[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njackson:
You said in your first post that you just needed to copy this file in. To do this you will need a file manager that will let you have write access to the root directory. Root Explorer will do this, but your phone will need to be rooted if it is not already. There are plenty of guides in this forum on how to do this, but my preference is just to flash the appropriate Chainfire cfroot kernel.

Please also note that once you root your phone your warranty will be void, although there are also guides on the forum about how you can go about bringing it back to stock. Many of the carrier specific stock ROMs are also posted in the forum.

Before you do any of this though, you should note your current ROM details as listed in Settings/About Phone, and after you have rooted, but before doing anything else, you should perform a CWM backup.

Once you have done the copy, I would think you would need to re-boot your phone for anything to take effect, but I can't give you any guarantee that it will work (or not).

I was already rooted and unlocked. Simply doing these two things in themselves don't unlock ATT's locked manual network selection screen. I even tried deleting the CSC directory and files per GTG, and I replaced the APNs Config File, and rebooted, the manual network selection menu is still locked. :-( I'm beginning to wonder if this is hopeless. :-(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I have a US AT&T GSII and unfortunately they don't allow the access to the Network Operator Selection menu, so I'm told if I replace a file and restore it'll get the menu access back for me.

Can anyone who is on the STOCK Galaxy S II International version send me a copy of the file apns-conf.xml from the /system/etc directory via PM or post on here?

I think there's a way to extract it from the Stock ROM, but I can't find that on here, and don't know how to extract just that file. If you know where to get that file let me know too.

Thanks As Always!

re: OK i9100 stock

Ok Bella here is the apns-conf.xml from stock i9100 rom.

I hope it works for you: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=K80RVZYI

Good Luck! Click the THANKS button or I will send you a bill for $20 bucks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Thanks already pressed as soon as I saw this. Thank you so much as always!

I'll let u know how it turns out later tonight when I try it.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
EDIT: Didn't work for me :-(

Was following GTG's advice to unlock the SGSII ATT version's Carrier Select\Scan Menu:

"Delete the /system/csc folder as well as CSCFiles.txt, CSCVersion.txt, and SW_Configuration.xml in /system. Then get apns-conf.xml from the /system/etc folder of an international ROM and overwrite the one on your phone with it. Finally, factory reset after doing those other three things."

I think he thought I meant for APN population. I meant for manual carrier network selection. IE to be able to manually chose which roaming partner my phone registers to like a true unlocked phone. AT&T's version has the menu greyed out. The ROMs all open the menu up, so it's got to be possible. I don't want to use a ROM just for the sake of that feature. Any advice?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IshouldntbeHere:
it looks like an international rom will have to be modded. For example, RCMIX android 2.3.5 for the inspire4g has this option to manually select what ever carrier you want. Its an international rom modded for the Inspire. Maybe ask those guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Yeah but the INTL vs ATT version aren't cross-compatible, yet the makers of CM7 and MIUI have somehow enabled the manual network selection on the native ATT SGSII roms... urghhhh. hehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IshouldntbeHere:
That's because they built the rom from stock android and it was never restricted by a carrier. I believe that some code will have to be rewritten to allow this. Im going to try some things out and see if I can open it. I dont know if I can but it will be fun to try. Well the good news is I think telus is getting the GS2 so and it looks just like ours with lte so you can probably buy one of those and it will have the 4 front buttons with north american 3g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Don't you mean ""4G***"" haha... sorry I just couldn't resist... but I included the stars, just not the disclaimer that it's fake ""4G***"" haha

Anyhow, yeah any assistance u could be would be hugely appreciated. When the Infuse came out it was the only phone of it's type in the world (I know because they were lined up to buy my old one in Thailand last week, lol), so a lot of the stock de-bloated\de-crapped ROMs that came out had the screen unlocked for manual carrier selection AND were based on the ATT original stock ROMmage.

HEHE, if you can figure anything out to enable my Carrier Selection but keep the stock rooted rom I'll offer a $20 bounty for the first one to make it happen, haha. I know it's not much, but hey, it's 5 trips to Starbucks for something you nerds are already screwing around with anyhow, hehe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IshouldntbeHere:
hopefully we can flash the telus image and achieve the carrier selection that way if nothing else works. Same buttons just no LTE from the att version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
I don't wanna wait that long, hehe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] IshouldntbeHere:
im going the the smali code. I believe you can turn on this feature. Hopefully I can figure it out in the next couple of days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Yay, you'd make my day\week\month... not quite year, but close.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Something is wrong with those instructions, if you modify, erase, or replace files in the system folder then do a factory reset, all the changes you made before the factory reset will be undone by the reset. That's what factory reset does, it resets the system and data partitions.

--- Edit added below to the post ---

I would think it wood be something along the lines of modding, replacing the necessary csc files then reboot the phone.

Or extracting the ROM you would like to use, modding replacing the necessary csc files, the repack the ROM and flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
That was my thinking as well, but gtg is fairly good at what he does. I did a backup before and restore after so there was no risk in trying. But I think his process is more to get the APNs populated, not the carrier selection menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
Oh I'm very confident in gtg, and believe he could do this, but I think there must of been a mis-communication between you two on these instructions.

One thing you could try as you say cm7 has the option working is download a ROM, or the stock ROM entropy posted if you want stock and download cm7 - open the cm7 ROM and pull all the csc files and push/replace those files to ROM you want to run (if the ROM you want to run contains any csc files cm7 doesn't just delete them) - then flash ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
CM7 does have the open network search menu, I just like the simplicity of stock.

I'm not really sure how to take the stock rom, add\replace the CSC and needed files, then re-pack it into a ROM. My $20 bounty is still out there if u want to do it for me and unlock my search menu. hehe.

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

Sorry it did not work for you, but perhaps the apns.conf.xml file

is still needed but the phone needs to be unlocked too?

(I have no idea).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bella92108:
Phone was already unlocked :-(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Misterjunky:
re: I forgot!

Oops..... I forgot it was unlocked...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dayv:
If you look in the /system folder there its a file CSCFiles.txt - this file lists all the files that contain csc data and could be a guide on the files you need.

Most of the files are probable the same, and probably the only one you need is the apn config xml gtg told you to try and replace but if you try it and it does not work why not all just replace all of them just to cover the bases.

and I definitely think the cm7 ROM that works on our phone is the place to get what files you need because it obviously works on this phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] nycelitemaster:
I am thinking of porting some o2x roms.. perfect example is like MIUI. What files do we need to update to make it work on G2X. I do have some cooking exp from past.

To my Knowledge, Kernel is one, so i def, got to use new kernel.. System files are same? do i just extract and recook to g2x specs? possible swap ril file? some dev can help with my questions? thanks in advance.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Maybe ask some people in the dev forum. BTW we have 3 miui roms but there is nothing wrong with more roms. Good luck.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
The kernel is the issue!

JBoxer and I have been working on some of these issues with a little progress, but we're not there yet.

MIUI can be ported from O2X to G2X because MIUI uses the CyanogenMod kernel, and there is a CyanogenMod kernel for the G2X, and thus it can just be swapped out. It is definitely possible to convert MIUI Roms to G2X this way.

However, O2X "official" builds require an equivalent kernel for the G2X. Currently we only have ONE 2.3.4 kernel that works on the G2X, and that's from the "leaked" LG-L95G build.

In theory, we can use THAT kernel on any of the O2X 2.3.4 versions to get them working on the G2X. However, it hasn't been done successfully yet. We're missing something, but the problem is being worked on.

Hello Everyone. I am here today to talk to you about Project Pluto.

This is a small update, I have been working with anodized aluminum for a little while and i found that it scratches a bit too often.

That is why I made some design changes, the top and bot of the phone are still dark grey aluminum but the center is composed of the glass in the front and a soft touch material that wraps around the device.

This soft touch material in a bit higher (0.5-1mm) than the aluminum so that when laid on a desk the aluminum does not touch the surface.

The main advantages that this design has is the high durability, better grip and a removable back cover which can lead to a replaceable battery if spares are available.

​

Please leave feedback bellow, I want to make something that people will enjoy using.

Disclaimer FCC and CE logos are for demonstration purposes only.
[General Topics] Dark lord me:
I think this is a great idea maybe you should start a kickstarter page. I would love a phone designed by fans for fans and not just for profit (although i'm sure there would be some)

Also don't forget Micro SD
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Nice looking piece of hardware.
[General Topics] Kailkti:
Looks like a radio... No offense, just stating what I see.
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
Up to 32 gig SD Card, forgot to put it in the specs info. The plan is to ask for funding on kickstarter after a few prototypes are ready,

Funding is needed to buy the parts for the first batch of phones and also for the FCC approval process if it is needed.

And yes, the goal is for this to be a 5 person project, so profits are going to be low.
[General Topics] Dark lord me:
Hey if you get a page up and you have a prototype or two I'd be in i love the idea and I would imagine it would be nexus like with updates

And I bet once this becomes farther along you will have a lot of support from on here.

The look of it reminds me of the N9

Also as someone who is right handed having the power button on the left makes it slightly awkward to reach.
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
Thank you. You see something that needs change?

In what way? and is that a bad thing? What could be changed for it to be more of your liking?
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
When the kickstarter page is up I'll be sure to send you a message,

The design looks a bit n9y and a bit like the old ipod nanos. and some iphone thrown in there.

Also the lock button is on the right, initially the picture of it was supposed to be on top of the "back picture" but it looked weird on Photoshop.

The lock button is on the right, basically the same place the iPhone has it.
[General Topics] nishanty13:
I like the phone. Great specs. What is your target date
[General Topics] Dark lord me:
My personal change list

-Add a little more room to top and bottom and put on a front facing camera

-Round the edges on the top and bottom as well you don't want when people grip the phone for them to have sharp edges and the bottom corners

Also about the power button

-Ohh ok sorry when i was looking at it it looked reversed

Also what kind of screen? i know the resolution but what kind of material for the screen
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
not at all, I'm not an android user but I would readily donate to this project when the time comes. It is on par with Nokia aesthetically and that says something amazing.
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
I got a date in mind for the initial prototype.

Front Facing camera, like NFC can not be added for 2 reasons, thickness. the current one is 11.5mm thick already, and price, the current specs are already quite expensive. a ffc would add another 12 dollars in manufacturing costs. and could not be done with the company we are looking to partner with.

the top and bottom don't feel like hard edges because of the sides are rounded. I've tried many ways to round it but I cannot find a way in which it works well and doesn't look stupid. If you find a way draw it and ill add to the design and see if people like it :)

The screen is regular amoled with qhd resolution
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
It doesnt necessarily have to run Android, it is the most supported open source OS.

but the hardware will be open, meaning someone could port meego or tizen to it.

I'll be sure to send you a message when we have the kickstarter project going.
[General Topics] Dark lord me:
Ahh ok well the FFC and NFC aren't necessities but they would be cool yet i can understand where you are coming from it seems like the cost for the phone itself would be close to the selling price. Also good to know that the edges aren't to rough and are slightly rounded.

Is it possible to get a size comparison between this phone and maybe one or two other ones to give us an idea on what the size of it will be

Ps ohhhh i was hoping for amoled
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
I'll put it next to a iPhone 4 and some other android phone in a bit.

Gonna watch Thor now, when done i'll do that :)

[General Topics] Kailkti:
The back reminds be too much of a radio really with how the speaker grill is designed and the bland back. Plus the object protruding out of the top reminds me of an antenna unless that is simply a arrow.

If you are going for a minimalistic style then you've kept on tune. Just simply not my style.

$1 gets you a reply
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
The grill definitively needs some work. if you see one that you think would look good on this phone please post it. The top thing is an arrow. I lol'ed when you said it was an antenna, ill move it :).
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
Really? I actually think it looks more like the ipod nano 2g than the n9

[General Topics] jfin79:
Pluto
[General Topics] Dark lord me:
I knew i had seen something like it ... anywho I like the minimalist style on the device
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
BTW. here is the estimated size comparison. it would be about the same height as the iPhone 4, but much wider. the iPhone has a lot of unused room above and bellow the screen.

Been thinking about making the glass a bit taller. not sure if it would look good
[General Topics] stackingreasyBBs:
I quite like it, and would probably consider buying it, as I'm a fan of off-contract phones.

Couple questions regarding the aluminum construction:

1) Did you determine that it's cheaper than having it made out of plastic or polycarbonate or something? I always assumed unibody aluminum was sort of a high-end construction.

2) I seem to recall hearing something about aluminum construction having adverse effects on reception. Might want to look into that.

Also, user-replaceable battery (of at least 1800mah-ish?) and microSD card are must-haves. I hate that things are trending away from those :(

Overall though, I love the concept. Good luck!
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
I've been trying to get polycarbonate but it is quite rare, if you know any companies that make it please tell me, but Nokia is sucking all of the one available in the market .

About the reception, it happens when the antenna is in contact with the aluminum, it wont be on the phone.

microSD up to 32 gig is an option, but user replaceable battery is not because the battery that will be used on the phone is not available for individual purchases.

I know the battery is a problem but depending on the amount of funding we may offer discounts on 3rd party portable batteries. ( this is on the " if we are very lucky" part of the white board)
[General Topics] stackingreasyBBs:
No, I don't know jack about the manufacturing side of things. Just curious.

Bummer about the battery. But I guess as long as it's beefy enough it might not be a big deal.
[General Topics] Dark lord me:
Agreed as long as it's a good battery it doesn't matter if you can remove it or not
[General Topics] Dark lord me:
Would and up-speced ICS nokia phone be that bad...
[General Topics] sygeek:
Nice idea, I'd say go ahead! Nice name you got there too. The specifications looks pretty good for the price.

[General Topics] xaccers:
I can't see Nokia being too happy about the design, but then, they might be being sued by Apple for the N9/800 design by then :D
[General Topics] z33dev33l:
Microsoft and apple have a cross patent agreement so I sincerely doubt that apple would touch Nokia. Not to mention, with sharp corners, polycarbonate backing, and no UI rip off they'd be laughed out of court. The galaxy S vibrant was intended to look like an iPhone.
[General Topics] xaccers:
Depends how desperate Apple are then, they've already tried arguing that a different shaped tablet is a copy of theirs, so with a slightly larger ipod nano like device isn't that far fetched, and they'd be going after Nokia, not Microsoft, after all it hasn't stopped them trying to get android handsets banned and that has a greater financial impact on MS than having the 800 banned would have.

Either way, my mock up shows Pluto would basically look like a N9, and Nokia aren't going to be happy about that.
[General Topics] cainhunpi:
I got an updated design that I will be posting tomorrow, been hearing the feedback. the new one will include a replaceable battery and a soft-touch middle back but still featuring the aluminum around the phone.

[General Topics] Kailkti:
It looks better. But I still don't like it. Just the overall form factor for me is displeasing. I guess it is too rigid in my eyes, too much of a robust form factor. It gives this feeling of bland too, but that always comes to me when a minilamistic theme comes to play.

Great job, regardless of my personal tastes. I respect anyone who works in designing, regardless of works or success.

[General Topics] Toss3:
While this is a great idea, the design still needs some work. If you look at the n9/lumia, they aren't completely flat, which makes them look oh so yummy(the bezel also needs trimming).

I'd also consider giving this the same type of glass that the n9 has on its screen(it's pretty much perfect). Makes for a much more pleasant touch screen experience.

Would it be possible for you to do a proper render of this in a 3D program?

Also could you post all of the internal spec you have in mind for it?

Note: I am aware that this is a very crappy photoshop
