[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wad92:
I have a few questions regarding this and it is probably all common android knowledge but I am new to this so here we go,

First of all by turning it off would it allow me to remove default applications? (I am having trouble both with terminal and a root explorer to remove default apps, and am assuming it is because of S-On)

Secondly is there a method to achieve S-Off that isn't a bootable file? Both methods I have found require me to do this but the BIOS of the Laptop I am using now doesn't support usb booting and doesn't have a cd writer, I am stuck with this garbage untill I can replace my motherboard on my linux/win7 machine.

Lastly if there isn't a method to achieve S-Off without a bootable file, should I just use a VM? Are there any known issues with doing this?

Phone details:

Bravo PVT3 SHIP S-ON

HBOOT-0.93.0001
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coempi:
Go to revolutionary.io and read everything carefully. After that it's easy. After gaining S-off, flash custom recovery, then the zip (middle of FAQ page) to get root. Afterwards you can use either Titanium Backup or MyBackup to remove or freeze unnecessary apps. Good luck.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kotag82:
Root is enough...

Did you try unrevoked method?

running under windows

S-OFF means to flash switch nand protection off for flashing radio, recovery, hboot (partition layout) etc

revolutionary.io

no bootable cd/usb needed

i did not use vm i can not confirm it is working properly, maybe somebody has
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wad92:
My device is already rooted with unrevoked but not fully which is why im trying to figure out how to do this, thank you for the link I will research further
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes, fully. Root and s-off are different. It's easiest to be s-off and with root explorer to remove /system/apps but there are other ways, not as easy.

Or...

You could just freeze the apps with titanium backup. It hides them and stops them running.

You know deleting system/apps won't give you more space in itself though yeah?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michallp:
Now you should try download and install (through recovery or android market) superuser app, it's give you access to procected files in your phone.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
He is already rooted. This thread is about s-off, as per the title. Please read threads before posting your advice.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alwayslookingforanswers:
Have a simple question for someone out there... I have the rooting thing down. But now I'm trying to flash a rom onto my Samsung Infuse 4g ATT.. Anyhow when it says System/Recovery now I go to the system folder first then I go into the recovery folder correct? Just wanting to make sure I am doing the correct procedure for flashing this.. I have already bricked three phones this month... LOL thank you Best Buy for such a wonderful phone protection plan.. LOL, and in advance thanks for yalls help!!!! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gominolo2002:
Hi Guys

I have my TouchWiz but I like change my launcher... I read too much things about launchers but I open this thread for the last opinion... ¿What launcher use in my Galaxy Note? I try the free versions but I no see the differences into LP, GO_L or ADW. I need:

- Custom Launcher.

- No drain battery and memory

- Faster

- Complete

- Stable...

Best Regards,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexanderbooth:
I use go ex now, used to use adw ex, both pretty similar I just like that in go the screen transition are nicer and the fact that if a theme doesn't have a icon changed for a particular app, it puts the normal icon in a wrap around that fits with the themes icons, so the whole phone seems like its on the same theme :-D

heres a video of my homescreen with Go launcher ex

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordManhattan:
ADW EX.

I've used Go Launcher, LauncherPro, and Zeam Launcher on the Note, but i'm using ADW EX because it's 100% smooth on 240 DPI, it's highly customizable, very stable (never crashed) and so on. A close second would be Go Launcher, but i don't like it that much. GL seems less responsive and it takes several taps before it reacts. Same on my Desire HD.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brooon:
GO, GO, GO!

On my side, GO Launcher is by far the smoothest experience I had on the Note. I´ve tried several of them (including ADW, Launcher Pro, MIUI Launcher and last but not least VTL.Launcher, from which I came from and which I used all the way in the past).

I have tons of widgets & Icons on my Homescreen, which I use a lot (mainly messenger & S-Pen Stuff), so it´s kind of a hard experience my note has to go through :)

GO Launcher is the only one, which really gives me still a smooth experience...all the others got laggy with time.

Another vote for the ADW Ex.

Using it with my screen set to 240DPI, and I'm really amazed how fast my Gnote with this setting. I'm still awed how fast this combination is, that I sometimes spend a good minute or two just swiping my screen away just to see if eve slows down. It didn't.

I've used go and adw for years but my new addiction is ss launcher. Truly unique and for me has no lag and tons of options. Only two themes available but no matter because it can be so customized. Its worth a try imo

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easycure1974:
Also give a vote for ssLauncher, just love it
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
ssLauncher

I go for ssLauncher too.

I think the others may be fine at 240 dpi, but that is too small for me, so I am kinda forced to stick with 320. I wish it were otherwise.

OT, but I use another app launcher in all cases, either tsLauncher or Wave Launcher, and group my apps with Folder Organizer. In this way I am not dependent on the launcher for my app organisation, and I can swap launchers around at will without having to organise my apps in each one.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
I've just realised that my phone keeps forgetting the 'linked' contacts. I've linked them 2-3 times by now. I went on my Windows Live contacts to see if I had any issues there. To my surprise my total 768 contacts have reproduced themselves and now I have 2019 contacts!!

Most of them are duplicates of these 768 contacts more than 1 time. I tried 'clean contacts' and 'combine contacts' - freaking tidious job.

Then I found this - http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...contacts/ae24ebad-338b-46de-a577-d49c8053c6de

Is this the bug we don't talk about much? Or a bug that's already solved somewhere but I don't know about? The comments on that thread suggest few people have this even post-Mango.

Anyone suffering same? I have WLM, Facebook, Twitter, Outlook and LinkedIn contacts being synced. Then I've linked them. But it's not that the phone forgets the 'linked' contacts. They are there, but then I have added/duplicated contacts which I keep re-linking. Uptil now I thought my phone kept forgetting the link, but I just found a contact with 11-linked contacts and all are same contacts! (11 duplication of same contact?!)

[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
Being a forum mod, it will be doubly bad if i have missed this somewhere, but i swear i searched, and found nothing much..

SO, I just joined the rezound family, up from my incredible.. my warrenty was void within hours.. :D

One of the big things about my Inc was the ability to tether with WPA2 encryption.. handy in the work environment where they don't want too many open hotspots.

Now, i have already thrown a ICS rom on my Zound, since my current tab (Touchpad with CM9) does not support ad-hoc (from what i have found). But, i have always longed for BT tethering, since it is the least obvious (again, managed work enviroment).

For all the talk of wifi, has any real progress been made using BT? Given that ICS is still a but unstable, i wouldn't mind going back to GB, but would need other tethering instead of ad-hoc.

Any advice (aka.. your free chance to slap around a mod for not finding something obvious... ;) )
[HTC Rezound] fabier:
I have searched far and wide for this with little success. I think the answer is to wait for cm9 to come to the rezound. But that is probably months away.. :/.
[HTC Rezound] Divine_Madcat:
After more searching, i still come up short. We really cannot be the only two hat needs bt tether...
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Doesn't open garden support BT tether?
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
I've looked as well and haven't found anything. I know PDA net has that option, but I've never gotten it to work properly.
[HTC Rezound] pkopalek:
I use PDANet to Bluetooth tether my Mac. I'm on a mostly stock ROM. Works great but slowly (since my Mac is a 2004 model).

But I know it works on GB.

On ics, you should be able to select routing fix (and mms clamping?) And choose cdma GNex in google WiFi Tether app and use infrastructure.

I did it on Ineff ICS.
[HTC Rezound] fabier:
+1 to this problem. My phone's battery would make love to whoever figures this out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cablemeblind:
I have a new T989 I bought without a contract. I have a Simple Mobile sim card. I have rooted and installed Juggernaut Rom. Before I rooted and now no changes in the fact when I install any sim I get no message of invalid or a place to enter unlock code.I know SM is suppose to work without unlock. But I havent been able to get SM to work at all. Do i need to flash another rom, because it seems that Im locked into Tmobile so far. Any help much appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
Which .apn are you using? are calls working with the exception of data and mms?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cablemeblind:
I have not changed the .APN. Nothing is working , there is a circle with a line through it in top status bar. Just get " mobile network not available" Im lost at how others have used Simple Mobile sims with nothing extra but to configure the mms/internet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] pb3000:
simple mobile is tmobile, you can use a tmo phone without unlocking with a simple mobile sim, i still have my simple mobile sim from when i used it on my vibrant, and i was able to make a call from my sgs2 without unlocking, so i might be wrong but you should try with an at&t sim, the apn settings for simple are on their site also.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheRealWireball:
Weird, I'm experiencing the same issue.

I believe the Simple Mobile SIM card is fine, because it works in /other/ (non-smart) phones such as my T-Mobile branded Motorola V195 and Nokia 6030 - I can place and receive calls and text messages.

But the Samsung Galaxy S II T989 is always stuck on "Searching" on the lock screen, and Settings: Wireless and network: Mobile networks: Network operators: Search now: only turns up "T-Mobile" and "AT&T" under Available Networks, both of which say "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network" when I tap on them.

Oh yes, and I did program the Access Point Names (APNs) as per Simple Mobile's instructions, twice.

Both with the stock ROM, and with Juggernaut-v4.1 (as it so happens). Baseband version T989UVKL1.

I'll try and find someone with a working T-Mobile SIM card, test that in the phone tomorrow, and report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
Sim is prolly bad I had same issue when I first put my sim in try another simple sim, maybe sticking it in non smart phones Burns something cus that's exactly how it went down for me:/ when i was using an older phone as a temp, then bought the sg2 and didn't work try using ur sim on another smart phone if it doesn't read it it's toast like mine was
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheRealWireball:
I tested a coworker's T-Mobile SIM card in the phone and had exactly the same problems (no network/unable to find network - just AT&T and T-Mobile), whereas my coworker was able to use my SIMPLE Mobile SIM card in their phone successfully.

I flashed my baseband from to T989UVKID *, and the behavior is the same - still saying that it's not registered, and still only shows AT&T and T-Mobile when I search for networks. Co-worker's SIM card still doesn't allow me to connect to T-Mobile, either.

I'm starting to think the IMEI for this phone might have been reported stolen, and maybe it's being blocked externally (I did buy it from a pawn shop eBay seller - albeit one with good feedback). Hopefully T-Mobile can tell me if I call them up.

*-Well, I loaded the zipfile from topic "1426001 - [RADIOS] CWM Flashable Modems" onto my sdcard and applied update from zip, and Settings: About phone says "Baseband version T989UVKID" now.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funziebear:
probably blacklisted , sounds like this phone is blacklisted a lot people buying and selling before its even payed off , or getting a replacement and then selling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nexicon:
Ya sounds like that. You know what my brother had a vibrant brand new from someone on cragslist and then several months later his gave same problem. He was on Simple Mobile. He called t Mobile and believe it or not said they don't black list phones and say it is not possible for them to do so. It was different reps too that said the same thing. I don't know. Maybe true?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheRealWireball:
IMEI blacklisted

I just borrowed the SIM card from a coworker's AT&T phone. I had to unlock my Galaxy, but I'd purchased an unlock code a few days ago before I realized that the problem wasn't a SIM lock.

Sure enough, the phone works fine on AT&T's network. 2187 kbps down, 436 kbps up, 105ms ping (in my area).

It's definitely the carrier blocking my phone. Now to see if I can return it. Hey, it will work on the AT&T network now, or maybe the seller can catch the person that sold them the phone. :)

P.S. Judging by the threads on support.t-mobile.com, Support L1 doesn't have access to or know about the IMEI blocks, but L2 does. Case in point:

support.t-mobile.com/thread/15348

Incidentally, I don't feel that it's T-Mobile's fault that I got a blacklisted phone, although I would like it if they *published* their IMEI blacklists. In Australia, you can punch in an IMEI code and see if it's blacklisted.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ojar:
Hello there xda bros and gals,

First I want to say thanks and congratulate all you guys for making the HTC HD2 the most “developed” phone on earth, period. ONE phone that can go across FIVE different operating platforms!? That’s crazy! And do you know how many customized ROMs are there just for Android NAND? ….....Over 140 and still counting!

This goes to show how much we love to tweak and mod our devices. Why should we restrict ourselves with a stock interface, or a stock ROM, or just one operating system? (amiright, Iphone fan boys? ;))

Having more options and choices is great, but it could get tricky when you want to choose the “best” rom out there. And we all have our unique preferences, from Sense to MIUI to CyanMods, to Gingerbread or Icecream Sandwich, to how much free memory we need, to how smooth/fast or how stable, to softkeys or no softkeys...etc. You get the picture.

I basically made a more organized collage of our favourite roms for the HD2 (nand android for now). Having them more organized makes it easier for us to choose which one we like.

If the devs are the cooks, I am bringing you the menu.

**This is a initial release, the descriptions are not all accurate and serve only as a reference, go to the specific rom thread for detail features/setup.

LINK ----------->>>>>>[Google Docs Spreadsheet] XDA-DEVELOPERS HTC HD2 ANDROID NAND ROMS<<<<<------------

Check out my brand new website! I made it easy to browse and find our favorite htc hd2 roms with pretty screenshots!

LINK ----------->>>>>>[HTML WEB] LIST OF XDA-DEVELOPERS HTC HD2 ANDROID NAND ROMS<<<<<------------

Let me explain the format a bit:

All the features all sorted in a arbitrary priority list for a easy viewing.

If a feature gets a " - ", it means the feature is unavailable or the developer didn't mention it.

Working features get a "1", a buggy feature gets a "1.5" and a non-functional feature gets a "2".

Discontinued roms get a "2" for the "State", and "1.5" if there are no updates for 2 months.

Roms with no issues get a "1" for "stable",

Roms with small issues get a "1.5" for "daily-use",

Roms with major features not working get a "2" for "in-dev".

I have been lurking and "testing/using" a lot of these nand roms for a long time now. I have sorted some of them according to my own experience, but for most of them, I just went along with whatever the dev mentioned on the main rom thread. ( and sometimes I get lazy )

This is a community project, so any help in making the list more accurate is strongly appreciated. If you are interested in editing the list, just tell the details in this thread, or simply pm me your email, I will give you the privilege to work with the spreadsheet right in your own Google docs.

and oh yeah... tell me if you want to add a feature that you think should be mentioned. ( maybe quadrant scores to indicate "smoothness"??)

We appreciate your hard work :D

But if I were in your shoes, I'd have organized rom according to their genres :p.

I mean, Sense 3.5 Gingerbread, Sense 3.0 GB, ICS AOSP, ICS CM9 and so on.

One more thing, people hate download-required things ;). Trust me, they do. So it'd be much more easier if it were online (read only and can't be downloaded(Ofc you can make them editable )).

Again, those are just opinions. It is up to you whether you take them into consideration or not ;)

But I was in a little dilemma myself... html view for Google docs doesn't freeze the columns or rows... so it kindda a mess to look at.
