Meh. Just install genokolar's CWM Recovery, put su-bin-3.0.3-efgh-signed.zip on the internal eMMC (or external microSD card, if you so desire) from http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and use CWM to install the ZIP. Afterwards, just grab Superuser from the Market.

@Druida69

You can restore the boot.img if you have it. The last time I used a boot.img to root my phone, all it did was install su and Superuser. Both changes remained for me when I reverted back to stock boot.img
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
can you put that step-by-step plz?

- Flash 2.3 rom

- then what order should I do things??
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] qwerty12:
Pretty much how I said above:

Put the su ZIP onto the eMMC/miniSD card

Install a CWM Recovery (I used genokolar's, personally, but I have a U8800pro) - keep a copy of the original recovery.img if you want to revert back after you're done (if you're a rebel, you can do this step first, followed by the above step)

Use CWM Recovery to "install ZIP from sdcard" and choose the su ZIP file

Reboot and install Superuser

You can also use the Superuser-3.0.7-efgh-signed.zip ZIP if you want to have Superuser stored in the /system partition (impervious from /data formats)

--

If you've already rooted your phone, though, you may find it easier to just restore the stock 2.3 boot.img

Edit: DONE
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] mfaizank:
it works thanks
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Druida69:
thanks when I tried this it worked but because Gno changed the zip file as he realised that ramdisk from CN version was different from overseas.

BUt, after a few hours the phone just suddenly rebooted and then the bootlooping start again so I when back to MIUI already.

I think is to soon to start playing around with this rom.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] lovetide:
Thanks, it worked after I fixed an error in my phone:

I've already installed SuperUser.apk and BusyBox before, and /system/bin/su is soft linked to /system/bin/busybox, and I encounted "su: must be suid to work properly", so take a look at fixme.bat, and then manually run zergRush, then manually replace /system/bin/su with files\su, now SuperUser.apk and /system/bin/su can run properly.

Although this won't let the phone boot as root user (or someone else booted as root user?), but it can switch to root user via SuperUser.apk and /system/bin/su.

For those who miss the speed dial features, you may want to try this app.

SPEED DIAL v1 by DOAN LY

It adds speed dial capability to stock dialer. You don't have to install new dialer from the market.

It is small in size (80.54 kb) and support to 20 numbers. Really functional.

Here is the market link :

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nick5000:
If I load a few pages in a browser (have tried many different browsers, all works the same) they gets killed after a sleeping for a while, meaning I have to reload the content. It seems to happen after a certain time not being used.

This did not happen on my HTC Desire HD.

I tried today to place a browser (miren) into the /system/app folder, to see if that made any difference, but it didn't.

Why is this happning? any why not on the desire HD?

any hack I can do to fix it?

It's useful to when on fast internet load 10 pages and read them sometime later.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
Just a guess, but it may be a RAM management thing. My N1 will exit the browser occasionally even when the phone is asleep to free up RAM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
I'm experiencing this issue as well and it's irritating. I wondered, too, if it was a ram management issue, but it'll happen even after just a few minutes with no other apps launched. None of my other phones have closed the browser for ram issues without a long time of inactivity and many other apps opened using lots of ram.

Is there some way to specify the browser as preferred or something so the system won't close it, in case it is ram management?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nick5000:
I guess it has something to do with ram management, so how to adjust that?

I tried putting it in system folder, that didn't make any difference, tried running it as root, no difference.

Maybe another kernel would do it differently? anybody knows? Don't want to spend lots of time installing a new kernel if it doesn't make any difference.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GuestX0057:
This is both a browser and a ram management issue.

Android automatically kills off apps that are using ram on the background after they are inactive for a period and most browsers, the stock one included, tend to hog a surprising amount of memory which in turn makes them priority number 1 for android to kill off.

I have no answer as to how to fix this problem aside from trying other browsers, sorry.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nick5000:
what you're saying is not completely accurate, because this does not happen in other phones, desire HD has less RAM also.

I don't think it's a browser issue, as I have tried many different and it will work the same. The ram does not need to be critically low before it gets killed, it might happen when there is more than 250mb free
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] easycure1974:
It happens for me with messaging app also. It can be the only thing running with loads of free ram. And suddenly its killed, very annoying because its pretty slow starting again. Never happened in my SG SII
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] GuestX0057:
The Note isn't my first android phone that does this (mind you I haven't owned any HTC devices) but if this is the case then it means that ram management on the Note is quite aggressive. The only way to "fix" this is with custom kernels unless Samsung does something about it themselves (and I wouldn't count on that)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rossygnol:
I'm experiencing the same problem but I don't really mind since I don't open many tabs at time. So I just have to go to the history tab to reopen the page.

At least for the stock browser it would have been better just to save the URL while killing the browser so when u open it again it will reload all the pages.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
Is it possible the S-pen places greater demands on the Note's RAM than other phones? Perhaps it tries to keep a certain amount of RAM free at all times for this purpose.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Maybe, but remember that with higher resolution and higher amount of RAM the device will use more RAM.

An example is computers. I have a netbook and a standard notebook (laptop). The netbook has 1GB RAM and the resolution is 1024x600 and running Ubuntu. It uses 90MB at boot (after tweaking)

My notebook has 2GB RAM, and the resolution is 1366 x 768 and is also running Ubuntu. It uses 200MB at boot (same tweaks as the notebook)

- Higher resolution = More pixels and more information that needs prosessing on the screen

- More RAM = It can allow itself to use more

I've seen A LOT of this at Ubuntuforums and other places with people with 8 and 16GB RAM, and they are complaining about high RAM usage. It's the same with computers with HD screens.

I've tried to find the thread about this, but i can't find it :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
Excellent points.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nick5000:
solved

So I played with root explorer and moved many of the samsung apps that I don't use out of /system/app folder.

I'm not sure what exactly did it. The email program was the only one I deleted (by accident) - but it was set to not sync, so it shouldn't be working in the background anyway.

I also put the Miren browser in the /system/app folder. Didn't notice any difference to that at first, so not sure if that contributed at all.

Another thing I did was to install adfree. It didn't seem to work, but I don't know if it made any changes that would make a differnece. I'm just listing up everything I did that day.

But the biggest change after all this is:

BATTERY LIFE !!

has doubled! I used to get around 10-12 hours with moderat usage, yesterday I was at 50% after 12 hours usage. And Miren browser now does not shut down, except I push the phones with other ram hungry applications.

Funny is, that display used to be high up on the battery usage statistics, but now Andoird OS is very high, but the phones use much less battery! Doesn't make any sense, but I don't complain..

I'm running stock european 2.3.6 firmware that I downloaded from sammobile.com. I rooted it, but didn't notice any differnce before or after the root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] entaro:
Can you list down what apps did u remove? Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nick5000:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] runaway64:
I am pretty sure it is not a memory management issue. I come from the GalaxySII and it never happened despite having many browser windows open. I think this phone now is harder trying to close unused apps, based on inactivity time, to improve battery life (which is much better than SGS2) and shuts down apps that may not allow the CPU to go to deep sleep.

To me it does not look like an issue, more like a feature, it is not like you get you work "killed" or unsaved. And you could always load pages from your browser's history. -I know, I know, you like to preload your webpages to look at them later.-

Also, updated versions for the note have several options to battery saving within the browser, have you tried them?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
More excellent points. I'll bet you're right.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nick5000:
Yeah, it might be something to better battery life, but then it's the complete opposite of my recent findings that the battery life was much better while the browser does not get killed (after removing system apps).

I guess this issue/feature wouldn't have been a problem if I lived in a world with perfect high speed internet access all the time. here in China, it can get slow, some pages take a long time to load, so why should I want to reload them..

also, when I fly, i like to load up 10 pages and read them while up in the air. last week I was very disappointed when i found out that just leaving the phone by itself for halv and hour had made the browser restart.

Anyway, I'm happy now, after the mod Miren browser does not reload alot, only after loading several heavy progams in between. Still, it makes me want to optimise it more, so i could get even more free ram to use.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigmout:
Wait, what? I interpreted your results as consistent with his hypothesis. You removed apps that were draining the battery, allowing better battery life. Perhaps that's why the system is no longer compelled to shut down the browser.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] nick5000:
he said that the better battery life is because the browser gets shut down.

[General Questions and Answers] IJS-T:
Well to be honest, you'll probably find more apps in the andoid market than in the app-store. What's even better: most are free.

The software itself is looking more like iOS, and iOS more like android. But in the end I like my android phone with Sense3.0, cause it's more open in my opinion. Now concerning you're apps, just take a look in the android market yourself to make up your mind:

https://market.android.com/
[General Questions and Answers] kanav bhasin:
I'll be honest with you. Your main concern is the apps and games so stick with the iPhone 4s its a smashing device for entertainment. You get all the mainstream games first on ios. Also you spent a lot of money on it , if you really are completely unhappy with your iphone, there are now a range of better android phones with better displays and features. Go for stuff like the galaxy nexus/ amaze 4G etc. I honestly don't think that the sensation now has any usp to buy it over the newer phones other than user preference or a cheaper price tag.
[General Questions and Answers] kanav bhasin:
If you'd act smart you might find a person who'd pay you a lot more than required for a new sensation just because of the demand of your iPhone. There is a lot of isheep in this world.
[General Questions and Answers] lws803:
Hmm do you enjoy future proofing phones and meddling with the insides of the phone's software for the greater good?
[General Questions and Answers] KlashbeN:
The apps from Apple app store is much better IMHO. There are some good entertainment apps on Android but not as much as Apple and not as new too.
[General Questions and Answers] nrvnqsrxk:
Apps are more polished on the iOS, and for the most part, are more consistent. Sometimes I find apps don't work as well on the Sensation. But the caveat is that usually you have to pay for their apps.

To be honest there are only a couple of apps that I can't do without on the Sensation, and those are GoSMS, Evernote, Dropbox, Tapatalk, Twitter, Music, Root Explorer, Navigation. Everything else is pretty much icing on the cake.
[General Questions and Answers] mrg02d:
I see the iphones as working as advertised. The android phones require some assembly. ;)

For instance, HTC was a POS for not optimizing the Sensation like Samsung did the GS2. Just because GingerBread wasnt ready for dual core phones, doesnt mean HTC had an excuse to go weak on us. Samsung spent time getting the GS2 to work like it should...HTC just keeps throwing Sensation variants at the market instead of optimizing.

I hate that I have to wait for DEVS to fix what HTC should have done from the start. The Iphone does what you want it to do, right out of the box. (At least with my experience). All my android phones require rooting and tweaking to get it to work as advertised.

Now, with the Iphone, what you see is what you get. You wont find the same hardware that the android super phones have, so there goes your potential. Youll need to buy a new phone each time instead of wait for a new Android flavor.

And yea...The android apps are hit and miss sometimes. Everyone has an app now these days...
[General Questions and Answers] Mainspring:
most apps work fine on the Senny.

those that don't work or can't get from the Google market, there are work arounds.

there are some apps that are not available or that don't work(due to driver issue) but percentage isn't that large.

personally don't mind putting up with minor inconvenience for more open, better looking OS/UI, and better hardware.

having said that though, if I was in the market for a Android phone now, I'd skip the Senny and get one of the newer phones out now.

i.e. Galaxy Nexus, Droid Razr, ect.
[General Questions and Answers] messer19:
I recommend you stick with iPhone 4s. I sold my iPhone 3G some year ago and tried a couple of Android devices. Altough Android is great, it can never compare to iOS´s stability and speed. Also the apps/games are pretty polished to work flawlessly on iPhones. I have never been more satisfied with other system than iOS. Main Android´s disadvantage is that is produced for various devices with various hardware capabilties. And manufacturers never make perfectly flawless firmwares for it (and because of that the XDA forums exist :) ) Now I´m selling my Sensation (purchased for 540 euros) which is suffering from really funny defects (see many complain threads in here on XDA). I´m really pretty pissed and have strong feeling that I´ll buy iPhone again.
[General Questions and Answers] mrg02d:
To be fair, we ought to wait for ICS before comparing phones. ICS is supposed to bring what the Sensation should have had all along. If ICS rolls around and we still see numerous issues, then the iPhone 4s would be the winner.

iPhones work great without having to fiddle with them, but are already at their best.

Android phones are usually way ahead of the software and either have to wait months (sometimes a friggen year) or require ALOT of fiddling. ICS is supposed to unite all the devices, so we will see.

If it wasnt for tmobile being such a tard, I would have also chosen an iPhone.

[Galaxy S II General] Life Engineer:
First let me take opportunity to thank all developers, cookers, kernel makers, app makers, theme makers and everyone for their outstanding job for our beloved SII! :)

I guess we all agree that the most wanted / sophisticated / beautiful (but not fastest) user interface is the HTC sense! And i know that there's a project ongoing to try to port a HTC sense 3.0 rom on our phone and that is really great!

However today i was watching the motorolla RAZR review and i kind of liked the user interface (dunno if it's still like the original motoblur)! I think it may be fair to give it a shot!

Besides there's the Sony Ericson user interface (timescape) which evolved beautifully IMHO in the latest devices! It looks classy IMHO!

There's also the LG user interface which doesn't look (at least from the looks) so attractive! It may look like touchwiz!!!

And i know there's a lot more!

So i thought! Hey why not port these ROMS to our S2!

I know there's a lot of launchers for android in the market! But i'm not talking only about the launcher, it's it and the widgets, the apps, the colors, the looks and the whole user experience!

So i think it might be a good idea if some devs-cookers try to port these systems in our phones or at least port part of it (maybe launcher and widgets and apps etc..)!

I think these might turn to be some special and challenging ports! I believe that few"non-routine" devs might give it a shot! (Actually i hope so).

PS: Please don't flame, or reply rude answers, these are simply some ideas; if you can't be helpful that's OK! But at least don't be unhelpful!

[Galaxy S II General] B3311:
As per your request, I am not being rude, flaming nor being unhelpful, but I'd like to know your

factual

basis for what I interpret as a gross generalisation?

I personally wouldn't use any of your adjectives to describe Sense.

So who are all these people who concur with your opinion of sophistication etc?

Again, I stress I'm not hating - just at a loss to see how you can justify this statement.
[Galaxy S II General] LBTaylor1984:
tbh since ICS launch i doubt your going to find many interested, but i'm still all for it. my wish is someone would make an app to make using any widget possible, on any launcher, and any rom. that would be amazing.

I'd certainly be interested in playing with a port of Sony's latest Timescape UI & social network integration apps... never been much of a fan of HTC Sense though...

[Galaxy S II General] Life Engineer:
Ok man you're right! Not everyone likes sense!

However, if we want to rely on most users opinion, and especially on professional reviews (say endgaget, gsmarena, etc...) they all say that the best custom user interface for android is htc sense!

Personally, I had htc desirehd running sense 3.5 and it was wonderful!

Again you're right I shouldn't have generalized!
