READ UR MANUAL! You have LG PC suit right? Back it up with this! If your phone is rooted, backup with Titanium Backup! (USE search), If your phone is rooted, boot to CWM and do a backup from there, just to be in the save position.

Connect your phone to USB, choose install Driver!

Install it

Then your phone should be recognized, and you should see, if an update is availiable.

If it is, push Start SW UPDATE!

Follow instructions and you have ur new SW installed.

DO a factory reset, since this often solves problems after an update.

Be happy ever after ;)

You need to do your own research. Read the stickies at the top of the forums and follow the instructions once you feel comfortable. XDA isn't a support forum, it's a development forum, these ROMs and other modifications are provided to those who know what they're doing. Educate yourself before you proceed.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] okeycokey:
Hi. I rooted my Tab 10.1 P7500, installed CWM and installed Overcome ROM 10.1.

Very happy with it. But, I have the oil slick problem now and again. Nothing major but need to return it to Vodafone for a replacement in case it gets worse and warranty is up. Now this is where I get stuck. Which stock ROM do I down load to revert back to. Currently, my baseband version is P7500BUKH1. Will P7500XXKI1 ROM do the trick or brick?? Will this also remove the root? Help!Thanks

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonas9:
how to reset custom rom counter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
With a jig. Do a search on eBay for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig". Costs ~$3.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
And also refer to JJEgan's answer "A".
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
If the jig doesnt work its because you need to flash the old bootloader.Newer firmwares have the non-wipe bootloader (2.3.5 and above I think) so flash this in PDA without selecting anything else.Just hit start.But only if you need it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
So there's the reatilmenote $100 off but it only works on new accounts or adding a line to existing accounts. On my current account I have two lines both off contract. Could I create a new line and carry over my existing number and then cancel the existing off-contract one?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
no, you would have to cancel your old number and keep the new number... also that discount doesn't usually work if you have what is called a FAN on your account, giving you a monthly company discount.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Is this only applicable if you order directly from ATT? I pre-ordered (did the add a line) from Best Buy for the $50 rebate plus the free case. I'm assuming I cannot get this discount?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
correct... http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/deals/100savings.jsp
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 00mred00:
could you not "port" the old number to the new line/ thus cancelling the old line in the process?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
OK thanks.

Since you are form ATT, can you confirm a few things that support told me?

1. I have the unlimited grandfathered data plan. Will I be able to transfer this to my Note? I was told yes.

2. This is a bit more convoluted but I'll try to explain. Currently I have 2 phones (an HTC Inspire which is what I am replacing plus an iPhone 4s) on a family plan, none of which are eligible for an upgrade. They're both smartphones with data plans. This is what the ATT rep. told me to do to get the best deal since I can't upgrade:

a. Add a line and buy the Galaxy Note, which requires me to choose a data plan for it.

b. When I activate the Note, have the phone number and unlimited data plan from my HTC Inspire transferred to the Galaxy Note.

c. Take the new line I added, and apply it to an old "dumbphone" that I own, which allows me to drop the new data plan I added.

This leaves me with 3 phone numbers but only 2 data plans. I was told that data plans are not part of the 2 year contract, it's just a requirement of having a smartphone. So if this works, my total additional monthly expenditure is the $9.99 for the new line - again no data cost since it's associated with a dumbphone.

I hope that makes sense. This idea was from someone at ATT customer service, so I assume it's legit. My only concern is that since I have to activate it at Best Buy, they will screw it up and won't be able to drop the data plan or screw up transferring my unlimited data plan to the Note.

Thanks for your help.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
Thank you for the thorough reply AEDan!

With regards to your comments about the SIM, I assume the Note will come with one right? were you just saying that so that I wouldn't take the SIM out of my Inspire and put it in the Note and then wonder why it didn't work? I got my current SIM 1 year ago so I'll just use whatever comes with the Note.

I will do what you say and call customer care and have them move all the numbers around. that way I don't have to mess with Best Buy making a mistake and potentially losing my unlimited data plan or something.

Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] LiquidArrogance:
Got it, thank you! Guess I'll either have to go Best Buy or keep crossing my fingers on Amazon Wireless if I want to save any money . . . kind of peeved they've not mentioned it all! I've called a few times and they just keep telling me that if it's not on the website then they don't know anything :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
See bold above.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] EvoXOhio:
AEDan,

The SIM in my HTC Inspire is like the one in your second picture marked as LTE SIM. So more than likely I will be able to take the SIM from the Inspire and put it in the Note?

Is not being able to reassign a SIM to another number a new thing? When I moved my wife from an iPhone 3G to the 3GS, I called ATT and they just swapped the numbers associated with each SIM. they told me that was the "correct" way to do it and I should not manually switch the SIMs. these were of course the old style non-LTE SIMs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DanMc85:
Yes, you can use your same sim...

Excellent, thanks again for all of your help.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] looperstar:
I was waiting for Sony to release official but am tempted too. The reason I was waiting was the touchpads but I think they have been fixed. Can anyone confirm whether the pads are working as well as the stock ones.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IE-coRe:

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spizzy01:
Well, I've just flashed DooM's ICS and can't get a signal at all. And Keyboard/other apps constantly force close.

Don't get me wrong, ICS itself is miles better than the current stock ROM. But apparently, it's not ready for everyone just yet. xD

FYI - I'm on T-Mobile. Apparently it's my provider that's the issue. I might try a different SIM card and test my luck, my phones unlocked so there's no loss i guess! :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gh61:
Touchapads

Touchpads may be fixed in FXP107, its true. But i think, it will be fixed only one way of touchpad using. The same is in CM7.2. We must wait.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ihsanfauzi:
FXP ICS of course! :D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridder215215:
I think the force closing is probably caused by your phone not being .62

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czp0811:
Now I am using the FeraLab v4 ROM,a quite perfect ROM.

I'd like to change the background picture in the Settings( also Phonebook,sms,etc),then I replaced the "semc_bg.png"and"semc_bg_bright.png" both in framework-res.apk and SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.

However I failed.The backgroud turned black.

Adding more:

I have found the reason why the background turned black.

It is right to replace the semc_bg.png in the SemcGenericUxpRes.apk.

I used another picture to replace it and the background changed.

And the cause was that I chose a translucent picture to replace it and the translucent picture could not be translucent in the settings/phone/sms/etc.

In some ROMs,in the settings etc the background is translucent and we can see the wallpaper.It is nice.

Besides replacing a translucent picture,what else should we do so that we can see the wallpaper in the settings? Could you please tell me?

(Sorry,my English is poor and I have so many questions.^_^ )
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylec:
What did you use to change the file in the framework? Maybe it's a repackaging problem?

I had this problem when I played with mine. It worked when I used 7zip to open the apk, copied the .png to desktop, edited that file in photoshop, then dragged it back in, closed 7zip and adb pushed it back to phone, rebooted and it worked
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
Use root explorer in your phone, i always use it to modify my framework, systemui and genericuxpres and it works fantastic

Open root explorer

Go into your system folder

Select to Extract the both framework and generic

Extract them again, you will end up with 2 folders of the same names in the folder called extracted in your sd

Replace the pics and whathever u need to replace in both the /res folders

After youre done, select the folder called framework and scroll to zip this folder then select go to zip or something(it will popup)

Find framework.zip and rename it to framework.apk

Then either paste it in some random flashable zip or push it to system and reboot(i always use the first method)

Repeat with Genericuxpres.apk

And youre done, always works for me, and ive always themed my phone this way(battery mods, signal, lockcreen,etc)

I also replace icons, mod the launcher and everything right from the phone

I only use a computer if i need a new rom

PS, dont replace semc bg bright only the other one

Just replace both semcbg.png and semcbg bright.png in

Framework/res/drawable-hdpi

SemcgenericUxpres/res/drawable-hdpi

SemcgenericUxpres/res/drawable land hdpi

With the ones from my theme so that it looks the same on your files and you should have a nice transparent theme

(post a screenie if it helped) or let me know if it didnt

I put the png you gave me and it was also totally black.

Now thats weird, did you replace the files exactly as shown in my theme?

Ok new plan, extract only the SemcgenericUxpres.apk from my zip and put it into another flashable zip and flash it straight

That apk is the same across all roms so it wont be a problem, but make a backup just in case

All will be transparent except the calculator and the rest of your theme wont be affected

Only the semcgenericUxpres.apk do not flash the framework
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czp0811:
All right! Let me have a try!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] czp0811:
Oh yeah! It worked.

But how it worked?

Can this different SemcgenericUxpres.apk be appropriate for any ROM such as the stock one and won't bring any bug?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negrobembon:
Its not different, SemcgenericUxpres.apk is the same across all stock based roms, devs dont mess too much with that file so its practically the same for everybody except for the background

But still, always make a backup before trying anything, as safe as it sounds cause you never know

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
He/she means MetroPCS, which is CDMA/LTE.

Short answer: No.

Long answer: MetroPCS is on a different frequency for LTE than Verizon so at best, you will get CDMA and voice, but I wouldn't count on even that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
Hmmmm... The GNEX is a PENTABAND phone though so wouldnt that mean it should work on the MetroPCS network? What are the Metro bands?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
The GSM version is pentaband. This is not GSM.

The CDMA Nexus supports these bands:

2G Network	CDMA 800 / 1900

3G Network	CDMA2000 1xEV-DO

4G Network	LTE 700 MHz

MetoPCS is the same as above, except:

4G Network	LTE 1700 MHz
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
Really? Only the GSM is pentaband? That kinda sucks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Pretty damn well known/documented since the phones came out....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
Well... Seeing as I am on a GSM Network I have never needed to research the CDMA/LTE version of the device and all documentation I have ever seen just simply listed it as a "pentaband" device so sorry if I got it wrong... lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Well there are 2 devices to follow lol. One GSM and one CDMA. The CDMA model obviously will not have a pentaband LTE radio in it, as its made to specifically work on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] yiannisthegreek:
So Verizon is the ONLY CDMA/LTE version of the GNEX? I did not realize that either if that is the case.

I just keep on learning... Lol...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Yes. The CDMA/LTE version of the Galaxy Nexus was made

specifically

for Verizon USA. It is not sold or able to be used anywhere else in the world (except under Verizon roaming plans in specific markets).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ghost_o:
That's wrong. MetroPCS is listed as a provider for the phone, so I assume they will include a radio that supports them (after the crappy VZ only 90 day embargo)..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amneris1:
Soooo... then you can flash the GSM version??? Is anyone working on a ROM for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theking_13:
How would you flash the GSM version, when we JUST STATED that Metro runs on CDMA networks? Learn to READ. :thumbdown:

Sent from my amazing G2x running EaglesBlood and Faux. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No...you are wrong.

No radio flash changes the frequencies of internal radios.

So once again, can the Verizon model be flashed to MetroPCS and have everything working?

--No, it cannot.

I realize this is an incredibly old thread, but we don't need confusion filling the forums for those who search.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JUSMEJOSE:
CDMA Galaxy Nexus cant be flashed unless you can find a way to connect as a DIAG PORT.... I tried already flashing a Verizon Galaxy Nexus Over To PagePlus Cellular and i couldnt find a way to connec to CDMA Workshop....

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
My main complaint with the screen is that last 2 out of 4 TFP's I had had washed out colours. Yes, there is a thread in regards to colours, but I want to take slightly different approach.

On Sensation, if you run command "dmesg" without brackets it brought load of info, including PANEL_ID_PYD.... Which gave you type of the screen. Since I had 50/50 good/bad screens, I wonder if we have different screens being shipped with TFP. Unfortunately, that command doesn't bring up anything like that, so question is, how to check screen manufacturer.

Now, I bet 100% that some of you have it and don't even know about it. My family thinks I'm mad, but being an amateur photographer made me see colours a bit more than your average person. So, even if you don't think your colours washed out, please check it and let me know your findings.

See this picture.

Check it with your phone/pc/laptop and place them side by side.

Anything?

Thanks guys.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
from the reports on this forum there definitely seems to be a lot of variation in the calibration of the tf201 screens that have been shipping. people who care about color and have gone through multiple units have observed that one is warm, another cool, another washed out... putting color tests up side-by-side against my HP ZR30w (S-IPS) and samsung GSII (super AMOLED plus), my tf201 is definitely a bit too warm and it doesn't have the best gamut compared to high end displays. but that's not really fair because both of these screens are more expensive and higher quality than what the tf201 is spec'd out to be. imo the tf201 screen is still very nice compared to other tablets out there so i'm fine with it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Thanks for the input. I don't mind it to be on a warm side, but I like my red to be RED, not pale red. Same goes for blue. These seem to be most affected colours.

Anyone else?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
The colors on my screen aren't even consistent lol

If I manually set my brightness, sometimes I'll unlock the screen to find deep, vibrant colors, and other times I'll unlock it to greens that I can barely see and reds that are nearly a shade of dark pink...

I personally believe that aside from actual individual defects of these screens, that ICS is at least partially to blame.

Anyone still on Honeycomb who can check this out? I swear I can't find a pattern to what causes them to look good or washed out, but I never know which I'll get. Reboot generally comes up to good colors (haven't noticed otherwise anyway)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
I can tell you. Watch MAPS icon carefully, switch to battery mode, then back to normal or performance and watch the magic happen. Then lock and unlock screen to find normal-ish colours again.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
But I never take it off the battery-saver. Ever. And my colors still get tweaked (although that explains lack of issue on boot up) sporadically. This is what I assumed it was at first, and may play a part, but isn't (in my case at least) the whole story...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jaypm:
battery saver mode definitely degrades display quality, wouldn't be surprised to find that it induces color shifts as well. run balanced mode for a while and see if you still have the problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Actually, in my case saver mode gives more accurate colours than two others. Did you do the test I mentioned in op ?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] zurui:
lol, I got one of those colorblind tests. Looks warmer on the TFP than on my phone.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] undercover:
Lol, I guess I'll have to upload that particular picture. Just find one with all the colours on it.

Btw, I hope Google search is not tailored to you, if it is you should see an eye specialist. :D
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Lol, I ran that "test" just by looking at home screens, then inside the market the first day of owning. All you really need to look at is your market, then look at the green, orange, blue, and red rectangles for the different sections. My tablet is ICE compared to my HTC Vision. I mean, almost looks like different pallets entirely.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] d1ez3:
Yes, this is the exact problem I had. My colors were good until the .33 update. Now it is washed out. I returned it for another one and it is just as bad. I guess I got unlucky twice. I wonder if theres a firmware/software update for this issue. My HTC thunderbolt looks a lot better
