[Galaxy Tab General] myshinynewtouch:
I have a tmobile galaxy tab running on Roto JMI v2, and I dont have any cellular/data connection now. I have a winmo phone where I have wi-fi router installed which has internet available.

My galaxy tab can never see the wireless network which is being broadcasted by my winmo phone. I know my phone is doing the right thing as I can connect my laptop to it and surf the internet, but my galaxy tab does not see it.

I tried adding it manually, but still no connection.

Did anyone face this problem? Is it something to do with winmo phones?
[Galaxy Tab General] TheGrammarFreak:
I bet it's an ad-hoc network, you'll need to edit wpa_supplicant.conf
[Galaxy Tab General] rjansen110:
Not Winmo specifically, but ADHOC networks in general. Had to replace the WPA_supplicant with one that would allow adhoc connections. I've done that and it works fine. Might be the same issue.

There is a topic on this board about connecting your GTAB to a OG Droid or Droid X and it has the links to the file and the process...

Have a new Captivate about 1 week old. Stock setup

Want to load the Samservmode app but when I research it I see the warning of "check if you are on rom s with the service mode installed" Can someone tell me how to find that info on the phone. Have checked the *#*#4536#*#*

Also, on some articles am seeing references to build level of the phone or ROM ...... can that information be found in the same location as the rom as above?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] n1ghtl1fe:
Thanks to god and amazing devs we got 4g on our evo's now while on cyanogen. I can go back to it without feeling like im wasting $9.99 a month haha

I never really have used launchers before and all i see are these screen shots with ppl and all these amazing clocks and other widgets. I was wondering if any of you guys wanted to post your favorites or ones youve used or are using.

Figure this would be a nice place to show a little on your setup without having to type a paper explaining it all.

Thanks guys
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Greenfieldan:
I'm personally a fan of SimiClock and Mnimalist Text :) But check out the LauncherPro and ADW EX screenshot thread for more ideas. Also, my blog has a post on minimalistic widgets if that's your thing :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheSilverStig:
Yea when I use aosp I used beautiful widgets because of how many options they have. There is a live wall paper clock that is pretty nice, if I wasn't on my phone I could tell you the exact name of it. It's on xda somewhere it was in one of the news articles.

Swyped from my Evo on steroids.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likiud:
I read as much as I can about installation of a custom ROM. I think I'm confident enough to do it now, but I just want someone to review these steps before I start.

I have a Rogers I896 currently running the stock froyo that I upgraded via Kies with a build 10.10.

Because this is on a build 10.10 I can't follow the steps vertabim with the guide in the android development forum.

1. Root with SuperOneClick

2. Titanium Backup

3. Use Odin3 v1.7 or later to restore to stock with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905042 and the 512 pit file. (I understand this is unnecessary as I'm already stock, but in case I need to revert back to stock from a custom ROM, this is what I'll do)

4. Reroot with SuperOneClick

5. Get the ROM and put it in the root of the phone

6. Download ROM Manager and install Clockwork Recovery

7. Boot into recovery and install zip from SD card and choose the zip file that I downloaded.

8. Titanium Backup to restore

Please let me know if I'm missing something. I think I read something about Nandroid backup somewhere in the forums. I'm not exactly sure what that is and it didn't really say that in the guide. Should I do that and how do I perform that?

I'm thinking about installing either Paragon, Serendipity, or di11i. Perhaps someone can also maybe list some differences, issues, pros and cons about these ROMs.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
your steps are good enough for you to flash to a new rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] integrasaurus:
You may have trouble with installing Clockwork. If you do, follow this link.

Also, once you reboot into clockwork, remember to do a backup of your current ROM and move it and your TiBu backups to your HD. Clearing your cache before you install your new ROM isn't a bad idea either ;)

Goodluck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likiud:
Is clearing cache done in the clockwork recovery? I notice an option for "clear download cache" from Rom manager. Is that the same thing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apparition:
I started on Rogers stock 2.2.

Used superoneclick to root. Installed rom manager. Used a script to modify my recovery 3e file. Rebooted into recovery. Flashed cwm. Installed my custom rom.

Pretty awesome.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrahamSX:
Hey I don’t mean to hijack/bump the thread but I’ve got an I896 which I’m attempting to flash a custom ROM onto, but I’m a complete phone newbie and could use some assistance when it comes to clarifying some instructions. This thread seemed to be the most “laid out” instruction guide for the I896 which I could find.

Currently my phone is running 2.2 Froyo / I896UXJL1 / Kernel 2.6.32.9 which I got via Kies early January when the update was released by Rogers.

I downloaded SuperOneClick 1.7 and rooted it without problems, but that’s as far as I’m clear/comfortable.

1.	Do I need to use Odin (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=905042) to restore to stock? Since I’m on the default Rogers technically that is already stock, no? Can I simply continue on from where I am?

a.	If I don’t need to use Odin, do I need to make a backup with titanium?

2.	Does step 6 of the OP’s list simply involve hitting the “Flash ClockworkMod Recovery” option in ROM Manager v3.0.1.0?

3.	After that is it simply a matter of downloading my ROM of choice (Serendipity 5.12) and putting the .zip into my root folder, booting into recovery via the “Reboot into Recovery” option in ROM Manager, and then selecting to install the ROM .zip file?

4.	Is my above three points everything I need to know or is there anything else I should know/be considered?

Also, when rooting I simply turned USB debugging on, ran the two .exe’s in order and then hit root after plugging in my phone. Was I supposed to go into download mode or anything or is that only for other modes of rooting (I have superuser installed and titanium backup was able to get root access so I assume my phone rooted properly).

That being said, I’ve read a ton of threads and a ton of stickies but things tend to seem either old/outdated or focusing on the AT&T i897, with there being limited information on a newbie friendly “explain all” way from A to B for the i896, unless I missed it. Some mention rooting with X, and using path ABC to root/flash a custom rom, and others mention rooting with Z and using patch DEF to do the same; all of which have left me feeling uneasy about flashing. ><

I'd be more then happy to provide any information in which I may have left out, and would appreciate any help I can get as I'm more then enthusiastic about flashing my first custom ROM but would like have the knowledge to do it right instead of being left with a brick. Yes, I know it seems almost all "bricked" captivates are unbrickable, though I would prefer to avoid that road at all costs either way haha.

I'm curious to know why not to restore system data?

Is "missing apps with data" ok to restore?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Restoring system data messes things up. Restore "missing apps with data" only. no system data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aww.W.T.F?:
If you restore system+data your home screen will fill up with force closes faster than you can clear them out, I know this Because I did it...twice, this is where my aww.W.T.F? sig came from. Don't panic if this noobish brain fart happens to you, just re-flash the rom and only restore missing apps+data as studacris said and enjoy.
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbyjimmy:
I was wondering if anyone can tell me if swapping out the card to a class 6 will improve the image quality for pics and vids???

thanks
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nissan350:
Class 6 cards are not compatible. Currently, the best route would be a class 2 Sandisk. There are a few other brands that work but Sandisk has been certified to work.

Even if class 6 was compatible, the class of the card has nothing to do with the quality of your media. Classes categorize cards by how fast they can read/write. Adding a higher class card will not make your device go from 720p recording to 1080p recording.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Is there any way to get my Captivate to stick to 850 band only, and not switch to 1900. I live in an area where I have 3G coverage on both bands.

Edit: I can get to this using SGS tools, but that would be only till a restart. Any way to get this to stick permanently until disabled.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethelight:
Go to the phone dialer and put in *#2263# from there you can select what band you want. To check if it took, type *#0011#

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
The moment I set to 850 its switching from 3g to edge. Strange. Cos when on 3g mode its always been on 850, atleast 80% of times
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoman94:
Thats one thing the bugged me is that this phone ... AT&T version anyways.... loves to camp on 1900mhz more and would be fine if it would switch to 850 when needed..... alot of time I would be at -111db and still on 1900 when 850 in the same are would be at -103db.

I enable 850 that way but once you reboot... you need to do it again.....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Technically, the lower band should have lower signal strength reducing radiation. Plus should be using less battery power. That is why I am seeing how to get to 850.

Anyways, I think I'll leave it how it is.

Create a new folder (select setting and the icon is listed)

now click the manage files button on the bottom

select all the files you want to move.

select the copy button and then navigate to the folder

Select paste.

go back to the original location and reselect the files and select Delete.

Done...

Just tried to flash a rom and the phone rebooted and when it came back I have no market at all. I press on the market icon and I get a note saying to send a message and report it. I am freaking out.

[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
Did you flash a gapps (Google apps) package?
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Yeah, you need to flash a Google Apps zip. Roms don't come with them, or well, some do, but technically that isn't legal and Google doesn't like it.
[Nexus One General] XSafire:
did you do a nandroid?

And here, not sure how these work on a non cm7 rom, but you can give it a go.

http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/

The universal dpi for cm7 might work. You would probably need to wipe your phone

cm6 hdpi might be your best bet
[Nexus One General] vinnyjr:
I did a back up and my rom never flashed due to the new recovery I used on rom manager. My original rom (stock with root obviously) came back with al my google apps but the market. I DL the market thru my browser but my phone will not allow the download. Tried going into recovery but the new recovery I dl thru rom manager will not allow me to use my back up or the other roms I have on my sd card. When I go into recovery I get the triangle and the little guy, I hit the power button and volume up and go into this weird looking recovery that doesn't allow what I need.

Help me I'm screwed I think. I think the new recovery I dl screwed me all up.

Vinny
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Put the old recovery on it then, and restore your nandroid.

If you ended up with stock, you may have lost your root. So root again and install the recovery that you made the nandroid with.
[Nexus One General] XSafire:
I'm a bit confused.

It looks like you're using the stock recovery. Somehow you corrupted flashing a recovery.

You're far from screwed. If you can flash clockwork 3.0 from ROM manager. If that doesn't work, try this.

http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/15/how-to-flash-a-new-recovery-image-if-you-are-already-rooted/

I would advise using clockwork, as it has tight integration with ROM manager. Here's the download for that.

http://mirror1.kanged.net/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-2.5.1.4-passion.img

IF you lost root, you're going to have to go through a lengthy process. Let me know if you need help.
[Wildfire General] Zeiin:
Hi !

As you know, there are many ROMs for the WF, and I'm a bit lost in front of all those choices.

So, according to you, what is the better (faster and smoother) custom ROM based on Sense ?

Thanks a lot ! :)
[Wildfire General] daddyspud:
Easyest way is just to try them for a few days n c which is better
[Wildfire General] xyzisahero:
if you are just looking for a custom SENSE rom ... WildPuzzle is the best ... :)) ... its stable ... by d way you still gotta overclock ... it smoothes everything ...
[Wildfire General] ephbee:
it all depends what you want, each rom has little things others don't, and thats part of the deal, finding which rom suits you best, i use wildpuzzle which i love and i've had a quick play with daddy spuds rom which is impressive too.

horses for courses, as the old saying goes:D

and remember nandroid backups are your friends
[Wildfire General] wuen2001:
I have used leaf r3 and its prettty good. But wildpuzzle is definitely recommended.
[Wildfire General] -Howard-:
Well as you can see from my sig i use SUnAaBh rom :) its very fast and smooth whether you overclock or not :) its nice and simple and it has an improved battery life is you ask me especially over the stock roms :)

But it you want a slightly more customizable rom wildpuzzle is good but i would go for v0.7 over v0.8 unless you want a transparent lock screen.

SUnAaBh link im my sig :) it includes the latest radio in it aswell which is a good thing ;)

Hi,

Can someone make a launcher with the notification bar transparent? I just noticed that the "burn-in" problem for blue background is real. I used Jscreen for 6-7 hours and 90% percent of "burn-in" problem was fixed, but It will be nice to have a transparent notification bar. This way the "burn-in" problem won't be an issue.

PS: To check if you have "burn-in" problem enter "LCD Test Mode" by dialing *#0*# then choose "red", "green" and "blue". Check the notification bar area.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daneshm90:
Wrong section to ask a question seeing as we already have a question/answer forum

How does this technically fix the degradation ??

EDIT:

"Removes burn-in by equalising screen usage. "

This probably means degrading the entire screen with the hopes that the degradation will match on the burned out area :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gw0:
Degradation can be stopped with lower brightness, right? With apps like Screen Filter.

Hm... On the other hand, what has brightness to do with colors? On classic LCDs - nothing, hm...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coradux:
I really don't think so because with Jscreenfix it's the same pattern on whole screen. If it's about degradation then pixels already damaged will be damaged more, so the difference between pixels degradation will be the same.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TerraBuzz:
For this issue, I'm using this combination:

1. Use another launcher. I'm using ADW, and activate the 'Hide Notification Panel' option.

2. Activate the 'Full Screen Mode' in my browser. This will hide the notif panel while browsing. I'm using Opera Mobile.

3. Get rid the clock in the notif panel. I'm using the PaulDiddy's theme to do that. Then I use widget to display the clock.

4. Reduce the screen brightness to minimum as much as possible.

5. Any other ways that prevent too many appearence of bright static pixels will help to reduce the burn in issue getting worse.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
TBH, I dont see how having a transparent bar will help vs a black bar, infact having a transparent bar will degrade it significantly faster vs black.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coradux:
The problem is with pixels from inactive region of the notification bar, so it seems that degradation results from inactivity. A transparent bar will put them to work so they will not degrade anymore.

PS: the colour of the notification bar isn't 100% black, it's grey or 90% black, so maybe it's better to say Static Pixels instead of Inactive Pixels. In both cases activity seems to make them recover.

PPS: The third PNG looks more like the actual "burn-in" (the difference between colors isn't so big though).
