Someone posted a link called Release: Deodex'ed System. - xda-developers.

When you click on it, it takes you to something totally unrelated.

I would like to figure out what happened to the posting, can we get the link back? If not, I am reposting the file - obviously taking no credit for creating. If someone can somehow recreate directions on how to do this, would be great. It was wasnt an install zip file from CWM - it was pushing files through ADB to the /system folder. From what I remember, there are 2 folders, you need to rm: framework and rm: system/app and replace with these???
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
I posted it, but there was a failed maintanance of xda that caused them to use a 24 hour old backup, therefore my thread was deleted. I will repost it soon, theming something at the moment, but will look for a clockwork update script that will make the flashing a lot easier than using adb and shell commands.
[Fascinate Android Development] gunkle:
Thought I was losing it when I couldn't find that post again. Wow I'm not going mad. Spent 45 min looking in different forums though I swore it was here.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Thanks a bunch! I could not figure out WTF. Yeah, a CWM one would be fantastic.

Out of curiosity, you removed VVM...in the done_app folder there are a bunch of .apk's. Can I simply add the VVMService.apk and VisualVoiceMail.apk through Astro, or do they have to be pushed?

Thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
What do you mean I removed VVM? Both those apk's are in there, I just checked.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
When I applied it the ROM the first time, it removed VVM, and I could not reapply - kept getting a parsing error
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Are you gonna repost the Deodexed rom with DI01 soon? Just wondering if you were gonna still post it. Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
As posted by frostman89 earlier
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
I don't use it, but he is a screenshot of both deodex apps installed

Just give me some time to release the updated deodex files and they should work.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Great man! Definitely can't wait to get my hands on it. Hoping that using that rom I will be able to use the default Google Car Dock app on it. Right now the Google one has issues, and once you push it to /system/app and reboot the phone just starts endlessly ringing until you delete the app and reboot. Keep up the great work man!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
Hello, So I have to exchange my Vibrant for a problem not related to this, but I'm reading all these people complaining about hardware locked 3-button issue on their phone. I don't know how many people are just doing it wrong, but I would like some feedback. Does this problem only concern a certain shipment batch? If so what dates?

My current vibrant goes into recovery and download mode using 3-buttons with no problem. I only have to use my usb cable attached to computer to get into download mode, and use 3 buttons.

Which shipment dates are having this problem or is it just every vibrant being released now the same? I just want to make sure I don't get a new phone with this problem.

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karmasore:
the hardware lock seems to be pretty random. many people are saying they are having troubles with newer vibrants but other people say they have vibrants with box-dates from sept. that have no hardware lock problems at all.

personally, my vibrant is an older one from 7/16/10. it's having hardware lock problems.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSneakerWhore:
Mine was 8/10 and had the issue with recovery only...luckily, I bricked it so a new one is on its way via warrantee.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Henchman:
I just replaced my vibrant because of water damage.

My first one was really slow connecting to the market, wouldn't work properly with my car Bluetooth, and was impossible to get to boot into recovery.

My new one works perfect.

So there are definitely differences between the phones.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karmasore:
same here, i couldnt do anything to fix the status of my phone. i had to get in touch with tmobile to get a new one sent out. it would be nice if i could find a solution to my problem before it arrives tho. not having a cellphone for a week is going to be harsh and cause many problems for me. i guess thats what i get for ****ing with my phone :-O

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
good to know but can you provide box dates lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I've read people with phones made after 09/01/2010 with recovery mode problems and I've read those with phones made before 09/01/2010 that recovery mode works fine via the three buttons which completely contradicts my personal experience.

But since you're asking, FWIW, I've tested five of them and here are the results along with date codes.

07/15/2010 - 3 Button recovery/download worked

08/15/2010 - 3 Button recovery/download did not work

08/16/2010 - 3 Button recovery/download did not work

09/01/2010 - 3 Button recovery/download worked

09/08/2010 - 3 Button recovery/download worked

I don't think there is any rhyme or reason regarding dates. I think it's ****ty Samsung quality control. Speaking of QC, two of the five Vibrants had wobbly/rattling volume buttons and one had a broken USB port.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ookas:
08/13/2010 here no recovery, it just bricked so i'm getting a new one... anyone here had problem with having to pay for shipping? they were telling me i had 2 options, pay $10 for 5 day shipping or $20 for 2 day shipping... i'm like **** THAT i haven't even had this phone for a month yet... u guys should be paying for that **** for selling me a defective phone... and with that they waived the shipping fee... i gotta ask though, how do u guys get the exact date of the phone? sure my battery shows 2010.08.13 but the only date i could find on my phone was 10.08
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Date should be right on the box sticker. The date on my phone itself says "10.09" but on the box it says 09/08/2010. Out of curiousity, how did it "just brick"? :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bschwartz40:
My box has a shipping date that is 7/02/2010. So my vibrant was I'm guessing part of the first batch. I have no problems here. Recovery and Download Mode work fine.

Dates don't mean anything this been going on since July. I had 2 with August 28 date that worked and one at store with Sept date and didn't work.... like sabooher said on page 1 he had Sept that worked and August that didn't. That's opposite of my results

Starting to wonder if they are even locked, sounds more like a defect. Even T-Mobile considers this a defect and will exchange
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wi11:
i called samsung for warranty because i bought mine third party, and they emailed me a shipping label. I hope they can fix it. The maximum time they quoted was 17 days. I think im going to mail it in and hopefully they can fix it. But, How can i find out the date of my phone and has anybody else exchanged through manufactures warranty?

Product Symptoms	: Technical Inquiry/Internal Menu/Software Reflash - FOC/No fee this is what was emailed to me. I really hope they dont send me another hardware locked phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamsungVibrant:
samsung released a fix for canadian vibrants, and it worked. so I don't see why they aren't releasing a fix. The canadian samsung twitter account was FULL o complaints, and the US twitter account nobody complained about this, that could be why.

maybe you can start a thread or campaign for people to visit the samsung twitter and facebook accounts and complain on a daily basis.

samsung doesn't call it hardware lock, just so you know, the correct terminology they use is "3-button issue"
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmalott:
Mine is a 08/10/2010 phone. Its hardware locked... I'm getting a replacement sent to me.

I'm also having to pay the $10 for 5 day shipping. But considering with insurance, its $130 and I/you voided the warranty by doing whatever you did to brick it anyways. I'll go with the $10, lol.

Today I received the Vibrant :

On the box the factory date was written 09/03/2010.

Software on all 3 models are JFD. An Unlook-Key I have and he is valid.

Recovery Mode and Download mode ( I could not received them) are blocked :(

Also Kies says: No Upgrades available....

Now I search a possibility to activate the Recovery-Mode. Root Access I have in the meantime. There is a branding from T-Mobile on it. This should be also deleted ...

Hopefully Android 2.2 will be provide via Kies and will be enabled the Recovery Menu. ( in some threads it is written, but nobody knows, it is true or not...

Got my replacement today. They didnt send my another OEM box but just a plain white box with a UPS shipping label so I'm not sure exactly of the date. The replacement is NOT hardware locked. FWIW tho, theres a 10.09 on the inside of the phone. Doesn't make much sense b/c my last phone said 10.08.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriot1973:
Just got my Vibrant today from Best Buy (They had it for $99 via upgrade vs. TMO $149 upgrade). Production date: 8/14/2010. HARDWARE LOCKED!

What are my options? Since I got it at BB, can I try to exchange there or a TMO store?

Thanks for your help!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I would return it to best buy and either buy it at a tmo store or go through tmo customer loyalty. The newer phones seem to have less problems but it is still hit or miss. Plus I bet loyaty will match bb's price. I also bet tmo has newer stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] southplatte:
OK well mine's toast.

Anyone have luck returning to store outside 14-day window? I'm going to try in about 30 minutes to do that....can't be without a phone at all.

Date: 08/20/2010

10.08 on label behind battery

phone!computer screen

Tried all the methods below to get dlm:

vol dn + vol up + pwr

vol dn + pwr

vol up + pwr

vol dn + vol up + usb

vol dn + usb

vol up + usb

pwr + usb

On the methods I tried with sim + sd inserted, just sim out, just sd out and both out.

I also tried various timings of releasing power - right after the phone!pc showed, after it blinked on the first time, tried no power button.

It has not mattered the various ways I have tried, it is defective on getting into dlm.

I've put about 9 hours straight reading XDA and all the various "easy", "not-so-easy" and any other method I could find all to no avail.

So it's return time for me. Just hope local store will swap it out for me.

--------------

EDIT: Went to the local Tmo store. Zero help. Explained they normally do in-store warranty, but had no "warranty" stock of the vibrant, but had tons of "new" stock. Wouldn't swap for new because past 14-days. No matter what I said. They became very accusatory, combative and claimed that there were zero known issues with the phone. I told them that was BS and they told not to rely on "blogs" for my information. I explained that GPS issues have been recognized by Samsung and Tmo official forums, Twitter & FB etc. and that the same was true for the HW lock. They told me "nope".

So I got a POS "temp" phone that doesn't even do email, which I absolutely have to have. Plus I get to call for the warranty because they refused to do so in the store with me there.

Needless to say, first thing I did was double check the second Vibrant I bought, and guess what? Hold vol up + vol down + power = recover and hold vol up + vol down plug in USB = dlm.

So two days apart on the date on the box (mine 8/20/2010 and his was 8/18/2010) both 10.08 under battery.

Seems Samsung had sporadic FW/BLM bugs and from what I gather reading, there is no rhyme or reason as to which ones junked and which ones didn't.

Off to call for my replacement.....

EDIT 2: Just got of the phone with t-mobile, will have replacement in a few days, waived shipping for it even. Guess we will see if the replacement is acceptable. As an aside, the customer support agent was MUCH better than the local store.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriot1973:
ALL IS WELL NOW!

I went back to BB and the guy that helped me yesterday swapped it out for another device. I tested it before I walked out that door this time!

PRODUCTION DATE: 7/22/10

Behind Battery: 10.7

Funny thing is he knew exactly what I was talking about. He said it's been hit/miss with the phones.

ROOT, HERE I COME!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patriot1973:
One other thing I just noticed that's different with this new phone versus the other hardware locked phone, is that the VOL buttons on the new one are more loose than the other. The first phone, the buttons were very firm and didn't jiggle. These do. Not that they rattle around, but if I run my finger over them they're loose. Not sure if this makes a hill of beans difference in why some are hardware locked and others aren't?

I'm glad you guys found a solution to your HW lock. I was lucky that I had just bought the phone yesterday and was able to exchange it today for one that isn't HW locked. Scared me to think I was stuck with no HW access to recovery.

does any one have a fix for the battery life problems with the 2.2 update? my incredible is having horrible battery life and i dont know how to fix it can someone help me? i am not rooted
[Droid Incredible General] chameleon131:
I wouldn't say my Droid Incredible's battery life got any worse after the 2.2 update, but being on the stock battery and refusing to bump charge leaves me wanting more battery life in general.

I've had a TON of success using SetCPU for underclocking. I'm seeing a massive increase in battery life, and the performance is still quite good. I know you said you're not rooted, but Unrevoked's one-click root for the Incredible is completely worth it. It's dead simple, barely takes any time, and I didn't lose a thing. (SetCPU requires root)

For what it's worth, I find 691Mhz max to be a great speed for the Incredible. I've gotten huge battery savings using it, along with using the profile function to turn it down to 460 max when the screen is off.

Also, keeping an eye on your display brightness can help big-time. The setting that automatic brightness selects for the Incredible will make sure you keep saying "wow, this phone has a great screen!" but it won't do you any favors when it comes to battery life. Keeping around a few widgets (like Tasker tasks, if you have that installed) to help you lower the brightness quickly can really help, as long as you're willing to squint at your screen a little.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheHybridTech:
I have been using Tasker to automate my Incredible. One automation that I really would like to setup is a shutdown command to run when the battery reaches capacity during the night. Currently, root options are still on the to do list for Tasker so the shutdown command is unavailable. Tasker does have the ability to launch scripts setup through SL4A so I was considering writing a simple bash script that would shutoff the phone. Only problem is that SL4A doesn't support root scripts yet though there is a workaround. Also, I have attempted to run a standard shutdown command which froze the phone (Had to remove the battery). So here is the question... Does anyone know what the bash command to shutoff the phone? Or possibly another way to do this?

Looking into it as well, when I get free time (which probably won't be for a while, honestly). Running the shutdown command in terminal does freeze the phone, but you can reboot it via adb without a battery pull.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] token419:
i used:

shutdown -r now

This rebooted my phone and it went idle, and did not power back on until i hit the power button.

I dont know of a termnal command though to initiate a shutdown like android does when choosing power off

Hehehehehe...

Well, when you don't have a USB cable lying around, kinda get stuck with the battery pull to restore functionality. :D

-- Wifi enabled depending on application (Wifi Tethering, Wifi Analyzer)

-- Location to enable Wifi

-- Schedule/Location to silence phone at work

-- Schedule for Auto-Brightness during day and min screen brightness at night

-- Headset Plugin to enable a menu of applications

-- Mobile Data off when Wifi connected, screen off

wouldn't that mean i couldn't see a picture? my screen works fine its just cracked. I was told it is most likely the digitizer (but my touch gestures still work as well).
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crz6662:
I assumed it was the screen itself. Is the screen plastic or glass. I would think plastic, but who knows. Google it. Most screens include the digitizer when the screen is purchased. Personally I would replace both at the same time if cheap enough. You'll have the phone apart anyway, If you plan on doing it yourself.

I found it fun & a bit educational. might have to order a tool or 2 but there very cheap. Be careful of the ribbon connectors, you can break them very easily.
