Ok ive searched for a while and cant find anything so lets see if any of you can answer this...

Can the custom recovery used affect whether or not certain roms boot or not?

Ex... like you flash a custom rom in TWRP and no boot then flash same rom in cwm and it does or vise versa???
[Off-topic] mtdew:
No it shouldn't matter unless there's some crazy scripting that one supports that the other doesn't.

I can't speak for TWRP now but a while back yes. Keep in mind TWRP was a WIP, specifically on i897. Not saying it's the case however not unheard of.

Well I ask because I have no trouble with some roms but a couple of roms known to boot fine wont boot on my s3. Im using a modded twrp with exfat support....
[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
And if you use CWM recovery it boots up fine? I only owned my S3 for about 3 months, great phone, but the "quality" between devices was amazingly horrible. As in some devices would just not work with x or y kernel etc. I know no 2 devices are the same but the difference between them was a lot. I would test CWM and see if it works fine. Might want to consider formating/wipping caches and/or system before flash manually if you haven't. Could be something simple like twrp not being able to recognize some bits of the scrip and all it needs is manual wipping.
[Off-topic] garydv2002:
Well it wasnt cwm because it did the same thing with it. And your right even though the devices are supposed to be the same there are huge differences in them on the s3. I did a logcat and get two errors but scratching my head as what they mean...

1. E:/dalvickm (11975): ERROR: couldn't find native method.

2. E:/ACDB-LOADER (11972) ERROR: ACDB retuned =-8

Power button stuck again. This time it's not looking good. Haven't been able to turn it on since Saturday night. Back to the trusty old Captivate for me. Interesting how some things on this phone are actually faster. But overall it's much slower. Probably because it hasn't been used in a year.
[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
Have you tried taking your SR apart and trying to clean the power button with compressed air? Also a repair service over at mobile tech videos is about $30+ shipping. If you know how to solder the power button is like $5 on ebay (cheap Chinese crap but better than a dead button). As for your cappy load up a AOSP rom and live oc it 120% (you will probably need to bump up the voltage by +.50mV). Its generally smooth but ya single core can't ask for much more. I can run mine at 128% with that voltage.

[Off-topic] plwalsh88:
No I haven't gotten around to trying to take it apart. I was planning on going to talk to our AT&T rep first. She's a family friend. And if there was nothing she could do, then I would try that. And no I actually don't know how to solder. I wish I did though.

Thanks for the advice on my cappy. I was hoping you'd say something actually since I know you dev for it. I'll try that out. The last thing I did to this phone was update it to the official GB and then flash the corn kernel I think. My other captivate is still running Andromeda, as it has been all its life haha.

The live OC take a while to dial it in, each device is different. Both kernels available have the option to wipe those settings in recovery just in case you get stuck in a loop.

Question for you guys: where would you go to find a decent desktop tower computer? Mine's fine--it's an HP Pavilion Elite bought in 2009 with an i7 chipset and a 1GB (if not slightly larger) graphics card. My wife's, however, is a crippled monster built in 2006. It runs reasonably well, but it's got an old-as-dung Pentium D chipset that can't even handle Minecraft. We went to Best Buy, but they only had a single Asus tower (which, honestly, didn't look that great in terms of specs) and a handful of HP, Gateway and Dell machines. I won't touch any of those brands--I've never had a Gateway or Dell that worked properly, and HP is really hit-or-miss in terms of quality these days. Minecraft is probably the only thing she'll be playing, but I want to get her a decent tower with an Ivy Bridge i5/i7, a decent graphics card and 6-8GB of RAM.

Are there any chain stores left that sell much in the way of towers from decent brands, or do I have to go the online custom-build route?
[Off-topic] hechoen:
I'm sure you could find one in box store somewhere. Amazon is always my go to option but I live in a town that's pretty small. lol Custom built will be the cheapest option though for sure. There's always Craigslist as well. Man, now I want a new comp.

TJ if you dont mind ordering one online Wal-Mart has a great selection on their website and you can purchase it online and have it shipped to your local store for pickup. Ive been shopping for one to since my desktop was bought in 2006. Its an acer still works great and came from Wal-Mart, but since ive started development of android roms and things ive quickly outgrown the hard drive size especially with the movies and things I download. As far as product brand acer has been really good so far and ive owned a couple of dells that were solid stable machines. Ive also built many as well and it used to be cheaper to go that route but now its about 50/50 either way

I am so sad. :(

Turns out I am going to switch out on my skyrocket earlier then I want to... I left my phone in my shoe, I ran 7 miles on the track, my friends brother grabbed my phone when I left it on top of my book bag, I was putting on my shoes. I didn't want to let him use it or touch it at all. However, for some reason my life long friend and unfortunately it is apparently genetic, they (Him and his small bro) have the tendency to grab your stuff without asking or saying "Let me see your phone" then he gives it back to you with a dead battery and all their Facebook and tweeter accounts logged in...

I am the one to wash my hands before I touch my phone and then they give it to me with oil all over it. Well he grabbed my phone and started to try to guess my password therefore he got to the screen where you see the password login dots but you can't do nothing with them it just says wait 10 seconds. He grabbed a rock and used it to put the f##$-#-$* pass in. OMG! But my dad grew up knowing his mom and dad, I grew up knowing him and met his bro when he was new born so I really can't tell them anything. He is almost family so when he makes me mad I can't fight with him, now I have an annoying scratch on my phone. I also have an upgrade and I can't stand the scratch plus I don't feel like wasting my upgrade on another Skyrocket... What phone should I go for? I really don't feel like an S3, my dad has it and I dislike the design and it will remember me about this... :(
[Off-topic] T.J. Bender:
Note 2. I swear by mine. If not a Note 2, then consider buying a cheap-o refurb outright (even a Captivate off of Craigslist) and waiting for the Xperia Z or S4.

I wouldn't personally buy an S3 at this point. As great of a phone as it is, it's still expensive, and it's currently one press release away from obsolete.
[Off-topic] prbassplayer:
Good on contract devices on AT&T contract? SGS3 and Note II, HTC One whatever. Thats about it. Optimus G is basically a Nexus 4 (better because of LTE and extSD) but no dev as locked bootloaders (afaik).Theres rumors that AT&T is bringing in a Oppo Find 5, which assuming its not locked down looks like a great device. Apart from that duno, I stay away from Moto devices and LG in general (Nexus 4 is exception). Development is usually best on Samsung and HTC devices, just my 2 cents

Edit: Crap I forgot about Sony. AT&T's Sony line sucks, however with the companies push for openes its a ok device. But to be honest their quality scares me. I've see $500-$600 devices look like cheap, flimsy, squeeky plastic, and this is coming from a long time Samsung user....
[Off-topic] ActionMax09:
I definitely stay away from Moto phones. That is the thing, my teacher had the Droid 3 before he had a Nexus and Moto really goes out of their way to stop consumers from rooting. I would consider an HTC One but I carrier unlocked my friends Vivid (Skyrockets nemesis! When they first came out they came out together.) I had to do so many things and the you have to do a thing called S-OFF a complete waist of time. Too hard just to flash a ROM. The LG Optimus was one of the phone that came in mind. Problem is the boot loader..

Note 2 is what I was thinking as well, my friend has one and it looks nicer then the S3 even thou they look almost identical. However I am not too wiling to pay $300 for a phone with contract because I don't personally work. I have college coming up and if it weren't because i am getting a full ride for running I probably would not even get to study. I am a first generation and things have been very tough for us. But I have OCD when it come to my stuff because my parent work the arse off at work so I can have thus things and then crap like this happens. (It probably doesn't help that I flash a new ROM on a daily basis.) I am considering other then Sammy because I want something with better build quality thou, not a plastic Poly carbonate make even thou the note 2 is nice.

Also Sony TL is a kraft dual core with 1gb of ram and it's like $50 with renewal I believe. Not the best and greatest but decent specs for $50. Just saying if you want to not spend to much on it.

If you can scrounge it up at all, the Note 2 is worth every penny. I saved up and dropped $700 on one off-contract, and it was worth it. It has literally replaced my Skyrocket, my iPad and my laptop on personal trips (even some business), and it's replaced my Skyrocket and iPad on business.

If not a Note 2, then maybe at HTC One. I really wouldn't buy an S3 right now, and I avoid Motorla and LG (Lousy Garbage) at all costs. Even if the Nexus 4 wasn't LG, I wouldn't touch it. Too many compromises made in the design phase.

Of course, you could always get an iPhart 5... :p
[Off-topic] ActionMax09:
I definitely will spend $200, I just got a scratch at a bad time I guess. If it would have been a little later and the S4 was out I would probably buy it in a heartbeat. I like the recommendations thou, a Sony phone (Might must wait for the waterproof one) Or the Optimus, I also like the Note 2. But perhaps if I got it on sale that exact day, HTC One X + is $200 and 64GB hard disc..that's what I will be getting just thought about it.

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 PM ----------

As funky as it sounds. I would get an iSh*t 5, iPhones need credit where it is due. Great build quality and you know you are going to get the newest OS upgrade. Meanwhile, maybe they will take a turn and make their stuff more like android. You just never know, in the other hand. Google could stop Android development all together when we least expect it because they make more cash from iOS....

It was the smaller kid... Their are other stuff going on to that it would be the best thing not to charge him and he is also 1st generation and his parent are having issues finding a job etc. His cousin (He is not related to me), once broke my sun glasses but that's out of the issue I just thought of sharing. Then I bought a Screen protector and body protector. I couldn't get the back cover off (hard plastic) because it was an iPod with the back invisi shield protector (it added thickness and grip) and my dad told me let him (my friend) do it. I refused, and I refused, and i refused some more, and then i gave him the face like its mine. My dad grabbed it from my hands and gave it to my friend. (We are very close, unfortunately he is almost family) I knew exactly what was going to happen next. My friend pilled the screen and body protector and he got the job done lol!!!. However, it was a zagg invizi shield ($25.) From that day on I knew he was missing some screws... my dad later confirmed that their definitely was something wrong with him... at the end my dad felt sorry for me because I did stuff like wash a neighbors car for that money and it was the first thing I ever saved up for (the iPod which is still in good state and no scratches.) He later bought me the screen protector and the back to cover the aluminum back. I bought a soft silicon Instead of putting the harder plastic case on it. Lol :D
