[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
go to the dev forum and read the post - READ ME BEFORE FLASHING

As for what you want? Um... There are a bunch of different ROM's out there that will fix/break your phone in new and interesting ways. I would not recommend getting the "Stock" leaked Froyo 2.2 as it is pretty much crap.

Although flashing a new ROM is somewhat risky (as in a .000001% chance of bricking your phone) It is helpful to understand how to flash. Go to that post I mentioned then look on youtube on how to install a custom ROM onto your phone.

And remember... YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR PHONE ONCE YOU VOID YOUR WARRANTY :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
I have never seen a clear answer on this question. What exactly will prevent us from running an official update on our phones. When LG releases the official gingerbread update, what will prevent us from doing that?

1) Rooting.

2) OCing/tweaking/hardware acceleration.

3) Installing custom roms.

If we have only rooted can we update, or would we somehow need to flash our phones back to stock settings? I suppose the development community will take the official LG gingerbread rom, tweak it a bit, and release it for us to use with our rooted and OC'd phones, so maybe it's not a big deal?

Any advice?

I think this is a good thread to sticky so people know this info, since i've never seen it posted anywhere else, for any other phones.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
Nothing will prevent you to update. It's your choice.

Don't see the point to stick this.

Cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
So if I have my LG Optimus T rooted, and have a rom installed like cyanogenmod, I can then just download and installed the official 2.3 upgrade from LG/Tmobile?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Zecanilis:
Yes.

Cheers
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
Ok then cheers!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] milestide25:
how on earth were you able to put CyanogenMod on your phone?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
I just thinking about same!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] thesmoth:
I've never tried to install a stock rom, and with the HTC magic I had read people talking about not being able to install the stock rogers rom without a lot of trouble.

I also heard some issues with certain phones having OTA updates and conflicting with rooted phones.

I just wanted to make sure this was ok. I have cyanogenmod on my HTC magic, sorry for the confusion, so I just used that name for a generic rom. I just meant in general if you can update a hacked/rooted phone without it locking up.

Jailbroken ipod touches and phones cannot be updated using the stock updates that are released over itunes, you have to do a factory reset before going and installing the official updates.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
In this case - Custom ROMs - HTC now sucks. HTC still trying disable for their users installation of custom ROMs even if many people just love this possibilities.

LG (for now) doesn't do that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] wisenick:
Idk where you got this from... especially when hTC is one of the few companies still posting info on how to fix your phone after you root it, also if you are friends with them on facebook they make posts about leaked roms and they say they dont recommend installing but they still show you where its at. Motorola did try to make it impossible to root the droid 2/x/pro but ppl found a way around that, i believe it was koush.

I don't believe any manufacturer spends a great deal of time trying to prevent root, now carriers like sprint and verizon, yes. They don't want you doing wireless tether and things like that.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] The_ERROR:
I have this from root.cz but it is in czech language.

They talking about problems of rooting and updating of system on new HTCs phones, like for example Tatoo. They have HW lock on their NAND ROM, so getting of root is not as simple as was before and so on.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JacenSolo2001:
Does anyone know of an app that you can set to allow certain phone numbers to always come through, the auto reject does the opposite on the Captivate, but I'd like to set something so certain numbers can always ring, in case of an emergency.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] crusecontrl:
I use bedside for when my phone is plugged in and charging when I am asleep and it has a whitelist that you can program and customize to allow certain numbers to come through.....Handcent also has a blacklist that will block SMS/MMS if you want that option as well.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JacenSolo2001:
that sounds promising, will check it out, thanks !!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Damonkashu:
I would like to tinker with it and add options for selecting the tone for the timer mode.

I posted this in general but maybe it belongs in development
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWBehr:
It actually belongs in Questions and Answers ;) No, I don't believe such source code exists.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PSP_Hacker:
Yep, the only source code that Samsung released is of the kernels. There's no source released for the Android system at all; it's got the TouchWiz **** and all of Samsung's other additions, and they don't want their super-special TouchWiz getting in the wrong hands...

On a side note, the one and only thing I like about Samsung's builds is the over-scrolling of lists; you know how a list will bounce off a bit if you scroll fast to one end? Or if you hold the list and scroll beyond one of it's ends? If you don't know what I mean, just look for a video of an iPhone or WP7 and you'll see this same effect in these devices UIs.

its pretty fun!

only thing is that it lacks descriptions.

like how much dmg does each tower do, range.. etc
[Droid X Android Development] PleaseStirMe:
Since the TBH (thank you!!) NVRAM hack fixes the NAI that gets created for your MIP profile, there is no need for NAI manipulation at the application level with apps such as easytether.

My question is:

What is the suggested method for USB tether after removing the ".dun" from your NAI?

Ideally Im looking for RNDIS based tethering since its built into Windows 7 and most flavors of Linux. Its also simple to install a RNDIS driver on XP. It seems way less invasive to me then having to install a client application.

I have done some searching but have not found any USB RNDIS based tethering solution that works. Have working kernel modules been created (like the working tun.ko) that can be used to enable this?

Thanks

PleaseStirMe
[Droid X Android Development] SysAdmin-X:
Yes, search this forum for tun.ko as there is a post a few under yours where someone posted a working version of the tun.ko and a config.ko file as well.
[Droid X Android Development] PleaseStirMe:
Thanks SysAdmin but tun.ko is the not kernel module I am looking for. tun.ko is used to enable VPN. I am wondering if anyone has made a similar kernel module to enable RNDIS tether.

PleaseStirMe
[Droid X Android Development] cellzealot:
All you need to do to enable USB tethering in Windows is edit the build.prop to get Phone as Modem to be included in the USB notification dropdown menu.

Simply edit the line ro.modem_available=0 to ro.modem_available=1.

Then reboot and connect the phone to the PC and select Phone as Modem from the drop menu.

You will get a notification that internal data will be disabled.

Open Network and Sharing Center and create a new DialUpNetworking connection and configure as follows:

User Name: XXXXXXXXXX@vzw3g.com where the Xs are your 10 digit MDN.

Password: vzw

Number to Dial: #777

Save and hit connect and you're done.
[Droid X Android Development] PleaseStirMe:
cellzealot

Thanks for your reply. Pretty sure you have helped me in the past too.

That was not the exact solution I was looking for but it is a nice option since in windows can automatically open the connection when you launch your browser. I used to use that same DUN method with my e815.

PleaseStirMe
[Droid X Android Development] cellzealot:
I realize that it's not RNDIS but it works fine and no client is required.

And yes, this hack dates back to the old days of e815 hacking and if you were hanging around the VZW Motorola forum on HoFo back then you might know me as kbman. ;)
[Droid X Android Development] SysAdmin-X:
You're right, my apologies! I believe that was for openVPN, and I had read something else similar earlier that day! Thnx to cellzealot for the info as well!
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
Hello all,

I know how many of you have been looking forward to another version of android on the Epic, so I'm here to let you know that Epic Donut is coming!!!

My rom will feature:

-based on android 1.6 donut

-No turn by turn navigation, so if you get lost, that's your problem!

-No JIT processing, because we don't want things going too fast

-Touchwiz ported from the Samsung Behold 2 (Awesome!)

-deodexed and pre-rooted (of-course) so you can customize

-no 4G support

-other special tweaks to make it feel like we are using a phone manufactured prior to October of 2009

Let me know if there are any other features you want included/excluded and I'll see what I can do.

That would be awesome:-)
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Noobs, the lot of you! I've got Appletart ready and Bagel in the works.

Andrioid 0.0(Appletart)

Features: A clean fresh piece of blank white paper to scribble what ever comes to mind.

Android 0.1(Bagel)

Change Log: Adds blue horizontal lines to the paper so you're not writing all willy nilly up and down the page.

Feature Requests for 0.3 (Cinnabon): Choice of horizontal line colors. Blue or black.

:D
[Epic 4G General] NYYFan325:

How about some vertical lines to go over the horizontal ones for ... mapping :D

LMFAO
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Sorry, there's a bug we're not admitting to with the mapping cache. You'll need to erase and redraw your vertical lines each time you want to map.
[Epic 4G General] av91:
Oh yeah, here's hoping we get a port of the data lockups. I miss that feature from my Moment.
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
OK guys, alot of great suggestions. I think I've really made a breakthrough. I've replaced the dalvik virtual machine with this actual machine (see attached). Also, I've modded the genie widget into an actual genie that will make you actual doughnuts.

PM me about the appletart version. Maybe we could make a delicious appletart donut version.

Does this support copy and paste?

My friend's Win7 phone can do it so Donut should be able to too! Oh wait....
[Epic 4G General] JettMartinez:
Perfect! We can use Appletart's paper feature to wipe your new machine's cache (3 times of course) after it produces its output.

Remember folks, wipe your machine to keep it clean!

[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
Yes, but only with Farsi.

Thanks for the love. This rom is backspace capable with the use of the speak and spell peripheral.

We need data lockups from the Moment! Also, cut off the functionality of the search cap. Button! The Moment was fine with just three! ;) also change the screen resolution to where it's as small as the Moment's! We also need slower upload and download speeds, and get rid of the LED notification light! Make the hardware keyboard and swype, resulting in us using the standard Android one! Aaah, recipe for disaster! >;)
[Epic 4G General] jaaka78:
Sorry, everyone. It looks like I have to discontinue development. While Samsung India tweeted their full support for Epic Donut development, I have received some tweets to the contrary from Samsung US. Incidently, the rom would not have supported any form of twitter.

Goodbye, Epic Donut. You were a bright, shining star meant only to be enjoyed as an unattainable dream.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Depends on how different the hardware is between the two phones. Besides the NEC chip and the FFC - they are similiar - but I bet it'd take some tweaking to get it to work right.

And there is no Source code from Sammy yet so we can only speculate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkDvr:
I'd say the first phone that gets GB after Nexus S will be Galaxy S. Nexus S IS Galaxy S, pretty much same hardware, so there will be very little tweaking needed driver/hardware-wise to get SGS to run gingerbread.

I wouldn't be surprised if we had a stable GB build before we get Froyo from the god-awful AT&T.

i was recently looking at battery stats in settings>>about phone>>battery usage

and i was noticing in all builds the screen is using about 60%-70% of the battery.

the thing is i was wondering if everyone else has the same problem??

is there a fix that i missed or something? (i am usually on top of everything related to android and hd2).
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kdeguy:
I've faced the same with several builds, and observed that my wife's desire had the same at 4-5%. I thought this might be a driver issue, and could account for at least partly the battery drains.

I had posted my comment in one of the battery threads, and a "senior" member came back with a snide remark that I must have been installing it wrong all these while. After Mr. Know it all's response I stopped responding to anything posted here really.

I think its a relative figure, that 70% or so, I think it keeps getting averaged so may not actually be so bad after a while. I am still curious about the driver though. I've stopped using setcpu now and that seems to have helped actually with the newer hastarin kernels and tytung builds.

to answer your question man: i hate to break it to you, but youre not likely to find much personal help here, much less on any forum. mainly because of what you are seeing in this thread: people are d*cks online.

like many people have said, and i know this isnt the answer you want to hear, youre probably gonna have to teach yourself. only because i guarantee you, even if someone taught you the steps on how to code, build, compile etc, you still probably wouldnt fully understand why it works the way it does.
