Looks Captivate running Froyo out of the box!!! that's a sweet ROM if our mighty developers can get their hands on it.
[Captivate General] stuff:
The hell? You realize that is just like the AT&T Captivate. Literally, the design is identical.

Why do you think that is froyo?
[Captivate General] InsaneJester17:
Not to mention that is definitely the Touchwiz UI in the picture. o.O
[Captivate General] vikdmon:
The google search bar. Eclair samsung builds don't have it like that.
[Captivate General] vw671:
Video posted has TouchWizzy all over it.
[Captivate General] skinien:
I think by "stock", he means Froyo out of the box; Not vanilla Froyo.
[Captivate General] ranjo65:
I wonder if the GPS works? ;)
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
Who is going to rip out that way sweet boot animation for us to be just as cool. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] smurfgod:
I like the boot animation...Except for it saying " Georgio Armani"
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
The people that would buy that don't have a need for a gps, so they wouldn't know the difference. They have what are referred to as "chauffeur". :D
[Captivate General] daraj:
how is that relevant to the Dev thread??
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
Yea, I was referring to that part. The animation itself isn't bad.
[Captivate General] ranjo65:
Nice! 10 chars
[Captivate General] joedon3:
Because, we can grab the ROM and pull stuff from it that we might like to have.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
a) I'm going to assume you meant stock froyo with emphasis on froyo, because as people have pointed out, that is definitely TouchWiz which is not "stock" android (vanilla AOSP).

b) the only useful thing we can really grab out of this would be the modem.bin because it likely has HSUPA

c) not development related, let's wait until we have an actual dump or device to dump before we make posts like this please
[Captivate General] mrpiggae:
I like how the Captivate model was chosen for an Armani phone. I've always felt that the Captivate was the more regal of the four models...and the least iPhone-ish (I'm looking at you, Vibrant).
[Captivate General] vikdmon:
Not Stock ASOP. Stock Samsung!! Sorry for the confusion. According to this, It has HSUPA

http://news.softpedia.com/news/Gala...ng-in-December-Priced-at-700-EUR-166591.shtml

Development related assumption was made because this post was targetted to developers to keep a look out for it. Feel free to move it if you want.
[Captivate General] Aphex13:
Maybe now we'll have an alternative choice to the tacky fake carbon fiber battery cover that we are currently forced to sport. lol
[Captivate General] DemonWav:
Its not carbon fiber, its not even supposed to look like carbon fiber dude. It's metal (real metal by the way) with a nice design on it that people see it as carbon fiber but its actually just following the way all the other Galaxy S phone's look on the back.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Not Development related.
[Captivate General] hazard96:
DEV TOOLS? SPARE PARTS?

Im confused... :confused:
[Captivate General] doctahjeph:
so has anyone asked the guy doing the unpacking video on youtube to dump the rom yet? lol
[Captivate General] ozy944:
I want that back cover!! :) :) :)

No annoyingly sharp 'galaxy s' jutting out and the vertical print pattern looks wayy nicer
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
hahahahaha! that's funny
[Captivate General] kkeo:
So what you're saying it's not supposed to look like carbon fiber, it's supposed to look like fake carbon fiber?
[Captivate General] Aphex13:
Maybe now we'll have an alternative choice to the tacky "real metal by the way with a nice design on it that people see it as carbon fiber but its actually just following the way all the other Galaxy S phone's look on the back" battery cover that we are currently forced to sport. lol

That was a mouthful...
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Good call on the google search widget, that definately indicates Froyo. This phone IS a Captivate with Froyo!
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
If it is identical hardware to the captivate (radios) then the ROM should drop right in on our phones. It would be nice to find the full spec sheet.
[Captivate General] dtran11:
can someone get that wallpaper off there its nice
[Captivate General] dtran11:
The phone is running froyo. I found a link with some specs but can't post the link because i'm a new member
[Captivate General] royale192:
Hey phone scoop has the full spec sheet

I wish I could post all the links to the phone, But it looks as if we in the Us are being shut out once again. The spec side by side to the cappy are almost identical. The h modem part and the back cover, Also Its running Froyo. :mad:

So all the BS about not being able to have a legit Froyo for us already sucks.

[Captivate General] bandaid1968:
how about a stock rom nothing done to it and flashable by odin if the armani is truly just a captivate with froyo there shouldnt be any problems.:rolleyes:

im not saying that i dont like the modified roms (im running pheonix rising),infact i love all the choices out there, fantastic job devs.:D
[Captivate General] Phoenix-Lead:
I believe Andromada has a non-themed version as well.
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
yep. simply some modified apks to bring more functionality...
[Captivate General] nooomoto:
You guys are all wrong...this is the Galaxy S successor:
[Captivate General] bandaid1968:
yes i see they do have a non themed version but what im refering to is an untouched,unmodified,out of the box stock rom ,like they have for eclair.so like i said in the earlier post if it is truly just a captivate with froyo we should not have any problems.and i am sorry if sound a little blunt please forgive me i dont intend to be and thank you for your advice. and to all devs once again thank you for all of your hard work it does not go unappreciated,if i had the extra cash i would definateyl buy you all a beer.

perhaps you missed this thread

the problem is the fact that they include a new bootloader and secondary bootloader. you run a high risk of bricking your device toying with this...ask me how i know
[Captivate General] ron_barcello:
SGH-I897 with I9010 Firmware for us in Europe?

Hi guys

@Pirateghost: I´m not shure to understand what you mean with "primary & secondary bootloader" - why it´s a risk for us to flash the firmware from the I9010 to the SGH-I897?

I use my Cappy since 6 month with the latest 2.1 OTA release (flashed with odin) without any problem here in Germany with vodafone....and are willing to upgrade it withe the I9010XXJL1 downloaded from samsung-firmware.de.to...because its official released for EUROPE with a modem.bin that should match with our frequencies and included HSUPA!

So please explain in which case this could be dangerous or brick my phone - thanks

@bandaid1968: till yet i´m searching for an update.zip to make it with CWM - otherwise with odin if someone has done it before with good experiences. I also want to use no customize ROM....
[Captivate General] Natascha303:
Ich glaube die meinen das so, du hast doch den ATT Bootlader drauf (weisser start screen) und das Armani hat einen speziellen mit Armani Logo's etc. Und wenn du nun die Armani Rom flashen willst (die besteht aus ROM + BOOTLADER), dann überflasht du den ATT Bootlader und dann gibts höchstwahrscheinlich Probleme das es nicht mehr startet.

daher wenn unbedingt Armani, dann dieses hier http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=917727&page=55

Right, right, right, right ;)

Natascha303 - please be aware that this is not a german forum therefor we should communicate in english...proposal: contact me via PM on Android Hilfe, ok?

i will flash this Armani Thing tonite, give you feedback.
[Captivate General] Natascha303:
http://andromedarom.weebly.com/download.html

Flashed via CWM over previous installed 2.2.1 (lagfix disabled)

this armani rom runs very smooth, everyone who is interested in a fast, stock like froyo rom (ver1)
[Captivate General] Natascha303:
orginal Armani, runs a little bit better (even without lagfix)

but the main advance is GPS, it holds the fixes and does not lose it. Locking time is the same.
[Captivate General] ron_barcello:
You´re right - have flashed Andromeda v1.o yesterday over my previous UCJH7 and like it - as you said - smooth and fast :)

Next step is to install JK9-Modem with CWM (update.zip) - have you made this yet? What kind of differences you see - GPS or download speed...?

Mediahub blows. I tried it once and bought a Tosh.O episode and midway through the encoding on the video was jacked up. Picture went unviewable and the player stopped. I was forced to hunt and peck on the timeline to resume after the botched section of the video.

Never touched it again after that. Besides, content is overpriced.

Thanks OP.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
This simply confirms my theory that you can give every body gold bars and some people will still complain that they didn't get silver or platinum.

I have my code and it's a nice way to get folks to try out the features. Perfect for a plane ride, or better yet, a delay.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Thank you OP. I was a little pissed that I couldn't get my $50 when I heard about this promotion. I don't care if the content is crappy, it should pass by slow nights on IT call. :)
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Good luck with mediahub, folks.

With bittorrent, any price above $0 for broadcast entertainment is overpriced, to me. I get all -- 100% -- of my TV via bittorrent downloads, and virtually always available before anything shows on commercial pay-for-media methods.

Now, with bittorrent clients available for android itself, you can eliminate the step of having to first download to your PC, then transfer to your phone. Just as convenient as MediaHub.

In fact, even more so. Set up an RSS feed from EZTV, PBay, or other torrent aggregators, and you're phone will grab your favorite show as soon as the torrent is available -- again, usually within a few hours of airing.

Finally, with tasker you can set things up to only download when there is a wifi connection, saving you from on-air data charges.

That's how I've got all this set up -- I see no reason to use MediaHub at all.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Was there suppose to be a phonecall or jsut a text message?cause I got some call which I missed from an 866 number >.> was that it?

[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
Ads = profit for companies and payment for actors = incentive for them to make more stuff.

I'll pay for media, though I am not against downloading somethings. But non the less cheap bastards DO ruin industries. "Oh its just me and my $10 bucks, they won't miss it" Eventually with enough people it adds up and they will miss it. Not to mention I personally know people who have had homes raided by FBI over stuff like that. :rolleyes:

[Epic 4G General] Xaeonis:
Ill have you know sir, that downloading TV shows online, through whatever medium, is not considered illegal filesharing. A judge ruled that sharing TV shows over the internet is the same as giving someone a VHS tape back in the day. It is not illegal and can be distributed anyway the people who record it please. Be it hard mediums or digital. Now, if one were to say download a DVD copy, THAT would be copyright infringement, but we are talking about downloading 0 day shows from EZTV - which is perfectly well within your right to do.
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
Can you provide us with the source for the ruling? I have followed this issue for a long time but never heard of such ruling.

How about uploading TV shows, which is what torrent does? Isn't it illegal to upload files, if you don't have copyrights?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
In this case he was talking about movies..which is 100% illegal..

That said I'd like to hear your source..only place I heard similar to what you said was ruled in Canada..not the USA..can you link to it?

No I wasn't. Go back and read my posting.

Please have your facts straight before you are going to publicly criticize someone, particularly if you are going to level an accusation of criminal activity. Is that an unreasonable request?
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
I am not criticizing you..I could care less what you do..its just discussion on these things are not allowed....

I am assuming it based on this:

"virtually always available before anything shows on commercial pay-for-media methods"

(maybe its a misinterpretation on my part but thats what it sounds like)

but either way its still not legal :/
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Good grief, here we go :rolleyes:

It's clear from what I posted I was talking about broadcast media. I'm not going to waste any more time arguing idiocy like this with children.

As for the legality vis a vis broadcast media, you are, quite simply, wrong. As was mentioned earlier in the thread, this was addressed in the courts, I've read the ruling. If you, or anyone else want to educate yourselves on this matter, the internet is a fabulous way to do research.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
Yes I did my research..and I could not find what he is talking about..the only article I found which sounds 90% similar to what he is talking about is a court in Spain..As far as I know, spanish law does not apply in the united states (correct me if I'm wrong) [and yes I am being skeptical...]

So can you please share your sources for this information as pertaining to the USA?

Edit: BTW here is my source for this: http://torrentfreak.com/judges-liken-p2p-to-the-ancient-practice-of-lending-books-100608/

Seems like this is one of the few english articles written on it (as its in spain)
[Epic 4G General] acegolfer:
Why can't you share your source for the ruling? If you can, everybody will shut up. If you don't, your claim is groundless.

I have done the research and couldn't find any ruling on the matter. Most of the rulings are outside of US.

Just got my media hub voucher - if someone wants it or wants to trade something for it, PM Me. I don't have 4G or home internet so this is pretty useless to me. :D
[Epic 4G General] aero1:
I had written a response to this and removed it to keep the thread from being jacked, but as it continued anyway, the answer is: it depends.

There is zero case law, none at all, criminal or civil, involving any sanction against any user for any concept such as "illegal downloading." torrents almost always involve uploading, which is sanctioned criminally and civilly, but do not necessarily. there are ways to merely download on torrents (although not easy).

And no offense, but would you say the roms and kernals here are are being used with the permission of the code owners?
[Epic 4G General] ggoldfingerd:
Yes, thanks for the post. I just received my credit. Once I get Media Hub installed, I will check it out.
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
Simple: I read the ruling sometime ago linked from a news article while surfing. I didn't save anything, not anticipating I'd have a bunch of anal-retentives hammering me about it in the future.

As for whether or not you believe me, or think my claim is groundless, care to speculate on whether I give a rat's ass?

I read what I read, and shared that here. I'm long past that youthful stage of having to "prove" everything to anyone that challenges what I say. I've claimed what I have, you are free to say, "is not!", and we'll go on from there. I haven't the patience, nor the desire to spend precious moments of my life finding this just to count coup in an internet forum.

I'm more than satisfied with my legal position on this. Since, from my POV it only matters to me anyway, I've done as much about this as I'm ever going to.

Make sense?

Got my code, thanks OP. The email seems to indicate that the credit is only good towards movie rentals, and from a pool of specific movies. Haven't tried it yet as I'm using the Syndicate ROM and need to manually install Media Hub.

BTW, can we keep this thread on topic? Why do we need to go back and forth about the legality of TV torrents?
[Epic 4G General] Geekybiker:
The credit is kinda lame. All you can do with it is rent a very limited selection of movies. I hoped I would get a couple few cds worth of music.

I have heard that android have multi-touch capablities but are not nables by the original manufactures but thre are some roms that can activate multi-touch.

Is there anyway to activate multi-touch for the LG GT540 (Optimus)?

Because if there is such a thing it would be EPIC!!
[GT540 Optimus General] themono:
Hi there Wantei -

No, there isn't a way to activate this on the GT540 - the screen hardware doesn't support multitouch. No go sorry.
[GT540 Optimus General] RDilus:
well maybe software way but not hardware wise
[GT540 Optimus General] themono:
My understanding - and I may be wrong - is that the screen simply can't register multiple touches. If that is the case, it's not something that could be unlocked in software.
[GT540 Optimus General] NIxana:
GT540 have TFT resistive touchscreen. THere are 2 types display - capacitive and resistive. The lastone cant preform multitouch.
[GT540 Optimus General] k@iserex:
There is no way software wise to activate multitouch cos hardware does not support it, as NIxana stated above, and to further elaborate, capacitive touch screen uses electrostatic field and human body as conductor to register movement or a touch, while resistive touch screen uses 2 electrical panels for registering touch gesture.
[GT540 Optimus General] djdestiny:
Nope , back when i was using the Asus P320 , multitouch was viable on it's resistive screen , mind you , i am really using two fingers , far from each other .

And there are 4 wire and 5 wire r touchscreens , the only difference is more touch points and longer longevity , 4 or 5 years .

Capacitive screens won't work with a "stylus" or neither when your hand is cold .

And they only last 2 years :)

Resistive screens are harder to produce but it's whole point are its longevity .

It looks like LG used the 4 wire because it has faster response time .
[GT540 Optimus General] max1919:
ww.jawal123.com/-695467753/en-us/asus-p320

what du mean longevity????

bollocks load of rubbish

i have a touchscreen phone that is 8 years old and thats a resistive screen so, your saying it should have stopped working 3 years ago?????
[GT540 Optimus General] xda2jojo:
Not actually "stopped" working.

Expected "durability" for 4-wire resistive ts is 3years and 5 years for 5-wire ts.

As I said, expected durabilty as per info from Mass Multimedia Inc., a Colorado-based company selling ts technology.

Got 4 himalaya since 2005 all working ts.

I got an old(2003) resistive LCD ts for our company kiosk but still working good.

Propuesta lg gt540 touch ponits

hello. Someone could modify the touch drivers to accept another point touch?

I've noticed that the LG GT540 also accepts multitouch driver level.

BUT! ! would be possible to use a touch screen using point and another by applying "gameKEYBOARD" assigned a point of touch to a physical key to optimize games.....

and using this continuous confusing points.

My proposal is to make a driver for the LG GT540 TO ACCEPT MULTITOUCH

ALTHOUGH NOT SUPPORT SCREEN. Use can be made in conjunction with physical keys.
