[General Questions and Answers] convolution:
I have rooting experience when it comes to rooting methods that are specially designed for a model like Desire Z or S II (Both which I have rooted successfully).

However, my sister has a Samsung Galaxy Q, and seeing that it does not have any dev support at all, I wanted to root it, but there are no special roots just for it, so I think I am forced to use a generic one.

I have read that SuperOneClick might work, but I don't konw if it will work with the galaxy Q.

Any ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] mtmerrick:
well superoneclick does work, it rooted my LG vortex and the OG droid. only way to know if it works on your phone is to try it.
[General Questions and Answers] st@matis:
hell yea it works! ive rooted like 5 phones with it!

[Milestone 2 General] fuyajo:
hi there...

just installed CM7 this weekend. worked fine for 2 days :(

After restarting the ms2, it got stuck in a bootloop.

I can flash a sbf with rsd lite from, finishes OK, but when it says, rebooting, well...

it still stuck in a bootloop.

In recovery mode, i can do a cache wipe and factory reset. But there is a error message at the bottom, telling:

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/command

E: Can't open /cache/recovery/caller

Could I successfully flash with RSDlite from Linux? which version?

Is there a way to restore the ms2 from dev console?

Thanks a lot :o
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
Do you test to Wipe Data with stock moto recovery ?

Here step 7 to 11

I think your request must be on "General" section :)
[Milestone 2 General] fuyajo:
I suspected it might be related the CyanogenMod intstall. But move to "general" if necessary

Have done steps 7 - 11

but still ms2 bootloops :confused:

OMG - if broke it - my wife kills me :(
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
I hope your wife don't kill you LOL

See this thread and particulary this with r2beta0 tips:
[Milestone 2 General] fuyajo:
I did exactly the same, as in the other thread.

And thank god, my ms2 booted up

So everything seems fine for now und no one should get killed :D

Many Thanks! :)
[Milestone 2 General] EVEALEX62:
Nice for you :)
[Milestone 2 General] Devilsball:
Hi all, Emiliano from Italy. I firstly wanted to thank you all for your support.

Even being my first post here, I've been following you since some time.

My problem looks exactly the same: bootloop... bootloop... bootloop.

No matter how many I tried flashing back the original ROM for my M2 (SBF file always worked before!!! so I'm sure is the correct one for my smartphone).

I tried also the procedure with depacking described above with no progresses.

Anyway I already had noticed that after renaming cg66 to cg37, depacker wasn't able to see it in the list of cgs before repacking, so that final fbs was 300MB less.

Something wrong I made? (tried on 2 pcs with Vista Home and Business)

Unluckily I cannot even try to wipe data because I cannot enter in recovery mode (On + X -> Android robot with mark -> but nothing happens after pressing magnifying lens or any other key).

Could someone, please, help me before using my bricked M2 for building a new house?
[Milestone 2 General] Amir4Life:
Hi

Have the same problem here since 6 months now,

Just to see if it s the same thing as me, try this please:

In my case i can t acces recovery, only way is to hold X and plug the phone to the wall, did not resolve nthing for me, but maybe you re luckier...

post results...

C ya
[Milestone 2 General] Devilsball:
Hi Amir4Life,

thanks for reply and for your suggestion.

Unluckily I cannot access recovery mode.

All I get when pressing X is the green robot with Exclamation mark, but no matter which key I press after, it gets stuck at that point (so that I'm bound to take away battery to turn smartphone off) and cannot access or see any menu to operate wipe.

Tried also reflashing other roms through rds lite (bootloader works efficiently) or through ubuntu live cd "sbf_flash system", but the only fsb that always worked for me turns out to be a bootloop when rebooting.

Unluckily nothing seems to help me in this situation, so far.

It's still a bootlpop and no access to recovery mode.

Thanks anyway for your help and happy and special new year to you all!
[Milestone 2 General] sahilarora911:
At the 'exclamation sign + green android guy' screen, you have to press 'vol up + vol down' together.

Now you will get the options like 'wipe data' etc. etc. Scroll through options using vol up or vol down and select using power button.
[Milestone 2 General] Devilsball:
Thanks Sahilarora,

If I had read you before I would have saved a lot of time trying all possibile combinations of keys on the keboards (since magnifying glasses didn't work)!!

Then just by chance I discovered myself volume up + down while pressing chaotically all buttons and it worked to my best suprise, showing me finally the belated list of options, together with blessed wipe data factory

Since yesterday evening my Milestone 2 is wonderfully working again, as fresh as a daisy!

Thank you so much for your contribution, hoping it could help also Amir4Life and oll pthers in a similar situation.

Happy new year (started in the best way).
[Milestone 2 General] Amir4Life:
Glad for you, I was about to tell to do what sahilarora911 told ya,

I expect i m the only one who stays with brick'd phone... my luck.

[Milestone 2 General] Devilsball:
Could explain in details which is your problem, and which methods have you already tried to solve it?

If not me, maybe someone else could help you.

Hi Emiliano! It seems to be that we share the same problem. Did you found a fix to it? Thanks!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TAK209:
ok so i was wondering if there is a way for my rooted galaxy s2 to be picked up in itunes???? or if i can build playlist on my computer and have the saved playlist show up already as a playlist on my phone??? (hope that makes sense..) i am getting annoyed of building and naming them on my phone.

thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Nope. You can thank apple for that. Nearly everything Google has done works with Mac products in one way or another. Nearly nothing from apple works with anything else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TAK209:
Dam.... well what about creating a playlist while my phones connected to my computer? I just hate how I have to make the playlists on my phone and I have to search for the music and add to the playlist.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Looks like some programs have come out to work around that:

http://androidforums.com/android-media/16874-make-playlists-computer.html
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] DeXel55:
You can use Songbird on your computer as a replacement for iTunes. Install Device addon to specify what formats your phone supports and to where to sync (in MSC mode). Then create playlists in it and sync with your device. Another option is Winamp but it wasn't good for me.

Edit: You can even use WMP if phone is connected in MTP mode, but WMP has limited format support.

Or if you want to use iTunes, use something like iSyncr.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TAK209:
thanks guys imma give this a try later today.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TAK209:
ok so double twist is what i need and anyone else who wants to transfer there playlist and not have to rebuild them manually on their handset. you can download it here for your computer.

http://doubletwist.com/

and download the player in the market (free) and works great so far.

thanks gr8hairy1 and DeXel55 for assisting me with this problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Indeed. Thanks for reporting back with what you ended up choosing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
What good is a CWM package if you don't have CWM?

CWM = ClockWork Mod

Note: Your phone needs to be rooted for a non-Odin install. There are many threads in this forum on how to root so I won't get into it here.

Now you need to obtain a kernel that has CWM included. I recommend the latest kernel from Entropy512's thread located here.

You'll want to extract the zImage file out of the Zip and save it on your computer.

If you have the Android SDK installed and working on your computer then save the zImage in its tools directory and then type the following command from this location:

adb push zImage /sdcard/zImage

Otherwise you'll want to plugin your phone to your computers USB connection and paste the zImage file in the root of your internal SD Card.

Next you need to flash the kernel.

Via ADB (press Enter after each line):

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Via a Terminal Emulator installed on your phone (If you don't have one download "Android Terminal Emulator" from the Market and install it. It's free):

su
dd if=/sdcard/zImage of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5

Reboot.

Note that in the above two code examples when you type su you'll get a prompt to allow the "Superuser Request" if its the first time you invoke it from either program.

To boot into CWM in ADB type:

adb reboot recovery

Or, unplug your USB cable if plugged in, and press and hold vol UP + vol DOWN + Power buttons. Wait until it reboots and you see the Samsung Galaxy S II boot screen and release all 3 buttons. This should place you in your CWM menu.

Doing it this way should keep you from getting an exclamation point on your boot screen which is the main reason why I explained how to do this in this manner. If, by chance, you still get an exclamation point or already had one to begin with the only option I can think of is to use a jig. Not that a jig isn't a good thing to have anyways. Any ROM you flash from within CWM will not be added to your Custom Image count and will not produce the annoying exclamation point on the boot screen.

Absolutely first thing you want to do is boot into CWM.

As of this writing, press the Home button to choose an entry and press your Power button or the back button to go back to the previous screen.

Go to: backup and restore

Choose Backup

This will take a few minutes, but is well worth it. Now if you ever mess up your install you can always boot into CWM and restore the image you backed up. This, however, doesn't protect you from flashing bad bootloaders so word to the wise... DO NOT FLASH BOOTLOADERS!!! At this point and time there is no need to.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] papashex:
Thanks Coz, will try this one out. looks like the perfect theme to match the go launcher glass icons I always seem to come back to using.

Update: No issues with the rom yet, been running it all day. Only issue (not from the rom) is that I loose root if I change the kernel. I'm trying to use Zedomax OC kernel, but since root breaks I can't OC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
I have not tried the Zedomax kernel, but I'm not a fan of overclocking. I can say that I've been using my ROM for a while and for me, its always been as stable as can be. Definitely not saying that because it's my ROM. I appreciate you using it as your daily driver for now :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] The Boxinator:
Cozmo1 I just have to say you have been really active with the updates. That's really awesome from what I noticed there is still not many developers on the AT&T SGS2 So I am really happy that your contributing so much, unlike me >_> Who can't develop :( Still Once I get home today I'm going to flash everything i can for some runs I'll pick my favorite and run with it for a bit. All of your stuff looks super tempting though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Enzopreme:
hey, this looks great, does this ROM have init.d support??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ktoonsez:
Good work. Looks very nice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
Currently it does not have init.d support, but it'll be an easy thing to implement in the next release. I must admit I don't know why I haven't thought of implementing it already.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
Thank you. There's people here a million times more talented than me when it comes to building a ROM though. However, one learns more everyday. I hope you find a ROM that fits all your needs and then some. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
Haven't had or heard of anybody having this issue. Have you checked your APN settings? Settings --> Wireless and network --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names

While here you can always click the menu button and click "Reset to default".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
I must admit I haven't seen a way to remove a panel. I suspect the ICS launcher's middle button (looks like the outline of a house) is where one should be able to add or remove panels. Otherwise the apps settings doesn't have much. At least in this release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
I followed you're steps. Mms seems to be working fine now.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] paleman27:
I had the same issue but I no longer do. It went away when I updated the Ice Cream Sandwich app. I also suspect that if you do not have any app in other panels they won't show up when you press the hardware home button.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
paleman27 is correct. Go to the Market and update the ICS Launcher. This update gives you a lot more control within the app than before --- still not seeing a way to control the panels though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] harlenm:

Auto Orientation

Am I missing a setting outside of the standard display settings that allows for screen rotation? I have it set for allowing, but I don't get landscape at all, not even within apps.

Can I flash 120111 drive to this rom? I know I can smart pants, but would it will work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xpakage:
Yes, and it fixes some strange behavior. Like turning on when you charge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Hemlocke:
Coz, definitely missing this ROM. Maybe I'll see you on the next AT&T Android device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] vwyankee:
I'll just chalk it up as a fluke. After trying to backup this ROM and revert to my stock ROM (which is failing for some reason) it seemed to fix itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
Definitely weird. I'm glad that its working correctly for you now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
Most likely, bud. Hope you like your new phone :)

Best working "ICS" so far... Everything works! The only thing I'm doing to it is updating the Entropy's drive everytime they come out.

When will the 4.0 be out so it can be ported to this phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevespens:
Wow, finally have 10 threads so I can post here,

Hi All, I flashed this rom about two hours ago. Love it, smooth, snappy, love the graphics. The ICS theme is really cool. I'm using the TW launcher right now. I like the 7 page format. Still get the cool graphics.

Great job to all, thanks for the hard work.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevespens:
Well, speak of the devil. I just got an update to the ICS launcher. It allows you to pick the number of rows and columns On the home pages. That helps a lot because now you can fit more on each page, so only having 5 pages is doable. There are some other nice upgrades too. Much more detailed settings menu.

Great upgrade folks. Nice job.

Thank you all for your kind words. I'm very happy that you all are enjoying the ROM and I plan on making some more updates to it.

Work has been incredibly busy which has limited any of my free time lately. That should start settling.

paleman27, if you've set a launcher to be the default you can go to the launchers entry in Applications --> Manage Applications --> All and click on the "Clear defaults". You'll then be given a choice when you click the home button while on the desktop. Or install a program like "HomeSmack" *like stevespens mentioned) to help you make this easier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Flawd:
I'm not sure if this is a bug with any other roms, or if it's with android itself, but it's very easy to bypass the pattern lock screen on this ROM.

Wake the phone, wait for the screen to time out, and wake it again. That's it.

Video demonstration:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevespens:
Happens to me too. But I was having some trouble with the stock rom too. When I would get a message, it would unlock without the pattern. I've been waiting for someone else to confirm my suspicions.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stevespens:
To be honest with you, un-named was the first one I tried. Can't remember what it was about it. I switched back and forth about 8 times that night. It only takes a few minutes a rom. Pop around and check it out. as long as you have everything backed up, it's no big deal. Just have to load your pages. I just did the same thing with my wifes Captivate. Checked out four or five till I found what I thought she would like.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:
All the packages I create do a wipe of the system and cache for you, but that's to save you from doing it yourself. As long as you backup your data this should never be an issue.

I've been doing a lot of testing of the ROM to make sure everything is working correctly and has no side effects. A little time consuming since I only have this SGSII and I still need to rely on it. So far everything is working well. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Cozmo1:

only other launcher I was feeling was ICS launcher.

On the digital clock widget the day of the week and date should be blue. The green clashes with everything else.

(edit: Already fixed that myself by installing the digital clock apk that already had it done)

Other than that, nice work.
