[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
No. If you don't pull the battery while the phone is running you won't fry your emmc.

Just backup your current system from recovery, do a full wipe (not sd card!!) And flash the ROM zip from recovery. If you unlocked with htcdev you need to flash the boot.img separately afterwards. Reboot. Done. It's simple like that.

Hi,

So im looking to mod the notification area background on ICS.

I've decompiled systemui but i cant seem to find a png for notification background to edit.

so in res/values/drawables.xml

i find this, which i believe relates to the notification bar (could be wrong)

<item name="notification_tracking_bg" type="drawable">#d8000000</item>

How can i change this to call a png in hdpi?

i THINK i need to do something like

<item name="notification_tracking_bg" type="drawable">"android:background="@drawable/mycustombg"</item>

Although something about the above doesnt look right.

Then in HDPI and mycustombg.png

any advice/help would be appreciated
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OriginsOfLewis:
The background is in drawable HDPI, find which one it and drop it into the apk using 7zip

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheSVdeal:
I was talking on the phone and BOOM it resets.

It started reloading and can't! WTF!? It just gets caught. The Samsung logo comes up and then the darkside boot animation (been running this rom for a few weeks). Then it blacks out and does these intermittent vibrations like it's trying to boot but just stays black.

When I take out the battery and put it back in, it attempts to load itself without me touching any buttons. After the boot animation it goes black and does a single vibration that pulses every other second.

I've changed the battery several times, plugged in, unplugged, everything I try can't stop this.

I attempted to get it into recovery. After I get it there, it resets within seconds and puts me back to the same place. There is no way to get into download mode as it goes into this weird loop as soon as I plug the phone into USB.

Ever heard of this? What do I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lawalty:
Your explanation sounds like a hardware issue. your power button is being pressed and held without you doing it.

1- is the phone in a case? take the case off.

2 - if no case, did you get the phone wet? somehow the power button connection is being activated.

3 - power button is stuck.

Possible solution - remove battery then press and release the power button several times.

Let me know if that solved the issue.

Hello guys.

I know there's no way to make CWM work with encrypted memory and SD and also there's no way to decrypt.

So, any other encryption solution that allows backups?

Using android's encryption feature, what to do in case of problems?

Any way to recover?

What happens if the system bricks and a recovery is needed?

What happens flashing a non disruptive update? Is a wipe needed?

Thank you so much!

Flashing to an encrypted ICS gs2/i9100

There are two options I've found that will work for flashing encrypted ICS, one is TWRP, which you would use instead of CWM, which would allow you to enter your password & flash what ever ROM you wanted like you were working with an unencrypted phone. But it's not (yet?) available for gs2/i9100.

The other option (original post here ) outlines how to do this from the command line of a computer with the Android SDK installed. I've spelled it out to include Android SDK installation since I didn't have that installed already when I had to do this.

Download, Install & configure Android SDK

Run SDK Manager

install "Android SDK Platform-tools"

Add <whatever>/android-sdk/platform-tools/ to path

in a command prompt / terminal window type "abd" to Check that your path includes the correct folders in the SDK (I had to do this manually on Win7)

On Phone

Reboot phone into Recovery mode

in CWM format cache partition

from your PC use adb to mount /sdcard as tmpfs:

adb shell mount -t tmpfs none /sdcard

put your ROM on the (fake) sdcard

adb push <your rom> /sdcard

Use the recovery to flesh the ROM as usual

Once you reboot the device will ask for you password as normal then finish the app installation/configuration after reboot. I was able to do this upgrading from CM9.0.0 RC1 to CM9.1. All data was preserved. Phone seems to be behaving itself but I only did this an hour ago so still too soon to tell.

Props to orcruin for sharing this. :highfive:

Hello all,

to make a long story short - after something got screwed up with a stock browser after numerous installs/reinstall of other browsers - I have decided to reinstall it. Made a backup with Titanium and uninstalled. However, it failed to restore the apk, when I tried that later. I searched the internet, but none of the available apk's work..

So, I would be extremely grateful if someone could copy and attach here the original browser apk and the browser.odex files (from what I have read, I simply have to place them into the /system/app folder and set the correct permissions).

Thank you all in advance.

FINALLY! Remove Vlingo / Voice Command without root (ICS Only)

That's right. And it's so stupidly easy you'll be kicking yourself. I still am.

> Firstly, you'll need to install Go Launcher. Search on the Play Store for it.

> Then, when you've installed it, go into the app drawer and press and hold the 'Voice Command' icon (the blue one).

> It will shake with a red cross next to it, click to uninstall and follow the prompts.

> That's it. Gone. You can uninstall Go Launcher at this point if you want.

There doesn't seem to be a way to install it again, unless a factory reset brings it back (but that's no loss, i've been close to chucking my phone out of the window because of that thing keep popping up)

Also, this does only seems to work with ICS. My wife has a newer GT-I9100G S2 which is still on gingerbread (O2 UK) and this trick doesn't work.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wezi:
You can also disable any system app (with or without root) on ICS.

Settings --> Apps --> All --> Find System App --> Force Stop and / or Disable.

If you need it later, enable it. Job done. ;)

[Motorola Droid 3] Sloop:
Hey all,

assume that I have 3G flatrate with no extra cost. I wonder myself, if WiFi or 3G consumes more power of my battery? If WiFi would consume more power, than I would switch to permanently use 3G also at home.

Hope to get some helpful answers from the pro's here.

Thanx
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
3G, by far.
[Motorola Droid 3] DroidXY:
3g>wifi>2g
[Motorola Droid 3] Bobbar:
3G consumes more power of your battery than WiFi.
[Motorola Droid 3] Sloop:
thanks to all. So I will keep WiFi enabled at home :)
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
It depends on CDMA or GSM. CDMA is pretty battery efficient and IMO Rev. A EVDO is the best for battery. If you have a strong 3G signal where you live and get good speeds then you may get better life than wifi, but that is rare. More than likely wifi will be better. Now on GSM 3g will be worse but EDGE will be amazing.
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
Right on. Signal strength is the real key. If your phone is constantly polling on 3G to get a signal lock, it'll drain the battery quickly. With a decent signal, it doesn't drain as fast. Same goes for Wi-fi. With a good signal, definitely better if you're downloading a lot of data as it takes much less time. However, if you're out of range or at the edge of it, it struggles to keep a signal lock and wastes battery. So, if you're at home just lounging around, have a strong 3G signal and aren't downloading much, it's best to go with 3G. If you have a bad signal, or download a bunch, go for Wi-fi. It's more just a balancing act than anything to get the best battery life. Also, make sure the wifi is turned off when you're not connected, or it will be constantly searching for a connection which also will lead to battery drain.
[Motorola Droid 3] savedR:
Nah, not in my experience. I live in an area which is well-blanketed with EVDO 3G, I literally have never been anywhere in the normal course of work or home that has less than 4 bars and 3G lock. Also, my house is covered with wifi, not as thoroughly but plenty to maintain a connection wherever I am in the house, and full signal in the rooms where I spend the most time for sure. Also, until recently, I had wifi at work, they just locked me out of it in fact (because they're facists).

In my experience, I always get FAR BETTER battery life using wifi over 3G as much as possible, even though I have great 3G signal strength 100% of the time and not-so-great wifi coverage. It seems like that wasn't the case with other smartphones I've owned in this same situation, with both Verizon and AT&T in the same locations and with roughly the same coverage (much worse with AT&T, though, of course.) But, with this Droid 3 running the stock ROM rooted, just a few apps like IM and BluetoothDUN frozen, with great 3G and less-great wifi coverage, I always get much better battery life from a day of being connected to wifi versus a day being connected to 3G.

Now, I manage my wifi switching very well too, though; I use Timeriffic to turn mine on and off every work day on a schedule, meaning it's never searching for wifi networks unless I'm geographically in a place where I know there is one I have the connection credentials for. If I left it on searching (and not connected to) wifi all day, I'm sure I'd get a battery life hit, which if I wasn't paying attention like I do would look like wifi eating the battery.

Ciao!
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
You may have a good wifi router. Mine sucks so that may make a difference. We have a Motorola SBG900 modem and I am always losing signal.

Hi,

I tried to install Oxygen ROM 2.3.2 - Saga for HTC Desire S - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235864 - but my camera is not working properly.

The camera is supposed to show you a preview of what the camera is pointing at, updated real time - basically you are looking through the camera when you are pointing at things - but in my case the view gets stuck on first thing that the camera is pointing at when I turn it on... sometimes it updates the view after couple of seconds but it is so fitful that the camera is not usable.

When I try to switch to camcorder there is the same problem and when I try to make some video it is fitful... and when I watch the video it seems to be stuck for couple of seconds, than it moves a little and again it's stuck for another five seconds (so it's not just the preview, the real video produced by the camera is affected ass well).

I tried full wipe, I tried that ROM with or without Tiamat kernel - no change, I erased SD card, I erased everything and when I try the camera on clean new install of that ROM - it is not working.

I restored original factory build that comes with HTC Desire S and camera worked perfectly - but I would really love to use that Oxygen ROM - it's great and except for the camera it works perfectly... so much better then the original HTC thing.

I noticed that in the thread related to that ROM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1235864 there are messages where people mention that camera is working OK for them - please, do you have any idea what might be the problem? Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi,

First of all I'm pretty new to this forum and really don't know this is correct thread to post this or not. This forum is kinda huge

Here is my problem,

I have Samsung Galaxy S GL-I9000. After 6-7 months of use suddenly it got very slow and throwing error on installed application could not able to start (Force Close) randomly.

So I decided to do factory reset. I tried to format internal 16GB SD card, it was showing done but i could see the 4.3 GB occupied there. I factory reset option from the menu (forgot where) and it did not solve the problem.

I also tried to clear the Cache and Partition by 3-button combinations, again no use and decided to flash the ROM with available ROM.

I looked into XDA and found one and flashed it, but after flashing it is showing the samsung glowing logo and thats all, nothing is coming up.

I have Odin, Heimdall and bought the jig as well.

Please help me to make my phone in working condition. Any good ROM is fine for me don't need any fancy stuff right now.

Download stock rom for your phone from sammobile.

Then download odin for the phone again with pit file. It should have 512 pit file.

Now copy eveything on your internal sd card into a file on your pc.

Once done open odin, select pit512, and the three files of your stock rom ( phone, pda, csc) and check repartition. Make sure kies is not running. Now put phone into download mode and connect to usb, once phone connected to odin click start.

If still in bootloop try a second flash with same rom. This time don't check repartition and don't select the pit file. Select only phone, pda & csc.

If the stock rom you download only has one file put pit512 in pit and then file into pda although i think it is preferable to have the three file stock rom if possible.

Alternatively search for darkyrom resurrection in google and follow tutorial and downloads from the resurrection thread. That way the download has everything you need and darkyrom is a great custom stock rom
