Hey there,

I'm looking to create a custom ROM, based on a stock ROM. The only additions to the custom ROM would be the addition of a few apps in the /system/app/ folder (so they couldn't easily be deleted).

After the custom ROM is pushed to the phone, will it be the ROM that is used when a Factory Data Reset is performed?

This is all for a demo phone, so I'd like to be able to reset it back to my custom ROM every morning.

Thanks

breon

Hey everyone!! Well I am new to the forums and the HTC HD2 and smartphones for that matter. I am not knew to computers, but I'm kinda afraid to fool around too much with it blindly cause I don't want to break my brand new phone. Things I would specifically like info on would be the following.

1. Flash Support - Basically I like to watch a lot of streaming content online, and the Opera browser isn't loading my videos. So lately I've just been downloading them and watching them on the player. I would like to watch them straight from the site so I can have access to them without pre-loading them everyday. I only watch them off one site if you need specifics, and I'll provide my site later since I'm not aloud to as a new user. I know about Skyfire Browser, but for some reason the browser doesn't go into landscape mode.

2. WiFi Hotspot applications - Are there any free apps that allow me turn the phone into a hot spot? If so what would you recommend?

3. Is there a way to customize the boot screen when you power your phone on and off? I'm not digging the T-Mobile pink stuff.

Other then those three I'll slowly found out thing I would want to improve my experience with my phone. Right now those are my major ones. The flash one especially. Well hope to receive some feedback and thank you.

Hi,

Just rooted my Galaxy S, applied 1 click lag fix and installed JuiceDefender (premium)....

Now, can anyone tell me which rom I need so that I can enable the 2g/3g toggle and the CPU manager options on Juicedefender?

I'm on JM2 Firmware btw.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chronosbunny:
currently using dxjg4. Able to choose GSM(2G), WCDMA(3G), or both. Is this what you looking for?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahagon Coral:
Also curious to know the answer for this one...

I remember having a 2G/3G toggle somewhere in the settings, but that must have been one of the JG firmwares or something older I guess...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkstriker:
Not really. The only firmwares that have the 2g/3g toggle are the froyo firmwares. The option of course still exists and you can find it in the faq but it isn't a brilliant fix.

I have no idea about juice defender though. Maybe it needs a modified kernel? I suppose you should write to juice defender support for this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntos:
Me interested also in 2G/3G switch but also in CPU scaling, I was under the impression that JM2 supports this (as SetCPU somehow worked...) ?

I am using Amon-Ra 1.6.2, and i want to get Froyo on my G1.

Can I still get it if i keep 1.6.2?

You are more then likely gonna need danger/death SPL as well, of you don't already have it.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcoder:
This information is ABSOLUTELY FALSE. You DO NOT need deathspl, and in fact, there are FAR FAR better ways of gaining EVEN MORE internal storage than what is offered by deathspl. Look for the "MTD" threads in the dev forum. They can gain you up to about 30 MB MORE free space than deathspl.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxomus:
Caps...come on now.

What ever, not getting baited into an argument or anything, but it's kinda odd, if you go check the requirements for the majority of the roms they pretty much all have one thing in common...hmm danger/death spl. Yeah,yeah,yeah there are several ways to achieve more space, but if a dev says danger spl is a prerequisite to flashing his rom, which the majority do... Im not the guy that's gonna yell out in caps about it and tell people its bs and tell them to use a nonrecommened method...

Sent from my phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
... let the people decide, if they want to install the risky DangerSPL or if they want to go with the MTD-method, but give them at least the information, that there are other, most likely better ways.

Only my 2 cent.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxomus:
Heh, yeah, call me old fashioned, I just like to use the good old standards & its really not risky as long as you know how to follow directions, but yeah anything with "danger" or "death" in the title you should take with caution...

its the oddest thing though, these forums have an amazing amount of information in them if people would just do a little searching... ;)

Sent from my phone.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raven_raven:
Requirements for ROMs were written before MTD was invented. Devs are reffering to Haykuro SPL because of need for space - MTD gives you SAME result. Of course, engeneering SPL gives you some pros like ability to flash radio from fastboot or other great features, but if you not interested in that kind of changes - you can flash 2 zips without any risk of brick and you're good to go, you have either more space at /system and far more space on /data for your apps.

Clay has been doing excellent work since last year, he made great donut,eclair, and know froyo rom(s). Im using his right now and it blows away CM6 by a long shot. It feels much smoother and everything feels like it should. Plus its easy on the eyes too. :)
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endolith:
CM6 is super slow and crappy on my G1, so I'm looking for another Froyo ROM. Now that I've already installed DangerSPL, can I safely run ROMs that don't require it? Does it just clear some extra space? Is DeathSPL different from DangerSPL?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
They are the same, but you will have difficulties to find a FroYo ROM which is not based on CM6 ...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endolith:
If it's "based on" CM6, but runs faster and more reliably by making stuff leaner or support swap, apps2sd, etc, then that would be fine.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epidemike:
I know I am not the first one to think of this but I was wondering if anyone is aware of development of a remote control/keyboard app for use with the PS3 and 360 (wii gets no love)? I would love to have the functionality of using my phone for both devices at home.

I was playing around with a remote play option on the PS3 and app called BD remote but it doesnt seem to pair the two. I got the idea after downloading pocket blu app and I was able control Inglorious Basterds via wifi. That in of itself was cool but I craved more control.

I dont write code so Im of no help here. I could try but I dont think that will be fruitful.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
This should probably be in Q&A or Apps section, so try posting there next time.

As for your question, it would be virtually impossible on the 360. The 360 doesn't use bluetooth or wifi, and it would be virtually impossible to have a server application running on it anyway. Maybe if you hacked your 360, added wifi and did a lot of jerryrigging, you'd get it to work. PS3 uses both bluetooth and wifi, but I don't know if its possible to port applications to it without hacking. Again, I think the real challenge is to run some sort of server on the device. The app for your phone is easy, the server side would be really tricky. Don't have a PS3, so I don't know much about it, but 360 is definitely out.

Full error message: Failed flashing process. phone(0000) Phone is not compatable with multi-interface super-file. (ox703b): phone connected

This is information only hopefully for someone who experienced the same issue that I did.

Long story short, I ended up boot looping my X by replacing a system file through Root Explorer and not setting the permissions properly before. Going into a panic, I started gathering the files to re-flash 2.1. When I tried to run RSD, I received the above error message. I tried different versions of RSD, different "gifts", different computers and operating systems. I hit google and was unable to find anything to help. I ended up returning my phone to Wal*Mart and got a new one (told them it bricked during an OTA update...)

After sending some messages to rootzwiki and alldroid for some help, I found that it was because the battery was not at 50% or higher (which makes sense because I let the phone loop for a couple hours disconnected from the PC in HOPES that it would come back). I'm not saying this may be the fix for all issues with the above error message, but it may be something else to try if you have tried everything and just about pulled your hair out...

Hope this helps!
[Droid X Android Development] will2live:
FYI the only version of RSD Lite that will work with the X is veriosn 4.7, but you also have to have the OMAP patch file installed otherwise it will still not work. That said I'm not sure which version you tried or if you had it setup correctly but that could be why you wer having issues also besides the battery not being charged enough.
[Droid X Android Development] inzandity:
I started with 4.7 and worked backwards with RSD. I have been able to flash my second X with the same config settings on 4.7. The only thing that changed was the charge on the battery
[Droid X Android Development] ropester:
Where can I find the omap patch file is it the ini file located in the rdslite 4.7+patch.zip? Im getting the same error above but my battery is 96% full. This is happening on two differnt Windows 7 32 bit machines..

Never mind it is the patch and its now restoring.

since the phone is unbranded, the voda rom won't work since it is checking for a voda locked rom.

[Captivate Accessories] Aftashok:
perfect case for me, as im a big fan of the TPU cases in cases in general, had some for my Blackberry before i bought my Captivate.... the cutouts for the charger port/headphone jack/speaker/camera are all perfect, the case fits snug, volume and power buttons arent restricted at all. the case doesnt add much bulk, and the TPU material adds a sure grip on the device.

only dislike i have is the color, i ordered Blue and i thought itd be more of a royal blue, rather than the almost turquoise-ish color that i received. no bother though, ive already put in an order today for the smoke gray.
[Captivate Accessories] tysj:
Looks great. Waiting for pictures of the smoke grey one when that comes in :) . Big fan of these type of cases but I'd prefer a simple black/dark grey without patterns.
[Captivate Accessories] cheerup38:
Are the Power/Volume buttons covered or opened?
[Captivate Accessories] Aftashok:
they're covered, but they're not restricted at all.... they press just as well as if they weren't covered.
[Captivate Accessories] pmpntl:
How's the overall fit? Loose? There are reviews on vibrant amzer cases on amazon and they say they fit loose.
[Captivate Accessories] Ryukeima:
Thanks for the pictures. Looks like a great case except I can't get over the pattern... it makes me sad. Is it too much to ask for a plain black or plain clear tpu case without funky patterns?
[Captivate Accessories] han.azuki:
yeah argyle is so 90s
[Captivate Accessories] reno55:
I just ordered the lime green version of this
[Captivate Accessories] Aftashok:
nah, mine isnt loose at all. no real give to it in the least bit.

yeah, i wish there was a clear one, but i was waiting for a tpu case from the time i bought the phone so i went ahead and bought this one. hopefully someone comes with a clear one soon though.
[Captivate Accessories] beazie0885:
What is tpu? Hard or soft, or both? Just wondering because i have a clear plastic case over the phantomskinz white chromatics carbon fiber skin, and lets just say its a tight squeeze. I just ordered a clear gel case from mr. hit and I don't think its gonna cooperate with my belt pouch very well. Something like this IMO would look great over the white chromatics skin. I know it sounds like overkill but I am a freak about protection as I resell all of my old phones to party for the new ones.
[Captivate Accessories] Aftashok:
TPU is a medium between hard and soft.... its a plastic, a rather firm plastic, but it bends|flexes|gives, but always retains its elasticity - no matter how many times you might put it on and take it off of your phone, itll never get loose and worn, messing up its fit on the device. also does a decent job of shock absorption in the event of drops.
[Captivate Accessories] beazie0885:
Cool thanks. Wondering now if it will fit well over the chromatics
[Captivate Accessories] evosky:
i'd like one of those but in a dark purple or black
[Captivate Accessories] illestChronicle:
I love this case because it's different than the usual Body Glove case from AT&T that everybody has. I got the clear one and it is a little grippier than the Body Glove case but I like having that extra grip in the hand.
[Captivate Accessories] robinkiefer:
Great TPU Case for Captivate

I bought purple, green and hot pink for my Cappy. I love these. They fit the phone perfectly. No loseness. But easy enough to remove to switch out colors. I wasn't that wild about the argyle pattern either but this is the only TPU type case which is what I had and loved on my iPhone. TPU material is good for gripping but slides in and out of your pocket easily unlike silicone.
[Captivate Accessories] robinkiefer:
I bought the purple and it's a real nice shade.

[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
No black? WTF
[Captivate Accessories] dowenprs:

Seems pretty nice, doesn't add a whole lot of bulk, i'm not wild aboot the pattern, but it's not that noticeable in person.

Peace

Dan
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
Thanks very much Dan! Excellent!

Two questions:

1 - it appears that the case has an indent for the inlaid batt cover panel. True?

2 - is it also true that the power/volume buttons are covered with button 'extenders'?

Great pictures, I'm pretty much sold. Only thing I might wait for are images of the $3 eBay one that looks identical (although I'm almost sure its garbage).
[Captivate Accessories] dowenprs:
Yeah, if i understand you correctly it does have an indention for the battery cover, so the battery cover is shallower that the top and bottom by just a bit. The case fits great.

Yes, the volume and power buttons are covered up. It is a little bit odd, but im getting used to it, just have to press them a bit harder.

Overall it seems to be a solid case, the pattern is as bad as i thought it would be either, don't notice it all that much.

Peace

Dan
[Captivate Accessories] illestChronicle:
Well after a while the clear case has started to become a little yellowish-blue; I think because of being in my pocket....maybe I should get a smoked one?

Nope not yet. I bought the Realook ones from Amazon but have yet to put it on. And I have a Canon PowerShot SD780 IS
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
I received my ebay 'knock off' version about three days ago. This is the BEST phone case I have ever seen. Its the perfect texture. Not so sticky to get stuck in your pocket, but will stay put if placed on a dashboard or on your knee. the absolute best fit I've seen. Fit to the point that its a bit difficult to get on/off. The pattern isn't really noticeable (I got the smoke grey one) which is good since I'n not too crazy about it, and the phone is still impressively thin compared to its size.

I also didn't go for the "buy it now" on ebay. I bid and waited for the auction to finish. It was a dollar cheaper than the buy it now. Total cost: $3.99, value: I'd say about $12 would be reasonable for this case...

[Captivate Accessories] norcal einstein:
I really want to pick up an Amzer case, but I just wish they would come out with a plain grey/smoke color, or black. I am really NOT a fan of the patterning.
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
The "smoke grey" case is a good option for you. I didn't go with a plain black one because it just looked too cheap for a phone like this. I too am not a fan of the pattern (AT ALL), but its very hard to see. You have to be looking at it in direct or bright light for it to be easily visible. And when you do see it, it looks nicer than I expected. The "galaxy S" logo also shines through just the right amount to make it stand out. I must say that it is a very slick case. the phone feels higher quality with the case on rather than off. Thats a lot to say for a $4 case...
[Captivate Accessories] roadrash7:
I have this case i love it. Doesnt stretch out or collect dust. Looks sweet too
