No go I'm afraid. The device won't connect to the pc because it says it won't allow a USB connection without being at an idle screen. Since I can't close launcher pro without the system hanging it won't allow a usb connection. Right now the best I can do is maybe download an update.zip to my internal storage and try and run that in recovery mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ock:
Hi Jumba, nice to see you here :)

Have you tried switching USB mode from Kies to USB storage? Debugging mode works by just connecting the cable.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sincci:
If you can access the settings menu, you should be able to enable the mass storage mode for usb. It's under Wireless and network -> USB settings. This one doesn't require you to be in idle screen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jumba:
Hey ock, good to see you too! Boy I'm having to learn android fast! :P Here's the situation. I have no experience in using adb, so I'm not sure what exact commands to enter. I can't see USB mode under Wireless and network settings, which I find strange, but it does seem to connect in debug mode.

So I'm a bit stuck. Where to from here?

Edit: I can browse to my /system/app folder but it won't let me delete TouchWiz30Launcher.apk - do I need to reboot into some sort of safe mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Omegavirus:
Tw is faster.. But half of it is english now and the other german. (selected german in settings because i'm from austria).

So how can i get it to show up in full german? :)

Great work :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Good stuff. Works for me on JPM Froyo.

I did modify the updater-script to delete the old files before copying the new one over:

delete("/system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.apk","/system/app/TouchWiz30Launcher.odex");
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Sincci:
It should be in there if you have Froyo, in Eclair it's under About phone -> USB Settings.

I don't know if the mass storage mode works with usb debugging on, but it can be disabled from Settings -> Applications -> Development -> untick enable debugging mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] webstar1:
This launcher makes no difference to the lag on my touchwiz, oh well good job anyways
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jumba:
Well I've tried everything including flashing the original update.zip and it's still crashing. I'm doing a Titanium backup and then will do a hard reset. Hopefully that will fix things.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Here is a lightly modified installer (it deletes the existing apk and odex first before copying the new one) as well as an uninstaller/revert update.zip

(Rename the one you want to use to update.zip.)

The "restore" update.zip installs the stock JPM TouchWiz.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] hardcore:
Since the update.zip changes files in /system, you might have to do a reflash of the PDA using Odin to get back to stock. Anyway, I've uploaded a restore zip. U might wanna try that first.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] alexandruvlad:
Does this work on the JP6 ? Any effect / improvements ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Spike_M:
yes its work with jp6
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cotw:
Can someone please upload stock JP6 TW files in an update.zip? I tried one of the files here and now I'm getting constant FC's everywhere.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Jumba:
Good luck mate, I still haven't solved mine. Even after a factory reset it still crashes constantly. Looks like a re-flash through Download mode using Odin is the only solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mike.sw:
why people don't backup old system files before making changes in system files?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cotw:
Because we are dumb. Well, I am at least :)

Not that I mind too much doing a factory reset/flash, but still... I'll see what I can do about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] WickedStyx:
Anyone know if this will/should work on a Captivate rom?

I'll give it a try later anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brio94:
Hi, could you pass the file to be replaced in TouchWiz30Launcher.apk to install the fix manually? Why the update.zip I crashed the first phone and I had to restore. Thank you so much
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wliu88:

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brio94:
Please,help me :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CazeW:
Download the zip and extract the apk from there.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Mrr K:
Just installed this apk and it definitely feels quicker than the stock twlauncher. Great job! :)

Admittedly I keep my phone pretty clean though - only 3 pages used in the app drawer lol

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pele78:
Your not alone mate lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Spike_M:
you can extract zip file and find it in system/app

try extract apk and search res folder

you can give me captivate launcher and i **** it for you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DocRambone:
Spike, i took your launcher tru my optimize script, (attached it foryou) may be a bit quicker , I did not compare tho ;)

Hope u did not mind.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] CazeW:
Now here's a funny story for you guys.

I made my own launcher.apk which I then tried to get to work. First I had problems installing it manually through adb so the idiot me went and uninstalled TouchWiz from Titanium Backup. After that I realized there was no way I was going to get it to work now so I searched and searched for ways to reinstall it... didn't find any that worked. That process took several hours including installing CWM and recovery 2e which I didn't have before.

Now bored of searching I decided I'll just reflash JP6 and Voodoo and get it over with. After done reflashing, I now knew how to install my launcher apk from adb. It didn't work. Then I tried the modified apk in this thread and halleluja, we had lift off! Turns out I didn't create my apk correctly so that was the reason it didn't work. This joy lasted for a whole 30s until I realized my launcher was still as laggy as before.

As I didn't want to have my launcher partly in english, I then restored my backup of the launcher. Now, as I said I had reflashed JP6 so my homescreen settings were wrong. So I went to MyBackup Pro to restore them. As I got back to the homescreen, I restored my widgets and as a last restore I opened app drawer to enable AdFree. And what happened when I opened the app drawer? That ****er was completely lag free! And I mean completely. It was as smooth as a babys bottom! Not even on Eclair had it been this smooth.

This whole adventure took me over 4 hours and a lot of swearing but what did I learn from it? I learned that I give up on trying to understand how the hell Samsung software works...

EDIT: An update to the story. After a reboot, as I changed the battery icon, the lag was back. But then I got a crazy idea and here's the real headscratcher for you. I restored my Android Home settings from MyBackUp Pro again just to test this and what do you know, the app drawer is once again completely lag free!

So that's something for people that this apk didn't work for to test. :)

As to why it works for me I don't even have the slightest clue...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] brio94:
I applied a fix to another touchwizlauncher and I would not miss this fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Spike_M:

You have to use Root Explorer to replace the original TouchWiz30Launcher.apk in /system/app and then restart the device.

I've never used it myself, but I'm sure you can place folders on your screen by longpressing on the display and choosing 'Folders' from the list. It is the third choice.:)

I dropped my phone today, and found some sort of cracked glass under my invisible shield.

As the pictures says, the crack is almost unnoticeable if you look at it straight... but if you look at it sideways, you can see the cracked glass.... the SAMOLED is not ruined i dont think, but the glass sure is...

Will the following product be a good replacement for this ? or will the tmobile replace it under warranty? do you guys think they will be able to spot that?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSP_Hacker:
AMOLED displays won't get ruined by a piece of plastic touching it because the whole screen is an array of lights :D

Another good thing about AMOLED!

About the warranty... I think this depends on the person checking your phone for warranty status. If the employee is doing his job quick, he might not notice the crack. Though if he really checks everything, it will be detected.

The good thing here is that your screen still works... but how is the touch input? Is it distorted around the area of the crack?

I think you should try to repair it; buy the parts online, check out a tutorial, etc.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] necromancerr:
The touch interface is perfect... it doesn't have any distortion or anything around anywhere...

I couldn't find a lot of replacement parts online. I found some which are just LCD screen and not SAMOLOED according to some forums... this was the only one that says that it is SAMoLED, but there was no reviews or nothing about this website, so i don't know weather its genuinely SAMOLED or not. Any feedback will be appreciated...

I called tmobile and the rep said that there is nothing that they can do about it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whiskeybro:
Bad news for Samsung the Galaxy S owners among us. Samsung had started rolling out the update to Froyo (Android 2.2) but has released the update again taken offline. The reason is the large number of complaints about the speed of the Galaxy s after the update. Also came bugs above table. Apparently works the OS on the Galaxy S not as it should and can display the programmers of Samsung.

Many users complained, inter alia, on Twitter about the slowness of the Galaxy S while the update of the speed goes up. This is due to the speedy Dalvik JIT-compiler based Froyo.

As the flag there now hangs in the middle of November the update will continue to be rolled out. Hopefully, Samsung has set aside enough time to solve the problems and the update actually going again in november. In addition to a speed improvement must in particular GPS also run more smoothly.

Gingerbread will most likely be brought to the nexus one but what about 3.0 and beyond? Do you think they will make a new device? Possibly the n2? What about tablets? Will they start a new android line just for tablets. The android phpne market is very spread out right now, phones like the Motorola charm will probobly never see froyo but phones like the Droid x and vibrant have processors that will not become outdated for several years to come. Are company's updating hardware too quickly?

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bt1980:
I don't think there needs to be a tablet developer platform designated. Screen resolution differences are something that should be simple enough d'or developers to figure out.

The entire point of a developer platform device is to develop the core OS updates on it, so I fully expect at least another year of official updates for the N1. Especially because we haven't actually seen any faster processor released into the market yet.

The secondary point of a designated developer platform would be to support a core of standard hardware under Android. Smarter OEMs should understand that if they want to have less work to port android to their devices, and to get updates on their devices more quickly, they should try to use hardware components either common to ADP or that have Linux support.

Sure, OEMs can deviate, but anything they include that isn't either compatible with ADP hardware, or already supported in Linux will have to be supported by the company making that handset. So it is up to the consumers to say if they want devices more like the Desire, or more like the X10. Laf!

[General Questions and Answers] Smirny:
Hi all,

i've spent a few days reading in these forums before i finally registered myself to get some help.

I'm currently on an iPhone 3G running together with a Macintosh and I'm finally planning to get rid of the iPhone.

My general thoughts were to leave the iOS System and get an Android Device, although lately WP7 also caught up my attention but I just think it can't keep up with Android.

I build this Mindmap to compare all the advantages and disadvantages of the operating systems and devices, and I would be thankful if anyone could add some points to the map, or even clarify things if I have missunderstood something.

http:/ /img508.imageshack.us/img508/2671/bildschirmfoto20101024u.jpg

(You have to delete the space after http, since new users can't post links somehow :/ )

My Priorities are on the following points:

- design

- smoothness of the whole user experience

- tethering

- customization

- adding music/movie/picture content from mac os x (since all contact/calendar information is now synced in the cloud)

And while I don't yet understand what the difference between the 2 billion different firmwares presented on this site is, I think I could work myself into the whole topic, and flash my device (E.g. to make the Galaxy S smoother).

Thanks in advance,

Smirny

P.S.: Note that this Mindmap represents my own thinking of what is an advantage and what is not. E.g. I put the App Store thing as a negative of the iPhone, since there are just primitive apps and no system-affecting apps like on cydia etc.

[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Well one of my biggest complains by far has got to be reaching my finger all the way across to the top everytime I want to use the phone. On my G1, every single one of the buttons could turn it on, and I know that on the nexus there is a hack called "trackball wake" that does precisely this. Does anyone think that they might be able to port this over? Lol and while we're on the topic of remapping buttons, how about porting the CM long press on volume rocker to skip songs?

[G2 and Desire Z General] rhodes588:
This type of thing really bothers me. You're seriously too lazy to reach up 3 inches to press the unlock button? Come on people, its a phone. Half the things on this forum are due to pure lazyness. No personal attack to you, just saying.

Other then that, no there's no app out at the moment. I'm sure cyanogen is working on it if its not done already. Probably waiting for perm root and custom recovery. Patience...
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hosermage:
I sometimes just pop the keyboard out-and-in and the screen unlocks. Especially easy since my hinge is loose... ;-(
[G2 and Desire Z General] HamNCheese:
Maybe once the phone is rooted. Otherwise, we can only wish that HTC will pull their heads out of their asses and pay attention to some of the great features coming out of the ROM community.

You know... I wouldnt mind having something like this. It'd be a little more convenient.

I wonder if Tasker can do something like this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] [hfm]:
As long as it is configurable so I don't accidentally unlock the screen in my pocket and uselessly waste battery. I dunno my index finger is always sitting next to the power button when I am holding the phone, its not that hard.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Crey23:
Coming from BB....

in BB the track pad is king.....is is not about laziness...but depending on the situation....if I have it sitting on my desk it would be nice to just press the tp with a finger, as opposed to having to hold the phone with my hand in order to press the top button....
[G2 and Desire Z General] gaarry:
How is this a matter of laziness? Sure I can reach up there, but wouldn't it be much easier just to press the button? It's a matter of convenience, not laziness. Also, my case covers the power button.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
It' not a matter of lazyness, it's that it's different from the way I'm used to doing things. The whole point of android is that you can customize it however you like. I mean, according to your thinking, using a bluetooth/wifi/brightness toggle widget makes me lazy since all those settings can already be changed manually? Really?

And I know there's nothing out yet to do what I want. If you check logcat though, every time you push a button on the device you can see the output on the computer. I was hoping a more talented coder than I could help me achieve what I wanted, or at least could point me in the right direction so that I can try to figure this out on my own. Do we really need perma-root for this? It would definately help out so that we don't have to reaply it everytime, but we could make a gscript or something similar with what we have now.

[G2 and Desire Z General] gaarry:
So are you saying that all people who use the trackball to wake up their phones are lazy? Are you saying that wanting to make it easier for myself is a matter a laziness? So what do you call a TV Remote. I COULD get up a turn the TV off, or I can use the remote. Your logic is flawed, maybe you need to find something worthwhile to ***** about.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vinnyjr:
That would be a great feature. On my Nexus I use NoLock from the market. One of the main reasons I use this is because of the power button on the Nexus had a history of dying after long wear and tear. If you can take away the wear and tear on a part with a history of failing then it is a big plus.I want this feature for my G2 as well. Tried both NoLock and Widgetlocker without success. They both work on the Nexus One without root.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xspeed9190:

great idea. Thats why they did it on the nexus one....

no laziness. also because the power button broke easy on the nexus and people wanted a way to unlock their phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
The power button being on top is one of my number one things i dislike about this phone, makes it akward to turn on. So I would LOVE track pad wake. Especially since my hard case kind makes the track pad recessed a bit so it would be hard to push in my pocket.
[G2 and Desire Z General] DROITURK182:
There is a app on the market called extended controls which has a option to turn off auto lock and use any button to wake the phone up I use it in the car when listening to music, pandora, or making phone calls...
[G2 and Desire Z General] o>c:
Yup it is kind of habit, not simply laziness

I am still getting used to pressing the power key and then swipe the screen to unlock, come on! Most of the time I just turn on then shut the screen:(

When I was using my G1 with custom rom all I need to do was to press the menu button twice

Hope this thing gets sorted out soon
