[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] livethemoment2:
It's quite simple really.

First off, search! And read (a lot) so as to make sure you understand what you're doing so that everything you do may be reversible.

Click here -> Click me! This is the first place to start.

Make sure you read over the "Reference Materials" and "Android Loaders and Bootloaders" section. That should give you a good head start on getting Android installed.

I am by no means an expert :p but if you have questions, ask away. I can attempt provide answers to the best of my knowledge and/or refer you to where you can find the answers yourself. All in all, user the search feature - it's a life saver ;)

Goodluck!

I just tried to flash a theme to my rooted evo CM6.1 RC2, and it ended up giving me bootloop. I cleared my cache and my dalvik and I tried to reflash the theme. Still bootloop. I factory reset and still get bootloop. Help would be appreciated. Any ideas on how to fix?

[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Just been using my DHD under bright light and realised that I too have the gaps at the edge of the screen that some are talking about. Thought I had got away with it until now.

Seems the build quality of these things is pretty poor considering the price - I can easily fit the edge of a piece of paper in that gap ... not good.

Wondering if this will have any damaging effect on the phone in the long run?

Anyone who says they don't suffer from this, look closely (if you dare) under bright light. I didn't think mine did too until now!
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
so I'm the only one or you guys are just too scared to look in case you have this issue... which is it? ;-)
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
im fully aware of my problems but i can live with them... perfection is impossible, the build quality isnt that bad... but i can understand that other peoples expectations are a lot higher.

have you tried a warranty call?
[Desire HD General] Andy:
I don't have these gaps. It's as flush as it should be.
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
thing is though, i dont have that annoying sim cover gap, but i have a slightly loose screen, but its not an issue if you get what i mean.
[Desire HD General] xspyda:
Loose screen?! Not an issue for a £450 device? You must be very tolerant ;-)
[Desire HD General] Andy:
I know what you mean. I think, I just got lucky. No proximity sensor issues, no INIT lag, no SIM cover gaps, no screen gaps. There had to be someone who got one!
[Desire HD General] fkofilee:
yeah i pretty am... besides that it has a 2 year warranty :) and if anything happens i can let HTC know and they can sort it out... mind you the camera on the device moves inside the case but hasnt gone so far down that i cant take a photo :_)

I tried the 3G VZW data roaming hack and it was great...

I use CM 6.1 and occasionally use the forced roaming setting, but it only allows 1x data.

Is there a way to apply the 3g data hack to the forced roaming setting only? I mean, i want to keep my prl with sprint and when i choose to use vzw data (i.e. forced roaming in CM) get more than 1x...just like the hack???

the best of both worlds... anybody know how this can be done???

also, i am aware of MrGreg's apk RoamControl...but this only enables 1x data (I am looking for full 3g like the hack)

I was just wondering, what does 2.3 do exactly for gaming on Android? Please give details. I've noticed that compared to the iPhone app store, Android games do not compare. Is 2.3 going to make a difference and how?

Kinda new to android ive always had apple I picked up the galaxy tab... Was thinking about rooting it but it runs pretty good stock... My real ? Here is what does gingerbread mean I hear about 2.3 something gingerbread? Thank you
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mindwarp1571:
Gingerbread is a new and better version of Android OS. If you search and do your research You will find that developers for this OS are calling different names of desserts as codenames for the different releases, like 2.2 was froyo for "Frozen Yogurt"

As one web site states...

The code name of the operating system (OS), Android always use desserts and has become his trademark. Why?

The names of the first Android operating system since its launch from the Cupcake (Android 1.5), Donut (Android 1.6), Eclair (Android 2.1), Froy (Android 2.2), gingerbread (Android 2.3), and special tablets OS, honeycomb (Android 3.0.)

New operating system will soon be the next version is Ice Cream (Android 2.4). Which is why Google uses the name of the dessert? Internet giant refused to explain.

Google spokesman said Randall Saraf to give the names were the result of internal decisions and Google choose to perform a little magic in this.

"When the new Android platform was released, carried the names of the desserts. Most of the alphabetical order," he said.

Another peculiarity Android operating system to use the name of the dessert, the names have the initials in alphabetical order, ie, Cupcake, Donut, Eclair, Froy, gingerbread, honeycomb, and ice cream."

About gaming, lets use windows as an example, first version of the OS (win95, 98) weren;t so good with games or tasks intensive apps, but in the latest versions this has evolved a lot... this is the same for the Android OS...

[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
The 30+ hours are on custom 2.1 rom/kernels.....since 2.2 was a leak there is no source code for the devs to tweak to get insane battery life. But, for me, froyo has given me about 20-30% better battery life vs stock 2.1 and since custom 2.1 roms pretty much doubled my battery life so if they can do the same for froyo it will beawesome

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
have you tried using any of the apps on the market that deal with cctv cameras? unfortunately I have not so I cannot offer an opinion on which works best but maybe someone else here has?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harold50:
The 3GPP server built into EZ Watch Pro 4.0 is designed to allow devices such as mobile phones which do not have ActiveX Support

the ability to view cameras remotely. It uses a combination of three cellular features to be able to view cameras:

 A phone should be connected to a 3G network in order to ensure sufficient speed of connection to view the cameras.

 A phone must support the 3GP video format, as this is the format the video is transmitted in.

 A phone must support RTSP, or Real-Time Streaming Protocol. This is the method of transmitting data that the 3GPP server

uses.

I have a program that will play 3gp on captivate,but im not sure that the phone it self has the OS for this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:

[Galaxy Tab General] alterbridge86:
Hey Guys -

First off thanks to everyone helping with development on our Galaxy Tabs. I've just got mine earlier this week and I have been loving every minute of it. Anyway, being the tinkerer I am, I decided to flash JM6 to my device a few days ago. What a world that opened up. The rom was awesome - so much better than what I had on my stock T-Mobile tab.

I noticed a new thing called "Samsung Apps", which when I clicked on it insisted that there were no apps available. Reading around I noticed that it seems that what Samsung Apps will offer you is based explicitly off your CSC code.

If you flash JM6 with the CSC file it came with, you actually get a Multi-CSC although it is defaulted to KOR (Korea). Apparantly the Korea CSC doesn't have any Samsung Apps available to it.

So in researching I found out that you can actually change your CSC, presuming you have the Multi-CSC flashed through Odin, from the phone menu. Follow these steps to make the change:

WARNING: Changing the CSC does a factory reset on the device, so ensure you have all your apps and system settings backed up!

1) Open the dialer

2) Dial *#272*imei# (replace 'imei' with your devices' IMEI number)

At this point you'll have a listing of all available CSC's on your device. If you have the Multi-CSC from JM6, you'll see a listing of these:

Thanks to manniakk in the I9000 forum for defining what the initials stood for. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=779580

XEF - France (Orange F, F SFR, BOUYGTEL, NRJ (SFR), Virgin, Tele2, Auchan, Carrefour, NRJ (ORANGE), Orange (340 01), Orange (647 00), Debitel, Leclerc, Digicel)

XEO - Poland (Plus, Era, Heyah, Orange, Play)

XEU - UK & IRE (O2 UK, Orange UK, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone UK, TESCO, BT Mobile, H3G, Asda, O2 IRL, Vodafone IE, Meteor, H3G IE, Tesco Mobile Ireland)

KOR - Korea (SEC Test)

ITV - Italy (TIM, Vodafone, WIND, H3G)

DBT - Germany (T-Mobile D, Vodafone.de, E-Plus, o2 - de)

CPW - UK & IRE (O2 UK, Orange UK, T-Mobile, Virgin Mobile, Vodafone UK, TESCO, BT Mobile, H3G, Asda, O2 IRL, Vodafone IE, Meteor, H3G IE, Tesco Mobile Ireland)

I switched from KOR to CPW, which gave me the following four apps in Samsung Apps:

Vlingo Words to Action

Radio Companion

blinkx Beat

Need for Speed: Shift

I didn't experiment with any of the others, so I'm not sure if they would yield you a different pool of Apps...all I was really interested in obtaining was NFS:Shift (which was 100+mb by the way...but DAMN it looks good).

I hope this makes it easy for some of you interested in getting access to the admittedly small pool of Samsung Apps.

Any questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to help you!

[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Interesting, thank you.
[Galaxy Tab General] alterbridge86:
I am in the US, my tab is a T-Mobile tab. It is very possible to access Samsung Apps :) Changing your CSC to a supported one (such as CPW) will give you them.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Just out of interest, it would appear that a JJ ROM does nothing when this is entered, not entirely unsurprising if the ROM only has data for a single CSC.
[Galaxy Tab General] Beerkan:
Thanks alterbridge.

In my haste to upgrade my ROM to JH6, I forgot to backup my installed Samsung Apps. Now I get back my Asphalt 5, AND Need for Speed.

Bell Tab on JMA. KOR --> CPW yielded 4 apps for DL including NFS: Shift. Haven't tried it yet but that is pretty sweet...
[Galaxy Tab General] jnutz:
I have a T-Mobile TAB in the US and it is flashed with JMA. When I enter the code the only option I have is KOR and the only app available in Samsung apps is blinkx Beat.

If I am flashed with JMA full which I am then why is KOR the only option I have? BTW blinkx Beat just showed up like yesterday and I have been on JMA now since it was posted on samfirmware like back on the 5th or something..

I have JM6.

I had a couple of problems with formatting trying to get to JMA, so went back to JM6 because I knew it worked.

But then Samsung Apps and Readers Hub stopped working with many problems.

I just did what was suggested on here and changed to CPW as one of the options and....wow....everything working and 15, yes 15!!! apps in Samsung Apps, some of which I have never heard of.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy Tab General] martincm:
Did you have the problems that Readers Hub didn't update?? Because I have upgraded to JM6 (coming from JJ3), changed the CSC from KOR to XEU, 4 apps showed up in Samsung Apps app, but still Readers Hub force closes when it tries to update Pressdisplay, Zinio and Kobo.

Then I tried to change from XEU to CPW, no additional apps added in Samsung Apps, still 4 listed as on XEU csc, and in addition still force close on Readers Hub updates..... any idea why this is, and if the Readers Hub problem even is csc related ?!

I'm on a Euro GT, XXJM6 in The Netherlands, with t-mobile as dutch carrier...

Just need to check is there /csc in /system, if not just add it, and will gain the samsung apps, no need to *#272......~ changing the sale code only change the result of *#1234#, it is useful in case u want to pass the KIES update or return back your IMEI no.

U Can get the /csc using root exploxer ,copy it from those who have many samsung apps on their tab, in my case have 15 but I think only Need for speed shift and TV remote control is valuable.

Hi

I just upgraded to P1000OXAJM6(PAR) no problems but under the csc i dont have anything. How do i add this?

Also when i do *#1234#

PDA is empty

Phone says: P1000OXAJM6

CSC is empty

Anyone?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] shmigao:
i'd either look into flashing multi-CSC separately (i think there is another thread with the files & instructions) or flash Rotohammer's roto-JME-v4 (Full) following his instructions. The former will give you multi-CSC and a very easy way to change CSC value
[Galaxy Tab General] dg5976:
Thanks shmigao,

Is there any other way to add csc to the tab. im scared of flasing it again after so many black screens... i see P1000OXAJM6 is working

I just went into system recovery and now it says installing Muti-csc but its been saying it on the screen for over 10min. i dont know what do? any insight on this?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] shmigao:
havn't done it that way. it says installing multi-csc on the recovery screen (on the tab?) or on the screen in Odin? what does Odin say?
[Galaxy Tab General] dg5976:
on the tab. it says it.. its been 15min now and still installing muti-csc..
[Galaxy Tab General] shmigao:
how do you install on the tab? ... not use ODIN? i am confused.

anyway, i'd try to re-start the tab, and check whether CSC is now installed (dialer $#1234#)

If not, or if tab does not boot up fully (e.g. stuck on Samsung logo) I'd suggest to go into download mode, open Odin and flash either:

1. JM6 with the appropriate radio, pit and CSC files, with repartition

2. or roto-JME v4 Full with the radio and pit file Rotohammer provides (this will install multi-CSC, is proven to work and probably almost the same as JM6 with maybe some improvements

I can't say more much about non-Roto firmwares because any other firmware than Roto's scare me because of the protected bootloaders
[Galaxy Tab General] dg5976:
Thanks again

Thanks again,

1. JM6 with the appropriate radio, pit and CSC files, with repartition

just unzip it and place everything under /system by root exploxer.

once u ask some friend who have a Tab and copy this file out and paste in your tab, everything fine.

Ok stuipd question i have it on my pc download how do i get it on the tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] rainbow ng:
unzip it and u will see 5 files and a directory, copy all from your PC to ur SDcard (i mean "phone", the internal SD)

then on the phone, use root exploxer to copy all of them to /system

that all ... remember u shoot mount /system as r/w first..;)
[Galaxy Tab General] dg5976:
Well i got the 1 sterp got root explore put everything on my SD did copy from SD to System and paste now i see the folder under app.... i know its not the right place

how to i get it into the system folder i have tried everything.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] rainbow ng:
*be careful , DON'T delete any other things inside /app or /system*

u should paste the files under /system

then u will see something like below

/system(r/w)

/app

/bin

/cameradata

/csc <== u just added files in purple colour..

/etc

/fonts

/framework

.....

build.prop

remember mount (r/w) before the task and mount (r/o) after finish

Changing CSC on JME

i could not get Asphalt 5 from any on the list,can someone please share the apk file for Asphalt 5 please thank you.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
Another thing to try, is simply edit the /system/csc/sales_code.dat file and replace the code in that file with the desired one, then reboot. The Samsung appstore seems to just check this, not the global CSC setting. This method doesn't wipe anything!

I changed mine to XEU, rebooted, used market enabler to set my SIM to Meteor, and I got NFS:Shift, Car Home and Asphalt HD, plus about a dozen other things (mostly news apps).

Having it set to CPW which was the default gives me just NFS:Shift but still most of the other things.

Can you share the APK

Hello,

can you guys share the Apk files with other people having trouble getting it to work(off course i am one of them).

Yep, this works well with RootExplorer or using a bit of adb command line work on a rooted system:

DESKTOP#adb shell

TAB$echo XEU > /system/csc/sales_code.dat

TAB$remount ro /system

TAB$exit

TAB#exit

DESKTOP#adb reboot

Daniel, I didn't see any difference changing sales_code.dat directly.

I really would like my Tab to behave according to my Locale settings, not my physical location. I would like to see ENGLISH eBooks and Samsung Apps, not the ridiculous geo-local stuff I'm getting in another language.

Any ideas?
