Anyone know how to flash a modem through stock recovery? When I try to it just says installation failed. I'm trying to flash a JI6 modem on my Vibrant through stock as opposed to clockwork to see if I can correct an sms send failure issue (message sending center option is not set so it fails).

Try using Gallery 3D from the market.

the aftermath posted:I seem to be failing miserably at rooting my Evo using unrevoked. I'm following the instructions and when I open up unrevoked nothing happens, it just stays at "waiting for device". I'm doing this on Ubuntu by the way. You may need to add the device id for your evo to udev to get it detected properly. Take a look at the Android website for details.

Does MIUI have full arabic support w/rtl like CM6? I'm tempted to try MIUI on my N1 but I can't sacrifice arabic

Stunt Rock posted:Has anyone tried TeamWhiskey's Obsidian ROM? I'm running it on my phone. It's not holy poo poo performance like JI6 with z4mod but it is certainly snappy. There are bugs present as this was just given the kiss of TeamWhiskey and released without thorough testing. The fixes that have been found are posted here. Overall I'm pretty happy with it, Clockwork Recovery doesn't work properly with it yet but hopefully an update will be out soon to take care of that.

Can someone running MIUI on a Nexus One go to http://aljazeera.net/ on their phone and tell me if the arabic shaping displays correctly (letters should be connected in words)?

God Exists. posted:You might be able to flash these libraries and make it work. I'm running CM6.1 RC which does it correctly, I'm curious about MIUI but not enough to flash it and mess with it as my whole reason for using CM is arabic, but if someone opens that page and can verify it's there I'll hop over

Paramour posted:So what's everyone's Froyo ROM of choice for the Vibrant? For JK6 they're all about the same since the leak was so recent. It's performing really well for me, if you just want a stock one, I would suggested using my No Bloat build.

b0nes posted:That's what i did originally. It just hung on the boot screen. I remember back in the day when I did it on my G1, you guys wou,d say you have to wipe so I figured that is what i missed. It won't go into recovery mode anymore. Most likely what happened is you flashed a rom that had a custom kernel, then flashed another rom that didn't have a custom kernel and it wasn't compatible, resulting in being stuck at the Vibrant screen. Nandroid does not backup the kernel so when you restore a backup you are still dealing with the custom kernel. You have two options. One is to try flashing a stock kernel either through clockwork or odin. Option two is to flash a stock Odin rom via download mode (if your phone was in debug mode when it is connected in recovery mode type adb reboot download).

Civil posted:Rage works to root, but run gfree to set s-off, and unlock your sim while you're at it. It's much simpler than the rage method, and all you really need to do is adb push a file and run a couple simple commands. Are you loving serious? gfree will unlock your phone? Wish I knew that before I paid $25 bucks to get an unlock code

ZShakespeare posted:I've been reading through the Desire Z docs on XDA to familiarize myself with the device since, if all goes according to plan, I'll be getting one tonight. Is it safe to assume that everything also applies to the Bell Desire Z (NAM frequencies)? I ask because the Bell Galaxy S was definitely different than the international Galaxy S, much to my shagrin. This will be my first HTC phone, so I'm still not familiar with how they operate. Yep, same applies to the Bell Desire Z. That's the phone I have and rooting was pretty easy.

CloFan posted:I'm a new owner of a Samsung Vibrant and am in the process of modding it. It's rooted, ROMed (Nero v3 with Voodoo), but I don't know how to tell what filesystem my phone is on. I downloaded and ran the Voodoo stable 5.0 update.zip, but it doesn't work on some phones and the way to tell is checking the filesystem type to see if it is RDS or ext4. I think I've also tried the Voodoo lagfix-only 3.0 update.zip on the bottom of that linked page, but again, had no way of checking to be sure and didn't see a performance upgrade. Hello again! It sounds like you are using one of the roms ported from the Captivate/i9000 as those do have the problem of reversed volume key. I would recommend one of the roms from Eugene of TouchWhiskey if you want a modded rom, otherwise just flash a stock rom, remove the bloat and boot sounds then flash the stock kernel with voodoo (grab it here. If you want to change Roms, try out Axura. I haven't used it myself but the dev maintains a proper changelog which is better then the other Rom builders. On my Vibrant I was running Stock JL5 + Stock kernel w/Voodoo beta5. One thing to keep in mind is if a Rom advertises improved battery life most of the time it's because they dropped the stock theme and turned it all black (advantage of AMOLED). As far as modding the Vibrant, get 7zip as if you plan to roll your or tars/zips for flashing it will work well. Odin is used to flash roms/kernels (for a kernel take zImage and stick it in a tar by itself then load it in Odin with the 512 pit file). Nandroid is good for backing up Roms but honestly I prefer to use Titanium Backup as majority of the time I lose track of nandroid backups and just restore all my settings/apps with Titanium.

CloFan posted:Got a link for the stock ROM? I want to do this. I found a JL5 out there but I keep getting an error when I go to install it [E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip (bad)] and I've checked and double checked that it transferred over correctly, but no dice. Interesting, I think this one will work but it's not what I used. I uploaded the rom I used, although I have removed all the bloat included T-Mobile apps (such as visual voicemail), shutdown/startup sounds, and put in the stock shutdown animation. I also added Titanium Backup and Rom Manager to make things easier. Grab it here. I didn't apply the SD card fix so if you have issues transferring files when it's plugged in to a computer, read here.

DkHelmet posted:I just started out with this whole rooting thing on my Incredible with Cynogen 6.1, and so far it's pretty awesome. However, the visual voicemail app is gone, and if I download it from the market it says there's a native app already installed and tried to uninstall itself. Grab one of the Incredible roms off XDA and pull vvm.apk from the zip then push it to /system/app with adb.

I can't be the only one to lament the fact that there's no visual voicemail on the Incredible with Cyanogen? What do other people use? It may have just been a stub that Titanium backed up, make sure it's not frozen in Titanium.

Is there another way to fix apps missing from the market other then market doctor in Titanium? I debranded my Desire Z last night and restored all my apps via Titanium Backup. I was looking today and almost all the apps were missing, I ran the market doctor which found a fix for 9 of them and I applied the fix but I'm still missing about 30 more. I've tried clearing data on the Market app then rebooting and launching again with no change.

Any Desire Z users can now get Arabic shaping! This makes me incredible happy as way back when I had my N1 the only reason I rooted and flashed CM was to get Arabic shaping and RTL so being able to get that in the Stock rom makes me very happy. check it out.

quadratic posted:Does it have a standard Arabic keyboard or just the Farsi one? This doesn't add a keyboard or locale. I would love to have a translation but that's not happening for awhile. CM has an incomplete translation, I'm curious if someone can figure out how to extract the arabic translation/localization on the i9000 so everyone else can have it. I just took a look in the market and Smart Keyboard looks to be a worthy candidate for a keyboard, install the Arabic dictionary and it works fairly well.

ilifin posted:This is very true. There are zero problems if you however use a Bluetooth-headset, where the DAC isn't involved at all. I would never have gotten a HTC-phone unless I had a Bluetooth-headset. Bugger, I went with an HTC because I perceive it as having a higher build quality then the SGS phones. So far I've noticed that the camera isn't as nice, speaker phone is a bit tinny, and the DAC isn't as good. I guess I'll be going with that bluetooth option I was looking at in my next car.

Traintruction posted:Hey, I'm about ready to throw my phone at my big, dumb face! For the SGS phones recovery is not actually flashed anyway, instead an update.zip is stuck in /sdcard (internal sdcard) and you get into it by booting to recovery and selecting reinstall packages. If you're having issues downloading it with Rom Manager, Download the zip from here then rename it to update.zip and put it at the root of the internal memory. You should now be able to get into clockwork. And assuming you haven't made nandroid backups (a backup via clockwork) you can just try deleting the clockworkmod folder.

There are a few stupid words in the default dictionary that I'll never use, but it only lets you remove user-added words. Nope, they're in there forever. If it is picking that word instead of what you want, hit the swype key after it's generated and select the right one from the list. It will remember your choice in the future.

Anyone still interested in getting Arabic on their Desire Z should try the RUU 1.82 rom that popped up, it is an Arabic build and after I flashed it I had full Arabic localization with shaping and RTL. You'll need to debrand the phone before flashing to avoid bricking it.

Duckman2008 posted:All I will say is I am so glad my main phone is HTC. Was it doing that before you rooted it? Try inserting the card after the phone has booted (the sdcard slot is accessible with the battery in). As for flashing the rom, the current version of clockwork for the Vibrant should be around 2.5.1.2. Download the latest recovery here then rename it to update.zip and put it on the phones internal memory.
