[Continuum General] torque240:
I just aquired a Samsung Continuum 2 weeks ago only because the people at the vz store told me it had 2.2, which was WRONG! But a guy there said he could hook me up with 2.2(which was a big mistake). Worked for a week then in the end the phone just crashed!!! Contacted the store and i guess he doesnt work there anymore, they are sending me a new phone, i called vzw and samsung and they said that 2.2 will be released by august(hopefully its true).
[Continuum General] Weudel:
AUGUST???? We should have Gingerbread by AUGUST!!!!
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
All this information from low level customer service representatives is obviously unreliable.
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
PS I highly doubt we'll ever get Gingerbread.
[Continuum General] Weudel:
But... but.... Samsung said tat all Galaxy S phones would get Gingerbread, most of them by the end of May..... :D
[Continuum General] logan302:

that's it I'm getting one of those cricket big button phones...i hear they're completely hackable.

[Continuum General] torque240:
I really hope we do. And the customer service need to get on the same page and not tell people the wrong info.
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
Yeah, but we need to have 2.2 before a 2.3 update is even possible. Judging by it being May 25th and we still don't have 2.2 I'm going to go with "No" on tat happening for us.
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
He was joking.
[Continuum General] msilva211:
here you go. todays chat session log

Please wait for a Samsung Agent to respond.

You are now chatting with 'Carlos'. There will be a brief survey at the end of our chat to share feedback on my performance today.

Your Issue ID for this chat is LTK4380901274X

Carlos: Hi, thank you for contacting Samsung Technical Support. How may I help you today?

Matt: Is this phone, Samsung Continuum, EVER going to get the Android 2.2 upgrade? YES or NO. If you can't answer YES or NO, then please transfer me to a higher tier of customer support.

Carlos: I understand that you want to know about the android 2.2 update for your phone. Am I correct?

Matt: This is what i want to know. Is this phone, Samsung Continuum, EVER going to get the Android 2.2 upgrade? YES or NO. If you can't answer YES or NO, then please transfer me to a higher tier of customer support.

Carlos: Thank you for confirmation.

Carlos: Let me inform you in this regard.

Carlos: Unfortunately, as of now there is no official information on the release date of the Android 2.2 from Samsung and you will be notified by the carrier and in the Samsung website when/if the update is released. We are unable to speculate when/if a software revision might be available due to the fact that this might lead to inaccurate information and confusion.

Carlos: Should this become available, it will be posted on our Website in the Samsung Download Center.

Matt: You did not answer YES or NO. There is already alot of confusion. Please answer my question.

Carlos: I am sorry, I would have surely helped you if I had the exact information at my end.

Matt: Please speak with a supervisor or someone on a higher level, and then answer my question. Thank you.

Matt: This is an unacceptable answer.

Carlos: I'm sorry for the delay. I'll be right with you.

Matt: thank you

Carlos: You're welcome.

Carlos: Thank you for waiting. I checked with my supervisor and I am sorry to inform that we do not have any updates on the same at this moment.

Matt: What? Please restate. I do not understand. Updates on the same? what is that?

Matt: I dont want to know "IF" there is an update available. I already know there is not. This is what I want to know. Please read it. Is this phone, Samsung Continuum, EVER going to get the Android 2.2 upgrade? YES or NO. If you can't answer YES or NO, then please transfer me to a higher tier of customer support

Carlos: The continuum phone will get an update on android 2.2. But, we don't have the information when the carrier will release the update for it.

Matt: That is the answer I was looking for Carlos. So it will at some point get the update, you just dont know when. Good answer. Thank you for digging for this answer.

Carlos: You're welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
lol, my incompetent fool was less incompetent than yours...

I didn't have to push nearly as hard for him to tell me that :P
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
So from the sound of it it's not on Samsung anymore, it's on Verizon. Time to start trolling Verizon :3

Do they have live support?
[Continuum General] Weudel:
So, I sent this to Sammy via email:

And their reply was...
[Continuum General] msilva211:
nice going. keeep chippin' away at this thing. they have to give it up at some point. just hope its SOON!
[Continuum General] TraMaI:
So they're basically saying that the ticker takes 3 months to get working on Froyo? From what I understand of the Fascinate it's damn near the same coding wise as the Continuum and that was released forever ago.

EDIT: Sent an e-mail to Verizon. If we don't start getting some straight answers and a promised release date from one of the two companies then my e-mails are going to get continually more nasty... This is infuriating to spend money on a product like this, be lied to about it and then be forgotten.
[Continuum General] BrizzyMO:
Don't know who I should be angry with, Samsung, Verizon, or myself (for assuming the continuum would have great community support. Basically I feel like I have a dated, crap phone and I kick myself daily for not just getting a Droid X, a Fascinate, or waiting for the Thunderbolt. Htc phones are looking just grand, here, lately. I'm giving Verizon another month to give us Froyo, if we don't have it by then I'll be dumping my continuum...
[Continuum General] samuelhadams:
I agree. I'll probably end up buying a new Fascinate off Ebay for $150-$200. Cheaper than breaking contract and still a decent phone.
[Continuum General] zeri1133:
SWEEET.......
[Continuum General] trailblazer101:
What was that "Sweet" directed towards? Lmao
[Continuum General] logan302:
a$$ pain

I bugged sammy for hours last night and got to the supervisor on duty and still no answers...I sat on perpetual hold with verizon until my phone died. still kinda fun.
[Continuum General] BrizzyMO:
LMFAO I say we all go buy Jitterbugs!! Speaking of big button phones!! I wanna see custom Jitterbug roms! :P
[Continuum General] BrizzyMO:
Exactly what I was thinking...Maybe with Froyo and some ticker support this would be a truly badass phone, but I sacrificed valuable primary screen real estate for the ticker, and so far it's just been not worth it. Thought about Ebay. Does anyone know about Verizon's CPO (certified pre-owned) phones? Can you buy one without renewing your contract? They've occasionally got good phones like Droid X's and such at great prices...
[Continuum General] abby_nitewolf:

I would do it, but i think due to copyrights you paying me would make it illegal : (

So, i'll do it for free lol. but i'm not sure I understand your request.. You want the guy on the right in the third image on a white background? then the same guy on a black background? What are the other two pictures for?

Good job. I wanted some too

Can you make an amazing wallpaper for Ninja Apps (signature). Basically the same thing, we just use icons.. or images.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
So I figured that since I was having shut down issues with my second cappy (the first one had headphone jack issues, which I got new.... stupid att warranties and their stupid att refurb phones.) I would call their customer care, complain, get a new one, and eBay it as "mint condition"

Now that they're releasing Froyo... hm.

Should I keep it, or sell it? I was running andromeda and really, really had a nice experience with that. I don't really need the money, but I use my LG Quantum much, much, MUCH more. (because it lasts a whole day, not half of one.) Another thing to consider is I spent about $20 on the android market... meh... I might keep the cappy on stock 2.2.

Thoughts? I know XDA can do amazing things with ROM's, is this froyo source going to make a huge difference on performance?

Also, I've been hearing things about an "audience chip". What exactly does this do? Sorry for the noobish questions, but I figured I'd get the XDA opinion before making a possible $300 or keeping a sweet backup phone.
[HD2 General] maxamas64:
I was following this guide:

ww w.habdas.or g/2011/01/17/direct-boot-gingerbread-on-the-hd2/#current-setup

installed HSPL no problem, updated to new radio, then installed MAGDLR. I am now stuck on the MAGDLR boot menu, my computer is not recognizing any of the USB connections I try with the phone. So basically I am now stuck on the MAGDLR boot menu with no way to uninstall it or advance that I can find. Any advice?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
how do you know? did you put magldr into "usb flasher" and run daf.exe on the pc??
[HD2 General] maxamas64:
Sorry, was a little rushed before. My PC does recognize a usb connection. Found daf.exe, gave me this error message when I used it:

An error has occurred

Read below for more information

Error Description: Config load failed.

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (725)

Error Description: CONFIG: can't open config file

Info: .\RSPL\RSPL.cpp (304)
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
ah yea that. not sure what to suggest, other than turning off any activesync connections (although that would usually be for the 'usb init' error) and running daf as administrator
[HD2 General] maxamas64:
Still getting the same trouble running as admin, though im not too sure how to turn off activesync (or whether or not its actually on)

what does DAF.exe do? Ive got this ROM downloaded:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=918899

not quite sure how its supposed to make it onto the device. I'm a real noobie at this, thanks for you help by the way.

so is there a tutorial or something you would suggest? or anyway I could uninstall MAGDLR from my phone so I could atleast have a phone until I figure this stuff out?
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
daf.exe (possibly Dark forces Android Flasher .exe? :) ) is the program you run on the pc to start the flash, and the windows mobile roms version it is called customruu.exe, and for stock roms if you extract them, it is ROMUpdateUtility.exe, , , , the flashing program, basically.

First thing i'd try in your situation, if available, would be a different PC.

ok, ive just re read your posts, , do you HAVE magldr on your phone?

lets assume yes you do, so, erm,,,,, (i cant write detailed instructions, there are loads of steps and variations for the bits you need to do, , ill break it down as best i can into a 123)

with the aim of flashing a zip rom, from sd using clockwork.

0 prepare SD card - EXT partition - your rom.zip on the FAT32 partition (can do this by mounting usb storage from magldr menu if you dont have a card reader)

1 apply hspl - 2.08.hspl

2 make sure radio is 2.10.50 or higher

3 into bootloader - usb - flash magldr ***

4 into magldr menu - usb flasher - flash the clockwork mod using the partition size you want. ***

5 into magldr menu - boot AD SD - this will start the clockwork menu

6 'install zip from sd card'

7 'choose zip from sdcard' - select the zip you put on the sd card

*** both these steps include a DAF.exe - don't confuse them, put magldr in one folder, clockwork in a different one.

when its done, restart, and it should load. be warned teh first boot can take a loong time, dont be worried if it hits ten mins, twenty, maybe. Ive had a few roms that set up but dont boot right, a quick battery pull usually sorts it.
[HD2 General] maxamas64:
this is the screen that comes up when I boot it.

the very top reads: aMAGDLR v1.13

Build: Feb 1 2011

then it goes into the boot menu

Is this MAGDLR?

I know I have the first 2 steps up right, and I am now trying on my laptop, but I still cant get the Daf from either the MAGDLR or the Gingerbread. Im going to run through it again using your instructions right now
[HD2 General] norpan111:
If he was able to flash anything from the "usb flasher" this thread would not exist. So flashing from sd requires you to flash a cwm through "usb flasher" where his pc didn't recognize usb. Try different pc/port restart pc and try again.

Also go into usb flasher. Start dft and then plug in cable. Wait for "...usb" then try again..in admin mode for example
[HD2 General] maxamas64:
Got it going! ended up using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=958953

[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
A friend of mine with a Droid 1 is running a rom called project elite. He showed me a boot animation that's part of the rom that started with an Apple logo, then it zoomed out and had the android robot eating it. Was brilliant.

Anyone know where I can get it or how I can get this on my Fascinate?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Download the ROM, extract the bootanimation.zip file from it (look in system/media) and put it in the /system/media folder on your phone. If you post the zip here, I'm sure someone could make a CWM zip for you to make it easier to put on your phone. Also, if there is a sound with it, look for that as well, system/etc/PowerOn.wav if it's in the same place that our boot sound is at.
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
Thanks! I'll see if I can get the zip from him. The rom has the setting built in to choose what boot animation you wanna use, and there were like seven included with it. Would that make it harder to extract the one I want? I assume there would be multiple ones packaged in there
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
I want that animation! In answer to your question it should not pose to be more difficult, but it may add for some good extra animations.
[Fascinate General] xlinth:
i used to beta for project elite ...let me know if you cant get out of the rom ...ill get them directly from the dev
[Fascinate General] xlinth:
edit: get the cwm version below
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Here's a CWM zip for it. Only change is that I removed the Thumbs.db file from the zip :p let me know if it doesn't work.
[Fascinate General] beeblebrux:
You're awesome, imnuts. Was going get on this today, but you beat me to it and then some.

The zip worked fine and the boot animation is great, by the way. Thanks again
[Fascinate General] islandtime:
this rocks! thanks
[Fascinate General] epicshifter:
I downloaded zip then what do you do? I clicked on it and nothing happened..
[Fascinate General] islandtime:

[Fascinate General] zipgunjny:
Does the zip file need to be on the root of the sd card ?

Tried to install from Clockwork Recovery

Used "install zip from sdcard" and navigated to the zip file

Install shows complete but it is still the same old boot animation.

Running DB-DO froyo and have updated CWM

Thanks for any help
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
I absolutely love this boot animation, thanks!
[Fascinate General] zipgunjny:
so after digging around a few different places it looks like the EB01 kernel doesn't support the boot and shutdown animations. waiting on release of source code so we can have a custom kernel ?
[Fascinate General] nitroglycerine33:
zipgunjny:

Are you running the stock eb01? JT has a "hack" that he used to enable the boot animations for the custom roms. Follow imnuts instructions on where the bootanimation.zip is located.
[Fascinate General] zipgunjny:
Its the debloated-deodexed eb01. Searched for jt's hack without any luck. Any hints on finding it? Thanks again for the help. Tired of the verizon boot and shutdown animations
[Fascinate General] zipgunjny:
Finally got it. Flashed the super clean 2.6 kernel and viola,the custom boot animation is working. Now to replace the shutdown animation. Thanks for the help.
[Fascinate General] epicshifter:
I tried to flash the zip with CWM but got this error

E: failed to verify whole-file signature

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted

Any ideas or suggestions? I'm new to this stuff. I'm rooted with 2.1 firm and 2.6.29 kernel. Haven't really modded much except for moving some bloat apps to my SD card
[Fascinate General] miah009:
this is awesome! thank you.

-now kind of off topic, but will this work on the SGS Captivate as well, or should I have one of the dev's in their forum answer that for me?
[Fascinate General] imnuts:
Turn off signature verification.
[Fascinate General] Zerg The Bear:
It should work on a Captivate without problem.

The setup of a boot animation is common for Android devices. I've used boot animations that were initially meant for other phones (HTC EVO, etc.) without problem.

It might look a little odd, however, if you use something meant for a different screen resolution. This is set up for a 480x854 screen (with 240x422 images). Our screens are 480x800. I don't know if the phones would scale or crop the animation, but just a heads up. It sounds like this still looks good, however, on our screens.
[Fascinate General] shredswithpiks:
Awesome animation, thanks for finding it!

[Fascinate General] cpark_12:
Can't you install this via root explorer, our fi you have to flash it via cwr?
[Fascinate General] shredswithpiks:
You can pull out bootanimation.zip and use root explorer to stick it in /system/media/

I had a similar idea for a boot animation with the exception of Android taking one bite then swallowing the whole thing(red apple) and then maybe a grunt and then he flies away and the gray apple with the bite out of it is sitting on the ground behind where he ate it.
