[Motorola Droid 3] mohlsen8:
Hi - Haven't seen any other threads on it, maybe because it's a stupid question, but I wanted to ask if most everyone has taken the update to 906, or if anyone is still hanging out on 890? I have my D3 on 890 with the 906 system. Back when I flashed the 906 system, I did notice the camera was faster (one of the changes in the change log for 906) but I still get random reboots here and there and lately I've been wondering if I should just SBF and take the update itself so I get the updated kernel and baseband as well, but I really don't like that it's a one-way-street. Has everyone who still has the phone moved on to 906 and is it worth it--will I notice more of a difference than where I'm at right now with just the 906 system? Are all the ROMs compatible with the newer kernel? I am still running stock, but I do like keeping my options open so that is probably my biggest concern.

I'm pretty sure I could easily take a nandroid, save it elsewhere, SBF and do the update, and then reroot and restore my nandroid and all should be peachy as I have it now, but with the newer kernel & baseband. Should I?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
I think you'll find most people have upgraded. There is an 890 SBF with enough bits of 906 to permit its use, essentially bringing you back to what you have now. Or, go the safe route as I do - SBF 890, perform the OTA upgrade and use Safestrap to protect your original system while you tinker.
[Motorola Droid 3] mohlsen8:
Thanks for the reply. I'm not worried so much about ability to SBF.. it looks like that 906 SBF that was put together works pretty well for most people. Just was concerned that I could be missing out on some good ROMs if I do upgrade, such as ones that haven't been updated (or won't be) to the 906 base. That and if I'd be gaining anything noticeable from the kernel/baseband upgrade, over just having the system as I do now.
[Motorola Droid 3] Phibernaut:
Overall performance seems a bit zippier with 906 and I've been able to use any ROM through Safestrap. Not sure if flashing direct with CWM would be any different.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovelayer:
I would say there are minor noticable changes with .906

if I had to say yes or no I would take the plundge :D

sence alot of the roms now use the .906 system files your phone being on the .906 ota would help things move more smoothly
[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I am keeping my phone on 890 because from what I've heard things just work better like with the 883 radio stuff. I am running MavROM which is based off of 906 so I do get better battery life.
[Motorola Droid 3] mohlsen8:
Thanks for the responses. I guess I'm leaning more toward taking the upgrade.. why not I guess at this point. Any other 890 holdouts around with an opinion?
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
Ok I haven't exactly found an answer for this so I'm asking. First Why do people say we won't get a fully functional ICS/JB Rom port if HTC doesn't give us ICS?

The reason I would like to know this is merely because I have a Samsung captivate, it has ICS(fully functional), and Samsung never released ICS for it. I know that its different hardware and manufacturer, but wouldn't the same concept apply to all devices?

If not please explain why the same concept doesn't apply here.

Thanks.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Reinaldo33897:
There are some really great ics roms out here and desirehd forum. They just have very minor issues which don't bother me at all. The issue here I noticed is that no matter what the devs give is the users will never be satified and will always complain about something whether this or that or not getting this or that. As far as I'm concerned I have a fully functional ics rom thanks to LC and Exists( hope its spell correctly)lol and a few other devs here.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
It doesn't apply here because its hardware is 90% the same as the nexus s and that got ICS source a long time ago. We don't have a similar nexus device like that so it is more difficult .
[HTC Inspire 4G] playerjunglejosh:
So I have another question...considering the HTC incredible s got ICS will that help them port ICS to the Inspire 4G/ Desire HD considering Its very identical?
[HTC Inspire 4G] Nick281051:
I'm not sure, I think once source is released it is a possibility but I'm not positive so don't quote me on that.

Hey all

Is there a way to replace all the stock icons with another off the market? for example I love Matte ADW icon pack but everytime i restart my phone it will change back to the deafult icons. So im basically asking is there a file i need to swap with the matte apk. to have them as my icons forever? :)
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesicnik1:
Move the theme to the phone storage, it resets to default because SD card apps get loaded later.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacGyver Jack:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adub:
Hello,

I'm new to Android and have a few questions I was not able to completely answer through my own internet research. I have a Galaxy SIII unrooted and would preferably like to keep it that way. However, now, after copying anything in any app, that app crashes. I've seen the only way to fix this is to delete the contents of the /data/clipboard app and, as far as I can tell, the phone has to be rooted to be able to do so. If I root my phone, will my homescreen organization change? Is there any way to make a complete backup of all data, including system files and settings, so that once rooted, I don't have to reorganize my homescreen and app directory again as well as change all of the settings in each app? In other words, can we make a complete, standstill recovery image that includes everything (including app data and homescreen organization) on an unrooted phone that can be used to recover the phone once rooted?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gadgetz:
You can root your phone and it wont be visibly noticeable from your non-rooted rom on ur phone now. You wont even lose any data during the process of rooting so everything will be the same.

I also had that copy/paste issue.....I fixed it by flashing the stock/rooted/deodexed rom, problem solved ever since.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adub:
Thank you for the response. Two more questions - did your way of rooting that didn't change the homescreen/app settings/anything else involve one of the two following ways?:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27772176

Also, which of the two previous methods is

a) safer in that it doesn't trip "the counter"

b) doesn't change the homescreen/app settings/anything else?

Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gadgetz:
Yep, I rooted and installed via mrRobinson's method...then started having issues with copy/paste, and also wanted to be able to flash mods but that required deodexing so I decided to flash the stock/rooted/deodexed ROM from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1749961

Again, no wipe needed so all data and settings retained, nothing looked any different than it did the day I got the phone and all functionality remained intact and most importantly, no more copy/paste issues either. mrRobinson's method would be the way to go as it doesn't trip the counter and won't change anything as far as how your phone is setup.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] adub:
All is well, and all of my settings are the same as before. I rooted via mrRobinson's method and don't have any problems. Using root explorer, I deleted the contents of the /data/clipboard folder and now have copy/paste functionality back. Additionally, I replaced the Google Quick Search Box in /system/app folder and now have universal search back. Feels great to be rooted - thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] s1mpd1ddy:

i did that, and then it didnt work, but for some reason now it works. so. yay
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PacoBell:
So you're saying there's a TW ROM that fixes the clipboard bug permanently while still maintaining its functionality? How does it do this? Did the dev hack in a ClipboardManager replacement? Or is /data/clipboard just set chmod -w?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] slking1989:
Ok so I so I have suffered from authentication errors and ridiculously poor WiFi range since I rooted my phone. Or most probably since I flashed a custom Rom (omega) for the first time..

Now, after endless research and lots of trial and error (or as I say, terror) I have finally found a solution. Although this is NOT and ideal solution, it solved my problem. Not being able to use WiFi at work when I'm only around 7 meters from the server is an absolute no no for me! Especially twinned with the frustration of 30 attempts to authenticate and still having 70 odd % signal and yet no connectivity.

So here goes..

For me.. disabling power saving mode via *#0011# did NOT work.

Nor did flashing back to stock without root.

Flashing cm9 did NOT work.

Flashing stock did Not work. And full cwm wipe didn't work either. And all other combinations.

So by hard work, research into other threads, Lots of terror and pure luck. I fixed my problem.

Apologies if this does not work for you.. but if u Have simular problems to me. I'm sure it will work. So follow these steps

1. back up via android. Copy backup to pc if u try this and it doesn't work u cant go back to before. Also backup and apps or pics music etc to pc.

2. Download latest stock Rom with root

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1704185

Thanks to wanam!

3. full Wipe, wipe cache partition, wipe dalvik cache. Flash latest wanam stock Rom. And repeat the wiping in recovery again. Full, cache and dalvik. Fix permissions.

4. Now reboot. And test if u still have the problem. As I did still. If not... yay you!

5. Do a hard reset. Yes a factory reset. NOT a full wipe via recovery. A reset via settings/backup and wipe/factory personal data reset. WARNING by doing this you will lose all app settings. All android backups and all data on internal storage. I believe this will also leave your ext sd contents unusable so ALWAYS backup to pc!

6. Repeat steps 3 and 4 again. This made my WiFi range and connectivity problems

Disappear! Although I still had authentication errors

7.Then repeat step 5 and see your outcome. It's seems for me atleast, that a double wipe was necessary. I'm not sure about you guys.

I hope this works for you all!

Thank me if it did or If I've helped in anyway!

Happy to answer questions! Noob or not.

Thanks to JJE and d4seeker for there effort in trying to help me!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Gabeloooooo:

I put a stock Rom and rooted. Since then I got WiFi problems.then I flashed again the Stock Rom but I didn't root and it seems to work fine. Once after I've read your post I'm thinking about getting root again but maybe I'll wait to see if I have now OTA upgrades or I haven't (i wouldn't like to loss them ;).
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] slking1989:
Ok so I still have authentication errors. But only very few. And it's not affecting me. Seems strange that I am stock and I've reset. Must be faulty hardware. Surely. It's much better than before. Very usable. But still occasional errors. Someone must know more about this...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] xezi:
Hi,

I also got problems similar to yours, I believe.

I always flashed ROMs from sam mobile. Since the 1st one after the original, I was bound to use the #*0011# workaround.

I believe after I flashed CM11 recently wifi didnt behave ok anymore.

Then I wiped everything a lot of times (not as you suggested though), installed a lot of ROMs,

but wifi only connects within a certain range from the router.

There are a lot of glitches to that, as you may have noticed as well. For instance, the 1st time

you associate to a network, usually it connects straight away. After that, it's a nightmare.

But one thing that made me believe this is a rom/kernel/root issue, is this: you try and fail to

connect. Go to the service screen via #*0011#. The wifi module/process don't know the tech term,

is unable to show the bssid or even the ssid, although any play app can. That is very very odd.

Also, in this scenario sometimes when you can connect, #*0011# info is weird, like rssi -200,

speed -1Mbps, did you see those numbers too?

All in all, I don't think your solution is far fetched, it could really be needed multiple wipes and all.

I'm still trying another regions ROMs, like 4.3 Switzerland, and I plan to downgrade until something better happens.

Thing is, I already flashed the -original- ROM, which was ICS, but wifi was not ok. That is what

put me on defcon 1... :eek: lol...

Well, good luck for us...

cheers,

Xezi

Sadly, I know not to drop shiny new objects but unfortunately I dropped my nexus 7. Thankfully the screen is perfectly fine but I have chipped the silver bezel. Has anyone had any experience with any touch up products?

It may be the case that I could find a cheap nail varnish that would do the job but I do like the idea of trying something tailored for the job.

Any thoughts would be great.

Edit: I have chipped my dell xps which is a similar colour and also the handle to my fridge. I could buy in bulk as I probably will continue to use it.
