[Q] downgrade from Samsung 2.2 froyo rollback to eclair 2.1?

I've read in some threads that samsung is removing their JPM/JP6 firmware from KIES update... Is this true?
I live in Canada, so I technically dont have the update yet anyways, but have any of the europeans on this site noticed this?
Also! Supposing that samsung isnt removing their froyo firmware, is there any harm in me doing the regedit hack to get the froyo update NOW instead of waiting for it to be "officially" released in canada?

better wait mate!
i tried froyo ... phone was slow, bunch of google apps were not working and after the first reboot the phone stopped working

I had to do a factory reset after updating to Froyo to make the phone run at normal speed. Samsung screwed up the update, especially with the Market also vanishing.
(After the reset, it runs just fine though - almost no complaints!)

Looks that way, chap. I just tried the erg hack and still no f/w available to download...

this is good news then! seems like they want to address the issues

[Q] downgrade from froyo to eclair
Hi all new member. I have an unlocked galaxy s on o2 from the carphone warehouse in uk. I used the reg hack to upgrade to froyo and all is well exept my product code has now changed from xeu to xee. I have decided that i want to return to my original 2.1 firmware and wait for the official uk froyo release. Would i be able to use the original hack (with a few changes)that we used to get froyo to trick kies into giving me my old firmware back???
My old firmware was xxjm1 for all 3 files
If the answer to the above is yes then i am just wondering what to change for the hdswerver? i know that i will use xxjf3 but there is a part that says "swc" what would i change this to?? Hope somebody can help

Woo hoo! Back to JM1 I go then! I'll give them another chance to get it right otherwise it's an iPhone 4 for me for Christmas!

Root your phone
and download a root file explorer
go to /EFS and delete the files nv_data.bin and nv_data.bin.md5 simultaneously
that should fix it

They removed it this morning, It's not possible to update using kies to 2.2 at the moment. Only way is to use odin to flash it.

I also have it from bell canada and I decided to wait after hearing people loosing 850 band. I dont want to take a risk. I ve been waiting for 2 months and can wait couple more weeks.

Hi, I'm not so clever with linux and android and I've the same problem: I want to roll back to 2.1 JM2 italian version because not satisfied with froyo
What should I do after deleting the two files?
Thanks

I find it hard to belive that froyo runs slower than 2.1. If you do a facyory reset after upgrade it.s quite fast and responsive. much faster than 2.1. Vodoo is also gonna set up a new version of their lag fix to run on 2.2. just wait. I updated using kies and regedit.

I'm happy to hear that your experience is fine. Mine looks very different.. the SGS with froyo is slower than eclair also with OCLF. Free memory is less than 160MB instead the 200MB or more with eclair. Some apps are always running even when I kill manually or automatically..
And more I can't see important features that wasn't on eclair..
But that's my opinion..

Really? Wiped too right after flashing. And I can confirm that Froyo is laggier than Eclair (at least in some aspects). Here are some examples:
- laggy keyboard input (eg: on market, when writing a long post on the browser, etc)
- laggy app drawer. if I slide fast between apps pages it start lags. I have 6 pages of apps. Also pinch to zoom out in app drawer it's extremely laggy.
- laggy browser, consumes a lot of RAM and CPU. Try for eg pocketnow.com. Go and watch RAM/CPU usage in Task Manager. (tested with plugins off and on demand)
- even less free RAM available
And that's with voodoo lag fix applied.
And that's just not me. It's global. I bet you have those issues too, maybe you haven't used the phone too much.

Why I'm not surprised to hear it also from other people?!?

The question you're asking ought to be directed to Scandinavian as they're the only ones that can tell for sure. So here's mt crack at it.
Are there any Scandinavians out here who have a Galaxy s on the original elair 2.1 and can confirm that if they check for an update none is showing where KIES used to indicate a Froyo update was available?
If the answer is yes then the update got pulled, if no it means Samsung is proceeding as planned. There is also a small possibility they want to fix stuff before releasing it outside Scandinavia. I really don't think that's very likely in this case, it's inconsistent with leaking the regional firmware for Arabic and African countries.
I guess only time will tell. I'm going to wait for a one of the cyanogenmod as I have lost all faith in Samsung ever getting this firmware right. Actually jm2 with voodoo is not so bad.

I will explore more, it's wierd, the keyboard input seems to be one of the most succesfull improvements in the 2.2 on my galaxy s.

[DEV] Browser w/incognito mode from CM6

Would anyone want the CM6 Browser w/Incognito Mode ported to the vibrant? I just contacted @Optedoblivion on twitter maybe we can get this started. Can we just pull over the apk? Or do we have to modify any framework files?
If anyone is interested in getting this started feel free to share it here. I'd be also interested in porting over some other CM6 features. We might not get a full CM6 rom for a while so why not port over some of the stuff?

Why do you need that? what exactly are you going to do with it

I for one am very interested in this and any other possible ports!

Incognito mode aka porn mode

I'm for getting that ported, useful feature, even some might be embarrassed to admit it.

I don't know much about porting but I can code pretty well

Just take his AOSP Rom, it's already modded and only need the kernel change to one of my kernel's.. it boots perfect & you could add back Twiz if needed..
I had it running for a few days, only thing left to due was Mod the Dialer & contacts to stock & I never had time to look it over..

I too would love this app for JI6 Stock. I like the stock ROM and like to just mod it to work. The Music port from CM6 is amazing.

I would kill to have any version of the CM browser working on my Vibrant. I miss my options to turn off the zoom controls, among others, and despite everyone saying that Incognito Mode is solely for porn, it's a handy feature for debugging websites. Want to be certain that you're not working from cached data, or with cookies that are left over from your last session? Incognito Mode to the rescue! Turn on Incognito Mode and you don't have to wipe all your saved history, cookies, and cache, but you can still check out your newest changes to your site as if you had.
But I think the main road block to a port (and correct me if I'm wrong) is that it would mean loosing the basic Flash support that we now enjoy in the stock browser.

No one has actually tried to just copy over the files, I imagine?

I'm interested in being able to change the useragent properly... A simple copy over won't work. A genius like eugene373 would have to handle this probably Lool.
I haven't spent much time debugging it myself so I honestly don't know. I could try compiling it from source from CM6 git and logcatting from there but I'm a busy guy...

A simple copy over might work using the fascinate browser with acompanying libs. Possibly without. Im pretty sure the fascinate is using the stock eclair browser which can switch user agents. If that works properly assuming that my lack of sleep hasnt made me retarded yet. It shouldnt be too difficult to get the cm5 browser to work on our 2.1 roms. I mean thats a positive step right?
Edit: so I was wrong about the fascinate. But I have gotten the cm5.0.8 browser to load up but force closes when I enter browser settings. Any one interested in taking a look?

Why not just use the commands on the current browser works just fine by typing into the browser about:debug for debugging options obviously about:useragent to switch modes other commands I havent found a use for so I don't remember them but you can google them.

Does the browser still work when you change settings in the debug menu?
My browser starts force closing every time I open it until I use titanium backup to restore the browser settings.

I pulled the source from CyanogenMod git hub fixed all the problems and compiled it
you could probably backport some of it to eclair.

none because that is a 2.1 browser but its a sense browser so check out 3rd sense it has the sense browser so it should be similar enough. i dont use the stock browser so i really dont remember it that well so that may not be exactly what your looking for... worth a try though

Thank you for replying...
Where do I get that one? Sorry to be a pain, but I want a 2:2 rom but I just don't like
The mobile view on my phone...
Thanks again...

I wouldnt go for that rom if the browser if what you want the most since it has some javascript issues and makes the browser crash when opening some pages, you can disable that in the browser settings but some peolpe are still getting the crash... if you want to try it anyways here is the link to the thread.

If you dont like the mobile view then why dont you just go into settings for your browser and turn off the mobile view.

thats what i do... but i want a 2.2 rom... because i have a lot of apps and dont have any space and i want to use the app2sd...

you should use a2ext because there are problems with the 2.2 apps2sd. meaning no widgets can be moved because they dont show up, launchers cant be move because they dont show up most of the time, the entire app isnt moved to the sdcard only part of it so you still lose memory, dalvik-cache is still on internal which is almost hte same size as the app itself which takes up tons of memory... but still if 2.2 is a big issue then definitely go with cyanogen it seems to be the most stable and it does have a2ext support just not enabled. but that is easy enough to enable also partitioning your sdcard is easy enough as well so i would look into that

thank... i dont really know how to do a app2ext... if u have a link so i can do that will be nice... i like the cm.... but the problem with that one is the browser... i know im picky like that... and thanks to all of u who replied to this thread...

[Q] Device 'Type' problem ?

I'm struggling to get FarmVille2 working on the new Nexus 7 i bought for my good lady
Am i right in thinking that FB is detecting the device type as 'Tablet' and this is why it is forcing load of the FarmVille Express version, rather than the full game ?
If so, is there an easy way to change the device type to 'PC' or whatever to make it work ?
I remember that in order to get BBC iPlayer working on the HD2, it was a similar scenario, but involved an easy reg change, but guess this is different
Any help please ?
Many thanks

In browser, I presume?
In Chrome, you can click menu, then 'request desktop site'
In Firefox, you can download an addon 'Phoney' (I think this is what it's called), and set it to desktop.
I really don't know about other browsers.

I guess it will have to be FF Beta then ?

OK, update;
Can't get this working with FF Beta, Dolphin 8.5.1 nor Opera (Using Flash 11.1)
The closest i get is the game starts loading (with sound playing) but gets stuck at about half way. This is using FireFox Beta
Does anyone know of a definite way to get FV2 working on the N7, or have any other suggestion ? Perhaps a different browser/version of Flash ?
Many thanks

HTML STANDARDS cross platform compatility ISSUE
I think this is a similar issue as with Pogo games... My Better half would Love to play her Pogo games on her Android tablet.. I have tried nearly everything.. Even went thru talking to them on the pogo forums.. The bottom line is They do NOT SUPPORT the Android Flash/JAVA run time players.. Check some other flash game sites made for windows machines. You will see the same issue. This is one of the reasons there needs to be a HTML Standard for VIDEO/Animation on the net..
I would say your best best at this point is to go to Facebook support and see if there is any documentation about this.There could be a solution now.Its been many months since i tried doing exactly what you want.There was no solution at that time and no work being done to make it happen in sight..
My thoughts are until there is a True HTML Standard that all browsers and browser content MUST Comply with . We will have this type of issues. HTML 5 And then now 6 is supposed to be the issue.. People keep holding on to what they are using now. They do this to save dev. dollars. Until all back word compatibility in browsers are broken there will be NO True standard for cross platform games in a browser environment.
If you do find a solution Please let us all know..
Good Luck

Is it needed? The stock browser has it built in, just select "Enable Flash Player" in the browser menu.
Sorry if I've missed the point of your post.

It comes preinstalled on the phone dude

Even if it's on the phone it's been blocked in certain browsers; i.e. Dolphin. There are threads that indicate certain versions of dolphin work but they didn't work for me. Also, I've read Chrome doesn't support flash but I don't know if they ever did. I've found Opera to be a good alternative for me.

Chrome has never supported flash on Android. If I need flash, I just use the stock browser most of the time.

I have no idea why but I have a mental block about using the stock browser. I try it and have no issues but just can't commit to it...
