I am on the GB rom, I tried the ICS rom but didn't care for it too much, was too buggy for my tastes at this point. Gonna give it a month or 2 to work out the bugs and might try it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Texas_Ace:
Ok, bumping this back up for another question. Been using the MHX rom/faux kernel for awhile now and love the setup.

I did notice an issue today though. I don't use GPS much and today I was playing it it and noticed that it would hardly lock on at all much less in the 5-10 seconds it used to take. Accuracy is also a lot worse.

I seem to remember reading something somewhere about an update people were installing that helped with this but can not find hide nor hair of it now. Any tips?

Dear friend! How on earth is arabic not fully supported in ICS! It is fully supported while all previous versions weren't!

I use arabic everyday and it works just perfect!

Sent from another Galaxy S2 using XDA Premium App
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mybeshoo:
Well lets start :)

1- if you open a Flash Player, and run any Arabic SWF file you will see all word backward and the letter are separated.

2- if you went to the Messages , and type an arabic message 2 or 3 lines , try to select any word , you will see the selector will jump around , you will be more than lucky if you can catch the word

2-(some times) if you type an arabic line , the typing indicator will remain ate the beginning of the line

3- if you open your contact list , in my case i have more than 1000 contact , it will take up to 10 sec to show the page !

4-if you decide to change your Arabic ICS font "ROOT is need" this change want affect the browser / Gmail / Google Reader.

My Mytouch4g slipped out of my pocket as I was getting in the car last night and landed on concrete. Although there is no physical damage to the exterior of the phone, the screen now looks like this. If anyone has had this happen to them, is it fixable and if so what part do I need to fix it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morgan5814:
Look up Iphonerepair and mytouch4g in google.

I would give you the link, but being a new member I'm not allowed yet =D

Looked around a little bit and they look like the cheapest place out there; some guys at work have also used them, so I don't think they're going to sit there and try to rip you off (IE try to not send back phone etc etc)

Sorry couldn't be more help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THEindian:
you need a new LCD bro. Have fun fixing that, just look it up on google, I m sure that there are plenty of videos on it
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NJC_430:
It's actually not as hard as it seems. First step is to buy the replacement. The second is to follow the videos online.

I just replaced a cracked glass on mine (the LCD was ok though). The tough part for you will be removing the unbroken glass and then putting it back on. Be careful not to heat the glass up too much and break your touch screen connector.

Another quick secret is that you can use a credit card to pop open your phone instead of those safe opener things people sell.

Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mimin0:
If your LCD is fine then replacing digitizer isn't really that difficult. I followed a guide I found on youtube and did it in about 15 minutes. No need for a special pliers like the other member mentioned, but you do need some precision screw drivers of different sizes.

I wouldn't worry about it. There full for testers. The point of SSH I believe. Is so they don't give the testers the files for s-off. So the testers can't make a thread saying here's the files. You know what I mean? Poorly worded I know. My apologies.

Done with unshielded paperclip. Only question:

You blokes who installed the modified HBOOT on offer, what's the difference between it and the ATT ICS 1.85 one?

Should I flash it? Should I not bother? If I do, how easy is it to go back?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
I just did this and installed the jb_hboot. Haven't noticed anything different, but have only been running for a few minutes. The title of the hboot is changed to Juopunutbear, but that's all I've found so far.

Was it a difficult process? I am worried about bricking my phone.

Do I need to flash the boot.img? What files should I have on my sd card? Done this wire trick so many times and I know alot of it is timing but I just feel like I'm missing something even though I'm following the instructions
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
Not at all. Connected the phone, ran control bear in admin mode, then did the wire trick when prompted on screen. I used some stripped copper wire, but people are reporting other things work as well. As for installing the hboot, at the end of the s-off procedure it asks if you want to install it, so i said yes and it did it all for me. All in all, it was a pretty painless procedure. I spent most of my time looking for the wire :P
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] valve timing:
S off second try stoked
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
According to the IRC, "hboot advantage is working fastboot commands write/erase".

Hmm, now when I try to fastboot flash boot boot.img, it terminates with a "remote: not allowed" error....
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
Try unlocking your bootloader with your unlock token.

I didn't install the included hboot, after getting s-off my bootloader was back to "locked" and not unlocked or re-locked. I was getting the same not allowed error so I just re-unlocked it with the unlock token and now fastboot flash works again.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
I see. I flashed the JB one for now, but I might revert to the stock one.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] MisterSchnapps:
S-OFF'd on the first try! great work to all those involved. Was a little skeptical about the "wire-trick" but didnt let it stop me.

thanks again!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] KCutrer1:
To be fair, in the directions they said use an SD card that you're comfortable having wiped
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] megatronisabeast:
They do mention the loss of data on their site before the directions under prerequisites. It says you may want to back up data using a spare sd card due to data loss.

I have s-off, and still htc unlocked

what and how are the best way to install ROMs now?

What's this CID stuff and what not?

Yeah, realized that after I posted, which is why I edited my post. . Never looked at the whole site. Just the page linked in OP.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] bproulx:
It's "super-cid" its like a skeleton key for ur carrier id, allowing the flashing of any ruu regardless of carrier.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] qberty:
Changing your CID to 11111111 from whatever it was will make your phone Carrier-less. Meaning you could install ANY RUU/ROM from ANY carrier to your phone.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:
im interested

someone shoot me more info if you have time

Thats a bug in v0.2 they are working out. If you don't have v0.1 just wait till they put out v0.3.

With v0.1 anyone know what the zip and img file are for? Does controlbear use them in the process or do I need to flash the img file or zip?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] come at me bro:

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] akafarmer:
SUCCESS on the first wire trick attempt!!!!

WWHHHUUZZZZZZZ UUUPPPPPPPPPP!!!!

I used a simple twist tie and just stripped at the ends.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
Is anyone having to run controlbear twice to get it to try for s-off? I'll run it once and it asks for the wire trick then it reboots and quits. Then I run it again and it tries for s-off and fails. I swear theres something wrong here but I have no clue.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] akafarmer:
You're not the first with this issue. Just remember, do not lift off the original PIN point when you make your first contact on the GND, simply lift your connection from the GND only and retouch...all the meanwhile, never lifting from the PIN location. Gotta have a steady hand. I practiced with no power or batter inserted just so I could get a feel for how I was going to accomplish the wire trick. Hope this helps, please hit Thanks button if it does
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquiett:
Agreed don't lift it off the pin. I also had an issue with my wire being too small at first and switched to a little bit larger and then was fine

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] citsong:
Finally after a million or so tries I managed to get it this morning. I updated my sdk incase something wasnt right there and I flashed the jb_boot.img to get it to work. Not sure if that was what actually did the trick but glad after trying for hours last night to finally have it.

Bell Raider, htcdev unlocked and rooted, running WC GB custom rom and wcxrecovery.

Worked on second try for me... Made sure I had good lighting and considered going to get a magnifying glass before starting though (warning to any other old timers out there...)

Tips:

1. Make sure you have an SD card in the slot, even though the still photo in the instructions does not.

2. You will need to htcdev unlock the unit again afterwards. If you don't still have your token, you can just go to the htcdev site and repeat the process again.

Question:

I have applied the Super CID. My question now is this: Can I just flash (for example) an AT&T RUU file to upgrade to ICS and then customize from there, or will that not work because I don't have the AT&T GB HBOOT?

Thanks!
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rprescott11:

fastboot reboot-bootloader

pause

fastboot getvar cid

pause
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] dizzyraider:
No, that is for if you want to carrier ID to Super CID, which will allow you to install RUU for other carriers other than the your stock.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] valve timing:
yeah i just changed my cid so hopefully we get some good roms coming out soon
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] slamming_sammy1:
just got s-off, but i had to do it like 20+ times. after about 15 -18 times (lost track by that time), i re-booted my laptop; after i rebooted, i'd say on about the 3rd try it worked. so people, might want to re-boot your pc before trying.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] qberty:
Won't work. Use the Cingular US RUU to upgrade to the AT&T GB HBOOT, then use the AT&T ICS RUU to get to ICS.

On the custom hboot do I still need to issue a fastboot command to get unlocked? I dont know a way to tell if I am locked or not?

no your unlocked, you will be able to flash roms. you can check by using something that requires root
