what do you mean Amon wont do backups and also if you go into the Amon recovery thread there is discussion about screen tearing. I know people use clockwork but after trying both IMO Amon does it all and seems to be causing way less issues than Clockwork...
[Nexus One General] G0belet:
Hello,

I wanted to extract one of the ringtones to listen to it more carefully (the "Crazy Dream" one from AOSP). I extracted it, launched it in VLC, and I noticed something I couldn't notice before: all the tones (or almost all of them) have artwork data filled in with various pictures. I'll let you all play with this; the ringtones are in /system/media/audio/.

The AOSP files are located here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/frameworks/base.git;a=tree;f=data/sounds/newwavelabs
[Nexus One General] swipee:
Isn't this a way to watermark the file? Or a way to make it harder for exploits to make it's way in to these files?
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
I just spoke with someone in the Sprint Escalation management team because I am having an issue with my 10 year status. I have been with Sprint since 2000 BUT it only shows since 2005. They changed systems in 2005 and some of the legacy customers are losing their tenure unless you call up and request that they put in paperwork to check your status thru your SSN.

Here's the KICK IN THE NUTS. Even IF you are a 10 year plus customer you STILL have to subscribe to a plan of $169.99 (family plan) or $89 (single plan) to get the yearly upgrade. For me that's an extra $40 a month (as I am on the $129 family plan) or $480 a year JUST TO UPGRADE one of my lines per year. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Sprint can goto hell. This is how they reward loyalty even thou they are bleeding money and soon to be customers. I will be leaving Sprint even if I have to pay an ETF. What a bunch of jokers.
[EVO 4G General] ghodzilla5150:
I read that "Must Only Meet One" BUT this is what I was told by a Sprint Escalation Management Member (they could be off their rocker and not know much as well). Knowing Sprint, I highly doubt their employees are informed correctly.
[EVO 4G General] kd0axs:
I think that person gave you some wrong information.

Also from that statement from Sprint:
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You got the wrong information. 10 year tenure automatically gives you premier.

[EVO 4G General] sminker:
I just talked to Sprint. I have an Employee Referral (used to be sero, but had to upgrade for my Hero) Its called Everything Plus Family 1600. My total Plan is $150 before taxes, thats with insurance on 3 phones and the $10 4G fee.

So I am under the $169, but i have 11 years with sprint. The employee plans representative told me that I had Tier 3 Premier Member and when it switches I will be converted to Gold status.

Looks like all you need is ONE of the items listed as a prerequisite.

Edit: I did my math wrong my plan totals $160.98 before all fees and taxes.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Im in kind of the same boat. Ive been with sprint since 2001, so I SHOULD be a gold customer now. But a few months ago, when sprint refused to replace my faulty phone, I told them "Is this how you treat a customer of 10 years?" The guy told me I'm lying, because their system shows I started in 2005, which is a complete lie, because I know for a fact I started in 2001, right after I graduated high school. Basterds..
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Grrr. . . .
[EVO 4G General] CocoaGoddess:
Well we qualify for the $169 deal, but we wouldn't have if Sprint hadn't attached the "premium data" fees to all three of our lines.

So uh .... thanks Sprint? I guess?
[EVO 4G General] Quis89:
Hmmm.....not to go against what you were told but there is Sprint literature that explicitly states that customers who have a tenure of 10 years or more will be premier regardless of their plan. We'll see though...
[EVO 4G General] liquidtrance:
So when this goes into effect in April will that give me a chance to break my contract b/c of the change? Or is it not really a 'contract' thing but a 'perk' they're taking away?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It's a perk
[EVO 4G General] dchamero:
No, you wont... Is 169 base plan BEFORE any options or taxes, and.bb the premium data fee is an option
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:

[Epic 4G General] Kubernetes:
Anyone here file a class action? I actually believe that Brodman guy when he said that they just weren't aware that timely updates are very important to users. Google has introduced a new paradigm with their frequent OS updates, and I don't think the carriers have really considered updates a top priority. One thing is for certain, flood their Facebook pages and Twitter accts. I'm pretty certain that anytime anything regarding any topic is posted anywhere regarding T-Mo, a flood of Vibrant users respond with calls for the Froyo update.

And I guess the best thing is if you can get something written up in one of the big tech media sites. The carrier execs may not be reading XDA, but they sure start running for the mikes when they get a black eye in Engadget or TechCrunch.
[Epic 4G General] mxcoldhit:
Sprint has tweeted that the Epic will get Froyo ASAP, but this isn't new :(. I'm still going to hope that T-mobile will pressure Sprint to roll out Froyo.

ASAP huh? That could be tomorrow or a year from now depending on whenever they feel it's "possible".
[Epic 4G General] crajee16:
If it really is true, based on what the Tmo CMO stated, that the hold up is caused by the carriers needing to add whatever software they think we need. Well, that's just ridiculous. They should just stop messing with apps not everyone wants on their phones and just release Froyo or whatever is in the pipelines. Perhaps we should start a campaign to get manufacturers and carriers to move closer putting stock android on their phones. Just a thought.
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Do it.

[Epic 4G General] fuji6:
You know I bet if they took a survey, frequent updates would win out over shovleware. Although I doubt that will happen, because from most of the surveys I've ever taken the questions disguise shovelware as "Unique functioality". Keep that in mind next time you answer a survey... or if you're in position to create one for the phone companies.

Thanks for the encouragement. We have several spam threads started already though....
[Epic 4G General] nate13jp:
Sorry but I'm sure a lot of people will dismiss tha as wishful thinking. Only way ill belive that the epic is getting froyo is if I get a personal call from dan hesse or the ota update option pops on my fone.

Other than that we have to wait and see

With T-mo announcing a froyo update for the vibrant tomorrow, the 21st and sprint reacting to this via twitter and an official sprint documentation stating it still needs to pass Sprints "rigorous testing" http://www.androidcentral.com/another-sprint-statement-froyo-samsung-epic-4g. Those of you who have custom dk28 roms (as myself), what is the best advice for when the official froyo is released? Should we odin back to 2.1 DI18 soon, or just wait until the update has been released and devs have it for download?
[Epic 4G General] raylusk:
I am going to wait for the devs here.
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
The unicorn said he is downloading it now.
[Epic 4G General] OregonLAN:
Why would you flash back prematurely? Unless you are unhappy with your current ROM, there's no reason to flash back until the official ROM is in the OTA stream and being pushed to the masses. For all we know, it could be another couple months. Hell, even then, I plan on waiting until someone releases a rooted version that I can flash onto my phone without having to mess with OTA updates.

Lets just hope they got rid of those fugly chat bubbles in the messaging application...
[Epic 4G General] niv3d:

On how to add a different keyboard?? I can't seem to get it working.

Thanks.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
What rom are you running? Also, is this a keyboard you've installed but can't seem to select? Some keyboards you have to activate first by going to Settings and under the Language & Keyboard section before it will show up in your Input Methods list of keyboards for you to be able to select it.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Stock with added proformance pack. I installed swiftkey, and tried to select it and it didn't

work. I seen that the file need to be moved and have values changed, which I tried, but

could not get it working.
[G Tablet General] palagai:
until some makes a video, i will give you text ver.

Using a Different Keyboards.

1. You need to install the keyboard you want, from the Market or sideload the apk.

eg. thumb.apk

2. once installed, go to settings->Language & Keyboard, and see if that keyboard needs to be enabled.

- some keyboard needs enabled from the settings.

3. From the browser or search or on any input area, Long press ( press and hold your finger) until it pops-up the option to select input method.

From that list select your keyboard.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
I did that, but it won't let me enable swiftey
[G Tablet General] palagai:
Ok, you din't state your full picture in the initial post. The step i listed is for Market or apk which would install properly.

For you, google is your friend, try 'rothnic swype'
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Not sure what your saying. There is a way to any keyboard, but it seems to enable it, you

need to move the file then change values or something like that.
[G Tablet General] palagai:
rothnic had some hack for swype keyboard, so i thought you you could follow some of his steps for the permissions.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
I will check it out, but if its the same steps then I still need a video on how to do it.

Well I couldn't find those rothnic swype threads. It seems they were deleted.

[G Tablet General] WantADroid:
Try

Try a different Keyboard and see if you can get it to work with the steps given. If you can then maybe try and reinstall the keyboard you want.

Just a thought.
[G Tablet General] Mrhorology:
Tried that also. I tried to install thumb keyboard and got the same result.

I hope maybe someone wont mind maybe making a video that shows how

to do this...
[G Tablet General] RojasTKD:

Download the files from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9532446&postcount=1

1. Put the "Replace_TNT_Settings.zip" in you internal SDcard.

2. rename it "Update.zip"

3. Reboot into CWM recovery and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"

4. once done reboot system

5. Go to settings> language & keyboard

6.enable you keyboards

7. Put the "Rollback_TNT_Settings.zip" in you internal SDcard

8. rename it Update.zip

9. Reboot into CWM recovery and choose "apply sdcard:update.zip"

10. once done reboot system

11. long press on a text entry field and select your keyboard of choice.

I now have the Swiftkey keyboard and thumb keyboard working. Swipe Force closes on me (I'll see if I can get a different Swipe version to work).

Does this phone support flash videos? Is it a software or a hardware based thing (flash support)?

I've got my phone flashed to froyo but I find flash videos not working. Is it really about our phones hardware not supporting flash?

flash doesnt support our hardware

Right. So Samsung needs to make it support it. Thanks

I think you can install flash application for using them at your phone (just basic flash animations, for games you will miss hardware buttons)

and if you want to watch a video at the www page you can use SkyFire Browser witch converts flash to html5 - it's just a workaround, not 100% suplement
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I posted directly to the main Miren Browser thread, but as this applies specifically to the FreeX10 ROM, I figured it'd be good to post about here as well.

After installing the FreeX10 (Beta 2) ROM last night, I was getting constant FCs of the following apps after starting to restore some of my main apps (everything was working fine until then):

- Settings

- Google Search

- Search

- Market

- android.process.acore

- process.com.google.process.gapps

I re-installed the ROM from xRecovery and tried again. Same as before. Things were working OK until after I restored a selection of app from Titanium Backup, and then constant FCs of the above apps, beginning as soon as the system booted.

Today I once again re-installed the ROM, but this time have been clean installing apps from the market a few at a time. I seem to have traced the problem to Miren Browser, as as soon as it was installed the FCs started, and didn't go away until I uninstalled it and rebooted.

Has anyone else noticed a similar issue?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Quasicoto:
What rom version did you use before?

Have you tried installing miren browser from the market or with the apk file? How did that work out.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I was using the original Nordic 2.1 firmware (build 2.0.A.0.504) prior to upgrading to to FreeX10 2.2.1 Beta 2.

As for Miren, I tried re-installing it from my Titanium Backup, as well as installing it from the market. Same effect both times.

It's the only one of the 150 or so app I have installed that gave me such troubles. Everything else ran stable.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ndavidetnt:
Hi guys!

I have a couple of simple question, both related to performance of our desire:

1 - a2sd vs data2ext: which is better for performance and speed? As far as I understood the data2ext gives us more free space: it's great but I don't need it. Am I right? Or I'm wrong and the data2ext improves the overall speed of the rom?

2 - in both cases (a2sd and data2ext) what is the best filesystem for the extended partition(s) on sd? As above, no matter higher probability of data loss, just want highest speed.

Thanks, I hope these questions will help someone else too.

They're okay. Most GB roms, however, are not focused on battery and rather on the GB experience. They aren't bad, but some ROMs are made with battery life in mind and it really shines.

I just bought a used TMO Tab on eBay ($469 USD). >$100 more than a new one from TMO, and I get to skip the $40/month data plan. Figure I can activate it with the SIM from my Vibrant then just use the Mobile AP on my phone to provide connectivity when I don't have wifi. Or maybe buy a pre-paid SIM.

There are plenty of unlocked Tabs or CDMA Tabs with bad ESIN's on eBay, if you're game for that. I figure I can probably get most of my $$ back on the Tab when I want to go for a G Slate or such. Just couldn't wait any longer. God help me, I bought another Samsung product...
