also here is a good collection of shipped roms and another rooting guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

i used the latter to root my phone yesterday, a first for me, since this is my first android phone, and it worked at once and it took less than 10 minutes till i was up and running again.

As MTM said, take a couple of breaths and learn how to be nice to your fellow forum members. Next person to be disrespectful will earn a temporary ban. You have been warned.

It took me a while to get up to speed with the way things are here too.

The usual steps would be:

- download a stock rom

- flash cf-root

- choose your custom rom

From here onwards, its an ocean of info.
[Galaxy S II General] sakai4eva:
Yeah... getting up to speed here is a little difficult. I came from the HTC Desire, so I was pampered, of sorts, by the fullness of guides there.
[Galaxy S II General] norpan111:
Did the disrespectful posts vanish or did I just not get it ? :p
[Galaxy S II General] sakai4eva:
It disappeared.
[Galaxy S II General] ghost77:
There are no pretty guides because , its so extremely easy to root SGS2 , all you do is flash "cf kernel with CWM" via ODIN = done you rooted

Then you have CWM recovery and you can flash any SGS2 ROM. No need for any hacks or exploits.
[Galaxy S II General] sakai4eva:
I was confounded by the mere mention of ODIN. Apparently, everybody knew where to download/get it and how to use it but nobody provided a link. I sorted that out anyway.

I had to appreciate the relative openness of Samsung vs. HTC at this point :D

Welcome to the sgsii forums! I hope more and more people jump on the international bandwagon. I came from the samsung captivate forums so this wasn't that big of a difference. I think over time this forum will get better and more organized, as it's still relatively new.

Hi, after installing the latest update, the camera in my X10 does not work. After returning to 2.1 also does not work. After root and uploading the software from Wolf, the camera still does not work. Maybe someone has a fix for the camera? Do you have any suggestions?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iridaki:
What exactly do you mean "does not work"?

Does it FC? Does it freeze? Any other error message?

My mobile was in service until today and some hours playing with 2.3.3 i tested the camera and it didnt work.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltinhb1:
Have an unrooted 10.1, Bought the USB Adapter and all is well. One question I cannot find the answer to: How do I go about downloading a file using the 10.1 and have the download go DIRECTLY to the thumb drive which I have attached to the USB Adapter? Is there a download setting on the 10.1 that I am missing? So far I can download files, but they go only to the 10.1 internal memory, and even then I don't know how to move them from there to the thumb drive. I would like to download a file directly to my thumb drive so I can give the thumb drive to a client, or in the alternative, move a downloaded file from the 10.1 internal memory to the thumb drive so I can do the same.

Thanks for your assistance!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] waltinhb1:
Just got off the phone with Samsung. Was told as of now, there is no way to save downloads directly to a thumb drive.

Thanks again.

Use a file manager such as ASTRO to copy the file after downloading.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tdavis42:
I was going to say use ASTRO file manager as well. Though I do know that the 3.2 XOOM update is still read only on the SDCard reader. Don't know for sure if this is the case for the Galaxy Tab though.

In ASTRO:

Navigate to

1 the SDcard

2 Downloads folder

3 long press file you want to move

4 select edit

5 select either copy or move

then navigate to the thumb drive and long press and select paste.

There is also a bluetooth method you can purchase through the market so you can send files directly to their phone(if they have the capabilities).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Right so now that most SGS2 kernels are using BLN, and that most users want it, it would make sense to enable stock samsung apps to utilise this feature.

SMS

Phone

Now they obviously do not call any lights as Samsung were aware that there was no LED on this phone.

This would need to be hacked probably at the smali level. Does anyone want to give it a go?

Pulser of TeamVillain said he will look into it at some point, but he is rather busy at the moment so I thought I would open up the idea to everyone.

Edit: Ok so apparently phone works, it is just SMS that needs modifying.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TvBTvB:
SMS and phone are working for me, SMS with stock/go sms and phone with BLN pro so what' s the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
Samsung stock sms app and stock phone app do not generate any call for lights therefore BLN does not flash when you get an sms or missed call.

if you use a third party sms app then that will work, but not the stock apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grisha1:
Agree, stock SMS doesn't

But phone does blink.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slg60:
Yes, Phone apk is triggering. Only SMS is not working, but I also like to see modified SMS APK because 3rd party SMS APK do not fit to the design of the Samsung Software. (only my 2 centz):)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kab89:
If you use the tasker app, you can set up notifications of the bln for any notification.

I have set it up for gReader, K-9 mail and a recieved text :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyuk:
android has far more notifications than just missed calls and sms.... most apps generate some form of notification (twitter...email..gmail..g+...facebook etc etc)

they all work in the free version except for Missed calls.

currently Stock Samsung Messaging app does not work at all! but we are trying to fix this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neldar:
To obtain led notification for a samsung app you need to do the following:

Locate the place where the notification is instantiated and add the necessary flags to the notification. And secondly you need to locate the place where the screen is turned on, either a full or dimmed wakelock (bad implementation) or a call to setKeepScreenOn() or some parameter in WindowManager.LayoutParams is set.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebliss:
In the meantime while we wait for TeamVillain to modify the stock messaging app, you can make use of Tasker in combination of BLN pro to activate blinking lights when SMS is received. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1203005

I would suggest you read what is posted by the OP and do the profiles manually.

PS. this recommendation is for people who knows what is Tasker, BLN Pro and more importantly, liblights.so. ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacre:
THIS IS THE CURRENT SITUATION WITH BLN AS OF 2011-08-05:

You need a modified liblights. If you don't know what this is, start using the search function. If you still can't find it after using the search function, you're too stupid to even be attempting any of this, stop immediately or find a custom ROM that provides a modified liblights.

You need a modified kernel.

You need the BLN control application. To get blinking lights or notifications from missed calls in the stock phone app, you need the Pro version.

As mentioned IN THE ORIGINAL POST, the stock SMS app does not trigger BLN by default so you need a third party SMS app such as Handcent, or an app such as Tasker to set it up.

The following will be gibberish designed to make this post show up in most (logical) forum searches for how to get BLN working on the SGS2.

Expected search terms:

I am a giant moron who just cannot figure out how to get BLN working on my SGS2 Samsung Galaxy S II 9100 GT-I9100 BLN kernel how do I make BLN work what is liblights ahh life is so unfair expecting me to figure things out for myself my mummy told me I was a special snowflake that can do anything I set my precious little mind to I am her special soldier and life should just provide everything I want on a plate. BLN. BLN kernel. BLN liblights. BLN SMS. BLN. BLN. BLN.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacre:
Perhaps you missed the plethora of posts that point out that the missed call notification only works with the Pro version or from setting up Tasker. Which is quite amazing since ONE OF THE POSTS INFORMING YOU OF THIS FACT IS THE ONE YOU REPLIED TO.

However, you go right ahead consoling yourself with your assumption that the rest of the world is as bereft of common sense as you are. This is known as making excuses for your own inadequacies and expecting everyone else to come down to your level because you're a self centred moron with a clear and present over inflated sense of self entitlement.

If you don't want to know what a modified kernel and liblights is then may I politely ask, what in the bright luminous blue **** are you doing here on xda-DEVELOPERS? This isn't xda-holdthehandsofmorons nor is it xda-spoonfeedeveryilliteraterejectonearth. It's a site for people to develop for smartphones as part of a development community and for people to learn. As you've just confessed you have no interest in any of this can I point you in the direction of your nearest iphone supplier and give up your Android using spot to someone with an IQ greater than the number of digits on my hands? Thanks.

Oh, incidentally, this thread isn't a HLAP HOW AM MAKE BLN WERK WITH THANGS ON MAI POHNE", it's supposed to be a development discussion about modifying the stock Samsung apps so they work properly. Hence it's in the development section. Any more of this stupid off topic requests for spoon feeding and I'm going to start Reporting every post that isn't anything to do with the topic.

[General Questions and Answers] XuserJM:
Hi all.

Sorry for a noob question.

I wonder about the correct restore procedure after flashing new ROMs...

Is it safe to restore everything (thinking of apps+data, system settings, desktop etc) using either Titanium or MyBackup? Or are there some burried negatives which should be paid attention to?

Thx.
[General Questions and Answers] pudgybunnyBry:
If you're flashing a different ROM than before then you probably shouldn't recover the system data, just apps and user data

You. Will. Obey. XDA Premium
[General Questions and Answers] betovanbuuren:
Better restore just apps, NOT data, these can make you get AOS Bug..
[General Questions and Answers] XuserJM:
OK, but what about for example setting up the desktop?

Setting up the desktop takes time every time you flash a new ROM. Is there a workaround...?
[General Questions and Answers] Vatazhka:
I never heard of AOS bug (might be a device-specific one & not related to the devices I have), but what would be the point of backing up your data if there was no way to restore it? It is perfectly OK to restore your apps and their data. It's also OK to restore system data if you're not switching ROMs.

I personally never had any problems migrating my apps + data back and forth between Froyo and Gingerbread ROMs.
[General Questions and Answers] pudgybunnyBry:
After flashing between multiple ROMs yesterday, restoring all app+data, I never noticed any problems. Any search I do for an AOS bug comes back showing it caused by 2.3.3 or 2.3.4. So I imagine that if you're flashing ROMs and restoring on Froyo or below you won't have an issue.
[General Questions and Answers] XuserJM:
All right then... I will go with that it is safe to restore - at least if not switching ROMs... I think it will end up with some testing :)

Thx

I'm pretty sure Skype has a reason. It's a business. It wants to make money. It is going to do what ever is most profitable.
