[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeRom:
So I could use some assistance from the devs here :P

I'm trying to create my own ROM. I have little coding experience, but I'm doing some themeing work and using kitchen. I'm having a few issues:

I'm trying to replace the built in kernel with tiny's 12/1 kernel. I extracted the kernel from the boot.img and replaced the zImage and the extra lib it needed, but it shows up as Oct. 14 build of the kernel. What am I doing wrong?

Also, whenever I try flashing the ROM, it works fine, but when I hit the back button to go to CWM main menu, it gives me errors.

Can't mount E:\Cache (something else, will get it in a bit)

Could it be an updater-script error? I'm trying to include the Ext4all mod in it, could that cause it?

In themeing, I changed system_ui.apk, framework_res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk and now my top status bar won't show. No notifications, no dropdown, nothing.

Any help on any of this stuff would be greatly appreciated. I'm trying to learn from all this and want to fix these thigns up.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dmeadows013:
I can help :).

1. That is way to complicated lol for adding a kernel. Just take your rom (Minus kernel), flash kernel, and then pull the boot.img using "adb pull /dev/mtd/mtd2 boot.img-from-phone", and look in your cd'd folder for the boot.img. Just include it in your rom.

2. Flash your rom, then go to advanced, then click report error. Look on your SD for clockworkmod/recovery.log. PM or post it to me. I'll take a look. Also send me your updater-script.

3. How did you decompile the apk? If you used apktool, you need to put the Meta-inf folder and AndroidManifest.xml from the original apk's in the new ones. Then you should be good.

If you need any help, just let me know :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeRom:
Thank you so much. Trying to include the Ext mod isn't working out so I'll just list that separately. All I have left to do is theme it, wish me luck!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rancidm:
I have a sgs2 att

it was messing up and couldnt really do anything on home screen, so i tried reseting it in settings. now it needed a password to factory reset . so I thought reflashing the rom would fix it. I used odin and flashed to a stock unrooted rom, via the 1 click odin flash when its done [passed] your are to factory data reset but when i atempted to in e3 console it asked for a password again ..

if somebody calls me or txt me i can respond and get passed the lock screen onlt to answer the call or txt.but i cant call out or log in.

what do i do now.

Ok !!! i fixed it, this should probbly be a sticky i dont know..

this is what was happening when i was in e3 to wipe factory reset.

after pressing wrong password a few times a bit scared as to what would happen next It finally said wrong password will remove all data. I entered wrong password again and it wiped factory reset it !!

so enter wrong passwords bout 4 times allowed wiping. why couldn't i find this info any ware before ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Crazy stuff. Never heard of that happening. Sounds like the only thing is to boot into download mode and use odin to flash stock or stock rooted.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
That's great news.

I've never run into this, nor have I ever seen a post about it. My guess is that very few people here are even familiar with setting a password to lock wipe data/factory reset, and that few if any would know the sequence you just discovered. Glad you got it sorted out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rxc777:
thanks for post OP

same thing happened to me today and was annoyed by it but thanks to your post i was able to fix it

thanks again :D

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
gggrrr.... yeah... my installation is totally screwed.

was on Galnet-Miui 10.26 and was tired of the bugs, went to install latest normal miui, (11.26) but it absolutely would not flash... kept saying the file was bad. So after talking to a few people, they said just reflash the latest Galnet build, then once thats completes, install the build im actually wanting over that...

i got the latest Galnet to install, then tried to install the latest miui, but it aborted... so i was like "ok well ill just reboot & let it run for a second and check my messages" ...well that didnt happen! Got passed the samsung screen, then about 90% of the way through the boot-animation & it freezes for a second, then starts the animation over... and repeats endlessly... getting a bit shorter each time...

So i did a battery pull, then tried to 3-finger into recovery... but it wont load... it just sits there on the samsung screen for 30+ seconds... then if i let go, either stays on the samsung screen, or does the boot-anim-loop again!

WTF?

someone help me!

-------------------------------

cant use odin or anything else... im on Ubuntu/Linux.

so windows software will not work for me!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
LOL same thing happened to me, expect tried restoring back to CM7 because i did not like galnet. Same spot as you bud, look in the forum i will never install anything else or something like that, i am in that lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
I would suggest finding someone you know who has a PC so you can use gtg's ult Undbrick. That seems like the easiest thing. Unless you can't get into recovery either?

I flashed from normal miui to galnet and it worked fine. The reason I flashed normal over galnet though was because when I tried flashing galnet from cm7 it would just sit at the boot animation forever and make the annoying boot noise until I pulled the bat...

not sent from an iPhone, but rather from my humongous Infuse which I love and care about dearly with all of my heart (or what's left of it).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
nope... cant get into recovery or anything... like i said, tried 3-finger and it stays stuck at the Samsung screen, or goes into the repetitive boot-anim.

I dont really have access to a windows based machine, as the largest percent of my friends use linux, ubuntu or mac. The few that do have windows, dont really live close to me... so i would like to solve this via ubuntu/linux... if possible?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Best bet is to buy windows seven for a hundred, there will be times in the future (not just android or anything mobile) where you will be thanking yourself for dualboot of both.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
absolutely not. I got rid of windows because i was tired of the bloat, viruses, constant updates, general slowness, total lack of security, issues with flash, not to mention bluescreens when i would try to do things as an admin.

Not to mention i dont have 100 dollars to spare...

Install windows = 40 minutes > reboot > 30 minutes sp1 + other updates > reboot > 40 minutes sp2 + other updates > reboot > 20 min install drivers + other misc

Install Ubuntu/Linux = 20 minutes > reboot > 15 min kernel/core updates + X.org > update Compiz > set display > reboot > enjoy

windows = 2-3 hours for set up to be complete

Ubuntu = 40 minutes or less

-----------------------------------

But this is off topic and so is my response, but i cannot STAND windows... since i got rid of windows almost 2 years ago, this is the 3rd time i can think of that i have actually NEEDED windows for something ... Normally i can always fix android by connecting to the phone via terminal, but since my recovery is dead, i cant get into it...

so if someone has some constructive help... please help!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] rhcp4ever:
I apologize for festivedonkey. He knows you can't get into recovery, but he meant download mode.

You can get into download mode, I guarantee.

Read the instructions on GTG's ultimate unbrick thread in development. It'll work. I promise.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
hmm... since you do not want windows (trust me, I would rather have linux lol) try what rchp said.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] CheesyNutz:
That sucks but I'm wondering wtf people are doing to have these troubles.

I tried going from galnet miui back to a cm7 restore, thats how mine is bricked. I cannot get out of it either. Im bricked lol.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
That fixed it... MANY THANKS to those who helped!

I used my bosses laptop to do everything, since he is "windows guru" ...or so he says...

but im up and running again! ..now once i get MiUi loaded on here, how do i restore my texts/apps?

...well i absolutly NEED the texts (for court) and if im unable to restore the apps, i dont really mind that. i made a FULL backup before i did the flash, so i have a solid backup i can restore from.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
Thanks for the correction, because yes I did mean download mode. Too bad I can't blame that one on autocorrect haha just my own fault. Sorry for any confusion.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
Depending on what program you used for backing up your apps and data, just install it from the market once you are up and running and restore what you need with said program. Be careful when restoring system data though, because it can sometimes cause problems like fc's when switching between ROM's.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Good thing your up, but there are others lol. Did you do anything special to get your phone working again?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
i didnt use any program to back my apps, just a nandroid... Since ive never had an issue like this, i assume that means i cant restore my apps?

-Im going from Galnet-miui, to regular miui... and the nandroid i had was working correctly

nope... just the GTG's Unbrick. Flashed the wrong file tho, so imma have to reflash in the morning for root+recovery.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ryanscool:
Ah luck, how many tries did you have to take to flash back to stock?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
I have always just used titanium backup for restoring my apps and user dictionary when flashing to a new ROM. I make nandroid backups for each new ROM I flash once I get everything loaded on there how I like it. That way if I decide to go back to that particular ROM at any point it's all set up for me.

Since nandroid backups are specific to each ROM, I don't think that you would be able to use your nandroid backup with any other ROM besides the one you made the backup of.

However, if you had very important things on the Galnet miui you could: reflash Galnet, restore your nandroid on Galnet, use titanium to backup your data and apps etc., flash back to regular miui, and then restore your apps and stuff with titanium? On the downside, you could once again run into the same problem that started this thread in the first place if you do something incorrectly. Hope everything works out for your restorations.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
Just one... cant seem to get recovery tho...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jefffeely:
Just as a reminder to those that haven't read the dev forum lately, There is also a java based unbrick that works in linux/mac/windwos and a heimdall package that does the same.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
I tried that & i couldnt get the sources to load correctly on Ubuntu 10.10 :(

looks like the source is out of date since the latest kernel for Meerkat is built from 11.04
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jefffeely:
That is a bummer )= I have only tried on 11.04 and 11.10. 11.10 is very much worth upgrading to btw. I love it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Ph0z3:
i disagee... 11.xx is very clumsy and i dont like the whole "cloud" thing they did with the menus.

sure its quick and all, but i cant deal with the menus... besides, Compiz++ and Beryll dont run well with 11.10
[Samsung Infuse 4G] mrsexypants:
Not sure if you're still having this issue but have you tried doing a sandbox of windows with VMWare or something?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jordan032503:
That happened to me before. Look like you lose the cmw. Try 3e-recovery or you can use odin to return to the original stock rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
Im coming from a captivate, and from what i remember, some roms were brighter than other when i selected auto-brightness.

So far I've tried stock and a few different builds of CM7 and both seem really dim.

Dont get me wrong 80-90% of the time i prefer it this dim, but i find myself just setting the screen on 50% brightness now, and manually changing it to the lowest setting when needed.

Side by side with my captivate, the captivate is much brighter in normal light when on auto. When i make the room dark the captivate responds and goes dim.

Not a huge deal, but im wondering if anyone else notices this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
Nope. If anything I find auto brightness slightly higher. I usually check to make sure it's still on zero in lowlight. Auto in daylight is great (for me)

Sent from my páhhōniē
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] honghsien5:
Yeah. I don't have any problem with it either
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
could there be something wrong with my phone? I find that even with all the lights on in my room, when i go from auto to low brightness, it might even get a little brighter. So the lowest brightness setting is still brighter than auto brightness low in medium light......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Oddly, I found the auto-brightness to be a bit overly bright in most cases. (As well, the display brightness can drain the battery extremely quickly.) I found a thread for the original GSII that details how to modify those auto-brightness values, and made that modification on mine:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235212&highlight=config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues

Now it's perfect (for me.)

If you use cyanogen, the various auto-brightness levels can be adjusted within the phone's "settings."

Take care

Gary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
could this be my problem:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Oh, so you are using cm7. In that case, there are settings in there for.. quite a bit. To be honest, I'm not sure what all of them do or how they work, but if you rename the thread to something like "need help with cyanogen auto-brightness", I'm sure people would come in and try to help.

Take care

Gary
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] PizzaAmerican23:
well i kinda assumed that auto-brightness would be set up already, and no tweaking should be needed.

And for both roms its has been REALLY dark (as dark as it can get most of the time)

Im just worried its a problem with my sensor now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
This exactly. I really wish I could get it to go darker...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
I need to figure out how to drop the min brightness... I never use autobrightness (I just use the slide-across-the-notification-bar shortcut to adjust brightness), but min brightness is too bright. To be honest I only have to take my phone off of min brightness in full sunlight...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
For specific times you want it darker you can use screenfilter. It literally makes the screen darker, and by that I mean your screenshots will turn out darker.

I agree with entropy512. Darker would be better. Hopefully ics really will be android completely 'redesigned' and allow greater system control.

Sent from my páhhōniē
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Kadin:
Yeah I remember a mod someone made (forget if it was for SGS2 or Infuse) that dropped the low brightness by quite a bit. Definitely would use it again if given the option.

And I finally just stuck to auto brightness cause I'm in and out all day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jcracken:
I know one of Siyah kernel's features is that auto brightness is allowed to go lower than Stock lets you, maybe that may be the solution for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] garyd9:
Huh? That's not something controlled by the kernel. This device has an 8 bit value (0-255) for levels of brightness. The minimum setting as provided for by the settings UI is '10'. By modifying xml files embedded in packages, this can be lowered. However, there have been reports that using a value lower than 10 results in a greenish cast to the screen. See the link I posted earlier in this thread. ITS NOT A KERNEL FEATURE.

0 is off. 0xff is full brightness. You can modifying the kernel until your purple, but it's not going to modify the display driver, nor is it going to modify the fact that you can't be any dimmer than off or any brighter than full on.

Next thing I'm going to read is that Siyah's kernel can wash dishes.

+1 for screen filter, it's been one of my most-used apps, as even minimum brightness is ridiculously bright at night.

Here's a link for anyone interested, I HIGHLY recommend it both to have greater control over brightness and save battery (a nice bonus indeed)

Hi, i've been looking around the forums but havent found anything about this. I just purchased a u8800-51 phone, but apparently, there are many simmilar models and not all softwares, custom roms, recovery menus, etc work on all devices.

So, my main question is, what are the different models available and which ones are simmilar or should be capable of using the same roms.

So far i've seen:

- u8800-51

- u8800

- u8800pro

- u8800+

thanks.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] julle131:
u8800-51 is same as impulse 4g (if i remember correcly)

u8800 is the basic phone. Check info from google.

u8800h is same as u8800 only with hspa+ and faster hsupa. can use u8800 rom but lose hspa+(?)

u8800pro has different processor, so it has its own roms.

so only u8800 and u8800h can use same roms.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gonzule:
thanks! great info. Now it will be easier to understand what i can and cannot install on my phone. Thanks!

For the u8800-51 it also comes with HSPA+ (at least in my country) but as far as i know it doesnt have any 4 G capabilities. Maybe its just a name the gave it to make it look cooler.

thanks again!
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] gonzule:
anybody knows if the 8800-51 coan use the same roms as the 8800 or not?? as far as i can see, they are exactly the same phone, only difference is that one has radio and the other one doesnt.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Blefish:
U8800 has an FM radio. Check this thread. It doesn't work on 2.3 unfortunately, but we can confirm U8800 has it.

yes, i know it has the radio but its not working. the problem is that i have an 8800-51, and i want to know if it is safe to install a 8800 rom.

i will loos the FM capability, but that would be all or not?

[Verizon Droid Charge] saint816:
Hi guys,

Kind of a Noob here,

2 days ago i recieved a message on my phone that i have a system update...i know i can't update because i'm rooted. But i keep getting this message over and over again.

I am also running Gummycharged 2.0 and would like to update to 2.1 but i keep getting stuck on the samsung logo.

I have flashed CWM recovery 4008-did the 3 wipes-and reinstalled gc2.0 and then 2.1 but still bootloop.

-Droid Charge

-Gummycharged 2.0

-kernel i have the orange text with the bananna logo...4.008 or something

Any ideas on what i can do with this "System Update" and this "Boot Loop"?

I have searched, read, and tried many things but no luck.

I have re-installed Gummycharged 2.0 about 14 times already and used Odin a few times.

-Any input/help would be great

Thanks in Advance :-)
[Verizon Droid Charge] trparky:
Have you tried ODINing EE4 with the PIT file?
[Verizon Droid Charge] scotttr:
Have you tried factory reset?

My phone kept shuting off at the screen with the gummy logo and the dots until I did the factory reset.
[Verizon Droid Charge] BlackMagicNights:
Because your are using Gummycharged, you will keep getting the OTA System update but will not be able to update the firmware. Ive tried it and researched it for hours until i found out we, Gummycharged users, cant download the update. It sucks because I switched roms for a while and tried it and it seems pretty nice. But I restored back to GummyCharged 2.1 . I will just wait a while and keep up with the threads to see who will make the next best, themed, rommed, rooted, etc. with the new update.

I think Danilo is his name who made an [ALL IN ONE] Rom with the update with an option to have the phone deoxed and debloated or not. BUT, it wasn't theme the way I wanted it to be like my Gummy charged is so thats why I switched back

If you don't care about themes then go and get that ALL IN ONE file. Let me know if you can't find it.
