Folowed the instructions to the letter but now titanium backup says im not rooted. Any ideas folks?
[Galaxy S II General] blossom:
Obviously people will choose the no wipe version.

I mean, no hussle to do the set up again.

Then my question is why wipe?
[Galaxy S II General] rickytenzer:
A wipe is always good once in a while, especially if you notice that your phone is going noticeably slower.
[Galaxy S II General] alexcarterkarsus:
man... did you OC it or something? :D
[Galaxy S II General] Intratech:
You do understand that you need to root the device after flashing right?

Hi guys, can anybody explain wich are the main differences between 2.3.4 and 2.3.5? Do you thing is a good change this new version? Thanks for your op¡nion

That has to be OC, I get that at 1.6Ghz on 2.3.4.

How to install Darky's rom

This is the procedure i adopted to flash Darky's rom over my Lightening rom without losing my data and root.

Create a folder called "Darky" in the root of your sdcard and add the following based on your needs.

a. If you want to wipe, create a blank file/folder called "wipe"

b. If you want none of the Samsung apps installed, create a blank file/folder called "no-samsung"

c. If you don't want swype installed, create a blank file/folder called "no-swype"

Next, you need to copy the Superuser.apk file from the /data/app folder to the /system/app folder in the rom zip file. You can easily do it with 7zip or winrar. Dont extract the zip file. Just extract the Superuser.apk from /data/app folder to your desktop, copy it back to your /system/app folder and then delete it from your /data/app folder.

That's it. Flash from cwm recovery.

---------- Post added at 07:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

Nope. The middle one is a flashable zip file. You need to flash it in cwm recovery.

Supercore.tar is the kernel which is already included in the zip file. You need to use it only if you dont have a unsecure kernel already installed on your phone.

The talk app that comes with the rom doesn't have video chat functionality. You can use the SGSII-Talk2.zip file to get that.

Darkyrom2 tool is available in market.

Anyone getting the google music beta to work after this update?

I have the account synced, but no music seems to download to the phone
[Galaxy S II General] angelomaldito:
So far, I've noticed that:

1- in 2.3.5 the Home screens switch in full circle (i.e. it now goes straight from home screen 1 to home screen 7, right to left unlike 2.3.4 where to go from 1 to 7 it was needed to pass by 2,3,4,5,6 only from left to right.)

2- Instead of the "elastic effect" when you reach the end of the page/menu/etc you're scrolling (aka overscroll) you get a blue "lightning effect" similar to what happen in some custom ROMs.

3- It seems to be slightly faster. Some people testing it on Quadrant benchmark however are getting huge scores, as you can see in this thread.
[Galaxy S II General] chiggah:
Hi do I need to do a full wipe coming from VillainROM 2.5 to darkyrom 2.3.5?

Or can i just do a dalvik/cache wipe without Data wipe?

And simply install via CWM yes ?
[Galaxy S II General] nraudigy2:
Can someone test the audio quality on this rom? It sounds better than my Cowon now.
[Galaxy S II General] juanpablociano:
Thanks angelomaldito, I appreciate your help. Im not sure if this rom is enough to try it, Ill see in the future but I think there are not too many changes
[Galaxy S II General] rawfa:
I've flashed the non-wipe version successfully, but now I cannot get the phone rooted. I'm able to flash the insecure tar but when I start the SuperOneclickv2.1.1 it stops at #6 and the program stops working.

Any thoughts? I have a bunch of apps that need rooting.
[Galaxy S II General] beaver2233:
Why don't you just flash a custom kernel ?
[Galaxy S II General] onslaught86:
Man, this thread is just full of silly questions. Many thanks to Intratech & friends, I admire your patience.

Few things I haven't seen mentioned - the overscroll glow is present in Gmail/the browser/everywhere there would previously have been the overscroll bounce. . The loop-scrolling in the TouchWiz launcher is also present when adding widgets, a welcome change.

Seems likely that, as speculated, Samsung is trying to remove the bounce.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spree8nyk8:
My epic 4g touch is rooted, and I have both wifi tether and barnacle on the phone. I've been trying to connect my Asus G50 to it for a day and a half now with no success. I can see the network but cannot join. What has been even more frustrating is that I have been able to fully connect with other computers. So I know it's something with my laptop, but I cant figure out what, I've reinstalled the drivers, I've even uninstalled and reinstalled the wireless device. (which sucks because I know I just lost all my other wifi info's).

I'm really not sure what the next step here is and I could really use some help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Spree8nyk8:
anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] puff601:
Wifi tether is crap.... Can someone please hack sprint hotspot app like on epic og?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
You are doing better than me. If I enable security it doesn't even show on my laptop and if I disable it, it shows but my computer never can connect. I tried to enable it for BT tethering instead but had no luck there either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
What version are you using?

I can connect but I can't browse the internet. MS downloads updates just fine. I can ping www.google.com from cmd just fine, but I CANNOT browse the internet with IE, firefox, or Chrome.....wtf?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I tried this version http://code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/

I also tried the version on android market

EDIT - I noticed a 5002 in my event viewer. Even though I've never had a problem connecting to a wireless device before I updated my network driver on my laptop and I'm connected NOW!!! I still can't enable security but at least I have a connection!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beejis:
+1, definitely want this again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eagercrow:
Thats the same version I have. Are you using your phones 4g or 3g connection for the internet? I didn't even bother with 3g because its so frustratingly slow.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I'm using 3G because my 4G is even slower than 3G where I am in Culver City - I get about 400k with 3G.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Uamore6:
What is the security set at on the phone.... Wap.... Then check the setup for laptop.... Make sure they match....

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boe:
I don't think you can have security enabled on the phone - it won't show up as a choice for wifi on your laptop.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kufer:
Any progress here?

Both versions of wifi tether as well as Barnacle don't even show up as an available network on my Galaxy tab (no security set)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eeebbr:
Hello,

Wierd situation:

I bought my phone india 3 monthes ago.every thing was ok at the beginning-than I tried insanity rom and from that moment on(maybe not related) I can't get into the *#9900# menu or any other secret codes except *#*#3646#*#*.

I tried different roms, different dialers, even using the secret codes app won't work.

Right now I'm using stock rom kh4 with tagrak kernel.

Also but not sure that has anything to do with it, im using nitrality app with 182 Dpi.

Other than that I made no changes other than to take some (kind of a lot) of apk from the system apps.

So now with all the info-anyone got an idea?

edit: it was the servicemodeapp.apk that i removed constantly.

i guess i found what it does because till now it had no effect on my daily use

Alright, I need someone with broader knowledge than me.

I would like to achieve video calling between this Nokia C7 and my G2x. What are my options?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
None as yet.
[LG Optimus 2x] djEthen:
Use fring to video chat. Best app for video chatting on all platforms. Can even do group video calling.
[LG Optimus 2x] aplsux:
So, evethough it says, no one has succeeded yet?

Video chat Fring works on G2x?
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
If you get on GB, you could use GTalk on the 2X and Fring on the Nokia maybe.
[LG Optimus 2x] aplsux:
Noo, don't take it back.:p By the same logic, Skype video calling works on G2x as well.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Skype doesn't work yet as far as I know
[LG Optimus 2x] aplsux:
No, skype video doesn't.
[LG Optimus 2x] ergoen:
Or you could just do a regular video call... (Could be expensive depending on your operator of course...)

edit: regular means through the phone network, not the interwebz
[LG Thrill 4G] imichael8:
The first week I had the phone i flashed it using an Optimus 3D KDZ file. now that i am trying to use LG Thrill Roms the radio doesnt match and thus i only get one bar of service and continously drop to edge

Is there any way to create a KDZ file for the LG Thrill from the system dump?

Is there any way to flash radios on LG androids (I only have experience with Samsung and HTC radio flashing)?

Is there a way to flash the deafult radio from the system dump?
[LG Thrill 4G] quarlow:
I haven't seen anyone do this yet. That's why I am still on the stock ROM. Keep your eyes on the dev forum, when its figured out that's where it will be.

[Epic 4G Android Development] kynolin:
I've been running this since last night, and it seems to work much better for me than when I tried to run TW 4.5. The only issue I've had so far is with market updates crashing the market, but I'm sure that's from the way I restored all my apps, since I was so tired.

I would like to know if anyone knows of a way to do this true TW4 standalone from the ROM, or is the only way to use this ROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] socos25:
If it is anything like TW4.5, you have to turn on landscape mode followed by a reboot. It only has to be done once but once you do you get landscape.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
Yeah, all you need is the framework.jar from the framework folder and it needs to go in an Eh17 rom and you also need twlauncher from system/app
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
Hey J. Everytime I run this I get only the app drawer on the dock. No phone browser or whatever else is usually there. Is it something I'm doing?
[Epic 4G Android Development] kynolin:
Just manually add the apps you want on the dock.

(App Drawer > Menu > View Type > Customizable Grid > Menu > Edit > *Make Changes* > Menu > Save > Menu > View Type > Go back to what you like.)

It's a lot more annoying than other launchers on the market, but you can still do it. TW4 seems to have a maximum of three apps, plus the app drawer. On the custom TW4.5, it allows for more, but the app drawer still will always be the right-most icon. Those two things are all I would as for Samsung.. well maybe an auto-hide home screen number too. Minor annoyances but a silky smooth launcher.

Also, thanks for the reply xboxfanj, about trying to add this without needing to flash the whole ROM.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jayare313:
Thanks.
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:
If anyone knows how to make a theme install script, the only files I changed were framework.jar and TWlauncher
[Epic 4G Android Development] kynolin:
If I can find the time, I might try learning how to do that, because I'm having a bit too much trouble combining my mods. I might tinker with it, along side working on getting ACS ICS where I want it on my phone. In the meantime, I've been using QQLauncher. It's nicer looking, and more of what I want, since it readily works with ACS ICS, but TW4 seemed to be a bit smoother for me. Now that the Galaxy Nexus has been announced, I might also be a little more patient as things develop. Not to mention, Cyanogen is getting pretty polished. Decisions, decisions.. I'll be glad when I'm finally settled on something. :confused: Until then, hopefully I can learn enough to help put some of these solid mods together. :cool:
[Epic 4G Android Development] xboxfanj:

[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
I still haven't decided when/if I'm going to s-off and root this phone yet. In the past, I've hated the HTC stock rom and have always opted for overclocking and repartitioning the device to have a bigger /data section. But, so far on the Sensation, I actually like Sense 3.0, the only thing I'm not a fan of is the battery life, but I'm using juicedefender which helps that out. I don't need to overclock this phone (overclocking a 1.2 ghz dualcore? Why?) and there seems to be more than enough space for apps, and it's speedy fast. What are the big incentives for rooting this phone besides just having custom roms? Because leaving the stock software I may lose stuff that I like about it, like all of the camera options and effects, the fast boot function, there is just so much that I feel like they got right with sense 3.0 and going back to an aosp custom rom I'd lose a lot of the sensation functionality I feel like. I'm kinda on the fence about this one. It was a no brainer on the g1 and the mytouch slide, because both needed overclocking and custom software to be anywhere close to decently usable, but I don't know about this one. Anyone have any recommendations on the matter? The other thing is I'm in school now and also have a job, which means significantly less time to be screwing around with my phone.
[HTC Sensation] dobadoes:
I dont know I would like to know too!
[HTC Sensation] cyrarchy:
well i am using ARHD 3.6.0 and if you like sense well its a lot smoother on it then stock!

battery life doesnt improve drastically, atleast it didnt for me. but if you wanna try it, go for it, you can always revert back to stock if you want. thats the best part about s-off and root , you can do whatever you want :)
[HTC Sensation] MusicMan374:
That's a good point. And I do remember being able to tweak everything more when rooted. So is that Rom you're using just the rooted version of the stock sense 3.0 Rom or is it something different? What's it based on?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxspiderx:
I have noticed that with the stock keyboards, whenever I type really fast they always fail to detect the 2nd keystroke that was made within short interval after the first one. Is there a keyboard out there that could fix this problem or is it a inherent deficiency with the capacitive onscreen keyboards?

On a side note, can anyone tell me where to download the gingerbread in android market? I have looked high and low and couldn't find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I honestly haven't used the factory keyboard... I've got Swiftkey X, it seems to handle multitouch. I've even tried typing leaving my first finger down while pressing the next - no issues.

That's not the reason I got it though, I got it because it's built on a slick predictive text algorithm, it predicts the next words it thinks you might want to type so you type less. And the voice recognition I like better too, if you use the voice-to-text... it gives you 3 options to pick from so you aren't stuck groaning at whatever it thought you said.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] japper88:
if you search for gingerbread keyboard in the market you should find it. I think the developer is steven lin and it is called "keyboard from android 2.3"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxspiderx:
I am using swift now and it also has that missing keystroke problem. I have also noticed that text prediction doesn't work with at least gmail application. In addition, like the samsung keyboard, there is no way to force use my own "misspelled" word when prediction is enabled.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HikingMoose:
Hello all. I just upgraded my HTC Merge from froyo 2.2 to gingerbread 2.3.4. I like how the new rom works, and feels and its features. But on froyo I would unplug before bed, with data off, wifi off, gps off, bluetooth off, and wake up with 99% battery life. I did a titanium backup before gingerbread. Updated with HTC Sync and used titanium backup to restore all my settings. Now when I wake up I have 37% battery!!!!:mad:

Going from 1% battery loss in 7 hours, to 70% battery loss in 7 hours is completely ridiculous. I have one a partition cache wipe, battery stat wipe and the like. I have not changed any settings. The phone is not in use over night. The stats show that android OS and system idle are both using 40% of my batter a piece. Any ideas? Could it be a bad install? Some say their battery life is better, how can mine be so much worse? I've tried most of what I've read from the thousands of other users with the same problem. I am rooted, but don't know of any custom roms or kernels for the Merge. I have a few more things to try, but just wanted to see what you guys all thought.

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate it.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] vjetti:
