[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gedster314:
I just sold my Sprint White Iphone 4S 32GB for $500 on craigslist so you are in the ball park. I used the money to mostly pay for an international GNote. Sadly as soon as Sprint gets tired of paying my roaming fees I will be leaving and I will get rid of my E4GT. Sad to see my cheap Sero plan go but I'm tired of sub 100kbps downloads in my area.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 4redstars:
I literally just did almost this exact scenario.

I had a black E4GT, I bought it for 121 dollars on contract. I then traded that + 50 for a White iPhone 4s 16GB. I gave the white iPhone 4s to my wife and took her black iPhone 4s. I went 15 days of the iPhone and had to get rid of it...way boring (but a great phone for every non-nerd out there).

Lastly I found a White E4GT for 350 NIB. Bought it and plan to sell the iPhone (as I got it unlocked for international travel) for 500 dollars on Monday.

If I had an upgrade coming soon I would wait until mid year when the LTE phones hit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] blackhawksnip3r:
You do realize they went back to the standard SuperAMOLED on the Galaxy right? The ET4G has a SuperAMOLED Plus which is way clearer and even though is currently a lower rez still looks just as good if not better.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Success100:
eh, u might need to do some research bro. Yes they went back to regular super amoled, but the pixel density on the nexus makes it virtually impossible to see any pixelation. Ive seen both, and the nexus looks just as good as the et4g with higher resolution. The nexus display doesnt look as good from the side tho.

Im not a nexus fan really, but a spade is a spade. Still prefer the et4g
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] pchenna143:
hi i opened this thread for explain how to backup your official firmware.

first downgrade your phone so that kies will detect an upgrade for you.

Now read on to see how to save the

firmware files during kies upgrade process.

On your pc, check the option

"Show hidden files"

Now connect your phone to pc via kies to begin the firmware upgrade.

Kies will begin to download the

firmware files...

The files will be saved in tmp files called "tmpA4CE.tmp" or other names

you can find it easily.

In Windows 7, this

tmp file is located at,

C:\Users\ * \AppData

\Local\Temp or type temp in run command.

(* is the pc user

session name, e.g. C:

\Users\chenna

\AppData\Local

\Temp)

When download iscomplete, kies

decompresses this tmp file into a zip folder and begins the firmware upgrading process.

The folder has same name as the tmp file but now with an extention of zipfolder.

When kies begins the upgrade process

starting from 1% until

it reaches 100%, quickly copy the "zipfolder" to your desktop.

You have about 2 to 3 minutes to do this.

Kies will delete the folder once upgrade is 100% (completed).

The "zipfolder" contains all the firmware files kies has used to upgrade

your phone.

Now you have a backup of official firmware from kies.

This is also useful in case kies fails to

complete the upgrade process.

Just use the saved files and manually flash your phone using odin or multiloader.

Hi! Just installed aokp rom and now i'm searching for a good kernel for battery and best with aokp. Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sean is here.:
Your best bet is to try a few out, and test them yourself. It's really going to depend on how your phone is set up, what you have installed and how you use your phone. Since this varies from phone to phone, it's not such a black and white issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] killyouridols:
agreed. As a starting point I have had great battery life (for my usage) from the vastly underrated popcorn kernel. Others swear on a Franco kernel or morfic's Trinity kernels. But as said, your mileage may vary so don't be afraid to give a few a go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotekz:
imoseyon kernel is very good for battery life. no problems with kernel wakelocks and i get about 0.5% battery drain per hour when the screen is off with wifi on but this depends on how many widgets or other apps that are syncing. i only have one weather widget that syncs every 4 hours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stretlow:
Everyone has different results (and placebos)

I personally use Franco's, it was struggling for a few versions so I had chance to test a few others Faux's good as is glasdos.

I just bought a merge off ebay and its a US Cellular. I can not get my sim card to work in it (Mobile Network is uncheckable)

This phone is a replacement of my old merge which broke, they have the same model numbers on the back and everything.

Any ideas of where to start so i can get my GSM/sim to work in my new phone?
[General Questions and Answers] PakAttack1994:
have you tried your sim card in another US cellular phone to isolate the problem, as in to see if its the phone thats messed up or your sim card (assuming they use sim cards, I thought they were CDMA?). If it doesn't work in another US cellular phone, odds are your sim is messed. Anyways I'm not too familiar with US cellular but maybe there is a block on the phone? Was the sim card you were using before a US cellular sim or are you coming from another company?

the merge is a cdma phone for us use. the sim card is for international use. if your trying to use the sim card for a local company it wont work...

And you don't need to ask. Just flash a rom from the dev section, try it out, and report any bugs in the rom thread. Just like everyone else does. You are not special because you think you are the only one who can try out roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] slamming_sammy1:
after trying out several roms, I noticed that some have 'quick office' built in and some don't. The rom I'm running now and really like (Shostock) doesn't have it. Is there a .apk somewhere that I can download?

thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
Check my rom page I have a bloat.zip that has it included.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] slamming_sammy1:
do I flash the whole zip or can install polarisOffice.apk by itself? I installed it by itself and keep getting the 'force close' error when trying to open a pdf or word doc.

thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
It has required lib files that go along with it. As you have witnessed, it won't work without them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] LiLChris06:
This.

So basically once you grab the APK and place it back in /data/app or /system/app then you need to grab the quickoffice lib file and put it in /system/lib.

If you get stuck I can make you a zip but it has to be later, work is busy right now. :(

how to change the background of settings and phone screen....plz tell....i guess there are a lot who want to learn...if there is no way plz tell me....
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean is here.:
Well, you can install new launchers by searching the market for them and installing them directly. Then you can set the new ones as the default as you see fit.

But I think what you're looking for is something like this website. There, you can just click together simple mods and build a ROM. I'm not sure if this will work for your phone, as I've only tried with a different model but it should jive with several Android models. Check out their XDA link to learn more.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SafiXS:
try apk manager to decompile an apk you wish to mod.

navigate to the res/drawable-mdpi and mod the pictures of your wish.

if the file an .9.png so you have to hold the 1 px transparent border. this is very tricky with the *.9.png files.

after you mod at your wish compile your apk back with apk manager and sign it.

have fun

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilbso:
Well?.......
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B.Jay:
Unpack the update ZIP of the ROM you want to mod to your likings and slap the APK of the launcher you want into /system/app - rename the standard one to <whatever>.apk.backup (just in case the ROM hates your launcher and keeps on force closing upon boot).

Decompile the /system/framework files and have a lot of fun in editing stuff in SMALI - it can be done, but it's definitely easier to edit the source and compile the ROM. Once you did your changes create the JARs and put them back into /system/framework.

ZIP up the ROM, flash it, hope for the best.

If you soft-bricked the phone with your mods make sure you have Flashtool and the Stock ROM FTF standing by.

Given the nature of your question I rather suggest you simply forget about your plan, because it doesn't sound like as if you know about the stuff - you already fail to post a question in the Q&A board.

I'm in North America and using the I9100 SG2. I also wanted to try ICS 4.0.3. I stumbled upon a fix to get MMS working finally. This is what I did.

First I flashed a stock UHKG7 rom from sammobile and backed everything up with Titanium Backup. Checked, everything worked.

Then rooted with the appropriate CWM flash. Then flashed the Ibyani rom 3.2 without wiping the system but did clear the Dalvik, Cache and Battery stats, Fixed permissions and rebooted. This resulted in a ICS build where I could send MMS pictures but Not receive MMS pictures. The same problem I've seen using many different custom roms. Half way there. In the Titanium backup there was a system apk named MMS provisioning 2.3.4 I went ahead and restored this APK without including the data. Titianium locked up on restoring. I let it set for a few minutes and when ahead and rebooted the phone expecting a need to use CWM to recover to a known working system again. However the phone booted up and worked, I could also send and receive MMS pictures on ICS, Whoopie it worked. My MMS BUG CURED.

Not what I was expecting but it works?

No, that won't work - MMS typically uses IPs / addresses only routable via the mobile network. All MMS uses mobile data regardless of WiFi connectivity.

AT&T APN, I mixed & matched some input from other APNs to create my own. There it is.

[Galaxy S II General] TrexWyo:
You are right I did go through a lot of work and a whole lot more frustration. The carrier I use is a small local carrier that uses unbranded and unlocked international hand sets. Union Wireless. They use two APN's one for internet data and one for MMS data. I verified APN settings with the carrier. Had a local tech support person who recommended some different settings, combined settings and nothing would work. I spent lots of hours searching here and on other sources for a potential solution. And also tried other roms and builds, Nothing worked except original GB NA ROMs rooted or unrooted until I stumbled about this via blind luck. Yes this thread may be pointless for those of you on other carriers or with working MMS however in my case it cured my problem.
