[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bartolo5:
I followed those instructions and it sort of worked. I can tether through wifi now. a few important caveats:

You won't be able to change the SSID nor the password. You are stuck with the defaults that ICS gives you. Somehow the configuration screen is gone using this procedure.

You MUST add the MAC address to the list of devices you that are allowed. When you add the MAC address it must be specified with dashes. Hex chars only won't do it... Sort of sad that an ICS prompt would have this usability issue.

A dialog still pops out when you enable tethering. You won't be able to get rid of it. Just press the home button and go back to the wifi tethering settings. When you come back the dialog will be gone.

Hoping there will be a cleaner hack soon.

I have a strange problem with my inspire. When I installed Lord's ICS Rom the WiFi is not working for a router at my workplace, it shows signal and connected but the browser does not loads pages, it is a wireless G router, i tried the same Rom in my home and the WiFi is great, I tried CM 7.2 too and had the same problem, I restore back to my current RCMix that work flawless. I also tried changing router channel but doesn't help.

Any suggestions?

I just loaded up AlterROM v0.0.4-preview and everything was going great until I tried to add my google account. However it keeps telling me that my username and password don't match. I've tried several times with the same results and I know for a fact that I have the username and password correct.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be going wrong and how to fix it. I'd post this over in the dev forum, but I don't have enough posts yet to get in there.

Sorry, I just saw this. I've had no reports of people not being able to add their Google account in AlterROM.

Is this happening during the initial setup or after? Have you tried a full wipe and reflash, yet? Also I post the md5 checksum for all of my downloads. Make sure you didn't get a bad download.

Feel free to PM me with any issues you encounter with AlterROM, since you can't post in the thread. I'm usually online.
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
very strange issue has happened.

I'm pretty sure it started happening after a (finished correctly btw no errors) nandroid backup.

since I did a nandroid yesterday, my One X has been lagging whenever opening apps or accessing stored info e.g. bookmarks. ONce it loads whatever it wants to load, back to normal speed, but on switching to an app not in memory etc. it takes AGES to load e.g. 5-10 seconds for whatsapp, 10 seconds to bring up downloaded apps list, etc (before the nandroid it was ~3 seconds to do the same task). ALso e.g. in chrome, after it loads, there is 1-2 second lag in hitting settings, bookmarks, then another few mkore seconds for bookmarks to load.

Also I copied ~15gb of mp3s across and that seemed to cause issues as well. e.g. rebooting takes around 15 minutes to settle down.

I've scanned my internal SD card, no errors. Fixed permissions and zipaligned.

Is there any way I can check the integrity of my internal partitions?

note I have had nandroid screw up my system before when trying a nandroid without enough free space, it caused the same problem except 10x worse i.e. unusable phone, I had to RUU to fix, no amount of wiping and reflashing would do the trick. Nasty
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
update: something is defo messed but what.

In Antutu, rwrite/read speeds to storage re 10/35Mb, but I only get 35 for IO score!!!!
[HTC One X] wintermute000:
RUU fixed it....

I've sent below msg to CWM devs

Hi Khoush/bronco

I've made an alarming discovery with CWM. THis happened on both 5.8.4 and 5.8.7 on my Optus branded (australian) one x

If I make a nandroid, my IO become sluggish as, nothing short of RUU restore will fix it. It completes successfully and everything.

I just had a perfectly working HTC One X running leedroid, made a nandroid, and boom its sluggish accessing any stored info (ie not in RAM). Antutu shows IO score as 50!!!!!! Full flash w/ wipe, full format SD partition, does not fix. I have no idea what it could be.

I RUU back to stock and Antutu shows IO of 400. I flash leedroid over it and snappiness remains, antutu similar score. I am NOT going to nandroid it this time lol

My stock RUU is RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.26.980.3_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251942_signed

This happened to be twice so I can say I was able to reproduce the error.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderStick:
I am looking for a list of android device names

Machine Model Name and Device name

Most are different

Example

Thunderbolt / mecha

An app I am making requires me to figure out what device the app is on then pull data from a data base according to the device.

The problem I have is this app needs to support any device. By doing this I figured I can pull the device name from the build.prop

value of ro.product.device

and use this string as the indication for what device it is installed on.

Unless there is an easier way, I need to be able to convert the device name to a model name because all of the data I have already compiled is by model name.:o And recompiling for over 100 devices just is not possible.

Any help is appreciated

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLSGS2beast:
I flashed a I9100 firmware on my I9100M on bell and now I don't have the M on the bootlogo anymore. Also, the bell stock download mode start directly to downloading, but now it ask for downloading or cancel with volume up/down.

Does anybody have a way to fix this (like have the original boot.bin, sbl.bin and param.lfs from bell firmware I9100MUGKG2) because I downloaded the original firmware and these files are not included.

If you have a rooted I9100M running stock firmware, use this step and upload me the file please:

adb shell

$ su

# dd if=/dev/block/stl6 of=/sdcard/param.lfs bs=4096

or you can use terminal emulator if you prefer (remove adb shell).

The param.lfs will be in your internal sd card.

But if you have all the file I ask (if you did a nandroid backup with CWM before upgrading or modding the phone), please upload for me.

I need warranty and now my phone isn't stock.

Thankx

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
OK I think I figured this out, I found out the partitions to backup by listing them by name

root@android:/sdcard # ls -l /dev/block/platform/dw_mmc/by-name/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 12 21:24 CACHE -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p7
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 12 21:24 DATAFS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 20 May 12 21:24 EFS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 May 12 21:24 UMS -> /dev/block/mmcblk0p11

Then I just did a dd on partitions 2 and 3 I didn't do the param because I have modified my boot logo and know enough from changing it before Hellcats easy app to know it is not specific to the phone since it has all variant logos at the same time and it shows the correct one by file name.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbzgod:
Lol I was on the toliet and found the directory too, I already found out that the MMCBLK's where the data to dump and was cross refernceing from PIT file information, but then low and behold looking by name confirmed for sure which one, however how did you extract the exact data from those mmcblocks? , when I do a data partition dump, it dumps the whole partition so for example the param.lfs partition is 8MBs, how were you able to access the specific data and convert it/get it out of those blocks?, I will need to repeat this process on my family members phone so that I can get the param file, also how did you tar them up so that they are Odin flash-able?.

Also will it be fine to flash both sbl 1 and 2 bins just as they are and will Odin properly flash them in the correct sections? or should I just use sbl1 to be safe and rename it to sbl.bin ?(since that is how it comes in firmware packages etc)

In my picture here I was using Yaffs Explorer app but the options are very limiting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shadowofdarkness:
I didn't do anything special and those should be entire partition images. I doubt that tar is Odin flashable since the filenames will be off. I just put them in a tar.bz2 by right clicking the files on my Desktop and selecting compress since xda wouldn't allow me to attach bin files
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbzgod:
Ah okay, yeah thats what I was able to do as well just got copys of the partitions from 2 ways, one was using the partition raw dump that makes a .raw file from within Yaffs Explorer, and the second was just using the shell cmds

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/param.lfs

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p2 of=/sdcard/Sb1l.bin

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 of=/sdcard/Sbl2.bin

So now im thinking that they probably arnt Odin flash-able and what I will half to do is just:

dd if=/sdcard/param.lfs of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 to copy them over? or would that be bad/corrupt the the mmc partitions?

The raw data dumps from Yaffs Explorer makes them just to be their names mmcblk0p4.raw so would it be better to just use those raw dumps instead when copying over to the dev/block section?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jerrygooch:
Hey, I've been reading around the forums and it seems there are 3 main radio's to choose from. I plan on testing them all in depth. It seems results vary from phone to phone especially with the UCLC5 Modem (from the Note). I was wondering if other users would post their results I'm curious to how your phones are handling these modems and what your opinion on them are.

UCLA4 (from the original leak)- I started with this one. I felt like my speeds and signal didn't reflect what my bars indicated. It felt like it said I had more than what I had. I don't recall my speeds but I intend to test this radio more in depth tomorrow.

UCLC5 (modem from the Note)-The note radio is what I have been using since it was posted here. While my radio seems to show less bars I tend to get better signal. 2-4 megs down and 1-2 megs up on HSPA+. I have yet to have noticed anything strange with it.

UCLD2 (from the 2nd leak)-I haven't gotten to test this radio yet since I've had connectivity issues all day.

I think these are all the ICS modems. feel free to post any I missed.

essential I'm trying to get a general idea on the modem with the best speed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Kenneth.Torres:
Personally I think the new UCLD2 radio is much improved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
Newest leak is working the best for me so far. Signal looks weaker in the notification bar but my connection is much more solid than it used to be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] creedicd:
I agree with shepherd the latest leak works the best.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cdshepherd:
the best thing for everyone to do is to try them all yourself. I think everyone's phone reacts the the modems differently. A modem that kicks ass for me may suck ballz for you. Also once I flash a radio I always use it for a day or two before making any judgements as to whether its an improvement or not.

Edit: forgot to mention that my decive picks up wifi signal better as well. Not sure if that's even a modem thing or something else Sammy changed in the latest ics leak but I sure do like it

[Verizon Droid Charge] rossdret:
I have a rooted Samsung Droid Charge and have been enjoying wireless tether programs for awhile. I am still grandfathered in an unlimited data plan with Verizon so it's great. I don't pay for cable internet anymore and 4G is faster than what I was getting.

The only problem was I lost my Wireless network that I enjoyed with cable internet and wireless router and the benefits that come with it (DLNA server, print server etc). Also not all my devices (namely PS3) recognize ad hoc networks (although I did find a wireless tether program that the PS3 recognized)

Basically I want my wireless network back and not have to tether my phone every time to each device.

So I finally found a SOLUTION! The GR 1733 Sapido router. Supposedly you can USB tether or wireless tether your smartphone to it and I can get my wireless network back. Only problems some people are successful and talk about how easy it is, where I am having problems setting it up. I want to either USB tether or wireless tether. When I set to wirelessly tether the SAPIDO router recognizes my Smartphones network but when apply the settings the Sapido router disappears from available networks.

Has anyone found any solution to create a wireless network using whatever equipment and the Droid Charge for internet?

[Verizon Droid Charge] rossdret:
In the past i used PDANet but went to opengarden for the wireless tether functionality and then to wifi tether because it allowed me to connect to my PS3.

The only problem with PDANet is you need to tether to a computer with the software. I want to tether to a router so I can have a wireless network. Wireless Print, DNLA servers etc.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Either A:

Internet Connection Sharing from a computer connected to phone either with wifi or usb tether, then out of the computer and into your router.

Or B:

Additional router, configured as wifi client or bridge to phone, into your main router. Phone must be set up in infrastructure for this to work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rossdret:
I would more than likely go with A: I use WIFI tether from my Samsung Droid Charge to connect my computer to the internet. I then connect a wireless router to my computer via USB or Ethernet cable? Then enable Internet Connection Sharing.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Connect wan port of router to laptop ethernet.

Enable ICS.

the ethernet port on laptop will provide internet to whatever is connected to that port as long as you are getting wifi from phone.

Not hard, but laptop won't be on the same network as stuff connected to router, so I dunno if you can share files from the laptop.
