I still use win mobile. I couldn't believe it when I couldn't find Skype on Android. I didn't know it wasn't available. As for windows.is ugly, u should try cookies home tab. Best app on win mobile. Also on windows I can read all kind of different language fonts. Android is still missing some.

I can't change the ringtone in Mobile 6.5. I mean, I can change it but it doesn't save on exit. I've downloaded PHM Registry Editor and found that HKCU\Control Panel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script keeps resetting to "a". This is really annoying, I'm hoping someone can help me with this...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdita2000:
Is there any way to use a custom ROM on Android emulator?, How can I use system dir instead of system.img?

Many thanks yo all!!!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Moved to Q&A.

I don't think you can do it easily, due to the emulated hardware being a fair bit different from the real stuff.

But I may be wrong, it's a long time since I tried. I think if you use the right emulator kernel etc, it should in theory work, but then are you running the custom ROM itself, or are you just making a new one?

But you can develop for emulator, if you chose to do so. I think it's called goldfish, which should help if needed.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] perdita2000:
I fact I'm deoxeding and updating su, app2sd, etc on original 2.1 WWE rom, and I would like to have a try on emulator before updating on my own phone.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
I don't think you can use an HTC Sense ROM on the emulator.

If you wanna compare what you've done with a known working one, have a look at http://www.villainrom.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=100&t=1973#p20592 and the third file.

So long as your output ROM looks like that, it should be safe :)

But anyway, so long as you're not flashing radio or spl, you should be fine (watch out for kernels, but from the sounds of it, you're not doing kernels. Just don't flash a GSM kernel onto a CDMA phone for anyone who reads this another time :))

As you, I have organized contacts in work, family and others, each one with a different melody assigned. The problem is that sometimes work and sometimes not (sounds melody by default). The phone identifies correctly the caller, showing assigned pic, but not always sounds the group-assigned melody.

Any of you detected the same problem?

Any clue?

Thx in advance

Hey guys, i just wanted to start a thread as a lot of people are asking about de-branding and others are also talking about problems with froyo.

i just wanted to relate the two topics as most of the people complaining about froyo are the ones who de-branded there phones. if people who have bought unbranded desires who r also having problems, pls state in the thread. i wanted to see if there is a correlation between de-branding and froyo problems.
[Captivate General] kahuhipa02:
Open my files. Search for where you stored your ring tones. Then open this file. Press menu key select more, then select copy. Copy which tone you want. Then click paste here. Open media, then open audio, then open notifications and paste the selections there. You can then change you notification tones to the ones you selected by going through the sound and display settings. Hope this helps anyone who wants to change their notification tone to something other than what is set in the default menu of tones! You can also change the text notification tone after doing this. All this can be done without rooting your phone!
[Captivate General] sprint67:
THANK YOU! I have been trying to figure that out since I got the phone 4 weeks ago.
[Captivate General] absolutechaos92:
It might be easier to just create a folder called Notifications on the root and put them there.
[Captivate General] pongothemagnificent:
Or you can download "rings extended" from the market which changes your ringtone chooser module, thus enabling you to choose any mp3 song as ringtone/notification etc.
[Captivate General] sprint67:
More good info, thank you.
[Captivate General] J4CC3B:
The app ringdroid let's you choose an mp3 file and trim a certain part out of it. You can then save it as a notification tone or a ring tone. Then just go to your options and choose it out of the list :D it is what i do and it works perfectly

Hello,

Could someons tell me where i can find an original rom version with SPL 1.42.00 in it.

I want to try to update my new HD2 (with SPL 1.66.000 on it) with an custom rom. Perhaps it will already asked many times, but i'm new at this forum and i don't no where to look. I have a dutch vodafone branded HD2.

[Vibrant General] Mark271:
What can't I uninstall when I root it? I saw that you can't uninstall virtual voicemail cause it is tied into the system, need to know the others.

What major things should I uninstall when I do root it?

I don't any of the bloatware applications at all.
[Vibrant General] bahnburner:
I removed Visual Voicemail and haven't had any problems.
[Vibrant General] rjwisniewski:
It all comes down to a matter of opinion and need. What do you personally use. Do a search and you'll find that some people have found that the bloatware for some things like the pre-loaded Slacker Radio and Layar may prompt you to pay. So if you want those, remove them and install the normal ones from the market to get the free versions. If you go to the top of the Vibrant General forum there is a Tips & Tricks thread started by s15274n. Search for the word Bloat. He links to a great topic on removing Bloatware where you can find tons of advice and peoples opinions on what they have removed.

Is there an app for android that supports file archives like 7zip supports?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imiddlet:
I use RA for my recovery system, and even google failed me here.. what gets backed up using nand + ext vs just nand?, and when your doing regular nand backups, which is better to do?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I think the ext partition is where apps2sd apps reside on the SD card. It's a separate partition, so it wouldn't be normally included in a nandroid backup because it wouldn't normally be overwritten when flashing a new ROM or whatever.

I think. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
Correct....the ext Partition on your sd card is where the apps2sd program backs up you apps. Doing a nandroid backup backs up everything apps, the rom itself, and user data....on to the main part of the sd card....
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stangdriverdoug:
Also you really just want too do a nand backup before you flash a new rom...just incase something goes wrong....a normal backup is fineevery other time

I am trying to build HD2 ROM. All seems to be working fine, except "Location" setting. I use Manila 2.5.20161332.0 on base 2.13.531.1, build 21892.

Back to noob mode for me!

If I wanted to satisfy my obsessive leanings and rename the .zip ROMs, radios, kernels, and what have you, will they still flash correctly?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
Yes, you can rename them to whatever you want to, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't change anything in the zip, renaming shouldn't cause any issues (I don't know about zips being signed though, if that affects it).

Test it out. No harm done right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
Easy for you to say. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
O.o very easy for me to say. I change the names of sips all the time and flash them. it always works just fine. I suppose that I should have said that before but whatever. I use clockwork recovery and it has never not liked a renamed file, or given me issues flashing it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chazglenn3:
I found out that is isn't a good thing to rename the folder that the nandroid backups are in.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
Well yeah, the recovery is only looking in that predefined place for the backups. Folder structures you shouldn't change.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
I was almost certain it would be fine, but there's always a chance that something is referring to itself by name in the code instead of a relative path. Thanks for the clarification!
[HD2 General] DD9200:

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
I have a MyTouch 3G w/3.5mm headphone jack that I bought from Craigslist. I just use T-Mobile ToGo Prepaid, so I had to get the phone unlocked (got unlock code through T-Mobile for free) and I used my mom's AT&T SIM Card to activate the phone.

After doing that with stock firmware, my T-Mobile SIM card still won't work in the phone. I got zero bars and with a small "X". I thought maybe T-Mobile purposely blocked non data plan SIM cards in their stock ROM, so I rooted and installed Cyanogenmod 6 RC2. Everything went fine with the rooting and upgrade, but I'm still having the same problem with my T-Mobile SIM. It always says "No Service". If I try to dial a number, I get "Mobile network not available." In Settings->Mobile network settings->Network Operators, it shows both AT&T and T-Mobile as available networks. If I touch T-Mobile, I get "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later". The strange thing, is everything works fine with an AT&T SIM card! I'm at a loss to figure this out. Are these symptoms of a blacklisted IMEI? Or do these symptoms indicate something else?

UPDATE: Talked to T-Mobile chat, IMEI is NOT blocked which is good, but it's still not working. :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boriskey:
had the same issue...I used my friend's AT&T sim with data plan to sign-in to google. I had to enter AT&T APN settings and choose AT&T network in the menu.

Everything went well and I put my prepaid togo sim card. Got no service message and no bars. I went then to menu-settings-wireless controls-mobile neworks-network operators. It scanned networks for a minute and found t-mobile which I chose. Right after that it connected to network and I was able to make my first call from prepaid card
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
Unfortunately, that doesn't work on mine. When I touch T-Mobile, I get "Unable to connect to this network at this time. Please try again later."
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boriskey:
are you sure your t-mobile sim card still work fine? i did research quite a bit this issue yesterday and many people confirmed that prepaid card works fine for them. check your network settings again and reset them to default
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
Yeah, it's the SIM card I use in my iPhone daily. My wife's SIM doesn't work in it either. I've reset everything to defaults, wiped everything, and even installed Cynanogenmod with no luck.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] boriskey:
sorry to hear that...maybe you should try to call t-mobile or visit a store
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] GnatGoSplat:
I did talk to T-Mobile, but they only suggested a full wipe (hard reset) which didn't work. I guess it's probably broken, and since I bought it second-hand, not covered under warranty. It's unlocked so I guess I could try to recoup my losses by selling it to someone w/AT&T.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
for those who are worried about losing WCDMA850 band (850 3G frequency)

I can confirm that with JP3 rom, you will get the band depending on the area.

Although in the service menu, 850 band is not picked, my phone was on 850 3G band.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
yes, like many others, i've found out my version of Bell, does not allow you to do the 3 button recovery mode :mad:

now i've to do it the long way via adb, but even so it's not showing up in the list of usb devices in adb.

but it works fine in win7 x64 + Kies and as a Mass Storage

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
I will re up the file.

Btw if you still have the stock rom and it doesnt go into download mode

i insist that you get your phone exchanged

what if it gets bricked? Then you cant restore it anymore because you need debug mode for adb
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
I'm betting it's not your "faulty SIM adaptor" but rather you not having the 850 HSPA band with the I9000 firmware.

And good luck with that unlock code, but it's not going to happen any time soon. Trust me, I've been through this with the Captivate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AllGamer:
i'm way past that already, but the update.zip says it's not good as reported on another topic.

it's weird, trying other methods as we speak
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
I doubt that it's 850mhz issue

because the phone has physical hardware to support 850 and when I did the test on JP3

I didn't update the radio (baseband) and I was having the same issue.

however when I'm on a call with someone( I already called the other person) I do get an incoming call.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
the reason why update doesn't work is because you need to change the model number to i9000M

I will also post the modified version of update.zip

btw this version of update.zip only works if you have stock rom.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
there has to be a way to do it with physical buttons, other wise if it gets bricked, the phone has to go to the repair center everytime, it's really weird because some phone can do it and some phones can't

when you check your IMEI *#06*#

do you see your IMEI with "/" then another number?

That's something I noticed un-downloadable phone.

my download capable phone doesn't have "/"

Also to note that updating the firmware didn't fix the download mode on my previous phone

here's another post i found on the forum

==================

I've had good repeatable luck getting into download mode as follows:

1. Power down phone with no USB cable connected.

2. Once you see "good bye" connect USB cable.

3. Wait till battery indicator is visible, and you can see the current charge in green.

4. Hold vol+ and vol-.

5. Press power until screen goes black, then let go of power only.

6. Should see the yellow digger.

Again, your mileage may vary.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
If you can't get in download after a bad flash, try this:

Take out your SIM card, SD Card, battery and open Odin3 (you must open Odin3 before you start or it won't flash. Do NOT put your SIM or SD card back in).

Put the battery in.

Plug in USB. (the phone will power on and goto the phone+!+computer screen)

Hold Volume Down and Home keys, and then push and hold the Power button. Hold all three and do NOT let go!

Wait for it to go black and return to the phone+!+computer screen.

When it goes black the 2nd time release the power button and keep holding the volume buttons.

You should now be in download mode, click start on Odin, wait for it to finish.

If you have a Captivate or T-Mobile Vibrant, it's Vol UP and DOWN (no Home button), but otherwise the same process.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AJerman:
Yeah, I wouldn't flash your modem firmware with the JP3 modem. If you do you're going to lose 850 MHz functionality. Unless you have an issue with the I9000M radio on the JP3 kernel and OS.

In fact, if any of you has the stock modem on your phone still, I'd be VERY grateful if you could run a quick command and upload the modem.bin dump from your phone (about 12 mb). I really want to get ahold of the I9000M's radio for some testing. PM me if you can help, it will only take a few minutes.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] leegoon84:
I think I am on 850 after JP3 radio flash.

because I get 3G data connection 3G 850/1900 rogers

is there a way to check?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AJerman:
Not really sure. It would all depend on what your area has. For example, AT&T is 850/1900, but where I live it's all 1900. So I can do without 850 and not even notice.

Oh, try this, do the *#*#197328640#*#*, then go to Debug->Basic Information.

It should tell you what band you're running on currently. For me it says WCDMA 1900 Band 2 right now.

The reason I don't think it would work on 850 for you is because 850 won't work for us on the Captivate with the EU radio. That's why I'm trying to find a Bell radio since it should support everything we need for AT&T.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
I'm willing to bet that the i897 radio is the same as the 9000M radio, give or take a few variables.

Which leads me to my question, is there an i897 modem file floating around for download somewhere? I caught Froyo fever after warning others about the risks, and I *do* miss that 850 band. Kinda necessary in a dense urban environment.

The other irony is I have a Captivate sitting right here next to my Bell 9000m. SIM locked, of course.

Never mind, all the Captivate stock firmware is on samsung-firmwares. Just thought to check /i897.htm and it worked. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] audino:
Works like a charm, Ive tried first without to upload the modem but then there is no signal...

DAMN, after flashing modem the phone doesnt anything...

Ill reflash everthing at once, but I can say Im still able to enter download mode, it only takes 10sec more until it comes as on the stock rom...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AJerman:
The I897 radio doesn't support 2100 MHz UMTS, and doesn't have HSUPA support (which is why I'm looking for someone to dump the modem.bin for me from the I9000M).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Croak:
That's odd, I'm looking at my Captivate box, and it says right on the back "Tri-Band UMTS 850/1900/2100".

That's half of that whole "World Phone" thing, dontcha know?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AJerman:
Hmm... you're right, it does. Well maybe you're right, they probably are almost identical modems. For some reason I thought the Captivate only did 850/1900, but you're right, they'd include 2100 for world phone capabilities. Well, hopefully the I9000M has HSUPA enabled. Other than that they may be a perfect match.
