[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R1150GSA:
...between Goo Manager and Rom Manager when updating ROMs?

I guess the question is, does it make any difference which recovery you use when initializing a ROM flash?

I really like Goo Manager's simplicity, though I know it's in beta and might have some flaws. For some reason I prefer it over ROM Manager. Maybe it's because I'm getting tired of looking at ROM Manager's orange text.

I just want to make sure I'm not in jeopardy of bricking my Xoom for the sake of aesthetics.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yosterwp:
By recovery, I am guessing you mean app-that-tells-what-recovery-should-do

Well, I have never gotten GooManager to flash things for me personally, but I definitely stay away from ROM Manager. As good of a software it is, in my opinion, it just isn't recommended on the xoom because there are other non-official CWM recoveries that work better for the xoom anyways.

While Goo is still in beta, it may be just best to stick to manual flashing. It can be tedious with many zips (I flash 3 things - ROM->GAPPS->MotoWeatherClockWidget), but it is the best way of making sure you are flashing what you want, and that it gets flashed properly.

Hope that helps...

I ordered myself the matte black tpu from Diztronic.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SmokeRob:
kch ugh

Nice quick review!

I gave both of these cases a fair go. Both of them I ran with for a week. I've decided to stick with my Diztronic TPU. Honestly. both cases are great.

Both cases are easy the slip in and out of pocket. Although slightly thicker, the Cruzerlite is still very slim. Does feel like it would offer a bit more protection in a fall. Since I have never dropped a phone my deciding factor, which might seem stupid to some people, is that the clear Cruzerlite case would get dust buildup from pocket lint and you'd visually be able to see it at the edges of the case. That can easily be fixed by purchasing a non-transparent Cruzerlite case.

The Diztronic case, my only problem with is most of the case fairly slick. What gives me a good grip on the phone is the rim of the case where you put the phone through. It's a different plastic finish from the rest of the case which is much easier to grip with your fingers. I kind of prefer it that way.

Just my opinion on these two.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rault18:
thats my favorite diztronic color
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rault18:
Agreed. I think this cases are so similar but so different at the same time. Best part is that buying one of each won't hurt your pocket at all
[Galaxy S III Accessories] gm2racer:
I'll add my 2 cents even though I can't do an apples to apples comparison. I was never a fan of protective cases, I never used them with my Samsung Fascinate in the 2 years that it was my primary device. That was until the screen broke on my 3 month old SGS3.

While Samsung was repairing my phone, I did some research and decided on a Diztronic matte dark blue case. It's a great quality product. The TPU material is thin but pretty stiff and the fit on the phone is tight, removing the case causes the battery cover to get unsnapped 90% of the time. The cutouts are perfectly positioned (although I would actually prefer covered lock/power and volume buttons, read on). The matte finish actually makes the cover a little more slippery both in hand and when sitting on other surfaces, but I perfer the way the case looks. Also the case has a solid company behind it, when my case arrived, I noticed it the color was actually back and not dark blue. I emailed customer service at Diztronic and they let me know that their latest batch of dark blue covers were in fact darker than earlier batches. They sent me one from an earlier batch at no cost.

In the meantime, I acquired a CruzerLite gloss black case for my Fascinate. The TPU material is a little bit thicker and more flexible than the Diztronic. The case also fit looser than the Diztronic although there is no risk that the cover will fall off when being removed from a pocket like silicon cases. The lock/power and volume buttons are covered (raised and appears to be the same thickness as the rest of the case), but I had no issue using them. The cutouts are in the right places, but there is an extra cutout on the case on the side that does seem to have any reason for being there (maybe another phone shaped like the Fascinate has a use for it). The gloss finish is pretty sticky, especially when the phone is sitting on something smooth. I had no concerns leaving the phone sitting on the leather passenger seat in my car when driving. I would rate this case one step below Diztronic in terms of overall quailty, but will keep on using it as my Fascinate is now being used as a game system for my kids.

I also wound up buying a no-name TPU case (from Amazon) for a Pantech Burst I recently bought (from eBay). While the overall quality of the case leaves something to be desired compared to either the Diztronic or CruzerLite, it does have one feature I wish both the Diztronic and CruzerLite cases had. The lock/power and volume button on the case is covered, but the material in those locations is both raised and significantly thinner than the rest of the cover. IMHO this is the way to go for these buttons.

Hope this helps folks figure out which case to get.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Pneumatic:
I just got the Diztronic yesterday and I am quite pleased. Nice fit, nice feel, nice look. I even used the screen protector that came with it and it's not half bad. :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] arctic84:
Just dropping my 2 cents. The diztronic for the matte/clear model.. it gets rather dirty easily so if you happen to get your hands dirty regularly and need to use the phone. Just know the clear will start to change color.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hathetran:
Agree with this 100%. I used the case for 3 months then threw it away cause it got so dirty and ugly.

Any one seen any news on Miui roms for S4 Galaxy 3
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] MyronJ906:
I don't remember my source unfortunately, but I was last under the impression that private beta went our last Friday to the testers. However, that could easily be false. Regardless, SOMEONE will bring it to our phone. The One X (AT&T) has it, so it isn't a processor issue. We have CM so it isn't really a software issue either. Just need the developer to deliver and maintain it
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] alton987:

The Sprint version is definitely being worked on right now (by me and and anyone who'll listen lol) and I'm almost positive iBot is (or will be very shortly) working on the AT&T variant.
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jamin13:
Lol, I'll help if you need it. Only thing is I don't want to root until they figure out how to stop the flash counter (unless I didn't get the memo).

You got Sprint still?

If so yea it's right here

I have to exchange my SGSIII later in the afternoon today. Got some weird issues popping up from time to time and I'm still within my 14 days so I might get a new through an exchange at Best Buy

But yea I got a build almost done now actually lol. Used the international build as a base. Gotta get a hold of galent and see if I can distribute when it's donezo

[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] woshiweili:
Hate to go off topic but what is the "flash counter"? I rooted my GS3 a few days ago and although I haven't encountered any problems but I'd hate to find out I did it wrong down the road later :(
[Galaxy S III General (US Carriers)] Jamin13:
The flash counter is a counter that goes up every time a custom software is flashed to the phone through ODIN (someone correct me if I'm wrong). It can be used by carrier techs to see whether you have rooted your phone and voided your warranty.

Does anyone have a copy of a UK original stock rom? I didn't make a copy and would like to be able to flash back when needed.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
has anyone gotten good results with this? if so can you assist since there's so much clutter and outdated info on it.
[HTC Rezound] erisboxx:
Yeah, I first used it when it was included on newts one xxx Rom(has been removed in later versions) I have then extracted it off the Rom for use with other roms
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
can you provide some steps? I seem to get stumped on the extra ICS steps such as the su binary, starter zip,etc
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
Assuming you have root, run the script in script manager. It will walk right through it. If you're on a deodex ICS ROM, it will make the edits for you. If not, its easier to us the bullet proof apps option on the launcher.

Sent from my Business ICS Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] dyetheskin:
what about the ics extra steps? stuff like changing su binaries, possible starter kit, also seen something for extra boost for deodexed roms. there's also something about patching services.jar to get the full effect before the optional deodexed boost
[HTC Rezound] LunaticSerenade:
The only thing I've bothered with is editing the services.jar file. Not sure on the rest of it...or if you even need it.

Most, if not all, custom ICS ROMs have SuperSU, which seems to work just fine.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapscallion16:
I'm not all that savvy at rooting and messing with Androids. I have a rooted Inspire 4G, but the Nexus 7 is a whole different beast. Some of the methods and things I need to do are kind of confusing, and was hoping I could get some help on my most burning questions.

1. What is the best/safest/most reliable way to root the Nexus 7 at the moment? (I have the latest OTA update JR003D)

2. I have many games that I would like to keep the data for. Is there any way to root my Nexus 7 without wiping the tablet entirely? If necessary, what is the best way to back up app data or the entire tablet?

3. Is there any way I can root my device so that I can still receive OTA updates safely without losing root, or at least be able to get root back easily?

If there's some good answers, hopefully other people can benefit from this too. ^.^
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
1/2. I used this toolkit. Since most ways that root also have you unlock when you do that it will wipe the device. So if you have stuff on /sdcard Id suggest backing it up to your computer and copy over afterword.

3. If you want to stay OTA and keep root, then you will need to flash the stock recovery back (if you use that toolkit since it flashes Clockwork for you) and use voodoo ota rootkeeper. You can do this by

Download ota rootkeeper and backup your root

Download the system image from here

Extract the recovery.img and stick it in your fastboot folder

boot into fastboot and type fastboot erase recovery

type fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

wait for flash

type fastboot reboot-bootloader

reboot the tab, system update then go back into voodoo and restore root and done!! You can then reflash CWM if you want to go custom again in the future, but keep in mind you need to be on stock recovery to take OTA.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movieaddict:
u should of just rooted it right out of box so u wouldnt have to lose any data etc... because u havent done anything on it yet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
yeah thats what I did. Saves the hassle.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny8:
Hi, and thanks for your instructions. They are very clear.

Do you recommend that I (typical owner) leave my stock recovery image in place for day-to-day use and switch to CWM only when I desire to reflash? How do you do it? Also, should I make a nandroid backup(s) or is that kind of a waste on my 8GB Nexus?

I am familiar with CWM for flashing and backing up (to rem. SD card) for my phone.

I'd like to ensure I'll receive notifications about Nexus 7 updates. At least for a while or until I decide on a custom ROM. If ever.

Again, many thanks.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoHaunted:
I just followed the 1.5.2 tool kit to unlock, root and install CWM onto my N7.I would like to remove CWM and replace the stock recovery for OTA updates. I followed your instructions and extracted recovery.img from the nakasi JRN84D image. I installed the android SDk and the 4.1 toolkit but I cannot find the fastboot folder, I found the fastboot exceuter but no fastboot folder in sight.

Any tips?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
You want it in the folder with fastboot.exe. On my PC this is in platform-tools
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danny8:
Hi SoHaunted. I haven't heard any reply to my own questions so maybe this thread has been buried in the deluge of Nexus 7 topics.

You might want to go to the Nexus 7 Development forum and look at the topic regarding Nexus Root Toolkit v1.5. It is a Windows program that really helps with the different rooting tasks. It installed CWM for me. I also used it to update to a newer version of CWM.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SoHaunted:
thanks thats what I needed to know :). 1 more thing, does the N7 have to be in bootloader mode before executing fastboot.exe or can it be on?

That's the program I used to obtain root and install CWM, What I want to do is remove CWM and replace it with the stock recovery for future OTA updates as I do not plan on installing any roms or kernels at this time, Stock JB is good for me:).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
It needs to be in the screen with the Android where it lists the info on the bottom and says start with the green arrow, after holding the volume buttons and power.

That method I posted was how to flash the stock recovery back to take OTA. If you are familiar with how to use CWM since you flashed it might as well just stick with it. Really only want to stay stock if you want the OTA's then just use rootkeeper

Personally I am loving Firefox, infinitely better then those when it comes to browsing experience (smoothness plus pinch zoom).

Also u can install the plug in 'full screen' to play older Flash in full screen (if u try to go full screen, the browser will crash on older flash videos) so u still get the full screen effect :)
[Nexus 7 General] thevuman:

No. They didn't. Adobe announced it well before the preorder. They announced it in November 2011. On 6/29, they made it official that it would not be avaible for 4.1.
[Nexus 7 General] T33H00:
Thanks for all suggestion!

It is 7 inch tablet but surely it is smaller with all the buttons on the screen. I love the stock browser because the full screen browsing with the quick control. I know I can get the flash to work but not full functional like the 4.0 does. thats what I'm complaining. I wished the tablet has the original android stock browser and full flash support, it would be better than now.

otherwise, everything is just great.

[Nexus 7 General] evonc:
Regardless of support, a simple search would have answered your issue of chrome not supporting flash natively. if installing an apk manually and using a different browser is really that big of a chore and hurdle for you then you shouldn't be using a nexus device period.

I'm aware of that vague announcement that doesn't mention a cut off date nor 4.1.

90% of the public didn't even know about it, but whatever makes you feel like you proved a point.

No. Wait to experience the device for yourself and see what you think of it. At the launch of any device, forums are always flooded with complaints because everyone who has a problem runs and posts a thread about it while everyone who's enjoying the device doesn't say anything. Odds are the vast majority of people that have already received their Nexus 7 don't have any problem with it. The only way to know is to see for yourself.
