[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
I tried the 2.1 RUU It is an .exe and I was told I needed HTC sync to run it. I installed HTC sync and it would not run.

How do I run the "RUU_Incredible_C_Froyo_VERIZON_WWE_3.21.605.1_Radio_2.15.00.07.28_2k4k_NV_1.50_PRL58006_release_143351_signed.exe?

I installed htc sync, got it running, plugged in my phone, chose htc sync option, then tried to run the .exe

I'll try again now on another machine.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
I can extract the stock recovery and other files out of the ruu.exe file but what do I do with it. In only need the boot loader. As I said I have stock ROM and s-on.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Damn. I titles this thread wrong. I have s-on and stock rom, I need stock recovery. I also need to get this done before I leave town. I'm going to post the question with a proper title for the thread. My apology and moderater please remove this thread.

Resolved

Problem solved with the PB13img file provided with Diego Mejia's 2nd video. Worked perfectly. Did not even have to do all the adb pushing of sys files since I never put in the leaked OTA. His file version was just accepted by hboot. Awesome!
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balistardrake:
I understand android has its own way to manage apps. If they aren't being used, android will automatically close them.

Sometimes, though, android (at least mine) is stupid. For example, if I don't have the music app open, it will close and stop playing.

I'd like to explicitly force apps like IM apps or google voice or my music app to never close. Is there a way to do this?
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy7:
nice question...

I don't mean to spam, but I will bump this until someone answers, 'cuz I've got the same question.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gchat:
Well you have to increase the priority of the apps you don't want to close. An easy way to that is by using the "Auto Memory Manager" application.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salahunreal:
I've used EX launcher once and it has that feature of locking the apps you want in memory and the task manager will not be able to close them most of the time.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2927524:
quite important question indeed.

i managed to get lower OOM associated to particular applications, such as GO SMS and ADW launcher, which are 2 fundamental apps for me.

fortunatelly i did not have any problems with music player and training session recording apps. using Laszlos' ROM, ADW lancher and GO SMS had a great combination of quite stable system.

so i guess you have to find the best components:D

to tell the thruth i do hate application handling of android
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harryw86:
Hi,

Three (sorry I edited) things I need help with:

1 - Is there a way of increasing the max number of recipients of messages from 10 to a larger number?

2 - At some point I came across an options menu which allows you to configure how far back in time to download your emails. I think it's set to 1 or 2 weeks by default but you can extend this significantly. I regret not changing it when I came across it because, despite spending near to an hour searching for the same menu, I can not find it again.

3 - I seem not to be able to search my music collection. Is there any third party music player (preferably free) that has this function?

Any help you can offer will be much appreciated. I have searched the forums for solutions but have failed. If the answer is out there I'd appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction.

Many thanks,

Harry

1 - HKLM/software/jatayu/messaging maxrecipients

2 - email tab, inbox, menu, tools, options, pick the account you want to edit, edit account setup, click next about 5 times bottom dropdown.

3 - dunno
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wacky.banana:
For changing the maximum recipients you might be better off installing a tool called BSB Tweaks (can be found here on XDA) which is pretty user friendly.

There again if you are happy to tweak the registry, do as the previous poster advises.:)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bec07:
Are you sure it's not working with JPC?

Does it drain due to missed call/message or because of the background process?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I'm absolutely sure that this modification will not work with Android 2.2 until Samsung will release their sources for 2.6.32 kernel. Hopefully they will release the sources soon after the official release of Android 2.2 for i9000.

There is a wakelock in the driver, to avoid that the backlight controller will be disabled while the phone is suspending.

BUT that means that a full/deep suspend is suppressed and the battery drains a lot faster. Only screen and touch input is disabled.

This should motivate you to react faster on a notification... :)

If you dont have a notification, the phone can do a full suspend and the battery last longer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RyanZA:
Technically cool... but this limitation makes it useless for everyday use for now. Hopefully someone can figure it out. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
It drains battery less than NoLed, because the amoled screen is completely powered off.

And it is more reliable than NoLed, if the applications support led notification.

At the moment you can only choose between this solution and NoLed, both have their disadvantages...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Does this blink the backlight's or keep em on ? Just wondering before i give it a shot. Also could you give a rough idea as to how much it affects battery life ? (% perhaps).

I mean if all it does is blink the backlight for say once every 10seconds, i doubt its a huge battery loss :S
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
It turns the backlights only on.

Flashing backlights may be a feature for a future release.

With enabled backlight the battery lasts around 36 hours.

If no notification is ongoing, battery life is normal.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Wow nice.

Would "flashing backlight" be hard to implement ? Would it require an intermediary android app to send calls ?

Just wondering.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Only flashing is not so hard, but to safe some battery life while backlights are off is hard.

Android needs around 200ms to suspend and another 200ms to resume.

And switching repeatedly between suspend/resume state could drain the battery even more, if it is not done right.

Samsung removed the led notification from their touchwiz phone app.

I dont know why they did that. It would not hurt anyone, if they had not removed it....

So call notification could be done by an additional intermediary app or by replacing the touchwiz phone app with the aosp phone app.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rpritch:
I applied the update as described. Unfortunately, it bricked my phone. I can hear the Samsung start-up sound, but the screen doesn't come on. Any ideas?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Daneshm90:
Please refrain from using the word "brick" its very misleading.

A kernel cannot brick ur phone.

Just flash the backup image on ur sdcard this script creates.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Do you have a lagfix installed?

If yes and the lagfix requires a specific kernel, in that case you should flash that specific kernel.

Otherwise use this stock-samsung android 2.1 kernel with Odin:

http://www.multiupload.com/G5P9BUF2Q7 (md5: f87e6badf3eedac00e57eb43695cde07)

Put your phone into download mode:

Press "Vol Down" + "menu button" + "power button" together, for at least 6 seconds, until download screen appears.

Start Odin and connect your phone to the pc.

Select the appropriate pit file for your firmware and select Kernel_i9000_android_2.1_stock.tar for PDA in Odin.

DONT check "Re-partion".

Click "Start" to begin flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rpritch:
sorry about that...ive already tried to reflash my firmware and I still have a blank screen...the indicator light stay on. How do I access the backup image?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] anamika:
Cannot open update.zip (bad)....what does this message mean?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
That means the file got corrupted, you should download it again and copy it again to /sdcard/. Delete the old update.zip in /sdcard/ before that. I have added md5 sums to the first post.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
This is so nice...

I wish curio's voodoo magic was finished and public, so every kernel can be patched, so users wouldnt need to make choice...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
The mod got an update, it is now more compatible with lagfixes.

I recommend you to update to v0.9.1 beta, if you are on v0.9 beta.

CLagFix 1.80 is tested and compatible.

OneClick LagFix should also work, but i have not tested it yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] LevitateJay:
Would it be possible for a youtube video or screenshots of this in action? I don't understand what this would actually look like
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I dont have a camera to take a photo or make a film.

If some one else could do that, i would appreciate that.

So let me try to explain what it does:

If you get, for example, a sms from your friend on your phone with an unmodified samsung-firmware, you will be noticed only by an icon in the notification bar.

This mod allows now every app to activate the backlights (the two led lights under menu and back button) for notifications.

If you now get a sms on your phone the backlights will be activated while the screen is powered off and this is the signal that you should have a look at your phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] :
Dude, you are so cool!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lsevald:
Thanks! The froyo beta works great here!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] eitama:
Ha Ha!!!

Thanks buddy, will test it later.

BTW, i flashed JPA (2.2) with 512.pit, Why do i need 803.pit with the kernel, and how will this cope with voodoo 5 for 2.2 when it comes out?

Thanks mate.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
If you flashed froyo with 512 pit, then you should also use 512 pit to flash bln-zImage.

Voodoo beta5 will require a seperate bln release with the voodoo-lagfix ramdisk included.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] legolegolego123:

Which version do you use?

Edit: i guess you are using the froyo beta. Well thats a lttle bug, thx for reporting that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] legolegolego123:
Im using xxjpm kernel 2.6.32.9 backlightnotification@neldar #21

is correct or ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lsevald:
The latest froyo beta breaks the recovery mode on my phone (running JP6 and CF Root v1.2). I get some "pixel noise/snow" during bootup(for a split second), and when entering recovery mode I get 6 errors:

E:Missing bitmap indeterminate1 (Code-7)

E:Missing bitmap indeterminate2 (Code-7)

E:Missing bitmap indeterminate3 (Code-7)

E:Missing bitmap indeterminate4 (Code-7)

E:Missing bitmap indeterminate5 (Code-7)

E:Missing bitmap indeterminate6 (Code-7)

And when trying to apply update.zip (any file) it just hangs during "Finding update package..."

Otherwise everything seems to work fine, and flashing back CF Root v1.2 restores recovery mode again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vinnie8018:
Is this based on the JP6 Kernel?

I have JP6 installed and would like to get the BLN function, incidentally it seems to patch OK on the z4mod for native ext file systems...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Meister_Li:
Yaay, awesome! Backlight-Notification is coming to froyo! :D Still waiting for a voodoo-compatible version, as soon as voodoo is out, but thanks for investing the time to do this! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Recovery mode will work again in beta2, i forgot to replace those bitmap-/png-files.

About the "pixel noise/snow", i noticed that too. It is caused by old kernel modules, that will be fixed in beta2.

Well, this kernel includes ext4, but i dont know what the z4mod does in detail.

Maybe it is not compatible, i will try to have look at the z4mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] emlo16:
I have the same. JP6 without LagFix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
This kernel will work with JP6, JPM and all other froyo firmwares.

Beta 2 is finished:

If you are on bln_1.1.0 (beta1), then i recommend an update.

i9000_BacklightNotification_v1.1.3_beta.tar (beta2)

chancelog:

fixed: backlight notification broken in sleep mode

fixed: recovery broken

fixed: pixel noise/snow during boot

At the moment i am modifying the install process, shall i remove the installation of su,superuser.apk and busybox?

z4mod should work, i had a look at it, happy testing. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lsevald:
Thanks! Beta 2 fixed the two bugs I experienced :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] legolegolego123:
the new one works n11111

thyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vinnie8018:
Super, does that mean theres support for ext2 and ext3 too?

FYI z4mod adds support for ext2/3/4 to the kernel so that a script can change the /system and /data partitions to one of those file systems. Rather than what most of the lag fixes are doing - mounting ext2 within the RFS or on some other place such as an SD card.

I will give beta 2 a flash and see if the z4mod scripts work their magic and report back. If it works thats everything I needed on my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Only Ext2 and Ext4 is supported.

And i have additionally included tun support.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] xan:
Good news it could be still running in Froyo!

Thank you!

Do you happen to know if I need to patch this kernel additionally for z4mod scripts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Vinnie8018:
It does need patching for z4mod to run. Website doesnt currently do the patch, break out the linux box!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] maitokeul:
aWeSoMe, thanks again neldar !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
The battery usage is the same as in v1.0 for eclair.

edit:

The battery consumption is not significant, you dont have to worry that the battery would be empty after one night.

In fact compared to other available notification solutions, the battery usage is very very low. ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] SHS2000:
Thenks neldar its works great .
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Meister_Li:
Hey nedlar! Great work so far, I'm really looking forwards to trying this out on wednesday. :) But! Do you think you could combine this with the optimised Kernel compiled here? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=811660 Thanks a lot! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] drowne:
In my opinion the best thing would be comining this with the new vodoo kernel...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bajo76:
... and z4mod.

Just tried the BLN-kernel with z4mod and it is not working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
LOL @ super optimized kernel.

I already included all the optimizations (listed in that thread) without mentioning it in that pompous manner.

That's my opinion, too. I will release a build with voodoo when its done.

Well, z4mod should work if you first flash the bln kernel with odin/heimdall and then flash the bln kernel patched with z4mod.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Meister_Li:
Heh, I see. Clever, clever. ;) Well, there seems to be a working version of Voodoo for Froyo now. That combined with the BacklightNotification-Mod would be amazing! ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Not all changes are reverted. The lights.default.so in /system/lib/hw/ will stay. But Bln wont work, because it does only work with a modified kernel.

kindly help... btw. i looked inside the "update.zip" it contains superuser. or can i just change the existing update.zip to another name?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tonymy01:
If you have a stock recovery, you must name any update as update.zip, so rename the one you aren't using. If you use a different recovery, e.g. clockworkmod, then you can choose which zip file to upgrade with (zips in root of /sdcard), and so you won't need to rename.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jgclifton:
Would just like to confirm one or two things before using this.

- It will work fine with 2.1 JF3?

- I don't need root?

- Having this installed will not effect updating to Froyo when it's released? Or will I need to disable before I update?

If anyone could answer these it would be much appreciated.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nirvana388:
Hello,

Love this mod, thanks very much for the hard work! I am having one problem. When I set my ringer to vibrate mode my notifications no longer vibrate the phone, only incoming calls do. This did not happen prior to the mod. To get any sort of vibration now from receiving an email or IM I have to go into each program's settings and select vibrate.

Any ideas? I'm running JH2 on an I9000M
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
BLN does not do any changes to the vibrate function, did you install any app just before or after using bln?

Edit: just to be sure, what bln version do you have installed?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nirvana388:
I havn't installed any apps around that time, I've using w/e version was prior to 1.6.

On another note, now I'm trying to update my phone with the 1.6 version and my recovery cannot open the zip file. I tried it on my phone and on a friend's who was stock and neither will work with the zip from the 1.6 that you just posted.

Edit ~ I'm using the stock recovery, in case you were going to ask.

Also, I noticed since updating with BLN my phone now shows a GT-I9000M logo initially then switches to GT-I9000
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Did you re-download the update.zip for 1.6 and tried again?

I wonder why that is not reported by anybody else.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nirvana388:
Ok, I have no idea what was happening last night but I just re downloaded it and applied and it worked fine this time.

Edit ~I'm still concerned by this vibrate mode problem though, I know it was working fine before this mod. Also you mentioned that this mod doesn't work by default with missed calls as Samsung does not use the stock android notifier for incoming calls. This seems to further prove that the mod is what has changed it as now incoming calls are the only thing that vibrates my phone in silent mode. All apps that use the default notification system no longer vibrate the phone when silent mode is enabled.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
I checked that and i can not reproduce that.

What happens if you factory-reset?

I think it's a application/software problem, something (not related to bln) is mis-configured.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nirvana388:
I'm assuming that wipes my apps and personal data?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
Of course, thats what it is supposed to do. ;)

You could back up that data, for example by Titanium.

edit: but before you restore your data test the vibrate function and then restore the apps one by one, so you can avoid to reintroduce that issue without knowing which app that may have caused.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Nirvana388:
I doubt that is necessary as I hadn't installed any apps when this happened, just the mod, but I will give the reset a try.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] neldar:
It is your decision what you are going to do.

I said it is not related to the mod and have to be something else.

So you are free to remove BLN and see what happens, removal-update.zip is in first post.

Or you back up your apps +data and do a factory-reset. Then you could test the vibrate function, if the issue is gone after factory-reset and then you could, of course, restore all your apps within one batch and hopefully the issue does not re-introduce.
