[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wfooffroad:
So I'm a little confused. I was in the process of downloading the KB5DeodexV18.tar and after reading farther into the posts I started reading that this is now working or is working with some minor bug. Is that correct?

Also is there a version 1.9 out that can be downloaded as well?

and finally, Does anyone have a complete stock image or know where one can be downloaded from?

I love messing with my phone seeing what it can do but its also nice to have a back up in case you go to far.

Thank You for any help that can be given!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Just finished testing. It worked. I dropped over 120MB. How's that for shrinkage?;)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
1.9 is currently uploading (5min to go) Stock Rom is in the Dev section by Krylon. Seek and ye shall find.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickballs:
i cant load 1.8 it gets stuck on factoryfs.rfs, but ill try 1.9 though
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
wow! 120mb? that's awesome! is this on the TW version uploaded?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Nope, gotta wait until tomorrow I'm afraid. The changes weren't fully tested until after I'd already begun uploading v1.9. I may not release 2.0 until late tomorrow because I'd like to make sure we don't have anymore little gremlins like the last batch. I want to get this right for you guys, but you gotta work on limited testing time when you've got a 15 month old hanging off your leg and a wife who wants her living room painted.:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
hehe.. no problem.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
TW Version 1.9

there's still a little gremlin in this one.. i think its the ginger bread keyboard. Ginger bread keyboard is Force Closing. Extra unlock screen menu is still in the Display Settings but its not working. I think this is due to removing those extra unlock screens. can you add these unlock screens on tomorrows release?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
X2
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
you flashed??? LOL.. i found 2 so far on this 1.9 build. did you find anything else?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] tyyamamoto:
Swype is working fine though so this version didn't keep force closing like 1.8. I finally feel like we are going to get serious roms and development soon :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] wfooffroad:
Thank you for the fast reply and update!!!!

Im looking forward to trying 1.9 =)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
i think so too.. to me it feels solid except for those lil gremlins. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
No not yet. I meant X2 on the lockscreens. But then again I'm using widgetlocker.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Could someone please toss up a screenshots or a video of this in action? I'd like to take a look at it before I attempt an install.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Same here, I love my widgetlocker. Did you guys try installing the files from the OP over GB keyboard to fix it?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
Hows the new ROM? Any bugs?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
A few. I'm calling an exterminator. Or I'm just pulling GB keyboard for now... whichever...

Check OP in a few minutes for the 120+MB free-up solution
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
I'll see what I can do about the lockscreens. They were breaking the system after the new deodex. In the meantime, try that 125MB fix in the OP. It makes a hella difference. I'll post the original fota file soon in case anyone goes back to complete stock and wants to restore it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Man, you are busy !

I am running 1.5 I think. Never updated to 1.8-1.9 last night. I just downloaded the gingerbread keyboard from the market and have no issues. Just thought I would let you know.

Thanks for the hard work. Don't get to burnt out. ;-)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Lol, the version changes aren't TOO significant. I'm hoping for big changes in V2.0. At least for now we've got a lot more free memory and only one or two minor bugs.

By Jove, we're dev-ing now! Ho ho ho!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
Holy crap! I got 277mb free from153mb!

What about the fota_delta_dp2?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Fota Delta DP2 in my system already sits at 0mb. Is yours different?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
Mine still sits at 125mb :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
thats because my fix only works with DP1. I never implemented DP2. But I'll add it into the zip file in a little bit.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] t-mo123:
Thank you

I have been reading this thread over the past few days and I am starting to see how much work and cooperation it takes to cook a well tested and fully optimized ROM. I just wanted to thank you for all your hard work and offer one man's lowly gratitude. It is greatly appreciated and I will definitely be donating when I am not broke. Lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
Woot! 404mb available!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
$ adb shell
# ls -l /data/fota
-rw------- app_51 app_51 131072000 2011-02-10 00:51 fota_delta_dp1
-rw------- app_51 app_51 131072000 2011-02-10 00:52 fota_delta_dp2
# cat /dev/null > /data/fota/fota_delta_dp1
# cat /dev/null > /data/fota/fota_delta_dp2

should do the trick as well. (Only do the second if you already have the file, as shown by the "ls" command.)

Of course, if the OTA updater kicks in and you don't have enough space reserved, all bets on the stability of your system are off!

Since the files, at least at first glance, appear to be just "ones" they compress pretty well.

$ tar tvf data_fota.tbz
-rw------- 10051/10051 131072000 2011-02-09 16:51 fota_delta_dp1
-rw------- 10051/10051 131072000 2011-02-09 16:52 fota_delta_dp2

You should be able to restore with, for example

$ adb push data_fota.tbz /mnt/sdcard/
$ adb shell
# cd /data/fota
# busybox tar xvf /mnt/sdcard/data_fota.tbz

Note: file uploaded with "bogus" .tar extension. You may wish to remove the .tar and keep the "correct" .tbz extension only.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
I Flashed finally lol. So no more stock and did the fota.zip and got 333mb free.

Just wondering if everyone cleared user data and cache after flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Or you can just delete the two fota files I uploaded, reboot, and they should restore as they were.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
I always clear my user data and cache everytime I flash and restore them using Titanium Backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Just PLEASE don't flash system apps from an ODEX rom via Titanium. It will restore the odex version, not the deodexed version and this can cause you issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
I have created a new backup since I flashed to this deodexed ROM. and thats what I use to restore back.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fknfocused:
woot woot 356mb! thanks Aloneinshadow!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
You'll all be pleased to hear that you're probably about to run into a little extra free space. I've been re-doing all the ODEX files with a higher compression optimization so they don't take up as much room as they've been doing. I'm also removing ALL the bloat. Don't worry, I'm going to put a zip file in the OP that contains ALL (and I do mean ALL) the bloat that originally came on the phone so you can install only the ones you want, thanks to files provided by Chadster214. The Chad is great.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Thanks for you and the chadster when I get to my Mac.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lrosado:
That is awesome! When do you think you'll be releasing the next version?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TheShadowMan:
Probably sometime tomorrow morning or afternoon (EST) I'd like to make sure there's no bugs and make sure I squeeze as much space out of this thing as possible.

just a FYI the SGS tools app which allows you to replace your tw launcher, email, contacts, and gallery app works for our sgs 4G. i have tried em all and can confirm they are all working. If you want to go back the scripts dont work, but you just need to move the stock apk back from sd>sgstools>xxx.apk into system>app> using root explorer or similar... and it will revert.

Noob question:

What does this actually do? Is it basically a "re-imaged" version of the OS without bloat or is it something else?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bl4ckpheniX:
Thanks for being nice, lets keep this forum like that. Its one thing. I didn't like about the vibrant forum.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] faceved2:
Basic info

its a de-odexed (themeable once cwm is out) light(size) ROM and does remove some of the bloatware. plus with the fota.zip on the OP you will have about 400MB of space to start with :). I feel its a lot smoother and responsive compared to the OG ROM
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sitnlow4life:
Quick question

I am a little confused with the directions for freeing up the extra space.

I downloaded the zip

I am supposed to unzip it to the phones external sd card?

If so how would I be able to unzip it again using root explorer?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] faceved2:
download the zip to ur sd card...

unzip using root explorer by holding and scrolling to extract...

once extracted...go to extracted folder is sd card...

move both files over to the fota folder...

reboot and tada... :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] sitnlow4life:
Thank you for your help

I got the first 2 parts down no problem

I have a file unzipped on my sd card called fota

within that file i have both of the fota files

where do I move them to?

I dont see a fota folder

I only see a Fota file in the root directory and it says its an exacuteable file so i can paste there

Any ideas?

Thanks Again
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chadster214:
Any ETA on this Bro?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beefvvl:
Did you go to DATA/FOTA? The two fota files you replace are in there.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] flyinbird93:
I flashed this, works really well so far. Although, I did your trick to gain 150+ megs free space on my g/f's phone too without the rom flashed to it. Handy if people are afraid if using odin or flashing their phone.

It's not for sure yet it has to pass the fcc and another organization whose name I can't remember off the top of my head. It'll take a year at least if it is to pass it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 404glitch:
Yeah, T-Mo has already announced that even if the deal goes through, it will take a year for everything to be finalized. And I'd imagine that whatever plan T-Mo users have, they'll be able to keep; at least until they want a new (locked) phone.

But regardless, keep up the good work guys! Fight the Power! :D

But the second phone cant restore my nandroid it says its there and does the whole process, But when i turn on the phone it doesnt present the factory bootloop its just get stuck with the rom it flashed. The phone thats working I flashed the axura rom the other was simply amazing 2.5 that got stuck. I can access the clock -recovery menu I have tried to install the rom and restore my nandroid, but none work. What can I do thanks?

Ps Is there a way that i can access the internal phone memory to put a new rom to flash to?

[Windows Phone 7 General] cdressler:
Is there currently a hack, custom ROM, or other way to prevent the screen from dimming way down when on screens with lots of white (like the email/Outlook screen). Even when I have brightness set to "HIGH" and Auto to "OFF", all the other screens are really bright. But when I go to the email screen (or any other app that has a white background), the Focus automatically dims it way down. I'm sure this is to save battery or eye-strain on white screens, but I'd like it to be much brighter if possible.

Thanks!
[Windows Phone 7 General] Perlnx:
Yeah, It's look hard but I want it on my HD7 too.

because the auto-brightness on WP7 was not smart so much compare to the other.

It's not give the lowest brightness when enter into the dark room (that's hurt my eye) and not bright enough when enter into the sunlight.
[Windows Phone 7 General] drleospaceman:
Nope. It's programmed into the pentile display driver. Total deal-breaker for me.

The auto-brightness setting in WP7 adjusts a screen's brightness based only on the ambient light sensor. The Focus and Omnia 7 dim their screen if they're displaying a majority of white pixels, even with auto-brightness off and set to high.
[Windows Phone 7 General] GuestK00306:
Switch to the white theme. It happens so frequetly now that I don't even register it!

OK, so that's not a solution :) but give it a go, it bugged the hell out of me at the start but now ive forgotten it even does it.

I understand why they've done it, but really it should follow the brightness setting if they're worked about battery life.

So i remember i was playing around with som roms a while back and there used to be this awesome clock app that i believe was the stock from SonofSkywalker's blackhole. What i loved about it so much was it had some interesting advanced alarms that would fade in and it had sounds like the rain and forest. I do remember it came with the phone and was not an app that i could just grab from the market. Would anyone by chance have this apk or something very similar. I dont want to grab something from the market. I kinda want to stick with more stock apps than not as I work out a couple up comming themes.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CrushD:
You are looking for clockpackage.apk. If you are on Froyo, then you can use the version from Adrynalyne's SuperClean thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=983395 just scroll down til you see "clock package (includes infoalarm" and that will give you back the clock. Regardless, if you can get your hands on an Eclair clockpackage.apk instead, I would strongly suggest it. Eclair clockpackage works better (and works for froyo), it knows to set the day correctly when using "Repeat Only Once", Froyo one stupidly doesn't. If you still have the blackhole ROM zip file, you'll find it in the /system/app folder, just grab the clockpackage.apk there.

Well, either you can return it to stock via the wiki's method and re-root to do it yourself, or you can just install ROM manger and flash a new ROM. There are rooted versions of the stock ROM, as well as many many others. Check the dev section for the listing.

Download ROM Manager if not already installed.. Download a rom of your liking, go to the g2 development sectionbof this forum and browse till you find a good one.. gingervillain 1.5 is stable, I'm on fire and ice rom, its much more stable.. I don't recommend full sense at all.. you can also download a rom straight from rom manager

Check to see if there are any back-ups in rom manager and delete it to free up memory..

Install rom using manager than login to ur gmail account at the set up so its 100% yours and not the guy you traded with!

Have fun, learning how to do it urself doesn't matter as it takes 10 seconds to do anyway with a chance of bricking.. the guy you traded with not only saved you 10 seconds but also a risk of messing up your phone, some noobs never make it past the htc white screen.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gwanatu:
Exactly. Rooting can be the difficult and potentially frustrating part. Flashing new roms is a sinch. One thing you should always keep in mind when flashing:

-ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP. When in Clockwork Recovery (you can get to this by going in to ROM manager and selecting "boot into recovery", go down to the "backups and restore" section, and click backup. Simple as that. Doing this every time you are going to make any change, whether it's flashing to a new ROM or just flashing a theme or something simple like that, will save you time, stress and headache if you need to revert back to what was working.

Personally I prefer the GingerMex roms over anything else. They are Gingerbread roms (Android 2.3) that are based on Cyanogenmod 7.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astriaos:
While this is very true, I found the wiki convoluted and difficult to understand when I was initially starting on my adventure of smartphone ownership and modification. While these forums are excellent in many ways, often posters assume you have done a large amount of fundamental research on terms, procedures, and have studied things like adb, or that you will automatically know to turn off usb debugging when connecting to a computer and doing a rom swap.

All of these things ultimately made me shy away from relying on xda as my sole information provider as lets face it: this place can be a daunting mess to those who have not, or are unwilling to put in the time to unraveling the often ill punctuated morass.
