This won't help me for 2 reasons but I thank you for the input.

1.) Im looking for an option that sticks after reboot.

2.) Im in an area at work that is bad for both 2g and 3g. So no matter what the priority it will always bounce between the 2 looking for better signal.

I need to force 2g.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
You know what, Im Sorry you were right. Let me just go to the market and put HTCs sense on my galaxy s2.

Cause that's a launcher too right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Ah, my settings stay (on Unnamed 1.1 not sure if that makes a difference) and yeah... AT&T locks the menu thats needed to force certain signals.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Well someone is cranky. Touchwiz *is* just a launcher. Specific to samsung roms, just as sense is to htc.

Samsung even markets touchwiz as the user interface (that's a launcher)

If you do like it that much, this article came out a few months back

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/modified-touchwiz-4-launcher-for-all-android-devices/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
SMH....no

SENSE is not just a launcher, Touchwiz is not just a launcher and BLUR is not just a launcher.....

there are specific drivers, and frameworks needed for each one, hell they even need specific KERNELS to run....

there is more than JUST the launcher. yes, it is a UI, but it is embedded in the dialer, the contacts, the accounts, even the framework....

ever wonder why you cant take the rosie.apk from a sense rom and drop it into another non-HTC device and have it work? probably not, because you dont know about the integration the UIs have....

its not JUST a launcher....its an entire UI....wake up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
That I agree with you. But I'm almost positive that's not what he was talking about.

I'm not sure why it seems you have a chip on your shoulder about this.

Most people's view of a rom is the launcher. That's all I was addressing.

I know stock ui runs deep in a phone, but the main difference of what stock has that cyanogenmod or miui doesn't, is the launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Pirateghost:
some people like the touchwiz features the UI brings. sliding brightness control on notif tray, slide to text/call in contacts, the hardware acceleration that TW4 brings along with the gyro/accelerometer, the camera app, the social integration, the email.....etc etc etc

i know i actually enjoy it now. touchwiz 3.x on galaxy s1 was horrid, but i like it now
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] seh6183:
Thank god you just said all that because I didn't feel like typing it.

But for the record there are probably 30 additional things that touchwiz offers me that cm7 and others can't. I really like it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tmz83:
I discovered that I love to much GO launcher EX, but also that it use 15 MB of precious RAM, so I would like to mod the stock ROM for replace the original touchwiz with the Gl-EX.

Is it possible without having any developer skill?

If yes, can you help me found the things that I need (guide, wiki...) ?

thanks!

You do know that Touch Wiz does not run in the background?

By rooting your phone you are able to dispose Touch Wiz. (which makes GO Launcher your primary launcher since that will be your only one).
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] happily1986:
i am on stock S5830DXKPB and i dumped touchwhiz for launcherpro.

1. first locate the package representing launcherpro in /data/app. the package name is com.fede.launcher-1.

2. then push it to /system/app

3. change permissions to rw-r-r

4. delete touchwhiz30launcher.apk

to do the above you need root permissions to access /system and preferably use root explorer if terminal emulator is not your thing.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tmz83:
Interesting... do you have a link about it?

No, infact I thought it was so, but then why in app management I see GO launcher like a running and closable app?

BTW, wich package I need to uninstall? SamsungHOME ?

Is this enough? or I must do something like happily1986 as explained?
[HTC Inspire 4G] jonathanj942:
i was rooting my phone and made the mistake of unplugging it now it wont boot in to recovery or nothinwhen it was rootining it said something about a clock and the prepairng for the next step was where it left off i need help
[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
Reading is fundamental!!I will assume you used attn1's hack kit to root. If you did, I suggest you got back to the OP and read the entire thing. Once done, if you didn't find your remedy, do it again. and then again. If at this point you didn't find what to do, there is no hope.
[HTC Inspire 4G] jonathanj942:
um do u mean read the advanced hack kit manual i skimmed thogh it it dosent say any thing about this problem can u be more specific
[HTC Inspire 4G] cwhitney24:
If you would go back to the op of the hack kit thread you will see it says to hit up the IRC for help....

Why is it nobody reads that. O well, go to the IRC And get the help you need.

I got your 10 char right here
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gizmoe:
What possesed you to unplug it while it was flashing critical parts of your phone. Not a good move. You may have bricked it. Especially if it was only half way through the part where it flashes clockwork and sets s-off. If you had fully read and comprehended the manual, instead of skimming it, you would know what you were doing. You really have to read the material available to you on these threads because this is technical stuff your doing and should not be taken lightly. Do you have insurance? I'm sure warranty is out of the question.

I really am tired of people screwing up their phones because they are too lazy to read the original post. This tool comes with a manual that attn1 emphasizes heavily to read as it contains all the information you need BEFORE running his tool. How easier can it be. I'm sorry but if you didn't do your research and ended up screwing it up, all I can say is, lesson learned. (hopefully)

[HTC Inspire 4G] MMM-BACONSTRIPS:
I'll sum up what you probably just skipped over, which tells me you didn't read thoroughly enough to be rooting your phone. The bottom section of the OP is pretty much summed up as, if you need help, here's the IRC chatroom, go there but don't ask stupid question that READING would solve. What you did sounds like something stupid (sorry, I'm not calling you stupid..just the action of unplugging your phone while rooting is stupid..beyond me why you did this but whatever not the point) The guys in the IRC are very good at what they do...and have probably seen it all so they can help. Again, I'm not trying to attack you, it's just information that could have been found by READING. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justlaxin13:
Hey, just wondered if there was a way to unlock the mobile hotspot feature (without paying ATT obviously) without flashing a ROM. I have no problem with rooting, which I feel should allow override access for however ATT locks it. But, this was not the case with my old phone (Samsung Captivate). With that, I was only free to us the hotspot once flashing certain ROMs. Any advice? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i'm pretty sure that is not possible without a custom rom

again .... you are in the wrong section with these questions. That is what the Q&A section is for.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
kinda weird that you wouldn't mind rooting, but you would mind flashing a custom rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justlaxin13:
I know it's odd, but for now, lame though it may be, I kinda like the newest iteration of TW. Part of that is because there are some native apps (like quickoffice) that came with the phone that i use all the time and don't want to lose them with a custom ROM
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Stixho:
@justlaxin13: It's possible and quite easy to do. All you have to do is root your phone by following jivy26 directions here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285894

then get Titanium Backup (Paid version allows freezing of apps) open it, and uninstall Tethering Manager, reboot phone, and you should be good to go.

It worked for me, and I'm on Stock Rom, that's rooted, tooted, and free of all AT&T crapware!!! :-D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
All of our custom ROMs right now except for Perception and CM7/MIUI are derived from I777 stock - so they'll have the same TW version.

And I think most of them (except maybe S8) still have Quickoffice. Worst case you can pull the APK from a ROM that has it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] netarc:
thanks, I've been wondering much the same, whetehr flashing a custom rom would lose me access to Touchwiz and/or quickoffice. In particular I'm considering CyanogenMod and Unnamed, are both of these in the "include TW and QO" category?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Cyanogenmod is the exception - it's AOSP-based. CM7 and MIUI are the only ROMs that lose Touchwiz.

I think Unnamed has QO - if it doesn't, worst case pull the APK from stock and readd it to /system/app
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] litesout:
Thanks, that worked for me. I'm rooted and still on the stock ROM. By the way, don't need the paid version of Titanium Backup, the free version worked just fine. I backed it up (just in case) and uninstalled it. Worked without a reboot even. Rebooted to be sure, and it still works. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Just ran a speed test and was a bit surprised. '4g' in my area isn't the greatest, at least I thought.

But I ran a speedtest on my asus transformer while connected to my phone's hotspot.

Then immediately shut off the hotspot and ran it on my phone.

How can a device on the hotspot pull faster speeds than the device itself?

The asus is 100% stock, currently, and my sgh II is stock, at least for the next hour, with only entropy512's kernel, dd11032011, and unmodified apn settings.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Different TCP buffer settings (although on my kernel, yours should be nice and big), also, the speedtest app seems to randomly freak out and pick the wrong servers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Gotcha. I'll try pinning it down but it's most likely nothing. I don't 'feel' the speed difference between this and other 4g phones.

[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernaz:
Hello

First I would like to thank bharat_goku for this awesome ROM, so thank you :)

Now lets get to the business :)

1. Sometimes I have an odd problem. Apps that are installed not from the market force closes. On some apps this problem fixes itself after half a day or something like that. Magic, isn't it? I remember reading in some ROM thread that broken APK signatures may cause force close problem. The question is how can i fix it?

2. Is there a way to replace current transparent status bar to default one?

3. Is there a way to remove recent apps from notification box? It really feels sluggish now and lacks some space.

4. Is it possible to get default 2.1 lockscreen running? If so, what would I need to do to get one running? However this is more like for experimentation :)

5. Is there a way to *lock* apps like Phone and Messages in memory so they could always respond as fast as possible. I remember them being auto-killed on some roms... I currently didn't experience such behavior on this ROM since I didn't get any calls but I would like to be sure :)

6. I suppose I could manage to find this one easily but since I'm asking already... Where could I find old market app?

7. I'm thinking of making swap file and enable Compcache since GB eats memory pretty fast. I've seen them doing magic on Heroine (Sense 2.1) ROM. I'm gonna try these tweaks when I find some spare time... Has anyone tried something like that on this ROM? Was it worth it?

Well I think thats it for now. I'm not afraid of (adb) shell so if some answers involves using it that would not be a deal breaker :)
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mar9118:
3. you can download and install "Remove recent apps from status bar" under Options from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1090186

4. you can try this lockscreen for Wildfire which is similar to default 2.1 lockscreen for Hero, download and install "Wildfire Lockscreen" from the same thread mentioned above.

Cheers!
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof Peach:
I found that if you select the slate skin, you get the status bar back and the whole rom feels faster. I also like the blue button highlights.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernaz:
Thank you for your answers :)

Prof Peach I am currently using Slate theme but it just doesn't feel right :D

I have found out that this problem is related to sd-card. It seems to be mounted as read only and some programs force closes when they cant write to that sd-card. I suppose this kind of stuff should be defined somewhere (maybe some ini file). So now the question is how can I make it writable.

P.S. I doubt it's my cards fault since I can access it through recovery USB mount without any problems.

P.P.S. I cant mount sd-card as disk drive through ROM.

P.P.P.S. I am also using LVX 0.6.2 so that may be a problem... I'll try flashing 0.5 when i get home

I guess I'm gonna need to reflash the ROM <looking for encouragement :D>
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernaz:
1. I think I've fixed it. I reflashed the ROM without wiping everything and now SD card works as it should, no FC's after that..

2. I have changed theme to Slate and then just accidentally changed back to default theme and the status bar is not transparent anymore :)

3. As stated few posts above the mod from SalsaSense works perfectly.

4. Same as 3.

5. It does seem to work well so I think it may not be needed here. However it would still be interesting to have some information about this.

6. Seems that old market app does not want to work with this ROM.. Oh well..

7. I've found out that compcache is not compiled into LVX kernel (or not enabled) so I could not test it out. About swap I did not test it either since atm my sd-card is too slow to even begin with something like that.

I hope this information will be useful to someone.

However I still have some issues... The phone drains battery in a day or so while doing nothing. Thats odd since with older sense 2.1 roms I could manage to push 3 to 5 days with light phone usage (really light, like 1 call a day, 3 texts and 10 mins browsing and of course alarm clock). However I did not use LVX kernel back then and governor was ondemand where now govenor is smartassv2. So battery life may not be entirely roms fault.

I'm gonna try to wipe battery stats and see how it goes then.

EDIT: Seems that wiping battery stats helped somehow. I don't have any idea how battery stats works, seems strange...
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absar.shah:
This doesnt work for me, are you sure you didnt do anything else to remove transparency?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infernaz:
Well the thing is I used Slate theme from the beginning and then after having problems and reflashing ROM without wiping any data etc I changed theme to Default one. Since then the status bar is just like the original one, no transparency.

I have also flashed a mod that removes recently used apps from notification bar so maybe that has something to do with this. Strange.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absar.shah:
I tried reflashing ROM without wiping any data still its transparent, which confirms the second part

"
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharat_goku:
If you want the normal statusbar,just flash the battery mod from the optionals in the cdma thread....
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] absar.shah:
The battery mod just changes battery indicator, notification bar is still transparent.
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharat_goku:
not really it reverts it to the default statusbar which is not transparent....

anyway i've removed the transparent status bar in Rose V4 so it shouldnt be a problem now on...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] CannibalAngel:
Hello all;

I just saw the pictures of the new HTC Rezound. It looks like, in the pictures at least, that the LED buttons (home, menu, back, and search) are red. I think that looks really god and would like to know if there is any way to get the LED buttons on the Inc 2 red? Is this even possible or would I have to totally take apart the phone and swap out the white LEDs with red ones? Sorry if this has been answered before. I couldn't find any threads like this.

I am running an AlphaRevX rooted Inc 2

CyanogenMOD 7.1.0.1

Android version 2.3.7

Thanks in Advance!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
I'd think you would have to take it apart, since these are leds not like a screen. I was hoping something could come of it for our phone too. I love the RED!!!

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] zax10:
If anyone wants to rip the phone apart. You could probably place a red film over the lights. Not sure though just a brain fart.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
I thought the same thing. I did this with the gauges in my car a long time ago and made them blue without having to replace any leds. Not sure if there would be enough room behind the glass to add film tho. I really don't see anyone trying this unless they are already replacing a screen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ph1nn:
The red is pretty nice, but this would have to be a hardware change, not software. I'd guess it's white LEDs lighting the bottom buttons, good luck desoldering and soldering new extremely tiny LEDs to the phones motherboard and getting the right resistance to maintain the correct voltage - it's not gonna happen.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mihneagabriel:
Im not 100% sure they're leds. I just got the phone yesterday and while playing with it i noticed that the buttons rotate as you rotate the phone. I.e. if in portrait mode the home is facing with the roof up and if in the landscape mode the house (and all the other buttons) changes so that the roof is facing up again.

Which got me thinking that it has to be a separate screen or a continuation of the original screen. I shined a light at an angle at that part and noticed that theres a cutout as wide as the screen and about a cm high.

It has to be more than LEDs, LEDs dont change direction. But I dont know if the color can be changed.

***EDIT*** I looked up some videos which show the disassembly process and it seems that its not a screen. and even if you wanted to add a film over it, you might run into problems when you take off the digitizer since it needs to be heated to get under it.

My device is fully original and no custom rom,s-off or root. Could anyone help me please?

No big news really. Pluses: Thinner, lighter, HD display, TI 1.2GHz OMAP processor. Negatives: 16GB only, no 3G, still 3.2. Evolution rather than revolution. It'll be interesting to see how the TI processor does compared to Tegra. I had a Jetstream and the Qualcomm 1.5GHz made the UI seem smoother but it wasn't a real "wow" compared to the G-Tab.
