[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Litatus:
hi everybody, I don't know if this has been alredy asked, but I couldn't find it...

I had the android 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini... I've just got installed the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1...

Well the thing is, this rom has a different contacts app...

In my 2.3.4, my stock contacts app, had the option no syncronize with facebook, without having the facebook for android app installed... This way I had all the pictures, the phone numbers, even the last post on the wall of ever one of my facebook friends right below the picture...

All this things I don't have it in this new contacts app on the rom...

Can anyone help me to get the stock contacts apps from de 2.3.4, or at least, one that have the option to sync with facebook...

thanks in advance...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] felipevsw:
Just install Facebook for Android and let the sync begins...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] dheeraj (dhlalit11):
Samsung gives syncaccountfb.apk preinstalled which let the device add Facebook contacts on device and do many Facebook tasks I will upload the required app if anybody wants
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] Litatus:
Yes, please, I do want the apk you're talking about... I don't want to install the facebook app, I just want to sync my contacts like I used to...

Just switched to the Saurom, but the Bubble live wallpaper isn't there. I downloaded the original image, but still trying to figure out how to get the apk out of it.

I'm hoping someone can post the apk file faster then it takes me to figure out how to get it from the original image.

Thanks!

I switched from iPhone to Android last August and have been running UnNamed ever since. I love the android. I had wanted to re-flash it with a ICS ROM, but can't find many screenshots of how each rom looks like.

I noticed that the kernel was released for ICS 4.0.3 and lots of ROMS now have this in it.

Can any of you that have tried more than one of these roms comment on which rom you think is better? I'm not sure how to tell the roms apart from each other yet :/

I found and am deciding b/w these: SHOstockv2 ICS, CM9 (Not actual 4.0.3 ICS?), and Phone-Bricker.

I'm looking for a cool-looking ROM with lots of features. Those are my only requirements really when I look for roms.

Thanks guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] :
Hi. We're not going to do vs. threads on new roms that have just come out or have been here for awhile.

Every phone is slightly different and what works great for you may not for the next person. The best bet is for everyone toy the roms for themselves and see what works best for them.

The reason we dont have these vs. threads is because it can very easily (and has in the past) turned into flame wars... because when one person says "I didnt like so-and-sos rom so I moved to this rom" its inadvertently putting down the work of that dev and his rom. It may not be intentional, but it happens. So to avoid that, we just dont do it.

Before ICS I would use the popular WiFi Tether app, using a Device-Profile of "Samsung Galaxy S" and Setup-Method "Netd (master)" and it worked perfectly with no errors. Now on ICS with the same settings and build it starts up, but with an error. Almost everything in the log has a successful green "done" status, the only thing that failed is "activating wifi interface".

Any ideas?

Definitely curious about billing, as I have unlimited data on AT&T. Had people been using that hack on GB ever have any problems with tethering plans being forced? I did it, but only tried tethering once for 5 minutes as a proof of concept.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] theHOTNESS:
well in my experience att hasnt said anything about my tethering. most of it was done on cm7 but some on stock. without any fiddling i have gotten a few errors when enabling tethering that said that my plan doesnt cover it and to call att to enable it on my plan.

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 AM ----------

give this a shot

Remove/freeze the 3 wifi apps (possibly optional, they murder battery so i always off them)

DO NOT REMOVE "TetheringProvision" you see here, settings will crash

Launch "ultracfg" app from ur launcher (its in the ics leak from odin1click)

Select "Tethering Always On"

Go enable tethering in settings. If you succeed youll see this:

NOTE: when you see this hit the home button to skip it (it hangs)

re-enter wifi tethering settings, you should be greeted with:

hit ur menu button to configure...

configure dem settings and BAM!

if you failed at the above instructions or something went wrong youll see...

PS. sorry for the slideshow, its just so much easier to explain this way...

NOTE: theres probably a better way to do this but this, but until then, this was the easiest way that actually sticks and works well. enjoy!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Lucidmike:
It Works!

I had my doubts following the steps but I'm glad I went through it. When I opened up UltraCfg for the first time, it said I already had Tethering always on. But I followed the steps to select it. After I selected it, it said to reboot, and I did.

And when I rebooted and enabled the hotspot, it didn't crash! I was getting that spinning thing, so I hit the home button, and the wifi tethering came on. But I was not done...

I had to go to "Manage allowed list" then I had to add the MAC (aka Network Address) of my Wifi Network adapter of the device connecting to this phone. For me, it was the MAC address for the Wifi Adapter on my laptop. I put it in with dashes, and caps. Not sure if lower case works, but you need the dashes. For example if you put "0012AA3366C8" it will reject it. But when you put "00-12-AA-33-66-C8" it will accept it. After that, it works like a charm. The home button is kinda annoying. Sweet!!

Note: I did not freeze any of the wifi apps in the first step.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] yvrRome:
Thanks theHOTNESS! Couldn't figure out why wifi tethering wasn't working for me before.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Blairware:
I did this without doing the reboot, and it worked like a charm. One minor issue was when the instructions say to "Hot Ur Menu" and configure, well that's true, but you need to select the Portable WiFi Hotspot again (The same section you use to turn WiFi Hotspot, but just tape the words on left not the slide switch.) THEN hit menu. I was stuck here for a min.

One comical site note: The ROM, which sure looks like an official one has a funny typo in here. It says "Mange Allowed List" Either thats italian, and we have to eat the list (for security purposes) or its English and the list has caught some horrible desease. Just KEEP you Mangy allowed list away from MY allowed list. Oh! FiFi... Stay AWAY from that MANGY allowed list! BRUT! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] edgex:
My phone says tethering not supported when i click enable wifi hotspot then does the hang thing. going to home and then back its just disabled. but never says to contact AT&T

EDIT: Scratch that, reboot fixes and it seems to work. typing this on my laptop while connected to my phone.

Okay so basically, Enable in UltraCFG. Restart. Enable via settings or 14 toggle mod if youre using this (prevents the need for hitting home) and it seems to work. I unfroze the apps you mentioned and restarted and am connected writing this right now. Can anyone else test and confirm this is all that is neccissary?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droid512:
Asside from disable, reenable then reboot then select from 14 mod is there anything that needs to be frozen.. Also id like to wait till some of you guys get your bill

Anybody have any other ideas of what to freeze/change? I guess AT&T is on to us.

Grab one of the older ICS leaks like UCALC4 and pull ultracfg out of it. The older versions don't check for eng mode, etc.

How to Enable Tethering on Official ICS

First, thank you cschmitt and Phatboyj420

**On GB you would simply freeze "Tethering Manager" using TiBu. This app no longer exists in ICS. DO

NOT

FREEZE the confusingly similarly named "TetheringProvision" that you see in ICS!!!!!** Bad things will happen.

1. Download Ultracfg http://hive11.com/android/ics/bloat/UltraCfg.apk

**Don't "install" **

2. Using root explorer, copy and paste file into system/app directory. Scroll down and change permissions to match the other .apk files.

It should be rw-r--r--

I also noticed an ultracfg.odex file with a date of June 23. Backup a copy of this file to your sd card (just in case), then delete it from system/app

3. Reboot, then open UltraCfg and select "Tethering Always On"

4. It will prompt you to reboot again.

5. Go to Tethering in the Settings menu, enable without the "verifying" crap!

Someone said you can update the telephony.db, but most references are about using a phone on a different carrier. So until I find what the settings should be for AT&T, I'll stick with this method for now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] beaups:
For the telephony db. Both files, carriers, and carrier cache, all lines with the word "entitlement" on them, change the apn from broadband to pta. Reboot and native tethering will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netarc:
Thanks, this was useful - was able to use this stepbystep to replace teh stock UltraCfg with the mod (?) version, and then following your instructions and with two reboots was able to successfully activeate the SG2's 'portable wifi hotspot' and connect a laptop to said SSID.

The laptop obtained an IP address (192.168.43.x) and could ping the phone (at 192.168.43.1) ... but could *not* access anything beyond that, i.e., no internet connection. Neither pinging google.com by name nor IP address was successful.

fwiw, I did confirm that the client laptop was in the 'allowed devices' list on the phone, and the phone confirmed the laptop was connected.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DJ_21:
I was having the same issue until I set market unlocker back to default. After I did that, tethering worked perfectly. I hope that helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netarc:
Thanks ... I don't have an app called market unlocker installed, though :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] netomel:

I think you need to install nautilus-gksu first before installing apk for you open folders as root/administrator.

3. sudo cp /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-2.0/libnautilus-gksu.so /usr/lib/nautilus/extensions-3.0/

Sounds like some trouble with the filesystem or data corruption on your card.

Try using a linux host and run some file system checks.

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkromhout:
I noticed this too. Apparently all firmwares after the very first release of ICS (So, not including that one) have this bug. Archos is not only aware of it, but apparently is said to have fixed it with the latest test firmware according to what an archos employee said over at archosfans forums. I'm about to install the test firmware to try it, and I'll report back in a bit.

Update: I can confirm that the permissions for the SD card have been fixed in the 4.0.6 TEST firmware. Which means all apps can now read AND write to the SD card again.
