[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
Hey guys :)

I fixed up my custom kernel mod that is compatible with the device encryption a bit.

backup command now also dumps param.lfs and modem.bin

cwm4 launches - suprise - CWM 4 recovery (cwm5 still launches CWM5)

If you manually mount /data via

bb
mount /dev/mapper/data /data

you can now use CWM to make a backup! (only tested with CWM5, not 4)

However, a restore WILL loose encryption / mess up things a bit as CWM formats and remounts /data - so /data is then NOT encrypted anymore, but the SD card(s) still are.

So the CWM restore is pretty much for emergency restores.

some more smaller fixups

Odin .tar is attached to this post

*lol* ;) I uploaded here instead:

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BongoCZ:
The algorithm used would be nice information, since there can be huge differences - for example my test results from john the ripper here
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
The SGS2 has HW crypto BTW.

Also, the actual crypto support is supposed to be in the kernel, I think, so just check Sammy's sources if you want to peek at it.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Vond:
Works on AT&T SGH-i777

Just to confirm this works on the SGH-i777. I've tested it with the stock UCKH7 and UCKK6 ROMs and ALSO works with SHOStock 1.8.1.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
Had a chance to test it yesterday:

This fully works on the Galaxy S plus I9001! :D

And chances are very good it also does on the original Galaxy S I9000 - but I have yet to try it myself.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xdadroid88:
Any news on this matter?

You can test it with a free microsoft hotmail account.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
So far not, everything behaves as expected, but I'll keep toying around with it until I find something, also re-reading the posts describing the issue.

I still got the Exchange server running I originally set up for researching the whole thing.

Still "a bit" left of the 120 day trial it runns w/o a proper product code.

Bless MS' extensive trial period things.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xdadroid88:
But with a hotmail account you could reproduce the problem within a few minutes.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
OK, I'll try with a hotmail account (that's what you're having the issue with?).

Anything in particular I should take care of or do while setting it up?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] :
apps data backups

hi,

is possible to make apps data backup when using your application?

using titanium backup? or directly copying /data/data/APP-NAME/* to sdcard?

and restore?

thx
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xdadroid88:
Yes and with a German Telekom Account also.

No. For testing only I had only your app active on my factory resetted S2 and everything was fine. But as soon as I configured the hotmail account I got the pop up that after a reboot the decryption will take place.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] xdadroid88:
Were you able to reproduce the problem?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] rschwall:
After a search, I couldn't find an answer to this:

Does this work on the "Samsung Galaxy S II available at T-Mobile" (SGH-T989), which is a very different beast from the Samsung Galaxy S II (I-9000).

(A thousand curses on T-Mobile and Samsung for conspiring in that bit of customer-hostility.)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] HellcatDroid:
After like a million tries, one hotmail and two actual Exchange 2010 ActiveSync accounts added, I was FINALLY able to reproduce it, yes.

It seems - considering device encryption was intended to be exclusively used by the email app - Sammy was a bit lazy.

The encryption gets either directely disabled or enabled by the call to the encryp app, there's no proper policy stacking/checking like with all other policy settings.

What worked 100% fine for me was this:

- first add the email account NOT wanting to encrypt

- then enable encryption using the app

I am still looking for a workaround, though.

Should work, yes.

Just download the free app and try :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Franky24:
to complicated for daily use!

First off: Thank you for the hard work!

Though I am still indifferent if I keep/pay such a solution: The real bad thing about your solution is that I need the same passphrase to encrypt the content (one would want a long and complex passphrase to enter at boot time) and the MUST to use the same passphrase for unlocking the screen (one would like a gesture or at least a very short passphrase). It really sucks to type a 12-letter-passphrase 20 times a day!

That's wrong, it works on the Note (I guess on any device that has Samsung ODE implemented).

Cheers, Franky
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BongoCZ:
I think about upgrading to ICS, will this kernel work with it?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Franky24:
How does ODE work when initiated via Ex2k10?

Hi all,

anyone already experienced the Ex2k10 - ODE iplementation?

- MUST use password for screen lock?

- if so: MUST have the same password for boot and screen lock?

- how long can Exchange be offline befor ODE switches off

- can USB debugging be switched on (that seems forbidden with this solution)

I could set up my own Ex2k10 just to switch on ODE. But is the juice worth the squeeze?

Many thanks!

Franky
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] -Tiz-:
I have a Galaxy S and was hoping for ICS. Unfortunately, the current ICS ROMs do not seem to support encryption.

Is there a custom kernel for the Galaxy S (/w root) that supports Enable Full Device Encryption?

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Kwull:
HellcatDroid, do you know about device encryption in ICS? Does it use hardware acceleration on Samsung Galaxy SII?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] kiniman:
I Want uninstall aplication

Hi, all i have a SG S i9001 with CWM, and i installed this aplication but now i want uninstall to desactivate encriptation and go back to original state, but when i push "Disable device Encryptation" Button, say "No Enabled!" and i try uninstall aplication say "Incorrect uninstalled". What i can to do? Help me please.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CapriAnupam:
The link for this app no longer work. Does anyone know of correct link, or is the app dead now?

Few days ago, I was searching for encrypt apps on Play Store, and I think I had come across this app then. But after a couple of days when I searched again, I cannot locate this app, and the links on the thread do not work too.

Can anyone help?

Or, if someone can provide the apk of this app, will be grateful :).

If anyone knows of a similar app to perform phone encryption, then please share.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] BongoCZ:
I believe that with Android 4+ there is no need for this app, it should be possible to enable encryption in security settings.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] CapriAnupam:
I need the app for my Samsung Galaxy S Plus, for which encryption is not there on the phone. The phone has Android 2.3.6.
[LG Optimus 2x] saphiroth:
Hi friends need u r small help.Recently I have installed CM 7 in my Optimus 2x and found that my external SD card is working,but i cant see the internal SD card..Still the music are working in media player which are in internal SD,but the internal SD card is not showing.......So can anyone please help me and tell me how I can solve the problem?............................................................Thank you

Saphiroth
[LG Optimus 2x] Striatum_bdr:
For God's sake haven't you read the full description of cm7?

It had been said thousand times that internal card is mounted as /mnt/emmc.

Please dig around and read some documentation before flashing.
[LG Optimus 2x] thloh85:
Boot up ur phone, remove the SD card (physically, open the back cover and remove it), and reinsert the SD card. Everything should work after that. I notice that this happens only the first time flashing.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Yeah the cm7 rom does it all in a stupid weird way that's why i ditched that rubbish and used a custom stock gingerbread rom, only thing i miss from it is the wiimote compatibility.
[LG Optimus 2x] nundoo:
Actually, for me, that is the single most important feature of CM7. On stock firmware the internal SD-card was quickly becoming cramped with apps, and the 16GB microSD I bought especially for apps was staying empty(except for a few mp3's and camera storage).

For me, the ideal rom would be non-bloatware stock with CM7 sd mounting. Unfortunately no one could help me with mounting sd cards CM7-style on stock.
[LG Optimus 2x] antec123:
nah it's not stupid. default android use the sdcard as primary.

Vold.fstab:

* Vold.fstab is the file that will mount your sdcard(s) you can define in there where you want to mount the sdcard.
Like LG does /sdcard/_ExternalSD <- weird LG table
Like the most on xda do /sdcard/_InternalSD <- our modified weird LG table
or like CM does /emmc and /sdcard <- stock android

[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Still don't like it i prefer the stock method because that what iv got used too and the lg home force closes on cm.

Sinc i flashed it after i was on a stock based rom all my game data was in the wrong place so i just thought screw this.
[Nexus S General] bmt25:
I love the default ICS, but we all know it can be improved, except the appearance lol. but with the performance and sh*t, they can hbe improved and have a better smartphone. while waiting for the fixed official ROM
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
d performance.

its so smooth and quick and browser is fantastic and smooth also....even with flash

This rooms puts GB to shame on terms of performance/smoothness

But yea overtime custom roms will be better than stock

everyone is entitled to their own opinion
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
Probably already debated about this, but my question are 2 specific batteries. The anker 1900mah Battery, or Mugen 1800mah. They're both slim. But I see most people here only talk about the Anker, but nobody mentions the mugen. I bought the mugen supposing it's better quality, but really haven't seen a dramatic increase in my battery life. I probably haven't tuned it properly since I only let it discharge to 10 percent.

Although I need feedback from other users. Is the mugen better than Anker? Is anker better? Or are they almost equal??? Please help.

One more thing, would the 1950 slim Mugen battery for the sensation work for this phone?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Braccoz:
i got the anker but will eventually buy the mugen too. i don't like the anker not having a temp sensor and requiring quite some force to get in.

also, the actual anker's mah is between 1700 and 1800mah so don't be fooled by the claimed 1900
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
You honestly are better getting the Mugen, better quality, its just more money which i didnt have at the moment i bought the ankers.

The sensation battery should work if im not mistaken.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
Ok, guessing isn't convincing me before I buy though :-/
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Well these Ankers are for the sensation. It will fit sorry I didn't sound so sure lol
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
It will fit,, but it doesnt say if its compatible with the mt4gs on their site. Only the 1800mah. But i feel my battery still hasnt kicked in how it should. Im still prepping it though so i'll keep everyone informed. I'll also buy the 1950mah battery as soon as i get paid.

Anybody out there that has bought this battery also that can give feedback???
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Actually I think its neg and pos are switched on that sens. Battery... I think I read in the Anker battery thread, read thru it u will c it
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
No, it's the Evo 3D battery with the switched polarities. The Sensation battery works properly on the MT4GS.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Gotcha thanks
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
I've got both, and as mentioned earlier, you're better off with the Mugen. The Anker is cheap, but it's lacking a temp sensor and you have to force it in... it's not a perfect fit.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
Oki, ordered one ;-)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
ok so it's been a couple days, been tuning the battery and so far its giving me 12 hours and around 20 min before it reaches 9 percent battery life so it is an improvement over stock batteries, just not what I expected. Although I am a heavy user, I'm using a not-so-battery friendly rom (cedde's Mytouch Lite) and it does get me through the day right. plus where I work, signal drops dramatically, must be the building structure, so that probably affects the battery.

Overall I am satisfied with the battery. I'm switching roms and giving some others a try, I'll keep the thread posted for anybody that might be curious on buying this battery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
Well!

It's been a couple days, I already broke in the battery and after many tests, I am impressed =]

At first I wasn't getting the results I expected but after a couple of recharge cycles and battery stat wipes, It's giving me what I paid for.

Being slim batteries of course you're not going to get insane battery life, but they definitely get you through the day without needing an outlet.

I'm a heavy user, I use Whatsapp, Live Profile, Go messenger for facebook, occasional skyping, twitter and of course texting. I make about 5 calls a day and work in a building with poor service. Check my facebook and news every now and then and open pandora for my daily commute. My phone never gives me less than 12 hours everyday. Not to mention I use my phone as a hotspot at home and sometimes at work.

So if you're looking for good quality batteries just to get you through your daily hustle and don't want to add bulk, and don't want to have to be switching batteries everyday (like the ankers!), this is most def the battery to get. It's worth the bucks.:)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
You are talking about the Mugen 1950mah, right?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
No the 1800 mugen.

I'm eager to get my hands on the 1950 ones made for the sensation and try them out on this device.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
Ahh okay. Me too :D Hope it will be shipped soon.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] masterkamon842:
If you ordered them please let me know if it works well and how much battery life you get out of them :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Please refer to everyone's reviews in this thread. :p
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
Well, the battery is for HTC EVO 3D and HTC Sensation. Guess I jumped the gun here because the battery I got isn't working properly. Just a question mark and won't charge. Of course the neg and pos isn't switched. But how about the ones in the middle. Does anyone know anything about them? Switched?

SO DON'T ORDER THE MUGEN 1950mAh BATTERY (HLI-APX515CSL)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
They have such batteries specifically for the MT4GS. I'm waiting on my 3600mAh battery to come in.

Sent via smoke signal.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
Yes he knows, he just tried it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
Guess you are referring to the 1800mAh that is specifically for mt4gs. This one is 1950mAh and didn't work even if we thought it would. I will buy a sensation xe tomorrow just to check the battery with a phone it is supposed to work with.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I wouldn't even go that far. Just compare part numbers for the batteries.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
How would comparing part numbers help us figuring out if the 1950mAh battery for EVO 3D etc. works on mt4gs? First I have to see if the battery is dead on arrival or not. I will also be able to try the original 1720 mAh sensation xe battery on mt4g before i return the sensation xe to the store to get my money back ^^
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Paitor:
ok, confirmed. The 1950mAh Mugen battery I bought works in sensation xe. The 1720mAh original battery doesn't work in mt4gs. Hope I can return it.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] DarkenFable:
My 3600mAh Mugen just came in yesterday, i'll post back in a few days once I get through the initial five days of charging. Just a few things real quick though.

I got it yesterday at about 1:30PM, plugged it in, charged it for 12 hours as recommend until 1:30AM, unplugged it, turned WiFi on, turned Bluetooth on, Turned GPS on, and went to sleep. Woke up at 10:20, phone still at 100%. With the stock battery I could get around 12 hours of very moderate use out of the phone before it would die. And by very moderate I mean some facebooking here and there, texting, taking a few pictures, few phone calls, maybe some GPS.

I'm using RubiX ICS v2.0. Going to flash to v3.1 at some point. I'll keep posting back with updates on how well this battery does.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Blue6IX:
I have a feeling you're going to like it.

I know Siani_8 really likes his, and gets unheard of battery life with it.

When he was uploading my ROM for me ('cause my home 'net connect sucks) I got to hold his device with the Mugen insane-capacity battery in it, and it feels a lot nicer... just seems to finish off the device the way it should be. More comfortable in your hand.

If I didn't like my Trident case so much, i'd get one, but it won't work with the case and i'd rather have that personally - but, lemme say it again - I think you're gonna love the battery.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] DarkenFable:
Yeah first impressions are good. It does make the phone feel complete, and it is a lot easier to hold while texting now. Don't feel like I'm going to break it.

I'm at 1D 14H 29M on battery, have 19% left. Bluetooth, Wireless, Wifi calling, and GPS were on the entire time, and I was playing Zenonia quite a bit. Also was using facebook, email, other games, browsing the web, and took a few photos. The stock battery would have given out a longgggg time ago.

Another thing I notice is there isn't as much heat as there was before. With the stock battery if I used my phone for about 10 minutes it would be super hot to the touch (and thats just with checking facebook or making a phone call.) Played Zenonia for a few hours last night and it was still cool to the touch. Trying to drain it down to 3% so I can plug it in for another 12 hours. I'll post back at the end of the next drain with more.

Edit:

Battery has been off charger for about 24 hours now, still have 76% left. Flashed a new ROM, recovered everything, Facebooking, e-mail, texting, the works. I'll update with more later. Trying to write this because I kind of bought this battery blind, and couldn't find a user experience that was complete. I got my battery on the 11th, and I've only had to charge it once.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] kvnly2:
MUGEN!!!

mugen all the way, the are really good batteries, they are pricy but worth it, you get what you pay for
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] nosuchfile:
Picked up the anker 1900 2-pack and it's working well. Has added a couple extra hours to the stock run-time.

Definitely a must buy when you get a MT4gs (unless you're going for the Mugen!)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
After just three charges in one week, I definitely recommend the Mugen.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] SpaceSpeed:
Having used both Mugen and Anker I honestly like both of them... I use a Mugen as my primary battery and just bought an Anker for backup - it was only $15 with free shipping.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] :
I have the both and ppersonally my anker is just as good I see no need to spend 3x the price on a mugen.

My anker batter still at a 100 percent after 3 hours :)
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] g2uzer:
Did you get your battery from Ebay?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
I got my Ankers off of Amazon and my Mugen off of their website. If I'm stingy with my phone's data, I can squeeze upwards of 28 hours of battery life out of the Mugen and 14 hours out of either Anker.

Delivered via candygram for Mr. Mongo.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] :
no i got my battery from amazon... and i get 20 hours with above average use i go on facebook and facebook messanger, emails , browser via 4g and so on. i et a full day at least ill usually have about 30 percent battery before i do a complete new charge
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] :
Heirs pics
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] g2uzer:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Anker-Exten...ccessories&hash=item336b0adfe6#ht_2687wt_1344

so this battery could be charge with the actual phone its self correct? I cant decide if ANKER 1900mAh or MUGEN 1800mAh :mad::mad:lol i saw that the mugen is 1800mah , but does it really last longer than the 1900mah Anker? yes i know it all depends on how you use it, i never turn data usage off and im a some what heavy user, but i barely or dont make it a full day with the stock battery, i unplug it at 5 am and by 8pm i have to charge it most of the time, my phone is stock btw.

any more feed back please:D THANKS
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
I just received my Anker today so no comments yet, but I wanted to point out that Amazon.ca has the battery selling for cheaper than prices in the USA.

I'm not sure if they'll ship to an American address (even though it's shipped from California), but I thought I'd share my discovery with XDA

1 battery = $10.99 CDN

2 + charger = $19.99 CDN

http://www.amazon.ca/Anker-1900mAh-...ZJMC/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1336596309&sr=8-2
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] bc54:
Nope, won't ship to the U.S. Just fyi.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Went to mugens website to order the 1800mah but their out of stock right now so im kinda bummed, maybe ill just wait till next friday to order it
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] blackknightavalon:
Order the 3600mAh battery. It pays for itself after a few charges.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Im not paying 100 for a battery. Lol thats just way to much, plus i dont like the size of it, the pics looked like it would make it look like a huge brick.

Also i get about 10 hours out of the stock battery before it hit 15% so i would have no use for that huge battery
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] jonnycat26:
Definitely make sure you order it from them, and not from a third party like amazon. My mugen 1800 died after 4 months, and they wouldn't do a warranty replacement because I didn't buy it from them.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Already read that post chief, but thanks for the heads up, thats why im waiting to order it because by the 25th they will bee back in stock. Its sad that you can buy a product and just because you didnt buy direct your screwed out of the warranty.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] MT4GS:
Just to pitch-in: 1500mAh vs 1800/1900mAh isn't much of a difference.

Of course if someone is replacing dead original battery he should go for larger capacity, but don't expect much more life from about 20% bigger battery (in theory if you had 12hrs of usage with stock batt now you will get maybe 14hrs at best)

FWIW: In the past I bought Mugen extended 3000mAh battery for my TyTN II in 2008, and 3200 mAh for my Touch Pro 2 in 2009.

Guess what: TyTN II battery still works in my dad's phone (he still uses his Tilt - it is same as TyTN II just without front cam). Considering how long it already works - 4 years! - it was well worth the ~$100 (with ~$20 for second back cover because he broke it in the meantime).

MT4GS is already thick compared to other phones, so IMO it doesn't really matter if it gains a bit more thickness when using 3600mAh battery. Obviously anyone looking for razor-thin phone wouldn't/shouldn't buy this model in the first place...

Also having heavier and thicker phone in hand feels actually very good (you gotta try it, my dad was laughing at first when I gave him my large Kaiser battery, yet now he love how it feels and calls his phone "the tank")

If I will keep my MT4GS (I just got it) most likely I will buy 3600mAh Mugen battery for it as soon as my original batt starts to flake out...
