[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn3aks:
Hello All,

I am a noob.

So I am looking into going back to GB 2.3.5

I have flashed stock ICS Netherlands XWLP7 and I have downloaded the firmware of my country.

Which is: GT-I9100_EGY_I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4.tar.md5

And kernal: Kernel_I9100JPKJ2.tar.md5

I have a question, it has been explained to me that I need to flash these files using odin+flashing a PIT file and using re-partition.

I could not find a PIT file? where do I get it from to go along with my firmware?

And, do I need to flash a Modem?

Is it possible for the kind soul thats going to answer my questions to put it in 1,2, 3 steps so I can understand what do to first?

I.E

1- Flash kernal

2- Flash firmware

or what?

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
@ Sn3aks:

What is the reason you are downgrading to GB?

What is the condtion of your phone now?

Who advised you to use pit file?

---------- Post added at 10:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 AM ----------

the firmware package you have mentioned already contains a kernel, no need of flashing kernel seperately..that is uploaded in the thread for future use when you needed to flash after rooting.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn3aks:
Thanks for your reply.

I am downgrading cause GB is more stable than ICS. Music player lags with some songs

Random crashes

I can not modify the in-call headset/handset volume from the servicemode. If you click Audio it doesnt come up with anything. And the in-call voice through earphones is really low

And other stuff that annoyed me and I couldnt remember.

The noticeable improvement in ICS is battery life and performance is fast

What is the condtion of your phone now?

My phone is ok, working fine, making calls, going over the internet normaly, IMEI is valid. Not rooted. Binary count = NO

Faryaab advised me to use a PIT file. I checked the guide in your signature and I read that anyone who asks about PIT file is a moron. Is this my case? :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
I dont think PIT file is required in your case,

You can try without using PIT first.

GT-I9100_EGY_I9100JPKJ2_I9100OJPKJ1_I9100XXKI4.tar.md 5

select above file from PDA of ODIN.

Do a factory reset before flashing...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn3aks:
Thank you. But where do I get a PIT file from, in case I need it?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
the firmware package you selected does not require and include a PIT file

.PIT refers to the partition information table you only need it if you screw up your partition table or if the firmware specifically requires it because of a change in the partition table layout. It's very likely you may never have to use this.

If the package only contains one .tar archive then it will have everything, pda+phone+csc, in the one file.

this is what Guide says, there is no difference in partition table layout between GB and ICS, since you have laready flashed ICS on an GB without using PIT,

Also currently you have not Screwed up your partition table layout...since your phone is booting and working fine.....
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sn3aks:
Thank you. Will try this and report back with the result

i used to have the S2 (until about 30min ago) with the case math tough on it

the Note is bigger thats why case will make it even bigger

i look for a strong case to protect my new note but not to dig a new hole in my pocket, any advice?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] squicky:
I have this one and I can recommend it: http://www.amazon.com/S-Line-Samsun...5DR4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1335388895&sr=8-8

Good grip, not to big, keeps shape very well. I'm to afraid to hold SGN in my hands without it :D

But I didn't bought mine on Amazon so be careful, because this one seems too cheap. I gave for mine something like $7.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories] smalmagal:
I have the same thing, except mine is red and 10 dollars more expensive! It's a BoxWave case...and I can't recommend it enough. You get to keep the form factor, it adds a much needed grip, and the little lip on the front is good if you want to lie your phone face down.

http://www.amazon.com/BoxWave-Samsu..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1335394337&sr=1-4

I was looking at the Reiko cases, and for the price point it looks like it offers great protection, but turns your phone into a brick...literally.

Go to Dim-Phone in Tel-Aviv, Even Gvirol, they have Case Mate Smooth for arround 150 nis - fairly strong, and not adding bulk to the phone. I'm happy with this thing. Same thing at Ebay sells for about 30$, so not big difference. As alternative - Momax cases, cheap and good.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GeneralSky2004:
I've never actually asked what this is or how to do it. I am running Blazer 4.1. I am trying to get the best battery life, while maintaining decent performance. I'm currently running SetCPU profiles:

Battery < 70% = 1.0Ghz

Battery < 30% = 800Mhz

Screen Off = 500Mhz

All running "on demand". Battery life is already fantastic, but I'm always up for that extra bit. Would under voting a little help? If so, how do I do this?

I appreciate you guys who know your **** dealing with us clueless people around here. :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sol_671:
I don't think blazer 4.1 could undervolt because it only has a stock kernel, try downloading gunslinger kernel to be able to undervolt using SETCPU. As for my experience since the galaxy s days( was able to undervolt by -175) undervolting wouldn't drastically improve your battery life, probably just by 5 percent but likely end up sacrificing performance and instability. I think the governor plays a bigger part on battery savings and battery drain. This is from experience and there was also an article about this on the nexus forums.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ttrain721:
Flash one of Calk's uv scripts and you're done. Like Sol said you need a custom kernel first.

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lajbymester:
Hi everyone,

I was using GingerDX for 2 months on stock kernel, and it was really slow. Apps launched slowly (took 3-4 seconds at least), when i pulled down the statusbar it was very laggy, animations were laggy etc. I had only 40-50 MB free RAM even when i closed every running apps and unnecessary services, and it restarted the launcher everytime i pressed the home button. So the whole ROM was very slow (I even overclocked it to 710 MHz).

Yesterday I installed the stock 2.1 ROM and it is freaking smooth compared to GDX, no lag, launcher doesn't restart, I have around 80 MB free RAM when nothing is running, and it goes down to 50 MB when i run 3 foreground apps and more background apps at the same time, and touch is way more responsible. I didn't even overclock it.

I haven't tried any other custom ROM. Is GingerDX really that slow? I don't believe, because it is very popular. So what is the reason it runs way slower than 2.1? Maybe because I have stock kernel? I really want to use this ROM since it has so many features.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
Hi Lajbymester ,

Welcome to the community.

Please take some time to Introduce Yourself and read FORUM RULES.

Hope you enjoy your stay here, and help others in the future.

I beg to disagree. GDX is popular because it is a very good ROM. Please do try fullwipe, then flash the ROM as instructed in GDX first page. :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lajbymester:
Thanks for the welcome :)

I have already full wiped and reinstalled the ROM about 5 times, used all versions from v021 and it didn't get any smoother.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscoitu:
Hi,

For now, I´ll just ask you to give us some more information. Could you post what do you use on your phone?? Even in stock kernel I´ve never felt laggy on GingerDX.

With fresh install, what did you change? Undervolt? OC? I remember that ppl had issues on Stock Kernel and GingerDX running with OC module from doixahn. Try to see if the Rom you are using is undervolted or not.

Will you try it on Custom Kernel?

BTW, which laucher are you using on it?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lajbymester:
I flashed doixanh's OC module and it seems i used the Undervolt too because it is integrated into the ROM. I can't flash a custom kernel because my phone's manufacturing date is 11W48 so it would be a brick. I'm using GO Launcher EX.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deedii:
No we mean the step you do. What are the step you do and setting you do to your phone?
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscoitu:
try removing the OC and UV modules, and I suggest you to use Laucher Pro, it seems to be smother than other lauchers I ever tried.

To remove both OC and UV just open a root File Explorer (ES File Explorer has root access), go to /system/lib/modules and delet x8oc.ko and x8uv.ko if I´m not wrong. Them you test the rom again and see if you get better performance :D
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lajbymester:
It seems to be a bit faster now, I'm not sure yet :)

I got some free RAM with RAM Manager Pro, now i have the same as on stock ROM.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biscoitu:
Well...I didn´t use any app to kill process or manage RAM on my phone, and It is smooth enough for me without OC :D. I´m using MiniCM right now, but it was the same on GingerDX :)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lajbymester:

hey guys !!

gonna buy a device soon !

but i am confused between the lg nitro hd and the htc vivid 4g ?

pls help me decide !

what i would mainly consider

hardware (mainly for gaming and videos)

custom roms (ics mainly :D )

battery life

build quality

any other thing i would've missed :p
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jirv311:
You're asking this in the Vivid forum so obviously we're going to the Vivid. Even if I wasn't biased, I'd say the Vivid over the LG. But might as well wait a week for the One X release at this point.

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] brucegil:
The One X might be a step down - no micro SD card, no removable battery. Yes, it will come with ICS and Sense 4, but the new Vivids being sold now probably have ICS (with Sense 3.6), or should.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aaki_rocker:
i asked in both the forums ! :D lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aaki_rocker:

what would prefer ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] austin4913:
I have had the Vivid since the day it was released and have no regrets. LG makes some products very well...I have LG washer and dryer, DVD player...in my opinion they are far behind in comparison to HTC..but I am somewhat biased towards HTC after having an LG phone after my departure from the iPhone...I thought iPhone was the bomb until I tried android...no comparison..I too am not interested in the One X, not because of price but the battery and sd card issue..if I wanted that I would have stayed with apple...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
i'd say vivid we have a batter camera in my opinion and we have better roms also in my opinion. also we have ics. i am also a fan of the sense UI over any other android UIs. also LGs history with phone updates is pretty terrible. The Nitro HD wasnt even a option when choosing the Vivid.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] cruzin_cruzing:
The Vivid has a stronger dev community than the Nitro. Plus I would prefer HTC Sense anyday over LG's interface.

i've actually owned both the nitro and the vivid.

First i had the vivid. then i read up on the nitro's specs and decided to exchange it. i regretted it within a day and ended up getting the vivid again.

the camera is terrible (like really terrible, worse than 1st iphone terrible)

the phone is plain

the screen is the only thing the phone has over the vivid, and it's not a significant difference.

if you want the 1.5ghz clock than use a kernel that puts it to it's default value (htc underclocks for battery life) an hey you can go to 1.7 if you wanted to as well.

get the vivid, trust me lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aaki_rocker:
thanks a bunch guys !! :D

definately getting the vivid now !!

and is there anyone who had any issues with the device (software, hardware) any bricks or so ?

and also i would like to know whether vivid supports .mkv in the ics update (i know gb doesnt :( )

thanks... :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] zacgoesrawr:
i don't know if it natively does.. but you can get MX Player or something like that, and it'll play it. Also, i've never actually "bricked" my device i've messed everything up seriously multiple times but very easy to come back from it :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] aaki_rocker:
yeap mx player does the job ! :D

but you know it is always better to have default video encoding support !

anyways, i am going for the vivid ! :D

is my choice legit ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ccb101:
My only suggestion is to not use cwm recovery or twirp recovery and use wcxrecovery.

I was going to post this as a reply to the "Rooting My HTC Vivid At&T on Android 4.0.3 ICS" thread, but I decided to make it a new thread because it touches on a number of current threads.

Any chance someone will update or add to the Superguide because of all the changes and improvements that have occurred? (Not to mention the all-in-1 tool if it is still relevant.)

For those of who have never messed with a phone OS, but might want to, or who have managed to mess up their phone, we really need a consolidated, current and COMPLETE guide. Also, please explain the terms and acronyms that the devs know but some of us do not.

I read these threads each day, and I have gotten a lot from some of them. But with the ongoing changes, and with the ongoing crashes that people need help on, the correct methods and fixes are scattered over hundreds of posts in dozens of threads. I have seen some that are useful, but I don't think they can take me from step 1 to the end successfully. They tend to address only specific scenarios.

This will take time for someone, but if it eliminates some bricked phones, and eliminates a bunch of new threads, it would be worth it. And it needs to be pinned, so it won't be buried on page 3 in a couple of days. There's probably a lot of good stuff back on page 40, but who's going to go find it.

The experts say, "search" and "read the threads." Well, I have. And I doubt anyone with my lack of experience would find all the changes and updates that have occurred since the Superguide was done.

I am not criticizng the Superguide. It is exactly the type of thing we need. It just needs to be made current. And someone needs to make sure that nothing is assumed. I am afraid the Development forum is too technical for me in most cases. I know the real work is done there, but someone over here needs to make sense (no pun intended) of it all.

I hope I have not offended anyone.
