no, you just need it in /sdcard
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneS429:
really? I was always under the impression the update.zip file always had to be in the root directory and then the rom has to be in the same directory as well.

Or can the update.zip be in the root ad leave the rom in /sdcard?

Edit: Lol I'm an idiot, flashing now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneS429:
Worked like a charm! I didn't do a wipe of my data although I am thinking I should do that. Now just to get rid of superuser and I'm good!

I just want to say thank you so much for everyone's help.

I have successfully gone back to a stock rom with all the att bloatware back on, removed superuser and busybox, all without the use of a usb cable!

Couldn't have done it without you guys!

Note: stop plugging things into your pc. Also, if they notice its been fried, it wont be accepted as a warranty return and you'll have to pay insurance deductable..

Just in case you weren't aware. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaneS429:
Why wouldn't that be covered under a warranty. It would look like a chip failed and was faulty hardware. I could see if I dropped it and it was all dented/cracked etc, then they could say I broke it.

How much would the deductible be?

I just really want to avoid having to pay $400 for a new phone or having to settle for some cheap $50 phone

Hello,

I'm new here, and with rooting.

I tried to root my htc dream first, but i failed haha,

So now i have the HTC Leo HD2.

Im really happy with it, but i miss the apps of android.

So i wanted to root from windows mobile into android 2.2

So i rooted and opened the files, and when it boots up it gives much codes, and then it says : Jumping to kernel.

It stops out there and i waited very long.

I only putted the android folder unzipped in my SD card.

But, i readed things of HSPL and the right rom ..

I don't understand those things at all.

So i hope you guys could help me..

Radio : 2.06.51.07

Rom: 1.66.404.1 (76641) NLD

Rom Date 01/14/10

Dont know if you need this but yeah..

Sorry for my english, i'm only 14 years old and from The Netherlands.

Thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] memin1857:
You need to change your radio to 2.XX.50.XX version. (2.14.50.xx is fine)

You are using the word "root" wrong. HD2 android builds are already rooted, you don't need to do anything. Just update your radio. (first flash HSPL before attempting to update radio)

HSPL from: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jayanth.M.P:
Hey guys,

I bought Galaxy S on Oct 2. In various threads I have seen people say they get 1-3 days on 3G with some gaming and all day active data connections.

In bangalore we have only EDGE(2G) and I use my phone only for calling(15-30mins) and texting(25-30) with some minimal Facebook access....I allow my battery to charge all night and start my day around 8:30 in the morning and my battery doesn't even last till midnight....its somewhere around 20% at night.

is this normal or should I visit the Samsung service center ?

Also can somebody suggest me a good site which ships additional batteries to bangalore ?. I tried spider-foot.com and their shipment has reached me even after 20 days.....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prasad:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techeretic:
when i was in india, i was a heavy SGS user and i did get through the day on a single charge.

i had push updates on for gmail, exchange mail, twitter and facebook. #i never logged in to gtalk though.

half an hour of calls and a lot of browsing....

so from 8 to 6, i would still have close to 40% battery remaining....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
The battery on the SGS has some calibration issues or I dont really know, there are times I get good battery life and times I lose 1% per hour of idle, sometimes I reboot my phone I either lose or gain anywhere from 15-30%.. pretty random.. But with 2.1 I had a constant battery life though.

Is it possible to download the official Android 2.2 rom, that for example HTC receives, and makes modifications to? I'm not interested in the rom that HTC is pushing out with all it's fancy graphics and functions, just the bare no-nonsense 2.2 Android rom.

If the above is possible, will this actually work in a Desire device, out-of-the-box?

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vokkE:
Hi!

So, I decided to have a look inside AuraxTSenses framwork-res.apk ( applied SmoothSense to it ), and found .pngs and thought that I'm gonna try editing these. And so I did, and changed my lockscreen.

Then I did some more, and then I tried to change battery icons to Super Circle Battery just by replacing the .pngs and couple of xml files, but I ended up having no battery icon at all. Then I found UltraLinx's Minimal Matte Grey, and thought man I'd like to combine this and some of SmoothSense's icons + grey Super Circle.

Now, I know what I'm doing ( and did ) is NOT the right way, I basically just extracted the files I wanted to change, and then I threw the modified files back in to the framework-res.apk , and then I threw the modified framework to SmoothSense's installing zip and flashed the zip at recovery. And I did have the nice new lock screen look, but Theme Kitchen said that the framework is basically all the way corrupted.

So now I'd like to know what I need to do in order to do this thing correctly? The Theme Kitchen said that Minimal Matte Grey's framework is corrupted too, so I guess it's no good using it as the base-framework, and add the things I'd like to it? I know I'm supposed to sign something and compile and decompile and something?

If someone can give me any advice I would be more than grateful. :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dogwoofer:
Will it be possible to mod the framework to have a thin status bar like the current one in 1.6? Or would it not be possible to downscale all the larger icons?

Thanks
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Downscaling wouldn't do the trick, unfortunately.

Today, I tried to do the opposite: the "fat" status-bar from 2.1 to 1.6.

(see here)

The status bar changed but the size was the same.

So, I guess, the size of the status-bar is controlled in some xml file in the framework.

I am sure someone will come up with a workaround,

after we update and after we acquire root access.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dk2000zx:
Can we do the oposite? Fat status bar in 1.6??
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
In the post you quoted I answered this very question...

Not possible.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] dk2000zx:
Sad lol ok thx
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
I did some digging and I think the size is in the status_bar.xml.

I tried to import it from the 2.1 framework, but my phone wouldn't start.

So, yes, definetely not possible with simple copy-paste. :(

Luckily, the 2.1 update is close!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] h3llg0d:
i think it's possible...

if change the true size is not possible, you can always make a thin bar and the rest of size put transparent
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
That wouldn't look right actually...

The icons would still be big and overlapping the bar, so nope.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PoTi_96:
i will try to make it thin today... =D
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
But it's already thin... Unless you have installed 2.1 already!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PoTi_96:
but not for 1.6...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] iridaki:
Ok, let me get this straight:

On 1.6 the statusbar is thin.

On 2.1 the statusbar is fat, meaning bigger, wider than the one in 1.6.

:)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PoTi_96:
ahh....

WTH?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] h3llg0d:
we are talking about the bar...

if he want make a thin bar, he has to do small icons.

And you can do same that i said to the icons, so it seems to be possible...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] kbadone:
I really don't like how the icons and the status bar got bigger in 2.1, it would be nice if we can change it back to 1.6 style after updating to 2.1
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] PoTi_96:
i think its possible but first of all lets get 2.1

I did not realize gorrila glass was easily scratchable. I see youtube videos of people taking nails and screws to it without a single scratch but after this Im a bit worried not using a SP. Thanks for the info though.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
No clue how you got those scratches, but thank you for a VERY good post. I'll be sure and add this to the sticky a bit later. Great job with the post man, really helpful.

Still confused about the scratches... I ALWAYS carried my plastic swipe card with my phone, no issues... ever.
[Vibrant General] Obi_Kwiet:
The only way I can see that happening is that I got some grit in-between the phone and the card, and it rubbed. After my experience with the sandpaper, I can safely say that there is no possible way that plastic could do that. Still there's no way around it, I put the phone in my pocket with the card, and 20 minutes later, scratches.

I was at a natural park, so it's very possible that some sand, or something a bit harder than you would normally encounter got in there, but sooner or later it certainly can happen.
[Vibrant General] w1bmw:
scratch repair

Nasty!

This is the first phone I've ever used a screen protector for and I put it on at the store when I unboxed the phone. It wasn't a day before I dropped the phone and was so very glad I'd put the protector on.

Regarding the buffing, I've had good luck getting scratches off the iPod touch with good old fashioned toothpaste and a finger. I'd be terrified to take a wheel to it with the amount of heat those things can generate.

Thanks for posting!
[Vibrant General] Obi_Kwiet:
Yes the heat is a good point. I had to be careful about that. I'll note that in the OP.

Tooth paste and a finger will not touch this glass. It's just far, far too hard.
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
It all depends on how it happens.

As you can see from the OPs suffering, he had a hard time with sandpaper! Yet, something that happened to be in his pocket scratched it up something fierce.

Moral of the story, get a screen protector, you'll be the 1/10000 that manages to scratch his screen if you don't.

Also, OP...THANK YOU very much for this post. I might have to do this for my girlfriend, she scratched her screen on her earrings before we got the screen protector put on.

I'll pay the $160 before I put on a screen protector. Actually, I *did* pay the $160 already. Ha ha. I dropped my Vibrant on cement about two days after owning it and massively cracked the screen. If I get a light scratch then I can live with it but if it's like yours looked in the original post, I would pay the $160. Meanwhile I keep it in a pouch when it's in my pocket.
[Vibrant General] oka1:
Excellent post

Excellent post

Not sure how the scratches were so deep unusual. Anyway, if people are interested in this kind of fix you can go to a gem stone supply and get the polishing compounds that are graduated (fine to finest) and use these. The fine will cut more and take the large defects and then move to finer and then finer. Remember the heat issue always check the surface and make sure it never gets too hot to touch.

Excellent post
[Vibrant General] MidShipRunabout2:
I believe Ghost Armor should be a top priority for us Vibrant owners. I am a Ghost Armor employee. Do your research. It would of protected your phone from ever getting any scratches. Plus it also helps from impacts. Dropped my vibrant face down on tile and its still spotless. $25 for a full body wrap is a great deal.. especially with a lifetime warranty! PM me for more details.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:
Maybe you can get us a huge discount, oh like maybe 50% or more off the price :)
[Vibrant General] tjhart85:
The girlfriend & I have both done that WITHOUT ghost armor and had no scratches.

And how is a thin piece of plastic going to help with impacts? It might help with the side effects of impacts (you know getting scratched while hitting the ground), but it's not going to be enough to cushion the impact itself any noticeable amount.

You might want to run some things by your legal dept. before you start acting as spokesman.

I've also read that while the GA is great as a SP, as a full body cover, it seems to peel after a few months of normal use.
[Vibrant General] JeremyNT:
Wow, very nice work man. No way would I have had the patience for that :)
[Vibrant General] MidShipRunabout2:
If a group interest is made I could see what I could do.
[Vibrant General] MidShipRunabout2:
I love how you call it a thin piece of plastic. It's actually polyurethane, which is a pretty sturdy material. Please dont tell me you believe a hard case is necessary for your phone.. Please amuse me.. :)

I am a sales person that stands by my product.

It will peel depending on your usage of the phone.. Thats why we offer a lifetime warranty.. :)

Any more questions?
[Vibrant General] kuhan:
But Will it Blend?

I did this as soon as the Ghost Armor kiosk at my mall got the Vibrant protector. It took them almost 2 weeks after I got my Vibrant for them to get it in. I had to go naked for TWO WHOLE WEEKS.

Back when I first got my iPhone (3 years ago) I got the InvisibleShield, but I prefer Ghost Armor, because firstly, it doesn't get that yellow discoloration, and secondly, with the kiosk at the mall, I don't have to worry about improper installation. The top part of my Vibrant got all messed up (some lint got in there and then it spread) and the guy at the Ghost Armor kiosk just replaced it for free! (Of course, there'd be an installation fee if I wanted to replace the whole screen part or the full body, but still!) My friend also got Ghost Armor on his iPhone 3G and it saved his screen from breaking into a million pieces when he dropped it on a rock (It still cracked though.)

If you don't want to take it from an employee, take it from a satisfied customer. Encase your Vibrant in Ghost Armor ASAP!
[Vibrant General] psikys:
So let me start off with this. I own a full body wrap for my Vibrant from GA. I took off the screen protector and the body just slowly peeled off. Having that said, I like the product. I have some concerns however. Ghost touches. When I had the GA screen protector on, after heavy use of the phone (voice conversations), it appeared that the ghost armor "heated up" and became kind of soft. This is when I would get ghost touches. Meaning I could touch the c button in portrait mode and p would actually press instead. I merely use c and p as placeholders for any random character or button but you get the point.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant running Axura 1.0 FroYo
[Vibrant General] MidShipRunabout2:
Happy to see customers like this. I previously had an iPhone 3GS before the vibrant and that was fully ghost armored as well. Thats when I saw how amazing this product was, this was even before I started working for GA. My iPhone always fell at parties and the screen never seemed to break. AMAZING!

Thats weird. Ive never had that issue, but yet again ive never used my phone for hours. But I do know the vibrant can get a bit hot after a while. If you still have the Ghost Armor on, just stick it in the fridge for like 10 seconds next time you get off the phone...

That should solve the issue :)

A great invention would be a cooling fan for the vibrant...
