Hi guys

Has anyone noticed that when searching for a contact (T9 search) in samsung stock dialer, the search function it only lists the first number for a contact if they have more than 1 applied to their card. Problem is you can't view other numbers, it just immediately starts dialing that one number instead if you try to select it ( there is no way to select and see the other numbers)

I have contact with 3-4 numbers so its annoying me. I know there is Dialer One, Go contacts etc but none of them have the clean interface the stock dialer has :(.
[Galaxy S II General] sixstring:
If you click the contact photo it shows all the numbers.

At least my one does....
[Galaxy S II General] Eclypz:
I'd hate to bring up an old thread, but I used the magical search button and found this thread.

I have this problem, too, and it's really annoying.

Pressing the contact photo doesn't bring up the rest of the numbers for me.

If it helps, my contacts are synced via my google account, and I have a feeling this doesn't happen for contacts locally stored on the phone.

Does anybody have a solution for this?

I'm currently using a different dialer, but I'd prefer to stick to Samsung's dialer if possible.

Hi there. Im pretty new to Android, but im guessing the answer to this question would be yes. Im also guessing that this would require rooting the SGS2?

Thanks

If you really want Sense that bad, maybe you should go with the HTC Sensation..? It's just as good as the SGS2 (Spec wise)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tusharverma:
i am about to buy a new phone and am stuck on this very question

is the s2 going to get a sense ROM???

the original galaxy s still doesnt have a fully functional sense ROM

I have to purchase my phone within the week and the sensation will not be available before mid june
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
Sure it's possible but I'd imagine it would be a fair bit of work. Hopefully once this phone hits more markets we'll get a few more devs to work on projects like these :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryhole:
I'm not sure why you'd purchase a GSII if you want Sense. To answer your question, the only way to KNOW the GSII is going to get the ROM is to make it yourself. None of us on here can tell you it will happen, or won't happen, with any certainty. It seems extremely unlikely to me though, as most seem to either be satisfied with TouchWiz 4.0 or are interested in something more AOSP-y.

Why can't you wait an extra week or 2 for the Sensation? That seems a much better option for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] r_a_c:
You can make the phone look like sense... With launcher pro plus and a sense mod you can find on this forum. Launcher pro plus has the same look for the widgets, like friendstream.

The sense mod had the sense themes, the dock and so on...

With widgetlocker you can get the sense lockscreen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treybonew:
Do you happen to have the link for the Sense mod? I searched, but I can't seem to find it.

I always thought that XDA-Dev is about doing such things, just because you can, not because you need it. :p

It is, but some people seem to forget that. They also can't think beyond two feet in front of them either, so you will have to remember that when you listen to/read what others have to say.

Whats all the fuzz about sense.. i dont see why would i want it? Nothing special tho :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryhole:
I'm not doubting that. But remember how much work it is to port something like Sense, and that work needs to be coupled with a desire to do it by someone with a lot of talent. The SGSII may get a stable Sense port, it's entirely possible. But look at the progress made on the original SGS. Last time I looked it was alpha stuff that really wasn't all there yet, and that device has been out a year now. No one should be making any kind of decision on the SGSII with the hope that Sense will be ported.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treybonew:
True, but one can always ask right? Or if you have the tools and knowledge, you can chip in and help to find a solution if it exists. I didn't buy my SGSII in hopes of getting a sense port, but wondering if it was possible shouldn't get me or anyone else flamed for asking either.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryhole:
You're not getting flamed. There's just an inordinate number of threads asking about Sense on the GSII, and the answer is pretty easy. It's definitely possible, why wouldn't it be, when it's one Android build to another? The real question to answer is...is how difficult will it be and is it likely to happen. I gave you my opinion. If you disagree or don't like it that's fine, it's just my opinion :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Treybonew:
Thank you.

I'm glad you presented it as your opinion, and you're right in that I can agree or disagree with it. But you aren't the type of person I was referring to. I can respect anyone that presents their case in a clear and concise manner, but I have no respect for people that do nothing but interject with nothing pertinent to add to the discussion. All they do is spout off their opinion like it's gospel and you should agree with them, and if you don't, then you're an idiot.

Hi!

Any chance you make a version for Nexus S (Gingerbread also...) ?

I've tried this with a laptop ad hoc network, my device finds it on the WIFI networks but can't connect to it.

I'm getting my AR.Drone in a couple of days so I'd love to know it's going to actually work :)

Hi

I don`t have a Nexus S , but I am almost sure this method MUST work on all android devices, just do exactly as I say and you should be OK.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnelson76:
I see other threads, but didn't find a concrete answer. I recently got a BT deck and I currently have CM7 on my evo. When I stream over a2dp there is a "tin" noise on the high notes no matter if I'm using Pandora or just playing MP3's straight from device. I see it on other threads described as "high pitched metallic noises". I can jack in by aux and play the same songs and they sound wonderful.

So really my question is think it is the ROM or just A2DP being normal?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jnelson76:
Nevermind.. don't buy a clarion z500. I tried two different devices and same issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Yes, the BT stack that HTC uses does indeed suck. CM7 uses a much better stack. Though my impression is that A2DP at its best still isn't that great. I don't have a really good A2DP device anyway, so I'm not sure how close it comes to wired when it's working well, at least for my picky ears.

Tools needed :

My KIT for SMALI files (using options for each step )

Notepad++( Hexadecimal editor for *.xml )

_______________ Power Menu modded ______________

​

Open my zip kit ( recomended in a Theming Folder for example with apkmanager and all files you would like to mod )

What you get :

Baksmali

Baksmali ( executable Jar File )

Command.exe ( Shell file )

Notepad text with the two commands for decompile and compile already made for you ( just copy and paste into command.exe )

Smali

Smali ( executable Jar File )

1.Pull out android.policy.jar ( located in /framework from the rom you are running.

2.Place it in the file where you unzip my Smali kit.

Example : C:\SMALI\android.policy.jar

3. You need to decompile android.policy.jar :

Open the cmd ready for you in the kit and paste

java -jar baksmali.jar -x android.policy.jar -o classout

(classout folder can be renamed to whatever you want, doesnt matter until you dont forget to change the name too in the second command)

4. Make the modifications you want for smali files, in this case : Open Global.Actions.smali with Notepad++

located in \\classout\com\android\internal\policy\impl\

5. CTRL+F to search the line "settitle"

Just over it, you should see a line looking like

const v2, 0x1040120

change to :

const v2, 0x1040017

6. Compile again android.policy.jar :

Open the cmd ready for you in the kit and paste

java -Xmx512M -jar smali.jar classout -o classes.dex

7. Copy and paste the file

classes.dex

into android.policy.jar _ you will overwrite the old "classes.dex"

8. Replace your modded android.policy.jar and flash it _ Enjoy your new Power Menu :D

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shambala69:
So I am sure many know by now that wireless tethering is being blocked from The Market which opposes Google's statement of Android being "open". Now I am reading that Google is using the issue of "compatibility" to put the kibosh on third party apps that might take away business from Google apps (i.e. Skyhook).

I am tired of these companies saying one thing and doing another but what can we do?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dirk:
Wireless tethering being blocked is down to the carriers, not Google. As for the rest, Android is Googles baby so i'm not suprised that they want the end user to have the best possible experience. That's how people stay in business. Look what happens when companies forget about their customer base. (Sony).

I only wish that Google would be more restrictive so that manufacturers were stopped from polluting Android with their Bloat.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Guilden_NL:
But Dirk, on one hand it appears that you're fine with carriers driving Android but not manufacturers. maldelovio makes the point that Google touts Android as "open" yet Google ends up being the carriers' "female dog."

I agree with him. Google needs to pull their finger out and start driving the direction of Android. If carriers don't like it, they don't have to allow it, and customers will go elsewhere. I left AT&T after 12 years to go to T-Mobile because AT&T was in love with The Evil One of Cupertino and ignored Android. I'd do the same with any carrier.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Shambala69:
Exactly Guilden_NL...what carrier in their right mind would drop Android devices just because Google would not remove wireless tethering from their market??!! Now Google is using the veil of "compatibility" to remove competition. Monopolistic???
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] EleCtrOx666:
Well I guess you'll be happy to hear Google just did that.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WiW:
American wireless carriers take bandwidth seriously. Either they're not very good at managing it, or they have a hard time covering so much area. Either way, a tethering app can be devastating to their wireless experience. As if customers don't hate them enough.

Its easier to piss off carriers than OEMs - I can imagine a very uncomfortable situation for Google if AT&T or Verizon or even T-Mo would press the breaks or ease on the gas for Android.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] randomblame:
I only wish they'd put out some freakin honeycomb source 3.0/3.1 I don't care too much. Before they put any effort into improving honeycomb with the 3.1 version they should have taken care of their compatibility excuse for not releasing source. I understand their reasoning but I think now that they have a time frame out there for manufacturers to count on ice cream sandwich they should just release the source of honeycomb for us. Even those crazy Chinese kirf manufacturers wouldn't put honeycomb on a phone with ice cream sandwich coming out in a few months. They need to make good on their open source promises before usb host functionality and widget resizing for a certain Motorola tablet...
[General Questions and Answers] bucksDev:
Hi all,

we are trying to build our own kernel for a Samsung Galaxy S (I9000XWJVB).

What we did so far:

- Download the correct sources from "opensource.samsung.com"

- Studied the README

- Installed cross-compiler toolchain

- Created ".config" as described in README

- Kernel compiled

Compilation worked fine -> zImage was available (but with only 2mb very)

OK, looks like initramfs is missing.

The first question is now, where to get / how to create a correct initramfs?

We copied the initramfs from Leshak and we extracted an ".cpio" from a working zImage.

Then we tried to use them in the ".config" (CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE) for kernel compilation.

Resultant zImage was larger (around 6mb) so it looks like something changed.

But once we installed the tared zImage on the phone (using Odin), the phone freezes during reboot.

Any advice how to progress here?

Is it possible to use Leshaks initramfs for all Galaxy S phones? Or is this only for a specific version? The CONFIG_INITRAMFS_SOURCE should point to the "initrd.arm.initramfs_list", correct? And not to the initramfs-folder?

And: Is there a way to get any type of kernel boot debugging message from the booting phone back to the PC (or the phone screen)?

Many thanks in advance!

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvore:
My first ever post so please excuse any break in netiquette.

Since installing the latest build of Froyo for Topaz from this thread I've pretty much only used Android and not WM6.5.

Is there a ROM available, or currently in the works, that will reduce the system resources that WM6.5 is using in the background or increase the efficiency of Froyo being run 'on top' of Windows Mobile?

Or is it simply that Windows Mobile is already as small and as lightweight as it can possibly be, while still keeping as much functionality in an Android dual boot?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
You can flash a "light" 6.5 ROM.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordvore:
Ah ok, I'd taken 'light' to refer to the features provided as extras with the ROM.

I don't suppose anyone has tried running Android on a standard Topaz/Touch Diamond2 Windows Mobile ROM and compared to a light ROM?

After going on a massive App install fest I seem to have slowed down loading times in Froyo considerably. Even after moving Apps to the SD card it doesn't seem to effect the amount of available internal phone memory. Possibly because all the program files for Android apps are already on the SD. Still getting my head around the dual-boot file system. 45MB of phone memory seems a bit critical?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bruce Inman:
Light generally means most non essential apps have been removed, freeing up more memory.

You could probably read over in the Andriod development forum to see if anyone is running the same configuration.

Take a backup on your SD card and wipe the phone.

If that doesn't resolve your issue you can do a: fastboot oem lock, and then a: fastboot oem unlock, and then root it again.

Ok, here's the issue.

I've deleted bloatware apps, including both clocks since i didnt need them and force moved all my apps to sd.

I have 2 problems:

1) After removing them screen was clean but i cant place anything in their places

Here's what happened

I had the clock there but when i try to place something else there i can't.

2) After moving all apps to sd, widgetlocker and system info widget was removed from the places i added them, plus when i restart my phone widgetlocker doesnt autostart. [This one fixed already, i moved it back and voila]

Have you noticed increased battery drain or reduction in speed with all of that SD card read/write activity since moving them?
[Xperia Arc General] Retrosid:
No, since i moved all my apps to sd, it wasnt a big deal for these 3 apps to consume battery. The speed is just fine for my class 6 16GB micro SDHC card.

The battery life is obviously better after moving all of them on my card. Im on 4mAh right now, i guess its fine
