Hell yes. Love the feeling of removing all things samsung from my phone... on the toilet or not.

Hello and welcome to doodiefone. For information on showtimes press phtttttttttt.
[Captivate General] ballz0iron:
i totally feel you on this one. although i usually flash a rom, and then spend the next day in my boring classes playing with it
[Captivate General] jlbryan24:
For me there is nothing better than flashing a rom, and after anxiety waiting for it to boot for what seems like an eternity, those start up tips and home screen finally pops up :)
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
The only reason that I don't like flashing is that it disconnects the SNS syncing between my phone and Facebook contacts, something that I have to re-enable manually due to (enough of) my friends using nicknames or aliases on Facebook that don't automatically sync. That and fixing my launcher/ringer settings means each flash is about 1.5 hours of work.
[Captivate General] mprinceiii:
the entire culture of ROM flashing has kinda taken me over. i sometimes get flack from it from friends, but they don't own Androids and they all own iPhones so they wouldn't even have any idea that a phone can be this customizable ;]
[Captivate General] Coak5:
Most Iphone 4 owners think their phone is the best and that's their opinion. Personally I do not like the fact that Apple does not support customization to any of their products such as using Itunes to sync, upload, download between any of their products which does become very frustrating. Android phones seem to have an infinite amount of customizations that Iphones COULD have but because Apple likes to do things their way and ONLY their way, their customers and users will never see the light of day that we Android users experience.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
It beats the hell out of running the crap stock firmware that Samsung and AT&T think is ok for this phone.

[Fascinate General] gabenoob:
Hi, so I'm running eb01 superclean v2.3 non voodoo and something weird keeps happening with my recovery.

I had originally had DL30 superclean 1.0 on the phone, and whenever I rebooted into recovery, it would give me the blue, (default?) recovery screen

I used the instructions found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=951194

and got a red CWR still in the DL30 rom, then I flashed the rom found in that thread.

Then, I wanted to install superclean 2.3 on the phone, so I rebooted into recovery, and the blue(default?) recovery was on yet again, so I reinstalled the CWM files from the thread I linked and went through the process again, and got superclean 2.3

Now, when I reboot into recovery it is blue once again! Do I have to keep doing those instructions every time I try flashing a new rom? Thanks!

-Gabenoob
[Fascinate General] RacerXFD:
It's normal as of right now. I think it has to do with how ROM Manager boots into recovery. You're better off an explanation from jt or Adrynalyne.

The best way around this is to shut down. Then hold the sound keys to get into recovery.
[Fascinate General] gabenoob:
Thank you!
[G2 and Desire Z General] cberbes:
This may be a stupid question....especially since I have rooted and changed ROMs on my other Android phones.

The only reason I typically root my phones is to get the newer versions or features of new OS releases when the phone in question appears to not be getting any new updates. I rooted and installed many different ROMs on my G1 and MyTouch Slide. I'm currently running CM6.1 on my Slide, and love it.

To me I don't want to root and run a custom ROM on my G2 simply because it's already fast, and has pretty much all the features I want. BUT, I would like to be able to have root access, delete stock apps, and have the extra control that root gives me. But I don't want to deal with the (small) bugs associated with custom ROMs. I have tried VISIONary, but even with terminal emulator and titanium backup, I can't delete the stock apps permanently.

Is there a full on STOCK rom, with NO bugs or issues that can be installed after root? I don't want to change the OS, I just want root access so I can permanently remove stock apps and have general root control.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Heres a LINK to a stock rooted OTA ROM. Description of the ROM: "This is the stock rom post OTA. added root (su and superuser.apk) as well as modified ramdisk (ro.secure=0) and busybox. Also zip aligned apps to optimize ram usage. there is odex (stock) and de-odex versions".
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
Question regarding that. I noticed you said it adds root (su and superuser.apk), Im already rooted so wouldnt that be on any ROM I install (including stock). Also I noticed in the link it links to Pershoots OC kernel, I thought you couldnt use that on a stock ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Just cause your s-off doesn't mean the rom you are running will have su access, superuser and su are usually cooked into all custom roms but it doesn't mean it always has to have it, the description on this rom is its stock ota with superuser app and su built into it.

The link takes you to a stock rooted rom with a stock kernel thread and has the option to use an oc/uv kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Depending on how you perm-rooted, your stock ROM that you first rooted on will probably have superuser.apk and full su access. If you're happy with how all your root-specific apps run then you're fine. You don't necessarily have to flash a custom ROM to get full functionality. I was in the same boat as you and ran stock rooted 2.2 on my Evo for a long time. All i wanted root for was wireless tether and titanium backup, didnt care about everything else.

Basically what I'm saying is that if you're perm-rooted and have superuser permissions and you uninstall your stock apps and you're happy, theres no need to flash a new ROM.
[G2 and Desire Z General] C.Flat:
You need s-off to properly uninstall the bloatware applications if i recall correctly
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] rhamej:
For CM6, Kaosfroyov39, has any one successfully changed the alignment of the text on the lock screen?

I'd like to center align the clock, and move the message text up about 50px. The text that says "Sound on/Sound off".

The closest thing I found was a thread in the Hero forum where some one added custom text below the date. I can't find the link on my phone right now.

I farted around with the XML file they mentioned, but it didn't change a thing :-/

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
Only the CM team does. I wanted to fool around with some eye-candy.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osugsxr:
read a few reasons before.....all I do now a days is just download the rom directly from the phone. Move the file to root of sd card and go ahead flash away. Works out well for me, if any issues just nandroid back to previous.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kline:
You would have to ask the devs of specifics ROMs you are interested in directly. Maybe they are too busy to support integration in a 3rd party app? Maybe they don't want their ROM to be "that" point-and-click as it would cause even more support requests than they already receive?

No one knows but them. Really, it's not hard to download a zip (even from your phone browser!), reboot to recovery, and hit flash. :)

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duffy1807:
[Q] Is the Volume down button "some how" on the same circuit as the charging d.c Plug

Had problems with my X10 for months now and is gradually getting worst..

First, it wouldnt charger, i now have to put sum tension upwards, or wrap the cable around my x10, for my to be able to charge my phone.

Now the volume down button "intermits" Works then does not Works then does not .... Found out when I had it on charge, It would work all the time, I take it off charge it stops working ... But then works after a short while , off charge .. "wierd"....

And now.. My phone has just become a self charging phone with any cables plugged in :D ... The LED light illuminated, has the battery status began its animation to charging.. Wierd !! Phone has not been in water, or dropped in very good condition... My theory on this , is because ive been applying preasure on the lead upwards on the phone, for sum time now ...

Will send it to Sony Erriccson . and they should hopefully repair / swap the phone.

p.s Could it be a battery fault ???

t.y :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
I just read an article here: http://www.anandtech.com/show/4179/ti-omap4-and-lg-optimus-3d-tested

The LG Optimus 3d uses the same SGX 540 graphics that our SGS uses. BUT it is clocked at 300mhz vs our 200mhz AND it uses an updated driver. With these improvements, early benchmarks show it beats the tegra 2 and the quad-gpu in the SGS II. Of course these benchmarks don't tell the whole story, but I still find it interesting. I hope Samsung can make sure android can take advantage of the gpu in the SGS II.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unrealwolf:
Hey, I want this driver! Maybe, devs could be able to port it to SGS somehow.

By the way, GPU in Desire HD and Desire Z (adreno 205) beats SGS one in benchmarks and goes head-to-head with Tegra.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] HM.Carbide:
if it causes the same battery drain, i want that driver too...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] kunjar:
Id love to see how the Sony NGP with ARM Cortex-A9 quad-core processor & SGX543MP4+ GPU stacks up....just for fun of course.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
The SGX540 is indeed a very good GPU. Still not outdated, even at 200 MHz.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SamHaLeKe:
You can change it the kernel also to 300MHz if you have te skils. Our SGS has stil many potentional ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Algimene:
I hope skilled devs like Supercurio and Hardcore are reading this thread and get some inspiration :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bcam117:
F**king apple

I hope everyone is realizing how dumb it was to let apple buy imaginetech.

And how come nvidia (a company i know for gpus) seems to be behind in gpu tech?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarlowXim:
Unlikely when you mess with the gpu clock there's an increase in instability, as well as putting other devices out of sync. I believe omap4 is using a different nm process to fabricate it probably smaller than the galaxys so they can put the clock higher.

The driver upgrade is the only possibility.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] pitree:
I think Hummingbird (A8) and Omap4 (A9) are based on same 45 nm architecture.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unrealwolf:
Guys, look at that:

http://glbenchmark.com/subtest_results_of_device.jsp?D=Google+Nexus+S&id=405

There are 12 tests of Nexus S in GLBenchmark, and 11 of them are below 2400 points (more or less like our SGS), but the most recent one (uploaded at 2011.02.11) scored 3025 points, more than Tegra 2. This result's is made by someone from GLBenchmark, and shows at "GLBenchmark team tested" page of the results. How is that possible?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bcam117:
Just commenting to keep this going. I don't want to put my hopes up too much, but you never know :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dnsp:
I'm beginning to believe that it was a bad move from Samsung to switch from PowerVR to the Mali-400. I have the money ready to spend on a new device and I hope it's the SGS2 but I will wait first for the final product and drivers and see some benchmarks before I buy. If the SGX540 keeps the lead maybe I'll stick with my SGS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
samsung got tegra 2 also for I9103 phone

but SGX543 was good a option
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MarlowXim:
Samsung pr overhyped their processor capabilities. But I guess there not confident in there own soc. If they decided to make a tegra 2 version.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] runedrune:
i'm pretty sure they are only making a tegra 2 version because they wont be able to manufacture enough orion cores to meet the demand.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hoss_n2:
i think that the galaxy tab gpu is clocked at higher speed than galaxy s as it gives same score at neocore on (1024x600) resolution , am i wrong
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sebBastian3:
Give an App for gpu oc please Dev's

And of course DRIVER update please
[Galaxy S I9000 General] oswade:
Interesting. I did see GPU overclock to 247mhz in some kernels, but any driver upgrade or OC is awesome :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] hoss_n2:
Can you show us where
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Unrealwolf:
There is a GPU overclock in Glitch kernel for CM7. It applies with CPU OC (on 1000 mhz GPU clock is default, on 1500 mhz it is 247). Gaming performance results in Smartbench 2011 changes from 2400 (default) to around 3000 (with maximum OC).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zorxd:
45 nm is a semiconductor manufacturing process, not an architecture. A8 and A9 are two different architectures. There are also 65nm A8, like the OMAP 35xx and 34xx. And the Tegra 2 (A9) is made using TSMC's 40 nm process.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DeadSOL:
Aaaaaaaaah, I'd love it, too, if someone were to update the drivers for our beloved Galaxy S!!!!!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dadyal:
i dont have much hopes left it's time to buy a new phone
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Alberto96:
Keep updated this thread till we get the new driver. Maybe for jelly bean someone can port it ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jacoles2:
Keep this thread alive. Hoping for the updated sgx drivers.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Alberto96:
True, is strange that no one dev can adapt new drivers :(

Also Galaxy Nexus have the PowerVR SGX 540 with updated driver and higher clock.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jacoles2:
Linteam has a slight 250mhz overclock on sgx 540 for our Galaxy S. I believe they also managed to release an updated driver.

Check it out:

[Captivate General] Aquarianperry:
I went to Best Buy to peruse this evening and checked out the HTC Inspire 4G - overall it's a pretty snappy phone and the 4.3" screen has me drooling along with the front camera, rear flash and the Sense UI that has grown so much from my good old days of HTC on Windows Mobile!!! Then I thought to myself, hmmmm, perhaps AT&T will let me get it!!!

I purchased the Captivate on July 15th, about three days ahead of the actual release date and I was beaming - until the woeful GPS and now the occasional rebooting if you look at it too hard issues came up, of course I stuck with it because originally they said the holy grail of 2.2 would be out by August, then the end of September, then after Turkey day then by Christmas...... and now it's almost March, almost seven months later to the date!!!

I've been a Bell South/Cingular/AT&T subscriber since 2000, now a little over 11 years, and thru those years I've had let's say about nine phones of my own not to include my wifes phone and then my kids as they grew up and I gave them phones via the family plan. Strangely enough when I upgraded my last phone (HTC Fuze) to the captivate they gave me the option to upgrade a year later which will be July 15th, they usually let me upgrade every year or so so I'm always fresh.

But after this second hassle with them about a Samsung smart phone (first was the BlackJack) I'm pretty done and ready to go back to old reliable HTC and call them up and demand that they give me an Inspire or I nip all my plans in the bud since they all expire this year with my phone being the last one to expire in July and moving over to T-Mobile or Verizon. I know I could get it and they would probably extend my contract another 6 months or so, and I've seen the specs on it and know that by mid summer it would be be beyond old hat since it's pretty much the Evo with GSM with new Sense UI. Or I could wait and see if they would give me the Infuse or the new Motorola but I'd hate to get any of those phones then see in July that the new HTC Super Duper or Samsung Galaxy S 2.5 come out then. Should I wait it out another five months with the Captivate, play the warranty return game till they offer me an alternative or just say" Yo AT&T, if you still want my business give me a Motorola!!!"
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
Right there with you. Got my Cappy in late July, now on my sixth. They offered to give me a different phone on the last two, but the closest to the Cap's specs were the x10 and iPhone 4. Hoping number six here holds out until the x12's or Atrix's come out. If they're not willing to budge on my terms when it inevitably dies (free and no-new-contract) then I'm paying the ETF and heading to sprint.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
I'm planning on doing the same. Although chances are they will only change it (one time) to another phone that is refurbished. So it might take a while to jump on a new phone.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
How did you manage to gets a one year contract with a phone upgrade? I wish I got that.I have a one year upgrade option but a t year contract that gets extended with every upgrade. The 300-500 is not worth the contract cancellation for me
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
True. But with all the bullsh*t that has came with this droid and having to take 5 phones to the post office to be shipped back (only to be refurb'd again and passed off to some other poor bastard)... a $200 ETF is like paying for the luxury of no longer putting up with AT&T. Every month another $20 less that I have to pay them, etc.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
3 times warranty exchange of captivate for the sleep/charge death issue; and possibly account history.

As always, be soft, be patient, and be genuine.

I was told I could swap for a different phone in Dec last if the sleep death issue reoccurred (that was the 4th exchange in all -- once a battery and 3 times phone exchange).

Luckily, my captivate survived.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Im so tempted to just pay the ETF and jump to verizon.. its nice to see that att is getting some new android phones. Even though the htc phone has the lowest specs its so tempting because it will have aosp and 2.3 before the new samsung phone.....and unless motorola goes with an unlocked bootloader they will be in the same boat. Hardware specs don't mean much if the software isn't there
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Early upgrade pricing is $300 and most everyone will qualify for that. Sell your Captivate for $250-$300 on Craigslist and be done with it. It will be hard to get them to swap it. I tried.
[Captivate General] LazyDaveD:
The Inspire is available for $400 with no contract. I'd rather do that than pay $300 for an upgrade and be locked in for 2 more years.
[Captivate General] atldawg:
Same boat.... random shutdowns, etc. On my 5th or 6th phone. I have device support center near my house, so swapping them out it easy, but irritating. When I called yesterday, they said I could swap it for an Inspire, but only when the warranty center received refurbished units, which could take 30-90 days. I doubt it will take that long. I do not see them issuing new Inspires to anybody with a problem at 31+ days. I would have to guess they will have refurbs within 30 days, but who knows. Anybody know how long it takes for AT&T to start getting refurbs?
[Captivate General] mprinceiii:
I'm also curious to know if i can do this. I bought a Captivate refurbished, and already got a replacement because of random shut down issues. Maybe i'll give AT&T a call tomorrow and see what I can do, anyone think people interested in this idea have a decent chance as long as we're reasonable to the AT&T rep we speak to?
[Captivate General] alex4lex:
Tried. Didn't work : /
[Captivate General] Aquarianperry:
It's good to know I'm not the only person thinking about the trade out, seeing as how the Inspire 4G is marked monetarily lower than the Captivate but of the same calibur I'm sure that it will be a refurb option really soon. The only thing I dread about going through the warranty process is initially getting back Captivate refurbs that have bigger issues than mine over and over again until AT&T finally gives in and lets me choose another phone of the same calibur which is why I haven't sent mine in for the GPS, media scan of dread and shutdown while charging/rebooting troubles but now that they are becoming more frequent that it's becoming unbearable.

Buying an Inspire straight out or having AT&T extend my contract for another year isn't an option I'm willing to take, that would get me stuck with an inspire until spring 2012 at the least - no thanks I saw what became of the Aria.

The simple fact is the the issues with this phone should have been addressed and resolved a long time ago and we shouldn't have to put on a custom rom to get it to a state that it should have been that way out the box, custom roms should be for fun and enhancements to an already good product not band aids to fix flaws that the manufacturer or carrier wont acknowledge and respond to.

Hopefully in a few weeks once people start going through the Inspire's the option to choose a refurbished Inspire 4G as a swap for a Captivate will become available, either that or the official 2.2 comes out then I'll stick with the captivate until summer, after that AT&T better come correct with the android updates and some stunning hardware or I'll be jumping ship to T-Mobile.
[Captivate General] xreflection:
Wow, I didn't realize the captivate was having so many issues...5th and 6th phones? My god.

[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
IT'S NOT A DROID! @$i@##%@#$%^#$%^&#7
[Captivate General] mprinceiii:
it's true. granted, i've only gone through one phone, but i did have the random shutdown problem, and at first i wasn't bothered by it. it quickly became the most annoying problem ever by occurring more frequently.
[Captivate General] Coak5:
I am still skeptical about the whole 4G network with AT&T especially being such crappy coverage service already with their supposed upgraded 3G network. If they said they finally completed their 3G network upgrade and provide this kind of horrible coverage quality, I can't even begin to imagine how their supposed 4G network speeds are as well as the coverage it will support. If i was to get a 4G AT&T phone, I would wait at least half a year to a year to really see how they push their network out onto the market.
