Thanks again man.

I really appreciate you taking the time replying to me.

I have to be honest i have not had positive response except from you.

It might be that my nub questions bother some i dunno. :confused:

Lastly for know:D

How does one move up in ranks on the sight , junior member to senior etc...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I think for the most part to your question is it is just a matter of time to move up the ranks. Except for tjose that are Reconized Dev's/Recognized Themers/Recognized Contributors and probably a few other titles. Those are ones thst people get nominated for and go through a approval process. You can find more info about that in the General section of the forum I believe.

Hey you its me again..

Is it wise for me to just start flashing different modems?

I still seem to be having some garble issues. Is there anyway you could find out what modem is used for Tacoma Washington?? I am hoping you could help me..:o

Just watched the dark knight rises on blue ray epic film..

Thanks man.:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I thought there was a modem thread with a map for what worked good for others but I did not see it right away. There are not too many modems but I would suggest using either ucle5, uckh7, first off. Then try the others as well. You can go flash happy with the modem zip files and it wont mess anything up for you. No worries flashing them as they wont cause any harm or loss of data. Sorry I couldnt be of more assistance other than let you know the above. Just flash away and see what works best for You in Your area.Make sure to use the Samsung based zippable modems. They are made to flash on sammy based roms. I made the cm7-cm10, aokp, aosp flashable modems but their script is mainly for the asop based roms.

Hey man what's up I have a question for you if I have a camera a PK say version 1.0 and I want to install version 1.5 can I use Titanium Backup and uninstall that 1.0 and install that 1.5 I found a camera Apk1.5 on a jelly bean build show stock version 3 and I'd like to put it on an ICS build is that possible and if so can you tell me how Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
I havent tried to do this and not sure you wouldnt have issues anyways. Since both firmwares are pretty different.

But I would say MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP in case. Then use a root explorer (or try tibu) and remove the older camera.apk and replace it with the newer one. If using root explorer go into system/app and copy the original camera.apk somewhere on your sdcard. Then get the camera.apk from ShoStock if you want. Copy it to /system. Next long press on it and set the correct permissions. Then long press again and move. Next go to the system/app directory and paste. Reboot ohone and try it out. If it doesnt work just follow the same procedure and move the original back in and delete out the newer one.

keybaord locks and dont work

hey its great other than the keybaord locks and wont work and fixes would be great thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RockRatt:
Unfortunately I don't have my S2 any longer to test. But I had no issues with the keyboard ever. This thread was from last year sometime and was an older version of firmware anyways. So while I had my S2 I moved on to other newer firmwares and ROMs since then. If you have a problem with the keyboard try to wipe the keyboards cache and data and see how it works for you. Sorry I have no way of testing this out any further as I have had a S3 since last year and now moving in to the S4 soon.

I have only kept this thread open so users who wanted to run the older firmwares had choices. So consider this closed for any development but available for download if wanted.

I found an interesting script for Galaxy I5500, which does allow users to create swap file in data/system partition. I tested it on I5500 because i own one right now and the script does indeed work, i also noticed improvement in the swap performance. Right now i'm trying to do this on GT540 but i found some difficulties and i need your help. If we'll make it working i will create script for GT540.

First of all, this is how it's done:

1. Open up your terminal.

2. Get superuser permission using su command.

3. Type this( make sure you have 64 mb of free memory on data partition ):

dd if=/dev/zero of=/data/swapfile1 bs=1024 count=65536
mkswap /data/swapfile1
swapon /data/swapfile1

It does work fine until swapon command usage which does give some retarded error "Invalid argument" Anyone have idea how to make this work?

You can delete swapfile1 using:

rm /data/swapfile1
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] bataya:
This is not good idea, there is chance to broke nand.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] -Grift-:
Erm how much swap can we squeeze in there :/
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] shadovraven:
I don't think it would do much difference, phone is accessing nand very often anyway when loading apps and system components which are stored there. I just want to try it out because it gives noticeable performance improvement on Galaxy I5500. I can test for bad blocks as well after some time of use.

@UP

It depends how much free memory do you have on your data partition, altough i don't advice to use swap bigger than 64 MB. Android won't use that much even with swappiness set to 100, so using large swap partition or file is just waste of memory. Not mentioning the fact that it will decrease performance.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] darko94:
Yeah, but probably in a few years, when you would probably use another, newer phone.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] shadovraven:
Do you have any idea what to do with this invalid argument error? If now i'll try to pm miroslav and ask him for help.
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] fulloflove:
you can create many swap files/partitions at the same time. the OS will choose which swap to use depend on its priority. if 2 swap files/partitions have the same priority, it will be used in a round-robin fashion

by default many swap apps create only 32MB swap file because it's sufficient enough for the system. I've seen many people create a swap partition as large as 512MB-1GB. It won't give them any increase in speed because the system will only use a very small amount of them. My SD card have a 54MB swap partition and android use only about 8-16MB swap with swappiness set to 10. If I set it to 60 as default, the swap usage will be about 40-50MB
[GT540 Optimus Android Development] miroslav_mm:
SWAP on Data (30mb)

[GT540 Optimus Android Development] shadovraven:
Thank you miroslav, gonna put this into start post.

EDIT: I tried that and it doesn't seem to work, i've put that into init.d but free command returns that swap size is 0. What permission i should set? I will try to do this manually.

EDIT2: I tried it manually, swapon /dev/block/loop7 returns invalid argument. I attached screenshot so you can see for yourself.

Plenty enough.

I think as much as, if not more than, every other Nexus device.

I think Nexus 7, Galaxy S3 and HTC OneX are "the" devices of 2012 (so far at least), not necessarily in that order.

And at $200, and no normal phone function that makes it a "can't break" device, I think there is potential for hardware hacking as well.

Among other things, how about a $200 "car computer" with GPS navigation, audio entertainment (& video for passengers), and if needed, 3G/4G access through your cell phone ?

Heck, at $200, get 2 or 3 so the kids or riders in the back get to watch their own. Or play games; pull it off the seatback held with velcro^H^H^H^H^H^H something secure enough not to create "missiles" in a collision.

The gnex is good, but it its crippled by an anemic (relative to the Onex and gs3) GPU.

[XPERIA X10 General] RonGerNer:
I took the phone apart and then sanded the parts,then I spray painted it white lightly 4 times. Then to get the blue you have to hold the can far away from the phone and make it look like its splattered. After it had all dried, I sprayed it with a clear coat the make it shiny and stop the paint from scratching! It probably sounds complicated because I am not very good at explaining it, but its really quite simple!

[HTC One X] Neevar:
I recently bought a HTC One X and I won't go into details, but I was trying to figure out whether or not it can withstand some intense gaming.

Needles to say, I have grabbed Glowball and gave it a try. I might be the biggest noob on earth for this, but I got scared when playing Glowball because my screen went black and glowbal was "minimized".

I really thought my device is about to die and all that heat is causing it to crash. However, after two minutes of deep breathing, I've figure out that in fact Glowball is a bit different from other games. As long as you don't touch the screen while playing Glowball, your phone will go in standby as if you were not using it.

So, if you play Glowball, when you see the screen go slightly dark, tap the screen and continue playing.

I know this might be obvious, and I know it was noobish of me, but I figured out, if other brand new HOX owners out there are trying to test their device and are getting paranoid about temperatures and stuff, they too might panic if they give Glowball a try. So even if some of you might find this funny, others might find useful.

Stay safe!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil Gordon:
New S3 on UK Three Mobile.

I have an issue that mainly only affects N Irish users I suspect.

Just bought a 3Mobile S3 and I love it. However on 3 firmware, network selection is locked to automatic. I can manually change, but the phone sill change again of its own accord if the signal I chose isn't available.

The reason 3 do it is so that if 3 isn't available, the phone will roam onto Orange's network as a backup. That's all fine if you're in mainland UK! If you're in N Ireland and near the border, you will frequently roam onto Irish networks and run the risk of charges for receiving calls.

Last time I had an android phone I got the firmware flashed and this solved the problem. So far, I rooted the phone and installed a custom Rom, Omega. This didn't solve the issue. Am I missing something? Does installing the Rom not also flash the firmware? Or do I have to try a different Rom?

Going to try a stock firmware from here now. Any other advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil Gordon:
Nobody?

Installed the stock unbranded firmware last night, plus side was the network selection issue is now gone, but the down side is that it seems to have removed my root access.

I I root it again using the threads here, will that overwrite the firmware again?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Flashing a Samsung-ROM will revert all your changes (including root access) and replace the modem. I've heard that Three has it's own modem which works better than the standard on their network, so you might want to flash it (=the modem, not the firmware) on your phone.

Rooting a phone doesn't make you loose any data or change the ROM. Just use CF-Root and you should be good to go.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil Gordon:
Thanks. Already used c.f. root again and all is well.

Any Idea where I can fInd the three modem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InevitableDJ:
im curious to know too... i've installed a unbranded official rom from three's branded one and if the modem is better i think i'd want to install that too
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Every modem has it's own name, so try getting the name from someone who has a stock '3' S3. Then you can google it.

I'm not sure though if they got their own, I _think_ they do ;)

However a network-specific modem must not always be the best.

I've got nearly double throughput over here with the exotic ZNLF2 modem. (Afaik it's Hong-Kong)
