I have a clockwork mod recovery backup (nandroid backup) of a firmware i need to flash (Orange UK) however flash it i need to use odin to repartition. Is this possible to convert a nandroid backup to odin files?

Thanks

For the Samsung Galaxy S btw
[General Questions and Answers] coldflid:
restore the nandroid and follow this tutorial:

You can also run the commands in mobile terminal. Also, skip the zimage, pit and modrm part. And use the packagerom script to make it into a tar. Et param.lfs from the stock rom in which your backup is based, zimage from the kernel you had. Use 512 pit.

Should work fine, it has worked for me

Hi together,

found a really great app called Total Screen Control, that manges Screen Filter usage. For example you can configure which apps will dim and which not and many more. works really well, but on my phone the settings will not be safed.

Would you please try it out, check some boxes, or configure an app and reboot? I got in contact with the developer, but he can´t replicate this. Would like to know if it is a known problem for Darky ROM only, or just my phone itself.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xmsnx:
If you search Darky's thread some people have had this issue before (other apps) and the fix is posted there too. You should really read this post too!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] der_jensn:
Thanks!

I think I got it. I deleted the app. Cleared up dbdata folder for this app. Cleared cache and dalvic cache from recovery. rebooted and installed pro version. Finally settings I made were written into the XML files at dbdata and survived the reboot.

I really happy now. This is one of my favorite apps now.

By the way if touch Wis force closes to no.end you must get another launcher on there and activate it . I used adb to.install adw launcher then went into settings to get to applications. Then find touchwiz launcher apply and force close and clear data. I was stuck for hours figuring this out.

Before I start can I just point out that I have googled til my fingers are sore today. Im posting this after 12hrs of constant head scratching!!

I have decided to have crack at cooking my own ROM. First off I want to strip down the official HTC 1.93 ROM. And then add a few things to it so its just the way I like it!

First off... is there a repository/list of the latest packages? ie AdobePDF, QuickGPS, RSSHub etc? or even a list stating which is the latest release?

How about a list giving a brief description of each oem package?

How can I add apps which aren't in .cab form? ie PIM is my favourite backup app but its not in a .cab... its just the application in a single file.

I'm sure ill have many more hurdles but ill work them out as I get to them!

Many Thanks!

Hi all,

I've got a Samsung Galaxy S I9000, but I don't have the stock Live Wallpapers.

Now I wanna install/do this:

"First place SamsungLWP.zip on the root of your SDcard (plug your phone into your computer and transfer the samsungLWP.zip to your phone's sdcard)

1. Go into rom manager and reboot into recovery

2. scroll down to install zip from sd card and press the power button

3. scroll down choose zip from SD card again hit power button

4. highlight signed SamsungLWPs.zip

5. Hit power button

6. Go back until you get to the reboot option I think back twice Reboot phone

7. go to personalize in setting options select htc wallpapers select live wallpapers and pick one to enjoy one"

I can't do the 2nd step, because there is no choice to select 'install zip from sd card'.

Can anybody help me?

I've got the stock rom (Froyo) and the phone is rooted.

Help would be appreciated (:

nobody?, I really need this now :P
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inglor:
did you fetch cwm?

The instructions assume you have CWM recovery (or a similar tool) on your phone.

In order to install programs in this manner you have to get CWM recovery. (search for rom manager in market and flash cwm (it's the first option from the top),

then again, I'm assuming you're getting this since you're still on 3e (the recovery most galaxy s phones come with). What I'd like you to do is get your phone into recovery mode and tell me what the very first line on the top says.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koenster:
Hi,

The first line says: 'Android system recovery <3e>'
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
theres your problem you need recovery 2e

search for CWM in either update.zip or Flashable Odin version like cf-root.

if you get the update.zip version you need to put it on the root of your internal sd card, boot into recovery and select apply:update.zip you will need to do this twice... then CWM will appear and let you flash unsigned zip files.

if you use odin version just flash it in download mode and when you next boot you will have 2e recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koenster:

Thx everyone
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inglor:
There's your problem :)

You currently do not have the option to install (most) zip files from recovery. If you do want this option it is very possible and not too complicated(although this might void warranty) please read the forum guide on how to get CWM (clockworkmod)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FamousMortimer:

Yes, 3e.

Within the 1.1 update, a method to put NC into "Demo" mode was slipped in. This is intended for store display units to show off features of the NC. It is otherwise useless but I feel like all the ins and outs of the NC should be documented. Its a nifty easter egg and if you are just bored and want to see your NC do something new, here ya go!

Requirements: NC plugged into a power source.

1) Settings->Screen Timeout->2 minutes (length of time optional, but this will be fastest for you to get into demo mode)

2) Settings -> Security. Press and hold VOLUME UP button down. When the VOLUME INDICATOR window pops up, tap the window while holding VOLUME UP down.

3) A new option will show up below "Require Passcode" that lets you toggle Demo mode on and off.

4) Let the 2 minutes pass and watch NC in demo mode.

5) To undo, follow step 2 & 3 and then un-check the box for Demo mode.

6) Resume using NC as you please and try not to ponder why you took time out of your day to do something so utterly pointless.

You should check and compare the dimensions between the MyTouch4g and those other phones. It might fit or it might not.

What kind of evo case did you get?
[myTouch 4G Accessories] xdviper:
How is that possible? The screen size alone makes the Evo a much bigger phone than the MyTouch. The width and length of these two phones won't match and therefore a case would be like trying to put a iPhone in a iPod Nano case.

[Nook Color General] vapor63:
I've seen some comparison made in threads, but most are partial, and while I've looked into Froyo quite a bit, and even made a hack at it, I haven't come to fully understand why I should. So I thought it might be helpful to have a Pro/Con differentiation between the two; why did you go through the effort to Froyo? Why didn't you? I know some have gone Froyo and then back to Eclair. I'll try to edit this post into a list once we have some good comparisons thrown out here.

Alright, after playing with the latest Froyo and looking at this thread so far, the tentative list for newbz0rz to consider is here.

The List:

Froyo 6.6

+Flash (!)

+Higher Benchmark scores, possibly faster in certain ways

+Higher compatibility with certain apps

+Potentially more configurable

+Cut and paste

+JIT compiler (potentially increases speed)

+Launchers behave properly (i.e. add shortcuts)

+Text-to-Speech

-Choppy Flash (!)

-More effort and time (lots more) to setup equivalently capable features

-Higher risk of Nook destruction (although still low)

-Higher risk of lots of work rescuing Nook from the grave/brickyard

-No Nook Color features (i.e. B&N apps, in store access, reader, magazines, etc)

-Buggy-ish sometimes (Unstable) :-(

*-Different users seem to report very different experiences; thus, we'll just call Froyo Inconsistent

-Ignores internal 5GB storage

-Ugly notification bar mis-sizing

1.1.0 Rooted

+Stability (Consistency in a stable experience, compared to Froyo)

+Some claim smoother overall

+B&N "experience" (FWIW)

+magazines, built-in reader for those who prefer it (hint: Aldiko is better)

+Status/Notification bar at bottom with back/menu keys

-Ye Olde Android 2.1

*-No JIT

*-No Flash

-Incompatible with shiny new 2.2+ apps (not very many of those, but still)

-Possibly slower, benchmarks lower

-Dialogs don't display correctly due to B&N system configuration

-Many alternative keyboards don't work properly

-No Cut and Paste

*Evernote was a dealbreaker for me, oddly enough. I use it all the time. Also, 6.6 Froyo broke my ADB somehow, and was a huge pain for very little gain. Gotta love Nandroid. 1.1.0 rooted does 95% of what I want, while Froyo does the 5% it can't do and breaks another 10% of what already worked. But that's just me. I can wait for CM7/ a more stable Froyo before I get flash. Honestly, what flash content do I want to watch on my tablet that I cant use my netbook/desktop for? I'll stop asking questions I don't want the answer to.
[Nook Color General] knaries2000:
The biggest plus for froyo for me was flash content. The negative is Thai it is not as smooth as 1.1.
[Nook Color General] edein:
haven't tried 1.1 yet, but froyo+launcherPro+dolphin browser is as smooth as a phone. also, plus flash content :D
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
It really comes down to this:

Rooted 1.1.0

is for people who want to have the basic(older, no flash) tablet expirence, on a platorm which runs well and requires little to no cmd-line/linux/etc. knowledge.

Rooted 1.1.0 OC'ed to .950/1.0/1.1ghz

only requires a couple hours of development forum reading, a little bravery, and a NC that can handle it.

Nookie Froyo 6.6 OC'ed to 1.0/1.1ghz ON SD CARD

again, only forces you to read the respective threads(twice) and have an available micro SD card(at least class-4 4gb). This is a good method to start out with because if you mess it up, just reflash the SD card.

Nookie Froyo 6.6 OC'ed 1.1ghz INSTALLED TO EMMC

is not over-the-top hard. It just requires a lot of dedicated hours understanding what exactly the flash images are doing to your device. Being comforable while working in cmd-prompt/linux/android-system is a must. Acceptance of the fact that, doing so *can* break your $250 toy.
[Nook Color General] gaming09:
agreed Flash was upsetting otherwise i would of kept it as 1.1 right now i dual boot w/ 66 and 1.1 but using froyo i really only go back to read my magazine subscriptions, and i like the back and menu softkeys setup on the bottom in teh 1.1 not so much in froyo
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
I've yet to see anyone break their $250 doing so. (In fact I don't see how it could break it). Also it doesn't require being fluent in any of those. Can you copy and paste? Okay well then youre set. Also, with people posting builds coming preinstalled with needed apps makes even using the command prompt almost uneeded (the only thing that needs to be pushed is the market).

The real downside to froyo is the lack of the B&N soft-keys on the bottom, meaning there isn't always a back and menu button on screen.

To Sum:

Froyo = Lack of softkeys permanetly there

Eclair = Slower, Lack of Flash
[Nook Color General] cal3thousand:
I tried NF for a little bit. I still have the card sitting somewhere.

For some reason, I don't feel the need to get Froyo on here until I can easily flash it like any other Android device.
[Nook Color General] vapor63:
I seem to remember there were certain compatibility issues along with slower benchmark results on Froyo. Is this no longer true?
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
Not that I know of. Froyo Quadrant scores are a full 400 or so points above eclair.
[Nook Color General] jblues1969:
I've got rooted/OC'd 1.1Ghz 1.1 on mine.

I don't feel the need to go to Froyo.

Once Honeycomb is perfected, though, I am SOOOOOOOO there.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
True, the chances of bricking the nook color are remote. But as you can see from the dev threads, even they have warnings. Because the odds dramaticaly increase when one starts messing with system and boot mounts, or over-clocking the hardware.

The reason why I stressed the understanding of what exactly your doing, when you flash the emmc or uImage, is there are many conflicting/confusing instructions involved If you take things verbatum from threads. I just don't think it's something a novice user should try at the moment. Especialy with the loss of the abilty to do a CWM recovery(I know about the sd images and swaping the cards out to do a backup, others don't, nor have more than one sd card)

Froyo does infact have Back and Menu buttons in the status bar.

you just need to push a couple files found in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=932631

The real problem with nookie Froyo is that it's still not a daily driver. It's buggy(to an extent), it's always being updated(annoying, but part of the fun), and frankly 1.1.0 just runs better.
[Nook Color General] Pinesal:
I am surprised that nobody bothered to mention that with Froyo, currently, you lose the ability to veiw kids picture books, newspapers, and magazines. If you care about any of that stuff, you have to stay with 1.1.0
[Nook Color General] thedjo:
waiting for guys at Cyanogen to release the nightlies for NC
[Nook Color General] lafester:
i tried froyo last night since you can now flash through recovery.

it was a painless install but then i had to get adb running to install gapps and sdcard fix.

after running it for awhile it isn't bad but still not as smooth as 2.1. not sure why people are posting that its faster as it is not. it's little more choppy overall and has hardware acceleration problems when playing movies. as some have mentioned it is annoying not having the navigation buttons without the nook bottom bar.

i am also just waiting for cm7 and i'll say goodbye to eclair forever. it was a breeze restoring back to stock through recovery and will probably try the next update of froyo now that I know what I'm doing.
[Nook Color General] MXIIA:
This is my exact standpoint.

If a Honeycomb (That isn't just the SDK preview) is made for the NC, I will be downloading it.
[Nook Color General] vapor63:
So we've got a working list running for reference; I'm sure some people have more to add? This kind of thing would have saved me a lot of time a few months ago, let alone now with the increase in crazy options.
[Nook Color General] cray1000:
Thanks for this list, its awesome. It helps address the questions.

I am ofcourse going to try froyo since its so easy to do so but I wanted to help decide what was going to be my daily driver, etc.

CM7 is built on 2.3 AOSP right? I am excited to read above that nightlies are coming soon?!?!?
[Nook Color General] ChrisJ951:
The warning are there as a just in case. These roms won't short out any circuits (short of the Overclocking one) and are just standard warnings. Since the NC boots to the SD card first it shouldn't be bricked. In fact if you wish to claim it can brick it then I can equally make a claim nooter will.

You don't need more than one sd card. I only have one and have successfully recovered when I was trying to do some edits myself.

That is actually glitchy and if you read the developer even stated it himself later on. He said instead of releasing a custom ROM to fix the problems he'll just release the source code in case anyone really wants them

Eclair is buggy to an extent as well and on the issue of which runs better we'll have to agree to disagree since we can only have it based on opinion. Froyo has higher quadrant scores, and runs much smoother for me. As for compatability I'll test evernote later, but I dont know of any apps I've tested that don't work in froyo but do in eclair, while theres quite a few 2.2 exclusive apps that obviously won't work in eclair. But for those who can't get apps to work in 2.2 that did in 2.1 might be worth more than those 2.2 exclusives

In the end I would suggest just dual-booting Froyo and Eclair. Theres a simple download over the developers forum's that allows this. You just put it on an sd card, then type one line on your nook and you can test both of them and decide for yourself, while always having one for backup
