You should have tried to throw it to wall for a second time!

I know one person who first watered his Desire Z, and it didn't work even altough he drained it well. But then his young girl took his phone in his hands and threw it to wall and.. It began to work! Sometimes a little shock can do miracles ;)
[Desire General] 777ace:
Download "unwall.img" from Firegooglehoo, rename PB99IMG.zip and place on your SD.

Reboot and you will have a shiny brand new Desire box sealed and loaded with new ICS ROM.

:D

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chupper:
I had been using adb successfully, then it stopped working.

adb devices would only report no devices.

Finally I reviewed the runmefirst.bat from the rooting howto and noticed there is a check in there for

"%userprofile%\.android\adb_usb.ini"

This file needs to exist and it needs to contain the following

0x2080

Once I updated that ini file adb started working again.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _ST:
In my case, I'm connecting my NT for the first time and the command adb devices doesn't show anything

where is this file "runmefirst.bat" my the extension i take it that it is a windows batch file, Since i'm running UbuntuPangolin which file should i refer to..

Do i need to create this file manually, Coz i didn't find it Under my $HOME/ and is the file same for Linux(Ubuntu) too?

I understand that this number here, is vendor Id which i saw and followed the instructions from 51-android-rules(codeDOTgoogleDOTcom)

Can you let me know whats going wrong with my NT, even after following the instructions form the above link. Do i need to follow your instructions too? Please Help me....

There are plenty of apps that let you control your PC with your android phone/tablet, but is there something that lets you control your tablet with a PC keyboard/mouse?

I was smart enough to buy the EEE pad TF101 without the dock, and ASUS was so smart that they put the USB in on the dock.. (Anyone want to trade ? :P)

I found this http://www.xda-developers.com/android/use-your-pc-as-your-android-keyboard-with-pcbtkeyboard/ but it requires bluetooth which my desktop doesn't have.

Any tips? Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] roundaus:
hay, my 14 year old sister keeps complaining about this phone i bought her, screen lag, and battery life.

what is the best stable rom to put on it.

she is running 2.3 atm iirc.

cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SpaceCaker:
Just look

If she likse beauty

Use infinity
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] tossan:
Well, at first sight this seems to be a rather staightforward question with an obvious answer at hand. But if you dig deeper, than you'll find it more difficult to choose among the various possibilities. Here are some hints.

A. Roms

(1) Stock rom from Samsung (newest version is currently 2.3.6).

As far as I can tell and reading about other users experiences, it has the best battery running time. And performance wise I can't tell any disadvantage or lag either.

(2) Roms based on Ketuts kernel found in CF-Root.

(2.a) CF-Root b82 version and below

The system performance regarding battery and lag should be the same, because the kernels are stock (by Samsung) ones. But in reality the modder of the rom package may have used some scripting tweaks (init.d) or heavily themed the look. It may make the battery running time and/or the responsiveness of the system better or worse. But any modifications also bring the risk for bugs (wlan, sim-toolkit, ...).You should skip through the corresponding thread and find out.

(2.b) CF-Root b82.ex version and up

From here onwards Ketut has begun to tweak and build his own kernel based on the stock kernel configuration parameters (/proc/config.gz).

(3) Roms based on Cyanogenmod 7

This is an unofficial build of Cyanogenmod for the s5830.

It is well known, that it suffers under a battery drain issue. On the other hand you will get the most out of the device regarding lagfree performance. Recommended for heavy gamers at the cost of battery duration.

My recommendation is now that you goes from (1) to (3) and try them out to experience yourself, which package does really fullfills your/her needs. Because no one can tell you for sure, which rom is the best suited for you, because it is a matter of personal taste and preference.

Here you can find some introductionary materials into the world of modding to make the s5830 a better device accommodating to your needs.

-> [NEW 18/01][PROPER Q&A COMING SOON] A Newbie Guide for your Galaxy Ace

-> [TUTORIAL] How to upgrade, root, flash Recovery & Custom ROM Samsung Galaxy

B. Tweaks

(1) Make battery last a little bit longer.

If you're really serious about finding ways to extend the battery running time, than you should read the whole thread, because usefull informations are scattered and not only in the OP.

-> [Hint/Tip]Best way to save battery

(2) Lagfree scripts (only applicable to rooted device with init.d enabled)

This scripts may also contain some tweaks, which will claim to also raising the battery running time of the device.

For everyone having problems with gps even after editing the gps.conf i want to mention this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1252011

This worked on my device copying the two files gps.conf and SuplRootCert to /system/etc and i was able to get a gps-fix the first time since buying the tpt
[Thinkpad Tablet General] xi Slick ix:
Did you make a backup of the ROM using Recovery as suggested in the AGPS Patch thread, or did you just try it and get lucky. Also, which method did you successfully use on your TPT?

Thanks
[Thinkpad Tablet General] Koshu:
That would be method 2, i did everything manually. I don't know if the automatic versions would be compatible with the tpt.

If you need help with the manual steps, i can write you a more detailed instruction.

P.S. Didn't make a backup, but its always a good idea.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] xi Slick ix:
It appears method 2 worked for me as well.

-I chose the standard GOOGLE BUILD recommended by the dev.

-Downloaded to device

-Made a backup copy of my original gps.conf file by copy and pasting it with File Manager HD.

-Using ES File Manager with Root access and /system mounted, I copied the two files (gps.conf & SuplRootCert) and pasted them into the /system/etc folder (overwriting the original gps.conf file).

I get a gps accuracy of 30 meters so far in google maps, but the arrow is within 6-10 feet of where I was standing, if not closer.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] thedauntlessone:
Does this patch work for anyone else? I've replaced the gps.conf file but still cannot lock on to satellites.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Refot_Sirk:
I'm sure the answer is no but when I brought my Nexus home and began playing with it I noticed that Superuser had already been installed on the device. At first I thought it was because I had it installed on my previous phone and it just got restored with all the rest of my apps. When I checked its install location however, I noticed it was installed in /system/app/. I don't think this is possible without root.

The conclusion that I have come to is that Verizon sold me a phone that someone had rooted and returned. Any different theories??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
SU is an app, so it might have been restored. Are you rooted?

One thing is sure though, superuser does not come pre installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Refot_Sirk:
Rooted now, yes. But I noticed that it was installed in /system/app/ before I rooted it. Also I know that the su binary wasn't present either because when I opened Root Explorer I was never prompted to allow root privileges.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sweerts:
As soon as the Galaxy Nexus knows your Google account, it starts loading all the apps you used on a previous Android phone. So, if you had SU installed before, you'll have SU on your Galaxy Nexus now, even if your Nexus is unrooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Refot_Sirk:
I thought this too but as far as I know apps cannot be installed to /system/app without root. I had not yet rooted it when it was being restored.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
That seems simple to me: market has superuser permissions.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
This is not true. If you install SU through rooting, it will NOT install the SU from the market. The OP had SU installed in /system which is NOT possible for a market app to do if it is just being restored. If you root a phone and install the non-market SU, then logging into another phone will not restore the SU app since it is not from the market.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
That would be my theory, also...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bfroehlich:
Post deleted.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
I'd be going with your theory, take it back and demand a new unit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vonapets:
One of my friends also got this phone from Vodafone and the box was opened and the security tag was broken. He asked me to root it so I went through the motions only to discover that the bootloader was already unlocked. He doesn't know much about Android so i don't expect him to be lying about the bootloader being unlocked. He also mentioned that the unlocked lock came up the first time he turned it on. Odd isn't it?

Not to mention that he pre ordered it here in australia and got one from the first batch. Mine was perfect and sealed..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
What did you use to view files in/system if you weren't rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ozymandiaz:
Siri.

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
Obviously he was rooted if SU was installed..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Two points:

1 -	/system is visible, but not writable without root (/data is writable, but not visible)

2 - he had SuperUser installed, which is a type of firewall, not root. Su, the binary is root, and SuperUser is not...

The fact that SuperUser the app was installed in /system indicates that the phone was rooted at some point and may still be... For me, that's scary!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] YourWorstPoison:
Okay, so I'm just in need of some advice. I got my Epic Touch and decided to root so I could use Calkulin's Rom. So I used Odin to go to EL29 and all was fine. I flashed my Rouge CWM and it worked. I flashed the Rom and that worked pretty well. So I went to flash the ACS ICS theme and I couldn't get it to work. It just sat on the Galaxy S II screen. I don't know if it's something I'm missing or what. So anyways, some help would be greatly appreciated. Thank.

[HTC Sensation] kolokoy:
I need the flash image of HTC Sensation (Black) - splash and animation
[HTC Sensation] Jackos:
Hey, your question is definitely vague.

Please find attached bootsplash images I use in my roms. I'm unsure if this is what you're searching for.
[HTC Sensation] kolokoy:
Can you specify the location to put these files. thanx
[HTC Sensation] Jackos:
Usually we put downanimation.zip and bootanimation.zip into \system\customize\resource, but this is rom dependent.

I have no knowledge of InsertCoin.

In htc_black.7z you'll find htc_black.img - a flashable image.

To flash this splashscreen you'll need to execute this following commands:

adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash splash1 htc_black.img
fastboot reboot
[HTC Sensation] kolokoy:
I found it, for InsertCoin both downanimation and bootanimation can be found

I already change the both downanimation and bootanimation from above post. Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] xdaco:
For any sensation ROM open the following file

/system/customize/CUD/default.xml

You can find the location of your boot animation and boot audio.
[HTC Sensation] kolokoy:
Thanks. I'll centainly try exploring that.. Anyway, i just check the .xml file, i think instead of CUD its CID

Correct:

Sorry typing mistake. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] manii001:
need helpppppppppppp

i M IN desprate need of help. i need someone to guide me how to change my splash screen. my screen size is 400*600. if anyone can provide me with a flashable link of splash screen that would help me alot. the splash screen could be of any picture. blank or android would be prefered.

thanks in advance
[HTC Sensation] hanisod:
First it's 960*540 :cool:

Look in the theme's and apps section. I would love to give you mine but I'm on 3G.

And here's a simpler way:

Use the terminal emulator (or gscript if you don't like to type that text every time)

Just make a folder called "splashscreens" in your sd card inside it put the image file and rename it to "htc" (you can change the names if you want as long as they match the command)

Then in terminal emulator type :

su

Then :

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/splashscreens/htc.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

And sure you must be s-off

And if your device not a Sensation. Don't try it.

Hope this is easier for you ;)
[HTC Sensation] Skipjacks:
If youre screen size is 400 by 600 then you don't have a Sensation, which means do not use ANY advise on how to change a splash screen that you find in this forum. Anything that we suggest that works for the Sensation is very likely to cause massive massive problems to any other device.

Seek this help in the forum for your phone to make sure you get an answer that's compatible.

I think this doesn't work with Asian handsets flashed with the EURO stock ROM.

Just a guess.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thiso:
my phone froze once at 1.6 GHz and even once at 1.5 GHz. Maybe I just have bad luck with oc-ing.

If I have some more freezes I'll go back to max 1.4 GHz...

PS, I have euro handset
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Will give the rom a try on monday soar head to many fizzy drinks last night...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nightmaker:
@tux,

i am interesting with the rom. can u just post one with normal kernel (non-oc) one? all the other remain the same like the oc rom. i think this will benefit so much for people with problematic phone sets which cannot run with oc kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
OK, i will be making this on request of some users, but it will be the V2 version :D

Upcoming tonight, stay tuned!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thiso:
Battery life so far: still 75% after 10 hours of use. Wifi on all the time. 1 hour outdoor run with 3G and GPS. Mainly idle for the rest of the time.

Never saw such good battery life. I guess it is due to the underclocking when asleep. Max CPU freq 1.5 GHz.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
V2 OC and NON OC added ! :D

Again i did test it with a full restore from Titanium, and again it did hold! :p

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nightmaker:
Bro Tux really understands unlucky people who have problem with OC kernel like me.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] nightmaker:
I found a weird solution for anyone who experienced boot loop with OC rom.

While the phone is boot-looping, I plugged in the USB cable connected to my laptop. When the phone is appearing SAMSUNG logo, pull out the cable. Wait and the loop will stop and Galaxy W logo will appear and the phone will continue booting like normal.

Tried this 2 times already, and it worked. Good luck with your device.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thiso:
Hi Tux,

I noticed that you didn't swap internal and external sd like was the case for kezra v2?

Is there a reason not to do so? Perhaps titanium restore? I manually had to put back some apps data after restore since the config files couldn't be found. No major problem though I might still try to swap them back to get more internal memory. (my phone starts complaining already). Or do you advise not to change it for whatever reason?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
Hi tuxbrothers, just one question did ya try running the v6 supercharger script on each rom. Was thinking about it last night. Would it cause problems or make it run extra smooth??

Just downloading V2 OC rom now not much point trying the V1 when ya get more on V2
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thiso:
I am running v6 supercharger without problems

I noticed that regularly the system becomes very slow. I think something is blocking the cpu or RAM. When I go into task manager and clear the RAM closing all applications, the system is smooth again. I don't know if it is related to the ROM or the supercharger. Somebody has similar isues?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] snwman:
But is that not the whole ida around the v6 s/c that you dont need clear the ram in task manager. I thought it manages the memory better on the phone thus helping the ram.. Maybe i read up on it wrong
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
Plenty of reasons to do, But also to do not :p

So ive decided to do it not.

Why is your internal memory card so full?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
Yes you can run v6 on it,if its really being usefull is a different story.....

Some say it give their device wings,other say its giving a lot of lag.

Speaking for myself,i dont feel any difference.

But lets discuss that in another topic. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] gyxter:
Thanks for making a non-OC rom for us TUX. :)

Probably a stupid question:)

Can we use setcpu to non-OC rom? :D

Thanks heaps!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] tesna:
If you want to swap memory card before flashing, just open the .zip file and replace /system/etc/vold.fstab with the vold.fstab from kezra's.

I'm agree with you, I prefer not to swap internal/external storage. When I was using other rom's I always checked the vold.fstab file before flashing. If the cooker / rom maker swap the internal/external storage I always put the original vold.fstab file.

before flashing your ROM I've checked the vold.fstab file before flashing to make sure this rom did not have storage swapping mod :)

The reason I did not like storage swap mod so far I never had any storage space problems, maybe because I did not install too many HD games. My phone also feels generally faster when using the original storage allocation. Maybe because the internal storage reads faster than my class 10 sdcard on mine (tested on Antutu Benchmark) the read speed reaches 20MB/sec+ while my class 10 sdcard only reaches 15MB/sec.

The writing speed of internal storage only about 5MB/sec though, while my class 10 sdcard writes at 15MB/sec.

Btw, this rom working great! I flashed mine this morning and so far so good. Mine has stable speed at 1.8 Ghz :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thiso:
that's indeed the idea, but I don't know if my problems are caused by the script...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
Well you can use setcpu, but it actually wont work I guess :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
Well this was the most important reason for not swap the storage!

I my goal is to make a fast but stable ROM ;)

Thank you! :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Thiso:
I was playing TintinHD, and it needs to be installed on internal mem. I moved the installer to external SD, but it still wants to install to internal. And I don't have space enough for that. Therefore, swapping the memories was my solution...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] robertomarconi1:
Setcpu work without OC, but, limited at 1.4ghz.

Its ok to underclock when you want.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
I understand, and I am sorry for you, but I'm afraid you have to swap it manually, cause I'm not intend to change it or bring out another release ;)

In my opinion it is also ridiculous that the game must be installed to internal memory,I would suggest to send an mail to the game developers.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] robertomarconi1:
I am using non oc version and its ok. Gps work really fine again. Thanks tux.

Suggestion...

Remove swype(beta downliad its better)

Install astro file manage to enable any download (dont work without)

Remove samsung kies because can be dl in market.

Install any walpaper to fix wallpaper forceclose.

Remove samsung apps to slim

Remove music and install google music(or force market enabler to permit dl from market)

If you can... Undervolt non oc kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] TuxBrothers:
If I would do that, then for sure the phone will crash after a restore from backup!

And specially that was one of my goals for this ROM ;)

So its not a good idea, but thanks for input anyway :)
