[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
Not sure if this belongs here, but since I flashed a Froyo custom ROM on my i5800 my sound recorder hasn't been working properly. I record my lectures only to find that the sound ends somewhere from a few seconds up to about 5.30 minutes. The file sizes and everything looks fine, and it plays, but it's as if the microphone was disconnected or something during the recording. The issue is in both the Voice Recorder and Tasker apps, and these worked fine while I was on stock Eclair, so I think it's a ROM issue. Both apps record in 3gp format.

I noticed however that the stock recorder works fine. It records in amr. But I can't use it because it needs to stay in the foreground to record and the screen has to stay on, and I want to be able to use my phone otherwise during the recording. Could it be an issue with the background recording service? I read somewhere that Froyo has a task manager that stops most apps in the background.

i would suggest you clear your cache or may be try a factory reset.. btw..

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
A factory reset is something I don't want. Too much hassle restoring the settings, though I'm working on a script to fix that. I'm running Indroid 3.0. Kyrillos 3.x didn't work for me.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaleptik:
What is the script written for? Windows? Linux?
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skele Drew:
Linux. I can write a batch file to provide some Windows control, but the available commands are too limited. And besides, it's better to have something working on the phone so the computer isn't needed.

Guys listen. I have noticed several users trying to flash a custom rom and then asking questions like: how to enter download mode, how to root, how to use odin and also more BASIC stuff like what is a filesystem and how to partition sdcard... Someone even tried to flash a .zip file!!!!! COME ON!!! I don't want to pose as a guru or something (which I am definitely not) but at least I have a minimum knowledge about linux and windows. Take your time and search basic stuff on Google and in the forums, even if you don't understand English well. There is always Google translate;-) DON'T flood the forums with the same questions over and over again and DON'T start a flashing procedure before having all your inquiries answered. Minimize the possibility of bricking your galaxy!! I didn't want to open a new thread so I posted here, where I believe

there is a good chance that enough people will read it. Sorry for the length and I repeat I don't want to show off, I'm just tired of seeing the same queries almost everywhere.

[Q] Video Codecs

Hey guys.

Most of the videos that i have on my PC are encoded in x264 format in the mkv container. And Galaxy 3 doesn't play these formats natively. So i was wondering if there is a way i can play these videos smoothly on the phone.

I have tried an app called Mobo Player from the market. It is successful in playing some of these files but the playback is quite bad quality and is very choppy, making it virtually impossible to watch.

Phone is the i5801 flashed with XXJPM, rooted, deodexed, JIT enabled

You will have to delete your contacts.. (orkut).

If u use google account for orkut your orkut friends are automatically synced in google contacts. And when you add google account to your android phones, google contacts are synced on android.

So do this..

Go to your gmail account and click on contacts.

Delete all orkut contacts.

They should be deleted from your phone as well

Hi everyone,

I'm have some experience with android (g1 - desire - desire Z)

but now i want to flash a sams galaxy apollo and i find myself a bit confuses.

For htc phones the procedure allways was: get root, get a custom recovery, flash custom rom.

But for sams you flash everything with odin. now my question is:

if my goal is to get Indroid 4.1 running on my phone.

can i just flash indroid in one go?

or should i first get root, then get the stock XXJPM rom and then InDroid?

(a2sd+ etc i'll manage its just the flashing i'm unsure about)

About Signing apk - Clarifications needed !

hello !

Well, I'm going to try to be clear ...

- What I can read in the xda-dev's posts is that it's an obligation to re-sign an apk after modified it (I know it's not necessary in case of modifying only .png files)

- I did that for some apps I modded and it worked well (strange thing is that the META-INF contains file of 2008)

- Today I modified a "system" apk (Contacts.apk) and sign it again the same way. And it didn't work (crash). Then I put back the original META-INF in the new one and it worked ! The difference is that original Contacts.apk is signed by Samsung, and when I resign with my tool the signature is from an other company. So it worked with a modded Contacts.apk with non up to date sign !

So, now, my questions :

- Where can I find a recent key to sign my modded apps (to not have 2008 certifications files) ? (if needed ?)

- Is it really necessary to (re)sign after modifying xml or smali files ?? It seems not ! or only when modifying smali files ?

- Signing frameworks-res.apk is different than an app ?

- Is there a Samsung key to sign system apk's ? (if needed ?)

Sorry, but this let me confused !

Waiting for help !

Thanks.

Noob question about modem drivers in the Galaxy 3

Hello, Coming from another part of XDA I have noticed the great work that's been put into the various roms for this device and it occurred to me that some of you might know a thing or two about the chipset of the galaxy 3 phone.

As far as I've read, the phone uses the QSC6270 as its processor. 1. Is this correct ?

2. Does the phone also use this chip as its GSM modem ?

3. I read somewhere on this forum that there's a modem.bin file that is called by Android. Roughly how does this work ?

This would be of great interest to a group of people working on porting Android to the Samsung GT-S8500 that noteably has the QSC6270 processor as its modem. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14927492). FYI the wizards there have got android 2.2 working but they're stuck on the modem. At this time there's a couple of guys (oleg_k noteably) trying to crack the difficult modem driver. If we can have some useful info from the Galaxy 3 firmware (that is if the phone uses the QSC6270 as its modem) we'd be very, very pleased.

Thanks in advance for your reply,
