To play smooth with these games, you need overclock and a custom ROM. Currently some of us are working to install OpenGL libraries in our WF, wich are supposed to make the phone faster and more responsive, expecially with games BUT - you really need root and then a custom ROM first! So, if you already updated to official Froyo you won't be able to root... at the moment. Yeah, in theory it could be possible, but there are some risks to brick your phone. Personally, I would not risk ;)

Oh, and welcome to xda :)
[Wildfire Android Development] subersauger:
Okay I am surprised about how fast I get an answer here at this forum, respect.

And I'm glad about it :D

I asked in different german forums about it and get no reply... :(

Back to the topic,

I not bought my phone to play games, but it would be nice in boring times to have nice game with me, without carry my psp all the time with me :D:D

It's so frustrating with the new OS, it's like psp, I first upgraded and than i had to wait half a year to downgrade her xD

Hopefully it will be not the same by my wildfire ;)

And don't think that I downgrade my phone, cause downgrading my psp were the most terrible 10 minutes in my life xD :D:D

But mayby there is nearly a method to install a custom ROM without downgrading.

Or a safe downgrade way.
[Wildfire Android Development] 3xeno:
Downgrade doesnt work yet. You can get rid of the 2.2.1 Update and get back to 2.1, but, there are two negatives to this:

* It's a potentially risky process that can brick your wildfire

* Even if it is successful, the HBOOT remains updated to the newer version, so, rooting still wont work, even though you are at Android 2.1

So, I would suggest waiting for an update from Unrevoked.
[Wildfire Android Development] subersauger:
Hmm Damn, it's alltime the same, you're wishing for an update and than if have it you wish to get a custom Software which is working a thausend times better. But you can't get it.

Whatever, thanks for the fast reply's and good answers.

I'll waiting for some good news. ;)
[Wildfire Android Development] hector28:
Someone's working on OpenGL? Sorry but I'm noob. So openGL is something that you can just install?
[Wildfire Android Development] Dr_Death:
wildpuzzle CFW very good to have you can overclock your cpu and have better performance, but not that much as galaxy S and desir

go to market and search for "Emulator ROMs" lot of old games "NES, SNES, GBR, PSX, MD"

old school is cool :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roydecampana:
Hello everyone.

I am pretty sure I am the 100th one to ask this, but after seeking on the forum for a long time and tried everything I swear, I wasn't able to root my Galaxy S GT-I9000.

As I said it is a GT-I9000 (I9000BUJP5?) with firmware 2.2, Compilation FROYO.BUJP2

My intention is to patch the phone and quit that lag issue to gain a little speed, so it needs to be rooted first.

Everytime I tried to do whatever is shown in this forum or in any simmilar or internet tutorial I get the 'E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted.'

Somebody to show me the way? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 General] fulcrum1971:
Have you tried z4root?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gtg2:
I find z4root easier to use but it doesn't with all firmwares. Try superoneclick.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] roydecampana:
Z4root did it. Thank you very much fine gentlemen. It seems they do have updated the Z4root and works perfectly on my version.

Again thanks.

Hello I just started flashing roms from my phone with astro manager and everytime I download a new rom it doesn't flash the entire rom. It flashes part of it and leaves half if the other roms on my phone. Its not that they are the same because if see all of them before and now they look different and don't have all the cool stuff
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Not really sure how you're flashing ROM's with Astro?

Go to the Dev section and read through the guides. You should be using ClockworkMod Recovery to flash. Install Clockwork, reboot into recovery, wipe data, flash your Rom.zip, enjoy.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Where to begin?

I told you astro allows you to download roms to your phone directly, not actually flash a rom.

You should take a step back, I think it would be in your best interest to read more, ask more questions, and understand what you are trying before you try it.

You recovered from one soft brick, but that was only with step by step instructions. Knowledge will help prevent that from happening again
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
Yes guys I'm sorry, I meant I'm using astro but I'm flashing like im supposed to. The reason I asked the question was to find out how delete all my data work deleting important stuff. In recovery mode, I see delete cache data and delete user data (or something like that) and I didn't want to screw it up, bit i also want all of the rom, which I'm not getting. Please just tell me how and ill read the dev stuff asap

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
but that still didnt answer the question that was asked.

what do you think you are missing? apps? thats by design, you need to restore them with titanium backup.

stock bloat? by design

what specifically do you think you are missing on these roms?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:
I realize its a stupid answer but I don't really exactly know. The only thing I know is that I had a very long list of apps FROM THE ROM and now I dont. Maybe its just me but has anyone seen anything like this? If not then so be it, close the thread and ill deal with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
So to summarize you are upset you are missing apps that you can't remember what they were. How important could they on been?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
now you have me confused. what rom? what apps do you think are supposed to be installed? are you just basing this off screenshots of someones setup?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dupontrocks11:

Haven't experienced this problem for years, but since updating to the HTC Vodafone 3.14 ROM a couple of weeks back, I get PC speaker interference from my phone.

It's driving me crazy......

So before I revert back to an earlier ROM version, or throw the phone out of the window, anyone any hints on how to cure this?

And any ideas why this would start happening??

For those who don't follow @GalaxySsupport (official Samsung) on Twitter, they just tweeted the following:

My response was great, but when's the reboot during a call bug fix coming... ;)
[Nexus S General] Cowie:
Not soon enough!

If I think that a call is likely to last a few minutes I pre-warn the caller that my phone might cut out. One of my contacts said that I ought to get an Android phone (he's apparently got a Desire) FFS!!!!!!!

Heres the news in written:

http://phandroid.com/2011/01/20/samsung-nexus-s-ota-coming-to-fix-sms-bug/
[Nexus S General] deeren:
what puzzles me is that why is the samsung support releasing this news? aren't we getting all nexus ota's from google?
[Nexus S General] MENDEH:
I'm confused why Samsung is the one announcing this.

Edit: lol seems I am not the only one
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
It's still a Samsung product, and despite people who populate this forum thinking of it as a Google phone, there are surely plenty of consumers who have purchased the phone at Best Buys just because it's heavily promoted there (at least at all 3 of the Best Buys near me) and is a really neat looking phone.

Samsung gets the black eye for bugs in the minds of those customers, and so they have an interest in this, even though it comes from Google.

If you check out the other tweets from the account I quoted, they do say the update comes from Google, not them, so they don't have a change log to share.
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
Seems Google is really taking a "hands-off" approach to the Nexus line.

Such a shame.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Samsung makes an announcement, and suddenly it means Google is taking a "hands-off" approach?

I don't make the same connection quite so easily; but I'm an optimist. ;)
[Nexus S General] diversificationied:
Well it appears they are letting samsung deal with customer service, as opposed to dealing with it in house (like the N1 initially). Although they did shift CS off to HTC sometime in may of last year.

Google is basically acting as a hands off broker at this point.

My assumption(and hope) though is that they are just using Samsung as a gateway for direct customer interaction, and not for actual software development. *crosses fingers*.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Google's never been good at customer service in that regard, with any product. Plus, unlike the Nexus One, Google never had anything to do with this phone's retail sales to the public.

If you read the rest of the twitter traffic on the @galaxySsupport account, there are numerous tweets that state the software is coming from Google, that Samsung doesn't even have change log knowledge, and that Google doesn't have to deal with carriers on this, and that Samsung isn't aware of what other fixes Google is working on.

Seems like Samsung's just the public voice in that light.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
In semi-related news, the Vibrant will finally get 2.2. Roll outs start tomorrow. I think the most interesting thing to note in this report though is that Tmobile will be more strict about updating software.

Moving forward, T-Mobile will update all Android phones to new versions of the Android OS within 3-5 months after Google makes the new OS public. Smartphone users expecting frequent upgrades is “new to us”, Brodman said, “and we’re going to have to step up and change the way we do things.”

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/01/samsung-vibrant-froyo-update-coming-january-21st-tomorrow/

3-5 month is only a slight improvement, but does it change anybody's mind about the value of the Nexus line? Does it make not getting immediate updates slightly more tolerable?

What's also curious to me is, when exactly is the Nexus One going to get 2.3? The "coming weeks" has turned into a month now. Is this an indication for Nexus S owners at the end of 2011 or early 2012 when the next Nexus phone is released with the latest Android?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I don't think Tmobile's stance diminishes the value of the Nexus line at all and here is why: the point of the Nexus line has been to serve as a "developer phone." Its pure Android without bloat of any kind and that is why I love it. Any other phone on Tmo is going to have bloat and be laden with UIs and whatnot and some people like that. This just means that more people can get what they want with Android and stay up-to-date on software. I think its a great move on Tmo's part and I think it shows a lot of guts to hold manufacturers to that kind of a schedule. The true test will be to see how well it holds up in the real world.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Show me a credible link from Google that says the Nexus S is a "developer phone". Please. :confused:
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I was stating an opinion? I didn't realize I had to quote sources for my opinions.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
No, you don't have to quote sources for opinion, but you seemed to be stating that "the point of the Nexus line has been to serve as a "developer phone." " was a fact to support your opinion. Since I thought you were stating it as a fact, I would like to have seen something that supports that.

We've discussed that in some other thread here as well.

Plenty of people claim the Nexus S, and the Nexus "line" are intended as developer phones and throw it around as justification for buggy software and to dismiss complaints about the phone.

There's nothing I've seen from Google that says the Nexus S is a "developer phone", and someone linked an official list of developer phones, and the NS wasn't on it, and the N1 wasn't even on it until AFTER they pulled it from the Google Phone Store for sale to the public.

Not attacking you at all, just looking for clarification.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
I'm sorry for the confusion then. All of my statements were conjecture and the reason I called it a "developer phone" and not a developer phone is that in spirit it seems to be something aimed more towards developers as this quote directly from the android developers blog imples:

The author of this article is an engineer on the Android Security team and he makes it quite clear that the point of the Nexus S and the Nexus One before it was to allow people to design software for their devices. When the term "developer phone" is thrown around generally, however, it usually means something other than how I use it; its a catch-all for, as you said, software bugs and any other OS issues which is not how I see a "developer phone". I see it as a phone that is designed to be hacked. And in that sense, it really is a "developer phone".
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Excellent, and I agree!

Thanks.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Quoted for the truth. This could not be more accurate.

I like my Nexus S, but I've been a huge critic of Gingerbread, and to a lesser extent, of the "pure" stock/vanilla Android experience. It could stand to be improved a lot and is sorely in need of bug fixes/updates. Having said that, I would never argue on for the side of OEM skins either. I'm just saying, vanilla Android has its own share of problems.

Side note: you know what's one thing that bothers me, purely for lack of intuitiveness? Sometimes when you open a field that requires typing, the keyboard doesn't show up. It requires you to tap the empty field for the keyboard to come up. Or other times, if the keyboard does show up, the cursor will be at the beginning of the word as oppose to at the end, or as oppose to having the entire word you want to replace/edit highlighted. These unnecessary "extra steps" don't hinder the phone useless, of course, but just a nuisance that shouldn't exist on a "smart" phone.

/end side note.
[Nexus S General] Anderdroid:
Isn't every Android phone a developer phone? I'm a developer and I own more than 6 of them just for compatibility.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
The main difference is how easy the nexus s is to make open to roms. Most other devices require exploits to unlock the nand and bootloader whereas the nexus requires a single adb command.

OTA 2.3.2

Is there a way, to get downloaded OTA update from the phone?

This morning, when I switch my SNS on, I've seen that there is update already downloaded and waiting to install.

I didn't think too much. Just clicked on it. That was mistake. I have rooted phone (superboot by paulobrien [kudos to paul!]) so when update restarted phone nothing really happen apart of that update is not available any longer :(

I don't remember details about this update, but I think it was version 2.3.2, size a little bit over 600kb (601, 621, 610 - don't remember this neither - remember only that it was 6 on the first and 1 on second or third place).

Well, what do you think? Could that be this update with "sms fix" ?

Is there somewhere a log of downloaded updates?
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
Generally the only way to pull a downloaded update is to download it and then not install it. Once installed (at least on other phones) it is deleted. The other question is was this a brand new phone? Did you get an OTA after first getting the phone (this would have been the OTA to Android 2.3.1).
[Nexus S General] remick.no:
OK - clear now. Thanks for explanation.

No, my nexus is not brand new. Have it from Xmas. Just day after purchase I have first OTA (to 2.3.1). And today I've seen another one (I believe it was 2.3.2).
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
It's here!

Samsung confirms on Twitter that the 2.3.2 update some are receiving is the SMS bug fix.

the kernel is working on our phone's coz android is booting without any problems at boot or after boot check the logcat you'll see

but there is no multitouch support in the kernel for mini and mini pro

iv'e just checked the kernel and its only supporting big x10 on kernel level

i think we need to rewrite the drivers and force the kernel to use our driver

but that is a really hard job to do

And the mini who have not, do what? :confused: LoL
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] maikonbona:
As far as I know, the screen of the mini and mini pro is exactly the same.

The mini supports up to 4 points of multi-touch.

I may be talking nonsense, but I think your information is wrong. Well I passed that information was a person of broad knowledge in the area.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] vlissine:
Don´t you see the difference between screen and digitizer chip? Understand it first and then claim that someone´s information is wrong. Mini and Mini pro might look the same from the outside, but lots of hardware is different in fact.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] owain94:
that is not true

to explain look at the sense rom from mikevhl

the pre alpha when you booted it on the mini touch screen did work

when you flashed it on a mini pro the touch didn't

this means that the driver did work on mini but not pro so the digitizer is different

the digitizer is the part of the screen that make touch work

.hex files are binary files coverted to hexadecimal this is because internet is not always good 8-bit and binary files will be getting corrupted hexadecimal will not get corrupted why i dont know hehe :p

(dont exactly know if my story is telling the truth but that is what i know about .hex files)

im looking in the drivers right now but i don't really understand all so i need to figure out what all standing for and then find a way to include multitouch instead of single touch i hope i will succeed but don't get to excited coz i don't think i will
