Hi,

I am using WM nfsfan's for years and i'm happy to see your community developping android for my old vogue!

I wanted to install the incubus26jc's froyo built on it but i see there is other releases of android os that have been made.

If I want an android OS that is working great with usb tethering, google market, mms, email, camera and gps which built should I choose?

Have you tried those ?

My Super FroYo Build

My Tattoo Donut Build

My Super Eclair 2.1 Build

My Super Hero Build

Thanks, hope you will be able to give me some hints :)

[Touch CDMA Android Development] cyburke:
at this point i think everyone is running incubus 2.2 froyo rom, or at least most are recommending it....

had some others suggest this cyanogen mod here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=746909

but it doesn't appear to be as up to date as the incubus rom
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
well what network are you on, sprint is the only one that has MMS working for Sending and Receiving

personally i always liked the cyanogen mod builds, but for a build with everything working, Hawk-SOAD/ zenulators ION Donut build is a good one
[Touch CDMA Android Development] phantom4ever2:
Hi,

I am on bell mobility
[Touch CDMA Android Development] phantom4ever2:
this cyanogen is not for the kayser? I am on a vogue
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
im still going to reccomend the Hawks-SOAD/ Zenulator build

it might only be a donut build but it has a few advantages,

1. its camera and video camera are both working, in eclair and froyo only the camera is working.

2. its a very clean build, your not going to find too many extra apps

3. it has the Android APN instead of the T-mobile APN so if your on a CDMA network you can easily set up MMS for your carrier

Warm donut is a themed version of that build.

if your looking for the Bleeding Edge for vogue Dev

incubus' Super Froyo releases are awesome, there are a few issues they are attempting to sort out like the device freezing on system resume. Fresh Froyo is built off the same tree but there are no google apps.

cyanogen mod 6 ports are still froyo, and have a few of the same issues

both of these are stable for Daily use though

Vanjilla eclair is my Eclair build of choice,

its clean and fast but again no camcorder.

sense/ hero builds are nice but the have to be put on a EXT2 partition of your card for 2.1 builds, the tattoo sense has been known to have a short battery life and none of the hero/sense builds have Bluetooth. They also are very heavy on the system so they might not always be the snappiest
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Cookiekaikai:
I also vote for VaniljEclair RLS11. I think the current FROYO build still has too many features not working or not working properly. See a list of issues in this forum. Eclair is also faster (I am using polaris)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] golfnz34me:
I'll also vote for the Soad/Zenulator build. It's the only build here that would give you the kind of speed and stability that the original WinMo build had. The only downside to this build is the unavailability of some apps.

My second pick is also Vanjilla Eclair (Although I prefer version 9). Very stable, but a step slower in speed. Has most/all of the apps, though.

The Froyo build are just not there, yet. Too many lockups.

[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Thanks for the excellent recap of different builds and releases. I know all the cooks and developers work their butts off giving us new life for our Vogues etc.

I am almost ready to flash to Nand, still trying to decide which build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] gorm:
Ive tried em all and VaniljEclair RLS11 is the most stable "recent" build by far.

Incubus26Jc's Super FroYo 2.2 is awesome if looking for a FroYo build.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jstrom23:
I've tried just about everything. You didn't mention phone in your list of requirements. If you need reliable calls (incoming, outgoing, sms), then I would recommend Myn's Warm Donut. Every other Eclair and Froyo build has led to daily freezes and lock-ups for me.

If you don't use your phone that much, then inc's SuperFroyo is a very nice build. (RLS 10.5 was great...RLS 12 worked pretty well too).

I had various problems with SuperEclair and WarmEclair. Never really tried VanilljEclair...I know that others like it. I never really had the time to build it up with the various apps and features (like calibration, etc.) Not hard to do, just takes time.

Myn's Warm Donut is incredibly fast and stable. I miss some of the newer features and elements of Froyo, but for daily use I feel like Warm Donut works best with these older devices. (Froyo and Eclair are pushing the envelope, IMHO.)

I'd also suggest running in NoMoRootFS...using Haret off of the SD (with 2x ext2 partitions) before flashing to NAND. It would give you time to play around with the various builds. They all have their own personality...it's pretty cool, and fun to try out. There's no one size fits all. That's the beauty of an open development forum like this.

Have fun...well worth it. No matter which Android build you pick, you'll never go back to WM.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] f_hugh:
Note, on the Vogue, as far as I can tell, both RLS2 and RLS3 of the Hawks-SOAD / Zenulator build do not have working video recording, I tested both this weekend. However, it does not force close on the camcorder, just doesn't do anything other than frustrate.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
i thought that at first too but you have to use the 2-07-2010 .nbh and then they work fine
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
I am almost ready to Flash Android to Nand, but I can not make up my mind which build/version? I am leaning towards Cyanogen, SOAD Ion?, or Vanillaeclair.

Any suggestions at all?

One is which almost all functions are stable and working.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] spuzzum:
Just a note phantom4ever2, I am not sure if these builds have Stealth tethering like nfsfans in the wm roms. So you might want to find out first. i believe there was someone in calgary on bell that was charged something like $60,000 for using it for bittorrent or something. Nfsfan did have good touch roms though.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cyburke:
i started w/ incubus froyo - lots of lag was my experience

then tried soad ion and it was damn fast, but i wanted "at least a 2.1" version of android (so i thought) and i installed vanillaeclair - faster, but still some lag.

think i'm going to bite bullet and just go back to either warm donut or soad ion for this phone. just seems like 1.6 is where its at for our device.

cheers
[Touch CDMA Android Development] cyburke:
btw, it took me -forever- of reading threads, refreshing threads waiting for updates to roms, etc before i finally installed android via nand.

once you do it you'll see it actually is nothing at all and actually quite easy!
[Touch CDMA Android Development] piperthedj:
as i have used all the previous builds, i believe the guys working on froyo have the finest product thus far. despite other user issues, i have never had a problem with messages and issues i have run into have been dealt with and resolved in a very timely manor.

good luck
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Oh, oh, is there a way to tell which release/builds have stealth tethering?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] dsmturbo:
Thank you for your input cyburke.

Yes, I have been trying everything via Haret, although I think that some of the issues using haret may disappear if I flash to nand (camera, etc)

I haven't played with Fresh Froyo at all though. Or Ion release

I am concerned though, as someone posted that perhaps these do not have 'Stealth' tethering, I would hate for Bell to come and take my house LOL
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
I would go for Froyo, run smooth for 3d games and more responsive for incoming call, although Eclair seems have the best speed now after Donut.

But it's just a matter of time till the devs here make the perfect one.

Looks like Dzo just release another great build today, downloading now...
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alinescoo:
Maybe I am wrong, but if I recall well, someone on the forum mentioned that battery life improved as builds came. Is it true that the best battery life is in Froyo and the worst on Donut ?

I use nou Vanilla Eclair, seems very fast and responsitive, also great battery life.
[Touch CDMA Android Development] vellowax:
How long does your battery could stand with Vanilja Eclair ?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] alinescoo:
Well, I am on Polaris, charged the phone 48 hours ago. Used it for about 40 minutes call, Wifi about one hour. Only 2G networks but with poor signal. By battery shows 46%... which is impressive. I hope it won't drop straight to zero :)
[Touch CDMA Android Development] f_hugh:
I found the contrary to be true, even flashed twice. :(
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
im not sure man im running that exact same match up and i have both
[Touch CDMA Android Development] superman9379:
So far I am loving the Hawk-SOAD build. I got tired of the lag of Froyo 2.2. Do you know the APN settings for the Hawk-SOAD build to get MMS working with sprint?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] jin5:
I'm using dzo donut, but using the launcher from Hawk-SOAD. didnt really like the plastic theme in dzo donut but liked everything else!

also, none of the market issues i had with Soad. best of both i guess?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] f_hugh:
To be clear -- you're running voguimg-320x480-02-07-10.nbh , OR voguimg-240x320-02-07-10.nbh ? Or are you running the eclair kernel?
[Touch CDMA Android Development] thoughtlesskyle:
the 240x320

voguimg-240x320-02-07-10.nbh
[Touch CDMA Android Development] f_hugh:
Any chance you're not using a Vogue, or maybe you're using a low-density micro SD card? I'll admit that the camcorder doesn't FC, but it doesn't record either using this kernel
[Touch CDMA Android Development] Does_It_Matter:
MMS Port: 80

MMSC: htttp://63.215.195.152/servlets/mms?X-SPRINT-MDN=yourcellnumber

Take out one of the T in the htttp above - had to mis-type so it wouldn't keep showing as a URL

Those are the only 2 settings I had to change to get MMS working

Just replace yourcellnumber with your cell phone #

Reboot just in case to take effect

MMS comes in as links - the photo does not get sent to phone, just a link

Also it comes from an extension 9000
[Touch CDMA Android Development] brewhoxs:
Maybe Super FroYo 2.2.1 by Incubus26Jc's is still better for my Vogue... ;)
[Captivate Accessories] darkamikaze:
I just bought this badboy.. although I'm confused because there's two separate screen protectors.. one that is accompanied by the front body skins and another all on it's own.. do i put them both??

(and no they're not the extra they give X_x.. that's different)
[Captivate Accessories] swee08315:
Can you post a link so I can take a look at it?
[Captivate Accessories] Uppsala9496:
Their website says you get a second one in case you mess it up the first time around.

Post some pics. I'd like to see how it looks. Still undecided on what to get.
[Captivate Accessories] darkamikaze:
--EDIT--

After being quite annoyed I got bold. I took off the clear screen protector cause of all the weird things going on.. watched a couple more youtube videos and facepalmed.

I dunked my screen protector in water like crazy. reapplied the screen protector.. and to my relief it is MUCH MUCH better.

I can only imagine now how better it would have been if I did that ahead of time but like a fool I am .. -sigh-

Even though it's better now, since I kept trying to flatten it with a card, it left dents and the areas I lifted alot left blurry marks.

The parts that were left fine really show the clear screen protector does an amazing job.. I'm gonna let it sit there for about a day and I'll take pics

--END EDIT--

mmmm.. the matte on the case is great. but the screen protector.. I decided to use the clear one.

This is where the problem lies @_+ the first time around i wet it.. (like the instructions for the matte on the case).. well.. it didn't look pleasing.. so I tried it again with a NEW clear screen protector (since it comes with 2) but this time without water.. it had the same effect..which in places.. had like.. a gajillion star looking things on the black parts of the screen and some on the screen itself..

If it doesn't "self heal" or something by tomorrow.. I'll try the matte screen protector :/ I guess I just suck at putting the clear cover?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
I have two questions concerning making a connection to a PC and hope someone can help me out here.

After much experimenting, I was finally able to connect my I9000 to my PC, without using KIES. But it was short-lived.

I read about someone removing his micro SD card, making some changes to a setting and then connecting as Storage. Well that worked for me. Once.

Now I can't connect again (Win XP) either with the card inside or without it.

If someone can tell me how to have my PC recognize my I9000 that would be great.

My second question is concerning where files are stored on the I9000.

When I made my only connection, I couldn't see which folder I should be transferring my data files to.

For example my .xls files, or my .doc files, or my .txt files etc etc.?

There are many possible places to copy them to and I'm sure they need to be in the right folder.

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plemen:
I installed the latest Kies and from it's menu I selected "Driver Recovery" - this installs the latest drivers for your phone.

Then from the home screen select Settings - About Phone - USB Settings - Samsung Kies. Go back to the home screen and plug in your phone - you should be good to go.

You don't have to use the Kies program - the drivers the program installs will show your built-in phone storage and your sd card storage as two seperate volumes in Windows Explorer.

You can also use Window Media Player to sync your music etc.

Note - for the connection to work you have to be using the default TouchWiz launcher on your phone - if you're using LauncherPro or ADW Launcher you'll have to switch back to the TWLauncher - you can use Home Switcher from the market to do this easily.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
I'm having a ***** of a time making a connection!

I gave in and installed KIES (said 160MB). It turned out to be over 2G and took over 30 minutes to install!!!

After all that it wouldn't recognize my phone!

I re-imaged my hard drive to get rid of the damn program because un-installing it sure didn't work.

So I'm back to square one. Any other ideas where I can get the necessary drivers for Win XP SP2 ?

TIA
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plemen:
Thats odd - I downloaded Kies and it is only 141mb - I have it in front of me... and while I don't use it for anything it seems to provide the latest drivers. If you look at one of the stickies there is a download for just the drivers... good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Thanks I'll try to find the sticky for the download.

The actual download was 145 MB, but after it finished installing, (which involved an online install) it was more than 2G (I chose the complete install).

Running uninstall got rid of most of the program but not my disk space!

I couldn't find where the files were hiding and certainly wasn't going to mess inside my registry to get rid of stuff. :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
I tried downloading the drivers but that didn't help.

One of a multitude of problems:

I have my phone connected to PC now (PC doesn't know about phone though)

and I'm in debug mode for USB.

I try to open the App "My Files" and get this friggin' message:

"Your phone does not have a SD card inserted" !!!!

In other words in this state, it is telling me that it can't even recognize the internal SD card!

I've gotten other confusing messages like this one when I've had my 8G external SD card inserted into phone, I launch the App "My Files" and phone tells me there is no SD card inserted!!!

Frustrating!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
A fresh test.

First I insert my 8G micro SD card into my I9000.

Then I go into App "My Files" and I can only see the files on my newly inserted 8G micro SD card. I can't see the files on my internal 8G! (But I could see them using this app just before I inserted my micro card!!!)

Yes, both the internal and the external SD mem are mounted!

Next test. I connect my I9000 to my netbook (Win XP)

and of course my I9000 still isn't recognized by my netbook (it did just once a few days ago).

Then I go into App "My Files" and guess what I get this time?

"Your phone does not have an SD card inserted" !!!

Yeah, tell me about it dear.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tk44uk:
Yeah, I know!

Talk about bloat! What does Kies actually do that requires that size?

I think Samsung must be taking the mickey!

They probably think their customers are total idiots...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tk44uk:
Maybe I misunderstand. Are you trying to connect to the PC in order to transfer some files to/from PC?

If so, put phone into 'Mass Storage Mode' (from 'Idle screen' > settings >About phone> USB settings> select mass storage.

Connect the usb cable, then pull down from top of screen and confirm to connect as mass storage.

Appologies if you already knew that :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Thanks for trying to help. Yes I already knew that, and have done it many times. :(

I can't help you but I have the same issue in XP SP3

Find 2 removable storage devices (Internal, SD External) but doesn't allow me to browse through either.

It makes sense not giving you access to the internal if the file system is not supported from windows but my sd external is fat32 so it should work.

Unfortunately you can't specify to only use one storage device through external usb connection.

I'd be good to know a workaround for this. I connect my phones to my headunit and it only takes fat32

I had the same experience. I was using AWD Launcher while I was trying to connect to my PC, SGS shows changing, but PC doesn't show anything. As soon as I changed to Samsung Launcher, PC detect my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ado_civon:
so you're telling me that I need to install drivers? it won't be automatic external storage detection just like on a windows mobile device or even the newer iphone 3g onward?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
What is AWD Launcher and Samsung Launcher and where do you get them?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Interesting take on this ado.

At one point I was able to see 2 removable storage devices (Internal, SD External) on my desktop and netbook (both have Win XP SP2).

But, as happened to you, I couldn't get access to them when I clicked on them.

More info that might help with this puzzle:

I installed KIES (full install) and couldn't connect after selecting KIES on the phone).

I am not able to connect using Mass Storage mode either.

I was able to connect ONE time on the netbook and get into the phone folders. I believe this was after installing Samsung New PC Studio 3.

But after that, no dice.

When I first started trying to connect on the desktop and netbook I would get the typical Windows USB connection messages: unknown USB device, would you like to install drivers from this location? etc. etc.

That was good! It showed promise.

Then after a few times I stopped getting those messages from both devices. During that period, I made a partial connection on each device.

I could see two new drives (internal and external SD). But when I clicked on them it showed no space available. Braindead basically.

Something possibly related that I can't figure out at all.

When I go into 'My Files' /sdcard/ will only show SD internal IF my external SD card is not inside the phone. If my SD external card is inside the phone then it shows the SD external only, not the SD internal! Why?

Also very confusing: When I pull down the menu from the top on home screen and select Ongoing: USB connected: Select to copy files to/from computer, then it asks to Mount.

I choose Mount, go to 'My Files' and it says "Your phone does not have an SD card inside!" WTF? (It says that with or without an external SD card inside).

Also strange, when I chose Mount, it then starts to sever the USB connection with messages scrolling by at the top.

So to summarize (this is strictly from the phone's side)

when I connect via Mass Storage it seems to indicate that a USB connection is made. But when I select Mount, the USB connection is terminated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkI9000:
Success, finally!

I wish I could tell you exactly what the magic bullet was, but it happened gradually. You know how you change something and it seems to help a little. So you change something else and it seems to be getting better?

Here are they key steps that I can remember:

-I went back and re-installed SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86.exe.

There are no messages given after the install completes, they're just drivers, not a program.

-I put the I9000 into debug mode for USB connections (not sure if I need this now).

-After connecting the phone to WinXP I went to phone's home screen, notification window and selected the USB connection and chose to Mount the drive(s).

I can now see and access both the internal SD and the external SD! WOW!

Maybe some sort of hack could help here :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mpavey:
@ado_civon: I'm not sure you do need to install the drivers.

My issue was that I was not getting the 'USB connected, touch to transfer files' status bar option.

I'm using Dark's ROM (based on Froyo) and don't see the Settings > About Phone > USB settings option. However, when I switched on Settings > Applications > Development > Enable USB debugging, and reconnected, I did get the status bar option.

Sadly, selecting this still did not let my computer (a Win XP machine at work, so I have no administrator rights) recognise the drive. Maybe it works for others, though. On my HTC Hero this works fine, so I'm still not sure why it won't work with the SGS :(
