DONE, must apply user and password or else Invalid argument immediately.

Thanks for 2.1 modules.

Anyway, any update for the 2.2 kernel? JPA seem stable enough to move on!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] precurse:
I already tried building modules against the Froyo source from the i9000 Galaxy S.. It contains pretty well all the drivers needed by the i5800, but has some custom modifications that doesn't allow the kernel to be built on the i5800..

However, the modules build find against it and it's the same Kernel version as we're running..

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10181262&postcount=56 is the post about what I've encountered so far.

Can you also build ext2 modules for Eclair when you have a chance? Some people would like it for the lagfix. I would, but I'm stuck in an office for the next 12 hours.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kenblat:
Thanks for you guys efforts... cifs.ko make the phone become a real movie BOX in-hand :D
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] kenblat:
when waiting for 2.6.32 kernel source for cifs.ko combined so do we have any hope for NFS support @ i5800 (on Froyo 2.2 JPA hybrid)

As above, I've pestered them by mail and FB lately and skins are finally available. Unfortunately, the German store doesn't have them yet (cheaper for me in the UK and faster shipping) but hopefully will soon.

I'll likely buy one tomorrow, just need to decide which...

It would also be cool if you could just buy the back as I might not use the front skin.

[Galaxy Tab Accessories] Greenarcher707:
I made my own design and got 10% off. nice.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] blackheart2925:
Well I bought a skinit. Which seems slightly thicker than gelaskins and hence easier to apply...however skinit does not provide side cover, only front and back...:-( have gelaskins before on my PS3 and they were a pain to apply! Got all stretched and wrinkled...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] mudstuff:
Each to their own. I found the Desire gelaskins i bought very easy to apply so these should be a cinch. I made a custom one earlier from one of Daim's images.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] orenxda:
Yes the gelaskins material tend to stretch a bit and that can be annoying looking for precision. When sticking, don't try to "pull/unroll" on the surface, but rather apply/deposit. Don't know if it's clear :p

The one I applied didn't fit perfectly the side with buttons & card access so i had to make a lil wrinkle to do so. I may have stretched it 1 millimeter...

I applied the front above the Antiglare screen protector.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] saayinla:
That looks really cool man...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] mudstuff:
Looks good, I'll. Have to post some pics of mine. I haven't put the side bits on. I also have a wrinkle on the front where it stretched. A real pain to fit over a screen protector as that kept lifting as i tried to really the skin. The back skin could be bigger too as there's a white outline all the way round.

Still looks pretty good though.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] orenxda:
Also note that unsticking to refit will also strech the sticker. So better care on first attempt.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] jay_jay_n:
wow nice!! i want to try this but daym 1 try is scarry

so how strong is the protection kinda scared from going from a gel case to a skin.

and is it hard to apply? did you guys use any soap water etc?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] mudstuff:
They're easy to apply, it just stuck to the screen protector and gave me grief. My desire one was easy and i removed it and reapplied it with no problems. If you're not using a screen protector then it'll probably be easy on the tab too.

Those are sick.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] roth140:
Can you remove it cleanly? Id want to switch them every once in a while.

Very good looking tho.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] orenxda:
It can be removed cleanly for the tab, no residue, and the sticker is strong enough so it won't tear up. But switching often, I don't think so. From what I seen, the sticker will stretch as you pull to unstick, especially the narrow parts: sides/front. So even taking great care, IMO it will be hard & long to put back cleanly.

Subject: Your Galaxy Tab GelaSkins

Hi There!

If you've received your Galaxy Tab GelaSkin, you've probably noticed there's something wonky with the top and bottom artwork. You were probably like, "What's up with that, GelaSkins? You're normally so awesome!". Well, we've realized our mistake and we're sorry. Like, reeeeally sorry. We're going to send you out a brand spankin' new skin with the correct artwork orientation and hope for your understanding. We love you.

xoxo

us

I bought 4 to get 1 free in mid december.

So, I don't really understand what they mean by "wonky... top and bottom artwork...orientation". Sure I noticed all the edge stickers didn't really "match" the back and front design, but holding my GT it in a case that didn't bother me that much.

In some designs that does not even make a difference as they're one color.

Well, GelaSkins fixed the mistake, and are sending me 4 skins for free without even asking...

Awesome... If you bought yours early, you're probably in that case.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] mudstuff:
Thanks for that, I'm going to email them and see if they'll do that for me as mine is wonky and they emailed me a low res wallpaper, less than the res of the tab!

i havent can we have some flashing instructions? maybe a feature list? screen shots??
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] infamousjax:
What is this? It looks super sketchy.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Why the suspicion folks, it just looks like an RUU to me ? i.e. an exe (since that what an RUU is) that you run, not a ROM image that you flash from SD card.

Looks like it has the newest radio to date, might be worth extracting that and flashing to see if it helps us all even if we don't use the ROM itself ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] bobtentpeg:
Not to mention, the OP is respected and known to be a provider of new RUUs as they come out. Theres nothing suspicious in the presentation of an exe. And I doubt that Football would knowingly endanger anyones phone

ro.build.fingerprint=htc_egypt/htc_vision/vision/vision:2.2.1/FRG83D/296731:user/release-keys
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] The Great NY:
anyone try it yet?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Stryder5:
Why don't you try it out?

How does this work exactly? Just run the exe then it extracts the contents somewhere?

If eViL confirms it's legit, then sounds like it's good.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Yeah, if you run the RUU but just leave it at its first window (don't press anything), then you can go to your temp folders under Windows and you'll find it's extracted the ROM PC10IMG.zip file from the .exe and stored it in that temp area. Within that will be various stuff including the radio image.

I actually don't know for sure how to flash the radio, no-one seems to have posted up a method yet on these forums (probably use fasboot to flash it ?), this may well be because we haven't really had any new radios to try. But to me, this one looks like a signifcant enough change number-wise to give it a go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] SN4K3B1T3:
Won't it unroot and s-on if you flash it?

Sent from my HTC DesireZed
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] kingjavi:
I will try this out. Sprint Hero used RUU's and was succesful. Problem I see is that in my experience after using and RUU to flash it usually destroys your root or your ability to root with conventional methods. Im I wrong? And Do you know what the Egypt might possibly stand for? :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
This one is not ment for random noobs to flash, but for devs to grab new/updated stuff from e.g. the radio as mentioned.

DONT FLASH THIS IF YOUR NOT FAMILIAR WITH RUU AND WHAT IT CAN CAUSE, ITS NOT A COOKED ROM ITS OFFICIAL!!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
It won't be rooted since it's a stock ROM. Not sure about S-OFF since that's set in the radio config partition assuming you used gfree.

It is not safe to flash if you only have S-OFF via the eng hboot.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Vulgrim:
This RUU is legit. RUUs come in .exe form. If you happened to check the HD2 forums they use RUUs as a way to root the phone and flash a custom wm6.5 rom
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
Is it just me or is half the HTC Vision/DZ community complete noobs to the android system? RUU's have always been .exe's - they are official ROM's released by htc. They do not require root (in most cases) to install. There is nothing weird about it. Man, I don't remember people this infantile in the Hero forums.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] recasper:
Not to perpetuate, but there seems to be an awful lot of hostility after Football posted a RUU. Especially in regards to the tweaking of someones quote.

Come on fellow XDAers let's hold back those irritations we bring in from a hard days work and look at this logically.

Thanks for the RUU upload, Football, let's see what the devs do with it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rhcp011235:
Why doesn't someone post the extracted files and stop all this malware nonsense?

Just an idea.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
Aren't ruus always exe files? Well from my experience all ruus I've encountered since the htc desire have all been self extracting exes. Thanks for the rom football.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Sleef:
Sound advice. For me, at least. I think I've proven that I'm misinformed, at the very least.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dalamak:
Lot of my older htc devices I used ruu to change roms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ~~Tito~~:
Is this a Sense ROM for the DZ? Or a Stock ROM for a Egyptian branded G2?

An RUU is a proprietary flashing utility that HTC uses to flash things to their devices.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
It is a Sense ROM, I believe the G2 ROM RUU's display Vision_TMOUS in the filename sequence.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
I wonder if flashing this new radio on mine would improve signal and wifi reception since it's 12.28e vs 12.28b of euro/asian. Also the software is 1.72 compared to the euro and asian ones which are 1.34.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
do you know how to extract the radio.img from the RUU? I'd love to get my hands on it too!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] prinzhernan:
Okay I tried the Egyptian RUU. It's speedy, and the lag is reduced specially in the Sense interface. The kernel version is a 01 Dec 2010 version and software version is 1.72. I'd seriously use it however it doesn't have Android Market and the HTC Market though it has hub. Bummer. Very solid fast build though.

P.S. I've tried getting market on it but it keeps on crashing even with the new market released.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
I'm in the process of extracting just the radio.img from this rom, if that is what you are after.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
AS promised, here is the extracted radio Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17 as radio.img for those who are interested in flashing it. File must be flashed through fastboot in bootloader. *Please do not attempt if you don't know how*

Just to be sure, you're saying DO NOT flash this via recovery?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] JPHCCFC:
what radio were you using before tookewl? what percentage improvement are you recognizing and will this radio work with the Bell/Fido and Rogers network bands?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jzhyok:
Flashing this RUU will unroot your phone. also wipe your Recovery

I tried the gfree method in Wiki and VISIONary r14, UNABLE TO ROOT this ROM, hang on a black screen with status bar.

No Market in this ROM.

I ended up with flashing back to 405.5WEE ROM, root, install ROM Manager then go back to my origional ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
I was using 02.26 prior to flashing this rom. With that radio I noticed battery life would drop significantly even when the screen was off. With this radio, I have been able to maintain only 10% battery life decrease in the last 7 hours, with moderate usage. I am on Rogers and haven't any trouble connecting to the data network. I may be imagining it, but it seems like the baseband from this rom also increases the overall performance of the device; it feels much more responsive and haven't noticed any slow downs that I was experiencing with the 02.26 radio.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Flashing any stock ROM is going to unroot your phone and wipe your recovery, because the ROM you're flashing isn't rooted, and it will contain a stock recovery too. It should leave S-OFF the same though.

I would suggest using rage to attempt to root it, I think that has a much bigger chance than the highly unreliable (IMHO) Visionary.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tookewl4skewl:
Vision_RADIO_12.28e.60.140f_26.04.02.17

I have recompiled the radio from this ROM into a flashable .zip, to avoid having to do the fastboot method.

You can now flash this radio using Clockwork Recovery using the install from .zip feature. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a backup before flashing, the radio may not be an improvement for all (even though I've experienced nothing but positive results) and if you want to return to your old radio, you will either have to use fastboot method to flash your old radio or do a restore from a backup.

Rage method didn't work( from this page http://xdaforums.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Vision#Rooting_the_G2 )

I flashed the Radio from this ROM.

the 3G speed is unstable and even slower than my stock one due to some speed tests

I will try this radio for a day and see if it's worth flashing
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
What error messages did it come up with though, where did it fail exactly ? Rage will certainly get temp root ok. Then it's just if the write protection patch works to enable you to get permanent root.

gfree's method of disabling the write protection for S-OFF and permanent root works the best.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jzhyok:
Using Rage:

following the steps of "Terminal Emulator Force close"

I relaunch it, it should get a root shell.

However it gives nothing but a black screen. and no response

Using VISIONary r14:

Click try to temp root, it shows something like "trying to temp root" with the Visionary icon, like 10seconds it gives a black screen too. and no response
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Did you successfully get the messages from rage when you launched it, i.e. the last one that says "forked xxxx children", where "xxxx" is a number ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jzhyok:
yes I got it.

Before the relaunch step, it's all ok
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
ok, so you got that message, then you did a reset of terminal emulator, right ? Then it force closed on you ?

Which terminal emulator program are you using from the Market ? Is it the one called "Android Terminal Emulator" by Jack Palevich ?

Sorry but I have to go out in a couple of minutes, so hopefully someone else can help you before I get back online much later.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jzhyok:
Since there is no Market on Egypt ROM, I downloaded "Android_Terminal_Emulator_1.0.4" from a website, and it is the one by Jack.

Anyway I'm not using that ROM now, nor planing to use. Just tested its Radio and find it slows my 3G speed down..... back to stock radio

I currently have a semi bricked TMO G2, what are the odds of using this RUU to get a functional phone so I can root and eventually get back to stock (or CM 6.1, or whatever)?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
Don't run this ruu... it's harder to root than the others/older floating around here...
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] rmk40:
Are you basing this on Superuser not working properly? If so, I have a fix for that which I'll make available soon and am working with ChainsDD to fix it. It actually has nothing to do with this ROM being more/less secure.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Novek:
Nah, I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen some reports about it's not rootable the same way as the earlier "officials"... :)

Just trying to tell the flashaholics that this actually is just another official ROM, that you guys can make wonders with. Would love to cook for android myself, but it's not as easy to get into as the WM-world.. :P

To fix Superuser with this ROM, push my modified libandroid_runtime.so /system/lib, and then wipe data/cache:

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15034469/libandroid_runtime.so

Here are the technical details for anyone interested. In this most recent version of Sense, HTC decided to utilize a new sqlite 3.7 journaling mode called WAL (write-ahead logging). This is actually a smart decision on their part, as WAL should actually improve performance for us. Problem is, Superuser runs within Android's Java stack and "su" does not. So, Superuser accesses its' own database with the new journaling mode and su attempts to access the same database without it, which fails. My patch just reverts HTC's use of the new sqlite feature to behave like previous versions.

I'm working with ChainsDD to fix Superuser/su. In the meantime, my patched library is the only way you're going to get it working.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] chchia:
thanks bro, will wait for your new ChainsDD before i am going to install this rom.

by the way, appreciate if you can guide how to use ADB to push yout runtime to the phone, i am totally a noob when it come to adb and linux.

Nice, I might have to tear this one apart! Thanks man!

I have S-Off, rooted, and ClockworkMod 2.5.1.3 installed.

trying to install your radio, it show successful message, but after restart it still showing the previous baseband version.

can you please confirm is this stripped rom can be installed on my system? attached is my current system information, although it is in chinese but i believe you should be able to understand it.

thank you.

Doing Back to back speed tests to see if there is a difference

Considering I only did one 'test' for each one the results won't be very scientific... probably should have done three or four of each one and averaged the results. :rolleyes:

Phone is a G2 running cyanogenmod 6.1 on T-mobile in Boston

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] faylix:
why infamousjax no backup before he flashes something as fickle as a radio not specifically made for our devices?

also, i'm interested why you would see a speed decrease when I would see a speed increase.. unless my stock test was just unreasonably low.

did you run speed test back to back or is it just a feeling that your 3G/4G (you mean HSPA? or are you on sprint?) is slower?

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] infamousjax:
I can do a nandroid backup, but I'd rather just flash the older radio because it's easier. Also, Sprint is not GSM so these phones don't work on their network.

I have a tmobile g2 and it seems that it's just a little bit slower... I'm going to test it and see how it does with battery life and speed a little more before I switch back... but those were my initial thoughts.

May be network traffic had an impact...
