Hello, sorry for my bad english. I love my I love my SGS2 and my new Playbook too, but...

like I say in another post I have this troublePlaybook connected to Wi-fi but unable to browse)

I have my Playbook and I get wifi and browse without issues when I tether with my iPhone 4, public and private hotspots, my router, etc

I have my Samsung Galaxy s2 and with the hotspot function I tether without issues netbooks, pcs, ipad, iphone, tablets with android. all these get wifi and browse perfect. But Playbook not

My playbook is connected to my wifi hotspot (Samsung Galaxy S2) with full bars, but I am not able to us any applications involving internet or browse at all. When I browse it says "Error: Couldn't reslove host name". When load a page freeze at 33%, get white and not more. After a minutes the error...

I try rename my SGS2 to short, long, alfanumeric, etc. with and without passwords, reset both devices, etc. always the same error. I try with other android phones (but froyos not gingerbread) and works perfect like hotspots for my playbook

not troubles Playbook and others devices

not troubles SGS2 and others devices

It's specific incompatibility betwen sgs2 and playbook?

Please, what can I do?

Thanks to all

Please could someone help me.

I need an update.zip for CWM which remove the bootanimation.zip from

/data/local/

/system/media

/system/media/video

I put the files in these 3 folders and now, i got trouble with booting.

I dont know the right command for the updater-script to delete files.

I thought it´s a good idea to have an update.zip, for every time something goes wrong with the bootanimation.zip.

Thank u very much for your help.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BMWpokerAce:
Ok guys,

this thread can be closed.

I figured it out by myself.

The command i was looking for is:

delete("/system/media/bootanimation.zip");

delete("/system/media/video/bootanimation.zip");

delete("/data/local/bootanimation.zip");

Attached is the finnished update.zip which remove the bootanimation.zip from the 3 folders above via CWM.

My tablet came with a rather nice photo-viewer called Photo Browser 3D. It has a nice album-themed interface and cool page flipping but I cant make it see photos on my external SD card, it only sees photos on the internal one.

Anyone else using this know how to get it to scan the external card?

Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
I have the same problem with this app and the gallery.
[Acer Iconia A500] ben.marks:
Have you tried a reboot? apparently there is a known bug in Android that causes it to do this and delay before adding media.

Downloading an app like "ScanMedia" or "SDRescan" or "rescan media ROOT" (if rooted), install, then running that app before viewing the gallery or photo browser should work fine :) and will find all folders, internal or ex with photos :)..... AND saves rebooting!

EDIT: just got ScanMedia for my a500, works fine.
[Acer Iconia A500] beartrap:
No shortage of reboots here. I downloaded QuickPic, set the pictures folder to the external sd card and it loaded the pictures. I then went to the stock gallery and it saw all the pictures.
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
just an SDcard app scanner and all is fine... (also, clear the cache of gallery sometimes help)
[Dell Streak 7] PhyscoAssassinx:
i just bought a DS7 today i rooted it, installed CWM and flashed DJ Steves StreakDroid v1.3 Rom but now when i try to go to recovery(+ & Power) or the bootloader(- & Power) the dell logo flashes and the LED flashes red then it powers off again. Can anyone point me to the right direction to get back into recovery? tnx
[Dell Streak 7] dyle25:
also make sure ur dell is fully charged. use the pin hole by the sd card slot to shut down the streak the use nvflash. or you could try a restore using fastboot. if you can get in to fastboot you should be able to reinstall all orig files. you can then in stall CW using fastboot method. check the general forun look for nvflash restore. goodluck
[Dell Streak 7] PhyscoAssassinx:
Hey guys thanks for your help so I figured out whqt was wrong oddly enough if the dell streqk is below 65 percent it wont allow to boot to the bootloader.....

My daily driver now is MikG though...battery life is ok...but the UI on the lock screen from sense 3.0 is perfect for me.
[EVO 4G General] BonkyMoon:
Running MikG 1.03 here. Seems solid so far, loving the Metal skin and the various sense 3.0 touches. Would be nice to be able to overclock it a bit, but it's not a dealbreaker by any means. I'm fine with waiting for the kernel source and however long it takes people to build an overclockable kernel.

[Galaxy S II General] buckley8219:
Hi there,

I've had the galaxy s2 for about 24 hours and am very impressed with it.

I've rooted the device and had over clocked to 1.54ghz was getting scores of 4,000 plus on quadrant.

I wanted to look at some custom ROMS, so have installed the villain release. However, I think I've done something wrong somewhere, as the phone feels slower and the quadrant scores are 50% of what they were as stock (i'm sure this is down to me and not the ROM, not meaning to cast doubt on an awesome piece of work)

I'd like to return the phone completely to stock, so I wiped the user data in recovery mode and tried to reinstall the stock firmware, but the device is now stuck in a loop?

Any advice on how I can get my device back to stock?

Thanks for your time.

Buckley.
[Galaxy S II General] nbhadusia:
You need the read the VillianRom thread on the development section. It explains how to return to stock properly there.
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Yep. It's fairly simple. Did you install XWKE7 CF-Root kernel though? You should do that after installing.

To revert to stock,

turn off phone

hold volume up, home, power to enter recovery. Wipe data partition

Hold power to turn off phone

Open ODIN and enter download mode, flash stock ROM

should work fine :)
[Galaxy S II General] buckley8219:
Whoops no I didn't the root kernel...

I know i'm just embarrassing myself now, but do you have a link to the file?

I followed the steps you mentioned to take the handset back to stock..

Gathered I should have been installing this...

I9100BUKE1_I9100BUKE1_I9100VODKE2.TAR?

That's when it started looping..

Looks like I have a lot of reading up to do ha..

Thanks for the quick replies..
[Galaxy S II General] buckley8219:
I have installed the kernel as suggested.

Sorry to be pain but can anyone supply a link to a stock rom, i'm on vodaphone uk?

I have searched and can't find one, thanks..
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
Just use an unbranded one from intratech's thread.

For CF-Root kernel, just go to the dev forum and search "CF-Root" and get the XWKE7 one :)

Very Good NEWS!

Now this is a very good thing! Flash for our phones, we all have swiftdroid and aosp 2.3 gingerbread to get this working. Our Processor is a 600 MHz Qualcomm MSM7227. Overclockable to 900mhz
[GT540 Optimus General] mikegapinski:
Swift is like iphone 3gs in hardware ... flash should work nice there :D
[GT540 Optimus General] nobooya:
Swift like 3gs?

arm11 600MHz vs cortex-a8 600MHz (downclocked from 800MHz)

adreno 200 vs SGX 535

CPU and GPU are around 3-4x faster than those in swift
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
I don't think this means Optimus will get Flash 10.1.

Here's press release from Qualcomm site.

http://www.qualcomm.com/news/releas...capabilities-across-multiple-tiers-qualcomm-e

The process mentioned seems to be a new processor that is yet to be release/just released.

http://developer.qualcomm.com/dev/chips/msm7x27-chipset-family

It says,

ARM11™ applications processor running at 600 MHz

ARM9™ processor running at 400 MHz

QDSP5000 high performance DSP running at 320 MHz.

ARMv9 is included here. It doesn't mean ARMv6. However, this appears to be a cheaper processor which would replace ARMv6. MSM7227 600MHz is mentioned nowhere in the article. Of course, you could try emailing the contacts listed at the bottom asking for details. xD
[GT540 Optimus General] m1st3r1:
@nibras: no, u're wrong. Arm11 is armv6, while arm9 is older version of arm. Arm11 is instructions that introduced in armv6. Armv7 has arm cortex instructions. Just Google them. urself .

N how can u say our phone's processor isn't included? The web says msm 7x27, if u change the x to 2, Viola it's our phone's processor.
[GT540 Optimus General] nibras_reeza:
I know ARM11 is ARMv6.

My bad. I read the ARM9 as ARMv9, the next generation processors(instruction set). lol

Adobe maybe making the move finally. They are now allowing packaging flex apps for iOS 3.0 and upward.

But, Flash needs to die. It's in Google's hands. As soon as Google starts pushing HTML5 with Youtube, Flash will need to die.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Warren_Orange:
Hi.

After getting my HD2 last week I tentatively but successfully flashed my first ROM, which was the Rafdroid 4.0.2.

I had correct radio.

I installed HSPL 2.08.

I installed MAGLDR 1.13

I got the Rafdroid ZIP file

Prepared SD card with Primary Partition and 1GB ext3 partition.

Downloaded the 400MB CWM partition and flashed to HD2

Then installed the Rafdroid Zip from SD card via CWM.

Everything seemed to go fine and I've been using the Rafdroid for a week. But now I want to try a new ROM, specifically the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.7 ROM.

Now I'am a bit unsure on how best to proceed still being new to the world of NAND. A few things in the Nexus ROM thread confuse me.

Installing CWM_Recovery_for_NexusHD2 (135MB system and 2MB cache)

Does this mean I need to reflash to CWM partiton size 1.3v 150MB? I'm unsure what the 2MB cache means.

Enter ClockworkMod Recovery when you're on MAGLDR 1.13 (hold "Power" button during boot) and select "AD Recovery" or "Boot AD SD" (if ever copied CWM's initrd.gz and zImage to SD).

The first part of this I understand but I don't know what the bold bit is. Do I need to copy these files to my sd card? I didn't do anything like this when I flashed Rafdoid.

Thanks for your time. Hopefully a few pointers can get me on my way :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Yes, reflash cwm but with a different partition layout.

(look in cwm folder find flash.cfg, open it in notepad, you will see the numbers to change)

The bit in bold - ignore that, there are two types of cwm, one that installs to the nand, like you have, and one that runs from sd, so ignore the sd bit.

So,

Into magldr,,

usb flashing,,,

flash the new layout with the sizes the rom suggests, (you can tinker with your own sizes as you get used to changing, it's the system size that is important, a few meg bigger than the unzipped size of the system folder in the rom.zip)

When that completes, back into magldr,

Ad recovery (option 8 I think) to boot cwm, and flash the rom.

You can set the system size to what you like, so long as it is bigger than the roms system folder, but anything over is wasted, it doesn't count towards internal storage, so if the rom says 135 and you flash 150 layout, there is 15meg wasted space. (that being said, 150 is a good size to use, since quite a few roms use that or smaller,, sense free roms will mostly all fit in 150 layouts,) meaning you can switch between them without flashing cwm again. Also means you can restore cwm backups from any of them into that layout, so you can set one up, take backup, flash another, take backup, flash a third, then any time restore either of the backups.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] volv:
Use flash.cfg to change partition.. Btw. I read in NexusHD rom topic you need to flash 135MB system and 2MB cache.

About the second problem:

Just make sure you have zipped rom on your sd card, enter MAGLDR, select AD Recovery and flash zip.

I think the second way is possible if you manually copy those files, never tried it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Warren_Orange:
Hi Sam and volv.

Many thanks for taking the time to answer my queries!

Should I get rid of the Rafdroid sd card layout and just re format the card to FAT32? I don't think I'll be going back to it.

Another thing about the backup - where are they stored - in the NAND memory or on the sd card for loading back into NAND?

Everything else you've posted has been very clear and super helpful. I'll definitely be a lot more confident at flashing the ROM tomorrow!

Thank you.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

Before starting anything,BACKUP YOUR STUFF.

Go to ad recovery>backup and restore and make a backup of your current system and data.This is stored on your sd card in clockworkmod/backup.

Next ,flash your new partition.

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

Then go back and choose install zip from sd card(having placed your new ROM zip on the root of your sd card using a card reader)

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
Most roms support using the ext partition, so definitely keep it.

Before you flash, in cwm, do a 'wipe data/factory reset','wipe cache', and then 'advanced - wipe dalvik cache'. This will clear out the data and such from the previous rom, so no need to format it. (there may be some leftover folders from certain apps in the fat32 partition, you can manually delete them as and if necessary, shouldnt cause any problems)

backups get saved to the sd card, in a folder called clockwork, so be sure and back that up if you plan on formatting your sd card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Warren_Orange:
Hi again.

I just want to say the flash went like clockwork (no pun intended :p) The NexusHD ROM has a really nice feel to it. Its my first taste of stock Android and I like it.

I was going to sell the HD2 and keep my old Hero, but I'm not so sure now after trying NEXUS HD ROM.

Hmmn decisions decisions.

Once again thanks for all your help. It definitely filled in the missing blanks.

Ta Ta :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hempyms:
you can use every flash.cfg and change the values to the needet. Run the flash tool and after that flash the zip via recovery
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] itsWLM:
in the unrooting tutorial it says to enter recovery and connect the micro usb cord. would it be the option that says mount /sdcard in clockwork recovery?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
if it just says to connect the usb cord, then you dont need to mount it. If you want to mount the card for some reason, choose Mount USB Storage.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I'm awaiting delivery of my SGS2 (tomorrow!), so I can't be sure about this, but I'm 99% sure.

Freeze the email app and forget about it. Try using the gmail app instead. You can set up your gmail account to collect email from other providers. I stopped using Hotmail and a pop3 account months ago when a friend told me about this. You need to set up the email accounts via the gmail website, rather than in the app, but it works a treat.

Not for everyone, I'm sure, but it solved all my email woes across every ROM I've flashed since.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlhunt3r:
As far as I am aware, gmail cannot collect mail from ms exchange. Plus, you'd loose the other exchange features such as calendar/tasks etc. It should be something simple to allow auto correct etc on the email text box?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
You're correct - it can't get mail from an exchange server. But, if you're just using pop3 then it works great.
