[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gent.XDA:
There is a small risk that you will softbrick the phone.

This means that you can encounter some startup problems or just plain broken phone.

But dont worry, soft bricks are almost harmless and all problems have an easy solution nowadays.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheStigx:
Yeah, I thought that too. But I have read those threads about how to recovery it from soft brick, and I think it isn't a problem.

Oh, What CWM app? You mean rom manager? That can only help me with roms :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Do not use rom manager .

Root + CWM .

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

from the guide in stickies .

Clockworkmod is a 'custom recovery' made by xda member koush. Every phone had a recovery partition designed so that if the user messes up a ROM installation, they can recover their phone. CWM is a modified recovery installed into the recovery partition that allows advanced control over ROM recovery, installation and much more.

Features of CWM include:

- NANDroid Backup, This allows you to completely back up your existing ROM with all its files, data and apps

- Restore Backup, Restores a previous backup (obviously...)

- ROM installation, Allows you to install a ROM contained inside a flashable .zip file

- Wipe data/Factory reset, completely erases all of your data contacts, apps etc, leaving your phone 'as new'

Amongst others...

How to install CWM​

If you have already rooted your phone using the CF-root Kernel, then you already have CWM! If not, then just install the kernel linked to above in the 'how to root your phone' section

How to make a NANDroid backup using CWM

​

Backups are important because they allow you to restore your ROM incase flashing goes wrong, or you phone starts playing up and displaying wierd bugs.

To make a backup, you need to boot into CWM recovery (done through the 'cwm' app installed onto your phone when you flash the cf-root kernel). Then, you need to navigate down to 'backup/restore' using the volume keys, and select it using the home key. From here, just click 'backup' and you are all set! Leave your phone make the backup (its takes some time) and then just reboot when it tells you its finished. To restore your backup, do the same but instead of clicking backup, click 'restore' instead. Choose which backup you would like to restore and leave the phone to do its magic. Done.

How to install a ROM using CWM

​

Installing a ROM using CWM is a lot less hassle then installing via Odin. The ROM developer will specify which method of installing their ROM you can use, but it is usually done by a CWM flashable .zip.

To flash:

1. Boot into CWM as described above

2. Navigate to 'install zip from sd card'

3. Select it, and then navigate to 'install zip from sdcard' again!

4. Select the ROM you downloaded from your sd card

5. Navigate down to yes

6. Let CWM install you new ROM!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kachrukamble:
Go to Chainfires thread in Original android development section and download the cf root file that match to your current rom.

Flash it with odin, You will have custom CWM:)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mp998:
By the way the lines run accross the screen it looks like the cable to your screen is loose and is not longer attached all the way.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thatsupnow:
Damn I better be more careful with mine I've dropped the phone on the ground a few times putting it back into my pocket but luckily no problems.... Yet
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00319:
Its actually sliding out your gamepad a lot that does this
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] haverdaden:
yh

yh opening , closing ,opening , closing will make the cable loose in the end. My cable is now loose after alot of gaming opening and closing. There will go alot of money sending it to service now i guess sigh.. ^^ i saw a take apart video and you have to take apart whole phone to get to the LCD cable :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK00319:
It's actually less of making the cable loose, and more about the friction from the plastic on the track. Every time you slide out your game pad, you are fraying the cable a bit. After time, your phone gets that white screen.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grigio888:
i was thinking that it is the flex cab that was busted but the cel's boot shows normal, appears the DooMLorD logo, but get stuck in this, if i lock n unlock the cel, it shows that screen i have attached... waiting a answer to make my move...
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jasonyroland:
Its not the cable in my case

my R800at did the same thing . white weird screen but still operates fine. i ordered the ribbon and yes installed correctly. same problem it didnt fix it. i too installed a custom rom and it went white shortly after. im just asking someone to think out of the box on this one. i love the work you do here saved my butt a hundred times. i inspected both cables and even sent my old one back in my return package and got a refund . It looked like the other no fraying or any unexpected wear and tear.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runely:
I know there is many threads about this, but I have never seen an answer to this question:

My device is jakjuxw because I'm from Norway. Is there any difference in keyboard languages and/or T9 between jakju and jakjuxw?

If I flash jakju will I get Norwegian keyboard and Norwegian T9 when its released?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] knudsen81:
Hello

Here in denmark someone write to samsung and they said we will get danish t9 in next 4.0.4 update (yakjuxw)

But i don't know with yakju
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got_milk:
Just a correction: it's yakju and yakjuxw.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runely:
It's corrected :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] geemaan:
switch to yakju and get swiftkey x from the market, better keyboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runely:
That really doesn't answer any of my questions. I like the original keyboard, so i will stick to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] runely:
Seriously. No one has a clue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mindwalkr:
I just flashed yakju yesterday (4.0.4) coming from a yakjuxw (4.0.2).

In the process I have lost the portuguese dictionary. If I scan for dictionary add-ons it's not there to be seen. Neither is danish or any other scandinavian language dictionaries for that matter so in short... if you want auto correct with the standard keyboard in danish at the moment then don't flash 4.0.4.

I have a NAND backup of my yakjuxw 4.0.2 so I will probably put it back today to confirm that I did have the portuguese auto correct dictionary and if so, somehow try to locate the file and maybe hack it into 4.0.4 yakju but I fear my android skills aren't enough for the task :)

It kinda sucks though that Google doesn't provide add-on text correction dictionaries for all languages.. why do you need a separate build for this..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
Yeah its wiered that they cant just add it, since there is a menu where you can search for updates to dictionarys.

But as far as i know(wich isnt that far at all), its not possible to go back to yakjuxw. Only if you can get a nandroid backup from someone. And im not sure that will work, but its just a suggestion i saw somewhere here on xda.

I just gave the Swiftkey X a go on my Desire(GNex is in for repair), and so far it seems pretty nice. The dictionary is way better than the ICS keyboard on market.

Give it a go, and see how you like it. It could save you a lot of trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mindwalkr:
Hmmm well I actually do have a NAND backup of my stock yakjuxw so it should work. First thing I did when I got the phone was to unlock it and do a NAND backup via clockwork recovery :)

yeah I know I actually have bought it back when Google was offering 99 cent apps. But I didn't quite get along with it.. always fell back to stock. The keyboard layout just feels better to me.. and if you use stock, you're going to get all the improvements they make to it down the road (which may be novel compared to Swiftkey X). It's a matter of preference really but yeah it is the simplest solution to get all dictionaries on your phone.

You can always just switch keyboards though... using stock for english and swiftkey for other languages.. just a few more clicks away :)

---------- Post added at 01:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:49 PM ----------

I believe the reason why you can't go back to yakjuxw without a NAND backup it's because the factory images aren't available for download at https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

If they'd have a yakjuxw factory image I don't see why you would not be able to flash it having yakju on your phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mindwalkr:
Well actually forget all I said about my previous post. I mixed up having the keyboard with having the text-correct dictionary.

I restored my 4.0.2 stock yakjuxw NAND backup and it also doesn't have the text correct portuguese add-on dictionary, neither the scandinavian ones. However it does come already pre-installed with Italian, French and German which you can get as add-ons with yakju anyway. My phone was bought in the Netherlands

So I guess if you're on yakjuxw and want to move to yakju, you're not missing out on any languages because you never had extra ones to begin with..

Now this is really strange... the european version of the Galaxy Nexus doesn't come with Portuguese ? 6th most spoken language in the world ? Seriously ?

Shame on you Google..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
Yeah thats what i meant :) But i cant really understand why they wouldnt make it public also. Cant be that many secrets inthere ;)

About the keyboard, i love the stock one, but without a dictionary its useless for fast writing. I got used to the ICS keyboard from Market, but the danish dictionary is just crap. When i tried Swiftkey i could really feel how the speed and ease returned.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mindwalkr:
I think it's because it's managed by Samsung, so maybe they didn't make it public for some stupid reason.

Yeah without a dictionary it's quite difficult. But now I remember why I gave up on Swiftkey... most of the time when I have to write in my native language (portuguese) it's when I have to send an SMS. And the auto-correct of Swiftkey automatically puts the special accents such as á,ô,à and although these are supported in GSM ISO encoding (used by Nokia since the dawn of phones) Android insists on using 8 bit Unicode and suddenly your 160 char SMS is reduced to 70.. meaning you pay more per the same SMS cause it has to be broken down into 2.

Of course phone carries are happy about this so I guess they don't have a say about it ;)

So for this reason, if sending an SMS via the stock Android browser it's actually better that the dictionary doesn't work lol :eek:

I think I read somewhere that Handcent SMS keeps the ISO encoding for the standard accents found in 7 bit ISO.. have to try that one

For reference here's the 7 bit ISO GSM alphabet http://www.dreamfabric.com/sms/default_alphabet.html

Little annoying bugs with Android you see.... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Toxvaerd:
And I thought I had a problem :-D

But do you really pay per SMS? Here in Denmark the free SMS and mms packages are so cheap that most people use them I think.

About the updates, it's not Samsung that manages them. Samsung i just doing some quality control but Google manages everything else. I got that from the Danish Samsung support after they checked with their developers.

But if it isn't stuff like dictionary, then what is it? I fear it could be something carrier related so a change to yakju might give me trouble. But if it's just apn I can live with entering it manually.

It's pretty annoying that we don't have a clear answer on the differences.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mindwalkr:
Well in Portugal you normally pay per SMS though there are some package deals I think. Here in the Netherlands it's also very common that you get SMS packages but still we're talking about 100-300 messages per month which if you lose them twice as fast by using non standard chars then it's a bad deal :)

No idea.. even the SIM Toolkit app is in the yakju version which I thought would be yakjuxw specific...

[Samsung Captivate Glide] R3D X:
Alright guys I think it's about time. The Captivate glide has been out for awhile. We have clockwork mod (had it for awhile) and this phone has way more than the required specs to load ICS. No one knows when the OTA update will be out. But in all honesty who cares. I have knowledge with editing android apks and roms because I picked it up from themeing. I also have linux. There is also already a custom kernel for captivate here in this forum.

***********************

My proposal is this. We need devs with:

-knowledge of rom porting and customization

-linux to compile source (duh) if you know how do this with mac/windows than fine.

-dropbox (github is another option) so we can all work on the same rom

https://github.com/R3DX/ICS--CM9--Port-to-Captivate-Glide---001

We need testers

-rooted captivate glide with clockwork to test out the roms at any given moment

-be sure to have a backup if the rom doesn't work.

**********************

If you are interested post reply here or email me redx_77@live.com

I am only proposing for a team cause no one wants to do this alone obviously that's why it hasn't been done yet. If you know some experienced devs refer them to here. We can form a team maybe. We also need some people willing to donate to those devs if they help give their time. Thank you
