[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paintermanscott:
I'm trying to load cm7 on my brother in laws atrix 4g. It states boot 2 fail after trying to boot into android recovery... he's running 2.2.2 and all I did was root it and flash recovery. He has root but I don't know why its saying "boot 2 fail" after trying to launch recovery... help please!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acaseyb:
Did you unlock the bootloader? That's required in addition to root.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akitten007:
Can you boot normally, or is this on every boot? Do you get boot 2 fail only when you try to boot into Android Recovery?

This is along with unlocking your bootloader to flash recoveries!

This usually means there is a problem with the recovery, whether it is not flashed or a problem. Look in the system/etc directory for the install-recovery.sh using a file explorer like es file explorer or root explorer. If it is there, this means the system recovery file is trying to override the cwm. Look at the cwm recovery instructions at this link down the post a bit. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1154600

this is for rom racers recovery and rom managers. It says to delete the install-recovery.sh file. Hopefully these instructions help you out!

Edit: the above link also includes unlocking your bootloader. You may be able to unlock it in your postition at RSD mode. Make sure your battery is charged before flashing anything, especially RSD flashing.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acaseyb:
If it's unlocked, you'll see "unlocked" above the motorola logo on the boot screen. If you don't see that, you'll need to unlock before proceeding.

Hey,

Just got this phone, and I rooted and unlocked it.

Now want to install the most stable rom there is, for example on Samsung Vibrant the stable ROM was Bionix......

Is there something like that for SGS2?

By stable, I mean everything work just like stock....

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peachpuff:
They all pretty much work like stock(except cm7/miui), they just differ by themes and kernels, try a couple of them because everyone is going to recommend different ones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
This is the first phone ive had that didnt need a custom rom. Big ups to Samsung for doing what others cant do. Theres only 2 custom roms CM and MIUI and the rest have tacky themes throughout them. Just like the poster above, grab a stock rom, root it, remove any apps you dont want.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrvnqsrxk:
Just stay away from experimental builds and betas, and you should be fine.

Great advice. I am on 2.3.3 now KG2, whats the stable latest stock rom out there (preferable deoxed as i do not want useless apps)? As I heard some of the latest stock rom do not perform well.....?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Seifer1975:
For a newbie, I would advise to just stay with the stock rom. This phone is already a beast in its stock form and you don't really gain alot from all the custom ROMs and kernels, unlike the SGS1.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:
can I install Villianrom? is that stock rom with just useless stuff removed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
I don't think deodexed is gonna give any better performance. I'm thinking the other way around.

Anyway I recommend stock KI3 or above and root using cfroot from chainfire.

Then use titanium backup to freeze any bloatware. There are lists around. Just posted one myself. Too long to do again.

Use jkay mods for odexed roms from theme section. Great stuff.

3rd party (market) apps like Launchers, sms, dialers, contacts, etc etc etc can be themed to change look and feel.

Have fun.

AFAIK, VillainROM is basically rooted stock + (standard) Ninphetamine 2.0.5 kernel + VRTweaks, which gives you the option to modify a number of things. I've been using it since version 3.0, and very happy with it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSaw:
Why not use the stock ROM then? You have one condition for your pick: you want the most stable ROM. Use the stock Samsung ROM. But then you add "by stable you mean everything works like stock" ... but not stock? What? What do you want?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrvnqsrxk:
Usually they want better battery life, and maybe some optimization and tweaks. Any more would fry a noobs brain.

Start talking about kernels and they'll wonder why you're introducing corn into the conversation.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty warrior:
there are ONLY two things i like about custom roms

1. they removed the google voice thing

when double clicking the home button it starts an app

the thing is there is a home lag with that process

its removed in most custom roms (villain roms have something called VRtweaks) really nice stuff

2.increased sensitivity

no idea why samsung implemented this

custom roms that have this feature are snappier

currently running Ki8 with speedmod

i used Cognition 1.6 and have always used it before + black android (amazing)

only reason i switched is because he removed RTL support

using stock Ki8 with speedmod

[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
About a Week ago My headphone jack just randomly stopped detecting when I had my headphones plugged in. I Tried all kinds of different headphones and ear buds. Nothing works and sound just keeps coming out from the speakers. I then downloaded Toggle Headset 2 from market and I can hear sound from my headphones again! BUT on the top where its supposed to show you that headphones are plugged in, it doesnt. Also changing Equalizer setting with DPS Manager doesnt work because it doesnt know theirs headphones plugged in so things get annoying. I Tried different Roms and Same Thing. So is my jack pretty much effed? or is their hope?

Edit: To Clear things up more, YES I do get sound with Toggle App but Phone still doesnt know headphones are plugged in. Cant Change EQ setting to my liking because of this. >,<
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
its possible the jack itself could have gotten damaged somehow and not making proper contact with the headphones. try putting some electrical grease(like those $0.99 spark plug grease pouches they sell at auto parts stores). if it then works with that, that means you'll either have to keep using that stuff or get the jack replaced.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Endoran:
I'm just venturing a guess but I'm pretty sure kies doesn't recognize firmware that hasn't been officially released in your region. If you flashed it with Odin I'm assuming this is the case. If you want your firmware to be updateable via kies you need to flash back to whatever firmware is "official" in your region.

If you're looking for a ROM based off the the stock OTA 2.3.3., Weapon is really popular.

Otherwise, you can stick to the guide and install a nightly of CM7 or, one of my favorites, doniqcc's EaglesBlood which is CM7 based.

That is in no way official and other then the fact I used a more stylized font they still have the same problem as me and use the wrong font.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] verbaltech:
why dont you just edit the images from the official android boot animation.?

I think it should be possible by finding the stock bootanimation .zip file under /system/media with root explorer. copy file to your desktop/laptop ect. then open en edit it with GIMP.

... hmmm i think.

let me know:D good luck
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] shadowofdarkness:
The boot logo is separate from the boot animation, but either way I was editing the originals. But that does not change the fact of creating a 2 when you don't know the font settings to use and don't want to brute force it.

I just had a random thought...ICS on personal computers! By that, I mean ICS running on our x86 desktops and laptops!

I tried Android X86 before. It was very fast, but running a phone O.S on a desktop just didn't feel right.

ICS seems as it may be very good for laptops and especially netbooks. Better speeds, better battery life, and greater security are just a few advanges over Windows.

Personally, I'd love to see ICS running on my MacBook. I believe it would both run and look amazing!

What are your thoughts about this? I for one see ICS running quite well on phones, tablets, and now personal computers!
[Off-topic] Kailkti:
Now I can't see why i would want ICS on my desktop. I wouldn't be able to watch all my movies due to lack of codec support or software simply isn't polished enough. I wouldn't be able to code. I wouldn't be able to properly edit a document or start one. I could go on but you get the jist right? A computer is a computer, and for now ICS is a plaything. Until google thinks about entering the computer scene with android, it will be a plaything.
[Off-topic] jgalan14:
Mm I don't see ICS replacing my Mac or laptop , is way different, sure use a tablet as a full PC and trust me that ain't fun all the time, specially working a lot with spreadsheets, works become so much harder , ICS is meant to be a mobile OS

what i always thought someone should do is release a PCI/PCIe card with a nice dual core ARM chip on it (tegra 2? IDK) and a few gigs of flash memory, to store android. boom. instant androi-based PC. more than enough for a lot of people.

I mean, it'd take a little work to come up with some universal drivers, but it couldn't be that hard, right?
[Off-topic] Colton127:
I just wanted to throw in a little "update": Since Android 4 ICS will be open-source, the guys down at Android-X86 are sure to port it to X86, followed by a good community modding it.

I for one would love to have ICS running on my MacBook Pro, that is, while taking advantage of the Magic Multi-Touch trackpad. That would be epic.

Anyways, I hope to see ICS running well and looking great on all devices. Android 4 seems to be a very good operating system. I played with a Honeycomb tablet the other day and loved it; the UI was very nice and the menus were great. I can't wait to see a similar-looking O.S running on my blazin' Galaxy S II, and, hopefully my future Tegra 3-Powered tablet!
[Off-topic] Colton127:
I'd say that it would be possible to develop a 13" laptop with a Dual-Core ARM chip, 1GB-2GB of RAM, and 4GB of flash (for Android) with a hard drive in UNDER $200. It would sell at $350 (if I were behind it).
[Off-topic] Gusar321:
I'm with Kailkti. I see no reason why I'd want Android on a PC. No reason whatsoever. None. The flexibility and feature set of Android and it's apps is just waaaay too far away from a full-fledged OS.

In fact, I'd go the other way around, the only situation I'd even consider a tablet is if I could run a traditional Linux distro on it. Which will never happen thanks to the closed nature of tablet hardware.

Keep mobile OSes as far away as possible from full-fledged computers, thank you.
[Off-topic] mtmerrick:
I love that concept! i'd pay a lot for it if it had a touchscreen, no sure how interested i'd be if it didn't.
[Off-topic] polobunny:
I think Android is fabulous, but there's enough lightweight Linux distros with much better support for x86 architecture and that aren't touchscreen centered that it's not likely the kind of market Android could gain ground on.

I also think both devices, a full fledged computer and a phone do go hand in hand for some people but are still vastly dissimilar in their usage.
[Off-topic] Colton127:
Honestly, I was thinking of no touchscreen (too expensive), but rather a large, Multi-Touch trackpad loaded with unique gestures and a good-sized keyboard.

You can always look at the ASUS Transformer, too.
[Off-topic] mtmerrick:
reason i never went for the transformer was because as a standalone tablet its nothing special (a500 or others are much better value, isn't that good until you buy a $150 accessory, and then its only something unique used as a laptop - and i don't mind going on my laptop when i need to type something.

but if i can get a 15" touchscreen W8 laptop that i can dualboot W8ARM & ICS on, i'd LOVE that.
[Off-topic] polobunny:
Never at a reasonable price. That's the big problem with touchscreens. Quality ones aren't cheap and cheap ones are of atrocious quality... A good OS with a crappy input method is no better than a crappy OS with a good input method. Either will make you rage because they won't behave as you wished. :P
[Off-topic] Colton127:
Honestly, I cannot think of a reason why you'd want a touchpad on a laptop. I'm using a MacBook Pro right now, and could not think of when I would EVER use a touchscreen, if the screen had one. The trackpad is much better, and the keyboard is just great.

Not to mention the arm strain you'd get from keeping your hand up to navigate.
