[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikolic_93:
Hello

I want to install villainrom 3.0 but before I do that, I just have a couple of quick questions.

1. Does my current android version matter when i want to install a new rom. I am currently using the 2.3.3 version. Will it cause problems since it's relatively outdated?

2. Do i need a specific kernel? i.e. Will my baseband version, kernel version or build number cause problems?I am using CF-Root kernel with the following specifications:

my baseband version: XXKG2

my kernel version: XWKF3

my build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKF3

I know that these are probably noobish questions but i appreciate your help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
1. no, the rom will update your phone.

2. No, you do not need a specific kernal as the rom comes with its own kernel.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leamoor:
first! u need to flash have clockworkmod kernel
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikolic_93:
I've already rooted it with CF-root and i have the clockworkmod installed. I've read on the cwm-kernel post that he doesn't recomend flashing it if I already have CF-root. Is there any reason why villainrom wouldn't work with CF-kernel as the post above stated that villainrom comes with its own kernel?

Also, Do i need anything else before i flash villain rom?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azamc:
ok well i bricked my phone after i was trying to go back to stock but accidently repartitions using a sgs pit file (following the wrong guide)

yes yes laugh it up im a idiot/noob. i feel like poo :(

so iv been doing some reading to find if theres a fix and i cant come up with an answer. my question is, as of today (04/12/11) is there a fix for it?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] frigid:
How does poo feel. Can you get to anything like recovery, bootloader, eben you plug into computer any thing happen?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] azamc:
nope cant do anything its dead :(
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Gamer2:
Don't loose heart just yet! try this combo

1) take out d battery

2) plug ur phone to d pc

3) windows may/may not install drivers for ur chipset, incase it does ,let it do so

4) press the 3 button combo to get in recovery and while pressing, replace the battery

5) it should boot in download mode

i've just heard of this but never tried so i dunno if it works

alternatively search goodle for "heimdall" and c if it supports ur device!

Is it going to be worth installing ICS on Galaxy Tab??? give the hardware differences from lets say the Galaxy Tab plus, what possiable benifits would there be from Froyo original, Gingerbread ROM's, Honeycomb ROM's prior versions to the new ICS Ice Cream Sandwich BETA developement, I know what ICS brings to the table, but given having to deal with hardware limitation of original Galaxy Tab, what would be the biggest reason to have ICS on the GT other than just to have it? What apps or user needs could compel someone going thru this task to warrant the work involved?? What categories would be the most beneficial for example

Graphics/Photo

or

File-Management

or....:confused:

Any insight for people looking in to this project?
[Galaxy Tab General] goughymachine:
I've been running the alphas and betas on my galaxy s for like a week now, and I can't wait for it to run on my tab. I need WiFi and 3g on my tab, otherwise I'd be giving it a go already.

The benefits, well it's fun to play! I think it runs better than anything I've tried on my phone, and think it'll be great on this.

Tmob Galaxy Tab 7

Hi there,

i got alpha2 of the ICS build running on my tmob tab. Works great tbh cept for no wifi and no edge data yet but Angel_666 says he's got data running now and wifi soon.

Someone put up bc4329.ko wifi driver supposedly compiled for our tab and ics and i tried to adb push it to the tab and then insmod it in but got

~ # insmod /data/bcm4329.ko

insmod /data/bcm4329.ko

insmod: can't insert '/data/bcm4329.ko': invalid module format

so hopefully they've fixed that

Also i couldnt seem to successfully edit build.prop within the zip file. every time i did the zip would not install.

finally gave up and just adb pulled the build.prop down off the tab, edited it, pushed it back and rebooted

ICS looks great in the 160dpi mode. Hope the wifi drivers are up sometime this week.

Battery life seems ok so far...will keep more track.

thanks

meh
[Galaxy Tab General] coopaclown:
Good question

One we need to hear more about!
[Galaxy Tab General] *AndroidMaster*:
It's worth it...I got alpha 2 on my t-mobile..as soon as WiFi is up...it will be better...battery life is great I got 4 days and 6 hours before my tablet died
[Galaxy Tab General] smaragdhk:
LOL... you got a great battery life because you're not running wifi nor data...
[Galaxy Tab General] nevermore781:
Alpha 4

Well Alpha 4 was up last night and i snagged it and applied the root and wifi fixes and everything seems to be working. The terminal app they had included did not work and crashed whenever i tried to "install" it from the market. Also superuser shows up under not install in the my apps section. edit: now it seems the thread doesnt have alpha 4 listed?? wth

Otherwise wifi is working fine.

I cant seem to find adobe flash player in the market now either just AIR...is there no flash for ICS?

if you are running the build and seem to be stuck in portrait mode and want to switch to landscape, open the camera app and it will switch to landscape then hit home again and bingo - stuck in landscape mode now.
[Galaxy Tab General] red_rebel:
Hello,

It is not ready for daily operations, but looks very promising.

For now it is wise to stick with alpha3 with patches and do some testing.
[Galaxy Tab General] SuperDave1685:
I took a look at the thread over the development section. i'll give it a try here in a bit I think, just to test it out. if the bugs and kinks can get worked out, such as the camera, then I think it will pretty cool. that's just my $0.02 though.
[Galaxy Tab General] lovexylitol:
My experiences with ICS on VZW tab.

Graphic Acceleration not working or not smooth (UI, Browser) but good enough to play Sudoku or Angry Birds without lag.

WiFi slow on establishing connection but fine after connection.

Orientation not working correctly.

Some font and UI resizing issues, some launcher features missing, miscellaneous minor issues.

[And I think GPS is not working, but I do not use the tab GPS anyway]

[Camera is not working, but no big issue for me]

Other than that, the AOSP build is working wonderfully. I can play music, video in portrait, read email and sync with MS exchange (I think that's all I do). And of course, get a sneak peek at the new Android OS and the SDK! :)
[Galaxy Tab General] slimdizzy:
The ICS issue aren't due to the hardware not being able to do ICS stuff but more so lack of binary files needed to support said hardware. Given that the Nexus S OTA is out now we should start to see some progress. Don't ever expect a 100% working rom though.

ICS is great, the UI is much better, and it´s optimized for Tablets
[Galaxy Tab General] vs_infinity:
It is definitely worth to install ICS on galaxy tab as it is design for tablet, been using it for days and find that the alpha build is quite stable except for some minor bugs but it is still usable.

It is still in Alpha stage but the rom will get better in the next release
[Galaxy Tab General] madkat:
Definitely worth it, if only to have a Tablet-oriented OS on the Tablet. Using ICS on the Galaxy Tab is such a hugely pleasurable experience. My wife has an iPhone but loves ICS. So much so that she's getting my 2nd Galaxy Tab when I've finished playing with ICS on it (i.e. when we get a version that's good enough as a Daily Driver) and we'll fund another data SIM for it.
[Galaxy Tab General] kryptoniteman:
How did u get wifi to work? I can't get back into clockworkmod after flashing the cdma kernel.....
[Galaxy Tab General] pvtjoker42:
I'm running the vzw ICS from from rootzwiki, and wifi seems to work, but it disconnects and reconnects pretty regularly. But it works well enough for me to read and post here..
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
1. Ok so I have this framework.jar file that someone send me from some other international forum (I can't remember it was long time ago), and he gave me instructions as how to do it: something with adb and SDK, where I change the original file with his one.

This worked on my INFUSE (ATT).

But it will not work on Weapon.

Mind you - CM7 has RTL support out of the box. (if you didn't know).

RTL is important for Hebrew and Arabic languages.

Anyone can help me with this?

I would even contact the creator of WeaponG2x if i knew how!

As always - thanks a million to all you people who help people like me

[HTC Rezound] dmoses1969:
How can you rebuild fusion.apk or any other sense apk? I didnt think m10 tools worked on sense 3.5 yet?

Is there something else that will help theming of sense 3.5?
[HTC Rezound] fmedrano1977:
You can replace the m10 file of a Sense3.5 theme and replace it with a m10 file from a sense 3.0 theme and it will work. Only thing that won't get skinned is the Rosie launcher. I've done this and has worked on my Sensation.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
That won't work on the Rezound. I've been at it all day and that method only works on Sensation and EVO 3D. Trust me guys, Fusion.apk which leads to Clock MODS, Lock Ring, Rosie Home/Rosie Lock CANNOT be themed right now until Diamondback releases the tool for it. For those who haven't a clue who Diamondback is or Flemmard, and HAVEN'T donated yet, I strongly recommend giving them thanks or spare a small donation to these guys. We wouldn't be able to theme any HTC Fusion.apk's without their work.

@raiderman I'm sure your best bet for now is too use beautiful widgets. If your not already.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
There's a little bump on the battery cover over the speaker.

I assume this is so if you lay the phone on a flat surface you don't totally muffle the speaker - good idea.

They should have done this on each side of the camera, to protect the camera lens. Ah well, good reason to guy a case I guess.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carhigh:
They should put a speaker on the front too so you can hear clearly what music you are changing thru on the screen, which IS on the front. I've been wondering when I'm going g to see a phone with a speaker on the front also

Also, you have to look sometimes because the keyboards are context sensitive. Whilst I love that fact about them, it does mean that you have different layouts for different apps.

But yeah, physical keyboards very rarely get a look.
