Ya I agree with that. Anyway i think most of us will have moved on by the time they get around to releasing that lol
[Captivate General] barbj050:
okay new to this where r the source codes and what do i do...i have 2.1..thanks
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
What ROM's have been built from the source code? Nothing I have seen mentions being built from source, only using the leaked firmware...unless I am confused here?
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
If you don't plan on developing your own ROM you don't need the source code.

but it's here http://opensource.samsung.com/
[Captivate General] vbhines:
Wait. Patiently.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Andromeda for one, based on Armani and Cognition is based on the rogers release.

The Rogers source just dropped very recently so I imagine future cog releases will be even better. :)
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
I thought the Armani was chip for chip identical to our Captivate
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
This was kind of my point. These ROMs haven't been built from source...I guess except for Andromeda. Hopefully the devs we have really know code and can utilize the source.

This is my captivate. There are many like it buy this one is mine.
[Captivate General] SnakeHaveYou:
Sorry, but Armani is not the same device as SGH-i897. If you flash through Odin the tar posted on samfirmware, it won't detect your sdcard and you'll have a mapping button problem, and screen orientation issue (Just like i9000 ROMs)

There're only two models sharing almost the same specs:

- SGH-i896 (Rogers Captivate)

- GT-i9088 (From China Unicom)

[Captivate General] fldude99:
The whole flashing, ROM, thing is so ridiculous..how does anyone trying to make a living have time to even bother? I just turn my phone on and figure it works the best it can..either folks here have time to burn or are independently wealthy to fool with all this 2.2 upgrade..etc stuff. I'm fine the way it is and if I want to upgrade I'll just buy it in the form of a new device..just my 2c people..the time it takes to research how to flash a new ROM on my Captivate, I can spend on earning more $$ and just buy what I want
[Captivate General] dp1mat:
Some of us just like messing around with stuff. Just like some of us add more hp to our rides via flashing the pcm with certain calibrations, adding nitrous, or supercharger, diff camshaft, better valve springs etc. I myself like doing stuff like that. Xbox modded, controllers modded, ps2 modded list goes on. If i wanted something that worked well out the box i prob got an iphone.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo1607:
I am having a problem with facebook contact syncing on my SGS. The contacts all sync to my phone fine, but i have noticed that even if i have the same name in my phonebook as i do for a facebook friend it joins the 2 together.

Only problem is that if i join 2 people of the same name, it seems to use the profile photo and status of another facebook user, and there seems to be no way to sort it, i have tried deleting facebook account from phone and resyncing it, i have tried manually joining the contacts and still nothing.

Anyone else experienced this?

Happened to me on Several roms

Stock 2.1

Stock 2.2

Various custom roms
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
I recently got a new Nexus One and loaded up 2.3 on it. The process is extremely simple, and doesn't require unlocking. Here's how to do it:

Download SuperOneClick to your PC. The only thing is to note is that the instructions have an extra step that should be skipped:

From the Android Market, install Root Checker on your phone and make sure you have root access. If so, congrats, you're rooted!

Download MicroMod's Gingerbread ROM (or any ROM of your choosing) to your microSD card.

- Note: If you're not installing a new ROM and just want to use a new recovery, you need to remove two files before installing the Recovery. See this post for more info.

From the Android Market, install ROM Manager. (Thread link for more info: Amon_RA's RA Recovery)

Reboot into Recovery.

- Backup/Restore -> Nand backup

- Wipe -> Wipe ALL data/factory reset

- Flash zip from sdcard -> Choose zip from sdcard -> Choose the zip of the downloaded ROM

- Reboot system now

Congrats! Enjoy Gingerbread! :D (And future ROM'ing!)

If you're feeling generous and you like my guides, feel free to donate. :)

Manual root guide...

[Nexus One General] elegos:
Why do you make people install clockworkmod first and RA then? I think CWM is just fine, it's up to the user. In any case, why not downloading RA one directly?
[Nexus One General] Paul22000:
Because that's what the instructions say in the thread from Amon_RA himself; you know, the actual creator of the recovery. :cool: Notice it's a quote, directly from him.
[Nexus One General] player911:
Even this "Easy method" adds steps. You can skip half of your method by paying for Rom Manager and using it to flash Clockwork and a rom of your choosing.

The steps would then be to simply root (however you can), PAY for Rom Manager because it is just awesome, then install Clockwork and the latest CM7 Gingerbread nightly directly from within Rom Manager.

Clockwork and RA are very similar. I used to use RA and had no problems with it, but Rom Manager needs Clockwork to be really useful. I highly suggest paying for Rom manager and letting it do all the work.

Gaining root is the hard part. Flashing alternative roms is not. Once you root, it is smooth sailing.
[Nexus One General] Hollow.Droid:
Also, using flash_img in a terminal can be a little messy. CWM gives the whole process a nice GUI, even if you end up on Amon_RA.
[Nexus One General] elegos:
CWM has toggles for signature and assert checks, which is a feature RA doesn't have (if it has, it's been implemented from CWM). BTW I think they're really the same thing, this is why I asked :)

EDIT: BTW Amon_RA created nothing but a fork of the original recovery, so he's not the creator, but a (heavy) modder :)
[Nexus One General] sitinon327:
Try this: turn your phone OFF, load up SOC, then click "root" and wait till it says "waiting for device". THEN plug up your phone and power it on. That's what works for me. If that fails, download pda net on your N1 and PC and connect it. It'll install the correct/missing drivers, then use SOC as I mentioned above. That's how I rooted on 2.2.2

[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Only gingerbread root options are unlock the bootloader or try and downgrade and root.
[Nexus One General] ermacwins:
Then why was this thread made? And how do you downgrade?
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
This thread was made before Gingerbread was released...

To downgrade, you follow the "Unroot/restore" guide from the wiki, using the passimg method and the FRG33 image. It works for most people, but for some reason there's a few people it just refuses to work for...
[Nexus One General] ermacwins:
it worked for me, thanks

[Nexus One General] MaD FroYo:
Is it possible to root a stock v2.3.4 N1 with an already unlocked bootloader using the latest (v2.2.1) SoC, or do you still have to downgrade to a previous version (2.2.x / 2.3.3) of AOS ?!

Thanks guys!
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Fastboot flash a recovery and use that to install the root binaries.

No messing about with exploits, that's the point of the unlocked bootloader.
[Nexus One General] MaD FroYo:
All went well. Thanks a million, Rusty! :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
Guys,

Hope you can help. Am at my wits end. I peformed a clean, official reflash via SEUS this weekend as I had made a mess of my build.prop file and a lot of apps had disappeared from the market.

I'm now running Global Generic, 024

I thought this would solve my woes, but several days later, I am still missing a number of apps, most notably the new Amazon UK app. In fact no official Amazon shopping apps appear. A few others are missing too, but Amazon seems a good benchmark as it's new, international and free - no reason for it not to be there.

I've cleared every cache, I've uninstalled Market updates, I've rebooted countless times, I've changed the clock to 2359 and left it 10 minutes. I've reinstalled the market apk. I've even used Root Explorer to check the Market data and the fingerprint is registered. I'm absolutely stuck.

Have I missed anything? Can anyone confirm they've succeeded in downloading the Amazon UK app? Can anyone get me out of this coz its driving me crazy!

Thanks so much for reading and hopefully helping!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
Just to clarify, I have waded through various things on this forum for hours - I also tried Market Enabler - I even tried spoofing with my own SIM code in ME!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
OK - I've reflashed (again), I've tried leaving wifi unconfigured and just using 3G, I've tried booting with no SD card in case there's an offending file there. I'm really running out of ideas. PLEASE - someone step up to the bar and give me some more ideas!

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:

Can anyone confirm that they DO have the Amazon UK app appearing in their market on the x10?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkedk:
Try and install it from the new Android Market website.

https://market.android.com/search?q=Amazon
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
Thanks - but all the Amazon apps are greyed out and say "Not Compatible With Your Device".

I have the .apk - but there's clearly something wrong here and I want to get that fixed - both for peace of mind and my own bloodymindedness!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
UPDATE: It looks like Amazon are either telling porky-pies or the developer has goofed. I can confirm that Amazon is not available on the ZTE Racer either, suggesting that despite claiming that it is available on 2.1, it's not appearing in the market.

It does work from an .apk, suggesting it's a mistake.

Thanks to everyone for their help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arkedk:
Hmm I can see when I try to install it, It says that the app is Carrier Specifik.

So I guess you would have to be on the right carrier to get this app.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
My mate on O2, running Froyo can get it. I can't get it on 2.1 spoofing O2 on Market Enabler.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onsomethinguk:
Quick update..... having discovered that it is missing from the ZTE Racer and GT540 too, I called customer services who assured me it was available to 2.1 users. Despite a flurry of calls from a very helpful chap over the past two weeks, their dev still hasn't managed to fix it.

Strikes me that this is a pretty epic fail for such a big company. There are threads about it on some other forums, but I was apparently the first person to report it. Shows how relatively few are the people who want an Amazon app, still running 2.1...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
What's the difference between ROMs that are based on the Captivate such as Cognition vs ROMs that are based on i9000 such as Perception? They both function more or less the same according to my usage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
One of the main diff is that Captivate based roms are 2.2 as where i9000 roms are based on 2.2.1. Some give you more options then others as I hear only certin things are available with 2.2.1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixstringsg:
Usually the i9000 roms are faster, and also allow do HSUPA.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
Like what? They both look the same to me, but I haven't gone in depth in terms of usage and stuff.

I'm pretty sure HSUPA depends on the modem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
have a look here for the updates. I think one of the main things in 2.2.1 were the exchange policies as Android is working its way to be more business friendly and Develoment minded.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steph2:
yes interesting i have cong 4 was wounding same thing still a bit fuzzy
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
Captivate better for me

I've found my phone works smoother with a captivate based rom.

Cognition is all captivate and things seem to work better

less force closes and unresponsive touch screen issues on my 1007 revision captivate, as well as dramatically less dropped calls

I lose HSUPA, but I'd rather have stability.

Cognition 3.04 with the stock rogers modem and with DA_G's gps fix also gives me pretty impressive gps performance on my captivate

I already paid for touchdown so exchange isn't an issue for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
HSUPA comes with the modem, not the ROM. Just flash the correct HSUPA modem and you're good to go.

For a normal user perspective, so basically there's little to no change. What about bluetooth? I need that for driving and atm, Cognition + Firebird/Speedmod does not support bluetooth calling.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
bump on the bluetooth question and of course on any other things you noticed
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheYar:
Ok, a couple points here:

1) I recently flashed a Captivate-based ROM for the first time in months, after flashing every i9000 reorient out there a dozen times. WOW. What the heck was I doing? At stock clock speeds (with a custom existz kb1 kernel and voodoo fs), the speed and smoothness and snappiness and sound quality and battery life of my device completely blows all i9000 ROMs I used out of the water. Maybe it's just my individual results, but it seems to me that there are still, despite all the much-appreciated hard work of kernel devs and ROM chefs, a ton of problems with how i9000 hardware works on the i897. It's great that I could get better dl/ul speedtest results on the HSUPA, or better Quad/Linpacks with OC, but in practicality, the process of downloading and installing an app on kb1 without OC is still WAY faster. The only ROM that compares is CM7. I'm not anyone's Director of Development, but I'd urge the devs here to focus on i897-based code and binaries whenever possible.

2) When I was using Cappy ROMs before, I know I had to use Bluetooth Launch and set it to the Voice Search VoiceRecognition Activity, thus enabling all Google Voice Actions including dialing over bluetooth. Today I'm going to play around and see if I can still get that working or perhaps tie it to the Voice Dialer app instead.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DJSpyral:
If your speech-to-text buttons are not working or you're receiving an error, make sure you have Google Voice Search installed. This app is required in order for the voice recognition on both the Android keyboard and Swype keyboard to work. Just thought I'd share. :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mikeudut:
I was going nuts trying to figure this out
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] DJSpyral:
Haha, yea... drove me nuts at first. Nowhere on the web had a solution, even tried asking the devs and they didn't know. So, I solved it by trial and error. Glad this was of help to you.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Zibs the Bowler:
Thanks for this solution.

I went without using the speech-to-text option for a while now, when it was stock with the stock ROM on my DInc.

Makes me wonder why this isn't included with the Gapps file (shrug).
[Captivate General] theredpolak:
Whenever I attempt to run a "specialty" camera application (Barcode Scanner, CamScanner, QuickMark), the application crashes immediately. This was not a problem in the past, but started yesterday for no apparent reason. The stock camera application still works fine.

I already attempted to fix the permissions, but it didn't seem to help. I also tried to restore backups of previous versions of the crashing applications, but this didn't help either.

Any ideas for why this happening?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Need more info to help. Rom? 2.1 or 2.2? Did you replace the email app as this is normally the issue
[Captivate General] theredpolak:
Running Darky's v9.02, which is 2.2.1.

The email app, really? Why does that affect the camera apps?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
To tell the truth as to why i am not sure but this was an issue with a few roms that if you used an email app that was not compatible then the bar coder app would crash and it would crash as well if you switched to video recorder it would also crash. Did you change the email app or uninstall it?
[Captivate General] theredpolak:
Once of the first things I did was uninstall it. Video recording still seems to work fine.

Will reinstalling the email app fix things, or does this seem to be a case-to-case problem?
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Yes reinstalling the email apk should fix it as it as on all the roms with this issue. If you cant find it have a look at the Phoenix thread and grab the email zip from the FAQ
[Captivate General] theredpolak:
Reinstalled stock email, rebooted the phone and now everything works fine.

Thanks for this, I never would have guessed that a missing email app was the problem here. Strange bug.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
I know I would not have thought so either but my guess is that it is wrapped up in the email app for sending qr codes or something of that nature. Glad you got it fixed.

HI

Not long had my X10i, and so far very impressed. However, Im trying to find out how to send a text message to my favourites. I run a football prediction league, and have 13 members. On my old samsung phone, i was able to type one sms and send to my 'group' of 13 contacts.

I have sorted my favourites out, but cant send an sms to them all at once?

How do i do it?

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alankstiyo:
not sure that you can send it to a full distribution list

the only way is to select one then click left button to add more contacts you have to do that each time
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agentJBM:
Download the app Handcent, and use it as your messenger service.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x10_lynx:
i think after sending first sms with all 13 contacts (manuell added recipients), you will automaticly create an entry in your sms list, with a group u looking for.

1. new message

1.1. add recipient

1.2. menu key --> add recipient

1.3. menu key --> add recipient

..

1.13 menu key --> add recipient

2. type text

3. send sms

after this you schould create a groupe entry in your sms list. now you can use this to send further sms to your football group.

[General Questions and Answers] s0cc3rstud:
try is one

Try VISIONary
[General Questions and Answers] cthomas2009:
Hmmm...I tried searching on google for VISIONary but I didnt find anything relevant to a root called VISIONary? Do you know a link for it?

EDIT:

I found info about VISIONary, but apparrently its been removed from the Android Market. I'm liking the option 'Run on Boot' that it offers. Beings its a temp root it will run everytime the system is restarted. If only z4root or Universal Androot had that option. Someone needs to come up with a Universal Permanent root for knock-off brand tablets. But anyways, any ideas of where i can download VISIONary beings its not on the Market anymore?

ANOTHER EDIT:

So I tried your idea of VISIONary, it installed perfetly to my Android Tablet. I opened the app, and I checked:

-Temproot on boot

-Run visionary.sh after root

-Set system r/w after root

And when I click Temproot now, it will go through the process, but when i open Supperuser, it forcecloses, and if I open ROM Manager, it'll say there is no root found. So then I click Attempt Permanent Root within VISIONary, and a bubble popup shows up and says I need to run Temproot before attempting perm root.

Universal Androot works flawlessly for Temp Root, but is there a way to run commands or something to make in run temp root every time I boot up my Tablet?
