[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] soccer450:
First off, I feel bad that with how much I have learned from the wonderful users of XDA my first post will not contribute back in that same manner.

I work at a certain wireless retailer and was excited to know that the Galaxy S II was going to be in stock which coincided nicely with an available upgrade. On Tuesday I purchased one and did the normal new Android phone process. Unbox, heed AT&T's warning to not text and drive, insert battery, etc. When it reached the home screen everything looked like an Android phone on first boot except the wallpaper. It was an Android on a skateboard encircled by an arrow made to appear to be painted on a brick wall. The same wallpaper I used on my backflip running a ROM posted by J-Rod. I will point out we have

not

had any returns.

I showed it to the rep that was ringing me out and my GF who was with, then removed the wallpaper and set a default background. When I went to change it back the CM based wallpaper was not an option and no where to be found using (limited?) default file explorer.

I have not had time to look further due to school but was wondering if anyone had this happen to them (Nothing turned up with Google and XDA's search). Or know if that logo/wallpaper is not related to CM and I should just ignore the fact that it was on my phone? I started watching unboxing videos and only ever saw a SGS2 with a blue background.

I just do not like thinking that someone messed with the phone before it was even sold. Though I do like the phone and will be a nice change from the iPhone 4 that was my daily driver for the past year.

Your wallpaper was saved to your google account, and when you signed in with it in the initial setup it loaded your wallpaper.

Wow. I'm impressed. The sky is the limit for you. The way you conduct yourself on these forums is incredibly professional, responsible and void of any childish behavior that people twice your age get wrapped up in.

Thanks and keep up the great work! I look forward to the rest of the guide. Every couple of years I get an install of Linux going to play around with; I think I've just found a reason to try it out again!

Doesnt seem to be working... It w

Says it cant find /home/dean/kernel/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-gcc

When i run build.sh..

The .tar shows up on my dekstop but there is nothing there... Ive tried redownloading... Idk whats wrong... Ive follwed all directions and read them over like 25 times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Make sure you extracted the contents to your home folder.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
I did

The folder kernel and the file build.sh are in my home folder
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Exactly what the terminal says-

make /home/dean/kernel/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0/bin/arm-eabi-gcc: command not found

...and then it runs some stuff and repeats that a couple times.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deano0714:
Am i suposed to be on a 32bit ubuntu? Im on 64bit because i heard you had to be to compile a gingerbread rom from source..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bubby323:
Either 32 or 64 bit Ubuntu should be ok for what we are trying to do.

I would go ahead and make sure that the toolchain is there, under /home/dean/kernel/toolchain/arm-eabi-4.4.0. If it is then you should be able to compile correctly.

I've also attached the build.sh script you can download to make sure your download of that isn't bad as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] spdwiz18:
to be honest Linux and i are not best friends. so please bare with me and the noobishness. I got this error while extrating to the home folder

checkdir error: /home/spdwiz18/kernel/source/SPH-D710/drivers/media/video/samsung/ump/arch exists but is not directory

unable to process kernel/source/SPH-D710/drivers/media/video/samsung/ump/arch/config.h.

unable to process kernel/source/SPH-D710/drivers/media/video/samsung/mali/arch/config.h.

not sure if it is important or not but it seems the files were extracted fine.

edit: Ran build.sh.... no errors and got .Tar on desktop as expected. thank you
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Entropy512:
I'd strongly suggest rewriting your tutorial to use git and not a gigantic zip, otherwise it'll lead to fragmentation on a grand scale.

Github is your friend.

This reminds me, I need to update the README for my kernel repo... The documentation is a bit crappy at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] zedomax:
Make sure you have ia32-libs installed otherwise you will get that error, do this for ubuntu:

apt-get install ia32-libs

No 32-bit code/files will run without that, it's like they don't exist and you get these horrifying errors that drive you crazy for hours (what happened to me).

If I am right, I AM GENIUS, if I am not, I AM DUMB!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] liquidhaste:
Im pretty sure bubby got banned. Or at least left on his own. Not sure how it all went down.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] justlovejoy:
this is an excellent beginners guide to it all and the same things are applied across the Android platform as a whole when building from source I have read a lot but have yet to compile my own. You can follow basically any of the other tutorials but except when it asks you too do something device specific just replace with our phones content for the most part but you will come across some things that are damn near propriety with some phones but that stuff comes after this like porting and cannot be substituted with anything else other than which is pointless to say but, The other sgs2 devices would be closest to the truth for our phones or even galaxy s devices, so I would make those boards my next place of search for potentially good guides. even following certain irc channels and members twitter pages can provide a huge amount of light. Don't forget Android has a glossary on the Dev website. As long as I've been a member here I will be creating something ROMish soon for the first time, just waiting on income tax to support my early Dev hood foundation. This is already copied and posted to my Google docs for reference.

Two thumbs up to the OP for this one, expect an email.

search github for unpack.sh and CM wiki has a guide with the tools to do the job also. There is another thread, by sweetwaterburns, that many have followed, made good kernels, and learned a lot. I lost all my data yesterday so I'm in the recovery process right now. IRC is the best and fastest way to get help and learn. Try irc.freenode.net #ics-e4gt-dev for this device specifically.

[Motorola Droid 3] Dmw017:
Froze the motorola.blur.home (motoblur home launcher) app after rooting my D3 a long time ago. Now im trying to defrost it but good old titanium backup (pro) says the app has been uninstalled because the app is at the bottom of the list doth its name crossed out. Anyways at this point I can only use the restore function but titanium backup just hangs and I have to fc it, probably becuz the app is in the system/app folder, I don't know.

I checked the folder with root explorer and the app is still in the folder, just presumably still frozen.

How can I get back the MOTOBLUR home (yes it sucks I know, I wont be using it)

Divide by zero, I dare you...

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Doubtful. No kernel source yet.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Looks like someone figured out how to do what I broke my CWM trying to figure out.

I have an hour before I have to leave for work, got up early today, so i'm going to re-install CWM now instead of waiting for the weekend to start over.

If someone else can do it, dammit, I can too.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] _atlien_:
How is CWM the key? You can flash an OC kernel without source kernel for base?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
cwm isn't the key, as much as collateral damage. I just re-installed cwm and wiped my phone this morning, all good now.

I'll crack this nut, or brick my phone trying.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
What are you trying to run that you need this phone to be faster? Why overclocking with a phone this fast?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Mattix724:
You can fastboot an overclock module if it's built right. For all you know an internal developer has access to the source and with the right skills could easily do it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Please don't break your phone, we need you.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Undeadk9:
Just wait For kernel source. No point causing damage.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
Yea, you guys are right...it's not worth bricking the phone over.

I just get into these modes where I latch onto one issue and hound it until I solve it, and the longer it takes, the more committed I become.

Sometimes you just have to take a step back and glance at the big picture, to see if this part of it is worth the attention it's being given - and in this case it's a pretty clear no vote.

Thanks to everyone who posted and forced me to get some perspective.

I could've solved or made progress on quite a few things on my to-do list in the amount of time I wasted on this one issue.

"What forest...all I see are trees."

It does rub me raw that i'm going to walk away from it, it is so counter to the way I do things. When it get's harder, I try harder, exponentially. Failure is usually just flat out not an option. It's not that i've failed, just that I haven't succeeded yet. It's not over until you give up...and it's been a long time since that's happened with me (on anything, not just computers)

I really believe that no problem can stay a problem with the right investment of time, attention, and effort. Whether you have to learn something, or learn something to understand what you're trying to learn...if there's a will there really is a way (but only if you are determined enough to find it)

In the larger sense, this is good though. I'm so used to just going on until it's finished, that i'm not used to dealing with giving up. Suppose it'll humble me a bit, which is never a bad thing.

( for the record, I don't even want to overclock my phone. I'm quite content with it underclocked to 1.2 - I just wanted to do it to figure out how...I love puzzles, especially the ones that you come up with your own way to solve. )
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] ekoee:
Lol you don't have to stop solving, I'm glad we have devs like you and undead here; seriously though, just don't break your phone.

I don't think its worth it if you're gonna end up breaking 500 bucks.

Plus I heard: in soviet russia, phones overclock you.

I have no idea why TMO wasted their time with this. They already have a good MT4G and MT4G Slide.

Go figure. Watch us get this and no Nexus Prime. Boy will I be pissed.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
I don't think these are wannabes. They are the real deal. From what I heard, htc droppes the mytouch line and lg picked it up.

To me, its the end of a great phone.
[myTouch 4G General] neidlinger:
Couldn't agree more. I wonder if it has anything to do with the eMMC chips failing on these phones. And T-mobile wants a different manufacture
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
wow now mytouch is gonna suck...

why tmobile why?? :confused::confused:
[myTouch 4G General] biggd7419:
To many problems. LG bought the line. Because the success or lack there of to my belief of the g2x. Just seeing what they can do.
[myTouch 4G General] smatthew45:
wow this is a pretty damn interesting move by tmobile, good thing im done with the mytouch line and now looking forward to the upcoming htc amaze or possibly even the new samsung nexus prime if that drops on tmobile lol :D
[myTouch 4G General] Dragonswithin:
I must have got lucky because I have had zero problems with my phone. I even slammed it in the back hatch of my car right on the screen with the latch and all it did was rip the screen protector. I have been flash happy with it from day one changed the radio countless times. I test every ROM that I can find (some of them so bad I'm lucky it still works) and never one problem with the phone. I agree the new LG phones look kinda cheap I don't think they could take the beating I have done to this thing. I'm going to stay with HTC if a 4 year old a 2 year old and myself can't break this phone they did something very right.
[myTouch 4G General] marseillesw:
+1 i've had my phone since February, have the bad chip and and good screen, have flashed roms and radios like a crack flasher and have had no problems..not to mention, my screen protector came off a month ago and still not a single scratch on the screen. This phone is rock solid and I hope the next phones in the mytouch line continue to be the quality devices that they have been thus far
[myTouch 4G General] theorogelio:
I bought my HD2 at a pawnshop. So far so good after countless flashes. I have been on a month to month with Tmobile for almost a year now.
[myTouch 4G General] SamuraiHicks:
Same here. My mt4g hasn't let me down in one single way. And I think Ive flashed almost every rom on xda.
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
lol i don't even HAVE a screen protector, and i still don't have any scratches on. this phone sure is beast, no LG crap can best it.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
Rumors say that HTC AMAZE is a successor to HTC's myTouch line.

I will never buy LG product personally.
[myTouch 4G General] coupetastic-droid:
That phone looks awesome. If I had an upgrade, I would've picked it up when it comes out.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
Got to play with the amaze today while in a T-Mobile store. Its nothing that special. Build quality seemed nice and screen was good but overall wasn't too impressed. Ran quadrent side by side with my phone. The amaze got 2200 something while my mytouch did 2400 something without being over clocked. Although, the amaze did have about 12 megs down and 3 up which is nice. Sense 3.5 was kinda cool too but like I said nothing too spectacular.

One thing tho, it was fun showing the rep how I could hit 3400 on quadrant with fauxs kernel oc'd to 1904 MHz ( or whatever that setting is.
[myTouch 4G General] bmakk2055:
It sucks
[myTouch 4G General] smatthew45:
im almost 100% certain the htc amaze ships with sense 3.0, says so on their website...

and also keep in mind the amaze was 100% stock, and yours was modified, so imagine the potential of a phone with not only a faster processor, but dual core, and 256mb more ram, just saying...
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
3.0 then and whatever, didn't say it wasn't nice just that it wasn't anything spectacular .... just saying!
[myTouch 4G General] B777Forever:
LG?

Yuck.
[myTouch 4G General] AntonJart:
I think HTC Failing big time with Sensation, Amaze, and few other.

They got to step up the game! qHD display is already history. Build quality stays the same, which is big no. eMMC ships used in Sensation the same, arent they?
[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
i know right?

[myTouch 4G General] saranhai:
LOL NOPE!!!

HTC OWNS ALL. :D

IMO haha
[myTouch 4G General] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Used to think that too, actually still do.
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
HTC got to where it was by being the best, that hasn't changed. Although what has changed, is Samsung catching up especially with the prime. Sam did suck but they recognized it a changed considerably
[myTouch 4G General] smatthew45:
ya i agree, while i love htc and think its the best, i cant deny samsung makes some of the best screens out there, if only we could combine the two... lol :p
[myTouch 4G General] mark manning:
+1000
[myTouch 4G General] amdViper:
Don't like the looks of the LG MT nearly as well. Besides, LG is inferior to HTC imo. Would love to have the Amaze. But I'm not eligible for an upgrade for about a year and a half, as I just got my MT4G a little over a month ago. Really not an issue as I love this phone.
[myTouch 4G General] roush427rr:
Coming from a Galaxy S 4g to the mytouch 4g, i have to say without a doubt i miss the screen on my Galaxy. But as far as overall use of the phone, i am much happier with the HTC. Kinda disappointed that this is going to be the next iteration of the mytouch.

Know i havnt posted much but thats just my .02 and all.
