anyway of rebooting phone into recovery mode with adb
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
You can use adb for that only if your phone is powered on (NOT in recovery).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
adb does recognize the device even if it is in recovery though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
I realize that, but he asked if he could boot INTO recovery via adb.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Ha ha, you guys still haven't told him how to do it!! :D

Type: adb reboot recovery

Or get terminal emulator from the market and type in su then press enter then type reboot recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
For some reason I was picturing a scenario where the phone wouldn't boot into recovery via the buttons, so I neglected to include it, that's my excuse :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Just typing adb will give out all that adb can do ;)

Take a look at the attachments and tell me if this is normal. I had the Skyrocket for 3 weeks and never had this issue. The colors are so washed out (shades of gray in particular.) I loaded the my beach hd live wallpaper and the midnight theme is greenish and pinkish on the dark sky.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
The grey shades is not completely consistent for the phone, but its still much better than the problem I had with the Galaxy SII T-Mobile. What is shown from the screenshot taken matches exactly with what I see in real life, so my only conclusion is this is a software issue that hopefully can be fixed.

I also tried the blue, red, green shade and they look pretty good.

Hi can you please provide a step by step how you were able to get it through kies? Because I have kies mini up on my laptop and when connected, it says that I have to reconnect phone again. Can you please go through step by step how you were able to connect to receive the update? I hate waiting for the OTA. Thanks

i got my phone last night and came straight home a updated through kies, it was easy. I was kinda on the fence about using kies because of all the vibrants it bricked back in the day. But it was easier than i thought, it took about 30 min due of my slow ass 3mb dsl.

Now can someone point me on how to root? Superoneclick isn't working anymore so can someone point me to the right thread? Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] UntamedDeviance:
I finally broke down and tried to update through Kies... My computer shut down halfway through the process because of a stupid windows update.. Now it is stuck in 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.'

EDIT: Nevermind, I only bought it 2 days ago, so I just exchanged the phone :)

Superoneclick won't work u need to use the original root files posted by Melvin when u flash root u will get installation aborted u have to flash a few times don't leave recovery just flash it again! I got it on 3rd flash. Trust me. Me and afew people did it this way.

I understand that rooting voids the warranty so just in case I need to use that warranty I can just unroot the device. Im not sure though if they'll know if the device was rooted even if you unroot it.

Factory unlocked Neo with root getting ICS?

guys, but what about this situation? (don't be surprised at my possibly noob questions)

I bought my Neo unlocked, I rooted it some time ago, but now I'm curious about the ICS update..will i have to unroot to do the update safely? I didn't delete any of the junk/unnecessary apps, i just froze them..so, I've been reading across different threads dealing with updates for rooted phones, and it seems that I'm gonna have to have to unfreeze the apps, unroot and then do the update via PC and not OTA..is that right?

what I would like to know is this: is it possible for me to uninstall all the unnecessary apps and then upgrade to ICS? I would uninstall only a few apps such as the chinese and japanese (POBox) keyboard, News & Weather, Office Suite, and probably just a few more minor ones..

Some say I can both keep root and upgrade to ICS without any problems but I read in many threads that I shouldn't do that, especially if I uninstalled any pre-installed apps..
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] BigKenW:
I have read through a few forum posts and done some searching, yet never found an answer to the following question:

- If the HTC View 4G is just going to be used as a WiFi tablet, with no intentions of running on Sprint, can HTC Flyer ROMs be loaded on the device?

In other words, if I don't care that the 4G or carrier capabilities are lost, can those ROMs still be loaded? Or could they be stuck on Gingerbread forever?

The reason I ask is because I purchased two of the View 4Gs as Christmas presents because of killer deals this week. I know both recipients will be all about rooting and ROMing.

Thanks all!

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] BigKenW:
Thank you for the links. That at least answers the question with a NO.

Besides the fact that it is no, I am not seeing why that is? The linked post asked a great question as to what was different, but I don't see that answered. If it is really technical then fine...could someone break it down for me at a high-level?

I would assume that this is because of the CDMA and WIMAX radios built in?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] mcord11758:
As far as I understand what you stated is correct. There is one rom for the view atm
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Search a little harder and you'll find a post from me sometime in the last week were I listed the reasons.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] BigKenW:
Thank you globatron. I saw one of your posts had this:

"...there are hboot, partition, address space, boot offsets and a few other things that are different. It's simply not feasible without a HC compatible view hboot."

I also saw in the same thread that it appears that HC will release for the View at some point soon. Given your comment above, once an official source comes out from HTC, does that mean that it might be possible in the future? Just no promises?

It sounds like it would depend on how HTC went about developing the View HC source in relation to how the Flyer HC source was developed.

Interesting stuff.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
The list of honeycomb reasons is the same as the list of differences between the two and the reasons for a flyer rom not working on a view.

I can say for certain that the ROMs will still not be cross-flashable under hc.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Shadow Guardian:
Guys i have a way to install the official ICS ALPHA Firmware on the I9003

1.Requirements

First thing to do is to fully charge up your phone to a minimum of 60% battery life to ensure that your phone doesn’t turn off during the installation process.

Make a back-up of all your necessary data as it is vital to have a copy of your original files since we are installing the alpha version of ICS 4.0. Most of the current features won’t work right now and you may have trouble in accessing your data.

Enable USB Debugging on your phone by navigating to Settings > Applications > Development > USB Debugging.

Disable all unnecessary computer processes like antivirus software, firewall programs, and PC suites as they may interrupt the firmware installation process.

2.INSTRUCTIONS

1. Download the ICS firmware from here

2. Connect your phone to your PC using a USB cable.

3.Do not extract the zip file.

4.Put the zip file in ur sd card

5. Boot into recovery or clockworkmod recovery.

6. Select install update from sd card. U can move around by the vol. buttons and select by the power key

7. Now select the zip u copied earlier

8. Wait for 5-10 mins. The process will complete and it will reboot

9. And now u hav ICS on ur Phone.

Remember ur doing this at ur own risk. I am not responsible for anything that happens. Its still the Alpha release so do expect some software or hardware issues!

I don't know how exactly your phone is but first please pull out the battery and then put in again to make sure it is not just a freeze. If the phone is stilled died just plug in to computer to see whether it works.

I think it will be better to flash the ICS directly after you flash the 2.3.7 official. You don't need to get out of recovery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
Hi all, if the Mods don't mind I was hoping to create a thread where we can all share our Text Icons that we have made or used (as long as we have permission from the original creator).

Many of us use text icons for our launchers (ADW, LauncherProPlus, etc.) as well as for Desktop Visualizer (As a widget) and since a lot of people have been sharing their home screens and asking how it's done, I was hoping this thread can be a repository for those icons.

First, the easiest way to make your own text icon is via Simple Text

It will save your icon you make as a .png file and then you navigate to /sdcard/simpletext/ where it will be located by the text name you gave it.

I also used icons from deviant art (I will post them when I have more time)

Standard Resolutions

ADW EX Launcher Dock: 126x126

Desktop Visualizer 1x1 Widget: 256x256

Anyone know of any text icons using the "Roboto" font? I have the font installed on my computer so I guess I might be able to make some custom ones, but I'm unsure of what the 1x1 resolution is.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JayBeezy802:
How to make Roboto Text Icons using Simple Text:

So go to /sdcard/simpletext

make a folder called "Fonts"

Install(copy) the .TFFs for any font you want to use, in this case I installed all 4 versions of the Roboto fonts (Regular, Italic, Bold,...)

Now, when you go to create an icon through simple text and go to change your font, you should see the Roboto versions (or any other versions) you installed.

I've thoroughly enjoyed my short ownership of this device, but after the OMG nature of ICS wore off, it's really just an average phone.

I've ordered a Galaxy Note and will be here Monday. Despite touchwiz, slow updates, blabla, the Note just seems like an incredible device that can finally allow me to leave my laptop behind.

Not trolling, just posting as others may find interest in the Note once the newness of the Nexus wears off.

If you are interested in buying direct, PM me. I will be very fair on the price if it's done outside of eBay's ridiculous fees. Steinheil protector + spare, case and absolutely mint with everything.

No, this isn't an ad for my phone. It's jut a post that's intended to generate discussion on the comparison.

I came from a note and got the nexus and I don't regret returning the note at all. The note had very bad color banding or at least mine did. Also videos were horrible due to a halo effect that would show up in a white background. I hope it was just my unit but it seems like many were having the same issue as I did. The only thing I liked much more about the note was the battery life. Would last me sometimes 3 days! Nexus doesn't even come close...
