ok thanks, what should i flash then, or how can i update to 2.2 or 2.3 without loosing files and apps ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashramz:
Man you should not try to flash things when you don't understand them.

For this moment you tried to flash a kernel that is for a gingerbread rom (JVB, android 2.3.3) on your Eclair 2.1. Don't you think you should read a bit more before flashing everything on your phone? :)

Go to the official rom thread and follow the guides to flash a gingerbread(2.3.3) or Froyo(2.2) rom
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fliptechnologies:
Ok ill put this as plain and as simple as i can

1. I am new to flashing

2. I asked how to do it, as after all this is a q&a section

3. I feel my questions hvae not been answered correctley

so i shall explain again and this time links may help

1. I want a kernal that will give me recovery options

2. I do not want to loose anything on the phone

3. I want to upgrade to 2.3

so i would like links please or someone who can take the time to write a quicvk step list telling me what to do.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranwej:
Hello, as we know, Galaxy S1 was advertised with 512MB ram, but in real there was only ~340MB of usable RAM! So i want to ask, how much ram is usable for applications and how much is free after fresh boot? Can someone check this? You can see this informations in task manager.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XDA mark:
I think its about 800-850 RAM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shanakin:
The original SGS had 512mb of ram as advertised. For some reason people assume that their phone behaves different than their computer. The operating system and everything like that needs to use the ram as well.

AS stated though I understand the SGS2 to have approximately 850MB of ram free after running the OS etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kickassdave:
If I continually hit advanced task killer it will give me about 445MB free. In the standard task manager it says /833MB.

I don't really think this is all too relevant. You will never have anywhere near the maximum amount available just as you won't in a modern PC either and with phone OS's getting more power hungry and complex this is unlikely to change.

If the amount of ram bothers you check the video of the guy doing heavy multitasking on the phone and that will clear your mind.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranwej:
Thank you for usefull information. I'm just interested in real numbers, because HTC phones have all advertised ram available to system, instead of samsung, which is cheating about this. Yes the OS is using ram... but from 833MB, not from 1gig. How can system use ram which is not visible to system? :) Android is linux, you can easily see how much ram is available and usable for system... it's 833 not 1gig. I believe that there is 1GB ram chip, but some memory is dedicated to other components. However 833 MB is really enough for mobile phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
It did have 512MB of ram in hardware, but a pretty big part of the 512mb was actually dedicated video memory for 3d and movies. The Galaxy Tab 7" which was advertised with 512MB actually had ~600MB of ram in hardware, with extra ram outside the 512MB being for the dedicated video.

With the SGS2 it seems to be as the original SGS with dedicated video ram being taken out of the 1GB. It's easy enough to check by looking at the kernel config files. (And you can even tweak the numbers a bit to get a bit more free ram, as was done in the SGS)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Hope we're not heading down the old line of trying to run with loads of free RAM... I'm of the philosophy that if you have the RAM available, you should use it, rather than have to load things up from storage due to removing it to make a number bigger on a task manager...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaBlo:
Htc does/did this as well. My Legend is advertised with 384mb ram, but only 290 is available to the system.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaBlo:
Your philosophy is absolutely correct. In Windows that might be a good thing, because it starts buffering to the HD when you run out. But Android will just close some background processes automatically to clear ram as needed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Intratech:
Unfortunately people these days only know about ram management from that poor excuse of an OS called Windows.... excluding 7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyanZA:
Agreed, as long as there is a big line between FREE RAM and TOTAL RAM. More total RAM is always a very very good thing regardless of how good the ram management is.

This thread is about total RAM available to Linux/Android, so it's good imho.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
**So I uninstalled and reinstalled RE and now I can change permissions... In fact, some of the icons are different. Don't know if I had update issues or what, but I don't care. This thread is a moot point now, thanks anyways and if a mod comes across this, feel free to delete it.**

Ok, so here is my issue. I'm trying to remove the data throttling per this post

When I get into root explorer, there are certain folders that allow me to, but others that won't. I have SU granted and still nothing. I attempted using SSH and still can't change the permissions. I'm sure there are other ways, but it's beyond my current experience and was wondering if anyone could help or point me in the right direction. Below are some screenshots, the 1st showing what has SU permissions, the 2nd the opening screen of root explorer showing as being granted and the 3rd show the one thing I've noticed on all the folders that won't allow me to change permissions. If you look in the upper right hand corner, a file destination is listed "/dev/block/mmcblk0p1" yet, when I look in /dev/block/ it offers no visible files.

Anyways, any help is appreciated, I did search but couldn't find anything posted and I want to know why my phone is the one G2x that is resisting!?!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] badkclark:
bump

Experiencing the same issue with a coworker trying to chmod permissions on build.prop file.

Phone rooted and verified by Root Checker. Have Terminal Emulator, etc.

No matter what, can't change permissions or edit files.

(Trying to get Netflix to work on G2x). Following the guide, but it won't work if we can't edit the build.prop.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] RhynosAndroid:
My problem was caused by my version of Root Explorer. Turns out, I had DL a counterfeit one. At the time, I didn't want to pay for it so I searched for it and found it free... Well, found a cheap imitator.

Meh, call it karma, call it getting what you pay for. I uninstalled it and bought the *AUTHENTIC* Root Explorer [after trying to use SSHDroid in conjunction w/WinSCP and other methods] and voila! Like magic, r/w appears!

I've also used RE in attempts to change my build.prop to run Netflix, but to no avail... Well, for the app itself that is, changed the build.prop flawlessly. When I start the app, the screen fades to black for a second, then brings me right back to where I started [typically the app drawer] doesn't even give me the chance to log in.

Honestly, RE is completely worth the purchase price. I tried MANY different avenues, none of which would allow me to remount to r/w in the /system file [or several others] whereas RE doesn't skip a beat in smashing down those walls. If you're like me, and pretty much everyone here at XDA, you will get your money's worth out of this program w/all the access you're given.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] badkclark:
Finally got my own G2x now.

I've rooted it.

Installed CWM.

I downloaded Terminal Emulator.

Gone in to try and chmod permissions to edit files like build.prop.

Get the error that it's a read-only file system.

What do I have to do to be able to edit these bad boys? If I'm using SU in Terminal Emulator (which has root access) why can't I change permissions?

Has anyone found a hack to disable the geotagging? Disabling GPS does NOT prevent it from tagging. It automatically enables it while the camera is up.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayzooos:
I don't know if it's because I'm on a custom ROM, but none of my photos have any location on them. I never have GPS on unless I'm using it for navigation. So this would lead me to believe that disabling GPS most certainly does disable geotagging...

Were you on wifi when these photos were taken? That might have something to do with it as well, but again, none of my photos have any location on them.

When looking at a picture in the gallery, choose menu from the lower right, then more, and then choose details. It will say right in there about location and latitude and longitude.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BhRaElEfD:
I just checked my camera pics and none of them have any location data.

Go to Settings->Location and Security and look under "My Location". Make sure both "Use Wireless Networks" and "Use GPS satellites" are unchecked. Restart your phone, take a pic and check to see if location data was recorded.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hayzooos:
Both of mine are unchecked as well. I'm not sure what to tell the OP and the other guy. I do know there is an app called "GeoEraser" or something like that which will remove the geotagging on photos if it's already present. Not sure if there is a batch operation you can do, but if you can't figure it out, it's probably worth a shot.

In your browser, connect to your phone by typing in your phones IP address followed by :8080 and you will connect to the phone portal which will allow you to manage your phone wirelessly.

Use IE 7 or Firefox 3 if possible as they are the most compatible with the software.

I have been using PhoneExplorer.. its free from the market. It will sync Outlook if you need that, it lets you run your texts in chat windows, and it syncs files and pictures as well as lets you upload and download to the phone. It supports wifi, bluetooth, and usb connections.

When I tried PhonePortal, I couldn't get to my files... I might have to try it again.

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JowBe:
I am a complete noob when it comes to Android, having first got my G-Tab yesterday. I'll give some background before I get to my question.

Yesterday, I sideloaded a couple of apps by essentially copyng them over to the root directory on the G Tab. But, like most others, I found the stock OS very slow and unresponsive. So I installed CyanogenMod 7 as per some simplified directions that I found. Everything went fine. That's not the problem.

My problem is that I cannot sideload anymore. When I plug in my G-Tab through the USB, I hear the Windows two thumps, and nothing happens. I look to see if my tablet is showing up in the Winders Explorer, and it just shows a bunch of memory sticks that when I click on them, I can't access. Also, nothing is showing up on the tablet either (no dialog boxes like under the stock OS, nothing). This is a big problem for me since I don't have access to WIFI at the moment.

Does anyone know how I can make my computer and tablet see each other? If you tell me to do something, please tell me where to find it. For example, on another thread, someone advised someone else to turn on USB debugging for something, but I can't find any option for USB debugging in Cyanogenmod 7 under settings. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
