Hello

I rooted my new Galaxy 5 running Eclair, but the file /default.prop still contains

ro.secure=1

instead of

ro.secure=0

I was able to change these settings by remounting the file system in read-write mode, but the changes didn't not survive a reboot.

By searching about this, I understood the changes should happen into the recovery partition, from which the system will boot next time (is this correct?).

My question is: which partition do I have to mount for modifying the contents of the root partition after next reboot, if this is possible?

I am using Ubuntu and I don't have odin neither fastboot working. I would prefer to do everything from the adb shell.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonynz:
Hi guys,

I recently got an insurance replacement for my GSII and it had quite an old software on it (KE2 I think).

So I plugged into Kies and it upgraded into the latest KJ1 successfully.

What I've noticed is that the screen is a lot darker - even in automatic brightness, it's very dim and dark.

Is this suppose to be like this?

I have healthy battery life (i.e. not low or anything), and with Automatic brightness enabled, it's just too dark! Never used to be like this with all other Roms I've used including 4.0.3!

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
No it is not suppose to be like that. Sometimes when they send you a replacement they send you a refurbished one. What i mean by that is they send you another phone that was send back by another user during the 7day period that they allowed to use a phone.

That could be one of the reasons and you was unlucky to receive that one. My best bet what i would of done in your shoes call your insurance company back and explain the situation and ask them to receive another one as a replacement as clearly there is something wrong with it. Might be wrong but i am such a neat freak i like my phones to be perfect. Let me know how you get on
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tonynz:
I can confirm that it is a refurbished unit. No original box and non-original charger.

Sealed though... with screen seals and the back had the plastic pieces on.

However, I really think it's the ROM - when it was on the old ROM, the screen looked normal. Also I've just compared it to my friend's SGSII and think it's fine.. so maybe just my silly eyes?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suarez7:
Go into settings - display - brightness and then adjust it to what you find suitable. Then scroll further down and untick the auto adjust screen power. See if it makes any difference. And depends what kernel you flash has a big difference to the color screens but still try what i just wrote and it should be better
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kops:
I'm currently running THS build 15, and I absolutely love it. The only thing preventing this ROM from being pretty much complete in my books (other than some of the 'placeholder' settings) is the fact that the Trebuchet launcher doesn't allow hiding of apps in the app drawer. I hate clutter, especially since I don't use 90% of the 2 pages of apps that come with it by default.

I love the ICS theme and the ICS drawer, but are there any ICS launchers that are similar but allow hiding of apps in the app drawer?

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Weissi46:
you could try go launcher with ics theme
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crulor:
So I do, works perfect for me. Go Launcher is the best one atm imho :rolleyes:
[HD2 General] kevinwalter:
Hi,

I've got and repaired HTC. because my old one had that back button problem.

Now I've got a new one. The normal 6.5 software is running OK on it without any hanging.

Then I've installed HardSPL and magldr on it. First I've had installed Windows Phone 7.5. The phone reboots sometimes (wich is normal because of the touch screen driver). But the strange thing is that it hangs sometimes before magldr(at the green HTC logo). Then I've installed an Android (rafpigna 1.8 jeahh oldtimer) rom. It was working better then WP7 but it hangs. It was working great on my old HD2.

Now I've flashed 6.5 back and it's working ok again without reboots and random hangs.

The phone isn't hot or something!

Does anyone know a fix for this?

Is it maybe because hardSPL was installed wrong?

Kevin.
[HD2 General] prime_225:
What radio are you using?
[HD2 General] kevinwalter:
I was using the newest one (2.15??) I've restored him to 6.5 and sending him back to HTC. (Again) I think there is short circuit or something...

Ok, tell me what HTC has said after your phone returns.

[HD7 General] excalibur1814:
Well...

We've got around 20 ish Windows mobile phones here ranging from the Optimus 7 to the Titan and in the last two weeks TWO HD7 phones have, for no known reason, decided to stop at the HTC initial boot screen.

Both phones had the latest update and were being used day to day with zero application installs as they don't even know how to do that. One may have not charged the phone and let it run down while the other just turned it off at night and in the morning turned it back on again.

With the first phone (last week) I tried all the usual methods but eventrually decided to send back to HTC. I'm wondering how many times this has happened and to how many people!
[HD7 General] sincity7:
Do you have the stock rom, or another one? Have you tried remove the battery and leave it without battery for some minutes? also maybe tou have installed a bad xap, as it happened me once, and after unistalled it, everything worked fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I had some requests to make a stock Maguro 4.0.3 build. The one thing I don't have is a stock build.prop from yakju.

Can someone post one please?

Thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] dhemke17:
I will be porting up several of your favorite themes for the latest stock ICS rom. I will be doing this on a deodexed version of the rom so the first thing I need to post is a patch to deodex the rom that Starche has posted for us. This can be found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1446469

Just flash this in recovery and it does not require you to wipe your data. If anything FC on first boot, please use Rom Explorer or the likes to check your system/app and system/framework folders and delete any .odex files and reboot. Please make note of any I missed so I can update the updater.script.

Picked up a grey 32GB at Best Buy yesterday. Got home, charged and then connected to my wireless: Netgear WNDR4500. It connected but said I was at -1mbps. Minus? Reset the router, restarted the tablet/computer/dsl gate/etc. Still -1mbps.

I remembered where the antenna was from Anand's teardown so I moderately thumped it with a flick of my finger (like playing paper football with the triangles). As soon as I did BAM! 65mbps! Seriously? Should I keep this thing or take it back?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Barff1984:
might as well keep it...it'll be under warranty if it goes again....and you never know if there's more stock available.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Evo_Shift:
It shouldn't revert again most likely since if the pogo pin antenna thing was stuck in the down position it is now in the up position with no way of being pushed down again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
I concur

Modded by MBOK
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I would carefully evaluate the unit to make sure EVERYTHING else works to your satisfaction: audio, haptic feedback, screen quality (not too yellow, good colors, solid text), GPS (to whatever extent it matters to you), microphone, touchscreen, etc.

If everything checks out, then consider keeping it. I'm faced with the same sort of decision myself. I have three sitting in my house that I'm trying to decide between (or return all of them and get a different one entirely, or even just give up):

1. Great screen (excellent temp, great colors, very solid text) except for one stuck pixel, decent haptic feedback, but a vibration from the speakers at full volume, non-functional GPS, weaker wifi.

2. Good screen (a little warmer than #1, colors are good but not as much detail, text decent but not as sharp) but a little light bleed, great GPS (locks quickly to many satellites indoors, as many as 12/14 outdoors), stronger wifi, but broken haptic feedback and stains on the backplate that I can't remove.

3. Horrible screen (whites are a dingy yellow, color is washed out, text is pixellated), non-functional haptic feedback, good audio, good GPS and wifi.

All three are BCs and 0214 hardware builds. #3 is clearly going back, but with #1 and #2 I have to choose between the best screen I've seen on a Prime and the rest that's wrong with it. Not an easy choice--I can see details in images on its screen that I can't see on #2.

My point? As Forrest Gump would say, you never know what you're gonna get. If you return the one you have, you run the risk of getting one with more of a problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Cozmo85:
Peoples warranty experiences with asus have been less than satisfactory, not to mention they make you pay freight.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
Admittedly off topic but did you buy these all from 1 place? We are clearly in different leagues as I would not have the balls to return three of these to the same vendor not to mention explaining the $1500 in charges to the credit card to compare screen colors to my wife. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] samzin:
Could be the pogo pins... if the SN starts with BC0CK it has bad hardware probably
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Savedsol:
Last night all was well. It is a BC but I've not heard/read any bad BC stories unlike some bad C stories.
[Kindle Fire General] inspire me:
Which rom is the most stable for kindle fire?
[Kindle Fire General] interceptor_1972:
At the present time, I'd say that JackpotCalvin's ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1411895) should be the more stable ROM suitable for daily use. Also the one that gets more frequent updates.
[Kindle Fire General] treUse:
There is only 1 ICS from available.
[Kindle Fire General] fenduru:
I'd have to agree with interceptor_1972 on this. Definitely JackpotClavin's ROM.

That being said, I wouldn't recommend it for daily use just yet. There are constantly updates which is great for having a developing ROM, but not good when you are constantly flashing over your device to fix a few bugs.

Good to try out, maybe light daily use, but don't expect it to work for all of your needs.
[Kindle Fire General] damianarnold:
I wish there were constant updates but they are almost as frequent as Amazon's Official TBH.

CM7 is very good, superb performance and reliable. CM9/ICS is quite a way from reaching the CM7 level at the moment, a few more releases and we'll be close to a stable beta.

The MoDaCo Gr6 is very good, offering you the Amazon experience with a few worthwhile tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
I know a lot of people think they're useless but, for me, it's a guilty pleasure of sorts - i find them to be irresistible and it's one thing that makes iphone fanboys seethe with envy.

Unfortunately not all of them are optimized to run smooth on our devices - i've only found two so far which do.

EDIT: Updated list:

1. Phase beam

2. Digital Rain

3. Solar Winds

4. Luna Stream

5. Black hole

6. Pixel Rain

7. Sparkies

8. Mystic Halo

9. Crazy Colors

10. Rays of light

11. Vortex Galaxy

12. Nexus revamped

13. Aquarium free

14. Matrix LWP

Help me expand the list!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Galaxy from aosp also does not lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wyase9:
Solar winds and Luna stream work well.

Just like you, I want a good and sexy lwp that doesn't lag and one that uses minimal battery.....not sure if there are many more that meet that criteria
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] offenberg:
If you use nova launcher, you will find that most lwp doesnt lag. The stock launcher lags alot using almost every lwp. The org nexus lwp from the nexus one is still my fav. You can download nexus kang lwp from the market and customize it as you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] npopov:
Where can I get these wallpapers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chilled26:
Black Hole runs smooth for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Adreno:
None lag if you go into settings/developer/force 2d GPU
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pakxelaos:
I try that, but still lag on Microbes
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Chilled26:
Not Microbes :-\
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s.m.knipe:
Maybe I'm just not sensitive to it, but I don't notice any lag on the Beautiful Weather LWP by Levelup Studio (The Beautiful Widgets people), plus it looks amazing on this screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
Phase Beam part of stock and Digital rain can be found in the market, or here:

http://www.appbrain.com/app/digital-rain-live-wallpaper/gs.akira.digitalrain
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NPuter:
+1 - I love this LWP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frad:
Thanks for the list! I too have been looking for LWP's that run smoothly. One question, can you post a screen shot of the "Galaxy" wallpaper? Is this the same Galaxy wallpaper from Gingerbread?

I have a Galaxy Nexus and I don't see any live wallpaper called "Galaxy".

If it is the same one from Gingerbread (and Froyo for that matter), could someone post the updated apk for the Galaxy Nexus. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
it's actually 'galaxy4', or 'black hole'.

Some great suggestions so far. Pixel Rain and Sparkies don't lag too.

As pointed out by many, there's a definite pattern here - LWP's with static backgrounds (i.e which don't move with the homescreen) don't lag
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] frad:
Thanks for the reply.... so in that case what is the difference between #3 and #6?

I have #6, aka Black Hole. What I don't have is "Galaxy".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
That is a warez site and although they are free... you might get banned for posting those links. FYI.

I've been using Digital Rain. Black Background and matches ICS well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
thanks for the heads-up. didn't realize it was a warez site, just searched for galaxy4.

Link removed from the main post.

Agree with the black but most if not all the the LWPs that don't lag are on a static black background. Getting a bit samey, though i'm digging rays of light at the moment

I really wish galaxy pack and galactic core ran smoothly on the GN - those are just made for this 'galaxy' nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] omersak:
good point. fixed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Machaira:
I see more than one "black hole" listed in the market. Which one? Also, I use Nexus Wallpaper Revamped, and it works well (though I don't tax it).

Hi,

I've installed the Sandvod rom.

ICS on my HTC Desire.

But I'm exhausted because of the little space on internal memory.

So I read this

But and poor of me, I can run the command :

- a2sd cachesd

- a2sd check ...

When I run "a2sd cachesd", I have this result

[]Invalid command

Available commands are :

I tried to launch "a2sd install" and the mobile reboot...but.

Any advices ?

Thanks in advance.

I've got Xj miui rom, but would think dt a2sd should be the same

In terminal type

Su

A2sd check

In order for a2sd to work properly make sure the following boxes are checked as per my terminal screen dump.....before you do anything make sure zipalign happens at boot

if not run a2sd zipalign in terminal

Then a2sd reinstall

That should remove the no apps to SD flag meaning that any app you download will go to the SD card.

Once you've got it running properly run a2sd cache SD .

If you download quick system info it will give you accurate info.

If your struggling to get a2sd running properly you can download a2sd GUI from market.

Also try not and be tempted to run other commands with dt a2sd such as a2sd datasd and a2sd cachepart. This can cause your phone to run slow.

Also did you try su a2sd check....is zipalign happening at boot if not that needs to be sorted out first.

Sorry my bad. I assumed that it was darktremmors script

You have an a2sd version other than dt thats baked ito the rom so a2sdgui will not work...when you followed the sandvolds instructions did you get the option to move the dalvic at step 6 if not did you follow instructions at step 6.5 and reboot to try again. You said it rebooted but.....?

Did you install an sdext, is it working.

Can you run su a2sd check and post a screen dump.

I can understand hacking Android onto any phone, as its robust, has a huge source of developers engaged in this type of work, and are generally supportive. With IOS however, being closed source, its just going to be a huge headache. Better off grabbing a IPhone 4 off ebay then to bother hacking this onto the device.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGillycuddy:
Hello there,

I just got my Tab a week ago and I'm very happy with it. I'm having a problem though with the email app on the tablet.

Whenever I receive an email with an attachment, it shows that the email has an attachment, but I cant open it. Doesnt give me anything to click on. Anyone else have this problem or knows a solution?

Second question: I tried playing movie/tv series on my tablet, which seems to work fine except for .mkv files. After some research on the internet, I downloaded several movie players in the market, none of which seem to be able to play mkv files properly. Video and sound is desyncronized and the image misses frames (looks like slow motion).

Only player which managed to play it properly is "Dice player". Although it skips like 12 seconds at the beginning of the video.

Thanks a lot.
