Thanks for the heads up!
Oh yea, just google for Drakaz's twitter.

Kouske

Nice one drakaz.

Hi guys,

Have gone ahead and flashed to 1.6, applied the update.zip, but dont seem to be able to get Gapps to restore properly. I cant boot past the 'android' screen atm

davyu

Are you using recovery 4.6? I haven't tried yet, besides, it says 'market restore' isn't fully functional, I don't quite know what that means.

N3maN

yeah, i upgraded to the latest recover. It's not market recovery i need, but Gapps because the Galaxo mod doesnt have the standard google apps. I believe market restore is to restore ALL apps, mms, and sms!

hoho

did you remember to copy the 1.6 tar on to /sdcard and rename it as SAMSUNG.tar? that's where the gapps are restored from.

Kouske

for some reason when i try calling someone it shuts down phone.android and i cant make a call...anyone got any ideas on this one?

MichaelW

I think there's a few bugs with this yet. Drakaz posted on twitter "Fixing call & sms in Galaxo 1.6"

eatsleeprepeat

Same thing happens to me messaging crashes on boot and I can't make calls, resets the network. Hope you made a nandroid backup.. Back on stock 1.6

MichaelW

Drakaz : "Galaxo 1.6.1 and Recovery 4.6.1 under test."

Kouske

hehe, i think ill wait a bit more until the galaxo bugs are solved. aside from the call thing it works perfect. really nice work.

atbeyi

if wifi tether was working i would keep it. but no chance right now cause drakaz doesn't have kernel source

buntoid

Drakaz just tweeted this: Galaxo 1.6.1 (Fixed SMS/Phone issue) and Recovery 4.6.1 (Fixed permissions issue) are online on frandroid forum.

muitommy

just a small update indeed and comes with loads of bugs too.
i would just stay in cupcake by now since there's no good reason for now to move on, still no bluetooth or multitouch, just a new market and new google maps with feature i couldn't really use it right now.

mvnjpy

the new maps is really good. that and the lock screen tweak is better in my opinion.

those two alone are worth the upgrade I think

Pennywis3

Donut seems fine to me, only thing that is bothering me is that VPN is not working, at least in my case.

Let's give Drakaz some time to finish the Galaxo rom.

mrbrdo

Haven't tried 1.6.1 yet, but galaxo 1.6 just boots indefinately for me... Stock 1.6 ROM works fine. I DID flash the stock ROM before applying galaxo update.zip (with drakaz recovery 4.6).

Any ideas? Is that fixed in 1.6.1?
Btw, is it true that 1.6 now knows which apps you had before flashing a new firmware? Or will I need to install everything again like with 1.5?

davyu

Renamed as SAMSUNG.tar... can't restore, the recovery log gives jibberish... help?

As someone mentioned above, I can't get past the android screen either.

tisti

Same here, gives me an incorrect checksum error

Since I am using the right file (original update renamed to samsung.tar) I don't see what could be wrong.


Edit:

Fixed it, seems my old cable was defective. -.-

Kouske

mine works just fine. 1.6.1 fixed all the call/sms issues for me.
all i did for it to work ok is:
- flash the new firmware
- wipe using old recovery
- flash the new recovery
- push the new update.zip and the firmware renamed as SAMSUNG.tar
- wipe using new recovery
- apply update.zip
- apply restore gapps

oh and before i pushed update.zip i deleted the old update file.

@mrbrdo - the first time i flashed from 1.5 to 1.6 it remembered my apps but after first reboot it forgot them.
i think it remembers the apps you had on 1.6 though.

N3maN

Yeah, its loaded on.... not sure what iv done wrong!

hoho

Had 1.6 working, haven't tried 1.6.1 yet. reverted to stock after phone and sms wasn't working.

-flashed recovery 4.6
-nandroid backup
-wipe
-adb pushed galaxo 1.6 as update.zip onto /sdcard
-adb pushed official 1.6 update as SAMSUNG.zip onto /sdcard
-run update.zip
-restore gapps
-reboot

*note if you're drag/dropping or copy/pasting the zip files through windows*
I've had problems flashing when dragging and dropping the zip files onto /sdcard through windows explorer. However when using command prompt to push through adb it works everytime.

davyu

Oh so you wipe twice? Once with the old, then once with the new?

Kouske

i wiped once after i flashed the firmware and then enabled usb debugging. then i flashed the new recovery, pushed the files onto the device and then wiped again before applying update.zip and gapps.

davyu

You mean using the stock recovery (I've never actually went into recovery in stock, so I dunno how it works haha)? Or the one in settings? Thanks.

Kouske

well the first time i flashed the firmware it didnt load so i used stock recovery to wipe (you just press the button above the call button) and then wiped again after 1.6 firmware booted.

btw note that you do push the files through adb, not through windows explorer like hoho said.

benner

i couldn't restore gapps until i realized that there was another zip file inside the downloaded zip file. the one inside was the one i had to rename. duh! now it's working.

mongofrye

Does anyone know if copy protected apps show up in the market with Galax 1.6.1?

I use roadsync for exchange email. (while we're at it, any recommendations for another email app for exchange)

I bought a galaxy and could not access copy protected apps from stock firmware or new 1.6 firmware.

wondering if galaxo will work? If not, anyone have other suggestions?

Pennywis3

Im using touchdown pro for exchange and its realy a stable & fast mail client.
Had to pay for it though.

davyu

Thanks kouske! Works like a charm, but I just realised, this one isn't themed?

Kouske

nope.. galaxo is the unthemed one. galaxhero is the themed one. but galaxo works faster i think + 1.6 is amazing! works like a charm.

davyu

Indeed, and now that I've installed minfreemanager, I can even play speedforge 3d properly for once! Before, it was SO stuttery.

buntoid

Just installed MinFreeManager, can you tell me what settings works best on the Galaxy.
Cheers

cryingfreeman

has Galaxo 1.6.1 better speed then L3 firmware?

I'm not too sure, I'm new too it myself. I was just recommended it.
Anyway, both aggressive and mild seem to make my phone work smoothly, dunno about the detailed implications on my apps though.

davyu

Hold it down, drag to the bin.

Kouske

cryingfreeman - yes its a lot faster than anything on 1.5
rellikzephyr - i dont have sleep issues with 1.6.1. in fact im having better battery time than ever!

tisti

Use the agressive setting, and set it only to Apply then play around with the phone. When you restart it, the settings will disappear. If your happy with the settings then mark them as Apply on boot.


Really niffty app, the phone is much more responsive!

InfernalH

Hey, today the "Home" button stopped working for me. Reboot didn't help. any ideas?

I'm on Galaxo 1.6.1, for two days everything was just excellent

Kouske

wow, nice one!! thanks. really works great!

CCCP20

i have problem with cmd/adb, i cant push file through adb, error-device not found

and

i cant restore Gapps
restore aborted : see/sdcard/recovery.log


Any help?

informale

copy the files to internal sd (instead of pushing them) before flashing Galaxo.

CCCP20

i did that but always the same error.

can you write me how did you do galaxo 1.6 step by step?

thank you!

informale

the same way as it described in the guide. no witchcraft here. sounds like you forgot to enable USB debug in Settings - > Applications

porga

when can we expect fully functional GalaxHero for 1.6
