[Milestone XT720 General] aous.naimi:
Hi All, I'm really new to this whole flashing thing

after messing with my XT720 Phone (bought in Jordan) for a couple of weeks and after reaching the point of installing Apps2SD and things like that i flashed my phone with the ROM STR_U2_03.20.1 from a site called And Developers. the original was STR_U2_03.20.0, it looks almost the same but i can never tell except tat i missed the Arabic layout for the Mobidiv Keyboard.

any idea where i can get this ROM or Keyboard back?

Also, How can i tell which hardware revision is my phone?

also, any news regarding Froyo?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ryukent:
As of right now (15-Dec 9:30 UK Time), 2.2 is available officially through Kies but only for the Norse.

Using the following registry hack I attempted to update:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\1]

"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEE"

"HIDSWVER"="I9000XXJF3/I9000SWC/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

"DEVCONINFO"=""

Originally Kies gave me this error and the firmware update would crash each time.

msc.thunder.firmwareupdate has stopped working

My solution was to do the following:

Uninstall Kies - The version which it had updated itself to automatically was

1.5.3.10093_80.

Then I downloaded this version: 1.5.3.10093_82. Note that the download on the main samsung support page was Kies_1.5.1.10062_42_2. But you can get the newer version from here:

Download new version

After uninstalling and then reinstalling this new Kies (released today), all my problems went away and I could install Froyo through Kies.

Hope this helps others with the same problem.

At the moment, as of oct-15th, the downloaded version from Italian support mobile site is the above mentionned Kies_1.5.3.10093_82.exe

Definetly something is moving on Samsung planet, now !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] OrionBG:
I've been trying to update my phone from yesterday but Kies shows me that it will update my phone to JM1 ?!? I've done the registry mods! Have the latest Kies!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dessyteneva:
Try "ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU"
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] MartinDude:
So if I get this right, this is THE way to update to the official 2.2 from JPH too?

I change the regedit part and away we go?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alijones:
Thanks, will try as soon as I get home from work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Elvoski:

NOPE! With this it will update my phone to JM1

Help?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tXX:
Registry Hack doesn't work at all in my case.

What exactly do I have to do?

I copy&pasted the Code into a text-file, saved it as .reg and applied the registry-update but Kies still tells me there's no device which hast to be updated.

What am I doing wrong here?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] reflex9000:
Samsung have removed the JP6 from Kies Firmwareserver.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tXX:
So theres no way to get Froyo via Kies even if Samsung have released it officially in some regions?

Strange...

Edit: Kies offers me an update now, but only to JP1. So I definitely can't get Froyo via Kies?

Damn -.-
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cmit37:
Same here but i get JM2.

I have an unlocked UK Galaxy S on T-Mobile and I am trying to upgrade to JP6. With no reg update the latest version of Kies tells me that I am on the latest version JM1.

After the registry edit it shows my version in Kies as JF3 and offers me an update to JM2. I did the update to JM2 once to see what happens however I still do not get offered JP6. The option to upgrade to JM2 still appears and I am told I am on JF3.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Patersr03:
withb the not responding issue has everyone tried the registry update by adding the FUS folder this worked for me at stopping it not responding
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] traiviet:
guys & gals!

Try this method. It worked for me each time i connected to Kies.

1- If you're updated to the newest version of Kies, UNINSTALL it and download and install the older version instead. I used Kies_1.5.3.10093_82

2- Open Kies, plug in your device and let Kies recognize it.

3- Click on UPGRADE. Kies will deny the upgrade. Click CANCEL BUT DO NOT CLOSE KIES.

4- Open Regedit and edit the followings

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\]

"LocalVer"="1.5.3.10103.100"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Samsung\Kies\DeviceDB\N *]

"SoftwareRevision"="I9000XXJF3/I9000OXAJF3/I9000XXJF3/I9000XXJF3"

"ProductCode"="GT-I9000HKDXEU" **

"HIDSWVER"="" ***

"DEVCONINFO"="" ***

* N is a number from 1 to 4 in your Regedit that has the SoftwareRevision and ProductCode info.

** If your ProductCode ends with XEU or XEE, your device will be upgraded to JPO or JPA respectively.

*** Make sure you delete whatever is in HIDSWVER and DEVCONINFO.

5- Close Regedit and Click on UPGRADE again. Kies will upgrade your device in 20 minutes depending on how fast your Broadband is.

I'm trying to get rid of the headset icon in my notification bar and I can't find the .smali and entry I need to edit on the forums or Google. I have no idea how to go about finding it and I don't want to just start messing around in the services.jar. Does anyone know it off hand and can point me where to go? Thanks.

If anyone doesn't know the specific thing needing editing, can you point me in the direction I need to go to figure out what I need?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
Open framework-res.apk and find drawable with this icon. Then search for it in XMLs or smali files.

[General Questions and Answers] nhrao:
I am new user of Samsung Captivate and this is my first android phone.

I have set up my phone to snych with exchange and gmail which works as expected. The problem I am facing is phone "speaks" my appointment. As I recall this started happening after I tried google navigation which forced me to download text to speech package.

I would rather keep my appointments private than announce it to the world. Is there a way to achieve this?

I have tried checking the driving mode check box under text to speech. Does not help. Phone still speaks my appointments.
[EVO 4G General] MJStephens:
This might not be a good tip if you're a "power user" but for normal folks it adds up to quite a bit of battery savings. It's basically something that Ultimate Juice does, but you can do it manually in about 1 second. I use Extended Controls for this little trick. I install a widget that allows you to enable/disable mobile data. When you choose the mobile data button it asks you what you want the function of the widget to be. Choose the one that actually turns off your mobile data. I use this every day and it's been a HUGE help to me. You can still receive calls and texts, but not G-Talk, internet, emails, etc. I've tried disabling "enable always on mobile data" which turns off mobile data when your phone "sleeps" but it doesnt give me the same results. I also add the "sync" button to my widget, that way I can enable data, manually sync then disable data pretty quickly. Like I said, it's not gonna be a big help for people who want to stay synced 100% of the time. But I've left my phone in my car while I was at work and when I came out it literally had not dropped even 1% And it was in there for over 8 hours. Anyways, I just wanted to try to contribute something back since this forum has been a gigantic help to me with all of my phone escapades lol.
[EVO 4G General] .jond:
Yep, I do the same. Huge difference to turn off 3G data when not using it.

Does't stop SMS or phone calls.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Good tip for those who

do not need gmail/gvoice notifications.
[EVO 4G General] om4:
you dont need to download anything, its in the shut down menu and htc has a widget for it if you run sense, not sure if android has a default widget or not but if you are running sense, go to add widget settings mobile network so if disabling 3g is all you need/want, its easier to go that route
[EVO 4G General] MJStephens:
Hey good catch. I dont use sense so I overlooked that.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] damir-bosna:
I wanna know which WM 6.5 Builds have the start menu on top, and which on the bottom

thank you :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] frp123:
•The 21916 Build which is the most reliable, fast and bug free release. It has the Start menu button at the top left corner just like a stock ROM. I recommend you start with this first!

•The 21681 Build that's the latest in the 6.5.3 series with the Start menu button at the bottom left corner and big softkeys. These builds are not as stable or perfect, but they reflect the latest cutting edge technology from Microsoft. These are also much more finger friendly throughout.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] segadc:
I sure am. Just hope the wait is not too long. Wish Microsoft released a Zune HD2. That would help with the wait...

firmware version 2.1-update 1

baseband 63.18.55.06PU_6.35.15.14

KERNEL VERSION 2.6.29-36D5CB8D

htc-kernal@and18-2 #1

build number 3.35.61.2 cl196735 release-keys

software number 3.35.61.2 browser version webkit 3.1

I have been wanting to install a custom rom on my phone for several months now however no matter what method i try i am unsuccesful closest i have come is using rom manager which allows me to reboot into recovery but once the handset has rebooted home screen and power button just gets me to the triangle on screen and i have to remove battery. all flash recorder methods fail at either back up recovery

or writing flash.

I believe my phone is rooted as i can grant su to rom manager ect and androot tells me i am rooted it is like something resets recovery every time the handset boots into os.

i really have tried every method i have found but dare not try and install anything for fear of recovery not being available to me and i am now wondering if the 2.1 update has blocked something.

please help willing to make donation to any devs that can help me through this as well as the countless others having the same problem
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ampicillin:
there was one thread here .. try to search it i forget link it can explain you how to root official 2.1 otherwise run RUU & Do downgrade :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brisuth:
according to all the programmes i run to check status of root (latest one is under the hood) it lists

Device: htc_hero hero

Root Status: Device routed

ro. build fingerprint: orange_uk/htc_hero/hero/hero:2.1-update1/ERE27/196735:user/release-keys

every programme that requires root access works for me tho i do have to grant it every time for programmes , the clockwork recovery has to be reflashed if phone has been restarted to enable me to access the recovery, and when i do this su pops up telling me it has been granted.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brisuth:
1 method i tried but never got past step backup recovery was this but i get message backup failed could not run command

"HTC Hero Custom Recovery

Step 1:

It's advisable to format the SD Card before do this process. You're going to lose all the information in the SD Card, do a manual backup to your computer of whatever you want, to do it:

Settings -> SD Card & phone storage -> Unmount SD card -> Format SD card

Step 2:

Download the flashrec from http://code.google.com/p/flashrec/

Download the recovery image provided by Paul from http://www.romraid.com/paul/hero/1.2-hero-recovery.zip

Extract the 1.2-hero-recovery.zip to your PC.

Step 3:

Now copy flashrec and recovery-RA-hero-v1.5.2.img (wich is inside the .zip file) directly to your SD card

Step 4:

Use an app installer from Google Market to install flashrec, i used ASTRO, but can be any other.

Step 5:

Once installed, open the program, click the button "Backup Recovery Image" and wait to finish, shouldn't take much time, this will do a backup of your actual recovery and put it in your SDCard with the name recovery-backup.img.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] duck0:
You're absolutely right, the 2.1 update for the Hero installs a recovery rom reset, so whenever you boot up your phone normally, it reflashes it (or possibly checks that it's not the original and then flashes).

I don't quite remember where this was done anymore, it might have been a script in /system/bin that gets called from init(rc), called something like flash_recovery.sh. Perhaps someone who isn't running a custom rom could help out and pinpoint it for future reference (I am so not going back from cyanogen 6.0 :-)

Edit: I grabbed unyaffs and checked out my old nandroids, it's /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, comment out the line in it (add a # at the beginning of the line) and it will not clobber your custom recovery
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brisuth:
i have located file but now i feel really stupid as have not got a clue what to edit it with i am assuming it would be some type of txt editor and if u could specify the line i need to edit out or is it the name of the file i am changing,

really am gratefull for you pointing this out i had guessed what was happening just could find nothing to confirm it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] duck0:
It might need to be a text editor that knows not to break unix line endings, but you can copy the file (cat file > /path/to/destination/file) to your sdcard or use adb to pull the file... fairly straightforward I thought.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] brisuth:
A big thankyou to duck0 for identifying the problem and botoo for getting me to a happy conclusion with the correct commands

SOLUTION IS HERE USING Console mode from windows using ADB USB DEBUGGING HAS TO BE ENABLED WITH HERO CONNECTED TO PC THEN TYPE THE FOLLOWING

THEN ENTER AFTER EACH COMMAND

anyone needing help setting up adb see this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=757233

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

rm /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

Thats it all done next step

INSTALL ROM MANAGER FROM MARKET IT IS FREE

open it and sellect flash alternate recovery image from the bottom, you can use the clockwork recovery but it is not compattable with all roms.

once done turn phone off, boot into recovery home + power choose to exit recovery with reboot shut down once again and if you can enter recovery then everything is sweet.

Somehow my codecs went missing.how can I find more codecs so I can play videos again
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] B.Maximenko:
We know why the scroll lag is a problem but there is no progress with it for nearly a month so I decided to waste some time capturing the phenomenon on video. Here is a comparison between michyprima's old r0 build (September, 24) and current hastarin's r7.4 (in fact, all both michyprima's and hastarin's kernels after r0 and r4.1 respectively are affected with this problem on my device; bare kernel from netripper.com is affected too, so the reason is there):

michyprima r0: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fiPkdV7SLVA

hastarin r7.4: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Te8FUNTgxOE

UPD: fixed hastarin r7.5: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X0w7fHSHWwY

The question is, is it possible to make a kernel with reverted changes to touchscreen driver (or whatever causes the lag)? Is it possible for me to do it myself? I don't know a thing about kernel code but.. I'm really eager to get all the progress gained by devs in last 20 days and I really can't be happy with it because of the horrible screen lag which besides being ugly doesn't allow to use the keyboard smoothly.

Sorry for my English and thanks for your time and efforts. I'll be happy to find a solution.

Thanks to devs again. :)

UPDATE 1:

Most people confirmed having this issue with hastarin's r4.1 to r7.4 kernels, though there are people who seem to not have it at all. I share memin1857's guess that the reason could be existence of two types of hardware digitizers, one of which shows the lag with latest kernel from git, and the other doesn't.

Thanks to hastarin, this issue is settled for now. And even more, with his r7.5 kernel the lag on my device is even far less than it was in r4.1! I'm very happy now guys :) Thank you for help! :) If I have some time in the evening, I'll shoot another video with a demo of r7.5 behavior for comparison.

UPDATE 2:

I've added a video with demonstration of scrolling with hastarin r7.5 on my device.

Scroll lag is eliminated. Now I'm curious if it is possible to increase the polling rate of digitizer (I guess it is around 30 Hz now) to attain smooth scrolling, like on iPhone or Galaxy S. Because with current kernels it doesn't lag anymore, but it is still choppy. What can you say about this, devs?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] shure2:
have you tried michyprima r11? it doesn't suffer the lag you have shown here
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
r11, is that a nexus kernel? The new kernels fixes Camera flash on EVO builds etc.. but the screen lag is dreadful :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] B.Maximenko:
Yeah, I tried. Actually I used it before sticking with michuprima's r0 on EVO base. And I continue using the r0. But the point is that I miss all the progress coming with newer kernels because of the scroll lag I can't accept. :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lemonspeakers:
I've noticed this trend as well!

Scroll lag is becoming a problem for me. It feels like you have to move a heavy rock to start scrolling. It's not easy. It's annoying.

Hastrin's new kernels are good, but suffer from this scroll lag, something so important for everyday use.

Michy's Kernels suffer from blank screen issues where it takes 5 seconds to recover.

It's annoying.

Best kernel I've found was Hastrin 4.1

It's not as powerful, but it certainly most stable.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
So you'll be attempting to fix the scroll lag ? I look forward to your developments
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] B.Maximenko:
No, I'm a looser, not a developer. I'm only gathering the attention to this problem and I will track the development and add new thoughts on the subject.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] lemonspeakers:
im a long time user, and im also interested to see this fixed.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] norpan111:
Some dev keep saying that there is no scroll-lag and is probably SD-card related. Well, there IS actually a problem with the new kernels.
