[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArcticWolf91:
Hey everyone, I was wondering if it was possible to have 720P recording with the front facing camera, like the Galaxy Nexus. Our 2 megapixel camera should be able to do it right? Or is there some other hardware limitation? Maybe one of our skilled developers can include this in their rom!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ArcticWolf91:
Hi everyone, I was wondering if there was a way to prevent an app from turning on the screen. Basically my messaging app turns on the screen every time I receive a text. I DON'T want this to happen. I am trying to find a way to stop this. I am rooted, so that is not a problem. Any suggestions?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Use third party messaging app.
[Blade General] flexiboi:
Hey guys, flex here. So the deal is that I bought my blade about 2 weeks ago. It's version 2.2 and I've been trying to customizate it for like one week now. At first I heard from someone that my device could have faster that it was when I bought it. So back then I didn't know anything about androids (neither I do now haha), so I just googled "how to make zte blade better" and found someone saying you can do it with Superuser. Downloaded Superuser from somewhere, installed the apk through my sd-card and thought for looong time how does it work and why hasn't my phone become any faster.. :-D

After that I tried still to find solution for this and began to understand what 'rooting' means. And this is where it got tricky. I have tried almost every way how to root, and the rooting programs say that my phone is already rooted, when it really _isn't_. Because all the programs said my phone iz rooted already, I have tried installing some custom ROMs, without any success. It always stays there when I install the clockwork recovery apk, open it and my phone says it's force shutdown, or it doesn't respond. Could it have something to do with the installed Superuser without rooted phone?

What should I do to fix this? :( Could you help me step-by-step how to root my phone and get some nice custom ROM. I'm not so good at these things as you may see.. :-D

PS. please don't say things like 'go check another threads' because I have checked EVERY of them, guys you are my last hope

Sincerely, flex
[Blade General] Rapier07:
Hey flex this thread has got a step by step guide just like you need

[Blade General] flexiboi:
Great, thanks! I will try that as soon I wake up tomorrow! :)
[Blade General] flexiboi:
It went well until this part:

Open the Device Manager.

Right-click on My Computer (Windows XP) or Computer (Windows Vista/7).

Click on Manage.

Click on Device Manager on the left.

You will probably see Unknown Device with ADB listed under it with a yellow exclamation mark.

Right-click on ADB.

Click on "Update Driver Software".

Click on "Browse my computer for driver software".

Click on "Let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer".

Click on "Have Disk".

Click on "Browse".

Navigate to "C:\android-sdk-windows\google-usb_driver" and select "android_winusb.inf".

I clicked "android_winusb.inf" but then it said that my computer doesn't support that filetype or something like that.. What to do now?
[Blade General] flexiboi:
Guys what does this mean "Open terminal and run the following commands"?

What is terminal and do I have to download it ?
[Blade General] lokaltrafik:
If youre using win 7/vista, just type in cmd in the start menu and press enter. Else just press win+r and then type cmd and press enter.

It should only say that if you try to open the file not going thru the steps above?
[Blade General] flexiboi:
the win+r thingie went well until there came command "exit" it said it didn't find and on the cmd it just closed the cmd
[Blade General] amelo007:
Bro, if you're computer recognizes your Blade, then you probably don't have to do the steps above. That stuff you posted is a "how-to" of installing the Blade drivers on to your computer

---------- Post added at 12:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 PM ----------

I mean, can you transfer files to/from your computer, and to/from your phone?
[Blade General] sm4tik:
You said you've read all the threads out there, but have you tried this. I had a stock 2.2 blade and when I first flashed a custom rom I had to use temporary root with z4root to install apps I needed (don't ask which cause I don't remember anymore ;) ). Anyhow, If you can't get permanent root for your blade working, You could try temporary rooting it and see how far it gets you :)

When I try to use dsp manager keep getting fc's. Cleared data in apps management can't uninstall and reinstall. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] appdroid:
Use titanium backup to uninstall and if still no go. than unzip other rom and take out dsp manager.apk and put that in ur system apps using root explorer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] projectdownset:
Do you use mobo video player? I had that for playing some of my video files and heard it conflicted with dsp manager. Once I uninstalled, no more force closing.

Hey thanks for the Reply.. Actually I just want to restore my Xperia Ray without flashing any ROM... Just want to make it clean..

Many things are okay but sadly I can't make a single call.

how do you do to activate or deactivate the pin code (the setup option doesn't work on my defy) ?

[Defy General] slivabox:
It's known bug, it doesn't work at all.

You ought to disable PIN check if you want use ICS on defy at the momet.

But you cannot disable it on ICS :D

CM9-ICS-MR1-120305-jordan for GB-Kernel by Quarx on Defy+ (coming from 2.3.4 Stock via 20120302) with CM9 Kernel from first Post:

Camera works including seamingly flawless video recording (1 minute+ including zooming). Replayable smoothly in Gallery and MX Player. Panorama FCs as expected.

One thing I'd like to have cleared though (maybe even from Quarx himself, as he has a Defy+). Battery seams to work only when flashing the Defy-Redlense-Battery-fix.zip on my Defy+. Currently without the fix, Battery Monitor shows capacity of 0mAh and no uncharging (and I suppose charging won't work either). With battery Fix I can only reach about 80% and only 4.1** Volts instead of Defy+s 4.3**V.

Any hints on what Kernel or Patches to use? The Rom is "advertised" as Defy+ Rom in its GB Version, suppose Quarx does not have this issue on his D+.

Thanks a ton for feedback.

Apart from that the current status and the progress are nothing less than stellar!
[Defy General] wyumhk:
CM9-ICS-MR1-120305-jordan (GB) :

1. battery fix seems to be included.

2. Video recording : 1st time start but FC, 2nd time takes around 18 sec, than stop and FC.

Red Lense normal Defy.

Thanks quarx for his new build.
[Defy General] :
thanks quarx I will try out this one the 5th of march,

[Defy General] 5pace:
Recording, camera perfectly work? Like if you record a minute's video, doesn't it FC and gets saved properly after recording? And in last, how's the lag? Is it still the same old laggy UI? Or it's a only because of Froyo kernel and Epsylon3's build?

New Defy (Froyo Kernel) By Quarx on the way!!

Just checked his server! :cool:
[Defy General] cristianosite:
Acctually no. I am with 5th Mar Quarx plus GB Kernel (red lens). After 1 min and 24 sec recording, making zoon in an out, I got a FC in camera and I can not find the movie. I guess it was not stored. Also, the system is a bit more laggy than before (froyo kernel). And still has the battery problem. I had to flash the batterty fix.

I will wait for the new Build with Froyo.
[Defy General] djc151084:
Video recording is perfect for me , tested recording video just over 2 mins , recording and playback are fine. No lag anywhere but i do use apex launcher and not the default ics one, just because apex launcher got option to hide apps and lock desktop :-)

[Defy General] MartinTT:
Install this kernel.

After that download this battery fix and replace /bin/battd and /lib/libbattd.so with attached files + erase all files at /data/battd/ (see thread).

Deep sleep only worked by doing this:

Wipe data.

Install Quarx rom via restore (system & data).

Manually install the other parts via advanced restore (devtree, logo, restore except boot.img).

After that install new kernel by zip.

Reboot.

This is for defy+. Could work on defy although I´m not sure.

stuck on bootloader, flash SBF, wipe data/cache/dalvik and install cm9 and gapps again. phone works sometimes fine, but most of the time it looks like cpu is overloaded, and pone is very laggy, applications falls, battery drain is huge - from 100% to 10% during half day! i've tried CM9-ICS-MR1-120303-jordan.zip and today release but problem persist. i wipe cache/dalvik before and after cm9 install, but it no help.

Again, trying to record, after 2 min. movie, pushed stop button and app FC. No movie stored.
