make sure you have a 'break' i.e press enter after the last line in the menu.lst, i forgot this and it wouldnt boot but after adding it all was fine
[Gen8 General] CalcProgrammer1:
The line break must be a UNIX-format line break (yes, there's a difference!). If you use Notepad/Wordpad in Windows it probably won't work. Load it up in gedit or any other program that lets you select the line break format or just use a Linux machine (though on Linux there are programs that allow you to do DOS-format break just as you can do UNIX breaks on Windows). If all else fails, start over or just temporarily rename your old image and new image accordingly.

Ok testing to edit it in Unix mode of Notepad++ dosnt work :(

then use Ubuntu and gedit dosnt work :(

So I have a request can someone have it working can upload his Menu.lst pls

... booting looks fine, but can't unlock ...

Hi all,

realy facinating to ICS on the 101IT ;-), but i couldn't get it further than the locking screen :-(.

I'm running kernel and initrd from the latest openAOS release (Bull) from 2012.04.09.

When i touch the panel, i see a blue circle, moving my finger moves this blue circle ... but not the unlock icon ...

Ciao

Kurt

ICS Running on 101IT 8g.

No bluecircle pointer. A lot of app crash. Unable to set a wallpaper but a live one.

Most parameters are unreachable but using widgets you can get in, that seem's that it's changing category wich crash. I have been able to turn language as French this way.

I may activate debuging if I know how to use it, and if logs can be usefull to anyone.

Great work !

Kurt did you try to move the unlock icon ? sorry if I misunderstand, but else, you have to move the blue circle on the unlock icon.

Is there a third part battery that has like 1500mah or something like that? I for now have thoose fake gold 2400mah which is more or less like the standard that came with the phone but i want something better but it seems they all are fake, even the nexus one 1600mah is BS, its max 1000 mah or something..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Oxicottin:
Hello, I'm planing on buying the USA AT&T Galaxy Note today and I

wasn't

planing on rooting or altering this phone at all. My question is am I able to install apps from my PC to the Note? I know on my rooted captivate there is an option called "Unknown Sources" under security that allows me to do this and the Note comes with Gingerbread 2.3.6 so is that option available on a

all stock

Galaxy Note phone? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] trentthompson:
Yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RadDudeTommy:
It is an option on every android device. That's why android is considered open and ios closed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] blitzer320:
reason he asks is because at&t has a history of disabling this feature on their android phones. My inspire when i first bought it did not allow unknown sources but after an update later that year at&t added it back. I believe at&t is now allowing unknown sources on all their android devices from now on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] wish777:
yes,you can manage opening your mass storage and transfer files to and from cpu....one good thing of all androids there not restricted ......that's why I'm not a apple fan......the darkside (android) is the way to go.....:thumbup:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Talderon:
As blitzer stated, you have this option of "Unknow Sources". Consumers and some 3rd party markets (Amazon Apps) strong armed AT&T into adding this back due to reduced sales due to this feature not being offered. Many, MANY complaints!!

[Motorola Droid RAZR] prakhargr8:
Hi, I have a non-rooted RAZR XT910 (OTA Updated just a few days back to 65.1.40.XT910.AsiaRetail.en.03).

I absolutely love this phone and am eagerly waiting for some functional ICS goodness but I have been facing some issues with high consumption of data.

I have Onavo installed to monitor data usage (Installed it a little too late, relying on my service provider's text notifications).

The two most data hungry applications in the "App Watch" section are "Android OS + others" & the official Facebook application.

Three days in to my billing cycle, "Android OS + others" has already hit 51.7 MB and Facebook is up to 19.4 MB. I haven't opened the Facebook application even once in the last week, so whatever data it has pulled is background data. My OTA updates are allowed only over WiFi. And I have also disabled the "Back up my data" option, under Privacy > Settings but that doesn't seem to have helped much, if at all. Neither did the OTA update.

Before Onavo reset the data usage meter for the new billing cycle, "Android OS + others" had used about 150 MB of data in a week and Facebook about 40 MB.

Can anyone help me out here? I need to reduce this phantom data usage. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] usrname:
I have that too. I'm running rooted 167.19. first I suspected the gallery app with its motocast service so I freezed this app for one day, but it didn't helped. every now and then these few app processes (which are sadly only listed in one package so I don't exactly know which one causes the traffic) upload about 2mb somewhere. sometimes they also upload 2x 2mb, pause for some time and then there is an other upload of 2mb a few hours later. i'm monitoring traffic with droidstats and checking my consumed traffic online from my providers website.

I installed driodwall for blocking android-os service and these others from up- and downloading via 3g, just allowing wifi. this was also before the update with 651.73.30. full wipe already done - does not help ... still testing if blocking helps
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prakhargr8:
This sucks but good to know I'm not the only one facing this problem with the RAZR.

I did start looking at other forums and seems like the problem is not only with the RAZR. There are other handsets which face a similar issue. Let us hope we get some insight into this problem.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] usrname:
i read about that defy users experience this high consumption too.

since I blocked android-OS (and all of these other processes in this package) from 3G network my traffic for today for corporate mail + 2x imap idle accounts + weather update is about 800KB. yesterday I had about 15MB for doing the same - nothing.

that helps for now but I still don't know which process exactly uploads so much stuff ... and why..
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prakhargr8:
Just an update. Things still the same. VERY heavy data usage. Facebook is upto a 100MB even though I barely ever open the application now. Android OS + Others is around 200 Megs too. 300MB of my monthly 500MB data allowed is gone. Just like that. Any suggestions anyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] eldhothomas:
That could be traffic originating from outside. Try connecting to another network and see if you see the same behavior.

With my Android, when I connect to my home WiFi network, "OS Services" take up about 2kb an hour while idle. But, when I connect to my work WiFi network, it takes up about 2mb every hour while idle. I am pretty sure my work network is doing a lot of snooping (in the name of security).
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ali87va:
Facebook is understandable though don't ya think? It syncs all your contacts and birthdays and thongs of that nature.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] DrSadistic:
Of which nature are said thongs... Autocorrect for the win!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] kraayj:
Solutions?

No solutions or updates so far? Same problem here: Sony Xperia S, Android 2.3.7 (Build .75), 500MB dataplan and the OS takes 300 of that! I already took some precautions like turning of the backup, I've logged out of Facebook and removed my Hotmail app. And I installed JuiceDefender Plus which handles my connections, but no results whatsoever: Android OS still uses 5-10MB/day...

Any help would be very, very welcome.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] xXxTehxXx:
Find the option for "Sync over wifi only" inside of settings, that should save a bunch. I've never had that problem, infact I have the opposite issue. I use maybe 100MB of my 500MB plan. Sometimes I even TRY to use up my data for the month and fail. I use the Facebook app maybe 10 times a month, most of my data goes towards sports scores, twitter, and reddit. As for the Android OS, the bloatware included on the phone are considered part of the "Android OS" so it's not really the OS using all the data. Open up the task manager and set all the bloatware to auto-end, might help a bit
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mothmansound:
Just posted in another thread about this. I some how used 25 megabytes on the way to and from work today with the phone in my pocket. 15 minutes each way.

Also accumulated about 280 "free" minutes this weekend between my wife and I. I thought weekends were free. Well I know they are supposed to.

Back to sprint and slow unlimited data as apposed to fast data that's going to break the bank. Just as I was starting to like the phone.

Call them tonight to tell them I was switching. Glad I'm withiny fourteen days.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] prakhargr8:
Hey, didn't notice the replies till now. But do you have any task managers auto ending apps?

That was what caused high data consumption in my case. A self starting task when killed, may restart itself and it's data consumption process from 0.

Once I disabled that, data consumption fell to normal ranges. Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
[Defy General] gkkovacs:
I bought my Defy last year, running Android 2.1. Phone was fine, but a bit laggy.

Couple months later Android 2.2 came. Phone became faster, but a lot more laggy, especially the (inbuilt Moto) launcher. If I started many apps, it became sluggish.

Later I overclocked / undervolted with SetVsel to 1 GHz and even to 1.2 GHz, apps became faster but launcher still laggy.

I even turned on "Set vm.min_free_kbytes=4096", no solution.

A month ago I flashed MS2Ginger 3.0 that's Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Phone is faster and better all around, but the Moto launcher is still lagging, more so if many apps are running.

Anyone know how to solve this problem, which I'm sure is memory management related?

I want to keep using the Moto launcher(because of the excellent Calendar and SMS widgets).
[Defy General] spangelsaregreat:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zaptor99:
Why is Samsung Apps (the store) removed from custom ROMS, for instance, sky ICE? They offer some good apps sometimes, and also offer sale/discounts. Is there a way to install it back?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
u can get all those apps from market. I think you're the first person I've seen who actually wants it.

You can extract the apks from stock image but you may lose the advanced integration since its been removed from the settings menu in sky ics.

You can also try mhx-superlite, which is stock and has the market still, but has a lot of other bloat removed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] zaptor99:
Ok thanks. Like I said, sometimes they offer good deals, last month they had Asphalt 6 free. Also, they have Voice talk (vlingo but customized) specifically for Galaxy 2, among other things.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanMooneWodash:
Greetings XDA,

Lets say a Galaxy S II was rooted and then deleted some files from the system and edited some others. Then that Galaxy S II started malfunctioning and be useless.

How can you remove rooting and everything get back to original [ meaning like never rooted or edited files ] ?

Don't get upset i am a noob indeed and maybe annoying but i am a lawyer and i only play with papers. I gave this colleague of me my phone because he wanted to "see" something, at least that's what he said, and i went to the meeting, then he ran to find me and told me he messed it a little bit.

Can it be restored?

Will flashing firmware unroot the device and restore files back to stock?

Thanks anyone who answers or even view the thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcadam:
Find your original firmware in intratechs thread and flash it through odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
You're sparse with info, like most lawyers..

If you can boot into download mode, do so and flash a stock ROM via Odin. System files will be restored but you'll lose root. If that goes well then you can re-root

Then you should boot your colleague in testicle mode.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanMooneWodash:
My colleague still tries to find info on internet on how to restore it and keeps saying how sorry he is. Why do i need to reroot? I don't want to be rooted.

Does it need to be rooted? Because he rooted it i never wanted that.

Will doing so bring up all manipulated files?

A lawyer doesn't lie, just manipulates truth and info:)

I can't seem to log on to Samfirmware at the moment, don't know why, so I can't check the available firmwares or your link.

Is there a BOKK1 firmware for Cosmote there? If so, that's the one you want.

If not, is your phone locked to Cosmote?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
No, if it's working after flashing leave the kernel alone. Follow the guide up to but not incluing the "quick root guide" part.

You*ll then have the phone "back to normal".

As you said, you're new to this, and you don't need to be thinking about changing kernels or rooting yet. If you want to one day, read, read and read again as much as you can before even thinking about trying it. The links in my sig will help.

Just a kick in the balls for your colleague and you're finished:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IanMooneWodash:
The

stock kernels

are to be used to

restore the kernel version after rooting

and are not needed for updating the firmware.

You do not need to root or unroot the device to update the firmware.

Please ensure that KIES is closed and not running in the system tray! Kies doesn't like Odin, it's like the big brother who's always jealous that his little brother is getting to flash all the phones so he starts to flash block.

This is a part of the procedure...where is the kernel:S
