I have tried several of the root methods, all works, but this is the easiest one !

You dont have to worry about your phones device ID, java or anything else, just smile !

And to give a comment to the previous post, reflashing removes all your installed applications, but does not remove anything from your sdcard or SIM-card.

I recommend updating to 026 with SEUS (Sony Ericsson Update Service) and then root with the above method.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tameracingdriver:
I've got a decent firmware and its rooted and lag fixed (nearly 2300 on quadrant), but even so it's still not perfect. However, I have noticed that turning off the animations genuinely seems to make the phone fly, I know some of it is just because it takes less time for a screen to just appear than when it has to play an animation, but I actually think it's more than that. Things like adding widgets is now a LOT faster.

Also, live wallpaper, however simple it is, has a noticable (negative) impact on overall performance.

By changing to a static wallpaper and no animation, the phone is now extremely fast at all times.

You still get some animations on launcher pro, so its not totally bland!

Probably stating the obvious really, but it's something that seems to work well for me. I dont really miss the animations particularly, especially as it wasn't always smooth anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rocketpaul:
i have to agree about the widget thing but i will have to spend some more time before i can comment on the overall performance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
i'd trade pretty fun animation for some performance hit :D

but that's just me :cool:

I have turned on usb debugging and I have tried changing the usb settings and neither my phone nor my sdcard will mount. The "Usb Connected" notification appears and when I click mount nothing happens. Anyone else having this problem? I've tried just about everything. It mounts just fine on Windows but not on my mac.

I've got it rooted so if there is a way to manually mount it in terminal emu I could try that.

Any solutions? Or do I need a new phone?

I've also tried 2 different cables. Both of which work fine with other devices

Mine only worked when I did the debug mode, strange that yours is not. I am running an early 2k9 macbook with OSX 10.6. Sorry, I could not help more.
[Vibrant General] matt_stang:
I'm on 10.6 also and everyone has been saying debugging fixed it for them but for some reason it's not working for me. I'll try on my brothers macbook real quick...

EDIT: Works perfectly on my brothers macbook running 10.6. I have no idea why it won't work on mine

I dont have that problem, I'm running 10.6 on my mac. if you try on your brothers mac and it doesn't work, the try a reset to your phone, maybe it will help you

Thanks for the replies. It works flawlessly in my brother's mac but not at all in mine. It shows up in system profiler and usb prober but not in disk utility. I have no clue what to do

Check your log and see if it was a driver issue.
[Vibrant General] matt_stang:
Nothing even shows up in the log when I connect it. It's like it's not even happening. Yet it clearly shows in system profiler and usb prober and my phone prompts me for usb storage
[Vibrant General] Arr MiHardies:
Perhaps it is a bad usb port or cable?

[Vibrant General] philow:
I am having this same issue. When I plugged in my Vibrant I used to get a network adapter found and I would click cancel and all would work. One time I clicked to configure it an since then I cannot mount the file system anymore. I removed the network adapter in Network preferences and I still cannot mount the disks. I also cannot adb into the Vibrant either.

This works on all the other Macs in my house as long as I click Cancel to the network adapter found dialog.

-Phil
[Vibrant General] philow:
I have searched and searched and I still cannot find a solution for this. I have 3 Macs and on two of them I have no problems connecting to the SD cards or using adb. On the 3rd one it was working fine until I pressed to open network connections when I plugged it in. From then on it stopped connecting to the SD cards even with debugging on.

Does anyone have a possible solution to this?

Thanks!

Please tell me you're a troll.

I'm having the same problem exactly as described. Used to connect just fine, but got the new network adapter message every time I connected. Removed the entry in Network Prefs so that message would stop, and now can't connect anymore.

Any ideas? Anyone? This is really frustrating. Now I can't change the music on my phone, nor update to Froyo.

Thanks.

[Captivate General] mfriedman79:
Anyone else get constant pop ups when coming in range of a known and approved network? it can be really annoying that every time I get home I get a popup showing every available network in my building, while my home network connects. I have unchecked the option to notify on available networks, but still see this pop-up and consume the screen while it joins my desired networks.

Any ideas on how to disable that? or is my phone just acting up. Currently running JF6 rooted with ext2 lag fix. Does this behavior still happen on JH2?

Mine only popups when I am not connected, once i connect it goes away. When I am not at home or at work I turn WiFi off.
[General Questions and Answers] zansatsu:
I have a few questions for the devs here. Please forgive any assumptions that may be incorrect. I've tried to do as much research as I can online but I think I need a more experienced Android dev to help me solidify my direction. Thank you in advance for your time.

That being said, I have some experience with a device known as the GP2X. It uses ARM architecture and, in the past, I have been able to cross compile for it. Notably the Stella VCS 2600 emulator. I do have some open source experience, but I've never had any formal training in programming. Seeing that Android uses the DVM to sandbox program code, I'm still a little iffy on what I can and can't get away with programatically.

First off, I've read that the Android Chrome Lite browser allows plugins/extensions through the NPAPI. I'm assuming this is the stock web browser. It's not clear to me at the moment what the default browser is or how it works. It appears that Gnash has a C++ NPAPI plugin that may need to be cross compiled and I'm hoping to get away with as little Java coding as possible.

My main questions are:

1. Does the stock browser allow NPAPI plugins?

2. If question 1 is true, does the plugin have to be compiled in ARM architecture? Are there any caveats to this?

3. From what I've been able to gather, Chrome Lite looks in the following location for Plugins:

/data/data/com.android.browser/app_plugins

Is this correct?

4. If a plugin is dropped in the correct folder, and assuming that the mime types are associated, will the Android browser recognize/utilize it? In which case, I'm sure there would be an API call that would cause it to rescan like Firefox or Opera would.

5. If cross compilation is necessary, is it better to use OpenGL, AGG, or Cairo as far as wide Android compatibility? Again, I don't know what's native or widely available in Android. I guess I'm looking for Best Practices.

I just wanted some feedback from someone knowledgeable before I go through the trouble of setting up a toolchain to handle this. Seeing that the community has been looking for a Flash player, I wanted to see if Gnash had any practical value on Android.

Thank you in advance for your time and again, please pardon my ignorance. I have holes in my knowledge and I want to get a little closer to understanding this particular subject before investing my time in development.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gospodinwizard:
OK the last two times I attempted to load one of the Froyo ROMs, it's been a no-go. Both times I completely scrubbed my SD card and repartitioned it and the flashing appeared to go OK, but when I rebooted the phone it seems to have gotten stuck on the boot ani. Maybe I just didn't wait long enough but 20 minutes seemed rather excessive. Perhaps I partitioned the SD card wrong. I had been told the Froyo ROMs require 1 massive FAT32 partition without an ext partition. Am I incorrect in assuming this? Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Your SD card needs to be unpartitioned for current Eris Froyo ROMs

You can verify this by turning off the phone, removing the SD card, and booting those Froyo ROMs (without the SD card inserted).

You can convert your microSD card to a single FAT32 partition by using the Amon_RA partitioning method and setting both swap and ext to 0 Mb. Obviously, you really ought to do a backup of your SD card before you do that. If you don't have a SD card reader, and don't want to restore a Nandroid backup to mount the SD card from the OS, just use the "USB-MS toggle" in Amon_RA to mount the SD card to the PC to perform both the backup and the (subsequent) restore after re-partitioning the SD card.

ok i found the thread on changing your notification bar to have the android guy and thought hey something easy to do. i was wrong lol and now my phone is freaking out.

link for reference http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=750555

In the above thread is says to replace the status_bar_background.png well after searching for a while i found 2 different ones from the 1 he posted and that all i could find. there was the statusbar_background.9.png and the status_bar_background.9.png. well i did the first one and restarted and it didn't work so i moved on to the second 1 and that didn't work either but now i get all the force closes.so now every time i start the phone i get alot of force closes and it wont even let me do anything on the phone so i was wondering if you have any stock files i could replace the broken ones with. im able to let the phone sit and plug it in and i can get adb working on my comp so maybe if someone know some commands i can type to fix i would appreciate it. keep in mind im no dev so if you know commands type out all the instructions to do please. or if you know any other way to fix just let me know. i even did a factory reset and it didnt fix it.

thanks

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] birel44:
Sorry again for initially posting this I the wrong forum!

Hey all!

I was thinking of rooting my eris, but after reading the forum some, I still have a couple questions about Eris rooting and rooting in general.

First off, if I use the one click root app, I will not have to install a new rom, correct? Also, how likely is it to brick my phone? If bricked, is there a method of restoring it?

Secondly, if I install the FroYo rom, would I be able to go back to the factory build of OTA 2.1? Or would I be stuck with custom roms then?

The only reason I am concerned with restoring the factory rom is that if something happens to the phone, I'd like my warranty to still be able to cover it (I'm 99% sure that they won't cover a rooted froyo thats overclocked).

Also, sorry if these have been asked before, I just wasn't able to find them on my own.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
It doesn't force you to do anything; it only installs a custom recovery - from which, anything is possible. One of the options is to overlay two different flashes - engtools3.zip and the "OC Kernel" - this gives you root capabilities and overclocking, but leaves you with exactly the same Apps and settings. Or, you can replace everything with a brand new ROM, after you have made a Nandroid backup.

There is about a 0.0000000001% chance it will brick your phone.

What the risks are after that depend on your ability to read and follow directions, but are generally pretty low.

A brick is defined as "unable to be restored by any means"; so, no, a brick can not be recovered. There are ways you could make the phone unbootable, but not "bricked". Those can generally be recovered from.

If you make a Nandroid backup, you can go back to EXACTLY what you had before.

cheers

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garipper:
I had pretty much the same questions the other day; I went ahead and installed one-click root, flashed rootme.zip, encountered no problems. Then I simply followed the directions in the sticky in the development subforum (can't remember the name) for flashing a custom rom.

It started off by saying to create a nandroid backup, and it's a darn good thing I did, since my first rom flash was a failure. Luckily I just restored from the backup and my phone was exactly the sane as it was before the custom rom install. Still rooted, and all apps, contacts, and settings were the same.

I have used different browsers and I am experiencing the same problem. Dolphin, Skyfire, Default Browser, Opera etc...

I have opened up a bug report with Facebook but I have yet to hear back except for the customary "We got your request" email.

Has anybody else seen this or come up with a possible reason as to what is happening. I am going on the assumption that Facebook itself is broken.

The Facebook App is working fine but I can't view any of my groups pages with this problem.
[Vibrant General] jesse_wildcat:
So I contacted samsung tech support for help on the FB sync which hasnt been working since I got the phone.. When I did, all the dude told me to do was remove the battery for 3 seconds, hearing such basic, useless advice made me pretty mad, so i logged off of the chat session... about 2 or 3 min later when i jumped into my contacts... it had worked. This is coming from a dude that tried literally EVERYTHING, so if you're having sync issues, this just might do the trick.

Good luck!

I tried doing it through the app, removing samsung mobile from my facebook account, removing the sync, and everything else that everyone on here had advised me to try, and nothing worked.

To my disbelief, a 3 second battery pull set all of my sync's up to run perfectly.

Can anyone help?

Last year i installed a Hero ROM on my Vodafone HTC Magic with help from this guy: http://www.karrderized.com/romguide/

Everything worked great, except for the fact that it runs really slowly sometimes and takes an age to do anything. I want to return back to the original Magic ROM (or as near as i can get to it) so that it runs faster and responds as it did originally. I have read through loads of forums and the majority say i need to root my Magic first. Because i have already put the Hero ROM on, does that mean the phone is now rooted? I am starting to get lost in all the different reports and would like some clarification on what i need to do, and where i can get a working ROM from. Hopefully the following info will help.

[Android Software Development] FlukeDude:
Hi there,

You may know of The Impossible Game (couldn't post a link due to restrictions), which has been one of the best selling Xbox Live Indie Games and has remained in the top ten since its release. It was also released on iPhone and Apple chose it as "App of the Week" and it reached number two in paid apps in the US and Canada.

Well now's your opportunity to get in on it, because I'm looking for someone to make it for Android! I can provide all the graphics and music, and snippets of code that will help to build the engine. Essentially I'm looking for an exact clone of the iPhone app on Android.

So why am I getting someone else to do it? After already making TIG twice I'm not up for making it again, and I have other projects I want to work on. We'll split revenue 70-30 (you get 30%), and considering the success it's had so far this could be a very good opportunity for you.

If you're interested please email me at info AT flukedude.com, showing all your past work related to games, and we can discuss this further.

Thanks,
