I am on a mac too which is not good for all things android. The only way i have found to enable non market apps is using adb through the terminal app on your mac. You need to follow the instructions from the JI6 hacks thread exactly but there are a few things that are different with a mac from windows. Make sure you install the android sdk to a easy to find location, i would just put it directly on your macintosh hd. Connect your phone with usb debugging on.

then in terminal type cd (change directory) to that locations tools folder. Example: cd /android-sdk-mac_x86/tools

You should get a :tools /your user name$

then to enter the adb shell type ./adb shell

type ./adb devices to make sure your device is connected to computer

then just follow the directions for enabling non market apps exactly! actually just copy paste one line at a time.

MAC is a little different in ADB shell but it doesnt require any drivers or anything.
[Captivate General] puttingg:
Can you point me to the exact location of the instructions? The ODC Zip at the start of this tread was created for PC's and like I said I am on a MAC. I have everything else in place in your e-mail but I need to know exactly what instructions you are referring to JI6 hacks?
[Captivate General] laxwillsch:
this is the thread instructions that I am talking about you can disregard everything except the non market apps section as long as you are already rooted and running the leaked version of froyo (ji6). let me know how it goes
[Captivate General] laxwillsch:
and one other thing I was thinking about that would really solve all your problems, although you may become addicted as I have lol, would be finding a friend or something with a pc and flashing one of the cognition roms. these roms are already rooted, non market apps enabled, and fast. and you can flash them using a program called odin and it its very easy like a one click program. you can google odin and get more info on it. also if you ever wanna chat in real time with folks that really help with all this go to the cognition thread, just search on xda, then click "come chat with us". these guys are amazing at what they do.
[Captivate General] puttingg:
Can you please link this cognition thread? I apologize for being such a nube but being 46 years old will do that to you. I would love to live chat with someone that could help me. I have my phone mounted, rooted and I know it is just a simple fix from here......

Wow this was so easy and it worked flawlessly! I never could figure out the other ones, or they just didn't work. This was way easier than I thought it would be, thank you so much!!
[Captivate General] Bruce Inman:
Thanks OP, worked flawlessly!
[Captivate General] cwalker29:
I got a question for anybody that would help me out.. i have a vibrant rooted and with 2.2 on it.. so i'm good, i also been flashing roms since the g1 came out so i'm not a noob but my friend have the captivate and he knows i been messing with android for a while now. he would love for me to unlock his phone for him so he can start putting the non market apps on his phone. he's already has his phone rooted. so i did some searching and found this program the only thing is i dont see is any step by step on doing this. i downloaded the file and now i'am fin2 put net.4.0 on my computer. after that do I turn debugging on and exact the file? i guess that by how the file look. then do i plug in the usb cord but mount it and then run this program file???? thanks for any help

sorry for giving my whole life story lol
[Captivate General] rafter109:
OCD will prompt you to do this but go ahead and turn on usb debugging and also check stay awake. Run OCD and click De-Cripple.
[Captivate General] cwalker29:
thanks bro
[Captivate General] laxwillsch:
Ok so you are defintley on your way. when you type su you need to look on your phone and allow super user (the application that you got when you rooted) . Then after that type all those commands one at a time. I don't know what the exact link is for cognition but just search on the xda search box. Its at the top right of the page. Also the cognition thread is in the captivate development section. One you get to the cognition thread there will be a come chat with us link click that then follow the instructions.
[Captivate General] BlackTai:
I love having OCD! Lol.

This worked great for me! Thanks a lot for creating it.
[Captivate General] pkelly878:
it goes through all the steps as if it worked then says disconnect at any time, the phone reboots.. still not de-crippled cant install any non-market apps.. I have a Captivate running 2.1 rooted with lagfix
[Captivate General] javieromarg:
the best and easiest

hey man THANK YOU very much your app is the best wana get this a long time ago and now i get in 25 sec jajaja sweeett keep up that good work

BYE bye ATT restriction, hello applanet
[Captivate General] n311.dunkle:
I may be asking a stupid question but is .net 4.0 something I need to have installed on my phone... Or can I just download ocd straight to my phone from this forum? Home internet is currently down.
[Captivate General] samven582:
Thanks it work :)
[Captivate General] Bruce Inman:
This app runs from your PC, .net 4.0 installs to your PC.
[Captivate General] n311.dunkle:
That's what I figured. I have the framework on my PC already but don't currently have home internet. Was hoping there was a way to use my phone data. Thanks for the heads up.
[Captivate General] fsx100:
Its PERFECT now, OP.

De-Crippled my Captivate, no issues.
[Captivate General] n311.dunkle:
Got it on there using Kies tethering (no longer available to me as of recent) And now I have questions. If I recripple my phone, does it leave behind any trace that AT&T can pick up on to screw me out of a warranty?

Awesome hack and very simple btw.
[Captivate General] rafter109:
While I cannot guarantee that there will be absolutely no trace, OCD makes 1 simple database entry change. and the re-cripple option resets the database entry to factory default. Assuming you are a US citizen, you do have legal protections in this regard. Magnussen-Moss Warranty Act puts the burden of proof on the manufacturer to prove that changes you have made have compromised the integrity of the product in question. This Act is why you can, for example, upgrade ram in your computer without voiding the warranty on the whole computer. The manufacturer is still responsible for all of the original equipment unless they can prove definitively that in the process of doing the upgrade that you have damaged the computer. Same would apply here.

Now, does this mean that ATT won't try to void your warranty? I really can't answer for that. But I can say this, the law is on your side, don't be afraid to use it.

BTW, while OCD itself is not

yet

open source, all external dependencies such as ADB and SQLite, are FOSS. OCD does not contain any copyrighted code, nor is any copyrighted code placed on your device by using it.
[Captivate General] n311.dunkle:
Awesome info.

Worked like a charm after having issues with Titanium Backup. Anyone still looking to do this, it worked Great on my Captivate 2.1
[Captivate General] att1cus:
Thanks! I was having problems doing this manually. This worked great.

(Trying to use adb and all was a good learning experience, though.)
[Captivate General] Deadclown:
This is the most awesome! I finally can do what I please. Worked great on my 2.1 rooted captivate. Blasted AT&T blocking mikandi
[Captivate General] jam287:
This program worked great, thanks.
[Captivate General] mabovalu:
Worked perfect for me, allowed me to install the OCLF via Astro. Thank you very much.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Worked like a charm! Thanks.;)
[Captivate General] seeker9:
Sweet!

Worked perfectly.
[Captivate General] elias.alberto:
This almost answers what I'm about to ask, but not exactly.

I got my cappy on the us then brought it back to my country, so I'll never use warranty. What worries me are the updates. I'm willing to get the 2.2 update (and others) when (if ever) they're released by AT&T. After de-crippling my phone, am I still able to receive the updates? Do I need to re-cripple it in order to get the updates?
[Captivate General] rafter109:
This is something that I have not had the ability to test with the exception of one minor OTA update. Considering that I am using AT&T there has been no major OTA or Kies version changes for me to test this with. In theory, having your phone de-crippled should not have any effect on updating because the de-crippling process is only flipping one bit within an android settings database file. I have done Odin based updates before with my phone de-crippled with no ill effect, but Odin is also designed to completely overwrite the phones OS and Settings files. You are more than welcome to try it and share your experiences but remember that OCD comes with NO WARRANTY so do this at your own risk. Otherwise, the re-cripple process is just as easy as the de-cripple process if you want to play it safe.
[Captivate General] rafter109:
For those who may be interested, I am currently developing a version of OCD for the Motorola Flipside. Please donate
[Captivate General] pyromorphous:
yeah downloaded the program and im still unable to install apps from applanet
[Captivate General] wahooman63:
WOW

This is much easier than trying to use SDK....thanks OP
[Captivate General] gephross100:
doesnt work on 2.2
[Captivate General] iceman198:
Just flashed back to stock and tried this...worked mint! thanks!
[Captivate General] kingo11:
Excellent; thank you! Works great on 2.1 JH7:cool:
[Captivate General] jman_131:
2.2 stock, rooted

This works on 2.2 stock, rooted, captivate. (FROYO.UCKB1) Well, it allowed me to install swype and gave me no error in Titanium Backup.

Thanks. :)
[Captivate General] laughingT:
worked for me on froyo 2.2,

Thanks!

Hi i just flashed new official rom: RUU_Leo_S_HTC_WWE_3.14.405.2_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship

released on 11 oct 2010 by htc. There is no longer screen setting in the options menu?

I have located in the registry under GUI where to place the entries 1 folder called Font smothing and one called clear type but what entries do i need to make to enable them both?

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnifex:
100. Enable Align Screen Calibration in Settings

Certain US roms or custom roms do not have the screen calibration option showing in All Settings, System, Screen. This allows you to tap on crosshairs to calibrate the screen. To enable it just use the registry tweak below:

HKLM\ControlPanel\Pen and change from 1 to 0.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anttaz:
Yes But even then font smothing is not visible, that was only availiable through the quick preferences-screen not in all settings screen in previous roms

just dont want to have flash back to an old rom then back just for these settings after spending most of a day re-installing programs back on and changing settings to find these two missing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnifex:
where exactly was the font smoothing setting? i don't think i've ever seen anything labeled like that. just cleartype which says "smoothes the edges of screen fonts"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
reg for cleartype is....

create the registry branch

hklm/system/GDI/CLEARTYPE

it doesn't need any keys or values, the branch existing is enough to turn on cleartype
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anttaz:
hklm/system/GDI/CLEARTYPE already exists yet is not activated so how do you enable it? what entries need to be made in this folder?

font smoothing setting is also under hklm/system/GDI/ the same again this entry exists what entries need to be made in this folder?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
in cleartype settings is only offonrotation

some apps require cleartype turning on within them. resco explorer for instance. scan your registry for "cleartype" there are a few hits.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anttaz:
Update half way there

Managed to get cleartype working in all progs and enabled thanks to another forum,

Just now need help to get font smothing working
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Urvansh:
how you did it?

How you managed to enable clear type in new rom. Pls help i cannot.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
nothing else goes in that folder, the folder itself is all that is required to tell winmo to use cleartype. (At least thats how its supposed to work, thats how it works on non 3.14 roms)
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
I used to be able to open 8 tabs of mixed web pages (blogs, news, Facebook, etc) and could queue them all up, read them one by one, and close out & switch to the next tab when I'm finished with one.

I used to be able to do this without any slow downs or reloading of each page when I switch to it. In addition, my phone would not become bogged down.

NOW when I do this, I have to wait for the page to reload when I switch to it. This only happens when I have over 2 or 3 tabs going at once and even then, only when the webpages are relatively content-heavy.

Ok, ready for the b*tching? This is AWFULLY PAINFUL when I've queued these pages up right before entering a no-service area like a tunnel or the subway. My ancient G1 used to behave this way but I always thought that was because it had half the RAM of this phone, so it did that to free up memory for other running processes/headroom.

This is by far the biggest disappointment of the JI6 update and I'm just wondering if anyone else has noticed this or can suggest a fix.

Note, my phone is bone stock and one of the reasons I loved it so much was the browser performance - now, the browser performs horribly.
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
Want to keep this question alive.

Anyone?
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
Have you tried using a different browser, like Dolphin or Opera Mini?
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
I've tried other browsers in the past, but was always happiest with the stock browser.

Regardless, I want to know what happened to the memory management after the update. It would never attempt to reload pages if I had multiple tabs going but now it does.
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
What I meant was, have you tested to see if other browsers are behaving the same way as the stock browser after you updated to JI6?
[Vibrant General] ohmyggg:
No, I haven't, but I dont specifically know how they performed before the update with regards to multiple tabs and page reloading, so it wouldn't tell me much about what the update did.
[Vibrant General] opiomorph:
Maybe not, but if they behave better than the stock browser does now that you've updated, that's what counts, right?
[Vibrant General] darksonic:
Well, I just opened up 8 tabs of different websites and was able to switch between them with no problem at all. Nothing had to reload for me. On stock browser with JI6.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
Try clearing cache?
[Vibrant General] alfdroid:
I have tried clearing the browser cache, tried other browsers, kill the native task manager app, tried stock froyo, Bionix V, Ginger Clone and Axura, and the browser always behaves the same way. If you switch to another app, when you come back to the browser, it starts to reload all pages (very annoying). It feels like I'm back using the mytouch 3g.

Back when the Vibrant (and the galaxy family) first came out, this didn't happened. 8 tabs (I could live with 4) that were always there waiting in the same line where you left off.

Any ideas :confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] asctony:
I have noticed that I am getting a lot of DiskCacheIndex.Tmp files on my SD Card when I use Android which is almost all the time instead of WM. I delete these files manually. I did a search on this and really found no answers other than they are temp files. So looking for something definitive.

1. What are these files?

2. Any apk to delete them automatically?

Thanks!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raysacr:
I would like to know as well
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] JanssoN:
GScript Light

Try to write a Gscript. Download this app in the market. Save the script. Now you can run it every time without deleting those files manually.

There should be enough examples for doin that on google :)

In Gscript write a scrip named "Delete DiskCacheIndex" (or whatever)

cd /mnt/sdcard

MINE SUCKS

I have been using the (new gps fix) and here are its issues;

When on the freeway and driving around town at twenty five miles per hour my position is one block behind my location. the navagation tells me to turn when I am way past the street I was suppose to turn on.:eek:

The GPS still loses signal constantly

The accuracy on the Google map is way off in comparison to what the GPS program says the accuracy claims. It claims 30 to 40 feet and its 300 to 500 feet on the map. You better not be walking next to a cliff in the dark:rolleyes:

and yeah I rebooted the phone, reinstalled Google Maps, and cleared the cach, and nothing has changed

Why did I wait for the update :(

I no longer trust Samsung.

The phone lag is getting worse every day and I have lost the ability to go to the market unless I reboot.

The battery life sucks as well, I cant make it through a day with out recharging.

Hey but the hardware is great if it works:p

Unfortunately I bought this phone for the supposed functionality and this includes the GPS.

Has anybody done any testing and what are your results or issues?
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
Did you miss the other threadS on this?

Delete GPS data

Wipe data, reinstall from fresh flash of JFD

Disable Use Wireless Networks.
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
Mine sucks too. Position in Maps jumps all over the place, it's usually at the far end of the error margin, and is relatively slow getting a fix (compared to a Nexus One)

Accuracy has never been consistent (usually above 10m)

The compass is really bad too.

There were improvements with JI6, faster lock, more satellites, fixed gmt and local time, smoother compass, but still far from reliable.
[Vibrant General] elkavayo:
Sorry heygirl, your optimism is appreciated but that solution is no more than wishful thinking.

Drive a 1000 miles and your gps is still usrless. Wait a few days, abd your gps is useless.
[Vibrant General] blanked:
How do you delete GPS data?
[Vibrant General] pb3000:
mine is working awesome i did it last night and is working way better than before, in some places where i used to have 0 or 1 bar i now have 3 bars, the gps working without problems.
[Vibrant General] blink55184:
I have noticed bugginess still.

Twice now-- When turning on GPS, opening Maps, clicking the FIND MY LOCATION button.. it sits for a moment.. and then reboots my phone. brilliant, right?

Other than that, it is a bit more usable.. still not reliable like my G1 was.

When sitting still in MAPS, my blue arrow spins, jumps a millimeter, spins back... doesnt know which direction I am moving/facing.

Compass is still absolute trash.
[Vibrant General] mobilebone:
I cannot complain about the GPS anymore. I flashed the ROM myself, formatted and repartitioned before...just to make sure. Quick GPS locks on plenty of satellites. It does seem that it works best in standalone mode on my phone.
[Vibrant General] qtilt112:
My gps accuracy sucks (usually ~30m), but it does lock pretty quick. Subpar while driving, had me jumping around at stop lights and even lost the signal entirely for a few mins. In my opinion, not yet worthy of the title "gps." i'm on stock ji6.
[Vibrant General] Ilmoran:
My GPS seems pretty good, although it was good before the update since I used the leaked GPS fix.

The only thing I've noticed since I odin'd the official JI6 is that my battery seems to drain a bit faster than before, but I might be using it a little more than before as well, so it's hard to tell.
[Vibrant General] kmandel:
My only complaint is that when I turn on the navigation app it takes several minutes before the gps locks. Once that happens it seems fine.

The same is true of my Garmin standalone gps, so maybe I'm expecting too much.
[Vibrant General] Jdom58:
Hey in case anyone is interested, GPS is working great on the Bionix 1.8 ROMS. I get a constant viewed 11 and locked 9-10 within 3-4 seconds and the tracking is very accurate.

Thought I would share if you are rooted and want to try it out, oh and did I mention it's a great ROM :-)
[Vibrant General] zoid_99:
I'm using Bionix 1.8 and it will take minutes sometimes to lock and then for no apparent reason the lock will drop. Mytracks still has me driving through buildings as well. It's better but not fixed (at least on my vibrant).
[Vibrant General] reaton33:
mine works flawlessly. All I've done is root with Ryans OCLF and never removed any bloatware. I do have the recent JI6 update.
[Vibrant General] samyvibrantuser:
Working great after the update..
[Vibrant General] henreeg:
I don't have any of those issues.

I just tried looking for my location... and it's very accurate.

Before the update, it was off by a block, and constantly moving around.

Never put in a custom ROM or kernel.

I just MOD a few things.
