[Streak 5 General] Krad:
still working on it..getting the bugs out... had hoped to release it already.. but hitting a snag at every turn.

-network tweaks

-jhots orientation tweaks

-sd card performance tweak

-modified framework - no carrier text and gingertheme

-zipaligned

-deoxide

- removal of bloat (bare minimum)

-some light kernel modifications

still working on getting this F**ker to be flashable.
[Streak 5 General] Krad:
figured out the last bug... got it all squared away.. expect a new rom later this evening... gotta run for now.
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
I totally agree with Krad I jump around stock roms and other custom roms and I found 354 better that the 351, I dont know but it works good for me...
[Streak 5 General] geo.samuel:
My friend 351 is retail and 354 is a Hong Kong ROM, I jump from roms to roms way too often, I like 354 feels good and sturdy and the overall feel as KRAD mentioned is Good :)

Long back I had a confusion too whether to go for it or not, then PM'd Krad and got his view and tried 354.

Believe me its better than 351

ok about to root and rom. will verizon know if i call them for service questions? what i mean is, i suppose for a tech support call they can do over-the-phone diagnostics. right? if i call for tech support are they able to determine i am rooted and rommed through their diagnostics?

would i need to return to stock prior to making a tech support call to verizon?

thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edjm711:
there are honestly very few reps that know anything about the phones they sell
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I'm not sure why you'd call Verizon for diagnostics on a device that's not running their software anymore. I'd think talking to the dev would make more sense. I suppose the could tell, but care? Probably not. I told the manager where I got mine that I intended to root it as soon as I got home shd that my old Incredible was already rooted. His only question was how much better the battery life gets.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyodd:
They will try to help you for sure but they may no be able to since you do not have stock. They can not look up your phone info on their end but they may ask you for info like software or info about the phone from about phone that could give it away. Honestly you're probably better off posting your issue on this forum and having XDA help.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SomeGuyDude:
They wouldn't be too helpful not because you rooted but because you have a different piece of software on your phone.

It'd be like calling Microsoft because your copy of Ubuntu is acting up.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nerozehl:
>_> big red is all knowing >_> they will find you.. they will GET YOU! >_>

I don't think they can see what software you are using, but I do believe they may be able to see your radio version.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littleguevara:
So what about if i pay my bill with the My Verizon app and the thunderbolt ( which they know i have) is not yet supported by them? Not that i care but id think that be a huge red flag lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miketoasty:
Anyone can google "My Verizon.apk Thunderbolt", download it, and put it on their phones. Even non rooted fellas. So no, this should not throw up any red flags other than you are using a modded application.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gixxertriplezero:
U r legally allowed to root so dont worry about it
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dpdurst:
I did this a week ago, my TB lost 3G completely at the house and 4G only works in PHX. It just happens the wife's D1 had no 3G so I called and we went through some settings on the phone and they checked the IMEI number etc. Found out the following day after talking to several Verizon people that the issue was the SIM card on the phone so I took it in and they replaced it and that fixed it.

I was rooted when I called, I went back to stock before taking it in and replacing the SIM card. They knew nothing at all.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippythegoat:
It would be wise to just find help elsewhere. I find that online support is better than verizons anyways
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mepis:
I am an AT&T tech rep, so I can only speak for here. Bu universally most of us, despite carrier, that know what they are doing will answer the same from what I've found.

When someone walks into the device support center with an obviously rooted I won't exchange it for them. I will help them, find answers, and tell them how to fix it. I will also explain any known problems, or past problems, I know about with various roms. But I won't exchange the phone. And it's not to be mean. But often times when a person does come in with a rooted phone the issue they are experiencing is with the radio they flashed or the rom they are using. I see this a lot with the Inspire as is.

If I deem it to be an actual hardware issue and I can very the rom is not the issue then I will tell them how to take the phone back to stock so I can exchange it. For the Inspire I keep a handy sd card with the stock image there that I can flash it back right away.

If I know a phone has been rooted and the person brings it back to me with it flashed back to stock, I will exchange it without a problem. The phone is still under warranty and the warranty does explain in most products that not current software alterations exist (Ie: rooting, clockwork mod, unlock boot loader). If it's back to stock then warranty guidelines are meet.

Now with that being said, I have physical access to the device. Over the phone, the only way they would really be able to know is if they asked the software version, baseband version, kernel version, etc... and knew what they were off hand. Things like that. They can't magically peer into your phone over the air to see what's going on with it. That's the reason for their little script techs over the phone have to run through.

Ultimately, the advice mentioned above about asking the dev or the rom thread is the best you'll get. Most times this is your best place to look after a custom rom has been flashed. If a problem is deemed hardware and not software and you have to have it exchanged, flash back to stock and take it in. No tech rep will care if it was flashed back to stock (unless they are having a really miserable day and can prove it's rooted. but that's few and far between and not specific to any company).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertesteele:
So I am a noob and I may not know enough to be rooted, but I love the custom ROM's they work so much better than stock. Anyway, I started using the new Theory of Ginger Candy ROM and all was going well, until I downloaded the power options download that lets you restart into recovery from the power options. I downloaded it and then rebooted into recovery using ROM manager then I installed the .zip file for the advanced power options. Then, I rebooted and it freezes up at the lightning bolt. I let it sit on there for 20 min thinking maybe it was just going to take a long time then I did a battery pull and rebooted and got stuck again at the lightning bolt. Next I tried to pull the battery and then reboot into recovery by holding the volume down key and power key at the same time. This reboots into bootloader and automatically runs bootloader and then it asks if I want to update. How can I stop it from running bootloader automatically and then be able to scroll down into recovery? Or do I just flash the Radio again and will that take me back to a stock ROM that is with the radio, and then I can restore my backup I made before installing this advance power option .zip. Thanks for your help guys!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickWarner:
Sounds like you still have a PG05IMG.zip on your sdcard. Can you pop the card out and remove it manually on your computer? Dunno if ADB's active during recovery, but you might also be able to get a shell via USB and delete the file that way and reboot.

Otherwise, you might be able to flash the file that currently exists, but I don't know what that's going to do; depends on which version is on your sdcard.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
Go to Frys or Radio Shack or best buy and buy yourself an SD card reader. Dont buy the most expensive one, just buy the cheapest one you can find. Take it home, slap the SD card in there and put it in the first USB slot you find. Open up the SD card on your computer and delete the PG05IMG.zip file. Youll see it at the bottom of the list if you organize by type.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] letzgostate:
Sorry buddy, I know I am the one that directed you to that post about the advanced power menu. It worked for me, I am really sorry this messed things up for you. In the past I have had a similar problem and as mentioned, getting that image file off the root of your sdcard is key. I too would recommend a microsd reader for your computer and making sure you rename or delete the image file. This will allow you to get back into CWM.

Props to you too for being a noob and still knowing enough to make a backup!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robertesteele:
Thanks for you help everyone. I did make a back-up but I couldn't log into CWM recovery with the PGOIMG file on my SD card, and I didn't have a microsd card reader or anyway to plug the sd card into my computer to get the file off, so I found a tricky little way to do it. I pulled the SD card just barley out and held the battery in at an angle so that it didn't push the sd card back in. Then with the sd card out I was able to get into recovery. Then came the tricky part of getting the sd card back in without loosing a conection with the battery. I ended up using a bent paper clip to push the sd card into place. After a few attempts I was able to get the sd card in place and the battery back in place while staying in cwm. The next problem was that it sitll wouldn't recognize my sd card. I went into mounts and tried to unmount and remount the sd card with no luck, but then I noticed in the advanced options there is the option to reboot recovery. This allowed me to reboot back into recovery and then it saw my sd card. So after all that I was able to restore my back-up version of B1.7. I now promptly remove the PGOIMG file after flashing a radio.
[Galaxy S II General] smartbot:
According to PhoneArea a Verizon spokeswomen has confirmed that they will be launching the Samsung Galaxy S II sometime next month.

http://www.phonearena.com/news/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-confirmed-for-July-touch-down-at-Verizon_id19421

I'm sure AT&T will probably release it around the same time (if not sooner).
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
This is shocking...

"Although the phone will not be enabled for the LTE 4G network, it probably won't matter to potential buyers as the device has already proven itself to be speedy over 3G pipelines."

What's the purpose of launching a state-of-the-art phone that doesn't run on your state-of-the-art network? Hell, with EVDO, it'll be the slowest of the three U.S. SGS2 variants assuming it's Wi-Max on Sprint and 4G and/or LTE on AT&T. Why carry the phone at all?
[Galaxy S II General] buttes:
Oh well, I don't even have 4G coverage here. By the time I do, I'll probably already be getting a new phone.

Also while I don't put much stock what an email from a Verizon spokesperson says, at least Verizon acknowledges the phone and it will at least come out eventually. I hope it really does come out in July though.
[Galaxy S II General] Meets34:
At least it will work on ATT's fake 4G HSPA+.

To work on Verizon's LTE would require a big redesign.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
I thought it was supposed to be AT&T's first LTE phone? I read that online somewhere but can't find it now. AT&T was also supposed to be the first to launch so maybe the hold up is getting the LTE radio working. AT&T's LTE network is supposed to light up in a couple of weeks and they still have nothing that can run on it. Yet they're introducing a slew of high-end devices that work on a network that's outdated. Strange.

P.S. - Now that I think about it, it may be the combination of CDMA and LTE that prompted VZW and Samsung to skip LTE. That will still be strange though if Sprint's variant ends up being CDMA/Wi-Max.
[Galaxy S II General] Meets34:
Adding the LTE radio and chipset would probably require redesigning the phone. The current LTE phones are really big and thick.
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Bad for AT&T but good for all of us who imported a non-branded SGS2. I assumed that AT&T's LTE version was going to make our phones (at least in the U.S.) outdated. If it ends of being the same phone with AT&T "enhancements" it makes our decision (and the price) worthwhile.
[Galaxy S II General] MrLeon:
Excuse my ignorance, but what are the chances of the carriers making the phone better? I don't know how, just asking.

I don't know if i should just wait to see the differences with the ATT version or just buy the unlocked one now
[Galaxy S II General] boondoc:
well there's always the chance you can get a nice cold refreshing glass of lemonade in Hell...
[Galaxy S II General] Meets34:
Very close to zero. They will just add bloatware.

The only good thing is the subsidized price.

Yep, can never trust those spokesperson emails. God damn. :(
[Galaxy S II General] altimax98:
Thank goodness it's for the tab :-) I'm not eligible until 9/4/2011 :-)
[Galaxy S II General] cmd512:
You guys need to realize JUST how hard it is to design and properly tune for LTE bands. I work in antenna design, and I can tell you it takes quite a bit to tune the noise down on the LTE frequencies. Add that to the fact that antenna real estate is already extremely tight in an ultra thin device like the SGSII (especially when taking GSM, WIFI, bluetooth, and GPS into account), the only way to get LTE in would be to have one/several of the other bands to suffer AND/OR make the device much, much thicker.

Until active antenna solutions are more readily available, this will continue to be a problem with passive antenna design, especially with small form factor devices like mobile phones.
[Captivate General] erbch:
I have an issue.

The first day using darky's 10.1 cappy edition, i had voice out on my calls.. Now I have no voice out on calls.. This is the second time with this issue.. i had to go back to stock.. ok... back on darky's cappy 10.1.

I have NO outgoing voice on calls. any calls.. I have tried several modems.. I am at a loss.

I have reinstalled darky's from a complete wipe.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks

Erbch
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
I'm also running Darky's 10.1, but without issue.

Can you detail each and every step you took to get where you are now? Quite literally *everything* step by step.
[Captivate General] ikari2539:
I ran Darky's up until Saturday, and it was a wonderful ROM for me. Have you tried a different modem; and are you 100% positive you are using the Cappy version of Darky's? Also, what kernel are you trying to use?
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Haven't had that particular problem with Darky's, but I have severe stability issues with it (random reboots that I haven't experienced on any other rom, general sluggishness and inability to keep apps memory resident..). Going to mosey on over to Serendipity when I get some free time; I trust MikeyMike01's work.
[Captivate General] kant5t1km3:
no offence or anything but shouldn't his be posed in the darky forum?
[Captivate General] erbch:
Issue solved.. titanoum backup was restoring sokething that gingerbread did not like.. Probably a phone app pr something..

I had to load each item individually. all fixed.. fyi i did post on darky's site.

Thanks for the help guys.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ulissescg:
i was updating my U8150 with a custom ROM (Ideos HD) and somehow i did something wrong, i did the wipe and install the custom ROM and the Kernel update at the same time. The phone was taking long time to install and when splash logo stops for a few seconds it restart and the phone continues on that more, restarting one and one more time.. then i try to see if i can enter to the Recovery mode and looks like i missed the clockworkmod mode, i cannot enter to that, then y try to see if I can enter to fastboot to reinstall the recovery image (clockworkmod) mode and i see an error message saying " Firmware Update Step 1/2 Unpacking" then after the progress bar it says "Update Failed"

i check the cmd and fastboot mode is not allowed, even the device manager is not on that mode, then doing the recovery i can enter for a few seconds to adb but because the phone is restarting i need to do a few commands on this mode....

My question is: if somehow i can flash the recovery mode with adb?? i have see that some guys do with a terminal emulator but with the phone working and the normal way I hace seeing is on fastboot mode but i cannot enter to that mode...

i just wanted to see if somehow i can install with adb the recovery or maybe entering to the adb with shell and install it from there…

any crazy idea I will try it…

Regards
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ulissescg:
i just download the original firmware and when entering fastbootmode it automatically detects the .APP File, lets see what happens...

i take the file from this >>> http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1011527

i hope at least i can get from stock, i will see if need to do root again...

I've recently downloaded nd flashed the new GB radio after the first day (its been a week now) Ive noticed that even though

I had my phone charging for like 2 hours it would be only charging to 48 % is this a known issue not sure if this helps but also I cant flash any of my recoveries all I can flash are custom roms when tryn to flash a recovery it has problem overwriting the system but on a custom Rom it has no problem
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McLabia:
Considering that the battery supposedly takes 4 hours to charge to 100%, that sounds right. Look at your cord.
[HTC EVO 3D] jkapp3000:
so I'm obviously going to be going from the evo 4g to the evo 3D which I cannot wait. Anyways out of curiousity because I have apps such as beautiful widgets I paid for and would like to use on the 3D as well if it is compatible. I guess my question would be is there any way to transfer my purchased items and maybe some apps to the 3D when I get it so I can avoid paying for them again? Any input will be much appreciated. Feel free to elaborate if needed

thanks!
[HTC EVO 3D] bigant262:
All your app purchases are tied to your gmail account, so make sure you use the same gmail account.
[HTC EVO 3D] Rydah:
Yup, what he said.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mediocrates:
The only apps you will have to pay for, and download, a second time, are the ones you bought OUTSIDE of Android Market. All others are tied to your IMEI number, and therefore, when you change phones, the license for those downloads expire. (EA's HD games come to mind!)
[HTC EVO 3D] user7618:
Amazon market should be good to go, I would think. They're tied to your Amazon account. I hope so, anyway, as I've been stockpiling the free apps. :D

all you have to do is sign in to your google account and they should be on your Evo 3D when your done same here I got my Evo3D pre ordered so I get mine on the 24th of June can't wait
[HTC EVO 3D] Stuke00:
Yes Amazon apps work on multiple devices. I have it setup on my tablet and my phone. Any market apps, just go to the "My apps" section of the market and it will show up as "purchased". Just download again and install for free.

What about the apps that got removed from the market. Like the Nintendo emulators
[HTC EVO 3D] Buff McBigstuff:
Get titanium backup and back them up.
[HTC EVO 3D] kingakuma:
if you paid for apps outside of the market just contact them and they will most likely relink them to your new device.

i mean seriously are they really going to deny you if you device was destroyed or replaced because of a defect, you paid for them and as long as they are compatible they should allow you to re download them

TB will back them up on the 4g, but wont install them on the 3d w/o root.

Hi All

Right, I am finally changing over from my Nokia N900 to a Samsung Galaxy S2, arriving tomorrow.

First things first, change the rom from the std O2 so time for the learning curve.

Anyway, I am looking at the best custom rom for a newbie. So far the one that sticks out is Lite'ning Rom as it roots your device.

Is this ok, or is there any other preference?

Scott
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dj_ghosie:
Well, since you are a newbie to Android, let along Sammy, it would be advisable not to mess with the ROM and get used to the eco-system first. Otherwise you wouldn't know how to appreciate the ROMs.

Good luck with the Gs2, mine's arriving some I me next week!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mccune:
There simply is no best ROM. Just read and try... Threads like these don't have a very long life span. It will probably be locked soon.

Please read the forum rules before posting. Keeps the forum nice and tidy ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
There's no "best ROM".
[HTC Sensation] DSensation:
Well I want to pre-order my Sensation now (20th of June first stock on UK :O)

but something is bothering me.. I was in the UK 2 weeks ago I think (MUN vs Barca match :O) and I tried the Sensation on Vodafone and the Galaxy S II on somewhere else.

I didn't really notice any major difference, except the little uhm... "un-completely-smoothness" in both of them.. but that's usual if I understood correctly. (I mean not like the iPhone or something like that)

Still, the Sensation and in general any HTC device attracted me because of several reasons- one was the design of the system. (The lock screen with the ring, the bottom bar with the Phone and Menu buttons and all of this) and I wanted to ask:

If CM7 will come to the Sensation (as I saw in one thread here), will I be able to use CM7 on the Sensation but change the design to HTCs' original design? (As I mentioned above)

Thanks! and sorry for the length of this ><
[HTC Sensation] giorgisp:
When the bootloader of the device is finally unlocked, we will most probably get CM7 support. CM7 is an optimized stock gingerbread rom and you will get the standard stock android interface and design. You can't have Sense functions on CM7, such as the lockscreen and the widgets because it's a different rom (operating system, actually). So, no you won't be able to have the Sense interface on CM7. And there's no point in doing so - if you like Sense, just keep HTC's stock rom :).
[HTC Sensation] DSensation:
Oh thanks... thought there might be a chance :(

I think I won't keep HTC's stock rom if the difference will be big eh ><.
[Networking] trunzoc:
I live in a very rural part of NorthEast PA and have ZERO cell service over the air. I currently have a Verizon network extended running over a Comcast cable modem that does a great job of providing service to my home.

I'd very much like to try other providers, but can't really drop the money on a new network extended from another carrier.

Does anyone know if any of the big US providers will give a free extender for a new line of service?
