rockbox android scrobbling

In case anyone is interested, I've created a simple patch to add scrobbledroid support to the Rockbox Android port. Here's a link:

EDIT: The draconian anti-spam policies, which have thus far prevented me from making many posts at all in the development forums, are preventing me from providing my link. So I will obfuscate it :p

Woo! This is great news, thanks for the link :)
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
Hows the video quality? On youtube for example? Is there a differnce in quality in a rooted vs unrooted? Thanks!
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
how would giving you access to root directories effect the way the phone works? root simply gives the phone access to things it normally wouldn't so it does nothing to your phone the only way for something to happen to your phone is if you do something to it.;) so to answer your question no:D
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
Well, I am new to all of this. Also I have read where people have said that rooting the phone made it run faster. So I wondered if running faster had any effect on vid quality.
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
And you never answered my original question...:D How is the video quality?
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
well thats in their head lol but you can make your phone run faster by deleting the stock apps but of course you need root for that... actually i did answer your question i said there is no difference it was the little last bit on my first post
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
Right, you said there was no differnce in rooted vs unrooted. How is the video quality overall? My bud at work has an iphone 3g and without the my 3g app the quality is pretty bad when hes not on wifi. Was curious how smooth the vids were. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
you asked if there was a difference in video quality from a non rooted phone vs a rooted phone and there is no difference but as for having wifi on or off the quality is the same just might take longer to load
[Vibrant General] Genesis1791:
Actually on wifi the phone defaults the youtube app to high quality video mode, but on 3g you can simply hit the menu button the load the video in high quality.
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
LOL!!! So is the quality good, bad?? I do appreciate your info, bro. That sticky you reccomended had some great info!
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
of course it had great info its a sticky lol and i would say this phone has great video quality. im mean come on it comes with avatar on it lol if it plays it flawlessly it can play anything and so far i havent had any bad quality playing videos unless it was just the actual video that was bad
[Vibrant General] Genesis1791:
This phone has quite possibly the best screen out there, so yes the quality is good but it also depends on the video its self of course.
[Vibrant General] GreggoryD502:
Thank you skater!!!! it only took 12 posts, but finally I got my answer!!!!:D

Im probably looking to get a vibrant in the next week or two. Im just doing a little research first.
[Vibrant General] skater4690:
your welcome and if your researching for a phone you picked the best place to do it. imo this is the best phone out there besides the evo ive played with about every phone out there and nothing can beat this screen and customization.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakewoodblues:
Hi --

Noob here.

I'm trying to find out if a couple of apps exist:

1) is there a music player app that allows for gapless playback?

2) is there a better voice dialer than the stock dialer for the Evo?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Hi, I was just wanting to clarify what firmwares are safe to use on the Bell i9000.

I previously screwed up my phone because I flashed JPC and it corrupted my internal memory.

I was hopping to clear up what can be flashed on the Bell version of the i9000 and what can't me.

So far this is what I know.

Good:

JP2

JP3

BOJI

HVJHI

GJH2

JM2

JM4

XWJM5

JM7

JM8

UGJH2

1.20Ghz Kernel

Bad:

JPC

JPH

(possibly caused by One click lagfix)

To keep 850mhz radio

Modem: http://www.mediafire.com/?qic38waf8px13mz

CSC: http://www.mediafire.com/?7ow6p25nhzle5jo
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decepticon:
JPC worked fine on my Bell Vibrant. Any of the international firmwares will work without any issues short of the issues inherent in the firmware already.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
That was my understanding as well, but many people and all of the seem to have Bell Vibrants are getting corrupt sd cards from JPC, which basically bricks the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuzz21:
My Bell Vibrant was Bricked no idea why ? because i didn't root or use a custom ROM so Bell F@#$%# me over. Dammit 500 $ paper weight.

Now i gotta wait 3 to 6 weeks unless someone knows how to unbrick one without the 3 button recovery mode ?

Anyone ideas ? lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
No exactly what this thread is about sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
I also have a brick sent back to Bell/Samsung for repairs due to JPC.

I'm pretty sure any other firmware is fine. I had the HK JP2 installed without issue. Other than that I just stuck with the UGJH2 as it's nearly as new as any of the international firmwares and runs smooth, even without a lagfix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jentech:
I've had no problem with JPC. I've flashed it a couple of times over the past few weeks. It ran extremely well. JPH on the other hand has hooped my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
For me and some others JPC did it :S
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decepticon:
JPC ran like garbage on mine but no major issues aside from the lag, JPH though has been a champ for me thus far.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmack:
we need to pin down as to what caused these SDCARD errors so we can all avoid that.

I'm thinking maybe repartitioning with the wrong pit file might cause something like this ?

I'm using JPC on my I9000m now, working nicely (some lag here and there, but nothing AutoKiller can't take care of), and since I saw the post about the SDCARD error on one of the i9000m, am a bit hesitant to flash JPH.

Problem is, if it does get bricked, its basically paper weight because am in the US and doubt Bell or Samsung US/Canada would be willing to help.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
I also would like to find out what is causing the problems, it has to be an issue with only some of the Bell ones because there are people running these frimwares with no issues.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmack:
am just throwing out ideas here, but it could be one of the lag fixes causing corruption in the internal memory if not correctly uninstalled before flashing new firmwares ?

jentech, did you use any of the lag fixes prior to flashing JPH ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
JPC messed mine with no lagfix installed. This has been ruled out in several threads on xda.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Idan73:
it is also highly likely that us bell users are flashing with bell modem so that we can keep 850 out of the box and is root of the sdcard corruption.

for some reason i remember having nexus one that every firmware and mod always strongly warned that froyo modem is required as well as flushing dalwik cache right after upgrading from éclair.

and here most of us are doing just that using jh2 with froyo.

well as for me i know i wont be upgrading to froyo as long as this thing with sdcard keeps happening as my 30 days was up on sept 9 so no more DOA :( and even if under warranty still not willing to be without the phone for more than a month.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
I lag fixed mine but as others have said it doesn't seem to be the cause.

Though I did seem to find a progressive decay in the phone until it finally shut off and never started. It wasn't all of a sudden.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmack:
Which lag fix ? if you used OCLF, did you allocate the entire internal memory to it ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Yes I did use OCLF, I only allocated the default so something like 800mb.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] decepticon:
All the ones bricked, were you also having issues with the 3 button recovery? Trying to see if there is any connection there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madmack:
I'm reading around regarding this error, and it seems some guys with other phones and the same error got things running back by using Parted. You basically boot into recovery, push Parted to the bin folder, and then repartition/format that failed block: mmcblk0p1

I'm not sure what the file system currently is on that block, but the guys I got this info from were formatting it to ext2. I think if we modify it to match the filesystem that our ROMs require, then we're good. It's a long shot though, and if anybody has a bricked phone with them now, they could give it a go before sending it back for repair.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansonator:
I used kies yesterday and upgraded to UGJH2, don't remember what it was before, whatever was factory loaded but now I am having all sorts of problems that I did not before.

GPS is way out of wack. Phone freezes. Signal disappears. Right now it's running smoothly but all day it was going retarded.

I give it a bit, if it doesn't sort itself out by the time froyo rolls I'll be flashing this sucka.

Thanks for the heads on good roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigc_13:
I had to send mine in today, ever since i flashed the latest firmware last Tuesday my phone has been running crappy, random reboots, and other problems.

I wanted to roll back to the firmware the phone shipped with but my phone broke literally an hour before I rolled it back.

Hopefully when bell ships it back to me I can get it back on the older firmware and have no more problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
Nope, it worked fine for me. I think it has something to do with the revision of the phone.

WHen you check your IMEI does it have a /0X, X being some number after the code

?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
This is a rumor. It has been disproved in several threads on here. It has been proven that that having/not having the 3 button modes is completely random. Not to mention, the IMEI SV is based on the modem installed. With UGJG9, it's SV/02 with UGJH2 it's SV/03, and with JPC it's SV/01

Mine bricked, and the 3 button combos worked fine. I do not believe there is a connection.

You do not have SU permissions while in recovery ADB. There is no way to push anything to the phone as the SD card is not functioning. I messed with this for a day and a half trying to figure out a way to do it. It's just not possible unless someone can decompile the zImage, root the recovery section somehow and rebuild it for flashing. I am not a programmer, so I wouldn't know where to start.

New JH2 + SPL fix

http://www.facebook.com/samsungmobilecanada

Apparently they released the JH2 again but including a SPL fix, so people already on JH2 will need to flash back to JG8 or something, then flash forward to JH2 again to get the new SPL fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mafiaboy01:
That still doesn't help with bricked phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
Nothing is going to help with a bricked phone. They need to be either replaced or sent back for repair.

I have a question about compatible firmware for a bell i9000m, what would be a stable custom rom that still takes good use of 850 3g AT&T band in US? I'm currently on JH2, rooted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inios:
I'm currently using JM8 PDA with JH2 MODEMS/CSC and it's working well for me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgkahn:
if so please post a picture showing you getting wcdma 850 mode 5 .. i tried the exact same thing and only got edge.. not 3g on 850.. just because you are getting signal and 3g doesnt mean you are getting 3g on 850 band.. it could be on 1900 band..

also how did you flash.. did you just flash the pda ... i dont know of the jh2 modem file separately. so i had jh2 csc and jm7 pda and jm4 modem and it didnt work
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inios:
On my last flash to JM8, I flashed the PDA (JM8), MODEM (JH2), and CSC (JH2) all together, plugged in my SIM, added the appropriate APN, and received reception immediately. (No need for any Multi-CSC or any combi band selection)

In the past, I did notice that using a JM4 MODEM with a JH2 CSC did cause me to lose the 850 band no matter what PDA version (JM7 or JM8).

I extracted the MODEM and CSC from the original JH2 tarball in order for this to work.

Hey Inios, just wanted to thank you for clarifying that us JH2 users can flash to JM8 with no problems so long as we do it your way. I'm about to give it a shot right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inios:
No problem :)

I haven't tried this yet but I'm pretty sure you can take a stock JH2 (PDA/MODEM/CSC) and flash a JM8 PDA over it with no problems as well. I personally prefer to clean any system (mobile or PC) with wipes/factory resets/formats though and that's why I did a clean flash.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheChancellor:
That would make perfect sense. I'm on the same train of thought of as you when it comes to firmwares... Fresh and clean. I've just upgrade to JM8 and I can confirm that the GPS is working fine and that I'm on the 850 band. Thanks again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold_sprinter:
Hi Guys, I have tried almost all of the firmwares available. I have tried JPH and JPC both worked well but the file allocation was weird so several of my programs would not run properly.

I9000BOJI, I9000HVJHI, I9000UGJH2, I9000XWJM5, JM2, JM6, JM7, AND JM8. All worked well with the exception of the specific firmware problems. I am currently running jm8 PDA file with JM4 modem file....with the bell CSC file.

This combination as proven to be the most stable for me thus far. Gps locks fairly quickly, no major problems to report.

Most ROMs I have used the OCLF from the market, one or two of them tried the voodoo...but that was a whole new monster.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emeagwa:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gold_sprinter:
The firmwares can be downloaded at samsung-firmwares.com. I did use a lagfix, it was located in the tutorial thread for the firmware (sorry I can't remember which thread it was). It said do not use another lagfix. But like I said, I did not play around with it too much after I noticed some programs did not work, I flashed back to 2.1.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Inios:
Yes - Both PDAs work well.

If you are in Canada, Kies should allow you to update to UGJH2. Otherwise, check out http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i9000.htm

It seems everybody that got their motherboards/sdcards fried is using some sort of lagfix. I think its these lagfixes that are causing the problems.

My phone went down yesterday, got the mount error, could not save it with anything.

Luckily I was within my 14day refund. Went for an exchange but no stock so ended up with a refund instead. Gonna keep an eye out on this problem in the meantime.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
It went from extremely rarely doing it to three or four times just the other night in the span of a few hours. I can't reproduce it on command but it happens when I lock the screen and put it in my pocket. Then sometimes when I take it out it is entirely non-responsive, even the power button doesn't work. I have to remove and reinsert the battery.

It could be ADW Launcher or WidgetLocker since those are the only two programs always running, but I was hoping someone else experiences a similar issue. It hasn't happened when I normally lock it yet though, so it could also be the proximity sensor maybe?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Fate.tw:
Having the same issue (on Bell as well), but not running either of those two apps. Was almost to the point of returning the phone and then installed JM7 and it's been better, although not perfect. Last night it locked up with NoLED displaying an icon, so I've deleted that app to see if that's the issue. It hasn't locked up today, but it did reboot a few hours ago seemingly at random. :shrug:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] clubtech:
Your internal sd card might be failing like all the other i9000m phones I see on this forum bricking themselves .
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Frostshock:
Oh, that doesn't sound pleasant at all...

I'm outside of Bell's 30 day exchange period plus I've talked for over 30 minutes, so I'll have to go through Samsung if it completely breaks. On the plus side, a phone from them should be three button recoverable.

Although I can't be without a phone for weeks, I hope it's not the SD card.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Hold your horses people....

before you jump about the lag, and or one click lag fix and such

first you have to investigate what is running on your phone.

just over the weekend (since XDA was down) i stalled over 400 Apps

my phone slowed down to snail speed, then i ran my Startup Manager software (many to choose from)

I suggest Startup Cleaner 2.0 then uncheck everything, leave only the apps that you want to run during start up

reboot your phone and presto, fast as new!

if you can find version 2.1 of startup manager that one is even better

keep note, start up manager apps are not the same as task killer apps

it only run once during start up, and it helps you easily select what should and should not run during start up, so it doesn't stay in memory after it runs

on the same topic

you should also configure your Task Killer apps to kill everything, and add only the wants you want to be running to the ignore list.

that will keep the phone working smoothly even without the "one click lag fix"

i'm still running stock on my JH2 i9000m
