Can I use my Galaxy S2 battery on the GNexus GSM?

I'm asking because I have a spare OEM GS2 battery and I'm getting my little sister a GNexus GSM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1_enthusiast:
I think they are different size, I know the Verizon gnexus battery will fit
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] androidtoy09:
Yeah, I just did a little research. It seems that the GSM Nexus and Verizon Nexus use different batteries. Too bad :o

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Wild Child:
if wanting to flash the twerp recovery,i got a report of it bricking a phone earlier today....if your wanting to flash an older version of cwm it corrupts some of the memory partitions onn the phone....end choice is yours but you have been warned
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] GSLEON3:
Listen, I ported a version of TWRP 2 many months ago for personal use. I also have seen the source for the standard CWM used for the Vivid.

I can tell you one thing for certain. There are issues in the (Big issues in the first few releases, but there always are in new developments), but there still are a few issues & some features that just don't work in CWM.

In TWRP, there are also issues & that is why I abandoned it & never released anything. The TWRP recovery is neat because it is fully touch capable. However, there are issues with the current version that cause boot loops & the inability to enter into bootloader, fastboot or recovery. TWRP has also been known to cause some format errors for device internal storage.

It is my learned opinion, that the best recovery for the Vivid to date is the wcxrecovery. If you were to contact AmonRa & ask him who is one of the best still making recoveries (since he has pretty much retired from the task) he would tell you that GinM is one of the best guys to build the recovery. GinM is who built the WCX recovery. It has as many or more features than any other recovery available for the Vivid & more importantly, the wcxrecovery is built from scratch using Vivid source. It is not a ported recovery, it is a true Vivid built custom recovery with many functions.

The latest CWM recovery is okay. It is a decent recovery that does the basics. TWRP is neat, but still just a novelty at this point & I can tell you first hand that it causes issues, some serious, as of version 2.1.1.

WCXRecovery works solidly, has never caused me any of the issues that the others have, it can root a rom & has many developer friendly functions.

If you care more about Bells & Whistles than performance, then you can install any recovery over wcx. The only recovery that you cannot flash over was the first CWM release.

Flashing a recovery is as easy as using fastboot & typing a few commands or using a bat script. But why you would want to sacrifice performance for one feature (Touch Screen), is a bit beyond me.

TWRP has potential. But it is just not there yet & CWM is just missing too many of the features that dev's use, not too mention the backup options available with wcxrecovery.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Kurrytacos:
The reason why I'm asking is because I used the all-in-one toolkit but it didnt root my phone and I just pressed flash wildchilds recovery and now I have it. Now there is a newguide showing how to root but I'm afriad I might brick my phone since it already has this recovery. The guide basically says to flash wcx recovery which I already have. Do u guys now If I do it again it might brick it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ratworks:
You won't brick your phone by flashing the wcxrecovery again - it's just this command:

fastboot flash recovery wcxrecovery.img

in a command window.

You must be in the folder containing the wcxrecovery.img file, and fastboot.exe should be either there in the folder or in your PATH.

But, if you already have it, why flash it again?

---------- Post added at 04:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:20 PM ----------

GSLEON3 makes a good technical case for using the WCX recovery - I also think it's really easy to use and well designed.

You can use the touch buttons to browse thru the menus -

Home: Up,

Menu: Down,

Back: Back, and

Search: Select/Confirm

Anytime it asks you to press Power to confirm, you can just tap the search button.

That's enough 'touch' functionality for me, and when it comes to tools like recovery's, eye-candy is pretty much irrelevent.
[Android Themes] maciek82:
Guys, I went back and started running Android 2.3.3 on my phone again. I started creating a theme for it and for the last 2 days I cannot figure out why my status clock color won't change. I read all the posts about changing it, but it just doesn't work. I modified my status_bar.xml to reflect the color I want and I still end up with a white clock. The date changes but not the clock.

<com.android.systemui.statusbar.Clock android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon" android:textColor="#ff2686ab" android:gravity="left|center" android:paddingRight="6.0dip" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:singleLine="true" />

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Android Themes] maciek82:
Any help? Is there a better place to ask this question?
[Android Themes] nikosrs4:
see where it says "android:textAppearance="@android:style/TextAppearance.StatusBar.Icon"

go to res/values/styles.xml and find that line, try to change it from there..maybe it will work. There is a possibility that your rom handles differently the clock color because many roms have options to change that.
[Android Themes] maciek82:
All the styles xml has:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<resources>

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.Title" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Panel">

<item name="android:textAppearance">?android:textAppearanceSmall</item>

<item name="android:textStyle">bold</item>

<item name="android:textColor">@drawable/notification_header_text_color</item>

</style>

<style name="TextAppearance.StatusBar.IntruderAlert" parent="@android:style/Theme.Holo.Light.Panel" />

</resources>

Sorry, I'm not a dev so this doesn't come that easy to me.
[Android Themes] maciek82:
Bump.

Spend hours and hours on figuring this out, still no luck :(

At this point I changed every FFFFFFFF I found in systemui to a different value, clock is still white....
[Android Themes] Habarug:
Decompile the framework-res.apk, I think the statusbar.icon style is there ;) You see that it says "android:" first? That indicates that it is in the framework-res ;) If it is @ instead it is in the apk you decompiled ;)

[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
I'm tired of looking for an answer to this seemingly simple question on google and searching on here. I've had at least 5 tabs open for the last hour combing through posts and replies.

Question is this: A500 running thor's v14.2 rom along w/ his custom kernel. To revert back to stock. Do I need to flash back to the stock kernel along w/ the stock rom. If so, where can I get the kernel from?! The closest thing I came across was a post that gave the source link where you had to build the kernel yourself.
[Acer Iconia A500] ztotherad:
did you make a nandroid of your ROM before you flashed the current ROM youre on?
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
of course not! lol. I was too excited to play around w/ it that I neglected the basics. And honestly, I've been putting off reverting back because I'm quite happy w/ thor's rom.
[Acer Iconia A500] ztotherad:
haha, youre on the HC bootloader arent you?
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
yep. haven't touched the bootloader. just flashed the rom and kernel.
[Acer Iconia A500] ztotherad:
you may hafta install a rom thats just plain HC with root, like a 3.2.1 HC rom
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
would that allow for ota updates and such?

i believe so, yes, but you may want to ask someone with more experience than me, im good with phones, but tabs are a new thing to me
[Acer Iconia A500] smhism:
thanks! I found out that thor's kernel is supposed to work w/ the stock rom. so I'm just going to try loading a rooted stock and hope I don't brick it.

good luck bro!
[Acer Iconia A500] gfinockio:
I've also decided to head back to a stock ROM in both anticipation of the ICS update and to try and get video working with Skype. My problem is, I'm using a A501, which seems to be the unwanted red headed stepchild of the Iconia family!

I'm on a custom ROM (Moscow something-er-rather?) with CWM. Do I just find a copy of the stock ROM and flash like a custom? I just really want to be able to get OTA updates and hopefully solve my Skype video issues...

Thanks in advance!
[Acer Iconia A500] dibb_nz:
I see vache has a couple Full 3.2 Stock 501 roms on his thread here :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113878

i got a a500 and i assume you extract the update.zip and flash as per a500. Dont wanna put u wrong tho' so maybe ask moscow on his rom thread, he da man when it comes to the 501:cool:
[Acer Iconia A500] gfinockio:
Okay - I'm going to try and flash that update.zip and see what happens. My biggest concern is the lack of Skype video - I can only assume it has to do with the ROM flashed, and nothing else, because other people claim they are able to use Skype video.

Is there an official way to migrate between HTC devices other than the multiple manual ways for each application in specific?

If not how to migrate WhatsApp history while the One X doesn't have SD card? because all methods I've read online requires to copy the history from the SD card .

most (if not all) your apps and google stuff will be transfered over automatically through sense.com, android and google when setting up, but to be on the safe side why don't you copy your entire SD Card to your computer then transfer the things you want to the one x SD Card...

*It does have a 32gb SD Card (kind of) but it's non-removable but apart from that it can be used just the same as any other SD Card and can be seen on your pc when 'disk drive' is chosen :)

Guys,

I have a CM802 Android 2.2 tablet that I would like to support external USB devices. My problem right now is that the default ROM doesn't seem to have USB host drivers, and I have no idea where to look. Can you guys point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
I don't know your hardware, but your android version should have no support for both usb host mode and USB otg. If you upgrade and hardware is ready, maybe. But very likely you'll need the kernel USB modules sources and a dev to compile them especially for that build. That's why on my se xperia x10 such feature is still missing ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wrycu:
The hardware has support for it, and I don't care what version of Android I end up with, as long as there's support. I also don't mind installing them myself, but would like some direction as to where to find the modules.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justjeff:
have you tried going to the manufactures website?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You will need to compile a proper kernel with support for it. There have been a few on the site that have done it for a few devices but it is not an overly popular mod
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Well, I have just seen a site where they sell the android 2.3 version of the same device which seems to have the USB otg support. In any case, the first step must be one upgrading at least to android 2.3...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
the kernel would have been made to support it on that device. After building 2.3 from android source code I can say that it is not there by default.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucaoldb:
Thanks, I agree that is not supported by default but maybe they had actually patched a kernel with those modules, though such kind of sites are not very reliable...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wrycu:
Can you guys link me to the modules or whatever? Again, I'm perfectly willing to build the kernel from source myself, as long as I can have a little direction.

I dont think installing a Rom unlocks the bootloader there's a proper method on these forums to do it, I followed it and done mine with ease have a look in the development forum of the x10 and look for bootloader unlock method. Some roms run on locked bootloader and some are for unlocked because they need a specific kernel to run it ie: the cm7 roms need the FXP kernel if I remember rightly try unlocking the bootloader and give the kernel flash another go more than likely it will flash then

[General Questions and Answers] johnny9:
I have the Samsung Galaxy S 4G model no: SGH-T959V. I have it with T-mobile and paying prepaid $60 bucks a month. Ive been using my phone alot as a hotspot this past week since I had to disconnect my cable service. have used up 300MBs and no issues what so ever. I was told there was a limit of data when using your prepaid smartphone as a hotspot.

but if I go to my account, and then plan, then change additional services. theres an option at the bottom of the menu saying Smartphone mobile hotspot for $15.00. is that something different ? cause I havent been paying an extra 15 bucks a month to use as a hotspot. not complaining that i get to take advantage of it for free, but what is it that I might be doing different thats by passing it ? is it that particular model ? Just want to know so I know how to get around it again if I switch my sim to another phone. Thinking about upgrading to the Galaxy S2

Anyone ?
[General Questions and Answers] scared n00b:

[General Questions and Answers] johnny9:
I never got any message. I want to know how am i by passing that. if you check online with the prepaid you have to pay 15 bucks a month extra to use ur smartphone as a hotspot. well ive had the phone for over a year used it as a hotspot numerous times and have never paid the additional 15 a month. Someone told me today it might have to with my particular model. Not complaining here, sure im happy I get to use it as a hotspot for free. I just want to know how that is working incase I upgrade to the Galaxy S2. Are others capable of using their tmobile prepaid smartphone as a hotspot for free as well ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mpolanski:
Recently I had some problems with connecting Xperia S in fastboot mode. I've came out with the idea that after using 3 different Android phones for period of over 2 years, and using couple of ADB drivers, there might be a bit of a mess. Cleaning it up somehow helped in my case. If you have problem with drivers working, try this:

1. Make your Device Manager show you unsed drivers

- Right click on Computer and select Properties (either in start menu, or on your desktop if you have Computer icon there)

- Click Advance System Settings on the left panel

- Open Environment Variables

- Below User Variables box, click New

- In Variable Name type devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices

- In Variable Value put 1

- Close all of the windows mentioned by clicking OK

2. Find, and remove unused drivers in Device Manager

- In search field in Start menu, type devmgmt.msc, hit ENTER

Alternative way: right click Computer, select Properties, and click Device Manager on the left panel.

- In View menu, select Show hidden devices

- Now look in the tree for any phone related devices with faded icon. Those will be devices with SEMC, ADB, etc. in the name.

- Right click on device name

- Click Uninstall

Remember, that you can use this method to remove any of your old devices that you don't use any more, like USB sitcks, printers, monitors, mouses, etc.

Hoped it helps you as well.

1. Add the following line in /etc/udev/rules.d/51-android.rules (create the file if it doesnot exist)

SUBSYSTEMS=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="0fce", MODE="0666"

2. That's it now you can detect you Xperia S in you linux machine.

3. To run fastboot commands use the following structure..

./fastboot -i 0x0fce <options> <command>
