[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markfiasco:
Tried to replace the lock screen using the MOD from the 'JI6 MODS' thread,

and now my phone is stuck at the Att world phone screen.

I can reboot into recovery, but that doesn't help me. When I try to reinstall packages it says:

'E: failed to open /mnt/internal_sd/update.zip (no such file or directory)

E: signature verification failed.

Installation aborted. '

I tried to push the update.zip file it needs to my internal sd, but it said permission denied.

Sometimes I can access my phone via ADB but it's only for a few moments while its loading the 'ATT world phone' screen but not for very long. I tried to push the original odex file to /system/framework/ but got permission denied.

I can get into download mode but when in Odin it always fails during file analysis. :mad:

I thought for sure that Odin would be able to fix this, but no luck.

My phone was running

Froyo JI6 rooted, no lag fix or anything. The only MOD I was running was Fightspits circle battery MOD.

Does anyone know anything I could try? I'm at the point where i'd try just about anything..

Please and Thank you!

Wrong section. topost your question
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMaginator:
Put your phone into download mode (open the ODIN one click to stock, remove battery, remove SIM, replace battery,hold down both volume buttons, plug phone into usb while still holding volume keys, wait for the pic of an android with shovel to appear on the phones screen, click start) this should put you back to stock.

Its seems though that you might a kernel issue. You might just want to put phone into download mode and using the standard ODIN flash xcalibers reoriented kernel with 2e recovery.

The message you are getting in recovery is because you have the standard froyo kernel wich does not support self-signed .zip files.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markfiasco:
Thanks for the reply maginator!

I actually got home from work today and my roomate had it fixed.

He booted into recovery then cleared the cache and user data, and THEN

used odin to flash it back to stock 2.1 :D

Very happy to have my cappy back!

Yeah i got the same problem but mine wont go into download mode i get the att world phone, then the att wold phone again and then it goes into recovery <2a>....any advice could really use it.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
Attached please find a deodexed version of the Browser.apk from the Mesmerize system dump. IOW, no BING! The homepage *may* default to the US Cellular page, but, NO BING!

If you get FC's then either wipe /data/dalvik-cache or clear the Browser data from Settings>Manage Applications.

Enjoy!

EDIT: added update.zip instead for ease of installation. Install with clockworkmod recovery or rom manager

EDIT2: added new Browser_nobing_2.zip that will remove the existing Browser.odex. Now compatible with non-deodexed systems :)
[Fascinate Android Development] adiliyo:

[Fascinate Android Development] Droid2Fascinate:
What am I missing? Is this supposed to eliminate bing coming up while already in the browser and using the soft key search button? I still get Bing.
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
No, if you search via the browser address bar it will use google instead of bing.
[Fascinate Android Development] Droid2Fascinate:
Isnt that essentially the same thing? Either way I still get bing. Is there something else other than applying this zip via CWM?
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
I was just reading up on exactly what odex/deodex means and am still a bit confused. But OP, why did you have to mention that the apk is deodexed? I'm just wondering what that was supposed to indicate to anyone wanting to install this APK.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
For google search using the search soft key, search xda for GoogleEnhancedSearch.apk
[Fascinate Android Development] capngalaxy:
Worked for me. Running clean DIO1 0.3 rom. No lag fix.

Thank you so much!
[Fascinate Android Development] Zennmaster:
If you're running a de-odexed ROM, you'll need to push a de-odexed version of the app. Conversely, if you're running an odexed ROM, you'll need the odexed version of the app.

That's the short version for this topic. Google will find you all kinds of info on de-odexing.
[Fascinate Android Development] voghan:
I'm running a stock rom, flashed via cm and still have Bing when searching via browser address bar.
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
It does give me all sorts of info, but very confusing. From my understanding of what I read if the app is deodexed it should run anywhere since odex file contains target-platform specific optimizations. I am running a rooted stock image. And I can install this apk but I still get bing search in the browser but not sure how that would be related to odex/deodex since it runs.
[Fascinate Android Development] emarx429:
Jt to the rescue again... thanx man!
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
You are correct. The poster you quoted is incorrect. You do not need anything special to run a deodexed .apk.
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
Working fine for me, soft key and all. Thanks.
[Fascinate Android Development] Flipsoul:
Works great.

Couldn't get it to work until I decided to deodex my system. (would still see bing from url bar prior to deodexing)
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
Doesn't change anything relating to "soft key".
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
I can run it but I still get bing search in the browser.
[Fascinate Android Development] ibegary:
For those with odex system. You can use the browser.apk but you will need to remove or backup your Browser.odex, delete /data/dalvik-cache/* and then reboot.

This should let you use the de-odex version without having a full de-odex ROM. Worked for me with the Contacts.apk, CarHome.apk and this Browser.apk.
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
You sir, are right on. Thanks. Can anyone explain how having the odex file still there caused the new browser to still search via Bing? I'm an kernel developer so out of my realm here.
[Fascinate Android Development] woshi:
This is awesome, thanks to you and OP!
[Fascinate Android Development] suppliesidejesus:
The search button is a soft key. The point of this browser is that, if running a deodexed ROM, that hitting the Search soft key while in the browser will run a Google search and not a Bing search.

So yeah, kinda does change something related to a "soft Key" without really trying to.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
On a stock app (apk + odex), the apk contains all the app's resources like xml, png images and such, whereas the odex contains the actual compiled java code. So, if you replace JUST the apk, you're not affecting the actual behavior of application, just the look/layout of it (if anything was changed).

Deodexing de-optimizes the dex (allowing for greater portability) and combines both files together, so it's easier to distribute, theme and such.
[Fascinate Android Development] justinjbaron:
I don't have a deodexed phone.

The apk works great but removed the browser from the primary/bottom dock. There is now a space between the contacts and messaging icons and the browser is simply sitting in the app drawer.Anyone know how I can get the icon back?
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
I'm guessing you're running the stock TouchWiz launcher?

Go to Settings > Manage Applications and clear data for TWLauncher (beware, I *believe* this will also reset your home screen layout).
[Fascinate Android Development] ehasley:
Okay, so I can't get this to work right. I've tried wiping cache and dalvik through cwm and no change. I've tried wiping browser cache and data in both applications and titanium backup.

The address bar still routes me to VZW and Bing. How can I fix this or reflash the stock browser.

EDIT: I am using stock tw rom with voodoo and oc
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
rm /system/app/Browser.odex

for an explanation, see post 40 :)
[Fascinate Android Development] ehasley:
I am assuming that I can do this through root explorer. Sorry for the noon question, but what exactly is the file path.

Thanks for the help.
[Fascinate Android Development] voghan:
Finally got this to work on mine. Flashing the zip didn't work for me. I had to extract the browser.apk file, move my existing apk and odex files to the SD card, copy the new browser.apk to the /system/app folder then reboot. Now Bing is gone from my phone!
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
it's /system/app/Browser.odex (didn't I say that already :p )

and yes you can use root explorer

I'll update the op shortly with a version that nukes the odex also
[Fascinate Android Development] ehasley:
Thanks so much. I moved the file to my card just in case I needed it. Now just reboot?

EDIT: Does anyone else have a weird bar under that address bar when the page is loading. It goes from blue to black to blue.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
yes

updated OP with new version that will nuke the odex for ya :)
[Fascinate Android Development] phonefiend:
Thanks, really appreciate it. Awesome work with this!
[Fascinate Android Development] kvaughan:
I do. Quite annoying. Also now the address box is gray, not a huge deal just preferred white.
[Fascinate Android Development] modus81:
Update file worked great. Thanks!
[Fascinate Android Development] ivorycruncher:
Using Root Explorer, I added .old to Browser.apk and Browser.odex in /system/app, extracted the Browser.apk from the zip file, and copied into /system/app. I then loaded the browser and confirmed that it uses Google for the softkey search. No reboot or cache cleaning was necessary. Of course, I don't use the stock browser, but it's nice to know that Bing is finally, truly gone from my phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] sonar_chris:
Thanks for this, worked great for me.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
As always nice work jt
[Fascinate Android Development] dustinface:
All I've gotta say is thanks, jt.
[Fascinate Android Development] hindustani8:
I followed the instructions and it worked. thanks
[Fascinate Android Development] soba49:
For Touch Wiz 3, just go to the applications screen, menu button, edit. From there you can remove apps from your primary dock and drag any app to it (including Browser)
[Fascinate Android Development] tonu42:
Thank you op!
[Fascinate Android Development] Kamar234:
Not sure if anyone else has this, but I am getting a wierd blacked out address bar when I install this browser to djo5.
[Fascinate Android Development] Adr0it:
You should try Flipsoul's clean Browser.apk which is in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831519

The address bar is fixed up all nicely and it gets rid of the VZW bookmarks & Bing.
[Fascinate Android Development] Flipsoul:
Last, I knew, with dj05 this was a general problem with the stock browser.

Best to check if any further development has happened via irc.

When I was looking at the code of various mods out there, I couldn't see anything that pointed to why the url bar bg would be so dark.
[Fascinate Android Development] s44:
Look for the "bugless browser" thread.
[Fascinate Android Development] atrich0608:
I use JT's DJ05 Voodoo5 Kernel and his Super Clean ROM.

I can confirm that searches are completed with Google. It does have the big ass ugly bar but I would take that over Bing any day.
[Fascinate Android Development] dizzle45fasho:
Google love

So after using this zip im getting google as my default search dude ur awesome
[Fascinate Android Development] ehasley:
I've tried this browser and the other two listed on this page. I can't get rid of the blacked out address bar.

Any suggestions
[Fascinate Android Development] thestoffer:
Is there any way to remove this? It didn't really work the way I intended. Yes, the browser itself will now search via google, but the address bar is huge. Also, if I search from the search button on my device, it still goes to Bing.

Was your battery low during the RUU you did?

Also, by recovery do me you mean hboot? Can you get to hboot?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpnew:
it probably was low, yes. and by recovery i do mean hboot. i can't get to anything at this point, like i said, it vibrates, but the screen itself won't come on, so i have no idea if its doing anything
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrewGL:
Hmm... That's a wierd one I have no idea- Usually the deal is if you can get to Hboot, you can figure something out, but the screen is not turning on... No idea man sorry =(

Hope someone else can help you-

well thank you for the interest, i'm really hoping someone can figure it out!

People really need to read and pay attention to what they are flashing. Sounds like you went back to 2.1 which the Slcd was never meant for thus your current screen issue. The phone is turning on but the drivers for the display are not there.

http://androidforums.com/incredible-all-things-root/208403-just-rooted-having-problems-recovery.html

This kid did the same thing. You can try, like he did, to flash the correct ruu through hboot but without seeing the screen. You'll have to us timing and hope it works out. If you would like to try this....

I have this same problem, no screen so I cant see what Im doing. What worked for you?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] linuxmotion:
If you have an slcd screen there are extra steps you need to take to get both clockwork and any rom to work. I believe a kernel flash will allow to boot the roms. Which kernel. Idk but it needs contain the slcd driver to work.

Is your an slcd?

Hey all,

Just curious what the difference is between vanilla android and the one by cmod. I know they are both similar to the stock android OS but did not understand anything more than that. Can someone please elaborate?

Thank you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
not development related, please move to Q&A or General.

CyanogenMod is based on AOSP. AOSP = Android Open Source Project (android as google designed it). CyanogenMod makes improvements and changes and tweaks to AOSP.

it's all down to preference, but most people agree CM is an improved version of AOSP.
[Droid X General] TheSonicEmerald:
I have an upgrade due in November and want to get a good phone that could supply my needs for the next year. I'm looking at the Droid X and the Samsung Fascinate and wanted to ask those with Droid X if the real life performance is good. I want to know:

1. Is opening applications and exiting applications fast?

2. Is there any significant lag during day to day use?

3. Is the GPU good enough to produce smooth gameplay on 3D games such as Angry Birds, NFS Shift, or other demanding games?

I just want to know if the Droid X is good enough to be my next phone (my current one is the Eris).

Sent from Eris with Froyo
[Droid X General] Cobra302:
i cant speak specifically for the fascinate, but i have used the captivate before switching to the droid x.

1. there is terrible lag on the captivate in some applications. unlocking the phone, and even just answering a phone call gave me terrible lag. there are lag fixes, but you have to root to use them.

2. see #1

3. i think that the galaxy s units have a superior gpu, but i have had no issues whatsoever playing any of the games that you mentioned at all.

i have been completly happy with my x, and to me its much better than the galaxy s line of phones. the galaxy's have better screens, but thats about where it ends. good luck!:)
[Droid X General] conradd:
I can't speak on behalf on the fascinate but I can tell you that the droid x tends to be a bit laggy when performing regular tasks like scrolling through apps and screens. As for everything else it's amazing. No lag with games, speedy browsing, and amazing pictures. It would be the best phone ever made IMO if the lag was fixed.
[Droid X General] bgs_piece:
I have both of these phones and the one I use 99% of the time is the Droid x. I have 2 numbers and have all calls from the samsung line forwarded to the droid x line. The x is built better; the samsung is mostly plastic and feels cheap. The x has 4 times the onboard memory; 8 gb to 2 gb. The x has a larger screen; the samsung has a nicer looking screen. The samsung is a google phone with microsoft software; that makes alot of sense??? The samsung is definately more "laggy" than the x. The x seems to get better reception. The x has 3 more megapixels in the camera. I'm not saying the samsung is a bad phone; if I had never tried the x I would be more than happy with it. Especially coming from an eris, I think you'll be happy with either one of them. Oh, your hand size might pay a role in the decision as well. Some people can't hold the x with one hand and touch anywhere on the screen. I don't have this problem, but I could see how it would be annoying. I hope that helps. :)

Thanks for these tips! I'm pretty sure this will be my next phone now, unless Verizon comes out with something mindblowing.

The HTC Merge is coming next mid-month...
[Droid X General] jaskru:
Might be worth it to wait a month or two to see what else comes out.

The x is a pretty good phone to go with minus the locked bootloader.

LTE and a front facing camera would be sweet to see. Those two things in addition to current features of the x would be the perfect phone in my opinion. Still waiting for the double rainbow of phones though.
[Droid X General] Cobra302:
you could wait, but as fast as phones are coming out, you would always be waiting for whatever was new. i say get what you want now. it'll be outdated in a month anyway regardless of what you get! :D
[Droid X General] TheSonicEmerald:
True, true.
[Droid X General] rlacsamana1989:
Before anything, Go into a corporate store and ask to play around with both phones, most sales reps have the droid x or the fascinate as their personal phone and they will let you use them.

with that being said. I bought the Samsung Fascinate first and brought it back a week later to get the Droid X. Fascinate has a GREAT battery life compared to the droid X.

Reason I did this is not because the phone is not a good phone it is because the phone has some thing integrated that I did not like.

1) Bing is every where on the phone, so you must tweak it to where you can use google via an app on the home screen instead of a search bar ( some of us don't mind but I did.

2)On the car dock the default navigation system to use is VZNavigator which is run by BING and you must subscribe to it, so again to use google maps which is free btw you must use another short cut key.

These are the two biggest things I did not like on this phone. Other than those two things the phone has a beautiful screen and the camera quality is equal to greater than the Droid X, but without a case for the phone the phone feels very light and cheap.

Droid X has some issues of its own but nothing a little rooting can't help. When I had the stock Droid X I had a few freeze ups and lag but haven't had it happen since I rooted and did a few other tweaks.

Issues

1)Camera even though is 8MP is not the best but still does the job.

2)Do not know if this is a 2.2 issue or not but when you record video and then try to play it back on say a computer the audio gets messed up and has a delay

3)Battery life doesn't do to well

Other than those are minor ones and they can be fixed in time but you should also wait to see what they have coming out when they roll out LTE Network because I have seen a few I would love to get my hands on already.
[Droid X General] stevemoffler:
I can't say anything about the fascinate but I have no major complaints about my x I mean sometimes the camera takes grainy pictures, but that's about it I've never had a freeze or anything of the sort im runnig completely stock 2.2 ota im always running live wallpapers and the battery lastes me 12-15 hours and that's with wifi use and emailing facebooking testing calling. Heavy use lol

The only thing that mainly depletes my batery is pandora when I have it hooked up in my car but that still takes 6-8 hours to kill it.
[Droid X General] StDevious:
it's because of the default Blur software. After I removed bloat and installed launcher pro, the phone is as smooth as butter with 100 MB free memory
