Do you have CWM installed on your phone ? If you do not read this : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1340526

If you do instruction how to flash are in every OP of specific rom thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RabidSmurf:
All of the ROMs will have detailed step by step instructions for how to flash, and you should follow those. But in my experience, it's usually flash ROM then flash radio immediately before rebooting.

Make sure you use the touch version of CWM, when I flashed from GB to ICS I had soft brick (boot looping) problems and it turned out to be that non touch CWM does not properly clear the cache.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
Is there anybody that is currently using the TWC TV app on their nook? I'm using the one that allows it to be run on rooted devices http://www.droid-life.com/2012/04/1...ut-streaming-tv-unavailable-for-rooted-users/ on my HP Touchpad. It works great. When I try it on the nook running ICS (2 different nooks with 2 different CM9s), it keeps telling me that the channel is unavailable. On one of them I loaded up chainfire in case it was a display issue but there's still a problem.

I'm curious if this is something that is a no go on the nook.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NapalmDawn:
I think this was a no-go because of the hardware acceleration. Shame TWC says it only has video under ICS.

THIS THREAD IS GENERAL DISCUSSION ABOUT CHECKROM FEEL FREE TO TALK ABOUT ANYTHING YOU WANT ABOUT CHECKROM

I just noticed that the CheckROM thread is now completely closed and I believe it was closed inappropriately. The reason it was closed was due to off topic banter. Well that off topic banter had been going on for 3 months and the thread was never closed. 24 hours after I made a certain post they decide to close the thread. LOL how obvious can you get. If you would like to continue discussion where it finished then start reading from the link provided and enjoy. Return back here if you would like to further comment as a believe closure was premature Start reading from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27659026#post27659026

I would like to point out that they have already released 2 ICS ROMs for the SGS 3 http://checkrom.com/threads/gt-i9300-xxlf6-4-0-4-checkrom-evohd™-v2.822/

I would also like to point out that I have never even made a single post on the CheckROM website since I have been a registered donating member but somehow when I went to log in today I have this message CheckROM - Error

You have been banned.

What have I done wrong on checkrom.com? The answer is NOTHING. I was a regular donating member and I was banned without warning, I haven't even made 1 post there. Just because I have evidence proving they have lied on XDA doesn't mean they have the right to ban me from their site. (Don't say otherwise until you have read the links thoroughly!) It's easy to keep licking their bums to look "cool" to them or the users but I have something called EVIDENCE and FACTS. So before you try to cry in here saying they don't owe anybody anything. READ what I have said. I do agree that devs can come and go as they please. This has nothing to do with that. Leomar and GadgetCheck have both broken their words and promises which could quite easily not have been made. It's easier to tell the truth than to keep a lie going. I guess that's what separates the men from the boys

Did I hit a nerve guys? No doubt this thread will get closed.

If you have an issue with someone resolve it via PM.

XDA is not a place to air your dirty laundry in public.

Closed before teh drama....
[Galaxy S II General] conantroutman:
Apparently this was not clear enough...........

First of all, this "general discussion" thread is nothing more than a thinly veiled excuse for you to rant about the fact that this particular ROM is not being updated as quickly as you would like and/or because the developers have decided to focus on a newer device over the SGSII. That is their decision, deal with it.

As for the problem with checkrom.com, that's a checkrom.com issue not an XDA-Developers issue. Take it up via the proper channels. (Hint, XDA is not the proper channel)

As I said before, if you have an issue with somebody, resolve it via PM. Due to the way you have chosen to word the OP this thread would only lead to you being flamed and we wouldn't want that now would we?.

This is a development forum, not a place for gossip and idle chit chat.

These are the grounds upon which I stand, consider yourself proven wrong.

I appreciate that you're a little miffed so here's a particularly adorable kitten to cheer you up. Have a nice day.

Been looking at the threads couldn't find the answer wats the smoothest from for u guys I'm running cm9 rc1 with trinity no under clock or over clock with nova prime and its a lil choppy at times. I'm coming over from atrix just got this on friday

I would homie but I heard there's some bugs to work out anything besides that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irizwan:
Been running JB since 2 days i havn't found any bugs yet for me it's smoother with the stock kernel =D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] resynx:
How do you think franco's kernel compares to the stock kernel?

Few app incompatibilities and the volume seems lower than usual.. nothing too major and that won't be fixed shortly.

Smoother w/ the stock kernel compared to what other kernels?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyhook:
I would like some devs to comment on this just to clear up some issues, but I am reading that these JB kernels are basically just shots in the dark and real improvement over stock cannot occur until JB source is released. I would like to see lively discussion about this, with benchmarks, stability reports, and other comparisons between these kernels and stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] irizwan:
Franco nightly 210 ... now back to ICS+Franco r200 compared to JB it feels choppy LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HS™:
Smoothest Rom

1,

I would say use AOKP milestone 5 with franco kernal which i find the smoothest and has many added features.

2, Apply JellyBean with some new added features added from google,Plus its super smooth though there some apps not working which will be fixed with new updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] msedek:
milestone 5 its and old piece of software... And not smooth at all... so

at OP if you want ics smooth get rascream sandwich and trinity kernel or even smoother jelly bean with franco kernel
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JuanDaDon86:
What about skank its pretty smooth so far does it get better :)

[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
I have rooted my HTC One X and want to copy files in /system/xbin folder. My phone shows S-ON. And Eclipse is not able to copy files to /system and adb push from shell is also not working. Is there a way I can copy files to /system/xbin?

I am running stock ROM.

My phone is NOT associated with any vendor.
[HTC One X] realunited123:
adb remount

adb push filename /system/xbin

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] treebill:
You can also use es file explorer and go into the options tick up to root and the request root and then tick mount as r/w.

Then just move files as you will.
[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
The above way does not seem to work. Whenever I use adb remount(or adb mount) it says operation not permitted and I am trying to this from root privileges

My OS is :- Ubuntu 12.04

ADB(platform-tools) -> Rev 20

If you need anything more please ask me :).
[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
Additional Question

First of all thanx it worked. I think I will have to live with this way :( A ADB/Eclipse based would have been cool

Will the files moved from SDcard to phones root in anyway lose and privileges(like losing executable)? If yes, please suggest a way to restore it. :confused:
[HTC One X] realunited123:
When doing adb shell su do you get any toast notification on your phone? Or does it just say denied ?

Strange it works perfectly here :confused: Also are you using SuperSU or any other superuser app?

---------- Post added at 03:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

Yes you need to change the permissions after moving from sdcard. Use Root Explorer(Long press on the file--> Change permissions)
[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
I am using SuperSU as Super User App. And I think I am doing something wrong here. You mentioned about adb shell su. I think I might be wrong here. Here is how I tried to execute the command.

root@compname: <path to platformtools> ./adb remount

remount failed: Operation not permitted

do I have to raise ADB shell to SU level. If yes, how?

:confused:
[HTC One X] realunited123:
Strange. Are you using the stock kernel ? If that is the case then it does not have insecure adbd (ro.secure=0) so remount will not work. Try a custom kernel.

Does adb has SU permissions from recovery ? Try booting into recovery, mounting the system partitions and try to push something from adb. Check the SuperSU app to update binary but that should not be a problem.
[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
Yes I have rooted the phone but the ROM is stock(I was thinking to put in CM9 Alpha).

About the second thing. I know how to boot my phone into recovery(Vol Down + Power -> From Screen -> Recovery(ClockwerkMod))

But about the rest I don't know.

Sorry about my annoying questions this is my first time I am dealing with rooting and stuff. :)
[HTC One X] realunited123:
I guess you are using stock kernel then. Try franco's or faux's kernel.

adb remount wont work from os on stock boot.img.

After rebooting into recovery go to mounts and storage-->mount /system and then push something from adb. See if that works.
[HTC One X] nis-gens:
I think this app does exactly what you want :) :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1687590
[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
Well this didn't work either. I hope to switch to some other ROM in future(I hate HTC Sense :P ). But as of now Root Explorer did the job. I mounted my sdcard and copied files to it and used Root Explorer to move files to /system and then changed permissions.

Thanks for help it really made it easy :).
[HTC One X] NikMel:
make sure your path devs are oke for su.

in terminal run:

sudo su

adb kill-server

adb devices

you should see your HOX HTxxxxx nr.

and here you should be able to connect eclipse to HOX by adb.
[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
The problem was not accessing the device using ADB. The problem was I was not able to write to root system. ES Explorer and Root Explorer both did the job for me. I will be putting the final instructions for the process(detailed ones) soon.
[HTC One X] KillerTheLord:
Instructions onw how to copy files to root file system on HTC One X with S-ON

1) Unlock and Root your phone. Follow instructions below

So I went and bought the Mugen 3900mAh Extended Battery for CDMA version (LTE) and love it, the battery life is awesome.

Here in lies the problem.. the back cover is ugly and is useless as ****

-1st the kick-stand is retarded; why would I want to use this trash and its flimsy as hell

-2nd the back cover takes up useless space thus making the phone look like a 'whale' (which I don't mind but wont fit any case :mad:)

So any solution? I have tried the Trexcell TPU Cover Case and it was close to fitting but the back cover but looks like its made out of too much plastic. Is there a cover that will fit the 3900mAh battery or a case that will fit the 'whale' coverback?

I did try the phone without the back cover with the Trexcell and it fits very good so could I use it without the cover? Is that dangerous?

Ideas?

try clearing cache\dalvik aswell

I m not sure if this helps but you can simply try rebooting your device after celecting the language. You can also do the factory reset and try changing the language again but then you must have your backup copy somewhere.

Hi everyone!

I manage all my music in iTunes on my Mac and transfer it to my devices with iSyncr, which is a great app. However, in iTunes i use the album artist field a lot (e.g. artist: Eminem feat. Dr. Dre, album artist: Eminem).

This causes a problem in most Android music players as they don't read the album artist tag and make my artist list way too long and unreadable. Currently I'm using Google Play Music player which does in fact support the album artist tag. But i would love to use the stock music player on the Galaxy Tab 2 because of the shortcut dock on the standard launcher.

Mostly I'm just curious about why some players support the album artist field why others doesn't. Also, I have searched and searched about this without finding a lot of useful information. Am I the only one who gets annoyed by this? Anyone else having trouble with music tagging at all?

Thanks for any feedback! :)

So there's no confusion, I'm looking for recommendations.

So my faithful Rhodium has stopped functioning (screen won't come on) and I'm not sure I want to put any more effort into it. I'm looking for a Verizon slider phone (Android), and want to know what your recomendations are. I know the pickings are slim because apparently people such as my self who enjoy a full keyboard don't exist. The Motorola Droids are Okay, but I'd like to know what else is out there. So, it's gotta be Android, and either be Verizon, or able to be successfully flashed over to Verizon, and a slider. Solid XDA support is always a plus too, but you can't have everything.
