[General Questions and Answers] jkc120:
I went out and bought a 16GB class 10 microSD card to put into my HTC Incredible, mostly for the speed increase over the slow 4G card I used to have in this phone.

Realizing I had a lot of space to play with, I started moving apps (that could move) to the SD card.

I am running CM7 nighties, but I believe this question is for anyone using app2sd.

The problem I ran into was my backups are incomplete. In a situation where all the apps are in /data/app, something like nandroid or doing a backup from Rom Manager or directly from Clockworkmod gets everything. So you can literally backup and get back to EXACTLY the same state you were in when you backed up.

However, when you have apps on the sd card, this backup/restore no longer works 100%, since the process does not backup the sd card apps or the settings/pointer to the sd card apps.

It's fairly easy to recreate this problem:

1. install CM7 or any ROM/kernel with app2sd support

2. move some app (doesn't matter which) to the sd card

3. create a backup

Now when you restore this backup, the app you installed in step 2. will be gone. At least when I've done it. I thought what was happening to me was the "auto restore" feature was wiping my settings and reverting to some old backup from my time running the stock sense ROM, but I think in reality what happened was:

- the restore "worked" in the sense that it restored /system, /data, etc

- however, my launcher app (launchpad pro) was on the sd card, so I booted into a half-broken ADW launcher home screen with my old ADW settings I had abandoned a while ago

- apps I had installed to the sd card didn't show up, so I had to reinstall them to the sd card or install to internal memory then move them to the sd card

So my question is - how can I do a proper FULL backup while using app2sd? I want the same behavior where I can simply create a backup and be able to restore it to get back to the identical state I was in when I created the backup. Are there any backup apps out there that know about the app2sd /mnt/asec that can back it up properly so this will work?

If there's no way to do this, I think anyone who is serious about having a good single image snapshot would avoid app2sd like the plague since it makes restoring you phone a WAY more time consuming process (have to re-download/re-install all apps, then move them to the sd card again, etc).

Appreciate any insight or BKMs people may have here. Thanks in advance!

Hello I have an xperia play and bought some games on Gameloft. So just wandering if it's possible to transfer the same games to use on my galaxy, or I have to purchase the games again.? Also its not very clear which games actually work on the galaxy, the game hub only has a phew games that cannot be it surely.?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EViL3666:
I'm probably not qualified to answer this, but I'll give it a stab - assuming you brought them through the Android Market, they're associated with your Google account and you can install them on other devices without having to re-purchase them.

Simply add your Google account to the new phone, go to the "My Apps" page and you find them in your list of Purchased but not installed software.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
Gameloft are greedy. The games are imei locked and device specific. So you need to wait for sgs2 compatible games, and repurchase them afaik :(

I don't approve of their business model, so I simply don't buy or use Gameloft games. They could put games on market, but they would only sell it once per person...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvi0:
I think it's that greed that forces piracy to prosper honestly I don't support piracy but imagine i already paid over 25 £ to Gameloft and they now want me to pay another 25£ imagine. No wander why the iphone itunes model is much better and android is way to fragmented.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffahn:
I wouldn't necessarily blame this on android fragmentation..

I'd point the finger more towards the greedy companies, like gameloft, for making their games in such a way that it encourages "fragmentation".

I mean half the arguments against Android are actually based on the companies that provide apps and software, not the android platform itself...

Just my two cents.

Back on topic:

But you gotta admit, gameloft games are pretty damn good.. if not a bit overpriced due to the incompatibility issues..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shocky2:
If you e-mail them they will usually just send you the correct version for your new phone, their customer service is usually pretty good, I've never had to buy the same game again for another device, at least not yet.

There are no versions available via the website and GT-i9100 is not listed yet, you can currently only get them via the Games Hub and some of them look like cut down versions of the games, blocky textures and poor draw distance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrestes:
Hi

I bought over 15 gameloft games for my Galaxy S1. I have got now S2 and NONE of those I bought work ( I always save original donwloaded .apk) I emailed gameloft saying as well I can't even access their site as I'm getting NOT RECOGNIZED warning so as soon as I got update I will post it here.

J.K.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shocky2:
It uses a different GPU to the Galaxy S so it's not likely to work, they will have to release versions for the Galaxy S2, once they do they will probably send you the updated apks if you tell them you changed your phone.

It's a shame Samsung didn't choose to go with the latest PowerVR GPU as that would have made things allot easier, Mali 400MP in the Galaxy S2 does not support some texture compression formats some developers are using so that will also cause problems.

Of course if they just stuck to the OpenGL ES 2.0 specs to start with we wouldn't have this problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkrestes:
Hi and thanks a lot for explanation. It is real shame and I hope this amazing phone won't be suffering of too many uncompatible games as that would damaged it's great potential. It is fast like a wind and I can't wait for some polished custom roms like last Darky's 10.6 by which I was really impressed on my Galaxy 1 :)

Hi All,

I just for the SGS II the other day and have some questions.

A few questions for the experts..

1. Can you change the widget that it comes with in the notification area? Meaning is there an option to add flight mode etc? I know I can get widgets after market but the one Samsung bundles is quite good.

2. Gmail icon, for me it doesnt have the number of emails notification. Anyone else have this? If so can you recommend another gmail icon that will notify and take me to the gmail app?

3. I also tried the Wifi Unlock (App from Market), but every time it goes to sleep I still get the enter the pin to get in. What am I doing wrong? The whole idea was not to type the pin when at home with wifi on?

Hi,

As the upper sticky states : If your thread can be phrased as a question, it belongs in Galaxy S II Q&A

It's really the best way to share useful information. I bet you can understand that, 'cause if you had read all the threads, you would've found some of the info you're looking for; except that everyone that wants answers creates a thread... If we centralize all useful info and questions in one thread, it's easier to find it. Wouldn't you agree ?

I might have figured out a way to get the LG camera to work. When attempting to launch the LG Camera on this EB1.0.3 build logcat immediately points to system/framework/RES_cappuccino.apk is not a directory or valid path. I will attempt to deodex both the 2.2 framework and 2.3 and see the difference. Anyone willing to help .

Edit: Im currently looking at both frameworks. The Camera from LG is done by Arcsoft.

edit: libamce.so is needed. I pushed this and then it said library missing so i pushed nvmmmcamera.so and then a NV6Camera_ConnectZ was thrown as the exception...

any help greatly appreciated.

Major Update (7/11): LG Camera may work on Gingerbread. I decompiled the libamce.so and found some interesting stuff. I am currently flashing the GB Leak to test the Camera. will Post results.

UPDATE: 7/6/2011

Here is the latest error on 2.3.4

Progress: The LG Camera depends on libamce.so which is not part of the android open source project and is not in the LGP-999 source code. The libamce is also dependent on a native android library, if any dev wants to help please chime in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
I already replied to you in the previous thread but anyways that file your talking about is part of LG's framework that is not present in some roms as we took it out. Even when you put it back the camera will not function :(

Don't give up though I am sure some way to get it working.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
did u see this?

edit: libamce.so is needed. I pushed this and then it said library missing so i pushed nvmmmcamera.so and then a NV6Camera_ConnectZ was thrown as the exception...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
I pushed all the camera libs and crashed each time. Keep going though as I am not trying to discourage you as I hope you do get it :)

Be warned though I did get a blackscreen after pushing all the libs. It would show LG logo then go straight to black screen so I had to cwm it :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
sorry i am answering in both threads but how do we find what libs and apk is dependent on? one wierd thing i noticed is that afrer 2 reboots the original GB camera came back.

which camera is in the leaked Gingerbread version?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
A ****ty one.

It compresses 8mp photos to just about 1 mb = about 75% or more compression (were 4-5 mb in froyo camera). No real HD video (720 - 1080 p).

Hard to believe LG would scrap the better camera on a final update.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jdaclutch:
Corret, lot of the times, I got 6-7mb in froyo camera. I only shoot video on 720p though(smoother).
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gaww:
Yeah - don't really want to give that one up.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Spoo76:
I have to agree, Ive never liked this camera. I didn't expect to lose the LG when i flashed eaglesblood 1.0.3

In the mean time is anything better in the market? something with decent options & pictures but quick and easy to use?

Ive never used any from the market but it seems there are many to choose from. would rather not download them all haha
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blitz911:
It definitely was a dealbreaker for me. I too loved the lg camera and being able to record in HD was a big thing for me..went back to stock rom from eagleblood GB just for that. I hope you can find a way to get the camera working to its full potential in GB.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] allofusjw:
Maybe a possible avenue to explore would be enomother's work when he ported the htc sense camera into his aosp nexus 1 froyo rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
I really doubt the gingerbread leak is gonna be the official update that gets pushed out by tmobile. They are not gonna give everybody a camera app that takes away one of the main selling points of the device (HD recording) and also just look at the 4g icon, it's still the one from froyo.

Im 99.9% certain this was just a test build by tmobile and lg to see how gingerbread would work on the g2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tweezit:
I agree with this statement from looking through the rom.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DarknessTM:
I do believe your right...theres way to much issues with this Rom..alot of key features missing...ie HD recording....lets give it a few more days..( or weeks :S) i dont think LG will drop the ball on this one...this device is toooooooo awesome to be left behind so early...(its got a good few months left on it)...i dont think we've even seen 100% of the true performance this thing can dish out.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] aim1126:
I don't believe is getting left behind. Actually seeing a gbread leak within only a few weeks of the phone releasing is a great sign that Tmobile and LG want to get this out as soon as they can.

Gbread is not even optimized for dual core phones. Once ice cream sandwich finds its way into our phones then were really gonna be blown away :)

Now back on topic. Hows the progress in the camera coming along? :D
[T-Mobile LG G2x] flak0:
I checked this in the Camera application after decompiling it and there was nothing pointing to libs there. In the logcat it was asking for libamce.so and nvmmcamera.so I pushed both then it was looking for NV6_Camera_Connect_ something .. as far as I got.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Plus one on all this effort I'm sure lots of us would be extremely thankful

Ok guys I need some help from the Dev's. I am willing to upload the framework for 2.2 and 2.3.3 to see what changes are needed to make the Cam work. I have used apktool on both and decompiled. Please let me know if you can help.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] scooter247:
This is not going to be the final update there are way to many bugs with this build. Just looking though all my game and I noticed that the ones using the accelerometer do not work right. Thought it may be something messed up during install but have tried several times and its the same result. There may be a way to fix this but just by installing witch a ota update would do this build would not work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Rusty!:
The accelerometer is messed up in the stock O2X ROM and CM7, so I wouldn't base your theory on that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] scooter247:
The accelerometer is a basic function of this phone they will not put out a update that leaves this not working properly. This is a early build of the update which means that not all the framework or drivers are implemented in this build. I have seen updates in the past that the camera app was modified from the original app but they were in all sense an upgrade to the previous version, this is more so a default camera app without lg's modification to it.

The two roms you have mentioned are not working on the same framework and do not have the same drivers as the stock g2x rom has. Just because the o2x is made by LG does not mean they are the same framework as the g2x. The o2x has a LG over lay and works off a different framework. The cm7 rom is based off of the 2.3.4 source code available from Google source. He has added in the proper framework but is trying to get the more basic things like data running smoothly running before going to thing like accelerometer.

no worries if theres nothing like it but it would be alot quicker and easier.

Hi guys,

I have been using Magic Call by Mobiion to make calls through my office's pbx central. The program works well BUT it doesn't allow to select at runtime whether to make a call through the central or not.

So, every time I don't need to pass through the central I have to "exit" Magicall first then make the call, then eventually restart the program in case I need it again.

Is there any software that, after selected the contact/number, allows to choose which mode to use < normal call or through the software > ?

ROM Manager should make your life a little easier.

Install ROM Manager, start it up, make sure that you RTFM.

To save yourself from making unrecoverable mistakes, search the forum for "nandroid backup" and do one before you start messing about with updating your ROM. You might want to investigate Titanium Backup so that your installed programs and data can be reloaded after a wipe.
