I'm pretty comfortable with *nix os, however, I've just gotten into android. Typically I run a barebones/minimalist openbox setup on my pc's. Android is driving me crazy with the open processes etc. Is there a reason why so many programs are continually queued up almost instantly after being force closed? **** I never ever use is robbing ram/battery for no reason?

Rooting SGS2+Stock Kernel

Hello there!

I had earlier installed official firmware 2.3.5 on my SGS2. A few days ago, I decided to root my phone so I just used the insecure kernel by chainfire (XWKDD). I have the superuser app but not busybox (which I will be able to dl from market or so) but the problem is that I have also read another topic on rooting where it said 3 steps to root the device as 1. Flash an insecure kernel 2. Root using SuperOnceclick or S2Root 3. (Optional) flashing back the stock kernel to get rid of the yellow triangle on reboot screen.

Now, I am just wondering while I have just used chainfire's insecure kernel but I have the superuser AND I haven't even used superoneclick or S2Root!!! On the other hand I want to get rid of that yellow triangle on reboot.

The question is that whether I have missed anything out there!? And additionally Where can I find a stock kernel for my 2.3.5 firmware?

Any other useful tips are strongly welcomed ESPECIALLY by professional androidees!

Thank you in advance

Its happened twice that i can remember now.

This morning in bed I grabbed the phone, deleted some emails, opened the browser and the screen went blank with the sound of a slight crackle. It then instantly revooted (google logo popped up etc).

Im concerned the phone is faulty. Is it likely just one of those things or does it sound more sinister?

Hope somebody can advise. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dazzla:
Mine rebooted once the other day. I don't necessarily think that the phone is faulty, it just has bugs that need ironing out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AllGamer:
it's just the apps

it can happen with any android device

just keep an eye on which app is causing it

you can pull out the logs and scan through it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CHILLYDAWG:
I've been having the same thing as the OP. I get "Android is Upgrading" when it restarts, too.

In additiona I've seen (several times now) that when I press the power button to turn the screen on, it wont accept any input. After 30 minutes or so it spontaneously restarts and goes to the "Android is Upgrading" message when it restarts.

I'm on the verge of RMI'ing the thing as some of the other guys in the office who have it have not had the same problems.

I'm running vanilla sim free version, no operator tat installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mskip:
Are you running a totally unmodified stock rom or have you flashed a custom rom/kernel/radio to it? Kernels are still being worked on and arent perfect yet.

Also Android 4 is still very new and alot of apps are not fully compatable and subject to crashing or crashing the system.

Everything will be ironed out in time :)

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chipwizz:
Friends,

Today got a chance to use galaxy note and got impressed with s planner and note application. Anyone of you aware of port of these to our I9003.

I got .odex and .apk files from one of the s2 threads. unfortunately not working. Looks like some of files , may be libs are missing.

can someone post in case know which files are required and how to port them for I9003...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Lordrdx666:
The planner app is probably note specific and is specific for s pen usage, i doubt that it would have some chance for coming to our phone! :(

Btw -

Long time, no see!

Tapashocked :) via my gt-I9003 with a random keyboard of my choice ! :D
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] chipwizz:
It looks like S2 guys working on it. If it works on S2, I am sure it will not complain on SL. :)

I was traveling and had limited access to internet.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:
hi all, kinda at my wits end here (yes it is 2AM, Have spent some time trying to find answers in other posts, have tried many fixes, but to no avail)

late last night i was flashing the final release build of my rom onto my evo. no problem, went to make a nandroid of it (using clockwork), no problem. I have an 8gb sd card (samsung). so i reboot back into the rom, and that when things went to ***

The sd card was not detected by my evo after that. ok, no problem, i will see if i can see it in my linux box, plug in the cable to the usb, nothing. ok i run windows too, reboot into windows, same thing, card not being read.

no problem i have a 2gb sd card in my old blackberry. i format that, put it in the evo, doesn't read it. put the 8gb card i had in the evo in the old blackberry, it reads it.

so i format both cards in the blackberry, put amon ra pc36img.zip on both cards, go to my evo, and go to the bootloader, gonna do the install of the recovery this way, nope, cant read card. ok no problem, i was gonna try flashing a stock rom, copied the files over to the card(s) with the blackberry, put them back into the evo, nothing..time to search xda for fixes.

tried the sd card/usb fix from caulkin, but can't use it because adb and fastboot will not recognize my device at all. as well as the last reboot i did before coming here it seems my rom is also gone from the evo.

any advice for me on how i can proceed, before i call sprint tomorrow?

if anyone needs any more steps to what i have done/ not done to my evo let me know.

thanks in advance guys

edit - back in windows trying a ruu now...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Mounting I'm fastboot from the bootlaoder didn't work either? Make sure you have the correct unrevoked or revolutionary drivers depending when you rooted.

This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:
no it didn't, and i have the correct drivers. i am waiting for my evo to charge to try an ruu, so at least i can get a rom on my phone and go from there. thanks for your reply, might get some rest and continue this trek in the am :( lol
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Yea...flying back to school so I was up early. Let me know what happens.

This epic reply brought to you by none other than my roxx'd out Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:
seems the ruu is not going to work either. it gets to the part where it says waiting for bootloader, then shoots the error can't find phone, check your usb connection.

back to the drawing board
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Oh noes. Have you tried a different usb cable?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:
yes i have 2 cables. also if this may give a hint, fully formatted both cards in windows, when i re inserted back into the evo and went to recovery, and tried to mount, clockwork says this:

unable to write to ums lunfile (no such file or directory)

half smile? took the fully formatted 2gb card i had spare, put it in, got amon ra flashed, but it will not boot into amon ra, so there's something there

second try - boots into amon ra, trying to see storage in windows now..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
It 'almost' seems like you could have bad nv partitions.

I would try to re-flash amon ra via PC36IMG, if possible.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:
edited my post above, have successfully flashed amon ra, i am going to fully format the 8gb again, and see if i can get a full pc36img on it and flash that
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Hmm, I would recommend trying the adb usb fix before you go through the trouble of re-formatting again.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:
while i was formatting my 8gb card again fully, decided to try the ruu one more time, and it worked, just booting into the rom now, getting random reboots though, so yes i will try that fix again.

thanks for checking in with me!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
No prob man. Glad its working for ya. Clockwork doesn't always flash correctly for some users, which is why most use amon ra or twrp, but everyone can choose as they all have there own key features.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:
yea i usually use amon, but with testing my rom, rom manager is so convenient, i know i am not out of the woods yet, but i am closer!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
True that, and wish you luck. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brad560:

The phone storage is a flash drive built into and fixed to the phone. The internal storage is the equivalent of an SD card although it cannot be removed. Things such as downloaded apps and system firmware is stored in the phone storage and all your music and photos are stored in the internal storage.

When you copy files to and from a PC/MAC, those too are placed in the internal storage.

I have problem with BLN on the SGS2, VillainRom 3.0 Siyah2.2.

When a notification comes in, the BLN comes on which is to be expected.

However, if i screen on, displaying the lockscreen, and screen off, the BLN turns off, even though i have not checked the notification.

Time out is disabled on BLN.

Anyone experiencing this, or know how i can solve the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HellcatDroid:
That is normal and expected behaviour.

Once the screen turns on, the blinblin turns off.

That's also the reason why the screen must stay off for BLN to work for like SMS and the such.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meqwerty:
hmm... thanks for the reply.

one of my buddies, has his BLN left on even after the screen power on and off... i guess his is the abnormality then.

the funny thing is he doesn't know how he did it either. if not, i'd like to reproduce it for my phone too...

Edit:

Found a way to solve the problem. The MMS patch on check rom will allow the BLN to stay on even after the screen on and off.

I am attempting to make a Y cable using a few cables that I saw on Ebay, but first I need to know whether it will work or not. This is what I plan on doing:

1. Connect HD7 to original HTC cable

2. Connect the USB end to a female converter

3. Insert a Y cable to the female port (all sides of the Y cable are normal USB 2.0)

4. On one end, insert USB to computer

5. On the other end, add another female converter, and then a micro SD card reader

Do you think this will work? Please, I really need the answer urgently....I'm impatient :p

HELLO AND SALAM SATU MALAYSIA

Since i was newbie about android,

i try to overclock my Xperia X8.

so i went to market and i found Antutu CPU Master.

the problem is i found something that i never heard before.::::::

"GOVERNOR"

could someone told me..what is governor actually...

and what different better the governor module?

i only found about smartass..the other module..i didnt find in xda forum.

i hope someone could help me here..before i accidentally brick my phone.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeFcOn:
Cpu governor is control the Cpu freq.

- The OnDemand governor is the default option used by Android. It scales the CPU speed between the minimum and maximum speeds depending on CPU load. If the system needs more speed, the kernel will rapidly scale up the CPU speed.

- The Conservative sets the CPU speed in a similar way to the Ondemand governor, but scales the CPU up much less rapidly. This would theoretically save battery power, but may lead to less responsiveness.

- The Userspace governor is currently useless. It’s another way for applications to set the CPU speed that setCPU does not use.

- The Performance governor always keeps the CPU at the maximum set frequency.

Additionally, he makes reference to another option, which is not currently part of the setCPU app, so I am assuming that this is one that was removed in later versions.

- The Powersave governor always keeps the CPU at the minimum set frequency.

- Except for “Userspace,” no matter which governor you set, the CPU will always stay within the bounds of the maximum and minimum speeds you set in setCPU.

btw,what apps u use to overclock.?

and what governor u preferred? and what is ur min n max scale?

it is ok to use alfs kernel with different roms,not GDX?

So is it true that if you root/rom your kindle fire it is impossible to remove and go back to a completely untouched stock version?

I have heard rumors of this and i'm very curious. I already rooted mine, does that mean i can never get it back to untouched stock if i need to?

A more clear explanation would be wonderful.
[Kindle Fire General] Thelgow:
Root lets you do just about everything. Unrooting being one of them.
[Kindle Fire General] 05GT:
There is a video in the Development section that shows you exactly how to return your Kindle to bone stock.
[Kindle Fire General] rockstarar:
when you root you gain system root access. basically like read/write, and you become the "admin" so to speak. so unrooting is possible just by removing your access.

i was trying to change my vibrating settings on go sms so it doesnt vibrate during calls(because thats annoying)

then out of no where, it cuts off on me and died

i thought it was just a reset but it does not turn on at all

took batteries out, took sim/ memory card out too, still nothing

plugged wire in, doesnt turn on at all, as if it has no life.

Were you on DaBomb or Bombaridie?r
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericdude:
Definitely sounds dead to me. If you can't get the device turned on, you can't get into recovery or download mode which means you really can't do anything.

I'd start by calling T-Mobile, tell them what happened and see if you can get it replaced under warranty. If it's as dead as you say it is, they probably won't be able to get far enough in to it to find that its been rooted etc...

Good luck

Tell me if you can download mode or recovery. If you cant go to download mode try this way.
