Anyone know where to find the AT&T factory installed ROM with all uninstallable bloatware for the Captivate? I've got an external speaker that works intermittently and am under warranty, just want to remove any traces of rooting/custom ROM flashing before I begin the process. I believe it was version 2.1.1 or 2.1-a or something like that. I am aware of and have used Odin, that is not what I am looking for. edit: after some further research, it looks like Odin JH7 might be what I'm looking for, can someone confirm it's the exact same rom that was pushed OTA back in September, bloatware included? edit2: I'm an idiot, Odin does have all the bloat. Don't know how I got it in my head that it didn't. neato burrito fucked around with this message at 06:29 on Feb 16, 2011 |

They don't do official system images as far as I know. They did a ROM update when it came out, and they released the code to AOSP. Both of these have happened for the NS, but the NS is apparently buggy as poo poo with straight AOSP code (surprise, surprise) so it's not recommended you use it for dev at the moment. Samsung

If you haven't already played with your LCD density, you should. It's it odd that our high-res screens have the same 4x4 grid layout as the earliest android phones? There's a simple way to test screen densities without breaking out the ADB and build.prop - get an app called LCDDensity and get busy. I changed my default resolution from 240 to 200 on my G2, and now LPP's 5x5 grid works much better without loving up my widgets. https://market.android.com/details?id=lv.n3o.lcddensity Anyway, it's worth a shot. Some apps will look a little funny, but the real estate you gain on your homescreen is awesome.

Oh wow this is awesome. An LCD Density changing tool is included in the Liberty Toolbox that came with the Liberty ROM for my Droid X. I didn't realize how useful this was though. I, too, changed it from 240 to 200 and the "3G" icon and battery meter are a little blurry, but it really has opened up so much more room!

Here's a comparison of the same 5x5 LPP screen with 240 (default) and 200 dpi.

Here's my 240 to 200 comparison. I use 10x10 in LPP, though.

Poorly worded on my part, it was HTC who has the system images available for the N1. The awesome thing for the NS now is that Samsung has everything pointing back to Google for software. The mobile phone developer type page Samsung just has them going "ummm GOOGLE!, go there and stop bothering us!". According to http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/298a46f6eaab8c39?pli=1, specifically the Feb 3rd posting by jbqueru, Google is still going WELP! and that just instills a whole heap of confidence on the situation. indeed

Is there an easy way to change the system font with CM7? e: for those that have changed your lcd density, how are you getting your dock icons spread out? I'm using ADW EX, and they don't spread out evenly across the bottom. ZShakespeare fucked around with this message at 04:07 on Feb 16, 2011 |

Some font's don't work out all that great due to sizing.. so just keep that in mind. I actually think that the ubuntu fonts look great, if you search back you can find some screen shots from mine.

haha, I thought I was in the desktop thread because of the screenshots above. I should be more careful. Fortunately it ends up being a root issue anyways. Thanks, that app is exactly what I needed.

Ugh the CM7 keyboard is being all slow and stuff. It's been that way for a while now. Is there something up with the .37 kernel? IOwnCalculus posted:Is GPS fixed on CM7 Evo yet?

Put RC1 on my G2, and all's well. I waited this long to even try CM7 because I was still happy with the 2.2 roms. Sadly, the MIUI dev that was feeding us roms every week or so discontinued his product since he switched to CM7 himself. I'm just hoping that 2.3 starts rolling out to the rest of the hobby roms now that it's getting solid.

travisray2004 posted:I was hoping to install the font and change a setting rather than installing another app but I'll give this a go. Thanks. You can do it manually. Replace the 3 fonts in /system/fonts/ Clockopia.ttf DroidSans-Bold.ttf DroidSans.ttf Then verify the permissions. All in all, not really worth it since TypeFresh will do all of that for you, plus backup the orig font.

Before you flash CM7, grab your MSL (check the Market for an app called MSL Reader) and go to the phone dialer. Dial ##GPSCLRX# and then put in your MSL when it asks for a password. Let your phone reboot back into your Sense ROM and then boot into recovery and wipe/flash as usual. Just clearing out those GPS settings seems to take care of it.

Here are two different issues I hope you guys can help me with that I am having in CM7 with my Evo that I have tried to fix myself but have been unable to solve. 1. The voicemail notification problem. I conditional call forward to my Google Voice number (*28), however I still see that phantom notification icon on the top left of my screen every day. It's obnoxious. I've tried to: dial into my voicemail to delete them through the call, turn off call forwarding and dial into voicemail to delete them all that way, reload into my old Sense ROM and delete all residual voicemails left over in the actual visual voicemail app, dial into voicemail while in my Sense ROM to make sure there are no remaining messages... everything. I still get that god drat voicemail notification and I want to rip out someone's eyeballs to satiate my unquenchable bloodlust. If it weren't for these two things I seriously would love my CM7 but I am being driven into madness with that voicemail icon that simultaneously loves to taunt me with dings every few hours that I can't erase. george soros irl fucked around with this message at 10:36 on Feb 16, 2011 |

LastInLine posted:You have some problems if you're having issues like the CPU being pegged. Maybe it's time for a full wipe? Or pay for the pro version, which persists across reboots. And yeah, if your device is pegging CPU routinely, wipe, reflash, go hog wild - that's not how Android should behave.

I have to recommend a ROM for Galaxy Vibrant users, i've been using pepperkake for a few days now and of all the roms I have tried so far I like this one the most. Batterylife (imo) for me has been phenomenal.

No idea what a build prop is, if I just wipe and reflash will that take care of it? Also you can flash the same rom twice yea? Its just radios that gently caress up if you double flash them

Its just radios that gently caress up if you double flash them Build.prop is a file with some settings in it. I think it's in /system/ directly, but I can't remember for sure. I wouldn't recommend you mess with it, you seem to have bad luck with these things. You can flash the same rom over top of itself as many times as you want.

# ? Feb 16, 2011 16:56 |

build.prop is a config file that resides in /system/ on your phone You can edit it by rebooting into recovery and mounting /system/ from the mounts menu, then use DroidExplorer to grab the file, make the necessary edit and then copy it back. I just use Font Changer (root) to alter the density, it requires S-OFF in order to work though. E: I can walk you through anything relating to the Desire if you want, do you use Windows Live messenger or something similar?

tehfox0r posted:The voicemail notification problem. That's a carrier issue that Sense works around somehow. This is the only solution I've ever heard of for it. Basically, you have to swap to another phone and then call to re-initialize your voice mail with it and then swap back to your regular phone (and possibly do a full wipe; I'm not sure).

Solly posted:No idea what a build prop is, if I just wipe and reflash will that take care of it? Also you can flash the same rom twice yea? Its just radios that gently caress up if you double flash them Install adb on you computer. If you're in the rooted thread, hopefully you already have. adb devices (hopefully this shows your phone - now we're ready to roll) boot into Android adb remount (makes files accessible) adb pull /system/build.prop It will pull build.prop to your computer in the location you launched adb from. Edit it in a text editor (not notepad - use pspad or something similar). For now, just change the density line from 240 (or whatever it is) to something lower. I set mine at 200. Save when you're done. ro.sf.lcd_density=200 adb push build.prop /system/build.prop (re-pushes it over the old file) adb reboot (reboots) Hopefully this didn't gently caress up your system. Enjoy your extra real estate.

How come the CM7 nightlies and release candidates don't have separate versions for CDMA and GSM phones? I thought they needed different roms - or is that only for the radio?
