I just recently updated my phone to 2.3.4 GRJ22 i am on V20d which the BB is 1035.21_20110725 any advise and any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks in advance Guys!!

Joe,
[LG Optimus 2x] SP1996AC:
Well I'm not from manilla but I can help of course :D

Uhm the latest CM7.2 kangs are really stable so if you want to use cm then I think you should flash them right away. As for stock I think guestes rom will also do fine since I've heard many positive reviews about it.

In the dev section you'll also find many threads about flashing the right BB etc. So follow the threads over there and I'm sure that you will get the right BB for your phone.

As for RIL, everything becomes even easier. Just install the GetRIL app (needs root access) and just install one of the many RILs over there.

I hope that everything is clear now :)
[LG Optimus 2x] 2Kings:
your baseband is just fine, i have the same..

and get ril will tell you if you have the optimal ril.. i have v10d europe open, but as long as everything works, there is no need to change it ;)
[Epic 4G General] ironcladlou:
I'm wondering how long you guys think it will take for ICS to get ported to the Epic. I mean, realistically, it took us the better part of a year to get CM7 (and it's still only a release candidate). I'm pretty invested in this phone, having bought a car dock and game gripper for it. But it seems to be such an oddball in terms of development. My buddy's got a Fascinate, and seeing his 4.0 screenshots has been making me very jealous. Been thinking of trading in for a Nexus S or Evo Shift. Thoughts? And I hate to pimp, but if you've got either of those phones, and are looking for a Boost Mobile Epic, I'd consider a trade. PM me.

While it's on my mind, the aforementioned Fascinate guy stated that he gets 600k downstream on VZW when tethering, 1meg in good signal area. I've never even approached that...fastest I ever got was 200k, usually closer to 100k. Is this a difference in the radios between Galaxy models, or a symptom of VZW vs. Sprint?
[Epic 4G General] ac16313:
What do you mean "still ONLY a release candidate" ?

I stopped reading there, don't know why I came here anyway looking at the title its bound to be an ETA thread.

Anyway IB4L.
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
1. ICS will take a shorter time than cm7

2. The nexus s is way better than the shift. The shift isn't pure Google and is reeeeeaaaallllyyyy slow

3. VZW. > sprint

Also, our cm7 RC works perfect. Everything works fine...
[Epic 4G General] ironcladlou:
I mean it ain't gold yet. Don't get me wrong, it's a huge step for this phone, but we could realistically be looking at a 12 month gap between the time when CM7 was official, to the time when it was official for the Epic. I don't think I'd enjoy waiting that long for CM9, y'know?
[Epic 4G General] ironcladlou:
Worth waiting, you think?

Good to know. I was playing with a Shift this weekend, and I kinda liked it.

True, but 10x better?

Except Wimax ;)
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
I would wait for an LTE phone to come out before switching.

Read the thread about a wimax bounty (the last couple posts). Since you are on boost, you don't have wimax anyways, right?
[Epic 4G General] ironcladlou:
Yeah, and even if I could hack it together, there's no Wimax coverage where I am anyways. Here's the question, though...I'm sticking with Boost, and I doubt they'll be offering LTE anytime soon. Still wait, you think?
[Epic 4G General] MДЯCЦSДИT:
Still wait for quad core phones.
[Epic 4G General] dtugg:
You live in an area with crappy Sprint service. I get around 1-1.3 mbps on 3G. If I am tethering it will be on 4G though (4-6mbps).

which is the best ROM for STOCK kernel....>?????
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] jodhaniohm97:
MiniCM6 v1.0.6 is best for me for stock kernel!

And the best rom for everyone will be different! So you need to check yourself which suits you the best! Happy Flashing!!! ;)

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] icerebro:
I prefer in stock kernel MiniCM7 pro V21 by Paul...

Just give a try, and decide which is better for you..!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kasif20:
thanks cerebro....but when i was looking for CM7 it said its for zombie and other kernels and it requires to unlock the bootloader because it installs the private kernel on that....
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Tommylee567:
i will go for the custom kernel because i can feel the difference when i use the phone. so if you feel very brave and have more guts to unlock the bootloader you can test all the available kernels.

I prefer you can test that out with custom kernel. if you dont then its ok.

Every user has a personal opinion over rom and kernel. so it is pointless to know which one works with the stock kernel. You can go for a rom hunt and find out which one works for you.

Good luck!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] static28:
for me best rom for stock is CM7v21 and GingerDX (any version) :)

also FlameDX.ICS style.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] icerebro:
I think you are getting confused... The miniCM7Pro by paul, is this

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr. Sula:
Hey all, I'm looking for some suggestions. I cracked the lcd screen on my streak and had it replaced. When I turned it on it was stuck on the Dell screen. I was running Streakdroid 1.61 on it. So I tried to go into Streakmod and reflash it but I keep getting the message:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk1p1

(No such file or directory)

E:Can't mount /sdcard

I have tried different roms and sdcards but nothing works.

I have tried doing a factory reset as well to no avail.

What is my next option, should I try the QDL tool?

Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.

YEah is seems like something has corrupted your ROM install
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabcombover:
Please post issues in the GTabCombOver Q&A Thread.

GTabCombOver is an improved version of GTabComb, a Honeycomb 3.0.1 ROM by zyhong. It is a G Tablet ROM, but people have reported that it works with the Hannspad and the ZPad T2 as well. Here are zyhong's original instructions:

STANDARD DISCLAIMER: USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. By running this firmware mod, you agree that there is the possibility that you may brick your device and neither myself, XDA nor Viewsonic are responsible for supporting you if that occurs. In this case, it is required that you learn and setup nvflash prior to running this mod.

This is a port of AdamComb with pershoot kernel and some tweak for performance and usability. Thanks all the greatest Adam, Vegan, Gtab devs that make this rom possible.

Install instruction:

1. Make sure the version of your bootloader and download the corresponding rom

2. I guess most of you should already be in CWM, but if you are not. update the recovery to CWM first. Stock recovery might work but you need to do some work and CWM is much better anyway.

3. Wipe data / Factory reset. It might work well, but you will most likely have problems without doing this.

4. Using the "install from sdcard" to install and enjoy.​

Change Log:

3.4.2:

rajeevvp's memory tweak.

Flashback 8.1's fix for external sd cards and usb disks.

1.1:

Fix for wifi not loading on bootloader 1.1.

3.4.1:

Updated to latest version of Maps application.

1.2:

Resolution fixed (only the 1.2 edition went out with the wrong resolution set)

CPU frequency restored correctly after sleep

3.4:

Fixes from AdamComb 0.3:

Improves bluetooth

Improves gps

Updated the Market (fixes download issues)

Updated all the other apps that have newer versions

1.2:

Clemsyn's honeycombtrial5 kernel, which greatly reduces the Sleep of Death problem

What version of honeycomb is this 3.0.1 or 3.1?
[G Tablet Android Development] anilphv:
Does it work with ZPad 3G? Thanks in advance.
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabcombover:
It is a 3.0.1 ROM at this time.
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabcombover:
ZPad 3G

As far as I know, no one has tried it on anything other than a g tablet, but if GTabComb 3.3 worked on the ZPad 3G, GTabCombOver probably will as well. If you would like to give it a try, let me know how it goes for you.
[G Tablet Android Development] ketjr81:
thanks, i tried gtabcombs and flashback before but they would get sluggish on me until i needed to reboot. so far everything is fine for me on this rom. i did lower the dalvic vm heapsize though.
[G Tablet Android Development] dagwud:
I'd been using Bottle of Smoke and then Flashback for a while. But Flashback kept crashing on me (shutting down randomly).

So far, this is running smoothly. But, then, I've only had it on the device for about 14 hours. Looking forward to seeing how stable it stays.

(I just wish there was a way to get the camera working on Honeycomb ROMs.)
[G Tablet Android Development] DaddyGoFast:
subscribing for sure.

very excited! thanks for doing this!
[G Tablet Android Development] Razor1973:
Flashback crashes on me whenever it tries to access location services (Maps, etc.).

EDIT: As a matter of fact, so does GTabCombOver. I just installed it and it crashes as soon as Google Maps tries to acquire my location.
[G Tablet Android Development] DaddyGoFast:
Yeah, so did the other ROM. Seems something broke when google updated the new maps app.
[G Tablet Android Development] persichini:
Is there any plans to bring 3.1 to the gtablet.. or is there some kind of driver issue... because no one as done it.
[G Tablet Android Development] thangcuoi:
I've been waiting for someone to continue work on GTabComb. So thank you for your effort.

Here are my experience with GTabCombover 3.4.2 [BL 1.2]. Let me know what I can do to help make it better.

1. Wiped Data/Cache/Dalvik cache then install and reboot.

2. Login and setup. It auto restore app previously installed on the account.

3. All the apps ran fine. Random freeze and lag.

4. Tried it with and without ADW Launcher EX. Still lag randomly, even while configuring the launcher.

5. gTablet has a 1GB ext3 partition created with the help of CWM (or NVFlash, can't remember).

6. Gallery works. Camera does not.

Has this rom been overclocked as it was done by default on GTabComb?
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabcombover:
Maps crashing

I had that happen to me once, but a power off and on fixed it. Could you try that and see if it works for you? If not, could you run GetLogs right after the crash to see if that can provide me with any useful information?
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabcombover:
Heap size

I've been considering trying out a lower heapsize. What effects have you seen from lowering it?
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabcombover:
I've toyed a bit with 3.2, but so far all I've managed is painful soft-bricks. To my knowlege, there aren't any driver reasons why it can't be done, though.
[G Tablet Android Development] gtabcombover:
Overclocking

It uses the same default overclock as GTabComb. On the other hand, it uses a different CPU governor for the 1.2 version, since the kernel on that version doesn't support the governor that GTabComb used.
[G Tablet Android Development] persichini:
I would love to see this pulled off...

there is some website out there that is claiming to have gtablet 3.1 rom if you buy it for $18.... There is no proof that it is in fact 3.1 though.
[G Tablet Android Development] bdds13:
Which website would that be though? I think whoever wrote that it has 3.1 probably got confused with 3.0.1 which is what all g tablet honeycomb versions are.
[G Tablet Android Development] Puhn:
I've been using gtabcombover for about a week and it has been pretty solid. However, it does seem to use quite a bit of memory. Last night it got *very* slow. I started Memory Booster just to see what the memory situation was and it reported that I only had 2% left (98% used). I killed all tasks and got it down to about 88% used which made it responsive again. But, it shouldn't be using that much memory, should it? After a fresh boot it shows 55% used. Again, is that normal for all ROMs? I never had Memory Booster installed before so I have no idea what I had on my previous TnT 4.40 ROM but I never had the slow down that I had last night either.
[G Tablet Android Development] Razor1973:
After my first reboot, Maps found my location right away, but crashed again after 3 seconds. I rebooted 3 times after that, all with the same exact result. As requested, here's my log. Thank you very much for looking into this.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trailblazerz11:
I am trying to make some minor changes to framework-res.apk in /res/values/bools.xml

I used apktool to decompile and make my changes but I am not sure how to properly re-compile.

Just "apktool b framework-res" errors out with invalid resource names.

Finally got it to re-compile by pasting the resource.arsc. from original apk(Dunno if this is correct way)

Then, after re-compile I paste the META-INF from the original apk.

I am hesitant to push this onto my phone now because to file sizes of the modified and original .apk differ by like 2mb. And theres 100 more files in /res of the modified .apk. (Now shows file I was trying to access by decompiling before)

Can I safely push the .apk? or am I doing it completly wrong?

Thanks!

( I did search forums and web before, but did not find anyone having to copy resource.arsc before re-compiling)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mDroidd:
FOr me, APKtool works as ****...

What you can do: pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk ~/backup

and then you can push. If it doesn't work, then boot into recovery, select mount system and push back the old one.

OT: I don't get why you should use original resources.arsc...

offtopic: when I decompile framework-res using apktool, I get other file structure then normal extract. example: my framework-res doenst have a raw-folder, but apktool decompiled has... :confused:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
This is due to the raw folder being combined into the resources file. Search for apkmultitool it is a far easier tool to use and will do everything you need. That goes for both posts

Before doing that, create a flashable zip containing the framework-res.apk file which you can use in case you get a black screen or something.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
I need to edit the bools.xml file in framework-res.apk and an a bit stuck on the apktool. I used the APK Multitool to decompile the framework-res.apk file. I then used notepad++ to edit the bools.xml file. I then recompiled it using the APK Multitool and pushed it to /system/framework overwriting the original (after first making a copy of the original). On reboot the phone is stuck in a boot loop.

I managed to use ADB shell to restore the original file and it now boots (I lost all the synchronise stuff but not a big deal). So I have been searching and have found various posts about the later versions of apktool not working very well.

I have a fairly clean Windows 7 x86 installation with Java 1.6 and am using this to do the work on. Can someone point me in the right direction as to how to edit/recompile the framework-res.apk file?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -yasser-:
I actually also trying to edit bools.xml located in framework-res.apk

I'm using Apk Changer it may be easier.

after some tries (and bootloops) I've managed to do some changes in framework-res : replacing pictures -> It works

after decompiling the apk, when I edit values within bools.xml , & then choose to compile, it creates a folder called "keep" and i have to delete edited files in that folder so as to replace them by my customized files.

BUT I don't find the folder "values" that contains bools.xml . Therefore, the generated apk will not make changes done in bools.xml .

Does anyone has any idea about Editing that xml ?

The values folders get compressed into the resources.arsc file so in the keep folder delete this file and your changes will stick
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wes342:
not sure if you got this figured out yet but if not heres how the whole process should go.

apktool if framework-res.apk

if on a sense based rom do this too

apktool if com.htc.resources.apk

change to the directory where your framework-res.apk is

apktool d -f framework-res.apk out

or something like this if apktool is not in your path

apktool d -f ~/Desktop/framework-res.apk ~/Desktop/out

easy way to build is to cd to out folder

cd ~/Desktop/out

to build apk

apktool b

then just sign apk if needed

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
Thanks for this. This is what I have done but it hasn't worked for me so far. I am not sure whether I need to sign the file or not - I suspect I do?

Apart from the boot-loop another thing that worries me is the file sizes - the original framework-res.apk is 6,135,120-bytes whilst the new one is 3,319,608-bytes.

My ROM is based on the stock rooted 3.12.405.1 by nitro. The framework-res.apk already had a modification (the default wallpaper was changed) and I changed this back by just replacing the image in the .apk from WinRar and this worked fine. I want to edit the bools.xml file and get it back into the resources.arsc file.

No you don't have to sign the framework API. System apks are signed. What edits are you trying to do?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
All I want to edit is the bools.xml file so I can enable the SIP client to work over 3G: i.e. change this line in the file and re-cook it

This is potentially the 1st step though. If I can sucessfully edit this then I will probably try other things.

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Ok so here is a step by step that I have used to make just this edit.

Apkmultitool is the one I use.

1. Decompile the apk

2. Change the false to true

3. Compile with option 11

4. In the keep folder delete the resource.asc file and then finish compiling.

5. Put New apk in zip removing the unsigned so it is named properly

6. Flash
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
OK - just removed and reinstalled APK Multitool, verified the path environment variable and followed these steps - Step 3 where it asks whether this is a system apk I said yes and when it asks about copying files I said yes. The resulting file is now 5,653KB compared to the original that is 5,992KB. I assume the difference is the lack of signing?

Does this sound right?

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
That and the compression level that is used. It will also change if you optimize the pngs. Nothing to really worry about
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ADB100:
I am obviously doing something fundamentally wrong :(

I followed the instructions to the letter, created the unsignedframework-res.apk, renamed it, pushed it to to my device (adb remount, adb push framework-res.apk system/framework/framework-res.apk) and rebooted - boot loop. Tried signing it with APK Multitool and then pushing this file. This time it booted but I had forced close on all sorts of things. Restored the original file and it is working again but all the sync stuff has screwed up meaning I need to re-flash as my ROM has stuff in /data that will get wiped if I do a factory reset.

Any other pointers or do you want to try editing the file for me and I'll see if yours works? I have attached the original file.

Andy
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -yasser-:
I've tried to change it for you,

<bool name="config_sip_wifi_only">false</bool>

The file size is reduced to 3.23 Mb maybe it's bcz of optimizing effect..

check if it works .
