U don't actually have to root. Since Samsung was kind enough to leave the boot loader unlocked just flash a different recovery. U also have the added benefit with this method of no flash counter increase.

As for ics, I highly recommend skyics to get u started, and cm9 if ur feeling adventurous
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:

you just need to install a custom recovery such as cwm or twrp, no root required.

Can we build a CWM 6.0.1.1 for the nook tablet ?

Using this ( builder ) site ? http://builder.clockworkmod.com/

Are the new features desirable as compared to what we're currently using ?

Hi all,

In flashing CM10 roms, something seems to have happened to the symbolic links on my phone. Right now, while I can restore nandroid backups, flashing a new rom will return a status 7 error with the note: "symlink: some symlinks failed". This doesn't seem to be a typical status 7 issue that can be repaired by editing the update-script file, but rather something that has to do with the way the phone mounts the internal virtual sdcard.

Does anyone have any advice on how I may be able to restore this?

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like your phone was carrier locked during jtag update. Don't know if Medusa can unlock? Why not just jtag again with correct model?

When you Jtag'ed your phone did u solder or use a Jtag HD7 Adapter? If adapter was use where did you get it? I'm in the States and the only place I can find is multi-com.pl which wants something like $30 to ship a $10 part to Florida, freaking crazy.

I'm having a huge problem downloading rars or zips whether it be on 4g or WIFI or with dolphin browser, stock, or skyfire. I get errors as ssoon as the download starts every time. I can't figure out if this is some sort of block attempt from sprint / Samsung on filesharing/hosting sites or if its just my phone. Anyone have any insight on this? Driving me crazy
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Try the app "Download all files" - know that works for me. Usually it's a lack of file association.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
check the download directory. Dolphin>Settings>More>Settings>Privacy & Personal Data and see if there is something in there. Check you 'download' directory too (sdcard/download).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
But it is dowloading now, right? That solves your first problem.

Opening a rar will require an app and there are free ones out there on Play.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] carnivalrejectq:
No they do not download what so ever on wifi 3g or 4g all browsers will just pop up and say error. I'm really thinking its just sprint blocking filesharing sites or something internally wrong with my phone. Its the same thing for downloading roms, tools for roms, or even music that's contained in rars. It just refuses to downlaod things off of browsers.

Edit: it appears to be a memory problem with the internal storage switched it to external dl location and it started working.I was unaware cuz this was previously my girls phone. Thanks for the responses and help.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleanthis26:
Hello everybody!

Every time I try to log in to the Samsung app store I get the following error you can see in the attachment.

I've bought an SGS in the UK in September of 2010 where I created my Samsung account and I could download everything OK. About 2-3 weeks ago I bought an SGS III (i9300) from a store in Cyprus. Currently it operates with a Cypriot sim-card and while Google play works fine, I cannot download anything from the Samsung app store and I get the error shown below. I haven't previously tried to use the Samsung app store from the first SGS in Cyprus in order to know if the store is network based.

Does anyone know the solution without the need of rooting or any other system modification? Also if you need any more information please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slking1989:
Did u choose UK when u signed up?

Have u changed it to Cyprus?

---------- Post added at 06:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

Lol and I've only just looked at the screenshot. It's quite self explanitory. U need to be connecting to the Cypriot market. Not UK.

Did you know what apps your after? I'm sure if they aren't on the Cypriot market that Google may be able to assist you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cleanthis26:
Thank you for your reply!

Yes I've chosen UK as it is the country I want. I'm going back to the UK to continue my studies on September and I want to use the UK store. As the screenshot says, when I set up my account for the first time I've chosen UK and I want to keep on using the UK store. I'm sure that many things in the Samsung app store would be on Google Play, but e.g. Polaris office is free for SGS3 therefore there is no reason for me to pay for it.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] projectzro:
is there a way to extract the KDZ file to put into NVFlash to upgrade the baseband. i have tried many times to get the lg upgrade tool to work and it never worked. tried a ton of different tutorials and none worked. i have NO access to an XP machine and this laptop is ****ting the bed to begin with. im assuming it is just my computer that is the problem, its running win 7 ultimate 32bit. after this phone though im sticking to the Nexus lines ONLY. im sick of **** like this, no updates (when there are they can actually brick your phone), no support and no drivers. even the f!@king G1 has JB!!! :mad:

[Desire General] drdoomgod:
Hi,

i have the problem of not enough memory OR a slow system. Currently im using a class6 16gb microsd with default app2sd from the rom (JB spazedog), but the app data fills up the internal memory nonetheless. If i move everything (not just apps) to the sd the system is getting slow and unresponsive.

It is worth getting a faster sd (class 10) and moving everything to sd or do i have no choice but keeping apps to a minimum?

Thx
[Desire General] erklat:
No, but it would probably be worth to change to some rom which is not in beta and fits in /system small enough to have /data big enough to keep dalvik on nand and give more space for apps.
[Desire General] oxyg3n89:
When using 6class and 10class i feel no significant changes in speed of app2sd area.

running speed test, write speed is usually about the same, read gives little higher results.

attachment below 16gb Transcend 10class vs Adata 8 gb 6class
[Desire General] Badger48:
I'm using ICS Spazedog and DiskManager is working fine. Sometimes I have to switch pages when looking at app storage to get it to work. Maybe it didn't install properly, maybe your partitions need to be aligned, maybe the SD card needs to be reformatted. Could be quite a few things doing it.
[Desire General] bortak:
Nope
[Desire General] x3m.zone:
Class 6 -> 10

If you use App2SD, definitely no.

If you use Data2SD, it is possible to see some differences.
[Desire General] Sheiji:
In terms of memory, you have to keep in mind that using a2sd means sending the dalvik (if you choose so) ans the app to the sd-ext. While it allows to more internal space, it still decreases.

The sd-ext partition is practically limited to 1024mb by the desire inter storage size too, meaning that going over 1gb of sd-ext size wouldn't be better.

Now like erklat said, it is better to switch to more stable ROM as JB ROMs offer few space and their behavior have not yet been standardized.

Recap: In terms of memory, it is not necessary to change to an upper class, but it is always a nice harmless improvement.

In terms of speed, I have seen that changing to class 10 gives great speed changes in terms of massive gaming:

Due to the higher read speed and also with the read ahead bumped I was able to increase greatly the loading time of such games as Modern Combat 3 and Nova 3. I was surprised since I thought that it was because of the processor mainly that it was so slow. There is an increase in performance when switching to an upper class, but frankly you cannot notice it unless you benchmark the results by testing with a ressource eater app.

To recap: It is worth the change only for the read speed. I'm not sure but I think that write speed is somewhat limited somehow by the hardware. (I'm thinking about windows here, if someone could confirm that please. )

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leroadrunner:
Hi guys. all these threads and stickies about JB are confusing me.

I am not an expert at installing ROMs, but I do have my phone withÇ

-AOKP Milestone 5 (maguro),

- clockworkmod (not sure what version)

- FrankoKernel.(milestone 2)

- su.zip

And I do have ADB from Galaxy Nexus Tookit, so I did backup everything!

I would like to go to JB, still have Root access. Not sure if I should go to AOKP, its fast and good on battery usage, but been a pain for acquiring 3g data...seems I have to put it in airplane mode and back to normal to get data on 3g working.

So, I am thinking of going stock JB from Google that way I get updates from Google themselves.

Where should I start?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
If I were you I would flash a stock rooted jb rom version JRO03C that is the Google factory image one and see if you like it. Aokp is just doing nightlies now and they may not have the stability you are looking for yet.

Depends, I personally uninstall it first thing just because even if I loaded it with cash I feel I would never use it, as most places I go don't support paying with NFC, but of course that is just me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gkastrinos:
You could also try a rom created with JB source, like CM10.

No need for the OTA updates from Google if you've got a ROM running.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
I don't think that the op flashes roms very often, so I'm assuming that they want something completely stable which means cm10 is not an option yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leroadrunner:
Thanks guys, that's correct I don't flash Roms often at all! Well good news I am now on JB as I wanted. So far liking it a lot...battery is not as good as was expected.

Can I flash a different kernel, would that help? Or any other tweaks?

Otherwise...no problem, I pretty much have rechargers everywhere I am...home/work/car!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eqjunkie829:
Trinity has a pretty good stable kernel but only flash it if you need the extra features and overclocking capability.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Negrito:
Am I missing a setting or something? I am unable to turn my phone(screen) back on at anytime during a call once it times out and shuts off. Neither the power, or home buttons will wake it while a call is in progress. So if at anytime during a call I need to check a text, look up info, or even make a selection for an automated system im out of luck. This has been happening since I got the phone on launch day, and at first it didnt bother me, but now that I have had to call customer support for my home internet a couple times this past weekend it has become quite the issue. As if I make a wrong selection I get stuck in the automated system, and cant wake the phone to end the call, so i have to take my phone out of its case, rip the back off, and pull the battery. I searched google & this forum, but didnt find anything. Was hoping the latest update would fix it, but it seems I may be the only one experiencing this.

Any help or info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Life Engineer:
Hey guys!

I have a serious issue here!

In the middle of the day, out of nowhere the phone turn itself of; i never detected that moment; all i know is that when i pick up the phone i find it turned off.

At first that happened when i was still running the stock ROM 4.0.4 unrooted or anything. The phone was in my pocket so i said maybe i touched unintentionally the power button and i dropped it.

However the last 2 days i am running a custom ROM JB CM10 flashed cleanly completely!

I am suspecting that this is no software problem cuz i know with software issues i elk have mostly reboots and not shotdowns.

I suspect that this is a hardware issue, most probably a battery issue; since after i return the phone ON, i can see the battery at 20 or 30% lower than what it should be!

I have wiped battery stats (i know that maybe does nothing) and wiped cache and dalvick and still nothing!

Any ideas/help/suggestions are welcome guys!

Thank you!

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] sipple31:
Looking at getting this device (coming from iP4).. but I am reading the shutter lag is pretty bad. I like my cell phones to have a good camera... not too much to ask, right?

My question - do any of the cooked ROM's reduce shutter lag? Or is the lag on a hardware level?

thanks for help in my decision!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] grundlestain:
i have always been able to find camera apps that overcame issues that i didnt like in the stock app... fast burst camera app can take pics really fast, and can take a bunch in a row so you could choose the one you like... camera illusion gives you lots of effects you can see in real time,

if youre worried about the shutter time, the stock app spends a long time focusing, but its gives some really nice results... so try a few apps and find the one that fits you best.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] itsLYNDZ:
Ive noticed this also. Tried fast burst camera, but every pic I took was blurry... Any other good camera apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jjfad:
Bumping this to see if anyone has identified a better camera app. I tried out the Blaze, and I like it in pretty much all respects except for the shutter lag on the camera...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] namaui:
I'm pretty sure the camera in the Blaze dates back to the original Galaxy S. So while it can take some decent shots, it's no replacement for even a halfway decent point and shoot.

I have played with a few apps that will try to take an image faster than stock, but most do a crummy job as they do it without focusing first. But if you can live with the slight shutter delay the Blaze will actually take some pretty nice photos.
[HTC Rezound] yatman60:
Hey guys,

Don't know if it's a coincidence or not but after updating the global roaming update to my Rezound, I've noticed several apps are coming back as not compatible with my device from the market. Evite and RealPlayer being just 2 specific examples.

Anyone else experiencing these issues and is it really just a coincidence or is there a direct relation to this global roaming update?

One thing that seems really weird is when I go online to google.com/play, it gives no indication that the apps are not compatible and when I try to install from there, it gives the message that the items will be downloaded to my phone shortly however on the phone i see errors that it "XXXX could not be downloaded due to an error.
