[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
So slap the image on a clean SD card and boot up from it. After it's done and I hit reboot, what would I do to get back to CM7 or CM9? I haven't had to do something like this yet. Any time I've had issues, I've been lucky enough to go back to a saved clockwork backup and restore things back to how they should be
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
First thing I would try is just to exit the new CWM via the menu to see if it gets you out of the bootloop. Retry booting without the SD in. If it will still only boot to recovery, I would again boot to my CWM and flash the new recovery to emmc. Next I would try to restore your old nandroid backup with the new CWM. If none of that works, flash a new CM to emmc with the new CWM.

[HTC Desire S] Metallurgico:
Hi there!

Could someone tell me how to remap soft touch buttons to get:

menu = recent apps

menu (hold) = menu

and how to remap them in general?

I tried to edit .kl files in keylayout folder like this:

key 139 APP_SWITCH

key 249 MENU

but soft keys stopped working.

I know codes are different for every device, so please do not redirect me to other devices' topics.

What I have to do?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
I've used Devil2_0.79 and now 0.94 since it was released.

As of today, when I change some setting (/sys/devices/virtual/misc/devil_idle/bus_limit to 1 or /sys/kernel/bigmem/enable to 1 or any other setting like this), after reboot all settings are reverted to default.

In more detail:

I use Root Explorer to navigate and edit. It says "Mounted as r/w" on top left.

I edit the file and change the setting, and upon exiting, I save the file. If I reopen the file, the change is there. After reboot, it reverts to default. :confused:

So, I can't control devil_idle and bigmem (my two tweaks on Devil Kernel).

Am I doing anything wrong? It used to work and changes were persistent... :confused:

I've even reflashed the kernel, wiped cache and dalvik, and still nothing.

Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] .:Crack:.:
You have to echo the desired value with some kind of init.d script or using command center and the devil.json (link in OP). Otherwise the file gets reverted to default.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
Ok... something must have changed tha I haven't noticed, because before I could change values as I described, and they sticked.

I'm fairly proficient in Linux, so I shouldn't have a problem writing init.d scrips, but I'll give Command Center a try. much more user-friendly, IMO.

I'll report back on results.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
Didn't work with CC. Settings are reset after reboot. :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
Didn't work with init.d script either.

What am I doing wrong?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
You need to comment 'log "Enabling Devil_Idle' out by putting a # before it.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Maybe you have to put a 'S' (capital) as first letter of the script. Some kernels only extract init.d scripts with it. I'm not sure if devil also.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
It worked! Adding the S at the beginning of the file name did it.

For future reference, the file name is now S00_tweaks

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
Well... I realize now that my success was not complete.

All settings are edited at boot, as necessary. So, devil_idle is working at my chosen frequencies.

It doesn't matter when Ii change these settings, because they take effect immediately.

Bigmem does not.

After changing I must reboot.

So, the setting is reset to 0, the phone boots and then my script edits it to 1.

At the time of boot, bigmem=0 (/sys/kernel/bigmem/enable, to be precise) and the kernelk boots as so.

init.d script is fine for devil_idle, but not for bigmem.

That leaves me exactly at the same place.

CC works now (I figured out the problem, wrong paths in json), but settings are still reverted at boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
DerTeufel built a test kernel with working bigmem. It boots and if you've set gigmem to something else than 0, it'll reboot to make it work.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
hum...

Getting weirder and weirder...

/sys/kernel/bigmem/enable = 0, but 720p play/rec is working...

How do I check if i'm running on bigmem/xl/normal kernel mode?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
Did you flash the devil3 kernel? You can look in settings->apps->running, hiw many RAM you have.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
I'm on Devil2_0.94.

I was under the impression that Devil3 was for other phone(s)... :confused:

What are the major differences betweeen Devil3_0.71 and Devil2_0.94?

I doubt that D3 is just a newer version, because D2 is still being developed and released regularly...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Jovenitto:
Anyway... I've flashed Devil3_0.71. :)

Some settings are permanent (bigmem and devil_idle/enable were "1" at first boot), but some are not (user_max, user_min, user_min_max_enable still revert to defaults).

I'll keep with the init.d script to set these up, and can check if they are set as I wish with CC and correct them on the fly, if necessary.

The most important setting was bigmem and that one works.

Still, I would like to know why these other settings don't "stick". Is it a bug in the kernel or is it just made that way?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dark_knight35:
No, D2 isn't developed anymore. DerTeufel named his kernel to D3, as it's the same kernel for more devices now.

[HTC EVO 3D] SlevinK:
Evo 3D HBOOT 1.5 lastest Spring Firmware never flashed VM firmware

Coming from MeanROM 4.3 GB Base, going to MeanROM ICS 1.9. I wiped data/cache/dalvik, ran modified superwipe, flashed ext4 recovery w/ smartflash on, then flashed the rom. Did everything I do on my other evo 3d but it kept rebooting right after boot when the home screen starts up just to have it reboot. I've tried wiping everything. Flashing rom + kernel through fastboot as well. I thought it was the ROM but it keeps doing it regardless or the ROM I flash. Including the one I was coming from.

Appreciate the help, thanks.
[HTC EVO 3D] zcink:
So I assume your S-ON. I had the same problem the other day flashing an ICS rom. I'm S-ON and GSM.

Just kept on rebooting no matter what.

I think it has to do with not flashing the new radio/firmware, but not sure.

I just went back to the GB rom and its fine.

You should be able to go back to your old rom. If you can't then maybe your old rom .zip file got corrupted.
[HTC EVO 3D] SlevinK:
Yeah, I re-downloaded the first ROM I was using. I still don't see why it worked fine on one my evo and not on my other. both are cdma.

Edit:

Well it's working now, it doesn't seem to work with any ICS roms, anyone know what could be wrong? My other evo works just fine with ICS roms.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You don't say whether you are S-Off or S-on. Hboot 1.5 S-on does not play well with ICS and usually bootloops.
[HTC EVO 3D] SlevinK:
Hboot 1.5 s-on

Sorry, I thought people would understand it was S-ON due to it being 1.5. Is there a method to getting S-ON in 1.5? Both of my Evo's are HBOOT 1.5 S-ON. One of them worked fine without a problem, doesn't matter the ICS ROM. The other, the one I"m having a hard time with, does.
[HTC EVO 3D] coal686:
You can get s-off on 1.5 if you follow this link.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1585846

I still recommend trying to get 1.4 s-off as that seems to be the one that has the least amount of problems. You can find how to do that in the CDMA Development forum stickies.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
I have been using the HTC evo on sprint for 2 years. My girlfriend saw the note and fell in love, and I was intrigued by the huge screen, since I use my phone more as a smartphone and less as an actual phone. So we went to ATT and bought a couple and are giving them a try, but haven't cancelled our sprint yet. She seems to like it a lot, haven't heard a complaint yet.

Out of the box, I was impressed with the screen for sure. Didn't liek the way the default browser handled zooming/word wrap on a lot of web pages, but a new browser fixed that. Battery life was good, but not great compared to what I was used to on some roms on my rooted evo. I am trying to learn to use the S-pen more. I haven't been blown away by the Note, but my Evo sure does seem small now.

I have been itching to root this thing and start installing some roms, but obviously wanted to wait until I was sure I was keeping it.

A couple questions, if I stay with ATT, I will be porting my sprint number. Will rooting the phone or installing a rom cause any issues with the porting of my old number? The Evo was super easy to root and flash roms, and also super easy to unroot in case it ever needed service, which it hasn't yet. Is it just as easy to root/unroot the Note? More concerned about the unrootingt, I am sure I can figure out the root process from the stickies, but I didn't see anything for unrooting, maybe I missed it. Just want to make sure I can get the phone serviced if I need to.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ph0n3D0rk:
Hey so, I recently switched from Verizon to AT&T. I kept my old number and rooted my note within three days of getting it. Haven't experienced any issues whatsoever and I think you will be blown away once you get hip deep into the Roms that are available. The only problem that I have come across is that I can't stop flashing new roms now. :D

But, it is super easy, really great guides on here and on Youtube if you're the visual type. I don't think you'll regret it. My only advice is just reading through the threads (or at least the last few pages) before flashing just to see the experiences of others and what to expect before you give it the go ahead. The rooting guides have guides toward the bottom on how to unroot and that's on youtube too.

Hope that helped.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
I had rooted my evo and flashed so many roms I can't even count. So it's not that rooting/flashing scares me, and I am sure I can figure it out with the guides just fine. I was more worried about voiding my warranty or whatever. More so with this phone then with my evo for some reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jaReyes:
There is an Odin image somewhere on these forums that will get you back to stock. It's pretty easy to do.

So far, this phone is the best phone I've ever had.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] andrawer:
yes you can restore your phone to stock if needed (warranty is only reason I can think of). You can do it w/your PC and the stock ROM file as you can see in one of the forum stickies, I think the development forum.

Just get on one of the latest ICS leaked ROMS...I highly recommend the OnlyOne ROM/MOD since it is the based on the latest leak with a few key mods/etc added. Runs gREAt. And has some Samsung Galaxy III add-ons ported (i.e. new Touchwiz UI, S Note, S Voice, tethering). The OTHER ROMS are also solid and have more theming and custom stuff.

Get a PC then use it to Root, install CWM and then install your ROM of choice.

I like staying on Stock stuff and tried to on my Note for a few weeks but there were too many benefits to rooting, etc.

Have fun. Again...the ICS Leaked ROMS are sweet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
The Note, and most Samsung phones for that matter, are among the hardest to hard brick and some of the easiest to return back to stock as a result. Samsung phones are also very easy to root. The Note is no exception. As others have stated, we have an ODIN package to bring you back from everything but a hard brick. And you're not likely to do that so long as you stay on these forums and not the n7000's. That's pretty much the only way people have bricked their devices beyond saving. And even then you can send a hard brick in to some site and save it with JTAG repairs for $50, which is much cheaper than a replacement phone.

Also, in addition to the stock ODIN package, we have a flash counter reset, do ATT will have no indication you ripped whatsoever. People have returned their Note with the flash counter tripped, and had no issues, but it doesn't hurt to be careful. By using the ODIN package and flash counter reset, your warranty is again valid, so you really have nothing to worry about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] erick161:
Best thing I've done was root and flash this yesterday. The stock experience was driving me crazy (came from a flashed atrix). I say go for it and don't look back. This phone was pretty easy to root and flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
Alright you all have convinced me. Off to read the root stickies/guide.

This is the method I want, correct? Looks like the other one isn't meant for custom roms, just to gain root access and leaves the flash counter at 0.

a. Flash counter raising: see here (http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1504218)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
No need to worry about the flash counter. There's an easy method to reset it and go back completely stock.

My suggestion: flash cwm, root, flash one of the awesome ics roms, and worry about going back to stock later. Totally worth it.

Flapjaxx'a ROM is what I'm currently running and it's up there for the smoothest and best Android experience I've seen through 3 Android phones and many other friends' phones. It's seriously like iOS/WP7 smooth for me. And great battery life. Wouldn't trade my Note for a damn thing. =].
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
Touch or non touch CWM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
Either is fine. I use non touch because it's what I used on my captivate and infuse and I'm used to it, it has never failed me. I've never used touch, but apparently it's just as stable. It's really a matter of preference add far as I'm concerned and whether you like using the volume and power buttons or your screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mike208:
Holy crap this backup is taking a while. They never took this long on my evo. Maybe 2-3 minutes max. This one has been going for 5-10

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GalaxySN00B:0:
Hey, im still debating the idea of getting an S3, ive got the SGS1 :O im still perfectly content with it. ive heard numerous amount of complaints that the TW Launcher has to reload after using the S3 for things such as gaming and intense web browsing. And considering the fact that the USA variant of the S3 has 2GB of Ram im worried whether in a few months time the International S3 will be lacking in terms of Ram, LG already announced their 2GB phone (although LG are so crappy in terms of software, i doubt it will even be as fast as the S2 -.-, no offence to any LG fans, just kidding there aren't any :D)

On a serious note though, im guessing most of the high end phones within the upcoming months will have 2GB Ram standard, and the fact that so many people are having Ram issues with TW is making me doubt whether i should get an S3 or wait for the next powerhouse of a phone with an A15 chip and 2GB of Ram. Is this merely just a software bug? Or is the Ram actually struggling to keep up? ive seen similar problems with the One X. :( Although ive heard that it has been fixed, which is a good sign. And tbh, although the Exynos Quadcore is badass, i dont think its very balanced, the S4 chip in the US variant of the One X is damn fast and im guessing its going to be the same in the S3, in most cases it even keeps up with Quad core, and 2GB of Ram and Dual core processor sounds abit more efficient than a crazy Quad-core chip and merely 1GB of RAM. i dont really think Quad core will catch on, apart from the HOX and S3 i think every other phone will move towards the S4 chip and later A15 chips. Which leads me to believe that the S3 will be horribly underpowered (in terms of RAM) compared to phones later on in the year, and baring in mind that ive still got an S1. i like my phones to still be keeping up for atleast 2 years before they show signs of slow down. it seems as though the S3 is a beast in some aspects and weak in others. No hate for it by the way incase some jack@$$ decides to say "GTFO STOP HATING ITS THE BEST PHONE IN THE WORLD" It will still be an absolutely amazing phone regardless...

I used this method to try and unroot my mytouch 4g: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863899 (it's the most popular way to unroot as some say)

1. Copy PD15IMG.zip and "part7backup-whatevernuberitscalled.bin" to the root of your sdcard

2. Connect your phone to your computer and navigate to your sdk folder then type adb push gfree /data/local

3. Open up terminal emulator or adb shell and type "su" press enter to get root privileges.

4. Type "cd /data/local" and hit enter

5. Type "chmod 777 gfree" and hit enter to make the program executable.

6. Now type "./gfree -f" press enter to run gfree again. It will disable wp on the emmc and remove the brq filter in the kernel. (as well as make another backup. delete this)

I'm stuck on step 6. I typed ./gfree -f but as it runs on my terminal emulator, it ends up saying modile failed to load: No such file or directory.
