[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NGL_BrSH:
Ok. So when you say stock tweaked ics rom you are saying that it's going to overwrite the updated ics i got through ota? I also don't want to lose my contacts and apps that are installed and also all the"theme" work I've done to this. I just want less Los.. More battery life and usb mass storage feature back.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
The stock tweaked rom is located on the Dev section. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=29788992

For your concerns, you can attempt to address issue by issue.

Sync contacts w google.

Change modems to address the los issues you have.

Use titanium backup for your apps.

Use a custom kernel for your battery life.

And use sfhubs storage mode fix.

Or, sync contacts w google, use tb for your apps and find a great rom that addresses the rest of the issues.

You keep saying something about an update to ics, but the latest ff18 rom builds have all ics and more..

(and of course you can always go back stock of you choose..)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NGL_BrSH:
Ok so bear with me here.

If I do the latter as you suggest (and I greatly appreciate your time and answers) would I have to personalize my phone all over again like it was new out of the box or does TB restore my apps like nothing ever happened?

I'm getting really close to pulling the trigger here but it makes me nervous because I do so very much business with my outlook account, GPS, messaging and WIFI.

If I screw it up I'll be dead in the water with no love from our IT department haha.

I come as a PC power user. overclocking, hacking etc. Is TB like when I make a exact image of my operating system and all it's contents and then if something goes wrong I can just blast it to a HDD and it's like nothing ever happened?

I have trouble leaving things be when they "work".

Thanks again.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
First off, you're welcome. And if I say something off kilter about what you are wanting to do, believe me there will be people that say so. (Surprisingly, It's a quiet thread)

What you would refer to as an img in PC, Nandroid is what you would call it here. You can find out all about that with a very helpful guide [TUT] What Is Nandroid And How To Use It [Complete Guide] [VeNuM]

Be sure to use it if you're that dependent on your phone for work.

Speaking of which, if you don't have a backup plan for your phone, I'd hold off on puling that trigger until you have read all that you can.

Using Titanium Backup, as with any software, can fail. Be sure to know how to backup and restore and when and what you can restore. Don't go from ICS to GB and try without expecting issues. There are other apps as well, MybackupPro, astro file manager.. Just do your homework.

Having a nandroid is essential for me. If you rename the backup, do NOT put any spaces in the name. It's also a strong suggestion to verify md5 if you plan on moving and storing - Don't delete the original without verifying the copy with md5. Just search for a md5 checker.

If you do decide to flash, good luck. Ton's of smarter people than me here tat can help, just make a backup..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] NGL_BrSH:
I've been reading my butt off here but I still don't have a grasp of the rooting.

When I root a phone doesn't it overwrite all my stuff? Then how would I be able to use Titanium Back up to back up all my previous stuff?

I bet I'll understand much better once I actually root it but like you said I'm trying to get a grasp of it all before I commit.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Rooting alone, no.

If you use sfhubs ff18, rooted, no data, you will not lose your current setup and data. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27635571

You'll just be rooted.

For TB I'll refer you to this - http://www.titaniumtrack.com/kb/titanium-backup-kb

Sure, it's hell of a nice phone. Got mine a week ago and never look back

thanks but i cant decide... gx and aco s..!!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
There will be a lot of 2012 devices coming after the GX

This year is a bit too messy for Sony, I will stick with the Acro S and wait for the 2013 line.

You shoudl get it. I am using it and it is a very nice and fast phone!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zhuhang:
+1

This phone is enough for years
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
I'll throw my 2cents in although i don't own the phone. So if I were you, I'd wait for the GX. It has the quite "new" Snapdragon S4 processor inside and that one is really a beast in terms of performance as it even blows away the Tegra 3 quadcore(4+1) in some benchmarks or in overall system performance. It won't take that long from now until the GX(international TX?) is released, so if you can wait, wait for it, I really recommend it. I'm lucky that I am on a long year contract with O2 already and I am allowed to choose a new phone this or next year for a fee of just 49€, so I will definitely get the GX!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gormsen:
Hi Guys

My girlfriend is thinking about getting this phone, mainly because of the water, dust and scratch resistance while it still being a powerful phone with lovely camera and an awesome processor.

My question is: How well does it handle in real life when comming to being dropped on the ground, dropped in a pile of water etc?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
You can put it in a water bucket and it will survive.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Gormsen:
Yeah, I've seen that on YouTube, now my main concern is how does it perform in a drop test. I wasn't able to find any drop tests with Google, but maybe you've heard or seen something that might be useable?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] heeroyun:
I don't really want to do a crash test because I'm not that rich hehe. Plus I doubt this phone can survive a crash without a few scars.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
Stock build.prop in a convenient zip file. Enjoy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adiv.paradise:
Thanks! Will post back when I have results.

EDIT:

It seems the update-script in the zip file you provided was written in Amend, which is no longer supported--since 3.0, Android uses Edify. CWM throws an error accordingly. However, what you have provided is pretty much all I need to put together a new update.zip (I hope) with the correct scripting language.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adiv.paradise:
I replaced update-script with updater-script. I then spent roughly two hours or so trying to find an update-binary that worked on the GS3 US variants. I have included the new update.zip file, with the update-binary inside. After switching to updater-script (written in Edify), and using the correct updater-binary, I finally got the updater-script to run. And I got as far as injecting the new build.prop. I get the following error:

assert failed: package_extract_file("build.prop","/system/build.prop")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Here is my updater-script:

ui_print(" Mounting system...");
assert(mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system"));
set_progress(0.100000);
ui_print(" Deleting old build.prop...");
delete("/system/build.prop");
set_progress(0.400000);
ui_print(" Injecting build.prop....");
set_progress(0.410000);
assert(package_extract_file("build.prop","/system/build.prop"));
set_progress(0.800000);
ui_print(" build.prop successfully injected!");
ui_print(" unmounting /system...");
assert(unmount("/system"));
set_progress(1.000000);
ui_print(" Done! Yay!");

I'll try the package_extract_dir command as well, but my experience thus far has been that it probably won't make a difference.

Anybody have any quick tips on getting the build.prop to actually inject? My hunch is that this is coming back to the difficulties I had with mounting /system as -rw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adiv.paradise:
OH GOOD LORD I HAVE DONE IT!

Switching to package_extract_dir did the trick.

For posterity, I'm uploading the final update.zip, and I'm posting here my updater-script:

ui_print(" Mounting system...");
assert(mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p14", "/system"));
set_progress(0.100000);
ui_print(" Deleting old build.prop...");
delete("/system/build.prop");
set_progress(0.400000);
ui_print(" Injecting build.prop....");
set_progress(0.410000);
assert(package_extract_dir("system","/system"));
set_progress(0.800000);
ui_print(" build.prop successfully injected!");
ui_print(" unmounting /system...");
assert(unmount("/system"));
set_progress(1.000000);
ui_print(" Done! Yay!");

Hopefully, I never again do something like this without first performing a nandroid backup :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Vorfidus:
So I guess my half done update zip did it. I knew I missed something haha.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jo_blow421:
So if I lost my build.prop (Idk how, don't ask) flashing this in cwm will restore it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adiv.paradise:
Probably. The only thing you might run into is there's a line in the updater script that deletes the current build.prop before injecting the new one. If there is no current build.prop, it might throw an error. If it does, just delete that line from the script, repackage the zip, and flash from cwm.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AZK520:
Tank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adiv.paradise:
Sorry I never responded to this... That's what happens when you comment on an old thread.

I can't put together an update.zip for you, or rather, I won't. I'm not an update.zip factory to which you can place an order for an update.zip that will magically solve all your problems. Particularly for a device I don't have. However, I have in this thread laid out all the groundwork you'll need to do it yourself. You'll need to acquire a working build.prop for your device (using any other will brick your device), an update-binary specific to your device (you can't use the one in my update.zip, that's for the Verizon GS3), and then you'll need to change the update script that was discussed in detail here. For one, the memory addresses will be different, so for example mmcblk0p14 will be different for your device, and the directory structure might be different as well. You'll need to do some research and dig around in my update.zip to see how it was done.

Error on sideloading

I am trying to sideload my LG g2 (LS980) with this update.zip. Obviously I have modified the build.prop file inside it. But when sideloading i get the following error. E: footer is wrong

E: Signature verification failed

Do you know why this happen?

Dude need help also. i have Lenovo A328, when i edited my build.prop i forgot to change the permisssions and then i rebooted it. unfortunately it ends up in black screen. and i cant seem to fix the problem using update.zip. it always says INSTALLATION ABORTED.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adiv.paradise:
Guys, you need to realize that a solution for the Verizon GS3 (sch-i535) is not going to work for any other model--the firmware is different, the memory layouts are different, and the binaries involved are different. You can't just stick in a build.prop for your own phone. You need to find an update-binary or updater-binary or whatever that works with your specific model, do research on the memory layout used in your phone, edit the injection script accordingly (that means actually learning a bit of Edify, you can't just do a search-replace to make it work, you actually need to understand what the script is doing if you want any chance of building a proper script), and use the correct build.prop. It's going to take some legwork. Also, keep in mind that I found my solution about two and a half years ago--Android has gone through I think 3 or 4 significant revisions since then--I think my phone was still on ICS (4.0) at the time, we've since had 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, and now 5.0 if you're on that. Things may have changed, and my solution may no longer work, even for the VZW GS3.

Hey everyone,

I recently installed paranoid android (latest version) but am having a hard time with my home wifi. It will connect perfectly fine, blue signal icon, but after around 20-30 minutes, the icon would turn grey and I no longer have access to the internet.

I did recently get a new modem, but I don't think its the issue as my tablet connects perfectly fine with it, as well as my computer. I'm stumped. I've tried researching, but ended up with nothing. Tried changing security types, changing my wireless signal from n to g, and still nothing.

It reverted back to my previous device is and now I can't download anything from the market.

Any help?

Edit: after some messing around I got the fix. I went into application manager and cleared data and cache from the play store. I then force stopped it.

On stock based 2.3.4 I like the stock kernel or Faux 014b2. On CM7 based I prefer TrinityELP for stability and batt life.

I am currently using the djvoleur adaptation of Harsh for CM7 roms. Its good too. I've had no probs with flashing between any of these kernels other than LED touch keys cannot be set to off when using Faux or Harsh.
