Oh yeah, one more thing.. Can I do this on a Mac, or do you need a Windows computer?

Thanks,

[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
A Mac will be fine.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] woulfey:
if I re-root and use clockworkmod recovery, will the cache cleaner on there be suitable for this?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
No, you need a fresh install, not just to clear out cache.

[Q] Mytouch 1.2 trade in?

So I've been hearing that tmobile is offering a phone trade in for devices bricked by the ota update. It seems that the replacement for the mytouch 1.2 is the optimus t. The fender edition receives a vibrant.Is this the same as the optimus GT540? And is it worth manually bricking my phone to get it? And since the fender is switched for a much better phone, would it be possible to get that instead of the optimus? Please let me know.

Edit: Yes I did read the other thread about this, but that one moved off topic.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
The Optimus T is also the Optimus One P500. You won't be able to get the Vibrant, even if you offer to pay the difference, I tried. Maybe if your persistant enough and get a nice CS Rep you may be able to weasle one out. Either way, your getting a better phone.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheBladeofFate:
So you're saying I could pretend it was a fender to get the vibrant? Because I know the ship you the phone first, before requiring you to send it back. And will they let me trade in for lagginess, or do I manually have to flash the wrong update?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Vibrant is out unless you find a CS that's just really nice or you annoy them to the point they'll do anything to shut you up. Their going to base the swap out off of what device your account has on it. So if your account says you have a regular 1.2 then your getting the Optimus. Unless, like I said, pigs start flying and cows start pooping fossil fuel. From what I've read they're doing it for lag as well but only after you go through the facade of them having you do a factory reset from recovery and waiting a day or so.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] TheBladeofFate:
Note that I can manipulate these people well. I bricked two mytouches trying to get root(before androot existed), and ive gotten mine replaced every time. I'll try and keep you posted.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] KimCheeZZ:
The exact same thing happened to me but in my case, i bricked three phones and this is my forth one that i am using now. Pissed off one of the reps, he said i cleaned out their stock. Hhaha
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] tidewaterns:
Does this apply to the original my touch 3g? If so I would like something different than this phone. I am happy with it if not but if I can get a new phone because of the OTA update I am all for it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
No, maybe when the update was coming out it would have. I just got my Optimus T and it's pretty slick so far. Had it for 2 hours and already have it rooted and I'm installing a new ROM now.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] adam79:
Thanks for that tip.. it brought my phone back from the dead. I'm still thinking about taking T-Mobile up on their offer to swap the myTouch for the LG Optimus T. Every spec on the LG tops the myTouch.

The thing that worries m is the $29 price tag on the LG. It makes me think that the parts might be inferior to the myTouch and might be prone to break easier. Any comment on this?

Thanks again,

-Adam
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] DonJuan692006:
Well I've been playing with mine for a few hours and it definitely out performs the myTouch. The $29 price tag is including all the discounts you get for adding a new line, not regular price.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] kpetrie77:
Edit - removed comment. Please continue this discussion for those who do qualify for a replacement. LG vs MT3G.

Just a stern but polite reminder, it became our problem and not T-Mobile's the moment we rooted and flashed. [Edit - removed]

There are dozens of stable 2.2 ROM's for this device and even more of us willing to help noobs. You can get a lot from your mytouch 1.2 or Fender using a custom ROM or a clean install of the OTA. I can suggest a few I have used that do very well these phones, check my sig. Flash away and remember if you brick - it is entirely

your

fault and responsibility to correct on your own dime, not T-Mobile's.

Kind Regards,

Kevin

Hi

Anyone knows about a mail client that has an easy to use interface?

lets say like mail on Ipad...

Al
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] dpaganello:
try k9 mail ... free and IMHO simple and powerfull.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] statsminister:
Its great. Damn ugly tho.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] mizreh:
K9 is not bad, but I would prefer to have on one side the list of messages and on the other side (same screen) the message I selected...

I have seen the demo of Mail for Honeycomb, and this is what I am looking for. I don't think it exists for Froyo...
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] Ezzy77:
I'm sure they'll come up with more tablet friendly email clients as tablets become more popular. K-9 is by far the best one for phones anyways. Touchdown is great for Exchange use.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] bastospn:
I feel the same! If we have a 10 inches display why can't we have a better e-mail client. We can allways use webmail, but isn't the same!

This is just fine. Exactly what I was looking for.

[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] julio77:
What did you do exactly?

I put the NI.Email.App.Installer.zip on the SD card.

I reboot with the ClockWorkMod recovery.

Finally I flashed the ZIP.

Eventually you can try to unzip the file and then manually install the APK file that is located inside.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] magic4some:
Working great on my folio.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] bastospn:
Mail'd is an example of well made app for tablets! Taking advantage of larger screens and using a very intuitive GUI.
[Folio 100 Themes and Apps] StefanW13:
Mail'd is great, use it on the the FolioNotion-Mod but installing just the app on FolioMod1.4 dont work for me.

Did everything as described (Install the zip with Clw, reebot after install) but when try to unlock after first reboot after install Folio hangs and i have too shotdown and reboot again.:confused: After second reboot everything works fine but there is no Mail'd :(

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mwelch16:
Had to get an OmniaII for my dad because he wasn't dealing with Android very well and it seemed to be the only WM phone for Verizon that I could find new. Being rooted in HTC products, this Touchwiz is killing me, even after putting custom ROMs on it. I've disabled the Touchwiz interface which helps, but I'm still having to deal with Samsung's skinning in the Contacts and some other places. Is there any way to get this phone back to stock WM?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] olyloh6696:
Im pretty sure i have seen some custom ROMs out there that are clea. on touchwiz.

Just outta interest , Which android phone is he coming from?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mwelch16:
Incredible. It's kind of the 'Old dog, new tricks' situation. He doesn't even really deal with TF3D very well. He likes the plain old stock WM home screen; gives him everything he needs & nothing he doesn't.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] olyloh6696:
wow! lol such an advanced phone to an omnia :S i'm sure if you do a good search on the forum you csn find clean 6.5 roms for the Omnia, or if he likes to rock it very old school clean 6.1 builds ;)

Your efforts to help out those of us who are less skilled are greatly appreciated. People like myself are who you intend to help. We understand how valuable your time is, and we recognize how kind you are to help us out with these kinds of posts.

Tools who make unappreciative posts, or worse, are not your audience, so I would recommend that you let their nonsense roll off your back like water off a muskrat's ass.

I for one am eagerly anticipating a rooted bloatware-free flashable KA6/7 that I can simply place on the SD card, fire up CMR, and update the device. If you are able to put that kind of an item together, as you mentioned, individuals like myself will truly benefit.

Many Thanks,

2 questions about ODIN

are we using the same pit file for all rom?

Can I flash this KA6 rom later to restore my phone,

or I still need to flash JFD to completely restore it?
[Vibrant General] lbridges:
Between the section on installing mini kies and the section on preparing the Vibrant I found that sometimes one has to insert an extra step.

Enable USB on the development option off the applications section (see pic for #3 under the prepare the Vibrant). Then connect to the PC and the PC will install drivers suitable for the phone. After windows tells you driver installation is complete, unplug, turn off USB development and proceed on exactly as given above.

Might not be required for everyone, but was for me on one machine (Acer dual core, windows 7, 32 bit).

[Vibrant General] customy8 @:
What exact issues can be seen when using update over jfd vs ji6, the only issues I noticed were after successful update, screen sensitivity was poor, web pages were jumpy and laggy, I am back on jfd with root and mcr scripts lagfix and it performs 100% better than this froyo, is this merely coincidental or the way it is?
[Vibrant General] nacron:
I had the regular galaxy S boot screen prior to the KA6 upgrade. Now I have the vibrant screen, the t-mobile boot and the galaxy s screen. Is this normal? I can't remember as I changed it a long time ago.
[Vibrant General] p00fz:
I've done what this thread has told me to do. When I plug my phone in I do not get any driver/hardware notifications. Kies updates when I first open it, and when I finally have everything to the point (besides the things I just mentioned) to plug it in push kies on the phone, and have it update... It never says my phone is plugged in. It just says "please connect phone".

Am I forgetting something? Am I supposed to be rooted to do this? True n00b here looking for some help.

thanks in advance!

[Vibrant General] jblade1000:
+1 just wanted to echo this

this was true for me too. i also had to try 3 different usb ports on my laptop before kies mini liked my vibrant lol. but i had learned that from updating to JI6, so this update was issue free

it should not wipe anything at all except your home screen configuration (number of homescreens, widgets, shortcuts etc). i had backed up my home screen config with Mybackup Pro and it only restore shortcuts, and number of screens, not any of my widgets, oh well.
[Vibrant General] kreedy:
This is what I found to be true as well. Alarms, contacts, app data all was fine. Only home screens were back to default.

[Vibrant General] XgrinderX:
Help please, I am a little nervous about what's going on with my phone and PC.

Followed instructions here, everything went swimmingly. Update started downloading to the phone and I had to get up top go to the door to answer it. I was away for maybe 3-5 minutes. When I got back, the phone has android sign with robot and shovel and says "Downloading... Do not turn off Target!!!" There is a blue progress bar that looks like it is about 90% across but has been stuck there for about 20 minutes. My PC is acting like it has gone to sleep or something. Screen is off, kb and mouse are unresponsive (both are USB), but the PC is still on. I turned off the monitor and turned it back on and it gives me the "No signal" message.

Please tell me I have not ruined my phone! I don't know what to do! I don't understand why it got this far and then hosed.

PC is Windows 7 64 bit. Any other info needed to help troubleshoot? I am starting to freak out a little bit.
[Vibrant General] XgrinderX:
Ok crisis averted. Out of desperation I unplugged my mouse from the back of my PC and plugged it back in and that seemed to bring my PC out of its slumber. The update said it had failed and I had to go through the Emergency Recovery procedure. After going through that, I am now updated to 2.2!!
[Vibrant General] DjMikeWatt:
This doesn't work for me. The KIES app says "Please connect your mobile phone." And when I connect the phone, it doesn't do anything. It still just says "Please connect your mobile phone."

This is one of those instances in which nothing I do seems to work. No matter what people suggest - things that work for everyone else - don't work for me. I'm ready to scream, or throw something, or cry... I'm not sure which.
[Vibrant General] DjMikeWatt:
This doesn't make sense to me because when USB debugging is enabled then you don't have the option to select KIES/Mass Storage/Media Player/etc.

With USB debugging off, my PC recognizes the device... I connect, select Kies, then Autoplay comes up and calls the device SGH-T959. However, the Kies software on my computer still just says "Please connect your mobile phone."

I just don't get it.
[Vibrant General] SamsungVibrant:

I've been searching a few forums looking and trying the best solution for my problem. I hope someone can help me and point me in the right direction. I'm having a real come apart trying to update my vibrant. I had to have a new one sent to me this past Monday and of course, it has ECLAIR on it. My old phone, I updated it to FROYO with no problems thinking I could do the same with this one. Here's what I've tried: I've tried uninstalling and re-installing mini kies, turning my phone on and off and taking the battery out, turned on USB debugging and setting it to "ask on connection" as well as just clicking "samsung kies" and all I get is "unsupported device" every single time. have not found any solutions yet and, I hope I will soon. If I don't have to get FROYO I won't but I already have things like tmobile's tethering package on my plan because I had my old vibrant updated and I liked the wifi calling. Is there another way to do this?

simply type

That's not what the OP asked. Would you mind explaining how you got it to work?
[XPERIA X8 Android Development] suhel28:
ah... you don't trust my opinion..

finey,shiney..

you need to change certain values in the framework.jar and android.policy.jar

and also certain values in framework-res.apk

I'd search my pc and check if I still have those files...

EDIT : Got them, not sure if they are the same.. I'm not an organized man.. If it doesn't work than maybe they are not the files I'll need to search more, let me know if it doesn't work...

EDIT 2 : if you get it working when you press reboot you'll get the same option as power off but when you click ok instead of shutting down it will reboot, trust me its very slow
