[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I've said this elsewhere but I'll repeat it. +1 xtrSENSE or xtrROM. They were so good that they are what remained on my phone for the longest periods of time (3-4 months) and the ONLY reason that I moved on from them is that they worked so well (i.e., reliable) that I was bored and wanted to tinker more. LOL. I'm very serious, though.

If I had to choose one over the other, I'd probably choose xtrSENSE. Or at least start with that and if you get comfortable enough with that, you could move to xtrROM later.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
I like xtrSense too. It's just fast without the extra bugs or anything. The only bug I have is the 50% cell time standby bug but I think that's dependent on the phone.

CELB most definately if you like CM and Froyo.

FroShedYo is a tie, if you want something customized/themed. V6 is my fav. Haven't tried V7 yet, but I would guarantee its stable, fast and it has the same theme as V6. Also the purple is really cool. That's what my wife is using.

Hi there folks

- I have a question.

- I used to have nokia N82 for almost 2.5 years.

- I used to download nokia maps on it and then hook it to my pc and download my area maps, then I can use the GPS Without any internet connection.

- Just to show me where I am, and the roads etc.

- Can I do some thing similar with my new Samsung Galaxy S ??

- Froyo 2.2, Rooted.

- Thank you so much. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] shubhashish:
maps(-) is the app you are looking for
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Coolman4now:
- Well, thank you sir so much, this is really helpful.

- Only problem Is : I have to view every single part of the map to cache it on my SD card.

- Isn't there any app that can download specific country whole map ????

- your help is much appreciated, sorry for any kind of annoyance. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammn:
Hello. I know I have seen this before but can't seem to find it anywhere. Can the battery full notification be turned off? Thank you in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
There's no setting that can turn it off... other than to lower your volume or put notifications on Silent.

You could try renaming the TW_battery_caution.ogg file in system/media/audio/ui that would eliminate it from being found when it tries to play the sound. (haven't tried this so it may throw an error (doubtful)... at which point you could rename it back to the original name)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoCADesertRat:
Like JoeDV says--

Go to Settings - Sound and Display - System Volume - and move the slider all the way to the left and touch OK. You will still have the visual notice, but NO sound.

If you want other sounds from the "system", this won't work for you, but I always have system volume turned all the way down. For me, it helps convserve the battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
I think you're onto something here. Rather than renaming the file, and potentially causing an issue when the system tries to call on that file to play the sound, you could REPLACE the sound file with one that contains no sound.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeDV:
Well, yeah... you could do that too. :) Good idea.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Feel free to delete sound files in that folder.

I deleted Lock.ogg inside that folder since I like the unlock noise but not that crappy tick for locking it.

Also deleted shutdown.ogg...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SargeRX8:
I upgraded my phone, via Odin, to JP5(from JG4). I thought everything was fine but I noticed that my unlock screen said sending... instead of swipe to unlock. When I hold the power button, the options there aren't in order. Pressing what looks like should put the phone on silent turns it off. Things aren't right.

When I turn the phone on, instead of saying enter pin, it says enter puk2 %@%@ VIA or some jibberish but my pin still works.

When I drag down the tab from the top of the screen, under my provider name, it says %@$%|P or something.

I don't know what to do. I flashed my ROM, flashed speedmod, enabled lagfix and rooted. Ive tried clearing the cache and factory reset with no luck. Should I reflash with odin?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Mate, first of all, don't panic

Suggest you go for another flash and see what happens. Before you do, go into recovery and wipe everything.. Cache, phone, dalvik cache, etc.

I would suggest something has been scrambled along the way. You may also need to repartition with 512 pit file.

Don't forget to remove your SIM and MicroSD card during the flashing process also.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SargeRX8:
I just tried to reflash JP5 and the phone wouldn't boot. Then Odin wouldn't detect my phone and I got the Phone ! Computer icon. I managed to get it back to JG4.

I'm gonna try JP5 again. Should I reflash JP5 with REPARTITION TICKED AND 512 PIT?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheetah2k:
Did you flash with the partition checked last time? If it failed on the last attempt to JP5 with repartition checked, then try it without. You will definitely need the PIT.

I seem to be able to flash all Froyo firmwares without repartitioning and on 803 PIT. Every phone seems to be different
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SargeRX8:
A warning for fellow JP5 users. DO NOT USE THE SGS BATTERY ICON MOD! It caused the problem on my phone! I used the JP5 icon and it still caused issues!

If only I knew, I would have just removed the mod rather than reflash.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KingKash420:
I learned the hard way today that a clockword mod recovery backup from one evo does not work with another.. unfortunately I did not use titanium backup because I thought I could just reload the backup on my new evo..

So my question is when I open the folder that contains the backup from my old evo there are many files.. can anything be restored to my new evo from this folder? I am particularly interested in my data like my work email settings and phone book

any help is appreciated thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HiddenKnight:
if you open clockwork by entering recovery and go to advanced or so, select advanced, advanced restore and choose that rom backup folder and install that file you need. should be in 4/5 seperate parts. hope this solves what you need.

Right now I've got 6 back ups of different ROMs, including a stock ROM. This seems somewhat high to me, but perhaps you guys keep more?
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
I use to backup every time before I flashed a ROM, and probably had a stockpile of like 4-5 backups. Then I realized those backups are worthless to me. Titanium Backup makes a backup of my apps and all other data is synced to some other system in one form or another.

The only reason I was making backups was because I thought I might need to revert back to one in the case of a bad flash. In reality, if I have a bad flash...the first thing I'm going to do is use Odin to restore to JF6 and try the flash again, NOT restore my Nandroid backup.

Once I had that realization, I saved quite a bit of time in my ROM flashing "procedures" since I didn't have to wait for a Nandroid backup to complete, and then move it off the phone to a desktop.
[Captivate General] boborone:
^ what he said

Edit

I think the nandriod backup is mostly best used for phones like the evo. With us, we have roms and builds and kernals and modems from galaxy s devices all over the world. Sometimes clockwork doesn't save all that to the backup, so going stock is the best thing to do before reverting back.

From a phone
[Captivate General] devho:
I've just come to that realization after a bad flash with Axura. The ROM is great, but I tried Nandroiding and doing CWM recovery and neither time did my back up work. This has happened before and I'm sure as hell glad I bought Titanium Backup. I don't regret that one bit; same goes for ROM Manager Premium.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
I back up the last 3 I used .....but save some apks from earlier ROMS. I used to have all of them but there is no point in having earlier Beta ROMS that were flashed months ago and since improved. They are ususally available online anyway.

This doesntl count the original Stock ROM and 1 click Odin.....Always need that one
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
^^this^^

So I can't answer that poll because there is no zero option. I've never had a nandroid backup work.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0412:
I am interested in understanding what each of the parameters in this file are used for. The snippet below is from the android-info.txt in a PC36IMG.zip that's supposed to 'prep' a 2.02.0000 hboot (3.30.651.2 build) EVO preparatory to downgrade to .76.2000.

modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 1.32.651.6
hbootpreupdate:11
DelCache: 0
DelUserData:0

This snippet below is the android-info.txt file in the pc36img.zip that is actually flashed after the one above and it downgrades the phone to .76.2000. (this zip also contains the hboot_0.76.2000.img file)

modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 1.32.651.6
hbootpreupdate:11
DelCache: 0
DelUserData:0

So, the questions are:

a) what part does the mainver parameter play?

b) In the above scenario, is it a switch indicating the target system build version?

c) DelCache/DelUserData are pretty much straight forward; what about hbootpreupdate? I 've seen some files with a setting of 2, 3. What other options are available.

This last one is from another pc36img zip used in a rooting process (it contains the engineering hboot build + custom recovery):

modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 1.47.651.1
hbootpreupdate:2
DelCache: 1

TIA
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0412:
Can anyone assist with some pointers here?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
The main version is the same as the firmware version. The hbootpreupdate I am not sure about though, all I know is a large portion of the people who bricked their phones trying to root 2.02 did it by flashing a pc36img.zip with the wrong hbootpreupdate setting. I spent a long time trying to help someone use fastboot and the hboot to correct it and we couldn't get it to take anything.

A lot of googling has turned up nothing and those familiar with the eng-hboot have been unresponsive to my msgs. So I am curious about this as well.

I noticed HTC changed the hbootpreupdate setting on the new RUU when compared to the old one and found out what the CID is for but that's about it.

Ver 3.29.651.5 android-info.txt

modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 3.29.651.5
hbootpreupdate:2
DelCache: 1

Ver 3.30.651.2 android-info.txt

modelid: PC3610000
cidnum: SPCS_001
mainver: 3.30.651.2
hbootpreupdate:12
DelCache: 1

more about the cid can be found in this thread:

[Partial GUIDE] flashing Images to EVO Partitions
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0412:
Thanks for the feedback; I agree -- a google search yields next to nothing significant/specific on this. It also appears the hbootpreupdate setting is key because, I did try to tweak a pc36img so it flashes just the hboot eng build -without all of the other files (boot/radio/recovery/etc) inorder to downgrade from hboot .97.0000 but it wouldn't take - this is already documented here . It only flashes when the zip has other stuff (radio, wimax, recovery, etc). My hunch is hbootpreupdate setting has a part to play but I am also not in a hurry to brick my EVO yet so...... It'd be interesting to get more info on this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xHausx:
An easier, and probably safer, way to do that would be to use the recovery. I've used the recovery flashable zip posted in the first few posts there and it worked as expected. Just flash a kernel afterward to link to it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0412:
Yes... I have used that method as well, flashing the zip and then the kernel (or ROM). I thought a 'neater' approach was to just push (adb) the pc36img to sdcard, issue a reboot to bootloader cmd .... done.

[Windows Phone 7 General] wargy2:
Has anyone else tried to connect via WiFi to another phone over WiFi shared internet successfully?

I got my HTC HD7 WP7 today for development, so no plan. I was upset to find out the inability to connect to the hidden WiFi at my work is a known/"by design" issue; however, I quickly went to my fallback plan of using my HTC TP2's (Touch Pro 2) WiFi Internet Sharing/Tethering (CM Internet Sharing). However, this did not detect either! This is not a hidden network, and uses WEP protection. The WP7 phone did successfully find and connect to other networks, so it's not the phone.

Has anyone else tried this or can anyone else confirm this? This phone would be a whole lot more useful to me if I could have a connection on-the-go, as I planned!

Thank you!
[Windows Phone 7 General] israel.lopez217:
I am posting without a lot of technical expertise/knowledge, however if WP7 is at all similar to the Operating System that the Zune HD has (I believe it is quite alike), and the TP2 is at all similar to the HTC HD2, then I guess I might have an answer.

The HTC HD2 creates a Wifi Network, which the Zune HD cannot see. The reason is the network is created as a "computer to computer" network on Windows Mobile 6, and for some reason the Zune HD cannot see Computer to Computer networks. You have a way of knowing wether your TP2 is doing the same as my HD2, by turning on the wireless connection sharing on the TP2, and then using your laptop or notebook PC, and looking at the available wireless networks and their properties. If you are using Vista or Windows 7, Computer to Computer networks have an icon right next to them showing two small computer monitors.

Let me know what you find.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wargy2:
Great point! You are correct, and that explains it and makes sense. I guess if WP7 doesn't even support "hidden" networks yet, there's very slim hope for computer-to-computer networks in the near future. Disappointing.
[HD Mini General] scantlin:
I was wondering if I need a screen protector for the HTC HD mini, since it has tempered glass screen. Also I'm afraid a screen protector would interfere with the touch sensitivity or screen visibility.

Otherwise it would surely help with all those fingerprints on the screen :P

What do you guys think/recommend?!

cya.
[HD Mini General] PopulationOne:
Yes you need one. The same day that my protector arrived I dropped my phone and put three small dings on the screen. Too bad I was at work and had not applied the protector yet.

And as for interfering with the touch sensitivity, it is not affected. The only thing you will notice it some added drag on the screen. It is minimal at most.

I bought one with my mini and I never experienced a difference in sensitivity :)

it's definitely usefull (I scratched my phone, it's not in the way but I can still remove the cover if it starts to bug me) but not necessary, the screen is quite strong and you'll have to make an effort to scratch it I think :)

just be carefull with your phone and save yourself some bucks :)
