I'm trying to do the same thing too.

From what I get, you should use the 2.10 SYS packages (though you really only need some audio-related DLLs, but you might as well just use the whole SYS packages so you don't bother with tweaking) and use the 2.13 EXT Packages. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.

I myself am trying to make a rom lighter than that, and have done so successfully to some level, however, I yet don't know how to 1. customize manilla to remove the tabs I don't want and 2. customize the build to determine the initial install (default start menu folders/apps etc).

Some insight would help.

I've looked at both these tutorials but none cover what i'm looking for, the irony is that whenever I ask, I'm directed by others to those tutorials....

Thank you. That's a lot more info than I was able to find searching. Hopefully there is someone who can offer even more insight.
[HD2 General] masondoctorjt:
Well I just made a 2.10 Rom with most the Stupid Transformers, and games that I don't even have on my sd card removed and a few apps. It seems to be fine. I really did like 2.13 Stock though, if I could get it to work with andriod.
[HD2 General] josemedina1983:
I'm in the same boat I had a custom rom but I went back to the new stock t-mobile rom since it seem more stable and ow the Android calling feature doesnt work. any one found an android build that works on the stock t-mobile rom?
[HD2 General] Sking03574:
Roms that work with stock T-mobile

It's a number of new rom that work with the stock rom from T-mobile. I have the stock rom and with the new kernels these are some of the ones that worked for me. I using a totally stock HD2.

1. Mattc Leo + Froyo w/Sense 1.8

2. Build/30.08.2010/*Subcraft 1.5*CM6 Final/Kernel; ElBartoMe 2.6.32.9 #1

No robotic voice or SOD. I ran these builds for 30 days with no problems.

Long story short, My Cappy won't get satellite lock AT all. I called ATT tech support. They had the gall to blame Google Maps. I said I want a new phone please. They said go to a retail store and get the phone tested and we'll see what we can do. I then called Amazon's support.

My new Cappy will be here Wed.
[Captivate General] beazie0885:
And now your probably going to get another cappy with no gps again! Lol jk dude, good luck. I'm starting to wonder about mine. The only timer my gps worked somewhat, was on jh3, I'm on jh7 now and can't even get accuracy past 100 meters in maps. Weird.... Starting to piss me off a little
[Captivate General] waiting4gingerbread:
Amazon has always provided great service for me. I order through them without hesitation.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
My GPS won't get closer than 1600 meters. :( The lady at amazon said she's fully aware of the problem, suspected a bad shipment. She also said if this one has the same problem I could port my number back to Sprint. I hope it doesn't come to that.
[Captivate General] buddy17:
why would you be glad to order through amazon??? Buy in store, pay a little more yes, but you get a new phone basically no questions asked immediately. I exchanged 3 times and didnt have to wait 3 days and the guys never doubted my reasons for a second. That is worth the extra money to me
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
I got the run around from ATT tech support. I spent 40 minutes on the phone with them. They wouldn't own up to the possibility the GPS was bad in my phone. Time on the phone with Amazon, about 5 minutes.
[Captivate General] buddy17:
that is your own fault for trying to call tech! We all know they are terrible. Calling them is much different than walking in the store and talking to someone and getting the phone immediately. at least you are getting a new phone though
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
Tech support denies the problem, so does the corporate store, they claim they haven't heard about a gps issue, lol, seriously! They will replace it on the spot at the store without question, they don't even look at it, I doubt the know what SU is or root. I swapped out 2 and I am on 3rd. I have the new one for a week now, gps is ok, dosen't lock at all or see satellites inside, who cares, I know where the bathroom is. I have used it while driving and it worked. Anyhow, I have 3 weeks left to swap this one out if I run into any problems. I am sticking with this phone, it's the best one AT&T has and I am stuck with them. Good luck man, I hope your next one works.
[Captivate General] galaxyjeff:
Your first phone was probably just like all Galaxy S phones they all have a non working GPS. It's not just a batch of phones. I think the problem is software related. They need to hurry up with a fix because people are getting irritated that a ton of apps rely on GPS and this phone does not have a working GPS like it's supposed to. I'll bet you get another non working GPS phone.
[Captivate General] AvengerBB:
Agreed. Not sure why anyone is allowing returns for GPS related issues.
[Captivate General] Reefermattness:
Yeah calling Tech is about the slowest way to get a new handset, or a good answer. I took mine back to the store because the 1.2oc would crash the handset. Told em it wasn't working right and I wanted an exchange, walked out 10 minutes later with a new one. Faster than Amazon. :p
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Regardless, you bought the phone from Amazon. AT&T does not cover the warranty. After the 30 days, you will have to deal directly with Samsung (unless you get lucky and an AT&T rep sets up a replacement regardless of you buying elsewhere).

In terms of warranty/replacement, AT&T support is usually great. However, if you didn't purchase through them, they will probably give you the run around.
[Captivate General] catire:
Just out of curiosity can your amazon phone boot into recovery?

I´m about to purchase one from amazon and wondered if they still have the "old"captivates.

Can you do this please:
[Captivate General] SamsungGalaxySVibrant:
LOL silly rabbit, they all have GPS problems, even your replacement will!

Every single Galaxy S including the new one Amazon is sending you will have the GPS problem. Every Captivate, Every Vibrant, Every Galaxy S on Every Continant has the problem. Just pray your new phone doesn't have a different problem, because the GPS issue is on ALL Galaxy S phones:eek:

But I bet you are going to prove us wrong and tell us your new replacement has a perfectly working GPS:cool:
[Captivate General] Vanillalite:
I want to order a phone on Amazon, but I'm worried about the shut down issue.

This is good news that they were so accommodating. Makes me want to go place my order as we speak honestly.
[Captivate General] marshall7712:
I read on Android Forum the problem with our GPS is an almanac and driver issue. After reading that and not getting a lock I figured if I clean out the phone's cache and do a hard reboot I might get a lock. I did just that and I now get a lock in five secs or less. That GPS almanac has to be cleaned each time before a new trip or it reverts to some type of loop of old info and won't process new input. In other words it won't clean out. That is a faulty driver. The fix should be easy to implement. Anways, my GPS works with this action and keeps the lock throughout the trip now. It never did before.

EDIT I get three meter accuracy too.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
My phone will boot into recovery, download mode is tricky but I can get it there.

CP SW Version:I897UCJF6
HW Version: REV 0.4
FTA SW Version: I897.005
FTA HW Version: Rev 0.4
RF CAL Date: 210.8.6

No idea what that means as var as what version I have. Enlighten me?
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
I get that, but my problem seems different, to me anyway. In a 4 acre open field on a bright sunny day, the GPS would not lock AT ALL when I turn of wireless and rely on GPS hardware only. When turning on Wireless, the best it would do was 1600 meters.
[Captivate General] blahze9:
I was about to return my phone to AT&T until I downloaded the new beta firmware. GPS is dramatically improved. I thought it was hardware, but I stand corrected. I'm getting full GPS lock within seconds now.
[Captivate General] toawkanavngthded:
i thought u can only do one swap at at&t? after that they wont allow you... is that right? ive been reading and ppl have swapped out 3 already! how is that so? if thats the case i hope when i get my captivate i can do the same
[Captivate General] catire:

Did you flash ucjf6, or did it come with it?
[Captivate General] elite_is3:
you know what guys, I DID THIS EXCHANGE with amazon this week, i had NO GPS LOCK EVER, and NO HARD KEYS RECOVERY, got an exchange and the new Device (actually it was opened, seal was broken)....everything works now.

On top of GPS working it locks within 20 seconds. And inside my house. Same Firmware too...and ironically my recovery works as the other one did not. I dont think its coincidence...perhaps theres just a VERY FEW amount that work much better than others.

I really think theres a level of GPS issues people are blowing off as normal which from having one that didnt work at all no matter where i stood outside, what GPS settings i used. To usable/functional out the box. what do you think?
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Flashed it.

[Epic 4G Accessories] chevyfan061:

[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
I bet the batteries are fine, it's getting the door to fit back on being the next issue.
[Epic 4G Accessories] churro7:
i ordered me one

now waiting for epic battery cover
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
Since the battery is thicker, you could halfass the cover by simply cutting an opening in it just enough that the battery could protrude from it and still allow the stock cover to snap on. Other than it being pretty, the battery hump would stick out less than the cover that is included on that eBay Fascinate link. Or maybe you could get really fancy by cutting off the bump from the Fascinate cover and epoxy it or something to your existing Epic cover.

As I'm sitting here writing this, I'm thinking about just doing it myself...dremel out the hump and epoxy it to the Epic cover, using enough epoxy to create a smooth transition lip instead of an actual bump, light sanding to clean up the epoxy work and then wrap it in some 3M Di-NOC carbon fiber graphics while I'm at it.

The ONLY problems I've ever heard with some of the aftermarket batteries (while I was on the Samsung Moment forums) was that occasionally people would get an incompatible battery warning on their phone, but could easily be resolved with a reset. Once you get yours, keep us posted how it works out. When I first got my phone, the battery was completely dead, but I was thankful. I read random stories (which are debatable) as to if battery conditioning is even necessary or if it even matters. Either way, I put my phone on the wall charger (faster than USB via a computer) and let it charge completely. I then ran about 4 streaming music apps at once to completely kill the battery, then did a nice slow charge on the PC. While I can't say if my battery life is good or bad compared to anyone else since everyones usage is different, at least I can say I tried to condition it. My point is that I've tested the life of batteries this way when swapping between older and newer batteries on my Treo as well. Charge them till their full, run a battery intensive app (streaming for example) and timed how long it took to die. I have Treo batteries that lasted as little as 1.75hrs and as much as 3.5hrs, so naturally I keep the 3.5 in there as much as possible. You could test your current battery vs the extended battery the same way. I chose streaming as my testing of choice since I stream music while working anyways, so it wasn't anything out of the ordinary...I'd just let it go until the music stopped, noted the time and swapped to the next battery. Maybe you could do the same to confirm the difference in life between the 1500 and 2200 battery, otherwise we'll never know.

On a side note, I like this cover http://cgi.ebay.com/3000mAh-Extende...788955?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5adbfc1b1b since it thickens the whole phone vs just adding a hump. That hump would just be constanly snagging the edge of my pocket everytime, hence why I wanted to make it a smooth transitional edge like I mentioned above. Also, this battery is 3000mah, 2x the stock Epic battery. Is the i9000 the same height and width as our batteries? It'd be an even larger hump, but twice the battery...hmmmm.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Geekybiker:
One thing to keep in mind about battery ratings is that it is dependent on discharge rate. A battery discharged at 1 c will have a different and lower apparent capacity than the same battery discharged at 0.1 c. Thus a larger battery benefits in two ways. Physical size and lowering of the c rate based on the same amp draw. This is where less reputable battery makers cheat. They will put an incredibly small load on a battery to achieve a higher rating.
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
So, what's your point? How does one distinguish a good battery vs a bad battery then if we're going to try and test these?
[Epic 4G Accessories] nimaim:
I'm waiting for Seidio to release this battery. They have an extended battery for the Evo and it gets good reviews overall, as seen here. Super expensive and makes the phone super bulky though :(
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
Why wait for Seidio and their overpriced batteries? People have been buying the extended batteries for the Moment for years via eBay, so why would any of the Galaxy S line batteries be any different for the sub $20 range?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Geekybiker:
The point is that unless they are giving you a physically larger battery, not to put too much faith in the MaH ratings of batteries. Especially ones out of china with no brand to speak of. The difference between a 1500mah and a 1700mah is likely in how they discharged to to rate it.

If you can find it, the C rate on discharge is a good indicator of quality in lithium batteries. Higher C rate discharge have lower internal resistance and are made with better materials. I'm not sure how likely you are to find the full specs on a phone battery.

In a test environment its not too difficult to figure out which is which. Put a temperature probe on it, and then put a high load on it. The one with the lowest temp is probably your best battery. (same size anyways)
[Epic 4G Accessories] bitbang3r:
Assuming the 2200mAH batteries are genuine Samsung OEM, I'd love to see one get tested by the guy at batteryboss.org to see how they rate under the same test conditions as the other batteries he's tested. If they end up being real, honest-to-god 2200mAH @ 250mA discharge, that would put them right on par capacity-wise with the average, much thicker no-name nominally-3500mAH Evo/Desire/Hero batteries from eBay. 1500 definitely isn't big enough, but a real 2200mAH battery with back that's large enough to accommodate it (preferably with a sculpted, rounded profile instead of a boxy pregnant lump) might be a nice alternative to a full-blown ~2800mAH-nominally-3200/3500mAH extended battery from Seidio.

In any case, I think it's been well established by now that the "extended" batteries that are the same size, but ~100mAH larger than stock, are almost a complete waste of money. Even when they DO last 30-60 minutes longer, you seriously have to question the sanity of spending so much for so little.

That said, I suspect that most of the cheap 2200mAH batteries that will eventually end up on eBay will end up testing out at around 1500mAH.
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
I think I got what you mean. Either way, both the 2200mah and 3000mah battery are incrementally large than the next vs the stock 1500mah battery, so I would assume that each battery will in fact store more of a charge.
[Epic 4G Accessories] playcs:
has anyone tested whether these batteries work and charge normally? If they do work, you can grab a cheap hard case on ebay for 3 dollars and cut a hole through it for the battery. It will be ugly though, unless you figure out how to make it look nice
[Epic 4G Accessories] kevinjmoore:
Why don't you go on Ebay and buy yourself a good extended battery 2800 mah and use your phone for 2 full days without charging? http://cgi.ebay.com/Sprint-Epic-4G-...450945198?pt=US_Batteries&hash=item1e5f7b74ae USA supplier, great guy and has excellent customer service.

http://cgi.ebay.com/3500mAh-Extende...Accessories&hash=item3cb2c4bb14#ht_4129wt_916
[Epic 4G Accessories] m5james:
I picked up one of the i9000 3000mah batteries for $6 shipped, but of course the cover is useless to me. I have yet to fully charge it and do the same testing that I did w/ my stock battery, but it seems to be working fine so far. Naturally two weeks after I ordered that battery, suddenly Epic batteries and covers are all over eBay....oh well.

My biggest questions between the 2800, 3000 and 3500mah batteries is their size differences between both the battery and the cover itself. One would assume that each time the battery mah goes up that the battery will increase as well. I don't remember where I saw it, but someone had disected (literally cut it open) one of the extended batteries (not sure where purchased, brand name, etc) but the mah rating on the guts of the battery was smaller than what came on the original battery sticker. Even if this $6 battery doubles my life, I'll be happy.
[Epic 4G Accessories] tony45x220:
I have the 2800mAh battery from Mr. Kevinjmoore...been a little over a week and my best results have been 41+ hours to give you an estimate...mind you a 3500mAh battery is 700mAh bigger...but the battery I have is of the best quality...just a thought
[Epic 4G Accessories] tony45x220:
The first 2800mAh yoobao battery took my average discharge time from 12-15 to 40+ on average...I'd like to see how much the 3500mAh "generic" battery can improve on these numbers.
[Epic 4G Accessories] tony45x220:
I've heard the generic 3500mAh batteries aren't that good on quality...but the 2800mAh Yoobao has been excellent for me giving me almost THREE TIMES the amount of usage time on average....the old quality over quantity equation.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ericizzy1:
is the thikness of these batteries really bad?
[Epic 4G Accessories] bagelicious:
I actually have both of the batteries and the 3500 lasted 51 hours and 45 minutes over the weekend with light to medium usage. I'm on the 2800 right now and after 1 day and 4 hours I have 57% left. I'm running EE1.2.09 (not Froyo) with Phoenix Kernel. I did forget to toggle airplane mode for a while after putting in the 2800 yesterday so the cell standby was abnormally high - not sure what impact that had on the battery.

I'm happy with both batteries thus far but it looks like the 2800 is going to give me more bang for my buck. It's seen heavier usage and still appears that it will last longer. Very impressed!!

I second the great customer service as well. I've emailed him several times now with questions and he's replied back super quick. There's a reason he's got 100% feedback over on eBay.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bagelicious:
It actually feels really normal when holding it. The cover is high quality and it fits well in your hand. It slides in/out of my pocket just fine. Couldn't be happier.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
I think the only difference will be that the 2800 might be a bit more efficient. That is, the real maH will probably be around 2400, while the 3500 will probably be around 2800maH. The most efficient extended battery I have seen has had about 85% of claimed maH.

www.batteryboss.org

If the 3500maH I ordered is anything like the Evo's then it will realistically be about a 2800maH battery. I am content with this, especially for 19 dollars shipped.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
Thanks everybody for the good info.

Does any one know if there is a different size in back cover's?

I have seen 3 on ebay 2800mah, 3000mah, and 3500mah. The cover's look the same, but it's card to tell from the pic's.

Even the "High Quality" 2800mh one.

My goal is to make it trough a full day and not have to worry about battery life.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
They looked the same to me, which is why i just went with the 3500maH one. I think any of them will make it through a full day. Hopefully the battery arrives this week so I can begin testing it out.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
Not from me but though i post.

Purchased this last week, It came in today and boy am I IMPRESSED…Cover is SNUG and FITS PERFECTLY…pics and info are below..

[Epic 4G Accessories] tony45x220:
They do all look the same and even looking at the 3500mAh battery close up...it looks no thicker than my 2800mAh Yoobao...but someone else said they got 51 hours out of the EBAY 3500mAh battery already...I'm at 31% after 40 hours of DEFINATE medium phone call and text message usage off my 2800 so I think I might just beat those #'s...look out for my updated youtube "REVIEW" on my thread!!
[Epic 4G Accessories] tony45x220:
Oh wow...they look EXACTLY the same size as my 2800mAh Yoobao battery...make sure to post the battery life results for comparison!
