SGP Ultra Silke is the best Silicon type case. Great texture, shock protection, and durability.
[Vibrant Accessories] tweak89:
I bought the rubber jacket for my Vibrant from t-mobile. It's definately NOT the same material that most of there skins are made from. It's textured and does not get stuck in your pocket and get covered with lint like the smooth gel skin that is their norm.

I've dropped my phone (with no screen protector) a few times on various surfaces and the skin does it's job.

It's the same as this one, but in black (the blue shows off the texture):

i bought a tpu case from ebay and its by far the best case i had. it keeps the phone nice and slim while holding the phone tight in place. the material is a little tougher than the silicone and imo feels better. as for screen protector i've gone from zagg invisible shield to cheap ones online to the ones at the retail stores and none of them are as good as realook. realook is so easy to put on and is basically air bubble proof(for me at least). it has a glass feel as if u hadnt put one on unlike the invisible shield, after awhile the invisible shield gets super rubbery and feels like crap. thats my 2¢ :)

With file manager i enter in the folder and install it, i delete the X.apk

Thru cable i put Y.apk in the same folder, and after unplugging the cable, when i enter with the Astro or OI FileManager, i see the the X.apk... and not Y.apk

When exploring it again with usb cable, there is y.apk like is need to be, but when i enter there with astro or Oi, there is the old X.apk and not the Y.apk...

Isn't he refreshing the filelist from the sdcard ? What should i do ?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] XanoX:
I'm with telus, i flashed my Telus Omnia 1 phone. I wanted to install the system update CF03 on my phone that i found with the Samsung website. i tough it will correct my sms problems. They where not always sended to others.

The problem is like you allready know, it change with verizon drivers, and now the battery doesnt work nor the phone mode. I tought Samsungs os and driver where compatible with all their Omnia. But ... Telus and Bell Omnia doesnt work after installing thoses Rom.

Now, i'm looking for an original telus Rom, or any information if this as been fixed by TELUS or Samsung or even a Cooked rom for Telus Omnia for people like me

that didnt knew all the facts.

Any solution at this time ?

I'll be really happy if one of you can take the time to look for a solution.

All i've find so far is : Cant post the link yet ... (new to this forum)

I really hope there is a solution, this happened to a lots of people. I'm just looking for a way to get it like it was out of the box or (as close as possible).

I just got the phone a few month ago, so i hope i wont have to buy a new one for that mistake.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] frmariam:
Seems like you killed the phone part... Flashing that carries a risk. You'll still be able to use the device as a PDA just not as a phone... I'm under the belief there's no solution but you'll have better luck in getting the correct answer at modaco. As you can see there's no Omnia section here at xda.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] COMPACTER:
There is no official omnia section here, however if you search on the top you may find some help.

Also to answer your question about the ROM for telus, you know you can always revert back to the original ROM right?

you need to do a Hard reset and it should revert to the original factory settings, i have done that 2 times when trying to figure out a way to insert the 6.5 Rom on my omnia. I have managed since then to install it without issues and to be honest nothing special.

It's just a plain install without opting to install verizon modules, i also had to change some kernal codes other then that it was fine.
[Captivate General] smrtfondumuser:
Please pardon my "Noobness"

I have a captivate 1009 with 2.1 update1

I am not real savy with command line edits, so, I went to the app store and downloaded "Ryan's" one click root (free). Downloaded the free TiBu, a terminal emulator, clockwork recovery, and I guess I was not sure what to expect after. I had tried some of the other 1click root programs on here but they did not seem to do much. IF I were to try some of the latest version of the 1click root, can I put it over "what ever" I have on the phone? So far I have used the clockwork recovery to help with the back up but really don't want to disable the phone doing something wrong.

I am probably over my head already, but would like to enable the phone to most of it's capability and remove the AT&T stuff I will never use. BTW, my GPS works good on sat signal only disabling the cell function and I have not experienced the shut downs like some others (lucky!!)

I would appreciate any basic help to put this phone on track.

When I rooted, I never got the "update.zip" option when I went in to recovery mod, but I had "SU" icon in apps.

I have scoured the forums for weeks now only find contradictory information and workarounds !!!

Also, my first smartphone, hence my screen name !!!

Thanks
[Captivate General] Nerz:
Never had that problem, you did go to recover to actually activate the root from ryans right? That has worked on three phones that I have done so far.

[Desire HD Android Development] mikecoffee:
All credit goes the Kendon from villainrom he rocks my socks

If you want to be able to use adb with root permissions you need one of these boot.imgs. you use this at your own risk, no matter what! i assume you have adb working, if not, there are guides (also here on the site, might look for one later).

this boot.img is from RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE_1.32.405.6, it might break wifi for other roms. let me know if you have problems, i will try to find the correct boot.img for you then.

Code:

abd490503190fff2c0c7d17ec42a14c1 dhd/boot.img

- get fastboot.exe, put it on your pc in the same directory as adb.exe

- download the proper boot.img for your device, put it in c:\.

- connect your phone via usb, make sure usb debugging is enabled, open a command prompt and type:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot boot c:\boot.img

if all goes well and the device boots up you know it works. now do:

Code:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot flash boot c:\boot.img

this will make it permanent.

you probably need the s-off bootloader for this, as usually the s-on doesn't allow fastbooting or flashing img files.

To get boot.img go here

once you get s-off and the write protection has been removed do you really get declined root with adb?

i mean i had root with adb with temp root :S

did you try adb remount and see if that gave you write access to the partition?

slighlty confused as to what this is.

[Windows Phone 7 General] amb9800:
Nope- no Windows Mobile 6.x (or earlier) apps will work on WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Clean break. Nothing will work. Apps on WP7 are based on Silverlight/XNA. There aren't going to be many third aprty native applications. .NET CF Applications from WM 5-6.x won't work either. There was never a Silverlight for Windows Mobile, so most apps will have to be rewritten, not only because of that, but because the entire platform from internals to GUI have changed remarkably.

[Windows Phone 7 General] citrix80:
hum. dont like that idea. so all WP7 apps are completely rewritten? are those more stable and more smooth than older windows mobile apps ?
[Windows Phone 7 General] janemanno1:
The point was to start with a clean slate and they did. This has been out in clear from day one round about 2 years ago when the development begun.

Stability of the app is upto the developer not Microsoft. Smooth is also upto the developer to make the code more efficient though the OS is quite smooth.

Hope this clears it up.
[Windows Phone 7 General] citrix80:
those apps have different format? different way to install ?

Yeah the old ones were CAB, new ones are XAP. Thought they both are ZIP files in a nutshell.

mine sleeps fine as well. Do you have any particular app running? For example, if you have AT&T Navigator running it will not sleep. There are a few other apps that provide the ability to prevent it from sleeping. So, are you on the main screen or in an app when it doesn't sleep?

Cannot say I've had this problem. Worked at its default of 1 min, and still works after I changed to 3.

I am trying to id the app if any that is causing it but with no task manager its impossible.

I do notice an issue with the camera app. If the camera button gets pressed then the phone will stay on and not sleep, for me at least.

It goes off on it's own mostly...thanks for the reports as I work through this. I may need a hard reset anyway, hey why not Ill add a microSD at that time.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Espaa Valorum:
XDA has a wealth of info, but it does seem to assume that you are already pretty knowledgeable about many of the subjects. I'm brand new to this. I've been reading a lot, but still feel like I'm missing some basics. One question I can't seem to find an answer to is: What's the difference between a Kernel and a ROM? TIA for educating me :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
A ROM is a collection of all your services, phone, sms, bluetooth, applications etc. bundled in a flashable zip or sometimes odin flashable packages. Think of it as a customized operating system. Which it is. Some are themed, some are not.

One thing that every ROM has included is a kernel. The kernel is the interface between your gui (You basically) and the hardware of the phone. The "brains" as it were. When you touch a widget (or whatever) on your screen and something cool happens it's because said widget passed a request for action and the kernel tells the hardware involved to get busy.

Oversimplified, but I hope it clarifies some.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
It's not the greatest metaphor, but a ROM is Windows, and a Kernel is your BIOS.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
heading in the right direction but a bit off.

The kernel is the operating system.

The rom is a collection of software that includes user gui and some of the software for hardware to operating system interface.

Windows is actually both a kernel and user gui.

A bios is nether - usually bios is just hardware firmware - but sometimes contain a few other things as well.

The best example from a pc would be a linux distro such as ubuntu - the desktop environment gui ubuntu/gnome would be the " rom " and actual linux operating system running underneath is the kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Espaa Valorum:
Alright, thanks for the explanations, it is a little clearer now.

When i got my phone i did the OTA update to JH7, rooted, installed Clockwork and did a ROM backup. So i have that backup saved. I want to try some other tweaks and such that i see mentioned around here all the time, but i wanted to make sure i understood the various pieces before i start messing with it all any further. So having the ROM backup, i should be always be able to get back to the state of the phone at that point right? (I understand it does not include pictures and messages and such.)

I guess what i haven't been able to find is a newbie guide that explains how to start at stock, what steps to take, what to actually do with the backup, how to restore etc. So i'm trying to learn. Thanks for the replies, it helps!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
No. going back that way will not always work.

Make sure you can get into download mode, recovery mode, and that your computer is recognizing your device.

If you are flashing roms, at some point you will need odin so this is essential that you can get that to recognize your device in download mode to flash back to stock when something goes awry.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Espaa Valorum:
I was able to get into recovery mode. I did the rooting through an update.zip. My computer also sees my device fine. I used ADB to communicate with it (and remove the market restriction.) I'm on a Linux box, and it seems that Odin is a Win app?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fatttire:
Technically windows has a kernel too, most people just don't talk about it.

Hence the ROM being the whole package as mentioned above is a good metaphor
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheTinRam:
More kernely details

I hate to revive an old thread, but this one is exactly on a topic I am currently researching. Being a noob I have read a lot over the past couple of weeks but am still a little confused about this whole kernel thing.

I know what the kernel does. What confuses me is that I have seen several references (including in this thread) that a ROM will always include a kernel. If that is the case, why is it that some ROMS state "does not come with a kernel" and ask you to flash the "kernel of your choice".

With this in mind I would like to know:

-How can I tell what kernel I am running? Is it the "build number"?

-Since the kernel does not present anything the user actually sees, how could you possibly choose a kernel and like one over the other?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
think of it this way...

to tell what kernel you are on;

menu button > settings >about phone > kernel

to know about each kernel go to the XDA > Captivate > Development area look for [Kernel] at the beginning of each thread. look at the options, read the options, research the options

also there IS visible features of the kernel if it has ClockworkMod Recovery built into it. with this you dont need ROM manager or the update.zip method of Clockwork Mod Recovery (aka CWM)

see the CWM onix kernel idiot guide in my sig.

and check out the XDA wiki for ClockworkMod Recovery. "i started it"

That's a great explanation, thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acrono:
Thanks, Tristyn for that analogy. So my question is, can you just use a "Kernel"? By Tristyn's analogy, it appears that just the kernel is useless as you can't drive a car that only includes the engine (ie: you need the wheels and the frame, etc.).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
What? if you flash just a kernel it doesn't delete the framework? It's just like swapping the engine in a car.

Yes if you SOMEHOW only had a kernel installed you get a boot error and it would probably give you the "phone...!....pc" screen.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The-Droidster:
Custom ROM and then a custom Kernel. Is it possible?

Well, I'm a bit confused. Consider this:

I flash the phone with CM7(say). Here I'm assuming that CyanogenMod comes with its own kernel. My question is: Can I flash a custom kernel on top of this setup? and what difference does it make?

One can also think the other way round. I have flashed my phone with a custom kernel. Successively I flash CM7 on to my phone. What happens then? Is the original custom kernel wiped out to be over-written by CM7 kernel? What can be done to keep it intact? Please people solve this dilemma...:eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
It's not really a dilemma. You can flash any appropriate kernel that you want. Flashing CM7 again will give you the CM7 kernel. Simply reflash your other kernel.
