[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdamo305:
i was an iphone man, but when i got offered the samsung vibrant for my 3g iphone, u know DAMN WELL ima make that trade.

my boy rooted it for me, and basically showed me the deal with it, and how to install roms and what not, nothing to fancy.

right now im rooted, and i THINK i have ginger clone installed? i downloaded nero 1, ginger clone, and macnut14, so im not sure which one i have installed.

i need some help trying to find out how to pick the roms for my phone, what specifications i needa know before i try an install some, and any other details involved.

i use rom manager (my boy told me to)

and i follow the steps involved (ima kinda phone savy, but this **** is real intricate)

when i first installed macnut14, it booted itself and started to download an install the rom. everything fine

i hate that superman icon, makes me look like a child, so i downloaded ginger clone and nero 1.....

but now when i go flash ANY other rom, and it goes to boot, i get that triangle with the exclamation point and lil android dude.

i have to press the down volume and power, and when it restarts, it installs the rom.

if im doing something wrong, let me know or point me to some useful info.

yee

You are way beyond the typical noob..... you are spot on. The exlamation mark was common with Eugenes roms, not sure why but I only got that on his ROMs *and I would never say anything bad about Eugene, he is proabably one of the best developers we have*

I would ODIN to stock, flash Nero v1 and be happy.... I have a guide in my signature if you just want something to reference, doesnt sound like you would need it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdamo305:
damn cuzzz, ur a fast lil ****er! i didnt post this more than 5 min ago!

yea like i said, i know what im doing with phones, but this android **** is SUPERRRR wild compared to ur iphone jailbreaks and unlocks.

my boy told me to stick to eugene's roms and STAY AWAY from odin, dont know why????

ima check out ur sig for some extra help.

im already in love with this phone, so i wanna learn MORE
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HRodMusic:
Thats weird man, odin has saved my phone a billion times.. try nero 1
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdamo305:
i mean my dude will build a phone in the shower hanging upside down, while he gives birth to zebras.

hes a genius, so i listen to him.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Well I agree with him that Eugene is incredible.... just think you would dig Nero 1.

ODIN is not needed likely. It's just to go back to bone stock before trynig a new rom so I know there are no carry-over/possible issues. I have gone from rom to rom with no issues though.... just the safe thing to do.

ODIN is your friend, not sure why your friend is against it, super easy....

Also, you can change the superman logo in eugenes rom. There is a guide on his site...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murdamo305:
thanks for the quick post s15274n

i saw when i booted into recovery that i can do a restore/stock restore, thats not the same thing that odin will do ?

and shouldnt i be able to switch back an forth from roms with no error?

cuz i feel when i flash a new rom, it doesnt actually install it because of the triangle exclamation mark error.

i think ima go through ur sig and restore the whole thing, will that mean i gotta root it again? thats the one thing i didnt pay attention when my boy was doing it.

to busy smoking kush :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willsnews:
Odin will and can help you if things get a little crazy that program has saved a lot of phones its as useful as the phone is I'm new to android as well I've been with it since like september right around the time I got this phone I learn new stuff everyday if you want a good setup I'm runnin nerov1 +voodoo jl1+jl1 modem it works great the battery life if a little iffy so if that's a big deal to you id say go with jk6 modem ai great its got good battery as well as connection
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^^ You can check the ALT METHOD in the noob guide. It has an ODIN that is stock froyo leak with root already.... you can use that and then flash Nero 1 or Eugene on top... I personally would go with Nero as it worked better on my phone.

You can use Backup/Restore in CWR to switch back and forth, yes... BUT, when you restore, it will NOT restore the kernel so you need to make sure the roms/kernels you are going to/from play well.

Both Nero and Eugene play very well with the Super IO kernel.

So I've been using launcherpro to skin my phone out, but the torch widget just doesn't fit with everything else in my theme. Does anyone know where the icon for it would be located? I assume it's in the apk but how should I go about editing that? Sorry for what is probably a stupid question, I just can't figure this out and searching hasn't helped at all.

[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
Hi there,

Does anyone out there how to preserve/restore the transient state of a CheckBox and/or Radio button?

So far, I'm using the following code, working for textbox

Public Sub PreserveState_TextBox(ByVal TB As TextBox)

Dim buffer As String = String.Empty
If True = PhoneApplicationService.Current.State.ContainsKey(TB.Name) Then
buffer = TryCast(PhoneApplicationService.Current.State(TB.Name), String)
If Not String.IsNullOrEmpty(buffer) Then
TB.Text = buffer
End If
End If

End Sub

Public Sub RestoreState_TextBox(ByVal TB As TextBox)

If True = PhoneApplicationService.Current.State.ContainsKey(TB.Name) Then
PhoneApplicationService.Current.State.Remove(TB.Name)
End If
PhoneApplicationService.Current.State.Add(TB.Name, TB.Text)

End Sub

it possible to modify the above code to work for Checkbox and/or Radiobutton?

If not, any ideas?

So far, I've been trying the sample "Tombstoning" sample code from Microsoft without any luck...

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] keyboardP:
Hi,

I'm not a VB developer, but storing the state of a checkbox is not much different from storing any other primitive type. What you could do is have a bool variable "isCbChecked" and store that bool state in your PhoneApplicationService.State.

PhoneApplicationService.Current.State.Add("isCbChecked", myCheckbox.IsChecked)

Then, when you're restoring your app, simply do

myCheckbox.IsChecked = (bool)PhoneApplicationService.Current.State.ContainsKey("isCbChecked");
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
Thanks a lot for your fast reply.

Can I ask for additional help on how to make your statements into generic procedures, at least to take them to something similar to what I posted?

Don't care if it's in C#

Thanks in advance!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] keyboardP:
Off the top of my head, something like this should work (C# code).

public static T RestoreState<T>(string key)
{
if (PhoneApplicationService.Current.State.ContainsKey(key))
{
return (T)PhoneApplicationService.Current.State[key];
}
return null;
}

'T' is the type that will be used. In C# 'T' is a special character denoting the generic type, not something I just used :)

So in the code above, the return type is 'T' and when using RestoreState, it will be 'RestoreState<Textbox>("TB.Name");'. The value of 'TB.Name' will be searched within the dictionary and, if it's found, it will cast that object as 'T' (Textbox) and return it, otherwise it will return null.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
Hi,

So far, I did the following and while no error is raised, nothing happens...

Public Function Backup(ByVal token As String, ByVal value As Object) As Boolean
If Nothing Is value Then
Return False
End If

Dim store = PhoneApplicationService.Current.State
If store.ContainsKey(token) Then
store(token) = value
Else
store.Add(token, value)
End If

Return True
End Function

Public Function Restore(Of T)(ByVal token As String) As T
Dim store = PhoneApplicationService.Current.State
If Not store.ContainsKey(token) Then
Return Nothing
End If

Return CType(store(token), T)
End Function

I call them as follows

Backup(Me.CheckBox_1.Name, Me.CheckBox_1)

Restore(Of CheckBox)(Me.CheckBox_1.Name)

Don't where is the error, maybe you could take a look and help me out.

Any help is much appreciated!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] keyboardP:
Where are you calling the Backup and Restore functions? Since your doing page specific things, you could do it in the OnNavigatedFrom and OnNavigatedTo methods, respectively.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
Hi,

I'm calling them in the OnNavigatedTo and OnNavigatedFrom methods, as you pointed out

Unfortunately, nothing happens at all!

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] keyboardP:
Hi,

As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with your saving/loading code. When you call

"Restore(Of CheckBox)(Me.CheckBox_1.Name)", is that returning a bool? You need to assign that bool to the checkbox:

myCheckbox.IsChecked = Restore(Of CheckBox)(Me.CheckBox_1.Name);

Also, all variables are reset when the page loads, so make sure you have set "myCheckbox.IsChecked" anywhere else on the page that could be called when the page loads.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
Please, check the converted code of the above functions, to C#

public bool Backup(string token, object value)
{

if (null == value)
{
return false;
}

var store = PhoneApplicationService.Current.State;
if (store.ContainsKey(token))
{
store(token) = value;
}
else
{
store.Add(token, value);
}

return true;

}

public T Restore<T>(string token)
{

var store = PhoneApplicationService.Current.State;
if (! (store.ContainsKey(token)))
{
return default(T);
}

return (T)(store(token));

}

Do you think they are OK?

How should I call them ?

Clearly, the restore does not returns a boolean...

Honestly, I'm lost now!

Hope this helps to find the culprit.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] keyboardP:
It seems okay to me. You'll have to do some debugging. Set a breakpoint inside the Backup and Restore methods. Step through each line and make sure it's going to the line you expect it to and that the value being set is the correct one.

I haven't seen the tombstoning sample from MSDN, but can you get that to work? If so, is the generic method causing the problem? Or can you not get it to work at all?
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
Hi,

Sorry for the delay in getting back, but I was trying different codes and at least I found the cause.

Me.NavigationService.Navigate(New Uri("/PivotPage1.xaml?Name=" & "John", UriKind.Relative))
[B]Me.NavigationService.GoBack[/B]()
Me.NavigationService.Navigate(New Uri("/PivotPage1.xaml", UriKind.Relative))

Everything works fine, and the Checkbox state is saved/restored (in the Pivot Page) if I GO BACK using the GoBack hardware button or Me.NavigationService.GoBack

But, the state's dictionary entry is lost or ignored if I go back with the Navigate service (lines 1 and 3)...

Problem is that I need to get back with the query string...

The query string contains a value taken in the SelectedItem event of PAGE2's ListBox, and automatically once retrieved must go back.

I didn't know until know, that NavigationService.Navigate creates a new page instance or something like that in the backstack...

Any sugestions are welcomed!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] keyboardP:
Hi,

There are various methods you can use depending on the app's architecture. For example, you could have a 'shared' class that contains a shared field that holds the SelectedItem value. When the user selects the item, set the shared field's value and then when you go back, you can get the value from the shared field.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
So, no other way to cope with the navigation service?

It's a strange behaviour for sure...

Will try your ideas.

Thanks a lot for your reply!
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] keyboardP:
There are other ways. For example, instead of using the PhoneApplicationService to store the tombstoning information, you could put it in a querystring for page 2. Then, in page 2, you could add the information from the previous page to a querystring AND the information of the selected item to the querystring. Navigate to page 1, with the querystring that contains information on what was there before and what the user selected. Tombstoning is there for when the user presses the hardware search button, home button, a phone call arrives etc.. It's not there for the navigation of the app. That's where querystrings, shared variables, binary serialization etc... come into play.

The concept of the navigation service is similar to a website. For example, when you submit something and then go back, it might still be there in the page state. However, if you submit something and then reload the previous page by typing it in the address bar, it becomes a completely new page as no state is stored.
[Windows Phone 7 Software Development] GFR_2009:
Hi,

Will try your suggested approach, and thanks a lot for the last explanation on how the darn thing works.

so ever since i started flashingn different roms ive had a strange mms issue. when i try to send an mms, the recipient receives a blank text. except for my mother.

at first i thought it was carrier related, ive got tmobile, shes got us cellular (basic messaging phone), but my girlfriend who also has uscc, doesnt get them. so i thought, maybe a smartphone on uscc will get it, nope. then i tried sending to phones on vzw, sprint, and att. all get blank texts.

i have not tried sending any over wifi. currently on cm6.1.1, kernel version 12.28b.60.14eU_26.03.02.26_M

The new Android Market (vending.apk) had lot's of alignment issues on MIUI ROMs. Here's a fixed vending.apk that Absolute on MIUI-Dev put together. Just flash it and enjoy!

There are some random issues with new market and MIUI. When I first installed the market I pushed it via ADB and that caused the market not to work. The next time I flashed a zip and it worked. I've seen people reporting that sometimes it takes many attempts to get it to work.

i did a clean wipe [data and dalvich] twice to be safe even with amon_ra's..i know its amon's but im just picky

installed miui 12.3_final.zip and booted into it WITHOUT installing the new market yet, and then i opened up the old market to make sure even that was working and to get everything in the cache's memory

reboot..

install barnacles-update-vending-v2.2.6.zip [he claims this fixes the fc issues]

reboot..

let everything load and try the market it should work..it did for me

reboot..and installed the 12.3.1.update.zip over that and it still worked..

the alignment issues are still off so far and i havent tested the fixed alignment .zip yet and ill update after i have..

if anyone is successful in this, or unsuccussful let me know

i have a stock miui kernal also so that might be it...i dunno yet

im flashing the trickle battery kernal now, update in a bit

so I took my epic to a sprint store to get a new screen. got it back and turned it on. found out they deleted a few games and my task killer. and for some reason, my phone could not get an service whatsoever. it says I am in roaming with no bars and I know that's wrong because I get full bars in my house. also, I cannot send or receive calls or texts. after n hour on the phone with sprint, they couldn't fix it and they finally just switched my service to an older phone. I will go to a sprint store at a current date but I'm on vacation and don't have a chance to go to the store.

so, any ideas what mightve happened? and ideas how I should go about talking to sprint to get this issue fixed?

thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
We will need to know more about the phone. Are you running stock ROM or not? Are you rooted? I am guessing that since you took it into the store that you were running it stock and unrooted. Give us some more details and we might be able to be more help.

It looks like you might need to factory reset, but you can d/l a backup program to save all the .apks for the apps you have gotten from the market, or you can root the phone and get a better backup program. I would not recommend using clockwork recovery as, I believe, it will back up everything and might just restore the phone to its unusable state. That being said it couldn't hurt to try Clockwork recovery and if you just have to wipe the phone again you can.

It's really annoying when you take a phone into Sprint and they just make matters worse. One time I took a phone it for an issue with the screen and they actually broke the screen further and then refused to figure out a way to fix it.
[Epic 4G General] fromchaos0646:
I'm rooted and I'm running the latest epic experience based off of dk28. was not able to odin completely back to stock before taking it to the store. they never said anything about it being the wrong firmware.

when I returned home, it was too late to actually do anything about the issue, so I called tech support. the woman worked me through some tests and nothing indicated what was wrong and therefore there's no solution to it. she finally just said that its a hardware malfunction, which it could be. only way to get that fixed is to go to the sprint store whenever I'm able to, which might not be for a while.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Yeah I don't think it's a hardware issuer personally. If you haven't tried wiping the phone and starting fresh that would be my first step. The fact is that if it's hardware you will end up with a fresh phone anyhow, so why not factory reset the phone and see if it fixes the problem...also maybe uninstall the last few apps you downloaded. They might be messing with your radios.
[Epic 4G General] Gersonian:
Did they choc the screen? If stop I guess it's possible that they messed up your radios at thst point.
