[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
Not sure if the kernel source has even been made available to the awesome devs we have while I was considering/searching for BNL for froyo.

Has the kernel been made available and if so has anyone looked at what it would take to implement BLN?

If not, whatever, I can wait a little longer.... and if Samsung has their way.... 2 years till my contract ends.

[Fascinate General] Kevin Gossett:
The source likely won't be released until the update is official and pushed out
[Fascinate General] solido888:
There is a post in dev section about kernel source being built for the fascinate from the i9000 source. It is alpha at the moment.
[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
I don't see an official source being released until months after the OTA.

I did see that the i9000 alpha was release yesterday or the day before. While I don't understand all of what was said the basic principle is that there are problems with the video drivers and/or modules.

Worth a shot to ask though since I am not sure if BLN is baked in or is a loadable module?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
It is baked into the kernel drivers for the touchkeys. Until SirGatez/birdman/someone get the i9000 source working, there can't really be any modifications done that require modifications to kernel source. The only other option would be Samsung releasing the source that we need, but that is likely not going to happen first, and will probably be about a month or so after the release of Froyo is official.
[Fascinate General] Terror_1:
Well I guess that answers that. Certainly wish them the best of luck within the i9000 source. Now off to hate/bash the samsung representative fellow lurking around.

Got an AT&T flipout. Motoblur is horrible, otherwise a solid phone. I've had trouble finding a WORKING rooting guide on here. Has any one successfully flashed or rooted the flipout in the US?

Any help?

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tin2404:
Some things you should concider to think about before flash WP 7 !

This is just some of WP7 dissapointments which I experianced and why to revert back to WM 6.5 :

1. Activation stuff from MS ( I do not wont and do not need to "activate" to somebody my allready expensive HD2 device).As I read on net,Microsoft will have new activation policy in next WP7 phone update,so,nether WP7 modded ROM would not be safe to install.

2. Navigation looks like that children make it..Navigon is far primitive compared to Igo Primo.Lacks and mistakes are everywhere throughout it,very slow,not precise,no way to customise it...etc.etc.

3. Every kind of application has to be signed before any use or installation.

4. Zune software and bunch of unneccessery "addons" which comes in so called "Windows developer tools" to run from PC.You need to install Microsoft Expression,Zune,Microsoft games for marketplace,Microsoft Silverlight,3,4 SDKs,Visual studio Express..etc.etc.etc

5. Lack of easy access to documents,PDFs,files.Device become "Iphon-ised" and very "dummy".So,expensive device become dummy device.

6. Every kind of sync and use needs various hacks and registry modds.

7. Camera images looks like made by cheap 20$ idiot cameras.

8. No support for flash videos in browser.So,no Youtube.

9. Lack of "real" mighty programs....(I presume that it will be partialy fixed as time goes by)

10. No sharing SD cards between devices...

etc...etc...etc...

If you have to add something that I forget,please do and help to other users who are in doubt to flash WP7 or not.

Sorry but you cant see the future my friend .
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] washpota:
1. You will have activation issues when you try to run the OS on a non-supported phone. You ventured into it, so you have to deal with it.

2. For a 4 month old platform, WP7 is reasonably stable and bug free. Nothing, compared to the number of issues I had with my iPhone 2G.

3. Isn't that a good thing for a consumer-oriented device?

4. Zune, yes. Windows Dev Tools? NO. You have to deal with it because you want to unlock and sideload apps. That isn't a fault of WP7.

5. What is meant by "easy access"? I had been able to download a 1000+ page PDF doc and open in Adobe reader.

6. NO. Registry is not for you. If it was, MS would have built in a registry editor in WP7.

7. The pics I clicked were no different than the ones I clicked with Android. Yes, the shutter sound is irritating.

8. There is a YouTube app. No, two. One from HTC too.

9. I presume that it would be "fully" fixed as time goes by.

10. How many times would you want to use a $10 SD card in shared mode?

You sound very bitter for someone trying to use software you dont have permission to use on a device that is unsupported, you clearly havent used the device much anyway and by the sounds of it you havent done very well with "cracking" it either because youtube is available on the marketplace or im sure if you look hard enough you will find some XAPs, is it Microsofts fault that you cant read instructions on some random website detailing step by step how to get this on your OLD HD2?

Please calm down take a brake and rename this thread because it is infact YOU that is creating confusion to people that might buy this OS.

Windows Phone 7 has had some storm of Missinformation and bad PR based on untruths and incompertance, you are feeding this with this utter nonsense
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
+1

Agreed.

WP7 is VERY good for the first release of a new OS. I was seriously amazed by it. Can't wait for updates with multitasking and new features, and for when the homebrew community delves deeper in and we figure out more ways of customizing it.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tictac0566:
Virtually all "lacks" of WP7 were officially known from the very beginning.

A disappointment is nothing else but a logical consequence if you start trying the new OS if you think it should have been "perfect" from scratch.

There are quite a few buyers of native WP7 devices with the same attitude, that´s something I completely don´t understand.

Considering the flawless port of WP7 to HD2, my first thoughts after installing WP7 were quite different: I never had any first release (of whatever OS on any smartphone I ever owned) which was even close to the smoothness and bugless functionality of WP7 on HD2. Yes, the camera app function is crappy, but then again, there is already an alternative solution from the devs.

We should be happy that thanks to devs, it was (and is) possible to run a trial on our current hardware for free - there is no other device on the market which has the power to offer the same.

I guess quite a few users will go for a native WP7 device sometime in the future, others will decide for Android, or iOS, whatever. But the good thing is, you can do it having had the chance to test over weeks or months.

And that´s the good thing about HD2: It will be my electronic companion for quite a few more months, most probably for a total of 2 years. No other smartphone was good for me for so much time ever before. My guess is that for the rest of the time, I will be doing more trials with Android and WP7, while WM 6.5 is a nice fallback solution.

Oh, and btw, Navigon Select runs nicely here. It is a basic version. The full one will only come during this summer, I was told by them.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] zarathustrax:
But it doesn't run as good on the HD2... touchscreen doesn't work as well on hd2. Once the registry is known more and native devices start getting custom roms, it'll probably run faster on native phones.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] bleui:
It's not just a matter of performance sir
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] orangekid:
that's such a weak argument, is virtually the same thing.

I have not experienced anything on my HD2 that an HD7 wouldn't do exactly the same except at times multi-touch goes weird. Any of the custom ROMs have most issues solved and have the registry edits cooked in, so all you have to do is flash and enter your activation code, just as if you hard-reset a native WP7 device.

WP7 is nice and smooth and I like it and I'm very happy to be able to use it on my phone, but till Mango drops it does have some issues that are OS-wide that prevent me from using it as a total daily without booting into Android from SD at times. That's not a knock though, I'm amazed MS put together a product like this for a first release. After the Mango update we will have more apps, more games, more custom ROMs with probably ability to totally change the UI if we want.

and @ OPs opinion that:

what the hell does that even mean? you provide no evidence to this, just some nebulous claim that you "read on net." We all have activation keys and MS has no idea who has an HD7 or an HD2, so it's not like they can just stop allowing access to the Marketplace. They have been totally cool about giving us keys, but for some arbitrary reason will change that after an update? The HD2 crowd are buying apps and hyping up the OS, with seemingly no security issues at all, I haven't seen any pirated apps...

most of the OP's points are pretty worthless and flashing any of the custom ROMs eliminate any reg hacks or unlocking or anything.

I must admit im a firm follower of WM6.5 and i was very reluctant to change to WM7. Ive had WM7 on my HD2 now for 2 weeks and im really starting to get into it alot more. Now that i have activated marketplace with Microsoft (which by the way was an absolute piece of piss) ive got pretty much all the apps that i used on WM6.5 apart from my Garmin XT which i miss, but im sure someone in the coming months will sort it out. You should re-flash it back to your phone, Activate it and get used to syncing with Zune. You will get into it fella. Its mint.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] TheOnly1:
LOL. Same here. I even got a new SD card in order to dual boot with Android. The result is that I booted Android only 2-3 times...mostly to show off to some ppl how great a device the HD2 is and how funny their iPhones are in comparison :D WP7 is my daily OS and will stay there. It just works and I don't really miss much of my soft back in the WM6.5 days. To be honest my last WM6.5 ROM had only the following:

1. iGo Primo

2. Resco File Explorer 2010

3. Skype

Now I have:

1. Navigon

2. TouchXplorer

3. Nothing for Skype, but I can live without it.

4. Some amazing XBox Games

5. The best e-mail client ever made for a phone...and I use e-mail a lot on my phone and the first one to let me download a 10 MB attachment!

I flashed my HD2 to WP7 about 2 weeks ago and I have to admit I almost flashed back within a few hours to WM6.5 but I stuck with it and now love it.

It's super fast and stable. I have had no issues of any sort with the day to day use of the phone. Some things that are killing me though are lack of multi-tasking, not being able to use as a mass storage device and tethering. These things need to get fixed! But I will still use WP7 in the mean time because I <3 it more every day I use it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BQ Ninja:
Hi all. I'll try and make this quick.

I went to make a Nandroid backup of my phone after having flashed the newest CM7 nightly build a day or so ago. It was being pretty unstable (lots of force closes), so I decided to switch back to the ROM I had been using before, Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo. Rather than doing it the way I normally by booting into recovery and running the backup there (I know, that's my first mistake), I ran the backup from ROM Manager. The phone rebooted into recovery, began the backup, but then rebooted again, went into recovery and started the backup again (I'm not 100% sure if it had restarted the backup or continued it from a previous point), and then did this one more time. Then it turned off and wouldn't turn on again. When I plug the phone in, no lights come on. I haven't taken the battery out (the last shutdown was about 15 minutes ago). I had about 50% battery life, and the backups never took up more than 5 or 10%, so I'm fairly sure it didn't die in the process.

So, the question is: Am I bricked?

Search XDA for "fun with resistors"

It's not at the resistors only.

I installed a third party USB charger as mounting socket in my car, so that you can charge any USB device by using the USB cable only.

While using the original Samsung USB cable the i9000 switches immediately to the car dock application. So it seems that the Samsung recognizes that kind of electricity as "car owned". Don't why or if - but it works like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Tehpriest:
As so many handsets are using the same way to trigger the dock it may be that your car charger is already pre wired with the resistor..
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] stepsch:
Interesting. Never given a thought that such cheap socket has more inside than 2 power cables. Mh ... analyzing the charger inside means dismantling the cars interior again - not in that mood.

Any suggestions on avoiding this on Cognition ROM!!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlbryan24:
With force closes you can try to uninstall or reinstall the app, or reflash the rom. Make sure you don't have a lagfix active when you flash. For your clock app I would backup using titanium backup, uninstall clock and then restore the clock. Just my suggestions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingmaker1985:
Thanks for the suggestion. Can u briefly explain how to enable lagfix and reinstall clock application.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Cognition's default behavior is to enable the lagfix on it's first boot so you really don't need to worry about that. As for reinstalling the clock app, open the zip file you used to install Cognition and go to the system/app directory, pull out the clock apk, and then drop it onto your phone in the same directory.
