Same problem here with Defy + CM10 .

1 month ago search button just went off (it show slow lighting but i think its from back button)

Few days ago option button is off.

so for now only works Home and Back button. I didn't used high lighting for it, i think it was less then 50% because i don't like high lighting.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moosevernel:
Hello everybody,

I recently acquired a Desire HD from the market on Orange and went through all the steps of downgrading and rooting etc etc (took forever coz im a noob) and finally did all that when i ran into the dreaded *your sim card does not allow connection to this network* when i try to manually connect to 02, same with an orange sim card

So i phone orange and explain that my sim cards wont work in this phone that i paid £150 for and after about 20 minutes they said my phone was blacklisted but then 20 minutes later they said they have unblacklisted my phone.

The guy said my phone would be ready to use but im still getting the same error message when trying to connect.

Have they not Unblacklisted my phone and are just lying to me or does it take some time to take effect?

Thanks =)

just spoke to orange again and the phone is definately not blacklisted

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

I just downloaded this stock ROM from SamFirmware.com as it was a KG6 build and I wanted to give it a shot. When I went to unzip the ROM, it contained 5 files. I know which files go where in Odin when there are 4 files but this one has got me confused. The confusing part for me (being a noob) is the fact that there is a Kernel and a Code file...where do these 2 files go under? They both can't possibly be selected under the PDA section so is one a boot loader file??? I have taken a screencap of the zip file contents so that hopefully someone can explain where the 2 particular files go in Odin.

Thanks all.

Well he would need to unzip the archive if he wants to use the included tarballs to flash his device.

@OP: When you open Odin 1.85 just put the following in the slots as below:

PDA: Code_I9100XXKG6.......

Phone: Modem_I9100XXKG6.......

CSC: GT-I9100-CSC-MULTI-OXAKG6.....

Ignore the rest of the files. Don't need to use .pit file and make sure you don't tick repartition. I would encourage you to read up on using Odin first if you don't know what you're doing before attempting to flash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmathieu:
Thanks Intratech..I am familiar with Odin as I have flashed my device successfully many times. Just never encountered both the Kernel and Code in the same zip so wasn't too sure whether I should use both or just one.

Hey mates...i'm just exploring the way of flashing my TF.

I tried some ROMs and now i was wondering about Linux.

I read different threads on how to put Ubuntu on the TF, some seems to use VNC (so is a sort of virtual machine/remote desktop?) others use something else...

Can anyone explain me the various ways to put Ubuntu on the TF?

Maybe we can even create a sticky that describes PROs and CONs on the various methods to put Ubuntu and link to the Threads that describe the process...

Anyway, sticky or not, i would like an hand to choose which way can be better for me to put Ubuntu on my TF (and maybe even keep the Android OS)

i have a device with the original rom from Cellcom israel.. how can i download the sbf from the device?

sorry for the bad english..

thanks!
[Defy Android Development] defw:
I don't think a sbf file can be downloaded from a device, but you can get it via Motorola Software Update, with an older and lower version of the phone's ROM.

For example, if you want to get the offical 2.2, you can first downgrade or recovery to 2.1(can be ignore if you are still in 2.1), and then use the Motorola Software Update to get the 2.2's sbf file from MOTO.

But your phone will go to 2.2 and can not flash to 2.1 again.

Generally you can get the sbf from the forum, many guys have the same phone and some of them would like to upload the file to the Internet.

Sorry for my bad English too.:)

Hi Folks, im New here so i cant take my Question to the Dev-Forum.

I got an T-Mobile MDA IV Compact in hands with that horrible 6.1 on it. There is the last/latest branded TM firmware on it.

I try nearly everything to change it into an unbranded, but the Phone it a real Ruffneck.

Anything i try i can watch some booting, -> "Virba" -> RESET.. and reboot new -> ""Win 6.1"" :mad:

Format to fat32.. and so on, all essentials..

Now at least i try the XDAnroid with the might right Startup (Diam100).. IT INSTALLS and i do everything what it needs.. Calibrate Screen and so on. I see the animation with the green Smileys/Dots and wait for Config itself and wait for the Lock-Screen but on this way it do -> Reset -> Reboot -> WIN 6.1 ARRGGG :mad:

It wont start with xdandroid - i try it with the 500 also but there is an freeze.. OK.. Now in time i try it maybe 10x with the diam100 but always the same prozedure.

What can i do before i throw that thing "thru" the Wall.

how do i know that please ?

ive tried about phone ofcourse and it only say that its 2.3.4a

thanks advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebugyi:
Well it says, it is 2.3.4a, so what else do you want?

Stable builds have different version numbers, than developement builds, so for you is 2.3.4a, not the date number.

Also, use titanium backup - if the Internal memory is the size of your EXT partiton of the SD Card, then you have d2ext. If not, then you have a2sd.

Is it possible for someone to port Aosp contacts? I hate the HTC people thing and having to scroll through all my calls before I get to my contacts.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
Because that's not your contacts app, that's your dialer.

Either press Menu and then People from the dialer, or put the People shortcut on your homescreen.
[HTC EVO 3D] smalltownbird:
But you know what I'm saying though. In Aosp contacts you have tabs up top for dialer contacts recent and favorites. It's so much easier and convenient.
[HTC EVO 3D] LiquidSolstice:
No, I don't know what you're saying. If that extra tap to open the menu and press contacts bugs you, use the "People" shortcut instead of tapping the home bar on the homescreen dock. It's not "so much easier" or even "more convenient", it's simply just one tap less.

The Sense dialer destroys all other dialers for its smart-dialing abilities. I'm not interesting in going back to AOSP's way of doing it any time soon, I was stuck with it for the longest time with CM7 on the Hero.

At any rate, you're not going to get the AOSP dialer until we have an AOSP ROM. Sense's current dialer is too heavily tied into all the functions of the ROM for it to be changed out with anything else.
[HTC EVO 3D] mallman:
i think the actual question is legit and i would like to know how to do it. I have attempted to push contacts.apk to /system/app from an AOSP rom to a couple of ROMs. So far it worked on Virus Airborne, however, it wont even show up in SneselessRom. Any idea why that would be?

[HTC EVO 3D] Papa Smurf151:
Aosp dialer destroys sense....what r u people talking about when u say its so much better? R u kidding me? Visually its hidious and a pain in the ass to use. The aosp is setup to let u find contacts got to ur logged calls go to favorites and the dialer itself is a 1000% times better to use. Host the time on sense dialer u search for a number and half the screen is taken up by the ugly dialer itself. As for the peoples app...its just as bad if not worse. Ill take aosp any day of the week.

[HTC EVO 3D] tenjinzan:
Honestly, it comes down to personal preference. I really cannot stand Sense. I prefer the "stale plain AOSP" to Sense any day. as for the AOSP dialer, I find it more intuitive than the Sense one.

I also don't like the weather, or the clock widgets, or the lockscreen...I honestly do prefer AOSP to Sense. I understand the appeal of Sense, but give me my LauncherPro on AOSP, and I'm good to go. imho, I can't see how anyone could deal with the inherent messiness of Sense.

Edit: Also, Sense dialer refuses to go Landscape for me...So when I'm using my car dock, everything's sideways.

Then over the past few days it was at 20% by the time I got home and would die within the hour if I didn't plug it in. I had some other problems with the phone too, but their solution to my problem was to send me a new battery.

Hi guys,

I'm having issues with my SGS2 and I would appreciate very much if you guys could lend me a hand.

I had VillainRom 2.4.2, Ninphetamine 2.0.5 and modem KG6.

I tried to install this Dark theme but something went terribly wrong and I had processes crashing, couldn't see any links to the phone dialer, messaging, etc.

I'm trying to wipe the phone back to full stock but I can't for some reason.

I tried booting into recovery mode, wiping cache and all information but when the phone boots I'm back to a black skin with several crashing warnings.

I tried to reflash KG6 with odin and selecting repartitioning but when I boot again I'm back to the same black skin missing functions and receiving some crashing alerts.

I tried to factory default through Settings -> Security -> Factory Default to no avail.

All the guides I was able to find on the net to put the phone 100% back to stock failed as I always boot to a non-working dark theme.

Can someone please provide me some help?

Would appreciate very much any pointers.

EDIT: After I boot into this dark theme, I'm getting messages like process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly for example.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prodygee:
Factory reset does not mean that it removes all your custom rom stuff and all that. That's a nice thought, but that's not how it works :P

You need to flash a different rom on your phone after having wiped everything. This will fix your problem. And if you so very much want to go back to stock, you could always flash a stock rom through ODIN which you can get from one of the available threads.

After I pushed it back in and rebooted I had a GPS lock in seconds. Not sure if this is the same problem any of you are having but it is possible.
