[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Hi all,

This bug has been bugging me for quite a while now, probably since July with whatever ROM version from back then right up to XWKK5 now.

On my dock, I have the usual Phone, Contacts, Go SMS Pro and Applications icons.

However, when I finish using a memory-intensive app (such as my browser) and go back to the launcher's homescreen, it will sometimes reload the homescreen. The issue is that during the reloading, the dock icons will show up as Navigation (Navigon), Linpack, Quadrant and Applications! Once the reloading of the launcher homescreen is done after about 3 seconds, the icons then go back to being Phone, Contacts, Messaging and Applications again.

I noticed that while it is showing Navigation, Linpack and Quadrant icons clicking on them actually opens up that specific app! So it is not an issue of icon appearance but the actual shortcut as well!

Anyone had this problem before? Pics below:

No one has seen this happening before on their SGS2?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jr866gooner:
I only see this when rebooting the phone..for around 2-3 seconds.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Thanks for confirming, at least I am not alone. So far I've managed to avoid it by rearranging the icons in the app drawer. It's weird as to why it would work in that way.

Edit: Didn't work :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prusling:
I see this regularly - different icons that get replaced by the 'real' dock icons after a second or two.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] naddie:
I see this too. It happens a lot for me, and from stock to the newest versions, including leaks and the KK5 ROMs. It happens a lot more for me because of Widgetlocker.

Is there any way to keep TouchWiz Launcher from exiting from memory? I suspect this is why this keeps happening.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suhaimi_86:
Clear TwLauncher

Go to settings> Applications>Manage Applications> All> TW Launcher and click on clear data. TW will reset with stock arrangement of widgets. As for app drawer, everything will be in alphabetical order. If you have any folders, it will be gone. But i think it will fix the problem of the icons rearranging itself.

Happens sometimes to me aswell. I solved by flashing a custom kernel

It seems to have reduced the frequency of reloads, but it still happens.

I've just gotten my Galaxy s II 3 days ago. Its on stock firmware 2.3.3 but I want to upgrade it to 2.3.5 but it's not yet available in my country.

The question is, i've googled alot of guides but all of them are somehow different. In one, you need to tick repartition, while others you dont need to tick. Which one should I choose?

Please guide me through this, I've seen also the guide here but Im not very familiar with the terms and still very much confused.

I just got this phone and I dont want to brick it :))

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakra00:
Im still confused. He says in this thread "All packages below this point have the old bootloader so you can safely reset the binary counter with a Jig. :)

If you've already flashed a full package from elsewhere or updated using KIES and cannot reset your binary counter using the Jig just flash this package in the PDA or Bootloader section of Odin to replace the bootloaders and then you can reset the counter: http://www.multiupload.com/LQQBRQVJUD

Here are the new bootloader tarball if you want to flash them back after resetting your binary counter: http://www.multiupload.com/5LNOCL7KPV"

The firmware I'll be downloading is below that point and will my warranty void? Im not gonna root it. im just gonna upgrade the firmware.

Another question, my country is not present in the firmware lists. Can I download from another country instead? If so, why did he list them as different countries?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
ALL the firmwares he now uploads have the old bootloader, so you don't have to worry about that part of it. The jig just resets the binary flash counter, a.k.a. unofficial flash counter, this will come into play if you decide to root in the future. Starting with 2.3.5 firmwares the counter could no longer be reset with the jig (micro USB resistor).

The countries are the location for which the firmware was released. Assuming you have the international version of the SGSII you'll be fine with any of them; but of course you likely want the latest and "best" firmware. You're not limited to installing a firmware for your country. Research in Q&A to see what the latest firmware release is, and what people think of it. I haven't run a Samsung firmware in a while, so I'm no help there. 2.3.6 is out, some versions are better than others from the minimal reading I've done about 2.3.6

Samsung could theoretically tell you to pound sand if you needed warranty service, although you have an official firmware it's potentially not official for your area. I'm not sure what the likelihood of this is since I like voiding warranties on all my possessions, and don't try to get warranty service after I've done so.

This isn't the whole story, but should get you started.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakra00:
Im so confused. There are 2 download links on the firmware on intratech's guide. Which of them should I choose?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamchaser_161:
very simple

My 2 cents

Type *#1234#

It gives you PDA , phone and CSC details , the PDA details is what uve to look for. Mostly you can find your region in the PDA details unless your phone is locked with a carrier. I think Intratech's guide on that is pretty clear , ul need that firmware only if you want to remove the yellow triangle after root. I dont think it'll be able to update your firmware version , may be am wrong , there are guys here who know stuff much better.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakra00:
Guys, Is there a chance of bricking my phone when flashing a firmware goes wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Yes

Bricking phone 1% chance not being able to recover a bricked phone 1% chance

Flashing without reading following instructions etc 70% chance .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakra00:
Is there a way to unbrick the phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamchaser_161:
honestly , yes

You might end up with a brick slab if you choose the wrong PDA or skip steps , If upgrading and rooting your phone is the priority, here is the idea,

Root the phone first with Chainfire's kernel, his post by itself is fool proof

READ the dev forums to see if you can find a ROM which is close to stock and which is upgraded to 2.3.6.

Thats exactly what I did. I tried Wicked ROM for starters as it was pretty close to stock. Now once you do that you'll get enough courage to do the rest of the stuff.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakra00:
People said you can choose any firmware as long as your phone is the international version
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreamchaser_161:
same chance as that of a bricking the phone

If this is your first android device , I suggest you to read a lot , because for a newbie upgrading or rooting will not be of much use.

The true purpose of upgrading and/or rooting comes into picture when u know what you want to do with your device , if you feel Chainfire's post is a little difficult to understand but still want root , try Superoneclick or DoomLord's tool

Is the KK2 firmware a good to update to?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
KK5 probably better .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shakra00:
How will I know if it's compatible with my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
If you have the International version, any of the firmwares in that thread I linked you to will work.

Edit: sounds like you're unsure if you have the International version. Model = GT-I9100 (rare cases there's a letter after this which still equals International, other cases letter = NOT international).

Go to Settings>About Phone and look at your phone model # and firmware version and report back.

HI

anyone was a noob once including myself. my wife got galaxy s2 in octomber. first thing i recomand to you is to read galaxy threads here at xda. that's how i begun. first noob now flashaholic. if u go down this road you will become like many of us maybe. which is not bad at all. so lets resume for a noob:

1. read xda threads

2. install drivers on pc for galaxy s2- with kies

3. use intratech - xwkk5 original firmware. it's just one file about 600mb. use odin and put this file on pda. no repartition. don't worry about bootloader.

4. put the phone in download mode- connect the cable to pc and make sure u see that odin shows the phone.

5. hit start...:) with no fear.. wait 3-5 minutes and the phone will reboot.

6. don't panic - it will take about 1-2minute for the phone to reboot.

7. thats all- look in setting - about phone- new firmware

then its about rooting, removing bloatware, deodexed, new mods- phone recording, new themes, ics content, browsing everyday xda forum...

good luck.

p.s. - don't be afraid about bricking your phone. look for riff-jtag in your town. for 30$ your phone will live another day:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jermitano:
ive been reading around and have seen you post a lot...if you are afraid to flash yourself then i suggest you wait for the update from kies...people here have been extraordinarily helpful and yet you still ask too many questions as if a lot owe you one...as said before READ READ and READ...if you are unsure then dont even bother much more if you are not even too interested following instructions because you want to ask more that learn yourself...im a bit irritated because we have already answered your questions in other threads with a more detailed answer and still you go your own way...this site is a group help site...if you prefer your way then i suggest you read a lot and watch youtube tutorials...my 2 cents to you

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
I've read the info at SamMobile (related to SamFirmware).

Anyone tried the ROM? From the comments, there are still plenty of bugs...

Edit: Whoever rated this thread 1star is a true moron and a real idiot.

This is a developer site where people do use beta versions.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] knightnz:
There are several threads around here already concerning people using this ROM, so yes, people have used it. General consensus is that it's too unstable for daily use.

I'd be tempted to 1-star this thread as well due to lack of searching on your part.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] interfreak:
Well I'll be nice and respond to you.

I've played around with the XXKP1 ROM and for the most part, it was surprisingly stable.

The default launcher IS quite temperamental, so I installed the Trebuchet launcher and 90% of the FC's disappeared. This launcher is a MUST on these leaked ROMs for the time being.

In order to get the best possible experience with these leaked ROMs you need to:

* Install the Bezke XXKP1/2 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1393569) - Flashable through CWM and is pre-rooted and also has the RIL fixes for 3G data

* Change the default keyboard to the standard Android one as soon as you can one to stop the keyboard FC's.

* Install the Trebuchet launcher (http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=821149&d=1324230099) - and place it in /system/app folder. It should open when you press the home button. Set it as the default launcher.

* Stop the media scanner from running - it's a BIG battery drainer - go to Settings/Applications/Running and stop it there, and also stop the cached process

* Turn off key press sounds and lock screen sounds - having these on causes a continuous partial partial wave lock called 'AudioOut_1' - battery drainer

* Install these Calendar apks (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19448865&postcount=2) in /system/app to get the calendar working. Once in /system/app, click on them both to install them. The Calendar will now work

* If you want to use the Contacts.apk and Phone.apk from the 'vanilla' ICS ROM (instead of the installed TW ones) download those APK's (http://www.multiupload.com/6T0019180O) and put them in /system/app. Don't install the MMS.apk though it will break things!

* Turn off the red border from appearing on some screens by going to the Dev Tools App > Development settings > strictmode visual indicator > put it in OFF MODE - then reboot for this to take effect

Battery life then falls to normal levels. Be aware though that when you connect your phone to your computer to transfer files etc, that a media scan will be run again when you disconnect. You'll have to force stop the media scan again otherwise it will keep running.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skimminstones:
What rom? That's been kept quiet hasn't it? Certainly no info or discussions anywhere on these forums about it :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Everyone will 1-star this because you didn't bother to search before starting a new thread on the same topic!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TECK:
Thanks for the useful post, I'm sure others will appreciate the info.

Are you for real? I've been a forum member on many sites (not to mention developing vBulletin forum software) since forever, I know how to search. Not to mention that the SamMobile post was made today...

Edit: My bad, I apologize. Just found the thread now... it was not on the first page of results when I initially searched and I never look further than a page (like anyone else I guess). Still, rating a thread 1star is really a baby game. Why not just post the link instead? This is a discussion forum where people communicate, not a Nazi camp where the Moron Patrol votes 1's on everything they think is stupid.

Hi All,

Been messing around with the Galaxy Nexus for a few days now and am more and more wanting to find a way to sync full resolution camera shots to the cloud automatically. I was thinking about just using dropbox + dropsync but the 2gb size limit wasnt too desirable for me.

NOW.. the newest version of the google+ app states in the release notes that instant upload now will do it in full resolution. I've tested it a dozen times and all photos are still being resized to the x2048 size.

Anyone have any luck with full sized photo syncing? I'd like to use the google+ app but non-full resolution isnt a viable backup option IMO.

I have a small question, in android you can turn on Mock location so that you can fake the location where u actualy are.

There are applications that can detect that mock location is turned on in android so it blocks some possibilities becouse they want taht you really are on that place.

Is there a possibility that the application can not detect that mock location is turned on?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DocEsq:
After moving from rooted stock I went to Cyanogenmod 7.1 which I really liked but I was having stability issues. I went to Legacy Classic which I find to be fast and stable even though it has Sense.

What I really liked about Cyanogenmod was the lock screen and the horizontal sliders to answer or reject a phone call. Legacy Classic uses the default Slide Down Lock which causes all sorts of problem when I take my phone out of my pocket.

I have been able to disable the SDL with MyLock Utilities and replace with lock screen with LockMenu. I now get the Answer and Decline Buttons as default, which also causes problems when I reach into my pocket to get the phone when it rings.

Is there an app that will give me a horizontal slider to answer the phone, like with Cyanogenmod, or is it possible to easily take whatever program from Cyanognedmod and flash/install it into Legacy Classic? I have my Titanium Backup and nandroid backup of my Cyanogenmod ROM so I can access whatever I need to from it.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

I am using The EVO Classic v0.0.5 - Sense 1.0 Redefined - Ecstatic.

I have not used tibu (Titanium BackUp?) to delete the htclockscreen.apk. Won't that only delete the backup and not what is installed on the phone? Also, what would the default phone screen be then?

If it makes any difference I am using Go Launcher instead of the Sense Launcher or even the default Gingerbread Launcher.

Thanks for any assistance you can give and I look forward to hearing what you have to say once you flash classic

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
No u can use titanium backup to back up and uninstall files including system files I use it to remove all kinds of crap when I'm customizing my rom you can also use a root explorer es explorer is a good free one and navigate to system/data/	app and rename htclockscreen.apk to something like htclockscreen.apk.bak and it will disable it since the phone will no longer recognize it as aa valid apk. I'm not 100% sure since its been a while but the aosp lockscreen mod for classic may have deleted the lockscreen apk anyways but I'd have to double check to be sure I've been trying to port the 3.0 lock and answer decline to 1.0 but it's been an exercise in FC's so far 3.0 and 1.0 frameworks are so different its difficult to mod it to be accepted by 1.0s framework
