Hi I love this theme I just rooted my phone no roms or anything yet still on stock everything am I still able to use this or do I need to download things to make it work? I don't have zip to sd option when I go into recovery.. :(
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] kenesis:
coming soon.

afaik you have to been on a deodexed rom for the theme to work. Also its only for dl30/eb01 so i suggest installing clockwork recovery, and upgrading to EB01 its really worth it imo
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] Trixee:
While I am not planning on rooting my G2 in the near future, I love your theme, nicely done.

I did make use of the wallpaper and thanks for that, it looks great.

Is anyone aware of this as a live wallpaper or of a live wallpaper with the same purple-tattoo graphic feel?

Cheers!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidchenliu:
hi guys i seriously need your opinions. so i thought i bricked my phone last weeks. the phone doesnt turn on and there is no battery charging indicator when plug in the wall while off. so i made a jigg, it worked but some how i got d/c from computer while trying to flash stock. then the phone was completely dead. so i called in ATT and asked for replacement, and now i got the replacement and charged my old battery with this refurbished phone. then i decided to plug it into my old "bricked" phone. i tried jigg again and it worked this time! so i flashed stock and everything works fine now.

Question is, so now i have two captivates, which one should i keep? my "bricked" captivate is 1007 model with no working gps but its NEW. the refurbished is also 1007 but with AMAZING GPS. other than the micro usb door is kinda loose, the refurbished phone looks fine.

any opinions?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
You know your original phone, you can fix the gps. You have no idea what had happened to that refurb
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidchenliu:
how do you fix the gps?? this is one of the reason i want to keep the refurb. if i could fix my old phone, i would definitely keep my old phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Have you flashed roms. Most roms have good gps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TommyZee:
IMO keep the new one. refurbished = ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
If you went through warranty chances are it is a refurb. Like someone else will get your phone eventually
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidchenliu:
so if i decided to keep my old phone, how do i tell the warranty center?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidchenliu:
yea i flashed my roms before Jan 2011, which means it might be out of date. any rom recs? i havent be keeping up with xda since my bricked my phone..

and Thank you guys for your opinions!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Honestly either phone should be fine. I have a refurb and have had no issues.

there are allot of good roms. Personal fav, at the moment us paragon. as I said though there are many good options
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewbDroid:
Hi all,

I have 2.2 running on a Rogers Samsung Captivate. Rooted with SuperOneClick and installed ROM manager. Been trying to get Cognition going, following every set of instructions to the letter multiple times, but the problem is that whenever I reboot in recovery mode I never see the CWM screen. I get a screen with blue and yellow characters, then I select 'reinstall' packages and it always aborts. How do I get to the CWM screen so I can actually apply update.zip and get to Cognition 3?

Thanks so much, any help is appreciated! I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
you should flash CWM recovery on the app, then reboot and then reinstall packages twice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
in the rom manager, make sure you click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" first.

another way is to copy the update.zip to your sdcard root dir, then go to the recovery and reinstall packages twice.

What, if any, mods, themes, boot animations, etc will work on the new (not the alpha) uscc mesmerize froyo rom?

I'm sorry if starting a new thread was the wrong way to ask this, but truth be told I'm sure a lot of people are wondering the same thing, and as of yet there is no information about this.

Thanks in advance, you devs are always quick to respond and knowledgeable. :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
The stock one can't be themed bc it's not deodexed, that will be forthcoming. Once the deodexed one is out we can start porting :)
[Samsung Mesmerize] davidbruington:
...I feel like I should have known that! Haha thank you.
[Samsung Mesmerize] bdemartino:
There is confusion because others try things they shouldn't, like using roms for other phones (fascinate, etc.), which may work in part - but hardly ever do in whole and usually are a pain to work with. Best bet is to stay tuned to the android dev forum, for the new rom that will come out. After that we will be porting away and posting in the theme forum.

I have rooted my vibrant with axura. How do i un-root it so it would go back to stock? or if there is a post like this out there can someone show me the link? thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
why did you unroot?

EDIT: You don't need to unroot if you want to go back to stock...just use Odin

You can also use the one click root tool to unroot.

Information from s15274n
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaetm83:
odin is samsung's proprietary/internal software that can hard flash your device. odin may be used whether or not you have already rooted your device, and it will absolutely clear all your data in your internal sd card. to operate odin, you first need to obtain a rom flashable via odin (usually zipped in .tar file).

alternatively you can revert back to stock kernel/rom while you still have your device rooted. you can obtain a rom flashable via clockworkmod recovery (cwm), a bootloader software that can be installed on a rooted device, and just flash it. once you flashed your device back to stock rom, then you can unroot it so that your device is 100% back to stock.

all rom packages both odin flashable and cwm flashable have kernels, roms and modems in them.

look into sticky threads in this and development forums and you will be able to find detailed instructions on how to flash using either odin or cwm recovery. do some research and get yourself familiarized with the process. it's pretty simple as you've already flashed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WilliamKingX17:
Go download ODIN and browse the forums for the files you will need. There is 512.pit file you will need and you need the JFD.tar file to enter into the PDA section of ODIN. Once ODIN is downloaded open, it's an exec. file. Once ODIN is open turn phone off. Plug USB cable that came with your phone into drive, hold down both Volume Down and Volume Up buttons and plug cable into phone. Display should say Download Mode in Yellow and have Android with a shovel. On your computer you should see in first box a Com Port open up either COM 3 or COM 4, doesn't matter. You should see some check boxes underneath the COM. Check the one for Repartition. Click the .PIT button and search for the 512.pit file you downloaded and click the PDA button and search for the JFD.tar file and click start. It will run through the process and when it's done you will be back to stock like you took the phone out of the box. Any questions and I can email you all the files and instructions.

Hey all I just wanted to give an update, I had a trip from PA to VA on Sunday and used my Gtablet for Pandora and Maps for the entire trip

I used my EVO 4g for internet access Cyanogen Mod 7, tethering enabled.

4 Hour road trip:

Gtablet hooked up with BLueGPS to the external GPS, connected to my head unit in the car, Jensen VM9243 / Bluetooth module, Tethered to my EVO

LOL nothing like having a multipoint network in your car..

out of 4 hours of use I had 3 drops in pandora all less than 20 seconds, and only used 27% battery.

as close to perfect as possible!

Pantera Radio doesn't hurt either.

I've received my gTablet about 2 weeks ago and I *LOVE* it!

I rooted it, modded it (Cyanogen Mod beta 5 / Android 2.3.1), name it!

Everything went fine (ok, maybe not the first time, but I fixed everything).

I've got Flash 10.1, full Market, fixed the audio problem with "audiofix.apk" and EVERYTHING now works perfectly... except for one thing:

I an unable to playback any AVI (DivX) video, but I *was* able last week, before upgrading to Gingerbread (or at least, before applying one of the patches/updates/ROMs), with Twonky, among other things...

Today, I've installed arcMedia and another one (don't remember which, but I uninstalled it anyway) to no avail.

In fact, the SOUND in the video file starts for about half second (or less) and then the file closes itself (but not the player).

NO avi (DivX) video will play on my tablet and I don't know why. I've Googled a bit to no avail (aside from this site, not many sites talk about the gTablet).

I'm pretty new to all this modding thing, but should I (*can* I ?) install codecs? Should I start from scratch? (hopefully not)

Thank you for your help!
[G Tablet General] mooneyb:
Try Vital player from the market.
[G Tablet General] StephV909:
Same problem occurs! Screen seems to flash once as if the video is about to start, then nothing! (And in Vital Player, I get the "All codecs are included" message box after it does that).
[G Tablet General] japhule:
I think it's a problem with gingerbread, it's not quite there yet for the gtab.
[G Tablet General] TheJesus:
Try not using the awful Bittrix build, it breaks a bunch of things when he tries to fix something else. Try beta 1 CM7, my videos work fine in RockPlayer.

Thank you very much!
[G Tablet General] StephV909:
Cleared cache (not data/factory reset), then installed CM7 Beta01 over Beta05and everything went fine, but the problem was NOT solved.

I think I might have to start all over again and ONLY install Beta01...?
[G Tablet General] StephV909:
Ok, I've cleared Data (Factory Reset) and installed VEGAn beta 5.1 instead.

I hate having a lot less icons on my home screen, but at least EVERYTHING works... Sound, Video, Market, Flash... A charm! :)

Keep up the good work, guys!
[G Tablet General] goog64:
You can put icons on your home screen. Just hold down finger on icon and it will move.
[G Tablet General] tekrhino:
ADW or ADW_EX will allow you to have up to a 10 x 10 icon arrangement on your home screens

Mine is current 8 x 8, and even with that many I find no real need for extra homescreens, I'm only using 3 screens now because I ran out of widgets to put up for now *lol*
[G Tablet General] StephV909:
@goog64 : I know how to move icons... ;-) I just didn't know how to increase the "grid" to accept MORE icons under VEGAn, I thought it was because of Froyo. My bad.

@ ALL : Over the past week, I have played a LOT with VEGAn and CyanogenMod and I simply *CANNOT* playback any video with CyanogenMod!

I just don't get it... I use the same players (Vital Player, arcMedia...), but they just won't play any video!

I'm switching back to VEGAn for the time being...

Thank you for your help, everybody!
[G Tablet General] StephV909:
Update : I've installed ROCK PLAYER LITE and it *does* play my videos!

How come arcMedia and Vital Player were unable? (I was told Vital Player had MOST if not ALL required codecs!!)
[G Tablet General] machine73:
For some odd reason my location can never be found. In latitude I have set it manually,as well as automatically using settings and it throws the same error each time. I am running the latest version of maps, so I know it can pull my location from wifi.

Is there a setting I missed somewhere else in the system? It stuck at 1 point but the first time I tried directions, it lost my location on the map.

Any input? is it a bug or just not working w/o GPS?

any help would be appreciated.
[G Tablet General] TeutonicWolf:
The WiFi location doesn't work for some reason -- so GMaps wants to default back to GPS (which the GTablet doesn't have)

Download "Location Spoofer v1.7" or "My Fake Location" from the Market (sometimes they don't show up -- but I posted the APK for Location Spoofer 1.7 in another thread about Google Maps so grab it there if you need it)
[G Tablet General] machine73:
I did manage to get my location locked by using latitude from the PC, using IP location look-up. Now my location shows up on maps on the G-tab but still when I click nearest places, (gas, ATM) etc it still throws location not found.

Gonna try location spoofer now.
[G Tablet General] machine73:
Ok seems like this issue is gonna go on the back burner for a while. Even running location spoofer, it still gives the message "location temporarily unavailable.

Or...it just be a plain simple issue that Montana is falling behind the times and is on Googles (we'll get around to fixing it) schedule.

It's not that I don't know where everything is in town. it would just be nice to have a functioning tool to show off.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Did you flash ClockworkMod Recovery first??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvspencer22:
Either download an update.zip with cwm recovery in the development section or use ROM manager to install cwm.

Then use install from zip in cwm and choose your ROM file from your sd card.

Did install the recovery but the update just wont install when I try to install it from the Tom manager.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WilliamKingX17:
Sounds like you're trying to flash the wrong thing. You shouldn't be flashing an update.zip, that sounds like the root file. Make sure you are flashing the correct .zip

Sent from my Vibrant running GingerCloneR2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chronos7:
the update.zip file is the root file. Whatever rom your flashing will have that name in on the zip file. Follow these steps:go to clockwork recovery mode, install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, then look for rom name on the zip file(example Bionix v5.zip), click on file, click yes, when it's done installing reboot.
[G Tablet General] vballrkc:
Ok I need a good place to start. I've read all the stickies and all he guides and still am a little confused on where to start. Do u root this thing like a phone or what, and I'm confused on the market, why is it not the whole android market?
[G Tablet General] machine73:
Yes, you start w/ a root first. I used Clockwork Mod. it was my first time and everything ran smooth from start to finish. been on my tab for 1 week now and have not gotten bored w/ it 1 bit.

As for the market issue, you need to realize this is a Viewsonic device. They have their own proprietary market app. Browsed around before I did my mod and was NOT impressed w/ anything they had at all.

I followed the steps on this page and have not looked back...

So, root it, install ClockworkMod v.8, flash a ROM.

Of course you need to get to the market from your device to install Z4Root which is not easy on the stock firmware. If you are right out of the box, I'd do 2 and 3 and once you have a custom firmware up and running with the marketplace fix, do 1....

The non-uniform market is the biggest clufter suck I've seen in a while. I realize not everything can run the same apps but at least let me SEE the apps if I can't run them. Hell, it might make some people upgrade their hardware.
[G Tablet General] 999ping:
I think it would be better if Google visually indicated which devices (or families of devices) each app was known to be compatible with and give us an option to view everything available and choose for ourselves.

Most paid apps also have a free version so we could try them out with nothing to lose and simply uninstall if they don't work on our device. Heck, we could even add to the list of compatible devices for the app if we find it works: free community testing effectively.
[G Tablet General] TheKaz:
I've spent a few days now, trying this and the titanium backup method over and over again trying to get the full market.

I've never been able to get all the apps I wanted (e.g. simiclock, angry birds, yahoo mail), but after watching this video, I tried one of the sample apps he used (pandora), and I am seeing it.

so, do I have the "full market"? If so, is there anyway to get more apps (i.e. the ones I mentioned above).

Thanks!

Captivate 2.2.1 Paragon
[Vibrant General] checktheemails:
I overheard a dude at work who is looking to get his first smartphone (on AT&T)that he was probably going to give-in and get an iPhone.

I asked him why he wanted the iPhone and he said because no other phone out there can touch it from his impression.

I asked him what it had that other phones out there didn't have and he obviously didn't do his homework yet, though he still had already developed the "desire" to get the iPhone. I know it's because of advertising, but the real thing was I couldn't nail down exactly why an Android phone would be better, or even what phone would trump it on AT&T...

The Captivate doesn't have a front facing camera which I believe is kind of necessary to really stack up against Apple's phone.

Anyone have any simple advice I can give this guy to stay away from Apple? He is obviously not that smart on phones, so I know he is adverse to custom ROMS unless I can convince him otherwise. Thanks.
[Vibrant General] sublimnl:
Let him get what he wants unless you wanna have to hear him complain when he can't figure this or that out or if this app is not available. Less stress for you down the line. To each his own.
[Vibrant General] itsjusttim:
True, android only better if you give it a chance and willing to play around.
[Vibrant General] Mel_:
If he really wants the iPhone, he should get the iPhone.

If he isn't really sure what he wants, I would suggest that he go to the store and try out different phones in person. Sometimes a phone isn't what you expect when you finally get to play with it.

Also, I think if you're going to upgrade, make sure there are at least 2 phones you're interested in. In case you hate your first choice, you can take it back during the return period and exchange it for your second choice.
[Vibrant General] checktheemails:
Thanks, good advice.
[Vibrant General] Drewstein:
I would only try and direct him away from locking in on a contract on an iPhone that's been out 6+ months when the next iPhone is right around the corner. May as well lock in on a brand new device to get the most out of it.
[Vibrant General] Mannymal:
He should get the iPhone. It's a great phone and perfect for people who dont know how or dont care to modify their phone.

I prefer my Vibrant and wouldnt trade it for an iPhone 4G, but thats me, and I understand that for most people out there an iPhone is better, even if only because it makes them feel good to have the fashionable bling. To each his own.

-edit-

Agree with the poster above. Convince him to wait a few months for the next iPhone.
[Vibrant General] da_dragon2k3:
That is the best advise possible. My coworker fell in love with my vibrant and wanted the equivalent on verizon. Since then every day there is new questions. I like helping people, but not a single day goes by wiouth something new to ask me. Be prepared for that.

I would let him know about a little phone coming out next week-ish called the Motorola Atrix w/ its dual-core awesomeness. Otherwise let him follow the cult of jobs.
[Vibrant General] hazard99:
I think the op just really wants to show him that there are other phones out there just as good as the iphone.

I know a co-worker of mine felt the same way and after talking with him he has now decided to go with the htc thunderbolt.

[Vibrant General] engineer14:
if he has his heart set on an iphone, do not try and convince him, because if you make all these arguments of android being greater (and since he does not know his way around a phone), he is going to get a captivate, probably with android 2.1 + lag + gps problems + w/e other problems it came with, and i doubt he would know how to flash a new rom etc.

Then you will be 'that bastard that convinced me to throw away $200 plus my upgrade', and then one day he will climb up you window with a chainsaw (or machete if he is not that strong) and ....
