[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimi4:
You need to mount your system patition as r/w.

Before pasting the modified framework-res.apk, click on the "mount r/w" button at the top of the Root Explorer window. Then you'll be able to overwrite it.

Don't forget to click the button again (which is now "mount r/o") to remount the system partition as read only again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stian230:
Using root eksplorer to push framework.apk is a good way to get the boot loops, so remember to check that the new framewourk.apk it is the same version you are running.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimi4:
Right, it is actually very recommended to make this check even when using ADB or ODIN to push a new framework-res.apk version. I got myself into many bootloops skipping this test when I had my first Android phone :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kulawend:
Hi, I've been looking for a way to keep apps open/running in the background so that even if I switch to another application the backgrounded app is still running as it would if it were in the foreground. A good example of this is Backgrounder for iOS, except I require the functionality in android. I've tested a few multi-tasking apps but have found none so far that actually include this feature and it seems like it ought to be possible.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aitorTheRed:
I'm not sure if this is possible, as it goes against the activity lifecycle on android.

For "background activities" try implementing a service
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Kulawend:
That's disappointing, but thanks for your reply.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dexter_prog:
how can I do this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aitorTheRed:
http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/fundamentals/services.html

and some sample code

http://developer.android.com/resources/samples/ApiDemos/src/com/example/android/apis/app/index.html

Just scroll down to where it says "Service".

Hope it helps!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dexter_prog:
Yeah, I came across those sites when I googled before, but I can't quite understand how to do that as I am not a programmer. It doesn't sound like a very hard task. I mean, it would be just modifying the Manifest.xml inside the .apk, right? My goal is to keep a replacement launcher, contact app, dialer and messages app running all the time.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] gabrielgon:
Hello guys, you can use app settings, the xposed module to keep certain apps from closing. I don't have it installed right now but the option is something like "resident" as far as I remember.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th30n34nd0nl7:
Hey guys

I'm really ****ed. I just tried to flash the JVO stock firmware via odin. Before I was running on Darkys 10.1 Resurrection rom.

Odin just worked normally, I booted into DL-mode, checked Repartition and inserted all the JVO files from Samfirmware using .512pit. Odin finished and gave me the "Pass!" message, then i waited for my phone to reboot but nothing happened. No vibration, no lights, no anything. I can neither get into recovery nor download mode anymore. I tried different things, taking out the battery, connecting USB in several combinations, but still nothing happens...

Can anybody help me or is there just no hope left?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Try to take the battery out for 10 mins and try download mode again,
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th30n34nd0nl7:
Thanks I will try that. Did it work before?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
it has for some people but it all depends on the seriousness of the flash,

some people have corrupted the bootloaders leaving the phone completely dead :(

some have managed to get their SGS to rise from the dead... i dont know what category yours comes under :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th30n34nd0nl7:
seems as if it didnt work... should i try contacting the samsung support?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
does the phone show any sign of life ??

does anything light up ? does the charging screen come on when charger is connected ?

if nothing happens then samsung will be your last resort.

BUT act dumb, act like you dont know **** about phones, and try your best to blame it on kies, do not mention the words froyo or gingerbread or odin. you might be ok :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Th30n34nd0nl7:
no it does not show any sign, just nothing... just a black brick anymore

i'm gonna try to contact samsung, thank you for your help!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
easy peasy, You mount the system RW, you navigate to the folder / files you want to backup, long press it until a menu pops up, select copy, navigate to your sd card paste it all there.

then move it all to your PC if you want.

simples :P

[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
It has been acknowledged by many that Reverse USB Tethering is an essential feature missing in the Android OS, atleast natively. Several processes have been attempted but none of them is sure-shot and certainly not noob friendly.

However, while browsing through random sites i came across

[URL="http://www.codeproject.com/kb/android/usbportforwarding.aspx?fid=1625023&df=90&mpp=10&sort=Position&tid=3900438"]THIS LINK[/URL]

which "seemed" to be an easy solution. I did attempt it but was unsuccessful. I expect the advanced users to have a bit more insight into this and they would like to post their views after attempting it

P.S. - Please remember that we are talking only about

sharing a PC internet connection via USB to an Android mobile

aka REVERSE USB TETHERING so please do not mix this with "Conventional" USB Tethering
[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
Yeah it is pointless you can easily use wifi
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
..the point of this is to get your computer's internet connection to your mobile, It's very useful for people who haven't got wifi at home or a packet data plan..
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
Visualise this -

Someone has a old desktop PC at work or home which doesnt have a wi-fi card. What it does have is a hi-speed unlimited LAN connection. On the other hand he only has a G3 with no 3G or Wi-fi access. Only a barely sustainable 2G data connection.

Now u see the usefulness of this project ? Not everyone is lucky enough to have a wi-fi hotspot near them or create an ad-hoc wifi with the above configutation
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Downloading applications for your phone can be pretty tricky without any internet connection, or it can be pretty expensive if you have to pay for the data you receive. Whilist you can find some apk's from the net, you need to have access to market to get the more 'unknown' apps that no-one has uploaded to the web.

I myself was looking for a solution like this for a long time, but then I bought myself a 256kb\s data plan which costs 5€\month
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
Yeah, like I said, some apps are in the web, but rarely those not-so-popular ones. That's why market is essential, and this reverse usb-tethering a perfect solution for some users..
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
To expand on Thom47's views suppose i have to update Google Maps, can you imagine the time it would take over a conventional 2G network where data connection keeps dropping often ? You could argue that updated Google Maps app can be downloaded and pushed to phone for replacing the outdated version. But in this case Google Maps was just an example.

And where i live, Wireless Routers cost atleast $20 or more (not sure about the exchange rate). Kinda pointless to install one if its needed only for a phone. Considering that i already have access to a decent LAN a USB cable seems to be the most viable option...
[Galaxy 3 General] mcd_legend:
just get any cheap wifi router

netgears is cheap and works fine

u can always use ur PC even w/o te wifi card in it by a cable

wifi is much more better and freedom u will gain plenty of other options like SSH file sharing etc which u wont have in reverse tethering

u would be only saving 1200-1300 Rs (INR) by that which if u buy saving ur pocket money will pay u back sooner than later

i had similar problem earlier now i wonder why to turn on the PC :P
[Galaxy 3 General] dpthakar:
Hi,

If you can use linux, this can be done easily.

http://www.linuxreaders.com/2011/03/android-access-internet-from-computer-via-usb.html
[Galaxy 3 General] Tianhe:
As usual, u miss my point.....

AFAIK, its not decreed anywhere that u have to use your cell only when u r sitting next to a PC. I could update the files / programs and use it elsewhere too. Do you know the size of Swype beta full language file ? Have u ever tried to download it via 2G ? Regarding the consideration of buying a cheaper phone we can also tie a string to two empty match boxes for communication and that would be much cheaper. Unfortunately it wouldnt serve my purpose. I just wanted a way to update my apps / programs quickly once a day or week so that I could use them later. Its not like I wanna use my cell to download stock ROMs or even larger files. There are other numerous examples I could give but it isnt gonna change either of our viewpoints.

@dpthakar - thank you for your suggestion. Did know bout the linux solution but its supposed to run only on Win 7. I prefer my Win XP PC but I will probably have to run it in VM if all else fails.
[Galaxy 3 General] pflorin:
clarkov some people needs it because you can update your android apps and surf the android market using that shared pc connetion.

what else dohhh !!!!!!

and btw instead of writing pointless replies on this thread .. all those writing it should stop .. and let the other figure out a way to do this reverse connection.
[Galaxy 3 General] cadusir:
Dear clarkkov

Are you a control freak?

you don't like Reverse USB Tethering on G3?

It's OK with us please go and read some other post in this big big forum!

Dear friend when people are saying that they need this, it just means they need it.

And I have to remind you that Reverse USB Tethering on G3 doesn't require your agreement!

If it's possible, it will be done.

Good Luck
[Galaxy 3 General] cadusir:
The same as you have with "Reverse USB Tethering "!

I do!

You said it's pointless. believe me your opinion is OK with me.

you said what you think so let the people decide what they want or they don't.

:rolleyes:

You can't prove that but Ok I would say that you're right and it's on purpose disabled.

You didn't get the concept of this topic?

If it wasn't disabled there was no need to start this topic!

Why it's not supported is not of our concern!

And I have to remind you that it's already done!

OK with us, any problem with you?
[Galaxy 3 General] Thom47:
We're wanting to use reverse USB tethering here, and we've proved our point and usefulness of this many times, so that there should be no question whether It's good or not, yet you still can't accept it and have to tell how It's pointless and how we must get a wifi router. Right.
[Galaxy 3 General] gaurang.ghanekar:
I second that !

Even I have an unlimited broadband plan for my system and i dont have a wifi router so would like to share it with my mobile!

Got any working ideas?

[Galaxy 3 General] dilzo:
You didn't develop anything in the first place and you're ignoring the fact the reverse USB tethering is useful, if you don't have a router. Also how is he falsely accusing you when you said yourself that you're leaving. He just wants justification of a false statement. Nuff said leave

Can someone tell me if the 512.pit file is generic?

Willl the one that has been used on the Galaxy S 1900 work with the Nexus S GT-I9020.

The .pit file I have is named: s1_odin_20100512.pit

This Is very important as it may help a couple hundred people restore there IMEI numbers and un-brick there phones.

If not can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can get the correct .pit file for the Nexus S GT-I9020 - 3G

I was looking to trade for a Nexus S and got offered one with this issue and another one that installed the earlier build of this ROM. Did this issue occur with earlier versions of that NexusSense ROM or just build 0.3?

Have any of you guys tried to get in contact with Samsung to see if a warranty would work in that case?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] NexusCrazy:
Do you think it's do-able ??

This apk looks promising and it installs OK, but doesn't resolve it. It has all the rite commands but it was written for the Galaxy S. Could it not be adapted for the Nexus S ??

Gallaxy unlock tool .apk, with built in signal problems tool = erase efs, restore original IMEI and product code, make bin file.

Just what we need but for the Nexus S.

Hi all,

Here in the Netherlands the KE7 firmware is still not available. KIES keeps saying that KE2 is the most recent firmware.

I presume Samsung has some kind of release schedule, a planning of when and where KE7 will be released. Has this information been published somewhere?

All other relevant information about KE7 is welcome to, of course!

Thanks,

[Galaxy S II General] JonasHoumaa:

We also only have KE2 in DK!! :confused:

Guess the American's gets the crap first, and then they fixes the bugs..

When the bugs are fixed we get the god stuff in europe afterwards!! :)

You could just load the KE7 firmware onto your phone with Odin ;)

Just be glad you dont have a swedish 3 branded one, its on KE1.

your provider isn't involved unless you have a branded phone, I don't think there are branded phones in Holland yet, vodafone doesn't brand anymore. It still sucks that we still didn´t get KE7, whereas the UK and Italy have it and Poland has KE4

It does not support anything that CM 7.0.3 already support. Phiremod is NOTHING but a CM7 theme; nothing at all special. People will be much better off using the newer nightlies (which are using the newer .32 kernel).
[Nook Color General] RChadwick:
The latest nightlies support iptables? I thought only Dalingren's OC kernel had iptables support (that I could find). Phiremod 6.3 says it has an OC kernel, but doesn't say which one. Does the nightly have an OC kernel, or one with iptables support?

any ideas?
[Nook Color General] dsf3g:
Phiremod is sort of the autonooter of CM7s. It's a finished, easily flashable distribution that includes some nice tweaks and extras all in one package and you can count on pretty much everything working. It's for guys who don't want to bother with going from nightly to nightly.

At least that's how I look at it.
