I am Fring heavy user, always video chat with my son.. but after few hours not using it, I notice the Fring has been 'killed'.. i know Android needs more memory to run other apps i.e Opera, facebook etc..

Is there any way to keep specific apps to keep running without being killed? I don't use Advanced Task Killer anymore.. after start using AutoKiller Memory

how to update the bootloader btw?i just flash the phone.through odin.thats it.

Strange. This morning I found that my APN is gone. Need to redo the process again. BatteryHistory app is not working anymore. I guess the secret codes has changed.

*#1234# is still working..



Batt just drop 3% overnight with wifi on. Running Gingerbread XXJVK ROM now!

dear all~~ my phone is currently on froyo 2.2.1, speed mod k13.

to revert back to stock firmware, i can use I9000DXJPE (2.2) from samsungfirmware right?

need to flash PDa,phone, csc, pit using odin right?

or is there any way i can flash back to stock kernel only, not the entire firmware?

I answer you Qs with red indicators above, hope other sifus can help too.. for your last question, I recommend you to NAND backup , reflash stock firmware and NAND restore.. less headache and you get back all apps and settings

**Edit: you can download any firmwares from here .. there's a bunch of firmware lists compiled by XDA member

Gotta open up Google Earth and point it at your screen? Hehe

Which package did you select during downloading?

hihi, thanks for your response!

for the stock kernel comment: you want to use stock 2.2 or 2.2.1? using software '7zip' ..extract zImage, create tar file and flash using Odin

actually i want to use stock 2.2.1, but so far only can find 2.2.1 I9000ZSJPJ. my phone build is froyo.dxjpe. so should use back dxjpe right?

actually.. where to extract zImage from? from the tar file of the firmware? sorry, first time doing this.

what is NAND also? is it something like titanium backup? i'm using titanium backup currently.

Downloading the one without bootloader.Or should i try with bootloader?One more thing, mine does not have gingerbread keyboard inside. Weird since it is gingerbread!

Find/download the DXJPE PDA file. Opening using 7zip or other archiving software, you should see zimage file. Then, either delete all other contents in the archive or extract just the zimage, and archive it in tar. (Use other program than 7zip to tar files, apparently Odin don't like 7zip archival). Then flash the zimage.tar using Odin. No data will be lost.

If you came from Froyo, you must full package with bootloader otherwise you'll have issues here and there, namely screen corruption.

Did you know we don't have Eclair, Froyo keyboard as well? All these while we don't have Android keyboard. HTC devices also uses their own proprietary keyboard.

Thanks for the guide dude.However i plan to downgrade back to Froyo,since i cannot feel and see the greatness of gingerbread,yet.Should i give a try on sweethoney 2.7xe?previously on Darky's 9.3..

I feel it is stable enough for daily use. Battery dropped 1% over 3.5 hours only! Feels a lot more stable than miui. Better to wait until cm7 is more complete.

Can replace swype keyboard from insanity rom found in the thread's first page.

Download the rom with updated bootloader. Link in theandroidsoul.com

Over how many hours?

If localisation is not important and not sending back for warranty claim, better to flash 2.2.1 firmware like zsjpj

around 7 hours +

that a bad news for us....

Impressive. Certain UI elements feel smoother than froyo. The only thing missing are enhancements found in a custom rom

I'm following supercurio's twitter. Seems like he hasn't got any reply from samsung. But I'm not aware that locking bootloader infringes on gpl licence. If it does, we can expect lawsuit on companies locking it.

my tab got protected bootloader however at xda got patch to release the botloader lock

especially motorola defy

I am impressed as well with the batt life. Yea, I miss the dark theme of android market and the dark transparent curtain of the notification area.



Locking bootloader is actually not a bad thing. It will help increase security considering many viruses are bound to surface in near future that can steal data and do serious damage to phone system. Yea, it is bad for custom ROMs and rooted apps since the early versions already give way to many innovation on this part. That is why I prefer the way Sony is moving in their future direction, which allows users the option to lock and unlock the bootloader in their xperia series.

On the other note, whether bootloader is locked or not, someone somewhere will figure a way to hack into it somehow. Just take an example of iOS.

is there anyway to backup apps and restore them after i flashed my firmware?
