[Q] Question(s) about modifying existing ROMS - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Morning!
Im tinkering around learning about adding apps and customizations to existing ROMS. Im messing around with Tayutama Edition v1.0.2 (I9000) superslim, and i want to add shortcuts to the desktop and remove existing ones. Where would i find that info? I think i read its just in a xml file but i cannot see one that includes the information in the ROM
2nd Question: Do i have to keep the modem.bin file in the ROM? i just dont need to keep flashing it every time i test if the radio hasnt changed
3rd Question: I put in Handcent SMS into the /system/app to install when it flashes, but it crashes when i go to settings. Anyone else seen this?
Im very new to this, but a quick study! Any help is appreciated!!
Cheers!

Anybody Know? Maybe i posted this in the wrong forum? Arg i have just hit a wall and i cannot find the answers im looking for!!!
Cheers!

AllGamer and I share the forum-level moderating responsibilties for the SGS i9000 areas. While I have asked ragin (and ask the same of everyone here) to use the "report this" button at the top of every thread/post to notify us of things like this, this thread (and several others he has comment similarly in) are indeed misplaced and do not belong in the development section.
If anyone is unclear as to the proper location/placement for threads, particularly in regards to the development section, I advise you to read both the "STOP!! Before you post, read this NOW!!" thread at the top of each section...it has clear and extensive guidelines for what should and should not be posted in the development section.
We appreciate everyone's cooperation in both proper placement of threads/posts, as well as proper use of the methods for handling ones that end up here improperly

Deleted. Changed my mind about the question

A lot of information without use

well i just wanna suggest something about the format of this forum. why is it not an organized forum as some other gsm forums are. It must be categorized according to different topics as software or hardware related etc. Also the search mechanism is not very good. whenever we try to search abt some topic it gives the result as some 2**** topics found and hense very difficuilt to find things of ur interest and that is why forum is getting too much messy day by day..............
So any solution to this problem is awaited
Biggest problem in boards are ppl like U. They don't bother looking for the right forum for their post. Often they double-post or even cross-post!
They galantly overlook the offered search function. Even if they try them (once), they claim, they couldn't find anything at all. When the search function is told to combine the search words (AND- instead of OR-search) it's very useful.
Preview is a thing posters like don't know how to use. They wonder what certain functions (e.g. mark up possibilities) are for, but if there's no button "DON'T CLICK ME! I MIGHT TELL YA SOMETHING ABOUT MARK UP!", they don't care whether they used it correct or not.

how to change this text? [whoops, my bad, V]

how to change this text?
How do I change the title of a thread that has already been in progress?
Never mind. Changing first post title doesn't seem to work...
I think edit has been opening already in advanced mode for me. If I use a second tab and edit a second thread the advanced button becomes visible and when pressed takes me to what I normally see.
Doing that changes the text when veiwed from within the thread, but from the forum it is not changed. Above i added the <test> but it dose not show up in the forum. Dose it take some time to take effect?
You're right. I was so sure this would work I posted without testing. Sorry.
Just tried it on one of my old threads and it doesn't update.
Strange...
Hum, I can't even do it and I have mod satus, I will post this in the mod section and see if an admin can point us in the correct area.
Hi Guys,
Admins and mods can change this by going to thread tools -> edit thread.
I changed some settings which should enable the thread starter to also change this.
OdeeanRDeathshead: can you test whether you can now change this?
Thanks in advance,
Flar
This is my Title and I can change it if I want to.
Now I see it,
Over edit and advanced you can change the title of the message but not the thread. Over Thread tools the thread.
But can the starter of a thread change his own title (I am not sure if he has thread tools, I would think not).
We wait to find out
Any place I can get the thread tolls to drop down, they do not contain the edit thread option. I still would like to be able to do this.
solution:
Hi Guys,
figured it out:
We wanted to give the user who started the thread unlimited time to change the thread title, therefore we changed some settings to a "default" unlimited setting. We've found out that this is not yet an enabled feature by the software developers.
In short: we must set a time limit within which the user who started the thread is allowed to change the title.
We've set this time limit to a week, within a week after starting the thread the user who started the thread can change the title.
This can be done simply by editing the post title, thread tools are only available to moderators and admins. (this is not how I thought this up, it's simply how the software works)
Hope this helps.
Greetz,
Flar
Thank you for your effort Flar. I think a week is too small. For example, I wanted to change the thread title on my GSMbeam thread to show that there was a security update. With ongoing stuff like that it takes weeks-months between the first post and the ongoing refinements. Why not just let the author have a very long period, a year would be good, to alter the thread title. I can understand that you may be concerned that people may totaly alter their titles after a while to get fresh interest in old threads but my motivations are valid. I leave it in your hands but if you can't give more time then perhaps a moderator could change the text to what I edited my first post in that thread to be.
I feel the poster should be able to edit his subject with no time llimit.
Lets take software, user x post appl y ver sion 1.0, then upgrades his first post with ver 2.0. He should change his own tiltle.
Sure mods could do it, admins as well, but do we want to ??
I agree as well. And I think its not just for those who post software (though as one of them I would like the option). Many 'fresh users' (my polite way of saying n00bs) start off with titles like "Pleeeeeees help me" or "Urgent!". I don't need to point out the problems with such titles and why they often prevent the poster from receiving an answer.
Often though they receive an advice and should be able to follow it and change the title to something more useful without having to bother the mods who I am sure are busy as it is.
If the software won't allow permanent permission to change the title it should be set to the longest period allowed (hope its more that a week).
I need to set a limit so i'm really sorry I can't put this on unlimited.
As soon as this option comes available I'll change this.
Untill that time I've set the maximum to a year.
Greetz,
Flar
thanks it worked now

Rogers HTC Dream and Hero ROM; process of installing

Hello Everyone,
I want to know which is so far the best ORIGINAL Rogers Dream rom w/everything on it. Also what is the latest, fastest, and reliable rom for rosie. I wanna make this a sort of a reference thread. I want the latest of both. Also what are the exact steps to putting on a rom like that on my untouched tmobile g1. I haven't hacked or anything to it besides unlocking. Please let me know.
Thank You
To get the rom on your phone go to the development forum, then go to the helpful links thread and youll find good tutorials in there. Or you can go to the development forum and use the search tool on the right towards the top and type in 'root' that should also get you the tutorials. but dont just go to the development forum and start a thread asking how to root they will verbally abuse you until they are pleased with themselves in there. If you absolutely cant find the root thread let me know and ill give you a link
As far as rosie i wouldnt use any of the builds that are out right now. If youre used to using the stock/stable android you will be sorely disappointed at the lag and lack of capability (no bluetooth, no led, no auto rotate in sms, popping keyboard out on homescreen causes the phone to loose its mind, every button you press reacts slower than the stock build). It will get better but dont even bother for now. If you have to try it id go with 'Youre my hero' thread in development forum (by drizzy drake)and use the Fullv3 version or else the jachero (developed along with ccyrowski) 1.4 both of these builds are within the first several threads in the development forum
I would go to the development thread and search for JACMyTouchSki version 2.5.2----its stable and has some fun features to play with, it also has the stock theme/look to it which i like, it also auto rotates everywhere including the homescreen, you can also choose how many desktop screens you want and so on, it is the best build in my opinion. if you must have rogers just type that into the search in the development forum and look for the threads that begin with [ROM]

[Q] Is there a guide for extended lockscreen menu?

I hope it's not OT in this section, but I figured it belongs here more than to General...
I've been wondering for quite some time now...is there any guide for how to create the extended lockscreen for I9000 ROM? I've tried searching for it quite a few times, but never managed to find any info about it. Most of the posts mention something along the lines of "I think I saw one somewhere in thread X", but when trying to locate the actual guide, you usually end up going in circles and the guide is nowhere to be found neither here on XDA nor anywhere else.
So - is there any such guide? And if it isn't, could someone who knows how to make the extended menu perhaps spare a few words/tips/links? I could probably try to make a proper guide out of them once I'm succesful in creating the extended menu myself...
I notice there isn't many themes/ROMs that offer the extended menu. I think having a proper guide would benefit everyone - the extended menu is SO handy...

Here you go
Oh, it's in Vibrant section...damn...never occured to me to actually look there. (Like I needed another proof that this splitting of Galaxy S forums into hundreds of subforums was a very bad decision...oh well...)
Thanks a lot!

WebServer Q&A / Troubleshooting Thread

Hi folks,
I'm opening this thread to provide a place for people who have questions or problems with the WebServer Native Access app to contact me and get support. I will monitor this thread as closely as I can. As always, PLEASE search before posting (seriously, it's in the forum rules)! Questions which have already been answered will get responses ranging from exasperated to snarky, or may get no response at all!
I am doing this for a few reasons.
1) People without at least ten forum posts can't post in the main thread, so this gives them a better option than PMing me (PLEASE don't do that unless it's some kind of seriously sensitive issue).
2) The main thread is a mishmash of version announcements, problem reports (and responses), discussion of the technology and capabilities, and various other miscellaneous topics. It's messy and makes finding what you're looking for pretty hard in many cases. If you have a question about the app, even if you have at least ten posts, please put it here!
3) The original thread has a lot of very early discussion of the app, which is mostly irrelevant now. Except for the top post, almost nothing posted in that thread has been updated as the app has progressed. I will try to keep this one up to date.
Stuff that goes here:
* Questions about using the app ("Does this work on the Lumia Icon?").
* Questions about the app itself ("Can I include the server code in my own app?")
* Requests for help ("How do I install this app on WP8.1?")
* Bug reports, although if you can write a COMPLETE bug report - environment, repro steps, expected result, details of what happened instead - you are also welcome to post those in the main thread.
* Discussions of bugs and issues that have already been reported, including suggested fixes or work-arounds.
* Feature requests, though these can also be put on the main thread.
Stuff that doesn't go here:
* General "Thank you! Very useful" posts; there's a Thanks button under every post I (or anybody else) make.
* Discussion of the technical details of the app (code suggestions, etc.).
* Unhelpful declarations that you have a problem ("It doesn't work!") - those don't belong *anywhere*!
* Requests for the ETA of a new version or feature (I can't give ETAs for something I'm only able to work on in my spare time)
* Anything that has already been answered, even in another thread!
F A Q will go here when I get around to writing one.
Reserved for now.
Dont Work on #920
Wow, I'm... sorry to hear that? Maybe if you provided even the least, tiniest bit of useful information (like, what happened, whether you were able to install the app, whether you were able to run it, what OS version you're running, the minor and obvious stuff) I would actually be able to help you.
Hi,
I'm trying to make an Windows Phone 8.1 App that provides 2 statics htmls to be loaded from a computer.
I had tried a lot of times to use the "WP8Native Access Webserver" but it doesn't work.
Can you say me a tutorial or an example app to see how to use it on WP8.1?
THX!
