[i9000] Flashing CyanogenMod for Beginners

-
UPDATE (2011-11-27): After flashed to CyanogenMod and tested for a few days, I think that CyanogenMod is GREAT, i9000 users should just flash to it since Samsung firmware support for i9000 isn't that great, and slow. :)


The guide can be found from wiki.cyanogenmod.com. But its not complete with all the downloadables, there are few missing steps.

1. Installing the ClockworkMod Recovery

Prerequisites:
Before you begin, follow Step 1 & Step 2 from CyanogenMod to get the drivers installed.

Downloadables & Installation Guide



2. Root your Phone

There are few options to root your phone.

I used CF-Root and it worked.

Just a small note, if Odin cannot detect the phone, you can always reinstall the driver by running Kies device troubleshoot.


3. Flashing CyanogenMod

Finally, follow the Flashing CyanogenMod - Method via Recovery guide to flash to CyanogenMod.

Small note, you might get into "bootloop", but no worries, its simple to restore by following this guide.





Hope that helps the CyanogenMod beginners (like me) to get started.

[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...
