I have to say I do feel for you, my mother dropped hers in the sink just as I bought mine (an upgrade from my Desire

) and is waiting to hear back from the bank about her claim. I bought my AMOLED Nexus from CEX in mint condition. I had rooted and had an ICS ROM installed before I had my sim card put in.

You should follow the guides i n the general section to root and install all that's needed. You'll have a lot of fun with it! If you're not sure you have all the help you need right here :-)

Thanks for the replies.

I have no way of knowing what the screen actually is. It says inside that it is i9023 which is also what my original said. It's just the blacks aren't as black and the screen looks washed out as you said, and I noticed on the Samsung site that it lists the GT-i9023 as now having an LCD screen!

After the first reply though, I updated using the 2.3.3 > 4.0.3 zip file using stock recovery no problems! The only thing is that recovery no longer works, but that has been discussed about in many other threads so nothing new there :)

Liking it so far though!

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Voodoo colours does nothing an an i9023. OTA is put and works fine, if the update doesn't show, just update manually. No need to unlock bootloader, not need to root. Note, however, that there won't be a backlight in the stock ICS recovery.

About the colours, they might not be as vibrant but certainly VERY crisp.

"not tight fitting, can slip out"

I had high hopes for this exact skin, then read reviews on AArchosFans.com I think

The main cons were: iirc -not tight fitting, will slip out of skin, -the skin does not cover bezel around screen enough -collected dirt and static -smelled

Now, I could accept everything but "not tight fitting, can slip out" that would suck if a skin cover caused a tablet drop. anyone with first hand experience with this on a 80 G9, chime in
[Gen9, Gen10 General] otg111:
Just got one today for my 80. It's true its not all that tight, especially at the top and bottom (in landscape) but it wraps round far enough at the sides that I can't imagine it would actually fall out very easily. I'm happy with it.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sherichander:
Hi Guys,

I have been having a problem with Ho! No! ROM. I am in India on AIRTEL 3G. Whenever I switch to 2G Network I tend to loose signal and after sometime the signal gets completely lost (EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY is shown). If I remain in 3G only, everything works fine but battery usage is obviously more. Moreover, recently after HO! NO! CM 7.1.3 I am not getting 3G speeds while internet browsing while being on 3G network.

My Mobile Network Settings are like:

Data Enabled: On

International Data Roaming: On

National Data Roaming: Off

Network Mode: GSM/WCDMA(auto mode)

Use only 2G Networks: Off

Do I need to change my radio/baseband according to India (where to find the same and how to do it?)

I didn't have any such problems on CM 7!!!

Please help me out guys!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] sherichander:
I used MiniMod to switch my base band and now the 2G Signal loss problem is solved. But internet speed is still all messed up on both 2G and 3G. It seems like that this is a problem with HO! NO! ROM rather than base band as my internet browsing was working flawlessly on earlier HO! NO! ROMs without switching the base band.

It's a newer version of the app and most apps are not backward compatible. Maybe if someone were to decompile/recompile it, but then the framework is also different so it'd probably be a hack at best.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
one if you want themes to try out go here:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1059

Then from the rom you are using i have already checked in the first page of the rom thread that you are using there is a download link in the themes section in the thread for a new version of the theme to download. so you can try that also.

now i do not know if the themes in the forum will work so do a backup of your rom first and then flash away. if they do not work just revert back to your backup;)

Hi there,

A bad update has left me stuck, unable to get in to recovery. Download is fine so it's ok, but won't be near a pc i can use Odin with for a few days. Does anybody know of anything that can be done from an Android tablet, or tricks for booting recovery that might get me up sooner?

Ta
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmad:
try odin mobile? you can buy it in the android market
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:

Yep. If your device is rooted you can get Mobile Odin, download a CFRoot kernel & flash it. That may well give you your CWRecovery back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjjensen23:
im assuming OP's phone doesnt boot, in which Mobile Odin in worthless.

@OP

what did you flash that would screw the recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Broomfundel:
Hi,

yes, your right, the phone doesn't boot. As for what i did, nothing that should have done this. Just tried a rom, didn't like it and was restoring a nandroid backup. Have everything important on ext sd titanium backup, just hoping to get a phone back sooner.

Thanks

In that case you're not going to be able to fix it until you get access to a PC.
[HTC Desire S] Neorth:
Hello,

I have finally decided to go down the path of custom roms. Have read around quite a bit and decided that the best idea would probably be to root using the downgrade method instead of using the HTC unlock method so that I would also get S-OFF (to be able to change kernel and radio).

Q1: Do you think this is a good choice?

Q2: If I indeed use the downgrade method, would it then in som way be possible to flash 4ext recovery and do a system backup of my current setup before downgrading?

Q3: Do I actually need to be able to change kernel/radio? Will many custom roms need a change of kernel?

Q4: Is it possible to return to stock recovery/rom from both of these methods in case need of warranty?

Many thanks!

/Neorth
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
1) Hell Yes. Best thing i did to my phone.

2) On your current setup, you'll need to flash the boot.img file from each ROM via fastboot after you flash it. If you use downgrade, This step is not needed. I reccomend you downgrade.

3) Every ROM has a built in kernel (boot.img) which will automatically change when you flash it. Do not mess with your radio, changing it does not make a lot of difference and it's risky. (if you don't downgrade, you can't change radio at all)

4) From downgrade, yes. From HTC Dev unlock, only partially. You can restore ROM an recovery, but your bootloader will only say Re_locked.
[HTC Desire S] Neorth:
Thanks for your answers!

I think you missunderstood me on this one. My current setup is stock (S-ON, unrooted). What I want to do is to backup before I wipe the current rom, would that be possible?

I think I will downgrade but would this work even if I use the HTC unlock method? Think I read that you can't change kernel if you're only root with S-ON.

Then I guess downgrade it is!
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Oh yes i did :p To answer question 2, yes you can. Unlock your phone Via HTCDev.com, flash 4ext recovery.img from fastboot and nandroid backup.
[HTC Desire S] Neorth:
Ok, so if I want a backup I'll still have to unlock via HTCDev.com. Guess I better start to write down my current settings.. :)
[HTC Desire S] Neorth:
Now I've downgraded! Have also run revolutionary but not quite there yet as I have some questions so I won't do anything stupid :-)

Q5. I want 4ext recovery instead of the clockwork mod so I answered no when revolutionary asked me to install that one. After that I've become a little nervous because I don't know if it's safe ro reboot without flashing a custom recovery, is it?

Q6. Can I reboot and install 4ext recovery from the phone (from market or apk)?

Q7. Why does revolutionary has it's own hboot (6.98.1002) and am I supposed to stick with it?

Thanks again!
[HTC Desire S] sadsac:
You should rerun rev and install cwm then u can replace it with 4ext by downloading the app from market and flashing it from within the app

You'll need to flash superuser using cwm first though.

Yes you should replace the rev hboot with a standard engineering hboot. There are advantages as in some instances the rev hboot cannot be overwritten.
[HTC Desire S] Neorth:
Is it really possible to run revolutionary on hboot 6.98.1002?

I rebooted without problem. So I guess the problem is that I don't have su access? Any walk around for this?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
Yes, but you need CWM first, that'll give you EVERYTHING you want. Follow this to get CWM and get root access - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=14693680 Then, download the 4Ext recovery control app (it needs root) and flash 4ext recovery.
[HTC Desire S] Neorth:
Ah, perfect! I'm working my way through the different guides and are now in this stage:

SAGA PVT ENG S-OFF

HBOOT-0.98.2000 (PG8810000)

RADIO-3805.06.02.03_M

Have also got 4ext as recovery so all is great so far :)

Now I just have to decide on which custom ROM to start with. Think Quattro, Endymion and Reaper are the top candidates :p

Btw, do you think I should upgrade to the latest hboot-2.00.2002? And should I upgrade to the latest radio? And should I in that case do that before or after ROM?
[HTC Desire S] shrome99:
No need for touching your radio or hboot. I've never flashes an hboot and the one time i flashed a radio, my phone almost got bricked.
[HTC Desire S] Neorth:
Thanks for your help shrome99!

I'm now running Reaper v.1.5 and it runs smooth :-)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
Hi there,

probably that request would make more sense in the developer forum but i didnt post enough yet :)

Actually i get insane battery batterylife with the bali 1.8.8 UV version, therefore i tried the non UV version with even more lowerd voltages via set cpu. it was stable but drained a lot faster. don´t know why.

so my request would be "pre-undervolted" bali kernels that might have even longer batteryliftime. Any hints on that? Someone who is able to compile something like this?

Best regards,

vibrantoparanto (from germany)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrafael:
Hint' Bali X+Voltage control app= win !!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
^^ that is your answer....currently what im using
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
bali-x is what i used before - i lowered the voltages up to -150mv with some frequencies but it still gave me only about half the battery lifetime (less than 24 hours with moderate use) then i get with bali uv. What did you use to manually undervolt and how is your battery lifetime?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
i hate to burst your bubble, but youre chasing a ghost. uv'ing will not produce very noticeable changes to your battery life, especially if were are talking baout different versions of the same kernel.

take a look at this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=21024393&postcount=8
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
Cannot agree with that. I tried *a lot* and flashed different roms and kernels for years now. With stock kernels i get up to two days standby with low/moderate use, with bali UV i get almost three days. I have no idead why, but at least the standby time differs dramatically between kernels. At least thats for sure - under load that might be another thing. But probably you´re right and its just a "good standby behaviour" which would hardly benefit from lowered voltages. Would be still interesting to try a hardcore UV kernel :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Woody:
TopShelf, it is funny that you posted that note/post b/c I was just getting ready to PM you that I put part of it in my guide like I mentioned a week or so ago and the apps too.

Take a look at the Guide and maybe you will find some answers to your questions.

If you want to UV to the max, then you will have to test that yourself b/c every Vibrant reacts differently to OC/UV. Step it down -25v each day (don't set on boot until you know they work) and see where it freezes. There are OC/UV examples in the guide but beware, they are both for MIUI kernels.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
Is there probably any admin out there who understands what i talk about and can move that thread to the developer forum? ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
this thread belongs here, you posted in the right section. posting in development will not get you answers from developers, it will only get you yelled at by hall monitors.

it is a common misconception that "developers" ONLY visit the "development" section. this is far from the truth.

sorry to say, the reason you have not gotten answers isnt because you posted in the wrong section, but because requests like these are pretty much never honored. the reason is because if a developer decides to make a slight alteration to a ROM/kernel for a member, he will then get BOMBARDED by dozens of other members who have tiny little tweaks that they would like in their ROM/kernel
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
Still trying to bring back some life to my request with this argument: I just checked my girlfriends device (using zendroid 2.1.2 with bali 1.8.8uv) and couldnt believe it: 3 days and 14 hours since unplugged with 8% left. The battery is a stock 1500mHa. And as its my girlfriends phone its definity not "overtweaked and calibrated". Personally i care much more about standby time than super heavy usage (guess that should be fine then too).
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrafael:
Since you didn't like the answer you got, for clarification purposes you are basically asking for a dev to use their time for FREE an modified/debug/test a kernel with your requirements just for your own sake ? :confused:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
i wanted to point out that this is a very interesting kernel with great battery lifetime. if you have a look at all the other threads of people desperatly trying to get 24h of battery then you probably wouldnt consider this request as "wasting free time of others for my own sake".
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
i can prove to you that UVing does not make that much of a difference. if youre willing to learn, try this little experiment:

-UV your phone using your current settings

-put your phone in airplane mode

-turn it off

-charge it to 100% while its off

-after it boots up, leave it in airplane mode and immediately lock the screen

-let your phone sit idle in airplane mode from full charge to death (record the time)

--------------

Once youve done this, repeat all of the above steps but with STOCK VOLTAGE. record the time.

now compare the two times. i would be willing to bet a large sum of money that it is not a notable difference, if any.

my point is instead of trying to convince yourself that your theory of UVing is correct, why not do a TRUE battery life test, and simply find out for yourself. you cannot run true battery tests while you are actually using your phone becuase phone usage is massively different on a day to day basis, even if you dont think it is, it is. there is background data, text messages/calls, notifications, etc. (which is why i said to put it in airplane mode, that way its just sitting there, with little to no variables)

i guarantee you that you are putting way too much thought into voltage settings. they

do not

help as much as people want them to. dont say im wrong until you actually try what i said above. although youre probably nto going to.

sorry, but this does not prove anything. what are you comparing it to? your phone? you cant compare her battery life to your own unless you guys have the same exact setup, same exact apps, and same exact usage habits, etc.

you are not going about this battery things the right way. you NEED to be willing to learn more instead of trying to come up with your own reasons in your own head as to why your battery gets a specific lifespan. If getting THAT MUCH more battery life was as easy as UVing your phone, dont you think the manufacturers would incorporate that and use that as a marketing strategy?? "New from Samsung, the Galaxy S III!!! This will revolutionize the mobile industry, curing the battery woes across that smartphone world...now with lower voltage for drastically improved battery life!! Pick yours up today!!"

It's not that easy, you need to read up on what affects battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
thank you for your thoughts topshelf, but as i posted earlier i am on that topic for years now and i really tested a lot. not as scientific as running phone on idle with different frequenzies but trust me: I know a whole lot about this topic. Also i share your thought that the voltage is not that important in the end. On the other hand i have to say you guys are quite ignorant about my observations i did earlier:

1. The bali-x kernel with manual undervolting provides (provable) worse battery lifetime than

2. the 1.8.8uv kernel.

Conclusion: As you say it is not that much about the voltage but about the way the kernels work as a whole. On the other hand it would be *very* interesting if the insane battery lifetime of bali uv could be even further improved. And no i wont put my phone to sleep for days in order to do scientific test (whoever is willing to i will donate - battery lifetime almost like astrology)

Last but not least: It is true that different roms provide significantly different battery lifetimes - for whatever reason. Some roms turn your phone into a handwarmer, others give you almost the standby times you were used from the non-smarthpones. And i think even the big companies have a hard time to write device specific code that is highly optimized - i mean you still get new devices with gingerbread instead of ics and so on. conclusion: on the software side *is* much room for improvement if it comes to battery lifetime on most devices.

just my 2 cents :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrafael:
Look at your post, you and "others" are asking for some one to do research and development on their free time and for free ? little selfish on you.

Look at all the kernels thread in the development section and read thru all the comments, I bet there is far more people whining and complaining about this and that, than providing actually constructive and monetary feedback to the developers.

Its not as easy as it seams, ecotox already tried this before with his ultra low power kernels and some reported great succes while others couldnt even boot, it goes down to the quality of the silicon on each particular phone. no dev has the time/money to develop such request considering all the different variables involved.

lastly if you are so fond on this idea, why dont you take the initiative and learn to compile and patch and make your own kernel ?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomaniac10:
im not trying to pick on you, but this sarcastic response shows your overall attitude that jrafael is trying to make you realize. you want somebody to take time out of their day/night to do something for you...yet you arent even willing to let for phone sit for a day in order to learn a thing or two...letting your phone sit doesnt even take any effort, compiling a kernel takes a lot more effort than that

i hate to say it, but why should someone help you, if you dont want to help yourself.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibrantoparanto:
thank you jrafael for the links - thats a great read.

@topshelf: still think you overreact here. For one who has developed it and has the workflow it is a matter of a few minutes - and no one is forced to do anything unless he thinks its might be worth it - maybe its inspiring? i am just asking. not everything idea must be done by the one who thinks about it. and the quote about battery life is true i would say - we are really lacking valueable info on battery drain with different setups.
