I just downloaded the new update for Google Maps. Currently I'm using the HDONE build. Anyways, I can't get the 3D buildings to show up...is there an option within the app to have them appear or what???? o_O
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
I'm just downloading it now, but from what I saw in a video you use 2 fingers to raise and lower the elevation. You can also rotate the screen with 2 fingers.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] InitialG:
Yeah, I did that but still no go :(
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Archer:
Strange - it works for me. Admittedly, there's no buildings, but it's tilting the map.

Oh, yeah yeah, It's tilting the map but the same goes for me it doesn't show the buildings. I know it's small..but I want my 3D buildings gosh darnit! >_<

Same here. Maybe they only have real 3D data for certain places.

you said it. i'm not sure for 100%, but i guess it is like on most navigation software (like automapa etc.): 3d buildings are just shown at big cities. i try it in a few minutes here in cologne. be patient.

Ive been reading around for about 2 weeks and so today I tried to root my hero. I ried frist to go the long way useing the android-sdk-windows route but it didnt work so I then went for the z4 root method as seen in a earlyer post. I installed the app. I clicked on root in my phone and it did its thing I guess? It didnt ask me to do a temp install or a perm install. It finally rebooted and all my apps were still on there from android market and it was running horribly slow so did a factory reset. I can see superuser app. I downloaded rom manager and every time I go to click install rom from sd card it says you must install clockworkmod recovery fist and so forth. I am just getting really lost in this hole process. All I wana do is get rid of the damn stock apps... make my hero run faster and if a rom is pretty much a custom background and stuff then install that. At this point I dont even know if the damn thing is rooted or not and I havent been able to find a clear answer on how to root ANYWHERE on any site that will work. It seems 2 different methods ive tried both have failed. If anyone can help that would be great.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bierce22:
The lag u experienced is a known issue when u reboot simply run z4root again and it should fix it and clockworkmod recovery is the custom recovery u need to install in order to use a Rom and u flash it through Rom manager and if u just want to remove system apps try root explorer from the market its 4$ but well worth it
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] da305kratos:
The laginess is normal after z4root...tap on Flash ClockworkMod Recovery, install it (It takes a bit since it has to download it first). Note that if it doesnt do anything when u press it, uninstall it, reboot your phone and download it again from the Market, that was the only issue i had, everything else went by smoothly.

Just follow what I did on here

[Desire General] blade80:
Hi, does anyone know how I can fix this problem?

Im running 2.1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scottietohottie:
OK so here is were I sound stupid (I think).

I had eclair and the lag fix and wanted to upgrade to froyo.

I undid the lag fix and upgraded. WOW how bad was Froyo!!!

So I installed the OCLF, big difference, but still getting loads of issues with FC and the like.

So decided to do a factory reset. BUT I believe I forgot to remove the OCLF. Boo Hiss.

So reset fine. Phone running great. Start to load it up with apps and heay presto starts to lag again.

Fine install the lag fix.

Cannot as playlogos1 is there and it means that a lag fix is still running.

So google is my friend and found you could just remove it.

Routed around allot and what I found was

mount -o rw,\system \system

chmod 755 \system\bin\playlogo*

then change the files name. To something not playlogos1 (i.e. playlogos1bk)

Heay presto it worked. installed the ext2 stuff then the OCLF. Then reboot

reboot

reboot

reboot

get the picture......

Lucky I have one of the phones that the 3 button combo did not work on, which I found the wonderful fix for just before this happened. So I could get the console and select factory reset again.

So I looked some more and found the following

Playlogo

Playlogos1

Playlogosnow

Google pointed me to the fact that the file oover 5kb = the animation file the other two are OCLF files (ish). So I changed the following

Playlogo = Playlogobk

Playlogos1 = Playlogos1bk

Playlogosnow = Playlogo

Tried again same problem. Now I think, think is all that the animation file is there some where and I am moving the playlogos files around which is the problem. I think that one of these files is holding the info from the OCLF I forgot to uninstall and that when I hit reboot after actioning the OCLF again it is getting rerouted and the phone is having a fit hence why it keeps crashing when I apply it.

My question is this. HHHHHHHEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP. I have lost my animation screen and don't know where it has gone and I would love to apply the lag fix again. BUT how???
[Galaxy S I9000 General] peachpuff:
Skip that one click lag fix and install a rom that has either the voodoo or ulf lagfix built in.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scottietohottie:
Sounds great but all of the rims I've seen say make sure you have removed any other lag fixes. If I flash a new rom with remnants of the OCLF won't this ruin my phone competently?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nagrom78:
Flash back to a stock rom using odin with repartition, this should sort out any problems, then install a new rom. I always go for jp7 with 512 pit and repartition, no matter what errors or problems I have had in the past this always brings my phone back to life. It can sometimes get stuck on the first boot, when it does this I just reflash jp7 without pit or repartition and it works. I must have flashed my sgs in excess of 50 times since I've had it and this method never lets me down. I try to always make sure that I disable lagfix before hand, but sometimes I have got over excited and forgotten and never had any problems

If I had to recommend I would suggest that after flashing it back to stock you go straight for one of the jpu roms and give it a go without the lagfix, mine has about 80 apps installed, has been running 3 days without a shut down and is still running nice
[Galaxy S I9000 General] scottietohottie:

Not sure if this is too late to be useful but I had a similar problem. Did a factory reset without removing the OCLF and I couldn't get rid of the remnants of it. All I had to do was use the restore boot animation option provided in the OCLF app and everything was fine. Think the boot animation thingo was all that was left behind after the factory reset.

So, as you can gather I love to tinker but don't like to muck it up. I read loads. Tried the restore boot animation and everything.

My problem is/was I know some code. Not a lot but enough to be dangerous. So I installed terminal emulator and tinkered. And then buggered. As the first post suggests.

After looking and looking decided to give the kies reg hack a go. That way I could then feign ignorance under warranty. Worked a charm. My phone is 300 better on a benchmark and no fc's yet.

For my two cents. Read read read read, then, do you know what read again. If you don't know, ask, if you think you know, ask. Pride will not replace a £500 phone. Or the time it takes to fix it. I thought it was straight forward look what happened there!

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AlCapone:
I spent much time searching, but fail to find answer to these questions:

1.- In an device with S-OFF: - can other than SuperUser apps touch any system data ?

2.- if an device is temp-rooted, then only SU-apps* can touch S-OFF'ed data areas ?

(by "su-apps" i mean apps that got granted "superuser" rights by "superuser" app)

3.- Visionary can temp root on each boot, or perm root - what's the difference ?

4.- does perm-root grant full rights to every application ? (so that any app can read any part of data it wants anytime ?)

5.-provided that I use S-OFF and temproot, - what secutity risks did I enable, provided that I trust the few applications that I allow to run as superuser ?

Thanks.

Perm.Root, Basically Only Allows You To Have Root Access After A Reboot, Compared To Temp.Root, Which Requires The User To ReRoot After Every Reboot!!

No Matter Temp.Root or Perm.Root, You Still Have To Grant Which Ever App SU Permissions, For It To Run!!

Install "Lookout Security" If Your Sceptical Of A Certain App!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Hi guys,

Im thinking of flasing a custom rom using odin.

Im running stock froyo 2.2.

PDA: I9000XWJPA

PHONE: I9000XXJPP

CSC: I9000XEEJP4

My phone is rooted and lag fixed. I understand that i need to remove the lag fix before and flash.

I updated to this using the registry hack. My questions are as follows...

1) Can i flash a custom rom from stock 2.2 or do i need to firstly flash a kernal with recovery 2e and then flash a custom rom?

2) Am i right in thinking that the PDA is the right bit to be looking at i.e when people say this rom is usable with JPA / JPO etc. The phone and CSC are not important when flashing a custom rom ( but still needed obviously )

3) If by some miracle of god we ever do get 2.3 and i flash back to stock Froyo via odin using a rom from samfirmware.com, will kies recognise my phone? Or will i forever be destined to flash "unofficially" through odin.

4) Looking at the PDA etc given above can anybody recommend a good rom to flash with gingerbread theme and apps. ( i keep seeing Darky's rom popping up in conversations ) and also have a link to it if you would be so kind. Im not lazy but theres so many roms all over i want to make sure i get the right one.

5) Once i have recovery 2e can i flash future roms over the top using rom mananger by clockworkmods and not have to go through odin? Or how does that work?

If i could get some clear answers to the above that would be great.

Yes i am a newbie at this but i am confident that i understand the basics, its just a couple of things above that i want clearing up before i proceed.

I know how to use odin correctly. ( close kies first / make sure odin opened before plugging in phone etc. )

P.S Yes i have 3 button recovery and download mode.

Thank you for taking the time to read this and a big thank you to any body that takes the time to respond with help.

dude i feel your pain. i've rooted and installed custom roms on two other phones, most recent the HTC Desire Z. and it was quite a nightmare to just start off to know what the first step is, there are soo many different guides its hard to know which is what and what has now been superceeded by something else!

now i'm trying to get a custom rom on my galaxy S too, but really having a hard time understanding everything becuase guides and stuff are so different for different roms, gets confusing and dont know which one is for me!

my phone is already rooted, i have firmware 2.1-update1, i know i have voodoo lagfix somewhere installed. but my base band version is I9000XXJM4, which i hav'nt seen in any guide! where did you get your seperate PDA, PHONE, CSC info from?

sorry i could'nt help you and i justed added a bunch more questions to mix :(

also how did you manage to get Clockwork Recovery on your phone? i have recovery 2e atm. i downloaded Rom manager from the market and tried installing Clockwork rewcovery, but first it would not even download. then i tried next day and it downloaded it through rom manager. but i dont think it installed it. i went into recovery mode and then it tried to auto-install clockwork recovery in recovery mode! but it just hanged at zero status bar for like 20 mins. i turned the phone off and on, went back into recovery mode and it was still recovery 2e, how do i get clockwork recovery to flash as the recovery mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Type *#1234#into your dial pad and it will come up. If I'm right I believe that 2.1 is more simple to flash over than 2.2 which is the bit that's confusing me.

I believe that you would need to flash a new kernel with recovery 2e and then flash a new Rom over the top.

I'm a but confused though as to weather or not I would need to flash back to 2.1 and then do a couple more flashes to get the job done.

Can some one please clear this up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amro90:
1. You don't need to have 2.1 rom to flash, since you'll be able to do all the flashing using Odin and download mode. Just flash a kernel, using odin, that has clockworkmod integrated, and you'll be able to flash most roms and kernels with the clockworkmod.

Speemod kernel is a great kernel, and has clockworkmod included.

Link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756

2. PDA is the rom part. CSC is important when using stock roms. I think that custom roms have CSC included in them.

3. You'll always be able to flash with Kies by using the Kies Registry Hack or by flashing a stock rom through odin. Kies will recognise your phone even if you are on a custom rom, but I'm not sure if it'll flash your phone.

4. I prefer Docs Ultra Slim roms because it's light, and you can customize them however you want. Darky's rom is a good option if you want all the features of a stock rom, and more. I use a Gingerbread theme with Doc's rom.

Thank you for clearing that up. Very helpful but unfortunately you now raised another question haha.

You said that I would always be able to flash through kies using the registry hack... but wasn't that disabled so the registry hack wouldn't work any more a couple of versions back on. 803 or whatever it is?

And you also said that kies would recognise my phone but might not flash it which if I'm reading it right.contradicts.what you said about always been able to flash through kies.

Thank you so much for previous post it was very helpful.

By registry hack, I really meant the Kies Registry Patcher app found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=835628

Works on all Kies versions at least for now.

Like the original registry hack, this using this app makes Kies think that you have a stock rom and as long as Kies thinks that you have a stock rom, it will flash your phone.

In the sentence where I said that Kies will recognise your phone but won't flash, I mean't that it wouldn't flash without the Registry Patcher.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badutahboy:
Are either of these rootable yet?

and can someone explain what S-on and off means?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pseudoremora:
Yes, they're both rootable.

S-ON vs S-OFF; is just basically a security parameter that's being locked/unlocked. This allows for PC36IMG's files to be flashed via the bootloader without having to use or have authenticated signature keys from Google.

Basically, if you ever accept an OTA and it flashes and removes your recovery (CWM or Amon_RA); then you have no way of flashing custom roms/mods, etc... however with S-OFF, you have the ability to get your recovery back and set yourself back to root if need be.

Essentially, S-OFF allows for another method of flashing stuff to the phone besides just using the CWM or Amon_RA recoveries.

Hboot versions however can affect S-OFF; so it's important that if there is a new OTA that you always hold off, until a developer can validate that the hboot can be exploited and that the OTA can be rooted.
