[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KoolKidsKlub:
Ah alright, thank you! Sorry for all the questions, but I just wanted to be sure; I search everything I want to know before I ask questions. I'm coming from a G1 which is pretty old, you have no idea how excited I am to have a current Android phone that will actually run stuff smoothly, I just don't want to brick it when I first get it. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] endolith:
I am in the same boat. The new phone is sooo much faster!

Can we uninstall HTC Sync afterwards? Will the drivers stay around?

Cyanogenmod has their own instructions for rooting. Which is safer or more recent?

Use the XDA Wiki, I've seen issues with people using the Cyanogen Wiki.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 144saint:
Well I'm a graphics designer. I took the phone.apk from my rom. Did some photoshop and voila. Custom dialer and all. But it won't install. I really need some help resolving this issue.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_grey:
you probably need to build it into the ROM, or boot into recovery and adb push the file into the proper place for it to work
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 144saint:
I tried repacking it into the rom and reflashing the rom. Once done the rom didn't work properly. I didn't have google sync for my contacts or market. How can I push the file properly to replace the original?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_grey:
first backup original

adb pull /system/app/phone.apk phone.apk.bak

then push i would delete it

adb shell rm -f /system/app/phone.apk

then push the edited one

adb push /dir/to/apk/phone.apk /system/app/phone.apk
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 144saint:
Thank you. I will try this later tonight. Ill post the outcome.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broman400:
Wanna show us a pic of how it looks. I really wanna see :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 144saint:
Its nothing special. I changed some colors around. Added some starwars. Stuff on the buttons. I want to see the look first then a complete makeover. Ill post it soon if it works.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 144saint:
couldnt get it to work.... some more instructions would help. as to how set up the adb to transfer. im not sure if im doing it right.

How can I get past this?

Help please...:confused:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g_grey:
can you post the apk? attach it to the first post and we can try it out, might be that your sdk is not set up correctly or any hundred other variables
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
Since you're editing an APK, I'm pretty sure the APK needs to be signed. Check out APK Manager here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695701. There is also a new app that allows you to sign APKs on your phone: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857450. Never tried it though.

Also, I've read elsewhere that you'll need to edit the images is the contacts.apk as well (the dialer in phone.apk is only displayed while actually on a call).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 144saint:
I will edit some images on the contacts.apk might take a few days. depending on how much time I get. this is first go at this so dont expect too much. Just something different to see.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tucka20:
Hi guys, I have a cheapo bt keyboard from ebay. I havw (and still am) using this with my Desire, and my partner with her Hero, so the keyboard is working fine, but I cant seem to get it working with my new HD2 running Android. I have tried on Jaws MiUI and MDJ Froyo Rev, with no luck.

Has anyone got any news about this particular setup? Bluetooth works fine, sending files etc, and the keyboard pairs, but doesnt connwct with either blueinput of bluekeyboardjp.

Thanks

[Vibrant Android Development] Chainfire:
Just a heads up, as I'm sure else I'll get more request to up these firmwares.

The just found JL8 and JL9 firmwares for T959 are in fact just the JL5 firmware. So don't worry about them :)
[Vibrant Android Development] jumaaneface:
aww man. and i was uber excited again. u crushed my hopes and dreams:(
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
but but but... I'm going to cry...

what evil person re-released JL5 renamed as JL8-9
[Vibrant Android Development] iynfynity:
huhuhu!! :(
[Vibrant Android Development] cjggilbert:
That's it!!!! I'm taking my ball and going home
[Vibrant Android Development] cnote74:
I was hoping for a new leak thank god I have nerov4.1 to keep me satisfied
[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
Has anyone done a honest to goodness diff to see if anything has changed, a lot can change in 100 kb...
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
if you wanna keep updated, then do it.

if not, its not much of a difference, the most i noticed is the GB launcher looks different, the bootup animation is different.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
Wrong thread?

Jl8 and 9 are 100 bytes different from JL5. That's like a letter in a config file. Ill grab them and do a file compare to see what has changed.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
oh wtf, how did i reply here... sorry lol idk how i replied here i thought i was replying on the nero 4 thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] hendawg1983:
where are those firmwares? I'll try them out
[Vibrant Android Development] Holeblocker:
So you're trying to tell us.. Newer =/= Better?

:eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
They aren't newer. They ARE JL5. even when extracting, the extracted file name SAY JL5.
[Vibrant Android Development] oka1:
Awwwwwwwww my Rubber ducky is sinking......sniff*

It would be nice if TMO would actually update their software...... Maybe they will release on 1-15-11 Martin Luther king day Hmmmm I ll file that under the "I have a Dream" tag :p
[Vibrant Android Development] rhcp011235:
The guy releases firmwares with diff names but packed in as old ones. Hoping for people to pay for the decrypt key.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Man that is a really shady move. A New froyo version would of been really cool though, as it probably would of had some really necessary fixes in it. Just hoping for the next Leak.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Nah, hoping for an actual release with full source...
[Vibrant Android Development] jokersax11:
Can you md5 files inside to see if its changed or not. Someone could have gotten lazy and didn't rename it from jl5
[Vibrant Android Development] glensta:
Well F. that guyeeeee.....he's not gonna get anything from me....know why? Cuz I'm tellin' Mom!
[Vibrant Android Development] Chainfire:
That makes no sense at all :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Haxel:
I think he means the guy that did the "JL8 JL9" stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chainfire:
That still makes no sense. Samsung does this, Samsung does not sell the codes or anything.
[Vibrant Android Development] compuguy1088:
I think he is referring to sam-firmware..........not samsung
[Vibrant Android Development] drmosh:
It's now Jan, new firmware would be JM(x) wouldn't it?
[Vibrant Android Development] Whitehawkx:
Thought it was KA#
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Yeah pretty sure it'd be KA# Since its a New Year and New Month, so there'd be New Letters. And of course the build number.
[Vibrant Android Development] funeralthirst:
good.

hopefully samsung will release jl5 as an official update and start leaking 2.2.1. or better yet, 2.3.

time to move on, folks.
[Vibrant Android Development] Chainfire:
In that case he is still wrong ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
It will be KAx. X being version number. It hasn't been built yet.
[Vibrant Android Development] dcchristopher:
MLK is the 17th (I hope that helps your planning as you may have the day off from whatever it is you do).

Moreover ... the only thing more astonishing than the fact that there will never be a Monday 1/15/xx11 is that I spent a considerable amount of time looking for one (at the end of the day, Excel is your best friend) just to reply with a joke like "do you really want to wait until 1/15/xx11 for them to release it?"

Scary, huh? If that Loughner case is any indication, there are a lot of messed up people out there ... more than you could ever imagine.
[Vibrant Android Development] synaesthetic:
I was getting a little confused about this myself. :)

Instead of hoping for more Froyo leaks, I'd hope for an official Froyo release (followed by source code!) or a Gingerbread leak.

Now if wishes were fishes, how about official 2.3 release followed by source code? :(
[Vibrant Android Development] kennyp987:
I swear some people on here must be on drugs..

[Vibrant Android Development] dbacchus:
megalol... How about a person who actually CHECKED if you were right? Anyways, good find...
[Vibrant Android Development] jokersax11:
Link is up from offical site. Might be for the vibrant 4g but you never know
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Yeah its up on the official site which kind of makes me think if it is a new build. But chainfire said that it was JL5. Hmmm we dont know until someone goes in and checks it out. Man this is where i wish i knew how to do this kind of stuff.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
It's not a new build.

Look at it this way.

Dec 31st. they reposted JI6 and JL2.... guess what... the same.
[Vibrant Android Development] geoffcorey:
are you serious? if you read the thread, you would have found this:

LISTEN to the people who find these roms and let you know about them. They wouldn't lie to you to hold builds back.
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
It IS NOT the Vib4G firmware.

Vibrant = SGH-T959

Vibrant+ = N/A at this time.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazie1:
Okay i was just confirming that they weren't New builds. So i appreciate you confirming it. I read this thread a lot of times already but thought i asked one more time to be sure. Thanks for confirming. JL9 is just JL5.
[Vibrant Android Development] raullugo:
Could someone please let me know where to fin this JL5/JL8 firmware?
[Vibrant Android Development] serendipityguy:
I am sure you will be the one who drops it.

Thanks for not forgetting about us Chainfire. :rolleyes:

It appears that 2.1 seems mature and most of the devs have moved on to other projects, waiting for something to create for the T959.

It is nice to know that you are still in the game, I am very grateful for this knowledge that you have posted.

When it does come out (GB),:cool: I am sure you will be the one who drops it!

Guys, this thread is from January... :D
[Vibrant Android Development] raullugo:
Please guys, again, can someone tell me where to download the jl5 or jl8 firmware (the same aparently)? I urgently need it as I am trying to fix my Vibrant with a busted memory problem. I already looked in samfirmware and XDA but found nothing...
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
why JL5?

KA6 or JFD is what you want
[Vibrant Android Development] raullugo:
Its because I am folowwing a workaround for the busted memory problem posted in another thread at XDA forums and the instrictions call for JL8 so that is what I am looking for...
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
what device was that guide written for?

;)
[Vibrant Android Development] jneal9:
Try one of these HERE.

And HERE's s15274n's very good guide if you get stuck.
[Vibrant Android Development] scrizz:
FYI bell Vibrant is GT-i9000m

it is not the same as the US Vibrant(SGH-T959)

please do not use any of the vibrant firmwares on this forum.

instead go to the Galaxy S forum located here:

please don't try to help unless you know what device the person is using.

[Vibrant Android Development] jneal9:
Right you are. Didn't even see that... :eek:
[Vibrant Android Development] raullugo:
The I9000 forums are exactly where I looked, I already tried a bounch of fixes and the one that I could get to work half way is in the link that I already posted. I am looking for the JL8 firmware, which a bounch of people already tried and got their dead devices working, Scrizz if you know if its been posted somewhere for download it would be a huge help.
[Vibrant Android Development] explodingboy70:
Do you want the latest firmware or JL5 specifically???

I'll keep looking for more recent firmware but if just trying to save your phone this might help.
[Vibrant Android Development] raullugo:
Well, I read this thread and it seams it is the same thing, so I am willing to give JL5 a shot fur sure...

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] matt_b:
i saw this article on lifehacker and decided to give it a shot. zeam launcher is fantastic; i have noticed an increase in the snappiness of my phone. i would highly recommend it.

zeam launcher
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] mosamjc:
I second it. I use launcher pro paid for my day to day, but I keep zeam around for days I want a lean, fast no frills launcher. I also got adw ex the other day and have been impressed at the improvements over the fairly lame earlier versions of adw. It's getting to be a crowded market in the launcher department, which in my mind is a good thing.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] iJudgeMAN:
Ive been using GO Launcher and I love it so far over the ADW launcher stock to CM
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] 911jason:
I've been using Zeam for a week or two and really like it. I'm also using it on my Nook Color. Works great and seems very quick.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] jeebuz:
It is fast; however, running it only on the CM7 nightlies because it seems to go faster than LP+, ADW, and Go.

LP+ will always run on CM6.1.1 for me though (:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdawg21:
I have a stock MT4G and have expanded to 7 screens. The first 4 screens have been fine, but widgets installed on the other screens seem to disappear at random. The widgets in question are not installed on the SD (common cause found via search). They are still installed - but I have to re-add them to the screen which is annoying.

Anyone else having these issues and any solutions? One of the widgets is WinAmp.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guttus:
When I first bought my device I had to send it back due to a faulty power button. The next one they sent me had the same issue. Are you getting a force close error for "com.htc.bg" at all?

The issues I had started with the widgets disappearing from the home screens. It progressed into all apps and widgets would disappear or get rearranged by themselves. I then started getting that error I mentioned above every ten minutes on the phones display. After 2 day of searching for answers and factory rebooting multiple times I gave up and just called in for an exchange again. T-mobile did replace this one as well.

I tried to recreate the problem you speak of but the only time I found it to happen was when I would unplug it from charging both in the car and attached to a wall charger. IMO get a new one.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdawg21:
I don't get that error....at least not yet. I think it happens when I change modes. Not 100% sure - will have to do some tests. Thanks for the feedback.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dddrko:
Moderators are pleased to move this topic if I posted it to wrong forum, sorry.

I was shocked when tried white-energy's Feather Desire HD Build with the 100% translated Serbian language. Tried some more ( Bulgarian, German ) and found them perfect too. While waiting for white-energy to support ext4 data partition on SD card I decided to try andrewf403's AF403 DesireHD rom. I've installed Gingerbread keyboard ( search Marketplace for "Keyboard from Android 2.3" ) there and got the same results as with Feather Desire HD Build. Now, the catch is ( thanks to xMareXx ) not to manualy choose your language ( you'll lose your location in Clock widget and get some more force-close issues this way ) but go thru Setup process again setting your language there. The keyboard itself isn't required and you may continue using default HTC or any other keyboard. Serbian keyboard from Gingerbread is Cirilic only so I'm using HTC's wich have very well supported Serbian latin characters. I didn't try this in other roms, but I'm sure it will work on Desire Z based roms too. If somebody try on Desire or Evo rom, please tell me the result.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ASCIIker:
i am using projections desire based NAND ROM.

sorry, i can't give any feedback for multilingual improvements that result due to installing the gingerbread keyboard as you have suggested. this is mainly because i am not a multilingual user so i don't know what to look for, neither will i understand any language i switch to for testing :D

but i just wanted to say thanks for the information about an EASY way to install a keyboard! sometimes, i don't think about the simpler ways! the installation experience this time was magnitudes better and easier than the last time i changed a keyboard (added droid x keyboard to phiremod's skinny evo some months ago). :D

[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
Has anyone seen awesome battery life with this thing or is it just me!? It's been off the charger for 4h20m ;) and the battery is as 87%. wifi off, gps off, bluetooth off, sync ON. just text messaging all day, maybe 20 texts total (slow day today). little bit of facebook, little bit of email, thats about it, so i didn't really do much with the battery but even so with this kind of use my evo would probably be down to around 70%.

battery indicator pro says the display is responsible for 64% of the power drain and cell standby is only 12%, whereas my evo usually had around 50% cell standby and display was only like 8%. was the evo just really bad at holding a signal or what? my display is at middle brightness, if you use the power control widget.

can anyone else tell me how much % their display uses? and what their battery life is like?

after typing this post it's only dropped 1%. word.
[EVO Shift 4G General] utcjl18:
Personally, I don't have much of a basis for comparison. I just got my Shift on an upgrade from an aging Samsung feature phone. I've heard all about the horrid battery life on the Evo. My brother has one and can't get a full day of use.

I was out with a real estate agent looking at houses for 6 hours yesterday. We used the GPS a little bit. I was checking NFL playoff scores every hour or so. I was also texting/emailing lightly. 4G was off. By the evening when I put it back on the charger it was still in the green. I didn't look at the power meter specifics... wish I did.

And today I'm just about to leave the office right now. I'm at 8 hrs, 59 min since unplugged with 6/10 green battery bars. (Hey... how do I get the exact percentage? Thanks!)

Display is 62% of my usage (It's set to Auto-brightness). Android system is next at 20%... Light email/texting use all day long at work. Played games for 30 minutes during lunch. Downloaded some new apps (using 4G). Wi-Fi and GPS off all day.

Overall it's a little better than I expected. But I know I haven't really had a heavy day of use yet.
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
Battery Indicator Pro is a great app that runs in your menubar and displays the percentage for you.

glad we're on the same page with the display, though
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
I almostmreturned the phone. My cycles were:

1st 8+ hours

2nd 4 hours

3rd 2 hours

Did a factory reset on the phone and it has started to turn around.

4th 9:40 min and at 30% when on the charger

5th 10:46 and still going. Battery is at 30%
[EVO Shift 4G General] Joten8700:
I've recharged twice since I got it on Saturday. This seems great, coming from the sprint hero
[EVO Shift 4G General] vrundmc:
Exactly. My hero sucked. I used my phone lightly and had it without a charge for over 24 hours. Did some playing around setting it up and then some light texting, emailing, and 4g usage. Then turned off 4g. Amazing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] ttown:
This isn't your dream phone, it's the one after that;). You gotta take it out and play with it more!
[EVO Shift 4G General] Zardos66:
I've had to charge it twice a day since the sixth, battery life has been terrible.

I have all the stuff disabled, it just seems to drain even when nothing is running.

I did have an issue with terrible signal on the first day, once I did ##DATA# it fixed it, but my battery life is sucking it up badly.

Sent from my bathroom, with toilet paper.
[EVO Shift 4G General] kenvan19:
Just got my wife a shift earlier today and ran it down from the half life that came with the battery in about...6 hours. That was with near constant use, the screen on max, wifi, and sync. Plus GPS on for awhile too. Compared to my epic which with similar use can go...maybe 6 hours from full? It depends. I'll be comparing her battery usage to mine over time and I'll post after she gets some use from a full charge. Under normal usage I can get up to 28 hours from my Epic so people reporting horrible battery life must be doing something wrong or have a defective battery. I fully expect her to get a couple days life out of each of her charges though she'll probably throw it on the charger every night.
[EVO Shift 4G General] edgemaster191:
anyone have an explanation of why the screen is the largest amount of usage under battery stats? yesterday was an average day for me and the display was something like 50%. on my Evo cell standby was always the highest and the display was down around 8 or 10%

edit: this morning the phone has been unplugged for an hour and a half and cell standby is 50% and the display is 11%... *scratches head*
[EVO Shift 4G General] MaxCarnage:
I just switched to Sprint a couple days ago and got an EVO 4G; I am really unhappy with the battery life and though I got them to give me an extended battery for free it still seems like it's dying very quickly. I am a heavy data user and it's driving me crazy; does anyone have any experience going from the EVO 4G to the Shift and, if so, what are your thoughts, particularly in regards to battery life? Is it worth the loss of size and cameras?
[EVO Shift 4G General] yokken:
i went from the evo to the shift (30 day swap deal) and i haven't even looked back. the battery life is STELLAR as far as i'm concerned. the evo sucked down power like nobody's business. i'm sure if you got an extended battery for the shift it would last you 2 days at least.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Bigjim1488:
All I gotta say is my extended battery experience is amazing. I get about 36 hours out of my evo. Yea it looks a little fugly now but fck it I can abuse it as much as I want too with battery to spare.
