As you see, this has moved to Q&A as it has nothing to do with development and is a question needing an answer.

To show no offence was meant.

Flash a custom kernel, one with clockwork mod included, you can then get full access to all files on the device, either via adb or doing a nandroid backup and then pulling the files to a PC for you to do as you wish with.

For the record, you XDA folk are amazing.

Are there folks out there by region that would help other folks such as myself (for appropriate fee, Starbucks menu-configuration) who are complete NOOB IDIOTS that would upgrade (change ROM) on our machines for us, or in the alternative, or show us how.

Info would be good to know and you guys good at same could make some....coffee money. Region of interest to me: central california.

Bless you for what you do.

Question: If I upgrade to a better ROM than out of the box, will I be able to use Adroid Market and do most normal things that an Android can do????

Thanks again. You guys that submerge yourself into this stuff are superheros!

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablokicks:
Honestly if you have an hour or two to read through the numerous walkthroughs that are out there for the G-tablet you will be fine. These are very forgiving, and even if you do mess something up, chances are more than likely you will be able to recover it. I would suggest not only reading up on how to root/flash a new rom, but read through and prepare to do an NVflash, so if/when your device sticks at the 3 little birds, you wont have to worry and can be happy (bob marley).

hey guys :)

Ok love all your work but Im so so confused still about some things, I was very happy with lite'ning ROM 1.4 and decided to try VillianROM 1.4 things didnt go so well, so then I decided to go back to LiteROM but the 1.5 version, once I had 1.5 up and running I noticed terrible stuttering and lag, I havent been able to fix it but I think it has something to do with my modem or kernal version.

I originally came from Australia Optus stock rom

Here is my current "about phone"

Baseband version: I9100XXKE7

Kernal version 2.6.35.7-19100XWKDD-CL161513 root@DELL103 #2

Build Number: Lite'ning ROM V1.5 XXKF2

I fear these settings are not correct.

I would love for someone to tell me if I have messed up and how I can fix this.

Have you done a full wipe between rom-switches, or did you just flash them over eachother?
[Galaxy S II General] harri077:
Goin from 1.4 Lit'ning ROM to VillanROM i did a full wipe via CWM. Then going to Lite'ning 1.5 I also did a full wipe. I tried to revert to Lite'ning ROM 1.4 but it didnt correct the issue. I feel as if something from the VillanROM is left on my phone and causing troubles seeing as 1.4 worked perfect prior to installation of VillanROM.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
CWM wipe everything and format system and data .

[Galaxy S II General] harri077:
Thanks, but can you be a bit more specific?? So I reboot into CWM and do a "wipe cache partition" and "Wipe dalvik cache" and then do a "wipe data/factory reset" and finally "partition SD card" ?? If I partition the SD card wont that wipe CWN recovery and android download mode ?? Is there any special steps I need to take for this ??

Cheers.
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Does not matter if you have f** your phone best start from scratch with stock rom ,your problem is probably not cleasn installs of multiple custom roms .

Format phone either via PC usb mass storage or more severe via CWM mounts and storage .Flash stock firmware and start again .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] harri077:
I appreciate ur help man but im just asking is "partition SD card" the right one and if I go through with this can I still access CWM recovery and Download mode ?? So I can reflash stock ROM ???
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Why partition sd card ???

You reflash stock rom the usual way via OdIn as your phone is wiped clean .

Hopefully all the junk is gone and that may include CWM phone requires re rooting anyway .

Its either that or mess about for days on end .

jje
[Galaxy S II General] harri077:
OK :)

Sorry I thought that was ment by complete wipe, Ok I will download my stock firmware and kernal, Is there a way to flash firmware and kernal at once in odin ?? or is it flash firmware first then kernal ?? Would both go under "PDA" option from odin ??

Thank you for your help
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
Firmware is full firmware includes a kernel as standard .

Flash as per instructions for that firmware but single file is PDA

Stock firmware .

i flashed my phone with stock carrier rom and still nothing has changed. what is the proper procedure to completly format the SD drive and literally start from scratch ??
[Galaxy S II General] JJEgan:
CWM >>> Mounts and Storage format options are there .

+ Advanced Wipe Dalvik Cache

Follow that from main screen and wipe cache and factory reset .

That dont fix it you need a service centre .

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testboy:
VZW tab cant't find GPS?

I have a verizon galaxy tab by verizon and most of the times gps was not working.

After reading tons of posts (poor gps, gps works only for the first minutes after boot, works only if wifi enabled...) and none worked i discovered that:

i enable gps using a shortcut (extended controls), that works on my european vodafone tablet, this does not work on verizon one? What is the difference?

For what i see verizon has a disclaimer popup when you enable gps from settings menu, and that is overridden by using a direct shortcut! Whitout pushing the agree button it seems that gps is active but not working!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
The graph only tells half the story. You need the other screen to determine what is draining the battery. Personally I think it won't make a real difference except if WiFi sharing is high, but you can fix that without rooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smartphoner:
I'm in this dilemma too, whether to root or not.

If ur satisfied with ur stock rom and u could almost do anything with ur phone without rooting, y take the step?

It all depends on what you want ? If you're happy with the way your phone is then stay as you are. The other mans grass isn't always greener :p

Go to the themed section and install draco's htc black theme. It comes with the four corners dock. If you don't want your x10 nice and black, find the SemcHome,apk and install it in system, it should work.

Any more files I will have to install?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] loger8:
Mmn ok, to install that you have to get root explorer first. Use it to copy the apk from wherever in /sdcard you have it to /system/app by pressing "Mount R/W". Then, hold on the apk and select permission. Untick all the boxes and tick the first column on the left and the first box in the middle column. Like this.

Reboot. Should work now. Take a look at this thread too. It is a new version of the 4 corners launcher, said to be better.

Hi to all SGS2 fans out there ;)

I'm a happy user of SGS2 but I noticed some problems during WCDMA usage. After few minutes of using 3G/HSDPA connection is still looking good on the signal bars but I'm unable to open any webpages/android market etc. I have to disable and re-enable data connection in settings to get it back working... for another couple of minutes..

Secondly I have short breakups during calls. When I'm talking to someone the phone mutes for a second. It doesn't happen every time - but it's quite often.

I'm currently using Lightning ROM 1.5 - but I had the same issues on 1.4, 1.2.

When I'm using GSM only - everything is fine.

Do you think I have a faulty unit?

After finding of a certain contact and tap on it I am receiving strange glitch of the screen and then the contact is opened. At first this thing do bothered me much, but now it starts to annoy me.

Does anyone has same issue?

And yes, I did a lot of hard resets, cleaning of the sd card and such things, but with no luck.

Does anyone has info about next firmware update, unlocking the bootloader, etc.?

Yesterday all my video playback stopped working. Just got a black screen. This was true in the video player of a vid I just shot, YouTube, Watch, and flash vids in the browser. All just black. Shutdown/reboot didn't fix it.

Eventually I did a shutdown, pulled the battery, re-seated the SD card, and when I booted up everything was working normally again.

Last night I turned off the phone and charged it overnight. This morning I tried playing video again and the problem is back. Nothing but black screen on all video.

I'm going to reformat the SD card and see if that helps.

Everytime I flash a new ROM and setup my google account it automatically restores 19 apps and something that disables my google navigation. I have tried going into privacy setting and uncheck backup assistant before I log in but it still for some reason backed up that data and screwed up my nav. Any one know how to get rid of backup adsistant?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeProcopio:
flash new rom, boot phone, before signing in to google, if your phone has file manager on it, go into system/apps and rename backup assistant to .bak....then you can sign into google and not have anything go through BA
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewhat:
Thanks I will try that
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revision78:
I _think_ that's handled in the google account settings not backup assistant. I don't know exactly the setting to change, but I get around it by setting up google account, not checking "backup my device data with google" and then if i go into the market and see it downloading apps i simply reboot phone before it finishes. It only does it the first time on the device for me. Since making a conscientious effort to remove the backup checkmark mine hasn't been doing it.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dalamar1320:
This.

also yo can go into settings>privacy and unchecked backup which should clear your existing Google backup.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewhat:
I did all those unchecking steps but for some reason it would continue to load some apps. Changing the name of the backup assistant app in root explorer did the trick. Thanks
