OK, you need to first unlock your bootloader by following the guide linked below (It is a lot easier than it lookas at first glance, so dont be too scared about it);

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1254225

Unlocking the bootloader is the hard part, once you're past this you're laughing.

Now jumping ahead a bit....

Once the phone has an unlocked bootloader, all that is left to do is flash a custom kernel and loader (loader and bootloader being different things as the guide explains). Note that all the the custom kernels have CWM already built in as part of the kernel so you wont need to worry too much about that. Once done, flash the rom and GApps Enjoy super fast Android OS.

NOTE: I had problems using the FlashTool provided by the guide, instead I used the most recent version of FLashTool which is easily found via google.

Good luck!

If you need any further help either reply here or PM me!

Good luck!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
If by "CM7.1 official" you mean the Shakira ROM by the FreeXperia project that's for download on the CyanogenMod website I strongly advise you against it.

The ROM is buggy as hell, feature incomplete AND the "too low volume on calls" hasn't ever been fixed.

If you want to take the trouble to install a custom ROM that needs a custom Kernel I'd rather recommend you nAa's MiniCM7 2.1.9 ROM and nAa v11 Kernel.

Take my word that the FXP CM7 Shakira ROM isn't worth the time and effort.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agenty1609:
Agreed. I'm running the latest MiniCM7 build with nAa Kernel; It's amazingly stable... B.Jay you're so efficient and helpful.... thumbs up! You've already helped me today and I see you're back helping others!
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Invicta:
yeah, i did some research and found that cm7.2 official sucks big time.

I have decided to install kuya's latest 4.5.4 rom, thing is that when i flashed 3.2.175 it installed xrecovery and cwm 3.XX simultaneously, i mean if you choose to reboot it gives you two options

-boot into xrecovery

-boot into CWM

i dont know if 4.5.4 version can be flashed with CWM 3 version or xrecovery, dev. wont mention.

I can even find CWM 4.xx version for this phone, damn....

I have never upgraded CWM version 3 to 4, any guides on how to do it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can flash kuyaDROID 4.5.4 with either version of the recoveries, though using CWM is recommended.

About "CWM and xRecovery": Be glad that you have both as CWM version 3.x.x.x has a bug that creates defective backups. Meaning: you can restore a backup you created, but chances are that your device won't boot. Creating a backup through xRecovery is the safe fall-back here.

At any rate - puppet13th, creator of the "x8Toolbox" and "ODEX (on any ROM)", is currently attempting to make CWM 5 work. I already gave a beta-test version a try, but it locked up at the Sony Ericsson logo.

In short: See the dual recovery installation as a welcome gift, not something that "gives you two reboot options you don't want to have".

Hi all.

I'm a very beginner with android i used IOS before i got a question if somebody could help me would be great.

First i want to now how you can install paid apps for free and what i need to do for it i really dont now anything about android.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TBarb169:
You mean apps you previously purchased??? They should sync when you log into your google account. You can get a free paid app of the day through the Amazon app store too.

If you mean paid apps which you did not buy and you want for free...:eek: get a job and buy them. Support the developers who make them. They do not spend the time to do this stuff just for the fun of it:rolleyes:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolutiontheory:
Hello guys,

I flashed CM9 on my SGS2 and now reverted back to KF3 firmware stock by using Odin flash. The device is working fine and kies is detecting it. I also have reset the counter using jig.

But I really feel like the old roboto font from ICS is still remaining in my phone even in the new stock ROM. I did wipe everything before flashing the new ROM.

Can this happen or is it just my feeling? Please advice.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Hmm ... check the following:

Open Settings menu => Display => Screen => Font and change the current system font.

Then close all open windows till you are on your home screen.

Now reboot your phone and check the font.

Maybe there is still something "cached".

Just give it a try.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolutiontheory:
Maybe its just my feeling, but want to make sure.

I tried it and rebooted the phone. Thanks!

To be frank, I cannot even recognize the samsung font anymore! It has been a long time since I used it.:cool:

Just wanted to make sure of this thing, as I have to take it to service center and claim warranty. The volume rockers have a problem.

[Motorola Photon 4G] mando_tx:
Does anyone know why or how to correct the issue? I've loaded CM9 on my mopho and i get less signal everywhere i go now. I've reverted back to CM7 until i can find some sort of answer to this
[Motorola Photon 4G] magui43212:
Compare the dbm values of your signal instead of bars. Bars can be very misleading.
[Motorola Photon 4G] w0lf215:
^This. The stock Rom on the Photon is extremely misleading with its service bars. People compare just bars next to an Evo and think they have an amazing phone that gets crazy reception, while in reality if you look at dbm values it is quite comparable.. I know our build of CM9 has a more legitimate signal bars reading, as in more so comparable to other phones as compared to stock where Motorola/Sprint tried to pull a fast one with the bars to essentially screw over unsuspecting people by leading them to believe that the phone gets massively better signal.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ikarma:
Carriers should take note. All carriers should use this method to provide a unique customer experience. Just look what can be done! They should NOT modify the underlying OS and it should be easily uninstallible.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chlehqls:
I agree to an extent. It's nowhere near as bad as HTC's Sense which is so deeply ingrained within Android that it is bloated. Touchwiz is not nearly as bad as Sense but still a bit intrusive. Hopefully they won't botch the ICS update with too much Touchwiz.

Anywho, I saw this video a couple months back and was fairly impressed. Seems like the perfect launcher for MIUI.

I will buy this even if they charge $ 1000 for it..... well you got the idea. This is freakin awesome. This should be the official android 5, or 6 launcher. Looks quite complicated but i would love the fun of getting used to it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalJedi:
I second this.

It does look pretty incredible. I'll be curious to try it, but like others have said price will be an issue. I've already paid for ADW EX and LPP so buying yet another home replacement app almost seems silly. On the other hand, both the launchers I'm using are ridiculously slow with adding features so this could really get a lot of purchases at the right price point.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TerrorCandii:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] retskrad:
What's the three "pins", dots or whatever you want to call it on the right side of the phone, what does it do? Is it like a dock station or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] miketoasty:
They are supposed to be used in conjunction with a car dock or desk dock to leave the end of the phone open (Think about our phones in a dock, sideways, in your car being plugged into the charging port) the problem is, is that Samsung doesn't see enough customer want and therefor is not currently planning on making said accessories.

Well I'll be damned, just found this posted:

http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-D1F8BEBSTD
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
Could have something to do with the extortionate prices they wanted for them.

£49.99 for a dock? I expect at least a spare charger to come with it. However, this was not to be the case.

£49.99 for a piece of shaped plastic, with some die-cast weights inside, and 3 copper charging connectors. That's value for you :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
If it makes you feel better, the US version for Verizon is $49.99 but doesn't use said connectors, it's just a piece of cheap plastic with holes for cables.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] appel_:
That sucks. Wanted to buy both.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rowanparker:
I was just wondering if I could ask a potentially naive but somewhat related question.

How do the three pins work? I'm assuming you'd need to use two for charging (+ve and -ve)? How do get everything else through just one pin? Have I got the wrong end of the stick?

Thanks, Rowan.

[Motorola Droid X2] Superm@π:
I tried to install something similar. Locked bootloader prevented installation. Let me know if it works though. What I'm referring to is I Ubuntu installer on Android market.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Here it is in action:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZQozs5tXxwY

This would be frickin sweet but I would think that if anything were to keep us from having this, it would be the stupid locked bootloader. If our phones could do this, I'd for sure be buying a dock.
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
Thanks for the video link, I hadn't seen that yet. Extremely cool. (And yeah, extremely impossible given our bootloader situation.)
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
From what I get from the video, it seems like when you dock it to your Ubuntu computer, your android stuff is integrated into it. Or is there no computer needed? And if you dock it to an HD TV, you get pretty much an Ubuntu styled media center? Am I right? And I'm guessing this is just the beginning stages of it that not just anyone can get right now?

EDIT: Answered my own question on how it works. Read this on the website:

"Ubuntu for Android requires minimal custom hardware enablement, allowing fast and cost-efficient core integration. It requires a core based on Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) or any subsequent version.

Ubuntu and Android share the same kernel. When docked, the Ubuntu OS boots and runs concurrently with Android. This allows both mobile and desktop functionality to co-exist in different runtimes.

Shared services and applications are delivered using a Convergence API module which ensures the tight integration between desktop and mobile environments. Work is balanced across the cores of the phone. When the handset is not docked, both CPU cores transfer their full power to Android."

Requirements:

1. Dual-core 1GHz CPU

2. Video acceleration: shared kernel driver with associated X driver; Open GL, ES/EGL

3. Storage: 2GB for OS disk image

4. HDMI: video out with secondary frame buffer device

5. USB host mode

6. 512 MB RAM

I think number two is OUR only problem.

EDIT #2: And I guess they are advertising this for Handset makers or network operators. So I guess its not something we can just download and install ourselves.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I got around to getting in touch with the people at Ubuntu. I will await their reply and post what I get. Hopefully it will be some good news. I really want this!!!

---------- Post added at 10:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:17 PM ----------

By the way....a better video on this. Still AWESOME!!!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deT1LSCuI_Y

Update: At about 10:45 in the video, we kind of get what they are trying to do. They want to direct it towards device manufacturers to integrate it into future phones. He mentions one day maybe it will be able to be installed by "home users" but I dont think thats where its being pushed towards. The good thing is that they are working with Motorola. Maybe this is part of Google purchasing Motorola. But this whole thing seems to be still up in the air. I really hope we see this one day on the Droid X2.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
And if anyone is interested, this is the response I got from the Ubuntu Team:

Thank you for your interest in Ubuntu for Android. We are still in the early stages of development, but industry reaction so far has been incredible.

Right now, we’re working with hardware manufacturers and mobile operators to bring the product to market. If you’d like to follow our progerss, the easiest ways to do this are:

Join the discussions in #ubuntu on Freenode (irc).

Check the Ubuntu web pages for more updates.

Follow @Canonical on Twitter for the latest news.

Thanks again!

Yours sincerely,

The Ubuntu team
[Motorola Droid X2] DaveRichardson:
Cool, I really hope they're not blowing smoke about manufacturer interest.

History shows OEMs are more interested in "differentiation" than user experience. So the pessimistic side of me thinks we'll see more **** implementations of the concept (like Moto WebTop) and less OEMs embracing the awesome openness of Ubuntu.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
So, I don't know if anyone else has tried this or would even care, but I really love the look of Joelz Senseless (like the battery, wifi, 4g symbol), but I'm not a fan of Senseless ROMs. So, thanks to Joelz Senseless ROM being so similar to his Sense version, I pulled the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from the Senseless version. Then I pushed those files to the Sense version. Boom...Best of both worlds :D Just thought I would post it in case someone wants to try it. Didn't want to derail either thread with this. So far, nothing has blown up and everything works. If you get 2 clocks, you need to remove the one in Lee Droid tweaks. You can't have a centered clock anymore, but it's worth it to me.

EDIT: For those of you who try this, you will probably have to readd your Google accounts and stuff. IF you get any errors where it says account already exists, just go to apps and clear the data. You'll then have all the greatness of Sense and Senseless :D

I can repeat these results over and over again on my Prime. A good distance from my router (through 2 indoor walls, 1 outside brick wall) I get the top 4 throughputs on Photo 1. I cannot stream video without an awful lot of buffering and everything else is slow. With some testing I found if I put that little piece of foil on the face of the tablet(Photo2) then I get the bottom four throughputs and I can stream video until the cows come home with no buffering. It seems simple and works well on my unit. And again, I can repeat the results. I've been using this for three days now and am really happy with the improvement. I'd be real interested in knowing it this affects anyone else's unit the same way. If it does let everyone know and this may be a quick and easy way to help with your WiFi without having to result in disassembling your Prime or doing an RMA.

That is quite impressive. I'm game to give this a try. How far down the back of the Prime does the aluminum foil go?

I remember the little antenna earlier model iPhone users stuck on their phones. Perhaps something like that can simply be stuck on the Prime's glass? But, in your situation, the foil going over the top and down the back may also have an influence. I'm going to see if this improves GPS, too!
