[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
Hi the guides are out there in the sticky threads at the top of list. My advice would be to find the forum specific to your model version and read. Once you know how to root and have acquired the necessary software then read how to recover your phone should anything happen. Once you have all this information and software then start to root. I have no background in software, IT or programming and I learnt the basics on this site. All the best
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiploDroid:
thanks for the reply! I have been modding phones since my Nextel phones and through to my iphones, but I got this SII a couple months ago, I rooted it yesterday, but I feel like the guides youre talking about dont give enough details, lol. what im asking for is for someone to hold my hand the first time. lol
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HANDSY:
If you've already rooted it then that's the biggest step, in my opinion. Installing a new rom is relatively easy. Most devs give an installation guide in their thread, as you don't have the same model as me and all ROMs aren't installed in exactly the same I'm hesitant to "hold your hand". Have you found the forum specific to your model?

Users there may be better qualified to guide you. Happy flashing.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4038153:
Why did you laugh out loud twice writing that?

You're in the wrong forum, and if you don't understand the terms you describe, ignore the stuff on this site and continue to enjoy your phone.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiploDroid:
Thanks for everyones replies, i found the correct forum.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KeithOYS:
I thought it'd be handy for me to give you some of the following brief definitions.

Stock ROMs - Original/OEM Phone Firmwares made & developed by manufacturers i.e. Samsung, Sony, HTC, themselves. Comes with your phone.

Custom ROMs* - Firmwares that are developed by individuals (often built from Android Open Sources). Requires root to install these ROMs.

Apps - Android applications.

Kernels - Essential Android component; Execution of your Android operating system. Speed and battery life of your phone can be said to be mainly connected to it.

*Here's a compiled list of custom ROMs managed by Recognized Contributor GaboWinter.

To install (A.K.A. flash) a new ROM, it is done via your phone itself.

Usually the steps are:

1. Download the ROM in .zip format

2. Transfer the .zip to your phone (if you downloaded it into your computer)

3. BackUp your existing app data (using Titanium Backup App)

4. Reboot your phone into ClockWorkMod recovery mode

5. Perform a NANDRIOD Backup

6. Wipe Cache Partition + Wipe Dalvik Cache + Wipe Data/factory reset

7. Choose .zip file from your phone storage

8. Flash the .zip (You've installed a new ROM at this stage)

9. Reboot back into your system

10. Enjoy your new custom ROM.

Please correct me if I made a mistake somewhere.

This may be another stupid question.

But is there any update on the IMEI? Also is the only way to back up the IMEI from the thread down below? Is it possible to back it up by making a nandroid backup?

Here is a speedy theme for MIUI V4 that hs just been made in 4 hours (believe me, or not). It is based on

the N9 Meego theme by Tungi91 for MIUI GB. I have used resources from some of my other themes, so I dare not claim any originality. Download if you like it, or just leave it.:cowboy:

[Android Themes] raakaysh:
No reactions! That is why I am quitting making themes for MIUI. It has been months and no comments!
[Android Themes] pa.pn2:
why are you always straight frustrated just because people dont comment on your themes?

a few people including me thanked you for the theme, and since there is no comment it does not meen they dont like it

maybe its just perfect you did it?

you do really nice themes as usual, so stay keen dude;)
[Android Themes] Blinkin89:
Wow this looks cool. I found your topic thanks to google.

Weird that it didn't got reactions it looks beautiful, I'm definitely going to try this one on cMIUI.

I don't like all those pure dark themes. Makes me sad. This seems to be balanced.

Winter is coming to my country so any semi-bright theme like this one is welcome. :laugh:
[Android Themes] nighthawk626:
any word on the resident evil miui theme request? is it a no go?

I applied this theme on MIUI v4 3.2.22 on my Desire S and I can't call anyone, and anyone can't called me. Ring is ringing, but no srceen reactions, only info on notification bar to "back to call", but when I select it, it gives me black screen

How much did he charge if I can ask? Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
I was charged $20.80 that's including the shipping with tracking. That was before I found out about the zoarah website so if you ask him to price match and lower he might be able to do it.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jrwingate6:
Silver definitely would.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
For three buttons?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cleblanc92:
No no...3 STICKERS that go on the buttons :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tft:
20 dollars for this..lol. if anything i would prefer a recessed button for obvious reasons. i don't have sausage fingers :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
It is quite expensive for button stickers. I bought it just for the uniqueness of it. These arent cheap plastic stickers, it's metal.

I found the same bridge online for $5.99 free shipping. Match the price and ill buy.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
I have that one. It isn't metal, it is plastic, with a thin metalized layer on the top. Get the real one instead.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
Produced in the US but manufactured in Korea.....
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Novarider:
My thoughts exactly. I'm thinking this company just bought some US made aluminum and are using it to make these buttons.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] scarrmrcc:
being that manufacture is a definiton of produce ( http://www.thefreedictionary.com/produce ) i would say it is all just a load of BS to try to sell things.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
Some how from the first post to the latest post, the info somehow has changed, didn't it state in the first post that the material is from the US, and the buttons are manufactured in korea.

sounds pretty normal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
That doesn't sound too much of nice bridge of sale.... it's same price I paid.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bpark19:
This home button stickers made on the basis of the technology of GAGE, an American company specializing in aluminum which manufactures interior materials for automobiles like Benz, BMW, etc. they import the aluminum sheet from that company and develop aluminum parts for electronics(TV, Refrigerator etc) with SAMSUNG, LG etc. Recently, they launched mobile phone cases and home button stickers for iPhone 4/4S, Samsung Galaxy Note, S III
[Galaxy S III Accessories] graffixnyc:

Looks very interesting... Not very fond of the outlined/accented capacitive buttons tho.

I really wish these as well as the mercury screen protectors didn't print the capacitive buttons onto the screen protector at all honestly. I prefer to turn them off and use the on-screen buttons while remapping home to camera.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] keekah:
At least with the those, it looks like you have the option of not using the stickers for the capacitive buttons.

This is a ripoff.. use your button until it dies, enjoy your phone, then simply replace it with an OEM button here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Blue-Ma...069271?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c2a5182d7

4$ shipped, no need to waste your money on an "aluminium" STICKER.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
but if the home button dies, I'm pretty sure youd have to replace the ribbon cable not the physical button.

Aside from that, the amount of adhesive Samsung put on the digitizer/LCD, good luck getting the screen up to replace the button without destroying the screen. While doable, its not for the faint of heart.

Looked at the disassembly in detail when contemplating swapping my trim panel. Not realty worth the risk of damaging my screen since replacements run $180+. Tho, I may risk it once the Gunmetal trim panels from the Garnet GSIII panels become available. :P
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
Spoken like a true expert with full knowledge.

@Skander1998 please search on youtube for replacing damage screen, then you know how difficult it is to replace the button.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
This aluminium button came with a aluminium frame show in post 36, it's already gloss coated.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bpark19:
It is just decorative accessory for your device a stylish look. it is not associated with the home button replacement.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
lol... people don't read now days...

he's pointing out how difficult it is to replace the home button because Skander1998 said why waste on these aluminum home button that costs $20 when you can spend $4 to get actual home button. Obviously it ain't no click snap in procedure!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bpark19:
Yes, you are right lol..It should have been replied to the message regarding button replacement..He pointed out exactly like an expert. :)

fake celldeco home button

Hello everyone!!

Just want to share information on fake celldeco home button sticker with you guys. Somebody is selling fake button stickers for galaxy S3 and galaxy Note on eBay. Everything includes package, brand name, number of button and hologram sticker is exactly same. It also contains 3 buttons but is composed of one color ONLY(e.g, whole black) and the location of the hologram sticker is different with original. Attached product is fake one.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Skander1998:
That's a broken screen, removing the whole thing with the bezel is a matter of screws and you're done.

You only have to rip it all apart when changing the screen with the old bezel.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
You need to detach the screen from the bezel if you wish to change the home button since it is not accessible from behind the trim piece. It is sandwiched inbetween the two.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] chrischoi:
I suspect this is an advertisement...
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mrlow81:
Thanks for the warning...:good:
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
Apart from what you have mention, is there anything different, may be the company released a package with only one colour, and the position of the label doesn't mean it's fake, the sticker is hand applied so the position can be anywhere on the front.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] msgnyc:
Yeah, there really is no way to tell if they are real or not.

Especially when Celldeco doesn't even have GSIII butttons on their own website. Just iPhone and GSII.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Since you seem to know something we don't know, how about you post a step by step guide for us? Lol show us please!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] zen0s:
Since you keep insist talking this non sense without doing your research I did it for you.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_70-W9JjVjg&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Skip to 13:20 and see how the stock home button is placed. See if you think you can magically "unscrew" metal chassis, get between the screen and replace the button.

Like I said if you think you can do this share us your knowledge!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bpark19:
I am living in Korea and asked Celldeco company if it would be their product but they said that it is fake. The reason why I posted this message is to protect works and original ideas from infringement. They must spend much money and time on developing this item. It is the taking of another person's or company's property without permission or consent.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
I know all that about copyright stuff, I'm just asking whether that it can be proven that the items are fake, if you did ask the company that should be fine, but will not prevent anyone from purchasing them, real or fake I dont think people will bother if it has the same quality and does the same thing.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bpark19:
Yes, I agreed :).
[Galaxy S III Accessories] xXJay_RXx:
I wonder how this will work with the SGP Glas tempered glass screen protector. The home button will be a bit shallowed after the installation so I wonder if this will work nicely with the Glas
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
yes, it should work just fine.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bpark19:
Which color did you stick on it? Wanna see how it is on peddle blue..::confused:

Samsung launched in 4 new colors; "amber brown", "garnet red", titanium grey", and "sapphire black". Hope new button will be launched to keep up with new colors of GS3
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
my silver one looks good on pebble blue.

I believe SGP actually gives you a set of buttons for the recessed home button after you install the GLAS. They did it with the iPhone 4.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] bpark19:
It is not real Celldeco home buttons. I am very curious how could they made identical one using their brand and same package. I also found out same buttons on ebay and asked the Celldeco head office in Korea but they said that it is not their button. They developed 2 packages for GS3 only. One is white/silver/pink and the other one is black/white/red. Anyway, price is much cheaper than original one.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] kms108:
A friend of mine got the orignal one online, I didn't want to spend so much on it, I got the fake ones from shenzhen, and they look identical.

My friend don't have his s3 anymore so I cannot show any photo's, as for the fake one's I have photo's uploaded somewhere in here, ATM i've gave them all away to some members in this forum along with some rubber ones and crystal ones.

right now I'm using one that is silver in colour and it's the same size as the actual home button made by skinplayer, it came with a aluminum frame bezel.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prime046:
Hey there! Having a bit of trouble getting my wired Razer Onza Xbox 360 controller (Tournament Edition) working with the Nexus 7.

I was browsing through the forums for a bit and the user 'sleeplessninja' posted some information saying that each controller you plug in gives out a unique Product and Vendor ID. So your third party controllers give out a different ID compared to the official MS branded ones and whatnot.

I downloaded the file inside the thread and renamed it to the Onza's VID/PID, which ended up being Vendor_1689_Product_fd00.kl I put that in the directory /system/usr/keylayout/ and rebooted the tablet but it's still not doing anything! The four lights around the Xbox button in the middle just keep flashing over and over. I do have the official Xbox branded steering wheel controller, I plugged that in and it works flawlessly, but I really want to get my Razer Onza working!

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prime046:
Bump! Still no luck here so far.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prime046:
Just a little update, I've plugged in an official Xbox branded steering wheel controller and it works flawlessly, I've also tried a little $10 crabby USB keyboard, it works just fine too.

For some reason I just can't get this Razer Onza controller working! It's a bit frustrating.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prime046:
Just another quick bump for the day, I've made no progress at all. Controller just has the 4 green rings around the Xbox button in the middle flashing on and off, doesn't do anything other than that.

The official steering wheel controller has all 4 lights blinking as well, but after 2-3 seconds it only shows the top left light turned on indicating player 1's controller is ready and it works fine.

Again, from the first post I've tried to add the file with the Razer Onza's Product and Vendor ID but it hasn't seemed to do anything.
