[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbarol:
Hi all,

I am getting my brand new factory unlocked white GSII tomorrow in the mail! I am incredibly excited, and also slightly confused. If the GSII is such a great phone, why root it? Also, if you rooted it, how do you even begin to decide what mod to use for it or what kernel?

How did you decide what mod and kernel you wanted?

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohyeahar:
The GS2 is a great phone. You don't need to root it you it satisfies your needs right-out-of-the-box, which it likely will.

Don't get the idea that everybody roots their phone just from what you see here at XDA. This is a geek community, afterall. We're the minority.

That said, everybody has their own reasons for rooting. I personally, just wanted to mute the camera sounds and use MarketEnabler.

People also root to use custom ROMs (as I do). Are custom ROMs better than stock? Perhaps. Do you absolutely need a custom ROM if you find the stock ROM just fine? Probably not.

As for choosing mods, kernals, ROMs, etc...no one can answer that for you. You'll need to pick and choose based on your needs...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
I think every phone is worth rooting so you can delete those stupid apps that run in the background, delete those apps that your carrier might have put on there.

Oh and double your battery life. Not to mention cool themes. The guys making these roms tweak the **** out of the Samsung stuff to make it even better.

Plus you get that feeling of superiority when you use it-ok maybe not but whatever.:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kailkti:
If you don't need root then don't do it. Don't bother try fix what isn't broken.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbarol:
How do you decide which rom to choose from when there are so many out there? All of the descriptions seem the same to me (more battery, faster, fewer apps from carriers etc...). Is there really any difference?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 666fff:
Only way to find out is by trying them ;)

Each to their own.

I like hyperdroid by the way.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
If you need to ask this question, you will not need root or flash a rom. You should read a lot about the benefits and disadvantages of rooting and flashing. But at this point, you are not ready to begin messing with your phone. See this as an advice to save you lot's of trouble. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Try the simple roms with less bull**** first .

Selection should be what is taken off this rom that i require and can i put it back followed by do i want what's been added and then do i like the theme .

Ignore the faster smoother better battery life bits .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danmullen:
Rooting isn't the same as flashing a custom ROM or kernel. I use the stock Samsung firmware on my SGS2 but have it rooted. This allowed me to run certain apps that require elevated access rights, such as Titanium Backup.

If you don't need to root it, don't do it.
[HTC Rezound] meatrocket:
DOes anyone know how to turn off the annoying WiFi reminder? I get tired of it asking me if I want to use WiFi whenever it detects ANY WiFi network! If I wanted to use WiFi, I'd turn it on and connect to it manually.

[HTC Rezound] Blacktruck:
Uncheck the second box in wifi settings.
[HTC Rezound] meatrocket:
Nevermind, I found it. Go to Settings/WiFi Settings and uncheck the ""Notify Me" check box. The desription says "When launching apps, notify me when a Wi-Fi is available".
[HTC Rezound] postmortem.:
It will still not work if you have WiFi enabled and some network is detected.

Hi All,

We were able to run successful giveaway campaigns for a high quality screen protector that we are trying to bring into the market. We got some really awesome feedbacks from the helpful XDA community in terms of the quality of our product.

Now, I would like to ask the community for some ideas that would differentiate us from other brands.

Something creative instead of "Technology X" vs "Technology Y" jargon which normal consumers may not understand.

The Kioky: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kioky/kioky-perfect-fit-applicator-iphone-screen-protect?ref=live was a great idea, but unfortunate to what happened towards the end.
[Acer Iconia A500] GCurry:
Actually, I've had 2, both purchased from Costco.

I really liked them, except for 2 things:

-- microphone weirdness. Honeycomb upgrade didn't fix it.

-- Acer didn't seem committed to Android tablet business.

I didn't mind the weight, and loved being able to carry my library and videos around. Not a game player. But those two things were my hard issues.

ICS emphasizes voice response, so now I'm looking at Transformer Prime, and just waiting. In the meantime, I miss my Android tablet ...
[Acer Iconia A500] WereCatf:
Aye, the microphone is often quoted as the worst part of the whole thing. There's people even here quite constantly saying how bad it is and how nothing seems to help.

For me it has never been an issue, I don't use voice chats and no services support Finnish anyways.
[Acer Iconia A500] netham45:
Yea, the mic on them is awful. It's rather disappointing too, the thing takes pretty decent video but the audio is crap.

As far as Acer not seeming committed, I think they're committed as far as any other company is. Expecting anyone to indefinitely support a device is far-fetched, to say the least. We've currently received 2 OS upgrades (3.0>3.1>3.2) and a handful of other updates. They've been a bit behind, but overall I've been pretty happy with their updates. It will be interesting to see if they upgrade to ICS or not.

I have heard some horror stories about their service of defective devices, though. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with that.
[Acer Iconia A500] Afronicus:
Anybody know if one of those 3.5mm laptop mic's would work with the tablet?

Does that jack even support one....hmmm.

---------- Post added at 06:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:33 PM ----------

Don't know why I didn't check prior to that post.

But yeah, just plugged in my mic'd headset, works.

that thing might be a good solution for our microphone woes.
[Acer Iconia A500] strra:
i bought a refurb and the mic seems perfectly fine. same sound quality as any of the other tablets i had.

maybe it's some sort of hardware thing that got fixed when it was being refurbished?
[Acer Iconia A500] :
I had the pin from the charger receptacle pop out of the tablet and stay attached to the charger itself (neighbor's kid ran full force through the unit while it was being charged). I sent it back for repair, and they had it back inside of 10 days, fixed, no questions asked, and no charge. It doesn't get much better than that. ;)
[Acer Iconia A500] ingrouille:
Seriously considering returning mine. I love it but the mic issue is too much. I purchased the extended 2yr warrenty from Futureshop so I'm hoping if it doesn;t repaired that I can get a refund so I can get a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

This a thread where you can let everyone know which rom your currently using.

Feel free to leave any comments concerning your rom, like why your using it, or why you like it so much, your performance settings, your configuration, etc, etc.

This should be interesting :)

At the moment, I"m currently using Dreamteam Froyo (see my signature)

Its super fast, lightweight, practically stock (cuz its AOSP), which is what i need.

Im on froyo because gingerbread is just to laggy for me.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SH31KH:
I'm using FroyoByLaszlo but it's been super modded to work even better =P

It's like the Dwang of FroYo..kind of.

I set my MTD to 110 15, pushed all apps that I use regularly onto the system memory, optimized the minfree settings, I use AutoStarts for fast and controlled reboots, ummm... I have the ICS Launcher, clocked at 245 595 ondemand, and have a 16gb class10 microsd for all other apps like games..

I think that pretty much covers my setup =P
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bresiyel:
Currently on ADS_Magpie (I enjoy how everything just seems to work), but I do like DREAMteam Froyo (was waiting on the next version to test it out again).

I'm using Dreamteam Froyo. Everything is perfect except it doesn't push the Gapps to ext partitions. The best thing is custom mtd regained lot of internal space.

MTD & Minfree

I just discovered FbL like a month ago and It's running very well so far. But you know, always trying to learn something new and improve even more our old phone, I found interesting your mods: MTD (looking for info) and for minfree did you used and app from market or other way? it's permanent or have to be done on every reboot? Do you mind share some info about?

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mishamosher:
I use Official's 'Kanged' CM7 by dw9906.

I've replaced camera.apk of latest build with the one of 09302011 build. This because in latest build I couldn't take videos in high resolution and changing options caused FC's, replacing camera.apk fixed the trouble!

Also removed rommanager.apk, I don't use it, and it charges RAM on start-up.

Latest ezgb kernel (1.5.2).

Latest gapps (20110828), with MarketUpdater.apk removed to stop market updates (3.x versions are too laggy in G1).

Latest SuperUser from goo-inside.me/superuser (3.0.7).

SwapScript2.1.1 from forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/208-swap-enabledisable/page__p__1303#entry1303 with bootswapv2 and 60 of swapiness.

SD Class 4, 8GB, 512 MB ext4, and 96 MB swap.

Using Official 'Kanged' CM7 cause I really like the any file type downloads and internet browser, specially of CyanogenMod's officials builds. Also like GingerBread by high compatibility with market apps, FroYo doesn't give me so much compatibility, particulary with some C# programming apps.

Also using S2E. Apps, private apps, and data is on SD ext partition.

File Manager and Terminal apps deleted, using ones from Market (OI File Manager and Terminal Emulator by Jack Palevich).

Radio 2.22.28.25 and SPL 1.33.0013d.

My device is a DREA10000, DREAM PVT 32B aka T-Mobile's HTC Dream 32B.

And I forgot it, only ROMs that I don't and never will use is sense ones, they haven't bluetooth and it's essential for me.

Always putting an eye on infinimod's Éclair sense and GBSense cause they're offering bluetooth working from a long ago... but haven't seem this to hapen yet :(

Anyone know if the TMobile 4G version can be rooted and which custom rom I can used on it?

2. There is no such thing as the "Best ROM" you need to try them and judge for yourself :eek:

[Desire HD Android Development] soleil10:
When you flash A ROM here, i means A rom, you will find it is the best one. After you have changed your idea and decide to flash another one, you will find it is better than the first one. ANd so on so forth, you can only get a better one. You will never find the best. :):):)

And if i give you the first ROM, i recommand the SmartDroit 1.1 (maybe 1.2 when you can root your DHD). But you may find the next ROM would be the worse one...
[Desire HD Android Development] babijoee:
Please read, search before you post.

There is no best rom... its just preference.

If you like sense or no sense. Miui or cyanogen.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danlthemanl:
I want to be able to get a job as a mobile developer (Android/iPhone). I'm self-taught in java and currently learning the android sdk. What I'm wondering is how I would go about getting the proper training and proof that I can create apps. I know the obvious answer is 4 year CS degree, but that's not really an option for me. Could somebody without a CS degree be taken seriously when applying for jobs without 4 years under my belt? Where would I go to get proper training for android/iphone development and get something to show and prove I know my stuff? I can't find anything on the internets, hopefully someone can push me in the right direction. :o

Thanks, I hope this is the right thread.

[Kindle Fire General] SifJar:
You could probably modify it by editing framework-res.apk.

Some stuff about editing that file: https://docs.google.com/Doc?docid=0AcdxIJRSH9ypZGZzc2pxNDlfMjdnazk4OHNxZA&hl=en

Also, it has already been done for Fire, so it is possible and it works etc. : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1365712

EDIT: You could also probably do it with a MetaMorph theme, but you'd still need to do the same stuff pretty much, only instead of repacking the framework-res.apk, you'd build a MetaMorph ZIP and install it via MetaMorph.

[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Streakdroid 1.9.x supports host mode

Stock roms do not

I dont believe any other rom does.

Supporting usb-msds requires giving up normal usb mounting on SD 191, it's mainly a software limitation as so few people use usb host as there was previously no cables for it.
[Streak 5 General] manics:
To：sharptv

I think it works with all rom (I tested it with DSC 0.6b 2.3.3).

And it needs commands to mount or umount U-disk(mouse & keybord doesn't)

To: TheManii

If you can see my video, you will believe it works with 2.3.3.

And I believe other ROMs will be the same.

By the way, though it works, there are many inconvenients by now.

Maybe I should try Streakdroid 1.9.x to find improvement.
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
It doesnt work on the kernel I'm using, might be my kernel or simply the cable isnt working (i'm testing though the multimedia dock + an adapter)

Here's a breakdown of compability:

1.6 : I cant recall

2.1 :

Stock roms: yes

Custom roms: yes

2.2 :

Stock roms: no

Custom roms before SD191: no

SD191: Yes

Custom roms after SD191: depends on kernel/maker

2.3 :

SD2.0/2.3 : no

SD2.4 : dont recall

Other custom roms : depends on kernel/maker
[Streak 5 General] manics:
what do you mean of YES/NO

automount/no automount?

or

mount by hand/doesn't work even mount by hand?
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
Only the newest 2.2 roms support usb hosting, and only SD19x supports USB-MSD mounting because it has many issues.

I dont think any other rom supports mounting drives, but they might support keyboards/mice.

I'm pretty sure no 2.3 rom supports mounting drives, keyboards/mice at best.

I do not count manually mounting by terminal, even if it does work it's not useful. Only automatic mounting AND usb mode counts, which no rom has ever been able to do.
[Streak 5 General] manics:
By GScript we can press only one button on screen to mount/umount U-disk

That doesn't troublesome.

And could you please tell me which is the newest rom that supports auto mount (link better).
[Streak 5 General] TheManii:
There are no roms that do that, on the streak at least.

but the mouse really move ,just like in pc (without cursor)，

and it can drag system bar
