Reboots

Glad someone is keeping track of this. I think we need to contact Motorola about these issues. A brief history, my first XT910 from Rogers had this reboot issue, first it was ok for the first 2 days then the reboots started. It basically turns itself off and not back on again. Replaced the first one under the warranty period through Rogers. Second phone this time it didn't reboot for the first day, second day it just died and wouldn't turn back on. My third and final one and I told Rogers never going to a 4th, they offered me a promotion on a Galaxy S II LTE so I went and got that one. This 3rd one worked fine up until a few days ago when it started to shutdown on its own. What I noticed before it shuts down is it Beeps and then shuts down. Second shutdown actually happened when I was holding the phone after pushing the wake button. Today it shutdown twice in less than 3 hours time and it did the same thing Beeped and shutdown even though the battery level is at 90%. The bulid dates on all three phones is newer than the Oct build dates in fact this last one is built on Nov. 20 2011 at 4:30pm. Yup the other two was around this same time frame. Strange how no one else seems to not find there is an issue with this phone.:mad:

Guys, I'm kinda confused here - isn't a green tint IS a norm for PenTile RGBG? Or were RGBG screens used only in pre-release models? Or were those in pre-release "more green-tinted" than "normal" PenTile RGBG?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] circleofomega:
it is a pentile display...secondly I have a question...how does one know it's its a pre-release model, except the "Confidential Motorola Restricted Property: Not For Sale" notification...i mean, should we check the box before buying or once we purchase it, immediately check the device make in settings>info?

A very nice habit that can earn you brain cancer. Have you thought about it? Your phone is still connected to cell phone towers even at sleep.

Especially if it is in flight mode.

It has never been proven that cell phones have any influence on anyone;s brain.

Sorry, I know this probably belongs in the development forum, but I don't have enough posts under my belt. Thought about putting up dummy posts somewhere, but I thought that might be frowned upon.

I'm running unNamed 1.3.0. Is there a mod out there to have call log entries from the same people grouped together? Like if there are several consecutive calls to and from the same person, it would show up as one entry, with the detailed history if you select the grouped item. I think Froyo did this (Atrix and Thrill). I've seen a lot of people ask this question for different devices but not for the GS2, plus having a custom rom (I did search the unnamed dev thread, but I'm not about to go read all 168 pages of that thread; I read about twenty).

I know there are apps out there for my issues but I'd like to avoid that if possible. If that's being too picky, feel free to let me know. Is something like Dialer One the way to go?

Thanks for reading!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] johny_i:
call log shortcut

if anyone is interested, there's an app in the Market called Call Log Shortcut. It is exactly what it's called. For some reason I had trouble finding a way to get a call log shortcut. Didn't look in the most obvious place because I'm a moron. I think Froyo had it (or at least the Atrix and Thrill did) but it's not on the GS2.

Free and no shady permissions.

thanks
[Fascinate General] mcteazy:
thanks so much! save me tinkering time
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Thanks! On my to do!

EDIT - thinking about this on the way into work. Should we include a step (if the complete wipe doesn't do it) to wipe the battery stats? Could be done in CWM after flashing the ROM, or through an app like battery calibration on boot up. Also, we should note on the coming from froyo that you only need speed kernel if you do not have an option to get CWM. When I ran froyo I had a voodoo kernel so could get to CWM that way.

Also, is miui EXT4 out of the box (no need for a lagfix)? Given its next to latest GB I'm assuming it is :)

Just some thoughts - hoping to do this tonight, but one quick question for the group - flashing - so do you all make sure you have a full battery before you flash? I've not always done that in the past, but believe its a best practice.

NEW EDIT - almost forgot, great work as always Adam!
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Thanks Jeff, the Voodoo kernel should also work as well. In regards to wiping the battery, I never did but it might be a good idea just in case. I haven't run into any issues as of yet. (knock on wood)

Not 100% sure on this at the moment, but I do know that there is no need for Lagfix with Miui or CM7.

It definitely is good practice to Flash a new ROM when the battery is almost 100% full. Now saying that, I have flashed ROMS when my battery has been as low as 40% - 45% and never had any issues.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I think that's the best comment Adam - why apply a lagfix if one is not needed! :)

Cannot wait to give this a run - hoping tonight assuming my little ones all go to bed, and my wife does not get too annoyed with me ;)

[MIUI Themes and Lock Screens]

The Miui Rom is very customizable when it comes to themes and lock screens.

The Miui 'Themes' application allows you to download, install, customize and apply all different types of themes. Which I would have to say that there are at least a good 100 + or more themes out there at the moment.

I think the best feature that the 'Themes' app has to offer is that you have the option to apply different theme components to the current base theme that you have it set to!

As an example, I currently have one of the 'Honeycomb' themes applied as my base theme, my Lockscreen is based off the 'Slide Slip' theme, my Icon Set is based off the 'Seemless Dark Blue' theme and my Dialer is also based off the 'Seemless Dark Blue' theme. It feels like the possibilities are endless now when it comes to customization.

To see the different components the way the themes are broken down, choose 'Edit Theme' from within the 'Themes' app. Within here you can then assign other theme components as long as you with have the full theme installed or just that one component.

Installation of .mtz files, (Full Themes / Theme components)

Once you have downloaded a compatible Miui theme (.mtz format), copy that file to the following directory on your phone:

/sdcard/MIUI/theme

(You can also import themes from the themes application itself, all that does it move it to that directory for you)

Then open up the 'Themes' app and your new theme will be in the list.

NOTE:

If its a theme component only (Still .mtz format) , eg. Lock Screen component, it WILL NOT show up in your main Theme list. Just click on 'Edit Theme' and it should show up under the drop down for 'Lockscreen Style'. Get what i mean?

:)

For full Miui themes, check out the link below:

Also, the Theme app has an Online library that you can search through as well

EDIT flashing in process - factory reset at the moment
[Fascinate General] wileyvic:
Awesome! Thanks for creating this. Just gotta wait until the weekend to take the plunge. It's not the flashing taking too long that I worry about, but the time I spend restoring apps and settings and just playing around in general. Not to mention having time to start over if I feel something went wrong. Two more days to go! :)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
guessing it shouldn't boot loop - I'm stuck in a boot loop :(

looks like it cannot find the SD card - so keep restarting looking for the miui zip - the CWM error is quick before it restarts (can't see it)

EDIT : re-downloaded the zip but same effect. Anyone hit this before with cm7 or miui? trying a few things before I attempt a restore.

I get to 'checking bml' before it reboots, and then it boot loops continuously - I tried flashing and not flashing the glitch kernel first, but nothing sticks.

EDIT : giving up, attempting a restore of my nandroid I made before I started. Any tips let me know - disappointed.

EDIT : still up, backup didn't go so well - likely cause I have odd kernels - one last ditch - went right back to froyo stock, tried speedmod (bootloop), now put on 9.2, rebooting - may give it one more shot before giving up for the night.

EDIT - SON OF A ***** - that did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might have to provide some troubleshooting tips on that one!!!!!!!!

EDIT AGAIN - knock on wood here - I'm farther than the bootloop and I'm at a MIUI splash screen - that might be as far as I go tonight ... LOL

FINAL EDIT - so not much playing tonight. Ate into that with all this trouble shooting.

SO IF YOU ARE COMING FROM A GB ROM AND GET STUCK IN A BOOTLOOP - I would go to STOCK FROYO and then flash 9.2 and then follow the instructions. Bang on job Adam! I think I just had something odd on my phone.

I'm now up - gltich on + miui.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Wow, sorry you had such a hard time man. Only time I hit a hard bootloop was when trying to install CM7 using gingerbread bootloaders. Did you eventually get it going??

Sent from my Telus T959D
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
yeah, see my last edits - putting on 9.2 I'm guessing didn't completely adjust the bootloaders - when I put on stock telus 2.1, THEN 9.2 - I was golden.

Didn't play much (that was after 12) but restored a few apps - but man, it is really fast. Will report some thoughts over the weekend likely.

Questions on MIUI

OK a few questions.

- downloaded google maps (navigation, etc). Start it up, but it fails miserably - bombs out and goes into a constant vibration. ANyone having similar issues with that? Suggestions?

- There's a 6 digit number in the left corner of my screen - no meaning to me - anyone know what that is or seeing something similar?

- also, pinch and zoom with the camera. Those don't seem to work - any issues you folks having with that?

- Adam you suggest a different base band - where are you getting zip - I'm only finding large tars on that link (but I"m over tired) ;)

- The OTA updater looks great BUT is in chinese - any one have a work around for that?
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Again, sorry about all the issues you had with installing and such. My very first time

Weird man, I actually installed google maps a few days ago. First time I used it (Navigation) was yesterday to test out the GPS. Had no problems at all with the apps yet.

That is your Service Provider. With CM7 and Miui, I noticed it doesn't resolve the provider. Its no harm unless you don't like looking at numbers there. I did find a work around though, just install the Miui Extended Menu Mod and you can change it to what ever you want:

http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?7738-MOD-Extended-Settings-Menu-Options

Pinch and Zoom? Unsure what you mean, is that just the touch-point focus? If not I haven't tested that yet.

Guess I better check my links more better. Stupid site.

For now use this one. I know your in the same geo area as me, I haven't had any issues with this one, use the one attached.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Oh, don't use the OTA updater, just use ROM Manager. Or download the Miui updater app from the market.

I'm guessing MIUI originally was developed in China, lol
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
OK - maybe I should reflash. I actually have ROM Mgr premium - but its telling me I need CWM installed to work (which I obviously have).

And no apologies needed - we're all guinea pigs here :)

EDIT - Also, on the camera - used to be able to pinch like a website on Darky's to zoom in and out. Maybe that was a custom camera but I think it was generally samsung stock.

EDIT - Reflashed (1.11.18 actually - am I the first :) ) and GPS issue solved - might have been tied to the modem as I flashed yours Adam (THANK YOU!!!!!!) Keeping moving forward :)
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Might be the best thing to do. I've read that some people prefer to >> Flash the ROM first >> Flash Kernel >> Boot into Kernel CWM >> Re-Flash ROM again.

Yeah, if you do there is no need for the Darky steps anymore.

Just boot into CWM, do factory wipe, partition and dalvik cache, fix permissions, then flash miui again.

Oh, in regards to ROM Manager and CWM, just select 'Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery' >> Select I9000 (MTA) and choose version 3.

Then reboot into recovery to test.

It actually still uses the Glitch CWM from the Kernel. This is just so that ROM Manager will recognize that you have a selected CWM
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Looks like Miui 1.11.18 is now out. I'm going to Flash and test it out shortly.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Already on it - best you for the FIRST time! ;)
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

I'm loving Miui and the glitch kernel man. There are a few other Kernels out there that we can try as well. I maybe testing the platypus kernel out soon, it is also built for our phone too :)

From what I've read so far though, Glitch is one of the best so far. :)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
when you get 1.11.18, go to ROM manager and select update ROM - does nothing happen? I have it registered now with a CWM which is fine, it shows my current version (which is latest) so when I click check for udpates nothing happens (no - 'no update available' or anything like that). Just wanted to see if it was working correctly.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
To answer your question it looks like MIUI does use EXT4. I just opened up the Miui 1.11.18 package and there is a file there called 'make_ext4fs'

:):):)
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Same here, ROM Manager use to say 'No updates available for your ROM' or something like that but it doesn't anymore. I don't get anything either.

I just checked the Miui 'Updater' application and it works perfectly. Shows that a new version is available, 1.11.18.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Which MIUI updater are you using?

---------- Post added at 04:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Yeah, that was my gut feel as well - man it is F A S T. Amazing how we thought stock 2.3.3 was fast, then Darky's, then newer Darky's, now MIUI.

EDIT - found the camera focus - slider in the top right corner - I like that better than the pinch - more accurate.
[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
The app name is just 'Updater', located in the 'Tools' folder.

I love some of the stock Miui Apps.

- File Explorer got a facelift and is ten times better!

- Backup, Great for backing up apps and system stuff

- The Monitor app is awesome. Don't need a 3rd party app now to keep track of the 3g data usage. Also keeps track of incoming / outgoing call times.
[Fascinate General] Matt5606:
Wow you guys are definately paving the way for our phones, thanks alot!

With all this talk about Miui, would you guys recommend this over Darkys? I'm running 10.2.2 , no TW (just cuz i dont know of anything else lol :rolleyes:) and i dont seem to have any significant problems to make me want to move to something else. I'm interested though in freeing up RAM as with mine i'm always running in the 280MBs used mark. Does it outperform Darkys?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Hey Matt - its faster. This weekend I'll write up some thoughts.

I'm definitely a MIUI expert - I've had it on my phone for over 12 hours </sarcasm>

So far I'm not crying to go back - although debated it earlier this morning, but have resolved my problems.

Between me, Adam, and Buck we're hashing out some stuff, running into different problems and collectively solving them - so hopefully the next flasher will be starting off from a different spot than us.

If you are happy on 10.2.2 and not itching to flash (I *had* to flash :) ) I would wait till some of the dust settles here.

... but right now - 12 hours in - pros are out weighing the cons - but if you HATE iOS, or LOVE the app drawer - then definitely wait on MIUI as its very iOSish and the app drawer are gone (I thought I'd miss it - I do not - great folder support).

Also, some errors are in Chinese (the updater when you go to register) but I have a friend from China who helped me out with that :)
[Fascinate General] chubster7383:
Hey all,

Just got my Telus Fascinate 3G+ last week and got to this thread from the other one. Initially I bought a Nexus S but then found a mint used Fascinate at half the price. Sold the Nexus S and have been very happy with the Fascinate as it's specs are comparable and in some cases even better ie. 720p video recording.

After running stock 2.2 for a few days, I decided to take the plunge and start flashing. I'll try and add some pointers below for others to reference. Note I haven't touched Odin and only installed Kies for the device drivers in order to use Superoneclick and root the phone on 2.2 so I could unlock it. That was super simple thanks to Galaxy S Unlock (free) app found in the market.

First I flashed the Voodoo lagfix kernel after replacing the 3e recovery with the modified one allowing flashing of unsigned zips from this link: http://mortalpowers.com/news/clockw...laxy-s-vibrant-an-extremely-dangerous-journey

This allowed me to flash the voodoo kernel from recovery.

Next decided I wanted to try CM7 so I followed these instructions:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1115090

Basic summary: I was at stock 2.2 with voodoo kernel. Followed the guide step by step bypassing the odin part.

1. Disable lagfix

2. Within CWM recovery flash Glitch13 kernel

3. Flash CM7 nightly for galaxysmtd (I flashed this right after 2.)

4. Reboot but it got stuck at the Samsung/CM logo or perhaps I didn't wait long enough!

5. Got into CWM recovery and flash Glitch13 kernel again

6. Rebooted and was in CM7.

7. Had no service / blank imei until I flashed an appropriate modem. That freaked me out :)

Everything ran well but decided to try MIUI. Went with Mintberry after seeing that in bucknetbucky's sig. Quite straightforward flash as I was already running the Glitch13 kernel. It's a very nice looking ROM coming from someone who had an iPhone. I've only been running MIUI for 24 hrs now and so far so good. A few lockups which were probably my fault ie. trying to restore apps/data from titanium backup made in 2.2.

Sorry for the long message. Love this phone and hopefully this thread will grow as it sounds like we have a good group ready to try stuff out!

Here's what's on my phone:

MintBerry 1.11.11 + Glitch13 + UGKG3 modem

While searching for a ROM to maximize battery life, I found Juwe's which a lot of peeps seem to like. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=964672&page=761

Has anyone tried it? I know there will be some button remapping required since it's an I9000 rom. Still need to do some research as I'm worried I'll lose 3 button recovery in case I need to flash a modem.
[Fascinate General] Headbang3r:
what about the 959P though? the Telus fascinate 4g? any news regarding this device? i do not seem able to find gathered information about the device in order to root install custom rom...
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Welcome aboard Chubster - one thing I HIGHLY recommend is that you get yourself a USB jig. For example, I was pooched last night, without a jig I would have been dead in the water. We play a risk with our phone as its not supported by any ROM directly that I know of ... but its a calculated risk as we try things and support one another.

I know the jig has saved several of us at this point, and you would be hard pressed to find someone who would not recommend one :) Nice you were only on 2.2 as trying the different ROMs is much easier from froyo.

Also, if you want excellent battery life, I would recommend Darkys ROM which you will find lots of support on threads from same crew here moving to MIUI as most of started on that ROM. Its comparable to Juwe in look and feel - GREAT community support on their forums as well.

[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Thanks Jeff for the Carrier Fix. :)

I ended up trying the SuperCharger script out, installed it with the script Manager App. It does make a noticeable difference, it changes the allocation of how the internal memory is managed by the OS. It works fine on Miui and settings stick after reboot as well :)

(I've read that some custom ROMs do not retain the changes after a reboot, there is a work around for that as well though.)

I ended up installing the 'Extended Settings Menu' Mod which is pretty neat, oh and they also have included an actual App Drawer in that Mod which I thought you may be interested in ;)

[Fascinate General] iwebsource:
Looks we need to assign the proper CMW recovery from ROMManager.

In ROM Manager, select 'Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery' >> Select I9000 (MTA) and choose version 3.

Once that is completed, boot into CWM via ROM Manager.

It should boot you into CWM (Blue), delete the partition and dalvik cache. Then re-flash the glitch kernel.

The main thing is to get the proper CWM selected in ROM Manager, the I9000 works with the T959D Model.
