- fixed - - Galaxy S I9000 General

- fixed via clockwork recovery -
hi!
I have recently undone mimocan's fix successfully (as shown here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=765393) and applied CFLagFix 1.80, also successfully.
however, market downloads are no longer working; I think this may have to do with the following error as market uses gtalk in some way; alogcat reads:
E/GTalkService ( 2463): createAccount: gls.getAndroidId () returned 0!
E/GtalkService ( 2463): create GTalkConnection: account is null!
GTalk immediately closes after running it.
so I am wondering if there's a way to fix this without a complete wipe...?
thanks for your help!

HTC Stocks currency problem

The HTC Stocks app has the best widget of all other currency apps, so I was using it on my 1.5 Hero for displaying the EURO/GBP (EURGBP=X) rate.
After the 2.1 rom update I have a strange problem. When I try to add a new ticker for "eurgbp=x", I get the error message: "Unable to recognize the company name or stock symbol you typed. Please try again." However, this worked in the past like a charm. I have to note that adding "gbp=x" or "usd=x" works fine, with no problem at all.
Maybe this problem is related to an updated version of the Stocks app in the new rom. Is anyone experiencing the same problem? I haven't found a similar thread for a Sense Android phone. The same problem exists in the latest rom of HD2, but people have figured a work-around, by changing a file under "Application Data\HTC\", but this file doesn't exist on Android.
Any help would be more than welcome!
I experience the same problem (although I'm on VillainRom12). Previously adding currencies (EURUSD=X etc) was working, but right now I am unable to find it. This could be HTC problem as it was working fine on 1.5, but this could be also some Yahoo search glitch (I am unable to search for that quotes on mobile version of the Yahoo Finance page, while the desktop version works fine). The only workaround to that was to edit manually SQLite database of Stocks application (but this may require root - I can provide details if necessary). Once I added appropriate entries to the list of stocks, it seems to be working fine (it is displaying my currencies, but the search still does not work).
One other deficiency I found was the fact that graphs are not cached anymore - If I open the application and check for example a daily graph, I need to update it in order to see any chart - each time, even if I switch from 1D to 5D and back. It is also automatically updated each time I visit given tab, if I enable the automatic updates. Previously this app displayed previously cached graph. I'm not sure whether this happens also on stock 2.1 ROM.
Now that you mention it, I have the same problem with the graphs in the 2.1, too. It worked (showed the cashed graph) in the 1.5, but not any more. Blank graph until it updates.
Can you provide me some guidance about how to edit the Stocks' database? At least a link to something similar would be much appreciated. Can I access the phone's system folder without rooting it, through my PC (Win, Linux, whatever)?

I'm new in the business, so I'm not sure if the root is necessary. You can try it, anyway to see if you will be able to push and pull files from the directory where Stocks stores its database.
Here's what I did:
Enable USB Debugging in Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB Debugging
Download Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
In command line go to subdirectory tools of Android SDK
Close Stocks app and remove Stocks widget from the screen
Connect Phone via USB
... (Beginning of the optional part) ...
Go to Android shell
Code:
adb shell
List any processes to see if there's a com.htc.android.Stock process (like in this case)...
Code:
ps | grep Stock
7605 10007 130m S com.htc.android.Stock
7619 0 2156 S grep Stock
Kill any Stock processes (using the value in the first column):
Code:
kill 7605
Exit to command line
Code:
exit
... (End of the optional part) ...
Pull the Stock database:
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db stock.db
Sample output:
Code:
d:\Projects\Android\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.htc.dcs.service.stock/databases/stock.db stock.db
568 KB/s (5120 bytes in 0.008s)
Backup, just in case:
Code:
copy stock.db stock_backup.db

See if that worked
I hope HTC (or Yahoo) will be able to fix that, because the above is really a long process...
Anyway, I can't make it work. Entering "ps | grep Stock" gives me a "grep: permission denied" error message. I did some searching and I believe this is what people mean by saying "you need root access", right? I'll come back when I'm rooted (i.e. when I find a decent guide for rooting 2.1).
Thanks for your time & effort man. I really appreciate it.

You can try to omit the "optional" part (steps 6-9) - the ps thing was just to make sure that Stock isn't running. But I noticed anyway that it never ran in the background when I closed it on the phone. Try to adb pull and adb push and see if you'll get any permission issues. If you do, then you indeed need a root (sorry I can't check that as I'm rooted)
A couple of days ago I updated the ROM of my HTC TD2, with the most recent one of HTC (WM6.5, Sense 2.5.20113030.0). Afterwards I noticed that I also could not get the stock app to accept the code EURUSD=X.
You mention the following
The same problem exists in the latest rom of HD2, but people have figured a work-around, by changing a file under "Application Data\HTC\", but this file doesn't exist on Android.

Can you tell me what that work-around is or point me to it? Hopefully this can help me.

Thank you for the link (which I am not allowed to repost ).
Last Monday I wrote an e-mail to HTC about this problem and a couple of days later I got a reply. They told me they tried to search for the currency rate (eurusd) and that they got a result. So I tried again and lo and behold I got a result as well. Searching for eurusd=x gave me a result while last weekend it was not working.
So I tried several other currency rates and they all rendered a result, also eurgbp=x. Perhaps it is also fixed for the Android app.
[Extra information added below]
Tried again and nothing
I was connected with a data connection to my carrier, so I switched to my wifi connection. Tried again and... result.
So it seems to be a difference in communication between an ordinary data connection and a wifi connection. Maybe this will help someone
Wird problem. I tried it too on both UK and Greek carriers and on WiFi, but nothing. No result for either of them: "eurgbp=x", "eurgbp", "eurusd=x", "eurusd". I have been trying occasioanly more than one month now.
I think I should drop them an email too...
Why don't you do a soft (temporary) root and make the database entries as described in here? I did it and now I got all the stuff I need, and no trace of root on the device.

DISCONTINUED - [ROM][25-feb-11][v1.3] Dexter's Froyo 2.2.1 for XT720

so here is the new edition with uk kernel, basically pretty much the same as before with correct sensor drivers now.
Changelog v1.3 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here or mirror
- xavwanted's libOMX and MediaGallery.apk which seems to fix HD recording and playback
- Riley600's interactive governor fix
- callwaiting fix
- kousik's mount-o typo fix
- Mioze7Ae move /oc to /system/oc
- bootanim by helmi666
- Email.apk replacement​
Changelog v1.2b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here
- fixes problems with callwaiting functionality.​
Changelog v1.2a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here
- 720P recording fix
- re-added old MediaGallery as Camera app requires it.
- there can be possible hickups with mediascanning (so you know)​If you do see many FC's its a symptom of not having done factory reset, so this should indicate whether you need to do it or not.
Changelog v1.2 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here
- fixed mediascanner issue
- removed old mediagallery (not supported) , now only Gallery3D available.
- removed VoiceCommands app, cpu intensive and taking much storage.
Note, due to the bug in mediascanner and decoding and on top ext2sd support, quadrant benchmarks drastically drops when ext2 is enabled, if the sdcard is not a class6 or higher.. but media decoding bug alone caused incorrect reportings, so dont be surprised when you test now.
Its a full nandroid for new and existing users. if you're using 1.1+ you do not need to WIPE settings, just restore nandroid and reboot, signatures will be recalculated and bootup takes maybe little more, but it works fine.​
Patch update Changelog v1.1b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here
- HDMI added to settings menu, let me know how it works (not tested)
- different proximity sensor module (tested with z-devicetester seems better)
- facebook fix still included.
- Support for loading overclock module at startup.
- apps2ext partition support , will mount at startup if a 2nd partition is found.
its not advanced, so you need ext2/ext3 partition for now.
NOTE: Patches goes into /OpenRecovery/updates and is applied in openrecovery menu "apply update".​
Changelog v1.1a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid v1.1a link
- Based on 2.2.1 milestone framework leak
- Sync facebook is working
- Lockscreen is new (Blur like)
- see this link for framework theme's.​
Changelog v1.1 (Android v2.2 edition) Download v1.1 link
- fixed: OCR camera function currently FC (crash) (Mobireader.apk added)
- fixed: Contacts apk will be replaced in next update.
- fixed: HDMI through media player
- fixed: /mnt/sdcard mount issue​
If you want stock korean 2.2 with just english language and working sensors, download this nandroid dump, if you will probably need the 1.1 including recovery.apk to install this the easy way.
but else follow instructions in my other releases, and put nandroid backup into the /nandroid/openrecovery folder and restore using OpenRecovery.​
See this post, if you wish to restore a stock rom, or to enable apps2sd filesystem on sdcard
Install instructions:
Make sure sdcard is visible, when you get to step 6 of instructions, or it all fails, same with restore..
A: users with stock 2.1 can proceed to step 1 in instructions.
B: users with stock SBF korean 2.2 rom , need to flash stock 2.1 and goto step 1
C: Users with 1.1+ of rom with OpenRecovery , can skip WIPE and factory reset, and a restore of the new nandroid backup included in the download link, and goto step 8 (and skip step 9 for factory reset)
root it (SuperOneClick ) - included with zip
install OpenRecovery , use included apk.
reboot phone once
copy the folder "nandroid" to root directory of your sdcard.
Make sure sdcard is not attached to pc using "mass storage share" to pc.
Run OpenRecovery app and "install Recovery".
Press Boot recovery
restore the backup "stock22xxxx"
wipe / factory reset in OpenRecovery
reboot
Issues reported by users in v1.2a:
- Radio FM volume cannot change.
- MediaGallery does not do videoplayback
Issues reported by users in v1.0:
- Radio FM volume cannot change.
- Sync account option for facebook / Twitter is not added in settings when account is configured.
- Camera language not going to change (its korean app, so not support for other langs)
- LEDS do work, its sensors that makes them go off/on (no need to report this anymore)
STATEMENT:
Please don't keep asking the following question directed to me, public or via PM;
- Can you include language XXXXXXXX .
Answer: NO
- Can you teach me how to do custom roms
Answer: NO
- will you include RTL for hebrew
Answer: NO
- will you make other roms like cyanogen,htc etc..
Answer: NO
for new users unable to write in public forums, i cannot answer all your PM's personally, as that gets to be a quite a few per day and many monthly...i am not a support central for xt720 community..i simply don't have that kind of time available.

if i press camera button here (1-2 sec) it opens?
media button (the small one becide the cam button?) ? yes i see its not doing any action
from what i read now, the known accelerator driver issue + led,hdmi is 2 majors, im not sure about other issues becides the extra languages which for some seem to cause issue..
the way the launcher works is a matter of taste (seeing like 20+ android devices)
- if you're coming from stock 2.1 there is differences and more functions, but if you tweaked alot maybe less features are here, like dalvik.
- rotation is a problem if you plan alot of games with acc. functionality..
- I personally dont experience problems, except the buttons which personally i would love to fix now..
I think overall there is a positive feel about the first working release.

@Dexter, thank you for contacts.apk. But how to install it? After replace in /system/app it's says - It's not installed, and when i try to install it - it says: I can't be installed.

In the facebook app if you tap on "Facebook" at the top you go to the page to navigate to news feeds, friends, etc. If you hit your options button there there is a settings screen that includes preferences for how contacts are sync'd.

Yes i saw those settings, unfortunately they have no effect or bearing on the accounts.
I believe this is a bug, yet no one has confirmed or denied being able to reproduce it.
All sensors activated!!
I think smurfb deserve a little thanks, for pushing the request/idea just to try loading the old uk kernel once more, so i did and this time i fixed the problems with loading the old kernel and lib/bin required, its not much and most (2.2) korean state is kept intact..
ill do some testing after the new nandroid backup and start uploading v1.0

yes, 3d is fully functional now. I dont think it will work, but i will find a way to add the functionality..
the korean rom has only english, which im sure not many appreciate, although camera as one is used from that rom so only english is enabled.
but i will for sure try and get HDMI working..
I got FMRadio app added, does it help?
Thank you so much for making this, Dexter. We are hungry of froyo, asking for more. But you deserve to take a break
which languages does it have?
I will install it soon. can someone upload a video of it?

This happens on WinXPx86 and Win7x64. No topic delivers an usefull answer.
I have used several roms from nsourm build 23152, but non were effective.
Is this a known issue, and does anyone have a solution for this?
With kind regards,

Started the installation on a WinXP machine.
First time i got in the 3 colored screen and got again an error:246
Unchecked the following settings: start-->settings-->others-->USB-PC , both marks.

Has anyone tried the encryption feature found in Security settings? I'm using a recent nightly CM11 from Quarx/Blechd0se (Thanks, brilliant work!) quite stably for days now, but fail to make the encrypt phone function work...
When fully charged and USB powered, which are requirements, the successive encrypt phone buttons end up on a green android picture. This screen misses text and a progress bar which should normally appear on top of the screen, as seen on some screenshots. Even left for several hours, nothing progresses and a simple press on back button cancels action immediately which proves nothing has been encrypted in the meanwhile.
Took a Catlog and the only interesting message is the following:
Code:
01-02 01:34:23.732 E/Cryptfs ( 1197): Cannot get size of block device
In case it helps, find attached the output of mount command : View attachment mnt.txt
Could you have a look / help me out? (add to bug list if it applies)
In fact, for me, this function needs to be activated for connecting to my professional mails ...
Thanks in advance! :good:
Cheers
Further tested...
Hello all,
Just some more info... I flashed back to Quarx' CM9 and quickly tested once more the encryption and face the same problem but I didn't catlog, neither checked the mounts... Then I flashed Epsylon3's CM9 and quickly checked with the same result too...
But then I checked at catlog and now I get another type of error... Which is interesting and maybe promising as I already read some posts about this message...
Code:
04-14 21:11:13.101 E/Cryptfs ( 2219): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.
Problem seems to be more general than only Quarx/Blechd0se's CM11 but a friend uses a CM9 flavor on a Samsung Galaxy S and has encrypted the phone successfully...
All in all it's linked with the filesystem (block device or not), how it is formated (yaffs/ext3/ext4) and mounted (mount/mount_all)...
Some interesting reading on jira.cyanogenmod.org/browse/CYAN-87 (not linked, I don't have 10 posts yet)...
Hope to find, test and come back with some more info soon...:fingers-crossed:
Cheers!

[Q] Encryption on P7000 not working?

Hi,
I wanted to turn on the standard encryption on my P7000 (to gain access to corporate exchange server and sync) but I have discovered a bug:
- encryption starts, black screen with android logo (no animation) and nothing happens even after hours (replace the battery to reboot the phone necessary).
- after reboot the phone is not encrypted (but also not broken, so seems to start and runs in an error before messing up partitions)
- power is connected,battery at 100%
- latest OTA image from 20150617 from elephone was applied automatically (Android 5.0)
- after a missed try I rooted the phone and gave it another try (with same result)
So I installed touchdown for the moment (can also access via activesync) to have a workaround but I would like to see this issue fixed.
Any hints or tipps what I cound try to fix it myself, or do I need to wait until Elephone might fix it with one f the next OTAs?
Best,
Peter

Hi,
I have the same exact problem on the P8000.
For P7000, there is a post on the elephone forum, but no solution...

Same issue for me. Need to encrypt my phone. Even with the latest stock rom the encryption process is not working.
Tried with adb-logcat and found that there was an issue with the /data : "unmounting /data failed: Device or resource busy"
Looks like there is a fix for encryption on P7000:
