Just for villain rom user

(ported from villain rom official xda tread)

Some of issue and their solutions

Q: After installing the tweak for Messaging App to have skin support, messaging app has disappeared from the dock.

A: Open the app menu, tap menu key, choose edit. Drag messaging icon into the dock.

-----

Q: After installing some tweaks, I am unable to enter 2G only mode in the network settings menu

A: Enter *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer, and change the dropdown menu as required for your network settings. To get easier access to this menu, get the app Secret Phone Settings.

-----

Q: After flashing the stock kernel, I cannot use WiFi.

A: You need to reflash CF-Root kernel, in order to get WiFi working.

-----

Q: How can I overclock?

A: We do not recommend you overclock, but you can do so using the Tegrak Overclocking app from Android Market if you wish.

-----

Q: Where can I get VRTweaks from?

A: Here - VRTweaks

-----

Q: Gallery is not displaying my photos

A:

Go to the Android Market.. download an app called "Rescan Media Root".
Open it and click "Re-Enable Media Scanner".
After the scanning process, reboot your phone.

Fix found by geko95gek_xda

-----

Q: How can I remove the yellow triangle on boot?

A:

After flashing VR1.4, boot to system and install VRTweaks from here - VRTweaks.
Run the VRTweaks app and Install the Symlink Fix, reboot.
Now boot into Download Mode, flash any Stock kernel with ODIN. Wait for phone to reboot.
Go into the CWM app and flash the zImage extracted from any CF-Root kernel zip/tar.
Your phone should now reboot and voila, the triangle is gone.

Mini guide by geko95gek_xda

-----

Q: How do I flash a MODEM/Radio?

A: Flash it via ODIN, as a "PHONE" file. Do not rename the .tar.md5

-----

Q: After flashing this ROM, I am stuck on the VillainROM welcome screen.

A: Reboot into recovery (CWM) by turning off the phone, and holding down power + home + volume up. Now choose Wipe data/factory reset, and then re-install the ROM.

-----

Q: What kernel is best?

A: The best kernel version depends on the individual version of the ROM, but if you look in the title of the ROM, it will mention a 5-character code, such as XXKF2 for VillainROM 1.4. You should look for a CF-Root kernel with this version number, or as close as possible.

-----

Q: After flashing VillainROM my browser is lagging, how can I fix it?

A: Download VRTweaks and apply the Browser fix, reboot phone.

-----

Q: Where do I find a CSC to restore T-9, Auto-Correct or to add additional Input Languages?

A: You have to get and flash a CSC package from here - Intratech's XDA Thread

-----

Q: Why is my Android OS consuming so much of my battery?

A: This is nothing to do with VillainROM because its a Samsung bug and hopefully will be fixed in future updates (feel free to write to them if you so wish, we already have).

-----

Q: Why do I get stuck on bootscreen or get bootloops?

A: Sounds like a bad flash. Please check that you have CF-Root kernel installed then RE-WIPE everything and RE-FLASH VillainROM.

-----

Q: Is it possible to select only 2G data use under mobile data in this rom?

A: Of course. Go to Menu -> Settings -> Wireless & Networks -> Mobile Network Settings. Change to GSM only.

-----

Q: Where do I find STOCK kernels?

A: Here - Intratech's XDA Thread

-----

Q: I want to check it out but don't want to re-install everything. How can I do it?

A: If you are coming from a previous VillainROM (post v1.2), it will not require a wipe. If you are coming from a non-VillainROM, it will not boot without a wipe so please do that first before Install.

-----

Q: Can I use the same tweaks in different versions of VillainROM?

A: Sorry no, the tweaks are made for each ROM individually.

-----

Q: I'm still unable to find explanation for all these XWKF1 & ZSKF4 things. What are they, why is there a new one like every week and where can I find the changelog for each of these things?

A: Its Samsung releasing newer ROMs with fixes added, some from different regions. They don't make changelogs, maybe in the future.

-----

Q: I get errors trying to update samsung reader hub apps. Error code 4020 iirc.....

A: You need to flash a CSC from XEU (frankenstein Intratech post), find it here - Intratech's XDA Thread

thanks to kart_man_21_xda

-----

Q: After trying to get rid of the Yellow Triangle my SGS 2 does not boot up completely. Its constantly stuck in a boot cycle. It gets as far as the "Samsung Galaxy S II" splash screen and then reboots. It constantly does this.

What should I do? Reflash the Villain ROM using ODIN?? HELP!!!

A: Sounds like you have flashed a wrong kernel. You will need to ODIN flash a compatible one to get it booting, then flash the CF-Root one via CWM app.

-----

Q: What is mobile user agent?

A: The user agent relates to the browser. It determines whether you get a 'desktop' view, or a 'mobile' webpage view.

Hmm, adhoc for Andy. Interesting. Will try out though I'm a bit adhoc less over here, plus my only adhoc test station (old Nokia running Joiku) is like semi-dead rite now.

Just about to buy SG2 but now kinda hold back due to the Heat issue I read.  sad.gif
*
The naturality of human being is to adopt and react to situation.. One day, they realise that the what so called heating issue not only in sgs2 but all the phone, they will invent casing with cooler in the future..so heating problem is normal and can be neglacted as certain country(with temperature below 15 degree c) find this heating issue as advantage..

I have seen a picture of heat produce comparison between sensation and sgs2.. sensation produce more heat but since it have alluminium body(specific heat high) then u find it not hot but the inside u never know...
I remember 1 member posted about the radiation from sgs2 is the smallest and the highest if from iphone 4...

I am not telling u to buy, but for me this is a very good phone, very good tread progress if u need support or advice, very good developers like pulser(villain rom dev) entertained my request without asking for money and people didnt see the greatness, they always see the weakness...

1. The navisea folder is to be in internal SD card NOT external
2. Did you download the maps ??? The maps data after extracted should be copy to navisea/maps/malaysia folder

i think my concept about the memory is graded C+..
Uncle benny, is the following true
1) internal memory 2gb
2) external sd 11gb
3) if u buy another microsd then u will get another external sd..

btw to be specific put the navisea folder in /sdcard not /sdcard/usbstorage

Now starting to get a clearer pciture.
So flashing ROM does matter what firmware you are on. They just change to the firmware the ROM comes with. right?

Going to buy a sd card first and buy titanium backup pro.
*
sd card is not that neccesary because backuping ur apps usally takes ~300mb

2) I think external SD 11gd is known as USB storage (stock rom)


Added on June 26, 2011, 9:57 am

so i just backup to the USB storage (the 11Gb)?
*
actually if u are using titanium now, the backup will be automatically placed in a folder in /sdcard/backup ( not sure since my phone now is downloading maps) but it is stated when u want to backup later u get an choice where to placed the backup.. anyhow, external micro sd is not neccesary if only for backuping ur apps.. i have done backup without it

YES - I always say ( already lost count how many times I have say it ) - PLEASE READ the details/specs of the rom you want to flash. The rom cooks always specify what changes their rom will bring to your phone. Their thread is the BEST source as they are the ones who do up the rom and they are the one who write down the features and specs.

THis is addressed to new users : Why is that so many times, planning to flash rom guys always ask such questions here - can this XXXX rom do this or that ?? Can XXX rom have this feature ??? Can XXX rom flash by odin or recovery ?? ... and the list goes on and on . Go to the source - and read the specs ; actually if you want more info you can always also post at XDA or even PM the rom developer
It is not that I am not willing to answer BUT the fact is ALL the answers are at the rom thread and since you are going to download the rom there, please READ the thread details - it is only/always on post#1 in the thread

+1.. all u need is reading and reading.. if posibble read the comment also..

Sorry Benny. It not that i didn't read the details. I just don't understand the happening of it. Maybe i'm thinking too much doh.gif

Looks like i better go back start reading "what's flashing ROM" again
