The usb message your seeing means it is connected by usb. You should be able to continue. Not sure activesync recognises magldr.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] atoore:
Im sorry if im wrong but ofcourse your phone wont get regonized by active sync anymore because you took off windows mobile from your phone when you installed nand. Just be paitence when u connect your phone to your computer and it will deffently get regonized and you will be ready to flash new roms.

When you see this usb...usb you are connected.

Now right click daf.exe or android inastaller.exe or whatever the name and choose "run as administrator" and the install should start

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] buzz killington:
I saw a few posts about this problem. The fix is to reflash HSPL and load Magldr again.

Not able to make a usb connection to the phone when in Magldr

Error Description: USB init failed

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (723)

Go to the Activesync icon in the bottom right corner, right click on it and untick the option "Allow usb connections" and then connect the device again. Run daf.exe (or install.exe) as administrator by right clicking on it and selecting the option (if using Windows7 or Vista). Hopefully the usb drivers will then install and the Android Rom will flash.

Another option could be to uninstall and reinstall Activesync or to try different usb ports on your pc. If that doesnt work and you have Windows XP then you need to try on a machine with Vista or Windows 7.

If none of this works then try taking out your micro SD Card and repeating the process or flash a Custom Rom before you flash Magldr rather than a Stock Rom.

Lastly you could try starting the NAND installer with the phone unplugged and then plugged the phone in. The installer should immediately detect your device and proceed to flash.

Is it possible to SIM unlock a Nexus S that's locked to T-Mobile without asking T-Mobile for/buying an unlock code? Would the SGS unlock method work considering the Nexus S is part of the Galaxy S family?

Samsung-Google Nexus Black (AT&T)

Hi

Would this apply to the Samsung-Google Nexus phone on deal at Best Buy. The website (sorry I cannot post external links) lists this phone as Samsung - Google Nexus S Mobile Phone - Black (AT&T) and comes with a 2-yr contract

I will be in the US for a temp period; my plan is to buy a contract phone and pay the termination fee when I am done with my stay.

I need to ensure that the unit I buy can be used in India when I return.

thanks for your help!

Cheers

So I've decoded a launcherpro apk and gotten all the files inside.

I've edited them changing only some images(not .9.pngs) and some text strings for a translation.

I don't really know how to re-encode the file and sign it.

I tried using APKtools to repack but ASTRO won't let me install it saying it can't open it as an apk file.

Any help is appreciated :)
[Android] mindnumbinglyfun:
i cant get apktools to do anything other than decompile...

if you got it to compile your apk but dont know how to sign it, use this: http://androidforums.com/developer-101/8665-how-signing-roms.html

its what i use to sign zips and apks and it works very well and is easy. the "auto sign" or qwhatever opetion doesnt ever work for me, but option 4, manual, works fine
[Android] wes342:
if you havent installed the framework-res.apk that may be why you cant compile

what you need to do is pull out the framework-res.apk and put it in you root directory then in terminal use this.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jumaaneface:
THIS SHOULD BE IN THE Q&A SECTION!!!!!!!!!!!

u basically flashed a stock vibrant kernel in recovery correct? either the kernel u flashed was a 2.1 kernel or just a stock vibrant froyo kernel. if u still have access to recovery, reflash the voodoo kernel u have on ur sd card and it will boot up. if not u gonna have to use odin. check the rom bible at the top of this thread if u have to do that.

We can easily add custom words in the T9 User Dictionary but there is no way to edit/delete them. Since English is not my main language, I have added lots of words already but some of them are wrong and I want to remove/edit them.

The three files can be found via sTune. Browser | User | T9udb | (xt9asdb.dat, xt9cdb.dat and xt9udb.dat)

If it is too much trouble to code a utility, maybe share some information on how the dictionary is structured so we can hex edit the mistakes out.

Thanks!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] himadri_sm:
yeah...this would be really helpful....
[Bada Software and Hacking General] matrix866:
Yes it would be very usefull also for backup before an hard reset!
[Bada Software and Hacking General] nantax:
Turns out that you don't need the T9 dictionary editor.

You just leave the wrong words in the dictionary and it will eventually get overwritten when you add more word.

If the wrong word is constantly appearing in the suggestion bar and is taking over a particular word like in my case the word "kay" ("because" in our dialect) and the phone always suggest "Kay" (name of person). All you have to do is enter "kay" several times and select the lower case "kay" until such time that it will be the default suggestion.

I wish they had this documented. I would have saved me needless frustration. :D

[Streak 5 General] Vision2099:
Got a few questions here. I am on rooted android 2.2. Has anyone used the zeemote or msi bgp100 gamepad with the dell streak? There are zeemote drivers on the android market and also something called gamepro drivers for android for both of those controllers but I wanted to c if anyone had them up and running on dell streak b4 I order one off the inet. Also if u have tried the zeemote or used one before will the streak fit in the middle of it? It has a clamp thing.

Next question. Ive got the wiimote connected to my streak and it is awesome to say the least but I was borrowing my roommates. I went out and got a nyko wand but it is not connecting. Has anyone tried one of these and got it working? Can u plug the classic controller into the wiimote and use that also? Can u use the wireless classic controller and does this also have to b nintendo brand? Asking cause the wiimote doesnt have enough buttons to play a lot of snes games. Asking about wireless cause it seems like a hassle to have a controller connected to a controller to play on dell streak that is also why im looking into the zeemote and msi gamepad.
[Streak 5 General] Vision2099:

[Streak 5 General] DJ-VAN:
I'm still waiting on my Streak. I guess I shouldn't have ordered the red one but anyway when I get it I plan on getting this:

Datel wireless wiimote.

At first I was trying to get the bgp100 msi pad but it is impossible to get as it was produced in 2005 and is apparently out of production.

But the Datel wiimote is better anyway. 20 bucks on ebay last I checked

Glad I'm not the only person thinking about using the Streak for games.

I use the wiimote with the classic attached (all original nintendo), works magic, kick ass on Street Fighter 2 :P

[Captivate General] snapplefish:
You can use the Odin 1-click utility found somewhere on these forums (stickied either at the top of the general forums or development forums) to revert your Captivate to stock, and then flash the most recent Cognition from there.

EDIT: Here's the Odin 1-click utility: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

Note that using Odin will revert you COMPLETELY TO STOCK, including the wipe of all of your files on the phone, contacts (unless saved to sim), etc, etc. There are probably other ways to do it, but Odin is fool-proof and surefire.

Hit reinstall packages and it should take you into the clockworkmod recovery. Have you even downloaded a rom? Is it on your SD? Do you know how to flash a rom even? Just trying to help :)

just trying to get all the info so those can better assist you
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
open ROM Manager and select "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".....you need clockwork to be flashing

once you do this, everytime you boot into recovery it will take you to the stock recovery that you are seeing. click "renistall packages" and that will take you to Clockwork Recovery (you have to do this everytime).

And to flash through clockwork select "choose .zip to install", and this is where you can select any .zip that is on the root of your sdcard to flash

------------------

not being rude, but you really should be reading tutorials before attempting to flash. It sounds like you are just attempting things and hoping they work. This usually leads to threads titled "Am I bricked? Please help!"......check out the "Vibrant Bible" stickie under the Vibrant Development forum, theres a lot of cool/valuable information to be learned....not to mention a lot of unnecessary headaches to be avoided

Hi guys,

I come from a country where there's SGS, but no captivate...

However, i imported a set of the Captivate from USA.

At the moment, i want to get extra batteries for my captivate...

I'm just not sure if i could directly use a galaxy S battery inside...

Is this possible? coz if it is, i could potentially be saving 30USD shipping to my country.
[Captivate Accessories] ProBoner:
Regular batteries should be identical, but extended batteries are not.
[Captivate Accessories] Miami_Son:
Actually, there is at least 1 extended battery (1800mah) available that is the same form factor as the OEM battery and fits the Captivate. I have one that I bought off eBay.
[Captivate Accessories] nissy86:
dude, i would recommend you to go to ebay and get a cheap battery. Works as good as the original ones.

and it just cost around USD$4

captivate and i9000 models are using the same battery.
[Captivate Accessories] ag4vr:
Yes, i9000 batteries work great in the captivate as long as they fit within the case. Some extended batteries for the i9000 have replacement backs designed for that phone. They don’t look like they would work with the captivate because it has a different shape from the i9000.

[Nexus S Accessories] Blue Acid:
I've owned both Ghost Armor and Zagg on many different devices. I've found that Zagg has a rubbery feel and yellows out in about 6 months or so. No such problems on my Nexus One that has been covered in Ghost Armor since I got it a month after it was released.

My MacBook Pro, Nexus One, and Nexus S are all Ghost Armored. Next up is my Nook Color.

Various pics of my Nexus S in Ghost Armor. Some of the pics are a little dusty. This is about 24 hours after it was done. No bubbles or "orange peeling." I'm pleased.

edit: These were taken with my Nexus One :-)
[Nexus S Accessories] zorak950:
Interesting. I'll be curious to see how my Invisible Shield looks at that time.
[Nexus S Accessories] Blue Acid:
It's definately better than nothing. I haven't tried the BSE pretoectors yet either but I hear people like them. I still think the Ghost Armor is smoother, but still has the non slip surface I want.

The one for my MacBook is full body, including the trackpad. If it was covered with Zagg I would have been driven bonkers weeks ago because of the slight rubbery feel.
[Nexus S Accessories] justsignbythex:
Blue Acid,

Looking at your pics, it looks like Ghost Armor doesn't have the same texture as the InvisibleShields ("orange-peel" texture). Is this true?

I'm debating between these and Clarivue, which I believe has a slick texture vs. rubbery/friction.

[Nexus S Accessories] Blue Acid:
It is much smoother than Zagg. Haven't tried any other protectors other than Zagg and Ghost Armor.

GA is almost as smooth as the glass itself. At certain angles you can see the slight ripples of the protector but you can't feel it.

My roommates both have Vibrants with GA and they handle Swype just fine.
[Nexus S Accessories] Jayrod1980:
Granted, it'd fairly cold out and in my house as well but how long did it take for your skin to fully dry? I'm still getting a little screen door and some bubbles on the case battery door. Love the fit but my touch screen is a little unresponsive. Seems my back button especially has this issue. I didn't use the phone for about 8 hours after I installed this. It seems great quality and it feels so much better than the zagg. I'm hoping my back button didn't just start acting up. On my 5th nexus here.
[Nexus S Accessories] Blue Acid:
Mine was bubble free and done the same day. Gave it 24 hours to firm up fully. The Ghost Armor people have a machine they use to heat the whole skin up so the bubbles are gone immediately.

Mind posting pictures? I've been reading about issues with smudges and such and I decided I'd do some research into screen protectors. I had one on my Epic but it was the Zagg one and it felt crappy.

If you want the skin to cover the phone as much as possible then BSE is a no-brainer. I'm quite certain that Skinomi will not cover the back of the phone properly i.e. no side cover.
[Nexus S Accessories] DJTaurus:
I havent used those full body skins in the past....do they also improve the grip whic is very slippery?
[Nexus S Accessories] kenvan19:
My Ghost armor skin definitely does not improve grip.
[Nexus S Accessories] Nexus MC:
I wish they would sell the full body kits separately.

have the BSE back skin and then you can get a screen protection somewhere else. ie: Ghost Armor.
