[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpocrates:
The phone revolution has finally come to the U.S. so things will have to change...

Before all phones were crappy so it didn't really matter...now every 6 months a phone that was once new will be old news and the new ones will be must haves...

This has been the case in europe for years and so service providers can't force customers into 2 year contracts like here...most contracts are 12 months(and you can upgrade to a new phone practically free in 10mnths) and just to get people into 18 month contracts they have to offer great incentives...hopefully that will become the case here..

But to get to the point..with phones finally getting better you do feel the need to upgrade all the time...don't get carried away...think of it like with a new tv..new ones..bigger ones, faster response time, more color,3d, internet apps,usb ports...they keep adding stuff making you want the latest and the greatest...you don't need it..you want it...but don't need it...

See what your phone has..how you use it and evaluate of it meets your needs...granted now you are using it for a lot more stuff than before...gps, internet searches, facebook updates etc...suit down and think what you use your phone and if it lacks in any department...make a note of all the areas where you would like improvement and then start researching which phone would cover those specified areas..don't get carried away by features that seem cool but once you have them you will not use...(video calling for example..it is a phase..just like it was in europe and it went away fast..not everyone has it here..its not cross platform...ie pc to phone...and it telies on spotty 4g coverage or wifi..). Once you know what you need and find which phone had that...get that phone and stick with it...

I bought the g1 when it came out because I knew I would love android..I was right..after having it for almost two years I found that it was lacking speed due to cpu and lack of memory for installed apps...granted I was using apps2sd to over come its issues but this was a bypass got an issue that was there...i researched and found that the vibrant had exactly what I needed..1ghz cpu and 16gb internal memory for apps and storage...i was right..with nero v5 rom on it and an 8gb card it is amazingly fast and it does EVERYTHING I need...i don't need anything now for a long time...i want the new stuff..i don't need them...now I will wait for a phone that comes with honeycomb and performs well with it...it will be at least 6 to 8 months before I see something worth investigating which will be near my upgrade time so I don't have to spend too much money to get it (i got the vibrant for 99 bucks through amazon wireless with a2yr contact...)

Patience, good research and will power are all key...

"Wish in one hand, **** in the other. See which one gets filled first."

Lol, wish I had every new one that came out :)

But I renew my phone once every 2 years.

@Ian/w98seng, nope it doesn't change much with a woman around either!

I have a Nokia 6120 Classic right now from 2007 I think :), but I LOVE SGS. Hope to get one as soon as possible with a contract. I didn't know about SGS 2, which is nice :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mitty1990:
Either when something better comes out or when O2 offer me an upgrade :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nwsk:
Pretty much only upgrade when my existing contract expires and I get a discount on a new phone :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
OK, I'll be patient and wait a couple of yeas before I get another phone. It'll be hard and I'll cry a lot, but I'll be a good boy and wait. (Maybe:D)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
you know you can SELL the phone, and upgrade to another phone....

that's what most people do to keep up with the latest and greatest

sell it meanwhile it stills hot (6 month to a year)

then upgrade to the next phone will not be as painful

it's like leasing a phone

you pay a $100 give or take every 6 mth to get a better phone ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
My job allows me to change the phone every year and I think its an ideal duration to play around, fiddle and poke around in a phone, especially when my company pays for it :) But exceptionally, Galaxy S keeps surprising me every now and then keeps me busy. Its like a woman, once you conquer it you will get over with it and get bored of it BUT not yet!! Unlike iPhone 3GS where I was looking to move on after 4-5 months.

How do you get a new one every 6 months for a100?

With a2 year contract?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpocrates:
They get bored of us too you know...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpocrates:
Wait until your plan allows you to upgrade at low cost (usually after 18mnths on t-mobile) and go for a phone that had honeycomb and decent hardware to run it...I'm thinking 6-8 months from now there will be enough info on the models that are out to make an educated purchase..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] harpocrates:
The current rumor on the sgs2 is 1.2 ghz cpu, 8mp camera with lcd flash, capacitive touch screen,2.3 gb on it, fm radio with rds,hdmi output, 16gb memory,ffc....

if you have have the current vibrant I suggest trying nero v5 with voodoo lag fix.. ka5 with proper flash support...it will completely changer your phone experience...trust me...make a nandroid so you can give it a try and if you don't like it...restore...it feels like a new phone...search for sbg.v2.4 from jdan as well and that will make it even better...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w98seeng:
Thanks for all the feed back. I will probably wait till my contract runs out before I get another phone.

harpocrates I'll give Nero V5 a shot, thanks.

Alright so i flashed my phone with darkyy's mod downloaded from other android forum & now i wanted to re-flash the phone as if was not functioning properly. So all i did was went into ROM manager, tapped on "Reboot into Recovery" & since then the phone is stuck on what title says, i tried 3 button combo but it doesn't work. Please help, i'm desperate on solving this as it is costing me big problem in me business.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aludus:
My Computer is viewing my internal memory as a CD Drive. I tried to copy some pictures from the Galaxy Vibrants internal memory to my computer today and I got this wonderful message "Invalid MS-DOS function".

At first I thought it might be corrupt internal memory... but then I can still view all the information on my phone.

Any ideas what this may be?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byt3b0mb:
aludus, what rom are you using? some of the older froyo roms have issues mounting storage card as read only, which may contribute to the above error.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aludus:
Thanks for your reply im using the newest nero 5 rom. When I had the Nero 3 rom I didn't experience this ... I find it kind of strange. Ill try to reinstall the drivers.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geoffcorey:
make a backup of your SD card:

adb pull /sdcard/

This will backup your internal and external sdcard. Make sure you have adb setup first, and don't mount any of your sdcards.

Next, using your phone, format BOTH memory cards. See if they still mount as a CD drive.

Hey guys ,

I have Nexus S from USA and I haven't Polisch language in my firmware , Who knows which Firmware owns Polish language ? Thx :confused:

Or how change Product Code to Polisch ?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waza_Be:
Never tried Polish, but have you downloaded More Locale 2 from Android Market?

[HD2 General] luxxa:
my phone is atm bricked.

so I have only the bootloader, if I plug the phone with the win7, I can't get the driver installed because it can't recognize the phone.

usb cable is ok because I still can connect it with a pc where I had the driver installed when the phone was working.

Is there any driver that I can install alone?

Thanks
[HD2 General] jinan:
Try it on a WinXP, if you can access one. Or have you tried flashing the phone via the SD card method? You may need to root your phone if not rooted already, by HSPL. Google for HSPL. But HSPL would also need phone to be connected to a PC via USB :( Then download a stock ROM from HTC website, rename the .nbh file to leoimg.nbh and put it in the root of your SD card. Restart the phone whilst keeping the VolumeUP and VolumeDown buttons pressed simultaneously. Then follow the instructions from there on. Hope I have helped. If you are still stuck, then PM me and I will try to help to my best. However, I am also not an expert on this either, just learning by fiddling around :)
[HD2 General] Richy99:
so you are saying you are unable to flash a rom from the bootloader?

you dont need any drivers for windows toflasha rom when you are in bootloade4r mode, plug the cable in it should turn from serial to usb and then you run the flash file from windows
[HD2 General] rauschkugl:
i also needed a driver for win7 64bit.

just klick the pop-up when you plug your phone and let windows search the driver.

worked for me...

:confused: ok i've confused when flashing roms. i've rooted with super one click method.. when flashing a rom the steps are

METHOD A

put the zip on....... IS THIS FOR SUPER1CLICK METHOD

backup

wipedata factory rest and flash the zip card. :confused: IS THIS METHOD CORRECT ?

or

METHOD B

zip on sd

backup

wipedata factory reset AND

wipe delvik cache :confused::confused::confused::confused:

Which one is correct?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
As you have rooted, install ROM Manager from the Market, use that to install ClockworkMod recovery and then use it to backup what you have. Finally you can use it to flash the ROM you want as a zip from the SD card, and if memory serves, it'll ask you to wipe as well.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yrdito:
wow thanks. this method is easy than above 2 :) ;) :D
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuzzFuzz:
I changed the application Calendar mainly for myself. Those brown wooden colors...

I would first have to thank you user agentdr8 for his deodex, again.

How to:

First, backup your existing TouchWizCalendar.apk and TouchWizCalendar.odex to somewhere else then remove them and replace with the attached TouchWizCalendar.apk, reboot.

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] tw1nz:
I was wating on this! Thanks BuzzFuzz and agentdr8!

I can confirm it works with ROTO-JMEv3.

I use Root explorer to move the files and reboot.

I made i fail, i delete the .odex file for the calculator when i should delete the file from calendar. Somebody got it and can send me a mail with it? Pm me :)

And again Thanks buzzfuzz and agentdr8. Calendar and contact look so nice :)

Thanks for the Mod, it works great with Roto-JME v4.

VZW Tab - Calendar

Hey guys, I backed up my calendar.apk , and odex, and then deleted them and installed the new touchwiz calendar.apk It didnt work(which is ok) I then deleted touchwiz calendar.apk , and odex , and replaced it with the original calendar.apk and odex, and rebooted my system. My calendar is still showing up with no wood border, and whenever i try to access "calendars(in order to choose which calendars I want to display) it force closes. Can anyone help me out, maybe send me all the original apk's and odex files for calendar?

danbryan80@gmail.com
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
I don't know if Buzz mentioned on his first post, but the file posted most likely will only work on GSM tabs. The CDMA tabs (Sprint/Verizon) seem to have different framework files so both the modified Calendar and Contacts apks posted won't work. I asked one individual to send me the framework files from his Sprint tab but haven't heard back. If you'd like to volunteer your framework files and your calendar.apk and .odex, I can probably deodex them for you and put BF's modified pngs into it.

Does your Verizon tab have different calendar apps installed? The GSM-based ones have just TouchWizCalendar.apk/odex, but you mention a Calendar.apk/odex?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] ck3ml:
Hi,

Just wanting to say, mod is awesome - clean and simple :)

Just curious though - have you simply removed/replaced the images in the apks or have there been other tweaks..?

Having noticed that the Dialer pane in Contacts, Launcher, Mail and Camera don't scale as screen density increases. Would altering these apps so that they scale be do-able?

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuzzFuzz:
Only changed background with new template - Replaced
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] desperate:
Could you explain me how to do that?

Is it possible to use any of my own picture to make as template and replace it like you did?

and..

Is it same way to do it in all region of device and firmware ?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuzzFuzz:
Region doesn't matter.

How: e.g. contacts.apk

open contacts.apk with winrar, and u will see inside some folders.

All image files are always in res folder. U can unzip res folder to desktop and inside res folders are subfolders like drawable, drawable-hdpi...

there u have all images from apk. Im sure u know how to see image size and image formats (jpg, png..)

Than check what do u want to change, take one of your pics, resize it to same size, rename in same name as original and replace with existing one. Easy...

After editing just put new image back into folder in rar.

Navigate to eg. drawable-hdpi in winrar and put inside new image. Winrar will be auto replace file with new one.

Sure, first create backup of your original apk...in case you do something wrong.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nico1375:
hum.. I wasn't that careful, and just moved the original apk elsewhere and replaced with your apk.

Of course it didn't work, calendar didn't show in the applications drawer.

I replaced with the original but it force closes every 2mn, and still do not show in the app drawer.

Any tip?

I would like to avoid having to reflash my tab just for that...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] desperate:
Got it! Thanks!

I'll try :D
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nico1375:
Any clue? Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuzzFuzz:
Hmm, im not sure, did u delete both original files, apk & odex?

than just copy new apk...and must work. maybe even without reboot.

U can try this:

download original files forem here:

http://www.mediafire.com/?7m0xq4db05ht71y

-delete your old apk or odex files from app folder

-copy originals files (from link above)

-reboot tab, than your calendar MUST work.

-download calendar.apk from first page

-go back into app folder, delete TouchWizCalendar.apk + TouchWizCalendar.odex

-than copy new TouchWizCalendar.apk (downloaded from first page)

-MUST be ok
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nico1375:
Thanks for your answer.

I use Modaco custom ROM which is deodexed so I don't have any odex file in my /system/app

Would it work in this case?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] BuzzFuzz:
np...

it should be
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nico1375:
well even the original app (i copied apk + odex in /system/app) still refuses to appear in the app drawer...

should I do something specific? wiping cache or...?

I rebooted, still nothing and the force close happens automatically...

EDIT :

finally reflashed my rom (non wipe so no trouble), made a proper backup and try again but still the same problem...

at least I could restore my calendar backup this time :)
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
@nico

There might be some differences in the framework files for JMI that MCR uses vs. say Roto's JMIv2. I used the modded Contacts and Calendar from JME on my new JMIv2 install and it works just fine.

If you'd like to upload your stock MCR TouchWizCalendar.apk I can compare it to the one from JME and see what needs to be changed.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nico1375:
thanks very much, it's very kind of you :)

Th apk is uploaded here :

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=3DQDHLWI
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] agentdr8:
@nico, try this. I tested it on my Roto-JMI and it works fine. Make sure you remove system@app@TouchWizCalendar.apk@classes.dex from /data/dalvik-cache prior to restarting.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] nico1375:
Thanks very much, it workd perfectly :)

Force Close problem at 200 screen res

This is a great mod, but like the stock calendar, it force closes when i change my screen res to 200.

Anyone know of a solution or an alternative calendar app that is more likely to be stable?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] gwbard:
Have you toyed with different resolutions? I'm @ 210 and have no issues with this Calendar.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] jimmyjack72:
Hi gwbard,

Thanks for the suggestion.

Looks like stock Calendar has the issue too. Tries at original res and 210 as well with no luck. It's very odd.

Im at 194 and i have no issues with this. . . .
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] V6-Maniac:
As i'm flashed Overcome 2.0.0 Beta 1 on my Galaxy Tab last night.

I was curious if the modified Calendar apk could be applied at Gingerbread 2.3.3

And i can confirm that it work with out any issues.

I have tried it and I can confirm that the modded TouchCalendarWiz.apk works fine on Gingerbread / Overcome 2.0.0 Beta 1 :)

Suggestion

I have not tried your app yet, but I have a suggestion.

If you could turn on or off each individual LED, rather than all on or all off, then you could consider using each button to indicate something different.

Home - new email

Menu - new text

Back - missed call

Maybe you can even make them blink?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] LightningGA:
What would be the point of that with this app.....it turns the lights on when the screen is on, if the screen is on then you have those same notifications at the top of the screen already.

Though I guess it might be useful for some if those additions were made to Guardian Bob's BLINKY APP.

Support for Galaxy Tablet

First off, thanks for your efforts!! This is exactly what I'm looking for.

Any chance you will be able to support this on the galaxy tablet? I am happy to help in any way I can - I am a developer (though I haven't done much android development). I have a rooted device with busy box... if there's anything I can do to help you figure out this device, please let me know!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lotherius:
Crazy me, I would honestly like to be able to DISABLE these lights. I watch movies and do other things a lot in the dark, and these bright white lights randomly popping up on my phone are very distracting. Since they can be turned ON manually, does that mean perhaps they can be turned OFF as well?

Lovin it. One of the pet peeves of this device was the short duration on the home keys.
