[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gpeterson:
Thank you for your input. I've been giving generous time (and donations) to each launcher mentioned (if I could find it) and got them all to work to my satisfaction (even Go Launcher finally works right). Zeam is lightweight, but for a big boy phone like the Epic, a lightweight launcher doesn't seem necessary. Why not go big?

I love ADW, and it seems to be the most stable, and customizable of the lot. Hated Launcher 7. The fact that there is no designated home screen (that I could find) on Launcher Pro leaves me always wanting a bit more... so although LP is solid, it doesn't fit yet. I can't wait to try out the SenseMod though and see if that makes a difference. Got GO Launcher working smoothly and am bouncing back and forth between that and ADW right now. I really like both.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DCRocks:
I use LP

I dont run any widgets, and keep my homescreens 100% clear.

I liek I can set the home screens to 1, and the scrollable dock is my fav feature of all the launchers.

From time to time I will use the picture widget, and love how with the paid version, I can resize the picture frame.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBM7881:
tired them all and finally settled on Zeam...fast, simple, cand clean. its really nice.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bjhill2112:
Was using Zeam for a while, but too basic. Switched to ADW (free) and really liked the App Draw with the ability to create groups. Seemed like a bit of a hog though, so I'm trying out GO Launcher Ex. Really like it - except that every time the launcher has to reload (either from a reboot or from running too intense of a game like Gun Bros) it screws up the icons for screens 3 (default) and 4 - some of them drop off, and it dupes the rest on the other screen, sometimes overlaps them.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JettMartinez:
LP for Me

I haven't tried all of them, but from what I have tried I prefer Launcher Pro.

I really like the scrollable and customizable dock at the buttom and the option for an extra column on the homescreens.

I cant load it at work due to not having .net framework 4 so can someone else try this?

I just sideloaded it. I couldn't even get it to open. Force Closed as soon as I tried. I rebooted and got a Netflix Force Close as soon as the phone started

Dang it I'm so looking forward to having netflix on this phone. I love me some netflix! Hope the drm lib was compiled into the hardware. I have heard yay and nay on if it is or not. No hard evidence though.

Sadly it doesn't work, at least not yet. I was able to install, launch, and sign in to my account successfully. I am able to manage my instant que, but that's about it. I am not experiencing any force close errors, but maybe it's because I am rooted and run Gingerbread.
[HTC Inspire 4G] IsraelR:
From what I've read in the other forums, it sounds like there is a lot more to it than just dropping in the apk.

HELP!!!

I cannot reboot in recovery mode anymore.

I reainstalled clockworkmod from RomManager.

I tried everything:

1 - Rebooting in Recovery from ROM Manager

2 - Press vlup + power and then choosing recovery

3 - Press vldown + power

Only "Google" logo appears... nothing else.

Any idea?

TIA
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MarkVis:
Go back into your rom manager and at the very bottom select all recoveries. Install an older version of clockwork. That should work.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dvigue:
i owned the hd2 before we could load android without using the sd card.. i may get one and come back to the hd2

1. i am on att, can i unlock the tmobile hd2 for use on att? can i use my iphone micro sim?

2. how is the battery life on the android builds using nand?

3. it looks like there is a TON of devs working with the hd2, is that still true?

thanks all. hope to come back
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Skellyyy:
Yes you can unlock the TMo phone and use it on AT&T. That's really the only bad thing about NAND Android on the HD2 is battery life, you might get a days use out of it with light use but if you're moderate/heavy expect only 3/4/5 hours battery life max.

Your microsim won't work directly as only iPhones use micro-sim but you can easily get a little adapter to make it a full size again. :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dvigue:
so is using androind with the SD card better battery life?

also, how easy is it to unlock the hd2? cost money? what sites will sell the code?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
i thought it was only the iphone 4 that used the micro sim ?

Thats the same instructions from the gfree thread.

How is this different?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] easeback:
if this is the same then why the hell are people not getting it?! im seeing a lot of people regarding that the newer MT4G with bootloader .86 is extremely hard or damn near impossibly to S-off if this doesnt explain how to do it in lamens term then these people are true NOOBS and should stick with their STORM 2 stick with the basics and not with the FAKE Sh**t!. just trying to help
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
mine had bootloader 86 and it rooted just fine. People just need to follow the directions better.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
My phone has 86. Bootloader and it took me bout 15 min using gfree method still has 86. Bootloader i didnt do eng but root was easy as pie
[myTouch 4G Android Development] cbetso:
He took out the the extra talk and just put it very simple it shouldn't take no more the 5 min to do
[myTouch 4G Android Development] smirkis:
this thread is beyond unnecessary.

i told those guys over n over they were doing it wrong lol. my phone came with .86 also and never had any issues.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] verysick:
Hes just trying to help but, it doesnt matter how many people post this, some of them still don't know how to follow instructions. Thanks for helping the noobs.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
Call me naive, but where do I obtain version 0.86.0000? My phone has 0.85.2007.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
Version 0.86.0000 is what ur phone comes with u have yhe eng
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
I have the engineering bootloader? I don't know how that's possible since I never changed it. I just rooted and installed CWM.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] option94:
You have the eng bootloader. Your better off with it.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jdkoren:
Yes, ALL the MT4Gs (at least all the ones I've seen) come with the 0.86.0000 bootloader. There shouldn't be any reason for this preventing you from rooting. The 0.85.2007 is the engineering bootloader. You get this either by manually flashing it (as per the instructions in grankin's true permroot thread) or if you used the root.sh script (such as those of us who followed theunlockr.com's walkthrough).

If you aren't succeeding with the gfree method, either you aren't following instructions properly or something else is interfering. My friend couldn't get VISIONary to temproot, but after uninstalling one of his file explorer apps, all of a sudden VISIONary worked.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] mustk1ll20:
Same here. Got mine the 11th of this month and rooted first try no problem.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] TeeJay3800:
The method I used did include running the root.sh script, so that must be how I got the engineering bootloader. Thanks for the info.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] vabeach454:
That is correct... The root.sh includes the engineering bootloader within it and it is the better of the 2. I suggest installing it and you will not have any more problems. :D
[myTouch 4G Android Development] jpcdeux:
SWEET! Thanks! I missed the other 50 threads with these directions!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] lowandbehold:
Just a tip for people having problems rooting using the gfree method. Follow the instructions to the "T" and it works. As for the commands for terminal emulator...copy and paste them to a word document so you can be sure where there are spaces, and make sure that your 0's are not O's and so forth...Don't be afraid to ask for help, there are alot of nice people on this forum that will help you out.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] aalsmadi1:
thnx

thanks alot for this, idk why people on xda don't know how to speak in laymans terms, i guess it's to drive the noobies away, i've been around here since cyanogen had 3.0 on the G1, and i shyed away from using the gfree method on my buddies phone since it looked complicated (didn't want to do alot of reading and work) and i was just wanting to do it fast.

this thread simplified things for me so i can know what i'm doing, also i didn't want to download root explorere (dont' wanna pay $4) so i just pushed every file manualy using adb.

"adb push c:/blah data/local"

[myTouch 4G Android Development] konsts:
Thanks for the tutorial but quick question. I have a couple /data folders (on my operating system and on my SD Card) but neither of them have /local folders inside (I made sure all hidden files are shown).

second question is should i just move the gfree stuff into one of the data folders, or should i create a local folder?

I ended up creating a /local in /data, pasted all the gfree files (not just the entire unzipped folder), typed the commands in terminal and after "chmod 777 gfree" i get "Unable to chmod gfree: No such file or directory"

UPDATE:

changed the directory to /mnt/sdcard/data/loca (this is the full directory ((i use astro))) then chmod 777 gfree and it seemed to work, but then i type ./gfree -f and it says "./gfree: permission denied" someone please help!
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
are u typing in su before u start typing gfree commands sound like I not getting su permission
[myTouch 4G Android Development] konsts:
yes i typed su to get superuser permission. This is confirmed because my command line starts with "#" instead of "$"
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
I used grankins method and all I did was move the one gfree file he mentioned Into data/local and left all the other on his thread it said not to move all the files and it worked on the first try not sure why u would be getting that error
[myTouch 4G Android Development] konsts:
Did you have a /local in data or did you have to create the folder?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] elry567:
I had a local already
[myTouch 4G Android Development] konsts:
Is my phone the only one that didn't??? I've tried the sh root.sh way, and the gfree way and I can't perm root if my life depended on it. This is uncool...

my phone is already premrooted and flash many ROMS. i have tried gfree'ing my phone and i kinda followed the steps in this link but i can get my hboot to change to .86 and my CID to 11111111. what would i have to do?
[myTouch 4G Android Development] theshowman:
Thanks for the instructions.

It worked on my mytouch 4g which already had HBOOT 0.86.0000.

I used Visionary plus r14.
[myTouch 4G Android Development] sn0warmy:
OP, I owe you a huge thanks. I could not get my new MT4G rooted for the life of me with the 0.86 bootloader while trying every other method (which worked on my previous MT4G). With your instructions I was able to finally get it rooted!

[Thunderbolt General] lootnplunder:
Anyone taking bets on if this will work on the Thunderbolt? I guess we can find out if the DRM really is built into the 2nd gen snap dragons. I am hoping that's why it was leaked in the first place. Seems odd it happened right at the thunderbolt release.

Hello all,

I just cannot believe what I am seeing!

I currently use CyanogenMod 7 and was sad because I couldn't find voice search in the Market.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avetny:
Lol! Funny thread
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waza_Be:
Why is that a funny thread?

Because you live in America and you have access to all Google services?

Please think about all other countries that have to cross their fingers each time there is a new product/service/application to know if that will be available in their country.

That's just amazing that we have no information on why we have access to a limited services and having restriction on basic stuff like voice search because we live in other country than America.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
I guess voice search is tailored for each language? Hence the lack of support. I know voice search initially supported only English, more languages were added later on. If your language is currently not supported, I guess that would be the reason why it's not available in your country.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waza_Be:
Google voice search work pretty well in english and french-dutch-german (our 3 national langages)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbj:
Hey all

Longtime lurker (i think i have some very old posts in here).

I acquired a galaxy and so far im pretty satisfied. But still only so-so. My wife has the iPhone4, which is also a great phone, and what i envy most about it, is the super fluid, instant response you get while working around the UI. Scrolling, opening programs... everything is incredibly smoot. Not so much on the Galaxy.

I tried doing the lagfix and rooting it also. It helped nicely with the loading times of programs, but the UI still isnt as smooth as the iPhones. And this is something i dont get. The galaxy is one of the most powerfull handsets out there, but still cant reach the lvl of smoothness as you get on an iPhone.

I ran Quadrant after appyling root/lagfix and scored a 2200+. Thats a pretty great score. But still doesnt feel as snappy and responsive as i find it should.

Ok well, what i want to know... is there anything out there that could help improve the UI responsiveness? Another ROM? Another Kernel? Or is this something that is just inherent with Android and/or Samsung, in a way that i will never have that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
First of all, ignore Quadrant. If you rooted and did a lagfix on the stock firmware, then you likely used OCLF. Ext2 from OCLF inflates Quadrant scores due to the looping method it uses. The only real way to judge your phone's speed is out it feels to you, and if it feels sluggish then you have work to do, regardless of the Q score.

I would definitely recommend flashing a new kernel. You should start with Speedmod (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=822756), just because Hardcore's instructions for flashing the first time with Odin are very clear and complete. Follow them exactly and you should be good and then you can use a program like SGS Kernel Flasher to try other options easily (just remember to undo lagfixes and tweaks in between flashes).

Personally I have used Speedmod, Super Optimized and Ultimate Kernel and they are all fast with good performance. For me the best has been Ultimate (with all Ext2 lagfix) but each person and phone are different, so play around with different choices. If you wish to go all out, you can read up here about flashing the Mod as well.

I was also quite dismayed and surprised by the performance of my Galaxy out of the box, but now with a smoking kernel and lagfix in place, it is easily as smooth as iOS.

Good luck, and enjoy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cHarOn99:
i think the most important thing is first flash one of the new firmware 2.2.1 like JS7 then it will run already smooth, if thats not enough then you still can flash a newer kernel hardcore or voodoo kernel and lagfix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbj:
Thanks, lagfix?

Thanks guys.

Ok i will stop using Quadrant as a benchmark for my UI experience. :)

Ok, flashing a new kernel. Great with some oppinions too. What are the Go-to kernels right now? Those 3 you mentioned?

And regarding lagfix, i though lagfix was almost always a part of a customer kernel? And if not, which lagfix should i use?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rschenck:
I suggest starting with Speedmod just for Hardcore's great instructions. However, if you are not satisfied or wish to try other options Speedmod can just be your entry drug. Once you have flashed once, you can install Clockwork Mod recovery and SGS Kernel Flasher and really go to town. There are lots of great kernels down in the Android Development thread, I just listed the three I myself have tried. Read up on them, and try the ones that have the features you are looking for.

As for which lagfix, again that is a matter of personal preference. Some say Ext4 is safer, some say Ext2 is faster, some are jfs fans, some say even stranger things. Each kernel has a different approach, as well. Again, take solid backups with SGS Kernel Flasher or ROM Manager and try each method for yourself. Just remember, be home when the clock strikes midnight, and undo all lagfixes and tweaks before flashing each time (and remember, if you used OCLF to do your current lagfix, you need to go back into that app and undo all it's changes before flashing Speedmod, or BAD things will happen).
