[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fracked:
Hi Azeurius,

the thing is that i already have root and cwm on the phone. Ive already rooted.

So im at the point where i can upgrade the firmware through kies, but im looking for advice what i should do overall- nearing in mind the fact ive already rooted, and phone details are in Openingpost.

THanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanmak1:
Ok well I am also new here but from everything I have read my understanding is that you have rooted your device and loaded the original Kernel for your current firmware. If you upgrade through Kies then you will obviously have an upgraded firmware with the old kernel (from your 1st rooting).

So when you upgrade your firmware you just have to also upgrade your Kernel through odin so your phone will still be properly rooted.

I stand to be corrected. I only started reading about rooting today as I just got my Galaxy s2 having come from a Blackberry so new to Android but loving it!!! Best os ever!

I think I will root my phone but not going to touch the firmware as ICS should be release on Kies soon :) cant wait
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultyMango:
Hello
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Angelkom:
Use Odin

I think KIES forbides to upgrade on rooted firmware. Even if it allows you i think you will use your root. I suggest you if you want the latest stock rooted firmware use Odin find the stock rooted XWLSD(Nordic countries) and flash via Odin (Don't use XWLS8 it has bugs), XWLSD is super stable or XXMS1(Poland) or XWLSE(Russia) if you are not from this countries then use XWLSD. If you want custom rom with no mods and no bloatwares use Neat rom or Wanam lite rom, if you want custom rom with mods and no bloatwares use disaster, biftor, omega, alliance rom and etc.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FaultyMango:
Yeah. I dont mind losing root access. As log as I can get official ota. Btw has the exynos bug been addressed?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmarko:
It allowed updating firmware on my rooted S5, but I did lose root when it was all done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SimplyRX:
Thanks. I will be try updating my rooted i9500 and P600 via Kies. I am not sure if there is already an update for my region available for the S4 but I was prompted to update my P600 only to get a notification telling me that my device has been modified. This was for OTA updating. I really hope it works because I am really not looking forward to un-rooting these devices just for the updates since downloading the stock ROM takes forever. Will post results after trying just in case anyone is interested.

Wouldn't this make the system render at a overly high resolution? Say you run a game, doesn't this make the system think your screen is much higher resolution thus degrading performance?

thanks for showing my link ;)

I don't have permission.

But what i want to say was that i notice the icons and numbers on the screen are too big and i want to make them small so i can see more icons, the problem is the blind spots. Where now are nothing,

is there a fix for it, like put more icons on the grid?:confused:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xinato91:
Yes it does, i done a benchmark and the result was dramatic.

But i think for movies is the best thing because it shows the details much better, on 1080p movies, and now I'm guessing.

For example if you want to connect to a led display that supports full hd, do you think it will show in full hd? and not the resolution of the phone?

It changes the density, not the resolution.

[Motorola Droid 3] dvet:
rooted and debloated XT860: after boot, random applications do not load: some of them located on SD, some located in phone. It generally takes 3-5 reboots to have them all loaded, where each reboot shows different app in "loading" state forever. Usually it is stock camera, TB, Root Explorer, BSPlayer, tapatalk...

The only info I googled so forth is that this could be SD-card related, but as most of problematic apps are not on SD, it has to be something else...

What to do, pls?
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I also have this issue although never with system apps like camera. I have no apps on SD card

Rooted xt860, debloated and overclocked to 1.1
[Motorola Droid 3] dvet:
So SD issue ruled out... the reason I am having an issue with camera might be because I use different one (other topic here - better blur camera or similar)
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
ya i know i spent all morning trying to make that apk run on my phone. Don't know how you did it but i just can't make it work
[Motorola Droid 3] dvet:
as U can see, not such a victory - as it refuses to load often... and that blue tint is still quite often there - going to post it into that proper topic..
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
i use camera ZOOM fx, seemed to fix the blue tint, although i didn't notice it much before. It's still slow though so i don't think any camera app is going to make our camera better, it must be firmware. All off topic i know.
[Motorola Droid 3] madrabbitt:
having an identical issue.

Usually with root explorer, sometimes a game app or two, occasionally uber social.

Also a D3, rooted, de-bloated.

Where are the problem apps located for you, internal, external (media area) or SD card.

Also, do you use an app to SD app at all?
[Motorola Droid 3] dvet:
as I sometime use "USB Mass Storage" mode, I moved all apps back to the internal storage.

My problem apps are:

- Stock Camera (on every first boot, this one is unavailable and I have to reboot 100% times)

- GO Task Manager widget, SIM Toolkit, Titanium Backup ... on second boot, these are often unavailable

- random apps (iReader, tapatalk, ....) these also sometimes disappear.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] dinc2new:
I just ordered the new red Droid Incredible 2 from Verizon (free Black Friday deal). I need a windshield car mount that allows for pass through charging. I would prefer a car mount that also allows for the phone to be docked while it has a case on it (TPU case or other slim case would be fine). I am looking at these two docks (both look very similar):

The car dock that Verizon offers ($29.99): verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12605&accessoryId=47539

The iGrip PerfektFit ($38.95): amazon.com/iGRIP-PerfektFit-Charging-Mount-Incredible/dp/B005570RQ0

Sorry, I'm a noob so I can't post exact URLs yet.

Has anyone used either of these docks with their Incredible 2? Were you able to find a case that works with the dock? Thanks in advance.

It may seem illogical but ever since i installed juice defender my battery seems to draining quick. Cell standby used to be at about 3% and now it is at about 60% sometimes more. I uninstalled it but the problem persists. I charged it up to 100% and right now, 3 hours later with casual use it went down to 50%, when becore i could use it casually for about 8+ hours before reaching to 20%. Any fix for this? Was it juice defender or my rom (calk 1.5a)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Henri Blanche:
Not having problems with Juice Defender either. My cell standby is currently at just 5%.

Here's some thoughts I found after a quick Google search. Try entering airplane mode for 10 seconds and then exit. Also consider updating your profile and PRL. Finally, consider freezing any service with the letters "DRM" in them.

Best of luck.

Though mind you now I done my Nandroid backup all I need to do is try them.

They do not work or I am not happy, go into CWM Recovery wipe the phone, cache, restore the original ROM, then down load Titanium from the Market I am good to go.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nicii:
Hi guys, i'm using CM9 alpha 11 and as the tilte says the on-screen button MOD from evilisto and NStools to dimm backlight of the touch keys.

The point is i wanna disable the backlight completely (no delay) so i set the delay to 0, but this seems to be buggy. When i unlock the lockscreen it sometimes happen that the backlight turns on and holds until i touch the keys. For me it seems that the app (or even the phone) has an issue with 0 delay, so its more like a 50:50 chance that the backlight does not turn on. I've tried not to set any delay but it seems that app sets it to the last valid value next time you open. Btw there is no issue for any values greater 0 that i have experienced.

Can anyone confirm this or has any solutions to turn off backlight completely?

Is there any way to trick Android into thinking the kindle fire is another device or disable the market filtering in general. On my rooted kindle I have android market installed and it filters out lots of apps,(Facebook, Twitter, and other apps that I would like to get) and for some of the apps it seems there is no reason to filter them. So if someone knows a way around this please reply.

Idk if it would work but you could try edit the build prompt to make it "another device" Idk if it would work but it's a place to start
[Kindle Fire General] MinionOfEckerd:
But that might cause problems with the Amazon-specific apps if you're trying to keep the functionality.
[Kindle Fire General] andyspam:
I may sound kind of noobish but how do I locate and edit the build prompt?
[Kindle Fire General] sl0ttedpig:
My advice to you is to side load apps that you can't download natively from the store rather than try and fool the market. I think by you trying to modify system files to change the device name is going to potentially cause you more hurt than it's going to gain you.

My 2 cents.
[Kindle Fire General] OmgitzFire:
Yes, sildeloading will be your safest bet if you re not sure what you are doing,

Good find. This may come in handy in the future.

I also use SMS backup & restore, apn backup & restore, bookmark backup & restore, call logs backup & restore as well as titanium backup from the market.

This will help when I forget to backup one of them and only have a cwm backup.
