[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Why do you want to format ALL of your partitions to EXT4? You phone needs a FAT32-partition as well.

So if the ROM you flashed or you want to flash needs an EXT4-partition, backup all important data on your SD card, boot into recovery and partition your SD card with FAT32-partition plus an EXT4-partition with 1 GB (I recommend 1 GB because it will be compatible with nearly every ROM you find here) and copy all data back on FAT32-partition.

You can do this operation either in recovery (worked always well for me) or with GParted. Just do not use software like MiniTool Partition Wizard or any other Windows software which "deals" with EXT-partitions, because these types are Linux-partition-types and I would not trust Windows there if you want to have the rewards of your SD card.

In Q&A you can and will find a very good noob guide which will help you a lot:

This is just not true. Recovery is an easy and very good way to partition your SD card and will work well nearly every time. I cannot remember any partitioning errors (can you name at least one anyway?) or rather problems caused by partition with recovery. As far as I remember, the causes were always crap software like Rom Manager or MiniTool Partition Wizard or something like that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bored_stupid:
Apologies, what i should have said was," could possibly cause problems ". I have occasionally had problems with some fussy roms boot-looping after installation, but after reformatting in Gparted, they have worked," this could be coincidence though ". I fully agree with you on the likes of Rom Manager and MiniTools.

I haven't recommended 4ext to anyone yet, Ive still been recommending what I mentioned, but Ive been using it solidly for a good few weeks now and I think I am about ready to start recommending it...

adb and fastboot are 2 totally different things. It just happens that they both are command line and used to communicate with your android phone. The similarity ends there.

Did you do a full wipe before you flashed the rom?

Go to 4ext recovery and find system size... You flashed RUU you need to wipe all partitions(except sd card) before you flash different ROM

Hi

I would like to know were is the setting when i am on a call and someone is trying to call it directly goes into voicemail

on my evo i would hear 2 beeps and i can see someone is trying to call me ??

I know there is a setting but i can't figure out were it is to allow incoming call while you are on the phone

any suggestion ?

Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rayprobg:
It should work by default, maybe check to see if you have internet calling enabled... if you do then you would be using a data connection for your calls, if you get a call come through while during a data connection there is a setting to send it to voicemail... I don't know if that helps at all but other than that I am at a loss as well.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] saj070:
No all my calls come through normal i do not use internet for calls. this is sprint service.

Like i said i use to work on EVO then i moved to S2 epic. I thought there might be a setting some were were i have to turn it on..

Hi, I have a question!

I'm absolutely happy with my HD2 but I'd like something that the performance increases.

Is there a possibility to overclock the GPU? Cpu is yes to either 1.2 GHz or 1.5 GHz but the power play in is not very noticeable so I would appreciate if you could overclock the gpu order to get more performance out there.!

know her as a possibility?

would answer me happy!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] elesbb:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Totalrapture:
So I've done a few roots before but each time I always do the same research, going through all of the guides and making sure I'm fully aware of everything that could factor in before proceeding (one bad experience'll do that to ya). I'm pretty sure I have everything together and just have three questions before I begin:

1) I have an AT&T Galaxy SII but am not sure whether or not I have the UCKK6 over the air update. How would I go about checking this?

2) I was mostly interested in Villainrom as a custom rom, however, I noticed that there is only a release in the international version of the Galaxy S II (at least as far as I can find). Do the differing features between the two phones mean that I am unable to install this? If so I was going to go with CM7 (I've been a CM fan for a while now and with ICS coming it was a close decision between the two), however, I noticed on their official site the phone pictured with the Galaxy SII section is the International version. This kinda ties back in with my first question, being I don't want to attempt to flash something that has a chance of not working

3) I planned on using superclick to root, and then I have mobile odin pro to flash the rom. As far as I know these are the only two programs/files I need for the process besides the Rom, is that correct?

Thank you for your time!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
1) Settings > About Phone > Android Version (2.3.6 = KK6, 2.3.4 = KH7)

2) Hellraiser (look in the development forums); you may have a problem with the links. Someone posted theirs, but I can't find it. Hopefully someone can post theirs here.

3) I don't know. I think it'd have to be a tar file. Typically, you want to get a CWM kernel and install from there (see stickies or development; somewhere around here there's a guide). Creepy Crawly's sticky in general is probably what you want. I only use mobile odin to flash modems and kernels; hadn't used it to flash an entire rom. The only other use I've seen others report is flashing firmwares.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jivy26:
1. Settings > about phone then scroll to the bottom.

2. Use hellraiser to run i9100 roms minus any ics roms. Look in developmentsection.

3. Look in sticky section for root instructions. After that mobile Odin a custom kernel then find the ROM you want flash in cwm then flash hellraiser package

There's no reason for you to be an asshole... I've flashed phones before. Because I wasn't sure whether this specific update info could be found in that section or not is the reason I asked. Sure I could've Googled it just as easily but I had a more important question to ask, namely the one referring to the use of international roms. I've been modifying devices for about six years now, from flashing/upgrading/downgrading PSPs, iPhones, rooting phones and various devices in between. Your advice I'm sure applies to some people but that doesn't mean you give it sounding like an elitist prick. Get over yourself, you're not some master flasher and you have no idea my specific experience. I'm waiting for an all in one because its easier and I don't necessarily NEED a rooted phone right now, not because I'm so technologically inept I couldn't figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
If you couldn't figure out something as basic as finding which ROM version your phone is running, then you certainly are likely to find yourself among those who come in here looking for help after a flash goes bad. The forums are littered with them. I wasn't trying to sound like a prick (although I often do) with that reply, I was just encouraging you to take my earlier advice on reading up more before attempting a flash. Everything you asked about could be answered by just doing a little research instead of starting a new thread.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] realfelix:
Is this noticeable if you do many things while listening to music? Like loading sites on facebook, browsing data-intensive sites or some things like that? Try not to do such things that are taxing the cpu too much else you will end up with music stuttering because the CPU is under pressure :P

and if it continues.. try to use poweramp or something like that..

lol not really, you can prove that to yourself.. by just get alot of apps running and fill up your ram a bit, then listen to music and try to multitask without any stuttering ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Tartabus:
Does the stuttering occur during normal music playback, or are you playing longer files (podcasts or mixtapes)? There is a bug where long audio files cause stuttering. There are a few work-arounds listed in the bug thread (which I can't link to as this is my first post), but they include enabling the FX Booster in Google Music, or using a third party app like DSPManager.

I'm using a couple ICS+sense roms that are giving me some issues with the Market. A bunch of apps aren't showing up including some that I paid for. It prob has something to do w/ me going from GB to ICS 4.0.1 aka CleanRom 2.1. Anyways, before I flashed these roms I was able to see all these apps in the Market that I can't now. Can someone explain how I can trick the Market into showing every app whether they're compatible with GB/ICS or not? If I have to pull my Market.apk and edit it, let me know how to do that or if there is a Market.apk out there that I can install over the current one I already have. If there's a way for me to keep that most updated market(3.4.4) that'd be great.

Thx for the help! -bal
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
I know, it sucks. Essentially I think you have to edit your build.prop. It'll be a pain to get it to work. If you can find someone that knows how to correctly edit the build.prop, I think you can get those apps. The best thing to do would be to contact the app developers and ask when they'll make their apps compatible with ICS.
[HTC Rezound] DbZ Gokuu:
I've never used it but it sounds like maybe the "Market Enabler" app might work. It's at keast worth checking out
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
I swear I saw a market app that's currently in a Rezound rom here that shows all apps. I forget the rom though. With the build prob don't I just edit it to make it think my phone is on GB? Gotta be an easy way to do this.
[HTC Rezound] androph:
1. Flash a 2.3 rom

2. Use root file explorer >>go to data/app folder and copy app to SD card

3.reinstall 4.0 rom and reinstall app

Editing build prop is more trouble and time than its worth.

Copy and reinstall is faster and the apps will still function...paid apps will require the install key probably...
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
Why do I need to flash a Rom, can't I just download a Rom, open the zip with 7zip and extract the market.apk from system/app? I thought the market apk was in system/app?

Oh and could you name a Rom I could download to get the apk I need. Also, what is the name of the market.apk? How do I remove the market from the ICS Rom and install the GB market over it so I don't have two markets installed and in my launcher?

One last thing, what do you mean paid apps will require a licencse?
[HTC Rezound] kingpin003:
Nope, not market.apk. You'll want to look in /data/app for the specific apps that are missing. /data/app is the location of all your apks downloaded from the market.

The reason we don't need to simply copy the market.apk is because your market app is working just fine. Google's servers filter based on device and rom according to the build.prop file. Because there's no official ICS rezound it doesn't know what to show you yet. Once it gets closer to release google will add the profile for ICS and everything will show properly. :)
[HTC Rezound] zonbal33:
gotcha, so until then there isnt a way to swap build.prop, replace the ics build.prop with GB build.prop from one of our GB roms.
