Mine started working, so who knows.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] opencipher:
Make sure your network mode is on HSPA..though I'm not sure if that is a ROM specific thing. Mine stopped working, but I changed my network mode and it came back.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aissamkoukou:
is switching from a rom to an other many times harmful to the Ace 5830?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] slaid480:
no i don't think so, just do a Full wipe before and don't forget it to calibrate your battery

Press the thanks button if I helped
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SuperAce609:
Yeah, I don't think so either. But I still wouldn't do it all those times. Don't want my Ace feeling like a rom whore.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] 123r4ka456:
theoretically - no

practically - yes

just like any other type of memory

too much write can damage it.....

ODIN will warn you after flashing 5 times in a day but with CWM it is safe only if you take all precautions such as wiping /system for cm7

Hello guys, just got a new Nexus S I9023, from this seller

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004USPRM4

But, they said it would be a UMTS 850Mhz frecuency phone, and turned out to be UMTS 900.....:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Im familiar with rooting android phones and custom recoveries, but im new with samsung devices, so I ask

Is it possible to change the radio/baseband of my I9023 for a I9020T which is the proper frecuency I need?

Very much thanks in advance fellas.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmantovani:
As far as I know, you can't, sorry :/ I believe this is a hardware setting.

Not 100% sure, though.

Good Luck.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Radio bands are hardware based. You can't change your bands via software.

You can change your baseband radio, but that won't change bands.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EdWRX:
Oh well.... just what I hoped for, I hope the amazon vendor knows the mess they did.

Sadly, Its hard for me to return it, since I live in Venezuela. Guess Ill sell it, theres a carrier here that supports 900mhz

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] munky-head:
Hello guys!

I am actually one of the few that enjoys Samsung's SNS thingy - I open up a contact and see their Facebook status and whatnot.

I also change ROMs often, and I end up reinstalling or restoring all the SNS components, which forces me to re-join contacts, manually delete duplicate birthdays and whatnot.

Is there a replacement you know of? I mean, an independent contacts app which syncs to Google and Facebook (and possibly Twitter, LinkedIn) and does the contact management externally? That way, whenever I install a new ROM, I will just restore this app and have my contacts as they should.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] lakshmideepak.gaddipati:
contactapp did u chk this?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] munky-head:
I tried googling it but didn't find any. Can you post the market link?

I am trying to replace the stock contact app altogether - it may sync with Google, but I want it to be rom-independent. Like Dolphin to browsers and GoSMS to messages.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] haasgo:
Have a look at this:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.contapps.android
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] munky-head:
It doesn't help, and I even bought it...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] munky-head:
No solutions, eh?...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] chris5304:
contacts by contapps ltd (search contapps) in the market.

SmartR contacts beta by Xobni in the market.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] munky-head:
Tried them both. They both don't help as they just display the existing contacts - so I am still required to use Samsung's SNS to sync the Facebook data. My point is to stop using SNS but remain with the same functionality.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] munky-head:
I'm giving up :(

Probably forfeit the need to use the SNS features.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ameiurus:
A couple days ago I pulled the trigger and purchased one of these since it doesn't look like the Note is coming to ATT. I use GoLauncher EX and change rows/columns to 8 each. On my Galaxy Tab 8.9 and my old Streak everything was dandy; all the icons and Widgets resized appropriately. But with this Skyrocket, the icons and Widgets do not resize. It just cuts off the graphics that's outside the allotted space. Where's the setting(s) to allow the graphics to resize appropriately????
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Uncle Irish:
Try the Go launcher settings to resize widgets, maybe stretch to fit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ameiurus:
Tried that. It's not a Go Launcher issue. Same thing with Launcher Pro & ADW.Launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] CZ Eddie:
4x4 resizes fine for me. I tried 8x8 and it looked like crap. Icons were all broken up.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
You're going to pay about the same price no matter who you order from. Even from Canada. Your other priority is who and how your warranty will be handled depending on who you buy from. You found the cheapest already so scratch.if you're itching that bad. I paid a premium to order from expansys in the states. I ended up paying $741 USD.

If it is $650 new in Canada chances are it will be that in USA also. Gotta pay if you wanna play now. Waiting though will probably save close to $100 USD.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Can someone give a laymen definition of what is what?

I think some are kernels, some are modems, and some are updates, but I can't find anywhere describing what is what...

What is the following:

EG30

EG31

EG12

EK02

Maybe just a little history of what is what would help some of the newbies coming online.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
EG30, EG31, and EK02 are all software versions for your phone.

The 1st letter is the year (E=11, F=12, ...)

The 2nd letter is the month of build (A=Jan, ..., G=Jul, ..., K=Nov, L=Dec)

The last 2 #s are the day of month.

The most important parts of these software releases are:

1) modem/radio

2) Kernel

3) ROM

Sprint/Samsung will usually include new versions of all three for each release.

While in theory you could experience incompatibilities mixing and matching different versions of the 3 parts, in practice, so far, it hasn't been an issue. This statement is regarding the stock versions. Sometimes custom kernels can make changes that make mix and matching not work.

EG12 - this is what is stored on the modem partition of the shipped EG30 phone, that partition is UNUSED. Often it is confused for EG30 because when people first pulled the modem from the modem partition, this is what showed up. Later on people realized that was a dormant partition that doesn't reflect the running modem.

EG30 - this is the software version that shipped with the phone Modem/Kernel/ROM. For the longest time we had no true "factory restore" for EG30. We had pulled the EG30 Kernel/ROM from the phone so you could restore to those, but we couldn't pull the EG30 modem (thus you couldn't restore to the EG30 modem). Right around the time of the EK02 release Przekret graciously leaked an EG30 ODIN tar update that include the EG30 Modem/Kernel/ROM.

EG31 - for the longest time we didn't have any way to do a true factory restore. sqush 7 graciously leaked a factory restore that Samsung sent to the maintenance machines at Sprint. At first we thought this was EG30, but after looking at the files we realized there were slight differences. It include the EG31 modem/baseband. It included the EG30-Rev5 Kernel and ROM, which to reduce confusion, we've been referring to as EG31 Kernel and ROM.

EK02 - this is the recently released first official Sprint OTA update for the E4GT. This is the same as the "leaked" EK02 that kingsway8605 obtained a week earlier from Sprint. It has only been released as an OTA patch update. That means it doesn't include the full Modem/Kernel/ROM. It only includes the "differences" from the EG30 release. It is meant to be applied on top of an stock EG30 installation. That is why you must be on truly stock EG30 to apply the EK02 update successfully. Some enterprising folks applied the EK02 update on top of EG30, then pulled the results off the phone to create "full" EK02 updates. Those are floating around and don't require you to be on EG30 (they are also much larger downloads) Caveat is the EK02 modem is still a patch release that must be applied on top of EG30. The modem on the phone is essentially write-only right now. The running modem can't be read or we would have a full EK02 modem pulled.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Foulwx:
From another pretty new guy....Thanks for the excellent explanation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bielinsk:
Yea, excellent info. I must have changed something in my install that is causing the update to fail.

Only thing I can remember doing is deleting skype and manually updating to the beta.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Based on what you wrote in the other post, it doesn't sound like it is something you changed. It is unlikely you would have modified that file and that is the first file being checked by the updater, so the install virtually didn't start at all.

More likely it is something else, possibly running in CWM?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
You need to replace the .png image in the framework-res app of your system. The background image is called something like "semc_background.png" I'm not completely sure about the name.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medo2:
Can i put a transparent one...i mean just a empty .png? And how to locate it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
I found a guide to change the image. Look here. Follow from step 2 to step 5.

At "once it's done go and replace my layout files for framework" just replace the background images with your ones (By the way, there are two bg's actually, semc_bg.png and semc_bright_bg.png <----not sure about the name of this one...again).

I have no idea how the transparent will look on the phone though.

Make a backup with xRecovery first! Just in case you end up in a bootloop.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RMarkwald:
Example: HTC Incredible if you wanna replace images/icons etc, you'd replace the icons with what you wanted in the drawable-hdpi folder. Where does the Flyer running HC pull these icons from by chance?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] lrs421:
Hmm. Maybe one of the devs can chime in but I would try the framework-res or com.htc.resources apk's. From digging around in the framework those are the only two that make sense to me.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Well i just looked in the SystemUI.apk and all the signal bar images and such are in there but they aren't the same icons being used..

But i know things like overscroll are located in the framework-res.apk
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RMarkwald:
Yeah, I know that those icons are inside those apk's, just not sure which folder after the /res folder. I should've been clearer on that one, sorry about that!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] triscuit1983:
If you asking which images your going to edit, it'll be the ones in drawable-mdpi. I've been unable to decompile apks on HC properly, so I haven't really played with theming on HC too much. But the few edits I've done that don't require a decompile, like replacing icons an whatnot, I've done to drawable-mdpi.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
+1

I have attempted to decomplie some apps, mainly the framework to toy around with things like screen annimations and beats audio but I can not get the apk to decompile.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] RMarkwald:
Thanks for the responses guys! I'm looking into making an ICS style theme, gonna be tough!

Some of the icons swapped in drawable-mdpi don't change, so I'm assuming they're in com.htc.resources.apk...

This will be a lot of work to do. I will just have to keep playing with it when time allows.
[HTC Rezound] SquireSCA:
Ok, so here are some questions that I hope to get info on before I waste my time to find that it doesn't accomplish what I want.

I love the way Sense look on this phone. But it does chew up a lot of memory and battery power, even after a proper debloating.

So, how does it compare to Go Launcher in terms of CPU and battery usage? Has anyone actually done any tests to see if you can in fact improve performance and battery life by switching to another launcher?

Also, does running GO Launcher causer Sense to not run, or is it still loaded into memory and sitting there, so that I would then have both Sense and Go Launcher running and taking up memory and processing power, even if the only one you see and interact with is GO?

Or does installing Go and choosing that as the default launcher cause Sense to not load when the phone boots?

I don't want to move to something like Go, only to find that I now have two launchers residing in memory taking up resources.

Thoughts?
[HTC Rezound] nosympathy:
I prefer launcherpro, but regardless, they usually will run lighter than sense. You could always de-sense and then no worry about Rosie running in the background.
