Wow, that was unexpected. I've never heard of a usb problem with Alfs kernel. Downloaded it and gonna try later. Thanks a ton man!

Since I can't access my SD card I'm gonna try it with my fathers X8. Fortunately, he is on stock kernel. Thanks again.

EDIT: Wait, no...The only way is to flash stock kernel right?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Is that vold update ROM specific? I mean...nAa thread doesn't have anything like that, neither does the SDE ROM which I'm using. I heard something about deleting chargemon but it was not confirmed. I also heard that some SD cards are just incompatible with CM.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx8:
Only Alfs kernel needs the chargemon-vold patch
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bolussimo:
Hmmm... Are You using a SWAP? Cause when You connect phone to PC the card should be unmounted from phone. But SWAP makes it impossible (IMO) unless You deactivate it.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidx8:
No, you can unmount sd when swap is on.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Ahhh yes, it was the swap. I deleted it, I was not satisfied by it anyway..so ok, it connects now. Thanks

Hi,

I would like to learn how to create my own custom ROM. Any reference you have on the topic would be great. I have successfully built my own kernel from source and have made a guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1516051

Now I would like to build my own custom ROM. I noticed that when I downloaded the kernel source code from Samsung it also included the platform source code. I have read somewhere that I wouldn't be able to compile the Stock ROM just because a lot of the stuff is proprietary (like touchwiz). If this is the case, how are developers including the proprietary stuff?

Is it possible to build stock ROM from source?

Are custom ROMs more about tweaking existing configurations and apps, as oppose to compiling from scratch?

Thanks for helping a noob. I really want to learn the stuff.

Hello

I don't claim to be an expert in these but I would like to share my experience in modding my AT&T Galaxy S2. My Galaxy had Android 2.3.4 on it to start.

Root first : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1285894. I used the List 3 way even though I was on 2.3.4 (Odin3 One-Click Downloader )

Installed CM7 by http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II_(AT&T):_Full_Update_Guide. I used the Method via Recovery method to flash the ROM. My Wi-Fi Hotspot feature didn't work after this. So I had to hunt for a fix.

Installed Siyah Kernel : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1263838 Installed 2.6.12 and used the CWM Recovery method.

Since the latest stable release CM7 has been renamed as experimental ( or release candidate ), I used Karl_Marx's nightly build to https://s3.amazonaws.com/cyanogenmodbuild.s3.mortimer.me.uk/index.html to flash the https://s3.amazonaws.com/cyanogenmo...yanogenMod-7-02152012-NIGHTLY-Galaxys2ATT.zip. Everything is good now.

I hope this helps somebody. This instructions are valid as of Feb 26, 2012.

I was unable to make this post on the main ROM thread due to not having enough posts so that's why it's going here.

I'm currently running the 7.4 speed ROM version of Sky-Ics on my Skyrocket. The ROM comes with the battery bar mod which is quite awesome, it also has some sort of battery meter that's surrounded by a circle. (not sure what this is called, possibly honey comb or digital circle battery mod)

I'm curious if anyone here knows how to remove this circle battery icon/mod so I can solely use the battery bar mod at the top?

I will say that the screen is far less scratch resistant than my old HD2 which didn't need a screen protector, whereas this one definitely does. Corning's gorilla (Gerald) obviously had a bad day when he made the glass for my phone.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] redpoint73:
You should be able to flash clockwork, then a custom ROM through fastboot without downgrade and root.

Haven't done it myself, but that is my understanding of how the unlocked bootloader works versus real S-Off.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aranzou:
I managed to do this hardware unlock and now have an unlocked bootloader. Tried. To flash cwm and corrupted the recovery. How do you install CWM through fastboot?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] CCallahan:
You have get CWM recovery, go into fastboot, connect USB, and then install via command prompt.

If you are unaware of how to do this try installing recovery via Rom Manager. Might be your easier solution.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] aranzou:
Thanks for the reply, I actually downloaded cwm from a post in the dev section. Flashed it through command line with fastboot and now when I boot from recovery the device is stuck on a white HTC screen.

Also tried to use Rom manager but the device has to be rooted first. Can you root it through fastboot without cwm? Can I get a download link for a working cwm?

Maybe the downloaded file corrupted?

Hey everyone. I've been trying to get better battery life out of my INC2 with CM7.2 and Aeroevan's kernel. The display of course, its the main reason why the battery life suffers. I like the automatic display brightness option because it is convenient, but sometimes it just doesn't behave the way I like it. Right now, with the current settings, it behaves ideally but I wish it was literally a couple of notches dimmer in every situation. Here they are:

Light Sensor Filter

-----------------

Enabled

Window Length: 10 seconds

Reset Threshold: 800 lux

Sample Interval: 1 second

Light Levels

-----------

Use Custom

Screen Dim Level: 20 (default)

Edit Other Levels: All of these values are their respective defaults

Allow Light Decrease

Decrease hysteresis: 40%

So guys, using automatic brightness....how can I do what I'm trying to do? (Literally make it dimmer at every "level")? I didn't edit the values/options that looked in-depth, while some of them I just took some tips online.

Hey Guys,

I'm new to the Nexus, I just got it today. Had a HTC Sensation before.

I LOVE this phone! It's amazing! Everything is just so perfect! The one thing which bothers me is the Camera. Which I do use, a lot! Even my Sensation didn't have a nice camera itself but I remember my super old K850i! It used to take such crisp shots!

Any way to improve the shooter's performance?

:)

You could decompile the camera and look for some delay or speed values in the code?

I will do so when I have time.

Please don't install it via cwm! :D. An apk is nothing more than a normal zip file with a special folder structure/contained files (you already posted the contained files :) ).

Yesterday my phone was having wierd reception issues.

I could not send/recieve sms', access the internet, no 3G at all. However i could still recieve calls.

I restarted the phone, still nothing. I checked teh APNs etc.

Everything was fine in terms of settings.

After having issues with OD 4.0.15 previously i decided to do a full wipe and re flash the rom. Turns out i only had OD 4.0.4 on my phone since i was using the online updater.

After formatting and flashing the phone with OD 4.0.4 i was able to recieve sms' and make calls but the phone seemed to be unresponsive and slow.

At that time i thought i would try and download a different ROM. I downloaded LeeDroid 2.1, did a full wipe and flashed the ROM. Now sms' and calls work, however the 3G is flakey.

The symptoms i am experiencing are:

Cannot download anything from Market. Can browse the market but cannot download anything. It just hangs at "starting download"

On first boot when setting up gmail account it will not connect. I have to check teh APNs then set it up again and it works.

Please throw some ideas at me as i have no idea what to do now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] coretech:
So something new I noticed yesterday. I seemed to have misplaced my blueant q bluetooth so while I search for it I decided to use my car's radio Bluetooth interface. I paired it with my car's radio and made and answered a few calls. I made a few stops and when I started my car back up my note connected to the bluetooth fine and immediately started to redial.:confused: I thought it was just a fluke the first time it happened but then I noticed it happening on five other stops. I ended up turning off the bluetooth on the note to keep me from hanging up on my friends.

Anyone else experience this? I've searched for a fix but I haven't seen any just others (mostly with plantronics headsets) have the same issue.

Weird
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] foxbat121:
Normally, if you double tap BT headset button, all phones will start redial last number. Sounds like your car radio may have sent out double tap command by error. Does it happen with your Bluant headset? If not, you have your car's radio to blame, not Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] coretech:
I'm still looking for my blueant... I think it was moved "somewhere safe" during a recent spring cleaning and now I forgot where that safe spot was. :) Yeah I don't think it's the note that has a problem but it is weird that not of my other phones redial when they connect only seems to be with the note.

I'm going to try some more diag testing tomorrow.
