jboxer, as a matter of fact, i did mine update from cupcake using windows zipped folders and notepad, worked fine. About Notepad opening other files incorrectly - thats true, and for that matter we have wordpad, which can open everything just as well, as notepad++.

As u can remember, i didnt need the info on how to update, i was just asking if it was worth it, and about bugs/issues. And as u can also remember, u have addressed me as a person who asks noob questions, setting the mood in the first place.

but, please, put that aside, the forum is not for that kind of discussions.

Overclocking the i858 - Getting Closer

I've been looking inside the bootloader of the i858 and it appears that the kernel supports the following frequencies: 208, 312, 416, 403, 624, and 806 Mhz. As we all know our phones are set to run at 624 Mhz, but when I check the speed mine is actually running closer to 619 Mhz.

The problem is that normally there is a directory named "cpufreq" located at "/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/" which has a number of files in it the system uses to regulate the CPU frequencies and voltages. On the i858 there is no directory named "cpufreq". I cannot figure out how to remount "/sys" as writable. When you remount "/system" it has no affect on "/sys". I have Googled and googled and cannot find how to make "/sys" writable. If I can make it writable I can create the directory and play around with putting in the frequency control files to see if the phone reads them.

I also think this is why setcpu is crashing. It is trying to access those files and they don't exist. The nonexistence of the files was not considered by the developer of set cpu, as most devices have them, and it creates a force close condition.

Here is the current CPU info generated by the phone:

Processor : XScale-V3 based processor rev 9 (v5l)

BogoMIPS : 618.65

Features : swp half thumb fastmult edsp iwmmxt

CPU implementer : 0x56

CPU architecture: 5TE

CPU variant : 0x0

CPU part : 0x693

CPU revision : 9

Hardware : saar

Revision : 0000

Serial : 0000000000000000

jboxer, indeed, I also tried to fool around in /sys/devices/system/cpu/ using the "root explorer", but it didnt want to mount it as r/w, even thou other folders is working fine with r/w mount and root access...

Will try to search for the solution also! Keep the thread running...

btw, wherent there are any news regarding new roms from i-mobile? Maybe from droidsans something?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jboxer:
At current there is nothing on newer roms. If you want to keep abreast of roms check out droidsans.com daily and use google translate to read the posts. If there is a new ROM it will be posted there as soon as it is available.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] t-bon3:
There is no cpufreq module present or loaded in the ROM.

It's not just as simple as creating a directroy and some files.

Thanks guys for the info. I did get it to update. I was thinking why it said Touchstone so I tried it without changing anything and it worked. It was not Cupcake as it was already updated at the service center. Have not noticed much difference. Where is the screen calibration?

Kinda off the subject of this phone. Anyone know about the i-note that is coming?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jboxer:
Normally, capacitive screens don't need calibration. If you think it needs it and you have rom 1632 there is a screen calibration utility in the recovery program. Turn off phone, Turn on holding home and power. After vibration let go of keys. The phone will boot into recovery mode. There is now an option in the recovery program to calibrate the screen.

I-mobile i858 Android 2.2 ??

Anyone have Android 2.2 ROM for I-mobile i858.

I found the 2.2 for I-mobile i858 in china website, but no link to download.

And then How can I use tango video call at my i858 ??
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jboxer:
Those websites claiming 2.2 are just scam websites trying to cheat people into selling phones they don't have. That's why they make the most outrageous claims they can. There is no 2.2 rom that has been leaked or released to the public yet.

If you are in a regular call you can press menu and enable a video call. I don't know what Tango is.

r1632 unstable - reverting back to r1367

I have had too many problems with r1632. The two main ones are that the phone spontaneously reboots itself many times a day for no reason that I can determine, and recently some alarms are not turning the phone on (was almost late to work because of this). I have flashed my phone back to r1367. The thing I will miss from r1632 is that the barcode scanner apps worked; but that doesn't justify alarms not working and the phone resetting. If anyone wants to flash to r1367 themselves I will make an SD card flash and post it. Or buy me lunch somewhere in Bangkok and I will flash it for you (LOL).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Synman:
Agreed - r1632 too buggy

It's unpredictible too. I can go a full day without a lockup / reset then all of a sudden I have to pull my battery 2/3 times.

Have also noticed some lockups around cycling WIFI and BT but am not sure they're isolated to r1632. Will likely fall back to r1367 myself tonight and deal with the limitations.

Tried to post a screenprint from my i858 settings but apparently noobs can't post links :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Synman:
You need to get ClockSync from the Market. I'm a US AT&T subscriber and using the Android's built-in automatic setup it puts me in the central time zone (possibly related to crazy US DST and the time offset) -- problem is in the Eastern zone.

Solution for me was to disable automatic update and install ClockSync from the Market (you need Universal Androot & SuperUser Permissions for this to be 100% worry free).

I then set ClockSync to use NTP, automatically sync ever 24hrs and to always sync at reboot. Using GPS it can also dynamically detect and set your timezone.

All of my time sync issues went away once I did this mod. Well worth the effort assuming we can't get the built-in time management stuff worked out.

Hi All,

I've been using Modaco ROM for a long time now and am just curious as to what else is out there.

A quick search as left me totally confused as to which ROM to try next. There are so many different ROMs and each with many of their own variations...

What I'm looking for is the best performing Android 2.2 or 2.1 based ROM that includes A2SD and HTC Sense.

I know most people are happy to get rid of Sense, but I actually quite like it.

Any suggestions?

I downloaded the Captivate free version of quickoffice and used with the default email program without problem. Now that I switch to K-9 mail I cannot open my attached documents. When I click on the opne button it says "cannot find a viewer". I have to save de document and open it in quickoffice.

Any idea how to fix that?

Thanks

I can't offer a solution, but it works fine for me, and I didn't do anything special.
[Captivate General] floppy__:
What version of quickoffice do you use? I use de Quickoffice for captivate.

And did you install K-9 after or before Quickoffice?

I try to uninstall Quickoffice and reinstall but the problem is the same. In fact on one email I can open a docx and on another email (same account) it doesn't open saying "cannot find a viewer"
[Captivate General] xargs1:
I installed the free Captivate Quickoffice, then installed K9 after that.

I can't open docx though, only doc. K9 thinks it's a zip file.

in fact a docx is a zip file :) if you rename a .docx .zip you can open it and you will find the text in clear and a xml file

i have framework-res.apk? Phonebook.apk? Phone.apk

and i know about adb commands but i wonder what is the diffrences it's all about replacing apk files and i manged that with root explorer and the guide is too hard it's all about modfications of the system files but it didn't tell us how to use an exsiting theme files ....is it all about the remount command that make us have to use adb ??? thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] xGary:
Not sure if ADB is required but thats the only method I know of. A step by step guide (Might want to double check with advanced users)

1) Install ADB and set the environment variables, etc.

2) Go to the folder (Should be c:/android-sdk-windows/tools) and open adb.exe (If it flashes and auto closes, open up cmd [Start>Run>cmd] and drag the adb.exe into the cmd and press enter)

3) Put Phone In Debugging Mode Settings>Applications>Development>USB Debugging

In ADB, type these commands

*Note that the commands are case sensitive*

Pull the files you are about to replace with the following commands:

cd c:/anrdroid-sdk-windows/tools

adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk framework-resk.apk

adb pull /system/app/Phonebook.apk

adb pull /system/app/Phone.apk

4) Now framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk should be in your tools folder where your adb.exe is. Put these files somewhere safe.

5) Now drag your new framework-res.apk, Phonebook.apk, and Phone.apk into the tools folder.

6) Go back to adb and type the following command:

adb shell mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock2 /system

7) Now these commands will move your new theme files to the sdcard:

adb push framework-res.apk /sdcard/framework-res.apk

adb push Phonebook.apk /sdcard/Phonebook.apk

adb push Phone.apk /sdcard/Phone.apk

8) Now these commands will install the new theme files in the sd card from the previous step:

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/framework-res.apk of=/system/framework/framework-res.apk

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phonebook.apk of=/system/app/Phonebook.apk

adb shell dd if=/sdcard/Phone.apk of=/system/app/Phone.apk

9) Now your phone will restart (If not, manually restart) and your theme should be installed.

Gary~

Hey guys. I am new to Android development, but I noticed that Froyo is coming out in waves in a few days. I also noticed that Sprint is letting us manually check for updates. So my question is: Because of the possibility of them plugging holes in rooting, etc., should we update, or stick with 2.1 for now? Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
Welcome to the forum! It is safe to use the rooted 2.2 ROMs from here. Don't install the HTC/Sprint OTA update if you want to keep root or root in the future.
[EVO 4G General] pongoface:
Froyo poyo. Ok this is the way I see it. I have 2.1 with 55fps and 4g wifi tethering. Froyo omg really 40mflops and 1200 quadrant score, wow. But only 30fps, setcpu not working correctly, no 4g tethering, and will have issues for let's just say until HTC releases the kernal. Then and only then will froyo be worth it in my opinion. Then the devs here will be able to get 55 fps and 4g wifi back.

Froyo faster and stripped - Eclair slower but everything working.
[EVO 4G General] davebu:
SetCPU does work, as does wifi and usb tethering, oh and the 30FPS cap is broken too. Search for a different kernel you obviously can't overclock the stock one.

[EVO 4G General] dallastx:
Final build is in 3 days don't think much will change if anything. Anytime something is "so called" leaked every company always say "don't download or may not be final". The goal here was to beat Verizon and Motorola to the launch by as many days as possible. I think sprint handshake with HTC had something to do with it. One days its announced OTA will be released in 5 days the next day its on the companies website.

Hi!

I just got a raph100 up and running, and started by updating the ROM. But after I updated it to the newest version my wifi wouldn't work, when I pressed the enable wifi-button it just kept spinning until it gave up, nothing happened.

I'm starting to think this is a HW problem as I can't see the mac-adress or anything from WM, and in android it just says error.

So I was wondering if there is anyway I could know for sure wether or not it's a hardware failure ?

help appreciated!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] jeepers007:
Go to a Starbucks or McDonalds and see if you can connect there.

If you can, then it is either the security you have on your wifi router, or the router itself may have firmware issues that your Raph is sensitive to.

I was having issues with the security protocols between my Raph and my router. All my wireless laptops were fine, but the Raph either wouldn't connect, or would connect but lose connectivity quickly. I changed my routers firmware to DD-WRT and everything is fine now.

This is in continuation to this thread.

I believe that we should demand a recall from HTC of their junky chargers. As of a couple days ago, my charger stopped working. In order to get it to charge my phone, I need to unplug and plug in my phone 20-40 times and get the physics of the connection PERFECT... if my phone moves 1mm, it will stop charging, so I need to have the phone somewhere that it will not move...

This is not the case with my Car Charger, so I know it is simply the phone charger itself that comes with HTC... they supplied us with $0.10 charger cables to save money, and we should demand a higher quality cable be supplied to us after buying their "Flagship Device"

Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Apple did something similar, so this might work.

HTC could do something similar, couldn't they?
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Wait, are you complaining about the charger plug or the USB cable? Replacement cables are, like, a nickel on EBay. Or you can get an adapter and use your old micro USB cables.

If it's the charger itself, you may get some sympathy from OEMs, but I wouldn't even waste the stamp (or email) for a cable. Just my opinion, of course.
