im thinkin that a rom is the only way to get rid of that carrier IQ. now before you go an brick your phone you need to be aware that the p500 kernel will not work properly with the phoenix/thrive. this is the one you need http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-...-2-08-overclock-cm7-2-3-7-etc-gyro-fixed.html

here is a general list of all posts related to this phone. here you will get the most help as XDA doesnt have a thread for our phones and not very many peeps are going to care much for our problems. as it not being an optimus one.

as for a recomended rom ... CM7 has the best battery life. aside from that you just have to pick one that you like from here.

I use my backup pro. But I also have titanium backup too. I feel like my backup pro is easier and simpler to use. But it seems like more people use titanium backup.

Thoughts, pros / cons on either?
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redneck_666:
Never tried My Backup Pro before. Sounds like I should check into it. Is it relatively new? I know Titanium has been around for quite a while.

The motorola Milestone 2 just got up to six multi touch points thanks to a magic .ko file.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1167665

My question, has it already been ported to the Droid 2? (a device virtually identical with regards to hardware.) I would be spoiled to have even three touch points but six would blow my mind. My biggest reason, I love console emulators and I can get by some control complexities by mapping buttons to my physical keyboard but I can only get so far with the laughable 2 multi touch points that Motorola has given to this device.

I have tried all the steps to the thread in the link hoping that the A955 and A953 are similar enough for that .ko file to work. The terminal emulator told me it could not open the mod. Please help.

Ill try this out tomorrow.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Completely_Clueless:
I'm trying to remove the clock from my status bar without installing ("flashing?") any custom mods.

I know that this has been discussed before, and that there are many threads on the topic already. But I didn't want to necro any old threads, and I've scoured the Internet reading at least two dozen threads (both on this forum and other forums, and doing many Google searches) on doing this. I still can't do it. I'm a complete noob when it comes to Android.

I finally managed to download and install APK Manager v4.9 and APKTools (I don't even know the difference between the two...) and set my PATH variables.

Then I read up on how to decompile. But here's the problem. The threads/tutorials I read all say to edit some smali file located at

smali\com\android\systemui\statusbar\Clock.smali

But after I decompile with APK Manager, I don't see any smali file at all! All I see is what's in the attached image.

How do I edit that which does not exist? Or did I decompile something incorrectly? I've also attached my log file just after I decompiled SystemUI.apk.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Completely_Clueless:
Well instead of looking for smali files, I read that I could accomplish the same thing by editing status_bar.xml. So I did that.

But now I'm having trouble re-compiling using APK Manager. My log file reads

This is what the log looks like after I attempt to recompile and then zipalign.

The strange thing is that if I decompile then immediately recompile without changing anything, I still get the same error "W: Cannot find sources." Furthermore, the SystemUI.apk that is output is much smaller than the original.

What files am I missing, exactly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
I know you said you wanted to avoid flashing anything but I would honestly recommend you consider jkays mods.

You can root your phone with one of chainfires cfroot kernels which are essentially stock with root and CWM.

Then flash the stock jkay theme. Everything at this point will be pretty normal like before.

Now you can use jkay deluxe app to do lots of great things and removing the clock is one of them.

I know it sounds like a lot but trust me everything I've said to do can be done in a few minutes once you have downloaded the various things.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Completely_Clueless:
Thanks for the reply. There are two things that are keeping me from flashing my phone.

I don't know how to do it (yet). I'll probably read up a little on it, but I'm brand new to Android.

I read that flashing a custom ROM will increase a flash counter which will void any warranty. Furthermore, this appears difficult to reverse.

I just figured that if I want to change one small thing I might as well try to decompile/recompile and learn something. But if doing that is really this difficult, then maybe you're right and I will consider installing a custom ROM.

I could really use some expert advice. This stuff makes my eyes roll, haha.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aceofclubs:
The way I suggested is still keeping your stock Rom.

If you want to post the details of your current firmware and phone I am happy to step you through the process.

There are significant benefits to rooting your device but like you said your flash counter may increase so a jig from ebay for a couple of bucks is handy.

To flash a ROM in CWM:

1. Download ROM and move to your SD card

2. Reboot into by either downloading an app or by powering down the phone and then pressing Power and Volume down until you are prompted to wipe phone data. Press power button twice and you will boot into CWM.

3. In CWM make a backup (inside backup and restore menu)

4. After the back up wipe user data, cache, and dalvik (dalvik located in advanced menu)

5. Go to flash a zip --> choose zip --> choose the zip --> Select yes

6. After it flashes go back and wip data, cache, and dalvik again

7. Reboot

8. profit
[LG Revolution] spider021:
I see you over clocked you phone. What app sis you end up using
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I use setcpu. Free for xda users. Plan to buy it after the new year.
[LG Revolution] Ronjoe:
Full instructions, from receiving the phone for the first time to Gingervolt:

1. BEFORE ROOTING, install any OTA updates. (Settings> About phone> Software Update)

2. Root. I used the latest SuperOneClick, with psneuter. (Zergrush doesn't seem to work after updating) Ignore the warning that says psneuter doesn't usually work on devices on 2.3.3+.

3. Use RevoToolkit to install CWM. DO NOT use ROM Manager, as it will leave you unable to leave recovery.

4. Get everything ready for flashing:

4a. Get Gingervolt and put it in your SD card.

4b. Make sure that the device has 4G enabled. (Settings> Wireless & Networks> Mobile networks> System select> Network mode: LTE/CDMA)

5. Reboot into recovery. RevoToolkit has a button for it. You can also hold Power and Volume Down buttons while the device starts up.

6. In CWM recovery, make a backup. (backup and restore> Backup)

7. Wipe user data. (Wipe data/Factory reset)

8. Install Gingervolt. (Install zip from sdcard)

9. Reboot

10. Complete initial setup.

11. ???

12. PROFIT

Enjoy!

[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Is there an sd card in your phone? Dumb question I know but I have to ask.
[LG Revolution] enthusiastt:
lol yea there is an sd card. don't think there's anything wrong with it and it's not an issue of not enough space on the card cause i still have like 14gb of room left on it.
[LG Revolution] Beamer9408:
What are you doing with that anyways I have never heard of anyone using it?
[LG Revolution] enthusiastt:
just trying to back up my current ROM but it won't let me. CWM just says "can't mount /sdcard"
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Are you running the newest cwm? Newest cwm is light blue while the older one is orange. If using the newest one try backing up to internal or external sd card. Whichever one you didn't get the error trying with. If you are using the older version get ahold of the newer version. i think it is around here somewhere. If not maybe someone will upload it for you. I would but I don't have it on my laptop and thats all I have until the beginning of January

Only thing that's swaying me to this phone is the lack of sd slot on the nexus.

[LG Optimus 2x] Mungulz:
As much as I like the optimus, you would be an idiot to not get the galaxy. Where I live, optimus 2x is $300 and nexus $550+.

We will likely not get ICS for a long time.
[LG Optimus 2x] wwewwf996:
He's talking about the Nexus S
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Gaming im pretty sure the o2x wins, as too for media and for the camera so if i were you id choose the o2x with a custom rom its pretty dam good.

The nexus s will probably get the ICS update first but who cares right..... if you care more for the OS and less about features then get that otherwise choose the o2x i haven't regretted my choice 1 bit.
[LG Optimus 2x] hkkp:
go for O2X. I would never consider a phone that has no SD card slot.
[LG Optimus 2x] oleg1981:
o2x for shure. with CM7.2 i like it even more than galaxy nexus. not even talking about nexus s
[LG Optimus 2x] salisbury_steak:
Nexus S with an 18 month old hardware? Yeah, O2X for me too. (No regrets. As long as your willing to flash custom firmware of course.)
[LG Optimus 2x] I.R.Chevy:
If you want raw power and SD (which I do) go for the LG if you want out of the box no tampering go samsung

It seems there is way more availability of roms, kernels, ect I don't regret my choice

Making bad decision's one at a time.
[LG Optimus 2x] komedol:
I had that same problem too when I was about to buy my o2x, and it all came down to this: o2x has faster processor and external sd slot. I have no regret and I am satisfied with my decision to buy o2x, especially considering support of developer community toward o2x. Not to mention: with dual core processor, o2x is capable of handling whatever game available in android market, at least in several years to come.
[LG Optimus 2x] chito41:
O2x better than Nexus S. Is the better quality/price. Merry Christmas
[LG Optimus 2x] I.R.Chevy:
I actually bought a nexus as a present for a teenage girl nice big screen but the resolution is the same so my screen looks better I think its good for blind people tho I guess lol the hardware is just way to good on this phone ( other than the internal memory) but I think its a pretty one sided argument in my eyes

Making bad decision's one at a time.
[LG Optimus 2x] thloh85:
Lovin my O2X, but Nexus S will always get the first hand updates for Android.

Depends on you I guess...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jimbob456:
You should just have to Swipe your hand from the right hand side of the screen to the left
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jimbob456:
Left to right works also, learn something new everyday
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] galaxytab1:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] geonahta:
Coming from iPhone (besides my BB days) this was a natural gesture I tried when I got my note. Still, I usually need a screenshot when I am going to annotate it with my SPen, so button+screen press is my preferred action.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
I can't seam to get the swipe motion to work. Are you guys using one finger? 2, 3, 4? The Palm? right at the middle of the screen? the top? bottom? I tried them all, can't seam to get it to work.

The Lock/Home Button method seams to work on most android devices by default.

You do know that pressing the button on the pen and holding the stylus on the Note will take a screen shot, plus bring up the S-Pen annotation tools right? It would be faster to do it that way rather then save the screen shot, then go to the gallery and annotate the photo after the fact.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
use the side of your hand. Too hard to apply even pressure across the entire screen otherwise.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Spartan2x:
Thanks! So...apparently it works if you run your phone across your abdomen as well...yeah, don't ask.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] katyarevishal:
use the edge of the palm below index finger and slide it from left to right or right to left. It helps applying uniform pressure on ample amount of pixels......

My understanding is that commercial GPS chipsets are restricted to locks above 500 kph (or mph) by the US gubberment. Is it perhaps the GLOSNASS support that is allowing the high speed locking ?

I found the following on another forum talking about ITAR limits that I cannot post a link too as I be a noob:

"Many GPS receivers are restricted in dynamics for military

reasons--dynamics not exceeding--

Dynamics:

Acceleration 4g (39.2 m/s^2)

Motional Jerk 20 m/s^3

Operational limits

Altitude < 18,000 m or velocity < 515 m/s

Either limit may be exceeded but not both (in non-military GPS

receivers).

These restrictions do not apply to the Space Shuttle or LEO satellites

making use of GPS signals. You can always build your own receiver

without restrictions of any kind."
