[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
OK i plugged into the back of the computer and ditched the hub. Got ODIN to recognize the device. Unfortunately I didn't load the .pit file as the first reply didn't mention it (not upset, not complaining, I should have known better). ODIN reads file analysis for over 10 minutes now. Not sure if I should unplug and restart the process with the .pit file or am I going to permanently brick the phone?

edit: unplugged and restarted process. Now the pit file will not come up in the ODIN screen when I search for it with the pit button.......I've tried every download I can, but it doesn't see the file. I've tried to extract it, but nothing happens. What am i doing wrong, beside being over my head?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silow:
Download the 512 pit file from here. It's compressed in RAR format so you will need to unRAR it. The pit file should end in .pit

When you click the PIT button in Odin it will allow you to browse to the *.pit file
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
Ok, now I'm back up to stock and it seems as though everything is working ok. Have a new problem trying to root. Will research and start a new thread if needed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
For the life of me I couldn't get the pit file to populate the ODIN box for the file. In the end I reverted to the original post and just dropped in the JFD. I did not click on repartition and left the pit file blank. Everything came back up fine without the pit file. I am trying to re-root the phone, but when I boot the update.zip file in recovery it says something about e:/sdcard/update.zip not being valid and I have to reboot..but everything comes back fine in stock. I am happy the phone is back, but I would love to re-root it and get back to where it was or maybe flash a 2.2 rom. Thanks again for all of your guys' help. Definitely saved me from being at T-Mo looking at a new phone......
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richtertrevor78:
You may have to put the root file back on. I have had to odin hundreds of times and sometimes the file on my cell somehow gets lost. Even of it still says it is there.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silow:
Try this update.zip file. It's from one of the early root methods for JFD.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
That's because when you install ROM Manager, it replaces the root "Update.zip" with a ClockworkMod "Update.zip". So when Odin back to stock you need to replace the ClockworkMod "Update.zip" with the root "Update.zip".
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtiryan:
Thanks again for the help. I am having a hard time even getting into recovery mode. Can't seem to get it right. Is this problem I'm having possibly related the fact that I didn't repartition the sd card? Just wondering. Also an earlier post said that I needed to replace the root update.zip instead of having the clockwork update.zip. How would I go about replacing this file? Getting closer to the end of the road.....

Root it and install a custom rom, if it powers on its not broken... the software got corrupted somehow...

how is he supposed to root it if he can't get past the splash screen?

I would suggest taking it apart again and checking all the connections. Good luck ;)

Hi.

I'v installed CM6.1-RC2 rom.

It's nice but I can't find any music app supporting Dolby mobile.

I'v simply copy HTC music app.apk from the original DHD

and paste it my phone. but it doesn't work.

How could I get HTC's music app in my phone?

or Is there any app supporting Dolby mobile?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] jambamkin:
Afaik sense apps only run on sense roms. With the minor exception of the keyboard.

You can do some music effects with dsp manager.

sent from my DHD
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Aamir.Badat:
Can't you just flash that app through recovery?
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] lynxboy:
You can't just copy the APK as the music app requires the Sense (Rosie) Framework. While CM will never implement any vendor specific framework or apps, it is possible to implement running the framework on AOSP ROMs.

Right now I suggest you try Poweramp as it has some excellent features.

Personally, I've stuck using the CoreDroid ROM when normally I'm AOSP all the way, mainly because the SRS feature makes a huge difference to my music which is one of the primary uses for my phone.

You best ask Santa for a Dev for Xmas! :)

Regards.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Aamir.Badat:
Same here i love the SRS option thats why iv stuck with LeeDROID's ROM cannot wait for 1.3 hoping the base will be gingerbread ;)
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] wansigi:
OK.. I think that it is impossible Dolby mobile works with CM6.1 rom.. h'm..I need to choose eigther CM or Dolby

Thank u guys

Wondering if anyone knows of a high quality matte screen protector that doesn't mess with the sharpness of the screen. I'm looking into getting a G Tablet, but the screen appears to be too reflective.
[G Tablet Accessories] tyy10002:
I saw one in Ebay with anti-glare and etc and is designed for the G-tab (perfect fit) but it costs $29 dollars.
[G Tablet Accessories] lordgodgeneral:
B&E has a matte antiglare for $19.99

They also have several others from a Buck and up
[G Tablet Accessories] snipestech:
30 buck for a screen protector !

expensive!

Would be nice this thing is a fingerprint magnet!!!
[G Tablet Accessories] andygee:
I bought the screen protectors from amazon and from ebay. The ebay one is a much better protector and leaves it looking much more like the glass. This is the one that I'm having good luck with so far.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Just to demonstrate the power of Steam, I hereby provide you a Steam Powered Gingerbread

This is based on SC's idea of using /data to store the gingerbread files, which works even if FSR is not loaded.

I also went forward and fixed the keyboard issue, so now the home, back and menu buttons work as expected! Oh, and also added recovery mode (running steam recovery of course :) ), that can be opened using the ususal three button combo. ("adb reboot recovery" or similar will not work however)

What still doesn't work:

- Wifi

- Modem (3g and phone)

- Camera

- Gps

Installation:

1. Download the system dump from here, and put the file on the root of your internal SD card

2. If not already on ext2 or ext4, convert your /data partition to ext4. (because the next step requires Steam Recovery, I'd go with Steam kernel, if your current one doesn't support ext on /data)

3. Download the afterburner install files from here

4. Create a steam directory on your internal sdcard, and put the previously downloaded file there. If there are other afterburner*.zip files there, delete them.

5. Enter Steam Recovery (there are multiple ooptions on how you can get it), choose afterburner, select both options, then press "Install". This will take a while. You might want to switch to log window 1, where you can see the /system extraction progress

6. After finished, reboot. Gingerbread will boot up.

7. If asked to install Steam kernel you can do so, but first read note.

8. Enjoy. To switch back, flash any kernel. If you want your old data back, flash a kernel with ext4 support.

9. If you switched back to a "normal" kernel, you can use afterburner to get back to gingerbread too. Only select the second option when running afterburner, and on the next reboot, gingerbread will greet you in a state as you've never left it.

Note: A steam kernel installation requires you to reboot into recovery after installing it. On base Galaxy S ROMs this is done automatically, but gingerbread's kernel lacks the commands needed to programmatically reboot into recovery. Therefore it will always reboot into normal android mode, where he finds out that he needs to reboot into recovery, but boots into normal mode, etc... to exit this loop simply reboot into recovery manually (using the three button combo), to finish installation of Steam Kernel. You will be greeted with the afterburner window, press back without selecting any of the options (they won't work anyway), and you're done.

Alternate install: Of course you don't need afterburner to install this. Simply follow the instructions on supercurio's page, but use the kernel found inside afterburner.zip, instead of the one provided on the mentioned thread. /data needs to be converted to ext4 though.

Source:

Steam Kernel: https://github.com/SteamMOD (all directories starting with android_bootable_steam_ / tag 2.9.9.1)

Fixed kernel: https://github.com/SteamMOD/steam_kernel_ns_on_galaxys

Initramfs: https://github.com/SteamMOD/steam_initramfs_galaxys/tree/master/ns-on-sgs-i9000

You can compile it by yourselves using the Android Compiler VM 2.0 with the compiler scripts found here
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] DemonWav:
Not exactly following you on how to install the Steam Kernel. Do I need to pull the battery at some point? If so, when? If not, what am I supposed to to do manually get it into recovery mode? No matter what I do I am always greeted with "Steam doesn't seem to be installed, or it was recently uninstalled." etc.

Amazing. i will pay you the 2011 Sziget if that works. lol
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aanze:
Hmmmm nothing happens when I choose "Install" in afterburner menu.. It seems to be instant. Just like it didn't found the install file.

I named the folder "steam" at the root and put the afterburner.zip into it though..

Edit: Okay I'm f***** stupid, didn't check the two options. It works now.. really sorry

Edit2: It seems like I'm stuck in steam recovery. Everytime I reboot I get this message : "Partition /res/.fake/gingerbread/cache could not be mounted!"

The "format partition to ext4" function doesn't seem to work as well. Same for the proposition of installing Steam kernel..

I had my /data partition formatted in ext4 via voodoo though.

So basically, whatever choice I make, it'll never boot... Do I have any other solution than a flash with odin to get something working ?

Whats work on this one
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jaju123:
Yeah what works?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aanze:
Solved this by:

- flashing Steam kernel using Odin

- going to Steam features in steam recovery and choosing no rfs ext 4 conversion

- install afterburning

- reboot

-> done :)

Still, this apn issue is very anoying.. Can't get any internet connection either 3g or wifi..

Please people, instead of asking what's working a thousand time, please keep reading the thread and let the users the ability to help each other by not flooding..

Hi sztupy !

I see you forked everything, are you interested into team work with developers from other Galaxy S models & CyanogenMod or is it just a quick technological demo?

Lots of work going on, modem baseband, YAFFS usage, dynamic OneNAND repartitioning, support of every Galaxy S variant in a common Kernel, with also a goal to stay as compatible as possible with the Nexus S.

ps: I'm known as supercurio
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aanze:
Yeaaaaaah.. You know, nobody's complaining.. Just wondering if it was normal that the basis function of my phone - that is to say: phone function - is not working as I can't set any APN. That's all, no complaining, just asking, besides it contributes to provide feeedback. Now if the only thing you can anwser is "don't say what works or not", well I dont think your posts are more usefull than a lot here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] thebazman:
read the OP he tells you whats not working thats why hes saying about complaining

What still doesn't work:

- Wifi

- Modem (3g and phone)

- Camera

- Gps

so thats tells me not to write my phones not working or how my wifi doesnt work
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] g00ndu:
The purpose of this thread is to show the functionality of the steam kernel. Let's not digress into another gingerbread rom discussion, shall we?

@sztupy,

Please do join forces with the team, your expertise is certainly required to make the sgs better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Yeah, just saw you put up actually the link to the used kernel sources. And that the buttons were fixed in an alternate way. I too plan on fixing the remaining stuff, so you can add me if you want. If not, I'll only do some push requests occasinally.

ps: You complain too much.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aanze:
My bad... But I would have swear this was not written a few time ago.. Anyway, sorry for inconvenience..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
OK lets ignore the latest comment.

I added you to the linux_samsung_galaxys_port repo admins, so you can write directly to it.

There is a second repo, linux_samsung_galaxys_port_reviewed, when code arrives at a much slower after being discussed/reviewed by the team.

Also, welcome to the IRC channel: access in your MP box in a few seconds!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nonato:
thats great to hear. i dont mind the forked projects as you can always share code and or mix and match code to make the best possible rom.

Does the usb debugging work? I already tried supercurio's version with no luck.

If not does anyone knows an alternative to get to kernel log?

Thanks

Install the latest USB debug drivers form the latest Android SDK, they support Nexus S (and yes, the phone imitates Nexus S over the usb)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] sztupy:
Btw. you can install root, using steam recovery, then install a console application.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rellonaut:
My HTC Hero has various touchscreen problems among others. The main problem is the touch sensors do not work properly. I have to reboot the phone to get it working for a small while (roughly 10 minutes) before the screen craps out and does some very weird things:

It thinks I am constantly touching the top region of the screen

The touch sense overloads, meaning it senses the presense of anything around it. It is the weirdiest thing I have ever seen. I can hover my finger over the screen and it will allow me to control the touchscreen. :confused:

None of the other areas of the screen are functional except for the top, and whenever I touch the screen the Notigcations bar would come down. Sometimes this isn't the case and the phone just doesn't do anything upon touching the screen.

The battery life is very low.

Bootinf the phone takes a lot more time than when I first bought it, this is somewhat understandable however, having gone through many operation system changes.

I've lost all hope. :(
