Lock screen wallpaper. - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

Everytime I try to change the lock screen wallpaper, everything goes well, but when I check it didn't change. Why?

You might try telling us what ROM you are on and how you went about trying to change it if you want help. Just a thought.

You need to consider upgrading to Gingerbread. Can't help you with Froyo. You can look at the guide in the first link of my signature if you decide to. Unless you are rooted - use the guide in the second link of my signature.

Not that I think it'll make a difference, but what if you try to set it from:
Settings -> Display -> Wallpapers -> Lock screen wallpaper

I figured as much. Odd problem, but like Lumin30, I don't have Froyo anymore and I'm not sure what to tell you to try.
If you're rooted and have CWM installed, you might try booting into recovery and fixing permissions. Past that we might need someone else to chime in.
Good luck

AHHH that was some needed info.
If you was to contact T-Mo or Samsung the response will be saves texts, calls and other important data to sd card and do a factory reset/data wipe. Sometimes android just needs to be cleaned up to run better.

The developer probably needs to update it to work with Gingerbread. There's a lot of differences under the hood with our NS, even if it actually looks a lot like Froyo.
Have you contacted the developer? Here's his website, and there's always an email link in the Market page for an app to report problems and make requests.
Thanks I just saw that it doesn't work guess ill wait for an update.

[Q] Help

Is this the right mod for my SGH-T959? HERE
If so I had trouble installing it. I'm not sure what method works. The only method that worked so far is here [[Heimdall][One-Click][UVKJ6] The KJ6 Heimdall One-Click Collection [12/11/2011]] But its not the Rom I wanted.. I want to install the latest cyanogenmod
Nope. If it's a t959 you have a vibrant. Go to the proper forums for your phone. Look under your battery for the model number.
if it's a t959v then yes you're in the right forums.

I don't think it'll be an issue.
The reason why I suggested the full method is that it'll ensure a clean install without glitches or heartaches later that will require you to wipe after you set up everything.

Very weird...so I factory wiped/reset, then flashed from blue CWM. It did NOT do any "installing voodoo" like it did when I put on Infused 1.x months ago.
Took about 3 or 4 minutes to boot up, and it seems alright so far.
I'll let you know.
Its probably because voodoo was already enabled...but that's strange...it always reenables voodoo when coming.g from cn7 or miui....

I'm downloading that rom now and i will flash it later this evening when i get some free time to see what is going on with the dialer, plus i haven't tried that rom yet and it will give me a new toy to play with for a little bit. Like i said before i had this problem with the Indian rom and it bugged the hell out of me. Give me some time and ill get back to you on this later tonight or tomorrow.

Tried to get the dialer problem fixed and this is above my knowledge. Since no one else has replied your best bet would be to go back to stock or flash another rom where the dial pad is not a problem. Sorry i tried, it's just beyond me.

Is it just an issue with the dialer .apk file, and if so why not mod the rom by using another rom's dialer. apk? I'm not even sure if the dialer and phone. apk's are able to be swapped, as they may be too deeply integrated within the A2's framework. Sorta beyond my knowledge base.

[Q] Need Advice Loading [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid

Hello,
This is my first post here so go easy
I am trying to install [ROM][ICS 4.0.4]Genesis - Stable Build1 - CM9/AOKP Hybrid on LG P999 with no success. I rooted using super one click and made a backup. I flashed 5.0.2.0 to the device and tried loading Mr. Apocalypse's build following every instruction to the letter. The install appears to work fine allowing me to choose options and I get to the reboot prompt fine. I answered the baseband question and opted for the harsh kernel.
After reboot I get the white LG logo then the display dims and there are light leaks of varying degree but nothing after that. I waited about 45 minutes the first time and have waited up to an hour with nothing. I have tried [ROM][CM9][JUL13-Build80] Domination with similar results. I get to the reaper kernel image after reboot and that's as far as it goes. I followed all the instructions to the letter and I have no idea what is wrong.
Anyone that has a suggestion, other than buying a better phone, please let me know. Is there another method I can try?
Thanks in advance.
With Genesis, install it with the stock kernel, then after the first boot load harsh separately. Some phones get a boot loop with harsh in Aroma

Yes, I used the command prompt on my PC to load the NVFlash image. From what I have learned reading that is the only way it will work correctly.
It is currently loading after the initial reboot and at the LG logo with the blue streak, which is encouraging.

Hahahaha, I almost laughed out loud at that. Umm, have you tried just a basic rom, like CM7? Just to compare if it works or something to see if it'll flash correctly and not your phone, and it might be a bad download for genesis. Just to be sure, it is indeed a P999?

I have a GB 2.3.3 on it now that loaded no problem. I tried that two days ago after several failed attempts. I am thinking its something here though because I couldn't get the ICS Domination ROM to work on it either. The GB ROM worked great after I flashed a new baseband to it. I had the static problem before that. It just doesn't want to cooperate with ICS. And the SD card is empty as well, I wanted to make sure there was enough room for a swap file.
I pulled the battery and it boots to the second LG logo and that's where it stays. I suppose both of the ROMs I tried could have been bad downloads, but idk., this has me flummoxed beyond belief. - and yes, it is a P999 (G2x) I bought about a year ago at a t-mobile store. I think it's time for a burial at sea for this thing!
There's always a fix. Possibly a bad download. You could try another CWM, the touch one, because I know a kernel doesn't flash on the touch one, but possibly those roms might flash on a touch recovery. Idk, I'm just babbling here.

Thanks for all the advice, you guys rock!
I flashed the CWM touch and downloaded AOPK Milestone 6 4.0.4 just to see if it would load. I did the same procedure as I have with all the others and it worked. I guess it was the CWM version? IDK, Going to try to go back to Genesis tomorrow. Thanks again to each of you for all of your help and advice.
Good deal. I've been using CWM touch ever since it showed up in the forums for our phone, and I've never had a problem flashing anything

3G - 4G troubles?
I like it so far, much better than the older version I was using. I noticed this morning that I don't get any signal other than wifi. It looks like some people that did not opt for wifi were able to get signal after reinstalling with that option chosen. I did add the wifi initially, but no signal at all for data thus far. I didn't see any settings that I missed, the battery saver data stuff is unchecked and there aren't any others I could find. I am going to reinstall and hope it takes care of it.
A quick wipe and reload fixed it! :good:
