[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balavj:
I have tried so many times flashing VillainRom / LeoMar75 Revolution ROM similar to what I did for Cognition S2...

None of them work fine...

After CWM says Installation is successful, when I reboot, I could see only Stock OS... The only changes I can see is Samsung apps uninstalled and under About Phone in settings, I could see correct kernel/Build details of VillainRom/Revolution ROM... But why I could not see CWM/superuser app / Custom ROM changes like Notification tweak/ Lock button tweak/ changed theme...

I do full wipe before flashing... I flashed CF Root kernel and then switched off phone... Booted into recovery... Flashed Rom.zip thru CWM...

Everything is fine when I flash Cognition S2... Why other custom ROM not working properly...

Please help...

Samsung Galaxy S2

*Cognition S2 1.5.1*

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycfc:
If you are coming from Cognition, just do a full wipe and flash the other custom ROM after that. There is no need to flash CF-Root before hand.

Hope thia helps.

Enter ClockWorkMod recovery:

1. Wipe Data/Cache Factory reset

2. Wipe Cache

3. Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache

4. Mount/Storage -> Format System

5. Flash Revolution/Villain or any custom rom you want

6. Reboot to System
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balavj:
Everytime... I am following the steps only... But Only Cognition S2 works... The other ROMS which I tried were VillainROM 2.5.1, VillainRom 3.0, LeoMar75(KI3) installed fine but I could not see any changes in UI/ notification/ Lock options...

I just want to know whether VillainROM 2.5.1, VillainRom 3.0, LeoMar75(KI3) have stock ROM UI with only internal changes and no UI/ notification/ Lock options changes...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you are having rom problems .

total wipe of phone and sd card .

install stock rom

install root and cwm

follow custom rom instructions to flash .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rembrandtlnx:
yes, they look like stock with tweaks. Dont expect a totally.different rom. Miui is totally different.. But tw based roms looks like the stock with superuser, and tweaks mostly hidden.

I can suggest to try batista70 foxhoud 2.0, the rom comes with a blue theme, if after you flash this you still have stock (green color) rom, then yes, something is wrong.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonycfc:
Oh I think I get what you mean right now. Most of the ROMs have under the hood changes. Changes that the end user won't be able to see but maybe notice.

If you are looking for themes you can always flash those available in the themes and apps section though! CM7 has quite a different Android experience and theme to it, you might want to try that! :)

However, when an event reminder appears in my notification bar and I choose to edit this, I get the stock event editor, which I don't want. Does anyone know how to change this to my calendar pad pro editor ?

Hi guys. I flashed a new baseband for my Optimus 2x. After that, I wanted to restore my backup and I get a MD5 Mismatch. How come? I didn't rename my backup or changed the recovery. Nothing! :confused:
[LG Optimus 2x] xilw3r:
hey, i had this not so long ago, its nothing more than a bad nandroid backup, nothing will fix it, you gotta reflash another backup or start over (i started over cuz other backups were too old)
[LG Optimus 2x] Egan:
You may be able to solve it with these steps:

1. Go to the directory of the backup.

2. Delete nandroid.md5

3. Recreate nandroid.md5 of all images with 'md5sum'.
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
This will allow you to flash a corrupt image, and is therefore not recommended
[LG Optimus 2x] Imperticus:
I got one just today, really annoying..

@kiljaken any idea why it happens, or how it can be avoided?
[LG Optimus 2x] kiljacken:
Not really no. All it takes is one changed bit in either file
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
My guess is you renamed the folder with a space, if so, try without it, if not then recreate the md5 as mentioned the MD5 with md5sum * > nandroid.md5
[LG Optimus 2x] afpapa:
I always have this issue when I make the back up through Rom Manager. So I always make it now in clockwork recovery mode.
[LG Optimus 2x] ghadap:
Works!!! Thank you..

1) rename folder (no spaces)

2) inside the folder, type "rm nandroid.md5"

I really want to know the answer...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derausgewanderte:
people who are insistent will be ignored, that's a lesson of life. if nobody answers then there is likely no answer. I suggest to be more patient. If you want to change the background of the UI there is no such thing at the moment. You can change your start screen, that's it.

Furthermore, the title of your subject has little to do with your question. I suggest you choose a title that reflects the question you have, e.g. No customizable wallpaper for WP7 UI? Now that is something I can quickly reply to and I don't even have to go into the thread to find out what this is all about.

Nobody wants to read "something about wallpaper". That's why there are no people reading your post.

There may be hacks that will allow you to do that in the future, ala Schaps TouchExperience.

Id like to believe that but using a 3.0 lockscreen on 3.5 results in a blackscreen same result as if the permissions were incorrect.

Hi guys/girls,

I picked up an I777 SGS II the other day and decided to extend my development of the SGS boot screen MOD to it and was able to port it the same day as not much has changed in the way the param.lfs operates. I know this works just fine on the AT&T I777 SGS II in which the param.lfs calls for logo_att.jpg but if it fails, you can always re-flash a stock param.lfs to restore the boot screen which I have also included. I have written this for (I897, I9000, T959, T959V, I9100 and now I777). Per XDA's rules, I'll just attach the RAR package as an upload at the bottom of this post.

If you appreciate my work, just tap THANKS, SUBMIT THIS TO PORTAL or DONATE me a drink or two if you are feeling generous. Here is the read me in case you don't want to open it with an additional text editor:

Thanks to Entropy512 for the stock param.lfs dump...

To change logo again, repeat the whole process!
=========================================================

| 1. Open Odin	|
| 2. Boot Phone into Download Mode	|
| 3. In Odin PDA select "SGS2_custom_param_lfs.tar"	|
| 4. Click Start	|
| 5. Reboot from recovery...	|
| You will have a logo draw fail! DONT WORRY!	|
| 6. Rename the Picture you want to use to " logo.jpg "	|
| 7. Run "MobileTV_SGS2_BootScreen.bat" from PC, follow |

| 8. Reboot and Enjoy!	|
=========================================================

NOTE about custom images!
480 x 800 and UNDER 100 kB

REMEMBER, THIS SCRIPT INSTALLS THE LATEST BUSYBOX INSTALLER, THIS MEANS IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE BUSYBOX INSTALLED, YOU MUST OPEN THAT INSTALLER AND ACTUALLY INSTALL BUSYBOX. IT INSTALLS AN APK TO USE TO INSTALL BUSYBOX, IT DOES NOT ACTUALLY INSTALL BUSYBOX ITSELF DURING THE SCRIPT.

ONLY USE THE LATEST BUSYBOX BY STERICSON TO ENSURE THIS WORKS BEST. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO USE THE SCRIPT FOR THE LATEST VERSION, BE SURE TO DOWNLOAD THE LATEST FREE INSTALLER OR DONATE VERSION IN THE MARKET BY STERICSON.

If the script doesn't work for you, it should if you have ADB installed, a rooted device plus the latest BusyBox (no offense but it's user error otherwise) just use root explorer to paste your logo_att.jpg in /mnt/.lfs AFTER running the custom param file via ODIN.

I'll get a video up for this model soon on how to do this without any product placement so it's XDA approved.

It changes logo_att.jpg to be writeable in this case for the I777. But yes I've removed the file via hex-editing which is the only way to allow for a new one to go in it's place. Fortunately for us Samsung has not changed anything since I discovered this loophole way back in the Captivate days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] connexion2005:
That's correct... ;) The first one you see when powering on. I refer to the other one as the boot animation. For reference the kernel screen is only in between the boot screen and the boot animation is only changeable during a compilation of the kernel. This tutorial would be way to involved which is why I never made it.

So con I flash in Odin and what is the splash screen pic? ? ( just wanna know and what slot PDA?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I think there are a number of hidden under-the-hood changes - NFC is not the only one.

If you've opened the device up - Is there an Si7409 (FM chip) or not? If not, I'll give up on trying to probe for it.

Another difference is that even though the MAX8997 PMIC Samsung uses in our phone has a battery charger, in the I777, Samsung has offloaded charging to a separate chip (MAX8922). Which means we don't get all of the charge current control hacks available to the I9100 unless there's some way to restore control to the 8997. (not likely)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] connexion2005:
I have opened up to begin research, documentation and produce repair possibilities for JTAG. At the time I was ONLY looking for JTAG interfacing though so I didn't pay any other attention. I put it back together but I'll check again when I'm done and maybe make a tear down thread with detailed pics for people to download and zoom in on.

EDIT: One good thing is that most of the internal hardware are interchangeable (flex cable assemblies and what not). I'm also going to see if the front housing w/ lcd and center button from the I9100 swaps over to it to allow use with I9100 roms. I know the ROM's load and run fine they just don't have the correct button mapping obviously. I personally like my i9100 much better with the center button than the i777... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] connexion2005:
Read the OP. You pic whatever one you want. I've included 3 in the base package but literally you can put whatever you want to name logo.jpg in the folder you run the batch script from. I advise less than 100KB in size although that's been dis-proven in the past anyhow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hkeyman:
No-Go...

I have tried three times and no go...I am getting everything to work perfectly but no image is producing. I have tried one of your logos and got the same results. Following the OP to the 'T' (I know you have heard that all to often...But this time its true) I'm not getting any error or failings to occur. Image is copying to the sdcard root but it seems its not passing it to the blank .lfs portion of the phone.

Is the file for the logo supposed to be logo.jpg or logo_att.jpg? Here is the excerpt from your script.

echo Preparing to copy new boot screen...

adb shell su -c "busybox cp -r /mnt/sdcard/logo.jpg /mnt/.lfs/logo_att.jpg"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LamboDroid19:
Same for me...could it be that since some of us might me using Codeworkx's kernel it it actually using logo.jpg instead of logo_att.jpg and the custom .lfs is for stock kernel? Anybody else have any ideas why it is not working for some.

For those of you that it worked for are you using stock kernel or Codeworkx's?

Edit: I'm going to flash a different kernel then try again and see if it works. I will let y'all know if it is possibly Codeworkx's kernel.

Edit2: Ok I just try Entropy's kernel and that did not work either. Any clues what is going on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
logo_att.jpg is only displayed when the bootloader thinks you're on a stock kernel.

Otherwise, logo.jpg is displayed. That's why the ! screen also says I9100.

To get logo_att.jpg to display, you need to:

1) Once rooted, flash stock kernel

2) Flash your custom kernels on-device going forward, either

a) via CWM

b) via the following ADB commands

adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hkeyman:
So are you saying then this bootscreen method will only work on a stock only kernel? Any of the daily's and modified kernels will not work with the mod.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Only if the last thing you flashed with Odin/Heimdall is the stock kernel. The bootloader only thinks you're on a non-stock kernel if the last thing you flashed with it was non-stock. It doesn't check what's currently there if it was flashed with another method.

The ! warning and custom binary counter only get triggered when you flash a custom kernel in download mode.

So if you're rooted and running the stock kernel, you can flash a CWM-enabled kernel using the ADB instructions I posted above. Once you have a CWM-enabled kernel, you can flash in CWM without triggering the ! warning.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] connexion2005:
To anyone having issues, try the SGS II I9100 port I made a while back. This will write to the logo.jpg zone instead of the logo_att.jpg zone which is perhaps the error some of you are seeing. It's all about what the kernel calls for when requesting the logo. If it's a kernel built on I777 source, it will call for logo_att.jpg, if it's I9100 source, it will call for logo.jpg.
