Sorry, if you read that post further down, you'll see that the .md5 is missing in the file. Can't be used.

Try Mx Player and Mobo Player. These two players can play almost all movies/music files. Download from market.

1) Connect to Kies and flash again.
2) If you don't root your phone, your warranty is still valid. But even if you have rooted, you can always unroot it.
3) If you want to play save, take your phone to Samsung Service Center, maybe it's the hardware problem.

1. If you formerly was not using CyanogenMod v.7.0 and above, you probably did not have ClockWorkMod installed.
b) Therefore, you use ODIN to flash the CWM .tar file to install to you phone. This is only done once.
c) To enable CWM, you Press > OFF Button > Reboot > Recovery --------> your phone will reboot into CWM mode.

3. Everytime when you flash or upgrade a new rom, your phone will start with a start-up menu.
b) By default, the setting, > Data enabled < is ENABLED!
c) This is why, your phone will consume your data credits.
d) Therefore, it is advisable to remove your SIM card when flashing to a new rom, unless you have a packaged data contract with your line service provider.

4) You have to enable mad2sd by either using ADB with your pc, or by using your phone's Terminal Emulator using the following procedure :
a) Type " su " (without the quotes) and allow super user permission.
b) Type " mad2sd on " (without the quotes) and reboot.
c) Once you have done these two steps, your apps will be automatically installed in your sdcard's Ext4 partition.
d) To check your mad2sd status, type " mad2sd " and you'll see if mad2sd is enable on your phone or not.
e) It is not necessary to remove your previous data on Ext4.

NOTE :
1. For CyanogenMod v.7.0 and above, when upgrading new versions, and hotfixes, data wipe is not necessary unless it's stated in the changelogs of the new release.

2. It is advisable to perform backup with CWM in case there is anything wrong. Backing up with CWM will back up virtually everthing, your rom, data, settings, sms, contacts, personalizations like your launchers, wallpapers..etc. With a few clicks of your phone, you can restore back everything EXACTLY the same as when you backed up.

ENJOY!

Added on August 20, 2011, 11:16 pm1) Go Launcher is okay.
2) If you want fast, simple launcher, ZEAM or Nemus Launcher are great. They use low memory and have easy user friendly management.
3) If you like more functions, personalization, Go Launcher EX is good. But it uses a lot of memory and may slow down performance.
4) If you are saying disabling the adw launcher, go to > settings > applications > manage applications > ----> Select ADW Launcher > Clear defaults.
a) If uninstalling, Select > Uninstall. BUT BE CAREFUL! MAKE SURE YOU HAVE ANOTHER LAUNCHER INSTALLED OR ELSE YOU'LL FIND THAT YOU WON'T HAVE ANY LAUNCHER! AND YOU'LL THEN NEED TO USE ADB TO INSTALL ONE.
b) With a few launchers installed will NOT interfere with the performance of you phone. It's perfectly alright. (I myself have 4 launchers and I use them alternately!)

The problem is with Google's sync feature. It seems to have backed up your old Froyo (or older CyanogenMod) settings, and is now trying to restore the incompatible settings when you sign in, which is causing the problems you're seeing. What you can do is not allow the automatic backup the next time you do a data-wipe.

Additionally, if you're restoring Eclair/Froyo system settings via Titanium Backup, you're just asking for trouble. This is like restoring your Windows 98 settings on a Windows 7 PC. It could work, but it will most likely cause compatibility problems.

The solution :

1) Update the market app here : http://www.mediafire.com/?cv3zv11fdtivtci

b) try and see if you can install any app from the market.

2) If the above doesn't work for you, perform a data wipe and as stated above, DO NOT ALLOW the automatic backup after you have done data wipe.

b) Install your google apps/ and other apps one by one.

Good luck!

Yup, advisable to backup with CWM first before upgrading.

And also..... CWM v.5 is released! ....update to this version first before doing upgrade to CM 1.2.

Hey... sometimes Psyke is releasing newer versions like an express train.....!

Kies cannot perform root or unroot. Use universal androot app or use back the app which you formerly used to root your phone.

Added on August 21, 2011, 7:48 pmCM latest v1.2 - without mad2sd using S2E (simple2ext) is now very fast without any lags - at the moment. Seem to be very light and CPU is very responsive. (My Sis upgraded. I still haven't... )

Will update feedback from my Sis. Testing...

It's okay to do it using titanium. If you want to be safe, I recommend doing it one at a time as sometimes titanium backup messes with some data applications and result in corruption of the apps.

Added on August 22, 2011, 2:43 pmMuch stable, responsive, smooth and the GPS locks immediately! mad2sd is history now....

1) You have to disable mad2sd first and install the latest cm v.1.2 first.
2) Or if you don't want the CM latest version, disable mad2sd.
3) Tickable boxes - Applications, Private Apps, Dalvik cache and Download Cache. Only the Application Data is greyed out.

It's not recommended to use swap. Instead use Compcache @ 18% (default)

You should have something like this with S2E :




Cache - This is the cache (it cannot be empty or else your system will be unresponsive.
Data - This is where all your data/apps are stored
Ext - This is the partitioned ext4 where it functions as your internal memory. Downloaded apps are stored here automatically.
SD card - This is your FAT32 where you store your personal stuffs, like pictures, videos, music, etc.
System - This is where all the system data are stored.

Added on August 22, 2011, 10:19 pmCM version 1.2 don't have mad2sd script. It has been removed. So you won't be able to use it.

---

Added on August 22, 2011, 10:31 pmQuote from Psyke :

On mad2sd total space is the size of your Ext4 partition. On Simple2EXT the total space remains the phone default and when you install apps, the space will decrease. This is normal.

Mad2sd and S2E just works differently. The mad2sd script would show free space on the external drive, but it still had the same restrictions as simple2ext in reality.

The internal storage will decrease much more slowly when you've moved the folders. If you move /data/data (which is disabled by default for a good reason - lag), your internal storage will almost never decrease.

You got it working right!

Possibilities :

1) Check your usb cable/usb port of your pc. Try using another pc.
2) Did you update to the latest CWM v.0.5 ?
3) Did you install in sequence, CM v1.2 and then Google Apps?
4) Your sdcard may be corrupted due to previous apps' residue (left behind)

Solution :

1) Data wipe.
2) If the data wipe cannot resolve your issue, then most probably it's your sdcard's corruption.
3) Data wipe with CWM.
4) Re-partition your sdcard also with CWM.
5) Re-install CM rom v.1.2 and then Google Apps.

Added on August 23, 2011, 4:35 pmMost probably it's the compatibility issue with Go SMS Pro and Cyanogen.

1) Your backup which you are restoring now - is it cm v.1.1 and/or plus hotfix? If so, this is the problem because the latest v.1.2 does not use mad2sd script.
2) And mad2sd is being enabled when you restored back.
3) So now you'll have to do everything again, ie. same as you are upgrading from v.1.1 to current version 1.2. Remember, don't perform restore.
4) The procedure which you did restoring is right.
5) Advance Restore is restoring selective data, like you only want to to restore ext4 partition, for example.

1) Your backup files are located in the ClockWorkMod Folder in your SDcard. You don't need to reflash back to 1.1 and then backup.

2) If you are currently using 1.2 and is satisfied with it, then I think you probably won't need the previous backup. What you can do now is copy the previous backup file to your pc. That is if you want to keep it. Then backup your current v1.2.

3) If you are talking about restoring back your previous settings, contacts, sms, etc., then you restore your previous back up which is 1.1
4) And perform the steps 2) - 5)

Note : What happens to when you perform the above steps 3) & 4) is that :

1) Your previous 1.1 version + settings + contacts + sms + data + etc., all all restored, except your FAT32 partition which you have your personal stuffs.
2) And when you upgrade to v.1.2 , only the rom is changed.

1) Actually you don't need to do data wipe when you upgrade from v.1.1 to v.1.2.
2) Yes you can either move back one by one or use titanium backup. But sometimes titanium messes with certain apps and may caused file/apps corruption.

Hey, Curiouso, I didn't realized that that's your blog till I saw zam asking you. That's great! Formerly I have a few blogs, but due to my work schedules, I discontinued writing... . Maybe someday I'll start again....

Thanks for the info, Curiouso. I'll try it out.

EDIT : I have downloaded it and now using this theme. It's nice. Thanks.

Probable causes :

1) Did you disabled mad2sd before you update v1.2?
2) When you update v1.2 did you also re-install Google Apps?
3) After updating, did you install S2E and check the settings in S2E?
4) Data wipe is not necessary.

NOTE : Remove the widgets (not uninstall) and add back the widget again. This is due to change of transferring apps scripts from mad2sd to S2E.

EDIT : You can update your market app. Go back a few posts here (post #2472) and get the latest market app from that link.
