Does anyone know if there is an app that saves the desktop settings of the Samsung S2 (ie shortcuts to apps on the 7 screens)?

It is annoying to redo the favorites everytime I flash a new ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onslaught86:
..Titanium Backup? Saves app shortcuts fine for me, just not widgets.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tiim:
Just backing up your launcher settings (with Titanium) should do just that.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sageman70:
Okay. I have titanium premium. Which of the list options do you restore? Is it under system or apps and what will be the name of the Launcher option containing the saved settings?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfanax:
In titanium backup go to "back up section" and back up "Twlauncher"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punshkin:
Does titanium backup on launchers also work with widgets?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jh247247:
So I've inherited a milestone that has gone through the washing machine.

It partially boots, as in it kills itself before any human interaction, and I can start up and stay in recovery as well as flash whatever I want.

I think that when starting into android the cellular signal kills the entire phone and I've already tried to insert a script to disable the radio to no avail. (still tries to talk with GSM.)

So I guess my questions are; is there a ROM of some sort out there that the milestone radio does not work, will I have to do some software backflips and, will I have to chuck it?

Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] takkaros:
Have you tried first to open it up and use a hair dryer to dry it up, using cold air? If not, try that. Otherwise, try untagging the antenna cable from inside the phone or use a "Cell Phone Signal Blocker Pouch" to see if the phone boots in it while blocking the signal. I don't think this will work tho, because the phone will still be trying to find signal. I don't know what else to say. Good luck.

I don't like the limited miui camera app so I added the cyanogen 7.1 camera app here for you to enjoy a camera as good as the Samsung stock one!!

Here are some features in the cyanogen cam app the miui cam app does not have...

1. touch anywhere on the screen spot light meter (miui is center spot meter only)

2. touch anywhere on the screen focus (miui only has center focus)

3. Face detect focus

4. Exposure settings

Enjoy a better camera app!

How to install this beauty: download to SD-card and install. Simple as that

thanks to Cyanogen and stassano!

[Nexus S General] xpzseu:
now we can use cdma 1x in china with nexus s 4g, but the baseband of nexus s 4g is not suitable for evdo in china. so we need help.
[Nexus S General] xpzseu:
My pre-phone is milestone2, in china i use the rom of the motorola(for china), also the signal is very poor, with the europe baseband the phone works very well.

So i thought maybe it is a problem of baseband(wrong frequence for china evdo) with nexus s 4g.
[Nexus S General] ghost010:
where did you buy it from?

you should have contacted your carrier on what bands they work.

and see if the nexus s 4G was suitable for it(if it can use it or not. like the HZM)

like for example.my carrier. BEN.NL

uses 1800MHZ.so i need to use a HSPDA/GSM phone.
[Nexus S General] Rem3Dy:
There will be no way to change the frequencies.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
I would extract the baseband script into the source and take a look at the broadcom source files.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trisest:
Is there option to unlock phone over menu or volume buttons?

I need two hans when going over power on/off button. I saw this option

ro.config.hw_menu_unlockscreen=false

It is in /system/build.prop file and I change it but nothing happens.

Grateful
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] priestx:
I guess this option is for hardware buttons only (like the Galaxy)

In order to be able to unlock with the menu/home/etc buttons, since they are capacitive, the screen should remain powered which uses battery

Not sure, but this should be it...
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
If you want to UNLOCK the phone, you can install widgetlocker and u can unlock it with the "back" soft button (first one with the arrow thing) if you hold it for a certain time. I set mine to 2 seconds.. so for me to unlock the phone I can either slide from the screen or hold the soft button for 2 seconds (you can set it whatever time u want)

If you mean... turn on the screen (not actually unlock) then.. I dont know.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] trisest:
thats the thing I was looking for! I put my volume buttons to turn power on and Back button to unlock. Now I can even add apps and use notifications on unlock screen. Really useful!

Only concren is battery usage since widgetlocker runs in background all the time..
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Tcm9669:
Don't worry about battery usage. I personally have been using it for ages and so far.. I didnt see much of a difference from when I was using the stock one.

It doesnt matter if the program is IN MEMORY, just because it's sitting theer it doesnt mean that it's using CPU (draining battery) it just its there in the memory waiting for the LOCK event to trigger :)

Enjoy.
[HTC Sensation] gus_chi:
Greetings all, I journey from the hTC HD2 forums. :-) I have received the hTC Sensation 4G as a gift for my birthday and thus far am liking the device as a whole. My question is in regards to the on-board storage. On the HD2 and a friend's Evo4G, I was able to repartition the on-board NAND to my liking. Since I am more of a CM7(soon to be 9) man myself, I would like to know if there is any progress in this realm. I also remember reading that our device comes with 4GB of on-board storage, yet am only able to see approximately 2GBs of usable space (See Ref.1). I am fully aware that every device comes with partitions for the splash screen, radio, recovery, et.al. but I cannot fathom how this would take up the remaining 2GBs of supposed storage. Can someone enlighten me of this notion or link me to a corresponding thread? The only viable information I was able to find was here.

I really like this phone but despise the miniscule amount of on-baord storage HTC built into this supposed "flagship phone" (let alone, the mere 8GB storage card that was included)

Ref. 1. (via Titanium)

System ROM: 825MB

Internal: 1.23GB
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
I've not seen anything regarding repartitioning the NAND.

I'm running CM7 and it's fine with the standard partitions. I guess when ICS comes if it needs repartitioning it'll get worked out at the time.

From memory the AlphaRev CM7 partition just increased the Data partition at the expense of Cache and System.

It is pre-rooted. No need to root again.

It can be overclocked to increase or decrease CPU speed as your need.

It has some added applications.

It has some performance boost and etc.

[HD2 General] Mister B:
I want to correct displayed phone band details in my custom ROM to actual TMOUS HD2 hardware band details.

The settings are stored in registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\BandType]
"ItemValue4"=dword:00000003
"ItemName4"="UMTS(2100+800)"
"ItemValue3"=dword:00000002
"ItemName3"="GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)"
"ItemValue2"=dword:00000001
"ItemName2"="GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(900+2100)"
"ItemValue1"=dword:00000000
"ItemName1"="Auto"
"ItemCount"=dword:00000004

I am after the 3 original data strings from TMOUS HD2 ROM for GSM+UMTS & UMTS frequency options.

I assume they will be something like this:

GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)

GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1700+2100)

UMTS(1700+2100)

You can view these via registry key above or in phone settings>bands .

The original data values would be great as custom ROM displaying incorrect band data is bugging me.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
The entries may not look exactly the same entries for the tmous since it uses aws and no other hd2 does.

For the bands put tmous hd2 aws bands into Google. Certainly here in the UK hit 1 has what you need. (Aws runs on 1700/2100, I remember that much)
[HD2 General] Mister B:
AWS(advanced wireless serrvice) is just T-Mobile branding terms for what is 1700+2100 UMTS

Search info not really conclusive to what original settings would be, I know the bands for TMOUS but I want to know the data strings from original HD2 TMOUS ROM for the 3 frequency options so the frequencies & frequency pairings for each option is displayed correctly for the hardware.

setting 1 is GSM 900+1800 & supports 2100 UMTS (WCDMA HSPA) as used & tested

setting 2 is GSM 1900+850 but + what ! UMTS/ASW ! ??

setting 3 is UMTS or probably labelled AWS 1700+2100

My guess in first post should be close but would like it confirmed by a TMOUS HD2 original ROM user.

Thanks ...

Update:

Looks like standard T-Mobile USA ROM kept standard HD2 bands in settings so was displayed wrong too ...

1.flash the kernel from secure to insecure through ODIN

2.root the OS with S2Root_1.5.1

3.reflashed with original kernel to remove yellow icon while booting(optional)

Referred the instructions in this post for previous steps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1125414

4.Install Spooffw from market( it requires root access.the reason why we root before doing this)

5.Open Spooffw app and select Nordic region preset ,follow the steps in that app (which change the phones internal files to make it look like its from Nordic countries)

6.Connect to PC ->Open KIES found that it shows 2.3.5 XXKI4 update is available .

7.upgrade the firmware.

But i lost the root access . Gotta root again (follow first three steps) if i need root access again
[Galaxy S II General] stennett:
Why not flash 2.3.5 using Odin? Alot less steps and twice as quick.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Thanks for mentioning that app. I'll follow that method next time I wanna upgrade.

PS- Changing the region won't delete my data, right?
[Galaxy S II General] dhruvmalik:
No, Kies does not wipe data.

Can anyone else confirm?
[Galaxy S II General] pähkinä:
I'm thinking exactly the same. This makes no sense, what do you gain with this?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
Note that, You will have to do the same when Official Indina version gets released !!!

Steps you did will update your model id ... which makes is diificult to get official version from Kies ... So in order to restore that footprint you will have to again update your Model ID with SpoofFW...

I tried this a lot with My Galaxy S.... :P

I would simply prefer ODIN method ... and You can easily detect if ROM you are about to flash will Wipe or Not. ...

1) Single File , No Wipe

2) 3 Files , Full Wipe.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Didn't know that! What if I flash two files? Say PDA and CSC, will it wipe or not?
[Galaxy S II General] Virtualsk:
You should not do that ... Dont know , What will two files do !!!

But When you flash new ROM, theses two points can detect Wiping... ROM Will never have two files ... !

Flashing two files might work or might not work ! ... Normally PDA holds Wipe details ... if i am wrong.
[Galaxy S II General] kasipan:
dunno . i was a liitle paranoic abt losing my data ..
[Galaxy S II General] NeoMustain:
Why? Titanium backup Rox.
[Galaxy S II General] bala_gamer:
Dude, whats the point in updating to XXKI4 via kies? , ITs still an european firmware. also its already available here in our forums, you can simply flash it via mobile odin.
[Galaxy S II General] MorRoquen:
I guess it makes sense in one way: for someone who wants the latest "Indian" firmware via Kies but can't get it because he/she flashed a firmware via ODIN before.

Of course, this is assuming folks in India will actually get an updated firmware soon :-D

Basically the SpoofFW app enables Kies to recognize your firmware as something that is upgradeable. Not particularly useful for most of us on XDA, but great if someone wants to stop screwing around with flashing firmwares and go back to Kies-enabled stock.

Hi,

I am planning to uninstall the System app Google Maps using Titanium Backup.

For now I will use a third party app (Sygic). However in the future I may want to install it later, but if possible I will choose to install it as a normal app instead of restoring the system app.

Questions -

1. If I remove Maps, will it affect any other part of the system that you would like to caution me about?

2. If I replace the system app with normal app, will I be able to upgrade to next version of android whenever it's rolled out for my phone (Galaxy S2 I9100)? I am currently on Gingerbread 2.3.3.

good morning,

my ace has 233 ginger installed, rooted.

I always used titanium back to move apps from telephone memory to SD.

I just discovered that linksd makes the same thing.

Reading around it seems the link2sd move completely the applications leaving only the link in the internal memory, but I don't know if titanium makes the same.

I'm wondering Which are the differences between these two methods and which is the best program to move applications?

thanks
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Baracs:
I use Titanium Backup to move to SD and it must transfer the files to SD and leaves a link on the internal because amount of ram available increases on the internal drive.

I have had no issues with it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] consegregate:
Ram? :confused:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] coluichepensa:
noboddy has tested both the applications to understand which is the best one?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] erik_bies:
I think titanium makes a mount point for each moved app, and link2sd a symbolic link. Dunno what's better though. I would say... Test it in performance, comparability and memory usage...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
I just install S2E and then restore all my apps using Titanium Backup. S2E installs them in the SD automatically so I don't have to stop to batch move them so the SD.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] iandol:
Titanium uses the older method in which apps are stored on the FAT partition and mounted, link2sd needs a second ext4/3 partition and simlinks each app. link2sd method is better as it doesn't need to wait to mount on first login. Titanium leaves dalvik cache on internal, link2sd moves it to ext partition and so it saves more space. s2e and a2sd is similar to link2sd but they symlink the whole folder, which is less flexible but easier to manage.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] pourya-man:
You can use other software
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ino-xda:
And that's exactly the problem with link2sd: it runs late. So the apps it links to aren't available while the sdcard is scanned for icons and file paths. Consequently it often (ie. always in my case!) has to restart or "soft boot" the device, which is annoying to say the least. I even had some unusable apps that couldn't take the fuzz. All probs repaired easily, but then, why bother? I kept the 500MB ext2 partition, though, might come in handy some day.

I suggest using ext2 as a general rule: ext3/ext4 are created with a log by default. This log carries changes to any data on disk and is flushed out from time to time by a special kernel thread. While this can speed operation and even safe guard against data corruption it is also unsuitable for flash storage and puts load on the wear levelling block driver beneath it _if there is one_! Now ext3/ext4 can be created and mounted without a log, but you'd have to trust other peoples/devs judgement to get this right. Not a problem with ext2. Ext4 is really fast and reliable, but with flash the bottleneck is elsewhere.
