I'm sorry but the kies registry hacking is no longer working, Samsung already blocked the kies versions 1.5.3.10103.102 and lower. Here's the thread

Your only option now is to wait for the official release on your country or Flash 2.2.1 via Odin, remember to backup before doing it coz it'll erase all your data.

I saw that the voltage was available through /sys, would it be possible to create a more accurate meter through that?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digitalmatrixio:
Use "Battery Left Widget" (Avail on the Market) and once trained it will give you a fairly accurate percentage of battery life left.

[Galaxy Tab General] KingofXings:
Ok can someone explain the difference between EXT4 and the regular software the I'm running..... right now I'm using roto jmi firmware version 2, my tab feels fast, quadrant score of 1006 but I hear everyone saying converting to EXT4 will make it that much faster......

......basically is it worth me doing it?
[Galaxy Tab General] le3ky:
EXT4 is a filesystem, not software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4

Its faster than the rfs filesystem the galaxy tab uses by default because of the way it manages **** writes.

So yeah, if you experience random lagging, this will fix it and should make it generally more fluid
[Galaxy Tab General] foxmeister:
Personally, I think you see more performance gains going from stock to a JMI ROM, than you will going to EXT4 from RFS on a JMI ROM.

Yes, quadrant appears much faster, but in real world usage there isn't as much difference.

So my advice is, if you're happy with what you've got, leave it alone for now.

Regards,

Dave
[Galaxy Tab General] w4rmk:
I disagree, I ran on a JMI rom with the original file system for about 2 weeks and then upgraded to EXT4 and I definitely noticed a speed improvement. Well worth the conversion since it only took about 10 minutes and went very smoothly.
[Galaxy Tab General] KingofXings:
this is my point exactly, my tab runs smooths, feels fast enough so i wonder how much faster can EXT4 make it??

i suppose theres a part of me inside thats never satisfied and even knowing that there is a possibility that i could potentially make my tab faster makes me wanna switch to EXT4.....

but i have 3 questions..

1) what does quadrant scores actually mean in real life?

2) does using EXT4 over the standard RFS effect or improve battery life?

3) and will samsung revert back to RFS if i ever decided to change roms?
[Galaxy Tab General] gwbard:
In my experience, converting to EXT4 (first) made a remarkable improvement even on the stock ROM, then installing the Overcome ROM was icing on the cake.:D

1) quadrant scores don't mean squat (IMHO)

2) possibly -- due to more efficient I/O

3) doesn't matter -- once you do change ROMs, you will never go back to any "Samsung" (oem) ROM.
[Galaxy Tab General] KingofXings:
ok ur making me wanna make the switch but does it matter that my tab is already running the roto jmi firmwire v2 b4 i make the conversion to EXT4?

plus is overcome that much more better suited to EXT4 than roto jmi?
[Galaxy Tab General] gwbard:
I can't really answer about Roto's for sure -- I started with the stock (JJB) ROM and first applied MoDaCo's r3 kernel

(+ext4 conversion +clockwork recovery).

The MoDaCo conversion was very easy & I rebooted back to the stock ROM with no problem -- then flashed Overcome via CWM a day or so later.

The Overcome (and MoDaCo) ROMs were meant for EXT4 specifically -- not sure about Roto's, maybe someone else can answer that. If I were you I would have the Overcome zip ready to go on the sdcard, so you can easily get back to CWM and flash it if Roto's doesn't work out.
[Galaxy Tab General] zamane:
If I switch to EXT4, will this cause a compatibility problem with my PC which runs windows vista? More specifically, can my windows vista laptop read the EXT4 formatted microSD in my gtab ?
[Galaxy Tab General] Stevenjcarney:
Converting to EXT4 only converts the OS partition. It does nothing to your SD cards, which I believe are in the FAT32 file system.
[Galaxy Tab General] fwelland:
....So while we are talking about EXT4...Has anyone considered EXT4 on android with consideration of read/write cycles?

Some background: I've had several netbook and still have a dell mini 9. They have always run linux (specifically fedora). All have had SSDs. SSD have (and I guess newer SSDs still have) and number of read/write cycles that are finite (before you should expect failure). This is somewhat like the mean time to failure for spinny/mechnical HDs.

There was mild concern in the netbook forums that journalling filesystems would 'encourage' premature failure of SSDs. By 'premature', I mean happen sooner than expected as journalling FSs do all sorts of read/writes for the journal maintenance....For many, my self included, it was felt that this is not a huge issue as the number of read/writes was pretty big and that you would 'grow out' of the device before the time it takes to get to the number (or the device is obsoluted).

So, SSDs are flashed based. Is the android file system devices like an SSD? No idea and I think not. I bet many internal android storage devices, including SGT's, are flash based. I suspect the read/write cycles are a characteristice of flash memory and not an SSD thing.

So are journalling filesystems (specifically ext4) a concern on andorid for this reason? For me, probably not (i'll want something new in a year anyway...)

FWIW: ext4 and probably other journalling FSs have a way to turn off the journal features. The idea is that you'd get the other good stuff of ext4, but not the excessive read/writes (i.e. wear and tear on HD or SSD). Some netbookers, opted to do this while using EXT4; I never did. I wonder if the android ext4 'stuff' has this on or off?
[Galaxy Tab General] corodius:
Well, the Samsung RFS stands for Robust FAT File System, and it is basically FAT with Journaling slapped on top for protection, so I am guessing the journaling isn't too big a problem :P

But, this is exactly where the problems with RFS come in, it is a rather slapped together filesystem, and the drivers are none too great either. Whereas, EXT4 is a filesystem made for linux, and all the drivers etc are a heck of a lot better.

To the OP, the major benefits come in when writing files, such as installing programs etc, which is a LOT quicker. One of the main problems with the RFS setup is it takes comparatively forever to sync/write each file to the flash because of the slapped on journaling on a filesystem not really meant for it. There is a slight increase in speed/responsiveness all around because of the more efficient I/O, but yeah that is the major benefit.

Personally, I have gone to Overcome's v1.2.0 rom and kernel, ext4 filesystem etc, and will not be looking back. I also have the good fortune of being in a household with 2 tabs, the other being my father's which he does not want to even root let alone flash, so I will be doing a video comparison between stock and mine in the next few days, for all those interested in seeing the benefits compared to stock.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheesejam:
Hey, my stable ROM of like three month went into a bootloop today. I couldn't get it to stop, so I backed it up, and went back to a back up from about a month ago. There are a few contacts and apps and I would like to recover (especially contacts). Is there any way to recover these things from the back-up (even though when I restore the back-up it bootloops)? Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikflip:
If you added the contact to your google account you should be fine. Your apps if from market and you paid for them are in the my apps section of the market. If you didn't add the contact to your google account and didn't export the contacts to you sd card, you are sol. If the apps were free, just redownload them from the market.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
You can restore certain sections instead of a full restore, so mess around with that.

Also you can mount the SD and do a little exploring to grab apps and data. Really I don't have a good guide for you since I've never been in your shoes- but it's a start, eh?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheesejam:
Thanks for that advanced restore tip. I tried that a bunch of different times and I know that my needed contact information is in the data section of the restore.

Does anyone know how to look through this data section on the computer or something? The information must be there somewhere, I just don't know how/where to look!
[HD2 Android SD Development] nkognegr0:
For the record i dont make roms! I downloaded this rom from miui.com and added the english pack and the old market since the new market wouldnt download for me. I have been using it and so far only thing that doesnt work for me is the Theme Downloader. Try it out and let me know if it works for you. I have only tried it with Magldr but the rom comes with a SD rootfs.img too so it should work. Someone check the data i use a mifi for my mobile net so im not sure if it works or not. Enjoy

Data is confirmed working! This rom is Android 2.2.1 using warrens 2.6 kernel.

UPDATE - Ok i added an updated 1.2.19 version which fixes the force close when setting wallpapers and the new market is back and working. MIUI 1.2.25 has dropped now and 3dak has released an sd version already.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
so in preperation for gingerbread, i upgraded my hboot from 0.33 to 0.35, still using cyan 6.1.1, and now my download speeds are slow and cannot break 0.2Mbps. upload is fine at 1.5Mbps with great latency 190ms.

so should i revert back to hboot 0.33 till i am ready to install gingerbread? or is there somethign i am missing? hope this question has a solution! thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
No, those people have no idea what they're talking about. Hboot is not related to data speeds in any way. Radio version could be, but again, I doubt it.

Just to verify, I ran a speed test at home 1.33mbps down and 1.29mbps up (I am on hboot-0.35.0017). That is pretty good for where I live and no where near slow.

Don't worry about it.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
Any Bell i9000m users out there ? Do you (did you) have the faulty SD card issue ? Are you able to successfully flash ROMS ?

I have the SD issue (I think) -- when I upgraded to 2.2 it Froze on the reboot and was stuck there - I had to do a recovery / wipe / clear cache and then it rebooted and is fine - but I think and suspect the SD card is faulty since it's not the first time I've had to do a reset.

Anyways, I'm thinking about trying out a ROM because my phone is ridiculously slow. I should also add I don't know how to root it (z4mod doesn't work neither does superoneclick)

But I am worried if I flash custom ROMS and Kernals etc. that I will lose everything -- anyone come across this concern ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guestx00325:
Hey,

I had a galaxy s with an internal sd card failure. i had to send it to samsung and they fixed it for me while putting the new 2.2 firmware on it.

if you want to try out a custom firmware, try seeARM's custom firmware. unlike other custom roms, this one uses a JL2 modem, which (assuming you're using this in north america) will let you also use the 850Mhz for 3G data.

the JL2 modem is suppose to be good for the bell phones because it doesn't increase the chance of internal sd failures (so i've heard, but I can't be sure about this). so if you want a custom rom, you can try to read up on that.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thrashavich:
If it matters I've got a sony ericsson X10i from AT&T (North America)

already rooted, using a stock 2.1 rom with .54 baseband.

I want to switch over to 2.2 and fully optimize my device.

This is the procedure I believe I need to go through.

Please tell me if I am missing any steps.

1-Use flash tool to install latest baseband (.55 right? I would appreciate a link to this)

2-Reroot?

3-Install Busy Box and SuperUser Access

4-Install Xrecovery using flash tool?? (would appreciate link)

5-Install "TMR_CM_6.1.3_DesireX10"

6-install dual touch

7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)

8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)

So am I missing anything?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xepter:
dont worry bout the baseband all you need to do is root it (if not yet rooted) install xrecovery, move TMR .zip to your sd card open xrecovery on phone back up rom if you want factory reset wide dalvik cache wipe cache and install custom zip then boot thats it.

might want to install gapps afterwards.

if you already have BB .54 it will keep dual touch and jitm busy boxm xrecovery etc are already included in the rom.

i'm not sure bout the app2sd thing
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gohwh1:
Use recovery to install, don't use flash tool. Most ROM are released for installing via recovery.

6-install dual touch

7-install JIT (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)

8-install App2sd (Is there a guide to do this for 2.2?)

All is included in 2.2
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
There`s a big confusion here.

1. You don`t need to flash with latest .55 baseband unless you want to. You can find baseband HERE;

2. If you already have root and xRecovery, just install your desired rom directly through xRecovery. ROM

3. If you don`t have xRecovery or others go HERE, download Flashtool and install. If you have ANY dough go HERE to see how FT work.

4. You won`t need to install ANYTHING after. All these ROM/MOD came with all that pre-installed (root, xRecovery, JIT, app2sd, dual toutch, blá, blá, blá)

Period!

Don`t confuse the man. Don`t talk about you don`t really know!!!
