Get the 3 sets of files you need, copy to a USB key, then borrow someone's Windows 7 PC, or go to library, Kinko's, etc and perform the work there. With the right files etc, the flashing process only takes about 10 mins max.

oh and make sure you have activsync installed. need that to ensure the drivers/connection is made

your only solution is to buy an iphone 4 ;)

lol i kid i kid.... I think you can use virtual box or something like that to use windows programs or just go to a friend house with a pc
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] seeksol:
my gosh... i didn't realise that none of this is possible on a mac.... that makes me sad...

i'm afraid my mac is rather old... but still working perfectly...

it's an imac 1.25 ghz PowerPC G4

can i not just install the .exe file directly on my phone and open it up on the phone itself???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tarekkkkk:
and i got something called " a solution " which is

1- Install bootcamp if you dont know how-to forget the whole thing

2- Buy a PC YOU WONT REGRET IT :D

3- Dah ... this is xda = Wm (windows) + Android (linux) no iphone so no mac sell your mac
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] seadersn:
no way :D respectively (regarding imac) :(

hmmmmm i work in the grpahic design industry! we all use macs....

i'll have to go to a cyber cafe somewhere.....

so first i got the do the HardSPL thing and the Radio thing before i can do the MAGLDR thing and NAND thing....

wow..... i need more than 10 mins to do all that....

:D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sentinel196:
You NEED to use Bootcamp. I use my Macbook pro for all of this flashing I do. All through bootcamp.

If you try and install HSPL with VMWARE you will most likely brick your phone. USB connection will be terminated when the phone changes state using VMWARE.

This one. Probably 90% of the design industry use Macs.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dtechnology:
A VM with direct USB access could work, but I don't know if there is even one available on Mac and if the Mac CPU's support it (you need a pretty new CPU with Intel VT-d or AMD-Vi) and a supporting hypervisor like KVM or Xen (on Linux) or VMWare ESXi4 or higher. Maybe VMware Fusion for Mac supports it too, they do a pretty good job of Video card passtrough but I don't know about USB.

But my point is: it might be possible, but why even bother? Just get access to a Windows PC or install boot camp (if you have an Intel Mac).

You can't complain now: when you bought you're HD2 you know that WinMo isn't really designed to work with Mac (you use iSync right? It isn't even developed by MS) and it never has been common to flash from Mac (I don't even know if it is possible)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] raffozz:
I've mac too... but I used my girlfriend's pc to flash it :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] meptik:
OP's got a PowerPC-based Mac. Non-Intel won't run Bootcamp. As a short-term solution, borrowing a Windows machine somewhere would be the best bet. Long term, OP should consider replacing his iMac for a newer model. I'm sure that G4 was a pretty nifty machine for its time, but that was over 6 years ago. Any current Mac will run Windows just fine, for when you really, really have no other choice. ;)

BTW... Not sure whether this counts as on-topic, but is anyone here familiar with HTC-flasher? Looks like it might be an interesting alternative to Windows-based flashing tools.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dtechnology:
Read about it something a few years ago, think I had a diamond then and someone had a problem trying to use it with a diamond.

Keep in mind that it has been last updated 2,5 years ago and thus is likely not to work with the Leo (as it's only a year old). The basis of the flashing protocol might be the same, but I wouldn't risk it.

Hi all, I saw one post asking about this earlier (but it only mentioned that it would be difficult a few months ago), and was wondering if anyone had integrated TaintDroid into a ROM.

FYI - TaintDroid is effectively a privacy auditor for apps:

http://www.appanalysis.org/

My suspicion is no, and I think I'll probably go with one of the ad-blocking ROMs when I get there (my current plan is to wait until I have an OTA froyo going, before I plunge into loading ROMS and/or buying various paid apps for customization, etc., but this seemed pretty useful.

Hello everyone,

I bought myself a HD2 a year ago, and have recently (September or so) been running Android on my phone. I installed the DFT Stock NAND build on dec 31st, and am now running MDJ's Revolution Froyo (the newest one of his series).

But now I wonder, I see alot of people with the same ROM and Radio as I have, but they get like 1,700 in Quadrant, whereas i get only 1,000. Now I would like to know how this is possible, I got the shipped 4GB SD card from HTC and Radio 2.15.50.14.

Thanks in advance
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Just so you know, quadrant scores are no better than trophy wives. They're only there to show off how good your phone is, even if it isn't really that good.

Now onto the topic. Did you run the test multiple times, like running it one after another? As I've noticed, the more times you rerun the test consecutively, the score increases until it reaches its peak. So what those users are posting is the peak of what that rom can give you in quadrant.

Well a little advice, if the rom works for you, eg fast enough, stable enough, has everything you need, etc. Stop worrying about what the other guy has, because at the end of the day, its still about you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] mattfmartin:
Ive used builds that had a low score and were in fact faster than some with a high score. Screw quadrant

I have a problem when make img file.

unyaffs img file create all folder and files from system.img. This stuff work without any issue. :)

Size of this folders and files is 317.4 MB.

When start to create new img file with mkfs.yaffs2, size of new img file is 2GB.:eek:

How to resolve this problem and create image file with properly filesize?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KillaHurtz:
You're doing something wrong. Make sure the image you are trying to unyaffs is in its own empty folder. After unyaffs remove the .img from that folder. Then create new image file by running the mkfs.yaffs2 as follows: mkfs.yaffs2 /home/killahurtz/Desktop/location of extracted system.img/ system.img

i got a gtab just recently and i couldn't transfer my hd movies. i read some where that its not possible to format the internal sd to ntfs so i tried with my external sd card and the device doesn't recognize the card..... is there any way to transfer large files?

Saddly notify you, it's no way "now". May it "will" by hacking the file system support with XDA's, we wish...
[Galaxy Tab General] Phone_Junkie:
The Galaxy Tab uses Fat32 file system I believe. That said, max single-file transfer size is 4 GB for Fat32 drives. If you try to transfer anything over 4 GB to a Fat32 drive you will receive an error and it will not complete. My ripped blu-rays look amazing on the Tab! Let me know if you want instructions.

You can stream using Tversity on your computer and vplayer on your tab also you can mount the drive as a smb mount there's some info on that in developement and it works rather good. Also upnplayer is good to see local media servers

[Galaxy Tab General] Hanson68:
Is the Android file limit 2GB or 4GB? I've had zero luck transferring a file over 2GB to my SGT using ES File Explorer or Websharing. Can >2GB files be transferred via cable? And if so, are they playable or even recognized by the OS?

My workaround for this limitation is to use mkvmerge to split the file into parts. As it is, 90% of what I watch are TV shows, and none of them top the 2GB limit.

Kind of interesting that most manufacturers tout 1080p video performance as a benchmark but ignore the limitation in file size at the same time. I guess they're concentrating on lower bitrate 1080p streaming than h.264 encoded mkv files.
[Galaxy Tab General] lamtutu:
Hi.

Can you show how to transfer file more than 4gb to the tab?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] SeanBlader:
Really you shouldn't be needing video's that large, with the screen resolution of 1024x600, what would you do with a video that's 1920x1080? The screen isn't even high enough native resolution to support 720p. I'd recommend sizing your video to keep the native aspect ratio and fit it into the 1024 width which often still leaves letterboxing on your video but then at least you see the entire movie.

My largest file, Harry Potter 6 is 2.93gig which saves fine on a Fat32 SD card, and plays fine in the built in video player, and looks outstanding scaled to fit 1024 pixel width.
[Galaxy Tab General] Hanson68:
Interesting. While the actual file limit of FAT32 is 4GB, the Android limit is 2GB. So you can copy a 3GB file to the SD card in storage mode from a PC, but you can't copy more than 2GB if you are using a copy program from within Android. Or at least, that's what I'm seeing.

I'm puzzled as to why Android can play a 3GB file but not transfer it. Unless, of course, I'm doing something wrong.
[Galaxy Tab General] Phone_Junkie:

Okay, I have transfer Despicable Me to my Tab, which is one of the videos you see on the Sprint ads, and it won't play. When I use the stock video player I get an error "Sorry, License Acquisition Failed". When I use VPlayer it is all pixelated. These are not BR just standard def files and they are authorized digital copy transfers. I've tried Handbrake but the program crashes before it gets to 2%. I've read several topics on this subject and it seems just about everyone else is not having trouble. Any other ideas ?
[Galaxy Tab General] Blinkergffg:
I had the same problem when trying to put a digital copy of "The Expendables" on my Tab. The DVD company couldn't help either. I finally gave up.
[Galaxy Tab General] webvan:
Yes I think streaming is the way to go, on my iPhone I use "Air Video" that converts on the fly the vids on my PC. Need to look into Tversity, does it do the same thing?
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
If you're not in a hurry then you'd be better off feeding the movies through Handbrake or somesuch and dropping them to a less ridiculous size. On a screen the size of the tabs even a "low resolution" 480p movie will look fine if encoded at a reasonable bitrate with h264, a ~100 minute movie at a filesize of around 500MB should be plenty. That way you can fit a whole bunch of movies on there rather than just a couple. The lower the bitrate & resolution, the less processing power required to play it as well, so the longer your battery will last.

The tab uses RFS (Robust File System)for its filesystem. which is a version of FAT which as a result has a 4GB filesize limit.

I recently got my SGS I9000 international version with Froyo 2.2 pre-installed. when I plugged in ear-phones which came with it, the music quality was Okay but it was lacking bass so I tried changing settings, equalizer, effects, 5.1 Ch everything but nothing enhanced Bass.

I use Power AMP on my other android phone(LG P500) and when I installed same on SGS and increased bass, sound distortion was very high and output was bad and it couldn't produce bass however with same settings sound is great on my LG P500.

I have tried many headsets ans even external amplifier but no good.

Please Help! How can I fix this!

Thanks Rixsta

I am wondering if its a hardware issue or software as I have googled a lot about it and didn't fine anyone else complaining for same issue so is it only with my device?

An it would be difficult for me to go for flashing or porting ROMs etc. as I don't want to loose warranty.

Can you or someone from XDA tell me that what is the exact issue with sound? or can someone please install Power AMP and check the sound increasing Bass?

Thanks in advanced!

Voodoo Sound.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] AllGamer:
just for reference

I did not make any MOD to my phone, and the stock BASS / SUB / BASE sound is very good, even when i stream over BLUETOOTH to my car

or in my BLUETOOTH stereo headphones

it sounds even richer when using the 3.5 mm plug
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] manit_goel:
Finally I flashed kernel to Voodoo_stable_5.1 (voided warranty).

Installed Voodoo sound from market it has option "bass on headphones" under FM Radio

Under WM8994 it has Headphone amplifier which increased the sound volume only "not bsss"

So still the issue remains same......I m not getting punchy bass as I have in other comparatively mid level phones.....I bought it because GSM Arena mentioned that it has perfect sound quality.

Please tell me is it the issue with my SGS only or every SGS has same kind of sound.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] cyberz:
Yes manit, I can confirm which the fm radio on not vodoo kernel have "no bass". My friend have samsung wave 8500(bada o.s.)and the bass are ok on his fm radio. Don't understand why, but is so.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] manit_goel:
Actually I m not concern about FM radio sound......my problem is when I listen music in music player or "Power AMP " the music lacks Bass

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] MSRemmert:
The quality of the bundled headphones could be worse...

With regards to sound quality flash a kernel that supports Voodoo Sound 4 and install the Voodoo app from the market place. From there if you plan on messing with the EQ in programs such as PowerAMP or Mixzing then turn the gain down (a long way down...) before you start mucking around with the bass. After that your music should be distortion free and very rumbley should you choose to make it so.
