[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwizard:
Hi.

I have a major issue woth SGS2.

I have to make calls from a earphone and a motorcycle helmet, also with no internet connection avaible.

So I bought Cyberon Voice Commander (Italian versione).

It works very well, but when i press the button on the earphone, it starts the stock samsung voice recognition software, whic requires internet connection and doesn't work very well.

I can't associate eraphone button with cyberon.

I have contacted Cyberon, the answered:

"Here I'm sorry to inform you that we found on Samsung Galaxy S II, the Bluetooth handsfree profile (for voice dialing) was not implemented as Android's standard definition. Thus when user presses the BT button, only built-in voice recognition app will be launched automatically. We're really sorry for the inconvenience. Before Samsung fix this issue (if they will), if you'd like a refund please send us your order number. Thanks for your understanding in advance!"

Is there a way to remove samsung stock voice recognition software and associate cyberon with earphone and possibly also with home double click?

I am very unhappy by now!

Thanks!

FIXED!

I have found a fix!!

* Root your device

* Set google as default voice recognition instead of vlingo in settings>voice recognition (not sure this is important to do)

* Install Titanium backup (i Have paid full version, but probably you can use free

* Disable "comandi vocali" (Italy) which in english should be like "voice commands"

* Than I have cancelled the BR pairing, restarted the phone and paired BT again...

* Set Cyberon to use long press bt button to start

IT WORKS!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray Adams:
What about same fix but without root?

I also need fix to disable standard Voice Talk and use Cyberon Voice Speed Dial.

It was worked fine before KE7 firmware was released :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwizard:
I believe it's hard

I think it's hard disabling built-in voice commands without rooting.

Also the "tasker" metod I used before needs the kill process with rooting rights option to kill voice command process and run cyberon.

Cyanogenmod for samsung galaxy s2 is quite ready and it will not have samsung apps anymore, but I guess you won't install it since you won't routing.

My personal consideration is that with every kind of device you can't expect it to do everything you whish unless you work "hard" on it.

I have choosen an open platform like android because is very simple to root and you can always chose an alternative rom to make the phone exactly as you whish.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray Adams:
I understand that sometimes custom rom could helps you. But I really like factory rom on SGS2, no freezes, very fast. I really see no reason to flash home cooked rom's and after that scream on each forum , that something doesn't work :)

Anyway, with prev. firmware everything was okay, but not with new one. And I really hope that this can be fixed without rooting. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwizard:
Yes. I think you're right. I'll switch to a custom rom only when it will be really stable and fast.. I have messed up with custom rom for years on WM, now I want a little relax!

But rooting is not a custom rom.. my rom is the latest leaked from samsung (android 2.3.4), than I rooted and disabled build in voice recognition to enable Cyberon. The rom is still the original. Also now I can make full backups of the entire rom in case of corruptiom, failure or something other. Anyway noone is forced to think rooting is better. I hope Samsung will fix voice command incompatibility for anyone!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray Adams:
So as I can see there is no fix yet available even with latest leaked firmware?> That sad!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lwizard:
Latest leaked

Well. I can't assure you latest firmware doesn't fix it.

I think it doesn't fix, but I used the modified version of the firmware that doesn't require formatting, so build in voice recognition was already disabled.

Someone should try e clean install of latest firmware 2.3.4 and than install cyberon to see what happen..

For now I'm happy this way.

Hi all!

I experienced a couple of issues with my tablet, but nothing crazy as far as now. I was still considering an exchange instead of a refund.

I have a faulty jack port, bad speakers balanced (corrected after root), and like every body else, bad battery monitoring with the dock losing charge while doing nothing. Some light bleeding, but minor and I didn't really cared. Oh and also, bad LED lights behaviour on the dock, which may be corrected with a dock firmware update, or not.

Anyway, the even worst surprised today is that my power adapter is dead. This is too much for me. I am really disappointed by Asus quality. Honestly, I can deal with some software issues, I can admit that such a complicated design like a tablet may lead to a faulty jack port (and even that...) but, really, a wrong design in the power adapter TOO ? How such a common and basic thing can go wrong ? And it is not like I have done something crazy with it, just plug it on the main to charge the dock/tablet and that's it. After 2 weeks, dead.

Asus, maybe you should reconsider some bits of you engineering process and especially the quality checks parts.

So my decision is taken, I will send it back and that's it. No more TF101 for me. I may wait for the next generation (October ?) hoping that the first generation was a test but maybe not. I will see. I liked the tablet.

We are not talking about a $1 toy and I clearly expected another quality paramount.

This is sad, when it works properly the tablet is good for the use I am looking at and the keyboard with extended battery is simply smart and useful. When you can charge it...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Get ready for the crazy fanboys to troll your thread with messages like "Mine is fine so you must be imagining it" or "You're in the minority" and then finish it up by calling you a troll. :rolleyes:

You listed some issues that I forgot about. You're lucky you're taking the easy way out. TD doesn't allow refunds so I was forced to send it in to Asus on my dime. Counting all of the issues this device is plagued with will run you >$100.00 in postage alone to send this POS back.

Now I hear the B6O revision is better and it makes one feel like ****. B6O should have been what the device should have started with. They ripped everyone off.

Apparently this is lost on the fanboys.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] polytan:
I think that I was part of the fanboys when I firstly received my tablet/dock. But each day was a new bad surprise.

On the good side, amazon does a very great job. They pay back everything : product+shipping costs+cost to ship back and insure it. We cannot expect better that having a product we don't want to send back.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
fanboys are an unfortunate part of forum life. if you think they're bad here head over to the archos forums. you cant say one bad thinb wighout someone telling you it's your fault and that your expectations are too high. i rma'd my archos 4 time befor giving up and getting transformer. While i love my tf, i did exchange my first one for light bleed and dead pixel. current one is not perfect,but well within my tolerance level compared with my archos.

i think qc is a problem across the tablet spectrum right now. for the price i do think the tf is the best deal going.

that said ignore the fanfoys and do what in righg for you. the acer is not as nice and a little heavier, but has better build quality for the price.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Bateluer:
How do you tell what revision you have? Is it printed on the exterior of the tablet? Ie, can I check something like that while I'm in the store easily?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Globespy:
Funny, I seriously considered the iconia before getting the TF, just knew that I could not live with the screen as I often work with my tablet in direct sunlight and there is quite a difference between the iconia and say the TF or galaxy tab 10.1.

Sorry you had many issues with your machine.....for what its worth, I've boughtAsus products for 15 years and they are usually good quality, but every manufacturer has issues here and there. Hope it works out for you :-D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rpavich:
yeah....anyone who's satisfied with their purchase is a "Fanboy" and anyone who's plagued with problems is "to be expected"
[Eee Pad Transformer General] starplaya93:
Welcome to xda's technical support for the TF. We are here to listen to all of your complaints and issues. If we seem yo not care, it's because we don't. Feel free to continue spamming our forums with all of your unproductive and useless threads. We look forward to your feedback.

Good day

PS. I am not a fanboy. Just a veteran xda user who is getting tired of the load of bull**** on these forums. Feel me?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gottahavit:
no anyone who pops into every topic that is discussing an issue just to tell everyone that either the problem doesn't really exist or you should have researched more, or what do you expect for the $, is a fanboy. also they tend to reply to posts asking about quality with comments like.."there are almost no issues,ignore what you read about issues, only the few with issues actually post, so they look more common than they are".

;-)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Underwater Mike:
The serial number is on the bottom edge of the tablet, near the charging port. It's also on the back of the box, along with other info and some barcodes.

Good luck.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Yeah, because technical support here is so farfetched. Listen if you want to be an asshole, that's your prerogative but don't act like there aren't people here who want to help people. So your implicit statement that there is no technical support here is false on its face. Ya feel me playa?

Asus Technical Support is so bad the users have to get it wherever they can. Oops. :rolleyes:

Yeah, this would be funny if you weren't unintentionally acting like a dumb ass to try to gain some clout.

It's actually anyone satisfied with their purchase but believes that the existence of someone who is unsatisfied with their purchase due to massive issues is about as likely as a unicorn or a leprechaun and his pot of gold.

You wouldn't happen to fit that description would you? :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
Yep ... sums up my sentiments too.

Not a fanboy. I have a couple of small issues with my unit but, to be honest, i have similar issues with laptops, tvs, cameras, phones also. Problem is with sites like this you often start to notice things that the average Joe wouldnt even spot.

What Im getting fed up with is posts telling us that people are returning their units ...

Check out the Apple forums, or the Xoom forums, or the Samsung forums. EVERY item has faults. Maybe technology is moving too fast for production quality to keep up ? who knows ???

Ive found XDA great over the years, and the forums are very helpful. The problem these days is that the forums are getting clogged with people who seem to think everyone is interested to know that they are returning their unit ?? why do we need to know ??? utterly pointless and just a product of the Facebook era probably ....

Seriously ... if you have a question... use XDA. If you have an issue ... use XDA. If you just want to tell us whats going on in your life PLEASE use facebook.

There are lots of people who want help and want support - or people who genuinely have hints and tips. Problem is you cant see their posts as they get lost amongst all the other drivvle people post.

Hopefully you will find a unit that suits you but I assure you that every unit is prone to problems. Show me a forum for any item of any make or model where nobody has found a fault or ptoblem and ill eat my hat.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Also, let's cut this hypocritical nonsense out. If someone posted a thread about how much they loved the TF none of you would be raging over it. But when someone posts a thread about giving up on the TF you're all raging over it and how inappropriate it is.

The statement that these kinds of non-technical posts don't belong on here is laughable when you consider the double standard. If there are going to be threads for people who are throwing themselves all over the TF, there are going to be threads for people to explain their displeasure. Anything else is one sided and biased.

Of course you'd go for that if you were so insecure you couldn't handle someone reading something negative about the TF.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
Im not insecure. far from it.

No problem reading negative stuff. If you check my posts ive had problems.

BUT

We dont need a thread from EVERY person who decides to leave. If you really think that the General forum needs a new thread from every person who has decided to return their TF then you are either very stupid or a genuine Troll.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
The number of people who have left is far greater than the number of people who have made threads. I've been watching this forum for a while and I can tell you right now that the number of "I'm leaving" threads that have sprouted are far too little to warrant your kind of response.

You act as if there are twenty per day, all clogging up the main page. This is certainly not the case. This is not a major epidemic.

To think two different people can't make a thread on their experience and why they're leaving is absurd. This isn't four threads discussing the same tip on how to reset the the device. Each story is unique and therefore a separate point of discussion.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] wilbur-force:
more than happy for everyone to post their 'unique' experiences ... in one single thread !!!

Then all those who want to share know exactly where they can find them !!

Everyone else can see 'the wood for the trees' .....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stealthl:
The easiest way is to look for the black sealing tape on both sides of the box. The B60K,newer version, will have black instead of green tape.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
The problem that I have is that there are bizzilion threads on here with people *****ing that there Trasformer is a piece of crap. Everytime someone wants to complain they start a new thread which is getting a little out of control.

I have complaits about the Transformer but I did my research first. I knew there were problems with it just like any new product.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] garak0410:
Where do you go to check if you have the B6O revision?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Tubular:
Serial number on the box or the back lower of the unit.
[Droid X General] theflyingfeldman:
I'm here from the incredible forums and I'm trying to help out a friend with his X. It's stuck at the splash screen, stock rom/kernel, used zroot.

Thanks in advance
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
You need to boot into recovery and try a data wipe.

Do a battery pull then hold home and power. When the android pops up press the search button.
[Droid X General] theflyingfeldman:
Home and power gets me the Motorola logo
[Droid X General] skennelly:
You need to hold home and power till the m shows. Then let go of the power key, but continue to hold the home key until the android appears.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] uppon2:
Good luck mate :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] deiviniven:
thanks, I try it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
This is just the plain CRT effect. No custom roms, no pre-made files or anything. (You need root)

I've searched for this on XDA, Google, other forums etc. but I couldn't find it.

It always showed up ROMs including this feature, not the actual feature itself

DO A BACKUP BEFORE EDITING ANY FILES!

Also, you need root

Transfer the framework-res.apk file back to your phone, and then switch it with the original one :)

You must reboot to make it work!

CWM Flashable template
[Galaxy S II Android Development] yousif666:
Thank you very much, Worked :D

tried it on KF2
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rawat:
Don't forget to share what you make mentioning what fw it is from
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Doesn't matter, it's integrated in every Android 2.3 devices.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] viva.fidel:
thanks for this, could you possibly make a similar "how to" for the overscroll glow effect?? Been searching everywhere and can't find a simple guide
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
I'll see what I can do ;)

Edit: Looks like there's something wrong with my firmware.. I don't have a classes.dex files within framework.jar

And it's hell of a process to do it, so I might have to re-concider this :/

Edit 2: I dont have a deodexed rom, and when I try to deodex it, it fails :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] fuzzl:
Is the Pixelbug still there?:)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] DooMLoRD:
i think metamorph app supports editing system files... can u make a compatible zip?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Sorry, I'm waaaaay to lazy to create a zip compatible for every single firmware out there. I can't take a framework file from KE2 and think it works on a phone with KF3..

Pixelbug?

No idea what that is, but I can't see any pixels being stuck or anything.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sackynuts:
Thanks, but...

Would you like to explain step 5 a bit further? I'm a bit confused. I'm using apk manager and it asks me a bunch of things and you don't tell me where to overwrite the arsc-file, etc.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Ah, so sorry.

Open the original framework-res with WinRar. And do the same with the modified. In there you'll see the resources.arsc file :)

If you don't know how to use APK Manager, use google.

Not trying to be rude, I'm just in a little hurry ;)

I'll ask a mod later if he can move on of my posts up, and then I can perhaps create a more user friendly guide :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] viva.fidel:
No worries, thanks for having a look though :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Well, I can take a further look, but only if you upload your framework.jar file and then send it to me.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Rawat:
I read your thread, and know what you posted.

What I'm saying is that if someone makes the anim for example KF3, it would only take a few seconds to upload so other people could use, while diy CRT anim takes at least 5 mins even if you know what you're doing.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brianmay27:
So to send a file to system in adb I used

abd push (new apk with mods) /sdcard // used to temp move it
adb shell
su
mount -o remount,rw /system
mv /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk

Is that what you were asking?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] viva.fidel:
That I can do no problem, appreciate you willing to look into this, used to have CM7 on my old HTC Desire and missing the overscroll effect! The only how-to thread on this I could find was [MOD][PORT][04-16] Android 2.3 Overscroll Glow MOD for Galaxy S I9000 (Gingerbread) but it's only for specific SGS firmwares, might be of some help to you still
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheSopranos16:
Hmm...I don't have a res/values folder (just res, there is no values). There is also no Books.xml anywhere in the apk. I'm on stock rooted KE7...Is the value somewhere else on my version? Am I doing something wrong?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] brianmay27:
And you decompiled it right? I know i you were to just open the apk it would have a res but not res/values.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] infra4800:
I followed the instructions ... and used APK Manager, I complied, signed, and before i quit it asked me to delete a file...resources.arsc

do i have to do that?

also, i noticed the APK Manager made signed apk of less size as compared to original file

original apk file size = 8.05 mb

complied, signed apk = 5.16 mb

is that normal?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] mrvtec69:
yeh same thing happend to mine, works fine though also use LCD Density to change the DPI to 240 to get rid of the pixelated crt animation
[Galaxy S II Android Development] EarlZ:
Can all of this be done on a non rooted phone ?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Its because of the magic of Winarar/7zip :)

It compresses resources.arsc file from about 3MB to 1MB

Awesome, I'll take a look :)

Nope, sorry :(
[Galaxy S II Android Development] omar.abbas:
thanx alot.. you are the man, man!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] TheSopranos16:
How do you change the density and does it affect anything else other than the CRT animation?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Testraindrop:
I'm using LCDDensity app, and no it doesn't affect something else, since it only alter the density from 240 (original) to 240 (no typo :)), but bug is gone, until you press the power menu.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] infra4800:
i copied the original framework-res.apk with new modified one (5.16mb) one with Root Explorer and suddenly started getting errors saying so many processes are stopped

now the phone does not work !!!! :((((

anyone help please replacing the original framework-res.apk to root again !! please....

i do have backup and i can connect via bootloader odin
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gtda:
i had same issue

not sure what i did wrong but the framework didnt work

got loads of force closes, tried clearing caches and i got boot loop

had to flash in odin twice before my phone worked again

crt effect was so easy on my old sgs

why is it harder now? will there ever be a method of just flashing in cwm??

please dont answer with "just use a custom rom" because i dont like peoples themed roms. i prefer stock with a few addons

i was able to flash in cwm all the things i liked on my old sgs and it was so easy
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Just reboot the phone :D

Anyways, I can make a template for people to place their framework in, and then flash it with CWM if you want?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] hihihehe:
please do it!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] viva.fidel:
I've already done this, whatever you put it in the framework folder of this zip will get moved to system/framework, make sure you add your file first and then remove the existing file there (framework.jar i think) otherwise the folder structure will get deleted.. you'll need root and CWM recovery obviously to flash it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Sorry dude, that ain't gonna work :(

Updated the first post :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
CWM Template added ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] viva.fidel:
That updater-script in your template looks like it deletes a bunch of TouchWiz related apps, might want to look into it
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bruflot:
Worked fine for me :confused:

Hmm..

Fixing it now, gimme a min
