hello xda. here's a new app i whipped up this afternoon. sometimes i'll be viewing a web page in a browser, and i decide i want to open it in a different browser. maybe the page looks funny in this browser, or it has video in it, and i want to use skyfire to watch it. how do you open a page you're already viewing in another browser? well, you could copy and paste the url, but that's more work than it should be.

now you can use Choose Browser. if you "share" a page or link from any app, you can select Choose Browser, then you will be presented with a list of installed browsers. see the screenshot. you can share a link from one browser to another. you can share a link from, say, your RSS reader, and choose which browser to open it in. you get the idea. it's nothing fancy, but it saves you a few steps.

the app should work on any version of android. it's free, with no ads. please test it and post feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] sageDieu:
Great idea, works fine for me.
[Android Apps and Games] Ben74:
thanks, sageDieu.

Choose Browser is now available in the Android Market!

Hi all,

My company just launched an online movement to spread goodwill, called the Warm&Fuzzy Federation. Because we want to prove that goodwill is contagious, we’ve made it our goal to send 100,000 Warm&Fuzzies out into the world by the Chinese New Year. Why is it so important we reach this goal? It means a local Children’s Miracle Network Hospital will receive a $10,000 donation from us, which will help them provide first-class care to kids who need it.

Here's a list of some simple ways you can start making your kindness count for our cause:

• Declare Warm&Fuzzies at www.WarmandFuzzyFederation.com or Tweet them using the hashtag #warmandfuzzy. You can also participate through our Facebook app. <http://www.facebook.com/WarmandFuzzyFederation>

• ReTweet and Facebook Like other peoples' Warm&Fuzzies. Celebrating the kindness of others count as Warm&Fuzzies, too!

• Spread the word to your friends, family and colleagues.

Please help us reach our goal by spreading the word about the kind deeds you're doing already! This is totally free, you don't need to install anything on your computer, etc.

Thank you!

[Captivate General] mindfrost82:
I have the At&t Captivate, but it looks like this is an issue that could stretch across all Galaxy S phones. A quick Google search will bring up quite a few posts/threads on Samsung's Facebook page about it too.

I use the built-in SNS sync for Facebook, which is what Samsung uses under the default Android Account settings.

I've flashed a few ROMs, and at some point (I think it was after trying some of the I9000 ROMs), my Facebook wouldn't sync my contacts anymore. I get the message "sync is currently experiencing problems. try again later".

The things I've tried:

-Flash back to stock & other ROMs

-Clear all cache data in CWM

-Delete SNS Account data under Application Settings

-Delete Samsung Mobile from my applications on Facebook

-Changing my Facebook password

-Tried logging in with someone else's Facebook account, same error with their's

The Android Facebook app loads up fine, but with Samsung, it doesn't sync contacts, it forces you to use SNS for that.

Under Contacts, if I go to the Activity tab, I can see the news feed, but it still errors out and won't pull any contacts over.

Any other suggestions?
[Captivate General] designgears:
Facebook changed how it does authentication, guessing samsung hasnt updated to handle that yet.
[Captivate General] newter55:
Odd that mine works fine. Only time I have seen problems is if I don't log into google account first after flashing. Just flashed to andromeda and everything synced fine.
[Captivate General] mchimney:
After you've signed into facebook (settings->accounts) try going into the contact app itself and press the menu button.

2 options might work.

1. "sync sns data"

2. "get friends"

Hope this helps
[Captivate General] mindfrost82:
I had Google setup since its required for the Market, but I didn't sync anything with it (I use Exchange), so just to try it, I checked for it to sync contacts and tried again and still got the error.

I've tried that too, and it just seems to initiate the same SNS Sync and errors out.

I'm not sure about that since some people seem to have no problems with it. I also tried someone else's Facebook account just to make sure it wasn't a setting in mine, and her's didn't work either.
[Nook Color General] Ign3nt:
I have rooted my Nook color using the autonooter program and I am having a HUGE issue.

The Nook color will power up, but when it does it just freezes on the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen. If I have the SD card in it wont boot at all.

But when I plug it up to my PC or to the wall charger it will power up, but freeze at the "Touch the Future of Reading" screen, while if I have the SD card in, it will freeze at the "n" logo screen, after the "this product contains abobe reader systems" pops up.

I am pretty sure I've bricked it and I dont want anyone elses' Nook color ending up like mine.

If you know of anything I can do then please, PLEASE tell me!!!! :(
[Nook Color General] spiicytuna:
Personally, I would run the stock release from B&N to revert back to 100% stock, and then try rerooting. The first time I rooted I ran into some issues and this was what I did to get it working right.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] TheATHEiST:
No the only reason you needed to JB was to run "unsigned code", Now the PS3 master root key has been discovered you dont need to run unsigned code anymore as it can be signed.

You can also now install a custom firmware without any need for JB as you can just update your firmware to a custom signed one which has had signing restrictions removed so will boot all homebrew etc.

Thread should probably be moved to Android Development since this is a DJ_Steve issue
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
EDIT: As jellete stated in a post below this is ONLY for the Samsung Vibrant running Froyo! (JL5 or higher)

Hi. This is the bootloader (sbl.bin) update from KA6. I find it safer to flash a bootloader alone. This is untested. This *should* be compatible with JL5 and upwards. Be aware, if something goes wrong it won't be fixable with Odin nor Heimdall. I am NOT responsible for anything that happens, this is untested, as I mentioned earlier. There is always a small chance of bricks, especially when writing to/replacing the secondary bootloader.

How-To Flash:

You MUST use the stock Recovery! 2e or 3e! Nero users, I believe your recovery is by default, replaced with Clockworkmod, so you cannot flash this. Don't even attempt it.

1. Place it as "update.zip" on the root of your INTERNAL sd card.

2. Reboot into Recovery. (Via 3-button combo or other option, such as adb)

3. Scroll down to "Reinstall Packages", use the power button to select this.

4. Wait for it to flash and pray that it works.

5. If your device powers on, it succeeded, if it refuses to power on, your hardbricked and must get a new phone or a replacement.

I'll say it one more time: If this fails it will hardbrick your phone, beyond repair.

What is different about it?
[Vibrant Android Development] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
Why would we want to flash this.. What would be the benefit.. Curious to know
[Vibrant Android Development] s15274n:
Yeah, I fail to see what the benefit is...

This seems like a REALLY bad idea.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Talk about giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves with...
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
Youch! This is really putting yourself out there!

If it were me, I would package it as a cwm flash WITH a check at the beginng of the script to ensure that it will only flash on 959's AND over Froyo builds.
[Vibrant Android Development] bobbbb:
Do work, son, go for the gold!
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
When asked by the newest EDT Dev yesterday what restrictions we had about releases, I answered that there is only one of the rules that there is no exception to:

We will not allow the "Einherjar" moniker to be attached to any release that containes a boot.bin or an sbl.bin.

True story.
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
You are correct. There is no benefit that we have seen so far. All the warning are so moons do not flash this, it is meant for experimentation by revs, not by the average user.
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
@jellette

I would do this, but people should be smart enough to understand this is only for froyo and the vibrant, if someone flashes on say, a Captivate, then they're bricked and they learned a lesson. Just my point of view.
[Vibrant Android Development] smackdown85146:
Will this give us *gasp* fastboot? /curious
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Chances of this are minimal, though "fastboot" is an example of an SBL (secondary bootloader) for HTC phones.
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
Ide rather take a Tyson punch to the jaw!! But thanks for sharing.
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
no.............
[Vibrant Android Development] BuLLeT_PrOOf_wAlleTz:
Ok I just flashed and I can confirm that it successfully transformed my phone into vibrant 4g

:-)
[Vibrant Android Development] traicer:
Is there no way to revert yo the old sbl ?
[Vibrant Android Development] shovelhead83:
Huh?
[Vibrant Android Development] daddysays:
After flashing this everything online was free. All flights on all sites. 15 asian women showed up at my door wanting an orgy. Best bootloader ever!

Seriously though, don't flash this, wait for the genius devs on here to figure out what the possible benefits are and it to be implemented into voodoo or some custom rom. You never know if samsung released us something vicious on purpose to shut us up about the new vibrant, or make us buy the new one???
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
If someone posts the original Sbl, then yes, you should be able to flash back...
[Vibrant Android Development] sualpine:
You do this to be able to use Heimdall on a Mac
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Don't have a Mac, it didn't work with Heimdall before? I thought that Heimdall 1.1.1 added Mac access before this Sbl was ever released.
[Vibrant Android Development] sualpine:
"Samsung have released an updated secondary bootloader that corrects the issue. The correct bootloader is included in the official Froyo release. Obviously you have to get Froyo on your device somehow, but from then on it’s smooth sailing.

Note: Keep in mind if the version of Froyo you’re running is not official then the updated Sbl.bin may not have been included."
[Vibrant Android Development] traicer:
eugenes jk2 leak tar file contains an sbl image, is there a way to extract it so people can flash back to the old sbl?

[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Yea, extract it and tar czf sbl.tar Sbl.bin after you extract and flash it with Odin or flash the file directly with Heimdall..
[Vibrant Android Development] traicer:
how would one go about making the sbl.bin into a tar file for odin?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
Read my friend... ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] bleufox99:
Ah be nice maybe he's not familiar with bash or linux, you can use the red highlighted text above to create a .tar archive file in a linux terminal. never tried it using windows.
[Vibrant Android Development] traicer:
thats correct, not a linux user, had to google that one out, any windows program out there that makes tar files?
[Vibrant Android Development] dasunsrule32:
7zip. works well. ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
If I was rich I would've flashed this

Then bought another until I buy one that can overclock
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
Apologies for calling you out, but fastboot is actually a google creation. (the Nexus S has fastboot)
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
No. This doesn't do that at all.
[Vibrant Android Development] NikolaiT:
I second this, this was meant for devs not the average user.
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
just great... $&%ing br!cked!

Someone could have said that this wasnt for the dash.

EDIT: I kid, I kid. Have devs seen any improvement in boot or stability?
[Vibrant Android Development] krylon360:
I flashed it when I found the leak. So far nothing has gone wrong...well..take that back...

Going from Nero v5, to NinjaBread, back to v5, it bricked. E:\Cant Mount error so had to perform a major ODIN surgery on it. But this was probably a mistake on my part.

I'll have to dissect the 2 SBL's. My guess. the phones that where HW locked, they had a bad SBL, so they pushed the working SBL in JI6 to all phones for Eclair. This one is probably for Froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] donalgodon:
Can someone please explain what makes this sbl such a big deal? What is the potential greatness?
[Vibrant Android Development] guruchimi:
I don't get it. I am an average user and I can pull out the "sbl.bin" file out myself. If I can do that, I have no reason to believe that the devs cannot do that for themselves.
[Vibrant Android Development] anomalous3:
Fastboot may be a google creation, but it IS a secondary bootloader after all. Interesting about the nexus s though, I didn't know that.

[Vibrant Android Development] ssiddiqi1:
Yeah, I flashed it on Moto Razr ;-)
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
I'm prepping to flash it. I'll report back tomorrow when I'm in front of a mac.
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
Just speculation... but those who have "kies'd" the "official" froyo update... have had difficulty getting into modded recovery. They can root, but not boot into clockwork. Is it possible that new binary locks down recovery???
[Vibrant Android Development] gehzumteufel:
Can't get into clockwork because the newest updates are replacing the 2e recovery with the 3e. Which it *****es about a signature verification issue when attempting to get into clockwork.
[Vibrant Android Development] Poser:
OK. That blows... gotta flash the kernel via ODIN then.

I know a lot of users have and use Tasker religiously to setup different profiles and make different things happen for different locations.

So this is my issue. I get great 3G+ signal when I'm outside of my community college. The story is a little different in school though. I get really crappy (if any) 3G while I'm indoors. For example I have 1-2 bars at this moment in time.

Basically what I want to know, is their a way to set up Tasker to turn off 3G while I'm on campus and stick to EDGE and when I leave turn 3G back on?

If so, how would I go about setting that up?

Root your phone and flash CM7
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] dfullerman:
This is asn app that works really well and does not need you to have a rooted phone...about as close as you can get without rooting. Used it for a while with my Nexus s until the nightlies starting running. Not quite as good as CM7 but a really good alternative!

'Power Control Plus' on AppBrain: http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.siriusapplications.eclairwidgets
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] theimpaler:
I prefer to use Quick Settings, search for it on appbrain (I can't post links as newish account, but long time android user)

I like it because it can be configured to look like a dialogue box on top of the app that is currently open (menu -> preferences -> appearance -> Dialog). Also you can hide the notification bar icon so it doesn't clutter the bar up (menu -> preferences -> Status bar shortcut -> Add & hide icon).

I prefer it over Power Control Plus because its free, and you can access it anywhere, and not just from the home screen. for custom Power widgets i also prefer Widgestsoid 2.X (again search on appbrain for same reasons)

but that requires more set up to make a "power" widget.

Hope you like more choices! :)

Hello all,

I'm kind of a newbie, but able to follow step-by-step instructions. :)

I've tried two different methods of rooting my phone, the password method (android.modaco.com/content/lg-gt540-optimus-gt540-modaco-com/310737/how-to-root-your-lg-gt540) and using Z4 Root. I assumed the first one had worked, but somehow not. When I tried with Z4, it installed Super User and gave me the option to "un-root", but testing it in adb and terminal emulator inevitably ended with a "failed to link su CANNOT LINK EXECUTABLE" message. Apps like Titanium Backup won't work either. I tried factory reset, and when I restarted it Super User was still there, but when I opened it, it gave a message saying that there was a new su update. I okayed it to install but it failed and said it was placed on the SD card. Super User instructed me to reboot in recovery mode and install it from there, but I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Anyone know where I went wrong, or have a foolproof method of actually getting my phone rooted? Thanks so much!
