Hi xda!

I'm noob on this forum, so don't swear me for coming up with noob questions.

I hope I posted this thread for the right pleace, If not, let me know that.

So.. I bought a Galaxy S2.. I head the stock ICS 4.0.3 android OS on it, but I decided to try some custom ROMs. (Thanks for my cousin for that.)

So I started with the ROM S4. Worked very fine, the battery life was good.

In fact.. My question is, that... Can I flash any kind of Kernel on any kind of ROM?

I mean.. If I flash a custom ROM such as Cyanogenmod 10.2 on my phone, I can flash a Franco Kernel on it?

Or. Now I use Vivek ROM bassed on android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean using Jeboo Kernel v2.2. Can I flash on this a Franco Kernel ? Or it will brick my phone?

I would really need an answer.. I've been searching on the forum, but couldn't find anything..

PS: Sorry for my bad english. I'm Romanian, and the English language is only my 3rd language.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aditya.kamble:
:) Hi...

If you installing Any custom rom on your device check that if that rom needs any custom kernel or not . The publisher specified that kernel in their thread. If they not mentioned that it means your stock kernel will be fine with that rom

Any more quesions regarding this.. post below ...

I have rooted this device. I want to remove the bloatwares in order to make it run faster. At present, it runs terrible. I have gone through the posts here regarding custom ROM but I am not planning to do that since it is a bit tricky & I don't want to take the risk of bricking the phone. However, I want to remove the bloatwares which I never use & are taking up space. The important thing I want to bring to your notice is that I can track/wipe/lock/send message/call my phone from Samsung's Dive service on their website. Will I be able to do that after I remove the bloatwares? If not, what is the best alternative that you guys have to this? Please comment only if you've used these alternatives in reality , not just installed them after reading the Description.

Thanks :)

My sd card slot is broken in my mesmerize and i have been using

su
busybox mount -o loop /data/local/tmp /mnt/sdcard
mkdir /data/local/tmp/Android
mkdir /data/local/tmp/Android/data
exit
exit

to get an sd card

but what is the syntax for using fstab to do this.

What i really need is for applications to recognize an sd card is mounted as the only app that works is Poweramp

Is there some intent i can broadcast?

I am using awesome sauce 10.7 with kgb fa16 and red voodoo cwm with lagfix enabled

so everything is ext4

I can post my vold.fstab if needed.

Another question.

Has anyone achieved s-off on the current 4.05.605.14_710RD Firmware using Windows?

I have recieved a second Rez which is S-on with the 3.14.605.13 710RD firmware.

I have read of lots of people having trouble being S-on and on 4.05.605.14_710RD firmware since there is not a full RUU out.

I dont want to Update to 4.05.605.14_710RD firmware unless this is possible.

I am going to use this just for testing things on an S-on Rez.
[HTC Rezound] mikeyk101:
Yes it can be done. I just recently had to do it twice within the last month or so. I cracked the screen on my original Rezound and got a replacement about a month ago. And then had problems with the replacement and got a third. On both replacements, I was able to S-off. You just have to follow the instructions on the unlimited.io site and you will be good. Previous versions required you to be rooted but that won't work on this latest version. This one requires that you be on fully stock (including stock recovery), not rooted and unlocked bootloader. I made the live cd for ubunto and also followed the tips on THIS PAGE. First time gave me a bit of a problem, but on the second replacement, it only took one try.

Yo!

This problem is from a phone using Android 4.1.2 JB--TouchWiz.

So I'm trying to install a new font to my phone--Roboto Condensed-Light to be exact.

I took another Flashable Font I had and renamed and replaced all the necessary fonts in the .zip file.

When I tried to flash the font, the phone went into bootloop.

Is there a certain way fonts must be in order for them to work/install correctly?

Or should I just put the fonts on the SD card and push them to the font folder one-by-one?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shimp208:
The easiest way to install font's to your device is to use a font install app such as Font Installer by JRummy. What you can do is put the font on your sdcard and then using the font installer app select the font you wish to install from your sdcard and the app will install the font for you. As always be sure to make a NANDROID backup in recovery before installing any font's or performing any MOD's just to be on the safe side.

Hello waqar89,

I had the same problem months ago, but I've found the solution here in the forum, there is an app created by some users of this forum that turns Xperia S/P/U from MTP to Mass Storage. I've been using it and it works so fine!

The only requirements that you need are:

->You have to be in stock ICS ROM

->You need your phone rooted and with busybox installed

About the other problem... trying to connect your phone to your car's music player I think it's not possible by USB, I tried it to with no luck.

To test Wi-Fi strength use Wi-Fi Analyzer. You get a decent signal strength graph. You may even find out your Wi-Fi is on the same channel as all your neighbors!

[One (M7) Accessories] cpufrost:
Never had an issue with signal loss. Use an app known as "Open Signal" in the Play store to measure signals. Setting your statusbar to display a numeric value or dBM depends on your rom features. Stock isn't going to do this. Some AOSP roms do.

[About XDA developers] s1nn0n:
Dont take the battery out!

This is what is causing you to lose all your data. All the data on your xdaIIs is sored in RAM not ROM. Which means that as soon as hte battery runs flat or you take the battery out the phone loses all your data.

The backup battery does empty very quick once you take out your battery, so dont do it. Just use the soft reset button on the bottom of the device to perform a reset if it crashes. Dont hold the power button whilst pressing the soft reset button at the bottom as this would also cause you to lose all your data.

Upgrade to the latest rom. Look in the WIKI for instructions.

Worth Buying ?? So many problems ? is it worth Buying ? I was going to replace my lg p690 with this but after going through all the t1000 problems user face. its certainly no no... no custom rom, no custom kernel, virtually no blog to support this device. So its always better to buy from reputed companies like LG, Samsung or HTC. ?

can we overclock this device ? swap support in kernel ? ext4 support on microsd ? Does 64 GB microsd work ?

I read that SAR value in xolo phones are very high compare to others.

xolo x1000 = 1.30 W/kg (head) 1.22 W/kg (body)

did the company expect buyers to show interest only bcoz of Intel Inside or Tegra chipset ? and forget other aspects of a smartphone.

I agree reputed brands can't be compared with xolo or micromax, as they cost almost twice in comparison, But I xolo should atleast provide proper software support to basic functions like signal issues, overheating, anytime restarts etc., lots of xolo buyers face the similar problems be it X1000 or T1000 or X900.

Hey guys , the one issue which gives only two indicators has been fixed,

3.place the zip file in the INTERNAl MEMORY (it has to be in the internal memory) not inside any folders, flash it using Xolo care.

4. Go to Settings > About >Phone , you'll see a new base band version. 3.3.5 :) this will fix the low signal issue :)

Did you have your contacts synced to your Google account? If they were synced to your Google account you can navigate to https://www.google.com/contacts and all your contacts will be preserved and you can then sign into your Google account on your phone and all your contacts will be restored. All did you make a backup of your current ROM before flashing CM10.1? What you can also do is use Kies export feature and export your contacts to a file that you can then transfer to your device and import in Android's built in contact app.
