[Q] - General Questions and Answers

hi, as i got not enough posts to be able to ask questions in the development forums i got to post this question here.. i am using a samsung galaxy s2 by the way..
previously was using checkrom v6 so i decided to try out ics roms.. i flashed neat rom but after a few days i decided to flash back to checkrom.. so i restored my nandroid backup but i noticed that my baseband version didnt change.. it is still LPS.. i wanna check if it is because of the baseband version thus disallowing me to update some gapps from the play store.. the error displayed was 'application requires newer sdk version'..
any help? thanks!!

hi.. anyone help? do i flash my baseband to others or i clear google play cache??

Did you hack your device ? , like tricking Android Market into believing that your apps are compatible with your phone when it's actually not . Because if you did , then that's a bad matter . I believe that if you have a back up , flash that backup and reinstall the Google Apps . That works for me ;
After installing the google apps , if you still want the apps which are incompatible to be compatible , I would suggest you to look at darkguy2008's thread . Yes! you will need your brain and your finger for this one . His thread is very precise and accurate , so , there shouldn't be any problem unless you thought it wrongly . Although that i don't think it is wise to do this , however , good luck to you .

thanks for the link.. shall give it a read..

[Q] How can i get apps :(

I have no android market on my phone and No one wants to help me get it on my mobile iam tottaly depressed and disappointed for buying such expensive mobile with no android market , i can't access samsung apps either, neither android market , i need serious help i want to pimp my mobile :S:S:S:S any one is willing to help me please go ahead and leave a reply , thanks in advance
Find your phone in the forum, find a post for a custom rom or check for a cyanogenmod rom (try cyanogenmod.com) and look for the gapps zip file. Unzip it, find the market app, put it on your sdcard and install it. Simple as that.
not really experienced
As iam a new user to Android/smartphones i have no idea about what is ROM :$ :$
when i search the forums for ROM , i find froyo and some related stuff, tho i have no idea to install it.
any further assistance would be really nice
You could start by telling us some information.
Device, carrier, your location (country), and where you got device since it doesn't have market already on it.
good day.
@ chopper thank u for replying , well
i Live in Egypt , i bought the unlocked version of samsung galaxy S , probably it's an middle east version but it looks exactly like the europian with the googleTM on the back and Samsung logo
first of all. i use Vodafone network
2nd. about the phone
Model Number GT-i9000
Frimware Version 2.1-update1
basband version: I9000JXJG2
Kernal version: 2.6.29 ( [email protected]#2)
Build Number : ECLAIR JPJG8
what else do you need me to do ?
NOTE: the Galaxy S is not yet officially released here , i guess maybe they flashed my mobile with an middle east Rom to support arabic ( which is not really important to me )
First get "Astro" (file manager) on your device. And a killer thread is HERE. You can copy apk's to card and install with astro. Good luck.
good day.
i will do it right now , but does this means i will be able to download / install / use the android market ?
Just stumbled upon this thread HERE. Looks like what you need. Get to know the XDA search function and there is a i9000 specific forum as well.
good day.
i will install it tomorrow and let you know of the results , Good night
Thanks and have a good day
stay tuned

Ok here is what i came up to. i guess the solution is to install the Market.apk
and i don't have an apk viewr , and since i have no android market then i can't search it up the android market . but i have the astro file manger.apk , any idea how to view it ?

htc dream ... unregular patch

hi there .....
i dont know when u read this u might say ..." and the noob came out -.-""
this is my first android phone for me and i was locked with the old firmware ...
was so tough to find froyo 2.2 for me and found it here ...
so first of all thanks
ever since i found many people saying " crashes " cuz they upgraded a wrong patch or something like that
i did it right in the first time .... so noob took me 4 dayz to figure out that google market wont work in syria ...
this made me re-patch 4 times ... and got all the crashes and those stuff ....
more ??? since the newbie doesnt know there are alts for the market ... i needed some more apps to be present since i cant have the market
i downlaoded the gapps tiny at first .. then desperately patched the mid one ....
which had the market issue ... i wanted the market " although its not available !! "
so i patched again the tiny one .. but i didn't wipe everything as in usual upgrade ... this way I've got the market solved with much more apps ...
( now im using market alts ... but i thought this might be useful )
thanks for ur time .... hope the newbie added something good for the xda's

WoW!! nice to see a sticky for both general and Q&A for i9003
Hey nice to see this sticky here!
Anyways anyone having a problem with the official twitter app 2.1.2? If I use it for too long sometimes it restarts the phone, and I know it cant be anything else because it never happens other than while using twitter. Has happened twice to me last night and once today.
Well. Then nice to have an improvement. We can at least have a separated topic. But to have a totally separated forum is our ULTIMATE target.

Hi, please follow this instruction thread carefully. First flash XXKPE as described. Then, update to XXKPH. This should solve your problems.
Whew.. Ive noticed more and more users of this phone.. I hope. We have our own thread.. Because some developera like cyanogen yeam cant see our phone development.. And our phone cant even fit for any i9000 roms and kernel and even accesories e.g. Casings.. Tsktsk.. Just asking for your understanding op..

please and help me how i can edit themes ex: xxkph to jpkp5 and edit farmwork.apk......
thank's
Well, our phone is developing. It is a slow developer indeed! Our phone got a custom ROM after some months of it's release,whereas, the s2 got it;s first custom ROM just after 2 days of it's release? Fair or what? Plus, it seems that possibly Ice-cream sandwitch will not be given to our phone! If this thing is true, Samsung is gonna get it from the i9003 users! I think we should work sincerely on certain developements and all the users in XDA who wanna just make their phone 'nice-loooking' should stop making question threads. For example, Even thought htere is a thread for Q&A I see many questions in the devel. area! I think we gotta keep it clean for dev. only! The first step to be taken users! Then, I will also work on some CM7 and all!
For small request dont request by creating new thread. Its really annoying. I think really we should have theme section saperately. Because there are many unwanted requests related to theme only. Plz moderator take this seriously & make a new section for theme.
I will ask for help because this firmware does not have too many theme and thanks
Think the themes are made for XXKPH and they work fine with your FW..! Try it out and then tell me how it went about! B-)

These are already made for XXKPH and I think they can also work for JPKP5. They are the same firmware. Only thing is Arabic support is added. Just have a CWM-flashable theme in your SD card and try out the XXKPH version. If you are stuck into a boot loop, then, you can go to the recovery and flash the theme again! and , make sure your backup the theme made for your phone in the external SD card. ALso, make sure that the theme is a CWM-flashable zip!

Which recovery are you using ???
Check whether the rom package ( .zip file ) is currepted or not [ try to completely extract the copy of the rom using any zip extractor like winrar . If you got any error, then assume that the file is currepted ) . That might be a your problem .Download the file again to solve it :thumbup:

It's not a bug . It came due to the change in larger DPI
I already discussed about it on the main thread and I will tell you once again
Goto System/build.prop. Open it using ES file explorer and give root permissions .
Find a line like this ro.sf.lcd_density=200
Change it to ro.sf.lcd_density=240
Well reboot and the problem is now solved .
However there is always and alternative way which us to install a new dialer like Kk or lollipop dialer via play

S7562 ROM Prob - HELP...!!! High Network issue when on mobile network
Hii Alfas,
I have run into a unique problem, No matter which ROM I install now on my S7562 I have this same issue.
- Turning on the mobile network of SIM 1 takes the network away of SIM 2. My mobile is not reachable most of the time now.
No matter if i swap the sim cards the problem is still there, have tried stock Rom and other Rom's but still no luck.
Not sure what should I do and nothing on Internet I could find to learn.
Any knowledge over it??

Sorry for the late reply ,
Well I have only a couple of suggestions . You tried most of the custom roms , so that might not be a software related thing .
Anyway think about the below listed things ..
1 . Flash a baseband update of your region .
2 . Enable dual sim mode ( I don't know it will work for you or not !)
3 . Take a complete logcat of your device before switching it on (yea , using ADB ) and show it to some of the named devalopers on xda
4 . If you have the warranty , install stock and unroot it . Then give it Do Samsung supporting team .
I my opinions are not awesome but they are the only things to do

Hii,
Right, I am going to try baseband thing first and duel sim mode. No warranty my friend will see if logcat is the only option.
Thanx for your time :good:
FYI,
Baseband thing didn't work. However temperately I have solved this with your suggestion Duel sim mode and also. (Get calls on one sim on another if not reachable)
No Concrete solution so far, lets see if a new ROM with a NEW BASEBAND works...
Thanxd ur suggestion.

Well , in my experience I can say there are no custom ROMs coming with baseband files ( mainly fat.bin ) excluding pure stock . Because wrong base bands may make bad effects on different region . So it is not at all recommended by the developers to provide it to world wide users. But in some case , it is allowed ( not all base bands work on every region ).
Actually , when was this issue appeared ? Came with your device before buying it ? Or after flashing anything wrong?
Also try to flash a stock rom created for your device ( that might include all files ) and check whether that the issue comes from the sim slot due to crushing ... anyway if you wanna enjoy dual sim feature , get connected with Samsung officials

Hii,
There are custom Rom's with Basebands like SGS5 and latest CM11 with own basebands. I guess kyleopen has one too (Not Sure)
This issue started when I flashed may be Hyperx or a PMP than I tried a stock (On stock I was confused if BMJ1 was original but I flashed BMG1) after this the problem started.
Sim slot is fine I have checked by swiping the SIM cards to each other but issue is same and weird. I flashed a BMJ1 baseband recently but no luck with that.
I should try a BMJ1 full ROM as well... right?
Would like to solve it by myself, it should be the last option to go to Samsung
Thanx and Rgds

yea that was the last option . But your comment is not at all true ,
Cm11 does not containing a fat.bin . It is not required on all basebands ... I can say it without any doubt , because i was in touch with the dev of cm11 before . He had arranged everything suitable for hungarian baseband . So he requested to install that baseband and i am the one who informed him about that error . Well I don't know any thing about sgs5 rom . I don't know why he provided that .
Anyway flashing other basebands are not recomended until you change the region . This is not my words , the samsung CEO's . Also as an old user kylopen doesn't contain a baseband .

[Completed] [Q] PAC ROM random reboots on SGS3

Hi , I have Samsung Galaxy S3 and on it I have PAC ROM : KK_RELEASE.dev_20141231-014042 , and Kernel 3.0.64-CM-g22cbf2c . I have rooted my phone with CM installer and had firstly CM 11 on it , when I got bored with it I wanted to some other ROM that would be stable and had some pretty cool features so I installed some other ROMs by flashing them from my SD card as it was in instruction on the internet ... I had problem when I was doing it. I couldn't get my phone to Factory reset , when i would put another ROM and deset everything and delete , when I started the phone it would still have all the date such as music and photos that were on the phones memory ( I could only erase it with the PC ) , I know its not the problem I needed to fix as the title said but if someone maybe know why I couldnt erase all my date it would be great since I am noob when it comes to point of rooting and all that stuff. Thank You all in advence. So now when i found the perfect ROM and put my data back on it after I erase it all with the PC I have so much trouble with it . It reboot it self when I am in the middle of some app or when I switch from one to another ... It happend so much time I figured it put that it happens when i listen to music no matter is it original appolo app or poweramp app I use a lot. If someone could say what is wrong or what I am doing wrong it would je great , I really love the ROM and wouldnt like to get back to CM because of all this great features . If you need more information about something just say I can give you a list of all app I am using etc. As I said thank You all in advence
