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

I have just got my new Galaxy S2 today and I'm very pleased with it!

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the device as a bluetooth headset for things like Skype on my PC - is that possible?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abufinzio:
use skype also on the phone, you can keep both open and answer only winth one, like the gs2 and chat with pc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arret:
I would have a similar question.

I have a private phone which is a Samsung Galaxy S2 and a company phone. Both have bluetooth and are paired.

Is it possible to use the Galaxy S2 as a headset for my company phone? So that I can have my company phone in my notebook bag or somewhere near but I would be able to answer calls with my Samsung Galaxy S2?

Does anyone know how to possibly take off that really ugly album art on the default music player; the random images that are assigned if you don't have album art. Love the stock music player but the album art really annoys the heck out of me.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] tomuknz:
I would like to know as well!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonny68:
Not really relevant to your question but i can totally recommend getting Power Amp from the market the best music player for Android, i don't think ive ever actually used the stock music player.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] mostyle:
Indeed. If you have the images you'd prefer, shoot them to me. I'll set you up. I found them in the 'SystemUI.apk' file and gree that they are horrid at best. :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] TotalCrisis:
I know this is asking a lot, but it would be really cool if you could create a thread detailing how to make these changes. A lot of users, myself included would be really interested in learning how to do this.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
Ill step up here. Its really quite easy and once you can do this you can go on to do other theme changes easily.

I agree the album art is horrendous.

The images are in (for me) : musicplayer.apk

from : music_player_thumb_01 to music_player_thumb_08

size : 480 x 480

What you want to do is get hold of your MusicPlayer.apk From system/app

Ive found the easiest way to get it onto my pc is just locate it with a filemanager,

hold my finger on it then click send to. I then either send it to my pc via bluetooth or send it to my dropbox. You can also copy and paste it to your SD/phone storage and the use the wire to put it on your pc but wireless is easy/lazier just how i like it.

Once you have the apk on your pc open it up with 7zip and go to :

res/drawable-hdpi

(the location of most of the images).

Now just inject your files into this folder overwriting the other ones.

If you want just extract the drawable-hdpi folder so you can take a look at the images and see what you want to edit.

Next you either put it in a flashable zip or use root explorer or some filemanager to copy it over manually.

I can provide a flashable zip if you need.

Im gonna knock some galaxy images together in that size and replace the old ones, ill share them here when im done.

Hope this helps.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] esk02k:
Heres how it looks and the files but there are still some frugly thumbnails to take care of :

Couldn't have said it better.. That's the easiest way to do it.

Can you experienced doods, help out a noob? I have recently rooted my phone (after MUCH research and reading) and just installed Set CPU app. I have been reading about the different settings for Set CPU, and it appears to be device specific, so I wanted to know if any can suggest some stable and useful settings and profiles I can use.

My goal would be to extend battery life and increase erformance while the phone is being used. I kinda guess this is most peoples reason for using this app. Slow the CPU down while the screen is off, and increase it a bit when the screen is on. I am not totally sure why you adjust it while it is charging. And wold this fi into the screen is off profile.

Ok enough rambling, and thanks for any assistance!
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Forget SETCPU. Voltage Control is the way to go. For battery life, I would underclock to 100-800mhz and have -100mv all through the range. For performance, 100-1400 mhz (1.5 & 1.6 ghz are heavily overvolted) and have -100mv from 100-1000 mhz and -75 for 1100-1400. Leave the governers and io schedulers where they are.

[Verizon Droid Charge] gdubya34:
Using the voltage control within SetCPU or a voltage control app?

Thanks

Edit: after installing set CPU my phone seems to be running slower than usual. So, I ran a quadrant benchmark and it is coming up with much lower scores than it did before. Is there any way to set it back to the original cpu speeds with out deleting the app?
[Verizon Droid Charge] sneakysolidbake:
Delete setcpu and get voltage control from the market.
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
+1 for this

running Imoseyon's OC/UV test kernel:

100-1000mhz uv -75

1200-1400 uv -50

smooth as butter and fast when it needs to be, getting a little over 2200 in quadrant :cool:
[Verizon Droid Charge] gdubya34:
Thanks, can I use this with imnuts OTB kernal?
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
you should be able to yeah.. try a different set of settings every day to find whats the most fast and stable on your phone, what works on mine may not necessarily work on yours or someone elses :)

[Verizon Droid Charge] zeuswsu:
Tried those settings and my phone froze a few times so I upped the voltage to get it to work for me. This is my first time overclocking a phone. Do any of these settings look strange using voltage control?

100-400mhz uv-75

800-1000mhz uv-50

1200-1300mhz uv-25

I haven't froze yet, although I noticed my battery drains a little faster then normal (that was expected).
[Verizon Droid Charge] praveen1789:
hmmm.... The GummyCharged GBE 1.9RC1 8/13/11 kernel is not incompatible with the Voltage control free app. :mad:

Error message "Unsupported kernel detected. The kernel your device is running is incompatible with Voltage control."
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
GummyCharge GBE is gingerbread which means stock kernel, no voodoo and therefore no changing of voltage settings

blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
[Verizon Droid Charge] praveen1789:
Gotcha! Thanks to that.

Now I have a crazy question below. (trust me there are even more questions all over my mind now)

When they say "ROM", I'm assuming that its collective of Kernel, all the apps and the radio.... Can't we just downgrade the kernel of "GummyCharge GBE" Rom?
[Verizon Droid Charge] Khanusma:
These gave me a reboot watching netflix on wifi. Will try -25 @ 1300 and see what happens. Thanks for the post though. Its a great starting place for me.

running humble 1.51
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
Yeah those are kinda high 'performance' settings, not all phones like being overclocked or undervolted much less both lol.. Start with it just overclocked for a day or two and see how it runs, however there's gonna be some serious battery drain obviously. Then move on to undervolting slowly like maybe -25 across the board and leave 1400 alone for another day or two... just experiment like this until you have the right balance of speed, stability and battery life. As a matter of fact I toned mine down a bit afterwards and it worked nice:

Overclocked to 1.2ghz (1200mhz),

took out 600mhz frequency and set 100 to -75, then 200-800 at -50, 1000 and 1200 at -25

or if you want battery life and don't mind sacrificing a little performance you can underclock to 800mhz and set all to maybe -75... its a lot of testing to find what works for your phone, if it reboots freezes or lags too much its either overclocked too much or undervolted too much

edit: I also use the free voltage control app from the market, it lets you set min. and max. clock speeds as well as voltage so thats all I need lol

blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
Roms are not always all inclusive with a kernel and whatnot.. Most are custom apps, themes, and build/framework remakes to operate on top of the stock roms and will use stock radio and kernel to operate unless a custom radio/kernel is flashed. While most radios and apps will work well with different roms, kernels (being basically the 'engine' for the android OS i believe) are dependant on baseband and will not work by switching them around or flashing one over the other. This is the way I understand it to be anyway, I just know kernels are not compatible between 2.2 and 2.3

blazing through on my VZ Droid Charge 4G
[Verizon Droid Charge] praveen1789:
Makes sense. I'm sure the apps and radio are dependent on the kernel as it is the core. (like an Operating system that provides the platform for applications to work.)

I'm sure the developers thoroughly test these combinations before releasing any ROM, .

However I want to have some fun updating the kernel on the GC GBE 1.9 that I currently have on my charge with couple other kernels out there.... ;)

Will see if I create some magic :D
[Verizon Droid Charge] anoninja118:
don't use froyo kernels with GB (as of right now there's only one custom GB kernel, navenedrobs nameless ext4 one), it will just lead to a soft bricked phone... i could be wrong but i think imnuts and imoseyon from team gummy are working on some GB kernel awesomeness

[Verizon Droid Charge] gdubya34:
What about the noop, fifo, bfq, vr options? What do these mean?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Don't touch them. They will either make your phone crawl or have FCs. It hasn't been implemented in the kernel yet.

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyFroyo 1.9.1
[Verizon Droid Charge] gdubya34:
Oh crap,:eek: I am not sure what one it was on when I installed it. I think I changed it by accident. right now it is on the vr setting.

Are there any setting s to avoid when messing with the voltage control, and if I delete the app does go back to the default settings?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
To avoid: IO schedulers, overvolting (only done in Extreme), and going above 1400 mhz, as 1500 & 1600 are HEAVILY overvolted. Toasted processors=bad magic.

However, you can switch the governers from conservative to performance, but its kind of useless.

If you delete the app it will NOT go back to default...I think. The default io scheduler for imoseyon's kernel is deadline, I forgot what PBJ's is. If you switched it and its still working, don't worry about it.

i need ClockworkMod Recovery for samsung s5670 plzz help me i need this for work kitchen themes
[Android Themes] invincible authority:
That is not available yet. But you can try flashing the CWM available for G-Mini as they are similar phones and I read in a post that G-Mini's ROM is working on G-Fit. Therefore CWM for G-Mini might work on G-Fit too. You can try and if this works then please post. It will bring a revolution.......

Praying for your success ......

Just found this on Pocket-lint.com ..

Link

http://www.pocket-lint.com/news/41489/windows-phone-7-mango-1-september

So let me guess, Verizon will be March 2012 ? :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Extreme boy:
Well its just a rumor :|
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
True, but it was also a rumor that the Mango beta was going to be released to developers, and that happened. It was also a rumor that Mango was RTM, and just a couple of days later that was also confirmed.

There are a couple of good reasons to unveil it at that time. Not only would it beat Apple and Google to the punch, giving WP7 (mostly) undivided media attention for a month or so, but it would allow new devices to be announced at IFA. Seems like a good plan to me.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikebaz:
I would be very surprised if it was not available in time for the Build conference, so Sept 1 feels right. I certainly expect every paid Build attendee will be getting a Mango phone of some sort.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domineus:
I don't, would be nice

although september first would be really ideal. TO beat the apple crunch but also for OEMs to churn out new F/W updates too
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny17:
It should be landing around that time. I mean, it is done and all. So the release is immanent.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Purple11:
Damn if its Sep 1 for first class users like ones with branded contract wp7 users .. Than I think my unbranded, expansys unlocked German Samsung Omnia 7 will get it by Mid November .. :'(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Yea, but, after NoDO, that was a mess...

Let's hope they release it to Zune to everyone on Sept 1st but, I wonder what the carriers are going to do, if they stop it or not.

At least things look like it's possable to happen but, this did not come directly from Microsoft, so take it with a grain of salt...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoboDad:
It won't be coming to Zune on September 1st. That's already a given. Plus, when it is ready I expect Microsoft to release it to us on a rolling schedule, not all at once. Any release on that date will likely be in the form of new hardware announcements, and possibly the announcement of the initial schedule for delivery to existing phones.

As for Nodo, technically no carriers blocked it. If they had, there would be people out there who were still running 7004 due to carrier block, and that isn't the case. NoDo is available right now for every phone. The whole "carrier blocking" issue was a mole hill made into a mountain.

What some carriers did (which was pathetic and reprehensible) was take far too long during their internal testing and updates to their own apps. What should have been a 4 week process ended up being a 4 month process in some cases.

Whether Microsoft will be able to motivate them to be quicker this time is anyone's guess, but one thing that is different is that we know the exact date that the carriers all received the final build of Mango (and we also know that they received earlier builds as well for development purposes).

Unfortunately, for now all we can do is wait and see what happens.

Quick question, dunno if its been posted but is there a way for me to get the 3d Google maps?
[HTC EVO 3D] keejung:
sorry i dont have a evo 3d so i'm sorry if im wrong and there is a dedicated google 3d map... anyway... with the g maps app, there are only certain cities that are in 3d, san francisco ca is the only one i can think of at the moment.... to change to 3d mode youhave to take two fingers and swipe down on the map to change it... cant remeber how far you need o zoom....
[HTC EVO 3D] YoungSinema:
I don't think there is a specific 3d Google Maps. I think there's just certain areas where the buildings are displayed in 3d.
[HTC EVO 3D] dumasauce:
Not all areas will have that "feature", and like keejung says, certain cities (most likely major cities) have it.
[HTC EVO 3D] sonic41592:
It would be awesome if google made a gmaps special for the evo 3d that used the 3d screen for the buildings to pop out
[HTC EVO 3D] TaintedByte:
If you are referring to the 3D looking 2D maps, to have them work (like others have said, they don't work in all areas) you hold two fingers on the screen and swipe them up.

Battery life with exchange... Are anyone who gets these 20 hour batter life times on an exchange server and gmail?

I get almost 14, better than stock as acid has improved life.

I'm doing another calibration now to try and be exact on the recharge.

Facebook isn't syncing si the only culprit I see is exchange.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
Yeah when I took exchange email off my battery life improved drastically.. even after changing sync settings it wasn't enough help
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
Isn't exchange always syncing?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mbernusg:
No u can change it from push all the way to sync every 4 hours or more
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoop_dtx:
Well then that's my problem... I need it on sync all the time!

Ok seems 12 hours on a freshly calibrated battery, meaning this morning 12 hours ago i wiped the battery stats clean. This is 5 hours MORE than when i had it stock. This is 3 hours more when i got Kd1 Stock thru kies mini.

On redux V1 i did get 17 hours...so not really worried here.

I used it all day for work...not bad. I have no way to stop exchange...i need it.

I will report back tomorrow!

I'm on REDUX V1.1

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aibo:
You can' do it, honeycomb doesn't support installation on external sd cards for now. Vanilla honeycomb can't even write on external sdcards, for exemple on the motorola xoom. You can read/write on some tablets thanks to the respective manufacturer's 'tweak'.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickoT:
I dont want to store the apps on the SD card, just the data, downloads, photos taken from the camera, ect. all I see is a Removable\MicroSD folder which I can browse to, read/write to, but I want all the data on my apps to go to it too just like on my phone, so when I wipe, all my stuff is still there (In theory)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aibo:
They won't be deleted even if they are on the internal storage even after wiping. It acts as a sdcard.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wikid24:
I might be mistaken, but thanks to the honeycomb 3.2 OS update, it IS possible now that they've opened up the API to the developers.

Unfortunately, it actually depends on the application developers to make use of it... Leave some comments on the android market for your apps and maybe they will do it.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AedanD:
Hi guys.

I recently purchased Samsung galaxy sII and got it rooted. I'am not sure that if this is the source of the problem but ill describe what i did in hopes that someone will know how to help me...

I installed Litening rom on the first try and used it until decided to try other roms so i got here and grabbed the first one from the list in the Android Development section. Am not sure about the name of the rom but both of them worked as awesome as roms could get.

One day i downloaded Optimize tool box and when I was deleting cache i noticed that market had over 10 mb's of cache [am noob with smartphones] but when compared to the cache that other apps had it was quite a lot.. when i cleared it and clicked home button phone froze... Nothing worked so i decided to pull battery out. After that the phone was stuck at loading animation. After that I cleared all internal cache of the phone, reinstalled rom and it worked. But now am having a weird problem. From time to time phone either shuts down by itself or when remains screen locked for a period of time it remains black [home button does not return me to the lock screen, instead it remains black] and i have to reboot it to get it to work again.

Tnx in advance

Has anyone posted a mod to disable the jpg compression algorithm on the stock EVO 3D app? My 5mp pictures are stored around 500-700 kB. My pictures look good on my phone, but horrible when blow up to monitor size. I've seen references to jpg compression on other devices, but nothing shows up in a search for the EVO 3D.
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
Mine shown like that when is in really dark conditions but the rest of the pictures show more then 1mb
[HTC EVO 3D] jason62082:
That would indicate some level of compression. A higher density of one's or zero's allows for greater compression. At 2560x1440x24 bits per pixel ~ 11 MB. So, if my image is 500 kB, the image is compressed to 4.5% of the raw image size. Obviously we are losing quality. This seems to be the standard medium compression (Q=25). I just wish we'd have the option to set the level.
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
i think the camera.apk on our phone is specific to HTC, Sense 3.0 and the EVO 3D as it has to have support for the 2d/3d modes.

without looking at the camera.apk file, my guess would be, in order to modify that type of setting, the apk file would probably need to be decompile and somebody will have to search thru the decompiled pieces to locate the compression information/setting.

unless the camera.apk reads a setting file from its /data/data directory in order to set the compression level, which i doubt, decompiling, modifying and recompiling is the only method which comes to mind ...

sorry, its not a very positive or easy solution...
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
The sounds like a lot of work, I'll stick with the current settings, thanks for the info
[HTC EVO 3D] jason62082:
I don't really care about fixing 3D mode. Maybe we could compile the 2D camera app from AOSP?

Jason
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
definitely, thats compiled all the time in cm7. hopefully soon cm7 will be fully functional on evo 3d.

by way of AOSP camera.apk, here are the files:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=platform/packages/apps/Camera.git;a=tree

believe it or not, grepping for the phrase compress returned a few very helpful lines:

http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=pl...Camera.git&a=search&h=HEAD&st=grep&s=compress

the line which stands out to me the most:

source.compress(CompressFormat.JPEG, 75, outputStream);

it is very possible, if the adjustment options for compression were properly added to the settings in the camera.apk and pushed to cm7, they would probably accept it.

if you wanted to compile for yourself, now that we have root and nand unlock, thats also possible!

the only potential issue i'm not 100% sure about would be camera drivers for the kernel and the AOSP version of camera.apk working properly with ours ....
