There are probably extraneous files/data that are not being wiped and interfering with your installs.

Try this (warning: this will require a reflash, so back up any stuff you want to keep).

Boot into fastboot (power-camera for G1 or power-back for MT3G):

Then shut down, boot into recovery and do a super-wipe.

Now, reformat the sdcard.

Then do:

from adb to make sure that the sdcard is mounted.

Then push the rom and other necessary extras to the sdcard and install.

I'm pretty sure that should clear things up, if you want to be REALLY sure that everything is fine, you can re-flash recovery right after the fastboot erase.

Why doesnt this exist? There have been many rom and kernel combinations that i have loved on my phone. I would love to be able to go back and use one on the fly by simply restoring. I know there are issues if you go from GB to Froyo and things like that, but anyone with a little sense already knows that. Nandroid is the closest option right now, but it doesnt restore my home layout or texts and calls. Surely this is possible. Id love to export a copy of my complete rom to my desktop as a flashable .zip for backup. Plus i like to back it up a few times a week to keep messages backed up.

If anyone wants to give this a shot Id gladly beta test it, and pay you some money for the app.

If this already exists then flame all you want, just be sure to post a link
[Android Apps and Games] rbjem:
Doing an advanced nandroid restore of data gets my phone back the way I set it up. Homescreens, texts, calls logs, its all there... Even after updating to GB from froyo.

Sometime there are permissions issues, but thats an easy fix.
[Android Apps and Games] tpierce89:
really? I just updated to ICS and id love to restore some of that or at least try. I know you can select different parts to restore under advanced. What individual pice do i need to restore to get back my messaged and things without compromising my system? I always just used the standard recovery with nandroid and then used MIUI to restore the other stuff. Guess i should have looked into it more
[Android Apps and Games] rbjem:
Just go to advanced restore, and restore DATA.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neilbantoc:
Hit there! In this video:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rS2ly9fk-Q

The video poster claims that he made a custom rom that enables display mirroring over wifi on the rom level. This functionality is baked in iOS 5 (as a commenter pointed out).

Can that also be done for the Galaxy S2? That would be a killer feature.

Any insights (from devs, preferably) are welcome.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sorrow1994:
HOLY ****! YES! i wanna have that feature, too :D

My GF has a completely stock SGS4G that I just updated to GB via Kies. She is having issues with the phone locking up and rebooting randomly. This happens a few times a day. I was just wondering if you all had any ideas/hints/tips that you could give me to help her with this issue. She's not to happy with me that I updated her phone and will not let me flash any roms or even root it. Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
Factory data reset, maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] camalus:
I learned long ago not to ever even touch my wife's phone.

No touch... no blame.

But yea... factory reset it. Back up all her stuff first and wrote down a list of her apps and such.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jager555:
hahaha. that is SO true! every time i try to help someone, i always get blamed if something goes wrong..and its usually their fault! one time someone pulled out their sd card while playing music and it messed up the card and they blamed me because i rooted their phone...

anyway, OP, i had a similar problem on my dad's phone. i backed up my sdcard pics/music/docs and then went into 3e recovery. factory reset and wiped cache. then i went into the privacy setting and formatted everything including the sd card. this seemed to fix it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Yeah. I lost my sgs4g by messing with my wife's g2.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alfred E.:
Kies?

The OP said "...updated to GB via Kies..." So if your suggestion still leaves issues, I would pick of the stock rom from here (search for it in either development or q&a) and reflash. Others have reported problems with Kies, so I only used kies to the point where where I could receive the download from my temp folder, then flashed with Odin. Worked for me, but you may want to search for a link to the rom in these forums.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stafaa:
My Galaxy S 4G has this problem were out of no where, ill completely lose service. When I go to settings>wireless>mobile networks> it won't let me in to the menu and just shows the message "insert Sim card to access network"

I called Tmobile and had a new Sim card activated and still it will not read. I removed the Sim and placed it in another phone and it functions just fine.

I then flashed my phone from froyo to gingerbread and the problem never occurred again. I then rooted my phone and installed cwm. Im running the ROM octane v2.x... Worked fine for under a week and now its doing it again.

It used to go anywhere from a few mins to maybe 2hrs before it starts to read the Sim again... But right now its been 5hrs and still no network.. Does anyone know what is causing this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Its the sim tray on your phone. Its loose/malfunctioning
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stafaa:
Can this be remedied with some solder or do I have to replace the entire tray? And is this even feasible?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Light-라이트:
Yea it can be fixed. Look up youtube videos on it. Gl!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sir ahmed:
strange issue happened to me with toggle widgets ( airplane,wifi,bluetooth ..etc)

after rebooting my device these widgets in home screen are disappear !!

I tried to re-add them. I can't !!

also, the space where they should be is not available to add another widget either.( no long press ) i.e. I've now got a dead/unusable space on my home screen. !!

rebooting device ? yes without benefit !!

ok, i find the solution , it's going to home launcher application and clear data. of coure loosing everything you made in your home screen .. but !!

but i have to do this each time i reboot my device :confused: because this bug coming after every reboot !!

and this is not a logical solution !!

so any idea to solve this problem ?

ThanX
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Szadzik:
Stock launcher's fault. I had the same problem with Fifty Two.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sir ahmed:
ok what are we going to do ? it's really annoying
[Motorola Droid RAZR] cathain:
My 3G toggle switch also periodically disappears. What I find works is if you go into settings and turn all your data on, i.e. wi-fi, 3g, 4g, bluetooth. Then reboot the phone and when it comes back the icons are usually all visible again
[Motorola Droid RAZR] moneyrain:
use taskiller to kill laucher , togger will appear again :D

Hi everybody,

I don't want final users to access windows settings so I tried to hide everything related to that (Destop access, windows buton).

So i would like to know if there's an API that would allow one of those things :

Disable or hide the windows button

Disable or hide the tray bar containing the windows button

I've heard that SPB could fill my need, but for now, I don't want to use it (only for money reasons :))

Just recieved new galaxy s2 :D great phone had the s1 too, was just wondering was there suppose to be a sd card in the box? i didnt get one? i dont appear to have 16gb built into the phone
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
All the S2 variants has 16 gb inbuilt, in which 2 gb will be used for ROM, you can use the remaining. Goto to storage in settings, you can have a view of amount of memory you have.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
No, there is no sd card included as most phones are shipped from overseas manufacturers, who do not include sd cards.

16 gig of memory is total memory, system uses part of it for the rom and apps some also.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Hi,

Is there any way to use the keyboard (e.g. ENTER) or the volume keys to take a picture? The lack of shutter button is really bugging me..but either one of these keys would make it a lot more tolerable.

Any one?

Thanks:D
[Motorola Droid 3] rvschuil:
Have you tried the "OK" button? Works for me :)
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
id like this also
[Motorola Droid 3] Androidsims:
As said above, the OK button takes photos.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Thanks didn't know.

Though when closed volume keys would be even better or you'd have to slide every time
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I use camera zoom fx which allows for pressing anywhere om screen to take a photo. Makes it easier to take photos when you can't see the screen to hit the touch shutter button

Rooted xt860, debloated and overclocked to 1.1
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
Camera Zoom FX/Pro in the market allows you to assign the volume keys to a shutter action. Plus, of course, it does a better job than the stock camera app.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Sounds good but it's 3.50 euro :(
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
ProCapture allows you to use the volume buttons.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Thanks but the free version is limited to 3.2MP and the mute function doesn't work
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
The "free" version is a relative term based upon your moral standing.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
ehm.. no. Free = 0 euro's.

It's not like im asking for advanced camera features. All I want is to change the shutter button from OK to volume button. How hard can it be? Especially in open source world of android..
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
I'm sure you could extract the app from the /system/app folder, expand it, edit the apk, then replace it on the phone with the edited apk, and see how it works. As to how to do this...IDK, but it can't be that simple if it hasn't been done yet, because many people have requested this be changed.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well it's been done for galaxy (adjusting the apk). Unfortunately I'm too noob :(

But I was thinking more simple by e.g. apps that switch around keys when a certain app is opened or something
[Motorola Droid 3] Rotkaeqpchen:
Please, I don't think we want third party paid apps for just changing one feature. It's more about: "How can we change the BlurCamera.apk to also take photos with the volume buttons".
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
"/system/usr/keylayout/cdma_solana-keypal.kl”

Replace VOICE to CAMERA etc.
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Hehe I was doing some research and just wanted to type this.. But shouldn't we use qwerty.kl?

Anyway can you give a key 2 functions? E.g. volume - = volume - but also camera?
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
I think it is impossible.

replace a not the commonly used key that is a good method:D like 'Search'
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Well why would the search button be any better than the default OK button?
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
no/don't need open keyboard
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Oh you meant the softkey search button? Well for me it doesn't matter whether to touch the screen or the soft buttons - both inconvenient.. I mean tap 1cm next to the search soft key and you also make a picture.
[Motorola Droid 3] mvp3:
:confused:

My english is not good.......
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
I just said that using the search button (on the front) isn't much easier than using the touch screen

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BananenAffe:
Please make a Backup with CWM before install my themes !

All themes are Morphing zip files.The zip files only changes the png files on your phone.

Attention !

You have a other theme or a battery Mod of your phone ? Then install the firmware or custom rom again before install my themes.

Only tested on CheckRom 3.1.1 and Stock Firmware KJ3 with Siyah Kernel 1.8 with CWM4.

You need a Root Kernel that has CWM to install my themes.

How to install what you find here:

Copie Zip File in the root directory of the Internal SD to your mobile phone.

Go into recovery mode (High Volume + Home Button + Power On Button) or press on the Power menu to recovery.

Install zip from sdcard

choose zip from sdcard (not aplly /sdcard/update,zip)

Search the Zip File

Then Yes - Install Theme.zip

Do not despair, because it takes about 10 minutes to flash the Theme and the reboot also takes a while.

Note :

If after installing the theme the battery not change,then install the drawable-hdpi-v4.

Depending on firmware changes the designation in the framework-res.apk in drawable-hdpi or drawable-hdpi-v4.

[Motorola Droid 3] gkitab:
Are you sure you copy the correct files to your /system/apps folder obviously vsuite and if your on an odexed rom the odex file for it. Then set the proper permissions. first column all three checked, 2nd column 1st one checked, all remaining unchecked, then reboot.
[Motorola Droid 3] WABONI:
Hi, I just copied the VSuiteApp.apk file, as appears on the XT862 ROM no odex present, I also copied the permission file from etc/permissions/com.motorola.atcmd_library to the XT883.
[Motorola Droid 3] gkitab:
You are correct it has no odex file. You shouldn't need to copy over permission files. Rather, using an app like root explorer or root browser, press and hold vsuiteapp.apk and you should get an option to set permissions. Then set then how I described. Back out, then reboot.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ideohazard:
I flashed MIUI Lithium 360 yesterday and I've had a couple of problems with it. I'd post to that forum but since I haven't posted enough to XDA, I can't put this there. It's my punishment for using Search too often and correctly I suppose.

Performance was great all day yesterday after the flash. I let battery drain to 0% then ran calibrate right before bed. In 7 hours I was down to about 20% even though I was asleep. It took about 90 minutes of moderate use this morning to finally kill it. I haven't flashed a new kernel or modded beyond the stock ROM; still using KA7 radio. I believe Android OS was the big culprit in the battery monitor. (sorry no screenshot)

The other problem I'd noticed was that my WiFi would no longer connect to my home network. It was fine last night, but this morning, it listed my network in the history but said it wasn't in range. Confirmed problem was not with WAP/Router. I deleted the connection and tried to reconnect, it saw the connection again, but once I put in the WEP/WPA password, the phone resumed the message that the wifi network was out of range. To be fair, I did not power cycle the phone at that point as I was still waiting to drop to 0% on battery. (not sure if that matters or not - calibration tools don't say not to reboot, but they don't instruct user to reboot either) I'm sure I'll know more after I let it charge to 100% again, and I may update this post to report back.

I updated this phone from CM7.1 yesterday, did all wipes, formatted /system before flashing. Did let it sit and restored the Current theme all per instructions. I did not restore any apps to the phone after flash so previous apps could not be part of the issue.

I did use stock CM extensively on my G1 for years, but I was less than impressed with CM on Vibrant and found it to be lacking.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fear676:
The battery will need a few charge cycles before it will give you better battery life. Just make sure you calibrate the battery when its fully charged. Now someone else in that thread had the same problem as far as wifi not working correctly. The best way to tackle this is to odin back to stock, root, flash a 2.2 rom then flash miui. Let me know if this helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ideohazard:
changed my modem to KB5 and having less problems with wifi. Don't know if it's making a difference anywhere else. Battery use still a little high due to Cell Standby. Seems like it's eating about 5% per hour just idling. I will go through a few more charge cycles and see if it improves.

It wasn't planned as the official release or something alike so I haven't tested it extensively. Again, it was just for my own use and I decided to share.

The file is based on official deodexed kj6 from RaverX3X with stock kj6 kernel so it should work for anybody who uses this ROM. It works fine on my device.

Not sure about the odexed version.

TO USE - overwrite the framework-res.apk in /system/framework/ with rootexplorer or any other file browser with root access.
