Hi peeps me again. I now have cyanogen 4.1.1.1.1.1 thanks to a guy on here but now i have a question everytime i make or recieve a call it say unknown number. Is this something that needs fixing on a future update or is it in settings somewhere or do i need to add another mod of some sort.
Many thanks
Steve
Has everything synced up correctly?
It does seem to have but how would i find out for definate. 1 thing i forgot to do is a wipe before installin 4.1.1.1 could this be the problem? If this is the problem would i lose all the apps and themes i have already?
If you have Apps2SD then no, you won't loose your apps, but if they're on your phone, then you will loose them if you wipe. Wiping also deletes your settings too.
I'd try wiping and reflashing if I was you.
I tried a factory reset and that done nothing but i will try a wipe. Am i right in saying i will have to reflash cyanogen and radio? Or just cyanogen

just the ROM, not the radio.
Usually after u install a new rom and sign into google u'll see sync symbol in the menu bar. once its gone all your google info should be synced to your phone. if the sync is not complete, and someone in your contacts list calls u the # will show up w no id. after every flash give the sync about 10 min depending on how big your contacts list is.
Once u get comfortable w flashing roms you should definitely partition your sd card. since most roms are apps2sd enabled when ever you install apps they are stored on the sd card. so when u start up with a new rom they automatically show up. partitioning also provides with alot more space. for now download "back up for root users" in the market. the app backs up all your settings, bookmarks, apps etc. and u can restore them after each flash.
partition info can be found here. if you are using cyanogen's 1.4 recovery thats good, but i'd like to recommend Ra's Dream recovery. it makes partitioning smooth as butter. i hope i explained everything right (chime in if not). and don't worry we've all been there.
right im all sorted with my numbers and everything now cheers guys, just one question what is the recovery image all about? when does that come up? what does it do? also how do i change the screen lock to a different style, i do like black and blue rather than the green standard one
Thanks for the help so far your doing great and stopping me from pulling my hair out lol
cheers

Hi guys me again just thought I would let you know I have amon ra`s recovery and its wicked. All I need to know now is how to change the colour of the screen lock or to change it totally if anyone can help with that pls

Just flash a theme you like. Just make sure its compatible with your rom.
I have a theme sorted and its the blue metal one on open home although I'm using it through dxtop. Does anyone know if there is a way of just changing the colour scheme of the screen lock? When I was on the dudes rom it had a nice funky blue and black screen lock but now I'm on cyanogen 4.1.1.11 its got a not so nice green colour (I'm just not keen on green tbh) are there any custom screen locks out there at all?
Cheers

No you won't be able to change the color. You can look in the theme section and see if there are any themes you like better. I think they are all better than any of the open home, ahome, or dxtop themes. Or you can modify your own theme the way you want it.
Hey,
I am in the process of delivering a rom that should be very simple.

The purpose of making it is to create a clean rom for people that might not want everything customised. eg. having a blank cardboard box. You can do anything with it.
A simple rom for simple people.
The improvements will be that it might be a bit faster and a bit more space.
i will in the future be creating a rom that is customized
Make it root, take away everything except the essentials, use launcherpro as the default launcher and your done!

Good luck to you bud, hope it will be soon because would be good to see how it performs over stock and other modified Roms.
And just a little note to everyone moaning about this already. if you don't like what he is doing then you know what to do. don't download it then you won't have lost anything will you. he is doing this in his own time with no funding so maybe not should grateful. why don't you create your own Rom and then we can moan about it!!!!

Although you are correct in some way, that wasn't a very smart question. Not everyone likes one same launcher right? But does that mean every dev and android phone manufacturer should put about ten different launchers in their ROMS to suit everyone's needs? Ah, ok!

Hey new member here,
I was wondering if someone could help me as I am ultimately (hopefully)trying to put Touchwiz 4.0 on my sgs.
I stumbled upon this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1058164 from a responding poster, but rather than risking following it and possibly bricking my phone, can anyone tell me if its possible to do this if my version is already 2.3.3 and xxjvo? So basically can you put a ROM on your phone that is also 2.3.3/current firmware but a different X.J..?
I have been through the process of rooting my current version(successfully) and also I tried to manually deodex it too but get stuck using the cmd commands in the instructions in this guide: http://androidforums.com/droid-x-all-things-root/158274-how-manually-deodex-your-phone.html e.g. I get "permission denied"...
Finally, considering my ultimate aim is to put touchwiz 4.0 on my handset, if there is an easier way to customise my current version 2.3.3. XXJVO i.e. a good ROM I could use compatible with my version that can use an available TW 4.O or any other good features this would be useful. idk, I think I don't really understand what is compatible with what and what ROMs etc I can use...
I am kinda new to this whole flashing, rooting stuff so please be patient with me...any help is very much appreciated!

We're all new at some point mate
Yes you can revert to an older version, you could even go back to eclair if you wanted.
If your looking for TW 4 I would recommend Tweaky ROM 4.1 It has TW 4 and still has a stock feel. Its the most stable TW4 I have used.
If you already have Clockwork recovery you dont need to flash JVH or a custom kernal

No problem mate. You dont need a deodexed ROM so long as you are on at least JVH and have clockwork.

Thanks again beerdaddy,
when you say "at least JVH" what exactly do you mean? does that have anything to do with my firmware version 2.3.3 or the XXJVO stuff? I kept reading other posts for a solution before posting and all the JVB, JVH and JVO talk confuses me.
Also are JVO and JVH incompatible/compatible or two different things altogether?

Hey beerdaddy,
Thanks for the info yesterday. I managed to put the ROM on successfully . However, i have encountered a couple problems and the only thing i installed was Tweaky_ROM_v4.1_No_Wipe.zip.
Since you have used this before do you know how to fix two things that have FC on me:
the email app and swype
Swype lets you draw a line but makes a sound when you complete a word and the word does not appear in the text box. The email app just has a blank screen then FC. Also, are there any other common problems i should also know about too?
In this version I no longer have CWM there so how do i reboot into recovery etc? How will i apply any suggested fixes. Thanks in advance
Edit: i found cwm when pressing power and selecting recovery that put me into cwm recovery albeit an older version than what i had before e.g. Power button is used for select not middle button.

No worries mate
I haven't heard about the email app or experienced a problem with the email app so not so sure about that. Did you wipe Dalvik cache? If not try that.
Swype has a fix, you can find details on how to fix on the first page of Tweaky ROM thread under the tips and other things section
Edit: You can get in to recovery using the extended power menu or the three button combo (vol up + home + power key together)
Edit 2: You should wipe data for email app too from the manage app section in settings

Both issues are fixed now and it is quite perfect except for the odd widget acting up but I don't use them.

No problem
Not so much a tweak but I would recommend Voodoo Control Plus app of the market. Makes it easier and clearer managing the ext4 lagfix and unlocks some amazing power from the amp giving you great sound quality.
The 7 lockscreen add on is good too which is found on the Tweaky thread, gives you SGSII lock screen plus the usual lot
EDIT: Which widgets aren't working?
K. I'm giving that voodoo control a go and have dl 7 lockscreen. I'm assuming you install it through cwm the same way as every other .zip file?
The widget that doesn't work properly is the "days" widget. I don't use it so its not really a problem. However, if you put it on one of your panels and try to click it it FC's the TW launcher and goes into the phone app. This means you have to choose a launcher again but I guess this would only really apply to someone who uses it; I was just checking out what the days widget was and how the diff widgets looked. cheers
Yeah just the usual installation via cwm. Never tried that widget....you can use another app called Nitrality to remove system apps and widgets you don't want/need

There are two widgets that seem to not be working one is the "power control" widget which appears but with out any actual power controls(basically just a blank screen) and the "days" widget where you can place it on a panel but when you click to edit it it FC's the TW launcher and puts you in the phone app
I don't use them though but found this out because I wanted to see how all the panels/widgets looked.
btw does the SGS2 lockscreen work like in some video I saw where you get your missed messages etc on it and sliding across takes you straight to the msg app?
EDIT: This is kind of a repost because I came back to edit my original reply but it wasn't there for some reason; hence this reply.
Yeah the lockscreen has the text and call slides
Edit: The power control widget will work, you need to stick on to a home screen and then reboot your phone. I personally use the extended power control widget of the market tho
will probably get that one from the market. Thanks for all your help on this. I feel thoroughly welcomed! Cheers

Well, Watsa was doing both. Both sides of the fence, if you will. Just that many more happy campers!
I just have to say....thank you thank you thank you.
This ROM is what the Captivate should have been the entire time. It took me awhile to get up to 2.3.5 with GB bootloaders and figure out how to flash it, but all of the info is there one the forums.
The SGS II email app alone made it worth it for me since I can now have my phone on WiFi and get my EAS email with zero problems. The stock 2.3.5 email app was still buggy for Exchange when WiFi was on and this fixed everything.
One question I have though. Can I pretty safely install each iteration of the Illuminance ROM over top of an older one? That is the only thing I was unable to find on the forums. I took the chance and installed 1.1 over top of 1.0.1 and have had no problems. I am just curious as to what is recommended.
Thank you again!
Anyone can make a non-transparent scroll down status(look like stock) for Illuminance v1.1 ROM?
The transparent one might get lag sometime... I am not sure why...?
First... Let me say that I am loving this ROM so far. I have not really been happy with any of the GB ROMS (Paragon RC6 on Froyo was my fav). Anyways, for some reason after flashing this ROM (coming from Obsession with Talon Kernel) I cannot get to me ext_sd card through CWM. From what I understand the CWM thing is part of the Kernel, so I downloaded the latest Samari 1.2 Kernel and flashed that. Still the same problem. Downloaded the Boog KJ3 Kernel and still the same problem. Any ideas what would cause this???
For the record my method for getting around not being able to access the external sd card is to put the files in the phone storage and flash from there.
TW4 for Illuminance
Anyway TW4 can be ported to Illuminance.

To answer your question, yes. You can safely install each iteration of this ROM over or on top of an older one. Right now, each is a full wipe version, meaning you'll have to redo all apps and stuff, but in the future IlluminatedOne said he'd be doing upgrade versions. We'll have to wait and see. Either way it's well worth any effort. This is a great ROM

Just for clarification... the internal 16GB sd card is called /sdcard. And the external sd card is found in the /sdcard folder and is called /external_sd. So is it the internal or external sd card that you're talking about?
Also when flashing anything CWM only allows you to go thru the sdcard (internal one), it says something like, 'install zip from sdcard', it will display the folder for your external sd card but won't let you install from there. That's why everything needs to be on the internal sd card before you try to install it. Hope this helps.
I got FC when I tried to use MiniPaper widget for the first time. And now when I try to open it, it won't open and I can't write anything. Only thing I can do is drag it and delete it. Any idea why?

I get the impression that TW4 doesn't work all that well with GB. For some it works better than others and that's why a lot of DEVs have switched back to TW3, much more stable and no FC's. If you want same look with more options you might try GoLauncher Ex with the TW theme.

Hopefully we'll also get some kind of a understanding of IlluminatedOnes direction.... I1.2 or A11 or dare I say it...BOTH

I got more (twice ) reasons to do both.. Though Apex 11 is a team effort and I'm just a small part.

I just have to say....thank you thank you thank you.
This ROM is what the Captivate should have been the entire time. It took me awhile to get up to 2.3.5 with GB bootloaders and figure out how to flash it, but all of the info is there one the forums.
The SGS II email app alone made it worth it for me since I can now have my phone on WiFi and get my EAS email with zero problems. The stock 2.3.5 email app was still buggy for Exchange when WiFi was on and this fixed everything.
One question I have though. Can I pretty safely install each iteration of the Illuminance ROM over top of an older one? That is the only thing I was unable to find on the forums. I took the chance and installed 1.1 over top of 1.0.1 and have had no problems. I am just curious as to what is recommended.
Thank you again!

Anyone can make a non-transparent scroll down status(look like stock) for Illuminance v1.1 ROM?
The transparent one might get lag sometime... I am not sure why...?

There is no way a transparent image can cause lag. All PNGs are optimized.

First... Let me say that I am loving this ROM so far. I have not really been happy with any of the GB ROMS (Paragon RC6 on Froyo was my fav). Anyways, for some reason after flashing this ROM (coming from Obsession with Talon Kernel) I cannot get to me ext_sd card through CWM. From what I understand the CWM thing is part of the Kernel, so I downloaded the latest Samari 1.2 Kernel and flashed that. Still the same problem. Downloaded the Boog KJ3 Kernel and still the same problem. Any ideas what would cause this???
For the record my method for getting around not being able to access the external sd card is to put the files in the phone storage and flash from there.

Can anyone else confirm this? I dont have external sdcard so can not test it.

Anyway TW4 can be ported to Illuminance.

I will not work on porting TW4, instead I will try to enhance TW3 included. If you want to try, you can try TW4 from Apex 10 thread. Better, try TW3 from Pinnacle for better appearance and a few functionaries from TW4.

I got FC when I tried to use MiniPaper widget for the first time. And now when I try to open it, it won't open and I can't write anything. Only thing I can do is drag it and delete it. Any idea why?

Was working for me. Any one else faced this problem? Try clearing data for this app and reboot your phone. Check if that helps.

Yes, same here. As I mentioned earlier, CWM will show the folder with the external sdcard but when you choose it, it just drops back to current internal sd card directory. I've never tried to install anything from my external card from this or any other rom/kernel, but I didn't think you could ever install from an external card. Always had to put it in root directory or at least a folder on the internal sdcard.

And when i try from display settings and i get FC too.
Email
Maybe a silly question, not even sure if it belongs here or general Q&A, but can't seem to find answer. In the Notification bar when I get an email, clicking on the pulldown and email, brings up the GMail view of my gmail account. There is also the stock GB email app, which I found I like the view much better. Is there any way to get the stock email view to come up when going thru the notification bar? Or would I have to delete my gmail app?
I apoligize if this is not really ROM related. But I trust you guys

Just use proper ROM. In my testing only Dark Knight didn't like Market, plus it had other issues like nonworking Calendar. Try my ROM, M4 or Doc's V6.

And on a side note - I got my hands on hacked Market Vending.apk 3.5.19 with disabled compatibility and disabled Market self-updates. It is included in my latest ROM. did I say that it's waterproof too?
