"What you will need to do:

Use Root Explorer, Android Commander, Droid Explorer or what ever else is out there to replace the recovery binary in /system/bin with the one attached. This will allow you to flash the update.zip from stock recovery.

After the file is replaced reboot the phone.

Put the update.zip on your external SD, boot into recovery and choose the 2nd Option to flash update.zip from SD.

This will boot you into CWM."

Lets assume that you cant change ROM on this phone. Would you still buy it if you have to stick with TouchWiz and the rest of Samsung's software? Or to put it like this: how good is software on this phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drm111:
I really like touchwiz tbh, I've read some touchwiz hate and I'm really not sure why, it's quite nice. Almost as good as sense IMO. I've only a few niggles with touchwiz. But yeah if I couldn't change it (which i probably wont) i'd still get the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PartyMango:
I would agree, especially considering that changing the launcher (to ADW Launcher EX in my case) and keyboard (Gingerbread) are only a few market downloads away. I really despise the TouchWiz Launcher - and rest of the TouchWiz software is okay or easily supplanted as well.

I will probably switch to a "pure" Android ROM in the future, but even if none shows up - I'll be fine as I am now, with some Market-downloads, not even rooted.

I would definitively buy this phone again, coming from a Nexus One I really love the speed and form factor. TouchWiz won't stand in your way if you don't want it to.

Hi !

I have a few stupid questions about LeeDroid V3.0.6-R2

1) After applying zip align patch (alignment-ext3.zip) - do I need to reboot phone after, and then flash LeeDrOiD_V3.0.6-R2_GB_Bravo_A2SD.zip, or just flash them one after another?

2) Do I need to re-apply zip align patch (alignment-ext3.zip) between upgrades of different versions of LeeDrOiD?

3) Is AdHoc WiFi patch present in LeeDrOiD?

4) This annoying WiFi disconnect issue (even with latest at this moment radio 5.17.05.23) - is there any "solutions" apart these "fixers" which don't seem to help.

Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeXcalibur:
You maybe don't even need the patch. I upgraded yesterday from 2.4.1, made a 512 mb partition with ROM Manager, and flashed V3.0.6-R2

Just in case of experiencing problems you should flash the patch.

3) Sorry don't know

4) I have no WiFi disconnect issue, try radio 5.17.05.08

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawtie004:
Hello everyone

I am new to the Android world and loving it! I've been wanting to get a Android phone for some time, and took the plunge last week and purchased a Nexus S through Rogers in Canada - Model I9020A Build GR154.

This phone is amazing stock, but naturally I want to experiment with custom ROM's and get all the functionality and performance tweaks I can.

I apologize for the newb questions, but if someone could enlighten me on what they think some of the best custom roms compatible with my device are, and their personal experience with said roms. My main "wants" in a rom are. Sound improvements (voodoo), video chat on gtalk, greater battery longevity. CM7, Amethyst Nexus 2.2, and Infinity 1.1.0 all interest me. Anyone on GR154 using any of these roms? I'm not clear if any of said roms will work properly on my device.

Again I apologize for the newb questions, any help, advice, recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spradling:
I'm running 2.3.3 (CM 7.0.3) with netarchy kernel and stock modem (KB2) on my I9020A and it's been great!

Since there isn't much info on I9020As I didn't have the balls to try 2.3.4 or KB3 or the modem after that.

Does anybody know if 2.3.4 roms are working on I9020As? I thought they didn't work but the post above implies otherwise...

And the new modems? Do they run ok with 850mhz?

Cheers! :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MKVFTW:
The new modem that comes with 2.3.4 causes the infamous search button behaviour. Other than that the 2.3.4 flash is pretty stable on the 9020a
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bourque66:
Equally new to all of this, with the exact same phone and build.

Where would I find a root and flash tutorial thats up to date and easy as hell? Lol
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmcquake:
The tutorial I found the most straightforward and helpful was created by theunlockr.com here:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/12/17/how-to-root-the-samsung-nexus-s/

The only thing to note is that you can ignore section "VI. Stop the Phone from Uninstalling the Custom Recovery Image". Once you flash Clockworkmod Recovery it stays on the I9020a. The "install-recovery.sh" file does not exist on the I9020a. As far as I know this is unique to the I9020a, but I could be wrong.

I am far from an expert, but I hope this helps!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmcquake:
Agreed. I have been running stock rooted 2.3.4 since it became available and I haven't experienced any issues at all, even Google Talk Video has been working flawlessly over wifi (haven't tried GTalk on 3G yet).

I haven't experienced any unusual search button behaviour either, but I hardly use it.
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
I have been running CM7 off of my SD card for several weeks now, and it has been working very smoothly -- virtually no problems.

Today I installed the updated Barnes & Noble Nook app. It worked fine the first couple of times, but now every time I try to launch it I get the message:

"The application has stopped unexpectedly, please try again."

Then I am given the option to force close or report. The problem is that this is now happening with the majority of my apps. They are refusing to open. When I try to use any of my browsers, they open and shut in the blink of an eye.

The only two apps that appear to be working OK are Market and YouTube.

I tried rebooting, but that didn't fix anything.

Also, my Nook is showing a very low wifi signal, while at the same time my iPod Touch shows a strong signal.

Anybody have any ideas on how I can clear this all up? Is there any troubleshooting app I can run? Thanks.

Update: Market doesn't work now either. I can open it up, but it crashes when I try to download anything.
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
Dunno if it would cause this... but did you recently modify your build.prop file to install Netflix? If so, restore the original file, reboot, and see if it helps.
[Nook Color General] RageAgain:
It could be oxidation on the microSD card connectors...

I have been messing around with Android on SD for some time, and I don't know what kind of microSD you are using but some of mine require periodic cleaning of the card edge connectors.

Just yesterday, one card I had started with the FCs and crashes and after cleaning the edge connectors it is working fine again.

I dunno, but that is what works for me...
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
Thanks for your suggestion. I took the card out and cleaned the contacts, but everything is still acting flaky. I tried to uninstall the nook app, which is the last thing I installed before everything started going haywire, but it force closes and won't let me uninstall it.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to wipe my sd card clean and reinstall CM7 all over again if somebody can't come up with a solution.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I have the market Nook app installed here on the 2.6.32 Beta 3.1, no problems..
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
Yeah, I really don't think it's the nook app that's causing all these problems, but what is? CM7 was working beautifully with no problems until today. Now, everything is force closing on me. :(
[Nook Color General] robot8:
Probably somewhere down the line, corrupted SD card. Not all CM7/SD card installs play well, especially if you're using a Class 6/10 card as they have piss poor random small block writes. Read this thread:

I was having a problem with a lot of force closes as well and it ended up being the SD card. Started off with a Transcend Class 6. Force closes all the time. Then tried a Sandisk Class 4. Runs smooth. The difference was night and day.
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
That's exactly what I'm using -- a Transcend Class 6. I will have to buy a Sandisk Class 4. Thanks for the tip!
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
I'll have to give that a try. Thanks.
[Nook Color General] cameraz:
How could this be?

I have two Transcend 8GB Class 6 SD cards. On one of them I have froyo, on the other is CM7.

Yesterday, the CM7 card started going wacky, locking up or force closing practically every application I tried. I rebooted, but that didn't help.

Well, I turned my Nook off, took out the CM7 card and popped in the froyo card. I then powered up. Now the froyo card is acting the same way as the CM7 card did.

How could this be? Is this just a coincidence, or is something internally in the Nook causing this? I mean, before yesterday, both cards were working fine, and then one day they both go bad? Hmmmmm? :confused:
[Nook Color General] RageAgain:
I at one point actually got something inside my microSD card slot, but I didn't know it until it got on my microSD card and came out...

Maybe the connectors inside your Nook need cleaning...

I am gonna scrape up some change and buy a 4GB CL4 card from the 'shack' and see how CM7 likes it...

On a side note, does anyone have a life expectancy for microSD cards that have Android run off of them?
[Nook Color General] Ronin3178:
Not to knock the SD, but not goto eMMC, then you wouldn't have to worry about bad SD card connections. There are plenty ways to go back to stock. I could see using SD for a beta test, of course that's just my opinion.

**I'm sorry if this has been covered already. I did a quick search and didn't find anything in the other "3.1 update" posts.

Got my HoneyComb 3.1 OTA update yesterday evening. The only detail that I was looking forward to (or even knew about in the update) was the new usage of the MicroSD card slot.

I hurried to grab a MicroSD card to check out the new memory-expansion capabilities. To my surprise, it did NOT work.

In doing some minor searching, it appears that the 3.1 update did NOT come with the support for the SD cards.

WHY?

No, it did not come with the update. Stock Xooms do not yet have working SD card slots.

Micro SD support is not included in the 3.1 update. You will have to root with one of the methods in the Development section.

If I root, are there ROMS that have SD support? Or will simply rooting the Xoom enable the SD slot?

for root your Xoom wifi-only and when it will be done install the last Tiamat kernel from here

[HD2 Android Themes and Apps] vijaysapkota:
Hello xda,

Do you hate hd2's original sticking together screen? or are you annoyed seeing that screen daily?

but not anymore. It's time to give your phone a new look. so here I've created a new splashscreen for t-mobile hd2.

Tested on US modal hd2, not sure for european one. but as far as i know, either it works or it gives a error while flashing.

Normally it's safe to do this, and this wont touch the NAND partation so your roms will still be there after you flash this.. But to be 100% sure, always keep a backup.

well, even if i've said its safe, I don't take any guarantee for it. so as always do it at your own risk.

How to flash?

- download the zip below

-Put your phone in bootloader mode (vol down + power on)

-connect your phone to PC

- extract the zip you've downloaded and run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe.

-wait 30 seconds to see the new screen. :)

Is there any way to import bookmarks from a desktop browser (any really, I'll work out the conversion) or from an html/xml file into the standard browser on the SGS2 (Internet app) in a way the retains folder structure? All of the methods I've tried (e.g., MyBookmarks, GMarks, importing into Dolphin browser and then exporting) at best manage to put the bookmarks into "Most visited" as a flat list. Kies can create bookmarks but, as far as I can tell, only one at a time, and there's no way to create folders. The app itself can create folders but there doesn't seem to be a way to import bookmarks. Any ideas?

Work around i used on SGS 1 was to save bookmarks on PC as html .

Copy that to a folder on SD card open that html bookmark file load the relevant site and then bookmark it in the phone .

Navigate to Tunny Browser file open open bookmarks and paste in bookmarks from PC .

Very interested in everyone's comments and experience on this thread as I'm a browser addict and the good rendering speed was a big part of the reason why I bought an SGS2.

I tried Chrome to phone, Dolphin Bookmark Sync and Firefox Sync plugin all to no avail. It's not that they don't work, it's just that CtP will just create an app with no true integration with your mobile browser, Dolphin doesn't support subfolders and neither does FF.

In fact, the 'best' solution I found was to *gasp* switch from Chrome to Opera on my two desktops, enable OperaSync and now I can use opera mobile on android with all the bookmarks synced between the 3 devices.

Interestingly, Opera is also the only mobile browser to support ALL of the following: 'open in background tab' type click, proper UA spoofing and subfolders in bookmarks, and sync of course.

I can't wait for the next release of Android to come out - hopefully they will make a 'chrome-like' something the default browser and enable a sync over the cloud.

What do you guys think?
