[Galaxy S II General] TRF-Inferno:
As far as today goes, the X10 isn't as bad as it used to be compared to how it was last year. The 1.6 and all the bloatware on it killed any potential performance the Snapdragon is supposed to give, and I will have to admit as far as Android phones goes, that was pretty much the worst one I've used.

Fortunately its boot loader is now unlocked and custom ROMs are now being provided, in addition of Sony Ericsson finally releasing Eclair for it. No software updates will make up for its deficiency, which is the lack of multi-touch controls. The hardware is nice; I've gotten many questions and inquiries about mine (I got the white one), but given the experience with it, I can't help but be skeptical about getting the Arc, Play or even the Duo.

I've had pretty much every GSM Android handset that has been released in the U.S., and the Galaxy S II definitely lived up to the hype. I had my Atrix on eBay by the same night that I received the Galaxy.
[Galaxy S II General] xxRachelle:
Uhm, the x10 bootloader is not unlocked, and there were already ROMs. Also 2.3 update is near for the X10.

Uhm, x10 is only laggy because of a FPS cap I read.
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
they should make the copy paste function easier like IOS

1080p zooms in which is an issue if ur trying to make a video in a place that is small

i have to click noise reduction everytime ( im not sure if it off or on ) i talk on the phone so people on the other line can hear me well ( i hope MIUI cm7 or an app would just make it off/on all the time )

touch sensitivity(required more movement than usual to make it react) which can be fixed ( seen an app that demonstrated it )

everything else ..... PERFECT
[Galaxy S II General] poulsky:
Frankly I think the display is a little too small. Other than that, I couldn't be happier with this beast.
[Galaxy S II General] TRF-Inferno:
My apologies for assuming that the boot loader was unlocked out of assumption that it had ROMs for it. I'm rather surprised that SE will continue releasing updates for it since I remember last year that they twitted that Eclair was to be the last update for that handset.

Regardless of that, 2.3 is not going to give it multi-touch and the lag issue I had was with the responsiveness of the system, not menu scrolling lags or game performance. I give every handset two weeks for evaluation, and since day one, I've had issues with the X10 in terms of wake-up, the hanging or freezing I get when opening settings or other applications, and sometimes not responding to initial input and requiring a second or third tap to open or select something.
[Galaxy S II General] qwerty warrior:
small ...... ???????????????
[Galaxy S II General] xxRachelle:
You got your reasons to say that, after owning this beautiful phone!
[Galaxy S II General] pachi72:
What was wrong with Atrix?
[Galaxy S II General] TRF-Inferno:
Truthfully, nothing besides getting a little hot at times. It just can't put up a fight against the Galaxy S II in any category; the Atrix has a higher capacity battery, but the battery life comes up short compared to the Galaxy. With my current usage, the Atrix would have to be on the charger by nightfall, but I'm able to get away without charging the Galaxy until at least noon by the next day.
[Xperia Play General] Flipfoot:
Could some one post a list of safe bloat to remove/freeze after the 2.3.3 update on our Xperia Plays please.
[Xperia Play General] jacklebott:
Seriously? There's a stickied topic for it... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1046699
[Xperia Play General] Flipfoot:
Seriously, yes. That list was made using 2.3.2, the new update 2.3.3 added some new features and I'd like to know what is safe and what is not. Being a noob to all this I'd rather ask and be sure then guess and brick my expensive phone.

[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
The only added extras in 2.3.3 was mainly facebook crap. So the link posted by jacklebott is still valid to use.

Also if your bootloader is locked you can use SEUS to fully repair your phone.

You can only truly brick your phone by updating with SEUS, OTA or Pc Companion once your bootloader is unlocked. But even then its still repairable with no radio fix and progress is being made by blagus for a total fix.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
But still, questions about this subject could be posted in that thread. As it's stickied there is a bigger change that someone will read it.
[Xperia Play General] narflynn619:
yeah only facebook crap, just don't remove the facebook.apk if you want to preserve the Facebook for Android app. Nevertheless, 2.3.3 only got Facebook inside Xperia trash....

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengokubattosai:
Long story short I threw up all over my bed. Found my phone laying near but not in it, and now it won't turn on. I have it on the charger and the light is on to indicate it charging, but when I try to power it on I get three short vibrates and then nothing.

Am I screwed or can I salvage it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he Messiah:
Pull the battery for 15 seconds or so, then it should boot. Three vibrations is diagnostics mode, IIRC. You should be good after the battery pull.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengokubattosai:
Done that, still no luck. Should I try the rice method?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sengokubattosai:
What does five vibrations mean?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 7he Messiah:
That's odd, and I suppose you could, as far as the rice is concerned.

As far as five vibrations, I'm not sure, I've not had that particular problem. I don't know if there is more than one thing that can cause that or not, but here's a thread on the matter:

Probably an incopatible Vending.apk. If you're sure it;s compatible, deleted the dex from /data/dalvik-cache, and try again. Or use the wipe data option.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarmafia:
Asked a thousand times,,,but i guess i ll answer this for the last time,,,

U shud have posted the full firmware names atleast,,,like XXKG1,,XXKF2 etc,,

Anyways,,,,the first 2 letters(XX,XE,etc) symbolizes the location,area for which the firmware is made(like XE for Europe,DD for India etc),,,,,Third letter is for the year in which the fw is published(J=2010,K=2011,etc).....Fourth letter is for month(A=Jan,B=Feb,C=March,etc).....Fifth letter(which is actually always a number) is for the version...

Hope that helps,,

Godspeed..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fr3quency:
Ok. I got it. But still, I dont know what others mean.

Like: XX - XW - XE - DD - DX - ZS.

Can someone tell me what each of those mean?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1xinfusion:
as guitarmafia said: version DDKG1 would be

DD = Country code (in this case, India)

K= Year code (in this case 2011)

G= Month code (in this case July)

1= Version (in this case 1)

so DDKG1 means an indian rom version 1 dated 2011 july.

To find out more country codes, use the search function. I dont mean any offense, but google is your friend :-)

so far I have tried Cyangenmod 7.3.1, Modacco and MIUI. I have been enjoying MIUI the most as its the most stable and easiest to customize, plus I feel that its been the fastest. Battery life hasn't been as good for me as I was hoping though and I miss the feature in cgm which lets you get rid of notifications, such as voice mail just by swiping them to the left/right.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HareyCarey:
I use Mikeyinid's stock-ish rom with Mathkid's matr1x kernel and it is perfect if you don't want a lot of clutter and if you like vanilla. It also has bln and voodoo capabilities plus it is oc'd to 1.2ghz to boot. Super fast, super stable.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lvnatic:
There is no such thing as best ROM. It's all about preferance and it varies from user to user. If you've tried them all then why don't you decide which one was better for you and keep it?

Just to give you a tip, the most popular ones are oxygen, CM7 ( and nscollab which is based on it), MIUI, superaosp and infinity. Try them and see which one do you like the most.

Ok I'm using oxygen. Did it help you? No it didn't, cause everyone is talking about their own ROM. Why? Because it's all about preferance, someone likes MIUI while another one likes CM7, get my point? I wasn't rude in any way and I presented facts. Instead, you act like a ****.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mlinarek:
I used CM7, but didn't really enjoy the experience.

I moved towards Trin1ty which was really good, waiting to try the next update as I really like the way it is developing. Had a couple reboots while on calls so moved to another rom to see if reboots where just with the rom.

After I tried Trin1ty, I moved to ZuluZulu and currently trying the Trinity UV kernel. ZuluZulu has been working great and I love the rom, battery discharge was a little high so trying the Trinity UV kernel. But I love the speediness I have had with this rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluecluenj:
If MIUI didn't lag so bad in navigation I would have stopped flashing ROMs for a while (at least a week lol). Its the slickest thing out. I'm on Zulugen now and I like it a lot. It and NSCollab the best of the CM ROMs. Htcclays is awesome too but for some reason Google Music won't let you deauthorize it when you flash something else so you will use up your authorized devices fast if youre a flashoholic like me. CM itself causes me random bootloops :( so I can't even use it.

If you want simple, stable and fast, try Oxygen and Infin1ty they both rock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elinho:
I'm not a ****, i feelt offended. Its not personal, if the major amount of people choose to stay on CM7 so i'll test it for a week, we all have the different flavor in roms :P like you said.

[Thunderbolt General] stanlalee:
Liquid thunderbread takes CM7 and one ups it with less bugs, even more custom settings and better benchmarks. Otherwise if you use the same launcher on both roms they are strikingly similar (custom setting are just under liquid settings instead of cyanogen). For sense roms I have always ended up using chingy's roms (perfect storm, then 2.1 gingebread and finally 3d gingerbread)... and yes I know those are no longer an XDA rom but since the ASOP roms (when all the bugs are ironed out) are better than any sense roms (functionally) I really needed not mention any sense roms lol.
[Thunderbolt General] ScoobarSTI:
Honestly no one can tell you what the best ROM is. These thunderbolts... all of them seem different and all respond different to each ROM. You're going to have to run them for a week or so and figure out for yourself which one is best for you, and works best with your phone. I for one can not get GB BAMF to run smoothly on my phone. Best 3.0 sense for me was Gingeritis 1.1. I run CM7 and dream kernel as my daily driver and have had very few issues with anything.
[Gen8 General] Rockstar52:
I am trying to create a custom theme, by modifying the framework-res.apk. I have been successful in porting some really cool .png files, but my problems start with the de-compiling & recompiling the .apk so I can modify the .xml & .9.png files. It seems every time I recompile my .apk it sends me in to a boot loop. I have used both APKTool and APK Manager with no luck. Here are my steps:

APK Manager:

1. Use a root explorer to copy the framework-res.apk.

2. Paste the file on my sd card.

3. Copy the file and paste it in the "place-apk-here-for-modding" folder.

4. Choose option 9 for compile.

5. Open the .xml file with Notepad++.

6. Recompile .apk using option 11.

7. Yes to "is this a system file?"

8. Yes to "keep original files & signatures"

9. Delete the files I modified from the "keep" folder and the resources.ascr file.

10. Finish the build of the .apk.

11. Copy & paste the modified .apk back to my sd card.

12. Rename the file from unsigned-framework-res.apk to framework-res.apk.

13. Use root explorer to cut & paste the modified to my /system/framework folder.

14. Reboot.

I now end up in a boot loop what am I doing wrong??:confused:
[Gen8 General] Lenn:
You have to sign it with 12 ;)
[Gen8 General] Rockstar52:
Tried it, still boot loops at the Archos screen. I then have to do a complete format & wipe reinstalling the SDK, firmware, and the root files. I don't get it.
[Gen8 General] msticninja:
Do not sign frameworks! How many time do I have to say this! ;) System apps do not get signed...

Now, as far as the framework, there's two things to check. First, what XMLs have you edited? Second, instead of using root explorer to copy the framework, connect to a pc and use adb to perform these commands:

su
stop
cp /system/framework/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.old
cp /sdcard/framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk
chmod 644 /system/framework/framework-res.apk
sync
start

If it continues boot-looping, you will still be connected through adb, so you just

stop
cp /system/framework/framework-res.old /system/framework/framework-res.apk
sync
start

and it will come back up without having to reformat or anything.

If it's bootlooping even when you use the adb method to copy, then your XMLs must be reencoding incorrectly. Post a list of all XMLs you have changed.
