[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
OK! I would recommend Checkrom from the Original Development Section. I find it simpler downloading roms etc straight onto my phone then flashing. Just download the xda app from the market and that will allow you to do that. Browser on phone is OK but xda app is best I think. If you use the pc just move the files to your sd card.

Anyway, in the Checkrom OP or in the second post you will find the Kitchen pro app. Download that first. Then, once installed open it and hit the menu soft-key and download the base rom. Flash it from CWM by selecting 'install zip from sd card'. I wold advise to backup your current rom in CWM first. Just reboot into recovery (volume up + power button + home button) and select backup.

After you have installed Checkrom, re-open the kitchen app and download whatever mods etc you want. There are kernals, modems, themes, battery mods and much more. It's a bit like a kid in a lolly shop - there is just so much to try. Just select what you want and click install. It will download to your SD card and install it for you without having to manually reboot into CWM.

Give it a go. I think you'll like it. I will be using it until a stable ICS based Samsung custom rom is released. I don't really like the non-Samsung roms like CM9 or MIUI.

Just a word of warning - flashing is very addictive. Once you pop, you can't stop as they say. You will probably want to flash CM9 after that just to see. That's the beauty of CWM backups. No harm done if you don't like it.

I have no idea how to respond to that, so I'm going to respond by saying that I don't know how to respond.

Never seen an episode of Simpsons. Is it good? Perhaps with all this time in my hands I should get started on pop culture before it leaves me behind.

Well, if that means what I think it means, you should see a medical professional immediately.

I'm already on CheckROM, although usually I find that their (his?) "kitchen" so to speak is usually late with updates compared to going straight to the source.

One thing I can never get around is how non-Samsung ROM doesn't have hardware decoding on media files. Phone gets too warm in my hands without it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Non-samsung roms usually get hot because it takes long to complete media scanning. Once done it cools down though. But they are just not for me.

Another approach would be to check the themes and apps sections for the latest stuff to flash over whatever base you have.

Anyway, like I said flashing is quite addictive. Seems like you have the bug :).

Is that so? What ROM would you have me choose then?

At the risk of repeating myself, I already read a fair bit of said thread, but I was still curious as to the stability and of other's opinions.

And thank you for answering.

I don't understand why we are lacking more support on this phone...one of the best phones on the market...It doesn't make sense!

[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
So verizon got with htc and added the rezound to there htcdev unlock tool. which is def a win for us but from what a friend who used this with his evo3d on sprint just informed me. is that as soon as you use this tool your device esn is red flag by htc then sent to carrier and all insurance coverage is permanently voided. so if you used this tool and have insurance you might as well cancel it.

so now that this tool has hit for our devices. would it be safe to assume that some dev or devs will be working on a method that unlocks the device without flagging your esn or making the bootloader say relocked if you choose to go back to locked and will this make it easier to achieve S-off .

this is just some info i got from one person who has sprint and did this please correct if this is wrong.
[HTC Rezound] con247:
Hopefully not.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Insurance can't be entirely voided. Besides, that is hearsay. Until you can show me that in writing, I don't believe it. I'm sure it voids mechanical problems or software issues but if my phone gets lost... I'm covered. Until you can prove it, everyone needs to just calm down and don't let speculation get out of control.

Sent from my newly unlocked Rezound.. Thank you HTC.
[HTC Rezound] jbh00jh:
Htc/dev has already said when you use the unlocker you void your warranty and any support from htc. And when you use the unlocker You know that info goes to VZW .

Peter Chou said if you use the unlocker you lose your warranty.

[HTC Rezound] zetsumeikuro:
You warranty is voided upon unlocking the bootloader. I really doubt they can just nullify the insurance in which you pay for a replacement.
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
you can think whatever you want im just relaying info from my friend who only found this out because he dropped his 3d and cracked the screen when he went to get it fixed thats what they told him after they said they couldnt fix it idk how it is on verizon i suppose u could ask them but ill bet its the same
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
he had to replace his 3d with best buys black tie also i found all this out because i called him to ask him how hard it was to do on his 3d and he told me not to do it
[HTC Rezound] Sleek69:
This is exactly why I've waited to unlock my device. Not like there's even anything to flash yet.
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
agree i just thought id give a heads up to people who got excited about this maybe help save someone a headache
[HTC Rezound] Evo4gLI:
So just say you lost it. Problem solved.
[HTC Rezound] pstevep:
Your friend was lied to by sprint, or he didn't really have insurance. I am on the 3d and have spoken with numerous sprint employees and know a couple people who unlocked with htc and used the insurance to fix their phone from dropping it and what not. It does void the warranty, but not the insurance. But s-off voids your warranty, always has, this isn't different. HTC states it just like it's been stated by devs over the years, you do this at your own risk.

Trolls, trolls everywhere
[HTC Rezound] tcpsyn:
I don't think there is any douchebaggery here. We void warranties. That's what we do. Buy insurance from an outside source that is willing to accept software modification. Dunno if squaretrade does, but probably.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
Exactly. this needs to be locked/deleted ASAP before people start freaking out over nothing!

Just stop for a second and think about it, you can get your unlock key without actually unlocking your phone right? Right. So from that point you do whatever it is that you do with the key, throw it in a zip file, put it on a storage drive, delete it, whatever really...the only way Verizon or HTC could know that you actually did use the unlock key would be if you foolishly sent it back in a "unlocked" or "relocked" state. Besides would you really think a company would waste the resources or manpower to pass along a "red flag" to your carrier who would then in turn, go through every account associated and adjust coverage or call customers and ask if they used the key, get real. Furthermore "insurance" like Asurion covers for lost/stolen/damage, and has absolutely nothing to do with warranty. The only thing that happens when you use that tool is that you get a unlock .bin file, if you flash it then yes your hardware warranty is technically void(IF someone could prove it), that's it...period.
[HTC Rezound] Vashypooh:
From HTCDev:

It doesn't even void your warranty. It just voids parts of it that could be caused by you being a dumb-ass.

If something breaks non related to something you could have done with an unlocked boot-loader, it cant be taken away. Even more so, Verizon can NOT cancel something and still keep taking money for it with zero notification. It's very, very illegal.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
definitely the truth there
[HTC Rezound] Sax1031:
I don't know a lot about cell phone companies and warranties. If it is anything like car manufacturer warranties, and I have a feeling it is, then by law the company has to prove the "mod"(sorry car slang) caused the failure to deny warranty service. And this is by law.
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
yep, I mean if you change your intake and then you suck up water because the air filter is in the front bumper in a flood, sure it's void, but if your alternator goes bad, it's covered.
[HTC Rezound] brandonkill02:
this is just some info i got from one person who has sprint and did this please correct if this is wrong.

im pretty sure i said that^ in the main post it was just something interesting i thought others should know also it wouldnt shock me if they made you jump through hoops because of this if you did crack the screen and they saw your device was flagged and why couldnt they flag it computers can send and input the date changes automatically its not like our esns are stored in a file cabinet do you think that they wouldnt have a software to make these changes for them ...im not saying this is what happens again this is based on one persons experience that i know personally so idk why your tripping out
[HTC Rezound] PhantomApollyon:
it's nothing personal, but people will just read the thread title and the first post and freak out, because they don't think, that's why the response was a little, harsh :P

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namsu55:
I wiped and cleared everything (cache, SD Card...) from the settings in order to install the new Ice Cream rom which I got working but then wanted to clean everything up. So obviously after doing the formats, it also wiped the zip (icecream). I can access clock work recovery, but it doesn't recognize my USB at all, same machine and cable is fine. I am trying to do it as a USB Mass Storage device but still it cannot recognize it. Any help would me much appreciated.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obsanity:
I'm not sure if you mean SD storage and not USB but you should have never formatted your SD storage.

In clockworkmod recovery there is an option to mount the SD storage. Make sure its mounted and then try activating the USB storage again. This should give you the ability to add a ROM zip file on the SD storage so you can flash it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namsu55:
Thanks for the reply. Basically I am in clockwork recovery mode, I mount the SDCARD, then I go and select the option "mount USB storage". Sometimes I find that it finds Android 1.0 and I see the I: come up but then goes away quite quickly. But most of the time it comes up as unrecognized.

Now I have 2 cables, both which charge the phone fine. I have used one on a BlackBerry and remember it does the job of connecting as a data connection fine. Also have tried my XP laptop, same result.

My feeling is that it may possibly be the actual USB port on the phone that is the problem but I am unsure in this. It never failed to connect when the phone was working properly (in an actual OS).
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
You should update your CWM... 5.0.2.0 is the latest version.

But anyway, you don't need to mount SD card then mount USB storage. Only need to do the latest. Once you do this, unplug and replug the phone, the drive should pop up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namsu55:
When I go into clock work recovery it says USB device Unrecognized. Problem is I don't have anything on the SD I have the ROM on my computer. Whether I go to the mount USB storage menu or not. Unsure what to do?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I imagine you don't have a working adb setup on your computer to update CWM, right?

Boot into CWM with phone plugged in. Go to mount USB storage. If your "SD" isn't recognized, still on that screen, unplug and replug phone. It should get detected then.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namsu55:
Tried this several times keep getting Unknown Device. I installed the SDK with Google Drivers. Unsure if that is the ADB set up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Yes that's the adb setup.

You might need to manually install the drivers for your phone, although this shouldn't impact on the SD mounting capabilities. Just to make sure, I would get a working adb setup and use fastboot to update your Clockworkmod Recovery to 5.0.2.0.

You can follow this to know how to use fastboot

http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Fastboot#Flash_Custom_Recovery.img

If you have trouble getting your phone to be detected and the drivers installed, I suggest you use PDAnet drivers instead (if you're under Windows). Some phones for some reason need .inf driver hacking to get detected.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namsu55:
Just to let you know, I am trying to access USB Storage from clockwork recovery since I don't have any rom on here at all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namsu55:
This may sound weird but I held the USB in the phone port in an angle, luckily the removable drive came up. I got the the ROM on the SD it has installed and loading. I'll see if its an issue with the USB on the phone later on but as long as it got back up and running (Ice Cream) for now.

Anyway thanks guys much appreciated. I'll be a lot more careful next time before I go around wiping everything especially the SD LOL.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
I gathered this much from your posts. ;)

Edit: Glad you got it working. Make sure you get CWM updated whenever you can if you haven't done so, this could lead to problems down the road to flash different zips.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] namsu55:
I'll do that next time I get a chance, I thought my phone was gone there for sure. Thanks again.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroAsc:
I am using a flashed Epic 4G on the Page Plus network. Whenever I have a data connection, the 3G icon appears on my phone. Does this 3G icon refer to true 3G (i.e. EVDO), or does it include 2G speeds (i.e. 1xRTT) as well?

Are there any indicators out there that can distinguish between 2G and 3G data connectivity?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] insanity213:
On the stock framework for Epic they use the 3G icon for 1x and 3G connections. Many custom ROMs/themes have a proper 1x icon in them. Also, you can download Network Info II from the market and it'll show what mode you are in under "Net Type:" about halfway down the screen.

Hmmm...I see no reason this wouldn't work on the latest (ie, he still uses the standard mail.apk). Also, the mail.apk you attached is a fraction of the size, are you sure sonethi.g isn't messed up?
[HTC Rezound] dmoses1969:
The only difference I see is the latest one is not deodexed if that makes a difference.

EDIT: Ok, I finally got to work. Not sure what was going on. I tried several different ways and it kept force closing when trying to open it. This time I deleted the original Mail.apk and Mail.odex, rebooted. Used root explorer and copied yours from the sdcard to system/app and then changed permissions, rebooted again and its working.

Again, thanks for the app.

Oke guys, i think i have to make this thread. Bcz i read some threads and still found someone asking about their multitouch doesnt working.

The problem is about locksreen apps.

At least i found this issue while installing widgetlocker and milocker.

I tested by downloading one by one my apps from market and then check the multitouch, and stop when i installed widgetlocker bcz my multitouch doest works again. (It waste my time in about 3 hours)

So, if you had that multitouch issue you can test by uninstalling your lockscreen apps and then reboot. If it still doesnt works you can just ask to rom or kernel devs.

And for devs or smart people (im stupid one.. yeaaa) i hope you could find how to fix this issue, is unfortunate we cant improve our phone themes by install any lockscreen apps.

Terimakasih.

Bump, for everyone doesnt know..
[HTC EVO 3D] msimindlessmsi2:
I had this issue with widget locker as well.

To fix it, open WidgetLocker and go into the settings>advanced and enable "Retain System Keyguard".

Lock your phone and unlock it. Now try a multitouch tester and it should work fine.

Is it still work after rebooting the phone?? If yes i will install it again..

Oh yea it will work from then on. You just have to lock it once so the changes take effect.
