I use the phone overclocked and non overclock and i cant seem to notice a difference at all in the phones preformance. At stock speeds it is just as fast as overclocked. There doesnt seem any difference in noticable speed of overclocking to me. Do any of you notice a difference.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
i see a difference on some of the more laggy roms but it is small. think about it, the most you can see is a posible 20% at 1200mhz and with cpu scaling it isn't that often it usses 1200. although that is significant you still have the same memory bandwidth and file read/write speeds. the responsiveness difference in the kernel has more to do with available ram and kernel hz. as well as aggressiveness in cpu throttling.

overclocking is more for benchmarks and bragging rights. it's for those that need to tweak and whatever or those that need to say theres is better. i can turn the phone down to 600mhz on the old 2.1 kernels that had that step added in before i could notice and it still wasnt laggy much beyond the normal touchwiz. even 400 was usable.

now if the phone is older and the os and apps push the boundries of its capabilities by all means overclock to keep up with the times. otherwise it is preference for your own personal reasons. i do it to test what the phone is capable of. but i often have it disabled.

there is power locked away in these phones that we havent seen yet, the 3d processor can run opengl at framerates better than older laptops i have used and after all these months no other manufacturer has felt the need to compete with it. some open gl benchmarks are fully twice as high as a droid 2/x and 20% better than the newest htc phones running qualcom chips and even the motorolas are considered to have a power gpu. it is a great gaming platform as is and the gpu is stable at 11% overclock, some phones at 25% overclock and maybe beyond. if you flash a custom rom that doesnt lag and do the whole ext4 or jfs conversion you should be happy with the performance of the phone untill your contract is up and maybe beyond. the technology is accelerating faster than the software.

after honeycomb and dualcore platforms hit the shelves then the software that will take advantage of our hidden power will start to roll out. at this time too many android phones are running at 500-600 mhz with little opengl capability, even the popular 1ghz snapdragon phones like the evo as well as they benchmark cant run 3d applications very well and there popularity is holding up software devlopment is some way. there isnt much money in apps that only run on the top 5% of the phones out there. we will have to wait till the droid2/x galaxy s and g2 and mt4g are the norm and there are faster platforms available before we see great differences in overclocking. maybe honeycomb or whatever comes after that will use some opengl in the ui or something, who knows.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
agreed

overclocking seems pretty pointless at this point other than bragging rights

the only situation i can see it being handy are game emulators
[Captivate General] rastanthology:
Don't forget HQ flash streams on the browser, like some on justin.tv. My personal experience was that at 1 ghz it was a little bit choppy, and according to the rom as well, somewhere between 1.2 and 1.4 it becomes really smooth. Though if I used skyfire to watch it is smooth at stock speed, but some quality is lost in the optimization.

Am I the only one that thinks there is a difference at this? I also think the performance on heavy flash web pages improves when I use oc.

I have not seen any real difference in other than flash performance though... But I was kind of expecting this since in my desktop I had to use oc for it to work smoother as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] ZiCoN:
Seems that there're always someone missing a language in the keyboards for new ROMs... I've gathered working keyboards tested on Darky's v7.7, and to me it looks like most European countries are in there.

Install with rootexplorer.

Unzip the the files in a folder on your sd-card.

BACKUP ORIGINAL FILES FIRST!

files in sys-app goes into /system/app

files in sys-lib goes into /system/lib

Open rootexplorer, go into "system", click "mount R/W" in upper right corner

AFTER you've backed up the original files, find the unzipped files on your sd-card and it's just a question of long press the files (eg. AxT9IME.apk) from from my .zip file on the keyboard you want and select copy, enter /system/app for .apk files, "paste" and let it overwrite, and /system/lib for the .so files.

Take them one by one if you're not used to working with rootexplorer.

When you're done, click the "mount R/O" in upper right corner and your done.

REMEMBER.. you can do serious damage to your rom if you delete or move essential system files.

This is at OWN risk!

If someone is willing to make a CWM zip-file please do, I just like the rootexplorer way better.

[Windows Phone 7 General] 56K:
So from most of what i read the Big Red V is getting the HTC Trophy announced at CES, but the reviews i have read and seen are a bit ho hum.....will there me another WP7 device on Verizon?
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
TBQH, I think WP7 device production will not be as fast as Android is. Microsoft is probably working on drivers for next gen SoC's and adding functionality for the Mango update later this year. I don't think Manufacturers will really commit to it until then.

Also, since WP7 requires "specced" devices there is not that much of a reason for most manufacturers to release a flurry of devices the way HTC and Moto did for Android handsets last year (Droid, Droid X, Droid Pro, Droid 2, G2, MT4G, Incredible, Evo, etc.).

It's good for the platform, but it means WP7 marketshare will probably never compete with Android's because Android has the advantage of always driving people to buy a "latest and greatest" device, while there is less incentive to do that with WP7 handsets (i.e. you know your phone will be updates, the other phone has the same core specs/SoC, etc. etc.).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Omega Ra:
I think there will be more than one for Verizon, I forget where I read it but there was mention of devices, plural, coming to sprint and verizon, I am hoping for a CDMA version of the Omnia 7, since verizon got the first two omnia's I would be mildly surprised if they didn't get the newest incarnation of that line.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 56K:
Well I hope they are released this week so I can make the jump. I played with the HD7 and was blown away with the speed...now I'm hooked.
[Windows Phone 7 General] DavidinCT:
I've been wondering this myself. With Sprint getting the HTC 7 Pro (aka Tp3) and Vzw listed as only getting the Trophy they both must be getting other models.

They are not going to open Windows Phone 7 that has millions of adveristing dollars with 1 phone each.

CES will tell us more..
[Windows Phone 7 General] N8ter:
Yes, there will be more than one. Samsung is known for taking the same phone and putting different variants on every carrier so they may put an Omnia-like WP7 device on Verizon (the biggest US carrier, they already have one on AT&T).

But what I meant is that there is little to no incentive to release a slew of devices on one or a bunch of carriers like they do with Android, because they can't alter the software so drastically to make the phones look different, outside of the chasis type.
[Windows Phone 7 General] 56K:
I just want a 4 inch screen....amoled maybe.....
[Windows Phone 7 General] Seed 2.0:

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkyy:
Hi anyone,

Some things I want to discuss about.

1. DBDATA/databases

You should know that I include a update-script command to delete the /dbdata/databases folder in my ROM to prevent any App related problems.

But I think, since 2.2.1 this won't work anymore.

So does any ROM Dev has a workaround?

Or can someone confirm, that this works?

My update-script command:

delete_recursive DBDATA:databases

2. "rm" or "busybox rm" in a bash script?

When writing a script which gets executed from the update-script, do we need to use a simple "rm" or "busybox rm" for deleting files?

I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that busybox is functional already?

My script:

#!/system/bin/sh
# Script written by darkyy // Joel Staub
# Script to prevent errors during the ROM installation
cd /sdcard
#/sdcard/Darky-Wallpaper
if [ -d "Darky-Wallpaper" ]; then
rm -r "Darky-Wallpaper"
fi
#/sdcard/Gingerbread_Keyboard
if [ -d "Gingerbread_Keyboard" ]; then
rm -r "Gingerbread_Keyboard"
fi
#/sdcard/launcherpro_backup
if [ -d "launcherpro_backup" ]; then
rm -r "launcherpro_backup"
fi
#/sdcard/Voodoo
if [ -d "Voodoo" ]; then
rm -r "Voodoo"
fi
#/sdcard/WindowsPhone7_Icons
if [ -d "WindowsPhone7_Icons" ]; then
rm -r "WindowsPhone7_Icons"
fi
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fr4gg0r:
"busybox rm" is the secure way when you need some functions of the busybox "rm" command, for example "rm -r".

If "rm" exists in /system/bin/ and a "rm" symlink to busybox in /system/xbin/, the shell chooses the one in /system/bin.

If the stock rm binary got removed it will work without busybox, but if not, "rm -r whatever" for example would fail.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkyy:
Thank you very much for this well-written answer.

So, does busybox work even when the ROM is installing?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkyy:
*PUSH*

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawitp:
Busybox works if the initramfs of the kernel used while installing has busybox. (Not the one included in the rom)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkyy:
Thank you dude.

I finished with doing my "rm" commands with busybox.

Will be great for my ROM :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ykkfive:
yes, busybox works even when installing rom

btw, to play safe, u need to chk if it is a symlink with -L, coz -d wont handle symlinks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkyy:
That's no problem ;)

When I shoot a video I can't attach it to my email using Gmail. I keep getting message "file is too large". I am able to attach the same file using Yahoo mail. Can this be fixed for Gmail.

I also tried first composing an email and then attaching a video but when I click "attach" I cannot find my videos only pictures. Where are all the videos stored?

Thanks,

Also, why right after shooting a video, when i try to attach it in my gmail, the file is too big and won't attach? The same file works fine with yahoo mail.

Have you installed kies from samsung? I tried installing just the drivers on my win 7 pc and they wouldn't take either. I then downloaded kies and installed and it seemed to properly install the needed drivers.

Sent from my Axura injected voodoo possessed Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shalom24:
I believe I have installed it twice now, but I will try again. Thanks for the suggestion, I'm pretty much all ears at this point.

EDIT: Well I installed the Samsung Kies mini Apllication and it did its update thing and now I have v1.0.0.10104_1. Doesn't appear to have helped the drivers out..

Question: would anyone think that this particular Vibrant has a defective usb port? I realize that's a long-shot, as well as I would definitely not like hearing that.. but any thoughts?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
It appears that you have a defective USB port on the phone.

Do you have an access to a Linux box? If a current linux distro cannot see your phone via USB it will confirm the DOA USB port on the Vibrant.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shalom24:
Thanks for the reply lqaddict, although it's somewhat sad to hear.. Forgive my ignorance, but by 'Linux Box' you are referring to a Linux machine, correct? If so, then I do not have access to one. Again, forgive me for not knowing, but would running linux (possibly via a bootable Linux cd) on a computer be equivalent?

Since I purchased it used (through Craigslist about three weeks ago (which he said he had purchased two weeks previous)) do you think I might be able to retrieve the receipt from the original owner and perhaps Samsung would be able to help with some sort of warranty?

Thanks again for your response.

EDIT: Well I am running Live CD of Ubuntu 10.10 on another one of my pc's, however, I'm not quite sure I know how to 'check' to see if usb port is properly functioning (sorry I'm not very familiar with Linux, but I imagine I will become increasingly more accustomed to it in the near future). Any ideas for trying out connectivity on Linux?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
When you connect your phone via USB, does a USB connected symbol show up on your phone? Does the battery start charging?

You can issue the following command in the terminal window - should be in Applications->Accessories on Ubuntu (it resembles MS-DOS window under Windows OS)

lsusb

If the Samsung device shows up the USB port on your phone should be working, if however it is not showing up you might have a bigger problem with your phone :(
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shalom24:
Thanks again lqaddict, I'll give it a try..

EDIT: Alright, to answer your first question: yes when I plugged it in while off, it does give the battery charging icon, as well as it does give juice to the battery.

Additionally, I ran the suggested "lsusb" in the Linux Terminal while the Vibrant was in Download Mode, and I didn't seem to get too much in the way of interest of the Vibrant except this line:

Would that possibly be the Vibrant? Does "Linux Foundation" refer to a Linux device? Then again, I just ran it another time without the Vibrant plugged in, and it yielded the same results.. So, most likely.. dead usb port?? Or perhaps is this just a weird phenomena? Thanks again, for all the suggestions and comments; hopefully I'll be able to one day return the favours to others here on xda.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Sorry, looks like you have a faulty usb port on your phone :(

Sent from my Nero powered Vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shalom24:
Thanks for helping troubleshoot that, however unfortunate it was to hear... Perhaps one last question though, as I would like to make sure I 'cover my basis', so to speak, would anyone have suggestions as to what to do when I talk to Samsung? Or would anyone know what the procedure is like; I have dealt with a faulty iPone 3gs before and basically all I did was wait for the replacement in the mail, and ship the faulty one in the same packaging. I realize I will need to contact them, but would anyone know what information they might need from me? (as in would it be a problem that I might not have an original receipt? (I contacted the seller about that, and have yet to hear back))

Simply put, while I have had Samsung products in the past (and have been for the most part very satisfied with said products); I would, however, like to make sure I don't mess something up within the warranty process for the Vibrant (at least in consideration that I wasn't the first purchaser; then again, I would hope that they would cover the 'basic' quality issues of their products for at least the normal 90 days.. but what do I know..).

Whatever the case my be, I greatly appreciate the help I've received here; if for nothing else, perhaps it will be useful in someone else's mishaps in their Android journey. Thanks again, and I will be exceedingly grateful for any further suggestions on the matter.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
Contact Samsung what have you got to lose? The phone comes with 1 year manufacturer warranty, and it has been on the market since mid July 2010, so it is not even 6 month old.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shalom24:
Yea, I don't mean to be too non-committal, I just don't want to mess up a warranty; if that makes any sense. And hopefully the ~210 people who have viewed this thread thus far will find a conclusion of the situation somewhat helpful. I'll update this thread once some of the dust settles.. I'm most definitely a fan of xda! Thanks for all the help everyone!

EDIT: Contacted Samsung, and after listening to the 'did you check this list' for about five minutes, I received a free shipping label and they said it was covered by the 'repair warranty'. I'm optimistic that something good will come of it...

EDIT_2:

Well, what do you know, just got the package/phone a little under an hour ago. First of all, compliments to Samsung! Fantastic communication and customer service! I really thought that the Vibrant was unrecoverable and that I would most likely have to pay for a new one; but I was wrong! Opened the sealed package with the original Vibrant (I knew it was mine since I had already but a BestSkinsEver skin on it) and plugged it into the computer at, Wohla!, Odin recognized, Windows/drivers recognized, and I'm up and rolling!

Thank you once again everyone for the comments and helpful input! And know that Samsung rocks! (I won't be going back with apple products anytime soon..)
