i got myself a samsung captivate i896 firmware 2.1 eclair.uxji2 ( i have no idea what this all means) oh and i've never rooted because i don't know what it all means and why i have to do that.

all i know is i cannot watch any videos or play any music from internet sites like radioblogclub, imeem, etc.

all i can use are youtube and crunchyroll application i installed and my music player from the phone's icon. the urmusic application which was installed when i bought the phone doesn't even startup. it waste up my space i tried to uninstall it but the installment process wasn't even done yet. so i couldn't even uninstall it much less delete it. sigh.

anyway, how can i watch videos on internet sites when i am connected to wi-fi? it keeps on asking for adobe flash player and i tried to look for it in the market and install it but it kept telling me my system requirements are not enough for the plugin to be installed. i need to install adobe flash player to be able to watch through the internet? my audio doesn't even work when i tried imeem.

please help.

You need FroYo 2.2 for Flash. Have you rooted or anything?

I suggest checking out these threads and doing some reading.

Being the i869, we have something the i897' s don't have, official froyo. Download kies from either samsung site or rogers site (in support), follow the instructions on the website. Upgrade to the ofw 2.2 froyo. Start there, if you don't like that root, and try different roms.

Does anyone know if someone has created a deodex .zip file to flash via customer recovery?

For those that don't know, many of the apk files installed by an official rom will have a .odex file associated with them which slows down your phone considerably. These odex files interact with delvik cache and java VM and from what I understand wreak havoc on data access times and are largely uneccessary. Other dev platforms such as the droid x and evo have a .zip file that you can simply flash via recovery that will "deodex" your apps in system\apps folder. Basicially this zip will take your odex file and associated apk file and take the important information out of the odex and input it into the apk making just one streamlined faster file.... with all of your odex files gone, your phone will spend less time executing programs both for end user and core google apps and your phone will be way faster. Any idea if someone has developed this yet for the streak? Thanks

**EDIT**

I know this is a question but I thought it should go into development due to the potential of some of the dev's responding to this and posting useful developement info that we can try out and report back to the dev section. Plus, most of the trollers in Q&A probably don't know what this is or even care. Thanks
[Streak 5 Android Development] Krad:
I am interested in this as well
[Streak 5 Android Development] sharptv:
Steve's roms are pre-deodexed, just look under system/app, you can't find see any odex file, or simply perform a search on 'odex' in root explorer and the result should be none.
[Streak 5 Android Development] chinkostu:
good to know.

although if someone makes an app/file to do the job it will be handy in the future :D

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android314:
I have an Incredible that I have rooted with unrevoked. I rooted it after I received the ota update with froyo and have done nothing else. I have yet to put a rom on since I really don't want to download and install all of my apps again and tweak my preferences. All that being said I want to do some things to customize my phone and have read about other ways to customize with roms, what things am I able to do? Here are some of the things I would love to be able to do to my phone:

Color Notification Icons - Is there a way? I tried one months ago and my phone crashed so I had to do a nandroid restore.

Change Lockscreen - Is there a way I can change the slider? Different color or something?

Blue Theme - I'd love to change all the places that are green to blue, such as when dialing or navigating around on the phone.

Is there anything else you guys have done to your Incredible that sets it apart? I really love to customize and tweak things to make it my own. Thanks for reading and helping out guys.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoney 666:
Forgot, you aren't deodexed.... you really need a custom rom to be able to theme. If you want a stock sense you should look into virtuous... its pretty much stock, looks stock but is still custom. Then you can flash themes on it.....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android314:
A little off topic, but since I want to learn...

What exactly is deodexed? I remember moving *.odex files from system apps I didn't want after I rooted.

And that's a bummer, I'd hate to have to install all of my apps again after flashing to a new rom. I have looked at both Virtuous and Vanilla in the past but didn't want to deal with all of the extra work afterwards. I'm unsure what CM6/CM7 is, I'm about to google it.

Is there anything I am able to do besides what I've mentioned?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stoney 666:
Try flashing virtuous without wiping data, just wipe caches. like I said before, that's pretty much a stock sense rom. You should be ok and not need to re set up your stuff. If not, restore nandroid.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoon0n:
If your main concern about trying out ROM's is having to re-download all of your apps, I have an app for that :D

Titanium Backup

Super simple. It lets you back up the apps you downloaded. Here's what you do:

1. Download Titanium Backup from the market

2. Individually back up your apps using Ti - WARNING! DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM DATA. Also don't back up Gmail/Maps/anything stock that's going to be in the new ROM. Titanium shows items in red that you shouldn't back up, so it shouldn't be too hard. Rule of thumb: if you downloaded it yourself, back it up, if not, stay away

3. Download your new ROM and put it on your SD card

4. Wipe

5. Flash new ROM - FYI CM7 stands for "CyanogenMod 7" which is a really popular AOSP ROM

6. Sign in with your Google account/Facebook/etc.

7. Download Titanium backup > Batch > Restore apps

You're going to have to click "Install" for every app you backed up if you've got the free version, the paid one does it for you.

You're also going to have to do your other tweaks (ringtones, autorotate, etc.) manually as Ti can't do that, but I think it's well worth the initial time investment to get a better/faster/more customizable ROM

TL;DR: Titanium Backup backs up your apps. If you want customization, you need a new ROM. If you want Sense, SkyRaider 3.5 or Incredibly Re-engineered 2.3.1 is best for customization (both have blue themes available), but Virtuous gives you the most "stock" feel. If you want AOSP, can't do much better than CyanogenMod7 for theming

EDIT: In response to your original post...

Colored Notifications are only going to work on a deodexed ROM (aka Virtuous/SkyRaider) - there is a rooted/deodexed stock ROM floating around that rmk40 posted (he also created Virtuous)

WidgetLocker is a paid app that can change your lockscreen - and here's a really popular app on modding the stock options it gives to your liking: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=825553
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nephilim:
Cyanogenmod7 or CM7 is basically one of the most badass roms available, it's not only the newest of the cyanogenmod series but it's also built off of android 2.3 Gingerbread, so no having to wait for the actual legit GB release like everyone that's not rooted. If you want to see it in action look for it on youtube, otherwise to learn about it go to cyanogenmod.com or cyanogenmod.com/forums, everyone there is very helpful. I am running the RC1 of CM7, there is a few nightly builds after that so far but I'm just gonna stick with the first release canidate until RC2 hits.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runagt2:
I'd say the main reason I rooted was to try out different ROMs. I know you said you want to leave all your preferences and apps untouched, but I quickly got over that. I got all my contacts organized in GMail so that they sync every time I flash a new ROM. Each ROM has different preferences to play around with. For apps, I realized what I needed to do was just choose a few really important ones so I wouldn't have to spend all day setting up my apps for each new ROM.

I'd recommend doing a nandroid backup in recovery and trying out a few different ROMs. Try MIUI and Cyanogenmod 7, they're great. When your done you can restore your nandroid backup and get back to exactly where you are right now.

If you decide you want to stick with a new ROM, you can use Titanium Backup to restore your important app data, like someone else pointed out.

Once you're rooted there is a whole new world of opportunities...have fun!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android314:
Ok you guy's have got me very interested now. I think I want to move forward now! That cm7 looks great and I'd love to move to gingerbread. I was curious since this is the nightly beta release if I could later get the updates without flashing a rom again and restoring my apps. I had also heard I would have to flash more files like the radio after the install too. I'll have to read more on this.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
Use Titanium Backup for all your apps and their data where you can put them all back on your new ROM.

You can do a full backup via Clock Works so if you don't like the new ROM or don't want to deal with any more of this new stuff then you can revert exactly to where you were before.

> For the lockscreen you can uninstall the lockscreen and then the default android one will be there.

To change the main look and feel you can try Launcher Pro from the market. It's pretty sweet. I use it with my custom ROM just because I love the cube transition and how you can hide a lot of the useless apps in the app drawer.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N-Forced:
If you dont want to load a custom rom but would like to just theme there is a deodexed completely stock rom around here that will give you that option. All you need to do is flash in recovery and since you are going from a stock rom to another stock rom you do not need to wipe/clear anything so all of your apps and settings will remain intact.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dunemessiah:
you can consider just flashing skyraiders 3.5 and then not doing anything fancy. It's very close to stock with little improvements around so you might find that to be a good start.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android314:
Thanks for all of the comments and suggestions guys. For right now I think I am going to wait for a stable release of CM7 before I flash a rom. I really want Gingerbread but not an unstable release of it. I am looking at LauncherPro now and thinking of checking out ADW. I've watched some different videos on both, which do you guys think is better?

I also did one mod I'm happy about, I changed the market app to the themed "Black Market" with the different icon and appearance. I think I am going to look for some transparent apps next to do something different. I with there was more I could do with my stock rom, it sucks not being deodexed. Anything else worthwhile to look into?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zerox8610:
CM7 is incredibly stable for only being at RC1....

I use it everyday now (Occasionally flashing something for fun) and I have NO problems with it.

If you flash CM7 RC1 you won't regret it. Just my two cents.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Android314:
How long would anyone guess the final release will take? I think I am just going to keep an eye on it's progress and eventually switch. While it may be working well now I just feel uneasy about flashing that rom now, even though I can restore a backup. I'm having some fun now customizing my phone with Launcher Pro. I certainly like the customizable dock over the Sense dock. I'm trying to search for mods I can do with my non-deodexed rom but not too much luck. Thanks for the thoughts everyone!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smoonyheim:
I used to be like you so just as some insight from someone who remembers being where you are. Don't worry about cm7 rc1 or the newest nighlys, they're very stable. Although for a stock sense experience, one fun rom I've found to be fun and really have me flashing back and forth with cm7 is incredibly re engineered. With Chad's kernel its super fast, battery efficient and stable.

So ymmv but cm rc's are generally pretty stable. And incredibly re engineered is also a great choice
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Azag Thoth:
ok i am a noob and just like the guy before i am rooted and using hydra oc kernal but stock rom froyo 2.2 and preaty much same reasons as the other guy for not flashing a rom yet. i think my main problem is just not quite sure of all the details yet. someone mentioned making a backup through clockwork i did that, chose the backup and restore option, but not sure what all this actualy backs up...everything? or just parts, and also little hazy on the kernel/rom workable combinations... how do you know which ones can be used together and which will brick or what ever may be the consiquencess, i only have had my phone little over a month, so i still working up my courage too. gained some today my wife's got same phone and had hers rooted with same kernel, and needed to return it cause having sms, and call issues. i was able to return hers to stock and s-on. so that really boosted my confidence, i know alot of it is just brute force reading to learn but i never was much on long reads, so i usualy read other peoples mastakes and not do that and try everything else in time... kinda of an ass-backwards way of doing it but does tend to cut down on the reading...lol so any tips you want to throw at me i am listening...

funny i just found that htc had a phone named Thoth, but i guess it was canceled or something...to bad liked the name...

Hello,

I have bought a Kingston MicroSD 16gb Class 10 card from eBay, although I was a bit concerned(because its eBay), I have received the card and tested it with H2testw v1.4.

The results:

Warning: Only 15475 of 15476 MByte tested.

Test finished without errors.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

Writing speed: 10.6 MByte/s

Reading speed: 18.4 MByte/s

H2testw v1.4

Ive been using Starburst Lite + data2sd rom, and when I got the new card I have reinstalled the rom just like I have installed it the first time (partitioned the sd card with fat32 and less than 2gb to ext4).

Now, the phone keeps lagging, and everything is slower, and I have no idea why.

The weird thing is, when I tried to play Modern Combat 2, it was way faster than with the class 2 card.

I have tried testing the card through the phone with Sdt (SD Card Tester) and it says the card has a write speed of about 2-3mb/s.

I have not tested read speed.

Why am I expriencing this? is it because the way I have reinstalled the rom? is it because the card is fake(even though the program I used to check the card said it was alright)? is it because the facebook sync/google sync?

I had a similar problem with a Patriot class 10 card. I changed to an A-DATA class 6 and have had no problems at all using the StarBurst Main rom. My class 10 card in the phone suffered horrible write speeds, but amazing read speeds (no good for data2sd). The class 6 is WAY better.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hfg666:

Also, I have tested the card with my pc, and it had better write + read speeds.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
many issues have been reported already with class 10 cards and data2sd coexisting u can check here. i have a class 10 kingmax and have no problems though. since u're using sibere's data2sd (Starburst ROM) did u align to MiB when u created ur partitions, have u done the optimization trick mentioned in the data2sd OP?

Edit: i don't see why u reinstalled the ROM , wouldn't just partitioning the new card do the trick ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hfg666:
To be honest, I have no idea whats MiB or the other link you're talking about.

I have installed the rom the same way I have installed it on my other card, the class 2 sandisk, which worked quite fast.

I have reinstalled the rom because i'm new to android and I wasn't sure if I had to install it or not so I just did it all again.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayiskon:
if u partitioned ur microsd with Gparted there is an option "align to MiB" (MiB= mb)

the optimization link is from the data2sd thread

this is a line from starburst thread "Data2Sd Re-Installer

If you ever reflash the Rom alone after the Data2SD is installed, some essential libraries required by Data2SD is lost. To restore them, flash the Rom in Recovery, followed immediately thereafter by the Re-Installer.

so go to the thread and download the data2sd REinstaller, flash ROM and then flash the reinstaller without leaving recovery, then reboot and see what happens.

Ok, so i checked my partioning and it seemed like i checked the align to MB thing.

Ive reinstalled the rom, and then Ive installed the Data2SD REinstaller, made a reboot and the phone just freezed at the green htc logo screen.

So ive installed it the way i did the first time and it works again, but slow.

Perhaps its the card? Or the Desire compatibility with the card?
