[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosh_ac:
Hello everyone!

First of all sorry for opening a new Thread, but I am not yet able to post to the ROM Thread directly :-/

I want to thank everyone involved in the creation/development of the Supernova ROM, because I am thrilled with what it gave me!

I struggled with the memory limitations of my Desire over a year until I decided to give rooting and custom ROMs a chance and the first rooted stock GB ROM with APP2SD+ Support gave me much more space than I ever had before, but as you may suspect already it did not hold for long, so I searched for a more drastic solution and stumbled upon the Supernova ROM!

Clear and precise installation instructions, easy installation and now I got rid of the memory restraints once and for all! Thank you again for that!

Never the less I have two questions regarding the ROM and I hope someone can answer these for me!?

I am using 4EXT Recovery and excluded Cache and Dalvik from the backup to save some space, but I read the warning about wiping cache and/or dalvik so I am wondering whether I should disable the exclusion or not!?

Second thing is that the Android Market App does not Update to the latest Google Play and I am wondering whether I can do anything about it!?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Regards,

Guido
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tehTerminator:
You will have to download the Play Store manually because, I used SuperNova rom some time ago and it does not allow market update because new play store is slow.

Here you can download play store

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Yes, you should be including cache and DK in your backups. Otherwise the restored backup wouldnt have your app data.

Market update is blocked in my Rom, so as mentioned, you should backup the rom, and flash a Market zip manually. I'm still using the old Market which I included in the Rom.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosh_ac:
Well, good that I asked before making a Nandroid Backup :p

Are there any disadvantages in using the "old" Market?

And one other question! Speed with all Data on the SD is ok, it is a 16 GB Class 4 Sandisk with a 1.5GB ext4 Partition! Is it safe to use Apps like SD-Booster to try out different read-ahead values? What would you recommend?

Also is there a short explanation / recommendation when one should use the DalvikOptimizer.zip?

Thanks again!

Guido

No sdbooster. Only fcks it up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosh_ac:
Why is that? And what about manually increasing the readahead?

Regards,

Guido
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Change the line:

readahead=256

in the file /system/etc/init.d/01data to the value you like for readahead. 256 is 256KB. The effect of changing the value is different for each sdcard. You'd have to experiment on your own to find a comfortable value.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosh_ac:
Thanks! But doesn´t the app SD Booster do the same?

And if it does, why not using it?

Regards,

Guido
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
Use whatever you want. You asked a qn about the rom, and I was explaining what was built into it. If you wish to use an app to do the same thing, be my guest.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosh_ac:
I only asked about this because the user "race55" said that using SD Booster would be bad and therefore I liked to have a statement from the ROM Developer, because I trust your opinion more!

Regards,

Guido
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
That's his opinion. You'd best ask him.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosh_ac:
Just needed your assessment about this!

May I ask another question?

Due to low RAM the task Htc Sense got killed very often! I took your advice and disabled unnecessary events with Autostarts!

Isn't it possible to just prevent Htc Sense from being killed?

Thanks!

Regards,

Guido
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droidzone:
It shouldnt be killed if the foreground task and Sense combined require RAM <= Free RAM. There are some scripts which allow you to tweak these settings. Search for Supercharger.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kosh_ac:
Thanks again for your quick response!

I also want to thank you for this great ROM which brought my Desire back to life without constantly struggling with the limited space it provided!

ok the thing that annoys me and when i have to wipe when i install a new rom

and my music playlist gets all erased so i have to make them again.

so is there a way to keep my playlist saved?

i tried using titanium but doesnt work.
[HTC Sensation] sshede:
Well, Playlist Creator 3 is a great tool for Windows.

http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=...3rXGUtvaiN3iN8rSw&sig2=3tsmJVikv3tvg7X1jmysyQ

Download it, recreate your playlists in M3U format, then put them on your SD. Works like a treat.
[HTC Sensation] Deathsongx3:
Use ' My playlist Maker ' . It saves your playlists according to your folders .

Hey guys, as you can see I am new to the whole wide world of android. I have had an iPhone since 2007 and recently dropped my iPhone 4 on the pavement which completely wrecked the screen. I seized the opportunity to buy an android. I got this s2 for 350 on eBay.

Anyway... I have absolutely no idea what I am getting into here. I have watched a ton of videos and still am really lost. (Sadly)

I have this s2 at 4.0.3 and am completely lost when it comes to how to flash a rom. I get we have to use ODIN, Kies and your rom. Am I missing anything else?

I want to use this. galaxys2root. com/att-galaxy-s2/aokp-ics-rom-for-att-galaxy-s2-sgh-i777-best-ics-rom/ << I cannot post links so its just a space in between the .com

I have seen videos where I have to root the thing first- or will this do it for me? I have also seen "roms" that are 400 MB in size but this one I like its 134... Am i missing any files or something? I have done searching but I end up more confused than I started. If someone could give me a push in the right direction that would be a great help!

This is the first phone I am actually confused with... I am sure it is easy, just not for a guy who has had an iPhone and developed for them since then... (I am co founder of whited00r :) )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
Start with the links in the sticky. Be sure to read them all.

You said your phone is already on 4.0.3, which is Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS). That means it's not stock (aka factory settings, out of the box, etc). I'd personally suggest after reading all the links, returning to stock and starting over from scratch as it's the best way to ensure you don't have any problems, especially since you don't really know what the previous owner did to your phone. The links for returning to stock and for flashing custom ROMs are also in the sticky. Please don't read just these links, read at least all of the other links posted there. That's just the starting point mind you, you should probably do more reading after that on stuff in the posts that you don't understand. I know this will take a lot of time, but it's for everyone's benefit that you fully understand everything you do to your phone before you do it.

I'll even help you out with a couple other links I think may be useful which aren't in the sticky.

ROM vs. Kernel

Odex vs. Deodex

Please hit my thanks button if I helped you. Good luck and welcome to the forums! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
From now on, don't watch any videos. They tend to be incomplete and usually outdated. Also, don't use any files or methods you find anywhere else besides XDA.

Like karate104 said, read the stickies at the top of the forums; they will tell you everything you need to know in detail. Read this one in particular. It has links to a lot of useful guides.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fUr246:
you also need to be wary of what you read and watch on gs2root. com

when i first started i used the rooting technique with the kernel from there and ended up with no wifi and ended up having to flash entropy's daily driver to recover

as the guys above said, read the stickies here and go over it a million times until it makes sense

flashing can open up loads of features, but you can very easily make your phone unusable (easily fixable once not hard bricked) but better avoid the trouble than finding a fix

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Thanks man, just one stupid question. How do I replace the app? Tried using root explorer but sincerely the system was running, the flyer locked up and I had to reboot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
You could use adb, or I can make it flashable for you
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Ah yeah so basically something like "adb push framework-res.apk"?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Yeah you would do:

adb remount

adb push (path to where you have the apk) /system/framework

so for me it would be adb push c:/users/taylor/desktop/framework-res.apk /system/framework/

adb reboot
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
Cool I'll give it a try this evening. Thanks for your help!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
unfortunatly didn't seem to do anything other than reset my wallpaper to the default htc wallpaper. It's really not that big of a deal, I just like to tweak with things. And I never did understand why HTC disables the crt and overscroll glow animations in their roms. My ICS rom on my HTC vivid is the same way, those 2 cool effects are disabled.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
disregard
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Gumby63:
Hmm well that sucks. The overscroll images were in the framework but they were blacked out by HTC so I just replaced them. I think the edit you need is in framework.jar but I'm not sure where unfortunately. :(

But yeah it is stupid of them to do so.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Cor-master:
yeah oh well. I thought I might try the kitchen though most mods don't support the screen resolution of the flyer
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tantalin:
Howdy,

Over the past week or so VZW has been trying to do an OTA to my bolt.

I'm rooted with a stock ROM, because I mostly focus on themes for stock ROMS (Until I get a better handle on it) I'm not as good with flashing, but I understand it & can certainly follow directions.

I have CWM/ROM Manager installed, but my question is how can I get VZW to stop trying to send the OTA? I'll flash a ROM from the list under the Development section if this is the issue, but I'm a bit hazzy on which one since only a few seem to have been updated in the past few weeks.

My current setup is below, but I'm more than willing to update to something else:

Android 2.3.4

HTC Sense 2.1

Software 2.11.605.9

If it is as simple as making a back-up, downloading one of the ROM's on the Development page, putting it on the SD card, wiping the data, flash & enjoy then I'm good with that, but I'm just not real familiar with things like upgrading to a new sense from an older one & if that is ok.

Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
You can either flash a ROM, or flash this through recovery.

(Put the zip on the sdcard, In ROM Manager, select reboot recovery, in recovery select install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, and select OTABlock.zip. Once it flashes hit back and select reboot system now.)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattamous:

Thanks for the quick reply & I shall do this to stop the OTA push from occurring once I'm home, unless - If I flash a (current) ROM from the development page, will it also stop the OTA from trying to update?

And is PRI Version the Radio?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
Yes a ROM will also stop it.

PRL is the preferred roaming liat , its seperate from the radio (Im pretty sure)

Did the late nightlies remove text shadowing on home screens? I had changed my font before, but it doesn't seem like it's my choice of font, I've tried many. With a white background, the text for app icons is white too. Here's a before-and-after comparison.

The fonts are different because of the reflash, I'm trying to find which font I was using before. I don't think I've ever had this problem before, though. I've had light backgrounds before with the default font.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] madetoservehim:
I've been working on my /System/App folder with root access and I changed the permissions to R/W, R and R. Afterwards, the device freezes at the AT&T screen, looping at the stage where it loads certain apps. It attempts to load them, but because it can't access them due to permissions, they freeze and then force close. I'm rooted and have CWM installed, so I have ADB access. I'm using the UCLD2 ICS build, and my question is this:

I know that it's possible to change the permission of folders in the root folder using chmod, but I've had no luck with this so far.

Using ADB shell, and these are the commands that I've been using:

adb shell

mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

chmod 755 /system/app

I've got it mounted, but when I chmod, it tells me "No such file or directory"

If I can change the permissions on the /system/app folder back to the way it was, my phone'll be fine, but right now, fixing permissions doesn't solve the problem, and I'm stuck in loop for now. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I've read through multiple forums and the closest I came to finding my problem was with the Kindle Fire forum, and I've been trying to carbon copy the solution from that forum. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389728
