ughhh

trust me...stick with the telus rom. its actually better code then tmob. newer drivers and less debug code. I tried the tmob and its gawd aweful. if u want goodies...slap a kernel on it then theme it. best way to go imho.

Later

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
haha, i only know how to follow step by step's for this stuff

i can only hope ppl switch over to the telus code i guess

Im trying to find how to root w/o flashing a rom though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
For Telus you don't need to change roms when you root.

I'm running the stock rom on my phone with a modified kernel to allow the phone to run faster and the v6 memory mod as well as removing the clock from notification bar.

Installed Titanium and removed a bunch of the crap that came stock with phone too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Do i install a kernel the same way i install a ROM? Aka through CWM? And if so,which do you use?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
I was using Jugs kernel but I switched to Synergy and like it better.

And yes.. I just download it to my sd card and install it thru CWM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Get the recovery.tar from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315390

Flash that through ODIN (PDA mode in ODIN, Download mode on Phone)

Then, place the SU update (http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-3.0.5-efgh-signed.zip) on the root of the SD card. Reboot to recovery, select install zip from SD Card and select the SU update. Reboot and you're rooted without having to use another ROM.

The reason why you keep getting a 3G signal when you are getting 4G speeds is because you are using a T-Mobile ROM. The way the Telus one works, if you don't have a ROM that is based off of Telus's source code, even though everything works perfectly fine, your signal will be "3G". It's really only an aesthetic thing, as the speeds themselves are 4G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rayman25:
So what kernel do you recomend.

and is it the telus kernel with sudo rights ????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Not sure for kernel, I just used the stock one. I just finished flashing Synergy, haven't tried anything yet! I seem to have this issue where I need to re-search for my network after going into download mode (normal behavior?) so I need to get that working before I want to benchmark.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pellel2:
I fully tested a custom juggernaut rom and a rooted Telus stock rom and the juggernaut rom is waaayyy better. Smoother more options as well as better signal. True it says 3g but actually I get better speeds than stcok Telus rom. In my opinion after several tests don't use stock Telus. It may be better code than T-Mobile stock rom but custom juggernaut rom is way better
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Thanks guys!

Ive got it rooted with the lightning blue theme going, and froze a bunch of apps with Titanium that i hate seeing running in the background.

one last question though(i think)

I once had a Fascinate, when i flashed a voodoo mod kernel and tried to remove it, the phone became bricked and the entire insides of the phone had to be replaced

Can flashing a kernel mess with the boot loader(which i assume is cwm)? Is there anything i need to do differently when changing kernels as well, cause so far with ROMS ive just been resetting and flashing with ease.Also do Roms come with kernels, so flashing a rom will either go back to default/other kernels?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Pellel2:
Some roms come with their own "approved" kernels. just read the changelog of the rom sometimes it says there if it comes with a custom kernel or not. Again, the rom is just one portion of the entire system and they can be independently changed if you know how.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Liquid5n0w:
The 3g icon means nothing, you still have the same speed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
It's just a bug in the Telus ROM. Your speeds are still 4G, just that the icon is 3G because you are using a T-Mobile ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] malouin66:
hello

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kriEv:
General knowledge about rooting your phone. ALWAYS do a nandroid backup once you achieve root in case you need to return the phone.

2nd. You can use any ROM, they all work fine.

The new kernels that are coming out are based off the Telus one. It has updated drivers and less bugs.

The loss of a 4G icon means nothing, the speeds are the same, i can hit 18mbps in my area and it's still a 3G icon.

Currently running Juggernaut 2.0 with Synergy Kernel 3 and it's awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] menasht:
Are you sure?

When I go to Settings > About phone > Status, the "Mobile Network Type" shows HSPA... My speed test is definitely not showing 4g speeds, but that was also true before...

Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:

How to use Tmobile roms on telus t989d

Simple worry free canada fix for bell or telus,

There are some great roms available for the tmobile t989 if you want to install them on your telus s2x (t989d) you will need to do one more step......(foxstar rom is one exception and there may be more that come with a good modem for canada) but to be safe and worry free....

find the telus modem google it (search (telus t989d rom) and then choose the ultimate root guide result then go down to the telus modem link..... then install whatever rom u like, they are much better than the stock tmobile and telus roms and then flash the telus modem after you have flashed the rom (exact same method as a rom)......then you have the correct modem for canadian networks telus or for me bell 4g and its all good!!!

enjoy!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
So many questions, so little punctuation. Lol.

Okay: most roms do come with a kernel. Some don't. If it doesn't say, assume it does. Afaik, it just won't boot if you don't have a kernel. As for changing kernels, I have never heard of any issues. If you go to the development section, go to the Tuesday ROM thread, and get the kernel cleanser package, you can flash that before changing kernels. It will also wipe your cache and dalvik cache... (which you may have forgotten to do on your fascinate come to think).

I personally run the Tuesday ROM, and absolutely love it. I'm on Telus. My icon says 3g, but I'm certain it's still 4g speeds... Can't really tell up in North Alberta. Around here, if you are trying to text someone during break time....yea that just isn't happening. so I haven't been able to access these "data tweaks"really...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
I hate not being able to edit...

I have NEVER flashed a different modem... I don't think the modem is replaced when you flash roms. Ill ask my Dev and figure this out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Just flash, if it is n issue I can create a CWM zip wit all telus settings for u with modem in..

I use telus aswell n usin 2.3.6 custom atmdid have the data showin 3g bug but wit benchmark was showin 4g speed..

I just didnt like the t-mob apps n **** cuz I couldn't use em xD

*EDIT

would telus users here likd a telus only oriented ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robcop19:
ever

this might be old but hey did yo ever figure out what that mean? does it mean you can test the bands or change them? i feel like it might be a clue to getting 4g to work for flashed phoned
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Modem, or "radio" does not change when flashing a ROM most of the time, some Roms do have baked in modems but not usually, u can flash a new radio though, for example for anyone running 4.0 would have to flash the jb radio in order to get any reception on a jb ROM

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

The t989 did get LTE packages when it got the jb update, whether or not u can use them depends on what area u are in, T-Mobile did just start putting up lte towers and there have been LTE sightings so well just have to wait and see
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
Oh I know what's up now lol, yea I had to update to MC4.

Also, the 989 doesn't have the hardware for LTE, so we will NOT be getting it. Sorry to burst any hope bubbles.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robcop19:
so then

SO does that mean you can change the bands around? cause my s3 from verizon has those same options and i was thinking if i change the bands it should change the 4g for the phone? cause i dont know which networks are covered by the b3 b7 b17 and so on
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
I'm not sure about changing the bands, I know u can flash a whole new radio, whether or not u can tweak those bands idk but I do know T-Mobile only supports 4g on certain frequency's, and whether or not u can pick those up depends on ur radios capabilities, I don't think u could tweak the modem to pick up diff ones but I could be wrong...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] new ion?:
No.

Hardware limitations and software ones are extremely different.

You can find the FCC file on your phone model, which should tell you what frequencies correspond to what band. Also, I believe there might be a wikipedia page on it you can reference. If the FCC file will only tell you what bands, you can cross reference between the two.

If the radio hardware itself supports multiple bands, and not just the few Verizon uses, then it is possible a firmware update could unlock them.

Now, the probability of getting that from Verizon? That's a whole another story.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bubbleblo:
Could you guys clarify something for me?

If there are only three buttons - back, home and multitasking - how to get to the hidden menus in existing software? Will they be unavailable until an app is updated? Or will those buttons be brought out somehow?

Or is there something else I'm not seing?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
There are literally 2 threads about this already. Not to mention a couple videos out there showing how it works.

When a legacy app is loaded, a menu button appears next to the multitasking button (this is how it works in honeycomb since the start).

The SDK is designed so that new apps and updated apps will have menu items (or at least a button) integrated into the app in plain view.

[Desire HD General] BLOODY_STONE:
HAI guys >>>

I just flashed my ROM to android revolution HD ... on Desire HD (of course):D

BUT !

no arabic support (except in home screen widgets)

no premium navigation ..

many apps are on phone memory and cant be moved to SD card

and finally !!! the phone memory decreased !!! from 1 GB to about 0.88 !!!(it was more on stock ROM)

free RAM is about 140 only?! although i got a task manager and killing background apps ..

is that ok or what ?

any solutions ?!
[Desire HD General] ghostofcain:
Does it run OK? if so don't worry, if not try a Non-sense rom like CM7, BTW ditch the task killer that should improve things for ya
[Desire HD General] 314:
For arabic support, scroll down to the second post to "Download Extras". There should be a flashable zip.

RAM Doesnt affect anything besides multitasking. Regardless, if you flash ROM Cleaner, it can increase your free memory (I get around 350 MB @ boot)

The sense task killer is fine. It just kills non-system apps clears cached apps (Although it does run in the background. I Would just uninstall it with Titanium Backup/etc)
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] OhMyJx:
Hi I have a little question to make, and I haven't find anything about it...

My cellphone has root and i'm able to mount R/W in a most folders with root explorer, but I can't mount R/W in "cust" folder. Inside is a folder called "entel" and there are the modified boot animations and stuff.

There is the Swype.apk too, but it hasn't any dictionaries and I'm not able to install them too (I don't know why)... So when I try to change the apk for another one, i can't mount R/W.

And when i try to install normally i can't.

Is there a way to mount r/w in that folder or change the swype?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Why you don't just copy the files you need on another folder on sdcard and try to manipulated there?

Also this folder sould be in /cust_backup/custom_data. Did you tried from there?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] OhMyJx:
I try to manipulate them in another place but then I can't replace the new files...

And i don't know why... but the folder is "cust", i know there is another one ".cust_backup" but inside is only the image folder with amss.mbn, boot.img, cust.img, emmcboot.mbn and recovery.img.

My cust folder includes a lot of subfolders, first one called "entel", then another subfolder "cl" and then i have folder called "app" (inside is only the Swype.apk"), lib, logo, media, nv, ons, prop, wallpaper and xml.

I Can't mount R/W in any of the cust folders, but I can do it in ".cust_backup"

:S
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
I don't know If you can mount this folder as rw.

Try to open command prompt on pc(and give the command adb shell) or a terminal emulator(in this case give the command su to take root rights)

and then give the command

cat/proc/mounts

to see which partitions have and where they mounted

Then, if the custom partition exist give the command

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/

followed with the mmc...(something that I dont rember) number of partition

e.g mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mmwhateveris12

to mount it.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] OhMyJx:
It didn't worked... :(

What if change something in the apk to make the system think that isn't swype?

I'm getting a really weird error and I can't figure out how to fix it.

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

The application Google Search (process com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

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

Anyone have any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
sounds like you either had a bad flash, or you restored system data with titanium backup.

back up the stuff you need, go into cwm recovery, and do a wipe data/factory reset. you will have to set everything up again, but this should take care of your force closes.

if you continue to get force closes, then try to re-flash the ROM you are on (after wiping data/factory resetting).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shingy:
Is there any way to fix this without re-flashing? I spent a ton of time tweaking everything to get what I wanted and would have to re-do everything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
you could try settings > applications > manage applications > all > google search > clear data

i'm far from 100% positive that google search is the process that is force closing... and even if that is the correct process, i'm not sure that this will permanently solve your problem, but i think it is worth a shot. i think this will clear all of the data from your google search widget, which i assume is what you are trying to use when you get the error.

let me know if it works!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shingy:
I only get the error when I try using the Google Search function - either with a homescreen widget, or by pressing the hardware search key on the device.

So, what you're suggesting is that I back up my current rom/settings using Titanium Backup, wipe cache / factory reset with CWM, then restore the backup using Titanium, but for missing apps?

That would give me my current setup, but with any missing system apps?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Fix Permissions and wipe cache/dalvik (both in CWM) - if those fail, time to wipe data and restore your apps in TiBu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] shingy:
Thanks for your suggestion, Entropy. I reset permissions and wiped both caches, but still have the same issue.

I think what is causing this is that I deleted the system app "ApplicationsProvider.apk", which appears to be related to the Google Search app. I previously tried to restore the file manually using Root Explorer and my original backup and I don't think it fully restored.

Could I use Titanium to restore this file if I've never made a backup with Titanium?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfpearson:
If you never backed it up, then you can't restore it. You could do a google search for the .apk, or else you can see if someone on these forums will pull theirs off of their phone and upload it for you. But you're really better off wiping and starting over at this point.

Im not listing this phone for sale, well not on here anyways, but I am wondering what the sgs4g is actually worth used.

Im a long ways away from upgrade eligibility and I really want a sgs2, so im thinking I have two sgs4g's, i could sell them both and probably get the sgs2 for less out of my pocket than the upgrade price, maybe

but ive searched craigslist and ebay just to explore the idea and see what they are selling for but from what ive seen prices are all over the board (150-250 and yes thats for used)....well who better to ask than a community full of developers ;)

they are both rooted, sim unlocked, and in pretty darn good condition...one phone only has rub marks on battery cover from sliding around on hard surfaces, and the other has the same as well as a couple tiny dings on the edges....no screen flaws whatsoever

so what do you think is a reasonable price to ask for if i do decide to sell them?
