Hiya!!

I just wanna know that where i can find stock JF3 files to my SGS, if i remeber correct my phone worked so well when i was in JF3, though i'm not 100% sure which one was in my phone before i tried another flashes, i live in Finland so i can somebody tell me what firmware was in my phone before flash??

I wanna get that market firmware files back to my phone? Is it possible??

Btw...when i flashed my phone my LauncherPro stopped working, now everytime when i try to change number of docks it starts to force close...i tried to different flashes but same problem is still there...

And how do i get my SGS in 3g network?? Seems like these custom firmwares has a problem cause i can't connect to 3g network..i went it Settings -> Wireless and Network -> Mobile networks -> Network operators -> Select Automatically ( though i tried it manually too, but no ) when i was in stock market firmware all apps and 3g worked very well...

hello

i want to buy hd2.. now i have two choices

1) htc hd2 standard

2) T-mobile hd2

which should i have to buy??..there is only difference of ROM one is 1gb and other is 5xx...

please suggest me i am little bit confused:rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
The 1GB version is the TMOUS (T-Mobile USA), the 500MB Version is normally known as the European one.

The only disadvantage (and it is a big one) if you flash the wrong Radio ROM, your phone will become an expensive paperweight. As long as you only flash TMOUS compatable ROMs and Radio ROMs, then you shouldn't have a problem.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shehrammajid:
if you dont plan on flashin any custom roms on your phone, then I would recommend getting the regular hd2 because it is faster. All the extra unneeded stuff on the tmobile hd2 slows it down when running the stock rom. Also, the resell price of the regular hd2 will be higher because its not tmobile branded.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salooo:
NO i love to install custom roms and by radio limits i will go for regular hd2 :P

thanks for helping me
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candy-men:
I also have an T-Mobile HD2.

What must i do to get a HTC-HD2 ROM flashed?
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
I have the Vibrant. My friend has the Incredible. I compared the two.

While on paper the Vibrant tops the Incredible in terms of hardware (aside from camera related areas), the Incredible seems to be a bit more snappy. Now I am not saying the Vibrant is "slow", but rather there is noticeable ~.5-1 sec delay when opening messaging, for example, where as the Incredible has none, at all. (I have applied Ryan's lagfix and hit 2.2k on Quadrant... wish Quadrant results would reflect actual performance.)

Seeing as how Vibrant has the better hardware, my guess is it must be Sense UI vs TouchWiz thing. I love TouchWiz (don't flame me) but if it is the one causing my otherwise great phone to slow down... I will nuke the thing.

What do you guys think?
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
I thought I saw that the incredible was starting to see froyo. Has he updated? That would make a huge difference. If you are seeing lash on the Samsung specific apps. I would say it is likely touchwiz vs. sense thing.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
We need a later firmware revision. The one we have isn't very good. Later versions reduce or eliminate the type of lag you're talking about.

Besides that, I don't know what you're trying to prove here
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
My guess would be it's Touchwiz that causes this but there could also be other factors involved. I have a friend with an incredible and he replaced his messaging with handcent because the lag he was getting from opening the messaging app itself as well as the threads.
[Vibrant General] krichek:
Have you applied the "fix" yet? I don't see any delays or lag when I open apps.
[Vibrant General] rogerchew:
if you apply the "lag fix" i'm almost certain you won't be able to notice any slow downs in terms of opening applications.

from the limited knowledge I have of the whole "samsung vibrant lag" it's caused by the way the vibrant processes I/O read/write? it's very inefficient as compared to other phones. the fix is a work around and it literally makes it amazingly "snappy" and fast.

I'm choosing to hold off on the fix for now, people reporting issues and having to ODIN flash back to stock is turning me off.

*edit - totally missed the part that said you applied the lag fix. reading comprehension ftl
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
the OP said:

He has applied the lag fix.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Naw, hes on 2.1
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Not trying to prove anything. I am half venting my superphone is not-so-super and half asking for advice on this issue (indirectly).
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
The problem is it isn't just on messaging; its pretty much everywhere (except browsing... browsing is blazing fast.)
[Vibrant General] blkbltwrestler:
I have a friend with an incredible its a few months old but I found the opposite to be true. Using her phone made me appreciate the speed of the vibrant, I almost felt like I was back using a G1. my phone is about as stock as you can get aside from running launcher pro instead of the regular home app.
[Vibrant General] Vanilla gorilla:
2.2 will only make this thing faster. I use touchwiz to show off my phone. It is a lil choppy but never slow. I think our only competitor when we get 2.2 will be the x but for some reason im not worried.

Sgs
[Vibrant General] Classie83:
My Vibrant never lags. No fix applied.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant

RIP my beloved rooted G1
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
Me neither. Had it since release. No lag and about 120 apps installed...

Just need 2.2 and I'm golden....

Gps even works good here... lol
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
After spending more time with TouchWiz's launcher, I can safely say it is the root of a lot lag. Sucks because I really like it.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
I wonder how it would run on a snapdragon .. lol

Probably horrible ..
[Vibrant General] drhonk:
Yupe .. same here.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
Do you think that rom benchmarking and posting should become a standard for all Devs?;)

I believe that all Roms should have a benchmark value(Benchmark Pi or other app) written near the thread title so we should see how fast the Rom truly is.For example

NeoPhyTe Mod v1.7.1 Sense-FroYo 2.2 · (720p|2.06|AP2SD+|Multilanguage)[My current rom - Desire] goes from 1254ms(first benchmark) to a minimum of 1093 ms(third or fourth time)

Rules:

1.1)Mention the app you are using(For benchmark)

1.2)What does the app calculate - some formulas take longer then others - Recomend Benchmark Pi app

1.3)Benchmark after reboot and after opening 5 apps.(2 Times)

1.4)Benchmark at least 4-5 times in a row and show the max(or avarage) and minimum value -> In total 8-10 times

2)Mention your Device

3.1)What widgets and apps are you running

3.2)Are they basic or they involve 3D graphics(Games/Movies etc.),wi-fi/Gps usage.

3.3)Are the widgets dinamic?(Do they update content Ex:Android market,HTC clock with weather etc.)

4)Please answer the questions in bold
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 325i.:
Modaco R7 froyo rom - around 1200-1220
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
What app are you using for benchmarking,Is it the first time you benchmark(values tend to get lower as you repeat the benchmark). And one other thing please answer the question in bold in my original post:)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FloHimself:
This values won`t be meaningful. You have to benchmark all ROMs on one device...

First run - 1590

Next run - 1622

I love my Desire :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
Yes,the device must be mentioned.I forget to put this rule on my original post
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambrospower:
and we can't compare them directly cause with new versions of benchmarking some scores are lowered or increased...mainly lowered....test with the the old and new version of linpack
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Every phone is different, and you can't even guarantee that every dev would use the same method of benchmarking, e.g. killing apps first etc, doing it on first boot, or after x reboots.

It would just never work.

If you want to do it you could flash each rom on your phone and do a big test (someone did this on the hero forum) but you would have to make sure that you do the exact same thing with each rom to get a good picture.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoPhyTe.x360:
Fro says, that if you don't try all ROMs, and do the same test in all roms, in your device, with same apps...conditions.., it isn't meaningful to ask people about their benchs, because everybody have different apps (and not every devices are the same), etc to can compare anything.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
Yes,rules need to be put in place to make sure the result is more close to the truth.I will update the thread as things get on.Thanks for the tips anyway:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daviddarmon:
I think that the diference of the hardware is very small.

tweaks and installation of widget is the real problem.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
I understand what he says but i shall take an example: Ruffini's rom(my last rom) scored in benchmark PI between 1650-1400,your's between 1254-1091 so your rom it's faster.I believe that people should at least get an idea of the speed of a certain rom.And also this will spark some competition because Devs will try to make their roms faster and better for us users:D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoPhyTe.x360:
I can tell you that tests aren't everything..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] override182:
true, very true indeed.. a high benchmark dosent mean that the device wont suffer from any lags or hiccups. Benchmark app actually tests every aspects (i/o, computing power, 2d,3d etc) under the condition that some other apps might be running.. A low result benchmark doesn't mean that the device is slow, that device perhaps would be very stable eventhough that maybe it lose huge points in 3d and 2d rendering in the benchmarking perhaps..

This test on the other hand can be performed by a few individuals which have their device under controlled enviroment and is standardized. We can see whats the average and take it as a brief figure of what benchmarks it would be. Still, benchmark doesn't bring much significant values in daily usage.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
with pinky 1.5 i get with quadrant 1249
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonderschalter:
Totally right - and even if you would set up an identical "device environment", you must take into account, that a Rom might not "behave" the same way (on the same device) if you install it e.g. three times.

There are too many factors of influence that make it impossible to build a "benchmark base". At least one that makes sense at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
I understand that this is not exact but as I said we must get at least an idea of how fast roms behave.Of course there will be small differences due to widgets,hardware,apps running(after reboot) but still a 200-300 ms diference is a big diference,in the situation of no apps running in the background.We could even start a contest:who is the first to make a rom faster than 900 ms(Benchmark PI app) :).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoPhyTe.x360:
With Overclock, any.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 00Ghz:
No overclock,sorry NeoPhyTe...well your Rom achieved as i said 1091ms(Benchmark Pi app) which makes it the fastest rom i ever had.Still 191 ms to go.Good Job!:D

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Hold the Volume-Down button and switch on. This should get you to the Bootloader Mode.

Run Task29 to clear any latent info on your phone.

Flash the Radio ROM (the Custom ROM will specify which ones to select).

Flash the Custom ROM.

Please read the ROM's page to make sure that your phone will work with that ROM and Radio and all the instructions.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
Hi guys,

I have my 32B Vodafone Spain USB Bricked, and now there may be a chance of de-bricking it, by flashing a good known misc.img flash image. You can see more info over here, although this is for the HTC Desire, I know a case of an HTC Magic that worked: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639.

The problem is that I don't have a good known misc.img file from a 32B Vodafone Spain...

Is there anyone that can get me a dump of the misc.img from a 32B Vodafone Spain with working usb? Its quite easy to get a dump of the misc partition, just open a terminal and do the following:

su
cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img

Cheers
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Binary100100:
So let's get this straight... a "brick" is a device that cannot get to bootloader and cannot get to recovery. The phone will not boot and you cannot get the device to show up on your computer. Right?

So how do you flash a misc.img without a computer or recovery? :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
My bad, I explained bad. It's "USB bricked", the phone is working correctly, but can't use the USB, only can use it in fastboot mode...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
No one? There's no one here with a rooted Vodafone Spain HTC Magic?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fly1nP4nda:
Looks like none, I found this thread later yesterday and tried the cmd above. I opened the img dump in a hex editor and it looked like a blank 256kb img. Half the file were 0s and the last half were Fs.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
That is weird, it really should be a 256kb file, with the beginning of the file with some info(not much) and then the 0s and the Fs :confused:

In attachment there is a misc.img from a Vodafone Germany 32B, in the first bytes there is the CID: VODAP102, then some more bytes ahead(not much) there is something which some say is the "rom version" 1.89.162.1... I tried to flash this file in my phone, and it kept the same ...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fly1nP4nda:
Yeah I tried to do the same with images I found on the htc desire thread, except I replaced the CID with my t-mobile cid and compared them via a hex editor. I didn't mess with the rom version as they mentioned the difference in rom versions didn't seem to matter.

However I did regain sdcard functionality when I flashed using the image from the htc desire thread.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
How about usb functionality, did you regained that too? Also, how did you managed to flash the desire image, its bigger than 256kb. Did you get any error while flashing the image?
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fly1nP4nda:
No usb functionality, it gave me an error with no space left ... but somehow my sdcard regained functionality. Each time I switch roms I lose my sdcard, I flash with that image I regain sdcard functionality.

I also tried the germany image as well since it is 256kb, changed the CID to match mine. USB still doesn't work but when I dump the image now ( cat /dev/mtd/mtd0 > /sdcard/misc.img ) I get the exact image I put in so no errors in flashing. I'm going to study this some more a bit later.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
That's really weird :confused:, never happened to me.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fly1nP4nda:
using cat /proc/cmdline

I get

board_sapphire.disable_uart3=0

board_sapphire.usb_h2w_sw=0

which I believe should be correct? I read somewhere else thats what it should be I think http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=691639

If that is what it should be... I still don't have USB function and the phone only charges when off or my cable is just busted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
I have the same. I have looked at a friends HTC Magic and its the same, so I guess it is correct.

Actually I can charge my phone when its on, but I also have a curious situation. While charging, if I go to Settings->About Phone->Status, the Battery Status always says "Charging (AC)", even if I am charging it using a USB port of a computer. I have a friend with a HTC Magic with proper working usb, and it says something like "Charging(usb)"... I guess this could also be related the problem...
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Fly1nP4nda:
Hmm, so your usb brick is just not be able to mount your phone onto your computer?

The details on my brick, although I'm starting to think it could be a borked port or something now.

I stopped by the T-mobile store and asked for a cable to test and see if it was the cable and nothing happened.

My phone does not charge when on, or at least does not appear to be charging. The battery indicator does not change and the status in the settings is not connected always. The phone only charges when off, I found this out when my usb just randomly went out and my phone died and I just turned it back on hrs later while on the charger.

I'm unable to use fastboot/adb via usb which was frustrating because while attempting to fix the usb I lost my sdcard functionality. However I have that back now and all I am left is with the broken usb.

I'm currently using the MISC img that was attached to your post with my modified CID, however I don't know how to get my ROM version. Do you or someone know how to get that info? I've been searching up and down the forums for the right info, although it was mentioned that it didn't seem to matter if it was different.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] skhell:
Yeah, that's right, I am able to charge it and use it with fastboot, Just can't mount it or use it with adb.

I have the same questions about the ROM version, have no idea how to get it or if it can be anything else :confused:

[Vibrant General] Texag2010:
Is it possible to hack the resolution restriction on panoramic shots? Right now as is, the only allowed resolution is 640 x 480. I understand it would take a long time to process the shots if shooting at a higher resolution, but the low resolution is pretty much worthless.

Anyways, a higher resolution would be nice. Not necessarily the highest possible, but at least maybe the 2048 x 1536
[Vibrant General] AquaeAtrae:
I get instant panoramic photos at 2048x544 myself (sample attached). That's stitching shots taken while holding the phone in portrait orientation which is slightly better than holding it in landscape. Still, I would agree that software should be capable of stitching together the camera's higher-res source photos. It may take longer to process the additional detail but I could wait a minute or two for the occasional shot.
[Vibrant General] Texag2010:
Well l meant that was the max resolution I could choose from, but when I take the shots I get a resolution of 2704 x 400 when taken in landscape and a resolution of 544 x 1888.

I'm hoping it is possible to select a higher initial resolution which then turns out to be a really big picture after the panoramic shot. No idea what resolution it would end up with, but maybe in the ballpark of 2048 x 6000 or similar
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I really don't think they are always exact on this as I just tested out a pano shot and it came out at 2816x400.

It probably all depends on how you end up framing it, and how tightly it gets stitched.

I see what you mean with not being able to change the resolution. That would be nice.
[Vibrant General] Torob:
I'm stuck at 0.3m which is 640x480 and pretty low resolution

A hack or something that could change it would be great because even though the pics turn out nice, its not as nice as it could be i don't think

I wouldn't mind a longer wait time for the stitch processing if it comes down to that
[Vibrant General] Shrivel:
Doubt even the Vibrant would have the processing power to capture much higher res. That said, even at the low res, it's a pretty neat effect if done properly.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I totally agree...the 640x480 is worthless...I feel like I'm taking photos with my 10 year old Nokia....

I hope someone figures something out...I doubt there would be any processing power issues...
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
Has anyone tried seriously hacking/modifying any of the various Samsung camera apps to see if this could be changed?
[Vibrant General] 12paq:
Yeah, this bothered me too. My only work around was manually take the shots as best I could. Then use Canon sticher pro on my PC to attach them to one file.... Should have just brought my lunky DSLR.
[Vibrant General] down8:
If you don't need it on your phone (which means hi res matters), you can take a bunch of shots, and splice them together using Microsoft ICE. It works great.
