Instead of convincing him, which can be a pain since he's hardcore Apple products, do yourself a favor by getting a Samsung Galaxy S2.

Hop on the SGS2 xda forum and switch ROMs weekly.

That's way he will see your new Android phone, new look, new launcher, cool features, 'til he gets envy and jumps ship :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
There's nothing envious about that.

Don't try to convince hi because he may regret it and be pissed that you talked him into it. The iphone has a ton of games for ppl his age. Also he doesn't have to suffer the lag android has that will irritate him. Also the post in this thread are dumb because a jailbroken iphone does everything a rooted android does except for custom roms. I do find both apple and android fans don't know crap about the others platform and just spread false info.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
You make good sense but regarding jailbroken iphones doing all a rooted android can do I'm sure that must be wrong.

For example on a non rooted android you can change launcher completely, have full automation using apps like tasker (eg when I'm at home turn wifi on but when at cinema go silent, auto answer calls and when films finished book me a taxi etc).

You can also change keyboard completely for example, use widgets, put toggle switches in notification bar and so on. I know at least the tasker type automation isn't possible as that's an ios restriction that stops that so at least one thing I can do on stock android a jb iphone can't.

Don't waste your time. Do you really want to support his device should he end up getting an Android? Tell him to go through all the guides/rooting/flashing if he doesn't like stock?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex2792:
Just let your bro get the iPhone, he might hate you for convincing him to get an Android after it starts locking up, randomly rebooting and draining battery like crazy. Your brother might also enjoy timely software updates and well design apps with consistent UI.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THUDUK:
To be honest, I have been back and forth from Iphone 4 to Samsung Galaxy s2 over the last few months.

The ability to change, customise and tweak everything on Android has its pro's and cons. fun but takes over your life, especially when you get into Rom flashing, I swapped my SGS2 a few weeks back for another Iphone 4, I thought I had managed to quell my addiction to Android...Alas nope, I am returning yet again, OK things run along all well and good on the iOs not too many hiccups, all nice and dandy, dandy andnnnnzzzzzzzz zzzzz arrrghhh I woke up, yes the Iphone can become a little tedious to say the least.

I think iOs is brilliant on the IPAD, Android Pads just don't come close in my opinion, but for the phones there is such an amazing choice and the SGS2 is similar in style to the Iphone. There just is not a community like this one for the Iphone except for trawling through the Itunes clunky market...Androids market you can faff about on anywhere on any computer and it syncs directly to your phone, even if you dont have it with you...Google is better synced with Android and facebook on Android is far better with many more options, twitter notifications work on Android, rarely do on iOs and to top it all of Scramble has just been released for Android yesterday, so there are no more excuses:)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistermentality:
Do you actually have an android phone? Mine does none of that other than use battery quick which is lg's fault for putting a crap battery on a powerful phone.

Hi,

I am using Sandvold's ICS ROM for HTC Desire. The browser isn't any good so I found this post on how to enable Chrome beta: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22936668&postcount=13

Trouble is how to edit this file (/system/build.prop) on the phone?

I could transfer it off and put it back, but would be easier just to edit using terminal or another simple text editor. I noticed "Vi" is there, but it is way too cryptic for me. "Nano" is also installed, but it comes with an error message when I try to run it.

How to make nano work, or is there some other text editor people can recommend for this purpose?

Mons
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
What file explorer do you use? With a file explorer which can get root rights (e.g. Root Explorer or ES File Explorer), you could edit that file with their inbuild text-editors.
[Desire General] nsalvador:
HI,

did you try vim or vi ?

It works on BCM.

vim /system/build.prop

i --> to edit the file

ESC --> to exit edit mode

:q! --> to exit vim without save

:wq --> to save and exit vim
[Desire General] monsm:
Hi,

Managed to change it in the end, so I can run chrome now.

I installed ES File Explorer, very nice app, but found that the file system was mounted read-only. Only way around it that I found was to use the adb tool from my desktop. Pull the build.prop, modify it on the desktop and push it back.

Chrome is sluggish though, no better then the built in browser on ICS, so not sure the exercise was worth much. Although I did find a lot of other settings in that build.prop file.

Mons
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
You can mount /system as writable in ES File Explorer's settings.
[Desire General] monsm:
I missed that setting. At least I know for next time.

Cheers,

Mons

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riverriz:
I recently flashed the resurrection ROM. I then accidentally froze my music app through Titanium Backup, whilst usb debugging was disabled.

Is there any way i can defrost it? I have tried many different ways but no luck. I don't wana have to re-flash the ROM.

This is what I've tried so far.

* normal defrost

* advanced defrosting through titanium backup settings

* deleting the app through root explorer and reinstalling the app

* installing an alternative defroster from the market

* Backing up with titanium backup and then restoring with titanium backup

After everything the app is still frozen.

Any help appreciated. Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
That wouldnt be an ICS ROM by any chance would it because thats a bug that ICS ROMs are having with Titanium.As far as Im aware its still an unfixed bug.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riverriz:
Yup ICS. It's probably a bug with freezing and defrosting itself otherwise the other app would have worked..

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
I thought it sounded like ICS.Thats one of the bugs that still cant seem to be fixed at the moment.Its a pain in the butt too when you choose something by accident but at the moment I havent heard of anyone able to come up with some kind of work around to sort it out till the official release.

EDIT: Why dont you copy/paste it to your internalSD with root explorer then delete it with Titanium and then with root explorer copy/paste it to System/app folder again so it gets reinstalled as a system app.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riverriz:
Did that, didn't work... Doesn't matter now though.. I re-flashed :/. Just busy in setting everything up again now.

Thanks, i was not aware of this bug. my luck i didn't Freeze any important app. ill stick to my ROM and wait for the official ICS release.

thanks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Agent_Adodas:
Just a quick update if it helps someone.

if you froze an app and cant defrost it, you can open Titanium backup, click the frozen app and choose "Uninstall", now you can install the app again and it will work ok.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
Mine still gets reinstalled frozen.I have to back it up before uninstalling so it gets reinstalled frozen.

Sorry, Im with OP on this one. I tried to root my photon 2 weeks ago and it was a mess (sorry BBKing).

1. In video, I could not see actual links and had to go find them.

3. Had to get Shabby and DeedScreen to bail me out.

I have rooted 200+ windows phones, these videos were a mess IMO!

Anyway, yes his videos may be dated but they help alot of people. I just watched the video first then went for the files. Yeah, I had to look for a couple, but it wasn't hard to find them. Then I watched a second time as I did it, just pause when needed and it's easy (was for me anyway).

On SPB Shell 3.5.5 build 10087 for some weird reason the weather icons for 'current conditions' have messed up since 1st March 2012.

The MOON is being shown during the day, and the SUN is shown during the night. I am guessing its due to 2012 being a leap year.

- Is this an issue for everyone or is that a local issue on my device?

- Anyone have a quick fix for it?

Device: HTC Touch 2 (Mega)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vladimirus:
Yep, same here. But, then, Spb Weather has long been screwed up, imo. My phone time says 1:16 but Spb Weather time says 11:53. Generally, for me, Spb weather doesn't show night icons untill a good 3 or 4 hours after dark! And as far as I know, there is no way to correct either the time settings or the icons shown. If the problem is a weather feed issue, then perhaps Spb will fix it. But, if it's software based and in Spb itself, then I think we're stuck with it since Spb has discontinued this program for windows mobile.

Bottom line, imo, Spb Weather has always been one of the crappiest weather programs made for a fee. There are far better fee based programs: Elecont Weather (still available for purchase through Elecont and now for only $3!) and SBSH Weather v. 2.3.1 RC8 - build 8145 (sadly, discontinued but perhaps still available here and there if you look for it and also a bit more complicated to configure but very worth it, imo); And some very nicely done, free programs such as Weather Watcher Mobile (available here if you're interested in checking it out: http://www.singerscreations.com/Weather-Watcher-Mobile.asp ).

However, none of these are "live" or Spb interactive programs! You can only use them as you would any other program with a shortcut icon, unfortunately. Hope this hepls answer your question.

Hi, i want try to build a rom, or, better: i want to modify an existing rom.

does anyone know what kind of language i should know?? java?? c??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasjarMan:
I got the phone yesterday. It was unlocked and I was using it with t-mobile.

I was able to root it fine. Than I tried to ODIN SkyrocketCWMrecovery. It did not work, so I tried to start the phone. But it said "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in kies &try again"

So I download all the files needed and I put the phone in download mode. But I keep getting all kind of errors like "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)" and each time I try I get a different error!

I have used ODIN many times but this is the first time I have had so many issues.

Could it be because it was unlocked that Im having these issues?

I have tried different usb ports, started the pc and phone, I mean I have tried everything I found on the web.

But I know one of you have the answer and hope you can help.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] silver03wrx:
was rep-partition checked in odin when you first tried?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasjarMan:
No it was not checked. And ODIN never completed yet the phone went into the "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue......."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasjarMan:
still not working so will try a different pc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kr3w1337:
Are you able to get into stock recovery mode? If yes then try formatting the phone from there and then try download mode again, also, download the drivers again for the phone on your computer.

First though, try another computer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
Can you do adb still? If you can you might be able to copy over the recovery.img manually.

Hook up to computer and try adb devices from whatever screen you can get it to boot to that's not download mode. If it comes back with an attached device try running adb shell and then su. If the prompt changes from $ to # you're good. Lmk.

Edit: for future reference being unlocked has no influence on flashing anything. And why were you odin'ing CWM when you can just flash the T989 one from Rom Manager?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasjarMan:
Ok, here's what happened an hour ago that should help you guys to help me out.

I took the phone to a guy that advertised in craigslist. 40 minutes later his got the phone running. BUT, get this, I turned it on and ALL my apps contacts super user(old version) I mean EVERYTHING that was there before i flashed was there.

Its as if he was able to figure out how to get out of the window that has a phone and yellow triangle with exclamation mark in the middle and to the right a monitor. You know the window that says " FIRMWARE UPGRADE ENCOUNTERED AN ISSUE...."

Because once it started everything was just as I had it. I didnt even login to my gmail account because everthing was there.

He charged me 40.00 to restart my phone pretty much. He was suppose to root and flash to newest super user so I can install roms and he didn't even do that. The old super user was still there.

SO, I get home and I want to flash AGAIN the latest super user so I use odin 1.8 and it fails. I said forget it and remove the battery and now im back to the SAME WINDOW AGAIN! I am not going back to pay him 40.00 to restart my phone.

What do you guys think he did? How did he get out that window? I know my phone has everything intact I just need to get out of the screen I mentioned above.

Btw, I'm not able to do anything with adb because it wont find any device since its in that wind...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
My guess is you have driver errors..try another computer first and foremost.

What file are you flashing for root? You don't need to Odin anything to root or put clockwork mod on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasjarMan:
I'm used the file SkyrocketCWMrecovery.tar. But it failed. so I turned the phone back on and now its stuck on that window. I will try another pc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
On your computer screen in Odin is there a com port showing up? If there is you can flash the stock recovery image from there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasjarMan:
Yes there is, can you point to the stock recovery? And is there a certain odin version I should use. The guy i mentioned had in his monitor that the top of the odin window said EPIC 4G. The one I'm using says ANDROID+SLP.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JasjarMan:
I found the recover file but when i flash i get :

<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jamesd86:
You should be using Odin 1.85, i just found it on google..search for Odin 1.85 and an xda attachment should be one of the first links. D/l that and extract it..only thing is get rid of the .pit file that comes bundled with it, you don't need it.

Ok, i put Odin 1.85 on this post, and here's the link to Stock Recovery d/l them and then verify that you are in download mode and that your phone is being recognized by odin.

place the .tar file in the pda section in odin and hit start. It should flash no problem..if it doesn't you have driver error or you don't have a Skyrocket. :)
