[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anythingbuthuman:
searched the forums and learnt what i can but need some help...

So i rooted my samsung galaxy s2 with this method: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

then reinstalled the original kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle.

Then I thought it would be best to back up everything before I mess around and i understand Rom manager could do that, so I:

Installed the app,

Selected flash clockwork mod recovery option in rom manger,

Chose backup current rom

it came up with this error:

-- Installing package...

Finding update package...

Opening update package...

Verifying update package...

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted.

So i found this thread which sometime said would fix it on some forum

http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/06...cwm-recovery-for-samsung-galaxy-s2-ii-how-to/

did what it said and installed it, went into rom manager after reboot selected backup current rom again and it froze with a yellow triangle and android guy showing. I switched it off and on again then it went through the backup process...

Have I done things correctly?

how can I get rid of the yellow Triangle again and still beable to backup?

was the freeze screen one moment away from me bricking my phone?

and finally how do I restore the back up I made if anything goes wrong, from recovery mode?

Also after these changes where made I only get a quadrant score of 2566 from 3246 have these changes affected that?

I'm looking to maybe try Lightening ROM when I get things sorted, is there anything i should know on that?

Thank you for your time.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Your links don't work... first things first don't use rom manager, second find the cf-root kernel that matches your firmware here and flash it with odin... now you have root and recovery installed.

Now if you want to backup your phone reboot into recovery by holding volume up(down is for download mode for flashing kernels) + home + power then navigate to backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anythingbuthuman:
Thanks for your reply i've updated the links...

My kernel currently says:

2.6.35.7

codeworkc@cyanogenmod #12

so very unsure of the kernel I need to have in the link you provided...

My orginal kernel was XWKF3 if thats any help?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Wait so you have cm7 installed and then you installed an original kernel? That's just messed up.

There's a kf3 kernel in that link that i posted but now i have no idea if it'll work with cm7 at all.

If you want to get rid of the triangle simply get a usb jig from ebay for a few bucks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anythingbuthuman:
Great the black colors are bk to normal on the device and I've created a new bkup with CWM...

so now say if I wanted to put: Lite'ning Rom on there.

I just install the rom how it says in the thread and if I want to get rid of it I just restore my backup?

Can I install modded rom's on top of modded rom's or is it best to just restore backup each time?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
Yes as long as you made a backup of your previous rom you can easily restore it if you don't like the new rom.

Majority of roms wipe all the data/system directories so you can install them over top of each other, if you experience some fc issues go back into cwm and wipe the data/system/cache partitions and reinstall.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anythingbuthuman:
Thank you very much all is running ok :D

Just a quick note CF-root comes with CMW manager app but its been taken off when I wiped the data and cache as the social hub was forcing to close... (fixed after wipe)

is there anyway to get this app back, I know I can still back up through recovery mode but its a brilliant app.

Hello All, i'm going to pick this phone up just wondering if anyone encountered a serious death grip issue like the other htc phones that came out. I understand most phones do have it but the sensation had major issues. The Evo 3d I had lost a few bars but never the wifi connection.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spovik:
I've noticed no signal degradation in normal use. I just tried todeath grip it and saw no change to either wifi or mobile bars.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Willieumm:
Same here. Whatever was causing it on the Sensation must be fixed because I don't have that happen at all with this. My Sensation still does it and its quite annoying.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istreva:
Hey Guys,

Can anyone tell me how can I get the swype to work on the X8, i've installed it and it runs, i select to use the keyboard BUT when it shows up and I swipe it seems to be off by a lot on the swype, like if the keys werent calibrated and adjusted to the screen swypes. Any idea on how i can get this wonderfull app running on the X8, since I had it on my Nokia 5800 this was the fastest way to text, now I can't handle the keyboard either htc nor android live up to the swyping technique!

Thanks in advance for your help.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istreva:
Thanks for the advice, I downloaded and tried this one BUT after I restarted the phone and I select the typing area the keyboard won't come up, I have to select the Android or HTC one again, I un-installed it and installed again but the keyboard swiping doesn't really work quite the same as SWYPE because it kinda releases the motion in the middle of a slide. I will try GO keyboard now just cause I rather swyping than typing.

Im looking to purchase my first android tablet but would like some help from my fellow forum users.

Im looking to spend a max of £150.

I have no definite requirements other than it have reasonable processor and ram(not lag) and be very customisable e.g themes, custom roms etc,

Can anyone point me towards some good deals??

Much appreciated,

[General Questions and Answers] mtmerrick:
there's really nothing any good under $200.

Cheapest tablets that aren't a POC are the IdeaPad A1 (Lenovo) and the Nook Color. Both are 7", medium-powered, but capable of running flash, ect jsut fine. Nook color does REQUIRE rooting/ROMing to be useful, but its really easy to do, pretty fun actually, and you can get a beautiful cyanogenmod for it. A1 is harder to find, but has dual cameras, GPS, better out-of-the-box functionality.

Expect to pay at least a hundred more for a 10".something like this

I'm almost positive that this question can be answered with common sense...but just in case:

My SD card is running low on memory and I was wondering about whether or not I can delete the ROM .zip folder from my SD card after flashing it. Or does the .zip folder need to be on the card for the ROM to boot up? Any help would be great. Thanks in advance!

Yes you can if you have already installed the zip. You can also remove nandroid backups if you have them on your computer. You can push them all back to the phone while connected and in recovery. :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johntheman:
Actually if you're using Amon Ra recovery (recommended by every dev I've seen), you can access your sd card on your pc using the "USB toggle" menu option. (Saved me once when I accidentally wiped my sd card before flashing a new rom).

Of course if you still can't access the sd using that option, then that's a hardware issue, yes?
[Nook Color General] developmentalmadness:
I rooted my nook back in May and installed Honeycomb on emmc in July. It's worked ok, but I haven't used it much since then because of general buggyness and I haven't had time to mess with it.

So today I wanted to flash CM7 so I could have a stable version on my NC. However, I just can't seem to get it to boot from the SD card.

First I tried just booting into recovery (Power + N), but nothing. Holding it down starts it up and then it shuts back down.

I've imaged a 2GB card with :

sudo dd if-2gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img of=/dev/mmcblk1p1 bs=1M

But it doesn't recognize the SD card, it just boots straight into Honeycomb.

Once it's booted it works fine for the most part, but I can't install any new apps. Since I'm missing apps like Terminal Emulator and ES File Explorer I can't get into anything.
[Nook Color General] bionicmonkey:
That ROM should have an app that comes with it called reboot recovery that should boot you into clockwork recovery
[Nook Color General] developmentalmadness:
Sorry, I forgot to mention that for some reason it doesn't have the Rom Manager or anything like it. I don't know what happened to it. When I first built it I was able to install apps and so it has the licence for the paid version on there, but the Rom Manager is missing.
[Nook Color General] developmentalmadness:
Ok, I just finished another attempt at dd and here's what I did differently:

1) I am running Ubuntu 11.04 (forgot to mention that part :S) and had the "dd" command pointed at the partion not the drive. So I was doing this:

sudo dd if-2gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img of=/dev/mmcblk1p1 bs=1M

when I should have been doing this:

sudo dd if-2gb_clockwork-3.0.2.8.img of=/dev/mmcblk0 bs=1M

I finally figured this part out by running the "gparted" gui from system tools and looking at the device name instead of the partition name

2) I don't know if this was the issue or not, but this time I was using the Monster Boot 0.7 image from here: google code project name : monster-rootpack (sorry, I tried posting the link, but the spam protection won't let me post links until I've posted at least 8 times).

I hope this helps some poor soul from what I just went thru.
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
As a porter of one of the HC roms, i would suggest abandoning the ROM. It was never fully working, really nothing more than proof of concept. Your best bet will be CM7.1, which is fully maintained, and built from source.
[Nook Color General] developmentalmadness:
Thanks, with Ice Cream Cone coming soon I think I'll skip Honeycomb and just wait until there is a stable version to upgrade.

Let LinkedIn know we desire a fully functional application like found on iOS. The integration of contact info is nice, but if you need to do things like view somebody's profile ect using the mobile site just aint right.

Similar to how we have a facebook app for additional user requirements beyond the integrated service, we need for LinkedIn.

Email them here: linkedin_support@cs.linkedin.com
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
Aren't IN+ Networking or Link 2iN already doing this? Both have a boat load of features. IN+ Networking is free and for me perfectly sufficient.
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Yah, I have IN+ right now, but I would like to see more official apps, and this is one way of making them see people want them.
[Windows Phone 7 General] derausgewanderte:
ah, ok. will email them. won't 'hurt' to get an official app from LinkedIn
[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Its mostly just for building name recognition. LinkedIn is a pretty big deal, especially to those in business. People not familiar with a platform don't know about 3rd party apps, they know if there is a "LinkedIn" app or not.

The more official apps we have the better for the platform as a whole.
[Windows Phone 7 General] RoboDad:
It's a good idea, but I wonder if it will end up like Foursquare. Yes, we have an official app (and I use it), but it is surprising how many people still prefer 4th and Mayor. But I guess having that choice is a good thing. :)

Right now IN+ fills my LinkedIn needs pretty well.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Focus4:
Official applications are going to be more likely to be downloaded, but I am not sure that LinkedIn has quite the pull as Facebook, Netflix, Angry Birds or Foursquare at this point. It also depends on who is buying the phone. First time users will make assumptions about applications and have less preconceived notions about which apps need to be available to purchase the phone.

I believe if we can get some really hot looking phones that the market share will go up and the apps will take care of themselves. LinkedIn tends to fall into that category of developer. Look at how long it took them to get an official app on the Droid (and as RoboDad suggests, DroidIn kicks the crap out of the official LinkedIn app).

[Windows Phone 7 General] dtboos:
Its a networking community for business (worlds largest professional network). Basically Facebook for Business.

You use it to make professional networking connections. This can be used for getting clients, getting jobs, maintaining your business ect.

I can't tell you how often I've obtained new client relationships, or gotten work from people seeing my connections to somebody else through LinkedIn and inquiring into my services. Many companies are using LinkedIn to search for potential employees as well.
