How to I flash an imagine in superuser through adb
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fiendHD:
Problem partially solved but still frustrating to have to nuke the current launcher to flash the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Jesse20James:
Hello,

I was wondering if a Dev was creating or looking into making a app over the HDMI to display everyith on your phone, not just when it is in video mode.

My thought was to someday be able to connect a bluetooth keyboard and mouse to the phone and play doom, quake w/e from my phone to the TV.

Any thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] dsMA:
These were my exact same thoughts, lets connect my phone to my tv and and bluetooth keyboard to the phone and have a big giant screen for txt messaging hahahahahaha Would also be really cool for watching SprintTV and the web.

Was really annoyed when I found out that the HDMI out had been crippled in the EVO. I hope this won't be the case for the EPIC.

Any ways, I too hope that someone can create a work around for this.
[Android Apps and Games] Andy7:
i dont believe that this could be done with an app but maybe god maybe manufacturers maybe CYANOGEN can help...

or the alternative if google (or anyone else) gives an API to develop apps...

if there were a browser, a better player(maybe rockplayer) and docs to go, things would have been better...
[Android Apps and Games] bradleyw801:
I am definately willing to donate to anyone that gets this working. It would make the phone so much more effective.

I used the Samsung Vibrant video out with a simple cable from radio shack and it mirrors the whole UI. Everything you do on the phone goes onto the TV. It isn't the most beautiful picture, and there is some frame lag, but it was still really nice. It would be even better over HDMI.

[Android Apps and Games] Jesse20James:
Nope still looking around and nothing yet. I know there's a dev raising money for a evo that already created an app for the nexus I believe......

This is definately dissapointing I would chip in for this as I travel a lot and would be great to use with my slingmobile and watching hockey games......

This has happened to me, however Format FAT32 is a fix, but I chose to just scandisk the card. Found a couple errors, and I deleted the temp files and fired up Haret. All is good again.

Long story short some errors on the card happen and a quick scandisk/chkdsk should fix them and Android should be happy again.

You can perform this on your computer or with any storage card tools in Windows Mobile prior to launching Haret.

Hope this helps some people...:)

SODs are caused by sd card errors?

i didnt realize that.. is it really only errors on sd cards that are the cause of SODs? or are there other underlying factors affecting SODs such as mayb speed class of SD cards?

im using the class 2 8gb which came with my hd2 and my phone gets SODs despite having the same setup as many people who are using the same android build as others who do not have SODs and have used android back-to-back for days without falling back to Winmo..

I'm no expert or anything but I use the 16 gig SD card that came with my HD2 and I've formatted it, I've tried every trick I know with the sd card ad I still get SODs, I'm going to keep looking for a fix here. I'll post back if I find one. Let me know if any of you do.

thankx,

I think every time we boot android the card is automatically checked for errors! I have seen it in the test that scrolls while android is booting!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shadowhacker27:
The problem is actually in the format of the SDCard (fat32) and the way files are organize when we transfer/save/backup files onto it. A scandisk plus a defragment will make a difference. I always do it when I transfer music files, take pics, make backups o just installed a new build. even the fsck finds non-contiguous files every time you boot android (pay close attention be4 the sound is loaded)

and you are right, the sdcard is checked for errors but not fixed. what the bootloader get "automatically fixed" is not the sdcard, but some files which might not be configured/located where they should. I recommend a scandisk and a defragment everytime you load a new build/change many files. u will notice the difference.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] somebully:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] fuzzysig:
according to some peeps at computer forums

you should NOT defrag a thumb drive or sd card, because its a different tpe of memory than hard drive and may cause some sideffects.

cna someone confirm that?

it doesn't make any sense, this two thing isn't related at all. hard drive type and defrag. data just fragments, no matter hdd type, format. so you need to defrag it.

Thank you for this tip. I had installed Modern Combat: Sandstorm and put a good amount of music on my phone, and after that I was getting SOD's fairly frequently.. I'm attempting this trick now to see if it has any positive effect. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] gumataotao:
I don't know if this will help anyone but it works great for me. In addition to repairing errors when I formatted my 16 gig class 2 that came with the phone I set cluster size to 64 and its always ran fast since with no sod. I don't see that much of a storage loss. Barely using 5 out of 16 gigs on the card with almost 3 gigs of music loaded.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jrip777:
I also don't know if this will help anyone but I used to get the SOD to happen ALL THE TIME. Sometimes I would get lucky for a couple hours but then they would happen sometimes every TWO minutes. I have 3 different SD cards. One stock 16gb, one class 4 8gb. and a spare 16gb. I tried everything I found here from switching to a faster card. reformatting. Using a higher cluster size. Nothing worked. Then I tried switching radio's from 2.08 to 2.12. PROBLEM 100% fixed. I havent had a SOD in over two weeks. Ive read that the radio is NOT a fix for this problem but for some reason it fixed it for me.

MY SOLUTION FOR SOD...

Hey all... I am new to this forum. I own a Galaxy Note GT N7000. I am using stock JB rom. I have been having SOD's since 3 months. Even wen i was on ICS. I have tried many custom roms, changed kernels, got my phone bricked n got a motherboard replacement under warranty. Guess what... SOD persisted. I was goin mad. I tried usin phone without external SD, overclocked my device to 500 Mhz.

And hell... SOD persisted. Have been through almost all forums regarding SODs.

What helped was... changing WIFI settings.

Go to... Settings... WiFi... Go to options menu.... click ADVANCED...

CHANGE... "KEEP WI-FI ON DURING SLEEP" option to "NEVER"

Bingo....

No SOD... since last 4 days.

Hope it helps. I know some ppl are havin SOD even without using WIFI.

But for those who r using WiFi, its worth giving a try.

[HD2 General] coolbeer1990:
Guys ! listen to this carefully -- i have been looking everywhere in the forums , people have been complaning about the HD2 ghost keyboard/wiggling icons / wiggling screens/ faulty responses/ faulty notepad !

Many people came up with solutions like reducing senstivity by making registry changes or by Bsb Tweaks !

in the thread [REF] *Leo Hints, Tips and Registry Tweaks* - Updated 13th July 2010.

tboy2000 has given some useful information about using the keyboard and reducing its senstivity !

29. Tips to Improve Typing Accuracy on Keyboard

Tap each key very lightly and watch the keyboard as you type each letter. Don't watch the suggested words that pop up. Type at a moderate pace. Don't rush. Try the Align Screen option in the Settings/System/Screen menu. Don't press hard. Press as light as physically possible - barely touching the screen and wait at each crosshair until it moves. If you are right handed, for the middle and two right most crosshairs use your right thumb and for the left two most crosshairs use your left thumb. If you were holding the phone with both hands and wanted to touch something on the extreme left of screen you would use your left thumb would you? Also, turn on Spell Correction in Touch Input options and turn off vibration for keys too!

Finally the following cab decreases the sensitivity on the keyboard allowing for less mistakes. Really works. A life saver.

http://rapidshare.com/files/30889673...hScreen_v2.cab (Cab to decrease sensitivity) or go here for cab http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=430

http://rapidshare.com/files/30827317...n_original.cab (Cab to restore default settings of keyboard)

But it does work for some ! and not for many others because this is a hardware fault - the touchscreen is faulty ! many of the intital hd2's were manufactured with the faulty touchscreen - as the result we got a messed up keyboard !

very useful info has been given by dontcryjustfly in his thread with all the errors demonstrated by videos --- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=595655

By checking out google ! youtube ! many other sites - the conclusion is the hardware fault which cannot be fixed by any soft mod or any other senstivity reducing software ! the touchscreen shows abnormality ! many of the intitial hd2 had this problem ..ie defective touchscreen...and some people say that that the screen is super sensitive! but that is wrong !

Best solution is to get the screen replaced under warranty and if its not under warranty search ebay or amazon for the hd2 digitizer and replace the screen yourself !

sorry for using so much space ! but many people are posting waste threads everyday regarding the keyboard and touchscreen ! i just wanted to post a thread to give the ANS and solution to the problem! please lock and pin this thread ! so that people dont ask about this problem again !

Ever since the 2.2 Update, the entire Messages app for me has been laggy.

Starting the Messages app from the home screen is SLOW, but switching from one conversation to another is terribly slow as well. For a few conversations, I do have 1000+ messages each.

But the kicker is that while I was on 2.1 (as shipped, never updated to 1.4x) I had no slowness and lag with opening the Messages app, and switching between various conversations.

Anyone else notice degradation in performance for this app? I will be setting up Purging to get the normal performance back, but I am lost as to why it's behaving this way post 2.2 update.

I second this. My evo is slow when texting but everything else is great.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalExpert:
My wifes evo is not rooted and fully stock. Her Messages application has been getting slower and slower as she texts more and more. I would imagine that the massive amounts of texts combined with multimedia messages are bogging down the phones memory. Trying to delete messages is not working either.

I've erased all messages on my evo and texting is fast as ever. So, the problem has to lie with the amount of data the phone has to sift through in the application.

If anyone has extra input please help.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HagbardCelineII:
So I have been stuck at 1.5 forever. I got the phone the first day it came out and rooted it as soon as it was available but got lazy about it after that and never messed with it.

So I finally decided to install Cyanogen Mod 6/2.2 for the phone and took the plunge. I followed the instructions and everything went well up until the flashing the new radio (2.22.23.02). It seemed to go fine until it prompted me for a reboot and first said installing, but now it's been stuck at Formatting CACHE:... for over 10 minutes.

I haven't touched anything and was hoping someone could let me know the proper course of action. I'm using Amon_Ra Recovery image BTW.

Also, I had already downloaded everything in anticipation of the 2.2 upgrade and the DangerSPL zip file is 0KB. I'm going out on a limb here and assuming that's incorrect.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
http://www.mediafire.com/file/mygwqxgmdz2te2j/haykuro_new_spl-signed.zip

there is danger SPL.. also is it at the recovery menu saying formattin cache, are you able to move the thru the menu using the track ball?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HagbardCelineII:
Yeah, I can move through the menu just fine. I just don't know what to select.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
Ok thats fine then Lol... your ok you can continue to do what you wanted to do...

once flash new radio it will want to reboot so reboot and it will isntall new radio and should go back to Recovery

let it do its thing once you are able to move around in recovery menu you can continue with the steps of flashing new rom..
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HagbardCelineII:
Oh, ok. Thanks. I just thought something was wrong because it was still flashing messages at the bottom like it was doing something until it got to that formatting cache, and I thought it would have automatically rebooted if it went correctly since I had already selected reboot.

Again, thank you.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilostchild:
Lol i love that whole mix up.. to clear things up...

Death/Danger/Haykuro are all but one in the same, jus different ppl use the name

If you ever notice they are all the same hboot which is 1.3.00 or something like that.. and those three names require the same method, flash new radio then the SPL... so those are the same jus different name

There is only 3/4 SPL

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ritalin:
I am aware that there are other ways to edit the fonts on our phone, by replacing renaming the default font. This is NOT what I would like to accomplish.

Since the Galaxy S is the first android phone to use Flipfont, I think we should take advantage of it. It gives us a nice preview of the font in the built in menu option and is thus superior to the other methods.

I originally purchased the Bauhaus font from the market and made a backup of it through ASTRO. After pulling the file from my phone and putting it on the computer I started editing the file with Apk Manager 4.8 found here

Steps preformed

Copied original apk into place-apk-here-for-modding folder

Run script.bat and choose option 9 ***this maybe where the issue is as I may need to choose option 10 and include the dependancy if there is one for the flipfont apk.

replace bauhaus.ttf with a .ttf font of my choosing

edit all XML, yml and smali files to include the font name or font.ttf depending on the entry in the original file *** I did not change any of the other coding so again this maybe where the problem is, as I may need to change something else to have the font act properly.

Edit the last folder name in the smali folder tree from bauhaus to the name of my font

Replace font with custom font and replace the preview image with my own

Compile apk

Sign apk

Rename apk

install apk on my phone

After putting the apk on my phone and installing the file it shows up as expected in settings>Sound and Display>Font style. The font thumbnail shows up properly as does the font preview. The preview does show up a little larger then the other fonts and may be a sign that the font is not optimized properly or that I missed something in the XML.

After applying the font and restarting, the phone is extremely slow and the font does not show up, it shows the default font instead.

If anyone that knows more about XML or apk editing/creation can help it would be great.

I have included the edited font apk if you would like to download it and run it through Apk Manager 4.8. If you want to try it with the bauhaus or one of the other fonts you will need to buy it from the market and back it up. (trying not to break any rules here.)

CAUTION THE FOLLOWING FILE IS NOT MEANT FOR USE AND WILL CAUSE YOUR PHONE TO RUN SLOW!!!

Download Font APK
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
here is my contribution to the fonts package. I find these to be usable fonts in the Vibrant Android system.

When you wrote the apk and after installing a font, how it had slowed down the system on you and didn't change the font, well did you try writing a different font into it? i ran into a couple of fonts that said were applied using typefresh, but when the phone rebooted, it was just slow, and had gone back to the default system font.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Well I have tried two different fonts so far, both .ttf and they both caused the system to slow down/hang when applied and restarted.

I will try some of the fonts you supplied and see if it makes a difference.

There must be something about certain fonts that causes the problem. I need to see if I can track that down as it will be important for writing the tutorial.

[EDIT][More info] Ok I took a closer look at the font that came with the Bauhaus akp

In the discription of the font it list:

OpenType Layout, Digitally Signed, TrueType Outlines

I know that opentype is a new format and that alot of the fonts for OpenType that I find are made by Monotype, the same people that make the fonts available for download. I think this may have something to do with it or maybe Im just grasping. :ºp
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] renegadedj:
well you may be on to something, because TypeFresh does not allow me to see ANY OpenType Fonts (.otf) and only TrueType. :-D
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Ok so I was curious and did a little test. I took the bauhaus font from the apk and opened it up in FontCreator 5. I then took on of the fonts that had previously given me an issue and opened it up as well. Then I copied all of the fonts for each key from the problematic one and replaced the fonts in bauhaus with them. I saved the file with a new name and then went through all of the steps to create the APK file.

After the file was installed, I selected it and then rebooted. HAZA, it works. Well it kinda works. The font size is way too big, and its still running slow. I have a feeling that the proformance hit is caused by the size of the font.

I am going to resize all of the letters, numbers and symbols in FontCreater and try again. Will post back with results.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ritalin:
Few steps forward, few steps back.

First off I will say that the font is a little hard to read and too light, but this is just for testing so its not that big a deal right now.

Ok so I got hold of a font that about the same size as the Bauhaus font. After doing everything in the above posts and installing the font, the restart was a LITTLE bit faster. It still seems to choke for about a minute or so after the desktop first appears and the pass based lock screen is sometimes unresponsive on first try. Overall its running much better, but still not perfect.

Also some words see to get clipped off for no reason as you can see in the image attached on the text for the Astro bluetooth icon. Not sure why this is happening.
