Well I'm afraid the kernel I used won't be compatible with the phone, isn't that right?

I'm sorry I'm new to this
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
If you want to unroot all you have to do is go to www.sammobile.com and download the stock firmware and flash through Odin. You will get your stock Kernel back. So don't worry, try some aftermarket kernels :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pelpa87:
if it isn't compatible, the phone won't turn on, or pass the Samsunggalaxy GT-I9100 screen. so don't be afraid. just in case, and to be safe, if your phone is working OK right now, you should make a nandroid backup in CWMR (volumeup+home button+power button). and then you can mess with anything you want (except stock kernels made from 9 of july of 2012 to now) and there will be almost no problems :)

you can try any kernel...not every kernel works fine in terms of battery life and hardware manage. even though is the one that came with your custom rom. the same is for modem(baseband)

Anyone know how to get ##prl# to work with sense 3.6? Gets old nandroiding back to a GB Rom, ect. Tried all the old epst.apk's but no luck. For whatever reason...qpst can't find my port on ics either. :(
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
I'm wondering this too. I was really hoping the stock Sprint ICS would have this ability. I don't use the Verizon PRL all the time, but about 2 hours a day I work in an area where I NEED data, and sprint has nothing. I too am annoyed having to take 20 minutes to nandroid back to a GB rom.
[HTC EVO 3D] SketchyStunts:
Yea, this has been a question of mine since running 3.6 since may. Been trying things, reading, searching, ect so I'd figure I'd finally ask.

its mainly with sms apps like handcent and go sms. although handcent tried to fix it they made it much worse and the frequency of which the led blinks is very slow. my question now is does anyone know of a good led control program or anyway to fix the led to make it blink regularly
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Crisisx1:
Light flow from the play store. Has a lot of options. Hope this helps. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lokichim:
tried it already sorry forgot to mention i tried all the led programs in market and none worked. they showed a diffrent color from which i set and it wouldnt blink with light flow it would stay solid until i deactivated it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elracing21:
Has anyone played with the hex #'s to figure out at least the basic colors? I've been able tlbmske red, white, and some pinkish color on go SMS using the hex sliders but since the colors don't match anything its like a guessing/trial and error game.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lokichim:
llol then you see what i mean. neither handcent nor go sms does the led correctly. handncent doesnt even let you choose a color anymore just to try and fix it with s3. ive tried all combonations of the sliders and market apps none of them work correctly with s3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elracing21:
I've done my research and it seems the led drivers and such on the two gs3 are screwed up. This is something Samsung has to fix with the next update. For now we are left with the random colors lol. It's annoying I know.

On go SMS I was able to create purple, green, red, yellow, and white. A long with some pinkish color. Other than that this Sucks haha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lowg:
Yes, there is a bug with the US GS3s. I wasn't able to get any third party to blink but you can use this list for now to get the color you want.

Light flow developers are working on a solution for their app but will require root access looks like it is in beta now.

good to know light flow is trying to fix and im rooted so no problem there.

Launchers:

Simply put the best launchers are:

they all have a free and paid version. I own the paid of NOVA, ADW, AND APEX and love all three of them. They are my top three at least. Go launcher has entirely too many add-ons for me it makes my brain hurt but it is a top launcher.

MUSIC AND RINGTONES

Streaming:

Pandora & Slacker

. No need for any others honestly. Both now have ads but are awesome. They use a lot of data so be warned.

Also Spotify now allows streaming...haven't tested or used but always heard good things about it. :thumbup:

DatPiff if you like hiphop and streaming mixtapes.

Ringtones

: these apps can make ringtones out of any mp3 file you have.

Ringdroid

Mp3 Ringtone Maker

Zedge

Music Players:

N7 Music Player

: a different twist in style. Cool look can be difficult to navigate but love it.

Apollo & Walkman

: Both are clean, simple, and awesome. My two usual suspects for playing music.

Realplayer

: Used this for years for music. Still love the interface and simplicity but the rom I use came with walkman and past had apollo and I havent looked back

Google Play

: kinda obvious

Music Identifiers:

Google Ears Googles music identifier. It is shazaam but by google. Don't have a link if someone wants to P.M. me with one I would appreciate it :laugh::good:

Soundhound I bought the full version for .99cents and haven't looked back yet from shazam. Mainly because it is paid for and offers more features than a free shazam,

Shazam I know the paid version is amazing. Lyrics, links, downloads etc. It is worth it to have all three of these cool apps that are the first of its kind.

Movies and Video:

Movie apps:

RunPee: tells you times to pee during a movie. Also tells whether to watch the credits or not. Useful if you go to a theater. It tells you when to pee and not only that but it gives you the exact situation to read while you are peeing so when you get back you know what happened. Also indicates when you should run and pee or get a snack/drink by telling you the exact line to leave at. MUST HAVE even if you go to the movies once in a while. I love this app.

Video Players:

I use MVideo and Mx to play movies on my note.

I like MX better because it has swype controls and its convenient. Also delivers a crisp picture :victory:

As far as watching movies I use Netflix, hulu+.

For movie info IMDB, Flixster, and Moviefone are the most useful I have found.

Note apps:

Quicknotes

Color Crayon

Smemo

SKITCH

All are useful SPen compatible and useful if running AOKP or

AOCP

Sports Apps:

Widgets and score updates/ News

Sportscaster

: Widgets useful

Espn Scorecenter

: widgets useful

Edmondo

: Another widget. I use all three and love them all.

NOTE: All allow you to pick your favorite sports and teams so you are not being bombarded with useless information about the team you hate.

These all are apps I use for Fantasy football and Sports news alike

:

Flipboard

B/R Stream

Scoremobile

Edmondo Sports

For ski reports: Ski&Snow reports.

FOR WATCHING LOVE SPORTS ON THE GO:

WATCH LIVE SPORTS:

It is a free app in the market ans super awesome for streaming games live. For any sport. I love it when I work on Sundays during NFL season

Hey all-

I upgraded to stock ICS when Kies informed me of the update. It was a bad idea... horrible battery life - I went from about 22 hours to 7 hours if I'm lucky. It's so bad I went out and purchased an extended battery just to get through the day.

I've been watching and searching the forums for a while, but I've had trouble finding instructions on how to get back -- I'm even OK getting into a custom ICS rom. I am vulnerable to the brick bug, so I've been a little hesitant there as well.

Anyway... just hoping someone can point me to a thread on how to do it. I'm sure it exists, but my searching hasn't really found me anything definitive (or at least definitive that I was able to identify).

Thanks!

Yes. Don't wipe using the stock ICS kernel. Once you flash back to GB it should be fine.

-Edit- It seems voodoo Sim unlock tool is temporarily removed from Playstore, keep an eye on it though, it will be back because it is beeing updated for newer firmwares.

For now call your provider and ask for the sim unlocking key.

You can also unlock your phone here http://www.sammobile.com/unlock/index.php?phone=I9300 , it costs 15 euro (creditcard or paypal) and you need to be rooted before the unlock.

Shouldnt happen, make sure you

Wipe Data, and cache

, before the nandroid backup and after the nandroid backup.

only then u can flash the firmware.sbf

if the bootmenu still comes up simply choose "Boot-> set default-> normal". and reboot.

if still comes back to bootmenu (and i hope you are talking about bootmenu and not bootloader). install through custom recovery your favorite ROM and don't forget the corresponding Kernel.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpchopper:
OK, banging my head against a wall here; I have 2 defy's. Mine has been to a war zone 4 times, I've replaced the screen (and the waterproof gasket) once, It's broken (the case) but still works except for the fact that the last time I had to flash an sbf I messed up the charging ability with the "macguyver" method.

Now I recently got a pristine looking red lens defy from a friend who said it wasn't booting...It "tried" but never stayed booted long. I tried immediately flashing one of the fixed sbf's with CM10 on it, and ever since I get the bootloader 09.10 code corrupt message.

I've tried the method listed here (by the way the first firmware in OP won't download for me, something about violating some terms of agreement?) the one labeled simply "firmware" downloaded.

Still no joy. Every flash I get all the way through code group 32 checksums match. Everything after that fails. Have tried multiple CEE, Nordic, Chinese, even Defy+ sbf (the new defy has red lens) with no luck.

Likewise when I tried flashing via linux (sbf_flash). The other night after battery out for quite awhile it led me to believe it had started working, and allowed me to get into recovery and wipe everything, but it was all false hope. It still did not boot (motorola M boot loop) and likewise, it still did not flash.

Anyone have any ideas how I can proceed to fix this thing?

I thought I had this thing figured out but obviously I was mistaken.

thanks in advance

I just unbricked my phone again yesterday after trying the latest cm10 sbf with no luck, so i can guarantee this method still works, however the firmware.sbf file is really needed and also the nandroid backup, so here's what i'll do:

2. I'll clean the the first message and update the links

so check back in about an hour
