I recently got this phone on cragslist, I rooted it and all but it always ask me to actavate service and i the only way I can stop it from asking me that is if I put the phone in airplane mode and reboot but the only problem with that is that is that I cant use home/search/menu buttons. XP it there anyway I can make it from stop doing that? I knew this phone has bad esn I just want to flash to boost. Thank you for your time.
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
The easiest way would be to flash 2.2 so you can turn mobile data off. But, that won't fix thevinderlying problem of the buttons goofing up. There is a button remapping tool. If you do a little research, and there is a post with instructions. That might help
[Continuum General] t1231:
You can try this, but I think you have to do it after every reboot.

[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
Honestly, I'm curious as to why it's deactivating the softkey. I wouldn't think that its supposed to do that.
[Continuum General] optimaljam:
I dont know what I did but I made it work again thanks everyone. I just need to know if I can flash this to boost myself because i dont wanna pay some random guy to do it for me. :p
[Continuum General] Txwolf1980:
I'm sure you can, somehow. I've seen posts where people have done it before (not with our phone) I would suggest finding threads about it, and asking how on there.
[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
Is there an app that allows one to download .apk 's from File Sonic links? Thanks in advance. :p
[Motorola Droid X2] m125:
I don't understand, like a dedicated file sonic app or something like download crutch so you wont get the content unsupported error?
[Motorola Droid X2] quadjacks:
upon download completed, i end up with an .htm file and not the actual .apk
[Motorola Droid X2] G2sws:
Glad someone asked. I would like to know also.

Been using boat browser I will give the other a try.
[Motorola Droid X2] IDMA.DROID.X2:
I was having trouble with this on default browser, but I switched to Dolphin browser and have no problems.

EDIT: Also try making sure the option for installing unknown apps, just a thought
[Motorola Droid X2] G2sws:
Thanks for the help you guys. I went to dolphin mini and I think that did the trick

[Nexus S General] Packman14:
Hi!

I wanna root my Nexus S now. But i see that i have to get my device wiped before i get root.

The problem is that i cant backup app data without root. And i cant loose alle my game data :-)

So does any of you have a good idea how i can move my data further to my rooted Nexus? :-)
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
You can try this:

1. Download the latest clockworkmod recovery image

2.

fastboot boot clockworkmod-recovery.img

3. Do a nandroid backup

4. Copy all stuff on the internal SD to your computer

5.

fastboot oem unlock

6. Copy all stuff back to the internal SD

7.

fastboot flash recovery clockworkmod-recovery.img

8. Do a nandroid restore

9. Root your phone

I'm not sure if it'll work, just an idea of something you can try.
[Nexus S General] BlackHawkA4:
Don't you need to unlock before you can flash a new recovery? lol.
[Nexus S General] Si_NZ:
If you are talking about step 2, it's not flashing, it's booting the image without flashing.
[Nexus S General] kenvan19:
A lot of people have issues with the command

fastboot boot

For some reason it seems to not work on the majority of devices let alone the fact that I'm fairly certain you can't fastboot anything without unlocking. There was a root method pre 2.3.3 that made use of that hole which then got closed with 2.3.3

Basically, all you can feasibly do is copy all of your SD card contents to your computer and hope the saves are there.

~~EDIT~~

So I went back and viewed the pre 2.3.3 root guide without bootloader unlock and I am correct, you CANNOT run fastboot commands other than

fastboot oem unlock

until after unlocking the bootloader.

However, the thread does reference this post with someone using gingerbreak to root a LOCKED NS (unlocking is what wipes your phone). But the link in that post no longer goes anywhere. Its possible the one-click methods don't unlock the bootloader but thats something you'll have to check into and I always discourage one-clicks where possible because its so much safer to run the commands yourself.
[Nexus S General] corythug:
1 click does indeed unlock bootloader fyi. It then roots and flashes su.
[Nexus S General] Packman14:
Thanks for the answers :)

I unlocked my bootloader before i saw youre answers so i didnt check if it worked. But i copyed the SD card so i got some aplication data, like gameloft saves and such. So now iam rooted again ;)

I lost my angry birds saves but it doesnt matter cause iam tired of it anyway :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Guys, my new S2 arrives next week. What's the best, fastest, cleanest rooted ROM?

Used all sorts on my Desire and settled on Cm7. Hate Miui.

What's out there? Needs to be very stable and have decent battery life too and 100% functional.

Suggestions?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] landwomble:
Also not heard much about app2sd and data2sd. Necessary on the galaxy or is there enough internal storage for it not to be a problem? I use *lots* of apps...

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] palashisback:
Hey guyz i was just surfing the net when I stumbled on to it and man it looks awesome. It works on any android device.

It is MIUI Launcher, I've tested it myself on cyanogen 1.3 and galaxy ace stock rom .

Just try it out once

Peace out!!!!!!!

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] palashisback:
It is a home screen replacement app just like launcher pro and go launcher
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Lefty_il:
it is fine, but it nedd to be worked out more, because is not fully translated and working. :(
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] JC0406:
O: I'll give it a try.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] 123shree:
Is it the real MIUI launcher????

Because I had used the app a long time back...and it just 'looks' like the MIUI launcher...

It has custom Themes,etc., but everything in Chinese.. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s33k3r:
I just started on the crazy world of roms, but I'm having issues to install MIUI.

My Galaxy S was on 2.2.1 (TMN Portugal), so I used ODIN to flash JVS and it worked great but now I want to try MIUI, so after reading countless tutorials, I flashed JVQ, and immediately after the chainfire kernel. I copied the MIUI 2.3.5a zip to the sd and proceded to boot in CWM (version 3 I think), did all the wipes and installed, or better tried to, MIUI. When the process started I could see a bit os ascii art for the MIUI Logo but immediately after the phone rebooted, after the reboot it booted straight into cwm (version 4). I've tried at leat 5 times but the same thing always happens, any advice???
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fremen567:
Try redownloading ROM, wipe everything and flash.

Why the hell are you using 2.3.5 it's old and a lot of features are not implemented in that one.

Download 2.9.23 and flash it, works just fine.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s33k3r:
I'm using the latest stable available at miui-pt.com, the portuguese version of MIUI.

I did redownloaded every rom I used at least three times and flashed, always with the same result.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] roughavoc:
What I do is flash back down to 2.2 then flash back up to the latest MIUI build.

This is the guide I use (You will need to Google the files as the links are premium...)

http://www.c2s.co.nz/blog/the-full-guide-to-miui-on-the-samsung-galaxy-s/

I do this every time when I have a problem, just a fresh clean install (:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fremen567:
Try flashing the rom from miuiandroid.com just to see if it is rom related after all.

I would not flash back to 2.2, you'd be stuck with froyo bootloaders and worse battery life then with flashing from GB.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mundano:
The beta versions of MIUI are stable enought for daily use... Flash the 1.9.23 version ;)

BTW: the best way to flash MIUI is to use ROM Manager.

If you phone is not booting, the best way is:

1- Flash the JVS stock ROM using ODIN (JVS modem is better than th JVQ one to use with TMN ;) )

2- Flash a kernel with CWM support. Like CF-Root, or Speedmod.

3- Install ROM Manager,

4- In ROM Manager select Download ROM > MIUI PT > 1.9.24 wait for the download, and then select all wipes, and hit OK.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Cohdee:
This is a new one for me. It HAS to be some sort of malware. My phone keeps calling people on its own, and when its calling them it shows on my phone that they are calling me! It's not in my pocket when it happens most of the time, so I've ruled out pocket dialing. Has anyone seen this issue or ran into anything similar?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
I can't help you, but it would help if you posted what changes you've made to your phone.

ie: rom, theme, addons, dialer

I'm running a fresh install of infused 1.6. Its been quite some time since I have installed anything. I installed Lookout to see if would find anything. It didn't.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Cohdee:
No one else has seen this issue?

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:
Hello!

As some of you know, pvyParts and I have been working on a custom stock-based ROM, T.E.A.M., which was initially released as a themed ROM to offer transparency and replace the Theme Chooser that we haven't been able to port properly, giving endless options on custom backgrounds (since your wallpaper is the system background). ;)

As the ROM evolved and custom kernels became available, I wanted to tweak it using init.d scripts.

As all good developers here do, I searched the Android Software and Hacking General section,

browsed other devices' forums and came up with some tweaks that were really good -on paper.

To my disappointment, most of these did not work.

And I am not saying this because I didn't "feel" a difference

or because I could not spread my X10's smoothness on a cracker. :D

There is actually a way to test if a script runs with no errors, a.k.a actually works.

Without further adieu, here is how:

1. Place the script you want to test (let's say test.sh)

in /system and give it all permissions,

either with Root Explorer or via adb:

adb shell chmod 777 /system/test.sh

NOTE: Sometimes scripts don't have an extension (sh).

It's OK, you can still test it with this method.

2. Now install an app like Script Manager and run the script.

Or, do it via adb:

adb shell sh /system/test.sh

3. Now there are 3 things you might face:

- If you get an error in return, it means the script doesn't work,

so no point in placing it in init.d and running it at every boot, right?

- Some scripts include debug, so you may get a message saying Done, Success, or whatever, which means you are good to go.

- You might not get any output at all, but still that means the script ran fine.

For the latter two cases, you can safely run the script at boot by placing it in init.d folder.

The reason this thread is in development, is because I feel that since the X10 is getting old and many developers have left,

(but luckily new ones still appear, which is plainly AWESOME :)), quality of ROMs is very important.

We have fewer choices, so let's make them worthwhile! ;)
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Prodigy:
Doing it right now.

BTW- I'm first! Again!
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] iridaki:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] Arnold.Alexius:

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] kaosdroid:
Thank

cause script stress me well :)

Now i can see if work or not

[XPERIA X10 Android Development] draiyan:
so if my rom has a init.d folder, does it means it supports or run script (on init.d folder) at boot? is there a way to check if my rom has init.d support??
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] maddes1402:
Yes, support at boot.

To my less knowledge, just look if there is a init. d folder in system/etc/

When you make an own rom check if the kernel you wanna use,has init. d support.

Hope I didn't talk crap and this is right :D
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] draiyan:
but im really confuse here, i found this script,

/etc/init.d/03sdcardspeedfix

at some line of this script, it reads;

i know some c++ programming, and from what i know the value 2048 is assigned to read_ahead_kb, so i assume its the same in android. BUT, after reboot, i jumped to

/sys/devices/virtual/bdi/179:0/read_ahead_kb

to found out that its still 128, then i started thinking that the script didnt run, but the dev says the rom is init.d supported.

is there a way to test if init.d is reallty working? like at terminal emulator?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] draiyan:
i tried install-recovery but i got no file at local/temp??? there should be a log file in it rigth?
[XPERIA X10 Android Development] CosmicDan:
Another tip - add this command to the top of the script:

set -xv

This will give full command echoing when you run the script so you can see where the error is. The android shell doesn't report lines accurately, I think it's because it doesn't count comments as lines. It will also make easily visible syntax errors that dont error but cause a conditional to report incorrect, e.g. if you accidentally use == instead of = or forget double-quotes when comparing strings.
[Off-topic] Gaugerer:
Tablets sit uncomfortably between the mobile phone and the laptop/desktop computer not able to replace either. They are too large to be used as a mobile phone and they lack the wide range of features that would allow them to replace the laptop/desk top computer.

Fortunately, smart phones like the Galaxy Note are coming to the rescue by providing a near Tablet experience whilst remaining mobile.

I think the only way a Tablet could benefit me is if it were running full blown Windows. It would be nice if what you were doing on your Desktop were somehow mirrored on the tablet; So for example, if you were working on something at your desk, something comes on the TV you want to watch... you could pick up the tablet, sit down on the sofa and just carry on working on the tablet from where you left off.

Perhaps both the Desktop OS, and the Tablet counterpart, could have a 'send to..' button that instantly sends the session to the other hardware?

Should i phone Microsoft and tell them to get on it or is the idea a dud?

>> click on CLOSE in ZuneSetup

>> install zune with StartZuneLocal.exe //// wait for ZuneSetup to complete ////

>> click on CLOSE in ZuneSetup

>> connect phone to usb //// wait for Installing device driver software to complete ////

>> copy RCToRTM to C:\

>> double click on ISVTo7720.bat //// wait for 7720 update to complete ////

>> run Connection Setup //// unlocks phone ////
