stupid questions................... :)

First, what is that "deodexed" thing? Can anyone explain it in plain English? I was pretty good addict flashing Roms on my Nexus 1, but am kinda afraid to do anything with my new Dx, for unknown (to me) reason.

Also, i have heard or read somewhere that if i wipe everything in recovery, before flashing new "zip", i will be stuck at M logo forever.....is that correct?? I would appreciate anyone who can explain these.............ty.
[Droid X Android Development] MrDanger:
...Just FYI... there is a 2.2 SBF. It restores everything youm messed up within the system files.
[Droid X Android Development] tdrake2406:
where is this 2.2 sbf you speak of?
[Droid X Android Development] jerichi:
http://www.928droid.com/DroidX.htm

Download and install over stock or themed it will deodex for you
[Droid X Android Development] droidsftw:
So once this is done if u don't like the theme, which im not saying is the case, U can load another right on top of it and still be deodexed with the official ota update?
[Droid X Android Development] jerichi:
Correct

Sent from my DROIDX
[Droid X Android Development] dekend:
i am aware there is a 2.2 sbf file.. but its taboo to speak of. Motorola has been sending out cease orders like candy when ever that phrase is thrown around.

now if someone had it, and would be kind enough to pm me or email it to me.. then that would be absolutely ammmmaaaazzzziinnng!
[Droid X Android Development] MrDanger:
What about

this

?? That is what I am referring to.
[Droid X Android Development] JinxtPhoto:
Does anyone know if this is safe to install over stock OTA if you have uninstalled some of the bloatware? I just want my black notification bar back. Is there a way to manually deodex yet? I'm under the assumption that the old way doesn't work for the new OTA.

Too bad petitions are worthless because I believe Motorola/Verizon really needs to get with the program and actually allow us to un-install the bloat. I understand and sympathize with why they would include pre-installed apps (same as PC OEM's pre-load crap), but I'm truly at a loss for words as to why they would be so ingrained to the system that an official update will go FUBAR you should you get rid of useless crap like Blockbuster, Amazon MP3, VZ Navigator and CityID amongst some other crap. At least the PC companies can't block you from uninstalling by making updates break your system if their software isn't there. As much as I dislike blur it makes sense to need those system files. It just doesn't make sense for the other crap.

I'd even go so far as to say I'd be willing to purchase a vanilla android license if Motorola would allow it to be installed (Yes, I understand how wrong that statement is given the Open-Source angle).

Seriously Motorola, I'll give you more money if you'll hook me up with Vanilla Android on my Droid X.
[Droid X Android Development] dekend:
unfortunately that does not work if you attempted to flash the 2.1 sbf because of the new boatloader version. By flashing 2.1 over the 2.2 OTA you overwrite files that can only be fixed by having the FULL 2.2 sbf file.
[Droid X Android Development] influxvicions:
Do I need to wipe DATA and CACHE before flashing this update.zip? I got rooted official 2.2 OTA right now.
[Droid X Android Development] dekend:
you should not have too.. it should overwrite you system files as is.. but some will say its always good to wipe before installing any update.zip.
[Droid X Android Development] MrDanger:
Ah.. I should read the OP sometimes.. lol. But you are right.. that's basically what you should have used instead of the 2.1.

But you have a new Droid X now and you can use the semi 2.2 sbf now lol
[Droid X Android Development] dekend:
exactly...

never again will i work on my phone when i am that tired.
[Droid X Android Development] catalystsupreme2:
Im currently downloading TBH froyo 2.2 over my OTA 2.2. If something goes wrong will i be able to restore my nandroid backup
[Droid X Android Development] influxvicions:
Thanks bro but I just decide to wipe and flash. Now I got it up and running and I can confirm that after this update you can install any theme so is fully deoxed.

I use this theme in top of the black one. http://new.alldroid.org/default.aspx?g=posts&m=8375
[Droid X Android Development] catalystsupreme2:
Also sorry for the stupid question...but do i apply tbh deodex through Bootstraper--> deodex.zip?
[Droid X Android Development] dekend:
through clockwork recovery
[Droid X Android Development] catalystsupreme2:
How do I confirm that I'm deodex
[Droid X Android Development] dekend:
your odex files should be gone from your system/* folders.

too complicated?

Then try to install a new theme (service.jar or Framework). If your successful then your deodex, if you failed then.. well your not :)
[Droid X Android Development] catalystsupreme2:
Looked in system folder via root explorer and no odex files, so I think I'm good. However,i installed gala 1.5 and my click isn't white
[Droid X Android Development] luke1333:
got to a file manager, i use root explorer and go to system/framework and if all the files are .jar then you are deodexed and good to go!
[Droid X Android Development] senormoll:
is it possible to update from the original 2.2 leak? or do you need the OTA update first? I haven't seen this confirmed or denied in the threads about this. At first I was unsure if it changed the bootloader, but now I'm concerned that not only will it not change the bootloader but will EXPECT the bootloader from the OTA update...just really trying to avoid bricking this thing lol :(
[Droid X Android Development] matrix2004:
I have both odex and jar? Is that bad?
[Droid X Android Development] MrDanger:
No it's not BAD per say... it's just that you are NOT deodexed and do can NOT apply themes.
[Captivate General] Postal76:
I tried installing the update with a rooted stock ROM, and it failed. I then reverted to stock with Odin and tried again. Once again, it failed.

Is Odin somehow not truly returning the phone to factory defaults? Is there anything I can do?
[Captivate General] tanneji:
Yeah that's what happened with me as well .... Over on the main JH7 release thread that seems to be a common theme. I used this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790080&page=11 in order to get going ... it worked great!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgaviota:
Hi, I have a Captivate, and with the new rotated kernel we can at last use Galaxy S Roms without drawbacks (well, they must be 2.1 roms).

Is there a stable Rom with bloatware removed?

Or what I9000 firmware would you recommend?

[Fascinate General] hartford:
Is there a way to change the stock email program (the list of message part - not the messages themselves as those are fine) from white text on a black background to either the reverse, or some other color combination? I'm finding that, depending on the lighting, it is rather difficult to easily identify read messages from unread messages. If there is no way to change the color combo, perhaps there is a better way to highlight unread messages? Thanks....
[Fascinate General] DeezNotes:
From what I can remember, you can change the white background to a yellow-ish background to make it easier to read. Not sure about white on black though.
[Fascinate General] Ender519:
The white to yellow background is only if you are reading a specific email. There is no way I can find to change the colors of the list of emails. You'll have to probably wait for custom ROM, unless rooting can provide a workaround. I know there are other email apps floating around for other Galaxy devices, but I haven't messed with my Fascinate yet because I'm waiting for a sure fire backup/restore method.
[Streak 5 General] streakNmyPants:
So after reading of the threads on here and going to TMONews and seeing that it would be Nov2010 for the release allegedly.

I went to dell.com and chatted with one of the reps and he advised me that TMOBILE will definitely get the Dell Streak :D, however, (bad news) won't be anytime this year :mad::mad:

So conflicting information from TmoNews and Dell rep... I rather listen to TmoNews since Dell is horrible on their information about the Streak from the start.

I'm willing to buy another Streak that has full functionality with Tmobile 3G service.

How about you guys?

[About XDA developers] nabicat:
Probably beyond the scope of this thread, but why split them out? The way they are now guarantees a faster decline as they are hard to find. Perhaps move them into a large discussion forum (Legacy Devices), with them still arranged into sub-forums. That way they don't clutter up the newer forums, but still are accessible via the app.
[Captivate General] saint168:
I would like to start a thread to discuss what is the optimal GPS setting for the Captivate after installing the update. From what I can see, the update didn't change my LbsTestMode setting at all. My GPS is now working pretty well, still can't compare to the HTC Aria I had before but acceptable. I wonder if we can further tweak the GPS setting to make it work better.
[Captivate General] oldeight:
the only change i seen was if you check auto config it takes you back to server port 7275 and changes the server to a new one.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
yesterday there was a thread started about those who got the update successful, and the guy did a test of his gps with screen shot. A) how do you track your route, B) how do you take a screen shot?

it looked like he was using the maps app but i looked all over it for a way to track my route!? thanks..
[Captivate General] smokestack76:
Thats my tracks from the market
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
can you screenshot with it?
[Captivate General] jaimingandhi:
It seems that most people who had messed with the GPS settings before the update are not getting optimal GPS performance after the update (This is true even if they change the GPS settings to stock original that shipped with the update).
[Captivate General] JvKintheUSA:
So moral of the story is to change GPS settings to stock before you update....?
[Captivate General] jaimingandhi:
I would guess so... unless there are few phones that Samsung shipped with a hardware defect.

Am taking my phone to AT&T today.
[Captivate General] joedoe:

My GPS doesn't work at all for some reason. I don't know if I have a totally defective phone or the update didn't have anything at all in it that fixed the GPS. I'm ready to just give up on this phone having a working GPS.
[Captivate General] jaimingandhi:
Did you change your GPS settings prior to the update? If yes, welcome to the "group"
[Captivate General] saint168:
My GPS is definitely working better after the update. It used to take 30 second - 5 minutes to get a fix. So far I have been able to get a GPS fix within 15 seconds.

My settings are:

Tracking

S/W Test

MS Based

Cold Start

GPS Plus On

Dynamic Accuracy On

Accuracy 50

SkyHook On

PC Tool Off

supl.google.com

Port 7276

Secure Socket Off

AGPS Supl

As far as tracking my position with driving, it's not perfect but acceptable. At time the GPS would put me on the local street next to the freeway but not too often. It takes about 30 sec to 1 minute to locate me while indoor so I have no problem doing my FourSquares checkins.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Actually, I never touched my GPS settings prior to the update, and I get crappy tracks. I had a Captivate which I changed the settings on, but then I ended up exchanging it for a new one a couple days before the update, and left it exactly as I found it, and GPS is spotty as hell.
[Captivate General] Dell2:
First of all, I'd like to thank you for posting this thread, it's exactly what I have been looking for. The other threads keep getting hi-jacked by people who couldn't get the update. Hey you knew when you rooted you wouldn't be able to get OTA updates, get over it and wait till someone figures it out.

Back on topic, my GPS is definitely better. I did change my settings before the update in LbsTestMode to the recommended settings. My gps locked quicker, but it was constantly losing the lock. So i used the shortcut method to go into LbsTestMode and changed back to stock settings. It was like the phone was set to lock at exactly 30 seconds, 30 tests with an average of a little under 30 seconds.

The accuracy was a little worse, 50m compared to 15m. But it was also losing the lock quickly, so I changed the spirent setting to supl.google.com. Now i lock between 10 and 15 seconds and it stays locked. My settings:

s/w test

standalone

hot start

gps plus- on

dynamic acc. - on

accuracy- 50

skyhook- on

use pc tool- off

custom config

7276

secure socket- off

agps- supl
[Captivate General] bsc7080xsc:
So maybe the answer in the end, sad to say, is to buy an aftermarket gps device with bluetooth integration and bypass the built-in gps altogether.
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
I've been messing with the gps all day and cannot get a lock at all. Not even for a second. Messed with my gps settings before the update.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
Two months in and I've seen hundreds of threads about the GPS on the captivate, The GPS its broken, no good, damage. Lets get over it and move on. We f@$k BTW new update its a lil better but still sucks. My nexus one located me with no problem spot on. Change your phone why u can. I wish I was under the 30 day return policy.
[Captivate General] liquid blue:
The only settings I changed were the server before the update. I checked the settings after the update and I had Server as spl.google.com and Standalone in Operation Mode. I switched to autoconfig and those changed to some new server and I changed Operation Mode to MS Based as in jaimingandhi's link. Before I made those changes it took about 3-4 mins to lock on, now it takes about a minute, so not 15 seconds like others have said, but better. Will do more testing later. I count for two as I've got to Captivates at home. But it looks like different settings work for different people.

Edit: Tried again today, lock takes still 3-4 minutes and loses it constantly and there is no accuracy of location whatsoever.
[Captivate General] LiqudDeth:
I updated successfully and still had issues with GPS locks until I powered down my phone, removed the battery, sim card, and external sd card, replaced them, and then rebooted the phone. After that I was getting a GPS lock in 15 seconds or less and not constantly dropping signal as long as I had line of sight to the sky (a.k.a. through the windshield).

hello all. i recently installed s2u2 on my htc hd2. previous i had agammemnon hd2 lockscreen pic on the default lockscreen. so i was wondering if it can be implemented on the s2u2 instead of the normal picture.

does anyone know? :-d
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Neville.Holland:
am i to understand that you want to customise the lock screen picture?

take a look in the settings under wallpaper.

you have the option to navigate to a folder and select either the folder or a particular picture as the wallpaper. there is even the option to change every x minutes

no no.i want to change the normal picture of the slider in the s2u2 with this one
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] devabhishek:
just copy these 2 images in the gfx folder and you are good to go...

just do as i say

1) download unzip and copy these two images arrows and arrows 2 to your storage card

2) in the s2u2 folder click iclock2 (to close the s2u2 application)

3) using file explorer copy both the files go to device --> program files --> s2u2

--> gfx paste these files here ( yes, overwrite)

4) now start s2u2 and enjoy...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmolition:
What did you do to it?

Search around the forum, there is a post talking about getting into download mode with hardware lock phones.

If you are able to get into download mode you can use ODIN to install stock ROM again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbirg:
Something incredibly stupid, I tried flashing a custom kernel on the stock ROM.

Yeah that's all I've been doing. I've read all the threads I can find about how to get into download mode with a locked Vibrant, but no luck =[.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
Launch Odin

Plug in USB to PC not the Phone

Insure Phone is off

Hold down Vol +/-

Plug in cable

Hold down +/- about a second

Walla you are in Download and should see a yellow triangle
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
Have you tried turning off your phone and turning it on holding down the Vol +/- and power and entering Recovery mode?

From there you could flash a nandroid backup if you made one that is. Sometimes I get lucky if its in the regular recovery and use the Re-do package option and sometimes I get it up and running.

Of course it just depends on where you are in your flash and what your phone will allow you to do.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rbirg:
Tried that oh so many times, and it just wouldn't budge.

At first I was actually able to run ADB commands... and before I had read more about it, I booted it into recovery (instead of dl mode fml) and wiped cache/user. I already tried reflashing zips to see if CW would start up so I could restore my nandroid backup I had made.

Anyways, now ADB doesn't even recognize the phone. And I tried to install the drivers on my laptop to see if that would do the trick, but I'm still stuck.

Edit: I just tried to use the method you gave in your first post again and I just get the battery charging screen. Thanks for trying to help though, I appreciate it.
