[General Questions and Answers] ouefcoque:
Why some apps ask permissions to access Location, Contacts, Camera, Logs, Mic, even if the dont use it or need it??
[General Questions and Answers] Theonew:
They are either malicious, being run on an older version of android, or the developer just chose to put them there (even though you think they may not be used, they actually are even though the app may not seem to need them - be cautious and aware).
[General Questions and Answers] peg20:
Either that or the developer is just lazy. They might have just ticked all the boxes to get the app working and then not bothered to go back and clean up their mess
[General Questions and Answers] pepp67:
A little long-winded but..... I like a widget on my desktop to show what is coming up on my calender. Seems simple to me but when I install the widget it informs (scares) me that it has permission to read/alter information on all my calenders, read all my contact info, and change information on my contacts calenders. Seems more than excessive to me but by searching more on these forums I'm learning:

1) Apps/widgets can require further reaching controls than I 'would like them to have' for tasks with the features I want. So I am really trusting the developer of the app to be careful with the permissions I grant them.

2) Which developers I choose to trust. Here I rely on trusting the masses and reading reviews from informed, more experienced people than I.

I have flashed leedroid extreme and tomorrow I'm going to bring the phone back to the shop for repair, what steps do I have to take to bring it back to stock?

thank you in advance!
[HTC One X] Rusty!:
Relock the bootloader and use an RUU.
[HTC One X] michael.stollaire:
Google Evo X Jewel RUU, or search the XDA forum for your handset. This will get you back to out of the box, so you can get repairs. If you are S-OFF, you will need to relock your bootloader, via HTC Dev, or the infamous "tampered with" will be on your phone. If they see that you will be SOL and FUBARED simultaneously. ;)
[HTC One X] bogfather:
There is no way to get it back to 100% stock, the best you can do is flash stock recovery, relock your bootloader with "fastboot oem lock" in fastboot then run your latest version number ruu. Your phone will be back to stock except your bootloader will say relocked instead off locked.

There's no way off changing that until we get s-off

Hi guys,

I cant decide which ROM i should put on my phone? Can you guys help me?

Which ROM can you guys recommend?

What is the most normal ROM you people put into your phones?

I am sorry I am a biiiig noob, who had a Iphone i the past 4 years.. Everything is new for me..

Can I just put on a new ROM, whotout thinking of my firmware?

Thanks a lot guys..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
There is no general "best" rom.u need to try them out yourselves.

But good roms is (themed roms)checkrom, turkbey rom,omega rom or (stock look) foxhound rom, dragonice rebirth rom..

Or try cyanogen mod 9,aokp,miui rom, that is aosp rom build from sources(Google's original)

all is flashed from cwm(clockworkmod) recovery.

download galaxy s3 toolkit to your PC then u get easy access to root, backup,cwm recovery and guide on how to flash rom to your phone..

but read, read and read.. especially the OP on every rom u want to try..

good luck and have fun..

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
Unless you flash an aosp Rom like Cyanogenmod or miui there is not much different between them. Maybe a theme change but performance and functionality is pretty much identical amongst the touch wiz based roms.

Try a few and you'll see what I mean.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeCone:
When I was on stock Xperia Gingerbread 2.3.4 on my ST17i, the average image file size I take is only playing around 300 to 600kb each However, after flashing the MiniCMSandwich Lite AOSP rom, the file sizes have been bumped to an average of 1.3mb. I want to know why? As far as I know, on both stock and MiniCMSandwich, I've set the resolution to the highest (5 megapixels).

Is it a matter of the camera apps? (Xperia camera and stock camera)

I'm also interested to know how big your average file sizes are for 5mp of images.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
If the camera apps have tweaks or there are tweaks in the media_profiles.xml file (which can easily be done), then yes, files sizes can and will change. It will also depend on the device/hardware. My HTC Aria (with a 5mp camera) takes images with sizes from 700k - 1.3mb. My Acer Iconia Tab (also with a 5mp camera) takes images anywhere from 2.5mb - 3.9mb (pictures taken on the tab are much better than the phone).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
Exactly

Accidentally sent from my Google Nexus S
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeCone:
Since I can't possibly change hardware on my phone, I'm guessing it's the media_profiles.xml itself then?

EDIT:

Upon checking my media_profiles.xml, nothing seems to be related to taking pictures at all. They just had options for video and audio. :/
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Check again. That is where all info is stored for taking pictures.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
And that is correct. If you change the first 3 values to "100" and the "2" to an "8", you'll see quite a difference in sizes.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeCone:
I see. I'll try tweaking it a bit and see how it affects things. WIll update this post after.

UPDATE:

Changing the values from 90,80,70 to 100 all and replacing 20000000 with 80000000 didn't seem to do anything at all. And at some point I even thought it kinda degraded the image quality (camera is not able to focus clearly).

UPDATE 2:

I now tried setting it as:

60,50,40 with 20000000 and the image size went to a down low of around 780kb! And the quality doesn't seem to degrade at all. Any thoughts on this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
It should have been the other way around. Have you tried making edits to your build.prop relating to the camera?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoffeeCone:
i haven't edited build.prop in any way related to images yet, the only time i edited it was when i was trying to make Google Now work on ICS but i reverted that too shortly after

I've received today my Nexus 7 and unfortunately I have the screen popping out on the left side issue.

I believe no one has found a fix yet because I've searched for one, so I propose to gather here those who have that issue.

I can't send it back, as I'm from România and I will have to wait another month to send it back.

Hi all,

I've rooted by Nexus and changed the dpi to get the Tablet UI (looks great!). But in the process (I suspect when it reset on root) changed all units to imperical rather than metric.

I've got language set as English (UK). Where can I change it so that all units are in Celsius and Kilometres rather than Fahrenheit and Miles?

Thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] best1923:
Recently the last 2 days I was not able to navigate correctly or get driving directions correctly do to GPS not locking. Now everything is fine.Been with android since day one purchasing the G1 from T-Mobile before it made it in the stores. As time gone on I have purchased the MyTouch original and I have purchased The Nexus brand having the Nexus 1 and Nexus S since launch too and will continue to purchase Nexus only. Love MY stock GSM Android Galaxy Nexus running 4.1.1 purchased from the PLAYSTORE...Never have I had a problem with GPS lock on any ANDROID Phone since the last couple of days maybe I Have just gotten all good phones.Since Jellybean has launched and I notice that UNCHECKING Google location service in Locations GPS will not Work which I believe should not work like that.I have come to the conclusion that our GPS will continue to suffer and not lock correctly or work at all if Google contiues to do whatever they are doing to keep track of what we are doing which I have no problem with.THE point is in the long run the GPS will not fuction any time GOOGLE has problems on its side. The GPS will eventually began to fuction like a application failing sometimes.. Hopefully they switch back to the option of just checking the box for using Cell Towers for location or GPS Satelites like in previous ANDROID Phones..:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ray3andrei:
I didn't experience any of this... where I am right now I have really poor connection so GPS lock on will be impossible, when I get home I'll tell you again but I don't seem to have this problem ..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] best1923:
AS of now the problem has been fixed. But , Have you had to use your GPS a couple of times in the last two days to notice this problem that was occuring.. In the questions and answers section many people had this problem there is thread on it ..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Holy run-on sentence, Batman!

Anyway, a lot of Android devices have had GPS troubles the last couple of days. I believe it was attributed to something out of our control (solar flares or something).

Hence, removing AGPS didn't allow for standalone to lock on...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
I am not sure that I understand your point that GPS isn't working properly because Google wants to track us as much as possible. Wouldn't that mean Google would make sure your GPS locks in accurately every single time for better tracking?

Um... My gps is fine when I tested it yesterday.

I wish I was important enough or interesting enough for Google to care where I was, or what I was doing. It is easy to get your mind set on some conspiracy theory, but quite frankly Google couldn't care less about us. The only thing that matters is that we keep buying there products and using there services.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
Never had a problem with my GPS on 4.1.1 Locks in 5 seconds... the Accuracy takes longer inside -> starts at 10m and goes to 5m in about 10 seconds, but immediately goes to 5m if I'm outside (cool animation of the radius circle too).

All in all very happy with the GPS as it stands now... it never bounces either like it used to in 4.0.2 and 4.0.4.

So whatever, if anything, google did to improve its accuracy, I'm all for it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
This is an ongoing developer project to make way for a modification that will entirely transform your device, but retain the aesthetics and the experience of your phone. I know you've seen tablet mode roms before, they change two lines in your build.prop file which you could easily edit yourself in seconds and maybe throw a keyboard in there to make it work better. It's a start, but this ain't enough. This thing has potential, but it is wasted the moment you try to stuff a full blown tablet into your poor phone. Yet we all know our high res phones can very well handle more than silly 1-column layouts. So the magic must be in between somewhere, a place that Google must have overlooked and left blank. Yes, this rom strives to drop your device into tablet mode, but it won't stop there, it will reshape and redefine ICS to make it all a usefull addition and not just a cute novelty. we're calling it: Hybrid Mode, best of both worlds.

20120819v1.991

Maintenance update, bugfixes and patches.

20120810v1.9.8alpha

Project butter recents in tabUI (2/2)

Quick access hybrid properties by longpressing a recent app

More refined hybrid algorithm to reveal more layout containers

TabletUI toggles

All recent cm merges (Trebuchet, googles 4.1.1 r4 with a whole bunch of fixes for memory leaks, etc)

20120806v1.9.7alpha

New option: "large" to trick an app thinking the device has a real big screen. some need it, like amazon kindle to jump into tabUI. some even react on it, gdrive will slightly adapt its layout - makes only sense if you give it a small dpi though.

The algorithm to extract the actual layout containers from apk files works more precise and can reveal more than before. there will still be a few apps left who do that layout stuff in java - we will add an override button for that, but in the meantime you can edit /system/etc/paranoid/properties.conf .layout=360 for phone-like UI, 600 for phablet, 720 = tablet, 1280 = super huge tablet

Several bugfixes from us and cm

CDMA SIM

20120723v1.9.5a - On Page 23

Finally hardware accelerated recents in TabUI, as fluid as ever. The ugly gradient is gone aswell

A clean backup properties file is shipped, you can make a full reset in the panel in case you lost it with all the settings you made

Force option can be activated in the panel, good for widget scaling

The DPI sliders in the panel read min/max props from properties.conf, define them as you like

TabUI Recents are back to a bigger size, this is temporary, i'll look for ways to port the phone implementation as project butter skipped the tabUI code

Cyanogenmod fixes

New GApps

20120723v1.9a / 1.9.1a - My edits are in RED

Newest CM10 patches (powertoggles for phoneUI, lockscreen options, etc,)

Definable number of notifications for navbar shaping

Hide clock wont cut it out of the notification center aswell

Lockscreen tutorial overlap *should* be fixed

Notificationcenter in TabUI has a draghandle like phablet and phone have

New GApps

Camera (very rough fix)

Panorama

Video Recording

Video Playback

YouTube (very rough fix) - I suggest starting out in landscape mode

Do I flash this using ODIN?

No. Use the custom recovery that's linked.

I still don't know how to install the ROM

Download the ROM, GApps, and recovery.img from the OP

Download and open the EZ recovery app from HERE

Select custom, then select the box with 3 dots... find the d2vzw_recovery.img you downloaded in step 1 part B., select flash, then Reboot Recovery

From CWM recovery, Perform a nandroid backup from the backup/restore menu

Wipe data/factory reset

Select install .zip from sd and install the rom you downloaded in step 1 part A.

Select install .zip from sd and install the gapps package you downloaded in step 1 part B.

Reboot

Thanks droidstyle

I'm in a bootloop. Help!

This is normal for now. The phone will reboot multiple times, but will get to the bootanimation and eventually boot up. Do not freak out.

Something went wrong! Can you help me?

I'd love to help you, but I need a little more information about your issue. You should provide us with information regarding what your issue causes and what you did before the issue started. However, before asking me and the community, ask yourself two simple questions:

Can I reproduce the error?

Have I looked for a solution?

If you answered "yes" to both of these questions and came up empty handed, then post it in the thread and it will be addressed. Even more helpful would be if you got a logcat. Like so:

adb logcat > logcat.txt

OR

(the better way so we dont have to keep downloading logs)

adb logcat

Paste the terminal output here (you don't need to register): http://pastebin.com/

Click "submit"

Share your link/logcat

When I use the camera the phone freezes and I have to do a battery pull...I thought it was fixed? (1.9.1a)

It is fixed. It's just a pretty hacky fix. To take a picture, you will have to tap the screen to focus the camera BEFORE taking the picture. If you just press the camera button, the phone will freeze.

Can you add *this* to the ROM?

Although I'm not obligated to add anything and everything to the ROM, I will do our best to supply your desires and live up to your expectations. Do not mistake this for a guarantee. I would like to do everything, but I may not be able to.

I'm experiencing some force closes, what gives?

Boot into recovery and fix permissions. Reboot.

This Rom looks Awesome!!! :D Thank you for all the hard work. I am a noob when it comes to ADB , does anyone have a video that shows how to install this recovery and rom. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hero:
Hopefully you already have adb installed (I'm assuming you do). You are going to want to download the recovery.img beanstown106/Team Epic has provided us with and then move it into the directory where you have adb installed (usually in "platform-tools" or "tools" in the android-sdk). Then cd to that directory using terminal or cmd (depending on your OS).

It should look something like:

cd .../Desktop/android-sdk/platform-tools

Once you do that, then enter each of the above commands (in the OP) in descending order. When it finishes, you're done.
