Flashed through clockwork
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
That's laughable at best.

Sent from my Captivate.
[Captivate General] HHF2:
Thanks to you all, I am downloading a rom now! Hopefully I will not be back in a few with a brick lol.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
I think you will find quite a few people who agree with me here. Every custom rom I have tried has bugs that stock doesn't have. And I hate that the answer to that is to flash the new version of the rom every week. Stuff like media volume, battery life and these so called GPS "fixes"

Stock + root + lagfix - bloatware = best combination for reliability and full functionality IMO

I will continue to try custom roms, maybe this will change in the future
[Captivate General] HHF2:
What do you do to fix the lag?
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
What Rom did you download? It depends on if it has a Voodoo lag fix, which you would have heard the voice or if it is a lag fix you need to enable. Go into Recovery and see if there are any additional menus like CWM and Lagfix or something like that.
[Captivate General] tjsooley:
on my 1007 batch captivate i find non oc'ed i9000 roms work the best
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I do agree with you. Until we get a 2.2 rom based off a CAPTIVATE NON-BETA 2.2 Build, I am sticking with 2.1. Maybe a ROM based off Armani would work OK, but so far all the ROMs based off i9000 or Captivate 2.2 betas leave me wanting.

I use one for a while and find some little irritations that i just can't stand -so i go back to 2.1.

I know the Devs are trying, but we need 2.2 source for captivate to really have some rock solid roms. Samsung still says it is on its way, so I will still patiently wait - i have other toys to play with too.
[Captivate General] HHF2:
Thanks to all. After bricking it twice, once requiring one click odin I finally got it. Funny thing is the rom didn't get me, it was the theme posted right under, it was a sic apple! Anyway thanks to the great people who take the time to write the tutorials and take their time to help a complete stranger. I can only continue to learn so that I can repay the favor by helping others. Thanks again!!
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
Is anyone one else that is on froyo having an issue with these services? They are terminating the call immediately after it tries to connect. i tried a new pbxes account and played with settings and im stumped.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dinguznomad:
It seems endless, what others are doing with TASKER

all I *NEED* is the "ORIENTATION as LAUNCHER" feature, does anyone know of a WM alternative?

OR

Is anyone aware of a "PORT" in the works of the mighty toolbox that is TASKER?

LMT and GTrigger are how I launch apps in WM, so if anyone knows alternatives to these I could just switch to Android.

HD2, btw.
[Android Apps and Games] Plasticman0105:
So I am having a horrible time with this one on this device I guess. I have DL'ed multiple Bios for the app and currently am sticking with 7502 and 1001 which seem to work for the most part. All my games are slower then the actual trial version or PSX4DROID Lite. I have tested FF7, FF8, FF9, Legend of Dragoon, Einhander, Chrono Cross, and my fav Xenogears and every one runs smoother and way faster with no slowdown on the Lite version but when using the paid version is slow slow slow. I have upped the cpu cycle, and messed with the fps and moved these both around from low to high and no difference in the games. The sound in the Lite version on all these games is bad but the gameplay is so much smoother and overall better, the sound in the paid version is spot on but the games lag. I am using the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G which should play these np since I hear from so many others it works great but not sure if its due to my phone? or is it something I'm doing wrong. I have searched the wide world of GOOGLE and found nothing to help. I have searched these forums as well and just haven't found any help with this. I really really really wana jam on some Xenogears or finally beat FF9 as I made it all the way to the end and never got to beat it back in the day.

This is my first Post and I would appreciate any and all advice you pros out there have for a noob such as me :)
[Android Apps and Games] Plasticman0105:
Any assistance at all would be great :)
[Android Apps and Games] Plasticman0105:
Nobody uses PSX4DROID V2 on an Epic 4g? Or does not have the same issues with slowdown like I do? I am not rooted and starting to wonder if thats the issue? Please Help :)
[Android Apps and Games] diehard2222:
no one here really cares about that emuklator... v2 of psx4droid is slower than the old build. i bought both so i compare them each time theres an update for v2 and so far the old build is better in most ways especially when it comes to fps. the old build is just a lot more smoother especially for games such as ff9 and castlevania son.
[Android Apps and Games] shad0wboss:
I've tried running gta 2 on psx4droid but the cars and the character itself were missing and so it gave more fps (around 20) but now with v2 i can see everything (graphics are improved) but now the FPS fell down to approximately 15-12 but it is playable so i don't mind the update :)

Using a task killer won't harm so that you can close down extra things to free up memory then try running the game, hopefully it won't lag.
[Android Apps and Games] alexisprz:
I'm on an evo 4g and I can say that the latest psx v2 make everything crawl. What worked for me was the first version of psx4droid v2 that was released, try searching the web and everything should run smooth, it does for me on the snapdragon so should fly with the hummingbird.

I also noticed that if u use app2sd it will affect the emulator since u are trying to run the game off your sd card like on my evo. So give it a try and all should be good.

Also I would stick with 1001 bios since that is what the focus of the port is.
[Android Apps and Games] Joeway124:
same issue with me mate, running stock and FF tactics will fluctuate in speeds, mostly on the slower side
[Android Apps and Games] DjGeraldo:
I have the same problem on my x, I've given up with it.
[Android Apps and Games] ErOR22:
I too get FPS problems with this crappy emulator on my DHD. I get about 35FPS in GT2 but it's still too laggy, this is on v2. v1.1 of PSX4DROID runs much much better.

Won't have to wait much longer to play PS1 games on Android :D

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skychaos:
my x10 cant find satellite..how can i download A-GPS data??? :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
have you got mobile data switched off?? it'll only work with it on... if you have mobile data on, then suggest you try repairing the firmware through SEUS or PCC.. if that still doesn't work then you probably have a faulty GPS chip..
[Nook Color General] captkras:
Ok, self admitted geek here, but the Nook (and many tablets) are really feeling like a Star Trek PADD. So with that aim, I am looking for a wallpaper in the LCARS style for the Nook Color. Does anyone know is someone has put one together? And if so, where might I be able to get it?

I know nook-look.com has some for the regular nook, but I wanted something for my Nook Color.

Thanks!
[Nook Color General] FordTaurus:
Haven't run across anything specific wallpaper wise, but if you haven't tried the 'Tricorder' app yet then run do not walk to the Market and try it out.

Shame the NC doesn't have more sensors. It's impressive on the DroidX even with the small screen.
[Nook Color General] captkras:
Yes, I have the app for my Droid. Love it. I cobbled something together, but not quite lined up correct....

will take a little more tweaking, before I get it "right".
[Nook Color General] FordTaurus:
Post it when you get it looking good, would love to see. I have been playing with the wallpaper myself and have had some luck switching to PNG format and then using the landscape trick to get the wallpaper to display correctly.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Ace42:
Edit:nvm, ill try it when i get my replacement slide.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I don't think the slide needs S-OFF to write to data but I do think it needs root beforehand, or at least shell root.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] JDV28:
just to make it easier to anyone flashing this, i would put links to DL's of those files. first thing i noticed when i read. put me off to this method.

btw, this is me trying to help, not ripping on you :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
I don't think so? If /data couldn't be written to without root or s-off, how would people install apps who never rooted their phones? Where is the system data stored and modified? /data is fully modifiable I'm pretty sure.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I'm willing to admit I could be wrong on that but I thought apps were installed in /data because it was the system calling the package installer not the user.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
In terms of read/write permissions, the system has the same permissions as the user. The system can't write to /system if the user can't, and vice versa. /data and /cache have no nand protection
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DeezyFn'Baby:
In the post I did add if I had the time I would post links if not ill do it later to whomever above stated their statement. If you don't want to "Try" it don't and don't comment. It was an accident I found it and I have since replicated my process on 3 slides and it works. The Reason it does is because gaining temporary root inside android even without gaining full being blocked by nand or S-Off can be can be used to modify the permissions of system files while the memory is running tho not the actual NAND itself which I believe S-OFF does... So when I said 6th mount the drive as R/W in root explorer there is an option to remount the drive R/W to allow you to long press the items in that folder and change their permissions then I said unmount to save the permission fix that's what the Temp Root Gained from AndRoot Does.... Now I'm gonna try and update my Original post with links for people who want an esier time doing this like I would have liked and for the. Sarcastic ones so then you can just press the Thumbs Up button ok?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Your instructions don't have anything to do with /system I don't know what you are babbling about. I'm not disproving your root method, I was just trying to explain that /data is not nand protected. /system IS nand protected, and without s-off or a r/w overlay you wouldn't even be able to modify the permissions of files in /system, but since your root method has to do with /data it works.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DeezyFn'Baby:
I'm not babbling I was referring to the first reply but ur probably right about the sys files as I didn't mess with them. But I did obtain root anway all of the files can easily be found by doing a search on the XDA forums and ill add the links when I get to a pc doing this from the android browser is painful...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
Yeah, that's why you don't need s off for this to work, which others were saying

This would make it easier for new folks if you had links next to the items needed for this... you can't just tell others they need this and that with at least a link on where to find it or download it... like having me find a treasure chest without clues or a map :D just saying haha. good guide though and yes I did read you'll be adding links soon =p

Now people can stop *****ing about links. Everything else can be found on the android market.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MusicMan374:
The only thing about 4shared is that it doesn't work right on the stock HTC web browser, since javascript is kinda glitchy on that one. Works fine on froyo/cm6.1.1 with the aosp browser, but for a TRUE pcless method you need direct or mediafire links I think.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
I post links because everyone *****es and yet someone still *****es. Those aren't my uploads, I simply posted them so people would stop *****ing. I personally haven't had issues with 4shared even with the stock browser back before I rooted my phone. If you want to reupload them to another hosting site be my guest but like I said, they aren't my uploads.

Stop whining

Here are some direct links for those who complain about the 4Share site.

Oh, and Ill put a gapps link up in thar too. It has the new market, and it works as long as you don't install anything until it finishes restoring. At least it did for me.

Clockwork

I found all the right files for Clockwork. Pretty much just took em from whenever I did nbetcher's method sometime back.

Your gonna need to extract this .rar to the root of your SD card. You can use Astro for that.

I followed the instructions again and again and it still wont ask me to flash. What could be the problems? Can someone please help?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
You must've missed the mtd0 step, you get that error because it's an older version. Clear all files, redownload, reboot, and start over.

Now Select APPLY Update.zip to flash CLOCKWORK RECOVERY" - op

ok after i flash ESPRIMG.zip n then go to recovery...when i go to recovery i get a triangle/exclamation point over a phone image. does not ask to flash update file.

**Edit- nvr mind about this post and the next. i pressed Vol. Up + Pwr while at black screen w/ pick then flashed actual Update.zip file inside of the extracted clockwork file! thanks
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] Gargon87:
Ok, just checking. i extracted the file and changed the folder name from "clockwork" to "Update.zip". Is this correct or do i use the actual update.zip within that folder?

I tried this new method for my wifes slide, and all was well until it checked for esprimg.zip. Got an error message and now after reboot it says "sd card removed insert a new one" and I can't mount it on the pc? Any help would be appreciated.I can't try again without sd card access...
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] torvick12:
It would be nice if some 1 can make a video rooting the slide. I bene looking for 1 all over net n jst never found 1. And now im reading this forum, n still sounds pretty confusing 2 me. Yes, im a noob when it comes to rooting since im trying 2 learn. But i do know my basics around on the phone and stuff like that. Just some directions are pretty confsuing so yeahh. But thanks 4 this method, hope some1 soon makes a vid would be helpfull not only me but other people that are in my position.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Try going into recovery and accessing something on the sdcard. It should give you an error, then pop it out and back in with the phone on. Should fix your problem, fixed mine.

@Torvick just read slowly and be careful. You don't have to understand every step so long as you can do them. What exactly is confusing you? Maybe I can clarify.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] squirrelfarts:
i followed all the instructions up to the reboot but when i rebooted it didnt prompt me for the ESPRIMG.zip file just gave me the fastboot, recovery, one other option i dont remember and slim something. i selected recovery assuming the prompt may have already been executed and got a black screen with a phone and a red triangle with exclimation point in it. then i hit vol up and power and gave me reboot system, apply sdcard: update.zip , factory reset, wipe cache partitions. i selected the update.zip option and it was unable to find the file. can you please help?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Reboot into HBOOT, if it doesn't check go into fastboot then back to HBOOT, it should check then.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] torvick12:
Well i never really rooted a hone b4 so really i wouldnt know where 2 start or what u know. Like i would prefer seeing a vid 2 see how they did it n stuff, r jst some 2 taking me step by step u know.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] WaylonMcFlailin:
Ya, that seems like an important enough detail to include in the instructions. Had me scratchin my head for a bit.

BTW, Im pretty comfy at the command line so I figured Id just copy the flash_image, etc. from there instead of messing with root explorer, but alas, no cp command in the stock shell! Installed busybox from the market, problem solved. I dont know enough about android to know if that was normal though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah that's normal, most custom ROMs have busybox installed by default though.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] crunkcory:
Problem at this step

right when I get to this step "it'll reboot into the HBoot Screen and ask if you want to Check ESPRIMG.zip after Verifying it will ask you to flash Select Yes (VOL-UP) And Wait DO NOT POWER DOWN OR TAKE OUT BATTERY!!!"

I hold vol down and power and it loads the correct screen but it checks for all the files, including ESPRIMG.zip, and even though its on the root of my SD card it says not found. What am I doing wrong? Any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks

Crunkcory
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Make sure it's not something like ESPRIMG.zip.zip and also make sure that it's not a .zip inside a zip.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MarioBrotha:
I have no idea what I've done wrong, but I've gotten as far as getting to the recovery menu, but when I choose to apply update.zip it just reboots into recovery.

What did I do wrong?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Does it reboot to stock recovery or clockwork? I'm guessing recovery or you wouldn't have this issue :P. Does it give an error like signature verification failed or does it just reboot with no warnings or errors?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] DeezyFn'Baby:
To you and everyone else having this problem. Start over from the UPDATED step one of my OP. Or if you have manually moved or pushed the files already flash_img and mtd0 just redownload ESPRIMG.zip its file name is CASE SENSATIVE and the update.zip also CASE SENSATIVE these 2 files MUST co-exist in your sd card root! Follow reflash steps and you are supposed to get the error saying file not found then the phone checks for backup which is ESPRIMG.zip just make sure you DONT re-flash ESPRIMG.zip after the first flash just press no you do not want to flash and no reboot select recovery from hboot/bootloader whatever screen you get it varies phone to phone. Sorry im not moderating my post. I got a Vibrant Now so I been working with it. lol
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] MarioBrotha:
So is it "update.zip" or "Update.zip"?
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It should be update.zip if I recall correctly.
