[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakeystevo:
Afternoon all,

First of all I would like to point out I am a complete Android noob :p I make no secrets about it, have been a iPhone user for a few years with Blackberrys prior to that, so everything is new to me.

I decided to opt for the SGS2 for my newest phone upgrade and after a week or so of use the battery was terrible (holding only 6-7h max). I read through endless threads on rooting/custom ROMs and the likes and decided to try VillianROM 1.4, to help improve the battery.

Managed to sucsessfully install it with no major dramas.

However, I think I may have the wrong CFroot kernal installed. After installing the villianrom, one of the last parts is to update the root kernal, it stated to use XWKF2. mine currently states:

Baseband version - I9100XXKF2

Kernal Version - 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7-CL215725

Is this correct?? If not can someone point me in the direction where to download the correct kernal.

The phone is working fine at the moment and the battery is vastly better compared to how it was. I have noticed a problem with the music player, it seems to crash mid way through songs and re-boot, has anyone else had this issue? or could it be as a result of the incorrect kernal?

Thanks in advance,

Shakey

p.s - loving my Android experience so far and dont think ill be going back to Apple any time soon :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I would leave well enough alone if its working .

However the VR rom instructions say .

If you are installing from another ROM, or stock ROM, you need to be using the CF-Root kernel, as applicable for your current ROM. You can find CF-Root and

instructions at http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1103399

When using this ROM, I suggest the XWKF2 CF-Root kernel, from post 4 of Chainfire's thread.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakeystevo:
Thanks for the quick reply jje.

It does seem to be working fine, apart from the music player issue, ill put XWKF2 on and see if that fixes the issue.

Cheers,

Shakey

Thanks for the link Veyka, going to.download it now :)

Downloaded the file but its XXKF2 does this matter? can someone briefly explain what the first two letters mean? is it just a random pre-fix?

thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoney73:
The XX matches your baseband. so no worries.

Thanks :-)

long as i know ive got the right one thats ok.

Anyone had the same issue with the media player??
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamAir02:
Why are some devices coming with locked bootloaders and others unlocked? All of the Google I/O devices seem to be unlocked, but I've read mixed things on retail devices. Some have locked bootloaders while others have unlocked ones.

Are the locked bootloaders unlockable?

If I understand correctly, devices with locked bootloaders can still obtain root, but the disadvantage is that custom kernels cannot be flashed. Is this a correct assumption?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin Gossett:
The truth is nobody knows why some are locked and some are not. And as far as we know, the only way to unlock is by using signed keys from Samsung, which nobody has. As far as root and kernels are concerned, you are right. Locked bootloaders can be rooted, but the kernel cannot be switched out
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamAir02:
Thanks for the info.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedninja42:
Can you define custom kernel? My Samsung captivate is locked but I can flash a miui or cm7 kernel as well as the European version kernel of my phone.

I'm locked on the tablet but I can flash pershoot kernel.

Still unsure the disadvantage of my locked bootloader
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pokey9000:
The only thing you can't do with a locked Tab is use nvflash. The bootloader boots unsigned kernels and initrds. The locked bootloader will even let you ODIN in your own recovery so you can flash unsigned zips.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedninja42:
Thanks! I figured out the nvflash the first day trying to root and then later tried to use supercurio kernel, it kept me from flashing:(. But since I was able to use odin to do everything else and get CWM, I saw no disadvantage.

If I were take supercurio kernel and build it so its zipped for CWM, I can flash the kernel or am I missing the point?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cnewsgrp:
Is there a way to find out of bootloader is locked?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nakedninja42:
If you use an unlocked padlock during bootup then you are unlocked. If nothing shows up, your locked.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kevin Gossett:
Well screw me. Learn something new everyday! :o
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neuropass:
for the previous version of the tab there was an app developed from rotohammer that would tell you if the bootloader was locked or not. not sure about the 10.1.

I don't think the padlock thing apply to it though...:confused: Maybe someone else here has a better answer.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit140587:
That patch will not work on Galaxy Tab 10.1 ,

I have a Galaxy Tab 10.1 , in which i want to flash a customized kernel (downloaded the source code from opensource.samsung.com) but my bootloader is locked , and I am not even able to get the backup of my kernel image with the help SGS Kernel flasher, does all this because of locked bootloader ?

Any one have any idea how i should proceed to unlock my Tab and flashed custom kernel ?

Ok. I know its not as high profile as the Evo3D or Sensation but it was released at a similar time and hopefully has similar exploits that I will test tomorrow. (or as soon as work allows).

Feel free to comment as I will add to the first post any new details.

[HTC ChaCha] Moody:
Rooting is made easy for everyone then, just run any of the apps I mentioned above. Being S-OFF means the device is able to run custom recoveries as well. Could any s-off user contact me? I'll try compiling a recovery for you all to test.

[Nexus S General] SpunkyXL:
Initially messed up my Nexus when rooting. I was able to backup through clockwork..I now loaded a custom rom. Anyway to restore contacts/sms through the corrupted backup? :(
[Nexus S General] Maximilian Mary:
If you are looking for the texts you had before you did fastboot oem unlock, they are gone. Sorry. If you're looking for texts you received after fastboot oem unlock and before nandroid backup, you should be able to get those.

As for your contacts, google should have backed them up automatically. Go to http://www.google.com/contacts and see if they are there. Then go to settings - accounts and sync, and make sure background data and auto-sync are checked. If you still get nothing, the problem may be with with your current rom. Flashing a stock rom should do the trick.
[Nexus S General] SpunkyXL:
^Thanks for the reply...Not all my contacts were saved via Google contacts..I am hoping there is a tool or app which can modify the nandroid img so I can restore my contacts/txts

Has anyone tried Quick Office Pro on the flyer? I know that it doesn't show up in the market but you can load it from the amazon app store. I have been using documents to go. It is okay but after I saw my friend using quick office pro on her Evo I would really like that app on my view but I would like to be sure that it works properly.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] madnlooney:
can you not test it and if it doesnt work to how you like un install it?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] ElAguila:
I can if I want to spend $15 to get it. I was kind of hoping for some info before spending money on it.

Is there a hotspot app for MIUI

Edit: didnt wanna make 2 posts. but is there a way to get netflix working on MIUI
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
1. There should be a native tethering app, if not, you should be able to download wireless tether from the market and it'll work.

2. As far as I know [don't run MIUI] but the latest netflix does work. Its AOSP, as is CM7, so it should be working.

Edit: Thanked you for using common sense and using the EDIT button to add in your second question. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Wouldn't using Wireless Tether bork tethering on AOSP ROMs? I thought that there was a thread back when discussing it and the need for a specific file for it to work.

For built-in tethering, go to Settings, Tethering and Hotspots, and Wireless Hotspots should be right there.

Netflix works on mine, are you on the newest release of MIUI and the most updated Netflix?

[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
The description says:

Requires a phone running OS 2.2 or above, and is not compatible with tablets

Is it running on the Xoom?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
Dude you know XDA'ers don't follow instructions. I downloaded it anyway to secure the download and it works! Looks great and no lag.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
Yea, I found it a bit funny bc the description says its not compatible with tablets, yet Amazon website has a green compatible check mark next to the Xoom. Sow sadly it does start on a black screen on the xoom like its not going to work but if u keep taping the screen and tring to move stuff to the screen it will work.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
I just loaded the app and it started. What kernel are you using? Are you on OC GPU? I don't like that OC stuff so I'm stock. I'm up to level 40 and it hasn't sputtered or crashed (knock on morning wood).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] vamp6x6x6x:
I actually am using stock and am not rooted. I was thinking about flashing for sdcard support but I think Im gonna wait and see what 3.2 brings.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
The game is awesome I used to play it back in my iOS days.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] eaglecomm:
It seems to work for me.. the 'not for tablets' is probably because it isn't optimized as well as you have to scroll the screen a little bit up/down to see the top are of the screen for putting towers etc and down to put them on the lowest part of the playing field. Otherwise.. seems to work great for me.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] knifer:
I get an Unauthorized Request error when I start it up. I click OK and it closes :(.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kobraki17:
I'm in the same boat as you, and it sadly isn't working. I got SOO excited when it came out too! :(

Anyone have a work around? It begins to play the game fine. I select the level and difficulty, it shows me where all of the buttons are, and then the map turns black. The game continues on, and I can use the in-game controls, but can't see anything. :( Guess I'm just beat
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
I'm using a custom kernel. Try going to the dev section and looking in the Notubuntu thread. Flash that kernel and try it. Maybe its kernel related. Mines works fine everytime. I'm on wave 70 and no hiccups.

By the way I'm not overclocked or anything. I'm using the stock honeycomb also. If you guys are using a different ROM it could be an issue.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keunhuvac:
Custom ROM/kernel from tiamat team and TDR team running on my Xoom, and i have no issue with all apps/games that support for HC.

Fieldrunners works file on my Xoom, when you see black screen, that pinch to zoom, then ....play!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kobraki17:
The tapping trick actually worked for me. I just paused the game and started clicking randomly on the screen and it started working :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tbayne:
For me the trick is to do a two finger re-size on the black background, this causes the play field to be redrawn and works great.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Kippui:
Anyone have this issue? See the small text?

Man this game is harder than it looks. How the hell do I stop the helicopters from getting past? I feel like I'm upgrading the early buildings and its killing me!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kgeissler:
I noticed that when my game ended and my name was on my high score list. I could not read the list. Either the text was microscopic or was not working correctly.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
I have the issues too. I beat the game on easy and medium. Save up for lightning towers and upgrade them to the Max. Also place the goo towers spread apart to slow them down.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] tbayne:
Early on drop a middle launcher along the aircraft flight path, then lightning generators later in the round.

I have the same "small text" issue with the high scores screen - this is probably the reason this game isn't "approved" for tablets.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] kgeissler:
According to their website, they submitted an update to enable tablet support. Hopefully it will be approved quickly.

[Windows Phone 7 General] Localhorst86:
Too bad you can't download the full maps, though. You need to download your maps on a "per route" basis.

I am somewhat greatfull that I have t-mobile germany, so I get the Navigon App for "free". Here, I don't need a data volume to navigate.
[Windows Phone 7 General] day2die:
It's available for the US and Canada.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Freypal:
Is it just a case of a locked API that no one is currently offering a GPS navigation app that has maps pre-loaded?

All these ones that are coming out that need a data connection are pretty useless since i only really use sat-nav out in the sticks where i don't get reception.

I'm not keen on having to pre-download a map each time i make a journey either.

I really miss IGo8 off my old Blackstone :(
[Windows Phone 7 General] arkavat:
I do not think it is API problem. They seem to keep storing the maps as you keep using new routes. I think they are using on-demand maps as a DRM method. It is difficult to pirate when the app keeps communicating (and authenticating) with Garmin servers.
[Windows Phone 7 General] wheresmybeaver:
Agreed on the Navigon software; the 3.0 version is outstanding. And looks far more "metro" in style than this $40 software.

I believe the reason we are not seeing any offline gps software (ie with offline maps and offline routing) is because these companies have algorithms and "engines" for planning routes, and they cannot (or don't want to) convert these DLLs to silverlight. MS doesn't allow you to use your own proprietary code and DLLs in the marketplace. So the only proper nav apps with offline routing and maps, such as Navigon, can only exist if they are manufacturer or carrier-supplied (in the same way that HTC can offer compass and flashlight apps).
[Windows Phone 7 General] Sleep616:
Pity this is US/Canada only... really after a decent nav app (Turn-By-Turn's (GPSTuner) POI's dont work in Australia!)
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
It is a shame for those in other regions, but for those of us in North America, it is pretty sweet. My only gripes with the app are the fact that they didn't include a "run under lock screen" option (a must-have option for Focus users), and the voice seems, at times, to be over-compressed, and comes out just a tad fuzzy. By way of comparison the voice on the AT&T Navigator app is crystal clear. But that is about the only advantage it has over Garmin's new app.
[Windows Phone 7 General] phil10:
Hello,

I think that navigon will be for Europe.

anyway, it is a very good GPS (navigon) I used this program in try v3.

it's great.:)
[Windows Phone 7 General] xxjunior01xx:
I like it. Looks promising. However I would not get it. I already have a gps for that reason.
[Windows Phone 7 General] bigfire:
I picked it up a couple of days and tried it out and was sorely unimpressed.

Issues:

1) It lost the satellite sync a number of times in urban, but not downtown Seattle.

2) It seems to have no sense of correcting the raw data. For example, if I'm travelling along a highway at speed, you'd think that I'd be going in the same heading as the road. It apparently just reads the raw compass data, resulting in the appearance of a perpetual power slide as I drive.

3) When it loses me and recalculates, it treats it like I'm starting a new trip (with the same phrase at the beginning) and may want me to start on a different, albeit nearby road.

4) Position inaccuracy kept it thinking I was moving when I wasn't. This happened a LOT, although clearly it new I wasn't moving much, and reset me.

5) It doesn't have street names like TomTom.

6) It doesn't let me pull from Contacts. Maybe when Mango is released?

The real summary here is that if I hadn't known where I was going, it would have taken me a fairly poor direction as it would lose me, think I was relatively far away, and start calling out instructions from that. I'd rather use Bing Maps (which I think the touching idea is terrible) or TomTom on my iPad. I got the Garmin because TomTom won't, for some reason, allow my traffic subscription to work on the iPad.

There are some things about the app I like:

1) Data entry for the address was nice. I preferred it over the TomTom.

2) Screen layout is nice.

3) Pictures of road changes are amazing!
