Long time abuser of Android devices and very happy with the SGS2. However, as Mac user, the tools required to mod the SGS2 are not Mac friendly. So I'm turning to the excellent minds of the XDA community to help me enjoy my device.

I run virtualization software which in the past was more than sufficient for any device I wanted to root, hack, etc. So using VMware installed Kies and downloaded the drivers fine (I've even manually installed the drivers to make sure I got them all). The problem primarily is with Odin. In download mode, the device is not recognized. So I figured it was VMware so I tried Parallels and Virtualbox with the same results. Even tried Heimdall which is supposedly more VM friendly but no luck.

Am I just overlooking something or do I really need to use a PC? Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated. TIA
[Galaxy S II General] cdd543:
Bootcamp. Doesn't work vm.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Are you using it with bootcamp?
[Galaxy S II General] yudi7:
I used Odin through bootcamp with no problems at all.
[Galaxy S II General] godutch:
But heimdall should run natively on mac and Linux, you just need mono.
[Galaxy S II General] Chivalryyyy:
? I thought EVERYTHING sucked for a MAC user.... :D
[Galaxy S II General] pulser_g2:
I have not got a mac, but have done the following:

ODIN on native PC

ODIN in VMware virtual machine (host = windows xp, guest = windows xp)

Heimdall in Windows (native)

Heimdall in VMWare virtual machine (host = windows xp, guest = ubuntu 11.04)

I don't know what the drivers are like on VMWare for OSX... But I had no issues in any of the above, beyond occasional glitches with ODIN that are likely due to poor coding, or just limited error checking, given it's internal software not really intended for our use.
[Galaxy S II General] TheGhost1233:
Bootcamp is the way to go. I also tried with vmware but I think there is some strange stuff with network sharing which messes up the usb connection, both to osx and the vm.
[Galaxy S II General] jlevy73:
Thanks everyone for your quick replies. Bootcamp did the trick.

Hello all. I appreciate all of the custom roms out there. I agree withe the fact that the touchwiz ui uses garish colors, but the additions actually tend to improve on android's functionality, unlike other skins lime motoblur. Does anyone have a copy of the stock calendar apk. It seems that gummy rom got rid of it and all the roms based on gummy don't have it. I would really appreciate it.

Hi there,

We've just developed on Motorola Defy an app for real USB Tethering,

Can anyone test it on Droid/Milestone?

It can share your Motorola's internet connection to your pc!

It's a real tethering not a simply MODEM Tethering, you should NOT pay extra cost to your Carrier!

The app is TOTALLY FREE, thread on xda:

Got a bluetooth device for my tab and it works fine with phone calls but unfortunately not so with skype, yahoo or similar app calls. Is this normal and if so is there a way to fix it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharaohnough:
My bluetooth earphones work perfectly fine with Skype- Sony bluetooth
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MutantWizard:
Does it even have anything to do with the bluetooth set or is it the tab or the apps that are responsible?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pharaohnough:
It's all about the Profiles

It does have something to do with the headset because some bluetooth headsets can pick up Skype calls while others cannot.

It all depends on what profiles the BT headset supports.

Both the Tab and the headset need to support the same profile (as with any two bluetooth devices working together)

This is explained briefly on the official Bluetooth SIG site

http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Help-with-Your-Devices.aspx

(scroll down to the bottom at the part titled "Make sure both devices you want to pair support the same Bluetooth profile")
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henrylam:
Yup, some BT headset doesn't work with GTAB. Strangely, but true.

The safest bet is to bring your GTAB to test with the BT earphone/headset before deciding.

Thanks for the info. Will see what I can find.

Hey,

I've designed my own MIUI Lockscreen based on the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen by dima_sk8er:

Video:http://img824.imageshack.us/img824/2463/ljfw.mp4

Download HERE

It's in German. If someone likes an English version, tell me. It's not a big deal, as many of you will probably know.

It's based on the Sense 3.0 Lockscreen by dima_sk8er, with some modifications, such as:

- Pulsating-Circle-Target ( I'll upload a video in the next couple of hours, looks cool:)

- Music-App-Starter (I couldn't find a way to add music controls)

- Different Time-bar

- App and SMS Count

- Battery-Level bar, and that's where my problem begins:

I made the battery-level-bar also show up, while the phone is not charging.

But it seems like the bar only updates after plugging it in and pulling it off again.

I tried updating the bar every 200ms by typing this:

<Image src="charging_progress.png" alpha="255-#battery_state*255">
<PositionAnimation>
<Position x="#battery_level/100*480-480" y="128" time="0"/>
<Position x="#battery_level/100*480-480" y="128" time="200"/>
</PositionAnimation>
</Image>

Unfortunately that didn't work as well.

Any suggestions? :)

Thank you

[Android Themes] egodemis:

[Android Themes] xavierjohn22:
What are you trying to achieve? That is an Image as i am looking at your post,

You want the battery level to update via image?

FYI,

The battery level bar only appears in charging if you have set a category="Charging"

The code above is for animation of the charging progress, if you want to animate the charging progress the code would be in my Galaxian Lock Theme as well as the for fun Benchmark i made

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11410704&postcount=2
[Android Themes] langersteff:
There is an animation for charging..WHILE Charging!

But take a closer look at the Code. The Image shows up while NOT Charging, because I want it this way. BUT there is no (visible) animation. The Position Animation should update the position every 200ms. You won't recognize any animation, unless the Battery-Level changes. At least: That is the plan. But it doesn't seem to work.

The Animation for the Charging Progress, while Charging works fine (check out the video).

And YES I want the Battery_Level updated via image, because there is no Mask, the image just changes the X-Position, depending on what Battery_Level you got.

I think there should be some kind of "update function" for the Battery_Level while not charging. When i plug in and pull off the phone it gets this "update" and repaints the battery-level bar in the way I want it to.
[Android Themes] xavierjohn22:
I can download and look at your theme and when i am on pc tomorrow.

Its hard to look at i almost forgot what it look like when i see this yesterday.

I Know what animation you are talking about. No problem.

[Android Themes] langersteff:
That's cool, thank you! :)
[Android Themes] xavierjohn22:
okay now i see what our little problem here,

The battery level position does not update when charge, i tried just a text with parameters battery level and it is stuck with the last percent charged.

If it is 76 when pulled out of the charger, it stays 76 even battery is down at 50 already, maybe thats why miui has put that in category charging for now.

thats the main reason why the image position dont get updated

And also maybe they dont bother because if you use top bar there is already that feature in the notification. I actually am using top bar in battery indicator style and when i load it i thought it was weird. lol, two bars. That top bar one is updating anyways so there might not be a need for another feature in the lock screen.
[Android Themes] Dreamer...:
Try this sample:

Alpha means this picture only display in non charging state, and will became transparent gradually along the unlocker dragging.

[Vega General] BlackTigerX:
Hi,

is there a way to open the case of the Vega, take out the screen and reattach it the other way round (180° turned)?

The reason for asking is that the Vega screen has a "much better" viewing angle when holding it the way that the webcam is at the bottom. Especially noticable when watching some movie.

Don't know what made them build it this way. :confused:

Guess it won't be that easy because the lcd screen has to be seperated from the glass front first and there might be the need for a longer display cable!?
[Vega General] Pai.Tincho:
Maybe you can rotate it but I don´t believe if the software will let you rotate it 180°. Sometimes in many apps you can not do this rotation only 90°.
[Vega General] bob1369:
probably possible but you have to edit accelerometer settings

- WIFI is always on (i used manual sync) Friends Stream, Weather, News and etc.

- Display settings = 70%

- Android Assistant 2.3.7

Today with ARHD 1.0.4 : Nothing really special except looking on news on XDA ans facebook + Usual sunc (Facebook, gmail). Wifi and GPS off.

Fully charged this morning (8h00) -> Still 80% now (WoWWW) :eek:
[HTC Incredible S] djbenny1:
ive had both ARHD and CM7 and for me, CM7 has been much better.

i always have wifi, mobile networks (2g+3g) and gps on.

syncing fb and twitter every 30mins, pushing gmail automatic latitude checkins and some 3 news feeds syncing every hour (although sometimes these dont work)

a few days ago, i didnt use the phone for much at all except those things and a few calls text - low "phone" usage AND the above.

it lasted me um.... just over 60 hours i reckon.

off charge 7.30am thurs morning, died on me on saturday evening about 8pm.

never thought id have managed that using a smartphone as a smartphone
[HTC Incredible S] Rykoshi:
Really 60 hours with minimum use damn, i do minimum use like just text, no calls, no internet, and i got only probably 1 day and 18 hours ~ 42 hours on ARHD. The last time i was on CM7 i think i pushed my INCS to about the same hours as ARHD but i always get this nagging feeling that ARHD has better battery life. I should really do extensive test but i dont have time ahahaha.
[HTC Incredible S] tontiv:
i'm getting around 18-24 hrs of normal usage. that's with wifi on almost all of the time and mobile data on for 9 hours. i'm getting almost the same with the stock rom. using arhd 1.0.4 btw :D
[HTC Incredible S] baste07:
i've seen guys say they have great battery performance while others don't with them on the same rom, can't really explain it.

but using the phone in minimum with data off and lasting more than a day is not really good for me. it's a smartphone, then use it as a smartphone.

id rather have everything n and then have to charge everynight
[HTC Incredible S] byted:
I guess I must use mine more than others. Using Revolution HD 1.0.4 and can get maybe 12 hours of usage on it. I don't use any battery managers or anything like that. I put on current widget. Seems that ~40mA is normal for idle (at least on mine)

Ok I followed the guide to deodex

droidxforums .com/forum/droid-x-themes/4620-how-manually-deodex-your-phone.html

Then I followed the guide here for the atrix by pushing the three apk files moving them to system/app and also ran the install.bat

Now I do not get any message when I plug in the HDMI cable. No media view or webtop... how can I fix this as i removed all deodex files first the first link.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandalf:
i assume you're using 1.8.3 correct?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandalf:
i ran into a similar problem to this about a week or two ago, searched the forum, and found this post --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1015630&highlight=webtop

Basically, what I did was:

Re-Flash a fresh 1.2.6 using RSD Lite

Completed the 2 OTA updates from AT&T until I was back to 1.8.3

Rooted with Gingerbreak and enabled Sideloading

Downloaded the "webtopmod1.1updatedv8" from the post above to my C:\ drive

Ran the included install.bat file and applied the webtop mod hack

At this point, I checked to see if the mod worked PRIOR to deodexing or theming

If all checks out, go ahead and deodex your phone using kennethpenn's cwm-ready zip

After deodex, install any themes, mods, hacks, whatever you want

Run the install.bat AGAIN because the deodex process overwrites the modded webtop files, however by running it PRIOR to deodexing, you created untouched backups of the stock webtop files, which the webtopmodhackv8 will call upon to basically "re-hack" the webtop for you AFTER you deodex (that is what I gathered from briefly skimming through that post, I wouldn't say I am an expert modder/hacker, but I've certainly been doing it for a while, and I have been visiting this site every day for several months now, until I recently have I actually felt confident enough to start posting)

After that you should see the option for Webtop Connector along with Entertainment Center when you plug the phone into a TV via the HDMI cable.

Well, i'm flashing 1.2.6 as we speak hope it works!

EDIT

Wow that was smooth! Now to get my apps back on and start over.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandalf:
alright, so you flashed 1.2.6 and have updated to 1.8.3 via the OTA updates, correct?

now, go ahead and root with Gingerbreak

and enable sideloading with GladEnabler, you need to place it in your C:\ drive, and have the phone connected as "None"

Once root is obtained, run this webtopmod1.1updatedv8

unzip the file, and move the contents to a folder in your C:\ drive. (i just named mine webtop)

Go ahead and run install.bat from C:\webtop , or whatever folder you placed the unzipped files in

once that's done and the phone has rebooted, you will now see the Webtop Connector option when you plug in the HDMI cable to the phone.

Following these steps, you will have a ROOTED, ODEXED, SIDE-LOADING-ENABLED phone, if you need help with deodexing or anything else just ask

I have linked the Gingerbreak from briefmobile.com, which is kennethpenn's website, and the webtopmodhackv8 from it's original post on this website
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cyris69:
Hmmm, gingerbreak doesn't work now.... how can I root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandalf:
ok you're on stock 1.8.3 unrooted..

just extract gingerbreak to C:\

make sure USB Debugging is ENABLED on you're phone, and when you plug it in to the computer, make sure it is connected as "NONE", not usb mass storage, windows media sync, or motorola phone portal.

once you've done that, run Gingerbreak from C:\ and you should see it on your phone after about 30 seconds

Then Internal Storage Unmounted

Then Stuck at Rooting... Running exploit... This may take a few minutes
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gandalf:
well once you have gingerbreak on the phone, unplug it from the computer so that it mounts both internal and external SD card to the phone, and can use whatever it needs to do the rooting process, and yes it may take a minute or two, but should be relatively quick. it will reboot and once it's rebooted you SHOULD be rooted.. you can download root checker from the Market for free just to be sure.
