[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
IMHO, the best course for you is to update Froyo via KIES since that's the safest way to do so..

Now, if you are a bit like me (just a bit since I have this Flash addiction! LoL), you can use ODIN to flash to the preferred version of Froyo currently out there.

Froyo firmwares can be downloaded at www.samfirmware.com and they pretty much have the instruction even noobs can comprehend.

As for cutom ROMs, my choice is Hardcore's speedmod kernel since it increases your user usable RAM from the default 304MB to 341MB plus it has clockwork recovery and you can establish your preferred lagfix there (if you want to). I almost forgot to mention that his kernel also has voodoo's color fix for UI only.

My current set-up: JPA/JPP/JP4 + speedmod H1 250hz kernel with all tweaks enabled and using db=ext4, cache=ext4,dbdata=ext4.

no complains so far. my phone has been meeting my demands in terms of speed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4chin:
I like the sound of Hardcore's speed mod kernal. Are there any detailed instructions on where this can be found and how best to install this and back-up / reinstall my contacts etc?

I have a fear of ruining my phone, so want to minimise any risk of that!

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android.francis:
You can view hardcore's thread in the android development section. The file is also there.

How to set it up? The instructions are there but let me give you a summary assuming you are in stock froyo already:

1. Extract the zip file and you should get a .tar file with same filename.

2. Launch Odin and select the .tar as PDA. Don't put anything in PIT and make sure Repartion is NOT ticked.

4. Go to download mode from your phone by powering it off and wait for approx 5 secs or after the phone vibrates then press and hold volume down + home key + power key.

5. Plug the usb to the pc and you should see Odin display your com port.

6. Start flashing and you're now using speedmod

For backups, you can download and use titanium back up found in the market but if you do the flashing correctly, you won't lose any data.

Btw, you can also root your phone after you install speedmod. Just go to recovery mode and select superuser.

HELP!!

Hi, sorry for delayed response. Just followed the above instructions and I seem to have a problem. After flashing using Odin and the latest v1.2, my phone is now stuck at the Galaxy S screen (and not going anywhere!). I've pulled the battery and tried to restart normally, but no luck. Odin ran perfectly well with the following results:

<ID:0/004> Added!!

<ID:0/004> Odin v.3 engine (ID:4)..

<ID:0/004> File analysis..

<ID:0/004> SetupConnection..

<ID:0/004> Initialzation..

<ID:0/004> Get PIT for mapping..

<ID:0/004> Firmware update start..

<ID:0/004> zImage

<ID:0/004> Removed!!

<ID:0/004> Completed..

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

Please can someone help in guiding me on what to do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4chin:
WOW - what an entertaining and equally scary few hours I've had!! LOL!

After flashing a normal kernel on 2.1, I upgraded to 2.2 and reinstalled Hardcore's v1.2 250 which worked fine. I went to modify the settings to improve performance etc and I think I did too much (modified too many settings at once as well as rooting). This pretty much bricked my phone (at least I thought that to be the case). To cut a long story short (after having LOADS of problems), I've managed to reflash with JM8 and updated to JPO. I've installed Hardcore's mod again, but am scared on what to change.

Please can someone advise on the order in which I should make the changes? I think I probably want root (although would be interested in why I need it and the benefits), which lag fix should I use (I used OCLF last time), and what other settings I should use? How should they be applied? One at a time etc?

All I really want is a fast, stable phone, good battery life with all the stuff that should work, working well.

Thanks in anticipation. After all the learning I've undertaken, I no longer feel a Noob with Odin and messing with settings on this phone lol!!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4chin:
I feel like I'm writing to myself :) but as I've made some progress, I just wanted your advice...

Following my message below, I was brave and tried applying the settings one by one... I've applied a few bits (root, tweaks) and then the Voodoo lagfix (standard safe setting) which improved my quadrant score from 973 to 1460. My phone does feel quick and smooth. Is this as good as it gets or is it worth fettling some more? I see some people have higher quadrant scores...how???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danamoult:
Just saying that Hardcore's mod is a kernel and not a custom ROM. A custom ROM would be something like DocRambone's 7.6.2 ROM for JPO or JPA (which also comes with Hardcore's mod included).

Assuming you're not already done and happy with whatever ROM you're using now, I would use Doc's 7.6.2 ROM for JPO. That's the one based for users in the UK (I believe).

Also, I thought Vodaphone exclusively sold 16GB SGS's and not 8GB?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4chin:
I believe I've got the standard JPO ROM with Hardcores ROM. What are the benefits of DOcRambone's over standard JPO? What does it offer over what I've currently got?

All SHS on Voda are 8gb now - I think they had 16Gb at the start, but no longer sadly...

Thanks

Hi,

I wish to stop a WM6.1 device booting the OS and instead launch an application....

Is this possible and how?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] MxMave:

Pong... bounce... etc
[General Questions and Answers] MxMave:
No One Knows

Cause no one knows....
[General Questions and Answers] xaccers:
Probably because you haven't been clear on what you want to do.

For instance, you need an OS running (ie WM6.1) in order to run an app.
[General Questions and Answers] MxMave:
Surely

I don't see how much clearer that post could be.....

Essentially the OS can load in the background but i dont want it to be accessible to the user...

Currently the closest i have got is to remove the start menu bar and launch an app straight away, but theres an intermediate load period involved in this.

If its not possible then just say, I heard it was possible through editing the registry.

Cheers.
[General Questions and Answers] timmymarsh:
New one on me! What app are you wanting to run, why would you not want access to the os?
[General Questions and Answers] MxMave:
Prevent OS

I can hide the OS if disabling is not possible...

The whole point is so that a user cannot access the handhelds OS, only the application.

Hi,

Running 1.6.

Have had the phone just 8 days, and is my first Android. After mounting SD as Mass Storage to view on PC (XP SP3) I can't find out how to remount as Phone storage. The few times this has happened I have had to resort to physically removing the SD and replacing it. This solves the problem, but heh :eek: there must be a right/better way!

Thanks
[GT540 Optimus General] flyboyovyick:
if i remember rightly:

in android: settings>sd card storage (something like that)

There should be a remount option in there.

Hope this helps!

[HD7 General] Super Chimp:
Have heard various less than positive reports on the battery life of the two devices in the thread title & just wanted to hear from user experience, especially people swapping from the HD2 to the HD7, if it had better battery life?
[HD7 General] ageorgiou1984:
I moved over from a HD2. I'd say the battery life is roughly the same if not slightly better on the HD7.
[HD7 General] adesonic:
I would agree
[HD7 General] digime:
I can't comment on the HD2 but one thing I would say is to not be put off by the initial HD7 battery performance. Mine has improved dramatically over the last few days.
[HD7 General] lumpaywk:
i will say i was a lil worried at first as it was great for first 2 charges then it dropped really bad ie lost half the battery over night with no use, BUT, now it has sorted itself out the battery lasts really well. I get way more use than i did on my desire i mean way more like i would say 50% more. With all top end phones battery isnt going to be there strong point but i think wp7 is really good on this point esp as you don't have stupid apps running in the background draining it like on android.
[HD7 General] Super Chimp:
Well that's what used to bug me about the Android devices that I have had, that the battery performance was less than great. This was especially noticeable on the X10 I had for a little while.
[HD7 General] frontieruk:
It depends on how you use it, my usage the battery doesn't survive the same sort of punishment my Desire does, my usage is mainly as a internet device on 3g, and compared to the Desire it really does drain the battery, as a mp3 player it'll probably piss all over the desire for battery usage, I'd take stock of how you use your phone and plan accordingly.
[HD7 General] Super Chimp:
Like you I am a fairly heavy web user on any device I have so if this particular activity effects the battery life on the HD7 a lot then that's not so good!
[HD7 General] loomx:
Way better than the HD2, and unlike the HD2 it seems to be even drain the whole time, unlike the HD2 which seems to get to 10% left and within a few mins be at 0. I made a good 10-20 mins of phone calls on my HD7 when it said battery is critcally low and it didnt turn off even after the calls.
[HD7 General] LittleMerc:
I had just gotten my HD7 2 days ago, but my battery sucks big time... Its almost like it is leaking badly that during a meeting, I was just messing with the marketplace and the windows live messenger, my battery dropped from about 50% to almost 0 (for the first charge). After second and third charge with lower average use, it still able to last me for a day (8.30am to 8.00pm). Lets hope its like what you guys said, need to stabilize the battery after a few charges. By the way, my HD2 is able to withstand almost 2-3 days in WM6.5, and about a day use for Android Desire HD OS (about 35% upon reaching 11pm from 8.30am).
[HD7 General] tbk21:
My battery life sucks big time. If it is in standby it loses 5% battery:( per 2 hours for no reason, i already disabled the updates from microsoft and my email and calander syncs every hour. And when i'm on internet or marketplace my battery drops 50% in 1 hour. I have charged it know 4-5 times, I hope it will be better. I only charge the battery when it's on critical level.
[HD7 General] novalistic:
Poor Battery Life

The battery drained very fast, less than a day with heavy used. :(

Another bad thing is, took more than 3 hours to fully charged. :mad:

No indicator to show the %, very difficult to monitor the usage. :confused:
[HD7 General] novalistic:
You mentioned "5%" "50%" . . . .

How you get the % to show? or You just estimate. :D
[HD7 General] brummiesteven:
I think Roaming has a big effect on Battery Life.

My battery has been fine, Awesome Battery life... Until I went to uni, I can get no T-Mobile signal in lecture halls so it roams to Orange, this seemed to kill my battery a lot halfway through the day the battery indicator was less than half full.
[HD7 General] tbk21:
I switched roaming off. But I found something interesting, once again marketplace wouldn't open. (it always happens when I'm scrolling en clicking things very fast in the marketplace). So I had to restart my hd7. The battery was 10%, after the restart it was filled for 40% very strange.
[HD7 General] santoshrane:
How do you know you are connected to the internet?

Is there a way to see and stop the connection since that also takes lotof battery and ofcourse if you are on a limited plan that would call for a huge dent on the bills
[HD7 General] prjkthack:
So far, after 2 days, battery life has improved greatly since the first day. Much better than most smartphones I have used, and certainly way better than my current Evo even after using it for months. I suspect battery life will only get better as I break it in.

And yes, weak signals can cause significant battery drain regardless of what device you are using. The weaker the signal, the harder the phone tries to find or keep that signal.
[HD7 General] Monkey_Kebab:
Has anyone tested to see how badly the battery life is impacted by changing the brightness setting to high?

I was checking this phone out, and found that changing that setting really made a significant difference in the quality of the user experience... it didn't seem washed-out, like it does on the default setting. I'm just wondering how much of a beating the battery will take though.

Right now, I'm really leaning towards the Dell Venue... primarily because of the quality of the screen and the better battery. I don't care about the physical keyboard, so an HD7 might meet my needs if I can run it at full brightness.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norad73:
My Desire's ROM is full. I have rooted the phone and using root explorer to remove garbage from the ROM. There are many apps in /system/app. Each app has a .apk file and an .odex file. Is it safe to move the *.apk files to my sd card to save up space? Or are they needed to run the application?

Thanx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raze1000:
Think you may need to read a fair few of the posts in the forum if you are asking is it safe to remove apk's.

A fair answer is yes and no.

Some you can some you can't.

Removing the wrong ones will cause havoc with your phone.

Why not try flashing one of the custom Roms on here.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norad73:
Thanx Raze.

I believe that the operating system either *needs* or *doesent need* an apk file in the system/app folder for the app to function correctly.

My question is: Does android 2.2 *need* or *not need* the .apk file of an app to exist in the /system/app folder in order for the app to function correctly? Isnt the odex file enough?

Since apk's are package files, my impression was that maybe they are not needed after the app is installed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsDace:
deleted .apk file = uninstalled app

deleted important.apk file = havoc on your phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vnvman:
You won't get any advantage from that; freeing space on the system storage partition won't lead you to have more room for your apps on the internal storage of your device: those are two different partitions. If you want more space on the internal storage partition you should flash a custom, resized partition table (you need s-off, look on the related topic for the howto) and (if you didn't do that yet) partition your sd, so that you can use a2sd scripts to move your stuff there. That's the best you can do if you wanna have more room for your apps, everything else won't help much imo :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woody_2k:
My understanding (please correct me if i am wrong as i am so used to windows phone) is that the odex file is simply the integrity of the apk. lots of roms now are de-odexed so you can push or zip-flash a file into its place and it will still function. if the rom still has the odex files this is not possible as the phone will check the apk against the odex file and bootloop. The apk is the install package and the woking part of the file itself. Your best bet would be to flash a rom with A2SD installed in it. This accesses a fat3 partition on your sd card which the android os sees as extra internal space. I'm running LeeDroid 2.2d A2SD version. I have more apps installed now than when i was on a stock rom (motonav, psx4droid, angry birds, snesoid etc) and my phone still says i have 85mb or 52% of my space left

;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norad73:
Thank you guys, now it is clear.

I keep getting a storage space low warning on my Desire, and I am trying to find out how to free up some space. My phone is rooted, my sd is partitioned, and most of my apps are installed on the SD with apps2sd.

Any apps still installed on the phone do not support installing on the SD. I have removed almost all apps and left only a very few that cannot be moved.

EDIT: Just realized that HTC Mail data was taking up 65mb of the phone memory.... deleted it and now my phone can breathe again :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItsDace:

[Palm Treo Pro] tmason68:
A friend on mine has an Alltel Palm Treo Pro that she would like to activate on Page Plus. Page Plus generally allows most CDMA phones that are Verizon compatible. I found instructions on how to do this on HowardForums, but the instructions require CDMA workshop which is really expensive.

Will any of the custom ROMs listed here accomplish something similar? I think she would be willing to install a custom ROM if it would allow her to activate on Page Plus.

Is there any (legal) way to make the edits that you would make with CDMA workshop without CDMA workshop? Some other software perhaps?

Am I missing anything? Any other ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help.
[Palm Treo Pro] cellphonerepair:
That was my post over at Ho-Fo as well as at CDMAGurus.com. I don't think anyone every Hard SPLed this thing so I don't think there are any custom roms available for this phone. I could be wrong and if I am, someone please correct me.

While I don't have any links or instructions, this can be accomplished via QXDM. It is far more powerful than CDMA Workshop and can therefore be a little confusing to use, but some googling should yield some results as far as downloads and instructions are concerned. Alternatively, you can do a google search for CDMA Workshop 2.7. There is a cracked version out there.
