[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
I'm talking about technical specs. The SGS/Epic one up'd the EVO in almost every way - it was just flawed. Even then some reviewers still pegged the Epic 4G superior. The Nexus S is, well, a Google developed version of the SGS and that made all the difference since it fixed many of the flaws that the SGS had.

The hardware is better than anything on the market right now. The software is of course a preference thing (I prefer stock) but the support by Google gives it access to immediate updates and that's a undeniable advantage that no non-Nexus phone has.

The bottom line is if you're in the market to buy a phone tomorrow, the Nexus S is the Android phone to get. I'm not, so without being completely irrational and breaking my contract, I can only hope that it comes to Sprint and then I can think about trading up for a NS. I agree that it was stupid to even put this thread up but the only reason this thread has been fuming up is because of the clowns who think the EVO is god's fit to man and that the NS is awful.

Hi. Great rom.

Right now im using CyanogenMod 6.1, and its good. Before that azure, and its good too. I just have this one complain. About why some apps crash? The process quits.

Soo...

Why does Opera mini, and some apps CRASH on CyanogenMod 6.1, and azure? Any fix to this issue?

Thnx.!
[Legend Android Development] jinxul:
some app like opera just work on 2.1,1.6 and etc and dosent work on 2.2 and 2.2.1
[Legend Android Development] AFX3D:
Yeah, thnx. But it does work on 2.2 and soo on. With the original ROM.

Every app works with the original rom. Is there a fix to this exept changing the rom itself?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munsterrr:
I searched for "ADW dock, edit launcher, change dock cyanogen" nothing.

I accidentally added my messages to where the app drawer icon is(over wrote it). I went through all the CM settings and ADW launcher settings to see if i could find anything to edit it but i cannot.

Reset under the ADW launcher doesnt work either.

thanks in advance guys
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
Go into menu/applications and clear the data under the launcher ... or you could add a custom one by long pressing on your screen ... custom shortcut ... and drag it down to the right spot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munsterrr:
lol yeah i just figured it out. Appreciate the snappy response...Happy holidays
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nivron:
I know you have an answer that works, but I wanted to share my findings when I did the same thing... What worked for me was to create a Custom Shortcut for the App Drawer on the desktop. I was able to drag that back over my incorrect icon. I can't look right now, but I believe the steps were something like:

Add->Custom Shortcut->Pick Activity->Launcher->App Drawer
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] munsterrr:
that works too. both get my thanks.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] freddy_rv:
Hello guys,

I got a GT-I9000T.

I tried z4root to temporary root my android, then I proceed to install OCLF 2.0 to remove the lag, but after I restarted the android it didn't come back again.

I was able to turn it on but it were stuck after the samsung introduction video.

Just a black screen and no way to do anything.

I tried to press UP, HOME and POWER to get into the recovery mode but it didn't work, so I almost had a brick.

Lookin over the internet I found a small .bat file that I ran with the android connected using the usb cable and I was able to run the factory reset.

Finally I think I got my cel to normal, but I dont know if there are still a few "orphan files" because of the z4root and oclf 2.0.

Do do you guys have any ideas how I can know if there are any files from z4root or oclf 2.0 on my phone? I did a factory reset but I think some files are hanging in there.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tackygr:
Hi,i had the same problem twice,the first i got cuz Lag fix should not be done with temporary root,as you lose root when it has to reboot.Second time i had it from unknow error...At both time i did factory reset and the application were gone,but some files where still in the system.So it would be good to get a foul time answer from someone.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freddy_rv:
Good to know that, how is your phone now? were you able to apply the oclf 2.0 successfully after that?

Are you running 2.1 Eclair or 2.2 Froyo?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tackygr:
The first time i had to make factory reset and everything was good.the second tme i did factory reset and nothing happend.So i downloades 2.2.1 and flashed it.its fine now,faster than ever,works pretty good,but noticed that i have far less apps in samsung apps...and battery is going maybe 20-30% faster than it should.But 2.2.1 is a hell of a smooth and fast...i totally recomend it to anyone.All y problem is now how to update trough kies...well i guess i will not...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] freddy_rv:
Ok good to know that but I will wait 6 months until my android's warranty expires in order to update it.

Were you able to install oclf 2.0 successfully on eclair 2.1?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] tackygr:
You need to root to aply any lag fix.and i think this stops the warranty anyway.yes i aplyed it with no problem on 2,1.but i forgot to reverse it back when i updated from kies so this bricked my phone thank god i had odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] maobse:
Mu Samsung IS a brick...

What .bin file did you fire up?

I´ve searched but haven´t found anything.

I have the same problem... rooted with z4root, the temporary root, run OCLF which rebooted the phone, and now I´m stucked :(.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tusko5:

Hello all.

Noob here. Just got my mt4g permarooted but i'm curious what settings I need to run. I had visionary running on boot before rooting. I assumed I needed to turn that off after permaroot but I could not gain root access without it. Anyone mimd helping with the right setup?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nguyendqh:
Could you provide the steps you took to get rooted or maybe a link to a guide you followed?

If you are permarooted you should have no problems turning off that setting in Visionary.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slhpss:
turn the run on boot off.. if you're using r14 click temproot then after that click attempt perm root
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper3ez:
I rooted with "true permaroot and ultimate s=off" by grankin01
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper3ez:
Everytime I do that, phone freezes after I click attempt permaroot. The screen goes black like it does for temproot but freezes after and nothing else happens.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viper3ez:
Anyone?

I think the problem is visionary refusing to permaroot. I'm using r14. Visionary crashes and freezes my phone when I attempt to petmaroot and I have to pull the battery to restart. Any options to visionary? Maybe an older release?

Any help would be appreciated.

I was attempting to perform the 8 failed boots unrooting trick and it worked to get the update started but now it is just endlessly rebooting and running the update again.

[Nook Color General] Geezer Squid:
Have you tried the 3 button data reset? Hold down the N key, power button and volume up button.
[Nook Color General] tarheeldan:
Tried that, it goes through the factory reset process just fine, but on reboot goes right back to the "down arrow" install screen :(

I'm trying to get putty.exe to work (thinking boot count is stuck at 8)- but getting a "network timed out" error and it's unresponsive.
[Nook Color General] bugeyed1:
I hate when that happens! :mad:

Ok, I got it working, Thanks Bu By.

[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
My solution

I was stuck in an infinite bootloop that drained battery to the point to the Nook not booting.

After a full charge, I used a Nookie Froyo (0.5.6) card to boot.

Then, re-enabled ADB in Win7 and then reset the BootCnt file to 8, forcing an update back to 1.0.0

THEN, ontop of that I had to do the 3 finger salute to wipe /data.

After that, I was very careful in adding my hacks back in there one at a time to make sure I find the reboot culprit.

I've been running 24+hours without reset. ( My suspicion is that something in the autoconfig script is causing issues so I removed some of the code before running the batch file)

Polish a Turd it is Still a Turd. You all must think that Galaxy S Users are all mushrooms, however we do not enjoy being kept in the dark and fed full of crap. Samsung and the carriers should have better communication and better follow through. I'm not holding my breath for any kind of release and excuses do not matter to me. Do what you need to do and release a stable operating system (God knows you have had enough time to perfect it).

[Streak 5 General] Miguel.z:
Hey Guys,

I need your help trying to bring this Dell Streak back from the grave.

Background: I got this Streak from a fellow who tried to put 2.2 on it but apparently did something wrong. Currently I have no Idea what build this is or even what country it's from but I have a few clues that may help.

While booting the Streak with the volume buttons it reads:

Factory Reset

Software upgrade from update.zip

Power off

near the bottom of the screen is the following: "DT: A2.643 Built Date: Dec 31 2009, 01:16:21"

While booting into fast boot mode the white screen comes up but where normally you would see the " Fast Boot" option on the upper right corner, there is nothing.

But if you connect it via USB the screen will change to "FASTBOOT_MODE".

One more clue is that the splash screen does come up and just hangs there but I found it interesting that it reads "Dell Confidential" under the Dell Logo.

So right now thats all it does, Hang on the Dell screen.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Put the Update.pkg on the SD card.

Boot with volume keys.

select to update from Update.pkg

allow it to do it's thing.

should be good to go after that
[Streak 5 General] Miguel.z:

Initially it spit up an error but after reboot everything came back ok and it now has 2.2!!!

[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
If you have problems with moving files, you can use Root Explorer to move them. Watch out for typos on the last step. Other than that, it definitely works. I have done it many times.
[Samsung Mesmerize] vluhd:
idk..

I did this, and everything worked up to the last step.

It read no errors, but nothing worked.

I figured out that it didn't actually create the directory, so I created it with rootexplorer, copied the file in, and then when i restarted my phone was bricked D:

I've since exchanged it, but I'm gonna hold off for official support before I try again.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
You probably jumped the gun there. These phones are actually pretty hard to truly brick unless you flash something to the "phone" in Odin. What directory were you creating? All of the directories that you are trying to work with are already there. All you have to do is put two files on your sdcard, move one of them to /system/xbin and then flash flash the other. I've done this probably 50 times in the last month and with the exception of a typo the very first time, I haven't had a single problem.
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Don't use SuperOneClick... I had problem after problem when I used it to root. "de-rooted" (not sure that's a word) it with SuperOneClick then used Z4root. Everything worked perfectly after that. Also I was making a mistake when trying this step I think - "adb push path/to/recovery.bin /sdcard/recovery.bin" I was stupidly :mad: starting adb shell first then trying to run adb push. Hope that helps some.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
I am debating rooting also, just a bit hesitant and reading everything i can for now. Which is the best root method so far as i can tell there about 20 different variants.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
Everyone has their own favorite. Personally I use both SOC and Z4, depending on where I'm at. I've never had a problem with either. Good choice, though, reading everything that you can find.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
i dont know what you are reading but with regards to the US Cellular Samsung Captivate there is O N E method and really only 1 method.

SuperOneClick 1.55 which can be downloaded right here at XDA.

its pretty friggin dummy proof really.

And just incase you were thinking rooting gets you everything (like 3 of my coworkers) rooting just unlocks the door, its up to you whether you want to walk thru and start installed and flashing mods but jsut to ROOT the phone allows you to do things not being rooted will not.
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
Actually I SOC didn't work well for me. z4 worked perfectly on my Mesmerize. I had problems with SOC.
[Samsung Mesmerize] v_lestat:
my friend no offense, but if you had problems with superoneclick then you got problems.....

the biggest problem is the creators instructions, he tells you to disable usb debugging then to enable it when it says waiting for device... to bad you cant because the usb cable is plugged in and you cant do anything like that when the cable is plugged in.

i leave debugging enabled because it needs to be on to run the root.

30 seconds later i am rooted,, easy as that.
[Samsung Mesmerize] icantplay:
It's totally cool that it worked for you.

I'm just saying that I followed the instructions of SOC (not that there are any instructions, you just click on the big ROOT button) and then tried to install Clockworkmod.

I could not get anything to work properly. I then used z4 and it worked.

I'm happy to hear that it worked for you though but "I have no problems" not sure why you have to go there.

You realize that there are lots of reasons why something may work on your phone and not mine right? Also if you want to get picky you called it the US Cellular "Captivate". If it's from U.S. Cellular then it's the "Mesmerize". Maybe that's why SOC worked for you and not me...
[Samsung Mesmerize] ganzhimself:
I also had problems with the SOC method of rooting my Mesmerize... It looked like it worked but the method for flashing CWM wouldn't work. Kept getting access denied errors. Z4root worked like a charm though. Don't know why, don't especially care either way.
[Samsung Mesmerize] droidroidz:
Does z4root install superuser.apk and buysbox? Also with z4root which version of superuser.apk does it install, I noticed the creator has updated the apk recently here:

I'm looking for option to sync with outlook that DOES NOT require me to upload my data to google.
[Captivate General] Rogue9:
Kies doesn't require you to use the cloud to sync your PIM data
[Captivate General] meyesme:
You may want to do a search for and check out "Android Manager". This is what I use over Wi-Fi for Outlook sync. I like it better than Kies myself.
[Captivate General] nekrosoft13:
anyone else tried Android Manager?
[Captivate General] sudhirmangla:
I also use android manager You can sync Contacts , Calender , Images, Videos or any other folder you choose.

Application is quite stable (I personally find it much more stable than MyPhoneExplorer).

best part its free.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
The full Kies does not work with Captivate and Kies Mini has limited functionality.

I use MyPhoneExplorer to sync my outlook data. It has a PC program where you can edit/add/delete contacts and when you connect the phone to the PC it starts the companion app on the phone to make the transfer. No Google cloud needed and haven't had any stability issues with it.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Out of curiosity, I installed Android Manager on my PC. Unlike MyPhoneExplorer, it does not interface directly with Outlook. I'm unsure of how you even get your Outlook data into the program as the only import format it appears to support is .pbf, which is not a format Outlook can export to. If either of you guys have a way to do this, please post it. Thanks.

EDIT: OK, I played around with it some more and got it figured out. I am now an Android Manager user. Much easier to use than MyPhoneExplorer once you get it setup properly and I like not having to use a cord to sync. I wonder why this great app never shows up on lists of ways to sync Outlook with Android? First I heard of it was in this thread and I looked a lot when I first got the phone. Thanks for the tip.
