[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
I don't know if root file explorer is implemented it's own concept of ro/rw to protect you from making mistakes or it is using the system facilities. If it is using the system facilities, then once you remount /system as rw, then everything under /system is automatically rw. It is all the same partition.

I would try it from "adb shell" (do not type $ or # symbols)

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw /system /system
# cd /system/xbin
# chmod 755 busybox

If it lets you do that with no errors, then you have remounted /system/xbin as rw and the problem is with root file explorer. For that, you'd have to check with them or someone more well-versed in why that might be failing.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sedric1:
i appreciate your help

I went off googling the adb stuff/installed it and java's jdk stuff. then figured out how to run that adb shell stuff and validated that it worked (permissions were changed in places that this app didnt allow). knowing that the problem is actually with root explorer helps a ton.. as I just assumed it was working :p
[About XDA developers] wangdeli900:
why the RAM's mount that can be seen by the usrers is much less that the original number that the manufacture tells? can any one give me the answer ?
[About XDA developers] Chubby_Skunk:
1GB is installed but there are always apps or system programs running. Things that run Android use some of that RAM. my Atrix has 1GB, but I can only use 800MB, thats because 200MB is always being used by the OS.

Hey peoples,

Thought here might get some more attention than the specific Galaxy S section.

I've upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich on OneCosmic's port and the phone has been flawless. One downside. I cannot restore contacts SMS/MMS?

I have them saved on SD card contacts.db and mms database files also. I have the complete system from previous ROM and when I use rootexplorer I get errors upon opening the MMS app:confused:

I have reset permissions etc. Still no luck :(

Anyone suggest anything? I could roll back ROMS and then use a backup and restore app. I have tried extracting from CWM backup using (LATEST) Titanium. Nothing works at all.

Has there been any progress on getting the version released by Samsung to run?

I see the released config file is dated Fri Dec 3 13:25:44 2010 while the actual kernel is dated Thu Nov 3 16:13:03 KST 2011.

Who has been contacted at Samsung about releasing the correct source?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
It doesn't compile well. when you try to boot it it hands at the Samsung screen.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timedroid:
Yeah, I tried compiling a kernel (with the stock initramfs) and ran into the same problem.

Has someone contacted Samsung? Have they replied?

I've emailed them, but haven't heard anything back yet.
[Verizon Droid Charge] timedroid:
Is there any way to at least compile new kernel versions?

I can't get the version magic string to match. Right now I'm at "2.6.35.7-EP4+ preempt mod_unload ARMv7"; the "+" isn't there in the stock kernel.

Hey guys, found this on ebay:

I was originally searching for a custom back cover some of the Google employees got.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Ba...ccessories&hash=item3cbda658d5#ht_2449wt_1180

Seller says its "original" (wtf)

Think its worth it/looks nice?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alpha Class:
oh heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell no
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Is that the Verizon one?

I need to learn my different models...

Anyway, a 3rd party back plate may be problematic with the tabs. Probably crappier material and I can see the tabs snapping off.

You could always spray paint it yourself...

Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 CM9

Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
It's for GSM, I'd like to try it actually, but the price is the same of a case from a reputable manufacturer, to pull or not to pull.''

What makes me curious is why it has white logos, instead of something like gray.(full invert of the real battery cover)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Well the prongs all seem to match up.. who's going to pull the trigger?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] aphexjuggalo:
my guess with it saying "original" and having logos same shade as the rest of it is that it is an official back cover from samsung... just painted...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carbonwhiskey:
I'd like a custom backplate too, but that white does not match AT ALL with the rest of the Gnex.

Why would anyone do that? It looks terrible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wonshikee:
Maybe with certain white cases, it'll match up, shrug.

But given the seller's rating, I'd say it's legit - just seems overpriced for a flimsy piece of plastic.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] motorsports601:
Because they're original white because there making the the phone in white already is my guess. I would a got it in white
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 0mie:
That is OEM and has the Google logo like the grey one and the Samsung logo...looks nice on the White Galaxy Nexus, not so much on the Grey one :(

You can't see either logo with the light they have, but it's there :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
it's not original, the original has the serial number engraved at the bottom, whiles this is near the middle on the right hand side, it seems like it was made from the same manufacturer as those metalic silver one that were on sale before in ebay, the connectors were in the wrong place, but this time, the white one has the connectors in the right place, and upto now i haven't hear of any white gnex, so I think why would a white cover surface before the actual phone.

I wont say a white gnex will never be in production in the near future, just that it's strange a cover comes out of nowhere.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
A GSM Galaxy Nexus was hard enough to obtain in the states, now we're talking ablut a white version?

Any case/carbon skin combo this would look nice with? Just want to make my device stand out a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
I had a metalic cover it had both the google and samsung name, it doesn't fit, the pins are in the wrong place, many members also got the one i purchase, and we all got a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
These pins are in the right place though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kms108:
yes they are, but it seems like it was made from the same company, as the engraving of the serial number is in the same place at the middle right, oem ones are at the bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
I'm not really into cases, but would you think a certain color of carbon fiber skin would look nice with this battery door?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
you can just spray paint it if you want. wont harm anything at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appledroid:
Never done this before, I definitely don't want to screw it up and get a bad finish or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sassyness77:
A white battery door, personally I think would look out of place. Now I'm debating on how difficult the phone actually is to dissect, and hoping to wrap the housing in some sort of white vinyl.

Hey all,

Something tells me you need root access in order to do this, but I figured I'd ask in case there's another, possibly simpler way. Is there a way to get push notifications from third party or sideloaded apps, such as facebook, twitter, breaking news apps, etc?

Thanks!

Sent from my Nook Tablet using (((sonicboom)))
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
Well if you side load go launcher there is a app called go launcher ex notifications which enables notifications for like email and stuff. Is that what you are looking for??
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Torrential91:
No =/ it only works for calls, SMS, and gmail. I have a feeling root is needed because on a normal phone with gApps pre-installed, any app from the Market would (normally) send push notifications, and since I'm not rooted yet, I've sideloaded apps such as facebook, facebook messenger, twitter, etc, all which would normally send push notifications.

For example, in fb messenger, when I recieve a message, there's no sound or notification in the notification bar. That's what I want.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m0po:
my international gt-i9000 is constantly rebooting in recovery and download, as well as normal. i was running onecosmic ics and it just started rebooting this morning, so i put it on charge and tried to charge it to fix it, thinking it was relating to low battery...

this didnt work and its still rebooting in recovery and download. i also tried putting on the stock kernel (zImage) through heimdall but that just soft-bricks it, since it reboots during the download process. i did manage to get the kernel back on there but it still just constantly reboots.

pulling the battery stops it.

any ideas on how to fix this? my other phone is a windows 7 phone and isn't as great to use!

Did ever get your sgs2 to work on simple mobile? I'm really hating Tmobile right now, cos they keep changing my payment due dates. Before it was the 30th, then 29th, then 25th, then 21st, and now they changed it again to 19th....

Because of this, i'm really planning on switching to simple Mobile. But, how is it working for you? HSPA+ Data speeds ok? is it capped?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fabricatedhero:
Well simple mobile uses tmo as a network backbone.. Just an fyi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
I've been on simple 2 months now yeah I got it working my sim went bad I had it in my pocket and I guess I did something to it got replacement and everything works well all u have to.do is change the apn but speeds are the same as if.on T-Mobile that's on the 60 dollar plan not sure if 40 one willl work just as fast if it.does I'm paying 20 bucks more for nothing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] babymatteo:
Awesome...so whatever speeds i'm getting right now with tmobile i should be getting as well with Simple.

Another question, does Simple throttle you if you use too much data? I tried to find an answer to their website but couldn't find anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] heygrl:
Simple is far more restrictive of their data usage and you get no roaming.

With Monthly4G you get voice/text roaming but no data roaming. higher data caps too. I would go with Monthly4G
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
Yeah they do but I'm not so.much of a data hog I use less than 2 gigs for a daily use phone its nice I use wifi when ever possible, they throttle after 2gigs , and for 2

Months I haven't had an issue for the price and no contract I like it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I think your right. Simple mobile is just reselling the T-Mobile $60 2gig plan by calling it an unlimited plan. This is technically true, as they don't ever cut off your data, they just throttle it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
Yeah it's 60 straight up, I don't mind it so far good I get good reception and good speed I get service where some of my friends using att don't and I've never dropped a call,

This needs to be enabled in the kernel. There does not seem to be enough of a need for this in the Photon community for the devs to write the patch into the kernel.

ZTE N960 is a new phone with CDMA celler type. will it be sold by verizon or sprint in USA?
[Kindle Fire General] Magical3:
Okay, this guide is for users with less experience and want to overclock their Kindle Fire. This is for Windows.

This section is if you haven't installed ADB yet

1) You need to download the Android SDK

Android SDK: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

2) Open the SDK Manager and install the SDK Tools and SDK Platform Tools

3) You need to add the ADB path. First find where you installed the Android SDK.The default is in C:\Program Files\Android\Android-sdk or C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\Android-sdk, you can check in the SDK Manager at the top, it will tell you your path. Then click on the start button, and right click on my computer and hit properties. Then on the left click Advanced System Settings In the next box at the bottom is Environment Variables click on this. Under System Variables find the variable that says Path DO NOT DELETE THIS VARIABLE! Hit Edit and at the the end put:

;YOUR ANDROID SDK PATH\tools;YOUR ANDROID SDK PATH\platform-tools

Then hit OK.

ADB install tutorial is now finished

4)Now we want to add the correct drivers. There are a couple of ways to do this, this is the way I do it. Again right click on My Computer, and click properties. Now in the top left corner is Device Manager click on this. Now find where it says Kindle and right click it. Click the drivers tab and then Update Drivers and then browse my computer for driver software. Then click, let me choose from a list on my computer and click adb interface, and then either a ADB Testing Interface, or fastboot Interface, both work for what we are doing.

5) The next thing you want is a kernel so download and put in the \platform-tools folder.

IntersectRaven's: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1382999

DoomLord's: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372625

6) Plug your Kindle Fire into your computer

7) Open a CMD window. Hit start and run CMD.exe or search for CMD. Then type into cmd:

adb shell

idme bootmode 4002

reboot

8) Open another CMD and type cd YOUR ANDROID SDK PATH \platform-tools. Then type:

fastboot boot NAME OF KERNEL.img

9) Now your Kindle will reboot, make sure it boots! Now that you have verified that it works we are ready to flash it.

10) Shutdown your Kindle Fire.

11) Use your old CMD with fastboot, and type:

fastboot flash boot NAME OF KERNEL.img

12) It will probably get stuck in booting at this point. With the fastboot CMD type:

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

it will say waiting for device, do not close this CMD!

13) Now hold down the power button until your device turns off. Then turn it on again, and the command will register.

14) Let your Kindle Fire boot and enjoy your new kernel!

If this doesn't work please leave a comment, or if I forgot anything, I am kind of tired while writing this. I may add pictures later. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] borborpa:
All this does is boots the custom kernel a single time (which you MUST do to test it). You still need to flash it. :-)
[Kindle Fire General] Magical3:
Sorry, I will add the rest soon, slipped my tired mind.
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
do we really need the whole android and java sdk ?

the only commands used is adb and fastboot.

woud'nt the tools directory of KFU be enough since it contains the necessary commands ?

furthermore the driver installation is a essential part for correct operation of adb and fastboot

and don't forget so say your how-to is for windows
[Kindle Fire General] Magical3:
I haven't looked at the KFU much yet, so I don't know. I added that it is for windows and removed the java sdk. And added how to flash the kernel.
[Kindle Fire General] craftycoder:
Accessory mode suppot

Are any Fire kernels available that support Accessory Mode aka ADK.

The changes that need to be made to the kernel are available from Google. They are in the main 3.x kernel source tree and in the samsung source tree of the 2.6.35 kernel.
