[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robert_io:
Hi guys, i have a big problem, i believe that the GS2 is dead in part. I had before a rom rootata with CheckRom V4, then a few days ago i installed a rom with ICE 4.0.3 moddata, and i started to have problems with the usb connection is in memory of mass that as telephone, the two computers that i have a XP and a seven do not recognize him, Then today i tried to make the various wipe and put a kernel with mobile odin pro, saw that i couldn't connect with the usb, but it seems i have done a specimens hauling. Now the phone is booted, leaves the written Galaxy, but then turns off.

I have seen that at least it should be in download mode, but the fact of not being able to connect via usb for would a new kernel , i blocks. Help me please

I also noted that took me the CWM i can't get into recovery mode like android are being developed and sees me: reboot system now apply update from external storage wipe date/factory reset wipe cache partition apply update from cache test redbend fota

Ciao ragazzi,

ho un grosso problema, credo che il GS2 sia morto in parte.

Avevo prima una rom rootata con la CheckRom V4, poi da qualche giorno ho installato una rom con ICE 4.0.3 moddata, ed ho iniziato ad avere problemi con la connessione usb sia in memoria di massa che come telefono, i due computer che ho un XP ed un seven non lo riconoscono, allora oggi ho provato a fare i vari wipe e a mettere un kernel con mobile odin pro, visto che non riuscivo a connettermi con la usb, ma a quanto pare ho fatto una grossissima cazzata.

Ora il telefono sia avvia, esce la scritta Galaxy, ma poi si spegne. Ho visto che almeno va in download mode, però il fatto di non poterlo collegare via usb per flashare un nuovo kernel , mi blocca. Aiutatemi vi prego

Ho notato anche che mi ha tolto la CWM riesco ad entrare in recovery mode android e mi vede:

reboot system now

apply update from external storage

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

apply update from cache

SII, for the hardware and the size.

And ofcourse the amount of ROM´s :D
[General Questions and Answers] KBJ3:
Thanks, yep thata what I have been hearing. I wasnt sure if there was anything else that was giving the S II competition though. Looks like I'm picking that up. Also the GALAXY Note. I like it because its kind of like a tablet, but fits in your pocket. I wont get that for a few months later though. Anyways I will hit your "thanks" button when I can figure out how to do it from my phone.

I have the galaxy s2 and I love it. However, the DROID RAZR maxx seems like a really good phone and it is supposed to have great battery life. But the galaxy s2 is always a good choice.
[General Questions and Answers] f12317y:
Galaxy s2. Awesome performance + lightweight. My brother using it now. Outstanding !! ;)
[General Questions and Answers] KBJ3:
Well class I must say I have just come upon the GALAXY Nexus. :eek: yes, let me say that again... :eek:

:cool:

**Edit** actually I have to say after reading over some of the specs and features of the GN, I still have to go with the GSII. I was debating between that and the Epic Touch 4G, Nexus... but the SGSII really has everything I want. I love that it is 4.27" and not so gody at 4.53" or 4.7" like some of these other ones. 4.3" is perfect, and I will also get the Galaxy Note at 5.3" to use for a big one.

Also it looks like the SGSII actually has better specs than these other ones as a whole. If I find out it can run on Ice Cream Sandwhich, then theres not contest.

Due to massive upload of sense 3.5 ROMS, this thread can be deleted.

Too much of the same, I find personally :(

The WFSDEV team should work together to make one or two good sense 3.5 ROMS.

But no, what do we see, 5 or more ROMS which are almost the same.

And then they're all claiming its their own work, and asking for thanks / donations.

Users get confused, don't know what to try, ...

I claim that HenseMod is fully themed by me only, I've chosen the icons, wallpapers, fonts, ..., and I'm proud of it :D

The WFSDEV team isn't a team either, I asked to other team members to help me with a cwm zip and no news of it. Hate that. :mad:

So I think I will leave the WFSDEV team, nah :rolleyes:

Marvelous ROM vers.2 is my favorite. I think is very smooth and with a few mods is great.
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
Here's my 2 cents:

(First of all, I have flashed and re-flashed EVERY custom ROM that I could get my hands on - from this site or otherwise - onto my WFS... here's my quick overview.)

- I currently run m1ndh4x8r's Cracker. It's smooth (like Hense), stable, and as close to stock as you can get (without actually running the rooted stock.)

- The rooted stocks are, by far, the most stable (but everyone wants an overclocked kernel, so stocks are out).

- The NonSense ROM was quite nice, but only at GB 2.3.3.

- Matteo ROM is fast, but not much else. Not a lot of internal space left, the gallery function is broken (when accessing thru the camera app) and the default font is absolutely useless - be prepared to change it) There is no built-in advanced power button menu. Bootup animation is annoying. Also, Matteo breaks the proximity sensor on your phone.

- Marvelous ROM: Fantastic (but not overclock'ed) :(

- CM7 is, I find, very unstable. Not to mention the ugliest ROM I've ever seen. Sure, you can theme it... but the system stuff still looks pretty gross. CM7 is notorious for it's POOR handling of graphics (but it makes up for it in speed and TONS of free internal space leftover). That being said, I could never get a decent Antutu score running CM7. Overclocked at 806 + "Performance" gov., I still can't break 1690 (about 1750 if I use "Smartass + bfq").

CM7 has a crappy camera, crappy dialer, and crappy contacts feature.

Not a fan of the launcher, either.

Also, CM7 breaks the SMS notification feature (over the SMS icon).

Did I mention it looks horrible? ;) I'd rather sacrifice a couple meg's of RAM+space in order to get a phone that looks/feels decent and is a pleasure to use. But that's just me, what do I know.

- Hense was my favourite, until I discovered the Setting widgets is broken... and other odd quirks like the HTC Skin feature is not linked (Link2SD) properly... leading me to believe it's not quite as true to stock as can be (like the m1ndhax0r roms, for example). Hense was quite smooth and peppy. The only changes I made to that was ripping out the new SMS and putting in the old one (no one likes those god damn bubbles) and I think replacing the Market back to old version too). Nice bootup/shutdown animations.

- I even played with the MIUI "port" (well.. not really a port, but...)

This ROM has potential in that it's fast and has even MORE internal space and RAM leftover than CM7... but it's still based on CM7.

Once you taste the Sense UI, it's hard to stay away from it (for very long). But, your mileage may vary.

To summarize, I find the m1ndh4x8r ROMs the best overall (but they are not perfect... their small internal space is problematic, but can be resolved with the usual tweaks n' tricks). Like I say, I'm currently on Cracker (but always on the lookout for newer/better ROMs) and I haven't had any problems with it so far:

Favorite ROM

Currently using Hensemod because it's fast and i can play RR2 smoothly ;). The only problem I encountered was with link2sd. After installing 130 apps, system keeps telling me memory is low after reboot. So I switched to data2sd and everything seems flawless except for a slight decrease in antutu score, which is just fine for me as long as i can still play RR2 smoothly :D

I also saved a nandroid backup of m1ndh4x8r rom. It was my personal favorite before I installed Hensemod. It's really fast, i even got a higher 3D antutu score with it compared to Hensemod.

Totally agree with Tigger. CM7 is nice in terms of memory. However when it comes to graphics specially 3D, it's very poor. Sluggish when playing HD games such as RR2. Pictures taken with it's camera are so ugly i can't live with it. Installing third party camera apps did not solve the problem either. I guess it's CM7 itself.

I also tried every single rom posted here, benchmarked, installed 3d games and experimented with the mods available to enhance it. But i believe Hensemod and

m1ndh4x8r are the best.

## Custom ROMs: A side-by-side comparison ##

Relevant to this thread, I just posted an XLS chart that compares (what I think are) some general/important features of all the custom Wildfire S ROMs that I could find.

It's my own personal work... so, it's sloppy, :) but probably still

useful

for anyone trying to figure out what ROM to run but doesn't wanna dive into the flash just yet. Or perhaps folks just wanna see how one ROM compares to another?

[HTC Amaze 4G] jul644:
This is best done after you flash a ROM as you might lose some settings.

(I noticed my wall paper changed and i had to sign back into Google account)

---This framework-res.apk file is different for every ROM---

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues">
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>-1</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
</integer-array>

These are values should reduce the problem significantly

<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessButtonBacklightValues">
<item>190</item>
<item>190</item>
<item>190</item>
<item>190</item>
<item>-1</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
<item>0</item>
</integer-array>

To send it back to your phone

You have to copy the file to your phone with ADB or you will get a boot loop and have to re install your ROM.

Link for APK Manager HERE

If you have problems with apk manager showing java error (like it did) this post helped me fix that :)

I just have this script run on boot

#!/system/bin/sh

echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

chmod 444 /sys/class/leds/button-backlight/brightness

In my case it disables them completely but you can replace the 0 with a value that suits you best and that will be your maximum brightness and it's much less invasive of a change to your device
[HTC Amaze 4G] jul644:
thats very nice could i put that in the first thread? (do you just type that into cmd after a su command?
[HTC Amaze 4G] XmentalX:
you would run it as an init.d script if your rom supports it, or there is scripter on the market which you can just create a new script and copy and paste it into it.

that or if your going to copy and paste it into a command prompt just remove the #!/system/bin/sh line.

keep in mind why I run this on boot is because it doesnt survive a reboot so it must be reapplied as such unless the rom you run has the number premodified before flashing (i assume, just a guess not a developer by any means)

I learned this trick way back with my EVO 4g and subsequent 3D I now ditched sprint and am on Tmo. I take no credit for it so share and share alike :-)

[HTC Amaze 4G] silvscorp:
can I replace the value "0" with same value according to the 1st page? 255 being the max?

I tried to change it to 190 based on OP but it disables completely. Then changed to 255 and now the light is on all the time, even when turning off.

Also, if using G script, i won't need the line "#!/system/bin/sh" correct?

Correct..with the g-script ..be sure the chmod.... Starts on another line.

[HTC Amaze 4G] silvscorp:
I just tried use 190 but the light is off completely. If I run the script again using other value, g-script will say permission denied.

anyone used g script to change the sensitivity value to other than 0? I've tried many values but all of them just turns it off completely. If change to 255, it will stay on the whole time, even with screen off.

I used RootDim as well and it definitely does the job in shutting off the lights. However, I'm still interested in modifying the values in framework-res.apk when I get more time. I would probably still prefer the buttons to be dimmer instead of completely off. I know where they're located in pitch darkness, but that won't save me from extra tapping if I tap low below or in between the buttons.
