Captivate market problems after 2.2 flash

So I flashed the 2.2 leak the other night, now I'm having issues with the market. I lost some paid apps (such as a5phalt, which I still have the files for, but no loader and it doesn't show up anywhere). also, I am not able to download paid apps, it just says "downloading" or "authorizing purchase" then "unsuccessful". Anybody have any suggestions??

This will happen everytime you flash to any unreleased firmware. Solutions are posted in Dev section of the forum.

I'm having serious slow download issues. Could you refer me to any solutions that may have worked for you. I tried everything I could find.

With a signature like that how do you expect to make friends who will help?
Anyway, several things can help with that market issue. First go to applications (touching menu button when on a home screen), select manage applications, scroll to the market app and click on clear data and clear cache. If this does not help, reboot into recovery and cleat cache there. As a last resort..do a factory data reset under privacy in the settings menu...do a backup prior to this as it will erase data and apps

One additional thing to check..open market, click on menu button, click on downloads and cancel anything that is trying to download before doing the above steps. Occasionally an app will hang at starting download causing problems

So...unfortunately I couldn't find any fix to my problem. cleared my data and cache to no avail. I certainly appreciate the help guys

Sigh. The fix for market problem is simple. You have to root your phone first. Then replace the build.properties file with the one from the released firmware and you're good to go. Basically, you need to trick the Market to think you're running any of the official release firmware (JF6 or JH7) in order to be able to see all the apps. There is a dedicated thread in dev section about it. Or you can just wait. If JI6 is finally released (hope not) by AT&T, your market problem will be automatically resolved because AT&T/Samsung will tell Google that this version of the firmware is legit and allow to use Market.

Do you ever think for a minute maybe there is no solution to your problem? Nobody owes you anything. If there is an easy answer, ppl will post it.

I've been asking for about 2 weeks. I mostly get ignored. When I did get answered it was along the lines of 'nobody else is having this problem so you're on your own'. If you Google the issue loads of people are having the problem with froyo. None of their solutions work for me. I guess not enough people HERE are having this issue to put more effort into it. I've sent a small donation to the dev who's ROM I was using and still didn't get attention. I'd like to send more but why if I don't get help? If there's no solution to my problem I'd rather someone say look there's no solution. I'm ready to flash back to 2.1 as I have more than one issue that seems to be well known among froyo users, but somehow nobody in the captivate forums experience them except for ME. Not blaming anybody for anything, I'm just telling my story. One person took some time out to try to help me out and I thank him for that but clearing data didn't work, and for some reason there my 'clear cache' button is always grayed out. I'll wait for the official release (not holding my breath though).

From what you say, many people have offered solutions. Maybe not personally, but others experienced the problem. Their solutions haven't worked for you. Someone looked into your problem, their solution didn't work. People tried, and failed. When you give a donation, its a donation. Not payment for tech support.
Getting ignored isn't "I hate that this kid is always asking this dumb question, I'm going to the next post." It's "I dunno wtf he's talking about, what else is on here before I go to work/school."
--Now if I was in your shoes, I would reflash back to stock, and master clear. I'm a noob with Android, so I can't offer you much else. Sorry.

If anything we learnt from these forums is that you never say never. So if I have nothing to offer to you, I'll let others who may have the solution to post. It's not ignoring. It's the common sense.
If you post something and get ignored, it can only be one of the following:
1. Nobody encountered the problem you have (rarely).
2. Nobody knows the solution to your problem.
3. Your question has been asked million times already. Ppl are tired of answering it over and over while you're too lazy to do a search.

1. Root your phone (probably already done).
2. Edit your /system/build.prop file
3. Find the line that starts with this: ro.build.fingerprint=
4. Make it say this: ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/231334:user/release-keys
Save, exit, reboot.

I use Att so what do I replace verizon with?
Also my problem may be different than the other fella. I can access market and download...it's just painfully slow..sometimes downloads even times out. Thanks bro.
Do you any free apps I can edit system files with?

The fingerprint line is carrier agnostic. Market just looks for known (to Google) fingerprints. If you have one, you get to see all the protected apps that your unknown fingerprint prevented you from seeing.
The only time the carrier comes into play is when you use an app like MarketAccess to change which carrier's Android Market you are viewing. For example, Verizon's market lets you get apps that are not on any other carrier's market like Bing (for what it is worth), T-Mobile is pretty much unfiltered, and AT&T hides tethering apps.

I'd just check the basics to try to narrow it down. For example, try with and without WiFi, try after a power cycle, etc. No clue what could be slowing you down.

[Q] I'm a first time smartphone owner trying to figure out where to start...?

I just got a Samsung Captivate and it's the first smart phone I've ever had. It's really a neat little device.
I'm well familiar with jailbreaking, computing, following instructions to perform basic hacks, and yes, even reading, but what I haven't been able to find is an ORDER to do things in.
- Should I root/do things to my phone now, or wait until 2.2? Are there any benefits or drawbacks either way?
- In what ORDER do I have to do things? I'm looking to root, get rid of AT&T bloatware, and start side loading apps.
- What are the essential fixes for the Captivate? Lag fix? GPS fix? I don't know what else there is...
Anyway, I'm really excited to start digging in to this stuff, just looking for some basic advice for a first time smart phone/android owner. Thanks in advance!

Well, you can find a plethora of very useful ROM packages on the Developers forum that will root your device and enable sideloading and most are running 2.2 already. I abandonded stock after 2 weeks of owning the phone, it is my first smartphone as well and I will not touch any OTA's from AT&T because they bricked a lot of phones with their first OTA. The developers have the system dumps as soon as they start to push them and they clean up the bloatware. Before you flash anything get the unlock codes, use an app called SGS unlock from the market and Android ID changer to get your uniquie number and write it down and don't loose it. Once you flash 2.2 leak your ID will not be the correct one. Also once you root, get ROM Manager (donate version) and Titanium Backup (donate version) you will not be able to live without them. Also the 2.2 leak fixed my GPS, it really works now. Also, very important before you flash anything make sure you have a phone that enters download mode and recovery mode using the three button combo or you will brick your phone, there is a batch of phones that can not enter download mode no matter what you do. Take out your battery and look below your IMEI number for the batch hopefully it isn't 1008 these phones do not go into download mode. If you have one of these go to AT&T and exchange it for a phone that is from a different batch and make sure you have the button combos working before starting to mod your phone.
Lastly welcome aboard and enjoy your phone

Thanks for the reply.
Luckily, it appears my phone is from batch 1010 (you had me scared there for a second!)
What are the odds that the leaked 2.2 is any different from the actual one when it comes out?

Edit pretty much already said
Leaked froyo will be slightly different it will more of the stuff native to android and the att one will have more of there stuff. The developers seem to find and fix the bugs fast.

Is there any possibility to updated to 2.2 even if the phone was produced in 1008 batch? Unfortunately, mine says 1008. I have rooted my phone and am able to sideload apps.
Please help
Thanks

There is a jig somewhere in the forum that is how to make a jig that forces download mode. I would make it or if you are not comfortable with that someone is selling it. Try it to make it sure it works. It really is only needed if there is problem. Which happens to all of us sometime. It will get you out of pretty much any jam. That is why its recommend.

ill give you 2 rules of thumb
1 if its fun do it
2 if it aint broken dotn fix it
your choice , I only obey rule #1 , and I take risk because its fun , android is fun ...
if all you need are fixes , welll your the one who should say where to start .. is your phone sluggish ? do you feel lag ? does your gps lock in timely manner ? thats how it goes ... like I said me I mod just to mod ( many of us do ) ..

The main things I'm looking to do are:
- Remove AT&T bloatware
- Sideload custom apps
- Make it look awesome
- Install helpful stuff for battery life / gps / lag / etc.
That said...
I have successfully rooted my phone, and I'm now figuring out my next steps.

Hey all. I just bought a used (but in great condition) captivate off of ebay. Unfortunately it is of the #1008 batch.
I did test the 3 button and 2 button + usb modes and they both work.
Does this mean I will be fine putting a new rom on, or will this #1008 problem present itself somewhere down the road?
Last time I put an alternate ROM on a phone was way back on a Tmobile SDA, and hopefully it will be soon when I do my next one
Thanks

Why do you need ROM Manager AND Titanium Backup? Do they do the same thing? installed ROM Manager, created a backup, thought that's all I needed...

Rom Manager or a nandroid backup is a complete system image. It's useful to get back a full rom state if you have any troubles. Saves some time from having to rebuild from scratch.
Titanium Backup is used to save and easily restore third party apps. If you are flashing a new rom, you never want to restore system data as this has a tendency to cause fc's.
Hope that clears it up.

Thanks Cappy!

1. You can do that if you already rooted.
2. You can do that easy, even with out having to root. I use 'Android Central
Sideload Wonder Machine' (its a program you download and use on your pc)
3. Use Beautiful Widgets or Fancy Widget. Might need to be rooted to customize some UI.
4. For battery life I use Battery Indicator Pro. I like 'GPS Status' to test GPS.
I myself is not rooted or not running any custom roms. Not worth the risk to me and I can wait for the official update. My phone works and looks great. GPS is good enough when outdoors.

Bitter much?
FYI This will also help others who have the same questions. Be nice.
To answer your questions, the most popular rom currently in use would be cognition (located here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=786532). This handles all the needs you are looking for and more.
To make things pretty I would recommend using launcherpro and Beautiful Widgets. The best music player is poweramp.

good question

[ROM][V6/19/11] Miui 1.6.10 Mtd (Mesmerize only)

Ok I did this the other day and haven't messed with it much. Not sure I would recommend it for daily use. As landscape, gps and some other minor issues are present. This also isn't for the showcase. This started out as a mix of the Fascinate port/Cm7 Mtd for the mesmerize. Then a mix of miui android. So credit goes to them guys though it has some stuff done by myself.
First I am not responsible if your phone bursts into flames and melts down. Or anything of the such. You took the risk flashing it.
Now on to getting started first you need to download the fascinate radio below:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16907924/ec01_radio.tar
Plug it into odin in the pda spot. Yank the battery, plug in your usb cord, followed by holding volume down. Then flash it ( Pretty sure you know the deal) Once done download Miui 1.6.10 Cmtd below:
http://2fastroms.com/dm_eds/download.php?id=22
Transfer it to your sd card. Boot into cwm recovery using the 3 finger method. Perform a wipe and format system. Though probably not needed. Then install the above rom. Once installed reboot. First boot will take awhile. But it should boot.
To get off of the rom you need to odin ec-10 on repartition. You can supply feedback as it would better help me with issues you find. But do not complain something doesn't work. Also if someone would grab screenshots and upload them I will add them to the post.

Gonna give this a shot....not being pushy, just asking, is there a mes version of the latest release in the works?... I dont know what happened, but I was running this fine (the Fascinate version) with the EC01 radio, then something happened, I did a Factory reset, and since then, any 2.3.4 MTD rom I flash is missing 3g Data. It keeps connecting and disconnecting, and will never actually transfer information almost like it will only connect to Verizons towers and will not register my 3g data...really bummed
**Edit Also, does the latest CM7 MIUI MTD kernel work with this??... curious
** Edit 2 Apparently this breaks my 3g Data as well.... WTF

If you have not yet try to reflash the eco1 radio and see if that fixes the issue. if not relash to ec10 stock and see if issue exists. if it fixes it then try and come back to the eco1 miui

col try dl09 radio im using it right now on my mez and its working fine..

I have tried everything to fix this data issue.. I have COMPLETELY wiped the phone and started from scratch (even re-activated it) re-partitioned and flashed EC10 flashed EC01 radio, factory reset, deifferent roms...it ONLY breaks with 2.3.4 MTD roms...I think I may try having US Cellular reset my phone....I dont know..frustration level is on the rise though lol... it all started when I went to do a factory reset on my phone, after it re-booted it forced me to do an activation (just like *228, but I didnt initialize it) and then 3g data was COMPLETELY broken..I fixed that, but since have not been able to make an mtd rom work

Any mtd aosp kernel should work. I have a few things on my plate at the moment so I haven't finished this or working on a update today.
As for the data. Gas says he has the issue also but I don't. Data works fine for me and was reported working for a few. So the only thing I can guess is perhaps something in your guys area is different in the network compared to say mine. Which possibly isn't handled right or just something missing. It could also be that a piece of code is incorrect or missing.
I really have no idea though as I am not in the loop for details on what is being done. How ever cm fixed the source for the apn issue and once I can track it down to what is causing it to happen we should have mms in miui and cm. Unless fixed already as I haven't been paying attention.

How are you doing a "factory reset", through CWM - right?
If you really want to help us figure this out you need to try and debug and pull log's so that we can try and locate the problem - MTD is obvoiusly VERY new so there is no "known" fixes or issues, so it's not going to be easy figuring out the problem.
When you're using odin to go to a FULL STOCK BUILD (meaning one without the added recoveries and root) are you checking the "repartition" box?

OK, three things,
1. This isn't an actual port.
2. Any and all Fascinate rom should work with this method.
3a. For TW roms, build.prop needs editing;
3b. For AOSP roms, /system/ect/ppp needs to be copied from a TW rom;
3c. For both, apns-conf.xml and coma-carriers-conf.xml need to be copied from a Mez rom.
So, yeah, not for the faint of heart, but that's what we get for being regional.

Uh, not sure where this came from (meaning why you're posting it at this point) but a small correction to your list above would be - build.prop needs to be edited for ALL rom's tw/or AOSP based.

wait odin full ec10 then when it boots up *228 then after tht flash to mtd

KillKount said:

First you are going to piss me off. As I believe you need to stick to trying to port w/e you were asking about not to long ago.
2. Any and all Fascinate rom should work with this method.
To the above and I have no clue wtf you are talking about.
3a. For TW roms, build.prop needs editing;
3b. For AOSP roms, /system/ect/ppp needs to be copied from a TW rom;
3c. For both, apns-conf.xml and coma-carriers-conf.xml need to be copied from a Mez rom.
Again you need to stick to w/e you do as you are doing a good job posting something you have no clue about. As any miui is port besides what is released for I think 4 devices maybe 5 is a port. You left out the roaming indicator. The apns isn't going to do **** when the mnc & mcc numbers are not picked up right hence the 00 when opening the apns via voice dialer. Third cm source was broke till yesterday and has been for a month where apn's wouldn't do you crap any way. Though miui doesn't have the issue as it is being built on a older nightly source code.
So, yeah, not for the faint of heart, but that's what we get for being regional.

Also since it is clear you don't have a clue about a port. As if you did you would notice more than that is changed. As since miui is built off cm. Cm things will work hence how I port it on the desire and others do on other devices. In turn the rom actually has a good bit from the cm7 rom for the mes in it. The build prop is also not the same and is actually fixed to set up stuff right on default. Along with I think I changed the vmheapsize to be what it should. I fixed the roaming indicator also. It will boot on the mes just sms will not work which I haven't fixed or messed with this since I let gas try it a few days ago.
Also I never claimed it to be a port to the mes. It is to a port and isn't. It is how ever a port of a port of a port from the device the rom is released for.
Now have a nice day

OK, here is exactly what I did....and I know I F'd up...I was on the first test of MIUI and everything was working perfec (what was supposed to be working) it was great, but I was taking a trip...so I flashed the stock EC10 (re-partitioned checked) flashed EC01, OTB kernel, miuiwiz 1.1.1 rom and all the fixins, later that day..or the next?..I was getting some FC errors...so I decided I was going to reset..so I did it from the ROM..(stupid stupid stupid)..not from CWM. When the phone re-booted it went directly to an activation screen and forced me to activate...stupid me I did it with all Verizon rom and radio..when it activated I had COMPLETELY lost 3G, to the point where there was no 3G indicator by the signal...after about a twenty minute curse filled rant, I decided to tryh something, I flashed EC10 again, but this time I also checked the Phone EFS clear box. What this did was remove my Phone number and MIN from the phone (and who knows what else it may have done, I havent been able to find definitive answers on that, well..now with all stock USC I did a *228 and the phone went through its initial provisioning, activated, and bingo...everything was back to normal, 3g was alive and kicking, ...then I went to flash the newest MIUI and started getting the latest 3G problems. I have a 3G indicator, but it never seems to be active (upload/download indicators not flashing), then the 3G indicator will dissappear then reappear, and do this randomly. when I try to use data, it just says that I have no network. However, if I do this same process, mbut instead I flash say MIUIWiz rom, everything still works, 3g and all.
I know that was a leangthy description, and I am sorry, but that is all I can give you right now...the wife is all over me to get back outside and mow the lawn and finish cleaning the pool LOL

I'm sorry, I haven't actually dl'd this, I was just trying to give some basics as to how to get most, if not all, Fas roms working for us. And for the build.prop, most current aosp roms don't have but four lines concerning Verizon or Fascinate.
Again, I am sorry, I will shut up now.

To half of what you did I have no idea what would happen or what it did lol. As for data gas said his doesn't work on any mtd release. Since this uses cm7mtd it also gives the same issue. On my phone if I sit next to the wall facing the hill. I get barely any service and it will do as you are saying. If I move away from the wall it is fine maybe a spaz out here and there.

No you came in here saying this wasn't a port. Where you had no idea what you were talking about clearly. I also never said anything about the build prop in aosp roms. Well nothing like that. I also have yet to see one thing you mentioned yet how do you get sms to work in a fas rom ported to the mes? Besides the radio? You have only said these few things which is half of it. Also nearly word for word from the guide I think gas posted or someone in the fascinate radio thread.
Honestly I have no idea why I am even talking about it besides the fact you made a post claiming out of no where. I didn't post this to have a noob claiming something that I really have no idea why. Though do a little searching the next time on miui and tell me what samsung device it is released for.

You have a lot of room to talk. Last I heard you weren't using anything I do any way so why troll posting and add to the fire? As I didn't see anyone yanking your chain. I didn't start the adam crap to begin with yet you like putting it off as that I did. I also didn't post claiming miui isn't a port for what ever reason that has me baffled.
If you don't have some constructive to say. Then don't post. Along with the fact how would you like it if you actually did something for someone in two threads start claiming **** that isn't true. As it's really starting to get old. Then when someone bashes what you do on top of it. As in if it was that simple why didn't he do it?
Also that is all I got to say in which I said what I wanted to. Now the thread can get back on track.

LOL point proven. You really need to learn to ignore some things. It's a message board, people are going to say things that may not be accurate. And really at no point did you mention this was a port or give credit to Andmer or any of the Fascinate people that did the MIUI port for the Fascinate. If you didn't get this from them then I really don't know why you spent the time to port this yourself as you are already using their radio. It would have been much easier just to change Andmer's MIUI to work for the Mes. Again man I am not trying to argue with you, I just think it's funny you get so worked up about this stuff. Deep breaths.

S'okay guys, no need to even worry about it. I'll get things taken care of tonight. I won't post more here, this is 2fast's thread, his work.

Ok I did this the other day and haven't messed with it much. Not sure I would recommend it for daily use. As landscape, gps and some other minor issues are present. This also isn't for the showcase. This started out as a mix of the Fascinate port/Cm7 Mtd for the mesmerize. Then a mix of miui android. So credit goes to them guys though it has some stuff done by myself

Is my Samsung Infuse DEAD?

Hey, guys. Hoping some of you experts can help me diagnose what's wrong with my Samsung Infuse. I bought it off Craigslist at the end of May, and the guy had the phone with the original screen protector on it, with the original case and all accessories, so I had no reason to believe it had any problems. He told me the phone was already rooted & unlocked, which I wanted since I signed up with Straight Talk. I used it for June & July and had a host of problems, so I put on the CM10 ROM last week to see if it helped. It didn't. Here are the problems I continuously encounter:
1. When going to unlock my phone with a pattern, once in awhile it won't detect my finger-presses. Sometimes nothing shows up at all, sometimes one of the dots will highlight as I pass over it, but it won't draw. Eventually the screen turns off, and I turn it on and try it again. Usually it ends up working.
2. The battery dies much quicker than I expect it should. I tried running JuiceDefender and not running JuiceDefender, and it doesn't seem to make a difference. Even without using my phone much for anything, even with the screen off, the battery will run out before the day is out. It's like if you were driving and had a hole in your tire... seems like some sort of a leak.
3. The cell radio seems flaky. Sometimes I won't get texts on time. A lot of the time I can't access any data, which is very important as I use Google Voice for lots of my texting, so I send a text and it won't go out. Loading web pages or reloading my email shows that it is a data problem.
Those are the primary problems, and I suspect that somehow they are all related. I'm not sure if the Craigslist guy sold me a lemon, or there is some other problem that came up. I've tried multiple ROM's and disabling every app I can think of. Can anyone think of anything that would cause these problems & any way to fix it? Or do I just own a broke phone that I have to throw in the garbage?
Thanks in advance for reading!

a whole slew of problems can lead to a whole slew of possibilities for your issues.
first, i wasnt aware that you could do any of this on a straight talk phone, but i could be wrong. i am not the "expert" you may be looking or hoping for, though one i am sure will show up.
second, i think the response you may get is......did you go to JB straight from Gingerbread??? that will cause HUGE problems.
dd you read OP and follow to a tee??? again HUUUUGGEE problems.
the "never fail" here.....READ READ READ. feel confident as to what you are doing and follow steps one at a time. UNDERSTAND steps one at a time.
first thing that never hurts.....return to stock and start from scratch.
"super everything thread" under development.
Odin "stock-root & modded 3e rcovery.
follow all directions TO THE TTT.
if that doesnt work, you might have to get some mortar, you've got yourself a BRICK.
i know almost everyone else here is more of a expert than i am, but i do believe that is where they will tell you to start
good luck and be sure and thank the experts

While I have no idea what you're getting at by your Straight Talk comment, as ST is little more than AT&T service that's sold through a 3rd party at a discounted rate, the fact that he's using ST may be part of his problems, at least in regards to the network issues. I'm also having an unbelievable amount of data issues on ST. ST is having some network problems that are affecting a decent amount of customers who are on their AT&T network.
One thing that the OP may want to try is this: Download DNS Changer from the Play Store, and change your primary and secondary DNS to OpenDNS1 and OpenDNS2. Or try different settings, as there are a bunch that are available. That has made at least some difference with my data connectivity issues.
Based on my own experience, having tried to go to JB directly from GB, is that if it's going to affect your radio, it's likely to completely wipe out your EFS data so you won't have ANY cellular or data networking capabilities. As stated, that's simply based on how it worked out for me, and there could easily be other side-effects that just didn't happen to show up for me.
I agree with returning completely to stock UCLB3, with the GB bootloaders. Then flash Entropy's 4.4.2012 Kernel, which will also install CWM Recovery. I'd personally reccomend Heimdall, as it seems to be somewhat simpler. Detailed information on returning to stock via Heimdall can be found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1629079&highlight=heimdall+uclb3
If you use it, be sure to thank qkster for making it available. He's probably the most helpful person you're likely to find on this forum, especially where us noobs are concerned.

I would take it back to stock and start all over.
Here is a very helpful thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1700416

I agree with parrot head. When issues arise go back to stock. That's the best part of our phones. They are damn near impossible to really mess up. Just have to be ware of bootloader flash going wrong. If you got your gb rom from keis your good to go though.

Appreciate the response, guys. I guess it doesn't hurt to try to start from scratch... AGAIN! It just seems like I'm putting an awful lot of hours into putting new ROM's and bootloaders on this phone. Going to be especially frustrating if I go through all the steps and it still doesn't fix my issues, which would mean my phone is broke. Oh well, guess I have little other choice.

All of the issues sound related..
It shouldn't take long to drop to stock and flash up to JB.. I've bobbled and missed steps here and there and have had to return from stock more times than I care to admit.. even rooting and flashing up the ladder only take about 20 minutes if even that..
Good luck!

Yes, the flashing process isn't that long, it's getting back my phone to all of my customized settings that ends up taking weeks. Home screen icon positioning, logging in to every app, system settings, etc.

Didn't create a backup?

I've always created backups with Titanium Backup, but when I restore the apps, a lot of them ask me to re-login or re-verify myself.

Thanks for the advice guys.
Spent a whole day going back to stock, then CWM red, then ICS, then Jellybean. Things seem to be markedly better, but the phone still seems laggy in a few places. Is this just because it's not the latest and greatest processor?
Also, the GPS just does not work right. It's still identifying me as being in Missouri even though I'm in Nevada. Consistently. Do I just have to live with that?

Are you still using the Trebuchet Launcher that comes built-in to the JB ROM? If so, that may be part of your lag problems. I just use ADW EX launcher. Here's an excerpt from the Paranoid Android JB OP:
******* EVERYONE: If you experience a sudden lag for no reason, IT is due to Trebuchet. GOOD NEWS though... From reading the log cat on my end, there is a very simple fix... Go to settings -Launcher - Homescreen - And Check "Resize any widget" and you are good to go! Instantly fixes the lag problem that a few have been experiencing. I have located the source code that needs to be changed and this will be enabled by default on future builds. ********

As far as the GPS goes, I think Samsung just used ****ty receivers in the Infuse. My GPS isn't quite as bad as yours seems to be, but it's nowhere near as accurate or reliable as the GPS chipset in my crummy little Optimus V.

Mobile Odin

There isn't a thread for this for our phone, so I thought I would make one seeing as i've tried it. A program called mobile odin https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.mobileodin.pro&feature=nav_result Will allow you to run odin from your device without connecting it to your computer. Its super simple to use and it works pretty well. My charging port is hosed so I can't connect it anyways. I was on ICS and needed to go back to GB. Had to use this app and got back on GB no problem. I don't see a free version of the app anywhere so depending on how much you use odin, 5 bucks might be a good investment.

Hmm I ran the program and sent the logs a few months ago and never heard anything back to get our device supported and still doesn't say it supports this device.
It takes 30 minutes to run the system dump to find out our device isn't compatible......after running the dump....and to find out it wouldn't work
Its not worth the hassle when you've only got 15 minutes to get the refund.
I'd like to see screenshots or something to show that this actually does officially work on our device ....considering its not on the list of compatible devices.
Thanks

I guess after 2 days without a response ....there's not going to be one?
To bad I was hoping that it was going to be worth the money

Too bad I'm stuck on ics as well got excited when I started reading this thread.

??? Anything???
Or is this just a bogus post....and in the wrong section....should have went in themes and apps

A search would show that XDA members gets a lite version as with lots of other apps for free.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1347899

Ive run it.....it generates a dump file (mobileodin.txt) that you send in and hope that he incorperates your device in the next update .....and since it does this ...it basically is not suported as of yet.
So the op is saying it works.....but in fact it doesnt.
I would like to see some evidence that it works for him and like to know how it does on his device and not on mine.
Also with the lite version you have to dl a flash kernal specific to your device from that same thread....but since our device is not suported...you wont find one.
Y'all should do alot more reading before posting links to something that doesnt suport our device.
i did read that thread thuroughly....very thuroughly,even flashed a few flash kernals he added that were for the other models similar to ours in great hopes of getting this to work.

This is what you get....it does take about 30 minutes to generate the text file to send in

Oh magda623....are you there?
we are awaiting your reply.
Im sure there is hundreds of us that would like to have this running on our phones...please let us know how to make it work.

Ok ok i give up on magda to humor us on how it works on his device.
I urge everyone to use the link a couple posts up and dl the mobile odin lite,run it and send your mobileodin.txt to chainfire and plead with him to include our device....im sure he will eventually get our message.....after all he does say he is only working on samsung devices at this time.
****wouldnt it be awsome to flash back and forth from mtd to bml roms without ever having hook up to your comp!!!****

Lol am i seriously the only one that finds this to be something that would make life amazing on the sgs4g?

new ealsjur
Mobile ODIN did not recognize the device when I was on CM9

Something about flashing the phone from the phones makes me uneasy. What if you need to repartition using a pit or something, while the phone is on and in use.

Btw short I sent a dump file a long time ago and have been retrying ever since with no luck so far, maybe I'll make another dump today after work

I've stayed out of this one for just that reason. It's bad enough to be messing with the underpinnings of an OS when you don't have true single-user mode, a "safe" boot, kernel, and emergency filesystem available, nor alternate boot media if things go really bad. Doing all that from user-land while the system is running all services sounds like just asking for trouble.
You can do most of what you are asking for in Recovery
Flash kernel/boot/recovery
Flash /system
Flash other run-time partitions
Flash modem
If you can't get into recovery, are you really able to run some Android program?
I'm not really seeing the need for this, except for people who have broken their USB connector and can't connect to a computer. Even then, when would you need ODIN? When things are so hozed up you need to start from scratch, yes, but if you have a broken USB, what are you doing flashing risky things?
If someone can show what this would do that you can't do in recovery, as well as a meaningful use case for it, I'll mull over how to do it. Basically, if an app can do it, a script in recovery sure should be able to as well.

I tend to think the reason we dont have support is because of the quirkiness of this phone.

I agree eollie ....I gave up on this a while ago...really it doesn't matter to me anyhow....I mostly thought it was a great idea.
I don't tend to have issues with flashing...or recovering.
And even if I did....I wouldn't be dumb enough to post here lmao.
