[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlb92400:
Hello all !

I try to edit my first skin for sense 3.0 (well, to be honest, just changing a png by another), but it's systematically failing... I need help.

What I do :

- use any apk file containing a skin definition (many can be found on xda)

- use m10tools to decompile apk (and the m10 file inside)

- change a selected png file with another (same name, same image size)

- save with m10tools (recompile)

- resign the new apk with auto-sign

- copy this apk to the sd card and try to install

It always fail with "application not installed".

I don't know what it is wrong (but obviously I do something wrong !!) :confused:

I hope someone can help me.

Many thanks !!

Sorry for this poor english, hope is was readable anyway :(

When I bought my GS2 I wasn't going to root it due to warranty issues but I see I can return my phone to factory specs if need be so now I''m contemplating rooting and flashing my GS2 for mainly these 4 reasons:

#1 improve battery life.

#2. get rid of the slight Lag we have with our GS2s

#3 get rid of AT&T's bloatware.

#4 it looks like it will be a LONG time before AT&T releases ICS so I imagine it will be modded and available for our i777s quite soon?

Any recommendations for the best rom for my needs would be greatly appreciated!!! TIA :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
The first thing I'd recommend is making sure you follow the sticky below so you don't increase the flash counter when flashing. A restore will not reset it.

As to the other recommendations, I'd simply suggest fully reading the initial posts in any thread for a rom/kernel you find interesting FULLY along with reading input from people who have tried said rom /kernels. Be fully aware of what you're attempting to do and always backup before any critical changes, etc. Basic stuff but worth mentioning. Oh and have fun. ;)

I totally understand and plan on doing a lot of research and reading but hoped for opinions from first hand use..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Entropy512's return to stock/root package would be step number one.

Continuing to follow creepyncrawly's instructions flash entropy512's most recent kennel.

That gives you clockworkmod recovery in place of stock recovery.

Through cwm you can create backups that when flashed still do not trip the flash counter. And the same for any roms flashed through cwm, flash counter won't be tripped.

Just make sure you have a good backup. Can be worth copying it over to a computer.

I'd recommend flashing unnamed rom. Very close to stock but much better battery life and speed. Plus plenty of themes are being made for it. And it will give you an in general idea of the current things a custom rom changes. That way when you look at other roms you'll better understand the features they have.

If in doubt, always ask questions.

Thank you so much for the info, presently waiting on SDMicro ordered from Newegg then moving forward with your suggestions... Have some serious reading/researching to do tonight :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nitox.n2o:
I have been running UnNamed on Entropy512's kernel since I got the phone, and the battery life has been phenomenal; when I was testing, I was able to get over 2 days with light phone usage. gtg465x got rid of the home button lag and removed a lot of bloat from the ROM (see: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299474), but I also manually removed some additional apk's that I never used but found running in the background.

I will eventually get around to experimenting with other ROMs once I have the time to see if there is anything that I like better, but for now I would have to say that I am very happy with the state of my phone.

Good luck with your ROM hunt. And as Kadin said: have fun!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Thanks, sounds like you have exactly what I'm looking for(better battery, no lag and bloat ware)..

Did anyone do a test and see if they could get it back to stock for warranty purposes??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nitox.n2o:
Assuming you root using creepyncrawly's method for not incrementing the flash counter, you can follow this guide to return to stock: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1313659

If you do trip the counter, you can use a USB Jig to reset it.

Nice... Thank you so much, great to know it can and has been done.. You guys are the best!! Presently reading up on "how to root & install Unnamed", it's all new to me but I'm sure just like when I used to mod my old LG VU it will make perfect sense on what is being done and why when modding the OS.

Yup, it will all click soon enough. I was so extremely overwhelmed when I first bought my Captivate and with just a little reading and experimenting, I picked it up nice and fast. Sure I made some mistakes, but boy did I learn... :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
Ok just to be sure I got this right:

I have downloaded Entropy's "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" to Root my GS2.

After that I just put UnNamed ROM "update-unnamed-v1.3.1-full" on my SD Micro and follow the Installation Instructions at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1299474 and that's it??

The Safe Counter is safe and back to stock is doable??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Yes and yes, and as long as you followed creepncrawly's steps to put a cwm kernel on your phone. Then follow those directions.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Captpt:
I take it "Odin3 One-Click Downloader Stock I-777 UCKH7 with Root no BL" is NOT a CWM Kernel, I'm a bit confused, I flash Entropy's Kernel using Odin3 One-Click to root but then have to reflash that kernel with one with a CWM?

If this is true which I believe it is which Kernel w/CWM is recomended in my application (using Entropy's Odin3 1-Click Root and UnNamed ROM)??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CyberpunkDad:
After you use the 1 click your phone is rooted but does not have a custom kernel with cwm.

You put the custom kernel on in I believe step 2. He lists a number of ways to put the entropy kernel on.

After that you will be able to boot into cwm and load your custom rom.

Ahh thanks Cyber, I thought so but wanted to be sure..

Sorry but i have what probably is a dumb question but after all is said and done can I re-sync my phone with Kies to put back my stuff (backed up calls, messages, documents ect...)??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
I'm not sure what all kies can back up. Connect to your phone and backup what you can. If you don't save it to your PC, you can't recover it.

Just know flashing a kernel through odin will trip your flash counter. Only unmodified stock kernel can be flashed through odin without tripping the flash counter. Though mobile odin can flash any kernel without tripping the flash counter.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justinblaine23:
Creepys guide is perfect

As long as you follow Creepy's guide it doesn't trip the counter, I recently did it on my phone after not having any idea on what to do or how to do it regarding root. I have windows and rooted using Entropy512's Return/Unbrick to Stock, Kernel + Rooted System Package with Modem using Odin3 One-Click Downloader. I just verified my Counter Still says NO, with means the method worked without tripping it. I think the previous post was just so you understood a non-stock kernel would trip it, but since his kernel is based on stock it roots the device without tripping the counter, then you can follow the rest of the walkthrough, it's pretty easy. One note is that I used android terminal emulator to put the kernal with cwm on there, mostly because using adb sounded too complicated, if you do this and put the ZImage in the right place it's a piece of cake once cwm is on there.

Good luck, I'm no pro but the people here are excellent, just do your research and you can find almost anything ;)

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillcX10:
I appear to have bricked my Transformer.

I had a very successful dual boot Android/Linux sytem up and running. I installed with OLife Prime. However, this evening I finished what I was doing in Ubuntu, without thinking closed the lid and went for dinner. When I returned and opened the lid, the screen stayed blank. No amount of pushing the power button, or down volume + power, or even up volume + power, or connecting to the charger (no light even came on on the device), or even connecting to a laptop via USB rectified the problem.

I have read about some of the sleep issues on the Wiki, however everything there seems to indicated that the screen should flash on and off after closing the lid. In my case, it seems to be in a very, very deep sleep. I also read something on page 119 of this thread about deep sleep issues, but not really a solution around how to fix it. The Wiki said something about a hard reboot, but I think I´ve already tried that.

I had made a couple of changes to the stock Ubuntu install - I was running Lubuntu (Lxde window manager) to improve performance, and I also had Firefox writing cache to RAM rather than disk. Apart from that, a pretty standard install.

Any thoughts much appreciated because I am a bit stuck!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lilstevie:
sounds like the battery is flat
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phillcX10:
Battery was about 80% charged when I left the machine and I only left it for about two hours. Also, it seems to accept no charge now - small light on keyboard dock near charge port does not come on when connected to mains

EDIT:

OK, it was a flat battery and I feel pretty stupid for crying wolf, but I still don't understand why.

I had the Transformer on charge for most of the afternoon. I was using Android and had pretty much 100% charge. I then used Ubuntu for about 2 hours before closing the lid for another two hours. After this the battery was flat. Super, mega fast battery drain!

The second part of the problem was the not charging part. Once before I had a problem with the Transformer not charging. To fix this, I took apart the charging block (remember the bit that plugs into the wall came in two parts originally) and gently bent outwards the two pins inside. Put it back together, plug it in and the Transformer started charging.

All is good once again, but I still don't know the battery drained so fast.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knoxploration:
Dead charger? If it doesn't charge the tablet alone, or the dock alone, then that'd be my suspicion...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Beware closing the lid while using Ubuntu! The screen doesn't turn off. it looks like it's going to turn off at 3/4ths closed and then the display goes back on when the lid is completely down. I don't know for sure, but maybe that had something to do with it. the same thing applies for using Prime. if you lock the screen before you close the tablet, as soon as you close it, the screen comes back on.

Edit 2:

I think I finally fixed this. The author needs to clean up this mess though. There is no reason to have to play a guessing game to compile something. Here are the fixes:

fix: remove body of source version of uio.h (there is an ndk and source version)

struct iovec {

const void* iov_base;

size_t iov_len;

};

extern int readv( int fd, struct iovec* vecs, int count );

extern int writev( int fd, const struct iovec* vecs, int count );

error: undefined reference to '__android_log_print'

fix: after LOCAL_STATIC_LIBRARIES add...

LOCAL_LDLIBS := -llog

Edit:

I have worked around this problem by using another version of the su/superuser source that I had downloaded previously.

A few changes were necessary to get superuser to compile:

add build.xml, add project.properties, add local.properties

r.java (remove line):

package koushikdutta.superuser;

strings.xml (change line):

remove " ' " from "phone's"

To compile su:

./agcc su.c -o su -I~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/external/sqlite/dist/ -I~/WORKING_DIRECTORY/bionic/libc/include/ -lsqlite

You can find the original source and my source link with all changes premade attached to this post or at this thread:

I have tried to compile ChainDD's tar.gz from Github both with the NDK and with agcc. I am running 64 bit Debian Squeeze with the latest Android sources compiled and the NDK and SDK installed.

This line or variants:

agcc ~/bin/external/sqlite/dist/ -lsqlite su.c -o su -ldiskconfig -lcutils

gives:

undefined reference to 'send_intent'

ndk-build was not so good either. I had to do a lot of stuff to Android.mk to get it to continue further but still was not able to fully compile with it.

I have been able to compile another version of su I have found with agcc but it is only 10.5 Kb so I am not sure if it will work. I was also able to compile Zergrush with agcc.

Can someone try to do a gps fix outside in airplane mode and tell me how long it takes to fix?

My Nexus S takes a while (1-3 mins), so I'm curious if the barometer helps at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidsmonkeyroost:
I'll check. 10 mins....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidsmonkeyroost:
Back... so here is what I did.

I put my phone in airplane mode.

Switched the phone off.

Switched it back on, still in airplane mode.

Fired up GPS status. Started the stopwatch.

It took 2 seconds to switch on the GPs receiver.

At 14 seconds it located 6 satellites.

At 18 seconds it located 8 satellites.

At 48 seconds it got a Fix on 8 sats.

Then it knew where I was.

I then force closed GPS Status.

Then the GPS switched itself off.

I then fired up GPS status again.

It took 2 seconds to switch on the GPS.

At 7 seconds it had a fix on 6 sats.

It knew where I was.

At 14 seconds it had a fix on 8 sats.

Should point out that I'm in the UK, but my GN has US server for GPS assistance file. When I root, I'll fix that!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jp2000:
Thanks!

That seems a lot better than my Nexus S, although I expected it to be a bit faster still.

Will do the same w/Nexus S and see how it compares.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Davidsmonkeyroost:
Just for fun, I tried again. Same procedure as last time.

0:00:02 GPS on

0:00:15 1 Sat

0:00:36 2 Sats

0:00:38 3 Sats

0:00:41 4 Sats and a Fix! Never noticed a fix on just 4 before

0:00:54 5 Sats and still fix

0:01:01 6 sats and still fix.

Then with my phone still on, killed GPS status and got a fix on 6 Sats in 10 seconds.

So not so good as earlier.

Just north of London, cold night not a cloud in the sky, just lots of stars.

Now if only I could get my PC to ADB to my GNex so I can root it and update GPS.conf
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] herbert1:
In Airplane Mode you won't have a-gps working, so the gps will either do a hot start (if the gps has been used not long before, in this case it can be very fast ) or a cold-start and will have to download ephemerids from the satellites (can take several minutes depending on how good the reception is).

If you're not from Korea theb GB isn't out yet, except CM7. You need to wait a few days for the official to come out.

And if you want CM (nightly), then flash it from CMW doing a full data, cache, dalvik wipe before flashing (maybe after too).

i mean when LG release GB

which steps i must take to safely flash GB from LG
[LG Optimus Black] masterthor:
Connect your phone to the PC, install the LG Phone software that came with the phone, and use the software update feature. Simple as that. Please note however that GB *is not released yet* so don't ask when it will be released as nobody knows anything else other than "soon".
[LG Optimus Black] s4pt4:
You can use KDZ method or LG Software Updater (B2CApp)

[LG Optimus Black] vali.cheche:
Hey ruibullseye, better then asking here is if you use the search and some of your time to learn stuff. Almost all the usual OB fw upgrade/change questions are already answered in this subforum. Same for most problems you might get into. I started using android phone about a month ago. Following the forum around i can say it only took me about 5-6 hours to get familiar with the basic hacks for this phone. And also unbricking procedures and emergecy stuff, which i needed...twice. you cannot avoid it, it will happen to you at least once...

The truth is out there. Use search. ;-) if any issues, ask. But be sure to read the rules before posting.

Cheers.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Ok,since noone simplyy answers the question, i will. Even though u are right that learning by doing is still the best way... but why brick the phone? To find a way to unbrick and recover everything?

Well first i suggest u backup everything with titanium backup(can get it in store) then i first bootet into recovery, then did a full, davlic and battstats wipe, returned to menu, chose backup and restore and simply restored froyo. Then reboot and everything is fine and u can keep checking for updates. This is the procedure i chose, which surely is not the best and fastest, but the savest for me. Hope u understand my english and also have success ;-)

And sorry, because I didnt see some of the advices you gave to him, or I just found em to superficial, so I posted a guid, which as I think can even be understood by a complete NOOB :D
