Thank you for the answer. But what is the best whey that you can suggest?

Can you suggest a good custom kernel, if I unlock bootloader?

And what is the best whey if I haw a locked bootloader?

What are benefits and downsides of unlocking bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] akshay13071990:
DO this:

Flash a fresh .58 or .42 firmware using FlashTool

Root it using DooMlorDs Easy Rooting Kit version 4

Connect to a WiFi or a stable 3G and update via Update Center App on your phone

Done!

or you can try this:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517222

for me rage kernel is best kernel..

pros of unlock bootloader:

you can install custom kernel.. and custom rom..can make your phone faster..

cons of unlock bootloader:

you will void your garrenty

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobeus1:
So it might be a bit premature to celebrate but I believe ive found a much a simpler way to get your evo ( or any other CDMA phone) on boost. *this worked for me and would like to know if anyone else could try this to confirm it works as im out of phones.

what you need: Boost Donor phone. (not activated, new or Used)

htc evo, droid etc etc with alterations already performed( cant discuss what I mean by this but search google)

step 1) and this is the only step!!!! instead of activating your donor phone and getting NAM and nv files and aaa , keys and all that other garbage, just activate your EVO. once you activate it the keys and all other info is automatically sent to the evo upon hands free activation.

Thats it!

My guess is when new account is made keys etc are generated from meid and sent 1 time and 1 time only. as-long as its a "boost" phone it will automatically update all files.

again this has worked for me on my fiances phone and took about 10 mins once alterations were made to her evo.

Would others please try this to confirm it wasnt a fluke.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngchris29:
I did a similar method. I didn't have too much money to spend on this whole process (I'm a college student). So what I did was I found a site that did the flashing remotely but they charged like $65 and I wasn't going to pay that much. But they also sold meids from boost incognito's separately for 10bucks. So I bought one and they emailed it to me within a few minutes along with a guide to get the evo to do an ota update for calls text and data. Basically, after getting the meids switched, the phone did an ota update and I've got everything working great. Only thing I did differently from you is that I activated the donor on boost's site before the whole process.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean_L:
I had a TP2 on Boost for quite a while. Used it for my donor phone and all was well. But after a few probs with error 16 Sprint made me well aware my HTC device was not a Boost device. Well I got a clean Incog activated on the same account the Incog is a dead phone, I activated the EVO. Only prob so far I can't get data. Voice and text work but a constant error 67 is all I get without being able to get the NV items and Nams I think the idea is dead because the EVO will not update the profile. I'd be interested in what the word is on forcing an OTA update.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngchris29:
I've gotta find the instructions I have...check your pm in a min
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dean_L:
Well thanks for the info. I will try it one day, but not now. I found out the Incog was OK just bad battery. New battery arrived this morning and I was able to get all needed items from the Incog. I do think the OPs procedure will work though.

Please post questions like this into the general section. Really the rules of the development section are very clear. The development section is for releases. Not for questions. Sorry for sounding like an ass but I'm sick of people doing this.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
well, developers should support their roms. if im looking for support for a rom that was released in this section, this is where i should look. sorry if your offended - oh wait, really im not.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
i figured it out anyway. before flashing, i took a backup of my stock rom. i had my system partition set up exactly the way i wanted before the flash anyway, so i booted into cwm recovery and went to backup and restore>advanced restore, selected the backup of my previous rom, and selected restore system. i will be posting more details about this in the general section.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
...so basically by restoring system, you just erased your custom ROM.

doesnt matter anymore. im not on b2tb anymore. im on kd1 firmware with the bali kernel, so i have voodoo and all that. care less about custom roms, just want voodoo. happy so far with kd1.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] WolfV2:
All of the ROMs I've used have been capable of, or came with voodoo...

Like... Glorious Overdose V2... Which is on KJ2...

Afaik- if you already have voodoo and the kernel/modem you want, you can switch ROMs (as long as they are on the same kernel/modem) and voodoo persists. In my experience this is how it's been.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LvnInOC:
Hello,

So while out shopping tonight I went to turn on my Nexus and it kind of lagged to respond, I tried to unlock it by sliding the lock and it wouldn't, its just froze, no matter where or what I touched on the screen nothing happened. So I pulled the battery, let it reboot and again the screen is non responsive. My phone is rooted running the AOKP rom, Build 26 , Franco Kernel 18.6 overclocked to 1350 on performance, I didn't adjust the voltage settings and left them as default but to set on boot. Also I have tried to reflash the rom, system wipe, wiped everything I could and it boots up but the touch screen doesnt respond, I cant click on anything!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Strange, If I tweek the phone a bit by kind of twisting the actual frame a bit i can use the screen as long as its twisted a little.

I'm running the CM9 beta 0.2.0 by jokersax11 ([Ics] cm9 beta with camera CDMA/GSM/UMTS/HSDPA/WCDMA/roaming 2/22/12) and my capacitive touch buttons at the bottom of the screen*(Menu, Home, Back and Search) are not lighting up at all! I can't figure it out at all and I really need these buttons to light up, due to my recent switch from the LG Optimus S, and before that I had an AT&T HTC Inspire 4g (which have the home and menu buttons reversed). I use my phone alot at night and I desperately need to get this fixed! Is there something in the CM9 settings I'm overlooking? Or is there an app or mod that I could use to get control of them and get them working again? PLEASE HELP! I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE ANY ADVICE OR ANY INFO ON HOW TO GET THESE BUTTONS TO LIGHT UP AGAIN! This is really frustrating!

Click the link below for the answer ....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1526616

EDIT - Well that was fun. If you haven't figured it out, the link above goes to the other thread you started, with the same title, and the same body, in the same forum .... You should not create duplicate threads. For future reference best practice is create 1 thread and wait a minimum of 24 hours between bumps.

With that out of the way my actual advice is as follows, i dont believe the capacitive buttons are an issue with jokers CM build although i dont personally use it. This would indicate the answer lies in a) something you did b) something you didnt do c) something you installed

1. You can eliminate a and b without losing any info by going into your custom recovery and wiping cache and dalvik cache then doing a dirty flash on the rom (dirty flash = don't wipe data/factory). In this case there would be no reason to reflash gapps.

2. If that doesn't work, do a full wipe (data factory/system/dalvik) and reflash the ROM, then gapps. Be slow to in stall your apps and test the capicitive buttons frequently to ensure you haven't done anything to break them
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
I was hoping someone could quickly explain these settings for me as I'm not 100% sure of their purpose and I can't find a definition on these exact settings anywhere on here on the net at all! (can only find pulse notifications which is easy and not applicable here)

So two things: in a program like NSTOOLS there is CMLED section and has LED timeout and typically the default is around 1600 seconds..can be 0 to 1800...what exactly does this do and relate to?

and the other is a setting on some rom specific settings and under LED settings has Pulse ON duration and Pulse OFF duration. my default is .5 seconds for ON and 9 seconds for OFF...both have range of 0 to 10 seconds...once again what exactly does this do?

if someone could explain, that would be greatly appreciated! thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Those are for led notifications...the captivate does not have one...superfluous settings are not uncommon from ported roms..

Remember none of the ics roms are actually captivate firmware.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
led timeout means after how much time led will go off after touching 1600 means 1.6 second 1800 means 1.8 second and zero means no led

Edit:- zero means led remains on for unlimited time​

led notification means when device receive notification then led light will blink for the given time it should be set as 2 second for on and 1 second for off for real blinking
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electech13:
Thanks again Studacris.. I knew this phone does have or can use led notifications but wasn't sure if these other settings applied to that or not...now I known.thanks. and the led timeout setting was explained beautifully in other reply...so got it

Hi guys!

My hungarian colleague's made an interview with Ken Hong, communication director of the LG about the slow upgrades of the Android phones.

The interview was made at the LG. From Mobile World Congress 2012, Barcelona.

The full (17:50 min) interview located here: http://soundcloud.com/mobilarena/interview-with-ken-hong

its an interesting conversation :rolleyes:
[LG Optimus 2x] mind_challenge:
What I understand, they're already testing ICS for some phone, don't know which. Also he is mostly blaming operators for everything.
[LG Optimus 2x] Zorkman:
thanks a lot for sharing this

Since your colleagues got a nice long interview with them, couldn't they ask him something else?

He basically says that one of the most difficult things preventing them from having quick updates is that they don't have enough good developers (due to heavy competition from Samsung in Korea).

Could they as a follow-up not ask him about disclosing the necessary sources to Ricardo Cerqueira e.g., using a NDA if necessary ?

He will share his work and they will benefit from it...

He seems like an understanding guy, so maybe he will be open to suggestions?

I have been enjoying sgs experience for quite a long time now( I still do) but as device is slowly aging I think its time to upgrade. I'm currently waiting for release of sgs3. What do you suggest, is it worth waiting for it or its better to go and buy galaxy nexus or sgs2? Are there more devices worth buying right now?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DragonriderX:
Personally I would wait for the S3 then do some comparisons between phones from different vendors.

One good site to make some comparisons is gsmarena.com , they generally have good reviews and very in depth information about the phone's hardware and specifications too :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronka:
Just wait for the S3, I heard that it will have a quad core cpu, so it will beat the S2 and all predecessors for sure :)

gsmarena is also a great site, personally I use it everytime I am looking for something about phones ;) they are great!

galaxy S is still a great phone, if it's slow then you can do a hard reset, maybe it helps with something, and by installing a "simple" rom you can also achieve more performance!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Syrex-OL:
I think it's to soon decide.

U need to know if the phone will be common and then decide cuz probably Samsung will stop developing versions for it and then you depend on the community (look for example Galaxy s 9000 and ICS).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gaspernemec:
However I'm not getting new phone because sgs is slow or things like that.....and yea I decided, I'm gonna get sgs3, ty both :D
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuctifino:
There is nothing to suggest that the S3 will not be a popular phone.

Unless Samsung make a complete **** up with it, it will be as popular as the SGS and SII.

All the phone manufacturers will at some point stop ROM development at some point with a phone.

Go talk to owners of other Android phones and you will find many are not happy with their device not having ICS support.

There is no reason why the SII won't be able to support the next version of Android (and beyond) and the same will apply to the S3.

If Samsung do carry on support the phones then great but if they give up after a 2 year cycle on a product, I can see their point.

OP, my contract is up for renewal in July and depending on the reviews of the S3 (I think they will be good), providing I can get one for a nominal upgrade free, I'll get one otherwise I'll get an S2.
