[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christian5916:
Ok there are plenty of guides around here but I'll try to help you....

1) Root your device

2) Download Rom Manager from Market and install a recovery from there

3) Do a Nandroid Backup from recovery

4) Make a copy of such backup on your pc

5) Install your firmware

You should not have any problems going back to stock if needed

I want to come back to froyo...i m fed up of the non sync issue of gingerbread ...please tell ne how can i...ciz m on xxkpm and i have read somewhere that downgrading may cause roblems:(.

I m sorry to create a thread...

Its for all those who regularly use their sync functions like mail whatsapp etc...

Edit::::if found in appropriate u can dlete this thread
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Misledz:
I don't call this inappropriate rather there was a fix posted to get gmail to sync properly. It was a GB fix posted by jaskir i think? You may have to look at that, also I doubt froyo would save you, i love how you would sacrifice 9/10 good options in GB just for the sake of sync issues, take note that gmail has changed their code so sync issues will be pertaining even in froyo

PS - i dont understand what you call as non sync but you definitely don't know how to explore and set up your phone I shall post a pic shortly

On wifi it works for all of us

on data transfer falls asleep when the phones screen goes off

fixes for the data thing were posted in another thread

when u have the same issue on wifi, you either messed up the flashing (more than once, which i guess is unlikely) or your device is faulty

[TouchPad General] mmontanaa:
After updating to webOS 3.0.4 I am unable to get ACMEInstaller to do install-reinstall Mboot or anyother zip to try and return the touchpad to dualboot status. As of now I can´t get into CM7 at all.

I´ve tried a factory reset of WebOS using webDoctor and then reInstalling CM7 but to no avail. Any advice?

:confused:
[TouchPad General] amenditman:
What does the unit do when you reboot it?
[TouchPad General] mmontanaa:
it just boots webOS. One thing I've noticed that I think MIGHT BE different is that the HP icon flashes up on the screen right before the USB symbol pops up when holding down the vol up button.
[TouchPad General] ice_coffee:
This has been covered extensively, all you have to do is reinstall MOBOOT, and you will be able to get back to your unharmed previous installation of CM7
[TouchPad General] mmontanaa:
Yes that was done and wasn´t the problem. Thanks anyway. Figured out was was going on.
[TouchPad General] harveydent:
So what was the problem and solution?
[TouchPad General] mister timely:
you HAVE TO re-enable developer mode on the touchpad when you have a fresh install of webos before acmeinstaller will work.

that's the solution.

I found on the net a treat to make a fold transition animation. I'm sure lot of other forums in XDA already have this.

I made a lil video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQoIAmjBBOc

The file to download and instruction are also in the description.

Note:

Make a NANDROID BACKUP before doing this.

Copy your own framework-res.apk to somewhere else to return to stock.

the file I posted in YouTube also has the CRT screen off and rainbow battery % mode included.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
yep. I used to use these in my older themes. You can get an app from the market called anim mod that will do this one plus a few others with the push of a button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sweetboy02125:
Yup, That's another solution. However, I like to do things manually to eliminate installing too many apps for my phone, especially "to replace system files" :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] illathanyours:
I think I heard it doesn't.

But you can back up and try

I think it just replaces/edits an XML that doesn't necessarily have anything to do with being able to get into recovery. So restoring shouldn't be an issue.

Whoops! Sorry posted the wrong forum.

Can anyone confirm that Skype works on the Note and specifically can one switch between the front and back cameras?

I have a 7" Galaxy Tab and can't switch the camera as the option is not available and want to know if the option is avaiable on the Note.

Many thanks.

I can confirm both receive and sending video works. Including both camera's with the switch option without any tweaking required.

I'm looking for a face-out holster, or some kinda holster/case combo that protects the camera with a flap like the Seidio Convert (not available for SGS2).

My screen has a scratch protector film on it, but my camera is naked. I like to put my phone in my backpack sometimes but I'm scared that the camera will get scratched. Also, I'd like the ability to quickly glance at the phone on my hip instead of taking it out of the holster to look at it. A face-out holster would solve these issues.

The face-out holster is why my iPhone 3GS' camera is still new :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Ghost Armor, either full or front and sides, comes with a piece just for the camera square, not rectangle, just the actual square. And ghost armor comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Not the answer you were looking for, I know, but going this route let's you choose any belt holster and still have the camera protected.
[Motorola Droid X2] flanker1743:
I looked for another topic about this same issue but didn't find one. Many apologies if I missed it.

I've been having awful wi-fi issues on my x2 running stock 2.3.4. It was just fine with every other version we've gotten, but it seems recently that where I once got a full signal connection, i'm barely able to find the network. When it does connect, it's with minimal strength. I wanted to see if other people were having the same issue or if maybe it just got knocked the wrong way in my pockets or something.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Is it ur home Wi-Fi router? Did u try resetting the router? I have seen some issues fixed(although different than what u mentioned ) can't hurt to try it.
[Motorola Droid X2] flanker1743:
I'm on multiple networks each day and the story is the same on each network. Though I did not reset the home router, other devices have no issues connecting to it or with strength.

Guess it's probably just me. Thanks for the thoughts!
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
Explain the process the phone goes through, does it try to connect at all? Humor us and reset your home network. I understand other things connect fine, but alot of people with similar issue report a router reset works. I had the problem several times and a reset fixed it. Multiple other devices connected fine. Always after update or flash.

Finds network, attempts to connect, obtaining ip address, disconnected.

If this is not your issue its probably hardware, bring it back
[Motorola Droid X2] flanker1743:
Well it does connect to my home network, and a router reset didn't show significant improvement. I know that issue and it's happened where none of the devices on my home network can connect, and a router reset fixes that no problem.

I guess my initial complaint was more of a signal strength issue. It does still connect, but it has about half as much strength as before, on multiple networks, in the same locations I used to get full signal. So it's probably hardware. Thanks!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lgsshedden:
so on the Galaxy S I9000 there are a slew of codes that can be used to access the engineering menu for the phone, change the csc file etc. -- change the enabling structure of the phone in effect.

So my question is: how do you (a) access and (b) change those codes for the galaxy Tab 10.1 when it is a version (4g Rogers in Canada) that does not have a phone dialer?

do you install a modem to activate a dialer? or does the sim card control that availability on the Tab 10.1?

anyone played with this yet? is there another way to access the codes not using a phone dialer?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwangen:
There is an app that Samsung uses called Factory Mode. It brings up a calculator looking interface which allows you to enter numbers and # signs etc. Don't get too excited though. Most of the I9000 codes don't work just giving a Wrong Format error. I don't know if you need this special app or if any calculator app will work.

How do I know? I just got my tab back from Samsung after sending it in for service and it came back with the factory mode app on it.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jtdc:
I wonder what's the purpose of that "Factory Mode" for end users, aside from saving time as lock screen/mechanisms are completely nonexistent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] letrain02:
i know its been asked but i'm starting the discussion. there has to be an easy way to flash all these great i9100 roms on to our tmobile t989. i would think its mostly a kernal difference and some hardware buttons. i say this because i love hyperdroid roms (mostly wanted s2 for use of his rom) .with the hd2 all builds worked on all phones (europe,asia,usa,etc) no matter the model number.

i am starting the discussion and will help to develop with my time and limited knowledge (i need people who know more about building these roms) a simple zip file to be flashed through cwm. most builds use a base version, then have roms and etc over the top of them. so there must be a way to find a base version you like for any i9100, flash over cwm, then flash a "kernal" of sorts that "adds in or takes out" what is needed for android to run on our t989.

any thoughts? anyone want to discuss this? i have the time (as much as possible, my gf keeps saying "why dont you just make your own and quit bit$%ing").

also i saw a kitchen for building roms for s2 but not sure if its t989 compatible.

lets get to work, our phone is new but the i9100 is already cooking along, we can piggy back and make our phones just as awesome!

Reading from the tittle of the thread, please dont do it! Just fall back..:P
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
So I understand you're not going to try to flash it but you're wrong about the major hurdle: Its the different processor. Since we have different hardware we're not talking about a slightly different radio, we're talking about two completely different devices branded as the same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] letrain02:
i realize its hardware, but isn't that all controlled by the kernal? it holds the drivers. it would be like "porting" take a rom everyone loves, make the hardware drivers work, then flash. like i said i'm limited knowledge but i want to start work on this. its a hardware thing i understand. but there must be something we can do to ease the process.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:
To sum up what Kevin said : It's like flashing a sensation rom on our sgs2...(Right?)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] letrain02:
but sense has been ported to other non htc devices. my point is it can be done. we should talk about it and get a discussion going. i'd be more then happy to help "port" other roms that are out for s2 varients
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
kenVAN its my first and last name pushed together :P But yes.

Porting sense to non-HTC phones requires massive amounts of work and open source. Yes, it is possible but whether or not its feasible is a different option. You're right that the kernel is the main difference but even so its much more work than simply adjusting the kernel since there are soooooo many differences. Cashy put it well: you're porting a ROM from effectively a Samsung device to an HTC device. The only similarities are the screen and touchwiz. If you want to give it a go, I'd wait until we have a full ODIN tar to help you recover your phone because you're going to get a few bricks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Michael.fri:
Well good luck to us all.

got my T989 few days ago, and I find it much better than the usual i9100 that everyone have on every aspect, except for the lack of support and android development. I regret I based my decision solely on technical spec rather than checking the verity of available firmware and development.

I live and use this phone in Israel, and that stock T-mobile rom I got with it is loaded with lots of irremovable T-mobile apps. Those are irrelevant for me. But the real issue is about the RTL support. I now have to read Hebrew text backwards (taht ekil hpargarap eloh a daer ot yrT) in some text fields. And it won't let me use the mobile hotspot by saying my sim card is not supported. I can't see why it connects to the internet (it does, checked my APN settings twice and it configured right) but won't let me use that hotspot.

Can't these changes in the level of GUI be implanted from other equivalent roms as source code? Does these minor changes take so much work? Before overclocking my phone to 1.89 Ghz I would rather get the basic functions done.

And I'm willing to donate, and to help in any way to promote this project.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] anomy13:
I tried a similar thing with my LG optimus 2x (I have model p-999 which is really t-mobile's g2x) by accident. Even though the variations are named optimus 2x and the specs are almost identical, firmwares just aren't compatible with one another.

I flashed a optimus 2x firmware (p-990) to my p999 and I bricked my phone. At this point, even clockworkmod could not recover it. I had to manually partition a t-mobile g2x recovery file one by one on DOS mode to fix this. Finding this solution was like finding a needle in a haysack. I thought there was a good chance that I flushed $400 down the drain when this happened.

So, lol I dont recommend it knowing that gs2 is even a higher price to pay. Hope this helped.:eek:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
It sounds like youve got porting perfectly understood. The devs havent been able to do it, you should explain how porting works to them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shnn2011:
The problem is not just the kernel. The software is most likely compiled specifically for the processor. If you were talking about linux . . . it would be easy because the source code is there and you can compile it for whatever processor you want, but it seems Samsung is a a company who believes in leeching off off open source and mixing their proprietary crap in it then keeping the sources closed and giving the open source community the finger. Just look at how they handled the vertical lines screen issue. Its all about money to Samsung.

Its not as impossible as it may seem(for the experienced dev) if u look in the dev section android88 has ported hellybean from the 9100. I'm learning & I've only gotten a bootloop at worse, haven't bricked yet lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
It is possible with a port. The thing that brocks your phone in flashing an i9100 ROM is the kernel. If you switched the kernels, you'll just have a boot loop or no boot. Flashing another devices kernel is the killer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Its not that easy. It the more similar to porting over a ROM for a Sony Xperia. Does that sound easy. Its just a name but inside very different

---------- Post added at 10:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:44 PM ----------

Oh god not true at all people have already bricked their phone by flashing i9100 ROMS. Needs to be said before somebody bricks their expensive device.

---------- Post added at 10:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 PM ----------

Its just logic. If its that easy try it and youll learn the inside out of why. Put in a similar amount effort you are asking the dev to put in by learning something about the challenges you are asking the dev to overcome instead of assuming devs arent putting enough thought into it
