[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] IRIE4IPIER:
I posted it on Craigslist at 2:45AM and received my first offer an hour later, crazy. But I ended up selling it for $420. K just thought to myself, might as well sell it now that it has value(I'm stuck with over 8 older android phones because I waited too long to sell them.)

I really want the nexus because it has jellybean, but you guys are right, GS3 is the way to go, I just hope ROM development isn't as slow as it started off with this phone. Thanks for the replies.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] conz56:
I had to revert to stock ics because all the ics roms didn't seen to fully work 100%. My question was is there anyway someone can make the aokp SMS an actual app? Because with the emoji and the actual ics look I loved it. So with permission from whitehawkx if some one could do that this would be awesome.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Try THIS one found HERE
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] conz56:
It let me install it and I got excited .....until I found it just redirected me to the stock Samsung messaging app :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Optimizer:
There is an app on the playstore that ddoes it. Hold on ill find iit for you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Try and freeze stock message app or uninstall...it should work just fine...and once you install reboot of course it should show up i used it when running TW ics and worked fine for me.

@optimizer I beleive it is the one from the play store just linked to a thread...i had it installed and my updates came from the playstore as a user app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] conz56:
Okay its working I just had to reboot. Thanks for the help :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
I don't feel comfortable rolling back to GB, but I used that root without a PC method and you can flash a kernel while doing that, I know that method and feel confident using it..

So what's the chances of hard bricking just from doing this and then installing a ROM through mobile Odin while being on ics, or maybe root it and then use mobile Odin to flash the kernel?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
you will be fine providing you do not do a full wipe on a stock ICS kernel.

Franco's kernel is reported to be safe (Never used it myself) so you should be fine to flash it using ODIN / CWM / MobileODIN or what ever the instructions say.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
Right, I rooted, and installed Franco kernel...so now I can just use mobile Odin yeah..

Is mobile Odin easy to use, eg only give you options available to your device like ROM manager does?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrcarlxx:
One more question for you, if I create a backup of my phone now ics through cwm to my sd card if I change my ROM can I just install my backup and go right back to ics?

Also I noticed on the mobile Odin thread it still says something about if your internal sdcard and OS are on the same partition then you will wipe the lot again? Seems like you can't get away from the hard brick? Lol
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cerebralassassin:
yes you can restore the backup to go back to your previous rom..provided you have not lost root..

until now that i read about the bug with the ics roms have i didnt bother to use them....i am using asylum because i read that the cm kernels are safe......i was just wondering if now is safe to flash some touchwiz roms ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
to flash touchwiz ROMs you will need a samsung based kernel, I assume you want to test out some TW ICS ROMs ?

If that is the case, Upgrade to ICS using ODIN, Once completed, let the phone boot, then reboot back into download mode and flash a safe ICS kernel made for Samsung ROMs, Such as Speedmod.

Dont use a CM kernel on a Samsung ICS ROM, And DONT wipe using a Stock ICS ROM.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4256060:
with this that you told me i assume that the speedmod and franco ics kernels are now safe as before the ics ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
Yes both kernels are safe from the MMC_CAP_ERASE bug which bricks the phone.

However, to flash these kernels you should already be on ICS, Of which i assume you are ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4256060:
i am on cm9 asylum 15
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azzledazzle:
ok, well if you want to flash a TW ICS ROM, you will need to:

1) Wipe your phone in CWM

2) Download ICS for ODIN

3) Flash ICS in ODIN

4) reboot, then reboot to download mode

5) Flash a SAFE kernel, Such as speedmod

6) Flash the ROM of your choice

NB: Installation instructions may differ, providing which ROM you want to use, Always double check on the ROMs Thread !

Not sure if you guys notices but the development section is getting filled with stickies and its looking sloppy. It also sucks to have to scroll down half a page just to get to new post. Could we make a request, at putting all the stickies into on folder? I've seen XDA do it with the other phone sections.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] flex360:
i agree

the bunch of stickies sure does look sloppy
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] vanessaem:
I agree, a folder is needed. We'll see what we can do. Thanks for the suggestion.

You didn't need to make a thread for this request though. You could've just contacted a moderator or an admin.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikiz111:
Hello,

I have a big Problem. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I wanted to restore a Backup of an older Version of Android Revolution, because of a fatal Problem of my Phone with MIUI (every night during charging, the phone freezes, so i can only use it after a battery dismounting).

I think something has gone wrong during this restoring, but i dont know. Maybe the Problem was there before.

However, I downloaded another ROM, and wanted to flash them, but after the flashing i wanted to boot.

But the display was still black.

So I returned to the Recovery Menu and during the wiping/formating of all partitions a Error appeared.

--Wiping data...

Formatting /data...

Formatting /cache...

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

Formatting /sdcard/.android_secure...

Data wipe complete.

All partitions formatted.

:rolleyes:

Every Time I want to boot the display freezes either black or with the htc logo...

During the flashing of GingerSense SB3.5 with Aroma, it sticks very long at 2%.

Can anybody help me?

Because i do not exactly know which datas are important to post i decided to post this, i hope they are helping :) :

Is it a Hardware Problem or a Software Problem? :confused:

I think there is a Problem with the cache of ext4

Everytime I format it, the error occures :(

Is this fixable or is my phone now just trash?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Can you boot at all? not even to hboot? if you can boot then try flashing some rom..and then with a working phone just try to restore the back up again. If you are not able to to boot at all then..
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ai6908:
You cant use backup from one ROM to the other. So go ahead full wipe, re install again...and do not back up this time, just set it manually...

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antagonist42:
mmcblk is external memory most likely your SDCARD try installing your ROM without memory card as then the mmcblk would not be there it should flash as normal

Scratch the previous I didn't read quite right :silly: This link may give an insight, not same problem but just an insight. This is what mmcblk0p27 probably is (I have not looked into this if it is standard for all phones or not)

I think it could be to do with Line Formatting depending on whether the ROM was made on a M$ system or Linux or with reading up it could be the page size in the ROM could be different than your setup.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikiz111:
Hello again and thx for all the help.

At the moment i was able to flash MIUI on it.

Now it boots and i can handle on the Homescreen. But everytime I try to start a Application or open the PlaStore.

My smartphone shows Messages of some Errors and reboot.

Have anyone an explanation for this?

/edit

Now i just set another sdcard in my phone and since 1h no error occurred.

I don't understand the world anymore.

OK it seems like that the problem already exists.

For Example the Error:

com.android.calendar

or after starting the Music Player it still reboots.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reinaldo33897:
I hated miui rom. I tried it once and it took total control of my phone would not let me flash any other rom would not let me enter recovery. What I did was get the pd98img rooted stock rom and hboot the phone completely back to rooted stock. Then I flashed another custom rom with absolutely no issues. Wont ever go back to that one ever again LOL. Maybe that's what you need to do as well.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikiz111:
So, I get pd98img but now i tried to wipe/format all partitions but during the Formatting: /system...

A Error occured.

"E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p25

During formatting /cache

"E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p27"

Anybody an idea? :(

Pls Help...

wipe or formatting ext3 ist always successful.

So it ist possible flashing a rom which only uses ext3?

Or to repair the ext4 sector or something else?

You are in the wrong forum...this is just for Desire HD. I don´t actually know how Desire Z works. Solution here might not be the same to you. What I am figuring out is that if you changed Recovery and the backup was done with the other recovery that might not be compatible...so I would suggest to change to the former recovery and try again.

As soon as consumer preview came out the CPU requirement jumped to needing PAE, is there a way around this, i have a laptop that passes all the other requirements?

I'm sorry, PAE?

[Windows 8 General] hanswurst24:
Workaround

If your CPU doesn't support Physical Address Extension you can find a workaround here: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/your-pcs-cpu-isnt-compatible-with-windows-8

But if this isn't working you won't be able to install Windows 8 and I wouldn't try it because these will be against the security features in Windows 8.
[Windows 8 General] KShion619:
Thank you, i will try it when i get the laptops CPU and Fan Replaced (Overheated)
[Windows 8 General] djrakun:
in virtualbox, i installed windows 8 release preview with PAE enabled, then disabled PAE and it still works. my guess is that the installer only does a check for cpu compatibility. I'm thinking that imaging a machine with PAE and then loading the image on your non-PAE machine with something like g4u might get you around the requirement. I'd reccommend just creating a VM on a machine with PAE and then copying the vhd over but my guess is that your pc, if predates PAE, doesnt have the required horsepower to be a virtual host for another OS...

I downloaded ICS Indian version from here.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424997

And installed on the phone using PC Odin. Then some advised me to go on GB 2.3, never had time to install 2.3, finally yesterday I installed 2.3.

Had some issues.

Phone app wasn't working. If I select the phone app it gives black screen and returns back to home. So I again upgraded to ICS to see if phone app is working. Now having a major issue.

Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped.

What is this thing? :eek:

I'm running 2.3.3 in my phone, from which it came with. I do have 2.3.5 update available for my phone. But reading the negative comments abt 2.3.5 and Sence 3.0, I didnt wanna take risk. Now will I get an update for 4.0 from 2.3.3 by this month end and is it worth to wait, or 2.3.5 with Sence 3.0 can be trustworthy.

Can someone help me in this?
[HTC Incredible S] vizzy:
You could just install a custom Rom and try them all?

But if you don't want to do that you might as well update at every opportunity. You have nothing to lose.
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
You won't get the OTA notification for Android 4.0.4 unless you upgrade to 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 first.

As the other poster suggested, why not just try the different custom ROMs available first.
[HTC Incredible S] Deleted member 4721123:
Thanks Folks,

But is that possible to do without rooting out phone? If yes, will that affect in any manner, may be I will not get future regular update from Android?
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
If you want ICS without rooting, then installing GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0 is your only route possible. You don't have to use GB 2.3.5/Sense 3.0, just apply the OTA, boot it once and then wait for the ICS OTA and then apply it.

I am willing to bet that ICS will be the last official Android update for the IncS, so you won't have to worry once you get there.
[HTC Incredible S] Deleted member 4721123:
Thank Yu.

My Last question.

When I upgrade my Android to 2.3.3 to 2.3.5 or from 2.3.5 to 4.0, will i lose data? content of SD card, messages, contacts and applications installed.

Is there any app to effectively take a back up of all those?
[HTC Incredible S] naathaanb96:
sd card shouldnt get affected, contacts sync with google account and sms backup and restore from the play store for texts. and google play store can backup your apps.

take out the sd card if your worried
[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
Ususally when you install official OTA upgrades, it does not remove your apps or data, especially your SD card.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jimbob1971:
Hi,

I've just noticed something strange on my machine: When I watch HW accelerated 720p video the screen glitches every so often, maybe once or twice a minute. It doesn't happen on SW decoding. The glitches are , for example, part of the picture appearing corrupt or in the wrong place for a fraction of a second.

Does this suggest my Tegra is on the way out? I had a quick play of a game to see if it caused glitching but couldn't see anything. Are there any decent video stress test apps out there that could maybe reproduce this?

I hadn't actually noticed this before the new update, but I expect it is just coincidence.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbieler:
Can you please post the video player you use and maybe some more infos about the video file you used?

The problem you described seems to be similar to what I experience while using Dice Player with mkv files that contain x264 video and ac3 sound. This happens with pretty much every tv series (all made with the standard release rules used for the illegal releases) I watch on my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] oddbin:
I get the same with Dice player. I will try others when I get a minute and see if it's the same. Never put two and two together because it happens when I'm not watching a video. But the last few times I noticed it happening it was after I had been playing a video and the player was still "live" in the back ground.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Subintro:
I get this all the time when watching 720p / 1080p. Its only for a split second.

I was watching How I met your Mother which was 720p last night and a small square where a persons face was kind of corrupted for a second, then went back to normal.

Its also happened with 'A very Harold and Kumar Christmas' which is 1080p.

Both were Mkv files and I use a combination of MX player and BSplayer, because MX player sometimes doesnt play sound for some reason
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fizzerr:
Same problem here. I have come to the conclusion that the Prime is unable to play 720p or 1080p smoothly. Every single file on every player skips frames every 10 seconds or so when using HW decoding.

This tablet is useless.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danforth:
I've been noticing the same thing, using the ad version of Dice Player. Most of the video I watch is 720p, h264 or x264.

But I have to disagree with Fizzerr -- I only noticed it after the .28 update. I'm fairly certain this wasn't a problem before -- I'm very picky about video quality -- so I don't believe this means the Prime's hardware is incapable of playing hi-def video smoothly.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] GS_Dan:
I get intermittent frame and sound skips, very jarring. Happens in default player as well as Dice.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jimbob1971:
Sorry - I meant to add the player info, but forgot.

I'm using 720p AC3 MKV container files.WEB DL essentially. The problem doesn't seem to happen on non 720p files.

I'm using Dice Player AD, BS Player lite amongst others. Essentially any that use HW acceleration seem to have the issue. I thought it was caused by a bump the machine received as I didn't ever notice this item the bump. Mind you, I did update to the latest firmware around the same time, so this could be the cause.

Essentially is looks like artifacts produced by a dodgy card, but if others are seeing it then there is maybe hope. Perhaps I'll try a non-AC3 720p vid.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jimbob1971:
My tablet played 720p fine until very recently (either a bump or the new firmware seems to have caused the issue). Hell, I even used the Prime to play SBS video into my Sony HMD and all was fine. I only get stuttering on 720p when I use software decoding.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mbieler:
In my case I can definitely say that this problem occurred from the very beginning with honeycomb.

I find it only mildly annoying because the happiness about a tablet playing high def videos smoothly (at least almost...) outweighs the glitches. It's THE main reason why i bought this thing.

At least now we know that we are not alone with our problem. Maybe Gary takes a look at this thread and puts the issue on his to-do list :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jlomein:
I really want to think this is a firmware issue. I don't recall this happening until I upgraded to the .28 firmware. I also believe it happens at any time using any app (no restricted to just videos), only that it is easier to detect when video watching.

I see similar visual glitches sometimes when web browsing (stock browser) and sometimes see it on my calendar widget on the home screen. Once again, I don't recall having these issues until upgrading to .28 firmware.
