i followed this easy root here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285894

with not so easy instructions. i can build computers and know photoshop/lightroom in and out, so no dummy here. struggling, yes.

After i booted into the CWM and clicked "install zip from SD card" it just freezes on a screen with a tophat and a circular arrow underneath.

nowhere in the instructions say if the phone should be disconnected or not at the time, and it never says anything about the kernal having to be on an SD inside the phone.

Please help. Thanks in advance, and if anyone offers a service I will gladly paypal to get help.

Use the home button to select not the power button. Also the back button is back in this version of cwm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: CWM

It's not frozen, click either the home or the back softkeys on bottom of the

screen for it to go into the cwm menu.

the up/down is controlled by vol+ and vol- and the selection is controlled

by the HOME key. The back key takes you back to where you were before.

Good luck!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: roms

Rooting has nothing to do with the version of the rom we are using.

It's good to root if you ever want to download apps and games

from other sources besides the android market.

Also there are a lot of apps which require a rooted phone.

There is no official AT&T 2.3.5 roms for the i777 SGS2 phones yet.

The ones you see around here and on internet are actually test builds and all

of them have issues.

That's why we only see the Perception 2.3.5 custom rom by Designgears here.

The most downloaded custom rom here is the UnNamed 1.0.4 by gtg465x.

In my opinion it is the best custom rom currently available for our phones.

With the Perception custom rom the Touchwiz 4 launcher does not have the

really nice sorting feature in the drawer, and you cannot change the view from

grid to list either. There are other issues with the 2.3.5 roms too like wiFi that

some people have had a lot of issues with.

For best performance I would stick with the 2.3.4 custom roms for the time being.

As far as kies goes, its best to uninstall it and any usb drivers kies may have installed.

After it's uninstalled its best to reboot windows and install the new unified samsung drivers

which can be downloaded here: http://www.tofuchimp.com/WeGotMedia/search.php?q=Samsung mobile usb driver 4.40.7.0 download

Unplug the usb cable before installing this new usb driver.

Once installed, reboot the computer and then plug the usb cable into the phone.

Good Luck!

This post here is typed through ai type keyboard.

That's a little naughty, and the grammar and spelling leave a lot to be desired.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wmanyati:
guys, fyi even the standard android keyboard has the ability to capture and record everything you type.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] PhoenixFx:
Yes, but they don't send everything you type unencrypted over your wifi network and then over the internet where anyone can sniff it out. I can't imagine how careless and sloppy those developers are.

I only use Swype, I never really felt comfortable installing other 3Rd parry keyboards from unknown companies because of this. I don't believe Swype does this, because for one it works fine offline, and I don't think major manufacturers like Samsung,HTC, motorola etc. would bundle it if there was such a big security hole.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wmanyati:
True, whilst data is sent unencrypted one thing we need to understand fully is that android devices are inherently insecure. Encryption, is just the tip of the security iceberg.

For a start, typically on android you sync your contacts, messages, apps to google. Google knows where you are ALL the time regardless of whether you turn location on or off. google can remote-wipe your device, ask the guy who got a Nexus S with ICS :)

There are a number of apps we install/uninstall on a regular basis that have more permissions than they require and there are probably a lot that get taken off before they become public domain. I totally get that sending stuff plain text is BS. The points I'm trying to get across are

1) The Android platform is inherently insecure

2) Just because something is encrypted won't make it more secure. There are various points for security to fail for example the the thumbs behind the message is a point of failure as is what happens within the cloud.

Also bear in mind that from the guys providing the service encryption could be a pain as it would slow down their service which would impact the end user.

its an interesting one.....

undisclosed permissions

NEWB HERE

I learned they keep most of the worst permissions undisclosed by the app store with the code: android required "false"

I have tried to edit the android manifest but could not repackage.

If there are any developers who can take a stab at modifying this app and removing all the bad permissions, C2D stuff, and the XML strings and then post it on XDA, that would be so nice because this is an otherwise great app.

Hi dear,

I'm currently using iPhone 4. I sold SGS II a month ago and bought iPhone 4 white because of its design!

But one of my friend bought SGS II today and it was very attractive to me again..

So I'm considering to get SGS II again!

I'm a bit worrying about the quality of apps..

Actually the apps I'm using are all in android market (apart from some books and apps for study) but I was so disappointed in the quality of these apps..

Look so BETA and some apps are not even as fast as iOS apps such as facebook and fruit ninja..

By the way, I do love Super Amoled + screen and the size of it.

If I was going to get it, which color would you recommend me?

and when do you guys think SGS II will get ICS?

I'm thinking to get Galaxy Nexus as well but I read one article that ICS will support the gpu in SGS II, which mean it will fully function in ICS!!

SGS II will be super fast and have great graphic(I mean better than in GB)!!

So excited!

Please give me some advice guys. Thank you!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Many questions and it leads to philosophical answers.

Apple's iPhone against Samsung's Galaxy SII ...

Apple's iOS against Google's Android ...

Black against white ...

So, my recommendations in short form:

1. Make sure what you really want.

The freedom of being the master of your device, so that you can decide what to install and configure on your smartphone?!

Or is it more important to you, to have the save and easy way, best option always pre-selected for you?!

2. Technically focused?

If you want a specific technology or need explicit technical features, minimum requirements, etc. then download the technical datasheets of the phones and search the feature you need and compare the specifications.

3. Future trends and development

Both parties seem to be available and actively maintaining their products (devices and software) for the next years.

The main part of buyers will set the tendency, which side will become stronger.

There are some future trend analysis of research institutes, which come to the conclusion, that Apple's iOS, Google's Android and Microsoft's Windows Mobile could be the winner in the future mobile market.

If the analysts have all proper information to come to that conclusion, or if it is just a smart guess, or if they are wrong, or this will become a kind of "self-fulfilling prophecy" ... I do not know.

Sometimes we have to wait and see what happens in reality. That could be more exciting than planning for "moving" target.

4. Forget about all I have written except the first point.

That will lead you to the best phone for you in the moment !

Is it possible to use my GS2 on att’s ‘go phone’ plan. I can get the ‘voice’ to work but not the ‘data’. I took the phone to att and they put in a sim card from a display phone and the data worked just fine. So I know my phone is not ‘broken’. But my rep said that no 4g phone will work with the data network. That I would need to buy a contract. But I just want a little data, not enough to warrant buying a contract. I’ll stick to Wi-Fi on my home network. But is there a way to still use my ‘go phone’ account with the data att sells for it?

I have a gophone SIM that I use whenever I'm in the US and I've used it in all my phones, not the SGS2 yet but I have used my last phone, an SGS.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kikenovic:
Yes it is possible to use a Gophone SIM with the Galaxy S2. Depending on the rom, you may need to setup the APN manually. Something I just noticed is that I cannot download any app form the Market. Also, I cannot download from sites like wupload, filesonic, uploaded, etc.

FB, Pandora, Gmail, Youtube, G+, Twitter, the Kitchen, web Browsing work fine. Small downloads from the Slidme Market work, but bigger downloads break at random points.

The safest method to check is to connect a JIG an try to rest the counter.

If successful, your phone is running the old bootloader. Else you have got the new bootloader.

Hi, everybody. I've just bought HTC evo 3D. But i can't connect device with HTC Sync (version lasted, i download on htc.com/www/support.asxp) . What problem ? Can U help me please. Thanks U :o
[HTC EVO 3D] joeykrim:
The common method of solving drivers issues involves rebooting Windows, testing if it works. Rebooting the device, testing if it works. Rebooting both, testing if they work.

Uninstall the drivers, reboot, reinstall the drivers, test. Reboot, test .. I think you get the general pattern. If there aren't separate drivers then probably replace the phrase drivers in my directions with HTC sync.

Also, there are some drivers which come with the android-sdk you should attempt to test with. I think they might work also with fastboot mode.

Personally, I'm in ubuntu and have no driver issues with the device. Plug in and it works! Hopefully that helps!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Kanalcommander:
I hope the title says all.

Galaxy Note has one hardware button and two sensor buttons as far as I know while ICS uses software buttons which will be displayed at the bottom edge.

Will ICS recognize if the device has hardware buttons and use them Instead of software buttons?

Or will they just be useless?

P. S. In a new blog from this morning (Androidpit.de) I found this:

http://www.androidpit.de/de/android/blog/399093/Android-Ice-Cream-Sandwich-und-Hardware-Buttons-It-just-works

“ICS does have onscreen buttons but not always. If there’s a device with hardware buttons the onscreen buttons won’t be there, and the hardware buttons will act and function as you’d expect them to…. back and home will function as you’d expect, the search button will query the search bar (as you’d expect), and the menu button will query the menu overflow in the action bar.”
