[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steve113:
With the new CWM 6.x.x. is there a way to copy the individual CWM\nandoid backups to my PC? As mentioned earlier here .

I can see a blobs folder under /sdcard/clockworkmod/blobs

Does the mean the whole blobs folder+the nandroid backup folder must to be copied at the same time in order for me to get a copy of the backup to my PC?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] republicano:
you backup the blobs and the folders, to delete a backup you delete the normal folder and the next time you backup it will free up space from those unused hash files in the blob since you deleted a older backup,this saves alot more space,

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vze33jng:
Previously, while synced with Bluetooth to my car head unit and playing Muzak, if I got a text or email or coherent notification, the music would quiet and the sound would play. Now, the music quiets, but I don't hear the notification sound.

Any idea if this is by design? I can take it or leave it, since I am a hands off driver, but it was nice to know what sort if event happened by the sound it played.

One other thing: it used t pause the song when a call came thru, but now the song plays on. If I'm on the phone for a few minutes, then when I hang up the song might be over.

Good to know! I have been getting my ducks in a row for root, since I have such a huge amount of data and settings on my phone, losing it when I unlock the bootloader would be sad. I just need to take the time to learn the best way to backup everything I need... beyond what Google backs up and what a non root backup grabs.

For those getting a This item is not compatible with your device message when they have a custom rom:

go and get your build.prop out of the /system/ folder

Open it in Notepad++ (or similar) and find this line:

ro.build.fingerprint=SEMC/ST25i_1262-1658/ST25i:2.3.7/*************

now change the red part into:

6.0.B.3.184/R7P_zw:user/release-keys

so you'll get something like:

RE: How to customize my phone to this extent...

Hello,

Before I begin, yes, I understand that I am new and that this is my first forum posting, please, do not judge myself.

---------------

Anyway, I'm a new to the whole customization scene. I stumbled across a website named 'mycolorscreen', some of the designs that our human race creates are simply beautiful... but, there is a flaw... a big flaw on my part, I have no-idea how to re-create any of them. I've been told it's simple... but I just cannot get my head around.

I am going to be as blunt as humanly possible when I say, how do I make this exact design for my device;

mycolorscreen.com/2012/08/10/wow-fantastic-baby/

I've been searching for the past hour on how-to-do-so, I now have a severe headache.

I'm sorry if there's a tutorial that has been posted already, but again, I am new here, so you'll have to bare with me.

Any help would be deeply appreciated.

Also, I do apologize if I have posted this in the in-correct forum.

Regards - Sgt
[Android Themes] CheesyNutz:
it tells you the apps that he or she used just have to track down the widgets
[Android Themes] m1keyb:
Without checking, looking at those screens it looks like they may have used a 10x6 grid size, you would set this along with hiding the status bar and dock bar in apex launcher settings, and use gestures to show them if required, you may also need to play around with the margins as well.

Using desktop visualizer you would be adding 2x2, 3x3 & 4x4 widgets...

That's it basically, you may have alignment issues if your screen resolution is a lot different to that used for the icons...but I haven't used dv for quite a while so I don't know if it's changed from how it used to be.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:20 AM ----------

Just had a quick play with it...

As you can see on my phone, with no status bar and dock the layout is ok...when the status bar is shown it throws the alignment out and same with the dock. I'm not sure how they've done it with the lower part of the screen sorry, maybe someone else can help you with that or the original poster!

Don't forget, if you use someone's work thank them for it :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Seshin:
So i was having a problem with my phone having random bootloops(Previous Threads) and someone mentioned for me to do a Darkside Wipe, Factory/user reset, reflash stock with Odin and then boot phone and then go back into CWM and do a Darkside cache wipe.Worked for about 3 days and then the bootloops continued again.It cannot be a bad power button because shortly after doing all of what was said above, i abused the power button, continually locking and unlocking the phone for about 3 minutes and nothing happened.It just reacted normally.Now if i am to try and do that the softpad buttons flash a bit and then the request for me to either Power off phone, silent mode, or Airplane mode pops up..then shortly after it puts itself back into a BootLoop.Im about to do another darkside wipe and factory/user reset(Not gonna reflash to stock with Odin) and hope for the best..If that won't work then what should I do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adamn21:
But anything that may change the state would be a huge help if you have a thought?

All I have right now is a quick LED and battery charge signal for a second then gone.

I can't get into download or recovery mode or power on.

I switched CWM versions (after a nandroid and attempting to reinstall the previous CWM would error) and then tried to flash cm10.

I went into bootloop and tried to pull the battery since i couldnt force it to recovery so i could restore factory but nothing now.

Again, I think i screwed myself, but if you can save me money I'd appreciate any thoughts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stryker1297:
dont know how to help man. unless you know how to jtag, it sounds like you are hard bricked. by the way, you do know that cm10 is SUPPOSED to bootloop for a few minutes on every boot right? or maybe your battery was really low during flash, or maybe you got a bad md5 sum for your download? more info on what you did to make this happed would make it easier to help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] papi92:
Make sure your doing the right combination for download mode. Volume down home button and power.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adamn21:
yeah. it rebooted over a dozen times.

im not sure if when i updated CWM to touch and a newer version if for whatever reason it didnt recognize the nandroid from an hour earlier.

but that doesnt really make sense.

i have to think i did something wrong with the recovery img

so now there is no response to any of the hardware buttons.

crap. and thanks.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiamino:
Does that mean all the issues with current ICS based ROMs on the DZ will be able to be resolved completely?

Or will it just affect the camera related problems?

Also will CM team then release an official DZ release?

I only ask because it seems like the DHD guys are making some progress with HTC.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30099204&postcount=731

Cheers guys.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
Well IF (and that's a pretty big IF considering that we've had plenty of headway with camera stuff on the DZ/G2 end) they were to actually release for example full sources and such it would probably aid to the camera.

However on the DZ/G2 side we already got the andreno libs and such from them over a week ago, it's... complicated.

and PS: the link you provided isn't what I'd call "progress", until we actually see something from HTC. Remember this is the same company that 'confirmed' on 4 or 5 separate instances that the DesireHD was getting ICS from them and to not worry, only to all the sudden not get it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raiamino:
I wasn't aware that HTC had released new libraries for the device, hope everyone can put them to good use.

Yeah maybe no official progress but you have to commend them for their effort so far.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
It's already incorporated as best as can be into the Andromadus branch that I know of and just bout any rom that kangs off that. (getting it going on JB is still a different story since they're meant for ICS).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
What I saw is that the most recent quarterly earning reminded HTC that they actually need to keep their customer happy to get the hard earned money.

Even though I am sure I won't buy HTC again until they show some real commitment to update their devices, keep pressuring the heck out of them is a good idea so just tell me if there's another petition.

heres the link

A play store fix is provided which is helpful but installation of it is not properly stated in video and caused me to fail first time

corrections are stated below:

download es file manager, once downloaded remember to mount system as writable at bottom in settings of application

also download s3market files provided, i have never used other file provided for calender etc it has no use in mtk6575 versions of the device

store s3market on root of sdcard

copy files within one by one, not together to system location shown

install the com.android.vending-3.5.16.apk file provided in s3market.

fix permissions in properties of files shown

then reboot device

what i have corrected in the procedure will fix the stopped unexpectedly error 100% if done correctly in mtk6575 phones of this device
[Galaxy S III General] :
I'm curious, how do these phones compare to the real thing? I gave up on clone phones after receiving a very bad quality ciphone 09..
[Galaxy S III General] rubbering:
Visually Stunning, Functionally a failure...

Be Warned, the HDC Galaxy S3 especially from fastcardtech are not worth the money and mental anguish to get the thing rooted. They come with Gingerbread, and Locked, and full of Chinese Apps. Once you free of that, the Google Sync is limited, so you cannot get your mail, calender, etc synced. Then there is Colonel Zap which is mysteriously the only person in the world prone to be able to root these devices, but be warned again. Only unless you specifically know your Chipset in your phone, MT6577 or 6575, good luck with that, you should be wary of rooting per Col Zap, as in my case, there process bricked one of my two phones from FastCardTech. And don't get me going on FastCardTech, they are complete B.S., takes over a month to accomplish anything, then they send you the lesser model than you pay for. Doesn't matter all the FREE CRAP you will be offered with this phone, doesn't make up for the fact that is is just a great looking shell with poor electronics inside.

Look these phones are from CHINA, the specs offered online are fiction, and are burnt into the kernel of the phone,so it only appears that you are getting what it states online. you are only getting a phone capable of meager performance, NO 4g, 3g, but at lower speeds if your are lucky enough to fit the Mobile Frequency Spectrum the phone runs in, being their made in China, not a U.S. friendly phone in that aspect. Wi-fi is spotty, and the software is crap, bottom line you get what you pay for, and not many resources to get you through the hard times. Good Luck.....!! At least it looks like the real thing you can show off to your friends while they laugh at you.....:eek:
[Galaxy S III General] Coupedevil:
Specs do not match and support is very poor

I bought the "Ultimate pro" version from FastcardTech.com (as a new member i am not allowed to post the link) and it does not meet the specs given by them. The GPS took about 2 hours outside to determine my position. After a factory defaults reset i could not find the strength to do this again;)

The CPU is not the 6577, but the slower 6575. The camera quality is very poor. The wifi signal is very, very weak. (i have a very good and strong router) The sound quality of a phone call is poor. The 'gsm sound' disturbes the conversation all the time, as if you are to close to a speaker. When you complain to FCT, don't expect any customer support. They give to most strange answers and can give no specific support what so ever. After some time, they say i can return the phone, but it's allmost impossible to meet their requirements, so i am pretty sure that when the have it back, i will never hear from them again. (just read the customer feedback on any honest site)

Including tax, shipping and insurance, i paid about 250 euo's for this phone.

If i had known this all on time, i would not have bought it.

But on the other hand, the responsiveness and quality of the screen is good. Gaming goes smooth and after countless factory defaults, i have managed to turn off most Chinise apps, without losing the nice 'Samsung startscreen'.

All together is not such a bad phone after all, but its not what i counted on in the first place.

Now i am curious about if there will be any tweaks possible. Rooting, custom firmware etc...

I am willing to help if possible.

Kind regards,

Coupedevil

Anyway, thanks for sharing your experience. It's disappointing to read how unprofessional some of these shops are :( It's one thing when they mess up the specs on pre-release products but this shouldn't happen with a phone that has been available for so long. Looks to me like they simply sent the wrong phone to begin with. Their lack of knowledge of even FCE-level English makes it so much worse :(

I'm looking at chinastore-online to get the Jiayu G2+. The shop at least claims some customer-friendly terms, but so far I've yet to hear from anyone who made a purchase there.

I did flash the cwm recovery and have now installed the Lewa rom for it.

google "LeWa For Samsung Galaxy S3 MTK6575" to find the rom if you want to try.

Not sure if it was that rom that made the gps work or not, because I also did install an app named GPS Booster, as well as the u-center gps test app, and the GPS Test app.

Now I get enaugh signal to get my position. But the antenna is weak I think, so I need to be outdoor and have clear weather and clear view to the sky to get it to work. I did not test it in the car yet, but I think it might be to weak to work reliably inside the car.

[Galaxy S III General] Alistair George:
Why buy a Chinese MTK6577?

Price, price price. I have been importing these for the last 2 years. 2 years ago they were not that great. The phone was heavy and thick, the wifi often was weak and battery life was average and 3g sometimes dragged the battery down. GPS was unreliable too.

Step forward in time a year and reliability improved significantly. Quaility of build was good, screen was OK.

Step forward to last six months and they are now excellent. Same size as Samsung and battery life has improved immensely, same 2A battery (smaller than S3 battery), but wifi and 3g have been sorted. Screen is still behind Samsung and hopeless if outside in sun, but perfect inside.

I have one as my stock phone, and watch movies at night regularly. My daughter has a Samsung, and I think my MTK6577 (1Gb RAM, 1GB ROM) is better apart from screen. Quite scary the rapid evolvement of these phones which cost 1/4 price of Samsung and arguably perform almost the same.

First step phones, next step Stealth fighters ;)
