Clickme for the right forum.

i9100 roms need to be hellraised to work on the AT&T SGS2, as the audio blobs and keymappings wont work otherwise.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] StressFull:
Probably stupid but I did it several times and it always works : Speedtest reports much lower wifi speeds when the device is held vertically compared to when it is held horizontally.

Using Wifi N (20 Mhz), I reach 8Mbps close to hotspot for both horizontal & vertical, but when 15m away, I reach 3.5 Mbps horizontally and only 0.8 vertically.

Will probably return it this week :( !

How about you broadcast a different channel or set your main band to wireless g

i got a problem that i need help with.

i wanna change the background and color text of 3 pop ups:-

1 - the popup background that appears when you press the left button on the home screen.

2 - the popup background that appears when you press the left botton while in the app draw.

3 - the popup that appears when you long press the power button.

now i think the files that i need to change are in framework-res.apk in a few of the .xmls that are in there.

but my problem is that i cant seem to find which ones to edit. thats if im even in the right ball park. can someone point me in the right direction please. thats if it can be done. im using a stock rom if that helps :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
Use metamorph on cm7

Or use uot kitchen or use

Or use 7-zip and photoshop

not on cm7. like stock rom and really like nims infinity rom. so basically trying to make a stock rom transparent like his. just tried uto and it only changed 2 of them. still having trouble with 1 thanks tho
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] aayushARM:
Hi! I've an answer for you!!

The popup you're talking about is called OptionsMenu. In framework-res.apk, under drawable mdpi/hdpi, there are two PNGs, named menu_background.9.png and menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png. The 1st one stands for the popups in setttings, and other apps. And the secon stands for launcherapp, etc. Change these PNGs with your's...................

Hope it helps........;)

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ns4smi:
I love these ports but battery life has been poor to average at best with normal use. (8-10 on MikeyMikes about 11-13 on Boosts respectively ) Here are all adjustments so far

- running at 100-1.2mhz on conservative

- UV at -100 across the board

- underclocked at 800 when screens off, in call , and less then 50%

- Thunderbolt scripts added

- auto brightness and power saver mode turned off, set at about 20%, Black wallpaper

- Background sync, Google backup, and email sync turned off

Anymore suggestions that have worked out for other users?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] GuyIncognito721:
You're doing all the right things.

You could try undervolting a little more I can get mine to about -220mV across the board)

You can try disabling notifications in Market

You can try disabling notifications in calendar

If you use beautiful widgets or something similar you can adjust the refresh rate of the weather

Make sure notifications for facebook and twitter are off

That's all I can think of off the top of my head
[Samsung Infuse 4G] hollywood528:
I am also running boosted MIUI,

~running 100-1200mhz conservative and 100-800mhz conservative when screen is off.

~I only undervolted -50mv @ 100mhz, -50mv @ 200mhz, -25mv @ 400mhz, and -25mv @ 800mhz.

~NO thunderbolt script added, it says on the boosted MIUI that it already has battery performance tweaks

~I have background sync, Google and email and Facebook all set to the longest interval to sync

~automatic brightness enabled

~never really use WIFI, never use GPS (I cant even get a lock anyway, accurate to 2000 meters does me no good, haha)

Under normal use (texting throughout the day, playing games for 30 min to an hour, and browsing the internet for an hour or two, and maybe a few short phone calls) I can easily get 18 hours.

I have gotten 48 hours out of the phone, but the screen was off most of the time and I only text messaged during that time.

Under heavy use (playing GTA or watching movies) I get about 8 hours or so.

Have you tried draining the battery completely and then letting it do a full charge?

Before "boosted MIUI" I could barely get half a day out of the phone... it's nice only charging the phone every other day, and not having to carry a charger wherever I go. Boosted has by far, given me the best battery life.

Also... what kernel and modem are you running?

I'm using CWM Community Kernel, and UCKL2 modem, I do believe the modem has something to do with battery life... and how long it takes to charge... I think... it seems to me it charges fastest with the UCKL2 modem... I have tried every other modem.

Hi 2days ago I tried to root my device by looking at the info from the website

http://eeepadhacks.net/transformer-hacks/how-to-root-eeepad-transformer-honeycomb-3-2/

They give you a zip with firmware and adb to make it easier to root

I did the steps there and some things did not work

Right now I have an old firmware and it won't let me update to the regular real firmware

I tried nachoroot which wouldnt show I'd of 0 after 5 times trying the process from the begining

I tried unrooting by suggestions from here

Any help is very much appreciated I understand a new android version should be available soon I hope this will still let me upgrade android although I can't seem to update firmware

Isn't 8.6.5.21 the latest firmware?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] satanshiro:
Its possible I am just confused for some reason I thought that there is a 9. Something firmware when I just got the device I updated the firmware I thought I got it to a 9

something. wow this is emberrassing

So what I have is definitely the new firmware? Hmm then why can't I root?

my SN begins with BC and ends with 89

Is it rootable? I only saw ppl talking about other serial numbers like B80 etc...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseballfanz:
Your tablet should be rootable but not with the method you linked above.

Try NachoRoot again or ViperMod which use NachoRoot but it does all the steps for you.

Another option is down grade to 8.6.6.19 and use RazorClaw.

Ive recently had a problem with my wifi calling in that I am able to make calls just fine but am unable to send text messages. The message just constantly says sending but never goes through until i turn off the wifi calling. Is the wifi calling only meant for calls and prevents messages from being sent?

Soundbooster

If you want only to boost the volume on samsung you must copy a file to

/data folder (rooted phone). See attachement.

Unpack on pc and copy it to the phone /data folder.

This file only works if your phone has /system/lib/libsamsungSoundbooster.so

and libsamsungAcousticeq.so files on it.

Hello, well i tried to search for good combinations, but nothing seemed to work so far. First of all i installed CM 7.1 mod, then villainrom, then foxhound and etc. Now my battery drains so fast and i want to start like from begining. Can you guys advise me a good rom and kernel to suit my needs? I need smooth uiand good battery life. I would like to get a mod that would be not far from original rom, it should be optimized, all the unnecesary programs should be cleaned, all the logs and debuggings and etc off so i could get max out from my battery life and performance. (Like speed mod kernel (using it atm))

Oh and I'm now using speedmod kernel and batista70 foxhound edition 3.0 - xwkl1, but my baseband version is i9100xxkl1, does that make difference of the baseband version? And is that combination is good? Thanks for your answers.

There is no best rom, if your battery is draining, check for wakelocks using betterbatterystats (see my sig).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
Do the thing that Veyka has said. Click the link on his sig. Download the app. Betterbatterystats. Find out what causes the wakelocks under partial wakelocks first. then remove or freeze using titanium backup the app that causes the drain. Simple as that. Regarding kernel and rom. For you i would suggest speedmod. No need to tweak around with it or nothing. Just flash away and let the kernel do its job for you. Regarding rom..All roms are good..It is down to you to find the one that meets your needs..Good luck

Hey everyone,

The recent events with MegaUpload have resulted in a variety of file sharing sites discontinuing their services. I'm posting this thread as I read a Lifehacker article today which explicitly states sites that have begun shuttering their services. I'm just passing info you all may find resourceful. Here is a link to the article:

http://lifehacker.com/5878480/the-state-of-filesharing-websites
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Yeah not surprising. Still hundreds of others to choose from, but it's a bad sign when sites are doing this. I like uploading to 10+ sources then another copy on my trusty HD. The sad thing is this is done with our current laws, think about what could be done if a new law passes that doesn't require sites to be on trial. Internet destroyed.
[Droid Incredible General] D-Lew:
Not surprising at all, except the shock I experienced when visiting their site. Wasn't expecting them to just disappear.

Everyone knows about Dropbox I guess, but one media sharing site I have always enjoyed is Mediafire. The one drawback is the max filesize is 200MB but it's proven itself useful to me several times. Just thought I would mention something nice that wasn't talked about in that article.
[Droid Incredible General] DustinBooyah:
It seems like the strategy is to shutter these services and then eliminate bittorrent so that most pirates' plan b is non-existant
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
There's so many other ways to pirate too that most people don't even know about :rolleyes:
[Droid Incredible General] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm sure there are plenty of alternatives, power to the user and whatnot. I was more so surprised at how several other sites immediately slowed or shut down once MegaUpload was taken down. I'm all for removal of sites that intentionally host pirated movies/music but it takes on another dimension when people with legitimate files have no access to them. Again, that's why you save your files in various locations.
[Droid Incredible General] j13smiley:
this... people need to realize what can happen if these new laws pass.

Hello everyone.

I readed a post about that google will do some changes on their policy about how the Android system should look like.

Android Blog

This should mean that Samsung must make their firmwares with Holo themed instead of touchwiz interface.

From the blog:

Just lovely I will say.. Finally we can enjoy the original google theme on our samsung phones.

And with this it should be no problem making a ICS rom for Galaxy S1 where samsung said that touchwiz couldnt run on that device.
[Galaxy S II General] dorian95:
It's only for developers, as far as I know.

That means, that we(clients), will use same old TouchWiz, and devs can make programms with Holo theme on it.
[Galaxy S II General] gr4ndm4st3r_bl4ck:
Actually , it states that only some pieces of software will be Holo themed , no one mentioned remowing touchwiz, you got it all wrong... They will just make it so their 4.0 os will be recognizable on any phone, i.e some of the vanilla AOSP look will be present on our phones.

None of this is actually confirmed or anything, for me it's only a rumor.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_main_app:
Like the title says why are apps allowed to read the contents of files on the SD card without asking permission? Apps have to ask to read SMS, Calendar, and everything else. It seems like a huge security hole to me. Thoughts?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_main_app:
Anybody? No thoughts or reasons at all?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sninkychan:
I believe that there's nothing secure that can be read from the SD card without explicit permissions. You need WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS to read secure settings... all your calendar data and so forth are either outside the handset or stored securely... etc.

However, I'm not an Android developer --
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidapk.net:
SD card functions as a storage device. So writing files on it should not require permissions. Only access to certain files/apps have to require permissions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTREME_GUNNA:
Have you tried fixing permissions? Don't know if it will work but its worth a try I guess.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_main_app:
To me it just seems like a security risk but then I guess Windows software allows the same thing and nothing can stop from reading contents of the hard drive. Still seems unsecure though that any platform, mobile or non-mobile would allow this behavior.

i've noticed that our phone's specs says GPS, which means it is not Assisted-GPS (which, by the way, uses cellular network to aid GPS system).

but on the phone's settings, there is an option to enable 'use wireless networks'. is this an option to turn on 'A-GPS'?

if so, having turned that option on, my old sony ericsson x10 mini pro can still get a fix in under 5 minutes. the galaxy w on the other hand, takes forever to get a GPS fix, and has fewer satellites found that the small x10 mini pro.

can this be solved by a fix, or our phone never really has a-gps capabilities?
