[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwa:
Even if you stay with ULK-based kernels, for example if you would want to upgrade to SpeedMod K9, you would still want the corruption of your /system fixed.

The fix is just a fix, not a trojan horse. After using the fix to repair your /system, you can safely flash for example SpeedMod K9, or whatever kernel you like, without running into the issues caused by a corrupt /system. (Unless you are smart enough to install a corrupting kernel again :P.)

Supercurio's fix is based on Voodoo code because that's the tools Supercurio has and knows, but the fix doesn't even apply a lagfix. So those who want to really use Voodoo, still have to install it seperately.

In my opinion there's way too much hostility in this story. Someone makes a fix, and because of that he is trying to steal your souls? Just use whatever work you like, and don't use what you do not like... Let those whose work you like know you appreciate it. But don't go calling the farmer names because you don't like vegetables. Just don't eat any :P.

Thanks jjwa.. I am going to quote this post everywhere I see the bull**** I'm seeing..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pele78:
lol

ok so in theory, from all the info i read from last night to this evening (England Time Zone)

this only affects those who wish to upgrade to K9 from K8 ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragin:
Thanks to everyone, I think you have put my mind & heart to rest. Now I can go sleep peacefully. I think I was mistaken here. Sorry.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjwa:
Or to any other kernels that use the mounting options that can potentially cause corruption. Which as far as I know, is ALL kernels, except K8 and older.

And of course some will be able to upgrade from anything to anything, the corruption is not instant, so some will not have it (yet).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ragin:
I upgraded from K8 to K9 within minutes of K9 being posted WITHOUT any problems.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pele78:
ok but why would one want to upgrade ?...is there some kind of force to upgrade law or die lol... i mean im not even on k8 or k7 etc.. so how does affect users in my bracket ?

not being funny mate, but it just seems that there are more questions than answers to the dozen.

your quick LOL

SO this is basically a migration problem between kernels.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supercurio:
Of course I disagree about the way you say it, but in the middle of this there is a valid point and I need to improve the FAQ around the /system RFS fix.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pele78:
ok now we getting somewhere in drips and drabs...

So now its not a RFS issue as stated by some top devs.. but a kernal migration issue right ?

I feel sorry for those who are also trying to find there way around, but seems as this is the only way forward...

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Yeah, i know its pre-installed on the Tab, but on their list of compatable devices, its not listed and me, bing the sily fool i am, decided to delve in and buy The Hangover only to find i cant download a Tab version.

Strange thing is, it recognises the movie needs to be for the Tab but it doesnt download.

Anyone got any news on this?

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] infamousjax:
are you talking about MediaHub? It works for me.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] GANJDROID:
Samsung Movies app. It takes you to their website where you can buy movies.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldmort:
hello ppl,

I'm planning to buy Samsung galaxy S soon but I heard that Android gingerbread is coming out soon too so I want to ask:

1-will it be better to wait till Gingerbread to be out and then buy a device that has it already? if yes how much would this take?

2-would there be a huge difference between Froyo which we can get on the Sgs and gingerbread that will worth the waiting if its long?

3-is there any chance for Sgs to get gingerbread as an official update ? or its hardware cant run it?

4-any remarks about the price of the devices that will come with it when it comes out?

btw I'm normal user and my usage isnt that heavy or needs very high specs but still if its worth it to w8 please answer the questions

P.S srry if i'm posting under wrong section or asking an already answered stuff

thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] momeesick:
2.3 (gingerbread) wont come out to SGS till next year beacause of SGS screen problem. <-------- What screen problem?!!!! :eek:

So you might aswell buy a SGS OR HTC DE HD.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riverriz:
What screen problem?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baste07:
yeah, what screen problem? and what does it have to do with the OS/Firmware?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qazz~:
lol at random comment?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravi31naik:
Wait for nexus s or whatever it will be called.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
Did i miss some news some where?

I've never heard of a screen problem on the SGS

there have been single instances here and there, but nothing major like the internal SD problems...

back on topic

1) it will depend on the manufacture, don't count on Samsung, HTC will have it out before Samsung as usual

2) is hard to say, unless we can play with 2.3 there is no way to compare it to 2.2

3) yes it can run it, and eventually it will be released just like 2.2, knowing Samsung and their horrible customer service, 2.3 will be out like on 2012, if it took them so long to release 2.2 (2010/2011)

4) prices are all guess work, there is no way of knowing until the device is advertised by the carriers
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldmort:
thanks to all who replied but can u guys plz just stick to the 4 questions i asked
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
Well, to answer all 4 at once:

GingerBread is not out yet, only speculation are made as of now.

Nobody knows if it'll be out for SGS, nobody knows what will be the Nexus S (or 2), no one can tell if it will be released to the public.

So, basicaly, if you'r waiting on speculation, you can wait a long time!

And, when it's out, another device will be rumored and will be the next best hype!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldmort:
thanks for the response

any 1 with other thoughts?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snuff96:
1) If you have the patience, then maybe wait for gingerbread. Only thing is tho, when gingerbread comes out, im sure something new will be leaked out and then you're gonna want to wait for that. Gingerbread is to be released soon i believe.

2) I think for differences on the SGS, gingerbread MIGHT not be as smooth as froyo or eclair, mainly because who knows if samsung will release an official update, or if it will have to be a ported version. Having said that, i find froyo to be much smoother than eclair (using docs bell rom V1.1)

3) I think the SGS will be able to handle gingerbread hardware wise, seeing as how the tab is supposed to get it, and the SGS and tab are somewhat similar in the hardware department

4) Prices will likely be similar to the prices of the phones that are out right now, anywhere from 300 - 600 i would say, depending on if you take the contract way or buy it outright.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvoldmort:
well so to conclude

should i wait for a gingerbread device to come and buy it or just buy Sgs now ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coolman4now:
- If I were you, I would buy the SGS now.

- Who cares if it gets gingerbread or not, its a very nice phone as it is.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Candanga:
+1

Get the SGS, its an excellent device out of the box. If you want a little monster just add Lagfix; if you want to experiment, upgrade to 2.2 and so on until you brick it and you end up in these forums crying for help :p lol jk

If you "wait" you will WAIT forever, cause when you get a device with gingerbread 2 days after you will see a new device with honeycomb. If you wait for honeycomb then you will have a dilemma with Icecream, or waffles or LOLCAKES or w/e the next release is called :)

and so on... you will spend the rest of your life "waiting" ... like a slogan says.. JUST DO IT!!

Hope that helps ;)
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Youtube through the actual site plays well (if you have Flash, of course), but the actual app terrible and usable.

Is the version in TnT also in the stock FW? Considering the device does not play Flash with stock FW, a poorly working Youtube client app will not exactly help perception of Flash being missing.
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
I wish my you tube app would play poorly, mine won't even open at all.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
What is the advantage of using the app over the website? Why not just use the website?
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
not much of an advantage really I just like to have as much working as possible. also I like the widget
[G Tablet General] rothnic:
Download the new gapps from the forum here: http://www.multiupload.com/VFDQ8Q4NC0

Youtube in that will work.
[G Tablet General] katmandu421:
It's still choppy.
[G Tablet General] xguntherc:
yea youtube was extremely choppy. My G1 played YouTube better. I wonder what the issue is. Could it be the Tegra2. I doubt it. lol
[G Tablet General] Crimton:
Finally youtube app works for me. I wiped data/cache and dalvik cache then installed lite 2.0 and the app works now.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Point is people that buy the device and use stock do not have Flash or a Youtube client. The rate of returns due to Youtube, G sensor, Angry Birds and the crapular market effort will be epic.

My guess is 70% returns by January 1, unless a Flash, Youtube, Angry Birds and market fix is in the 12/19 update.

Even if they fix it, people testing the device prior to that date will return in droves.

Surely VS is not this clueless to expect a poorly working Youtube app, G sensor messed up, biggest download game ever (for now) not working and the paid market process to not result in higher than high returns.

I am not getting this at all, so maybe I am the one who is clueless :confused:

They needed to make those things right in THIS update.
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
I agree Rushless. Supposedly Viewsonic reads this website and I hope they do. There a couple things happening here. I am ONLY buying 2 of these tablets because of the rom availability. If I was forced to keep this in it's stock form I would be buying Archos 101s. There is some speculation that TapNTap's new license agreement will stop people from producing roms. If TapNTap or Viewsonic decides to start enforcing that, it would be a huge downfall of this device.

In stock for this thing is horrible. The non-modding community will all buy Archos 101a or a 7" tab. The hardware on this is the best hardware available at this time. The software sucks in stock form and the non-modders will be returning it in mass. Good for us. We can buy them cheap, update the roms and sell them on ebay!

Anyway, Viewsonic are you listening? Do something about this software. This is NOT a device for the masses and you will lose marketshare to Archos because of it. However, us modders love it, as long as you don't stop us from modding.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Cache issues seem to be the thing that some have pointed to. The app works fine after I initially wipe my device / create a new mod. But after a short time it gets all choppy. Something strange is going on.
[G Tablet General] rushless:
TapnTap is simple to take care of: Get rid of it! :) The Tap interface is HURTING the device in performance and sales, not helping.

After experiencing the power and speed of Tegra 2 and the game performance for TigerMAME and PSX (NOT the 1.7 version), I can never go to a 3630 or lower chipset now.

Gtablet or another Tegra 2 without TapnTap will be the way to go, IMO.

All VS has to do is release a plain 2.2 with their mapping and basic UI relationship to their hardware. I wonder who talked them into this horrible interface? Must be a friend or relative for someone in Viewsonic ;) :eek:

update:

The friend or relative angle kind of makes sense, since nothing else really does.

Roebeet needs to freelance for VS and get this done right!
[G Tablet General] rayden25:
Let's just hope these EULA concerns subside and we still get great roms from Roebeet. All these EULA concerns today has me worried development on these forums will come to a screeching halt! Then this device is useless to me. Well I downloaded TnT Lite 2.0, so even if it does stop. I have the rom! LOL!
[G Tablet General] HorsexD:
Yeah mines choppy too. Video quality isnt the best. Maybe lack of resolution support. Laggy as hell somtimes too. Some vids are fine. Just not super clear like on phones.
[G Tablet General] insight3fl:
I confirmed again afger loading tnt 2.0 that it works fine immediatly after clearing dalvik cache
[G Tablet General] akodoreign:
Guys try this download overclockwidget from market, user defined frequency 1000000 , save Max 1000000 min 500000 then try YouTube app runs smooth for me I personally think the YouTube app sets the CPU speed to 200 lol
[G Tablet General] boostenmkiv:
installed overclockwidget and set to suggested settings and still had same amount of lag. Wiped Dalvik cache and tried again...worked perfect! Seems like we need to figure out why the dalvik cache needs to keep being wiped to make this work.

On a related note, i've noticed that using the movies app by flixter, you cannot watch the movie trailers....any ideas? video type not currently supported??
[Android Software Development] 1+9+8+7:
When I run the android emulator, using the Android 2.2 - API Level 8, by issuing from cmd emulator -avd test (test being the emulator name) I am not given root access. If I open terminal emulator and issue the SU command i recieve permission denied.

I thought the emulator was meant to run in root access?
[Android Software Development] SysAdmin-X:
I wish someone else would shed some light on this as well. I feel like I have been able to gain access to root, using the su command, but I cant remember as it has been a few months since using the emulator.

[Android Software Development] djencounter1200:
ANy update on this topic?

Hey guys, could anyone fill me in on how to get root in the emulator?

Does anyone knows the answer for this?

I tried chaining the commands, but still not working

[G2 and Desire Z General] FinalJenemba:
Hi all, iv seen a couple posts recently about the tethering block. I haven't read through them all so im not sure if this info has been posted yet so ill post it just in case.

This comes from my T-mobile rep who overseas all of Florida and part of Georgia (im a Radioshack employee). Basically you have 100mb of free tethering every month. When you get close to the 100mb you get a text, when you hit 100mb they redirect you to a page telling you to buy tethering. They can tell if you are tethering or not based on the type of browser you are using. So make sure your phone browser is set to "Android" or what have you.

This seems pretty reasonable to me, if you just want to check email or whatever on a vacation they aren't gonna force you to pay just for that. But if your gonna be a data hog they charge you, but only half what sprint does. And I like that they are implementing this without any kind of tethering "app" like sprint, they're just letting android 2.2 do its thing.

The only thing I don't like is that you can no longer set your phone browser to "desktop" mode, but I don't really see how else they could do it?
[G2 and Desire Z General] hnau:
squid proxy in tminus...
[G2 and Desire Z General] dhkr123:
Squid won't help. It's a pure proxy, which won't do anything. PRIVOXY will do the job though, not only is it lighter, it is designed for this.
[G2 and Desire Z General] misconcepti0n:
Thanks for the insight.

So you are saying if you set your user agent on your browser on your phone to "desktop" they automatically classify it as tethering? That is bs. There has been talk in a few threads of user agent spoofing when tethering, which sounds like it is still a viable alternative to tethering without tmobile knowing.

I for one do not appreciate not being able to browse the full internet on my phone without getting cut off due to tethering. I do not mind viewing some web pages in mobile view, but many just are not the same. Doesn't this also defeat the purpose of having flash player support?
[G2 and Desire Z General] hnau:
wrong. header rewrites are possible in squid.
[G2 and Desire Z General] acis:

[G2 and Desire Z General] g_grey:

61 gigs? how the hell did you mange this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] imblacklife:
So I can still download my torrents in peace...cool
[G2 and Desire Z General] gteye:
I don't find it reasonable at all.

It's their company and if they want to block tethering that is their business but blocking people who are using their own phones because they are not using the android user agent is ridiculous.

I realize it's the "easy" way for them to do it but that doesn't make it right nor should we accept it.

Our phones no longer require a "mobile" browser so why should we be forced to be redirected to mobile sites?

As far as any other way to do it, they could write code to do it, sure those of us that root and flash would get around it but their aims are to stop the masses from tethering and getting some revenue out of it.

It's not really my concern how they do it, I just know they shouldn't be allowing people to write custom applications, such as browsers and then telling them oh yea, sorry you are blocked for thethering when you aren't tethering.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hotshot205:
Well that sucks
[G2 and Desire Z General] xencor:
While I fully agree and I think Tmo is just taking the easy way out here, it's also worth it to recognize that

is more of a problem with website programmers automatically redirecting Android phones to mobile sites instead of giving us the default page. Tmo doesn't have anything to do with how those websites react to different UAs.

It would be nice if there was another user agent that Tmo still recognized as a mobile phone, but websites recognized as a desktop. That way we wouldn't have to piggyback on the "desktop" agent.
[G2 and Desire Z General] raduque:
Mmmm, what tethering block?

Been going strong for two weeks (not continuously) on both my lines - no texts, no blocks, no nothing.

Edit: In fact, I'm typing this message tethered on my G1 through USB.
[G2 and Desire Z General] smithfb3:
That might be the trick. Tether using the G1 only.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Orite:
I find this to be total crap to be honest. I tether nearly every single day with stock wifi tethering app with no message , text, or redirect. I'm on a rooted G2 using different roms everyday. I use Chrome with stock everything on it also.

Has anybody notice that the swype keyboard dos not go to full screen.

This only happens on the att tap.

I played I mean tested Tmoble & VW tab and both worked correctly.

I call Samsung and they told me that the att tad has an older version of swype on it and that I should return it for a new one, but all the ones I tried from att have the same problem. Att gave me a full refund.

If I reflash the tab will the swype keyboard work in full screen?
