[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] josh84:
Hey guys, I recently rooted my phone and flashed clockworkmod, I noticed it wasn't working properly when it was only giving me blank screens when I made selections. Well I attempted a nandroid back up from the rom manager app and something strange happened, now I can ONLY boot into the faulty recovery image. As flashing a rom from this image is not an option is there anything I can do to get a rom up and running? I can still boot into download mode if that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karth500:
I had the same problem when I first flashed cwm. The button mappings are changed in the newer cwm. You have to use the soft keys in the bottom of the phone to make selection. Hone button is to select, not the power key.

To fix it, just power off, go back into download mode and flash the cwm kernel again, they did it for me.

A million thanks! Was able to factory reset and solve my issue.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony84:
Hi, I was wondering if there's an app or a setting to avoid some apps as facebook and market to auto-start when data connection or wifi are on.

Anytime I start data, their services are always started by their own.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
Droid wall I think, but why would you want htem to not connect...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony84:
no, I don't want them not to connect, just want to start them manually when needed, not to start by theirself and drain memory. I want ofcourse grant them the internet acces, just want not to start automatically
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
android does not work that way, free memory is wasted memory, it is not like windows. If that memory is need linux kills what is not needed. If you are doing to keep free memory then dont bother...I always want all my memory being used...2.3 rom handle the memory very well and there is no need to manually kill apps or use 3rd party apps to do it like task killers...they are redundant on 2.3+ roms
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony84:
and from the battery draining's point of view?

and if it affects the battery, is there a way to do what I said?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gregbradley:
use juice defender pro, is a paid for app but i think you can restrict connection in that
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tony84:
ok I'll give it a try, thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rahzer77:
Im just wondering if the Google developers responsible for Android ICS are reading all the problems on the forum and maybe scratch the back of their heads with 'W T F'.

Google devs..... pls run to your debug and testing department and hand out some wedgies cause i think some devs have been sleeping on the job.....

Pls correct me if im wrong, but shouldn't Google be on top of this forum and do some overtime on performing some very fast patching?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
You are wrong. I'm correcting you.

Most of the threads are people complaining about subjective things. Screen, battery, etc.

What do you expect on a forum like this after the launch of a high profile phone in which some people payed a lot of money for. People are hypersensitive to every little thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] atiasdudi:
Is there any way to contact Google's dev team? I've searched everywhere..

I have a lot of questions and suggestions that aren't subjective and can really help improving such a great platform.

such as:

gallery scrolling and pinch to zoom - WTF 3 years, blazing fast hardware and its still laggy (they CAN improve this, just go to Google+ on your GN and browse the gallery there.. same images -> iphone like scrolling/pinching..

call log.. if nothing is opened on the GN and the phone/contacts app not cached -> first scroll down lags its really depressing.. cmon google..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fatila:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
They are very busy I'm sure. At best they probably skim the forums now and then.

I would file issues at their official reporting tools as that is the only place it will be assured of serious consideration.

HI GUYS

Are there any updates concerning the 3G version release date
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] JoeyLe:
No, there isn't going to be a 3G version.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xozzx:
Just get a phone with wifi hotspot, saves you having to take out a data only deal for the TF.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bmw-boy:
dammit, I like to have 3G version
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
I know this might be a dumb question, but someone in another thread said u couldn't do that. I was hoping to use my rooted Evo as the wifi hotspots. So I can....?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] delpiero223:
Of course You can, when provider allows it

Gesendet von meinem GT-I9100 mit Tapatalk
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Ok, maybe I am not getting the sarcasm here. But can I use the wifi tether on my rooted Evo to connect to the prime? Or is this a 3g signal and the prime doesn't have the proper hardware/software?

Thanks
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tdrussell:
Nope, you can use it no problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Mcoupe:
Thank you my fellow NoVa....lol

Lol, an Mcoupe posting in a BMW_boy thread....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] scm_crash:
I agree with what others said.

Honestly, no point in having a 3G version, especially if you have an Android.

I use WiFi tethering all the time with my T-mo Sensation. Speeds are ridiculously fast and with the screen turned off on my Sensation, I can tether for about 6-8 hours of CONSTANT use (like watching NetFlix movies) before the battery goes dead.

I like not having to pay an additional fee for something I already have. T-mo doesn't charge you extra for tethering. AT&T and Verizon do. If I had AT&T or Verizon, then I might be more inclined to have a 3G version. I believe both companies charge $20 more a month for the privilege of using something you're already paying for, so for another $10 more you can have it separate from your phone all together. Stupid greedy connection providers.

"The harder your squeeze, the more that slips through your fingers."
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] delpiero223:
You can use it with the Prime, but I think in some contracts the option is disabled by Your provider.

[Verizon Droid Charge] ukrkoz:
OK, here's what happened.

1. I installed Infinity yesterday and right after reboot, after I signed in with my gmail account and went to market to download an app I normally use, phone automagically downloaded all apps I had previously installed and used all the time. All by itself, which was a pleasant surprise. There is one app that I seriously need as is, which is old Tunewiki, as it still has my free lastfm account on it. Took me years to build my station.

2. I had Humble on the phone before. It's OK, but kinda sluggish. Infinity was apparently faster. So, in my wisdom, I played with phone and found that power button also has CWM recovery feature on it.

3. Considering all the prestidigitation one needs to do to put phone into CWM mode with fingers, I "tried out" how it works - and it worked fine, got me into CWM mode in about a minute

4. Cool, so even in more wisdom, I re-booted phone from CWM mode.

5. After reboot, all my favorite apps and all new settings I did in Infinity were gone. It, basically, rebooted to stock Infinity settings.

6. Now, here's interesting thing. Those apps I was missing, showed in apps list, but not highlighted and with little SD card logo next to them. Basically, they showed as "we are on SD card, not installed". Yes, including my old working Tunewiki.

7. I reverted back to Humble from CWM back up. Everything went back to normal, just like it's supposed to.

8. Re-installed Infinity. This time, apps that downloaded themselves and installed themselves did not do it. I lost my old Tunewiki, lastfm free account, and Voodoo Control now says that phone needs to be rooted in order for it to work.

9. I am back to Humble. Everything works fine. Well, except that with Infinity, streaming was much faster and reliable.

10. I want to go back to Infinity, but I want my apps back the way they did it in step 1. Or, have them somehow re-installed from where they are now, which I assume is SD card, based on that logo next to inactive app. I must have old Tunewiki and Voodoo control working, the rest I can download and re-install.

Suggestions, in simple English, please, are appreciated. I am not a developer, please, do not toss "go to TWI, freeze JLK, twick GHV" at me. I am a simple vanilla phone user that was not born with all that wisdom.

Many thanks.
[Verizon Droid Charge] coreysr:
If you read the op of infinity you would see it is a know issue with the old version of cwm download the new cwm and entering wont cause a data wipe. No being rude but this is clearly stated in the infinity rom thread. To save yourself from a headache in the future dont install anything on your phone without atleast reading the opening posts of the dev.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
Go to TWI, freeze JLK, and tweak GHV.
[Verizon Droid Charge] ukrkoz:
How do I go from XXX to this ROM?

The fastest way to go to this ROM from anything is by downloading and flashing the ROM+Kernel on EXT4 package. That will format your partitions to EXT4 and then install the kernel and ROM. Note that this

will wipe

all of your user data in the process, so be sure to backup anything you may want prior to flashing.

Help, I restarted into recovery and lost all of my data!

This is an issue that affects people randomly. My opinion is that you can deal with it for the time being. I recommend using a good backup solution that doesn't involve recovery. I say this because I test ROMs and have had my data wiped hundreds of times due to testing over the past several weeks. If I can deal with resetting everything all the time as the developer, you, as the user, should also be able to make due until a permanent solution can be found.

So I do have a back up, except that it's Humble b/up and I don't know how to restore specific apps from it. CONSTRUCTIVE suggestions?
[Verizon Droid Charge] ukrkoz:
there was a saying back in my 'ol country: saving of a drowning one is the best business of the drowning one himself.

I have just updated to Infinity again, without any problems. But, this time, I updated with short ROM version, one that does not wipe all data and repartition everything.

Basically, all my programs and settings stayed preserved from Humble. All programs I was concerned about stayed untouched, but the rest of the junk is gone, just like I wanted it.

I guess, I can thank to myself for some creative thinking.:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
Hey folks :)

Here I present you my interpretation of KP2 ICS 4.0.1 from Samsung

What's inside:

root

busybox

deodexed

zipaligned

custom DarkyOTA

battery percentage mod

AOSP ICS Launcher

Hacked Stock Kernel (su, bootanimation, init.d, cwm, busybox)

Many apps have been removed (relocated) from system, but you can install any of them through DarkyOTA app that's included ( In General tab use "Install System Apps" to recover any missing apk)

This is not a stable release that you can use daily! there are things that misbehave or do not work at all! Use this to test ICS and play with it, but do not use if you depend on your mobile. I have been missing some calls without my phone even ringing... other than that, Calendar sync does not work and there are small glitches here and there. The biggest problem: those missed calls

Some reported getting kernel panics and FCs, bu I have gone from KL1 to this back and courts at least 10 times without any issues, but again this is just an alpha from Samsung and since 4.0.3 sources are out, we can probably expect more new stuff to come this way.

Flash through CWM

If any issues after flash, reboot to recovery, wipe data and ref lash the ROM.

To remove the red border, Open Dev Tools -> Development Settings and set "StrictMode visual indicator: off" then reboot

Enjoy :)

Nice to see u here Ficeto. Thanks for the ROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluefa1con:
how is battery life?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lennyuk:
is this serious? The rom has been out like an hour.....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] joker20:
camera doesn´t work and usb sharing doesn´t work
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stanmarx:
Looks good.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
is call and camera working?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] freemini:
Don't know about calling, but camera is hit or miss. Mostly broken, but can work.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] bluefa1con:
was meant for the author of the thread not users :o
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
camera works... but you have to wait decent time for Media Scan to finish (and there is no indication anywhere that it's running) and same goes for Gallery

usb sharing? you mean to mount your phone as a drive to your PC? then go to Settings -> More -> USB settings and you'll see the options there ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Lennyuk:
how does that make a difference, KP2 has only been out an hour! you need at least a day to work out how battery is
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ficeto:
it's great, but sometimes some service hangs and your battery get's drained really fast. If you keep track, a reboot fixes it ;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] gh.rohit:
anyone flashed it?? if yes....can you tell me how is your experience with it till now?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] malavan:
calling works
[Galaxy S II Android Development] zainqaiser:

hi, i am not getting any signal.. when trying to make a call, it says mobile network not available. it shows signal intermittently for split of sec ( 2 to 3 times in a minute)

Rest everything is working.

By the way I am on Airtel India.

Please suggest
[Galaxy S II Android Development] BigE:
since this can't be used as my daily ROM I played with it over Sunday, and yes evertyhing is kind of work, but..

1. No access to phone from laptop (PMT driver is not available)

2. my battery was draining a bit fast, but i assumed i will get better after a drain and charge, but to my biggest surprise the phone got 28% drop in 15 minutes, unexplained, after a reboot. Has anyone seen something similar?

3. Had to sweat a bit to get a restore back on the phone. Had to flash another kernel that will show external SD card to be able to restore.

Over all- nice Alpha, but still far from being used more than few hours. Will try next version next weekend..
[Galaxy S II Android Development] braso:
I had a 25% drop in 5 minutes when I re-flashed a 2.3.6 ROM. Funny thing is the phone got down to 20% and back up to about 22% a few times which is something I haven't seen happen before.

I had to re-flash a 2.3.6 ROM then kernel to get access to my nandroid backup.

I don't have the time to do too much tinkering and I need for my phone to last me 10 hours at work without access to a charger, so I'm going to wait until after xmas for a more stable version before I re-flash. I do appreciate the effort though.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] ambuj:
Such good responses are tempting me to try this romantic :-)

This is in my to do list today
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dorilife:
Same here on Claro PR, I've tried every rom on xda, KP1-KP2 and same issue..

Samphones I get full signal, just not 3g.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] moschino_luv:
Lot of bugs on both roms, waiting for better release....
[Galaxy S II Android Development] obdrz:
Tried this ROM last night for good 5 hours, only thing stopping me from use it daily is signal dropping.

Battery is ok, as soon as you stop media running process. CPU freq. works fine plenty of deep sleep, not much overheating.

ICS is really nice, running apps manager with swipe to side to kill, face unlock very fast, will defo use as unlock method in future, like new gmail app.

Overall very good release for alpha, when RIL get fixed, its proper beta ROM.

Thank you Ficeto

When going back to nandroid backup, it will show error .. all I had to do was turn phone off, ON back to recovery and restore back up again. Because this rom has old CWM 4.... when restore starts it only install new CWM 5... that is why it need to restart recovery to work properly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AlexMagik:
for be an alpha, it's already pretty good.

i need to sync with exchange for work, so i need calendar, email, tasks, and somehow calendar is missing, but if we remove this issue, i would say that this ROM is already almost as stable as it needs to be to be used daily, being on my SGS2 for over a day now and the battery lasted impressively long compared to the 2.3.4, 2.3.5 or any custom ROMs.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] stealthj:
Cleared data, wiped cache, formatted system then Flashed with CWM and just get stuck at the initial boot screen....never loads rom,..

tried to go to recovery, clear data/dalvik... nothing...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Dorilife:
What worked for me was complete wipe, then flash once let it boot, it won't go past the Samsung Gt-i1900 splash, hard reboot into recovery and reflash without wiping the 2nd time..

Still no signal though, at least on my end.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] aerofluxx:
Hey guys :)

extreeeeeeem nice rom for "alpha" status...im sooo happy with this and

to fix the calendar sync troubles and go "live" with your rom you can use

this thread:

View Single Post

Just download the calendar.rar and email.rar and install both (all 4 *.apk's)

only really "bug" i found is when you play around with your wlan it dropps the

signal some times and wlan get's stucky >.<

but it's a really gooood port *happy* and hope i can help with this apk's

fluxx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] vukandric:
Guys, just want to be sure. If I want to return to my old ROM after trying this one, I can do it by flashing twice in cwm? Like flashing this one (twice because of different recoveries)? TIA,

Vuk
[Galaxy S II Android Development] obdrz:
Yes, in my case restore nandroid backup,(gives error, but old CWM is back) or flash your old rom 2x. After flashing 1st time, power off, boot to recovery again and you should have original CWM and restore again (this time without error)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] rich345:
i cant use the menu button in the contact so cant import my contacts
[Galaxy S II Android Development] adversario71:
the signal problems seems to desapear when disconnect 3g conection...in gsm mode works normally!!....i think it's a modem trouble...we'll see if some devs can fix this issue asap!!!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] behzad00:
wifi on this rom doesn't work please help me
[Galaxy S II Android Development] braso:
It worked for me when I tested it. If you are toggling it on and off from the notification bar it won't work. You should be able to turn it on through the settings though. If that doesn't work, re-flash the ROM.
