Im new to the terms.. isnt flash the same as install?

Also, I used Odin to root my phone, How would I go about flashing the JB rom to my phone? Hopefully I'm saying this right. The thing I dont get since Samsung is releasing JB to the s3 why would the JB work flawless with the s3. Couldnt they use the Nexus 7's JB and port it to the S3. I'm still trying to understand how all this works. I dont want to have any hardware issues, like my camera or wifi not working from what i heard in the past.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Its_Dave:
Good for you on successfully rooting your phone and doing a few things to make it suit you more better. But you will have to do some searching and alot of reading to understand some more.

Right now your phone is rooted Samsung doesn't want to update your phone cause you've already kinda said I don't like the way you do things samsung by rooting your phone. If you want, you can unroot your phone and flash a stock jelly bean rom when and if it gets released and then re-root your phone and do some more changes if you need or want to with the new update. Issue with this is that you have to wait and it takes longer for Samsung to release updates than third party developers can create them, there are pros and cons to doing third party roms same with using stock manufacture releases. its all comes down to the person you are and what you want from your phone. No one can tell you what to do and what is right to do thats your choice because mainly there are lots of choices with these phones.

With that being said its rumoured that samsung will be releasing jelly bean faster than it did other updates, but thats a rumour still. I haven't been following the development of the SG3 lots as I'm pretty happy with my rooted ICS at the moment and don't mind waiting. I don't think there is a clean stable Jelly Bean rom out there at the moment, I know they are coming and are being worked on very hard but the great teams at XDA. I also know the international version has a little more support than the North American versions.

When and if you decide to get a third party rom there are different ways you can install or flash them. Developers will almost always have clear instructions on how to install them, usually requires you backing up cause you'll lose everything and downloading a zip file putting it onto your phone and installing it with Clock Work Mod, if you don't know what that is search for it there is lots of info on it. You can also flash the updates with odin but I believe Clock Work Mod "CWM" is the better way of doing it.

Also just because jelly bean is on other devices doesn't mean its easy to bring it over to another device there are hardware differences, especially between manufactures, features are different and lots and lots of other things, its not like windows and you cant put it onto any device and it just figures it out and works.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] javier180:
I cant thank you enough for this reply. It was very informative! I been doing some research as well so I can get a better understanding on how these roms work. As sad as this sounds I found out cyanogenmod10 is basically a mod rom of jellybean. If these rumors are in fact true, would the jellybean release from samsung speed of the developing process for cyanogenmod10? Since they should share the same code or what not.

I think at this point I dont care to backup. All my pics are sync to my dropbox automatically and my can go to the playstore and redownload my payed apps there. So backing up is not needed with me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Its_Dave:
Yeah, CM10 is a 4.1.1 rom as far as I know, I still have my old i9000 and installed it on it the other day. Its nice and has all the jelly bean features, I find it a bit laggy but all the functions work great. The laggyness is hard to say, the phone is old but they are also still porting over all the features, I think its a bit of both at the moment but since its not my daily main phone I don't play with it alot.

The Cyanogenmod is a great rom, and lots of third party roms are based off that rom just with other mods on top of it. Personally since its still a beta like it says in the forum i'm willing to wait and the rumours on jelly bean coming from samsung at the end of august seem to me more true by the day. And once that is released or leaked CM will be alot better faster. But you never know still waiting on ICS from those slow pokes on my tab 10.1 while in the mean time they have released two more tables with ICS haha.

So like i have said before its really up to you. You can install the beta and try it out, I know people are using it as a daily driver. And you can always flash back to stock.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] francalberto:
I have a Team Eos UMTS Jelly Bean ROM (now with nightly #103).

JB is a really huge improvement compared to any previous android releases. It's fast, smooth and it's a really pleasure to use it.

Unfortunately it can't be played for video editing purposes because there isn't any good video editing application neither in bundle with JB nor in the play store.

In the past, with Honeycomb and ICS, there where a Google video editing application (Movie Studio) but since nightly 84 Team EOS decided to remove it from their ROM.

As I need this program I'm trying to install it. Googleing on the net I found the original VideoEditorGoogle.apk. It's a system application fom Jelly Bean so I tryed to install it as a normal application but it doesn't install. Then I tryed to install it manually inserting it in system/app with Root Explorer, but even if I previously settled the write permissions it can't be installed.

So I would really need an advise.

Do you have any idea or suggestions on how to solve this problem?

Thanks a lot

[Motorola Droid RAZR] MindlessLeadership:
Yes its a CDMA phone which is old tech which is not compatible with GSM. Try and buy the GSM one which is XT912 I think.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] jessel0001:
The XT910 is the GSM model and the XT912 is the CDMA Verizon model. As long as you buy an unlocked XT910 you should be able to use it on any GSM carrier.

[General Questions and Answers] arvindt:
I'm sorry if this is a really basic question or has been answered elsewhere before, but I couldn't find how to do it after a lot of searching on this forum, so here goes:

I'm developing an app that requires advanced networking functionality, and am trying to modify the wifi driver on Android to expose a custom API to my Android app (in Eclipse/Java) that isn't part of the stock Android SDK. I've managed to successfully compile a new kernel with my driver modifications (on Nexus S/Jellybean) so that part's good, but I also need to add the API to the Android OS and SDK, recompile and flash them, and then get my Eclipse/Java project to compile and link against the custom version of Android I've built.

Does anyone know what the best way to add a custom API to Android is, or could they point me to a step by step guide if this has been answered before? In particular, once I've built a new version of the Android kernel, the system and the SDK and flashed the custom ROM that supports this API to my phone, how do I get Eclipse/Android apps that I write to link against my new API/modified SDK?

Thanks a lot!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chuckenfoot:
Hi all... I ordered by nexus 7 from staples when it first came out. I didn't notice any screen issues at first but once outside their return period I noticed the left side was separating like other had described. Well last night several cracks formed in that area and the screen doesn't respond at all to touch anywhere on it. Staples doesn't want to do anything for me as I am outside their return period. Does Google provide a warranty? If so how do I set things in motion to get it repaired or replaced. Thanks!

I was introduced to the vrtheme installer recently. And this got me thinking. Why would one want an entire theme when they can just pick pieces that they like and make their own. Hence the Birth of JBEITEL'S ULTIMATE UNIVERSAL THEMING THREAD

What I have done was taken several individual pieces of my theme and made them just that, a separate piece along with color variations. Want a green Battery? done. want an orange battery tomorrow? done

The best part is that they do not mess with any other part of your current theme so mix and match as you like. Like Blue? pick blue battery, data arrows and signal bars. Get where I am going here?

These are rom independent, meaning, they SHOULD work on most S3 rom. I have only tested them on Synergy and Beans. As long as the rom uses the same icon names, you are good to go. If you try other's, let me know if they work so I can add them to the list.

These do not work on CM10

MAKE A NANDROID FIRST! The wifi icons have arrows on the base of it. They have separate arrows in the systemui but for some reason it isnt using those and it is using the arrows from the data arrows so they appear larger than usual. The arrows will be the same color as the data arrows that you chose.

TWRP NOW WORKS WITH VRTHEMES AS OF TWRP V2.2.2.1.

Change Log

v1 initial release

v2 fixed teal wifi and resized wifi so the arrows don't overlap.

So here we go.

Let's start with Batteries, Data Arrows Signal Bars and wifi icons, colors galore:

I will be redoing wifi so it is not covered by the arrows unless people like it like that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dan_joegibbsfan:
It is the Data that didn't work for me and a few others. One thing I have noticed is when the Data wouldn't work for me I had flashed a mod that centered the clock and I think centering the clock removes a line from the xml. I don't know if that could be a culprit for the problem or not?

[Android General] Txask:
Hi!

Probably, most of you have experienced that Titanium Backup can't be used in some ROMs because of (for example) the incompatibility with ext partitions. That is why I make this mini-guide about how to restore apps (maybe on other ROM) previously saved with Titanium Backup :

What we need

Previously saved apps, on a external SD (Obviously :P )

ES File explorer (It can be downloaded via PlayStore)

NOTE BEFORE STARTING: You can't restore the data of the app, only the app (apk).

Let's start:

1- Enter on /sdcard/TitaniumBackup/ and search the app you wanna restore:

2- Let's asume that we want install "Flash Player" (for example). When we find it, we can see that there are three files with (moreless) the same name:

3- The only file we need is wich one that has the ".apk.gz" extension (normally it appears like the 3rd), ensure by long pressing it and then entering in "properties":

4- Once we have our desired file, we press on it and we will enter on the ".apk.gz" file. Then, press again and we will get the installation screen:

Ta-da! Magic! :P

Hope that this mini-guide helped you and of course, you liked it.​

Thanks for the info man! I was using CM7 but it had not full superuser and ext support, so i couldn't work properly with it... Now I can install my saved apps.

DId I miss something? or is there something wrong with the file?

Again thanks for the info.
[Android General] dc0054:
neat but one question

Hey man i find your idea cool, but however that does not recover lost data, or am i doing something wrong?
[Android General] Pag0n:
Sorry for the necro, but this thread really helped me so I thought I'd chime in.

My Titanium Backup kept crashing everytime I tried to restore an app. I fixed this by following this guide and then going to the Titanium Backup to restore data. Once you installed the app with this guide the app shows up in Titanium under backed up apps. Then just click the app and ONLY restore data. No crashes and you get your data back!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] DoctorQMM:
^^^^ what he said ^^^^^^^

Kernel and Modem write to separate blocks (partitions). Kernel is the boot.img, and writes to dev/block/mmcblk0p8. Radio (mdm.bin/amss/bin) writes to blk13 and 17... so wiping cache/dalvik should not even touch these partitions (IMO). Any developer with better insight, please feel free to confirm:

/boot = dev/block/mmcblk0p8

/recovery = dev/block/mmcblk0p22

/system = dev/block/mmcblk0p24

/data = dev/block/mmcblk0p25

/cache = dev/block/mmcblk0p26

mdm.bin = dev/block/mmcblk0p17

amss.bin = dev/block/mmcblk0p13
