Will you be able to update to MIUI ICS when it comes out, or not possible till TouchWiz sources released?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] spiral5:
That´s good news. Greetings from Granada, you are a crack.;)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] orei:
i'm coming from wiui.. can flash directly your v6 from cwm, or need to update with odin?

last time that try to update, system never boot.. and have to reflash the cwm with odin, and revert back on my oldest wiui mod.

Now i've the yellow triangle on boot.. but isn't a problem.. for now.. i'vre read that with ics version, to remove the triangle the method isn't secure..

is it?

thanks a lot!!

Taghome on ICS

I tried it on my Galaxy Nexus running Manhattan ROM IC120 release (4.0.3).

It seems to run fine, tell me if you want me to try anything specific that would make it crash, the pull-up app drawer works fine :)

[General Questions and Answers] hduenas1989:
OK so I need help clearing up some things about charging my phone. I have searched forums and google and I keep finding conflicting responses. I figured XDA may have plenty of knowledgeable people to clear things up. Here is what I think is correct. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I want to find a faster way to charge my phone.

USB data cables (with the exception of some that come from our phone manufacturers) are limited to 500mA because the data pins limit the current that goes through regardless of the rating of the wall adapter.

Example: you have a 1A AC adapter but your phone is only drawing 500mA when charging because you are using a data cable.

Charging cables have the data pins shorted (or missing) and will charge your phone at whatever mA the AC (or DC) adapter is rated at.

Your phone will also have a built in regulator to draw a certain amount of mA's regardless of what the adapter/cable are rated at.

Keeping all these things in mind, I have an AC adapter rated at 5V (standard for these phones) and 2.1A (2100 mA), and my factory samsung micro usb cable that is capable of data transfer as well. Since it is used for data transfer as well I wanted to buy a charging usb cable (with the data pins missing). My theory is this will remove all bottlenecks for charging speed and let the phone's battery pull what it needs, uninhibited by the usb cable and with more than enough current to keep a fast charging rate even when the phone is being used (light usage of course, I dont want to overheat the battery).

If anyone knows about this please clear things up for me, this would make it so much less inconvenient to give my phone a quick charge when needed.
[General Questions and Answers] Dark3n:
This is my understanding, i might be incorrect:

The 500mA limit doesn't come from the cable but from the mainboard usb specifications.

USB2 can deliver upto 500mA, USB3 upto 900mA.

The different between the "charging" and "data" cables are most likely missing pines, but this has no influence on the current delivered via the cable.

I believe the phones uses the missing connections on a "charge" cable to detect it as charging from an outlet instead of a computer.

I would find it interesting to know if the phones charging routines differ depending on which power source, it thinks, it is connected to.

Probably some typos, but i'm tired ;-).
[General Questions and Answers] hduenas1989:
I guess only thing left to do is buy the usb cable without the data pins and see if it makes a difference. I'll post the results here.

Sent from my rooted GameBoy Color
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
As Dark3n stated, the limitation is with the USB port capabilities.
[General Questions and Answers] nevrlow:
Ok you said you want to know the fastest way to charge. The fastest is with the phone off of couse. 2nd. Having a phone in airplane mode will charge fast.

Ohh ok took a while to understand what he meant. Makes sense, thanks all this clears it up

[General Questions and Answers] AspiringDeveloper:
The fastest method is to have a second battery and an external charger. A battery is much more portable than a charger if you are just out for a day, and if you are traveling, the extra battery & it's charger are not much more bulk than the phone charger alone. I go this route whenever possible as the benefits are inestimable.

my galaxy tab p1000jpjpc gives WIFI error--installed new rom,did factory reset but still WI FI give me error
[Galaxy Tab General] priyana:
if you want people to help, at least explain what is your WI FI error.

Did it turn on?

Can you see your access point. If not, can you see other's access point.

Or you can see it but cannot connect. Do you have security set in your router? MAC address access list in use? WPE/WPA/WPA2 ? Hidden SSID in use?

Or you seems connected but can't access internet. Did you get an IP address?
[Galaxy Tab General] basem abojomana:
every thing is okey,my setting, my access point and my router. the problem is that when i press the WIFI icon to turn on,it give me error and never turn on, even after change the router and the WIFI network, never turn on even after installed new rom, and new route and factory reset

[Galaxy Tab General] JonSlater:
Hi. I had this same issue. My solution was an app in the market called Fast Reboot. This closes and restarts all running programs. This seems to clear whatever was blocking the wigi from coming on.

If you have Tasker you may wish create a Task (and perhaps a widgit) to run the apply then switch wifi on. I have a profile that does this whenever I approach my home, and when my Tab is rebooted.
[Galaxy Tab General] basem abojomana:
still ERROR

What if you switch off 3G, then fast reboot, then switch on wifi?

Are there any nice themes that runs on overcome 7series v4.1.0 ? :)
[HTC 7 Pro] IM0001:
Ok so the Arrive has finally gotten HSPL and now needs some Roms.

To get the HSPL go Here

To Downgrade from the Mango Update's 4.3 Bootloader Go Here

It is a pretty easy and straightforward job for the Sprint Arrive, I cannot comment on any other versions. And you must check that you have only 4.3 (or 4.X where X = any number) but the downgrade will not work without the Goldcard method if anyone has a SPL Bootloader of 5.0 or above. Just be warned. If you brick your phone, it is your own fault that you could not read these simple instructions and warnings.

Read, be patient, and be rewarded. :cool:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qasq:
Like in topic. The worse thing in S2 for me is it's terrible video performance. I got fujitsu chip, and there is some solution to improve framerate (focus issue) but the cost is lack of light diode, which I cannot loose. So here come's my question - is it worth moving into Note? I now there are some advantages /dis, I'm well aware of all of this. But it's hard to find any complaints for both S2 and Note camera - what doesn't acctually mean that there is nothing to complain about. Maybe just that some people doesn't find that so crucial for their phone. I do, so please help me :) If I see advertise saying 1080p 30fps = thats what I assume to have. Samsung Wave made better quality movies than my current S2. Maybe it's caused by this particular model, it's quite possible I think, but I just want to know if it's worth moving further into galaxy family, or maybe to switch to another company...

thx in advance.

I have newly installed android typhoon CM 7.1.0 v3.7.0 ROM clk.

2 After creating partition I installed typhoon CM 7.1.0 v3.7.0 ROM clk.

Now system is working and titanium backup shows that there is the active 950 MB a2sd partition.

Problem is that I dont know how should I install programs from android market into this 2SD partition. Im not able to install them nor move there.

So what should I do ?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
When installing an app, choose internal storage, typhoon will put it on the SD ext. There is nothing you need to do, it is automatic. Do not choose 'move to SD ',, that will remove it from ext and put it on fat32. Make sure all apps have been moved to internal.

Also when you install, it LOOKS like internal memory drops,,, it doesn't really,, wait a few minutes or restart and memory will go back up.

example, you install a 20mb app,, available internal storage falls by 20mb,, reboot, internal storage goes back up.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rmanning82:
I just bought a brand new Droid Razr and SIM card. I bought them from someone who received a couple extras as gifts. (completely legit and was not shady whatsoever) I activated it all yesterday and it was working perfectly.

During the night it started to update automatically. No problem there. I've had 3 droids and they all did that at some point in their time with me. It made an error and then failed ultimately. It happened over night, so I wasn't even paying attention to it. This morning it was stuck with no service, no data, nothing. I tried turning it off and then back on, putting airplane mode on and then off. No luck. I then did a factory reset. Now it is stuck at the "touch the android screen" and if you do it says "please wait, this may take a few minutes." It does not change. I waited as long as the battery would stay charged. Still nothing.

I also tried re activating it on the verizon wireless website. No luck.

I even used the Emergency Call option on it and dialed *228. It said sorry this SIM card is not recognized or registered.

Hello everybody,

I'm going to install a new ROM - it was advised to me frankstain XWLA4 ROM - and I still have some question about installing that ROM:

1- which do I install first: the firmware or the kernel? And in Odin, where do I put Kernel?

2-Is it "safe" to install frankstain XWLA4 ROM? Would I have errors on my Samsung Galaxy S2?

3- how can I wipe my device (to clean all Vodafone ES "rubbish")? Should I do the wipe before or after installing the ROM and flashing my device?

4- By installing Stock ROM and CF-root I won't change the kernel right?

Thanks.

The others I think I know the answer but this question is essencial so I can start to install the new Firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
LA4 is very stable I've been running it for the last two days with no problems. If you flash a CF kernel you will have a different kernel but it will be as close to stock as possible just with a couple of extra features. You can down load the the original firmware/kernel from intratechs thread. All you need to do is flash a frankesten LA4 from intratech, it's all in one so you just use pda in odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diogogomes11:
Thanks man but I don't know what's LA4 ROM... and a buddy of our on anoher thread recommended me frankstain XWLA4 ROM and so I would like to install it.

For example, in this case:

"XWLA4

Android 2.3.6

There is no carrier branding

This package has: PDA: XWLA4| Modem/phone: XXKI3| CSC: XEUKH2

Download: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/3V...I9100XEUKH2.7z

XWLA4 Stock Kernel: http://uploadmirrors.com/download/0M..._I9100XWLA4.7z

Password: intratech@XDA

"

What should I install first? Kernel or the firmware? And where do I put Kernel on Odin?

Thanks.:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Most firmwares will have kernels included. Work with that for now.

Yes. Those "Frankenstein" packages are stock, except Intratech mixed and matched the PDA, CSC, and modems. They just won't get recognized by Kies as a valid updateable firmware because of this though.

Flash an unbranded stock firmware. Post #2 above the Frankenstein firmwares of the same thread. Or the Frankenstein ones. The only difference is the non-Frankenstein ones will probably be recognized by Kies as upgradeable, and the Frankenstein ones will probably not.

Wrong. If you install just stock ROM, yes. CF-Root is a custom kernel, so if you install that, you ARE changing the kernel.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

As above, most if not all firmwares come with a kernel. If you want a custom kernel you must flash it AFTER you flash a firmware. Else if you flash a kernel first, then the firmware, then the firmware's kernel will overwrite the kernel you flashed first.

Kernels generally go in the PDA section of Odin.

EDIT: I think I see your confusion. You're wondering about the "stock kernel" link that's right below the firmware link. Right? Well that's there just in case you need it. For example, if you flashed a CF-Root kernel, and wanted to flash the stock kernel back. If you never end up flashing a non-stock kernel, then you won't need it. But I'd download it anyways, just in case you need it later.
