[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstanley7:
ok this is shameful as my first post but well what the hey....

I purchased a samsung s2 in november, and tbh I love it to bits. last week in manchester we had a bit of a heatwave and upon getting home I put my phone on charge. after giving it a 30 min charge to sync to my computer I noticed my phone was stuck on the boot screen so I took out the battery and tried again. I did this a total of 11 times, and still stuck on the boot screen. so I went into the recovery settings and tried a soft reset, that did not work, so I did a factory reset in which it came up with could not mount E: I left it like that for an hour before taking it to the local mobile phone shop in denton named U&E connexions as I needed the phone for an emergency. two days later I get a call from the shop saying that there was nothing that they could do and for me to pick up the phone. Upon scouring the net for a solution I came across this forum and proceeded to find out about firmware flashing. so I initiated the download process on my sg2 and noticed the the binary was set to custom and that the download counter was showing the number 4. I found out that my warranty was void if the download counter shows any number, and contacted the shop who responded that there is nothing that they can do. so I purchased a mini usb jig to try and erase the download but to no avail. upon speaking with a couple of friends they said that it could possibly be a corrupt partition due to not being able to flash anything to the phone. Any help or advice would sincerely be appreciated.

I'm not experienced with this , but until some help comes I will share what I've tried .

I once messed with phone when flashing a ROM ,

so I did opened phone in download mode ( it run on download mode I don't know your phone can boot the download mode or not )

then connected to PC , ran odin , marked repartation and choosed a Pit file for my s2 ( by checking this you may wind up with bricked phone but for me it was already not working )

then I tried flashing a stock GingerBread ROM with PDA , PHONE and CSC files . aslo checked phone bootuploader update ( really Don't know why for but I checked it )

and clicked start ,it took its time , then, the mobile was back to life again .

anything you will do is on your responsibility . :) i just want to share what I did

I think you may check for different versions of Odin ,also be sure that pit file is choosen , and it is the right one and aslo the PDA , as in the link .
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstanley7:
ok no luck still.. I'd just like to thank everyone for their help on this issue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lcaveyl:
Not sure if you want to try this but perhaps you can try flashing to the original stock rom first?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

if it boots up you again you can use triangle away to assist resetting the counter to 0.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstanley7:
it seems that my phone has the emmc bug. hence as to the corrupt nand rw permissions. I've tried flashing the stock rom using odin and heimdall and still no luck.

Gonna take my phone to carphone warehouse and tell them that my phone suffered the bug after doing a soft reset followed by factory reset. hopefully they dont notice the odin download count.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstanley7:
well they noticed the download count. is there anyway that I can kill the phone so that it does not show the download count or anything. I might be able to get a replacement that way. :s
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Absolutely not. That falls under the "don't get us (XDA) in trouble" rule here.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apk_xiz:
use USB JIG simple :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kstanley7:
I've tried the usb jig and it will only allow me to go into download mode, but the emmc bug will not allow me to downgrade the bootloader. or do any firmware flashing other than kernal flash.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apk_xiz:
hmm.. is you able to go into recovery mode if yes them flash SiyahKernel v3.3.2 and try to do system format if no then try Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script

good luck :fingers-crossed:

edit and if you abe to go into recovery mode then select download mode from recovery (SiyahKernel) and try to flash rom again :

http://classic.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Football/Premier+League/Tottenham+Hotspur

Is this kind of page able to be used in this widget?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ftgg99:
You need to pick an element that has a lot of relatives (ie - lists consist of elements that have the same use in a webpage). Then you need to click "use all as list".
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] s2dh:
sorry, so is it possible to make a widget of the page I listed.

?

I am not sure what you meant by your comment, how do I do that?

Right. If you want the 15 minute bit, use the first news item under that heading.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] s2dh:
It took me a while but managed to get it working, I think this was mainly due to the sites format.

Hi

Me and my friend made a simple Reaction-time testing game for Android.

Idea in the game is just touch the buttons in the same order as they show up.

There are 3 different speed levels and you can also submit your score to Online.

I would really appreciate if you guys could try this and post here some feedback :)

You can find it from android market with name: Speed Tester, with grey icon "ST"

Thanks to all participators!!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
I've been trying it for a couple of days now. I was able to make a weather widget from weather.com. Nothing fancy as it only allows you to make a widget out of text...but if your into a minimalistic look then this should work fine. FYI the free version does not do interval auto updates, so you have to set it up to refresh the widget when you press on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ftgg99:
Hi. That is not true, you can also use both animated and normal images. And many properly tagged objects as well! Look at the screenshots - I made all of that using metas.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Hmmm, I did not know that, thanks.

As an example: When I went to the weather.com website to create a widget, it allowed me to select the picture of the current weather as well as the temperature (in text), but when adding it to my screen it only shows the text:

Well let me clarify as I tried it again: A widget is in fact created of the image, but the image is invisible (for better lack of terms). I can press were the image should be & it will update, but still a picture does not show.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ftgg99:
In the screenshots the weather is from the same source...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
All I can say is that I either have the option to select the temp (in text) & picture of the sun together or each one separately. Regardless of which method I choose, the image of the sun (or whatever it is at that moment), does not display in the widget. All that is created, is an invisible/blank widget of where that image should be.

I'm running the Blu Kuban Rom so I'm not too sure if that could be part of why it doesn't show.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ftgg99:
Anything else?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Nope that's about it. I just recently changed to the CM9 ROM, so I'll try it out again & report back later.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ftgg99:
I doubt that will have any effect on the apps functionality...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EL TEJANO:
Well just tried it, this time though if I select an image (by itself) it will show on my screen. The problem is that the image does not show if I select text along with it (in this case the temp)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ftgg99:
That is how it works. You can pick one element at a time, then use Widget Maker to stitch them together into a proper widget.

@ftgg99 I love your Meta Widget app!

Recently I tried experimenting with 200DPI on AOKP ROM and the widget works fine. To take better advantage of 200DPI, I started using 5x5 grid on Apex Launcher instead of 4x4.

I used to have 2 comic strip Meta Widgets on one homescreen, each 2x4. To give an idea, the homescreen will be split into 2 vertical blocks, each containing 1 comic strip.

Now that I have 5 columns, I can't make that equal split of comics.

Can a feature be added to Meta Widget so that I can instantiate as a huge 5x5 widget with it split equally vertically? .. with each vertical section containing contents from a URL (a comic strip for my case)?

Or is the Widget Maker app of yours be able to do the same?

UPDATE: This is how I had set it up on 240DPI 4x4 grid homescreen: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26669391&postcount=157

Any way to create such equal split widgets on a 5x5 grid?

Thanks!

---------- Post added at 03:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 PM ----------

@ftgg9

I had one feature request which I believe that the current versions of Meta Widget and Widget Maker don't support.

The vertical partitioning of the screen works fine most of the time for 2 comics, because usually the comics are in form of 4x1 panels. But sometimes, the comics are more rectangular or squarish in shape (about 4x2 panels). So when such comic appear, it is shrunk down to fit in that vertical space and so is unreadable.

So the feature request is: Can one more action be added to the list of on-click actions so that that widget temporarily takes up the full screen estate like a popup? Upon hitting the back button or for that matter anywhere on the screen, the popup can close. Please let me know if that feature is possible and if it can be added.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ftgg99:
You mean to open the image in a dialog? Ill think about it... maybe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jazzboyrules:
Yes, so that the dialog overlays the full screen and shows the image in the biggest size possible.

For now I click on the widget, and select Open in Browser. Then the browser opens and reloads the same comic from the network. It works but it doesn't look seamless. Having a dialog, fetch the same image from cache will be quicker than the current reload from network in browser option.

Thanks for considering it.
