Well the word "perfected" refers to the ability to get unrestricted access to the nand (the storage of the device). With a perfected spl, you have no access to nand + others important instructions. Which means that you cannot flash/erase any of the fun partitions, e.g. spl, radio or recovery. Nor can you flash/erase system, boot ect...

On some non-perfected spl, you had the restriction of the above, but you could load("boot") your images and therefore easily boot a custom recovery and do whatever you wanted.

With perfected spl the option of booting an img is not there.

On some devices, like the magic, we have engineering spl, which ignores the s-off flag. S-on/s-off refers to "security" off/on. With security off you have unrestricted access to the nand.

On some other devices, you have modified spl/hboot, E.g. The Desire device.

Their hboot will simply ignore the s-off flag and give you unrestricted access on the nand + the other fun commands, e.g erase and boot.

Now you aske, Ignore the s-off flag???

Yes, the s-off flag (called "secuflag" ) is actually set in something called Radio NVRAM.

This operate in a lower level then the radio image you flash.

The non + perfected spl reads this flag and behaves accordingly.

The modified hboot + eng hboot simply ignores it.

Going back to the magic device.

As long we can get root on the system, we can flash our own custom recovery. From the custom recovery we can flash the eng spl. And wooooot... we have unrestricted access to nand.

Remember, that the spl, radio and system all are simply partitions on the nand. With root we can flash what ever we want.

The only problem can be, if the 2.2 update has a radio img that do not play nicely with the current eng spl. But will still be able to load a custom recovery wit root access... so the option to flash custom roms will always be there if we can get root on the system.

Last i checked, the android 2.2 is no problem to root using a special exploid.

So don't worry... all is good :0)

Applying a sappimg, is a feature built in all spl. You can ALWAYS flash a sappimg.zip from fastboot if you have same cid nr as the sappimg.zip and the main-version of the phone is the same or lower of what you are trying to flash!

So don't worry :0)

What is goldcard used for?

A good question. Goldcards are used to skip the CID check. E.g. my nordic magic with cid HTC-Y13 can flash the Rogers update with CID ROGER001.

But still, the main-version check still applies :0)

No more knowledge from me today... my hands hurts
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] Phateless:
Wow, thank you very much for the prompt and extremely detailed reply! That's exactly what I needed to know.

So since it's already been verified that the superoneclick root method works on mt3g with ota 2.2, I'll be fine if I decide I'm not happy.

Cool, that's what I needed to know.

Ok, I have to ask - what exactly does "deodex" mean? I keep seeing the term but no explanation for it anywhere....
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lul33:
hey,

10 sec search in google....

Apk files have respective odexes that devs use to supposedly save space. Deodexing means you convert it back to a .dex file and put it back inside the apk. This allows you to easily replace files (not having to worry about odexes), but the main point was to deodex services.jar so that you can change all text to different colors (such as the clock color to white) and to deodex services.jar, you need to deodex everything.

Hi there,

I'm planning on getting a WP7 device when they become available in Canada.

I thought it would be great to hear from people on their initial setup experiences, in terms of things they did to get the phone how they liked it, whether its contacts, photos, music, etc and hear if they would do anything different again, or would recommend as a 'must-do' to others.

cheers!

I'm trying on my work comp and it's says un known hardware... Is it fusion?. Im on mass storage

Vibrant Bionix
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ELStiko:
running fusion here..

This has happened only on my work computer and not my laptop at home.

go to settings / applications / development and turn off USB debugging. Then go to USB settings and set it to ASk On connection. Turn USB Debugging back on.

Now when you plug in it is gonna ask you how you want to connect. I believe you select mass storage and your computer should recognize. Then you mount your SD to your computer.

This is what I did to get it to connect to my work computer. Afterwards i reverted my settings back to normal and my phone connects to my laptop.

Hope that works.

Hi All,

Is Samsung the only Android phone manufacturer (beside Google) release the kernel, open source it?

As I know Motorola doesn't (or just the bootloader?)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_Double:
All manufacturers have to release it. Motorola uses certificates to sign them, these certificates don't have to be opensourced.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xan:
All of them need to release sources because all Android builds are built around Linux kernel, which is licensed GPLv2.

nope. i had both installed to play with them and see which one i liked better. I ended up going back to Sense in the end.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robi-K:
Hy guys. I'm trying to create a theme for my phone and wondered could anyone upload the nexus 1's stock unmodified framework-res.apk?

Thanks in advance.

Tryed allready the search button and google to no avail.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
How about starting with the fact that there is no "stock", you need to define the OS version / build? Specifically, it was originally shipped with ERD79, upgraded to ERE27, then Froyo came and it was FRF91, and now it's 2.2.1, FRG83. What is "stock"?

When you answer that question, why don't you visit my signature, download ROM of your choice from there, and extract the framework-res.apk out of it? It might take less time than waiting for someone to do it, especially that most people that are capable of doing it and have their phone rooted, run custom ROMs...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp1783:
Alternatively, you could just get it from your phone.....

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Touche
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robi-K:
First off thank you for answering. Second why all the "attack".

I'll refrase my question:

I would like, if I don't disturb you, an unmodified froyo stock version framework-res.apk.

Any version would do.

The reason that I don't extract mine is that I don't own a nexus 1. As visible in my signature I own a galaxy S. And yes mine is rooted also, and yes it's modified mutch like yours, and I would like to modifie it some more, hense the request for framework-res.apk.

I'm sorry to say that I'm not sure how to extract it from a rom that is not flashed in a phone.

Yes I'm a little newbie in some things but I came here to learn and to try things. I didn't ask either of you to build me a rom or make me anything, thats what I'm trying to do myself, and not bother anyone whit my wishes.

A bit off topic. Sorry for that. If you can't or won't upload thats fine to.

PS You don't have to be mean.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I've uploaded for you framework-res.apk from old Enomther's build, which is somewhat resembling stock. I really don't want to download 80MB of a stock ROM only to extract a file from there and put it here. And as I said, most people that are rooted and run stock ROMs aren't able to help you, having no idea what to do because they rooted the phone without any understanding, and those that are, mostly run custom ROMs and don't have stock ROM available. My current framework-res won't help you either, because it's modified.

Nexus ROM is a simple ZIP file, packed with exactly the same directories as the ROM, and all the files in them. In the /system/app, you find framework-res. Extracting the file from there is as simple as extracting the file from any ZIP archive.

This wasn't an attack, but an explanation and suggestion to do something yourself. Obviously it didn't work.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robi-K:
Thank you. And your wrong it did work. It made my keep reading and managed to extract from a stock rom I downloaded. So I have to thank you because you made me work harder and now I know how to extract files from an .img.

PS I still think you were talking a little bit like you are superior to others.

No offense of course that is just my opinion and it might be very wrong.

Again thank you for your help and I mean that sincerely.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Well, I was maybe a bit sarcastic, but I didn't mean to offend you at all. Sorry if it sounded harsh.

P.S. I completely forgot that stock ROM doesn't look like custom ROMs, and contains complete IMGs. There is an easy way to extract them - using unyaffs - but you already know it, since you did it. I'm really sorry for forgetting that part, if I'd remember that - I'd point you to the relevant guide to begin with. My bad.
[Fascinate General] BBennett:
So I just got my Fascinate last week. I'm new to Android and I'm trying to get a grasp on what the popular/necessary apps, widgets, roots, launchers, etc. are...... So here is the question- What did you do straight away when you got your phone? And what do you wish you had done straight away?
[Fascinate General] elarson006:
Root, install de bloated rom of choice, install voodoo, profit
[Fascinate General] BBennett:
Where does one find these debloated roms?

Also I'm coming from a samsung omnia, my mind struggles to grasp how anyone considers this phone bogged down. So what is the purpose of rooting?
[Fascinate General] iceman1183:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798064

First, before you do ANYTHING, read about what you're doing, what the repercussions are, and DON'T do anything to the OS of your phone if you don't know what you're doing. That being said, there's more than enough people around here willing to help if you ask

educated

questions, and use the search function, as a lot of questions have already been answered. The above thread is excellent reading as to how to get started.

IMHO, Root, install a clean (de-bloated) ROM of your choice (many of which can be found in the Fascinate-->android development sub forum), and then if you want install a custom kernel, voodoo enabled or not, overclocked or not. Just read a bit, it'll all become clear very soon...

Welcome to a Fascinating world.....ugh that was a terrible pun. :-)

[Fascinate General] TheBadBen:
I came from an Omnia too. Reading these threads makes me wonder how many of the guys complaining about the bloat/lag had ever seen any WinMo phones...

In terms of removing bloat, a really easy way to hide it is simply use LauncherPro from the market. Aside from being crazy customizable, you can hide apps you don't want to see from showing up in your app drawer. Not exactly removing, but as mentioned baby steps can save you from that sinking feeling most of us have had...

Either way this phone kills the Omnia dead!
[Fascinate General] wtherrell:
Amen!!

I still pine for ListPro and Pocket Informant, tho.
[Fascinate General] martian21:
lots of good information here. The only thing I would add is that you should probably steer clear of Voodoo for the time being. Yes, it does really speed things up however do to the fact that it changes the filesystem type of your /data partition it no longer allows you to perform full backups (Nandroid) of your phone unless you disable the Voodoo lag fix which has rendered several phones (including mine) unable to fully boot without restoring to stock.

Voodoo will NOT brick your phone but anyone considering using Voodoo should be prepared to lose all their data and know how to flash back to stock. If you are not willing / able to accept that risk I highly recommend avoiding Voodoo - at least for now.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] SmartBrother90:
last couple of months there have been a increase in BBM-like apps which include:

Pmessenger

Pingchat

Whatsapp

LiveProfile

Kik

they all have similarities and differences between each and also similarities to BBM

Best Overall

I think the app that get us close enough to bbm like features is Pmessenger.

Pmessenger is the only one that actually uses PINS ( liveprofile does to but it has lp in front of them). Unlike all the other apps it doesnt use ur phone number or email..its completely standalone. With a lil UI fine tuning, removal of the ads it, and a better name it can really take off.

Best Name

that would go to Kik..its catchy..easy to say..has a nice ring to it lol..thats what most ppl like.

Worst Name

that would between Pmessenger and LiveProfile. Pmessenger is to long..its tiring its nerdy..and liveprofile is too much of a name for a messaging app if you get what i mean.

Best UI

has to go to Whatsapp..its clean very clean and gets to the point..i would have went with Kik but its basically a refurbished pingchat ui

Worst UI

would go to live profile..it has too much going on with all the taps.

Connectivity

hmm i dnt really know..im in jersey at the moment and it could just be my signal..smh yea i kno

Features

they all have the same type of features such as..being able to send video, audio or pics, push notification, multi-platforms, and they let you know when ur im has been read.

Kik is the only one that lacks those features besides the last one..but its also the only one that has its on set of smiley faces..and bbm users know its ALL ABOUT THE FACES..lol
