29503 | Original ROM for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 | I've put a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000 and now I want to go back to my original ROM. I was wondering if there was a way to get the original ROM, that came with my device, from an official site somewhere.

27484 | How to get maps for off-line usage? | I spent almost entire day looking for decent apps for maps (decent = free, up to date, being open-source is a plus). I ended up with TrekBuddy, **GoPenS** , **RMaps** , Maverick, OruxMaps (the emphasized ones look the best, in my opinion). However, now I have another problem -- how to prepare maps for those apps (pleas... |
1317 | Is there a way to customize the services in the direct contact shortcut? | I added a contact shortcut to my home screen, and I noticed that the Messaging icon in the pop-up changed to Handcent when I changed the default messaging app on my phone.

1315 | Are there any command line SSH clients available for rooted Android phones? | I of course have ConnectBot, but I'm looking for something I can script.

23767 | Can I change the hardware button mapping with CM9 (Samsung Galaxy S2)? | I have a GS II and recently flashed to CM9 - I wanted to know if there's any way to map the hardware buttons back to the TouchWiz shortcuts - specifically the long press menu button = search (I really used that and seriously miss it). On that note - I also wanted to know if there are any TouchWiz ports of only the shor... |
23764 | How can I make ADW_EX wallpaper stick? | When I set new wallpaper, it lasts only until the next sleep. On waking, the default ADW sequence of wallpapers resumes.

27074 | Support for Ultra High Speed MicroSD cards | I am going to buy a new MicroSD card for my Motorola Milestone. The phone has Cyanogenmod 7. The upper limit as told by the manufacturer is 32GB, and because they got cheaper now, I'm going to buy the maximum possible. However, there are those new types of cards called “Ultra High Speed” which, I believe, weren't avail... |

Can this be fixed? | Whenever I am playing a radio app (Stitcher or TuneIn Radio), I find that if an alert sounds (e.g. from an incoming email), the radio app stops playing for about 30 seconds (then resumes from where it left off).
