No. The Vodafone rep probably thought you meant a SIM PIN lock. It is possible to require a PIN for sending calls. If that is your problem, then a new SIM will fix it. If it is the device PIN that lets you into the phone, then a hard reset is your only recourse, unfortunately. Once you get it back up and running, I'd still suggest using S2U2 to avoid this problem again. The only reason to use the WM PIN lock is if your Exchange account requires it.

First of all, I tried to be very careful when preparing to remove voodoo from my phone and read as much as I could before attempting. I tried the disble-lagfix method first and during the reboot, heard the woman's voice say "successful." The phone rebooted no problem.

I then downloaded geeknik's D101 kernal from ROM manager and flashed through CWM recovery. After the phone rebooted, i'm still getting the "1200_voodoo_bootanimation_0.2.zip" boot animation. Is this normal or did I do something wrong? And if it is normal, how do I get back to the stock boot animation?

It also looks like I've lost the new version of the Market and now have the old one. Does anyone know how I can get tthe new one back?

Thank you to all the devs for all that you do and any help that you may be able to provide. It is MUCH appreciated.
[Fascinate General] Neuman.Tim:
Download rom manager to do up a different boot animation as well as flash the new market. Both are under Download ROM>>sonofskywalker3. Should be self explanatory from there. No need to wipe for either of those installs (boot animation or market) and yes it is normal as flashing a different kernel does not necessarily replace the boot animation zip file. Simple fix. You should have it how you want again in no time :)

For the record in boot/shutdown animations where it says galaxy s (no verizon) that just means the stock verizon logo that comes up after the galaxy s animation will not come up.

[Fascinate General] Smitty9803:
Nice! Thanks alot, I was starting to think I screwed something up.

Also, before installing voodoo a few months ago, I did not create a nandroid backup so now I have to restore my phone manually. Now that I have gotten rid of voodoo and flashed a new kernal, can I create a nandroid backup through CWM recovery for future use if need be?
[Fascinate General] Neuman.Tim:
Yes. Go into rom manager and make sure clockwork is installed (I'm sure it is if you did the modifications from earlier) and scroll down to backup current rom. Select that option. Also if you would like to backup your apps and data use a program called titanium backup. Pro is worth it for one click restore lol

[Fascinate General] Smitty9803:
Yeah I figured out the backup process soon after that post. Thanks for your input though! This is alot easier than I thought it was. Haha

And as far as Titanium backup, I had that installed and everything backed up before I disabled voodoo. I had it scheduled to backup twice a week and even did a quick backup prior to disabling. When I rebooted, everything that showed in TB were apps from months ago (October) and none of my current apps were showing up. I have no idea what happened.

Luckily I took screenshots of my app drawer so I would know what to download if I lost my apps...haha.

[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Yeah, just turn off mobile data on the phone, or remove the SIM card, either or. Voila, WiFi only!

If you're not interested in voice calling, there's no need to reflash, you're just editing a file to unlock it, that you can replace with the backup you should have made.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] icolorado303:
I came from an iPhone 4 and I really liked how you could back up the phone and after you install a fresh OS you click"restore from backup" and it would put all the apps, passwords etc. back to exactly how you had it.... As far as I know theres nothing like that for android.

Does anyone know some apps or processes that would essentially do that before I root?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Durkbeef:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nitemare3219:
Sync will only back up the apps you had downloaded through market and will re-download them later on after a wipe if you so choose. As far as backing up passwords etc, a program such as Titanium Backup may work, but I know you can use ADB or terminal and go through the databases pulling files for each thing you want to keep, then pushing them after you have everything back up and running to get that specific data back on there.

Titanium Backup will do most of what you want. Install it, press menu go to Batch then run Backup of User Apps.

Then when you go to restore it all go back to Batch, then restore User Apps and Data.

i am a big big fan of touchwiz. i tried the other launchers and i always went back to touchwiz.

except this time. kinda.

literally, the only thing that is keeping me from using this launcher as my main launcher is that the weather channel wide widget is not generating every time i try. i like this thing that much. it is so much snappier on obsidian 4.2 (yes i know there are other versions out there, but i feel safer using the version on their website as i figure its the finished version) than the modded tw launcher in use there. like noticably faster and more responsive. i will definitely be keeping my eye on its development.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] villaparv:
I have tried the Go Launcher for a while. It's pretty good and it's faster than ADW.

In addition, it uses less memory than the ADW and LP. One thing I'd like to see

is the capability to hide the Dock as in ADW. And apparently, ADW has so many

themes which is really attractive.

But overall, Go launcher is a good choice.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] domtru:
zeam launcher

Go launcher is aight, takes up a lot of memory and causes phone to lag after a while. Honestly, try the zeam launcher. Way way better. The app drawer can hold a lot of apps. you'll love it!

Speaking of go, the sms app is the best I've used thus far. Maybe I'll give the launcher a try.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] allthrottle:
I'd pass on go launcher if I were you. I tried it for 2 days last week and ended up hating it.

If I spent too much time in an app or just away from the home screen, the launcher would have to reload all of the apps onto the home and app screens. Screen orientation was always buggy as well. Half the time I flipped the screen, the dock bar wouldn't turn with it. I'd have to move to another screen or flip and flip back to get the dock to move. The dock bar email/messaging unread count wouldn't clear after reading either. The app menu scrolling was very choppy, regardless of how long I let it sit to load.

It's a decent looking launcher, but has a ton of bugs still.

[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
Okay so I ran Nenamark on both my Vibrant and Nexus S. To my surprise, Nexus S scored 39.5 FPS while the Vibrant scored 51.8 FPS.

Anyone know what GPU is in the Nexus S? I was under the impression it would be the same as the SGS line; there doesn't seem to be a definite answer either on the forums.

EDIT: Bleh, stupid me. Nenamark displays the GPU information. According to Nenamark, both Nexus S and Vibrant have a PowerVR SGX 540. So why the huge difference in benchmarks?
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
*sigh* these benchmarks are so unscientific
[Nexus S General] gtg465x:
There is some suspicious stuff in the kernel sources that refers to the PowerVR SGX 535 chip. Hope Samsung isn't trying to pull a fast one on us by using a 535 and making it look like a 540 to apps. Interestingly, when trying to boot the Nexus S kernel on a Galaxy S, supercurio ran into display driver failures. Maybe because it's trying to use 535 drivers with a 540?
[Nexus S General] DarkAgent:
Something is definitely up... it makes no sense that with the same hardware Nexus S scores less than Vibrant.
[Nexus S General] slowz3r:
http://www.twitlonger.com/show/7h7r8b

And a Google employee confirmed the same GPU

I already edited the OP to state that Nenamark reads both as a 540. Now the question why are they benchmarking so differently.

[Nexus S General] jokersax11:
someone should give you a cookie. yes this makes sense but it also could have something to do with more tasks moved to the gpu, a different driver, or the changes in gingerbread 3d api that the benchmarks arnt written for
[Nexus S General] Arcadia310:
Hmm that's odd. I think it's a problem with Gingerbread and not so much the actual hardware. Quadrant standard runs terribly on the Nexus S and now Nenamark is giving unusual scores. These developers really need to update these benchmarks, seriously. Quadrant hasn't been updated in so long so undoubtedly that will have problems with the new framework from Gingerbread.
[Nexus S General] Androidfreakz:
I agree with Arcadia310 I believe its also a software issue not a hardware and like he said the apps needed updating.

You guys are probably right, although it seems weird apps wouldn't work on 2.3 seeing as it isn't as big of a update as 2.1 -> 2.2 was.

Neocore is meaningless, because I can reach sixtyfive fps in neocore with my kernel on vibrant at 800mhz.

Far off on nenamark and still maxing neocore on nexus s.

I dont see how you're getting 65 at 800 Mhz

Anyways i posted that before i knew what was actually happening

I tested 2.3 on my vibrant get pretty much same results as NS.

Benchmarks are not optimized for 2.3
[Nexus S General] morfic:
I blame it on 1:27am. (wish i could, but i don't live in the forum's timezone, so an excuseless mistake :P )

run quadrant, the moon orbiting around planet maxes at 65fps, i guess i was actually thinking of that.

guess i should change email address so i know of replies on the phone i made them from.
[Nexus S General] morfic:
I basically just proofed i along with others who had slow performance had a brainfart.

http://db.tt/kXxrBlb (ok, yes, that is Nexus S at 1.2 GHz, but i had like 41.x first time i tried, still proofs pebkac)

on vibrant i got so used to the slow cascading conservative scheduler, i got too lazy to set it to performance when running benchmark to avoid scheduler inefficiencies.

now obviously, the Nexus S uses ondemand by default which has a far different characteristic of upscaling (and more importantly downscaling)

running a test at 1GHz with a defconfig compiled kernel yielded 52fps at 1GHz

best i ever got on 1.4GHz kernel was 54.5ish (i'll have to find it, i have a screenshot with the exact fps)

so these 55.6fps @ 1.2GHz are good news

if stuff truly needs to be optimized for gingerbread and it already beats the vibrant, that would be nice, i suspect it'll all boil down to user error (expect quadrant which is obviously broken)

just felt like sharing these joyous news :)

That's crazy. Yeah, just try calling them and seeing what's up. I just got mine today. I need the unlimited. Sucks I'm paying 4G price for a 3G service though..
[Nexus S General] Belarios:
Someone had to program a computer routine to change all the $10 plans to $30 after the sale had become final. There's no way this happens by accident. Even if they fix it for me later, they're still hoping to catch plenty of people off guard.

It isn't stated anywhere that this phone is any different than all their other phones, and the Best Buy system which connects to the T-mobile computer to verify my plan and eligibility offered me the $10 plan.

I'm just saying, this is why no one cares when someone finds a loophole in a contract to buy a phone for less or cancel their plan without a termination fee: because these guys are out to find ways to charge us more. Intentionally and stealthily changing a contract and then pretending it was the original deal is fraud and it's a crime. But I know...corporations can't go to jail, and they'll just claim it was a computer glitch.
