[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demandarin:
I'm seriously considering getting the Transformer. I really want the prime but this black Friday sale might be too good to pass up. I'd have a new tablet and money saved vs. Waiting for more expensive, $499, Prime version. My question is just like the title states. Only reason I want to be sure is because my Atrix 4g phone, stock, didn't allow non market apps to be installed. I had to root, then get non market apps enabled app from market place. Then now I can easily install those. I want to be sure as my research here is showing newer model Transformers has to be rooted using that Razorclaw apk. Which I already have downloaded into my iPad for quick email to new device, once I get it. I know not all android devices are like Atrix and others allow non market apps installed right out the box. I've read a thread or 2 here of people having issue with the root. So, far the most, is this a pretty simple, sure shot, root? Looks like one click n ur done. I don't even have this device yet n I'm already anxious to root n over clock this thing and try out this revolver rom I'm seeing thrown around a lot.

Like I said before, I really want the Prime, the best, but I might just be smart and getting the dramatically lower priced original transformer. As it will still be better than my iPad 1 amd will still be an upgrade. I have the money for the Prime but I have a 14 month old daughter also and bills...lol. I think it might be best to get the TF101 at $249(from best buy) or $299(from hhgregg). Both are great deals compared to original/normal price of this device @ $399.

Any input on the thread question or advice on getting original transformer or waiting for Prime will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

Yes you can "sideload" apps.

Only AT&T block "sideloading" hence you had to root and modified

Appreciate the speedy response. Yeah AT&T sucks on that part. Im grandfathered into the old unlimited data plan so that's only reason I'm still with them..lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bermie92:
Good day,

Before I begin I want you to know that I have really looked through a LOT of topics before I asked this question. I tried a lot of things prior but without success.

So let's start with the beginning;

I am using a Samsung Galaxy SII GT-i9100

I am a complete newbie when it comes to smartphones. I just bought the galaxy s2 a month ago as my first smartphone ever. Because I wanted to get rid of the ads I searched for an adblocker on the market, which indicated that I had to root my phone.

I followed this step by step guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1056334

And after this step things went wrong:

" - Press "Start". ODIN you should now be flashing the kernel, and the device should reboot."

It did sucessfully flash the kernel, but my device didn't reboot. It got stuck showing a yellow triangle instead.

Searching the forums, I've stumbled upon a bunch of topics. I discovered that a majority said that I can just use a stock rom to reflash the kernel again and have it back the way it was.

I followed this guide;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

and downloaded:

XWKDD

Firmware info

PDA:XWKDD

PHONE: XXKDH

Build date: 26/04/2011.

I downloaded this ROM because in the original galaxy S2 rooting guide there was also a file called "XWKDD", so I figured this was the right one.

I reflashed it using this file, saying that it was succesful but my device is still stuck on the yellow triangle.

Recovery mode will not start up either, but download mode isn't a problem.

While I was posting this question I noticed that the forum found me similar threads. I looked at this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1146532

I used the information from the user "forgetmyname" , I downloaded the ROM he mentioned and tried to reflash the kernel again. This time ODIN notified me that it had failed.

I did find a couple of more threads but I could still not figure out what I should do from this point on. My upright apologies if this has been posted somewhere, I honestly tried my best especially after watching the noob introduction video.

I hope someone can help me... my phone isn't lost yet is it?

Please take in account that I have absolutely zero experience with rooting or resetting, 3 hours ago I didn't even know what ODIN was... I just managed because the guides were so clear.

EDIT: I figured out that when I enter download mode it says "CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: YES (2 counts)

Does this have to do with any of it? And if so, how can I fix this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
As your phone does not boot correctly, you have to flash a stock ROM again using Odin.

Why don't you use the latest, stable and official version => XWKJ3?

You can find a non-wipe version in the third post "Frankenstein Firmwares" of Intratech's Official Firmware thread.

You already have the link to this thread.

Download this file (7zip file), put the extracted tar / md5 file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone.

Just make sure, that you start directly after flashing into recovery mode (by pressing Volume UP + Home + Power) - when your phone will be automatically booted.

Hold the three keys as long as you see the recovery menu.

Then wipe cache partition and reboot the phone.

If this helps then you can stick to Chainfire's CF-Root thread (you already have the link to it too).

Flash the CF-Root kernel for XW_KJ3 via PDA section of Odin to your phone - as described by Chainfire.

After flashing, please start recovery mode and wipe cache partition and - as you now will have ClockWorkMod (CWM) recovery mode - also clear Dalvik cache in Advanced menu.

Then reboot the phone.

If this does not help, but you are able to start recovery mode, you can try to do a factory reset.

As this will wipe all your data, make sure to backup everything you don't want to lose before flashing.

Good luck !

P.S.:

The binary counter is not critical.

It will be incremented for each insecured kernel you flash to your phone.

So, it could be an indicator for Samsung, that you have done something which voids your warranty.

If you don't have warranty issues, the counter is not important - just an information when booting into download mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bermie92:
Many thanks for your answer!

As you mentioned, I have downloaded;

XWKJ3

Android 2.3.5

This package has: PDA: XWKJ3| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

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

This was the XWKJ3 file in the 3rd post.

I unzipped it and tried to flash it in ODIN but the program is stuck on

"<ID:0/003> SetupConnection.."

I would add a screenshot but because I am new I am not allowed.

The complete list says:

<ID:0/003> Added!!

<OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

<OSM> Kernel_I9100XWKJ3.tar.md5 is valid.

<OSM> Checking MD5 finished Sucessfully..

<OSM> Leave CS..

<ID:0/003> Odin v.3 engine (ID:3)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

Any thoughts on this?

EDIT: I did some research myself, should've googled this before asking it here, my apologies. (Just removing the battery and putting it back in did it)

I managed to flash the kernel, but without success. The phone still refuses to start up in recovery mode, and will just leave the yellow triangle right where it was.

I immediately pressed Volume up, home and power button simultaneously too directly after flashing, I thought that maybe I had to do it right before it rebooted, no result.

It showed a yellow triangle when started, and now that I left the USB on it it shows a dark gray battery in the centre with a loading circle that seems to be stuck halfway through.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidkhaw:
How bout trying to flash a XKWDD file reflash and use the superoneclick to root it? It works for me though. Try this link http://www.inspiredgeek.com/2011/04...ing-xwkdd-insecure-kernel-with-superoneclick/

edit: sorry didnt saw you've already tried that 1.. I do 1 thing that solve this issue because im also having this previously.. try to re install your android SDK and it work for me after that.. then reflash XKWDD kernel again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bermie92:
Thank you for the answer!

I'm sorry for asking such a stupid question but I'm completely new around here and around this stuff... can you tell me what you do when you reinstall your android SDK? What is SDK anyway? Or can you point me to a topic?

Definitely worth trying out if it worked for you previously.

EDIT: If this eases things up, I really don't mind whether my phone is gonna be rooted now or not. I just want it to work again!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squidkhaw:
so sorry just realise i didnt reply on this for a month. android SDK..well i think you can google it for further detail and download from android sdk site.. you can also check out from this video for installing guide http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6K1XLmafPc

[General Questions and Answers] chalie993:
Hi all,

first i'm new to this forum and i seize the opportunity to say hello to everyone!

I'm planning to buy a new smartphone and i'm undecided about what phone between Samsung Galaxy S2 and the htc Sensation.

I really Like the Htc Sense and the sensation cut and I'm oriented to buy this one!

On the other hands GSII is more powerfull, more capacious but IHMO less handsome! It has also a more resistant and lightfull screen than the sensation!

Please XDA USERS answer to this poll, and explain me the PROS & CONS! :D
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
Well judging from the enormous HTC fanbase on xda, the sensation is more likely the one to win the poll. However I'm still going to go out and say the sgs 2 is the best in efficiency (obvious from the fact that little ram is used and the fluidity of the UI) for android. Any other android device out there that can play a 1080p youtube video?

However it really depends on what you want, eye candy or efficiency.
[General Questions and Answers] DistrictDigital:
The myTouch 4G Slide plays 1080p like its 360p... So smooth. But, GS2 for sure...
[General Questions and Answers] nfsmw_gr:
Yes,i totally agree with Kailkti...I've pesonally used the SGS2 and i was an owner of the 1st so i have to say i was blown away with it's speed!It's VERY fast and quite smooth but also simple to use and quite elegant actually...plus there are lots of custom roms and kernels to use to modify the device as you like!Even overclock the cpu/gpu plus more...

I think sensation is no match for SGS2...:)
[General Questions and Answers] chalie993:
another important aspect that i would deal with is also the battery lasting!

I really stress my current phone (my old dear nokia n95 8 gb)! I send like 100 sms per day! Are those devices able to live all the day long?
[General Questions and Answers] Kailkti:
Im not you so I can't speak for you. However for me this can last two days for me. If you are spend a day sending sms it might last. Granted your screen isn't on for more than 8-10hrs.
[General Questions and Answers] android-lover:
my friend own a sgs2 and my brother is using htc / my phones are in my sig :) i personally used both but htc leads the game

Samsung SGS2 = poor build quality in every 4 months u will need to buy new acc for it ..... / not that good with small hands / powerfull but do we really need that:)

HTC Sensation = Good build quality / good battery timing with data on / looks beautiful in all sized hands :) / every upcoming apps / games / new os supported

Htc the best ...
[General Questions and Answers] chalie993:
I really do not know what of those 2 smartphones buy!

SGS2 Is more powerfull and the battery lasts more than the htc! But The sensation IS SO COOL!!! Damn!
[General Questions and Answers] PearsonDKA:
I've owned both in the past and to be honest I enjoyed the Sensation a lot more. It just feels so good in the hands and the UI is addiciting as candy (somewhat). I was planning on getting one a few weeks ago but held off since Bell was releasing the HTC Raider. Been using the new Bold for awhile but that died soooo I get a free replacement from Best Buy and with that I'm most likely gonna go with the raider.

[General Questions and Answers] jonny68:
Former HD2 owner and a great phone it was too and i generally like HTC, however nothing can beat the SGSII in almost every aspect (ICS beta almost ready too);)
[General Questions and Answers] marqual2009:
HTC makes better phones but galaxy s 2 is better than sensation
[General Questions and Answers] chalie993:
double post! Sorry!
[General Questions and Answers] Babydollll:
As an extremely heavy user (two phones, both dead in eight hours or less) my Sensation's battery doesn't last that long unless I use an Anker extended (1900Mah) and a powerskin case (another 1500Mah) but I'm not the norm either. I love my Sensation (and I'm living in a house with a Nexus S, Sensation, Rezound, Vivid, Nexus One and two Galaxy tabs (10.1))
[General Questions and Answers] jimbo.levy:
The S2 is better as far as performance and screen quality goes but the build quality feels cheap and Touchwiz is gross. Sense is much better.

Both have their pros and cons I guess...
[General Questions and Answers] chalie993:
i think that i will buy the htc sensation!! I found it at 350€, where here the official prize is 599€!
[General Questions and Answers] ciprigeorgiu:
i am also in this dillema. curently owning an htc desire. wanted to go for the sensation but even if I expected nothing but good build quality from HTC i see hundreds of post on xda about dust under the screen, death grip and poor screen quality. so now i don't know wich to buy. btw htc sense is the only thing that keeps me near the sensation but i think that the sgs2 with a third party launcher would be even nicer. any suggestions?

Zynga Poker is a good, free poker game that works wonderfully on our big screen.
[Acer Iconia A500] blucmal:
Pulse news reader and fuugo video are my fav apps at the moment.
[Acer Iconia A500] alexrb:
gReader

IMDB

Dropbox

Evernote
[Acer Iconia A500] WarbyD:
Feedly, tapatalk, multipicture live wallpaper, thinking space, tunein radio pro, evernote and dropbox are my "must haves"

Best apps for you will depend on what u want to do with your tablet :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] hardslog:
It's all about what you want to do with the tablet. Do you use it for gaming? Work? Productivity? If it is a good app for your phone its likely a good app for your tablet. Some make better use of the large screen than others but the only real apps that didn't really work for me were the odd game that relies on the accelerometer. Some accelerometer games work fine but some of them seem to have the controls flipped.
[Acer Iconia A500] qhorque:
TuneIn Radio Pro is the best app I've used. Problem is that, once CBS decided to prevent streaming of their stations via any other app but Radio.com, TuneIn Radio Pro is much less compelling which is not the apps fault. It's amazing how many stations are owned by CBS. One reason there used to be effective media monopoly laws which apparently are no longer enforced.

Google Sky Map is great if you are into astronomy as is Star Chart, a similar app.

Random Factor MahJong is a great implementation of MahJong if you are into those tile games.

If you like HP calculators the best implementation I've found is HP12C Emulator by Rafel Dipold. It's the financial one (not the HP-15C scientific) but it's way worth the few bucks it costs (especially in comparison to the hundred or so a real one used to cost.) It's HUGE on a tablet but hopefully ICS will fix the scale issues between phone-centric and tablet apps.

If you are rooted, there's no comparison to Titanium Backup Pro.

ES File Explorer is my favorite file manager (Root Explorer is also good).

Without those apps, my days would be less productive or fun.
[Acer Iconia A500] CrazedGeek:
I quite love LogMeIn Ignition- it's expensive but well worth it.

JuiceDefender is pretty great- I can let my A500 sleep for a lot longer now.

MX Video Player is just boss- playback is perfect, and it's one of the few video players that you can add the external SD card easily.

Thumb Keyboard is really, really comfy.

And Google Voice is amazing (tablet interface could be a hell of a lot better, though).

(edited to add: Photoshop Touch is beautiful. Best thing that's ever come out of Adobe, IMO.)
[Acer Iconia A500] melcali:
big pictures look neat on these tablets. full screen. still blows me away.
[Acer Iconia A500] Afronicus:

So I find that taptu is a great Reader app.

Grooveip as a voip for your google voice account.

I agree, photoshop touch is super nice.

Would be really awsome if some1 could make a Odex ICS theme.

Why odex?

Because its optimized and several reports on odex being smoother and faster than deodex. Even if the differance is not huge its still better.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] snapper.fishes:
Just curious, what do you people have against deodexed roms? (If you say warranty I will virtually punch you).
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] hackeron:
I have voided my warranty 200 timed so it's certainly not that. It's because odex is faster and more smooth. And less memory used. It's only marginally better but anyway.

If you haven't noticed, more and more ppl have started to make odex roms/themes/tweaks lately.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] KMino:
The deodexed should work as has been mentioned. It's pretty easy to odex, deodexed files. Been after an ICS theme myself, so might look into it this week. But don't wait on me, is nerdy fun, everyone should learn to odex :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] RavoxX:
I've made my own theme for the S Plus, but it should work for the i9000 as well. Not everything is looking and will look like ICS, I'm still working on it, and originally I've made it for my own :) In general I only have changed the png's in framework-res and systemui. At the moment I have two main problems. The text in the notification-bar under "Ongoing" is black and I don't know how to change. Furthermore in the settings there are grey bars but I don't find the linked png. If I have to change this in the .xml's it would be great if someone upload the edited ones or what png it is. I will upload the zip tomorrow or today about 12pm, by now I'm sitting on the train. Just flash the zip via the Recovery. Credits go to the other ICS-theme in this forum for some buttons and images and to a theme for the Galaxy Note.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donverse:
Hi guys,

that is a problem that has bothered me for a long time and I'd really like a solution to this.

I'll start with an example:

Say, I have a folder on my PC. It contains subfolders and mostly but not only pdf files. I want to have that data on my Tablet/Phone too. But I don't want to have to transfer it through a USB cable or something similar. I want to have a two-way sync, so when I edit something on my PC / tablet, I want to change the file on the other device too.

And, most importantly, I want it to work in the background. I don't want to open an app on my tablet and tell it to download a folder, I just want it to see, what has changed and download that content LOCALLY.

Sure, that eats up space but I don't have that many documents.

I hope, I made my point clear, so is there anyone who can help or has any advice on how to achieve that?

Thanks in advance!.
