Not if you read the post, it says:

"Basically this is just "jermaine151_9.4.2.15.zip" repackaged with "9.4.2.21 " updates and motley kernel, have fun!"

.15 is just base I used...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] FunkyMcBain:
Hmm, ok so it's the .15 base with .21 patches applied instead of being a full .21 standalone is that right?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ryun33:
No its 9.4.2.21 a revision of 9.4.2.15 call it what u want...

So I've been running this ROM for two days now, and I'm glad to be back on stock for now:D

Even though it runs absolutely great, I wanted to replace my build prop with the custom one for our Prime. Luckily I reviewed the 2 first, because I noticed that the build prop on this ROM is WW version. I live and bought my Prime in the US, so I downloaded the US build prop version. That would have caused problems. I had no idea this was a ww firmware ROM.

hi,just in time i have buy shift evo on the internet on my local country site (im from indonesia)

its cost 190USdollar .but when i start using this phone,i realize that half of button on hardware keyboard didnt working( q,w,e,r,t,y,p,g,and delete didnt working )..

the seller said that this is a new handphone,but im afraid i was deceived and i assume this is a refurbished phone but im not sure because the is no clue on the box

any other people now how to distinguish that a cellphone is refurbished or not?

[HTC Sensation] Zombie Steve Jobs:
Hey guys,

I just received my Sensation 4G a few days ago, as a warranty replacement for my HTC G2. I have enjoyed the phone, but now I want a little better performance. I am currently rooted(perma) with S-OFF. (used Revolutionary). Stock 2.3.4 ROM

I have removed the TMO crap (mall, apps, telenav, teeter, Slacker, Qik, etc). I downloaded ROOT Browser from the market, went to SYSTEM/APP and selected Lookout, then Delete. Same process I did for every other app/bloatware I removed. But Lookout is still showing in my app drawer. Any ideas on what im missing?

Thanks everyone
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Hmmm I have yet to see this added on my phone or a Rom idk
[HTC Sensation] Zombie Steve Jobs:
Turns out some of the app icons are still in my drawer. Nova is gone , but slacker is still there. Weird
[HTC Sensation] craven667:
Maybe your phone was reset vs ruu at HTC or wherever they refreb them
[HTC Sensation] Zombie Steve Jobs:
It came brand new. In box, sealed, headphones etc etc. Very very unlikely its a refurb.

Not sure why some bloat deletes and some doesn't
[HTC Sensation] Kohr-Ah:
Check out /data/app and see if it is in there too

[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
I suggest using RootExplorer or ES File Explorer (in root mode). Go to the top level directory (where you see /System, /Data, /SDCard, etc and touch the search button. Type lookout and see what the search comes up with. It should help you find it.
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
If 'Lookout' Had been granted Device Administrator then it cannot be uninstalled from the phone until this option is unchecked. Or a factory reset in recovery.

This could maybe be the issue ??
[HTC Sensation] Zombie Steve Jobs:
Lookout did not have administrator privilege.

I restored a backup of my original software. So everything is back to stock (rooted w/ S-Off).

So how can I remove bloat WITHOUT using a BAT or adb commands ?

I assume I can use RootExplorer , go to /System/App and select said bloatware and then select Uninstall.

Is there an official list of safe bloatware to remove? (Nova,teeter,tmo mall,qik, etc etc)

Many thanks !
[HTC Sensation] Zombie Steve Jobs:
Bump
[HTC Sensation] Azothyran:
I would suggest using a custom ROM like Android Revolution HD...they already removed the bloatware in their ROMs and stripped it down to just essentials. It is still using the Sense framework too, so you know it has good compatibility with your device...otherwise, copy down the list of files in your /system/app directory, post it here, and I will tell you what you can safely get rid of.

Just remember that, if you decide to flash the android 4/ICS version of Android Revolution, you MUST have SuperCID and flashed updated ICS firmware or it will NOT boot
[HTC Sensation] azzledazzle:
You could try ROM cleaner it's in the themes and apps section.
[HTC Sensation] Zombie Steve Jobs:
Thanks guy's, I guess I will just use ROMcleaner. I'm not flashing any custom ROMs until the official TMO ics update comes out.

Thanks again

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djquick:
just try a few different ones. If you get a bad signal or dropped calls in a certain area; it's because of the area, not your radio. You can use 10 different radios and it wouldn't make a difference.

SystemUI, probably just got some updates. Have you tried adding your .pngs to the new systemui.apk? Still no go?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
I was running the blue soft keys and now when I put them back in sytem/app I get force closes and the entire nav bar disappears. Any ideas? I really hate the skinned look Asus puts on them. Thanks in advance.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Wipeout:
Swiftks hit the nail on the head, there were some changes to the SystemUI that breaks older versions. (I know, captain obvious over here) Give the developer of the theme a chance to update the PNG files, or do it yourself. I ran into the same problem yesterday and copying the PNG files I wanted into the new SystemUI.apk fixed it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
I'm not sure how to do that. The nav keys I was using are just stock ICS blue. If you or anyone happens to have a link to some I could use with the updated files that would be fandamntastic. I can't seem to find the thread where I downloaded them from. I know they were on XDA but I've been searching since yesterday. Thanks again
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Swiftks:
Make sure to copy to correct folder, and select "store" for the compression method, that way they are not compressed.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] predictablyerratic:
Yes, I am putting the file in system/app and the file is not compressed. I've done this with each of the updates and now it doesn't work. I was thinking it may be because Asus added the lock function to the nav bar. Once again if anyone has another file they could point me too that would be awesome. I can't find the thread that I got my ICS blue buttons from.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIIMJRIII:
hi everybody!

all the steps below were taken from galaxys2root.com as well as the files

i have i9100 with a stock rom 2.3.4 (ki4) (and 1.4gb of free memory-maybe that was the problem).

yesterday i rooted it (everything was fine) and then i installed CWM recovery 4.0.1.4 through odin v1.85 (went fine too) and then on my way to find myself a new rom i decided to backup my current one with cwm. then i entered cwm by pressing vol-down+pwr+home and hit "backup". it backed up the system and then moved on to the data and thats where it got stuck for like an hour.... from the guide i understood that it shouldnt take more than 10 min- 15 min top so i figured that im having a problem, i tuned off the phone by pressing pwr button and turn it back on, then the phone got stuck on the sgs2 screen with the triangle so i turned it off again----> this time it didnt came back on, and not responding to download mode neither to polling battery out or not even by connecting to usb and charger- just dead!

how is it possible? and what should i do to bring it back to life? (and myself)

thank you very much(please help...:confused:), and sorry for the long text and the bad english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattcfk:
do you have usb jig with you?

i assume you brick your phone.

read my thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1402286 carefully. anyway, usb jig will not harm your device
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No download mode = try jig. Jig doesn't work = JTAG repair by 3rd party repairer (cheaper option) or JTAG repair my Samsung (more expensive option).

thank you,

no dont have one but i ordered from ebay.

is there a chance that my battery died and as a result of the two my phone wont respond?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Possible but highly unlikely. I guess you might as well try a new battery, at worst you'll have a spare when you get the phone repaired.

Fairly common problem go to forum xx download something and follow the instructions dont work go to a totally different forum and ask why ???

My guess would be wrong instructions/firmware .

The other question to ask is it a i9100 or a different version .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIIMJRIII:
i really hope thats the problem, im going to a friend now to try with his battry.

but really how is it possible that my phone is bricked when i didnt even try to flash a new rom, and more than that it happened in the backup process when all the cwm does is a copy operation... so what really had happened?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIIMJRIII:
to be honest i was too lazy to search here (which im not going to be now)

thats what he was doing in the video (it did went in cwm)

any other ideas??? (except usb jig and jtag)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Jig <=1% chance of getting you into download mode, JTAG = 100% chance of fixing it. Other options = 0.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattcfk:
I should say jog = 50% chances of getting into download mode. JTAG is more like a solution for hard brick(totally unresponsive, bootloader totally mess up, brain system totally corrupted).

Base on my understanding, getting yourself a hard brick is harder than finding a needle in a haystack. If you go through zedomax(galaxys2root.com owner), he mentioned that he flashed all his android device countless time. All he got is just a couple of soft brick. Never a hard brick. Don't waste your money first. Invest on a cheap usb jig which only cost around 2 dollar, compare to JTAG services which cost 50 dollar.

If usb jig doesn't work, try to go for warranty , see whether they charge you or not. If warranty doesn't cover you and cost less than 50 dollar to repair, go for it.

Only go for JTAG if every effort above don't work.

Warning: JTAG is just a service that reinject Samsung firmware into your device. If your phone has hardware failure, I don't think they can help. Unless they provide hardware repair now. If you wanna be sure, email or call them up to see if they provide hardware repair/replace as well, just in case it is a hardware failure cases.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IIIMJRIII:
i know its a very rare situation but it happened. I've tried the jig and it didnt work, then i decided to send it back to the store and they told me they have sent it to the manufacturer, now im waiting...

The galaxy note has an official/genuine samsung flip case, which basically replaces the back cover, and has a leather cover for the front face. It's super thin, and very sleek.

EDIT to add: before you ask (and I'm sure you would have), no, there is nothing you can do to fix this. The phone lacks the necessary antenna hardware to receive one of the frequencies T-mobile USA requires for high speed mobile data.

Also, I live in the US, and I'm on ATT, and I've NEVER been able to get Kies to update my phone. I've just used Odin to flash firmwares myself.

Yes, you need drivers. But a question. In Odin, when you plug the phone in while on download mode, does the COM box light up yellow? If so, then you already had drivers. If not, then yes, install Kies for the drivers. But make sure Kies is not running at the same time Odin is. They don't play well together.

Also, make sure the usb cable is plugged into a main board port, and not a hub or keyboard pass through.
