[General Questions and Answers] djv:
Can someone please tell me where to find the APK for starting the process of rooting my nook tablet.I found lots of instructions but nothing definite as to where to get the APK to get the process going.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedCarpetGrave:
I have searched around and didn't see this answered very clearly. So far I have seen my signal fluctuate between -120 and -70. I am trying to understand how to read this because I think it is a more accurate representation than the bar signal. Any information on this would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.:)

Michael
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
The lower the signal, the higher the "negative" dBM" goes. When you have -70, that is a stronger signal than -120.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedCarpetGrave:
Thanks so much! I think (from what I read) the total range is -200 to 200? Is this correct? The info I was able to find on dBm didn't all relate to cell signal and how to read it, so I could be wrong. Is there any specific range that can be considered an "optimal" signal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
When you have no signal, the phone will show -113 I believe. Full signal on a normal basis would be -69 or -70. Unless your in an area like me where I have a booster inside my home and I'm around -30-40 all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ATnTdude:
There is no "total range" for decibels, it's a logarithmic scale that goes from infinitely small to infinitely large. An increase in 10db means a signal that's 10 times stronger. So the difference between -200 and +200 is 40 zeros. +200 dBm is 10^17 watts, which is in the neighborhood of a nuclear weapon (and a VERY large one at that) in terms of power. A TV broadcast is only ~+78dBm.

Though, the phone will only display between -120 and -70.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RedCarpetGrave:
Thank you. In my basement I get -120, I am still able to text and make calls but sometimes it cuts out. What kind of booster do you have?

Very informative, thank you! So if I ever see my dBms raising very rapidly to +200 I will know to get to the nearest bomb shelter lol.;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beuh_dave:
I didn't write this, but you may find it useful:

"The minimum threshold is somewhere around -100dB to -105dB for GSM. If you take the 3dB difference between -99dB and -102dB then it could mean the difference between dropping the call or not. Generally, you can say, for GSM:

-105 to -100 = Bad/drop call

-99 to -90 = Getting bad/signal may break up

-89 to -80 = OK/shouldn't have problems, but maybe

-79 to -65 = Good

Over -65 = Excellent"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
That's a bit off I'd say from my experience. You can easily make perfect calls in the -100 to -90 range. Its not as bleek as the above may say.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M3drvr:
I'm using a wilson booster. They have a bunch of boosters. Works on 800-900 &1800-1900mhz ranges. They have different ones depending on how big an area you want to boost as well. Mine covers the entire house nearly minus half of one room upstairs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hEaTLoE:
Same with my experience as well, though on CDMA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mudferret:
Same experience for me. If the signal bar in the battery history is to be believed -100 is just below "green"; it usually clocks in as beige'ish. When that signal bar starts to look like a Rasta flag, your signal is bad, very bad.

Thanks jellette I am happy to see a gingerbread rom not many around these days every body is going ics glad to you will continue development of this rom hope it move up to jw4 with all the latest features. When I get home I'll Odin back stock and download this bad boy I was on ics but ics still have a long way to interm of getting everything functional so I am sticking to gingerbread once again thanks.

Thanks for the ROM. ICS ROMS seem too buggy still, and just aren't stable enough for me at the moment. Need more love for GB roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] hurtz777:
Jellette are you able to compile kernels? The Vibrant community has been in a desparate need for fast and stable touchwiz gb kernel with voodoo color and sound. Simply Talon worked great but he could never get GPS to initialize properly. It was super smooth at 1.2ghz and voodoo color looked amazing on tw gb roms.
[Vibrant Android Development] jellette:
I guess I'm going to have to learn or find a kerneler because I need a kernel for JW4 and possibly for JW3 since it isn't calling for gps. So I'm back to working from JW1 for the time being.
[HTC One X] DomCowell:
So I was just wondering if I could stop my One X automatically going to a screen to select a new network operator when I lose signal..

I am half way through playing games, then I lose signal (WHICH SHOULDN'T AFFECT GAME PLAY, AS I AM CONNECTED TO WIFI ANYWAY!), and my game is then paused for me to press the back button to go back to the game?

Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk_zero-cool:
Hi.

I my self are using and building for the HTC Desire and similar devices. However I have a friend who has the Galaxy s2 and wanted an ICS ROM on he's device. I found a ROM from in here, but I needed to change something in ramdisk to get UMS working.

I found that unlike my own phone, this one had 3 parts in the boot.img. The kernel, ramdisk and something else.

Does anyone have any idea what this something else is? How to split the boot.img and of cause how to put it assemble it again?

I search google and found someone saying that I should ignore this 3 part. I tried that and broke not only the ROM, but also the recovery.

This takes me to the second question. Where does the S2 store the recovery? When flashing a new ROM on any Samsung device, I end up with a different recovery to? Last time I made a nandroid backup, flashed a ROM that did not work, could not recover because the backup was made with a newer recovery version than the one flashed along with the ROM.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
The recovery (mode) is part of the kernel.

If you have issues with a broken recovery, just flash another kernel containing a (CWM) recovery, such as CF-Root, Siyah, SpeedMod, N.E.A.K., etc.

P.S.:

You can use Mobile Odin app from Chainfire to flash new (stock) ROMs, kernels, modems, CSCs, etc.

Good luck !
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eudemony:
recovery is in sdcard/clockworkmod/backup or sdcard/external_sd/clockworkmod/backup .. if you did a backup with CWM

UMS is already supported in ICS, and with LP4 and Siyah kernel (newest) usb mass storage is supported in recovery mode also
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk_zero-cool:
UMS is supported yes, but not always enabled. The ROM's I tried had MTP set instead. The newest CM9 has UMS as default now, but right now I'm just interested in how the boot.img works on these devices.

I use recoveries as backup system when the other fails. Having recovery depend o the regular boot.img is not very useful. Having the recovery console change on regular ROM flash is not helpful either.

The recovery and regular ROM should not have anything to do with one another.

But about the boot.img

How do I split an re-essamble it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eudemony:
ok think i am starting to understand .. here are the facts

1. to activate UMS instead of MTP go to settings > more... >USB utilites >connect mass storage to PC

2. Use clockwork recovery not stock recovery for backup purposes .. even if you cant restore because of a different recovery (which I havent found yet! but heard of) you can always flash the original insecure kernel and recover as that will have the version of clockwork recovery you used .. even if the phone doesnt boot up (boot loops) as you can still get into recovery mode using the 3 button method

3 ok this is what you want to know about .. but problem is i dont think you are using the right terminology maybe?

are you talking about a stock rom tar?

this comes with these files

boot.bin

cache.img

factoryfs.img

hidden.img

modem.bin

param.lfs

sbl.bin

zimage

or a clockwork recovery image zip

which comes with these files

modem.bin

zimage

edit: ok i found the boot.img in the clockwork recovery backup i have

this has the files

boot.img

nandroid.md5

cache.ext4.tar

data.ext4.tar

system.ext4.tar

if you chanage the boot.img then i assume the md5 will fail therefore not restore

you will need to generate a new md5 for the boot.img then insert that line into nandroid.md5 with notepad++ then it "should" work
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dd_command:
Ok. I do not know everything about boot.img but i will share what i know maybe somebody else will help us

All. kernel ramdisk and recovery mode is in the same partition mmcblk0p5 witch is not good at all but it is how it is then we have mmcblk0p6

what is called recovery partition and i9100 seems to not use this partition never ever. So when you flash new kernel you have new recovery as well and when you mess up with this kernel you do not have recovery mode as well lol

The first boot i tried to figure out was Siyah kernel i found in my phone very interesting script /sbin/ext/install.sh

root@android: # read_boot_headers /dev/mmcblk0p5

boot_offset=9397;boot_len=2480;recovery_offset=11877;recovery_len=2114;

we have something whats called 'boot offset' and its lenght. And then install.sh gets it out and save its as a payload

in /res/misc folder. Thats how it looks like

root@android: # dd skip=9397 count=2480 if=/dev/mmcblk0p5 of=boot.img.tar <--why tar? i know that from install.sh

then unpack the file and we have some apps and su file

res/misc/payload/CWMManager.apk.xz

res/misc/payload/Superuser.apk.xz

res/misc/payload/su.xz

res/misc/payload/ntfs-3g.xz

zcat'ed files but it is not a boot ramdisk and kernel what i was looking for

then i did the same with recovery offset

root@android: # dd skip=11877 count=2114 if=/dev/mmcblk0p5 of=recovery.img.xz <--why .zx? again from install.sh

xzcat recovery.img.xz > recovery.tar

and what inside? This

res/images/icon_installing_overlay01.png

res/images/icon_installing_overlay05.png

....

res/images/progress_fill.png

res/images/icon_installing_overlay06.png

sbin/e2fsck

sbin/killrecovery.sh

sbin/sdparted

sbin/recovery-samsung

sbin/fota.png

sbin/tune2fs

sbin/redbend_ua

sbin/parted

sbin/fix_permissions

sbin/mke2fs

not recovery. just some images and files. Then i started think what is before that boot offset its almost 5MB of data?

So there is a kernel and ramdisk all packed by LZMA offset 8400 up to this phrase:

BOOT_IMAGE_OFFSETSboot_offset=9397;boot_len=2480;recovery_offset=11877;recovery_len=2114

witch is end offset = 4810754 This is not a real end its mor than but im sure for now it is all length of file. Nothing is missing. Enough to unpack, Then we are able to extract it using my favourite dd

root@android: # dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p5 of=ramdisk.cpio.lzma skip=8400 count=4810754 bs=1

root@android: # unlzma ramdisk.cpio.lzma and this is not ramdisk yet lol

file what we have now is call ramdisk.cpio and thats what is there:

on a very begining ofsett 00000 D3 F0 21 E3 <---that i a kernel i think up to begining of CPIO

CPIO offset 30554 <-- 07070

TRAILER!!! + 00 00 00 00 offset 5,691,619

root@android: # dd if=ramdisk.cpio of=real-rd.cpio skip=30554 count=5691619 bs=1

And now we have ramdisk

There is one more gziped file offset 11339924 it is the same what is in /proc somewhere

Then i gave up cos im not able to repack this ramdisk by LZMA original is starting of 5D 00 00 00 04

but my its always ends with different digit but never 4

Can you get into safestrap or bootstrap and did you make a back up? If so you are in luck.

Have you tried the quick unbricking script in lieu of RSD Lite?

Just download the 450ish MB .zip and unzip it to your desktop, connect with the stock USB cable, boot into AP Fastboot, then double click the "CLICK HERE etc." batch file.
[Motorola Droid 3] slayer621:
What are you using for a bootstrap? The droid 3 bootstrap or safestrap? What were you on prior to flashing, and what did you attempt to flash? What were your steps EXACTLY?
[Motorola Droid 3] redsox985:
Good call here. I only jumped to quick SBF/FXZ because he had tried RSD already.

**Side note** When RSD failed for me a few times previously, I put my nuts on the chopping block and just closed it out and restarted RSD to run it again, against all warnings.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaytronics:
I am curios to know if the Android OS is capable of seeing dual micro SD cards in our devices? Because if it can. I am going to make a cable that offers the ability to split the one in the device into two? Obviously kernels and or software will have to be written or re written to see it in a RAID like configuration. Though I am going to assume that it won't be able to see it in a RAID 0 configuration. But only a 1 configuration. Nor would there be a heavy need for a 0 configuration. Though I bet some could find a need for it. Any way, I thought I would through that question out there to any devs. If it is something that could be done. I have a Xoom 4G and would be willing to test out kernels and software if any reputable Dev is willing to give it a shot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkhShadow:
It should work, just make sure that the 2nd SD card is mounted somewhere different from the 1st one

It may also require different drivers/software mod but I'm not sure on this

Thanks, Thegatorade :o

Simple

Just restore your original Stock ROM back and connect your Gmail account (Settings > Accounts & Syns > Add Account for gmail) and Sync everything such as Contacts, Browser history, Calender etc... and for your confirmation open Gmail from PC Browser and your contact will be there... then Flash your Custom or any other Rom and same step repeat.. Your all contacts will come back in original format..

I Hope this simple method will be better for you because i am using this method, its automatically add/remove contacts whenever you add/remove from Contacts.

I have a question about calling in Galaxy nexus , when i am on a call and i receive another call i get the notification a beeping sound but the person i am talking to also hear the notification that someone is calling me,i used nokia before this phone and the person i am talking to never got any notification , there is an option in the phone to turn off notification but then it turn the call waiting off,how can i turn the sound for the person i am talking to off without turning off call waiting ?

You can normally tell when someone does receive a call waiting notification either from the conversation cutting out or hearing some other anomally. I don't think that this would be a software issue for Google to fix though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volors:
I turned the call waiting off , then i called myself and picked up, and then called from another number at the same time then it just say user is busy it gives no beeping or any kind of notification when i am on a call, this is one of the issues with android. and definately a missing feature or havent been looked at.Cause only i should get the notification for beeping not the caller who is on call waiting.

i havent used any androids before but in any other phone i used there is no notification to my caller that i am receiving a call just to me i get a beep sound that someone is on call waiting.

No one has an answer ? Common guys I am on the biggest websites for android.

Anyone of you tried what i am talking about ?
