[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ragewerx:
Is there a thread that shows the users marginal picks of the best combo's of mods, roms, hardware, and apps? I tried to search for it but didn't seem to find it.

(Please keep in mind most of the stuff I have found is dated from 2009 and CM6 was released yesterday)

Basically, I am interested in rooting my G1 and updating it to CM6.??? But the radio (danger/death.spk) scare has a hold of me. I want to make sure that I can go back to factory without problems. (In case I sell the phone)

What about running apps from SD? Is it effective on a 8GB class 2 card? And if so what are the advantages of it? (Speed increase, load times, ect.) Can this be done without flashing/rooting?

Is there a way to transfer files over bluetooth or Wi-Fi without having to root?

There are quite a few things other than this but, these are the most important that I can think of. And since I have never messed with rooting or ROMS I have no idea if it is even possible to install apps after flashing with a new ROM.

Once again, forgive me in my wonderment of noobness! I am another droid that has seen the fading light of win-mo and has crossed over!

Thank you to all in advance for their help!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnson8cyl:
Don't believe there is a thread of that nature.

You don't need the danger spl anymore. Do a search for firerat's mtd patch and that will work for you. As long as you read and do follow the instructions there is no fear involved even with danger spl. Just dont make a mistake. You can always go back with the dreaming.nbh file. Always a way to unroot. You will want to get amonra 1.7.0 for recovery. And for your sake nandroid.

If you're not running out of internal memory i dont believe there is a real advantage to using a2sd but the new roms have a new method implemented. I dont think you can use a2sd with stock.

Do a search for blue tooth file transfer in the market. Don't believe you need root access to use it.

You can always install apps after rooting and flashing a custom rom. You will still have market and everything. Just makes your phone better/faster. Just keep reading and you will find a huge amount of info here in these threads.

Good luck. :D
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xx12thANG3LxX:
Firerats mtd hack can fake your spl for you. So you don't have to worry about flashing danger spl and bricking. Its just what all of us old guys run. Because when we first started. There wasn't any other way for us. So read up on rooting and firerats hack and you should be good. No need for 1.33.2005 death anymore.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney_38668:
If there are other Alltel Hero users here, what is the fastest stable processor speed you're able to use. I've been using CM6 for a few weeks but I've only used the default 691 mhz setting. I've heard the Sprint Hero can be pushed a little harder than the Alltel. I'd like to hear from someone else before I try to increase. Don't really know why I want to increase, because CM6 runs great with no lag or slowdowns. Just curious I guess.

Thanks in advance -

Go to the dev section and find the sticky for Odin 1 click. That will revert your phone back to stock JF6. Read the sticky, it will tell you everything.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBadBen:
Besides a digitizer, I mean. I bought my Eris on C-list and the mic doesn't work. From disassembling instructions I've found it looks pretty straight forward to get to it, but I can't seem to find one for sale!

The rest of it works great. I've been using it basically as an ipod touch for the last 2 weeks, but my Omnia is getting OLD!

Thanks in advance for helping out a "noob".
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Captainkrtek:
Since many of the parts are very hardware specific the only place i can suggest is looking for an eris with a cracked screen for cheap and do a transplant of the parts.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
I think I saw one on Crackberry for sale.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redhooka:
This is actually a known bug iirc, the silent call bug.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBadBen:
I found some info on the silent call bug earlier and I don't think that's what I have going on here. Voice search doesn't work, but if you blow directly into the mic it seems to register that something is happening. I had no problem hearing the other person on the call either, which seems to also eliminate the silent call bug as the issue. Also, I've done numerous resets, rooted/unrooted, flashed 2 different ROMs and through it all no-one can here me talking on a call.

I really don't want to buy another broken Eris just to (hopefully) fix my broken Eris. If I didn't have an iPod touch I'd just keep the Eris, but as it is I think I'll just deal with my Omnia until upgrade time and sell the Eris on ebay(full disclosure, of course). In some ways, I actually like the Eris better than the ipod, but I'm tripping over devices here!!

Hard to believe it's impossible to just order a part and fix the thing, though...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clambert11:
Stupid question...

Is there any way to increase the base volume level on the Incredible? Listening to podcasts via the speaker phone is sometimes challenging in certain environments. I would like to be able to increase the levels if possible.

Anyone know if this is possible?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manatti:
I also would like to increase the volume on this , Bluetooth and inbound calls.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpwhitty11:
Same, but for all audio out.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whitepaint:
There was an app called LVH (Louder Volume Hack) in the market that I purchased when I had my Eris that worked PERFECTLY for this on CM5/CM6/Stock Sense. But the app doesn't appear to work on my Incredible. Which sucks Because I LOVED being able to crank the headset/bluetooth volume.. I would love to see something like this working on the inc..

!EDIT! Apparently I just didn't try enough times because I got the app working on the official OTA 2.2! The app appears to work but I do not think the volume is actualy being increased.. :( gonna try the 4.0 Beta.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurlife:
LVH Apparently Doesn't work for DINC!

Hi Guys,

Purchased the LVH from Meltus, thinking that with root, I'd have no problem using it, but while it did run, and say it had successfully pushed the proper values, it didn't seem to increase the volume. I wrote the dev, & he told me it doesn't work with the Droid Incredible :-(

His site: http://androidaudiohacks.com, does have disclaimers and info indicating the app is for earlier phones like the G1, and Saphire, and doesn't work on Droid, or branded android phones, but not clear enough for idiots like me! He also said in his reply that Google had locked access to the volume files on later phones, and so increasing the volume requires modifying the kernel.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
Incredibles are known for blowing out their own speakers. I recommend avoiding this.my speaker is a little blown just with normal use. I now play audio 2 clicks from max volume.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
I've been looking for the same thing. Took a trip a week ago and could not hear a movie with my earphones on the plane ride. I just found a new post last night in the "themes and apps" sub forum titled Audio/Equalizer. It has a this link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=783737 to a DSP equalizer you can install. You must be rooted. Works well for me with a modest gain in volume and improved sound quality. You can simply put the zip in the root directory of your sd card and use clockwork mod to install the zip. (you may have to toggle signature verification off first). Just make sure to do a Nandroid backup first in case you encounter a problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurlife:
Thanks guys! You both ROCK!

Thanks, luvit.

I didn't know about the speaker issue. My interest has been more focused on use with headphones, and in-call, which is a different speaker than the one I believe you are referring to.

I noticed the sound from the Incredible rear speaker was quite a bit higher fidelity than on other HTC phones I've owned, which may account for its being a bit more fragile, but that's just speculation. I'll be a lot more careful with it.

Thanks, marcmarshall.

That sounds like it might just do it. Thanks for the links, and instructions, too. I'll definitely give it a try, and reply back to this thread with my experience.

My best to both of you. This is just another example of why xda developer's forums totally ROCK!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbexpress:
Up until like a week ago everything was running mostly OK. Once in a while it would say it was connecting but would actually go through to voice mail. All of a sudden (before flashing Eugene's V7 ROM, so that's not the issue) it says it is connecting but does not. All the settings are correct and where they always have been, but no matter what I do it just will not work. Anyone have any insights or solutions? I am still using a pre "Even More" plan with My Faves so it's really beneficial to have this all work. Thanks to all...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dwl1:
Hi all, I'm a new user. I've recently installed Kies on my PC but to my dismay, it could not detect the the phone no matter what I did(reinstalled Kies, restarted the phone, PC..etc..):confused:

:mad:I've read that it is a crappy program, but without it, how can I update my phone firmware and sync my photos and files? Do I have to manually remove the SD card to transfer the file?

Appreciate some advice...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] totality:
My phone won't sync with Kies but thats because I am on the JM2 firmware downloaded from the web and I've read it won't sync.

On your phone, have you plugged it in and then selected "Samsung Kies" from the popup or swipedown menu?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tempott:
Let me just say don't hold your breath. I've been able to connect to my PC through Kies on and off. I've tried all the suggestions and none of them worked for me. As I said, it's completely hit and miss for me as soon as I connect the USB cable to my PC. I don't try anything different each time, it will just for what ever reason decide to connect once in a while. The problem is Samsung needs to develop a better driver. You shouldn't have to use Kies to drag stuff onto your phone. The phone should have no problem being recognized as a mass storage device. But if you don't have a driver that works all the time, then your phone doesn't even get recognized by your PC. Just one quick google on this issue will give you an idea how many people are having problems connecting to Kies/PC. This issue is too big for Samsung to ignore. I'm sure there will be an updated driver soon. :o
[Galaxy S I9000 General] doartest:
Solution to Kies problem

Hello, gizmondo.fr reported some time ago that the problem is long file extensions (over 16 characters).

You can solve it by finding and deleting all files with very long extensions from your phone. In my case, I deleted a cache of Soundhound.

I think the problem is intermittent due to the fact that the programs sometimes delete their own cache.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Guys 2 things here

if you want KiES to sync you need to run the default TwLauncher that came with the phone

if you installed another launcher you can use "Home Switcher" to change back when you want to use KiES

link here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=765081

now if you are still having trouble with KiES a great alternative is to use Android Manager via WiFi it's easy and totally painless
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Stavut:
I'm also having the same issues and I've tried countless tricks over the past 3 evenings by reading solloutions here and several other forums but without luck, I spoke to a Samsung employee and was told to try to return my unit, but I'm reluctant incase I can make it work cause otherwise I'll have to re-order screen protectors etc (I suck at putting them on and I managed to make it perfect for a change!). So hehe long story short! A list of possible remedies would be nice, another thing also, is that Android Wifi Manager a good replacement for Kies? as in being able to put on official samsung updates etc. (Even though I read countless posts about Odin I still have not the guts to try out anything outside of direct updates through the samsung apps).

The stuff I tried is as follows

1. Change USB settings so that it is not default to kies but ask on connect.

2. Mount/Unmount Internal SD card prior to connecting the device. (No external SD card installed)

3. Format internal SD Card.

4. Reset to default factory settings.

5. Reinstall Kies from a different source file (running latest version if someone can post a link of the supposedly working older version would be great!)

6. Run all the USB modes as I noticed it installs some drivers on the various options.

7. Remove the modem through device manager and reinstall it.

8. Remove Samsung Drivers and reinstall them.

9. Install the microsoft mobile center (mobile drivers)

10. Remove the drivers and re-apply the Samsung ones from a samsung.sg site posted here on site.

11. Tried various USB slots on the computer.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Edited: Also tried the regedit trick not sure I did it right but Regedit --> DeviceDB --> the one where there is a value of 1 I deleted.

Edited 2: I downloaded an older version (1.5.0.10024_74) and installed it after uninstalling the most recent version, and now I get bsod everytime I try to launch Kies. Agitation levels rising hehe...

It is pointless waiting for it if it does not connect within a minute, just unplug it and try again, like people said, Kies is very 'hit and miss'
[Galaxy S I9000 General] padlad:
The one time i have had a major problem with Kies, it was doing the exact same thing, the problem is some cache, or other file on your internal sd card that Kies does not like. I just went through the files and deleted the cache files and a couple of others and eventually i deleted the correct one and Kies started to work again.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] koukla:
Hey guys, I just registered to suggest you try the only fix that solved my connection problems.

I tried reinstalling drivers and formatting the internal SD multiple times with no success until i inserted my gf's micro sd card from her phone. Windows 7 automatically installed new drivers from the Galaxy and connected back up as normal. I disconnected the usb then removed the external SD after unmounting and has worked fine ever since.

Before you go returning your phones i suggest you uninstall all associated drivers and borrow a microSD.

Yeah it definitely progressed from my early screens of the notification bar, that's for sure.

I have converted to CM6 as well seeing as my theme looks much better on CM6 imo. I love the themed Sense widgets but I can't have the best of both worlds (well, maybe I kind of can with LauncherPro, but it's not the same).

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Did you try rebooting to see if the colors changed?

In regard to the 3G and signal bar icons, I'll see what I can do to make them stick out more. It was difficult to do because those particular icons are wider than other ones and I had to make it fit in the rounded box. I didn't think it was that bad though I mean I can see it pretty clearly =/

EDIT: I think that what I will do for the engraved 3G icons is to move the arrows beneath 3G and make "3G" larger

Seriously, if you're on CM6, the settings are all under Settings > CyanogenMod Settings > User Interface > Notifications Colors <-- that's what you want to mess with. To change the clock text from black to white, click Status Bar under the User Interface section of CyanogenMod Settings.

It took me some time to get it how I wanted it...but it's not difficult once you mess with the settings and read what's there. Just remember, you need to reboot for the changes to take place. I really don't know how much more specific I can be - hope you get it how you want it.
