[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pepxl:
when the app is moved into the system/app folder it is then installed, no need running the .apk through a package installer because youll just get the "Application not installed" error, this is because your trying to install a system app which is what the apk is and not a standard installable app.

once moved into the system/app folder and permissions set, check your widgets if not there do a reboot then check again, if its still not there then your doing something wrong or setting the wrong permissions.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] holgalee:
If it's not installing, could it be because it's a Samsung app? For example the stock camera, phone and messaging apps just won't install when I'm on CM7. So I'm assuming the same is true for Allshare, though I may be wrong.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Deleted member 2899027:
Thanks, tried all but the widget won't appear on the list. I guess something is wrong with the .apk then.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] pepxl:
Samsung apps will only work on Samsung ROMs unless modded to work on ALL Android devices just like any other app specific to any other ROM

I took down the Dnla.zip, renamed it to Dnla.apk and moved it to my Tab 2 7.0. Then I used ES File and tried to move it to Root/System /App but it fails. I understand I need to change permissions for this. How do I accomplish this without rooting the device?

I know there's a hack that allows me to record my own phone calls, from what i've been reading on an i9000 forum its done in the form of a modified apk file.

Can anyone point me in the right direction on how I can get this set up on my S II

Isn't it part of the Batista Rom? you could extract the dialer from it.

Some people use "Call recorder" (icon: green android) and reports it works fine.
[Galaxy S II General] yusuo:
Thanks for the hint, downloading the batista rom now, Its weird, as simple as it is it never occured to me that I could mix and match contents from different roms, I think its time for me to do some experimenting now, so what I can concuct.

When I try to use my headphones the phone suddenly opens music player by itself and changes songs continiously. I go to settings and force stop the music player. After a while it opens the music player again. While I'm listening a song it starts to change songs suddenly. I tried many ROMs but its always same. What can be the problem ?

I used ARHD, Virtuous Unity, RCMix 3D....
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
Incompatible headphones. The OEM headphones has a switch that does these functions. Guessing you are using a set of non oem headphones. The oem headphones have more rings on the plug than a standard set of headphones. That much larger ring is bridging out the connection causing you issues when you first plug them in. Then slightly moving the plug may cause your issues to happen as you are listening.

I use a set with a built in mic/mic button and do not have these issues. But a set without a mic or switch will cause this. As the jack gets looser your symptoms will get worse.

I use Phillips SHS3200. I can't use OEM headphones cause they fall from my ears. I have to use headphones with hooks. What can you recommend? I was planning to buy a Sennheiser.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agoattamer:
You can pick up a mic adapter cable like this and plug your headphones into it.

Pic pulled from ebay search of "mic headphone adapter". The remote button can then be used to start and stop your music.

Here is the listing

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Headset-3-5...088713?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a13b27449

You should be able to find something like this in your local cellphone/electronics store.

I actually took my HTC oem headphones apart at the switch and soldered a better pair of headphones into it. I prefer the ones that set in the ear canal compared to the large uncomfortable ones HTC gives you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stilleh:
You didn't say if you used the default musicplayer. I know some players have settings to forcestart when headphones are plugged in. Some players also have a "shake/turn/flip/give finger-setting to change tunes. But in the end, it's probably as poster above said. Incompatible headset...

You have to get a "special" version for HD2 etc. Due Microsoft's update servers does not recognize the device as updatable.

[Vega General] foxguard:
Hey,

I'm sure there is a way to do this but I'm not sure!

I have just upgraded to vegacomb and are still learning! I have the stock 4gb SD card at the moment and want to upgrade. Do I have to start from scrafch again or can I copy every thing from one to the other..... the from and all apps etc?

Thanks
[Vega General] bennz:
First thing is to make sure you make a backup of your data in your 4GB card if it has enough space ( From the recovery bootloader ).

Then you copy all the folders on mem card into a folder on your computer. Make sure you select any hidden or file system files on the mem card and copy them too.

Depending on how you want to use your new card, you can either format it for FAT32 or mixture of fat32 and ext3 . If you are planing to move you apps to SD using link2SD, i recommend have dual format which allows copying "most" of the apps to the mem card without effecting how they work. Best way to do it is to create FAT32 first and as the first-to-read partition then create ext3. make sure both partitions are primary.

I use Easeus Partion Master ( on windows ) to format the card with dual file systems.

After you did it, you can copy back the files which you saved on your computer at first stage back to the new mem card.

Hope it helps
[Vega General] foxguard:
Hi, yeah ttah does help thank you mate. So the actual ROM (vegacomb) is stored on the tablet and not the card then... thats what I wanted to doubler check.

Thanks mate.

I'd like to dump the /system partition of a stock CDMA (Sprint) Galaxy Tab 7, mounted at /dev/block/stl9 -- but I don't have root. Thus no permission to read :(

I'm wondering if it would be possible to do an edify script in an update.zip that would:

dd if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/sdcard/image.img

Any help appreciated, thanks!

edit:

I tried the code below in an updater-script, but it failed with a signature error. So I guess this is a no go?

run_program("/system/bin/dd", "if=/dev/block/stl9 of=/data/local/image.img");

Greetings,

While I realize this thread is old. I thought I'd chime in anyway. :)

If I understand you correctly. Your problem is likely that your Zip file was not signed.

There are several apps available that will sign your zip files for you -- ZipSigner, for example.

Hope this helps you, or others.

I currently run Revolution w/ Thyparancy on top of it. I've tried installing different notification mods (battery, 4g or H, etc.) but when I do it seems as if Thyparancy is uninstalled.

I'm familiar w/ sdk and pulling files from system but after that I'm at a loss.

Any helpers?
[HTC Sensation] smoochiezz24:
You need a program like 7 zip to open (NOT extract) the contents. Drag the res folder into a new folder on your desktop. Names it something like my custom theme so that you don't get confused. Now you can navigate into drawable-hdpi and see the images. You can swap them out or just edit them in your photo program. I use gimp because I'm not a graphic deisgner. I just edit other graphics. Once you are finished just drag the whole drawable-hdpi folder back into your 7 zip window. It will ask you to confirm. Confirm it and then you are done.

That would be really cool of you. Would be willing to throw a few bucks your way if you could get it to work..

Now maybe someone can answer this questions..

I took the original file from the thread referenced in the OP..

In an attempt to port this myself...I changed desc.txt to match the dimensions of the atrix screen. (540x960)

Copied it over to /system/media.. and rebooted.. Nothing happened. Just a black screen..

Do I need to re-size all the images in the zip to be 540x960 as well?? excuse my ignorance as graphic and animation aren't really my cup of tea..
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
How did you zip it?

Looking at the file on my phone desc.txt looks fine.

Assimilated via WinBorg 4G
[Atrix 4G General] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Zipped with winrar..

Do I need to resize all the images in the zip???
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
Download and install 7-Zip

Highlight your part folders and desc.txt file

Right click > 7_Zip > Add to archive

Archive format should be zip

Compression level should be store

Name bootanimation

Click OK

[Atrix 4G General] Bender B. Rodgriguez:
Very nice. That worked 100%. So I am guessing that compressing them with winRAR was screwing it up.
[Atrix 4G General] CaelanT:
I also changed the size in desc.txt to keep the correct ratio from the original.

<edit> Yes, it's the type of compression.

[Motorola Photon 4G] libracolo:
I am using the dock (which you probably don't want to get) without issue. So I only offer this as a workaround. You could go to the Sprint store (corporate) and buy a dock (you can have it billed to your account so nothing up front) for now. You have up to 30 days to return it (without a restock fee), so this might tide you over until a fix is released. Just a suggestion.
[Motorola Photon 4G] darktranquility18:
You cant plug in right away cuz it only works when a dock is plugged in.

Thinking of getting a warranty on my phone, They told me it would cost me 20 dollars, and that I wouldnt be getting a "New" one it would be "Refurbished", I'm alittle outraged by that.. considering I signed on for another 2 years and bought the phone for $265.00.. My power button is sticking and I can't stand it.. is their anything I can do to fix this? The phone works just fine.. Minus the power button..
[HTC Sensation] Lakeshow423:
If its the power button, call HTC and get a new back cover. Tell them about the power button problem and they will send you a back cover free. You can get a 1 time replacement part on every part of our phone from them.
[HTC Sensation] KeeperOfThePizza:
I will do that, Are you sure that will fix the issue at hand though?

It's worth a try. And if it doesn't solve the problem, you will have a spare (if they don't request your cc number/send your old cover back)

i got to that part. she agreed with sending me the backcover first. but i had to provide a $1 on credit or debit. which i dont have one. i thought they would just send it for free without me giving them anything? and the number u posted in washington is closed. ha. their open mon.-friday only.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GMoneyDTP:
Hi im thinking of doing a overclock to 1.5 ghz is it safe for the processor and the battery life witch already sucks. has anyone on here whos done it using setcpu and the rom had any problems after doing so ? and how much faster is 1.5 ghz compared to 1.2 ghz on the galaxy s2 ? and is it safe in general for the hardware of the phone will the phone get hotter or have over heating problems ? also what should my settings be for minimum maximum and the voltages ?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCinspiration:
Of course oc is going to make ur battery life a lot worse.

I haven' used Setcpu in a while but I believe it's got a feature to stress test the settings to see if it can handle it. Generally the worst that happens is it'll crash. So long as it doesn't get hot. Heat=death for electronics :')
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sparksltd:
I'm using tegrak (from market) to overclock to 1.4. I found 1.5 was too unstable. Noticeable difference between 1.2 & 1.4 is almost none. Also voltage increase of 50mv was needed to gain stability. There is not much point of overclocking the device IMO unless like me u just get some satisfaction out of knowing its running faster!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HTCinspiration:
This is true. I see no difference between 1.2 & 1.5ghz. But that doesn't keep me from running it at 1.5 when I'm playing a game anyway :'D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ithehappy:
Well it's not safe, that I can say. Nothing is safe when you don't know what other things are changing with the clock rate. But still you could do that. You just have to make sure that the temperature is within limit, it will be definitely high, but make sure it's not that high.

And upping the clock rate to 1.5 GHz won't drain any extra battery than 1.2 GHz.

Regards.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandoHD:
I tried the overclocking and each phone is different, increase then test, there are many benchmarking apps out there, I was stable at 1.4, my kernel does not include 1.5 GHz, and irregardless of what people may say, running the phone at higher clock speeds consistently DOES drain the battery more than 1.2GHz, unless you have found a way to manipulate the laws of physics. I don't see how one can fathom the thought that you can get a faster CPU at absolutely no cost.

Many people think when the CPU running faster means you complete tasks faster, hence 1.5 would complete a task faster than 1.2 and hence save battery, but I believe we use this phone as more than a calculator, so when you are performing a task that causes the CPU to run at 1.5 for a period of time e.g playing a game, browsing or whatever you do with your phone, then the CPU has to draw more power to keep the frequency at 1.5 as compared to the CPU running at 1.2

All in all, I dialed back because I was doing fine without it and I did not need it, other people may need it, and I wasn't gaining anything. to answer your question directly, it all depends on what you do with your phone, I'm not a huge gamer or anything and the 1.2GHz has proven to be more than enough for me to have a very pleasant experience using this device
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Using it occasionally is safe, unless you stress your mobile at 1.5+ ghz for more than an hour or so.

The cpu governor will only make use of higher frequencies when there is a need, so mostly you will see your mobile idling at 200 mhz.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tshoulihane:
Not necessarily a lot worse. It depends on how you are using your phone, and what is causing it to run fast. If overclocking allows the phone to spend longer in deep sleep state, your battery will win. If its games, and by OC you achieve a higher frame rate, then the phone is doing more work, and this will be reflected in the battery life going down.

Most of the time, screen on is going to dominate. If you are a low screen-on user, I guess there is more chance for a higher max_cpu to be beneficial (it won't be used unless there is a task that requires it). More accurately, it helps some of the time, so the net result is not always obvious to predict.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayquinten510:
How about undervolting?

Any danger in doing so- other than crashing when voltage is too low?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
Before over clocking it might be worth downloading cpuspy from the market and seeing what time you spend in each speed.

Chances are most of the time you won't even hit 1.2 so might not have anything to gain by over clocking.

Then again I dont know how you use your device but I do know I was surprised when I found out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ViperAMD:
I've played with the SuperSonic version of this phone (which has a 1.5Ghz core) and the results from photos/video are much better, I'm pretty sure the cameras are exactly the same but the SuperSonic benefits from the higher CPU.

I think it would be cool if somebody could write an app that states

IF user opens Camera application voltage + clock speed is increased to allow stable 1.5GHz speed

WHEN user closes camera application overclock turns off.

Thoughts?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nio_insane:
You have a smartphone! Not a pc!

I didnt see any advantage if you oc to 1.5

Btw In normal use your phone keep in 200mhz not 1.2.
