Alright. Much like a iPhone 3G/3GS, there's some sticky tape involved. Rather than splitting the glass from the LCD, you'll be pulling all glass, digitizer and lcd out. One tool I recommend for splitting the glue tape, a guitar pick. They actually send those with some of the iPhone screen kits. And grab your spouses hair dryer...

First off, thanks iLoki for the instructions. Removing the back plastic I think was the hardest. Just out of raw fear you'll snap the final upper clip. It pops when you remove it but don't waste a good panic when you hear the sound.

On the final steps of iLoki's instructions, you remove the ribbon cable under the blue tape to remove the speaker assembly. You can skip this step. Just pull the one screw that holds the assembly to the chassis. you can remove the mainboard and speaker in one piece. After that, pull what I assumed is the radio assembly on the bottom of the chassis to avoid snagging anything. It pulls right out after you disconnect the white antenna cable.

When the mainboards out, it's time to unglue. I used a hair dryer rather than a heat gun this time. It worked fine. I used low fan, high heat for about 60 seconds on each side I was working with. Use the guitar pick to start separating the screen from the chassis. You'll see the black tape that runs around the chassis in the picture. Don't worry about destroying that black seal tape. It comes with the screen. I did one side and worked the bottom, top and then the final side. If the glue is stubborn, try some more heat. Use common sense with that.

Once the screens separated, pull the black tape from the chassis. Be careful around the 4 bottom buttons. There's a silver metallic ribbon cable underneath. You'll see it in my picture with the tape rolled back.

The new screen came with 2 seperate sticky tape pieces on the screen. One for the perimeter and one for the main part of the screen. Peel them off and align it for install. Make sure the ribbon cable for the screen goes through the slot on the chassis. To get the screen "squared" up for adhesion, I used the speaker grill for alignment. AKA, start at the top, and lay it down top to bottom.

That's about it. Let me know if you have any questions. I'm around Atlanta so if I can ever help in person, let me know!
[Captivate General] hallfleming:
The screen is a OEM Samsung screen. Logo's and everything. The logo's are under the protective sticker on the front that says "made in China". Scared me at first... :D
[Captivate General] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
Does it have the Death Star symbol and "at&t" at the top?
[Captivate General] hallfleming:
Yep! Just for you... :(
[Captivate General] fly2dm00n:
OMG yall are some brave souls, lol.
[Captivate General] ranova:
so did your wife or kid break your screen? Title and OP conflict :/
[Captivate General] james.roddy:
Just ordered my screen

and I will be attempting this same "operation" myself in 5-12 days when the screen arrives... during a routine "check out how cool my gorilla-glass is" demonstration my amoled screen under the gorilla glass broke... yes, I am probably not the smartest person in the world.

Anyways, $73 later I will be getting my replacement screen from globaldirectparts.com - I'll let you guys know how it goes.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
In all of your demonstration, did you develop a scratch, or did the screen just break?

Cuz if its just the screen breaking, I'll probably remove my screen protector.
[Captivate General] migsims:
man this might be worth ordering as a just in case at that price. can't believe the super amoled is that cheap considering the whole hoopla about how much they cost to make. Thanks for the link!
[Captivate General] Señor Sad Sac:
Just bought my captivate for 50 bucks from a guy who cracked the LCD. Replacement parts are on the way. Does anyone have anymore pictures or maybe a disassembly video? Thanks
[Captivate General] james.roddy:
I hit and attempted to scratch the screen with a set of keys for my demonstration. the gorilla glass does not even show a scratch it was just the super amoled screen that cracked. I'm sure the only reason it cracked too is because some idiot purposely was hitting it... I won't use screen protectors on mine. I don't think they are necessary with gorilla glass and they are uncomfortable to me.

The project went well enough. I got the new screen today and with the guide in this post and a heat gun it was a fairly painless process. This is especially considering I have never done any kind of maintenance on phones or computers before this. You have to start somewhere I guess.
[Captivate General] MrSmileyJr:
I dropped mine from 4 feet. Landed glass side up. AMOLED on inside cracked, glass is flawless. (I also had a screen protector).

I've dropped it many times, but this time it cracked nicely down the middle. So gorilla glass may be great, but it doesnt prevent internal cracking :-(

Seem price on replacement screens has gone up by $10.

I'm wondering btw, would a case have helped in my situation where it landed flat on its back?
[Captivate General] rdozier52:
hey what is the link for the place in texas. i cracked the screen on my vibrant
[Captivate General] bigsmitty64:
Beware,

I've done the "key" demo quite a few times myself, hard too! Not a scratch to be found. But one day I had my phone in one hand, keys in the other, inside the pouch of my hoodie, just shootin the breeze playing pocket pool with 'em. I pulled my phone out to look at something and DAYEM! Big ol scratch on the screen. I was pissed!

I haven't shown anyone the ol key demo since. (Nor have I bought a screen protector) :) I hate them.

[Captivate General] AReynante:
I dropped mine today, somehow landed flat on its "back", from about 2-3 feet, and nothing cracked, still runs and looks perfect, and I'm using the Body Glove case that AT&T offers at their store. I would never go without case/screen protector, but I'm just overly cautious about my electronics.

Im not sure if this has been answered yet but im getting so frustrated i would rather get smacked on the hand and get my answer lol.....

So I installed the new Fresh ROM. Works well, but for some reason every time i download from the market, as soon as it switches from downloading to installing. it restarts to the "Fresh Evo" screen. Someone help me before I do some facerolls across my keyboard. Lol Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sablesurfer:
I see these tips about signing in and signing out to make sure it doesn't try...but when I go into Apps and tap on Talk.....all it has ever done is time out.

"Could not connect to server. Will retry shortly."

Never used it and never could sign it...I just want it to stop showing up as a running app.

I can use market, I can use gmail, I can log into google.....but Talk will not load.

Anyone else? Any thoughts?

Does anyone know where or if there is a list of Flashable splash screens. I've been searching and so far the only one I found is the white on black from calkulins Rom post. Thanks calkulin by the way.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
You're kidding, right? There's a thread actually stickied to the top of the themes and apps section listing and linking to a ton of them. The name of the thread is "custom boot animations and splash screens" for pete's sake.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evohog:
They're not Flashable so don't be a sharass. Boot screen yes splash no.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Hey, I'm no sharass! But it does look like only the animations are flashable zips. Still, I think you might have more luck posting in that thread than here.

Please stop posting this. Not only have you posted it at least 3 times, it isn't going to work. You couldn't have rooted with this method unless you have already flashed the engineering rom.

He has been reported to cyberpolice, and if he posts it again consequences will never be the same! :eek: :D
[myTouch 3G Slide General] 2Noob4U:
Sorry I ruined everything

It's really great to have you guys helping me out. I thought I might help someone else with what I found.

1. Yes it did finally root and it worked flawlessly first time. I spent several hours of wasted life trying the loop command that never worked. This requires no loop in ADB. So I was very happy to share my knowledge.

2. If you check my thread I started a month ago I got a bunch of grief because I was asking legitimate questions that others were having a problem with as well.

3. The threads I posted was to help others like me who couldn't root their phones. It's not like I'm trying to ruin the XDA site for you. I come here because I get info that helpful people share with me and try to return the favor.

I wasn't born with a computer attached and maybe you guys were. Likely though you had to learn like the rest of us from other people being nice enough to share their knowledge.

Maybe I should've posted this link instead. Here!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
By default in AOSP, if you decline the incoming call, there won't be a missed call notification. In Sense, you get one on every missed call, even if you decline it. Is there any way to change the behavior in Sense to match AOSP? (Besides installing CM6 of course :D) I'm getting tired of clearing my missed call notifications all the time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datajosh:
So I guess there's no way to get around this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] halalmeat92:
Hey guys, I searched the forum and couldn't really find anything about this? Wondering if you guys know anything.

Is there an android app for aim that utilizes sms/texting instead of data? I know that the stock app uses texting, but that requires data to stay on and I don't have data.

I have a mytouch 3g (original, not the 1.2).

Help please :)
[myTouch 3G, Magic Apps and Games] auggie4000:
I am looking for this also. I have data and an unlimited sms plan. The IM programs that use data disconnect frequently and disconnect while on a phone call.

I am currently using AIM through SMS with the codes provided by AOL, although I would definitely rather have it in a nice tidy program.

Please let me know.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
So i just got out of a couple stores that had a working demo phone

I played around with it, and the only thing different between the Bell version and the i9000 version is the extra Bell Application for PVR everything else is stock just like the UK version, allshare, lanyard, etc, etc

It has the front facing camera, and the only difference is that it runs on 850/1900 instead of 900/1900 :D

on, and guess what? the best part is....

It is the 16GB version!!!!!!!!! 13.##GB of actual usable space after the 1.8GB partitioned for stock phone apps!!!

I was inside the mall, so there was no chance to test the GPS thing, but it had Navteq turn by turn, Google Map, and My location app installed, all started up and ran, but when trying to pick up the satellites which obviously it couldn't because I was in the lower floors of the mall.

It appears to have a new firmware, i was so exited playing around with it, and chatting so much, i forgot to memorize the firmware version it was on, but it was something like J5 or whatever.

I also wanted to confirm if it was unlocked or not, but both places didn't let me try my own SIM card in it, for obvious reason LOL :rolleyes:

Bad news is.... it's not going to be available Aug 6 as shown on the Bell website, most Bells places i asked they said next week, only a few selected store will actually have it on the release date, I've not yet been able to figure out which locations yet.

I tried to bribe the store clerk to sell me the demo unit, which was actually brand new, he took it out of the box wrapped in shrink wrap and everything, but he did not budge :p

All the people in the stores I've been to, they said they'll be getting their own as well which funny enough, all of them currently are on the iphone LOL :D

Darn it... time to list my Europe i9000 version on ebay ;)

Hopefully i can nail down which stores will have them on the launch day, I'll be the first in line :cool:

- Edit -

Additional info, the unit was made in Korea

- Edit 2: NEWs Update! -

Tomorrow Aug 6, only 1 store will have stock for the launch day, it's located at Yonge & Eglinton... boy that mall it's going to be super packed!

I hope no one is crazy enough to line up at 1 am in the morning (it's a work day after all)

There will be free prizes and chances to win other stuff.

This is like wow!, just like the launch day of StarCraft 2, pretty crazy stuff, the line up is going to be very very long.

The rest of the Bell stores will get some stocks next week, as already confirmed on my previous visit to several Bell stores yesterday.

keeping my finger crossed to see if i can pick up one tomorrow, it'll be nice to be able to pick up 3G underground, because right now only on 1900 some places i only get EDGE, due the missing 850 for 3G (running the international 9000 version)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sl8125:
Niceeeee...

Any way you can buy another unit and ship it my way. Send you the money in advance.

I know i going out of line here but i thought i give it a try. LOL. But seriously.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clubtech:
If it has different radio bands, i am sure the actual model number is different.

But otherwise, good news.

If anyone finds where to buy these unlocked, let us know.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
Does it have the 2100 band also?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
i paid around $700 for my 16gb i9000...... this makes me very, very sad....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Beowulf_pt:
Interesting. I wonder if you also get the schizophrenic bipolar GPS tracking performance too then. No one gets lost as well as the european. I saw an unbranded unlocked 580€ 16GB unit at a store here today. Not sure but you'd probably still need a paper map and 2€ compass even with all the storage space.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i wouldn't be that happy just yet, until some one can confirm if it can be unlocked, or if it is unlocked already as most other have found out from the USA versions.

if only i can find a store where they would let me try my Fido SIM :D then we'll know for sure
[Galaxy S I9000 General] lexcyn:
This is Bell we are talking about, of course it will be locked.

The real test is going to be trying to find a place that will issue an unlock code. So far I haven't been able to find one. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Kilack:
You see the samsung NZ website is listing the galaxy i9000 for nz as having

850/1900/2100 3g

http://nz.samsungmobile.com/mobile-phones/samsung-i9000-specification

(expand platform)

No idea when it is coming though, but all phones sold in nz are unlocked at least...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
ohhh nice find, it's worth keeping an eye on those too.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sareen:
if u check this out it has the same spec and its from the uk site :S

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
noooo you are getting confused with the other line.

pay attention to this section:

http://nz.samsungmobile.com/mobile-phones/samsung-i9000-specification

3G Band 850 / 1,900 / 2,100

http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/...dex.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=specification

3G Band	900 / 1900 / 2100

that's the difference, everything else is the same

if this is really unlocked from New Zealand, then i'll probably order one from there instead of from Bell, unless some one can confirm it's unlocked from Bell
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:

is 1.1 just an update or a full rom because i dont like flashing on top i would rather do a clean whip and flash so can i just flash the 1.1 by it self or do i need 1.0 base

you can do a full wipe if you want.

I restarted and still it didn't go to the EXT. I enable "application moving" as per the OP, but didn't change the location; after about 150 apps (with Titanium backup) it just started giving me that low on space error. Thought a2ext was automatic?
[G1 Android Development] Abhi_UK:
For some reason a2ext doesn't work for me on this rom. Wihtout wiping or formating my sd card I installed hero2g1 rom and a2ext worked fine straight sway without reboot but no luck with this rom.

Installed 100 apps and internal full on this with mtd patch. On sense rom no mtd patch and 55mb free after 100 apps installed.
[G1 Android Development] cazper210:
sweeet rom

hay this rom running smooth i havent had any force closes or nothing would like the battery to last longer any way to do that and how do the apps to sd work i have the partitions set up i just dont know how to get it started i know noob i never could get it to work :confused:
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
Please follow the options in the OP VERY carefully. Apps2Ext DOES work I promise
[G1 Android Development] quierotacobell:
Followed everything to the dot, still not working.
[G1 Android Development] Royalknight6190:
I really have no idea why its not working for so many people, i would say maybe a bad flash, or maybe something was changed from the first 1.3 to this 1.3. All I can say is Biff is coming out with a new release soon and hopefully maybe it will work for you guy then. Also if not on my days off I will look into it more and see what I can do. So far its working for me and the only issue I still have is with Gmapps it works every once and a while.

Yet again great rom Biff

Am i the only one missing the (alarm) clock app ?

Just wanted to set up my alarm clock for tomorrows dentist schedule - but found none^^
[G1 Android Development] ryaninc:
I'm sure it will be fixed in 1.4, but here's the APK for the Alarm Clock app. You can't install this, so either use adb to push it to your /system/app directory, or use a root explorer app to copy the file to /system/app. ;)
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
I pushed an updated 1.3 about 20 min after i realized it was missing. redownload and no wipe should fix :)
[G1 Android Development] infinitybiff:
version 1.4 is live. No wipe update. Changelog in the OP
