[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthigan:
Hi All!

I recently sold my S2 to a friend who is coming from a broken iPhone 4.

He had his iPhone 4 jailbreak'd, and he requires the following tweaks in the "android" world:

iPhone 4 Tweak:

SpringFlash - a tweak that allows an assignment of a gesture or physical button to activate the iPhone's camera's flash as a flashlight - in his case, he would press down iPhone's power button and the flashlight will turn on/off. Now, for his Galaxy S2, he currently installed Market (Google Play) App- a flashlight widget , however, he wants to know if he can assign a gesture or physical button to activate that on his android phone ?

InfiniteDock - a tweak that allows dock icons, to infinitely scroll left or right, adding applications/folders - on the S2, he has the stock icons (phone, message, e-mail and internet -- or whatever he assigns too) ... now, I was looking into some launchers ... Launcher Pro, Go Launcher ... which one would you guys recommend ?

Just as an FYI, he currently has CheckROM V4 installed, I believe that is at Android version 2.3.6 or 2.3.7 - - CheckROM is now updated to V6, but I still think it is still Gingerbread based build, correct me if I am wrong.

He is thinking about going to either Lightn' Rom (which the latest is based on Android 4.0.4) or the CheckROM V6 ... Please advice which ROM and tweaks he should go for that incorporates the iPhone tweaks he is looking for ...

Thanks!

Install any custom launcher like go launcher, adw launcher.(launcher pro is outdated)

1. use the swype gestures to turn on torch

2.same launcher has option to infinite scrolling in dock

do post the question in Q & A section next time :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthigan:
Thanks...

Thanks, I'll look into it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LOGMD:
the resurrection remix (currently at 1.7) allows you to set up 'long press power while on the lockscreen' and get a flashlight

and most launchers can use scrolling docks - im using a program called simifolder widget - it gives iphone style folders anywhere, so setup about 20 apps for a folder and in the dock bar click it and get a nice scrollable popup :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hirenpatel42:
use apex launcher pro it has swipe gestures
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sergeant Droid:
If you would have read the OP carefully you would find out that his friend is running gingerbread and he can't install Apex.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joravis:
He can also add some toggles to the notification bar if he don't have them.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karthigan:
Thanks again...

Hi Again,

I actually helped him upgrade to 4.0.4 (custom OMEGA rom).

We are using APEX launcher, and he is fairly happy with it. Prior to reading the forum, I didn't know about the remix ROM able to have the delay-touch gesture of the power button...I was wondering if that is available on the OMEGA ROM - Black Blue ICS Theme v11.1 or v11.2 (something).

Thanks!

P.S. what is the technical term behind the resurrection remix's rom feature - "set up long press power while on the lockscreen" function? is it common among android custom-based ROMs?

[HTC One X] 5teve:
Hi guys

I have just added a contact to my phone via the gmail app. Pressing on the top left corner adding phone number etc and hitting save. This contact was in the all contacts (or auto generated contact) group in google from previous emails

On adding the contact I can't change the google group it exists in. Any idea why. I don't really want to log into gmail via a browser to move it

Also can we sync our google groups with the phone so that phone groups are the same as our google groups ie if google has group1, group2 group3 etc then the phone groups match?

Thanks

Steve

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xXHawkeyeXx:
Hello good members of XDA.

I'm curious to know if there is any app for android that works like Haret for Windows Mobile?

I want to be able to boot Rhobuntu on my Rhodium that is currently running a NAND Android Rom, and I don't wanna have to revert back to Windows Mobile to do so.

Thank you!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDog2pt0:
Amusingly enough, I've been wondering the same thing myself for sometime. That way I could install and test NAND builds, and use my current SD build.

[Acer Iconia A500] Labyrinth00:
Hi to all, I'm having this problem when I search for anything in play store like Skype for example I get no results found, I've cleared app cache cleared data and force close but I still get no results found. Anyone have any idea what's going on?
[Acer Iconia A500] crm17:
I have same problem, tried same fixes.
[Acer Iconia A500] ciphan:
Have you tried turning it off and on again? Since the update to ICS I mean. Have you tried holding the power button for 1-2 seconds until presented with the Power Off prompt, then hitting OK, waiting a few seconds and the powering the device back on?

I've seen a few odd issues after a large update that were fixed by reboot.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmikeb92:
You know, you would think that if Asus was making an Android Tablet, the one email client they could get right was Gmail. This has happened before and has seemed to fix itself, but all of the sudden I have gotten a notification on the dock that says "Can't Sign In", and when I tap it I get a message that says please reenter credentials. I enter my email and password, which I know are correct, and it says cannot sign in incorrect user name or password. Anyone got any clue on this? It's really annoying. I know I can just use the Gmail app, but I don't like the way it looks. I like when everything looks stock.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmikeb92:
Bump
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] thompsd:
Hard to know what's going on, I had a similar problem when I installed a new ROM and forgot to install Gapps, confused the heck out of me until I remembered. Sounds like something is corrupted, why not root, unlock and install one of the excellent new ROMs being offered.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jmikeb92:
I'm rooted but I'm not sure if my CWM works correctly or not.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
After flashing some new roms lately, I've been unable to restore my user apps with data, or else the apps will force close (weirdly, some apps work okay with a data restore, but the vast majority will fc). Also, when trying to restore back to my old rom (AOKP) via Nandroid, I get an error saying cannot mount /data, stopping the process. I tried deleting all my backups, making new ones, flashing stock, and yes I follow the OP exactly. I wanted to see if anyone has ever had this issue either on this ROM or another one. Any help appreciated, thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
To restore a Nandroid, you actually have to flash the rom first, then after it fully boots up restore your Nandroid. As for Apps and data, try restoring the apps first, rebooting, then restoring the data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
Referring to your app restore suggestion. That doesn't work. I've tried it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
Then i don't what else to suggest. You tried downloading apps fresh, then restoring your backed up data?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Common issue for me. Just wipe data first and it should work. No need to flash the ROM

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
Are you saying restore app + data. Then wipe data. Then restore data again?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
Yep. Doesn't work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bravomail:
Use TiBu instead of Nandroid. Only had issue with porting my WiFi settings from GB to ICS.

But in general restoring apps with settings and data is a pain. That prevents me from becoming flash junkie.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
I understand your concern with using nandroid. That was just a side statement. The issue is restoring USER apps with data. Why is this occurring now when it has never occurred before
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilycloud:
I just want to add that this exact same thing has happened to me on a variety of ICS ROMS (including AOKP M5) and I too follow the installation instructions including wiping and formatting.

Very annoying.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Sorry, sorry. I was specifically referring to the nandroid backup issue. IF while restoring, you can't get past "Cannot mount /data!", THEN wipe data, and continue restoring data by doing advanced restore from there (so you don't have to restore /boot and /system again...)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
Ah okay. Thanks for the tip.

So no one has any idea what's the cause of this. Everyone who has come across this issue, including myself, seem to have no clue how to fix it. There's basically an exact same q&a thread on vibrant forums with the same issue and there's like 5 people there who cannot figure out why
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
What happens if you dl from market without restoring data? Still get fc's?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikel.canovas:
without restoring data? No FC. After restoring data, FC.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emilycloud:
Hey Mikel I just flashed Docs Master v11 which just came out. For the first time in a long time I did not have the app f/c problem at all. Everything ran fine right from TIBU restore.

I flashed this ROM exactly the same way as I've flashed the last few AOKP roms. Hmmmm..
[HTC Sensation] Righteous Joe:
I have looked for a considerable amount of time and still cant get this down, I changed roms to a Sense rom, and it changed my splash screen, which was fine but now I went back to cyannogen, with a full wipe and the splash screen didnt revert to the original sensation one, I would like it to go back, any ideas on where I could get the file and how to flash it exactly would be great, I am very noobish with this stuff so any kindness would be greatly appreciated, I am not saying this hasnt been covered, Im just saying that I in my efforts have been unable to find the information, please and Thank you.
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:
In post 6 there are instructions on how to flash a Splashscreen.

There is also a link in the post on how to make a Splashscreen.

I am sorry but I do not have the stock Splashscreen

[HTC Sensation] GROGG88:
If you want the stock htc splash then you can download this:

http://db.tt/3FSojp5f

You can run a script from terminal to flash any created splash:

dd if=/mnt/sdcard/[COLOR="Red"]your splash file[/COLOR] of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p14

Change the "your splash file" to whatever you've named your splash, and make sure you type everything correctly. If you mistype the block you stand a chance of writing to the wrong partition, which would be very bad.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ryjabo:
I still have a week left in the 14-day window. It's my understanding that the EVO LTE comes out in a couple weeks. Should I return this phone and pre-order the EVO? It seems like it will have much better hardware than this, but I'd like feedback from fellow enthusiasts.

I'm torn because I just spent $550 on this phone and if the new EVO is better and close in price, I want to get the most bang for my buck, you know?

I'm asking this here because I want to know what any of you fellow Nexus fans/ owners would do in my situation.

Thanks in advance!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Okaay:
Honestly , it really comes down to customization and stock android. If u want stock ics with the best developer support stay nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Do you want stock ICS or Sense? That makes up your choice for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rakeesh_j:
I'm about to buy the Nexus, I'm done with HTC and their locked bootloaders and closed source drivers.

All of the newer HTC devices have really weak developer communities compared to every other OEM due to the way HTC locks their phones down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eman3316@optonline.net:
Why would you ask Nexus owners if you should return it and get an EVO LTE. We all own a Nexus for reason because that is the phone we want.

All the specs for the EVO LTE are known so compare the 2 phones and decise which one fits your needs the most.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Epix4G:
With what went on with the 3d and how long it took too unlock the bootloader ....it's a clear answer you should buy nexus or wait until may 3 to see what Samsung announces about the galaxy 3...which well be easy to root and flash with odin
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
I doubt the eve will cost around what Sprint is selling the nexus for, its probably gonna be higher.

I'd sick with the galaxy personally
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jgalan14:
I was thinking the same about the evo. Since I had both of them in the past but I think I ma stick with my nexus. Sense still present heavily and I know how much of it affects in performance personally. Camera does look great but the nexus ain't bad(btw I'm on sprint at the moment too)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BDHela:
Agreed. The sheer support and customization ability of stock ICS makes this a winner over "faster" phones.

I can confirm updating your sim will help.

When I first got my amaze I was using my old sim, and signal was suck ass.

Wanted to return it but the rep asked me if I was using the sim that came with the phone.

Inserted new sim.... then I got some updates popping up ( probably coincidence, was eight around the time of the wifi update).

I would say get an updated sim and make sure you have all the updates.

Can't hurt.

Then go for ics!! :)
