hi there!

my first post in this forum should be something actually productive, so heres my (rly) short review of the genuine samsung leather pouch, have fun :p

(since i didnt want to bother how to get everything looking as i normally wanted, i just made it quick and nice instead of perfect (what i normally do))

the case is made of real leather, as u can the it got a light texture on the outside and is quite soft in the inside, wich helps a bit to get the screen clean each time u put ur phone in or out.

its ~16mm longer than the phone (8mm each side) when its flat without the phone. when u put it in, the pouch forms around the phone so its almost half that.

it comes with a cleansing cloth, wich is rather thick and really good to clean either the gorilla screen or any screenprotector. also it has not only the phone tray but an extra tray for what ever u like (i prefer putting money, credit card or id in it when i go clubbing ;))

(ya i know EVERYTHING would be gone if it would get stolen but hey, whoever wants to should just come try :cool:)

the photos are from 3 weeks continius wearing the phone in it and most of the time in my blue jeans back pocket. by the time the edges sometimes get a bit colored form my jeans, but its easy cleaned (if i wanted to). i realy like how the leather works, it becomes more individual the longer u use it!

(you should know u dont by a leather case and predict its stays as it was at the beginning!)

the pouch fits perfectly! its quality is outstanding and the hole at the back is exact above the speaker. sure u cant use the phone in the pouch, nore u can use headphones, BUT imo its the most stylish way to carry ur sgs2 around. it looks elgegant, expensive and just cool :p

here are a lil album with a few shots:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lyondellic:
I have flashed Roms and Radios, but have not yet flashed a Kernel. Does this mean that my T-Bolt is using the stock Froyo Kernel, or was the Kernel replaced each time I flashed a Rom? Thanks in advance for your replies!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JBO1018:
Each ROM comes with it's own kernel. Usually the one it comes with is the best fit but not necessarily. Not all kernels will work with every ROM. See your favorite ROM's thread to find out about kernel compatibility.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lyondellic:
Thanks for helping me to better understand this!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
If you're using gingerbread, there's only 2 kernels available for flashing. Imoseyon's, and Dreamkernel. Most will use one of these two. Synergy and Gingeritus3D use Ziggy's, which are generally custom built for the ROM and are the only kernels that will be fully functional with these ROMs. It is possible to extract the kernels from one of these ROMs and use it with another, but you will have issues with it. Unfortunately, Imoseyon hasn't been terribly up to date with his kernel, which is the source for dreamkernel and Ziggy's. Ziggy has been building kernels for years now and has kernels out for 4 or 5 devices and currently has the only custom kernels that are fully functional with the latest GB leak. I've toyed around with extracting it from Gingeritus3D Beta6, but frankly, I don't have the time or interest since Chingy's ROMs have been my daily drivers for about 2 years now. I do have an older Ziggy kernel that was extracted, and if you want to play with it, I can send you a download link.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fixxxer2008:
IMO's aosp kernels are up to date.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Good point. Too bad AOSP makes me wanna bore holes in my head. Every time I pick up a phone with AOSP on it its set up different and works different! ...but its what the girlfriend likes so I flash the crap and walk away. I really need to get her doing it herself!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] icreative:
I have new bootload, version don't remember. But firmware 2.01 and others doesn't flash)= flash with error bypass. Maybe u can give me latest official firmware fot my Motorola Droid Verizon?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
When building an androidinstall.tar from scratch, do I need to include the META-INF file as well?

I will try without it as this build was for a different phone that I extracted and decompressed. I have already separated the apps and placed them in their own /data folder and removed them from the /system folder. :cool:

It is an unodexed build so no .odex files were included.

I was looking through other builds I have on hand and noticed no META-INF file, thats the reason for asking.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
First error:

[ 127.061609] init: Unable to open persistent property directory /data/property errno: 2

Then a whole mess of kernel errors, possibly due to wrong system...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
FIXED! Awaiting boot animation to finish.

Honeycomb boot animation is SO cool looking! :)

EDIT: NOT fixed, refuses to finish booting. Will work on it more to see if I can get it to boot up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
So far I've gotten to the point where the D-pad and keyboard light but boot animation continues.

Build is Android 3.0 Honeycomb with parts and drivers taken from "system_gingerbread_unodex" listed on sourceforge.

Someone tell me what I've missed here as it's about 80% finished booting and hangs after D-pad lights, animation continues until I pull the battery, about 10 minutes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
Getting an error "cannot execue /system/bin/leds.sh, no such file or directory", even though I made sure to copy it and went back and checked it.

Sorry if this looks like I'm using the forum as a sounding board, but I found an experimental build of Honeycomb for the MSM7201A and wanted to try it out.

Watch me cook the only Kaiser I have left... :(
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
All but giving up for now, will dig deeper. I know HC was NEVER meant to run on our Kaisers but it would be fun to see it happen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
Wow you are insane! (I mean that in a good way)

I have a Xoom tablet that runs honeycomb, but can't even imagine it running on our sweet Kaiser. Heck, I don't even like gingerbread: uses too much RAM.

Keep us posted, it sounds like a wonderful experiment.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
I'm so close yet so far with it because I'm using more and more of Gingerbread in the build. I even ended up trying to change the build.prop file to accomidate some of the changes in dimensions and clock speeds...

I think I'm about 90% there, just have some issues with the bootanimation restarting, which I may change to the nexus for the smaller size. (HC boot animation is somewhere around 14mb compared to our partly 875kb nexus animation). That could be half the problem because the bootanim uses so much of the ram...

To be continued...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] jholtom:
Ok This is a very interesting project

I am from the vogue forum but since my touch broke and the build process is identical I just sort of wander around trying to help with what I know.

So at one time I did a lot of porting and it appears according to your first post this is what you did. What phone did you take the rom from?

If its from the wildfire (I know there was a honeycomb movement in there for a while) I can definitely help because that is where I did most of my porting from

And the META-INF question... When I port I usually trash a bunch of folder straight away ... including META-INF
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
Good to know there are "floaters" around helping as needed.

BTW, it IS from the Wildfire port. Considering the MSM family is bascally the same, I'm trying to use that as a starting point.

The META-INF file contains certificates and what-not but isn't needed for our phones.

My biggest issue right now, as with any Gingerbread release, is finding drivers for our devices. Froyo drivers won't work because they lack the correct signature. Same as if someone tries to install the HTC flip clock on a plain android without the sense build, it just doesn't work.

I have this project and trying to port the kernel we use to the Raphael (Touch pro/Fuze), which is a major task in and of itself. I tried HaRet before with the Kaiser and I jus HATE it.

Biggest issue with the Fuze right now is to get it CID unlocked so I can try installing the kernel to NAND and go from there.

With that being said, I don't know what kind of progress I'll be making with HC in the near future, if any.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
Ok, I went back and restarted the project from scratch. Someone else ported the bootanimtion and different aspects of HC to a Froyo port on the Xperia X1 forum.

I recompiled everything at first, moving the "app" folder inside a new folder named "data", since our NAND constraints limit the build size to under 102mb for /system.

Once again I am stuck at the boot animation. It will go full-speed for a minute then restart and run slow. The only parts taken from the X1 were the app folder and media/bootanimation.zip

I'll dig a little deeper, maybe ask around the X1 forum for help.

Would be nice to finally figure this out though.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] zxxxy:
Hi PoXFreak. It seems like you're a very good dev. Could i help you somehow or could you link me to somewhere where i could get all the tools for rom and kernel building. Im a C++ learner, i've written a few apps, but only big thing i've done in android is installed sdk and modified a rom to have apps i need after install. I'd rly like to improve our kaisers.

P.S. dou you put anynthing compilled by urself in android rom (without kernel)? And where are the drivers located? system/lib/modules/[kernelversion]/ or system/lib/modules/ ???
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] n2rjt:
The .so files go into /system/lib/modules/(kernelversion).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Android Development] PoXFreak:
I have yet to make a complete working build from my work so no, I have nothing "new" to contribute to any android builds. All I'm doing is combining and rearranging/replacing/removing files already in builds.

To date, I have not had the time to work on this. I would like to be able to devote more time but I have too much on my plate already. Not to say I'm dropping the ball, just putting it on the rack for awhile.
[HTC Wildfire S] ZeroOneB:
Hi. After my SGS died I got myself the Wildfire S (until the next Nexus comes out :) and I'm quite happy with it.

The only problem is that I can't get Google Music beta running on the device.

I already checked a few apks from the forums and Music 3.0.1 is running fine - but it doesn't connect to my Music beta Account. Has anybody a solution for this is at least the same problem.

Further information: I live outside the US and i can't simply download the Music apk from the Market, but it was never a problem to get it to run on my other Android devices and several different ROMs on every device.

Thanks for helping!
[HTC Wildfire S] ZeroOneB:
After a few suggestions from the App-Thread itself didn't work (like cache cleaning, de- und reinstall, disable app information syncing, ...) a factory reset did the trick for me.

When setting up the phone again I just installed the music app first (!!!) and - tataaa.... - the "settings"-option appeared.

So - my advise to all those with similar problems. Setup your music app first (!) when you set up your phone because in case of problems you may need to factory reset your whole phone.

Hope that helped someone...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Okay, so basically I have a PC running Windows XP, which is connected to the internet using a wired cable modem. I then have a laptop, which I want to use to access the internet, but no wireless router.

Then I realised that my G1 (running Froyo) has WiFi, and I have the USB cable for it. So, I ask you guys: is there any way of setting up my G1 to use the connection from the desktop PC via USB, and then broadcast it as a WiFi network?

This is only intended to be a temporary solution (a few days) so I'm not going to go out and buy a wireless router or anything.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
I would assume it's possible, since the g1 can wifi tether. If the g1 has reception, why not just do that?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
I forgot to mention - the G1 has reception, varying between 3G and HSDPA, but I have to pay extra to get data, and it's £1 per day for just 50MB. I tethered it to the laptop and the 50MB was gone within a couple of hours, without even doing any downloading.

Whereas the desktop is connected to an uncapped 10Mb/s connection.

Thanks for the reply though, and perhaps someone else knows how to tackle this specific problem. Googling only seems to return results regarding sharing your phone's data connection over WiFi, which isn't much use for me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Why don't you just root and tether for free?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
I am rooted, and I can tether for free. The issue is, I don't have an unlimited data plan, so I need to either top up £10 to get 100MB for a month, or pay £1 out of my credit to get 50MB to be used in a day. Both of those disappear in the blink of an eye when I tether, even without doing any downloading. What I want to do is this:

Hook up my phone to the desktop using USB

Somehow get the wired connection from the PC to the phone, and broadcast that connection as a WiFi signal, so the laptop can connect to it

Security (WPA) would be great but as it seems like this is near impossible to do anyway, I'll happily use a method that doesn't let me secure the network
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phateless:
Sounds like it would be doable, I just don't know how.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ellisbodds:
Okay, thanks anyway.

You Must Be Rooted With S-OFF To Do This!

Seeing how there is no way to root 4.24 yet, I thought I would throw a little something together in case anyone needs to unroot before taking their phone into Sprint. This will return your phone to stock with S-ON while leaving a backdoor to reroot with. I have tested this as best I can without actually upgrading my hBoot (I want to keep the eng hboot), but there are no guarantees you won't run into issues. You also must flash the modified PC36IMG before setting S-ON in order for this to work.

While it would be trivial to create a script to automate this process, I wanted to make sure you know exactly what this does so it is easier to re-root. Plus there's no fun in having a script do all the work. :D

I've included all the files needed to use ADB and Fastboot on Windows, Linux and Macs. They have been renamed to match the operating system (eg. ADB for Windows is adbw, fastboot for Linux is fastbootl) and you may need to set the correct permissions in order to use them.

[EVO 4G Android Development] inifekt:
Good job and very educated post.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Just figured it may come in handy to someone, I had to unroot mine a few times to take it in to Sprint and I always did something similar to this to make it easier to reroot. If you wanted too you could even restore your data partition from a nandroid and remove all the root apps, that way your phone is still how you like it just unrooted for the time being.
[EVO 4G Android Development] LouRock:
Thank you sir. Very informative and useful post..
[EVO 4G Android Development] XpAcErX:
I have a question about this since it seems what your describing may help me. Since I got my E3d I have been playing around with my e4g and I upgraded mt hboot not realizing it would turn s-on. I know I'm still rooted since i have flashed at least 3 custom roms since then. I am on cm7.3 currently. For my case would using the unrevoked s-on/s-off tool to turn s-off work?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Bizdady:
Great job here, hope I never have to use this though :) but should help many that need to take in their phone for service.
[EVO 4G Android Development] xHausx:
Try using unrevoked forever from the recovery. If your radio is updated it may not let you do it but it's worth a try
[EVO 4G Android Development] XpAcErX:

I've been with my Evo since the beginning so I have no issues, but a friend of mine just bought the Evo. Unfortunately, his came with gingerbread with 4.24.651. Since his is not rooted to begin with, we can't unroot and reroot, so is it safe to assume that this method will not work? If so, are there any known methods to root? thanks in advance....

Hey there

I have bought two new galaxy S2 phones and there is a problem with the camera on both of them.

When I take pictures with Flash ON (all the other settings are default)

the output pictures become green-ness:

this is with flash on:

flash off:

the following user describe the same problem also here:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/14910-camera-flash-makes-pictures-green/

I have tried to play with the settings (eg change white balance to fluorescent)

but it only makes the the picture 'blue' and unnatural..

it does not help, the green colour also happens when I use the flash in night condition.

I have the STOCK ROM (KE2) on both of my phones..

I have tried to upgrade only the camera fw on my second phone and it changed from TBEE08 to TBEF04 but it did not solve my problem..

Do you experience the same issue? (with flash on and all settings to default)

Please share your thoughts and ways to fix it..

I'm thinking to return both of my s2 phones.

I want to be able to take pictures in night conditions (with flash on) WITHOUT this green-ness colour..

how do I do that? do you experience the same issue?

it's cool that you explain why this happen. but please how do I fix it?

(change settings? upgrade firmware? replace my device? something else?)

I don't see how can you all use the flash on the camera at all !!

it does not 'adjust' itself properly to the light conditions..

No matter what conditions (night/day) the flash make the pictures washed out with a green color..

The camera on sgs2 has good quality - but the flash is terrible..

Please help me folks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GeorgeP:
All cameras have problems with color balance with flash. I have a Canon 7D and pictures taken with flash almost always require some retouching with Photoshop to fix color balance. It is especially challenging for the camera when there are multiple light sources in the room (e.g., a little sunlight, a little incandenscant, plus flash).

Anyway the problem is easy to fix. Just use a photo editor (Picasa is a good free one) and change the color temperature on the Photo. You can even set your phone to sync the Gallery with Picasa. It takes all of 10 seconds to fix the color balance on a picture if you use the neutral color picker function.
