Hi, this is my first post. I hope it doesn't come off the wrong way.
I am extremely grateful for the time and effort put into all of these ROMs and the original gaining of root access on the Eris. But part of me has been wondering... what's to stop a developer/cook from including some kind of script inside their ROM which will give them access to peoples personal information and passwords? How can the general public know that we can trust all of you?
Now, I must stress that I am not accusing anyone of malicious intent. However, I do think that it's a valid concern.
I was looking for a specific .apk the other day and did a google. After much digging I found it, but wasn't too comfortable with the site where it was located. Just didn't download it/install it.
As far as the ROMs here. I lurked and posted and visited the IRC to get a feel for those doing the hard work. Got a comfort level with them and have been ROMing like a mad fool since. Hell, my ex got my bank account so there ain't nothing there to take.
To each their own comfort level.
ahorriblemess, there is no way for you to truly know that none of the ROM cooks are putting anything malicious in their ROMs.
This community is based around trust though, and if a dev. put some malicious crap in their ROM it would be found and taken down.
I have been working with most of the devs since before we had root and I would trust them.
I kind of figured that... if someone was to include a malicious script or something that it would be found relatively quickly and they would alert everyone.
I was just curious. Thanks.
have faith in the community. Strength through unity, unity through strength!

lol does that mean u will pay my bill ?
well pretty much all u can do is trust the Devs i trust all of them and apprciate all they do for the community especially being that they do not get paid to this for us. so all you can is trust them and either use the what they develope for us or dont its really ur decision. *~Dez~*
SOOOOOOO there are plenty of tutorials for the Front Facing Camera. Has anyone tried to put a flash on the rear facing camera? I REALLY want a flash. PLease help.

The vibrant is basically just the I9000 (form factor wise anyways).
The mounting stuff was not taken out, just the camera itself, so our hack to get the FFC working is just to snap it in & install a new kernel that supports it.
The I9000 didn't have a flash, so it's not that easy for the vibrant. It doesn't have anything to mount it to or anywhere to plug it in at all.
So, if it's possible, it would probably be a significant hack to accomplish.
Thanks Dude. I figured that if it could be done it wuld have already been done. Oh well I wait till August and get whatever is out then.

this is why all the devs left XDA and started all their own forums because the amount of useless new threads opened is pathetic. Even Cyanogen doesnt mess w/ XDA anymore becazuse ppl dont bother to read anymore....they should remove the new thread button in vibrant android dev forum unless u register as android dev and a MOD approves u...this has gotten waaaaaaaay out of hand
I've been working on a custom mod of mine own with 3 led on my back plate and cover everything with a external another back cover. I'm almost done with the project.

That is the kind of arrogance that makes me glad of the types that left. Yes theres a FAQ, and yes, there are a few that wont read it. Honestly, the FAQ (at least in the vibrant forum) is a frakin mile long! I can easily see how someone may miss it. Informative yes, but give people a break! Not to mention the breakup into 4 separate sub-forums ect ect, its easy for someone new or doesnt come often to not find their way around well.
Been going on for years, and will persist after you leave.
It's not a completely stupid or worthless question because I see it as do-able. I'm no dev...nor have I worked with the hardware on this phone, but I have thought about integrating a luminous LED as part of the flash. I think it could be as simple as finding th current that turns the camera lens on and integrating the LED power into it. Even if it doesn't 'Flash'...it's still a 'flash' equivalent lighting setting.
The FFC was do-able...I think someone can make a suitable flash for our camera.
Makes me want to work on it myself...
I spent a good 10-15 minutes in the camera app trying to figure out how to turn on flash before I realized the phone didnt have a flash on it! What a surprise damn you samsung!

course a flash would be lovely.but realistically the request to some how install a flash even when no original i9000 variant have a flash built into the unit to simply snap in is ridiculous. lollll
Don't be so quick to judge, I myself have wondered what if this phone had a flash. Honestly, it'd be friggin sweet! That goes without saying.
@Haxel: Awesome points, great attitude!
@p unit: I'm intrigued by your project, have you thought about somehow incorporating an LED flash into an extended battery back plate? More battery life, and maybe since the cover is bigger, you might have more room to work with on fitting a flash in.
good luck!

They are talking about a physical flash a light. not the light software program.
I thought it was a great question since the Fascinate has one. I don't see why having a moderator approve your question would be necessary, since none of the questions would ever get posted since they are questions that are usually way below their intelligence level. Let's be honest here, we as junior members look to developers, kangers and such for advice, guidance, and help. Having an attitude toward the people that look up to you for your knowledge, is pompous, arrogant, and simple minded. If you think there are too many questions, then don't read the posts (you should know what it's about by the title anyway). If you don't have anything to contribute other than a bad attitude, then don't respond and the rest of us will learn the hard way. You guys who don't want to read our questions weren't born with the knowledge you have, so don't assume that just because someone has a question, doesn't mean they haven't tried. Give some of us the benefit of the doubt. We don't all have our faces crushed into a computer screen all day you know........

I have seen an external clip-on type of flash light that you can clip it on your phone and take picture in the dark. I forget which website I saw it. However, it is still in production and not yet available until probably mid or end of this year, so just keep your eyes open.

So it seems we finally got out phones rooted.
Can someone post me a link to a good guide on rooting the phone and also recommend some good things to do once it is rooted such as a good ROM or any other tweaks such as removing bloatware or anything else that improves the phone overall?
Thanks for the help,
Dakota
There are a few in the development threads....

I know I have a lot of learning to do, and I know it helps to have step by step, instead of just jumping right in. There are a lot of people saying a lot of different ways to do things right now.
I used to come here to load roms onto my old windows phones, Evo 3d is my first android phone, things are a lot different. I feel a little over my head right now. I'll probably wait until I find a video or something to walk me through it, just to be safe.

Looking for anyone with any information on how to use Radiocomm (all of the functions).
Bottom line: I believe there is an easier way to unlock our bootloader (and any other moto bootloader for that matter) by using this program; and who knows we may find many other goodies we never knew about if we can put our heads together.
Not looking for information to illegally obtain services, etc.

If I may ask, are your beliefs that RadioComm can help unlock the bootloader based on any evidence, or is it just a belief?

PM cellzealot on here. He is a TBH guy and the guy who posted all the radiocomm builds on the nets.
I seriously doubt you will have any luck, as cellzealot would have found something already. He's been working with this software for years and is a mad scientist.

I believe this version is 11.11.11, which is the latest I can find also. The manual is very vague. Good find though. There's got to be more info about this program somewhere.

cellzealot said:
RadioComm is Motorola's premier diagnostic serviceware. It is designed for use by top level software engineers. It can access any Motorola device in any mode and perform a huge variety of tests and analyze any aspect of the radio hardware and software.
With a quick gkance at the GUI and the most seasoned and experienced phone modder is immediately confronted with the fact that they are not a radio engineer and there's a good reason these guys probably make more than you do.
It is an incredibly complex and cluttered multi window GUI with myriad buttons and fields that can read or write or execute all manner of low level hardware diagnostic and settings parameters.
You can even set and burn the fuses on the bootloader.
You can also subsequently render your phone unbootable or worse in seconds if you randomly press buttons or execute anything. There are built in safeguards for most critical operations but very few warnings anywhere. It does what you tell it to do...with wonderful or disastrous results.
It is a very powerful tool if you respect it and your worst enemy if don't.
Its just plain scary...but fascinating and you can learn a great deal about how your phone really works.
Please be very careful and if exploring the GUI only read things and never write or execute anything unless you are certain you understand what you are doing.
Thanks to kennethpenn we have a very current version again now with compatibility for the latest devices.

Well, now that this got off track...
There isn't a device specific guide for each? I am surprised we don't have ex-engineers in any of these communities.
Did some cleanup, chill out guys.
Back on topic please.
I knew years ago there was a reason I shoulda went and stayed in school to be an engineer. Dangit. Who has one of those newfangled time machine thingys?
I had read about this radiocomm program before. I had stumbled upon it while hoping to randomly find a miracle with google for bootloader. From what I read it CAN be done but is extremely complicated. Maybe some of us should go spam some engineering forums somewhere wit links to bounty thread and radiocomm
Does anyone even have an idea of where the e-fuses are?
When you have no splash screen, it says it uses fuse 1 as it boots up.

Ohh boy. The information in those 2 posts right there make me want to do something that I'll probably regret later..
Downloading Radiocomm now. I'm gonna do some reading tonight and if it still seems promising I may be tempted to try some experiments on the ol' X2.
Does anyone have any idea what would happen if we managed to disable fuse #1? It seems like uncharted territory.
Edit: Just spent a few minutes checking out the Radiocomm UI.
I don't even know where to start.. I don't plan on plugging my phone in until I understand at least the basics, but I can't even figure that out. There's nothing even resembling the Tegra 2 chipset under the CDMA1X tab in the top menu. or any other tabs.. The highest I've found is MSM 7500.
If anyone can figure something promising out (and explain it to me so I can understand it!) I would be willing to put my X2 on the line to test. I'll spend the rest of tonight searching, but damn.
The latest version of Radiocomm I could find is 11.12.2

Hi!
I have just switched over to a Samsung Galaxy S II i9100T, which should be the same as the international one.
I want to start developing for this phone, but I don't know enough about this phone yet. My question is: Where can I find the full hardware specs of this phone, including all of the chips contained in the phone? By the chips, I mean every single chip inside the phone.
Another question is: Does this phone have a 3.4 kernel? If no, I would like to develop one, which is why I have asked for information above.
Thanks.
To develop for this phone you'd need to know programming, and developing for Linux environment, which I suppose you know very well.
There are pdf manuals for the i9100 floating online. Because this is Samsung technical literature I'm unable to post the link. Google "i9100 technical manual" and you shall find.
