[Samsung I9000] Remove Singtel startup animation

-
Was looking around for Froyo update for Samsung Galaxy S and stumbled upon this guide to remove Singtel startup animation at xda-developers, by changing the Sales Code of your CSC (Customer Specific Customization) version of your phone.

Update: Thanks to Peng Sian for emailing me regarding the changes for changing CSC.

For Android 2.2 Froyo:
  1. Make sure you've your data (files, sms, contacts, etc.) properly backed up.
  2. Open dialer and press *#06#.
  3. Record down the 15 digit IMEI number.
  4. Open dialer and press *#272*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX# (XXXX is your IMEI).
  5. Select XSP and click on the "Install" button.
  6. Your phone will reboot & do a wipe on itself.
  7. Enjoy your Galaxy S without SingTel's customizations.

For Android 2.1 Eclair.
  1. Make sure you've your data (files, sms, contacts, etc.) properly backed up.
  2. Open dialer and press *#272*HHMM# (HHMM refers to the time on your device in 24hrs format when you entered this code).
  3. Select XSP and click on the "Install" button.
  4. Your phone will reboot & do a wipe on itself.
  5. Enjoy your Galaxy S without SingTel's customizations.

Advantages for doing changing to XSP:
  • Phone will automatically configure itself to the right APN settings, when you insert SIM-card from other operator, e.g. Celcom, Digi, Starhub...
  • Using SIN, will set the phone to Singtel customization and APN settings.

The available Sales Code for SEA Galaxy S (CSC I9000OLBJG4, which is a multi-CSC):
  • CCM
  • DGI - Digi
  • GLB
  • MIS
  • MM1
  • SIN - Singtel
  • SMA
  • THL
  • UMB
  • XEV
  • XME
  • XSE
  • XSO - Singtel (reference)
  • XSP
  • XTC
  • XTE
  • XXV


FAQ:
Q: I key *#272*HHMM# and press call, this came out: "(USSD Code Running) UNKNOWN APPLICATION".
A: You do NOT need to press call. Your phone time has changed when you press the last "#" button. Try again ;)

IF the problem still persist, try this (for advanced users):
  1. Put your phone is debugging mode: Settings -> Applications -> Development -> USB debugging
  2. In Command Prompt, enter "adb shell". (You must have android-sdk installed and configured).
  3. Then enter this command:
    am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.Preconfig/com.android.Preconfig.Preconfig
Q: What is CSC?
A: The CSC (short for Customer Specific Customization). This includes connection data for the broadband networks as well as apps that are only available in certain languages/intended for a specific area.
Q: How do I check which CSC (major) Sales Code you should use?
A:
  • Open dialer and type: *2767*4387264636#
  • The second line will read: Sales Code: GT-I9000HK?xxx
  • The last three character is your CSC (major) Sales Code. (For me, mine is  GT-I9000HKAXSO)
Q: How do I check PDA, Phone, CSC?
A:
  • Open dialer and type: *#1234#
  • You will see something like this:
    PDA: I9000DXJG4
    PHONE: I9000DXJG4
    CSC: I9000OLBJG4

[Azure Websites PHP] Cross Domain request results in blank response page after Preflight HTTP OPTIONS

THE PROBLEM I've deployed a REST API application ( CodeIgniter with Phil Sturgeon's Rest-Server library ) on Azure Websites. Although I've set the Access-Control-* header in my PHP application: header('Access-Control-Allow-Credentials: true'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Methods: GET, POST, DELETE, OPTIONS'); header('Access-Control-Allow-Headers: Origin, X-Requested-With, Content-Type, Accept'); (If you need a working test file, here's the gist for the test file) But Azure Websites server doesn't return the headers in response. And thus all requests to the server failed with the error message: Origin http://example.azurewebsites.net is not allowed by Access-Control-Allow-Origin.   In order to make sure there's no problem with my application, I've deployed the same code to Appfog.com . And as expected, the application works just fine. The same application d...

[Magento] Create Contact Form with Dynamic Recipient

-
There are many ways of creating contact forms to email to multiple recipient. I'm going to describe a way that uses Javascript a the frontend to change the target recipient. Advantage of this method: Easy to add in new emails in the future. Disadvantage of this method: For those who are particularly concern email privacy, you might not want to use this method. You can modify the email checking to the backend (controller) instead. Okay enough talking, lets get started. Step 1: Set up HTML form fields I'm going to use an example of drop down select to change the email. Of course, this is fairly easy to modify with other forms as well. Open up app/design/frontend/default/<theme>/template/contacts/contacts.phtml Insert the following snippets anywhere between the <form>...</form> tag. <select name="interest" id="interest" title="<?php echo Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Please select department t...
