- Volume rocker no longer wakes phone when lockscreen disabled<br />

***** To change, make sure new boot animation is saved as sanim.zip and place it in /system/media/<br />

<br />

Frequently asked questions

Question: I'm getting a "can't mount /sdcard" in CWM recovery - what should I do?
Answer: While this doesn't seem to happen often, you can download the ADBsdcardFix.zip here - then extract the folder (should be fine to extract it to your desktop) and attach your phone to the computer via USB (I did this while the phone was already in CWM). Open the newly-extracted ADB folder, and then double-click on the CWMsdcardFix.bat - something should pop up on the screen for a brief second, which is completely normal. After double-clicking the .bat file, on the phone go to mounts and storage, then select mount /sdcard - and it now should work!
All the .bat file does is the following code:

adb shell<br />
umount /sdcard<br />
rm -f /sdcard<br />
mkdir /sdcard<br />
exit

Question: I'm having overlap issues with statusbar icons and left/center clock - what should I do?
Answer: Yup - things may overlap, so you will have to change settings to avoid the issue, or deal with it.

Question: After first flashing, my statusbar is missing - what do I do?
Answer: This occasionally happens - it clears up with a reboot. I'm not certain, but to me it seems as though if you are able to get to the home screen before the media scan is complete, you never encounter this problem...

Question: What the hell is TSMParts?
Answer: A huge slew of mods and tweaks - here are some notes on them:
Most of the tweaks start at stock-ish defaults.
The statusbar icon tweaks all require a little effort on your part for changes to take effect. All changes can be elicited with a reboot, BUT for most there are other ways:
- Bluetooth/vibrate-silent/alarm icons -- just change their state (on/off or vibrate/sound, etc)
- E911 -- Go into Settings > Location and security... you don't need to do anything else, you should see the change
- Battery/signal -- these just take time... I have yet to figure out a way to get around that

Question: What is tweaktools? How do I use it?
Answer: An awesome script-based utility accessible via Termainal Emulator (or something similar). To use it, you must have superuser priveleges (i.e. type su and hit enter in terminal emulator), then simply type tweaktools. Then just read carefully and navigate the menus! More information on all that can be done with this incredibly useful utility can be found here - note that while the site itself is geared towards the charge, there's a fair amount of overlap.

Question: So I am in tweaktools, but my app/theme/cwm mod doesn't seem to stick?
Answer: The tweaktools script is always going through some changes, so some functions may not work for all folks. Most situations can be resolved by simply clearing downloads, exiting tweaktools, and going back in after a little time has passed. If a problem still persists, you can just download the file then manually go into CWM recovery and flash it there. They can also all be found here.

Question: The music widget isn't showing up on my lockscreen - why?
Answer: It is disabled as default, but when enabled the widget only works on some of the lockscreens - the options are made unselectable in TSMParts > Lockscreen options for lockscreens that don't support it. Also, be aware that if you have multiple music apps, the widget can get confused - a reboot usually fixes that situation.
NOTE: To de/activate the music widget in the MIUI lockscreen, simply do a quick double-tap on the clock bar. Note that the MIUI lockscreen music player operates independent of TSM Parts settings, and regardless of the music widget being enabled or not I left that one alone - so it should be there no matter what.

 

So here is a lazy screenshot - it's the one listed for the "Default Theme" on tweaktools.

 

Loving the Update

 

Downloading Now.
I can't wait!
Thank You!

 

I cant get it to work. redownloaded and wiped EVERYTHING still wont boot. its the one with the kernel.

 

Try the one without the kernel if the problem continues, then flash the kernel that's linked in the OP.

 

Try mounting /system then do a factory wip then flash it and factory wipe again before you reboot. That's what I did

We should start a petition for Samsung to realease the RIL for the charge and strat to the public. I think we could do it lol

Sent from my SCH-I405 using Tapatalk

 

anybody try just flashing it without doing a full wipe? I would rather not have to do that....

 

You could always try and see how it works - I would just be prepared to reinstall w/ data wipe if there are any issues.

 

I recommend just getting Titanium Backup and using a backup system for contacts/sms/call log
I mean its easier than risking your phone but I doubt it will do anything bad to it.

Can this be flashed with Heimdall?I know on the 1.4 thread you said to "[background=rgb(245, 245, 245)] just pull the factoryfs.rfs out of the ODIN tar.md5."[/background]

Is it the same for Tweaked 2.0? If so how do I do this?

I have already flashed CWR and the kernel onto the strat so everything otherwise should be ready to go!

All of your work is much appreciated!!

 

Yes the same would apply here with Heimdall - though I don't use that program so I am likely not the best source for information on how to use it. That being said - if you have CWM you could always use the CWM flashable package.

 

Im kinda new to this.. lol.. I dont know where to push the zip file to (I unfortunately have no means to read a micro sd) using adb. Any suggestions?

 

use dropbox to get tihings on the sd card.
or use the samba server (funky fresh) and mount hte sd card on your network.

 

Gonna Flash it now. Here goes!

 

Figured it out! Flashing now!

-Looks Great and runs very smooth!

Unfortunately, I had problems syncing my contacts with google so I lost those

 

...Unfortunately, I had problems syncing my contacts with google so I lost those

No good! So they never synced to your google account before flashing, or they aren't syncing back to your phone after flash (but still exist on your google account)?

 

Okay, everybody has to to buy dwitherell some "sammiches". Good Job! Now all we need is the ICS update.

 

Yeeeaaaahhhh!!!!! Lol

Going to try this this weekend, but couple questions ... how is battery life and GPS?

Thanks!

Joe

 

I have to say that this is an amazing update!
Thank you for all of your hard work. I appreciate it all.
Buying the Strat was a bad choice, but you've made it a lot less miserable.
I look forward to seeing what comes next.

Have a Great Day and Thank You!

 

I couldn't wait and flashed... just thought I would report back.

I definitely needed to mount /system. I wiped cache only and didn't wipe all data and so far it's looking good.

GPS lock is good, speed is good (both phone and network). Will monitor battery life.

Thanks!

Joe

 

Been running this for a couple days and the battery life for me doesn't seem to be as good as stock, with either of the versions... in looking at what's using it it seems to be K9 mail. I didn't wipe before I installed. If the drain stays the same I'll try wiping and reflashing.

 

Thanks so much for this! 2.0 is totally bitchin'!

Might be time to finally root/recovery/rom wifeys Strat.

 

Flashed over 1.4. Followed instructions to a T. Stuck in a bootloop...cant boot to recovery......can get to download mode....gonna find something I can Heimdall in and start over....bummer.

 

Did you wipe data before? How did you flash 2.0? If through CWM - did you mount /system? Have you tried to pull out the factoryfs.rfs in the ODIN file and Heimdall that?

 

That fixed it.......not sure what the heck happened but is loading now......nice boot animation bro.

Update: all is well so far. Thanks for all your hard work Dwitherell!!
