I tried to install the nightly cm_galaxys2_full-89.zip but when rebooting into cwm recovery I get the error E:Error in /sdcard/cm_galaxys2_full-89.zip (status 7) installation aborted. I have re downloaded the update to make sure the MD5 was correct and all is good. Any clue as to why this is happening?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
Look up the error 7 code in Android (google it) :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] id10terrordfw:
That is for the international GSII, not the AT&T GSII. They are NOT interchangeable. Go to the Dev section to atinm's thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jm1280:
Thanks, I just tried again and noticed that it said TI-9100. Makes sense.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jm1280:
Sorry guys, I was using the SG2 Int nightly instead of the ATT SG2. Found the correct link.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SpectraDawn:
Ok I'm a little confused about this. Because when I go to their wiki, and go under Samsungs2ATT there are no nightly builds. That last link I've seen was posted 10-10 and it's only the stable version. And everyone time I go to the nightly thread, it takes me to the same link each day. Am I missing something here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jm1280:
I have come to the conclusion that they just don't have any nightly yet. Although mine is running just fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SpectraDawn:
Ok lol, just making sure I wasn't loosing my mind here...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] apanihi:
This is not correct, if you read through the whole thread *can't remember which page* the AT&T nightlies have been added, but the bot that compiles+signs them and makes them available has not run through the files yet.

The nightlies for AT&T S2 are coming soon!
[Motorola Droid X2] in99flames:
Hello all. General question to help me further understand some odds and ends in Android. What is the benefit of converting a program to a system program? Example:

I was reading that some people will convert, say, "GoLauncher" to a system app and deleting their stock launcher.

Now, I use Launcher Pro and always had it as a regular downloaded program. I did delete the BLUR launcher and the system always defaults to Launcher Pro so it is not an issue. If I was to convert Launcher Pro into a system app, would there be any benefit from doing so?

Thanks :)
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
If you data wipe it will remove your launcher unless it is converted to a system app. (95% sure on this)
[Motorola Droid X2] in99flames:
Ahh, I see. SO being that I removed the Blur launcher, Its better to move the Launcher PRO to system app. This way if I need to wipe, I will actually have a launcher to use instead of a black screen with a status bar. :P Either that or I would have to attempt to push one using ADB.
[Motorola Droid X2] booked:
I do know that system apps cannot be uninstalled unless you use something like titanium backup or root explorer.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
This is why I make my launcher a system app.

I think u might be able to hold down search key and say market to be able to download one as long as u don't have voice search deleted or frozen like I do;)

Better safe than sorry tho
[Motorola Droid X2] in99flames:
Ok i use Tbackup for all my program freeze/removal. I converted launcher pro to system app. Thanks for all the input!
[Motorola Droid X2] TransX2:
What permissions do i need to put for moving the launcher into system apps
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Rw-r--r--

Im pretty sure all system app permission are the same

If u long press any other system app and choose change permission u can see what it should look like. Then just cancel out and go to launcher app and make it look the same way

looks like this::

Hi,

need steps to change rfs to ext4? And does it require data wipe?

I am on SGS I9000 + 2.3.5 stock jvt

Regards.

:)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Woolf:
No data wipe required, flash a kernel with ext4 included, boot into recovery and apply lagfix. Be sure to remove lagfix before flashing another rom in cwm.

Some kernels will require chainfires ext4 tools application.

Go to develop section and have a read up.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali_khalid5518:
no data wipe but for security just make a backup coz sometime it hangs but not everytime.....just convert ur partition.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anukilimanoor:
Now you are on stock ROM. To convert rfs to ext4 either you have to install a kernel that support ext4 and then go to recovery and then enable lagfix. Or you can go for a custom rom. My advice is to go for custom ROM like Darky...

Hi, I've not tried windows on my phone yet but I'm tempted too. What is the best / most popular rom?

I guess then can be booted from SD cards like I currently do with american android?

Thanks :D
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
Umm, first of all, Windows "Phone" 7 cannot be booted from sd card.

And the best ROM is "Back to the Future" (like we haven any others :/ )
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dtokez:
Thanks. How do you go about running it then if not from sd?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:
It must be run from the NAND memory. However, you will need to have an sd-card pre-installed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dtokez:
Cheers mate, is that simple enough to do?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Marvlesz:

That said WP7 is lovely to use and very fast.

You will need to call Microsoft to get an activation code to use any of the online services. They seem quite happy to give out the codes just have a read of the WP7 forum for details.
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
Hi just curious,yiu can change icons etc

Like your pc etc

Can i change app,sysem icons with ones i want?

Thanks in advance people
[Desire HD General] l33ch0r:
You could use desktop visualizer to kind of create icons, where you can choose the icon for application and so on...just take a look at it :)
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
Interesting, i have checked it out,going to play with it later (The app!) Then report back.Looks good though,cheers mate
[Desire HD General] bombadier:
This feature really should be included in sense,very time consuming having to use the app just to remove the text from under the icon.
[Desire HD General] drolles:
Yes that is one of the features that is missing. Free customizing our phones ...

Sent from my HTC Desire HD A9191
[Desire HD General] Raipe43:
Well, if you use a a different launcher, like launcherpro or adw, you can use custom icon packs(Suave etc).
[Desire HD General] arknailed7754:
Good app,desktop visualization shame it cant replace apps stock icon

Like pc etc.
[Desire HD General] crazyjc81:
Yup, using an alternate launcher in my opinion is the easiest way. There are plenty of themes available, and you can also change individual app icons very easily. I use Go Launcher Ex. It has some really cool transition animations.
[Desire HD General] laserb3ak:
I totally agree, HTC, must realise that ALOT of their customers want to tweek Sense more than they currently allow, so they eventually turn to other launchers.

Causing negative feelings towards Sense... as stable as it is!
[Desire HD General] zongamin:
I also prefer Go Launcher Ex for this, because not only does it allow Icons to be easily changed, but also renaming of apps.

I hate to see names cut off on the homescreen so I change them - for example

Tune In Radio is cut to Tune In... - so I change it to 'Radio'
[Desire HD General] Evil_Zo:
One solution could be with Folder Organizer App. In Folder Organizer create a shortcut of app you want and simply change the icon. Afther that go to home, add, shortcut, Folder Organizer Item, shortcuts and select the one you created.

I flashed back to stock 2.3.4 out of my recovery and restored everything with Titanium Backup. Now whenever I try to open Gmail its force closes. I tried clearing cache and it didnt do anything.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daimyorl:
Hi all!

I have created a script that reads a .db file and exports a .txt file based on the data contained in the database.

That script actually works only with the root user but I would prefer not to use root for this.

The problem seems to be that when the db file is updated (after exiting Epistle, a note editor) it loses all the permissions I gave it with chmod. The db file is located inside /system

Thanks and regards.

In case you want to know, I'm trying to execute a script after modifying some notes (with Epistle) that will export every note to a different txt file.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daimyorl:
Sorry about that

Can anyone lend a hand? I'm trying to make an application be able to access the data of another one. If you want to know, I'm trying to make Tasker access the database of Epistle (a text editor)

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
I have the black blotches, a dead red pixel, and the vertical lines (which, btw, were somewhat present on the "good" screen of my MT4G)

But I have no problems with the battery.. no random reboots, great speaker quality (both media playback and phone calls) and the phone flies.

I definitely WANT to return it and get a "good" screen.. but I'm hesitant because I'm thinking I may end up with a phone that has some other issue, like the reboots/battery/overheating or any number of other unknown issues..

I do feel I should have a flawless screen if I'm paying hundreds of dollars for a phone.. I mean the whole point of the SG2 is the screen really, that's they key marketing point they are pushing on it, and that's really what initially drew me to it.

It's aggravating when I'm trying to watch something in the dark and I can see these black blobs and lines...

but I'm also happy with the phone's performance.. tough decision

What would/did you do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Krooked22:
Return it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
every phone will have issues but its your right to have a working model so return it til your satisfied.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] OuncE718:
I would return the phone, but return it after Samsung brings in some new batches. You might turn it in and waste your time and get another with the same problem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tackleberry:
Really? This is a question? If the water pump leaks on your car every 2 weeks after replacement are you gonna not return it under lemon law because it has a kick ass stereo?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
If I were you, I would go ahead and exchange. You have too many issues to not and keep the phone and regret it later. I had a small situation of the right side of my screen not being flushed with the casing and I decided to just keep it. The other issues I have seen on the forum make me worried that if I exchange I will end up with a bunch of other issues that I don't want. The one that gets me the most is the vertical lines and the 100% battery bug. None of these issues are on my phone and I want to keep it that way.

I also saw someone mention the issue with the ground on the charger. I saw this first hand at the t-mobile store. The phone was doing phantom presses and I wasn't even touching the phone. I asked the rep about it and of course she had no clue. I unplugged the charger and everything was fine.

It's always a risk to exchange with any type of phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android4sunny:
Well my suggestion would be to exchange it.

I got mine on the release day. All looked good and i was back home. I made a call and realized that i'm getting this low buzz noise on call when the other person speaking. tried couple of diffrent calls, checked on IVR's but it was constantly there. Went to T-mobile store next day, showed it to the rep, he opened the phone and pushed the SIM card in and said it is because the SIM was not properly inserted. I called and it was not there (coz there was music going on in the store so did not felt it) but before leaving i though i'll give it a try again and called the T-Mobile care number. Bingo...as soon as the IVR started the buzzing was there...showed it to the rep, he talked to the store supervisor and she also listened and immediately replaced my phone. Checked the other one...and no buzzing sound at all with the volume all the way to up. So go ahead and replace it before u run out of time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scmurphy13:
I'm on my second SGS2. Exchanged the first one because of the lines. This one has the lines, but not as bad, but it has had a couple of reboots. Went to exchange for a third and was told no by the store manager. She told me that she can't keep doing exchanges because it costs her store money. Not my problem, I told her. I paid full price for the phone, I want one that is as close to perfect as I can get and since I'm in my 14 days, I'm allowed to exchange because my device is defective. She still told me no and said that exchanges are at the stores discretion and she said I can't get another exchange. I will be filing a complaint with T-Mobile about this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
You can then ask for a refund.

After you get your money back, buy another one.

It's law my friend. They cannot refuse a refund within the remorse period.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scmurphy13:
That's probably what I'll do. I paid cash so hopefully I'll get cash back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Yes, this is a legitimate question, and your analogy is far off. Let me help you.

If every car out there typically has some set of known problems (like every cell phone pretty much does, from HTC to Samsung to LG, etc) then a leaky water pump might not be that bad if say, many of the other vehicles have a bad engine or are known for random blowouts while on the freeway.

Then all of the sudden that leaky water pump doesn't seem so bad.. especially when you HAVE to have a car (phone), so it's not like you can just say "effit, I'm not buying any of them until they get it right"

So then the only option you have is to decide which flaws you're willing to live with, or keep returning it until they actually refuse to do business with you. And yes, that does happen...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Just exchanged mine in-store. New one has a MUCH better screen.. barely noticeable verticals and no black blotches or dead pixels..

Now I just have to make sure EVERYTHING else works right... headphone jack, camera, Bluetooth, Wifi, Data, etc...

I think this one's going to be a keeper though. Seems pretty solid so far.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lookitzjohnny:
Just exchanged mine today same manufacture date 9/28/2011, this one is far better barely noticeable vertical lines and definitely no blotches on the screen!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Tasty_Beats:
Lucky you guys... My first one had the vertical lines so I traded it in and the second one is much worse : (. I've noticed that it also has the random reboot issue too. It was a 9/28/11 batch.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeyinid:
My first one had very noticeable vertical lines. My second one has them but not nearly as bad. But, the new one does have a white spot in the screen and there are words somehow etched on the inside of the screen, almost like they are burned in. So just weigh the pros and cons of swapping, you could end up with something worse.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The_Biz:
I'd totally return it or exchange it if it had blobs. I've seen them 1st hand on 1 of the 6 I've tested. You do need to realize that these screens all have the lines to and extent. So just get one you can live with without the blobs and move on. I'm super picky but have realized that there's no escaping the lines.

1/6 didn't have that many lines and it ended up getting a stuck red pixel, so I just exchanged till I found one that had the lines evenly spread and not just bunched up in one corner.

Also, with testing 6 of them, I also noticed that some of them would display heavy lines with a certain wallpaper while others wouldn't. Yet the others would display heavy lines with a different wallpaper while the others wouldn't. Trust me, I fully tried all I could to get a perfect one and that's the reason I tried 6 and did different wallpapers.

The blobs aren't as common as the lines and you'll more than likely get a blob free one with the exchange.

Good luck and sorry for the lenghty post.

Side note: Here's the best wallpaper I've found to check for lines and blobs. Something about the color combo of this wall makes the stick out.

Recently, I flashed the latest "CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7" into my phone. After that , everything was okay. But after a few days, I started to notice a sound difference after the flashing of Cm7.1. When one of my friend called me, the ring tone was playing with some krr..krrr.....sound. It was slight. And when I played the music also, I noticed some unusualness. Does the "CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 Android 2.3.7" make any changes to the sound?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] scoffyburito:
If you play around with DSPManager that would explain the music problems but there is a possibility of you damaging your speaker by playing excessive noise on it for long periods of time, ive done it before :D What kind of irregularities do you notice in sounds?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] CallMeVentus:
You mean sharp sounds ?

I've been experiencing that since DXKC1
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dilrox:
Sometimes it gets a clash while playing music....like its not expressed greatly, but a small ensharpening or I don't know how to tell it. A kind of slight clash or sharpening of the sound.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dilrox:
yeh...a kind of sharpening i think. Will it damage my speaker? And its shown more when I put the headphones and Volume 100%. So I think its not hardware problem.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] scoffyburito:
I used to get that too but its gone for me now. Its a software issue and no those noises wont damage the speaker luckilly :p But I am not sure on the solution on fixing it. For me it just went away one day :confused:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qu1nn:
hello,

I rooted back in 1/2011 using Unrevoked3.

From there I changed from clockwork to amon-ra, installed busybox v1.17.1, as well as ROM Manager

v3.0.0.7. At that time I did a Nandroid backup (selected: boot, system, data, recovery, wimax, & android_secure )

From there I left it as a stock ROM with the following:

Hboot 0.97.0000, Build # 3.29.651.5,

Android 2.2

Baseband Version: 2.15.00.09.01,

Kernel Version: 2.6.32.15-ge2fb08e htc-kernel@and18-2 #11,

Software : 3.29.651.5,

Hardware Version 3,

pri version: 1.77_003

prl version: 60671

Now I haven't really followed all of the ROM tweaks, variants, and developments over the past year. The evo is starting to get a bit sluggish...so I figured an update and a change would be good...I plan on going from STOCK to current stable cyanogen.

I think that I could restore the apps and such with titanium (if I ensure that 'system data migration' is enabled) however I would think that it would be best to start off fresh....

I would like to keep my text messages.

I have been scouring cyanogen forums, xda, and such... there is alot of conflicting/not updated information. I am probably over analyzing, just being cautions.

Question 1: should I have to update ROM Manager, Busybox, or AmonRa? (they are same version from when I rooted) <my guess is no, but I am unsure if there is some major bug that was fixed, especially with respect to AmonRa>

General Order:

1) follow instructions per

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/...ated-07-august-2011-now-kernel-info-included/

(perform another nandroid backup, wimax keys backup > and make a full SDCARD backup to the PC > Flash Cyanogen > flash GAPPS > flash GPS fix > flash latest radio/wimax/pri/prls)

I have titanium pro, but there settings seem a bit overwhelming.

Once I flash cyanogen & radios...

Question 2: what is the best way to restore my texts?

I was thinking the following:

- First - delete all folders on sdcard except nandroid / TitaniumBackup

- Second - sync google contacts/calendar

- third - go to the market and install appbrain to re-sync applications that I like

- fourth- use titanium to restore text messages com.android.mms-FILENAME.properties (and .tar.gz)

Question 3: I am assuming that this is the only file required to restore my SMS/Text messages, am I correct?

or does cyanogen use a different application?

Question 4: is there anything critical that I am missing?

Thanks for your time

Qu1nn
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Apps are fine to be restored with Titanium, that's what it was made for. System data, no. NEVER backup and restore system data between different roms.

SMS Backup and Restore from the market.

Always update is there are updates available. 99% of the time, updates only make things better.

Pretty much. Put rom zip on root of sd card, boot into recovery, make a Nandroid Backup, wipe data/cache/dalvik, flash new rom, reboot. I'm almost positive the cm7 zip comes with gapps, you shouldnt have to flash those separately. Radios can be flashed anytime.

Again, SMS Backup and Restore. Simple app, one click to backup and one click to restore.

You dont need to delete things off the sd card unless you need the space. And you can use Titanium to backup and restore texts, but not if you are switching from a Sense rom to an AOSP rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] {ParanoiA}:
Just start off fresh and forget the messages. Latest amon-ra is 2.3 and get rid of rom manager
