[General Questions and Answers] BlackBird8:
Hey Guys,

I have some sirious issiues with my Samsung Galaxy S 2 and the MIUI v4 on it.

I would like to change the kernel as well as the ROM, which should both work with CWM. However, I cannot put the zip files on the internal sd because I can't handle files in my phone. When I link it to the computer via USB it is found at the Explorer and has got 2 partitions (the external SD as well as the internal phone memory). However, I can't make any changes at the Phone memory any more and I have no idea how to change this.

Further I have got some other issues with the MIUI or even with cyanogenmod7. The Camcorder does not work. Could the Kernel be the crucial point?

And the last problem so far refers to the root permission settings of MIUI v4, which can't be changed (i would need this for the sim-unlock-app).

Can somebody help me?

thx a lot, BB8

Okay...no answers so far... /push :)
[General Questions and Answers] geniac:
Hello there,

to get the new ROM / Kernel on you Phone, you Could just FTP it over...

Take a look at the Filebrowser(Dateibrowser in German :D) that comes with MIUI, there is a FTP tab where you can start a server.

Otherwise you could use swiftp from the market.

Or you could just eject you external-sd and use a card reader to put the files on there.......

I hope this helped a little.
[General Questions and Answers] BlackBird8:
Yes, thx. This helped a lot! I have got now the CheckRevolution ROM on my Phone! Far better :)

thx again!

Wow. I just saw like a BUNCH of names, specifically in the ICS Passion thread, that a had about 12+ posts, and joined this month.

Is this device still that popular? I had expected this device to easily die off by 2012, but then neobuddy came by and dropped his ICS, which got everything back up, and now theres all these new users.

Welcome to everyone! Hah, this community keeps on surprising me.

I like to buy devices that aren't brand new but still have plenty of promise cause I'm broke lol
[Vibrant General] Jeffe5:
I am very happy that I bought this phone in July 0f 2010. I was not happy with the broken GPS and laggy performance of 2.1, but if it was not for the phone's problems and my frustrations with waiting for a fix from Samsung I never would have discovered XDA. If you think about it, these same problems presented a challenge to the dev community, it became an ongoing project that became fun and brought together a real "community" around the Vibrant. Now we are all enjoying ICS on an "obsolete" phone. Amazing! Thank you Team Whiskey for Bionix, Einherjar for Trigger, (I never used any GB Roms because I use GPS a lot) and now I have Neobuddy to thank for fully working GPS with ICS....

I was reading another thread tonight started by someone who hard bricked his Vibrant and called T-Mo for a replacement. They told him they were not supporting the Vibrant anymore and he was very bummed. He was persistent however and was overjoyed when T-Mo sent him a Vibrant. A few more people chimed about how Vibrants are not as easy to get now.

Like I said, a great community!
[Vibrant General] megatherian:
I think a lot of old users are upgrading and so there's a fair amount of used Vibrants on the market for a good price. Buy a used phone with no warranty and naturally the first thing to do is mod it ;)
[Vibrant General] chw2006:
I bought a Vibrant just because of ICS Passion...and the fact that the HTC Sensation doesn't have an AMOLED screen. :)

---------- Post added at 01:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

Got mine for $180 off eBay. It was already rooted with CM7 and unlocked. Only downside is that the battery was sort of drained (solved by an Anker battery for $12 though) and there's some bumps and scratches on the bezel.

There's also a seller selling a brand new one for $300 rooted and unlocked. It's a great deal compared to even some of the newest phones out there.
[Vibrant General] animaleyez:
I'm an avid Vibrant users and I've been using XDA for quite some time. I hate the new posting rules but I can deal. And ICS is really sweet as ICS(s)
[Vibrant General] Raistline:
I have had my Vibe since Oct 2010, I have been looking for a new phone and really want a Nexus but will not buy new without warranty. Right now I am quite happy with my Vibrant but really want a bigger screen with higher resolution. I also want to be able to turn the GPS radio on and off without having resident process draining the battery. Before anyone says go back to a 2.2 or 2.1 ROM, I just can't do it. I have tried but I just can't go back to an early OS build. I can't even go back to a GB ROM since I have had ICS. All earlier OS builds just feel to antiquated. To me it would be like going back to Windows 98 because there are a few DOS based games that don't run in Windows 7 X64.

With that said, I can fully understand why we have new users. The Vibrant is still leagues better than any new mid-range devices and can run toe to toe with all but the Newest High End phones that came out late Winter last year. I will be sad when giving up this very trustworthy device when I finally do. My wife will get it after me so at least it will stay in the household.

[Vibrant General] Sugartibbs:
I am suprised too, its a great phone, but before ics came out it was pretty quiet around here. Its still the same old question though, how much farther can the vibrant go? Im hanging on to mine, no telling what might leak.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Just sold mine.. There's going to be a few new members as someone else said because the resale market. I personally don't think I will ever sign a cell contract again.. If the phone I'm using loses support or is dead here, marketplace for new one, and sell the old one.
[Vibrant General] Ninosmaxima:
Hell yeah I had three at one point, vibrant is as good as hd2.
[Vibrant General] Ultimate83:
Solid device

I've had a vibrant since December 2010. Found one for myself and my girlfriend from shady backstreet dealers in Houston for $230 and a brand spanking new one for $250 :D. I've been flashing it since shortly after I received it. Bionix was solid. I was a bit disappointed with 2.3 roms in general and then ICS passion came out. It is the best ROM I've ever used hands down. I've yet to see the stutter that sometimes accompanied 2.2 and 2.3 roms. Apps maybe take a tiny bit longer to load than on CM7 but the general interface is so damn smooth it makes the occasional app launching non-problematic.

Now if only Swype would get updated to be compatible with ics...
[Vibrant General] dpaul007:
I'm using Swype on ICS... Themed one from here.
[Vibrant General] JettyLife:
I think December 21st 2012 is when the vibrant will die off. Whenever doomsday supposedly is this century.

[Vibrant General] cashmundy:
I get phones from ebay about a year after they come out, so I spend around $200 instead of five or six. The Vibrant is a misbegotten beast (I'll hesitate to buy any Samsung product again), but it will do until I get some multicore desktop-replacement phone used for $200.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timoxa:
hey.

i have sailed the internetz looking for answers for this. but i thought ild ask what everyone else thought.

would atrix lapdock work with sg2? (with mods off course) like changing the connectors about. and using a mhl to hdmi cable?

i was looking at the connectors and it is a micro hdmi and a micro usb if im not wrong..

whats everyones thoughts to this??? :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
My thoughts; not sure if serious...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timoxa:
what do you mean by that? its a valid question.

i know for sure you can connect your sg2 to the hdmi to display. but its the trackpad and keyboard im wondering about the most?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
NO.

Atrix has two different output ports. Micro USB for charging and data transfer, and micro-HDMI for TV-out. The laptop dock specific (I stress specific) for the Atrix uses BOTH of these ports in conjuction.

Galaxy S2 has ONE output port, a micro USB port that doubles for charging/data transfer, and connection to the optional MHL adapter accessory.

In NO WAY would you be able to MacGyver the Galaxy S2 to use the Atrix laptop dock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timoxa:
alright. well thanks for the answer. guess il have to look for another idea. possibly using portable hd screen and a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

cheers anyway.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phire420:
You know... it just might work. The atrix lapdock does feed 5v power up the usb port which you could adapt from micro usb to whichever varient you need on your MHL cable. This would provide the power necessary to drive the hdmi circuitry that you had feeding into the micro hdmi input of the lapdock. Obviously you wouldnt have a true 'dock' but it sounds like you understand that. As long as your phone detected the mouse and keyboard as input devices it should work. Not sure how that operates with an MHL cable. It might require USB OTG, and im not sure if that is available over the USB connectivity provided by MHL. You could try with a standard usb keyboard If that works, then the lapdocks should too.

I know for certain that you can use the lapdock as the screen by just connecting the video out of the MHL adapter to the lapdock, and a usb power only cable (for the MHL adapter) to the lapdocks normal USB charge ports.

There is a thread called Lapdock HDMI that has more details!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1376679

As for the person saying it is or was impossible... you so sure now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timoxa:
ive seen some mhl cables online which have a micro usb port on the side also. so you can plug in the micro hdmi and usb at the same time .. not as the other guy said. anyway im going to order the dock to see what mods i can get done. if anything promising il repost.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
That thread is from the Atrix forum. What bearing does that have on the argument on getting this working on an S2??

Have you even looked at the connections involved here?

The Atrix's micro USB and micro HDMI port are side by side, and the dock plugs into both of them.

The MHL cable plugs into the ONLY port on the S2.

So I'm certainly not an expert on the inner workings of MHL, USB, and HDMI, but from what I can gather, you would have to splice an MHL cable to separate out the USB leads from the HDMI leads, then try to run the HDMI leads into a micro HDMI female port, and run the USB leads to a female micro USB port. I don't even know if that would work with MHL in the equation. I'm fairly certain the phone detects what is plugged in and decides how to use the port, which shoots this down idea down altogether... unless more hacking is involved into the OS. Which is way above my head, and I'm not fool enough to try.

See this thread, which is admittedly for the Galaxy Nexus, but is WAY more relevant than the Atrix thread you linked, as the GNex is also manufactured by Samsung, and also uses MHL technology.

No - the micro USB port on the side of the MHL adapter is for power. If the HDMI port you plug into is NOT MHL compliant (and not many are, yet), you need to plug an AC adapter in to power the phone while HDMI is in use.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timoxa:
well. theres allot of different mhl cables. even if none of them support it. splitting the usb data from the other cables on the mhl should be easy. but like i said il order one to play with. im pretty sure even if i cant do anything with the sg2 il find another use for it. would be great for a project. but many thanks for your input. sure has shed some light in the dark.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Sure, there are a lot of MHL cables, but they are all essentially third party versions of the OEM Samsung MHL cable. (or whatever phone manufacturer you have that uses MHL - HTC, whatever)

I have high doubts ANY MHL cable will support it, since as I said, the phone will detect what type of connection is attached to decide how to send/receive signals from the port - if it sees the MHL adapter, it will do charge/HDMI; if it sees a regular USB cable, it will do charge/data transfer/OTG; if it sees an AC adapter, it does strictly charging. Notice how it can tell the difference when you have it plugged into your computer as opposed to when you have it plugged into the wall?

But if you want to go for it, good luck.

EDIT: yet another piece of info shooting this idea down.

Here's the video that he talks about in that post. Info specific on why this DOESN'T work is at about 7:25.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timoxa:
i pretty much thought the usb and hdmi wouldnt work from the beginning, il have to look into modding the dock to allow bluetooth. ive have just looked at the specifications of a mhl even though they can in theory support usb and hdmi at the same time. the sg2 wont. and i cant see any software mod that would allow this. il see what sort of bluetooth mods are available. maybe incorporate stuff i have done in the past. but the dock is too good to pass by.

i think we can close this thread as its been answered.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Not to nitpick, but it's MHL 1.0 that won't support it. The GS2 just uses MHL. Who knows if there's a possibility to update it to whatever MHL 2.0 is, whenever it comes out.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phire420:
Noone is 'arguing', instead I am trying to be productive and help. Forgive me opening the door to actually trying it and thinking it through instead of just saying 'THERE IS NO WAY ITS POSSIBLE, OMG ATRIX FORUM'. you do know where you are.. right?

yes, of course. you couldn't tell by my reply?

Right, which is why i even posted in the first place. First you claimed to know, now you dont know, not very helpful. and yes, i think its understood there would be cables and a potential need for splicing, as outlined in the other lapdock thread.

actually the other thread is perfectly relevant, if you read it, you would understand the point of the thread is a howto on interfacing the lapdock with devices OTHER than the atrix, how could it be more relevant?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Seriously? You're arguing that no one is arguing? By arguing?

Yes, I do. In the I9100 forums. Which is based on completely different hardware and architecture than the Motorola Atrix.

Clearly not, since you apparently understand less about how MHL works than I do.

Actually, I said I'm not an expert. Not that I didn't know. That's two different things. I notice you also conveniently left off the part of my quote after the part that said "I don't even know if that would work with MHL in the equation" which read:

Sure, relevant. But not, at the same time. Look at post 10 of that thread. It says "The lapdock keyboard and touchpad work just like a normal USB keyboard and mouse."

Now, clearly I read the thread you linked. Did YOU read anything I linked, or watch the video featuring a spokesman

from the frigging MHL consortium

??? How he said HDMI out and USB will NOT work at the same time on any phone that utilizes MHL, not just the Galaxy S2? And goes on to explain why?
