[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gravejester:
What FW version are you running now? I was running JM2 from samsung-firmwares.com when I tried through Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] borchgrevink:
I'm running stock jf3 bought on Komplett.no. Kies always crashing when running test mode in W7 64bit (at work):

At home, running w7 32bit (with no crashes in test mde) i have trouble accessing www.samsung.no and www.samsung.com (all Samsung sites) in my browser (and therefore possibly the Kies server too???). Using Canal Digital broadband. No trouble accessing the sites at work.

The strange thing is that if I use my phones 3g connection I can access samsung.no on my PC at home, and can still access it as long as I use the same originally loaded tab.... TOTALLY weired!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mstrandbo:
Alright, that might be the reason. I'm on stock JF3 that the phone came with.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] borchgrevink:
Hmm, still no update in Norway from jf3 then...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edskal:
Dumb q: How do you enter test mode? *#0*#?

No luck with getting kie operational in test mode using *#0*#.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mstrandbo:
CTRL+ALT+U+P in the firmware upgrade dialog.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edskal:
Thanx a lot man...I see JM1 update
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mstrandbo:
You're making me cry... ;(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] edskal:
Sorry man, I really hope that soon you will be able to get it. Just finished the update...PDA:XXJM1 PHONE:XXJM1 CSC:DBTJM1. works like a charm...:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madfarmer:
genius !!

It totally worked getting jm2 from samsung-firmware and then connecting Kies in update mode. I also got my phone from Komplett just it was in dk, but i guess it must be Excactly the same phone we have.. So.. just get jm2 from sammy firmwares flash with odin and then flash again through Kies.. works like a charm.. !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] madfarmer:
BUT... When i open Kies again, it says that i can upgrade again ? But it says

Current pda:jm2 modem:jm1

Available pda:jm2 modem:jm1

so what is this about ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Norpa76:
Kies remembers the test mode setting, just push ctrl+alt+u+p again to turn it off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] paarsand:
Yet another Norwegian here with an unbranded SGS.

I've tried now several days to get this update, with testmode both on and off in kies.

I have JF3, and stock firmware, not even rooted.

mstrandbo: Er det noe spes du har gjort, utenom å oppdatere fra en uorginal firmware?

Og fikser den nye noen av de kjedelige bugsa? som tregheter og gps-bugs?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] n1kon:
Well said. However I would guess that as JM2 is only available under test mode it was put there as a short term fix for some issues people are reporting to there networks. Joe blogs would not know about test mode unless they were told, so again I'm guessing JM2 is not a full "official" release as it would surely be available without putting Kies into test mode. I may be wrong.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreybiz:
hi everyone ,this is my first post on XDA

i recently jumped to android from iphone (iOS) ... i stay in India and have ordered samsung captivate from USA (expecting it to arrive next week!) ,im not sure whether the charger supports 220v ,any captivate owners plz confirm this.

also can i charge captivate thro' USB port? the reason i ask this silly question is that i heard voltage fluctuations do occur thro' USB charging and may screw up the phone ....since it supports 110v! cannot confirm this anywhere!

plz help!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkamikaze:
I can charge mine fine via USB port although it seems slower than when i'm plugged in a socket. I'm not so sure about the voltage issues though but on my charger it says

INPUT: 100V-240V with 50-60Hz and .15 Amperes

OUTPUT:5.0V = .7A
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreybiz:

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Min Ye Soe:
Hi

Can anybody help me in changing my milestone 2.1 boot logo?

I already rooted it and can do some changes like bootanimation using terminal emulator but can't find a way to change this boot logo.

Thanks a lot for reply. :D
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
I have also rooted my phone with GOT's Open Recovery, and done a backup with Nandroid, but was wondering how can I change that opening sequence.

I've downloaded some boot animations in .zip with the following structure:

\

\desc.txt

\part0

\part0\01.png

\part0\02.png

...

Where should I place the .zip or the folder with that content??

Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Min Ye Soe:
May I know your phone model?

If it's Motorola Milestone, I can help.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
Indeed, it is a Motorola Milestone. :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] dwillMUFC:
When you have all the desc.txt and the part files you zip them Using store Then this .zip is placed in system > media there should already be one there.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zankyw:
Sorry, I'm afraid I didn't understand you.

How can I gain access to that folder if it's in the internal memory of the phone? Once that's done, should I overwrite the .zip stored in system\media? :confused:
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Min Ye Soe:
Install Android Terminal Emulator from market and give permission to Superuser access.

Put bootanimation.zip folder in your sd card root.

Run Terminal Emulator and type the followings as exactly.

su

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2/dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

dd if=/sdcard/bootanimation.zip of=/system/media/bootanimation.zip

reboot

You should see some processing as you typed in the third line.

If you see the error, there might be a typo and retype the third line.

After reboot, you will see the custom bootanimation of your choice.

PS- There are many custom bootanimation.zip files out there and you can download them for free.

Hope this can help.

:D

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
I had to put bootanimation.zip to /data/local and then it worked flawlessly.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Min Ye Soe:
Have you ever tried to change the Milestone boot logo? Is there a bit easy way to do it than the way like backing up with Nandroid, flashing the ROM and update again?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] 1xinfusion:
I'm not sure its possible to change the motorola logo, with the locked bootloader and kernel

correct me if i'm wrong
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] petyo.tsanov:
get root explorer and dell old bootanimatoin.zip in /system/media/ and copy new in this folder :)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
Doesn't work...had accidently put in DroidX bootanimation in /system/media and nothing happened...still the M-Logo on startup...
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] petyo.tsanov:
DroidX bootanimation, renamed to bootanimation.zip in /system/media ?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] Min Ye Soe:
bootanimation and bootlogo are different.

bootlogo is the one u see first after reboot and bootanimation is the one with the animated features (actually .png files).

For my case, my bootlogo is our local teleco's one and probably Motorola put it as a default when they shipped for Singapore.

So they might use locked bootloader and kernel to prevent changing it.

For bootanimation, that zip file is in /system/media and you can swap it with another bootanimation at anytime.

But the case is you can't simply copy and paste it using Market Apps like "Root Explorer" or "AndExplorer" or smth like those as the /system/media folder is readonly.

So I used terminal emulator to change the bootanimation.

I could change it successfully but I still can't find my way to change the bootlogo so if anyone ever tried and changed it successfully, pls share your ways.

Thanks.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TheSSJ:
Yes. For getting it to work it has to be put into /data/local (at least for me)

I can tell you where you'll find the files for changing the boot loader, but it won't be of any use:

Unpack the boot.img of the stone and there you'll find it somewhere, but since you have to repack the modified boot image again and flash it, you'll notice that it won't boot anymore because the signature has changed...so until they don't unlock their boot.img nothing can be done IMHO.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] p()()pypants:
So I've been looking for a way to get the stock apps for calculator, calender, and alarm clock back onto my vibrant which is now running the vibrant6 rom from eugene...

So far I've seen suggested that we tear apart anomalous's deodexed rom and push the files through adb but I have a horrible 3g connection and it already took me forever to download the vibe 5 and 6 roms and don't want anything else from that rom just the .apks for these apps.

Also do they have to be pushed using adb or terminal or can I just use astro if I have it with rw permission to the /system /data folders n whatnot?

Either way I was hoping someone could post up on here some of these and other stock touchwiz apps for easy dl and reinstallation as I know much more than just myself have been looking for these apps to bring back to our modded roms.

Much thanks to all that could help with this

Pooped from my Samsung Vibrant using XDA app...

Dont mind the skidmarks...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] rei165:
I would think it'd be as easy as pushing the apks that came with the stock vibrant rom to the current one you right now.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] p()()pypants:
The issue is even if I go all the way back to my old rom through a nand backup you can't grab a back up as a simple apk through titanium and I'm unsure which files i could possibly manually back up to my sd using some sort off root explorer....

Thus my asking if anyone had these apks or files with a method of transferring them where they are needed... I know more then one person is looking for something like this

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] the3dman:
You must use adb or root explorer to "install" them. You cant just install them like a regular apk.

ADB:

adb push whatever.apk /system/app/ (do the same with the .odex file)

Root explorer:

Just copy the files from your sd to the system folder and reboot.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] LabattZ:
Old thread resurrected!

environment: Vibrant rooted w/ Eugene's Gingerclone Final R2

I'm a lil new to replacing system apps, but I read up on this and by all accounts, it should have worked.

Using adb to push the files previously linked to /system/app then rebooting yielded the existing (AOSP?) Calendar still being installed/displayed/used.

Noticed the pushed files had different names.

Renamed source files to match target files and re-pushed. Rebooted. Calendar no longer shows up in application listing.

Used Root Explorer to locate files in /system/app (currently mounted r/w) and tried to install the .apk's; installation ends with msg "Application not installed" with a "done" button to click.

used adb shell to rm the existing Calendar.apk and Calendar.odex, TouchWizCalendarProvider.odex/.apk and TouchWizCalendar.odex.apk and adb reboot.

pushed TouchWizCalendarProver.odex/.apk & TouchWizCalendar.odex/.apk to /sdcard; launched Root Explorer, copied all 4 files to /system/app/ and rebooted.

No "Calendar" or "TouchWizCalendar" or "TWCalendar" etc etc in applications list.

Use Root Explorer to navigate to /system/app/ and try to install said applications and result says "Application Not Installed"

Any help is appreciated.

Would we ever see a cydia type app for android?

I know android is spread over alot of devices, but it could just be for the high end android devices if there was ever one.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
The market is our Cydia. :D

There is no screening for apps to go into the market, meaning apps, and changes that can only be applied to rooted phones are right there in the market (ie. "screenshots").

And this is why Android will always be better than iOS.

i think this problem is caused by my battery...

should i change the battery?

why would the battery have anything to do with the phone? it is just the power source, it does not control wether the phone should be on or off, that is your job! :) I've seen alot of these threads, from what I know it is coused by the motherboard, (over heating in my opinion) but there are other reason for that as well!

use search button! don't ask something that has been already sked, especially when there have been alot of this questions recently!!

hope this helps! good Luck!
[Epic 4G General] bdtran:
For the people switching over from windows mobile (touch pro 2) to the Android ad Epic 4G. How are you guys getting your numbers/contacts over to the epic 4g? Will we have to transfer them all manually?
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
You could use outlook or another like it to export into almost any format. Then import them into google and the phone will auto link when you login to your google.

Also the sprint store will have no problem doing it for you.
[Epic 4G General] ls3mach:
When I swapped from the TP2 to EVO I cleaned my contacts up and only put what I wanted in there. Google stores them much differently than my Outlook or WM did. I am pretty anal, so I just rekeyed them. Otherwise you can resync with the google program after.
[Epic 4G General] suarezl2:
I can't post link, but google search "google contacts windows mobile" and the it should direct you to "google sync" just follow the instructions for windows mobiles devices and yoo will have no problem transferring contacts.
[Epic 4G General] Serren:
Like the above poster said, you can use Google Active Sync to move all your current contacts on to Google, and then when you sign in with your Google account, they will magically move back to your new phone. It is very easy.
[Epic 4G General] mbug:
you can use mylookout.com or miqlive.com service to backup data/contacts from winmo then transfer back to new android phone.

[XPERIA X10 General] rafaperez3d:
In a rooted X10, it is possible to bump up the video compression bitrate to get better videos? I didnt have time to look about it in my phone, but anybody was curious looking for those type of settings, maybe in a config file lost inside the system.
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
Don't you mean - IS IT possible?

What do you mean in regards to video quality?

Playback (AVI etc)

Recording compression

Youtube

Streaming

What?

Wrong section BTW, so await this being moved!
[XPERIA X10 General] rafaperez3d:
Please, sorry about my english. But trying again, my question concerns about the video quality, the sharpness from every single frame. When you have a low bitrate, you get a lot of compression, a lot of artifacts, a blurry image. We know that X10 camera is good enough to get sharp images, but the low video bitrate make the final video looks not so great.

Please, dont start flaming talking what you think about the video quality, I just trying to find any file, any config to bump up the bitrate, reduce the compression from those video files.

This thread makes sense here, in development. I looking for a internal config setting, so we need people interested in android internals looking this thread.

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] -PiLoT-:
no it doesn't if you had developed a way to do this then you could post here but as its a question then im moving it to general

Dear All,

I have been a leecher to this amazing community and recently was looking for a music player which had visualization like in Winamp. Did find mobile version of Winamp but without visualization, so thought of making one.

This is not full and final, needs lots of work to be done but is pretty usable as is. I have disabled visualization by default and can be enabled.

Feedback is more than welcome :)

Known Issues:

1. Visualization Screen tends to hang up if the window is minimized few times.

2. Entries in the Playlist cannot be removed as of now.

3. When browsing to add a folder please keep in mind that the folder you are in will be added!

Requirements:

1. I have tested it on my eXpo and should work find on any WVGA device.

2. 3.5 Framework

3. Faster the CPU better will be the performance.

P.S. "Sur" means Rhythm in Hindi.

Since I live in Sweden, what is the main difference with the Vibrant, Capacitive and Euro versions of the SGS?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kgk888:
The actual Galaxy S, the i9000, is the version used everywhere except for the U.S. and Canada. Carriers there decided they wanted variations of the device and a removal of some features. Namely the front-facing camera.

The Vibrant for T-Mobile US has no front facing camera, and uses 4 touch sensitive keys at the bottom instead of the home button with two touch keys.

The Captivate for AT&T US has no front facing camera, also uses 4 touch sensitive keys in lieu of the i9000 configuration, but has a different body design.

The Epic 4G for Sprint US is basically the Vibrant with a slide out keyboard and the front-facing camera put back in, plus a 4G radio.

The "Galaxy S Captivate" for Rogers Canada is identical to the AT&T US version.

Bell Wireless Canada released the normal Galaxy S (i9000) but called it the Galaxy S Vibrant for some bizarre reason (even though it is not the T-Mobile US version).

All of the phones run their own firmware for that specific variation (except perhaps the Bell Wireless one as it is the international variation. Not sure though).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ebue:
Thank you for that detail description. I wonder why some countires do not want the front facing camera. Rediculous, really. Oh well. That means Sweden as a front facing camera. At least I think so. I gotta check it out. I didn't think about it when I ordered it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
because the USA phone networks wants to make another product shine

in this case iphone4

advertized as the revolutionary phone with the only front facing conversation

F/W 20.9.0 the wep key has 10 characters if that helps any.

Now this is all under basice security settings (under wireless settings).

Lastly, under advanced for some reason if i select WPA2 the phones wifi stops working. From what I hear WPA is way better then WEP. Is there any advice you guys can give me as you seem to be far more adept at this then I.

One question I asked the tech retard at sprint is would he have any problems doing online banking through the phone and he tells me yeah sure, I'm guessing its BS.
