[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draak22:
Like people said; You're on a custom ROM, don't expect Kies to work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
Ok but I thought it is more or less enhanced stock ROM not completely customized.

Btw the main reason is I need to import contacts from HTC phone (vcf file) to my SGS2. I was going to try doing that in Kies.

Maybe anybody figured out how to do that in other way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Is your HTC phone an Android phone? Then on that phone, sync your contacts to your Google account. Then on your SGS2, do the same thing. Done.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
This is actually the case i would like to avoid sharing my contacts with google.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
You didn't stipulate that.

Then sync with an Exchange account if you have one. Or some other account. Or if you don't want to share your contacts with any account you have, use your SIM card.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
Ok so what about apps like New PC Studio? Ive installed it and also there i have problems to find my phone, is it the same because of using stock customised ROM?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sebalos:
Ok, i have played a little with my sgs2 and it figured out that it can recognise and import vcf files as well, the only case is to put such file directly on /sdcard/external_sd/ :-)

Now i will try to convert vcf file to xls file, edit it, convert back into vcf and import to my device. If anybody can advice such converter working in two ways and could share with such info i would appreciate that. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
Hello to all,

I just tried to unlock and root my GSM Galaxy Nexus with OS X, following the terminal command line steps. I managed to unlock the bootloader, installed superuser, but when I try to access any root application it says that the phone is still not rooted. Could anyone help me please with some specific steps for OS X? I want to install CWM, but I don't know how to flash a ROM on the GN either...

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
Did you flash the SU binary from CWM?

You will probably have to re-flash CWM through fastboot to get to it again unless you renamed install-recovery.sh

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1506536
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
Thank you.

How do I flash CWM through fastboot? I downloaded filetransfer for mac, should I just copy the CWM ROM to the device? Or is there some specific folder I should put it in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
fastboot flash recovery <name-of-recovery>.img

or if you have root access, you can download ROM manager from the play store

http://galaxynexusroot.com/galaxy-nexus-root/how-to-root-galaxy-nexus/ for a complete guide.

so pretty much what you want to do is,

1. download http://download.clockworkmod.com/recoveries/recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.0.2-maguro.img (MAGURO ONLY... GSM)

2. put it in the same folder as "fastboot-mac"

3. go into bootloader mode

4. fastboot-mac flash recovery <nameofrecovery>.img (I believe.. I could be wrong on this, I don't use mac but it should be somewhat similar)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
i'm pretty sure you have to put a ./ infront of fastboot... so it'd be like ./fastboot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
Thank you very much!! I will try those steps, I am just Mister Paranoia when it comes to these things, so i want to make sure i am doing it right!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
If you check the thread I posted above too, it's a guide on unlocking the bootloader and gaining root from a Mac. If you skip to the steps subsequent to locking the bootloader, you should be good to go!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
I tried, and I have Superuser installed when I boot my phone, but when I try to access any root application, such as Root Explorer or Titanium backup, it doesn't allow me because it says the device is not rooted. There is no SU pop-up asking permissions either. I also downloaded CWM ROM MANAGER, tried to flash the recovery from there, but again it says it doesn't have permission.

Also half of the commands on terminal don't work...

Could anyone post a very easy step-by-step guide on how I could solve this please?

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
By the way, I am on 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
You are flashing a permanent recovery on your mac, right? fastboot flash recovery recovername.img Also, you put SU.zip on your SD card, then went into ClockworkMod recovery (volume up/down + power, choose recovery) and flashed SU.zip from your phone correct? It's still not working?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Bosio91:
It did work! Thank you for the help!

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarisOnline:
Hi all,

Anybody knows how I can rip the image from my WP7, which is currently used for the lockscreen wallpaper?

Deleted my pictures, and saw that one of them is used as my locscreen wallpaper, however this pictures is stored somewhere in the Phone which is not visibile with Zune.

Cheers,

Solaris
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Well, I could tell you where the image is stored in the phone's filesystem, but that probably wouldn't help you unless you have a custom ROM or a filesystem browser. It wouldn't be the full photo anyhow, just the 800x480 cropped version used on the lock screen...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarisOnline:
Hi,

Is it possible to install such a file explorer on my phone, or do I have to unlock the device for that?

In which folder is this image stored?

Thanks!!

Gr,

Solaris
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
Your phone will need to either be interop-unlocked with WP7 Root Tools (normal dev-unlock is not sufficient) or will need to have a full-unlocked custom ROM.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SolarisOnline:
Good to know, thanks for your help!!
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] a121232:
As the title, is the v6supercharger or slaidyboost better?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] freakyfriday:
You can't compare both man. They are completely different scripts...

V6 - is a memory management script. It fixes LMK and OOM values so that apps don't run in background. Soon ultimately this may increase the overall battery.

Slaid - its a better script as it has many different features like smoothness, lag fix, battery tweaks, fast boot, etc. So if u want overall increase in performance... Go for this.

Adrenaline shot - similar to slaid but with some changes in code. Its here in dev section if not, go to Ace dev section and ask the Guy who wrote this to make changes for our mini.

Hope it helped you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] a121232:
Can you tell me the easiest way to use v6supercharger?
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] freakyfriday:
Download and install script manager

Download V6 script from xda

Put it SD card

Open script manager app and find v6 script

Open it

Then a screen will pop up showing various options

Choose root option (icon with su icon) , save it

Hit execute

V6 will start running.

Choose option 7 ( 512 HP - aggressive. )

Super clean and restart.

That's. It :) ( it will take a long time to boot don't worry u dint brick ur phone ;)

Optional ---

SM Widgets

KickAss kernel

NitroLag boot

3G Turbo boost

Enjoy and hit thanks coz I m really lazy still I wrote this down for someone, I dont even know :) lol

has anyone tried to use slaidy boost with CM 7.2 RC 5.7?

should i delete previous default script before flashing it?
[LG Optimus 3D] ChiefOBrian:
Hey there,

i wrote a little app which helps you to set the maximum frequencies of our O3D's.

It just does an "echo *selected speed* > /proc/opperator". So you no longer need a Terminal Emulator to set the max frequencie.

I'm not responsible for any damage you do to your phone, so overclock only if you know what you do.

For this app to work your Phone must be rooted and you must have a kernel with Overclock module support (thanks to bedwa and tekahuna), e.g. Titan Kernel by samo http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1547319

Sorry for my english ;)

P.S.: If somebody found a bug, please report and i'll try to fix it

Have Phun!

[LG Optimus 3D] omgomg:

[LG Optimus 3D] tropbel:
very useful app! well done! thank you very much from all community :)

one question, after set frequency, what must i have to do? tap back, exit the app, tap home button? :o

thanks
[LG Optimus 3D] androidfanboi:
Dont mean to take the glory away from the work the dev has put in but you can just download Rom Toolbox from the market and use the scripter function which allows you to write your script echo 1300000000 > /proc/opperator for instance and have it run every boot .
[LG Optimus 3D] ishma:
I have some issue with the app, its like freeze after I set the frequency.

so home button is the only way. :D

I think this app is more simple and easy.

so even though I have the rom toolbox, I prefer to use this. :D

It's useful for setting OC in real time, thanks for that.

But I think it's better make an app with a slider for setting max speed, test device, and if all it's ok, make changes on init.d script. (test it first... better than have device freeze whenever it starts up xD)

[LG Optimus 3D] itsmemario:
2 years later...

Does the PACMAN ROM v21.3 automatically have its own overclock "kernel" ? I ask because of the performance menu.

Or does it only offer downclocking ?

A terminal command like

su

echo 1300000000 > /proc/opperator

just wont do anything then ?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] SnowPluralism:
Hello :)

For all the stock user's out there who are tired of samsung or operator logo boot animation ... and never managed to get rid of her ... those day's are over!

There's only a few things you need:

- A Thinking Brain

- A Pair of Eyes

- An Ace with Root

- Root Explorer

Now let´s go ( I've tried this my self and works like a charm, I'm running Stock DDQ8 at the moment )

First of all if you have CWM mode installed you should do a backup just in case, if you don't have CWM make sure you follow all the steps properly!

Download Both File in Attachment and extract them ... !ATTENTION! These are not flashable zip files!

Now:

- Put both files in your SD Card

- With Root Explorer Copy both file to System\Bin and replace the files that are already there, set permission on both file's to: rwxr-xr-x (just like the image below) (If you don't set permission you'll be stucked in a boot loop!)

​

- Then choose whatever boot animation you want ( I leave a link to a thread with boot animations for our ace below 8D )

BOOTANIMATION

- Rename the whichever boot animation you've downloaded to bootanimation.zip, put in your SD Card and with root explorer move it to System\Media ( Delete the qmg files on that directory) and set the permission's to rw-r--r-- and all of that should look like the image's below!

​

And it's done :D now just reboot your phone!

Now some other things!

There is no way to change boot off animation but there's a way to not see her!

If you wanna get rid of boot off animation just go to System\ Media\ Video\ Shutdown, and delete the qmg file in there :)

A couple of note's to all of u!

1st - To all of you that get an error "..... because the file system is read-only" you have to mount it in the top right corner. Just like the images below!

​

2nd - I am not responsible for any harm that your phone may suffer!

Shut Animation can be changed

Hi there, I'm not sure if it's pertinent to your phone brand and model but I've changed the Shut Animation on mine pretty easily if not with flying colors. I've got rooted ZTE Grand X IN running T-Mobile stock ICS 4.0.4. The boot off ani of my choice was CM10 Bootanimation [540 x 960]. I simply renamed it to shutanimation.zip and moved it to ..System\ Media\. Permissions set to rwxr - xr - x and it works like a charm. Same done with Shutsound.mp3 of my choice. I mainly use ROM Toolbox Lite 'cause it's got a whole bunch of downloadable Boot Animations from its server.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbardo.ea:
Hi all,

My question is aimed to head deep into the Android OS and the flashing process itself. I know that if I flash my phone with a new ROM that system files are replaced and also some other files too. My question is how is this done? Is there an exact order in which the files have to be replaced, and are they "just" overwritten or are they deleted first and then the new ones put in place?

Forgive me if this question has already been answered. I really tried my best to find answers on Google and in here.

Thanks in advance for any enlightening comment.

Open up an update-script and your dilemma will be solved
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naria9:
Essentially, like the previous reply mentioned the android OS is heavily partitioned, but has a lot of sneaky mount points to hide this fact.

Really all a CWM flashable zip does is follow a script, easily readable in the zip, to copy files throughout the OS partition.

If you look in the zip you'll see a few things, the biggest thing here is the /System folder. It contains the entirety of the system partition that makes your ROM /Your ROM/. Also you'll see boot.img which is the kernel (and CWM). A modem.bin file is also present, but to my understanding is only flashed if one is not currently present.

When looking at CM9's zip, you'll see an updater.sh. This is the shell script that's run on using CWMs install function.

It's process checks a few environment things and installs (copys over /system) based on this.

Check out the script, it's really interesting.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zimbardo.ea:
Thanks to all of you :)

I will have a look inside a script then.

Hello,

I got an issue, that i can't solve, and i wanted to know if anybody here got it, and in case there's a solution for that.

whenever i plug my LG2X running CM7 RC2 to my car charger, after few minutes the headset icon appears, and the device "thinks" that a headset was connected to it, therefore I can't hear GPS instructions etc'

when using the home charger, there are no problems

I'm running Cyanogen 7.1

Any ideas or solutions?

Thanks

[LG Optimus 2x] ronalith:
I would try changing the brand of the charger if it's not an LG and do tests with other's car chargers. I assume it doesn't happens with the regular charger.
[LG Optimus 2x] gwthumper:
Just a thought. I had a Captivate do the same thing, & it turned out to be crud in the cable end. Try compressed air in the cable end & charging port on your phone. If not, ditch the charger/cable before it fries the phone.

Hope it helps!
[LG Optimus 2x] guywein:
Thank you both,

I have tried switching charger. That was actually the first thing i did before posting this.

however, it does not help. The problem is general to car charging.

It is not related to my car, as i had the same issue with other cars, and other chargers.

this seems to be a software problem.

[LG Optimus 2x] Tommmii:
perhaps an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dwalkes.android.toggleheadset2 might help?

One thing's for sure; you're getting stray resistance in the charge port. Id still remove battery & find a non-metallic object to "gently" clean the contacts where the charger plugs in.

I accidentally got crud in my cord, but didn't realize it till the phone started going into download mode using this certain one. It was cool till it fried the phone ...

Hi there everyone from Kindle Fire XDA Forum :)

I've been here for a while trying to figure out how exactly the Kindle Fire amazon's interface works, but i still have some questions, so, here they are.

1 - Do i need root in order to install google play ?

2 - Once i get to google play, everything will be just like any other android tablet / phone ? I mean, will i be able to install all the apps i already bought and etc ?

3 - Whats the easiest way to root my kindle fire ?

4 - I am planing to pay for Amazon Prime for a year or so, so flashing CM9 would not be an option. But, in case i change my mind, is it a Good choice for using at the Kindle Fire ? I mean, losing access to the whole Amazon's ecosystem would be a great downside, right ?

5 - Can i use the Built-in Amazon App Store if i am not from US ? I am from Brasil, and i have an international credit card (but it is not FROM US).

6 - What i should NOT do in terms of Flashing, trying roms and etc ?

Thank in advance :D
