The title says it all really.

There are loads of ROM threads that are dead and obviously so that still get bumped to the top for one reason or another.

There have been a lot of ROMs being pushed out lately and only in an initial release as the DEV immediately moved on to something else leaving the ROM\thread basically dead only to be bumped over and over. Then you have the others where the DEV just vanishes leaving the threads to again be bumped over and over.

Could these threads be moved to a DEAD section where they are still accessible is some one wanted to flash or even try to continue the work that was started? This would free up the DEV section of clutter and not push the currently viable and supported ROMs down the list.

Also if a ROM is in the DEAD section it would be more noticeable this it is dead and don't bump it for an update.

Just a suggestion and my 2c.
[EVO 4G General] Soap:
If you think about it, there are around 50+ pages to search through. The amount of Roms still being worked on is roughly 2-3 pages.. so if you want a 45 page dead section.. by all means, go ahead and search for days. If you're looking for a Rom you know the name of and Devs name, use the search bar at the top. Narrow your search by a good amount. Its unnecessary but start a petition if you desire. I'm sure you could get a decent following and be heard by a senior mod or some major contributor.
[EVO 4G General] jamieg71:
I think this would discourage a dev from coming back to a ROM months or years later. Its pretty easy to tell what ROMs are active and which are not. Be a shame to see Myn's Warm 2.2 in a section like that. One of the greatest ROMs ever, swap back radios and its still one of the best. But then again, for some reason people do act like its too much to search and read a little.

[EVO 4G General] Mazda:
This is a horrible idea! Just like Jamie said, is not that hard to tell what ROM is dead and what ROM is still active.

BUT playing devil's advocate, let's just say we DO get a "dead ROM" section.......who's going to set the time limit on a ROM? Do we say is dead after a couple of weeks of it not being active? Do we base this decision on how long is been for updates?

IF this idea actually becomes reality, what's next? A "POPULAR ROM" section and a "NOT POPULAR" section? I think if is not broken, don't mess with it! BUT who knows, crazier stuff have happened on XDA.
[EVO 4G General] ropodope:
this idea obviously came from someone who does nothing but flash roms and gave no real thought to this. how about this for an idea instead: how about you not be allowed to re release an old rom that has not been updated or improved by starting a new thread for it? why wouldn't you just keep the old thread in place and just change the name of your thread title to reflect that it's the same exact old ROM? are you really so desperate for some notoriety and xda acceptance? that's right I said it.

ridiculous.

What did the five fingers say to the face? Sa la ppa.
[EVO 4G General] veyka:
No going to happen guys, if a rom goes unsupported, either the community picks up the effort or it drops down never to be seen again.

If people are bumping dead roms with stupid posts, report it and it will be dealt with, simple :good:

I'm going to close this as I don't really see any need to keep it open :)

Hey,

NOTE: FOR ICS USERS ONLY

I have seen many many threads abt wanting touchwiz launcher on our little phone, so after a bit of trial and error, i have finally found out a way to do it.

Step 1: Download the .apk file in the attachment, copy it into system/app and give it permissions (rw-r-r).

Step 2: reboot your phone and enjoy! :)

FOR CM9 users:

Go to this link and download the theme for complete effect! :)

Enjoy

[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
I only see Sense, no touchwiz in those screenshots.

[HTC Wildfire S] Dhiraj:
I think the launcher is based on holo launcher .
[HTC Wildfire S] blogslogger:
Its touchwiz 5. sense has the app drawer in vertical scroll.. :)
[HTC Wildfire S] blogslogger:
I dont know what launcher it is, but it mimics touchwiz perfectly (which is all i want!) :)
[HTC Wildfire S] omnomnomkimiiee:
Touchwiz isn't about scrolling sideways.

The colors are different, the animations don't have the same timings, etc.

When I look at the screenshots you gave us, I see Holo Launcher and a Sense 4 clock widget.

[HTC Wildfire S] blogslogger:
to have all the animations and all, we need to have an s3, which is out of question :P

Okay, never mind.

Also, app can be installed like a normal apk.

Thank you. Did you try it to install like a normal app? I did and it used to force close.:(

Got two FCs at first, but then it went fine. Pushing doesn't give me the FCs, so it's a better solution.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazzstrikers:
Hi, my friend installed Font Installer (root) from the Play Store on his SGS3, then applied a font. The font is only seen when displaying web pages in web browser etc, but the Samsung messaging apps, music player etc still retain the default fonts. Is it because the Samsung apps have a font that pioritises over custom fonts? Is there a way to overwrite those?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huppen:
I can't answer your question, but curious if some one else know something. I have the "reversed" problem, I installed Font Changer (used it before on my Sensation, Incredible and Legend successfully) and I can see my custom font everywhere, but not in my browser. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mazzstrikers:
Haha that's a weird case! Browser should be the first test to see if the font is applied, cause it renders pages with the new font applied. This is unlike many system apps which have their default fonts overwriting the applied font.

But I'm kinda surprised because the font applied throughout all system apps on my One X but not on the SGS3.

Try Rom Toolbox Lite in Play, it has hundreds of fonts. Need to be rooted though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superuser_x:
Use Rom Toolbox with caution for changing the fonts. My S3 and prior to that S (I9000) have gone into boot-loops while applying some fonts. One that I can remember is 'Okari or Otari' font.

So I download the firmware it says to, I update it and then I flash the ROM. I get stuck in a boot loop though. Can someone give me the firmware they used or is there something I am forgetting to flash or update?
[HTC Sensation] Akatosh:
Did you do a full wipe?
[HTC Sensation] gol_n_dal:
Is the PG59IMG.zip file you used to flash the firmware still on the SDcard ? If so pop out the SDcard and try a reboot.

Did you SuperWipe before installing the new ROM, assuming that ROM's OP suggested it.
[HTC Sensation] davinmccloudy:
Yeah I did a full wipe. I used the ARHD super wipe file. I flashed Elegancia just fine a couple days ago (I did update to the firmware needed for LeeDroid, since it's different from Elegancia). I'm coming from AOKP though so would that affect it at all?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Most ics roms take either 3.32 or 3.33 firmware ,most can run both 3.32 and 3.33. What exactly did you download in regards to firmware? If its ics or 4.0.3 It's going to take one of those firmwares.

As said. In pro you an just click a button and restore them all, with or without data. You can do all apps and system data or you can do all apps, missing apps etc. Gives you a list in case you want to

Ton of features in there that i dont really use. I just backup all new user apps & new versions and then backup for modified data and then i restore when i do a rom. New versions have that all new user apps and new versions set to also backup all system apps. Might want to swap the option back to how it used to be. Backing up every system app is stupid.

So, i've had wifi issues with my galaxy player 5.0 US model ever since I got it. I thought rooting it and flashing a new kernal and custom

rom would fix it but i've still been encountering the same issues. After I connect to wifi (anywhere) It will randomly turn itself off and then back

on and reconnect, I've set up a static ip on the device and that fixes the problem, but the static ip only seems to work when I connect at my house

and my girlfriends, anywhere else I have to turn off the static ip and just deal with the wifi problem. Is there a fix I don't know about?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] iJimaniac:
Well, this was a well known bug talked about during the first few months of the galaxy player. It was decided it mainly had to do with Belkin routers. One fix for some was to change the router timout. You would need router access to do so.I think it was fixed in the 2.3.6 update. If you could find a custom Rom based on 2.3.6, that might solve it.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Salvi1982:
Yes and try to re-flash the custom kernel if you use a ROM without a kernel inside (after the first installation), always by CWM; I solved this problem with 2.3.6 GB custom rom based or 2.3.6 stock ROM + custom kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] beeewell:
Me Too !!

I too had the same problem with the stock SGP 5 and my Verizon FIOS ActionTec router. It works fine with a static IP address, and without it, it would drop the connection. Changing the router timeout did not work for me. I've concluded that certain devices don't play well with each other. In my case, it was the SGP5 and Actiontec router. By the way, my girlfriend's IPAD has the same problem (and same solution) with the Actiontec router, so it's not just a problem with the SGP5.

i.e. N7000ZSLPF---4.0.3/12.05---N7000OZSLPF---Download---Hong Kong

N7000ZSLA2 --------------------2012 January--------N7000OZSLA2-----------------Hong Kong-------------------------Download (wipe)

Once I downloaded, I just put the full zip into sd card and install from sd card by going "vol up + power + center button" correct?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
Yep, you're going to be upgrading to ics straight after right? So if you download any of those versions, then safest to install with pc odin (you'll find instructions of how to use in same thread).

Flash gb, wipe data, then sign into samsung account and google account and wait for update notification which should be fairly instant, update ota.

OK, This is what I did so far. Please tell me if my Note is rooted or warranty bye bye, because I am planning to get my phone to Samsung for final checking in 3 months before warranty ended.

This is my steps:

1) Downloaded 2.3.6 firmware N7000ZSLA2 --------------------2012 January--------N7000OZSLA2-----------------Hong Kong

2) use Odin to install it

3) When I am on 2.3.6, I installed or changed nothing, then plug my Note into PC with Kies On

4) Kies asked me to upgrade to 4.0.4 and so I did it right away.

5) My Note is on 4.0.4 firmware now.

so, is it all back to normal or is it something that it's warranty voided?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
If it is kies update it is official, your still under warranty. Btw did you check your download mode if it had binary count or yellow triangle, because it will void your warranty also even though your on official firmware.

Sorry if this issue has been brought up before but i couldn't find an answer anywhere on the forums. Please note that this is my first Android device and i'm still getting accustomed to the OS.

I prefer using the stock email app over the gmail app on the galaxy S3, however, everytime i receive a mail notification and want to check it, the phone automatically opens the gmail app to check the email instead of the stock app.

I can't find anything in the settings menu or the settings in either application to help with this issue.

Anyone know how to set the stock email app as the default to open emails from the notification bar?
