[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
If Windows Phone is usable or not depends a lot on the users needs. For me it has already been usable before NoDo, even though I have to admit that it had - and in some aspects still has - some downsides. Coming from Windows Mobile and Android it took some time until I got used to the limitations and boundaries Windows Phone has but I have to say that I don't regret the switch I made and I will never ever go back. But like I said, it all depends on a users needs. Some want customization and openness, some don't. The former are definitely not the people that should buy and use Windows Phone as it's not very likely that the OS will change in such a direction. They're better off using Android which will fit their needs better.

[Acer Iconia A500] suomaf:
I think I soft bricked my a500. I made a backup using thor's recovery 1.6 and when i tried to restore, it complained of md5 error. So what I did was to make a new nandroid.md5 by deleting the old one and doind md5sum. It was able to do the recovery but it will not boot past the acer logo.

I can still see the stuff when I adb in recovery, especially /data/media but not booting past the acer logo. What can I do? Is there a boot log or something I can look at?

************* udpate there seems to be boot log file that I can find. I have installed 3.2 rooted stock via the recovery after wiping everything. It did not work. Changing another sdcard worked. So it seems that it was a bad sdcard that was causing the problem.

If mods see this, might want to delete this thread Cheers

hi guys i just bought this phone and i have a question. thanks for any suggestions

I downloaded an image at 550 × 1002 pixels, resized to 800x960, when i set as wallpaper it goes to crop screen and cant get fill image to become wallpaper. anyone know how to make it fit to screen without croping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
if you long press the image and select set wallpaper while looking at an image in the browser, it will not crop. Also if long pressed and set in some file explorers, their is no croping. Try Astro File manager.

i dont have a professional skills

afraid that i will make some damage with my phone

do you have any easier method?

and how to unroot?

thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zool84:
in the beginning i were afraid from odin but if you follow the steps nothing bad will happen, just do what's written and don't be afraid ;)

i'm not an advanced user but i think it's the only solution to root the phone the first time

to unroot you have only to flash back a stock kernel

edit: you can find on youtube videos showing you how to root with odin

From my experience, odin is the easiest! Of course, first time is scary. If you are using android, odin will be the app you will always use.

The steps are easy. Step by step. Just follow it and you will be fine. I follow those too.

That is based on your launcher. If you are using touchwiz, launcher pro, or go SMS launcher you can enable this feature. It will not work for Gmail because of something Google changed.

[General Questions and Answers] OX.Desire:

[General Questions and Answers] optimus x:
Depends on how you plan on your preference of listening to music. Google Music is great because it stores your songs on the cloud, so there's no need to store the mp3 on your phone. Spotify & Pandora are obviously great as far as streaming goes. As far as music players the Stock MIUI is really nice. Though the Sony Walkman music player is my current favorite due to the simplicity and being able to shake the phone to change songs.

[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dekar:
I’ve recently added some modifications to the Cyanogenmod kernel. They include overclocking up to 2ghz as well as lower idle voltages (undervolting) and a higher default maximum frequency. The maximum frequency is now 1516800hz by default. It can be changed up to 2016000hz. Frequencies higher than 1612800hz are unstable when using the ondemand governor on my phone, they seem to be stable when used with the performance governor or even the conservative one, so I think it might be related to the fast frequency switching. Near and at 2ghz the phone gets really hot in a matter of minutes so be careful, you can probably damage it using this kernel. Thus I take no responsibility for any damages resulting from using this kernel!

My frequency(in hz)/voltage(in mV)-table is the following:

245760 750

368640 800

768000 900

806400 925

1113600 1000

1209600 1050

1305600 1100

1401600 1150

1497600 1225

1516800 1225

1612800 1300

1708800 1450

1804800 1500

1920000 1500

2016000 1500

PS:

I just was able to lower the voltages a bit, I've attached the new kernel. I am running my phone at 1.92ghz and it seems to be pretty stable so far. I have to use it with the conservative governor, the ondemand and interactive ones make it lock up. Using the conservative one it clocks up and down on demand as well, though slower.

245760 750

368640 800

768000 900

806400 925

1113600 1000

1209600 1050

1305600 1100

1401600 1150

1516800 1200

1612800 1250

1708800 1300

1804800 1400

1920000 1450

2016000 1500

PPS:

I made a third version containing a crude hack to fix the problem with the governors. Now my phone runs at min 245mhz and max 1920mhz using the ondemand governor. So far everything is peachy :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
ILWT kernel is like a mirror of this.. :/
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dekar:
It doesn't allow frequencies that high, does it? I didn't actually try it, but the description only mentions lower frequencies.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Obviously that guy is a troll....IWLT does not offer frequencies up to 2ghz.

Anyway, us folks in the g2 section appreciate each and every kernel we get as they are RARE. Don't mind the trolls.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] erichung_13:
How was I trolling? I wasn't putting down the kernel or anything it was simply a neutral statement. Go back under your bridge.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
Great contribution to the thread.

How were you trolling? You come into the thread and write one sentence stating that its a mirror of another kernel (which its not) and then put a :/ face after it? Nuff said.

On another note, I fastbooted this kernel and its running great for me. Haven't perm flashed it yet though.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dekar:
It runs fine on my phone so far as well. But I wasn't expecting much trouble anyway since it is basically the latest CM kernel. The undervolting shouldn't be a problem for most phones and the extreme overclocking isn't active by default.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
How do you flash this kernel?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dekar:
It's easiest using fastboot and adb from the android sdk. I guess I could also build a flashable zip, but I don't feel like figuring how that works. If someone makes one, feel free to attach it here.

Flashing the kernel:

fastboot flash zimage zImage

Flashing the new WiFi module:

adb remount
adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules

After using my kernel for quite a while it seems to be pretty stable on my phone. Running at 2GHz I sometimes get random freezes, but 1.92GHz seems stable for daily use. I also tried playing 3d games on 1.92GHz for about half an hour and even though the phone got noticeably hot everything went peachy. :)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] G1ForFun:
I usually set the permissions once I push the new wifi module. Is that not neccessary?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dekar:
I don't think it is, at least not for being able to use it. It could have security implications, but I don't see any since adb runs in the root users context and thus the file would be owned by root. Users shouldn't be able to modify it in any way.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] xudsa II USERT:
Hi Dekar, do I need to use the new Wifi Kernel for this Kernel to function properly?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dekar:
Yeah you have to use the wifi module I've attached. If you have stability problems tell me and I'll upload the non-undervolted version I made for someone else.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] magus57:
What's battery life like with the undervolt? I'm currently using the stock CM7 kernel with 245/1113 interactive, with only data, sync, and auto-brightness (no GPS/Bluetooth/etc) in good coverage areas and I'm going like 1% down every 1-5 minutes or so of regular use (basically just web browsing and texting). Not sure if it's the settings or my (stock/original) battery or what.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] tarroyo:
Thats about normal for this kernel.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] Dekar:
Well I got my Vision used and it came with the Mugen 1800mAh extended battery, thus I can't really compare it to a stock one. Also I didn't use the stock kernel for long. But I am really pleased with the battery life, my G1 was far worse.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sharptv:
will this kernel work with ICS? Kindly advise.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] dietotherhythm:
tried on virtuous quattro, ended in a boot loop D:
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] amazinglarry311:
Hard reboot after logo screen back to recovery, zimage does not like my phone apparently. Tried several flashing methods. No go.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] biggrie:
Ok my understanding is that I can't copy these zips to my SD card root and flash with clockwork mod recovery? I'm fairly familiar with flashing cm roms but this will be my first kernel flash.

Also, if I preform a full back up, will that also backup my current kernel should I need to revert to it in the event this kernel doesn't mesh well with my hardware?

Thanks,

RiE

anyways I was taking the new year party photos with my s2. if its dark there is too much noise in the picture. if i use flash the photos are white washed. if i dont then the images are dark and there is too much noise. i'm not comparing but at the same time the photos taken on an iphone 4 where much better.....even with flash!!!!

Anybody have this problem?? or can anyone solve this problem for me???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikmir:
Hi people, this is my second Galaxy SII, but this time i got the "G" model. i am well aware of the difference between the chipset difference and the slow cpu blabla.. but what really shocekd me was that even the displays are not the same ! i original galaxy 2 has a deeper and richer colors and i can change them from standered to dynamic...

same option in G version, but when i change the display modes, there is no effect of the image (the one they show on top for comparison) plus, i have version 2.3.6 By ODIN, where my original is still running 2.3.5 .

**** IF SOME ONE CAN CONFIRM ON THEIR "G" MODEL THAT THEIR DISPLAY MODE WORKS OR HAS AN EFFECT FROM SLANDERED >DYNAMIC ---- AND BY THAT WHAT VERSION ARE THEY USING, I AM HOPING ITS DUE TO MY PERSONAL UPDATE THAT IS CAUSING THIS DIFFERENCE OR IS IT JUST THAT SAMSUNG fU**ED ME OVER SINCE IM A ASIAN !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ambar_hitman:
I checked mine, the changing modes make no difference in colors AT ALL. Even on max brightness. Let me check it on I9100.

Also, I disagree about the screen quality differences. The black levels in my I9100G are awesome, I cannot differentiate between black body of the phone and the black color on screen. Also, comparing it with I9100, the whites are also better, the whites on I9100 are more of yellow shade, whereas on I9100G are more on the whiter side. And the black levels are same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zikmir:
Exactly ! Your black Color is so black just like the body of the phone ! That is the exact case with my i9100 ! I agree with you 100% . But on my G version is not the same case which is the reason im am posting this question ! As i mentioned the colors in my G model seem Dull and less intense and the black seems as if it is being"lit" as a black color compared to the true black in the i9100. Please Tell me what is you version of firm ware on ur G. I have 2.3.6 on it.

Hope fully i hope its just some Bug thats is reducing the colors of my G models
