[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ByteFalcon:
VISONary worked like a charm for the Legend, MUCH easier than the complex tutorial over at the Legend forums, but the downside is i have to work harder to get a backup whereas if I had rooted using other methods a recovery tool like nandroid would've been automatically installed. now although its rooted i'm still searching for a way to backup the legend.

VISIONary doesn't support the Desire so unrEVOked is the only way to go.

also i seem to have gotten 2 things confused: Recovery and ROM. after quite some reading let me see if i've got down the differences right.

when you say unrEVOked flashes a custom recovery it means it changes the default recovery mode to a custom one like say NANDroid or AmonRA which gives you the option to back up your ROM, correct? the ROM is an image of the OS itself which you can backup/restore with a recovery.

confusing those two made me run around in circles for a while but thanks to that i've learned quite a lot. I'm gonna try unrEVOked on my Desire and search for a way to backup the Legend, i'll ask around on the Legend forum and see where that goes.

i'll post back my results with the Desire here.

thanks Eddy :)

Hi all,

Hacked up an live wallpaper this week and thought I might get people's thought on it here.

It's on the android marketplace now, and it's a free app, a small physics bases live wallpaper.

I was going to post the QR code to it, but I guess being a new user I can't do external links.

Please go to the android marketplace and search for "letterphile live wallpaper".

Any feedback welcome.

"Gorilla glass" on Samsung Omnia 7. Still not confirmed... And probably never will...

"Gorilla glass" on Samsung Omnia 7? Still not confirmed .

Dell Streak has it.

Samsung Galaxy S has it.

Samsung Focus has it. Just tweeter confirmation from Samsung USA.

Omnia 7 - still no 100% positive source.

Thanks!

Update:

This is by far the best explanation that I got so far by Mobiletechword.

Hi Kraft,

There's obviously no official confirmation (press release etc..) but that's what a Samsung Rep told me when I asked him about it during the Oct11th launch event. You may also remember that The Gorilla Glass announcement of the Galaxy S line of phones only came (IIRC) 3 months after the product release. My guess is that Samsung can't officially say anything because the Gorilla Glass is one of the Dell Venue Pro selling features too so OEMs (and MS) decided to all have their own differentiating features to talk about and not step on each others toes. Take DLNA for example: It's available on all of HTC's new Android handsets and Samsung handsets too but is missing from the WP7 devices. That's because LG got it as "an exclusive" for WP7. Same for SRS/Dolby: It'son all Samsung's Android devices but surprisingly only on HTC's WP7 phones etc...

Now I'm definitely not going to try to "test" the Omnia 7 screen to really see if's a Gorilla glass but everything is pointing towards it. Gorilla Glasses aren't indestructible thought and can be relatively "easily" scratched like any other piece of glass (take a sample diamond ear ring or sand paper etc..) they just won't shatter in millions of piece if your device hits the ground etc.. Anyway the official list isn't even up to date: http://www.corning.com/gorillaglass/devices.aspx No Dell Venue Pro, Nokia N8 etc...

The samsung reps could have been wrong thought.. but glass on my Galaxy S is perfectly identical to the one on the Omnia 7... so who knows lol..
[Omnia 7 General] tommyjakobsen:
Sorry for asking, but what is "Gorilla Glass"? I own an Omnia 7, so how can I check?
[Omnia 7 General] JustinL01:
Checked on the Website, nothing mentioned, so no idea at the moment.

Gorilla glass is a special process that toughens the Glass to help resist against scratches, shattering etc.

[Omnia 7 General] 001mic:
What do you mean by scratched? How bad is it? Do you have to replace the screen?

Edit: Can you post any pictures? I' known for dropping my phones, so I'm particularly interested in this info.
[Omnia 7 General] Cruzer1:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/55233040@N07/sets/72157625273984289/

I got insurance with my phone, so if it gets more scratches I might get it repaired for $50AU. What's better is if it breaks I can get a replacememnt for $250AU, but i've only had this for just over 2 weeks ><

I bought a screen protector, and as my posts in this forum has shown, multitouch gets affected when a screen prot is added. Maybe its just the screen protector? no idea, my guess was its the phone having conductivity problem when a plastic screen prot is added.
[Omnia 7 General] 001mic:
Thx.

I don't like screen protectos either. I do not buy one for my phone.
[Omnia 7 General] KraFT_mk:
I never use any protectors, too.

This was just to clarify . So far I cant find 100% positive information.
[Omnia 7 General] Erwan960:
I called Samsung Technic Support (France) two times. Each time, they confirm me the Gorilla screen for the Omnia.

The only problem is that I never trust technical support and I am trying to find some more trustworthy source :)

Glad i got a screen protector on it out the box it seems with some reviews popping up on the net about little marks being too easy to obtain on the samsung screen.

Don't care if people think it looks silly with one on :p it works...

[Omnia 7 General] 001mic:
I'd rather have scratches (as long as there tiny) then a sticker on my device.

Each to his own, I guess :)
[Omnia 7 General] c-bone:
I've had mine for over a week now and I have just been using it as I did with my last phone. I'm not wreckless but I dont wrap it in cotton wool either. There isn't a scratch on it yet, it still looks brand new, so I'm with 001mic I would much rather have the full touch sensitivity and feel of an exposed screen (even with a few scratches) than a sticker on the front!
[Omnia 7 General] gcaw:
I picked up a Samsung 'phone sock' for my Omnia 7 as I didn't want to go down the whole screen protector route either. Annoyingly, although the sock was marketed as being an Omnia 7 accessory, it is of course a generic 'one-size-fits-many-models' accessory, and this case, it happens that the size doesn't fit this model particularly well.

With some rather vicious and vigorous stretching, the phone just about squeezes in, though if I drop it, there's a very good chance that the top edge will take some scratches if it goes down head-first.

That said, from a screen protection point of view, it's not bad - it means that I don't have to freak out every time I almost put my keys or loose change in the wrong pocket, and offers at least *some* protection from scratches should my drunken paws lose grip on a particularly savage night out.

Also very easy to slide the phone in and out of the sock - and there's the added bonus that the screen gets some of my greasy fingerprints wiped off it each time I slide it in and out of the sock as well.

Almost an all-round win - if only it fit the phone just a bit better... Maybe I'll just use a normal sock and slap a Samsung sticker on it.

I am having the sane issue. I have tried regaw's method, the manual method listed in the hboot S-off thread, and the automated method in the other hboot thread. Everything works except flashing pc36img.zip....it throws the error he mentioned when updating radio v2, plus it throws fail-ic when trying to update bootloader (it does not say "bootloader skipped" as indicated it should in the guide). From this point forward, it will not boot past white HTC splash w/o running ruu. You can even do the rest of the guide and get a custom recovery flashed (i have done both amon-ra, and clockwork). After running ruu, S-off sticks (meaning unrevoked worked, I suppose), but you obviously don't have root. If you try to flash a custom Rom, even just a rooted version of the ruu, it throws a symlink error (something like E:fail can't symlink bin/lsmod....can't remember exact syntax, I posted it in another thread though, I'll see if u can find it). I have tried doing this from custom recovery and from toast's pc-based recovery. Is there a way for me to pull a log of what is happening when the pc36img has its errors? That may be the only way for me to give you more info than I have.

So after some research I found the correct file to make my phone boot, The manual steps worked and i rotted my phone but i am unable to put a custom rom on

dl this file rename it pc36img and push it to you phone and reboot in the hboot and let it install it should pass you will have root access and clockworks custom recovery but until someone fixes the roms or gives a answer they wont work they will fail but you will have a phone and root admin.

I think it is the bad blocks issue popping up again. I read about it in toast's root thread, I believe. If I am right, toast figured out a fix before. We may have to find a way to use his fix again.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Hexabit:
Discovering "adb shell" gave joy, experiencing the shell as minimal bash with awful line handling (backspace and command recall) gave annoyance, experiencing "adb root" refusing access gave frustration.

After some tracking, it turns out that adbd behaviour is determined by the property "ro.debuggable" which is set during system init. The initial value is located in the file "/default.prop". In JP6 it is set to 0 resulting is adbd refusing access. However, set to 1, "adbd root" will give the much better response of "restarting adbd as root".

Once set, the property value cannot be changed. To get this fixed you need to change the contents of the file default.prop which is located in the initial ramdisk image.

Optionally, you can put a replacement shell in /sbin of in ramdisk image so that when connected "exec bash" will make things more relaxing. I attached the version I am using, which is statically linked with ncurses/readline.

There is also a simple patch to unlock adbd if you dislike opening and rebuilding the ramdisk image. However, you do need binoffset which is located in the scripts directory of the linux source tree.

ofs=`scripts/binoffset initramfs.cpio \`echo -n 'debuggable=0' | od -t u1 -An\` 2>/dev/null`
echo 'debuggable=1' | dd bs=1 seek=$ofs conv=notrunc of=initramfs.cpio

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ricky Divjakovski:
you have to split the kernel, then decompile the ramdisk and edit default.prop and change ro.debuggable to 1, then recompile and flash
