*note I am posting in my BIL's account because I am on his computer*

I am currently running the original leaked FROYO rom that was posted here. Today I got a message from at&t saying they were providing a free update to my phone....

Got any ideas what this might be?.... I had already installed jh7 before...
[Captivate General] rmikulus:
Yeah, this happens... They sent that out with the last update for 2.1, and if you bought your phone sometime afterwards, you'll eventually get a (few) texts about it...

When Froyo is released, I'm sure you'll hear all about it, so don't worry about that text.
[Captivate General] malicenfz:
I've just learned to ignore that text message, I figure if Froyo comes out for the Captivate I'll probably read about it somewhere else first.
[Captivate General] Roism:
I got the same message from ATT

Froyo 2.2 Rooted I897UCJ16

In my case there was a time where I saw a sync Icon next to the Wifi Icon on top right which was bit unusual I thought. However when I pulled the tab to see what it was, nothing showed up but icon remained.

The text came from 1111487602 and it came to my SIM Card Phone # directly which a puretalk prepaid sim

I built froyo 2.2 with the GT-P1000_Platform.tar.bz2 and SGH-I987_Platform.tar patched on top.

This is a noob question. How do I package it up to be pushed on the Tab?

I've built the kernel and heimdall-flashed the zImage to the Tab with success but I'm ignorant about the platform details.

Thanks

I tried on my own and after running it on new rom I get a "Parse error" type of message.

First I nandroid backup/swipe.

Then install the new rom(SPrint lovers 3.7)

Then I went right to the marketplace and downloaded TB again.

It tells me to go to settings/applications and check the install "Unknown apps install" button. so I do that.

Then I open TB again and go to batch, then I selected the restore all apps options and it gives me a error.

I read somewhere it says you have to install them one by one?

I read somewhere something about you have to mount a few programs or something?

well i figured it out from the link posted above,thanks. so i'll give it one more try.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I would recommend on buying the full version. Make sure you tap on PROBLEMS and then download BusyBox. Afterwards you can hit MENU-BATCH and BACKUP USER APPS. I'd recommend not messing with any of the other options. If you flash different ROM's a lot it's better to just backup the apps ONLY.

If you were to do for example BACKUP USER APPS and SYSTEM DATA that could potentially bring a whole bunch of errors on your new ROM's and tons of Force Closes.

What I prefer to do is to manually download all my apps between ROM swaps and then using Titanium Backup to restore the data. An example of what I'm talking about is if you have a game that you regularly play, you'd want to restore your data so you don't have to go through the game again. Hope that's simple enough to understand.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuggyunlimited:
You said when you try to download it from the market it says check install unknown applications? Its not suppose to do that... You must have downloaded it and tried installing through a app like astro. If so download another version and try.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
Ive been searching for a half hour on xda. now there are a lot of threads that talk about extending how many times your phone rings before going to voicemail, but thats not what im looking for.

im wondering if its possible to extend ringtone playback.....for example:

lets say you create a ringtone with ringdroid, then apply it as your ringtone. when someone calls you, your phone will only playback the first 15seconds of your ringtone, then it will pause, and loop back to the beginning of the first 15sceonds.

So my question is:

Is there anyway to get rid of the 15 second limit and just have it play the ringtone straight through without looping until voicemail kicks in?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesd86:
Make a longer ringtone?

Edit..i see you say it will only play the first 15 secs no? Will investigate.

Second edit: yeah I got 20 secs counting on fingers...which is probably really 15..so now I'm wondering the same thing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] down8:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
I created with ringtone a MP3 file that lasts about 1:15 sec and it does ring no loop.....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
So you just took a song and applied it as your ringtone as-is through the default settings? You didn't edit it with any app first?

Sent from my pocket rocket!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
I actually took part of the song, (edited with ringdroid, about a 1 min 35 sec) and i saved it as a ringtone mp3 format, you can choose different formats, maybe you used a format that is limited in time? are you sure the tone is longer that the time it takes to loop?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
Ahhhh you could be on to something with the file format....I'll report back

Edit: yup, you nailed it bud...instead of saving it as a "ringtone" just save it as "music"

Has anyone been able to run angry birds somewhat smoothly? I tried it on a 2.2 rom a long time ago and it doesnt seem to make it run any faster than a sense 2.1 rom. Would really like to play it while we wait for rovios lightweight version
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Calico5:
Check out the video posted in THIS THREAD (Click me). This guy is running angry birds perfectly... next to no lag! Hes using Cyanogen 6.1 Final...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkinhotdog:
Hm in the video it says its version 1.3.5, not the latest 1.4.2. Which is probably why it was running pretty good. Plus its the first 2 levels, which isnt laggy to start with. Thanks for the reply tho
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drunkensailor:
It's running on the Cyanogen 6.1 Final a lot better than on the original 2.1. At least on my hero :-)

It's not perfect but alright
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gavtaylor:
try angry birds seasons, it runs a lot better on my Hero than the main version, hardly any lag at all

On 2.2 roms with a cpu at 691 it runs flawless!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] walkinhotdog:
Really? Can u tell me what rom and kernel u use?

I tried angry birds seasons and its still pretty laggy. Only version 1.3.5 of regular angry birds runs ok. Maybe ill try overclocking when playing
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mach2005:
Rom doesn't matter. As long as its a 2.2 rom with Flykernel @ 691 or 710mhz and Jit enabled.

The CPU speed is the bottleneck of our Hero's
[Wildfire General] dud3me:
Will overclocking boost the smoothens of gmaes for example angry birds and if i overclock official froyo when it comes?
[Wildfire General] Cyborgz:
Since putting a custom overclocked ROM on my Wildfire I have notice a massive improvement in speed in general terms. I'm not too sure whether the overclock will improve games to the point where there will be too much of a significant improvement as it may be the phone's GPU that needs overclocking.

I remember playing Super Mario on a SNES emulator on my Wildfire before having the overclocked ROM and even that game wouldn't run properly.
[Wildfire General] pazirez:
i think not really ... cause i haven't notice much speed example in angry birds, or other games ... if you need more speed use simply a custom rom, and will be faster than the stock rom by default without overclocking

..much better to use underclocking, to get longer battery life :P
[Wildfire General] Enic:
How do one overclock the wildfire without having to install a rom? I'd want the original android 2.1 overclocked, but I haven't found a kernel or something for it except for roms...
[Wildfire General] mrbumbastik:
try this

you cant overclock without rooting. root and install a custom kernal. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=798471

try that kernal

overclocks to 768mhz, angry birds has minor improvements, still realy laggy though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmikulus:
Hey all,

My phone is rooted. I'm wondering how Overclocking might effect battery life. Better? Worse?

Also, what is a solid speed to OC on the Captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
It will be worse, but if you do UV it will last a bit longer...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magicman0:
Battery life will go down, but its by such a small amount, you wont even notice it(depending on how much you OC it)

and stable OC values will be different for every phone since all processors are not made equal. For example, my max stable overclock is at 1.2ghz, but my friend was stable at 1.4 with undervolting by 100.

You really just need to play around with it and find what works for you.

If you really want a solid stable number, im pretty sure every captivate I've seen can go up to atleast 1.2 ghz.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worldindo1:
That is very untrue. I read an article (for the life of me can't find it) that overclocking is actually better for battery life. I have in fact had better results on my LG Optimus V with overclocking at 806mHz (highest stable clock setting) than with 600mHz (standard). LeslieAnn (Harmonia dev) linked to the aforementioned article in one of her posts. If I find the link I will post it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dank8885:
I've only OC a couple of times but 1200Mhz should be stable for the majority of phones out there. The most I've got out of my phone was 1440Mhz on MIUI with Glitch kernel, while my friend was able to hit 1600Mhz with same rom and kernel. It took me quite a bit to figure out what voltages for what steps etc to get it to work well so if you do not feel like tinkering with it for a long while I wouldn't try to push your OC too high.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Battery life doesn't usually decrease unless you over volt. That being said most Galaxy S will get 1.2ghz-1.3ghz on stock voltage. Usually a good idea to undervolt most "steps" except the high clocks (1ghz+) but this varies on phone, rom, kernel, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
ohh... i thought that said undervolt... but over clocking as well will make it decrease some.

If you ran faster you would burn more energy in the same amount of time. (over clocking)

If you reduced the weight of your legs or gravity you would burn less energy. (under volting).

Most people dont notice battery drain when overclocked because the processor speed doesnt run full speed all the time. it governs to different speeds for what it needs to do.

go stock speed and play a game till it drops to a percentage.

recharge

overclock with NO undervolting and play the game again till the same percentage.

less time. guaranteed.

just sitting at the homescreen and flipping through your app drawer and using face book wont kick your phone into high gear, with stock or overclocking. you will never notice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] worldindo1:
I have my phone and nook's clocking speed set at the same for min/max settings. I play a mean game of RUA and AirAttack HD. I've in fact timed my battery life on standard clock settings and my overclocking. While overclocked, my nook lasted 10 minutes longer than at standard speeds (while playing AirAttack HD, which has intense 3D graphics). And you might suggest I undervolted, but I never touch that stuff. My volting stays where it is.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F-Forward:
A couple of months ago I rooted my N1 FRF91 with Universal Androot. Later I flashed psfMod (based on CMW) custom recovery using flash_image recovery.

Now I don't have any use for custom recovery or a rooted device anymore, and want to get back on track to be prepared OTA 2.3.

I have received notifications for 2.2.1 OTA (2-part update), but the device just locks up during the upgrade and gets back to rooted 2.2 after a reboot.

So how do I apply the 2.2.1 update? Could I just flash the original recovery with flash_image (and what file should I get in that case), unroot with androot and just use the OTA? Or is there any better/easier way?

The question feels kinda nooby, but the only guides I find is to get back to shipping conditions (Which I don't want to keep my settings and so on),using fastboot which I can't since my bootloader still is locked or assumed that you are using a custom ROM which I don't.

Thanks for your help!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
There is no need to get rid of a custom recovery or root to apply those updates. This has been covered in many threads.

This is what I would do. Use flash_image to flash Amon_RA 1.9.0 recovery. Then download the update (make sure you download the correct one: there is one that is FRG83D from FRF91, which is what you will need if you are running FRF91)and save it to the root of your sdcard. Then boot into recovery, and flash the update. (You will lose root and your custom recovery, but just root again if you want.) That covers part 2 of 2 of the update.

If you want to flash the first part, dowload the HBOOT 0.35 update file (floating around the forums) and place it in the root of your sdcard. Boot into recovery and flash that. You may have problems flashing certain custom recoveries after you flash the 0.35 HBOOT.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F-Forward:
Thanks for your reply. If I follow your steps, the 2.3 OTA will work when it eventually comes?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
If you keep a custom recovery, you will still get the notification, but you will have to manually apply it. If you keep the stock recovery, it should be able to apply it automatically. No word yet on if the newer HBOOT is a requirement for 2.3 or not.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usafle:
I wasn't paying attention earlier today and was trying to remove an Icon from my home screen. I am running the new version of Cyanogen ROM.

Not used to the "Delete" area being on top of the screen. So, when I went to delete the icon off of the screen, I in fact moved it into the section of ADW where the "App Drawer" is located.

So now I don't have access to my app drawer. I have "Phone / Dumb Icon / Browser" instead of "Phone / App Drawer / Browser"

How in the heck do I get the app drawer back in the middle???

How might one apply the DJ05 update without using Odin v3?

Clearly the ROM and Kernel can be updated through CWM, but all searchable info seems to indicate that the modem file can only be altered via Odin on M$ Windoze. What is the methodology behind applying this kind of change using only tools available on a Linux platform?

Can I just overwrite a file on the Fascinate via adb?

cheers
[Fascinate General] soba49:
I have only ever heard of modem.bin being flashed via Odin. I could be wrong, but I think it occupies its own partition, hence the need to actually flash rather than copy an individual file.

You can use redbend_ua to flash without Odin, but I recall (perhaps incorrectly) reading in IRC that redbend doesn't work for modem flashes in practice, at least not yet.

Hopefully someone can give more authoritative info, but I think you are stuck with Odin for good reasons. Just be nice to one of your friends with a PC. Don't have any? Shame! Windows users need love too ya know.

You might find post 3 here useful as well.

That thread Soba49 posted is about 60 pages now, but reading through it all will give you a lot of good info on how it works. About page 56 or 57, you will see some specific questions I posed regarding flashing DJ05 modem.bin onto the Fascinate. It's almost too simple to use, so best to understand it as this is also the tool that will be saving your arse if you 'almost' brick your phone.

Heimdall actually emulates Odin in some areas & Kies in others and aims to eventually do more than either of those tools, w/o all the buggy Samsung coding. I believe the modem.bin is flashed using Kies methodology, FWIW.
[Fascinate General] bstarr3:
So, I've been searching all over this forum and through the 60 pages of the Heimdall thread, but can't find an answer to this simple question - how do I just flash DJ05 onto my fascinate from OSX 10.6? When I try to connect in download mode and turn on Heimdall frontend, I just get "no compatible device connected" Do I need to flash bootloaders too or some other complicated stuff? Or am I just missing something easy?
[Fascinate General] syborg:
SupraLance - What happened when you commanded: "heimdall flash --verbose --modem modem.bin"?
[Fascinate General] SupraLance:
That command flashed the new modem for me. I am running DJ05 now and my phone has never been violated by a Windows device, lol.

I just re-read a bit of that thread regarding OSX, and it seems that Samsung released these phones with a crappy secondary boot loader. It will communicate with Linux and Windows, but not OSX. The only way around this is to flash a fixed boot loader through Linux or Windows, then you can use OSX from there out. Big problem is the only fixed boot loader verified to work with Heimdall & OSX is for the International Galaxy S. You need one specific for the Fascinate.

So this leaves American OSX users hoping that Samsung fixed this in the 2.2 Froyo code they have released. Heimdall & Odin cannot be made to work on OSX without it and boot loaders are not something you want to experiment with. Messing with the boot loader = quickest way to truly brick your phone.

If I was at your computer trying to do this, I would set up a dual-boot on your Mac with Ubuntu (completely free and similar to OSX interface) and do it through Ubuntu.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverStone641:
It could be any number of things. did you do anything before you took the battery out? did you power the phone down before removing the battery? did you wipe cache's before your fresh rom install? have you installed any new software recently?

Good job having a nandroid backup! the first time i got caught in a boot-loop i was SOL on that front. nice work
