[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepinmyworld:
Thanks a lot. And u right. I'm about to unroot and wait for 2.2 because these developers know there are new people to this and it wouldnt hurt to go into a little more detail. I used Amonras Recovery method on my nexus and didn't have to go through all this download moad stuff and Odin etc. Its not that easy when people get annoyed by questions lol but thanks a lot though.

Search ADB for dummies on the forum, there are a few threads that will be very helpful. They'll give you a general idea of what you're doing with ADB. Sorry, but we're not here to spoon feed you. If you want to mod the phone, learn how to do it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepinmyworld:
this is exactly why people are discouraged and lost because of comments like this. :mad: thanks anyhow. im not going to worry about it right now because clearly people are too lazy to help. I just said there's a thousand forums and it's not easy to single out which ones are the right ones. Please get a senior member or someone to delete this thread. No need for it now. I'll wait for 2.2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tissimo:
If you're to lazy to do a simple search and learn how to set up adb and how to in put in simple provided commands then you're a lost cause. Sorry to be so blunt, don't cry to hard about it.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepinmyworld:
be gone. i don't even know why you are still in here and not helping. let alone talking to me. what's your point? ignorant peeps on here.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttabbal:
To be fair, this is the development forum. It's for developers to talk to other developers. We are generally willing to help people out, but do try to make sure you know the basics as much of what we do here is very experimental, and it may well not work right for everyone. As such, it's not really for general consumption. When we think our stuff is ready, we will make a thread in the general forum.

As for partitioning, just copy avatar somewhere else first. Or get a new card to experiment with. They are cheap and the stock one is small and slow.

Note that the comments thing is a double edged sword, we have lost developers to posts like yours. Keep in mind that people are giving their free time to give the community these roms, hacks, and apps, for free. They don't owe you or anyone else anything.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stepinmyworld:
Yeah thanks. But if I'm a donator to people making these roms, how are we not owed anything? I do donate and I know the basics. I have everything installed but I am missing a simply command in which someone could provide for me if the knew. But this is my past post. Dont want to take up any more space. I understand this is the dev section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimphishmonger:
As I stated earlier, we are not telling you how to do it EXACTLY because we do not recommend this for you. You are free to go research and do it anyways, but you've been warned. There will be builds out soon that make everything much easier, but until then, I recommend waiting...

Just a clarification....donations are made to devs (and anyone) without any consideration of something in return.

for example, I sent a donation to @wesgarner the moment he started considering working on CM6 for the vibrant. I am not "owed" anything from him, and he can use the donation as he wishes, although I hope he used it towards something android related.

There is a huge difference between what you said regarding donations, and how I put it. I'm sure some developers get annoyed when people expect things after donating. Its not a purchase, its a donation to a cause
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DAKIDD236:
Did you guys know that NO FLAMING is an XDA rule??

@OP First you should make sure you've installed the android sdk properly by visiting developers.android.com

Before you write any command in a CMD window you should specify where your android sdk is by writing

> cd C:\android-sdk_r06-windows\android-sdk-windows\tools (just using this SDK as an example, you may be using the 2.1 SDK)

You can also read up on ADB by visiting this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=502010
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttabbal:
While you are of course welcome to disagree, I thought the thread had been quite civil. I'm out though, the op said they want to wait a bit.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anomalous3:
This might come in handy:

http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

The thing most people miss is they don't add the path to the sdk so the adb command only works from the tools directory. To make it work everywhere, you need to: Right-click on My Computer, and select Properties. Under the Advanced tab, hit the Environment Variables button, and in the dialog that comes up, double-click on Path (under System Variables). At the end of the PATH, make sure there is a semicolon separating the last entry from the one you are about to type, which will be the location of the android sdk tools directory (for me it's C:\android-sdk-windows\tools). Once that's in your PATH, click ok, ok, then apply, reboot and you can

adb shell

from any directory. Of course, anyone without at least a little experience with command-line interfaces will be at a disadvantage; there's definitely a learning curve.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youneek:
Ok, here is my super quick summary but you would get better help in the general forum. Most of the answers are here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728809

These are the instructions if you are in windows 7, it's probably the same for whatever version you're on.

If you have installed ADB correctly and the samsung drivers you should have the files located somewhere like C:\android-sdk-windows. You should also have usb debugging enabled on the phone (settings->applications->development) and the phone plugged in. Open the tools folder since that's where the ADB executable is. In that folder hold down shift and right click on a white part of the screen between files. You should see "Open Command Window Here". If not, click the start button and select run. Type CMD and press enter. In the command prompt type "cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools" and press enter. Fill that in with whatever your path is. When you are in the correct folder you can now run adb commands in the command prompt. To test that your device is ready to work with ADB and everything is installed correctly just type "adb devices" and you should see some numbers and letters. If you don't see it list your device, something isn't setup correctly.

This is not a flame post, it's an explanation post.

The good people of these forums have been giving you resources to find your answers.

If you're going to step into this world, it requires a certain level of due diligence.

The thing is, they are helping you just like you asked, just not the way you expected. The name of the forum is Vibrant Android Development, not Vibrant Android Support.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXTC:
Was wondering is there a way to use our galaxy as a universal usb mass storage device, using default windows drivers?

I've tried it but I can't seem to connect my phone to the pc unless I install either the usb drivers (extracted from Kies) or install kies itself.

In ubuntu can just hook this up no problem why in windows doesn't it work? or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be great.

thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Subsubl:
Wich part of Android Development Forum you dont understand?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXTC:
why don't you can suggest me one or point me in the right direction or notify a mod instead of posting something that's not helpful and insulting?

and indicate why this would not go in development? yeah it can be in general but why can't it be in here explain the reason. This can be the initiation of someone developing a hack to allow to use our device in windows without INSTALLING the samsung drivers?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JimiJam:
You don't need to install any samsung anything.

Settings -> About Phone -> USB Settings: Ensure "Ask on connection" is selected.

Plug in USB cable, connect to PC.

Select "Mass storage" on the menu. Your device is now connected and charging, but you don't have access to the data yet.

Now drag down the notification bar from the top of the screen. It says "Ongoing: USB connected. Select to copy files to/from your computer". Press that. Press "Mount".

Your Internal SD and external SD now mount on your PC and appear as drives.

gl :)

Edit: If that doesn't work for you then there's something wrong. I haven't installed Kies on any machine I've connected the SGS to. It may be that you require Admin rights to install the usb drivers that are sent over as the device attempts to mount (not sure).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXTC:
hmm that's weird. My machine says it doesn't recognize it when I do that. And all the machines I use I have to install the drivers for it to work even though I always use "use as mass storage"

hmmm I better do more investigation then.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXTC:
just tried this on a winxp machine without any driver/kies installed and yeah can't get to the sd card. It has an exclaimation mark next to the Usb mass storage device in device manager and there an "unknown" device detected in the "other devices" section of device manager....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenkiller:
Try the always ask option. Sometimes the use mass storage as default choice is a tad cranky.

If not, try on another usb port with another microusb cable. I've tried on 3 pcs/laptops and all 3 times no drivers were needed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert_tlse:
You also have to pull down the notifcation menu of the phone (once connected) and click the usb symbol and then choose "mount" (yeah, kinda sucks)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chluk2425:
the drive that it installs when you connect your device to your PC with selecting USB Mass Storage is a normal USB driver, like when you plug in a normal memory stick...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Basileus_AU:
Check your usb port or cable and try other ones
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ancient_One:
Or install Kies then uninstall it.

It will leave the Samsung USB drivers installed as they are in a seperate folder.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoXTC:
really weird could it be a winxp problem?

At work usb mass storage doesn't work UNTIL I install the samsung drivers. At home tested on a win 7 machine without installing any drivers and it works.

Would front usb port be different to teh back usb port? It's just that front usb port doesn't work if I don't install drivers, after install drivers works fine.

hmm I should test the back usb port. It's pissing me off how I can't use usb mass storage at work until I install the drivers :( (or would it be a windows update issue how windows don't have latest usb drivers?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chluk2425:
both win7 and xp require to install that usb driver unless you've plugged it in before... you definitely don't have to install the samsung drivers before you use the Mass storage function as my office computer (XP) is not allowed to install any other driver/software apart from normal USB mass storage driver in which it's pre-installed in your PC when you install the OS...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] phunkytown:
i Cant get the Tmobile myfaves tutorial video to stop playing on the phone... dont know whats wrong it just keeps popping up every few mins... anyway i can turn this off...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Virus1x:
ok this is an easy fix but 2 things to this..

#1 that video is only for FLOOR MODELS.. so you either got a stolen phone or a floor model

#2 goto applications.. find mytouch demo, force stop.

it will start up again after you reboot/turn phone off you'll have to do it all over again..

i suggest you root it and flash to eugene's mrslide final or myroot 4

I had this same problem..

good way to detect if it was stolen, when you press on either side of the battery door where you hold it in your palm it squeeks they ripped it outta the display

Paid 180 + my fked up BlackBerry 8520f or it..

sooo yeah i knew it was stolen when i took it to a ROOTER and he said its not a STOCK applications for fresh outta box
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fenixnr:
Really? Battery case squeaking means its stolen? My phone is less than 2 months old and has done this from day one, got it brand new in the box. Ignorance in your post as a "att tech" please continue to post only on what you know to be true. But yes he could have gotten a floor model, or one that was destin for it but they grabbed the wrong box.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Virus1x:
I'm not reffering to the normal Squeak I'm refering to a LOUD ass squeek as if someone pulled it off almost the to point that the battery case seems to not the fit phone at all..

Please keep your flaming rude posts to a minimum and consider the fact that what one person may be posting isn't always what you are thinking.. they are talking about
[myTouch 3G Slide General] atlp99:
Video = floor model

The demo video is only for floor demo models, so it could be stolen but the first batch of store demo's shipped to stores were not labeled demo like normal. Because of this, it is possible for a demo to have been legitimately sold if the rep did not boot up the phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
Can't think of a more scientifically sound way to figure out if something is stolen.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] falken98:
You really shouldn't admit to receiving stolen property on an internet forum, especially when you have posted more than enough information for someone with 5 min. of spare time to know exactly who you are IRL.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
Hey Everyone

Wasn't really sure where this post should go since it's not really dev or hacking related but it didn't really seem to fit in any of the other subforums either :-(

I was wondering what everyone's take on the future of smart phone processors is, I mean what seems to be a better road to travel: multi-core cpus or faster and faster cpus?

I ask because we already have 1ghz phones and motorola is talking about a 2ghz phone by years end and then there are the dual core chips that have been rumored to be circulating from qualcom.

How beneficial would multi-core chips be in reality on a phone? I could see maybe having the phone os running on one core and then all apps operating on a second core but I doubt that is the way things would get implemented.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steve.h:
Considering that adding cores is the way that PC chips overcame physical limitations in clock speed, I think that's the way it's going to go. Phones can't run nearly as hot as PCs and still be considered to run within acceptable levels, so I'd say having a multitude of relatively slow cores would be beneficial (most Android apps are multithreaded anyway, so they can already take advantage of multiple cores).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
I was just wondering if I should make the leap for a ghz phone this year or hold out for the first multi-core phones next year.

How are most Android apps threaded?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] steve.h:
Android apps, like pretty much any GUI app, have a UI thread and however many worker threads you need (especially if you're reading network/file data). Any time you see the ProgressDialog, threads are running around doing their thing.

Invariably you will always purchase a phone immediately before it becomes obsolete, so what's the use of waiting? If you stand to gain from a 1GHz phone, just go for it. The next time you upgrade there will be multi-core processors, and if not, the processor might run so hot you have an app that actually can make coffee for you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ¿GotJazz?:
IMHO - I'd rather have better battery life than multiple CPUs.

While more speed is nice, a realistic battery life is essential.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] /rant/:
I'd rather have both. Nowadays, realistic battery life is somewhere in between 16-24 hours with normal to heavy use. I can do that now. 16 and more hours is very good, as long as you don't live in the jungle with no sockets.

And while it will be difficult to achieve such battery life with more cores, I think that a well designed SoC can do it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jahnile:
very interesting topic for discussion, my thing is what are we gonna do with a dual core Cpu in a smart ph. I mean if you can give me a high end ph with a single core processor with above average battery life I would take that over say a dual core processor with below average or just average battery life.

It all comes down to what one is willing to sacrifice for power and speed...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daveob:
faster, no.

more cores, no.

lower power, yes.

dedicated mobile gpu, HELL YESS!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] daveob:
what is.................
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Col.Kernel:
Multi core all the way!!!

More power!

I'll probably get a 10" tablet for my next phone anyway, and do all my talking by earpiece.

As for battery life, we do not need gimped hardware. What we need is for phone manufacturers to get over the fixation on smaller, lighter phones. The Vibrant is so thin I can hardly pick it up without touching the screen SOMEWHERE.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] KOYHOY:
ph-one... like phone maybe?

And I agree about the waiting game. There is almost no point in waiting for anything because it will most certainly be outdone within months. For me a reasonable "wait" would be under a month from when I choose to change my phone. (Come on Epic...)

I believe multi-core will eventually catch on, just like in pc's, but now I'm mainly focused on the success of a good combo of cpu/gpu. (Come on Epic...)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
I am up for renewal in Nov. I am on Sprint so it is shaping up to be a decision between EVO and Epic. I don't care for slide out keyboards but I am leaning towards Epic.

It just seems like this generation of phones is already obsolete (with the rumored 2ghz motorola and possibly dual core ultimate tmobile phone) and they are just starting to come out.

What I really need is a keyboard that doesn't lag lol
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
16-24hrs with normal to heavy use...what phone are you using? I am on a htc hero and if lucky can get maybe 14hrs on with 3 to 4hrs of use :-( and that is with light txting and twitter reading.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] manonbr:
With heavy browsing/texting all day at my 9-5, and plenty of use at night, I unplug from the charger at 6AM and by the time I get home around 6 I'm usually at ~ 50% battery with the aforementioned heavy usage. I'm running the Darchdroid rom. before I rooted etc I was getting like 6 hours with heavy use, it's insane what the roms can do. Try it if you haven't yet! :)

I'll be happy with my Hero for awhile as far as a phone goes, but I'm really interested to see what the tablets coming out this fall have to offer, speed-wise.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Mithent:
I was thinking that the Galaxy S series is an ideal candidate for some kind of extended battery. It's already so thin and light, it wouldn't hurt to add more weight and a bit of depth, and since the back cover is one plastic piece, that could be replaced with one accommodating a larger battery without producing odd bulges.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
I am using Alyosius 2.1.2. It combines both sense and asop. I like sense and I need the asop contacts app to limit which contact groups are displayed in both contacts and people. I also have a really hard time with any oc kernel :-( I think I tired the new uv/oc kernel and never was able to get past the boot screen :-(

I have been thinking about doing doing another backup and trying it again to see what happens.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
Hopefully there will be larger replacement batteries and accompanying faceplates for the galaxy s. Someone wrote that it is easy to find after market battery and faceplates for htc phones but I haven't really found any in particular for my hero.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ws.itguy:
I see them going with more cores. Android is made for multicores. The higher the clock speed goes up, the more energy used and wasted as heat. Thats why desktop CPU's have moved on to adding cores rather than increasing clock speeds. Battery technology also has MUCH room for improvement. As do core efficiency's. However our need for more speed and processing power is only going to continue to increase. I think Android 3.0 is going to really put the underutilized GPU to work to offload much of that GUI from the cpu(s). And GPU's are all about multithreading (basically) too.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dsMA:
What makes you think 3.0 is going to utilize the gpu for general purpose processing?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lochindaal:
The main advantage of an embedded multi core solution is for lower power not higher speed. The multi cores split tasks and all run slower to achieve things within the same timeframe.

Don't think about PC's as a comparison the silicon manufacturers aren't thinking this way.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gedster314:
Is there a setting in Andorid to make the touch pressure more sensitive. I recall do registry edits in WinMo that accomplished this. The screen in Android just seem to require more pressure then what I remember having WinMo set to.

It also could be that I'm just use to capacitive screens.
