[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iivuch:
Whilst a full Android Build has some flavours thus making it taste-dependent, kernels are the core component of each meal here - and therefore I think it is a valid question - which is the best kernel so far.

There are several - each one with a problem

1. some freeze due to gsensor

2. some work with RMNET, some with PPP only

3. some have premature flash on camera

4. some have louder sound volumes

5. some have tethering

6. some cause random data disconnection ..

But it seems that the problems are different. It seems that if the best of all kernels is collected into one - then there will be a perfect kernel.

I have tried several but lost count and trace of which kernel exhibit which problems.

Important for me are 1, 4 and 6 to be working. The rest are bonuses. Have you tried a kernel that meets this?

If not - could you describe your kernel - what is working and what is not - taken from personal experience !
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] assaad33:
Hello,

I tried the froyo 2.2.

It freezes when I am calling someone (usually I can't do missed call because the OS freezes and I can't end the call before my friend opens on me the phone and answers :S)

This is the most annoying.

Also sometimes It looses the touch. Only buttons work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iivuch:
Yes that seems like a G-sensor problem - if you use GScript Lite and the two little scripts to kill the gsensor - freezes will go away. But you will loose the gsensor :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] plotzkella:
That's a general issue of actual kernel-developement. I think I have tried almost every kernel since the past weeks.

Whatever kernel you are using you always have one ore more issues. :(

The actual evo-kernel gereration resolved touchscreen freezes, has tethering, louder volumes but only works with ppp. There are (new) problems with camera (flash), music stuttering and random data disconnections.

The older desire-based kernels do not have random data disconnections (especially on rmnet), camera works imho better (but not perfect), but have random touchscreen freezes (if gsensor is turned on), no tethering and are more quiet in using the phone.

You see that there is always a compromise you have to face. :eek:

AFAIK the kernel developers have their focus on developing an EVO-based kernel and they are working hard to resolve the issues. The desire-based kernels don't have a great future because there seem to be general issues that cannot be resolved. :confused:

Not to forget the new Desire HD. I cannot estimate, what potential there is for using it on HD2.

IMHO it will take another 3-6 weeks to resolve the greates issues with EVO-based kernels. Maybe earlier... :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] iivuch:
Indeed!

Yes, the EVO kernels fix some problems probably because they are not very mature yet. GSensor still not working properly, and although freezes have gone, an annoying lag to wakeup is still there (not often - but still - noticeable)

I tried mattc 1.8 .. which is based on EVO, and although I liked the nice strength of the sound volume, it would drop data from time to time. It is great when it is working, but you can't see if it is working, unless you open something that needs data, because the indicator always stays - as if all is working well. And that of course means - all your background sync will fail from time to time.

I reverted back to mattc 1.7 RMNET which has both very fast and very stable data connection. I had to disable the GSensor - to get rid of the screen freezes.

Anyway - lets support the developers - they are doing a great job! I am sure that not before long, we will all have very stable Androids on our phones, and then we will be creating yet another partition on our SD cards to accommodate the new ports of WP7. On a completely different topic - the new HD7 - apart from having slightly more RAM - has the same hardware specs as our HD2. It seems that HD2 will keep its greatness for a bit longer :) And yet, its price is dropping on ebay, as it is now almost a year old model.

I'm using Mac... can i use it in mac? or any of you have the link for mac OS?

Many thanks... btw what is the recomended ROM for Galaxy S I9000?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mickeko:
No need to downgrade as no firmwares are available in test mode. :P

I'm assuming (can't verify though) that changing the appropriate registry key will enable test mode just as any previous versions. If it doesn't, then Samsung has probably abandoned test mode entirely, and there's really no point in being able to enable it. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mull1s:
i cant seem to find a download link for 1.5.3.10093_31 :/ anyone?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dom89:
Effectively, changing registry keys still work in this new version.

Version 1.5.3.10093_31 updated through previous KIES update
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] miki4242:
No more test mode woohoo :(

Well, it was fun while it lasted, tests don't last forever...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Ian_Cog:
Maybe it'll work on Windows 7 64bit now?

Maybe...

I just have to mount SD card first, otherwise my phone is not recognized by Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ebbhead:

Have to shut down "Launcher PRO" first though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Fihlvein:
Also commenting that I've been using Kies with Windows 7 64-bit for a long time to manage Galaxy S, even updated firmware, and never had any problems.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] robert_schl:
Test mode still exists, they only removed the key combination and renamed the registry key. If you edit the registry, you can still enable test mode. The value has to be under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\FUS, be named "Setting_1" (formerly "FUS_TEST"), of type REG_DWORD and needs to be 1 for test mode and 0 for normal mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] TravUK:
Alas, just the opposite, mine had been working just fine in W7/64 and this latest update seems to have killed itself, and now downgrading/uninstall/reinstall/windows restore all results in a crapped out Kies.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mstrandbo:
Chill, you're not the only ones ;) No updates here either, but eagerly awaiting 2.2. And Google Nav would be nice.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Finguz:
Kies just updated again to version 1.5.3.10093.80.

Hi,

I have a problem with my Desire. Sometimes (random) when I activate the phone after the standby-mode the phone has no connection to my provider, I can't telephone. Internet works fine. I have to restart the phone to get the connection back.

I hope you understand waht I mean, and I want to apollogize for my bad english and if there is a thread like this already in this forum..

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogcmp6:
So I am considering rooting my phone, and I have been poking around and noticed all of the "essential" rooting threads are ages old, I have had my evo 4g for a week, and coming from a noob considering rooting I have a few questions (secondly im sure most of my questions just involve digging, but I am the kind of learner who needs to see everything in one or two places, not 20 or 30 different ones) so here goes my questions...

1. Why should I root, what are the advantages

2. What is the difference between deoxed and odexed

3. what is the step by step guide to rooting (im running snow leopard, but can get access to windows, would prefer to do it in snow leopard)

4. What are roms, kernals...other lingo and definations I need to or should know before rooting

5. what does rooting disable

and 6. Whats the coolest thing i can do once I am rooted

A special thanks to any one willing to take there time and explain these items to me rather then link me to another thread.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kornsaq:
you seem like you haven't done any research what so ever.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottspa74:
What OS did you come from?

Yeah, it's kind of important to be willing to read a LOT. Or you probably shouldn't even bother. If you don't wanna read and really examine, then I would just stay stock. Evo is a fine phone stock.

'What's the 'coolest'thing you can do?'

(Aside from reading), I would say, that would be up to you what's coolest.

ROM is read only memory. Kernel, as I understand it, is the resource your ROM relies on to run, and greatly impacts battery life, and various functionalities. And allows for overclocking/undervolting, etc.

Root would disable/disallow you from accepting OTAs directly from Sprint
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogcmp6:
I have done some reading on it, just as i said everything is spread out, and I have a very difficult time combining stuff from different areas, I am currently using osx, and all of the noob rooting instructions im able to find need files to be modified in windows/linux (osx is unix based)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
Read the sticky thread at the top of this Q&A forum. The thread is called "Common misconceptions and useful information." ricsim included some really good pointers at the top of the thread and I have my own contributions at the bottom of the thread. I know you'll probably be a little annoyed by the fact that you have to find your own answers but it's critical that you learn what you're doing to your phone and why. Unless you do you'll turn into the next user who gets flamed for posting something similar to "OMG WHRE r Da GOOGLKE appzzzz" or anything resembling that.

What I'm trying to say is the rest of us learned by researching and we have faith that you can too.

Good luck.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dogcmp6:
Since i posted this, I have been doing some clicking around, and im very very slowly understanding stuff, i will read through the mentioned thread, and the reason im asking these questions is an attempt to help me understand some more of this, i really dont want to risk bricking my phone (however low the risk is) with out knowing what im doing

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] expsvetly:
I have question about Color Depth of the screen. We know that HD2 with WM have a 65K colors. If wm have limitation 65K colors , Android can use 16M colors. If hardware (display and controller) support 16M, I think -HD2 can display Hi 16M color depth.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Cerv3r:
no i dont think it does... when you drop down the notification bar, the notification items backround looks like poo... but when i took a screenshot and loaded it on my computer it looks smooth compared to the one on the phone
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] expsvetly:
No Good

May be have hardware limitation.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lonelykatana:
I believe we are stopped by hardware :(. I doubt HTC would fork out extra (however little it is) for a screen which cant be used.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] nikshah:
AFAIK it's not a software limitation on winmo's part, but drivers released by manufacturers. Hopefully the devs will be able to port over/ reverse engineer a display driver.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mskip:
HD2 screen is limited to 64k by hardware restrictions and NOT software so 16M colour depth will not be possible in Android on HD2.

Mark.

I guess they never realised we would 1 day be running android on a WinMo device which only supports 64k colour lol :rolleyes:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sausagedog:
i always thought it was drivers and software. think we need product code or something off the screen and do some digging. even cheap nokias are 16m

If you didn't know the phone was restricted in color, would you really notice?

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thE_29:
Hello!

So, some guys tested my bat-script and they reported that it works! So i create a new thread..

All you need is a java installation (i think jdk, becuase you need the jar binary) and adb! You have to edit the bat file and

set the 2 variables to the directory.

The other variables (sed, smali, baksmali, dexopt-wrapper) are in the package, so you shouldnt change it.

If anything necessary is not found, the script will not start!!

Attention: If you run the bat file, be sure your mobile is NOT IN STANDBY!! You have to be in normal mode (not recovery or sth) and the screen turned on!

So not in lockscreen/standby mode, because otherwhise SuperUser does not popup and ask for root-rights.

When you dont allow root-rights you will see a permission error during the script and this is bad (it will ask you 2-3 times for root rights).

I made this script, so everyone can look at the commands (not hiding inside an exe file which could do anything).

Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/420586328/install_lockscreen.zip

Windows verion needs to be on rapidshare/filehoster, because i have put the sed binary + dll into it (you need it for windows and autopatching the .smali file)

Just download the bat script and edit it with an editor (notepad++ or jedit or just notepad) and set the ADB variable to adb.exe and JAVA_DIR to the JDK-directory (not including \bin - just the main-directory).

Tested successfully on my JM5 and some other user with JM8 and someone with JH2!

4 things todo (not for running the script, just for the future ;)):

1. create script for linux/mac os usage (shouldnt be so hard, but i have not so much time currently..)

2. auto-create an update.zip with the original android.policy.odex/.jar file for errors (because you cannot change this file if the phone cannot boot - su segmentation fault)

3. if /system/xbin/dd is not here or if it is missing the "conv=notrunc" option, the script should abort

4. create a version for deodexed mobiles/firmwares.

I dont have a clue, how to create an update.zip, so if anyone of you could give me a little help, i would be very happy :)

And i dont have a deodexed mobile, so someone should tell me the difference, so i can make a different script or the script should autodetect it.

Big thanx to Ateisti for found this solution: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=779803

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thE_29:
When someone would tell me what this is, then i can insert it in the script :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mopral:
Ateisti talk about it at the end of the first post of his thread
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thE_29:
Found it ;)

- By default, the menu button will also unlock the screen. To disable this behavior, you have to modify /res/values-hdpi-v4/bools.xml in /system/framework/framework-res.apk, and change the value of <bool name="config_disableMenuKeyInLockScreen">false</bool> to true. Can also be done by modifying code.

But, i have disabled WidgetLocker and just the AndroidLockscreen now..

I can hit so many times i want the menu button, the lockscreen will never be released..

I have JM5 (2.1). Maybe this is there different?

I will make on the weekend a linux version of the script and then i will also enable this feature..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Electroz:
There is also a way to do this from the android.policy smali files. I did it on my UGJH2.

go into "android.policy\com\android\internal\policy\impl\LockScreen.smali"...

Do a search for "return v4" and change it to "return v6" (this should be within the method ".method private shouldEnableMenuKey()Z", closer to the ".end method" line.)

To add it to your script, have it change this at the same time as the other file you edit and bingo, no more menu button unlock....

my fascinate is rooted and i attempted (foolishly) to replace the default device fonts. however, after following directions and "successfully" completing the steps, my phone rebooted and is now stuck on the samsung reboot screen.

i've tried wiping all data, removing cache, removal of sd card, and rebooting and i'm still stuck on the samsung main reboot screen.

is there anyway to fix this issue or at least restore my phone using terminal on a mac or command on windows? and if this is possible, would debugging have to be checked because i unchecked debugging after i rooted my phone.. thanks.

but after changing rom, i have a terrible problem.

when i closed the battery for change the simcard and turn it on. when the windows logo appears a blue screen showed and the gsm led begin to work (blinker).

after several soft resets the windows starts and ready to work but when i press the power button to standby the device (sometimes) for turn on the device (after standby) the screen didn't appear.!!

i'm very upset :(:(:(

after that i flashing the radio to newer version (1.18) and flash back to WM6.1 TOmal , WM6 , ... but i still have this problem.

in the tomal's wm6.1 rom (TML_v82_WM61_19960) before the problem shown an error appears under the windows logo > The Skin Is Not Loaded < and after that a black or blue screen appears and nothing...

as your experiences , this work would be harmful for the device ?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] -Jonny-:
It's not harmful - basically it totally wipes the device removing everything (including garbage). So you will, of course, need to flash a ROM afterwards.
