[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] stevenjcampbell:
Unlocking the bootloader and getting a developer edition are essentially the same thing.

It would be a completely foolish purchase to get a dev edition at this point. \

I will try and answer, i have been reading quite a lot lately on this stuff, but am no expert.

Once the developer edition is available, will a native version of the "developer edition" ROM be available to those who using the new unlocked bootloader and presumably a custom ROM now?

AFAIK there will be no developer edition rom. Rom is the OS image, that the kernel is what you would run that needs to be custom. Now that the VZW S3 is unlocked, you can flash whatever kernel you want to it, which means roms which are currently being hacked into kexec kernel situations will run without that special boot mode.

Ideally I would like to get back in sync with Samsung/Verizon ROM releases to avoid any OTA issues, return issues etc. What if any issues will I run into with this approach?

None. You will get an image of factory stock, and flash this in ODIN. This will restore the stock rom/kernel/recovery etc and you will be fine. You may need to use ADB Push or triangle away to reset the flash count though.

Anyone have any idea when the new Samsung Dev edition will be available? I just purchased the new S3 from Verizon (full price) and can return if needed in the next week. The phone is a dog as delivered. Many FC's on traditionally stable apps I have run in past.

Do you understand that there is going to be no difference? The developer edition, or an unlocked VZW S3 running touchwiz will have the same FC issues. That is a rom vs app vs android version compatability.

FWIW i love my s3 and cannot say i have had issues. It sounds like the apps you are using.

Once again, why would you spend that much on a developer edition. Now the same thing you have in your hands IS a developers edition with an unlocked bootloader.

I am meeting with the Samsung guy's at IFA in a few weeks on a related matter, will feedback whatever i can.

LMAO. I am sure that he/she will care alot. Yeesh. Samsung just sells the phones, VZW is the one that locks them down. They sell the same hardware to all of the carriers who install bloatware or do whatever else with them.

Other thoughts or concerns related to return vs unlocking and moving forward now.

Yes, you are over thinking it.

Ok I have a spare S3 which i'm not going to use, so i plan to plug it to a TV via HDMI and use it as a multimedia center.

So from what i can see I need 2 things.

1. good app to wirelessly sync files between PC, Tablet, Smartphone and the S3 (option to stream media from the PC would be great as well)

2. A program to remote control the S3 from my other android smartphone

any other advise for the setup is welcome :)

I have to sell my nexus s 4g since I'm leaving sprint, and I was wondering if there is a good replacement with a bit more power. I just really, REALLY do not want to be stuck with touchwiz or sense. Sense is better than touchwiz imo but after using stock 4.0, I like it way more than any of the others. It's beautiful with it's dark themes and infinite contrast on the sAMOLED.

I wouldn't mind having to flash but there needs to be a large number of active roms with a fast, stock ics/jb UI.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikusP:
Hi Everyone!

My names Mike, and I'm an artist working in the UK. I've had an idea for an art project for quite some time now, and in the process of working through the details I believe a component of it could be solved using an Android Application. The idea for the application would be to have a camera that is always at the ready and will snap a picture every time a certain level of audio input is reached. Now, this will be slightly different to your average 'Audio Trigger' in the sense that the camera will have to be able to take pictures at an incredibly fast pace. Two, three, four or more a second if possible.

Obviously, Ive done a bit of research to see if there are any applications available that could do the job without any alterations. There are a few apps that come close.

The first is 'Fast Burst Camera'

This is an amazingly quick camera application capable of taking photos in the region of 30fps at 1280x720. (I'm guessing this uses some sort of modified video camera function?) Setting this to Full Manual mode allows for amazing capture speed, taking photos as fast as you can hit the shutter button. Perfect!

The second is 'Sensor Camera'

This app has perfect control over the sound meter levels for the 'Audio Trigger'. Allowing you to set a watch value at 10db increments. The only drawback is the use of full resolution shots, making the capture rate far to low.

I'm wondering if it would be possible to combine the two functionalities into one application? Whether this would be possible in terms of processor speed and hardware?

I know the commercial appeal for this functionality would be almost non-existent, but for the use in this project it would be perfect! I've emailed the respective developers of each application, without much interest.

If anyone is interested please let me know. This is for a non-profit art project, so it would be great if people wanted to donate their time, but I would also be happy to pay. The app would not be used commercially at my end, only for the work in the project.

If you've made it this far, thank you for your time :)

Mike.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SferaDev:
Hey your app sound cool let's do some Mindstorm:

Problems I see for the app: If you hit a loud sound and you don't want to take a picture. (Ex. Train passes nearby and the phone it's locked in your pocket).

Functioning diagram: In the java we implement a action listener that hear the sound and this will return in a action (making a photo). The ui must not be so complex only a force photo button and maybe some preview.

It's a great app and it's easy. Maybe I can analyze if it's too difficult to make it but now I'm in holidays and I don't have too much time... I'll say something, what can be great it's to have the eclipse project of those two apps if they are opensource, specially the sound hearing one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikusP:
Hey SferaDev!

Thanks a lot for the detailed reply, sounds like you've definitely got some headway with this one.

On the subject of unwanted sounds triggering a shot, for this project, that wont actually be a problem! As long as its possible to adjust the trigger using some sort of incremental value (in db?) it should be perfect. I'll probably be using a separate audio source fed through the headset line-in as the trigger.

Thanks again for your interest.

Oh, and they're both commercial apps, so I doubt there's much chance of getting to the project files
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SferaDev:
Yeah I deserve the camera app it's not as difficult as it seems. We are not working from the API, w are just requesting to the camera app a photo. What it's difficult because I never worked with audio recording apps within the source it's to listen the balance of the dB...

Hope I helped but we need more exp devs, because all my Android apps are related to internet usage not to media usage, but I'm quickly learning... :)

it's not the rom. I've been unplugged for 6.5 hours, with pod casts playing constantly some texts and internet and have 86% left. Try wiping all data, cache, dalvik and put it through a full battery cycle, let it die and charge it 100%, it will get better

Something about calibration?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] strcdply:
I am on v1.7 and the thing that helped me get more battery life out of this version of the ROM was to turn off Google NOW. I did this by hitting the mic in the google search bar, go into Setting and turn off google now. Incidentally the voice search functionality still works; when I try something like "What year was Albert Einstein born?", the robotic voice gives me the right answer. lol. Right now I don't have a need for the cards.

You're in good shape. MIUI is a Cyanogen-based Rom, so it uses a different modem (UGKC1, in this case, which is an I9000 modem). The I9000 is the international Galaxy S version of our phone, and things that run on it will often run on the Captivate.

I had it all rooted and installed Baked's new ROM, and it gave me superuser permission when I booted into the OS the first time.. but then I restarted the nexus and bam. root was gone, superuser no longer worked... had to reload my backup of my original rom, root is back again.

I'm running CWM touch as recovery (latest update) had OTA voodoo rootkeeper (which won't help though because its a fresh install right?)

with any nexus device, there really isnt a "rooting". from scratch all you need to do is fastboot oem unlock(bootloader), fastboot flash a custom recovery, and either flash the su binaries or a custom rom in your recovery. no root toolkits needed. thats whats awesome about any nexus.
