I can get ADB working fine with when my i7500 is configured with Galaxo but I cannot get ADB to see my phone when it is configured with GAOSP. Do I need another driver for my computer? I don't think so, any thoughts? Windows 7 x86.
I am trying to push libril.so as per this thread.

Alright this may have been asked a few times, or maybe it could not of been asked. I just can't find the thread related to answering this question.
Okay so my question is, can I flash Galaxo 1.6.2 or GAOSP "without" ODIN flashing or updating my firmware to 1.6? and not then what consequences would occur if I don't flash firmware update before GALAXO 1.6.2 flash. My phone firmware version is I7500ZHJA1 and I believe that is the latest firmware for my region which is still Android 1.5.
i've been scouring all over to find a way to change the boot animation for the latest nightly of GAOSP, or for any Galaxy ROM for that matter. i've gotten a few apps from the Market, but aren't completely sold on their custom animations. since most of the custom animations i like are for other devices, what do i need to alter in the desc.txt file in order to get them to work? can i just download any zip that i do find that i like and just replace the file and reflash the GAOSP ROM?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI received a used handset from ebay (for a fantastic price!) and it has an outdated version of Galaxo ROM on it. I want to return to the latest official Samsung ROM (whichever that is), so that i can then do some comparison benchmarks before moving to the latest GAOSP. Can anyone help me with a couple of questions?
1) How to return to a stock ROM from Galaxo ROM?
2) Where can I obtain the latest ROM and which is it? Intended use is in UK.
3) Does anyone have any idea about when the next GAOSP (full) Beta will be?
PS: I have never done this process, so please humour me and give me detailed instructions ..
The Android 2.0 sticky thread seems to have digressed from the original subject somewhat and I can't seem to find the very latest news on how the GAOSP port to 2.1 for Galaxy is going since drakaz got the 29 sources....
Anyone heard anything, got any links etc to where the latest news is?
The usual places I look don't seem to change much these days... all quiet means people are working hard on it?
first of all let me just say that beta2 is superb i just have one problem with it whenever i'm in a call (reciving or dialing) the screen goes blank and i cant wake up the phone not the end call button and not the open (side) button the only ways i can wake it up is by getting another call or rebooting
any way to work around it? i have tryed several screen on pogs from the market but no luck there without it i would use it everyday, its much much better then galaxo.
Can't get it to work. When I try to Swype I get the blue box of doom.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBeen using Galaxo 1.6.3.3 for quite some time now and it's fast, stable and tweakable. Only thing that lacks is the support of Dutch locales. Tried the app MoreLocale 2 however this only changes the language of the homescreen menu. Settings e.g. remain English. In XXJC2 Dutch locales are included so I was wondering if it's possible to copy them to Galaxo 1.6.3.3. Anyone knows how to do this? Seems like some Tai managed to install Tai fonds by replacing Sans Droid in system/fonts. Don't think this adds languages though.
View 2 Replies View RelatedAre there any requirements for flashing the i7500 to galaxo? Cause I can't use the recovery (any version) to flash the galaxo to my phone. Recovery hasn't any response on operations wipe, flash, rooting, fixing permission etc.Anyway, I found I can do fixing permission with adb command to execute the script "fix_permissions.sh" in the /tmp/RECTOOLS in recovery mode.Unfortunately, fixing the permission can not help for the wiping and flashing operations. the operations don't work also.I have also tried to flash by using "flash_image" command in /tmp/RECTOOLS, but I can't identify the flashing partition, the following is the result of df command.

Especially if you dont like to leave ssh running.Instead you can run dropbear manually and redirect the port using adb, then putty in directly.

If I upgrade from 1.5 to 1.6 using this method Flash rom Galaxo 1.6.1 - Installation on Samsung Galaxy I presume I will loose all my apps and settings.
Currently on O2 in the UK so i'm worried about losing message center numbers and APN names etc etc.
Is there a way to backup the phones settings and apps then restore them after i've flashed to 1.6?
There is a version of Launcher 2.1 which is available to donut and works on Galaxo 1.6.x. You can read about it here:
Android Launcher Modification
It is now available on the android market! Just search for adw, and install. As galax0 keeps the Launcher.apk in memory, you'll want to get rid of the Advanced Launcher and replace it with this one.
I used the following adb commands after installing from the market:
adb remount
adb shell
su
cp /system/app/Launcher.apk /system/app/Launcher.bak
reboot

Old instructions, in case you download a non-market zipped version:
Steps to install on Galaxy:
1) Make sure you have Galaxo 1.6.x. I used newest recovery, 4.6.2, although I doubt it matters.
2) Put the zip on the internal sdcard.
3) Reboot recovery
4) Perform a Nandroid Backup (very important!)
5) Perform the fix permissions operation.
6) Apply the zip you downloaded using the "apply any zip from SD" option.
7) Reboot.
New version for Galaxo : 1.6.3.3 ! Whats up ? TetherWifi is back !
Sometimes, we seek for something complicated.. kernel, drivers, device and the solution is very simple : firmware.
Since Donut, Samsung had removed ad-hoc support, not from kernel, or drivers, or Android itslef, but only from the firmware, named rtecdc.bin. Cupcake version of the firmware work fine for our use, so, why not using it on Donut release ? Thats done now.
How to install tetherwifi on Galaxo 1.6.X ?
1) Manuel way Take rtecdc.bin from a cupcake release (official or not) Push it on your device, named as /system/etc/rtecdc_adhoc.bin<LI sizset="11" sizcache="5">Download and install the last version of tetherwifi, included Galaxy support, and third party firmware support, 2.0.2, here : http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/.
Enjoy TetherWifi !
2) Recommended : Automatic update to Galaxo 1.6.3.3 from Galaxo 1.6.3.2 (no need to wipe, no need to reinstall, just a patch) <LI sizset="12" sizcache="5">Download the patch here : [url]?file=Galaxo_V1.6.3.3_PATCH_from_1.6.3.2.zip
Reboot in recovery mode
Choose Apply any zip from sd
Choose Galaxo_V1.6.3.3_PATCH_from_1.6.3.2.zip
Apply update
Reboot
Enjoy TetherWifi !

Im using a mobile broadband (USB Stick Form)
I tried use connectify version 2 to form a wireless access hub.
I had no issues in forming an access point but had problems in accessing the network from the Phone running Galaxo 1.6.3.3.
Does Galaxo 1.6.3.3 support WPA2-PSK protocol.
Because Connectify only creates networks having WPA2-PSK protocols which the phone has difficulty in connecting to.
Anyone successfully connectify and galaxo 1.6 may accordingly advice.
Also any other software...which may help me share my mobile broadband on my phone.
I installed Galaxo 1.6.3.4 a couple of days ago and since I'm a happy person! It's really a different phone.
Today when reading an article on the new google maps innovation (Walking Navigation, Street View), which are available with Google Maps 4.5, I tried finding them on the market and couldn't. I then realized I can't see any paid apps on the market after my Galaxo installation.
(I also noticed that the Google maps version with galaxo is 3.3)
So I've got two questions:
1) How can I "free" my market?
2) How can I install Google Maps 4.5 with the two gadgets above?
I couldn't find any info about how exactly Galaxo configuration affects the performance changing Eco / Mix / Perf mode. What exactly it does? I would also like to know the same thing for the SetCPU app. There is a profile for Samsung Galaxy called MSM7k Turbo. What changes and tweaks does it make / do to the phone? Does those two settings can somehow confront each other meaning how it affects the phone performance / behavior if, for example, I have Galaxo Configuration set to Eco and in the same time I selected Galaxy Turbo profile in SetCPU?

I'm tired of my [buggy] JC4, and I've finally worked up the nerve to try messing around with unofficial ROMs. But I can't seem to find a proper and step-by-step guide to installing Galaxo 1.6.3.4.

Galaxo 1.6.3.x is really great and kicks ass.
If music app annoys you after unplugging headset just delete it.

No need to restart, unplug your headphones and enjoy quiet.
Instead of crappy music.apk use Meridian from market

View 19 Replies View RelatedJust wondering if anyone has any idea about themes with Galaxo 1.6.3? I grabbed a theme from this site (which has a GREAT tutorial by the way), but whenever i try to install one, my phone will not boot following the update. I get a similar thing to if you have not restored GAPPS where the screen will just sit on the boot screen but go no further. I tried restoring GAPPS to see if that was somehow the issue, but not luck.
View 15 Replies View RelatedWell, there haven't been a lot of themes posted here, so I decided to share mine with others who might not know how to do so or have my awesome photoshop skills. (isn't Android about customization?)
New release (August 24th)! There's no big change, except that the Power Control Widget acted weird when you pressed them (it changed color, but not really correctly, it's a detail. Now fixed.) Also I removed the background for the application drawer, because I now use ADW launcher and the tray is somewhat transparent.
Anyway, I didn't make this theme for others, I made it for myself. I didn't plan on sharing it, and it's in no way a complete makeover for your Galaxy. I wanted a few things to be different, so I changed them, and I constantly mess around with this theme.
What I use: Galaxo 1.6.3.3 with Helix on the screenshots, I now use Galaxo 1.6.3.4 and ADW launcher from the market (with root explorer I went and deleted launcher.apk, so I get all my memory. Ask if you have problems).
DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST!
Note: To install Helix launcher, download this one, get into the recovery, fix package permissions, apply any zip and select HELIX.zip (if you download from the market, your phone will be slow: the original launcher is locked into memory, the one I gave you will overwrite it. I recommend using ADW though.)
GalaxOrbit-1.3
How to install:
-Download the GalaxOrbit-1.3.zip and extract it.
-Download and install Metamorph on the market (there's a free version).
-Run metamorph once.
-Place the extracted theme folder in the new "Androidtheme" folder of your SD card.
-Run metamorph
-When the check is over, select the bottom right option (Existing themes), and select GalaxOrbit-1.3
-In there, select GalaxOrbit-1.3.xml and then the bottom right option (Apply all). Answer yes to the prompts they give you, and there you go!
Screenshots (the Google logo in the search bar is now back to its original color):
FAQ:
What are the changes?
The power control widget is now transparent, same goes for part of the music widget. The notification tray is now transparent too, with some lightning effects. The application tray background now has a texture (it's plain dark with Helix launcher). The Google icon in the search bar now has colors (NOT ANYMORE, check edit at the bottom), and the icon for the stock music and video apps were changed. You can see all those changes in the four screenshots. The beach background was added too.
Why GalaxOrbit? That's a stupid name.
No reason, it's one of the first words starting with O that came to my mind (it was almost called GalaxOhMyGod, GalaxOrbit doesn't sound too stupid now, eh?)
What's the time widget?
You can see it in the screenshot where the app tray is opened, it's called Digital Clock widget�
Why did you start with the 1.1 version? Why not 1.0?
I started with 0.1 up to 1.1 and then I decided to release it. I tested many things during the 10 versions, such as: new launcher icon, transparent Google search, icons for the power widget control, new battery indicator, more wallpapers, etc etc. I decided that this was simple and nice-looking, so I went back to most of the stock stuff.
That's it. I don't expect many people to post and even less to use this, but I think it looks nice, and it might raise the awareness that you can do this yourself and it's REALLY easy. No need to code, to use ADB, the only thing you need is a program like winrar to open the .apk files (apk = zip) and then you can directly modify the icons, as they are simple png pictures. What I did was take an existing theme (GalaxAir, by Korline), and check out how it's done. I was surprised by its simplicity.
EDIT: GalaxOrbit 1.1 was removed and replaced with 1.2. I don't think anyone used it, but if you did, I suggest a Nandroid restore and using 1.2 instead. With 1.1, I would always get force close when installing an app from the market (probably because the Google apps were modified), so I removed the colors from the Google in the search widget. Going from 1.1 to 1.2 won't do the job, as Metamorph can't remove files, and I didn't include the original picture in 1.2 just in case it would do the same thing. 1.1 link was removed.
Admittedly I don't use my phone as a phone a whole lot. I didn't notice this before, but today while actually using this thing as a phone, the sound of the person at the other end would completely cut off if I said anything. It was exactly like using a speakerphone or a walkie talkie. Is this a bug with Galaxo or has my Galaxy always done this and I have failed to notice ?

I installed the galaxo rom on my I7500L the other day and immediately encountered a problem. My battery died in less then 7 hours with the screen off. I read into the no sleep problem (and being able to tell I have it by not being prompted by lock screen) and do not believe I have that problem. I am running it pretty much bare bones, with adw launcher, advanced task killer, and handcent. I did have the task killer set to auto task kill and aggressive (turned it off completely now) that may have been the issue.
Although its particularly odd that every time I enter task kill the settings application is always open no matter if i kill it or not. Is there any common knowledge I didn't follow (heard of deleting launcher.apk cause galaxo constantly refreshes it) but haven't done so yet.
Allowing the screen to time out and using the end call button to bring it back on has resulted in the settings program not running in the task manager as it constantly has. scratch that, still doing it.
