[EVO 4G General] sjwaste:
At most! I'd be shocked if a root-safe version of the OTA wasn't available the same evening the update came out. That is, a version of the OTA for people that are already rooted and NAND-unlocked that doesn't kill su.

From what I understand, and that's generally not much, finding a vulnerability in order to root is the hard part. If you're already rooted, making the latest update root-safe is fairly trivial. Just a matter of removing the pieces of the update script that overwrite the components that allow you to maintain root in the first place.

Again, just speculating on that, but I think I recall it from the 1.47 root-safe OTA thread.

What is everyone's feelings on AntiVirus software??? Is it needed and if so which one is the best???
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngdhillon:
Anti-virus for linux is really not required...as there hasn't been many cases of android getting affected...but if you really insist on it you can find a few in the market but remember virus apps are always going to hog resources...but this is not true for all of them
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Android/Linux doesn't really have too many viruses, thanks to root/user seperation. The only real problem on Android is malicious apps in the Market that steal your data and ship it off to China, or stuff that purposefully costs you money (making your phone silently make international calls/texts, downloading like mad, acting as a botnet member, etc.)

So the Android "anti-viruses" are more like "anti-badapps."
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] The.Opethian:
Hello everyone. It seems that I can't see any other thread with this topic in my searches so I'm starting a new one.

FlipFonts are built-in to our Samsung Galaxy S's and they're quite nice. What are your thoughts on them, and do you have a favourite one?

My favourites are Dave Gibbons and Soho Gothic. I wish there were free fonts, or better yet, a way to use OpenType/TrueType fonts.

UPDATE /// Create Your Own Flipfonts!

Thanks a bunch to Ritalin for this. Hopefully a lot of people will join in making more FlipFonts available. :)

Here's my first try in making a FlipFont: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7776274&postcount=201
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] AllGamer:
agree, i've been pondering about that as well, there should be a way to convert/import regular TrueType fonts into our phones
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] MortimerJazz:
I've seen other fonts being and installed by users, but am I right in thinking that you need your phone rooted to be able to use them properly?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Mikulec:

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] xfox:
how can i use the flipfonts?

sorry for the Q
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] miker71:
the official route is to buy them from Market then

Settings => Display => Font Style

I do like the Helvetica Nueue and Frutiger but none of the flipfonts I've tried seem to include a bold weighting (important for me when seeing what email is unread, also the time in status panel should be bold etc).

Droid Sans (the default) is pretty cool though anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] miker71:
It's a pity no one's figured out how to package them in an apk for installation by non-root users. All good stuff though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] vdumitrica:
My favorites are Helvetica Neue and Soho Gotic (my #1 favorite), though some applications look a bit ugly when using other fonts than Droid Sans.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kinus:
and could you tell about unofficial route pls? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Are you guys serious... I created a method for making your own FlipFonts and posted it in every Galaxy S variant forum on XDA, Im a Vibrant user. Hell my howto was even posted on AdroidSpin last week.

This method does NOT need root and works just like the fonts in the market.

I present you with two threads. The first is my How-To thread with everything you need to start making FlipFonts. First time will probably take you about 20 minutes, After you get use to the steps you can make one in 5 minutes.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=745345

The next thread is the Vibrants Master List of user created FlipFonts. All that I ask is that you post your flipfonts in this thread so that they are all located in one location. We have been trying to keep the fonts in the first few posts with links that allow for download in the XDA tapatalk app.

--- EDIT ---

Already created my first FlipFont! I'll be posting it in that thread. Off to create screenshots now. It didn't come out as good as I wanted, it looks a bit too small, but hey. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ritalin:
No problems... I'm glad so many people have found the how to useful.

If you want to check your font size before making the apk double click on any of the capital letter glyphs after you do the paste special. This will open up the edit window for that glyph. You should see the original guides for android fonts listed there. Use the cap height and other to see if the new characters are too small or too big.

[Captivate General] Qmotion:
I'm following the Pimp my Captivate guide. I down loaded Droid explorer but it won't completely setup cause it's looking for Android SDK installed.

I'm using Windows7 64 and when I attempt to install Android SDK it tells me it can't find Java support. Is there a certain place that's best to install Android SDK?:confused:

What's the best way to install SDK on Win7-64 ?
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
2 options:

1) download the SDK from google, and and follow the directions, likely unzipping to c:\androidsdk\

2) choose the little blue hyperlink at the bottom right corner when asked for the location, where droid explorer will download and set it up for you.
[Desire General] MRE-net:
I guess nobody seems to care but I've searched almost the whole day for a solution but coulnd't find any or am I the only one who sends email with attachments other than pictures, video or audio etc ?

The big problem is the predefined set of file types you can attach to an email. This in both the HTC Email application and the Gmail application.

When you want to add an attachment to an email, you can only choose pictures, video's, audio, app share, location and document. What if I want to attach a .zip file or multiple zip files at once. No way you can do that. The only solution I found was a program called File Sender but this one only works for the Gmail application, whereas I'm an Exchange Active Sync user.

When started, the File Sender application opens a tiny file explorer in which you can choose the file you want to attach to an email. I want the same functionality in the stock HTC Email application. And no I don't want to buy 3rd party Exchange email clients. Any one with a solution or any one who can develop a mod/program/hack or whatever to bring this functionality to Android ? It would be nice to select multiple files at once no matter what kind of file type.

Thanks....
[Desire General] pascanu:
There are many apps that can solve your problem. For example install Blackmoon File Browser and you can attach any file in Gmail.
[Desire General] woodstok:
You can always change the extension of a .zip file to .jpg or similar and tell your recipient to change it back, saves you doing anything :)
[Desire General] MRE-net:
Thanks, but for Gmail there are solutions but I'm an Exchange user so I use the stock HTC Email application and NOT the Gmail app. For HTC email app there are only paid apps which can handle attachments as it should be.
[Desire General] Jabbafat23:
Try a file manager, I've got Astro and I can send with that through Gmail or the Mail app but I'm not sure about your exchange account.
[Desire General] kinkade:
+1 for astro, it'll allow you to send any file as an attachment in my experience. not used it with exchange though as i dont use exchange

Everything is working fine but now I cant use ## codes to make changes, like ##3282# nor does ##3282 (send) works either.

Did I disable it or is the code no longer need, if not then how do I program it.

Since I'm a newbie I was not able to post links:(
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
Which ROM are you using? If it's not based on one of the Sprint leaks, those codes won't work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dargpat:
Its Darchdroid v2.7 .... so is initiating the Force Roam still possible at all?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subcypher:
I'm sorry, I cannot help you there. I do know that DD2.7 is AOSP, so the ## codes will not work. Try searching in the DD2.7 thread for Force Roam and see what pops up.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chromiumleaf:
I am pretty sure that most or even all of those options in the ##codes## menus, including force roam, are specific to Sprint-based ROMs only. So I don't think you will be able to get access to force roam or any of those other ##code## options on DD 2.7 since it's AOSP only.

Supposedly Cyanogenmod 6.0 has a patch for 'roam only' mode to work on CDMA 2.2 builds, but it doesn't appear that that feature has been added to DD 2.7 yet, or even if it ever will be added at all. See this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7341226&postcount=2348

In Canada, Bell is releasing their version of Galaxy S. However, there phone have FRONT FACING CAMERA. I bought the captivate outright without contract, so i paid full $500. Bell and AT&T are in the same network. It will run in the US without any problems.

They said it will be released on the 6th of Aug. Thank god now i can return the Captivate without any problems. I don't mind the look of the Vibrant. However, with the Canadian Model, you can download Euro firmware with no issues.
[Captivate General] Croak:
You'll probably still have radio issues using Euro firmware.

I'd go that route myself, but I am on Telus so there's still that whole lock thing to sort out.
[Captivate General] sl8125:
Since i will be buying the phone right out for full price, I should have them provide me a unlock code. when flashing i won't need to flash the modem/phone file. just the pda/firmware and the csc file. what other issues is there? right? thats why i posted.

Quad band: ATT modem/phone will work

Firmware: i9000 pda files will work

CSC: ATT file should be fine too.

Now when flashing Captivate with JM1/JM2 you have to re-flash the phone with the right kernel so that we have all hardware functions. on this phone we will not have to. since the i9000 hardware and Canadian hardware is the same. Right? If i am misunderstanding these finds, please feel free to correct me. I would appreciate all info i can have.
[Captivate General] YellowGTO:
Hmm not sure. I think the US versions got the 6 axis thing. You might have issues.
[Captivate General] sl8125:
I think six axis on all Galaxy S models. That is just one of SGS features not just Captivate.

2- Love the phone, crappy battery life and all still love it. HOWEVER, I just read that sprint is not supporting the latest android release, is that because it does not have enough internal memory or storage, is the processor not fast enough, are they just bein dweebs about the whole mess, regardless, I am told that if I root my phone I can get it...so...again, see question 1.

3- HOW DO I ROOT MY PHONE?... without bricking it. I am a noob, so I need a "rooting for dummies" manual...I am on 2.1 with a Firmware 2.1 - update 1 /build#2.27.651.6 CL169236 Release-Keys / Software 2.27.651.6 / Kernel - 2.6.29.bc0d2cff ...blah blah blah...

I rooted my phone and was able to access Clockwork, but since then I have not been able to boot into recovery. I have gone through many troubleshooting steps including trying to use Rom Manager by clockworkmod to flash a new recovery, trying to go through to root process again and trying to use terminal and adb to flash a recovery. When I try flash_image, it says "flash_image: not found". Rom manager won't boot into recovery. My phone sticks at the exclamation screen when I try to manually boot into recovery. I can't use update.zip because that requires that you have the ability to user recovery. I haven't been able to find any other way to flash a recovery mod onto my system. Is there any way that I can just get the files that are supposed to be installed on the phone and the locations they are supposed to go to so I can just flash them one at a time? Or does anyone have another possible solution?

ESPRDIAG.zip

ESPRDIAG.nbh

ESPRIMG.zip

ESPRIMG.nbh

All those files are showing as missing when I start bootloader.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] riverajuan:
I think you need to re-root your device if not first. If it is rooted whatever rom you have selected to install needs to be in the root directory of your sdcard. Again before you can flash any rom you need to be rooted and have access to clockwork.

I hope that helps if not try this

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falken98:
Go through the root process again to get back to clockwork to flash a new ROM. Or follow the process to flash the engineering rom, which will save you from having to do all of that to get back in to clockwork recovery each time.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djayshaggy:
Finally got it to work, but is there any way that I can get it to go into Clockwork every time I boot into recovery without having to flash it again?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matt tallant:
Flashing the engineering rom will enable you to leave update.zip on the root of your sdcard and just flash update.zip eachtime you get to recovery to get into clockwork. Or if you have flashed eng build you can start using rom manager to boot into clockwork recovery. Afaik that's the only way to boot into clockwork.

Unless you're planning on running apps2sd with a custom rom, a class 2 will work just fine. 16gb cards are pretty cheap these days and will hold all you have to put on them.

Stick with a brand you recognize though. I've heard of people getting bunk sd cards from ebay.
[Desire General] AndroHero:
A security team named “Lookout”, who does have antivirus and anti-malware apps available for the Android platform, has said that there are a number of apps, all from the same developer, that are recording and sending out personal information from users’ devices to an unknown source somewhere in China, to include:

•browsing history

•text messages

•your SIM card data

•subscriber ID

•voicemail password (if it’s set to be entered automatically)

Is this a big deal? Absolutely. Should wallpaper apps be doing this? No way. However, there has been an unofficial response from Lookout concerning the uproar surrounding the situation, wherein Kevin Mahaffey, CTO for Lookout, Inc., states:

while the data the wallpaper apps are accessing are certainly suspicious coming from wallpaper apps, we’re not saying that these applications are malicious. There have been cases in the past where applications are simply a little overzealous in their data gathering practices, but not because of any ill intent.

While this is no justification for the problems surrounding the apps, it does clarify the possibility that this may simply be some slap-happy programming from an overly-zealous developer. Still, either way, we would recommend removing any of these apps in question. The list of suspected apps can be found here:
