[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiba92:
Hi,

I am at CM10V7 at the moment, but I would realy like to try Slim Bean. Unfortunately it fails for me because after the first flash I can't reboot into recovery because the 3-key-combo does not work for me (I've heard this is a known unfixed issue with certain Captivates). I was just told the need to flash twice has something to do with partitions. I have some experience with Linux, programing, scripting and so on but not with Android developing. So far my ideas would be to:

- try to modify the installation script of I897_1.0.zip in a way that it does not reboot normally but reboots into recovery (just for my own copy of it). This idea is based on the assumption that such a command does exist and that the reboot during flashing is intentional so that I know at which point one would have to change something.

- do the partitioning through the DEVIL menu if it is possible.

I have no problem going into Download mode, so whatever happens, it would probably not brick my device, so I am open to experiment, maybe this can also benefit the development of the ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Out of curiousity, have you ever flashed the Gingerbread bootloaders? From what I've seen, usually issues with the three-button combo happen with the Froyo/Eclair bootloaders, but are resolved with GB bootloaders.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiba92:
Honestly, I've always assumed that I am on GB bootloaders. Maybe during one oft the one click unbricks I flashed old ones, is there an easy way to check?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
The easiest way to do it (if you're going to try flashing slim bean anyway) would probably be just to grab one of the stock one-clicks with bootloaders and flash that. You'll know 100% for certain then, and at that point, if your key combos aren't working, it would have to be a hardware issue.

If you don't want to go that far, the only thing I can say is that if your first boot screen isn't the white AT&T world phone screen, but is a black screen with Galaxy S I9000, you have GB I9000 bootloaders. Other than that, you would have to flash a stock Samsung GB rom to see if it takes correctly. If it does, you have the GB bootloaders. If not, Froyo/Eclair.

Since you seem to be familiar with flashing, you probably don't need the warning that flashing bootloaders has risks, but I'll throw it out there anyway, just to be safe.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
As he pointed out the easiest way would be to go ahead and flash the bootloaders. Additionally if you are stuck in the slim bean boot loop then you are at least partially bricked and will have to get into download mode and use a one-click to revert anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takeoutttt:
You are already in CM10 by derteufel right? You can easily go to recovery by holding the power botton and choose restart then ticking the recovery. That should do it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Escy:
I bought my Samsung sgs2 2nd hand about 14 months ago. It came with the box and everything so seemed legit. I've been using it faultlessly for about 8 months in the UK. I moved to Brazil 6 months ago and it was fine over there also.

Now I've moved back and it's not working, turns out it's been blocked on the UK networks. It happened exactly 1 month ago while I was in Brazil.

Any ideas what's happened? It seems unlikely to me the phone is reported stolen all this time later. I'm wondering if there is anything I can do about it?

It seems a coincidence that i've been away and now it's not working in the UK any more.

If I can't do anything legit to get the blacklist taken off, is there any other way around this? (PM me)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
Did you check your imei number on a blacklist to find out.

Where did you get the phone from originally.

My guess would be you've bought it off of someone who's got a 2 year contract and they have stopped paying it,that's how you could get that timeframe.

That's how I would never buy any 2nd hand phone.

And I'm not sure if you are allowed to ask for help in doing shady stuff on here.

Hey guys, I just rooted my KF for the first time and installed CM 9.0.0 RC0 otter, The kernel listed is 3.0.21.

For some reason, the Fire won't pick up my home wireless network - it doesn't even recognize it on scan. My neighbors network shows up on scan and I'm able to connect via my phone's wifi hot spot. I've reset my modem and wireless router to no avail. Any ideas?

Thanks for the help. I tried installing the ICS ROM you linked to in your original post (CM9 based on SGT7 framework) and still can't connect to my home wifi. I assume there is some kind of conflict with the router and device since it happens with multiple ROMs but allows me to connect via my cell phone's hot spot. :mad:

Hi

This morning 26th on my note I had an OTA notification. Since I had no Wifi, I cancelled it. Now, when I do a manual check, it says 'no updates available'. I already have 4.04 (XXLRG) from an update a couple of weeks ago so it wasn't that.

Any idea what it might have been?

Hoping for some Jelly Bean soon since I like it on my N7.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bleclair:
Installing that much (really, any!) crapware along with updates is not cool...

But give me Jelly Bean quickly and I'll forgive you, Samsung. ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mofjel:
So. Anyone know if this update fixed the battery problem many have? And fixed the issue of bricking the phone when hard reset?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] little-vince:
The OP just said that all it did was install a bunch of crapware.

Nothing else.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
And it's improved the performance.. :cool:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
Now now....can't use this without "value added software" because your user experience won't be as good :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mofjel:
I got this update yesterday. However I can't find the apps mantioned here. It only said "Improved performance". I don't know what they mean. I have had the problems with the battery. I had to either pull the battery for a minute or two, or I had to switch on power saving mode right after charging and leave it on for some minutes before turning off powersaving. I had to do this every time I charged the phone, or else it would not go into deep sleep. It would stay on 200MHz, and drain the battery in a matter of hours.

However, this morning I saw (using CPU Spy) that the phone had charged all night using 200MHz (this might be normal. I don't know this). I tryed to just pull the charger, without doing the steps mentioned above. And i see now, a couple of hours later, that the phone has gone into deep sleep since I pulled the charger.

It might be too early to draw conclutions on this, but it looks promising so far.

I have found no info about the update yesterday. I hope its possible to hard reset the phone without bricking it now, but I don't know.

I will keep monitoring the phone, and let you know.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] little-vince:
IIRC the phone doesn't charge during deep sleep, so clocked at 200 while charging should be normal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] garytube:
That is normal and always was.

After you pull the charger it takes few minutes and the note goes into deep sleep. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mofjel:
I explained badly I think. I have used the CPU Spy for some time now, and i have seen that the cpu use 200MHz when it charging. Good to know this is normal. The big difference this morning was that when I took the phone off the charger, it went into deep sleep. It hasn't done that for a long time. Before the update, it went on using 200MHz after charging, when it was supposed to go into deep sleep. The only thing I could do to get it into deep sleep, was to pull the battery og use battery saver for a few mins.

I just hope they have fixed the brick problem when doing a hard reset too!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] little-vince:
Knowing Samsung.

They won't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mofjel:
Yehh. I asked customer support what the update was, and if they fixed the battery problem and brick problem. They answered that I had to hard reset to fix the battery problem and the update was "improved performance". So I guess I either have to live with a bad battery or bricked phone hehe. Kinda hopeless imo. Anyways, the battery still works good after update :good:
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sovereign_313:
When you sent your 3G Xoom into Motorola for the LTE upgrade, when you got the device back, was it wiped? I mean, did you still have you recovery partition in tact, your sdcard wasn't deleted, and the OS you had on it was the same version and everything, or should I be prepared to re-unlock the bootloader, flash rogue, and update my rom?
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airesch:
Everything I had on the Xoom was still there, but the OS was upgraded (mine was still stock and locked.) They needed to do the OS upgrade to support the new hardware. Their recommendation was to have it locked, otherwise the upgrade would fail (Motorola's words, not mine.)

I don't believe you can get it upgraded thru Motorola anymore tho, from all reports it sounded like they ended the program.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sovereign_313:
I didn't think I could either, but I chatted with their online support, and they told me it couldn't be done. I got an email the next day from Motorola Global Reply (Tracey R.) with a copy of my chat session. They said they had reviewed my account and would be willing to upgrade my device, but I'd have to pay ($55 + tax) to have it done. I called the number listed and got Motorola, paid them, and they are sending me a fedex box, gave me the RMA number, and the whole nine. I was shocked, honestly. I thought I was doomed to live with the 3G signal the rest of the days of my Xoom.

I'm running EOS3 JellyBean, after having flashed radios, so I probably don't need them to update the software, but I guess I'll relock it anyway. It's just a couple of adb and fastboot commands to lock and unlock it.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airesch:
You won't be able to re-lock it unless you go back to a stock firmware and completely wipe the device

http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/ has the images you need if you really want to go down this route, I don't know if they will do the upgrade or not if your on anything other than stock (or rooted, or...)

I wish you good luck either way.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dboftlp:
You lucky bastard, hahaha! Do a full backup w/ TiBu & from recovery, copy everything off the device, get back to stock, remove your sdcard & ship that puppy in. Good on ya & best of luck.

How did you get Motorola to do the 4G LTE upgrade for you? I'm still trying to get mine done. Motorola is not willing to help thus far.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dvandam:
According to the website they don't appear to be doing LTE upgrades anymore, which makes no sense.. Hell even if they charged $20 for it I'd go for it. For LTE speeds and the coverage it has I'd be all over that.

Basically I am looking for the fastest AOSP and fastest Sense Roms with a good kernal. The more de-bloated the better. I have not had much luck with roms aside from Liquid Smooth 3.2. Roms devs will claim said rom is debloated and is fast but its not. Why de-bloat something only to bloat it back up with all that Go Launcher crap?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shawnj0:
I'm too scared to root and I wouldn't know the first place to start to mod my SGS2 Skyrocket, so I looked into some themes via google play.

Go Launcher EX is pretty sweet IMO... I won't pay for themes obviously, but they have a few really cool themes for lock screen and the home screen.

Im using the sms theme, the home theme, and lock theme.

I'm pretty happy with the way it works on ICS (stock) on my skyrocket.

So, do you like/use go launcher ex?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
I tried it, but it drained my battery more quickly that other launchers. I'm using ADW EX, and I like it.

Don't be afraid to root, and install a rom. I would spend a good while reading the stickies, and tutorials before doing anything. If you have questions, just ask.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
I use Go Launcher Ex as my primary launcher on both my Nook Tablet and my Skyrocket (As well as Go SMS for SMS) and I love it. There are a lot of themes that are available for free, though I usually modify the themes (using the preferences) to use parts of different themes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] enterflux:
I used to use Go Launcher, and it was pretty good, but now I've moved on to bigger and better things (I'm a Nova Prime user right now.) If you're looking for a good lockscreen, I can't recommend anything other than Widgetlocker. By far the best lockscreen I've found yet. I think it's like, 99 cents in the Play Store, but it's well worth it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ends:
RAM hog
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aycockonxion:
I seriously dislike Go Launcher. It's a resource hog, it's laggy, and it's not nearly as robust as Apex or the S3 launcher.

Seriously, just root..

follow all the instructions carefully

and everything should be fine.

Do these things, in this order:

1) root

2) flash CWM Touch 6.0.1.0 (available here)

3) make a nanbackup

4) flash CM9 Chimera v2.2 (available here)

5) install Apex launcher

6) profit greatly
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] UZ7:
I use to use Go Launcher the first weeks I was using my phone then after testing out other launchers I stuck with Apex, another good one is Nova. Since I use CM9/AOKP I just use their themes and make it fancy looking :silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kishke:
Using go launcher and I think it's fine, I found the organization of it was better than other launchers I tried.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
I would never use go launcher on ics. Apex is far better. Or nova
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shawnj0:
Yeah I un installed the applications related to the go launcher and needless to say I saved about 3-400 MB of ram. Needless to say I won't bother using that again.

I'm not quite comfortable rooting just yet. Maybe when I get bored of the phone as I typically get with any phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] enterflux:
Either way, I would still suggest either Nova or Apex. If you're not willing to pay money, I'd go with Apex, as it'll have a couple more free features that you're used to from Go Launcher, but if you're okay dropping a few bucks on a launcher for your phone, both Apex and Nova are pretty much equal. I just like the look of the icon and the name of Nove Launcher, so that's why I went with it over Apex. :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shawnj0:
I have to root to get those launchers right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] enterflux:
Nope. Root helps them integrate a little bit better, but they're just ICS launchers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aycockonxion:
Without root, you can't install widgets straight from the app drawer in Apex.

Or lots of other neat tricks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.J. Bender:
I tried GO for about a week after getting my phone. As others have said, it's a RAM hog and a battery-drainer. I've also tried 360 Launcher, and am not a big fan of it for similar reasons. Apex Pro is my launcher of choice, as it's versatile, not very memory-intensive, and not much of a battery drain at all. I had intended to try Nova, but Apex has just been so good for me that I never saw a need to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] enterflux:
lol, then I guess he should go with Nova, as I haven't had any problems with it without root :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shawnj0:
I went with apex. I haven't checked how much memory it's using but I do enjoy their free themes. I'm not one for widgets yet, I'm still an android noob, but I am definitely loving my s2. Makes me wonder if I should've gotten the s3. But for the headache and money and effort to get the s3, its not worth it to me.

The s2 is quite the phone. Android customization ability over apple proprietary operating systems any day, IMO.

Sorry that was OT. However, I like apex. Currently using the Plate Theme 4 with a stolen blue background from another theme. It's lovely!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
Based on this thread, I've looked at both Nova and Apex (in the market, not on my phone). Both look great, though I'm not sure that I like the idea of paying for unread notifications...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not against it; just seems a bit odd to me. That's one of the features that I would use most. I can't see any of the other paid features that would be a ton of use to me (provided I could replace icons on either free version, Go has some good themes, but the theme builder being partially in Chinese with no way to change it is a huge turn off).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneturf:
Go does have one feature I really like that Apex and Nova lack and that is the ability to resize homescreen icons, not just in the dock. Not as important on my Skyrocket, but would be nice to have on my wife's Note since the icons look too small to me on that large screen. But, like others mentioned, it is a resource hog plus runs in the background even when it is not the default launcher (I mean, WTF?!), but the kicker is it cannot use icon packs that I have purchased in the past which work on ADW, Apex, and Nova.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] enterflux:
I don't know about Apex, but I know Nova can use Go Launcher themes. That opens up a lot more customization for you.

I have just accepted having to pay for quality apps that are basically system parts. I've payed for PowerAmp, Nova Prime, and Widget Locker and I find it extremely worth it. They're all quality apps that run smooth and integrate perfectly. Now, for random other apps, I'm a total cheap-skate and I hate paying for anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
