[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoopinFool:
Advance apologies for the common request.

Background:

Used to run Serendipity 6.4 and loved it.

Phone's internal flash went bad. Samsung replaced "guts" and sent back with AT&T 2.3.5 installed.

So, looking for a more modern ROM with some (or all) of what I liked about my old one. I assume I now have GB bootloaders, so figured I might as well put something else on it now. It doesn't look like Serendipity VII is getting updates.

Things I really liked about Serendipity 6.4:

Voodoo Sound (pretty much a Must Have)

Display tweaks

Packet data setting (plus lots of other stuff) in the long-press power menu

Auto-brightness that works

GPS worked fine, but could be due to other patches I installed.

Stable!

Things I like about stock GB:

USB works better

If you know of a ROM that can turn off the cell radio but leave WiFi active, I'd just about kill for that (fringe cell signal at home kills the battery). I don't care about over/under clocking.

I don't know if I care if it's an i897 or i9000 based ROM. I haven't really noticed the Audience chip improvement since I got the phone back. I haven't been able to get a GPS fix yet, though.

Thanks a lot,

- LoopinFool
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] master2828:
Just put in airplane mode and then turn wifi back on, worked on stock and every other rom ive used.

Im running helly bean and it is awesome
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LoopinFool:
Either that didn't work in Eclair/Froyo or I'm an idiot -- or both. :eek:

Thanks for that,

PS:

I see Helly Bean mentioned a lot here recently and I'll look into it. Please continue with suggestions as I'd like a few good options to look at.

I'm currently on jellycore (hydracore kernel), I download the ICS rom below and tried to flash it via CWM. I wiped cache/dalvik and installed from SD, everything seemed to go ok but now the phone will only boot to the samsung logo.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1872965

Do you think I should try and install an older ROM like gingerbread via PC-Odin ?

Thanks,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
Why did you only wipe cache and dalvik? You should've wiped data as well. Boot back into Recovery. Flash the Hydracore kernel (if you don't have that, flash the Jellycore ROM because it has the kernel). Reboot recovery. Wipe data, cache and dalvik. Flash stock ICS again. Boot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mug2k:
I'm currently in download mode because I was going to install GB via PC-Odin. Can I just turn off the phone ?. Also is the ROM in the OP ok to flash once I've re-flashed hydracore ?.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
It should give you an option to reboot in download. But you can just hold down volume up + power + home button and restart to recovery.

After you re-flash Hydracore AND REBOOT RECOVERY, you can flash whatever stock ICS you want, just make sure you wipe data, cache and dalvik.

DO NOT WIPE DATA BEFORE YOU REBOOT RECOVERY! Can't stress enough.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mug2k:
Just to be 100% sure, wipe data, cache and dalvik AFTER I've flashed hydracore, rebooted recovery and flashed stock ICS.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
You can flash hydracore, reboot recovery, wipe data, cache and dalvik, then flash stock ICS.

ok so i dont even know if this the right area to post this,

but i need some help flashing a new radio into my att skyrocket to use with tmobile. i have rooted the phone, but i am unsure of flashing the radio and bricking my phone. on top of that i have no computer to be able to do this. My desk top was fried by my son and my old mac lap top cant be used for this purpose.

i am getting the phone unlocked today and would like some one local to so cal, los angeles to help me accomplish this. i will travel to you and buy lunch if that helps sweeten the deal LOL. i'd like to be able to do this by sunday at the latest, so if some one is free and willing to help me and show me how to do it, would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. maybe i can even get some help flashing a new rom to et all this bloat off my phone and help my batt. i hope i have not offended any one by asking for in person help, i only have this one phone for now and can not take a chance of bricking it. thank you all

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waxworkz:
ok since there are no local takers, what would be the best radio to use with an unlocked, rooted skyrocket, running stock firmware and all on t-mobile? i have been reading threads on the Blaze radio, but then read something else on a different one LVE3(??) but i cant find the thread. i know every one os going to say to run a custom ROM but i am unsure of doing this and dont want to brick my phone. Like i stated worst part is i dont have a working PC to use for all this. I'm working on getting my old one fixed but wont be for a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
Depends on your area and what rom your running.

If you like Touchwiz then go with a Tw base rom. If now then go with a CM/AOKP/AOSP base rom.

Be careful on how you ask questions or this thread my get locked. Just try to re frame from making it sound like what's the best. Lots of trolls out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waxworkz:
well i guess i'm asking whats the best radio for a stock Skyrocket? i have read so many conflicting threads that its mind boggling.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] specter07:
Just go with the newest radio out there. UCLF6

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mahanddeem:
Many will tell you fairy tales ... T mobile with our SR is buggy at best , lots of droped calls and data problems .not to mention crappy upload speeds .... Sell it or trade it with s2 tmoble .

PS : and for your inquiry , no need to back up the radio , just flash a t mobile radio in cwm or twrp like the blaze radio for ICS....You might loose your IMEI in the process be careful(as some experienced)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] waxworkz:
ok i found the radio, its was the uvlg3 from a note for t-mobile. i'm still trying to find the thread but no luck.

if i flash the radio and i dont like it, what is the stock radio that comes with the SR? for att?

I have the same problem with LG E400. The ramdisk that is generated when building CM10 keeps rebooting the phone. How can I build a proper ramdisk?

Using an old ramdisk from CM9 abd my new kernel and generating a boot.img from that boots the device and I can connect with adb but that's all, I have a blank screen and I can't see CM10 boot animation. Probably *.rc scripts from CM9 ramdisk aren't a good match for CM10.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] drdoombot:
A forum search turned up nothing, so I'm asking here:

On most Android phones, you usually go to Settings->About Phone and look under the "Kernel Version" section to see the name and version of the kernel you are running.

With my Galaxy Nexus, I don't see kernel names. Instead, I see something like:

3.0.31-g6fb96c9
android-build@vpbs1)
#1 SMP PREEMPTY Thu Jun 28 11:02:39 PDT
2012

No matter which kernel I flash, it always seems like the same type of info but no names or version numbers.

I was okay with that as long as I remembered what I flashed last. However, I recently reverted to stock but the kernel looks like it stayed the same. Is there anyway to check if I'm back on stock kernel or still running the last kernel flashed (franco, in my case)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Knighthawk108:
Most (if not all) kernels have a name similar to stock. But there is usually something amongst the numbers and letters which point to what kernel your running.

For instance my phone running trinity.

I know its trinity because it says dirtymorfic, morfic being the xda name of the trinity kernel developer. I only use stock kernel and trinity so can't comment on the others, but it will always look similar but also always have something pointing to the kernel your using. Hope this helps :)

there is a date under the kernel.

am i being cheated with an old or used phone?

also the video clarity is very bad for a FHD screen

help me please

I just thought I would write up a quick tutorial for anyone who ever wanted to play music through the earpiece for some reason (am I the only one who always forgets their earphones?). I had the urge to do it yesterday and this is how I did it

First download the app "earpiece" from the play store. You will notice, however, that it doesn't give you the option to play audio through the earpiece. This is because it doesn't think you have one. So, what you must do is take the attached file and stick it in the /system/etc/permissions directory (yes, you need root). Change the permissions of the file as needed and reboot. This file will make your player look like a galaxy S gsm phone (I have not encountered any negative results of doing this yet). You should now be able to use earpiece app for listening to audio through the earpiece!
