you need 960x800 wallpaper because of the way the wallpaper moves along each tab.

Just take your 480x800 wallpaper, and use photoshop (or paint.net or something) to expand the canvas to 960x800, leaving your original wallpaper in the middle.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kjeong3514:
YES! got it. For anyone who is wondering how to do it, resize the picture to be 1440x800. after, make the selection box as wide as you can and center the picture as best as you can. you may have to experiment a few times because you can get a strip of white from the empty border if it is not 100% centered. Because of this, i make the box SLIGHTLY smaller then maximum size.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kjeong3514:
Alright, not to be annoying, but the quality goes down by a lot when i fix the images. can this be prevented?

So basically this disables the reflow of text when zooming in the browser. I don't notice a difference in smooth zooming, both on and off it looks the same to me. The difference like I said is reflow of text. I like that function so I will have to leave the setting as off.
[EVO 4G General] ms79723:
it works great, but you have to keep on going into debug mode to use it
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Doesn't bring up a menu.. I get a java toolbox. Running fresh.
[EVO 4G General] hdad2:
This does prevent the reflow of text, but it does fix one annoyance I've had since i got the EVO.

In a modern smartphone browser, the page should follow your fingers as you zoom. So where ever you touch on the page should follow your fingers as you spread/close them. This means that if one finger stays still and the other one moves, the page should stay put under the finger that hasn't moved. This is the way other browsers work and it helps to zoom so that you can expand the page and keep it centered where you want to see. The EVO browser does not work this way. Try it and see. Keep one finger still and the page will still move under the still finger. Grr.. You have to zoom then let go and recenter on the area of interest. However, checking this option makes the zoom work properly this way. This is at the cost of reflowing the text, which I rather like though. So its a tough call which way I would like more.

Anyhow, thanks OP. Nice find
[EVO 4G General] joshpdavis80:
After doing the fix, does anyone have the problem of it reverting back to the old style, even if the box is checked?

[EVO 4G General] superlinkx:
Typing about:debug will not pop up anything. It will add new menus in settings.

The changes you do in the debug menu are temporary. The browser goes back to normal settings after its been closed.

Just for interested people, I have compiled cifs.ko and nls_utf8.ko from US version SGHI897 kernel (from samsung opensource website). This package has been tested under JF6, (out-of-box settings, but rooted). Key notes:

0. mount with -o iocharset=utf8, -t cifs

1. use "busybox" to do "mv or cp or mount or umount"

2. use direct "#" prompt to do "insmod"

3. better use GScript after you have tested these ko's
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about, other than it means someone's gonna come up with SOMETHING new to play with here....... =)
[Captivate Android Development] hiway123:
coz, from searching the forum, there is no cifs and utf8 support for captivate. The first is used when using captivate to mount remote windows share folders. In other words, you can use rockplayer on captivate to browser media files on windows desktop. For some reasons, there could be encoding problem to view these media files' names, such as asian characters. Then the second one is needed.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
I can definitely see why UTF8 is important, though I have no idea what to do with these files to be honest. also, linux-based system that doesn't support UTF8, really?
[Captivate Android Development] hiway123:
Don't quite understand your meaning, sorry. But anyway, just for interested people...
[Captivate Android Development] pb1866:
the module works great thanks for your effort.
[Captivate Android Development] tucxforever:
network pimp... android novice.

hiway123, i pulled down your make of cifs.ko; loaded it in a network folder on my ext sdcard, but am not sure what to do now. (insmod, etc)

I attempted a few mount commands, and a few other linux norm paths, but I think I am lost here. Can you give a 1, 2, step of how to run the mount command? your post was rather cryptic. (i know i know, for the interested only! well definitely interested...)

*Note* I downloaded this nifty app: CIFSmanager app from the market, and it is open enough that it allows for the user to direct path for the cifs module (insmod path) to the file you compiled (again which is now on my sdcard) it seemed to be happy with it, but gave me some other error I believe had something to do with it not being root. (phone is rooted, have several apps with root level access... however haven't yet figured out how to run certain individual apps as root, that don't automatically try to obtain root access. blah blah blah, another project.)

anyhoot - i would love to be able to mount a vfs on this bird! had the captivate for about a month and love'n it! I got tons of media I'd like to stream over the network and found a few nice apps (ARCmedia / rocket, etc.) that i tested (direct copy to sd) and played my .flv files just fine! :-D

now all i need to do it trick the system into thinking my network paths are mounted resources. (Everything else works well, I can access network shares, view pictures, docs, standard video that the default video player can play fine.) So next step is to learn what YOU know.

sorry for the long post! - th x:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] hiway123:
I have a samba server in LAN, say at 192.168.1.1. So, I do these steps:

1. unzip my package to your computer, there are two ko files. Then use USB cable to transfer these two files to your phone in /sdcard folder.

2. on the phone, I used "terminal emulator", run "su" into root mode, make new folders like "busybox mkdir /system/lib/modules", you may try other directory name, I don't think that does a matter. Move the two ko files from /sdcard to this newly created folder, remember to use "busybox mv" command.

3. create a mount point on your phone, "mkdir /sdcard/smb" for example. or "busybox mkdir" I cannot remember.

4. insert modules, using "insmod /system/lib/modules/cifs.ko" and "insmod /system/lib/modules/nls_utf8.ko", remember these commands must be run everytime after you reboot your phone, so I use Gscript to create a shortcut, it's very convenient.

5. mount server's samba share folder in the phone, using "busybox mount -t cifs //192.168.1.1/your_share_folder /sdcard/smb -v -o user=yourusername,pass=yourpasswd,iocharset=utf8".

6. now, you can use rockplayer to browse into /sdcard/smb on your phone to view what is shared.

7. It is better to umount your folder once you finish transferring files. Then simply do "busybox umount /sdcard/smb".

Actually, only commands 5-7 are needed after your first attempt. Of course, if you have not done step 4 after a reboot, you need to do that step as well. I use Gscript in market to create shortcuts to these 4-7 commands. That's more convenient instead of typing on such small screen.
[Captivate Android Development] juxtyce:
Have you tried this with any of the Custom ROMs in this section? If so, which ones work? Can you tell me how to compile a CIFS.KO?

Can it be compiled against the ROMs supplied here?

Thanks in advance,
[Captivate Android Development] ootz0rz:
Freaking brilliant, was exactly what I was looking for...thanks OP! :)

*edit*

Should mention, I used the posted .KO with stock rogers rom (i896) and it seems to be working flawlessly from my testing so far. I've even been able to stream some lower bitrate HD video and have it run smoothly and consistantly :)
[Captivate Android Development] Yuna:
insmod: init_module '/system/lib/modules/cifs.ko' failed (Exec format error)

i use SetiroN's kernel... and I9000 Froyo - maybe that is the reason?

Id assume that the kernel you are using isn't compatible and the module will have to be compiled for it.

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drzfr3shboialex:
I would personally would change or improve the following;

*Make the screen 3.7 inches with Super AMOLED(yes I know samsung has it exclusivley for 18 months)

*Change the processor to 1ghz(same as the g2's but instead of 800mhz, 1ghz)

*HSPA+ Device

*4/8 gb of internal storage there are a lot of complaints about storage problems, and I am one of them

*8mp camera

*Sense UI without the bubbles, and less customized, like philblur, but htc sense style

*Louder speakers

*DIVX support

*Make the phone feel more high quality,in other words not plastic-y

How about you guys?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pnguyen5:
Well, as with everything else out there, the Mytouch 3G Slide is not a perfect device. However, with that being said, I think that if we all go off telling everyone what we'd prefer for it to have, eventually it'd come to something like, "I want it to: Make my bed for me, drive me to work, etc."

All jokes aside, I believe that if we go changing the MTS, it wouldn't be an MTS.

Do I think the phone is perfect? Nah, but it does what it needs to. Great GPS. Great voice quality. Zippy. Great hardware keyboard. Although it doesn't have a 1GHZ processor, it doesn't really need it due to its screen res, which is also okay. My point is, we can all dream of our perfect phones. But if they came true, the phone business would go out of business, not being able to make it any better because of its perfections.

Oh, and as a side note: That 800Mhz SCORPION processor is nothing like the 1Ghz SNAPDRAGON from what I've read. And that the Scorpion processor does everything the snapdragon does as well as it does it, and it uses less battery. :O

Just my two cents. ^^
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dilucid_rudoff:
Honestly the only thing I'd change would be the plasticy feel to the more "adult" feel of the N1. Also Froyo would be nice. As it stands right now, the phones available through tmobile, there is nothing I'd rather have than the mts. The vibrant is nice under the hood and all, but samsung ruins the android experience with twiz. Sense is most definitely the best UI replacement I've used, especially espresso.

As far as I'm concerned, google nailed the "android experience" with the nexus, so the scorpion in the G2 better benchmark as well as TMO thinks it will in real world scenarios, otherwise there is no reason to stay with tmo for android in a consumer standpoint.

I tried Dolphin HD browser and it was really great. Its got lot of innovative features. But its not much of use on Galaxy S i guess, because within minutes of using it bcomes horribly slow. Each tap almost takes seconds for the app to respond. Even the scrolling is equally bad.

I really dont want to uninstall this browser. Does anybody have any tweaks to make it usable ? Do all galaxy S users feel the same or it works okay on others.

Any comments will be helpful.

According to the maker of Dolphin it had some issues in the later builds. But now it is more focused on speed improvements.

Opera is good. Hasn't tested skyfire on android. Didn't like it much all those years ago on PPC. The issue with Opera is when u use it for rapidshare or megadownload for instance (when u get the count down to the link) it is not updating. Probably because of the proxy to Opera. Turning this off hasn't worked for me.
