Tbh, I'm not sure that there is anyway to get it back through normal means. I tried everything except the resistor trick to get it into download mode because I don't have any 301K resistors laying around or any to splice together. jtag or exchange the phone and play dumb is all I could think of.

Hye all..

I just bought this phone few days back and its is totally awesome!!!

But i noticed that the model is GT-I9100G..So I've search on xda n google it and it seems it has a drawback compared to the first model..

Have i purchase a wrong phone here??

And 1 more thing is is my batt is draining too damn fast like 25% in an hour juz by surfing xda..

Is this normal???

And the saddest part is no dev interested in developing for this model... :-(

I9100G and I9100 have a different Processor

me too I have I9100G I have make very bad choice because before buying

I don't know the difference. :-(

[LG Thrill 4G] mikeeey:
I've read the guides, tried manual and the simple download from the Android Market. Here's what happens:

I've rooted my Thrill with SuperOneClick 2.1.1. It was a successful root from what I can tell, it added Superuser into my apps, and I was able to download Rom Manager from the Android Market.

If I try using Rom Manager and click "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery" It appears to install. But when I hit "Reboot into Recovery" it just reboots like normal.

If I try to manually get into recovery mode by holding volume down and the 3D button it just boots into the stock recovery mode.

When I try to manually install Clockwork and copy recovery.img to /data with cmd I get this:

Thanks for any help, I'm hoping it's just a small little step I missed.
[LG Thrill 4G] Urabewe:
This is covered in the cwm thread in development section you need to use a file explorer that has root access and change permissions to the /data folder. You can use es file explorer, its free. Open it go into settings then browse as root... not really sure exact steps but they are in the came thread.
[LG Thrill 4G] mikeeey:
O my such a small step I missed! Thank you! Ill try this later today.
[LG Thrill 4G] mikeeey:
Permissions of /data are set to R/W but I still get the same error..

I'm starting to wonder if the cause of this is because I tried using Rom Manager to flash clockwork, THEN tried the adb method. Maybe it already being there is causing the permission denied?

edit: so it looks like it was as simple as me looking over the permissions and thinking I saw everything was checked, but really the two checks from the left under "other" were grayed out lol, checking those fixed it.

for the font

go to the market and install font installer it has the roboto font included

for the lock screen

install magiclocker from the market then download the theme here...

easy!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] matrix0886:
Actually, the theme is also on the market. I just downloaded magiclocker and the Android 4 theme (there's a free and paid version) and installed them both. Working great so far.

EDIT:

just a heads up. If you get the paid version, you can't add shortcuts. You can only change the current three that are already there (camera, phone, and sms). Think I might just switch back to widget locker, lol

[T-Mobile LG G2x] btappan:
I was liking the roboto font - then wanted to revert back to stock. Used the same app and searched for 'stock' - and mostly everything was back to normal.

However, some apps (i.e. gmail) are not back to stock. It is having issues with the bold stock font.

I emailed the developer of the font app - and he said that when you apply Roboto, it over-rides all system fonts...but when you apply 'Stock', it only reverts back some of the fonts. His suggestion was to find a flashable .zip that would revert your ROM back to stock fonts.

Anyone else have this issue?

Anyone have a flashable .zip that would revert back to full stock fonts?

Seriously, I just started to play with it as this is my first forray into the Android, I decided not to ROOT the phone. I wanted to get to know the unit first *STOCK* and then decided if ROOTING is necessary or not... Mostly just exploring the phone and getting used to Android... Enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
this is something that everyone should do with new phones, IMO (mostly noobs to the android environment). people are quick to root just because they see everyone else doing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Agreed. When I first got my Captivate, which was my first excursion into Android land, I ran it stock for about a month before I rooted and modded. That showed a bit of restraint, too, because the Captivate did have some serious problems on stock, ie. lag, gps, etc. On the SGS II running stock is a great experience with no serious problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jsmith8858:
Agreed, just use the phone as is, ask questions, learn how things work, experiment with different applications, widgets, settings, etc. Only after you've fully exhausted the possibilities of what comes stock with the phone and determined that you really need a feature that it doesn't provide should you consider rooting and all that. In short, don't try to change what you don't fully understand yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CalvinL:
Same. The thing is, I actually kind of like the TouchWiz. I don't really like the aesthetics and the lock screen is terribly crappy, but I don't want to sacrifice everything else just to get a different lock screen and better looking icons.

I would have also liked that CRT animation...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogerntami:
Actually, there are ROMs that are based on stock. I didn't know that until now...used CM7 on my Captivate and wished there was a combination of the aesthetics of TW and the speed and functionality of CM7.

UnNamed ROM is an excellent TouchWiz-based custom ROM. There are custom mods for the lock screen (a notification toggle flash that includes a toggle for lockscreen), and some different mods for certain icons, I believe (Kitchen?).

hi,

Did anyone happen to see the post by eric in windows phone blog.?

It says the below information.

Next week we’ll start delivering some model-specific “firmware” from handset makers, so don’t be alarmed if you receive an additional update notification on your phone. These updates are designed to activate new Windows Phone 7.5 features or improve your phone’s performance. Not everybody will receive or require one: It all depends on your country, carrier, and phone model.

Any idea whether it will bring the WiFi tethering to the unlocked and debranded devices.?

The GMail app work fine, and the default mail app added my account ok, detected the incoming and outgoing fine, which I checked numerous times. I just can't figure out why it's not showing my mail. When I hit refresh it attempts to sync and just says there's no mail; number just shows up as 0, which is definitely not accurate.

I looked at all other threads on here and couldn't find a start forward answer to my problem most talk about the SD and ext partitions that I have never done

Problem started last night when trying to flash the new RC1 of Zero Hero once flashed phone just sat there at the first boot screen then tryed to go back to my current rom I was using and got a error while writing boot

then I noticed when I wipe dalvik cache I get

E: Can´t mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)

[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
The Bionic is my 5th Android and they all have been rooted and had custom roms installed. Before I root it and get to installing custom roms, I would like to know what each one does well and what their weaknesses are. I don't currently have the time available to install them and play with them all like I normally do, so I'm asking the users who are currently using them.

3 things that are important to me: performance, battery life, and would like the camera not to take 5 seconds after clicking it before taking a picture(wouldn't care about this but have kids that I would like to take pictures of). I would also like to install custom boot screens (after owning the lg revolution, I now know that custom boot screens aren't always an easy task).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Unl3ash3d: Blur based and stock feel, but with extra mods and an extra pretty theme. Pulldown toggles.

Liberty: Stripped down, AOSP (as much as it can be) and a speed demon. Pretty lightweight. Lots of free RAM here. Pulldown toggles. Reboot and other options in the extended power menu.

Which one is better? Matter of taste. Do you fancy the new blur we have? If yes, go Unl3ash3d. Do you want a stripped down, clean, AOSP vanilla gingerbread feel? Go Liberty.

Battery life I couldn't tell you, as I never ran Liberty through a full discharge. I'm a (new)blur kind of guy - it's grown on me. Unl3ash3d gave me battery issues on some early builds, but this latest is great and gets me the best battery life I've had to date.

Both have different themes available for them, so that's equal as well.

Good luck.

P.S. When Eclipse drops in here, give that a whirl. Smooth.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Jabagg:
As far as the camera goes, I agree that the stock one is pretty unusable compared to other phones. Both Liberty and Unl3ash3d have replaced the stock camera app with ones that I find work much faster and better.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
I definitely appreciate this thread and would love to see more discussion from those with experience with the various roms. I've just switched from the Atrix to the Bionic and from some of the comments, I wasn't even sure if it was worth switching to a custom rom or not. Obviously they each offer some benefits, but complaints about battery life were a bit concerning. I also wasn't clear on how much faster/smoother any of them performed compared to stock (though it's pretty nice in stock form already).

As of now I'm rooted and running go launcher without any huge complaints, though I like to tinker and customize stuff, so that alone is driving my interest in running a rom, though I'm still having trouble with taking interest in a particular option.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] smokedkill:
CC Lemon, don't let the complaints about the existing roms scare you. This is still a relatively new phone and it takes time for the devs to work the bugs out. Over time, they will be worked out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] CC Lemon:
I wouldn't say that it scares me... I'm just not convinced there's anything I should be trying yet. I'm sure we'll see some great roms eventually, but I'm not looking for something that I'll update every time a new version is released, so I'd like something with as few bugs as possible. My post was mostly directed at trying to figure out if any current roms in their current form are worth using or if I should just wait until more bugs are worked out.

The recent CM7 developments definitely sound promising. I know it's just a matter of time before I decide to flash something, but the question is when and what.
