[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
You've made the move from a stock based ROM to a CM7 based ROM.

They handle the internal SD card differently, so things appear to be missing, but you just need to hunt them down. Stuff that was originally in /sdcard are now in /mnt/emmc, and stuff that was in /sdcard/_ExternalSD is now in /sdcard

Hi,

Im also new to android using a Galaxy S2 and experiencing poor battery performance.

A friend recommended advanced taskkiller from the market.

Its set to autostart with the device and the Autokill level is set to Crazy ;)

In the frequency you can choose how often it kills (for me that is every time I lock the screen).

This has definitely improved my battery life =)

People with bricked rooted xperia play phones have been flashing ftf files trying to get it working again with a non working radio.

Like why can't people with bricked phone flash that play_modded.img rom?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
simple because to flash an .img you need to be able to get into fastboot, and bricked plays cant :)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
the tft file is a complete ota update, the .img in question is just a copy of the /system/ partition, to flash with flashtool you need boot.img, radio.img system.img ect all packed into .sin files and the tft

[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
If the ROM requires an ext partition, I would strongly suggest getting a Class 4 or better SD card. For what kind of partition, read the instructions for the particular ROM regarding filesystem/size.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] doktornotor:
This is not a matter of ROM. Class 2 is simply too slow, I would not suggest using with any custom ROM that relies on sd-ext partition. Best case will cause the phone to be slow.

[Touch CDMA General] HairyScot:
I have an OKTA (HTC Vogue marketed as OKTA by NZ Telecom) CDMA with XevRev1.000b2 Carrier BellCA ROM and the NZ Telecom CAB.

I recently found that if I dial or try to call back a number starting with 02 then the dialler is placing a 1 in front of the number. Seems to occur with any 02x except 022.

Most NZ mobile numbers are 021 or 027 and all those in my contacts are stored with the +64 prefix for NZ. If I enter one of those then I don't get the 1 being added since the dialler seems to recognise those numbers stored in contacts.

Any ideas anyone?

wow i remember checking out lightinthebox back when all they had was resistive touch screen 1.6 tablets....they have come a LONG WAY!

the othello is a capacitive, 2.2, 1ghz cpu tablet! crazy!

well, the othello is more expensive but here's what i see:

7 inch screen is a nice size, easier to handle, and will do better on battery.

comes with 2.2 stock instead of 2.1 yay

clearly states it has a capacitive touch screen where the other is...suspiciously silent on the issue...

the othello has twice the ram of the other tablet..512 vs 256

othello comes with 4gb of storage installed as opposed to 2

plus the othello has a camera

i'd pay more for the othello. it looks great. seriously great.

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohit12:
Okay, now I know that there are other threads about this, but the issue is that none are specific to my problem. Either they are not for my phone, or my version is different or the thread is dead and with no replies. So I created a new thread.

Anyway, I was hoping that I could get a step by step procedure on how to root my phone and install a custom ROM.

The issue is, my KIES doesn't work (so help me with that also please) and moreover, I'm very new to all this so I don't quite get a few things.

Also, please tell me what are the best ROMs out there and if something does go wrong in the process, how do I un-brick my phone?

So I'm looking for active replies / repliers since I know I'll have a bunch of questions during the process.

Last, when I go to "about phone" on my phone it says "firmware version 2.2", but the little that I've looked up, people run 2.2.1. Does this mean my rooting process is different?

Thanks. And in case you want it, my kernel version is 2.6.32.9

Appreciate it.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubhashish:
rooting z4root

custom rom - pick a custom rom and follow instruction in that thread.

Your phone is already updated to 2.2 and that is the reason why kies doesn't show new updates. Our phone has 2.2 and not 2.2.1

If you use roms which doesnt have boot then it will not get hard bricked. soft brick can be fixed by reflashing.

What is the exact issue you are facing while using kies? Try a uninstall and reinstall. That should fix it
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohit12:
K, so I fixed KIES. I just had to update though, I was running on an older version. I didn't think a slightly outdated version would not detect my phone.. anyway never mind that.

So I don't really know what the best custom ROM is out there. could you suggest one? one that is fast (speed is really the priority), and not buggy, supports the apps that the stock ROM should. I'm willing to try three-four, so give me the names of the best ones out there.

Don't I need to root my phone before installing a custom ROM? If so, then I need to learn how to do that..

What do you mean it doesn't have a boot? o.O
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubhashish:
Well to figure out best ROm you will have to read up on each ROm. Each of them have separate thread where initial posts describe the properties of ROm. There are ROm comparison threads out there but that is just summary. I cant give you best choices. Everybody has different taste. Start with more popular ones, whose threads have more posts. More post -> more popular.

You can root using z4root.

Custom ROM are pre rooted normally so you need not root your phone before flashing custom rom
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anant.0097:
if speed is a prime consideration then i would suggest kyrillos rom..... fastest rom i ever used....... very less buggy.......

you can also flash lestatious rom..... it is damn fast and surprisingly stable!.....

and check dharam's rom collection too....... i'm using his ultra clean ultimate rom right now..... and it's good although since you are new i would recommend flashing a different rom from his collection.....

As for rooting.... you don't need to root before flashing a custom rom....

And in case you need any information about any of the features or anything.... just post it here ....... i'lll try to help you in whatever way i can.,.....
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brajesh.sharma87:
Hey i would suggest u to go for Indroid 4.3. I m using this and have seen many users jumping from lestatious and kyrollis to indroid.

As a begginer, u will also get many help in Indroid thread.

Z4root doesnt work in Froyo, if u wanna root, choose superone click.

U dont need kies to work, Use Odin to flash ur fone.

Make sure to learn processes better by reading through forums, if u dont wanna brick ur fone.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhirend_6d:
Hey!! I would suggest Indroid 4.3 or Kyrillos 5.6. They are fast as hey have lagfix.

And no you don t have to root your phone before installing a custom ROM. But if you want to root, use superoneclick to root.

And as for bricking, you can avoid hard brick by installing a ROM that does not have bootloader. Bootloader is a piece of code that runs before any operating system starts. So you should avoid flashing bootloader.

As for soft bricks, you can just reflash to come out of the soft brick.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohit12:
okay so i was doing a bit of reading up and i realised the following :

1)First i need to download :

a) Odin (please post version number i have to get for my i5801 (or is it just one thing for all phones?) or a link please.)

b) some backup software. now i downloaded titanium backup, but it won't open because it says my phone is not rooted. so help me go about this.

c) a custom ROM. I think i'll start off with kyrillos rom since i've been told it's the fastest and very less buggy. i'll then move on to Dharam's ROM if i don't like kyrillos rom because Dharam seems to be a very active user, and quite friendly, and i feel he can solve the issues well. after that i'll try Indroid.

d) I also need superone click.

Question : Where do i download these? directly on my phone or on my computer?

2) I can increase my internal storage by partitioning a part of my SD card. Now I have a 4 GB SD card and i barely use it, so i don't mind giving upto 1GB of it. Please suggest the perfect amount. whether 1GB will be too much, or whether 500MB would be too less.

3) some apps do not work with custom ROMs. The app that i really want is 4shared. It's working currently on my phone with the stock ROM, so if someone can check if that will also work on the three ROMs that i mentioned.

4) soft bricking isn't much of an issue, but it's better i avoid it. so can someone give me a rather up-to-date guide (or link) on rooting, because the other ones are REALLY old. at least 4-5 months old and there have been some updates after that.

5) I can also overclock my phone. And from what I read up, SetCPU seems compatible with the above ROMs. And after flashing my phone with a custom ROM, my phone is automatically rooted. Correct me if I am wrong.

6) Flash player isn't available for our processor (V6). Since this is a hardware issue, there's no way i can make it work on some other ROM, can I? Because flash is a rather important software..

So that's it, I guess. Please add anything if i missed out anything.

PS : Does anyone know of any software using which I can download YouTube videos? Because the YouTube app kind of sucks, and buffering takes time since I don't have WiFi.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhirend_6d:
Wow!! Those are a lot of questions.

1) Link for ODIN.

ODIN>http://goo.gl/nCxCw

OPS FILE>http://goo.gl/ORin0

As for the backup software, Titanium backup is the best out there. As it can backup all the apps and all the settings. Yes you have to be rooted. So root and use.

And for rooting, use this tutorial,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1011555

Don t worry about the oldness. This works. The link for superoneclicjk is available in that post as well.

Yes. Kyrillos is a good ROM. As it is prelagfixed and offer good internal memory as well after you partition your SD. Sizes, 512 MB ext4 and 128 MB linux swap. Rest of the memory you can use for storage. :)

As far as overclocking is concerned, in Kyrillos, you again have to flash a new kernel if you want OC.

And for the flash problem, only adobe can solve that problem.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhirend_6d:
And oh yes, most of the custom roms are prerooted. So after flashin you don t have to root again.
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anant.0097:
The rom is downloaded on your pc and flashed through it using odin.

I don't know any apps that work on stock rom and not on custom rom..... and 4shared works on kyrillos and indroid..... i've used it myself..

Most custom roms are already rooted and setcpu is the best app for setting CPU frequencies.

And as you said flash player isn't compatible with armv6 processors like ours.... so unless adobe makes it compatible no custom rom can do anything.

and for downloading youtube videos i'll suggest an app called you tube downloader or tube-X.......

Hope this helps... :)

Kernel

I flashed the indroid 4.0 Rom with Odin, and in short I will probably try to flash the indroid 4.3 Rom.

One question however, More and more I read about "kernel"(eg to get the 1% battery thing).

I know the kernel is the core of the operating system, but I don't understand how to use/apply it on my phone. Is the kernel something I have to flash separatly from the Rom, or is it included in the Rom?

If you need to install / flash it seperatly, where can I find the different kernels, and which one is recommended for my phone (Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo)?

Hope someone can answer!

thnx
[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhirend_6d:
The kernel is included in the ROM itself. There are different kernels with different functionalities. For eg : - Most of the kernel that come with the ROMS are non-OC. So, if you want to overclock you phone, you have to flash the required kernel after flashing the ROM. The procedure is same using ODIN. Here s the link to the kernels.
