[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:
I'm trying to put a better ROM on my wife's GT-I9100M I really just want something which much better battery life and speed for her... mostly battery life though.

With so many different kernels out there, I'm a little wary of installing something now, in case it'll brick the phone. Does it matter what kernel these roms are based on?

Her baseband is I9100MUGKG2

and her kernel is 2.6.35.7-I9100ZSKG2-CL361136 root@ubuntu #6

and build number is

GINGERBREAD.UGKG2

I'm sorry if I'm posting a redundant thread, but I've spent a few hours on here, and Have still no idea what get.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamski123:
so i imagine ur wifes phone is stock right?

then ur going to need to root the phone first :L

Then i wuld recommend speedmod kernel or siyahs kernel for the best battery life.

Im running Checksrom with speedmod kernel, and usually get a decent 2 days out of it :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:
It's rooted, so that's done... I don't have to worry about bootloader or anything?

I'll grab what you have and see how she likes it, since it sounds like it's working for you.

Thanks!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:
PS. I got the Speedmod kernel, but where do you get Checksrom?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dygy:
Same here: CheckROM v4 and latest version of Speedmod kernel and the battery life is around 2 days. Smooth, no FC's, no issues!

edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312240
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamski123:
No no worries about the bootloader

just install Checks rom, and it comes with a kitchenapp and u can change the kernel to speedmod from within that.

BUT

make sure that the i9100M is compatible with the rom!

PS

if ive helped dont hesitate in saying thanks ;)

Edit: my bad, just googled I9100M and found out its indenticle to the 19100 except in the name xD

so u shuld be all gd to flash, but make sure u backup before just in case.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:

Yeh, give it a go, and tell us how u get on :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:
Ok this is weird... I installed it using CWM and rebooted... it looks exactly the same as before except under about phone it says Build # is CheckRom RevoHD v4... And where do I find this kitchenapp? I don't see it in the app tray. Gonna do a reinstall of the ROM, I'm not sure if it really... took.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamski123:
yeh, its a stock samsung rom mate

and the kitchen should be in the app drawer under the name kitchenpro
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:
Well. So far so good. She hasn't really noticed anything different. In spite of my backing things up with titanium she's still swearing at it and setting some of her stuff back up.

We'll see how it goes now for battery life. That'll be what she wants most. The regular stock had the phone dying within less than 10 hrs or standby.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Urbangt:
I had to install the kitchenpro app seperately its in the checkrom thread i think
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamski123:
Oh right huh thats a bit weird :L

Is everything ok now then?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:
Yeah I discovered I had to download the kitchen thing seperately. Ended up using CWM anyways. I guess we'll find out how good the battery thing works out tomorrow when we run it down from a full charge.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
How do you find the right rom ? You try out a bunch of roms until you find one that works well for you. If you think you're going to have the same experience as someone else with a given rom or kernel you're mistaken.

Hey ! I have a soft brick Prob can you help me out.

Heres the Prob: Phone recovered from soft brick through Odin (FIRMWARE=KI3). Flashed ChainFire's kernel for KI3. Added CheckRom v4 and my own rom to the external SD card. Got into recovery, Wiped everything including BatteryStats booted Check ROM. It boots up but as soon as it's up error msgs come (Force Close ones).

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bman2380:
+1 Pretty much nailed it. Won't know how good a rom is until you try it out yourself.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Silvercloak5098:
The problem is, not every rom for samsung GT 9100 seem to be the right ones... What I'm saying is, I can't just grab any ROM from this site and slap it in, it seems like they have to have the right kernel or combination of stuff to work. I don't want to soft brick it, so it would be nice to know exactly what would be safe for my phone.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to these roms. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TPADroid:
Hey fellow XDAer's,

I am constantly missing text messages from friends and every once in a while, I see that I get a voicemail with no missed call on the phone. I am wondering is it is the ROM I am running or just the phone.

Has anyone experienced this before? If so, how did you fix it?

I was thinking about dropping my ROM back down to a stock ROM (rooted) and see if that helps. Does anyone have any good suggestions on a bone stock rooted rom to test?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevovanburen:
Hey,

I have had this issue before and honestly it was neither, it was just the sprint service, I had bars but I was missing text calls etc and I called the sprint store to have them tell me it was just an outage. So most likely that is what is causing it.

Now to counter this I use google voice so either I normally get my calls and text through one or the other or both if data and 1x is working properly!

I wish you the best of luck and hope you figure it out!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ben.nesheim:
which rom are you on?

roms like energy are notorious for not getting sms through. i have had mannnyy people think im ignoring them because texts arent coming through :) i will usually switch to voice intergration and solves it cuz everything is going through voice.

and/or see if there are certain radios that work better for the rom you are on. sometimes that will help too :)

[General Questions and Answers] Android311:
Very easy, hook up your phone to your PC and select USB mode, drop your downloaded zip file in the SD card (the rom) then disconnected from PC, turn off phone and take out battery for 2 secounds, put battery in and hold down volume and power button till a white hboot screen shows, it will load some files, just wait (its normal) use volume down and hit recovery, once in recovery make a backup of your current rom, ALWAYS BACKUP, to do that wipe dalvik cache first then hit backup, after its complete go to mounts and storage and format cache, data and system, once complete go to install zip from sd card, find the zip you want to flash/install on the list (that would be your rom zip file) click install, once done reboot your done "click thanks if it helps"

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandroqm:
Hello guys,

I am trying to update to ICS on my WiFi Xoom MZ604.

Did a full wipe and cache wipe on clockworkmod, but it won't find my sdcard so I can flash it with ICS, instead it will show me the content of /sdcard and won't find anything on any directories, since I wiped it.

What should I do??

Thank you.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
I'm assuming you are using the Tiamat recovery. Idk if it supports external SD or not. However, rogue recovery 1.3 supports both SD cards and adds a few other features. Not to mention it looks a lot cleaner.

I would suggest putting the rogue recovery on your SD card and flashing it.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leandroqm:

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codyrichards:
Plug you Xoom into your computer. Some kernels are sometimes problematic so put you CWM flash file on both the external card and internal flash. These can be distinguished in my computer. Be sure you have the latest drivers or you may have trouble finding your Xoom. http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-...tware_and_Drivers/USB-and-PC-Charging-Drivers

After that you go to install zip from sd and choose accordingly. Might I also recommend rebooting into recovery from the CWM app as I know in my case, I cannot access the recovery menu from the boot screen.

Good question. It's connected via bluetooth to Blackberry bluetooth adapter. I tried 3 different ones before choosing the RIM made one. The Rim bt adapter has no batteries, so I connected permanently, uses 5v mini usb connector. It turns on automatically when power is applied, no button presses required. Other units either turns themselves off to save battery/protect it or they require a button press to turn them on again.

Make a new APN and pick it whenever you don't want LTE.

Or type in dialer *#*#4636#*#* scroll down adn select what you want.

seems to be the best way for custom roms ATM
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dashingdon:
It does not retain the Selected APN. It automatically reverts back to LTE.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zombie.raised:
Hmm it should retain till it looses signal at least that how I saw my device behave.

The other option I can think of is use build.prop editor app and turn off from there. May be I should try to write my app for this .

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SexyAndIKnowIt:
When i'm using ES file explorer and transferring files from or to my TFP i get a throughput of around 500kb ps.

This amount seems a bit low... could anyone check the transfer speed as well and report back the results?

I'm also looking for a way to stream video's. Right now i'm using ES file explorer to browse towards a external file and then play it using DICE player. (Dice player doesn't support a network selection tool, thus i got to use ES file expl).

But it seems that the transfer speed is a bit too slow for good streaming. Most movies which are about 8gb big are unplayable (Buffer isn't that fast)

Any suggestions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] vakbrain:
If you're rooted, did you try cifs-manager (network shared partition)?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SexyAndIKnowIt:
Haven't rooted it yet. (retarded noob question, how safe is it to root now? haven't read the threads about it yet)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sontin:
That is the normal transfer rate for streaming. It depents on the movie's bitrate.

SMB is not very fast. Set up a ftp and transfer over this protocoll. Instesd of 2 mb/s i get more than 3 mb/s. And with DicePlayer you can open a video while transfering. Its much better than srreaming over BSPlayer or a file manager.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] SexyAndIKnowIt:
I tried the FTP suggestion and it did work, although very clumsy compared to SMB. I don't understand why the SMB protocol is that slow, it should be possible to have a transfer rate of +- 5 Megabytes right...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] poofyhairguy:
Because on a Prime (or heck, any Linux device) we aren't talking real SMB. We are talking reverse engineered SMB.

That is not to say it cannot perform. I have two Linux media servers that share via SMB and each can do it fast enough for full Blu Ray ISOs.

The trick is the SMB on my server is tweaked to the moon to get those speeds- tweaks I bet Asus didn't do in the default kernel.

Once we get the bootloader unlocked then maybe the SMB support can be improved. Already it is good enough I can stream most of my 720p content.

I assume it's safe to guess that you do indeed have super user in your app drawer though, yes? But you should not use ROM Manager, as it can cause quite a few problems. It's easier just to understand how to use your own phone and to get comfortable with the recovery menu in CWM.

Hi guys, since i'm new i can't post on the development thread - [ROM] MeDroid ICS 4.0.3 CM9 V6.1 31/01/2012

Basically this has existed ever since version 5. The problem is if i open any app (say facebook, music, or even internet) things start to get really bogged down and stop responding for minutes. (I have to click "wait" like 4 or 5 times until it finally loads, especially facebook. Music stops randomely and becomes really laggy after 5 minutes of playing)

I know this must be a rom issue, because using a gingerbread rom alleviates all of these issues, heck even using a different ICS rom alleviates the issue but i REALLY like the MeDroid version (MIUI is too iPhoney and texasice just didn't tickle my pickle). Anyway, i'm seeing people in the thread saying "this is as fast as gingerbread!" and i'm like no way... the difference between a gingerbread build and this ics build for me is night and day, especially an oxygen build (that thing is lightning fast).

One thing i'm not sure of though, is i used an EXT4 partition for the A2SD. Now i can't remember if i experienced any slowdowns whilst this was here or not, i'm about to remove it and give it a shot, but i can't see how this lags the whole system out when i have about 3 apps installed.

I'm looking for any help regarding this though, thanks for anyone's time

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
you need an sdext4, 1gb preferred and 0 swap

you need to have installed the custom hboot, (System/cache/data = 220/16/200)

per OP page. not just blackrose

verify correct hboot installed by checking your bootloader screen for it to be listed and s-off

you need to have wiped ALL 3x, including System

Go back over OP page and do all requirements--

if you prepared correctly, no reason it shouldn't work,

if not working after that, reformat sdcard with sdformatter
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steveyh22:
I've tried all this. I've even booted without an SDcard and it still acts the same. It's obviously not the SDcard...i've tried that zkernel and i got a very similar benchmark score to the guy that posted it.

I decided to flash the latest stable cyanogenmod and it's working flawlessly and is very fast in comparison... i'm tempted just to leave it for now, since even the browser hangs around for 20 seconds, and pages scroll awfully without the HW acceleration,

I must just be expecting too much from alpha roms, but something's obviously not right if others can use it "perfectly"
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
well, if you want to try again, you could still redo sd card with sdformatter and try amon_ra if not using it now
