I'm going to chalk this one up as a "phantom mod" (something I just now made up) like the camera mods going around that offered 2mp fronts, 8mp main cams. Etc. Sure the option might be there, but that doesn't mean it was ever meant for our phone and just doesn't work.

Sure, they "unlocked" it. But our phones just aren't capable of doing it so it doesn't work.
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
Yes i did...
[HTC EVO 3D] Raignonem:
Aww man that trully sucks if u are correct sir.
[HTC EVO 3D] evilvoice:
I do agree mostly with felacio on my test. Most headphones are 2 stripes on the jack, I tested an av cable with 3 stripes (video, l, r). There is a cable on amazon that is 4 stripes that I have not tested. Until someone tests that cable out, I can not fully say that this is a phantom mod. Are we 100% sure the camera mod is not doing anything? I never really tested as I dont take pictures...i just think some mods will work in the right scenario like beats audio - not advertised, but it works - even if people say its not needed, it does work...if it didnt, we would get the same sound output whether we had it enabled or not, and it is definitely different than stock.
[HTC EVO 3D] felacio:
I made the Rever3nD Camera mod. Unlocked 2mp front, HDR, Scenes, Panoramic,and I later unlocked 8mp (never uploaded that version though). The only thing that really worked was the panorama shots. So I stopped working on it.

Beats does "work" as far as I can tell you can get the same result with DSP Manager but... Name recognition is a strong draw.
[HTC EVO 3D] evilvoice:
I agree that Beats is just a DSP setting. I don't think that it actually does more than what you can get with a good signal processor. The problem is that I don't think our phone has a good built-in processor. Also, I think it would take a good audiophile to recreate the beats feature exactly with just the DSP as I don't believe it is just increasing the bass and decreasing treble. So, while people have a problem with the name that comes with beats, it sure is easier to select that than try to get the same effect through the processor. I would love for an audio guru to figure out exactly what to set the DSP to so that we can get the same effect...maybe then we can add it as a preset instead of having it built-in to the ROM.

Thanks for clarifying the camera mod. I wasn't saying you were wrong, I just missed out on the discussion about it not working correctly. So much for having an 8mp camera. Still think taking 3d pictures is awesome, so no biggie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] frabass:
Hi everyone I'm pretty new to the whole Android world, I've read a lot of stuff through this forum and in general through the internet but I haven't got to the point of really understanding this clear.

I performed the rooting and sim unlocking following the guide on this forum, so basically I had to install the ClockworkMod Recovery.

I read that having installed a custom kernel (or rom, not clear the difference) or a custom recovery (or bootloader, like CWM in this case) voids the warranty.

I also read that is pretty simple to restore the stock kernel/firmware by simply flashing it on with Odin, but what about the Recovery?

I found this post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286432&highlight=stock+bootloader my questions are:

1. Is having the phone flashed with stock kernel (but a different than the original recovery, e.g. CWM) enough to bring the phone back in warranty conditions?

2. flashing the stock unrooted kernel following the above thread will restore also the original android recovery console?

3 if not is there a way of getting rid of CWM and restoring the original android recovery? (I read "just flash it with odin like you did with CWM, but where do I find the package (image) to flash?)

4 the stock kernel in the post seems to me "not official" in the sense that has been ripped from a user, is there any chance that we (SGHI777) will get something more official like the international kernels (GTI9001) that you can find on samfirmware?

5 this is extra, if I have a rooted GS2 (following the forum procedure so CWM+original kernel) will I be able to install official update through Kies? (I'm asking cause the unlock security flaw bugs me a lot...)

Thank you very much to everyone that will answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
On nearly all Samsung phones, recovery is a part of the kernel. Flash a new kernel, you've flashed a new recovery.

The stock kernel zImage is as official as it gets - nothing is more official than what was actually flashed into the device by the manufacturer and sold on launch day. The additional evidence that it's official is that it passes the bootloader signing checks, eliminating the "custom kernel" warning screen.

We won't see a samfirmware release until AT&T releases an update.

Stock rooted shouldn't affect OTA updates, however sometimes things you do WITH root (such as debloating) will interfere with OTAs.

Once an OTA update becomes available, expect its fixes to be integrated into ROM releases fairly soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TonyStark R.I.P.:
FYI there are three components you should know about. Kernel>ROM>Modem

The kernel It's the core/kernel of an operating system. It's main functions are to interact with the hardware a.k.a. Device Drivers, to manage resources (things like memory management and processor time sharing a.k.a. multi-tasking), service interrupt requests, network services and the like. It also provides a System Call Interface (API) to the user space (apps running on the machine) so the apps can use system resources.

Now the why so many part... First of all in general there are MANY options available when compiling (building) the kernel. Things like CPU schedulers, file system support, system type support, etc. etc. etc. So there are many different ways to configure the kernel and that gives many options to "test" and see which might work better or not. Some of them are dead giveaways like compiling the kernel for MIPS and trying to run it on the SGS2 won't work but some are "tweaks" that may help a little or a lot, like CPU management options.

Second part of the why so many is the code. Again as mentioned above things like changing code to make the colors of the display more or less sharp (display device driver), make the file system faster (voodoo lag fix) or overclocking the processor, and different "modem" tweaks are all "enhancements" that people have made to the original Linux kernel source. So those things "creep" into existence over time, since there are many people working on them, and you see different versions of the Kernel from that as well.

Anyone that plays music can relate to the options available in that there are only 12 notes on a guitar fret board but millions (or more) ways to put them together to play music. There are certain things that have to be present in the Kernel (notes) but writing code to enhance them and/or combining options at compile time is much broader (music).

The ROM. ROM is actually Random Access Memory and we flash an image to the "ROM" (which it really isn't but I'll leave that one alone). The "ROM" in this case is the operating system (a version of embedded Linux), which is the basic software needed to run and admin the phone, things like the Kernel, bootloader, device drivers, and file system plus any user apps like the phone dialer, launcher, etc. that are included in the ROM. As you can imagine the possibilities of customization are almost endless when it comes to the ROM. Different kernels, different drivers, different apps and many combinations of those.

The modem is actually part of the kernel. It's the device driver for the phone hardware. Being that it's part of the kernel it "works with" other code that's elsewhere in the kernel and ROM that is "tweaked" for a particular phone in this case. So when you see "use an i777 modem with an i777 kernel" it's because the code in the modem is written to work with the other code in the kernel. It doesn't necessarily mean it will brick the phone and/or not work but it quite often means it won't work the best if it's not "matched".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Actually the modem is NOT part of the kernel. The modem firmware runs on an entirely separate processor (not one of the main application cores.) - the RIL (Radio Interface Layer - part of the ROM) bootloads that processor by sending the modem firmware to it via a serial port when the system boots.

The baseband processor is almost never listed in a phone's specs because it's a "hidden" part of the system. Very often a device like ours will have more CPU cores than just the advertised application processor cores. For example, early Qualcomm MSM7000-series chips had two processors, one for applications and one for radio. Some people labeled these chips as "dual core" even when they really weren't - the two CPUs were completely different.

Similarly, we have two ARM Cortex-A9 cores acting as applications processors, an unknown ARM core doing radio work (much simpler, slower, and power-efficient than the two A9s), and possibly another application-specific ARM core hidden in the GPS chipset. Maybe more.

[Motorola Droid X2] caesus:
I'm about to be a refugee from the Droid Charge to a new phone due to the problems with the data/voice signal dropouts.

The VZW rep offered me the LG Revo or the Droid X2.

You guys own the phone, does it beat out the Revo?
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
Pros: Eclipse ROM! It's the only reason I still have this phone.

Cons: Locked bootloader; pentile display; not very durable (in my experience); video recorder skips/pauses; music will skip w/out modifications or sbf 2.3.4; 2.3.4 sbf reports inaccurate battery readings after you reboot..what's your other option? :/
[Motorola Droid X2] billmcg:
Well, since the latest update, Moto has made significant improvement to the X2 - (in my opinion) and with some tweaking, mods and a rom, (Eclipse) my X2 is running AWESOME...finally

looking at some specs for the LG Revo

- it's on 2.2 Froyo - X2 has 2.3.4 Gingerbread available - I would say goes to X2

- single core Snapdragon MSM8655 1GHz processor - X2 is on 1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 - I would say goes to X2

- Revo has 4.3-inch 480 x 800 - X2 has qHD 540x960 - I would say goes to X2

- Revo has 1.3 front facing camera - X2 does not

- Revo has 4G lte - X2 is only 3G

- Revo - 5-megapixel camera - X2 has an 8 megapixel camera

- Revo comes with Bing:( - X2 has Google:)

Performance wise

Smartbench -1274 Revo - 2869 X2 - more than double the performance

Quadrant - 2036 Revo - 2680 X2 - Quadrant scores not the best to rate X2 - but still better

I could go on with the performance benchmarking but the X2 is clearly a much higher performance device with a dual core processor.

So...if front facing camera and 4gLTE are somewhat important to ya, you would have to go with the LG

But if neither of those things are important - my opinion, the X2 with the latest update is the winner hands down, and if you can do some tweaking and modding, there is no doubt X2 takes it.
[Motorola Droid X2] X0dus:
I've never owned the Revo so i'm not qualified to judge it... My fascinate w/ 1GHz single core, 5mp cam, OC Kernel and CM7, EF, or ComRom smoked the x2. If I had to pay for this x2 I'd feel ripped off. Honestly, I'd tell VZW to offer

you a Bionic or your services go elsewhere. That Revo, based on specs, doesn't compare to the Charge specs, does it? Either way you go, it's a downgrade, really..
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Eclipse exists for the charge. Nitro is a charge dev :) keep the charge. The 2.3.5 update supposedly is awesome, it's unlocked, you have custom kernels.

just flash a stock ruu thru hboot and you'll be fine

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1175506

1st download the ruu from web page and make sure its on the root of sdcard

2nd rename the file you just downloaded to PG05IMG.zip if your doing it from windows 7 make its not renamed PG05IMG.zip.zip

3rd power off your phone and the hold power and the volume down button and you'll boot in boot loader and hit the power button once more till its in hboot if you named the file correctly your phone will find it and load up to flash and your good to go, like you just bought it

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
I seem to have a problem with replacing smaller icons in .apk files and getting them to display correctly.

for example i was trying to turn the power savings bar (quick shortcuts widget) blue instead of green. i can replace the colors in settings.apk/res/drawable-hdpi with no problem and it does change the color but i can't seem to keep the icon smooth.

using photoshop cs2 if i replace color and save with no other changes the icon is not nearly as crisp.

larger program icons are no problem and seem to look very good.

but smaller icons for the buttons such as the screen timeout icons end up slightly blurred compared to the original. this happens even if i select the blank areas first and invert and create a new layer.

im sure it's something stupid a setting ect. im missing but if anyone has an idea id be appreciative.

only seems to happen or be noticeable with the smaller 47 x 47 icons.

doesn't seem to happen on even the 48 x 48 icons or larger.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mjcollum:
Hmmmmm seems i found a fix. its a little more work but creating my own larger icon and rescaling down to the smaller size seems to work quite well.

a little more work but at least i get the effect i wanted.

still would like to know if anyone has an ez way to just recolor an image.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goister:
Hi

I'm wondering how certain Android handsets such as the Moto Droid Pro/Atrix 4G, Samsung Epic do device/sdcard encryption? AFAIK only Honeycomb supports this, and these phones only have Froyo/Gingerbread. The only app I know that does device encryption is WhisperCore, and that only supports The Nexus S. So, is it an Android OS/framework modification?
