From what I've tried cm roms are faster than stock (try playing games on both, cm plays them smoother).

Stock roms can be themed, just not as complete as cm roms, if you extract the png files in the cm apps (/res/drawable-mdpi) and replace them in stock apps you have themed your stock rom.

This takes a while, and if you change the png names or size of your stock png files you will get Fc and errors (like missing graphics on menus).

Just remember to backup original apps before modding.

There are no stock rom theme choosers.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ts_firehawk:
about the themes on stock I knew there where no theme chooser :( so sad...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ts_firehawk:
Well, no matter what I decide, I need a quick option: what's the best Stock ROM? It needs to have Brazilian portuguese, I can't live only with Portugal portuguese. I guess that there isn't any European ROM that has this, right? :( I was thinking on that Indian firmware, S5830DDKQ8... Nice choice or not?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] blake2893:
i recently upgrade my ace from 2.3.4 to the DDKQ8 and i love it so far :D much more stable system and fast... the only thing I noticed its that this rom have more RAM usage... but away from its gr8 :p

oo by the way it only has normal portugues :o
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] ts_firehawk:
by normal portuguese you mean pt-br and pt-pt? or only pt-pt? :P about the ram, delete some apps via Root Explorer or something.

Anyone else seen this?

My usbstorage area used to contain a number of books and files which I could browse and use fine on GB, since the ICS update this directory is empty when browsed on the phone yet when I connect to PC I can still view all the files?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joshua:
In ICS, ur external memory had been changwd path to /emmc...

Try using a file explorer from phone to go under that directory

Noted From My G.NOTE Using XDA Premium
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] knightnz:
ICS does not necessarily mean CM9

The "USBStorage" folder on the internal memory is a link that is only set when the phone is attached to a USB device and is supposed to be used when you want to access a USB stick plugged in via a USB2GO adaptor.

I recommend not putting anything into that folder though. Presumably the phone is "protecting" the contents to stop you putting things in there when you're not really supposed to.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] straxusii:
Thanks, I am on stock ICS rooted.

I guess they tightened this up since GB, I'll move the files
[HTC One X] graemeg:
I posted earlier today but have got no further at all, can anyone please help me with what ruu i need to return to stock, and how to install it because im getting nowhere fast.

Despite doing all the right things ( I Think), i keep getting stuck at updating signature and get error 140, telling me i have the wrong bootversion, i dont understand what this means, i thought it meant hboot, which is the same for 1.28 and 1.29 i think, and my cid is HTC__001, i presume thats htc europe, 401 roms, which i have downloaded but cannot return to stock ics.

Im having noticeable issues and really want to get back to stock, im desperate for help here, please help....

Before i have no hair left to pull out
[HTC One X] f4flake:
If your cid is HTC__001 then you can install the WWE RUU,, however it appears your hboot is of a later version than the RUU you want to install.

What is your hboot version?

The RUU you need to install must be of the same or later hboot.
[HTC One X] graemeg:
SOLVED

Thanks for the reply.

Eventually solved the issue, seemed to be HTC SYNC, although i see no mention of this in any tutorials, i found a bit of info on the htc site that said to install htc sync because it installs the drivers needed for ruu, which indeed it did, i had already installed one x drivers from xda of course what people had posted, now that ive downloaded the official drivers with sync it works, hooray.

Was a very odd problem but all good now, i have installed 1.29.401.7, havent installed the latest yet, which brings me to another question -

Considering S_OFF is battering everyones bonce right now, im assuming it is not possible to flash older firmware than what youre running, if developers were to make the stock firmwares into flashable zips via cwm, would they then work ?

I know Mike1986 has done 1 or 2 this way, its just a thought, it would solve a whole bunch of issues for those people that need to return to stock for whatever reason.

[Motorola Photon 4G] DualSportDad:
This is what has worked for me every time no matter if stock rooted or any other custom rom..... and I do this switching back and fourth between extended and stock battery..... you must be rooted.... atleast i was.

get the battery monitor widget from the market. In the setting you can change the ma rating of the battery you are using. Once you have done that click on stats in the app and it'll clear battery stats. Reboot phone go into app and clear stats again. That should be it. When I had clokworkmod installed on the reboot id clear battery stats in there as well.

This has worked for me time and time again.
[Motorola Photon 4G] A2CKilla:
Where is this state setting you speak of????!?!?!?
[Motorola Photon 4G] FernBch:
I believe it's in the app he mentions. The "wipe battery stats" option is also in the advanced menu of CWM (clockwork mod). If you do not have a custom recovery installed just disregard that part as bootstrap does not have it.

[HTC Rezound] autotuneuser:
So obviously the screen is the biggest drainer of battery life, but I just want to make sure my stats are in line with others.

I've been running a couple of quick battery tests on CleanRom 4.5, and basically, if I have the screen brightness up all the way without any sleep, I average roughly 1% battery drain / 1 minute (it's actually .8% battery drain but 1/1 ratio looks better). I've done a test with 4G and 3G and they're both about the same if screen is all the way up. With screen all the way down and Wi-fi I can get 30 minutes of Netflix with only 8% battery drain. Is this what I should be getting?

I flashed my software using the RUU to 1.29.401.11

Before the update I was using the Stock Android Gingerbread Email Application to get my emails pushed to the handset from Hotmail.

Now that I've updated, the application says 'connection error' both with the Wi-Fi on and when I'm connected to mobile data. I've uninstalled the app and downloaded again but still the same. I've checked and double checked the set-up and settings which are the same as before but still no luck.

Does anyone know were I'm going wrong?

Do you know where I can download the Stock ICS Email Application?

EDIT: It's working now. Although I would still like to know if the ICS Stock Email Application is available for download.

Big problem about my device...

Thank you for this useful post!

I have seen a good knowledge about these devices(flytouch 3) and decided to post my question here:

I have a big problem! I used IUW Burning tool to flash my device. my device is:

SuperPad III (As box says)

Model: ANDR P1001

I decided to try tim's custom rom. It doesn't work. After restarting the device, screen become black (There was no connection

with screen, it was not turned on). The device had vibration when I pressed power button. It continued vibrating periodically(like it was restarting).

After that I flashed my device using IUW with most likely firmware, but during the process I FORGOT TO CHOOSE userdata.img FILE!

Now the device can't even communicate with pc.

OTG method is not working. The device no more vibrates at start up! At motherboard led is lighting when pressing power button.So IS MY DEVICE DEAD? Or is there any solution in this situation(Alternative communication, or whatever...)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
I hate cases as a rule, will the naked screen with GG2 on S3 be safe to just put in an empty pocket and not get scratched? I take the back battery covers will be able to buy off eBay etc o XE released, so no problem in scratching that?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoNsPiRiSiZe:
You are seriously going to just be okay with scratching a $700 investment and then just buying a new back off eBay? O if I ever damage my baby when I get it I will cry until mold grows on it. It word be the end. I am spending $700 on a phone I will use for 2 years .... no way would I use it without at least a full body Zagg. Have u looked into those? Since u are gung ho on no case?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Any glass will scratch if it comes in to contact with mineral particles, at least put a screen protector on it!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Isadora:
I've had mobiles since 1998 and the only time I use a case is when I go to the beach, the rest of the time they just go naked. Never had screen protector either and I've yet to scratch or drop a phone :p

Phone goes either in a jacket pocket or a separate pocket in my handbag and I just make sure there's nothing else in there that could do some damage.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venekor:
The problem with the GS2 is the part that scratched was that bit at the bottom that sticks out. However the GS3 has all one cover at the back so the only part you're gonna scratch is a piece of cheap plastic that you can replace on ebay for as much as a cheap case.

Gorilla Glass doesn't need screen protectors, everyone goes on about the screen quality and then puts a protector on it and ruins the quality right there lol. I have never gotten a scratch to my screen on modern day smart phones, just don't put your phone in with your keys....

This is what pisses me off with iPhone users...

"Samsung phones are made from cheap plastic"

Just feel like yeah but at least we can see our phones and it's cheap to replace parts on it. When you buy an iPhone if you drop it the metal dents or the glass shatters at the back because it's made from cheaper glass than the front. So you have to buy a cheap looking ugly case to cover the phone, making it bulkier and you never even get to see your phone until you sell it.

Now you get these people saying...

"GS3 has a Pentile screen it sucks"

Oh look they have a screen protector on it which makes their screen look like ****.....

Just don't put anything on the phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
I'm thinking of going the naked route, been using my SGS1 without a case for the last year, and other than some scuffs on the back from putting it on hard surfaces and drunkenly sliding the phone when I pick it up, I have not noticed any significant scratch problems.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Yeah, my daughter still has my old N1 which has never had a screen protector on it and the screen is still just fine after some 3 years or whatever it has been. SGS2 same thing, got it when they came out, no screen protector, no scratches.

I do run cases though just to get the grippier surfaces. My own wish list for a phone would include it coming with a hard rubberized exterior that I didn't need to get a case for. Something soft enough to be grippy but hard enough that it didn't catch while going into or being pulled out of a pocket. A material like what is used on the seidio innocases.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMrMr111:
I can see there's a for and against!

I hate cases in. general as others have said the phones are made 8.6mm etc then a case goes on and boom its a monster again!

I have tried Zagg and others but it does make the screen worse, better protected I agree though.

My iPhone 4 had a full zagg body shield on, with my XE I have a spare battery back cover so no need and a slip pouch for when its in my pocket, best of both worlds I think?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sean2476:
My S1 is coming up for 2 years old now and the only protection I have ever had on it is a screen cover and a pouch that I slip it in to and its still mint. I have already received my new leather pouch for the S3 and it will also come with a new screen protector from CPW :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ciscostud:
Screen protectors are overrated...depending on phone. I've had my gnex for 5 months with no protection, in pocket, dropped on floor and not a single scratch. The S3 comes with even better glass via gorilla glass 2.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebobp:
I'm naked.

It's a gamble, naturally. You do not want to be naked if you're somewhere with a lot of sand. If you plan on reselling the device, it might also be prudent to take precautions. But if it's just going to be for you, you can do whatever the hell you want.

Never used a case or screen protecter on my gs2 and its mint had it since release. My HOX however has case on it as it goes shiny on rear if u scratch. With GS3 I'll prob just have pouch an that's it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HKboy92:
I can recommend one:

Samsung Galaxy S: Normal usage, naked. For in my pocket.

I hate it when my girlfriends cleans my screen because it's dirty because of fingerprints, it reveals all little cuts in the screen. But it still looks nice though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Venekor:
The rear of the GS3 is all one removable cover unlike the GS2 where the part prone to scratches was part of the main structure of the phone on that part sticking out at the bottom.

So if the GS3 gets scratched it'll be on that cheap bit of plastic you can replace for a tenner.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] German-Guy:
I hate covers & cases, too!

If you have dirt in your case or cover this scratch the phone too. Look at the bumper for iPhone 4(s)...

On my latest phones xperia play and EVO 3d I only use an screen protector and when the backcover a scratched I buy a new.

I want to use my smartphone in 1 Sec. in hands. No opening a cover or cases.

Yesterday I preordered my s3 and now I look @amazon for a screenprotector.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Plexicle:
I never use cases or screen protectors and I've never had an issue. I usually do buy some kind of pouch for the phone though, especially for when I'm at the beach, which is pretty often.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Have to agree with a couple of the above posts. I don't mind a nice sleek case with minimal protection though. I tend to take very good care of my electronics so its a rare occasion for me to drop my phone. I like the size and shape of phones nowadays and some of these cases are overkill. Especially the otter box ones.. lol, they make your phone just as big as a gameboy .

As for screen protector.. no way. Will never get one. I've tried a bunch and they ALL take away from the smooth glide of the naked screen IMO.
