[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bakewelluk:
It sounds like it might actually be a hardware fault - basically what's happening is that something on the phone (whether hardware or software related) is triggering it to think it's being connected to a dock. The desk clock is what pops up as soon as you put the phone in a Samsung desktop dock and car mode similarly pops up when you use the vehicle dock, so there may be something funny going on with your phone's connecter that leads it to think these events are happening. (The weirdly arranged home screens tie in to this, as they can be a slightly buggy result of unplugging the phone from the one of the docks while in landscape mode - the launcher tries to load the home screens in landscape and just makes a mess.)

As a bit of a bodge-job fix you can install an app from the market called 'NoDock' if you're rooted, as this stops the phone ever being triggered in to dock mode, but to be honest id say your best bet is to speak to O2 or a Samsung service centre about getting it fixed or replaced!

Anyway, I hope this helps and you manage to get it sorted - I don't know what I'd do without my Galaxy S2!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AJ.Rockwell:
Hello, quite a late night here as well but I'll try to give you my insight (and then slam myself to the bed :D)

It seems that the widget in your device went corrupt and perhaps then some more... I recommend backing up your data and then doing a factory reset and eventually re-flashing thru kies (come to think of it, i don't really know if KIES supports full-wipe reflash O.o). Also, for customizing the quicklaunch bar, use GO Launcher EX (free from the market) - its customizability far surpasses that one of the TouchWiz :)

If a factory reset doesn't help, you can help yourself by reflashing the original firmware by yourself via ODIN (but be sure to read tutorials and know your firmware first!), you'll find all the needed information here :)

Hope you get your problem resolved :)

I am thinking about getting a Verizon gnex. One specific function I am looking for is screen mirroring or navigation only output to my car DVD player. My DVD player only has component inputs. Yellow, red, white. Is there an adapter that would patch into that, and what are the video output possibilities on the device so far?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hydera5:
I as well was looking into the same thing. I couldn't find one one the web anywhere I looked. So if you can't find one there may be an alternative. You could try to cook up your own adapter if you know a little bit about circuitry and have some soldering skills.

Hope this helps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajansurfer:
You will need a MHL to HDMI cable as well as an HDMI to composite converter box such as this:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0047PDBP0/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1328454437&sr=8-1

Unfortunately that box needs to be powered so you will need to either get a DC to AC inverter to plug in to the cigarette lighter and then plug in the adapter that came with the box or find something that will scale the DC voltage from the car battery to whatever voltage is required by the converter.

It sounds complicated but isn't really. Good luck!

[HTC EVO 3D] Bacardi222:
Hey all, got a question about my camera. Basically, it won't work and I'm not sure why haha. I'm kind of a noob when it comes to these things just FYI.

So, I flashed viper rom and the camera doesn't work, however, it didn't work with my previous rom either which was CM7. When I open the camera app it just immediately crashes. I'm running stock kernel, the newest build of viper rom, hboot 1.4.

Any help is appreciated and if there's any other info you need please ask!

Thanks a lot.

So I can't help but realize that a lot of people here flash roms like crazy. Well, I am the kind of guy that likes to have my own cool setup with all my home screens, like apps, widgets, etc.

Is there a way to back up and restore so when I flash a new rom I can restore where all of my apps were on what screen and maybe even my widgets and what not.

Any help would be greats, thanks guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CyanModICS:
Yes. You can use titanium backup to backup your launcher, or you can use ROM manager to backup your current ROM.

But what if I switch to another rom? The only option I have is to download that launcher and restore on that launcher? Makes sense if you can't, but just wondering.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chino9656:
I've been wondering the same thing myself...I've been testing out different roms all week since I got this thing...I've stopped trying to set up email, backgrounds, themes, or widgets. If there was a way to restore the home page layouts, that would be great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] learning2livelyf:
I user go launcher ex. I set up my home pages the way I like it. Then I export the settings and import settings on new ROM. As far as individual settings for apps, use titanium backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] casperi:
I use SPB as my launcher of choice along with ti and does exactly that folders and all. infanct its so good that as long as i have root on any device and the same apps installed say on a tablet then when i install SPB on it from the market it already knows my layout. if im missing an app or two then they just dont show up. but alteast i dont have to rebuild my entire "desktop" all over again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KillaHurtz:
After you make a backup in CWM and flash the new rom, you can always try to advanced restore in CWM just the data partition. I have done this before but it doesnt work across builds with wayyy different frameworks or basebands. Goodluck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CyanModICS:
Just use titanium backup... it will restore the launcher and all of its data! Its great... it works even if you delete the launcher or flash a different rom

Sent from my SGH-T989 with ClockworkMod ★Touch★ Recovery 5.8.1.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mstrk242:
This really depends. If you're using the stock launcher that came with the rom, You really don't want to restore system apps on titanium, it'll cause issues. If you're like a lot of users and use a third party launcher, it's easy, because all the data gets easily backup up with it. If, for example, you're using a touchwiz based rom, it's not really easy. An alternative would be to download the modded touchwiz 4.5 (on the boards somewhere, I forget where exactly), and install that on your next rom. This way, when you do the setup for it, it'll be on /data and can be easily backed up with titanium backup, and restored. (Your widgets will show an error and you'll have to re-add them, but that happens on almost all launchers when a restore is done.)

As for doing an advanced restore with cwm, it's really hit and miss. What you're doing is restore the entire /data partition from one rom to another. If the roms have the exact same base, and very minimal differences, this might work. Some changes between roms this method works flawlessly, others it causes issues. You won't know until you try. Just do a backup in cwm, and a backup with titanium backup (do user app backup only, don't do system.) This way you have both ends covered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xile6:
I always use my backup pro. It restores app + data if rooted, and other data like system settings, contacts, bookmarks etc..

Its in the market check it out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Android Revolution:
To answer your question a little more directly and differently than others, the answer to your question is no.

There is no way to restore your home screens exactly how you had them before you flashed a ROM. You can restore your apps and settings via the methods offered by others, but it will not put shortcuts and widgets exactly where you had them on your home screens.

For the home screen import, you have to already have a ROM installed and a home screen set up. That is only for installing a different launcher.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Teo032:
Actually if you're using mybackup root or pro. You can... Backup> data> android home.

Well this is if you flash a rom that uses the same launcher (i think.. Haven't tried it with different launchers). Most roms are tw anyways. But this is probably your best bet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
This is what I do every time I flash a new rom works every time. Do the titanium thing to just as a back up.

Keep a copy backed up on your computer, in case you wipe you emmc " did that once" lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] user0071:
Do titanium backup and restore only data no system and don't enter any Google email if you have more than 1 phone to have a same setup, then do the ROM backup when all apps restored. That backup will be universal (without Google ID) and you can restore to any phone (your wife, friend..) Once restore they just enter their own ID and all set.

Titanium restore needs to answer yes no install...for each app. Take about 30 min to restore.

CWM process faster but for same ROM.

changing ROM needs titanium backup and restore without Google ID.

an AROMA based Touch UI Recovery Installer

As seen on Valhalla Black Edition and Team Acid AOKP​

Please tell me if you're going to use this in your ROMs just so I know who is using it :). Thank you.

This is for ROM chefs only, not for regular users. Regular users, you will see this in all your ROMs soon ;).

All the instructions below refer to the files in META-INF/com/google/android

You can change the splash image by replacing aroma/splash.png (make sure it's a PNG though)

As mentioned in the installation instructions, make sure your ROM's zip file matches that of Valhalla Black Final's for best results.

Full touch screen support

Allows for a typical install, using default settings

Allows the user to customize the ROM installation

Allows the chef to customize the user experience

Support for different themes/skins

Installs Busybox

Installs kernel if you desire

Installs modem if you desire

No need to check mounts, the installer properly mounts the partitions for you.

No need to format partitions, the installer can wipe them for you.

Download and extract the installer zip file

Edit aroma/installer.default.prop to set your ROM's information

Rename installer.default.prop to installer.prop

Edit aroma-config and updater-script to your liking

Extract your current ROM's zip

Delete your ROM's META-INF folder

Put the new SGS4G CWM Rom Installer's META-INF and tools folders in your ROM's root

Make sure your ROM's file structure matches that of AOKP Unofficial by TeamAcid, unless you know what you're doing

Create a new zip file

Flash away and test!

Edited updater script to output all installer options to one prop file

Now using variables in aroma-config for easier writing of the final options.prop file

Cleaned up updater-script to only use one .prop file

Fixed a bug that would make the wipe /data dialog come up even when deselected in the customized install

The script will now ask the user if they want to reboot their phones in all instances before the install gets going.

Now using Roboto font

Added color.prop file to control theme colors

Updated the wording on the install type chooser
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] GreyDark:
Panicking right now because I can't seem to PM you FB.

I hope I don't come off as a stickler for details, but there's just a single typo in what is the 6th screenshot posted in the OP. It's for the option where you can choose to Wipe Data.

"...another ROM. Don't select if you want to keep your ap"

I'm assuming it was supposed to say "apps."

Just wanted to make note of it as I saw that Raver updated the contents in the aroma folder within the META-INF directory for his Valhalla Black rom. I was just thinking the typo might've been updated or something somehow.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
Ah. Hehe, there's no typo in the config file, so it looks like the AROMA installer has a text string limit so it cut it off early. It should've said "Deletes all files from this partition. Recommended if you're coming from another ROM. Don't select if you want to keep your apps and customizations." I guess I'll shorten it.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Are you using latest script?

Did you do a typical install?

If yes to both, I know the issue.

Hypothetically, the script won't generate the file if the typical install is checked. The error with the script is that there is no "if then" for displaying the message with typical install. It won't make a difference though. It is just a graphical error.

If not, then there is something wrong with the script. I will look at it.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:

You mean amarullz? He's the programmer for the AROMA installer.

Raver used the older version of the installer, not the latest I have on the git repo. The git repo version is fixed and has other additions to it. Thank you for posting the bug though.

I'll see if I can throw the update into the same zip file that's already linked to the post. Will probably happen this weekend though since I just started school.

Hi FB

As Alon wrote, we will use the Aroma installer on our next version of Hebrew Valhalla.

One question I have for you, kindly to answer is :

How can one implement different installation options, where in each option other files will be extracted to the same place (system). We currently use extract command to copy all content at once to system folder.

Thanks!

Sent from me
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The current implementation of the installer will do just that for you, as long as your folder structure is exactly like valhalla black's.

I say you wait a bit since the AROMA developer is working on adding RTL support to his installer, along with UTF8 fonts so that you guys can have a hebrew installer. You'll be able to give your users a "Choose your language" screen also :).

Cool stuff coming ahead.

Basically you'd need to copy over the new update-binary from the latest nightly, but there's no RTL support yet, only UTF8 so far. I'll make the changes and push them to github once amarullz releases version 2.0.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Thanks FB

Since most ROMs are including this:

Does it delete the previous backup info from the bonsia folder? If it doesn't anyway to make it do so or allow an option to use current backup? Easy enough to delete manually so just a thought.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
explain. Sounds interesting.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
So it creates a folder bonsai-backup then puts the backup info in there as cpio. When you flash another ROM that uses the installer since the file is already there can we just have it use that file instead of creating a new one?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
:D. I like this. With the new functions that got added to aroma 1.6 it'll be very possible. I'll look into a way of implementing this.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Just seems like such a simple way to go about it. Saves space and time. If it's possible that would be awesome. Could say something like "Existing backup detected: Would you like to use it? Y/N"

Yup, exactly what I was thinking.
