[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kho3000:
Is the phone rooted? If so and you have Clockwork Recovery or ROM Manager w/ it then turn the phone off, turn it on (holding power button and down volume button to get into boot, go into recovery.

In recovery you'll see some options for wipe data/factory reset. Also, may want to wipe the cache then go into advanced and wipe Delvik Cache.

This is from memory... soo I suggest searching the net specifically youtube or Google videos for reseting the phone back to stock. There are hundreds of videos and even more information which can be found online.

If you're not rooted, I unfortunately don't know the process the reset the phone is.

Try:

1) Download stock ruu

2) Run stock ruu

The only one I've seen is the previous update so you'll need to do another flash ota to get current.

Hello guys!

I wanted to change a few icons on my HD2 2.5 sense.

I use "cfc_gui" but the export of the manila png is very bad!:mad:

Do you know which other program I use to edit?

Sorry for my English!

Thanks:)

I've followed TGA_Gunnman's post on rooting the Samsung Galaxy S and I've managed to root my phone but I wanted to know whether I should manually reboot or wait for the Galaxy to reboot itself. And is there any kind of info on the phone to show whether it's been rooted or not?
[Vibrant General] player4lifeov:
So I just did a benchmark test for Neocore and got 55.5. I thought we had the better GPU, can someone enlightened me please.
[Vibrant General] jackhuny:
2.2 vs 2.1

JIT vs Lag Fix
[Vibrant General] boodies:
No i think it has to do with the fps limiters on eaxh phone.
[Vibrant General] amd_203:
(Face palm) Why do people rely on these damn benchmarks? Honestly! They don't benchmark user experience, you're aware of that, right? Plus it was a benchmark by an application that was meant for Adreno GPUs. Can you guess what the G2s GPU is? Point is the Power VR SGX 540 that's in are phones is the most powerful GPU out for smartphones this year, unless the Tegra 2 releases something this year. Which I doubt. Are GPU is more powerful but the G2s is no slouch and is close.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Not really helpful since the Vibrant is fps capped. No one knows what its true Neocore score would be.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
one other thing is that is a diff of 2 frames per second, your eye can't tell the diff between 55 and 57 so it does not really matter, if the diff was 20 frames then I might get excited ....

​
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
jackhuny is right, JIT probably helped the FPS. The Neocore benchmark was released in the days of Android 1.1, when native applications weren't possible (No C++ or C, just Java), so we can assume that the benchmark is still written in Java.

The JIT compiler included in Froyo helps the execution of Java bytecode by compiling it to a native ARM binary as needed, instead of interpreting every instruction (which is very slow). This would be why the G2, with Froyo, has a higher FPS count.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
lag fix doesn't help 3d performance

kingklick already tried BS people into thinking his kernel with his "Speedy King Lag Fix"

improved nova ...to bad they message and the following message i replied back to him got lost in the array failure the other day

But jit is true. My N1 went up 4 FPS when running this on 2.2

Also already mentioned, we are capped at 56 FPS

And lol two FPS difference

BTW i ran on new update/no lagfix and got 55.8

EDIT

2nd run got 55.9
[Vibrant General] PSP_Hacker:
As far as I know the FPS limiter on the Galaxy S is the same as the screen's refresh rate, 60 Hz (I saw it in a system information app). It is most likely the same on the G2, as it was on the G1. No one would set an FPS limit of 55 or 57 because those numbers aren't standard. What if you want to play a 59.97 or 60 FPS video on the Galaxy S? I have done this, and it plays perfectly.

The reason why you see the FPS go below 60 is because of a few frames being delayed due to some other process working hard. Game consoles usually get stable FPS, while mobile phones can have a little jitter and inconsistency. That's because the console has almost all of it's resources available for the game; their kernel is very simple because it's a single hardware platform, and the system only has a dozen things running simultaneously with the game being given the highest priority. Your phone is running over 100 processes, big and small. For example, if your phone checks the filesystem for Gmail messages that haven't been sent to the server, your phone will lag a bit. I think this makes perfect sense, especially since Java can have a big footprint even for the smallest things like checking the current WLAN signal strength, which is why I think Android should be made more native to ARM instead of being compatible with everything...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Try running something more intensive. It should run faster than the G2. Nenamark used to freeze the entire phone after one run but it has been updated so I'll run it on JI5 and see what I get. 44 FPS and it's still not acting right after the first run.
[Vibrant General] demo23019:
downloaded it runs like crap but still manages 47.8 fps

2nd run it froze for like 10 sec and only got 43 FPS

3rd No go it hardlocked and had to remove battery to reboot
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
That's exactly what happened to me
[Vibrant General] boodies:
Exactly. Once more graphic intensive games come out, the SGS will reign supreme.
[Vibrant General] gaalaagaa:
Mom style. lol
[Vibrant General] player4lifeov:
I appreciate all the replies and thank you for the information you guys provided.
[Vibrant General] Onemoa:
I love my Vibrant even more now after reading all these things about the G2. It seems a lot of people are reporting that the screen moves around and if you hold the phone the wrong way the keybored slides out its a big prob but not for every G2 but so far a 50/50 on the poll. The other thing is the rom size for the G2. it was supposed to be 4gb they are only seeing 1.5gb thats less then our Vibrants have.. My first Android phone was the G1. I got it the day it came out and this is kind of sad to see that it seems the G2 was rushed out.. But then agian it does make me feel a little better that I did make the right choice in getting the Vibrant and even more so now that we know the GPS can be fixed and is fixed for the people that got the update.
[Vibrant General] sheek360:
i was this close to preordering the g2, but i did my homework.

no DLNA, not even amoled (coming from a nexus, superlcd is a downgrade) and no internal flash...

im glad i got my vibrant instead, i regret nothing; would be nice if the vibrant had hspa+ baseband like the g2 though... but oh well..
[Vibrant General] Vanilla gorilla:
I just ran neocore and quadrant. I got 56.1 on neo and saw my fps on qaud go to 59 so im not worried.

Quit the *****in over silly **** this thing is a monster.

Sgs
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Galaxy S is a Monster, but I don't think there's a game that actually make use of the GPU full potential except for the PS1 emulator (runs great btw, CPU is limiting Audio performance, once JIT hits, everything should be smooth).
[Vibrant General] boodies:
It is even plagued by the screen problem in the nexus one lol WTF
[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
i wouldnt be concerned as everyone else has said about the quadrant scores. I was wondering about the linpack scores though. we can barely get to 10 and the g2 is pushing 34 and higher. what would be the cause of this considering we are supposed to have the superior gpu, cpu, and storage space. any thoughts?
[Vibrant General] sheek360:
We have Android 2.1. The g2 has 2.2. 2.2 comes with the just in time compiler. How it works, I dunno... makes it speeds things up up to 450% I read somewhere. Hopefullybsomeone can explain it better
[Vibrant General] trashcan:
every smart phone has issues when they come out. I am sure the G2 will be no exception and in a few weeks people will start complianing.:D sometimes in this industry is like you've bought a lemon then just eat it up.
[Vibrant General] smashpunks:
How about already and not in weeks...
[Vibrant General] tpreludesh:
I know jit works to speed the system up but I didn't think it would be that huge of a difference in linpack. I kinda figured it had something to do with that though

Run nenamark on the G2 then we can really compare , nenamark got more graphics , vibrant scores 47.8 fps., my friends evo only 17.3 , wanna see how G2 works

That is great. Now how about we talk about G2's HSPA+ "speeds": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LX05OO-X55g

^Video convinced me I should not ***** about my Vibrant to T-Mobile because, well, all T-Mobile devices suck :p
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Thanks for the video, it makes me feel better about the Vibrant. Looks like we are not missing much in terms of speed.

P.S. The guy's voice is super annoying.
[Vibrant General] t1h5ta3:
2.1 vs 2.2 9.x vs 14.x in linpak w/o jit, just wait.... a fully functioning 2.2 will be sweet!
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
For those thinking Vibrant will beat G2 at benchmarks with Froyo will be in for a rude awakening.

That said, benchmarks are nice to compare but don't have much of an impact on real-life performance.
[Vibrant General] boodies:
there you go. i guess this is the benchmark to use for upcoming handsets.

Normally you execute "sh" to open a shell and then you keep streaming commands to it.

The only difference is that you need to use "su" instead of "sh"

I never had a problem with the g1 but am having trouble setting it up for the g2.

When developer mode is on it doesn't install the adb drivers. I used the drivers that were downloaded with the sdk setup. Tried installing them manually through the device manager and it wouldn't accept the drivers.

I'm using windows 7 ultimate x64. I'm not computer illiterate by any means and never had trouble in the past so it's really bugging me.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Crap, meant to put this in G2 Development...
[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
Probably because sdk setup driver's inf file doesn't have entries for G2.

If you have linux desktop, connect your phone and use lsusb to find the VID & PID. You can add those to the inf file and perhaps it will work properly.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
That's what I figured and the reason I gave up trying.

Is the driver available somewhere, can the information be added manually (I suppose I can open the inf file when I get home), or do I just have to wait for Google to release an updated driver?
[G2 and Desire Z General] themadbogart:
VID and PID

vendor id: 0bb4

product id: 0c91
[G2 and Desire Z General] jashsu:
So open %SDK%\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf with a text editor and insert this under the sections [Google.NTx86] and [Google.NTamd64]

;T-Mobile G2
%SingleAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C91
%CompositeAdbInterface% = USB_Install, USB\VID_0BB4&PID_0C91&MI_01
;

and see if that lets the driver install properly.

Hold volume down while powering on the phone and you will get to bootloader, from there you can select recovery
[G2 and Desire Z General] Jorsher:
Nice, thanks.

Yesterday when I was trying to get to it, I tried holding power/voldown, power/volup, power/camera, etc.

Guess I just needed to press the power button instead of holding it.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Tripod87:
Download PDA Net on your PC and install it, it will automatically install the drivers for you. You can uninstall PDA Net afterwards if you want and the drivers will stay.

There seems to be a problem with Win7 x64 when installing the drivers using the SDK (which looks solved by the posts above, but if those don't work, try PDA Net).

Ok, I'm starting to feel a little incompetent here. I still can't get it to work and this is what I've tried so far (Just for the heck of it, I've re-installed my G1 without a glitch so it has to be the G2):

1. edited the .inf and manually directed windows to the folder - did not work

2. used USBDeview to uninstall all HTC related drivers and tried it again (I've lost count how many times I've done that)

3. went into registry and deleted htc related entries and then step 2 - still no luck

4. went through step 2 and 3 but then installed pdaNet still drivers won't install

5. just run out of ideas.

BTW all this with USB debugging checked.

any other ideas?

Thanks
[G2 and Desire Z General] konoplya:
this is what i did..

1. downloaded the SDK starter kit

2. from the Manager i installed all other components including the USB driver

3. enabled "USB debugging mode" on the phone itself

4. connected the phone via USB to the PC

5. when i connected the phone, window (on pc) popped up saying new hardware found or something to that nature, then i clicked "locate and install driver"

6. when it asked what folder to point it to, you have to select the root folder of where the SDK is (in my case my SDK folder is on my desktop).. i was making a mistake and selecting the subfolder in the SDK where the USB driver was, you have to select the actual root folder because the driver is in one of the subfolders (im not sure which).. it will automatically install everything at that point

***note: make sure you install the JAVA SDK as well, you need to install that before the android SDK in order for everything else to work

If you used ODIN to flash back to the stock firmware, it flashes a blank bml3. Your unlock codes wont be in that file.
