I love them. Best budget screen protector IMHO. I Get them for literally every phone I get because of the value/quality.

Think about them as a budget zagg. They are not perfect, but for this price they can't be beat. Plus they ship quickly with tracking and are made in the USA :D

I've been using these for years. Alan is a stand up guy and each time I've had an issue, he refunds and then asks questions. I've gotten all mine from eBay, the prices seem a little lower there than from his website.
[Member-Found Deals] zakdoc89:
Got mines...

Even though i live at the southern tip of africa.. shipping took just over a week...

Seriously impressed. And after a few days you dont even notice the screen protector. No Orange peel effect like Zagg. And the crispness of the screen is preserved.

I come from Ordroid 2.1.1, default everything during installation, its working fine for me and I can't complain about battery life.

I decided to try the latest one (8.x.x) and I downloaded it, I back up my rom and try to install the new one, but every time I choose to full wipe installation it says

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /Dec/block/mmcblk1p2

Error formatting /sd-ext!"

and then it stops the installation

Help me please, what should I do :(

[HTC EVO 3D] MSK01:
So, I rooted my phone last night and ever since I've been stuck in bootloop. I loaded one rom and it was in bootloop all night until the phone died. I charged the phone up, wiped it and tried another, stuck in bootloop for hours with nothing working. Now, the bigger problem is, I - being an idiot - forgot to do a nandroid backup so there is nothing to restore too, yet when I set it to factory settings it's once again stuck in bootloop.

All my phone now displays is the green HTC logo on the white background, until the phone battery dies.

So... how screwed am I?

EDIT: CDMA, S-on, 1.50, I used HTC dev to root it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Spazz Monk3y:
Did you root with HTC dev. You need to flash the boot.IMG using fastboot.
[HTC EVO 3D] Astrikz:
We need more info dude.

CMDA or GSM?

what rom did you try to install?

hboot 1.50 or 1.40?

S-On or S-OFF

The more info the more we can help you.
[HTC EVO 3D] MSK01:
CDMA, S-on, 1.50, I used HTC dev to root it. CM 9 Nightly.
[HTC EVO 3D] Spazz Monk3y:
Do what I said. Boot your phone into the boot loader. Select fastboot. Stick the boot.IMG from the Rom you used into the folder on the pc that you used with htcdev.

Connect your device.

Open up command prompt. Navigate to the folder in command prompt where you put the boot.IMG

Type fastboot flash boot boot.IMG

If it works it will say so restart your phone and enjoy.
[HTC EVO 3D] MSK01:
If you hadn't said anything I probably would have been running around in circles for the rest of the day. I just did and I'm waiting for it to restart right now. Hopefully it works.
[HTC EVO 3D] Spazz Monk3y:
Hopefully it will work. If you flash anymore roms you have to do the same flash boot.img using fastboot since you unlocked with HTC dev.
[HTC EVO 3D] MSK01:
Meaning I can just nandroid backup this rom? Or do I have to reflash it then flash the new ones over it?
[HTC EVO 3D] Spazz Monk3y:
If you want to flash a new rom do a nandroid backup first and then wipe everything. But everytime you flash a new Rom you have to flash the boot.IMG seperatley that was supplied with the Rom if that makes sense. This also applied when doing a recovery.
[HTC EVO 3D] MSK01:
Unless the boot.IMG is automatically with each rom that does not make sense. However, if that means (which I pretty sure it does, I just need that extra clear clarification) that a new boot.IMG is supposed to be supplied with every single new ROM then that would explain why my phone is still in bootloop. No changes since last time I was on, about an hour ago I took the battery out and restarted it.

So it's still in bootloop whenever I try anything.
[HTC EVO 3D] cowkong:
Help as well...

Stuck in the same problem. Hboot 1.50, S-on, and I'm trying to load Evergreen's CM7 port. I'm also using CWM 4.x (can't remember number, just the non touch version). Whenever I try to start my phone all I get is the white HTC screen with the little vibrate, then the black screen, and then the HTC screen once again and so on. I've tried flashing the boot from the file and then flashing the ROM with and without the boot.img in the .zip file. Help me. Please.
[HTC EVO 3D] Spazz Monk3y:
You need to flash the rom first then restart your phone load in to fastboot and flash the boot.img using fastboot. Search the forums there should be a more detailed way on how to do this. But its pretty much the same instructions I gave in previous post.

Try following this if your struggling.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/8qonxj8jsawcesl/Android Fastboot boot.docx
[HTC EVO 3D] cowkong:
If that last reply was meant me, I've already tried that. Doesn't change anything at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] Spazz Monk3y:
Ah ok you mentioned you flashed the boot.img first that's all

Also try formatting your sd card or use a spare one and format that and then flashing the Rom and boot.IMG. I had to do that with my desire s.

That worked. Holy ****, that worked! Thank you so much!!

For about the last two weeks anything on my phone that uses the cell tower positioning to figure out location keeps saying I'm in Nashua, in New Hampshire... I live in Dallas, Texas. A little ways off for sure.

My biggest problem with this is I have a weather widget on my homeacreen that I let be set based on geolocation because I live and work in two different cities. But as I said, recently it just shows Nashua.

I haven't done anything to my phone since or right before this started, so I don't even know what to look at. Any help or advice would rock.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daoutlawz:
Hey guys

I've noticed if I'm in an app for a while and hit the home screen or go back to the launcher it refreshes. I see a blank screen (wallpaper only) and I can see the icons and dock get redrawn. I've had the galaxy note before this and that phone never did it. It takes between 2 and 3 seconds to redraw.

It happens with other launchers too.

Anyone know why? It's quite annoying.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] puiradu2009:
Confirming. Maybe a software issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
My best guess would be that the system is low on resources and kills off the launcher. The launcher's OOM value might be too high.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daoutlawz:
So best hope at this stage is a custom Rom which addresses the issue??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
Yeah, some sort of "keep launcher in memory" would be nice to have. We won't get this until we get better custom roms though.

Post to confirm im facing the same issue
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyGalaxy:
Does anyone know if the Custom ROM 'Omega v4.0' for the Galaxy S3 has the option (like Apex Launcher) to KEEP IN MEMORY..?

The ONE and ONLY reason i want to change ROMs is because my homescreen widgets and icons are CONSTANTLY re-drawing whenever i exit an app, and its WINDING ME UP!

Does the same for any other launcher!!

Apex launcher (whilst kept in memory) seems to be better, but i would prefer the stock launcher so was thinking of changing to the Omega ROM.

Can the Omega v4.0 ROM be 'KEPT IN MEMORY'..?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] member68:
No, it does not include a keep in memory function. You could try the SuperCharger script though to make your launcher hard to kill.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
system/ build.prop tweaks

This works for me.........

Faster home screen scrolling

; change value 256m > 128m ;

dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m

Force launcher to stay in memory

; add to build.prop

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

Doubt it's placebo, but seems to be working :) Very little redraw with

TW Launcher

Edit: Just make sure you still have ONE clear space as the last line after editing with the in-phone text editor and

reboot

for changes to stick.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyGalaxy:
Made these changes, been going for half hour so far and FINALLY noticing a difference! Time will tell obviously but for once things like exiting the Market (Play Store) arent making my launcher need to re-draw widgets and icons!

YOU ARE A LEGEND!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
No problem at all.

Credit though to whoever first discovered the tweak, just sharing and trying to help out. I've previously cooked these tweaks (and others) into personal ROMs, and also found in allot of custom public released ROMs I've flashed on various devices here in XDA.

I don't think its placebo, and can see greatly reduced TW Launcher redraw. Clock/weather widget is much better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmd512:
Nope, just reloaded with 128m. Will try the ro.home_app_adj=1 now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
I started a thread based on this tweak and later came to know that those build. Prop tweaks won't work on ics and hence deleted the thread. Personally I felt the redraw reduced to some extent,may be a placebo effect ;)

《tapatalked from galaxy s3》
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Personally only tested with TW launcher. Seems to do a better job than without, but not always.

Were you using with TW or market launcher?

Secondly, did you use capitals (where required) and reboot after?

Placebo, who knows, all I can say it appears to lessen redraw on TW, never implied eliminate. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMvp:
Confirming I also have this issue.

I've read some people saying the new firmware update should fix this issue. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

If not, then I will probably have to look into rooting my phone, getting a bit tired of freeing up RAM every 1½ day.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholas099:
Perm solution is to increase the ram

That should be the reason why they increase the RAM from 1GB to 2GB

I will be doing it as soon as i can source the 2GB RAM from eBay.

Anyone know this?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidharthaXx:
1. firware upgrade does not fix this issue

2. if this doesn't happen on the S2 then there is no way this is a ram related issue. it's a software related issue maybe not managing ram correctly. but it can be fixed with a software solution.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norpan111:
Just open the phone and insert an extra gb ram, it will work well! I just inserted 2gb extra and installed some water- cooling while at it. Overclocked to 4ghz it turns on itself and start a game before I even knew I wanted it to start.. It's THAT fast! Still having redraws... So I can confirm its software related issue
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
I'm part of the Omega team, and I was testing various build.prop tweaks regarding vm heap size a few days back.

I found the following settings to be optimal on my GS3 with Omega 4.1/4.2

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m (This is the initial size of a Dalvik VM heap when created)

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m (This is the maximum size a Dalvik VM heap can grow to)

dalvik.vm.heapsize=64m (This is the maximum size a Dalvik VM heap can grow to for 'large heap' apps - apps that specify android:largeHeap=true in their application manifest)

I saw good results with these settings, but, I cant be sure that dalvik.vm.heapsize set to 64m wont create problems on some larger apps that Ive not used extensively, or dont have installed.

So I'm recommending the following settings. These settings didnt make it into Omega 5.0 but hopefully will make it into the next version by default:

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m

Complete Placebo :)

in ICS, and ADJ settings in build.prop are ignored.

These settings in ICS are in services.jar
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
@ subvertbeats

Thanks for your comments and posting of past test summary.

I'll give your settings a go, and reduce the heap size to 64. See how I go. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
Let us know how you get on :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
OK, to follow up on this...

Attached is a patched services.jar for Omega 5.0 that has launcher priority set to 1 (Die Hard) vs the stock value of 6.

1. Download this file to your machine.

2. Open a command prompt / terminal at the location of your downloaded services.jar

3. Connect your SGS3 to your machine via USB

4. Use adb to push the file to your machine:

adb devices
// just to validate your device is seen
adb remount
// should see message indicating remount is succesful
adb push services.jar /system/framework/services.jar
// should see message indicating transfer complete: (1396054 bytes in x.yyy s)

5. Open a terminal on your device and set correct permissions on the file:

cd /system/framework
su
busybox mount -o remount,rw /system
chown 0.0 services.jar
chmod 644 services.jar

6. Reboot into recovery and wipe Dalvik cache

7. Reboot into ROM

8. Report back here if this has helped improve any homescreen redraw issues you may have been having :)

Credits to zeppelinrox for the research behind this one and his useful webapp for patching services.jar.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Reporting back after 10 mins of heavy usage with above post settings.

Opened just about every app I could and left them in ram or running in task manager. Used Google Play for a bit and XDA.

Early result: Improved redraw of TW home screen, particularly with the weather widget.

Sorry, can't give a longer test yet and determine if it's sporadic, as need to charge battery. Edit: onto the tab
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
You just mean the dalvik vm heap build.prop weaks right?

I see you're not on Omega - so dont use that patched services.jar (for those on Omega 5.0 that should mean that the launcher is killed far less often (and hence redraws will happen far less often)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Sorry, yep 64m

Looks like I might CWM backup and give Omega a run ;). Tomorrow.......

Will see how 64m runs for a while first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SidharthaXx:
subvertbeats....

can you let us know when you think you have definitively fixed this problem and it's included in the Omega rom... I will wait until then before downloading.

Many Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] subvertbeats:
It seems good so far, but havent been using my phone heavily.

Would appreciate others testing. Only then with a broader sample than just me will I recommend it being included in the next version of Omega.

Ive had occasional redraws with both Apex (with keep in memory option checked) and Nova on stock ALF2 and Omega 5.0 (ALF2) - hence me looking into the services.jar patch.

No launcher redraws yet since patching services.jar, so I'm hopeful, but too early to tell.

So far I've uploaded my services.jar, patched it and flashed it with the latest Wanam. Still testing here......

The results of 64m were sporadic. Initially I thought better, but the launcher seemed to be killed off anyway. Still occasional and noticeable redraw of the weather widget (edit: in TW launcher) . :o

Omega ROM looks nice too. Will be downloading today sometime and test. Tried before bed last night, but very slow due to the popularity I suppose. :)

Can't wait for SiyahKernel dual boot recovery options :D
