[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sketchy_Whiskers:
Hello Everyone,

I am not new to android as I have had multiple android devices, however I purchased a SGS II from a friend and he rooted it. However, he does not remember what software he used to root it. So I used the one click method and it said it unrooted it no problem, however superuser and CWM is still installed and JD plus says it has root access. The kernel is XXKG3 and I installed and used it no problem. However, again when I go to CWM under current kernel: unknown. I tried everything I can think of, searched these forums the best I can and I still need help. Can anyone help me? If so, greatly appreciated.

Thank you for all your time

Have you tried flashing another kernel like siyah?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sketchy_Whiskers:
How will using that kernel help? Just out of curosity, I dont know too much
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You have not searched properly. All you had to do was use the search button use a few keywords and boom you have the results. But anyway here i go.

To root go into Chainfires thread that is in the original development and look for cf-root kernels. Flash that through odin and it gives you root and cwm recovery and manager. Once you have done that it basically roots your phone. Now if you want to unroot all you have to do is flash official firmware from Intratechs thread again in original development section and your phone will be unrooted..Guides on how to do that are in both threads and at the first page. Now this is were you come in:D

Read read read...read the information given in those threads and you should understand more and you should be fine.:) good luck

I find it annoying that ICS puts "albums" from all over the place in your gallery.

Anyone know if you can just show things like Camera, Videos and Downloads?

No joy in Q&A so wondered if anyone here knew?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] almightywhacko:
If you are talking about photos from Google+ and Picasa showing up in your gallery app, you should go to Settings > Accounts & Sync and stop syncing (uncheck) both Google+ and Picasa. Then go to Apps > All > Gallery and hit the "clear data" button.

Now when you go into your Gallery app it will only show photos from your installed camera apps, videos and any photos you have downloaded.

If you are trying to hide porn, put those photos in a folder with a period in front of it (ex: .no-no-pictures) and the Gallery app won't index it :)

If this still doesn't help, you could use the Quickpic gallery app. With Quickpic you can long-press any gallery and choose to permanently hide it.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] V3ng:
That worked perfectly, and makes total sense now!

Cheers.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tush:
You know, I don't have G+ listed in my accounts/sync page. On both my SGS2 and my TPrime. I would like to remove those pics from my gallery but keep Picasa. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like I can remove G+ without removing Picasa as well.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Which method worked? The quick pic app or other method.

Edit update: OK, that quickpic method works perfectly. You can use that app itself as album browser n just exclude photos/albums from it or you can hide them from all apps. When you choose to hide it adds that .nomedia file to directory you choose. It worked and now it won't show up in Gallery. Only thing though, I used quickpic to "UnHide" that directory and it doesn't work. At least in gallery app. It'll unhide in quickpic but still stays hidden from Gallery app. Don't get it..lol I used astro, es file explorer, and root explorer. All set to show hidden files. Can't find that file quickpic added to that directory to make it stay hidden from Gallery app. No big deal really but I like to always be able to revert stuff back if I want. ANYONE else notice this or know how to find that .nomedia file to delete it? To see if stuff reappears in gallery. Unhide method from quickpic doesn't work and stuff stays hidden in stock gallery app.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nakhon7:
I'm having the same problem. The gallery is showing all my pics from picasa and google plus. I went to my sync settings and neither picasa nor google plus shows up (and even if they did, I would still want google plus posts synced). Quickpic doesn't show any of the pictures, probably because they are stored online.

Any other ideas for cleaning up the mess in the ICS gallery?

EDIT- the Apps > All > Gallery "clear data" option worked for about a minute, then the gallery started adding picasa and google plus pics again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] xGary:
How about hiding all the pictures from my game data showing?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Nakhon7:
Alright I got it to work. This is what worked for me:

1. Go to Settings>Accounts & sync>Google Account> and uncheck Sync Google Photos and Sync Picasa Web Albums

2. Follow almightywacko's instructions above and go to Apps > All > Gallery and hit the "clear data" and "clear cache" buttons.

After that, open the Gallery and only the pics and videos stored on the device should be shown.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] V3ng:
The first bit. Sync settings and then clear data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hurley81388:
quick question- there are certain ROMs i like but i absolutely cannot stand the stock 2.3.6 browser (overscroll and no axis-locked scrolling) so i stay away from them. and i've tried all the well-known browsers available in the market and don't really like those either.

i love the stock 2.3.4 browser though like the one found in unnamed 2.2.1.

if i wanted to flash a ROM that didn't use the 2.3.4 browser, how do i replace the browser apks?

i can see where the browser apks are if i look at the zip files in just the standard file explorer in windows 7. can i just copy and paste to switch them or is there something more complex that needs to be done?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
You can just copy and paste the browser into a cwm flashable zip and then flash it. Nothing fancy. Just make sure the zip contained the browser before you pasted it

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kytrauma:
Or just replace the browser Apk in the system/app folder with root explorer or Astro file manager and reboot the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hurley81388:
thanks for the replies everyone- i'll change the browser apk in the zip file and flash the ROM to see if that works first.

another question about nandroid backup- i'm running rooted stock 2.3.4 with DD 1/2 kernel right now. i just created a nandroid of this image.

i'm thinking about trying out a few of the new ROMs that have popped up recently. if i decide i don't like any of them and want to revert to this nandroid, do i have to return to stock first or can i restore the image even while running a custom ROM?

and if i can just directly restore without having to revert to stock, do i wipe cache and dalvik before doing the nandroid restore? thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
You don't have to do any thing, just restore the nandroid backup and your phone will be back exactly as it was during the backup time, except for your sdcard

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] hurley81388:
thanks guys. i'm successfully making nandroid backups using the CWM version 5.0.2.7 that comes with DD 1/2. however, even after mounting the SD card it keeps saving these backups to the internal memory in the CWM folder.

i know there is an issue with this version of CWM mis-identifying the internal card as the external and vice-versa.

how can i make nandroid back-ups directly to the external sd card and restore them from the external sd card?

i can copy and paste the back-ups directly to the external SD card but i don't think CWM is recognizing the external SD card as a location that back-ups can be saved to.

EDIT: nevermind, just saw there was an option to backup to internal sd card which is actually the external sd card. don't know how i missed that before

[Epic 4G General] gooch1025:
I paid $1.99 and downloaded the Sixaxis Controller app for my Epic. I then needed a PS3 controller because I play Xbox 360. So I went down to the local Gamestop and traded in 3 crappy games and got $40. After subtracting my store credit, I only had to pay $14 for a brand new PS3 controller in the box! I then said to the guy, "That's a good price to pay for a controller, the funny thing is, I don't even own a PS3." He replied, "Really, what are you using this for then?" I said, "My phone." The look on his face was so funny, he was like "Huh?" I came home and hooked everything up, now I can play my emulators in style.

[Epic 4G General] gooch1025:
Lol I agree with you completely. I used to use the keyboard instead of the on-screen gamepad. The ps3 controller is the bomb though.

Just buggin out, me an my eye balls.
[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
Better yet, I downloaded the emanulator app but where can I download games from my pc to transfer and then, how do I connect my controller to my phone. Wow, I'm a noob right now. Maybe I can see if someone did a write up for all this.
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Okay you'll need an emulator idk n64oid or something then search for whatever game you want for example the legend of zelda ocarina of time ROM find a site and download the rom. Once that's done go into the sixaxis control app start it and when its done and says listening for controllers turn on the control. (Prior to this you'll need to hook up your ps3 control to your pc and change the bluetooth address via sixaxis pair tool by the dev) once that's done go into your emulator and go into input settings and start configuring the controls once done you'll be good to go!
[Epic 4G General] XxLostSoulxX:
Oh man just google it. haha real simple there are plenty of sites just gotta search for the name and at the end of it add rom or rom download. I.E if you wanted to download pokemon games: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Pokemon+Ruby+GBA+rom
[Epic 4G General] IronReaver17:
I shouldve done what you did!! (Cuts wrists in shame) I was in the same predicament as you, except I waited till I had 55 bucks to buy the PS3 controller :P I should trade in some of my old games too
[Epic 4G General] b16flybye:
Wow, I had no idea how easy it is to play mario and zelda snes games on here!! I went from learning that, to now modding my ps3 led's. I hate bouncing from thing to thing, but I can't resist.
[Epic 4G General] drunkskunk:
Does the controller work on stock el30?
[Epic 4G General] ÜBER™:
Probably... depends on if the stock kernel allows for the bluetooth stack to be reconfigured... ;)

That's why there's a compatibility checker in the market that's free.

[Epic 4G General] gooch1025:
I hear you man. They had one used controller there for $35 but some of the buttons were sticky. I think $55 for a ps3 controller is ridiculous but getting $40 off isn't bad. I wanted a new controller anyways to play my games. The n64, snes, and gba/gbc emulators work great. I love playing all the old classics.
[Epic 4G General] adelmundo:
You should go back to that Gamestop and starting playing games on your Epic with the Sixaxis controller in front of that same salesperson. That would really amaze him.

[Epic 4G General] SweetBearCub:
Way back when the Epic 4G was a new device (think release day August 31st, 2010, and maybe a few weeks prior to release), there were various threads on forums making reference to the TV-out feature. If I recall, there were also references to it on Samsung's website. Unfortunately, after the phone was released, that feature never materialized, and as far as I know, all mention of that feature for our phones is now gone from Samsung's website, though I haven't looked recently.

As near as I can tell, the feature was enabled in early beta builds, but never seen again.

To add it back, we'd need the HDMI driver files for the kernel, and that's something only Samsung has access to, unless someone can find what chips are responsible for it, and write a usable driver from scratch. Not exactly an easy task.

Plus, we don't know exactly why the feature was dropped. It could have been a request from Sprint, though I doubt that. It could have been because it was causing serious problems with other parts of the phone. Who knows?

Fun fact, this phone was also shipped with another feature that almost got the same treatment. The phone was shipped with v2.1, Eclair. One of the features of the home/desk multimedia dock was audio out from the phone when docked - But it would only work when the v2.2 Froyo update was rolled out. I'm not sure what became of it, if it even works now, or if it was eventually removed, as I have no dock to test it with. I hear the docks had design issues, such as bad placement when the phone was docked, causing the volume down key to be unintentionally pressed, which kinda makes listening to audio annoying.
[Epic 4G General] drunkskunk:
Please update me my kind sir. Do we have tv out with proper kernel and app or do we not. Thank you my kind little ol chap. Tea is calling, take care.
[Epic 4G General] Kalepsis:
Ok, I'm a noob to this forum, and I realize that. I also realize this is my first post, and that you may or may not pay attention to anything I'm about to tell you. Here goes anyway:

Actually, it does have TV out.

Sort of.

I plug my Epic into my TV often to watch movies, videos, look at photos, etc. which are not loaded on either of my game consoles or my computer. Here's the catch: I have a Samsung 52" LCD HDTV. It has a USB port on it (not HDMI quality, but stay with me here). If you have a Samsung TV that is less than four years old with a USB port (mine is labeled "Wiselink"), it should be able to read from your Epic.

I plug the cable into the TV and the phone, I get the prompt to use USB Mass Storage, and hit the button. The TV automatically recognizes the phone and asks if I'd like to play media from the device. In the Wiselink menu, I can scroll through all the videos, pictures, music, etc. loaded on the phone and view/play them on my TV.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, real-time video out (for playing games, etc.) is not possible with this phone, as SweetBearCub already said. I'd love to do that, because it would be nice to play Super Mario All Stars on my 52". But at least you know there IS a way you can pair it to a TV, even if you have to buy a Samsung TV to do so (they make the best stuff anyway, so why not?).

Edit: My phone is completely stock, not rooted. One of the reasons I registered for this forum.
[Epic 4G General] a454nova:
Welcome in to XDA!

:)

Putting your Epic in to mass storage is like sliding the SD card into the TV. Your TV is just reading the card through the phone. This will work with any USB device like say your PS3, Computer, or the Radio in your car.

The TV out (composite or HDMI) was left out of our phones and will never be supported. It was tried very hard by some of the best.

[HTC Inspire 4G] caddyman1989:
Hello,

I saw a youtube video yesterday about a guy with an inspire 4g having 2.3.5 update problems. well I commented on the video and asked what he was talking about because htc doesn't show that there is a new update except for the 2.3.3 update. And I can the guy is already running 2.3.3 because of the app drawer icon. has anyone recieved an update notification? To see what I am talking about search youtube for "HTC inspire 4g update problems" it's the first video on the list.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
There is no official 2.3.5 update for the inspire yet. That is a fact. But there are quite a few non official 2.3.5 ROMs out there. ;)

Edit: I just looked and only see August of 2011 2.3.3 youtube vids that fit that search criteria.
[HTC Inspire 4G] caddyman1989:
that's what i thought. i don't think the guy in the video is right.
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
As far as I know there is an unofficial 2.3.7 :) that's what I'm running right now :)
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
There are many unofficial versions. Is that even a Sense version? :rolleyes:

Nope :p sense was way to consuming :/ but I should have cleared my phone I just noticed how little memory was availiable :/ I usually have like 350mb but whatever Haha :p
[HTC Inspire 4G] Agoattamer:
So what does any of this have to do with OP? Senseless plugging?
[HTC Inspire 4G] toxicpaulution:
I was replying to you but to the op. There isn't an official 2.3.5+ if he was running 2.3.5 then he must have been using a custom rom and most likely was just trying to be cool or mislead people.
[Droid Incredible General] bukithd:
So I went on a flash binge last night going from MikG to Evervolv ICS to OMGB...

I got an SD Card blank error and tried formatting it, switching them out, etc...

I just flashed a sense rom(TeeROM) and got it to shut up after it gave me the warning by letting sense do the formatting.

I saw people on the nexus one with the same problem but no one else. Just don't panic if you start jumping across different editions of Android. Flash a sense rom and it should be fixed.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] twospirits:
The Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet's keyboard folio is a neat little accessory but there is one issue that drives me nuts. (Beside the loss of the USB port). and that is that the Ctrl key also activates the menu (any menu).

So whenever one tries to do a copy and paste using the usual Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V keys, the menu (of the app you are working in) pops up. :mad:

Someone suggested to edit the Generic.kl file in /System/usr/keylayout directory and I did, but that didn't work. (Unless i did it wrong).

I'm at a loss. Would anyone have a suggestion on how to remap that key to only be a standard Ctrl and not menu key?

TS
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pallensp:
Having the same issue.

But I'm using an external bluetooth keyboard: the logitech one, which was actually designed for the ipad.

I love it, its slim and very good quality keyboard.

Maybe some helpful links:

http://www.kandroid.org/online-pdk/guide/keymaps_keyboard_input.html

And this one has an explanation how this could be solved on a rooted thinkpad:

http://androidforums.com/ally-all-things-root/250271-re-map-key-keyboard.html
[Thinkpad Tablet General] jhankinson:
Ok, so I was able to remap some keys. Here is what I did.

The key layout files are stored in /system/usr/keylayout

The most important one seems to be Generic.kl which can be edited with a text editor, just use root explorer or the adb commands below. When I first tried my permissions were screwed up and I wrote the directions below but left them here in case they are helpful.

----------

(I edited gpio-keys.kl thinking it controlled the hard keys but it had no effect). While running the Thinkpad it seems as though I was unable to edit these files but I did get things to work using adb while booted into recovery. Here are the steps I took:

First reboot into ClockworkMod Recovery and plug in your thinkpad to your PC via USB

In CWR select Mounts and Storage then Select Mount /system (otherwise it seems adb can't access your system files)

On your computer run cmd and type adb devices (you should see a device listed, if not go check out the ADB setup guide). Now enter the following commands:

adb remount

adb pull /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

This will copy the Generic.kl file to your current directory (you can see it in the command prompt, typically it is C:\Users\[Your Username]\

Browse to the file make a copy of the unedited version and save your backup somewhere and then edit Generic.kl in a txt editor (I like Notepad++)

I changed key 150 EXPLORER to say key 150 MENU, which makes the browser key open the menu instead of your web browser.

After you made your changes save it and then use the following ADB commands to push it back and set the permissions:

adb push Generic.kl /system/usr/keylayout/

adb shell

chmod 644 /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

chown system.system /system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl

exit

adb reboot

Now your keys should be remapped!
