I'm going to plug in my USB fan and my USB keyboard Light... why? Because I can! lol

lmao! thats awesome. im just curious how the gs2 handles multiple devices being connected at the same time. what i would really like is to have an mhl hmdi adapter connected AND be able to connect my usb mouse and keyboard.

You need an external hub - and the phone needs NTFS support.

I'll add the NTFS modules in my next release, but do note - NTFS drives must be mounted manually to my knowledge.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
When I connect my bluetooth keyboard to my infuse I get a mouse pointer in the middle of the screen. Appearently this is new with gingerbread.

Since no one on the planet knows how to get rid of this pointer, is there any way of changing the look of it? Other threads suggest looking in framework-res.apk for an image, but there's no resource in the apk that has to do with the pointer.

I'm amazed that most of you guys can write apps to make your phones do somersaults, but no one has any idea how to change or remove this "pointless" pointer.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jvanlew:
Never tried a bluetooth keyboard but pairing a bluetooth mouse to a stock froyo Infuse (and any other ROM I've tried it with, Froyo or GB) gives you a mouse you can move around and control the phone with. If you have one, you could try pairing it, moving the cursor out of the way and going about your business. Just a thought.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
im not sure, the keyboard i pair with my phone has a touchpad for the pointer, it's not pointless. maybe froyo could detect if the keyboard had support for a pointer and gb doesnt discriminate? i really have no idea. ive never seen a complaint for this and that's probably why nobody has looked into a mod for it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Cohdee:
Have you tried any different ROMs?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] MikeyFTL:
Thanks for the link, jvanlew. It was probably the most helpful thread on the subject. Just need to find the ellusive pointer.png for the infuse I guess. Not sure why it's not located in any of the framework apks like everyone else. I'm sure as more people get annoyed by it a solution will arise. Perhaps the android sdk has a MOUSE_MOVE of some kind. A tiny app just might do the trick.

Question: I have a dsp manager on my custom ROM but it isn't active however it came with the ROM when I flashed it I can open it up and make ajustments but there isnt differents in sound why ?
[HTC Sensation] datafoo:
We need a lot more information to try to assist you.

DSP Manager is active all the time, it's features may or may not be individually turned on. It functions above and beyond Beats Mods or anything else.

Could be many different things like

1. how are you checking for a difference? (speaker mode hardest to tell, headset is easiest).

2. Did you enable certain features within the app, or simply make adjustments?

3. Which ROM do you have?

I also use DSP Manager on my NRGZ28 and my Xoom ROMs. There is absolutely a difference when enabled for "Headset", "Speaker", and "Bluetooth".
[HTC Sensation] jslim38:
The custom ROM I'm useing is core Droid v2.5 and it came with the ROM when I flash it the funny thing about it is every one that downloaded this ROM can't get the dsp manager to work I'm knot refering to beats that works but the dsp manager it self have it set for head phones and i can make all the ajustments I won't but there's no difference in sound for example I slide the bass all the way up and you would think I would be able here the difference but there isn't or could be that its script that keeps from activating I'm I'm knot sure on that one but its possible I like the dsp manager because I can truly customize the sound unlike beats you can't
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
I'm sure this is being discussed somewhere on this massive forum, but didn't see it in here, so here it is. This is honestly one of the biggest draw backs in my opinion to buying an Android phone. For instance, my mom bought the Samsung Charge which is still on Froyo. There appears to be no plans to take it up to Gingerbread or ICS. That's just sad. The phone is new and she'll be two OS's behind. I have a feeling we'll not see ICS unless we crack it ourselves.

This is what the result of having (or at least attempting to have any open platform). There are so many players with so much freedom that fragmentation is unavoidable. This is nothing new to the LINUX community.

Just look at every time Linus Torvalds and his successors release a new LINUX kernel, it can be any where from days to years before it gets implemented depending on what distro you are running.

This disadvantage is easily over come by the advantages that come from an open platform.

A closed echo system has its advantages as well, but given the opportunity apple would be more than happy to control everything you do with your phone. Flash is a prime example, if apple could they would keep you from using flash ever again, not because that is what is best for you, its because it is one way apple can control you and make more money at your expense.

I believe flash is one more reason apple hates Android so much, because Steve Jobs in a maniacally ego driven rant declared flash dead. Now thanks to Android by next year there will be more fully flash capable phones than not, and eventually apple will have to cave.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rbtconsultants:
What a crock. IOS updates have been laggy failures on old hardware. Siri is not available on old hardware, and other features of IOS have not been made available to older hardware.

Saying it's bad because new versions of android can't run on older hardware is bull****, but trying to say it's not true for IOS is bigger bull****.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
And funny, the guy seems to have cherry-picked some of the worst possible Android device examples.

Admittedly, he limits it to US carriers, and - well, they are the worst since they insist on customized devices that often don't get updates their international brethren receive.

Look at the I9000 and I9100 - both are almost identical to the Captivate and I777 respectively, but they get FAR more frequent updates. #*#$@)*#$@)#$@ AT&T.

The only real advantage for Apple is that they can and will tell a carrier that wants to exert control over the handset to go **** themselves. As others have pointed out, in many cases, iOS has serious issues with backwards compatibility - upgrading a non-S iPhone 3G to iOS 4 would cause it to be a laggy piece of ****.

Whereas Android 2.3 was on many devices a performance and battery management improvement, and if it wasn't - unlike iOS nothing prevents you from flashing back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stalked_r/t:
I could care less about iOS. Granted the article was definitely a hack job at Android from a Apple Fanboi. No matter that though, there is definitely truth to the article as well as setiment stated here that American carriers are asswipes when it comes to updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] calsax:
I have an AT&T family plan, with my SGS2 and three Iphone 4s. I wouldn't give up my Android if Steve came back from the grave and begged, but I wouldn't ask my less than tech savvy wife, daughter, or lazy son to give up their Apple. Both have a place, and we each have a preference. I had an original Captivate, which was, for me, absolutely awesome. It wasn't because AT&T made it so, it was because I took the time and effort to learn about Android, and used the tools available to keep up to date with the OS. I sold my Cappy when I got the SGS2, and sold it for more than I paid for it. To me, the fact that the carriers don't keep the OS up to date is just a minor inconvenience. I have the skills, and with Android, the ability, to utilize whatever hardware I happen to own to its maximum capability. Try that with an Iphone. Not gonna happen.

The original article is full of facts, but doesn't really contribute to the truth. Android is only as good as the hardware you run it on. Same with iOS. If you choose not to purchase bleeding edge hardware, you cannot expect the OS to run well. Try running Windoze 7 on a 486 box made for XP...
[Xperia Play General] dannejanne:
I just noticed that when I plug my Play into my charger, the launcher runs smoother for some strange reason. Like, if I swipe on the screen slowly back and forth the movement is incredibly smooth. If I unplug it, it will have this kind of lag (jumping back in forth in really small increments) when doing the same thing. It's just not as smooth as when the charger is plugged.

What can cause this? Now I want the launcher to be as smooth as when the charger is plugged.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CLShortFuse:
Okay, I'm going a bit crazy here. I have both a Galaxy Tab from Verizon and Sprint with stock roms. I want to take the Settings.Apk and just modify out the Wireless AP launcher activity from AndroidManifest.xml

So I decompile the APK, remove the offending XML section and recompile. Sign it and get this

I/PackageManager( 120): /system/app/Settings.apk changed; collecting certs

W/PackageManager( 120): Signature mismatch for shared user : SharedUserSetting{40554d08 android.uid.system/1000}

E/PackageManager( 120): Package com.android.settings has no signatures that match those in shared user android.uid.system; ignoring!

Maybe I did the signing wrong. Okay, so I take the Settings.Apk from AOSP Gingerbreak (from the SDK Emulator) and plug it in.

SAME PROBLEM!

Okay, so there's a signature mismatch. I try an unsigned apk and I get another issue about not being signed. I research and I read that I have to resign all APKs... So I do. I take all /system/app/*.apk with the matching certificate and resign them. I also take /system/framework/framework-res.apk and /system/framework/twframework-res.apk

SAME PROBLEM!

Does anybody have experience with this and is willing to help me? In the meantime, I'm going to try to find sec_feature.jar from the emulator and plug it in.

Dont sign system apk`s.

so what's the answer, not much help for FUTURE if you don't post the solution... posts like this one above drive me mad...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gblues:
If you're modifying a system APK, as long as you are not modifying the AndroidManifest.xml file, you can just repackage the original APK using your modified files. For example, on my Gravity Smart, I edited the references to a couple tasks out of res/xml/settings.xml using the following process:

0) Make a backup copy of Settings.apk (just in case!)

1) Decompile the stock Settings.apk using apktool

2) Edit the res/xml/settings.xml as needed

3) Recompile the modified package into a new APK (i.e. tempsettings.apk)

4) Use 7-Zip to open tempsettings.apk and extract the compiled res/xml/settings.xml

5) Use 7-Zip to open the original stock Settings.apk and replace its res/xml/settings.xml with my custom one.

The resulting Settings.apk works just fine. :)

This approach may work for the OP if they just want to remove something from their Settings menu. You would only need to edit the AndroidManifest.xml if you wanted to make sure other apps also couldn't access the offending activity. TBH though I haven't tested to see if mods to AndroidManifest.xml work with this approach or not.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Habarug:

So it is an old thread but I have to say, I come across the same problem with settings.apk.

I wanna modify AndroidManifest.xml but couldn't install it back to system. If you delete this line and sign it with testkey:

android:sharedUserId="android.uid.system"

The apk can be installed like normal app but it seems to lose high authority——it FCs when you click on some options. :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torpedo mohammadi:
I think you shouldn't sign a system apk . you should create an unsigned one when compiling . and if gonna installing on phone use adb push .
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fromnowon:
Nope, It will still shows signature issue.

I know most times we don't need to sign a system app after modifying, but this time I am extremely confused...

Anyway thx for ur reply. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BleedingIris:
Hi.. I don't care if this post is 10 years back.

If a detective gives up, then the problem will remain unsolved.

If you have found your answer mark this as solved and give solution in first post.

Solution:

After days of searching (actually a day ),thank Jesus, that I found the answer.

What you see is a signature mismatch. The mismatch can be seen between shared user apks,i.e., if you change a signature of a apk, which has a shared uid , all the signatures of all different apk should be the same. For example, if you modify media providers and sign it with a different signature ,you should also sign downloads, download providers.apk with the same signature, since they have a shared uid. The above lines in the paragraph are just for fun. The real deal here is signature mismatch between the new shared user apk and the old one that you already had,which even though you have uninstalled completely, the system retains the signature and certificates at /data/system/packages.xml. You could remove the old signature manually, reboot(through terminal [reboot recovery ], not from power menu ),then fix permissions and then put your new apk and then fix permissions again and reboot. All this could be avoided if you've just wiped your data partition,which obviously could cost a lot of data and apks. Hope that helps a lot of searchers out there. I'm looking for a way to edit Androidmanifest.xml on the phone itself. If anyone can help, please do.

I've been using an ISGS2 on AT&T since May. If you're on a legitimate 4G plan you can use the APN settings from the Infuse and ASGS2. If you're on a 3G plan you have to use the Cingular APN. The speeds are the same. The 4G APN is routed through seperate servers and it appears that's the way they catch unauthorized tethering and apply throttling for data overages so be warned. Since it's an international device the IMEI won't be in the AT&T database so the data for non-Smartphones $10/15 plan will work on it for any one starting new service.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eallan:
The speeds were NOT the same for me. On my ISGS2 changing to the infuse settings halved my pings and increased down/up speed noticeably.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BarryH_GEG:
A couple of weeks ago I was traveling though TX with a friend that had an Infuse on a 4G plan. My ISGS2 is on a 3G plan. We compared speeds multiple times in multiple 4G cities and I got the same speeds if not better. A couple of people have said they've seen a difference but to the majority it's the same. If you look at the ASGS2 forum there's tons of posts about people getting caught tethering and being throttled for overages. There doesn't seem to be a big advantage to routing through their 4G servers for anyone but AT&T.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eallan:
Thats wild. I live in houston. I noticed a significant difference just changing back and forth APNs. 0 issues with tethering as well.

So what plan do you have exactly? I'm gonna order this phone within the next 2 weeks and was gonna put it on a pre-paid go phone plan. But if you get HSPA speeds on post paid for 10-15 dollars I might go that option.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spider_Pig27:
if your planning on getting it on a pre-paid plan try using H2O

I personally hate at&t but idk its just some advise
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BarryH_GEG:
Any calling plan lets you add the data for non-Smartphones plan to it. It's $10 with unlimited messaging and $15 without. The $20 unlimited messaging plan's a great deal because it comes with Mobile to Any Mobile calling. If most of your calls are to mobiles, you can get a low limit calling plan which helps offset the costs. Also, you can get a postpaid contract-less plan from AT&T if you bring your own equipment so there's no commitment of any kind.
