[Vibrant General] distortedloop:
Yeah, that's what I used to think until...

I have an iPhone 4 and an i9000 (both have front cameras). I was testing both phones at the same time. I was going to return the iPhone in my first 30 days because iOS4 just isn't up to Android standards in my book. I also have a Nexus One on T-Mo that I mostly use as a WiFi hotspot.

I'd played with FaceTime once with my only other friend to have an iPhone 4. He lives in Florida, I'm in California and we wanted to check it out. No big deal on the first test.

One day I was driving to work and got the clever idea to connect the iPhone to the WiFi hotspot on the Nexus One. I then called my friend in Florida with FaceTime on the iPhone 4 and it worked just great over 3G. (You can also jailbreak the iPhone and use 3G Unrestrictor to just do it directly over the phone).

I had the iPhone 4 in a dash mounted holder and it was so cool. My friend's face was there on the dash and we were like in the car together. I still focused on the road, of course, but I could glance and see his face like you would with someone in the car with you when appropriate.

At one point he even asked where I was and I just switched the camera from front to back with the onscreen button and he then saw out the road as if he were riding in the car with me. Then I switched back.

We both really thought the experience enhanced the quality of our conversation. I decided to keep the iPhone just because of that.

So, yes, it's a new idea, and not a lot of phones have it, but even though Apple's ahead of the curve on that one, once more phones make it that simple to be face to face when you want to, it's going to change everything.

Nothing wrong with wanting a front camera in my opinion; those who do just are a bit more visionary than those who don't care about it yet. :)
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
lol! nice.
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Btw, I don't really have any feelings about the need for a front-facing camera, but that anecdote about doing an iPhone "video-conference" on the road via N1 WiFi is pretty cool. That' be a great thing to do while traveling.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Great, texting while driving is bad enough, now having a video chat while driving, please God tell me you don't live anywhere near me.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
+ 1 lol
[Vibrant General] patasenko:
Its not that new. I remember there was hard advertising in 2003 in UK when carrier 3 got the 3g. Apple is always "revolutionizing" technologies that already existed for a while.

For front camera would be great for occasional video over ip calls, such as skype, or what fring did before.
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
Its not new technology. Hell, landline phones had video capabilities 10+ years ago, it never took off because its a gimmic. Facetime is a gimmic. Sure its nice but you will use it a couple of times for the "cool factor" then it will wear off, just like the Wii did with so many people.

Its not a new idea. How many times do you think you are going to drive with your friend staring at you. Does your friend have a life? Think about what you typed and how funny it sounds...
[Vibrant General] ajftl:
lol u ****ing crazy....lmao do u have a life? LOL
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
You hit the nail on the head androidmonkey. I don't think it will last long. Very gimmicky. Now when data speeds catch up that might be a different story.

For example, when phones began including really cheap-ass cameras I thought what a stupid idea. And still did until this last year or so when the quality finally caught up.

The hilarious thing to me is that King Steve in his ivory tower piously looks down upon the masses content that he is keeping them safe from porn not realizing that the#1 use of his new phone is probably NOT facetime but *****time... lol

Thank you Steve, may I have another!
[Vibrant General] androidmonkey:
lol, i can see the ads for video chat sex.... :-P
[Vibrant General] bladerunner0427:
Androidmonkey is correct. Video calling has been around for years. Japan (and I believe Europe) has been doing this way before iPhone4. Just because Apple says its revolutionary or magical doesn't mean they did it first. Apple is full of ****. Their marketing team is great at making people into believing what they say. People need to open their eyes. Apple-lovers = lemmings,automatons, etc. And another thing, Facetime over wi-fi is nothing more than video chat like on your pc. Good grief.
[Vibrant General] The K-Zoo Kid:
What are you guys talking about... I use video calling on my vibrant all of the time. you can clearly see a camera to the left of the speaker
[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:
The Canadian Bell Galaxy S is also called Vibrant (which DOES have a front facing camera). It also has 2 touch buttons and 1 physical button like the international Galaxy S.

This version is closer to the international version than T-Mobile's Vibrant.

International model name: GT-i9000

Bell Canada Vibrant model name: GT-i9000M

T-Mobile Vibrant model name: SGH-T959

This makes me think that the model names for the different Galaxy S phones were made by Samsung, not the carriers. If the Vibrant name was the property of T-Mobile's, Bell Canada would not have used it on their model name.

Therefore this leads to only one conclusion: the trademark name belongs to Samsung, which sells to both carriers. Samsung, in the quest to take advantages of the media attention the Vibrant received, decided to adopt the Vibrant name to ring a bell with consumers already familiar with the US's Tmobile version.

It's not been rooted or had any custom ROM's etc.

It got a bit wet in the rain last weekend and now when I turn it on it's just stuck on the HBoot screen. I can't press 'back' for FastBoot or scroll down. No keys respond. I also can't boot into Fastboot with power + menu or any other combo.

I tried retrieving the rom.nbh from some official RUU's and putting them on the SD card. The phone picked them up and asked if I wanted to update etc. I did one update but didn't make any difference. Tried another rom.hbh and now when it picks it up some text flies by and nothing else happens & I'm stuck again.

Any ideas?

We've been a "test" site for a while, but I got the following T-Mobile system text today:

I have W7 Ultimate 64 bit and Java does not work for me anymore. I did follow the stickied guide which used to work but now that I did a factory reset on my comp, it doesn't work anymore. Java doesn't seem to be running (Not in taskbar nor process list). This is what I have in the control panel

Gary~
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
Is this a PC issue or a Phone issue?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xGary:
Should be PC cause Java is installed but isn't running...
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:
So nothing to do with the guide then :rolleyes:. I take it you've tried the usual steps, un and reinstall etc?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] xGary:
Actually, the guide creator just confirmed that it only works for v20 of Java which does not exist anymore... So until he updates his guide or someone finds the older of Java than it probably wont work..
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] SXUsr:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Globetrahter:
So I may need to ask this in the Eris forum but what is the correct format or the limitations for video for that phone?

I made some videos and sent to my friend on her Eris and she said she couldn't download the files or they wouldnt play, they were .mp4 files 240 x 320 or the other way around.. either should play but wouldnt

So Should they be in mp4 or .3gp format and what editor should I use? I think I pretty much have all the tools to compress correctly but ehh. no go, any help is appreciated
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ghostlypickel:
I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHATEVER HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE!

You must be rooted!

This is a guide on manually deodexing, you phone. (Duh!)

The reason I am making this tutorial is because I could not get my theme to work with Teenfaces deodexed nandroid. You may want to follows this if you have the same problem as me, or if you just want to take a shot at doing it.

What you'll need:

A Windows based machine

xUltimate v2.2

Patience

Process:

1. Unzip xUltimate v2.2, and launch "Main.exe"

2. If everything goes well xUlt should recognize the phone and make a connection. You now should see a list of options.

3. Run option 1. After option 1 is done, run option 2.

4. Now these well take a while. Run option 3.

5. IMPORTANT: After you have run option 3, you MUST navigate to the xUltimate folder and find "origi_frame" folder, and delete "guava.odex". It's a bad file, and interferes with deodexing process.

6. Now run option 4, and wait.

7. Exit xUltimate, and put the phone in USB mass storage.

8. Go back into the xUltimate folder and copy "done_frame", and "done_app", and move them to the root of the sdcard.

9. Put the phone in PC mode

10. Open a command prompt, and do the following:

adb shell
su
stop
mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/
cp /sdcard/done_frame/* /system/framework/
rm /system/app/*.odex
rm /system/framework/*.odex
mount -o ro,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system
reboot

Your phone should now be deodexed!

You may notice an increase in speed, and you now have the ability to edit certain files with greater effects. (i.e. services.jar)

Credits:

Rainabba and Mike919: For initially working with me to get a white clock, and later deodex.

toxman: For testing, and being a huge risk taker.

teenfaces: For letting me use his services.jar

And especially Xeudoxus: For letting me a guinea pig, for xUltimate, and answering my questions. And also for the making the xUltimate tool. It defiantly makes thing easier.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] geoxda:
what is deodexing?

Was searching through the forum for a definition but no luck
[Droid X Themes and Apps] jdenman03:
it allows us to customize system files so we can theme.

[Droid X Themes and Apps] geoxda:
thank you message too short filler
[Droid X Themes and Apps] inzandity:
Don't think you need to do this on 2.1 as you can put in a modified services.jar and it updates the system clock to different colors (usually white).
[Droid X Themes and Apps] quadjacks:
I want to deodex the phone as suggested by the OP, not just the clock.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] makickal:

I had this as well. All that part does is re-mount the system partition as RO (Read Only). This is done when you reboot as well. So if you rebooted at the end of the process, it was taken care of.

Same with the Droid X 2.2, after inputting "cp /sdcard/done_app/* /system/app/" phone locked up and resetted... :confused:

Is there a way to check if phone is deodex'd?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ghostlypickel:
That's false. This has worked for many others. If you have an issue please be specific, and leave a post explaining it. This was made for 2.2. The phone is supposed to lock up, because you have used the "stop" option. That makes the phone unusable, besides use through ADB.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dr154:
Edit:

only use those deodex'd files with the os system you first used basically.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] mezdup:
i'm sorry, but i don't follow what you're saying. did you misinterpret my post?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] ghostlypickel:
I quoted the wrong person. Someone said they tested it, and said it did NOT work. Just because you have a small error doesn't mean the whole thing is broken.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] :
All went well until I did the cmd prompt steps. Copying the done/* resulted in no such directory. The folders are on the sdcard. Had to do a restore to get phone back on.

//i135.photobucket.com/albums/q143/SPerry5531/Untitled-1.jpg
[Droid X Themes and Apps] :
Tried again and put the done folders in the sdk tools dir and on the sdcard. It appears to have worked.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dr154:
when you first did it, u might didn't have pc mode on or something.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Spiderman_00:
So I followed all the steps and ignored the "No such file or directory"

Rebooted phone. So Im gonna assume since I got the no such file or directory message it didnt work.

How do I check to see if it did or not?
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dr154:
if you got that error msg, most likely u didnt have pc mode on when u was running the commands or you mounted it wrong, try it again, if it dont work, will give your commands i used to make it work.
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Spiderman_00:
Gonna try it again...After I hit reboot and enter my phone got stuck at the "M" in the beginning. So I had to reinstall the .sbf and then root my phone...re do the 2.2 and Im back :D
[Droid X Themes and Apps] dr154:
"This is the test image captured"

How do I fix everything in the above pic to pass?​
[Droid X Themes and Apps] Spiderman_00:
Got it!!! :D

I forgot I had to re-root my 2.2. All is good now
[Droid X Themes and Apps] btango05:
I would like to know how to go about using these files again...I've deodexed and installed some themes and what not... now I want to go back to a stock rooted froyo'd 2.2 deodexed....and then creating a nandroid.... am hoping to skip the long process of the deodexing
[Droid X Themes and Apps] joebob296:
When I try to deodex using this method option 1 and option 2 run flawlessly but when I get to option 3 It just says An Error Occurred!! Please Fix it!. I have renamed multiple apps and and using GalaX 1.5.2 will this process still work or do I just have to have all apps as .apk not .bak?
