[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymop:
My dad has a fascinate, rooted. I used ODIN to flash Clockwork, it's successful but when I go to boot into recovery I get Manual Mode. I go to 'apply update.zip' and i get an error saying 'signature verification failed' or something of the sorts.

What Do?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckevinwelch:
Did you install an alternate kernel before rebooting into the OS? If not, the stock kernel will remove CWM.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeymop:
No, do I install the alternate kernel in Manual mode? or in ODIN?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckevinwelch:
It's been a while since I did it, but I believe you do it in CWM. This thread discusses it to some degree.

Hope this helps ...
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenz:
First, put your kernel on your SD card. Second, Odin CWM. Third, boot directly into Recovery (hold volume up, down and power until you get the Samsung screen). Fourth, choose zip from SD card, find the kernel you downloaded, install it. Fifth, reboot. Sixth, profit :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avellanita:
Hi all

I got my Galaxy 2 this last week and wanted to know a couple of things about firmware, updates...

1.- Kies is not great... Is there any alternative? Can I update my SG2 with another software?

2.- Where can I check the latest versions of the firmware?

3.- Kies is giving me the amazing "This version of the device cannot be updated"... My phone comes straight from Samsung, so I guess I have the Samsung official ROM. Also is not rooted (for now)

Thank you all :-)

P.S. I also got the pink crap in the lens :P anyone having this got it out with any firmware? I'll try to create an action for Photoshop to remove it. Let's see if my 2D skills can help the community with this path.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
1) you can use odin to flash. Follow thr guide in the dev forum from intratech

Which leads to 2) latest firmware available in the same post
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avellanita:
Wow, quick reply, thanks tjjensen23 :-)

I heard about Odin but never tried it... I guess this is the right time!

Cheers!

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] akanatrix:
Does anyone else think that Microsoft will kill Skype on Android? Or possibly pull away most of the resources allocated to it? Have not seen any progress on the app from Skype in a long time. The leaked one works, but a bit buggy for my tastes.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] Deltaechoe:
This really isn't a theme thread, and to answer your question, I doubt microsoft is going to take it away. Instead they are probably going to make it a paid service
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] joshnichols189:
The title of this forum is themes and apps.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] dlongb13:
They load android phones with Bing so why not skype
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yareally:
Skype is already a paid service. You dont think they just offer it out of the goodness of their hearts, do you? lol

You're just not using it as a paid service (making phone calls to land lines or receiving). Mostly it appeals to small businesses or international callers.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] ryocoon:
To be honest, at this point I would pay a one-time app purchase fee for a functioning, well-supported version of Skype that can use both front and rear cameras for video calls. Maybe even multi-party conference calls.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yareally:
A lot of people probably would. I dont think Microsoft buying Skype can hurt. I mean Skype is like the "idiot savant of the software world." They only do one thing right, their voice algorithms (in terms of quality). Their front end software and what keeps calls connected all sucks (don't forget about them sticking crappy addons in skype that force install on firefox against your will that crashed the browser).

Microsoft might be Microsoft, but at least they can develop better than most other proprietary software corporations. They also won't ignore a potential market for cash (Android, iphone). Look at how much they paid verizon just to get bing stuck on phones in place of google search. They would never abandon android when there's a chance to try to take away some market share from google voice.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] qumahlin:
No. They won't be killing Skype on Android,nor will they be raising prices

Their acquisition of Skype has a lot to do with their relationship in Facebook. People forget MS owns roughly 2% of Facebook and is looking to get more. In the not too distant future you'll see their joint announcement of Skype replacing Facebook chat
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] jeremyreger:
haha.. spoken like a true expert. I may tend to agree with you @qumahlin but you are talking like it is good as gold.
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] tekhna:
Can you say anti-trust if they did that
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] yutsoku:
They will not kill of skype on Android. Remember what happened when they tried to say other OS's (apple) couldn't use internet explorer? I think they'd have a lawsuit on their hands.
[Android Apps and Games] HyprGeek:
Released a new word game.

Waiting for feedback....:)

[Android Apps and Games] HyprGeek:
Update v1.3

[Android Apps and Games] k4p741nkrunch:
Looks like my kind of game!

I'm definitely going to try this out.
[Android Apps and Games] spa2k:
Installing now, looks good. Will give it a go and give feedback.
[Android Apps and Games] HyprGeek:
Eagerly Waiting for feedback...:)
[Android Apps and Games] silentronin:
cool game bro. really enjoying it.
[Android Apps and Games] k4p741nkrunch:
Wow, it's pretty difficult. Got LAPPAL to start and it's been driving me nuts!

I think you could work on a better icon for the app, perhaps a more consistent design for the app overall. I noticed that when you start a game it requires you to press 'next' to start. Perhaps you could replace this with 'Start' and make it shift to 'Next' after the game starts.

Also, most importantly, when you hit back a couple times it displays your little 'Looks like someone is a quitter' addition, but then fails to actually quit. Makes it seem like this is a malicious app designed to stay in the background and eat your battery. I recommend you make this a priority.

Otherwise, it's got some potential!
[Android Apps and Games] cushcalc:
Possible errors, or, intentional?

Love this kind of game.

Found 2 possible errors so far: 1) "sprout" not accepted but "stupor" was (both can be made from same set of letters). 2) "bursty" accepted as a word. I know it is used, but it is not an accepted word in dictionaries I've referenced.

Also, "poster" not accepted when "presto" is. And "roasts" not accepted but "assort" is. If this is an intentional part of the game, then it needs to say "ok that fits but it's not the word I'm thinking of" or something like that.

More: "remain" and "marine" not accepted, but "airmen" is.

Animations could be quicker too, IMHO - having to wait for letters to go up into the sky.
[Android Apps and Games] jjohns63:
My feedback:

The shuffle button takes <i>forever</i> to reset so that I can press it again. Perhaps this is by design, but the time is extremely slow.

Shuffle should also do reset so that it takes all the letters out of the already entered ones.

Clicking a letter that has already been selected (moved to top row) should cancel that letter, at least for the last letter in the word.

Besides those few complaints, the game is really good and I look forward to spending more time with it.

<i>Edit:</i>

Just noticed this, when looking at the definition hint, time is still taken away but the timer is not animated and when you resume the game, the timer will jump to something much lower.
[Android Apps and Games] HyprGeek:
Thanks a lot :) Will get the classic mode finished asap! :D

Hey thanks, yeah maybe ill replace the next button with start.

About the back button, if u hit back in the quit screen, you'll go back to the main menu. Need to select one of the faces :) maybe i'll change the design to make them look like buttons

yeah, there can be multiple words, I'll just change to add a message if the word is correct but not the required one, anyways, you can check the meaning by tapping on the moon in standard as well as timed mode, so you know what the required word means.

and about 'bursty', it is a word in oxford dictionary ;)

plus you dont need to wait for the letter to "go up in the sky" :P:)...just touch them all as fast as u can and press submit :D

anyways guess I'll also speed up the animations a bit....Thanks for the feedback :D

hehe, yeah the shuffle button is designed like that, so that u dont get the correct word by constantly shuffling ;), maybe i'll reduce the time by 1 sec :)

yeah, it used to reset earlier, but i disabled it, that's what reset button is for ;)

I've already added the removal of single letters in the next update.

Yeah, the timer keeps counting down, but doesnt show animation, due to implementation of android's dialogbox, where background app animations are deactivated. ill look into that later.

Thanks again people, for checking out the app and for all of your feedback :D

[G2 and Desire Z General] teh5abiking:
Well, this is quite the pickle.

So. . . long story short I had a G2, I used VISIONary to root it, couldn't do it got bricked, and received a new one via warranty and one month later, my data connection is slower than a slug.

When I got my warranty replacement, it was just as fast as the first one I got.

Before I was able to get over 3 - 7 mbps down and .50 - 1.4 mbps up.

Now I'm lucky if I can break the 100 kbps barrier.

Here's my current speedtest results:

DOWN: 57 kbps

UP: 97 kbps

And these results certainly do show in everyday usage.

It takes an application that's TWO F**KING MEGABYTES (ROM Manager btw) five minutes to download (In the past it took literally half a second for it to download and install), websites that loaded in 10 seconds flat now take fifteen minutes, and so on.

If it's of any help, I did unroot my phone using the method on the xda wiki.

Does my radio firmware have anything to do with it? Is there a network-wide problem of sorts? What can I do to regain my semi-blazing fast speeds back because this is just f**king ridiculous.

The kicker is that I'm in an excellent service area according to T-Mobile USA's coverage map.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Printerscape:
Regardless of which ROM I use (tried LeeDroid, Inspired Ace, MDJ ViVO), camera always seems to lag.

It lags, no matter what resolution I use (from the smallest, all the way upto 720p). It stutters every couple of seconds, and it's not just the "rendering", as during playback it lags like it does during filming.

Why is this?

I'm using the default microSD card.
[HTC Inspire 4G] darth_leviathan:
I also have the same issue i rooted using ace hack kit and installed sense 3.5 custom rom. when i hit the record button it starts recording for 1 sec and the phone shuts off

known Issue

In order to start a wifi call make sure you are close to your router, then you can walk away.

(If you go into WiFi settings, advanced settings, and check Best WiFi Performance, WiFi calling connects easier.)

Opening the keyboard will cause an orange led to turn on. To fix it,touch the notification bar.

If your gps fails to lock, flash this, wipe_efs.zip

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] MrFrankfromCM:
Great ROM siul! thanks for the beta test...gonna flash this one now! :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] seisolieb:
PERFECT!

The best rom i tried.

:):):):):):):)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Either this Rom has exceptional battery life or the graphic in the status bar isn't showing the proper battery percent. It was at 78% when I took it off the charger 15 min ago and have been using it non stop for that 15 min and it still says 78%. Will continue using and see what happens. Anyone else notice? Other than that, this Rom is superb.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Saruman:
Been trying it for a couple of hours and liking it! Have been switching roms quite often but this is the best 'Sense'-rom for me so far.

Only 2 questions:

1. have setup my exchange-account and it shows my mail and contacts fine. However, it does not show the appointments of my Exchange-calendar, although I have been able to select the Exchange-calendar.

2. I am using the Mail-app and made a shortcut in the Launcher-Pro dock. In LP it's possible to show the dock-notifications for the number of mail only for Gmail. Is it possible to show the original Sense notification for missed/unread mails for the Mail-app. Don't know if it is described properly but in a Sense-rom it's the green circle with number of missed-mail:)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Elegy:
woah ive been liking your senseless sense ROMS! this one is themed really nice and it has the sense 3.0 lockscreen/incoming call screen.

it is possible to get the sense 3.0 lockscreen with shortcuts ?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
sure you can , flash this http://android.saraev.ca/download/Sense3/Kingdom_Lockscreen-0.17.zip , i dint include it because its huge(i wanted to keep the roms original size) and its memory hungry. and well you lose the cool themed lockscreen
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Elegy:
thanks for providing the link, but you're right. its big, bulky and hungry :D

the more i play with this rom, the more i like the lockscreen and the whole theming that is going on. and lets be honest, with this speed.. who needs shortcuts anyway. it might save you 1 second of time :D

thanks for another awesome rom man!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
haha no problem man, im glad you like it, i have to say the rom look pretty friken awesome XD.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
170mb free for me. That is after startup with all my crap running.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] malloy0:
Sounds like you should develop your own ROM. This way you could support yourself and / or complain when you don't.

Momma always said --you have nothing nice to say, do not say it.

Please consider this in any future postings. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petarpLab:
i knew this one was coming (and the next one) - the usual slippery passive-aggressive stuff - "they do it free, they do it in their free time, use another rom if you don't like it, bla bla"

first of all, i devote quite a lot of my free time to the community too, although not on a place that has 'thanks' buttons, user tags, fame etc.

second, i feel responsible for everything i do and i quite often outdo myself to achieve what has to be achieved.

third, i do it for absolutely free - no donations or stuff. period!

I expect the same from everyone else who's involved in the community - responsibility and devotion.

So, if you come to me with a phone problem i will never let you down and will never give you the lame stuff you just gave me.

Devs should get their **** together and come back to earth.

---------- Post added at 10:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:36 AM ----------

oh, and i almost forgot:

I cleaned the rom from ciq for myself weeks ago. My plead to siulmagic is for the others, not for me.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
I do alot of community work too. but I mean its the same mindset. You can't volunteer ALL the time. Who knows, maybe siul's on vacation? Can't really blame him for wanting to take a break, the guy's done alot for us and I'm sure he's busy off of xda as well. And seriously dude, please respect the devs ._. Even if they don't offer support for their work, its not exactly easy to dev. Especially if they're doing it for free, I mean that's time, blood, sweat and tears that they're practically giving away. If you found a fix, then post it instead of arguing with me, seeing as how siul may not be back for a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petarpLab:
damn, is it so hard to actually understand what i'm writing here? See posts 92, 129, 140 dating back to june and july in this thread - the lack of answer disproves you. I also looked for help at irc where i detailed the problem and provided logcat and received silence.

as for a fix: i don't encourage random people posting their stuff on a dev thread - it's bad for the dev and for the rom. i consider myself one of the randoms here, so that rule applies to me too.

the fact that i use the rom from months and care about it should be enough to remove any doubt directed towards my appreciation.

what i ask for is responsible behavior - if you give something to the public you should support it.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] ohshootrawr:
I understand what you're saying, what I mean to say is that i think you're out of place saying how a dev should run his thread. And as for the fix, if you know what you're doing and you've been using the rom for months without issue, I don't see how it would be bad for the rom. But if that's what you believe, then that's fine.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Siuls stopped dev'ing for the G2 because his brother has his G2
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] petarpLab:
where did i say/show i intent to give advices on thread management?

anyways, it's up to siulmagic now - no need of more arguing.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] s09227:

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] siulmagic:
my bro got the sgs2, so i got my g2 back, i might/maybe do something for the g2 when i get back to puerto rico.

btw im gonna need suggestions, there so many new roms since i left. any ways thanks those of you that still stand up for me. i appreciate that.

Just saying... a touchwiz rom port would super cool!! If not, there's the insanity II rom. It's suuuper light and looks awesome. I'm a big fan of all your roms and have flash (I think) all of them. Great developer, great product. Thanks for dev'ing!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] da-pharoah:
So it doesn't look like it, but any update on this????
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] =JKT=:
Totally forgot how awesome this rom is. Gonna rock this as my DD for a while!

It would be cool if siul could whip up an up an update based on 1.6, but this is pretty perfect as is.

Edit: orange led bug is the only one that comes to mind.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Palingenesis:
Loooooove this rom. Would love an update even more. I love the theme also! Would be nice to have screenshot in the power button menu.
