[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix1589:
Hi all,

I rooted my SGS2 (KE7) with CF-Root ages ago and haven't done much since then, aside from take regular backups.

Looking at the Cyanogenmod stuff, I fancy giving it a go. All the guides talk about using the kernel at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118693 .

Does anyone know if I can flash the cyanogenmod ROM using the recovery mode I have with CF-Root, or if I need to get use the kernel from the above patch first?

This morning I tried installing the kernel (from the CF-Root CWM), when my phone rebooted, the touchscreen worked on the unlock page but not once I unlocked (I use LauncherPro as my launcher). Rebooting into recovery mode didn't work (the phone just booted normally) so I reflashed CF-Root but still had the same problem however I could boot into recovery mode and restore this morning's backup.

Now, the phone boots (with the warning triangle, expected) but there is no response after I unlock for a minute or so. Setting the stock launcher back works but I'm confused about why this should happen and what I should do next.

Does anyone know why my non-stock launcher is now being non-responsive for the first minute after boot / what I can do to get it back?

Am I able to install cyanogen with CF-root, or do I need to use the kernel in the above link? and if so, do I need to do anything other than just flash and if not why didn't the phone boot into recovery when I tried it earlier?

Any suggestions gratefully received!

-Jeff

The cf-root kernel is all you need to install cm7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Electroz:
This is correct. However, after you install the cm7 .zip the first time, it will have only installed the kernel for cyanogen mod. So you will then need to boot back into recovery with 3 button mode and run the zip install again from there. You will then have CM7.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phoenix1589:
Don't quite understand this. I've got the cm_galaxys2_full-39.zip (100MB), I was going to put this on the SD card, boot into recovery mode and install from there. Are you saying I need to do this same process twice? (and if so, why does it only install the kernel the first time when it is the complete zip file?)

Cheers,

CF-root => Cyanogen mod

Hello everybody,

There are a few threads that discuss this question, but they all draw a different conclusion.

This one for instance : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1367933 (or if the link is broken, search for : How can i use cf-root kernel for cm7?).

In the thread above they claim that CF-root is not compatible with CM7, however in this very thread there is said that when installing the .zip file twice, it should work just fine. As i'd like to install CM7 on my CF-rooted S2, i have to know for sure:

Is there a way to install CM7 on a CF-rooted device?

Many thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Rom manager doesnt work with cf root, so to flash cm7 download the zip, boot into recovery, and flash the zip twice, and it will work.

Make sure you wipe data and cache, and take backups before you do.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sollarking:
Ok, i'll give it a go :).

Thanks for the quick response, it is much appreciated!

I have a rooted HTC Wildfire 2.2 with a new 8GB microSD Class 4. I'd like to correctly partition my SDCard so that I can install all applications on SDCard and not Phone Memory.

1- What I need is to help me setting up perfect sizes for SWAP & Ext3 (Perfect matches HTC Wildfire and 8 GB Card).

2- Can I install the stock 2.2.1 ROM over the SDCard?

3- Will all Apps got installed on SDCard after partitioning instead of Phone Memory leaving it empty?

Thank you :D
[Wildfire General] yeyoo:
nice post i would like to know too!
[Wildfire General] showlyshah:
Try rommanager, chose partition your sd,(instal old clockwork mod like 2.xx, becoz new ones make ext4, which is not compatable with some roms,)choose the greatest avilable size for ext and swap(it may be enough, if u r not app greedy, i had done so, so far i have 50+app installed), reboot-partition-done, the best trouble free way!
[Wildfire General] ahmedmelm:
Thanks for your reply but I don't want to end up my device because some people reported issues with partitioning part of internal phone memory due to some ROM Manager Partition Manager errors. I'll use a PC client to partition the card.
[Wildfire General] Scratch0805:
Rom manager works fine. I've done it a few times. The people having problems probably shouldn't have bought an android phone...... besides if something goes wrong odds are it won't just redo the partition again.

And make sure you backup your SD card before partitioning it.
[Wildfire General] bx19:
Use recovery (= rom manager) to partition first. If that gives any issues then use "gparted live cd" to partition sdcard. U need to download gparted_live_cd_ISOimage and burn it to a cd. Then using pc u need to boot from live cd to partition sdcard. Here be careful not to format ur pc hard drive.

The partitioning sizes I recommend are 512MB ext , 32MB swap and remaining fat. If that is not sufficient u can choose 1024 MB, 64MB.

If u r using gparted then first create extended partition as fat corresponding to its memory. Then create ext and swap. At last format all those partitions.
[Wildfire General] showlyshah:
Dude, i have done it several times, so far got no issues, and it is the simplest way.
[Wildfire General] ShawnnKushh:
omg wow

so i have conflicting information from this thread and this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19927720#post19927720 on whether or not i am able to create an sdext partition on a factory rom, which i have come to the conclusion that you may be able to, but would you be able to put that partition to use and have apps installed and read from there. please be more specific, i have an LG Opt T running 2.3.3 btw

thanks for any input
[Wildfire General] zephyri-xr:
I used gParted. It's free. You can find it by fecking googling download and burn to a CD. Then boot it on your PC. Linux will show up. Open gParted from desktop and size your ext and format.

I made 1 GB ext4 and 64 MB Swap. 1 GB is too much for ext since I can't use more than 100 MB. 512 is ok. I read somewhere that Swap isn't used anymore but 64 MB isn't a thing in 8000.

It doesn't matter if its ext3 or 4 since you can flash DT's A2SD to any ROM.

The apps you moved to SD before are not in ext partition. They will stay in FAT partition. To move them to ext, simply move them to phone (after DT's A2SD phone means ext part.

Hey man,

I had the same problem a while ago:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1253270&page=2

In the second to last post I finally managed to get it to work. (Just to be clear, I used the darktremor script, but not the app, for the app is use S2E and to visualise my usage i use "freespace", but work like a charm ! )

Hope it helps

Hi all :)

I, as many others, recently became aware of the Vanilla Eclair rom. Now Rdjager has already themed it and done many other nice tweaks, but I personally prefer this simple style, so I've ported it :) It will work on any of the versions of the rom.

I've made six versions this time:

1) Plain: this one contains a plain black statusbar, like the one in Gingerbread.

2) Sense: with a faded sense style bar (just the same background as Rdejagers theme)

3) T: this one has a semi transparent statusbar, but note that very few launchers support transparent statusbar, if yours doesn't support it, it will only show a plain, black bar. Go Launcher and LauncherPro (the stock in Rdejager's version) doesn't support it. Zeam support it, but doesn't work on Eclair. So as far I know you'll only get it with ADW and Launcher 7, but if I'm wrong, scream out :P

Install instructions:

1) Place the zip you want on the root of your SD card (not in any folder)

2) boot into recovery

3) Wipe cache and dalvik cache

4) Flash the zip

Thanks to:

Debilliter for theme

Elelinux for some framework

RaduG for rom

Rdejager for the tweaks

ZDuneX25 for some framework

I am not responsible to any damage this may cause to your device. It worked for me and I see no reason how it permanently could damage your device, but we never know
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] rustybones:
Love it!

A couple of quick questions though.

Is it possible to have the drop down with a white background? Similar to this.

What Launcher are you using? I dig the theme.

Also what weather widget is that?

thanks again!

**edit: nvm, I found this thread which pretty much covers my last two questions :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Habarug:
I will make versions with the white pulldown as soon as I have time :-) and it's go launcher and go weather with 3d theme, if you'd missed some of it ;)

sent with love from me to you
[Hero, G2 Touch Themes and Apps] Habarug:
Added version with white pulldown ;) Moved download links, now in the describtion :) Btw, Launcher 7 supports transparent statusbar :D

Edit: I think i've messed something up in the white versions, if everything starts fcing use one of the others themes or reflash your rom with cache/ dalvik wipe
[HTC Incredible S] josalvmo:
Hi, Loaded latest CoreDroid 1.1 yesterday I had following issues:

*Mirror App is not Installed, not able to test front camera.

*Backlight Buttons not lighted, however they work.

*When doing Video Chat on Google Talk front camera is rotated landscape.

Appreciate any help con correcting these issues while new ROM comes.

Thanks
[HTC Incredible S] itsbeertimenow:
Wrong forum you should email the developer.
[HTC Incredible S] KAwAtA:
I noticed that Mirror App is really only on Android Revolution. I tested mine on other roms using the camera app and just reversing it.

Weird that it doesn't work for that rom.. Unfortunately I haven't tested that rom myself yet. I would assume that the backlights have issues because it's sense 3.0 (but don't take my word for that, I'm not 100% sure) Roms like VirtuousUnity have a fix you can flash to help with the issue... maybe flashing that may help? I can't guarantee that'll help.. I doubt it'd even work lol (I also don't use the incredible anymore but to my knowledge.. I'm pretty sure you have to wait until HTC releases updates for incredible S to have everything working!)

I think it's like this for like EVERY rom (I would blame sense but again.. not 100% sure lol)

Sorry I couldn't give you better answers! I tried.

Dear all

I was wondering if it is possible to record audio from inside an app to my SD card. To be more specific: I am using an app called DI FM which streams electronic music online. The music is great and I would like to record it and save it to my SD card. Is there any way to do that?

Thanks in advance.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] 4g63mark:
My rooting / rom experience has always been on very simple devices. The Droid X last year and this year I have my INC2 and my Charge. The Charge is really easy but the INC2 just seems to not like me. I really want to give my INC2 some usage but the Charge is performing like a champ and going to a stock INC2 is just outta the question.

The point I'm trying to arrive at is that I want to send my stock INC2 to someone reputable, and have it rooted rommed and RIPPED. Of course I'm willing to kick down a donation for the time and effort.

If there's someone interested, PM me your info and I'll get with you about the details. My INC2 is the stock 2.3.3 version.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Also just pay for a box with the phone in it, shipping to and from there. And whatever you feel is fair and ill do it.

As far as rep goes I have the best dev in the Eris forums as well as ppl over there. And anyone who may choose to vouch for me here
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] K3nDroid:
i dont have a rep... but i rooted my dinc2 and ill root your for free..
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] edoubledizzle:
knipp is obviously very knowledgable i wouldnt hesitate sending him my phone and some moola. but.... i would also highly recomend you to figure it out and do it yourself. ROMs come and go and are updated so fast it will be very benificial for you to figure it out. Rooting, S-off, and recovery with alpharev is nearly 1 touch. from there just pick a rom and go to town. that being said, you could send it to knipp have him open it up for you and install all necessary items and ROM manager for you to swap and update ROMs with.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] oxlong27:
+1 on doing it learning it yourself. what happens if you have a bad bug or get a bootloop you won't know what to do to recover. revolutionary makes rooting extremely easy
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] scott7044:
Do it yourself it's free and fun and real easy. I come from a business background with no technical training at all and I did it and have been flashing ROMS all the time, can't decide which one I like best. I like the AOSP roms much more than the sense, part of the reason I rooted was do get rid of sense and use plain vanilla Android or close to it. The Inc2 is the first phone I have rooted and I am 43 years old, 15 year old kids know more about this than I do. So YOU CAN DO IT. Just read and read and read and when you think you have it figured out READ SOME MORE.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
PM me we can get on gtalk or something and I'll help you get rooted and going for free.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChrisDDD:
Yea, I was going to say there's any number of people here who'd be happy to walk you through the process step by step. As was said, roms are updated all the time, so you'll really want to know how to flash back and forth.

And just FYI, I had a Fascinate before this, and rooting the charge is pretty much the same as that. The Inc is different, but not difficult to root and flash.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Sent you a pm bro.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
Just hit my thanks button :-)
[Fascinate General] coltronathon:
How am I supposed to know I have a text or email without it oh god!?

OK life without it isn't THAT bad, but I do miss it. This is something the kernel must support right? I'm kind of hesitant to try a different one because whatever comes preloaded is so good.
[Fascinate General] sfobrien:
I have used both. They work good for a while then BLN quits working completely. The Glitch Kernel doesn't require either to work. My device seems to run better with Jt's so it's a little give and take.

There is an app I also use called "Easy Reminder". No lights just tones and vibration but does work well.
[Fascinate General] coltronathon:
No, I mean for both Blinky and BLN I get a "not supported" message. The mod isn't built into the kernel that comes with the CM7 nightlies.

I'm sure Glitch would work, but it's not nearly as stable (it actually softbricked me last time) and even if I try it out I haven't seen the "stock" CM7 kernel posted anywhere to fall back on.
[Fascinate General] chopper the dog:
Grab jt's v5 kernel from Rom Manager. It has the bln module (nelder's). After flash it will work. But if you shut down to change battery or something and boot bln will stop working. At that point reboot into recovery and choose reboot system now from recovery and bln will work. In the future if you need to reboot device rebbot into rec and reboot from there and bln will work.

good day.

So here its what is happening I run the following commands adb pull /system/framework/lge_res.apk file pulls fine I replace the files I want replaced not really sure if I am editing the right folder out not more just trying to see what changes specifically I am trying to change my voice mail icon ok that goes fine so I run adb push lge_res.apk /system/framework goes through fine however after I reboot I lose all my contacts which is fine I can restore them just wondering why when I pull then push I am losing them.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Ok so I now know that the icon I want to change is in framework-res.apk but now after I replace the voicemail icon and try to push out back to system/framework it won't let me it is saying that it is read only any ideas? tried adb remount and I get remount failed unknown error: 0
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Alright, easiest way is to download RevoBatteryMod.zip. Once downloaded open the zip file. Open system file, then framework file. There should be a framework-res.apk in there. Replace it with yours. Back out and rezip if you extracted (you don't have to though, you can just open it) Flash the new zip and ignore what it says through cwm. It will install it for you.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Thank you sir worked like magic!

Now I can finely get around to paying the mortgage :)
[LG Revolution] mtmichaelson:
Awesome! Glad you got it to work!
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
Btw it did let me adb push in recovery using the adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework/framework-res.apk out just didn't take the changes I made because of being read only I guess I don't see why I can't adb remount to get rw though I tried that in recovery also and still got the same error any thoughts on why I can't get the system to remount?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Weaknespase:
When I use cifs for streaming video for my phone, i noticed many freezes during playback, that makes watching uncomfortable. Having many hours on finding way to fix this problem, i got source code of opencore and began to understand it's architecture.

As result i found that file source filter in chain didn't perform any stream buffering, so i patched source code of libopencore_common and force the use of asynchronous reading mode within 256Kb buffer size. (16 buffers of 16Kb each)

After replacing original file by patched, video playing from network through cifs stopped to freeze and stutter.

Installation:

Mount /system for rw access

Replace original /system/bin/libopencore_common.so by patched file

Reboot phone

Based on android 2.2 opencore sources, so i don't recommend install this over gingerbread updates. Though may still work, why not to try?

Don't forget to make backup just in cause. This can save a bunch of time, if this isn't work for your device.

PS. For those who interests: i patched oscl_file_io.cpp, method Oscl_File::OpenFileCacheOrAsyncBuffer and oscl_file_async_read.cpp

PPS. Perhaps this work also for Droid 2 and Milestone 2, cause those two have same opencore implementation as D2G
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] jbroderick:
What Android version are you running on your D2G, Is this still a problem with the new Gingerbread update?
[Droid 2 Global Android Development] Weaknespase:
Oh.. I so sorry for forgetting, it's last froyo update 2.4.330 for D2G (last year update), gingerbread not released yet, as i know.

However, probably i won't upgrade my device to gingerbread, as far as froyo suits very well for me.

I found way to trick system and put file in internal storage as fully functional sd card, enabled buffering for video playback, installed cifs support, hardware 720p decoder, writed simple cli tool that displays text on screen for output of custom boot scripts, and did some other small tweaks. I don't want setup all from beginning, cause new update unlikely increase computing power of cpu in this phone, in fact the only thing i prefer.

we need one simple tool that makes the complete process i think..

well, if you don't get it what is posted here I would mean you are not worth of using any rom. I think that tutorial is very nice, simple explained and I think you can't do anything wrong if you follow that instructions CAREFULLY.

May be you did not take notice of that tutorial - feel free to use it :)

good luck.

well the ulocking process is not more than 2 clicks so...

just concentrate a little on the tutorial...its very easy, u just gotta click a s1tool button (s1tool tutorial is even given in the software interface) and then If the simlock certificate specified is SEMC SIMLOCK CERTIFICATE, run msm7227_Setool.cmd while debugging on...its that simple...go through the thread one more time spyderx's tutorial

ive seen the guide to unlock.. but iam afraid to brick my phone permanently

rooting i learned by myself too.. but i think that is to heavy for me...

can i brick my complete device when i make something false ?

my device has no simlock (buyed simlock free phone).. works that ?

i need to unlock on 2.1 stock rom ? or can i do on custom rom too ?

can i reinstall an CWM recovery on unlocked phone ? or there are problems with modules loaded ?

sorry for these much questions.. i only wanna be safe before i unlock it
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] taufiiqqq:
