[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spqr63:
Hi guys, I am new at the Forum.

I've installed on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus the Go Keyboard app along with the Italian one.

I don't know what has happened but the Italian language works in swipe mode only when the phone is in horizontal position, while it is vertical it works only in T9 mode and single keys.

The English keyboard works properly in both ways.

This is something that I've only experienced recently as it had always worked properly either vertical or horizontally.

Is there anything I'm missing or I've wrongly touched in the settings? I've tried to configure it again but without being successfully and I'm afraid I've messed it up during those attempts.

Thanks a lot in advance,

Fabio

P.S. now that I found this Forum, I will bother you a lot...for sure :D
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
Can someone please tell me where I can find this on the (rooted) stock gingerbread 2.3.3 for the Verizon D2G?

On every droid device I have owned these settings have been here (all HTC tho).

I want to make some sync setting changes but cannot find anything aside from the Background Data and Auto Sync boxes. The Actually accounts, both Goggle and other social media networks are missing.

Could this be due to me using the 4 corner press to bypass the activation call at the start?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Blur has Settings → Accounts (My Accounts app). You can find the sync settings there; tap an account to edit them.
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
Hi, thanks for the reply.

In Settings I have:

Wireless and Networks

Call Settings

Sound

Display

Battery and Data Manager

Backup Assistant

Location and Security

Applications

Privacy

Storage

Language and Keyboard

Voice input/output

Accessibility

Data and time

About Phone

The my accounts app is also missing. I have reset the phone back to default using the reset option in settings.

Any other ideas?
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
Update:

I may know why it is missing. I used Titanium to remove some Verizon apps, "My Accounts" included.

Restoring it does not appear to work. Since it tells me the app was not installed.

Does anyone know of a way I can slip stream the apk in there, or where I can find the APK?

Thanks!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Attached .apk and .odex.
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
Sorry for the n00b Q here.

Where do I place the .odex?

I have only ever installed from APK. Never seen/used .odex.

Thanks for the post though! WIll save me hopefully from an SBF.

- EDIT: I think I know what an ODEX is now, just need to know where to place it before or after installing the APK.

Since I likley need to use ADB to do this and push the files if one could provide the CMD for pushing these and to which DIR they need to go I would be great-full

Thanks
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
UPDATE :

I used Astro to drop these into the /system/app folder and I still have them there.

Does anyone know why I cannot find Settings → Accounts (My Accounts app).

Do I need the MyAccount.APK? Does anyone have this?

Thanks!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
I don't have anything like that (“MyAccount.apk”) on my stock rooted 4.5.608.

I can make a nandroid backup and upload the /system image, though, if that's fine with you.
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
Sure I would love that.

Failing that, may have to SBF I guess.

Let me know when and if you post nandroid..

Thanks!
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
See PM.

The file is, however, is a regular TAR archive (as CWM 5 uses those now), and you can open it with Total Commander, 7-Zip, WinRAR and the likes. Inside it you can find the entire /system/app directory as it exists on my phone. Some apps are frozen; you might also be interested in some changes I made to /system/build.prop (since you're a GSM user judging by your country of residence, you can safely copy it after backing up yours) — it has some tweaks added to improve GSM performance.
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
So after looking through your app folder, I discovered that the missing app I was in need of was called Setup.apk.

Now when I go to settings, I have the "Accounts" option.

Can't seem to add facebook to it. But I can live with this.

Thanks again for all the help.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Do you mean the stock Facebook plugin or the official Facebook app?
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
When you go into Accounts from Settings (which I was missing but have now corrected) and then click on Add Account. It shows me the options. Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook etc.

I click Facebook and nothing happens, when I click the others it lets me add a new or another account.

Facebook seems like it is just dead.

The Facebook for Android App is installed and the blur.facebook,apk or whatever it was called is still there too (assuming this is the stock plugin.)

UPDATE: I giess many ROMS don't allow FB for Android to sync contacts due to some fight with Google and Facebook.

So using an app like friend caster from one louder lets me sync some data but not all.

I guess the Sense ROMS I am used to have Facebook Sync built in. This ROM does not, nor does it allow it fully.

Thanks.
[Droid 2 Global General] barryweston:
Here is how I found this out:

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/22/google-disables-contact-sync-in-facebook-for-android-only-nexus/

The final OTA for the D2G is also 2.3.3...same as what was talked about in the article.
[Droid 2 Global General] Gasai Yuno:
Did you freeze/remove the Facebook plugin, blur_facebook.apk?
[Droid 2 Global General] sd_shadow:
Facebook was working for me when I was on stock 2.3.3/4.5.608

but it did change with gingerbread

but it doesn't work on most custom ROMs

the android version 2.3.3. almost doesn't matter, with all the changes verizon/motorola make to it

so you can't really compare phones made by other manufactures

I still think you need to SBF to get things working again, or at least, do a reset/ delete data

edit: when i was still on stock GB i froze a bunch of apps, and one of them broke facebook

I unfroze them but facebook would not work, tried a few different things, fix permissions, reboot, clear cache/data for apps, but ended up doing a wipe data/reset and that fixed it

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] silverfvck:
Yep! Bootloader unlocked will cause my phone to have a fail update?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dioggo92:
How did you unlock the bootloader? There is a way that you loose the official updates and another that you don't
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] silverfvck:
I followed the instructions on SE site. :|
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dioggo92:
That way you loose the official update, even ota :s I'm still on stock because I want to learn more before I touch the bl, because of warranty too. I don't know if there's a way to get the updates back, I'm new to Sony Ericsson stuff, have my neo for a week now :p

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrearierJester1:
if you would like to update your phone with the latest or previous software with BL unlocked, you can use wotan server, its pretty easy and straight forward or you can use flashtool if you have the proper FTF files for your phone.

If you would like to relock your BL, then you can do so, since you used the SE procedure, here's how to relock your bootloader:

after relocking your bootloader, you can now use PC Companion to update your phone

Pinoy ka nga! Salamat! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrearierJester1:
heheheh no probs kababayan! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dioggo92:
If I someday need my warranty back, what is the best way to unlock the bl?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrearierJester1:
I suggest to use the SE unlock procedure as the other procedure (not sure what its called) aside from your cannot relock the bootloader, unlocking process is hard and complicated.

But DRM (where Track ID is using) will be totally gone once you unlocked the bootloader and you cannot get it back even if you relock BL. (just a heads up though)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
That's why I asked if its unlocked, and not if it's patched ;)

With patched bl you can still use official update service.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dioggo92:
but the other way "test point" the phone doesn't know if the bootloader is locked or not, isn't there a way to relock it anymore?

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:54 AM ----------

For newbies like me is normal that I miss some information xD
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DrearierJester1:
yeah that was "test point" thanks, I just forgot the name the time I posted my reply earlier. LOL! I'm not really sure but according to the thread I've read here on XDA, its not possible at the moment, so I suggest using the SE procedure which is pretty straight forward.

me too, I miss some info, noob here as well but, been here since I got xperia mini and I got xperia neo now! :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] dioggo92:
Xperia neo is an awesome phone :D

Concerning about the warranty, is it compatible with unlocking/re-locking the bl? I read a lot of threads but never read nothing that gives me a clear answer...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Madfysh:
By that method bootloader is not unlocked, but instead it's patched, so that it accept unsigned images. As far as I know, you can't "unpatch" it :)

Well, for start, the official online method warns you that you are loosing warranty by doing that. Did you really think they won't cover themself? :)

Anw, if you do the online unlock, you can lock it back, but it won't bring drm stuff like track id back, it's gone forever from your phone(but I see you already know that :) ).

Now in real life situation. I really doubt they will check if you still have drm stuff on your phone or if your bl is patched. They will most likely check if bl is locked or unlocked

[Kindle Fire General] soulstriderx:
Hello, here are the specs:

Device: Kindle Fire

OS version: 6.2.1

Desktop: Mac Mini (from 2010)

Desktop OS: OS X Lion

Problem: When the Kindle starts, it gets stuck in an endless loop, showing the Kindle Fire intro animation and rebooting.

Cause: After rooting the device using the Burrito Root method (using a PC), I tried to install the Android Market app. After a few unsuccessful tries, I made the stupid mistake to change the system/app permissions using the File Expert app. After realizing what I had done, I went back to change permissions to what they were before, apparently did this not work.

What I have tried so far:

I tried Kindle Fire Unbrick Utility to no avail. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428428

I then tried to fix it through the OS X Terminal

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
chmod 755 /system/app

Although adb seems to be recognizing my device when I input ./adb devices

I seem to have lost root. Here is a screen cap:

I also tried fastboot as suggested in the thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1399009&page=2

./fastboot-mac -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

...and it just gets stuck in <waiting for device>

Apparently I have lost super user permissions and can't trouble shoot my device. Is there a way to recover su access? Can I just flash the ROM and reinstall the stock firmware?

Please help me :(

Thanks in advance.
[Kindle Fire General] lmntone:
You don't have root on the adb shell. Did you tap on "Root" and then run "adb kill-server" and "adb root"? That should give you root on the adb shell. You would then run the following...

adb remount
adb chown 0.0 /system/app
adb chown 0.0 /system/app/*
adb shell chmod 755 /system/app
adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/*
[Kindle Fire General] b63:
if you can't get root and have twrp available just reflash one of the prerooted stock roms:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402440

if not try to install fff and twrp from fastboot (use your corresponding mac commands)

first you will have to get to fastboot mode by

adb shell idme bootmode 4002

or

adb shell su -c "idme bootmode 4000"

and

adb reboot

if that don't work you can use this:

once you'r in fastboot mode you can install twrp with kfu and flash one of the above images with twrp
[Kindle Fire General] soulstriderx:
Followed the steps here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20927454&postcount=604

I just installed twrp and it boots into the yellow triangle.

After that, I downloaded KF Stock Secure Boot (What's the difference between secure and unsecure?)

I moved the contents in the zip to the directory where my fastboot app lies, including the boot.img

Did this:

sudo ./fastboot boot boot.img

The Kindle Fire restarted, booted into KF os (with the kindle fire animated logo and all), but went back to the previous boot loop.

I am now downloading the KF Stock Boot to try booting from that.

I went to check my /system/ permissions and got this:

drwxr-xr-x root root 1969-12-31 16:00 lost+found

Permissions are still messed up. Is there a way to fix permissions before attempting to boot from the downloaded stock?

Thanks for the response by the way!
[Kindle Fire General] lmntone:
Change the bootmode back to normal with...

fastboot oem idme bootmode 4000

Then boot into TWRP, go to Mount and tap on system. Then correct the permissions with...

adb shell chmod 755 /systme/app
[Kindle Fire General] soulstriderx:
While stuck in the boot loop I did what you told me to:

sudo ./fastboot -i 0x1949 oem idme bootmode 4000

It sits on <waiting for device>

I hard reset the device with the power button, then three dots appear in terminal "..."

Kindle boots up to the Yellow Triangle and stays there.

Did I mess up?
[Kindle Fire General] soulstriderx:
I DID IT! Thanks for the help.

I was finally able to boot into TWRP and followed the steps you mention. I will turn this into a How To.

Dear XDA'ers,

I was wondering how i can (kind of) format my Samsung galaxy S2 Completely and install a new custom rom on it. Every time i install a new rom and do cache wipe and user data wipe in CMW then it does not make it clean how i want it to be. I want a COMPLETELY format for my device. How do i do this and any guides available on how to do this?

I also was wondering if the official ICS V4.0 is already released for the samsung galaxy s2? Any link? Or are there good alternatives for it at the moment?

I also have a question about the battery life, are there any apps/roms or settings for it to make it last longer?

Excuse me??!!

There are

no

official ICS ROMS for the SGS2, buggy or not.

Don't post misleading - i.e., wrong - information.

OP, I'd advise you not to try any ICS ROM. You're new, and you'd be better trying a 2.3.6 ROM instead, honestly.

Search the threads, there are many good alternatives.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
^^

+32 this. Excellent advice from my most learned colleague B3311. Please steer clear of any of the ICS builds out at the moment, a disaster just waiting to happen IMHO.

So far as battery life & different roms go, you are only going to find this out by trying different roms for yourself. You will not have the same experience with a rom as anyone else on here (different phone setup, different usage, phone differs slightly component wise).

There are no shortcuts. If you don't wish to do the research yourself, do everyone else on here and yourself a big favour and keep your phone stock. Regardless of what anyone on here might tell you, the phone is fantastic on stock firmware (tho obviously you can make it even more fantastic by running non-stock firmware if you're prepared to do the hard yards).
