[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blowtorch:
Cyanogenmod 9 has been stable for months now as they have been focusing on it as a main priority. Not to mention obvious extra features that they have been adding once they have been deemed stable. I use GLaDOS kernel and easily get 3x the battery life and way faster than any stock rom's kernel. Custom kernels like GLaDOS and Lean Kernel never had the "signal drop" issue with 4.0.4 because they patched it in their kernels a along time ago.

Root doesn't add any functionality that you are interested in? Have you heard of LBE Privacy Guard? https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5sYmUuc2VjdXJpdHkubGl0ZSJd

Dev's only improve on stock as far as i am concerned. I donate and support devs because of the enhancements that they make in making this phone better. You are not getting all you can out of your phone if you're on stock ...

like you said to each his own ...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
The tools are available for the latest update. If you don't want to take it into your own hands then you really can't complain about it if you're unwilling to fix it yourself.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Yes, I am waiting for OTAs. Modifying my primary means of communication scares the crap out me, espeically with the chance of making it a $300 paperweight. I understand that tens of thousands of people modify their Android devices every day without issue, and the risk of bricking is extremely low. However, there is still a risk and due to that, I choose to wait. The reward does not outweigh the risk for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] number3pencil:
I just gotta say this. THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO INSTALL A CUSTOM ROM. NONE. ZERO.

Why do you think android is open source? The arguments against rooting/unlocking and installing a custom rom are laughable. If you run stock, and complain about not being on the cutting edge, you have to realize that this is YOUR choice.

AOKP M5 will be JUST AS STABLE as stock, but with better performance, battery life, customization, etc.

If you are still on 4.0.2/4.0.3 you have nobody to blame buy yourself.

---------- Post added at 05:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

If you use the toolkits to root/unlock, and flash custom roms, the risk of bricking your phone is 0%. This is assuming that your phone is not a lemon.

There is NO risk to rooting/flashing custom roms, ZERO. Even if you did something stupid like pull your battery while flashing something, you can ALWAYS restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
I have flashed multiple gb roms with this same issue. My phine will power down at the least opportune times (at night and its my alarm clock). It can only be fixed by a battery pull and nothing else. Anyone know a solution to this, or even why it happens? Im desperate :-(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Oskiee:
Have you tried doing a super wipe between flashes?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] G1ForFun:
Lionheart works fine. Smartass v2 is a mess.

OP, what is your min clockspeed?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
Thanks, ill try that after work today :-) i didnt superwipe althoigh i have the file so ill try that and reflash my rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr1ncred1ble:
I have this same issue but no solution. It happens about 2 times a month, not enough to bother me but I have to pull the battery to get working again. I am using Juggs 5.0 with CPU tuner and the sophisticated profile minimum clock is 192 Max is 1512. I did do a super wipe before flashing and cleared caches and so forth. I was using gingersnap rom before and I wanna say it was happenening then too but I could be wrong. I always assumed it was something to do with the cpu settings, usually happens when I start an app shortly after waking the device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Dont clock to 192. 384 is the min
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
My min clock speed is 192, and i am on jugg 5.0, but have had the same issue with foxstar and another rom that i cant remember. I havent messed with oc/uv settings, and have even eliminated my setcpu screen off profile so it wont happen in theory while not in use. Usuly it happens while being used in non-cpu-intensive apps like dolphin of tapatalk.

I have since cleared dalvik and cache (again) and it hasnt happened yet after a few hours. Only time will tell!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
Like I said, don't clock that low
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
Looks like the cpu values arent the problem. I also fixed permissions and it died soon after i turned up my min values. A superwipe, kernel cleanse and reflash seem to be in order!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
Its been a full day since a sleep of death (if that is whatever you call it)... After extensive searching i found the fix permissions script and it seems to have worked. Thanks again for you help. Question answered!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mr1ncred1ble:
For the record I raised my min to 384 but didn't solve the problem. Happened this morning surfing the web using Dolphin HD. Like I said tho, doesn't happen often enough to make me mad, and I don't think I'll be running this rom too much longer :cool:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
What kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] auldthief:
wow! U da man!

I'm having the same problem with my SGS2? can you tell me the exact sequence? maybe we should make it a sticky, as I have seen many threads with the same problem but no definite solution!

Possible fix for the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 Sleep of Death.

Hey I had to work on a couple of phones just like your phone. After a couple of weeks with the phone, I found this out by accident and maybe it can help. Instead of just writing down the steps I made a video let me know if it works. I was able to reproduce on a couple of phones but don't know for sure if it is just a luck.

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] jschall:
I just got the official OTA upgrade from unrooted 3.2.1 to 4.0.3. (Acer_AV041_A100_1.014.00_WW_GEN1)

Has anyone tried to apply the old rooting procedures to this new OS?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aznmode:
You should be able to use ZeroNulls method in the development thread. It works for all the ICS versions. Including the .14 leak and OTA which are the same exact.

Also next time download OTA rootkeeper app and protect root before you update and you can restore root after OTA. This only work if you OTA though. If you flash through recovery then you def have to use Zeronull. But this is the surest way to maintain root if for some reason the OTA is unrootable with adb method.

[HTC Sensation] SyLvEsTeR20007:
Hi guys.

I am trying to sort out a few issues with my AOKP, The notification bar at the top doest match my hearts requirement for a more green look. I want to change the colour of the carrier name, the date, the bar that seperates the date from the notifications. I also want to change the colour of the signal bars and the little H or what ever type of netowrk im connected too.

I would also like to change the text colour of all items in the settings menus. I know its probably alot of work and will require decompiling the framework_res.apk but im cool with that, I just dont know where I am looking to find the places I need to make my changes.

Let me know.

Maybe there is an app out there for doing this but I have not found it yet.

many thanks in advance.
[Desire General] ledzgio:
Hi all,

I have a big problem with my desire. I was unable to start my desire (S-ON, never rooted) so I have decided to downlod RUU:

RUU_Bravo_Froyo_HTC_WWE_2.29.405.5_Radio_32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27_release_159811_signed.exe

booted in fastboot with vol- + power and ran the above file but the process has failed so I had to reboot and since that moment I don't have fastboot menu anymore and I just see the 4 triangles screen. I can still connect phone to PC (windows 7) and run RUU file but everytime it fails with 152 error and "Radio_V2 Fail-PU" error (I can see the RUU process when I disconnect the USB cable, when I connect the cable again the RUU disappear and I see again the black screen with HTC and 4 triangles). I have also tried RUU_HTC Desire Android 2.3 Upgrade (Gingerbread).exe but no lucks.

Any suggestion on how to get my desire working again?

any help is really really appreciated,

many thanks
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Already checked bortak's troubleshooting guide (see my sig).

[Desire General] ardsar:
Guess what - i have the exact same problem!

However if i go through the recovery procedure, sometimes the Radio image flashes ok, however during boot up, the phone is stuck on the htc white start up screen. If i flash the RUU again, i end up with the radio error.

HELP!!!
[Desire General] cgorki:
please tell (and how) if you are successful!!
[Desire General] mtbiker_kev:
i got exactly the same problem! has anyone any idea how to solve this?

thx
[Desire General] MatDrOiD:
Radio-bricks are currently unfixable. Unless one can flash 2.3.3 RUU, which is the last hope.
[Desire General] ledzgio:
Tried 2.3.3 RUU but nothing changed...I have tried everything I can think of!
[Desire General] brandall:
I pulled my old Desire out of a draw yesterday as I need it as a test device - Exactly the same situation with RADIO_V2 - FAIL-PU

I've tried so many different RUUs, but all fail... Stumped after hours and hours of messing and searching.

If anyone manages to resolve this without returning to HTC, please do post!
[Desire General] docnasef:
same here...

alas

also have same problem

tried all...

also posted about it here

no go....

hope someone can fix this..

funny thing is :

was using botrak's troubleshooting guide

and it was there that was suggested to flash android 2.3 gingerbread ruu

i think that should be mentioned to be condemned

because once you flash that you can NOT downgrade again if anything goes wrong

as is obvious from our cases!!

really hope someone cracks this!

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:23 AM ----------

You can try flashing an individual standalone radio image from those that rom cookers provide in dev thread :)
[Desire General] x3m.zone:
For anyone who is looking for the solution or a similiar one.. just install all the drivers on the net for the htc desire (at least i installed everything i could find). Go to htcdev.com website, register for free, and get a copy of the ruu for desire gingerbread. Attach the phone to the pc, turn it on, wait until the pc recognizes the phone and get the ruu_xxx.exe running. Solved!

Hope I came useful to some one.

Another way: Relock bootloader

fastboot oem lock

and then install the corect RUU
[Desire General] raffazila:
so far no one help on this issue.so its bricked?
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
Try flashing the 2.3 RUU through the pb99img method. Get it in my sig.
[Desire General] zdravke:
I have the same problem and this method does not work either. I simply don't get a prompt to install anything from the card. File is in the root and sd formated as fat.
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
What is the exact error you're getting?
[Desire General] zdravke:
There is no error, I can't boot into bootloader. Phone goes straight into fastboot, no matter what I do.
[Desire General] Saf98:
So it goes into fastboot can't you navigate to bootloader?
[Desire General] jmcclue:
Hes got /!\ in corners, ruu mode, plus radio fail.
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
That's what I thought.

Most times, people saying "I have the same problem" don't have the same problem...

Hi guys I have a problem with every sense 3.5 rom: if I send sms with accents and special characters people with some phones (for example Desire with original 2.2 rom or crappy normal phones (example those 20eur Samsung phones.Black and white phones like nokia 1100 work fine) either receive my sms with strange characters or can't open it.

In sense 3 and 4 this doesn't happen.

If I untick the option special characters they receive fine...but that way I can't send words with accents.any better solution?

Root all of your friends phones and install custom rooms that support these characters.

Hi everyone,

My apologies if these issues can be solved by searching, I have tried and have spent many days already trying to sort out these issues then more keep arising.

Issue #1: Battery drain

I have the dreaded Android OS/kworker/wakelock bug - I'm losing 100% battery life within 6 hours and there seems to be nothing I can do about it. I'm planning on doing a full wipe of the phone and trying a reinstall of the OS to see if this solves the issue - but that brings me to issue #2

Issue #2 - Phone is not connecting to PC via USB

I am trying to do a backup and obviously flash my phone once the backup is done with the stock ROM for my phone (I am running a stock ROM at the moment but a clean version rather than the one from my provider loaded with rubbish) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1602579 - the phone will not connect to the PC via Kies USB, it is charging via the USB but Windows reports "Driver installation failed" when it attempts to install the USB drivers to use the phone in mass storage mode.

I have tried in debug mode (it's on right now) if anyone was going to ask that.

Currently running 4.0.3 Official

Download mode DOES work and drivers install fine (Odin gives yellow box)

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling KIES

Going to see if I can connect it via Wifi now to try and get all my stuff off - even if it is slowly :/

Thank you everyone for any help - I am rather upset that my phone which has worked perfectly up until now has suddenly gained 2 major issues at once - one of which cancels out me sorting out the other :<
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOGMD:
i had similar issue,

uninstall kies, install USB drivers ONLY... restart

try different usb cables, make sure MTP is enabled if ur using a custom rom, on resurrection before 1.5 you had to run a few commands in terminal, thats what made it work for me! :)
