Any thing samsung says at this point does not mater to me. They have taken to long to get froyo out and lead us on to beleave that the sgs's would be updated! 4,000,000 phones sold in the U.S. and they can't take 50 cents from every one sold to pay and hire some software devs that can GET IT DONE? I don't undestand how company's like samsung can do this crap when there is stuff like xbmc and all the grate devs on xda that do it for free and the fun of making software.

Agreed. After this, I'm done with samsung.

ffs... I just pulled an eye muscle.

The SGS WILL be updated for Christ's sakes. You want it now, or when it's working? I'll take working.

And you forget the devs here don't have to worry about tying in any customizations/bloat required by the carriers.

To you're eyes Sorry if my grammar and punctunation was not up to par. I guess when iam pissed on the interweb I just don't care about speeling and stuff lol no but realy my bad if it was that hard to read ;-)

But back to the topic at hand

As for when its working or a samsung beta. I ran win7 beta from the frist day and I reported bugs, bugs that got fixed (yes I no not just because of me) but that's the point M$ of all company's had a beta a FREE ONE! And samy is full of it. Its now 2011. My Bday is in March and I don't not beleave we will see it by then! I just dont. Xmas came and past but no 2.2 New Years. I was patient until the clock fliped over to 2011 that's 9 MONTHS after samy first said the sgs would have a 2.2 upgrade.

On a side note maybe samsung is just to bisy making autogun turits to fend of then crazy ass North North Comys bastards? Look it up they do make weapons. (Think Comgo the movie kinda)

So when Samsung talks about the Galaxy S, you know they are talking about the I9000, which already has 2.2, right?

When they specifically mention the Galaxy S lineup, that refers to all the variants...

[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I need help from you genius developers. I'm 99% done porting a rom over to release it here. I'm having issues with changing Phone.apk. I did the following:

1) Decompiled Phone.apk with apktool

2) Modified the manifest to add the permission I needed to add

3) Compiled it with apktool

4) Used 7zip to put my new manifest into the original apk

5) Used 7zip to put my new apk into the rom's zip

6) Flashed it and immediately after boot, got FC's on com.android.phone because it says the signature doesn't match the previously installed version and it will be ignored.

I found that if I place my modified Phone.apk on the sdcard, install the cpts binary (copies and retains the destination timestamp) in /system/xbin and set perms, I can do this:

adb remount
adb shell
# cpts /sdcard/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk

I'll get this output and it'll work fine:

cpts /sdcard/Phone.apk /system/app/Phone.apk
Original ts:1290546488
Allocated 8388608 bytes.

But if I try to pull it from the phone, stick it back in the rom zip, it won't work when flashed clean.

I've beaten my head against the wall with this and any help will be appreciated.

TIA!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Pons:
I think this needs to go in Q/A, since it's a question.

J/k. Have you tried Apk Manager 4.9? I've used it to mess with system apk's and data apk's, and it has options for both, which it handles differently.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
LOL! :) I tried Apk Manager first and it wouldn't even decompile it without giving me errors. :(

I'll add some screenshots of what I've got so far. Maybe it will motivate someone to help! :D
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gmichaelow:
Signatures aren't matching with what was previously installed.

Basically what you're doing is this:

Stock-Phone.apk has signature=1. (for example)

Your-Phone.apk has signature=2.

When you "hot-swap" them, it goes something like this:

Android: Hey, Stock-Phone.apk, what's your signature?

Stock-Phone.apk: It's numba 1, like me!

Android: Cool cool, *writes down. Go ahead and run!

*hot-swap here

Android: Hey, Your-Phone.apk! *looks at paper, ah, I have it written down! Your signature is 1, go ahead.

Your-Phone.apk: Hee hee!​

Your-Phone.apk will use the cached signature to pretend like its signature=1.

However, putting it in a zip and flashing clean will not allow Android to cache any signatures. So Your-Phone.apk will read signature=2, and fail.

It'll go something like this:

Android: Hey, Your-Phone.apk, what's your signature?

Your-Phone.apk: 2!

Android: Sorry man, we only allow 1s in here, no execution for you!

Your-Phone.apk: FC FC FC FC FC!​

I could never solve this problem without a two-zip flash and a full boot in-between, but some other devs might've managed to solve it.

PS I hope you enjoyed that analogy! xD
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I DID enjoy the analogy! :) Thanks G! That makes perfect sense. I tried signing it myself with testsign.jar and it still didn't match the original. I may have to try the two-zip flash method.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wes342:
have you tried playing with the one that inc does ported over?

the only thing that didnt work was wifi. if i remember correctly.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Thanks for the reply Wes. Yes, I tried using his Phone.apk file and it was missing the same permission. His port had more issues, like not being able to hang the phone up. So far, this is the last thing not working in my port.

:( Without this permission, when u get an incoming call, while the screen is off, the phone can't unlock the screen.

EDIT: And reading internal memory isn't working, but I'm not worried about that yet. It's 5:50am and time to go to work for me. I think I just needed some sleep as I spent too many hours on this last night. Today's a NEW day!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Gahh Its Lee:
That's a pretty nice looking rom. Yea I gave you a bump because I like the lock screen.

I'm not ever sure if it is called a build?

Can some one help me?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vietnamazing:
Hi guys, I know that most gameloft games were designed for higher res devices. But I was wondering if you guys know of any that are playable on the slide? I can attest to Oregon Trail and NOVA being playable on the slide, and have tried to play Hero of Sparta and that COD knockoff game, but couldnt click on any of the buttons on the menu due to resolution incompatabilities.

Has anyone tested any other gameloft games on their slides and can give me their results?

.45% of battery per minute of voice calls.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
So why is it showing that your phone is awake (guessing) 80% of the time? You might want to look at the Partial Wake Lock information to see what's keeping it awake.

Otherwise, 12 hours or so on a charge if you're using it for syncing email, im, and/or social media stuff and actually using the phone is pretty reasonable.

I get about 14 hours out of mine on a typical workday if I'm busy and don't play with it much. K9 Mail has idle IMAP going all day, syncing Google cal, 3g, two weather apps updating (Beautiful and Weather Bug, I like both :( ) etc.. If I use it NONE, like super busy at work, it'll go all day and I just charge it before bed time, so around 15-16 hours.

Using Enom, per my signature.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disgustip8ted:
thats not too bad for medium usage. i get a lot of time under awake like your screenshots show, sometimes more. I tried to narrow down what was keeping it awake but cant figure it out. the highest thing listed under partial wake locks is typically android system. I am thinking it is either exchange or trillian, but i think last time i tested removing all of my accounts it didnt make a difference.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
seems pretty good to me. one thing to look at is amount of time the screen was on, since that is always the biggest power draw. i usually make it 8 hours on a charge, with, say, 3.5 hours of screen on time. that's the most important thing to look at.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eallan:
I have no idea why it's awake all the time. This is strictly Gmail sync and i guess facebook (I'm not a heavy user at all).

3G and beautiful weather are on, but BW only updates every 2 hours.

It's just a shame that the battery life is so much worse than my iPhone 4 (Doing the same things). Not trying to start problems, i'm obviously using this one :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wupuck:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absolutechaos92:
So I flashed my Captivate with Serpendity or whatever, and my sim card didn't work. I flashed cognition, and I even flashed stock. I tried master clear and everything.

My sim still isnt working.

Im not just understanding whats going on. I hope its the sim card, but it was working before I did this, and it wasnt in the whole time.

I followed the directions and and search the forums, and Im not getting any help as to why this might have occured.

Please, whats the use of a phone if I can't communicate with people.

I would really appreciate it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x3nhydr4lutr1sx:
what you should have done, instead of flashing around after serendipity, is:

1. unplug phone from computer

2. reboot

and if it still doesn't work, post on the serendipity thread.

hope that helps, and keep me updated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
When the phone is powered on, go to Settings, About Phone. Do you see a kernel version listed, are there any blanks? Also, try going to your dialer and dial *#1234# After you press the last # sign it should take you to an info menu. See if you have any blank areas.

I've had this happen in the past and for some reason I had a bad kernel or modem flash. Either way my sim wasn't seen.

My fix was to go to the samfirmware.com site and picked up a stock ROM like JF6. These version use Odin but they are not 1-click. So you download the ROM, 512 Pit, and regular Odin. When you unpack the ROM you will have the CSC, Modem, and Phone files. Try flashing that way. Setup is the same as one-click, but in odin you actually have to specify the files you are flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absolutechaos92:
I want back to stock. That didnt help. But thanks. At&t rushed delivered me a new Sim card in one day. No worries. But I flashed Serendipity or whatever to have 2.2 and now I have 2.2 :) and a working sim card.

Yes !

I help this don't happen again.

Im on serendipity. 3.5 or something.

Please help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silvertag:
Have you checked our APN ?? You seem to have flashed alot lately so my guess is your final rom as not installed your provider APN and you must add them manually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absolutechaos92:
It wasn't the Rom fault. Somehow and I dont know how, messaging was removed from my Att service plan.

But while I got some attention. Serendipity 4.1 just came out, is it safe to stay on 3.5 because Im scared of flashing and breaking something again.

Just curious... what version of MOTO software are you running on? 2.3.15, 2.3.320, or 2.3.340?
[Droid X General] civicman76:
Mine did the same thing. The problem was caused by flashing from a 2.3.15 rom to a 2.3.340 without first getting the official O.T.A 2.3.340 from VZW. I also had trouble with streaming Pandora and with the stock music player. What I did to fix it was, use RSD Lite to flash back to a stock 2.3.15 rom, then got the official 2.3.340 O.T.A update. Rebooted Re-rooted and Re-Flashed Apex 1.3.1 and all was well.:D
[Droid X General] abrumlev:
THanks guys Ill try that.

I thought i was running 2.3 something but it shows me with 2.2.1

I know there are a million and one TOP APP thread.

1st is a couple of apps from Mobitobi. (biased as I been helping test)

Gentle Alarm and SleepNow *a white noise generator*

The Alarm more than anything has come to be a MUST have for me. Love the PreAlarm and the FadeIn..

Pure Grid Messenger for a Facebook/Twitter scrollable full screen widget. Many options for Widgets and will track mail and calls as well in same widget.

Couple Programs I been messing with for customization of screens are Desktop Visualizer (takes some tinkering and some Photoshop knowledge and you can make some AWESOME screens, coupled with Folder Organizer and you can get some really nice uncluttered screens with the same functionality of one jammed with icons and what not..

I made a copy of the original ROM in a folder Clockworkmod created and moved it to my PC and upgraded the SD card. I tried copying the folder back and run Clockworkmod to restore my backup via recovery but it doesn't seem to take it.

There are some messages but it was too fast to read. How do I use the folder I copied to reflash back to the ROM I copied. Thoughts?
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Use Rom Manager and select "Backup and Restore" select a prior back up. Then select wipe and install and rom manager will do the rest. If your getting a md5 mismatch error, if your renamed your backup file and have spaces in the title you will get the md5 mismatch error, just rename the file to a one word title.

I had to make a backup of my current first before I was able to find out which folder Clockworkmod was putting the backup ROM too. I'm already in the process of finishing the restore. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ommadawn12345:
Hi,

Newish to this forum but need big assistance!

I have several HTC HD2 which have a problem flashing up the message "There is a problem connecting to the GPRS service in your registered home network" when using any internet based application. We have several applications using the net on the phone so when there is no signal etc this message pops up quite often.

I know it is being caused by "HTCMESSAGE.EXE" from the process viewer in the task manager and am trying to disable it in the registry but can not find the entry.

I don't mind the connection dropping etc but the message could pop up over other applications making it unusable so it's crucial to disable it.

Any ideas anyone?

Many thanks in advance. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kalhimeo:
replace HTCMESSAGE.exe with a dummy exe like the one inlcuded and it will stop bugging you.

Note that this probably disables more than this single warning

Just saw a commercial for 10 dollar 4g plan. Anyone know what that plan is? Is it a lower data cap or is it just a "free" sample kind of deal?
[G2 and Desire Z General] bmaing2:
Its going to replace the current 15 dollar plan its 200 mb if you go over it .10 per mb with a 30 dollar overage cap. So if you used a ton you would end up paying 40 in total. So I would start with the unlimated for one month see how much you use. If under 200 mb just do the 10 I don't think its out yet though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ilikepu:
its out but with 3000 min plan
[G2 and Desire Z General] matthenry87:
On t-mobile, new customers receive the 10 dollar 200mb option. Existing customers must switch to the promo version if the even more plans (even if they are on an even more plan currently). This promo plan is the only version available to new customers.

For existing customers I call the 200mb feature the 15 dollar web because that is how much it costs if you don't change to the newer plans.

Switching to the 10 dollar web plans does extend the contract on ALL lines on your account but doesn't affect your upgrade dates.

The best plan in my opinion is the 4g do more 3000 min promo plan for 149.99. 3k minutes, unlimited text for the family, and unlimited 4g web for 2 phones. Additional lines are only 5 bucks to share minutes. I've been off since sunday but I'm pretty sure this 3k plan is still available. On this 3k promo plan unlimited 4g web is only 20 dollars per line including additional lines.
[G2 and Desire Z General] matthenry87:
Also.. This 3k plan does require at least 2 phones to have unlimited data.

Also keep on mind.. This isn't very obvious to even sales reps.. But smartphones like the g2 and the mytouch 4g are considered premium smartphones so they do require the unlimited web in order to receive their rebates. The tag says data plan required but t-mobile's internal says that the unlimited feature is required for rebates. This can be very confusing because you are given the option of the 200mb feature on all phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
I called today and switched two of our five lines to the $10/mo 200mb data plan- my G2 and my boyfriend's Vibrant. We don't live in or near a 4G area (or 3G or Edge for that matter) and since we're mostly on wifi, and don't use much cell data, it made sense and saves us $40/mo. If we do go over, its capped $-wise at what we were paying, so no big deal.

Our contract was not extended, and the rep was very helpful.
[G2 and Desire Z General] matthenry87:
You must have already been on the promo version of the even more plan.. How long ago did you start the current plan that you are on? The 10 dollar feature is not offered I the system to previous plans.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jamstar35:
The $5 add a line ended on Tuesday....its back to $10 add a line now. The 4G 3k plan is still up and running though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ibleedandroid:
Feel free to do whatever you want. My advice is stick with the unlimited data plan. The first time you go over your gonna be really really sorry.

G2 CM6.1.1 (free)
[G2 and Desire Z General] solace.discord:
we have 5 lines, 750 min even more plan, $15 unlim family texting, unlim data on one line, 200mb on three lines (now) and no data on the last line, family allowances and insurance on three lines.

I plead the case that we don't get 4G or even 3G where we live and use wifi most of the time, which the rep could see from past billing cycles, and it was rather unfair for us to have to pay for something that TMo cannot provide, and that we do not/can not use.

she made the change retro to the beginning of this current billing cycle and was very nice about it.

like I explained before, we have been paying for unlim data on the two lines that were changed, so saving money is a bonus. if we go over, it won't be by much, so no matter what, the bill will always be less than it used to be.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mdayjr:
These new plans are to get you off the unl everything and will end up costing you more in the end. Keep up with the two giants and you will see what tmo is doing. Its all compitition. Plans like these are the reason why at&t sit where they are. Number 1 wireless carrier. Vzw has been on at&t's ass for awhile now and with the iphone coming in? Customer base may increase significantly. Give tmo some cool phone and better data and they too can have a good customer base.

How do you figure att is #1? cuz of the iphone? Big red has more users.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Finland_2_Cupertino:
Add a line is still 5 on the 3k plan. I have a feeling many of you work for magenta, and if this is true you should know your price plans better.
