I hope I'm posting this in the right section >___< , just wanted to know if anyone knew why my screen gets stuck on the boot screen everytime I reboot into recovery (using rom manager btw). I've flashed clockwork a couple of time and waited for awhile. Maybe I didn't wait long enough...
[Android Software Development] HeroMeng:
Well.. no. This isn't the right section. Sorry. You should post this question in your device's General section.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] kunjar:
Noob question here....

I am trying to install the latest version of Swype (v2.15.56.14870)

I have an older version which came preinstalled on my SGS and therefore is a system application. Is there anyway i can install this newer version without having to root my phone?

Perhaps the "update.zip" in recovery mode..

I've tried putting the newer app on my phone, both external sd and internal sd then trying to install with Astro. I only get the option to "UnInstall" "Upgrade" or "Launch"

If i select upgrade a message popus up with, "This is a system application. Do you still want to replace it?"

I hit "OK" then "Install" ....a few seconds later phone states, "Application not installed"

I am starting to assume that rooting is the only way to install the newer version, given that it is a system application. However if anyone knows of a method without root then please advise on correct procedure.

Thank you.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ronandi:
I think with preinstalled swype you have a swype apk in /system/app (which is why you cannot uninstall) and there's a swype lib in /system/lib. If you had root I think you can just delete these and its gone.

After that you could install the new one normally.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RambJoe:
Can you do it with ADB?
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Serikiito:
You will need to root your phone. It shouldn't be too hard to do. What phone do you have?

I don't think there's anyway around it without rooting.

What you would need to do is backup the built in Swype (Just in case anything goes wrong.) Delete the system files related to it which you would need root permissions to do. Then restart your phone. Install the new version of Swype.

I did this the other day since I got an invite to the Swype beta.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] opticalc:
Exactly what makes an I9000 be a T or B or M or whatever model?

I ask b/c I bought a 8GB model from Negri Electronics - the one with AT&T's 3 wcdma bands 850/1900/2100.

When I first got it the boot splash screen said it was a I-9000T. Kies saw it as Product code GT-I9000HKTTTT, and it looked to have brazilian pda/phone/csc firmware:

PDA: I9000TUBJG5

PHONE: I9000TUBJG7

CSC: I9000TUUBJG4

But after I flashed it to spike speedy's rom, the splash screen now shows it as just an I9000, all my PDA/PHONE/CSC versions are now at the new Spike Speedy versions, and now the Product Code shows as GT-I9000HKTXSG

Im curious b/c one of the faqs said that certain phones like the b/m model couldnt run certain ROMs, but I dont understand how to REALLY tell what base type of hardware you really have.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] luismanson:
i cant help you, but i know that if i build a kernel or use any other except the one in my rom the touch screen gets crazy

also the B has DVB-T and a antenna on the top right site
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
well idk why my computer wont recognize my phone, so odin won't either...

on my phone do i put it on:

KIES

MEDIA PLAYER

MASS STORAGE

ASK ON CONNECTION(its a option)

Which one should i put it on so i can connect to odin like before?

im running AUXURA 2.1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Set it to which ever mode you think you'll connect it to the computer in the most. I prefer the "Mass Storage" mode. However, these android only settings have no bearing on how ODIN connects to the phone. Why? The Android OS isn't even running at the time ODIN is connected to the device.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
none of them are working to connect with odin?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Yes, both ODIN / download mode ignore these settings.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaphooko01:
My old Vibrant(just warranty replaced it) used to do that on my main pc once and a while. When it did that I would use my son's lap top and it would work fine. I have the drivers and the sdk installed on both machines just in case. I always have it set to Mass storage. Also there is a way to reset the Usb drives on your pc.

Unrelated to this, does anyone's vibrant take longer than usual to mount using Mancut14?
[Android] Joeseph Mother:
Trying to edit my init.rc to mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 on boot, starting to think beating myself to death with the phone would be easier. I have followed the tutorial here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443994

And tried the alternate method listed here:

http://android-dls.com/wiki/index.php?title=HOWTO:_Unpack,_Edit,_and_Re-Pack_Boot_Images

But no matter what I do the image never repacks right, I'm only changing 1 line so the file size should stay the same, but when I repack, I get 3.5mb with splitimg, 3.6mb when trying repack-boot.img, 4.4mb when using mkbootimg, and I'm starting off with a 4.2mb boot.img. Even weirder, when I use the splitimg method, the old and new boot.img.ramdisk.gz are the same size, I use the same kernel, and it still repacks a different size than the original. Erasing everything every time to make sure no files are being overwritten. Using ubuntu 9.10. What could cause a different file size and non-booting image each time? Also, when I use the split_bootimg script on the new file, the kernel & ramdisk are the same size. So does that mean it's throwing out data not related to those 2 things, and that's what's killing it? Or is it like the Nexus, where you have to add --base to mkbootimg, and if so, where do I get the number to go with --base?
[Android] Asadullah:
Watch the video in my signature it'll help you
[Android] Joeseph Mother:
Thanks, I was already doing it right, but watching your video I decided to redownload the files you had, my mkbootfs was corrupting the ramdisk, it is a good tutorial though, easy to follow even without sound.

Hey guys. I recently installed Ubuntu on a old laptop I had. And my phone would still mount in mass storage mode for file transfer. Well Ubuntu was a little slow on my laptop so I did a fresh install of Xuvuntu to try to speed things up. When I tried to mount my phone a usb drive came up called png and would not fully mount. Any ideas on what may be causing this?

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
There are some issues with xubuntu. I would recommend regular ubuntu or linux mint for novice users. On those distros turn all settings down to minimum and it should run as smooth as xubuntu.

what is your system specs?

I'm trying to learn as much as I can because I want to help support linux users on here. I don't see a lot of support for linux on here.

My laptop is an ibm r40 with a pent 4 1.3ghz and 512 ram. So almost equal to my phone. I was a mac user till my logicboard died last Dec and pulled this ibm out. On a side note a usb thumb drive I had works just fine on this computer. I can't understand why it won't work with my phone. The only reason I switched from ubuntu to xubuntu was because my wife complained that the computer (facebook) was too slow... you can't argue with a 9 month preg. Woman so I tried to find a solution and came across xubuntu. I am deff a noob when it comes to linux but I really like the whole idea of the community and open source to further the project and don't want to have to go back to windows but it may be my only choice if I want preformance and my wife to be happy and my phone to mount...

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Lol I understand. My wife is happy with our linux machine. She didn't like it at first, but it sounds like a driver problem for you. Xubuntu does that sometimes. I'll look into it some more.

Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic!
[Epic 4G General] abmcbride85:
So I decided to go back to regular ubuntu but would like to know how to turn down some settings to get the best preformance. I know this is the wrong place but I figure I can find the right people to help

[Epic 4G General] ugmoe2000:
I'm an avid xubuntu user and don't have any problems... but if worst came to worst I would write a little script to mount the phone manually and link it to a hotkey if you use it often. Keep this thread updated with details and I'll try to help.

What does the output of 'sudo lsusb' & 'sudo fdisk -l' say?
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Ugmoe I have a question. Is there another way to install cwm besides one click script in linux? I installed a pre rooted rom and now the script doest work to install cwm. Any suggestions?

Now to OP, at the top of the screen you need to go to your system settings and find, its been awhile since I've used the ubuntu distro, its either display or performance. And set effects to none. Try that. Il get a version installed and help further.

Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic!
[Epic 4G General] abmcbride85:
You're over my head. I am brand new to linux. I am a quick learner but have just started at zero. I decided to just go back to ubuntu which I know works. Its a shame because I could tell that xubuntu ran faster. Maybe ill give it another shot when I get my wife her own computer just for her facebook and photos. I am real intrested in learning linux and have been for some time. I just have to find the right starting point and fit it in between work a wife a two year old and a new born next week...

Sent from my SPH-D700
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
What ugmoe is saying is

step 1) in the drop down menus on the desktop, look for accessories - terminal

Step 2) type in "sudo lsusb' & 'sudo fdisk -l" without the quotes

Step 3) copy what is returned from that command and paste it here please

Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic!
[Epic 4G General] ugmoe2000:
To mxcoldhit -- thanks for the translation. As far as the one click root /CWM installation I too haven't found a single script to work. What I usually do is crack-open the 'run.sh' scripts included with the one click roots and manually enter certain commands from the scripts on the CLI (or command line interface for you linux newbies :) ). I've found that option to work whenever I need to get/regain root. It also helps to boost your familiarity with what is actually going on behind the scenes.... which for me is one of the reasons I made the switch to Linux so many years ago.

to abmcbride85 -- the setting that mxcoldhit was referring to is located under System --> Preferences --> Appearance --> Visual Effects --> NONE . This will turn off any signs of compiz to go easy on your graphics card (or processor if you don't have a GPU in that particular machine). I jump around between all the different desktop environments from fluxbox, xubuntu, gnome, and everything in between. I have a certain softspot for Xubuntu though... Easier to configure and use then fluxbox with a good bit of the speed as well with just enough customization options to satisfy most of my needs. Xubuntu can be quirky though for a new user, certain things just don't work as you may expect, and unless you're determined to understand/workaround/fix those things I would recommend sticking with gnome. Hunt through your startup programs under SYSTEM --> Preferences --> Startup Applications and uncheck anything you don't use -- A little guess and check might be necessary here if you're not familiar with all the applications in there.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Thank you ugmoe, I don't think about that lol. So all ill need to do is look for the commands that install cwm and run those commands to install cwm? I haven't installed the android developer kit yet. Do I need to do that before hand? I'm going to install it later down the road anyways because I want to help the linux community here.

Edit: have you ever used heimdall?

Sent from my shoe, I mean....Epic shoe... I mean Samsung Epic!
[Epic 4G General] abmcbride85:
Kinda a side note but my phone only mounts under ubuntu if usb debug is on.

[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Thats strange. Have you ran that command yet? If not do that and paste the results for us please

[HD2 Android SD Development] vartp:
But if you're loading entire file system in RAM, it would reduce free RAM that we get after boot? How much free ram we get with it in compare to normal builds? How big entire system for android is?

Download size is 78mb, so I assume it would take about 78mb out from RAM?

[HD2 Android SD Development] DavidX_07:
few questions:

how much ram is left for running applications ?

is there all of changes made by me in system (install apps, changing settings) will save anywhere ?

is this build for normal daily use good ? Or keeping android in ram making some limitations ?
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
Ram is usually 240mb+ available after boot, don't worry about that, it's plenty! :P

Changes to /system won't be saved since android is loaded into ram. If you want to make permenant changes, you can either modify the system file in linux and rebuild the file. Or you can can create a file structure in the Android folder on your sd card and create the folders named Root, Update.

Insert the files you want changing in there and create an update script. The changes will be made upon every boot as long as you have the files stored on your SD card :D

Your settings and apps are stored to SD card, so all your changed made in Android via normal usage will be saved
[HD2 Android SD Development] Mafioso:
Don't mean to be pushy..but are there any plans of a sense version of this build :o

I don't like stock froyo much and if yes, I will hold out till its released :D
[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
No not only boot speed, the build is faster overall as it is stored in ram and not on the SD card. Therefore, your SD card will be less stressed, will have more speed available to be used when reading/writing files.

Awesome speed :)

I know that most people here have 512 Mb ROM version but...

It is possible to make a version that boot from nand?

[HD2 Android SD Development] DarkStone1337:
Hey guys, please remember that this is the first release of a build like this! I don't think native android devices have something like this either!

I have one more exam tomorrow, after this exam I will get working on both SuperRAM FroYo Sense and fixing the bugs in this build.

The robot voice bug can't be fixed without a new custom kernel, I'm really sorry about this as I assumed it was fine! That's the stress of exams for you :D

I'll get working on fixing the bugs, and hopefully upload a new update soon.

Btw, a Desire HD SuperRam build is pretty much out of the question, too much RAM space will be used up and you won't have any left! Plus the initial loading time of moving 400MB+ into ram won't be pretty either :p

Edit:

You may be able to pull it off by putting the most commonly used files in memory as hastarin states, but right now, I'm focusing on getting the entire build in memory

does anyone know how to change this build's lcd density? the app from market doesn't work, and changing the build.prop file manually doesn't work either.....
[HD2 Android SD Development] mstrk242:
The /system loads to ram as read only, any changes you make will not work on reboot.

Use root explorer, copy the build.prop (from /system) to your android folder on sdcard, under (create the folders) /root/system and put it in there. (So for example, if you have the build in folder Android, it would be Android/root/system and drop your build.prop in there.)

Now, edit the build.prop you just copied, to the changes you'd like.

Reboot.
