[Defy General] Mcdomms:
Wrong kernel

Hi remix,

the problem is probably due to wrong kernel. CM9 13th December uses the GB kernel, while MIUI still uses froyo kernel.

Here you can find both CM7 and CM9 kernels: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20148046&highlight=cm7+kernel#post20148046

If you want to do multiboot between ROMs that are based on different kernels, you'll have to flash the kernel, every time you want to use one or the other.

---------- Post added at 09:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Exactly carlo93. That's why I waited for a froyo based CM9 before multibooting it.

I use WaikIUI (GB2.1.20) as base ROM, and Quarx CM9 build as secondary, and everything works smoothly.

Another suggestions. Never wipe data on the latest recovery; this erases android-secure folder in the sdcard (damaging your base ROM). Instead you can simply start from fresh fsimages.
[Defy General] antukubo:
info:

primary (nandroid) - CM9 111213 --> GBread/CM9 kernel

virtual (sdcard) - Miui --> Froyo/CM7 kernel

Boot to virtual:

- boot to 'Stable Recovery'

- flash 'CM7-kernel'

- reboot --> boot --> 2nd boot

Boot back to primary:

- boot to 'Stable Recovery'

- flash 'CM9-kernel'

- reboot

hope this helps :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStigx:
Hello

I just found out that you can update your SG2 from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6, with odin.

Is that safe? Is there a risc of bricking your SG2?

Also

If it is safe, would you recommend doing it?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GJ123:
It does not make a huge difference, and yes there is always a risk of bricking especially when using Odin.

Odin is like open heart surgery if you know how to do it you'll mostly manage,if not you might kill.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nyssa1104:
OP Yes, Yes and Yes.

If you read all info before blind flash as many do and cry wolf there after you'll be fine. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStigx:
Haha, Thanks Guys ;) Just that info I needed. I think I am gonna stay off it, as ICS is right around the corner :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayel84:
Well...

i can tell you from my own experience (it doesnt matter)

i just softbricked my phone today trying to go ICS beta mods, but quickly found out that waiting for the real deal would be worth the wait!

I have been flashing my SGS2 at least 10 or 20 times today, trying to find the EXACT version of firmware i had before i was so stupid to try the ICS mods!

Stay away, is my word of warning! especially if you dont have backup firmware, and spend an entire day searching for a solution :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veyka:
Pleases read me.

Odin is safe enough if you know what you are doing.

Pleases note that the ICS roms we have at the moment are beta quality at best and not really recommended for standard users.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStigx:
Thanks Guys :) But I am gonna stick with 2.3.5 for now :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:

[Motorola Droid X2] addisoj:
First off, I LOVE CM7 on my DX2. Having very few concerns with it. Seems to be very stable.

I've read several other threads on the bluetooth MAP profile being implemented for CM7 on the DX2. All other threads talk about the Ford Sync/My Touch systems.

I was wanting to try it on a Toyota Entune equipped vehicle. I work for Toyota and would be very willing to alpha/beta test a ROM that supports this MAP (Messaging Access Profile) feature.

Does anyone know if CM7 has this support or is it on the horizon?

Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
I have a text message saved in an old ROM backup file that Go SMS didn't save prior to the backup. (Funny...I backuped the messages right before switching ROMs and it failed to backup ONLY the series of messages that I missed.)

I'd rather not have to downgrade the firmware and reflash the gingerbread ROM in order to get these messages.

Is there a way to extract files from a saved ROM file?

And if I can, does anyone know where I should look in the directory structure? Go SMS was the messaging app if that makes a difference on where it would have saved the messages.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
Try this app: http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...-rom-manager-had-a-baby-with-titanium-backup/

If the app doesn't work you could try this: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/g1m9x/is_there_a_way_to_extract_sms_logs_from_a/
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Neat! I will try those
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
Well I'm half way there. Things I've learned for reference to people of the future who find this thread....

The messages are stored in

/data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/

CM7 stores messages differently than most other ROM's.

So you can't use the extraction method to replace messages from CM7 to another ROM.

Luckily I have a MT4G that still has CM7 loaded. So I could extract what I needed and install them there.

However I needed pictures from a message too. I'm still trying to find those. Any idea where those would be stored? They aren't part of the /data/data/com.android.providers/telephony/databases/ directory.

When I restored the messages all I get are the download links. And of course the links are expired.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Falkner09:
So a friend of mine whose number I didn't have sent me some texts yesterday. she asked if i got them, which I didn't. She had my phone number correct, though. so I added her to my contacts, and suddenly those two texts appeared, listed as sent yesterday.

Why would this happen? I've checked the settings for an ignore option, thinking maybe it was enabled, but can't find one.

Sorry to ask, but how to get this ROM? I've updated over Kies to KK5.

Just have the Note from 2 today, sorry for the silly question (;
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
You got the nordic firmware (KKx). LA4 is German, so you'll have to manually update it through Odin on your computer.

- Download here

If you're rooted, then updated through CWM or Odin Mobile Pro. That way you won't lose root and CWM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
Dont know how much u know about flashing.

If I were u , i will hold off flashing a new rom now.

Read around the forums ( i mean read a lot). Once u get the basics, start modding.

or else u will end up with a very expensive paper weight:)

Oh, it was a snap to update to LA4. Just go to settings then About Phone...then choose software update (Wi fi). Download is 15mb, phone will reboot itself. Last update I did was the same quick process. First update (2.3.6 from 2.3.5) I used Kies and a USB cable.

Samsung has been good about updates for the Note, yes? It's not even been 90 days yet, and this is what, update #3? I can almost taste the Ice Cream...

Is anyone else still having problems with random reboots? I've tried flashing multiple times can't really tell what's causing it to reboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] jsmitty90:
are you doing anything in specific when it reboots. In an older build of it, it would restart if you put it in landscape mode. not sure if that bug still exists
[HTC EVO 3D] ombguitarist:
Had the same problem with Alpha 1 but that was a known issue. It happened more than once while doing different things so I'm not really sure if it's something I was doing that's causing it. I installed it to rom 1 on boot manager and finally got it up and working with no reboots. Guess it was just a bad flash.
[HTC EVO 3D] ombguitarist:
Btw if any of you are having issues booting ICS with boot manager to get back to your phone rom all you have to do is the adb reboot bootloader then fastboot boot recovery.img then reinstall the .zip for your phone rom no wipe and it will take you back to it with all your data still intact.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ledlow:
Not sure if I am the only one that noticed, but the Google Voice favicon when you are logged in via the web has changed from the rounded bubble to a more squared off version (similar to Google Talk icon in Ice Cream Sandwich).

Thinking that eventually the Voice app on Android will get an update that might bring this icon to light, I've made the attached for those using Nova Launcher that want to get the look now.

UPDATE: On another glance I noticed that the favicon in Chrome was not even using the same phone, it looks to be the ICS phone icon, but slightly darker (original GV blue vs ICS Cyan-ish).

I've worked up an updated version, but leaving original attached too in case people prefer that one.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] justinjms:
I thought they had changed talk to the square bubble so it would look different from the voice icon!

Yes, I believed that to be the case.. to differentiate. Cuz its confusing as hell to someone who's not familiar..

Time to RUU if you rooted it, and take it back to Sprint. Before it gets worse, they most likely gave you a refurb. Probably will again, not a bad thing if it was refurbished correctly.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICODAN:
If they can't fix it they HAVE to order you a replacement phone NOT through asurion. So you shouldn't have to pay a dime. Then you will end up with 2 phones. Test out the second phone and see if it has any issues if it doesn't, great if it does, take it to the repair center and you can have them swap good parts for bad parts.
[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modmouse78:
well they couldn't fix it and said the evo shift is on back order. the place is third party sprint service. they told me to call customer service to get a replacement. just got off the phone with customer care after two hours and threatening to cancel my service. they are going to try and get me a phone from the closest corporate store.

[EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prboy1969:
Get the number yourself of the closest Sprint Corporate Store. They usually do service / repair. Call them or better yet go in. Explain to them what's going on. If your in store they will give you options of what they can do for you on the spot. They do not want you to leave the store with an unresolved issue. They get a corporate review quarterly. They will go out of their way to help, especially if your in the store. Try not to leave it up to some Sprint Rep, that might take a while. IMO always better to deal with someone in person ;) .

Well if they give you any grief, just remind them that you drove almost an hour to get there. If you get any resistance ask for the manager.

She put me on hold for a few minutes, and when she came back on the line, told me it wasn't letting her do it and she was sorry.
