Just in case some of you are not familiar with it... I wanna give you the link to Samsung's opensource website. This way we can all be checking it daily for the release for our T989.

Hey, if you want we can setup a go to meeting remote session and do anything you need remotely that way you can get exactly what you need from my phone and at the same time I can learn something.

I just got my T-Mobile Galaxy S2 and have not even put the sim card in it.

If you like this idea email me at:

nery.serrano@att.net

Thanks.

Much Needed

It seems like given how much bloatware there is on the T-Mobile version, it seems like Rooting is an absolute necessity for this particular device. The Sprint version at least lets you uninstall all that crapware.

This is a BIG THANK YOU to all of those working on getting a root done for this device.

If there is anything I can do to help (I'm a bit of a n00b but I can at least try), please don't hesitate to let me know.

I didn't say that.. I said put a damn device in my hand and I've got a method which, based on previous models, has a 99% chance of success. That 1% is if UART debugging is not present.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] I_am_Error:
How would you do it? :eek: I'm really curious to hear.

But you don't have to if you don't want to.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AdamOutler:
I've been repeating this in both of these threads...

UART!

[youtube]GGrFAU1sig8[/youtube]

If that does not work, then I'd go inside the device and locate the pre-FSA9240 chip UART lines, connect to them and exploit the battery charging sequence root prompt.

btw.. that video is old. I found a method and the captivate is now a development platform :D

I totally have an Arduino board. I never thought about attempting to use it as an interface. That's slick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AdamOutler:
Are you using it or are you just stating that it's cool? I'm betting that it will take at least a few days to get the parts together.

This would already have been done if someone had USPS'd me a device on day one.

To figure out which partition the kernel is, and also as an initial "can heimdall even talk to this thing" test, someone needs to install heimdall, enter download mode, and run the following:

heimdall print-pit

And put the output here.

Preferably someone who is already familiar with heimdall. Download mode is USUALLY accessed as follows:

Turn off device

Hold VolUp + VolDn

Insert USB

I'm probably going to take mine back if it can't, too much bloody bloatware and poor app drawer
[Sony Tablet S] Vinny1967:
Bloody hell ppl,have a little patience.The tab's only been out a few weeks.Give the devs time to crack it.I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end
[Sony Tablet S] arrrghhh:
Sigh...

Questions in the general area. Development stuff in the development area. K?
[Sony Tablet S] soultics:
Bloatware? Seriously? This tablet as among the lowest actual 3rd party bloatware I've seen lately. On top of that the app drawer is one of the best features of this tablet. We clearly both bought ours for completely different reasons. If you don't like 3rd party apps, you can actually uninstall them. If you're talking about wi-fi checker and the remote...I don't know what to say.
[Sony Tablet S] Dunhamzzz:
The app drawer is pretty poor, there is no way to have the icon view in alphabetical order without manually re-ordering all the icons - only the list view which is not as efficient.

The Sony icons are ugly too, on my homescreen there are about 5 blue/purple sony icons and the rest are the nice app icons and it looks a bit odd.

This with the wi-fi bug disconnection bug is making me think I should have just gone for the galaxy tab 10.1
[Sony Tablet S] pcoulson:
Have you tried installing adw ex? changes the look and feel of the tablet including being able to remove the top bar, which gives you more room. The app drawer is fully customisable then, too. You can also change the icons for the pre-installed software. Can recommend using the fluxed adw theme.

[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] squeezyb:
So, I'm a big SWTOR nerd and I have been learning how to customize my phone. I created a high quality boot animation based off the SWTOR trailer, "Return". It features some pretty exciting light saber duels. If you find any bugs or have any suggestions let me know. It took me a long time to figure out how to create these and THIS IS MY FIRST BOOT ANIMATION so be nice. it is a pretty huge size for bootanimation.zip :o

How to install

download the bootanimation.zip attached

place bootanimation.zip in the root of your SD card

open a file browser with root access

system>customize>resource

backup and delete current bootanimation.zip (or rename "bootanimation.old)

copy and paste SWTOR bootanimation.zip

reboot and enjoy!!

THIS IS THE FILE....

Man that's one huge download for a bootanimation! Does it shoot lasers? Lol will give it a shot!
[Thunderbolt Themes and Apps] squeezyb:
yeah... its pretty big and shoots lasers. i had some trouble getting it to run, but i think i finally worked out all the kinks. i've noticed sometimes on a fresh boot the 3.0 lock screen is completely white. Just let the phone fully boot before you start pushing buttons

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExcitedLlama:
Hi all,

Great news on Cyanogen 7.1 making it's way to the Arc, the process doesn't seem quite as simple as it did back when I put Cyanogen on my HTC Hero.

Is it even possible on an Xperia Arc locked to Orange UK, has anyone had any luck?

I think I have issues around the locked bootloader. Clockword Recovery MOD doesn't list the phone, no matter what the official Cyanogen Installation instructions say and when I try to unlock the bootloader using the Sony Ericsson instructions I'm unable to progress beyond Step 10.

hxxp://unlockbootloader.sonyericsson.com/instructions - Push and hold the unlock button* on your phone at the same time as you connect the phone to the computer with a USB-cable. See the note in the bottom of the page for information on what button to hold while connecting your phone to a computer.

I believe I'm supposed to be seeing a blue LED at this point and that no blue LED means no joy for ever?

Thanks for any pointers!

Although.... if I'm using the X10 Flash Tool to flash the generic UK ROMS from the XDA site, does this mean that my bootloader is unlocked and I can put Cyanogen 7.1 on my Xperia Arc?

[Droid Pro General] tytnmaster:
I just bought a used Droid Pro, it came with Cyanogenmod 7 on it. I was having some issues with the screen coming back on after turning off the screen, so I reinstalled it. I had the same issue, so I decided to install the stock ROM. I loaded it to my SD card, tried to reboot, and went into recovery. I got a couple of errors, E: Cant open /cache/recovery/command and E:Cant open /cache/recovery/caller. The ROM wont install, and when I reboot, the phone has a black screen after the Motorola logo. My computer wont detect the phone. Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Droid Pro General] freak4dell:
I don't think you can go back to the stock ROM through CWM (at least, not without a Nandroid backup). You'll need to SBF, using a computer.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joonair:
Hey guys so I managed to upgrade my ROGERS captivate to stock 2.3.3

and succesfully rooted it. And I'm noticing lags and in general, it's slower than my older stock 2.2 with One Click Lag Fix..

I used to score almost 2k on 2.2

but now with rooted 2.3.3 I only score 1k. Is there some sort of lagfix I can do to make it less laggy and more fluid/smooth? Or should I just go back to stock 2.2 and lag fix it?:confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
No Only 2.3.3 native rom to use lag fix was Cognition 5. That was KF1.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joonair:
Uhm what does that mean? :confused: I'm kind of new.. so is that a custom ROM or something? if it is, can I flash it on a ROGERS captivate?

Any rom made for or ported to I897 would work on your I896. If you are going to move to a rom I would recommend Fasty KI2 that has Voodoo, or Fusion roms.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
No dont go back to stock. If you want flash a stock KI2 or KH3 with out bootloaders and use Boog's cwm kernel and flash fasty.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
For froyo roms ya. For Gingerbread is a whole other can of worms. If you are already on Gingerbread then just flash a kernel with cwm (not sure what gb you are on) and factory reset, wipe cache, wipe Dalvik and flash rom.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sepherian:
Read READ READ READ READ READ and read some more. If you don't know what gb bootloaders are that should at least have 15min of reading by it self. Also, read the stickies (the posts with thumbtacks) in the development section.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Rom manager is useless. You need too flash a Kernel with CWM cooked in it. With either kernel flasher (app), ODIN or Heimdall.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joonair:
T-T I poked around and read some threads.. but I'm not sure what my GB bootloaders are T-T i'll list some stuff and maybe that is the GB thing

PDA:1896UXKH2

PHONE:1896UXKH2

CSC: I896RWCKH2

T-T

so I just find any kernal with CWM and then flash it using odin?

and if i do use odin do i use .pit file?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You are on Rogers Gingerbread. You have GB bootloaders. Flash KH3 with out bootloaders found here, Then flash kernel found here (use the ODIN KH3 one). Use CWM do a factory reset, wipe cache and wipe Dalvik cache then flash Fasty or wich ever rom you like and Profit. If you going to use a Fasty with Voodoo, these kernels take a long time to boot and if voodoo is enabled you will hear chirping and take even longer.

This ins't the only way, its what I would do atleast.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joonair:
One last question. Now that I have CWM recovery, can I flash any ROM I want?

for example, I currently have Fasty 3, but can I wipe data and resest then flash Miui ROM?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
If you want to flash stock, use any stock that doesn't include bootloaders (open the .tar file with winrar and if it doesn't include boot.bin and sbl.bin it doesn't include bootloaders). Otherwise you can flash anything you feel like. Some roms have specific instructions example CM7 and MIUI have their own special instructions and to go back to i897 and i9000 romss you need to repartition your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Taking into account the fact that the Desire section does not have a subforum within the Development section for questions on Rom/Android development, and the fact that questions within the General section are generally ignored by most developers, I thought of a thread to maintain a database of devs/senior members wanting to learn Rom development/discuss dev questions..

You can add yourself to the list by specifying in the following format:

Google plus link (as a gplus.to link, not email addresses), Dev/Wannabe-dev/Experienced user/Enduser (in your own opinion)

If the dev adds you too to his/her group, you'll be able to ask questions, and get answers related to devlopment..In addition I will be maintaining a Huddle/Hangout on the basis of this list, with live chat.. Guys, use it efficiently..No flooding please! :)

Mine first, :) gplus.to/droidzone

You can even ask questions related to development on this section, but dont expect quick answers, especially dont think that I'll always be answering either!

Thread rules:

Research your question (search google and xda) before asking.

Only questions related to actual development will be entertained.

Just because devs read this thread, if you ask silly questions already answered elsewhere, we'll permanently ignore your question

This is not for questions on issues related to a particular Rom. Ask those on the ROM's thread. If you dont have permissions to post it there, start your own Q/A thread
