Apologies for using caps.. This is my first thread on this forum.

After Rooting which ROM should i look for.

I need a Stable ROM also which provides good battery life.

How about CM9?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
CM9 is good, you can try them all.

Note: Asking for ROM recommendation is forbidden on XDA, you can always switch Roms if you don't like them.

Good luck

Can i blindly use this kernel suggested above? I'm following CNET tutorial on this link below

reviews.cnet.co.uk/mobile-phones/how-to-root-your-samsung-galaxy-s2-50004972/
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
If when you say "this kernel suggested above", you're talking about the one Cosmic Blue suggested - then yes. All you have to do is flash it via Odin, and you're done. Your phone will be rooted just by flashing that kernel.

That guide you linked from CNet assumes you use a different insecure kernel, which is linked in the guide, and requires the additional step of using the S2Root application from your computer. This is unnecessary if you use the CF-root kernel suggested by Cosmic Blue.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickson23:
Yes the one suggested by cosmic blue.

So just flashing This insecure kernel my phone wil be rooted right?

No need to to run s2 root as mentioned in cnet.

So i should be getting the triange aftrr running Odin and loading the kernel.

Link to remove triangle?

R u sure that i dont ve to run s2 root. I'm gonna root with 15hrs
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Sigh...

Yes, I'm sure. Don't believe me? Read a bit about CF-Root yourself here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399.

You don't really need to remove the triangle unless it REALLY bothers you. It doesn't affect the operation of the phone. If it bothers you that much, search for TriangleAway in the Play Store. (You could also find it here on XDA, but buying it through the Play Store donates money to Chainfire, the developer behind both TriangleAway AND CF-Root... Both tools you would end up using.)

Do I have to Install Zip from SD card as mentioned in http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1103399.

Bit confused now,Can anyone list the steps I have to follow ?

Here is what i know

1.Select Debugging

2.Run Odin,put phone in download mode and connect to PC via USB

3.Select PDA and select the insecure kernel.

4.Run CF root.

totally Confused ?!!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
if you are using odin. follow these steps.

1. unzip the cfroot file into a folder on your computer as you need the tar file when using odin.

2. Put the phone in download mode by turning off the phone, holding the power, menu and the down volume but at the same time until you get to the download screen, push the up volume button when it asks you to continue.

3. start odin and wait till it shows a yellow or blue light dsepending on the version you are using.

4. In the phone slot, insert the tar file you unpacked earlier by browsing to it.

5. Do not change any other settings and hit start, wait for odin to finish and reboot the phone. You will then be rooted if you have done everything properly.

the other methods is for those people who are already rooted and using CWM to upgrade their root when upgrading to 4.0.4 from older firmware, do not worry about it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
OMG.

The bit with instructions telling you to put the zip on the SD card is mentioned right under a bit of bold text that says: "Instructions - If you already have CF-Root". Since you DON'T already have CF-Root... ergo don't follow these. I really cannot see how this is confusing.

This should say the PDA slot, not the phone slot... but otherwise this is correct.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HAXTREME:
Don't you guys even read the whole thread itself before posting? Quoted from Chainfire's own thread. "

And in your case, even this is irrelevant since you shouldn't be using cf-kernel anyways. your firmware version has the emmc brickbug issue. I can safely assume you haven't read up on that either, else you wouldn't be asking this question.

Read HERE

Go to gokhanmoral.com, download the TAR version of siyah kernel v4.1.5 for the S2 and flash it via Odin the same way you would've flashed the cf-root kernel.

Or for an even simpler method, read THIS.

How to find the exact insecure kernel for my Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562?

Hi! I'm not an IT guy. But, I want to root my Samsung Galaxy S Duos S7562, because I can't transfer my applications to my microSD card. This is the only reason I'm rooting, so if anyone has a solution by which I can transfer my applications to my SD card without rooting, please share.

Now, I know that I can brick my phone if I make a mistake (my knowledge on rooting is limited; I've read a little on Internet), still I want to root it, because without transferring applications to my SD card, I can't optimize my phone. Sometimes, it hangs while calling also. So, if I can't even use my phone for basic purposes (forget playing games or downloading a number of useful applications), there is not much use of the phone. However, I can't sell it off and buy a better phone right now. Plus, I'm very much interested in learning how to root. So, I would rather try it on my current phone, than later spoil some expensive android phone.

I tried rooting my phone through "one click rooting" by MoboGenie. Even after 7 tries, rooting didn't occur (the operation is halted and either my phone or my PC restarts). So, I'm going to try rooting my phone through Odin. Currently, I'm downloading the "adt bundle" on my PC through "Ask Your HOW", for the "android sdk". The exact thing I'm downloading is "Eclipse ADT with the Android SDK for Windows". After this, I'll download the "ChainFire's root zip" and extract it. I'll follow the other steps also exactly the way they are written at "Ask Your HOW".

However, here's my problem (I hope this is the only problem I would face in the entire exercise): I don't know a) "What's an insecure kernel?", b) "Which insecure kernel do I need?" and c) "From where would I download the insecure kernel that I would need?"

I read a few threads here on this forum and somebody had asked a similar question after citing his/her kernel version. So, I would also give my kernel version here: 3.0.8-1279898dpi@DELL143#1

I hope this information was helpful for prospective helpers. I know my question is too long. This is my first post on this forum. If you guys can ignore the negatives of my question and help me, it would be highly grateful. :)

Oh, by the way, my downloading of "adt bundle" just failed. The error was “Failed – Network Error”. I’m downloading it again.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Nosferatu Alucard:
Hey Guys,

has anyone managed to get the original Xperia keyboard working on CM10?

I tried installing the apk from the stock ICS firmware, but it says "Application not installed"

And no I don´t want Xperia S keyboard, this works on CM10 but does not fully support the HW Keyboard of my SK17i.

So far the stock Xperia keyboard is the only one to support sym key and display of typing mode (a/A) in the statusbar.

Anyonne having an idea how to get it work?

EDIT: Restoring it via Titanium Backup does not work either (I made a backup of it before I switched the ROM), it just gets stuck restoring...

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newskate9:
Decided to steam a movie last night from Xfinity. Started about 80+% battery. Running Paranoid Android, Trinity at 1400 cpu. And about an hour into the movie, I get the batter warning!

I thought I'd have plenty of time to watch a movie. BUT I was streaming, using wifi for it, and screen, etc. Is this kind of draw normal?

Any way to expand the time/duration? I would think I could watch more than one movie on battery?

EDIT: I put the device in AIRPLANE mode, and watched a two hour video, and lost 20% battery. I'm now watching it again (just running it actually!) to see how much more drop I get. Perhaps the issue is the streaming? My next test may be to lower my cpu speed, and watch again to see drain. Then stream again........ wow, I"m learning something!

EDIT 2: Watched a second time, battery down to 54%. Lowered CPU to 1100, give or take and starting to watch a third time. After about half of the movie, I only lost down to about 48%. Seems like big difference. An early conclusion might be I fell in love with CPU / High Q scores - and didn't need the juice for what I was doing. AND wifi streaming is a hog! We'll see how many times I can watch this before having to juice up. I'm curious how steaming at low CPU behaves. As I don't play games really, this may be the better choice.

You need to flash boot.img everytime that you flash a new rom.

1. Extract boot.img from the ROM you want.

2. boot into recovery, select fast boot

3. In command line type: fastboot flash boot boot.img [press enter] (in folder where you installed fastboot)

thats it!

Many forum members use CSipSimple+GNex, but I have not been able to switch from Sipdroid to CSipSimple due to an echo issue with speaker phone mode.

I am running Stock 4.1.1 with a low-latency patch.

Anyone have some settings they use with CSipSimple so not only normal phone use, but also speaker phone work well without echo problems?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] osi13:
Have you tried the latest version? I was using Sipdroid, and the built in Android SIP function, but the latest version of CSipSimple is outstanding, and better than both. Change to expert mode, and play around with the echo settings in the 'Media' section.

There are tons of options, and you may be able to fix your issues there. Also, try a new codec. Speex works well if you're calling over 4g/3g or you have high latency. What "low latency patch" are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
I have the latest Google Play version of CSipSimple, but still experiencing echo issues. Are there any settings you use specifically that I can check against?

Yeh, Speex is the best choice atm for 4g/3g I feel too.

The patch is this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1777261

It takes the delay from 40ms to 18ms, but this was more critical in ICS, which had a delay of 118ms (?) I believe. I still applied it anyways.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazykeyur:
Try turning on "voice audio detection" to on in media settings in CSipSimple to see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
No luck. Still overly sensitive when on speaker phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Anyone have settings they use that I can compare against?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazykeyur:
what settings are you specifically looking for?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Mic levels, echo settings, audio routing settings. From what I can tell the problem might be either the Nexus has to sensitive a mic or the audio routing is wrong with the default settings in csipsimple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krazykeyur:
Mic amplification : 1.0 (default)

Speaker amplification : 1.0 (default)

Echo Cancellation ON

Echo Mode is set to Speex

Media Quality is set to 4.. which is default.

Voice Audio Detection ON

Codecs : G729 and then GSM. Rest are disabled. I have set "Codec priority list per bandwidth" to off.. so it uses G729/GSM for all cases

I havent touched any settings in Audio Troubleshooting.. "Focus Audio" and "Restart stream when change routing" are on under those settings by default
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
Thanks, I will look at these settings tonight.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derjuden:
I have a Nexus 4 and I'm having similar echo problems. The person talking to me hears themselves back with a 1/2 second delay. This goes away as I turn down the speaker volume from the earpiece. In Speakerphone mode its terrible and they can hear every word they say clear as a bell 1/2 second later. I'm going to start messing with the echo settings in expert mode. I have found that all SIP programs Vonage, sipdroid, csipsimple, and grooveIP all have this problem with the Nexus 4. Thankfully Csipsimple has more options for echo on the phone so I'll report back once I figure out what works best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] derjuden:
Update problem fixed on my Nexus 4. I was reading through the csipsimple bug mailing list on this issue, and one of the developers pointed to a possible way of fixing echo that completely fixed it for me.

go to csipsimple google code page in the FAQ go to audio routing troubleshooting.

Basically try the Use Mode API first (which worked for me) and go down the list till your echo is gone. To test your echo I would turn up the earpiece volume all the way and set the mic gain to about half during a call in the settings page. If the other person does not hear echo you should be good.

[HTC Sensation] fade2black101:
Hi guys

I'm from the HTC EVO 3D section of the forum and I know this question is usually frowned upon but recently my sister's phone (Sensation XE) has become laggy as hell and very buggy. She's come from an iphone and is not used to this kinda stuff and has no idea about rooting/custom roms, etc. So I have offered to borrow her phone for a day or two and root it/put on a custom ROM for her which will hopefully sort out these problems and give credence to my claim that Android is better than iOS.

The reason I'm asking this question is because I just don't have the time to test out different ROMS. I need to root it and put one on as soon as pos and then give the phone back to her. (She doesn't live with me so I can't be changing ROMS all the time for her, and she needs her phone urgently)

What I am looking for is recommendations on a very fast and stable ROM with good battery life? Preferably Sense 4.0 but if that is too buggy/battery hog, then I'm fine with Sense 3.6. Just need it to be snappy and as stable as possible because I won't be around much to tweak it and sort out loadza problems if they arise in the future.

Thanks in advanced for your help.
[HTC Sensation] sromer:
Sense 4.0 looks good but it's not very good with battery (i get max 7-8 hours from it). So i'd recommend a Sense 3.6 ROM.

I'm running viper right now and I love the customization options, but it's always best to try out SEVERAL then have her choose. Hope this helps.

@ realsis - Cheers for the suggestion, and I know what you mean, but in this case it is extremely unlikely to happen. She doesn't have the time or desire in testing out loadza different roms. This is probably why the iphone is better for most people because you're given a fast and simple OS, and everything just works and is super smooth. Most people are happy with that and rightly so. Personally I'll spend ages looking for the "perfect" rom, but the reality is that most people just don't care.
