If you still want Sense but no beats the only solution is to remove the apks and resign the file.

If you just dont want to use beats then you can flash a ROM with optional beats audio which as well as having the beats effect in the sound enhancer also gives other sound effects like EQ, Dolby, SRS and No Effects

Well I guess the only way to go is probably gonna be too technical for me to do myself, but thanks for all the help and responses.

Hello guys, I am looking to buy an Android device on T-Mobile USA. The phone doesn't have to be sold at T-Mo stores; rather, should be unlocked and fully working on HSPA (not just 2G).

Two devices that I have in mind are the HTC One S and the soon to be released Samsung GSiii. If anyone could pick between those or any others that are released/soon to be released, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

HTC HD2 it may come with windows mobile 6.5 but it can do almost everything under the sun. Currently using with dual booting windows 7.5 tango and a nexus port of ice cream sandwhich and its easy to work with when flashing roms.

Currently flashing a sense 2.1 build for a friend on a LG P505 and the whole process is ugly. Best of luck on whatever you chose.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
In Link2SD, when I move apps/games to SD card, does that go to the main one or the second partition ext3?

Is it good to store apps/games in main one or ext3?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gengi:
You use link2sd to free up internal storage.

You must link apk, dalvik cache, and libs to ext3 or ext2/4 depending how you have formated your partition. Dont move launcher because of performance. ;)

In the end, yes its safe.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
Where do I store my apps/games? In main SD card or ext3 partition?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] gengi:
For storing you use the sd card (fat32 partition). For using with link2sd you must use the ext partition.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
So Music/Image files can be stored in SD card (FAT32 partition) and install apps/games in ext3 partition?

I thought ext3 partition was to store dalvik cache and libs files
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] dxppxd:
The ext partition stores the apk, dex and lib files when you create a link. If moved normally to SD Card, then it's moved to the 'normal' fat partition where you store music and stuffs.

Sent from the other side... of the screen
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Aj.GaLaxY aCE:
if u configure the link2sd .. there is an option where to store the linked apps.. external or internal... choose external...

## some times the apps get stored on SD card and arent linked to sd-ext as in case of stock custom roms,.... so u have to manualluy multi select and just press.. actions-- create link ...

u can check where the roms are installed by slecting from the drop down menu -- linked ,, on internal .. on sd card ,, system etc..
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
So ext3 partition stores apps .APK, dex and lib files in and the main partition is for music/images file

Apps APK, dex and lib files aren't suppose to be stored in the main SD?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Conclusion:
Is this correct?

Hello all

Rooted my phone a week back, and it has been mostly working fine except for the WiFi hotspot feature. It used to work before rooting, but now I cannot get it to work at all and I have tried a bunch of stuff.

It doesn't give me any errors when I start it, but there used to be an icon in the header that shows its working no longer shows up.

I have tried to use 3rd party WiFi tether, but those didn't work either. Tried resetting the apn, and making an exact copy and selecting the new one does not make it work....

Any info or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I have removed some bloatware as well, would that affect it?

No it is broken on mine too.

Need the /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/database.db file from a Rogers RUU or ROM.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sims34:
So i wanted to go back to my stock firmware and tried to flash it with odin, but i got a big problem: it stucks on the S logo. I tried searching on the thread with bootloops but didn't found.

This is what i did:

At PDA i selected I9100XWLP7_I9100XXLPS_I9100XEULP5_HOME.tar.md5

Then i selected F. Reset Time and i started flashing.. After it says PASS it remains on that logo.. :(

Note: I tried with another firmware and still the same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atifsh:
one you do not tick or untick anything in Odin.

Two you need to do wipe before and after flashing.

Three it takes some time on fresh stock flash to boot.

If you can do download mode than first go to recovery wipe using cwm do format system and data, after that odin flash.

I think the only thing you have to do now is a full wipe... you dont have to flash a new fw or something else... ;)

i installed "4.0.3 Leak On Screen Buttons" which was in zip having two folders

1 - meta- inf [which has a com folder (with files in it update-binary and updater-script) and with three files CERT.RSA, MANIFEST.MF and CERT.SF]

2 - system (in it framework-res.apk)

so i installed this zip via cwm, but i didn't liked the concept as it wasn't looking good,etc

so as i had already backed up my original framework-res.apk , so using root explorer i moved it back in sys/framework folder

restarted my phone and all got fine....

Though my question is as those files : update-binary and updater-script ---- CERT.RSA, MANIFEST.MF and CERT.SF are not searchable and i guess should not be deleted as they were just updated .. so still would they be impacting my phone or its all kool as i havn't been able to search them or delete them ?!

is it important to find and delete them or its no need for that and its ok ?!

Hope someone understands what i am trying to ask and reply appropriately please i would highly appreciate the same!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eryen:
Think them like busybox (so you can mount delete etc)

And script file, that includes commands to do.

Every cwm zip files includes them. when you install zip file, these commands executed.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shantusingh:
Awesome!

Just ease me by telling that so its nothing but just used for commands, so i need not to be worried for them could be hampering my phone's performance ?!

a yes answer will do :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvyParts:
Just to clarify,

That folder contains the Zip signatures and file manifests. as well as the CWM controll scripts. ect. these should never be coppied to the phone on a flash. :) likewise if you edit them the zip will prob not work without resigning the zip.

[General Questions and Answers] ArmorD:
Hey!

Quick question here; Does the phone warranty "work" without a warranty receipt? I bought my phone couple of months ago, and I did not get a receipt with it. Now I'm selling this phone, and the buyer is asking that do I have the receipt...

I've heard that phone's warranty is in the IMEI code, and when you send it to the manufacter(Sony Ericsson in my case) they just check the code. Is that correct?

Thank you!!
[General Questions and Answers] cwb78:
With my carrier, I have never been asked for a receipt for a warranty exchange. With verizon in the US the exchange is done with the carrier not the manufacturer.

I would call the carrier the phone is with and ask them. It is possible that they may be able to forward a receipt to you.

I would run stock rom with a overclocked kernel get the "set cpu" app... set it to 1.84 ghz this run fine on my note seems very stable.min 384.If it seems unstable make you click set to boot "off" until everything seems stable then click set to boot enabled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
Da_G Has an odin root available in the DEV section for the stock GB. As far as I know there are only 2 types of recovery for the Note Braway's CWM and the TWRP 2.1.2 ( I use CWM.) As far as the UCL*** those are all ICS leak builds. UCLE2 being the most recent. Personally I have pretty much stuck with Team Perfections builds but depending on what you want another ROM may suite your needs. If you install one of the new roms they keep root access and install either SU or superuser and are all flashable via CWM, however I assume you need to be rooted prior to installing which is where Da_G root comes in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
Stock? I hate touchwiz lol. Im honestly going to try a few custom roms.

So I guess 4ext doesnt work on the note? Also, its easy to brick this device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
I didn't see any flash able zips for it in the dev section so I don't think its supported. Rom manager for the most part is unsupported also except for fixing permissions after flashing new stuff. This is my first experience with android (iPhone convert haha) I haven't had any bad experiences flashing yet but general rule of thumb is read and re read instructions for specific roms and make sure its specifically for the i717 not n7000 or anything else because that will hard brick. Also use only approved ics kernel because of the super brick bug out there
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Nope, you can just flash cwm with Odin and then flash a ROM without rooting first. The ROM is rooted.

The only reason to root first is if you want to run titanium backup to nip any apps you may have installed prior to deciding to ROM.

Also that "super brick bug" is only on exynos processor equipped phones, I717 has a Qualcomm. So if you stick to just kernels MADE FOR THIS DEVICE then you can't ever encounter it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cjsspape:
Ah was never 100% clear on that cuz I rooted prior to running saurom rom. As for the kernel thing that's what I meant about not using the n7000 stuff prolly should of been more specific didn't want ya to make a mistake on that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Yup.

And now that you've made the glorious switch to Android, when you upgrade to the next beast that catches your eye, you can take the titanium backup folder from your note, drop it in the sdcard of your new phone, install cwm, flash a ROM, then restore your backed up apps.

Easy peasy :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] SysAdmNj:
So I need to verify, I can completely install a rom that gets rid of touchwiz? Also would this same rom improve battery charging time?

If I could just flash cm7 on this baby I'd be fine with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
Cm7 is not supported on this device

There are a couple aosp roms floating around, but they are still in early development, alpha stage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
+1....Common misconception is that you need to be rooted to flash a custom ROM. CWM is the first thing I would flash. Like Studacris said, everything else is easy peasy.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
Exactly. No need to root stock ROM if your going to flash a rooted ROM anyway. Make sure you do a backup of your stocker before doing anything else. The only reason to root your stock ROM would be to backup all your apps and data. If you don't do that, you have to start from scratch. What's the issue you're having with the superuser zip?

I'm gonna assume your trying to flash cwm. When you flashed the file did you check the box in the upper left hand side that says reboot phone? Can't remember what it says exactly. If you didn't then you can reboot manually. After it reboots, you put the superuser zip on your sd, then you boot into recovery and flash that zip. Then you reboot system from cwm and you're rooted.

My phone is rooted now just cannot flash any Rom. Does it make a difference if i downloaded superuser. From market or what? This isn't my first rooted phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Froid:
It might. Just installing superuser from the market doesn't give you root. You're supposed to flash the superuser zip provided with odin 1.85. This is how you know if you have root. Download busybox installer from the market and run it. Superuser will ask for access if your rooted. After that download root checker from the market. Super user will also ask for access. Run the root checker and the busybox checker with that app. It will tell you if you have root and busybox installed correctly. Again, root access doesn't matter when flashing a ROM or making a backup in cwm. Do not use ROM manager app at all. You can download quickboot from the market. That app will let you boot into recovery if you have root.

Also... Stay the hell away from ROM manager, our device is not supported at all, and even if it was all that app does can be done in cwm with less possible complications.
