[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIK3SH:
Hello,

Since last month I am facing corrupted Thumbnail as well Invalid music directory listing issue in my I9100.

It is running ICS 4.0.4

I have deleted those all 1 KB files once and after 4 days it get created once again for all photos and music files.

When we open Details of Image it shows 1 KB size and Unknown Location.

Steps taken:

1. Deleted all files from Android\data\com.cooliris.media\cache, but same issue.

2. Deleted all files from DCIM\.thumbnails, but same issue.

3. Also tried application named SDRescan from Play store and re-scanned SD card for ant file corruption issue, but same issue.

Please let me know which further steps to be followed to cure this.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad Sector:
I need to return to stock in order to return my phone. Two problems:

1) I have the yellow triangle

2) My display is not working

Is there a program I can use to view/control my Epic 4g touch from my computer in order to use Mobile Odin to possible return to stock and get rid of triangle?

Currently running Re-Caulked Version 0.2.0 or maybe even 1.9.1? Right around there..

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Bad Sector
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad Sector:
I have tried ADB, but it will not show up when i try ADB devices or when I plug phone into computer to try to access the SD card. I am assuming this is because I'm unable to see/select Use ANDROID as USB debugging... :(
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad Sector:
Ok! I had a bad cable. I was able to get ADB to connect, and using the XDA androidscreencast i have been able to get Mobile Lite and the flash pak installed.

Is there a stock rom that I can flash via mobile odin that will remove the yellow triangle and give me a stock rom?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Triangle Away from the play store will get rid of your triangle.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bad Sector:
Thanks Bruce, that appears to have worked perfectly. Now I just need to flash from Re-Caulked to Sprint Stock FF18 OTA I believe and all should be well...

Does anyone else see anything wrong with flashing from Re-Caulked 0.2.0 straight to FF18 OTA via Mobile Odin.. is this possible?

Thanks,

Ok, This Thread can be deleted I guess.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bruce Inman:
Not sure what ROM you're on but scrolling wallpaper is determined by your launcher and SMS notifications are in your settings.

I use SMS Popup app that works well, plus I get the taskbar and audio notification, and I have scolling wallpaper on ICS.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lord dredd:
strange i am on FI03 rooted

none of the stock launchers have scrolling wally :P

and the sms delivery notification option is generally there in the settings in sms menu but its not there :P

any other clues ?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] STRETCH3535:

Hello, i have flashed through Odin the stock ROM, Odin says everything is allright but when the phone reboots it remains stuck on the Galaxy S2 splash screen.

What can i do? I can go into download mode and have flashed twice each of the two different firmware from Sammobile, they're specific for Europe, where i live and where i have bought the phone.

Before coming back to stock i had CM10 JB.

Help please.

Thank you

*edited* i flashed for the fifth times and everything is ok now, thank you anyway!

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GolfJay:
Very sorry if this is a repost or in the wrong place, new here.

I've currently running the stable version of CM9 however, no TV apps are working. Whether it be Netflix, TVcatchup or iPlayer, they just won't work.

I can browse the app for as long as I like but as soon as I press to watch something the screen goes black, audio DOES work and the phone just seems to go into spasm.

Is there a known fix for this at all?

Thanks,

Jay!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donalgodon:
As I understand it, these issues are related to DRM. Stock ROMs have some specific components that custom ROMs don't, which is why some features are not functional, such as TV out of FM radio. They are drivers that Samsung has never released, and probably never will. Netflix cares more about securing their content than they do about whether you enjoy the experience of using their product on your device. They've declined support for a Linux client for much the same reasons as above.

For future reference, the CM9 thread is a better place to ask these sorts of questions. Mods may move this thread accordingly.

Dear All,

I am new to android phone. I have SFR(ZTE) Staraddict. It is unlocked and I want to remove google account already entered in it as it is not mine. I search the internet and only find that the factory reset can only do that. Since it is unlocked I am not sure whether I can factory reset it as it will result in locking the phone (As far as I know). If there is another option or something I can do. Kindly help

Thank You

In CM9 I can simply disable them using the GUI. But I can't turn them off in Slim Bean...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KYT:
I was getting pretty frustrated with how our phones crop the wallpaper these days.

I was looking and looking for a wallpaper template, but couldn't find one. So I made one.

It's in Paint.net's PDN, Gimp's XCF, and Photoshop PSD

The wallpaper I made in the screenshot was using the PDN.

I only made the XCF and PSD for those of you who do not like using Paint.net, I assume they work just as well, but haven't tested them.

If they don't work properly, let me know and I'll try to fix them.

In the Templates.7z package you'll find the blank E4GT-Template.xxx which is 960x800 @ 206ppi

I had read that the stock wallpapers were 960x800, which seems to be the size of the cropping block when you set a wallpaper.

480x800 is the screen size, you'll notice there are (2) 240x800 black bars on the sides, these get truncated.

All you have to so is add whatever image you want as a layer behind the "Box" layer.

What you can see is what you'll get when you set the wallpaper on your phone.

I've attached a screenshot of my phone with a Borderlands 2 style wallpaper I made.

Just for you, I've included the template for it as well: BL2-Blank.pdn

You'll notice a solid red background on the this one, this is to check for gaps.

If there are no gaps, you won't see it when you flatten the image, or just delete it.

If you have more than 5 pages of stuff, you'll need to change the size of the top box for the page indication thing.

This is for people who are stock, or don't have scrolling wallpaper as an option.

Feedback is appreciated.

Enjoy!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] IceCatraz:
If you're running stock, one of Samsung's updates actually disabled the scrolling wallpaper feature - originally, you would in fact make wallpapers 960x800. It's actually one of the reasons I went and rooted my phone - I loved that feature, and I thought it was lame that they took it out.

That being said, this is very useful, especially for those running a single screen setup, or running stock. I haven't made a wallpaper in such a long time - I'll edit one into this post for anyone interested. Maybe a Fallout inspired one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KYT:

The wallpapers are extremely annoying. I never uses scrolling before, but when they took it away it messed up everything.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] KYT:
I got the Nova Launcher from Play while it was on sale, made a background for it using the same template and made some folder backgrounds

The regular grey bar was ripped from the site same as the yellow one I used on the Maya background.

The regular box is made from it.

The Modified images I smoothed the coloring out, and made the orange a little darker, preserving the highlights.

I'm including the background if anyone wants it, and a screenshot of how I used it.

You need to make the dock margins Large.

As I know, it isn't hard to port a ROM to another device, since I did it on my Tablet about a year ago.

I just copyed the things I liked from system\app to system\app. And didn't touch the camera app.

Unfortunately, things changed since than. Sony is using a .ftf format and the ROM is stored in sys and bin files (maybe it already was back than - i just forgot about it).

So my question is, how to port a ROM, for example the AOSP from Google to a Xperia device? Is it even possible? Is it harder than it was earlier (or did I just have very much luck back than?)

PS:

To the category where I am posting:

I am not talking about Xperia S so I thought this belongs here!

And if not here, where then? We only have these sections:

There is ongoing progress on porting CM9 to the Xperia P (which I assume is the device you're interested in). No GSM yet, so kinda useless, but we're getting there. There is a CWM based recovery, too, so flashable zips will be fine.

Guys,

I would like to ask for help, the staff has more knowledge of the platform and the methods of root, flash, etc, to create this post to end the misunderstandings in relation to the Droid 2 and the process of root and flash ROM's.

I had other androids like quench, backflip, Galaxy S and never had so much difficulty in getting success necesse process.

Would you please help create a topic, explaining step by step how to root the 4.5.629 version, and how to install the bootloader on a phone that does not have ROMMananger and have gone through other procedures. For me and other people who are having trouble understanding the steps to upgrade their phones to CM9, or other versions.

I already searched on other forums and even here on xda, but the downgrade process, among others, are not always the details that give no security risk to me and many attempt the procedure. Since many end up losing cellular processes for doing it wrong and failing to reverse them.

In my country a droid 2 costs about $ 500, a galaxy s3 around $ 1000. So I would be very grateful if you could help extend the maximum functionality from this device.

Thank you for your patience guys
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
There is no totally risk free method of obtaining root, but there are methods now that allow you to root without bricking the phone.

In my signature you will find a link to an EzSbf style recovery and root CD, as well as a root only CD. I can give you no guarantees, but you can read what others have said, and make an educated decision. The link in my signature is to a post that originally had the previous method (required bricking), so many of the responders in that thread are referring to that previous method. However, on rootzwiki I posted basically the same CD, and all the responses are about the new method. That thread is at

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/30900-droid-2-global-root-cd-for-629-not-necessary-to-brick-phone/

do u know if have some kernel to enable overclock?
[Droid 2 Global General] bhigham:
I am not aware of any
[Droid 2 Global General] jabberwockish:
It is not possible to install a custom kernel on the D2G (nor most other Motorola devices). Its bootloader will only allow the use of kernels that have been cryptographically signed with Motorola's private key.

There are a number of tweakable CPU governors available, see for example http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10911-co...e-interactivex-and-smartass-v2-cpu-governors/

I don't know if overclocking above 1.2 GHz is possible, but with a decent ROM it really isn't needed anyway (we would get a bigger performance improvement from more RAM).

Dolby and SRS are natively supported by DHD. In the music player settings you can enable them.

I did some searches and couldn't find a confirmed/direct answer to this. I am somewhat new to flashing ROMs but not new to technology.

I have an epic 4g touch. It is rooted with the unofficial 9/18 cm nightly on it. When I look through root I have a bunch of folders/files left over from apps long since removed and never used again. I have tried factory resets and clearing/ formatting caches etc etc. The root never seems to be touched inmost of these processes. With that said, how do I do a fully clean, erase everything wipe and reinstall of cwm and cm?

Thanks for your help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Files on your SD card can be deleted using a file explorer like esfile. If its not that please explain what files you want to get rid of. If its on your internal or sdcard it will never be wiped using factory reset.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stonesaber:
The internal should be erased if you do a factory reset from the phone's settings menu if I'm not mistaken. Doing a factory reset in recovery doesn't though.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Finalnull:
Correct. Not external sd. Think of a full low level format of a HD and reinstall.

That's what I wound like to do.

Also,

Is Odin a hardware based admin terminal or is it firmware?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Finalnull:
Tried that. Didn't do much of anything more then what cwm does when booted into recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nubsors:
Odin is the software used to flash roms on your phone. Its not actually on your phone if I understand it correctly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
If you really want to clean everything out, format the User storage and any MicroSD card from the Storage menu and then flash the full restore Odin one click. Good as new and no lingering stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
Do not do this if your phone is flashed to a different carrier. It will mess up your nvram. You will possibly lose service. If on a touchwiz rom on sprints network you can also use the code ##786# I believe. It formats everything. I would take out tour external SD card as precaution.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
But if I remember correctly this also wipes out the activation data in NVRAM... not a big deal if you're on Sprint, BIG deal if you've flashed the phone over to another carrier or MVNO.

As a result I don't usually recommend unless necessary.

Is there an in depth article/thread that I can read on Odin and how it works?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
You can get FI03 rooted. After the one click, boot back into download mode and flash Agat's FI03 + Recovery repack by Odin. Then use Triangle Away to make the yellow triangle disappear and you're all set!

Odin is pretty straight forward. You only use the PDA option on these devices, no matter what you're flashing. One clicks have the Odin software already in there so all you need to do is install USB drivers, go to Odin mode and click Start. The regular Odin package you specify the package in PDA, go to Odin Mode and click Start. Easy peasy... but PM if you have any ??s

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 PM ----------

Odin is a proprietary Windows application made by Samsung that connects and safely updates software on a phone such as ours. If you've ever updated by Kies it uses the same method. (This is what I know of it, please correct if I'm wrong).

There's also an Odin Mode which resides on the phone... but whether or not it's on one of the eMMC partitions I'm honestly not sure. Hopefully someone can confirm that one way or the other.
