Truth be told, if Ice Cream Sandwich wasn't coming out on the Galaxy S II the Epic 4G Touch would be placed second on my list next to the iPhone 4S. I'm just amazed at how fast the phone is without hardware acceleration fully enabled (Gingerbread isnt fully hardware accelerated, its only in-app). With ICS system-wide hardware acceleration, the phonr should not only bring it on top of iPhone and WP fluidness but it should also be a lot faster than before.

Does anyone know how to remove the Synergy startup animation? On every reboot I would get the Synergy startup followed by the stock Samsung animation.

I was able to change the stock by replacing bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg to boot the fancy S2 but Synergy Animation still boots up.

Any idea on how to remove the Synergy startup?

Thanks!

[Droid 2 General] RedJimmyV:
Used the instructions found at CyanogenMod's Wiki to root my phone and install CM7 nightly build 113.

Now I am trying to go to Liberty 3, which I now understand runs using GB. At first I just downloaded the ROM and tried to install, but it wouldn't boot past my Motorola screen. So, I attempted to update to GB after recovering to a previous backup using CWM, however it tells me update failed each time.

So, now I am thinking that the problem is in the fact that either A) my phone is rooted before updating to GB or B) Bootstrap will not allow this.

Can someone help me figure this out?

Thanks!

Jimmy
[Droid 2 General] TheSavageSquid:
Had a similar problem, not coming from CM7, but with the GB update. You can't be rooted when you upgrade. So flash to froyo so your not rooted, then update. Root using a droid 3 rooting program or another Motorola gingerbread rooting method. Then install Liberty 3.

Have fun with Liberty. I highly recommend it.

I don't have the global, but I used this to root. Pete's Motorola Root Tools

and I'm assuming you have the liberty, so I won't give you the link to that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sepharite:
I'm tethering my i9000m to my computer, works perfectly. But it depletes the battery a percent every minute or so. So I'm forced to charge it at the same time. But the problem is, the phone feels like it's frying. I check the temperatures, it reaches around 48c, maybe more. Also, the battery still depletes even when charging, just slower because of the Tether, 3g, and display still on. (3G turns off if my display is off b/c of battery defender).

Is there anyway stop it from overheating?

My SGS is in a thick plastic case.... but I can't take it off, unless I force it and break the case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
I've made up my mind and will be getting a SGS2 as my iPhone 4S replacement. I'm trying to decide between the international or AT&T version.

Reasons I want international:

- No bloatware

- Tethering enabled

- Unlocked when I travel

- Faster updates on current OS and when ICS is available. (Question, since I will be using the phone on AT&T will this interfere with the international updates...I've heard they are faster. How will I be able to update when they are available?)

- I like the physical home button.

My other issues are: I found the thread (different website) with correct APN settings so I'm good there. Will I have full access to the market?

BIG thing I want to get figured out: Can I root this phone? I haven't been able to find any guides for use with a Mac.

Sorry for the long post but appreciate the help and do you guys have any other suggestions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pewpewbangbang:
I'd go with the international. I like the design better and the home button. Of course, I'm still waiting for mine to come which should be around monday. But in general, its the same as the AT&T version. I got the white one so its extra special and sexy =)

And there has to be a way to root on Mac, I'm sure just finding a Mac version of ODIN would allow everything. Theres way too many people with android and mac that there wouldn't be a way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandenk0:
Rooting with a Mac is simple. An easy way you could root is to install Heimdall onto your mac and flash any of the custom kernels that have an auto-root feature like speedmod or Siyah kernel.

Sent from my Galaxy S II
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gary86:
I found the program you mentioned. Is there a walk through/guide? First time doing this. I just want to root so as soon as ICS is done I can install the ROM for it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pewpewbangbang:
hmmm looking at the latest version of heimdall 1.3.1. Completely different than the previous versions and actually looks like ODIN simple.

From what I'm seeing, you can put any firmware packages .tar, .tz etc...in the heimdall firmware package...or maybe i should be saying kernel and then just flash it like that.

No more individual flashing and the pain in the ass method it used to have.

Im probably gonna need to learn this since i only have a mac up here in college -.- my white i9100 should be here monday.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sixstringsg:
This isn't a much used feature so I doubt many people catch it, but maybe someone will have an answer. I like using the Delivery Confirmation for SMS that android has built into the Messaging app. Now the problem: When I have it set to request a notification, in the stock messaging app, it always says "pending" whereas in GoSMS it behaves correctly and either confirms/denys. I know I could just use Go, but I would prefer the stock app work correctly. I am on the most current ICS ROM by Koush, but there has been this issue as far as I can remember, on stock ROM's, CM7, and even on the Galaxy S's. Any ideas?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Force.:
Forgive me if I have misunderstood but this is how delivery reports work on stock 2.3.6:

It says pending after the message has been sent but not received, and then shows a received icon (and says received if you check the report) once it has been received by the recipient.

Isn't this happening on your device?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sixstringsg:
That is how it should work, correct. The stock messaging app never shows anything other than pending, where as GOsms tells me (on the same text message) that it has been received. I am also sure that it is received when go says it is, because people reply.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Force.:
Well I'd wipe the data for the stock sms app and go from there.

Probably rom specific but I guess it could be to do with your carrier...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] sixstringsg:
It can't be my carrier, because go works. It also can't be my ROM, because it has been persistent across ROMs and devices. I have done many full wipes in the past week, thus clearing all messaging data, and it has not fixed the issue.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Force.:
Well I don't know much about sms protocols but if it has happened across multiple devices (assuming you stayed on the same carrier) it could be possible that your carriers delivery reports have a compatibility issue with the stock app but not with go sms.

I am of course just hypothesising :).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muh316:
Why does my Captivate only limit me to having 2GB of space for apps? I'm not using an external SD card and I want to install my apps onto my internal SD card or atleast move them there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
It's been a while since I have been on a stock ROM so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can move at least some of the apps by going to settings / applications and then, in the individual application settings, select "Move to SD."

I know you can't move widgets or alarm applications because they will break if they aren't on internal memory, but you should be able to move games, etc. with no problem.

I'm on 2.2 right now. There is an option to move to SD but it only moves it to external SD not the internal one. It's split up into 3 sections

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
Ah, now I understand. I never had enough apps on Froyo to play with moving them but shooting from the hip, have you tried removing your external card and see if it will let you move them then?

Did you find solution? I have same situation here, it's pretty weird internal SD could only be stored with application data instead of application itself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sRedwolf:
I'm almost positive that you can't move apps to your "internal SD card" regardless of whether or not you have an external sd card installed.

My understanding is that you can only move apps to the external SD card (at least that's how it's been on any ROM I've ever used)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DaNaRkI:
why... Why! WHY!!! . . . oh >.>

Why you ask...

Well simple, your limited to only 2GB because this size was choosen by phone manufacturors years ago when they were first designing the phone.

Consider that most of the phones in use back when 2.2 was released did not, for the full storage potential, even have the 2GB that we have just for apps (16GB in total). Heck most did not even have 1GB (I think 512MB was the standard). There was no separation between app storage and other media. This lead to users running out of space for both rather quickly. The solution then was to find use for the external SD as it could be as large as 32GB of storage.

The whole "internal SD" thing was thought up because it seemed wise to separate app storage from media storage. Also back when 2.2 was first released we did not have such massive apps as on the market today, so 2GB was plenty of any and all user (excluding the ppl who felt a need to have 200+ user apps...)

So, you can't store apps to the "internal SD" because that's not what it is meant to be used for. When companies decided to start putting such massive storage into the phone there was no reason for it to be any bigger.

As to only being able to move apps to the external SD, simple; Google did not design Android to do so.

To allow such would require changing how Android sees the "Internal SD" and to change how the

app to SD

function works, it is not currently written to check for multiple SD cards. I don't see any Dev willing to take up the task when the solution to running out of app space has already been solved by a much better means.

A different way to view the problem would be to ask (or learn, as that's the xda way) about re-sizing the partition to make the app storage larger. If enough people ask (politely!) maybe one of the Devs can be convinced to make it standard in their ROM that it be more then the default 2GB, or someone might make an app or flashable .zip that allows for re-sizing.

lt:dr - phone is old, based on old specs (think pre- 2.1 Android).

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Ok 80 views and no responses so I'll bite. There are so many variables here that I could type a page or two but I will start at the end. You may need to try out a few different kernels to see which works best for you. People are having the best stability/battery life and least issues on the stock based kernels. If you use one of the overclock kernels, you may end up having LOS issues. You really have to try them. Wifi no good, try another. I am grabbing Wifi signal from the tenant who lives in the apartment below me (I am the manager so its ok..lol) I don't have any profiles set up. I let the phone do its thing. I am using the EG30 Rev 5 kernel since I am on EG31 modem. Since you are currently on LoSt, try EG30 stock w/CWM5 or Rogue stock w/ recovery. If you want to overclock try the Rogue overclockable kernel
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kingsway8605:
I have always been of the position that Samsung has probably already put a lot of thought into the clock speed, and you probably should juat leave it be. Setcpu came into being a few years ago when phones handled the comprimise between battery life and clock speed poorly, it really is not need is anymore.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yeah, if you want to overclock or undervolt then its useful but for profiles I just leave those be. I mean if I am not using my phone its in deep sleep or running at 200. The scaling seems really dialed in to me
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LudoGris:
This is the first phone I have not used SetCPU on. The Samsung kernel seems to do every thing on its own. I would recommend not using it at all.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
Hello everyone,

I have been trying to create an ext4 partition using GParted. I did all necessary steps - will quickly run thru, just so you know:

1. Burnt ISO and accessed thru boot menu (running XP/SP3, btw)

2. Deleted existing allocation.

3. Created new primary partition as FAT32

4. Allocated "free space following" as 1024

5. Specified the unallocated memory (1024) as ext4.

There was no error in the operation.

However... When I tried to load stuff to the SD card, Windows prompted me to format the card before using. It made no sense but I couldn't do anything. And by formatting it, I lost everything that GPL had done in the first place.

I went over the process again, to no avail.

Does anyone know where I've possibly gone wrong? Please help.

Thanks..!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] =JP:
Not really but I use a program called VM (virtual machine) instead of burning a CD as I had problems using CD. then when it finishes Windows refreshes & remounts SD generally without issue, but G-parted should still read it & ext4 should be ok as windows doesn't recognise it. Even so G-parted will still reformat it even if Windows done It's thing!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
I don't understand why this happens.

G-Parted doesn't report any error. In fact, just went through the process again.

I re-started GParted to ensure that the partition was successful.

Then, I booted back to windows and tried to load the backup to the SDcard and then, bang! "You need to format your SD card before proceeding".

Right click, properties shows RAW, 0 bytes, etc. It says I have to format again... Grrr....

WTH?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
Triple checked - this time, before trying to format as Windows would suggest, I rebooted back to Gparted.

As one would expect - it did show FAT32 and ext4 partitions in the card (via card reader)...

But when I try to load stuff thru Windows, it doesn't allow!!!!!

Either I am doing something wrong without realising it. Or... This really is crazy.

My SD card is class 4, by the way. Dunno if tht helps!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch of jobo:
It sounds like gparted only creates your partition table, not your file systems.

With gparted you create 2 partitions. One FAT and one EXT. Both are uninitialized. When you connect it to Windows, and it prompts you to format the DC card, it really want to just format the FAT partition. Check the size.

Hope this helps.

-Jobo
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
Check the size? As in?

My SD card is a class 4, 4GB.

G-Parted shows it perfectly. 2.69 (FAT32) plus 1.0 (940-ish MB, as ext-4)

But while running from my computer, I don't see any size description. I am forced to format it and voila, back to 3.69 (FAT32).

When I run G-Parted again, it prompts me to create the partition table (without which, it cannot proceed). So... It creates partition table (msdos, default) and I go through the process again, only for it end up as a vicious cycle! :/
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daym0ss:
Make sure that both partitions are made as primary
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch of jobo:
That size.

This indicates that my first thought was wrong, and it does not prompt you to just format the FAT partition, but the entire device.

In gParted, try not only creating your partitions but also formatting them. Make sure you 'apply changes' before you quit.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
Yep. Did. No use. x(

Yep... I did just that.

In fact, I even tried doing things one at a time (instead of queuing them up and executing them at one go).

Tried it on another memory card, too.

No avail. Am i hexed or what!?!?!?! :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
Problem solved, guys. :) Got so frustrated... I just did a system wipe. Wiped the card again. Started from scratch. Voila...

Thanks for the prompt responses!

Flashed the Runnymede ROM, too. Now my question is - how o I know if A2SD+ is actually functioning?

The storage settings say that 130-ish MB free. I downloaded Quick System Info Pro which says 547MB (out of 900-ish, as shown in G-Parted when I made the ext4 partition) A2SD storage free.

Am I missing something here?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] touch of jobo:
It makes no sense (to me) that wiping your phone would make a difference.

Glad you got it worked out anyway, of course!

Just for my (and maybe others') understanding:

How did you have your sd card connected to your computer, when it didn't work?

In a card reader / in your phone via recovery / in your phone while booted / ...?

-Jobo
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
Sorry for the delayed reply, @Jobo.

At first, I was trying via the card reader. Didn't work. Tried it thru phone (in recovery mode). Faced the same problem. Never tried it with the phone booted.

Wiped everything and tried again with the phone in recovery. Worked.

But now... Although it shows up fine when inserted in to the PC (shows 2.69 instead of 3.69 and doesn't ask to be formatted), I get the odd prompt from my phone tht memory is reducing? So... Don't really understand if the A2SD+ is 'actually' operating. :/

Hmmm, thanks for the reassurance, mate. Just read your explanation, too. :)

I don't think I need to click on "move to external storage" for apps any longer, yeah?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Added explanation to post. ;)

No, you MUST NOT use "move to external storage" for apps. The reason for this is simple: Android can only differentiate between apps on FAT32 partition of SD card or internal memory (/data partition). A2SD+ moves the apps you install automatically to EXT partition SD card. But android "thinks" the app is still on internal /data partition (and some app-data is still there), so there is still the option to move to external storage, but this is the FAT32 partition.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kartnite:
Ha ha! I edited my last post just before you mentioned it! ;)

Great... Understood. Will move back all apps - even those which were, by default, installed to the SD.

But can you tell me what exactly happens if, despite the A2SD+, I choose the "move to SD" option? It is moved from ext to SD, then? Tht part is slightly confusing...
