[Galaxy S I9000 General] Dark-Master:
Hello to XDA :D

I've been using I9000 for 2 weeks and this is my first smartphone. I really love it. I read many topics in XDA and I found many many many ways to improve my I9000 performance, so I just want to say that I'm so thankful for XDA people.:)

Okay, here is my question.

Now I'm using ADW.Launcher and I also tried LauncherPro. They replaced both homescreen and app drawer. But I love how we can manage our app drawer in TouchWiz by Samsung. So I can manage where to put my app, I keep each type of app in the same page instead of sorting them by their name. And I found out that I can't do that in most Homescreen Replacement Apps.

Is there anyway that I could use I9000 default app drawer or is there any good homescreen app that allow me to do that?

I'm not so sure if it's my fault not to see that kind of option.:p

ps. Sorry for my weird english, I'm trying to improve.:(
[Legend Themes and Apps] c_man:
Hey all,

I've noticed there is not one single theme posted in this sub-forum...

Are none being developed?

Do you guys go elsewhere to grab them?

Is everyone using the stock/non-modified theme? :D

I would guess the way they are loaded in the same way as described on TheUnlockr??

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-load-a-theme-on-an-android-phone/

...If so, where are the themes for Legend in the first place?
[Legend Themes and Apps] Firecold:
There are no themes, cause the only root method doesn't gives /system access. Yup, we have root, but it's not actual root
[Legend Themes and Apps] c_man:
Thanks for the reply and info - I had no idea!

Is gaining the necessary level of root simply not achievable, or is it a case of no-one having a go at it yet?
[Legend Themes and Apps] cryshop:
Our legend doesnt have Nand access, which allows us to modify anything deep inside the phone, Desire recently has it. The app for theming - Metamorph - doesnt work on Legend, so, you may interested in this theme (actually its a ROM), it's Espresso from HTC.
[Legend Themes and Apps] c_man:
Thanks for that info, slowly I am understanding more and more ...;)

Will the Legend ever get 'Nand access' ? Or is that a silly question? :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Firecold:
Hope it will. Everything ordinary user can do is keep on requesting for it=)
[Legend Themes and Apps] cryshop:
Yeah, It possibly will, because people can do that on Desire, EVO 4G. It's just the matter of time, more Legend users, more chances :)

This is how they do Nand root on HTC EVO 4G : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=701835
[Legend Themes and Apps] SiL3nTKiLL:
good themes :)
[Legend Themes and Apps] Firecold:
Which root method makes this possible on desire? Never heard about it before
[Legend Themes and Apps] c_man:
Well here is one theme that apparently works on the Legend: [Theme] Weiss Theme 0.6 for CM6, 21/8
[Legend Themes and Apps] MacaronyMax:
try looking in the hero themes section im sure most aosp themes will work with :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
Indeed it does work, I'm using it right now. :D
[Legend Themes and Apps] c_man:
I used it for a while too, I think it looks very nice. However, I couldn't get the battery to show as percent whilst keeping the notification bar of that theme, so I reverted back to the 'default Azure' one.
[Legend Themes and Apps] elessarion:
I'm sorry if this is a stupid question but how do you revert it? Install Azure rom again or?
[Legend Themes and Apps] c_man:
I didn't know either.

So, as I wrote in the thread for that theme, I reinstalled Azure. I'm sure there's a more simple way to do but I had no idea how...
[Legend Themes and Apps] BlaY0:
One would need a SPL that allows write access to certain mtd partitions. There's realy so little interest in hacking Legend as it is not so widely spread and atractive as for instance Desire or EVO. There's one other thing... engineering SPL for Legend haven't been leaked from HTC yet :(

But there's an alternative which could make theming possible...
[Legend Themes and Apps] mccard:
Oh man, just rooted my Legend and was looking forward to appying some themes!

So, is there no way we can apply themes? What about metamorph?
[Legend Themes and Apps] c_man:
I *think* the door to many possibilities has been opened by this mod:[MOD] full r/w access via overlay filesystem, since it allows access to part of the system that we didn't have before.... and allows for themes to be applied. See BlaY0's post above.

Anyone know what the next step is....?
[Legend Themes and Apps] TheGrammarFreak:
It doesn't give actual write access, but it should allow for metamorph to work.

The next step is persuading ROM developers to actually put that script into their ROMs.
[Legend Android Development] alvinm93:
Hello, i've a HTC Legend rooted with CleanEclair rom, i wan't to flash to the official rom (it's more stable) how to do this?, , and is it possible to update to 2.05 by Configure > About > Update without brick the root?

And if i do this, when froyo update be released by ota, can i install this without problem?
[Legend Android Development] MOIYKE!:
Got a feeling you'll need to use the official ruu exe files from htc. You should be able to download the 2.03 update from shipped roms, and install it by connecting your phone to the pc and running the ruu exe.

Then check for system updates on the phone after to update to 2.05. As far as I know at the moment, nobody has posted a 2.05 ruu. So this is why you'll have to do it this way. Also I have heard that the 2.05 ota may have been removed possibly in preparation for the froyo update, or to give more server capacity to the desire froyo update, which has already gone out.

Also sorry for the essay. Hope it helps.
[Legend Android Development] MOIYKE!:
Also from the stock Rom, you should then be fine just to update to froyo as and when the ota is released to the legend. I'm also running cleaneclair and am planning to do the exact same.
[Legend Android Development] BesFen:
You can only update ro 2.05 if you unrooted your legend.

I don't know about froyo, it can update manually or by OTA.

Flashing an official RUU over a custom rom -- wouldnt that make you lose your root?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] psvictor:
Hello there!

2 weeks ago I have replaced my Dynapack 1350 mAh battery with a 2800 mAh one for my Tilt 8925. Everything is great just that the phone does not recognize the new battery which means that it shows the same lifetime of the battery as being short as the previous one.

Everytime I'm getting the low battery message I have to shut off the phone, remove and plug the battery back and the battery shows 50-70% battery so I get 1-2 more days to fool around with it.

My question is: is there any tweak/software that can be installed in order to keep monitored the battery according to its actual lifetime? Or should I start making a habbit of unpluggin/plugging the battery?

Thanks in advance!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] psvictor:
Any ideas? :)

Hi, Im getting really frustrated with my HD2 freezing up on the lock out screen and sometimes when I put press power button slightly it turns on and off repeatedly, far to say this doesnt liek a rom issue because ive tried loads, is any one having these issues.
[HD2 General] dio62000:
Very likely to be a hardware problem. I had my screen module replaced by HTC (keys and screen) and now everything works flawless again.

Look for a thread called "HD2 Died...or did it?" You might find it helpful.

[Desire General] Geeba:
I've just done the OTA update on a de-branded Orange Desire....

I think its killed it.....

the phone rebooted after the update and sat at the screen lock screen with no service... when I drag it down to unlock it I get a wait rotation box and then "Process System is not responding" come up. The phone then re-boots...

Its stuck in this cycle....

Pointers really appreciated... :(
[Desire General] F3L1X1:
i'm having this problem too on my HTC desire but it's not branded

please help :(
[Desire General] Geeba:
Mine has finally booted up.. after a hard reset.... but wont connect to the network and reboots after a couple of minutes when the Process System crashes.... :confused:
[Desire General] Geeba:
Will I be able to roll this back to 2.1 with a gold card?

Do you think that I did the update without a goldcard is the problem? :confused:
[Desire General] SkinBobUk:
You need to update using the gold card. I found this out the hard way too. To cure my phone I placed the 2.2 update file on the root of my gold card and using the phone's boot loader selected recover. It's worked a treat and saved all my settings.
[Desire General] widemouth31:
I had the same problem with a debranded phone. This also fixed it for me.
[Desire General] kurtish:
I'm still trying to fix mine :/
[Desire General] Geeba:
After I made the goldcard I left it in the phone for a while... copied the odd bit of music and video to it... is it still a goldcard?

I never formatted it or anything else... I just left it in the phone. :confused:
[Desire General] Geeba:
Can I still do this after I have got 2.2 on the phone now? I checked the software version.. it definitely says 2.2
[Desire General] kurtish:
I've done what the above have done, with the goldcard....but I have no service or anything.....it keeps coming up with errors,I can't see my SD Card,I think it's had it!

I am in the POOH too!

I took the 2.2 update OTA on my T-Mobile HTC Desire and now it continually reboots after a while but will not connect to the mobile network and WiFi just shows error and will not even turn on!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicoloco:
Hi folks,

as I said in an earlier post about the gps I wanted to test at the same time my old iphone 3GS and my new samsung galaxy S

I thought it would be best to use the same software and the only one I can think of was imapmyrun.

So this weekend my wife was driving on the highway ( so no building and the sky was cloudless) and I thought it was the perfect time

I siwthed on impamyrun on both.

On the iphone the fix took maybe 10 sec and the blue dot was moving witht he car and on the road ( so at leat 10m precision)

On the samsgun it took maybe 20-30sec to get the fix but then I started to record and ... nothing. The phone totally froze.

I tried to stop but I couldnt

I checked the memory and it was the only app with around 100 mo of memry free

After 10mn of hitting the stop button a reboot, 2-3 kill with autokiller, systempanel ... the record was still on. I the app creashed 10 times ...

So I didn't manage to run my test and I was crazy on my seat trying to make it work.

So ... anyone using it ? does it work fine ? Do you use an external sd card ?

For fun I used mytracs this morning during my run ( sunny like hell and on the coastal walk so no building closer than 100m) and look at what I got

http://maps.google.com/maps/mm?ie=UTF8&hl=en&ll=37.0625,-95.677068&spn=53.609468,97.294922&t=h&z=4

A little bit scarry but as I have nothing to compare with it's a little bit useless

I am using JM2 with no extra fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milsjg:
So why start a new thread about this, you already been in other GPS error threads. Try to be a little bit focused otherwise you may be considered as just complaining for some strange reason. Change your signature to the right firmware it now says JFF.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicoloco:
ok that's true

Actually the main purpose of my thread is imapmyrun

This is the software I use for my run and ride and I was using it on my iphone

So the only question I have is : is there anyone using it and do you have any trouble.

My feeling is that it has been ifrst done for the iphone and then maybe poorly ported to android ( mytracks is not bugged like this one ....)

EDIT : signature updated ...

Would it be possible to move this thread to the apps part instead of general ??

[TG01 General] Scougar:
Is it just me, or for the rating of (3.2?) the camera on this phone is terrible. Has such bad low light performance as well. Wouldn't surprise me to find that the 3.2 figure was achieved by interpolation rather than optical rating.

Any idea why it's so bad?
[TG01 General] elder T:
3.2 Mega Pixel is indeed the resolution for the camera, low light shooting is problematic with any phone camera regardless of the brand, if you want to take good pictures in low light setting you need a very good DSLR camera with iso 1600 upwards.:rolleyes:
[TG01 General] nueloc:
the camera is cheap because the phone is cheap with a 5.o mpx it will cost as much as a touch hd, but is a phone camera so it will work for quick pics not for lanscapes and sundowns :D
[TG01 General] Jonous:
Crappy cameraaaaaaaaa :D:D:D:eek::eek:

Get a decent digiatal camera to do your job right. Only case i''ll be forced to use it is maybe a car hit on the road just to prove facts :D. But then again i always carry my small camera with me so not even then hahaha
[TG01 General] Scougar:
Funny that my k800i was able to provide much better pictures, not brilliant but far superior and acceptable quality for quick snaps. The tg01 quality is terrible, and gotta admit even in good light it's pretty bad. Even getting it without being blurred can be a problem sometimes.

I personally think either some compression is being used unncessarily behind the scenes or just the camera application sucks, well to be honest the app does suck, you can't even zoom (as far as I can tell), or change the amount of exposure. Changing the exposure is a basic feature.

For a while I was ironically carrying around the phone I used to own just to take pics with, I can't even take pics of car parts without thinking the quality is naff.
[TG01 General] Jonous:
I realy regret passing my old omnia to my wife :o, it took great pictures for a camera phone and it also had exp+-, wb, iso setting (:eek:) and a bright very powerful and very usefull led light! Great phone allaround.
[TG01 General] Pere:
Camera sucks? Any phone camera (with it's small plastic lens) can take better pictures than the cheapest of the real compact cameras with true compound coated lenses...

I think that camera works quite well to use to take pictures of interesting items in a shop, books, compact disc, and the macro works really well.

Any photo camera under bad light conditions can't take good pictures.

On the other hand if you mean that the photo software is too basic, I agree. No white balance, exposure control, and so on. It would e great finding a camera software better for our TG01.
[TG01 General] Scougar:
Hmm.. perhaps my complaint is really surrounding the software rather than the camera itself, although I still think the quality of pictures leaves much to be desired.

The root for 2.1 and 2.2 contains busybox, su and Superuser.apk.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BlazerRazor:
You are correct. I haven't tested this yet, but with the latest JP3 you can not get root by simply applying update.zip. You need to switch back to JP2 kernel and then copy over busybox and su. Then flash JP3 when done again. I do not think this tool does that... I can't see how all of that can be automated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] SquidgyB:
Read the OP again, maybe even the whole thread (it's only two pages after all) - he says it's not tested with JP3 and that it's not automated for it either...

Oh, and while I'm being facetious, you may as well learn to use the "Edit" button rather than double post ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] BlazerRazor:
Sorry about the double post.

If you read through the thread you will find out that the OP replied to a guy who apparently wanted to get it working on JP3. Therefore I also asked the OP how he made it or if work for JP3. He has not replied to that, so I suspect he is only using the "flashing update.zip" method - which will not work with JP3. So, I did read the OP, you just misunderstood the problem :)
