[Vibrant Android Development] pmb1903:
Hey guys in there an option to remove the persistent search bar on home screen? And what about app drawer transparency setting,not available with this ROM or do I have to install a separate home launcher to use that feature?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Use Nova or Apex launchers and the transparency is under ROM control, General UI. At least that's how the mako AOKP is setup
[Vibrant Android Development] dddtc2005:
Very nice ROM, smooth and everything works except GPS. Though I really don't believe GPS will work (or work well) on Vibrant...Tried to flash reset file from Moped_Ryder, but no help. It still doesn't work. Nevertheless, a top ROM at this time after tried HB, SuperNexus and Xylon. Thanks very much.
[Vibrant Android Development] pmb1903:
If I may ask is there a sgs3 lock screen mod available for job ROMs? I would love to have one with this rom as I don't use the widgets on lock screen feature. Or maybe a tutorial on how to do so?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Please use your Google search! Type " galaxy s3 lock screen apk" and see what happens.......

Milestone and Nightlies what's the difference?
[Vibrant Android Development] krazierokz:
the milestones are usually the most stable of the 2 and the nightlies they make everyday with new changes and edit when they update scripts/kernel/ commands etc ..:D
[Vibrant Android Development] daworship:
does the new version of the semaphore kernel works with the milestone 1 build?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Yup, use semaphore V version for AOKP

Is there a way to get the cLock widget working with this?
[Vibrant Android Development] metalwraith:
I started customizing the Navigation ring on the vibrant, but I can't find the hotpsot on the home screen for it. I have Nova Launcher setup as the main launcher and I just get it's popup for it's features. When I'm on that screen to set it up, I can access but back at the home screen no luck.

Nevermind...

Thanks. Have tried but can't get into system. I'm not sure what is the problem.
[Vibrant Android Development] Iam2Smooth:
Don't even do it, bro. I just tried flashing this an hour ago and it broke my CWM and it wouldn't progress beyond the 'X' booting animation. :( I just finished restoring, about to try the Pac-Man 4.3 since that what I was on, but I haven't used this ROM in a minute and was excited for it. Hopefully, there's a post that explains what happened because I did a clean wipe and flashed no extra mods. Just the ROM and my Gapps. Ah well. I'll be patient :fingers-crossed:
[Vibrant Android Development] dddtc2005:
Yes, the same problem. I tried wipe or not wipe, both didn't work. But AOKP is always the best room, so just Odined back to Froyo and flash the Milestone2. Maybe we should wait one more release.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TulsaDavid:
If ever there was a bullet-proof "brick", I just created one. Rooted my phone. Had just changed the recovery file, but was testing and clicked "Reboot in Recovery Mode", and the file probably was copied over badly. Nevertheless, I'm stuck looking at a phone with the SAMSUMG letters and nothing else. Or if I take out and place back in the battery, with the battery image that is empty, but locks before it ever shows the green battery level.

And I can't break out of booting in recovery mode, no matter what I try.

If there is any help for this, I would very much appreciate it. Thanks.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
See if you can get into download mode, vol up/down buttons, usb plugged in, connected to pc, and then put battery in (no power button). The use either Heimdall or Odin. Follow this link to get to them. Make sure you have correct drivers and follow instructions.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] TulsaDavid:
Got my phone back, and have rooted and unlocked it. Thanks for all of the info.

Am finding a big hurdle with getting a CWM recovery installed.

Have read and put into /sdcard most of the recovery zips found here, made sure that with each attempt, that particular zip was renamed to update.zip, and still I have been unable to get past the signature error. The recovery mode results are at the bottom of this post. I followed the video that showed how to take the recovery file, rename the current to recovery.orig, put it in place, but that is how I got locked up in the first place, so have been a little bit hesitant to go there again.

Will be swamped until tomorrow evening, so will continue on with attempting to flash my way past it with Odin.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Zen Arcade:
You run Odin and Heimdall from your PC and flash to your phone while it is in download mode (not recovery mode) via USB cable. Read the instructions on the posts I referenced from the link I provided above. You will also need the proper Samsung drivers installed on your PC (and the Java JRE for Heimdall). Read the appropriate OPs thoroughly - links are provided.

update.zip only works to flash properly signed firmware, modem and kernel packages. Most of the custom packages here are not signed and require an unsecure recovery (CWM or TWRP) to flash. Renaming will not accomplish anything.

To convert from froyo to GB or above you may need to flash bootloaders (risky). To convert back from JB (4.1, 4.2) to GB you will need to flash an Odin or Heimdall package with a a PIT file (repartitions storage). The links I provided supply options for both. At the end of that process you will have stock firmware, and depending on option selected it may be rooted and it may have a custom recovery (red CWM). From there you can explore flashing custom firmware... again, read any ROM OP completely for instructions. For JB start with Andros11's guide.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TulsaDavid:
Will do, and will post an update back here.

Have read a lot here, and the contributions are very appreciated. I have been in development for 36+ years, kept my brain cells from rotting, and followed the changing technologies (my profile url should show the details). Have developed small apps for Android, more complex apps for Windows Mobile, and am hoping to update to the latest and greatest Android versions with all bells and whistles, simply as a learning exercise.

Again, thank you. Much appreciated.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TulsaDavid:
WOOHOO!!!!!!

The fast-path for me was Heimdall One-Click SGH-I997Jt1134-ICS-Kernel, followed by flashing the CM9 zip.

Okay, now I'm a kid in a candy store.

Believe me, it takes some reading, but it's worth it. Seems so simple once done, but it cannot be taken for granted.

Thanks to you guys and this website. Seriously, am respectfully impressed and with genuine gratitude for the effort that is being put here.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TulsaDavid:
And now I'm up to 4.2.2 from the 3/24/2013 update. Once you break through, it's quite straightforward and systematic from there. Even the mistakes were good experience. Again, thank you.

Hello All,

Samsung Galaxy S 2 - GTI9100

This is an unlocked (GSM version) phone I got before moving out of the country.

Android: 4.0.3

Windows 7 64 bit

Recently my phone told me it had Jellybean 4.1 for me to upgrade to. It downloaded the upgrade but upon trying to install it, came back with an error about the upgrade failing and to use Kies to attempt again.

Now my pc won't recognize the phone at all. No noise or system tray changes when you plug it in. No sign of it in the Device Manager. It does charge.

I've tried:

uninstalling, reinstalling Kies

enabling/disabling USB debugging

enabling USB mass storage, but it says I must be connected

multiple reboots of phone and pc

using different cables, different ports, even another pc

*#7284# phone code to set USB options

Any other ideas/things to try?

Thanks in advance!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolnow:
I'm seeing some backlight issues with certain shades of grey on my Nexus 4. It happens in certain places in the settings menu (near the bottom where it blends into grey) and even TWRP's grey background when backing up a rom. Franco's gamma settings help a lot, but the problem is still noticeable at higher brightness. Does anyone else have the same problem or am i being too picky? My iPod touch 4g had a horrendous problem like this where a certain shade of grey would show all these dark blotches on the screen. I figured it was due to the LCD/backlight.

Seeing this on P.A, TWRP and Stock rom.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2IEAILiiTY:
I have the same thing but I'm just now noticing it.

Also, this may be related, whenever I flash PA and go back into twrp recovery, it takes unusually longer to boot into recovery and then I see these yellowish streaks/distortion going throughout the screen in recovery and it appears to carry over into the ROM when I system reboot.

It's happened several times, but it appears to be only when I flash PA and it goes away when I flash another ROM+kernel. I'm going to see if I can reproduce it and take a picture of it next time it happens. But after the obvious streaks went away, I noticed those gray lines, but if you look closely, there's horizontal lines too making a grid, though the vertical lines are more apparent
