[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
hey guys i aint the developer for this Mod. This was pointed out to me by boloj. thanks to him that :)

it's originally done by SNQ for Desire. And it was Modified by Jack_r1 for My touch 4G. here is a link to his thread.

Please use extreme caution and back up everything before you apply this mod.

For me it works on Ginger sense leak Rom rooted and untouched version posted by rmk.and it ideally should work on all other ginger sense roms based on that 2.30.405.1 rom.

and im just making a thead over here at Desire Z section as most ppl who really liked this feature dont know of its existence on gingerbread sense roms
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] shenlei089:
dont work on 2.30.405.1
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] jontornblom:
Too bad this was the only reply.

In fact, it does work as described. At least it did for me on SenseGinger 3.0, which is, of course, 2.30.405.1

Thanks, hispeedworm!

I seem to remember the tp wake being a big deal when the leak came out, but lo and behold, a solution. Hope this bump can help someone out.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
@shenlei089 im on the 2.30.405.1 rom too and it works for me :)

@jontornblom your welcome :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] DanWilson:
This is (I think) the mod I used in TrollogenMODS. Back when people used it...

Although I had it before this thread was posted. But yes, it does work.

Check its installing OK, then reboot, make sure you ain't editing keys with ButtonRemapper or something, then say it doesn't work.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] hispeedworm:
that must be true ... i found this mod after going bannanas searching for it ... than a very nice guy pointed me to it :) it was given a link deep inside a rom discussion thread . i just posted it outside as a separate thread so that its a bit more visible for ppl like me :p

[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Hi everyone!

I am trying to make Ad Free from the Market work but it won't. My HTC Desire is rooted with unrevoked (so, not S-OFF, but I've read that it's not necessary. Is it?).

I have tried two different things:

1) Run the program WITHOUT the symlink option enabled. The phone automatically reboots and nothing happens, adds are still shown in all the apps.

2) Run the program WITH the symlink option enabled. The program seems to work and a message appears saying that my phone should now be add free. But, in fact, it is not, adds are still visible everywhere.

I have been looking for solutions in this forum and in Google but I have seen a lot of different procedures suggested by users and I am not sure it would be safe for the phone to try them one by one.

It would be great if someone has been in the same situation and could tell me how to solve my problem.

Thank you in advance.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
You either have to be s-off in order for the app to place the modified "hosts" file in /system/etc/ Otherwise you have to have the file symlinked to a specific place on the data-position(this is the place the app places the "hosts" file if you check the option for symlink.)

You can also just push the modified hosts file from recovery :)

edit: my suggestion is to s-off it, as it makes everything so much easier, and if you screw something up, you can almost always recover your phone without running a ruu.
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
I have been trying to do that before opening this thread but I didin't manage to do it successfully. Could you please help me through the process?

Anyway, how could I do the "you have to have the file symlinked to a specific place on the data-position(this is the place the app places the "hosts" file if you check the option for symlink.)" part?
[Desire General] EddyOS:
You need to edit the ROM to symlink the hosts file to the /data partition
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Is there any place where I can get info to do that? I am kind of inexperienced... :(
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
don't do it just push the goddamn file in recovery or for god sake please just run s-off.

If you want help pushing it, pm me.

edit: host file added
[Desire General] Willem Mulder:
You need to have s off, this is easy with alfarev!
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Have been suggested(twice by me), but as you might get from reading his replies, he doesn't want to do that. I guided him through pushing the file though, so the problem have been resolved.
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
With some help from mortenmhp by private messaging I got it to work without s-off. Anyway, I tried alfarev this morning and it detects my phone but gets stuck in the next step...

By the moment is one thing I don't need, but it would be fine to know what the problem is...
[Desire General] Xgeda:
S-OFF doesn't work with all kinds of desire phones ...

some PVT-4 (like mine) cant be S-OFF u may brick it trying so just push files its safer using terminal emulator from market or using ADB

this may help u with commands http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=688820
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
Well, in alfarev web site they say their software is compatible with PTV4 HTC Desire, but anyway mine is PTV3, so the problem can't be that.
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Yes it does, or at least it works with all gsm ones for now. From their website:

Also no you cannot use terminal emulator to push files, and you most certainly cannot use it to manage files on the /system partition without s-off.

Dj Telo: the most common problems with alpharev is connected to the computer the software is run on. Are you using an emulator to boot the disk, or are you actually booting it?

If the first one is the case, you will need to burn the image and boot it, however, if that doesn't work, you might need to try another computer. Just borrow one, as it is a onetime thing, and it only takes a couple of minutes.

Also make sure your current rom is not using d2sd, d2ext or something similar, as the tool uses the data-partition and may not work with the ext-partition,
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
I am very sure, you do not s-off to run adfree!!

Did you run "download & install hosts" directly after starting adfree and requested the superuser request to "yes" and "remember"? Which ip do you use?
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Well as already explained the relevant file (/system/etc/hosts) is placed on the system partition(obviously). And as such it cannot be edited while the system is booted without s-off, so an app won't be able to do so.

So unless the system has been edited to load the file from the data-partition(as in the symlink option i referred to earlier) yes you do indeed need s-off to use the app. However as you might get from actually reading through the thread, the actual problem has been resolved, and currently he is just trying to gain s-off.
[Desire General] Dj Telo:
I did burn a CD but it did not work. I will borrow a computer, as you suggest. There's a busy week for me coming but I'll try that afterwards. I'll insist on this thread in case I can't succeed.

I did exactly what you say, but adds would still appear. The IP used was the default one.

Anyway, I already managed to make it work. ;)
[Nexus S General] DCRocks:
Ran across this article, and figured I would post it here as a heads up
[Nexus S General] matt2053:
Photos disappear and reappear based on signal strength? WTF? I'll eat a shoe if that's true.
[Nexus S General] redandblack1287:
The photos aren't actually being deleted. I had this problem without realizing it right after I rooted, but I only had one picture so it actually showed up after a while. Basically what happens is that the phone gets tied up looking for signal and stops doing whatever it was doing, such as loading photos. It took almost 5 minutes to load my one photo, so I can imagine that people just assumed the photos were gone. There are a few other things that stop being responsive randomly, such as fruit ninja. While on wifi the problem goes away because it is all related to the radio, which is looking for CDMA signal and some other signal that it can'y pick up, so all of the phone resources go to looking for signal until it switches back to CDMA.
[Nexus S General] redandblack1287:
Someone else can explain this more appropriately, but thats the basic jist of it
[Nexus S General] nmoreman:
Thank you, that was nice and simple explanation. I generally ignore radio complaints, they are usually *****ing and whining, not realizing phone service

can suck depending on where you are (my vacation homes have the worst

signal, so I have just learned that is the way it is). It is also not the tendency

to have happy users get on these forums and rave.

So fortuntely this has not happend to me, but I'm glad I read and learned

something just in case, especially when I'm in one of those roam or almost

roam areas.
[Nexus S General] ZeroCool84:
Makes perfect sense.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
I had to photo issue. I deleted a few and the entire thread disappeared. I backed out, came in and the ones I didn't delete were there. Some updates need to come to fix these silly issues.
[Nexus S General] Yogi3:
I also had the photo issue and also my causing had this issue but he also ran into it with his videos...

Fixes need to be done ASAP or I may jump in that Photon 4G whenever it drops ... I love my Nexus S 4G but I don't feel like Google has given it the same love the original Nexus 1 had. That's just my opinion... Then again I never think there will be a perfect phone for me, but I'm going to keep looking ;) :p
[Desire General] Jasand:
I have spent 20 minutes searching this forum and cannot find my answer so....

Why is the fm radio so poor, all I get is static and music in the background. If the fm radio cannot be improved and this is the best it is why have it?

I went for a run last night and didn't realise I deleted my files as a reboot and tried the radio but its hopeless.

Is this the same for everyone?
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Yup :) it's probably because fm's an old technology, and it require quite a bit of an atenna in order to gain proper signal, and the headset on the desire is apparently not enough of an antenna.

If you have a proper data-plan, i will suggest you tune-in radio from the market. It's got most local radio stations :)
[Desire General] Jasand:
I have 1gb of internet, thank you for the info.

If not ill strap an aerial to my head and hope the thunder does not start.

Surely they know the radio is awfull also can anyone fit those headphones in your ears? I know I can't.
[Desire General] ufrat:
It works quite well if you dont want to wear the headphones ^^ hold it in a direction and search for signal ... it works quite fine than ...

To the questions of the headphones ...

They aren't the best but fit quite good for me without the softskin over it.
[Desire General] davebugyi:
Well I had issues with the factory earphones/headset, but it works fine with my Ultimate Ears earphones and AKG headphones.
[Desire General] Lothaen:
i also found the FM radio a bit rubbish

I was sure it was 'better' (not perfect) on the HTC Touch HD (Blackstone)

will probably use internet radio and/or Music Beta from now on...
[Desire General] Jasand:
No offence but if you can get the HTC headphones in your ears then you must have massive ears!

Thanks for all the comments, I hope the sensation is better.
[Desire General] joebongo:
Use a cable extension to the headphones to increase antenna size. Radio is quite acceptable with my pillow speaker which has approx 2m of cable.
[Desire General] wska:
Even the sound is soo low... while in a bus or something its hard to hear it . hhh
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
Before you post the link to the XDA noob video, no, this isn't a question about 'how to enable autocorrect on the stock keyboard' ;)

It's actually a question about autocorrect on the stock Samsung Keyboard.

Is there any way to force the autocorrect bar to permanently stay above the keyboard when XT9 is enabled, like the Gingerbread keyboard? When typing in, say, the Messaging app, the autocorrect bar pops up when I enter something and disappears when I hit space, making the little text entry box go up-and-down-and-up-and-down making me quite dizzy since my eyes have to bob up and down.

I would just use the gingerbread keyboard but the banding on that kb is annoying.

If it matters, GT-i9100, VR1.1, pulser_g2's KE2 multi-CSC package (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14254203#post14254203)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Greenie-UK:
Im currently using the Gingerbread Keyboard from Marketplace, as far as im aware there is nothing at the moment that can be done to stop the autocorrection box appearing/Disappearing !

i think the samsung keyboard is rather annoying, the space bar is way too small causing me to press the . button atleast 1 in every 5 words.. annoyance !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zidane:
i have been looking everywhere for a fix, nothing so far!

i hope this thread will get enough attention and the keyboard can be modded.

the only reason im not using samsung keyboard is because of this issue
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
OK, I just downloaded the version from the Market (the free one from Steven Lin, right?).

No banding (:)) but vibrate on keypress doesn't do anything.

Can you test on yours and see if vibe works?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] huzz:
X9 in settings that is what enables it. Though doesn't work on custom roms I have no idea why.

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
You mean to enable autocorrect for the stock Samsung keyboard?

Re-read my post. I have no problem enabling it, but it's the execution that is annoying.

If only I could get vibration working for the Gingerbread keyboard (the apk I got off xda works, but there's noticeable banding, while the one off the market has no banding but vibe doesn't work).
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] dhruvmalik:
+1

I am also using the Gingerbread Keyboard and it is 100% better, more responsive and better with predictive text than the crappy Samsung KB.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
At the end of the day I got HTC_IME installed and will probably be sticking with that.

No banding, vibration works, autocorrect is great & doesn't give me a seizure. Only problem is that it crashes the Samsung Email app (but I use the stock Gmail app so it's not a problem).

Does anyone know how to get vibration working on the Market GB kb?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Greenie-UK:
if you use gingerbread KB you need to change the Vibrate setting to "normal" in advanced settings and it should work !

Thanked you accidentally too Lol. but you can keep it ;)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
Why thank you very much. I have returned the favor ;)

Well actually I would have thanked you either way, since setting the vibe intensity to Normal as you suggested worked.

Thanks again :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] robbiekhan:
I'd recommend Thumb Keyboard or Swiftkey X Beta. both a LOT better than the Samsung KB and both offer superior prediction and customisation. Thumb has split KB and customisation too.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Greenie-UK:
Lol no problem.

only figured how to sort it out over Frustration at no vibration when typing lol !

glad it all works :) if you get the paid version you can have different haptic Vibes on the keyboard, pretty neat !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
Currently downloading the English pack for SwiftKey X. Looks pretty cool. Thanks for the suggestion!

Got it installed. I like how it can personalize my autocorrect via my Facebook account and SMSes. Autocorrect is great. Thanks again.

Is it just me or does the vibrate seem to be a bit stronger than other keyboards (particularly the Samsung one)? Just a minor niggle lol.

whoo hundredth post! I'm a senior member now :p
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] bluebirds:
Smart Keyboard Pro for me.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] paranoid2007:
Another keyboard to consider is Smart Keyboard Pro. It has tons of options to configure.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
Ahh I'm going to have 50 input methods by the end of the day :p

I'll try that out tomorrow, thanks for the suggestions!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] paranoid2007:
Welcome to the world of Android. :-)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] sgupta1:
Can you still use swype with one of these keyboard apps?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] krabman:
I use swiftkey x and swype alternatively depending on what I'm typing. The prediction in swiftkey is spooky good.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yamanote:
I bought Smart Keyboard Pro. Autocorrect is as good as the others and I like the themes. Which one should I stick with... :p

LOL thanks. Not my first Android phone though ;) On the others I just stuck with the stock kb (HTC_IME and the SE ime) which weren't too bad. The Samsung one is just that bad (anything which gives me a headache ain't good).

Yeah, just press & hold the text box and select Input Method.

Hi all,

This is my first post, although I've been a lurking N1 user for a fair while. Now I have a Galaxy S2.

The issue is:

I flashed Litepro's Lite'ning ROM v1.1 a week or so ago and it caused Flash content in the browser to jump and move about whilst scrolling. When still, the content played fine, but the effect when scrolling is very ugly as you can end up with a flash banner accross what you're trying to read.

I went back to stock ROM and all was back to normal.

I've put v1.2 on hoping that the Flash problem might have been noticed and fixed but it's not.

Anyone else?

(trying to Google search this topic is a pain due to having the words 'flash','problem' and 'lite'ning' bring up the obvious!)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krizp0:
Ufortunately the same issue here :-(

Probably the "lag-fix" provided with the ROM that does it...

However I have a few questions, would you recommened it? How is the batter life with e-mail updates constant/instant and few web browsing. My old android x8 had soem lag, has this now been sorted due to the power or is it jsut andorid os?

[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
Here's some things to consider with the SGS2. Some of what's listed effects different users to different degrees.

- Display

There's a band on the left side that seems discolored on a gray background at 20% brightness in the dark. Some see it in everyday use, some don't. I'd venture a guess that more don't or the hue and cry would be louder. If you're anal retentive about your display, check out the 60 page thread.

- Wi-Fi

Seems wonky for some users. It may be equipment specific (EG: router) or strangeness with a particular handset. There's a couple of threads running on that.

- 2G/3G/4G

There's some connectivity issues depending on what network you're on. Make sure your location and/or carrier aren't ones people may be having issues with.

- Audio

If you're an audiophile there's a couple of threads on audio performance which, due to a number of factors, has been deemed by pros to be below that of the original Galaxy.

- Camera

There's a bunch of threads on stills and video. Read them if you're a heavy camera user. Biggest issue now is a pink spot showing up photographing white backgrounds in natural light.

- Battery

Average at best. As things currently are, plan on 10-16 hours depending on how you use the phone. There's an issue in 2.3.3. that effects dual-core phones and Samsung's issuing an update to 2.3.4. any day now which is supposed to correct it.

Based on the way I (and only I) use the phone I'm very happy and the above issues either don't bother me or don't effect me. The phone's fast, the display is beautiful, and it's a great all around device. Compare your hot buttons to those of others and if you think you're good, by all means get the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
Don't forget the color banding, gradients don't appear smooth but look banded like they did in the 90's with 16 bit color
[Galaxy S II General] BarryH_GEG:
There's a thread on whether the phone's fully using its 24bit capabilities via the display. The theory is that when software is directly addressing the screen its fine. When drivers get involved it drops to 16bit. The same thing happened to the Nexus S and was fixed in 2.3.4. We're hoping the same thing happens.
[Galaxy S II General] andoridkiller:
I would just like to that all you for your comments, so far all the problems are actully scaring me lol. However with all these problems would you still reccommened this phone? If so do you like it more than your previous andorid phone?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Problems i have none of the above and suggest the ones that do are in a minority as always .

Choice is yours but remember that a forum like tis does not get may saying its brilliant by its very nature those that perceive a problem post those that dont have the problem dont post .

Plus the posters of xxx problem always manage to post multiple threads saying exactly the same .

+1 nicely put
[Galaxy S II General] poults:
Look, if your just using it as a device that can phone, text, take pics when you need that arent for a magazine or something, play some tunes whilst you are on the bus or whatever, do some modding if you are that way inclined then buy it. If you are fussy about anything like that find something else. People will always find problems with devices like this as they are used to better maybe or compare it to a device thats is specifically for playing music or taking photos. This is a great phone, best i have had and i am well pleased. Just my opinion anyway.
