Yes, Jesus Christ this is annoying. How was I ever exploiting the search? Search is the best and fastest way to find the threads I seek. This is nonsense.

Sorry, everyone. We're looking into the cause of this. It's possible that our server admin had to turn off search for several hours to do maintenance.

I'm not rreally a fan of auto rotation since my old phones made this so painful.

Enabled it on my Vibrant, and found it interesting enough to keep it on.

Try hard not to let it rotate when I just held it sloppy, so I didn't snap that it hasn't been rotating in a while...

Which sucks when a media player goes landscape and nothing auto rotates back.

While I have adw, lp and lh installed, they all three are set to rotate.

Wondering what else might be gone I went to sensors test in *#*#1472365#*#* and all sensors showed "false".

Not sure I saw anything else un past there I installed some compass app, nothing moves, since it also does gps compass I saw it lock in 3-4 secs even showed me my address, but the while time the compass showed only "Loading...."

Wondering if there is a file if gone kaputt, affects those sensors, that could be removed to force some sort of default, kind of like deleting a file to reset battery meter, at least gps works fine. ....

Any ideas before I call customer service for yet another replacement?

Thanks,

Daniel

Hi,

I wanted to turn stock rom and my hboot 0.80

I tried to downgrade my hboot to 0,75. I installed via ROM Manager. Still my hboot version is 0,80 and I can not access my phone. After boot animation the device restart itself loopy hundered times. I installed 2x or 3x times any image, app2sd, but it didn't work.

What would you suggest me?
[Vibrant General] Michaelr219:
backlight buttons used for notifications on the i9000

i remember seeing this before in the theme and apps section and it got ruled out for the vibrant because of kernel issues i think it was... but they figured it out for the i9000, so i hope we can see this on our phone... soon.

btw... please dont flame and tell me this is in the wrong thread, because it will get more views here... and its in this section of the i9000 thread.

[Vibrant General] Michaelr219:
thanks... ive seen that in the market... but unless theyve changed the battery drain and the using home button to power the phone back up... it doesnt feel like a complete solution. atleast for me...
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
well the source is there from the i9000 build, sounds like you need to get to work to fit your needs.

oh and it's in the development section in the i9000 section because there is DEVELOPMENT done, unless you plan on doing something this should go in the Q&A section.

flame on!
[Vibrant General] Genesis1791:
Who cares if its in the wrong section or not? If everyone posted crap like that then nothing would get done with our phone so take that **** elsewhere. Anyway back to the topic at hand, just reading over the first post it seems as tho the dev who made that is willing to port it to other Galaxy S phones. Anyone try contacting him yet?
[Vibrant General] Michaelr219:
woww! a fantastic 4 reference...

youre sooooo clever

ive never heard anyone use that out of context like that before

what a clever clever girl you are

i know how these threads work.

and in case you havent noticed!!!

the i9000 is a GALAXY S,

now look at the back of your phone

it probably says GALAXY S

hmmmm... soo strange how that works.

it isnt my fault that samsung decided to put

out 5 different versions of almost the same

effing phone.

i do my part for the community anyway i can,

and i know as well as anyone else, the q and a

section doesnt get as much attention... so,

hopefully this thread will bring to life some actual

development since this can and should be port-able

id do it myself, but obviously i cant...

which is why i posted. :eek:
[Vibrant General] Michaelr219:
yes... waiting for a response... i hope curio or jac are already aware of this and adding it to there kernels... it seems like a no brainer that this could be useful to anyone...
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
Do your part by not being one of the members that purposely posts things in the wrong section. If the moderators did not feel the need for separate sections we would have one general forum.

And the reason the Q&A section doesn't get "much" attention is because people like you refuse to post there.. why would someone looks there if you continue to post here?
[Vibrant General] Genesis1791:
Change the thread title to include [Think Tank] then he can't complain anymore.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
Posts like this and we wonder why people respond at all :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Michaelr219:
because people like you are on a high horse... you arent a mod.

you arent the xda police. id just like to bring it to an experienced persons attention who could do it faster than it would take me to learn. why? cause i work and have a life that doesnt completely revolve around xda.

so why dont you go flame someone elses thread little lady... as you can see, there are some ppl here that would like to accomplish the same thing id like to see. which is to get more functionality out of my phone, since it is obviously possible on other "similar" models.

to the mods. if im out of line.

pardon me.

[Vibrant General] Genesis1791:
Really? Isn't the whole point behind a Think Tank to get people in here and try and get development done? Hmm seems to fit this thread perfectly. So what exactly is the problem now?

Edit: That configurable backlight timeout thread has nothing to do with this topic, It's a separate topic that in no way involves using the backlights as notifications. The other thread isn't a Think Tank so go flame in that one if your that hell bent on being useless to getting this to work on our phones.

Guys if you really want to see this in 2.2 instead of arguing do what I did and shoot this idea over to samsung!
[Vibrant General] Michaelr219:
sounds like a great idea... i guess im just hoping for an update.zip or apk possibly... like in the other thread... so that we can unlock this feature with ANY rom... but im glad to see people taking proactive steps... ill be sure to mention it on the samsung website...

sorry for the negativity previously in this thread... its just kind of sad to throw a disclaimer up, only to find someone try to tear it down... its unnecessarily negative when the out come of this thread is supposed to be positive.

Hi,

I'm a newbie on this forum and hope you experts can help me with my question.

I have searched extensively, but cannot find the answer to my question although I am sure this must be a reasonably common one.

I have recently bought an HTC Desire from Vodafone in Germany (although I use English as the system language on the phone). The case is non branded, but the software seems to be (the Vodafone logo is shown on bootup and the phone tells me that the software version is 2.1-update1). I have nothing against Vodafone, but they still don't have a ROM available for Froyo and I would love to upgrade to that version.

I have found a nunmber of links, but would like to make sure I am not chasing a red herring here, so my quesitons are:

1. Do I really need to root the phone in order to install the ROM?

2. Can somebody help me understand which is the right ROM for me? I am looking for the standard HTC 2.2 for the Desire.

And here are the links I found:

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ideedeequeuedee:
You do not need to root your phone to install RUU updates. This is only necessary for (most) custom ROMs.

This is the official 2.2 FroYo update:

http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Bra...3.00.32U_5.09.00.20_release_140022_signed.exe

You will however need to create a goldcard in order to install this, because you have a branded phone. This update will also un-brand your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahingert:
Hi Lunatic,

Thank you very much for your quick reply. I've found the instrauctions on how to create a gold card. Could you piint me to a link which explains how to install the ROM once I have the gold card ready please?

Thanks,

Adrien
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
1. Put the Goldcard in

2. Boot up the device

3. Start the exe

4. Follow the on-screen instructions :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahingert:
Hi ljesh,

Thaks for your reply: I love this forum!

Do you mean I need to copy the ROM on the gold card insert this one in the phone or should I start the exe from my desktop?

I apologise for being so slow.

Adrien
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ljesh:
No, the ROM is in exe format. So after you follow my 2 (3) steps (create the goldcard - don't have to put anything in it, place it in the device, then boot it) just execute the saved file on your PC while the phone is connected through USB. A window like this (not exactly like that, it's just for illustration) will appear and you will need to tick some boxes, understand the risk (it will delete everything from your phone: contacts, sms messages, settings... EVERYTHING) of doing this and wait for the phone to update itself.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ideedeequeuedee:
You need to run the .exe from your desktop, the setup will take care of the rest! :)

Make sure to backup your data tho, because this will erase everything on the phone!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahingert:
Brilliant, thanks ljesh. Everything is clear.

Guys you are seriously all great.

Now I'll get down to creating the gold card: I just wish there was a shortcut, the instructions I found (theunlockr.com/2010/03/10/how-to-create-a-goldcard/) seem quite lonwinded :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahingert:
Thanks EddyoS, this seems clearer than the one I've found.

I'll report back as soon as I've installed the ROM.

I finally figured out how to get it to work. You must select speaker prior to selecting the dial pad. Works every time. If you dont select speaker first then you get the long tones.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vortexion:
I'd like to bump this. Voicemail on my phone is driving me nuts. Going to speaker does seem to work. But really, should I have to set my phone to speaker-phone to be able to access my voicemail, on a $500 phone?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cleargrey:
Since Froyo, a more comprehensive backup was announced (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/data/backup.html). But I'm still not seeing ALL my settings and app data backed up.

I say this after doing a factory reset on my stock Desire because the contacts sync stopped working (I think it was a phone problem not Google problem). I have backed up in a number of places but the main one I use is MyBackup Pro.

For as good as it is, when it's finished, I still have to go through and put in my settings. Some widgets need to be re-setup. Some settings in the menu need to be re-setup. Signatures in my Google email boxes need to be redone. Ringtones (stock ones) need to be redone. Wallpaper. Etc.

Where are we with the perfect backup? I.e. backup my phone STATE. 1 backup so that should you reset your phone, it goes back perfectly. Obviously if you change phone to another model, you'll have to tweak a few things. But I thought backing up the phone state was possible after flicking through the link above.

So what's going on? Why do we not have the perfect backup yet?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ideedeequeuedee:
You could root your phone using unrevoked 3.2 and install a custom recovery. This will allow you to make a complete image of your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortenmhp:
I don't think the froyo backup feature is available in sense roms. This is a question of HTC including it I.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The issue here is that this is not a complete backup solution in an of itself, but an API that allows developers to add this functionality into their applications.

Since this is API level 8 (Froyo), and since most devices still don't have Froyo, it's not too surprising that few applications have been updated to take advantage of this facility.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cleargrey:
I wonder if the newly announced HTCSense.com will address this since the announcement said it will backup customisations. (Obviously not rooted customisations!)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
THIS WILL NO LONGER BE MAINTAINED and is officially killed :)

go here if you want rw access and get the version without a kernel.(assuming you have a kernel installed that has aufs support)

IF YOU FLASHED THE UPDATE.ZIP THAT WAS ON THIS PAGE...PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING:

You need to remove the init script and static busybox that were installed on your device. You have to do this in recovery mode since your rw access is not real.

Download the version linked to above and place it at the root of your sdcard.

open rom manager

select boot to recovery

boot to recovery while plugged in to computer

then from computer:

adb shell
mount /system
mount /data
rm /system/etc/init.d/99sysrw
rm /data/bin/busybox
umount /system
umount /data
exit

and from the phone:

flash BlaY0's update.zip you put on the sdcard
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Hayzie:
Really cool for your contributions.

I have no clue what you said, though. Will I be able to uninstall system apps with this? I'm guessin not as you were mostly speaking of partitions.

Lemme guess, brings ext2/3 etc together for something?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Faud:
wow, best news that I have heard all day.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] guitarist5122:
Ah! Thank you so much. I was just asking about this a couple weeks ago.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rodriguez27:
does this mean that we can use metamorph now?

sorry if its a stupid question
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
No, You will not be able to uninstall apps with this (at least I don't think). It doesn't actually let you write to the /system partition, it just creates an overlay.

And No it does not even look for an ext partition, it just uses the data partition.

Don't really know, I haven't tried. Bear in mind however since it is on your data partition, space could be an issue. Any files changed would then be stored in /data/sysrw.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] rodriguez27:
thanks for the quick info
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] epeets:
I'm gonna try this out with Android Commander. With this I should be able to remove apps and delete files without restarting into recovery and mounting everything. Right?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
apparently I was wrong.

as a test I did...

rm system/app/com.amazon.mp3.apk

while the phone was booted and it worked!

Even after a reboot I do not have com.amazon.mp3.apk installed :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] ward360:
It worked for me too, I used android commander booted and running and removed out of /system/apps android.tether.apk, mytouchmusic-signed.apk, and twitter.apk. I had a force close when I removed one thing (I am sure it was running in the background)

They all were gone after a reboot too, I was also able to update adfree just fine.

Any way this can be built into roms?

Thanks for the hard work!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
Hey dumfuq, thanks for this! Great idea on porting this badboy! One question though... from what I understood from the source thread is that will use the EXT. Partition for data if you have it right? So it won't break a2sd? I think I understood that correctly. Plus you need your kernel and that should make it work on any rom. I assume it won't overwite the OC kernel either. I'm excited to try this one out but I'm in the middle of rebuilding my rom so I can make a new backup (my old corrupted finally). I will test out as much as I can and let you know if different roms work. I should be done reinstalling by tomorrow (i have like 200 apps, lol!). This might turn out to be a good way to skip nandroiding and wiping all together if it turns out to work properly with a2sd/a2fat32... don't ya think?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
This version is not the same as blayo's for the legend. It is closer to the desire one (although I used info from both).

Mine will not even try to detect an ext partition at this point, it just uses the data partition regardless of what is available.

Also nothing at all will get overwritten with this unless you happen to have an /system/etc/init.d/99sysrw file. It doesn't copy the kernel or modules, instead it just assumes you have a supported version :). The only thing this update.zip does is add the script into init.d.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] sino8r:
I see... so basically, only cm based roms will work. Well, eventually, most us will move to cm based roms once bluetooth and a few minor bugs are worked out. Well, thanks for the info!
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
I haven't used them, but I think the newer sense roms support init.d scripts so you should be all good.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Faud:
Working great on Fenix 2.0 with one of dumfuqs OC kernals...thank you much for this.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
V2 is posted. It is essentially BlaY0's script for legend. I've only tested with no ext partition, but hopefully if you have one it will use it to store sysrw.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dumfuq:
just so you guys now, v2 probably doesn't work for people with who want it on the ext. Blay0 fixed his though (to support non ext users), so I'll give it a look here soon.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] arifwn:
Both versions do not work on stock kernel. Am I missing something? Should I use dumfuq kernel or cyanogenmod kernel in order to use this?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
WHAT!!??:eek: My slide has finally lost it's parasite, com.amazon.mp3 you are toast now. You and your friends kickback, talkback, soundback, twitter... not sure what else I erased, oh genie widget. Thanks dumfuq!!:D You are the man:cool:

Everyone that does this, make sure to check cyanogen's wiki on making a barebones rom so you don't delete something you actually need (of course you

did

make a nandroid

before

doing this so no need to worry if you do).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] BlaY0:
You won't actually delete anything... overlay just makes you (and system) think it is deleted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] droctii:
Good work. Now I can update the adfree app. However, it seems to have "broken" my RootExplorer app (which is now unable to r/w). Any ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] BlaY0:
Yes, it's a common problem. Why don't you read my original post especially post 19 and 20. The solution is on its way (tomorrow).
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] droctii:
Let me assume that was a response to my query about RootExplorer not working. Hopefully, things will soon be resolved.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] KCRic:
Really? Oh well, at least amazon.mp3 can't constantly restart itself in the background and eat my battery and ram (or whatever else it does). Along with the genie widget that starts everytime the clock app is started.
