[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trembly01:
yea i did, i read somewhere on here that the "perflock" has to be disabled when using a stock kernal and running froyo, any truth to that ??? and a friend of mine has an incredible and he told me that these mods really don't make that much of a difference, now he's a verizon sales rep so he may be telling me that so i don't change my phone too much
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patches152:
generally speaking there are two types of people who are employees for phone companies:

A) someone who just wants a paycheck

B) geeks like us who like to hack and mod and tinker

A will tell you that hacking will void warranty, blah blah blah....mostly because they don't know much about what stuff is. B will tell you what they know, and admit when they don't know something.

it sounds like your friend is falling into the A category, especially if they're saying "mods don't change much". they change quite a bit, so be careful.

as far as your question in the OP, with my eris i would just mess with stuff, and see how the phone runs. don't save to run at boot until you know it's stable and will not crash or freeze your phone. adjust settings, and see how it responds, repeat as necessary.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihneagabriel:
Yes you have to disable perflock.

I only adjusted my power bias to 650 I think which is 65%. 1000 being 100% and 10 being 1%. All this does is make sure you cpu stays on the lower end of the usage. I have a 2150 and stream pandora a lot and always have 3g running, I go online and everything and I get 2 days of usage with a down clock and some profiles.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caemgen:
Hello!

I just updated my Galaxy S to the official 2.2 Froyo JP6 through Kies (by changing the registry-values). After that, I did factory reset and the phone runs nice and smooth now.

I'm a bit of a n00b when it comes to the more 'advanced' stuff though, so I was wondering what would be the easiest way to root my phone now.

I did it with 2.1 by using OCLF, and that was a piece of cake. But that doesn't work anymore.

Can someone help me out here?

That would be much appreciated.

I'm a noob. I had JM1 running on my unlocked SGS. i downloaded JPM, tried flashing it via ODIN with the 803pit file. ODIN displayed a message in red, "FAILED". i took off my phones usb cable after a while and rebooted it. My phone wouldn't detect the SIM card. I did a factory reset and now all my applications force close on startup and I can't use ANYTHING at all! I tried doing a factory reset via the recovery mode and deleting cache, but it didn't help. I also tried flashing another firmwire using ODIN, but it also failed. My phone is detected by KIES and it recognizes my phone firmware as JM1...

Why not WMV???

Is there any codex downloads to add ??

I downloaded this DIVX demo thing and it plays WMV fine.. I tried some of the programs mentioned in this thread and none play them.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imex99:
I dont know.... I'm going to try all of this out with different formats when I have the time!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
Because the EVO won't play wmv without adding a program to do so. You added a program that does, which is fine, but that was not the question the OP asked.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fastfed:
Umm b ut it wont play .AVI or many other formats either.. But you (and others) always specifically mention "Not WMV files"

why? they play just as fine as any other format and as it seems everything but what you actually record needs a program..

Basically, why are people always saying not to do WMV but everything else is fine?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
Because the codecs natively used in the wmv containers are not supported natively in the evo.

To the op, none of the market players will play digital copies no matter what they say. I have about six movies on my evo and all were digital copies. I had to screen capture them because android in general will not currently play drm content and dc's have drm. Understand that the market players can only play content with no type of protection on them such as drm. At this time, there is no way to watch pure digital copies.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OgremustCrush:
Depending on what studio the DVD with the digital copy came from, the files themselves are either going to be protected mp4's or protected wmv's. Neither of which will play on an Android device. If the file is an mp4, it *might* play if you strip the protection off, but I have no clue as to how easy or possible that is. A wmv won't play whether it is protected or not as far as I know.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xent:
I usually download my apks in my computer and send them to my phone so I could archive them or send them to friends easily. The problem is, their file names are very long and hard to read in the phone. If I rename the apk files, would it affect installation-wise, ie it will install as another 'version' of that app. So let say if i installed a renamed apk and update it with another version of the same app, would it interfere?
[Wildfire General] WillKennerley:
I just rooted my phone, I first thought this would be really useful but it isn't really for me. Am I right in saying that the only way to revert back to my original ROM(?) will be to flash my phone effectively loosing all the data on it? Or can I keep all my data, my text messages phone history etc?

I haven't installed any custom ROMs, just rooted using unrevoked 3. Will my OTA updates be blocked? Can I update to 2.2 (official) when it's released? Will this unroot my phone?

Thanks, I'm new to all this stuff.
[Wildfire General] rolks:
u dont need to unroot, just install ota and phone will be unrooted
[Wildfire General] WillKennerley:
So the OTA updates aren't blocked because I'm not using a custom ROM?
[Wildfire General] Gurdjieff:
Im not sure but i think if the phone is rooted you have to install the update manualy from recovery if the ota is here
[Wildfire General] WillKennerley:
So I will loose no data off my phone by doing the OTA update when it is released? And my phone will become unrooted too?
[Wildfire General] rolks:
data will be lost, but if you did nandroid backup you can restore later data
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:

[Wildfire General] ErwinP:
Hy, i have the same questions myself, glad to know more about it using your topick here. But i have a little question: if your phone was originaly in an different language (Dutch in my case), will this OTA update reset the phone again in that original language?

Thanks in advance,

Erwin
[Wildfire General] WillKennerley:
It should do, as long as your phone is still network locked?

Anyway can't you change your Phone's language from the settings menu? Settings>Language & Keyboard>Select locale

Oh and thanks for all the replies guys, I may actually keep my phone rooted, I will probably flash Wildpuzzle when it supports the European features such as friend stream which seem to be blocked on the China ROM.

I was very happy to find this new firmware from 0929 from Christian as I was unhappy the way my aPad ZT-180 was running on the original firmware. It crashed on the time, but most everything worked ok. After upgrading my ROM, I'm now having a several problems I wanted to ask about.

1. When I turn on my WiFi under in WiFi Settings, the WiFi comes on and then I get a message at the bottom of the screen: "Unable to scan for networks", Then the WiFi turns itself off. I have the box called Network Notification checked too. (Before the ROM upgrade, I had no problem with WiFi connecting.)

2. The screen will not rotate by itself, even though I have the orientaion senor checked in System Prerferences. It seems to be stuck in the horizonal mode. However, when I run a couple of different programs, it switches to vertical and then will not go back to horizonizal mode again.

3. None of my videos will play on the unit and I cannot even get the videos on YouTube to play. I have tried various formats of videos and several video players and nothing works.

Does anyone have similar problems and do you have any ideas of how to fix these issues ?

Thanks in advance for your help.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mms0039:
So, I decided to root my phone and put J16ROM Bionix 1.7 OCUV Voodoo J16. I back up my old ROM just in case. After successfully flashing the new rom, I was really happy with how fast my vibrant became w/o lag. However, I forgot to write down contact info and my password from password safe. So, I was kinda glad that I backed up old ROM. I tried to recover my old rom from ROM manager and thats where my phone gave up on me. It was recovering just fine until it hit data session. It has been there since yesterday and has not moved. I turned it off this morning and it automatically turned back on and went into recovery mode.

So, as of right now, I have access to phone recovery boot menu and clockwork recovery menu. I tried doing the same recovery method but it froze on me at the same exact spot. Did I mess up my phone???
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JW15Money:
Did you disable Voodoo before you tried to go back to stock?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kiladubz:
i would say no, thankfully if you can get to recovery your phone is far from dead, but you should prob flash a stock rom through odin, READ Bionix fix for flashing without disabling voodoo, let me know if you need more info. but you should be alright, remember that your stuff (contacts, etc) are backed up to gmail.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jamison904:
You didn't disable Voodoo before trying to do the restore... did you.

This is the only way to save it now, good luck.

Did You Flash Something Before Disabling Voodoo? 2 Fixes to Help You Out. So you forgot to disable the voodoo lagfix before you flashed a new rom and now you're getting an erro you'll be good as rain...or something like that Fix 1 1. Download Eugenes 'Froyo that does not brick' file. 2. Extract the files. 3. Open Odin, plug in your phone, then put it into download mode. 4. load the PIT file in appropriate area. 5. load the .tar file in the PDA area. 6. DO NOT check 're-partition' 7. Click start, let it finish. Your phone will load and reboot into stock recovery. It will error out again. DO s what's supposed to happen 8. Now, pull your battery. 9. Download the 'True stock 2.1 firmware for the vibrant'. 10. Extract the files. 11. Once again, open Odin, plug in your phone, put into download mode. 12. Load the PIT file into the appropriate area and the .tar in the PDA area. 13. THIS TIME you want to check the 're-partition' box. 14. Now click start, let it finish, and this time your phone will load up just fine! BAM Fix 2: (use only if you know how to use adb commands) 1. Place the 'disable-lagfix' file in your sdk>tools directory 2. Get into clockwork recovery like you normally would 3. Follow these adb commands to push the 'disable-lagfix' file to you sdcard>voodoo adb push disable-lagfix /sdcard/voodoo 4. File should now be on your sdcard in your voodoo folder. 5. Reboot phone and with luck, you should hear Linda the robot telling you your file system is being con rfs 6. Because your system directory has already been wiped, you'll still get a black screen when you reboot system is back to rfs. Just pull the battery, and reflash whatever rom you want. Then reboot again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mms0039:
