[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plipness:
New Part 2 - Does NOT wipe everything - Keeps a locked bootloader

1. Make sure Part 1 is completed.

2. Make sure you have downloaded the Clockwork Recovery file and the Superuser file.

3. Move the Clockwork Recovery file to your tools folder within the Android SDK folder, and rename it to recovery.img (for simplicity).

4. Connect your Nexus S via USB to your computer and mount it as USB storage. Copy across the Superuser file to the top level of your sdcard. (So the first window you see, not in any other folders. The sdcard is just where all the files are stored, don't worry about it too much for now).

5. We now need to install PDAnet on our PC so that Windows can see our Nexus S when we are using the Command Prompt. Install PDAnet from here, select Samsung when asked about the Manufacturer, allow the driver to be installed (because the driver is unverified, don't worry about this!). Follow along with any other instructions. You should be set now.

6. With the latest SDK version, some tools have been relocated to another directory, so we need to make a copy and move them back. Navigate to the directory where you unzipped the Android SDK file in part 1. Inside it, go to the platform-tools folder, and copy both AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll. Go back to the main Android SDK directory and find the tools folder. Paste these two files in there, and we are all ready to use 'fastboot boot' (the boot image command) now.

7. Open a command prompt window (Start > Run > cmd.exe).

8. Change to the tools directory within your Android SDK folder by using the following command (without the quotes and replacing *YOUR SDK* with the path to your Android SDK folder) 'cd c:\*YOUR SDK*\tools'.

9. Make sure your Nexus S is still in the Bootloader Interface (refer to step 9, part 1 of it isn't).

10. We now need to use the 'fastboot boot' command to load Clockwork Recovery onto our Nexus S. In the command prompt, type in the following (but without the quotes, as always) 'fastboot boot recovery.img'

11. Once you are in Clockwork Recovery (it may take a couple of tries, don't panic, just redownload Clockwork Recovery, and complete steps 3 and 10, part 2) it should look something like this:

12. Using the Volume buttons and Power button, select install zip from sdcard.

13. Select choose zip from sdcard.

14. Select the su-version#-signed.zip file you downloaded earlier and apply it.

15. Select yes (there are lots of nos).

16. Confirm it says something like this: install from sdcard complete

17. Select Go Back.

18. Select Reboot.

19. Done! You should still have all your data present on your phone, and have root access!

[TouchPad General] DJ_MiX:
Is possible to just have the Touchpad running Android only?

Or will it always be a dual boot type of thing WebOS & Android?
[TouchPad General] LlirasChosen:
It's already running Android courtesy of Cyanogen with their excellent port that's currently in an Alpha 2.1 release. It is a dual boot and I would think that's the way it's going to stay, so people have a choice, and there's always the ability to remove Android if something happens to the Touchpad,
[TouchPad General] kevina90:
you can do it right now. Its just incredibly stupid being that android is still buggy.
[TouchPad General] fastwanabe:
thank you captain obvious, you did in fact not answer his question at all. I also would like to remove webos ASAP.
[TouchPad General] a40dayflud818:
Plus, for nostalgic reasons, why get rid of webOS? :D
[TouchPad General] Joker Fuel:
Because it takes up precious storage space on us unfortunate 16gig owners, specially since it has no expansion ability on our wonderful wonderful device. Personally i haven't even booted into webos once since cm alpha came out.
[TouchPad General] harveydent:
The CM team has said that it will stay dual boot as they like WebOS. That might change come ICS, though.
[TouchPad General] bed_potato:
i don't think webos is without a single redeeming feature
[TouchPad General] chrischoi:
I've had more issues on WebOS than I've had with CM7 Alpha 2. They need to junx it.
[TouchPad General] muyoso:
I kinda do. The general ui idea is kind of nice, but the implementation of pretty much everything is awful. Eventually I am gonna want WebOS purged from the Touchpad completely and only have ICS on here.
[TouchPad General] r00tb33r:
As a response to thread title: that's the plan. As soon as HP replaces my tablet with one that isn't defective. The more I know about hardware inside these, the more I like them. I think they got a lot of potential down the road if they receive some much needed attention from a good team of developers.
[TouchPad General] Moshe5368:
Not to be a wet blanket here but under webos, you have a 50gb box.net account for cloud storage. Using dropbox under cm7 you have 5gb additional storage plus the option to purchase more. Even with the 16gb limitation of most of the TP's out there, you still have storage options so the question of webos taking up too much space does not fly. There are good features to webos and I think the devs realize that. I still use webos for most of my business related work and use cm7 for playtime. I have been using cm7 for quite some time and am very comfortable with the system. When we have a stable build, then the option to remove webos might be valid but until then, what we have is an alpha build ported onto a device with a stable OS installed. Just my 2 cents........
[TouchPad General] dajogejr:
I have both on my device, if I were forced to choose, I'd remove CM before I removed WebOS.

The app support is the only reason I put it on, the interface and true multitasking nature of WebOS make it superior on a tablet for my needs.

Of course I do have a thunderbolt for my android fix needs.

I think the work the CM team is doing is absolutely great...and it's much appreciated.

But WebOS has been solid, great battery and without issues for my use.

but i changed my partition sizes some time ago, this could be the reason for increased read/ write speed ...
[LG Optimus 2x] miina_tokiha:
looks like all CM built have high benchmark value.

I want to try it, but I need stable ROM for daily use.

maybe I'll try Paul CMCR built after it stable enough.
[LG Optimus 2x] 75markus:
CM is quite stable for me since ages ... use it as my daily ROM

paul´s CM is quite outdated, there are a lot of improvements in the new nightlys...

hope that paul will include nightlys in his kitchen to be up to date :)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ten Ounce:
I just did a trade with someone and got his Epic 4G Touch. He mentioned the phone was rooted but I didn't catch what rom he had on there. The phone was working fine but had all of his information on it, so I did a factory reset so I can get all of my stuff on it. Once the phone rebooted, it shows the Samsung loadup screen with a yellow exclamation point at the bottom of the screen, then goes to a screen that says "Android" on it, then it seemingly turns off. I can't get the phone to load up at all, it just goes to that Android screen and goes black. Any ideas on how I can get this back up and running? Thanks in advance to anyone that can help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ravizzle:
Hold power and vol down, then hit vol up and you should be in odin mode. Just flash a new kernel and rom with that using odin. There are plenty of en in the development section. I like stock rooted deodexed rom with LoSt kernel

Sent from my Galaxy S2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ten Ounce:
Thanks for the response. I did that and it shows a screen that says "Downloading...Do not turn off target!!". I presume I have to flash the ROM from my home computer since I'm at work right now. Is that normal that you would have to reflash a rom after doing a factory reset? I did that on my Evo that was rooted and the ROM that was on the phone originally still loaded up like normal.

FYI: it has Zedomax v3 for the kernel. I think I will try out the stock setup you suggested once I get home.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skykc0401:
in most cases u dont realy need to do wipe date( factory reset) but i dont think is the wipe data messed up ur phone. i could wrong tho when did a factor reset did u wiped the internal storage too? that might cause the problem
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
When you have a custom rom you never want to do a factory restore as it is not a factory rom ..... Use odin to flash a stock rom or download one and put it on micro sd and use cwm to install ... Vol up and power
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ten Ounce:
I didn't realize it would do that. Is it necessary to have a microSD card to install a new ROM? Also, I am looking to have the stock software on this phone, but still keep it rooted to be able to use the hotspot. Would this be the correct link to downloading that? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1282415

Thanks for the help everyone. You guys are why XDA rules the roost! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Yes that is the rom for installing in cwm...., now about sd card go into cwm and mount internal and hook up to computer with usb .....the newer cwm versions can do this some of the first one could not .....if your computer then sees the phone put room on internal and flash if not then you will have to odin or use card
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ten Ounce:
Makes sense. I will give this a shot when I get home in an hour and report back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ten Ounce:

***UPDATE***

I tried downloading the completely stock EG-30 Tar and installed it via Odin. Now I see the Sprint boot screen but it just keeps looping over and over. Im going to try to reinstall again and see what it does....

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ten Ounce:
I'm not entirely sure. He doesn't remember what ROM he had, only the kernel (Zedomax v3) that he had installed. I tried doing the deodexed package first and nothing happened. When I went to the stock package it changed the boot screen to the Sprint version but just loops endlessly. Had I not done the factory reset I would've had more details but I haven't been able to load up anything since then.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
ah okay - in that case, in the dev section of this forum, look for the post:

[GUIDE]Edify script tutorial - Replacing the Google Market

There is a ready-made flashable version of one of the newer versions of the market as an example. You can use that flashable zip to get the market back on your phone now.

If you want to go back to an older version of the market, the thread will show you how to do this.

You'll have to be at a windows computer, or find the equivalent of the tool for a different operating system.

You'll also have to find the vending.apk of the version of the market you want. I'm sure that will not be an issue, given the scope of XDA and all the market versions posted all over this board.

Hey peeps,

Currently I'm in the possession of an HTC Sensation XE, but thinking about making the switch to the SGSII. However, some questions are still there and I was hoping that the helpful community here could help me answer some of these.

How is the Earphone quality? Anyone tried it with some decent pair of headphones yet and is able to tell me their experience?

Could someone with a "stock" SGSII (International model preferably) tell me about the gaming performance on the SGSII? I'm talking about games such as Dungeon Defenders, Wind-Up Knight and PSX/N64 Emulation. If entirely possible with a recorded video.

Same request above for a person who flashed a ROM

How does the SGSII perform with Tegra 2 games through Chain-something?

How is the battery life for both the "stock" SGSII and the Lite-ning ROM?

Could a person with a "stock" SGSII show me their benchmark scores after a reboot of the phone?

Same for a person running the Lite-ning ROM

The standard hardware acceleration which is present on the SGSII. Is the hardware acceleration only being applies to browsing and the UI? or also to applications and games?

In addition to the above questions, how will ICS affect the hardware acceleration on the SGSII? Will it be disabled in favor of the ICS style hardware acceleration or will they live together happily ever after?

My apologies for the kind of weird requests. But I do sincerely hope you guys can help me decide whether to get this device or stick with the Sensation XE.

Regards,

Vex
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Oh man, many questions and I can only give a few answers:

1. Earphone quality is IMO good. As I do not have a Sensation XE, I can not compare it directly. There are some tests (Google search is your friend ;-) which might give a more experience-based opinion.

2. + 3. + 4. Can't say much about gaming performance, as I am not a gambler.

5. I am running a stock ROM (XWKJ1, Android 2.3.5) and battery life is OK for me. With permanent wifi on, no bluetooth, no GPS, permanent Skype and Google Talk, some email, often internet news and looking into xda-developers forum, a nightly charged battery has about 50% in the evening. So, with less usage my phone could work for about two days.

There are many custom ROMs, which are specialized for optimizing battery life.

You have to set your priority between battery life and performance.

6. Benchmark scores ... which benchmark?

On Quadrant Standard, I usually have 3000-4000 with the stock ROMs.

My actual score is about 3400 as I am running CF-Root kernel XWKI8, which is not based on the real stock kernel of my ROM (XWKJ1).

But to have more than 4000 points in Quadrant, I think you have to use a custom ROM specialized for performance or at least overclock the CPU.

7. No custom ROM.

8. Good question. I think that hardware acceleration is in general available for any app too ... but ... if any app will use it, I really don't know. Each manufacturer ans even each phone has a different hardware and therefore need a different hardware acceleration, so that would be a very hard job for a developer to get familiar with all available hardware-specific APIs. At least the app of the manufacturer itself (=> Samsung) should use hardware acceleration.

But I am not sure about even this.

9. Hmm ... complicated question. I heard that the SGS2 or better the hardware of the SGS2 is 100% compatible with IceCreamSandwich. And that's it. I have got no more infos about this topic.

I will think about such issues just before getting ready for flashing ICS onto my SGS2. Hoping that there will be more and official statements up to this moment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -=Vex=-:
Regardless of the fact that you aren't able to answer all the questions, I really do appreciate your reply to these matters.

2 Days on battery, that's quite amazing seeing as my XE only lasted for about 8-10 hours on normal use with Wifi on.

Quadrant scores are also quite impressive, even at stock.

I really do hope that someone can clarify more on the amtter of ICS' hardware acceleration. I'm eager to find out how it differs from the acceleration currently present on the SGSII

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dikai_yang:
I'm on Androidmeda 2.5 with Siyahkernel 2.0. I can typically get about 4.5 to 5 hours of screen time.

It's my theory that the basic ROM itself shouldn't affect the battery life. It's the different init.d scripts of optimization and the kernel that will have *some* effect given that you don't OC/UC or OV/UV. Mostly it should be what apps you run in the background like facebook, skype, etc.

Also I find that having wifi and data always on doesn't affect my battery life too much if I disable background sync.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -=Vex=-:
Thanks for that reply.

4-5 hours does seem a little meager though. Then again my Sensation lasted for about as long as that, if not less.
