I am running elite rom and stock skorpian s2 kernel

Is this enough? :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DVJ-Mishka:
Wrong device.

Thank you so much, but it turned out that it's a GT-I9003, I was researching before getting the device and the shop told me it's Galaxy S, so i assumed it's I9000, but with I9003 I'm facing a much bigger problem now, it turned out that Samsung removed the Download/Recovery modes' 3 button combos, and I think that i have no other way around this but to get a USB Jig which we don't have in my country, so no idea what to do :(

Thanks for the help though.

I definitely prefer ICS333 of the two. Minimalistic, and amazingly fast.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asrafw:
Yes ICS333 is very smooth stable with good battery life. Infinitum by bhu1 is another stable ROM but 333 is better as you have camera to sd card option.

[HTC Sensation] aarif_ziaee:
hi there i am using Elegancia Rom from last 2 week and love this rom very much

thanks for the lovely rom Dev...

i have one small question

everytime there is an update i have to download whole rom which is more than 500 mb is there any incremental update so that we can flash it instead of downloading the whole rom ....
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Almost all ROMS are like that.

:)
[HTC One S] mazbonning:
I've had my One S for about a week now, coming from a Nexus S. I was pretty blessed with the vanilla updates, but was excited to use the best yet Sense 4. But one of the few gripes I have about this stock ROM is that when I click youtube, instagram or other links that have their own apps, I have no option to "complete action using..." And it kicks me to the web browser every time.

Have you noticed this? If you have, have you found a solution? Or a workaround at least?
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
I have noticed this, and I've noticed that when I click a Play Store link that it brings me to the web page instead of asking if I want to use the app instead. I've cleared defaults from my browser several times, nothing works. I'm pretty sure that it worked before, though, so I'm stumped.
[HTC One S] mazbonning:
What browser are you using? I downloaded the Chrome Beta immediately after setting up the phone so I have no experience with the stock browser. Are you using the stock browser?
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
I'm also using Chrome, which I suspect might be the culprit, but I haven't had the time to uninstall and test.
[HTC One S] couchmonkey:
This is a probelm with the updated Sense. App Associations only lets you pick a browser to open urls.

If any of you can call HTC or go and send them a report on their website it would help, I have a Rezound and the problem has been there with every ICS leak. I filled out a support ticket but don't have a One device.
[HTC One S] Habarug:
I have had no problems at all with this, I'm using chrome. I have been able to open play store as well
[HTC One S] mannequin:
root the phone, delete htclinkifydispatcher.apk from /system/app, clear defaults for the browser, reboot. youtube, play store links, etc will prompt what to open when you click on them.
[HTC One S] jayelbird:
I tried to freeze that app, using TB. But now Google search widget doesn't work.
[HTC One S] couchmonkey:
yeah, using root browser, wont let me delete that, keeps on failing.

went into titanium backup and froze it, now no links open, there is no prompt.

hope its that easy
[HTC One S] scpieps:
This fix worked for me, in that it allowed me to open links to the market through webpages. However, it seems to create a new problem -- it breaks QR code scanners...

Looks like this may be happening on all HTC phones: http://androidforums.com/htc-thunderbolt/550016-app-associations-screwed-my-phone-up.html. From what I have read, this is due to the Apple lawsuit. Given that the lawsuit only dealt with US users, I wonder if European versions are having this problem.
[HTC One S] jayelbird:
After freezing it, were you able to still use the Google Search widget?
[HTC One S] scpieps:
It looks like links directed to the old Market actually open to the Play Store. It's just newer links to http://play.google.com/store that take you straight to the browser.
[HTC One S] h.han:
No, my phone does not have this issue, UK unbranded.
[HTC One S] BlindRacer:
Yeah, I started that thread over on Android forums.

I'm kinda glad to see that I'm not the only one having these problems.

I'm running a Thunderbolt. Just got the update (both my wife and I).

Now both of ours are having this problem.

I've searched and finally narrowed it down to the new App Associations section.

I don't think it has anything to do with which browser is used.

It just now forces all 'Web URLs' to use the browser as opposed to an installed app.

I don't know how extensive this is, and who all is going to be affected by it, but it's definitely a major issue. It destroyed the usability of this phone.

I'm can't root my wife's or my own phone. There's got to be a work around. Or they've got to be releasing a revised update. This couldn't have been done on purpose. The phone worked beautifully before, integrating all the apps that I had. Now everything I do is screwed up. Nothing is working how it's supposed to.

If it's any help...I have an HTC Thunderbolt through Verizon. Stock Rom.

Is this new App Association thing affecting all Androids? Is it something that was updated across the board, or only on specific devices/ or specific carriers? I've been banging my head against a wall trying to figure this all out for the last three days, and it seems like no one knows what I'm talking about, and my posts are invisible. I've been going crazy.

Looks like HTC got sued, so those of us in the US with an HTC product got screwed.

They are avoiding legal issues, be removing an Apple Patented process for detection of things which can open apps that are installed on the phone.

Without this, the phone is junk to me. It makes it wholly unusable and takes literally at least 3-4 times longer to complete my tasks.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
There's not going to be an unrooted work around. You have some choices, but they all require you to learn to live with it, root, or get a different phone.

I am an angry consumer, and I punish companies that screw with me by not doing business with them, and encouraging others to avoid then as well. I've also been known to fire off an angry letter, or phone call to the offending party. Apple isn't worried about you or me, so that's wasted effort in this case. What's left is punishing HTC by not buying their products, but it's too late in both our cases, so basically call or write them telling them to "fu***ng pay Apple for the patent license and fix our phones". This App Associations bs ain't cutting it to keep us happy. Like you I don't want to root, but I think it may be the only way, unless a ****-ton of us tell HTC to fix it, it's going to stay the same.
[HTC One S] FreddieP:
There is a work around, at least for YouTube links. Install the app Flashify. Share the YouTube link to it and select the YouTube app :)
[HTC One S] AttachedSilver:
I'm using a custom rom & now its back to normal asking me "complete action using" :)
[HTC One S] scpieps:
If your custom rom is euro based, this makes sense. They were not part of the trademark infringement case brought by those idiots at Apple, so they don't have the app management workaround that is causing all the problems.

Does your custom rom have signal problems? As I recall, that was an issue being reported by tmous customers who tried some of the euro roms.
[HTC One S] AttachedSilver:
Yes, its euro based. I went with it because of the app association. Well I've been using it for a while now and I have no problems with it. I've read about a "data bug" but have no problems with signal or using the mobile data.

[HTC One S] amokkx:
Hi there, I hope you guys can help me out on this.

I just got my HOS a few days ago and it was all good.

Rooted it after 1 day, everything was fine.. at first.

Played a few games, installed themes and so on. After a few hours, my HOS began to vibrate out of nowhere and apps started here and there, menu opens on its own and all that stuff. It was out of control xD

I then saw that theres an update available. Flashed stock recovery and unrooted it. Afterwards, I installed 1.78. Still unrooted, downloading most of my Apps again, works flawless. Gaming(specially Temple Run xD) is smooth.

Yesterday, I decided to root it again. At first no problems at all.

Just now on the train, playing Temple Run again, my HOS started going crazy, vibrating all the time as if it is pressing buttons on its own and I see the phone doing all kinda stuff(opening new apps, browsing thru home screen etc xD).

Has anyone else expierenced something similar? I have no idea where its coming from and it really annoys the hell out of me.

Right now I'm on TrickDroid v3.1 (wiped system/data/dalvik/cache before flashing)

Kernel: 3.0.8-01136-g9d2ad32

Baseband: 0.16.31501S.17_2_10.23.31501S.10L

Build: 1.70.666.1 CL52668
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
That really is strange !!! Its as if root contains some sort of poltergeist

I would have imagined a factory reset would have cleared it up, But in your case it didnt....

Have you tried an alternative rooting method ?
[HTC One S] amokkx:
Nope, I did not. Always used the All-In-One Toolkit, except for when I flashed Trickdroid, since it comes rooted.

Is it ok if I unroot the HOS with Rootkeeper(is this just temp. unroot?) and then root it again with Superboot?

Unbranded HOS bought in Germany, if that matters. Also, no other recovery works for me except Intermin, CWM just won't boot for me.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
that is weird...

Unlocking the bootloader was successful right ?

I dont understand why your phone is rejecting software lol.. Oh and I didnt know root keeper can unroot ive never used it..

how i got root was by flashing paul obriens recovery and then the root package zip file.. I did this on day one and have never had any issues at all.. Ive tested every single ROM and every single recovery lol..

Make a nandroid in recovery and just test out different methods and try get this issue fixed. If you have any issues just restore the nandroid..
[HTC One S] frdd:
Check your phone for remote access apps, maybe you got hacked. Most of those require root to function. Also check your google account for which IPs logged in and check the password recovery options for weird emailadresses and phonenumbers...

Ars has a writeup on hardening your android device, not very technical but some good stuff there. http://arstechnica.com/security/201...-smartphone-against-stalkers-android-edition/
[HTC One S] amokkx:
Forget whatever i wrote.

My HOS registers my thumb, even tho I'm not touching it at all. If I'm like 5mm away from the screen, it registers it as if I'd touched it. My gf also has a HOS and it acts only if I touch the screen.

I also noticed that the hotter my HOS gets, the distance increases at which it recognized my "touch".
[HTC One S] crberus81:
The distant screen touch has happened on my uprooted tmo us HOS. I've also experienced some craziness out of the device. I've kept it stock, no unrooting/rooting going on.

I was thinking an exchange with HTC cause I also have excessive battery drain and wavy lines in the screen but now I also have an awesome cracked screen too :-\
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
i also dont need to touch my screen to select something :p

I just hover my finger over the app, real close to the screen and it selects it...

I guess we have special powers :p
[HTC One S] hija31:
Same here.
[HTC One S] azzledazzle:
lets keep this quiet, We dont want people to know we are superhuman...

I cant be arsed with the fan mail from the CIA,,, Nor do i have the time to fight crime and save the world....

Id rather just continue to flash a ROM.

STANDARD DISCLAIMER

As usual, not responsible if flashing this causes any issues. All I can say is I have verified it to be working on my device running the new leak.

Thanks to DesignGears and the "Unknown Source" of course for the leak, this obviously wouldn't be possible without them.

Here is the stock boot.img that is CWM flashable. Usual things that are done:

Insecure UCLE2 kernel, init.d support, boot animation, adbd & bash

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Zadeis:
This isn't as much of a venting/rant thread but more of a disappointment thread.

The first time I sent it in was due to an unknown cause and suddenly it seemed the tablets storage got corrupted.

This time around hover was due to countless SODs,

battery drain problems of Android OS (only for me to find out it was a kernel problem after flashing Garyds kernel so thank you garyd for indirectly helping me there)

Corruption of my ext SD card with stock firmware (may or may not have been the tablet but I am laming it since I have a 8gb sd card that is two or three years old and this 16 gig is less than 6 months old)

and a strange error in recovery stating that the XAR folder was missing and can't restore certain things.

Normally things like wouldn't bother me on account I try to fix things myself, but this time I couldn't get any where :(

I don't like sending things in for repair since I am without the device and most of the time they don't tell you what the problem is.

And in the end I also wanted to say I really enjoy these forums. I come here frequently to see what is being thought up and developed and to see how I can push this great tablet further. Just hope this time around it works on account there is a decent chance I might get an ASUS TF300 Transformer over this D:

[HTC EVO 3D] veladem:
I don't understand your question fully, however I use 4ext touch because I have tried many of the others and they just don't quite have the UI that 4ext does.

Hope that helps.
[HTC EVO 3D] xCLUx:
the convenience of having a touch-based user interface is the only advantage.

... unless... you are on hboot 1.5 and "s-on" because 4ext allows NAND locked users to flash to the boot partition.

If you are not 1.5 "s-on" there is no real advantage. 4ext also allows you to wipe the boot partition (boot partition is where your boot.img [kernel] is located)... however, since it is a disk image file, it is wiped completely and effectively every time you flash a new boot.img.

just things to consider.

i personally think to this day that twrp 1.1.1 is the best and most reliable recovery for the 3D evo. never once had an issue with it. 4ext has been a little glitchy and buddy, as all touch recoveries have been for me.
[HTC EVO 3D] veladem:
Hmmm, I'm pretty sure I had said I liked 4ext because of the UI, not cause of it's functionality, which in my case is bulletproof cause I haven't had any problems. Also haven't heard of any problems specific to any certain recovery, I have heard of them specific to device though. A few people, in other words.
[HTC EVO 3D] xCLUx:
i know i was just adding my two cents, in no way being confrontational :)

the UI is extremely slick.

an example of what i am talking about is this, with 4ext, when i use virus' superwipe tool, it gives me an error and reboots the recovery... on twrp, no issues.

on 4ext, i have had random bugs/issues such as the recovery not booting, requiring a battery pull. twrp, never had an issue... generally speaking, never had a single issue with twrp (speaking of version 1.1.1... the touch version i have had multiple issues).

as i said, 4ext has some benefits (of convenience really) when it comes to accessing and flashing to the boot partition. but other than that, not my cup of tea.

4EXT is best recovery ever

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erotser:
I got my NS on December and I am extremely happy with it, though I face a problem when it comes to talking to someone through the original headset. According to them, they can hear all the background noises WAY louder than they are supposed to and they cannot hear my voice! This is clearly a headset problem since I get no such complaints when I am using the phone's microphone and although I can accept that there will be some extra bg noise when talking through the headset I find it hard to believe that I would deafen them by the use of my hands free.

Does anyone face the same problem? Does someone have to propose another kind/3rd party headset that would work better or perhaps some sort of a software tweak that elludes me...

[HTC Rezound] sajmonides:
So I've tested out the leaked versions of ICS and I'm quite satisfied with the performance and how smooth the phone operates and with most things about it in general. I was wondering however, the unlock screen for the ICS as seen in most pictures is a little different than the one included in all the leaks? Is there any info on if the unlock screen will be different in the official release?

Right now we have the ring that you have to pull up to unlock the phone or pull it towards one of the shortcuts to use them. The ICS unlock screen I am talking about is the white circle from which you have to pull the little circle from the middle to the right to unlock the screen.
[HTC Rezound] slosrtnick:
The lock screen that comes with the leaks is referred to as the sense lock screen. The AOSP lock screen or ICS lock screen can be found on most custom roms, not sure if you can flash a new lock screen in recovery or something, but I'm sure someone will chime in who knows better.
