I've an idea... the mods should build in a feature, that if you have under 15 posts, the search button is lit up like a Christmas tree, and is 10x larger, or plastered everywhere on the screen.. so that you simply CAN'T miss it... or, before someone signs up, they are MADE to watch an entire video explaining to them how to search, or read a long document detailing how to do so... think my idea would really save us lots of time and wasted thread space... :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris911t:
Just got a SGS2 which was on 2.3.3. I noticed that KIES had an update so I upgraded and now I'm on XWKI4 (I'm based in the UK which seems to be a bit behind).

The problem is.... all the rooting threads I can find are either about the old version I was on before (probably XWKH4) or the new 2.3.5 firmware (XXKI4?) - there doesn't seem to be one that's only about XWKI4.

I am a noob as far as Linux/Android goes, and also new to smartphones but I have a background in techie stuff so I can follow instructions - i.e. when a guide tells me "ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE XWKH4"... I don't go any further if I have a different version.

I have done all the searches I can think of (yes I watched the noob video!), so can anyone please please tell me if I can actually follow the guide for XWKH4 and expect it to be ok? Or point me at a guide for XWKI4 that I may have missed?

I only got into this rooting thing so that I could get the Orange GAN/UMA Signal Booster App and sign up with them :( But I got drawn into wanting cyanogenmod... and the rest is history, as they say.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kobellza:
i don't think it really matter whether XWKH4 or XXKI4 cause my self i flashed the xwki8 on xxki4 firmware and didn't seem like it affect anything :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athavan:
Download the stock firmware of your choice(for which you have rooting guide)from intratech's thread here at xda.. Flash it using odin.. And then root..

I think, what fw you were on dont matter.. But as for your query, do the above..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanicca:
I think you can ignore the xx/xw bit and look for cf-root KI4, once rooted you can remove bloatware or flash a custom rom of your choice

from my own little world
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris911t:
Thanks

Thanks Athavan. Being a noob at this I was under the impression that I had to root it before I loaded a new ROM.

So that makes me wonder if I need to root it at all for what I need...

I've already tracked down a zip of the files that are needed for the signal strength app. I started at h t t p : //adq.livejournal.com/118239.h t m l that described how to do all of it. [Sorry can't make it a proper link, new ppl can't do it for 8 posts so it says, so I added some spaces till it worked]

Then I found a post that had all the necessary files extracted into the zip I mentioned above so I guess that all I need to do is the last bit of the linked post, where the adb push stuff goes on?

However, I thought I'd need the phone rooted in order to push stuff into system folders. And I also thought that that would be true when I want to flash a stock firmware? From what you say it sounds as though I was wrong about the stock rom?

Thanks again,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Root not required to flash stock roms nor custom roms unless the dev has made the custom rom as a CWM flash (most are cwm flash ).

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris911t:
One other question occurs having read JJE's post...

Do I need the phone rooted in order to push the files onto the stock rom I have now?

The article I quoted above (regarding how to get the Signal Boost app) said that once you have the necessary files (which I do) all you then need to do is this:

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

"After that, you'll have all the files needed. Plug in your phone to USB to push the files across with adb as follows:

adb shell remount -o rw,remount /system

adb push system/lib/libganril.so /system/lib

adb push system/lib/libkineto.so /system/lib

adb push system/lib/librilswitch.so /system/lib

adb push system/app/WiFi-Calling.apk /system/app

adb push libsec_ril.so /system/lib

adb push default.prop /system

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

If that can be done without rooting then I could spare myself the possible loss of the phone and just put the Signal Boost app on the existing rom and get an Orange SIM in it? I'm starting to lose the will to faff a bout with the rom when I should really focus on getting guaranteed coverage (which this app will do by allowing the phone to use my WiFi for calls).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You need root to write files to the /system folder. So you will need root.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athavan:
Ya.. Definitely you have to be rooted inorder to change and modify your system files...basicallu thats what root is for.. We get more access...

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
Hey,

I need some help. I got an I9000M the other day and have been doing a lot of reading towards rooting and eventually SIM-unlocking the phone.

Currently, with the chainfire root method by installing that kernel through Odin i expected that I would have had a rooted phone.

However, the flashing process was completed successfully and after it was finished, I was supposed to let my phone reboot but its stuck at the black and white galaxy s screen.

What happened?

Perhaps I installed the wrong kernel?...anyways I have no clue. Please help so I can proceed towards my goal.

*Also if I just flash an original firmware will it start me back at where I was from the beginning? That way I can figure out which CF I should have used...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yeas:
Just pull the battery, 3 button into download mode (Vol Down+Home+Power) and ODIN flash to stock.

Do a little reading and make sure you have the right version.

BUT BEFORE YOU DO ANY OF THAT, pull the battery and see if it starts up. My phone always gets stuck on home screen after an Odin flash and have to battery pull to get it to load.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheToiletSpaula:
alright thanks, i flashed to stock and now i am going to try and figure out exactly which CF will work.

Hello! Right now I've flashed CWM 5.0.27 and EG31. Is it possible install only ACS Recovery without Rogue Outlaw kernel? I still having some very strange problem after I'm installing Rogue Outlaw kernel with CWM. I'm starting to loose SD card almost every 5 minutes. I mean it is working for some time but then problems starting.

Please, I need your help?

I even ready to pay for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Steady Hawkin:
I'm not sure about the ACS recovery. However, you have a few options:

1) You can flash our stock version (EG30) which includes our Rogue recovery

2) You can wait until we release our updated stock kernel (EG31) which also includes our Rogue recovery. Should hopefully be out tonight or tomorrow.

3) You can flash chris's kernels which include CWM 5.0.2.7

However, I do not believe that the recovery/kernel is causing your SDcard issues
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] antila:
I'm not sure myself that Rogue Outlaw with CWM causing my problem but after I'm flashing CWM 5.0.2.7 and EG31 my problems disappeared. Actually, I might stay with it but Rogue CWM Recovery for me more convenient and better.

So, please, where can I get EG30 with Rogue CWM Recovery? If it is not difficult for you can you give me a link?

I'm really appreciated for your answer but more for your work.

Thank you!

P.S. Sorry, I've found it. If it is what you are talking about http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1349573 I'm talking about it too. After I'm flashing it I'm getting the problems I was talking before. Also, it is rebooting by itself too.

I've tried to flash and reflash it few times already. It is working good for some time and then problem starts. I couldn't say what causing it but everything disappearing after I'm flashing EG31 with CWM 5.0.2.7 or EG 30 with CWM 5.0.2.7.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] antila:
Hello!

I wanted to say sorry. All this time I was flashing Rogue kernel with Rogue CWM. My mistake. I wasn't watching and Didn't see a word "Stock" in the file name.

So, as you advised I've flashed Stock with Rogue CWM and going to see what happens.

Really sorry for my confusion.

Thank you very much for your job and I'll wait for EG31 kernel with Rogue Recovery.

God bless you!

Hi There,

New owner of the Xperia Play here.

Loving the device thus far however I'd like to make one change if people can help me out.

Coming from the Desire HD I much prefer the swipe downwards to unlock method which is employed by Sense.

Is there any way for me to change the method of unlock on my Xperia Play?

Currently I haven't rooted my phone however I am looking at it as a possibility for the future and if this is a feature that requires root it will likely hasten that decision.

I tried using the app called Light Flow in order to control the LED notification colours, seems to have been draining the battery..anyone else experience this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
Yeah I've noticed something causing my cpu to 'wake' more than it should when it should be idle. I've been thinking it might Light Flow, think I'll uninstall it tonight and see how much I lose overnight.

Don't know whether it's been the updates it has been getting or if it's done it all the time, but I know my battery certainly didn't drain this quickly before when idle.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aly19:
yeah same thing happens to me, in the battery stats Android OS is the main contributor to drain and the CPU Awake time is always pretty high
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Martinp86:
interesting I havent suffered much noticeable effect on the battery. I juhst crashes every time i reboot the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] case0:
I disabled it earlier because I was having problems with it flashing after the notification was gone. Didn't notice any extra strain on battery though, although it could have been there.

At the moment it's 1 day 16 min on battery, with 20% Android OS and 5h 38m awake CPU time, is that high? (the Android OS bit/awake time)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Not noticing any drain with Lightflow... I notice that when an email/text comes in the phone wakes up briefly but whether that's Lightflow or normal I don't know... but the phone is asleep from then until I turn it on, even though the LED is flashing away merrily in the meantime. And I looked at this overnight - so getting an alert at maybe 2 or 3am and then actually checking it at 8am or so. Nothing abnormal between 2am and 8am, and noticed no extra battery drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
Had this problem but I think I understand how it works now.

It will keep flashing if you have "individually" removed the notifications out of the notifications bar. Removing notifications this way doesn't seem to register in Light Flow but you can solve this by:

(a) running that app

(b) hit the "X" button to clear all notifications in the notifications bar.

Can anyone find a way to see if it really is Light Flow that consumes that much battery? I cannot really tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
Hi.

Light flow will cause some battery drain, but I try to keep it as little as possible.

You will see a fair amount of time partially awake (not the screen on, but showing as awake in the battery usage) because of the app as every time you have more than one outstanding notification (of different colors) the app has to do a partial phone wake to run the alarm manager that changes the color.

There's a few things that can help this, firstly slowing down the frequency of cycling colors ("Notification - battery", in general settings).

Fast = 2.5 seconds

Medium = 5 seconds

Slow = 10 seconds

Very slow = 20 seconds

The other option is just to show the highest priority notification that's currently outstanding - then you'll just get 1 color (e.g. if you have an e-mail, missed call and sms message all outstanding - if you have priority of 1 set on missed call then only that will display of the 3)

Unless you really need them, all the additional light controls in the general settings menu e.g. button backlight, flash etc should be disabled to keep things minimal.

With the latest 2.7.x releases I found (on a nexus one) that the partial wake is for less than 100th of a second on every cycle change (previous version had got to about 400ths of a second)

As for not clearing the notification, at the moment I've got no hooks into swiping away individual notifications from the notification bar so they will keep flashing.

I'm thinking of adding an extra battery saving option where just the most recent notification type is shown as there wouldn't be the need for partial wakes for that.

The good news is I just got a Galaxy Nexus yesterday and after quite some time got the adb drivers working so I'll be looking into seeing what's possible with ICS soon.

So far I've just made one ICS specific change for the next release which is to remove the nag screen on upgrading about restarting accessibility as it seems google have finally sorted out the accessibility bug that caused the need for a restart!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
Cheers for the clarification and help, andrewpmoore. Great app.

The option that makes the LED shows only the most recent notifications will be VERY WELCOME! Look forward to the update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SweetPAIN225:
Good Job, glad you finally have the handset! can't wait for the next release!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
No issues here. I think it really depends on your settings those. Especially the color cycles.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
Don't get too excited about the next release. It'll just be a bug fixes one (and the nag removal for ICS)

If there are any devs on here that can work out a way to pick up on the swipe to remove notifications could they get in touch. I've not found anything useful in the accessibility service so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Probably didn't see my question in another thread, but can you add a full RGB colour picker? Seeing as it's an RGB LED I assume this is possible, rather than just having the current, fixed, selection of named colours? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flakz0r:
Great job andrewpmoore, will definitely use this as soon as my GN arrives :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whyamihere:
Don't need to worry about battery drain from Light Flow any more andrewpmoore.

I first tried disabling the app then uninstalling, I still had the same battery drain from Android OS, so my problem lies elsewhere.

I've reinstalled Light Flow now, great app! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewpmoore:
That's good to know, thanks.

---------- Post added at 08:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:02 AM ----------

It's something I've had on my todo list for a while. It'd be relativley simple for phones line the Nexus One and Galaxy Nexus, the difficult part is fitting it in with the "direct mode" settings and mapping colors between them.

I'll see what I can do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AMoosa:
Light Flow also caused Sleep of Death on my phone. I've uninstalled and all is well now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BiGMERF:
same here.. massive battery drain/phone got hot and she went night night.. had to pull battery. uninstalled
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AmesCell:
Considering other people are getting the sleep of death without Lightflow it seems a little rash to decide that Lightflow is causing it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jabok:
Add to that the cases where people are using Lightflow and NEVER had the Sleep of Death, it's fair to say Lightflow is not the (sole) cause. It MAY be behaving badly with some other app I guess... but I've been running it since day 2 (18th) and never had the sleepy death thing. :)
