[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZenDragon80:
Im just a little confused here, I have a rooted t-mobile G2x. With the Weapon G2x rom that I picked up from the dev forum. From what I can tell its just a stock 2.3.3 rom with some customization's. Anyhow the issue I am having is that Google Talk video chat refuses to use the front facing camera, it seems to work fine otherwise just cant find any way to force it to use the front camera. Anybody have any ideas on this one?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] androidicus:
It's right on the OP for that rom

8/23/2011

~ Fixed 15% shutoff bug! (Cleaned up battery code in SystemUI)

~ New bootanimation courtesy of Rascarlo!!!

~ Gtalk with video chat - USES BACK CAM ONLY RIGHT NOW

~ Optimus 2x lockscreen CLEARLY marked as [beta]. If you have issues don't use it.

~ Completely zipaligned

~ Removed shutdown sound

~ Tweaked a few images to better match theme

~ Removed a little more bloat

~ Few build.prop edits

Flash the froyo cam if you want working ffc.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZenDragon80:
Doh sorry I totally read that and it did not even register! O_o

I'm kinda new to the community in case you didn't notice, so its obligatory that I make a fool out of myself with my first post haha! In any case, thanks for pointing that out :-P And thanks for the suggestion!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] androidicus:
No worries. I'm totally new too. Thanks to the devs this phone is on another level now.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ZenDragon80:
I had CM7.1 on here for a bit, bit it was kinda flaky. Music skipping for no obvious reason, locally or streaming. Random crashes and weird bugs. So I flashed Weapon G2x which seems to have resolved most of those issues, but I miss all the configuration options! I think the dev's are doing a great job and I cant wait to see what this thing will do with a stable and fully featured ROM!

My only real complaint with this phone is the lack of a notification LED. I rooted to CM7 pretty much just for the blinking buttons in place of an notification light. But it appears I no longer have that option after flashing this rom. Do you know if there are any standalone "patches" for that?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rvictorg:
There's a free app in the market called "LG 2X/Black/3D Notifications" and it will allow you to set the buttons to blink like you want in addition to customizing their brightness. Great app, one of the first things I installed on this phone--I miss the multi-coloured LED light on my old X10.
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
Was getting excited at the possibility of there being an early roll out for North America as well, has anyone had an OTA 3.2 update?
[Acer Iconia A500] TFordham:
I have no patience so I loaded the stock 3.2 ROM, and I'm blown away. Fast! So far, I love it.
[Acer Iconia A500] Cjg93:
Nothin on the westcoast yet.

Im gettin impatient though, I hope it gets pushed out exactly at midnight lol.
[Acer Iconia A500] matt92617@yahoo.com:
yup, i already got it in L.A. California.
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
So I assume California got it OTA? If that's the case then the rest of the west cnt be far behind!
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
Live literally 10 minutes east of California and nothing yet
[Acer Iconia A500] blcklab:
no ota to 3.2 in ca
[Acer Iconia A500] matt92617@yahoo.com:
funny cause I just downloaded an update 2 days ago.
[Acer Iconia A500] HD87:
Funny.. I'm wondering if you know the difference between 3.2 & 4.010.13?
[Acer Iconia A500] godashram:
That wasn't 3.2...
[Acer Iconia A500] lowsum:
Nothing here, eastern Canada. Just to make sure I can upgrade, I'm currently rooted with stock 3.1 and Richardstrip kernel. If I replace clockwork recovery with the Acer one, will I be OK?
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
i have seen no sign of it yet on the west coast...

Weird, just got an update notification for Acer recovery installer on the market. It must be related with the update coming.

Sorry, double post, edit turn wrong

Is gonna take a couple of weeks to reach US, the 25 date was for Malaysia only. :)
[Acer Iconia A500] Mystikalrush:
This is exactly what iv been saying for a while, wish acer america would say something to us atleast, on top of some 3.2 news.
[Acer Iconia A500] nfizree:
FYI there's still no update yet here in Malaysia. plus its already 11 pm here =/
[Acer Iconia A500] Quicksand Jesus:
No update here. Prolly not gonna happen today.
[Acer Iconia A500] 4dthinker:
Anyone following Acer's Facebook account? Seems as if they might mention if he update is rolling out or delayed. Be nice to know.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
Can't you follow it yourself?

Here I'll help you.

It says:

dear fans, we understand that you are anxious to update your Acer Iconia Tab A500 to the latest 3.2 version. as mentioned earlier, the update will be rolled out on the 25th August 2011 but we are not sure of the roll-out time so it will be anytime of the day ~ pls be patient ~ cheers ! :)
[Acer Iconia A500] ctiger:
But although we here in US just started the day time, many places over the world already have the day mostly passed. What's "the day" mean? I'm just impatient. This date is already way later than many other popular brands.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
I guess since the message is in English and we have no Facebook USA that the message is for us.

So the day is only 1/2 over.
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
Damn, this is not looking good for Acer to keep the August 25th deadline alive, ya know, do they realize we've been watching this date for weeks?

If you set a date, meet it, all Android providers have been horrible at meeting deadlines! Motorola is the worst, let's hope Acer doesn't slip down this path as well.

Please hurry it up Acer!
[Acer Iconia A500] NoHousePhone:
They have 3 hours and 19 minutes eastern time. Let's not jump to conclusions.. lol

Maybe they printed the wrong year.
[Acer Iconia A500] jack_b_uta:
OTA 3.2 upgrade

If I wait for the official update, will it keep my existing data or will it wipe the slate clean
[Acer Iconia A500] NoHousePhone:
You should be able to keep your data. I keep mine when I update my phone ota.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
What's annoying is that some other countries already have the update.

So it must be ready.

It should have been ready before they announced a date.

If it wasn't ready then it was a dumb thing to give a date, have everyone expect it and then not have it for us.

Oh it's time for a strong drink.
[Acer Iconia A500] NoHousePhone:
They still have 1 hour and 14 minutes left in the east coast.
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
East coast where?

I live on the East coast of US and we still have 1 1/2 hour left.
[Acer Iconia A500] KennyNair:
hmm. which country already has update? seems like no one has gotten the update yet.
[Acer Iconia A500] KennyNair:
and btw, it's already 26th here in my and sg.
[Acer Iconia A500] autom8r:
I agree, was it ever confirmed that anyone got 3.2?
[Acer Iconia A500] frankws:
I read on a forum that some places in Europe already had the update.

I read that weeks ago when the date of the 25th was given on facebook Acer Malaysia.

If I find it I'll post it.

I guess my bad, it was stated that other tablets had already gotten the update.

Evidently the Acer 3.2 is not stable.

This was the post from earlier in the month on Facebook Acer Malaysia.

They make it sound like they had it ready and it was Google's fault it was not released earlier.

"Dear Fans, due to some policy changes from Google where Acer has to comply, the A500 Honeycomb 3.2 OTA update will be postponed to 25th August, we apologize for the dissapointments and upsets but we will be bringing the final and stable update to all of our A500 fans asap! Please be patient guys"
[Acer Iconia A500] Cjg93:
Still nothing on the westcoast.

Here is a website that claims it was released in Poland 2 days ago.

I cant post links so just google this and it's the first one.

(Acer Iconia Tab A500 and A501 Android 3.2 update now rolling out (at least in Poland))
[Acer Iconia A500] jack_b_uta:

Just posted 2 minutes ago on Facebook Acer Malaysia,

Dear fans, we sincerely apologize for the delayed release of the 3.2 update for Acer Iconia Tab A500. We've just received news today that there have been some issues with the GPS settings therefore the 3.2 update will be rescheduled to 10th of September.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roflhorse:
Hey all, I've got the new OTA running and I was thinking about my camera quality again. I asked this a while back, but are there any camera apps that improve the quality of a photo? Or is it possible to get the 3.0 camera working on my phone? I've noticed the quality of my mom's thunderbolt's camera to be much better than the dinc, is the hardware actually better, or is it software that is doing the magic?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zalatorisaurus:
There are apps in the market that will supposedly make your pictures look better, but they really just reset filters like brightness. I believe the Thunderbolt may just have better hardware because it's newer. I don't think you can get the 3.0 camera on the OTA either because the 3.0 camera relies upon the newer Sense framework. HTC moved around a lot of stuff between 1.0 and 3.0.
[Acer Iconia A500] hhairplane:
I purchased an HP Touchpad keyboard for HP Touchpad, but was wondering if anyone had any success making this work for the Acer A500 as well?

The Acer does not seem to be able to find this keyboard, whereas Windows can find it perfectly well.

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coolty:
Wow,

Thank you very much. The screen brightness issues and problems connecting to the mobile 3G network were very troublesome.

I will be flashing this ROM back to my s5660m.

THANK YOU!

STATUS UPDATE:

I have successfully flashed the image to my phone, i had to rename factory.rfs to system.rfs in order for ODIN to flash successfully. Also, it may not be important but I noticed that your image is missing the csc.rfs file.

I copied it from another ROM but it still didn't take it.

Even with the CSC.RFS file missing, it SEEMS to work GREAT! No more screen issues or 3G problems so far, I will keep you updated!

Again, thank you for uploading this, Hopefully soon there will be a CM7 for the s5660m!
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Cool! Please, pretty please let me know as soon as possible how it turns out. When do you plan on trying this? This afternoon or later tonight?

Depending on how much you feel at ease with experimenting, you might be able to make a modified OPS file and new tar archive to flash only AMSS and boot.img to your system. Boot in recovery to wipe cache and dalvik-cache, then reboot the phone in normal mode. *If* things go according to plan you'd be left with a custom ROM'ed and functional phone. Otherwise just flash the whole thing back to stock.

Good luck,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Great! You just made my day!

About the missing CSC file: CSC is an acronym for Carrier/Country Specific Code. The csc.rfs file is a partition image file that, as far as I can tell, is merged with the contents of the system.rfs partition. In our case, the CSC file would contain the APN settings, as well as the Bell proprietary apps like self-serve and remote PVR.

Instead, since I took the system partition from a live phone, the CSC content is already in the system.rfs partition. I think the idea behind this is that Samsung can release new CSC packages without having to update the whole firmware when "new" carriers add the phone to their lineup.

I'll see if I can edit the RFS partitions, (maybe by mounting them on the phone directly?) if so, I would be able to unroot, and make that separate CSC partition as well. That would make the backup completely stock, as if it came right from Samsung.

Another, simpler solution would be to modify the OPS file to skip the CSC partition.

One question: did you re-tar each file individually for ODIN to take them?

CM7 port: I'd love to have one on that phone as well, but I'm not in a position to tackle that project, yet. The good news is that since we now have a way to bring the phone back to stock, we can experiment safely.

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coolty:
I will try this as well, will let you know the status of that as soon as I get to that. I am pretty confident with flashing phones by now :D

No, I use linux so it was an easy process of copying the factory.rfs to my HDD, renaming it to system.rfs, deleting factory.rfs from TAR, and then adding system.rfs to the TAR file.

Let me know if you want me to try anything else, as I have access to linux and am pretty knowledgeable when it comes to things of that nature.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coolty:
I can confirm that replacing amss and boot.img for 5660m from custom firmware meant for the 5660 works perfectly. I am using this tar: GioPro-1_2-LITE-by_ZimniY-S5660XXKQ6_S5660XXKQ5_S5660SEBKQ1.tar AND the GioPro 1.3 update zip. No screen issues or 3G problems. If you like I can upload the edited ROM for ODIN.

Thanks a lot.

Hello Coolty,

Yes, that's exactly what happened. I tried to unlock it using Andorid Terminal Emulator, and although it gave me the unlock code, it fell into infinite loop upon restart.

Will your uploaded file fix this problem?

What would possibly provide a detailed guide on how to use the file?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coolty:
Hi,

I'm not one for explaining things in great detail, but the basic breakdown of the things you need (google is your friend) are:

1) Odin_Multi_Downloader_v4.42

2) The USB drivers for your phone (Hint: Samsung Kies)

3) OPS File (for this phone, I recommend GIO_v1.0.OPS)

4) Either a single TAR file or multiple files (eg, appboot, PDA, etc) For the file I am uploading it will be a single TAR file which is a package that includes all the things needed.

Then, you just remove the battery in your phone, unplug it from USB or wall charger, put battery back in, hold vol down + HOME + power until you see a screen (you may have to press a vol key after that, read the screen to see if you need to) Your screen on the phone should say DOWNLOADING... This is when you:

1) connect phone to computer via USB after installing drivers (kies, usb driver)

2) make sure kies is closed

3) run ODIN

4) choose the proper OPS file

5) click single package

6) choose the TAR file you want to flash to your phone

That's it!

EDIT:

I am providing some forum links that may better explain how to do what you need done:

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] MacrossFX:
Will this help at at all with a blank IMEI? I assume this would only help for people flashing back to stock firmware or recovering from a non-bootable or reboot loop phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] netsurge:
I'm also running into the same issue
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] waqasshahzad1986:
Thats why i recommend you guys always do a factory reset before and after flashing , these glitches , like gps issue , wifi , stuck on boot logo , won't happen if you properly fectory reset before and after flashing....
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Waqasshazad: Maybe wiping the caches will help, but the issues might be due to running a 5660 on a 5660M as well. We know the kernels and modems aren't compatible, it may go a bit further. By the way, it's spelled f

a

ctory.

MacrossFX: I've seen mentions of people dd'ing their stl5 partition into a file and then back on the phone, but I'm unsure this worked in the end. I'm afraid your only solution might involve a shipment to the service center...

It WILL happen if you properly do a FACTORY reset before and after flashing. I have tried it many a time.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coolty:
Guys,

Don't bother with a factory reset for this ROM. It seems like there are deeper issues that need to be worked out first.

I have a working ROM that is rooted (taken from DarkShado and fixed to flash properly.)

I can upload this if you like.

But it's stock ROM with TouchWiz. You can always install ADW though.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] netsurge:
Please do.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
Hey Coolty,

Yesterday I managed to make and successfully flash an unrooted system.rfs and working CSC.rfs. My problem is that I can't get root on it again and have held back uploading because of that.

Re-flashing the root update.zip doesn't work, I can run SuperUser.apk, but trying to run su in the shell gets me a "Permission denied" error and no elevation prompt. I've searched a bit, and most similar cases were solved by flashing back to something else... Any ideas?

What I think I'll do is make a stock, rooted ROM with the CSC file I've built, and go from there. It'll be easier to unroot afterwards for those that need to.

Next step: customization...
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coolty:
lol, you accidentally patched root exploits.

But yeah, you should be able to make a CSC with a working su that would be flashed when the rom is flashed, right?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] lypang:
Can I use this to backup a stock rom from 1 phone to another?
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] lypang:
Yes, please upload, thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
From what I've seen, the CSC.rfs contains two things: a small binary file, and a zip file with the actual CSC content.

Flashing that CSC image makes the phone boot in recovery to apply that zip file as well as the CSC code itself to the phone's memory.

So I doubt that's our problem here... I think its more related to the fact that the RFS partition format is proprietary and the program I'm using to modify them (MagicISO) might not support them completely.

Another clue to this is that deleted files do not reduce the image file size. I got a different image size by overwriting a given file as opposed to deleting it first and then adding the new version with the exact same name.

I'll have to experiment mounting a system RFS partition directly on the phone and modifying it natively. I've read this can be done with partial compatibility on some Linux distros, but I'm not dual booting at this time, and won't for the foreseeable future.

Goodbye,

Darkshado
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Coolty:
To those wanting me to upload the working ROM:

I have decided that I will not upload it, simply due to the fact that it is already uploaded in DarkShado's first post. All you have to do is rename factory.rfs to system.rfs. It works perfectly.

Yes, you can edit these partitions using linux. just mount the file to a drive, eg mount -o loop somefile.rfs /media/somefile

I did it a little while ago to see what was in the csc.rfs file and you're right, it's just a ZIP file and a command that gets run to apply the zip file patch. so essentially it would be no different than running an update from within recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] Darkshado:
It gets better... It seems something I've done, possibly the modification of the images in MagicISO might have borked symlinks or something, as even a simple command such as "ls" when used in adb shell yields an error message like so:

C:\>adb shell

$ su

su

Permission denied

$ ls /bin/

ls /bin/

Öåº▀dtoolbox├ºé↨═è▒â: error 22

I recall seeing some updater scripts having to do with these... I'll see if I can solve the problem that way.

Otherwise I'll reflash my unaltered stl12 dump as-is and redo my unrooted stock ROM differently.
