[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warrez:
ok so i wanted to reset the counter using usb jig.. but i went and updated via kies to KI8.. so i went to HERE and downloaded old bootloader the package one..

and went using the latest odin which is 1.85 and flashed old bootloader into my SGS2 via PDA option and it seemed abit slower than the "original/new" bootloader

so question is:

does new bootloader boot faster than the old one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kersey:
Am not sure if there is any difference between the bootloaders but I flashed the newer one after wiping the binary counter just to be sure
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warrez:
one more question.. i have official rom with old bootloader if i flash in speedmod will it mess up with bootloader at all? do i need to flash old bootloader back or will it just flash kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
Just flash the kernel.
[LG Optimus 2x] dohanin:
Hi,

I've just updated my 2X from v10f to v20d. What I noticed is that the time for the stock launcher to be really responsive is much longer. Before the update, it takes about one minute after booting... now it takes about 3...

What I mean is that the screen as well as the capative buttons does not respond to my touch. Although phone calls can still be received, I just can't initiate any apps...

I'm not sure if it's solely the problem of the launcher, or other issues. Does anyone experience the same and any suggestions?

Thanks
[LG Optimus 2x] speedy25ca:
You should do a factory reset, I don't know if you did one, this should help.
[LG Optimus 2x] crc64:
+1. I had this issue earlier and a reset fixed it for me.
[LG Optimus 2x] ppsun:
Just tested mine (upgraded from 10d to 20d).

- 45 secs from pressing power button to unlock screen.

- And about another 20 secs to scan SD cards (16GB external) and set-up root apps.

Had no problem with buttons or opening apps, even when the SD cards were being scanned. Just a slight bit laggy during that 20 secs.

As others said, you might need a factory reset. I had mine factory reset about 3 weeks ago under froyo before the upgrade, perhaps that "washed" away past 8 months of accumulated data junk.
[LG Optimus 2x] randomu:
Hi, I'm just wondering if you do a factory reset, will all the data be wiped/erased/gone?

Thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] DeLonge:
all data on system (like sms, app, phonebook, etc) but not on sdcard (both int and ext
[LG Optimus 2x] dohanin:
thanks all for your reply

i have found a work-around for this problem. whenever the screen becomes not responsive, i can still pull down the status bar... then i press the home button, and everything would become responsive again... so, i'll live with it before i really need to do a factory reset

and by the way, besides booting up, i also found that the screen would become unresponsive whenever i turn on/off wifi...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zarboga:
hello.

i don't have sd card in my SGS I9100G, but I'd like to root the phone soon.

I read few threads in here, they required me to install the .zip files in sd card.

Is it possible for me to install the .zip in internal memory instead in sd card?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] buidung:
After trying install honeycomb and now my flyer get bootloop. I try run ruu many times but allway got error. Help me pleaseeee!!!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
wrong section

Give more details

Did you do the htc dev unlock step

Where does the ruu fail
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Elim:
... and what have you done, where went it wrong and with what error messages and/or reaction.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] buidung:
I unlocked bootloader, ruu stuck at checking header
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Where did your honeycomb instal fail
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] buidung:
I can't use adb in bootloader mode. I try many tine but always fail. Yesterday when i flash cwm-4.0.1.4-flyer.img, i can use adb and i flash new hboot, unlock bootloader and my flyer bevome s-on with new hboot. I make a big mistake when flash new hboot. Now i can't do anything.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
Adb does not work in fastboot only recovery

What step did you get up to in the honeycomb installation

Can you get into recovery?

Have you flashed the system zip
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] buidung:
I cant flash zip. Does s-on can flash it or need goldcard?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
You are confusing me, you need to have your hboot unlocked, you should have custom recovery flashed, you get into recovery and adb push the system zip, then install through recovery
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] buidung:
Thank you so much!!!!!
[HTC Sensation] townay:
Is it possible to pull some camera features off rezound and port it to sensation?

I understand taht rezound is using sense 3.5 and sensation is 3.0

I am understand that it is possible if sensation is flashed to a 3.5 rom but not likely if sensation is using 3.0 rom right?

I am using ARHD 3.0 rom. I dont have plans to flash to a 3.5 ARHD so...
[HTC Incredible S] TransporterxJ:
Hello guys, few days ago i did a manual checkup about new updates(OTA) and i downloaded it and was trying to install it and i failed ( it came up with a blue android with ! mark on it ). My phone was rooted and its 2.3.3 with ver 2.12.707.5 now. I wondered why i cant update my phone to ver 2.3.707.1 . Could you guys help me out? Thanks.
[HTC Incredible S] nsg86:
Did you flash custom recovery before?it won't work if you have it.
[HTC Incredible S] TransporterxJ:
Ohh! I have a cwm... so may i know what should i do so that i can install the update?

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
did anyone tried to run and develop ROMs for VMWARE under linux and try to install VMWARE on our x10 mini pro??

if this is possible then i believe we can run multiple versions of ROMs and kernels without even lose any piece of data and i believe we can also keep the stock rom too. therefore we can always use our phones even if the rom crashed at anytime!:p

i'll try to check the requirement for vmware installation on mobile :):P...
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
DUDE! You HAVE to be kidding me. VMWare is a virutalisation platform, it simulates any hardware for software to run on. What we need is, a way to change the /system to a alternate one to allow for dual booting. I believe its avalible in some recoveries.. i think. And AFAIK, no virtualisation platform will run on our tiny ammount of RAM and sluggish processor.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
Dude! i'm not kidding i believe we can use VMWARE on our hardware but the limitation will be to run each OS at a time.

and remember that Android is based on Linux and VMWARE could be installed on Linux also i believe that with slight modification we can run only shell linux with vmware installed which will need only like 64MB RAM and pentium 2 300Mhz minimum to make it all work!

so virtualisation is possible on our phone and i visited the VMWARE site and guess what they have mobile virtualization solution for mobiles and tablets!:)

i believe we can reach a level of customization never done before!

EDIT: and by the way take a look at the following LG VMWARE virtualisation you tube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47kzIvFfV_E

this is possible!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] naw3x:
I dont get the point, why not just combine the work & personal life in one rom? This just seems like a waste of space, plus the phone in the video is much more powerfull.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
@naw3x i know it's much more powerful my idea won't need that power!

we can use our OS father :P Linux! if we use the minimal version only kernel and shell we can install VMWare (at least the player) and install images of whatever OS we want to use and it would be extremely easy to back up and customize!

linux kernel plus shell won't take that much resources as base layer! it will only take the what the phone stock kernel of RAM may 10 MB more!

for the use of virtualisation like in the video it's not a waste of space for a company but for us we can say this! for a company that need privacy toward it's data it can backup the vm Rom in a minute and remove it totally if the employee wants to leave without affecting his personal phone!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] obsidian_eclipse:
Maybe it could work, whilst it may be able to utilise the hardware built into the phone there would be significant performance in emulating an alien processor and the associated custom chips (if for instance you wanted to emulate a different phone).

If you want to run a second virtual x10 mini pro (not concurrent - obviosuly) then it probably wouldnt be anymore significant than rerouting the system/ folder.

Running an OS from flash would be more energy/resource consuming than the internal memory anyway.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] s0ftcorn:
Useless idea, because virtualisation always needs quiet a lot of cpu-power. There is the possibility to run a dual boot system, but afair this project has been stopped. Also i dont get the point in running multiple roms on your device, since the data-partition could only be used by froyo OR gingerbread OR eclair and since basically any rom has the same progress in development, because obviously the cookers use the work from other cookers, which is awesome because it is some kind of collaboration, it is senseless to use multiple roms at once.

Also, if you want the futures of linux, even without gui, you need the right kernel, otherwise your device would not know how to handle your command.

So whats the point in your idea?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
Well the point is to try to run and test vm without even attempt to flash which will help in testing the currently in development roms and kernels! And even you can use it for a lot more things! And about the linux kernel you already have it it's in your android os all the time!

Anyway if no one wants to share ideas and discuss this subject, I thank you all for your answers :( it was an attempt to do something useful:(
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Deleted member 3979716:
Hey. Don't give up, buddy! Anything is possible!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] smallz2k:
good idea

Dont know why people are down on the idea,i think it would be great, basically 2 phones in 1,i do use 2 phones atm, good look with it :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ruifung:
Yeah.. it is nice... in theory. But its practically useless. We are already strapped for ram, and a VM implies running another OS inside the current one. Which is definitely not practical. At any rate, a reboot is still needed. You could just redirect the system and data folders to their own image on the sdcard. Cos we sure dont have the space to store them in internal memory.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
Honestly I was thinking of a light way to install vmware ( or any virtualization tool and remember dalvik itself is a virtualization engine! ) which may lead supposed to run it like hyper v terminal in hyper v servers if you know it! For now we can think of the redirection of system and data to the external storage as a way to run 2 os on one machine but if we reach a way to run a virtualization platform I believe it should be great!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SpitFire-ZX:
Well in teory it should work! smartphones are a bit like pc.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1079898

Up is a case that worked but if you see this close you see that is not that good.

I think that you are missing some of the principal "rules" of vmware. you have always to be using the host and the virtual machine on top of it. and the host will be always working and consuming resources. in that case it won't be mutch left for the virtual machine! i believe that it would be better (Like someone said before) for you to take a look at the multiboot option!

CWM 3.x.x.x R5 has this option available! make a litttle search, i believe that it will be mutch better for you!

Cumps
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
well i know the principals of vmware what i'm saying we have already the kernel running u need only a shell application to install vmware and i believe kernel plus shell won't take more than 50 MB at max and 200MB will be left for vmware.

well it's an attempt man to see how much our device could endure tweaking :P

thanks :)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] SpitFire-ZX:
But then you would neet to have a virtual machine system like the one used in servers!

I see your idea and i understand the logic but it would require mutch more then our mobile specs! But anyway you had a great idea!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
Final results of testing virtualization over x10 mini pro!

I tested 3 virtualization methods over one of my x10 mini pro (all running over shell and kernel without roms on the phone all on sd) which are the following QEMU of Fedora vmware player and virtual box. What I arrived to in all 3 it was tooooooooooo slow I run different OSs like symbian and windows mobile and android 2.3.7 and my biggest challenge was to run UBUNTU on our mobile!

QEMU was the best in performance but still laggish with the attempt to load the os took like half an hour on the latest symbian S60 and almost the same for Android

The worst was VMWARE symbian didn't load android took almost 45 minutes to load...

At the end I want to mark the attempt of virtualization over our x10 mini pro as failed!

Ps. I lost one of my x10 mini pro phone totally after installing UBUNTU I believe I damaged some chips while I tried to flash some changes to the kernel to make it run over VMWARE!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] lex2193:
VMWare seems to be too heavy for this tiny hardware.

I think you should take a view at QEMU. This is minimalist, working correctly on Linux/ARM.

Personally , I'm sure that the performances will be awful whatever the emulator used.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
already tried QEMU and didn't work!

and honestly i even tried to modify QEMU to have a kind of simulation of our hardware and it failed!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] nit3wolf:
Failed because our phones have outdated and rather slow hardware... should work flawless on newer phones with more powerfull hardware. So yeah, it's not a completly failure.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] minachvim:
Well for now i'll stop working on this until I get better hardware :) thank you all for your advices and ideas:)

Dear Mr. Prabu,

I could not reply back since it says your PM box is not allowed to take replies so I decided to reply here.

If you would like me to remove this thread / reply let me know.

vprabu has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages. Therefore you may not send your message to him/her.

If you are trying to send this message to multiple recipients, remove vprabu from the recipient list and send the message again.

1. Call Quality - was excellent. It was never too loud or too low. It was near perfect reception. In fact the noise cancellation option can be disabled or enabled during the call! - 9 out of 10. You may see a screen shot

2. Battery life is excellent - I use 2G since I don't see much use of 3G right now, and the battery life is amazing. Remember there are options inside settings to "Save Battery" with many options of what you want to stop / reduce such as wireless, brightness,etc etc. Here I can give it a 8 out of 10.

3. Music loudness without headset is okay. Its not great honestly. Attaching headset or speakers is okay as well. I was sad to see that after attaching speakers I could not get the sound I expected. So on a scale from 1 to 10, I would give it only a 6 or a 7.

I hope this helps.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
All right folks - several hours later than I wanted to get this out to you, but here it is. Blame my new cat, she's wonderfully distracting. ;)

Requirements:

Samsung generation-2 WP7 device (Focus S or Focus Flash/Omnia 7 S).

Dev-unlocked (ChevronWP7 Labs or AppHub).

Interop-unlocked (yes, it works on your phones).

XAP deployment tool (any).

Helpful:

Screen capture app (good way to report results that are too long to type).

Good software testing skill (mostly, give me info as complete as you can).

A recent backup, if you're worried of damage, unless you're willing to hard reset.

Instructions:

Download the attached ZIP archive.

Extract the XAP file from the Bin\Debug\ folder.

Deploy the XAP to your phone.

Run the app (SamsungTest).

Note the initial message box with your phone name, case sensitive.

Tap the buttons to run tests.

Note the results of each test.

Note any exceptions that occur.

Report the results, including phone name, test output, and exceptions (with context).

Note: The Audio Mute test is a toggle; press it again to switch back. It is the only test that should modify your phone in any way, and should be both minor and easily reverted.

Developers:

The full source code of the app is attached, including the most important file (Samsung2Interop.cs), a helper with many useful constants (SamsungWin32.cs), and the native COM DLLs. You can see how I use the DLLs and how to build your own apps, or modify existing apps, using them.

Thanks sent to the first few people to give useful reports!

Well, that's a weird and disappointing result. I figured some might not work, but I didn't expect them all to fail and most certainly didn't expect either the app to crash silently or to get a FileNotFoundException!

OK, I've put together a v2 of the test app. It's got very few test changes, but should help me pinpoint the problem better, I hope...

One request when testing: I'm much more interested in the top of the exception than the bottom of the stack trace, so if you're going to screenshot part of it, go for that part. Thanks!

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
OK, I clearly need to investigate this more. It sounds like there's a systemic issue with how I'm accessing this data, although there are a few more tweaks I can make to the test. I'd be interested to get results from the other Samsung phone, the Focus Flash, but I doubt anything escept the first message will be different.

I'll post a new version or two later today. I want to take another look at exactly how the code gets called by the Diag app, just in case there's some weird initialization step or something.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] AdryJay:
I can test it on my new Samsung Omnia W (Focus Flash), but can you explain me how to convert the source in a .XAP?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] adiliyo:
if you're just trying to test it, the xap is in the folder mentioned in the OP, there's no need to build the xap, as it's done already.

if you want to play with the source and build an alternate xap to test that's another question that i'm sure someone can answer :)

Well, it confirmed two things: the string I can use to identify the Focus Flash, and that the problem with the app is not specific to the Focus S. At this point, that's almost more reassuring than if it had worked, since at least that means there aren't per-phone differences.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] Jaxbot:
Do you have a Focus Flash/S to play with, GDTD?

I believe the reason why we're having issues is that Samsung changed the driver DLLs, which would mean we would need to find a XAP from the Marketplace that has references to the gen2 DLLs. Or am I missing something?
