Please Help

Thanks for your reply.

I just want to share something with you.

I have read somewhere in this forum that never do a factory reset with the stock rom (because of it`s kernel). First anyone have to change the kernel of the stock rom with siyah or dorimanx or darknight and then do anything you want.

According to that I have just tried to do that, but don`t know why I cann`t. Whenever I try to do that it always says "no signature validation",or something like that. I use CWM v.4.

Do I change the CWM to v.5 or v.6 by flashing ? I just don`t want to use CWM v.4.

BTW, now I am in :

Android Version

2.3.3

Baseband Version

I9100DDKE4

KERNEL VERSION

2.6.35.7 - I9100XWKF3 - CL276555 ROOT@DELL101 #2

BUILD NUMBER

GINGERBREAD XWKF3

It` rooted. Do I flash any ICS rom in it ? If so, please help me to do that.

Please guide me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1.

You are reading it WRONG!

What you read is only applicable to stock ICS 4.0.4 firmware. Nothing more!

Therefore in your case it is not applicable.

Those kernels you listed are ICS kernels, if you flash them on your phone, your device simply won't boot.

2. The reason why you couldn't flash those kernels is because they required minimum of CWM version 5.

3. You can change it by simply flashing Siyah kernel meant for gingerbread which comes with CWM version 5.

Like i said earlier, don't flash ICS kernel on Gingerbread, except an expert advise you on something.

4. If you want to flash an ICS ROM, it's very simple.

- First, you need to download Siyah kernel (for GT I9100, zip version) for gingerbread here : www.gokhanmoral.com/gm/2012/01/13/siyahkernel-v2-6-7/

- Flash the Siyah kernel via CWM recovery

- Download any stock based ICS ROM of your choice. When you are done, let me know.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micheal86:
Please Help

Many,many thanks Sir, for your most valuable advice.

At first I`m really very sorry for my mistake.

I have just downloaded the recommended kernel (with link).

And I have downloaded three stock/stock based based ICS roms.

1. XWLPG.SalmanRom_v4

2. Omega_ICS_v15_Black_Blue_XWLPG

3. by using "Check Fus Downloader 2.1 (by respected luffar joh), I have got a firmware for my region.

The details of the firmware is :

Product Code: GT-I9100LKAINU

Latest firmware: I9100XWLP7/I9100ODDLP9/I9100DDLPA/I9100XWLP7

Modified: 4/5/2012 6:15:29 PM

Filename: GT-I9100_INU_1_20120405181515_xrqgd7x460.zip.enc2.

(Though this one had the previous booting problem).

Now sir, please guide me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
1. People who ask questions hardly make mistakes. This is the reason why you haven't yet made any mistake.

2. The third ICS firmware you posted can only be flashed via Odin. I'll say, just keep it somewhere. You won't need it for now.

3. Have you flashed the Siyah kernel yet?

If yes, please post your present and kernel details
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Micheal86:

Pardon me Sir,

I don`t find the "toggle signature verification" in CWM menu. I`m using CWM v.4.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
You know what, I'll advise you to simply flash the Siyah kernel via Odin.

From the Siyah link i posted earlier, download the .tar Odin version. Then flash it via Odin.

When you are done, let me know.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] breaky9973:
I have been given as birthday present, Coloud in-ear headphones with a 1 button remote.

Now these headphones are listed as "compatible with most smartphones"

Except on my phone (i-Mobile i695, MT6573 chipset) they give a distorted, hollow sound, unless I keep the remote button pressed. Then the sound is clear and normal.

I also tried another set of headphones with remote, and I experience the same thing.

On all other phones I tested (Samsug Galaxy mini, HTC Wildfire S, iPhone 4s) these headsets work as advertised.

Headsets without remote work fine on my phone.

My question is: Have other people with MT6573 phones experienced problems with headsets with remote?

[Sony Tablet S] maxiii:
Now that, our tablet S is now rooted finally .... thanks to all fellow users and developers for achieving this :highfive:

After rooting, i wanted to try Directory Bind developed by slig.. target to free up some space (internal sdcard). And result, this app is damn good guys! I have Maxpayne, GTA3, 9MM, Asphalt 6, Shadowgun. With all these games installed, i have 8.1gb from 8.9gb in internal storage (source: Sony's File Transfer) :laugh:

Requirement to make this work on sony tab, is

ROOT

, Enable write permission on sd patch from condi's S.ony Aio

Sounds cool? give it a try :)

Here's original thread	[TOOL] DirectoryBind - move data to external_sd (GameLoft, Shadowgun etc.) ROOT req.

Installation and usage is pretty simple. No format of card or extra partition required.

Just install the application and it will ask for root rights. Click allow and you are in the main screen. Now FIRST step, click menu and go for prog "preference" and there click bind on boot, 'alternate dbase mgmt"

and also check default data path, target path and assistant prefix dir- if reqd.

Now start adding games to move data, Add new entry -> click menu -> Data transfer assistant.

Click on the directory you want to transfer and select. -> and tick Transfer files from target to data. and finally click ADD

Now app will create similar path directory on your external sd card and will transfer all data files to same on your external sd card.

Once this transfer is completed, and click menu and click "Bind Checked" All done, data is now on your sd card and test your games.

Rest go through the original thread, after some tries you will succeed. Good luck guys :):good:

edit:

Now added Asphault7, Brother in arm 2. Internal memory 7.8gb left

I'm running OpenSensation and tried to listen to some music last night but noticed the album art that I've embedded in the file does not show up in Apollo. Instead it seems to download its own art with really crappy resolution too. I've tried creating separate folders and putting the JPG file in there instead but it didn't help. Is there an upper limit to how high the resolution can be? Most of the album art I've embedded is quite high resolution.

Poweramp reads the album art just fine but I like the simplicity of Apollo so if there's any way to solve this issue I'd prefer to use it instead.

EDIT: Just as I posted this I stumbled upon another thread about this here on xda and it seems it's not supported in Apollo.

EDIT 2: Found the apk for Google Music Player here on XDA (not available on Play Store here in Sweden) and I'm using it instead.

After a fall last night, the back cover of my Dinc2 does not sit correctly on the phone, causing the antenna to lose contact with the terminals on the back of the phone. If anyone has any solutions for this or any advice to give, anything would be appreciated. I'm in class right now, but when I have access to a second camera, I will attempt to post pictures showing what happened.

As of now, I cannot figure out why the cover does not sit right. I have tried blowing out all the dirt and dust and everything, resetting it multiple times and even putting it on from weird angles. There does not seem to be any bends or dents or anything in the case or the body of the phone so I cannot figure out why it does not sit right.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Insomnia89:
Hi, I'm currently using the Codename Android rom by 0.0 with the grapefruit kernel. Love this rom and I really believe the developers on this site are effin geniuses (it blows my mind the way you guys can develop these sorts of things. Thank Bob for technology). Anyway, I saw that a few issues I have are being worked on and the grapefruit kernel solved my WiFi issue and lowmic zip fixed the obvious.

Currently, the problems I am having are as follows:

I can't use speaker during phonecalls and I noticed that when I unclick speaker, I can still hear the person I'm talking to, but they can't hear me (unselecting speaker seems to permanently mute the mic for the duration of the call. The mic works fine as long as long as the speaker isn't selected).

The Netflix app crashes immediately, the Hulu app will not play videos because it'a missing DRM support, and a few apps like the piano app I use (easypiano two touch) crashes once I press on a key. There's also apps that have terrible display quality like The Sims and Office Jerk. Does the fact that flash player's not supported in Android versions beyond 4.0 have anything to do with any of these issues?

Lastly, mms won't send (it'll look like it's sending, but never succeeds) and trackpad won't wake up cell (But I think I read that that's not so much an issue as it is just not an option).

BTW, anyone know of a great + free voice recorder, FM radio, and car dock app? (2.2 had them, but this rom doesn't). Thanks in advanced. I hope the more I learn the less questions I'll have.

Guys, what do you expect? There is a reason why this phone is cheaper than the competition...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
..yes. It doesn't have overly advertised and expensive bloatware on it that drains the battery in a day no matter what you do. Never mind force you to use some proprietary solution to transfer any files onto it, while making it impossible to use external storage media :p

The camera default settings just aren't calibrated very well. If you turn down the exposure time so the "correction" algorithms don't try to mesh two completely different pictures, it's no worse or better than any other camera with a plastic lens.

Seriously, though -- how much do you guys think the camera modules in these phones actually cost? :laugh:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] chalid:
It's not just bad calibration - its bad hardware. I attached sample shots of my old galaxy s2 and the lg optimus 4x hd.

As you can see, the galaxy s2 image is MUCH sharper and clearer - especially at the edges and the color reproduction is far better as well. That's not just bad calibration ...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
But pretty sure the iso speed is the same on all those pictures.. If you try with the other presets, some custom fiddling, or just use the snap-function while filming -- you won't get the same blur in the picture.

So.. conclusion: the profiles probably would have worked perfectly fine on a super-steady hand, a tripod, and perhaps also in a world where light travels at the speed of sound or so.

(btw, not making the point that the camera is awesome. Just saying that you're not going to take very good pictures with a camera like this no matter what. It is, however, possible to take reasonably good mobile phone pictures - on this camera, just like any other mobile phone camera.)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] chalid:
@UIQrules: Actually I leant onto something when I took those picture - and I took 20 or so on the LG and chose the best. There is no way you can get the same results like with the Galaxy S2. There is better hardware in use with the Samsung phone. It has nothing to do with software configuration.

Acutally I think the Galaxy S2 pictures are pretty awesome - even by a compact camera point of view. The LG is fine for me, because I don't need the camera very often, but I can see why someone would change for another phone, because of all those high-end smartphones out there, the Optimus 4X probably takes the worst pictures.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] UIQrules:
*nods* agree with that.

But yeah, noticed the same thing. As steady as possible, and still getting the weird blur, even at close range and perfect lighting. Then I took a few "speed" shots, at the same resolution, and it went away. So I don't know what it is, but I suspect it has something to do with the way the picture buffers are used. Amazing that it would go through qa, of course, no doubt about that. It is, like you say, something you notice right away.
