Any idea of how to get these made into the apks that are used in the op.

I've flashed those in the link and they work fine. But to get them to show in the list is the question
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] sneakysolidbake:
I haven't looked at them but second post does say they probably won't work on galaxy s devices.

im running JDMS 1.6.2 and recently my end call key will not respond. maybe once out of twenty key presses but most of the time it will not work to lock/unlock the phone. any suggestions?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyxle:
Bump
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Try a different rom. If it still persists in another android rom, then try winmo. If it still persists in winmo, then it's your button that's the problem.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyxle:
It can't be the button due to the fact I can use the the key to power on the phone and it works with every press. I can't enter the magldr menu since the end call key doesn't register so when I hold it when powering on it still boots straight into android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Then just change to a different Rom.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyxle:
how do i load a new rom? i cant get into the magldr menu to flash a new rom is there another way to do it
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
You can use power button but not end call button? Do you know that power button and end call button is just the same button?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyxle:
i meant if the device is off and i push the power button it will turn on. but once its on the phone will not respond to the key press
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Then try getting in a different build. Do a long press on power button during power on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyxle:
it seems as if as soon as the phone powers on the power button does not respond because if i do a long press on the power button it still boots straight to android and doesnt bring up the magldr menu
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyxle:
so ive tried 2 nand builds and a nandram build as well as a windows mobile 6.5 rom and still the problem persists. but how can the actual hardware of the key be broken if the button can be used to turn the phone on? tried doing hard reset and that didnt do anything. is there anyway to do a 100% clean wipe of the phone that will completely remove magldr and CWM from the phone?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
It's called a task 29. task 29 wipes the phone completely.

I still think it's the hardware though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] andyxle:
did the task 29 still doesnt work. but how can the hardware be the issue of the button still works to power on the phone? has anyone else ran across this problem.

watch it permissions has changes it wants to read your sms and mms in and out
[EVO 4G General] johnnychimpo:
Now that makes absolutely no sense at all. WTF would Angry Birds want to read your SMS and MMS messages. REMOVING!
[EVO 4G General] dbonbass:
This is from Android Cemtral

Update: You might well have noticed that the app now says it needs/has permission to access your SMS messages. The developer, Rovio Mobile, tells us on Twitter that it "Must be a mistake in some permission file. Will get it sorted on Monday."
[EVO 4G General] xfullmetal17:
To be on the safe side, probably won't download until Monday when he fixes it. Is there a changelog to see what all changed?
[EVO 4G General] dbonbass:
androidcentral.com/angry-birds-update-brings-30-new-levels

Looks like new levels. And some easter eggs with unlock codes coming in a Super Bowl commercial.
[EVO 4G General] drmacinyasha:
Yeah, let's see here... The permissions say it is reading/sending SMS's, and for a company's flagship $1M+ product to have such a bug in it, I think someone would be called in to fix it on the weekend. After all, it'd take only a few minutes to edit the XML file which declares permissions, sign the APK, then send it to the Market.

I reckon the Superbowl "easteregg" is going to be using SMS's without users' knowledge/consent, and that's why they're waiting until Monday.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Editing the xml to not say that is one thing, but what if the app was actually reading/sending sms? It would take time to remove that bit of code. I would rather check to see what it is doing than rely on what it says it is or isnt doing.
[EVO 4G General] iconoclastnet:
Oh, come on people! This is XDA afterall.

You unpack the apk, edit the xml yourself, repackage and sign. Then you beat all then new levels over the weekend at make fun of the people who are waiting until monday. :p

Solution: Dont DL angry birds. At least not on YOUR phone!!! In any event. Its too addictive anyway. I had to force myself to uninstall it!!!!
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
You do realize that when a program apk is compiled that programs access is determined according to what it does and what it uses and not manually listed by the devs in an xml file.

The fact that the xml file says it means that apk does in fact use or do some actions that involve sms.

I can make a simple apk that stores numbers in a db for the user at their execution and when compiled the xmls will be automatically updated by eclipse to display the type of permissions it requires along with the actions and access it has to your system.

You can edit the xml like you said but it doesn't remove that bit of code that interacts with the sms operations.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
You do realize that you're completely wrong.

http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/manifest-intro.html#perms
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
So you're telling me that you have personally compiled a program apk in eclipse and you had to manually specify what permissions and access it needs in the android manifest? Your eclipse somehow does not automatically update the manifest as your code changes?
[EVO 4G General] aimbdd:
if you can edit whats in their manually.. whats stopping you from falsifying permissions.. i call false.
[EVO 4G General] dbonbass:
rovio.com/index.php?mact=Blogs%2Ccntnt01%2Cshowentry%2C0&cntnt01entryid=57&cntnt01returnid=58

I guess its not a bug.

"SMS payment coming to Android devices

We are bringing Angry Birds players on Android the option of purchasing the Mighty Eagle and other cool new content in the future using our brand new payment system, Bad Piggy Bank!

Bad Piggy Bank purchases will be paid through operator billing. No credit card is required, you simply select the content you want to purchase in the game, and select the Bad Piggy Bank icon. You confirm your purchase, the payment is made via SMS, and you will be charged in your phone bill.

The Android version of Angry Birds asks for SMS permission because this mobile payment capability has been added in version 1.5.1.

Angry Birds does not use the SMS functionality of the device for any other purpose than Bad Piggy Bank payments.

If the Bad Piggy Bank is not available for your operator, no purchases can be made, and you cannot be charged for anything.

Right now, the system will be available only in Finland for Elisa customers, with more countries and carriers following later. We are working globally with operators on bringing Bad Piggy Bank to all of our users worldwide - ask your mobile carrier or operator for more details!"
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
The point is that just because you can edit the manifest to stop the permissions after the program has been compiled the bit of code that needed those permissions still exists in the program.

If the developer really wanted their code to run they would/could find a loophole/exploit to have their code run regardless if the program is allowed the permissions.

It's just like rooting our devices. It was possible through the exploit of a flaw in the system.

If rovio (for whatever reason) was really intent on interfacing with the sms functions they would have tried to circumvent the simple permissions in the manifest.

I'm not saying rovio is trying to be malicious with their code but once the program is compiled editing xmls doesn't really change the actual code, just parameters of the program such as strings, values, etc.
[EVO 4G General] phatmanxxl:
Who uses sms anyway?
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
Which goes back to my initial stance of the program needing those permissions because it interfaces with the sms functions and upon compiling eclipse automatically updated the manifest to allow those permissions.

I use eclipse and this is the behavior I observed when compiling program apks. The manifests and most other xmls get automatically updated as the code changes.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
Actually, yes, I have. Eclipse does not do this for you. If you don't specify a permission manually in the manifest file, it will throw an exception when it tries to perform that task. Conversely, there's nothing that prevents you from asking for a permission in the manifest that you do not actually use.

The latest update on this is that they actually are going to use it for carrier billing of in-app purchases. But their initial explanation that it had mistakenly added the permission but wasn't using it is technically possible. Of course, it is unlikely that someone would take the effort to manually add a permission they didn't need, but you could certainly do it.
[EVO 4G General] lovethyEVO:
I'm not saying you're wrong but what I know is that my eclipse environment updates the manifest for me when it needs it. It's possible that because I also use ms vstudio to write anything in java/c#/c++ etc and I have integrated its use alongside eclipse that between the two one of them is doing the updates for me and I have just never noticed that this happens with eclipse. It could also be that when ever I test the programs I run it in the emulator versus using the device for anything other than the final program. Either way, we can't say either of us is wrong since we probably use different build environments and practices.

[Nexus One General] garfnodie:
After seeing this post on Gizmodo about Nokia using bubbles on the lock screen to get to different apps on the phone (SMS, Phone, etc), I got to thinking that though would be a great basis on a secure and dynamic lock screen for Android.

Imagine having about five or six bubble floating on your lock screen, each one having a different image or icon inside of it. You have to to tap the bubble in a certain order to unlock your phone. The catch is that the bubbles are moving and never in the same place each time you see your lock screen.

Example: six bubbles with different images (cat, car, house, speaker, android guy, phone), to unlock your phone you have to tap house, android guy, phone and then cat. Since they are always moving, and never start in the same place each time you wake your phone, you never have to worry about some glancing your lock pattern or worry about a smudge pattern on the screen that can be seen. All anyone will see is spots where you've tapped your screen like any other area of the OS.

Dynamic, secure, intuitive, easy to remember, images can be changed to keep it even more dynamic and secure.
[Nexus One General] redbullcat:
I've been thinking about modding WidgetLocket to make custom lockscreen stuff - I'd love to make a Honeycomb esque unlock screen. I don't know if it's possible though, I'm guessing it would take quite a lot of work if it was. If I can, I might try this as well.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
The problem is that unlike normal lockscreens with passwords/patters is that the unlocking pattern will be different every time. While this keeps prying eyes at bay it could also get on your nerves after a few tries. Imagine waking up bleary eyed and trying to unlock your phone quickly or in the daylight where it may be much harder to distinguish between icons.

I do like the idea though but i'd something closer to the Nokia bubbles idea, something full of eye candy ;)
[Nexus One General] garfnodie:
As with anything that has some form of built in security lockouts, there is almost always many different levels to choose from. Generally, the more secure, the harder it is to use. It's just an excepted trade off, and it always will be until we're all rocking phones with retinal scanners built into them.

This is just an idea though and some fleshing out would be needed to make it easy to use weather wide awake, or half asleep, weather you have your glasses on or not.

An additional idea is to be able to choose from fancy pretty icons, or just simply make them colored bubbles. The later being easy for bad/blurry vision. The key here is that the icons are alway moving slowly and never start in the same place when the phone wakes and that there is no swiping finger smudge pattern on the screen.

I'm not a dev and really don't have the patience to code, so these could all be pipe dreams and not even possible with Android OS. But it seems to me that if someone is willing to dig deep enough into the code, I'm sure it could be done. Or Google themselves could possibly pick up on this and do it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJ1984:
Hi,

Trying to unbrick my phone is driving my mind totally mad!

So far I have tried installing several CF roots with ODIN and tried to reflash the ROM with I9000XWJS3. All of them lead to no success, just a black screen and the phone vibrates every 10 seconds.

Trying to find information on this forum is easy.. but trying to put all those pieces of information together is somewhat impossible for me.

I am from the Netherlands and bought this SGS 2nd hand from someone who has rooted it. However I have no idea how that person has done that with which piece of software. I also have no idea what build number it currently has. However I do know there is no sim-lock, because the owner bought it from the KPN telecom provider and has no problems using a sim-card from T-mobile.

I am able to get into the download mode (3 button combo thingy) and Odin can successfully flash the ROM of my SGS.

Now what I need to know is which PIT, ROM, CSC, Modem files etc. I need to make this phone working again. Preferably I'd like to run it on Froyo 2.2.1 with Android market installed.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oggy059:
try downloading the firmwares from samfirmwares.com
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=846913 download the firmware from here. preferably JM8 flash that thru odin with PIT and REPARTITION and that should do the trick. then you can flash over a new rom like JPY (2.2.1)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silverblade.nz:
I've successfully unbricked my Galaxy with the 'Froyo ROM that does not brick' here - "h t t p://w w w.4shared.com/file/dJiyRz3v/EUGENE373_SamsungS_Froyo_PDA.html" (Can't post as actual link because I'm not allowed to yet, just copy and paste the bit between the speech marks into a new window and remove the spaces).

As per previous poster's instructions; flash through Odin as PDA with PIT and REPARTITION (Original instructions for this ROM said not to use repartition but that didn't work for me)

You should then be able to Odin flash any new rom you like, but when you do

DON'T

use REPARTITION or PIT, otherwise your phone will just get bricked again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oggy059:
I feel that flashing the firmwares which needs partition is safer and better than those that isn't....for my case I prefer flashing JPU than JPY or JPX...it works every time I got my phone semi-bricked, hehe...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbal:
Hello,

Yesterday i had similar problem ater trying to flash Darky's resurrection edition.

After the boot i had a black screen just like you.

Here's how i finally unbricked:

Download

- PIT 803 file multiupload.com/6JX2LEUCTY

- I9000XWJS3 pakcage from samfirmware.com (european for my case), PIT803 version : hotfile.com/dl/100247999/301207f/I9000_XEN_I9000XWJS3.rar.html

(The pwd is samfirmware.com)

The package I9000 XEN I9000XWJS3 contains 3 file (which i think is the key, trying to repartition with only one PDA file seem to soft brick the phone)

In Odin, tick repartition, for PIT select the PIT 803 file

For PDA, choose I9000XWJS3-REV03-ALL-low-CL830616.tar.md5

For CSC, choose GT-I9000-CSC-XENJS3.tar.md5

For PHONE, choose MODEM_I9000XXJPY.tar.md5

After the flash, your phone will reboot in rescue, unplug it and do a wipe/factory reset, then reboot and you should be ok.

The goal was only to unbrick my phone, but i'm totally happy with this firmware for now, my phone is a lot faster than before, and i don't feel the need of a lagfix anymore!!

Please note that this is just my experience, and you should wait for more advanced users help.

I was wondering if the kernels are safe to use yet? I've been gone for a while and last I read they wher frying batteries. I just bought a 3500 extended battery and don't want to fry it. I am using calkulins 1.7.5 with his stock kernel and getting ok battery life but think I should be getting fast better with the extended battery. I normally average about 9-11 hours of medium to heavy usage on this rom. Any feed back?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adam1422:
I have been running the SBC kernels since they came out and never had an issue. They are great. I think the frying batteries you are refering to had other components that helped them get to were they were at. If you are going to use one (they fing rule) just dont run any type of overclock app. download batter monitor and just keep an eye on your history and temp. Other than that I have ran a trickle charge kernel on my original battery and my 3500 extended battery. I get about 2-3 days of battery life out of the 3500 with light to moderate use. I get about a day to day in a half with heavy use. Hope this helps.

I edited the code to do bump charging. Both graphs were done over the same night and length of charge time. Both kernels were using the same frequency set and governor (ondemand and 998 max) but mine was undervolted.

Basically the sbc mod is the only way to get a true full charge with the extendeds WHILE CHARGING IN THE EVO.
