Hi !

I have a Samsung Galaxy S II - Model : GT-I9100

Android version 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) :o

I have begun the process of installing a new ROM on it, following this guide: (Have to edit the URL out) Galaxy S2 gets Android 5.1.1 Lollipop via unofficial CM12.1 ROM: How to install on ibtimes.

But i have run into some different doubts and questions. I have browsed around the forum to see where these questions should be placed and this thread seemed like the most logical place to ask about them.

But IS it the right place to ask ?

I actually began with using this guide: Same Android version but a different guide on a different website. (and it seems not that well written and more dangerous for a Android noob like me)

Let me make 10 posts so i can paste the URL's.

Thor with TWRP 2.8.7 and Safestrap 3.72 with TWRP 2.7.0

Hi guys,

Before I do something stupid, and brick my device, I would like to ask your advice. My goal is to have CM 12.1 on a Thor.

Right now I have a Thor (Kindle Fire HDX 7") running TWRP 2.8.7 and Safestrap 3.72 with TWRP 2.7.0 with two ROM-Slots, where on the first one I have FireOS 13.3.1.0.

I know, it is not normal to have to recoveries, but I wasn't too clever and updated the recovery with the code

adb shell

su

dd if=/sdcard/signed-thor-twrp-2870.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

After that I had two TWRPs: one inside Safestrap 3.72 (TWRP 2.7) and one outside, TWRP 2.8.7.

Safestrap has two ROM-Slots

1: Stock Rom Slot with FireOS 13.3.1.0 with a System Partition Size of 1107MB (44MB free), Data Partition 26901MB (17864MB free) and 1009Mb cache (990 MB free)

2: A second ROM-slot called "SafeStock"- Rom- Slot with System Partition Size 1230 MB(395MB free), Data Partition 2493MB (2456MB free) and 298Mb cache (295 MB free). I tried to install CM12.1 here from TWRP 2.7.0. but it is not functioning, just keeps restarting after a long black screen.
​

I had Google Play Store on FireOS but Google Play Services stopped to work after a while, and now I am fed up and I would like to install CM12.1

Bootloader/fastboot is unlocked.

These are the informations.

I think, that I don't need FireOs anymore. What should I do, and what I shouldn't to make my Thor run CM12.1?

Thanks in advance for your ideas/advice/suggestions!

Yes, I have used some apps to calibrate the battery, but I used them in the stock ROM , not in the custom roms, maybe I should try in the custom ROM.

The issue is that the ROM is suposed to work without that error, because the people that have tried the same build of that roms didn't had that issue..

If you are using the same ROM on the same device as they are then you should not be having the issue if they aren't. What have you done differently than they? Have you looked to see if there may be other kernels you can use that may fix your issue?

[General Questions and Answers] monurcevik:
Hello everyone. I have a question about mobile application ads.

I have a local social networking kind of app that has banner ads on every page, and a interstitial (full screen) ad that shows up when you first open the app. Say I have 1000 unique users daily, and every user sees the interstitial ad + at least 3 banner ads.

1) Can an estimation be made on the revenue per day based on that data?

2) Do I get paid for every impression on every single page? Say 1 user opens the app, sees the interstitial ad, then opens 3 pages. Does it mean that I get 1+3 impressions for that user?

3) Same question for clicks. Say 1 user clicks an ad, then closes the pop up (or whatever the ad opens up) and then clicks it again. Does it count as 2 clicks? Or say the same user clicks on an ad, closes it, changes the page and clicks on another ad on a different page. What's the logic behind it?

Would super appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

PS: I have searched various forums for the answer, got few ideas but since I'm not experienced on any kind of ad related stuff, I felt like a dummy. I definitely need an in-depth help that focuses on my certain situation, not a general answer, if possible of course.

Thank you for answering :)

I am trying to make a nandroid backup using CWM recovery before i begin installing a custom ROM.

But the only results i get when i search on google play is something called CWM backup manager, ClockworkMod Tether and ROM Manager.

I have ROM Manager and CWM backup manager installed.

I will quote from the guide i am following:

When i boot into recovery mode i boot into what looks like the "standard" recovery mode. I am not in CWM Recovery so there is no option of "Backup and restore".

So how do i get ahold of Clockworkmod recovery?

You'll have to root if you want to do that, even if you find an app that does that the app will need root permissions and you may even need a kernel that supports the move to SD if you want the true move to SD function, things like links2sd and other apps that have the feature don't really move the app, they only create links between internal and where the app is actually stored and don't work as well as expected

If you have your ROM chosen then the guide where you got it should have instructions for flashing it.

files have to be signed to flash in stock recovery, as far as i know, that cant be done.

occasionally custom files will say signed in the title, but thats not the same security signing needed to flash in stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 05:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:51 PM ----------

you have to install cwm recovery on your device if you havent done so. its not an app, its a file that needs to be installed in various ways depending on your device. find the cwm for your device, and there should be instructions with it to install.

after installing the cwm file, go directly to recovery, do not boot to the os, or the file will not work, and stock recovery will still be there. after that, the file will be written, you can boot the os and the cwm recovery will always be there if you need it.

[General Questions and Answers] coolinventor:
Confused about CM9 for Onda Vi40

Hi,

I have extensively searched forums on here for answers and not found them, and so am resorting to asking a question.

I have an Onda Vi40 (v3) that I bought secondhand with an AOKP rom. The problems are that often it is excruciatingly slow and seems to die for a bit, and them come back to life just when I'm thinking of resetting it - and that secondly, youtube doesn't work. The performance issue is excruciating. It is hard to predict which software will work at a decent speed, and which will be just unusuably slow, and sometimes an app will just seem to seize up for a bit, with regular warnings that it is not responding, and then it will come back to life again. The screen though is really good and it has 16GB which is why I'm loathe to just chuck it and buy another.

My intention was to install CM9, and I have read much of this thread on this forum - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1760929

However, I was struggling to find a correlation between the instructions and the files available.

1) At this location, http://old.androidfilehost.com/main/Allwinner_A10_Developers/christiantroy/cm9_c97/ - which seemed to be the most relevant directory for the relevant files, there are five files - two gapps files and three CM9 files. There appears to be a distinction between '93' and '97' files - I'm guessing from information I saw in a message somewhere that the ones I want are the '97' files, as the Onda Vi40 is a clone of a MP907C, but before I brick my tablet I'd like to be sure.

2) What is the purpose of the 'common' files? Do I need one? If so, should it be loaded before or after the 'Rom' file, or even after the compatibility file?

3) Both the gapps and CM9 files in this are TAR files. When I downloaded them, they do not expand to zip files, but from what I've read, the files saved to the SD card need to be zip files. Will tar files work as well? Or do I need to unpack them and repack them as zip files?

4) have the CM9 files been completely superseded by CM10 or CM10.1 files? Will the same Vi40 compatibilty file work?

While I'm not a complete idiot and reasonably technically proficient (I've been building my own PC's for 20 years), I've never actually flashed a new ROM on a tablet and, while accepting some risk, don't want to be completely reckless.

The instructions in that thread seem to be insufficient and don't correlate sufficiently with what's available, so I'd really appreciate any guidance given, even if just pointing me to another thread.

Thanks

Mike
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
wow you are trying to piece together a mess there lol

looking at that, i would either, try to put stock back on, or try those files expecting the worst and hoping for the best.

the installation seems to be common and explained in the link. the problem i have it the download link is dead, so i would be skeptical about the files you found, although they may be good. the other issue is some of the files show as rar on the page, and you said some download as tar. i dont see anywhere explaining that (i didnt read the hole thread). there normally zip and indicate as zip in the op of that thread.

i cant even begin to suggest what to do with those. i have never seen anyone upload something flashed in recovery with the wrong extension and expect you to fix it.

i know thats not much help really, but unless someone comes along with direct experience with your device, you may have a hard time getting the correct expiation to this situation. the fact that the files are quite old and seem to be improperly formatted, just add to the questions.

good luck

sorry i couldnt be of more help.
[General Questions and Answers] coolinventor:
Thanks. It's not just me going mad then. Disappointing that relatively recent effort seems to have become wasted after such a short period. Actually, some of the files are .rar, and when you unpack them they become .tar.bz

Why even put those files up in the wrong format? It doesn't seem to make sense to me

Regards,

Mike
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
my point exactly. i dont know why they would do that. it clearly states to put the "zips" on your device, unless im missing something.

devs do some weird things occasionally though. i recently saw one make a tool, then post the git code, and say if you want to use it you have to build it. really? lol

What are you using to unpack the files? Are they downloading as .tar files or .rar files? If .rar then use winrar on PC or use the Zarchiver app on android to unrar the file. If it is a .tar then there are instructions for using cygwin on windows or terminal on Linux to convert .tar files to flashable .zip files to flash in recovery, the commands have to be done correctly or you'll brick the device, it kinda depends on exactly what it all was before it was compressed to .tar and what was used to pack the .tar.

Its all about getting the file compressed as small as possible so that it can be uploaded, some upload sights and services have restrictions on how big the upload can be, also some people compress as much as possible to conserve space or because they have an account with a limit on how much data they are allowed to upload and store, making the files as small as reasonably possible gives them space for as many files s possible. The point that all that boils down to is "people are just cheap", lol.

[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
i can see where that could happen, but i have never actually seen someone do it, and the files he linked really arent big enough to warrant doing it.

some of them are rar, and he said upon decompressing, he got a tar. a tar is compressed right? (im really not sure).

even if it decompressed as a zip, that still seems dumb to me. i cant imagine double compression will amount to much savings.

in the end, all these improperly formatted files are doing is causing confusion, like now, and were left guessing what to do to the files to make them usable.

personally, i wouldnt use any of those files, unless i could find some definitive answers explaining the proper procedure.

all the op of the thread he posted says, is to put the zips on the device and basically, flash as usual, but there is nothing normal about those files to gain my confidence in making suggestions on how to proceed.

That would be easy to restore. Otherwise stock system gets flashed by Odin from a Windows PC (also Heimdall on Linux works)
