And, because I am the king of overkill, I also make sure all my apps are on a list in appbrain so I have a handy list to go to if I have any problems with titanium backup or want to do completely fresh installs for any reason.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sitlet:
Yea Titanium will backup both the app AND it's associated data (i.e. game saves). If you buy the pro version (VERY worth it) you can backup and restore all your apps with one click.

But as everyone else said, your paid apps are always remembered from the market, so you can always just re-download them. This won't save your app's data, but it can be done.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You can now also use Google to backup and restore your apps and when u sign in on a fresh install it reinstalls all your apps from the market but its slower than tibu since the download and install instead of just installing from a compressed backup on your SD

Edit: also mybackuproot will backup.and install apps with one click and its free but last time I used it I couldn't find a way to pick and choose apps like in tibu you can run a batch and check off ones you want to reinstall and not have to install em all

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenKranged:
I assume you've done the SixAxisPairTool.exe pairing.

Type 1 enables the phone's native bluetooth, type 2 does not.

When using type 2 the device's BT toggle may appear off.

But if I am reading your message correctly, even pressing PS button after the BT toggle appears to turn off is unsucessful?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yp261:
the type one doesnt work, it shows that cant configure bluetooth or something and starting with type 2.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sir_earl:
Everything is normal in your output. If you've changed the master address and it's still not connecting, try pressing the reset button on the bottom of the controller with a paper clip. If it still doesn't work, your controller is most probably not an original Sony controller, so you will need to get one that is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yp261:
it cant be non original if i get this pad with my console... sixaxis works on cyanogen mod, but i cant connect it only on gamerzrom. i dont tried to connect, bluetooth turns off after all errors show..

[Desire General] MetinKale38:
Hi,

Im using a sense 3.5 rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1315961). Its very fast and stable but the 3d effect needs to much ram and that means bad multitasking and the phone gets too hot too fast.

With other launchers like golauncher, i havent these problems.

So i'd like to disable the 3d effect.

Is there a way todo that, or only to change the launcher to sense 2.3 launcher but still have all other sense 3.5 things?

Mfg metinkale

Sorry if it isnt corect english, my english isnt best.

Yes. You can disable it in the RCMix3D tweaks.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpreichart:
Hi,

I recently upgraded to this device from the EVO3D. I have a question with regards to rooting.

With the EVO, every time there was a major OTA update, there were always firmware/radio updates to flash through the bootloader with fastboot in addition to the ROM base itself.

Does this exist with Samsung phones or is everything contained within the ROM package itself? I have a phone with 2.3.4 and was going to try a 2.3.6 ROM but didn't want to leave any important updates behind.

I have read through all the stickies and page through the general as well as the Q& A section and did not see it addressed.

Thanks for the help.

Obviously anyone who wants to chime in is more than welcome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Basically, anything is independently flashable. Sometimes there will be interdependencies between components, but not usually.

1) Right now there is NO reason to ever flash bootloaders - avoid it. Any CWM-flashable firmware in these forums does not include BLs. (This may change with ICS.)

2) Don't flash anything with a .PIT in Odin - it'll hose your device.

3) You can mix and match any radio firmware with any system firmware. (At least for Gingerbread. ICS is an unknown.) It's not like many HTC devices, where the radio acted as a bootloader for the applications processor - on Samsungs, the AP bootloads the modem.

4) Older kernels can cause problems with newer firmwares. My latest releases should work with any Gingerbread firmware other than AOSP/CM7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpreichart:
Thank you. I am a forever Noob.

With HTC the updates were always stripped of any bootloader updates to remain s-off. The remainder was always flashed through recovery or fastboot. I am trying to understand this wotld a little more. I have become very afraid of bootloaders from my time there.

I would assume the good people here will help guys like me if things change with ICS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yup. Any ICS update should contain clear instructions on if the bootloader situation changes. (Right now, there's no evidence of this.)

It is my opinion that anyone who provides a bootloader flash should always do it separately and make it clear under what circumstances the user should flash the BLs.

In general, be careful about flashing factory-originated firmware updates as these can include bootloaders. Almost anything here won't. (However, the first UCKK6 leaks did... Next time an I777 leak shows up we know how to remove the BLs though.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpreichart:
One last question. You have been very helpful. If i use your kernel to get CWM onto the phone to avoid the flash counter, it will play nice with stock rooted 2.3.4?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
This is by choice. Just by spending a little time reading the FAQ, looking through the stickies and perusing the forum in general would have probably prevented you from starting this thread. Always do a search before starting a new thread and whenever possible post to an already existing related thread rather than start a new one. No more newbie pass for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpreichart:
I mentioned above that I have / had searched. I did not find the same question asked. If I missed it, I apologize. It took me a few days to get the courage to post. I did not want to start a discussion and get 5 responses like yours (it seems that is the most common response people get when they ask questions).

Sometimes you have to ask a question in a way that makes sense to you to understand the answer. Otherwise what is the point of a Q& A section?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
Yes, it should. You'll need to root your phone to install my kernel without the counter - either SuperOneClick (works for UCKH7) or my prerooted system image (flashing custom system images doesn't trigger the counter)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
It certianly isn't to ask questions that can be answered with an investment in time and reading or that have been asked and asnwered already.

Here's a tip I and others give newbies looking for answers: During the initial period of looking/searching/reading, do NOT use your phone. Use a PC so you can see full pages and it will be easier to gather information. Tapatalk or the XDA app should be limited to making replies or casual reading of the forum, not as a way to research these often complex subjects.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jpreichart:
I agree with you. For what it's worth, I did search using a desktop. Just typing on my phone. I can't put it down!

[HTC Inspire 4G] greymarch:
My friend gave me an AT&T Inspire to take with me to the U.K. The phone is no longer under contract with AT&T, but the phone has never been rooted, has no simcard in it, never been modded, and has never been unlocked.

When I arrive in the U.K. I want to buy a U.K. simcard and use the phone in the U.K. What do I need to do to the phone so it will work in the U.K. with a U.K. simcard?

I have been reading these messageboards for the past several days, and I am getting lots of mixed signals on what I need to do. I would be very appreciative if someone could post the easiest possible steps to take, so that I may use this phone in the U.K. with a U.K. simcard.

I write about technology, including android smartphones at my website.

http://www.greymarch.com
[HTC Inspire 4G] pazzo02:
There are 2 ways to go about this. Easiest would be to get the unlock code from AT&T, but there's no guarantee they'll give it to you. If your friend is still a customer, have him call and they should give it to him if his account is in good standing. Second option would be to root it. This is obviously harder than typing in an unlock code, but it also makes the phone work so much better. If you are somewhat tech saavy, you shouldn't have a problem.
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
You have a few options since all you want to do is sim unlock.

1) your friend could give att a call and get them to unlock it for him

2) root it with the ace hack kit. That will simunlock it plus the benefits of custom roms if you choose-my personal choice) plus its free unlike below

3)try one of those sim unlock websites if you so choose

NOTE: you will not get 3g, nothing you can do about it att and Europe use different frequencies for 3g. You will be stuck on edge but still use it.

NOTE 2: just because it is unlocked doesn't mean all carriers/sim cards work. Most do but as I've seen a few in the dhd threads, some people had issues with the sim/carrier or both

Edit- beaten to the punch
[HTC Inspire 4G] greymarch:
What about using Bubby's simple root tool to root the phone? Would that be easier than the Ace hack kit?

By the way, the phone is running gingerbread (2.3.3) with Sense 2.1
[HTC Inspire 4G] GuestK007:
easier than the ace hack kit would involve not rooting at all. i would suggest only using ace
[HTC Inspire 4G] greymarch:
I rooted the phone using the Ace hack kit. Seems to have worked. I checked for S-OFF, and the phone now to has S-OFF. Most difficult part was properly prepping my desktop machine before I ran the Ace Hack kit.

How do I decide which U.K. simcard to buy? Should I wait until I arrive in the U.K. to buy the simcard, or should I buy one online before my trip? I will be all over the U.K. during my trip. How can I find out which U.K. simcard will be the most reliable no matter where I travel in the U.K? Also, obviously which U.K. simcard works best with a rooted, unlocked AT&T Inspire?
[HTC Inspire 4G] marsdta:
I would wait to you get there. Just ask them to try out their sim card to make sure it works on your phone.you'll notice right away if the simcard will work. The one I've seen the most with an issue was their 3 network. BUT it wasnt all the time, many people have no issues with any of the networks, but occasionally for what ever reason it doesn't work. Their was thus thread with this Guy I was helping out and he never beleived that he was unlocked because one sim card wouldn't work. If the hack.kit worked your sim unlocked but he refused to believe unrooting and rerooting several times to find some mystical super unlock. He never got it too work and the thread died out

That's why I added that notice on.my previous post. Just try out the sim and see if it plays nice with your phone. As to which sim is better, I don't know. I would look at all the carriers coverage maps and pick which one will give you the coverage you need with all your travels

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willieboya:
sky go will only work if you change the build prop to say Galaxy Nexus instead of "Amazon Kindle Fire" and change amazon to say google in the build description. Also it will not work on rooted kindles, so after making the change to the build prop you will need to unroot, it doesnt work if you have a custom rom either lol. alot of ifs and buts. so to sumarise.... you need stock rom rooted, change build prop as per above, and unroot after build prop has been modified.
