[General Questions and Answers] CroniXatoR:
Hello everybody,

I am completedly new to flashing roms and all that stuff, but in the last few days I have read a lot and introduced myself to Linux. Finally I tried to install froyo beta2 on Samsung Omnia 2. I think its installed correctly but however it crashed on every boot. The problem is different people always say different things, so here is the "How To" which I used:

###########################################

Step by step for other users..for manual installation [on SDCARD 8GB]

1. Format SD Card, both partitions as primary,

partition 1:Fat32:SDCARD

partition 2:Ext4:system

2. Mount SD Card under Ubuntu, got 2 partitions as mentioned by 1.

3. Copy ext4.tar.gz to /media/system

Unpack files from ext4.tar.gz in system with Terminal:

cd /media/system

sudo tar zxvf ext4.tar.gz -C /media/system

4. Copy haret.exe, zImage and startup.txt to the SD card

5. In startup.txt: root=/dev/mmcblk0p2, must be used because the 2nd partition redirects to your system.

6. Reboot or place sdcard back in phone and turn on the phone.

Run haret.exe from SDcard and Android will boot (it's normal that first screen is pink - just wait)

7. The Pink Screen will eventually go away and Android sign will appear..

######################################

I have found this post here in this forum, but I was not able to reply because I am "a new user", so I opened a new thread here.

Anyways I did that way and even the readme of froyobeta2 says pretty much the same.

Now my issue:

I got the Android Logo, and it's shining from left to right, but after a few seconds of shining, it suddenly stops and seems to crash, so there is no answer and I have to reinsert the battery to boot up windows mobile again.

I already tried the autoinstaller (maybe about 10-15 times^^), also no success, it always stucked at the pink screen and I had to reinsert the battery to switch it on again. So finally I have no more ideas what to do, maybe it's just that my mobile phone does not want any android ;D ; but however if you know anything I could try, then please let me know!

Cheers guys,

CroniXatoR
[General Questions and Answers] CroniXatoR:
Solved the problem :)

Sooo guys I finally solved the problem.

Here my review:

Installation was correct, and boot startup.txt as well. My Mobile Phone was the problem, I dont know why, perhaps some apps from samsung app store fixed my phone somehow, but I resetted the complete phone and installed froyo beta2 again. Now it is working perfectly.

For all those of you, if the Android Sign pops out and shines your install should be correctly and your startup.txt as well (otherwise Android Sign wouldnt show up)! So the problem is your mobile phone or your usb-connection then... just try to reset the phone in windows mobile under settings... then it should all work!

I am in, finally! Thanks to all developers, great job!
[HTC Incredible S] latifk:
I have flashed CM7 on my incredible S last night. Now sometimes I get a text from my girlfriend or friends saying they called me but my phone never rings. This doesn't always happen, only sometimes... other times I can still get calls.

Does anybody know what the problem could be and why it is not working properly. I also placed a call once and it never went through or rang.

Thanks in advance,

Latif
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
I have the same problem. I thought that it might be from phone having low battery (I made a thread about it here) but I tested it and it seems random (my phone was at 5% and received a call fine).

People will tell me they've called me a bunch of times and the phone acted like it was off, but I had full service.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
So far I'm using CM 7.1 with tiamat 1.1.4 as my kernel.

No problems so far. Maybe it might be ur radio being incompatible. For calls / signals etc is highly possible that it has something to do with your radio.

I'm currently testing out my CM 7.1 with tiamat 1.1.4 as my kernel because it was said to have about 2 days battery usage. If that's the case , I'm going to stick with CM7 and ignore other ROMS. But nonetheless, I miss my sense interface(looks more professional) and many things from sense which is good.

Just that I dislike sense because it is far way too battery consuming.
[HTC Incredible S] weaselEST:
I had the same problem with Tiamat kernel 1.1.4. Restored to cm kernel and it working ok.
[HTC Incredible S] key2gb:
I flashed 7.1 using ROM Manager so I'm using the recommended settings (actually upgraded from RC-1, but had same issue with RC-1). I thought it might be radio but not sure. I'm interested to know for you since you're in SG as well, maybe it's a Radio/location thing.
[HTC Incredible S] Luck515:
My tips are that : do a clean wipe using ClockWorkMod.

And install the CM 7.1 >> Gapps (Google Apps) and then flash tiamat 1.1.4.

Do not use titanium backup or other file manager to restore the layout of your previous Rom whatsoever because your previous ROM might be based on Sense , and restoring sense stuffs into CM7 (a non sense ROM ) , might face some problems.

So far I've been trying very hard to flash CM7 and finally I got it done this morning at 1/2am..

Do try it out and if you have any problems share it out. I'll be glad to assist you based on my flashing experience.
[HTC Incredible S] incrediblealex:
I dont know but it also happened to me and I just got rid of the country code on the front of the number and it now works.
[HTC Incredible S] tcardozo:
I've had CM7 (newest release) up and running on my phone for 24 hours now and this has yet to happen to me. Received many (and all) call so far
[HTC Incredible S] Raithmir:
I'd try the latest radio. With the previous one I'd occasionally had people tell me they couldn't ring me.

I would occasionally notice on the previous radio that my phone would display no signal even though it's an area with full signal. Only been using the latest radio for a few days but no such issue so far. This radio is also supposedly a fix for the delayed SMS messages that some people had experienced.

Which launcher has the best performance, least battery drain in your guy's opinions? Looking at launcher pro, and go launcher ex, just curious sorry if it has been asked a million times. I searched but found nothing specifically about performance and battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
No launcher is going to seriously effect performance or battery life in a noticeable way. Use the one you like.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
kinda been a stock launcher guy but after seeing some pic in another thread they look real classy, i just don't want anything too crazy or laggy :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] silverwind:
I like Launcher Pro... performance is good, but I dont see any difference in terms of battery use...
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
good to know :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Unless there is a problem with the way the launcher manages memory or handles CPU with widgets/animations, it wont be any (noticeable amount) different than the stock launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Been using launcher pro for months now, love it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Ditamae:
I've used LauncherPro Plus for years. It's my absolute favorite and I've tried them all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] redpoint73:
Both Launcher Pro and GO Launcher are speedy and smooth, and aren't going to affect battery life to any noticeable degree. You'd probably see more effect on battery life by turning down your screen brightness by 2%.

Both launchers you asked about have free versions, so just try them out, and see which interface/features you like better. That will probably be more of a decision maker than performance/battery life.
[G2 and Desire Z General] speedsys:
On my x10 mini pro, adw lagged somewhat on the gingerbread roms....but launcher pro was awsome...it was the default launcher on one of the gingerbread roms and I was really surprised to know that the free version gave such a quality perfomance...since then ive been using launcher pro...by buyin the plus version you also get to use the launcherpro widgets...and they're pretty cool...but one could do without it....

One con and the only one that I am facing is that...when I first boot..it doesnt respong i.e it takes some time to respond..as in even foo changing screens...i usually force close it the first time and then it runs like the wind !!

My final verdict would be to try launcher pro and go launcher....see which suits you the best...the menu and operating style..

P.S: one more thing I lovee and I mean love like hell bout launcher pro is that it loops the wallpapers i.e if you reach the last screen and swoop out in the same direction, it continues on to the first screen and doesnt jump to it as in adw....if you dont get it, try the launcher...you yourself would know!

Welcome to the android Xperience :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] tvdang7:
I've switched from adw ex to go launcher wrote much more smoother less freezing. I also love the widgets and themes they have and is all free.

Who cares if something looks like something else. Its about quality and functionality and a knock -off is never that.

What benefit is having a piece of technical equipment that looks like another, but doesn't function the same? Its not like a fake watch or handbag, which I dont understand either, but this is even less understandable.

Hi All,

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S2 (T-mobie U.S.) - Please accept my sincere apologies before hand, I am a super n00b at cell phones.

Is there a way to change the splash screen/ boot animation on this phone?

Has anyone found a guide to remove all of the crap-ware that comes with the phone?

What are some of the steps pro phone users take when they get a new phone?

Thank you for taking the time to address my questions,

-Andres
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] movieaddict:
Ok mr new guy,

Since this phone is so spanking new it hasnt been rooted yet! WHICH means that u cant remove the bloatware, change the boot animation, etc etc.!! many developers are working on that problem as we speak!

What i would do is get Titanimum backup and rom manager as those 2 apps are very essential to rooted phones, go with the premium on both if u can makes it so much better and easier and helps out the devs!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tigerz0202:
also once the phone is rooted go with boot flash pro, its in the market and is .99 cents ,you can use any pic on your phone as a splash

So I unlocked my phone with an app by Helroz - is it possible to restore the sim lock so that it looks like it's in factory condition?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystic01:
Also, this one is a Canadian SGS2. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
If you have a backup of your efs from before the unlock you can restore it. It has been a while since I unlocked mine but if I remember right the unlock app backs up the efs before unlocking so you should be good.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystic01:
If I did a factory wipe since then, does that mean it's gone? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lambstone:
You do not have to re-lock your phone to be in factory condition. In face, I see no reason why you would want to do it. Warranty? Unlocking your phone does not void the warranty. Rooting does.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystic01:

Iphone sim lock

Hi everybody,

I have just received a new iphone 3G and capacity is near about 16GB. I am running with the issue of unlocking the SIM into the device. When I insert my sim card into my iphone I don't have any numbers but I can call ! I am not sure about the proper procedure to do it , Would you all help me to do this ?my iPhone book is currently empty when I list a new entry ,I am unable to get any numbers in my phone book ....

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystic01:
The thing is, the people empowered to refuse service on my device told me if I had unlocked the phone they would do nothing for me, so your telling me otherwise does not really help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
Wrong section. Better post it on the iphone-developers (sister site of xda)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ephraim:
If it backed up your efs then it probably is in the internal sd card w/c i think will not be erased by doing a factory reset. If otherwise you formated the internal sd card then it will be gone (i think).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mystic01:
Alright...How would I access the backup? ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kapollo:
Well it does, but not directly. First of all unlocking might be illegal in Canada (OP says it's canadian SGS2). Second if he modified the efs to unlock then he could do that only by rooting, and that might be the main reason for those "empowered" people to say it voids. On the other hand if you would use magic unlock code based on imei (don't know personally how that stuff works) then it wouldn't imply that it was rooted.

Besides if you don't have that efs files. You can still try to simply reverse the hack by placing right bytes in the right place. Browse howtos here there should be some info about operators sim code. Orrrrrrrr you could lock your phone by using so called secret codes I think I saw something like that, perhaps this would allow you to lock the phone again to a particular network in range but first backup the efs again, mail it to your account to be safe.

cheers

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutpants:
Bell canada only allows you to unlock your phone from them by them our they will not honor the warranty. bastards I know.

They charge $75 to unlock.

If you have the extended warranty take your phone water skiing and try to call some one.then make a claim and get a new phone.

Welcome to canada please bend over to receive your new phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nutpants:
I just had a thought.

Call bell and pay for the unlock code for your phone.

They should have no way to tell how it was unlocked..

Then you can use your warranty.

Still sucks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerboii:
There's absolutely no reason to relock your phone even if you're sending it back for warranty purpose. You do need to put back stock unrooted ROM and reset the flash counter

I have unlocked my old Galaxy S and my Motorola Atrix. Both which I sent in for repair. No problems whatsoever

do you need clockwork mod recovery for rom manager on the evo 4g
[General Questions and Answers] lowandbehold:
Yes, you need a recovery. Although you can flash ROM's through ROM manager, it is not recommended. You also need recovery in case you get stuck in a bootloop. It will allow you to restore to your nandroid backups. There are also mods and hacks that can only be installed through recovery.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 14rcole:
I turned on my phone this morning and tried to connect to YouTube but the connection to the server timed out. The same thing happened with all of my other apps that require a data connection except for Google+ and the browser (which will load the default Google home page and nothing else). I definitely have a data connection because there is a 3g icon in my status bar. I'm not sure if this will help. But the 3g and the signal icons are normally green but they are currently white, which has nothing to do with my location. I tried wiping the cache but it didn't work. Has anybody else experienced this problem? Thanks.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majin101:
What's your phone set up (rom or any tweaks). Usually if your running a 2.3 rom the white means that your not connected through ur gmail or google talk i believe. Check your settings go to settings>account&sync> make sure background data is checked.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunkpilot:
Can you make phone calls? If you try and call and get a message saying "error 16", you will need to call sprint and have them reset you to a tower. I've had to do this twice recently. Check to see if your PRL reverted to an older one. I tried to just do an update of the PRL, but that didn't work...had to call Sprint. You will need to be on a Sense Rom in order for the process to work. I use/d a NFX version.

If not, do the advice from above to make sure that your data is turned on and that things are syncing properly.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 14rcole:
I can make phone calls and my PRL is 60665 but I have no idea whether or not that's outdated. I'm running Cyanogenmod 7.0.3, so if I need to call sprint I'll just flash the stock HTC Hero ROM and Sense UI that's on their website. Background data is checked but once I had the problem, I've turned off all data connections because they drain battery and they're useless to me at the moment.

To answer your question. The dhd effects worked on virtuous unity using poweramp. I'm not sure about the stock ROM. Sucks about not having root.
