Hi folks,

I've spent a few days looking over the forum and have to say. good work

There don’t seem to be many issues, everyone seems to be getting on in the spirit of XDA.

I'm a firm fan of ‘if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it’ so I'm not going to be flying in making huge changes or swapping things around. this is your forum I'm just here to help keep things nice. if anyone has any ideas of how to improve things in this area - (not XDA as a whole) please drop me a PM, and we’ll put it to a vote. if it’s a good idea I'll change it if i can or I'll push for the changes with the senior team.

While this may be a legacy forum it’s clear there is still a lot of interest and a lot of life in this device still keep up the work and we’ll keep the phone alive I want to start on the right foot so a FEW IMPORTANT REMINDERS

please take the time to read - and for regular users - re-read the forum rules. it’s a good thing to remind yourselves of how we work http://xdaforums.com/announcement.php?f=341

All the rules are important but to focus on a few.

we are here to help and learn. people do make mistakes. I don’t like users being flamed for asking a question. I'd rather we educated and pointed people in the right way to help them for the future. it’s OK to say use search - it’s not OK to abuse people

I also don’t like people putting a lot of work into something and getting flamed either - a lot of the work posted is a work in progress - people share this out of the goodness of their heart and also so they can get positive comments on how to improve. Again it’s not OK to abuse people cos they shared a work in progress.

sharing work - many developers are happy to share their work with others and in some cases one persons work is used as a base by others. - If you want to change someones work and then release it as your own - ASK FOR PERMISSION FIRST AND THEN LINK TO THE ORIGINAL DEV IN YOU RELEASE!!!

don’t post or link to warez - they will be removed.

Please report any issues or concerns to me as soon as you can using the report button or by PM- I'll deal with them.

Thanks

I am using miui 1.12.2 dev edition. I like 2 try a new kernal with oc upto 1.5 ghz and with all new drivers and fixes. Can any body suggest me some? It should be compatible with my current rom. I ask coz i flashed kernel_rafpigna_2r0_OC kernal and my hd2 failed to boot. So i revert back. Pls help me.

send from my hd2 @ miui 1.12.2
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] KILLAH_42:
i think that the tytung kernel will work because most miui roms use them. but you can overclock the cpu only up to 1200 mhz

the other kernels won't work i think because most of them are for sense or cyanogenmod

iam wondering too if there is an kernel which will overclock up to 1500 mhz but i dont think that they will work
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] luba6ky:
You can try with Hier 1.8.5 ... this kernel support 1.5Ghz, but I don't know for sure that this gonna work ... I was using this kernel for Not Sense based rom - it was ok for me

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caryntjen:
Hi I've been using the note for a month and half now. And I like manageing someo f my apps. So a while ago I've issued some problems with Apps on the SD card.

So the issue is when the smartphone is accessing the SD card. Normally the issue can be recreated by moving more than 1 app to SD at the same time. This issue is also returning when installing 2 or more apps at the same time on the SD. When I had this issue I said okay, no problem I'll move my apps to my internal storage. But now with the nice Google 0,10cent deals, it's getting hard not to resist to put some Apps on the SD.

The problem with the issue is that it's rebooting every time. Anyone had any issues? I'm using a class 10 Samsung 32gb miniSD card. Also my note is on stock and update to 2.3.6.

So I was wondering if someone had any idea how to resolve this issue? I've read about the Samsung Galaxy S2 having the same problem. But didn't find a solution yet.

BTW, can anyone explain when the note is saying it has 2GB system storage and 21,2GB USB storage (when I view files on SD) and where can I see my SD storage + why does it still use USB storage when I move a file to SD?

Thank you for your answers, sorry the Galaxy Note is my first Android! But I've enjoying every step of the way :)!

Everyone makes mistakes and everyone deserves help so I tend to take the soft view over issues and try to help. Everyone needs to follow the rules though

I don’t tend to post a lot as I’m a fan of listening first, talking second.

Even though i'll try to keep an eye open i cant spot every issue without help

If you’ve any questions or any issues, drop me a message, (email, Skype etc) . I’ll get back to you as soon as I can. (Please consider things like time zones, work, sleep, Wife & Kids) it’s not always possible to reply immediately.

Does anyone know how to recompile a kernel with added loop device support. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not afraid of getting my hands dirty, i just don't know where to start. I am wanting this so i can install ubuntu on the phone.

Will not let me post links, but a google search of "install ubuntu on android" will give you what i'm looking at.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
The stock kernel has loop device support.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Phonegasm:
Thank you for the quick reply. I guess its something else that is blocking the install. If anyone else is able to get ubuntu running successfully please let me know. I will do the same if i happen to figure it out.

Another thread covering this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=962023

Here is the link to a nice walk-through. All credit goes to Fire314.

Things needed: minimum of atleast 4 gb on your SD or internal memory, a vnc client,

(I use Androidvnc), terminal emulator (jack palevich is a good free one), and download the image from the above link and place on SD card. Follow the rest of his instructions and you should be set.

Just a few things to note: you must "boot" the image in terminal everytime first, it takes 1 to 2 minutes and will not notify you when done, then do not close terminal emulator, open vnc client and follow settings in other post. It seems to run smoothly and it does NOT replace your current rom. Using it on a touchscreen is difficult, but having a Bluetooth mouse, keyboard, and a big screen with a MHL hdmi adapter is very nice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akira.pwr:
Yes, I have done and it works, confirmed stock kernel support loop device. :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfreywald:
I tried to do an ota update and after the download and reboot it comes back with 'update is fail' at the install screen. System then reboots and says the install was interrupted. Would being rooted cause this? All I did was run doom's batch script. I have not changed the kernel or anything else. Should be completely stock still. I even tried to unroot using superoneclick. But it still failed after unrooting. Can anyone throw some suggestions out?

[HTC Desire S] rlzzzz:
Hi all

I just wanted to make this post to make sure I know the exact process before I go ahead with this. Let me give you a little background....

I got a T-Mobile branded Desire S about 8 months ago and left it completely stock, after a while had an OTA update and from then on had constant problems with not receiving txts etc. So I S-offed and rooted with the RevX website and manually updated the radio to the latest version I could find. This fixed all my problems and everything was fine for months but then one day the phone just froze and without reading up too much I just started pressing buttons to reset/pulled the battery etc and ended up killing the phone completely.

Fast forward to now and I've just got a replacement phone but it has the older software on again so I'm not receiving txt messages again. I guess I need to update the radio image again to sort it but was hoping someone could let me know the exact process.

I assume I should use the RevX website again to S-Off/root then install CWM and the updates but which order and which versions should I be installing? I want to get it right up to date with 3.3.5 and sense 3.0 but not one of the custom ROMs.

Really appreciate anyone who takes the time to answer so thanks in advance.
[HTC Desire S] dan-fish:
First of all, please post stuff like this in Q&A. Secondly alpharevx is outdated now. Use revolutionary to S-OFF.

But now I'm confused. Do you want to update the radio and then S-ON again and get the latest update, or install a stock rom?
[HTC Desire S] rlzzzz:
Well ideally I'd like to not need to do anything! but at the moment I don't receive txt messages so I need to get it working. I don't want to use custom roms anyway so just need to upgrade to the latest official version.

If I understand correctly from what I've read I should use revolutionary to s-off then a program to root the phone. Then I could install 4ext and then install one of the 3.3.5 versions that works on a s-off/rooted phone and then finally update the radio to the version that works with 3.3.5?
[HTC Desire S] rlzzzz:
Been reading up a little more and I will be using revolutionary to s-off the phone but should I install the recovery that comes with that? I assume this is CWM? Can I then overwrite it with 4ext if I want to?
[HTC Desire S] dmatik:
Yes, you can.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toninho 3rd:
so... I'm having a problem.

Every time I add new music to my Captivate, it screws up my ringtones. I'm using whoisit lite to manage them, but it is useless. even its backup get screwed up.

I found this thread where the dude has a similar problem, but mine does not go back to default. they all change to a random music. but no one there posted a solution.

so i'm asking it here: how do I fix this? which app do i have to download to make sure my ringtones won't change every time I add new tunes?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apbthe3:
I've had this issue on stock ROMs before as well. It happens because the phone unmounts the sd cards when you put them in mass media mode, so it can't see your custom ringers anymore. I don't know why they get reset sometimes though and not others. Some ROMs did it to me, some didn't, and I don't have a good answer as to the rhyme or reason.

If you're rooted, you can copy your current ringers into system / media / audio / ringtones and they'll stay put (because they won't unmount anymore), but I don't have a great answer for you otherwise.

Does it do it with the stock ringtone picker as well, or just the one you downloaded?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toninho 3rd:
Stock picker have this bug as well. which is why I downloaded whoislite in the first place.

I just downloaded Locale, which handles the contacts ringtones, but does not work with the alarms. but might solve at least 70% of the problem. doing some test right now.

I'm using Andromeda rom, BTW (not sure if its the current or not, tough)
