Hi guys,
I am running the Lite'ning Rom v5.0 XXKG6 on my Orange UK Supplied SGS2. I would like to know if it is possible or if anyone is able to get the Orange Signal Boost App to run on this or any other custom ROM?
I don't really want to go back to the standard Orange ROM, but could really do with the UMA Signal Boost App as I get very poor signal in the office.
There is another thread which talks about this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1036713 on the Desire S, but they haven't managed to get it to work, however I beleive that is becasue they are trying to port it from another device. Whereas we know it works on the SGS2 already!
Thanks in advance for anyone who can help or make a suggestion
Sorry to bump this, I was wondering if I was the only Orange UK user who would like to use UMA Signal Boost App on a custom ROM?
I guess you didn't see this thread then on page 1 of this forum.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
I'll keep an eye on this, because it's the only thing keeping me from running a debranded ROM!
Nope missed that, I think it was because I kept searching for UMA, which didn't come up in the other thread!
Suggest everyone follows the existing thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1208830
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, lets hope an APK is developed soon.

Orange Signal Boost - I9100 / ICS 4.0.3 xxLPH - SIM Card Not Recognised
Hi all – I just wanted to give my experience of Signal Boost on ICS xxLH.
I followed the instructions given by 5aq1b on page 18 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20803760&postcount=172) using the SignalBoost.rar posted by Joey2o11 on page 12 of this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19692151&postcount=119).
When I restart my phone it does not recognise the SIM card.
When I copied the new default.prop to /system, I was given the option to merge with the existing default.prop.
Was this the correct choice or should I have first deleted the existing default.prop?
I've restored using CWM so no problem.
If anyone has any advice it would be greatly appreciated.
I really do not want to return to the stock Orange ROM but I'm not so happy about having to stand at the bottom of the garden to make a call .
With thanks
I am also trying to get this working, would love to use a custom rom, but rely on the signal boost app! If anyone has any ideas i am willing to try them out, in the meantime i shall keep trying!

Hi, first of all great forum
after reading all the forums, I am very eager to upgrade my XDA II with original ROM Version 1.66 to WM2003SE
but I have many questions that I want to clear before going for it.
btw, my setup is, I use SonyEricsson HBH-660 Bluetooth Headset and Socket Wifi SD card. both works fine with my current ROM but the HBH-660 can display any caller ID nor even the caller number or name.
Is there anyone who use these accessories with their XDA II that upgrade to WM2003SE but still work with no problem?
Will I be able to use them without problem? will I gain any new functionality after upgrade?
Btw I am from Philippines and the ROM I think is original release on the XDA when I got it,
which ROM should I get for the upgrade? which is the easiest path to do it? how can I backup my original ROM (so I can revert if something wrong) or is there anywhere to get the original ROM?
may be there is some guru out there that is near Binondo area that have done it and can help me,
many thanks in advance for any input, I just don't want anything to go wrong when I do the upgrade
thanks again
any help?
read the forum thats all the help you need
read the forum where it says how to update you rom and avoid problems
backup is good if anything goes wrong you can revert back
but first read the forum thats important
Hello,
I have my Hero for a month and know that Android 2.0 is coming...
I would like to be advised if it is good to update my Phone which is version :
2.6.27-a5504199
build : 1.76.66.5 146733
Soft : 1.0.0.A6288
Is this one recent version, is this usefull to update to anewer version... What I tried but not working troughout HTC.com
I know I need to root my phone, but what will it bring to my phone as rextra features or speed...
So, please give me your feedback and if it were your phone what will you do... ?
thanks for your reply
if it were my phone i'd install modacos custom rom 2.9
thanks, but what does offer it more ?
it gives you everything that it says it will in the first post of the thread over at modacos forums. or here at the forums. i believe in you, you can read all that.
yes I can read, and I've already read the topic at modaco... but nothing clear for me, and is it quicker than my original ? exept the radio update cwich give me better signal, what can I expect ???

it is way faster. and has some tools. and is rooted.
To add to what all above members have contributed , I can say that
Modaco is a master chef and adds all tasty ingridients and spices to our taste.
sorry can we just take a step back a moment? (sorry to sort of hijack this thread with another question, though related)
can someone explain what rooted means in terms of these phones?
im also new to using smart phones, great phone, though when something goes wrong its bit more tricky to sort out.

you can execute commands as user "root". means you can do everything, including access every part of the filesystem, delete/replace/alter every file. wifi or bluetooth tethering needs it for example. also droidwall, which can control web access for apps.
ok i understand that. so does that mean i could delete things like the stocks n shares app along with peep and other things i dont need or want?
Would this enable me to change the colour of the menu bar at the bottom or even the whole theme itself? if so could someone direct me on what to do?dont want to mess anything up.
but also as buzjay asks is the new update neccesary?
sorry these questions must sound so simple lol just want to make sure before i go delving into the bowls of the phone.
thanks
- yes
- yes. ask someone in the themes section who already did it or find out by looking at their themes.
- it is not "necessary". your phone does make calls without it, doesn't it?
Hey guys! I got my atrix 4g around the end of may and i haven't regretted switching from iphone since! . But i don't know alot about android hacking, modding, tips, tricks, features, etc, so as you can see i need help. I was wondering if some of the AMAZING people on the android forum could maybe take me in as an "Apprentice" so that i could learn all the hacking and tricks about atrix or android in general , like i knew when i had an iphone?

How did you learn when you had your iPhone? In most cases most people will search and read this forum time after time and then they fig, it out. So my advice is to read and search before you want to start asking questions im sure somewhere on this thread there is the anwser you are looking for. If you cant find what your looking then you need to find someone in the dev. forum and be nice and they might will help you. There is alot of really good devs out there that are willing to help you. I am a noob too that came from iphone

Yup, read a lot, search a lot, and you will have to try a lot. If you follow instructions, most of the time everything will go fine, but if it doesn't, you also need to look for the answers you will need to get back on track. You will get frustrated a lot, but the best way to learn anything is to try things yourself, and learn by your mistakes.
There are plenty of resources outside of XDA to learn about Android. There are some very good guides in the Atrix forums here also which will help you. Don't expect the devs to teach you programming. You will have to learn that yourself, but the devs will help you when you get stuck...........if, as was said, you treat them nicely!
Remember to post in the correct forums also. You will bring down the fires of hell on you if you post questions in the dev forum, themes in the general forum, etc.
lol thank you both, if its not too much can i run a scenario by you?
you may well know that gingerbread is comming to atrix [:{D>]

1) HKTW is a Chinese version of ginergbread more or less (i.e. Hong Kong Tai Wan), that happens to be usable on a U.S. AT&T Atrix w/ a unlocked boot loader. It's pretty buggy, since it wasn't specially designed for our device or carrier.
2, 3 & 4) To return to stock, which you will have to do if you flash any ROM before being able to OTA (Over The Air) update, you have to flash (a nice word for install) a fresh sbf. A sbf file is a original source file from Motorola that upon installing (i.e. flashing) will return your device back to stock, more or less. For instance, if you were to flash the 1.26 sbf onto your phone, it would exactly like the way you got it from the store; everything back to "normal" and stock. So before you do this you make a backup of your stuff, preferably on a external sd card. That way if you have to flash a sbf file and return to stock for what ever reason, you can re-install your stuff with minimal effort. Here is a good guide for flashing a sbf, explaining what you need and what to do:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072
and here is another for all the sbf files currently:

I'm sure you have more questions, so ask always, and I'll try to help when & where I can.
Ok, so I'm assuming you are running a U.S. AT&T Atrix??
So the first thing you are probably going to want to do is get Root access (like getting a jail break on iphone, more or less):
- If your on 4.1.83 firmware (the most current). You can check by going to setting -> About Phone -> System Version. You will need to use Gingerbreak to Root your phone. This will most likely wipe your phone, so save what you can on your pc, ext. sd card, etc.
Instructions here:

And Crap, my wife called and whats to grab a bite to eat... start there, and I'll edit and add to the post later.

Hello all,
I'm trying to get a working version of CM7 on my girlfriend's phone and tried the following versions so far:
cm-7.1.0-RC1-Cooper-KANG-Grif_07
update-cm-7.2.0-RC1-GalaxyAce-KANG-AXEL
both have one deal-breaking error on her phone: DATA is NOT working, wifi instead is fine!
I tried to flash her original modem from one of the threads here too (DXKPD, South-East Asia) and entered the correct APN setting for her Operator manually but DATA still not working.
Is there any way to make CM7 work on Indonesia's Indosat Network or do I have to flash back to stock ROM?
Please help fast, she's bugging me already and wants to have her working phone back ;-)
Thanks a lot
Is it any fashion or something as all posting question thread in Dev section
Apply apn manually
Still not happen then use ddkq5 baseband as work always fine for me
Not know any other baseband
How to fill apn
name of apn-
Apn-
&
Authentication type-none
Just fill only these things
In my experience, it's never a good idea to "modify" someone else's phone/pc etc: he/she will always blame you when something is wrong, even if is his/her fault or lack of knowledge.
So, get her phone back to stock is my advice.
Btw Pal, why are you postin here? Moderator should move this to general.

its like a pandemic now
first, u should post this on general section..
second, r u sure the apn setting is right..? before u change rom, is the data network working..??
b'coz i also use indosat, n until now i've tried the kph, kpn, kpd baseband on stock rom, cm 7.1, cm 7.2 all working well.. now i'm on gingercruzt kpd without any problem too..
Hi there, I am fairly new so apologies if I am posting this in the wrong area or if this question seems ridiculous.
I recently put Gingercrust Sonygenmod 1.1 onto my LG p500H and it has increased performance a lot. Here, however, is my dilemma. It will not register either SIM card I have now in the phone (Telus/Koodo), I am not sure if this may have to do with my location, but I doubt it.
The other issue I had was that if I put the phone into 'Airplane Mode', it will not turn back off when toggled, even with a reboot.
I have tried to post this in the thread that this Rom was downloaded from, but due to my being a noob to the XDA Forums (Love what I am learning ) I cannot post to try and get any assistance from the uploader of said Rom. I cannot message him either.
Does anyone have any advice? Or know if there was a released solution I have not stumbled across?
Appreciate any help or witty bashing anyone can supply, ha ha. Have a good one!
You might have different baseband, Gingercrust is for old baseband so if you were on stock GB before which has new baseband, so upgrade your baseband or search for some baseband fix.
