XXALF2 is newer, UK release.

Other differences are difficult to confirm objectively, Samsung never release changelogs.

Firmware dates and details here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybdani:
It' s possible to know which are differences between alef/alf2 and ale8?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
All you can do is read the web and the xda forums and some of that is guesswork .

Change logs are not published .

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybdani:
I cannot find a post that explains differences between ale8 and uk stock rom. Please help. It's only country and modem?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo57:
Oh. So, can I flash these ROMs?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cybdani:
Yes using odin to flash. You can flash the stock rom. My phone comes with ALE8 and two days ago I've flashed ALF2. No problems here.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo57:
Alright. Odin? I'm still learning about all these. I have Asus Transformer Prime. Is odin same as CWM/TWRP?

Do some reading before you try to flash anything, or things could get messy...

Read this guide very carefully, follow it to the letter and you'll be OK.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo57:
Wow. Much more complicated than Prime. :confused:

Will try to understand before flashing.

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo57:
I still don't understand. Do I have to match the baseband in order to update my firmware, or root?

Here's my info, if it's any help.

Model number : GT-I9300

Android version : 4.0.4

Baseband version : I9300DXLE9

Build number : IMM76D.I9300XXALEF

Sorry if this troubles you. :(

As long as you follow a flashing guide to a TEE (do not skip any steps and do not TL;DR anything). Golden Rule #1 of Flashing: NEVER TICK RE-PARTITION.

Have fun with your phone ^^ (I have same tablet as you).
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romeo57:
Ok. After a lot of reading, I still don't understand much.

I'm new with Samsung devices, so bare with me with my noob questions. :o

1. The different basebands are for the languages or the system?

I'm from Malaysia with the baseband of DXLE9. Build XXALEF.

Can I flash with different baseband & build? Or the baseband have to be the same?

2. How about rooting?

Should I follow the baseband & build versions or straight away root?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
Heya all,

I've been searching for over an hour now and haven't found a response, so please forgive me and direct me to the appropriate thread if one exists. Here's my problem. When I went to bed last night, my TF101 was fine. No errors, running smooth, no problems. Plugged into the dock, and I put it on the charger, as I do every single other night, before I went to sleep. This morning, however, it's as if a band of demons has run amok in my TF101. I'm lagging all over the place, crashing, freezing- you name it, it's happened, short of the device fully erasing itself (I backed everything up a bit ago, just in case). NOTHING has changed. I've managed to resolve all the problems short of this one: I'm getting (and appear to be) damn near out of space in my app memory. I have the 32gig model, rooted, stock rom but Guevor's kernel v22.1, OC to 1404 per SetCPU default profiles. No app updates have installed, and no new apps have been installed, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how in the world I suddenly have no space left when last night I still had over half my memory empty in this device. I'm not a major Linux person, but am capable of following clear directions for troubleshooting, and any help is welcome.

Thanks in advance folks!

(edited because I can't spell for crap this morning)
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thing O Doom:
Your transformer may in fact have been possessed by a demonic horde. I recommend you factory reset in CWM (wiping cache and dalvik-cache as well) reinstall your ROM and have a priest perform a proper exorcism on the device. See if that helps.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
Damn. Thanks for the reply, Thing. I think this is one of those cases where one seeks advice because even though they know the answer, they don't want it to be true. I was really hoping to manage this without having to reset. As ridiculous as this will sound (because it is ridiculous), I don't want to lose all the work and progress I've made on my Sims Freeplay game. I've got MyBackup Pro, but that doesn't seem to play well with SU, as I just get the "SuperUser has been granted access" or whatever it says when it tries to run, and it's never backed up the app quite like that before, the full progress. It only re-installs the .pkg file. I wonder if Titanium Backup would work better. Your thoughts?

Incidentally, Thing O Doom, you were the one who saved me from the horrible doom of being unrooted. I was not thinking, and updated to .24 without making sure to back my root up, and sure enough, got stuck. Your method was the one that worked for my rather touchy and pissy, although beloved, Transformer. I swear, this thing is possessed by VIKI from I, Robot.

Which brings me to my next question.... Please bear in mind that this is WAY out of my depth, so if it's ridiculous please be careful when you fall out of your chair laughing, but is there some way to extract my Sims game, with all it's progress and data bases, from a nandroid backup, and then just insert/install that back onto my TF101 after the wipe?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottyf79:
Titanium backup.....backup app and data (not system)(do a batch backup for all your apps)

Free on play store.

Just redownload and then reinstall tb after flashing any rom & batch restore your apps with data.

Use the tick in the top right corner to see the batch options. Regularly redo your backups for modified data aswell.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
Thanks Scotty.

Unfortunately, I may be out of luck. It seems like no matter what I uninstall, I can't clear any space at all. It stays at around 225MB free, despite me having uninstalled around 300MB of apps, clearing caches, and not having more than 13gigs full in the first place. :( I wonder if there is a way to side-load it. Like, download the .apk file and install from there... Hmmm.... I'll try that, see if there's any luck there. I paid for Titanium a while back. I just downloaded the Revolver zip (if I have to flash, I'm putting a rom on here, and not messing with ASUS's silliness anymore), so it will let me DL from the web...
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
OK, I managed to get TB to install, and now have backups. I noticed that TB has a feature called "Extract from Nandroid", and am hoping that if the backup fails somehow, I can pull it from the nandroid. Here goes nothing. Thanks for the help guys!
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
@Thing, the restore worked. Whatever the Horde of Demons THOUGHT it was going to get away with has failed, and I now have a quietly behaving TF101 again. I'm giving Revolution a test spin.

@Scotty, thank you again for your EXCELLENT suggestion. My Sims backed up and restored beautifully from TB, and it's now my daily driver for backups. They've made a lot of improvements since I stopped using it in favour of MyBackupPro.

My TF101 is purring along, better than before now, and I'm quite pleased with it. Thanks again guys.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnarutox:
I have the same problem also.. every weeks or so my TF would run out of space..

I read somewhere. Here in XDA that to check the logs folder in. /DATA/LOGS

Some apps keep making a bunch of log files and it would filled up my TF free space.. now I just check the logs folder and delete those pesky files (I use es file explorer)

Hope that help you..
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rykatemom:
Thanks for that! I've bookmarked this thread so I can try that before wiping next time. I've also switched to Titanium Backup, since it actually restores the app data as well.
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
So I already did s-off. My new issue is, I am trying to install a rom, but CWM freezes/restarts at random in recovery (CWM)

I don't know what to do. If I try it enough times I can eventually install a rom.

I followed the instructions, after many attemps I was finally able to install the rom along with the patch and the extra files as listed in the instructions. The system hangs in the HTC logo. Why?

Download partitioning zip, unzip to desktop

You get 3 files, put them on the root of your SD card

Reboot in recovery

Make nandroid backup

Format system

Factory reset

Wipe battery stats

Install MTD-recovery.zip

Reboot in recovery

Install rom zip

Install MTD-boot.zip

If you need a patch, install it now

I tried CWM 5.8.X.X (the touch screen version) and it does the same thing! It freezes at random, most of time I can not install a rom, and when I do it just hangs in the HTC logo. I don't understand what the problem is I already have S-Off, I already flashed CWM using fast boot so why am I still having this issue?

Someone please help me.
[HTC Wildfire S] F9zSlavik:
I found this thread and it has CWM 4.0.1.5, I installed it and solved all of my issues. I can install roms with no issues. I don't understand why I needed that version while the version I was given was 5.0.2.8 for cdma phones.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] rovex:
Anyone else find the standard water drop noise really annoying? I certainly do.

To change the sounds you need to replace the files TW_Touch.ogg and S_HW_Touch.ogg with something more to your taste.

Here are modified files that replace the 'doink' with simple click, as it was with the S2.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qzsiry4eo02fq3d/TW_Touch.ogg

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hxi8hgxv6w3ms6l/S_HW_Touch.ogg

Put them in system/media/audio/ui you need root and a root browser.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] saldawop:
Thank you, that sound was so annoying.

I dont suppose you know where the sound for the dialler keypad is?That is still the annoying water drop.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Olywa123:
Hi there, Did you ever find a solution to this?

Can anyone else help in replacing the water drop sounds on the dialer - I know it can be turned off but would rather have a simple click/beep instead. I have seen some custom Roms have the sounds changed so it must be doable (I have the Stock Samsung Rom, rooted.)?

Thanks,

I think i will replace it in a few Day's.

At the moment i am not able to do this.

So when anyone want the TurkbeyRom Theme.. PN me.. i Ported this for Other Roms.. I Tested this only on CheckRom EvoHD v2.

maybe it will run on other Rom's.

In The German Forum's, i got for this over 200 Downloads..

For yor Mind: I have Only ported this, it's not my Theme.

When I looked at s3 in store it was a major turnoff. Made mistake of asking Sprint employee how to.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] ciscostud:
I replaced these files as instructed but I'm still getting the doink sound.

I believe I replaced them correctly because I can manually play the click sound if I select these files in that directory.

Edit **nevermind I assumed this post was about the lock screen ***
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] sciayanpsy:
-ve response

I also replaced the Two files properly via Root Explorer... but the darn Doink sound won't go away...it's really damn irritating...

Even after rebooting my device it didn't change....:(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] maluminse:
Did you change the instructions? Or did someone delete a response with instructions. Im doing this again but I swore there was more to it.

Delete the old ones and paste the new.

Make sure you follow the path. The first time one option seemed similar.

I just pasted these in the right folder after deleting the old ones first. Worked fine. Clicking away to my ears delight.Thanks again.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] chaxman:
I just used these commands through ADB, it will also backup the current sound files to external SD Card:

su
cd /system/media/audio/ui/
mv Lock.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundBackup/
mv S_HW_Touch.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundBackup/
mv TW_Touch.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundBackup/
mv Unlock.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundBackup/
cp KeypressStandard.ogg TW_Touch.ogg
cp KeyPressStandard.ogg S_HW_Touch.ogg
cp Cam_Stop.ogg Lock.ogg
cp Cam_Stop.ogg Unlock.ogg
cp KeypressStandard.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundNew/TW_Touch.ogg
cp KeyPressStandard.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundNew/S_HW_Touch.ogg
cp Cam_Stop.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundNew/Lock.ogg
cp Cam_Stop.ogg /storage/extSdCard/UISoundNew/Unlock.ogg
reboot

You might have to run mkdir /storage/extSdCard/UISoundBackup/ and mkdir /storage/extSdCard/UISoundNew/ first, I dunno.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] quattro527:
I don't what is it with Samsung and all these "nature" sounds... luckily for Android and the ability to root/mod/hack stuff. I used to hate Samsung phones back in the dumb-phone days...all the ring tones, wallpaper, and notifications were something nature-related (bird chirps, water drips, trees, waterfalls, etc). I have nothing against nature, but it doesn't belong on a phone personally. :rolleyes:

Ok they have the suffix of txt change it to ogg.

Also there IS a possibility they are the same file. The prefixes are correct but the links below may be to the same file. If the prefix is correct the file is correct.

Links are correct. Disregard the hash in the big box. Click download at the top right. It will download as a .txt file. Change to .ogg at some point before or even after installing to the right folder.

Hey guys, this is my third thread here at XDA and sorry if some people get exited seeing the title but this is just a very small guide on how to make your sensation look like Xperia S (Just the Home Screen / Widgets / CM9 Theme)

I'm a huge fan of Xperia UI but no perfect ROM n XDA for our Sensation to make it look like Xperia.

So with all other resources i tried something else and here are the screenshots:

----

DOWNLOADS​

1) CM 9 Theme Download Link -->>Credit: jasonevil<<--

2) XPERIA S Home Launcher with Settings Download Link -->Credit: ra3al<--

3) Clock Widgets Download Link

4) Weather Widgets Download Link

5) Widget Picker -- Required for above two widgets.Download Link

6) Sony Sketch -- Included a Zip in the attachment -- Download it and follow the instructions in future. Its is not a flashable zip..!! So FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY.

7) Sony Sketch -- Added Flashable Zip for Sony Sketch Font -- Enjoy Guys. Didn't Get time to test it. But I am sure it will work. Make a Backup before Flashing Just In case.. :angel: File Name: FontPack-ICS-SonySketch-Super-Android

ADDITIONAL DOWNLOADS:

[HTC Sensation] Super-Android:
Instructions

NOTE: I if u want to install the theme, then you need to have CM9/OS/AOKP Rom. All the non CM9/OS users may skip the first step, but still you can carry on with second and third step. Please make a backup before trying anything.​

1) Theme: Download the theme and install it like a normal apk file and apply it through "Theme Chooser".

Sense 4.0 users --> Specially PKMN Rom users cn go here and get the xperia styled status bar, then follow remaining two steps. Thanks jerrytan93.

2) Xperia Launcher: Same as above. Download the apk file. Install and start the launcher.

3) Widgets: Download both the widgets. And even download and install Widget picker, it is required by ClockWidgets and WeatherWidget

*Please don't ask me if the widgets can work with other launchers. This is impossible, unless the author of the respective launcher makes significant changes in their source code!

4) Apply Sony Sketch Fonts Completely using the above attached file, here are the steps you should follow:

I) Extract the file somewhere in your sdcard, you should find these four files.

Roboto-Bold.ttf

Roboto-BoldItalic.ttf

Roboto-Italic.ttf

Roboto-Regular.ttf

II) Using Root Explorer/ any other explorer with root access, copy-paste them to /system/fonts/ .. Your phone might start showing wierd fonts, no worries thats normal.. REBOOT

Then change the permissions to rw-r-r

III) After Changing the permission. REBOOT.. ENJOY...!!! ;)
