[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blk_jack:
Personally I use allow purging and have KSM enabled. I've tried various combinations over the past few months with my usual setup being everything disabled, but I've heard a lot of good things from people that enable KSM so I've been doing that.

I dunno, I always have pretty good performance and I don't suffer from almost all of the issues some people seem to so who knows :)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
Just want to report that allowing purging and having KSM enabled have together resulted in better performance over time, at least for me. FWIW, prior to changing these settings, my free RAM available would go down to as low as 10-20 MB, and how it hovers around 70 MB. More subjectively (and more real-world-experience-ly), loading apps and system settings does not seem to get slower over time.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garciaomar0203:
So i read up on installing a rom. I rooted my galaxy s3 from tmobile and everthing. I tried to install DragonICS rebirth rom and everything went great. The installation and everything. So then It asked me to reboot and i did. but now it doesnt turn on. I tried to hold down lock,home,and up volume/down volume. Took off battery. I tried everything and It wont turn on. It doesn't even charge. Please help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Did you make a nandroid backup of the previous rom and can you get in recovery mode?

if yes restore the backup (ALWAYS MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF A WORKING ROM) or reflash the rom ( wipe cache, dalvikcache, data/factory reset and format system in mounts and storage), If you can`t try to get in downloadmode and flash a stock rom and reroot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
You flashed the rom on what model no? That and infact all the roms here are made for i9300
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shk1:
Sounds like you've bricked it.

Make sure the rom you are flashing supports your device model.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sak500:
Your device was/is i9300 (international) or US model? If your's was a US model than you're one of many who have flashed wrong ROM.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheesie1:
Then what is there left to do? I flashed my US SGS3 with omega 9.0... does not turn on. Does not boot at all :S

I would appreciate any help. Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sword Fish:
Omega 9 is for the I9300 only. If you can't get it to turn on, you are bricked and therefore there is nothing you can do to fix it.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Baldilocks:
I really think that the developers should warn in HUGE bright red letters on the FIRST page of every ROM, that THESE are NOT for U.S. versions of the Galaxy S III.

Really getting old seeing people bricking their phones all the time because they can't take 5 minutes to read 1) What section the are in and 2) All of the information before attempting to install ROM's.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sword Fish:
I agree. People have to learn to read before doing this stuff. Before I flashed my S2 I read stuff for a month to make sure I knew what I was doing.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcx3:
I do kind of agree with this but at the same time if you’re silly enough not to read all the info, then you deserve a brick. 9/10 roms state very clearly what the supported devices are.

It's like the fine print on a contract at the bank really.

[General Questions and Answers] MisterEz:
First of all - sorry if I've posted this is the wrong section, but there isn't a sub-forum for the particular tablet I have... a Toshiba AT300.

I've just got this device; it's fairly new and has only been on the market for a few weeks here in the UK. It's running Android 4.0.3 ICS.

The problem I have is that when setting up new accounts - Hotmail (using the app from the play store), Twitter, Dropbox, etc - the settings are stored and an entry is made within the "Settings --> Accounts & Sync" section of Android. After a little while, or if I reboot the tablet, these are automatically deleted or just disappear. This means that when I open up the specific application, I have to go through the process of re-entering all my account details from scratch. Sometimes it won't even let me do this, unless I uninstall & reinstall the application first.

I've no idea if this is either a common problem with this tablet or a wider Android issue - I'm pretty much an Android novice, & as this tablet seems fairly new there aren't many people discussing it online.

I should mention that I also have recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S3, also running ICS & with the same applications/accounts set up - it all works perfectly on this device, which makes me think that the Toshiba might be faulty, but it seems like a peculiar fault to just affects just this one device. I've tried a factory reset several times to take the tablet right back to is stock install, and the problem reoccurs each time.

I'd appreciate any help or advice. Thanks.

What is something about this phone or Android in general that you feel everyone using our phone should know?

For me, it's that while in recovery mode, you can use ADB. And if you type "adb pull /data/media SD", it will backup your "SD" storage in an "SD" folder where you adb executable is.

Need to run ODIN? Can't boot to Android? use ADB in recovery to backup your SD storage!

1. SEARCH. Search, damn it. Always search before asking questions. It's likely to have been asked a million times before. We do not need it to be asked a million and one times :p

2. Nandroids. Learn how to make 'em and why to make 'em. Could save a complete reflash.

3. Adb adn fastboot. How's and why's.

4. No toolkits. Don't use them. Learn how to do things yourself. I promise you, only good will come out of it. Toolkits can do more harm than good if you don't know what the hell you're doing.

5. Try stuff before you bash it down. Screw what others say, and just build your own opinion.

EDIT: Don't misunderstand me. I am not saying toolkits are **** or anything. They're very good, although it's better if you learn things manually. You can still use them if you like, but it's best to then know exactly what you're doing before using them.

Seriously though...people should know that using ROM Manager does not make you an expert on ROMs and flashing. Learn the real process, the language used, the potential pitfalls, appropriate fixes, and go from there. It doesn't cure the need for instant gratification, but knowing these things could save you a lot of time and money, if something goes wrong.

Hey guys.

Random post here. Can't hurt to ask.

I bought DS on sale about 2-3 months back and I've been flashing a few roms... as we do haha, and I just went to install it and argh, its not purchased? As in I have to buy it again?? WTF?? Any ideas on this?

I have one hunch. If anyone is familiar with TBu, it asks about your android ID which I don't think much of, every other bought app works so maybe, if you change your ID to a new one, on the same device mind you, you forfeit some of your purchases?? Really? No. I certainty hope not.

Thanks in advance guys, I'd be very appreciative to hear anyone's help on this. I love that game.

Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
You should be able to download it from Play Store anyway. I've seen some apps that use an activation of sorts when you start it up for the first time.

If you go to http://play.google.com do you see the app there, or maybe check your google wallet purchase history.

Thanks for your responses guys. Much appreciated.

I'm in a different part of the workr at the moment. I bought it on the other side but I didn't think that would matter. I went to the Google store and logged into the web page and downloaded it that way. There was 2 versions of DS. Weird. Has anyone seen this?

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
So unfortunatley I was stupid on my first device, and it got that dreaded emmc brick. :( So before I root and update my phone to cyanogen mod alpha 6 I want to clarify what is considered safe at the moment. I plan to do the following, and if someone could let me know if its most likely safe it would be greatly appreciated.:

(I currently am on a new Epic Touch I purchased, which is

not

rooted, on 100%

stock

out of the box)

1. Flash E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5 through Odin (will this work as a first step, or do I need to flash something else first in order to root?)

2. Through that recovery flash my Cyanogen Mod and Gapps

3. Never do anything to my phone after that without extensive reading

Should that most likely work without bricking? Thank You!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] LanceEpic:
That should work. Also, from what I've read, if you are going to wipe your phone, DO NOT use "Wipe data/Factory Reset" through an ICS recovery. That has been triggering the random emmc brick. Use "Calkulin's Format All" instead or Odin back to an EL26 kernel. Hope this helps.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
Thank you, one more question. From an out of the box phone with no custom recovery or root or anything, will it be okay to flash that CWM file I listed as the first thing that gets flashed, or do I need to flash another root package first?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nicson8:
Use sfhubs one click el29 then mobile odin el 26 kernel and flash cmod and gapps through there. Also dont flash calks format all in ics recovery either
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
New Plan, would this work and be very safe?

Take unrooted stock phone, put it into download mode, flash SPH-D710.EL29_CL852097 package found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1433101

Then flash a StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 file in Odin

Then do a Wipe/Factory Reset

Wipe Cache

Wipe Dalvik Cache

Then Flash CM9 Alpha 6 and Gapps
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nicson8:
Never used odin to flash kernels, just mobile odin cause it doesn't increase flash counter. Sounds like a good plan though
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] 2momo123:
Thanks,

is going from EL29 to EL26 considered safe since it is going down? (Im just really cautious as I bricked going from ICS to GB and although these are both GB I want to make sure its okay)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nicson8:
Yes its fine as they are both gb
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] nicson8:
Rule of thumb. Never flash ics to ics unless using one of agats safe ics repacks or mobile odin el26. Wiping data or format all in ics recovery can cause a brick.

Hello guys...I am new to this community as i recently registered to XDA...but i know maybe a bit about our phone Galaxy W GT-i8150....That could prove useful to Starters......:)

Now...mostly Users have problems with battery when they flash new ROMS....the reason is....their battery stats...for example if a person flashed a new ROM with 60% of battery....the phone will detect 60% as 100% and battery will drain quickly.....but You guys don't need to worry as i have found some ways to rectify this problem....Battery Callibration...yes u need to callibrate your battery in order to get long lasting batteries....there are some ways of doing it...most easy is through an app found in play store....Battery Callibration by NéMa...you just need to charge ur phone at 100%....and go to app and click 'Callibrate' (with charger plugged on!) ...and this will reset ur battery stats....it is recommended (not necessary) to drain out all the battery after callibration and Charge ur phone from 0% to 100% without a gap....

As i am a newbie...so i cannot post outside links...however if anyone needs to get more of it...he/she can PM me at any time and i ll try my best to help...! :)

Anymore info!!?!?!?!
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] MiguelPT:
You shouldn't uncharge your battery to 0%.

For calibrate your battery just charge it to 100%, shut down your phone, let it charge to 100% again, go to CWM, advanced, wipe battery stats, before wipe unplug USB cable.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] armyboy11b:
I realize that..I'm just confused about this battery calibration. Doesn't make a difference for me..and yes I agree I never fully discharge me phone. Bad idea
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 95Z28:
I don't know about the ROMs the op flashes, but if my battery is at 50% when I flash a new ROM it doesn't go to 100% more like between 47-50%.

Besides the fact that battery calibration has been explained away as a myth, I can also state "calibrating" battery has never increased my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] [.::MDT::.]:
Do you mean that using all of your battery (till 0% when the phone automatically turns off) is a bad idea?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Pyrotoast:
CM9 is good for daily use

I used CM9 for my daily use since alpha 3 launched. It will definitely work for your daily use. I never had any serious issues. It runs greats, my battery life with the proper settings was great. I know i used to have trouble with chrome but I think that's a thing of the past.I ended up using opera, so I never checked to see if chrome worked again or not. However, chrome is working fine on the AOKP milestone 6 Rom, so I would assume it works.

Only other thing I would say is like the other guys said, try a bunch of different Roms till you find what you like. All the devs have done a great job and as long as you have the skills to flash between different Roms I would highly recommend giving any Rom that you think looks interesting a spin for a day or so until you find your favorites.
