I agree that titanium is a must for any rooted user. Backup everything but try to only restore "missing apps with data" as it's system data that causes trouble.

A second recommendation, SMS backup+ It backs up your SMS autoamtically to Gmail labels - which is handy because restoring SMS in Titanium is 1) Cumbersome and 2) Dodgy, due to not separating the system data for SMS from the messages. It can also backup call logs. This would save you buying Mybackup IMHO

A "factory reset" already wipes /cache and dalvik cache. You don't need to wipe them again. I never format system but sometimes it can be worth while, but usually a ROM's updater-script would format /system anyway

Yes, I solve it. I'm using the dialer (secphone.apk) from Turkbey's ROM which has removed the banding and centered the name and phone number of the caller..

It was too complicated for me to modify it.

Turkbey make also JB ROMs not only ICS. You can try the secphone/apk from his latest JB ROM and see how it is.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Didact74:
Okay so I have a Sandisk 64gb sdxc and it works in my GS3 just fine as exfat. However, I would like to format it to fat32 so I can take full advantage of CWM and accessing my SD card. I have tried the following:

-CMD promt format to fat32 in windows and it formatted fine, but SG3 woud report as damaged SD card.

-Format to fat32 with swissknife and it formatted fine, but SG3 woud report as damaged SD card.

-Format with E4GT but the E4GT would not even recognize the 64GB card regardless of how it was formatted.

-Format in my Xoom but it would also not recognize the card.

So what is my solution here? Is there a way to format this card in FAT32 and use it in my GS3 or do I need to just deal with Exfat until the CM team develops an exfat compatible CWM?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Didact74:
If i format it to FAT32 then go directly into CWM it recognizes the card but when I boot up it still gives and SD card damaged error. Guess i will just have to deal with no CWM access if I use the 64gb card.

exactly my experience. fat32 format the phone reads it occasionally and then starts to report it as damaged.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Didact74:

So i check around the internet and found this. If you cant see the firmware content when selecting your ftf files. I found that by opening the ftf files using 7zip and deleting the for me it is the R800i_4.0.2.A.0.42_Generic_UK file inside then try to check whether the firmware content can be seen.

After deleting the file, the content can be seen. But i didnt try to flash it as i fear something might go wrong and hard bricked my phone. Anybody can test it out?

Idea from : lynxdog. ( I just played around the ftf folder to test it out whether can see the firmware content. )

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurofenplus:
As you have discovered the .ftf is simply a compressed file using a different file extension. The .sln files are also simply .img so you can use fastboot to flash these as required. I found that the UK generic 2.3.4 ftf file refused to decompress and be processed by flashtool so I manually extracted/unzipped the files and used fastboot to flash the kernel/system/userdata .sln to achieve what I wanted.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
Same as the ICS Beta firmware i guess. As it came in a form of .img file instead of .ftf. file.:p So this firmware (uk generic 2.3.4) is only avail for unlock bootloader user. Bump!!!:o
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurofenplus:
I'll check but it is a signed kernel and should flash just fine on a locked bootloader. I'll test it later this afternoon and confirm.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
If the .img file can be compile to be an .ftf file mybe u should try the Ics beta. If it can mybe it can flash on a locked bootloader as-well.:p If....:D
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurofenplus:
The flashtool has an option under advance menu called bundle creation. I haven't used it but I'm guessing you point it at a folder with the collection of files (system, kernel etc...) and it does the rest.

That's okay, I found it though, but I have no idea how to work with the IMG files, as in, can't convert them into a group of .SIN_FILE_SET files to make them work with the Flash Tool bundle creator. So that won't work, because as far as I know, converting IMG to SIN isn't possible.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AthrunIJ:
Too many unknown words and language.... =.=, actually i post this to hlp some user who experience what i experience. the ftf files not showing firmware content and as a result cant flash it. so, basically, open the ftf files using 7zip or anything. then delete the file that has the same name as the ftf file itself. close the 'open archive' then voila working ftf file. then just follow the guide on using flashtool to flash. :), learn it from many guys. And my utmost gratitude to the ppl who hlp. :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdojoin:
Its already a diff discussion.:p Lol:D So it dont matter. If we cant flash this .ftf then just move on with a diff .ftf. No biggie.:p
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nurofenplus:
The decrypt function in flashtool uses the temporary files that the official sony ericcson update tool creates in the background when upgrading your device. From these files flashtool extracts data and partition info etc... and generates the .sin files.

The bundle function then collects these files and creates a single .ftf file. So, I flashed the UK 2.3.3 and then relocked my bootloader (se update tool will not work with an unlocked bootloader). I then ran the sony update tool and let it download the latest 2.3.4 firmware and saved the files to another location.

Opened flashtool, ran the decrypt function using the folder I saved the se files to then the bundle function to create the ftf. I was able to successfully flash the new ftf file without issues. Anyway, probably a flashtool tutorial around somewhere.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] brandonfish:
Have you tried to get into recovery? If not, you should try by powering phone off, then hold power, volume up, and volume down buttons at the same time until the phone vibrates, then let go. This should take you to fastboot mode. Use the volume keys to select "Recovery" and press the power button. Do a full wipe and restore a backup if you can. If not, flash another rom if you have one. If not, try to reflash the original zip.

Also remember, if you can get into fastboot mode, you can flash a stock image and start from scratch.

Good luck. Lemme know how it goes, or if you have any more questions. Don't panic, you should be fine.

[Off-topic] PoorCollegeGuy:
This is my exact set up. Here's how it works.

What goes on the SSD?

OS (Windows 7 boots in like 10 seconds, amazing) and Applications (photoshop, steam, steam games, MS visual studio, MS Office, etc). My applications get the benefit of running off a lightning fast SSD which makes them all faster to open and easier to work with.

What goes on the HDD?

Music, movies, small applets (i.e. my hard drive partitioning tool), apps that don't require a lot of performance (in my case, Android SDK...as I just use it for ADB, fastboot, etc on my Windows computer). This is where my torrent downloads go, my Android stuff (ROMs, kernels, toolkits, etc) goes here and all my programs are defaulted to set the HDD as their default path when downloading something.

The reason:

Price. In most cases, the storage outweighs the programs. In my case, OS and Applications take up only about 75-80GB, give or take. My storage, on the other hand, is a mammoth 400GB. So, in reality, I only need a hard drive that's 128GB to keep my applications on because they fit on a drive that size. Then I get the much bigger, albeit much slower, hard drive for all the files, music, video, etc. Since things like movies, videos, etc aren't typically bottlenecked by slower hard drives, then you don't need the faster speed when accessing those files.

TL;DR In short, why buy a 500GB SSD (which is INSANELY expensive) when you can get 128GB of SSD space for what you need it for and 1TB for the rest at but a fraction of the cost.

Hope I helped. I love this set up...my only regret is that I didn't spend a month, save up and go for double the space :)

And to others for security really if you know how to manage your sh*t together this isn't a problem. And gaming on XP is the best because it barely uses any resources. Most Stable OS yet.

180$ isn't cheap, i have money and still fro a graphics card that's just ridiculous and dont get me started i know the prices for all of that even the 7970 which are 400-600$ range. if not the GTX 690 700-1000$ range.

5870 Cost way more dude your looking into to the 200$ ranges where as the 6870 is closer to mid 150-200$.

Your Point? No one uses that amount anyways. Realistically people use 4,6,8,10,12,16 and some 32GB of Ram but the most common is 8GB or 16GB. My point is Windows XP can run anything highend or lowend and still be smooth, uses little to none resources.

http://home.comcast.net/~SupportCD/XPRequirements.html

I mean 64MB of Ram for minimum, and 128MB for x64 bit version.

Whereas 7 requires atleast 2GB for x64 bit version.

Cpus don't even get me started.

That was my whole point XP requires bare bones, runs smooth, most stable, Best for gaming.

[Off-topic] PoorCollegeGuy:
To be perfectly honest, this really isn't a cogent argument. Video games have their own specifications. For Diablo III, you need 1GB of RAM minimum, 1.5GB if you're on Vista/7. Let's be honest here, how many people even run a gaming rig with 1GB of RAM? No one. So even if you're argument has merit, it's unrealistic because, as you stated, the most common configurations are 4, 8, and 16GB. This means that what is considered "normal" has evolved to the point where you no longer need to worry about the difference between, at least for Diablo III, 500MB of RAM. People simply don't push their specs that much anymore.

Not saying you're wrong, just saying your argument is outdated. If you're running a machine with 512MB, 1GB, or 2GB of RAM, you're not using that machine as a gaming rig. And those that do are a vast minority and cannot be argued with the majority :)
