Sorry, didn't realize you weren't on Mango. Despite that, the process is the same as has been described in any posts you have found. The registry needs to be edited. If Zune is restoring your settings, its because the official dev unlock will always limit the number of apps. You'll need to do a Chevron unlock in order to get the limit removed.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corlygunnz:
Thanks, I will do that. If I can figure it out. In the hd2 the rom comes already with NoDo and chevron. I think with the hd7 I have to downgrade before anything.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drkfngthdragnlrd:
In NoDo, just use a registry editor. Than add key to create the hidden keys/values. This is how I did it before provxml & is easier if you're only doing a few edits. Also, certain apps have an option to apply this for you such as Advanced Configuration Tool.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corlygunnz:
Advanced configuration tool didn't, and the registry I couldn't apply because I couldn't find the key under "devicereg". I think it was Zune resetting my limit sine I had a original dev unlock key. But I just downgrade to 7004/7008 and unlocked the phone with chevron and then updated to NoDo. Everything looks like its working fine.

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

Just got my Galaxy SII today.

Compared to my old LG Optimus 2X, the screen is very dim, although very colorful. The whites are incredibly blue, as can be seen here:

The Optimus (to the left) is with automatic brightness enabled, and the SII (to the right, duh!) is with brightness set to max, manually.

The screen seems VERY blue compared to the Optimus.

Is this normal with the SII?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
There's definitely color variations across different examples of the phones ranging from cool to warm. The warm seems to bug people more than the cool. In this long and painful thread you can see some pics of other phones side-by-side to see where yours falls.

Mine's on the cool side but I can't tell from the way you took the pic how different it is from yours. There's some pics of mine in the above thread.

It just bothers me that the Optimus 2x which havent been marketed on base of it's screen, beats the hell out of the GS2, in brightness and color trueness.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I had a G2X, the O2X's bastard relation. I liked the G2X display but thought the contrast was just OK and it didn't perform well in daylight. The SGS2 screen because of the black-blacks and exaggerated colors took some getting used to. After two months, I look at an LCD display now and go ewww. You'll probably feel the same way when you get over the shock. Watch a movie, that'll make you feel better ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
I appreciate your input, although the blue is so bad, it gives people in the vids a kind of smurf-ish look. :D

And besides that, the off-center viewing angle makes the blue tint even worse. The reviews praise the wide viewing-angle, which is as arrow as about 30-40 degress before the colors gets distorted.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarmafia:
ammm,,,i dont think that that much bluish tint is normal,,,,u sure u dint get a faulty handset??i mean yeah super amoled plus has a bit of a bluish tint,,,,but man! thats too much blue....(ps-i compared mine to some lcd screens so dont tell me to place it beside one)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
That's one of the funniest things I've read in a while. No, that's not normal. Definitely exchange the phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
It seems as if the problem degrades slowly over time... Hmm...

The viewing angle issue can be seen here:

Shot with my EOS 60D.

As you can see, you can't move the camera much before the colors go even more smurf.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjeshurun:
I think the blue tint is related to the Super AMOLED Plus technology.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarmafia:
yes,,Amoled technology alwayz had this issue,,,its very slight,,,u can not notice it that easily,,,but that much blue is not normal...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
It actually seems as you'll have to look at the phone from a very straight angle, as only a few degrees will result in the blueish colors. And the weird part is - going a few degrees further will result in normal-ish colors (yet still very dim) - and afterwards turn into blueish again, "the rest of the way", if you catch my drift.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endoran:
I'd go blue over yellow any day. But that's too blue and whoever you bought it from would have to be blind to not see it; return it. I hope you didn't buy it off eBay...

My SGSII is blue too. Is the voodoo app working for this phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost77:
Got my galaxy s2 couple of days ago from expansys, it has no blue tint or yellow left side, the only thing it has is on lowest brighness setting on grey background bottom right corner you can barely see some kind of ring like shadow :confused:. Good thing you can only see it under that situation only.

Feel bad for others with blue tint and yellow side , get replacement ?

My captivate(SGS 1) and SGS2 both have same even whites.

Hard to see even harder to photograph shadow ring.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
The ring thing is called the "coin syndrome".

The service center wouldn't acknowledge the blueishness as a defect, even though my phone compared to a demo GSII was an electronic smurf.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharpshooterrr:
The blue tint is probably from the Gorilla Glass coating.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
So not every Galaxy S II is Gorilla Glass coated?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlZ:
I think too much coating is causing the bluetint, but that suction cup on the screen is definitely a defect and should be replaced.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robusni:
Go for a replacement without any doubt, I had the same problem with the first

SGS2 two weeks ago. The second one is Ok.

Compared to my previous Desire HD the SGS amoled screen is better , beside the fact that slight bluesih tint is still present, but that is normal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
The good news is it will get better over time...

From Wiki:

Color balance issues: Additionally, as the OLED material used to produce blue light degrades significantly more rapidly than the materials that produce other colors, blue light output will decrease relative to the other colors of light. This differential color output change will change the color balance of the display and is much more noticeable than a decrease in overall luminance.[62] This can be partially avoided by adjusting colour balance but this may require advanced control circuits and interaction with the user, which is unacceptable for some users. In order to delay the problem, manufacturers bias the colour balance towards blue so that the display initially has an artificially blue tint, leading to complaints of artificial-looking, over-saturated colors. More commonly, though, manufacturers optimize the size of the R, G and B subpixels to reduce the current density through the subpixel in order to equalize lifetime at full luminance. For example, a blue subpixel may be 100% larger than the green subpixel. The red subpixel may be 10% smaller than the green.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sharpshooterrr:
Not every Galaxy S II has the exact amount of coating on the Gorilla Glass, hence the varying levels of blue from one device to another.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkhc:
I'd just like to chime in to see if some of you have the same issue as mine.

My S2 does not have the cooler temperature blue tint that the OP has, but my screen has horrendous viewing angles. The screen turns blue when I tilt the phone 3 degrees or more in any direction off centre.

What's interesting is that my original screen prior to this replacement had excellent viewing angles, but it exhibited the left side yellow tint and the horizontal burn-in lines across the screen.

I know this phone has now been out for a while now, so I was wondering if anyone had these issues addressed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puttitat:
Funny thing: Two years later, and the smurf tint has disappeared... :)

[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
This is a tiny app for the O2X flashoholics out there.

It will display which version of lge-ril.so you currently have installed, and if you don't like it you can install another one. The app will scan your sd-card(s) for additional RILs, including scanning them from zip-files. All you need to do is dump your ril-zips or rom-zips anywhere in internal or external storage (where they probably already are), and LG RIL Version will find the RILs for you, and copy them to its own storage for later use.

The RIL-database updates over the net, no need for continous updates of the app. Use the built-in reporting function, and the RIL-database will be updated promptly.

If you use CM7.1, you will get one-touch support for adding (or removing) lge-ril.so to custom_backup_list.txt. (Keeps the installed ril between flashes.)

This app is at the moment only for p990.

The app is in the market, for free of course. (No ads either.)

[LG Optimus 2x] k101d:
That mean if we install new rom this ril version may be change if yes what the benefit of ril version why it easy to change and what is the best version for use.

For mine phone it said ril 0218 while I just flash the CM7 bulid .82 and my current baseband is 0614.

Thamks.
[LG Optimus 2x] sacredsoul:
Awesome small utility. Works fine on MIUI. Thanks!
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Yes, every rom comes with a ril.

It is generally considered best to have matching ril and baseband-versions.

CM7 includes the 0218 ril. Baseband 0614 was a beta-leak, which went unchanged to the official version 0622. So your "best" ril would be 0622.

However, try to keep discussion about which baseband/ril is "best" in their respective threads, and let this thread be about the app itself.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] wapz:
If you would really go crazy Trim you should code the app to be able to offer the right RIL for each specific baseband with a click. And make it a non-free app for €0,79 in the market and i'll push buy :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Yeah, I've already toyed with the idea, but decided I don't know enough about the legal implications of it. (After all that'd be "distributing" other peoples IP.)

So for now it stays a simple little app. As for the future, who knows...?

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Thanks.

Keeping up with the database really shouldn't be a problem, as long as people keep reporting unidentified rils. Right now there's only one I'm having trouble identifying, hoping to get enough information today.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommmii:
nice little tool, Trym!

tbh, i was toying with the same kind of idea myself a few days ago.

Good work.

Feature request : what about adding a function to make the currently installed RIL flashproof? i.e. A button to add/remove the RIL to /system/etc/custom_backup_list.txt , and also a little test which would tell us if the RIL is or isn't flashproof?
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Thanks.

That's not a bad idea at all. It does strike me though that maybe that'd be better suited for another app altogether, a custom backup list manager of some sort. I'll think about it.

[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
With this modem i have best battery life so far!!:)

As ril i have used the normal 622 ril...
[LG Optimus 2x] MrTequila:
what do you mean?

the baseband (modemfirmware) isn't the same as ril. the ril is a library, its like a driver for android to speak with the modem. the baseband ist provided in a fls file, which u have to flash with smartflash. you can easily change the ril by replacing the file /system/lib/lge-ril.so

so, which baseband are you using and which ril?

what i asked for the lge-ril.so file from the new leaked gingerbread rom for the o2x.

thanks

mrtequila

edit: you can get the file from the zipfile. just unpack the zip and get the lge-ril.so file from /system/lib/
[LG Optimus 2x] k101d:
As I asked why need to change ril that bundle with the rom or what is the best lib-ril.so version and why (because of change of ril file is very easy but not BaseBand.)
[LG Optimus 2x] MrTequila:
every baseband has a corresponding ril. that's y it's better to change ril....
[LG Optimus 2x] k101d:
How to know that it ?? and CM7 seem to add ril-218 so in my case my BB is 614 what is the best for use .
[LG Optimus 2x] vivmar:
Personally i have the new baseband 622 (gingerbread only leak) from paul site...

and as ril i have old 622 ril ,the one from old 622 baseband froyo....
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommmii:
It's pretty simple really. If your baseband is 218, then use RIL 218. If baseband is 622, then use RIL 622.

And yes, at this moment CM is loaded with RIL 218.

By the way : this thread is going way off-topic.
[LG Optimus 2x] MrTequila:
could you extract the ril from gingerbread leak zip file for me please?

[LG Optimus 2x] MrTequila:
not running on miui/cm7/froyo fr19
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
The app has been updated to display a "confidence"-field. If the confidence is not "high" this means the information about the ril either needs confirmation or is lacking, in both cases you can click a button and send a mail. The app now collects build-information and bundles it in the mail. If you can, please provide the region of the ROM, ie. NEU, EUR, ESA, GER etc.

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
I am going to implement this, but first I need some information:

o Am I right in assuming it is only the install-script in the CM7 install-package which reads this file, it has nothing to do with CWM in itself?

o If Yes, does MIUI respect that file as well? (Or any other installation-scripts for that matter.)

o Google-apps, I understand, are automatically protected as well. Is that because they're listed in this file, or are they listed in another file/hardcoded in the script?

o Are there any other files I should consider adding to the backup-file?

o Does the file exist in a vanilla CM7-installation, or must it be created? (Easy check for a supported os.)

::Trym
[LG Optimus 2x] Tommmii:
I remember reading something re this : found it, see here :

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15101302&postcount=5230

Dunno, MIUI isn't my cup of tea, sorry.

Same reply as on 1st question.

Not for any RIL related stuff, no.

The file doesn't exist per default, it needs to be created at first usage.
[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
Thanks. I've taken a look at an (extracted) copy of backuptool.sh. It has a lot of apps hardcoded into it, reads cust_backup_list.txt, and skips backups of odexed files. It also starts with a check of ro.modversion in build.prop. I assume that any compatible rom will change this check to the matching value (if it changes at all).

So I guess the correct way to go about it is to simply check for the existence of root support and /system/bin/backuptool.sh before presenting the user with the opportunity to add/remove lge-ril.so from custom_backup_list.txt.

I'll start work on that assumption (tomorrow), if anyone knows otherwise, please let me know.

(By "otherwise" I mean if there are roms out there where /system/bin/backuptool.sh exists, but doesn't get called (from the install-script), or where it gets called, but aborts due to wrong ro.modversion value compared to the script. I definitely don't want users to *think* they've auto-backed-up lge-ril.so if it has no effect.)

[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:

maybe irrelevant, but I use a Froyo ROM (Slixk 2X 4.1) and there is no backuptool.sh. Must be a GB CM7 specificity.

[LG Optimus 2x] TrymHansen:
