[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Hello,

I want to go back to gingerbread from resurrection v7.4 ics rom.

I made a backup before i flashed the rom, via CWM, do i just wipe everything and flash the backup? or any extra steps?

also now i cannot load files into my phone, i turned on usb debugging and can access files but when i try to copy a file into the phone it says "can not copy items" "the device either stopped working or has been disconnected"

Help please, many thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
To restore you dont have to wipe anything.Use CWM app or boot to recovery and restore.After that Id wipe cache pratition and dalvik cache just in case.Factory reset may be a good idea seeing as your coming back from ICS but thats your choice.After that see how mass storage is.Ive read a few threads about people having trouble getting back from ICS.Hope it all goes well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Thanks Cooza,

but i think i made a stupid mistake, im getting an MD5 mismatch when i try to restore, im searching for the reason, im not sure its true but i think its because i renamed the backup folder from its original date/time to a name i gave it. does that cause MD5 mismatch?

the rest of my backups are with ICS not Gingerbread :(. is there another way to go back to my version ( i dont mind reformatting the whole phone if i have to)

my former gingerbread Version was

Baseband: XXKI4

Kernel: JPKJ2

android 2.3.5
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Flash stock rom then CF root with the exact same CWM kernel you used to backup .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RorixRebel:
flash via odin the stock rom and custom kernel if you want to have root

otherwise just flash the stock rom, id suggest the original android dev subforum
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Ive read that you shouldnt change the name of a nandroid backup but I dont know if that could be the problem.You could Flash the old bootloader and try the nandroid but I dought now that it would work so the best is to flash a custom ROM as the other posters have been advising although like I said ealier Ive read alot of threads with people having this problem of coming back to Gingerbread from ICS.Thats the risk of flashing a test ROM as no ICS ROM is full complete yet.:DDont worry mate,theres still hope:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
Renaming it will cause a mismatch, if you can't recall the original name, don't worry. You can use Advanced Restore from recovery to restore the b/u.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Thanks guys,

Ill be honest, the only time i flashed my phone was when Cf-rooting then i downloaded the .zip files for resurrection ics and it was easy cuz done via CWM.

so ive never flashed a rom on my fone using odin, i fell intimidated i bit, dont know the difference in flashing a rom and a kernel (i know what they are but donno how to flash individually)

anyways i went to sammobile.com, downloading the stock firmware now.

by searching online i now think the zip file from sammobile will have some files and i gotta load the files provided in their proper places (dont know if .pit file will be provided with it, nor if i need to load .pit) :confused:

please tell me if what ive mentioned above is correct, sorry for the noob questions but i just dont wanna screw up.

after all of that ill then back up properly and try some gingerbread roms and kernels. but i just wanna get it back to the original first to be safe, dont know if i can just flash gingerbread roms and kernels with my ics phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mudferret:
adb push, or Droid Explorer, or QTAdb, et al, will allow you to get those files to your phone.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Thanks mate,

Tried Advance restore option, it said "no file found"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leroy1703:
I went back myself from ics to a stock ROM. It's really easy :)

What I did first was fully wipe cache, dalvik etc in cwm. Next up: put your phone in download mode (volume down, home and power)

Start odin and add the tar file or tar.md5 file with the PDA button. That should be the only file in the zip, if there are more: look at the file names, they'll say where to add them in odin.

Next up, connect your phone to your computers usb port (odin should tell you that it has added your phone) and hit the start button.

After the flashing is done your phone will reboot and it should be back to normal. Now you can flash a kernel to get root again if you like ;)

Good luck, it will work out just fine ;)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ab.riyami:
Excellent, thanks guys it worked :)

Flashed stock via Odin, not rooted now but will do when i flash CF-root again

waiting for sam to finally release ics!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Well done.Better to wait for the official release of ICS:)

Hi guys, I have recently fell in love with the case mate barely there metallic silver for the Galaxy S. However, I have a Galaxy S LCD and I know that case mate do a case for the i9000 and the i9003! Anybody know the difference? Also, when I was on amazon, it said that they have a newer model of the product but when i clicked on it, it looked exactly the same?

Any suggestions or help would be great! And if you have this case please comment on what you think about it :) Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] laconic5:
I used it for a few months and found that:

1. It made the gps worse.

2. It caused scratches on the bezel when you put it on or removed it. Which is ironic because it's supposed to protect the bezel.

But on the plus side, it made the phone feel a bit more solid and look nice without making it noticably bigger.
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] habylab:
I think it is great! Protected my phone very well through a festival and loads of gigs, solid case. I have broken the little bit above where the gap for the volume rocker is, but that was kind of expect. In the upper right corner there is also a crack for me, I will try attaching some images for you now! I might just order another one!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kanyonkritter:
so i have searched quite a bit and have not found a similar issue. My main goal is to get my razar to the .173 build and maintain root. I was at .748 and wanted to flash back to stock (.744) to start from a "fresh starting point" after downloading the the most current version of rsdLITTE (5.6 anyways), the most current moto drivers, and the applicable sbf files. I tried flashing the fast boot files per the instructions that are available on various droid forums. My problem is RSD does not recognize my phone when my phone is in fastboot mode. When my phone is in normal ops. RSD see's my phone. If I start the flashing process RSD will say "switching the phone to fastboot mode" and I watch it physically see it happen on my phone (it switches to fastboot) after a period of time RSD says "phone failed to switch to fastboot". I asked around all over the place and no one has heard of this or had an idea of how to fix. So I ended up learning bit about ADB and found the files to manually (through command prompt) flash to744. I cant find the files to manually update to build .748 or .173. I tried to update via OTA to .748 several times all resulting in failures. Ive tried different downloads of the sbf files, rsdlite, and the moto drivers. I am running xp pro and tried two different machines and several different cables all of the combinations resulting in the same issues as described above when attempting to flash with RSD. From what I gather XDA is my best chance of resolving my anal cranium inversion so hopefully the brain trust here can shed some light on my problems..........please?:D

Note: Im quite positive this is not a usb cable problem as every other razr/pc interface works, i can transfer files, use pda, adb, charge my phone, etc........

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lovepsp2002:
I am having trouble with the battery life on my Nook Tablet since BN forced a software update to me last week. I use TGPS to go to the hidden settings, there I tap on Battery Use and Phone Idle is using 73%. Display 10%, Wi-Fi 9% and Android OS 2%. Any suggestions of what I can do. I did read the forum and installed Better Battery Stats and still get the same thing. I am not rooted but have debugging going so I can install and uninstall even in 1.4.1.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ckevinwelch:
So, what exactly is your battery life like? Those stats don't say anything other that what has between using the battery since it was last charged. How long has it been and what is the battery percentage?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] clayson:
What process is phone idle?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] lovepsp2002:
I plug it in and have a full charge unplug and then in 2 hours check it and there is only 50%.

Sounds like you might have a runaway app. When did this start? Download Spare Parts from the market and check for a running application that is causing a wakelock.
[Hero CDMA General] LidoShuffle:
Every time I've turned on my phone for a while, it's gotten through the startup screens (Welcome to NOW etc) and then the desktop background and phone button shows up (no icons) and there's a little window in the middle of the screen that says "loading.." with the spinning dotted circle. That goes on forever it seems like.

About a week and a half ago, it came up to the desktop and my icons were rearranged and some were missing. I moved them around and put the folder that was deleted back on the desktop and put my regularly used apps into it. Then another time, all the icons were gone completely and I had to go to Personalize settings and restore my last used (unsaved) theme (not sure if that's the right word).

Now whenever I reboot, it just goes to the "loading..." thing as mentioned above forever and it's kind of a surprise what the desktop will look like.

I'm not sure when this started happening but it seems like some time after the Sprint voicemail app automatically updated itself a few weeks ago.
[Hero CDMA General] ajrty33:
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and assume you're still running stock. Why don't you flash one of the lovely roms we have here? That'll fix that problem. You may end up with other problems, but that'll fix your original problem.

Or... try wiping some caches and dalvik and see if it'll clean up some and load better?
[Hero CDMA General] LidoShuffle:
I'm actually running Nfinite's rom from about a year ago. I see that there's an updated version of it but with the mediafire links broken I can't get it. I'm also a newbie so I'm not sure how to wipe caches and dalvik. Will do some (re)reading and see if I can get back to speed enough to do that. Thanks.

Hey guys

What a great phone and good looking development is happening, but one problem compared to my old San Francisco, The vibration isn't as "vibing" as it but i've used apps that use vibration and it can vibrate quite alot, any way of changing the vibration level? also Like others Sound on calls is very low, any fix yet?

Any ideas?

Thanks

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] irishpancake:
I don't know the answer.....

but as a former Blade/OSF owner, I am interested to know how you rate this device by comparison....

Wasn't the Blade just so easy to customize? and, with a load of Custom ROM's, so easy to upgrade, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] jamidodger1:
The Blade was quite easy to customize and yeah it was all easy to use and upgrade, but mine had some issues with it before I got my Samsung W rendering the SF useless :/

But Im amazed my how quick development for the W has come along, and I think the W is better than the blade but my only wish if for more RAM in the Samsung W :)

Howdy!

I've tried to install Runnymede but so far it doesn't install. I've rooted, s-off and even partioned my SD card but it just sits at the boot-in screen with nothing on sceen. (The phone is on).

How in the world do I get it to work? The only ROMS that have worked are CM7, LeedDroid and Revolution. I don't like Revolution. It's a bit boring and it hates my phone. Mega battery drain even after I do the battery cycles.

Is there a way to fix my battery drain and also is there some special way to install Runnymede?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Prof Peach:
Your SD card needs to be Fat32 with a single 1024MB ext4 partition. Both need to be primary with zero swap. 4ext recovery has a really good partition tool but Gparted should do the job.

Look at the Partition Guide in my signature.

Ofc. for X8 and on nAa kernel ;3
[XPERIA X8 General] RockitOut11:
do you know JAVA atleast?

EDIT: wait, you want only to make the build, or to work on the rom and on the source?

EDIT2: Wrong section btw, you should asked on Q&A's
[XPERIA X8 General] NeveHanter:
Java on basic level, I do not know any of it's APIs but I can learn them ( I don't know Android API too )

C/C++ on intermediate level

First build it from source, after successful modify source and compile ROM.

MOD: Please move to Q&A if possible, thanks.
[XPERIA X8 General] eagleeyetom:
You could read my thread (look at my signature). I wrote all the stuff you need to know of ROM-compiling. There's also a thread about kernel making.
[XPERIA X8 General] NeveHanter:
Dzięki :)

Thanks at all, you got the point. I'll try to compile it using yours tut and post result here :) And one more thing, developing CM9 for X8 build for which phone i need to base on? And where I can get hmmm... X8 Driver sources? Adreno libs and others?
[XPERIA X8 General] eagleeyetom:
Right now we don't have sources for X8. You need to port most of libs. You could also paul-xxx's drivers from his github. Good luck :) If you have some questions PM me, I'll help if I'll be able to.
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
doixanh based his GingerDX ROM - based on Gingerbread - on the Hero source tree. If I recall correctly I read somewhere that a CM9 port to the HTC Hero exists; that might be your best shot as the phone is about the same specs as the X8.

And as eagleeyetom wrote: You either use paul-xxx's drivers or you reverse engineer the Eclair drivers and write them anew from scratch (if your thought was going into the direction of the kernel) - there's no CM9 port for the X8. Your best option would be to try and find devices having a matching hardware component and porting the drivers from there - but chances are pretty slim that other phones use the same hardware SEMC stuffed into the X8.

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

Update: paul-xxx also maintains a GIT repo with a msm7227 kernel ...

paul-xxx / semc-kernel-msm7227-ics

EDIT: Along with some other interesting repos ...

- android_hardware_qcom_camera

- Xperia-TI-Wlan

- android_device_semc_msm7x27-common

These three at least seem to relate to the X8 "Shakira"
[XPERIA X8 General] NeveHanter:
Thanks all for help, now I have some basic workaround with this :)

And one off topic question :)

ICS is running on 3.0.3 kernel, yes? So why we don't try to port it for X8 and using old 2.6.xx?
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
It seems the genuine Google AOSP ICS is running Linux 3.0.8

Porting the Kernel might turn into a huge effort. The ABI of 2.6.29 and 3.0 are not really compatible, so the kernel drivers would need to be ported to the CM9 3.0.x series - in case a simple patching them into the kernel tree and trying to compile bombs out with tons of make errors.

Apart from that - the main problem with ICS on the X8 is that a whole lot of devices can't use a custom kernel as a change in the hardware (devices of 11W29 and newer) prevents boot loader unlock.

We could try to see if the CM9 kernel could be slapped into shape ... I got a Quad-Core Phenom II to tackle that task - if someone wants to help out in the research if some msm7227 / Shakira specific parts would need to be patched into the source tree because they aren't part of it.

EDIT: Even the official CM repo uses Linux 2.6.37.6 as their kernel, and the progress on the FXP Kernel seems to have come to a halt; at least I can't see any new stuff in the -shakira repos.
[XPERIA X8 General] eagleeyetom:
LG GT-540 has ICS on 2.6.35 kernel. Maybe we could try to port Arc's kernel. Maybe this one? Recommend me some C/C++ books to learn basic stuff :P
[XPERIA X8 General] NeveHanter:
You want this book's in english or you prefer in our native? ;3
[XPERIA X8 General] B.Jay:
This is a rather tricky question ...

If you do as I did simply Google up a C/C++ Reference/Tutorial (i.e. http://www.acm.uiuc.edu/webmonkeys/book/c_guide/ or http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/) and get going ... you already got gedit to code up .c files, and gcc is also part of your Linux distro to try and compile your "hello_world.c" ;) You could also Google for Online Classes (in the like of http://www2.its.strath.ac.uk/courses/c/) and pick whatever suits you.

However, if you want to read real books ... look through the offers of Addison Wesley and pick what you think is the best book for you. You could also hit up your closest public library and see what they have in store (may be cheaper than buying in case you don't have much money to spend) - or, in case you study, you may want to look into your University's library.

Of course you could also start off with the usual "C/C++ for Dummies" or "Teach yourself <whatever> in 7|14|21|30 days"
[XPERIA X8 General] eagleeyetom:
Polish would be awesome ;P
[XPERIA X8 General] NeveHanter:
Best, simply writed polish C/C++ tutorial, one of the best ;) www(.)warsztat(.)gd/tutorials.php?x=category&id=18

In adddition you can search for ( it's a big ebook ) Symfonia C++ Grębosza ( Symphony in C++ ), you can find it on chomikuj.pl but if U want I can upload it somewhere for you :)

And if you will have any problems with C/C++ you can write to my GG number 10037533 or PM me here ;)

I have just applied patches.

Transitions and Lenses

NOTE: Its working for CM7 by PCF v5 and v6 and Swiftdroid ASIS (basically for any deodexed CM7 ROM).

Its recommended to BACKUP before applying as this patch replaces framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.

Patch via recovery

http://bit.ly/ics_transitions

NOTE2: Transitions for SwiftDroid SDSL (this version is for SDSL only and without lenses)

http://bit.ly/ics_transitions_SDSL

If someone haven't tried Ice Cream Sandwich and saw how transitions look like here is the video about it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vf1U_30Ngfk

and a another video about transitions

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=I6vnHseO7K8​

Statusbar layout

NOTE: Tested on PCF's V6, but again it should work on any deodexed CM7 ROM (Muri4k's and PCF's).

Do not apply on SDSL Final

, i will patch it later.

Its recommended to BACKUP before applying as this patch replaces framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk.

NOTE2: If you want to have transitions and statusbar layout first apply transitions then statusbar layout patches and everything should work fine.

NOTE3

: In ics_statusbar_layout.zip are two zips, ics_patch and ics_undo. Apply ics_patch to enable ics statusbar layout, patch undo to undo changes and revert them to normal.

Patch via Recovery

http://bit.ly/ics_statusbar_layout

And here is the version for deodexed version of SDSL

http://bit.ly/ics_statusbar_layout_sdsl

NEW

ICS statusbar layout patched with AChep's patcher originally for Tejases CM7 but also should work with latest deodexed SDSL version. It may or may not work with older CM7 builds (ASIS, PCF's...) haven't tested yet. Remember to BACKUP! :)

http://bit.ly/H1mBpM

NOTE: If you experience problems after flashing, flash undo, reboot, and then flash again.​

Have fun!
