[Galaxy 3 General] GraphiX2004:
hiya, well i am new to the forums been learning a lot and found out a lot of weird things about this phone.

Yesterday downgraded wifes HTC Wildfire HBOOTs, Firmware, Rooted it, and Installed ClockWorkMod and cygenMod7

so i am fairly confident when it comes to using recovery mod so decided to try and see what i can do on my galaxy 3

--

i have my stock ROM (rooted) and just how i like it, the only thing i want to be-able to do now is just put ClockWorkMod

on my phone, so if anything goes wrong i can just restore via the bootloader.

Read a lot today and decided the best way to go is to just flash the kernel that includes CWM

and the install method for this i read was to boot into recovery and install the kernel from the SD card.

On booting into the recovery (power home volume up/down together) there is an option that says

"Apply SDcard update.zip"

do i rename the kernel to update.zip? or will it see the kernel file?.

i did try clicking this update.zip just to see what it would say but it give me this message.

---

Finding Update Package

E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 (or null)

(no such file or directory)

E: Can't mount SDCARD:Update.zip installation Aborted

----

Now is there something i am missing? does this mean i cannot flash the kernel to another one

Grrr all i want is to just get clockworkmod recovery on this phone nothing else and its just seeming impossible

does this now mean i have to use ODIN the magical Mystical Tool that everyone knows about but doesn't have a clue where it come from?

or is there some other way to get this kernel onto this phone

i don't want to try the other options wipe data factory reset to see if the options are in there?

Sorry if this sounds dumb just i have no clue what this Apply sdcard:update.zip is or meant to be for

and if thats not how to update the kernel i don't see any other options to install a file from the SD card!

it's frustating now any help advice would be great even if someone could explain more about what this option does?
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
You have to use odin
[Galaxy 3 General] MicroGeek:
Download the G3MOD kernel and flash it via Odin. Search on this forum and you'll find Odin as well as the ops file for our phone and a guide on how to use odin.

Click thanks if I helped. (:
[Galaxy 3 General] GraphiX2004:
saying oh you'll have to use odin isn't really helpful

something like explaining any fatal flaws when using odin that you might know about would be helpful.

example do i tick protect ops? when flashing the kernel? or is that just for ROMS

some really in depth information would be really helpful and grateful not only to me but anyone else who's looking to do this.
[Galaxy 3 General] MicroGeek:
You're over complicating it. There is a guide on how to use Odin on our forum so read that. You flash a kernel the same way you flash a ROM and there's not much risk. Yes you do protect ops. The process of flashing takes approximately 5-10 seconds for a kernel then your phone reboots. Just relax and do it. After you've done it once you'll be able to do it a million times.

Edit: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372414 << here is the tutorial.

Click thanks if I helped. (:
[Galaxy 3 General] simbawimba:
well you could easily have just read the sticky topics explaining all the different things about our phone including how to flash using Odin.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
"You have to use odin" pretty much answered all of your questions since it did answer one and made all the rest irrelevant. You wrote all that text and all those questions yet you couldn't have written three little words ("If so, how?") after asking if you needed to use odin? You never made it seem as though you would need help if the answer was that you had to use odin, so dont shame me if I chose not to waste words when answering your post, which I did do. If I wasn't helpful the reason isn't because I was cheap on words, its because your post didn't require anything more than what I wrote (even if you did).
[Galaxy 3 General] GraphiX2004:
no worries thanks anyway 12 hours it was driving me nuts trying to just simply get clockworkmod on this phone.

in the end i decided to opt for a popular rom here (which will be donating after this post) the guys rom does everything i needed.

i made a post about odin 117 views but not a reply.. since this thread seems to be a little active

in simplyfied terms where on earth does this odin come from? everyone knows about it uses it but who makes it?

is there an official downloads page, their must be something otherwise how would people know when newer versions come out?

again donkey sorry i snarked, yes i looked into the guide it was great! followed everything and i now have a lovely G3Mod rom installed.
[Galaxy 3 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
Samsung made it, however there is no official download page since it is leaked software. It probably not intended for the general public, but I dont think Samsung minds that it gets out. AFAIK samsung uses it/used it internally.

No problem about the snarking, I understand what its like to be a noob, every has been a noob, but I do know what its like to be a person who tries to help noobs.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinopantat:
i just installing omega rom to my samsung galaxy s3 it appear that the version of the omega is V11.1.

it seem that my phone got lag when swiping/scrolling left to right during home screen and got little bit of lag during apps screen or widget screen.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast78:
Do factory reset and full wipe,wipe cache wipe dalvik cache from CWM menu,and the lag will gone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dinopantat:
after attempting what u said

still has lil bit of lag in the homes screen when scrolling left/right
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kit:
I think its due to the customized launcher, try replacing it with stock touchwiz launcher :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fast78:
Go to settings-developer options-window animation scale-make it to 0.5 or off,then transmition animation scale-make it again to 0.5 or off....

That should help
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] newdevo:
Does anyone know what the files from http://opensource.samsung.com/ are?

Can you build the stock rom that way? It doesn't seem like you can, i downloaded it and tried to build it following the instructions but i didn't have much luck

did anyone else try to compile it?

the readme file

1. Get android open source.
: version info - Android gingerbread 2.3.3
( Download site : http://source.android.com )

2. Overwrite files that you want to build.
[...]
3. Add the following lines at the end of build/target/board/generic/BoardConfig.mk
[...]

4. make
- ./build.sh user
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] coolsandie:
First of all, you are in the wrong section. All questions should go to Q&A section.

Secondly, that site is only for Kernel Source codes I believe (Correct me if I'm wrong) and I guess, you won't get their ROM source codes.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] newdevo:
sorry for posting in the wrong section

i'm not sure it's just the kernel, there;s also a platform archive there

the platform folder contains convincing folders
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] hrk:
The platform folder contains a small subset of the ROM, in fact the instructions instruct you to download the official source code from source.android.com. There isn't any proprietary Samsung software (i.e.: Touchwiz).

With those files you should be able to compile a pure AOSP ROM without Google proprietary apps (Play Store, GTalk, ...).
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] newdevo:
well i am definitely interested in compiling a pure aosp rom that will run on my samsung, i tried it multiple times by those instructions but haven't had much luck :(
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
It seems to be common advice that you need to full wipe when flashing a new ROM, particularly if it's from a new base or dev.

However, HTC don't require this when they issue their OTA's, so is it really necessary?

What's been your experience when you've updated but not wiped? Did you experience any issues or not?
[HTC One X] Hunt3r.j2:
HTC doesn't require a wipe when they issue OTAs because they've specifically tailored the update to be able to do a bug free install on top of the existing ROM. However, it is still possible for them to have people that have bugs that arise from this, in which case the answer is either factory reset or ruu.
[HTC One X] neovalkyr:
Its all up in the air, sometimes it works fine, other times ii'll have random errors like having no carrier service just recently. Thank god for apps like titanium backup which makes having to fullwipe not so bad.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egyptshun:
So I have a scratch right across the lense and I think its bringing in unwanted light like the light will streak in lines ruining the lines what can I do? I don't want to send my phone back because its rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imranb_001:
Unroot it and send it back. Its the best option. U cant open it urself.dont give it to other to repair it as it will void ur warranty. Best bet sammy care
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lakaspalay:
as imranb said. send it to sammy care or do a warranty claim.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egyptshun:
okay sounds good guys, I just hope I can restore the custom from fully through kies or something bc I took out some apps
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] brndnddge:
I have been looking around the Google Play store and noticed that PNC Banks offer a Virtual Wallet Tablet APP. I currently use PNC's virtual wallet for my android cell phone and love it. I went to download and it is not compatible with the N7. I don't plan on side loading a banking app. I was wondering if anyone else has found the APK. file for PNC's virtual wallet tablet APP and have side loaded it. If you could post your response, that would be great.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] biohazrd51:
Why not copy it from your phone over to the N7? Or am I missing something here.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] lightninbug:
Lol true that! :D
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] brndnddge:
Not that easy

There are two different version of the Virtual Wallet.

1. Virtual Wallet - works on cell phones and tablets

2. Virtual Wallet Tablet - tablets only

I cannot download virtual wallet tablet because it says both devices are not compatible with this app. I was wondering if someone had leaked the APK as I cannot find it. I contacted PNC and they stated that the APK currently didn't support the nexus 7.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jik saw:
hi guys

i posted this thread in here because its more like a discussion :D

so any way

i know that the galaxy nexus is different in the storage thing

u have the full 16GB storage for both apps and media unlike the S2 ( for example ) as there is 2GB only for apps and the rest for the media

any way , my internal storage was almost full when i installed Asphalt 7 iam left with only 650MB and its good cuz i dont need any free space at all :D ( i like it to be fulled :P lol )

after 2 days when i woke up i saw in the notification bar "storage is running out " so i didnt care cuz i didnt install any thing nor copy any thing to the device

and i thought it might be a bug after couple of hours will be gone but if didnt and last night i installed some apps via play store and they didnt install because there is insufficient space while there is over 450MB free

its so annoying and it gets to my nerves

why do i have enough space but at the same time i cant do any thing with it cuz all i get is insufficient storage X_X

so is there any way to disable this notification or to edit system lib to get over this or any thing ??

thread is open for discussion
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jik saw:
uppppppppppppp
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] maliceomalice:
Maybe some cache are taking up the space. I use app 2 sd to remove cache generated by apps. Give that a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jik saw:
iam not talking about cache files i clean them every while ( i use SD made pro )

iam talking about free space u cant use in ur Gnexus

try to full the storage to be left of with less than 400MB and try to install an app or download a game data and see what will happened
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gokpog:
You already said it, I'm pretty shure it's about /sdcard being part of the /data partition. Your phone can use the last ~500 MB, you just can't use it to add more userdata. Otherwise you could run into serious issues if suddenly there would be no more space on /data at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jik saw:
so you are saying that i can use this space as a media data only and there is mo need to edit or change any thing

ok thanks

[Trophy General] RoboBush:
I am presently using a HTC Trophy from Verizon running Tango (firmware version: 2305.13.30202.605) and would like to know how I would go about using custom notification sounds for recieving messages/texts. I know next to nothing about unlocking/other things like that with Windows Phone.
[Trophy General] Lockett:
Unfortunately you cannot use custom tones for text messages, only for ringtones and alarms. There may be a way to do it if you dev unlock the phone which you can find out how to do by reading through the Development section.
[Trophy General] KennyKen:
I believe you have to download a 3rd party application from the marketplace or htc application hub to do this. The windows ringtone settings will not let you have your own tones (stupid i know)
[Trophy General] TheXev:
I'm not sure about specific ways to add custom ring tones other then cooking a rom, but if you are interested on custom roms for your Verizon Trophy, read this guide I wrote on how to install HSPL (it explains everything you need to know).

In the mean time, I'll try to dig up some information you might need. I don't know if there are any official apps that support adding custom ring tones, etc, since Microsoft locked that stuff down tight.

*edit* oh wow.. uh.. its actually pretty easy to do, no HSPL/custom rom required. Just need Zune and to sync the phone. Read the official Microsoft guide here.
[Networking] Kumabjorn:
I have a router that accepts a connection to a USB HDD. Right now I access that HDD through PointShare on my computer. But I am thinking of getting a Nexus 7 so am curious if it is possible, through an app, or in WiFi settings to find that HDD and access files I have on it. Does anyone here have access to a hard drive on your network through an Android device?
[Networking] derelict:
I can access my NAS running NFS on my network using ES File Explorer. Also my HTPC running Samba...
[Networking] joeyhdownsouth:
I do, but its a WesternDigital ethernet NAS. I use WD2go from Google Play. Works pretty good, can access and listen to music, access(but not change documents just yet), and view and download pictures all over 3g or wifi.
[Networking] Kumabjorn:
Mine is an I-O Data Device, so I guess that means I'm out of luck?

Didn't know these things were maker specific. Thought you just needed som address to access it.
[Networking] australix:
What kind of server options can you setup through your router? If you can get an FTP daemon or Samba server, it'll be very easy to setup a connection and stream files or media.

If you router can't do anything, you can still setup a server on your computer rather easily (Windows has a built-in SMB/CIFS server). It's a bit more inconvenient since your computer will have to be on whenever you want to access your files.

Regardless, hard drive make should not matter.
[Networking] joeyhdownsouth:
I didn't know for a couple of days of setting it up that there was an app. You can access most HDDs through internet, just more trouble to setup. You'll need your main IP and know a few things about port forwarding, then again samba only used to require a computer signin name and password.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mistabeo:
My problem is kind of strange.. when I turn off the phone, it thinks it's being charged (no cable plugged in).. and i'm unable to boot the OS as per usual. The only way for me to do it is to load CWM and choose the reboot option, which does work but only with 1 battery (a spare hyperion one). The stock battery and my other hyperion aftermarket battery does not work. Instead, it takes me to the stock recovery system.

I tried remedying this problem by doing wiping battery stats, but it doesn't help any. I also decided to make the jump from unnamed ROM (gingerbread) to an ICS rom (AOKP)

On top of that, the phone no longer makes a beeping sound when i plug the cable in, but it does charge the battery.

Another thing: the boot screen (when turning phone on) shows "samsung i9100" when i'm pretty sure my phone is an i777.. i might have done something to this phone when i got it about 10 months ago, but i don't remember. All i remember was rooting the phone and flashing it to unnamed ROM.

It seems like this might be a hardware issue, but i'm no expert.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jt.61:
I would try wiping cache and dalvik cache in cwm. Also, fix permissions in cwm. If that does nothing, I would try a different kernel. However, this may be an internal issue of the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Well you fixed your charging issue by itself :P It says that because the flash counter has been tripped. Just use any triangle away app from the play store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mistabeo:
i just flashed to AOKP ics rom yesterday from unnamed ROM, so i doubt it's a a kernel issue. just tried wiping cache, dalvik cache, and fixed permissions. still the same issue. im afraid of shutting the phone off or changing the batteries now, which is a pain since the new ICS rom burns battery power like crazy.

the flash counter isn't a big issue for me; thought i had circumvented it when i flashed the ROM 10 months ago, but i guess not. the phone still thinks it's being charged when it's turned off though. that's my main problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Try to go to stock and see if the problem persists. If it does obviously a hardware issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mistabeo:
ultimately, if i really want to confirm, i'd probably have to do that. but i've already installed 2 different ROMs and the issue is still persistent, so i'm just going to assume it's a hardware issue. it also seems now that the phone no longer turns off. if i choose to turn it off, it'll just reboot the phone. this phone will have to last me another 9-10 months, i just hope it doesn't die out on me.

but yeah, i tried ICS for about a day and didn't like it. bad battery life, seems slower, and less user intuitive UI.. so i'm going back to gingerbread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
you know samsung has factory warranty for that kind of stuff.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mistabeo:
i got my phone refurbished, about 9 or so months ago.. it only came with 3 months for the warranty. i guess getting a returned phone ended up biting me in the ass.

now the phone is overheating when im charging it.. looks like it's going to crap out on me soon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
Download the stock 2.3.4 firmware from the download repository. Do a full wipe including system data cache and dalvik. Boot into download mode hook up Odin and flash the stock firmware. If its a hardware issue your problems will persist in which case u could sell it on eBay for parts. If its a software issue that will fix it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mistabeo:
that's what i'll probably have to do tomorrow. if i remember correct, rooting the phone on 2.3.4 wasn't that straight forward, so i'd have to read up on how to do that again. but im just gonna leave it as is right now.

the phone acts really weird. when i took out the battery and replaced it with another one, it would keep doing the same thing. so then i plugged the phone into the USB charger and tried turning it on - that worked.

if it's a hardware thing, it's got to be something to do with the battery sensor. the phone is simple to remove, so i wonder if i can replace it myself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mistabeo:
i believe my phone is now semi-FUBAR.. it still runs, but seems like the battery sensor issue is a hardware one. i just tried doing a stock flash/odin thingy, and it still has the same issues... also, the phone is now permanently showing as MTP connected. i am also seeing decreased battery life.. only lasts about 1/2 a day now.

i guess i learned my lesson.. don't switch out the batteries too often, or your phone will die.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bubuty:
is this a big deal? i'm also having samsung i9100? im using ucle5 AJ's rom/kernel.

i'm also having issues with charging the phone. it seems to charge forever, i have to unplug and plug the charger again to properly charge it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
When it says i9100 it means you tripped the flash counter. If you want to reset it use a triangle away app.

Sent from my SGH-I777
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bubuty:
i see thanks.

i'll try to run this app and see what will happen.

do wiping battery stat needs to be in full charged? i used to do that on my tab so i guess same principle applies.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Nick281051:
No the same principle does not apply. Battery state wiping has no effect on this phone.

[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Does this tablet have haptic feedback? I don't have any whatsoever with screen taps. I have none at all with the ASUS onscreen keyboard. I have barely perceptible feedback using the stock Android keyboard. But for whatever reason I get feedback when I power on and power off. Is this normal performance for the TF700 or is this tablet defective?

Can somone tell me when (or if) you have haptic feedback with your tablet?
[Asus Transformer TF700] ugotproblemz:
From my experience yes, on my tf700 as well as my prime both device vibrated upon turning on/
[Asus Transformer TF700] Digital Man:
Mine vibrates while turning on as well - but virtually nothing else. With the onscreen keyboard, I can hardly tell the difference with haptic feedback on or off.
[Asus Transformer TF700] psych2l:
If you turn on pin number unlock there's a setting for vibration on the number keys. Try setting it and see if you can feel that.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
The on-screen buttons vibrate, but its very faint. Easy to not notice. I dont think the keyboard vibrates at all, but that's easily fixed by installing a 3rd party with more customizable settings.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
I think its because this tablet is so heavy. My old prime had pretty strong haptics.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Jotokun:
Its definitely a settings thing. Probably to avoid stress if you use the on-screen buttons while docked. My on-screen keyboard (thumb keyboard) could be set to some pretty strong vibration.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Codesworth:
Hello, I was having the same issue so I thought I might chime in. Go to settings, language and input, then it depends on the keyboard you are using. Let's say the Asus one. Click the settings button next to the Asus keyboard option. Turn on vibrate on key press. If you are using the superior SwiftKey keyboard, click on the settings button next to that one. Then navigate to the advanced tab. Click audio and haptic feedback. Make sure haptic feedback is turned on. Then set the haptic duration to anything over 55,if you don't you will not feel the key press for some reason. Hope that helps!
[Asus Transformer TF700] NeoMagus:
If it vibrates on power up/down then it is working... the C7 I got from Best Buy it wouldn't vibrate at all, keyboard , moving apps around, power up or down. Even after toggling the setting , nothing, I had to take it back.
