which rom? the 2.1 or 2.2 version?

the update i have for 2.1 is just the framework, won't change anything inside of apps except for menu ic's and list menu selection overlays. you can flash this over an existing 2.1 rom (.435 only) and it won't ruin the rom.

here's the 2.1 rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=984558

*note, the screens there are not updated to this framework, i'll update it in a few hours

here's the 2.2 rom

i already follow your thread.. can you please update the applications .
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] svtfmook:
i'm slowly porting it over to different aspects of my 2.1 rom now. the problem is, the stock apps on their device are different than the x10's stock apps. so not all of the changes will work. but i'm trying to get it as close as i can.

once i finalize my 2.1 rom (hopefully this weekend). i will start porting to my 2.2 rom.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] svtfmook:
the "applications" you see in the preview are launcherpro widgets on a multi-page home screen. the apps that are themed, are not compatible with the stock 2.1 apps. in order to port them to the semc stock apps, all the stock apps need to be decompiled and all the xml's would need to be rewritten.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quickfixguru:
I'm curious as to why putting the stock rom and radio from the samsung 4g to the captivate wouldn't turn the captivate into a 4g phone.

Id greatly appreciate a response from a dev.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
The hardware does not support it 4g on the captivate.

A black and white tv can receive a color signal but its still going to be displayed in black and white

Edit: also roms modems and kernels are customized for each phone so it is not as simple as drag and drop. If you tried to flash any other galaxy s rom without extensive modification you will end up bricking your phone

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgunnIT:
A few weeks ago my SD card went bad on me. :( I have been using Gingershedbread as my ROM and see there are some updates, however, since I don't have an SD card, the "normal" method of loading the zip onto the SD card obviously won't work for me.

My question is: Is there a way to flash a ROM zip from a pc (windows) to my phone without an SD card? I know you can put the zip on the data partition, then use "recovery --update_package=DATA:rom.zip" (through adb), however, when trying to copy the rom I get a message saying that there is no space left.

As of now, the only thing I know of is to do a full wipe and factory reset, then push the ROM zip to my phone, but I don't necessarily want to do this every time.

I have also tried fastboot and using mkyaffs2image to create a system.img from the ROM's system folder in the zip file, but I am not doing something right.

I run "mkyaffs2image c:\rom\system\ c:\system.img"

then with my phone in fastboot, I "fastboot flash system c:\system.img"

and "fastboot flash boot c:\rom\boot.img".

I restart the phone in recovery mode, load gapps and xtrCache, but then it reboots, sits on black screen for a few seconds, then reboots into recovery.

I have tried erasing system and boot first, but that didn't seem to help.

I first tried just flashing system.img, but that didn't work.

Not sure what I am doing wrong. Is there a way to take a ROM zip and create a system.img and boot.img that can be flashed through fastboot without an SD card? OR, is it possible to flash a ROM zip without transferring the file to my phone first? Any help would be appreciated.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgunnIT:
Thanks for the info. I figured getting a new SD would be the best solution.

I knew about the symlink and file permission stuff and was trying to flash a system img then run a zip to ser that info., but couldn't get it to work. Sounds like using fastboot might be a bad idea.

For now I think I will just have to find a rom and stick with it for a while.

I am nearing an upgrade for a new phone and looking at the Thunderbolt, which comes with an SD so I don't want to buy one just yet.

Thanks for your help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you know how to sign ROMs, it's really not a hard hack to launch an installer of the type you mention.

And, now that I've just said that, I think I have another, simpler, idea.

But first:

[SIZE=+2]How To Launch a (smallish) .zip-based Flash That's Not On the SD Card.[/SIZE]

All of the recoveries - both the stock and custom recoveries - look for a "command" file when they first start up.

It literally is named "command", i.e.: /cache/recovery/command

... and it is a simple text file with as few as one line(s) in it.

Here is an example from the most recent OTA of the contents of /cache/recovery/command:

--update_package=CACHE:8e3b63f96149.OTA_Desire_C_Verizon_WWE_2.37.605.4_2.36.605.1_release.zip

basically, it's just a single line with the following format:

--update_package=CACHE:filename.zip

So, if you are trying to get an installer to run without an SD card, you would:

1) Boot to Amon_RA

2) Wipe the cache if necessary (wipe -> wipe data/factory reset also clears /cache)

3) Push your zip file to cache:

adb push mycustominstall.zip /cache/

4) Create a command file (say, named "command.txt") with the contents:

--update_package=CACHE:mycustominstall.zip

5) Push it to the phone:

adb push command.txt /cache/recovery/command

6) reboot directly back into recovery with

adb shell reboot recovery

When the recovery boots up again, it will immediately start unpacking your "mycustominstall.zip" file.

After I thought this all the way through, I realized, though: a lot of the ROM files are only about 100 MB, and cache is about 128 Mb, so

.... wait for it .....

... wait for it ....

it might be a worthwhile experiment to just push an untouched ROM file right to cache and then use that ROM file's name in your "command" file.

So long as /sbin/recovery does not unpack files to /cache (I can't remember if it does this or not!), you could use original ROM files -- just what you wanted originally. If it unpacks things to cache, though, it will only get part way through the install and fail.

It's worth a shot; if it fails, you'll have a mess that is no worse to clean up than what you've presently got. (If it fails, to be on the safe side it might be wise to go in using adb and clean things up in /cache a little bit so that the next recovery boot has some wiggle room in /cache - e.g. "adb shell rm -rf /cache/*" )

At least all that typing wasn' t in vain.

Out of curiosity, how big was the ROM file you used?

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgunnIT:
Been meaning to post this:

Thanks for your posts roirraW "edor" ehT and bftb0 for posting this. I also was able to clear the cache and push the ROM and update.

However, I have xtrCMCache2cache on my phone, so the dalvik-cache was moved from /data/ to /cache/. After doing a wipe of dalvik-cache from Amon recovery, the folder in /cache/ was not emptied out. I went ahead and cleaned it manually, which freed up enough space to push the ROM.

Is this behavior expected using cache2cache and wiping dalvik-cache from recovery? I guess it would be since the dalvik-cache was moved.

Anyway, after clearing the dalvik folder, I was able to push GSBv2.4 to my phone, as well as gapps and xtrCMCache2cache, a total of almost 80 MB. Rebooted and all was well.

Thanks again for your help.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roirraW "edor" ehT:
It was all bftb0. Interesting, I had once asked if cache was definitely wiped from Amon after it was moved. The consensus was that it should. I shall be anticipating some light shed on this.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Well, Amon_RA has no idea whether you are using cache2cache; I suppose we would need to look at the code to figure out how it behaves.

If it mounts /data and then does something like

rm -rf /data/dalvik-cache

there is a chance that the symbolic link is not followed, which would explain what kgunnIT observed.

Normally, if you are flashing a new ROM in a full-wipe fashion, the " wipe data/factory reset" menu option clears both /data and /cache, so in that case it is irrelevant that the "wipe dalvik-cache" is a no-op.

If you are overflashing, it's not obvious that you need to wipe the dalvik-cache... at least for the market apps normally stored in /data/app, although it seems like it would be a good idea to do so, as the system apps could be changing.

Note that even when cache2cache is not in use, the Amon_RA menu item "wipe dalvik-cache" never works as intended for froyo & gingerbread ROMs - the system apps have their dalvik-cache stored in /cache, and this never gets touched by Amon_RA with that menu operation.

BTW... for what it's worth, the ClockworkMod recoveryhas a menu entry for wiping only the cache.

bftb0
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kgunnIT:
Does ClockworkMod recovery work ok on the Droid Eris? I was going to load it on, but saw some people posting that it bricked their phones, so now I am skeptical. I will do more research and see if this is something I want to do. Thanks for your insight.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
There is a version of Amon_RA (the trackball-optional version) that also allows you to format cache. You can find out more about it here: http://androidforums.com/eris-all-t...2-custom-recovery-trackball-not-required.html

That said, if you have ROM Manager, you can have Clockwork Recovery start as a stub within Amon_RA just from ROM Manager (the first option copies a file called update.zip to the root of your SD card, and the second, "Reboot into Recovery", starts Amon_RA with a script to flash update.zip, which starts Clockwork.) In fact, once update.zip is on the SD card, you can start Amon_RA as you always do, go to the Flash a zip from SD card menu, choose update .zip, and it will start Clockwork, if you want to do it that way. However, the drawback to this is that you can't go back to Amon_RA without shutting down the phone and then restarting in Recovery again, so I just find it easier to use the trackball-optional version of Amon_RA.

I think every person who has bricked their Eris while running Clockwork was running Clockwork Recovery as their main recovery image, and not in the way that I described in the last paragraph. (Though don't hold me to that ...)

I was running Cyanogen 6.1 on my HTC Dream fine, after that i decided for full downgrade. So i searched google for it and found the cyanogen wiki for doing it. I followed each step and after flashing DREAIMG.NBH to my phone, it restarted. And so it entered a boot loop. I took off the batery and then tried to enter recovery or the bootloader.When powering the phone normally, i see the T-Mobile logo, and after that, the screen turns black. Whenever i try Camera + Power, after the logo it goes to black screen. Home + Power points the same thing and so does back + power. Fastboot doesn't seem to work even though i have all drivers properly installed and the Android ADB Device

shows

under Device Manager.

I know i messed up because i didn't wipe before the downgrade. If there is any possibility to repair it? If so..what is to be done?

Thank you in advance!

Hey everyone, I just got my tp2 in the mail today, this thing is much slower than I anticipated it being. this is saying something as I am coming form a WM5 HP HW6925 model. It just seems to take forever to get from one option to the next i dont know if Im missing something.

Is there anything I should know about, there is such a wealth of knowledge on here I dont even knew where to begin.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] PUTALE:
first of all, if you did not have the latest official rom, be sure to flash it (you can get it from HTC's official site).

in order ot really speed up your device, you probably need to root it and flash custom rom in my opinion. it adds a lot of feature and also makes the device much faster. check the custom rom section/.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] MDavisiw:
Ok one thing that's got me lost is the GPS. On my old phone I had a file I had to download every 3 days that informed the phone where the satellites were in order to allow the GPS to get a quicker track. On this phone I see nothing mentioning the GPS besides A-GPS.

I do not have a data plan, but I have used the internal GPS on my old phone just fine without it, is this going to be an issue with this phone?

I used the standalone TomTom for my old phone, i see tom tom may not be an option currently on this phone but I can find other non data requiring programs, but does the GPS depend on data? or is AGPS just based off the cell signal?

thanks!

Some applications will accept the _ (underscore) fine.

But other applications or command boxes will interprite it incorrectly.

I have tried selecting the underscore from hardware and on screen keyboards.

Sometime the underscore does not show up. Sometimes it appears to add spaces before and after it

I dl the gingerbread keyboad and no change. I think I will find thread for the gingerbread keyboard. If there is one. Please help. Kind of hard to put in correct email addresses when it contains the underscore and it does not work right.

And btw. It appears that the underscore is going to work until you submit the form or other input box on webpages or applications.

It works fine on gmail logon, but not for xda logon via browser or xda app.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] donharden2002:
I hope it's true also. I'm getting my captivate back from being repaired tomorrow so I will be returning my atrix tomorrow also.

I've tried to like both the inspire and the atrix but for some reason just can't. In my opinion although they may be faster they just don't match up to my captivate. I find myself using my wifes captivate more than my atrix even though she has a pink case on it. :)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CCSracer13:
How do you like the Captivate? I have always been an 'HTC Man' and the Infuse will be my first Samsung. Can you compare the Samsung UI to HTC Sense? Anything else that I should be aware of? Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] donharden2002:
I think those that are use to sense on the htc phones will need some time to adjust to samsungs ui. I'm mainly basing my judgement on the screen itself which on the captivate is only bettered by the iphone 4 in my experience.

The infuse has an updated version of the screen. They are calling it super amoled plus, it's supposed to look better than the iphone from what I've read.

I tried getting use to sense on the htc inspire 4g but after using my captivate and launcher pro and adw launchers I just couldn't get use to it. Being that your an htc guy you may want to look at the incredible s which is also at the site I listed, from what I've read it will work on att. Not 100% on that but it's worth looking in to.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] FLAC Vest:
Yea that's how I feel; I always knew the phone was slated to be released here eventually but it got slid under the rug by all of the new phones coming out now. I have an upgrade so it is going to he really hard holding on to it when this releases.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FLAC Vest:
The Captivate is a pretty good phone; fast, has alright battery life, and a great screen, but INO it needs to be rooted and nodded to make it good.

You should definitely get a custom rom on the phone; without putting one on, you're going tovhave to deal without the lag that comes froohone'phone's file system.

The GPS isnt that great either.

All in all, it was a great phone when it came out but it isn't really worth buying now; there are.better phones out there.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Phytrax:
Well I have to disagree with FLAC Vest. I happen to think the Captivate is a GREAT phone overall. Yes, you definitely need to put a custom ROM, but doing so makes the performance extremely good and the GPS is just fine if outside or on your dashboard.

The Super AMOLED screen is great, contrast is amazing. I prefer it to the iPhone retina display. Super AMOLED Plus should be even better. I'm really looking forward to the 4.5" screen of the infuse but may wait for a aftermarket battery.

My only gripe with the Captivate is BATTERY, BATTERY, BATTERY. I bought a 3200mah Mugen and it makes a world of difference, I can finally go a whole day without charging instead of 3pm recharges. Only problem is cases don't fit.

I looked at the Atrix because of the bigger battery but it appears that Motorola are almost impossible to put a custom ROM on and the Motoblur interface is consistently bashed on the internet. Just flipping through home screens was DRAMATICALLY slower than my Captivate using ADW Launcher.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] FLAC Vest:
@Phytrax

You make some good points, thanks for making that comment. I think we will both agree that the battery life with stock batteries sucks though.

After having the phone for about a month, I bought 2 spare batteries and a ccharger off of eBay; that definitely remedied the problems.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] magnumrt562:
ive had my craptivate since june. My wife has the inspire 4g. As of right now, the inspire is WAY better than the captivate. I have a custom rom, oc/uv etc... and her stock phone is just as fast, gets better battery with a bigger screen and smaller battery? The screen is good. The gps works on hers etc. The captivate is pretty good after you root, rom, tweak the hell out of it, the htc is good out of the box. Thats the difference. At this point, im getting the infuse when it comes out, with the hope that it is good out of the box. If it sucks, im just going return it and get the htc. Samsung gets one more chance from me. The sgs2 is great, but its going to be too pricey, and it probably wont be THAT great, ala MOTOROLA ATRIX. LOL
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Phytrax:
My wife and I really liked the Inspire 4g but the 1250mah battery scares the hell out of me. Even the talk time numbers show it not lasting as long as the Captivate. I suspect your wife doesn't use her phone as much as you but I'd love to see some real numbers. Maybe you can fully charge both of them and then see how long you can play a certain movie?? With my Mugen battery I can watch a 2 hr movie and have 70% battery left.

I was very impressed with the performance of the Inspire in the store though, much smoother than the Atrix, and the screen was better than I expected.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheBassman369:

I'm also interested in this. I was hoping to use my upgrade on an Atrix, but after hearing about all the issues it has, I think I'll hold out for the Infuse. I have friends that have Galaxy S variants and they seem really happy with their phones.

Maybe I'll just get an iPhone and use it until the Infuse comes out, then jailbreak and unlock it, sell it on eBay and buy the Infuse at full price.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] donharden2002:
When I had my inspire I got pretty good battery life out of it but just couldn't get use to that screen on it.

Just my opinion but the screen was horrible compared to the captivate screen.

Now I have an atrix sitting in its box waiting and hoping that the infuse does come out on the 31st. If not I might just return the atrix and buy a tablet instead.

I had high hopes for both the inspire and atrix but neither matched up to my captivate. Guess with warm weather coming its time to stop playing with the phones and get the boat ready for bass fishing.

I keep checking the cells4you.com site and they still have the infuse listed as coming on the 31st.

I am hoping to hear something at ctia but its not looking very good on the phone front. Tablets are stealing the show.
