I really appreciate the hard work everyone puts into these modifications. Still an android noob.
I have RC4 installed (and a few nightlies previously)
1) How do I delete write protected files in the system folder such as ringtones and alarms that came with CM7? I've tried different file managers but I only get errors. I have my own media, and the media choice lists are just too darn long.
2) The radio update posted in development, does that have to be flashed every time I wipe and install a new nightly? Or is it permanent? What if I wipe all of the phone's storage folders in clockwork?
3) Do new kernels, such as Ladios', have to be flashed over a "fresh" cm7 install or can be be added at anytime with no ill side effects?
Some minor things I've noticed
-Custom media put into a ringtone or alarm folder on the sd card tend to be repeated twice in media lists.
-The gps icon gets "stuck" in the notification bar even when off
Thanks!!

1) You have to be in recovery to remove things from /system/. Or you can remove them from the .zip before you flash the rom.
2) Its permanent. The only way to change/revert it is to flash another radio.
3) Can be flashed anytime.

When you install an application you get an icon you can place wherever you want.
The problem is that when I reboot, some icons always appear at the end of the last panel, like when the app was installed for the first time.
I've tried reinstalling, unistalling + deleting cache partition and delviks chace + installing, and whatever I thought It could help like "fixing permisions" in xrecovery.
I'm sure this is not an application problem, because I got it once and when I updated the phone (flashed a newer rom version) it fixed. The problem is I don't want to reflash the phone.
So what can I do? What file stores the apps icons position?
Thank you!
Hi, I'm using galaxy S2 and experiences the same problem.
rather discuss in this thread than open a new thread as it seems the same issue (android not phone)
anyone can help?
(I don't have an SD card, cuz I've searched and seen discussions about apps moved to SD card will make their icons run around)
Hi everyone,
Just want to ask how to make the MIUI music app detect my music files. Im using MIUI-1.9.16-SGS2-beta10.

is it in the external sd card ? then try renaming the folder anything other than the word 'music'. it seemed to have worked for most folks.
Or get Poweramp it works and its very good too.
hey man..thanks..i have poweramp..just want to try the miui music app will try your suggestion
when I had MIUI, it didn't scan sd card media files by default like it does on other ROMs. shame, because I liked MIUI otherwise.
miui music player
the first time i put some music in my sd card it could find them but the next time... no..
no matter where u copy them...
any solution?
Found this thread researching the same issue. Go to settings > filter by folder, and make sure they are checked.
this fixed it for me
I've tried MIUI several times (different builds), and I've always had this problem. Just on a hunch, I tried something today that fixed it for me. Might work for you too.
1. Installed ROM Manager. Chose reboot into recovery mode.
2. In recovery mode I first fixed permissions. Then I wiped Dalvik cache (I suspect this didn't really do anything, but I did it, so I include it). Then I went into the mount menu and mounted sd card (it said unmounted before).
3. Reboot
4. Watched the music player starting to count up all the missing music.
i am currently building a rom for the samsung captivate built off 2.3.5.
The base im using is stock - deodexed/ ziped / minorly changed
this base flashes and works just fine!
what i am doing to it:
remove bloat.
- at&t apps,
- protips.apk
- remove broken swype
- remove stock email (not gmail)
- removed stock launcher
change to hacked camera.apk
remove bootsound
remove shutdown sound
change bootanimation
added user apps in data/apps
added widget picker in system/app
changed default wallpaper in framework_res.apk
changed install script
changed CSC
custom twwallpaperchooser
everything works fine through the install.
but durring the "setup" on first boot " phone setup wizard " will force close right at the step where you setup your google sign in.
BUT THATS NOT THE PROBLEM, (just the first sign of it)
the real problem is any apps installed after flashing do not show up in data/apps
any apps installed through the flash are there, but any installed after ARENT.
and no they arent on the SD card.
the apps will slowly disappear after installing one by one.
when i reboot THEY ALL DISAPPEAR!!!
it seems that the apps install to cache or memory.
as the memory gets cleared or you reboot, they get wiped away!
i have tried various things to fix this
i have rebuilt my rom MANY times.
with and without my framework res changed file
with and without my custom install script
with and without removing stock launcher
with and without changed CSC files.
with and without twwallpaperchooser
if i flash the base i was working from again, all is good.
this only seems to be an issue when i flash data/apps from the zip file. however i have used a script from a rom that successfully flashed data/apps before without this issue, so i do not think it is a permission problem....
im stuck and lost.
more specific, rewritten description i emailed to a few friends
holy hell i bet youve been busy...
me too, i finally have my rom built. for KH2 KJ1 and KJ2 !!
have it down to an easy process now. install script working!
but im having one final issue and cant find any useful info on it anywhere and its very specific
**I know KJ1 and KJ2 install any app to the SD if possible by default. any app on SD will not be affected by this issue ***until it is moved to phone
if I build my rom to install apps to data/app (through cwm flash )- any app that gets installed after (through market or sideload) will slowly disappear after some use or immediately after reboot. they also will not show up in data/app or system/app when installed ** once again not including apps on SD. and if apps on SD are moved to data/app they do not end up there. they disappear.
this leads me to beleive that they are installing to cache or memory, as the memory gets cleared or the phone reboots. they are gone!
if i build my rom without user /data/apps (and without that part of the script).
everything is fine. any app installed after shows up in data/app and is still there after reboot.
i have also used unmodified scripts with and without the package_extract ("data", "/data")
that have been known to work with the original rom they were taken from. without the issue i am seeing.
so i do not think it is a script / permission issue not allowing the system to write new data to that location. but i could be wrong.
my rom is ready for release once i can get this last part figured out. otherwise ill have to release with no user apps... any input would be greatly appreciated.
thanks again!

one search i came across mentioned something about possibly not being converted to rfs, but I have flashed to stock with re-partitioning ( rfs for sure ) and the rom and kernel i am building does not support it so that shouldn't be an issue.
from what other rom builders have told me this is an issue with gingerbread roms.
have apps copied to SD card and ask users to install manually.
Dude just found this post....sorry i was busy with KJ2
glad you got a tempory fix
ya you gave me the fix in the PM! LOL

Hi,
ICS runs fine on my S2 (I´m on LPF right now, very stable ROM), but one thing annoys me a lot: ICS keeps changing my standard ringtone and notification by itself... it somehow seems to be connected to connecting the phone via USB in MTP or storage mode. Other users have the same problem so it´s not a phone issue, but rather ISC. Had the sam problem with a custom rom (Clean Blank Rom) so i guess it´s a core ICS problem. Tied anything, from putting the ringtones to the injternal SD or system/media and tried converting the ringtones from Mp3 to OGG ... still it changes occasionally.
Any hints on how to get to the base of this problem and solve it?
Thanks,
Kusie
P.S.: always do a full wipe before flashing a new ROM, so this is no cache issue

I was running on different ICS ROM version (all stock), but never had this issue.
ATM, I am on XWLPD and using mp3 files as standard ringtone and notification sound.
Maybe it is caused by a combination of different things, so that this issue does not affect all ICS users.

Most probably, yes... maybe it´s connected to a certain app that is causing this problem... yesterday evening I moved my current custom ringtones and notifications to /system/media/audio and deleted all other ringtones/notifications/alarms from the internal and external SD cards just to check. Did a reboot, changed the rintone and notification to my custom ones and charged the phone over night ... this morning I unplugged it from loader and checked my audio settings and:
ringtone: unknown ringtone (dammit!)
notification: Moonbeam (bummer! not my selected custom notification)
This is driving me crazy.
I´m thinking about going to recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache - as this is recommended often in the custom Rom section AFTER installing a new rom to avoid troubles - only question is: will this result in any data or app loss?
EDIT: Ok I think I found the culprit: i seems my volume sceduler "Volume Ace" caused the change of ringtone and notify every time it switched to a different audio profile. Deinstalled it and all seems fine....

Hi all
I rooted my Galaxy 5.0 player (YP-G70 US version running 2.3.5) using onesuperclick successfully. Im looking to put a good working ROM (one that has everything working until ICS ROM camera bugs are sorted out).For now I decided to try Eryigit-GB-2.3.6 G70ZCKPA Galaxy Player 5.0 For USA and INT (Rls:3.5) {UPDATED}.Is this the best room with everythign working?????
Also
I want to know do i need to flash with a kernel before i do this.or should i just chose the above rom to flash??
I see two kernels rj and entropy..what are they??are the kernels only needed for clockwork method??what is cwm?
And when ICS bugs are all sorted would i be able to just flash it with that ROM the similar way or do i need some kernel.??
one last question is there anyway to make a backup of my current stock firmware/kernel in case i want to roll back or something goes wrong.
Thanks for help in advance,
No, you can't backup your device as is, not to my knowledge. There is a copy of the stock ROM/kernel floating around somewhere here though.
With Eryigit, I believe that the kernel comes included in the ROM (hence, flashing the wrong variant [eg the INT'L version] will brick your device), so no- you shouldn't need to flash a kernel. check with the page though. ie If it says flash Entropys kernel before (Entropy= US SGP), do it. If not, don't.

Well, actually, flashing Eryigit Rom is quite safe... regardless of what device you have (INT or US)... The only thing is that if you flash the US version (Capacitive Home button) to an INT version (Hardware Home button) then your home button will not function... that is basically it.. no bricking will occur.
If you do flash the wrong version of Eryigit's rom, just simply flash the right kernel and you are good to go. No need to flash the whole rom over.
So... Eryigit's rom is quite good GB rom. I use it on two of my 5.0 players (INT) and it's quite stable and everything works...
Any of these current ICS roms (and future ones for that matter) will more likely contain the kernels as part of the rom... just flash the package and you should be set... Just make sure you read all the instructions carefully because a failure to do so WILL brick your device... ^_~
As for the backing up your stock rom... I believe there are a few stock roms (along with instructions) to be found in the devs section if you decide to go back. Your stock recovery will not allow you to do a nandroid backup.
thank you, can anybody post here the direct download link for that updated Eryigit rom. There are various links in that thread(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465144) i don't know which one i need.
EDIT:
nevermind; i found it.
i was able to flash the Eryigit 2.3.6 rom after flashing with DD_01142012.tar without any problems.
Im having couple of probelma with the updated Eryigit rom. The music shortcut icon in the bottom left corner ont he main screen always force closes. (Although the program works in apps menu). the 2nd thing is the battery does not last longer.
Are these are known issues???
UBefore you flash to a new ROM,,ALWAYS no matter what you have to make a nAndroid backup.to do this install clockwork mod (search,its not very difficult.I can't tell you now how to do this) then reboot in recovery,backup and restore,backup.
This will make a rom just like your system.
If you can wait a few hours,I will upload a thread hot to install CWM for dummies
Don't forget to press the thank button!!!
Thanks for the correction, cvc.
If the program launches and works just fine in the app drawer, but the icon FCs consistently, it's might be due to a faulty file in either the /data/app folder and/or the /data/data folder.
Try deleting the shortcut first, then re-making it from the app drawer. If that doesn't work...
Backup your device with CWM before anything.
I'm assuming that the music app you're talking about came stock on the ROM, which means its in your /system/app folder. Since I don't know the name of that specific music player, look in those folders for a file that matches the name of your music player (all of those start with "com.") in the /data/app and /data/data folders with Root Explorer or Ghost Commander. Delete, then reboot. Remake the icon from the app drawer. If that still FCs, repeat, except that before you reboot, open the .apk file directly from /system/app folder.
thanks i will try that.
also one more problem
. no matter how long i charge the battery never goes more then 80%. is this a know problem.??

it will charge up to 100% eventually i used to have this problem too, but that was with my old player.. i got it replaced with a new one and it didnt have that problem no more... so depending on whether you got an old version or new version this will happen...
