[Droid X General] bignadad:
No.... Lame website had a typo.... It's for Motorola Droid, Not Droid X
[Droid X General] GarethD:
Ok, thats ghey!

Thanks for the heads up. At least I won't brick my phone!
[Droid X General] Breakthecycle2:
So wait...is this really not for the X?
[Droid X General] djdominus:
Correct. That is the manual update instructions and update file for the original Droid.
[Droid X General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
What a awful thing to do! :mad: How could someone be that stupid, I can understand doing it once, but THE WHOLE article says Droid X left and right. :mad:
[Droid X General] Zandog:
Chrome to Phone isn't exclusive to Froyo?

[Droid X General] derekm_:
My phone is stuck on the "Checking for available update. Please wait..." screen whereas yesterday it would say "no update found" instantly.

Exciting.....
[Droid X General] tx3kgtman:
That's because all droid x owners are pecking the "check for update" button hoping for a surprise. Lmao
[Droid X General] bignadad:
PSA: First Android 2.2 Froyo leak for the Droid X is a hoax
[Droid X General] Zaphod-Beeblebrox:
Big makes the front page of XDA and it turns out to be a hoax :)

Just pickin' at ya Big.
[Droid X General] bignadad:
That is something.... Can't believe that made Front Page???

When i was creating My MaxSense Themes (which got a lot of attention) I tried and tried to get on front page and never could... but i make it on a silly post like this.... crazy crazy :confused:
[Droid X General] tgtoys:
A friend of mine works for Motorola and gets a lot of the new products to test software, I saw him last week and he had the Droid X running Froyo with some new Moto software cooked in (similar to Blur). It was running pretty choppy, but that's most likely due to the moto software implementation still in the works. The device of course had the 'Classified property of Motorola' sticker on it.

I think I'm gonna see him again tomorrow, anything you guys want me to look at/check out? I have an HD2 running Android so I'm not really looking for anything on the X.
[Droid X General] jvward:
Get the encryption keys from ur friend!
[Droid X General] a4t:
Tgtoys just take a picture of the system software, like baseband, kernel etc...

Do a linpack and quadrant test to know hows the result dX on froyo :-)

Here is the actual message from Matt, the MOD that posted the message on Motorola support forums.. HERE is a Link to the post

This guy could be posting this for the hell of it, or he could no what he's talking about.... he seems to have some credibility because the news is spreading quickly just from that one post...
[Droid X General] RMHisCOOL:
A Verizon tech rep today told me the update was pushing now, but to a very small number of phones at a time. He has an X and I confirmed he wasn't confusing it with the Droid 1. Far from concrete, but interesting nonetheless .
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
That is exactly what i was told. Everyone shoots me down when i say that but i was told te exact same. Interesting to say the least as i asked if he had it confused with D1 and he even responded that he had the x and it hadn't been pushed to his either. I wish someone was saying something somewhere.

[Droid X General] bouchigo:
I wouldn't take to heart what VZW reps. say. I was told yesterday by a VZW rep. that the Froyo update will begin in batches next week. Just wait patiently and it will eventually come. Asking/speculating all the time when it is going to come is not going to make it come any faster.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] him121:
i have try flash Leedroid 1.7b, DeVillain and NexTSense

3 rom have the same problem that when i cilick on start record

it will hang and restart...

does anyone help?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
Have you got any history on this?? what ROM did you come from, have you done the Radio, then wiped to install the new ROMs etc etc
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] him121:
because i am the first time to try root descire and flash rom...

i just follow the instruction from some forum to do.

my flash rom step is:.

1.press vol-down and power to fastboot screen

2.select recovery

3.plug usb connect to PC

4.in CMD type "recovery-windows.bat"

5.wipe-->Wipe data/factory reset

6.vol-down back and select "Flash zip from sdcard"

7.select the rom i download

does anything wrong ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
So did it work origionally when you didnt have a rooted desire??
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] him121:
yes...it work fine before not rooted..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
ok, so what about when you first rooted, not when you installed other ROMs just that Bravo-update.zip to acheive root, did it work then?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] him121:
yes, i have flash back to Bravo-update.zip, running android 2.1 now, it work....

so..any problems about this case?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
It must be something to do with one (or all) of those ROMs, i cant say ive had an issue like this but best bet is to go into the Andriod Development section and find the thread on a particular ROM and then ask the question in that thread
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] him121:
finally, i got the solution, i need update my radio rom that make the camara can record 720p:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanTehManUK:
Bish Bash Bosh!

Nice work mate, enjoy the 720p!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myevorocks:

galaxy s with digital tv

In this video in the middle you see the digital tv

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] FadeFx:
this would require a dvb-t or dvb-h tuner plus antenna, so i dont think flashing this firmware would help anything.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tzi1983:
Samsung should have aplied that tuner to every phone, i will not watch TV at the cellphone, but is frustrating that i bought mine already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kkrammer:
it will have a SBTVD (also called ISDB-T) receiver, as is said here: http://blog.jaldomir.com.br/noticias/260-samsung-galaxy-s-finalmente-entre-nos

There is a multiformat decoder on the market, but its from Analog Devices. I doubt that Samsung uses this third party chipset but will use its own as they are specialized in ISDB-T. So i guess this handset will not decode DVB-H and will only be usable in South America and the Philippines.

I also guess they do this because TV usage is much higher in e.g. Brasil than anywhere in Europe. DVB-H was launched to much fanfare a couple of years ago but nobody uses it. Does any newly released handset have it any more? Some carriers offer streaming TV programs over their data network but there is just no demand for it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GXFX:
Check Brazilian Gizmodo blog version.

It is true . Galaxy S at Brazil + digital tv .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nCoder:
Isn't this the most amazing phone series we've ever seen?

It's a pity that we don't have an equivalent model here in Europe - It would be awesome to watch TV everywhere (even if I had to pay extra 100Eur) - it would really be a ALL-IN-ONE device.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] [[ Cold ]]:
oh envy ... in envy you Brazilian neighbors!

as minhas saudações da Colômbia

wont buy another one though... i'm still keeping my i9000 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] GXFX:
Gizmodo BR Galaxy S

haha.

I already have my International Version of i9000 and i won´t buy another one too.

Why ?

Because unlocked , it cost about US$1200,00 here . It´s REALLY expensive hehe.

I bought mine for US$599,00 (:

I dont know exacty why but there are not alot phones with dvbt. I think it has something to do with taxes. Its a bitty.

m.tvcatchup.com works fine for me if I were to ever use my phone as a TV.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sérgio Luís:
I bought mine at Amazon for U$ 588,00 and won´t buy another version here in Brazil either.

Is there something special with brazilian firmware, such as Brazilian language instead of Portugal language ? I´m using English, because Portugal language has some bad translation.

Which is the latest firmware for the I9000XXJF3 version ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jonidroid:
Why samsung did not add tv tuner to all I9000 models ? would be awesome to watch tv with phone while being on train etc
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Intratech:
Puta madre!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] BA_Flash_GOD:
Yoz

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't it up to the cell providers to choose which features will be on the device? Like Sprint maybe paying extra for the epic features and such, and ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sérgio Luís:
Is it a matter of just adding an antenna and changing the firmware or need any additional hardware ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scrizz:
lame....

why do we get the lamest version of the phone....
[Desire General] hareshta:
My HTC Desire keeps going off everyday. It happens while browsing or during a phone call too. The screen goes blank. The power button also does not work to restart the phone. Then, I have to remove the battery and restart it. Is there any problem or bug? Can I restart the phone in any other way? I read about factory (hard) reset, but I will lose all my settings then. Will hard reset delete my contacts list too?

Also, it frequently shows an SD card error, which goes away if I restart the phone again. I've formatted the card several times.

I don't have too many apps installed and a have 4 GB sd card with about 2 GB of mp3 files only.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dyonas:
I'm using CM6 RC2 and despite some issues with 3G (or lack of) and 2G connectivity it has been running ok for the most part. However, I wanted to try another FroYo ROM out to see if any offer me better 3G performance. I have a ROM backup already but in case another ROM gives better performance I installed, or tried to install, MyBackup Pro from the Market. I paid for it ages ago so there's no issue with payment or an illegal program being broken. Unfortunately something went wrong during the download possibly related to the lack of 3G connectivity I've been experiencing.

Basically the download is stuck at the downloading state but it never downloads, fails to download, or installs leaving it in an eternal "downloading" state. If I tap the program name then try to cancel the download I get a force close with process.com.android.vending and soon after the Market reloads with the MyBackup Pro download still listed as downloading.

Things I've tried to rectify it so far...

ADB to remove the Vending.apk file then pushing the same program from the CM6 ROM.

Reflash the latest Google Apps package supplied with CM6.

Wipe dalvik cache and cache.

Reflash CM6 RC2 and then the latest Google Apps.

Nothing has worked so far. Possibly related I get a crash if I try to view the "Battery Status" under "About Phone" but that's only started the past few days. If anyone has any thoughts on how to fix it aside from doing a factory wipe and reinstalling I'd love to see them. If I have to wipe and reflash then I would want to backup and that leads me to being stuck without knowing another decent backup program.
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
SetCPU 2.0.2 now has perflock disabler support for HTC-kernel 2.6.32.15 which is needed to underclock the CPU because HTC don't want us to mess with the CPU clockspeed on stock kernel. This feature is fine and I use it with JuiceDefender to lock my device to 245 MHz on standby to get slightly more juice. The only drawback is that SetCPU doesn't allow to disable perflock automatically on boot. I found it annoying to disable perflock everytime I reboot, therefore I checked out how SetCPU disables perflock. SetCPU comes with a kernel module that disables the perflock when loaded (it seems to hook into the perflock_notifier_call of the perflock module and resets the settings). I managed to load this module on startup of the device so I can use it with JuiceDefender even without SetCPU installed or enabling it after every reboot. It works great...

SetCPU is a brilliant app like its author coolbho3000 (thank you!).

For this reason I don't post the kernel modules or an update.zip, but share this knowledge in a very loose howto.

So basically this is what to do:

1. Extract the kernel module perflock_disable3215.ko from SetCPU.

Use apktool or just unzip to extract it from the apk.

2. Hexedit the module to change the vermagic string.

The vermagic string have to match the kernel you use. Otherwise, it won't load.

Check the other modules for the correct vermagic.

3. In recovery mode push the module to /system/lib/modules

Maybe you should change the permissions to match the other modules.

4. Load the kernel module with insmod.

For the module to work you have to provide the perflock_notifier_call_addr parameter.

You can get it from /proc/kallsyms. It's a mermory address something like "c443223". Load the kernel module like this:

insmod /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable3215.ko perflock_notifier_call_addr=0xc443223

5. Check if kernel module is loaded.

If insmod doesn't report any errors, check with lsmod if the module is loaded.

If insmod reports errors, you most likely messed up the module while changing the vermagic.

6. Check if perflock is disabled in SetCPU.

If the module is working you should be able to underclock the CPU in SetCPU.

7. Hack a init script to load the module on boot.

The script should rgep the perflock_notifier_call_addr and load module with the correct parameter.

That's it!

If it works for you, buy SetCPU on market!

have fun...
[Desire Android Development] BlackWhiteOne:
Fantastic,

but a little bit more complicated.
[Desire Android Development] copas2:
I think you definitely should attach update.zip. But still useful information.

Edit:

Sorry, LeeDroid's mod already has this module. Hypothetically you don't have to change anything regarding that module.
[Desire Android Development] ranwej:
Here is update zip for STOCK ROOTED FROYO ROM. This update will flash modified boot.img (it is necessary, because stock rom at default doesn't execute scripts from /init.d folder during boot..)
[Desire Android Development] robto:
Hi,

Anyone who did the update zip for Eclair could upload, please? Would really apreciate.
[Desire Android Development] playya:
Has anyone used the update.zip that can confirm it works
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
There are custom kernel for the Desire Eclair ROMs that aren't perflocked. On what ROMs / devices are you guys?
[Desire Android Development] Psych0Chimp:
Ignore....
[Desire Android Development] KiaOrana:
Hey all,

That procedure seems way too complicated for me :o

So far, I was using pinky's rom which comes with permanent perflock disabled. I just switched to LeeDroid's rom which doesn't seem to have this feature.

Would there be an easy way to have this done? (like flashing a zip?)

Cheers

[Desire Android Development] mmaacc:
What's exactly in that boot.img? Could you please post some kind of release notes? I don't like (nor should anyone flash) unknown binaries. Thanks :)
[Desire Android Development] Psych0Chimp:
Will this work on a stock Froyo (ie HTC) rooted ROM?

EDIT: Did a nandroid and flashed it. Doesn't seem to work... Maybe the stock ROM isn't running the init script as mentioned previously?

HTC Legend with rooted Eclair 2.05.405.2, kernel version 2.6.29-5f084974.
[Desire Android Development] playya:
yes I am just looking for the same to use with the stock HTC kernel ...its on my stock rooted 2.2 Froyo
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
Have you tried the update zip from post 4?
[Desire Android Development] FloHimself:
This is the .29 kernel and needs the other module from SetCPU...
[Desire Android Development] BlaY0:
perflock_disable is now under GPL and source is available upon request...
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
All kernel modules are automatically under the GPL if they are distributed. It's a legal requirement.
[Desire Android Development] iscaela:
New perflock_disable update.zip for 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527

New signed update.zip to disable perflock for the stock 2.6.32.15-gf9c0527 kernel image:

Mirror: trisk.acm.jhu.edu/perflock_disable-2.6.32.15-gf9c0527-20100831.zip

I updated the init script to handle errors:

#!/system/bin/sh
#
# Load perflock_disable for htc-kernel
addr=`awk '$3 == "perflock_notifier_call" { print "0x"$1; }' /proc/kallsyms`
if [ -n "$addr" ]; then
insmod /system/lib/modules/perflock_disable3215.ko "perflock_notifier_call_addr=$addr"
if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then
echo "+++ perflock disabled"
exit 0
fi
fi
echo "+++ perflock could not be disabled"

I'll try to obtain the source for perlock_disable, since the author has offered (and is required to) to provide it on request.
[Desire Android Development] BlaY0:
Really? Since when? Why then ATI and nVIDIA offer their parts of modules under proprietary licence?
[Desire Android Development] teppic74:
The kernel modules are released as source code and under the GPL. Any code that links into the kernel (i.e. all modules) have to be released under the GPL or they cannot legally be distributed.
[Desire Android Development] iscaela:
The proprietary video drivers have a MIT or BSD (i.e. open source, GPL compatible) licenced shim or abstraction layer between the binary components (some of which are shared between OSes) and the actual Linux kernel interfaces, this intermediary is intended to make it unlikely for them to be considered derivative works of Linux, to avoid being governed by the GPLv2 as derivative works.

They are always installed separately by Linux distributions, as the act of linking them into the kernel produces an image that cannot be redistributed. Linux produces a licence "taint" warning when you load the drivers for this reason.
[Desire Android Development] BlaY0:
Well that's not entirely true. Kernel module can consist of proprietary closed source library, which is then wrapped by GPL wrapper (to be able to compile it for different versions of kernel). There are several such modules from different vendors on the market. HP for instance has several drivers (modules) for their proprietary stuff that are available only as binaries for certain kernel versions. You can't even compile them for your own version.
