[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
You don't need CF-Kernel to root the phone now.

All you need is to just flash any rooted kernel.

I recommend using speedmod kernel by hardcore. Most people who flash to CF-Kernel are going to switch to something else anyways, so you might as well skip that extra step and go to the kernel that you would recommend best.

The easiest is to just download your favorite kernel, then flash it by using odin. DO NOT REPARTITION THE PHONE.

Yes, I get the yelow triangle. There is a way to get rid of it: flash the original kernel back. You will not loose root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dedalmapeti:
CF root

As I understand I should use the CF root way and flash the folowing CF-Root-SGS2_XW_XEU_KE7-v4.0-CWM4. I still have some questions:

1. Will I still get updates via Kies?

2. Will my phone be wiped after flashing this - I understand NO - right?

3. To remove the yellow triangle I should reflash the original kernel (XWKF3 Stock Kernel: http://www.multiupload.com/27Q9LQEB94) from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 ?

Sorry for so many questions but as in my job I have to check twice before doing it.

Tx.

Sorry for the ignorant question but what is the difference between speedmod kernel and cf-kernel?

If i understand this on simple terms CF-KERNEL is kept to a basic minimum?

where can we get the speedmod kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiFE1688:
[KERNEL] SpeedMod SGS2 [K1-T27 CWM4 CIFS ROOT]

Yes, CF-Kernel is pretty much the same as stock except that it has the stuff required for root, and addition of Clockwork Recovery and Clockwork Recovery Application.

Other kernels have tweaks such as overclocking, undervolting, and extras.

I don't recommend kernels that have overclocking or undervolting, but that's just my own preference.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrandLX:
I appreciate these features as I am in ninphetamine. With undervolting you're able to save battery. But as you said...these are personal preferences.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve113:
thank you so much for the info. Im particularly concerned with battery life hence choosing to root in the first place.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowfuse:
i just got this captivate and it's a new build 1108(07.12.2011)i guess.

i have been reading for hours and hours on several forums

, about how to root and update my phone from 2.2 to 2.3 and use the xda lagfix. my moto droid 1 is rooted and running ss/cm's latest 2.3.4 and it smokes the pants off of this samsung. i am finding several step by steps for 2.1 to 2.2 and so on, but nothing for 2.2 to 2.3 that actually works for me. wondering if my phone is too new. i dont nesc need to root, but really want 2.3 and or xda lagfix. or do i need to root??? can someone please help me? i would give you my moto droid 1 hacked and smokin fast for a succesful updating of this slow as can be captivate. i'll even pay for shipping etc. LOL!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welchertc:
Find the odin one click thread, do that, you'll be back to 2.1, then find a thread explaining how to root, then follow the directions on how to flash gb. Pretty easy if you look around a bit and read up. If my phone wasn't about to die I would find the right links for you, but it shouldn't be too hard, there are plenty of guides on here
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Boldizzle:

Will these same instructions work for a rooted 2.2 Captivate? Is there any (easy) way to save my app settings? (I've spent a lot of time getting 3 stars on all the angry bird levels!)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welchertc:
I have been off the captivate for a while now, so there are much easier ways to get to gingerbread than when I was still on it. However, if you backup your apps with titanium backup, you should be able to do the following: once you install your new rom, run the "restore missing apps" function, and it should keep your progress in games without messing up your rom. The problems people run into us when they run the "restore all apps" process, which restores system apps and screws things up. If you only restore missing apps, you'll be fine

The edit is because I'm drunk right now. If you backup your apps on your current rooted setup with titanium backup, you should be able to just restore missing apps with titanium backup once you flash the new rom without any troubles and have your saved game data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shammyh:
Read, read, read. And read some more.

You will need to upgrade your bootloaders, and upgrade your ROM/Radio/Kernel.

This all carries with it a fair bit of risk. I would suggest you understand how to recover from a "soft brick" before attempting to re-flash or upgrade anything.

Also: This is in the wrong section, and if I'm honest, this isn't much of a first post if you're new to XDA.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowfuse:
THANX everyone. esp. *toy028*

read till my eyes bled... and

1-superoneclick to root

2-odin 1.7 to flash latest speedmod kernel

3-after headaches got cm7 rom to flash and now i'm stuck with it as it puts it's own kernel(clockworkmod4+) on the phone and it will not let me flash anymore update.zips

dont understand the edify request it gives. cant find an edify option in the rom. afraid to reroot,reflash speedmod and try again because it(the new kernel) doesnt seem to be compatible or want to let me upgrade LOL. so i am trying to get cm7 to please me.

wish there was a simplystunning rom. tried andromeda3 and it wouldnt flash for me. cm7 is very lacking. got gapps but it's still VERY lacking. quadrant got slower on video but faster on cpu??? wierd. neocore got slower too. only went from 55.7 to 52.3 but still. only one keyboard on cm7. no super customization like i"m used to with ss. i really miss forcing my browser to pc mode for streaming southpark etc. debug option doesnt have a desktop selection :( bummed but gonna try and deal with it.

thanx again
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
Andromeda3 wouldn't flash because of the version of cwm you are on. Andromeda3 is 2.2 and requires an older version of cwm

When you figure it all out, use Apex rom. It's up to date and works great for someone who is green. :D

I'll second the call for Apex. I've tried several of the available Gingerbread ROMs, but always ended up going back to Apex. Installed the recent 9.2 update and won't be looking back.

Guys/Gals! be careful when recommending JF6 Odin1 Click, he stated his release number on his phone being 1108, and if I'm not mistaken, he will brick his device based on that build number. OP do a search for Odin 1 click and make sure you can use the JF6 version
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yellowfuse:
thanx for the warning. i was actually aware of such a conundrum being possible and thought i would try it anyways. there seems to be a lot of mis-information or better yet only partial instruction from those who assume eveyone knows all of the things to do before the instructions they DO give. at any rate, one click worked for root. everything is groovy BUT i still cant use any other rom but MIUI's latest. which is sooooo lacking it makes me sick and i go back to cm7 everytime. oh well. at least i can get 2370 on quadrant with cm7 and 57.7 on neocore instead of 1300 and 23.5 respectively. my moto droid one does 1700 and 23.7 so i figured the captivate would smoke it. now it finally does. it matters to me when using google earth and maps etc. those apps suck up the cpu/gpu ram and anything else they can. so i guess i'm happy with cm7.

Hi there!

just a short question.

I'm using the last version CM7

The Bootscreen shows:

White LG logo

Red/White LG logo

CM7 Bootscreen

My question is, is it possible to remove or replace the Red/White logo? I saw this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1192585 and there is no Red/white logo.

How does it work?

Thanks!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:

You should be able to use absolute system to change bootup animations. Check the market.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] bigsupersquid:
the red/white lg logo is initlogo.rle in the boot.img ramdisk.

you have to split the boot.img, replace the .rle, repack the boot.img and reflash it to the phone.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pheel:
its your battery for sure . my old x10 battery was 2008-09 manufacture and recently did that. Get a new battery, or you can wait about 5(?) days after you take out the battery and put it back in and it'll charge. i dont know why, dont ask me, but thats just from personal experience. :D
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runaway_bunny:
Before getting a new battery, try to wipe your battery stats in Xrecovery. I believe this should fix your problem. Or else a more effective way should be re-flashing the rom again (use flashtool for that). All the best ;)

[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] samstables:
I thought it was a bit strange that I hadn't had many updates in the app market for a few weeks now but figured it's holiday season so maybe that's why.

I saw people on G+ talking about the new market app - no sign of it for me...

Then I saw people talking about the new G+ update today - no sign of it for me...

So I went to check on the app market for the update, but apparently it thought I didn't even have G+ installed, even though I use it every day...

I thought I might as well delete whatever version of G+ the Streak thinks I have and lo and behold, new version of the market, 20 apps waiting to be updated!!!

Not liking the new marketplace in landscape though :(
[Streak 5 Themes and Apps] Revin:
Same happened to me, some of the apps didn`t show between updates, but when I tried to search them then they have button `update` instead of `install`.

But now I found lot of apps are now not compatible with Streak. When I unroot it, it is ok. But I want my device to be rooted :-(
[Acer Iconia A500] Radio4ctive:
I just got my Iconia today. After much anticipation, I booted it up, connected to wifi, and proceeded with the OTA update. After a while the screen went berserk. The screen filled with vertical lines of different colors, changing every couple seconds. I sort of freaked out and powered it down by holding the power button. Now, it does power up, but there is absolutely no display at all. The power button lights up, though. I'm pretty lost. Google has nothing on this.

I think it's probably a defective LCD screen. What do you guys think?

Hi, just got a Nexus S 4G and need to do something for LED notification. I wanted to know, based on others experience, which has a greater impact on battery life Noled or BLN?

I'm using miui4g2x 1.8.19 by jumaaneface

Seems to be a big step in the right direction over the very first MIUI ported ROM I tried.

WiFi Calling would make it perfect. Battery seems to be good.

I'm downloading 1.8.26 by Whitehawx now:

http://rootzwiki.com/showthread.php?t=1858&page=45

I'll compare the two and figure out which one I like better. I really enjoy the blue default theme by jumaaneface. I don't think anything has been changed or updated other then using the latest 1.8.26 build (no G2x tweaks).

Update:

I don't really see any framework differences. I don't like the Boot Animation of Whitehawx. The one from jumaaneface had a sweet MIUI boot animation. Whitehawx 1.8.26 has the WiFi Calling app but it isn't seeing my SIM Card (which is the problem they've been having)... so no extra benefit there.

Music isn't FCing on the newer build which is a plus. There is also a DND (Do Not Disturb) app which wasn't in the older rom.

I could be wrong but battery seems to be chewing through the new build. From 8am-2pm I was at 60%. I flashed the new rom and booted up at ~55% and within 2 hours I'm down to 40%.

I did flash 1.8.26 over 1.8.19 so I'm not sure of any apps I carried over, only the new apps and features.

Running stock MIUI with stock kernel and Go Launcher.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] touge_ninja:
Battery is awesome i can last a full work day without having to plug in.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] knickfan5745:
After using it for a few days, I'm pretty disappointed.

1. There's no "all apps" button.

2. No 2g/3g toggle built into toggles.

3. Can't even use PowerControl because you can't change its parameters.

4. Battery life seems worse than Cynogen.

5. When typing in URL, it will randomly close the keyboard.

6. Can't add custom shortcuts.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
For starters use Go Launcher. They pair nicely. Else put a folder on the launcher bar and drop all apps in there.

Also use 8.19 because the latest one 8.26 killed my battery.

Why use powercontrol when you have every toggle in the pull down?

8.19 comes with swipe but the stock GB keyboard has a wonky dictionary. The fix is to just download the GB KB from the market and switch to it. It may also solve the hiding keyboard cause I haven't a problem with the market version.

The only downside I've found is that Maps doesn't appear to be intregreted very well with the stock browser. Usually I'll get a pop-up asking to open the link with the actual Google Map app which is easier to use on a mobile.
