Partitioning SDcard

Thanks for the tips on roms? Any kernel recommendations? I wanted to overclock the device but didn't want to lose any features. Also, if someone could point me in the direction as to partitioning the sdcard that would be great. Can it be done in recovery or should it be done on a pc? What type of filesystems are recommended and what should I set sizes at? Thanks in advance for everyone's help with this. I pretty much know some ways to do this, I just need to know what is recommended for the 3d. :)

I'm running stock GBE22, and I do have quite a few saved voicemails, which are stored in the .amr format. The problem showed up after I had tried a custom rom & then went back. I was able to get everyrhing restored without a problem, but my problem is that every audio player, from the voice recorder to the Google Music player, add ALL of my .amr voicemail files to the playlist, because they just do a random search over the entire sd card for playable files. How do I get these programs to filter out/ignore the voicemail files? Or is there even a solution to this unique problem?

Thanks

if you can find the folder they are being cached in you can add a .nomedia file to it. That should prevent the scanner from adding these files. Didnt know vmails were cached on the sdcard though

Ok, since I'm having such a good day I will help you out. Usually I would just tell you to search some more.

Step One .- Flash Stock KERNEL with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/kernel-stock.zip

Step Two .- Flash Unrooted Rom with CWM. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-UnRoot_ROM_Zedomax.zip

And Last..

Step Three .- Odin Stock Recovery. Which is here http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2510030/SGH-T989-Stock-Recovery.tar

You should be fully STOCK now. Follow the steps and don't skip any.

Good luck..... :D:cool:

Flash this rom thru cwn, it restores back to stock unrooted, and installs the stock recovery.

I just flashed this since i am getting a warranty exchange and everything is back to stock unrooted. Except for the kernel, make sure you flash the stock kernal first
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
From what i've heard, none of these solutions will get you back T989UVKL1 true stock. Both of the above posts will put the phone back to and 'older' unrooted version of stock T989UVKID.

I guess if needing to return the phone back to T-Mobile, only assuming that's what you want, it should work, however if you purchased the phone (like me) with the upgraded firmware pre installed, and you wanted to "wipe the slate clean" and start fresh with prue pre installed updated stock - the above 2 posts won't do it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ingenious247:
Yes but if you go back to T989UVKID shouldn't it give you the OTA update?

What if I did a backup of my stock unrooted ROM, can I just restore that, then Odin stock recovery?

You should be fine, but if you tested other kernels you'll have to flash stock kernel first. Then your nandroid.

[Desire General] Th1rteenth:
So the time has come when I am passing my trusty Desire over to the mother as I have moved on the the XE (highly recommend it BTW) and I thought that it would be best to unroot the phone as she is the most technophobic person ever (but has a bad habit of pressing on things she doesn't know what they do)

I was on Runnymeed AIO Rom which was excellent for me. Downloaded the RUU for my network, ran it and then started getting all sorts of errors (150 is the one that stuck out) decided that as it was failing on the fastboot part I would stick the phone into fastboot and retest, result it got by that point.

Then it wiped radio and allsorts of other things but froze and spat out a 110 RUU error :( couldn't get by it for the life of me, ran it several times with no joy :( same error.

Tried another RUU, same issue.

So at this point I had the 4 exclamation marks on the phone and it wouldn't go past it, wouldn't go into bootloader or fast boot, it was by all accounts bricked and upon an extensive search of the web it looked like it was either a chargeable repair or it was going to the phone heaven in the sky.

Then I had a brainwave I had flashed a different HBoot (CM7 I think) so I thought hey I will use Android flasher and flash stock HBoot (from Alpharrev) and retest.

Started it, couldn't watch it fail again so went out for a smoke, came back in and voila had a perfectly fine unrooted Desire. Phew :D

If this post stops one person from freaking out the way I did then its worth the rsi that I am getting from battering it out on my new sensation XE :)
[Desire General] danarama:
This happens all the time. It's in the troubleshooting guide sticky thread

By the way, should flash the downgrade.img hboot, allowing ruu to overwrite hboot. Flashing Alpharev stock hboot leaves the device s-off
[HTC Sensation] PensFan66:
So, Ive used many custom roms and decided to try to go to Virtuoisty ICS - So, first step - flash the new PG58IMG, which I got from the Dev Links and I had my information and downloaded the right one. Now Its flashed but every reboot starts the HTC white logo and then it reboots after about 10 seconds. I cant get into a regular recovery since the file is on the phone and the only thing it will let me do is flash the file again ....

Any ideas?

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] norazi:
how do you know it flashed correctly? after you flash it, make sure to delete the IMG file

The issue was I had my old ROM on there - So I flashed it - but it couldnt boot into Andriod and it kept rebooting, so I couldnt delete the flash file.

I'm coming from Sprint with unlimited data (1X and 3G on a good day) and switched to Verizon last week with the 5gb plan to find out 3 days in to my contract I've used 2.5gb (do the math). Btw I used 2.5 gigs in 3 days downloading all my old apps, playing with 4G (first time ever using 4G in 2 years.. coming from the OG EVO 4G, Evo 3D, NS4G and the SGS2ET4G and NEVER seeing any 4G), a little internet radio etc.

I saw on AC forums they were talking about the mhs loop hole for $29 a month. Anyone have any insight to this because now I'm stuck to wifi at work and home and love the 4G speeds.

Thanks,

Chef

PS. You guys will be seeing a lot of me now. Hope the mods have a better sense of humor over here. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drewmungus:
Hey I remember seeing you in the 3D forums!

I thought they shut down the MHS loophole a while ago, I might be wrong though.

I had to learn some hard lessons my first couple of days. After redownloading a couple of games I was at 748mb. I used to laugh at all those warnings that the additional game data should be downloaded via wifi. They are not so funny anymore. Don't forget the data usage in the settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
It doesn't work anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
Verizon is bringing back the double data plan in a few days. Once its back call customer care and you will get 10GB for the same price.

Its not unlimited but its better than most.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus - Verizon 4G LTE.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chefdave12118:
Lol. You're not kidding they're not funny anymore. I too used to laugh at the warnings when I was on sprint (if the bastids only had 4g or even 3g in my area) now its like oh ****!

Kind of a catch 22 I've gotten myself into.

With Verizon I get unbelievable 4G speeds but have to use wifi because I've found 5g ain't ****. When you've always had unlimited you dont keep track.

On Sprint I get 400-500 kbps on a good day with unlimited data but used wifi because I was sick of crawling.

Might be worth getting the 10g package but I honestly don't think that's enough. Smh.

Thanks for the tips guys.

PS. I was a very active member in the 3D forums :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Samzebian:
Yup, I remember ya from the 3v0 forums. :D

You'll love Verizon 4G, so easy to eat data tho. If you don't stream a lot of music, don't tether a lot and use Wi-Fi, you can manage under 4GB, but it's still limiting and it sucks.

I got unlimited with MHS 2 months ago and used 18GBs my first month (Road trip to Miami, used 4g/3g tethering a whole lot) and used 15GB last month. I stream all my music via google music (over 18000 songs!)

I was going to get the 10gb package. If you can still somehow get unlimited (I almost bought out someone's old contract with a phone for free, but then verizon wanted a $125 deposit and I'd probably not keep my number, but then MHS appeared to save the day!)

I was one of the first on the EVO band wagon with Sprint..

After a long time, of promising me 4G and waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to come out for Sprint.. I'm not waiting any longer..

T-Mobile is giving away GSII 's this weekend.. and I'm making the switch..

Looking for some tips and tricks here..

I know the phone is much faster than my EVO..

What are some things I should know about this phone?

T-Mobiles service is lightning fast for a glorified 3G (HSPA)

My EVO is rooted and I'm running Cyanogen Rom..

I would like to Root my GSII and eventually within a few weeks put a ROM on it..

Now.. Is it all basically the same? Rom manager? Reboot into recovery ? RA,Clockwork?

Flash zips?

How is the battery life? I deal with pretty good Battery life with my EVO.. after much time with messing with Kernels and such..

How is the Camera? Pictures looked great from me playing with it...

Duel Core 1.5 CPU ?? Seems awesome.. Galaxy Nexus is only 1.2 or something..

Screen quality as well looks amazing!!

Anything else you guys can tell me about this phone, I would appreciate it ,..

THANKS
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Husam2011:
Yup, its probably the same but you need to use odin and download mode to root.

Battery life is 12 hours for me with medium usage, and with lil usage it can last up to 30~ hours.

Camera is fine. I personally find it better than any phone i had, just dont zoom when taking pictures.

1.5 ghz doesnt mean anything, Uk's GS2 is 1.2 ghz but atleast 20% faster than ours.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] coraldayton:
Hey dude, I was in the same boat as you. I had a HTC Evo running Cyanogen, too. I just got my SG2 last Friday and everything was pretty painless in terms of getting everything done. There were a few things that were confusing and frustrating, but it's really really easy to root and everything.

First thing you're going to want to do is follow this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1332103

The first time you get into Odin and recovery and everything can be frustrating, so you're going to want to keep your battery cover off in the mean time until you can flash the recovery onto there and all that jazz.

Once you've got recovery installed and rooted, you can start flashing ROMs. The ROM I'm using is Juggernaut, which you can find here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1322642. It's got the most features, in my opinion, and runs rock solid. One thing I like about it is that I can reboot into recovery while in the ROM, so I don't have to shut it off, do the key presses to get in there. Makes it way easier when flashing new themes, etc. etc. After putting on a custom ROM, I moved on to flashing a theme, which brings Gingerbread up to look like ICS. I used this theme http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1341526.

In terms of battery life, I'm constantly texting with vibration on, using 3G/4G to listen to music and browse the web. I'm starting at about 8 or 8:30 am and get done with work at about 3 or 4, and by the time I get home I'm sitting at like 35 or 40% charge. This is on the Bullet kernel that comes with the Juggernaut ROM. In terms of the speed of the processor, it's fast. Really fast - better than the one we have in the EVO. The camera is awesome, too. I use a program called HDR Camera+ to do HDR pics, and it's awesome. Cost $3.99 int he market, but the stock camera takes awesome pictures, too. Videos on it are awesome. Here's one I took last night to show a friend the colour changing on my new gaming keyboard using the stock camera program to record: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geiPjeNjfiU
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cashyftw:
Sure I'll answer! Hi, and welcome to the sgs2 T-Mobile section!

1: you should know the phone has a way better screen then the evo, hmm probably lacking devs, since there were probably many for the evo. No issues honestly. GPS calls etc. Perfect. Well close to.

2: yes, rom manager, clockwork, etc same flashable zip

3: battery life is something you don't have to worry about, the evo battery sucked, HTC+battery is a no go.

4: camera is ehh, better than the nexus, but not better than the original sgs2.

5: 1.5 vs 1.2 actually the nexus is faster than our phone, but you can't tell much.

6: I mean from the sgs 2 to the evo is a big jump, honestly you'll enjoy this phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
Yep.. i'm pretty excited..

Few more questions if you guys don't mind..

How does it score on "Quadrant" ?

Finally, since we're all using T-mobile here.. My fathers co-worker just got this phone as well .. and on a speedtest he is averaging anywhere from 4-10 down and 2-4 up

To me, that seems incredible.. Actually, it seems almost TOO FAST.. as if its just going to show those speeds on the initial speed test, then slow down. ??

I use about 4-5 gigs a month, I use Slingplayer,Netflix,HBOGO, sportstracker live, and many other bandwidth dependent programs..

With those speeds all those I just listed would work flawlessly ....

Is it accurate? Are you guys happy with the speeds??

EDIT** Also, I assume I can get rid of the bloatware and other stuff Samsung puts on these phones with a rom?? Right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
EDIT #2.. lol

No ICS roms yet?

Will ICS come out for this phone?? I assume its more than powerful enough.. No leaked versions yet? I mean, the EVO already has one.. Very alpha stage, but still...

if you run exynos 1.2ghz and compare it to our 1.5, they should run around the same speeds

I also just jumped ship from sprint w/ an EVO. Now on T-Mobile w/ Galaxy S II. Loving it so far though i expected a larger development scene for the device, seems like the other GS II models have been getting a bit more love as far as custom rom development goes. Is they're any reason for this? Besides technical development setback's of course.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jm0nki3:
Pretty much the galaxy nexus and ics development slowed down a lot of development...it hasnt stopped development, just slowed it down. There are still a lot of devs working on this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] PJcastaldo:
The camera does zoom, use pinch to zoom in and out.. ;)

I have about 3 hours of screen on time and play games and what not and do about 14 hours

As for the exynos being "faster" this is just not true.. the processor is not faster nor does it compute any more or less. the only thing it has over us is the GPU is much better. However there is no game that is able to tax what we have so it doesn't matter..

As for quadrants I have gotten between 3000 and 4000 depending on the setup at the time. but I would prefer 2500 and a smooth device over a 4000 and jumpy menus..

And t Mo's 4G < or 3G what ever> is great, especially when you compare it to Sprints pathetic speeds. I get between 13 and 20 mbps down and over 2 mbps up.. not to far off of LTE.

Hello! This is my first post and I have never really used this website until now, so forgive me if my question is elsewhere and I hadn't found it.

Important Information:

I am using a Motorola Droid Pro XT610 on Verizon Wireless. My phone is rooted and on Android 2.3.3.​

Here's my question:

Where can I find the Vending.apk file on my phone? I've searched for it within ASTRO but nothing shows up. My reasoning for this is that I want the same version of the Market that is on my phone on my Coby MID1125 tablet. I already have the Market on the tablet, but I believe it's an older version and I'm not sure how to check what version it really is. Does anyone know where in my phone's files I can find the Vending.apk file?​
[Droid Pro General] dfube:
Not sure how I ended up here but if you still don't know your answer you can find the Market's version number by going into the settings and scrolling all the way down to "Build Version".

Also the Vending.apk should be stored in /system/app/
