please help

i tried to install ubuntu, and that was the read me file:

what is this?

An ubuntu 10.10 maverick (with LXDE window manager) machine in your pocket. Perfectly usable from the phone itself using a VNC client, this allows you to install any ubuntu software onto your phone and have it with you always. Coupled with the (potential) ability for your phone to be hooked up to a television with TV Out (works with the Nokia TV Out cable available on eBay), and for (supposedly any) HID-compliant bluetooth keyboard and mouse to be linked up to the phone (requires Android 2.2), this really does become a PC in your pocket.

Requirements:

- android phone

- superuser + busybox

Included:

- 3.5GB virtual machine image (ubuntu.img) with ubuntu and certain applications pre-installed (listed below). The image is resizable with uec-resize-image, although FAT32 (the most likely format of your SD Card) has a maximum file size of <4GB.

- A script to boot into ubuntu from android (ubuntu.sh)

- A script to start the VNC Server and other startup commands. This is contained within the ubuntu.img file at /root/init.sh, accessible and modifiable once ubuntu.img has successfully booted.

How to boot:

- Place ubuntu.sh and ubuntu.img in the same directory in your SD storage.

- Enter a terminal and enter 'su' to become a superuser (root).

- Navigate to the directory where you placed the files (e.g. "cd /sdcard/external_sd/ubuntu").

- Execute the script by typing "sh ubuntu.sh".

Tip: Some android terminal emulators (e.g. better terminal) allow you to specify an initial command that is run as soon as you launch the application. Multiple initial commands can be defined by pressing return between each command when you define it, so for example the initial command:

su <return>

cd /sdcard/external_sd/ubuntu <return>

sh ubuntu.sh <return>

after a hour without respons i rebooted the device, and the hole system was down. i got stock with the logo. so i formatted the hole directories via cwm and isntalled stock rom upgraded to 3.2 and it gave me the error i wrote earlier every time i had a sdcard inside.

so i downgraded (via fresh install) to 3/1 and somehow succeeded to instal timat 3.2 but with the same sdcard problem.

cmw does not recognie the sd card also. can it be that i have to creat a directory or something like that?

please help
[Xoom General] okantomi:
Your problem is beyond the scope of my understanding. I know someone can probably help you, but I've never seen that exact issue before.

Good luck!
[Sony Tablet S] colint3:
Can't see the removable sd card when attached to pc via usb. Is this a feature (or should I say non-feature) of the sSony S tablet. Or am I doing something wrong.

Can i use battery calibration, juice defender and battery indicator at the same time does it help to keep my battery last longer? What if i restored to its original firmware instead of using cynamogen does the battery will last longer?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] adeklipse:
Battery calibration/calibrator is just a handy interface to delete the batterystats.bin (or something like that) in the Android system. It doesn't run in the background like JuiceDefender.

It will make your battery last longer only if the problem is miscalibration. It's recommended to run this app after flashing a new ROM.

JuiceDefender is an app to control your wireless connectivity; the main use of it is to disable mobile data, wifi, GPS and Bluetooth when your device is asleep i.e. when the screen is blank. It will save your battery, but I don't recommend you use it if you rely on push notifications on email and IM clients such as GMail or WhatsApp.

Battery Indicator is a too generic term. I suppose it just indicates battery percentage and how much time you have left. No battery saving whatsoever, AFAIK.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Prawesome:
Batttery Calibrator is not a battery saving app,it calibrates your battery,adeklipse has given you better info on that.

Juice defender could also slow down your phone.I got tired of it and uninstalled it
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] philipxtian18:
thanks so i must flash a firmware and after that i will run the battery calibration after it will get full cgarge?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
So I ordered this phone, it's sitting here in the box...I am coming from the Vibrant...**** gps and now no 911 calls on 2.3/cm7/miui...

Was on monthly contract expired...signed 2yr to get this phone at 333 overnighted+tax...haven't opened it yet..I guess as soon as I do, I actually sign the contract?

Only thing is I'm not too happy about spending money on a phone that has basically only 2 roms available both stock looking GB...I am so used to the beautiful look of miui, not to mention the built in backup that has failed 0 times...its so flawless, anytime I flashed a new miui variant, it took 5 minutes to get all my apps/settings/alarm back to what it was...lockscreen music controls...custom boot animations, status bars...well everything...

Reason I am debating is, when I got the vibrant home a few weeks after it came out there was like a hundred roms available...here..not the case...and I am not writing this as any kind of a knock against the devs that ARE actually working on this phone, so please don't take it that way. I just want to be sure that there are things to come for this phone. The vibrant was a horrible experience as far as updates and Sources from samsung...already I see the ATT ver of this has ICS...again ALREADY t-mo's phone is behind...will this trend continue?

Thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zender2k:
You don't deserve this phone. Send it back. Now!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jjday7:
I agree. I think you should just go ahead and ship it to me and ill open it. Sound good?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DensoYamaha41:
Send it back. You don't appreciate the phone or the devs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
Did u read the whole post...I specifically said this is no way a knock on the devs that ARE actually dev. for the device...sorry If i came across bad, but I was looking for feedback from someone who has something constructive to say to my specific situation...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] essdiddy:
Send it back and put the 333 and your time into learning some of this and then you won't have to wait...you could contribute.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
Is this phone going to have all the devs and rom's the vibrant had? Maybe not. A lot of people supported the vibrant and there were not as many phone choices. Android phones have expanded with more choices so the devs are more spread out. Does this phone have good roms? Yes, yes it does. And I bet more to come. Should you open your phone? Probably not since usually every time someone post something like this they turn out to be rom and dev bashers and trolls. Trade it for an amaze if your in doubt. Or appreciate what is here and have fun.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrcojocaru:
First of all guyz, lay off.. He's not being a mcdouche he's just really worried!

I was too bro.. I came to this phone from the nexus s and at first I was like.. Wtf?? 4 roms? No ics? This was about 2 weeks ago. After spending some time with beastmod though, there is no more looking back.. It's beautiful, blazing fast.. Battery will rape the galaxy s battery.

Keep in mind that this phone is only a few months old so things will pick up. There is a cm9 in the works and an miui rom as well... Unless you have way to get a galaxy nexus, this is the phone to have.. Do yourself a favor and open that box!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:
Your contract and buyers remorse period starts when fedex/ups drops it at your door not when you open your phone.

Actually on tmobile USA you can return the phone within 14 days of getting it

Edit: even if you open it up believe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MeatyCoins:
Coming from the Evo 3D forums to here all I see are POS's and rude people.

But to be honest I would wait until you can get it for cheaper if you really really want it.

$333 is A LOT, they had the whiter version for $99 on contract a day or two ago.

As for the dev for the phone it gets better, when I got the GSM e3d it had nothing....after a month it had a great amount of tweaks and roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jessejames111981:
look, if you are on t-mobile you basically have two options unless you want to buy a gsm unlocked phone such as the nexus. Amaze or GSII neither have ICS. We have a cm dev with an alpha cm7 and is working on cm9. Does amaze have that? I prefer sense over touchwiz but use go launcher and don't see much touchwiz anyway. How many roms do you need? I had an evo 4g before this which has a crapload of roms but really you had sense, aosp cm based, miui.

You can wait for the next phone but when will that be? next month? spring? summer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
Thx...glad u actually read what I wrote...to say I don't appreciate the development team is bull****...again I've had the vibrant for a long time and have had every rom u can imagine ....so to say I don't appreciate the devs is ignorant...I am aware thing will pick up...I was mainly worried that sources will come out for every carrier but tmo like on the vibrant and ill be stick with non working parts of the phone due to the tmo Samsung practice of doing business....thanks guys ill opener er up...sure ill love it...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
There's actually 4.5 roms here, you have stock(and the updated stock), cm7, juggernaut, beastmod, and a half working miui build.

On the nexus s you have vanilla android, cm7(vanilla android though it's definitely the best vanilla android), ICS(vanilla android) and miui.

Looks fairly even to me...any touchwiz roms on the Nexus S? Where's the real variety?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrcojocaru:
Yeah there are some drama dudes in here for sure! I understand your concerns.. But I'm not aware of any phones with a better combination of good support and hardware Besides that blasted nexus.. Don't know why it's only on Vaerizon.

Btw, I noticed you live in kent.. Is that kent, wa?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hunterjay7:
You should leave it in the box until it becomes valueless
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrcojocaru:
I just checked and they have almost 10 just on the first page. They have ics and a full miui rom.. So that's hardly even
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zender2k:
Yup. There are some "drama " dudes. Like the OP. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
Well, I think you should return it, i wish i could return mine ( bought a month ago, $570)

for monthly4g $30 plan. First because the screen and lines really piss me off, and i think me buying a vibrant would of have been a better choice and upgrading my pc with the rest of the money. I'm 15 so $570 was alot of savings. If you work i guess buying it off contract and getting monthly4g wouldnt be much a loss as you would have no contract.

Also, the roms here piss me off to, and accessories available and how the colors, build quality is higher on my old $200 prepaid phone.

Edit: Also, coming from the Optimus V roms, I had alot more roms and even miui on there, just stock upgraded here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheBoldImperator:
Hey, guys. He was looking for opinions, not a lynch mob. Stop going on the offensive because some people have the gall to give a little criticism toward the phone you have - it makes the community seem worse in everyone else's eye. This isn't 4chan, and there's no need for such rude behavior.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j0hnZ:
All regurgitated vanilla android roms with no real differences. Some are regurgitated CM7 roms, one is just a nightly with a kernel. Ya...I still have my Nexus S, in my junk drawer with my MT3G. I gave my Vibrant to a friend cause it had more support than the Nexus S.

We have theme's here too, but we don't list them as roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ChauncyG:

If you are having screen issues why not return it for a warranty exchange?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ryan562:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Penguin Soldier:
Like another before wrote...

For T-Mobile we only have 3 choices for top end phones. Galaxy S2, HTC Amaze, and Galaxy Nexus if you can afford it.

I have the galaxy s2 and I don't look back. I really like this phone after I put in a custom rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] audscott:
From my perspective, that's two phones. The Nexus does not have external SD support, which is a now way for me.

Sure lots of asses on this forum, and you know who you are. I spent the last two years on the HD2 forum. When it started there was nothing. Within 3 months several good devs and by 6 months very cool. Now you can't go a day without a new release, mostly cosmetics of course, but it's **** loads more than I can do.

I wasn't nervous about getting the phone. It was time to move on, the specs are nice and I pulled the trigger ($499 worth).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
Yup yup...good to see there are ppl left who read and respond accordingly ....I actually do not know the meaning of the word troll as it pertains to xda but I'm starting to lean towards the a holes that responded with negative **** by probably reading a couple words from the original post like I was attacking someone ...

Anyway ....thanks again you guys ...got a virus to kill off a friends laptop then its on! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] unlvmike:
Yeah, I would just ignore the kids trolling, they just have nothing else to do and the more you respond, the more they bug. So don't feed them.

I too was a bit concerned about development, but it is being worked on. And I believe we will have some good stuff beginning new year or sooner. I love the phone and the way I look at it is like this. ONLY 2 phones have ICS right now and both are nexus phones. Everyone else has the same gingerbread roms and its all about the quality of the roms and Juggernaut is stable and quick. Quality over quality any day. Trust me you'll love the phone, but I do think you paid too much for it.

There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] accordex:
How so? It was 279 plus tax and overnight ...also it was charged to my bill vs. Having to put a down payment ....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joser24:
I say keep it. I remember the vibrant days... Horrible maintenance updates on tmobile and Samsungs part. But since I got this phone... There has already been 1 update. You didn't see that on the vibrant.

I think Samsung is putting so much work because they want to stay uptop. They NOW recognize that developers make that money for those enthusiasts (us) and now they are trying to push the market to the top. They wouldn't be releasing source code or care for you to report a bug if they didn't want to Help.

As for the ROMS.. I truly believe there are no others because the ones available are just amazing. Coming from the g2x on cm7 and fauxs kernel it was smooth and fast. But when I got this I didn't think it could get better. I can just imagine CM9. It's gonna be like slapping twin turbos on this *****.

Just remember. You work hard to Spend on what you desire. This is your galaxy at the palm of your hand that controls your everyday life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
C'mon man seriously you just received the phone, right? So, yesterday (or whenever) you didn't check the forums to see how many ROMs there were, but you did just now before you decide if you'll open the box?

If that was such a big concern, why did you check *after* you asked them to send it to you?

Sigh..

Even if they lack of update, your phone will work the same.. Mainly is UI upgrade.. Who cares, theme it.. Edit the build to say 4.0 if you have to

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DensoYamaha41:
Exactly, if he would have taken the time to look in the development forum instead of complaining and saying there are only 2 roms and no miui builds; people would think he had respect for the devs.

With the roms available and with Go Locker, Go Launcher, or ADW Lanucher you can pretty much do anything you want with the phone.

My 14 days ran out, and idk if i can exchange it after the 14 days. If i can, what if i get a worse one? Mine has a alot of lines in all grey colors either i have 20% brightness or 100%, its still there :(...

Can somebody test if Zedge has lines all over the app?

Also, i forgot to mention im a Monthly4G costumer, not on contract, so i doubt they will replace it after 14 days.

Hi,

I have a telus galaxy SII X and my kids play on it and changed the screen password. I am not able to get in, I have tried to use ODIN and re-flash the default telus ROM SGH-T989D_TLS_T989DTLKJ3, but it always comes up with the screen password.

Is there a way to completely wipe it as I am not able to get into the phone. Any suggestions how I could bypass the password and if not I am willing to competely wipe/reset it to factory default.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cheols46:
You may want to get into recovery mode and wipe the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kenvan19:
I'm a bit baffled because ODIN completely re-writes all of the firmware and software. There should be no way that it persists through ODIN. Now, the only suggestion I can offer would be to wipe your SD-card, do a factory data reset in CWM and then ODIN again. If that doesn't work then there is something seriously screwed up because that will mean that you have wiped literally all the memory on the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrx2011:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrx2011:
First of all I appologise for the delay in responding.

I find it insulting that someone would say i stole the phone without any cause. I had grave shift work and did not get round to trying out the suggested fixes.

No it does not work for me. I am new to this, I have been using ODIN3 v1.85 and it sees the phone no problem, i use the PDA option to push the reovery.tar, which successfully does it stuff and reboots the phone and takes me back to the login screen. After this I do not know what to do, I press the power and volume down button and it takes me to the download ODIN screen again, but i do not see any options to install rom.

I read somewhere that after flashing the recovery.tar, I need to flash the clockworkmod.tar to get the option to install rom. This is the part that does not work for me, if I use ODIN3 v1.85 to flash the phone gives me firmware mismatch error, connect to Kies to recover firmware. I have to flash the recovery.tar to get rid of the firmware error message.

I also tried to use another ODIN multi downloader v4.28, but this one does not even see the phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Mrx2011:
I want to thank everyone who provided very useful help especially blue1k, the guide was awesome, really great for a new guy like me. I guess the whole problem was that I didn't know the difference between download and recovery mode. Most of the information on the net shows you how to get to download mode, but not how to get to recovery mode, especially the key combo needed to get there.

I finally got into recovery mode using the guide and reset/clean cache and then used ODIN to flash the telus ROM and it worked.

Once again, I would like to thank members of this forum, you guys are truly very talented; I had been very frustrated for over 3 weeks googling and just could not find clear cut instructions.
