[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C-4Nati:
Ok, i read the how to for the new kernels, it said its easy and what not. I even pm'ed another person on here as i am still kind of new asking was it safe with my current ROM and all that and i got a yes, now i know its my risk to try i just understand what went wrong. I'm on 2.1 still on the stock ROM and JFK and i downloaded the Vodoo Clockwork recovery version with colorfix zip. I went into clockwork and entered reboot mode, then chose the zip from there and heard a weird voice when the phone turned off saying step one, this may take a few minutes. Then i heard entering step 2, then finally i heard conversion successful. Now when it rebooted it went through the Vibrant and t mobile screen beginnings fine, stayed at the Galaxy S screen for a while then goes to a black screen everytime. I've even rebooted the regular way as i can't get the phone on. Please what happened and how do i fix it?

It sounds like your NAND chip is too big.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bronk93:
I had the exact same thing happen to me when disabling voodoo to do a backup. I ended up flashing JI6 via Odin then re-flashing bionix without the voodoo lagfix.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RPGbig:
Can you elaborate?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cthach11:
Either your NAND chip is the bigger version or you just haven't waited long enough. The first initial boot with voodoo is a long one. How long did you wait for it after the screen went black?

Voodoo Beta 4 currently only works with vibrants with the smaller NAND chip. But if you really want the voodoo lagfix on your bigger NAND-chipped vibrant, there is a way around to installing it. Go here:

Larger NAND Voodoo Fix

Voodoo Beta 5 should address the larger NAND chip issue but as of this post, that is the current solution for voodoo.

EDIT: BETA 5 is supposedly scheduled for release tonight
[Galaxy S I9000 General] vasra:
Most people don't yet know that many Android software leak all sorts of information to the internet with only scant user acknowledgement (basically what you accept when you install the app).

Due to this and the fact that there are already privacy information harvesting apps for Android on the marketplace - a team of security experts have created TaintDroid:

What is TaintDroid?

From the project's web page: "A realtime monitoring service called TaintDroid that precisely analyses how private information is obtained and released by applications "downloaded" to consumer phones."

From: http://appanalysis.org/index.html

How can I install TaintDroid?

As TaintDroid is currently compiled into the kernel, you cannot easily install it, but you have to cook your own kernel. Instructions (for Nexus 1) are available at the project web site: http://appanalysis.org/download.html

How does TaintDroid work?

Here's a video demonstrating how TaintDroid works once it is installed and configured:

http://appanalysis.org/demo/index.html

Why would you want to install this?

There can be many reasons for installint TaintDroid:

- You want to learn about privacy features and play with Android kernel

- As it is currently impossible to differentiate between innocent and sneaky Android apps based only on what access rights they request, you may want to dig in deeper

- You are worried about what apps are doing behind your back and you want to know which apps to uninstall

- You want to help create Android a more secure and privacy-protected platform, instead of the swiss cheese it currently is

What can you do?

As compiling kernels is mostly beyond the reach of mere mortals currently, consider cooking TaintDroid into your kernel, if you are cooking one yourself and offering it available for others to try and use.

Hopefully increased awareness and usage will bring this program eventually into other modders and perhaps even Google's attention and something more easily accessible is offered for the public at large.

BTW, I'm just a user, interested in getting TaintDroid on my own Galaxy S. I'm not affiliated with the research program, but I like what they are doing. This information is purely FYI.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
+1 for the idea
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ettepetje:
+1

Since we cannot expect information gatherer Google to come up with a good privacy protection mechanism soon I think we are forced to take measures ourselves.

I also learned that several of my bought applications are constantly forcing me to enable synchronisation and/or 3G internet. They either randomly uninstall (Asphalt 5), their icons disappear (for example: Mini-squadron) or won't start, with (Schredder Chess) or without a message. Angry Birds Beta2 lite (free game) and Hungry Shark are 2 more examples. So much for an incentive to buy games... :rolleyes:

It would be great if applications used a well-defined mechanism to check their validity on-line, and not have this sneaky, lingering attack from all sides to any privacy or battery consumption aware user. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Antonyjeweet:
I can not cook Kernels, but this is something i want to use.

Not that i am worried, but i dont know what apps are sending when you open them. Thats something i want to know!

I am sure i am not the only one.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] _JKay_:
+1

Yes please... This should be in all android phones... as a security option you could turn on!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ettepetje:
And do some of these applications only send stuff when you open them?

--

From a user perspective it currently is really difficult to judge applications that need to start at boot-up and deal with many facets of your computer (Launchers, tools combining lots of divers features).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Williemenos:
Do you know some ROM where Taindroid is included?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] exadeci:
I've posted in hardcore and laststufo kernel threads to ask if they could add it.

We just need more people wanting it so they think about adding it:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] specialex:
glad you did that :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sunwee:
+1 support the idea. hope some of our hardworking kernel builders will add this in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jumba:
My concern is how much another real time service will affect battery life. For people trying to make the leanest, fastest kernel I'm not sure it's viable.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SpaceCaseDave:
I have been wanting TaintDroid built into android by default since the day it was announced, but I really do not think google cares about this, so please, please ROM cookers out there (Maybe Doc?), lets add this into our galaxy S roms.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
Well, this seems to work only on android 2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] subZYX:
Make it so.

Combined with walldroid (or other firewall) this could put back power into users hands. Would really love to see this inside hardcores kernel. Maybe as an option for the stable releases? ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 General] asdfxda-developers:
idea about spoofidroid application

how about a program to spoof or make the phone send fake:

GPS location,

IMEI,

phone number,

simcard id,

etc... information to applications that ask without permission.

this way you can feed these application with information they want but without breaking your privacy. (both end sides are more than happy) :D

-----

nice option to have:

1) enable/disable auto generate different id every time.

2) allow list / ban list of application to have real or fake id.

3) enable/disable notify for application request.

-----

there are all ready applications that fake your simcard PLMN mobile network codes without the need of kernel rights, but you need to enable disable the flight mode to restore the default code.

===========

good luck to spoofidroid or similar applications. :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zurpher:
I hope there will be developers out there who prioritize privacy/security over speed/battery and storage usage.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jyjung:
I'm the project lead of the TaintDroid system. We are currently working on a few extensions of TaintDroid but unfortunately are short on engineering resources to port TaintDroid onto other systems than Nexus One that we originally developed. We'd greatly appreciate it if XDA developers would take on this effort! Many ongoing projects would hugely benefit from having easy-to-run TaintDroid ROM available for many different devices and upcoming Android systems let alone user benifit.

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 General] behelit:
beta2 lite? i think that was malware, make sure it came from rovio otherwise it's fake and you should delete it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alojo:
It's really scary to see with the lookout app how many apps can access to your imei, telephone number "Read Identity Info", can access your contacts, track your position, and can send out all this data.

Here a HTC Desire user, asking for some privacy.

Best regards!

[GT540 Optimus General] hacker_didko10:
Hello guys . I have tried to do the simple procedure for apps to sd . So I tried to partition my sd card using mini partition tools and then I managed to open apps2sd.sh from the phone with the terminal emulator, the phone restarted and I it said that the sd card is unavaible. I have done master reset, but nothing hapend. I can't reflash becoze I reinstalled my windows and when I try to flash with the kdz flasher it says:

Visual c++ runtime error

The application has requested to terminate it in an unusual way. Please contact...

What shoud I do?
[GT540 Optimus General] bluepower:
Try to install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package and MSXML 4.0 and reflash the phone with KDZ_FW_UPD

and if the bootloader is cracked, then the party will really start :)

i do not mind no mt

i do not mind no flash

i do not mind the low volume (although in crowded area's you can barely hear the other side speaking)

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maff1989:
I noticed that a LOT of people on these Android Development threads are complaining of a "black SOD" they receive even AFTER reformatting their SD cards and reinstalling everything properly. Basically this is an SOD except the screen backlight is on but there aren't any icons.. Similar to the back-lit screen you see before the unlock screen appears, except the phone isn't locked (sometimes, it is).

I noticed this problem when I first started using Android, and let me tell you, it was quite frustrating!! I tried everything. All different WinMo ROMS, multiple Android ROMs, radios; you name it, and I probably tried it. Until one day...

... I finally came upon the solution: the SD card!! For some reason, I wanted to try out a different SD card other than the stock 16GB one. I don't exactly remember the thread or the URL, but I do recall reading a bit of info that helped lead to this conclusion. For me, I switched to the 2GB from my BlackBerry and haven't had one single "black SOD" since that change. :)

I am posting this thread in the development forum because I constantly see people with the same frustration.. Which in turn leads to them blaming the build itself. I urge the dev's to post a note in their threads with this solution, as it will help diminish unnecessary bickering/bashing/posting that these dev's must deal with regarding this issue. Also, I am posting it here because I tried MULTIPLE 'Droid builds and this was the only solution that worked for me.

Let me know if this helps anybody with their dreaded black SOD!! And a big thank you to all the dev's for their extraordinary hard work and dedication in bringing the amazing Android OS to our beloved HD2's.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] krat0s123:
+1... and i believe it's not just the SOD that our SD card is causing.. even the music stuttering, which some people are blaming the problem with the build, kernel and now the enabling of stagefright.. it's not consistent as only some people would have certain issues while most others don't.. i myself have fixed the SOD and music stuttering by replacing the sd card or just by simply fomatting the card.. so i think until we run the full Android on NAND, we would see a lot of incosistencies on the issue of the builds.. unless of course if the problem was something like "camera" for the desire HD build doesn't work.. that you can blame on the kernel as everyone has the same problem therefore consistency on the issue.. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jan-willem3:
I already knew that it was the sd card. Since I never had any sod since august 1. (Started android using there;))
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] veda_sticks:
I have been getting these alot recently. But it doesnt seem to be the SDcard for me. I can play music just fine without any stuttering. Im also been sufferring alot from touch screen freezes which is at its worst when walking on foot, yet its not so bad when on the move in a vehicle. strange.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Prozac69:
+1 for me too.

Had exactly the same with an 8gb SD card but, since switching to a 4gb SD card, I've had no issues whatsoever. All my WINMO and Android installs work straight away with the new card but the Android especially would, 90% of the time, fail to load up on the larger card! :confused:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] rjones9902:
i just replaced my stock TMOUS sd card and put in a 4gb card and loaded the Core Droid 0.5 and it seems to be working fine ( fingers crossed ), no SODs. And i'm also looking at low power consumption as well. Thank God.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] maff1989:
The 2GB I'm using was mainly for testing purposes.. but I'm still using it until I can buy a larger one. Better to have little space with a working build, eh?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mstrk242:
Well I'm not sure one way or another about the black screen SOD, but I am sure that the "skipping" is not related to the sdcard. Some cards, faster ones, seem to do it a lot less (I currently have 7 sd cards, different sizes, speeds, and makes, and have had some downtime at work so I did a bit of testing), but they do it on the evo kernels. Disabling stagefright does work, but it causes other issues with video, so i wouldn't suggest it.

I just performed a little experiment.

Bangsters 1.5, fresh install on my 16gb class 4... SOD present, hard.

Copied the contents of the card to my 2gb card... no SOD. can rapidly sleep\wake phone with no issues at all.

*sigh*
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eenbox:
I have narrowed down Wake-up death screens to two Apps actually since I had no other MicroSD cards to test out...

AutoKiller - any preset you choose you will get SOD (wake-up SOD) - I don't use it anymore and no SODs (this may be actually MicroSD card as all those apps are on it lol);

Ummmm forgot the other one - URGH ... wait ... can't remember now ... once I do I will update my post...

can you describe where to get, and\or how to upgrade to this?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kntdookoo:
Here is my solve

I have been experimenting with these Android builds sine day one. I saw many SOD's for the first few months though haven't seen one yet since I replaced my SD. Went from stock TMOUS 16GB Class ? to a Adata 4GB Class 4. I try a new build almost 3 times a week and since seen no SOD's. Now, my SOD's previously would appear normally under heavy loads or wake/sleep. I have had different WM ROM's and Radio's during this process so I dont think its due to the WM build present in the phone.

Im now running the latest eleg WM build and the HyperDroid latest Android build. Great simple non-sense Shub/CM based ROM with no issues. Definitely a daily user. Oh, and i keep my auto brightness on.

I will say i did see one SOD during trying a new EVO based ROM. But, i tried the "hold phone up to light bulb" and the display came right back. I dont know this is the ABSOLUTE remedy to this issue, but worth a try. I changed to a different ROM immediately though because that one had some data issues...But other than that I can say im completely satisfied with using android as a daily and not returning back to WinMo anytime soon.

...Thanks Dev's

Hi,

I've just moved back to WM after playing with Android for a year. I'm running Dutty's ROM but would like to change the keyboard. I think the current keyboard would be ok if the settings actually worked as what I'd like my keyboard to do are:

1. Haptic feedback

2. Auto capitalisation - there is a setting for this on the default keyboard, just doesn't seem to work.

3. Automatically add a space when you've selected a word.

Any suggestions??

hello experts :)

i want to explain my problem here and i hope that i could found any help

my htc tytn ii worked for 1 year in a perfect condition

but the problem happened when i tried to upgrade the rom to wm6.5

everything was fine tell the device frozen and i pushed the reset button

the device hard reset instead of soft reset :eek:

that happens most of times i try to soft reset (not every time)

some times it happens even if the device is not frozen

it is completely random every time defferent software, cooked rom, hard spl, radio version

every time it hard resets automatically. :mad:

am i have to go back to wm 6.1 (i hope not) :confused:
