Many apps dont seem to care as my HP Touchpad shows up with the name cm_tenderloin on Google Play since its unofficial. Its only some games that flag as incompatible. I imagine most other apps just care about Android OS version and processor instruction set (ARM11, ARMv7).

I've googled this and searched the fourms and couldn't find it. Does anyone know how to enable this effect. I know the "old TV" style is gone in jelly bean. I kinda figured their would be some lock screen animation in jelly bean

hi,

there is an way in cm10 to enable the lock screen "TV Out" animation.

system settings=>developer options=>windows animation scale ( should be 1x ).

it's working in my CM10 build nightly from the 10/03/12.

Good Day.

I was going through threads on rooting, ROMs, kernels and bricking. Before reading threads about bricking I wanted to root my phone but after reading I got scared of bricking my phone which I think is difficult to debrick (unbrick).

Is it really the case that we cannot debrick the phone at home? Is it ok to root with such a consequence?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
All I can say is if you're that worried about it, don't root your phone or flash anything. Leave it on stock & enjoy it.

Hey guys,

Has anyone found a charger for an external battery that works well? I'm just talking about the 2100-2300 variety. Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] hot0m:
I'm a bit confused. Would you mean external chargers, extra batteries or http://www.amazon.com/5600mAh-Exter...-66&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s3+mobile+charger such as this? Perhaps even an extended battery...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Que_Ball:
I have two.

First us the Zagg Sparq. Doubles as both a portable battery charger and a wall charger. Looks just like the old model Apple airport express wifi routers but in black. I get about 1.5 full charges from its battery but I never really go back to full, usually just a boost to about half from empty is how I use it. Has usb ports so you need to keep a cable with it but it charges anything with a usb charge interface. Got a set of 3" cables for mini, micro, and apple dock connector to keep the mess in my bag down.

Second one is a much smaller no name device with a micro usb plug sticking out one side. Got it relatively cheap. Only has enough to charge the phone back up to about 75-85%. But it is good for an end of the day boost.

A second battery would be better in most cases but these chargers are more generic so can use them on other toys too. Bought them to get an extra day or two of power when tenting.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] nikki2beeps:
This one charges phone or external battery or both and uses a regular micro usb for mains input so can be used in vehicle as well.

Hey guys,

My bad for not clarifying. I'm talking about the wall charger for extra external batteries
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Mark930:
I just got this one its got this one for $20 off amazon its 2600mah fits nicely in your pocket so you can charge your phone while its in your pocket. A couple of problems with it is that it only came with a USB to micro USB cable but not AC adapter. It charges my phone pretty quickly but it only charged my phone about 70% before shutting off of course I was using my phone the whole time but it still should have had more of a charge in it. Also the unit its self takes forever to charge around 6 hours! But overall not a bad buy for $20.

Hi all, I'm currently using Dolphin Browser as I find it smoother than Chrome, and I also like how you can swipe from the left to get to bookmarks.

One thing I can't figure out though, is that if I close the browser from "Recent Apps" menu, the next time I open it again it'll just show a default page instead of the page I was looking at last. Is there a way I can set it up to show the previously viewed page? I couldn't find anything under Settings.

Well, when you think about it it's actually a good thing, when you exit dolphin it clears the cache and everything I use Dolphin to do my banking for that reason. So if you want to keep your things around don't kill the app.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
Hey all just to be clear first off this is not a discussing to bash me or my wife for her wanting to go to an iphone. She has decided it I have a trade set up with someone for a 32gig s4 and its done so please no bashing me or her lol!!!

Anyway! Her phone has synergy 1.3/lmo kernel 12-2. We are meeting the person at a verizon store so we can swap and activate the phones in confidence. I want to return hers to stock. I have the stock bloated zip downloaded and will do it via odin. My question is should I worry about the flash counter taking it to the verizon store to do this swap? They can't deny me a swap for it being flashed can they? Just reload stock ics and go with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afmracer6:
They can't see the flash counter. Unless they go into download mode to look for itm . It won't b a problem The swap take two minutes . Youre all good!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
Excellent I will not worry about it then. Thank You!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] &roid:
You know I'm biting my tounge. :P

Anyway, you can also look up the free triangle away on XDA. It costs 2 bucks on Play Store, but XDA members can get it for nothing. That will erase the flash counter to zero.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afmracer6:
this is true also...

the people in verizon just want to get a sim into the phone to get you out of there.

if you arent buying something they just want you out so the can get back to selling
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
Yep not gonna worry about it. On another note I just tried going back to stock on her phone via odin. Downloaded one of the stock fully bloated ics roms...followed the directions and the odin never said pass/reset. It just sat there after it took 2mins 37 secs. I battery pulled unplugged and rebooted to recovery and it rebooted to cwm recovery. I reboot phone from there and it booted back to synergy and the kernel. any suggestions? Just try again? I dont want to brick this damn thing trying to trade it tomorrow lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jasondhsd:
I'm sorry but I'm not biting my tongue. That is a horrible trade....you're giving up the latest technology for a phone that's almost a year old and only has 3G speeds. What your wife should do is throw the S3 up for sale on ebay for $500 now, use another phone for a few months and then buy the iphone 5 when it comes out in November.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] &roid:
Yeah, it didn't upload the ROM to the phone correctly. Make sure you're using 3.07 Odin also to flash the full .tar file and you're putting in the PDA slot in Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
Its really none of your business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] syrianrue:
Try switching usb ports also, my front ones are kind of flaky with odin, as are my rear usb3 ones...the back usb2 however works fantastic and has never given me a problem. Just remember some people it takes 1 minute flat, and others it takes 10 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jws86:
I finally got it thanks guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] afmracer6:
I've been using Odin 1.85. The 3 version has been fishy for me. Also. If you have root 66 or something just use it. An apple person isn't going to check or know anything about 1 icon that says superuser. Also restart your computer. It helps sometimes
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carlitosgy6:
they normally in that case dont check the download triangle
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevenjcampbell:
Being nice here, but has she used the smaller screen on the iphone extensively?

After setting my wife is with an HTC inspire she thought she wanted an iphone 4s too until she used one in store and decided the screen is too small.

Point is, she's making a huge downgrade. Maybe have her use it for 10 minutes in store before the person getting the s3 makes off like a bandit :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
If his wife wants a iphone, then so be it...Im pretty sure the op understands quite well its a downgrade, but remember we talking about the wife here. Sometimes you have a better chance to get struck by lightning than convincing them of anything!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] batjeeper:
To each their own. I showed my wife the iPhone (coming from a dinc) and the Nexus and she went straight for the Nexus. It's all user preference. No need to bash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deymayor:
My wife, the iphone fangirl to the bone, hated the Nexus and Razr Maxx and spent less than 5 mins to come up with that conclusion. Then while she's waiting for the iPhone 4S replacement from verizon, she saw the S3 from their store and was won over instantly. We're both using the same phone and while i cried over losing the Note when we switched carrier, this is truly the one that resembles it the closest. To each his/her own but this phone makes iphone lovers drool.

I'm newly returned to android, I had a moto droid at launch and then a MyTouch 4G (both rooted, flashed ROMs all the time) and a nook color (also rooted). I took some time to explore other OS's and decided to try a Galaxy Tab 2.0 7". Long story short, I just traded my Lumia 900 for a white Skyrocket, installed the official ICS, and am not impressed. I was hoping for something closer to what I am running on my Tab. So, to the point, I don't want to be flashing ROM's all the time, I just want something stable and with usable battery life that is closer to to stock ICS or the flavor of touchwiz I'm using on my Tab. Which ROM would be best for me?

PS: Already flashed CWM Touch and SuperSU, then used ROM manager (I mentioned I had an original Moto Droid didn't I) to create a backup. So I'm all dressed up with nothing to flash!

Hi guys,

I need your advice related to rooting my Nexus phone I got from Google Play.

That said, I looked at few tutorials and from all of them, this one is mostly recommended:

Before I proceed, I need your opinion about the tutorial and also if is possible to run on my phone just BusyBox, while rooted.

Thank you for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
To run root without CWM...

Simply uze the command "fastboot boot RECOVERYNAME.img" rather than the one in the guide.

This won't write a custom recovery to your phone...but boot into it one time only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
Thank you. I'll work on it and let you know guys how it went. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TECK:
Everything went very smooth, no issues. Well the hardest part was to get the right ADB drivers, as I did not wanted to install unsigned drivers. I'm going to work now, will post the drivers info when I come back. For reference, I have now root without CWM.

If I decide to revert back to stock, what is procedure?

I have the bootloader locked now, so I guess opening it again will erase everything including the root files. Let me know please.

Edit: To get the drivers rolling in Windows 7 64bits Ultimate, I used this tutorial.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
As long as you have root...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27878074

Will unlock/lock without wiping.

And as far as returning to stock...you haven't modified much thus far.

So deleting busybox and then superuser will work...if you haven't modified any system files.

Or you could always flash the stock images (this does erase your "SDcard" and everything will be back to an-out-of-the-box state).
