^what he said.

flash a stock rooted rom

infEcted inbred
[HTC EVO 3D] HuDuVuDu:
Flashing a stock (rooted) rom, is what I was going for.

Removing the back cover and using my nail, works. Putting the cover back on, it starts doing the same thing. The screen turns off, then comes right back on. Seems it is the cover not the physical button.

Thanks to all
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
Yes it will......flashing any ROM whether stock or custom without superuser/supersu = unrooting your phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
You can I guess be "unrooted" while running a stock ROM, but you'd still have S-off so you could just flash something else afterwards.
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Ya you need a new battery door you will be all set man :D I would just take it to sprint and say I need a new battery door cover mine is causing my power button to stick and not work.. The button is fine but the one on the door is wore out.
[HTC EVO 3D] anthrofear:
Its from mashing your power button too many times while flashing Roms in recovery! You flash crackhead you! =P Its like rubbing one too many out in one day, after a while it starts to sting, now imagine how your poor phone feels. =[ lollll
[HTC EVO 3D] mnomaanw:
yes thats what we are talking about , the op haven't mentioned anything about bootloader, s-on/off so I quoted him in my comment above.....I see a lot of people get confused between rooting / unlocking bootloader.......root is required only in booted android by some apps/scripts......and unlocked bootloader is necessary for flashing stuffs...
[HTC EVO 3D] joehunni:
Yes, but to a noob who's mew to all this, hearing "you'll lose root", is not an option. You might wanna be more specific is all, so you don't confuse people. Ex: a phone goes back to a Sprint store running a stock ROM without root, if they check the bootloader (which they likely won't), they'll see "S-off" and consider the device "rooted" regardless of the presence of the Superuser app.

Hi.-

My question is if posible remplace the menu button of the galaxy s2, for ICS recent apps button, in a ICS rom.-

I see this post for nexus:

I follow the same step, editing the files edit

keylayout files..

But nothing happend.-

Is posible this?

Bye, sorry for my english
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoyBawang2:
I love it too but theres a gripe when the app is not ICS optimized. A bar with 3 dots will appear stealing precious screen real estate. Thats what happens to HTC One X. But i admit that long pressing the home key and wait 2 seconds to show the recent apps is a drag thats y i never use it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefern2008:
The idea is, put the recent app key in the menu button, and long press do for menu options.-

This is for instant acces to recen app , and no damage the home button, becouse is a mechanic button.-

And is without nav bar, and not reduce the screen device.-

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
Yes it's possible and very easy too because this feature has been implemented in all CM9/CM9 based and CM10/CM10 based Roms.

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] steve0.adams:
i am hoping to put the KOB4LT R3V4MP3D 4.1 ICS theme on my skyrocket. i have cwmr touch installed and i am rooted. i was running superlite with that theme but wanted to try the new stock leak. it is running a lot smoother an with less problems then superlite did. so i want to know if i can put it on a stock rom without screwing everything up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jnicks510:
Yes you can flash random things like the toggle mod, but I'm not sure if every mod will work perfectly though. Trial and error then nandroid :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
well u shouldn't be mismatching framework-res.apk's, as each from chef puts different configs in there from my understanding, but u can flash the systemui.apk without issue I would think, as well as some of the inverted and aosp apps included in that theme
[HTC One X] blueacidic:
Hi all, I'm new to android and just receive my HTC One X and have ARHD custom rom installed. I read somewhere stating that when flashing roms, I have to clear cache and dalvik cache. But when I did so, I received this error.

dalvik cache e:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]

Read somewhere that this is normal, is it? just want to confirm.

Also hope some of the veterans here can assist, when installing a kernel/ rom/ radio what do I have to do? I've read this post and am unsure if this is correct.

reference link - HERE
[HTC One X] mike1986.:
my ROM is clearing dalvik-cache during the installation process. No need to do it manually.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
Okay i need help. I used the guide for porting sense to other sense devices, and followed it exactly. I modified the updater-script and everything, but the problem is the kernel i think. The sense for the Mytouch 4G (Glacier) is 2.3 and the HTC Evo 3D doesnt have any sense 2.3 kernels, only 3.0 and above. Can I use the stock 3VO kernel (sense 3.0) on a sense 2.3 rom or am I going to have to get someone to port a sense 2.3 kernel to the 3VO.? thanks guys
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
Try it out and let us know.

Sent via carrier pigeon
[HTC EVO 3D] Rayner1234:
If you want to port sense 3.0 to your phone look for a phone that have sense 2.3 don't port from incredible s :)
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
I just like the mytouch 4g's ui, I wanna port that one specifically.!
[HTC EVO 3D] Atomix86:
You can use 3.0 kernels on 3.5 Sense ROMs so I don't see why not. Like I said give it a try and let us know.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
I tried tiamat sense 1.1.0, stock and whatever is in zr3d.!
[HTC EVO 3D] jslim38:
Hmmm I would use the EVO 3d kernal
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
Stock, I used that.!
[HTC EVO 3D] cobraboy85:
lol, you have to be joking... i lol'd. not picking on you, just thought that was sarcasm. good show brother.

to the OP....

you can't just flash kernels to different devices. it is not that simple. kernels contain drivers that are hardware specific to that device. so unless you have two devices that are exactly identical in drivers and kernel modules (never seen that before...) you will brick the device.

flashing software that is not meant for a particular device (a port) is a tricky thing to do and takes a lot more work that just reading a two page tutorial.

like this guy said.... try it... and let us know..... ? lol.... i would really advise against attempting this unless you are very familiar with linux kernels, C++ coding, java... etc...

willnotendwell...
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
I used an tried all evo sense kernels minus chad's and infected from kernels.!
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
So do I have to port a kernel, with patience I can learn, will take time but I'm cool with it :)

What I'm asking is, will rooting void Samsung's warranty, or the 2 year extended warranty from Best Buy, or both? Cause I really wanna test CM9 for this. But I have Best Buy's 2 year extended warranty. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
Rooting will void Samsung's warranty. You can unroot the ROM so they will not notice in case you need service.

I ignore if you can go back to the stock kernel if you flash a new one, Samsung can just enter on CWM and that way they will know your warranty is screwed.

I have an extended warranty as well on Best Buy, and what they told me is that not matter what happens with the device, they will replace it with a new one in case you need it.

But, and this is a big BUT, we are talking about Best Buy, a screwed up company with sale associates that know next to nothing about what they sale, and you could be in a situation where you need to replace your device because you accidentally bricked it, and they will tell you that hacking is not covered under their extended warranty, even though someone else told you it does.

Weight your options. But my advice is: do it!. Root the damn thing, that way you will learn more, and if you brick it, then you could buy another one (hopefully). After all, these are cheap machines.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Skeledr0id:
you'd just flash back to stock via odin and be done with it
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] j21098:
So if i drop it and the screen cracks and its rooted with stock rom will i still be covered under bestbuy warranty or will i have to unroot
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
I would unroot it first, Odin does that.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] unicorndust98:

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] euph_22:
The guy in a blue Polo was either misinformed or lying. Best Buy's extended service plans on electronics like phones/media players suck horribly. Ignoring the fact that they don't cover lost/stolen devices or devices that have been immersed in water (considered how vague that exclusion is, and how hard it would be for them to tell the difference in water damage from being splashed and being dunked, I'm guess you'll have an uphill battle getting any water damage covered). If you attempt to file a claim they WILL attempt to fix it first. Which means sending it off somewhere to sit on a shelf for weeks before a tech even looks a the thing. Only if the tech decides he can't fix it will you get a replacement, which is probably refurbished. If the tech thinks he's fixed it they'll send it back. I say think because if the problem is intermittent it's quite likely the tech will simply not notice the player is still broken.

If you can still cancel the service plan, you're better off getting you're money back. Honestly, extended warranties aren't worth the money. By their very nature you HAVE to get less financial benefit out of them then they cost, period. In order for the guy selling the warranty to make a profit you have to be on the losing end of the deal. Stick some money in the back to put towards a replacement, or you're next device if all goes well. If you still feel better with some kind of coverage, you should be able to get covered by Square Trade, or other 3rd party companies.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] SirRhor:
I agree. Basically, that company sucks as a whole.

I HAD to get an extended warranty because I hard bricked my first Player, and when I try BB to "honor" their warranty, they told me I have 2 options, either send the device to Samsung and wait weeks for a new device to arrive, or they could make an exception for me if I pay $65 to get an Extended Warranty.

I payed them, they got me a new device and I still have a little less than a year of this bullcrap warranty left.

I was SO GLAD when I read BB have to close stores down across the country due to weak profits. I hope they will do much worse over time. </end rant>
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] euph_22:
I've actually had great experiences buying phones from them. I was able to get my razr for $100 less than what Verizon was selling it for. Before that I'd gotten the Droid incredible for $50 off, and a full three Weeks sooner than I would have gotten it from Verizon (Verizon was backordered a full month at that point). My gf got her Maxx for $150 from best buy, and got it 2 days later (versus atleast 2 Weeks).

That being said, their service is terrible, and I won't let the geek squad do any work for me if they were paying me their exorbitant labor rates. On the plus side, I was able to spend an hour and a half playing keyboards and guitars without a single employee acknowledging my existence. In my book that's s huge improvement from when their sales floor were on commission.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] j21098:
When I buy the warranty at bestbuy and I take it back they just ask me what's wrong with it and I just say it doesn't work and they give me two choices a full refund in a gift card or an exchange for one on their shelf and they send of the other
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] unicorndust98:
Wow. Thanks guys for your experiences. Really means alot. Cause they're LOOOOONG. thanks.

Contribution to the BB Tangent

I hate to add to the Best Buy meme on an Android forum, but thought it might be helpful in an ancillary way: I have a buddy who worked for the Geek Squad for years, him having a large amount of contracting experience through family (all the while he grew up) and about as much with electronics, so he built entertainment systems, did tv mounts, and was "the solutions guy" for customers who called with special needs and projects: was paid well too. (I despise them as much as anyone for exhorbitant pricing!)

He buys his laptops there still, because of the warranties (and perhaps a good credit line): he's that big clumsy oaf who will drop something a bunch, and thus far they have honored warranties even for drops that crack screens; he also seems to have that "luck" of laptops dying...one to three months before a warranty runs out (and he really isn't the type to kill one just to get another new--close enough, in fact, that he tells me about anything shady he does, and breaking laptops on purpose to take advantage of warranties isn't among things he'll do), and despite this having happened multiple times, they have honored those warranties: usually with newer model replacement computers too.

So depending on the store and terms, sometimes it can be worth looking into Best Buy: read everything carefully and compare. If you're paranoid about bad things happening to your devices, or have reason to believe something probably will. Or you can do like me, and talk the Lenovo reps 1200+ dollars off of the normal pricing, and then push beyond their lowest deals by explaining the problems with unclear marketing and deal offers, and then convince them to throw in a few upgrades for free. : D And insure elsewhere. Maybe I'll keep this in mind, however, and get his advice for you, if the guy isn't too busy right now.

Happy purchases.

I dont think rooting voids warranty..

As my s plus was repaired under warranty when i was on custom rom....
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iamshazamm@gmail.com:
Rooting doesn't void your warranty

Rooting does not void your warranty. I rooted my phone and bricked it. i have a Metro PCS galaxy mega 6.3. I called Samsung and informed them that i bout it second hand like this and i want it back to normal. They told me it is still under warranty and they will email me shipping labels. They fixed everything for free. I complained before they sent it back that Samsung's website says my Phone should have Kit Kat. So I told them that is false advertisement and that is wrong lol. Everyone on the internet says they only have gingerbread. Metro Pcs is the red headed step child of the mobile industry so they didn’t get the over the air update. I complained about this to Samsung and they informed me that they will be upgrading my Mega with Kit Kat. Don’t believe everything you see on the internet.

So I am totally lost. Have exhausted all my knowledge on these issues, but i will take u guys through my process step by step.

Right now my problem is that i am unable to charge my one x in any way. it will only respond to being connected through my pc and obviously that wont charge very well. My phone will boot to the home screen but will go from being 35% charged to 0% and just reboot. what lead up to this was my installing android revolution 1.2.2 along with the interim clockwork mod. Upon reboot is where all the problems began. I accidently forgot to wipe before installing and now this is where im at. Cant boot into recovery. cant load default recovery because battery is too low. nothing except this impossible battery screw up is all i get. and now oncve i unplug my phone from pc, its shuts down after a few moments with no charge. Im at my wits end guys. anyone know what i can do?

I assume you were on 1.19 software? This happened to a friend yesterday. He ended up fastboot erase cache. Fast boot reboot bootloader. Get into recovery and plug up to ac power. The light comes on for a min. Or so then goes off. When it goes off unplugg it then plug it back in. Keep this up till you have some juice. Then fastboot flash the stock recovery relock bootloader, then get ruu 1.26.707. Run that ruu and it should boot. After that you can flash all the roms you want.

I don't know what to tell you bro. If you locked the bootloader before putting stock recovery back on the phone. An ruu won't work anyway.

Hopefully someone will pop in and give you a hand.

i Use this commands:

Examples

Manual Nandroid restore

Make a Nandroid backup, and copy the folder off your SD card to your desktop.

cd ~/Desktop/path/to/backup/

fastboot flash userdata data.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot reboot

For the same price you can get the sedio 3800mah battery (60$ ) and then get the case for the extended battery also from sedio (20$ ) which might be a little bit more reliable..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TK 421:
I am on my 4th Powerskin for my SR in less than two months. They either die and stop working or the charging port gets worn down so it only makes contact when you hold it and put pressure on it. It is realistically about an extra 75% added to your battery, but your phone uses it to stay 100% charged so none of your battery saving features work. Would recommend a larger replacement battery over a case battery. I ended up buying extra andido batteries off amazon and plan on giving that a try over this.

I bought it at AT&T so they keep giving me replacements but will not give me a refund.

Do not recommend.
