Is there a screen protector that is not slippery and doesn't leave finger smudges
[myTouch 4G Accessories] jmwils3:
youre going to want a screen rotector with a matte finish, then. they are highly resistant to fingerprints, as well as reducing the glare on the screen from overhead lighting. Now, they are not foolproof, nor are the completely anti-glare or fingerprint-repellant. They just seem to to be the best option.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrisisCorE:
First of all, I'm not a total newbie to this kind of stuff. I've already been creating firmwares for Different mobile Phones, some Linux-running routers and the Sony PSP, but this is my first try on Android.

At first I wanted to start off simply: compile the source on my Ubuntu and flash it - that's how I would start with any open-source 'from the scratch'-project. So I got repo, set it up and synced it, compiled it and created a zip with the rom kitchen to try if it even boots. Well it didn't (this is a bit more complicated than flashing a linux firmware to a router). Then I've taken a look a the update-script and modified it. The rom now installs successfully, but still doesn't boot. Wel my questions are:

1. Are there any guides on properly setting up the update-script? I didn't find anything, but maybe I didn't look in the right places.

2. I probably did everything wrong with the compiling. what are the options I get when I enter 'lunch' for? They should change settings for the compilation right? Am I good with the HTC passion option or do I need anything different?

Finally don't be angry because of my grammar/spelling, I'm from germany and don't get mad because of possibly 'noobish' questions, I promised I searched the forums and giyf.com ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robe42:
I too have searched for this with little to no success, so +1 on this...

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
You've got the new 32B radio which a lot of ROM's don't support. After flashing CM you need to also flash the 2708 kernel patch. Search for ezterry on here, download his kernel, put it on your SD card along with CM 6.1 and the Google Apps Add-on, boot into recovery, wipe system/cache/dalvik-cache, and finally flash the 3 files from above. Make sure you flash the 2708 kernel AFTER flashing CM 6.1.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] smaidonis:
thanks for your response, i did what you said install 6.1 then kernel patch than adoon... and still the same evil red vodafone screen allready 30 min

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Google the APN settings for whatever carrier the SIM card is with. At the Google activation screen, hit menu, then wireless networks, then "Access Point Names". Either edit the existing entry to match the settings for your carrier or add a new for your carrier.

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Try using SuperOneClick. You may need to install superuser from the market after running it.
[Wildfire General] Kalavere:
I recently installed Cyanogen on the girlfriends Wildfire, I am using the 'stock' kernel with the ROM, however from time to time she was getting random restarts and the screen was turning a yellowish green colour, only a reboot would solve the issue. I moved SetCPU back to stock clocks (It was only at ~610Mhz overclock) however the problem persists.

I've literally just changed to HCDR.Kernel v4.1 and on first reboot I've gotten the yellow screen. Does anyone know what could be causing this issue? The phone was absolutely fine before installing Cyanogen, and I don't really want to keep messing about with her phone flashing from ROM to ROM, it was hard enough to convince her that an AOSP ROM would be better than stock!

I've had a quick search and I can only see one instance of this happening and it's a two post thread :rolleyes:, which is of no help to me, any light anyone could shed on the issue would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Wildfire General] Profiler08:
Do not set your cpu min. Value too low. Keep it above 250mhz

i have a tmous hd2.

after installing MAGLDR 1.12 i flashed DFT WM7 to try it out. it was nice but i was having sd card issues so i then flashed NexusHD2-Gingerbread_V2.0 NAND. i was having some trouble with the unlock screen freezing when waking up. hitting the power button a few times seemed to help. then the touch screen stopped working all together. i bought a new sd card for WP7 so i flashed DFT WP7 again, still no touch screen. i flashed a WM6.5 Energy rom, still no touch screen. But i did notice that in the rainbow boot screen while flashing WM6.5, now i cant remember everything exactly, the something {touch} value was N/A. i have been search tooling here for a couple of hours now, starting some googleing, but if anyone has some suggestions/ideas/threads to be directed to i would appreciate it.

[HTC Aria General] NuNinja:
Sorry if this has been asked before...

I'm on stock 2.1 rooted. In order for me to access /system or /data, I must mount it manually via recovery. Is there any way that they may be accessed (from the phone preferably, but at the very least from the computer) while the phone is booted?

Thanks In Advance
[HTC Aria General] stone_ship:
in short, no. Phones that can do that are S=OFF, whereas the Aria is S=ON. You have to be in Recovery to mess with the /system or /data stuff
[HTC Aria General] NuNinja:
It's helpful to know what its called. :D

So, would AlphaRev 2 work?
[HTC Aria General] NuNinja:
Hmmm, I installed Darktremor Apps2SD 2.7 Update 3r1 and now i can see /system in astro :confused:
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
When the phone is booted normal, the /system and /data partitions are mounted in readonly mode, that is why you see them in Astro. In order to write or modify these partitions, you need to have the phone in recovery mode and mounted as read/write.
[HTC Aria General] NuNinja:
I should have considered that. :o

It just seemed odd because I couldn't see it before and still cannot see /data...
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
When I fire up Astro, I can select the Up button and that will take me to / on the phone and I can see /acct, /cache, /data, etc. I have to scroll the screen, but all of the directories show up.
[HTC Aria General] NuNinja:
But if you open them, are they empty?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
Astro doesn't run as a rooted application, therefore it can't see the contents of readonly folders. If you open up a terminal emulator window and type 'su' at the $ prompt to gain root access, then you could do a 'ls /data' and see the contents.

EDIT: I have added a TouchWiz look-a-like dockbar. I also added the *.png files. You should find the icons from touchwiz yourself if you would like them. I added a transparent icon, for the SimpleDockbar. You have to set every icon to transparent and set the middle icon to open the AppDrawer.

[Fascinate General] justin94:
Anyone

so fresh and so superclean.
[Fascinate General] soba49:
could you be a bit more specific about what you mean by manually push? What do you mean by failed?

You could mean you flashed with Odin et al.

You could mean you did 'adb push modem.bin ...'

You could mean you tried to do the update from the settings menu, with or without going back to stock first.

Did the kernel update take? What version shows for baseband in settings/phone information?

Not knowing any specifics, the safest and most general solution is to [make sure lagfix is disabled if voodoo is installed and] run adrynalyne's all-in-one odin restore back to Di01. If you expect any answer beyond that, you need to give more information.
[Fascinate General] justin94:
It simple. Stock di01. No root. Nothing. I did the manual update through the phone setting menu. After it turns back on, the basrbabd version says s:i500.04 v.dl09. And the build number still says its di01. If I Odin push the official update, will she loose all of her information

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Hello, I just recently purchased a Samsung Captivate on At&t. I go to school with a kid who's totally into developing for android. He rooted my phone and put on the clockwork recovery, and Titanium Backup. We removed the At&t bloatware from the phone and now I'm picking up where he left off and I'm going to attempt to put a ROM onto the phone, I'm just having trouble picking one!

After reading and trying to understand everything, I'm trying to decide between the latest Cognition Rom, Perception Rom, and Paragon RC1.

I'm assuming they're all based on some version of Froyo. I'm looking for the one that will offer stable performance and better battery life than what the 2.1 is giving me now. Also, I couldn't tell but do any of these keep the Samsung UI or keyboard? I kind of actually prefer them to the normal android keyboard and interface. :confused: :confused:

Thanks!!

Dr3amCast
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeMarzo:
Well I've never used Paragon. But I have used Perception and Cognition.

Perception is based off of a leaked Froyo (I Believe)

Cognition 3.XX is basaed off the just released Rogers Official Froyo.

Both of those two roms have Swype/Samsung KB's to chose from
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blazin619:
Try cognition. I think all of them are pretty equal in quality but cognition was made to keep a stock appearance with increased speed, stability and features while also offering better battery life and gps accuracy. I would say all of the roms you mentioned deserve a flash though. Also serendipity and firefly but who has time for all that.... i do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeMarzo:
I'm currently running Cognition 3.02 btw

I switched over from Perception 10.1 when Cog 3.0 was released.

just FYI... But as Blazin said. They're all worth a look!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Okay, thanks for all the advice! I think I'm going to try cognition first. I've seen a lot of people using Serendipity. So if I don't like cognition, I might flash back to 2.1 then try that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeMarzo:
No problema.

Just a heads up. Alot of people here say you don't have to, but I like to flash back to stock before any ROM. Just ensures a good flash
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xThe Enforcer:
Yeah, seems like a lot of people disagree but it only takes a few extra minutes and better safe than sorry.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr3amCast:
Okay, just wondering, I'm not sure what a "kernel" is, I'm using "Kernel Version 2.6.29", but do I have to change that as well to successfully switch to Cognition v3.02
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeMarzo:
thats the stock kernel for the capti ate.

When you flash the rom it will update I it to the set included in the package

Capti-sent
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wesbound:
I'm quite sure you will end up flashing all three roms... Highly addictive.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
No idea why everybody thinks it's SAFER to flash back to stock first. Delete user data in CWM and everything will be fine. If odin messes up, phone gets disconnected, power goes out, etc. while flashing the bootloader files then your phone is screwed. Well...at least hard to recover. It is NOT safer by any means.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
I've tried both perception and cognition.

I really think you should try both of them out and decide.

And you should also look at other roms?? Just saying...

My best advice is to follow the threads for a bit to see what other users are experiencing. Usually people will post any issues and you can judge if it is crucial to you or not.

Me personally, I've been following phoenix, cog 3.0, and serendipity and so far still not sure which one to go for. I'm running on Cog 2.38b and it's pretty solid with some minor theme tweaks. Why break it if it works right? I'll probably try something new when I get bored.

It's virtually impossible to brick the phone. The only real way to brick it is if you flash something from ODIN with the Phone button instead of PDA. Rooting it shouldn't affect your insurance at all either, because as long as the phone boots, you can restore it completely to stock with ODIN.
