guys this is not a question, this is a "plea" for some help...
if one of the great dev's out there would be kind enough to enable multitouch on this rom http://dl.getdropbox.com/u/1701190/kb7sqi-magic-full-V2.7.2.zip
i, and many others who use this rom, would really appreciate it
ps: i did pm the dev who cooked it, but he didn't answer, so i thought i take my chances elsewhere..
what ROM is this??
my bad..
its a rogers rom that comes with a flash player enabled browser and other sweets that come with a rogers rom, such as the smart dialer, apart of course from being lightweight, which makes it run smoothly on my 32b G1
more details can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=567371
come on guys..is this really too much to ask?

patience. devs do this voluntarily at their own time. demanding for features won't really get you anywhere. Especially with 2.1 AOSP being out there now, i'm sure there's a lot already going for them.
Try this: http://lukehutch.wordpress.com/2009/01/25/get-multi-touch-support-on-your-t-mobile-g1-today/
Don't know if it works for your rom since it's originaly made for 1.1, lol.
Thanks for the tips guys..
Unfortunately the above link suggests installing a different rom to get a mt enabled kernel.
Sorry if i sounded pushy. Didn't mean to...
I was just wondering what it takes to apply the mt patch to the kernel thats all
I think you can't just install multitouch on a rom because it needs to be in the kernel. So or you wait the rom builder of your rom includes it in his rom, or you need to try another rom.
what base firmware is this ROM using?
i dont have time to research it
Its cupcake 1.5
kingklick,
just wanted to say that its really nice of you to show interest in helping others.. you must be a really nice guy
thank you
just checking..
i feel like a little kid askin' for candy here...but i don't care
kingclick, was you inquiring about the base firmware here an indication that you'll help out? i really hope so...
You wont find someone to do this. You've cluttered the developers thread with your groveling. You should read up on the methods and do it yourself. Plus, then you could do a lot of extra goodies. If you want something done, do it.
well..

you mean learn java and android programming, and in a few months, or maybe a year, i'll be able to do it all myself... sounds like a great idea..
but here's a better one,
in this world we live in, there are specialized and professional people, each in their own field, so when someone "like you or me" need something that is not in our ability or specialty, we seek a professional...
i don't mean to be rude, but this could easily be compared to learning dentistry to do your own tooth...
haven't you asked for any help from anyone in your life?
If you really want MT in browser why not use dolphin or one of the alternate browsers in the market?
mt is missing in the rom itself, the patches were not applied..

Hello everyone, just wana introduce myself. My name is Sofia and I love cellphones and new technology. I purchased captivate a month ago my first android phone. It's very fast and amazing. One of my friend told me about this site so I decided to join it. Lately my phone is been laggy and very slow. Can someone please help me and let me know what can I do to make it faster. Thank everyone
Start by reading through some of the stickies here and in the other Cappy subforums. Lots of good info. Searching before posting is also appreciated. Welcome.

Hi Sofia welcome,
I'll assume you got it brand new and is running a stock ROM. I would say that there is something running in the background that is slowing you down some. I'd take a look at which/how many apps you have, and maybe delete the ones you don't use anymore. Do you know if you're running 2.1 or 2.2?
What you'll mostly find here at XDA are folks that love to mod, well love might not be a strong enough word, we're OBSESSED. So what you will most assuredly get from people is "Try sun-in-such's ROM, it's the best!"
If you're into that, this is the place to play. Have fun!
Lol

Hi everyone im running 2.1 it came like that out of the box. Since im a girl I like phones that is simple and easy to use. I've used iPhones and blackberrys but im happy with android cause I can customize my screen to pink color. I would love to do mods but it seems very complicated since im not used to android and not very technical minded

You're probably better off not doing any mods then. Sorry if that sounds mean, but unless you're tech savvy to some minimal degree and comfortable with the idea of voiding your warranty and possibly bricking your phone, you're probably better off just leaving it stock.

Is it that hard? I was reading through forum and looking at roms how is serendipity or cm7? Im learning slowly as I read. Do I just put rom on my SD card? How does it work?

Not exactly, an hour or two spent reading threads over here is what you need.
Swyped from my Froyo-ed Captivate.
Welcome Sofia ! I also have a Rogers Captivate (have a Focus too) and running it on FIDO with few issues. Try upgrading to 2.2 using Keis. That in itself was no fun, but at least it will give you some idea of updating/modding the phone.
Ya I wana learn also

Please don't be fooled into thinking this stuff is really easy. There are already a bunch of threads from people who tried to use CM7 and messed up their phones. Flashing isn't that hard, but it is also pretty easy to screw up. Settle for upgrading to stock Froyo and then read, read, read.

It's not hard, but it's easy to botch it if you don't know what you're doing. If you're going to try your hand at flashing a custom rom, make sure you read about and understand the process enough to where you don't have to make guesses and assumptions. Also, jumping straight to cm7 is a terrible idea - flashing cm7 is a lot more involved than flashing any of the other roms found in the dev section, and if you don't know what you're doing you'll almost certainly end up with some sort of brick.
Read through the stickied threads. They contain a lot of useful information, which is why they're at the top of each subforum. Fill in the knowledge gaps by searching. There's more than enough information in the Captivate forum alone, let alone all of XDA, to teach you how to do everything from some simple modifications to building your own custom firmware.

It is really easy. It's just also really easy to screw up. But since you're a girly girl who likes things simple and easy (because you're a girl) and you have a girly name, guys will be stepping all over each other to help you and they'll be really polite.
Lol ur funny. No one has helped me yet. Been reading over 4 hours kind of learning its all new to me. But once I see it how it's then I learn quickly.

I'd wager 5-10 hours reading on XDA should get the average newbie up to speed to do basic flashing & hacking.

total noob and i need help.... here is my problem... I unlocked my new infuse and then rooted the phone. everything was fine fo several hours and all of the sudden it started vibrating and would reset with out turning all the way off. the android drop screen does not function. everytime you try to pull it down it starts the above issue. if a text comes thru it does it again. i did a factory reset and this didnt help. i still have superuser on the phone but cant seem to get phone to function it has power and works to an extent. you can tap apps and go thru most of the phone but it will reset and go back to main screen and vibrate and start process all over.... any ideas. i am a noob and not very technical, prob why my phone is f'ed up right now. using my samsung captivate for now. please help the new guy. i looked for threads with similar issues but found nothing with search bar. thanks ahead of time
I'm not familiar with unlocking...i do know if I'm not mistake you have to root first then unlock....but that should not effect your phone...but phones are so different....even though we all have the same model....
I would reload stock and re root....then re unlock....ate you runnning stock or custom rom?

Why yes glad you asked...check my signature...for the iset page....
You will find a **** ton of info....since your somewhat new...do a lil reading....ok ....do a lot...
Look for the one click methods by qkster....although the new odin links are great also....your choice....
And any questions the op for those threads can provide you with great help and you can pm me also...
And don't forget to thank the op dev that provided you with what you need...kk
In that case I like to suggest you to unbrick the cellphone (restore again to FROYO) and test the cellphone... If you do it, you will loose the root, however the unlock will remains
You can re-root the cellphone later... the issue could be also being caused by an app that you had installed
*** If your cellphone is from AT&T you can use the GTG's Ultimate Unbrick tool, to go back to FROYO
Remember that you must have ODIN to unbrick the cellphone..
Some helpfull links:
Complete Stock (FOR ROGERS USERS ONLY)
GTG's Ultimate Unbrick - Return to stock - For AT&T
thanks!!!
Thanks for the info bigjoe2675 & dantespec...well I feel real stupid now... I looked over all that info and its way above my head. is there anyone I can send my phone to that does this type of work and is trustworthy enough not to steal my phone? i have already trashed it once I dont want a $230 paper weight. I also have a Sprint galaxy s2 epic i would like to have flashed to verizon. i have no clue what I am doing and willing to pay to fix my two phones. mine and the ol ball and chains.

If you can not figure out how to go back to stock, then i know mobiletechvideos. They got my old infuse running again when the usb port got borked. If you need a link ask me, idk were the link is lol. Trust me though, it worked well. Only thing is it costs money. Better off to learn how to do it unless if hardware is actually broken, not software.
Btw you may want to learn how to unbrick and learn your basics before you attempt at doing something like this again. Just making a very logical suggestion.
For sure check out the Odin videos... I have a feeling that they are going to come in handy a few times..
Everyone has to start somewhere and we all had to learn, I was really overwhelmed when I first started looking into it, but then it was like "oh! That's it?"
Most people here are super helpful (I'm not... I'm a n00b) but don't be mailing your phones to someone you don't know or anything like that... you're begging for someone to rob ya..
Just take it slow and read, read, read... when you have read enough to have a handle on it.. read some more!

Welcome to the addiction!
It is so interesting to me what can be done with minor and major changes how simple things make HUGE differences.
Next thing you know, you will be grinding out apktool changes and making themes!
Hey guys, I'm gonna be getting the Sensation in about 2 weeks and I would really like to help out development for the Sidekick 4G in some way. Since I don't have much knowledge in programming, I am willing to help out with giving a Sidekick to the devs here. I just got a replacement for my warranty so the phone is pretty much like new and I won't be using it at all. I don't know how much this phone goes on ebay, and I'm not sure if this is already been taking care of, but I'd be willing to help out.
Please let me know.

I'm looking for a loaner. See this post.
But, if any other devs think they can get CM7 or CM9 on SK4G better then I can, I yield to them.
Or if you are more interested in getting money for the phone, it's probably better you get money.
EDIT: Also, I'm hanging out on freenode on #teamacid and #sk4g in case anyone wants to chat.
Directions for #teamacid are here.
