Double check your ROM. Make sure that it includes a kernel, made for your phone, and isn't some highly experimental thing ROM that may or may not work.

how i loathe videos.

video tutorials and walkthroughs are dumbing down our already dumbed down society.

building a rom is not a simple task, and i dont know of any way that you could possibly simplify it down to be a video walkthrough. it simply takes too many hours and hours of hard work, tweaks, lines of code, compiling/decompiling, trial and error....too many variables.

yes the information is scattered around, and hard to compile in an easy to read manor. hell, you should see my bookmarks folder....ridiculous

then to top it off, every device (family) and every UI is arranged differently. touchwiz, sense, blur, and AOSP are completely different beasts to work with. again. too many variables to simplify it.

also, there are many different techniques, depending on your comfort level with linux/windows. some people can build an entire rom by never leaving the command line, and some prefer a gui with point and clicks.

its just not simple enough.

there would be a different series of videos for just about every device family in existence, and every different technique.

what you are asking for it damn near impossible. bits and pieces can definitely be given video walkthroughs, but not the whole process from start to finish.

there is a reason that right now, its mostly just written spurts here and there. READING is good for you.

First, wrong section.

Second, I think using the RUU would get you back the stock kernel, s-0n and stuff.

Third, don't you need 10 posts to post in the development section?

I'm not sure I could think of a more boring thing to watch than someone cooking up a ROM. I've watched people program and it's like watching paint dry. It's boring as hell and virtually nobody wants to take a half hour job and turn it into a 2 hour job by trying to explain to a complete noob what all this stuff is. There's heaps of guides to tell you what you want to know.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray1:
I love my sgs2, its been a good phone with no glitches, bugs, lags.

but lately, i notice my contact is having a problem.

this happens after i update my firmware via KIES,

Before:

android version: 2.3.3

baseband version: I9100DXKF1

kernal version:2.6.35.7-i9100XWKF1-CL265340 root@DELL106 #2

build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF1

after:

android version : 2.3.3

baseband version: I9100DXKI1

kernal version: 2.6.35.7-i9100DXKI2-CL564948 root@DELL129 #2

build number: GINGERBREAD.DXKI2

after upgrading via KIES, the contact app, the default stock one, everytime i try to add a new contact, a pop up appear saying:

SORRY!

The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectly. Please try again.

(the only option left to tap is "force close")

Can someone help me with this?

I never expect a top tier class A smartphone like the SGS2 will have a silly problem like this. I'm so so sad.

everything else works fine, and its a great phone, but if i cant add new contacts to it, it kinda means it wont function well as a phone anymore.

please help, thank you very much.

You have google+ app installed? Uninstall that and see if the problem is still there.

It's a "fail to sync" issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ray1:
OMG!!

how did you know that?

i was very sceptical when i heard your suggestion, but i tried it anyway.

guess what? i really worked!

i'm so happy, i'm kindda worried i might need to do a hard reset.

thanks a million!

high five!!

just wondering though, why does the google+ affect the contact app?

is it safe to reinstall it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidphile:
Glad i could help.

Google plus is trying to sync b'days and stuffs from your contacts but it's not able to..I don't know why :)

If you reinstall, i guess the problem might comeback. Try and see..!

I wana support google+, but if its messing with my contact, i guess i wont reinstall it.

thanks again for the help.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nainconpetant:
Hi there,

First i want to introduce myself to this forum.

Am a french canadian :rolleyes: so please forgive me my bad writting skills if i make mistakes (and i will), am 32, never had a tab or smartphone before.

Also i never liked the "apple" way of thinking wich mean to me, join our world and stick in it.

Am a pc user and i wanted to get a good androïd tab, I made lots of research before stopping my decision on the Samsung Galaxy 10.1. I own it for a week now and i found it run smoothly, came pretty complete and is easy of use.

Like stated on other topics, i sometime get some lag but i use the "active app task manager" widget that come with the tab to clear some memory and it fix the problem.

As i stated in my profile, am a real estate broker and i bought that tab mostly for my job. (surfing the web, looking at houses pictures, city evaluation, pdf's)

Of course I'll use it on the side for listening to music, watching movies, surfing the net, play games etc...

Now before going any further, here is my specs :

Tab:

Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-PR7500R 16gb

Firmware :

Honeycomb 3.1

Operator :

Rogers

Plan :

4G data only, 500mb/months

Since i got my tab, i kept looking over and over to find some nice apps, tips, and other interesting stuff.

I found that, except if you what you're looking for, its kinda hard to find good stuff.

Am new in the androïd/Tab world so i don't really know what I'm looking for, I dont want to change the firmware (wich i saw is a very popular thing to do)

I just want some advices about the best apps/hint/tips/tricks that i should get (either if i need to pay or not)

Now I know some of you will say ; well we dont know ur interests etc...

I just want to know what stuff I shouldnt pass by, or what i really need to know about the usage of my tab

For thoses that will read all this and anwser me ; THANK YOU !

for the others, well f**:eek: j/k of course

Join the Club

You're not alone. I was a PC man even before anyone knew who Bill Gates was, and still am, but also have recently nose dived into the Android world by why of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy SII.

My suggestions would be:

Use this XDA site a LOT. I'm actually subscribed to all of the Tab forums so I get a recap each morning, and every day I am finding out something I did not know.

When you go hunting for programs to use with your Tab, I would suggest the Android Market (the andrioid icon with the word "market" under it), and/or

The Amazon App Store for Android.

I might also suggest the following sites:

http://www.bestandroidappsreview.com/

http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/

http://gizmodo.com/

http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-computing/tablets

Hope that helps!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nainconpetant:
thank you,

I do look on xda and other sites about some new stuff from day to day.

I would say that most of the subjects are out of interest for me or simply too complicated for a newbee like me.

Im surfing the market almost everyday but there is so many apps, i go with the top ranking but sometimes the best ones arent the ones beeing dowloaded the most.

I really like that Best android apps review site

thank you for your help
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FillTheVoid:
The learning curve is indeed steep for new android users on a site like this where the majority of topics are development based. But we all started somewhere. Once you become familiar with your devices and the OS specifics things will become clear. There are many good guides here on XDA, and other forums, for android beginners that answer a lot of questions. Welcome to this great community. And have FUN learning about your device!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squirreldon:
One Other Suggestion

I forgot to say, one thing I do is try and think of "what" I need the device to do (it be the Tab or my SII), then when I am in the Android Marketplace or the Amazon Apps site, I search based on that "need".

In my case, the very first thing I wanted on both of my devices was an app for all of my financial institutions (Banks, credit card co's, etc). So I did a search for the specific apps, such as "bank of america", "chase", and so on. Of course, I make sure to use apps provided direct from that company for security reasons.

But anyways, the point is, I work the search function HARD!

Salut Nainconpetant

Si ta des questions spécifique gène toi pas, j'étais à la même étape que toi le mois passé, mais ici c'est le meilleur forum pour trouver des réponses :)

Hi Nainconpetant, I'm from Quebec too,

I have a 4G tab, but I'm with Telus.

If you are looking for a good video player : "Dice player" is the best. (it is not free but if you expect to watch movies, you should consider to buy it)

My suggestion :

if you want to try another browser : Dolphin for Pad

phone call : Skype.

pour accéder aux fichiers de la tablette : File Manager HD

Si tu utilise Twitter : Plume (the widget is very good)

"Quebec 511" vient d'etre mis à jour pour supporter les tablettes.

Films : IMDB

if you want a widget for your battery % : Battery Widget

if you listen podcasts : BeyondPod (for honeycomb)

Pour lire le journal (qc/mtl la presse etc) : Press Reader

un bon widget pour facebook : Wizz Widget

pour les Torrents : tTorrent

About the lag, I get less lag since I removed the "Social Hub" widget.

And keep most of your widgets on the other screen, not on the main one.

It can help too.

Si ta d'autres question hésite pas a m'écrire un msg en privée.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sidewind75:
Good Evening everyone. As the title says i need help.

I have had my phone rooted fine in the past but went ahead and did the .893 update wich is where something went screwy. It booted fine after doing the .893 update however after doing a reboot it would not boot. just stayed at the M dual core. I think something went wrong on the update because all my apps were still there when it did boot.

So i tried doing a return to stock using the RSD lite program..that fails right away no matter what i do.

So i went and tried to do the One click fastboot system restore program.

Now when i did that the INFOpreflash validation failure showed up however everything else went through fine. the phone reboots and everything works just not great the signal strenght is very low.

The version that got installed says 5.5.1_84_dbn-55. So i try Pete's root method and it go thru to step 2 but then fails at rebooting for the second time saying it could not get root via local.prop.

If anyone could please help me get back to normal stock it would be much appreciated
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Not to be a jerk, but did you READ any thread on here before you did this??

1) Unless you used p3droid's forever root method, you're done. No root.

2) Wrong forum - should be in general :)

3) RSD won't work.

4) I don't feel sorry for you. You should have researched more. If you would have taken the time to read a few threads, you would have known the answers before you did this.

Enjoy your new build - you'll be with it for awhile.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
P.S. You are stock now.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dubsx:
harsh, but true...has nobody heard of google...?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Or XDA? ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sidewind75:
I did do the forever root and i did read that thread three times b4 i attempted it. I know i am stock. I checked the mount_ext3.sh file and those three lines are no longer there.

And i also have googled this but cannot find an answer hence why i am asking on here..all options i have found to try to reroot have failed
[Motorola Droid Bionic] dubsx:
that too, haha...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Well, you didn't list that in the OP.

At this point, I don't know. Here is all I got: enter stock recovery and wipe everything. Reboot. Cross your fingers.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cellzealot:
There is also some very seriously contradictory info in the OP. While castigating him for being a noob did anyone notice that he claims to have flashed the update and then reverted to stock?

This is impossible from our current understanding of how the bootloader works.

More information about the exact steps followed and the exact results at each step would be very helpful to try and figure out what really happened.

OK?

Less heat and more light... ;)
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
I just got a little frustrated, as every time I open XDA today I see the same/similar post.

Cell - I didn't see in the OP where he said he flashed back. I read where he tried, but I didn't see any mention of 896.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sidewind75:
I could not get the .893 to boot after a reboot so i used the One-click fastboot restore and root which brought back to stock but also made it so that i can no longer root. It fails every time on the local.prop process saying adb could not get root access. I did try the stock recovery and still no go. I also tried the adb fix that was posted to remove local.prop but when i tried it says file not found. I have rooted and messed with many phones in the past from Droid 1 and up and this is the first problem that i couldnt solve so as i said any help would be appreciated.

Oh and i have also tried to unroot it..it also fails at adb not being able to gain root access
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
This isn't going to help your current issue, but how long did you let it sit (after installing 893) before you decided it wouldn't boot? I ask because the guy who was ballsy enough to do it here said the first boot takes about 7 minutes.

EDIT: Nevermind - mine booted in 2 minutes.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sidewind75:
it was fully booted and operational. i just did a power off after a half our or so and power back on and it just sat at the M dual core screen...i dont know why it would not boot. I tried pulling the battery. taking out the sim card and all that. the only thing that would get it booted was the One-click fastboot restore and root program so I at least have a working phone but for some reason the signal strength is horrible
[Motorola Droid Bionic] mistawolfe:
Try to do the fastboot again and root it through there. Or, if you did that already (root in fastboot restore) try rooting afterwards.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] tghockey07:
Might sound dumb, but did you forget to save the chmod changes to the build file? It's a fairly easy mistake and it is the only thing I can think of.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Sidewind75:
yes I did and i checked it twice after making sure root explore was closed reopened and checked the file the chmods where there...but now they are not. and seeing as how i cant root i cannot get them back on it
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
Hey guys, my wife's photon has a terrible data speed. I don't know why, were both running the exact same software/prl. I've wiped the phone and reloaded all the updates and her data connection is still slow. Side by side speed tests between her phone and mine show my phone is grabbing 2.2mb, and her phone is struggling to reach 100 Knossos. Any ideas????

[Motorola Photon 4G] slmclarengt:
That's crazy, subscribed to see how this plays out. Both are connected to the same network, right? (I know, unlikely you're comparing 4G to 3G, just making sure :))
[Motorola Photon 4G] xTMFxOffshore:
I have actually had a similar issue before. And had sprint reset my data and such, and it fixed the problem. But over time it went back to being hit and miss with the good speeds.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:
As stated, have Sprint look at her data plan. All carriers have the ability to slow you down or speed you up.

Funny, @ a month back I looked at Sprints "Unlimited Data" fine print. To make this short, we do have unlimited data, BUT, if your using your device as a server, sending out mass Spam, or (and yes it states this) if you turn on your webcam and set it on the table for several hours, the will turn down your bandwidth for that billing cycle.

I did the above because a old friend is long time AT&T iPhone user on Unlimited Data. AT&T decided to cap new users at 5Gb but last month decided to slow down old users after 5Gb. Not charge them, but put them on a leash.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
Hey guys thanks for the responces. Problem solved!!!! I had to use rsdlite to change the software back to the old mr3 release, and manually update her phone to the latest software and then I had to factory reset like 6 times and finally it her data speeds increased. Now there were they need to be.......oh and I wasn't talking about 4g speeds, I was refering to the 3g data speeds. I have an air rave at home. I usually test the 3g speeds atleast once a week. Its a good way to keep up with q.o.s. on the air rave. Thanks for all the responces everyone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] kwazytazz:
So the speeds were slow when it was connected to your home airrave? Then I don't think its a problem with sprint or your phone but rather your home internet connection. But if you're not connected to the airrave and outside then that's a diff problem
[Motorola Photon 4G] nfamisnme:
Very true, however I own a photon, and when I do a speed test while being connected to the air rave, and my numbers are high, I know something isn't right with my wife's phone. I also run a speed test on my internet connection at home to ensure I'm getting every megabyte I pay att for lol.
[Android Software Development] qberty:
Here is a small application I made because I wanted to quickly get a simple screenshot from my Android device without having to download the SDK, or download a separate GUI and all that jazz. This is a simple enough application that grabs a current screenshot from your device and displays it, as well as saves it as a JPG in the same directory for quick access.

Not really much features, but it's a moderate size (7-8 MB) due to the package having ADB and FFMPEG bundled for the screenshot to have a customized compression. File sizes of the screenshots range from 15-25 kb each. It's a different method of taking a screenshot from the Android device, and I feel that using FFMPEG, has a more reliable output.

As of 1.1, i've added an "instant hotlinking" feature for the couple people that PM'ed me about it. Scr33nDr0iD now uploads your screenshot immediately to a direct download server for easy hotlinking and copies the link to your clipboard in a matter of seconds. That's just about the only unique feature that no other GUI for Android screenshots have.

..:: Screens ::..

..:: Downloads ::..

Download 1.1 for Windows (7.74 MB)

..:: Changelog ::..

1.1

- Added Instant Hotlinking (copies a hotlink URL to your clipboard)

1.0

- Initial Release

If there is any feature you want added to this application, just let me know and i'll code 'em up. If requested I can make this for Linux and MacOSX as well.
[Android Software Development] spc_hicks09:
Looks promising but I'm not sure about 1 thing, is this software for your device or for your PC?
[Android Software Development] qberty:
Well I put the tag [TOOL] so I figured that would assign it to PC only. And for you to download it, the only download link is for Windows right now. So, yeah, PC. Unless there's a good reason to put this on Android, i'll keep it on PC Operating systems.
