Is it possible to just flash this rom over? not sure what you mean when you say wipe? this is different from simply doing a factory reset?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
yeah the voltages are crazy low! i get 12+ hours of very heavy use. 4hours inside browser and 1 in angry birds!

by wipe i mean in clockwork recovery. wipe data and cache
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
is the included kernel working well?
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigmcq77:
Ah, so I assume you have to do more than just partitioning? I searched through the thread for full steps but didn't see anything. Please, go in to further explanation about how to set it all up, or add it to the OP. I really want to get back on your rom asap but this is holding me back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Hero_Over:
instructions are now on OP!

I stop DRM by using Autostart and disabling it from starting up, I also leave wifi on all the time when i'm at home & yes I used Juice Defender before but am trying it again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sacwoo:
Question, If you format the SD card, how are you supposed to flash the ROM? I would think it would erase the Rom from the SD card. If I am mistaken I will try it, just wasn't sure it was possible to do this in one step.
[Epic 4G Android Development] bigmcq77:
I am going to take the sd out, then use the microsd adapter to sdcard to put it in my computer and copy over. I'll update in a few if this works

Edit: If you don't have an sd slot/adapter for your computer try the mount usb storage option under mounts/storage in cw.

Update: Everything was working after installing 2 apps, then I rebooted and the apps didn't show up in the launcher. I rebooted again, and am now at the bsod again. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] Zeinzu:
Hero I haven't tried the rom, or the kernel included with the rom, I've never had issues with ur kernels before so I was simply going to use special2, just won't boot

[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
You may have a bad download, try formatting again and re-downloading to see if that fixes it. If not, flash back to stock with Odin and try again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
I wanted to know, if when I go to format sd-ext in clockwork it never takes me to chose 512/ etc....etc...it just says "formated sd-ext".......any thoughts?
[Epic 4G Android Development] IcOpRo:
quick questions, about CWR, I come from using an EVO, the recovery I had was different, also had a wall charger like the one u mention in here, so here are my questions.:

1- When I select to wipe batt stats on CW, it does it instantly, idk if its because im used to the old recovery I had on my EVO, but is this normal? It wipes the stats like instantly.

2- Can you recommend a wall charger? I had one from Ebay for my EVO that came with x2 batts.

Thanks a lot.
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
Another quick question...Can I remove any of the data apps with root manager like the touchwiz widgets and email apks without causing any problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] thomasskull666:
Yes you can, there is a thread on here that details all of the system apps that are safe to remove, I'm lazy so I'm not gonna find it for you lol, use the search bar up top ^
[Epic 4G Android Development] MILcityBoi:
LOL, thank you, I know how to do it but I thought something was going crazy with the ROM once I removed any of the stock apks...come to find out it is mybackup pro that is giving me the issues....black screen of death anytime I restore my backed up apps...IDK what it is, I guess I will just try to redownload everything to see if it's one particular app.
[Epic 4G Android Development] sacwoo:
Same here, everything I installed disappeared after one boot, however I have yet to get a BSOD.

I am guessing A2SD isn't working on this rom with all the issues that are being reported.

Edit - I am using kernal2 if that matters. And oddly enough I reinstalled the Rom on top of itself to get the first kernel and when I go to install an app that disappeared from the launcher it acts like it's already installed saying that whatever I am installing will be copied over the already installed program. Almost seems like the apps are still installed, the links are just disappearing.

You should probably contact the GPS manufacturer to see if they have a list of compatible phones.
[Droid 2 General] TDianna:
Well I did contact Motorola and first they said sure it will work but with some troubleshooting and another call to Motorola's tier 2 tech, they said that the droid 2 does not support it.

So, I am searching for a app that does it....any suggestions?

[EVO 4G General] Admiral2145:
I have a weird problem with talk on the evo, if im on wifi it signs in no problem.... 3g or 4g it wont connect at all or sometimes. Im using meebo and it works over wifi 3g and 4g... i have the latest radios and running ava-froyo 2.2 v9.

btw with stock rom I still have the same problem, anyone know how to fix this issue? I would rather use google talk because, meebo doesnt try to log back in after 5-10 min w/o 3g 4g or wifi... google talk on the other hand will log back in on its own.
[EVO 4G General] cflynt:
Wish I had an answer for ya, I use GTalk on 3G all the time, I do know it takes a min for data to fully do DNS and such after switching from Wifi to 3G or whatnot, maybe it is just not kicking in fast enough? But it should work just fine.

After I unplug my phone from the computer (I had it plugged in for charging) the music app(s) complain that my SD card is currently mounted and therefore unavailable so it cannot be accessed for music, etc. All I do is plug in the USB cable and let it sit for charging, then unplug when needed. In fact, I've been doing this for months, but only one week ago I'm seeing this SD card issue. To resolve it, I have to restart my phone.

Hi guys,

First of all I want to tell you guys that I dont have any knowledge in using android OS:(. So it would be very kind of you if you guys can provide a video tutorial of upgrading the android 1.6 to 2.1 and rooting it.

I am familiar with flashing and customizing windows mobile but I know android is entirely different from that. I hope someone can provide the video tutorial:).

Thanks and regards,

Bobby Thomas.

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bobbythomas:
Thank you guys...

First of all I want to thank DonPanda for the nice video, I also want to thank jealumalai111462, m4nu4l for there valuable suggestions. And most importantly I'm expecting a video tutorial from one of our senior members flyboyovyick.

Regarding the DonPanda's video, I didn't clearly understand the KDZ updater program part as the program was in russian, and also the rooting part. It will be very helpful if you can provide a close up of the various task that we will need to do in the "handset". I couldn't follow anything that you did with the mobile.(I'm sorry to tell you that I am so dumb in android.) And thank you guys for the nice support.

More over I just want to know whether flashing custom ROM can brick the phone? What all steps should I be careful in that case?

Thanks and Regards,

Bobby Thomas.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] DonPanda:
:)

First u have to download the ROM u want to install. The ending of the file is .KDZ like an *.exe but.. ye... .kdz :P

After u download the .kdz file, put it in a folder where ever u want. Start the Windowsenabler.exe from the .zip-file in that thread.

Second start the KDZ_FW_UPD.exe and choose the in step 1 downloaded .kdz file during pressing the "folder open" button.

After u did this, and ur phone has "Debugging mode" active (Settings -> Applications -> development -> USB Debugging [Check]), pres the field with the many "??? ? ? ? ????? ?????" twice.

The .kdz (ROM) extract itself and install ur costumrom on ur device.

After the new 2.1 Android is installed, reboot ur phone, reset usersettings to fabric standard (Settings -> Privacy -> reset bla).

Download This file, extract to anywhere, connect ur phone via debug and start the "root.bat" file.

Ur phone restarts shortly and vuala, ur device is rooted.

Well, there is everytime a basic risk while flashing ur device. No one can say "ye, it will work for u" or "no, please don't do it!"

Normally the public product works on every Smartphone. As i said - normally.

In percent under 3 %, but... 3 % is much.

U cant do anything. When u'r phone finally bricks, its broken. :)

In this case u can open a thread here in XDA-board and post ur problem like here and here. As u can see we got nice members who help with handshake.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DownloaderZ:
Hi y'all.

I recieved a swap handset from HTC and its been acting a little funny.

The main problem is that it's not updating to 2.2.1 even though I've had it now for a few weeks. I've done the "checkin" trick, no avail.

Also, last night, I was sending texts out and evidently they would reach the other party but they would not show up in the conversation screen on my device.

Also, the phone has been dropping calls a bit and doing this weird thing where it would get stuck on the call screen unless I pulled the battery. Here are my "numbers" Does anything look fishy?

I'm in the US using a T-mo N1 on tmo:

Any input is very much appreciated it!

What about the build number? Is it written FRF91 or some weird stuff? If it's the latter, then that's why it's not updating, if not, try updating manually...

Build number is as expected frf91. I didn't want to manually update if HTC sent me a buggered device, I'd rather let them handle it.

Anything else look out of place?

can someone help me reinstall accountnsync on my vibrant? I deleted it before thinking I didnt really need it but, now i want it back. Whenever i try to reinstall it it says application not installed.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] richan90:
You have to put the apk file into the "system/app/" folder
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] Bboy nobles:
ive tried that but it just keeps saying its not installed.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] camalot:
you cannot just install it. you have to put the file back in the /system/app directory. You do know you can get to accounts and sync from pressing "Menu->Settings->Accounts And Sync" the apk that is in /system is just like a short cut.

Also, when you put the accounts and sync apk back, dont forget the odex too

i use video chat to pc all the time. i use the stock yahoo messenger app that came with my mt4g. then when i opened it, it took me to the market to download the video app. once i did that and i signed into yahoo messenger. u instant message ur friend or whoever u wanna video chat with. once ur in the instant message hit the menu button on the mt4g, the hard button next to the home button. then it shows video chat or something like that. click it and it will send a call to ur friend and they hit accept and ur good to go. see if it works. but i had to use wifi since there is no 4g in my area and my 3g i can only get 700kbps at best which does suck.

[Captivate Accessories] robstunner:
Anyone purchase one of these yet? Looks good but company pictures just don't do any real world justice. $19 with free shipping on eBay is a great deal, but i'd rather keep the $19 in my pocket if the case isn't as good as it looks. That being said, with the new Otterbox cases "coming soon," I would rather make sure this is worth it before taking the bait.

Thanks in Advanced,

Rob
[Captivate Accessories] aNdroidnut:
from the back that looks like the seidio rugged case I had on my nexus. The case in photos looks good but I dont care for the part at the top.
[Captivate Accessories] sixk:
looks really bulky.....
[Captivate Accessories] polarbee:
I bought that for my husband and he really likes it. It completely covers the buttons on the sides so that takes a little getting used to but he needed something a bit sturdier and this looks like it should do the trick. We haven't dropped it intentionally though. :)
[Captivate Accessories] spartan062984:
Questions:

According to the website, there's an option to purchase this case with the Holster combo for $50......there's also an option to get it WITHOUT the holster for only $30. As mentioned earlier, the website/ pictures at seidoonline.com does NOT do justice to its almost unclear as to what items are included.

Q1: Did you buy this with or without the Holster?

Q2: Regardless of Holster or not, does the package ALSO include the actual Innocase II case itself? I would think it would be common sense to include it, but you never know.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Accessories] dwmoss:
Picked up one of these after reading about it in one of the otterbox threads.

Decent price through mygearstore, in addition timed it with a 25% off twitter coupon they posted

It came in pretty quick, seems pretty nice, I only had it on for about an hour, and reboxed it for for a present for the wife to give me. I've been using a cheap silicone case from ebay/amazon. The protected corners seems to be a big advantage and I like the feeling of the finger slots on the edges.

I'll post some images after the holidays if anyone is interested.

dm
[Captivate Accessories] spartan062984:
I vote for pics on this! Although, if you can post pics sooner that would be great (to help with decision-making before christmas) :D

If not, its ok also. "beggars cant be choosers..."

I have a heard a few good feedbacks, but nothing in depth such as a video on youtube for the captivate. It sucks that they don't have the Rugged Combo in Blue. They have it in the Hybrid version such as the image/ pic above my post, but if you look closer, there is a slight difference in the skin as far as a "camera cover" if you want to call it that. The Hybrid (which comes in blue) does NOT have that feature. I'm also interested in seeing if there are covers for the Ports on the top (3mm jack/ usb port) in either Rugged or Hybrid. Its silly i know, but both are the same price for 49.99 at Seidio, without the luxury of having the blue skeleton/ skin for the rugged combo.

I could easily buy both just to satisfy my Blue anxiety, but who would do that?! :rolleyes:
[Captivate Accessories] dwmoss:
not the best images but here you go....
[Captivate Accessories] spartan062984:
Nice.

Questions:

1) does the top of the silicon skin provide covers for the ports (jack / usb)?

2) how lose (if any) is rubber skin?

3) have you tested to see how well it fits inside pockets (jeans/ pants/ etc)?
[Captivate Accessories] dwmoss:
1. openings only not a sealable/closed cover - but the usb sliding cover (phones) was easy to open and close with the case on

2. rubber skin is pretty tight it isn't loose at all, I really like the way the plastic X fits over the corners

3. its much slicker then the silicone $4 special case I've been using, part of that is the x plastic but the rubber itself is much smoother.

I won't really have a decent review until I get to use it after x-mas but the hour or so I did have it on it was worth the $18 I had to spend on it.

dm
[Captivate Accessories] polarbee:
Sorry for the delay in responding. :)

I bought it with the holster for him but he doesn't use it much as he stores it in his chest coat pocket most of the time and the clip gets in the way.

The Active X does not include the Innocase II as they are incompatible with each other. The Rugged is the one that fits over the Innocase II. (Basically, the Active X is just a slimmed down version of the Rugged that fits directly on to the phone itself instead of over another case.)
[Captivate Accessories] fonion:
More Pics + Quick Feedback

Got my Active X a few days ago.

I'm a belt clip user, so this was one of few available options. I had a Seidio Innocase for my HTC Fuze that I did not like: the rubbery coating peeled and flaked off, and the clips holding the case on broke within 5 months. They sent me a brand new replacement right away but the same problems repeated. I have the same concerns about the coating on the X-skeleton portion of the Active X but fortunately there are no small plastic parts to break.

Pros:

(1) Not too bulky. I like the feel in my hand. Naked Captivate felt easy to drop even though thinness was quite sexy. Still slips in/out of pocket easily.

(2) Seems like good protection but I have no objective data on this.

(3) Great belt clip: secure, comfortable.

(4) Fit is spot on and I still have a skin on underneath.

(5) Nice blue color.

Cons:

(1) Durability concerns.

(2) Buttons have almost no feedback although they work fine and are actually quite responsive. Takes getting used to.

(3) Rubber gets dusty but its not too hard to brush off.

(4) Spendy

Verdict: Me like.

Photos: I can't make links since I'm a new user on XDA :( Please go to Flickr and search for "Seidio Active X Hybrid Case for Captivate". My photos should come up at the top. There is a set of 6 pics.

Cheers.
[Captivate Accessories] dwmoss:
I'm actually looking forward to Christmas to put this bad boy back on.

fonion,

I'd argue about con #4. I was able to get my active x pretty cheap. Not as cheap as a amazon $3 silicone cover but still significantly cheaper then the comparable otterbox commuter case.
