Well I just rooted my Evo, first time rooter, and haven't flashed any roms or kernals yet, so I'm still running on the stock rom.

Thanks, but the command didn't work. I went into adb shell then typed cd /system/media and is said mount: /sbin/sh: cd: can't cd to /system/media

If you can't get ADB to Work Root explorer should allow you to copy a new sound to that location.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jodroidbcn:
I was wondering if there would be any way to add NFC capabilities to the Galaxy S. Of course, replacing the phone for a Galaxy S II would be the fallback option.

I've read about some companies that develop microSDs with NFC, also, it seems some SIM cards can have NFC embedded.

Do you know if there are some of those products that can be bought and used with the Galaxy S?

The second questions is whether it would then be compatible with Gingerbread's NFC capabilities and the applications that will start appearing soon.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
not unless the drivers and kernels are included for the ROM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Unless if you live in Japan, NFC probably won't matter to you until you buy your next smart phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UnsecWifi:
Blackberry or someone is releasing new backplates with the chip in it for NFC but I doubt Samnsung would do it for the Galaxy S. NFC is in it's infancy right now anyway, wait a year and get a phone with it built in.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russellhoff:
I guess gingerbread includes NFC drivers... So will we be able to use it? thanks!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:
Yes it is possible as some networks are building NFC into their SIMs.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] russellhoff:
So the location of the NFC chip is in our sim cards? I was thinking that the chip was in the phone, inside it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tehpriest:
They are built into many phones and more will follow but they can also be built into the sim. My Barclaycard credit card has it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkyryan:
I have been using cm7 for about 6weeks now, currently using rc1 but now that Gingerbread is available should I revert to that or stick to cm7? What is the difference?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Know-Fear:
Gingerbread builds (GRI40) are all built using the google OTA version. It includes the new drivers issued by google for our device. CM7 is a mixture of the OTA and a lot of AOSP. You have seen CM7 in action. Albiet on an older build. The GRI40 builds are mostly stock (depending on the one you choose) with a couple of addons that have been reworked (trackball alert for example) for gingerbread. Trackball wake/unlock, however, does not work on any OTA based build.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkyryan:
Trackball wake works on cm7, what I want to know is, has the official gb build got more to offer than cm7 or better to offer than. Cm7?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
The very definition of CM7 is that it has more to offer than Gingerbread. CM7 takes the latest Gingerbread and adds more features to it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Know-Fear:
CM7 uses source from AOSP. That is why trackball wake still works on it. Same as super@mel and leoginger. Those are built on AOSP. Any ROM using source from the latest OTA, as of yet, can not allow for trackball wake. Google has pretty much put the kabash to it since the button push from an sleep state doesn't register anything anymore.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b1337:
is this a serious question? :p
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clarkster:
CM7 latest nightly uses the code from the latest OTA, and trackball wake still works. The trackball wake that was broken was the style that apps could use on an unrooted phone. The trackball wake in CM7 is a system change, completely different and unaffected.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabihsherjeel:
CM7

Just get the nightly builds. They are built from the ota and modded "cyanogenmodly" so they are what i choose. I am on v11 of cm7 its smooth. no probs. BTW they compile and upload everyday i have to flash everyday man!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkyryan:
To be honest I'm gonna wait for a stable version and stick with rc1 for now, I got sick of constantly re-doing my phone every time I flashed a new nightly.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Is there a stock Gingerbread ROM + Root?

If so... where is it. My wife wants stock for a change, but needs root for some of her apps.

I've been away from the n1 a LONG time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
There's a few of them in the development thread
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
yeah, very vague... i guess i was curious if one came more recommended. I know their basically stock, but if there are variants, one must be better...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Know-Fear:
Wrong. CM is still using AOSP in the nightlies with GRI40 bits added to it. Any OTA stock/deodexed rom does not have trackball wake because of the way google has changed the way the trackball clicks register. Many are working on a solution but it hasn't been found yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcng:
modaco custom rom, i baked my own in his kitchen and it's running smooooth.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
Just flashed the latest CM7 nightly and gapps over RC1 and couldn't be happier. Scrolling, swiping and animations running really smooth now. No hiccups!

Trackball wake is still the most important feature for me too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leonid99:
Definitely CM7. I went back to stock N1 gingerbread to check it out and came to a conclusion that it offers no advantages over CM7 -- it doesn't feel faster (the opposite, moving between desktops felt a bit jumpy) and lacks the customizability (for example, non-customizable power control was a deal breaker).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I beg to differ from most of this thread.

For anyone looking for stable ROM, CM7 is a pure disaster and the very definition of instability and bugs (found lots of them, starting with the ill-famous wonk, but the latest volume dropping was what finally got me to revert back to Enomther's Froyo).

I didn't test the stock Gingerbread yet, but I believe it to be much less buggy than current CM7.

Both of them don't work well with custom launchers, loaded with more than 5 screens. Even 5 screens performance is barely acceptable. Also, no 720p and no camera enhancements on stock Gingerbread yet, no SGS power bar, and no trackball wake - and the camera enhancements aren't there on CM7 either. If you value these more than the new look, cool screen off animation, better stock keyboard and proper copy-paste - stay with Froyo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
You mean the home screen scrolling that turned choppy on ginger bread is now smooth again with the latest cyan nightly?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dirk:
I've had no issues with CM7 since starting to use RC1. Nightly #14 is speedy and rock solid. It's so easy to flash to the latest build using Rom Manager each time too. Just download and flash the latest ROM, without clearing anything, and you're soon running the latest build without having to reconfigure or reinstall anything.

I've replaced ADW with the stock Gingerbread launcher found in the market and use the Nexus Revamped, LWP app. Scrolling lists, Homescreens, App Drawer, you name it... is all much faster, smoother and glitch free.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkyryan:
I'm using RC2 now, and I've had no issues at all, the Rover theme I'm using perfectly compliments the rom too, I like the extras cm7 offers and it seems to be quicker than gb on my mates desire!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] JasjarMan:
Most of you guys know about which apps are great but some never share.

So I'm hoping you will share some of those apps you like/love with us and those that visit the site. If you do please write them down and explain what they do and why you like them.

-	SMART ROTATOR – Lets you rotate individual apps instead of everything. Some people claim the auto rotate wastes battery life so I’m giving this a shot and I like it. Even if it doesn’t save battery life.

-	SETCPU for root users. If you want better battery life set it to max and min to 760. DOES make a difference and speed still OK. Want to see the atrix move even faster? Set max and min to 1000! REALLY NICE.

-	DROIDLIGHT LED FLASHLIGHT. I like this one cause you click on the icon and it turns the flashlight on right away. There are others but I like this one better so far. BUT, I have not tried ALL of them yet

-	KEYBOARD FROM ANDROID 2.3 (GINGER BREAD KETBOARD). Play with the setting till you get how you like it. Really nice.

-	MYLOCK UTILITIES – Lets you set the screen unlock so all you have to do is press the power button and you’re in! No need to SLIDE the buggy screen unlock.

-	BRIGHTNESS LEVEL (DONATE). I like this app so much I bought the donate version. It’s simple and fast. Let’s you adjust the brightness of the screen.

-	TOTAL SCREEN CONTROL – MUST have app if you use your phone at night in bed. The default “0” setting is way to bright! So I use this to FILTER the screen and works and looks great! Saves battery and your eyes.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] alphamancer:
last I read setCPU didn't work yet for the atrix due to differences in the atrix's kernel and the xoom. I could be wrong though
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aquariuz23:
Yes, setCPU doesn't seem to work or work well on the Atrix. every time I restart the phone, it will give an error stating that setCPU have failed to start or something like that. I hope they fix it soon so I can OC the phone lol :D

keyboard from Gingerbread is amazing! :) Love it; it's so much more accurate than the stock Atrix keyboard and also more responsive.

I'm new to the android world, I need more apps to fill this phone up :D
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Lazyboy006:
circle battery widget

shows battery life in 1% increments rather than 10%

also, you can put it on the home screen so you can quickly check battery life without needing to click on anything
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] JasjarMan:
SETCPU work for me. CANNOT OC but it keeps it at 1000 which is very noticeable in speeds. Its also works to UNDER clock as well. You just have to enable profiles than create your own at the speed you want.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] aquariuz23:
Hmm I wonder why setcpu won't work for me then. I've reinstalled it too.

I'll try the circle batt widget. Hopefully it'll work on mine lol

PS - I've tried googling but its of no use
[Legend General] abhishek_turbo911:
Any help guys?
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Don't know about version numbers, but at MWC 10, they said that we got the new version of HTC Sense, which was then: the 2nd version.

And then we got Froyo which updated it to some stuff, I'm NOT SURE, but we may be on par with the Gratia's/Aria's Froyo: an update to the second version of HTC Sense.

Like I already said, I don't know the numbers, but there's also the Sense with the Desire Z and Desire HD, as well with all the new phones that just came out at CES. So the third version? Maybe that.

And then the new Facebook phones and the newer versions of last year's high-end phones got updated at MWC 11 this year, so I'm guessing that's a new version of Sense as well. Flyer also got a remixed version for its software.

I just acquired a Droid Eris from my buddy of mine, when you turn it on it just stays at the screen with the 3 androids on skateboard(if I turn it on with it plugged into usb It makes the connection noise though). I can Also get into hboot and recovery but no matter what I do it will not install anything, everything just fails. Also its say its S-ON. Any help would be great, thanks.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, you didn't really say what "everything just fails" means. How about giving us an error message?

While you are at it, what version of recovery is on the phone - Amon_RA v1.6.2, or some version of Clockwork?.

Same deal for the bootloader - how about an exact version number - 1.49.0000, 1.47.0000, or other?

Because your phone is already "soft-bricked", and you got it for free, and because your recovery boots up, you can try flashing "ErisMTDNuke_v0.9.zip". You can find it at this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11651122&postcount=21

It has an an assert() in it that tries to block it from running on ClockworkMod, but depending on what version of recovery you have, that may not matter. Let me know if you get any errors running it. If it runs, you should be back in business; it leaves the /system, /data, and "boot" partitions of the ROM blank, so you will need to flash a ROM afterwards. Also, if you have ClockworkMod recovery on the phone, you should consider getting it off of there, and putting one of the two Amon_RA recovery variants on there.

You might find the entire thread that contains the above post very useful, as it describes a method for installing the S-OFF bootloader using the "SoSickWiTiT" rooting method, as well as other tricks such as using fastboot to soft-load recoveries without writing them to flash; that full thread is here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=11652502

Please provide full details on what works / doesn't work, particularly with "ErisMTDNuke_v0.9.zip" - it has only been used on 3 phones so far (worked on all three, though).

cheers

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitch666:
I dont think the phones been rooted(my friend has no idea what that even is). It has hboot 1.49.0000, and the recovery is not a custom one, its Android recovery 2e. If I try to Install an update through recovery its says installation aborted. Also if I use pb00img.zip it loads in hboot but says previous version is older and to reboot.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
OK, that is completely different. It is impossible to load a dev ROM using the stock recovery <2e>

Did you try the "wipe data/factory reset procedure" of the recovery menu, or have you already done that and then the phone hangs at the three droids?

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If the stock ( <2e> ) recovery factory reset does not work, then the method of last resort is going to be to try and get the S-OFF bootloader onto the phone using the "SoSickWiTiT" rooting method.

Generally what happens - if you have corrupted flash memory partitions - is that parts of this install will fail, but getting the engineering bootloader (1.49.2000 S-OFF) onto the phone will succeed - and from there you can leverage the behaviors of the S-OFF bootloader to get a custom recovery running (by using fastboot). Once that happens, you can run the ErisMTDNuke_v0.9.zip flash to erase the /system, /data, and "boot" partitions, so that a subsequent ROM flashing operation will succeed (probably, no guarantees).

The way the "SoSicWiTiT" rooting method works, you run the "Official 2.1 RUU" Utility on the PC - but just before it is ready to start writing to the phone (after it has unpacked all it's temporary files and installed drivers for you), you take the "Root PB00IMG.ZIP" file, rename it to "rom.zip", and replace the "rom.zip" file unpacked in the temporary file area of the RUU. This gets the S-OFF bootloader installed (at a minimum, possibly the whole rom if your problem is not flash memory page corruption).

The thread I mentioned above has more details; ask questions if you don't understand something.

bftb0

PS You should be doing all of these operations with a well charged battery - 100% is a good place to start. Don't let the phone sit in HBOOT or FASTBOOT mode for extended periods of time - the battery will discharge rapidly, even if the phone is plugged in to the charger.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitch666:
Thank you for the quick and to the point replies, I will try this later tonight and will post and let you know if it works out. I have tried the factory reset and it doesn't work, but hey it was free if I screw it up Its no big issue lol. Im not new to rooting its just I have no experience with this particular phone, so thank you =].
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
OK. Good luck.

The Root PB00IMG.ZIP and the "Official 2.1 RUU" can be found here:

Consolidated HTC RUU, Leak, and OTA Downloads

Amon_RA's original (v1.6.2) recovery is located here

If you don't have a version of fastboot on your PC/workstation already, you can find different platform versions of it a short distance down the HTC's developer page for the ADP.

If you can get the S-OFF bootloader onto the phone, then you can flash Amon_RA's recovery from the PC with a single command:

fastboot flash recovery recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img

If you don't already have USB drivers installed on your PC, the RUU utility should be able to do it for you automatically (although ymmv depending on your Xp/Vista/Win7/x32/x64 variety).

Let me know how things go.

bftb0

PS It is worth repeating - make sure your phone is well charged when you are doing any flashing.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitch666:
Yeah I know fastboot like the back of my hand(g1 and other phones that I love dearly but no longer have), im giving this a shot right now, thank bud.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Standing by.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glitch666:
No matter what the official 2.1 RUU gives me a bootloader mismatch error 140 with either the actual rom.zip or the root rom renamed to rom.zip and placed in the temp folder, let me try some more things. Edit RUU says Im going from 2.37.605.4 to 2.36.605.1. Ok so this leads me to believe it has the 4th OTA on it right?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
PS -

I might have mentioned it in that other thread, but anyway: the RUU utility will get the phone to cooperate if the phone is put into fastboot mode (or RUU mode). Normally it is expected that the phone will be booted normally when you start up the RUU... but that (obviously) isn't an option for a soft-bricked phone.

cheers
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Rats. Does that happen immediately after the RUU starts up, or only when you tell it to begin the flashing operation?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Here's another wild straw to grasp at.

If you plug the phone into your PC, and then cold-start it (normal boot), do you hear 2 USB sequences at about 5 and 9 seconds, respectively? If the kernel is alive, but looping on something.... and the prior user had USB debugging enabled, and it's a 2.1 ROM, we can probably still root it by hand across ADB.

does "adb devices" give you anything 15 or more seconds after boot-up, or does your (Windows) device manager indicate a "Composite Interface"?

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Sure sounds that way. Normally that info (the "Main Version") is stored in the misc partition, and it rather surprises me that an OTA install would cause that to happen; but I can't argue with what you are seeing.

That might mean that neither RUU nor PB00IMG.ZIP installs will work without being able to modify the RUU program to ignore version checks.

How about the adb angle - does anything come up on the USB when the 3 skating droids are showing?
