I can make you one too.

Currently this one is at 1440*900 but I can reduce/increase it's size to your liking.

Edit: The attached one has shrunk. I'll put it on tinypic.

Hi jimjam707! I wanna have one too but i wanna have it with own.

To make it short, Will you teach me how?

I wanna learn how to make it on my own and I'll show you it was.

Will you PM me? Or if it's fine with you, you can just post it here. Thanks. ^_^

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobabcd:
Hi all, I am in somewhat of a confused state right now and hope you can help...

I have one of the first I9000s that O2 shipped here in the UK. My phone reports firmware of PDA/Phone I9000ADJF1 and CSC I9000O2UJF2. As I am in the UK I would have expected this to be one of the I9000XX firmwares and cannot seem to find any reference to the AD firmware anywhere.

Can someone shed any light on what the AD firmware is? Could it be that it is O2 specific and if so, do you think that flashing an XX firmware would cause a problem? I am just a little concerned about flashing this when 2.2 is officially out, hence the questions.

Please forgive my ignorance if the answer is simple, this is my first android phone :D

Bob
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android53:
Before you do anything...

PLEASE back up your phones rom and host it online!

there are several of us on this forum who have o2 UK phones and have since upgraded losing our original firmware. If you upgrade and dont back up your original rom you cant send it back for warrenty!

So at least make a backup using odin, or if anyone else knows the way to extract the rom please say now lol.

Other then that I9000ADJF1 is fine for flashing I9000XWJM2 or any of the other european ones. the AD just stands for '02'
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeMaMan:
Will ROM Backup within ROM Manager do as a backup? I had to Root the phone, then backed up ROM to SD card. I got same ADJF1 Rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bommel0815:
use clockwork recovery from ROM Manager (from the market) and do a nandroid backup :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeMaMan:
Ye. This is what i did. I just wander what it will contain rppted image. I will probably enable to unroot it later. Will all get back to normal(unrooted phone with warranty) then official froyo arrive?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UND3RTAK3R:
If do a window 7 system restore will the android adb/sdk not recognize my evo ie: abd shell / adb devices once I reinstall android sdk or will I have to make some other changes...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
if you restore to a point that is prior to your having installed the SDK or the Windows 7 adb drivers, it is likely that you will have to reinstall them.

if you are not going back that far, you should not have any problems.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TeoPT:
Hello!

I've recently rooted and installed Cursorsense32A on my HTC Magic and it was working perfectly.. 'till now..

I wanted to install CM6 RC2 Minimou so I installed ROM manager and flashed Clockwork mod, then I tried backing up the ROM I had before and it automatically restarted!

Now it keeps restarting and I can't even see my SPL data nor getting in the recovery image, even if I press VOL DOWN + POWER or HOME + POWER.

I really need some help now,

Thanks
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TeoPT:
I finally got it to work, after rebooting several times, it booted normally and from there I could install RA-Sapphire-v.1.7.0 and uninstall ROM manager =)

[Q] Why do people post [Questions] in the [General] section???

Anyone?

Anyone?

.

.

Bueller?

I don't get it. Do people not understand WHY we have a Q&A sub-forum?

Do people think their question will get answered sooner/better if they post it where it's not supposed to go?

I understand this is not an original thread and I am only one of many who are getting fed up with the lack of e-courtesy on the part of the wrong-section-question-posters, maybe some of them who haven't seen the other frustration threads will see this one and start posting in the right places.

Get with it people.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zabalba:
Can a mod move this thread to the correct section?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
This thread is already in the correct section.

It isn't actually a question, more of a statement.

If this thread was moved to Q&A then only the people who are already posting in the correct section would see it and not the people who come to the general section to post questions, who should see it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
I'm still annoyed at the whole "[Q]" thing. We can tell it's a damn question arleady. That's what question marks are for.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwertz:
I agree, but people need to just ignore the post in the wrong forum and the mod will move into the right forum. The problem is that when you tell someone they are in the wrong forum they go to that forum and post the same thing. Then the mod moves the other one and now we have two posts of the same thing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pecosROB:
I would think that a specific issue related to the phone would be posted in the Q&A section.

Like, "how do I change the settings for blah blah blah?" would be in Q&A.

But if someone wants to get a feel for the community, like "has your phone dl/ul speeds changed" or something like that, they post in the General section.

Q&A is for questions looking for solutions to a specific problem/issue and General is for general discussion of the phone. Just my 2 cents.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marctronixx:
i feel the OP's pain..

people post in general because they want their question "seen" by more eyes.. some post because they dont care for the sub forums.

this site is a devs site FIRST.. but over time the novice has made his or her way here and the dev base has eroded a bit with questions like "make me decide to keep my phone" or "iphone sux and here's why"... those questions should not even be asked in the first place and when they are posted it just muddies up the forum...

it gives mods more work to do in the end and the other sub forums dont see the right traffic they should be seeing.

if more folks post in the appropriate section, that would engage others to explore those forums...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
Seems very much like a question, ya even have the cute little [Q] to further indicate a question was about to go down. Complete with question marks, not to mention 3 question marks...sure looks like a question to me. And do you not seek answers?

Q&A, let's go.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
rhetorical...

and the [Q] was to bring attention to the fact that QUESTIONS DO NOT BELONG IN HERE, otherwise you wouldn't be suggesting this thread be moved... thank you for illustrating my point ;)

And no, I do not seek answers. I seek for people to ask themselves the question "where does my shiny new thread go" before they post it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beesneazy:
Was more in jest than not. I do get your point as well and I didn't prove your later point. It's clearly a question, either way. Coulda posted "reminder - questions belong in Q&A." People that can't already figure that out might be further confused by the thread.

I get ya though. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrazr7791:
Another thing is the whole "I searched and couldn't find anything..." response that is put in the title or question itself.

Glad to know I'm not the only one who feels this way. Now its time for the Dr. Phil "your so mean!" responses to start coming out.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
So let me see if I understand. If you want to say something, then do it in the general section. If your statement begins with: who, what, why, where, how, can, is, when, if, (I can't think of anymore), then it is a question and should be in the q&a section. Do I have this right?

Oops, now this belongs in another section because I asked a question. Ya just can't win, can ya? Crap! Another question!

No I don't have kids and I don't flame people (very often) and I'm a master at ignoring stupid threads. I'm aware of the extra burden misplaced threads puts on the mods, that's why I started this one to hopefully help prevent some of it before they have to take their time to move them.

i'm new to adb. i finally got it working. the correct string is added to Path, it's in my root directory C:\. i'm able to list my device, list directories, and even push/pull (did test to sdcard). i cannot, however, mount the /system directory to r/w.

this is what's happening

C:\android\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools> adb remount

remount failed: Invalid argument

i'm in recovery trying to do this. anyone know what's going on or can maybe lend some help? thank you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
if you do not have a rooted, NAND unlocked, phone, you will not be able to mount /system
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:
it is rooted and NAND unlocked lol

i was actually able to push but not where i wanted.

i did

adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework

but that's not where it needs to go

so i then did

adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/

and it says /system/framework is a directory, which i know lol that's where i need the file to go.

oh yeah, and i got it mounted as r/w. so now i'm just having trouble getting the file where it needs to be with the whole "is a directory" error instead of it actually pushing the file. still unable to pull a file from that location, though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
try writing the filename. it 'should' append it automatically, but if not then try

adb push com.htc.resources.apk /system/framework/com.htc.resources.apk

/system is under mtdblock4 on our device.

if you need to mount /system as read/writeable from adb, you should just be able to use

adb remount

if you are doing it in shell, use mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:

also, if you are having issues with the adb daemon, use

adb kill-server

adb start-server

that'll reboot the adb daemon

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
yeah, not sure what to tell you then. i can't piddle around in my own, because i'm on cm6, and won't have that.

are you sure it exists?

adb shell

# cd /system/framework

# ls

that will tell you what's in there. if you can't see it, it's not there.

from a brand new shell, (or bounce back up to the root directory)

try

find -name "*resources*.*"

that should tell you every file that contains 'resources' as a part of the file name, and where it is located.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:
it exists. i navigated to it using root explorer. but according to this, it doesn't exist :confused:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
you can't navigate to the folder if /system isn't mounted. if you just restarted the adb server, then it won't be mounted.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrvirginia:
that was prob the case, can't remember if i re-mounted or not when i was doing that. regardless, i was positively mounted when trying to push/pull and it wasn't working so i guess i'll just have to wait for someone to put it in a flashable zip.

i hate adb

[Desire General] jackie_jagger:
hey guys,

I'm on froyo on my desire, I remember the announcment about something regarding wireless access and wireless sync with the PC for apps and contacts and stuff like that, ...I forgot what is it called and cannot find my source..

where is that feature on the desire now that it has 2.2 !!

Cheers

Jackie
[Desire General] jackie_jagger:
Anyone ?
[Desire General] Lukehluke:
I don't think they have sorted that out yet.

I think thats an extra site feature and they have not upgraded the site yet.

Menu -> settings -> Wireless & networks -> Portable Wi-Fi....
[Desire General] jackie_jagger:
no its not the portable hot spot that I was talking about...

@lukehluke, Yea I think they still haven't sorted that out, it was supposed the be the Android Market website which allows you to login and install apps OTA to your device !!
[Desire General] chaos42:
I think what you mean is the ability to send stuff like maps, webpages, ...

from your browser to your phone. that is one big feature in froyo 2.2 which certainly rocks!

Its called chrometoPhone or something like this, there is also a plugin for firefox.

http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/

cheers

The previous owner of the HTC has used it for a transport company and the original windows is damaged. I wish to put back any windows on it trough the bootloader.

Thanks in advance for any help or advice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
As seen by the NoLED app over in the dev section, and in a few other places on the net, people are finding that when they display a black image on their amoled/samoled screens in a dark room there is still light emitted by the display. it is not truly black

I would like to know why!

One thing i hear is about image compression and signal noise causing the pixels to not display #000000 black and instead a variant of black/grey causing the pixel to become lit.

This problem is not an issue during the day, i can't tell the difference when my screen is displaying black or off. but what it does effect is battery life.

If the screen isn't powering down its pixels then it is not saving anywhere near as much power as it could do

Also

How happy are you with your display?

I knew about the pentile problem before buying, however i am not dissatisfied with the display at all. Infact if i did not read up about it i would not have realised there was anything different with the screen.

Text is clear and sharp, images are vibrant, and colours seem true with no issue of pink problems like the desire
[Galaxy S I9000 General] buddy01:
looool, look at any lcd screen(tv whatsoever) and you don't have true black, because the backlight is on. Only the best LED LCD screens in TV world have FULL LED backlight that can dim the leds from parts of the screen that are fully black in the processed image.

take care
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
yup, if you take apart your LCD watch, phone, laptop or monitor

you'll see 2 layers, first layer the LCD/TFT/AMOLED/SAMOLED/etc whatever new technology screen you can think of name it here.

then the bottom layer is pretty much like a light bulb/white led/ccfl or whatever you want to call it to light up the first portion of the screen.

most devices you can control the 2 separate pieces separately via "screen" and "back light"

you'll noticed that usually on software options what specifically lets you control both indedpendly.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ml78:
Eh.. Yes But the SGS hade OLED screen. So it should be able to turn pixels completly off. My guess is that each led has some very small current applied to it possibly to speed up response off screen.

But it come close to true blacks..

EDIT

OLED screen has NO backlight... Each pixel is an tiny led...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
thanks for the heads up, that's good to know :D

i've yet to take apart a new SGS to figure out how the AMOLED displays works :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
You guys need educating on displays lol

oled screens have no backlight, thus no backlight bleed.

That means that this is a software issue, unless the screen not powering down completely is intentional
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Pika007:
Software issue and nothing more.

Open up the calculator, drag down the numpad, hide the 2 stripes (status bar and numpad drag bar) in the top and bottom of the screen, and tell me if you see any lighting.

There's absolutely nothing.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] android53:
there is still light emitted. cover up the top and bottom bar with your hands, go into a completely dark room then look into the center of the screen.

There is a uniform glow, just like when looking at a black image in the gallery or browser
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rizlo:
It's actually more noticeable if you look AWAY. The peripheral area of your retina will be able to pick up a very feeble amount of light. Feeble, sure, but it's there nonetheless.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XQC:
seriously, guys?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
The problem is that the way it is supposed to work is that if you display black, the screen shouldn't use any energy at all but it is and people can see it and so is using precious battery charge.

The issue is... that apps like noled which were going to display a red dot on the screen to let people know if they had mail waiting or whatever wouldnt use much power at all because they were displaying mainly a black screen but it isnt actually black and still using light so still chews through the power..

hope that made sense.. but that is why people are interested in it..
[Galaxy S I9000 General] XQC:
Ok, I missed the battery part, sorry :D If so, it is indeed an annoyance...

I thought people were seriously complaining about image quality.
