Am I the only one suffering this glitch. At first I thought it was simply because the first Froyo roms were still under much needed construction. But now I have tried a slew of them and I get the same problem. I even gave the developers the benefit of the doubt and assumed that it was one of my apps that was causing the conflict, but after refusing to reinstall my apps after an initial wipe, I ended up with the same problem.
These buttons work the first time that the roms are installed. But after the second or third reboot, they become completely dysfunctional. Well, let me correct that: they only serve to wake my phone from sleep mode. But the call button does not call or answer calls and the home button does not take me home.
I feel deprived. My life and happiness depends on Froyo!
nope mate its your phone what phone do you have and what radio are you running, as im running froydvillain and them buttons have always worked no matter the rom and i have rebooted many times

I have the HTC Hero European version. I am using the clockworkmod. Froyovillain was the first one I tried out but now I am using the newly announced Elelinux Froyo 2.2. I do not have this problem when I flashed the Eclair roms. Only when I use any of the Froyo roms.
well mate one dont get offensive.
this is not the post for the rom you use AND THAT IS WHERE you should have posted it
and also i dont have that issues so either your hero has died (im on third replacement) or you did summit wrong

Had such a issue when flashing froyo WITHOUT FULL wipe over a 2.1ROM
So - perhaps try full wipe (system/data/dalvik/..) and reflash.

This post has nothing to do with android development - it is a rom specific (or build specific) question but a question none the less - it either belongs in the Q&A section (yes that's Questions and Answers) or in the thread of a specific rom. The fact that you thought that the development section, where developers bounce new ideas off of each other in order to progress what we can do on the android platform, was perfect for your uninformed and ambiguous at best question shocks me. I'm guessing you haven't even used the search function or found the topic which discusses this exact issue elsewhere (aside from the rom specific nature, which is unlikely to be the case anyway as you probably haven't gone back to a 2.1 based rom to test it) and suggests that it can be fixed by cleaning out the insides on your phone with a non-corrosive alcohol based circuit cleaning agent. But if you had searched around you probably would have tried that and this topic wouldn't exist. [Don't try and get snarky with me, buddy ]
My recommendation would be to try the full wipe as "dont know" suggests and if that doesn't fix it then its most likely a hardware fault. You'll have to actually try to search the forums and read through recent posts in the general and q&a sections to find the hardware fix for this issue.
Your issue is caused by faulty keychars/keylayout in /system/usr/{keychars,keylayout}
Replace those from the official ROM or from a ROM in which it worked for you.
Moved to Q&A, and to clarify, feel free to use the report post button at the top right of posts to report them if they're in the wrong place in the forum, and I'll move them.

Hi guys,
I still possible to make SGS2 unlock the phone as soon as i enter the right pin code on lock screen, without having to press the OK button down the bottom?
Doubt it, asthe ability to lock the sim card be too great. Example: you make a mistake on the last digit. 2 attempts left. You have taken a couple of beers. Ops. Sim Locked
Has anyone found a solution to this??
I've been customizing my phone every day for who knows how long, little by little to get it just how i like it, and this 'OK' button is annoying. VERY annoying. Though, I need a PIN on my phone, and 99.99%of the apps on the market have horrible horrible designs. No offence, but I'd rather stay with the android look. All of the thread's I've found have either told someone to use a third-party app, or use CM10. Well, someone who has almost all of their information on their phone can't afford to install this, seeing as it wipes your entire phone, and for a PIN, that's unnecessary. I don't know what roms are, same with roms. I like the way the touchwiz UI looks on my E4GT(I have fk09 leak installed, recently got this phone, and barely had anything on it). I like the way JB looks with touchwiz way more than it did on ICS(looked horrid).
TL;DR
If someone can find a fix to this, without any third party launchers, or horrible-looking apps, that would be great. If you give a rom, explain how to install it. Thanks in advance.
The rom SlimBean has this feature which I use. It can be found in the lock screen settings.

I'm going to preempt the inevitable question that's going to come following Drexciya's excellent suggestion to use Slim if you want this feature (tick quick unlock in settings/interface/lock screen/screen security).
How do you install it ? Read the first page of the Slim thread in Development. Easy.

Thanks for an answer, but AFAIK, FK09 has no recovery mod, which i didn't realize, and unless someone kniws of one that supports the build,pr whatever, I can't load any mods.. Also, links to specefic topics help a lot..
And you're unable to go to the Development section & look for the Slim Bean thread like everyone else here why exactly ? (using the XDA app on your phone & being too lazy don't count as valid answers).
Re: whatever you're running now that has no recovery, looks like you're going to have to flash something else; another rom that has CWRecovery or at the very least temporary CWRecovery (which will disappear after you reboot) if you want to flash Slim. I don't believe there's an Odin version.

I really don't know how to do this.. Is there a thread for this? I'll just google it.. Thanks anyways.
My point was (is) I don't have a link. If I want to get you a link, I'd go to Development (by navigating the site; not exactly a new fandangled web thingy) & find the thread, come back here & post the link. You're perfectly capable of doing this yourself, yet you expect me to that ?
That speaks volumes about the people who seem to visit here these days. They want everything served up to them on a silver platter with a minimum or no effort on their own part.
Also, from his first post in this thread, he's an Epic 4g Touch user. Any ROM suggestions he gets here are likely to be i9100 ROMs.

And this shows that some people who find themselves comfortable here can't read. I obviously don't know how to get to development, or how to navigate the forums. I don't inderatand how it takes any more explaination that I DON'T KNOW where to look. Get around looking like a smart allic, and actually take the time to help people around. What are you, 14? You act like it, as everyone is supposed to know everything on a site for developers. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that I know nothing about these things. I didn't do the rooting, soneone else did, so stop expecting everyone knows as much about this forum, or everything you are, because they don't. As far as I know, I didn't come here to argue with someone I don't even know, who thinks they're an internet genious, I came here for support. A link is the least of your problems if you think I know where it is. If you don't want to, don't do it, that's simple, just don't do it. Just don't reply, and save yourself the embarassment, because you just made the forums seem like ignorant children with conputers, who care more about criticising people than anything.

Yes, they are both Galaxy SII's. They are different, however, since yours (Epic 4g Touch) is a phone designed to work on Sprint's CDMA network. That phone has a separate forum. There are plenty of ROMs for that device in its forum.
The device this forum is for (GT-I9100) is a GSM phone that won't even work on Sprint's network. So no, ROMs for this phone won't work on your phone.

I was wondering with all the mods I have done to thewebos system, changed kernel, ad blocker, reboot options, etc.) will this affect a transition to the cm port when it is released?
also, assuming it will, how can I get rid of the preware mods that I have done, and I don't mean just uninstalling, what I'm really asking is how can I make the touch pad exactly how it was out of the box. Kinda a full system wipe.
No it shouldn't

Perhaps someone could group all the obvious/annoying questions into an FAQ and have a mod sticky it to the top of the forum. Someone did that in the thunderbolt forum and they update it often so whenever anyone asks a question like that, we just point them to the FAQ.

Although I agree, it won't happen.
If anyone else is running MIUI 2.1.13 with the latest SiyahKernel, could you please try downloading/installing some app or another from the Android market website? Because I live in a 2g area, I have to download my apps from the website. Any time I try to search for an app in the Market on my phone, my connection times out. I have no wi-fi for the vast majority of my day, so that's also out.
I would really like to determine if this is a known issue or if this is an isolated problem. If it's isolated, I'll reflash in hopes that it will work. If not, I'd obviously rather not.
Did you look in that ROM's thread in Dev to see if anyone else reported a similar issue?
I searched the MIUI thread but didn't find anything. It's possible that I missed it, I suppose, but I don't know what else to search for other than what I already have.
Try to enable sync on all Google related services and then using the Market on the website.
If its turned off then it probably won't get pushed to your device.

I made sure that all google services are free to sync as they wish. That didn't do it. I re-flashed MIUI. That didn't do it either, unfortunately.

It didn't look like a jerk response to me. It looked like a reasonable response. He was merely pointing him in that direction to see if it might have been answered, especially since a lot of people on here don't bother to search.
As for the topic, my experience with MIUI is that all the apps never show up in the market, and is part of the reason I've never really stuck with it. It has to do with google not recognizing it as one of the standard UIs on their list for our phone, therefore not all the apps are shown. At least that's what I've seen explained in the past. Hope this helps.

Unlike your response, there was nothing jerky about mine. The guy has 8 posts. It's possible he might not have even thought to look where I pointed him. I said nothing derogatory to him. Any perceived jerkiness is in your head as evidenced by the two following posters. Don't bother with an apology as your screen name fits you perfectly.
Thread cleaned up...
Have the same issue as the author of this thread. Using Nexus S, Kalimchoaz's Rom v. 2.1. Does anyone have any solutions?
I was able to do it just fine on WIUI 2.1.13 -- I probably got around 80 apps that way. However, I was redownloading them and had previously already gotten them, so it may be different. I no longer have WIUI, so I can't check if I have your issue. I guess MIUI may be different than WIUI...
I have the AT&T model and I want a ICS stock root without all the garbage apps and shenanigans AT&T forces on your phone.
I already looked around in the ROM directory and I did find this thread which seems to match what I'm looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1752232
Is the ROM in this link a pre-rooted ROM?
But I need to be careful to keep my phone rooted as I don't live in America anymore and I don't want my phone to get locked or I cannot receive calls.
I am currently using a stock gingerbread ROM rooted.
I recommend Task's ASOP rom I have been using it for months through many updates and it just keeps getting better.

Search for creepyncrawly's guide to flashing. No offense, but you've got a lot to learn, buddy. And uh, I wouldn't post asking questions like "I want this kind of ROM" or "help me learn how to flash again" until you've read a lot, since people around here highly discourage that kind of thing. Just warning you in advance.
Fair enough,
In my defense though I did not ask for explanations in the thread, but links for me to read and figure it out myself : /

If you're rooted you can skip to installing a custom kernel, yes. Make sure to read the flash counter though, it's important that you know how to do that.

Make sure you have clockwork mod installed, if you did not flash a custom kernel you may not have it. If you don't you may need to flash a custom kernel and then go from there. If you know how to get in recovery try to and see if clockwork mod shows up. If its the default recovery you will need to flash a custom kernel from there you can flash whatever rom you want.

This is a self-service forum. Asking people to provide links is just as bad as asking them to do the research for you. There are FAQs and Stickies that cover much of the basics and the search function to fill in the gaps. Even Google searches often return results that end up here. I'm glad you can read for yourself, so start finding things on your own and you'll get/cause a lot less grief in here.

I'm sort of in the same boat, I'm on UnNamed and now with official ICS out I'm looking at development and reading up again and it's getting confusing because I see AJs rom and it seems nice but I don't seem to see (correct me if I'm wrong) Entropy as active on kernel development and UnNamed has sort of been "abandoned" other than Ryudes project. I guess what a lot of people are hoping for is an "UnNamed" style ICS with a very stable stock based kernel, all stock flame aside, that's 100% daily driver capable. I like 2.3.4, does everything I need my phone to do daily, I rely heavily on gps and bluetooth for driving which are some of the issues I read about with the ported kernels, as well as various mic swap stuff which is intimidating to be completely honest. Does anyone know if there is work on something stock based with a DD style kernel? I know this is fairly new ground so I'm not wanting to come off as ungrateful for the work that is going on and that has been done.

I have successfully flashed the ICS ROM/Kernel provided by creepy with the help of the forum members. I did make a few mistakes though, I did not wipe the Dalvik cache or data, and did not bother performing a factory reset before hand. Either way, the phone is running fine aside from my wallpaper image not panning through desktop windows, apparently this has been discussed before; but searching the forums, google, and few pages of threads has been fruitless.

Yes, I agree that preparing to flash something on your phone when you start with no knowledge can be confusing, and overwhelming for some. There are clearly differences in how the mind works from one person to another. Some pick up technical issues fairly quickly, others (my wife, who is a musician with creative temprament, for instance) have difficulty even retaining the technical information they have already learned.
However, you flashed UCLE5 stock plus root from the OP of my thread in the development forum without first doing a wipe data/factory reset. So did you read through the text of the OP of that thread and fail to understand what was written there, or did you just not read it? If you are the type of person that doesn't grasp technical issues easily or at all, then you should not be messing with your phone. This is a ~$500.00 device which you could easily destroy if you do the wrong thing.
Or... you should take as long as you need to fully understand what you are doing, even if it takes weeks or months before you flash anything. Let go of instant gratification for once.
I sure hope you followed the OP of the thread and flashed a custom kernel. If you haven't, then whatever you do, Do Not Do A Wipe Data/Factory Reset while the UCLE5 kernel is still installed.
Further, you have started several different threads and posted in others, all about the same issue, which is very close to spamming the forums. Please make yourself aware of the rules of this place, and conform to them.
As far as the wallpaper issue, I find it hard to believe that you could search and find absolutely nothing on this. All the ICS leaks contain this bug, or feature. The new SGS III also has the exact same issue. You can set a portrait wallpaper but not a scrolling one. There are a multitude of wallpaper programs on the Google Play Store that will fix the issue. You can also install another launcher, such as Apex, to fix the issue.

And I'm going to +1 to all who suggested Task650's AOKP Rom's. I've been running them for quite a while and they're one of the best around.
A few weeks from now my phone just randomly froze and the only thing worked was to restart the device by holding the powerbutton for a long time. I thought that it was just some random freeze but the freezes have been getting worse and worse. Now it freezes almost twice a day for no apparent reason (like in the lockscreen, on the web, in the sms app, in the settings etc etc). Yesterday when I woke up the phone was showing the "Samsung SIII" logo, I guess it had crashed in the night and tried to reboot (?) but got stuck on the logo at the start. My rom would not even start. Took out the battery etc etc but it did not start. Reflashed another rom and the same thing happened today too. Have tried to wipe all data etc and tried 3 different roms and kernels, including the stock kerner but still random freezes. What could be the problem, how should I troubleshoot it? Really annoying as it have been working fine forever until it started to act crazy. Also tried without any playstore apps but still random freezes sometime.

How hard would it to be to actually explain it or actually link to the thread instead?
From your sig "Hit Thanks if I deserve it" - actually no, this time you do not deserve it. You could just have written what it meant. Lmgtfy is so old school.
Use this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.vinagre.android.emmc_check
It'll check the chip and you know is it "SDS" straight away. If says "Insane" you're screwed

Thanks! :laugh: Yeah it the insane chip. Is there any fix beside sending it in and repairing it? Did not samsung release a software fix? What does that fix address? Is it just a preventive measure or does it actually fix anything? I am also rooted and on a custom rom, do I have to reset everything before handing it in? And if yes how do I factory reset it and reset the flash counter?

You have no clue about my profession, education or anything regarding me, do not judge people.

You seem to have no clue as to the rules and just want to be spoon-fed judged by your posts .
Thats all we can judge you by the fact that you have not searched and not even bothered to read the basic faqs and guides .

1. If you'd follow a kind advice from Glebun, making your homework properly, you'd never asked basic question related with it.
2. Education, profession, or anything else is related with the FACT that you're a lazy noob unable to search given link and to find answers by yourself.
Oh, sorry: your profession, based on your behavior here, straightly cannot be related with anything requiring self direction, initiative and motivation.
Finally, your stupid request to copy and paste for your use the clues of the very long thread is a pure example of absolute selfish, demanding and ignorant kiddo, who can face serious problems with that position as soon as he will leave nursery.
Seems that there may be some confusion over who is and who are NOT the Mods here. I suggest that everyone in this thread throttle it back a bit and try to help out instead of a snarky response.
Yes Rule #1 is to Search, but Rule #2.5 is to be courteous to your fellow members.
I'll post it here just in case you missed it.
2.5 Courtesy towards other Members: Treat new members the way you would like to have been treated when you were a new member. When dealing with any member, provide them with guidance, advice and instruction when you can and always with respect and courtesy. Never post in a demanding, argumentative, disrespectful or self-righteous manner.

Thread Closed as OP got his answer.
I do suggest though that you read up a bit more on this affliction, so as your next thread is not fraught with the same issues as this one.
