Actually, QCSBL and OEMSBL (the two partitions mentionned before) are executed before HBOOT, on the radio itself (not on the apps processor like HBOOT). Hence the possibilty of unbricking through QCSBL even if HBOOT is corrupt. Could you upload the two partitions? (mmcblk0p1 and mmcblk0p3), it would be much appreciated.
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
this is interesting............ if this works, our phone will be unbrickable !!!!!!!!
[HTC Desire S] xd.bx:
Not exactly, if you manage to erase one of the first bootloaders (QCSBL or OEMSBL) then only a JTAG will save you. And this will cost $$$.

i am a noob at using adb,so im not sure if im doing it right

im getting the message " cannot open for write:read-only file system"
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
If you could paste the screen output from before the adb shell ....
[HTC Desire S] xd.bx:
right. first be sure you are root in your shell (you see a # instead of $). if not root, start the command "su"

then, make sure the SD card is currently not mounted on your PC, if you run the "df" command it should appear in the output as mounted on /mnt/sdcard/ (or maybe /sdcard/)
[HTC Desire S] kartikk:
got it to work :D

i got the two files & i ziped them

see if these are the right ones

edit:@xdbg im using prerooted custom roms, i have root

i restarted my device & it worked

Thanks a lot, I'll have a look and compare with mine.

Hi there.

I wanted to see the MHz of my CPU cores while screen is off, so I need a command to use in "adb shell".

I've tried cat /proc/cpuinfo like on a normal linux machine, but no good here.. No MHz are shown.

Any ideas?

My School is not listed, are there other ways to become an account ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hextor_PL:
There is not a problem that your school is not listed. You should buy a ISIC card, and then use it to register on DreamSpark program. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tessut:
ISIC Card ?

What is that ISIC and where can I buy this Card ? in my School ?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hextor_PL:
ISIC means International Student Identity. I would give you a link, but it's forbidden (I am beginner here). So you have to use a Google, write ISIC and look at first founded web page. There you find information about that card and where you can buy it. For example i got it for free when i registered to university sport club.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DevilzGtr:
I've just noticed recently that I am getting a green spot problem instead of a pink spot with the default Camera app (on Exynos 3.4 GOLD Rom) and Vignette camera app.

Does anybody else have this problem? and is there any way to fix it?

Here is a picture sample I took that clearly shows the problem:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
I was following the phone unlocking guide in a sub-forum got my unlock code, powered off, inserted a different sim, powered on. I didn't get a request for a code; phone started up fine except no network access. I got a message a short while after something like android.phone stopped working.

Turned the phone off, put original sim back in and turned the phone on. All the phone will do is flicker the backlight every couple of seconds. 3-button recovery will take me to "Downloading..." and sit there. Flashing to Gingerbread using Odin will get to the RESET and phone will power off and phone will sit there screen flashing as before.

Anything I can do to resolve this?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Look HERE. Hope its helping!

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
Yep, I just done that. Now the phone will not power on at all. It will show as a device in Odin and Device Manager but no power comes up. It will not even go into recovery either.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Firstly: For me worked(not in unlock, but in some other cases, where other soft fails) the STOCK ..XXKC1. Try to flash it. Dose you put you phone in to "Download" mode for Odin?

Where you get that UNLOCK? From here?

These are the questions, what I want answers. Maybe after that I can say surely.

TIA!

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
I was following the guide [TUTORIAL]How to Network Unlock Samsung Galaxy Ace Via ADB. Phone didn't ask for unlock code when I put a Vodafone sim in my o2-locked Ace. Shortly after putting the Vodafone sim in it said something like Android.phone force closed.

I can flash any firmware but so far the phone will not boot. The screen will just flash after flashing firmware and I can put it in Downloading recovery but nothing else happens so far.

Could it be something to do with the phone storage being screwed up? I followed the tutorial word for word and got my code and everything.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Sorry, then. I cant answer. Dont know that. Maybe better to ask in that thread, from where you followed the TUTORIAL, how to unlock.

Go back to that thread and ask in there.

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jc_master:
I,m The owner of the Unlocking post and i feel like i need to help, Last night i was "Playing" ClockWork Recovery and i touched the "Fix Permissions" option, the phone got stucked and i waited like 10 minutes and nothing happend so i long pressed the power button for a hard reset and when the phone turned on it made the same thing that your did, it sended me a message like yours and the phone started acting weird, and throw me a lot of other error messages so i rebooted the phone and the same, so i entered the recovery again and made a wipe/data and calvik cache, turned the phone back on and problem solved, if it does not work try this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1071970 and you can install a custom rom wich is better than stock, i suggest FirstUA-ROM, i hope this was helpfull and im sorry that this happens to your phone.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Jc_master:
Also to enter the recovery is, Home + Power on button
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Thx for dropping in and clearing things.;)

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
Hi mate. Thanks for dropping in. I cannot enter recovery; the phone just does what happens in the OP - it just flashes. I can only enter 3-button recovery. So far I've tried 5 different firmware 2 Froyo (inc stock) and 3 different Gingerbreads found droidangel.blogspot.com/2011/05/samsung-galaxy-ace-s5830-original-stock.html. Will try a custom firmware but otherwise will try and take the phone back to o2 tomorrow.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] casiocas:
Hey!

Dont take it back to SERVICE, before you not get flashed back to STOCK firmware or they can MAYBE, see that you not in stock firmware. Just saying it, that you DONT get in to trouble, with warranty.

CHEERS! :cool:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] russ18uk:
Yeah too it into o2 this morning. Luckily the dipshits that work there don't know anything. He just plugged it into his laptop and ran Kies. It's being sent off though. Hopefully will be sorted in warranty for free :o
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mscofield07:
Hello,

To solve this problem, did you activate the warranty?

I have the same problem, none of the existing ROM work, or find another solution?

Hello guys!

I use Missed It! on my lockscreen with a counter for WhatsApp,

and its working fine.

The problem is when i get a message on WhatsApp but I don't read it,

WhatsApp displays to the contact who sent the message that I read it.

It's not a big deal, but it's annoying.

This only appears when I use Missed It!.

I searched on the forums and in google but I didn't find anything.

Is there a solution for this problem?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mofirouz:
Is there anyway that you could make the changes in an script, so we can apply them to other roms too (like MIUI)?

Thanks!

Mo.

P.s. I mean the once that you can obviously convert to an script (like noaccesstime and readahead)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] frewys:
Interesting! Who doesn't like "tweaks"!? Thanks(:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nexxx85:
This should also work with any MIUI/CM7 ROM.

I dont use MIUI so I cant test it.

Make a Backup, flash the zip and test it. If it works, please report here, so i can update the post!

If its not working, restore your backup ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ZhuraYuk:
Does it exist VoodooColor for i9100?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nexxx85:
Not yet...but if you install a kernel, which supports voodoo color, you get a very nice colorprofile! ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] traspler:
Thank you for this zip :)

I don't really see the reaseon to delete all these apps (except for the books app as this service is not available everywhere) so I'd love to know how to change this in your zip so I get the other tweaks but keep the apps.

What exactly does the VoodooColor stuff do?

Zipaligning on each boot? Is that really needed? I thought you'd do that once for all apks an then it's done and good...

Do the noatime, swapping, dritystate writeback and minfree tweaks have any drawbacks/problems?

I manually changed the DPI settings on my Desire once and some apps (like Frenzic) didn't like that too much...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nexxx85:
I dont use these apps, so I delete it ;) Maybe I upload a 2nd version (without removing apps)

VoodooColor -> see my last post

The zipaligning script checks if there are any NONzipaligned apps, if yes, they are zipaligned

No Problem here (so far)

Hm...i only decreased the dpi from 240 to 200 ... got no problems (so far ;) ) I use this script for 2 weeks now
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ZhuraYuk:
And what kernels support it?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] pcboyy:
I just tested on Miui. Its not fully working 100%. Status bar gets FC. The dpi works. But there are some misalignment
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mofirouz:
Erm, the only problem I have is the StatusBar and thats due to the density change. Could you please tell me what the original density is?

For everyone else, if you apply this tweak on your MIUI rom, it will "hide" the statusbar. You would need to change the density back to the original.

Edit: Never mind, found it. It is 233. Will post a link soon.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mofirouz:
For MUI

Hello.

For MIUI users, I have *slightly* modified the zip file and have uploaded here:

http://www.mofirouz.com/wordpress/2011/08/samsung-galaxy-s2-miui-tweaks/

All credits goes back to nexxx85 for all hard work.

Thansk,

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mcreego:
maybe is a dumb question but now which kernel uses voodoo color on cm for sgs2?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Razer(x):
There's no modified CM7 kernel at the moment, so there's no kernel which supports voodoo color
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nexxx85:
Thanks for your replies regarding MIUI.

Ive uploaded a ZIP for MIUI with standard density (233). Thanks to mofirouz!

I will upload a version without APP REMOVAL later!

EDIT:

Seperated app removal to a flashable zip.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dactylion:
isnt 64mb Dalvik Heapsize enough?

doesnt cm aready use cfq? what is rotating storeage?

why use noatime?relatime for system,sdcard and emmc is enough.data and chache already use noatime.

SDCard readahead 2048kb.high readahead always has drawbacks...for example increased disk i/o and ram usage...benchmarking with standard sd benches is pointless if u read from ram cause of readahead.it all depends on usage patterns.what is the standard readahead value?

Disabled swapping:did android ever swap? dont think so.

Windowevents set to 60 any drawbacks? higher cpu i/o and ram usage i guess.

Increased dirtystate writeback times (less battery usage):pls provide a figure.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nexxx85:
64 vs 70: Why not give Dalvik a bit more room to work?

cfq is standard for CM7, but its set again to give all options needed for optimization... cfq is default optimized for rotating storage (like HDD) but sgs2 uses flash storage (no moving parts ;) )

why use relatime..i dont need any accesstimes

sdcard readahead...we have enough ram+cpu power.. so why dont speed up the slow sdcard?

dunno if swap is enabled by default...gotta take a look later

windowevents 60: why dont enjoy smooth ui with all that power inside ;)

higher writebacktimes means lower sdcard/cpu usage -> lower battery usage

This is my optinion for all the tweaks! If Iam wrong, please correct me
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Dactylion:
then use noop or deadline scheduler i would suggest.maybe access times are needed for some ppl or programms. theres a reason for relatime...

what is the default writeback and windowevents value?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kryptoner:
@OP, you said you are using this for two weeks, please give your feedback on battery life...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nexxx85:
Default windowevent value is 55

I never had any problems on any (of my 4) linux machines with noatime (but ill keep it in mind for android)

I think CFQ performance (optimized for ssd) == noop or deadline ( but ill take a look later)

@kyptoner

Used Mobile data the half time (see diagram)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] nexxx85:
But VR uses the Ninphetamine Kernel and thus it will probably work. ;)

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] andresalonika:
What configuration you recommend in order to have fully functional enviroment with 200dpi? In terms of custom roms, launchers, apps etc. I really like 200dpi but i want to keep as stock as possible!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Aanze:
My feeling is that you won't be really satisfied with 200 dpi interface if you want to stay that close to stock.

I used to play with Go Launcher and GoDialer wich provide a full multidpi interface, pretty customisable. And it's kinda smooth and elegant combined with 200dpi CM rom.
