I know the word Signature. I also know in many cases a signature can be impersonated. We live in a very unsecure world despite what many companies would have us believe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wfrandy:
Unfortunately, in this case, the signature cannot be faked or impersonated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aldojr:
You have a better chance in running the latest RUU and when it finishes verifying signature push an older rom before it starts to write as it already checked. What are the likely chance of a successful flash 5%. Now i go eat my hamburger
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garyfunk:
Thank you for all your responces. I am hoping a developer or one of root access hackers will actually answer this question.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dallashigh:
The question has already been answered. You just refuse to accept the truth.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SharkUW:
You're in denial. Google SHA. That's one variation on secure hashes used to sign a file. Combine that with a known file size and you will not be able to create a valid file in this lifetime.
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
So i just read engadget's review of the Epic (Sprint) and it seems to possess qualities that are lacking in other Samsung Galaxy S devices. Lucky Epic owners will have a front-facing camera, a rear-facing camera WITH LED flash, a slide out keyboard, and the ability to customize when the capacitive button back-lighting goes out. I'm sure I left a few things out but why would Samsung produce several variants of the same phone for different carriers? Why not produce one phone and distribute it that way? I know the Epic is $50 more, but I'm sure they can be picked up for cheaper.
[Captivate General] fsrkewd:
samsung epic is Galaxy S pro

the other three is just standard Galaxy S
[Captivate General] wuxingwarrior3:
Huh never saw that before but thanks for the heads up. I'm still bitter about some of those features :-)
[Captivate General] Kagoshema:
hmm

really the only feature that interested me out of the ones you said was keyboard and the backlights, cuz the sgs cam isnt that good, and on-phone flashes are really pretty bad for lighting. it has all the same hardspecs right? proc,screen,etc?

however if its thicker i wouldnt say its worth it at all
[Legend General] pjhoughton1976:
I am trying to sync my phone to sync to my Picasa account but it keeps saying it can't establish a reliable connection through 3G or WiFi

I have a gmail account not a googlemail account
[Legend General] zbrinski:
what app are you using to get your Picasa albums?
[Legend General] pjhoughton1976:
Not using an app when a picture is selected choose share and at the bottom of the list is Picasa - it then asks for account credentials before saying can t established a reliable connection- tried using WiFi and 3g
[Captivate General] hazard96:
hey guys,

my phone litteraly wont do anything. i f*ed up some fonts using type fresh, then tried to restore using the odin3 downloader. i accidentally closed it, and now my phone wont boot up/react to any buttons pressed. any help? thanks guys!
[Captivate General] ksizzle9:
had the same problem. i cant figure out how to even get odin working, it says one click but when i hook up it to odin it gives me a message that still doesnt tell me ****. i had to send my phone back for a new one and told them i used easyroot on the market bc i didnt know what it was and it sounded cool but now i know not to ever do that again that it messd up my phone. Praying to god that they dont charge my for anything
[Captivate General] bleeman:
You should still be able to enter bootloader mode by turning phone off and holding down up/down vol and pwr simultaneously until boot screen flashes then release power button only
[Captivate General] hazard96:
it wont even do that :(
[Captivate General] uiskibum:
open odin (use the stock one click version)

with the phone off (remove/reinsert the battery if need be) and not plugged in; hold vol. down and insert the usb cable (keep holding vol. down untill you see the download screen). this should put you into download mode and if you have the right drivers odin should recognize the phone.

I've stuffed my captivate on a few occasions and so far I have been able to use this method to get into download mode and fix it.
[Captivate General] hazard96:
it wont do anything at all. it wont power on, show up in adb, anything... and stupid att wont do ANYTHING -_- oh well. any help would be appreciated!
[Captivate General] l7777:
Have any of you offering support to the OP actually had your phone in the described state? I've read a few posts where the phone is seemingly completely dead as the OP describes and no one says they've successfully recovered from that state. All I ever see is the same old button combinations/battery/usb shenanigans and statements of that should work and that the phone is unbrickable. I have personally seen a device that was behaving in such a manner and no combination of battery pulling, usb plugging, button holding, or tongue twisting would generate anything from the phone. The only thing the phone would do was get hot.
[Captivate General] Belaflek:
same here. Phone showed bright green screen...wasnt done with teh flash and said it was finished...now the nly thing I can get is power and hold the vlume up for some IRQ and hex stuff. I posted a questionthis morning but...serious. Vol up and down and any things else gives nothign but a black screen..battery out...back in anything..its torched.
[Captivate General] daveshih:
Have you tried getting into download mode via the sdk?
[Captivate General] hazard96:
when i plug it in, windows doesnt make any noises and doesnt recognize it, and when i use the "adb devices" command, nothing shows up.
[Captivate General] l7777:
Did you read the rest of the posts? The OP already stated several times that the phone does nothing. I realize that most people will say it does nothing or is "bricked" if it simply shows the "connect to computer" screen, but the OP has stated more than once that the phone shows nothing. Yes, everyone is trying to help, but simply repeating what has been said numerous times before doesn't help.

Has anyone actually recovered a phone that displays NOTHING? No logos, no recovery, no nothing.
[Captivate General] hazard96:
Last night, i turned off the light in my room when i noticed a glowing from my desk. i walked over, and it turns out my captivate's screen was in fact on, it was just a faint black glow, and none of the power buttons would do anything. when i took the battery out, it shut off completely!
[Captivate General] Belaflek:
As I pointed out here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=757293

Im pretty sure it was my fault for not completely following instructions on the ext4 one click install root, settings.db etc so everyone needs to make sure if the dev says flash before..do it.

State of the phone was, it would not completely power on..therefor no usb drivers would load and Odin cannot see the phone and it can no longer flash..the only thing I could get it to do was show a screen with that text. I put in my post. I ordered it via letstalk.com so I sent it back and assuming they get the same result Ill have a new one hopefully by the end of the week. Im just glad I stil had my old iphone3 to slap my sim card in.

The odin one click flash thing..it just flaked right at the start it looked like..but I cant be sure because as soon as I saw a blue progress bar I stepped into the kitchen for abtou 30 sec..I came back and the screen was florescent green and Odin said it was done. I knew something was wrong as it was way too fast so I unplugged, removed the battery and set it back in...from there on out it would do nothing with the power button unless on a semi rare occasion if I hit the volume up button and power I got the IRQ stuff.

Annoying as I had a nandroid backup just before I started messing with it.
[Captivate General] hazard96:
i just sent mine into samsung... back to mah ol trusty blackjack. gonna have to get used to supermario bros 3 instead of spyro....

ANYWAYS theyre sending me a new one!
[Captivate General] ace518:
So, yes in same state as op... no nothing... couldn't get jack out of it. at all, none

what this post said worked.... not holding power button... nothign...

removed battery

plugged in battery

hold vol down

(still no response)

plug in usb cable and continue holding vol down.

it went to recovery mode

... no holding of power button, just vol down and plugged in USB... give it a shot man, let me know

EDIT: feel free to PM me if you want me to help walk you through it...
[Captivate General] hazard96:
Hey thanks, but i already sent it to em... thank you everyone for your help!
[Captivate General] ace518:
Just a note... i said before hold vol down and plug in usb. I had it in a pretty bad state tonight. Played around. Same idea as before, but had to hold vol up and vol down. If i brick a few more times, i'll give a better guide. But this phone can DEFINITELY come back from a state where you can't even get it to power on. Figured any additional info on this would be good.
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
The proximity sensor doesn't work. Ive tested it in the "secret menu" and it does work but when its actually in a call it doesnt (Yes, I know its only supposed to turn of the touch which it doesnt) Its getting really annoying since the call volume is already low and I can't put the phone up against my face.

Rogers X10a

R2BA024

I think it might be a problem with the R2BA024 Phone.apk or Phonebook.apk because I recall that it used to work (Either when I had stock or R2BA022 cause thats the only versions ive had). Maybe someone (Who knows what theyre doing) could try to push the old Phone.apk and/or Phonebook.apk into their rooted phone?

Or maybe is there an app that can make it work?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Are you using a task killer??? I've seen others have problems with task killers causing the screen to re-activate when on a call.. effectively overriding the proximity sensor.. If you are then try switching the task killer off (it's better without anyway - search for other threads on this!!)...

;-)
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
I am using a task killer. Do you know if its a specific app or process that cannot be closed or is it just the task killer itself? The reason I use task killer is because

1) Sometimes apps will crash or lag and I want to close it and

2) I want to autoend apps to save battery (IDK if it works)

Is it ok if I disable autokill or should I remove the task killer as well?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] 2twiztid:
You're better off removing it all together. Auto ending apps doesn't really work with saving battery life since they are (Obviously) restarting later on, making the battery you 'saved' from killing it null.

I'm sure you have an app with a built in task manager (Like Astro), so just use that when you want to close a lagging/crashed app.
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
Personally - I (along with a fair few more recent converts!) have found that my phone runs much better without any task killer - autokilling seems to make battery life worse for most people - but if you want to keep the option to manually kill stuff then try just switching autokill off first.. I don't use one at all though now.
[XPERIA X10 General] xGary:
So I tried disabling task killer and it still doesnt work. But I found out something weird. I found out that the sensor actually works in the dialpad after making a call. You know how after you punch in your number and press cal you can drag out a dialpad for extensions, etc. It actually kinda works there (not as good as in test mode but with a 5s delay which is still no good) It might have to do with my Phonebook.apk or Phone.apk that is custom skinned. Which one do you think it is? Cause the drag out dialpad with a sensor that kinda worked actually was gray whereas the call scree with a sensor that did not work was black. IDK if I even made sense... I will now look for other Phonebook.apk or Phone.apk replacements.

And the custom Phone.apk and Phonebook.apk are from the theme repo.

Hi guys/gals

I've just got my first Android game to a reasonably stable state, though this assumption is based mostly on emulator work. I only own a N1, so I have no idea whether this app will even run smoothly on older hardware. I'd love to hear some feedback, here's a market link and apk, enjoy!

Great job!
[Android Apps and Games] XaviorPenguin:
Searching for it Market gives me:

There are no matches in Android Market for the search: [B]pname:tommedley.android.game[/B]

Also, downloading the APK provided, installing it on my Android OS 1.5 on my Motorola Backflip, I get the error:

C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb install dust.apk
283 KB/s (1876582 bytes in 6.475s)

Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_OLDER_SDK]
[Android Apps and Games] egzthunder1:
Very nice game. It runs smooth on my HD2. You may want to put up a screenshot or two and give a little description of what the game is.

I made an article for it, which will go live soon. This should provide you with enough feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] jingkailim:
Tried to install on x10 but fail
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
I have only compiled against 2.0 for now (and as a result there are some incompatibilities). In the future I will get around to making it work for 1.5+. This would also be why it didn't show up in the market for you, sorry.

Tom
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Did it Force Close? What version of Android are you running?
[Android Apps and Games] DocteurN:
Just test it : great app that run smooth too on my HD2 under Froyo :D
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Thanks! Screenshot+Description added, should have done it last night, but I was very tired...
[Android Apps and Games] BrooklynAvi:
I haven't tried the game yet but the instructions has a spelling error. You wrote "Normal - not to bad" when it should be "too." Just a heads up. Going to try the game now.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Thanks! I've also noticed the target image is wrong too...
[Android Apps and Games] nattiii:
Nice game :) aside from the spelling error, you can't exit with the back button in the main menu...

Runs fine on my Magic 32B, with Eclair
[Android Apps and Games] Gnopps:
Galaxy S

I just tried the Market-version on my Galaxy S but no matter what game or level I choose I only see a blank desktop, nothing else. Home/pause buttons work fine though.
[Android Apps and Games] lavii:
nice game!
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
That's very interesting. Are you handy with logcat? Would you give me a hand if I sent you a debuggable apk? I'm afraid all I can give in return is kudos :-)
[Android Apps and Games] PPCUserT:
Game works great on my evo (froyo). Same for me with not being able to exit the game with the back button. Home will close it though.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
This would be due to me catching and ignoring all back presses :-). The reason I do this awful thing, is that if you go back from the menus, it will go back to the game, which has finished, and crash the app. (The game itself happens in a separate activity). If anyone can give me a tip on how to avoid this that'd be grand...
[Android Apps and Games] Gochris:
Looks fun, I have a Galaxy S so look forward to it's support.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Any chance of helping me debug? I don't know anyone personally with a Galaxy S, so it's going to be impossible to fix otherwise!
[Android Apps and Games] Gochris:
I could yes. Right now during the day I don't have a usb cable, but if I can do it all on the phone using terminal if needed that's fine. Later I could hook up if needed. PM me what you need. I'll download the app now.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
What I'll need you to do is run the game with Logcat running and send me a copy of the output. I'll need to cook up a version that actually logs though! I commented out all the logging in the released version. I'll be home soon and I'll sort it out then.
[Android Apps and Games] Gochris:
I just downloaded and tried it, it works on my Galaxy S. I have a Galaxy S Vibrant from Bell, GT-i9000M
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
I wish that made my life easier :-( What version of Android? Stock?
[Android Apps and Games] Gochris:
Yes, stock. Build UGJG9 if that helps.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnopps:
I'd be glad to help you. Although I am tech-savvy android is new to me but I could try. Someone else with the same experience may be able to help you better. I just tested again and the error is still there. I'm using stock firmware phone bought in finland so android 2.1.
[Android Apps and Games] jingkailim:
X10 is running on 1.6 now
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Here's a debuggable apk. You'll need to have your device connected via usb and logcat running (go to the command line, and from the android tools directory run the command adb logcat). When you start a new game it should log a load of information, if the game isn't working knowing what's going on there might help!
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Attempts to get it to work with 1.5/6 today didn't go well. For now at least I'll only be supporting 2.1+, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] |Black_BoX|:
Runs just fine on my magic 32A (though I am running froyo w/JIT). Nicely done!
[Android Apps and Games] smileythom:
Works great on my Droid Eris with CM6.

Awesome game.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Glad you like it, and CM is a pretty sure bet on making it work, regardless of device...
[Android Apps and Games] Beezkneez:
Sick game bro once I can play it longer I will look for bugs for ya :)
[Android Apps and Games] BrooklynAvi:
This is a pretty good game. It's my style. I like games I can pick up and play for a few minutes a couple of times a day. Nice job.
[Android Apps and Games] Muo:
Exactly!

fredley, awesome game. Working fine on the Dell Streak with 2.1 running.

.
[Android Apps and Games] jingkailim:
Oo what shame"( really look forward to try. Guess i got to wait for my update deb. Good luck:)
[Android Apps and Games] mulletcutter:
Working on mytouch 3g 1.2, rooted w/2.2. No problems as of yet
[Android Apps and Games] Gochris:
Well it worked on my Galaxy S on the very first game. It does not work anymore. Even after a rom upgrade. Will try to log later when I have time.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Interesting. If you close the app (preferably kill it using taskiller or something) and restart do you get to play another game? Does it affect Time Trial games or just mazes?
[Android Apps and Games] novinthen:
its awesome! running smooth in my Desire Froyo! thanks dude!
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Updated! See changelog on first post.
[Android Apps and Games] Gnopps:
When I installed that version it worked fine! I don't have much time now but will try some more tomorrow.
[Android Apps and Games] :
Looks promising! Runs fine on HTC Hero running VillainROM 12.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Update

Updated to 1.1:

Bonuses added to Time Trial Mode

Fixed sound levels

Minor bug fixes

Market version updated too, let me know how you get on, particularly Samsung Galaxy owners (I've added some preloading that may help...)
[Android Apps and Games] angstwad:
I really enjoyed this game for its simplicity. Worked well on my Droid w/ CM 6.0.0 and O/C kernel. No issues/bugs encountered at all.

How did you work on this project? Android SDK/Eclipse IDE? Just curious.
[Android Apps and Games] semsem1969:
Great Game

thanks ....Love it

working fine on My Motorola Choles XT701
[Android Apps and Games] ZeroBarrier:
This is a great simple game, keep up the good work. Working fine on Motorola Droid CM v6.0.0.
[Android Apps and Games] Dream_Team:
If you have a back menu button, you can make that when the user goes back to the main menu the whole activity stack is deleted. That way, wherever you are, when you return to the main menu, back will quit the application.

In order to do that, you need to add activity parameters in your AndroidManifest.

If you want to know what parameters to use PM me and I'll tell you which ones, or play with Music.apk's Now Playing activity ones. (you don't need them all)
[Android Apps and Games] d0nald01:
Does not work on my galaxy s. Will force close after selecting the difficulty
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Fixed this by using android:noHistory for the game activity :-)
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Can you report the FC? If I can see the stack trace in can go some way to fixing it :-)
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Orange wanted to give me an upgrade phone, so I got my hands on a Galaxy S today and fixed the problem! Turned out the Canvas I draw the game onto was being measured and ratios worked out before it was being initialized...

I'm now selling the Samsung on (I love my N1 too much), any UK buyers interested let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] fredley:
Update - 1.3

Updated to 1.3 - added extra bonuses and tarted up the instructions somewhat. If anyone's still experiencing problems playing the game on their phone, please let me know!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fua1:
I know how noob-ish this question is. I was doing some backups and it got me wondering, what exactly does NAND backup backup. I searched but couldn't find a complete answer.

Looks like the radios are not covered.

I'm guessing, settings, apps (except ext, unless specified), contacts, etc are good.

How about the kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhMassacre:
Everything.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fua1:
Not the radios, though. Right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
I don't think radios or anything low level is backed up. You can see the partitions that it backs up if you open the backup on your computer. There should be like 5 img files, each corresponding to a partition that was backed up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dafferen:
Hi, I'm running NexTSense v5.3 Sense-FroYo 2.2 Official OTA and want to enable apps to SD Card. I try to partition with ROM Manager but it don't seem to work. I've got 66mb internal memory right after wipe and rom install. What should I do?

Thanks

EDIT: I forgot to mention my SD Card is 8GB Class 4 and HBOOT is 0.83.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] !PANDA:
had the same problem... in this ROM you get "Spare Parts", there you should find near the top "APPS2SD" click on that and make sure that "External" is selected. Once you've done that, got to Menu, Applications and select any app you wanty to mave, and there should be "Move to SD"

hope this helps! good luck!
