Why? It doesn't work. The end.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
It worked every time I needed to use it. With the extended power menu I don't use it anymore because I can access recovery mode from it. How do you know it won't work until you try adding your ROM to it?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Because it won't support custom recoveries, which almost EVERY kernel on these forums now utilize. So it WON'T work. Just like Mikey said.

And your talking about just using rom manager?? The topic is developers using the option to have there roms show on the rom list inside the rom manager application.
[Captivate Android Development] derekedw:
That's odd...the last 4 or 5 ROMs I've installed still use clockwork and then usually provide extra steps IF you want to switch to a different recovery? So those extra steps are the reason?

Or do they use a modded CWM recovery? I know that CWM doesn't fully support some of the partioning we do for lag fixes....or didn't in the past, and this may be the reason?

Makes sense I guess....still sucks...used to be uber easy to install a rom right from the phone back in the droid days...newer technology = harder? :confused: And no it's not hard to do it..just not as easy as it was with ROM Manager.

Just another reason why Samsung can suck my......and I'll never do another sammy phone again.

Again thanks Devs for making this phone close to what Samsung should have made it. Really really hoping the Cyanogen Port goes well so we can get some real software on this puppy!

[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
You sure have fire coming-out your ass don't you. I don't know what it takes for a rom to be put in rom manager. Simply stating it doesn't work is not a good answer. If these devs have tried and could state in terms of what you are saying that would be a good answer. And yes rom manager does work just using it, so if something needs to be figured out in order for our file system to work that would be wonderful.

This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
[Captivate Android Development] ytt3r:
It works just fine, it has to be a recovery that supports hooks (or something like That), which all custom cwm's do.
[Captivate Android Development] 06chaynes:
I don't see the fine people that make CWM implementing a feature that "doesn't work" especially because you have to pay to utilize this feature. It would be nice to see the ROMs in this forum for the Captivate in the download list though.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
If you're on stock firmware, it works just fine.

However, I get person after person in my thread that can't do this, that, or the other thing because they're using ROM Manager instead of the embedded CWM.
[Captivate Android Development] krosseyed@gmail.com:
Having people pay for the option to even utilize this function is probably a good reason that developers are not cooperative.

Sorry Koush, even though I have a paid copy of ROM manager, I did so expecting CM support. But i don't know how far that can go if developers aren't getting their cut, especially when you get yours.

Just some food for thought.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Wait, they charge people to download ROMs?

What?!
[Captivate Android Development] krosseyed@gmail.com:
I thought you had to pay to get the updates directly from rom manager, not the roms themselves.
[Vibrant General] c0wb0ycliche:
I'm having only one serious problem with my Vibrant, and while it's a little problem, it's frequent enough that it is driving me nuts, and also doesn't allow me to use (at least) one of the apps I use every day.

The issue is, when I go to some web sites, whether in the stock browser, or in another browser, like Skyfire, or whether it's in the browser within an app (for example NewsRob articles) I get a psuedo-crash where it opens the stock browser and says:

In a pop up box: "Problem with file The requested file was not found. webkit/"

In the browser window itself: The Web page at file://android asset/webkit/ could not be loaded as: The requested file was not found. webkit/

In the address bar: the same url as above.

If I hit back a couple times, it will take me back to whatever content I am looking at. But this is incredibly annoying when it's half the articles I'm trying to go through on NewsRob, or when I click certain links and it comes up and I have to hit back a few times before I can look at the page.

I have noticed the following:

- it seems to happen on pages that use Flash, it might be javascript as well, but I'm not sure. HOWEVER, disable plug-ins and javascript in the browser setting does not change the error from happening.

- thinking that it has to do with Flash, I looked into it more on the device. I noticed in Applications, it shows Flash listed, as well as Pineone Flash lite" so I don't understand what level of flash the phone has.

- I also noticed that (coming from a Nexus One and myTouch Slide) I don't see thumbnails for a lot of flash video content like on those devices. If I got to sites with Flash content that is not a video, it's just not there.

Anyway, if anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be much obliged.

I searched google and found almost NOTHING, which is shocking and makes me think perhaps a hard reset would fix it, but I'd really rather not have to re-set up my phone if it's not going to help.

The only thing I found online was that apparently some Droid X owners are having the same issue.

Anyway, any help would be great.
[Vibrant General] youneek:
I have the same issue and just assume that samsung modified the browser so it broke whatever plugin its trying to access. The problem is any articles in newsrob that have an embedded video.

Sent from my Vibrant
[Vibrant General] c0wb0ycliche:
But I've found that it's any link from anywhere that leads to a page that has a video. Which is immensely annoying.
[Vibrant General] c0wb0ycliche:
any other ideas? does anyone else have this issue?
[Vibrant General] jhnstn00:
Captivate too

My Captivate has same issue. Thought I had broken the phone rooting, enabling sideloading,or hiding the bloatware.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
My guess is it's probably related to flash lite 3 which is a plugin preinstalled on the vibrant. I'm going to assume that this problem will disappear once froyo rolls out.
[Vibrant General] rurouni572:
I'm getting the same problem as well on my Samsung Captivate. Very annoying since more than half my articles have links to videos in them.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
I tried removing the flash files from /system/app and rebooting. It still happened. Disabling plugins in the browser doesn't help either. Irritating as hell, I sure hope CM6 or the official 2.2 release come out soon and fix this. And the GPS, compass, etc..
[Vibrant General] hurrpancakes:
I had the same issue with Dolphin Browser HD, but I haven't had the issue yet with the stock Vibrant browser.
[Vibrant General] rurouni572:
Does anybody have any insight on this? It's still plaguing my newsrob whenever there is an embedded video in the feed.
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
It's a problem with flash lite files. The vibrant has trouble with its implementation.

Not sent from my Vibrant using XDA App 'cause I returned it.
[Vibrant General] rurouni572:
I hate to make froyo this holy messiah but will froyo fix that as well?

I'm actually hoping froyo literally cures cancer.

Btw, I'm on a Captivate, but this topic wasn't in that forum. I thought it would be relatively universal though.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Koush:
It's easy, it's free. And here's how you do it!

You will need to create two simple JavaScript files:

A file that describes your ROMs that you send to me.

A file that you host that lists your ROMs, so you can update your ROM Manager section.

First, your developer/ROM description file:

{
// This is what name you want your ROMs to show up under.
developer: "CyanogenMod",
// Your id. This should have no spaces or other funny characters.
// This would ideally be your Github id, so when you send me your manifest
// I can verify who you are. But it can be anything really.
id: "cyanogen",
// The display summary. Two lines max.
summary: "Mods and bacon for Dream, Sapphire, Droid, and Nexus One",
// The location of the developer's manifest.
manifest: "http://gh-pages.clockworkmod.com/ROMManagerManifest/cyanogenmod.js",
// The list of devices that this developer's ROMs support.
// If you don't support a device, just don't list it!
roms:
{
galaxys: true,
sholes: true
}
}

Send me that file! koush@clockworkmod.com

Link to developer sample: http://gh-pages.clockworkmod.com/ROMManagerManifest/samples/developer.js

And now, create your ROM list file:

{
// The version of the manifest, so ROM Manager knows how to load it
version: 1,
// The homepage for your ROM, if you have one.
homepage: "http://www.cyanogenmod.com/",
// The donate link for yuor ROM, if you have one.
donate: "https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=3283920",

// Your list of ROMs
roms:
[
{
// Display name of the rom
name: "CyanogenMod 5.0.5",
// Display summary of the rom
summary: "Stable",
// Device that this rom runs on
device: "sholes",
// This is the download URL of your ROM.
// These URLs should have unique filenames per version!
// Ie, don't use a zip with the same name
// as that of a previous version with a new version.
// Otherwise ROM Manager will continue using the
// old cached zip on the SD card.
// This must be a direct download,
// and not a Mediafire type link.
url: "http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush/motorola/sholes/cyanogen_sholes-ota-eng.koush_5.0.5.zip"
},

// Antother, older ROM!
{
name: "CyanogenMod 5.0.4",
summary: "Stable",
device: "galaxys",
url: "http://www.droidaftermarket.com/koush/motorola/sholes/cyanogen_sholes-ota-eng.koush_5.0.4.zip"
}

]
}

Link to manifest sample: http://gh-pages.clockworkmod.com/ROMManagerManifest/samples/simplemanifest.js

And you're done!

If you're a pro dev, you can even create a ROM customizer. But I won't get into that here :)

[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
I recently aquired the Vibrant and all I have to say is OMG this is a fnatastic phone. it blows my cliq, cliq xt, and g1 out of the water.

Anywho, the one question I have now that my phone is rooted and has the clockworkmod recovery is when the 2.2 update releases around september-ish, will this effect the phone being able to update like it did for the cliq, or will i be able to flash 2.2 from root and just lose root. i would be ok with it at that point because 2.2 takes care of all the issues that i have with 2.1 update1. the only reason i know this is because i have 2.2 on the g1 and its amazing. any thlughts on the matter?
[Vibrant General] chucky80:
once rooted on this phone, you have to wait for one of the devs to dump a 2.2 flashable rom to get the update. This is why I am gladly waiting to get the ota before considering rooting. I love the phone as it is.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
yeah but I heard that if you just root only, you will be able to get the OTA update as you are still using the stock ROM. But if you are using a modified dev ROM, then yeah it will not auto update.

Can anyone confirm this?
[Vibrant General] danpaganelli:
Yes this is the case, if all you do is root the phone, you will still get Tmobile updates. You might lose root, but as was pointed out in a similar thread, Samsung doesn't seem to care about locking things up, so you should be able to root again easily.:D
[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
ok so its more in line with what the g1 used to do if you didnt go onto a modified rom. with the cliq, even if you root and are on the stock rom, you still cant load the ota update because it fails when you try to load it once downloaded. i dont mind losing root once 2.2 comes out, i just want to make sure i can get it. i was thinking of going back to stock without root, but i'm having some trouble getting the phone in download mode
[Vibrant General] boodies:
Thanks for the input. Has this been the case for any other phone? Where rooting only will still get you OTA updates, or is this a theory?

Thanks~
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jeffc313:
Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to use a wifi (micro/mini/regular)SD card on the verizon xv6800 on android. I know that there was some success using this adapter

ameri-rack.com/APA-TFC1m.html

to a full sized sd on WinMo (6.1 iirc), but not much was said about it. I'm on verizon and really can't afford the data plan, but without _any_ internet this phone isn't really worth it to me. If the wifi works at all with android I'm going to buy one!

Thanks,

Jeff
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jeffc313:
yeah, I've checked it out, and while great that most features can be made to work, I'm on a college campus with wifi all around most of the time, so having wifi would be great.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mikurej95:
Well, the micro sd wifi isn't the only option out there.

there is a mini usb to wifi adapter you could use:

http://www.dhgate.com/10pcs-newest-...r-11g/p-ff80808127be294d0127d11b43965e88.html

and then there is a micro sd to sd adapter here: http://www.ably.com.tw/pdt/viewpdt.asp?absp=3&cat=OTHERS

and then you could use a wifi sd card like: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=0ADBMXW7P49F2R23KJJY

I also heard there was microsd wifi cards, but were double the size lengthwise and stuck out of the phone. and they also didn't have much luck with compatibility.

im not sure if any of these methods work, and i doubt the will. you will probably need a driver for the usb mini adapter. but a website(http://acassis.wordpress.com/2010/01/27/microsd-wifi-with-linux-support/) says there is a linux compatible microsd wifi card made by a japanese company, and android being linux based, who knows.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jeffc313:
also I have posted another SD wifi card, I don't know if the eye-FI one can do anything but transmit the data stored on that particular card.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
Here's what you would need hardware wise.

-SDW-821 SDIO Wifi card

http://www.buy.com/prod/spectec-sdw...d/q/listingid/22339724/loc/101/207906321.html

-A MicroSD to sd adaptor with a ribbon cable.

http://www.ably.com.tw/pdt/viewpdt.asp?absp=3&cat=OTHERS#

(You can supposedly send their sales team an email and they'll hook you up)

I can't justify spending more than I spent on this phone on speculation, but if anybody tries it and it works, please post back because many of us would love for this to happen.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jeffc313:
yes, this is exactly what I'd love to know. If I owned the phone then I'd be happy to drop the $50 or so to test it out, but my getting the phone right now is contingent on getting wifi on android (or even winmo) to work.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
It is not impossible - dzo has stated that he has the documentation for usb host - but there's no driver yet.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
Wouldn't it be easier to use the sdio rather than tie up the usb port?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
if you could find a microsd, sdio wifi card that fit WITHOUT having to cut the casing and still gave you storage? yes. but since we've never found one of those, usb ftw.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
What about this setup I posted earlier?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] mrkite38:
lol... i guess that would work... definitely cleaner that the stub of the card protruding from the side. but think of all the cool stuff we could do with usb host... :D
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
Yea, but then your usb port would be tied up.

No headphones, no charging, etc.

USB host is cool, but not very practical. Or portable.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jeffc313:
so is scottter's method confirmed working? sorry for so many questions :o
[Touch CDMA Android Development] scottter:
Nothing can be confirmed working untl somebody tries it.

Theoretically what I outlined should work, but I'm not willing to spend $80 on a theory.

If somebody does try it they should probably know their way around android pretty well, preferably a dev in case there are modifications needed.

EDIT: I just added up the cost and it would be closer to $80, the microsd to sd ribbon cable is about 30 if you add shipping, and the sdio card is about $45

i have been using the case from Tmobile for the last few days but it is too bulky. I hope this one is a bit thinner. Just passing another option along - will report back when it arrives.

also, these are the screen protectors I found... they will be here soon. again, I will report back ASAP: "REALOOK T-Mobile Samsung Vibrant Anti-Fingerprint Premium LCD Screen Protector 2 Pack"

take care,

Im sticking with my tmobile case which to my surprise was pretty well made, until reviews about the mesh case get in.
[Vibrant Accessories] PrestoMovie:
Same here. I saw the gel case in my local store a few days before I got my Vibrant and decided I would wait until it's official "launch" day to see what else they'd get. I got to the store, and not only do they not have any other cases, they don't have the original one anymore! I had to drive 20 minutes to another store to get one and I actually really like it. I planed on getting a gel case anyways just so it could have some shock drop protection, and this case looks and feels great.
[Vibrant Accessories] rhcp011235:
Seriously. We pay $600 for this phone. TMO sells this case in high quality for $20 bucks.

if you can afford $600 whats another $20 to save your investment? same goes for the screen protector
[Vibrant Accessories] b0ricuaguerrero:
sucks to be you if you payed $600 for a phone. t mobile cases are the shiz they do the job well
[Vibrant Accessories] AndroidZ28:
T-Mobile sells the phone for $500 without a contract? Most people get it cheaper than that...

Why anyone would pay $600 is beyond me...
[Vibrant Accessories] sandman2025:
For those who have an older plan it is worth in the long run to pay 600 now and not being forced into a higher price plan and never being able to get cheaper plan again.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 24bronco:
I have the N1 rooted with cyonagen latest Rom and I notice that anytime I hook up my data cable to computer to transfer files that after I disconnect I am losing some widgets on my home screen. I had the app batt widget and Tajm and also silent widget (all installed from the market). after I disconnect all apps disappeared and left with the message,"problem loading widget". I checked in the add to home screen widgets and the names of the apps are not there. I then checked in the settings/ applications/...and then apps show as being installed on the phone.I also notice that my input method for Texting also is gone and reset to the default android Text Input. I then have to go to my settings/keyboard and then check the Sywpe box or the Swiftkey box. Has anyone experienced anything like this? its driving me crazy as I have to uninstall and intall apps all over again. Thanks in advance :confused:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
sounds like you have apps installed to the memory card. its a well known issue that any apps on the sd card become not viewable when connected to usb. and wigets cannot be installed to the sd card for this same reason.

but its G1 so what do you expect.

in step by step detail can someone please explain the process of getting the rom to work. i tried a file from doperoms and when i putin the correct bios and clicked on the twisted metal zip it open another folder and said there was nothing in the folder. can you please guide me in this. i been so fustrated tryna figure this outfor a while now lol any help is appreciated
[G1 Apps and Games] silthos:
Don't download off dope roms unless you know how to convert their psx roms to .ISO or .BIN. I use emu paradise forums as long as the roms are in those two formats you should be fine the only problem is even with swapper or linux swap you cant get enough memory for the games. They seem to run incredably slow and it makes it unplayable unless someone can get the linux swap only to work for psx4droid so it only gives that program the memory it needs then maybe it'll play like the moto droid does with psx4droid. Anyway good luck with getting it run well.

If any progress in getting this to run smooth on G1 PM me :)
[G1 Apps and Games] ransu:
Sad to say it but psx4droid is just a novelty on the G1. Ive tried tekken on down to a 2d game like Suikoden. It makes no difference wat you do. Even overclocked to 700 sumtin mhz with set cpu you only can get around 5 fps.
[G1 Apps and Games] B6gSix:
I got it running a lil faster than 5fps I'm not sure but I keep it at default. And also I disable the sound it gives it a boost. But I will do a video on youtube tonight or tomorrow. Jus search my username androidappman and you will see the video it won't be hard to find.
