Well when i used to do them back in the day for windows mobile we called it a kitchen and you used that particular software to add your apps and etc to cook a rom and you became a chef but i think the politically correct term is dev now. Lol jist poking fun devs :-P

Modaco custom kitchen might help but might just be for the P990 though. If you cant find a kitchen that is specifically for us then its probably out of reach for beginners. I would just nandroid your stock and backup specific apps with titanium.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
thank you!

what's nandroid? is it like doing a system image?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Basically but not quite... It backs up the rom and kernel but third party apps are not. those will have to be redownloaded or re-installed with titanium.

Paid apps will be remembered by google so it will be on your list of bought apps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
Thanks once more.

But isn't this the same as just re-flashing the rom then?

sorry just trying to figure this out since it's first time ive heard of it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Yes and no.. If your rooted and removed system apps or bloatware they wont be included if you hard reset or reflash as you call it.

You should nandroid before you remove anything. Rooting allows you to add or remove mostly anything you don't want
[T-Mobile LG G2x] benyben123:
This is good stuff!!!

So what app would you use to remove the unwanted bloatware???
[T-Mobile LG G2x] fabricatedhero:
Best all purpose would be titanium backup... Grt the paid version to support the dev

Remember if yiu unistall the bloatware like tmo "my account" it won't be there if you hard reset. When in doubt freeze it instead.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lotherius:
Fyi, Modaco kitchen *is* only for the P990, those roms won't work on the P999.

Essentially, you open the update zip, change what you want, put it back together and flash it. From there, anytime you want to do something, just search google/xda for what you want to do and see if you can find instructions. More advanced changes will require you learn things like editing APK files (APK Multi Tool is useful here) or XML and even Smali files. I've even had to have a go at editing SQL files for a couple of things (such as removing the Tracfone homepage and adding locale support).

Really it's an open-ended can of worms :)...

Sometimes the best thing is to modify your EXISTING install instead, if you don't plan on uploading/sharing. You can always make a backup via Nandroid if you mess up that you can restore.

Bought a Dell Streak 7 Wi-Fi from best buy on black Friday. Just got around to opening the thing the other day, i got around to CWM and got it rooted but that's about as far as i get. Now im trying to install apps from the market but when i click the market i get a "no connection" message, i'm 2 feet away from my wireless router.
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Well it means you have no connection. Have you checked your wifi settings on the Streak? Have you tried opening the browser? And last of all, please don't post with vague simple questions. If you want help, do some reading first
[Dell Streak 7] aikon359:
First of all Cdzo, there's no need to be so unhelpful, and if anything a bit rude too.. I can totally understand this persons problem and having suffered the same issue myself I can say that I've done a bit of reading up before coming here to consult with the experts. This is a place for people to help each other out after all.

In regards to this problem, if it helps you help us cdzo, I am fully connected to my wifi router and have full access to the internet, other app stores etc. it just appears that the official Android market keeps saying "no connection" even though we are fully connected.

I have tried restarts, factory resets and am running the totally unmodified honeycomb Dell ROM.

Hope this shines a bit more light on our issues
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
1) first thing I recommend is going to applications and clearing the cache for the market updater

2) clear cache and data for the market app in applications

3) go into wifi and forget the connection

4) restart the streak, once rebooted setup the wifi connection again

5) go to your google talk app and sign in BEFORE going to the market

6) if this doesn't solve your problem then my suggestion would be a factory reset because you have a problem with your "gapps"

Are you logged in the wireless lan? If yes try cdzo72s steps.

And please give more information in the nexts questions ;)
[Dell Streak 7] aikon359:
Hiya Cdzo72.

i just wanted to come back and thank you for your help on this.

i did try everything but to no avail, however, doing the hard reset and following the process again, clearing out the cache, and running google talk first seemed to solve the issue ;-)

you my friend are a lagend ;-)
[Dell Streak 7] cdzo72:
Hate you had to do a factory reset, those always suck... but glad you got up and running again. Word of advice, clear that market cache and market data about once a week so you don't have any trouble with updates and update notifications
[Dell Streak 7] icanhelpyou!:
have u reset it recently?

:confused:

If u have recently reset it than it has reset the time and date therefore it cannot update or know what the newest apps are or display the latest news. To set the date and time correct again go to settings and under it will say date and time, set it there. ;) :p :o :) :D :silly: :laugh: !!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Dell Streak 7] kandrelly:
That solved my problem exactly. I never knew having the time not right would not let me connect to the play store!! Thanks again.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] abushek:
I am using RocketRom and was wondering if there is a way to make touchwiz default screen as number 4 and not 1.

When I press the home button it should go to 4th screen(center) and not 1st screen(left most)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
Except that the wallpaper isnt centered tell me why you want the 4 and not the 1
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RavenY2K3:
I just moved the first tile where tile 4 should be, but I too have struggled to find a way to set 4 as default. Perhaps it's going to need APK manager used on it and start digging around the xml files.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
Since when you can sweep left of the leftmost screen and get to the rightmost screen, setting the default screen to any other number than 1 has lost all practical sense.

P.S. I agree it would be nice to be able to do so anyway but I am not using tricks/mods to set the screen no. 4 as home anymore as I don't need them anymore since "continuous sweep" has been introduced in the latest GalaxyS and GalaxyS2 ROMs (I have a Note now and it's had it from day 1). Only remaining reason would be "cosmetic" but "cosmetically" I personally like it better to have no. 1 screen set as home..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
That was my point too as i said above the only "problem" is the not centered wallpaper, the static photos.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] xdapao3:
Yes, I was just agreeing with you and expanding a bit on the reason why ;)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UntamedDeviance:
Hey, I was wondering if only rooting my phone ( I still have the stock rom ) would prevent my phone from receiving OTA updates? My wife and I bought our phones at the same time, mine was even activated first, and her OTA update, which includes the wifi calling, came tonight, and I haven't seen mine.

So I was just curious if it is still going to come eventually, or if I need to just flash the updated version of the stock rom? Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] clninja:
You will get the update regardless of what rom or recovery or rooted or unrooted.

Now in order to install it ota you need stock rom and stock recovery though. If you rooted and installed cwm recovery then you need to flash stock recovery.

If your rooted. On stock rom. And stock recovery(like I was) then no worries just install away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UntamedDeviance:

Hello all,

I recently purchased betterbatterystats. I've been enjoying great battery life on CleanGB (first time I've gone 24+ hours in a LOOOOONG time).

However, today, I popped in a new battery, and I've had "NotificationService" under partial wakelock for 8.5 hrs now, battery at 14%. It has a count of 3432.

Any clue what is going on? I did disable some programs from startup in AutoStarts, however, I haven't rebooted since I did that.

Thanks for any clues.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeetFace:
Bummer, no clues on this one eh?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
My rough guess is you installed some app that notifies you for something, like Wordfeud or a game that you can play over the net, or possibly a social app like Google + or Facebook that is having trouble syncing. Get Memory Booster Lite, run the task killer, and see what program that has a notification capability keeps reloading itself.

Alright, I just got my GS2 delivered today. I'm coming from a Captivate where I flashed a lot of different ROMs and I'm already ready to dive it with my GS2. I've read the very helpful posts for Root and flashing ROMs but I want to make sure I cover all the backups and stuff I need to do before jumping in (which I didn't do for my Captivate). Can you suggest a checklist of the prep work I need to do before flashing my first ROM? So far I've seen post on the following:

Root

Flashing w/o incrementing counter

Now I see messages on efs and IMEI backup (which I'll need to study up on). Is there anything else I'm missing?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mrmercedes:
all I did was root with Odin and backed up with CWM. Then flashed Unamed Rom. It was that easy...You can use titanium back-up for the rest.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Backing up IMEI is not very critical, but would not be a bad idea. I have only seen one person post about deleted IMEI info. Flashing a rom normally does not touch the efs partition. I have just backed up my efs partition, but only because of the one person who posted recently with an IMEI problem. And I never backed up the efs partition on the captivate, which reminds me I should do that, since my wife now uses that phone.

Some careful individuals would install a ClockworkMod Recovery enabled kernel over the stock kernel, and then do a nandroid backup of the stock rooted system before flashing a full rom.

Since your phone is new, you probably don't have a ton of apps installed, but Titanium Backup for restoring apps and data after a wipe, and SMSBackup to back up your text messages. These can be added after you flash a rom though.

Can't think of anything else.

By the way, the previous poster gave misleading info. You don't root with Odin, and it is actually unnecessary to have root to install a CWM enabled kernel with odin. I think what he meant was that he installed a CWM enabled kernel with Odin, and then used CWM Recovery to install UnNamed rom, which would then give him root. But either way, the two are separate issues. Also, he would have the yellow warning triangle at boot, and an increment on his flash counter.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasvncnt1:
Every time I think I get a grasp on the whole root/flashing/rom thing I read more and get confused.

I just received my GS2 today in the mail. I plan on rooting and flashing UnNamed. Since there is nothing on my phone, is it wise to make a back up first or will it not matter? I mean if something ever happens and I need to go back to stock will I have to have a back up to do it?

So I don't need to root for CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
You don't need a backup unless you have personal modifications you want to save for any reason. You can return to stock with Entropy512's unbrick/return to stock package.

You can install a ClockworkMod Recovery enabled kernel using Odin or Heimdall, but it will increment the flash counter and cause the yellow warning triangle on the boot screen. If you want to install custom software without incrementing the flash counter, then you must root first, and then install a custom kernel by some method other than Odin or Heimdall. That does require root first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BigMc71:
Thanks for the input. In regards to Titanium backup, I have the pro version with about 100 apps Backed up from my cappy. Can I simply restore those to my gs2 without the data or am I asking for problems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I don't have any experience with that. If you are starting from pretty much straight out of the box, you have nothing to lose. I would think you would be ok restoring missing alps with data, but if you try it and out goes bad, lots of fc's etc. then

just wipe data/factory reset and start over. If you've already done lots of customization, you'd have to redo it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfreywald:
I have a question regarding the flash counter. If I rooted via the doomlord method and then install a CWM injected kernel using mobile Odin. Will that keep the counter from incrementing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
yes.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasvncnt1:
Thanks!! I was able to root and flash Unnamed! Loving it! Thanks for all the work and help. Greatly appreciate it.

[HTC Sensation] Dittel:
Have you overwritten for your phone by CM? Or do you use the clean stock software?

HTC sync uses Sence only. So any other software causes to sync absence. The choice to switch on for external drive is performed from system screen (swipe down the highest screen row with notification icons) to tap on USB connection.

When you would like to sync for data with PC you can use for MyPhoneExplorer program (client for phone and PC together).

Can you verify that the drivers aren't the issue? If you don't know how:

-Right click on My Computer

-Click Properties

-In the upper left corner i think should be Device Manager option

-Check is your HTC recognized or not ( is your device listed in Device manager )

if it is and you still have issues then it's not the driver related,

else you will notice a device connected with a yellow triangle with black exclamation point

This is in my experience most likely the problem, if it isn't driver related it's probably something exotic and highly specific in which case i'm unable to help you :confused:

[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
Hey everyone,

Just wanted to learn about your experience with the OB Kernel + ROM GB Mods.

My main interests are OC for games and clean, no useless apps ROMs for extended battery life and better performance.

I am also seeking out ROMs that won't bug the Wi-Fi or any other basic functionality of the device.

I was thinking CM7 or maybe NOVA 8. But I'm a noob so i want to hear some of the more experimented users' opinions.

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
If you need a stable rom, please use nova 8 (froyo)

CM is built from AOSP and has many differences with stock roms. Sure it has more bugs than Nova, another advantage from CM is themes and expanded system settings.

Try it yourself, as long you have clockworkmod recovery you're freely to test CM and Nova which one that suits you.
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
Thanks for the quick reply @lesp4ul.

1.) When the official GB update from LG comes out I must not update if I install NOVA 8 ?

2.) Themes and expanded settings that you say come with CM are not available on NOVA 8 ?

Off-topic: Love your signature pic. Made myself one too, whenever I'll be able to add it to my signature I will. Can't edit my signature now, for reasons i do not fully grasp. :)
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
1. Don't ask for ETA, i don't know dude. Also don't start a thread about it. When the update comes you can upgrade it.

2. Because CM7 is a custom gingerbread build by Team Cyanogen, not based from stock rom. So they can add new features that ordinary rom doesn't have. Try it, nightly #20 and Nova kernel 11c. If you don't like it just flash Nova Rom 8 again.
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
Cool beans. Thanks a lot :) Also, I think you misunderstood me there, I wasn't asking WHEN the update will be here, just IF I can upgrade to it if I have another ROM/Kernel on my OB. :)
[LG Optimus Black] agent205:
Aye, AFAIK if you wanna upgrade to GB (when it's available of course),and you have flashed custom ROM, you should downgrade it to the stock/official so then you can get a notif from the LG Updater if the GB is available

CMIIW

Sent from my heart into yours
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
Basically, If i put the NOVA 8 on my phone now, whenever the GB update will be available i'll have to restore the stock 2.2 Froyo I have on it now, right ?
[LG Optimus Black] Irochk:
That's it
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
Bottom line:

-I'll try both NOVA 8 & CM7 nightly #20 w/ nova kernel 11c

-see which one I like best

-that's 'bout it

All good ? :D
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
Oh sorry, btw you're good to go. Backup your contacts and data first.
[LG Optimus Black] PinkPantherRO:
Hey, another question about the replacement of ROMs. Is it wise to back-up my phone using Titanium so that more data than just the contacts and messages are saved ?

What I'm asking here is: does Titanium also back-up settings and preferences in apps ? Or the installed apps ? I have never used it before and can't really figure this one out by their description on the market...
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
titanium backs up EVERYTHING. ur apps (stock+installed and their progress), settings and customizations. to sum it up, titanium backup will backup every single bit of ur phone as an image. hope i helped
[LG Optimus Black] lesp4ul:
But i not recommended you to use titanium backup, especially you are migrating to a different rom like CM7, titanium will mess up your OS. use appmonster to backup your apps to sdcard and manually export your contacts to sdcard, also you can backup your sms with go sms.

I suggest you to use nandroid backup if you wanna revert to your original state.
