[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntinlupa:
Sorry for this perhaps a foolish question but here goes:

Will somebody please explain to me what is tablet mode and phone mode? Why do we have to put the note on tablet mode or phone mode? why not together?

THANKS!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
it's not foolish, but you might have probably googled the answer yourself, shortly speaking ICS interface is bit different on larger screens (tablets) than on smaller screens (phones), hence two modes - google for details. Now if you turn on the tablet mode on small screen, the text and icons will become really small. Note with it's 5.3" screen sits somewhere in between, so on some ROMs you might switch it to tablet mode, and be still able to see the text and icons, but there is no "must" here, it's your choice. the two ROMs I'm aware of that support tablet mode are CM9 and Paranoid, not sure about stock ones. the way you can change mode is by changing screen DPI from default 320 to afair 213, either by editing build.prop file or using one of the apps available in the market (search phrase: screen density).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntinlupa:
Thanks. I did not even know this pertains to ICS. I am still on GB until brick problem is resolved.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
Should you be tempted to try, I'd recommend CM9, which should be safe to install, provided you follow instructions

How can u do this? When i edited my stock LQ3 Rom build.prop i falling problems like unfortunately system ui stop, my top toggle bar vanish etc.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
As said before I'm not sure about tablet mode on stock ROMs, but to me it seems that - in true explorer's spirit - you've checked it, and it just did not work, which seems possible, considering that Samsung stock ROMs are heavily modified.

I might be wrong, and maybe it's possible to have working tablet mode under stock ICS, but so far have not encountered any proof (did not search for it though)

If you are really desperate for this mode, try either CM9 (have it, use it, and I'm not going back to stock anytime soon) or Paranoid, although my personal opinion - after trying for myself - is that tablet mode does not provide any special excitement, apart from almost invisible icons (as for the text, luckily, CM9 has an option of increasing system font size, so I was able to read the icon labels at least)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntinlupa:
Thanks but I don't want to flash firmware daily;). The CM9 site does not even have a "stable" or RC build. when this will stop being a WIP job they are not indicating. I only want a declared as stable rom.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
there must be few minor issues pending, otherwise it would already be declared stable, but I'm running it for few weeks, and see no annoyances so far (except for USB mode speed, but it might be a problem on my side) additionally devs are providing nightly updates, so each day it gets little bit better under the hood
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntinlupa:
I still did not get the concept of phone and tablet mode. I am on stock GB, while browsing thru XDA app I get a sms from my phone number. Isn't the browsing mode tablet mode and the sms phone mode? Why call the change in display density "tablet" mode? Why not call everything pertaining to telephony as phone mode and all the others are tablet mode?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p107r0:
it's not related to device function, it's related to screen size - tablet have bigger screen, so it is possible to display more things on the screen at the same time, e.g. in Settings you will see main menu on the left, phones with smaller screen will display only one settings item contents
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muntinlupa:
Thanks for your reply.

As to trying out ICS, not in a hurry,might wait for Jelly bean as the nexus will get it soon-perhaps note will have it?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Vicpdx18:
I got s-off by the wire trick and it worked only thing now is my bootloader is now locked not relocked but locked.

I was wondering since with s-on and the boot loader unlocked i had to fast boot kernels and flash roms via recovery.

With s-off but the bootloader locked does that mean i can flash roms and kernels at the same time in the recovery or do i need to unlock my boot loader again to do that?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ashtiany:
When I try to install apps like GTA 3 or Max Payne, it gives me an error which says "There is an error parsing the package".

Searched about it and it seems its because they won't work on Gingerbread 2.3.6?..

Is there any way around this? I'm currently on Resurrection Remix which works fine but it seems to consumer more battery

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheIceKing:
Why don't you try a Samsung based Ice rom as opposed to a Cyanogen based one (like Resurrection Remix). They're a little more battery friendly in my personal experience.

Personally I use ParanoidAndroid (Cyanogen based), but battery life is acceptable (around 4 / 4,5 hours of screentime).

Checkrom is good but there's no reason to stay on Gingerbread just for the battery life imho.

You can also try to flash a different kernel if your'e not happy with you're battery life :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mskip:
Anyone with a bricked phone from flashing the gsm boot image, flash this via Odin as a PDA.

It will flash a stock boot image back to your device.

1. Extract Odin files to a folder from the attachment.

How to get into Download Mode (For Odin)

1. Unplug the USB cable.

2. Shut down the phone.

3. Hold down the 'HOME' + 'VOLUME DOWN' buttons and press the 'POWER' button for about 2 seconds until a WARNING! Screen appears. Press the 'VOLUME UP' button to enter Download Mode.

2. Tick 'Auto Reboot' and 'F. Reset Time' in Odin and nothing else.

3. Download the boot image and load into Odin as a PDA.

4. Click on Start to flash the image.

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?i8ulpdcq4t9go41

DO NOT UNZIP THE BOOT TAR FILE, FLASH IT AS IT IS.

Mark.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Disconn3ct:
I'll get into it in the next hour or two and see if I can't get a basic cwm image built. (Simple version, cwm ramdisk with this kernel.)

Update: Here's an image (recovery, not boot!) for anyone who wants to test it.

Edit 2: Tested it, it doesn't work. Seemed a little too easy :) Same symptoms as the other recovery - shows 'starting recovery' and then turns off.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Tweezydak1d:
With the sprint recovery as soon as I see starting recovery I let the buttons go and it goes into recovery

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kscasper13:
thanks mskip! i actually returned my phone and got a new one because i didn't know how long it would be until you or someone posted this file.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] orangekid:
I am a little confused.

Is this for CDMA users who accidentally flashed a GSM image, or is this made for GSM users?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mskip:
This is in the Sprint/Verizon/AT&T Forum and is therefore for those users who have bricked their devices by flashing a gsm boot image.

Mark.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] orangekid:
so just to clarify, this wouldn't apply to AT&T or T-Mobile since they ARE GSM and therefore will not brick their devices by flashing a gsm boot image correcT?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mskip:
As far as I was aware AT&T, Verizon and Sprint models are CDMA/LTE and T-Mobile is GSM but none would work with an International boot image since the hardware is different. If I am wrong please correct me as that was my understanding of these devices.

Just to clarify I have added the 'International' part to the thread title.

Mark.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jntdroid:
Thanks for this Mark.

To clarify a couple of things - the combination of this, plus your tool, should pretty much make the GS3 (on Tmobile) able to restore completely back to it's factory state in just about any situation, correct? Or are we still looking for a Tmo recovery.img?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] orangekid:
Tmobile and AT&T are GSM, Verizon and Sprint are CDMA, so when you said gsm I was confused.

Since all US variants have the same SoC which is different than international this makes more sense now that you added international to the title.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mskip:
There are no stock recovery images for any of the US variants yet as the only rooting method to date is to flash a custom recovery image (cwm) and install the root files via cwm. This means the stock recovery image is overwritten and cannot be dumped after rooting.

I am working on a rootable boot image which would leave the recovery untouched and therefore retrevable.

Mark.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jntdroid:
Thanks - and thanks for working on all of it. Looking forward to that.

Forgive me if this is the wrong place to post this, I have already hard bricked my phone last week, fixed now, but question, for example, this was the rom that hard bricked my device http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1734643. what I am asking, was this rom compatible with the T-mobile T999? I wish that this thread was going before I started, are the roms going to broken down into different categories for specific model GS3? Good info to know on the GSM and CDMA differences.

Thank you, good job.

it's because the photo has different proportions than the screen's resolution. everything's okay.

to make it appear on the screen without the black borders the photo should've been stretched and it wouldn't look natural.

[Nokia Lumia 800] MaskedMagi:
Hi guys, I was wondering if any one could help me out.

I've got a Nokia Lumia 800 Dark Knight Rises edition device and had to reset it. This meant that I lost all of the exclusive ringtones, videos, wallpapers and downloadable content that was present with the device, and in the settings and about phone section it lists the phone as a standard Nokia Lumia 800, as opposed to a DKR edition one.

I thought that these extras would be baked into the ROM, so I didn't think that a full reset would wipe any of it.

Is there any chance at all that I could get this stuff back, either through flashing a Dark Knight Rises ROM onto the device, or if anyone can share the content with me on here, that would be great.

I know it's a long shot but I thought I'd ask any way.

Thanks for your time and help.
[Nokia Lumia 800] Giac1:
That really sucks for you :(, but even if you were able to interop unlock your phone (provided it has the qualcomm bootloader) I don't think anyone here has the cab with all the extra content, I dont think it's on navifirm either. There is a dark knight rises app on marketplace from Nokia....not sure if installing it on your phone will help. My best bet would simply be to return it to the shop you got it from and ask them to load the extra content again.
[Nokia Lumia 800] MaskedMagi:
Thanks for the help. I can't believe that it wasn't cooked into the ROM itself, you would have thought that they would have taken into account this sort of thing happening!
[Nokia Lumia 800] Giac1:
From the looks of it they added the exclusive content after flashing the ROM, which indeed seems really dumb.
[Nokia Lumia 800] paulheu:
I'd contact Nokia Care about this, they should know what your options are on this.

Unfortunately the form does not allow me to link the URL that would be (without the space;

http: // nokia . com / support
[Nokia Lumia 800] MaskedMagi:
Thanks, I've contacted them too. Can only wait now I guess...
[Nokia Lumia 800] nishant786:
Heres a solution!

Al right I have a one of 40 too. And yesterday like an idiot I reset my phone. I tried in vain but couldn't get my content back and was crestfallen. Saw your thread also, and since I may have a solution I thought i should try helping you out.

So here goes nothing and this will work only if you are lucky.

1. Connect your phone to zune.

2. go into Settings > Phone > Update

3. Say restore.

4. Cross your fingers and pray.

If it works congratulations. If it doesn't then that means Zune didn't backup properly, in which case you have a beautiful phone anyway.

Thanks thenikeman

I guess I don't have a "thanks" button yet, so I want to reply and say so myself. Until today I was using a Play Store light app and it was not as easy as having a widget. It is a bit annoying that it is 2x1 though.

I am trying to learn to develop for Android but I am not entirely sure how one goes about taking the source code for stuff like this light widget, changing it, and making an APK. I'm sure there are resources somewhere here or on the Internets in general that I will explore in the next few weeks and try to contribute.

As for my contribution to this post. I think Circle Launcher is one of the best apps you can have. I have a clear home screen with a picture on it but if you click one person;s cheek, it launches an invisible circle of useful apps :p

It's what I've been using on my Incredible for a while now. I don't actually remember which version I installed though... I downloaded both the "Sense_4_Clock_v4_White_Tapclock_ShowClock_Alarm.apk" version and the "Sense_4_clock_white_wvga_mdpi_v3.1.apk" one. I'm about 80% sure that the one I actually installed was the v4 one though (since it was the newest). Whatever the case, I don't know how it will look on the SGSIII though, since it's so much bigger. I obviously haven't tested it yet, but if someone tries it out, please let me know. I won't be getting my phone for another week :(
