[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tinderbox (UK):
I would prefer not to use one, but i am worried data stealing apps or ones that cost you money by making phone calls or texts.

There seems to be lots of free and payed ones around.

The battery life on the SGS2 is bad enough without extra software running in the background if i don't need it.

thanks

I've been using Android for quite a while now and would say it's not necessary at all.

As long as you're diligent in checking app permissions before installing anything you're not gonna have any problems. It's also a good idea to read through a few of the reviews on the market for any given app before installing to see if any other users are having any problems/concerns with it.

I'm using lookout, wouldnt say it uses much battery really. Never found anything yet though that is hopefully a good thing :)

Hey, first timer here and I have a question. I have a T-Mobile HD2 and want to install HyperDroidGBX-V12 and wondered if I am supposed to use this HSPL for it. I didn't know because Android and WP7 only support 2.08. So is this version correct for my phone?

Here it is: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893

Hi,

Before starting anything,BACKUP YOUR DATA.

Download THIS TOOL(Don't forget to thank him for his work)

Flash radio...download HERE Enter bootloader:hold down volume button when you power on phone.When you are on tri-color screen,insert cable to usb.When screen changes from "serial"to "usb",proceed.

Open HD2 Installer:

Task 29 (Enter bootloader:as above)

HSPL 2.08 HSPL (Enter bootloader:as above)

MAGLDR (Enter bootloader:as above)

(when magldr has loaded,power on and enter by holding power button until you see magldr screen.)

(when this is done,Go to ad recovery>advanced>Partition SD Card.1024m with 0 cache)

Repartition according to ROM requirements.(via number 5 usb flasher)

Then go to ad recovery and wipe data,cache partition,and dalvik(advanced).

Then go to install zip from sd card (which you should have placed on the root of your sd card,using a card reader)

reboot.

Give it time.Some ROMS take 15-20 minutes to install.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Shorter answer...

Yes, if your current spl is 2.x, you can use that. If your spl is 3.03 use hspl4. See my sig.

To see current spl phone off, hold and keep holding voldown tap and release power, when stripey coloured screen appears release voldown.

Or better still, just use hspl4 from the start.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Moe747:
Why HSPL4, Android or WP7 don't support it. I'm very confused.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] white-energy:
Cause it was updated especially to block any form of hacking on it to run a ported OS
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Hspl4is just the loader, using hspl4 to set 2.08.hspl is no different to using hspl3 to set 2.08.hspl.

BUT

If your spl is currently 3.03.0000 (meaning your rom is 3.14) then you MUST use hspl4 since it is the only one that can work with 3.03.0000

Yes. And because I'm in the military and the tech school I'm at everyone is on the same tower so my 3g download speed is 12-16kb/s

[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dingleberry1:
I recently picked up a TF and really like it so far. I have been using connectbot on my phone for making ssh connections, but this app doesn't format itself well for tablets.

Anyone have a favorite ssh client that works well on tablet sized screens?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] bithir:
I like ConnectBot on the TF - only gripe I have with it is it handling of the shift-key, mainly because of the keyboard dock being able to sort out shift-key without having a "sticky shift" key functionality offered to phones.

Anyone else using a different ssh client?
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] dingleberry1:
I'd probably be happy with connectbot if it supported landscape.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] SplasPood:
I use better terminal pro. It seems to work well with the tablet form factor as well as with the keyboard dock.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Tortel1210:

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] beenz:
You could always use 7zip to get into the file and replace all the .pngs that you want. But beware, there are a LOT of files that would need to be replaced. The battery icon alone is over 100 files. Signal bars is around 8, etc.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TheMuffStuff:
Statusbar_background.9, just change the color of it using photoshop or whatever
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TedLWJR:
I was wondering if I could get the all file or files and use root explorer to obtain the desired status bar.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitroglycerine33:
No.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adude247:
I've tried to change the status bar in the theme that I'm running to transparent using 7-zip and gimp, I can change it but when I reload my theme in recovery and reboot my phone, the signal bars have an X over theme and I can't make any calls. I'm not extracting the .png files just editing theme and saving the .png9 files with draw 9 patch, but still cant get it to work. Any thoughts?
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
You could use ninjamorph to decompile the framework-res and TWFramework-res.

Ninjamorph will decompile and recompile an .apk without the need to resign it. After ninjamorph decompiles the .apk use root explorer to copy the files you want to use, make sure they are named correctly. Now navigate to androthemes/workspace folder that ninjamorph created for you and now holds your decompiled .apk's and push the files to framework-res/res/drawable_hdpi or drawable-hdpi-v4 it will overwrite the exsisting files. Now go back to ninjamorph and select finish. It will recompile the .apk and ask you if you want to replace it. Say yes, then say yes to zipalign.apk and finally select no for clean-up.

Your phone will go black for about 10sec then reboot.. JUST WAIT it will reboot. If all went well your statusbar will be changed. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP 1st. Also you can go to youtube and watch a video on ninjamorph. Its a great app. If you need help just PM me....
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] GrainOsand:
If you already have the transparent images. Ninjamorph will work for you too. I first used ninjamorph to swap out my battery.png's it worked flawlessly. Go to youtube and search ninjamorph. Watch a couple videos. ninjamorph is free in the market.

Also you need to have transparency enabled. Simply swapping a solid image for a transparent one wont work......
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] TedLWJR:
Thank you for your help on this matter. I will start working on it immediately, again, Thanks
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] adude247:
I've gotten the status bar transparent, the only thing that I can't get is there is a thin black line on the bottom of my status bar, I've changed everything that I could think of but still cant get it to go away, I'm combining two themes now to see if that will work.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cockbeard:
Hi Guys

I've been trying out some newer ROMs but have lost track of which ROM I was using previously. It was one of the Cyanogen builds and the gallery viewer that came with it integrated with Picasa seamlessly. I had quite a few issues with my WiFi cutting out and not reconnecting automatically with it though, so would like to move to a new ROM

If someone can recognise this gallery app, can I extract it and add it to another ROM? As I'm rooted can I just swap it out with the existing viewer. What compatibility issues might I have? I'm computer savvy but pretty inexperienced with Android at that level and haven't used Linux for 7 years

All help and ideas appreciated, cheers all
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cockbeard:
Wow, no takers. I've been looking into it myself and what I think I'd like to do is grab the best bits of the various ROMs I've used. No disrespect to the guys who have been making some brilliant ROMs but I'd like to dabble with a deeper layer of customisation

Is there a "kitchen" programme that will allow me to do this for x10? Also how do I check a programmes compatibility with certain kernels and basebands? Do Android .apk files rely on external libraries or files like Windows do? If so is there a way I can check an .all's dependencies?

Sorry for so many questions but this is new to me and would like to get a handle on where to start. Thanks in advance
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spaarc:
You should try mixing around good ROMs with mixing features you might end up with something good

what you can also do is have fun with the apk's and the framework-res.apk

you can de-compile and re-compile them with x10 mod tool

HERE

You can also have a look at the androidmanifest.xml to check for dependencies

If it does not install you can use X10 mod tool to have a look at the LOGCAT

which will tell u the exact dependencies

All kernels for now other than stock depend on bb .52 right now

and baseband upto my knowledge does not depend on the apps

very much other than phone.apk and the wlan

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guerrillastyle:
Hi, I recently rooted my TB and I'm looking for a good stable ROM, RADIO, KERNEL combo to use…I've been reading a ton of post on the forum but not really finding the answer.

I was going to use das BAMF 2.0 (maybe remix). I know I would need the GB MR2 Radio. But what's a good Kernel to use…?

A list of some other combos that people are using would be cool…

Any help would be greatly appreciated…thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abn75:
I would personally recommend to use the stock kernel that comes with the rom for a while before changing kernels. get a feel for it, see how well it runs like that. then if you feel the need to change, you can look at some of the imo kernels.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jschecter:
Agreed. Just try out the the one you picked (das bamf) and stick to the kernel that it already comes with to use as a baseline for comparison. After you test that one out for a few days you can try different kernels/roms/combos. The reason why there are no straight forward answers to your question is b/c everyone has different performance and aesthetic preferences for their phone.

They both are the same base Rom. Changes/optimizations are listed in their respective threads. You will always get a mix of opinions on which is the best. They are also themed differently so oh will want to look at the screen shots.

[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
Ok I posted a few weeks back about my phone being a little laggy when I first started it up but it started becoming progressively worse even with closing all running apps in the settings>applications>running services thing cause I thought there might be a lot running but that didn't help.

So last night thinking a fresh start would help I reflashed the newest syndicate frozen rom and my phone is still being a little slower than I would want not to mention slower than everyone elses reviews. And on top of that my battery drain iis pretty bad (dropped like 20% in the last hour with moderate use).

So I was just wondering if there's any way to pinpoint what might be causing this (like certain apps running) or a way to try and correct it? Any help would be really appreciated.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] RushAOZ:
Not sure what it is but ill give my experience. A while ago I had the same issue. Turn out there was something wrong with the stock ec05 tar. I had a modified version and didn't know it. No matter what rom I flashed it didn't perform well. Also, I use my epic is my main form of internet use. Most roms and mods I dl str8 to my phone. Well, it also turns out that downloading roms str8 onto the sd card game me some errors. Probably because of some fault in the data. Redownload everything you need. When you odin back to ec05 format your sd card also. Should do the trick unless there's something wrong with your phone.

[Epic 4G General] tazfanatic:
One thing that might help is if you have Titanium backup or Mybackup Root freeze DRM content and SNS services. Also are you running setcpu? If so try removing it to see if that helps. If it does then your setting are off and you need to tweak your settings. Do you have journaling enabled? Another thing what kernel are you using? I liked Vision kernel over Twilight some have also mentioned Genocide being good also. I am NOT saying Twilight is a bad kernel just it does give some people issues with certain setups.
[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
Thanks for the response. I already had drm frozen, just froze sns (what does that do?), so we'll see how that helps. I also uninstalled setcpu to see if theres any improvement there.

Im running twilight kernel, maybe if the problems persist ill have to try out another one. With kernels all I do is flash? Will any info be lost or wil I have to wipe etc? Or just flash and your good to go? :)

Thanks again

I think I got the tar file straight from either the acs thread or tge midNIGHT rom thread, cant remember but it should be good I hope.

[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
Isnt the new syndicate based on ec05?

I'm definitely going to check into using the genocide kernel. I'm not quite sure I fully understand what a kernel does and what the differences would be to change so much? Do I have to clear data before flashing it?

[Epic 4G General] cconwing:
Ok so I reflashed and it was working perfectly, buttery smooth no lag nothing. I was completely happy. I charged my phone and used it until about 10% turned it off and replaced the battery with a 100% charged one I have as a backup.

Once I turned it on it began lagging again, as well as draining the battery quicker than before and on top of that it did an old problem I had that I didn't mention before which when you turn off the screen it turns back on showing the lock screen then goes off after about 5 seconds.

I have no idea what it could be and why it magically came bac after a shut down/reboot :/

Also if I switch to the genocide kernel do I have t reinstall all my apps again or does it just flash and keep all info? Do I have to wipe data/cache?

Thanks again :)

You have to wipe cache and dalvik, then flash Genocide. It will retain all data.
