[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
you can preinstall apps to /data/app but it takes update script modding. if you havent figured it out it is a lot easier to add them as system apps in /system/app
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cat2115:
@Dani897: I try adding apk to /system/app or /data/app but none are working. When I add apk to /system/app; after the rom flashed and reboot, Samsung kept on flashing forever.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
check your permissions!

the data/app way need adition work in the update script. im not gonna get into that.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] cat2115:
Thanks. How do i check permission? in CWM? In cwm (red) v2.5.1.3 -->Install zip from sdcard --> toggle signature verification-->disable'

In advance, all i see is fix permissions.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
no in a terminal emulator or in linux. they get screwy sometimes if you do editing in windows. i cant even seem to get ownership of one of my flash drives on my linux machine after i formatted it with windows.

if you are on a mac you can do it by clicking and choosing "get info" from the context menu apparently but i dont own a mac so i dont know.

i never used it but check out cygwin and do some googling on permissions in terminal/console. it might be best if you are not ready to install a new os. but you can also install ubuntu with the wubi installer inside windows of use a vm with osx or the linux distro of your choice pretty easily. please dont ask for support questions on doing those things.

you can find permissions of files in a directory with ls -l

you can change them with chmod an ususally one of the numbers below but there are others, google is your friend

666 is rw-rw-rw

644 is rw-r--r-

777 is rwxrwxrwx

755 is rwxr-xr-x

644 or 755 are the most likely that they should be.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SirReal63:
I am about to upgrade my phone. Currently on a Touch Pro 2 and Xrom. This will be my first Android phone and obviously I am considering the Bionic. I know nothing about Android and since Microsoft seems to have abandoned the smartphone world and very few phones are on 7, it seems like a good time to make the move.

I have read the reviews, scoured this forum and it looks like the Bionic is everything it is supposed to be. I am a noob, just an old one, this phone is my b-day present to myself, will be 48 in a few days. I do have a few questions...

Is the Bionic really the shiznit phone or should I wait for a while for a better phone on the horizon?

I can get this phone for $220 bucks through Amazon or $250 through Verizon. Is there any reason to not get it from Amazon?

I am not quite ready to get into flashing new rom's on Android as I have a lot of learning to do first, but I hate bloatware. With the TP2 getting off the stock rom was a good thing, I can go two days on a battery charge, but is it as important with Android? I know the Bionic can be rooted and bloatware removed, but does it slow the phone down if it is left there?

Thanks in advance, this forum rocks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] slvrdrgn123:
I upgraded from the TP2. Couldn't be happier. Didn't have many problems with the TP2, but it's old and outdated. This thing is just a beast. You could wait for something better, but I decided that it was time. If something else comes out and I want it, I'll just use a different upgrade.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SirReal63:
Thanks, actually I have had zero issues with my TP2 that I got right after it's release. I wasn't sure I wanted to give it up, but I will have it as a backup phone so that works out. My only apprehension is the Motorola phone, I swore I would never have another after the MotoQ that got replaced 4 times in 4 weeks before I demanded a Touch Pro 1 and Verizon coughed it up to keep me happy.

I like new and learning Android will be fun. I just don't want to go through what I did with the MotoQ, what a pc of crap that was. Motorola used to be awesome, but I haven't had a good Moto phone since the StarTac.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Underwater Mike:
I would recommend against the Bionic, but only because of the locked bootloader situation. Not being able to load what I wanted was the reason I left the iPhone -- I don't want to settle for a half-baked solution with a rooted-but-unlocked Bionic.

Overall, the phone performs well (with the exception of random data connection loss and battery drain). But, for $200 or more, I ought to be able to do with the phone what I want. :(
[Motorola Droid Bionic] SirReal63:
There is no difference in buying from Amazon or Verizon directly, except with Verizon you have 14 days to return it for a 30% restock fee, Amazon will let you have 30 days. After 30 days you get a refurb from Verizon for the remainder of a year.

I understand battery life, the TP2 I had to charge after about 8 hours until I went with a custom ROM. I don't see much that it can do that I want to do that I can't already do with my TP2, except a better camera and movie playback. I do take pics with my TP2, but I am not sure I would take or play many movies with the Bionic, so that isn't much of an issue. I have a real camera and blue ray players all over the house. I know I would miss my physical keyboard, and every new phone I have touched with a physical keyboard feels like lightweight junk and nothing has the solid feel I am used to. The current Droid phones from Verizon leave little to be desired, with the exception of the Bionic. At least I can say the Bionic has a good feel, I will just have to learn to type on the touchscreen. The screen is large enough that my fat fingers can, I demo'd the phone at a VZ brick and mortar. I will miss my Bing Navigation but can adapt to Google, my old 7 series BMW is not BT capable, but does have Navigation that works, though I am so used to my Bing voice app that I rarely use it. I may get the Nav cradle for the Bionic, it has some appeal.

As far as unlocked phones go, the current trend from Moto seems to be locked bootloaders. I do believe that the awesome people here will crack that code or Motorola will give it up. Though I don't really see much reason to upgrade, my phone is getting old and I am a tech junkie at times. I think the time is now. :-)

I am still interested in other peoples opinions, your experience has value, at least to me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo.:
Hello,

I've got S2 with Cognizant and Speedmod S2 Kernel. Everything works fine. I'll try to put it as "ordered" as possible.

Few doubts,

1) I'm a Rom Junkie(I came over from x10) and I don't have warranty, I see a lot of people got IMEI changed and even though they backed up "efs" partition, Nothing fixed (It's a hassle to take it to service center). Is there a proper way to safeguard "efs" partition (which contains IMEI) as per what i see on other thread.

2) I'm on a custom rom, How do I get back to official rom using KIES? Do I have to flash an official kernel or get back to official rom+kernel? How does this KIES thing work? I'm from India wondering if there is 2.3.5 update?

3) Why don't we have vodoo kernel just like GS-1? They were awesome.

4) if I flash the latest 2.3.5 will I loose the functionality to remove "yellow" triangle? Do I have to backup the bootloader or update the bootloader? Any clear info on this?

Thanks for all your help and responses, it would be appreciated.

- Neo
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
hey buddy if you want to flash an official rom i would say do it through odin. go into the development forum original that is and find the stock rom thats in your region and follow the instructions through that thread.

Thanks for your time tho!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matriak31:
My apologies buddy. If i knew the answers to your other two questions i would of answered in the order you wanted. apologies and i hope you get the info you want...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
I dont have all the answers but ill tell you what i know

#1-Yes its a good idea to back-up your efs file.Not hard to do really.

The easiest ways would be:Full nandroid back-up,CWM(although conflicting reports of efs back-up in folders),copying efs folder to /data in phone and not internal-sd with root explorer(apparently internal sd looses permissions when copying).There is Hellcats KTool and apps like Nutrilaty also.Those to me being the easiest

#2-Kies needs to be installed to flash via odin as installing kies installs the drivers.Kies wont bring back a stock firmware,only Odin can do that and kies wont recognize your phone with a none official firmware.It can be used with an official firmware and a root kernel without problems though.If you have an official firmware in your phone and you plug it in to kies and there is a 2.3.5 update it will automatically advise you.

#3-that one i dont know.Sorry:(

#4-If you flash to 2.3.5 officialy or from another site you will be stuck with the yellow triangle as far as i am aware as it contains the new bootloader and can not be re-set with the jig.You can flash it here on XDA from this link

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

which contains the old bootloader.Its 2.3.5 XXK13 and lets you re-set the counter and get rid of the triangle.

I like the review. Glad its not so iPhone biased like Engadget normally does their reviews.

They are lying their asses off though when it comes to battery life being phenomenal. I'd always trust Anandtech review's more for battery life testing which rates it at good for screen-on time but not "AMAZING" the way Engadget is making it out to be...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ngocdao:
This is my 8th Android and ive had all iPhone generations and I can honestly say that for the screen size and power that this phone packs, it does have awesome battery life. The best ive ever seen in Android. I text all day, surf web, talk, email, facebook, write and read lots of emails, read xda, etc.. and past 3 days it has lasted me thru my 8-10 hour shift with about 20-25% left to spare as I get home.

This battery life is just as good, if not better, than the iPhone 4 mho

[Galaxy S II General] twixyz:
In other words, would anyone be so kind to check if 2.3.4 updated Gtalk to support video and voice chat?
[Galaxy S II General] Sp1tfire:
Video chat is not supported in 2.3.4 firmwares, if your phone has root you can replace the gtalk.apk with a modded one. You can find the .apk in a thread around here about gtalk.
[Galaxy S II General] twixyz:
The Gtalk update with video and voice chat support does come with 2.3.4, I'm sure of that. There are numerous confirmations to be found on the internet.

But you guys can all stop checking and searching now ;-) because I've just found the answers!

At http://techie-buzz.com/mobile-news/...2-3-4-gingerbread-update-rolling-out-now.html is reported:

Sadly, Samsung has not included the newest version of Google talk for Android with video-chatting capabilities. This is quite surprising, considering the leaked Android 2.3.4 firmware for the Galaxy S II had Google Talk with video-chatting capabilities. Rumors are that Samsung is already working on the Android 2.3.5 firmware update for the Galaxy S II, with some minor tweaks and new features. Hopefully, Samsung will also include GTalk with video-chatting capability in the Android 2.3.5 firmware.

So in fact there is no problem with the 2.3.4 update, except for having to wait longer for the new Gtalk if you don't want to root and flash.

However I am wondering why Samsung excluded Gtalk from the update!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewide:
Hello everyone at XDA, I've just bought a Samsung Galaxy S GT i9000 from the store Mediamarket.

I want to have MIUI on my device, so I want to know exactly how to get it (how to root it, how to add cwm, add a custom rum, put miui in.. yeah everything I need).

Right now I got a stock rom, here is some info:

When i go to Settings-> About phone, i get this:

Model Number: GT-I9000
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Basband version: I9000XXJVO
Kernel version: 2.6.35.7-I9000XWJVH-CL184813

Build Info: Wed May 4 18:03:59 KST 2011

So please everyone, tell me how to put MIUI inside (so I can understand it) of this awesome phone! :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lunchbox115:
At first you have to have a Gingerbread-firmware as a base - you have that. ;)

Then you need to flash a kernel that includes CWM (just flash it with Odin, you have to put the file into the PDA-field).

Last step: copy MIUI.zip onto your internal sdcard and flash it through CWM (install zip from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard -> MIUI.zip -> Yes).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dewide:
So first step is done just by doing nothing.. awesome ;)

Do you mean I don't need to root? Can you give me a link to the kernel i should flash?

Can i flash this http://www.darkyrom.com/community/i...tion-edition-10-1-gt-i9000-only-for-now.3237/ with Odin?:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Talon26:
Well you can but that is a whole ROM not just a kernal, You can get darkcore from that website, or look at the kernals here which also has darkcore

This is a stock based kernal that i have used before, and from chainfire a v.reliable source, it should have what you need...

then flash the zip through recovery, but obviously follow the instructions from the thread you get the MIUI ROM from as it maybe be slightly different

Restore to / flash a sense rom. Make sure the voice mail works...call it, leave a message, ect. Backup the app and data with titanium backup. Flash back to your 3.5 rom and restore the voice mail app with data.

Hi

I want to extend the timeout for security lock screen.

From 10 min to maybe 10 hours.

I use password on lockscreen and don't want to type in the password

many times a day.

I just try "Delayed lock" , but it don't work on my SGS 2 with android 2.3.5

Any other programs that can extend the timeout ??

Or can I do some change in a system file to extend it ?

Since upgrading to Android Revolution HD 6.0 and now 6.1, pretty frequently (3 or 4 times a day) my phone will automatically reboot and then get stuck in a bootloop process. Taking the battery out gets it all up and running again but its pretty annoying and drains the battery when I don't know its doing it in my pocket

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

[Desire HD General] skinny-dipper:
i also facing the same problem.. have u all tried to voice out in ARHD thread?
[Desire HD General] ponk2k:
I couldn't at the time because of the ten posts required rule, by the time I'd got enough I was on a new ROM and had forgot to be honest. Plus I reckon my problem was caused by me trying to restore app data through titanium rather than a fault in the ROM itself but then again I could bee wrong... But I did try to find solutions to the problem in the forums and didn't find anything similar to my problem to no avail, not even anyone with something similar so I just moved on figuring that it was probably for the best. Worked out better for me in the end cause I got more practice flashing roms, learned not to try to batch restore apps just in case and learned the benefit of backing up your nice shiny new working ROM
[Desire HD General] mutsc0:
Happened to me once while I was on 5.2.6. It's to do with the date and time setting. Try untick "automatic" and set the time and date manually. Once you manage to shut down your phone you can retick the the automatic option
[Desire HD General] joe9002:
maybe your phone cant Handel the overclock? try flashing the script to return the CPU to default settings in the same thread you got the ROM from.

[HTC EVO 3D] mwalt2:
What's unique? I don't really see anything that hasn't been figured out here and included in many ROMs already (TrevE CIQ stuff, CRT anims, camera tweaks, etc.). Bundling a different launcher may be more unique I guess. You can also just delete any apps (assuming they aren't important ;)) you don't like from the zip before you flash.

Vaelpak has an app he created for his evo roms that had a variety of settings and options not available in other roms, perhaps this is included here.
