[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Thanks for the response, but what do I edit in settings.apk? I have read this more than a couple of times, but no one seems to be able to say what edits to make to the settings.apk. As far as the others ROMS go, I realize NFC works in other ROMS, but I'm trying to find an option to enable it in the Stock ROM. Any info you can provide would be great. Thanks.

Edit...I took a look at the setting.apk XML from a T-mobile phone that has NFC enabled and it seems to be the same as the settings.apk XML from the Skyrocket. This is the confusing part. Everyone seems to think the settings.apk app needs editing, but it is the same as ones in the versions of our phones that have working NFC. As a matter of fact, the NFC.apk apps are the same as well. This is why I am thinking it only needs the option added to the "Wireless an Netwok" menu in order for it to work (which is my original question on how to do so). Things just aren't adding up here?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
OK, so I've been looking around some more and I found something interesting.

The T-Mobile (T989) version of the Skyrocket has an extra file located in the settings.apk that the I727 AT&T Skyrocket doesn't appear to have in it's settings.apk.

This file is named "smali". Most of the rest of the settings.apk on both phones appear to be very similar. There are about 9 extra lines of code in the "manifest.xml" in the I727 but they do not appear to be related to Nfc operations at all.

This "smali" file in the settings.apk on the T-mobile phone contains a folder called "com" and the "com" folder contains three more folders called "android", "broadcom", and "samsung". The "broadcom" and "samsung" folders appear to contain information (code) about bluetooth operations. The 'android" folder is the interesting one. It contains a "settings" folder that has many other folders in it. Again, most interesting is a file called "Nfc". It contains 5 smali files that all contain code about Nfc functions. I think this may be the actual file(s) that AT&T had Samsung leave off of this phone (I727) so Nfc is not enabled.

So finally, my new question(s) is..........

Can anyone confirm that the exclusion of the "smali" file in the settings.apk on the Skyrocket is the reason we can not use Nfc?

-and-

Would it be safe or even possible to insert the "smali" file contained in the T-mobile settings.apk into the settings.apk of the AT&T Skyrocket phone and see if it would properly activate Nfc on the AT&T Skyrocket? If so, could this be done on the "stock" AT&T 2.3.6 ROM without being DeOdexed?

I realize this is a lot to ask, but this is the only way we can get NFC working on the stock ROM like it should be in the first place. Maybe one of the Devs that works with the skyrocket can help to answer some of these questions. Thanks to anyone that can help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] runandhide05:
This doesn't help u in your finally quest of enabling nfc, but the reason u see the smali folder in the decompiled system.apk for the T-Mobile apk is most likely because it is deodexed, and the apk that u are looking at from your skyrocket is not deodex. If u use apktool or something similar to apktool and decompile a non deodexed apk u will not see any smali file. The smali folder is basically the Java code that is in the system.odex file (layman's terms)

This is why most..or most ever apk edit is don't on an odex apk. Because without it being doedex u would have to edit both the apk and the odex file

To add

If can get your hands on a stock doedex sky rocket rom that's what u would want to use to compair the two with
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
I have compared the Stock SkyRocket ROM to both T-Mobiles ROM and the Superstock ROM. The SuperStock ROM is a DeOdexed AT&T version of what I have. The Stock ROM (on my phone) and the SuperStock ROM (DeOdexed) seem to be the same. I have not searched and compared every single file and line of code but the settings.apk and framework.apk and framework-res.apk files seem to be the same? The "smali"file folders that were located on the T-mobile ROM are not on the DeOdexed Stock ROM (atleast not that I have found. Unfortunately I have seem to come to the end of my abilities to do anything else. I just don't have the knowledge to go any further. Hopefully one of the DEVs around here could help out if they get the time. I know the effort would be appriciated, but it is up to them.. Most of them seem to be keeping pretty busy with updating their ROMS.

**edit** Ok, I spoke too soon. I found the "smali" files in the DeOdexed Superstock ROM. They are in the ".jar" files. The framework.jar file has the folder that has info about NFC in it. I just have no idea what to do with it from this point. I still think that everything that is needed for NFC to work is already in the Stock ROM, it just needs menu options to get to it.

Hi there

the pulled down notification bar in adfad666's CM7.2.0 A8 seems to have a bug - when I slide out a message it freezes the app and I cannot click anything anymore. I can only slide it open or close.

Is this a general rom issue of Cyanogen or Adfads build?
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Wipe dalvik cache and cache partition in recovery;)

Worked for me...

A weird thing was that sliding the notifications would almost clear them, they just got stuck...

Just wipe those;)
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cekuhnen:
sadly the wipe cleanup does not fix this freezing bug.

wiping a notification to the left still freezes the complete notification menu / bar.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
Yes, tried wiping dalvik AND /CACHE partition:

CWM>Advanced>wipe dalvik cache

CWM>Wipe cache partition
[Optimus One, P500, V General] cekuhnen:
I trust that in your case it worked - but after having wiped both caches it still freezes the slided buttons and only updates the information such as time sms count etc but you cannot move nor click anything anymore till I restart the phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] vlt96:
After you restart it works?? Mine didn't... glad wiping those worked... you can try using the power widget;)

I can't get into the recovery Menu by holding both the up and down volume buttons while holding the power button.

The only way i can get into recovery mode is by Using Rom Manager.

I rooted my phone using: Skyrocket-Easy-Root

Model: Samsung-sghi727

Android Version: 2.3.5

Kernal version: 2.6.35.11

Build number: GINGERBREAD.UCKJ2

I have: "SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones" installed on my computer.

I downloaded: SKYICECREAM RC6.75Z

I am concerned about flashing this Rom because I can't get into Recovery Mode.

This gets me into download Mode ( I am not sure what download mode is for)

Method 1: Key Combination 1 (recommended)

1. Remove your battery, external SD card and SIM card

2. Reinsert battery and battery cover.

3. Hold down both volume buttons and while holding them down plug the phone in.

Please tell me what is my next step to safely install this Rom. How do i get the Recovery menu to show by holding the 3 magic buttons?

This Skyrocket is my first Android Phone and I don't want to make any mistakes that will cause my phone to turn into a decoration in my home. thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Flipback123:
To put your i727 Skyrocket phone in recovery mode.

1 ) Turn your phone off. Power it off.

2 ) At the same time, press and hold volume up and down and power at the same time. Your phone will come on.

3 ) Keep holding even after the vibration.

4 ) When you see the first SAMSUNG white text, let go of the buttons.

I was holding all three buttons too long! and the phone kept vibrating and then would just boot up normal.

Step 4 was the most important. Good thing i got this part working! Newbie Mistake.

With HTC sense roms, when u sign into Google, it automatically downloads all ur apps from last time my device synced.

When I log into cm7 or miui, it doesn't automatically download any apps.

Is there something that HTC sense rom have that makes the apps download automatically?? If so, is it possible to have that implentes into cm7 or miui?, possibly on ICS as well?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Elloco305:
I'm not 100 on this but I do believe the reason for this awesome feature is 'HTC setup wizard'.

And if it is, I'm guessing just like everything else Sense, it wont be able to be ported/used since the framework is different.

Just got this new AT&T Avail (android 2.3), which I'm really happy with but its not on the list of supported devices to use with the AT&T Address book. Which I wouldn't give a damn about, if the Address Book wasn't needed to access AT&T's "My Messages" app.

So what do I need to do here? Change the IMEI? Yes, I read the sticky, and no, I will not need lube because I am in the legal right of way, because my device is on the list of supported devices for the My Messages app. :cool:

I'm not sure if I need to convince the app ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.voxmobili.attaddressbook&hl=en ) that I own a supported phone, or if I need to convince the server side that I own a supported phone. From my search here on XDA, it doesn't look like installing that app is going to be a cakewalk either. Even people who do have supported devices have a hard time re-installing this app.
[General Questions and Answers] rbeavers:
Google does all that for you in contacts!

Just search the market for a good messaging app.

IMHO.
[General Questions and Answers] BorrowADolla:
Acquiring a functional AT&T address book* is a prerequisite to getting AT&T's cloud service (aka My Messages). What it does is when you get a phone call or sms, you will also be alerted to that phone call or sms via desktop and tablet. The only way to do this with Google is to use Google Voice. The problem with that is the phone calls are routed through Google voice servers and there is a noticeable depreciation in quality.

I spent quite a bit of time looking for messaging app that will perform a similar function. After lots of searching I found android-notifier. Which isn't a cloud service but that's not the main problem. The main problem is that even though it has an .apk, that .apk is only used to broadcast to your desktop receiver. There is no .apk to receive notifications on other android devices (ie: my tablet).

*For further clarification, AT&T address book is a cloud based app. It can also be accessed from the desktop browser. Same with My Messages
[General Questions and Answers] rbeavers:
The model of phone in in the build.prop in the android software and can be changed. Sorry not a Developer.

It looks like AT&T should update their app for all their phones.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Please check your OS version in Settings. If Visionary worked for you, it means you're already on 2.2.1 and don't need to downgrade.

That should have been done the first step, not the last...

1. Not moving the whole folder named "root" to the root of the sd card. I had moved the files only, but I had to move the whole folder. DUH!??

Also, I didn't enter the space on the emulator after "su" command.

Then,

Method via ROM Manager

Launch RomManager.

Optional: Choose the first option in the app, Flash ClockworkMod Recovery to update to the latest version.

Select the Download ROM option from the main menu in the ROM Manager.

Select the CyanogenMod option, and then choose the latest version of CyanogenMod from the menu.

Optional: When you select the latest version of CyanogenMod, check the Google Apps* option.

Once the ROM is finished downloading, it asks if you would like to Backup Existing ROM and Wipe Data and Cache.

If Superuser prompts for root permissions check to Remember and then Allow.

The HTC Glacier will now reboot into the recovery, wipe data and cache, and then install CyanogenMod. When it's finished installing it will reboot into CyanogenMod.

And I'm crossing my fingers..

[GUIDE] Set up ADB & fastboot on Mac OSX

Make sure you have already downloaded the ADB & fastboot files and that they at located in a directory that is easy for you to find (example: /Users/home/Android-sdk/platform-tools).

1) you have two options for using ADB & fastboot:

open terminal and navigate to your directory containing ADB and fastboot **if using this method skip to step 5, also you should note that you will need to add "./" (without the quotes) to the beginning of each ADB or fastboot command (example: ./adb devices)**

configure ADB & fastboot to run natively (recommended) **if using this method proceed to next step**

2) make an entry in ~/.bash_profile configuration file by executing the following command in terminal:

nano ~/.bash_profile

3) the corresponding file will open in a text editor window, add the following line of text, save your changes, and exit text editor:

export PATH=${PATH}:your_sdk_dir

(example: export PATH=${PATH}:/Users/home/android-sdk/platform-tools)

4) execute the following command in terminal, then quit terminal:

source ~/.bash_profile

5) check if all is working by entering the following command in terminal (your phone should be connected to your Mac via USB and must have USB debugging enabled):

adb devices

(you should see your device serial number returned. if device is not found move on to step 6)

6) if necessary, install HTC driver, and run the above command again - can be done by:

installing naked htc driver (can be found in dev section)

installing PDAnet which installs the drivers for many Android devices

I have a problem with my Galaxy R. Yesterday, i installed infected rom with CWM. But the phone hangs at Galaxy R logo.

So I went flash back with odin but that doesn't work:

After first try with Odin, it says fail and my CWM was gone.

Now i have tried several times flashing an other stock ROM. When i flash some of them, i see it installs only 10%, always aborts on wrings factory.img or APP left above in Odin.

My computer maybe has a bad hard drive and it also runs within windows 8 on a virtual machine. But i can flash CWM on it!

After rebooting, CWM always says "installing update" after opening and verifying. But it can't go further!

I think that i must format the phone but can i do it with odin? Also, I haven't tried another computer yet. Please help!

Thank you!:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] CallMeVentus:
You should have done this prior to installing Infected ROM:

- Backup with CWM

- Factory reset

- Wipe cache

- Wipe Dalvik cache

- Format /system

- Mount /system and /data

- Install ROM

- If it fails do step 2 to 6 , then restore with your backup .

Remember this the next time you flash any ROM .
