[Galaxy S II General] aydc:
I've flashed a lot of test ROMs and a lot of official ROMs. I haven't seen any quality or speed difference between them. Actually, I haven't seen any real difference between ROMs since KE7. I feel like they are changing some small thing no one cares about and changing the version number.

At this point, the only reason I'm flashing everything new is to see if the Android OS bug is gone. So let's try this one and find out...
[Galaxy S II General] tfn:
Will you be doing a frankeinstein for us please I hate to keep wiping all the time :D

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S II General] eybee1970:
there is no Android OS bug....never been there since I first flashed XXKG1...it's just the percent number in batt stats that makes everybody believe it's a bug...I lose 1% battery within 10 hours standby (data enabled) and have 15% AOS usage...so: where is the bug? Its just the number making people believe in a bug that isn't there :)

Will you make a non-wipe version of KH1? I'll try it if you release non-wipe.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eysk:
Hey everyone - having a slight problem with my all-time favourite wallpaper (which I brought along from my Symbian device) in combination with GO Launcher Ex.

Whenever I try to choose it as my homescreen wallpaper it gets zoomed in and very pixelated - TouchWiz doesn't have that problem.

Unfortunately Google & site search weren't able to provide a satisfactory solution ..so, anyone have an idea how to get it working?

Try to get that pic in 480 x 800 resolution, it will fit perfectly for portrait mode wallpaper.

Sent from out of space using Thuraya 2 satellite !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eysk:
Cheers mate, seems to have worked!

Blew the pic up to 480*852 first and then cropped 52 pixels from the top (only black anyways).

Resolution still seems to be fine enough.

Guess another possibility would have been to make a new all black 480*800 image and copy mine into the centre of that ..

Mmh. Will try that aswell.

*edit*

Crap. Just installed the newest version of GO Launcher and back to zoomed wallpapers we are - regardless of size. Only way to fix it is to switch back to TouchWiz and then back to GO Launcher again - which sucks.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pfeffernuss:
What if you use Wallpaper Set and Save or Wallpaper Plus? They come out very sharp when I use apps like these.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gschot:
I have noticed this bug as well. I can get it resolved by going back to the default launcher temporarily, set the wallpaper there, then relaunch Go Launcher, and it seems to be correct. It only happens to portait pics where there is no background scroll though.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fred_up:
Could it not be due to the wallpaper being in scan mode (as you go through the 7 screens the background image moves along)? Because in my HD2 (in SD Android) would select a square-ish area from the centre of the image I wanted as a wallpaper. When I changed it to the same image for all screens, then the selection of the image was in the same shape as the screen.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eysk:
Are those Apps? Haven't heard of them before and might give it a shot - however there's probably also a certain increase in battery use associated with that method, something I'm not sure I'm prepared to accept.

Yup, exactly the same here. If only it weren't for the GO Launcher Calendar widget, I'd try another launcher or stick with stock TouchWiz ..

I have unticked that option, the background isn't scrolling.

Meh..

*edit*

The problem seems to be known but possibly not recognized as a problem by the GO Dev team:

- taken from http://twitter.com/#!/golauncher

Also, another possible solution seems to be https://market.android.com/details?id=org.tamanegi.wallpaper.multipicture - however, Live Wallpaper = more juice required.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mihapodb:
Same here happened. I just switch to TW luncher and back to GO luncher :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eysk:
Actually, installing the latest update of the GO Calendar widget seems to have fixed the problem.

When I installed it the wallpaper first bugged out again but when re-setting it, it worked fine without switching to TouchWiz. Perhaps that'll work for someone else, too.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robafet:
Had same problem, stopped using stock gallery to select wallpaper, and started using qpix to select wallpaper, and it works fine for me now. Seems problem for me was the stock gallery app I was using to select the wallpaper.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byobodybag:
Currently having the same issue and neither TW or GoLauncher is playing nicely with me.

GO Launcher Ex Zoomed Backgrounds

I am having a problem I am using GO Launcher Ex and my backgrounds appear to be zoomed in a little bit even though when I'm setting the wallpaper it is fully zoomed out with the orange box. It has only recently happened because it never did that before and it happens no matter what wallpaper I set.

Android 2.3.6 CheckROM GT-i9100

Anyone have any answers?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liamm:
Just an update: I found that switching back to twlauncher fixed the problem with the wallpaper! Switched back to Go Launcher Ex and it stayed fixed. Weird.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acidtaz2002:
In case that doesn't work

Hey I found that my background would not scroll if I swapped to the tw launcher and then back, and it seems that its the default wallpaper selector. I use wallpaper wizardii and choose the scroll option when setting wallpaper and it works great.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
I'd like to do some research on an Infuse 4g. If anyone has a busted phone, I'd like to do some reverse engineering on it. The work I do will benefeit the community and it will help out greatly with porting other OSs and working with alternate bootloaders. In order to get the information about the OM pins, I must remove the processor. I do not have the ability to replace the processor afterwards. The board will give it's life to help others.

It does not matter about condition.... won't turn on, water damaged, screen cracked, case broken.. I'd like to destructively examine the mainboard for component identification and location.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Aou:
If I had an extra $125 lying around to pay the insurance deductible (soon to be $199...), I would gladly 'lose' my phone for the cause.

Otherwise, I've seen a couple on craigslist, but the cheapest was $75 due to "toilet damage".
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
I purchased my phone outright for $600. It has no insurance and a few months of warranty. I would not recommend anyone participate if their phone is under warranty or warrantable.

If you have an extra device around, I'd like to document it and make something for everyone to use as a reference for hacking their devices.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Aou:
That would be awesome! I will keep an eye on eBay and craigslist for any dirt-cheap non-functional Infuses. I'd probably be willing to pay up to $25 for a cadaver.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
Bump, we've got a bootloader hello world running on the Captivate. I'd like to get this up and running on an infuse. It won't be long until we have a download mode for our processor.

Once we get download mode, we will be able to run a tethered boot of just about any ARM compatible operating system.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
Bump. This means unlocking the actual bootloaders.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] bulletproof1013:
This mod work.and works well. Bump for my wife's infuse.

Sent from my unBrickablE captivate.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
This is a reality, we just need a broken board to find out the mod.

it's one of the resistors near point B which needs to be removed and jumpered to another resistor.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] halfnelson117:
I do have an infuse that has been in a pool :) but it works well enough to use :(

Just curious as to what other OS's would actually be ported to the infuse and what the actual bootloader unlock could do

Ill keep looking for cheap ones when I get my new debit card ill get one if I can get it for under $50 bucks.

maybe we should start a donation thread to get a broken one for Adam?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
Bump! Still need an Infuse4G mainboard. Anyone got one with water damage, a broken screen, or anything? I need it to pull the processor off for analysis.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
I'm going to look for another broken infuse to buy to give to you, and if the worst comes, ill try to get some money and report mine as lost, and get another one.

Just a question, if you get this mod working, what exactly does it do?

Sent from my phone. :3
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
It works like this, you do the hardware modification once, and you can unbrick your phone under ANY circumstances like this:

[youtube]fw-D_cKeAb8[/youtube]

It enables uploading of the Hummingbird Interceptor Bootloader (HIBL). The HIBL enables uploading of unsecured code. You can upload bootloaders or kernels, or just about anything with the HIBL.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
So.. your telling me (watched that video), that you HARD bricked your phone, did a little hardware, and brought it back from the dead thanks to the HIBL? You sir, are a god amongst tech folk.

Sent from my phone. :3
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
Yes. I DELETED the Primitive and Secondary bootloaders totally from that device, used Ultimate UnBrick Resurrector to upload Download Mode to the device, then used Heimdall One-Click to reload firmware.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pumasmedina7:
I have an infuse with a busted sim card reader and it wont turn on pm me if its good for you
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
Dude, that would be SO helpful.

If you can, do it, the Infuse will be useless after that though (Processor removed, from what he's said), but I think you can just warranty replace it for another after that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] nsteger123:
So this is what we need to get other OS'es on the Infuse?

By other OS'es, you mean like the HD2 that has WP7, Android and everything?

OR does this mean better ROM's?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
This is where you start on other OS's. This for sure means better ROMs.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] himynamesnoah:
Someone please send this guy a phone!

Have you gotten any PM's about someone sending you one?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
pumasmedina7 just confirmed that he is sending me a device for teardown. After that I will apply the mod to my own device and start working on a one-click resurrector.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
So, if you don't mind me asking, why do you need to take off the hummingbird on the Infuse, and after you have, and have made the one-click resurrector (hopefully it works), how will we apply the mods ourselves?

Sorry if I'm asking you so many questions, but I'm so curious. :D
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
I need to map out the xOM resistors. There's 6 of them. Once I've mapped them out, I can post a mod thread. Once I've modded one I can post a how-to thread. First comes research, then development.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Longcat14:
Ahh, ok.

Can't wait until you have this done, but now that I know there's progress, I can happily wait and just watch until a new thread is posted. :)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] himynamesnoah:
If you don't mind me asking, how does this help porting other operating systems to the phone, and do you think you/we will be able to?

And how our what does this do to help with existing roms?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanElliott:
Wait. So in order to use these 'better roms' we have to soder our phones?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
Too much questions in this thread... I'm asking for a single device for developing a recovery method. This recovery method means different things for different people....

Developers: Once this is complete, you will be able to flash anything to your device for testing without danger of bricking your device. This mod will give developers e-balls. You don't need to worry about flashing bootloaders or ensuring safety of your device. Just flash it, try your mods out, if they don't work, try again.

End users: Once this is complete, you will have a DIY recovery method to reflash your device to stock if you screwed something up.

Please wait until I get the details hashed out. I have a device on the way and it's going to be a little while before I can make a mod thread and then a how-to thread.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] JordanElliott:
OK. Cool. Sorry. Lol
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
I still need an infuse 4g for teardown.

If anyone has one, please PM me or post in here, or both!

While it's not "technically" a GalaxyS device.. It's compatible and we have the potential to bring it up to being the best development device available in the GalaxyS series...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Main benefit of this would be a way to figure out a safe way to flash Gingerbread bootloaders.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] pdx 528e:
I have one for you. Let me know a shipping address (PM me) and I'll get it in the mail this week.

It is pretty much toast for practical purposes (fell off my vehicle and was run over a few times before I used prey to locate it via GPS), so the screen is half sand and it won't emit sound. However, I did use it for a while as a battery charger.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] AdamOutler:
I sent a PM on the 12th, I havn't heard back.

Posting that you will send a device and then dont send it is FAR WORSE than not offering. You're hindering progress. This is the 3rd time this has happened.

I need a busted Infuse4G for teardown. Someone help me help the community.

[Droid 2 Global General] twistedraisin:
Finally got annoyed and called VZ today about the D2G and asked about upgrade plans or timeline for gingerbread and was told they "had no plans or timeline for upgrading the droid 2 global to gingerbread."

I know the reps aren't always the best source of knowledge, but that seems to be a different story than other people have gotten, especially in the vz forums. If someone else wants to call and confirm, that'd probably be great.
[Droid 2 Global General] abalsor:
Whats the hurry for GB??? everything it had now works on Froyo, and after all the bugs the DX had i dont care when it comes out.. I have netflix and hulu+ so im good lol.... But the last news i heard was sometime after the D3, since it was running GB... so I'd expect it to be in Sept/Oct....
[Droid 2 Global General] twistedraisin:
Well, GB supposedly brings better battery life - I get maybe 8-10 hours of normal use out of my phone, and I want that to be longer. Second, the droid 3 has been out since mid-July.

Also, If the D2G hits end-of-life before the gingerbread update is released, it will probably never get it.
[Droid 2 Global General] ben7337:
Supposedly the D2G went EOL this month, and if not this month, I'd be willing to bet next month for sure. Moto did promise gingerbread for all these phones by the end of Q3, which is the end of september though, so who knows.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] papadawgg:
the milestone kernel does not support swap and since the bootloader wont be unlocked, it propably wont work ever. if you want a fast rom, i would recommend the newest cm7 or the froyomod 2.7. miui has a high memory demand, so its not very fast.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eXtink:
Just as papadawgg already said: Miui is a good looking ROM, it isn't build to be fast. If you want a fast ROM I can recommend you 3 different ROM's. Sorted from fastest to slowest:

1. TheFroyoMod by 89luca89: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=815595 FroYo

2. CM6 by Milaq: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1155454 FroYo

3. CM7 by nadlabak/kabaldan: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=941346 Gingerbread
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] jackeh070:
Either leave MIUI and use one of listed by eXtink, or get a new phone. As simple as that :P

(you can also learn to live with MIUI and all the goodness it brings)
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] m0fizor:
Also Cronos Ginger is a very fast rom. Google for it.

But, the most that i love is iceandfire. It has the features from CM7 (it IS built on CM7 by nadlablak) and almost the speed from FroyoMod.

The fastest ROM is Telus lite but it's very old and it's not gonna be updated.

You can use zeppelinrox's script to make some changes to the memory management.

So, my phone: iceandfire 3.0 + zeppelinrox's memory management script (with 8-26-28-28-30 values) + go launcher (or adw launcher) + 1gb ext partition + interactive governor + 250 (min) to 1000 (max) ghz cpu speed + 42 vsel = supreme milestone.

PS: i tested ALL the roms available for milestone.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] zviki:
Well,if you tested all roms for Milestone,then why on your list is not CM6 by Milaq,which is one of the best rom?For good rom it is not only important that it is fast when you call someone or open menu.Gingerbread roms just not work well on Milestone because of lack of RAM.Large apps,like navigation apps and HD games will be closed because of RAM.CM6 by Milaq is Gingerbread rom on Froyo kernel,so it have enough RAM for large apps and Gingerbread looks and feel with plenty CM7 functions.
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] TaintedCross:
Accually... I find the CM Roms even more laggy and unusable then Miui. And I've accually got my Miui running pretty well accually with a nice theme on it.

Cronos 1.4 is very very fast. What do you guys think the best rom for battery life is?
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] PhoenixNghi:
The best ROM for battery life is FroyoMod 2.6.1 or CM6
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] javachris:
Whowhooaa! Hold on to your pantyhose there cowboy! Smoking guns is not what we're looking for.

If we're talking about memory friendly ROMs where you can actually multitask, and I mean multitask, not run GMail and MMS app at a time, I mean GMaps and Camcorder at once multitask, then Telus 5.2 is the ROM to have. Even though it is Eclair, it is fast and offers a very good memory management.

Next on the list, but not as good as Eclair from the multitasking standpoint, it's CM6, but it has a major flaw from my POV. The camcorder freezes once in a while while recording in High quality. However, this issue can be solved my modding the media_profiles.xml file to look more like the stock Froyo (here's my post on that http://techmobility.blogspot.com/2011/08/motorola-milestone-how-to-make-best-of.html ). CM6 is smoother than Telus, but not so memory efficient.

But CM7 is at the bottom of the list here for both speed and memory management. It's slow as hell, and you can barely run 2 apps without the homescreen dying on you. Maybe the slowness is caused by the high memory consumption, who knows.

Maybe now that Google bought Motorola, we'll be seeing our bootloader unlocked and we'll be able to properly mod our Stones.

[Motorola Milestone Android Development] PsyCl0ne:
Hey OP,

There are a ton of "roms " posted for the milestone which ate developed by reputable people. The thing is though you're going to have to test out each rom and tweak them to your own phone. For example the latest release by HO!NO! Is possibly the only Tom that acts like my phone is running at 1GHz when its actually clocked at 800MHz. Another thing is I normally scrap the default launcher or launcher pro for GO launcher and the SMS app for GO SMS.

Any way just make a nandroid and try all of them before you decided what seems to work the best for your phone. For a fact no one on this board is going to know your phone as well as you do. Experiment and log what works and doesn't that log will help you later down the line when you finally settle with what you think works best.

~PsyCl0ne
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] eXtink:
Amen!
[Motorola Milestone Android Development] javachris:
Indeed it is.

IMHO, the best combination of speed and memory(or should I say compromise) is CM6. Eclair doesn't eat up that much RAM, but it's not as snappy as Froyo/GB, Froyo is snappier than Eclair but eats more RAM, and I am sure that GB would shine on a swap enabled kernel, but that's just not the case here.
