[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedroalmat:
I have a weird problem now...

It doesn't matter which ROM I flash, my device won't get wiped.

I tried several kernels, ROMs and bootloaders.

I tried it via Recovery and via the Android settings. And I've got all these old folders and files which don't get deleted when you uninstall an app. I'd really like to have a clean phone.

It is very annoying.

So, could anyone please point me to some direction?

Thanks in Advance!

Cheers, Pedro.

I have the exact same problem as u

At last ur problem solved? I have no idea what to do now

I tried to root it but it didn't work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
if u have clockworkmod / cwm

format all partitions depends on what ver you have but will be like....

1: boot

2: system

3:cache

4: other forgot name.

it should be fixed now

u need to use odin afterthat and flash a official rom

CWM only work for rooted device, and my problem is even i try to flash a ROM

the problem exist and the device can't be root:(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
assuming you still can manage download mode.

1: flash this using odin http://goo.gl/oOxs1 [avoid boot into OS after this]

2: remove battery

3: try recovery mode

if succeded do as i already stated before. [format all partitions including system / boot]

hope this fixes your issue

[Galaxy 3 General] Sergiales:
Hi guys,

One quick question. How can i change my default app shortcut in the rom? I mean, so everytime I do a factory reset, i have those apps in my desktop.

Also, is there anyway to put my default WIFI as well in my rom? Very helpfull if you are testing roms or anything...and you have to do factory reset as well.

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy 3 General] mankokoma:
1. you can do backups of your desktop on ADW launcher or GO launcher & restore with a few clicks. find it in the launcher settings.

2. make a backup of /data/wifi/bcm_supp.conf then you have saved your wireless settings.

Hey guys,

Wat's te ideal brightness setting for the battery? Mines on about 20-30% but in battery usage it says 58% usage and the phone hardl last a day ...

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Stats in Battery usage graph and your Brightness level is completely two different things.

I always use Auto.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O and O:
I think I will try that. I also wonder if noled app is having an effect but I set the brightness on that to 1%.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hollow.Droid:
Ever since 2.3.4 I've had mine on full brightness. The battery on 2.3.4 roms has always been good for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O and O:
Is that stock or custom ROM?

Also anyone find that once the battery saver option kicks in that when it recharges that the settings don't switch back to what they were previously? A bit annoying as I don't want to have to manually change my screen timeout etc everytime.

Also what's the option for adjust screen brightness tickbox about just below the general brightness setting? Don't quite understand that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BryanNL:
You mean background effect?

- Dynamic: bright, vivid colors

- Standard: standard colors.

- Movie: contrast higher, warmer image.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O and O:
I think the option is: "Auto adjust power" int he Display settings menu. Something about analyzing images or something.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O and O:
Anyone able to expand upon this please?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Declan79:
since its upgrading to samoled+ even we set the brighness to 0 it is still bright:) but then again depending your eyes and needs of battery consumption (bc) theres also a"custom rom"way like hollow to follow or if you prefered moderate usage without flashing i think on 20-30% bright it contribute to bc
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] O and O:
My browser is set is have the brightness at 0 which is fine, I think there's a service in the background using more CPU than it needs. Likelihood it is a Glu game ~.~.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ScottyDont81:
I back up all my apps with Titanium prior to any update of CM7 nighties. My issues its after upgrading nighties I lose apps, no biggie, I backed them up with Titanium. Every time I restore the missing apps Titanium says "restore unsuccessful". Only way restoring apps works for me is if I do a full wipe every update. This is a pain! Any one else having this issue and have did you solve it, minus wiping every time?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
It sounds like you're having a bigger issue, that also leads to not being able to restore apps.

The fact that you're losing apps when upgrading nightlies in incorrect. Flashing a nightly .zip doesn't overwrite anything but the system, which leaves everything else in tact. Not sure exactly what that issue would be, but I don't think TB is the problem.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginalGabriel:
The one and only time I've tried to use TiB, it failed; I messaged the dev and reported it to the support forum (which doesn't even exist anymore) and never got a reply. Waste of money, at least for me.

Very surprising. I've been using it for almost a year now, quite frequently, with no issues.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tun4f1sh:
Just a hunch, are the apps you're restoring stored on the SD card? (a2sd)

If so, that might be the problem.

***PLEASE NOT I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR BRICKED

DEVICES OR ANY ERRORS CAUSED BY FLASHING THIS

APP***​

Do you want TW4 on your Samsung

Epic? Yes you do. Believe me. Ever since I got my first

TouchWiz-powered device, I really hated it, and found myself

using other 3rd party launchers instead. But ever since I

upgraded to a rom that came with TW4, I immediatley found my

new launcher. It was love at first site. I've worked very hard to get

TW4 for all Epic 4g owners.

To install this amazing launcher, first

make sure you are rooted/deodexed. (but who isn't nowadays??)

Next, make sure you are on Clockwork v3.1.0.1 or higher. Wipe

cache and delvic cache 3 times. Don't wipe data unless you want

all your stuff to be gone (TW4 isn't worth THAT much) install the

.zip from your SD card, reboot your epic, and enjoy.​

I never flash tw4, I take the two apks, and place them in system/app, and remove the original tw, fix permissions in cwm, reboot

Idk if this is the same as the OP, but this is the most stable version I have found. So naturally, I saved it to my dropbox lol

I have been using Froggers version for over a month. For those that said it was buggy and they would get fc or lockups I had the same thing until EG22 and EH06. Since EG22 and EH06 came out it has been perfect. Not a single issue.
[Epic 4G Themes] usagi111:
This seems pretty stable... However, i wiped the cache 3 times and flashed, nothing... So i extracted the apk, renamed it and replaced it using root explorer. Once again, the Program Monitor widget doesn't work, but it a small price to pay... Kudos!

Too lazy to find the thread myself, but if you look in Samsung Galazy I9000 themes & apps forum you will find a heavily modified touch wiz 4.5. I have been using that.

[Epic 4G Themes] Killasmoke:
Good looks I just flashed

this over eh17 its better than the old touch wiz I like how you can go from screen to screen just like the galaxy s2 Epic touch its great I seen it on the s2 video yesterday now my epic can do the same thing I was wondering if someone could take that feature& put it on a ROM or theme?
[Epic 4G Themes] || Acer ||:
TW4 always seems good at first, but then it started giving me reboots, freezes, etc. (that was on EG22, hopefully EH17 won't have the problem)

As great as it is, I don't think it's worth it until we get TW4 widgets. Now that would be awesome.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffgardner:
I was most recently running Andromeda 3 (Froyo 2.2) when I decided to upgrade to Gingerbread. I intended to go to Cognition 5 v2 (This tread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127578). Step one was to be on Gingerbread and because I was running Froyo, I followed the link (This thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1127249) to flash Gingerbread stock.

Using odin3 v1.81 and the zImage-root.tar file, I put my phone into download mode, installed rebooted and then added the kernelKF1.tar file. The Cappy rebooted and I was running a rooted stock 2.3.3. This is where the main problem lies. Step two for Cognition was to use Clockworkmod Recovery to flash the new kernel – usually extremely easy but this time I received an error (see below). I believe the error is because I was upgraded to Android System Recovery <3e>, which produced an error anytime I try flashing clockwork recovery mode or using the update.zip method.

The error is “E: failed to verify whole-file signature. E:signature verification failed. Installation aborted”.

I tried to use the “2e recovery” method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=804226) however, Odein3 v1.81 receives the error:

At this point, I’d be happy just to be able to go back to a Froyo cooked ROM but cannot.

Hello all! I installed unity on my g2 and since then I haven't seen 4g at all. Any ideas? Also, I asked this a few days back but I still can't run WiFi without mobile network shutting down. Any help on either subject would be greatly appreciated!
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
*You should read the first few posts in the unity thread. It mentions that tmo lies about 4G and your phone will only show 4G when you really are in the area.

As for the actual 4G icon, it's been replaced with the H icon. Search the unity thread for the 4g icon mod. *

scratch that. it's gone since the last time the op was taken down. but yeah, it only shows 4g when you're actually in a 4G area. The mention of that is not in the thread anymore unfortuantely...

Final Edit: here's the official statement on that: http://www.virtuousrom.com/p/faq.html (it's the 2nd to last question on the bottom)

Your mobile netwok is disabled when you have wifi. It is normal. It prevents excessive battery drain. You'll be reconnected to your network as soon as you leave the wifi zone.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmoore:
Thank you for your fast reply! I know that about the H icon, but in places i used to get it, i dont anymore. Maybe something is screwy because i just ran a speed test and it pulled 3.7 meg wit 2 bars 3g. I also understand about the wifi but for some reason i cant get calls or texts and i have to reboot to get the mobile network tgo come back on.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
the "H" icon is "4G". If you want the "4G" icon, you can put it in the ROM yourself. You'll only see "H"/"4G" in the areas where the towers have been upgraded to HSPA (which is most major places by now, actually).

When you're connected to wifi, the phone automatically disables your 3G in order to save battery. It switches to "2G only" because your WiFi data is faster.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilcuber:
check the link in my signature of virtuous unity mods for the 4g icon.zip
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mputtr:
i'm going to assume that this is the first time you installed unity on it. so yeah, what you thought you had 4g, actually was 3G. the unity rom actually denotes a difference in that and tells you that it's actually 3G not 4G.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coachmoore:
Ok man, thank you again for all of your helpful replies. However the "H" icon i used to get all over the place, now i never see it. So what youre saying is that i was never really getting 4g, it just had the H up there. What i understood was gthe H was HSPA or 4g. As i said, i live close to atlanta, so i should have it, i thought i did anyway...lol
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martonikaj:
Don't worry too much about whether or not you see the "H" icon or the "3G" icon. A lot of times the "H" hangs up there much longer than it should. I noticed on some ROMs that it will just show "H" for a long time even though you've actually moved down to UMTS connection (3G).

As long as you're getting good speeds and not noticing a difference I wouldn't stress about it too much.
