sorry if these questions have been asked before , but im at work and not supposed to be using xda . but what they dont know wont hurt and i have not much time to search to see if answer has already been listed .

ok im getting the s2 uk version as an upgrade from the desire . i understand the bootloader is unlocked which i hope is true . what i would like to know is . does this have a recovery menu like my desire (cwm3.0.5). is there one already installed or do i have to flash it . as the internal memory wont be a problem now im taking it that specific hboot tables from alpharev are not really needed unless for example cache size needs increasing for some specific ROM OR THEME etc what needs to be done that is already not done eg do i need to root or is it rooted do i have to s-off etc anything like this that you could give info on would be great .. and once again sorry i didnt have time to look for answer just now

Yes it does have an unlocked bootloader. No, you won't have CWM unless you are rooting with any CF kernel. Rooting is easy and a must IMO.

Hello,

I’ve done reading (the more I read, the more I become blur), and I still have some question\doubt on this ‘rooting/flashing ROM’ thingy.

1. My SGS2 (PDA = I9100XWKF1, Phone = I9100DXKF1, CSC = I9100OLBKE5) with Kernel version = 2.6.35.7-I9100WKF1-CL265340root@DELL106#2

2. If I do rooting, does it change my Kernel? What is the difference between secure and unsecure kernel?

3. Let say, I ‘m flashing to a new ROM/firmware, can I still have my app?

4. I just want to have stock ROM (KG1 or latest to be install). How on earth can I do this without messing my apps?

5. Where can I get and how to recognize the stock ROM which is compatible with my PDA, Phone and especially CSC? (do flashing ROM messing the CSC?)

I hope someone can help me on this…really appreciate it!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

Got a problem, silly but still,

Was playing with Miren Browser and tried to watch a 1080P Youtube Video, as soon as I click on it there was a pop up asking with which app I wanna open it, I clicked the Stock Internet app and wrongly pressed the 'Don't ask again' option, now as usual every video I try to watch from Miren browser is automatically switching to the Stock Internet browser. There has to be a way to stop this, but don't know that, so asking for HELP, please, someone?

So far this is the weirdest and most bogus problem I've faced, some apps are closing automatically! This happened today when I tried to open the Stock Internet browser, it just closed automatically. Only XDA app was running on background. I went to Task Manager to see what's showing there, and found that the Internet app was showing in Red, sometimes its turning Yellow! What is this? Not enough RAM? Well around 500 mb was used out of 850 mb, so?

Please tell me something.

Theres your problem. You have set it to Manual. Change it to auto sync or give some duration like 15 minutes or whatever you want. If you want it to be manual, then after you delete your mail, sync again on the mobile. Once the sync is done, the mail will also get deleted on the server and you wont see it on the pc.

KG3 with 2.3.3?

Hi,

I flashed the factory firmware with ODIN (I9100XWKG3_I9100XXKE7_I9100VNZKG1_HOME.TAR). Everything went well, now phone says:

Build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKG3

Kernel version: 2.6.35-7-I9100XXKG3-CL401405

Baseband: I9100XXKE7

Android version: 2.3.3

Shouldn't the Android version be 2.3.4?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jai Bot:
where did you get the factory ROM that you flashed?

and i dont believe the factory ROMs are at 2.3.4 yet.

I had a friend help me root, with the CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4

and then installed Cognition_S2-130 but i am getting Security permissions will not allow me to use Bluetooth, or Wi-fi mobile hotspot etc.

So i need to either do a canned wipe and reinstall the cognition ROM and see if that fixes the issues, or im going to install a factory ROM, but cant seem to find a link.

can you provide the link you used?

Factory wipe & reset + flashing Cognition v1.31 fixed the issues.

for now i will stay rooted !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wkwkwk:
Ah, that figures. I got the firmware with CheckFusDownloader from their official site I assume.

Interestingly enough I seem to have the 2.3.4 features like voice/video chat in Google Talk.

Another question please. I have my phone rooted and I have the CF-Root kernel and CWM recovery.

Would I be correct in saying that if I flash the stock ROM with odin, everything will be gone? (for warranty purposes of course if that will be necessary).

Will the CWM Recovery also dissapear (Power button + Home + Volume UP) if I flash the stock kernel?

Thanks.

Edit: This is the filename of the stock ROM flashed: I9100XWKG3_I9100XXKE7_I9100VNZKG1_HOME.TAR
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jai Bot:
Yes, that was my next step if the flashing of the new Cognition ROM didnt work.

It will unroot, wipe, and get rid of absolutely everything, even the yellow triangle. it will be as if you got it out of box.

Ok im a little confused i downloaded the I9100XWKE7_I9100XXKE4_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.tar

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] AidenM:
Hello! This is my first real post on xda and I though I'd share how to get a sense ui on your nook color.

Note: This is for CM7 Only! You can try on other ROMs, but I only run CM7.

OK, let's start.

First thing is first: The Launcher.

Google LP Sense UI. The site ends in .fr (sorry, can't post links)

OK, Install that. For the real feel, buy LP Pro. Your key should work here.

Now for the Wallpaper. On the market search "sense live wallpaper" Download the pro version.

Now to customize the wallpaper. Set it and configure the theme to "sense"

Did that?

Starting to make sense? (sorry for the bad pun.)

Time for the real makeover.

This theme was made by nhnt11, I take no credit.

google this: NTSense xda

click the download button Download NTSense.apk

If your favorite color is blue:

Download NTSense-blue.apk

Got that? Install the apk, reboot, and select it in theme choser.

There you go! Is it working?

Again, I take NO credit for ANY of the stuff here. All of it was made by good ans hard-working devs.

I just put it into a guide.

Note: The wallpaper takes up RAM. Be careful.

@pndo1 thanks for telling me.

Please upload screenshots if it works for u.

Credits!

@Linky3737 for the links.

@pndo1 for being one of by best friends

@pndo1 for the screen shots

@pndo1 for helping me getting my Nook Color up and stable.

@pndo1 for telling me about LP Sense UI.

@nhnt11 for the NTSense theme.

@Koehlers for the Live Wallpaper

@Rang3r for LP Sense UI

@Me for putting together the guide.

If you helped on this project but aren't mentioned here, go ahead and PM me! I'll put it up.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pndo1:
Awesome!!!!

Hey iKingBlack! This is awesome. Also remember that the live wallpaper takes up precious RAM. The Nook Color is already not as smooth as other android devices. Also take note that the wallpaper can crash, and reapplying the Sense Wallpaper does not work. You will have to reboot.

Again,

Thanks!

If you google around, I bet you could find the LP Sense UI apk (Android app package). Also on the Market if you want to buy it is the LP Sense Widget Packs for the latest LauncherPro Plus version (0.85). They aren't the full thing with the dock, but they do skin the widgets. Also, the downloads aren't corrupted. They are just not available. Not trying to be rude, just lettin ya know! :)

this is a hero htc + romupdate to sense not possible,

Q. Are you using a custom rom or are you using sense?

If you are using a custom rom I am pretty sure that the htc sync software will no longer work.

If you using standard android 2.1 with the official hero rom I don't know why its' not working.

If you are using a custom sense rom later then android 2.1 I guess it could be that the htc hero pc software might not work on the new rom.

Am I to assume that this is for S-OFF phones only and isn't the S-ON exploit?
[HTC Incredible S] vido.ardes:
ClockworkMod is a custom recovery that allows you to create android backups, flash update zip files and wipe system partitions. You need to be S-OFF to install a custom recovery because otherwise the partition you need to write to is locked.

If you have come from a different HTC Android phone, you may have used AmonRA recovery's, this is very similar except it comes with an app you can use whilst in Android to manage your recovery and backups much easier.

This is good news as we now have official support and all the features should be working, where as the two ports gloating about both had problems.

Hope that clears everything up
