Is there any reason we can't use the 2.3.5 and information therein to flash custom modifications to the kernel. If the zip is signed, can't we just use it as a delivery system?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
i believe the kernel itself has a type of signature check as well(and the signatures are crazily encrypted)
[Motorola Droid X2] dragonzkiller:
In theory we could you any version of a recovery to flash our own kernel. That has never been the problem. The problem comes with the signature checks that the system does at boot.

The kernel itself doesn't have a signature check, but the bootloader that starts the device for boot runs a signature check on certain partitions at boot. Including the boot partition where the kernel lies.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
thanks ..I knee it was something that checked it lol

I just don't know im talking about tho

thanks for clearing that up

[Motorola Droid X2] Deleted member 4177996:
Ok. That all makes sense. But is it possible that thee 2.3.5 update.zip contains the signature information itself? In other words, does the signature get updated when the 2.3.5 update gets applied?

Was wondering if anyone over here at XDA would like to get a live chat going?

I have software on my website already, but i'm wondering if anyone's interested.

It wouldn't be like XDA, because well, every time you log out, the chat history is cleared. But it'd be a great place to ask questions for immediate help.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] miwashi:
I was wondering if there are any apps for the galaxy note that allow this:

1. Macro focusing (i can't get a good focus lock for closeup subjects; the camera goes sharp for a moment then blur again as it takes the shot.)

2. changing the video recording format. It seems to be mp4 only on the stock camera app.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] programatix:
1. In micro focusing, it has been the same for Galaxy S, S2 and Note. I can't auto focus. The only way to use it is to change the focusing mode to micro focus and then take the photo directly.

Hi :)

I havnt rooted my phone yet due to lack of time, but recently the internal memory has filled up and it renders the phone impossible to work with. I have heard a factory reset fixes things (its not cache or installed apps, none of the usual stuff), but instead I've been thinking about rooting the phone and installing link2sd.

Here comes my question. I am happy enough with the stock rom, its stable, and I don't need to overclock, not right now anyway, I don't play games. If I installed the rooted version of the stock rom (2.3.5) could I install link2sd?

Ps, if other ROMs have noticeably better battery life I would be interested, if there's something stable out there that's got a good battery life maybe someone could point me in the right direction.

Thanks :)
[HTC Wildfire S] Tigger31337:
First, YES, it's entirely possible to run Link2SD on a non-overclock'ed ROM. Most of the OC'ed ROMs here are not that much of an improvement anyway, and if battery life is a concern for you - then don't bother with the OC'ed. I had an OC'ed kernel and eventually switched back to a stock 600Mhz kernel. My drop in CPU speed is barely noticeable, but my stability is MUCH, MUCH more noticeable (and more important) to me. Your mileage may vary.

You can always try Marvelous ROM (GB 2.3.5) or the stock 2.3.3 with A2SD mod.

Can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1432163&highlight=marvelous

and here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1307459&highlight=rom

respectively.

If there's a vanilla rooted stock ROM for this phone at 2.3.5, then I'm not aware of it.

Click Thanks only if you feel like it.
[HTC Wildfire S] Fikus011:
Unlock,then root,install link2sd and romtoolbox by jrummy,trust me you dont need any oc kernel and that stuff,as far as battery is in question...well u cant do much about it anyway

You can try cm7 by alquez,maybe you like it better then stock,its only rom worth trying for now anyway.

PEACE ;)
[HTC Wildfire S] godmustbcreazy:
yes u can coz i used to run link2sd on my stock rom bt now m using cm7
[HTC Wildfire S] sourabh1510:

It's working absolutely fine.

[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
Oh, so I can just root my phone and leave the stock rom on it, then install link2sd?
[HTC Wildfire S] Fikus011:
unlock via htc dev,then use htcsupertool to root,and u have a phone with stock rom and root after that,oh make sure u also flash clockwork recovery,u can find relevant tutorials and links on howto do all that here in general section...enjoy...
[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
Ok, so I go to do that, htcdev have released the 2.13.401.3 bootloader unlocker yesterday or something, problem is, in Ireland the fota is behind everywhere else, so I'm still on 2.13.401.2. Oh joy, a waiting game till I can upgrade :(
[HTC Wildfire S] Fikus011:
as to my knowledge you should be able to unlock with that version as well,visit their site,folow instructions carefully and that should do...before rooting make sure u read everything about htc tool and steps u need to take before doing it,just search it here in general forum...and after go to market and download link2sd..hope i was helpfull in anyway..enjoy
[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
It tells me I have to update to 2.13.401.3 before it can continue
[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
Actually, I see that football has an RUU up, I thought 2.13.401.3 was just OTA, obviously not. :D
[HTC Wildfire S] laurence997:
So I download the RUU, run it, then unlock bootloader, but now it seems I cant enter the boot loader menu :confused:

Hold vol down and power right, I did it a few times before, unless I'm slowly losing my mind and going crazy:rolleyes::o

Ps, Fastboot is off, is there anything else that could affect it?

EDIT, I forgot to take the battery out before doing it :o Phone is still reading locked though, I'll try unlock the bootloader again

It's working very well.Also I think it's better than APP2SD+!

Hello Community.

I've installed the CM7 on my ChaCha.

I'm having 2 big problems:

When I turn off my display the mobile data service doesn't come back online. I have to restart the complete phone to make it work again.

Its not a problem of my carrier. It worked all well with the stock rom.

The orther problem is that my phone hangs up all my calls after a single second on its own.

Honestly I wouldn't take this thread too seriously, I just spent 4 hours customizing ics on my phone and then it locked up and wouldn't boot animation, so I spent the next 2 hours putting a kk4 rom back on and restoring, tweaking etc, and at some point booting was taking forever because of the media scanner and that was the end of my patience so I had to blow off some steam. Some days in the world of custom roms just don't go your way, but in hindsight It was worth a shot to ics as I've been dying to play with the and I didn't wanna get hassled by a Verizon employee just to check it out.

Not too much till recently, I haven't been stock since December of 2010. I'm taking ics with a grain of salt, they are considered experimental versions as of now anyway.

HYDRAOSP

This is not my ROM. This ROM is the work of netchip and Paradoxxx and was originally developed for the i9100. I simply toyed around with settings to find a flash-aholics configuration that works.

Pure, Stock, AOSP derived from source code and built specifically for the Galaxy SII. This is not a derivative of CM7, although it uses certain CM7 modules for things like drivers... that are AOSP to begin with. Android 2.3.7.

It's around Sixty Megabytes. It IS Odex'ed, but that makes it extremely fast.

Please READ the original thread before asking any questions. If you DO have questions, post in the i9100 forum if it's a general question about the ROM, and post here if it's a question specific to our device.

Siyah Kernel does not work (extract the latest CM7 kernel and use that if the one Flash-aholicsTool provides isn't to your liking)

ORIGINAL ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1485411

FLASH-AHOLICSTOOL:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1484223

Directions

Open the ROM file in Flash-aholicsTool

Change the Kernel to "CM7 11-16-2011"

Change the Modem to the CM7/MIUI based KK6 (may be unnecessary but it's what I did)

Hellraise the ROM

Build the ROM

Reboot into Recovery mode

Factory Reset, Wipe Dalvik, Format /system

Flash ROM

Flash GoogleApps package whenever (you can use the CM7 one if you want)

My experience with the ROM:

The fastest ROM I've ever used. The battery life is outstanding. 70% after 11+hours of average usage. It comes with the bare necessities, but the market is there for everything else you want and need. I will most probably stick with this ROM until ICS is stable enough for usage.

I hellraised this ROM, and have posted a download link below.

All credit goes to the original developer *Paradoxxx*, Flashaholic' by ktoonsez, and Entropy512's original Hellraiser script.

Here's a link to the original thread HydraAOSP by Paradoxxx

The reason this is here is for anyone clicking on this thread that actually WANTED A DOWNLOAD link for a rom =D I have PM'd Paradoxxx to let him know I'm putting this link here. If requested, it will be taken down, or at the moderator's wishes. This is built with Siyah kernel 2.1.2, no init.d changes or build.prop changes done by me. It will not flash a modem, so whatever modem you have flashed will still be there upon boot of this ROM.

I'm not a developer, nor do I want any credit for anything. Please donate or thank the original developer, and those making this possible. God bless, here's the download link.

Hellraised Hydra AOSP by Paradoxxx

EDIT: I didn't modify the build.prop so coming from a stock ROM (non hellraised) you may have to modify it yourself, or just flash a hellraised rom like ICSCREWED before flashing this to make it work properly.

I'm not familiar with the Flashaholic tool, but CM7/AOSP based roms can't be hellraised (per the hellraiser OP), that's why it doesn't work.

I hadn't tried it though.

1. Select Rom

2. Change Kernel to Siyah 2.6.12 ( this was a guess because i know the Siyah kernel normally works CM/MIUI roms)

3. CM7/MIUI Based Modem (KK6)

4. Check "Hellraise"

5. For kicks I changed device name to i777

Steps

1. Factory Reset

2. Wipe Cache

3. Wipe Dalvik

4. Flash ROM 1

5. Reboot
