[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thindboy:
Hi,

I feel like a complete idiot right now!

I wanted to have the cyanogenmod on my S II so i downloaded the codeworkx's kernel with the ClockworkMod Recovery and the Heimdall Suite.

I flashed the kernel using the following command:

heimdall flash --kernel zImage

And after that my SII just won't boot!! It freezes at the inital bootscreen with Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100 logo!

I don't even know what my Stock kernel is!! I can't boot so i don't have any chance to go into the settings and figure out what XX Build i have!!

I am from Austria. I bought it from the store without any carrier brandings. I tried to flash the following kernel via odin but the only difference after kernel flash is that the yellow triangle is gone.. but it still doesn't boot:

XWKI4

Firmware info

PDA:XWKI4

PHONE: XXKI1

Date: 14/09/2011

Android 2.3.4

I downloaded the kernel from HERE:

But i am not even sure if this is the correct kernel!!

While i was in the CW Recovery i did a cache wipe, data wipe and dalvik cache wipe!

Right now i don't give a damn about custom roms. I just want to have my SII running again.

PLEASE help me =(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattyh77:
Flash a complete Rom.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firewave:
Perfect, you've got CWM working, so it's time to flash CM9, that's what you was looking for right? After flashing complete rom, you will have a fresh new SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thindboy:
Thank you!

I flashed a complete Rom with XWKI4 Build.

Now its working!

I then flashed a modified KI4 kernel for root access: worked fine!

I tried to flash CM7: just doesn't work! In the Recovery Mode when i press install update.zip, it just takes 5 seconds to complete the installation and then the home button reacts as volume down! So i cannot reboot as it always goes down when i press the home button!

I shut down SII pressing the power off button and then switch it on again and nothing changed! No CM7 installed.

Now i am thinking of flashing the litening rom!

It is Based on official XXKH3 Firmware. But i have the XWKI4 Build and not to forget, the modified KI4 root kernel.

Can i Flash this rom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rixsta:
This is the perfect example of what flashing does without reading and learning first.

Crazy, then you expect everyone to help because you couldn't be bothered to read.

From your posts its obvious you have no idea.

Another headless zombie troll, I'm sure when you get it sorted I'll see you in the theme section asking more questions and wanting to be spoon fed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricey1986:
Flash it twice the first flash only flashes the kernel

i really am not huge on samsung and really like htc sooo we shall seeeee :P
[EVO 4G General] Charleshrg20:
I don't think I can ever leave my Evo
[EVO 4G General] devnulldroid:
EVO 4G will be right next the C64 and its 64K ram expansion unit and tape drive within my personal museum. ;) As for next phone..who knows.. too early to tell.
[EVO 4G General] ct214:
Is HTC gonna get hit with all the patent mess from Apple? I lost track of what was going on but last I saw, Apple was suing over a patent on the ability to click on a phone number within a webpage and have it dial the number. At the time, it wasn't going to affect imports for a few months. Anyone heard anything?
[EVO 4G General] mmhama2:
The galaxy nexus looks pretty appealing. Although I would like to stick with HTC. Hopefully they come out with a phone that has a screen like the nexus or the epic touch.
[EVO 4G General] stm8:
I get one more Premier Gold 1-year upgrade on April 1st. If the Galaxy Nexus is out by then, I'll get one. Otherwise, probably the Epic Touch 4G.

I wish HTC would come out with something hot between now and then.
[EVO 4G General] Charleshrg20:
How are you still able to get a one year up? That ended forever ago didn't think they were doing anymore grandfathering in.
[EVO 4G General] HoDawg:
Galaxy S2
[EVO 4G General] stm8:
Gold Premier (10+ years) customers were given one last one-year upgrade if they were close to their date. Don't remember the time frame, but my acct reflects this. Got my EVO last April, and I'm eligible 04/01/2012.

They ended one-year upgrades for Silver Premier customers last April. Gold customers ended 12/31/2011, with one more upgrade granted.
[EVO 4G General] abrigham:
Got mine on launch day and I'm eligible for an upgrade on 4/1... My wife just got the Galaxy SII and loves it... Thinking that or the Galaxy Nexus if it's here by then. Hate to leave HTC, though, been with them since my first smartphone so we'll see what they have out by then, too...
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
Feel the same way. Every Samsung anyone I've ever known was CRAP. Hate to leave HTC, but sure hope they drop something nice soon.
[EVO 4G General] ekbuz:
I'm getting a used Epic Touch (soon) and waiting to see what Sprint does with LTE. I like the Nexus, but hate that they don't have microSD slots. I've been a huge HTC fan and would love to stay with them, but right now Samsung is putting out all the phones that catch my attention (GS2, Nexus, Note, etc).
[EVO 4G General] christiantailor:
I went to a Nexus S 4g. I still have wife's evo play with ;)

[EVO 4G General] Krunkatron:
Unless Sprint brings up something big I might just stick with my Evo for the foreseeable future, I love this phone.
[EVO 4G General] rocket999:
I'm planning on selling my EVO to buy an Epic 4G touch (GS2) in the next month or so. I've had my EVO for a year now, and it's just staring to feel slow even though it's very tweaked and modded.

Then once I have an actual upgrade in a year I'll get something quad core + LTE.....
[EVO 4G General] twister99403:
I love my E3D :)
[EVO 4G General] :
I've had my eye on the galaxy nexus for a while now. I love vanilla Android, however I fear by the time the GNex hits Sprint we'll all be drooling over the GSIII. Technology moves fast, Sprint cannot afford to sit on this phone too much longer.
[EVO 4G General] ECrispy:
Not upgrading until true next gen phones come out. i.e with 28mm SoC chipset's that will work on LTE without draining battery.

I've used a Evo 3D, Epic Touch 4G, and a Nexus, and I didn't feel a big wow factor compared to my Evo.
[EVO 4G General] aburgthing:
^My sentiments exactly.
[EVO 4G General] Bruce lee roy:
Nexus S 4g is a beast!
[EVO 4G General] Mcoupe:
Not sure if the HTC Edge was mentioned. I too like HTC phones, and would love to see sprint pick this one up. If not I may keep my Evo till something else. NEXUS will already be aging by the time sprint picks it up.
[EVO 4G General] nathanspears:
The Note

The Note would be amazing but I do wonder if the 5.3 inch screen is just too big. I will need to carry around a backpack just to keep it safe. I wish they would keep the Evo alive and make a revamped version. Maybe 4.7 inch screen, quad core processor, 2 gigs of internal memory, sd card up to 64 gb. Now that would be my pick. Maybe 8 MP Dual Cameras to take 3D pictures. 3.0 MP camera in the front.
[EVO 4G General] MrDSL:
I will be getting an unlocked Inter.. Galaxy Note and probably keep that till the Note 2 comes out..

I've had it with Sprint and CDMA in general.
[EVO 4G General] _TXN_:
I just got a refurbished Evo at Christmas and I am hoping it will make it until the Samsung Galaxy III comes out.

I seems like HTC has been slacking. I was told by a Sprint employee that the new Evo Design is basically a Hero II.
[EVO 4G General] sabin510:
I was wishing for the same thing, love my EVO and the nifty kick stand is a must have. Never realized how much I would use that haha
[EVO 4G General] :
something with hdmi output like the evo, and hopefully a kickstand lol
[EVO 4G General] CeloCRF:
I had the Evo since the first week it came out and resisted the urge to upgrade to the 3D. This is the first time I ever kept the same phone for such long time and didnt feel the need to upgrade.

Now I am considering using that upgrade discount to grab the Galaxy SIII when available. I thought the SII was a cool phone but decided to hang on until the SIII comes out this year.
[EVO 4G General] :
Had the evo forever I switched to at&t and got the GSII skyrocket wicked fast but I miss my evo gotta be honest but forget sprints data
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikey000:
Hi everyone, just bought a neo V a couple days ago,and i have some noob questions, when i read the phone specs it said the ram was 512mb, but when i check its only about 300mb total, and the last one, i have a screen blinks when day, is it only the light sensors or what?, need answers thanks

Sent from my MT11i
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] DeathCzar:
What do you mean by the screen blinks???

Does it blink when brightness is full?

If it doesn't blink with full brightness, then you may have a faulty ambient light sensor.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] zmbutt:
I think he is also pissed off with "ambient light sensor" Auto brightness feature, which unfortunately we can't turn off (without root)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] LenAsh:
I think the OP means flicker, which is a "feature" on SE 2011 phones... the autobrightness modulates the screen brightness rather quickly and is generally more obvious in low light conditions.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mikey000:
I think i found the answer, its what u guys told, the ambient or auto ****s sony has..

Thanks for the answers

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
I am interested in changing the color of the text of the status bar. I have already modified all the images I need, now just need to modify the xml.

I am modifying the framework-res.apk colors xml. After I have made the change I recompile the apk. Switch out the Meta-INF and AndroidManifest.xml with the ones from the original apk but when I push to my phone the color of the status bar text isn't changing. These are the lines I have changed:

<color name="status_bar_text">#ff73cd68</color>

<color name="status_bar_clock_text">#ff73cd68</color>
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidc23:
You might find better luck actually pming a themer or posting it in the theme section. Not much Turner's drop by here
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
yeah I was thinking that, I might just check on the irc channel. Thanks for looking out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] globalninja:
Hmmm did you reboot the phone?

Sent from my Epic™ 4G Touch
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
Yeah, I didn't actually push the framework. I created a flashable zip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fnut6969:
If you got the framework-res.apk to recompile without errors then the changes you made should definitely work. There is no need to sawp anything owhen recompiling, just edit the xml, recompile it as a system app and push it to system/app via root explorer or any equivalent.

Which ROM framework are you trying to modify?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
Thanks ill give that I try.

I am actually modifying the ICS theme for Cakulin's rom.

**Doesn't seem to work either. I should be changing the colors.xml in the framework-res.apk right?

Got it: Make sure to delete the stupid resources.arsc!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fnut6969:
Yes, and although you won't find the values folder when you recompile you'll still need to delete the resources.arsc when recompiling, if you'd like, you can attach the framework-res.apk you're trying to modify and I can change it for you.

I also, stated inadvertently, to place it in system/app that is incorrect it goes in system/framework which may actually be part of the problem.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dtm_stretch:
I got it figured out, just before you posted about the resources. Now I just got to figure out why my launcher keeps restarting.
[LG Optimus Black] aloneman5:
Hi guys

I want to buy a PDA but I dont decide what I buy

Can you help me?

which is important for me is browser speed.

I use phone for surfing the net. I'm very use the Net

I want to a fast browser surfing

which

camera?

screen?

speed (general)?

speed (browser)?

i m sorry i have a bad english.i am from Turkey.
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
What u should think about most, is the battery. You can always use custom roms, which boost the phone, or an alternative browser, like opera, which also speeds up surfing. So better think about battery, than browsing speed ;) hope this helps :)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
umm....

1. camera - similar, but lg has 2 mp front cam

2. screen - depends...both are good. if you stay out on sun more,consider the black a better deal

3. browser - windows wins in rendering speed.

3. general - windows phone 7's UI is designed to give you a feeling of being fast.

however, GPU of the black is better. and also it has LOADS of apps :D :D
[General Questions and Answers] techmonstr24:
So heres what happened... I had my phone on RCMix ICS 4.0.3.. Then because the apps kept on FCing, i thought about using another ROm. I booted into MIUI, which i liked, but went back to RCMix.. It worked fine. then i booted into DarkForest ICS without flashing. ANdnow im stuck in bootloop! so i followed a youtube video showing how to undo an EVO 3d's bootloop. IT didnt work. It said in the video to boot a new rom, i used aRHD which took away CWM and gave me 4ext. HELP URGENT! I'm using StarHub telco in Singapore! any singaporeans who can help me do it? i suck at this stuff.

The only ROM's for this handset are modifications and improvements on sense based roms, there are no other roms available as yet, except maybe the unstable half working ICS port, which looks promising.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] azz72:
Well I saw on another site that they were running coredroid so I was confused so I figured I would ask the experts. Im use to the inspire cuz I just got the vivid so I wasn't really sure. I know some devices can interchange roms with others so I didn't know if the vivid and inspire can do the same. I looked in the development section over and over but I wanted to make sure, so I asked a simple question. Next time I won't ask anything... And no a WTF is never in order with any question this is a fourm site for questions and answers...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Pirateghost:
No, dude. You asked what version you could install. You didn't ask if it was available. There are so many differences between this phone and an inspire. Smh

I will use a wtf whenever and wherever I please so quit crying and put some f'n big boy pants on. Jesus.

I was wondering if there is a way to use my mytouch slide as a Bluetooth keyboard for my gs2?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] deofavente:
I think it's possible (May Require ROOT)

It might be possible if you use VNC.

Steps:

1. Install VNC server on your primary phone.

2. Install VNC Server on your slider phone.

3. Connect both phones to the same WiFi network (Router).

4. Connect to your Primary phone from your Slider using VNC.

5. Use primary screen for touch interface, Slider phone for Keyboard.

This should work (in theory).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hello all,

I have a couple of questions about Go Locker for those that use it or use Go Launcher EX.

I actually hated it at first for a number of reasons but recently gave it another try. I know I have modified my phone the way I like it and have 2 locker themes I really would love to use.

However, what seriously frustrates me is the lag and inconstant performance. First off, when I power cycle the phone or restart it, it will load the default Skyrocket lock screen for a while before it eventually only loads the Go Locker screen I have chosen. Second, it sometimes does not display the lock screen immediately after waking the phone up by pressing that power button.

I love this very much but I seriously hate the lag and poor performance.

Has anyone been able to tweak this or find a workaround?

Thank you much,
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] orlandoxpolice:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:

milocker has many themes. some work faster than others.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
I completely agree with this! Very true. Not only are some slow as mentioned below even with milocker, but some do have an impact on battery life. I personally won't use any that has some kind of animation.

I just found one high tech theme that looks amazing and works great, as long as I disable the clock. Don't really need the clock on lock screen. Works great!!

Thank you all
