That's only partially correct. There might be security patches (maybe) but that's it. The app will even be removed from the Play Store later this year. So no updates to fix compatibility with new OS versions. That means no Flash on Jelly Bean.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nativestranger:
That's very bad news especially for the sgs3. Flash is very buggy on this phone and won't be fixed. When it does work the performance is amazing though. You don't even feel any slowdown when flash is enabled.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] For_itembine:
What is there reason? It's got 100 million + downloads.. people want flash. Ad a few ads or whatever to make it profitable
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nativestranger:
Most probably because google want to drop support for flash. So they stopped support in advance. Its a pity because flash works perfectly in the last 2 generations of android smartphones and provided a truly desktop internet experience. Now that android does not support flash browsing is not anymore capable than ios anymore.

Yeah lots of people will probably respond with something about html5 being gazillion time better than flash comments but you know what? html5 performance sucks even worse than flash. Youtube html 5 videos perform poorly even on my i7 desktop pc. So what if html 5 is the future? This has been repeated over and over for the past 3 years but guess what? Today flash is still the more widely used format. I want to view my content now not in the uncertain future.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KMino:
They said the same about ICS. I'd ignore the comment, the writer is probably just doing some PR to suck up to Apple.

This article compares flash vs html 5 performance. Flash came out on top. While that was back in 2010, I tested it today on my galaxy S3 and flash is still much faster than html5. 25fps vs 48fps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blueseeker:
HTML5 performance suck balls even on my Desktop. Tried all the browsers, many demos work badly. Buggy or not, flash is better right now.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nativestranger:
HTML5 videos doesn't even play on the Vimeo desktop page while flash worked perfectly.

The above is right. Upgrading our SIII to Jelly Bean = No flash.

SOLVED, SEE POST #4

Hi,

I'm trying to downgrade my hboot so I can make it S-OFF, root it and try out the Fallout rom for the Desire S.

This is the guide I'm using.

This process has raised some questions with me and I'm sure others might have these issues as well as I couldn't find any answers on these forums (or my searchskills are lacking)

I have the following questions:

Which RUU do I need for my unbranded Desire S with android 2.3.5, software version 2.10.401.8?

Where can I find the binary file for zergRush so I don't get the following error?

C:\android-rooting>adb push zergRush /data/local/tmp
cannot stat 'zergRush': No such file or directory

I want to know which RUU I need and where I can find the zergRush binary file, because it isn't here and I am unable to find a different link.

Any help is greatly appreciated

[HTC Desire S] TheHansID:
thank you both, I just finished the process and am running Fallout 4.2

I used the guide I originally went with, found someone who had the folder of files he used uploaded in a post, after hours of searching.

I've attached the files to this post for anyone who searches for it as well.

Details:

Guide:

adb and fastboot installation found here

downgrade found here

RUU:

http://www.filefactory.com/file/c09...0805U_38.03.02.11_M_release_177977_signed.exe

Android 2.3.5

Software 2.10.401.8

hboot: 2.00.0002

hope that future visitors will find it this way.

Thx again.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Firstly, rather than just saying "Thank You" - press the 'Thanks' button. That way other people get to see how helpful (and reliable) different forum members are. If you can't hit "Thanks" because you haven't got enough posts then make sure you come back later and thank them for getting you on the road.

Secondly - Fallout v4.3 is out and I would recommend that you carry out a clean wipe and install it, apparently quite a few changes.

Thirdly - Welcome to the joy of rooting and flashing (Both in a phone-based manner) :eek:
[HTC Desire S] TheHansID:
Thank you for welcoming me. I've already thanked the people that wrote the guides I used and I will thank everyone who tried to help if I can. Including you for pointing me to 4.3.0, that came out just after I downloaded the 4.0 zip and 4.2 update zip
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmo15:
OK. I installed an update to my ROM and restored apps + data to my phone and now the lock screen is stopping me from unlocking the phone. so i installed a bypass app to at least unlock my phone.

I need to either remove/reset the password so i can change it or have something to change the password.

Any help much appreciated!:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmo15:
Don't Matter Fixed it!

For those that have the problem get Screen Lock Bypass and clear settings/setting storage data on titanium or related. then restart and your password is reset/removed!

You'll have to redo your settings though which dosent really matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ruadus:
Hi Guys,

Do you know any stable themes for Galaxy Mini CM7 ROM, without any bugs???

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
You see that white text field, in the upper-right corner? With a yellow button with magnifying glass on it? Yeah? Good... type in "cm7 theme" and press that button... anyway, how in hell theme can be unstable? Logicaly thinking it can be unfinished or partially themed or whatever ... but unstable? Not compatible with ldpi phones, yes... oh, every theme for mdpi works on ldpi phones, little tip for ya... and don't get offended :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] ruadus:
:laugh::laugh::laugh:

Unstable just because when I did the "CM7 Theme", I found themes in fact, but most of theme listing some bugs; Alarm clock not showing, text in con unreadable...

So I asked, sorry if the question looks stupid :o
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
for alarm clock there's fix somewhere on xda, for other things... oO?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nicuz95:
I wanted to decompile my Jelly Bean's SystemUI.apk so i started apktool but i have some errors, why?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] anton2009:
Because APK tool isn't optimized for JB yet? Perhaps ask one of the themers around here and check how they're doing it... I recommend using these tools and looking at this thread
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nicuz95:
Thanks man, I'll take a look! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] buergi:
Sorry to pull up this quite old thread but missing optimization for JB is not the reason for your problem.

The apktool works great with all versions of Android, but one have to know how to use if properly.

As explained in apktool's wiki under the title 'FrameworkFiles' you have to grab and install the framework resources before decompiling, so the correct proceeding is

adb pull /system/app/SystemUI.apk
adb pull /system/framework/framework-res.apk
apktool if framework-res.apk
apktool d SystemUI.apk SystemUI
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobgeneric:
The best tool is Virtuous Ten Studio.

I did decompile right now my SystemUI.apk :victory:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobWoodall:
This may be a known issue, but I've found nothing through searching the forum or Google.

Running GedeROM, and everything works perfectly. Netflix plays well, but won't go full screen. When it first starts, the soft buttons are visible, as always. A few seconds in, the buttons hide, but netflix does not resize to fill the screen, so I have a half inch border around whatever is playing.

This is not a big deal but, with a seven inch screen, I'd like to be able to use as much of the screen as possible.

Is anyone else having this problem, and is there a known fix or different ROM recommendation?

Thanks in advance!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
If your having the problem of netflix only being in portrait mode try toggling the screen rotation back and forth this should allow it to rotate to landscape mode sometimes it gets a little sticky also make sure you have 180 degree rotation enabled.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RobWoodall:
Thanks, but that's not the problem. Switching from protrait to landscape IS sticky, but does work

Netflix firsts starts filling MOST of the screen, except for the bottom half inch with the Back, Home and Multitask switcher buttons visible. After 3 seconds, these buttons shrink off the screen but the picture doesn't expand to fill the space vacated by the disappearance of the soft buttons.

Works fine on the phone and other devices...

Oh, I should mention that my other devices are running variants of Gingerbread, and in one case Froyo. This may be a function of ICS.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Being that gedeRom has true fullscreen maybe there is a feature that you don't have enabled auto hide or something of that nature maybe someone would know better than I cause I don't run gede have but not presently

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] althorne:
Hi there, I'm sure you get these kinds of questions all the time, but please indulge my relative newness. I tried to use the search function; however, it kept timing out before it retrieved any results. Something wrong with my internet, I am sure.

My phone network have given me a choice between some lovely phones (turns out paying bills on time gets you in their good books!) and I am tending towards the GS 3, I was wondering if any owners could tell me if I'm making the right call or a mistake.

My choices are the new Nokia Lumia WP7, HTC One X, Galaxy S 3 and the iPhone 4S.

I like the WP7 because I use the Zune software anyway (I actually use a Zune as my main mp3 player,) but that's just about the only reason. I'm not a massive Apple fan, but if it's the superior phone I would be tempted to go for it. I've been using a Desire S for a while, so am quite used to HTC (as well as liking Sense UI quite a bit, apparently that's contraversial.) The Samsung looks really nice from the reviews I've watched, but I've heard there are some build quality problems as well as Touchwiz UI (not a fan. Apparently that's contraversial too.)

Or is it worth sticking it out for HTC's next inevitable offering?

Any help would be appreciated :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tachikoma_kun:
Go into a phone shop and ask to try each one out, prod, poke, play, stroke, drool, only you can really decide what's best for you. Don't listen to the guy in the shop, he's almost certainly going to be an Apple fanboy (aren't they always? it's bizarre!)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
Lumia - low resolution screen

HOX - poor battery life, as well as a sealed in battery

iPhone 4S - tiny screen

These are just a few areas where the S3 beats all these phones, and that's without going into software. Physically the hardware of the S3 is hands-down the best overall package, screen is great (whether it's the best is debatable), great processor, great camera, great call quality, decent speaker volume. Great audio chip inside too, if you're really into your music like me.

Any minor issues the S3 does have can be fixed NOW with custom ROMs, and/or will be fixed by Samsung later with official updates. The issues mentioned for the other phones CANNOT be fixed at all.

It's really horses for courses - I know many, many people who love their iPhones, but when I show them my S3 with a live wallpaper Facebook/Twitter/weather ticker, scrolling launcher dock with all my main used apps on it, the great photos it takes and how great they look and video looks on the AMOLED screen, and how I *Swype like a boss* (phrase stolen from another XDA user), it's written all over their faces how jealous they are.

The only possible real criticism I can level at this phone is that it's very big, and the difficulty with which you have to operate it one-handed could be a show stopper for many people. Aside from that, I think it's easily the best phone on the market right now.

EDIT: Oh and if you don't like Touchwiz then you can get rid of a lot of how it looks by using a different launcher. Or go the whole way, root and flash a vanilla Android ICS ROM. I haven't looked, but I'm sure there will be a Sense ROM floating around for it soon too, if there isn't one already :)

EDIT 2: As for build quality problems - the only prob I've heard about was the hyperglaze coating/paint job. The first handset I received had a small imperfection in the finish and I sent it right back. The replacement is perfect.

I have heard about dodgy solder connections inside the HOX which can break if the phone is knocked hard, and disable your wifi, Apparently HTC have admitted it's an issue and resolved it now, but there's still plenty of the dodgy HOXs in stores I would imagine - bit of a gamble to buy one, you might end up having to send it back much later, and that's even if HTC don't refuse you - if it's got any exterior damage from the knock/drop then they could tell you to get stuffed, even though the solder prob inside is a known issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrIwik:
I guess it really depends on what operating system you like the best. WP7, ios and android all offer different things and it really is quite subjective so the only person that can answer that is you. Now if you choose android and are trying to decide what phone you want I'm pretty sure everybody here will suggest the SGS3. For obvious reasons..

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fasty:
I also came from an HTC Desire S, just moved to the GS3.

I found some of the SenseUI a bit confusing and find the GS3 more straightforward in that respect.

The GS3 hardware is stunning, especially the GPS which is a million times better than the Desire S.

If you are used to connecting your HTC device as a USB disk drive, then you're going to miss that because the GS3 can't do it. I was dissappointed by this apparent omission at first, but after a few days I have got used to the connection method provided by Samsung and it's no big deal transferring music or videos to the device or SD card.

My GS3 apparently also synchronises contacts, calendar etc to Outlook properly using KIES, which is something that never worked properly for me with the HTC. (It annoyingly kept changing my Outlook contact name format etc)

Big thumbs-up for GS3 from me !
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] althorne:

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
I had the One X and its not a bad phone at all, but the S3 is much better:

- better battery life

- external sd card

- removable battery

- touchwizz 5 has improved a lot and seems lighter on the system than tw 4

- better cpu and gpu

- better camera

- better soundquality and volume

For me the S3 is king ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] althorne:
Thanks for all the information again, although with regard to the sound quality: HTC keep touting that they have Beats audio on their phones. I don't know much about it (I normally keep away from things Dr Dre does) but it's supposed to be pretty good, or premium at least. Is Samsung's one really better? I listen to a lot of different kinds of music (from classical to electro to black metal) but it's normally on the heavy rock/metal side. Is Samsung's better for this?

Cheers
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mwatson:
The whole "beats audio" thing is just an attempt at a branding gimmick. Bit like a perfume company recruiting Victoria Beckham to put her name to it.

Not sure it's even a good branding exercise. When was the last time Dr dre was relevant? Wasn't his last biggest tune "still dre" back in 1998.

Now if HTC had done a deal with David Guetta.. it might have caught the attention more of their target market.

In short beats audio is nothing to take into account .
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arsaw:
Choose anything except Iphone :D

WP7? Wait for another one year.

Anyway, since you have used HTC for quite some time, why not try Samsung.

[HTC One S] GerBBAR14_c:
Not a problem for me, but yeah, some will not like that too much....

I guess it's pretty stupid to make it incompatible. Why cannot they just leave it put by default and let it work with other browsers of the user chooses to download it from Play?

As I understood it, Adobe will leave the app in the store, they just won't optimize/develop it any further. And as I said in my earlier post, Google will keep developing Flash Player for Linux as a plugin for Chrome. So my guess is, that they will implement it in their Chrome-App.

Flash always sucked in perfomance and had security issues all the way. HTML5 is the way to go. We just gotta hope that more and more websites will support HTML5 instead of lame Flash Player.
[HTC One S] BiteBlaze:
Maybe flash is just integrated

Flash player is going to go away in the future anyways, it's all going towards html5. You're going to start seeing more html5 and less flash on the internet.
