I get good 4G in the large majority of Midtown only... Everywhere else it's either on and off always or just slow as turd.

(This was about 2 weeks ago when I took a break from CM to run Calkulin's, so I don't know if his ROM is a factor or not and I've since gone back to CM so my results are a bit inconclusive.)

I'm in midtown and 4G is horrible anywhere indoors in Manhattan due to the 2.5Ghz frequency and tall buildings.

That made my decision to switch to CM7 (no 4G support) about 100 times easier. I just don't care until they get it together.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chlila:
Download MetaMorph from the Android Market.

Download the version of the theme you'd like on your phone. Save it to the AndroidThemes folder.

Open MetaMorph. Select "Start Checks." The program may close the first time you open it. Open it up again and select "Unzip/Extract new theme." Select the theme from the AndroidThemes folder. MetaMorph will unzip the file and probably close afterward again. This is normal.

Open MetaMorph. Select "Pick existing theme." Navigate to the .xml file for the theme. When you open this up you will have a list of items to load either individually or as a group. Each modifies a different part of your phone to theme it. If you do it individually, it is normal for MetaMorph to appear as though it is freezing, and then boot up again. This is normal, and usually the theme sticks.

Continue until you've selected and loaded each individual part of the theme.

Good luck!
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newell23:
thanks...works great
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kellinwood:
Or you could use ZipThemer to install it! :) ZipThemer is a free alternative to MetaMorph that doesn't cause unexpected freezing or reboots and provides an easy way to undo the theme install.

[Omnia 7 General] Gp.:
Hi all, new here

I'm in Australia with the Samsung Omnia 7.

I bought phone online from someone who won it in an Optus competition (Optus being the carrier here).

The phone is unlocked to any network but for about 3-5 seconds upon the phones startup, there is a branded Optus logo that is displayed.

I want it GONE.

What's the best way to do this? I'm running the original firmware, not the new leaked one. I'm also not game to flash to the leaked newer firmware as Samsung hasn't released it officially and I've heard some Aussies have had some issues after doing it.

What's the safest way I can remove this start-up logo branding? Thanks!
[Omnia 7 General] mughalgxt:
change to a different firmware, vol up+camera+power button > download mode> samfirmwares.com firmware(unbranded)! Thats currently the only possibility.
[Omnia 7 General] Gp.:
What about by editing a registry entry or something?

I'm not prepared to "upgrade" to that firmware until Samsung releases it (if they do).

They probably haven't for a reason.
[Omnia 7 General] mughalgxt:
try chevron unlocker, install registry explorer search and share!
[Omnia 7 General] Gp.:
Is chevron unlocker going to change something about my device I can't reverse? I want full control of any testing I do.
[Omnia 7 General] mughalgxt:
sorry for late reply, the firmware file consists of lot parts (Phone, csc,eboot,pda), modifying a specific file in the archive may remove the startup logo.Just search wiki for answers about the significance of each part.Or better still, wait for the update release by MS see if it changes anything! Chevron won't help!

Most users have upgraded to the firmware available at samfirmware.com I too running omnia 7 t-mobile uk version unbranded by downloading I8700XENJK1. Have had no issues so far!
[Omnia 7 General] Gp.:
Any updates on this with new unlocking methods etc..?

I'd really like that start up pic gone if I can!
[Omnia 7 General] emigrating:
No, like has already been said, the only way to get rid of this is to re-flash the device. You should be able to only flash parts of it though which would leave the OS (and all apps, settings etc) intact. I'm guessing it's the bootloader image that includes the logo you're seeing, so would start there.
[Omnia 7 General] Casey_boy:
Do you have anyway to do this? There's no tool I've heard of which can replace specific parts of the ROM?

It's a full reflash or nothing, I think.

Casey
[Omnia 7 General] evolutionqy7:
For now it is. Even with WinMo 6.5 we had to flash the 2nd start up screen. Then we had full access to the core of OS. Right now we dont. So only way to get rid of it is to flash a brand free rom issue by samsung and not a carrier
[Omnia 7 General] Gp.:
Any updates on this now?

Anyone know a registry key that is associated with the start up logo?
[Omnia 7 General] emigrating:
Are you absolutely certain about this? The ROM comes in parts and I would assume we could flash only part 1 or 2 if we so wanted?

There IS NO registry key for this. The boot logo is displayed long before the OS has even started booting.
[Omnia 7 General] TheAperture:
I've also installed the firmware from samfirmware.com and I've had no issues at all. I've managed to update to Pre-NODO and NODO without any pain (apart from having to use the Hungarian Hack to get NODO early).

I've seen no downsides from my perspective.

The only risk I can see is that no carriers will have tested WP7 against this firmware until it's officially released by Samsung.
[Omnia 7 General] stikkman2000:
if you have a 4.10.1.9 bootloader, there's no possibility to change your rom....forget it.

[Omnia 7 General] ChisPydtank:
Hello everyone, Im new to the site. I too purchased, what I thought to be unbranded, a mobile over the internet that was branded with T-Mobile Germany. Im in Australia. I can use my Optus SIM Card. But what was worrying me is what affects a branded phone (especially from another country) would have on me and my usage, especially with the new Mango update.

Now unless someone can tell me that it really doesnt make any difference to how the phone will work, I want it unbranded for safety sake. That being said, my quote above, This firmware, obviously it sounds custom and not official. If I install this firmware, any Windows Update up until this point (Not Mango), will it still install via zune? and will it take on the Mango update when thats out?

Thanks guys
[Omnia 7 General] AngryNil:
I believe samfirmware just releases leaked firmware. They are therefore all "official" in a sense and the unbranded ones should just be firmware for the unbranded devices.

If you're using a branded phone, the official updates will roll out when the original carrier certifies it. Apart from that and the boot branding, there shouldn't be many differences.
[Omnia 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
Branded won't make any difference to your experience. But you can flash the unbranded ROM it's easy enough and you should still get the Mango update.
[Omnia 7 General] Sherwet:
So?

GP, have you gotten rid of it yet?
[Omnia 7 General] pLUSpISTOL:
Just flash an unbranded ROM dude, really easy :)
[Omnia 7 General] OndraSter:
The second screen, the carrier logo, is simple mologo.bmp file... If you replace it with some file explorer, you are done :)
[Omnia 7 General] Sherwet:
Yeah just making sure :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rosser725:
Does anybody know how to boot the Android emulator into Recovery? And/or how to run custom ROMS on the emulator?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Brut.all:
It doesn't make much sense - emulator isn't a true device, it's just... an emulator.

You have to create yaffs2 image of that rom. You could try to:

Install rom on a device.

Compile http://code.google.com/p/yaffs2utils/ for android.

Run it on a device and build yaffs2 of /system .

Also you could try to build an image on a PC, but you would have to apply update.zip scripts manually.

Then you have to hack Android SDK to use that image.

If you're lucky, it will work, but ROM is designed for one specific device or few similar ones, there are proper drivers, etc., so usually it's not that easy to run it just like that on something different.

[Defy General] pjcons:
I know Telstra runs on UMTS 850Mhz in Australia, but at the moment it's also running alongside 3 on UMTS 2100Mhz (the more popular band).

My questions is what is the base firmware which has been loaded onto the phone? Is it the UK 2.21??? (which has bands 900/2100 covered) or is it another one?

Reason for asking is I've flashed back to UK 2.21 (don't ask why!) and now have found that I get my network reporting as "3Telstra" (which I'm guessing is UMTS 2100Mhz) versus what it used to report ("Telstra").

So question 2 then is if I'm running on 2100Mhz due to having the UK 2.21 sbf flashed, what should I flash to get my 850Mhz band back? Or how do i get 850 back?

TIA for any help all...
[Defy General] _ossie_:
System version Blur_Version.2.26.0.MB525.Telstra.en.AU

My wife got a shift on release day and i played with it all the time before I got mine yesterday. I was getting 1650 in quadrant on her shift 100% stock no temp or perm root nothing removed ... so yesterday I get my shift, root it right outta the box and kill apps and run quadrant and my highest score is 1340 did rooting it slow it down or did I get a lemon? I havend RUU'd but I factory reset a few times with the same result... on a weird note I know that some peoples phones weren't able to handle the full 1.5 OC but mine does fine and pulls 2275 in quadrant with miui...weird huh?
[EVO Shift 4G General] dboogie2288:
I had the same drop from about 1600 to 1300 after rooting it. I always knew when I ran visionary the performance was crap. Didn't really notice any slowness, just saw the numbers from quadrant.
[EVO Shift 4G General] the5ifty:
I will check the wifes shift when she gets home (hers is rooted now too) and see if she has the same thing.
[EVO Shift 4G General] d1msum4lyfe:

[EVO Shift 4G General] germancarsrock:

[EVO Shift 4G General] jesusice:
Weird. I've also got a drop vs unrooted stock. With current Quadrent (1.7.1) I get in the 1300's. With previous version (1.5.1) I get 1400's. Out of the box I had 1500 - 1600.

^ Shift Faced
[EVO Shift 4G General] Evo_Shift:
I still get in the 1500-1600s perm rooted, usually capping out around 1645. Only thing I didn't do was install the recovery or flash any ROMs. Just froze the apps I didn't want to see in titanium. I also deleted Visionary but that's it. Everything else was the same as before I rooted. I never used my phone in temp root mode though. I went from stock to perm root without doing any performance tests.

[EVO Shift 4G General] d1msum4lyfe:

[EVO Shift 4G General] gTen:
What are you talking about? I contributed in saying that you can't base your assumptions on 1 benchmark..mostly a flawed one..in his case he lost "Quadrant Score" but Quadrant Score is vague as there is CPU, IO, 2D, 3D, Memory..

so there is n way to isolate the issue..unless you either use Quadrant Pro or another benchmark...because it can also be another Flaw in Quadrant too..if not you can figure out what exactly is being effected...

But you are right, we should autodelete posts that don't contribute to the discussion..like this guy:
[EVO Shift 4G General] fifedogg:
Cpu is down a little. But I/O and 2D are down quite a bit from when I was running the stock rom, both around half. I'm kind of curious why that is. I'm wondering if its because now I'm on the Deodexed rom and not stock maybe? On a side note I was able to get 2517 on the 1.5ghz OC kernel and Desire ROM though.

Does anybody know of a simple and guaranteed to work 3.5mm headset (not headphone) to headset adapter that makes iPhone compatible headsets work with Galaxy S?

I have Sennheiser MM 60i, but the mic does not work.

I do NOT want to buy headPHONES adapter (mic doesn't work).

Neither do I want to buy a headset adapter with a built-in separate mic (want to use the higher quality mic in the headset I have).

There are tons and tons of adapters on eBay, but almost all of them are either headPHONE adapters (only 4-pin to 3-pin) or come with their own mic.

Is there a 4-pin to 4-pin 3.5mm female to male adapter that crosses over the wires from iPhone-standard to Nokia/Galaxy S standard?

Am nearly going mad trying to find an adapter like this at local stores.

Any help appreciated!

***EDIT*** Cable works

I was looking for the same kinda thing, I stumbled across this on eBay yesterday and ordered it.

Now I'm not sure it will work 100% but if you can wait a couple of weeks I'll know for sure then, and if it doesn't I've only lost $1 :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
or with decent soldering skills you can make one

i made one from an old nokia ad57 adapter cable and a female four pole plug

i cut the wires from the nokia adaptor and soldered the female four pole on switching the sleeve with ring ( i.e. tip/ring/ring/sleeve male plug to tip/ring/sleeve/ring female plug)

this is the result
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Lucazader:
I got one when I purchased some headphones that i got that are made by urbanears.

It seems to work well, the company calls it the "nokia adapter", however it makes the headphones work perfectly on my phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] vasra:
Does the urbanears adapter only work with headPHONES or also with headSET including the mic?

Yes, I guess I could dig out my soldering iron, source the 4-pin 3.5mm plugs and start fiddling, but I was kind hoping for a $4 eBay part to do the trick :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] kennytung:
I will wait for your review :)

Or if anyone can post a detail tutorial to explain how to do this adapter manually? Does it reduce the sound quality?
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] furstrated:
doesnt reduce sq afaik and thats using a very revealing iem like the triplefi10

also the mod is really easy, the most difficult part is soldering because the plug is small but not really difficult as to require special tools or special skills

1. i just cut the nokia adaptor

2. then i separate the 4 wires inside and determine which is tip, ring, ring, sleeve via a tester/multi tester, the wires are colored so write down which is which

3. then i got the female plug and used a cutter on the rubber around it, slice it down the middle on two sides so you can open it. if you have a threaded female plug, you just open it.

4. then you solerd the wire according to the pattern i posted above. only switch the ring and sleeve around.

5. close up everything and youre done

It's simply an extension lead, although it only contains three wires, so you have to completely strip the socket and jack and rewire it for it to work. I bought one but before i could wire, the vacuum took the socket it from me xD I really need to get around to buying another one.
