If this is a repost, Mod please delete or merge... I googled but couldn't find much that wasn't scam-ware.

I'm running current OS X (10.6.4), Virtualbox current (3.2.10). I've been trying to get Kies w/my vibrant working in WinXP in the VM. I can't seem to get my vibrant to connect to Kies. If i need to use a VM distro like vmware fusion in stead of free open source i will, i just wasn't sure if i was doing something wrong. The samsung pops up in the usb attachment option for a sec but then disappears. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
Did you configure a device filter for the phone in kies mode?
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Also

Check you settings on your pull down, i m not much help 'cause i can't remember... but I had a similar problem i messed with it and resolved. It was something pretty easy just where I thought to look. But it was something I did on the phone

goo.gl/jiL4 ---This is the kies mini link if you want or need this.

Also do a search in this forum there are many things that address problems like this already posted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JFBlouin:
Hi

I received my new Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant from BELL 4 days ago.

I have COMA problem with it. When I eared that 2.2 is released, I flash it in my phone with Odin. I also root it with One-Click Root. Every thing was OK but I can't connect to data network.

I tried a Reset Factory and after that every things become BAD.

When I start my phone, it jam on start-up GALAXY S GT-I9000 page.

3 keys start-up do the same thing.

The only way I can unfreeze it is by One-Click Root and USB connection.

A scroll menu appear (Android system recovery). I have choice between: Reboot. Apply sdcard. Wipe or Format.

What can I do ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Seams that is something wrong with the data on the.phone.

Just flash it again and se.if.it work.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JFBlouin:
Do you know how I can flash without 3-buttons ? 3 buttons no longer working.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
if you can't get 3 button combo to work, you'll have to use adb commands to get your phone into download mode. there are tons of resources on this, check out the sticky posts or google "adb reboot download"
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DamianGto:
Dident they worked before?

In that case remove the battery and leave it out 10 minutes.

Then out it in and try again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thantik:
I've turned off use wireless networks, I've checked the GPS settings (Bionix rom has them set to default) and my GPS (using the test tool) can see 9-12 birds if I let it sit there for 30 seconds or so, but after 20 minutes of letting it sit, still doesn't lock on to ANY of them.

I'm using the stock kernel, gps used to lock (although unreliably) on the older build (whatever comes with stock...JFD I think?)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichu_9:
Try sending a message to team whiskey to see if they can help you. Did you install any other updates after installing the Bionix rom and also make sure you give the stable release with fixed GPS a try.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
I'm on bionix 1.8, I was outside for 45 minutes and never got a lock.ridiculous.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
You guys should re flash. I've ran both 1.8 and 1.9, both lock onto 10/11 sats and 20ft accuracy in less than 15 seconds.

Sent from my SGH-T959
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thantik:
Nope; it's a fresh install of Bionix 1.9. I was thinking of doing an ODIN back to stock and then reinstalling Bionix just in case there was some remnants of a GPS fix left on the device but I figured that would have all gotten wiped by the Bionix install.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daverod:
Same issue here. I flashed back to JFD via Odin and still had the issue. I then upgraded to JI6 without making any real changes and still have the issue. I've been on Frankin-Twiz, and Bionix 1.8 and 1.9.1 and hadn't ever seen any improvement.

I take that back. I installed GPSTest and ran through a procedure where I cleared 'GPS Aiding Data' (or a similar name) and was finally able to get a fix after sitting and waiting for 10 mins or so. Immediately following, I was able to use Navigation for the 1st time with this phone. Unfortunately, it didn't stick.

If I have 'Use Wireless Networks' enabled under 'Location and Security' and open G-Maps as I sit at my house, it can find my location based on my wireless network's SSID. If I drive away at that point, GPS is able to track my location and Navigation does work.

However, if I open G-Maps while I'm already on the road, it cannot get a fix. Or, rather, it can't get a fix in a reasonable amount of time. I don't consider 10 mins reasonable since anything I'm trying to do which is location-sensitive is usually more urgent than not.

In short, this sucks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prajnakandarpa:
Hey guys,

I rooted my GT I9000M using the SGS Easy Rooting tool and then installed the One Click Lag fix app. After a few days, I tried to unroot the phone using the onboard OCLF(One click lag fix) app. This caused the phone restart and it got stuck on the screen with the glowing S. It stays that way for ~10 minutes and then goes blank. But the capacitative buttons light up when I press the home button. The process repeats when I hold down the power button at this stage.

I think the three button mode works for me because I was able to get into the 'Downloading' mode. I am a noob and don't know what to do now. I haven't messed with the ROMs or anything. Just rooted the phone.

What am I supposed to do now? PLEASE help me.

Thanks.

[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
i attempted to replace most of the .apks in the system app folder with the same .apks from an ealier version of the rom (because i prefer black to blue/black). i replaced them in the .zip before i flashed it, hoping it would work.. but it didnt.. in the recovery menu it says:

....

verifying update package...

e:wrong digest:

system/app/browser.apk

e:verification failed

browser was one i replaced. how do i make this work? i dont want to use root explorer to manually replace each ****ing thing, and i have no patients for adb. i must need to sign the package or something? i never unpacked anything, just replaced some contents.. thought id be fine..

on a related note there may be more issues to come. unzipped the framework-res.apk to my computer, renamed it .zip, went inside and replaced the battery icons, renamed it back to .apk and replaced the modified file in the rom. who knows what chaos i might have caused there.. if you know what to expect and how to fix it please feel free to help!

if it matters at all, the rom im modifying and flashing is nonsensikal 9.5 black/blue, the system apps came from version 8.2 black, and battery icon .pngs came from 5.4 black.
[Droid Eris Android Development] sk842018:
Id try and resign the whole rom after you make your changes it should be just fine
[Droid Eris Android Development] tenzomonk:
you cannot simply replace the apks in the zip, then flash. after replacing, use one of the following methods:

if you use linux, use EasySign (http://android.grdlock.net/index.php?&direction=0&order=&directory=HTC Droid Eris/Extras) or the Android Kitchen (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=633246).

if using Windows:

Use AutoSign (http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html).
[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
Thanks. I'll get on the computer and give it a shot.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
if you've unzipped the framework-res.apk then none of this will work anyway. You need to pull the images out of the old framework-res.apk and drag and drop them back into the new framework-res.apk without unzipping it. You shouldn't even need to rename it to zip. Just open it with a program like 7zip without unzipping and drop the png's in the correct folders. Then you can put the .apk back in the rom and resign from the links directed above.
[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
Oh it all worked fine. I never unzipped framework, just extracted it from the Rom and renamed it, then replaced files, renamed back to apk, and replaced in original .zip. it worked great.

To achieve full 9.5 black I have to copy all of the previous versions (black) framework .pngs to the new Rom though.

I think the file is like, drawable-mpdi or something. Not landscape or non. I don't really know.. not in right frame of mind

Most likely not the issue, but have you gotten a text from them saying you went over your 5gb, have you? If so, you might be throttled. Just throwing that out there.

[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
EDIT: Just updated post 2 you probably want to read both this post and that post before trying to build.

you can skip the part of getting the official source and the cyanogen source by just doing

repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b froyo

First some prereqs You must be using linux and building for an evo 4G aka htc_supersonic

Install the android SDK as instructed here: http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing.html

You will need JDK most linux distros have this in the respositorys.

Then just follow step 2 and make sure that you can run adb from any directory in terminal.

Now to the good stuff.

You will now need to open a terminal window and run the following as root

cd /usr/bin/; curl http://android.git.kernel.org/repo > repo; chmod a+x /usr/bin/repo

now as user do the following

mkdir ~/android
cd ~/andoid
repo init -u git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git
repo sync

This can take FOREVER like 4-5 hours so you might want to let it go when you go to sleep.

Depending on how fast your computer is the following step can take a long time too

cd ~/andoid
make

This will build the source code for a generic device it should build everything correctly if you have all of the compilers and what not. If it fails just install the app that it is complaining about.

Now for the EVO specific stuff

cd ~/android/device/htc
git clone http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_supersonic.git supersonic

That will get the build files however you are going to have to edit them to get it to work.

~/android/device/htc/supersonic/BoardConfig.mk needs to be edited

TARGET_RECOVERY_UI_LIB := librecovery_ui_supersonic librecovery_ui_htc

TARGET_RECOVERY_UPDATER_LIBS += librecovery_updater_htc

should be

#TARGET_RECOVERY_UI_LIB := librecovery_ui_supersonic librecovery_ui_htc

#TARGET_RECOVERY_UPDATER_LIBS += librecovery_updater_htc

Some other files may have to be edited to your liking. Personaly I changed ADWLauncher to launcher2 and removed all of the cyanogen stuff.

Now to setup the build enviroment.

cd ~/android
cp ./vendor/cyanogen/products/cyanogen_supersonic.mk ./buildspec.mk
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cyanogen_supersonic-eng

Now to do the building.

make CYANOGEN_WITH_GOOGLE=true otapackage ## if you want google apps (market etc.)
make otapackage ## 100% Open Source only!

By the way for some reason you have to inclued the otapackage even if you just want the .img files because otherwise it crashes at least for me.

Let me know if you encounter any problems and I will try to help.
[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
UPDATES

Copy your ~android folder somewhere and replace ~/android in this tutorial with the directory that you copied it to. This will allow you to update the overlay when needed.

To add google files you will need to do this

cd ~/android/vendor/cyanogen
./get-google-files

This gets the htc files and I think taht it might be required.

cd ~/android/device/htc/supersonic
./extract-files.sh

To make a clean rom like mine do the following:

Edit the file ~/android/vendor/cyanogen/products/common.mk to your liking. I just changed the build name and rom version.

I added the files sysrw and sysro ad you can see in the file just put them in a directory and tell it where they are and where you want them. Also I commented out rommanager.apk as I don't like or use it. Also I use RA recovery so it wont work for me anyway.

Also edit the file ~/android/vendor/cyanogen/products/cyanogen_supersonic.mk

I chaged teh build number to the latest spring and removed the boot animation as I like the stock android one better (and it is faster).

YOU NEED TO do this if you want a keyboard...

edit ~/android/vendor/cyanogen/Android.mk and remove LatinIME!

Now we delete some files.

go to ~/android/packages/apps

delete any application that you don't want. You can optionally add program source code that you do want.

I deleted CM* and Protips

I also edited some code in Settings to remove Cyanogen stuff. Actually I took the stock android stuff an edited that with one little fix but I forgot what it was. Just try to build and it will tell you in an error message.

[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
Still broke but I think that I know the problem. CM and this are version 2.2.1 and most apps only show in the market if you are running 2.2 will test and report back.
[EVO 4G Android Development] DarkAudit:
So is there a workaround for this?
[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:

[EVO 4G Android Development] l33tlinuxh4x0r:
I am working on updating this thread to be truely 100% stock as currently it uses a bunch of cyanogen stuff. However it is giving me a lot of build errors that I will have to work out first. Also I am going out of town for the rest of the week so this will have to wait. If anyone else has any ideas let me know.

I think that I might have it working. Building now to test. NOTE: I had to remove FM radio as it is made by miui and cyanogenmod and is intertwined with the android framework and I don't have the time to look through it right now to find the exact changes taht are needed to use it while keeping out the CM stuff.

Also I am going to try to clean up the make files aka the vendor directory and remove most of the CM stuff completly so instead of lunch cyanogenmod_supersonic-eng you will lunxh AOSP_supersonic-eng and some other things.

Look out for updates.

I like the blue, but as much as I dislike Apple as well I can do without the little crossed out apple on Andy's chest. I modified photoshopped it and it came out just fine. I thought maybe that was the same one used in the list of contacts too but when I list my contacts, you can see the small Andy with the crossed out apple on his chest in the list. I am looking for what apk file find that little icon. I have tried the following apks and did not see it. I am hoping someone may know:

phone.apk

htcdialer

contacts provider

htccontacts
