A senior moderator on XDA should merge "HTC Vision"/ "HTC Desire Z" and "Tmobile G2" into 1 category. What makes it more confusing is that originally the G2 is referred to the HTC hero....:rolleyes: lol

You're not clear if you mean APN settings or the locked/unlocked status of your handset. So it's hard to point you in the right direction.

Remember, the search box is your friend.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arshiv:
Is it possible to relock network?

I meant locked/unlocked network status of i9000m for warranty purpose. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcarr622:
Unlocking it really shouldn't void your warranty. I think Bell will even give you a code if you're an active subscriber and you ask (so that you can use it overseas if you want). Best bet would be to ask a Bell customer, I have a Bell Vibrant but I use it in the states on AT&T.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renster721:
Is it possible to port the widgets that come with motoblur?

The contact widgets are pretty handy. I assume that the widgets are tied to the launcher (like our TWiz widgets), so I imagine the whole launcher would have to be ported. If that is the case, I've attached the launcher apk for anyone capable of determining these things.

If at all possible to port widgets without the Droid X launcher, that would be even better.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
This is one of the most annoying launchers on android. Scrolling in between home screens disables the app tray button, and you either have to swipe up on the screen or wait a few seconds to open the app tray. The widgets on the other hand are okay. The droid X's UI was poorly designed and makes the phone feel bigger and clunkier than it really is.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingkurry:
Agreed. The Blur UI also feels sluggish and clunky. It is probably the most hated custom andorid launcher out there.

OP. Unless your willing to pay a dev 100 bucks in advance, nobody is going to do this for u lol.

Touch Wiz is infinitely better. I would actually say TW is better than stock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speed145a:
TW better than stock? Blasphemy!

:D

I agree on all counts
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heygrl:
TouchWiz is one of the best launchers. Launcher Pro is a close second. ADW/LP both don't have the same smoothness with all of the graphics at the highest level like TW does. They look awful compared to TW on default settings and choppy with it looking the same. I don't think you can get LP to display the same level of quality as ADW or TW.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paging Dr B:
Agreed. I didn't care for the TW launcher in all of the demos i saw of the vibrant, but it really grew on my once i actually used it. It's fast, looks nice, and has smooth animations. Sorry OP if I sounded upset in my first response. I also have the droid X (for work) and think it's one of the biggest dissapointments out there. Moto nailed the build quality and screen size, but they stopped there. Terrible contrast, colors, poor UI, feels slow, 2D stutters, etc. It upset me to see the droidX voted more desirable than the vibrant on gizmodo today. People are morons. Yet it benches higher than the Vibrant because it has faster write speeds. Lol.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanmmj:
Moved to the Q&A sub-forum.

I understand that it was a development request, but we still want to keep the development sub-forum for threads which actually have development in them. If this gets anywhere, I will move it back.

As far as the launcher itself... I don't like it, either. :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0080:
I haven't tried adw on this phone....mainly because I don't care about themes. But I use launcherpro plus mostly instead of touchwiz. There are a few things I like better about tw but lpp's dock is so much cooler. I would never consider motoblur on this phone but that's just me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] renster721:
ha, well let me rephrase my request since everyone seems to hate the blur launcher.

I primarily want the droid x/motoblur widgets, but I assume they are attached to the launcher, so I requested the whole launcher to be ported.

If it is possible to port the widgets without the launcher, then that would be better. OP edited.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivanmmj:
I wonder if the launcher requires the moto framework. If so, then it would require a whole ROM port, unfortunately. Let's hope not.

Hi

Is it possible to connect the phone, while its in android.. to debug my programs using eclipse?.

When i connect the phone its like.. absolutely no reaction from either computer or device (X1 running this: http://bit.ly/df8zXB)

I hope i made my self clear.

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] XabdullahX:
Solution found :)!

1- connect your phone to your computer (IN WM!)

2- Start Haret.exe

3- Wait for Android to fully bootup (you will notice that it has detected that the phone is connected (debugging and usb icon has showed up))

4- You will now see in eclipse that device "000000000" is connected. but its offline

5- to resolve that, Simply unplug the usb, and plug it in again :)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cyber_Bruno:
So as of Oct 1st I've been the proud owner of a Captivate. This is upgrading from an Ericsson feature phone, which while I hacked, the scene here is very different. Moreover, the organization and level of detail I tend to find things is a little lacking (yes, I've used the search feature). I understand that the Android platform is spreading rapidly, the Captivate especially, so I will say I don't fault XDA or anything. I'm just trying to educate myself (and hopefully be able to help the community later) via a massive post on breaking myself into the Captivate hacking circle.

Most of the below are questions that fall under some kind of similar topic.

What do the I8000/I9000 terms pertain to? Which phones or firmware versions are which Ix000? How can I check for myself in the future? (I'm under the impression that the Captivate falls under I9000, but still I'd like more firm determination.)

How many ROMs can be active on a phone at once? (Can a ROM be just some UI changes, on top of another that changes some backend file organization or, say, another UI alteration for a different section of the phone?)

ROM Manager + Clockwork Mod seems to be the defacto tool for flashing phone ROMs and creating backups with the Captivate. But I've also seen people suggest using Titanium Backup often for creating backups if the user wants to have a stock state of their phone to revert to in order to go back to a clean slate. (Only real difference that is apparent is TB seems to use the word "image" and not "backup", but if that's the case then what does a "backup" count as out of ROM Manger?) And what of Odin? Or Nandroid? I get there are different methodologies to do the same thing, but it’d be nice to lay out the details, uses, pros, cons, and comparisons between all these backup utilities.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Shoot, thought I was on the Q&A page. Feel free to move. Apologies.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
While you are in development look at the captivate bible, it links to the important threads, I think there is a wiki up somewhere too that answers the important questions.

Titanium backup backs up apps and data but I don't know if its in the form of an image, certainly not a full disk image.

Nandroid is a feature of rom manager/clockwork recovery, I believe that is an image but I haven't actually used a backup from it yet so I don't know if it is or isn't.

Odin is a tool for flashing samsung firmwares, 3rd party roms can use odin and a hybrid can be made my mixing one rom with another kernel or modem.bin.

Most recent 3rd party roms use a .zip file run in clockwork recovery which can be launcher from rom manager.

Some mods and I think a few roms are run as an update.zip in the stock recovery screen which you get to via a button combo on boot up. Hold both volumes for 2 sec then press power and continue holding all 3 buttons till the att screen pops up.

Since you are new to android, I'd look at designgears work, or eugene. High quality stuff. Cognition 2.2 is based on leaked froyo and is probably the best gps and fastest, linpack shows the best numbers with froyo(2.2). But for 3d gaming the overclock (only on eclair (2.1)) will give better frame rates from a higher gpu clock. Not that the humming bird needs better 3d performance. It already leads the field in that area, most benchmark are ineffective because the gpu is capped at 56fps and it will hit that cap through most tests.

Kernels for overclock/undervolt and/or voodoo are loaded into condition 2.1.x and can be added to other eclair roms with ease.

eugenes roms are very thought out but take a while to get right on the captivate since he has a vibrant and there are differences.

I-9000 is the international galaxy s and is the most feature rich version that is gsm, many files roms ect can run on the captivate with some bugs, I-9000 kernels are used to enable hsupa, but break the bluetooth.

Lag fix is a ext2 or ext4 partition to boost file system speeds, ask a dev about how that works, I have no idea. Voodoo lag fix, I think is a full file system replacement and considered superior. its not available in froyo, we have no source code for froyo to build the kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patrick_spd4u:
It is the Samsung's code for their devices. For example :

i900 --> Samsung Omnia

i8000 --> Samsung Omnia II

i9000 --> Samsung Galaxy S (International)

B7610 --> Samsung OmniaPRO (the touchscreen slider)

C6625 --> Samsung Valencia

And finally, i897 --> AT&T Samsung Captivate

No, only one ROM can be used in the device at the same time. It is recommended to flash stock ROM first before flashing non-stock ROM, to avoid conflict between ROMs. Every non-stock ROMs is made to replace stock ROM, not another non-stock ROMs.

ROM Manager & Clockwork Mod --> Same utility, get from the market. Flash stock ROM first. You don't need PC to flash with ROM Manager/Clockwork Mod

Odin --> Conventional way that needs PC to flash the ROM. Flash stock ROM first. Usually ROMs that need Odin will be available as .exe file, and the .exe file contains Odin with the ROM, so, you don't need to download Odin separately

Titanium Backup --> A backup app, get from the market. It will generate an .APK file that contains the app with their data (for example : saved games) as an .APK file. After flash the new ROM, just reinstall the generated .APK file. It can backup app (with data), WiFi settings, contacts & calendar (better use your Google account), SMS/MMS (better use separate SMS/MMS backup app from the market), Call History, etc

Nandroid --> I don't know, never used before.

You're welcome
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] max_warheads:
Nandroid is a function of RM/CWM wherein it take a full snapshot of the current rom setup: system, application data, etc. (no, it does not copy the entire internal SD card.)

And if it isnt please let me know how i can fix it!!! Please need quick response!! I CANNOT ACCESS MY PHONE AT ALL ITS JUST IN BOOTLOADER!
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Flash a stock ROM first, then re-flash the SPL. You, sir, got lucky. If that thing had stopped while it was actually flashing, you'd have a brick.

[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
it would help everyone help you if you would update your info with cellphone provider, country, etc.

I'm guessing tmobile usa right???

Ok, go here for a stock ROM (you might have to register):

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/1664046-post1.html

In that post, download the 2.13 stockrom.

Connect your phone via usb to your computer while in bootloader (should say usb at the bottom). Your phone cannot connect via active sync because you probably don't have a ROM on it at the moment.

Unzip and run the Rom Update Utility (RUU) and follow the instructions. This will take you back to stock.

After doing this, I suggest your read here:

If you are not tmobile usa hd2, then disregard above and find stock ROM for your carrier.

hey i did the steps u told me and its still the same ****.. but i can go to bootloader.. now do i have to flash it regular?? cause i still cant access my phone.. but i went through the whole process

[HD2 General] rr5678:
you may have corrupted the SPL with that bad flash.
[HD2 General] jash23:
uhm i also did the ruu thing but i dont think it was my spl.. cause my spl that said on the bootloader screen saids 2.10 but you told me to flash it using 2.13 stock rom.... i tried it but it did not fix the problem... my htc is tmobile usa btw... and i tried reflashing it after the stock rom flash and it still doesnt work. it saids error bad spl when i try to reflash it using hardspl... do i need to use a different stock rom? let me know plz.. email me my email is jashrules23@yahoo.com
[HD2 General] jash23:
uhm is there anyway i can fix that corrupt spl and still get my phone to start working again??? please let me know.. cause like i said this is my first time... and like i accidentally disconnected usb when it was in the middle of connceting in hspl... is there a way i can fix it??? cause u said as long as its in bootloader mode i can fix it still...
[HD2 General] nrfitchett4:
I don't know then. When you put it into bootloader and run the RUU what happens? Does it start then error out at a percentage? Not start at all?
[HD2 General] jash23:
no bro it went through the whole ruu process... without active sync though cause again i cant connect to active sync... then once i went through the RUU process it didnt do anything.. my spl still said 2.10 in the bootloader screen.. and i still cant connect to active sync.. thats why i think the hspl part wont work... should i try a different hspl? cause i think this one isnt compatible with mine... and how come my spl on bootloader is still 2.10??? i thought we updated stock rom to 2.13??? but yah it went through the whole RUU process. i even tried doing the RUU PROCESS LIKE 3 MORE TIMES STILL DIDNT WORK...

I'm sure it will work for some but i'm willing to bet this upgrade is a failed experiment for most users.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
i am going to go out on a limb here and say:

IT'S BETA!!!!!!

it has actually worked for LOTS of people that use it. have you bothered to ask to get some help?

do you have a previous rom on or voodoo/oclf lagfix mod?

what do you have done to your phone?

again, this leaked firmware is BETA, and according to the number of posts, there are hundreds, maybe thousands, running it. this isnt a samsung/att official rom, so you are warned that it is BETA/NOT OFFICIAL and you can cause harm to your phone if you screw up the process.

my suggestion is use the one click jf6 to go back to stock and try again....

please dont post FUD like this.
[Captivate General] Dino.:
Are you sure your in download mode or just recovery..

When that was happening to me(the hang at file analysis), i was in recovery mode.
