The first thing I would suggest doing is to update your recovery. Can someone help him out with using ROM Manager to install ClockWorkMod or AmonRa's recoveries? I've never personally used ROM Manager to do anything so I don't want to tell you how to do it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JxhnG:
Wouldn't both Amon_RA's and the ClockworkMod's recovery.img files require the telnet client (I don't it installed and currently can't get past the initial Google sign in to access any apps even if I did)? Or is there another way to update the recovery?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Ah right. So do this. Download CM 5.0.8-DS and the Google Add-on. Rename CM to update.zip and put it on the root of your SD card. Boot into recovery, click the two wipe options and follow the on-screen instructions, and click flash update.zip and let it do its thing. Reboot which should get you into the ROM, may take a few minutes to boot. Then rename the Google Add-on to update.zip and put it on the root of your SD card (you will have to move the first update.zip file off the SD card first). Boot back into recovery and select flash from update.zip again, reboot after it finishes and you should be good. You can then download ROM Manager and slap on a new recovery.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JxhnG:
Okay when trying to flash CM (renamed to update.zip), I get the following:

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
E: No signature (567 files)
E: Verification failed
Installation aborted.

I verified the zip file (before renaming it to update.zip) with MD5 if that makes a difference.

Weird, where did you download it from?

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] JxhnG:
I downloaded it from the CyanogenMod forum... but oh well I ended up just making a goldcard and now everything's good.

Thanks for the help.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] crypysmoker:
NOO.. Dude yoyu seriously overread into this.

If it already had been rooted, there is no point in making a goldcard as you will just screw something up. And all this because you didnt just hit the home button again. When that error pops up, all you have to do is close it and hit home and your done.

You dont need a telnet client and havent really for a while, especilly if your already rooted.

Gold cards are for phones that have not been rooted so dont waste your time.

Your best bet is, turn on the phone. let it boot. This is where people mess up because they have no patience. If that error pops up, just hit the home button. Sign into Wifi, Go to market, get Rom Manager. Go into rom manager, Flash Clockwork recovery, go to download roms, download the newest Cyanogen, install it and clock where it says download gapps. Backup and wipe. Now let it do its thing, reboot, have some patience for about 10 min and do it again, now your starting from scratch.

Again, Im glad you did soem research as most people dont here, but you read way to far into it and looked up rooting from scratch which you dont need to do

So, after I rooted, down graded, upgraded, and rooted again, I noticed my camera makes a click sound when ever I open up the camera app, pic or vid, or even cthruphone live wallpaper... can any one confirm that this has been happening before I rooted?

Sent from my Droid Incredible rooted 2.2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I_ronnik:
Not only you. I think its normal, some kind of shutter built into the camera module, I guess.... It clicks when I open the camera app, and when I exit it, or kill tasks if the camera was active. I'd say not a concern, as it has been that way with my phone before and after rooting. The only problem I've had is dust accumulating UNDER the camera glass, which can be blown out with aerosol duster through the four tiny slots around the camera, once the back phone cover (battery cover) is removed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kungfuturkey:
The phone has a mechanical auto focus instead of digital if you take a picture and look at the lens it will move slightly to focus.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmckee.cna:
Actually, I sent back my incredible because my speaker was blown (the made me do a battery pull thinking that would help!?) Got my new inc, and the camera does NOT make a sound when opening the camera or other apps that use the camera.

Thx beforehand!

Using Dinc skyraider 3.2 sense hydra kernel OC 1.15 ghz w/ ov

I noticed a problem when i tried to buy an app(ishoot) from the market,the transaction went ok, it charged the money from my account, but it would not download saying that authorization fail or something. Then i bough another app(fruit ninja) and it downloaded and installed fine. Then an update came out for it and it downloaded fine. Now every update that i try to install downloads fine, but does not install.. so does any1 know a solution to this, or does any1 know where to find the downloaded files so i could install using root explorer?? THX
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhillyCheez:
I use astro but i am sure it's the same.

I have the same problem every now and then and this is what i do...

go into /mnt/sdcard/download

in there you will find your .apk's. you probably have a few in there now. i would delete all of them. go back to market and re-download them. if they do not install, i go to the download folder and launch them through there.

works like a charm.

EDIT: this has nothing to do with what ROM or kernel you have. i have had this problem on every ROM i've tried.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheekyGreek:
Here's a weird one. I am not trying anything complicated. I just want to copy some music to my new 32GB external SD card that arrived in the post today. I put it into a microSD to SD adaptor, and slide it into my laptops SD slot. It shows up as fat32 and I drag 30 gigs of music on to it. After a long time it completes, and I check in with XP to make sure its all good. Yep fine.

However, the moment I insert it back into my I9000 things get weird. The status bar pops up the usual "Initialising SD card" message, then the media scanner comes up and completes in like a second. Then when I try to browse it from within the phone, the entire music directory has disappeared, and the OS is reporting that there is 28gb of 32gb free on the external sd. So I unmount the SD, slot it back into my pc, and find to my dismay the music directory has indeed been erased.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.. I need my tunes!!

Cheers,

C

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:
My 1st guess is fake/faulty card.

Copy files onto card with a reader.

Eject.

Insert again into reader.

Try to copy from card. (If it fails -> card is faulty or is FAKE)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] An Droid:
If I were to guess, when the phone says it's "Initializing SD card" it's likely formatting the card and erasing whatever data you had on it...

When you install the card in your PC, do you format it again and then copy the files? If so, try not to format it on the PC and let the phone do the formatting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ickyboo:
I fully agree. Let the phone format the card and then use MOUNT mode to copy the music over. It seems Fat32 (formated on PC) won't work well for our phones prob due to a flag setting or something the like too big cluster settings. Let the phone sort it out.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CheekyGreek:
Thanks for the help peeps. Here's what I've tried:

Xan: I tried copying files to and from the device using my PC's card reader, and found no problems with it. It is a Kingston MicroSD SDC4/32GB bought from a reseller on Amazon. Are there any tools for around for the pc to run diagnostic tests on SD cards? Maybe I should give that a go? But from the looks of it I think the error lies in the phone somewhere...

An Droid: I am inclined to agree with you. In my original post I stated that it said "Inititialising SD Card", this was a mistake, as it actually says "Preparing SD Card". I have tried formatting it from both the PC and the Phone and still get the same problem.

Icky Boo: I tried this method last night. Used the USB Debugging mode to Mount the phone's card's onto my PC. My Computer displays the two cards as two seperate Drives. I then tried copying all my music onto it. When the copy completed, I pressed "Turn of USB Storage Mode" on the I9000, which immediately prompted the status bar to again show "Preparing SD Card". Then when I used a file explorer to look at the card, it only had about a gig of music copied onto it. It is quite clear now that in "Preparing SD Card" it is doing something strange. Is there anyway to disable this?

Also there is a directory on the SD called Lost.DIR which seems to increase in size every time this happens. Could be a clue?

Finally, just to confirm my phone is mounting it correctly, to browse the SD card from within the phone the path is /sdcard/external_sd/ right? (I understand this is the new path for Froyo 2.2?)

Thanks for the help, sorry for the essay!

UPDATE: Ok, Xan, you were right all along. Finally got a new SD card (sandisk this time, not Kingston) and it works just as it should. Thanks for the help and to everyone else too :)
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Sounds great... now that we're deodexed, are we gonna run into any issues removing apps from the phone.

ALSO: Can you maybe add a list of the apps that are safe to delete and not worry about.
[Fascinate Android Development] stanrc:
Sweet, downloading now.

I assume this includes root, and are there any bing remains?

Also does this flash the whole /system or just /system/app and /system/framework?

Will I need to reinstall all my apps after this?
[Fascinate Android Development] billakid:
lol You had to be rooted to this lol and bing is gone thats the point of this rom remove all of verizons bloatware. and your apps might be on there
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
This doesn't include root nor remove/add bing since that file didn't have an odex.

What this does is, push the listed apk's and jar's to system/app, and system/framework, while also deleting all the odex files that will be left over.

Your files and settings will not be reset, nothing will be reset.
[Fascinate Android Development] stanrc:
I know that, I'm already rooted and have removed as much bing as I can. Thats why I asked.
[Fascinate Android Development] stanrc:
Great, thanks for clarification. Exactly what I needed to know.
[Fascinate Android Development] billakid:
Apps are still there guys not a data wipe O.o

Works great thx Frost
[Fascinate Android Development] DUNC4N:
Nice work frost, sorry I didn't get to test it last night. Looks like you got it dialed. Again good job.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Getting a F/C on bootup everytime... "The application DRMContentLauncher (process com.sec.android.app.drumula) and needs to close blah blah blah." Is there a way to make this go away or can we delete it?
[Fascinate Android Development] stanrc:
Same here, I was just going to rename it to something else.

Is looks like there is DrmUA that didn't get deodexed.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
I ended up just deleting all the DRM stuff... not sure if it's a bad idea. No issues yet. Are you planning on releasing a custom rom version at all? Possibly one maybe heavily optimized and stripped of all the unnecessary bloat and make that stuff possibly like add-ons for those that really want it? Just a thought.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Hmm never had FC on that thing. Were you guys on DI01 or without the full update applied?

I never applied that update, but I did however deodex my old system first, then applied the newer DI01 deodex on top of that. Damn complications...
[Fascinate Android Development] stanrc:
I had not applied the update in any way before installing this.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
I am on DI01, and the same thing is happening with me. I only received the force close once though. I went into Root Explorer and there was a DRM with an .odex still there, just moved all the DRM apps to disabled and all is good so far. What is that for anyway, sounds important

What are the benefits to deodexing the fascinate? Will it make the phone faster of what?
[Fascinate Android Development] zachchen1996:
What are the benefits to deodexing the fascinate? Will it make the phone faster? Clear up system space?
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
I know this doesn't include root...but do we lose root? I just want to make sure before modding. :o
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Nope, root remains
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
I believe it'll make theme-ing easier.. It will clean up a bit of space.

It will technically make it slower, but it might be so slight you can't tell a difference. It won't make it faster.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything. Source

From what I can tell - the Deodexed ROM is 86MB, and I am pretty sure the stock is like 150+
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
:rolleyes:

That's exactly what I just said. Themeing.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
hey man - some people want the drawn out answer too. :p
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Completely my fault, I had accidently left out that DRM thing from the script that removed all the odex files. I will upload a fixed one asap.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Don't those people drive you crazy?! :) :D
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
totally. lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Alright, link updated with the fix.

Sorry guys, but this did help me out track the only error I made.

Again I apologize, and hope you enjoy.

(The strange this is I booted up a while back with deodex'ed apps, and the left over odex files, and my phone didn't have and FC's lol.)
[Fascinate Android Development] :
Just noticed I'm getting camera FC's on both the first one and second one. The boot up FC has stopped though.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Hmm your right, i will test out an older one i had, ahh I hate errors lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
Yeah who knows. Thanks though I'm on a linux machine and for the life of me could not get Xeudoxus's deodex method to work through a virtual box.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Here, push this one, its deodex'ed but not zip-aligned and opt-png'ed and it works on my phone lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] :
That's crazy, it worked. I'm sitting here trying to make sense of why compressing images and in theory making them more efficient would cause FC's. Anyway lets just #blamesamsung
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
You know what, there were like 900 images in that app, wouldn't be surprised if one got corrupted while running it on xultimate.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Can you explain how to push this to replace the current one?
[Fascinate Android Development] pvgomer:
First Copy the camera.apk to your sd card. then use root explorer to move the file to system/app/ and overwrite the camera.apk that is there. It worked fine for me i am able use the camera now without the FC.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
thanks a bunch. i was trying to install as a straight up .apk file, but this worked like a charm.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Yeah that's definitely the easy way to do it, though you should learn to get comfortable using ADB.

I put the Camera.apk in my Tools folder in the SDK and then open a command prompt and cd to wherever you put the file.

Example: cd c:\android\tools

Then run the following command adb push Camera.apk /system/app/Camera.apk
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Flashed this version, added camera fix and the NexTheme...all running smooth...now I just need my stock lockscreen. :p

[Fascinate Android Development] elvenlemming:
I asked Frost about in #samsung-fascinate and he sent me this. Unzip this and push the android.policy.jar file to /system/framework and it should work. If you want the stock call receive screen too change the unlock screen in settings from puzzle to glass.
[Fascinate Android Development] CDODGE:
Android Stock or Fascinate stock?

I would like to keep the Fascinate stock unlock screens.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:

[Fascinate Android Development] elvenlemming:
Yeah, I think we all are. We're probably going to have to wait until Frost can do something about it later tonight.
[Fascinate Android Development] pats4life100:
hey

hey i get it to FC message do yell think that he can port TV OUT to this rom
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Here is an apk to fix the phone hangup FC. Sorry for the problems, and please report back any other FC's.

I will also be reuploading the main file on the front page with the fixed camera, and phone, and also attach the android policy jar for anyone who wants the stock android lockscreen with a deodex'ed system.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
That fixed it. Thanks for being so responsive
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Sure thing. Also I updated the version on the main thread with the fixes, so anyone flashing that file shouldn't experience any of the previous errors. Also attached the stock android lockscreen as a flashable zip through CW recovery.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Out of curiosity, I have your theme applied as well. If I flash the stock lockscreen, will there be any conflicts?
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Nope you will just have the stock android lockscreen with the unlock slider and the sound/silence slider.

Keep in mind though that I have also themed the images in the framework for that lockscreen, so you will have the stock NexTheme on there.
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:

[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
No, this isn't happening to me, but when it is plugged into the computer, my phone and notifications are silent - not sure why that would be happening...
[Fascinate Android Development] Irishpride:
Would someone mind PMing me the most updated DI01_Deodex_CW.zip? For some reason when I try to download the mediafire link, it just sits there saying "Your download is starting", but nothing happens.

I would, but dont have the latest one...sorry

EDIT.....will have it to you in 5 min
[Fascinate Android Development] Irishpride:
Awesome, thank you.
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
I feel like my battery dies quicker on deodexed version vs stock. Anyone else? I haven't changed any settings or apps, that's why suspecting the deodex being culprit.
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
all set. :D
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Not a bit. I have been killing this thing all day with 4 CWM flashes and still at 22%. I will say this though - I added the Captivate Keyboard, and when the device rebooted, it went from 51% pre-reboot to 22% post-reboot. Might have to pull the old "delete battery stats" after I give it an overnight charge and see what happens there. I'll report back tomorrow night
[Fascinate Android Development] stanrc:
I noticed the same thing, today my battery was at 50% by 11 am.

I also had issues with Root Explorer, it seemed to hang and took forever to actually respond to anything, and usually tried to FC. I checked the battery usage and CPU was at the top so I don't know if Root explorer was running like crazy in the background killing the battery or what.
[Fascinate Android Development] tats_06:
Hmm, I did add the captivate keyboard too today...so may be if it keeps draining, I will reflash this "ROM" and then just leave the stock...I am not too fond of captivate one. Thanks for the heads up!!! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Sorry to be a pest -

Force Closes in the following apps since most recent application of what you suggested....

ESPN Scorecenter - Force Closes every hour when it auto-updates

Gallery - Force Closes after application of wallpaper from gallery, every time

EDIT: application.voicesearch.com - and that was after a reboot - was not using voicesearch

I know that the scorecenter isnt yours or stock - just trying to see if something in particular would be causing it
[Fascinate Android Development] yankeeboy73:
Funny - I'm not finding it draining, it is STILL on 22% and I have been using it since I wrote the last message....probably threw off the stats...do you know how to delete the stats through CWM after a full charge? Its under advanced menu....used to have to do this after flashing ROMS on the Droid Inc constantly to trick the battery into thinking it was full
[Fascinate Android Development] theformula:
Mediafire isnt working for me either, the download never starts! Can someone please upload elsewhere?
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
I have score center and haven't had fc's.

Just set a wallpaper through gallery no fc.

Opened voice search and searched through it, also no fc.

Someone else confirm of they are getting these particular fc's, thanks.

Everything works great. I've had zero issues so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Can you share the captivate keyboard or where to get it and maybe a screenshot? Also how do we delete the battery stats, it's been awhile since I've done that back when I had a Nexus One.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Well I narrowed my issue with the rebooting. It happens when the phone is plugged into the USB cable and you mount the device. Now what's weird is it doesn't do a full reboot. It only makes the screen go blank for 5-10 seconds and then comes back on but not through the boot screen and then starts displaying everything again. Very weird. Will try to get a logcat if you would like.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Yea that would help track down the culprit of your problem.
