[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 580guy:
Thanks for your nice informative post. I have the GS2, in the 30 day window, and leaning toward Skyrocket, mainly for larger screen. Nice to hear there are improvements available for it, such as the ROM you mentioned.

No LTE in my area yet. Seems Skyrocket also gets better speed on HSPA too. And seems you can change APN's as a sort of work around to turn off LTE if you wish.

Still learning a lot thanks to nice posts like this one!

Thanks again!

Skyrocket is the bastardized version of the GS2s.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
The skyrocket in it's own rights IS a top line phone. A 1.5ghz dual core CAN perform.

But joking aside it is a bastardized version of the ogsgsii.

Yes it can be customized and have roms built for it. But it's file structure and how it reads media files for themes is alot different than many phones. Even down to how it plays a bootanimation is different and completely unknown. It's definitely Samsung, but been raped with an unknown twist separating it from the majority of previous Samsung dev work (status bar toggles mods seem to be about 90% compatible and since made 100% compatible, so there's got to be a few others things)

With it being so different developers are going into it blind. They don't have roms that they can compare their work to if they're having problems. They don't have nearly compatible kernels from any other phone they could try patching to make compatible with the phone. And no, the tmobile SGSII doesn't count as it's nearly the same phone. Development for both are at the same speed.

Again though, that doesn't mean it can't be worked on and made much better. It does mean it will be alot harder and take alot longer to get where our phones already are.

It kills me when skyrocket users say the ogsgsii is old and outdated and the skyrocket is new. If that's the case they are insulting the skyrocket. That a 'new' phone *stock*, is the same or lower benchmarks as our 'old' phone *stock*. And that phone overclocked to a higher clock rating still doesn't beat an ogsgsii phone overclocked.

Yes it has lte, but check out how many are getting throttled who still have unlimited. There's a bunch that are getting 5% messages and they're only around 5 and 6gb's of usage.

Yes the skyrocket is an amazing phone in it's own rights. And I hope alot of dev work gets done on it and people like it.

My saying is: Android and sex are alot alike. Even bad android is still android.

I'm 99% sure there is no more unlimited data on at&t at all *unless of course you signed up for it last year ..

if you dont need LTE go with the GSII but don't believe all the other stuff bad about the skyrocket ... screen not AS sharp means neglible difference and quite a few strong GB roms available such as Sky Alien Nexus 4 and few others

Im pulling near 7500 on antutu

now ICS roms from the same solid devs are coming slowly but much more solid imho it seems the gsII dev section is just littered with everybody doing them no telling whats what until picking thru it days on end

battery life is awesome when switching out of LTE to standard 4g and it's nice to have that option at your dispoasal ..

how tffff do you spell dispoasl I'm kinda tipsy right now

Really im not new about doing this things about how to flash correctly with odin, etc.. But I really do the things correctly I already flash with stock JFD <-- well that's eclair.. the phone works 100% but i had froyo before I flash to stock so i put the official version firmware that T-Mobile launch.. my phone don't start... in Odin say succesful.. it never turn on,No recovery, No download mode.... Some people say that a USB Jig will turn on the phone?, but i don't think so? why can turn on if the phone don't work the 3 combos?, :@. Also i read about t mobile block the keymapping or someting like that?.. I should be able to have my cellphone in download mode with a usb jig? i will buy it if someone tell me if I have a little hope with my phone.. :(

Please help! ...

the phone seem dead.. like a toy ..

I called in my country a place specialized on cellphone repair and say something that if the phone don't turn on they cant repair it because the MOTHERBOARD is dead ( broken ) idk.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Before purchasing a JIG to get into Download Mode try this...

Make sure you have ODIN OPEN with admin privileges!

1.) Take off your back cover, remove your sim & mirco sd card.

2.) Remove your battery.

Make sure you have the USB plugged into your PC but NOT your phone!

3.) Hold the volume buttons.

4.) Put the battery in.

5.) Put the USB in.

You don't necessarily need the download mode image to be present. As long as you are getting the COM ID to light up yellow in ODIN, just flash back to stock like normal.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liowdanger:
no don't work and also no light up yellow in ODIN ;/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manus ferrera:
I have a jig and it works man its definitely worth the try.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
Yeah, if the above method didn't work then try a JIG... Here's one for cheap on ebay... http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-i90...Accessories&hash=item45fcfe0818#ht_500wt_1287

I was visiting India for a couple of weeks on business and I noticed a live one sitting on my neighborhood cell phone store! Asked to see it, naturally! Frigging huge! Holy **** almost the size of my nook color! How is someone supposed to talk with this???? It's 34k rupees here, almost 660$... Pretty cheap Imo. I love the display, I was almost ashamed to bring out my captivate! Almost... Then I remembered that I can talk with my captivate. Lol..

I just got my note today.

Amazed. The screen is beautiful and its FAST.

In love...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
I have no problem gripping the Note and talking with it. Doesn't look awkward at all.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] HTC Chris:
So I'm guessing you spend more time talking on your captivate than actually using it as a smart phone.

I don't spend more than 10 minutes on the phone when outside so having the big phone to my face is no big deal. If you plan on talking for a long time that's what bluetooth, speakerphone, and headsets are for. Browsing the web, watching video, and gaming is what I mainly use my Note and previous smartphones for...this phone overly satisfies what I look for in a phone.

Is this a troll thread? Obviously we speak via telepathy on our Galaxy Note DUH.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sirtrancealot:
Got my Note about a week ago, absolutely amazing, has been the envy of just about every other smartphone owner in my office. (particularly the people who just forked out ~$800 for a 4GS, when i tell them i got the note for $730 delivered)

few people gripe about it being too big. imo, if it fits in your pocket, it's just right!

as I jot down things on post-its constantly this is PERFECT, my desk and monitor are no longer covered in yellow squares.

I do miss the trackball from my HTC desire tho.. but otherwise this is better in almost every respect. (still think the Stock Samsung Icon set looks cheap and nasty tho)

Rooting and installing CWM was a peice of cake, looking forward to some quality custom roms to hit this very robust device :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Bcroc:
Just switched from Desire to GNote, and I also miss the trackball. One more thing that I miss is the notification led... But in overall the pros far outweigh the cons :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] psycho2097:
Okay... Still in India.. Saw a live gs2 today... Man, USA is really far behind in having live displays around! Dummies everywhere! First time I saw a live gs2, even though it has been out for 6 months.. Man that things is freakishly fast, my captivate looked like a freaking kid.... Didn't notice a whole lot of difference in the displays though, point to be noted here is that I use voodoo color. My girlfriend actually said my captivate looked better, at full brightness n same galaxy lwp. I laughed, of course... Lol!

But man o man.. That 720p display looks sweet on the note, imagine how great it would look on a screen of 4.6".. Plus a manageable form factor.... Nexus here I come!

[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Looks like Liberty v1 and v2 are not requesting an IP address from the local DHCP server but are instead using an IP address that appears to be statically set, 192.168.1.137

Could someone run

ifconfig tiwlan0

and post results to confirm?

I tried killing the wireless and setting a static IP address using ifconfig but the bionic will not show in the wireless devices on my router.

I have also done a factory reset to see if that clears things up and it does not.

And help or suggestions are welcome.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
From what I can gather. Mine is working correctly using v2.0...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Thanks, would you mind posting a ifconfig tiwlan0 too?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Here ya go. Hope this helps out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Well at least that gives me some sort of idea.

Leads me to another question though.

Is there a way to do a thorough wipe? Regular just isn't cutting it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] djr4x4:
Maybe start over again? Wipe, and restore, and redo everything and see if it may fix it? I had installed liberty3 v1.0, then installed test 5 and upgraded to v2.0. Maybe there was a fix in there somewhere? Not sure. Maybe someone else will chime in that could help more on this..

@OP

Can I ask, any specific reason that a new thread is created for this and not posted in the on the Liberty Rom thread in the dev section?

Cheers!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
Because it may or may not be related to the ROM and could be something device specific or that I have done. Rather than posting an annoying bug report I would like to confirm.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] PG101:
Thanks for the clarification. Would you flash another rom (say Eclipse for instance) to check if it is rom related?

Cheers!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Terror_1:
I'm working on it now actually. Went to stock debloated and dhcp seems to be working.

[EDIT] FXZ to stock then root, then back to Libert3 v1.0, appears to be working now, waiting for my lease to expire in about 20 minutes to be able to tell for sure. At least it's requesting a DHCP lease again... so that's a start.
[Verizon Droid Charge] id1dave:
It has been a point of frustration that I have been unable to get work email on my Charge because it doesn't meet the security requirements of my employer. (Actually, I was getting email but they caught me).

When I asked about the requirement they said it needed to support encryption. The Droid 2, Droid 3, Droid Pro, and Bionic are all acceptable apparently.

So with this new OTA update it appears as if they are adding encryption to the Charge. I sent this link to the security manager (http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/droid_charge.pdf - note the security enhancement details) and he tells me that it isn't enough. The problem is with Samsung is that they (the security team) don't know how Samsung does their encryption and Samsung hasn't been responsive to their inquiries. Apparently they know enough about Motorola phones to deem them ok.

Anyway, this was a long lead-in to the question: does anyone know how Samsung is doing encryption on the Charge? (as it is the security team asking, I am assuming that the answer is more in-depth than "hardware based" or "software based")

Would appreciate any help or links to info. Thanks in advance.

Full device encryption - Samsung Droid Charge (Gingerbread Update)

Hi,

I'm sorry I do not have an answer to your question, but I have a related question for you. Have you been able to enable encryption on the Samsung Droid Charge? I haven't found a simple way to do it, and even the Verizon technical support folks weren't able to answer this question. I even tried using the SGS2 application, which is meant for the Galaxy S 2, but that did not work either. Any insights into how to enable this feature, which you may be able to provide, would be very helpful.

Thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
What are trying to encrypt? One of the features of the GB update for the Charge is that it allows encrypted VPN connections.

Are you trying to encrypt the contents of the SD card? Are you trying to connect to corporate email over VPN?

I'm sure there is a fairly simple way of implementing SD card encryption if that is what you are after.

I suspect you'd have a peformance drop in I/O on the SD card though.
[Verizon Droid Charge] v1x:
I am trying to encrypt the device as well as the SD card (same situation as parent poster: my workplace requires a device that can be fully encrypted), and had called Verizon, but their technical support staff weren't able to explain how to do it, although they confirmed that the new Gingerbread update did, in fact, add this capability to the Droid Charge. They deferred me to Samsung, and I have yet to receive a response from Samsung on how to accomplish this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I'll have to check this out. I wonder is SD card encryption makes USB mass storage useless.
[Verizon Droid Charge] mefloump:
Touchdown by NitroDesk will do what you need to get corporate email. Spendy at $20, but well worth it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
I've used Touchdown and I can recommend it. Still, the workplace may required device encryption as well.

I just got one of those Generic Bluetooth keyboards from Hong Kong, only $20.00 pretty nice. I am on CM7.1 alpha 3 now. Only difference from a-2 seems to be the top left button that looks like the home button on an ipad no longer works. It used to act as a back button. Anybody know which button to mod in the layout file?

Why'd you buy a generic one when you can find the HP bluetooth keyboard for $19.99. I've seen it multiple times for that price.

[G Tablet Android Development] the3dman:
I have been trying to get the kindle fire software running on the Gtablet, so far I can get through registration. After that force closes like crazy. If anyone has any ideas that might help feel free to discuss, in the mean time I will keep at it and see what happens, and if I get it to a useful state I will release it. I am currently using Flashback as a base which may account for some of the issues since the kindle fire runs 2.3 however I have had less apps crash on HC.

I have added crash logs below and rather than upload all the apps/libs that are required to even boot the launcher, I have uploaded a CW rom flash for the 1.2 bootloader only!! The rom is tlbardelljr's Flashback with some amazon stuff added.

*Update* I have managed to get it past registration, but then it force closes (com.amazon.kindle.otter). I am now at a stand still until I either learn more about modding apps to work with the core os, or I find a developer who has more knowledge than I to help get this going. If you are interested in helping and are knowledgeable in this area please contact me with a PM. Thanks, and in the mean time I will get to learning :-)

*Update 11-26-11* Thanks to rajeevvp I am getting a little bit further with sorting out errors (I get past registration now) hopefully I will have something new soon.

*Update 12-6-11* The issues appear to be OpenGL/Driver related now, so for now I am putting this project aside. If anyone would like to take over from here feel free.

Warning: This is for testing purposes only!!! Be sure you know how to use nvflash!!!

[G Tablet Android Development] barracudacm:
Just out of curiosity. Since the Kindle Fire software was developed for froyo, have you tried like a vegan tab 5.11 ROM. I know some modules in the kernel software are present in the vegan froyo ROMS that are not present in the later kernels. This is a great idea and I will be watching this thread with great anticipation. Maybe you could post the software you are trying to load. Like if it is an APK host with mediafire or something. Then others like me can download and try to get it working too. once again GREAT IDEA!!!!!
[G Tablet Android Development] weebnuts:
Awesome, this is exactly what I want, wish I could help
[G Tablet Android Development] strra:
I thought the kindle fire was gingerbread?
[G Tablet Android Development] the3dman:
I think you are right. I read an old article, it is 2.3. I will be updating with my crash logs and files soon.
[G Tablet Android Development] the3dman:
I have tried vegan with no luck, the launcher won't even start on vegan. I have also tried to make a full from port with the vegan kernel and I can't get it to boot. I am not super experienced with ports though. I am a themer at heart, but just decided to try this because it is something that I would use a lot.
[G Tablet Android Development] weebnuts:
I am guessing they made quite a bit of changes to the underlying system
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
At least 3 errors are readily evident from the log file.

1. "No JNI_OnLoad found in /system/lib/libCommonWrapper.so 0x40587208, skipping init"

This looks like the wrong libCommonWrapper.so library is being used. Check for multiple copies of this file, or, if there is only one copy, try using the /system/bin/linker and /system/lib/libdl.so from the Kindle Fire.

2. "Error creating directory /system/etc/labdictionary"

The /system partition may be mounted read-only or the application trying to create the directory might not have permissions to create it in /system/etc. Create the directory and use the permissions of the original dir on the Kindle Fire.

3. "Native KRF library failed to load.

java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Couldn't load ft2KRF: findLibrary returned null"

This looks like a straightforward library missing problem. Look for any *KRF* in /system/lib on the Kindle Fire and copy those files to the same place on your ROM.
[G Tablet Android Development] the3dman:
Thanks for the assistance, it is much appreciated. I will definitely try these.
[G Tablet Android Development] the3dman:
I have set permissions and created the directory but am still getting: "Error creating directory /system/etc/labdictionary"

Also I cannot use the linker from the kindle I just get bootloops when I try.
[G Tablet Android Development] barracudacm:
Not quite sure if this will help. But here is a gingerbread kernel that slimm6099 compiled for me for use with gingerbread. He used alot of normally unused modules to make it,.. including loop device support and swap functionality. Just thought it might help.

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/14075340/barracudacm-kernel.zip

p.s. I cant boot linux or bactrack5 on gingerbread without this kernel. (dont know if thats relevant?!......)
[G Tablet Android Development] the3dman:
Thanks, I will give it a shot.
[G Tablet Android Development] rajeevvp:
Hmm. That's strange. Are other dirs/files missing? Try doing a filesystem comparison using the file listing on both devices using adb if possible. On a Linux system (on Windows, install Cygwin first):

[I]Connect gTab to PC[/I]
$ [B]adb shell find /system | sort > gtab-find.txt[/B]
$ [B]adb shell ls -lR /system > gtab-ls.txt[/B]

[I]Disconnect gTab and connect Kindle Fire[/I]
$ [B]adb shell find /system | sort > kfire-find.txt[/B]
$ [B]adb shell ls -lR /system > kfire-ls.txt[/B]

[I]Find differences[/I]
$ [B]diff -Bbu gtab-find.txt kfire-find.txt[/B]

Then look for dirs/files missing on the gTab and use the detailed listing in the kfire-ls.txt as a guide to creating the correct permissions.

That is a risk you always take when messing around with the linker. Did you also copy the /system/lib/libdl.so library? Try using the linker and libdl.so from the latest CyanogenMod update.zip file.

Well after playing around some more I got it narrowed down to one major issue. OpenGL seems to be what is now causing the force close, and I think until we get some proper drivers we are sol. I could be wrong, like I stated in the OP I am just an amateur at this. So for now I am going to take some time away from this, but if anyone would like to pick up from where I am leaving off then feel free.

[G Tablet Android Development] nyciz:
Hi All:

I'm a long time Viewsonic GTablet owner and have ran just about every ROM xda/slatedroid/ and other have to offer.

I really appreciate the work that ppl have done here but was curious as to why other than just because we can.

My friend has purchased a Kindle Fire and there are a few things really like about it and somethat I really hate. This all JMO and in no way am I trying to knock the work being done here. With that said, here are some of my observations:

-PRO- Kindle Fire UI is one of the cleaniest I have ever seen and I've been a tablet user for over a year now.

-PRO- the "newstand" UI concept is one that can get even the most non tech person into a tablet with the least amount of pain

-CON- Marketplace is not available

-CON- need to setup yet another email account on amazon (cant use a google account)

-CON- cant add additional mail accounts (gmail, yahoo, hotmail, etc) simpily

My overall impression is that the Fire is a inexpensive Ipad for digital consumer that want to do just that, consume, and not pay $700 to have the right to do so.

Good luck too all and happy holidayz, I'll keep an i-out to see if we make any progress and will glady be a alpha-beta tester.
