What are the best roms, kernels, tweaks, mods and pretty much everything else? Because right now I have the Valhalla Black Final rom, sms kj6 i think for the rom, and the universal adernaline shot. Is there anything that can make my phone faster, because the games still lag a little sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
I would use only the tweaks in VB, same kernel as you are now
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] falcons2:
I use vb and the booster shot for it and its really smooth
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
Oh yes, the booster. Sorry, I forgot to mention that
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
For gameplay I haven't found a ROM that beats icbinb, and all the necessary tweaks are already built into it to make it as good as it can be.

However my favorite ROM is unnamed, and with adrenaline shot 14.1 its as close to icbinbs game performance as I've ever seen. And with the sms-kj6-v0.1.1-rc1+ kernel from bhundvens original kernel thread, UV/OC at 1.2, its the most stable I've seen. Literally no reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ipaq_101:
Just curious why are you not using AS 15?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
What's the difference bw as and booster shot? And as for oc, doesn't as already take care of that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Because 14.1 works best for me. In my situation 14.1 is smoother than 15. I find updates don't always equal improvement.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
Booster is specifically for VB, AS is universal for most ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
I searched for the booster shot, but I cant find it. Can someone post the link?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Can it be used in addition to as, or are they pretty much the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You don't need both. DSexton wrote both of them. And most tweaks are written to delete or overwrite whatever else is in the folder.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
But if you have as, is the phone already overclocked, or do we have to do that ourselves? Would it just be the same thing?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You need tegrak ultimate to oc. The paid version of the app. And it is definitely worth the money to undervolt for battery sake.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Ok so right now I have Valhalla Black Final rom, SMS Kj6 kernel, and Adrenaline shot 14.1 mod. Do you think I should flash a modem? because I don't know what they do.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Different modems are generally said to work better in different parts of the country. Try a different one and see what you think. You can always flash back to KJ6 if you want. And hit thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mierkat09:
Alright thanks for the help. For anyone else, I am running Valhalla Black, KJ6 and Adrenaline Shot 14.1, and the phone is running very smooth and is very responsive.:D

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] 11290:
Was in local Sam's Club this afternoon and they had the current version, 16gb model of the Tab 10.1 for $315. Don't know if this is the same at all stores or not but was here in Evansville, IN. Staples was $349 and Best Buy was still at $399.

I know they are probably closing them out with the new version coming out but this is still a great price if someone can live with the current model.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
Is there a way to keep the E4GT on Internationally without worrying about coming home to a big Sprint bill?

I'm going out of the country for the first time and want to keep my phone on for the alarm clock function but want to prevent any data from being used (e.g.: apps using the 4G/3G signal in the background) that I could be billed for. Are there any settings I should be aware of besides turning off options related to roaming (settings>wireless & network>roaming)?

Also, to prevent apps from running in the background, how do you stop them from running? Do you force close them manually in Applications (not sure if they'll boot themselves back up after a certain time automatically)? Or could I just turn on Airplane mode and stop all Internet functions?

Any advice from seasoned travelers would be appreciated, thanks! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carlangas20:
Where are u going?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:
You can just leave it on. The odds that you are going to have any cdma service to roam on internationally, to even receive data charges are slim to none. I was just in Chile and had absolutely no service at all. None in Panama either.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
Bermuda :D

Were you on a cruise? :p
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erasable:
No. I was on a business trip. But in Bermuda you might have a chance of a signal. Your best bet is to call Sprint and see. Or airplane mode it. Just remember to set the time to compensate for the time difference if any, I'd you're going to use your alarm clock.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] skyo12:
You can do airplane mode or just go in to settings and turn off just the 3G data and set your voice roaming to "Sprint Only". 4G would obviously not work outside the US so no worries there. The above will still let you access wifi where airplane mode will turn all radios off.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JustLok:
I figured as much, just checked a map and noticed how close it is from the States. As prior answers go, I guess the safest choice is to Airplane mode it.

Thanks for the answer about that, having never traveled outside of the States, I wasn't sure.

Hi! I bought Streak 5. The problem is OS. When I want to install ROM or recovery there were problems.

I can't go with fastboot cause touch don't working and there is red line text: default NV checked #3.

When I'm trying to upgrade with .pkg file there is an error:

What I'm supposed to do now?

Please help!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lordmorphous:
Sound like maybe a bad internal sd card. Not the one under the battery cover, but one inside the phone. Do a search for replacement of internal sd card and you'll get several hits. One way involves taking the phone apart, the other involves cutting a piece of plastic out from under the battery cover to gain access. Not real difficult either way.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinkoza:
How inner SD should be formatted? And the size of the new one card should be the same of previous card?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfinsrq:
Read through this thread; http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1405920

In most cases, the Streak will automatically reformat a new internal SD card. I find most stability/speed with stock 2GB card. Read the entire thread!
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martinkoza:
@rsfinsrq thank you for the link but I've got problem with Clonezilla. I download stock innerSD image and Clonezilla. I go through few steps and I've got only two options in Clonezilla to save image, any to restore it. How to do it?
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfinsrq:
No need to use clonezilla. Just insert new SD card and the Streak will format it. Read the entire post! I inserted a 4gb micro sd into my streak (internal) and it self formatted when I booted it up. Perform a factory reset from recovery or restore your nandroid when it automatically reboots completing the format process. Also, 2gb card worked best for me. Long boot time and performance suffered with the class 10 4gb card. Ymmv.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] petran_7:
Hi guys,

I have lost an image,

I use a normal image as a wallpaper. One day I made a backup of my rom and flashed another. As you understand I wiped my sd card. Finally I didn't liked the new rom and restored my previous. Now I see that image as my wallpaper but it does not appear to be in my sd card. It is only set as my wallpaper. If I will change wallpaper I will lose this image once and forever.

I tryed to find that image again but with no result.

Is there any way to take this image from the system? For example via a file explorer.

Thank you.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmaster1:
Get root explorer (if your not rooted then you cant do this) goto system/wallpaper and it keeps that image there to hold until changed. It is different on some phones but with mine its system/wallpaper. Copy that image into your sd if you want and then your saved!!!

Connect your phone to Kies on your computer and it should automatically prompt you to upgrade. If that doesn't happen I would suggest you update the Kies software and manually check for any updates for your phone while your SGS II is connected. If it still doesn't work contact Orange.

As has been said no big difference really to the GB 2.3.5 but so far no issues.

(i did lose all my Home screens during the upgrade)

I am not a "power user" just used for general light browsing taking Pics etc.

But so far no show stoppers.

The jaring blue over scroll is gone from the stock browser so I can finally give it a go. Having said that the Chrome beta seems very nice too.

I like the ability to choose silent after vibrate when using the volume down key. I always missed that from my Desire.
