[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toxic92:
No, I'm not planning to make a backup. I have installed only a handful of apps and use it primarily as pdf-Reader. An external SD card will not be installed. But I will also use it for surfing in the internet and that brings me to the question if my data are safely stored.

Do you know where/how (encrypted or plain text) Android or the apps store passwords and such data? I mean after a hard-reset or flashing, you have full access to the filesystem. I can imagine that it would be rather easy to scan the storage and unwipe/restore passwords - what I want to evite in any case.

I know the easiest thing to do would be to use the ICS device encryption - but unfortunately the encryption is not working on my tablet.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SacGuru:
So, I have a 500 GB hard drive. Using stickmount, I am easily able to browse through it on my N10. However, stickmount is only read only for ntfs file systems for now. Is there any app which might allow me to write to my hd?

Any help will be very much apprrciated.

Sent from my GTN7100 or the Nexus 10, heaven knows.

Those who help noobs go to heaven. True story.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vogonpoetlaureate:
You need a kernel that supports fuse. I'm not sure any of the existing kernels do that, but I could be wrong about that. Once fuse support comes to a Nexus 10 Kernel, you can then follow this thread for details of how to get read/write working for NTFS.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] psychy:
Hi there guys,

I'm a newbie to Xda and have just bought the XDA1 from a friend.

Everything works fine but i cant make any calls. Tried all types of sims.

I asked the guy i bought it from and he goes that it is "network barred".....what does that mean??

Can i un-bar it?

So far, its only good as a pda.

Anyone know what to do??

Cheers
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] psychy:
ok, here some details i've managed to find on the phone.

ROM version: 3.14.13 ENG

ROM date: 10/09/02

Radio version: 4.08

Protocol version: 32s54

As you can see, i have no idea what they mean and have read other posts and they info on them have flown past me.

I dont have a serial cable and the phone is asking for a SID code.

HELP!!

Thanks
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
If you have tried all types of sim and all networks are barred then a sid code wont help you, it may unlock the phone but you still cant access the networks with a barred phone. There are 2 types of barring, the first is when a service provider locks the phone so you can use it on their network only, the second is when a phone is reported stolen, then it is barred from all networks, the phone transmits a number when switched on, even without a sim inserted, it is this number that is barred in the second scenario, the network sees the number and then closes the door so to speak.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] psychy:
if this is so, can the network track down the phone? or my phone number from the sim. This is cos i've had my sim in the phone and dont really fancy being nicked for doing nothing.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Check your mail box, I have sent you a pm.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
If it's asking for a SID code it is just SIMlock. Which means you install the Special Edition ROM and presto.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
I think he said he has tried every different sim and still gets nowhere which suggests to me it locked to a provider and also blocked from all networks, surely the phone would be open to at least one of the networks regardless of the sid lock issue.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Peter Poelman:
Maybe, but if it asks for a SID code it may be locked to some obsure network or something. I'd say Special Edition ROM -> unlock first, and then figure out what's going on if that doesn't do it.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Ther you go psychy, click on the link in the previous text, "special edition rom" then click download, then run the program from your pc.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] psychy:
Ok guys,

downloaded the Special Edition ROM....guess what?? IT WORKS!!

thanks for the help guys....much appreciated!

Thing is, the guy i bought it from said it was "network barred"....does it mean my XDA is stolen?? If so, can i get traced? Sholud i carry on using my registered sim on it?
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] cruisin-thru:
Psychy, if it unlocked ok and is working on a network there is no problem, what confused me is when you said you had tried all types of sim. Enjoy your phone, you can even add a cheap gps system to it and have it talk to you giving directions right to any door in uk, you can watch films, play mp3, surf the web and much more.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] duck from space:
-> issue solved by the mighty HSD-Pilot here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974097&page=19

I made a huge noob mistake, while trying to install CMW on my unlocked bootloader razr i.

I copied and executed this: fastboot flash boot CWM.img

Instead of something like this flash recovery cwm.img

Now I can only boot on CWM... This is totally stupid and embarrassing... :crying:

Is there any way to restore the correct boot via CWM ? Maybe I could flash a rom to do the trick ?

Any help appreciated, this is quite depressing.

I don't frequent XDA too much anymore but I wanted to start this thread for you guys.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ericqt:
thank you oxd34d. i was running the nightly since april 1st. again thanks for your contribution.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The Sickness:
Downloading now...be back with a update. Thanks for the thread
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Shmi117:
Thanks a ton 0xD34D! I've been around since the pre-release and I'll give it another shot! DLing now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bseager:
Looks very promising, thanks man!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] troyism:
absolutely smooth and awesome. What would you recommend for wifi calling since no TW? I haven't played with google voice enough and skype is harder since not all my contacts also have skype accounts. This will probably be my final adopted ROM for my s2 until the s4 hits and I switch carriers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
This looks great! Cant wait to try it tomorrow!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] troyism:
Could you possibly add flashing instructions to the OP. I've had several of my friends blowing up my phone with texts and I am kinda tired of telling them lol.

Also I have a question on nightlies? Can I flash a nightly dirty or should at least wipe cache before?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
I never wipe cache when ditty flashing. A dirty flash without a cache wipe should work fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fossiltkm:
This is really running nice and smooth on the Hercules. I haven't tried it yet on my N4, but I can only imagine! Also can't wait for more theme releases. Great job, Chameleon OS team!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
Please keep on topic. People don't need to be flipping through pages of off-topic discussion. If it's a comment added to a post that at least has some content relating to the topic, that's fine. No need to start throwing jabs at one another over this either. Just enjoy the ROM and offer some feedback about it to others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
As this takes off there will surely be more themes designed for ChaOS. Most elements in MIUI themes apply but not all. Eventually people will start converting MIUI themes over so that all elements theme correctly since it just takes a little work to do.

People can even create themes that just have specific elements in them, like icon sets, fonts, or boot animations. The theme engine offers a great deal of flexibility for people to create their custom look.

If you know someone that does themes, let them know about ChameleonOS and see if we can get some good themes going.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KennyG123:

Let's at least keep the first 10 pages on topic?

i dont usually have issues with bootlooping but after downloading the latest nightly wiping data, cache, and system installing rom then gapps my phone is bootlooping i tried it twice finally had to restore back to previos rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
Make sure you are flashing the latest gapps for 4.2.2. I've heard of people having issues when flashing the wrong one. Might also be wise to flash without gapps, make sure it all works and then proceed with flashing gapps. This way the problem can be isolated and others can be made aware of what the real problem is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] penguin0609:
Just tried differant version of gapps same result stuck on boot screen i will now flash without gapps see what happens
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abhayy:
Try fixing permissions and wiping caches?

also, any chance you can add linaro to this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] penguin0609:
Flashing without gapps same result stuck on boot screen this is using the latest night build

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

trying your method now will report back

---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:44 PM ----------

same result gonna trying downloading an earlier version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] troyism:
have you checked the md5 sum to make sure your download isn't corrupt?? everyone I've had flashing the latest nightly has had no issues w/ bootloops
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carandcar:
Did you happen to do a factory reset? It's not listed as one of your steps. If not. I would suggest you do a factory reset as well. I just flashed the latest nightly and she booted just fine. I think it's worth a shot. (I'm using TWRP recovery by the way)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
As people said, you either have a corrupted download, not wiped something properly, or you in fact have CWM 5.x.x.x which is pretty old and I suggest you to upgrade.

On a side note, this ROM is running very nicely for me :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] penguin0609:
yes i did and i have now tried 4-6 and 4-5 both will not boot only diff is i am using cwm maybe i will try twrp
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carandcar:
I am very impressed with the smoothness and responsiveness of Chameleon. I haven't had time to put it through it's paces yet but so far this is really nice.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skinsfanbdh:
wipe cache and davlic after you flash rom and gapps
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] callmebrain:
Anyone can help me test with Line and Viber, all the rom based 4.2 the call function doest work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
Probably not any time soon. I'm heading the ChameleonOS team and right now my build system is setup to build all the devices we currently support. I don't want to use the linaro toolchain and end up breaking other devices. If I were only working with this device I'd consider giving it a try but I have other devices to keep in mind.

From what I've heard though, the ROM is running pretty smooth so I'm not sure it would be worth the hassle. Others are free to give it a try though since it is an open source project.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] carandcar:
I just sent you a pm. Please check when you have a moment. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jahrule:
The installed apps permissions are handled by pdroid or homegrown system?

If homegrown where can I read more about it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] penguin0609:
***************UPDATE****************

updated to twrp 4 and rom is working great now perhaps the OP should put in direction do not use CWM 5 to install this rom..................just a suggestion so no one else goes through what i did
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
It was adapted from CM7's permission management and you can check out the commit here https://github.com/ChameleonOS/andr...mmit/6c9ac8f29aa895cd57a9aa0239f01ba740c83ff4

The application that the user uses to revoke permissions I made from scratch and you can find it here https://github.com/ChameleonOS/android_packages_apps_PermissionsManager
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jahrule:
OK great thanks. Cm7's permission system was not as powerful as pdroid, but hope to see it improved
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalHeretic:
Using the latest nightly. So far this ROM is working pretty well for me, although I haven't had much time for a real thorough test. Is there a way to change the DPI, or if not could that be incorporated?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
There is always a way to change the DPI. Change the line "ro.sf.lcd_density=XXX" (XXX=current DPI) in the build.prop to have the DPI you want and then reboot.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lucky Duck:
Hey, just flashed it, didn't have any problems. I really like the rom, and the theme support is sweet! I can't seem to get the GPS to work, whenever I go into G maps, it asks me to enable google apps location access. I've toggled all the vanilla location settings to allow this, but nothing seems to work. Any advice?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jeisin:
Go into the area in settings Accounts where u have you gmail account and check out location and settings and map locations there's two desperate options u have to enable the GPS if I'm not correct
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalHeretic:
I tried this and it worked like a charm. Thanks!

I was hoping there might be a more noob-friendly way like there is in Sons Of Android, but as long as it works, right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Lucky Duck:
That fixed it! Thanks so much! (post thanked as well).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jahrule:
No disrespect but while did you choose cm7's permission system over open pdroid?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Reveille94:
The following is in reply to DigitalHeretic's post (#39):

There is an app on play store called "build prop editor" by "jrummy" I think. I like my DPI small so I have used and it has like set values so all you have to do is scroll down to DPI line ans select from a drop down menu. Hope I helped.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] The Sickness:
You can prob use CMW 6...its new. Your recovery was old. But at least your up and running.

I have been runnin this rom since yesterday and runs pretty good. It had just a little bit of lag but I flashed Crossbreeder and it is now real smooth.

I also flashed ASDK-REBORN kernel for overclocking. So far it runs great.

The theme manager in this is awesome. LOTS of ways to customize.Several themes,icons,etc to choose from.

For a nightly.... I give a :good: I recommend flashing it and trying it for yourself.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Skip-Breezy:
Anybody using a different theme with this ROM?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 0xD34D:
There were two reasons for this.

The applications that interface with the framework code of OpenPDroid are closed source.

We wanted simple and easy to maintain permissions management, nothing more

Since we are an open source project, there is nothing stopping someone else from adding this in. Most of our team is made up of people that worked with porting MIUI and we were getting tired of changes MIUI was making that made porting more work and more of a hassle. We wanted to create an alternative AOSP based ROM that provided some of the functionality people liked about MIUI as well as add our own changes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DigitalHeretic:
I ended up using ROM Toolbox Pro (Also by jrummy) but it worked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ABDALLAH:
great job

but I face a problem with network selection and 3g , so I try the last Radio and everything work perfect .

there is another thing about the external SD unfortunately I never find it on the folder manager .

I also used many programs to solve this problem and I unmounted and mount the SD

so what do you think ?

:p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ABDALLAH:
I already solve this problem

I go to the file manager and after that settings and general settings after that I choose access mode and I select " Root access mode " :) .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kteemusic:
i need help on this still, I tried this and to no avail I still cannot access pics, ,etc.<edit>

It was the kernel never mind
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jahrule:
Don't mean to sound like a pdroid fanboy lol. But, pdroid is a set of patches that one can apply to any aosp ROM. The applications that used to be the interface for those patches were closed source. However, openpdroid (read more here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2098156) is open source GPL frontend created by the old pdroid 2.0 closed source guy (college dev) and others and is the only front end being actively developed (to my knowledge). Also, pdroid does exactly what you said, handles permissions nothing more. Just has more control and newer than cm7's permission system. Plus it is being actively developed. I was suggesting it just because:

you could build it into your ROM with ease

It has a frontend

All of it is open source

And lastly it saves you guys time of having to recreate the wheel and allows you guys to focus on making your ROM that much more awesome than it already is ;)

I will shut up about pdroid now :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DaveT5M:
downloaded the original official ROM for testing, since never played with any MIUI rom..

Got 1 RR after selecting an app and coming back to app list... Otherwise, stable so far !

Only thing I've noticed, all security level for lock screen are available, but the pattern one can't be selected. I can't go any further than the selection page for the 3x3 4x4 page.. When selecting an option it brings you back to the same page instead of bringin you to the pattern selection page... I'll move to the latest nightlies see if it's still there..

Thanks to OP and chameleon OS Team...

Thanks ! Let's customize and put this ROM into testing now ! :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] troyism:
awesome to hear! I know that some people were having issues flashing through CWM so that's why I recommended TWRP. I honestly wouldn't mess around with kernel changing yet, but the newest 4.2.2 ASDK or w/e is working I've heard from a couple people.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jordanishere:
I like the ideas in this ROM, but am somewhat less excited after seeing how closely it resembles every other aosp ROM.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the original plan to build a miui-clone, not limited by closed source?

I think it would be cool if this had a structure similar to miuis open launcher/large icon layout. Otherwise, its just a heavily theamable ROM.

I hated writing this post, but I hope my feedback can help the project.

The ROM ran perfectly when I installed it, and I didn't notice any bugs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JaZart:
Yeah I agree. This is a good rom but seems pretty similar to avatar rom...which is cm with some miui aspects.
