you can try nightly build i have 13 Dec and i don't have any problems
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrNiick:
I agree, go to cyanogemmod site and use a stable version

;)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike102871:
Thank for the info. Not real familiar with the defy. Going to give the 7.1 a try and see if she gets mad. LOL
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labsin:
Better take latest one from here. It are the builds of Epsylon. He's the (one of) the guy's who push everything to the official nightly's. Latest stable one is old and the latest one's are even more stable :)
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fodderp:
Labsin is telling the best route. I have epsylon3's cm9 rom installed. His builds are great!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike102871:
Going to be giving this a shot tonight.

Ok installed the latest nightly and there is no market app. Installed market from on line and it will not work. Now what. Ill have to restore backup if not a solution immediatly. Wife is not happy.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MainCourse:
I have the fix for you:

Download the GAPPS for the ROM you use,

will probably be on the same thread.

Flash it in CMW!

Hey presto, working everything!

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] sidekick_fanatic:
So last night, I was trying move the dalvik cache to my ext2 partition. I am on a custom rom, b2tb. while trying to move dalvik, I did something wrong and it seriously screwed up my phone. I had a backup, but when i tried to restore it, i got an md5sum mismatch. I had two choices: odin, or wipe data/factory reset. not wanting to deal with going all the way back to stock, root, install cwm recovery, flash again, all that, i chose to wipe data through recovery mode. it fixed whatever i screwed up, but now when i reboot, my phone doesnt connect to data right away, and i get a message saying process com.android.phone has stopped working. i force close it and then it connects, but then it usually force closes again. i think its because my apn isnt connecting right away, and also think my apn settings could somehow be stored on my sd card, because it wont stay connected until after it says media scanning completed in the notification bar. i could be wrong about where my apn settings are being stored, but im still having problems with my internet connection not working right away on reboot. if i cant fix this, im gonna have to reflash b2tb and i dont want to do that. please help.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epoch555:
Ive been digging through threads for 2 days and I cannot figure out why I cannot get into clockworkmod recovery. Im trying to flash for the first time (ICSSGS RC4), but cant get past the first step.

i896 running stock 2.3.3, rooted

Installed ROM manager from market

flashed clockworkmod (i9000 is the closest match to my phone from the list), twice.

accepted superuser permission

rebooted into recovery, but keep getting stock recovery menu.

What am I doing wrong? is it because I cant choose i896 in ROM manager when I flash clockworkmod?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
Rom manager hasent supported captivate since 2.1, that is why ever since we build cwm into custom kernels.

read the sticky in the Q&A section entitled how to flash custom roms from stock (including gingerbread)

I wrote it months ago. it is stickied at the top of the page for a reason. to be easy to find.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
OK so I'm playing gun bros on my Prime and its doing ALOT of freezing. But I can play it on my Galaxy Note and Galaxy Skyrocket it runs flawlessly.........

...... how is it that this beast of a quad core is struggling with a game that both my dual core phones seem to run effortlessly.

Anyone else experiencing this???
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Gage_Hero:
Just a stupid question but are you running in performance mode? I know the benchmark double from saver to performance....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
no matter what mode I'm running it does this......it is what it is. But I'm really curious as to why both my dual core phones can run this game hickup free but this quad core has to freeze for the first 2 minutes of starting. It kind of defeats the purpose to me. I mean thise thing is fast in all other areas.......
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
This is beyond frustrating watching my son play on a single core Samsung infuse and the game running smoother than the Prime. Its just a game I know. But this should be able to handle it. I'm at a loss for words.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mrokeefe:
Uninstall (lame I know) ...reinstall

Modded by MBOK
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
i have tried that. when i went back to stock. it didnt help. im hoping that someone who has the game installed can verify or deny that this is happening on there device. i have overclocked. switched roms. changed scaling. this dumb stupid that this tablit cant handle this simple game but boast about that stupid glow ball game that utilizes all four cores.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] comosc:
Game runs fine for me. No freezing during gameplay.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
Found the problem is when I'm using wifi. If I turn it off the game runs just fine. So that's a relief to me. Thanks for the info y'all. I knew it had to be something I was missing. Game runs fine now.

Case closed
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] pileot:
i know you said case closed but....

why would wifi cause it to lag? do you have other things using wifi while your palying? the tablet SHOULD have the capibility to deal with wireless AND games at the same time....

Try using tasker, you can make a profile to turn off wifi, then open the game, and when gun bros is closed it can turn wifi back on again :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] the2rrell:
nope nothing else using wifi. I have no idea as to why it is doing that. I will try the profile method here in a bit.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Hasan10:
Don't know if this will help but try turning on force gpu mode from developer settings in settings . I know this option has helped me with a lot of apps that haven't been made fully compatible with Tegra devices.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] AdenosineTriPhosphate:
I also have freezing problems when I leave wifi on when I was playing the game Eternity Warriors, which is by the same publisher and has the same gameplay and features. My guess is that it's related to their facebook "friends" feature as the freezing gets especially bad when there are too many facebook friends that are playing the same game.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yoursexyhero:
I actually cant even get the game to play. For some reason the moment i start it and it loads its been FC on me. It use to work with no problems but after the constant recent updates it no longer plays. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and still no go. Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] yoursexyhero:
Can anyone help figure out why I can't get this game to work.
[HTC Rezound] psykotikz:
Sooo I went back about 5 pages in here and haven't seen anything but then again I'm a noob so don't kill me if this is a repost.

I got the extended battery in this bad boy and I dunno why but once while running it popped out of my pocket on to the concrete (only had the phone 2 days and was pissed)

And today the weight of the phone was actually pulling down my pants "/.

I never used an armband or any type of holster with my X. So I have no experience with this matter.

Anyone have something they use with the extended battery?
[HTC Rezound] tjarvis:
Armpocket XTREME i-30

That is what I use, fits rezound with extended battery with oem holster case still on. So I pull it off the belt clip and slide it in the armpocket. Good fit and comfortable, just wash it often because it soaks up pit sweat.
[HTC Rezound] johnwaynegacy:
use duct tape as the armband and wear a belt.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Hey all,

I've created this thread to gather all the info and doubts about UART JIG (also so <I> don't pollute OpenFIMG's thread :rolleyes:).

Readings of interest:

Fun with resistors

Setup in a Nexus S (with pictures)

UART / Serial / JTAG

Odd serial port on Spica (samdroid)

Galaxy S UART JIG & Debugging connector

Developing methods to recover bricks without JTAG

Kernel serial console on i9100

UART Output / Bootloader Hacking / Kernel debugging

Configuration:

Vcc (Pin 1) -> Disconnected.

D- (Pin 2) -> RXD.

D+ (Pin 3) -> TXD.

ID (Pin 4) -> Connected to GND with 523k ohm attached.

GND (Pin 5) -> GND

Baud rate: 115200, 8N1. No control flow.

Boot from the SBL:

SBL>loadkernel
SBL>loadmodem
SBL>boot

How to get output from kernel.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
You're right. So here it is.

I don't see why my level converter wouldn't work, since it supports the right voltage, baud rate, etc.

mmm, some weird idea: what's you're bootloader version? (I mean from which release). I'm thinking maybe the bootloader version is my problem? (since I have Samsungs latest installed) :confused:
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
I don't know the exact version as it was already on the phone as I got it. The only thing saying a bit about the version is its output:

Built for apollo rev02 by root on Oct 27 2010 17:10:33

Have you tried different baud rates? Common ones other than 115200 are 9600 and 38400.

Also this thread would become a bit more informative if all the posts on this topic would get moved here from OpenFIMG thread.

EDIT: Also make sure that ground signal is properly connected, otherwise the converter might not recognize voltage levels correctly. What's exactly your connection layout? I have only 4 lines wired to the microUSB connector, RX, TX, GND and ID with VCC left unconnected.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
mmm.. I have JPU, so my bootloader is at least from 2011..

Tried with those 3. With 9600 and 38400 I don't get anything, when with 115200 I get the "?" character.

I'll contact a mod and see what can be done.

Double checked my GND connection and is ok. My layout is the following:

VCC -> 3.3v

Tx & Rx with their corresponding pins.

ID connected to GND with 523k ohm in between

and GND connected to GND.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
Could you try without VCC connected?

I really don't think that Samsung would disable bootloader console used in service centers for phone diagnostics...
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Exact same result.

With GND disconected also same result.

If Tx is disconnected there's no output (obviously). So a badly soldered/connected Pin2 can be discarded.

Checked Rx too, So a badly soldered/connected Pin3 can be discarded as well..

You must be right..

Edit: I changed pin2 & pin3 (now Pin2 is to Rx and Pin3 to Tx). Also connected GND (but left vcc disconnected as you) and got it working :D

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] PersianSphinx:
So what good is this that you are doing? Benefits etc.

And are we meant to be doing something similar to make phone work better?

Sent from the Persian Sphinx's private Galaxy
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
With this, we can get into the SBL console, get information about kernel panics (not yet) and this will help us debug kernel ports, drivers ports, etc.

And no. This would be useless for a normal user. Unless that (s)he wants to make a Download JIG (to get into download mode without having to use the three-button combo). In that case, a different resistor value (301k) is needed (and no level converter, of cource :p)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] OrrPenn18:
@PersianSphinx

This wud resurrect a hard bricked phone...this JTAG thing
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
This is not JTAG.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Urmas1:
This is common fault people are doing - phone Rxd must be connected to converter Txd and vice versa. ;)
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
Yep, on Spica setenv SWITCH_SEL 3 is enough. According to SBL sources, bit 0 selects USB switch mode and bit 1 selects UART swtich mode.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] unreal3000:
this is not jtag.... this is UART...this gives us info on what went wrong when the phone dosnt boot up properly when devs are testing new things.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Arakmar:
I just received my level converter and it's working fine, I can get SBL logs.

But how to access the SBL prompt ?

I tried with some key combinaison but nothing work :/
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Right after you connect the jig, hit and hold enter. After a few secs you'll see "SBL>" :p

Is there any supplier of this in the U.S.?

Thanks,

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] hillbeast:
Don't know if it has already been said, but when Samsung say 'press any key to stop', what they really mean to say is 'press enter to stop' because pressing space tells it to keep going.

Seriously Samsung, learn English. Enter =/= any key.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] andreapier:
Can someon suggest a micro USB type B connector on ebay or similar e-shop site?

I cannot find anything! This seems quite weird to me!

Also, it would be great if the connector doesn't need to be soldered (so with pins to be used with female-female or female-male jumpers) so that it can be used for other projects too.

Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
Something like this?

I just bought the pin without the board, cheaper but harder to solder. And I improved my soldering skills a lot :p
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] Arakmar:
In addition to the micro usb breakout board, I recommand you to buy a breadboard with some jumper wires. So that, the only part you have to sold is 4 jumper wires onto the breakout board. And you can reuse it later for other uses.

Respect :D

I broke the microUSB connector when I tried to do that.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] andreapier:
Yes, this could do the work for me i think!

Thanks a lot!

I already have a breadboard, anyway thank for the interest and the kind suggestion.

[Galaxy 3 Android Development] andreapier:
Hi again,

today i started my weeks off from job so i had little time to build the usb-ttl uart jig.

Even if i think i made all the necessary things i cannot see anything coming out from my phone...

As soon as i connect the jig the phone turns on automatically so i think the circuitry should be ok.

I didn't try on linux because it is not currently installed in my laptop but i'm using a good windows utility called HDD Free Serial Monitor which i used also while experimenting with Arduino... i can get correct serial output with Arduino so i'd exclude software problems...

Maybe i have to recompile a kernel to enable serial output? I think this should not be needed from what i read here...

Can anyone help me please?
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] moikop:
There's nothing? Not even a weird character?

What about the baud rate configuration? checked that?

You should see the SBL output at least...

BTW, when on Windows, I use Hyperterminal for UART.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] tom3q:
Is your ID resistor correct (measured on a multimeter with resistance measurement)? It should be in one of these ranges: 143K-157K, 507K-549K (recommended), 588K-650K.

Btw. I can recommend PuTTY.as a good terminal client for Windows, most people use it for SSH, but it supports serial ports as well.
[Galaxy 3 Android Development] andreapier:
Baud rate is 115200. I tried almost all configuration of parity, stop bit and flux control with that baud rate but with no success.

With the client you suggested (and also with Putty) i get only a "Y" with 2 points at the top (i don't know how to code that speficic charatcer here but you understand right?).

Good finding on Putty, i never noticed that it supports serial communication. I'm gonna use this from now on!

However the resistor is a 523K, I didn't check with a multimeter but i bought it just some days ago so it should be right until the shop made a mistake (it is highly not likely though)...

Maybe i should post a sample of my circuit? Tomorrow i'll do it.

Thanks to both!

EDIT: It works. I double and triple checked the circuit and it was right so i tested breadboard lines and jumpers. The Jig was not working because of a broken jumper that i didn't notice at first.

Well, i guess i can try some cool things now. I'll experiment with kernel 3.4.x port maybe.

Again, thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wfujay:
So i just installed this rom and now i have red dots over certain icons in my apps screens. Pics below for clarification:

Any idea how to get rid of these? I've seriously tried everything that i can think of to no avail. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
Did you use Foxhound for i900 by mistake?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Seriously...

Open app drawer then go to settings and remove the "dots" which are to show running apps.

Also that is TW 4.5 if you search for it you will see the features/bugs etc for it.

???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wfujay:
You seem annoyed by my question. I apologize for owning my Android for all of 3 weeks and not being an expert on a rom that I just installed last night and not knowing every bug for TW 4.5. I'm sure every Android user that has used TW, including yourself, has made sure to read the bug lists fully before they interact each specific version, and I apologize for not doing that.

My complete lack of knowledge on all things Android is utterly embarrassing as I'm quite sure you had everything down pat after 3 weeks. It makes me feel bad that you had to waste all of 2 minutes of your time to type that suggestion, that actually ended up working. I'm very sorry sir, but thank you for the solution. I will try to improve my Android excellence over the coming years so you will never have to "Seriously..." answer a question on these boards again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
actually. it is an expectation that you read The entire OP before flashing anything or asking questions about it. Because most of the time your answer is already in the OP. and to start a new thread about something that is already answered elsewhere or right in front of your face is kind of ridiculous and creates clutter. If you don't want to read a little before flashing something you shouldn't flash anything at all. This is just some advice so that you can have a good experience around here on XDA. :D

Cool things to do.

READ, READ, READ, READ A LITTLE MORE, FLASH, HAVE FUN!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] wfujay:
I did read everything on the page of the rom that I flashed and saw absolutely nothing on the subject of red dots appearing over app icons. I also used TW with my stock rom for a couple of days and the dots never appeared either. I also did a forum search for "red dots" and "red dots over icons" as well as numerous google searches and nothing came up.

Honestly if answers to everything on this forum are supposed to be so simple to find (they aren't) and right in your face (they aren't)...then what is the point of this Q&A forum when the veteran members are just going to act annoyed and you're going to get told to "read the threads" (something I already did).

I can't even post in the rom thread since I'm a new member so this was my only option. I guess I will just apologize again for being an Android noob and apparently an XDA forum noob as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Miami_Son:
You can't post in Dev because you need at least 10 posts to do so, something a little reading would have told you and can be easily fixed by posting in the Off Topic forum to get your post count up. Everyone in here is a volunteer and this is not the Help Desk. No one owes you anything, so before you continue sounding like an entitled punk I suggest you count yourself lucky to have gotten the right answer and just move on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SeanHacker:
well your attitude sounds pretty horrible in that response considering i was only trying to help you. weird. i wasn't even rude. but on to my point now. you said you searched. NO YOU DIDN'T!!! i typed in exactly what you said you searched and this is what i found!!!! LEARN TO READ AND QUIT BEING RUDE BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO HELP YOU!!!
[Motorola Photon 4G] Evilsj:
Hey guys, I've got a hopefully simple question. I'm gonna be going to Vegas soon, and I'm running on an ICS rom, but I want to be able to use the good camera and my 4G for while I'm there. However, I don't want to have to set everything back up once I come back one by one since I'll only be gone for 4 days.

So can I do a Nandroid backup, save the file, re-lock my phone and put it back to root, then once I come back unlock my phone and then restore said backup so everything will be the way it was? Sorry if this is a mouthful, but that would be my ideal way of doing things. If not, are there some good alternatives?

Thanks guys!
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
As far as I can tell, that should work. Just make sure you remove your custom recovery before you relock.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ski21:
brain what do you mean by "custom recovery before you relock" how do you do that?
[Motorola Photon 4G] pkomarnicki:
If you have cwm installed and you try to relock it, your phone won't boot (iirc). If you sbf back to stock, it will reinstall the Android stock recovery and relock your phone, and you'll be all set. Otherwise, you'll have to find the Android recovery somewhere to download, then use Fastboot to install it, then relock (and to be honest, I can't remember how to do that. I think I remember people having problems flashing the relock file.) Easiest is to sbf after making your backup, then when you get home, unlock again, flash cwm, and restore your nandroid.

Hope that made sense.

And if you sbf and your phone bootloops, boot into the stock recovery and factory reset.
