As of right now, the OTA of .21 breaks being able to root using razorclaw, so beware if that. There's a downgrade, but it's not 100% right now.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luna_c666:
Ok, so just so you guys know what is possible and what I was asking, basically I know that ICS is goind to be running on Yaffs file system, at least for the Epic 4G that I also have, and I was basically wondering if this update was the PRE-ICS update, a pre-requisite to updating to ICS. BUT, just because I wanted to make sure, and didn't have 10 posts/much cred here, I was running-

ROM- PRIME 2.1.1

Kernal- Netformer 1.6

Yet I read that the 8.6.5.21 update also fixed some glitches, HDMI issues, GPS update etc., and I didn't want to go without that. I read over in DEV that they had fixed the .21 updater so that it could be applied without breaking root, but only over the stock ROM. SO, I reverted back to stock and flashed over the WW version 8.6.6.23, after trying the 8.6.5.21 for both US and WW, and both aborting while trying to access system/build.prop. Thus, I updated with the fixed 8.6.6.23 updater, reloaded Razorclaw, regained root, flashed recovery, and installed a new ROM (this time I tried the KRAKD ROM, and I like it alot with the samurai kernal UV/OC), I didn't check the device versions before applying the .23 update, and since I wasn't told whether it was necessary, I figured if nothing else I might as well do it since I presume it fixes/updates the GPS with or without rooting and flashing a new rom..but any clarification from a DEV would be nice. I'm trying to get into it and learn as much as I can.

Thanks!

So, are we able to perform backups/restores through the Boostrap or do we have to use the fastboot files if something goes amiss?

Nevermind saw your post in the bootstrap thread, awesome! I'll put the fastboot files on my phone just in case.

Backup and restores are performed through bootstrap for right now. The fastboot files need to be on your computer so you can run them via RSD lite. But only if something goes wrong :cool:

Hey guys,

I did some searching and couldn't seem to find a "Phase Beam" Live Wallpaper STILL image. I like the design of it, but don't care for the live wallpaper aspect. Any way I can get a HD image from the live wallpaper? Thanks in advance.

Sent from my GNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
don't think theres any way to do it. closest thing would be a launcher that removes the statusbar and is totally blank and someone just takes a screen shot, but then you'd also need a custom launcher since you'd need to set no scrolling to get it to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natezire71:
Found one:

Sent from my GNexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
and i'll just shut up now lol.

only downside to that is that it's a little small for the Gnex. our wallpapers need to be minimum smallest size 1200. thats 960. so you may notice some loss in quality. or possibly not. the advantage of the high DPI sometimes makes low resolution images still look good on the screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Simmo3D:
Shouldn't our wallpapers be 1280x720 or 1200x720 at least?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
i've seen many people say that if you want the best quality you need 1200+ on all sides.

possibly something to do with how android crops it. I've yet to try anything below 1200.

keep in mind, that though the actual on screen resolution is 720 wide by 1280 high, the real wallpaper resolution is 1480 wide by 1280 high because of how android handles wallpapers. so anything smaller will be lower quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] natezire71:
I did not know that. Thanks for clarifying though. :)

Edit: Wait, did you get those mixed up? Shouldn't it be 1480x1280? Not 1280x1480.

You see, I only have one homescreen. So, I don't know if that matters. There obviously isn't any wallpaper scrolling.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neok44:
yeah probably.

height should be 1280 and width should be 1480.

even if you have one homescreen, android still wants to crop a square wallpaper. thats been the issue since the G1. so if you want a portrait image, you need to use a third party app.

now, if your using a custom launcher then thats another story, as some when you disable wallpaper scrolling it gives you a crop for a single screen.
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
I remember seeing guides on here to help the newbs out with terminology about rooting and so on. I've never had an HTC phone, just returned my GNEX for the REZOUND. I really want to understand what kernels are, what RUU means, etc. Are there any tutorials out there to help learn about all this. Any help would be appreciated.
[HTC Rezound] pwned3:
I'll help what I little I can. Ruu is a program that is run from a pc that returns it to like new condition minus the relocked. You have to relock before using it. Kernels you have to flash from bootloader unlocked without S-off.

[HTC Rezound] Marine6680:
A kernel is literally the actual OS. The bits you see and interact with on the screen is the GUI (graphic user interface) which is just an application layer that allows the user and apps to interact with the kernel. This applies for Linux, Windows, MacOS, and Android.

The kernel is what has access and control over the device hardware. Different kernels have different settings and options in them. E.G. CPU frequency steps, CPU voltage control, GPU control, bluetooth module, GPS system, and others. It controls everything basically.

Like I said before, what everyone tends to think of an OS is just the GUI, (some OS's only have command line interfaces) but that is just an abstraction layer that allows users an easier method to control the kernel. (OS)

The benefits of new kernels are the changes and tweaks they contain for improving various phone functions.
[HTC Rezound] Shahaed:
Yeah, as he said Kernels are one layer down from the GUI (Graphical User Interface). Imagine it like a onion. The core is your hardware, kernel is up one. It's the software that interacts with the hardware, then there is the CLI (Command Line Interface) or GUI that interacts with the kernel.

Hey I'm running ARHD 2.1.2 and I have an album called insta uploads. I was wondering if any of you guys are aware how to remove this album.?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phiquantu:
I too wondering why Google decided to make it a PITA for everybody to remove the instant-uploaded photo. They do let us Edit though, that really ticks me off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GManLynx:
Well thank you geek_riot you helped me narrow it down. To anyone else, the only way to edit this is to go on your computer and delete the photos (or maybe google+ on your phone?) Either way its not the way it should be :\.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DonJuan692006:
The way I keep them from showing up/get rid of the album:

1. Go to accounts under settings and remove whatever Google account the Instant Upload folder is tied to.

2. Go to the settings in Gallery and make sure that you have "Sync on Wifi Only" checked.

3. With Wifi turned off re-add your Google account, then uncheck the box to sync Google albums.

4. Carry on as normal.

This works as long as you don't select the "Refresh" option in the Gallery. That forces the Gallery to re-associate your Instant Upload album, similar to doing a one time sync of your Gmail inbox if you have auto sync turned off.

ummmm...hello xda devs and members. i am a noob on these forums regarding development of the android OS. i managed to installed racht's floyo v0.30 after a lot of difficulties.

i have root explorer v2.15 installed on the custom rom. before yesterday everything was alright, i could browse and change the permissions of files easily. how ever yesterday in the evening i found out that my gallery wasnt displaying any of my cam pics:(. so via root explorer i browsed to the DCIM folder and saw that Owner r/w/e permission wasnt enabled. i tried to enable but i got a message saying that permission change was unsuccessful as sd card does not allow it, or something similar. so i updated and installed the official android 2.1 eclair via SEUS. the problem still persists. please help me:(:(:(:(
[XPERIA X8 General] Realtbhuion:
um, did you wipe the userdata in xrec/cwm ?

if not, try that.

if you did, all i can suggest is back up the content and format the card.

(that said i'm no expert so maybe someone else will have better solutions.)
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
before installing rom i performed factory reset through xrecovery and i also tried formatting the sd card. but no use. are u saying that i should try factory reset in phone settings. please reply ASAP
[XPERIA X8 General] Realtbhuion:
oh, no, just in recovery , but if you've done that, and you've tried formatting the sdcard, idk, perhaps try reinstalling the rom now that you've formatted the sdcard?

if that doesn't do it, y'need someone with more experience than me, heh.
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
hmmmm...maybe i should try again. and i was wondering if i can use a different sd card(not the one that came with my phone) but if i do so on my custom rom will i brick my phone or something
[XPERIA X8 General] Realtbhuion:
no, switching sd card won't brick the phone.

also, you could try a more recent version of root explorer and see if that helps.
[XPERIA X8 General] sgt. meow:
thanks for the replies. i will try root explorer v2.17 and give updates. please subscribe to this thread so if i face any further problems with this you can help me out.
[XPERIA X8 General] CKKnot:
If can help....

you should explorer more on the forum ;)

anyway, get latest flash tool, adb shell, baseband 015, unlock bootloader, custom kernel, custom Rom which is compatible with your custom Rom.

NOTE: USE THE SEARCH BUTTON ON TOP RIGHT OF THIS PAGE.

flash 015 baseband using flash tool, reboot, install busybox, xrecovery, #unlock bootloader (CAREFUL), reboot, flash custom kernel#, install custom rom. done.

NOTE: CAN SKIP STEP WITH ## QUOTE IF YOU ARE UNEASY WHAT YOU ARE DOING, PHONE WILL NOT BE SMOOTH AS PHONE WITH UNLOCKED BOOTLOADER AND WITH CUSTOM KERNEL, SAFETY FIRST :D.

IF GOT PROBLEM, REFLASH/UPDATE USING SEUS(GOOGLE), USING FLASHTOOL INSTALL BUSYBOX, XRECOVERY. REBOOT INTO RECOVERY, MOUNT SYSTEM, PLUG IN ADB CABLE TO PC (ENABLE USE DEBUG FIRST ADB AND INSTALL DRIVER), CMD, ADB SHELL, TYPE IN:

1. SU

2. BUSYBOX

3. DMESG

(SEARCH FORUM FIRST IF DON'T UNDERSTAND)

Can't access

csc/ tmb....file? I tried flashing just the csc file using odin but it just soft bricked the phone. Can anyone help with this? I can't get either phone into recovery:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] QUIETLYloud:
I'm pretty certain that being rooted just gives you the ability to push the files needed for recovery to /system... Or, you could flash a kernel with cwm recovery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
That "can't access CSC/TMB" error is normal, at least for me. As for getting into recovery, it's different once you flash the Gingerbread boot loaders.

Power off the phone. Hold the volume up & down buttons at the same time. While doing that, press and hold the power button. Once the "Galaxy S" screen shows up, wait a second or two and you'll notice that screen gets a tad bit brighter. When that happens release only the power button while continuing to hold the volume buttons. You should get the recovery screen after that.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Danyelle39:
I know how to do download mode and recovery, and all that guys. I'm not a noob, I have just never posted anything. But I get stuck because on Froyo (rooted) the 2nd option on the recovery screen it said "reinstall packages" and you choose that one...blah blah blah....well on Gingerbread recovery the 2nd option on the recovery screen is "apply update to sd card" and that option takes me to files, and I can't find an update.zip anywhere in recovery or on the sd card or on the phone. And I keep getting the following error:

--Applying Multi-CSC...

Istallng Multi-CSC

Can't access to /system/csc/TMB/system/

Successfully applied multi-CSC.

I'm going to attempt to clarify things here, so forgive me (and correct me) if any of this is wrong :)

- You updated 2 different SGS 4Gs to KJ6 (2.3.6) using Kies Mini

- Both phones are now rooted

- You tried using drhonk's KJ1 kernel on at least one them (which gives you root, CWM, and voodoo lagfix) but it was unstable

- You WANT to have CWM vs the stock recovery

What is the current state of either phone with regard to what ROM & kernel are on it?

If you're at stock 2.3.6 (KJ6 ROM) and you were having issues with drhonk's kernel, you can try one of bhundven's [Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]. The latter of which on that list will give you root, CWM, and voodoo lag fix.

Note the link that lumin30 gave is flashable via Heimdall. I used it to flash onto my phone and the kernel works great. I'm currently running it, as a matter of fact.

No oops, you can flash it either way. :) I had just installed stock 2.3.6 and didn't have CWM, so I went the Heimdall route. I didn't try Beta 2d, I went straight to Beta 3. I dig it.

I get that same error about CSC. I think everyone does. Note that it says "Appling" not "Applying" LOL. Don't think that has anything to do with your problem.

Also what OTA 2.3.6 update? I thought we all had to use Kies Mini to put the stock update on? Or is that just a Tmobile USA thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Danyelle39:
Correct both are rooted...well correction I had to flash one back to stock because I messed it all up playing with Heimdall, so now only one has root. But yes, both are running KJ6 2.3.6 (only one is rooted with the "not working" recovery) neither one has voodoo as of right now. Both phones are giving the same error "cant access to /system/csc/tmb/system/" (even the one that is not rooted). Yes I want cwm or voodoo either one, but I've been experiencing the unstableness with voodoo. On the phone that is rooted...yes it goes into download mode and recovery, but recovery doesn't have an update.zip to flash, so therefore, I can't flash anything. I don't like using custom kernels (although I have found KG4 is probably the most stable), I just wish I could root my Gingerbread and actually be able to use recovery to flash, and fix permissions, and all that good stuff. I don't know what I did wrong. I'm not a noob, I just have never had to actually post anything on here. I find little things all time that ain't right, or just don't make sense about my phone. But I usually either fix it or live with it. But this one has got my brain boiling! I can't figure this one out. I know there are alot going on that doesn't make sense at all, I wish a magic fairy would come in and fix both phones like they just left the store so I can start all over and hopefully not run into this problem....anyone know of any fairys available?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Having CWM or the right recovery you refer to is a modded kernal. The stock kernal gives you the recovery you are seeing. The update.zip was on froyo. Now you just need to ODIN the modded kernal we keep telling you to do. That will give you CWM or the right recovery to flash away with. ODIN A MODDED KERNAL. Take your pick. I recommend bhundven as he is active developer and updating his work. They have worked great for me. No problems.
