Here's my way

The way I have always done it is:

1. Download and rename the recovery file to PCIMG36.zip and place it in the root directory of the sd-card.

2. Power off the phone.

3. Hold the down (or up) volume key while holding down the power button until you see the screen SUPERSONIC EVT S-OFF at the top -- or something similar.

4. Select Bootloader then select Recovery

4. Let the phone find the PCIMG36.zip file

5. Accept the update when asked

6. DO NOT reboot the phone when asked

7. When you see the recovery menu, go ahead and do a Nandroid then (3 options here) A. Connect phone to computer and choose USB-MS Toggle option, find the PCIMG36.zip file and rename or delete it ... or B. Power off phone, connect to computer and rename or delete PCIMG36.zip file ... or C. Reboot as normal, use a file manager app like Astro or ES File Explorer and find the PCIMG36.zip file ... blah blah blah. Any of those options will keep the phone from asking to update each time you boot into recovery.

Next time you reboot to recovery, you should see Amon RA. As as side note, I would highly suggest using SmelkusMod Amon RA style recovery -- especially for CM9 roms.

Hi people.

Is there any stable ICS ROM to use every day?

Ty.
[Blade General] Gokh:
No, use gb instead. All 4.0+ roms will never be fully working/stable for the blade

[Blade General] Di0g0:
Why are u saying that? I have a friend with XColdFusionX or something like that, and the rom is amazing... super fast, more than CM7.2

Ty for the opinion.
[Blade General] Gokh:
Yes its fast but your question is stability?

ofs: why i always click on "thank" on tapatalk instead of quote ><

[Blade General] Di0g0:
Yap my question is stability, but when i tested the ColdFusion seemed stable :(
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
1) search before posting

2) ColdFusionX is stable. It just has a few bugs
[Blade General] De@n:
ICS is NOT faster than GB :banghead:
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
ColdFusionX has full hardware acceleration. So yes. It's faster than gb
[Blade General] De@n:
Still don't buy it :)
[Blade General] Di0g0:
I searched, but i created this topic to get opinions from people who understand more than I.

Will ever be released CM9 (official) for blade?

You are wrong, ICS is more fluid and fast than GB.
[Blade General] CTRL+ALT+DEL:
Unless a miracle will happen (read: An ARMv6 device with ICS will be released somewhere) no.

Without OpenMAX (Video hw decoding library) we won't have an official CM9/10. Qualcomm already said no to a free build from them, so we only have to hope in some chinese low-budget ICS phone (all US/EUR phone coming up are 2.3-based or ARMv7), and that won't happen soon I think.

For stabilty/speed question, CFX/KonstaKANG/AOKPRemix have the same bug (No WiFi tether unless you use an external app, no HW decoding for H.264/XviD/DivX video (H.264 are really unplayable... less than 10fps, but XviD/DivX are fine too with software decoding), no Panorama in camera, Youtube HQ/LQ is laggy (related to the HW video decoding issue) and only works if used with 3G (I'm not sure if this one is a common issue or only a KonstaKANG one)), so if you can live with this bug, go and flash ICS. Speed is very similar between CM7 and ICS (but slower than Swedish Snow IMHO).
[Blade General] Faiz Malkani:
Op, meet the Blade ICS expert
[Blade General] Gokh:
The thing is that ics have better animations speed (thx hardware acceleration) but when you launch app or use multitasking, its very slow

[Blade General] racik198:
Hmm.. i think it's only your blade issue because on my blade is app openning faster on ICS. Also i can live with little bugs. Have CFX from 31.5 still running on my Blade and i still like it :thumbup:

[HTC One X] PCServe:
Hey guys,

I was wondering if it's possible to download the Maps from Google for some countries to use the Google Navigation without the need of a data connection. I'm driving down to Italy from Germany in a couple of weeks and would love to use Google Navigation but I don't want to pay for data roaming in Germany, Austria and Italy.

Alternatively I also have Navigon on my phone, but it seems like Navigon isn't compatible to HTC Car which I'd like to use as I am going to listen to music through my phone as well. Also tried https://play.google.com/store/apps/...CwidHcua2Vuc2hpbm4uaHRjY2FsZW5kYXJmaWx0ZXIiXQ..
[HTC One X] lombers:
You can hit the sub-menu menu (3 dot) button in google maps open and select "Make available offline". Then you simply drag the rectangle over the area you want to cache, click done and it will download what you have selected.

Not sure if there is a size limit to what you can cache, but I believe in the settings you can specify some cache options.
[HTC One X] PCServe:
I tried that, but it can only cache the size of London which is like 60 MB, if I try to select a whole country it always says "Selected area too large. Please zoom in."

I remember from my old Windows Mobile phone about 4 years ago, that it was possible to download all the maps I wanted, even whole countries.

[HTC One X] Kermagod:
You can save a country, but it will be saved in sections limited to a size similar to the one you mentioned.
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
You can cache maps for offline viewing, but unfortunately Google navigation still appears to require a data connection to work. I've tried many times to navigate in airplane mode, but doesn't work. A quick Google search revealed that many others are experiencing the same issue .
[HTC One X] nech.q:
I think there would be some potential risk by using google maps offline.:)
[HTC One X] fridgie:
Wouldn't airplane mode turn off the gps radio?
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
No.
[HTC One X] dakine:
I don't know why Google just doesn't give us proper offline navigation already. Its probably to protect the other developers. After trying all the others I think it's still the nicest nav software in form and function. When you enter a destination it does seem to cache the route but if you deviate or exit the program you are screwed. Not sure if they improved that in the latest versions though.

[HTC One X] EddyOS:
Unless they charge the existing sat nav companies will be a bit pissed if Google did that...

I recently been following AOKP of Task, but it doesn't seem to work well for me. The entire thread is turning into a **** storm and I can't keep up with 100 posts an hour to find out what I should do. I would like to just flash back to normal and keep root. What would be the best route to do this. I thought about flashing the stock rom thats stickied, but I dont want to brick my phone, so I thought I would ask first. Would it be safe to flash one of the debloated stock roms? thanks for any help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mitchdickson:
Restore the backup I'm sure you made before flashing AOKP.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] XooLoo:
I am on the same boat as the OP--well, kinda... since I haven't flashed a custom ROM yet, but I am about to; however, I'd like to have the option to restore to right before pre-flash. What is THE BEST method of backup so that EVERYTHING is back to pre-flash state? I am talking about all my accounts, apps, data, and even the location of all my icons on the screen... I am currently rooted and have Titanium Backup, but I don't know if it can do a "full" backup like I just described or not. I back up my apps and data often and I have restored them (even transferring from one device to another), but like I said, not a "full" backup/restore. I am on Verizon and have the CWM recovery by the way which does the backup but the folder date shows as 1970 or something... just an FYI in case that makes a difference for better or worse..

Thank you in advance!

What do you mean by "this" when you say this does not back up my IMEI?! Are you talking about the CWM backup? Do tell please... what does that mean really? So I may end up bricking my phone by simply restoring it back using the back up I made with CWM?! :confused: :confused:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pudge12:
Although he adds a lot of cool features, it is not stable enough yet for me to be happy using it on a consistent basis. The fact that he responds to everyone by basically telling them to go f*ck themselves doesn't make me want to waste time encouraging him to waste his. I'm going to try to flash back to a stock rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ChefAnt:
Funny how you used to were in his thread for his S2 AOKP everyday thanking him about how great he is etc etc....

people are such hypocrites around here

you can't blame a dev/rom for you shortcomings when it comes to YOU ultimately deciding to flash THEIR software. IT WAS YOUR CHOICE, he didn't hold a gun to your head and say FLASH THE F*CKING ROM. You did it! Take responsibility for your own actions!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Phalanx7621:
Don't even sweat it Chef. Task knows who he is, and doesn't need these guys or anyone else to like him. But if people keep acting this way, it may be enough for him to say f it I'm gonna stop putting my **** out. And that would suck. To those critiquing Tasks work, be a little more considerate.

All I'm saying Is that there is no known way to back up your IMEI. I lost mine and had to replace my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unleashed12:
Well yup, thats the risk you are taking everytime you flash a rom it looks like, no nandroid or even /efs backup will back your imei up. Just a gamble right now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zonly1:
Exactly my point. .:)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Nizda1:
I'm not going to instigate but you may want to start backing up efs in the future so you can restore your imei if something happens. Its pretty rudimentary stuff, that Dev who wrote illusion rom for the i9100 used to back it up for you while flashing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TEXASMADE1978:
Download HC-kTool (its free) to backup your EFS before flashing. If certain people had taken the precautions that they should have before flashing ANY rom then there would not have been a problem.

Task's & Ktoonsez AOKP is the smoothest/best rom for the SGS2 & SGS3, as well as a stable dailey driver.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] pudge12:
This is just one example (if you read my OP) about the **** storm that apparently threads easily turn to. I in no way blamed Task for a ****ty rom or anything of that sort. I stated it wasn't working well for me. Something, if you've tried to follow his thread at all, he states quite frequently; not everyone will receive the same results from his roms. In which case, if its not happening to him, he doesn't care. Which he is completely in titled to do, seeing as he's the one working his a** off on it. All I asked was the best route in which I could safely flash back to rooted stock before I just jumped into anything and brick my phone. I tried searching and couldn't find anything. Thank you for your useful contribution to my thread, I now understand that developing a rom for Task is just a fraction of the work it takes to deal with all the useless posts contributed.

If anyone else has any other suggestions, I would appreciate it. Thank you

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nismax:
We are off topic here. Lets get it clear here. You all like his work and how he he deals with people here on xda is not my problem alright. I use to be there and had his rom in my sig and fallowed his thread since day one. You all know that.

I reported issue in his s3 thread that i cant get good connection no more, and he knows i dont bs i fix my **** most of the time. He jumped on me like i did something to him, calling me troll and dutchbag for what? He is got so many faces that its not even funny. I donated to get s3 for knootz.

Im done with him and his roms. I m pretty sure he does not care. Hope none of you have to go thru trouble returning phone.

Good luck to all of you supporting him.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zonly1:
Not trying to **** storm your thread...just want to give fair warning that we do not know where the IMEI is stored at this point and if these two folks have a PROVEN back up procedure, I'm all ears as are several others.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stinkeye22:
You know, if you've followed him from day one (which you did for a while anyway) You know he's got a lot going on. Sure he can be an ass but I think I remember you came out a little sideways over there sometimes too. His work and his name shouldn't have been called out quite so loudly in this thread. The worries about getting back to stock should have been thought through before YOU flashed but I am also sure it will get handled by him or another dev that has the time. His ROM will get more stable and the sooner the flash addicts give him a break the better. Go to the mirror and say to yourself "I took a brand new phone and made a decision to flash an experimental rom knowing the developer has only had his for a few days longer than me" You signed up for the ride knowing that at some point there was a chance you might get your feelings hurt or your phone bricked. So yes, please look for the solution and leave the personalities at the door.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ChefAnt:
Once again, what you don't get is you are blaming Task because you flashed a "custom ROM." I'm pretty sure, regardless of me liking Task and his ROM, I wouldn't complain if his ROM f*cked my phone up. That is a huge risk when you flash anything, anything could happen at any time. Stop pushing the blame to others when it is your own fault you flashed something that isn't supported by AT&T. It's like saying, oh no! I didn't know smoking can lead to cancer but now I have cancer. It's a risk we take by flashing ROMs.

I didn't read the other thread. But my personal reasons for choosing this phone was updated hardware and sharp screen resolution.

I chose the evo because for a straight month the screen just flat out amazes me. My wife went the s3 route but nothing touches this screen imo

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NateN34:
Another one of these threads.....

Anyway... the S3 screen is a joke in comparison to the EVOs, unless you like oversaturation, pixely pentile display, blue tinted colors and dark black blotches on black screens. Build quality is better on the EVO, Sense destroys Touchwiz, EVO gets better battery life and it scores better in benchmarks. I could go on all day, but the EVO by far is better.

Although the S3 has far better development. Also the S3 seems to be far more popular and the EVO is the underdog.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stanglifemike:
I've been a HTC user for a while now. I had the OG Evo 4G then the Evo 3D before this, still have the 3D actually. Had the Touch, Touch Pro, and Touch Pro 2 before those. I've always been impressed with HTC build quality and Samsung has always felt cheaper. I've never really liked Samsung screens. I've definitely never liked TouchWiz!! The camera and screen played a big decision as far as hardware goes. I assume both will have excellent developers jump on board, so that really wasn't a factor for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] codexv:
I'll be honest. I have both. The HTC build quality can't be touched. Screen is a toss up, the S3 is more vibrant but not as natural. As far as the performance and features, the S3 is far superior. Absolutely no lag which I feel with the evo. I was rooted on evo with meanrom. I haven't rooted my S3 yet. Honestly, go for the S3. Cant wait to get rid of the cartoony touchwiz. Check out both, either way you won't be disappointed.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] detwa1:
Similar hardware, performance should be similar, I went for the Evo because I'm not a fan of plastic.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] morfinx:
Are you saying that your rooted EVO with MeanROM is more laggy than a stock S3? I definitely noticed that the S3 is smoother when I played with both in the Sprint store, but I was hoping ROMs will be able to fix this. I was also able to change the launcher to Apex on the S3, so it seems pretty easy to get rid of TouchWiz?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] codexv:
Correct. Even rooted the evo just can't quite match my S3. If you want performance and mods go with the s3. If build quality is your thing get the evo. As far as the screen goes, it's very subjective. The natural look of the evo is beautiful but the s3 is more I guess in your face.
