[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PixeLuL:
Well, you could try and flash with Odin the right stock ROM. By saying right i am reffering to this : go to settings, about phone and check ur build number. That's the unique code of the stock ROMS, or signatures or w/e you should call them. Those need to match in order to work in India, because you said that its XSA. In my point of view you should flash the Indian Stock ROM just to make sure your out of problems.

If you don't know with Odin browse youtube, or i think you could try with Samsung Kies because the ICS Stock ROM has already been released =D

About backup up apps, well, i used titanium backup and it failed me every time. Use other apps such as Nandroid, Backup Master, Mobile Backup II etc. You said you are not rooted so the titanium works only with rooted phones.

Hope it helps, have fun :p
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krishnavihar_9:
Thanks....But as per current 2.3.6 kernel version(KK2) I didn't find matching Indian firmware...only one matched was Australian region ICS kernal(LP8).

I got same firware update thrgh kies...got confused whether to go via kies or ODIN.

Forgot to mention earlier, my GB2.3.6 is Australian Generic(unbranded)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
if u connect ur phone to KIES and if its showing an ICS update is available then u can give it a try:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
If you can manage to install your applications again, it's better to wipe before and after the update.

Also personally I don't like backup apps to go from GB to ics.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grishm:
you can use the following to backup your apps & sms

Titanium Backup for backing up your apps

SMS backup & restore for backing up your sms

You can merge your contacts with google.. or you can export all your contacts to the external card (if you have any)..

You can flash the indian ICS version directly through ODIN. It's very simple, easy & clean.. KIES take a hell lot of time to update.. (that's y i HATE it)

or if you dont want to do that.. you can find an Indian GB firmware 2.3.6 Flash it.. through ODIN & than flash Indian ICS.. using ODIN..

You can download the same from many sites one most popular being www.sammobile.com or www.theandroidsoul.com

If you want to know how to flash using ODIN... you can visit - http://www.theandroidsoul.com/i9100...-update-for-i9100g-galaxy-s2-finally-arrives/

NOTE: The above link is just for your reference if you want to flash your ROM through ODIN.. The direct download link for ICS provided on that page is for "I9100G".. SO I AM NOT SURE WHETHER IT WILL WORK ON OUR INDIAN I9100 model.. You can download the I9100 Indian ICS Firmware from sammobile.com & use the above link to see the steps on how to flash it using ODIN.

Hurray ...! I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 through OTA Yesterday

No Issues ...No Conflicts , downloaded Installer Package in 30 mins and Installation took 10 mins.

Installer optimized my apps ... All apps are working fine ...... NO need to wipe the data(factory Reset)

If u got ICS update via OTA for your Galaxy SII, then it is the best & simplest way to update your device...

Can please someone provide me xperia x10 forgo 1.6 stock lockscreen

Please it would be really thankful
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
Sorry, not possible.

1.6 has completely different layout than 2.3.3. So we cant "port" it to OS 2.3.3. Only modded resources can be applied on current lockscreen.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipul955:
So can current be modded like that?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakuburban:
Well there is one way. There is a theme for MI Locker Xperia 1.6 like.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HeliumX10:
No in native way, you must use 3rd app as jakuburban told, to use it. In native way you could only mod the resources - how does the lockscreen looks but no how its pattern is slided - only same horizontal slide, but images of buttons might differ.

I used to have android GB 2.3.4 back when I bought the phone and the.Music app was working fine, meaning music was detected by the app and if I clicked the.play button on the headset it would start playing my music store in the music Folder.

Then I upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 and after everything got installed I noticed that now in ICS my music app doesn't find the.music in my sd, always.says that there's no music and now I wanna know how.to solve this?

I've tried: unmounting and.mounting the.card, rebooting the.phone many.many times back to back and nothing seems to.fix.itcan any1 help, maybe someone who had.the.same.problem probably with the.same phone and now they.got it to work

Thanks in advanced

Edit: This fix is defunct as of the current OTA. For a working version of this software (Thanks Steal25!) check out the thread here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1947686

I'll be requesting this thread be closed at this point, though I'll leave the files for anyone still on older software versions. It's served it's purpose. Thanks everyone!

Original post:

There are a number of build.prop edits out there for various fixes. One such edit gives back the ability to make a choice of what program you want for a specific action. This was removed by HTC due to Apple claiming a patent infringement of patent #5,946,647. This patent is what caused the Evo 4G LTE to be stuck in customs.

Due to the nature of build.prop files containing many areas that can be tweaked, ROM devs tend to make different tweaks between ROM's. Until now this could have caused issues.

This script makes a backup of your current build.prop, and then EDITS IT IN PLACE.

What does this mean? It means you can flash THIS file on ANY ROM on this phone and it will not mess up any tweaks your specific ROM dev has put in place.

Why is this important? There are a number of build.props edited with this fix (and others)...some of them are from the stock ROM and some are from various other custom ROMs. Simply copying one over your current build.prop could lose you important optimizations, or custom fixes your dev has set up. By flashing this script you keep those customizations and still get the benefit of having your choices back.

Instructions:

To tell if this edit worked for you, check in settings. If the app associations menu option is gone, then it worked.

You will need to clear defaults for specific programs in order to have a choice pop up.

Example:

If you have selected Chrome for your default browser in app associations, you will need to go to menu/settings/apps/downloaded/Chrome/clear defaults.

The next time you tap a URL you will have a choice of which browser to use.

Thanks to iconeo for the original thread found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1693809

Thanks to Steal25 for the actual build.prop edits.

I am including two zip files. The first one will make the build.prop change to allow you to choose your own defaults.

The second one (HTCLinkify-revert.zip) will allow you to put your build.prop back to its default.

There are other build.prop edits out there and I will be creating ROM agnostic flashable zips for those as well.

Please let me know if there are any issues with this flash.

Edit: I have uploaded a new zip that should work with the latest OTA.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
nice man

so people can flash this and still keep their tweaks

loving the support this phone is getting
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Yep, exactly. For people that have a hard time editing build.prop on their own, this will do the trick.

Plus it's the easiest way to re-implement the fix if your ROM dev updates the ROM but doesn't include it by default.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MRFERRARI23:
So I'm guessing you can only use this if your phone is rooted right ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
You can only manually edit the build.prop if you're rooted to begin with, so even if you choose not to do it this way, you'll still need root to make the change yourself.

To flash the zip requires root and unlocked bootloader since you need a custom recovery to flash zips.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Made a correction to the first post. It was Steal25 who came up with the original build.prop edit, not SteelH. Sorry Steal25!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Mines ready fixed by me. But still, thanks mass for this.

Edit: thinking about this makes me realize just how bad apple effd HTC. I mean, if I was one of the vast majority of users who dont root and just buy a phone and leave it how it is, I would honestly probably return this device and buy something different. And that would be hard because i love HTC and this device. But, removing the 'complete action using' dialog is just not something I could live with. Apple really, really, screwed HTC... and end users. :mad::screwy:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] john9:
It's fantastic, thanks man.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] oryan_dunn:
I've been following this issue, and it seems the build.prop fix also works for other HTC ICS phones. I assume this flashable zip would work for those phones as well, correct? Since it's editing in place, seems like it should work for all (One X, One S, Amaze 4G, etc.).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SiL3nTKiLL:
thanks, was looking for this mod :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
It should, yes. However I only had an Evo 3D and an Evo 4g LTE to test on, so I can't support other phones.

But as long as build.prop is in /system and contains the line ro.da1.enable=true this script should work.

Again though I can't test, so you're on your own. :)

Edit: One thing though: You'll need a modified updater-script. Right now I have 2 versions of this zip, one for Shooter (Evo3D) and one for Jewel (E4GLTE).

You'll need to modify the line at the top of updater-script to your own phone's model:

getprop("ro.product.device") == "shooter"

Replace "shooter" with "jewel" for the E4GLTE for example. Or you could simply remove the line. Should work fine without it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaptainRandom:
Ok, I may be asking a lot...

But I'm not familiar with editing the script lines,

Could you possibly either make a zip with the jewel edit in place?

Thanx
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
This one already has jewel. If you want it for another device I can make a quick update for you, just let me know the device name. Or if you want to test it without the device check line I'll pull that for you and you can test it that way.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corcgaigh:
Many thanks for this. Although i was able to modify fue build prop myself, i did have a hard time. Everytime i edited the build prop with root browser it made a copy of itself . Confusing stuff. Finally sorted it with SM mánager.

Anyways this is much easier for someone with my skills

Thank you
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Not a problem. It will come in handy later if your ROM dev makes an update. Just flash and go. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] OstrichSak:

On the OG Evo,

When I long pressed on a browser website photo,

The options menu included 'Share pic' (not 'Share link'),

Which allowed me to post a pic only (without page link) directly to facebook,

The linkify fix doesn't restore that particular function?

What am I missing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
That's a function of the browser not the linkify app.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Matstarr:
Yes the ICS browser doesnt support this. It suppose to say share image.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KaptainRandom:
Opera does not have the 'share image' either,

Is there a way to get that back?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] EarlyMon:
As a workaround, view image, then share the link?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flyhighx:
Sorry, noob question. Is it necessary to wipe anything before flashing this .zip from recovery?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
I would say no. Not for this. That said, every time I'm in recovery, I take that opportunity to wipe caches.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
Yep, always a good idea to wipe cache/dalvik cache when you have a chance to.

Having said that though for this mod there's not any necessity to wipe dalvik, as it only touches build.prop, not any of the apps, and dalvik doesn't need a rebuild to make it work.

What it looks like happend is Htc removed all the ro.da.enable entries from a bunch of apks im adding it back into the new ones to see if that works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
Wow, that's ridiculous!! This is a MAJOR feature of a phone that HTC must find a replacement for - be it something in App Settings that lets us assign specific apps for specific actions or something - the current set of app settings doesn't cut it and still doesn't let us navigate to Youtube, Maps, etc.

This Apple patent stuff even prevents links in the stock email client from being clicked, that makes the email client useless!

It's going to be a drag for us stock rooters if we don't want to install a custom ROM, so have to overwrite individual APK files. But I'll do what has to be done I guess.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] rgosborne:
Nah, this crap is on HTC. HTC put in a "fix" to get its product able to be sold. At that time, it was Apple's fault. It so happened that Linkify was easy for us to bypass. Nothing wrong with that - what an end user does with a product is not the manufacturer's fault. It's like speed governors on cars or those tags on pillows - if the end user removes them, the manufacturer is not liable. The fact that HTC made Linkify harder to remove is now HTC's fault, not Apple's.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] steal25:
I would love for that to be true, but the ruling allowed htc to add a "fix" to pass customs but from that point forward had to fully integrate it.

you loose the ability to click a link in an email or text and getting the pop up to choose which app to open it with for example if someone sends you a link to an xda thread you used to be able to click and it would give you a choice between xda app or browser now goes straight to browser, no more share via app when long pressing a pic in browser among other stuff.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] DiMENZi0N:
Thanks. So they gave us a app associations section in settings to choose there or just no links in messaging or email?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sully9292:
This is ****ed up. Apple needs to go somewhere with this. Apple is crappy company and they are just mad cause android is the ****.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] PillowMetal:
Yes, they gave us app settings in lieu of the old pop-up functionality. The problem is there is no way they can cover all the third party apps that used to register their intents and then appear in the pop for certain links.

I am sure there are more, but just off the top of my head there are youtube links, market links, map links, phone links, xda links, etc. that now go to the browser unless there is an app setting for it. Also the stock mail client was not html based so links would not even appear there (I understand they may fixed that in the new 2.13 release, don't know yet, haven't upgraded)

Someone (maybe me) is going to have to dive into the code for app settings and see if we can figure a way to add our own entries there and supply the functionality we all need and desire!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smw6180:
I don't honestly believe this is 'fixable' in the usual sense. From what I can tell it would require new software to be written to add in that functionality again, and a lot of the stock apps would need to be hacked to make it work. I'm just not seeing any easy fix for this. I assume Steel25 hasn't seen anything easily fixed either.

Having said all that, the tone of your post is obnoxious. If you're so worried about it, feel free to dig in and fix it yourself.

Exactly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Minjin:
The purpose of my post was to 1) ask if the problem has been solved and solution posted in a different thread, one which I missed and 2) raise awareness to a problem that I think has been overlooked or forgotten. Nowhere in the post was there an insult or beratement. If everyone is aware of the problem and nobody cares, I would be surprised, hence the second sentence. If you read anything else into my two short sentences, then you read things that don't exist. Even if I did make some sort of value judgment, please don't be a tone troll.

As for the assertion that if I notice a problem, I am personally required to solve it, I find that to be absurd and a complete non sequitar.
