[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jserio:
Hey guys. I want to install my first custom ROM (Rocket ROM). The other day, I finally rooted and installed CWM. I then used CWM to make a backup to my external SD card. I was still on the factory kernel so I upgraded to the latest Samsung release (XLC1 non-wipe Germany). Now when I boot into CRM I see no option to backup. Also, when I launch the app, I get an error tat the kernel is unsupported. Was I supposed to re-install CWM after I upgraded to the new official ROM?

In any case, I am really only concerned about backing up my photos, music, SMS, SNote, and contacts. I don't care about the applications since I can reinstall them. I used Kies to do a compete backup. Am I correct in assuming I can do the following then:

1.) Boot into CRM

2.) Perform wipe data/all

3.) Install RocketROM

4.) Update to RocketROM 2.3

4b) OPTIONALLY install Speedmod kernel

5.) Restore sms, contacts, etc from Kies

WIll this work ok? Since I don't have a ROM backup and if something fails, can I just boot into recovery mode and reinstall again?

Again, my biggest concern is recovering my sms, contacts, photos, snote, etc. I don't care about apps or other settings.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
Contact - backup with inbuilt Import/Export function

SMS - SMS backup restore application is good option(if kies do this thn fine, i never used kies)

Snote, you need to backup with titanium(read properly , i think lite version also works)

Music, photos remains in USB storage, so it won't erase on flashing ROM
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jserio:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'm still a little confused. in Kies, the backup option has checkboxes for Contacts, SMS, and Snote. When I rooted and installed the stock ROM, I lost all of my SMemos. I just restored them now and they are all there. Do you mean I need Titanium for the SMemo application? Is that not included in RocketROM? The video I saw on YouTube seems to show it.

A full wipe won't delete photos or music?

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.ketan:
If it is(smemo) restored from kies then what is problem now?

I said titanium can backup Smemo. I dont know whether it is preinstalled in Rocket ROM as i have never used custom ROM.

Routine flashing won't wipe photos N music, If manually you format your SD card, then only it gets erased.

lost 3g data service, don't know what the cause is?

was fine right after root, been rooted for about a week now...and suddenly it quits working. (icon not visible, only EDGE bars)

Anyone know a fix to this? thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blutruck:
I experienced this earlier this week when I first flashed a custom ROM. I thought I had a bad SIM card. I powered off, removed battery, removed SIM card, let it sit for about 15 seconds. Reinstalled SIM card, battery and powered up. Been fine since then.

I'm pretty sure that if you change the device in your build.prop with a file manager or something.

You can get apps for that device. I forgot what to change though lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] estxxas:
Both devices say incompatible. I think it's the ROM/version and not the device. One is on 4.0.3 the other is on 4.0.4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sc4fpse:
Latest version (April 11, 2012) is attached. If the app is not available for your device (like my Galaxy Nexus -- Play store suggests it doesn't have ICS support), you won't be able to get future updates through your Play Store app. But to get future versions, use this (which is how I got the app for my phone): http://codekiem.com/2012/02/24/apk-downloader/

For the record, I'm on Verizon with a Galaxy Nexus, and I just told the play store I was using a Beeline SIM.

Oh, and Константин is a pretty great name for a kid. ;)

You lose like 3 or 4 gigs, but worth it IMHO. Also can not have a file over 4GB on it.
[Member-Found Deals] teiglin:
Where did you hear that? My 64GB card shows 59.36GiB on my tab, which is about 250MB short of the advertised capacity. If you don't understand why that's correct and not a loss of capacity, look up binary prefixes vs. SI prefixes on wikipedia. The SI prefixes are generally used even when binary prefixes would be correct, especially within systems

Also, if the 4GB size limit is a problem any rooted device can be made to recognize an NTFS card. Popular devices generally have custom kernels with this support built-in as well.
[Member-Found Deals] ZeroManArmy:
Well then they should advertise it as, 59.36 Gigs, not 64. Thats 3gigs of lost data storage.

I'll be travelling from Los Angeles to Italy and France in the near future. Any tips for an affordable option for maintaining connectivity on my G2x during that time? I don't need voice, just data.

Googling around I found $50+ cards that I can buy and have shipped here, but was hoping someone here had first hand experience and could give me some tips. Thanks!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Buy a SIM card when you get there from a local shop.

Just stay away from the shops right near the airport, they're always a ripoff.

I don't have an answer for you, but I give it a bump because I will be travelling that way in June and would love to hear of a good internet source for this!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
Make sure your phone is unlocked of course :rolleyes:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesterpb:
What would a decent price be (just to level set so I don't get ripped off)?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0rrupt10n:
Dunno about France; in the UK a Pay as you go SIM on 3 is £1, plus a top up of £15 for a month's unlimited data, 300 minutes and around 3000 texts. It comes with around 140mb before top-up. Its what I use in my G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jesterpb:
Great! So in UK the pricing was about:

£1 - for the card itself

£15 - for unlimited data/300 minutes/3000 texts

That's not bad!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dvorak67:
I'll be in the UK for about a 6 weeks this summer and was looking at 3 because it seemed like their prices are the best. How are the data speeds for you? And is data capped/throttled, or is it truly unlimited?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ecdy:
If you've got a TMo phone you can do internet calling for free. I don't think the g2x has a radio compatible with 3g/4g in Europe.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0rrupt10n:
Usually about 3mbps in certain areas, data throttling at peak times, too. Sorry - I've been away from the forum for a while.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dvorak67:
Thanks! I've been here for a few weeks now. 3 has been great! Had Vodafone for a week, they were terrible. Didn't seem to work well with my phone, the APNs kept disappearing so data wouldn't work. Plus you only get 50 mb per day if you're pay as you go.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] andrewNY:
The G2x definitely is compatible with 3g/4g in Europe. I've personally used it in the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] k0rrupt10n:
I should probably change my sig to reflect this; I'm in the UK and I use a G2X. I did get some slight data issues with non 1800Mhz telcos, but that was more than likely down to using 4.0.4 betas all the time. Back to Bionix as my daily driver and it has been fine - I work for an MVNO so I have access to SIMs for all main UK networks to test.
[HTC One X] almoni123:
Hi all,

I will be very thankful if you could help me with this one.

I am using Windows XP64 OS and I love it !

Recently I have bought One X (which I love as well), but as you might guess, the problem is I could not find drivers for it.

I have downloaded HTC Sync with hope that it will install the necessary drivers, and actually it did work on Windows XP (32bit),

but the installation failed on XP64.

Without the drivers, 'adb' does not recognize my phone and I can not continue developing on it (only on the simulator)...

Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance,

Almoni
[HTC One X] apache07x:
I'm in the same boat, Can't find drivers guess it's time to update windows
[HTC One X] junialum:
The biggest problem with WinXP 64 are the drivers. I doubt there are any.
[HTC One X] ckpv5:
Some people say this driver works for XP64.

No promise it will work but it is worth trying
[HTC One X] apache07x:
I tried that one with no luck on my system. Windows does recognize my phone but not properly like xp 32 bit does at work.
[Motorola Photon 4G] mykeyvee:
had this question when i was trying to set a specific song or ringtone to wake up to with my evo. just download astro file manager or file expert, and create a file on your memory card that is named "alarms", then from there you can throw in any song or ringtone (as long as the phone recognizes that format) and it'll show up immediately in the pop up box when you're trying to set your alarm! awesome! learned that from searching on the the net. didn't come up with it myself, just thought I'd pass it on!
[Motorola Photon 4G] dtaylorr:
Very handy, thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] Moguledyouth:
you can also create just one folder called "media" on the root of either the internal or external storage and then underneath that create the folders "alarms", "notifications" and "ringtones". it's much cleaner and easier to manage. I would caution creating folders on both as all they will just add duplicate entries in the sound selection lists.

Just download Zedge. Much easier.

Good Evening!

I have been using Cyanogen Mod 7 for a couple months now.. and I am beyond frustrated. I have gotten to the point of uninstalling all of my apps and not even wanting to use it unless I need to. It took me a heck of a long time browsing the forums and learning how to do this. the only app I really use now is google maps and it hates me I am sure... :(

So the reason for this post, I need some guidance.. I've read so many plus and minuses about different roms my head is spinning.

Phone - X10

AV - 2.3.5

BBV - 2.1.71

Kernel - 2.6.29-zdzihu-19082011zdzihu@wrack #1

CPU Info - ARMv7 processsor rev 2 (v7l)

Mod Ver - ZMOD

Build - CM7-ZDZIHU-MOD

does any of this look wrong? Is there anything I can do to prevent the freezing/lagging .. is there a better direction?

Thanks for your thoughts.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
Z's CM7 mod can now be considered obsolete as it was based on a very old build of CM7 and are not up to date anymore. You can consider the FXP's CM7 as it's very stable with almost everything working fine (tethering doesn't work but I don't it bothers you right?).

Also, you can use AntTek App Manager to freeze/delete unused system apps from your device. I did the same thing as there's too many apps that I don't even use (which exists in the system, i.e. Google Talk, News And Weather, etc.).
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmoes1:
Thanks, I am looking into that version now.

I am still a little confused, the instructions given here.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=17998666&postcount=12446

I downloaded (prior to finding the instructions)

FXP115_update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-zeus-UNOFFICIAL-signed

but i guess it's different then (still have to wait 30 to be able to d/l again)

FXP115_update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-es209ra-UNOFFICIAL-signed.7z

As the folders mentioned in the instructions do not appear to be in it.

If I do a (Factory Reset, full wipe) in the Zdzihu's xrecovery menu is that the same as "from the menu wipe the device and caches" or does this version install a new kernel and menu to wipe from?

Thanks again.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hzu:
Before you install the new kernel and ROM, you need to have your bootloader unlocked. Once unlocked, you can flash the new kernel (it's in the Flashtool folder inside the 7z archive, and you know what to do next).

Then you can flash the new ROM. By the way, the recovery that'd you'd have next is CWM, and it's basically the same as xRec since it's what xRec was based on. By a full wipe, it means wipe the /data, /cache, and dalvik cache.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shmoes1:
Ok so I ran the S1tool to see if I was unlocked already.. (i'm guessing unlocking is not the same as rooting :\) and this is what I got, it looks greek to me.

Hi, i want little advise on downloading ICS rom, I have recently rooted my beloved sexy SGS II :)

I want the pure ics rom which you can see on galaxy nexus rom with same look & feel, and it should be stable too, if not then

I have a question, if i install any stable ICS based MIUI or Cyanogenmod rom, do u know if there is option inside to switch it original default ICS theme ? I trided to look in youtube videos but didn't get

Also Do you know if we can put Tw Launcher on custom rom?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Javier.San1993:
I'm not sure where you can get this stuff...maybe use the search navigator? Or go down to your devices android development thread? TWLauncher won't work on any pure Google experience, frameworks don't allow it, unless you like boot loops... Not trying to flame you, but you should search a bit harder before posting on here...XDA isn't YouTube, so you won't find the answers there. Most ICS ROMs are stock ICS theme out-of-the-box, look at screenies! Oh wait, you didn't because you never searched...>.>

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankimm:
Resurrection is not pure ICS, Its basic framework is based on the Tw launcher. It only has an ICS launcher, everything else is themed. So if you want a pure ICS rom only CM9 is there. If you want your phone to look like an Iphone then use MIUI.

Hi!

I recently switced to sgs2 coming from my old sgs1 that was running cm9.

I turned on the sgs2 in the car on my way home and suddenly remembered the "Samsung tw hell" OK tw4 is not that bad and there is not the same lag as on the sgs1. But after using the "pure ICS experience on sgs1 for a while now, I just couldn't go back to touchwiz.

So when I got back home I found the speedmod kernel for sgs2 GB and flashed it, just to get cwm and then flashed hydrogen ics rom straight away. And I haven't looked back since, my phone is flying! Even though I have it running at Max 1 Ghz And compaired to my sgs1 the battery life is not that bad.

So hydrogen rom is so far my only experience with ics on the sgs2 but I can highly recommend it. And it can be modified without end so its really cool!
