[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelossssss:
Hello,

I have cognition 1.6 and everything is fine by now, but i want to try something different on my SGS2.

I had cyanogenmod on my hd2 (android) and i liked it a lot cause of it's customizing abilities.

So i'd like to ask for your opinions.

Is cyanogenmod as stable and good as the cognition rom on SGS2?

Should i flash it or stay with cognition?

Thanks all!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
It runs well, not stable but stable enough for daily usage. Downsides are that the camera is much poorer than original.

If you like cognition do a nandroid and then try out CM7, if you don't like CM7 on the SGS2 you can always restore back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
As nikzDHD already said:

CM7 is relatively stable, but has too many bugs for daily usage. I had it for some time, but it had random crashes, freezes and changed my ringtone randomly. Create a backup and try it out.

You said that you like customization. If it's that what you like, I recommend you to try MIUI. It's the most customizable Rom I've ever seen.

If you are disappointed by both of them, you can just restore your backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrnovanova:
I'm using CM7 and i'm on Nightly #95. I guess the guys who answered you haven't tried the recent nightlies. There is a stable version available but the nightlies are awesome. Highly recommended. Try it out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikzDHD:
I've tried them last one I tried was version 96, just taking a break from CM7 while I try out some Sammy based roms, there is NO stable version, only RC, which was based on a much earlier nightly and things have improved since then. I have no issues with CM7 apart from the camera hence switching back to a Samsung based rom as I needed to record some footage :-) and take photos.

That's my only gripe with CM7, there are fm radio issues but I don't use that.

But yeah, as mrnovanova mentioned its good enough for daily use and I for experienced no freezes and such.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] angelossssss:
Thanks everyone.

After some thinking, considering also your replies i'm staying with cognition.

Exept if you have a better rom to suggest.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
You're right. I haven't used the nighties. I would wait for as stable, a people on the forums are reporting problems. It's just not 100% reliable yet.

@angelossssss:

As I said. MIUI is definitely worth trying. If you don't like it, just restore your backup.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowdmt:
ive just come from the miui rom to cyanogenmod 7.1, the muiu rom is awesome, very customizable and feels quite different from normal gingerbread that we are all used to but...

I have the i9100p (orange uk nfc version) and I couldn't get the nfc to work. I tried the fix that Nathan created over at this post...

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1204&order=desc&page=1

Didn't work, installed the zip (twice as someone said that worked for them) but no joy. So thought id give it a whirl on a different ROM. In came cyanogenmod 7.1

I haven't had any crashes so far (granted i've only been using it for a day). Its got a lot of features (like adw launcher and rom manager). Best of all battery life is way better and I seem to have a 3g signal more of the time.

Unfortunatley ...... nfc is still not working

Someone needs to port this for our LG Optimus One P500.

We all know that Adhoc doesn't work on Android. I've also seen a few thread recommending the use of alternative software on the PC. But one must understand that these software do not support all WiFi adapters and/or need specific OS in order to operate.

If one of our dev can port or make a fresh one, we could vote to make it a "Sticky".

I request you comment your opinion about this.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Download the "wpa_supplicant" from the link below and replace it with the one in your rom. It should work.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novas242001:
Connectify requires Win7, I'm running WinXP. Also, connectify does not support all adapters.

You can checkout the list of adapters which supports connectify:

http://support.connectify.me/home?page=2

Also, was referring to Ad-Hoc, not "Access Point".

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novas242001:
Will definitely give it a try :). Anyway, about the "G3 AdHoc Wifi Thread" by "jinxskore", it supports even old onboard laptop adapters which is why we definitely need this. You don't need to download any additional application/software....it will detect the AdHoc like an access point which is absolutely cool. Google could have added that with their updates but God knows why not.

I still think one of our dev should make one. I would if I could but I just started using android a month back and rooted yesterday.

What is adhoc?
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] novas242001:
Thanks a ton. Before I proceed, is it possible to just copy it through "Root Explorer" instead of flashing it? This is because I'm on stock 2.2.2 rooted and planning to stick with it for a while.

Also, is there a post dedicated to this particular "supplicant"? Would be really handy if there is one. If not, you could make a sticky :)

Okay, replaced the wpa_supplicant using "Root Explorer" and YES I can confirm it is working. Thanks a ton. :)

Here, I was referring to "PC-to-Phone" wireless connection which allows internet sharing from the PC to the Phone (not Phone-to-PC) without using any particular OS (eg. Win7) or PC Software (eg. Connectify).

Take a look at the link in the original thread and you'll get the idea of what the post is all about.

problem

so i am able to see the adhoc network i have at home, but now my issue is i am apparently unable to connect to said network. i click connect and it just dismisses the prompt, but with no change to my connection state. ive rebooted the phone many times, disabled data to ensure nothing is coming from 3g, and tried multiple times, so now im at a loss. im also unaware if this has affected my ability to connect to regular networks as i have none available to test right now. any help would be great tho, im still learning my way around adb but these are the commands i used.

adb remount

adb push system/bin/wpa_supplicant /system/bin/wpa_supplicant

adb shell chmod 755 /system/bin/wpa_supplicant

and i was instructed to use this as well but it came with an error

adb shell chown system.wifi /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf

---------- Post added at 09:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:57 PM ----------

so i tried again with that chown command after a restart and it went through, and now it still sees the adhoc network, but once i try to connect it just adds it to the bottom of the list saying out of range, and i try again with no results..

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

maybe someone could provide me with this as an edify ready zip? i couldnt use the other because my recovery doesnt support amend anymore. that would be awesome

1) First of all I enabled sharing of LAN card

2) Wifi & LAN were not getting enabled at same time (LAN was given auto precedence), issue was resolved by disabling switching of LAN/WLAN in BIOS

3) Installed Connectify

4) configured it to share my LAN connection over WIFI

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pfrolim:
My phone is a LG p500 rooted, android 2.3.3 original LG ROM, and my sdcard is partioned, I've not updated the kernel yet... I have used ES File Explorer since Root Explorer is now paid and I have no credit card.

I've tried a wpa_supplicant from another forum and now my android just keeps rebooting.

I set the airplane mode and could use ES File Explorer again to restore original file, but, anyway, my phone just works in 3G networks... whenever I turn on the wifi, the phone reboots....

What exactly is this wpa_supplicant, what it does? in linux terms?

Anyway, I'm gonna give a try in this one in this thread...

---------

Update:

Meanwhile, i found out why my original wpa_supplicant was not working... it seems it is not a file, as i was wondering, it is a program... and when i gave it permissions to override, i set wr-wr-wr... but as a program, it must have the EXECUTION permission: wrx-wrx-wrx ... now my wi-fi is working again... but, still, not detecting ad-hoc ...

anyway, i can try again with differente version ;) i backed up my original, and now i know how to fix it... ;)

in case of success, i post here!

---------

Update:

ad-hoc now working! \o/

there are many threads about this subject, so, to help others noobs like me, some notes:

1) root your phone

2) download ES File Explorer on market. it's a free (and very good) alternative to Root Explorer

3) its a good idea to turn off wifi now. better, set airplane mode.

4) in the configs of ES File Explorer, if your phone is rooted, there is an option to mount the /system directory with permissions to write/read and another option to see hidden files. check them on.

5) now, you should navigate to /system/bin/wpa_supplicant and save a copy of this file in a secure location.

6) back to system/bin/wpa_supplicant, press long and in its properties, you can change the permissions of the file to rwx-rwx-rwx

7) now you can copy the wpa_supplicant you found in this forum, to that location, and override the original (dont worry, if you have a backup, its reversible)

8) again, check the permissions of the new wpa_supplicant. it must be rwx-rwx-rwx too. (it's a program, the "x" is needed to execute)

9) that all. it now should work. ad-hoc networks are marked with a (*)... in my case, worked perfectly. My phone is a LG P500 android 2.3.3 original rom.

10) in case of any errors, just try another version of wpa_supplicant, there are some versions here. or, just restore your original wpa_supplicant. remember the permissions.

11) if you have the android sdk in your pc, you can run adb shell wpa_supplicant -v and find out your version... v5 or v6 ... in this forum there are modified wpa_supplicant in versions 5 and 6 ... use the correct according to your rom...

Anyone know if there is any advantage of the charger that comes with the phone compared to a generic micro USB charger?
[HTC Amaze 4G] jmhalder:
They all seem to charge the phone slowly (even the included one). The stock charger is a 1 amp charger, as long as you're using a 1+ amp charger, you'll be fine. Some aftermarket chargers may be lower, they will also work but charge even more slowly. Worth mentioning is that a higher amperage charger will work, but will only charge at the same speed as the included charger.

I also got a cheap micro USB charger off of amazon.com and its a trickle charge and it also makes the screen unusable as in it doesn't take touch input at all it came with a data cable for the computer as well and it actually drained my battery instead of charged it.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobotski:
I'd like to ask if there's a way to enable WEP for the portable hotspot feature on the tab. Currently the only options are either open or WPA2. I'm planning to use my tab as an access point for my DSi. I'm looking for a solution that at most would not require me to root my tab. Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamikaji:
I literally have the exact same problem. I am running the Neutrino ROM ver. 2.2GT on my Atrix 4G, and the only option for security in Portable Hotspot is for WPA2-PSK. Very annoying, because my PSP and my DSi both do not support this standard.

So, is there any way to add in WEP support? I really don't want to go unsecured, because there is a risk of someone connecting and tearing through my paltry 2GB data cap :P

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:39 PM ----------

I apologize for reviving such an old thread, but I suppose it's better than creating a new one with the same topic instead, eh?

Also, just to add: Yes, I am aware that I could just use something like Barnacle Tether (which DOES support WEP), but it uses AD-HOC, which the DS and PSP do not support. I presume that the default Portable Hotspot option in the Neutrino ROM I am using does not use AD-HOC, as I AM able to connect with my DS and PSP when it is unsecured.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] punshkin:
Hi,

i was wondering if i am the only one who thinks that Googles idea to replace the menu button with the action bar on phones is a crappy idea?

all it does is waste screen estate (which is valuable despite bigger screens)

and split the options into multiple parts which is confusing

i hope there will be a setting / tweak or a modification (maybe an option in cyanogenmod ;) ) that hides the action bar and puts it`s contents in the menu-menu that is accessed by pressing the menu-button

(in picture above the action abr would be gone and the "+" and the "edit" options were in the menu-menu)

what`s your opinion on this?

If guest then u need to hit the button below the phone image to set up ur phone to be the main user.

4. Did u sign into Zune? If no then sign in.

5. go with internet browser to cr-developers.co.cc/cwp7.cer and install. the chevron cert.
