I used Plastic Booster (a cleaner for plastic food containers) to clean the plastic cover on my old Shadow camera before and it made quite a difference. I think mine was due to just sweat/dirt that discolored the plastic and made everything blurry.

Ok, got my SGS2 a few days ago, Installed KIES and Samsung drivers.... When I try to flash an insecure kernel on my phone (To obtain root permissions), Odin keeps getting stuck on zImage... Anybody got a solution??
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dork05:
Make sure you are flashing the correct kernel version and that all kier processes are closed.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
As per that post a couple above yours, make absolutely 100% sure that Kies/any of its processes are not running in Windoze Task Manager. Can't stress this enough.

Failing that, could be a bad download, try downloading the kernel (I presume you're trying to flash a kernel that has CWM ?) again.

Also, uninstall Kies. Reboot your PC, download a fresh copy of Kies (you need the drivers for Odin to work), fresh reinstall of Kies. Reboot & try flashing the kernel again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flylife2k:
thanks for the fast reply! I did have kies open earlier it may have not closed correctly, i'll try a reboot first before uninstalling and reinstalling kies

thank you

ok ive tried that but no joy

just to clarify im not trying to install a new rom - just trying to install clockworkmod (have downloaded the tar file from this site) and have rooted my s2

i used the new method mentioned on this site to root my s2 which only installs SuperUser and nothing else hence me wanting to install CWM

..still searching for a solution, any help appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phistachio:
Uninstall KIES. It's safe. Samsung USB drivers are a different package.

Change ports, re-download, etc. Make sure your cable is in a good state.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flylife2k:
quick update, i've uninstalled kies and tried again but no luck. I've also tried a different cable but again nothing

I'm thinking perhaps it might be the .tar file itself - I initially mentioned I downloaded it from this site but now i've realised it wasn't from this site but another... rootingdroid .com

maybe I need to re-download CWM (if available from here) and try again

Also worth mentioning my phone is network locked to Orange (but I dont believe this would have an affect on anything)

Is there a way to lower the minimum brightness on an SGS to below the "normal minimum"?

[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
No, but there are apps and tools that put a grey overlay over everything to further darken the screen.

Cyanogen ROMs have it already built in.

There was also an app on the market that could do that, i can't remember the name though.

Google for something like "android nightmode".

[Networking] leluloota:
Hi,

My service operator is not same as my network operator I must manually configure GPRS/MMS settings to my mobile. A guess my operator is called like "virtual operators" or "service operators" and they don't have own network.

I was wondering that could some one know are GPRS / MMS settings for different operators inside the firmware. Or how device can have settings automatically (depending of operator). I mean that if I use SIM card from my network operator settings are automatically, but not for my own subscription which is from virtual operator.

If these settings are in firmware I should be able to modify these settings. My target is that when I reset my mobile I can have my own operator settings automatically.

Does someone know the facts for this.

Regards,

Leluloota

This thread serves as a helpline for newbs in the community of Optimus One!

Note:Some roms/kernel may not have been included as I've find roms using ciaox's thread on "REPOSITORY OF USEFUL POSTS IN LG P500 FORUM". If there are any roms/kernel that was left out, feel free to kindly pm me the link of the forgotten rom.

And...let the fingers type! Oh and by the way, this will take at least 3 days from aug 18 so cut me some slack!

Files needed to do any operations are actually attached by links at the bottom of the thread

ROOTING:

2.2= z4root

Instuctions:

1.Click on root
2.Wait till it reboots

2.2.1/2.2.2=Gingerbreak

Instructions:

1. Download Gingerbreak
2.Enable debugging on USB. To do this, go to Options -> Applications -> Development -> Debugging USB. Put a tick.
3. Run Gingerbreak
4. Choose a Root mode
5. Wait a few minutes. If there are no problems, then the device will reboot (note that rebooting can take a long time, so we are waiting)
6. Rejoice!

All this instructions are for use when you are using your phone! (means that you do not need to use pc.)

Files:

Z4root - link is currently broken, wait a while longer or you could help me search:rolleyes:

Gingerbreak - http://www.multiupload.com/UFEYOBKD60

Installing Recovery System:

This is a bit hard so remember to follow every step or you might end up wiping your phone as default recovery is to wipe and reinstall android system.

Also, do this with your phone as well but I recommend Wifi Keyboard downloadable from the market to type the following commands. Download terminal emulator as well as we would be needing that.

Step 0. Download flash.img and whatever recovery (CMW, AmonRa, etc..) you want into the root of your sd card

Step 1. Open up terminal Emulator

Step 2. Change to Wifi Keyboard or use your preferred keyboard.

Step 3. If you are using Wifi keyboard, check the instruction manual

Step 4. Type the following instructions into terminal emulator with a space in between every line

su
*space*
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock1 /system
*space*
cat /sdcard/flash_image > /system/bin/flash_image
*space*
chmod 755 /system/bin/flash_image
*space*
mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak

Till here, you should only have either 1 or 0 errors from terminal emulator and if u do have 1 error, it should only be from the last step :"mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.bak" If this goes perfectly, proceed below, if not, do not proceed but check for spelling errors as if you proceed wrongly, you might wipe your phone (PM me with unidentifiable problem). If its all perfect like I said above, proceed below :)

*space*
flash_image recovery /sdcard/[COLOR="Blue"](name of recovery - such as OMG.img)[/COLOR]

Step 5. Wait for it to reboot into recovery...If it shows a box with a arrow pointing from the box to the droid robot, you screwed up. Wipe your tears and repeat from step 1-5.

Help needed: Can someone pass me the latest CMW recovery file by pm and also z4root apk?

Howdy all,

*** Hey guys ALL Sources are available via my GitHub ***

https://github.com/pvyParts

As you may have seen i've Ported from the HTC Sensation Originaly by birgertime, these are some EPIC some Status Bar tweeks.

they alow you to edit the

Clock options (colors/am pm settings/hide)

Battery options (text/automagically colored text based on battery level/hide icon)

The App also supports

Alternate Lock Screens

Signal options (color/dbm text/hide)

But these are NOT implemeted YET

what i have included in the zip is a systemUI.apk based on stock with all the mods done to it. The apk has been moded to alow for tranparent status bars aswell so it should be easy to theme. :D

Sorry it has the Colored icons when connected to google aswell. :P (credits to )

Note - Status bar text colors come from the framework! so they may be a little out for you.

PLEASE take a nandroid first! so it is easy to undo

Feel free to use it in ROMs but kindly link back to this thread in the credids to keep up to date with the progress as i make it.

also standard disclaimers apply i'm not responsible for dammages.

EDT only, stock + transparent

Here are the xRecovery packages to install EDT Tweaks I had prepared (EDT battery/clock only, no icon colors)

I just used "StatusBarPolicy.smali", as modified by pvyParts.

All the work of porting EDT to our X10 was done by pvyParts, and made available first in this rom

It works fine on Wolf's WB GB but should work on most 2.3 roms. It won't remove any tweak.

Installing this will not uninstall the Circle Battery Mod, you can have both installed at the same time. Make sure to hide the default battery in the EDT Tweaks settings.

Installation:

- in xRecovery, install custom.zip, select xRecovery-EDT_Tweaks

- launch EDT Tweak (authorize root permissions) and set up the battery/clock to your liking.

Make sure to uncheck "show battery icon" if you want to replace it with the text percentage else both will be displayed.

You may have to wait a minute for the settings to be applied.

- if you think you will never need to change the settings you can delete /system/app/EDT.apk using a file explorer with root

To uninstall:

- use a theme restore package or install another theme

- delete /system/app/EDT.apk using a file explorer with root like Estrongs File Explorer (free from Market)

New, more choice and QuickPanel:

You can use those packs on top of themes, 25% is the style used in the Clear theme.
