[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Ronin3178:
Ok, haven't been too active here in the OG Droid section, but very active over in NookColor. What I found this morning is best described by the term used alot over there - "Sleep of Death" or SOD.

Went to bed last night, with a 90% battery. 6hrs later, woke up, checked the phone, flashing green LED, but it would not turn on even if I slid out the keyboard. I pulled the battery, turned it on.....nothing. Plugged into the charger, came on, showed 5% battery.

So, pulling from processes described in the Nook forums, I went to /proc and looked for a lastkmesg. Nothing. The only proof I have are these screenshots from battery monitor widget.

The first one is the history file with time stamps, second is the graph of said time.

I would check spare parts to see if something is holding a wake lock or using a lot of CPU.

I think because I reset battery stats before posting this question, I can't get that answer. Time since boot its the same as since unplugged. I have never had this problem before, hopefully never again.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupiejr:
First of all, I apologise if this is the wrong forum to post this on. I'm not new to the Custom ROM scene, having come from my HTC Desire. However, the SGS2 is my first Samsung product, and hence a few of the terms are rather confusing to me, and I hope this'll help somebody else as well besides me.

1. Why are there so many different kernels? KF1? KF2? XXKF1? XXKF2? What're the differences? Can I flash a KF1 kernel into a phone that already has KF2?

2. What's the difference between an i9100 and an i9100T? Can I flash a kernel designed for an i9100 into an i9100T phone?

3. What do the different shipped modems mean (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1131950)? How are they relevant when I'm choosing which ROM to flash into my phone?

4. What's a HIDSWVER and why are we collecting it (from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1089874)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t0ph0id:
You know there's a Q&A section right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelgianAtheist:
(agreed that this should be moved to the Q&A section of the forum!)

Hi I'm in the same situation as you, I was just preparing a similar question but will add it to yours, perhaps there are more HTC (Desire) converts coming that might be interested in this kind of FAQ ;)

My SGSII was bought unbranded with the following software PDA:XWKE7 - PHONE: XXKE4 - CSC: UXKD3 - Build date: 5/18 KST 2011 and it is only 5 days old so I don't want to ruin it just yet ;)

I've flashed an insecure kernel that was the same as the kernel that my SGSII had originally (PDA:XWKE7) with Odin following the instruction in this post

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

It took me a few tries before I saw that I had to install Samsung's KIES program first, I know it is in the instructions but it could be shown a little clearer imho.

And I've flashed a secure kernel (same version) back so that there's no more yellow triangle.

Now for the questions:

I don't seem to have the CWM recovery, what do I have to do for that?

With what I've done will I still be able to get the Samsung updates, it currently says "This version cannot be updated"? (I may not really want that)

I now actually still have the same phone that I bought, how do I go about actually upgrading, can I just install (using Odin) the latest of all 3 things (PDA,PHONE,CSC) or do I need something for that or should I match certain things like some version of PDA only goes with some version of PHONE.

Can I flash new things just using the phone, it looks like everything has to be done with Odin, on the HTC phones I found it more comfortable to flash on the phone itself (no risk of computer crashing or cable disconnecting...)

PDA is kernel PHONE presumably is modem, what is CSC?

Edit2: found some of the info here:

found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

but still not clear on CWM, and what can be flashed and when.

Edit: Perhaps I just need CWM so that I can start experimenting once I have a nandroid backup, I've found this [KERNEL] ClockworkMod Recovery 4.0.0.5 // Initramfs Template for Devs but it is not really clear if that will install a new kernel (which one?) or only CWM, can I install that on my phone, it doesn't seem to root ... questions ... questions ...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelgianAtheist:
I got CWM here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

I jumped the gun even though it is a XEU version and my phone has LUX, doing a nandroid now, will feel a lot safer when that is working ;)

The thing that still eludes me is that most posts like that talk about having the correct firmware but then how can I upgrade or do I have to do that at once kernel+firmware?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pulser_g2:
You generally flash both kernel and firmware at the same time, either via ODIN, or CWM (depending on what you are doing).

Kernels ship with ROMs. So the KF2 ROM has the KF2 kernel with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clovek1:
Hi, i am comming from HTC Desire, like you.

I will try to answer your questions, but be aware some of my answers may be inaccurate because of lack of expertise.

1) you have to use the CF-Root kernel, appropriate to your ROM version (e.g. KE7 CF-Root kernel with a PDA:XWKE7) to have CWM.

Please notice, that CWM on Samsung phone is much like ROM Manager on HTC Desire (a "normal" Android application, not a bootmanager extension !)

To get rid of the yellow triangle while using the CF-Root kernel a workaround is needed ( i havent tried this yet):

1.1 - flash CF-Root (Odin)

1.2 - flash original kernel back (Odin), i mean KERNEL (8MB) and not the whole ROM (500MB)

1.3 - flash the zimage file inside of the CF-Root *.tar file ( unclear how, through CWM ???)

2) you can still flash official Samsung updates after flashing a custom ROM or kernel. Just use Odin instead of Kies. You can get the official Samsung firmwares here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

3.) I would recommend to flash only the PDA (depending or a ROM, that you choose) or a complete official ROM containing all three parts (PDA+CSC+RADIO).

I wouldnt flash the CSC, as it apparently contains regional settings (e.g. dutch/french menus in case of Belgium).

I am not sure whether all RADIOs work flawlessly with all the PDAs ... Usually ROM cooker shold take care of this. I would recommend to use a RADIO for your region (if not recommended otherwise by ROM cooker).

4.) I recommend to flash using Odin, because its firmware independent. By my opinion Samsungs way is the more secure, because you don't need to flash the bootmanager ! You can fall bak to official firmware, or reflash again, any time using the original bootmanager + Odin. Flashing bootmager on HTC Desire was the most risky operation (fail = bricked phone). S-OFF isn't needed for Samsung too.

5.) by my opinion:

PDA = ROM (kernel+software)

PHONE = modem

CSC = regional settings (localized menus)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rico13:
i second this remark
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelgianAtheist:
Awesome, thanks clovek1 that cleared up quite a few things.

1)

I seem to have CWM at boot now much like on my Desire, is that a new thing for SGSII?

2)

Ok, so if I want to go to that KF3 that everyone is posting about and hopefully not have the AOS bug anymore (the battery is not at all what I expected, in a bad way with) than I can go to that link you posted and choose one of the XWKF3 fw's, and since I would rather not have anything french or dutch I could use the XEU one, regardless of what pda, phone or csc I have?

That will probably erase the phone memory (apps etc) right as it is an upgrade to Android 2.3.4?

Thanks again for the explanations, very interesting post
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelgianAtheist:
Sorry for maybe asking the obvious but did you mean "No, it will not erase the phone memory" or just "No, it is not an upgrade" (or No to both)?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clovek1:
1.) you CAN'T boot into CWM on SGS II like on HTC Desire. CWM is not a part of bootmager, but CWM is just an application.

CWM on SGS II is like ROM Manager on HTC Desire.

This means, you can enter the CWM only by

- starting the CWM application(or ROM Manager on HTC Desire)

- choosing reboot into CWM (puts CWM application to CACHE, reboots)

- waiting until the CWM starts from CACHE (temporary stored)

if you however try to manually enter the bootloader mode, you end up with the Samsungs stock bootmanager (and Odin).

This means, the CWM isn't usable on Samsung phones as the last instance for help, in case of destroyed ROM. Because with a destroyed ROM (PDA) you cant push the CWM into CACHE and force the phone to boot with CWM.

You can only use the bootloader, which isn't altered by the CWM in any way (on HTC Desire, HTC Desire the bootloader is replaced by a custom bootloader, which includes CWM).

Therefore CWM on Samsung makes no sense for me (nobody can't use CWM to flash a new ROM, if the current ROM isn't working). The only partially usable feature of CWM is the Nandroid (which works in a quite limited way, as it doesnt restore RADIO or CSC).

2.) i do remember flashing new ROMs (only PDA) on SGS II without having to reinstall applications (mainly Stock ROMs and Lightning ROMs, which seems to be compatible regarding applications).

I do recommend a Nandroid (through CWM) + Titanium backup in any case, before installing a new ROM. you can return to previous state later (but not as easily, as i would expect from Nandroid ...).

If you want the best music player, get PowerAmp. For internet radio, TuneIn.

PlayerPro

PowerAmp is ok, but for really good music experience the better is PlayerPro

coming from iOS i was missing the music, but PlayerPro really delivers an unique

experience on its own: lyrics on demand:D, artist image:), album grid (the coverflow locks so awsome but is so useless sometimes):o and the best: the widgets of different sizes and even on lockscreen...:rolleyes: and all the interfase almost full costum to your likings

i unninstalled the connected music player from my defy+ and oh boy, i really dont miss it, just a tip for people whom really dont use built in fm nor internet radio

I've configure my IMAP email account with HTC Mail.

The problem is that I don't see what action I have taken for mails which I have replied and/or forwarded.

What I mean is with outlook or my webmail. I see an icon showing an email has been replied/forwarded.

With HTC Mail, I only get an icon if I reply the email from the app.

Is this a limitation of the HTC Mail app or anyone with a solution?

Hi,

I have created an application for android, but i need to port it to windows phone, windows mobile, blackberry and IOS.

What is the best way to do this.

And are there any applications to do this process automaticly?
[Android Software Development] travmanx:
I know Corona does this quite well, however it's more of a "start from scratch" and the licenses are pretty expensive (IOS & Android only).

I haven't seen a tool that will port it to all the devices that your requesting.

MoSync takes C++ Native Apps and does Android, IOS, GPL (non-commercial)

OpenFrameworks is another useful one....

However I'm sure they're others out there and maybe better...

[Wildfire General] tomnten:
What is the easiest way to overclock, I know that a different kernel is needed to overclock, but does overclocking require a completely new ROM

Thank You! :D
[Wildfire General] Lesicnik1:
You only need a new kernel if you're running stock froyo.

There's a lot of apps on the market that offer overclocking (SetCPU is a nice one)
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Easiest way to overclock is choosing cm7. No extra apps or kernels needed. It has inbuilt oc kernel and options for setting CPU frequency. And greater stability at higher clocks too.
[Wildfire General] tomnten:
Sorry to be a pain; do you have an idea of which kernel I should use? ;)

Some other user might give better info, since I'm not using an HTC Sense based rom/stock.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashutoshmishra:
I bought a Nexus S, my first Android phone, and it seems like a very good phone. :) However, one thing that bothers me is that it shows a sum total of only 305-310MB RAM, instead of the advertised 512MB. I searched here and found others having the issue, although they apparently have 340-380MB of total RAM (rest gone to GPU).

Is there a way to increase the limit from 310 to something higher? I've never used an Android phone before, so I've no idea if 300 is enough or not, but considering that I'm already touching 130MB after installing just a couple of apps, it doesn't seem like that much.

Thanks. :)

How does that make a difference? Droid X was locked and same with the D2, and both of them are Rooted and have custom ROM's out. :D Don't be a negative Nancy.

On Topic: I know the Developer on of the "Droid Concepts" ROM for the OG Droid is currently working on Rooting and then making a ROM for the D3, its only a matter of time before we have this baby cracked open and bloat-free!
[Motorola Droid 3] RaptorMD:
I know Woodyman from DroidConcepts is going to support the D3, he got his last Friday. He put up the system dump, media and wallapers over at droidforums.net and is going to be working on some great stuff.

What we need to do is give developers a reason to go out and get a D3 and root and get CWM Recovery so we can truly enjoy the D3. I will gladly donate, any others?
[Motorola Droid 3] cvhovey:
1+ ... and thanks for speaking up Yonnor!

As a current Droid X user, devs have done magic with its 'locked bootloader', making for a wonderful ride. And by "wonderful ride" its great to have a phone without all of the VZW crapware, under/overvolt, under/overclock, etc .... all with a "locked bootloader." Even cvpcs has done the near impossible, getting Cyanogenmod's AOSP ROM to run on the Droid X.

So I'm really looking forward to seeing what the devs will be cooking up in the very near future, as when my renewal comes due (or full retail price if my patience doesn't hold out), the Droid 3 is scheduled to be my next phone.

I'll likely be getting my D3 on Thursday, and I'm really excited to see what gets cooked up for it. Played with one today at my local store, and while I hate the Blur UI, it's not a deal-breaker, since LPP is my launcher of choice anyhow. I'd be more than willing to donate, once I get it too... like others, ROM availability isn't paramount to me atm, but the ability to use wireless tether is (unless somebody has found a way to get the vzw tether option for free). Otside of that, I can live with not being overclocked for the time being, and I'm sure we'll see a flurry of activity once the device hits everywhere, on Thursday. Can anyone verify if the D3 comes with a SD card or not though? The rep I spoke to today said it wasn't shipping with one, and it caused me momentary panic, lol. In any event, super excited to test drive this bad boy, but sad to be putting the D1 out to pasture! Hope things go well on the dev front.
[Motorola Droid 3] sirgaspar:
SD card is not included with my Droid 3, if that's confirmation enough.
[Motorola Droid 3] tcrews:
SD card is NOT included.

However, the internal storage (16gb) is mapped as /sdcard. Adding a physical sd-card to the device will have it mapped as /sdcard-ext.

So with a 16gb sd card installed...

internal storage = /sdcard (about 14 gb available since some is used for /system and /data)

16gb sd card = /sdcard-ext
[Motorola Droid 3] darkmatter34:

+1 on the donations. Let me know to whom and when. I received my D3 yesterday and haven't really put it through the paces because of work obligations.

I'm just looking to debloat this mamajamma and like jjhiza get wireless tether working. The keyboard was the primary reason I decided to jump ship and it does not disappoint. Overall this is a solid, well built, buttery smooth device to use. The "short" battery life is hard to get used to. I was running chad's incredikernel on my DInc and could go about two days between charges with moderate use.

The DInc was the best smartphone I've owned to date and the dev community was unbelievable. Having said that I am gassed to move over to the Moto Droid community.
