Thanks...

..for the quick replies and tips, however on the last part when I open Keis and plug phone back in it shows connecting but just remains there ....been about 4-5 minutes so far. Any idea how long or should i try something else ?

Thanks :confused:
[Galaxy S II General] steve16:
Sorted..

thanks again, now up and running on Keis. Just need to make a decision if to root or not as I would like to have KE7 running and its not on Keis yet !! :)

[Galaxy S II General] zen123:
If you're on anything lower than KE7, when you start KIES it should offer the upgrade for you automatically.

I was on VillainRom 1.2 but had to revert back to stock KE2 last night due to boot loop. As soon as I connected to KIES it said that a KE7 firmware was available.
[Galaxy S II General] steve16:
KE7...

Afraid being on O2 does not give me the option to upgrade to KE7 yet. Wondering if de-branding would then allow this, hence my question about rooting. I have Odin loaded and ready but still worrying about doing this ! :confused:

[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:

WRONG no O2 update to KE7 yet .

Why upgrade i would wait a week or so as rumour is the next update due soon is 2.3.4 if thats true then O2 may not proceed with KE7 .

Choice is XDA route stock Samsung firmware via Odin or official Kies path your choice .

[Galaxy S II General] steve16:
Will do

Thanks jja

Thanks again for your help with this, now have Keis working with usb as well as Keis air working correctly.

Thinking of quitting will I am ahead and wait for the next update !

First of all sorry for my bad English,I'm not a native.It happened when I was flashing back from i9000 rom to stock rom (I have no idea that it will brick my phone).I can't turn on my phone all I've got is black screen nothing shown up,no phone ! computer sign or Galaxy S logo.I've tried a several method to unbrick my phone but there is no luck for me.While I was trying to figured it out,my phone heated up like when you using it for a long time.Is there still a chance to get my phone back to work.I can't send it back to at&t,I'm not in the U.S.A.

Wouldn't hurt to try and you can make one for so cheap!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
So...you get absolutely nothing out of it just a black screen and it heats up when plugged in, sounds like a brick to me. I'd still give a jig a try since they are easy to make and the parts are cheap, only when you try it take the battery out reinsert it, DO NOT PRESS ANY BUTTONS, insert jig, then hold both volume buttons. If that doesn't work it's a brick. You can go directly through samsung for a warranty replacement. Never have to even have an at&t contact. depending on how you aquired the device they might replace it they might not. it might be iffy if you bought it used on ebay. Don't mention anything about a custom rom, say it happened using kies. If they don't replace it, go to mobiletechvideos.com he can jtag it for 50 u.s. Dollars plus shipping...

Hey everyone,

Is it possible to mod the camera.apk to use the camera with the power button to make photos?

I know on Galaxy s1 it took a long time to find out how to but finally it was possible.

Any chance to get it work on S2?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Dextrosan:
This has already been discussed and probably it is possible but it requires a skilled developer that knows his way around bytecode. Have tried to look into it myself, but got lost pretty easily.

Something like this will have to be applied.

I guess we have to wait till someone skilled gets into this. Also try to ask in this thread. Maybe Potatoman will find some time to try this.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] IILaryII:
Hey guys,

i was looking for the same hack, but I did not find one.

My knowledge about Java is poor, but I gave it a try.

I am able to shoot pictures with the powerbutton, but the menu pops up.

After a few hours I gave up and remapped both volumekeys, to work as the shutterbuttons. Zooming is still available with pinch to zoom.

My hack is not working for the camecorder, so I did not apply it.

Functions:

1080p Videorecording possible

Hold Volumekey to focus and release to shoot.

Tap Volumekey will take a direct snapshot

Installation (root acces requiered)

You can take Yaffs Explorere to replace the original file.

First execute "busybox mount -o rw,remount /system" to mount

Then copy and paste the new file into /system/app/

done.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 0355:
Nice one with the volume rocker!

[T-Mobile LG G2x] androidfan111:
can you use any boot animation with any phone, such as one made for the motorola droids and use it on the g2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Goose0121:
yeah, just modify they are stored on your phone in system/media. an easy way to change them would be to just download absolute system root from the market. there are hundreds to choose from, this also allows you to eaisly edit the downloaded boot animations resolution and framerate.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] web_ninja:
this is true only if you have a kernel/rom that supports bootanimation.zip... when i had my Vibrant i was on stock 2.2 and it wouldn't support it.. when i switched to a custom kernel like category worthless i was able to delete the old boot qmg files (i hope that was the right extension name) and replace with the bootanimation.zip i downloaded. It might be different on the g2x but i will research it.... i made a couple of boot animations for the vibrant so i knew what worked with it...:confused:

Has anyone ever pre-ordered/bought anything from this site?

They have an incredible deal which I really want to sign up for if I can't negotiate a similar rate with my current provider -

Well, I've started learning Java and I read somewhere that Java is used to program apps for Android. Now, I'm not looking to make complex games and apps, more like a "database" app to store data and maybe some form of note taking application to start off with. Can you guys recommend reading material, tutorials and programs to further my eduction? I've hit a bit of a rough spot so far.
[Android Software Development] FreeTheWorld:
Android has a notepad tutorial you can start there for free lol

http://developer.android.com/resources/tutorials/notepad/index.html

And when I started most people said "Hello, Android" was the best for beginners.

You can also check www.apress.com they have a decent array for books for android,java...etc Any of those books can be purchased from them directly or from amazon.com
[Android Software Development] Tricky-Design:
The Apress books are very helpful with the examples in code. It helped me a lot and it still does. I've got Beginning Android 2. I didn't read the book from a to z, I just started trying stuff and search a lot on the internet, there are a lot of examples out there.

Guys, is it better to study java first or go straight to android codes?
[Android Software Development] Tricky-Design:
I'd not wrote any code in java before I've started building apps for android. Only experience with VHDL, TCL, Makefiles and the basis of C++ and visual basic.

I think it is good to know the basis of Java and OOP but not necessary to be a java pro before you can start with android.

I've learned most from just start with simple android examples an try to understand what they do. If you have a question look on the internet and if you can't find the answer, just ask the question. There are a lot people willing to help.

ive bought these chinese bundle packs before, the batteries work fine, cant tell a performance difference, the charger will charge the battery up to 70% faster than the phone can, but after that, it takes like 24 hours for the next 30% to fill up.. but blah, im really only buying it for the batteries

[Galaxy S II Accessories] zkyevolved:
I've always been reluctant to buy cheapo batteries on ebay for a reason.

In my Blackberry days (when I was a hardcore BBer) I could see the difference even if they said that they were OEM. They were copies of OEM, with printed lables that looked just like them. If the battery costs less than 20 euro (or lets say 25 USD) WITHOUT shipping OR it's coming from China, then I'd say no to it just to be safe. I just spent a lot of money on my phone. I'm not going to have it explode or have a battery leak into my phone just to save 10 euros.

Hi guys

Had my galaxy s 2 through T-Mobile for a few days now. Beats HD2 running TyphooN CyanogenMod 7 hands down.

I've debranded the phone, running KE7 XEU and rooted via chainfire's insecure kernel.

However I've noticed this morning that the capacitive buttons are no longer lit up. The power is very low and needs charging, so I was wondering is this normal? A sort of built in power saving thing perhaps?

I'm not actually running power save mode, but suddenly the buttons aren't lit, however they still work?

Any ideas.

Thanks

Yes, that's normal. Search the settings, you can customize the behaviour.

Try to do this while the phone is in "recovery" not when it's started. Also the titanium backup alternative should work (by the way, what error do you get when trying to remove?).

Via Root Explorer you can't delete if you're S-ON. Those partitions are protected. You can remove something from there in recovery mode using adb commands.
[Legend Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sui77:
Ok, will do so.

Good info regarding Root Explorer.

I managed to delete ADWLauncher by instlling the linked ZIP.

However, how do i integrate ADWLauncher into the ROM, or is that not useful in any way?
