[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
I do not think I flashed clockwork with odin, what I did is installed the dj05 Radio with odin by checking pda and finding the file, then pressing start. after that, the phone rebooted and I installed rom manager. Once in rom manager I installed the latest clockworkmod recovery 2.5.1.0. I do not have an update.zip file there on the root of my sdcard. what did I do wrong? How do I fix it? THanks

in about phone I can see that baseband version is s:i500 V.DJ05
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
The fascinate is different from other phones you need to flash clockwork through odin then in rom manager here is a link on how to flash through odin

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=788099

Flash that, then delete any update.zips on your sd card, then in rom manager flash clockwork and it will download an update.zip that when applied from stock recovery will take you into clockwork... Once all that is done if you already have the modem installed boot into clockwork and select install zip and find the DJ05 rom you downloaded, flash that and you should be all set...
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
Thank you, I was just about to post that same link here and ask you if this was the correct guide to follow. I just booted into the familiar clockwork and now I am flashing all the good stuff. will update later.
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
well something went bad, I rebooted and I can see the samsung logo but the there is no splash screen after that only sound. the screen is completely black after that. NOW WHAT??:confused::eek:
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
No problem ill check back to make sure all went well
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
that is really weird, same thing happen but I tried unlocking the phone event though the screen was completely black and it did unlock. Have you heard of this happening?
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
What did you flash?
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
No that's different so it's working now though?
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=869990&highlight=dj05

go near the bottom of this guide, youll see system/rom and also kernel links. thats what I flashed.
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
You flashed both system and kernel? And did you wipe data/cache?
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
yeah, seems to be working fine, I am afraid to reboot the phone and have it completely die on me. did I flash the correct kernel and rom?
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
yes flashed both in order that they are listed.

I did factory reset, I though cache was included in that reset, wrong?
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
No you should be ok, and if you flashed the rom/kernel from that thread you are good...
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
I rebooted and it does the same, no splash screen. I waited a few seconds to make sure it booted all the way and the screen turn on by it self. seems like somehow I messed up the splash screen. I am going to try and go back to stock then try this again. I tested the gps on all 3 of my phones. white one is still doing the best, OG one (stock) is still doing same as before and the new one with dj05 is using more sats that the OG(6/8), but the OG has more sats in view (5/9). Is that weird?
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
That djo5 kernel from thread does not support boot animations. It's normal for that kernel.

good day.
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
Correct, thanks chopper I forgot about that :)
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
thanks, weird there is no mention of that on the guide. I fell like there was no huge improvement with the DJ05. I will test further later after getting some sleep. kinda feel unaccomplished after 4 hours of tinkering... suggestions anyone?
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
Get some sleep lol...my biggest improvement was really the gps, I don't know about the stats or even why it helps lol, I just know that i literally never got a lock before and now I get one in under ten seconds every time....
[Fascinate General] The_Tech_Ninja:
My DJ05 takes about 5 mins to lock on. I don't get it. I'm using the latest voodoo too.
[Fascinate General] scriz:
Insta-lock with wireless networks enabled, I'm guessing.

Same here, but as soon as I disable wireless networks I get nothing.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
3 seconds and bam! No wefi's involved. Stock deodexed dj05 w/sf1.54. That's the way it has been for since dj05.

good day. From the Fascinate sporting the XDA app.
[Fascinate General] jazzyjames:
2x for me too, insta lock with wireless on. Has anyone seen if leaving wireless on with this phone drains the battery? I know on the Eris that was the case.
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
I believe you, but I wonder why it is not the case for me. I always see people saying fixes dont work for them while they always work for me (had OG droid, incredible, and gtablet). I always thought they did something wrong or did not follow instructions step by step. Wonder if I goofed something...

anyone know if the hardware fix that they found on the vibrant works on the fascinate?
[Fascinate General] jonagpa:
Ok this is just not making any sense.

I just realized there is a option on "gps status" app that tells you how many seconds it took to acquire gps. So i cleared the A-gps data from gps status app and turn off gps. did a battery pull, waited 1 min or so, turn on the phone, turned gps on, then opened gps status. On my OG fascinate with NO FIXES I got 3s fix, on the new fascinae with DJ05 it took 7s, on the white fascinate with no fixes it has not locked at all after waiting 5 mins. What is going on!!!!!

The OG fascinate was always giving me bad positions and taking very long to lock but now is the fastest LMAO in frustration!:mad:

maybe people are not really fixing anything with the DJ05, they just think they are because of a reboot or something. I have three phones so I can really test the difference that some people may not have the opportunity to do.

anyone know how to completely clear gps data? is the tool on GPS Status good enough. I remember reading something about clearing gps with an app or adb push but cant find the post now.
[Defy General] snath83:
Hi, after i thought i had bricked my new defy while trying to do some stuff with Root Explorer, i realised that we could retain the downloaded stuff in the phone even after a hard reset. here is how to do it:

We will need the following:

1. Z4Root

2. Root Explorer

3. Apks (applications) you want to retain

steps:

1. root your defy with Z4root. There are other methods available too but i used the z4root (permanent root)

2. install root explorer.

3. install your apks (or if they are already installed then skip this step)

4. open Root explorer after rooting your defy

5. it will state that Root explorer is requesting for superuser access

6. accept superuser access

7. go to /data/app and locate the apks. click on Mount R/W. Use multi selet if multiple apps need to be removed.

8. go to /system/app and mount r/w. Paste the apks there.

9. IMP: Do not rename the installed app names.

10. You can copy (not move) root explorer to /system/app for the same purpose. Uninstall the Root explorer from Application settings once done -> this will remove root explorer copy from the /data/app and when you reboot your phone the copy in the /system/app should be loaded (at least that is how i did)

Let me know in case you are unsuccessful.

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] reukiodo:
Motivation:

Ever since I got S-OFF on my G1, I set up a custom splash image. I've wanted to change this on the MyTouch Slide (espresso) since the moment I got it. Now that we have S-OFF, here's how to do this on the espresso.

Info:

The espresso stores the splash image on a write-protected area of the nand. By default, this is a white background with the red/gray '-T---Mobile-' logo with green 'MyTouch 3G Slide' logo in the center of the screen.

Prerequisite:

Must have S-OFF! see [STATUS] S-OFF for T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide and alpharev

Install and get familiar with the Android SDK see Android SDK | Android Developers also [HOW-TO] ADB for Dummies(How-To Learner's Guide) G1 Android Development

Windows:

Extract the ffmpeg.exe file from the bin folder in ffmpeg-r25512.7z

- or Shortcut - get the getsplash.zip from gariak

Install the adb (Android Composite ADB Interface) and fastboot (Android Bootloader Interface) drivers from the android-sdk-windows\usb_driver folder

Mac:

Might find this ffmpeg guide helpful - An easy install of the ffmpeg command line tool - Mac OS X Hints

Flash:

You can set the splash by converting an image you want to a 320x480 resolution PNG file, then use ffmpeg to convert it to raw565 format using the command line:

ffmpeg -i new_splash.png -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 new_splash.img

On your computer, you can turn this back into a PNG using ffmpeg from the command line:

ffmpeg -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 -s 320x480 -i new_splash.img -f image2 new_splash.png

Then with an unlocked (S-OFF) bootloader, flash the new_splash.img file to your phone:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 new_splash.img
fastboot reboot

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] reukiodo:
The original instructions are not platform specific. This should work on Linux, Mac, and Windows. Ubuntu should already have an ffmpeg package... Installing the android sdk will be a little bit more than 'aptitude install ffmpeg' though...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:

[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Don't put it on your sdcard, it has to be on your computer somewhere. Pretty sure fastboot doesn't mount your sdcard.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] zygut:
seems like the best way to do this is via fastboot:

0. fastboot flash splash1 debianarchy.img

1. reboot phone while holding volume down to get into fastboot
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
As far as I know it isn't the best way, it's the only way. Flash_image flashes data img files, not raw picture files, at least I think. I could be wrong and if a dev would like to correct me go right ahead.

iOS =/= Android. Comparing apples to oranges, mate.

Anything that's specialized on Android or a proprietary OEM app usually had to be coded in as part of their custom framework. For instance, just about every Android phone has an FM radio reciever chip but only the phones with SenseUI(possibly Blur/TouchWiz too, but I know Sense for sure) have it enabled natively(until the MIUI team figured out how to do it without Rosie on the Nexus One.)

Thia phone is pure stock Android, meaning if this phone cant do something straight out of the box or its missing a feature found on TouchWiz/Sense then it isn't supported without their framework or massively awesome custom hackery. Am I saying it can't be done? Nah, someone more clever than I might come up with a way as that is what this community does best.

But for now, TouchWiz is probably going to be required for any Samsung apps found only on Galaxy S android devices..
