I was curious to try out the kernels (not rom)-- was anyone able to apply one of those 3 (or 4) kernels, standalone? I always got the Samsung Logo frozen on the screen-- no response. I tried all of the suggestions of wiping cache, clearing dalvik, etc

here is a link... emai me joshrx01@gmail.com i have bakedsnack 1.6 and all the kernel
[Epic 4G General] johnyardavid:
I haven't tried to do that but remember. Hero_Over's kernels are highly modified. His rom saves dalvik cache to sd card and a2sd if you choose. I'm pretty sure you'll run into problems applying any of the newer ones to a rom besides his.
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
The moderators need to be consistent.

Either they should allow Hero back on the board or lock *all* threads asking for his kernel due to it being warez since he does not release the full source code.

They cannot have it both ways. Either it is warez, or it is not.

So, the choice is to let Hero's work back on or to lock threads like this one.
[Epic 4G General] nadcicle:
The only thing about that is there is nowhere that says "when" you have to release source code.

There are phones out by HTC that still dont have the full source out. They give what they wanna give and thats it. Either way it does say that you should be able to give the source up upon request.. It still doesn't say how long you have to give it though lol.
[Epic 4G General] prodigyplace:
There sure is

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html

Section 3 says it must accompany the program (in other words, immediately)

3(b) says that if it is a written offer, it must be valid for at least 3 years.

If HTC has not relased the full kernel source, they are copyright infringers too.

The rest of the Android system is covered by a different open source licence, though.
[Epic 4G General] vatoamigo:
hmm...

Actually the mods can pretty much have it both ways. Allowing an audience to discuss someone else's kernel/rom is substantively different than allowing the developer to use the forum space to promote it.

That being said, I use bakedsnack and think it's great. But I can understand the mods not allowing Hero_over to post here too. /shrug
[Captivate General] craftsy21:
I rooted my captivate, backed up everything (I thought) I was supposed to, and then downloaded and flashed over to Cognition. It all worked pretty flawlessly, I customized everything the way i wanted on my home screens and restored all my apps... and then I realized all my phone numbers were gone.

I've tried every strategy I can find for recovering them except flashing back to my backup, which I remember reading might work. I'm not sure that will work either, and I don't want to go through the hassle of undoing all my work if it's unlikely to save all my contact info anyhow.

So I guess I'm hoping for some kind of miracle here... is there any way to recover these that I may not have tried? I thought titanium backup would preserve them, or at the very least I thought syncing my google account would but neither seems to have worked - i've scoured the backup files I made but can't see which of them might contain that information, if any.

Sorry for the lengthy post - just want to cover all my bases to save time for responders. I apologize for asking an all-too-often asked question also, but nothing I've searched and tried seems to work for me.

Any help out there? Thanks. :(
[Captivate General] Nitroburner77:
If you still have the stock contacts app and you synced with AT&T before, try and resync it. As a general rule, I always export my contacts to my sd before doing anything.
[Captivate General] craftsy21:
hey thanks for the response. i did not sync with AT&T, only google. But that didn't actually work I found out too late.

If I have to re-build my entire contact list then so be it, but if there's anyway you think flashing back to my old setup might restore them (or i could extract that data and import it into my current setup) - I'd much rather do that.

I just don't wanna flash if it's not likely to work.
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
What app did you back up your system with?
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Always, always, always, copy all your contacts to your SIM before you do anything like this to your phone. You might lose the formatting, but you will always have them.
[Captivate General] craftsy21:
Well, I used clockwork recovery after rooting. then i installed titanium backup and thought i made a backup of everything on my phone - but when i restored them after flashing cognition, the contacts didn't come along.

I am not sure if that's where my mistake was or not. I thought I had them backed up with my google account if nothing else, but that didn't take either. (I just got the phone about a week ago, hadn't messed around with much on it before i started playing right away)

But regardless, do you think there's anyway I might be able to recover them?
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
there is a slim chance that if you flash back to stock 2.1 and restore your titanium backup that your contacts would be there, my theory is that the differences in 2.1 contacts storage and 2.2 contacts are in a place that tb wont restore them to there correct places. someone please correct me if im wrong...
[Captivate General] craftsy21:
Thanks, I learned my lesson now. I thought I was following the procedures given all the reading I had done before starting, but I guess I overlooked this part or it wasn't specifically harped on enough. If only I had known I could be so happy right now with this phone. :o
[Captivate General] craftsy21:
If it makes a difference in your thought process, I actually installed the eclair version of cognition. The top selection on the right hand side of the ponack.net page

Although maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.... as I said, I just got my first android phone a week ago, I've done a lot of reading the last week and could very easily be confused here on something simple.
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
if you flashed the eclair version then that voids my theory.
[Captivate General] craftsy21:
Well at least that takes care of one thing. Still not sure if I should try flashing back.

I guess I don't need most of those people's numbers any longer.... :(
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
yea this is the perfect time to clean out some of those old contacts lol

I tried the vibrant (first time i left htc android phones) and i was extreamly disapointed just because of that i wouldnt :/ but thats just me
[myTouch 4G General] PolishDude:
I think the difference here would be the updates would be coming from google not samsung, hardware on my old vibrant was awesome, well except the plastic feel, its software that held it back.

Btw love the look and feel of my mt4g better
[myTouch 4G General] DarkAgent:
I am. I am a Vibrant owner transitioning to MT4G. Transition has not been smooth: Both handsets I have been sent so far have dust under the screen. Plus I really don't like the MT4G screen...
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
Only thing is the plastic build, why Samsung? :(
[myTouch 4G General] WilliamStern:
Hell no! Why would I want to leave what I have now for a plastic feeling phone? Plus, if you ask me its a downgrade. No 4G, really? This is where they lost me. Why build what most will look at as a super phone, but leave out the new speeds in 4G? I rather have 4G over gingerbread any day.
[myTouch 4G General] Lockeskidney:
biggest deal breaker for me is no HSPA+
[myTouch 4G General] ags29:
Nobody ever said it didn't come with HSPA+. I doubt that it wouldn't if it is to be such a big hit for them. I also came from a Vibrant and like everyone said, the hardware was great but the software and Samsung support wasn't.

I like the mt4G and I'll stick with it until something more revolutionary comes out. The Nexus S just looks like an iphone wannabe to me (in terms of looks). No thanks.
[myTouch 4G General] QUEDRO:
Yeah...don't jump with "No HSPA+ love"

I have to say, this looks promising, and if it has at least the specs of Galaxy S + HSPA+LED Flash+ FF Camera/Video Chat... Aaaand Gingerbread!!! THAT's the killer folks....

SUX PART for me...... my MT4G is coming in mail in the next few days.
[myTouch 4G General] jhnnyblze2000:
I would never give up my MT4G for a Samsung phone even though updates will come from Google I've been burned way to many times by different Samsung phones I've had in the past not gonna take the chance. If it was a HTC that would be a whole different ball game.
[myTouch 4G General] markjnj:
If I had know it was coming out soon I would've waited to check it out.
[myTouch 4G General] Jon C:
I'm interested, but I really enjoy this myTouch 4G.

I had the Vibrant, and absolutely loved it save for two things: the GPS/Compass problem (which was never fixed), and the lag in the OS. Besides that, I loved the screen and the media playback.

The Nexus S would have to pull some **** to woo me. I'm talking: first-party docks, physical camera button, HSPA+.

Depending on how nice Android 2.3 'Gingerbread' is, I might buy one just to play around with it, before I decide if I'm going to hold onto the myTouch 4G for a while. If T-Mo doesn't plan on updating the firmware, then that may weigh in on my decision. Otherwise, the myTouch 4G is kind of everything I was waiting for, with a little bit of stupid carrier bloat.

I read somewhere that T-Mo stated something along the lines of: '...we're not going to update the firmware unless there's a real reason to', in regards to the myTouch 4G. If that's the case, I may return it.

For now, I just want to enjoy this awesome phone. This is hard, of course, when 4-5 of the nicest phones you've ever seen leaked today. What a crazy day!
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
If the Nexus S was made by HTC I'd either be be crying my eyes out right now or be racing to the nearest t-mobile store with my MT4G all nicely packed up and ready to go (today is last day of my remorse period). I was a bit reluctant to buy the MT4G because I was really wanting a Nexus 2. Ended up liking the MT4G so much that I was quite content giving up on the Nexus 2, especially since we have perm-root. Now that I know the Nexus S is made by Samsung I couldn't be happier with my decision not to wait around.

Oh and according to the leaked BestBuy documents the Nexus S supports EDGE/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900MHz, HSUPA 5.76/7.2 900/1700/2100MHz, HSUPA 5.76/7.2 900/1700/2100. Anything missing? :rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G General] clivo360:
If this has a non-RFS based filesystem and a working GPS, it could be a nice phone.

However, the new Samsung phone coming in February looks nicer with a larger, s-amoled 2 screen and HSDPA+ but it doesn't seem to have a FFC.
[myTouch 4G General] XfooYen:
The first thing I noticed was the absence of a track ball/pad. That made cursor navigation VERY frustrating on the Vibrant. Plus, they kept that ity-bity volume rocker. I’ll bet that wee power button is positioned the same too. That made me want to pull my teeth out. I don’t see any REAL evidence of a notification LED, as the proxy/light sensors can be mistaken for just that. I shudder to think it has the same GPS and compass hardware as the Galaxy S line. The leaked spec sheet shows NO HSPA+. Same Vibrant all-plastic body too.

Without more evidence I will assume that the Nexus S is just a Vibrant with a bigger screen, FFC & LED flash. Pretty much what the Vibrant SHOULD have been on release.

Gingerbread? We’ll all have that in time. Especially on current rooted phones. Faster CPU? Doubtful. Who cares, if my above assumptions are even half correct.

Absolutely not what I would expect from something branded as a Nexus. SAMOLED is nice though. :cool: MT4G wins in my book.
[myTouch 4G General] DarkAgent:
http://www.tmonews.com/2010/11/nexus-s-specs-leaked/ Nexus S may not has HSPA+
[myTouch 4G General] damrong18:
I must say I'm definitely intrigued. I own the MT4G and I'm definitely happy with it but I am curious about the Nexus S mostly because Nexus One was considered such a good phone and I figure follow up to it has to be just as good if not better.
[myTouch 4G General] QUEDRO:
Let's not forget that G2 and MT4G is T-Mo's own branding and marketing so "T-Mobile phone = HSPA+ love"
[myTouch 4G General] jincuteguy:
Why are you guys liking the MT4G when it has dust under the screen? Should just go for the Nexus S
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
That would only hold true if both phones were made by the same manufacturer. Since the N1 was made by HTC and the Nexus S by Samsung all bets are off. For what it's worth this phone could be called anything. Just because it's called Nexus doesn't mean it'll follow up where the N1 left off.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Dude....a small fraction of every model of phone comes out with issues like these. EVERY phone I've ever owned, I've had someone complain about dust under the screen. There is not a speck of dust under my screen.
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Phil @ androidcentral is swearing this phone is called the Samsung Elite, no nexus in the name. The only thing that makes it 'nexus' is the fact that it will have vanilla android.

I will admit that I have an eye on this phone, but the MT4G has REALLY addressed all my concerns. I am very impressed with the 2nd generation snapdragon cpu. I would say the biggest difference is in the gpu.

I think Samsung is tugging on our heartstrings with this unofficial 'nexus' label.
[myTouch 4G General] allen099:
Like many here, I've had the N1 and Vibrant before I bought the MT4G last Wednesday.

Nexus was great as the first generation of "new" Android phones, but it had hardware issues. I consistently had dust under the screen, the power button stopped functioning after some time, and then my last replacement just continued rebooting. I couldn't load any custom OS, let alone even log in with the stock ROM.

The Vibrant I felt was an upgrade. No, it wasn't aluminum, but at the same time I thought the plastic felt ok. It was nice and light but still felt pretty sturdy. I had no dust under the screen but was really turned off by Samsung locking the volume keys so no access to Recovery mode. I borked a few of them because my Odin restores went bad. Also, the GPS was absolute crap and rarely locked in. Using Runkeeper was impossible because my running line would be all over the city. I was also tired of them promising Froyo since September and only now releasing. They lost me.

The Mytouch 4G is really impressive thus far..sort of. My first one dropped calls left and right. My second one was great, except after about 4 days, somehow a hair (??) got under the glass and made its way to the middle of the LCD. My third one had 8 specks of dust under it and then the retail store refused to swap any more. I ended up returning and will re-buy this weekend. I've got to say that battery life has been nothing short of impeccable on this phone. I am a hardcore (and I really mean hardcore) user of the phone. I went through two N1 batteries daily, and killed the Vibrant around 8pm. The FFC is nice to have, the rear camera is 5MP but somehow the quality is ridiculously compressed, and it comes with the usual HTC tinny speakerphone. Besides the dust and speakerphone though, I really love this device and now that it's rooted and kmobs got CM6 on it, the experience can only go up.

I can't even consider the Nexus S because I don't trust Samsung anymore. Their GPS will literally drive someone off a cliff.

Edit: You know, the one thing that really pisses me off about tech companies nowadays is that they lack Quality Control and also feel like they can ship incomplete software and patch it later. I've had bad luck with HTC phones and dust under the screen. They need to get that factory in check or at least glue the phone bezel to the glass better.
[myTouch 4G General] Kienz:
*looks again*

Yep. I've got to concur with what was said earlier. It appears to have no trackpad, no led notifications (unless those same two sensor ports from the Vibrant build now server a different purpose), and even without a lack of HSPA+/4G, I would NOT want to go back to trying to position my finger juuuust right, in order to get the cursor where I wanted it on the screen, or installing an application that makes 1 tiny multi-colored pixel appear on my screen, in order to let me know I had a missed call/text/email.

Now if it were HTC making it...
[myTouch 4G General] jincuteguy:
So when you return a phone and they refund your money back. What about the 2y contract that you signed when you got the phone in the beginning?
[myTouch 4G General] CaliCL9:
has anyone heard what the specs are on the phone itself? how fast the processor is? the ram? all of that?
[myTouch 4G General] Arcadia310:
No hspa+ support (if true), no led, no trackpad and no camera shutter button are all deal breakers to me. Having a track pad on my G2 and MT4G is a blessing. I remember typing long documents on my Vibrant was a nightmare.
[myTouch 4G General] allen099:
Since the N1 I've decided that contracts aren't worth it, so returning for me was a piece of cake when paying full price.

From my previous experience though, the contract is reversed if phone is returned within that 14 day window.
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
When I was doing research on the Vibrant prior to its release, I came across various forum posts from Behold II and Memoir owners, warning others against Samsung. As many others, I ignored those posts. The Galaxy S series were supposed to be Samsung's flagship devices, right? Why would the company drop the ball on them? Besides, look at the gorgeous SAMOLED eye candy! How can you not want this phone?

Needless to say, we all know what happened. The entire Vibrant debacle has turned me off to Samsung in general. Not only will I never buy another Samsung phone, I will try to avoid Samsung products in general. So far, I am extremely happy with the MT4G - this is the phone that the Vibrant should have been. Yes, the display is not SAMOLED; however, I don't watch movies on my phone, so it doesn't really matter to me.

Nexus S? I'll pass...
[myTouch 4G General] kgbkny:
Allen099 is correct. As long as you are within your 14 day remorse period (30 days in California), you can terminate the contract as well.
[myTouch 4G General] onyonees:
i also like that the MT4G can do wireless N at 5ghz.
[myTouch 4G General] crx4xharder:
My boy got a vibrant when I snagged an n1. He hated every moment of it. I rooted it and ran the lag fix. Helped for a while, but after a few weeks he was b@!ch!n again lol. I'm a long time htc fan! No samsungs for me!
[myTouch 4G General] cheesefrog:
There's really not enough difference between the MT4G and the Nexus 2 (or whatever its called) to warrant a switch. Not that I'd want to switch to a plasticky phone from the MT4G, which feels like it was machined from a solid block of billet aluminum.
[myTouch 4G General] jincuteguy:
How do you switch phone? Are you paying full price for the phone that's why you can switch? Or let say you signed a 2y contract to get the MT4G (for 149 for example) and it's been let say 3 months. If there's a new phone just comes out and you want to switch to it, can you extend your contract and get the new phone? (let say Nexus S for $199 with 2y contract).

Also, if you signed the new 2y contract, will it just extend it to 3 more months since it's been 3 months that you signed the first 2y contract?
[myTouch 4G General] itmustbejj:
Well you have 2 options. You can sell your MT4G on ebay/craigslist to someone that wants it out of contract and then buy whatever new phone you want OOC, or you can sell your phone and pay your ETF to cancel your contract and sign a new one for the discounted phone price I believe.

Mytouch 4G's are listed on ebay right now for between 400-500 (although I don't know why anyone would pay more than the regular price of $450). Make sure you keep your box it helps with resale value.
[myTouch 4G General] jincuteguy:
So I can't just sign a 2year contract extension and get the new discounted phone? Like let say it's been 3months since I signed my first 2year contract, so if I sign another 2year contract extension to get the new discounted phone and it will only add 3 more months to the 2year contract, will this work?

Because from what I understand is if you already signed a 2 year contract, and if you want to get a new discounted phone with a 2year contract, all it does is adding whatever time you been with the old contract and extend it.
[myTouch 4G General] Jmayes1786:
I had a Samsung vibrant it was horrible from the hardware to the software it was awful I would never go back to a Samsung phone again and probably will never buy any Samsung product ever again. Vibrant could have been a super phone instead it was a super crap phone. Samsung u let us down again. Vibrant=behold2=dead. sad but true
[myTouch 4G General] c_licious:
I went to my t-mobile store today and ended up chatting to the store manager for a bit about phones. I brought up the Nexus S and we talked about it a little and how it's not out yet etc. I mentioned how it looked like Samsung was using way to much plastic on it. He said it definitely feels a bit fragile. I'm like so, you already got to play with it??? :D Awkward pause then he said he was thinking of the vibrant. Mhm right :rolleyes:
[myTouch 4G General] allen099:
One thing I didn't know until this particular return (b/c I've never had to return a new phone) was that the 14-day return policy applies to those on a 2-year contract. For those who opted to buy the phone outright, it's actually a 30-day return! Pretty neat stuff.

I forgot who said it earlier but it was something along the lines of "I'll never buy another Samsung product." That's of course a choice and I understand it but I've gotta say that their TV's produce some of the best colors I've seen. Pioneer made some beautiful LCD's too but they're out of that market now unfortunately. But I just don't understand Samsung's logic. They keep telling us they'll fix this and that, and they don't. I sure hope they aren't kidding themselves with thinking we'll be back to buy their next iteration of smartphones.
