Widget Locker allows you to add any widget along with other shortcuts to your lock screen. The app is really cheap on the market and is great for adding the music widget to the lock screen. It also allows you to use the hardware buttons ie: trackpad to unlock the phone. I use my phone as my mp3 player and having to unlock just to change songs was annoying. I'll post a pic in a bit.

You can also set the screen time out while on the lock screen independent of the system timeout.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyath:
I'm developing a media player called Kino specifically to be used in the car and on the go.

It has some neat features, such as double tapping the device itself (not the screen, the device!) to pause and play (it's helpful when the device is in your pocket, and you don't want to take it out to pause)

And other cool features are doing back\forward by swiping your fingers on the screen, that way you can switch songs in the car when the phone is mounted without taking your eyes off the road.

It also fetches art from last.fm

Anyhow it's VERY early beta... still working on key features and optimizations but if you wanna give it a whirl and report bugs, I'd appreciate it :)

seems like I can't post link to it because I'm a new user.. but search for kinoplayer on google code
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ilikepu:
thats pretty awesome i would love to try that
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramainli:
Does anyone here have a radio with usb input? I have a Kenwood that takes usb drives loaded with mp3s. I've used it to play mp3s from my phone with no problem but was wondering if there was anyway to stream Pandora through the USB port so it plays through the car speakers.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyath:
ramainli: I also have a kenwood unit, specificially the kdc-X791 however it treats the phone as a general storage device, so it can only access files on the device and not any of it's functions or programs.

I think the best solution would be using a car audio unit with A2DP support, that way you just pair up your device with the unit via BT and stream all your audio without any cables. Preferably such a unit could have a mic input, and then you could use the car audio system as a call handsfree solution as well

Does anybody know\can recommend such unit?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ramainli:
I actually have the same unit as you. I believe that this unit has a bluetooth support unit but it's ridiculously overpriced.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starkruzr:
This is the setup I have. I have a Sony unit with Bluetooth A2DP support. Works great. Even some of the faceplate controls (pause/play, ffwd, rwd) work because Android supports AVRCP. AFAICT, though, those AVRCP controls only work in the stock app, so I just use that. Looking forward to CyanogenMod's tweaked-out, awesome Music app :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vyath:
I've mailed Kenwood regarding our unit. Seems like the KDC-X791 supports the KCA-BT200 but as you mentioned it's quite costly. I think I'll go ahead and get one anyhow, as the BT solution seems far more elegant than the setup I currently have.

They confirm it supports A2DP and AVRCP, so as soon as I have it for testing I'll be able to program in AVRCP support for my kino player, and probably some other cool functions :)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
This is the latest update as of today.. All models of xperia x10 will be recieveing the update except the Mini (E10i)...in the coming days

Proof-

Here are the list of PTCRB certified devices for 2.1

X10 mini

x8

X10 mini pro

BUMMER :(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] sanjay_bandaru:
oh god are yu serious....?????????:(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
That's what it looks like. 2.1 still not certified for mini ... that's the reason why they don't have any video of the mini itself running eclair on the product blog of Sony.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] omergh:
i hate sony ericsson they are making so fine phones but their after sell support is so so so bad why do they do this i dont understand
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] pabling19:
That sucks cause it's the mini's page where the mysterious 'easter egg' appeared
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] r420rr420r:
So x8 got 2.1, not mini?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Contrarian:
I do think you're misleading people man. Nobody said the X10 mini isn't getting the update - just that it will be late.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] siddharthsai:
try flashing the pro ROM on mini...and see what happens for yourself
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] cyrilsouhaut:
It's strange, i have speack about the Mini/Mini Pro update with the "SE FacebookPage Manager" and he don't have the same word..

This man explain to me the "difference" betwin Mini and "normal" 2.1 update..

If the mini does'nt have an update.. it's can't have any difference no ?

Sorry for my very bad english..
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] darfito:
Let's see... i don't mean exactly the same ROM, but it's the same phone with a fisic KB, so, it has no sense an update to mini pro (wich has more features, i mean the KB), and no update to mini (wich is the mini pro basis!)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] tb5...:
e-fused ??

i got a bell

I9000UGJG9

will this work for me...

does the lag fix have to be removed?

and how about if it's rooted?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stinger32:
you are my new hero if this works I'v allready bricked my phone twice with the other solution.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
Here is how to check if the PBL is good or not for SBL update:

Download the XVI32 Hex Editor

Dump your BML1 block (rooted phone needed):

Open a new command prompt and type:

1. adb shell

2. su (a superuser request will be displayed on the phone screen, accept it).

3. dd if=/dev/block/bml1 of=/sdcard/bml1.dump

The dump will be copied to the root of the internal SD card.

Open the bml1.dump file with XVI32.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
.. just take a leap of faith and post the results :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] stinger32:
Hehe I wonder what the service center will say if I show up for the third time and blame Kies again they must think I'm an complete fool. The service-center didnt manage to fix it the second time, they have sent it back to Samsung so I'm waiting for it right now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ragin:
At last, a real good working solution.

THANKS YOU.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] aureusz:
Would it be possible to adapt this method to all Phones ?

Even non e-fused phones had some bricks while flashing bootloader with Odin.

I made the mistake to flash Kies update without checking first if it was "e-fused" or not and that's what might led me into trouble (tried to flash with Kies, regedit method, no way to tell now about "efused", it's not booting at all, power button not working, Download mode combo not working.)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gzus9000:
great tool, worked flawless on my SGS, thank you RazvanG, the other methods seemed to complicated or risky for me so i decided to wait until something safe appears and here it is the safest method.

Great work, greatly appreciated!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
It *should* work on any firmware (even non e-fused).. if you want to take a leap of faith, be my guest and post the results.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cyberdamienb:
Thank you man!

And do you know if there is a technical operation to unbrick those who bricked their "orange" phones using various 3-Button Combo FiXes?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] szczeslaw:
Worked like a charm for me. Thanks a lot RazvanG :)

@aureusz

Try the method with 301K resistor (you can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819551 ).

It works, if you have working boot loader, but blocked 3 button combos (i've tested it).
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
You can force the firmware update into the phone using the JTAG port (on the PCB) or you can make a JIG Tool using a modified USB Cable (see this thread) and force the phone to enter Download Mode and then reflash using Kies or Odin3
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
So, what makes this safer than the original one?

It uses the same SBL as I did with the Redbend release.

The SBL is incompatible with some old PBL versions, so to make it safe it is required to update the PBL too.

This is the reason I use Odin to flash PBL & SBL.

So this is identical with my GT-I9000_SBL_RCVDL_FIX_REDBEND.7z (released 9/19/2010).

I do not recommend using either of these versions as the PBL-SBL updater (Odin method) has proven to be alot safer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] manosv:
Yea right...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
This method is 110% safe for the eFuesed terminals (tested on many phones from Orange Romania before releasing).

The Odin3 method that you provide, updates both the PBL and the SBL, and sometimes fails resulting a brick.

<ID:0/003> Please wait..

<ID:0/003> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<ID:0/003> Leave CS..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/003> Initialzation..

<ID:0/003> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/003> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/003> boot.bin

<ID:0/003> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

You say that: If Odin gives a error it is a driver issue or you did not follow the instructions.. but a brick is a brick and the phone needs JTAG to recover or a home-made JIG (soldering skills)

I know many guys who bricked their phones using your latest (so called safer) method and had to send the phone back to Samsung for flashing. I only provided a fix for those who don't want to take that risk.

Thank you for providing at some point a SBL. It helped a lot :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
Can you elaborate a bit?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Richthofen:
True, but this version of the SBL has also been producing bricks with phones with E-Fused PBL´s. I don´t know why would it be different this time.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] manosv:
I am one of them
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
I'll reconsider this FiX after someone using an eFused phone gets a brick following my tutorial, but for now .. 110% success rate :)

Thank you once again
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
This FiX is permanent, yes :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] massari90:

.. next time just post the dump and I'll take a look at it before you attempt any patching :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] flyblade:
Hello,

Could you please help me to check if I can apply your patch?

I have little knowledge about it.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
OFNI ×0 D

The original FiX WILL NOT work since your PBL (boot.bin) is x0 !!!!

.. but you can always try the new EXPERIMENTAL solution posted on 17.NOV and post back the results. but be warned: IT MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE !!

// RAZ-FiX-SGS-x0

// UPDATE 17.NOV.2010

// HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL !!

// THIS MAY BRICK YOUR PHONE !!

ONLY those with a "bad" PBL dump (x0) willing to take a leap of faith and test the latest 3-Button Combo FiX (17.NOV.2010), can download RAZ-FiX-SGS-x0.zip and place the file to the root of the INTERNAL phone's memory, then rename it to: Update.zip

Next, just follow the original tutorial starting with Step 1.2 and post the results.

Thank you !
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] AR166TI:
Hello RazvanG

I got the same problem. I'm on Froyo 2.2, does this mean, it's not possible to apply your fix on my SGS?

Thanks for a short reply!

AR166TI
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
Not if you don't install 2e recovery (instead of the default Froyo 3e).

There are guides in this section on how to do this. (or ready-made kernels)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ehe12:
mate, I would suggest you to modify your tittle. It's quite confusing that people would thought this can apply to any model. I just bricked my phone. Luckily I called and will get a replacement tomorrow...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lorse:
I have a little question:

When I install a diferent roms (that are not for my country and include a similar sbl.bin your fix), always installed in BML5

On the other hand, if I install a rom for my country.

always installed in BML4

That? why? determines where install the sbl.bin.

Hello,

I can I have a rooted phone if I want the 3 button combo working to root it with GALAXY S TWEAKER?? :( Is there another way to root the phone?

My Galaxy is international, PDA i9000XWJm2, Phone i9000XXJm1, CSC i9000OXXJm1. Do I realy need to check if my phone is "e-fused"?

Where should I download it? PC? Inside the phone? :confused:

Phone´s Menu? Ham?! Is it about recovery mode? My phone doesnt go to recovery mode neither!!!

Sorry about the newbie questions, but I didnot find these so beginner answers!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
It is confusing as long as you can't read proper English.

You bricked because you haven't checked your dump before flashing the FiX
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
BML4 is the Sbl.bin

BML5 is the bootloader's backup
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
You MUST root and check the dump before applying the fix or else you risk to brick your phone. Not for the eFused line, but for the !@ block.

Read the 1st post !!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pedrolopes665:
Ive read. Several times, indeed. The "efused" thing I had read in the second page, but forget about it, you probably have updated the first post.

But how can I root my SGS without recovery/download mode working?!

I dont want to flash my phone now (only when the oficial version comes with Kies). I just wanna root and apply the voodoo lagfix.

I really appreciate your help. Tks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] massari90:
Thank you :D I will give this a go soon =]
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Lorse:
Thanks for your answer

Are you sure about that,

I think that is the sbl.bin bacukp .

For me the fix to directly rule bml5.

May be, for which i have enabled the buttons

Edit: I sent you a PM with an automated system to apply the fix
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Tyxerakias:
You connect your phone to your PC and you do it from there, using ADB. Google ADB for android.... the second file contains adb, and you download it on your pc, not your phone.

Use this method to root your phone, it works fine with your firmware.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ehe12:
yes, sorry that I miss understood. but you stated it as 110% safe and I thought the dump checking was for previous method, not for the latest 110% safe method...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] presmanno:
Could you please link one of the guides (it's not easy to find one, or at least I could not find one).

Thank you
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] RazvanG:
As of today, 19.NOV.2010 this FiX is 110% SAFE and Compatible with ALL available Firmwares.
