[Q] Logcat gone missing - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
I am trying to find the logcat(s) of my phone. It runs on CM7.2 RC1 with void#echo and I can't get a logcat. I already tried the following:
-Log This: Gives no result, aside of System Environment Information
-adb: "Unable to open log device '/dev/log/main' : No such file or directory."
I could not find said directory with a File Manager either. I guess the logging function is somehow disabled. How can I enable it?
Thanks for helping!

Bump
Was the question too stupid or too difficult? Anyway, here's a bump to try again....

Someone?
Anyone? :'(

Nope users dont feel like helping ignorant people like yourself .
Was the question too stupid or too difficult?
Try Samsung forum .
jje

I am very sorry for being ignorant, but it's exactly the reason why I am asking this question.
Your answer was nor really helpful, I won't go to samsung (if there were a Samsung forum, I only found the one from Cnet anyways) to ask for a solution for a problem with a flashed device.
Could it be a kernel issue? all I could scrap together from the old Void /Phoenix kernel is that "Journalism" is removed....

Update necessary for Newbies ?

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?

[Q] Branded, straight to Villain? + more questions.

Hi, I would have posted this as a reply in the debranding thread but I was not allowed to since I have less than 10 posts. Someone did post a similar question there but it was not answered.
I am guessing that I do not need to debrand my rom if I am planning to install Villain 3.0, do I? All the boot animations, and whatever has been branded will be gone right? What about the CSC number? That is used to see what region I am in, for market purposes or something? How do I make that the default UK one?
I would first install CWM, then flash Villain? Do I need to root it in the process? The rom I am installing will be rooted right, so, I don't actually have to do anything?
What are the codes like umm.. XWKDD?
There seem to be so many codes like that, I don't see what they are, google didn't really explain anything... does each country have a different code?
By installing a custom rom, would that code be changed?
And, I tried to look for this as well, there aren't any other screen off animations, like the CRT one are there? I will be very happy to have the CRT one, but, I'm just curious.
Thank you very much!
-edit. i don't see why this thread was tagged as 'epic fail', and 'refusal to search', i don't see how i failed something or won something, what is the main goal to fail/win? if the objective was me finding answers, then i would not say i failed, especially when i sought out help from the forum, thus would it not be you who failed me (an not really, as you guys have no duty to answer questions) and how is anything 'epic' about this? what is the difference between tagging this thread as 'fail', and tagging it as 'epic fail'? would 'fail' simply mean that i made a spelling mistake or something? honestly you guys... aha
and about the searching, i did search, i did not ever say that i refused to search, thus you cannot say i did refuse to search, as how do you know what i did or did not do? i did search just obviously i could not find specific answers, if you have something wrong with telling me the answer when you know it, then you could give me a clue or something? if you know where in a thread i will find an answer then sure, but it is difficult when no search results seem useful, and no offence but i do not want to read 400 pages of posts about something. but yeah, ok, thanks.
i am happy that i got one reply at least.
Damn... so many questions ... xeu csc is for uk... most roms comes with multicsc so you can choose (uk is default)
If you install CWM you wil gain root access
You have to root if you wanna use Villain
The letters arent that important... just choose the newest rom
Ok and so, there are different ways of rooting right?
So, if I install CWM via Odin, and then Villain, I am set to go?
I read that some kernels come with CWM, like this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
So it is possible to have two clockworkmod recoveries at the same time? Would this be bad?
I thought the kernel and the recovery were separate. Maybe I am misunderstanding something.
Due to the fact that I will use Villain, I would be on ninphetamine or something, it seems this has CWM in it, so, I am worried about having CWM on my system twice.
Can anyone clear this up?

[Q] jailing my android device to only one app

Hi folks,
first of all I want to say that this is the very best forum for Android I have ever seen. I've got so much usefull things here! Thank you for this great help.
But now I have a project to solve, where I have to modify an Android device, so that the "Standard"-User has only 1 App to start.
Every other things like settings and so on have to be password protected.
I do not even find a hint where to start investigating for a solution.
How could this be done? Do I have to :
- write a new Launcher?
- write or compile a new kernel?
I do not want you to give me a ready app or kernel or whatever I need.
I would be glad to get a hint where to look or how to start.
I have tried to find a similar thread or topic but I have not found anything.
I tried jailing and similar word in the search without a proper result.
thanks, for reading this
regards

[Q] Need help on Root 9100G 2.3.6

Hi Folks,
I want to root my S2which is currently on GB 2.3.6 with following specs:
Model : GT91000G
PDA:I9100GXWLC2
CSC:I9100GODDKL1
Phone:I9100GDDKL1
Android Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version:I9100GDDKL1
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7 [email protected]#2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWLC2
I wanted to root without much flashing and here is what I was thinking.
1). Get the insecure Kernel and flash it.
2). Get install SU with help of Galaxy2root.zip application
3), Once rooted flash it with original Kernel.
Now my Question is: For my phone specs:
1). Where I can find Secure Kernel and insecure kernel? Links and name of kernel is preferred..
2). if I flash insecure and then flash secure kernel, will the binary counter increases?
Any other preferred method for rooting ensuring stock ROM is same?
thanks
SAM
Read the stickies. The only particularly important detail is that you have an I9100G. The rules tell you to search before posting, do you really think in the year the phone has been out, no-one thought to ask how to root?

Hey man..given that its a forum..people can ask questions. Lot of time even after reading on forum you may still not figure out whats right for you..so chill.
Help me with the answer...
He did help you with the answer. All the info you're after has been asked for on here hundreds of times before (and answered). If you can't find what you're looking for with XDA search, do a Google search and append XDA to your search terms (do you know how many results I just got with "root I9100G XDA" ?).

Hey boss..Same line of argument..Did u even read my questions..I am not able to find kernel both secure and insecure .. just want to know what kernel I can use..If I am mentioning this it does shows that I have gone through material on net etc.
Help and move on..
Answers for such basic questions are almost always in Development sections (sticky threads, guides and so on). So I strongly recommend you visit: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1585413 , these users will be definitely more likely to help you. General section is occupied mostly by i9100's users, and sorry but we have no idea about i9100G.
One word. Bull****. I.E - I don't believe you. I absolutely do not believe that I can type those search terms into Google, get all those results, yet you somehow can't.
I know what the issue is here. You can't be bothered reading. You want the information spoonfed to you. We don't do that here. People here are encouraged to read & learn. If you were asking a question that was complex/difficult, I'd be more than happy to oblige you. You're asking basics. Answers to basics are easily found with only a minimum of effort on your part.
That you can't be bothered even expending that minimal effort says a lot. It tells me you'll probably try and take shortcuts when you do work out how to root your phone, and experience on here generally indicates people who do that end up with borked phones.
I am moving on. And I certainly won't be offering any help should you end up borking your phone.
Also, you didn't say please in your OP, which shows me you also lack manners. In fact, your entire OP has this "I want, I demand, give me" smell to it.
You might want to take a step back & reflect for a moment that it might well be (actually, this is certain) that you are the issue here, and not the two people who have replied to your OP thus far.

thank.. I will search..Only reason I am posting here is that I cant post it on Development. Seems Tough to get Original Kernal and insecure. one.. THanks a anyways.
Hey Man,
It may possible that you are subject matter expert and that why you might be senior member.But it doesn't give you liberty to write like this. fact that I am posting shows that I was requesting.
After searching possibly everywhere, I am just asking which kernel etc..it is humanly impossible to all the entries on forum. Doing google only I came to knw the solution I wanted to pursue.
Any ways..I am rest assured that I will never lose my phone by flashing incorrectly.. It will be not because of you but many of other member who are willing to share there expertise without make so much of noise.
No Personal Feeling man..
SAM
