Most anybody here can answer this. When the kernel for it is finished. Most of our rom problems are because of kernels. Raver has said so many times he is pretty much done with everything except a kernel. That is what is holding up progress.

I wonder if anybody else has been experiencing Google Play Store - while installing or updating apps - downloading the app then going back to "Downloading" and sitting there - not installing the apps. Then having to force close Google Play Store - open again - then it will finish installing the app.

It does this to me every time I want to download or need to update an app.

I looked for fixes and nothing worked.

What I finally did was clear both caches in Google Play Store - then uninstalled updates. Then froze the Market Update APK. Opened Market again - then for some reason had to force close it again - and it fixed it. However now I am staying on the older Market version - which is fine with me because it works.

In case anybody else is dealing with that and is tired of it - that fixed it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] P06o:
I have also encountered that problem, lumin. Thanks for posting your fix.

Now a question: How long after flashing a rom, should one wait to apply tweaks? I know it takes time for everything to, sort of, "soak in"...so should I give the rom a day or two before flashing AS, LZ or what have you?

rooting this phone STUPID BLOATWARE

ok iv tried super one click but i cant get it to run as administrator and root this damn thing is there an apk like z4 root for gb 2.3.6 that i can dl and root this thing without a computer ? thanx guys after all this is the stupid question thread lmao:D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
@lumin30, I haven't had any issues with both my Cappy and my SGS4G. Did you try uninstalling the update, delete /cache and dalvik cache, then allow the market to update? Maybe it was a bad download/install?

@P06o, It is recomended in the OP for almost every ROM to wait 10 minutes after full boot before you do anything. After that, you can flash whatever tweaks you want. That is how I have always done mine and have never had any issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
So you can dig up countless old ass posts but can't dig up one to find an answer to this?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
@thomas - I did. Tried every thing I could come up with. The new market isn't agreeing with my phone.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Do you have Amazon app installed? Try freezing that and see... Maybe they are conflicting? What ROM/tweaks are you using these days? Might need to clean up your data partition...

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sistema1927:
OK, here is probably a stupid question:

What's the deal with all the tweaks? Is this due to something strange in the SGS4G architecture/firmware? Reason I ask is due to the fact that my other Android experience is that you flash a ROM, and if you don't like it you choose another one. Quite frankly, it is a bit confusing, and I imagine that some users have forgotten all the various tweaks they have flashed. Not complaining (all customization is a freedom and improvement over stock), just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
No, nothing to do specifically with the architecture or anything. Think of it more like buying a sports car. You like the way it runs when you buy it but then you start doing things to it to make it handle better and go faster. Same concept with the tweaks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Sistema1927:
Understood, but I didn't see it with the G1, and don't see it with the Xoom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You can also flash tweaks on stock ROM that has custom kernel. Very nice to have.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
well instead of kanging ravers rom and adding the mods/tweaks it appears they just post the tweaks so you can add it to the rom. Since we dont have a CM7 build I think most roms are based of whitehawks valhalla or stock so adding the tweaks is what most people do instead.

There are lots of ways to get root - why get stuck on one solution? If the SOC links don't work, & google doesn't help you, why not pursue a different route?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thomas.raines:
Ok, 3 questions...

1. If you are on a kernel with ext4fs and convert to yaffs2, will you brick your phone?

2. How can you tell the difference between a BML ROM and an MTD ROM?

3. Could a MTD ROM be converted to a BML ROM?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
I remember something similar being asked but trying to search for it brings a ton of unrelated posts so...

Yesterday while playing draw something my simlock screen popped up said I had 2 attempts left to give the correct code. No soft reboot nothing just the simlock screen. I think something similar was asked about before and just can find what they said it COULD have been.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
Got two here...

Since this is a stupid questions thread and I am a "noob", I thought I'd post here. I have two questions, which may be stupid or may not be, but probably are. So here goes:

1) Are there any good original shutdown animations out there? My understanding is that for the SGS4G we need a .qmg file to be pushed (or somehow otherwise got) into the /system/media/video/shutdown folder (as seen here for example: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20240922&postcount=1011 - thanks tehgyb! 1000x better than Tmo's goodbye!). Because .qmg files are so Samsung-specific, there seems to be little out there, based on my Google searches.

So - anyone got a few good choices of shutdown animations in .qmg format that I can put on the phone?

2) The other day, after installing a ROM, I decided I didn't like it and tried to revert to my previous set-up via CWM in Recovery by restoring the Nandroid backup I had made. Everything seemed to be fine, until I rebooted and got stuck at the intro Samsung splash screen, meaning I had soft-bricked the phone. No worries, I used Heimdall and got everything golden again (and THEN later installed RaverX3X's Octane - dynamite!!! THANK YOU!!!). But my question is, why did I get soft-bricked in the first place? I'm thinking it was because I was moving from one ROM to another without wiping all of the caches first.

Thanks in advance for any insights here!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
@Manumission Your second question answer is probably because your initial nandroid was from CWM 3.0 and the new roms use 5.0. If you change to a older kernel that uses CWM 3.0 I bet your nanadroid will work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Manumission:
Eollie - Yeah, that was another idea I had. It pays to be always pay close attention to what those words, letters and numbers are saying!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ooohhaaahh:
i used to have an hd2. i had the dpi in build.prop set to 160. the last rom i had on it had a dialer that stayed full size with the lower dpi (the rom had the dpi set to 192 instead of the standard 240)

my question is: does anyone know how to make the dialer fullscreen after you lower the dpi in build.prop?

with the lower dpi the dialer is smaller, by alot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dschaap:
I was using Un-named ROM and decided to add the AS 14-1, after flashing the

Blue WiFi calling icon turned Green and quality of Wifi calling went seriously south.

Can anyone tell me what the change in color of the WiFi calling icon indicates.

Anyone had a similar experience.

Thank you,
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Normally when the icons are green it means they are connected to google servers. I cant say for certain because Im still on RC1 and my icons never change from grey.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cognus:
maybe stoopid ?

maybe I just haven't found the 'definitive' on this yet: is there some issue/issues with the Official Stock Samsung release of GB ??? some reason to avoid?

my number one "gotta have" with any handset is excellent WIFI support, and my understanding [if I have any] is that there were some WIFI enhancements from 2.2.x to 2.3.x for the SGS4G...

Since the handset is coming to me fairly pristine, I will want to upgrade to whatever asap and have time to fool with it before moving over all my stuff, if you know what I mean. so its time to 'xperiment :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
The two things I can think of off-hand are:

Lower wi-fi signal

Problems, at times, sending large text messages

The latter of which people have fixed by using a different modem other than the one supplied (flashed via ODIN or CWM). As for the lower wi-fi signal, it doesn't bother me too much. I think someone posted a fix or work-around for it a while back.

I wouldn't let either of them stop you from upgrading, though. The GB build is better than the Froyo build IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cognus:
so instead of wifi getting better... it went south :)

it would seem to be easy to put a tweak there to boost signal. i wonder if someone actually measured the db gain or is it guesswork?

anyway, I appreciate that tip. I'll start with the samsung release and if something is amiss I'll try your two suggestions..

how's the stock dsp? I'm looking forward to some much better audio than what we've been dealing with. would like to cease looking fondly back on my ipod touch ..:p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If I had the time I would find the thread. I think it was by tehgyb.

USB storage -- is that just being able to access the SD card from the computer via the USB cable when the phone is booted up, being able to read off a USB flash card from the phone, or being able to access the computer from the phone via the USB cable?

I haven't heard of the third thing but I read about some tablets being able to read USB flash drives.

Cut n paste function, send to ??

Hello, got Valhalla working on my girlfriends S4g, she's happy.

Noticed that in the browser, when selecting text, a small magnifying window pops up to show text selection, and a menu for what program to send text to. In this case, I could select her translate or dictionary app, which is a great feature. My question, what is this function called?? I want to find it for my SGSII, but haven't had any luck, it only offers cut-n-paste.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rusmik:
bah i thought there were good questions but there's too many pages of joking around and noise to read it all. i am disappoint.

here are my questions, short, sweet, and probably very stupid:

-will flashing a new kernal onto my phone wipe all apps and such?

(i ask because i want to flash gingerbread on my phone, it's running firmware version 2.2.1, build VUVKD1)

-and is the end of the build number important at all? the KD1 part, i ask because bhundven put KJ6 in the title of his. is there a pattern to it? i can't find an index.

-can i flash from such an old version of froyo straight to a new gingerbread app?

-is cwm still the best recovery? all the links on the wiki are getting kinda old.

-is flashing with cwm better, safer, more reliable than flashing through heimdall? it seems like the wiki mentions some roms can only be flashed a certain way, but some devs like the one that made that 'sweet child of mine' rom(which i can't find right now) didn't mention instructions. what's the best way to flash roms now? cwm all the time?

-i'm on froyo, but to upgrade to gingerbread i have to flash both a new kernal and a new rom correct? i can't have a gingerbread kernal with a froyo rom can i?

vurrrry stupid, thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Use the first or second guide in my signature to go to Gingerbread. If you are rooted you will have to use the second link since Kies mini will not recognize rooted phones.

No a new kernel won't put you on Gingerbread. You need Gingerbread bootloaders since you are on Froyo.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoutingwraith:
After rooting the phone do I need to do anything else in order to instal custom roms?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Follow the second link in my signature, follow the guide and flash with bootloaders... assuming you want a 2.3.6 Custom Gingerbread ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] josepresas:

Is there a standalone clockworkmod recovery file that I can install onto a SGS4G phone in which there is no CWM installation? Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
If you're on Froyo, you can use [RECOVERY]CWM FINAL for the SGS4G - FROYO ONLY. Note you need to have root access to the phone for that to work, though.

If you're on Gingerbread, no. You'll need to flash a ROM or kernel that has CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] scoutingwraith:
Ok a couple of questions again guys.

@lumin30 i read your instruction from your signature and i was curious.

Can i use ODIN for the SGS4G ?

Which is the best ROM (speed wise besides MIUI - if there is one for it) ?

Is there an ICS mod for this phone yet ? (i browsed the android development sub-forum and i couldnt find anything on it)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Yes you can use ODIN. Juls has a good guide for it in the general section.

All our custom ROM's are great!

An ICS port is close but none yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MidnightSwinga:
What a great forum this is. Also thanks to all the members who have contributed countless hours to developing and writing guides for this phone.

I managed to follow the "Definitive Bible" guide and have successfully (for the most part) installed a custom ROM on my phone. I've installed the" Valhalla Black FB Edition (Build 1, Apr 13)" created by FBis251.

My problem is that I keep getting Force Close errors for the Status Bar when I boot up.

Any clue on how to fix this? I'm sure it's something simple

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bhundven:
