[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DasLeo:
That's right !!!

We are using a mounted image with a filesystem laying on a native filesystem.

The reason why we aren't using the whole internal SD card with yaffs2 or ext4... is we cannot partition the whole internal SD card and copy our files afterwards.

BUT... we are able to compile some tools like "fdisk", "resize_[filesystem]" for ARM to use them direcly on the system for resizing (smaller) -> creating a new one -> and format it with yaffs2 for example.

After that we have the ability to use this partition like the ones in all other lagfixes mounting, symlinking...

That's the Idea ;)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emalf:
Just got my switch from hero to desire yesterday :D. I follow my friends advice on flashing RUU and OTA to 2.2, even through I know that would lost the custom rom which is on the phone and the custom recovery I installed via unrevoked.

Now I have a phone with SW 2.09.405.8, radio 5.09.00.20 and h.boot 0.92 :o, But I found I miss the extra I can do with root and custom recovery. But I want to get thing clear before I do that. So here comes my questions

1. How can I brick my desire ? (which is clearly something I want to avoid)

2. Can I use unrevoked to load a custome recovery with 0.92, or is it possible to flash a custom recovery into it in h.boot 0.92 ?

3. Is gold card necessary for desire which is not locked? and I assue locked mean a phone from the service provider which can only operate in its network. Besides, what is that simlock thing under the bootloader option ?

4. Can I get root in my stock 2.2 ? or I should install a custom rom or a rooted stock rom ?

5. What would happen if I format boot then do nothing else ?

Thanks

Hey Guys,

is there a possibility to wide the light sensor range. If i compare my Desire with iphone, which ever, in complete darkness the iphone is more friendly to read. It´s near without backlight, my desire looks like a fog lamp :p

Would be great to change the operate parameters of the light sensor, does somebody know an app or ist there a rom, with sense, which providing this feature??

Thanks for great wory guys,

I have the same problem, but I just use the app called "Dimmer (Night mode)" from market.

It's not as elegant as having the auto brightness turn it all the way down, but it works.

It switches between lowest brightness and the brightness you had selected before.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr.trader:
yes, i know this app, but as you say not so cofortable...

anybody another idea?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] chevycam94:
Is there any way to hard code (when building a custom ROM) the OS so that certain pre-installed system apps DONT auto-start on boot-up, or constantly start while the OS is running (restart themselves and stay running)? I am trying to stop things like Google Maps from starting on its own, unless I WANT to start it. Another example is not auto-starting the GMAIL or MAIL apps, until I open them. Same deal. Possible?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] [ L ]:
Go into settings then click on the button labeled "Applications". Then click on "Running" and click on the apps you want to stop running and click "Force Stop" and they will stop running until you reopen them again. Otherwise, download ATK.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Themes and Apps] :
Or you can use a program called autostarts which can be found in market. Not sure if you can disable the autostart when building ROM.

followed these easy steps to tether my phone and it works flawlessly. but am hoping for some faster speeds... Heres how i tethered without being rooted.

EDIT: Im working on a MacBookPro. so not windows.

*** Note: I had to have USB debugging enabled to get MacOS X to prompt setting up the vibrant as a USB modem. Not having this enabled didn't work.***

1. Connect your Vibrant to your Mac with the USB cable.

2. MacOS should prompt you saying that there is a device connected and not set up. If it does not, click on the Apple Menu, select system preferences. Select the Network pane.

3. The device should have been named as SAMSUNG_Android. Select it.

4. Start with the advanced options. Click the button that says 'Advanced.'

5. Under the Modem tab, use these options:

Model: Samsung

Model: GPRS (GSM/3G)

APN: epc.tmobile.com

CID: 1

6. I left the DNS, WINS, and Proxies tabs alone  7. I read on a blackberry forum that under the PPP tab, 'TCP Compression' had to be checked.  8. Click 'OK' and return to the Network Pane.  9. I used these settings for the SAMSUNG_Android configuration.

Telephone Number: *99#

Account Name: username

any info greatly appreciated.:cool:

guess no ones giving me the time of day since i havent rooted my phone... :(
[Vibrant General] shootr:
That and Kies are pretty much the only non-root tethers that I know of. And I know nothing about Apple as far as tweaking what you have..

And did you really expect responses within 31 mins? Don't take net forums personally -- people help as they can. Sometimes questions get lost in the shuffle. If you don't get an answer in a couple of days, bump it back up to the top.
[Vibrant General] shootr:
Whoops, forgot PDAnet and Easytether, but I'm not sure about Apple support.
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
JLike the other poster mentioned, 31 minutes isn't long to wait for a response, give it a day at least before bumping. Download a speed test app for the phone in the market and see what kind of speed you gcet on your phone. Then check through your browser on your Mac and see if its around the same speed, if so I don't think there is much of an issue. If your getting alot faster on your phone maybe try something like pdanet and see if that works better for you. Only other options I know of involve rooting, which really isn't a big deal IMO. Hope that helps...

I need to use my good ol ipaq 2495b. Have not used it or charged it in 6 months... however when trying to turn it on, or even charge it, the system seems to boot about 15% there, than it shuts off! I did hard reboot so it says "formatting PS" at the bottom, same thing - goes about %15 or 5 seconds, than it just shuts off!!!

I went into pre-BL mode, all white, it seems to sit on the charger...

I can go into eBoot mode that shows the tomahawk.v5 version but nothing happens.

I think the battery is very very dead, but I can't seem to be able to charge it at all!

Anyone experience this? I'm using successfully installed wm6.5 I think version sp5 eng of release. I want to update and just use my device... any help thanks
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Spiaatie:
It's possible that iPAQ does have a bad flash chip.

It seems that there is nothing you can do, as I have two hx2495b motherboards and they act the same way.

iPAQ runs without battery, so empty battery is not case.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anoneemooz:
Hey guys!

Just wanted to know if it's possible or okay to flash an Asian based SGS with European software...I was interested in checking out the beta releases with Froyo but they're only available as European firmware.

My phone was purchased from the US but it was apparently sourced from Singapore since it had Singtel stuff on it. I flashed it to generic Asian firmware and then updated it with Samsung KIES which gave me the Asian firmware upgrade (DXJG4) free from Singtel customizations (yay!)

And another question...which firmware do you guys recommend to stick with until Froyo is officially released? Like which firmware do you guys experience the least "black screens" or stalling/lag? I don't want to be installing random fixes just yet so I was hoping there's a firmware out there that has less or none of these issues.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewluecke:
You can, just avoid the US/i9000M/i9008/Korean ROM's. But with XXJG1-JG5 roms on my singtel, I found the GPS didn't pick up a single sat.

I recommend XXJM5 currently.. GPS is usable (but still drifts, and doesn't respond when making sharp corners well), and everything which works on other roms seems to still work.

In regards to Froyo, don't bother. It's a fun play for a short time, but there are very few benefits, and plenty of serious disadvantages still (because JP1-JP3 still are in an early testing stage).

Also, it isn't known how service centres deals with flashing other regions firmware (and if they care enough to cancel warranty).

O2 stopped offering unlimited data on all their new tariffs, this came into force when the iphone 4 was launched. You're limited to between 500MB and 1GB dependant on the tariff.

If you have an existing unlimited data tariff, you can keep it but any changes will cause the data caps to be enforced.

On my XDA serra I never used the wi-fi and I was sceptical about a 500mb limit, but despite all my use of the gprs/3g service I use on average 180mb per month, and that included many a football match on the radio.

So I'm looking for SD cards for my vibrant. I'm wondering if I should be shelling out 100$ for a 16 GB Class 10 card or get the class 2 32 GB for the same price. Does anyone know if the phone might somehow be limited to certain file transfer speeds when connected via USB? I do intend to use the card for video and have all my apps on it. Thoughts?
[Vibrant Accessories] db3:
From wikipedia:

You might compromise and look for a class 6 -- i've seen a lot more class 6's than 10's so you might get a much better value from a class 6 purchase -- unless you need/want the fastest possible.
[Vibrant Accessories] kizer:
Lets just say I survived for a couple of years or whatever the time frame was running my apps off my G1 on a Class 6 card just fine.

Avatar runs fine on my SD card so I'd guess at least whatever that is if you are running video.

i have a 32 gb class2 and it plays my 720p .mkv videos just fine
[Vibrant Accessories] sfsilicon:
Not all micro SD cards are made the same even if they say they are a given class. Stay away from eBay there are cases where people modify the firmware of the card and you get a card that is actually smaller or slower.

The best cards are name brands like Sandisk or Lexar. Transcend is also a very good brand and the tend to mark their card such that they always meet the spec but often read at higher speeds. Kingston is the name brand card that I have seen so far, but reviews on Newegg indicate that it's R/W performance isn't class 10 (<10MB/s). Some vendors interpret the class spec such that they say cards are class X if their peak read speed is X instead of their lowest R/W speed should not go below X.

I'd recommend getting a class 6 Transcend card (lifetime warranty). The sweet spot right now is 8GB class 6 for ~$20. Their 16GB is like ~$75 on Amazon.

Class 6 is good if you plan to run apps or put extended partitions / swap on it. That is what I did with my old G1. It is also a safe bet if your planning to record at 720p.

If you just need space for playing movies and music you can go for the cheaper 32GB cards. I'd pick a class 4 to be safe if your doing HD movies.

Takes an EXE file and extracts the contained CAB or BIN files (the file is trimmed to match the internal size). It can extract:

1) the CAB that contains the ROMs in the HTC ROM Updaters from which you can get the NBH/NBF ROM file.

2) the CAB contained in the HTC ROM Hotfixes that you can after cook in your ROMs or install on your phone without using activesync
