[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jzero88:
So I have been able to create an update.zip, signed and installed it. Out of a handful of apps that were in the /system/app folder, only two were installed, one being an actually app, and another being the launcher.apk that removes touchwiz home with the original android one. For some reason the other do not install.

Is there something I have to do like sign these .apks as well before adding them to the update.zip?

Also, I would like to combine a few update.zips such as the root update.zip, battery bar segmented update.zip, etc. How would you do this? Can you combine different update-scripts into one?

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisfuss:
Hi,

yes sure! I use it since about 3 Month without any problems! Anyway if you use a 3g phone unicom is the best provider!

Set the APN to "3gnet" - I have HSDPA mostly all around Shanghai.

To access paid apps on the market install "Paid Apps Enabler" but needs root

Ok I'm sure this has been covered before but some of the stickies have been down & I didn't find anything with a search.

Can I change images in a game or app apk just by switching out the png or jpg files with winrar and resigning or is there more to it? Like maybe a toc or something I have to change? (Android OS)

TIA for any answers.

I have the same problem. My phone was hardware locked and I was wondering if yours was? I have tried this method several times with no luck. Should I just keep trying it over and over? Has anyone else had a hard time getting into the download mode but finally got it to work? does it matter if the sim or sd card is in or not?
[Vibrant General] xalucardx:
Its not "hardware lock" is just a bug in the os , its been fixed in ji6 , you can try using adb "adb reboot download" on you pc
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
is the search button broken??? Everyone who thinks they are "hardware locked" do you not search or read? There is a fix for this! Not only does JI6 fix this, there is a thread with just the SBL file that also takes care of it.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
I did search and search I even started one count them one thread on this because I had not seen a thread with the same issue... look at ppls postings before you want to flame them I have not been one of those guys that you get ticked off about most of my replies were to say thank you for the hard work ppl put in here. Or to help other ppl out. I have tried a lot to get out of this and I was wondering if anyone ran across a phone that just wouldn,t come out of it. Sorry to rant on this but if it really bothers you that much why do you go into the threads to read them and get yourself all up tight about it?
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
To be fair, JI6 did not fix this for me, but the standalone fix did work.
[Vibrant General] nomadrider123:
Sorry to bother you but adb doesn't see my phone.. I read in a thread about the buttons not working to get into the download mode. Some ppl swore it was a hardware issue well others swore it was a software issue. It was like taste great less filling debate lol. I found one other person with the exact same problem and he tried everything too but **** out of luck. I now own a bricked phone.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] sotodefonk:
Hello, I use Nitrogen as my player, and all my Music folder have embedded cover arts in all files, and also each folder has a folder.jpg file.

Everything is okey, until for some reason my device creates a new cover art file named "~hTC_(Name of album).jpg with ultracompression and a resolution of 256x256. How can I make my device to stop doing that? Nitrogen tends to show that cover art instead of the embedded one, or the folder.jpg. :mad:
[Captivate Themes and Apps] smoeki:
hi I hope this is the right place for this but I updated my rom to congnitions 2.2 froyo beta 5.5 and now I cant log into my storm 8 accounts it keep telling me that my user id and password are incorrect. I emailed storm 8 and they told me they are aware of the problem and are working on it. I tried that a week ago but they have not given me a response or an answer. So i thought maybe someone here would know more info or even better know how to fix it. I'm soooooo addicted to imobsters I think i need to go to rehab. lol thanks to anyone with any info.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jhernand1102:
I think it has to do with the device ID of the Froyo ROM...Whoever flashes it ends up with the same device ID...DG said there is nothing he can do about it till the Final version is released from Samsung...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] j101399j:
I have been working with the higherup techs over there and the issue will not be fixed until the official froyo is released, mainly becasue the issue is not with Storm8 but with our phones. The leaked version of froyo and all of the roms since have the same device ID (which is why your username and passwords do not work); this usually happens with custom roms.

Since Storm8's apps use your device ID to log in and since we all have the same ID, it basically crashes. So unles you flash back to JH7 and somehow extravt your deice ID and import it to Froyo, we are stuck until the official update.

However I am working on doing just that, if it works, I'll post how.

[edit]

Ok I found the solution and it works (same time the other guy in the cog thread did). You have to change you device ID.

WARNING!!! I do not know what other isues this may cause like with market or other apps; so try this at your own risk. If a Dev with more experence with this sees an issue, please post and I'll take this info down. Doing the following requires that your phone is rooted and you have SQlite3 installed.

Go back to JH7 as the device id works there (verify by loading one of the storm 8 apps)

You have to go back to get the correct DeviceID

install this app from Market: http://bubiloop.com/android-tools-device-id

Use DeviceID to get your correct device id, this is the one that works

Reinstall or restore back to froyo

Install DeviceID on Froyo and verify that your ID is now different/wrong

Backup your /dbdata/databases /com.android.providers.settings /settings.db file

Now to change your device id you need to type the following in either adb or connectbot

(note when using SQLite, enter “.help” for instructions and SQL statements always end with a “;”)

su

cd /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings

sqlite3 settings.db

sqlite> insert into secure (’name’, ‘value’ ) values (’android_id’,'what-ever-your-device-id-was-before’);

sqlite> .exit

Reboot

You can verify it changed by running DeviceID again, or just firing up one of the games.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Stooorm:
Hi

my device_id from 2.1 and 2.2 are the same Oo

but i cannot log into my storm8 account.

whats wrong?

only the android_id changed. can i insert the id from 2.1 ?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] j101399j:
It is not Device_ID that is the issue, it is Android_ID. Download Android ID Changer from market andf just change some of the numbers and letters (only use a-f). Or flash back to a 2.1 rom, use Android ID Changer from market to backup your correct ID and then go back and restore it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Mechpilot:
Your ID should contain both numbers and letters android ID changer is what I use.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bellis:

[G2 and Desire Z General] cliffsiv:
I picked up a G2 the other day, and I love it. But coming from a Nexus, the trackpad is bothering me. It just doesn't seem all that responsive. Sometimes it won't do anything. Am I using it...incorrectly? Is that possible? On the T-Mobile website it even says

"Trackpad for Navigation

Your trackpad gives you extremely responsive navigation."

But if you check out this video I made, it just doesn't work well for me.

(cant' post links yet)

youtube.com/watch?v=lR_raPv1Iu0

It's not just the site I was on, it does it in the launcher and everywhere else. Am I going too fast? I tried my girlfriends finger and hers did pretty much the same thing. I even went and installed "Trackball monitor" and when I "scroll" down sometimes the number doesn't change until my finger reaches the very bottom.

Is this normal or should I try and get a new one?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Azrael3123:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzero88:
So as I am sure everyone else knows, the JI6 sucks. The lockscreen needs to be pushed all the way out of view just to unlock the screen and a few other things such as adding theme update.zips. The only good thing is the GPS files, those do work, at least better.

Is there an update.zip file out there for these, or somewhere where I can get these to try to make one. Help will be appreciated, thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chalup:
I'd recommend just using bionix 1.7 with the stock kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrharvey:
I might be the only one here that doesnt like Bionix. I honestly like the stock ROM better. To the OP: JI6 GPS files dont seem to work any better than JI2 so it may just be better to use the JI2 update.zip floating around.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MisterKrispy:
I agree, Oddly enough I was getting great GPS locks with stock JFD now I can't lock anything with JI6. Anyone know if it's safe to downgrade back to JFD through ODIN?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzero88:
Yes I agree. Bionix is pretty sweet, but it had a few bugs and was a bit laggy. I prefer the stock rom myself. I guess I will give JI2 a shot, though I still think JI6 gps runs great.

I personally have not tried to flash this. And whenever I do flash a modem I still use the 512 PIT as well. If you need that file let me know. This file is zipped so unzip it before anyone flashes it. Flash at your own risk, BLAH BLAH BLAH.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzero88:
Great, thanks! I won't be able too do much wit:oh it tonight. Got a huge accounting exam to study for by tomorrow. I will crack it open after that. The JI2 gps files actually work pretty good , so hopefully I can get this all in afl flashable zip. Then try creating custom roms :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebone:
You are not the only one. Since 1.4 which worked great, too many requests found it's way into the newer builds. It also seems that the stock builds act differently from phone to phone. JI5 and JI6 worked best for me. 9 sats out of 11 within a few seconds. Nothing beats that :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
I don't really like Bionix either. There's too much going on with that ROM. I was on JFD Deodexed for a while, and now I'm on JI6 waiting for a Deodexed version of it. There's just something about how simple the stock builds are.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jzero88:
After using JI2 GPS files all day long, I would have to say that JI6 was better. JI2 does work, but after a few minutes. JI6 was much faster.

[G2 and Desire Z General] nighthawk626:
im sure we've all had complaints about loose hinges and how strong and stable this phone is. coming from a g1 and being a mechanic, i put my phone through some serious strains including: full multiple water submerging, falling from third floor, banging aginst walls and through all this i had no cracked screens, broken malfunctioning or missing buttons. note: i didnt do any of these on purpose.

Now with the g2 that i bought from radio shack, i managed to shake the hinge ridiculously and it didnt fall apart and WW3 didnt ensue, considering how everyone is having problems with this phone, you have two options

1: return the phone and get another type of phone

2: stick with the phone, buy a body glove and screen protector and wait for root :)

i cant really comment about software, signal, reboots, and other problems like that because i havent experienced any of this. but as far as how strong the phone is, my personal experience is pretty damn good

p.s. the hinge is slightly overrated considering it doesnt just slide out instead it slides up and then out. my point being if it just slid out then it would warrant more of a need to worry. but this is my personal opinion and expirience
[G2 and Desire Z General] hammondnav:
I've been using my G2 for about five or so days, and I haven't had any reboots, freezes, slow-downs, or anything along those lines.

The Z-hinge on mine seems OK. It does open when I hold the phone facing down, but that's really not how I plan on using my G2. It doesn't open/close during any sort of "normal" use, and that works for me. I can see how it would be an issue for some, but it simply isn't for me.

I also don't care about the internal memory, as that wasn't why I got the phone. It wasn't the selling point for me, and I don't like storing things on my phone's internal memory. The 8GB micro SC is plenty enough for most realistic scenarios, and certainly more than enough for me.

To those who are debating whether or not they want this phone: do yourself a favor and go to a local T-Mobile retail store and check it out for yourself. Don't settle on other peoples' opinion. I think that you'll conclude that the pros far outweigh the cons.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tenbeau:
I am on my second G2 with the third on the way due to multiple issues. These issues include loose hinges(more about that in a minute) very poor reception to no reception in exact same areas where My Vibrant and Nexus One get good reception,and the black screen random shutting down issues as well as dropping calls. The loose hinge issue was not a big factor for me until I purchased the gel skin and hard case from T Mobile. With these cases on the phone it just slides open as you pick it up or handle it at all. With all that being said I do like the phone and hate to give up on it. I am hoping the current OTA will address the reception and dropping calls issues. IMO this is an excellent phone that could and hopefully will be a Super phone. My biggest concern is that as each day goes by more black screen issues etc come up, Mine just happened today after 4 days of use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
I don't mean to come off as a G2 fanboy, but it sounds to me more like you're doing something to cause the black screens, not the phone.

I haven't heard of anyone having "black screen random shutting down" issues and I've never experienced anything like it myself.

What apps are you using? It's possible you're using an unstable application that's crashing the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] schwiz:
I can confirm having this same issue, not using any out of the normal software or even any of the temp root stuff. Also apps like twitter and webbrowser will forceclose over and over again until I reboot the phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] n3rdftw:
this is a real problem

happens to me once a day or so with completely stock g2 and just a few apps from the market

wow its really messed up that you guys are having this problem because this phone is really damn great. quick question though. where did u guys buy yours?

i got mine from radio shack and no problem for me.

my thoughts are a possibility of a bad batch, just like how some hinges are loose and some arent.

new contract

sellers:

1: t-mobile store $264 ($50 mail in rebate bull crap)

2: t-mobile shipment (same as above)

3:radio shack ($149.99 no more no less)

4: amazon online ($199)

5: wirefly ($99)
