[LG Revolution] Cybie257:
Yes, because your phone is going to be seeking a 4g connection, not a 3g, whereas keeping it in CDMA/3g mode, forces it to only seek a 3g connection. I have had enough experience just in this past week that CDMA only mode provides a better 3g connection than I would get when dropping into 3g from 4g. Also, the Verizon tech stated the same effect would be true when she recommended me to switch with the current problems to gain a more stable data connection for my hotspot.

I had the same problem until I restored my ROM back to gingervolt 1.3 and blitzkrieg kernal. I think with all the supercharging and add ons it messed up the radio.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
I know the rebound has an awesome radio because it is tied into the cpu or something which gives it awesome strength. Idk if othr phones are like that or not though.
[LG Revolution] revo_65:
I have noticed if I don't run the KAK script, my signal is way better. I ended up reflashing GV and just supercharged without KAK, and my signal was great.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamanoglu:
greetings all,

i have a new phone and unfortunately the phone came with a rom of our service provider t-mobile who but some custom apps witch can be only removed if the phone has been rooted.

of course i did some research on how to root my device but i get stuck and have no idea anymore how to root my device. i made luckily a screen capture.

could please someone help me how to root my device and send me links of file that i need during the root proces.

many thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
Those pre-installed apps are part of your firmware, which is branded. If you want to get rid of them, flash one that isn't branded. And if you want your phone rooted too, just go with a custom-ROM.

If you need help with it, tell me what country you live in and what language you want your UI in.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamanoglu:
you mean just instal a custom rom using odin?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
This depends on your desired outcome.

Do you want a stock ROM, a custom-ROM, CyanogenMod or MIUI?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamanoglu:
i want to use cyanogenmod or miui, i have no idea what the difference is between them but it seems to nice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
CyanogenMod is as close as you can get to the "naked" Android. It's like the nexus-series.

MIUI is like a mix of Android and iOS. Very simple, yet powerful and allows a lot of customization.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamanoglu:
many thanks for explanation, so in my case i should probably choose for miui, so how do i get it on my phone?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
First backup your data. You will have to factory reset your phone. What language is the UI in? I assume Dutch, but I'm not sure.

You can already download Odin and the Siyah-kernel (the tar version).

Edit:

Just checked your profile. ;-)

You can find ether latest MIUI on

www.miui.nl/

Tell me once you have all the files.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamanoglu:
i downloaded the Siyah-kernel and also download the miui rom from miui.nl.

so what do i need to do next?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
You need either Odin or Heimdall. In your case I'd go with Odin, as it's simpler to use and you won't need it much. So, download Odin and get the drivers working. Close KIES competely, put your phone into download-mode (turn off, hold volume-down & home, then turn it on) and connect it while Odin is running. It should detect your device.

I'll post the further instructions once you got everything working so far.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamanoglu:
i am ready
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSniperFan:
When you are ready with Odin, make sure that Repartition and flash lock are NOT checked.

Auto reboot and f. reset time shall be.

Tick the "PDA" box and select the Siyah tarball. Then hit start.

When the phone reboots immediately hold volume-up and home until you are in ClockWorkMod.

Go to mounts & storage and mount the USB-storage. Put the MIUI-zip-file on your device, then unmount the USB-storage.

After that proceed like this:

Wipe data

Install zip from sd-card and choose your MIUI zip.

Wait till the installation is finished and reboot.

If your phone does not boot, go into ClockWorkMod and install again.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karamanoglu:
thesniperfan, i finally made it thanks 2 you, therefore i wish you and xda the best wishes in 2012!

After 6 our of putting all the information across the web together so i could try to root the S2 GT-9100 i got it working. So i want to give you the credits, there your post was my main lead of info to get started. I have the MIUI: Miuinl SGS2-1.12.30 Signed version installed, after i routed the phone through ODIN with: Siyah-v2.6.7. My Baseband version is still the I9100BOKJ1 (no idea what is means), but got it working now. It is a blessing, will thanks on the Miui site as well for this great piece of work. Thanks, and for the other new visitors: it works, just read from the beginning and have patient.

GingerMOD is also very close to pure AOSP. I'm actually considering going to it because it supports TV-Out via MHL, whereas CyanogenMod does not, as far as I know. Could be worth checking out for you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] littlecrazywolf:
use another kernel

hi it have worked for me too, but i have a question, could i use another kernel with a stock rom is this possible, im not that smart and have for the first time a smartphone the same as karamanoglu, i just got lucky to got my phone rooted, first i did a hard reset and it got in a loop by rebooting and going to the tmobile logo back and forth, so i got frustrated and decided to root it, but i dont like the custom rom and want it back to the stock rom, but am affraid it will get a brick with my luck. can i use the kernel bokg2 and with the original stock rom from samsung but still rooted and can delete the apps from samsung if i want, sory for the bad english.

[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Hello,

I just got a "Player" called Samsung galaxy player 4.0 which is basically the Samsung galaxy s without the phone antenna.

It has android 2.3.5 and the browser is extremely SMOOTH, iphone like!

Plus skype video call is much better in quality.

Skype apart, why is the browser so much worse on the lg with a GPU like the tegra 2? Is this all because of LG non-optimization?
[LG Optimus 2x] sodade21:
you got that player for optimus 2X?

Also i was wondering the same about LG and optimization... my previous phone was a samsung galaxy mini with ginger 2.3.4 and it was smoother at browsing and at menus than O2X ... even now that im using CM7..weird
[LG Optimus 2x] Tehloy:
Actually, LG did not make any browser tweaks to make browsing smoother. It's just normal android performance.

Samsung did some black magic on their phones that makes the browser extra smooth.

I would suggest you try opera mobile that does not use the default tweaks, and see how smooth that is, on both phones.
[LG Optimus 2x] xtrustkillx:
Afaik its because it has gpu accelerated browser.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rusty!:
Bingo.

Samsung built H/W acceleration into their browser.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
The o2x has gpu flash acceleration so bleh!

Iv never owned a Samsung android phone so i cant compare but browsing is pretty dam fast on the o2x so maybe your have been spoiled.
[LG Optimus 2x] vitaminxero:
If it's a different browser, one could use tile rendering (I think that's what it's called.). I don't know the geeky specifics but I believe it means the phone doesn't render the whole page, just blocks of it that you see at the current zoom level. It's also how the iPhone renders the web pages. Hence why it's so smooth. Hardware acceleration doesn't solve everything ;)
[LG Optimus 2x] shcjosh:
Have you tried Opera Mobile?

it's much better then stock browser,

but still, not quite smooth as i9100.
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
And if you don't like opera then you could try dolphin browser hd.
[LG Optimus 2x] nisamtetreb:
Firefox is quite usable now too and has acceleration.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
firefox is **** for android don't even mention that turd again, it doesn't even support html5 videos ffs. They need to remove that embarrassing crap from android market.
[LG Optimus 2x] tomasiqu:
I had only problems with firefox. It needs much more work. I use Opera and I dont have any problems with browsing. Everything is pretty smooth.
[LG Optimus 2x] nisamtetreb:
I meant the beta, they improved it and the desktop sync is unique, I want that feature. Aurora nightly has better GUI but no sync.
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
So it has one decent feature one that i wouldnt even use anyway, it uses all your ram, doesn't support flash doesn't support html5 and.has caused.my.phone to restart when exiting it its pure garbage i won't touch it till they bin the devs working on it.
[LG Optimus 2x] CVonV:
when I was on stock froyo/gb.. i found that 720p youtube videos viewed in the browser skipped a lot of frames. but on a Samsung Galaxy S it was quite smooth

anyways 720p youtube vids are fine now on CM7 temasek build 23 :)
[LG Optimus 2x] Simongiar:
For me Dolphin Browser is the best for android, Never seen Galaxy S2 stock browser working
[LG Optimus 2x] eraldo:
Ridiculous.... iv never seen any lag or skips. The o2x has gpu flash acceleration as well.... the Samsung galaxy s does not so why is this the first iv ever heard either of those statements...
[LG Optimus 2x] CVonV:
why is it ridiculous when i'm telling you that that's how it was for me?

on stock froyo/gingerbread.. 720p youtube playback on the LG browser is lagged.. frames skipped everywhere. and it was the same on opera/dolphin hd/ff with the latest adobe flash installed.. 480p was perfectly smooth though

my friend's SGS gingerbread (wasn't sure if it was custom or stock) played 720p with no lag at all in the browser

i am telling you exactly what happened.. this is on stock stock. no mods. just pure out of the box vanilla.
[LG Optimus 2x] ClausG76:
Is the flash player still gpu accelerated, when it's updated from market?
[LG Optimus 2x] -sandro-:
Honestly after this I believe you
[LG Optimus 2x] CVonV:

[LG Optimus 2x] Medizinmann:
Hello!

My 0.02€ to this...

I use latest CM7.2-R0-Kangs, latest ironknL builds with 32MB ramhack running at 1.3Ghz and latest Dolphin browser 7.2.0 HD (update today to 7.3.0).

…and everything is smooth and without problems - regardless if I am connected over UMTS oder WLAN. :cool::):D

Including Video play (in browser) on portals like Dailymotion or MyVideo.

But: Yes, the original stock browser from LG with stock rom sucks big time…period…:(
[General Questions and Answers] longkeeler:
Just another approach: I have a card reader with separate slots for micro SD cards and such with the larger housing. Goal: scale up the SD-card from 2 to 16 GB.

So, I put both the 2GB card (from a running HD2) and the new one in separate slots of the reader and fired up Acronis disk director. Then I copied the FAT32 and the Ext3 partition from the 2 GB 'drive' to the 16 GB one, increasing the partition size to 14 GB for the FAT32 partition, 980 MB for the Ext3, and I added about 39 MB as 'Linux swap area'.

All newly created partitions were designated as primary partitions.

The result: A HD2 sunk in deep thoughts. It starts the booting process, then shows the resting blue loop under this wafer pattern plane, and then - nothing more. As exciting as drying oil paint.

Of course, yes, the contents of the original partitions were copied too. The original card had no swap area. I did not yet give it a try without that. Any other proposals or pointers to where I did something terribly wrong? Thanks in advance, and a happy and successful 2012!

Cheers,

The Longkeeler.

So I have SF-IV (LG Nitro HD exclusive release - modded for DHD resolution) installed on my DHD, game plays really well except for the audio output. When executing special moves and big combos the audio lags and crackles (which also causes the game to lag slightly). Tried everything known to man but can't fix this.. any help guys? Turning off audio from the game itself makes the game run 100% smooth, but its weird with no sound.

If anyone out there has audio working like a charm on their DHD - please let me know.
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] R3dF1v3:
Given that the modded version of SF4 is warez, I believe this is breaking the rules of this site.

@ DEVs, if this thread is deemed to be breaking any XDA rules then by all means close it. Was simply trying to get info on a little problem, no 'warez' were uploaded nor any 'warez' sites linked to the thread - peace.

I bought it, using the Market app on my DHD...
[Desire HD Themes and Apps] Andy:
Discussing warez is still against the rules.

As you say it was a LG Nitro exclusive that was "modded" to run on the DHD, and you come here for help because your sound crackles? Try another forum, not XDA.

Four days ago bought the SGS2 and I'm wondering is there really that big of a difference between S4G and SGS2 other than screen size? I did like the Vibrant but I'm still kind of feeling like taking the SGS2 back for the S4G and save 200+ dollars

Nexus shouldn't even be on the list. Weak ass gpu
[General Topics] shoerhino:
Huge differences. I had the Vibrant as well and although they fixed the GPS on the S4G, they never fixed the file systems problems (RFS). Over time, the phone slows to a CRAWL, which is why the Voodoo file system conversion was so popular. Plus there are fewer ROMS for the S4G compared to the Vibrant and the support is already gone... It's unlikely anymore upgrades will come out for this phone.

The S2 will get ICS (crosses fingers that Samsung does not go back on their statements), has an EXT4 filesystem, and the S2 is currently being supported and developed on. Plus the S2 is a dual core with 1gb of RAM and the S4G is a single core with 768 MB of RAM.

[HTC Jetstream] finniest:
When using fastboot flash you have to specify a partition to flash, so that command will not work. The correct command is:

fastboot flash boot wifi_htc_bcmMFG248_ag_tx_rx_swap.img

I am not guaranteeing that it will solve your problem, only that it will actually flash your boot partition. The best outcome is that it fixes your problem. The worst outcome is that your tablet will no longer boot due to mismatched /boot and /system partitions.

If the latter occurs then I recommend that you install a custom ROM. Let us know if it comes to that and someone will guide you.

Don't forget to backup what you have on the tablet before you do anything.
[HTC Jetstream] cx5:
Thanks finniest, I have performed…Fastboot flash boot boot_signed.img

And solved temporarily. Got wifi not to say error. Allows me to turn on, but then immediately shuts off and display error again.

On another note, i also relocked bootloader. Run RUU, but error 155, means I can't restock.

Currently has TWRP, root, SU, all OK. Able to change custom rom anytime. But wifi error. CWrecovery flashed doomlord's wifi fix but not working.

The wifi.img hasn't been tried yet. feels strange to flash wifi.img going into the boot partition. Am I just being paranoia?
