Can someone upload the files for root?

The mulitupload is down forever

and I cannot download the file for root

anyone can help?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imsotall:
As the title states really. Is there any way I can find out what app or process is launching the maps app quietly in the background?

I am running AOKP M3 but the issue started happening a while after flashing the ROM from stock so I don't think that it is linked to that.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Do you have latitude enabled? I think thats the only thing i can think of...my maps seems to behave.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] imsotall:
Latitude is installed but not running
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kkl1993:
it is a bug with ICS, just open the Maps app and then close it. you should be fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] x942:
+1 to that. Also I found if you don't use maps and just remove it (assuming you have root) it will save battery life. I get an extra hour or so now that I removed it and don't have to worry about it launching in the background.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mjohnson4580:
Ok here it goes I have had nothing but HTC android devices on sprint. Sometime this week I will be getting the note. I am no noob with HTC devices I can do a pretty big amount of stuff but with Samsung its a different story. Especially this whole thing of using odin to do stuff is new to me. One of my question is this do you have to use odin or can you use cwm for everything? The other question is this why do samsung devices need a root kernel where as other devices need the hboot unlocked or a root in the system? Also I have init.d scripts and init_post_boot.sh files that I have edit to my liking with editing can I make them run on the note? Most of them are settings that i like and feel make my phone run the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] maxjivi05:
Your scripts will work and Samsung just has a different way they pack their software then HTC and the other company's.

ODIN is what we mainly use to get started or revert back to stock once you are rooted with a customer recovery like CWM you can use Clockwork and flash roms and kernels but to revert 100% to stock you will be looking at ODIN which is super easy to use. Basically you put your phone in download mode and it finds your phone you select what you want to flash follow instructions on that file you are flashing and it'll reboot when done.

My personal experience I've bricked a few phones but everyone I was able to bring back with ODIN =) & you will love the feel of Samsung Phones over HTC I went from a Captivate to a Inspire wasn't happy then went to a Infuse now I'm on my Note =)

& about the Root kernel it's easier to root the phone that way from what I've noticed the devs doing.

Ever since 2 hours after I got my phone, I've been using CM7.2. It's been pretty decent. But, are there any advantages of stock-based roms over Cyanogenmod?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Another one of these threads? Just try them out yourself and see
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] afrojoc:
You get some stock apps that you can't get in Cyanogen. And for me you get a silkier and smoother experience on stock based roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ishmael47:
I like the idea of pure Android, but what completely killed it for me in CM7 was how double tap zoom works. I came from iPhone so I was used to a "zoom-fit" type action whenever I double tapped on a picture or paragraph while browsing. In CM7, it wouldn't do that. Ever. Text re-wrap seems to be the big thing in that ROM. I hate it. So I stay with stock based ROMs, which zoom-fit on double tap.

So what I'm saying is: its the little things that determine which one you pick. If you find something on one thats minorly annoying, in 3 months you'll be ready to rip your hair out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nh5:
I've grown to become a big cm7 fan past few months. I switch back and forth now. Only things I find flaky in CM7 include the headphone volume (not their fault blame samsung), and the bluetooth implementation seems a bit flaky.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
With CM7 you can double tap to zoom just fine and it wraps the paragraph also. Plus if you want super large text you can use two fingers to make the words as big as you want, then double tap and it will keep the size ann rewrap it also. Just fyi

I used cm7 for about 3 weeks, I liked it but did go back to a stock based rom. My only issues were missing the stock/Samsung clock and video playback had problems. Otherwise it was very nice. I'm running icscrewd now and love it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yahoowizard:
Might have just been me, but I hated the lack of the "My Files" thing and the missing "Task Manger" thing after holding "Home" from the main screen.

As for these topics, I really think we should get ONE thread with a big poll where people can vote on which ROM they're using, and maybe one more thread with just a brief compare/contrast (or just allow people to post in the thread under the poll), but that's optional. It's not like we one big thread, so can't complain when more of these threads do emerge after the older ones get buried, locked, deleted, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] eortizr:
CM7 is really good and it gives you a lot of control over you device and themeing options, but I always go back to stock because of some stock apps and video playback which is broken in CM7 ( it will only play videos recorded using CM7)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] switters1:
Video playback wasn't a big problem with CM7 because 3rd party players could usually handle it.

A2DP audio (e.g. music over bluetooth) was the dealbreaker for me. It is hopelessly broken on CM7 (lack of driver support as usual).

Also, wonky headset volume was problematic. And for the few times that I want to do video out to impress friends/parents with my S2, CM7 also came up short.

On Unnamed 2.2.1 now, but battery drain is worse than CM7...

still looking for that perfect ROM...

You can try the European Hellraised and slimmed down ROMs that just came out. One of them is based on XWKL1 (not yet named) and one is based on XWLA4 (LilRom). They are both pretty good and have a very nice stock experience. You can theme them just like you would with an i9100 rom, so it can come out very nice. You can also run JKay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
There are going to be a lot of both since Entropys tutorial. The other is CleanRom if I remember correctly. And entropys KL1 is Sh1tRom, he mentioned work on an LA4 version too.

Have you tried the new roms yourself? If so can you comment? I'm really reluctant to leave UnNamed 1.3.2. Bad experiences with the other stuff out there. No offense to any devs, just UnNamed does it for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ou812bkewl:
I get a wild hair about every few weeks and flash CM7 twiceweekly nighly in the dev section. I always have the same issue with CM7 that I did when I had it on the Captivate. The bluetooth would randomly disconnect my bt headset. While in call, the bt audio was crackly and get worse until it disconnected. I like to listen to podcasts on my bt headset while I'm at work, so that always kills my enthusiasm for CM7. I love CM7 otherwise.

I really think it has something to do with my bt headset (Sammy's WEP870), but the problem doesn't exist in any Samsung based ROMs (even on the Captivate). It has to be some compatibility between the bt drivers and hardware. Maybe some of the bt profiles aren't handled perfectly.

If you need bluetooth dependability, I would test CM7 under normal bt use before investing much time in getting it cozy with all your apps and customizations. Other than that, its solid. Give the twiceweekly nightly a try.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jonman11:
well, if you like the company's UI, then thats a plus to the stock-based ROM, and if you hate it, like motoblur, then cm7 and other aosp roms would work better for you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ishmael47:
I'm not sure you understand. In CM7 it does zoom when I double tap, sure. But it zooms to a preset amount. No matter what. If the object I tap is 'x' size, double tap zoom zooms to 'y' size every freaking time. On stock ROMs, if the object is 'x' size, it zooms to 'x' size. If its 'y' size, it zooms to 'y' size. This is all I want.

And I abhor text rewrap. It looks so beyond clunky that its just a massive turnoff. Half the time it'll rewrap the text without even panning the screen over to the rewrapped text! Its just all-around unpolished and clunky as hell.

Its the little things like this that keep me from going anywhere near CM7 with a 10 ft pole.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
Cm7 doesn't rewrap text unless you turn that on in cmsettings
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tysj:
I just think stock gingerbread sucks for the most part. Doesn't make sense to me to have to download a bunch of apps just to get it to almost do the things a Samsung ROM can do. CM9/ICS on the other hand, seems to change all that for me when I tried it out. To me, all CM7 had going for it was the theme engine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ishmael47:
I'll try again. I abhor text rewrap, so I turn it off. However, when you double tap to zoom it zooms to a fixed width. Therefore, when I zoom onto a paragraph, I usually end up chopping the left or right half of it off. To remedy this, I have to use the pinch-zoom function which is not good for 1-handed browsing.

In stock based ROMs, double-tap zoom will zoom to the size of the paragraph every time. Not a fixed width like in CM7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MaxRabbit:
I love CM7 for the ability to hold down a volume button to jump forward or backward in music or Pandora. I also find the ability to press and hold the back arrow to force close an app much cleaner than opening up the clunky task manager.

Also, I hate how, on stock roms, notifications play through the phone speaker when headphones are plugged in. In CM7, that is completely configurable.

I have the first one, if your phone is not in airplane mode the screen on your tv often goes completely black. You have to reconnect the mhl cable to display the screen on your tv again. Annoying when watching videos but putting your phone into airplane mode fixes this completely.

Quality is great, downloading a movie and watching it looks incredible, full HD. However if you plan on watching youtube videos on your TV, I suggest you download the app TubeMate, it allows you to stream YT videos in a much higher quality than the standard app.

MHL Adaptor

I bought one a few days ago from Amazon.co.uk, offical Samsung for £14.99 with free delivery, bargain in my opinion.

You have to connect the Samsung charger to power it (although i haven't tested it without the charger to see if it still works). The phone battery seems to drain really fast with the MHL outputting via HDMI, and gets a little warm also, both cores doing their bit no doubt.

Have to say i'm very happy with, and the CEC function (if your tv supports it) is the icing on the cake. With it, you can use your tv's remote (or any ALL in One as in my case [Logitech]) to control the phone navigation, you can play games using the remotes d-pad, and use it to click on items in the menu, or on the internet, rewind, pause and fast forward videos.

I too had the screen blacking out on me as one person mentioned earlier, espcially when playing games, I'll try and see what flight mode does for it, but my conclusions where a less than perfect HDMI cable, as when i tested it on my brothers tv it worked flawlessly without a single blackout (Using a HDMI cable supplied with his SKY+ box).
[Galaxy S II Accessories] Elemetrix:
Might have to buy one of these but i'm still looking for a solution to sending audio NOT over the HDMI since I don't have a HDMI input on my monitors, only DVI. Either over analogue 3.5mm out or bluetooth would be fine!

I think the reason it drains the battery still is because it is using the data pins to send the video. For fast charge these pins would usually be shorted and you can't have both. (That's my understanding anyway!)

+1 I never use aftermarket task killers, the built in one is way better. I have a shortcut on the home screen that I use often. Usually I kill all tasks and clean RAM when shutting off the phone (If I have been using apps). Yes I use Data and Wifi. Over half of the time on the screenshot was with both on. The new modem has made a pretty good difference as far as I can tell. Some of them are really bad on battery, I've noticed L2 is one of the worst. Probably the biggest factor is uninstalling a few apps that were keeping my phone from going into deep sleep. An Alarm app was the worst culprit, and a couple of others with automatic notifications that I disabled. I hate automatic notifications.
