Ok, I'll give that a try. I tried ln -s /target/sdcard/gameloft /link/sdcard/external_sd/gameloft but it says no such file or directory. After some research, I think I know how to use that command, but it says operation not permitted, and su results in permission denied. I'm using ln -s /mnt/sdcard/gameloft gameloft. If I understand right, that should create a symbolic link called gameloft.. But it just doesn't want to work. I want to link /sdcard/gameloft folder to /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hEEGy:
First, you have to move your gameloft folder to your external_sd:

# mv /sdcard/gameloft /sdcard/external_sd

Then you can create the symbolic link:

# ln -s /sdcard/external_sd/gameloft /sdcard/gameloft

It won't work because it is vfat, needs to be ext4 or something like that to do symbolic links.

Lint'ning Rom vs Cognition S2

Hi there,

here it is a quote from my post from the XDA Lite'ning Rom thread, following a discussion about Lite'ning Rom developer that seems to have disappeared from the forum, and asking for any suggestion/good experience with an alternative custom rom with similar features...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] freemini:

- you can use Boat Browser from market. My favorite.

- you can use UOT Kitchen and generate your own battery icons and more.

- you can install the kernel you like after install the rom (ninphetamine 2.0.5 or 2.1.3) or any other. My favorite at the moment is SpeedMod K1-T40

Some apps don't show in market

Hi,

I'm running Cog S2 1.51 (and generally very happy with it), but have a problem with the market.

For many apps in the web market, I see message: "This item is not compatible with your device." I can't see these apps in the market on the phone as well (version 3.0.27). These app should be compatible with SGS2. I know its not a region/country related problem because message shown for that in web market is different.

Can anyone tell me why this might be happening and how I can solve it?

Given are links to apps I'm facing this problem with. If someone can even tell if these apps show up for them, then that'll be helpful as well.

hey guys, just bought the galaxy s2 2 days ago and this was the first rom i flashed, so far it has been very good, although im having a bit of trouble finding a stable undervolt setting (even if i just subtract 75 across the board)

and also i think it has some trouble connecting with our school's wifi (we use a wps enabled router with a wpa security) not sure if that matters (my galaxy tab has no trouble using the network)

anyway, just wanted to say im really enjoying it so far, keep up the good work! :D

Gameloft games run just fine from external SD if you patch them. Google for Auto_Patch_APK_for_Samsung_by_Duero__include_Java_.exe.

Works for (almost) all Gameloft games I have. Patch the apk using this program, create a Gl directory on external SD and move game files into that directory.

Why not make lemonade out of these lemons? Anyone who buys a SGS2 and explores the idea of rooting their phone discovers the XDA-developers site. Imagine a Market Section on this XDA-developers site where all of you developers cooperate and offer your apps. If that market specialised in apps for rooted phones it would provide a service that obviously all of us would buy from. It looks to me to be a business just waiting to be started.

Guess I will stick with 1.51 for a while, if no updates coming I will move on.

DG did tweet about a month ago, that he was getting a AT&T Galaxy S II on 19th Sep., but will still be supporting SGS II (European), tho selling his phone(SGS II European) after that doesn't look promising.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eranar:
he said on Sep 06 that he is moving to AT&T version of SGS2 on Sep 18.

then he said on the same day that he will continue updating the Euro version as well.

then on Sep 19 he said, "Well, no AT&T SGS2 today, Guess I am on hiatus until it gets released".

So who knows, maybe he will stay with us on the Euro SGS2 after all ;)

3. After calibration let phone fully discharge till it turns off

4. Charge till 100% no breaks

5. Use as normal

After i did that within a day the androidos was back to normal

Hey guys, I'm running Cog 1.5.1 with latest ninph Kernel, KI4 Modem and JKay 10.1 :)

But a have a real problem, I was installing some mods (trying to replace overscroll with bounce) and my phone failed to boot (stuck on boot screen).

The real problem is that I can't restore my nandroid backup!! It restores and boots successfully but things aren't completely restored, I'm missing all my apps!!! wtf!! It's really strange...

I tried manually restoring and I think the problem is when I restore data, it doesn't finish restoring that. Tried multiple backups and always the same.

Does anybody have any idea why this could be or how to fix it? I want to go back to my backup :( I had everything set up perfectly (Cog 1.5.1, KI4 modem, latest ninph kernel, JKay 10.1, and all my settings: homescreen layout of GoLauncher, JuiceDefender advanced settings, etc, all lost because I lost my apps!). I really really don't want to wipe and start from 0 :(

If anybody knows anything please let me know!

2/ do I need to wipe dalvik after kernel flash cuz I never wiped anything

[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
I suggest you calibrate your battery let it fully discharge after calibration and charge to 100%, speedmod is excellent I'm running it on stock frequencies without setcpu and now my battery is calibrated I'm 12hours in with 68% left.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rockin_Zombie:
You never need to wipe anything after flashing a kernel.

Thanked your post.

Secondly, While I'm on Wifi/normal usage my phone gets hot. Yesterday it got SO HOT that none of the touch buttons worked :-\

I'm experiencing all these issues, I undervolted on cognition previously with setcpu and I'm fairly getting 24+ hours of battery even on wifi.

Now, I hardly use my wifi and have to charge it often.

I remember having the same over heating issues on x20 and I was advised to reflash the rom. Do I have to flash everything from the beginning for better battery?

You have been very helpful for me since the beginning. It's hard to believe that there are still people willing to spend sometime for help.

Thanked as a token of my gratitude!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] nikzDHD:
Anytime mate, thats what we are here for.

My phone doesnt get that hot using speedmod. I suggest you start fresh, install rom with a wipe, flash kernel, restore apps only, if using speedmod don't bother using setcpu unless you want to underclock.

Once all done charge to 100% and calibrate battery using battery calibration or cwm. Dont use any battery saving apps like juice defender etc.

Once calibrated install betterbatterystats and monitor for 24 hours for wakelocks. Grab something like autostarts and disable apps from starting after powering on. Remove all Samsung crap if you dont use them.

Then you should get at least upto 24hours or more/less depending on your personal usage.

You can see from my screenshot I have minimal wakelocks, thats with 3g and gmail on push.
