[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
No, a firmware is just a stock Rom with stupid carrier apps and games baked in. Best thing is to root, do a nandroid backup of your stock firmware, then get happy flashing. Just read the threads and stick to Samsung based Roms until you are comfortable with what you are doing, it's a learning curve,, but a worthwhile one, another tip....explore the forum, look at the stickies, observe, listen and learn....and don't rush into anything....enjoy :D

After flashing CM10 and re-installing Dead Trigger, the graphics glitch out pretty badly. This is the only app/game that I have this issue with. Has anyone tried Dead Trigger on CM10 and had any issues? A re-install results in the same issue.

Have you tried chainfire?

Synergy-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnnyTToxic:
For what it's worth, I'm getting similarly crappy results on Synergy Nightly R52 even overclocked to 1.9ghz.

I was hoping it was something that happened in the newest update for the app and that they'd quickly release a fix for it in the play store.

Sniper_5 --- What do you mean by chainfire? All I see is that is an app developer. Is there a certain one of their apps you recommend or am I missing something (wrong chainfire)?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dsDoan:
Dead Trigger is compatible with the GSIII, so Chainfire isn't needed. Dead Trigger ran without issue on stock Touchwiz, but after I flashed CM10 and reinstalled the game, the graphics trip out. I'm trying to figure out if my install is corrupting and how to prevent that, or if its an issue that needs to be ironed out with CM10.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamidodger1:
Hey Guys

I Know you get quite a few people ask what I'm about to ask and yes I've searched but since the touch version of CMW has been declared dangerous at the moment I thought I'd ask.

I'm Currently on "N7000CPWLP5" Stock ICS and I want to install "KingDroid ICS NoteMania v7.3"

1. What recovery is safe to use to install?

2. Do I need to flash a different ROM or GB before going to "KingDroid ICS NoteMania v7.3"?

3. Can I just Copy the ZIP over, boot into stock recovery, use some zip of CMW, reboot recovery, do a Nandroid backup, wipe data/factory reset, install from zip, select "KingDroid ICS NoteMania v7.3" then install? Or is it different on the note (Previously knowledge from previously owned ZTE Blade)

Thanks

DO NOT use that temp recovery, best is first root using new method in dr.ketan's thread and then flash custom ICS kernel using mobile odin, it will also install cwm recovery to your device and then you can flash Kingdroid using cwm recovery.

You can also root and flash cwm recovery together by flashing custom kernel using pc odin if you can handle yellow triangle :)

I've used it before it was unknown to damage/brick but luckily I was safe!

After rooting via flashing a custom kernel of your choice, you can download Triangle Away from the Google Play Store to get rid of the yellow triangle, if you cannot bear the sight of it! ;)

If you guys are looking for a decent turn-based strategy game you can grab Uniwar HD for free off of the Amazon app store today. If you want to take a look at a quick overview/review you can check out the link here.

If you want to go directly to the Amazon Store here's the link for the application.

It's a pretty fun game that will remind you of mobile strategy games for other mobile consoles and platforms. Fortunately, the game looks pretty good even on a 10" screen. For free, it's a pretty great game (considering it's normally $5 on the Play Store).

You can check out some of my screenshots below (taken on the Note in portrait, but the game also scales perfectly for landscape).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesst20:
Hi,

I was wondering how can Android 4.1.1 use around 580MB-600MB of Ram with everything closed ? I even tried to wipe all my data/apps.. Still always at 580MB (around). My iPad 2 has 512 MB Of ram and always have 256MB available. (Means the system use around 256MB too). Is it normal that Android use twice the ram iOS would?

If not can it be fixed? If yes can it be improved?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atticusmas:
Free ram is wasted ram. Your device is supposed to use all the ram it can.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smt8544:
Your Nexus 7 has double the amount of RAM than your iPad 2. It may as well be used!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Don't worry about free ram space. The android system manages ram really well.

Clears processes if your using ar am intensive app.

Since the memory is not being used it may as well make your nexus7 smoother.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exabrial:
Hey guys,

I'm looking for a Rom:

Must Haves:

ICS/FH13

Favors stability over good looks

The Google version of voice recognition where it types as you speak

Swype keyboard

Optional

Better battery life than stock

USB Mass Storage

That's all that's really important to me. I'm not looking for bleeding edge, I just want something that has swype and Google's verison of voice recognition with the red circle.

Does this ring a bell to anyone? Thank you!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] exabrial:
I realize that part of my question is a dumb question... Turns out Google Voice Typing _is_ included on latest ICS Stock rom. The crap part is, swype doesn't integrate with it, so hitting the microphone button takes you to the old school voice recognition prompt :(

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longschlongsilver:
Hey, i'm new. Just made this account to get help with my nook. Anyway i'll just tell you all what happened because i don't know much about it.

There's two problems i have with it. 1 - Can't sync my google account and 2 - Can't get past the boot animation, keeps re-booting

BTW just got the nook color second hand yesterday, he said it had Android 2.2? on it, not too sure. He also said he did a factory reset on it, hence me trying to link my google account etc. As of right now, i'm not sure if it is rooted or has a ROM? or anything, i just want it going again.

Problem 1 - It was going fine and I was setting it up with the android start up thingy on the screen, but no matter what I tried I couldn't sync my google account with it to get on the android store. I could go on the internet and gmail etc fine, just nothing that needed a google account synced. I tried the usual fix of signing into YouTube using the gmail account but this still didn't link the device to my google account.

Problem 2 - Just last night when I was reading a book on it, it shut off randomly, I thought thats odd because it was like half battery, so I plugged it in via usb. Now whenever I plug it in to usb. It reboots and reboots and reboots. It shows the touch the future of reading logo, then a grey n, then the screen flashes yellow for a split second. It goes to a screen saying it is installing a new software update, but would cut out part way through and re-start the reboot loop. When i unplug it from the power it shuts off and wont turn on. I tried a factory reset and this started, but when it finished 'clearing data' it cut out and restarted the boot loop. As i'm typing it's next to me continuously re-booting.

Please help!! I'm a noob and need guidance haha.

But seriously thanks to anyone who helps

[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
It could be trying to do a self repair of / rom and failing. Read about that in my tips thread linked in my signature. Look at item A12.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longschlongsilver:
Thanks for the reply. I think i've got nook version 1.1. thats what it said before it started the boot loop. I'm just wondering what i need to flash to the sd card?

Thanks
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
Make yourself a bootable CWM card as in my item A10. Then you can flash whatever you want. A new stock 1.4.3 as I said in A12 or partition repairs as I said in my partition repair thread. Or CM roms. Or the romrestore repair zip. Lots of possibilities.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longschlongsilver:
So I make the CWM card. If i flash the stock 1.4.3 is that how it comes originally? Then can i root it from there, then CM7 etc? And is that all compatible with the 1.1 version? sorry for all the questions. and thanks so much! Any ideas on syncing a google account once i get it going?

Cheers
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
If you want to run stock, flash the 1.4.3 zip that I linked to. It is B&N's lastest version of stock (newer than 1.1) that I modified so it can be flashed with CWM. Then go to Manual Nooter 5.02.19. That will root you and allow you to install other apps.

Or if you want CM, just flash the version you want followed by the appropriate gapps zip. You do not need to update stock first, just flash away.

It is a good idea when switching types of roms to wipe first. You can flash my format 5,6,7 zip to wipe if you want.

Edit: After rereading your first post, you must get out of your bootloop before you can run anything. Just flashing a new rom may not fix it. If it does, great, but you may need to flash some repair zips first. And if you wipe, that may fix your Google login issues.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] longschlongsilver:
Sorry for my noobness but what does flash and wipe mean? Never done this before. I just got an sd card reader thing so i can write things on it with win32 disk imager. So to get out of the boot loop i have to flash? a repair zip? I had a look on the help post of yours, would 'NookColor-emmc-stockrecovery-CWM5504asAlt.zip' work? and do i write the whole zip file on the sd card without extracting anything? then what would i do? just turn it on? sorry once again you're a huge help
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leapinlar:
The first thing you do is unzip the file cwm-5.5.0.4-bootable_SD.zip. That will give a file about 200MB in size with a .img file name. Use win32diskimager to burn that .img file to your SD. Then that card can be used to copy (flash) things to your internal memory to either fix it or put new roms on it. If you put that card in the nook and boot up from a powered off state, the CWM program should start. You can use that to put new things on your internal memory.

Wipe means to format or erase things. Sometimes it is important to wipe what is already there before you try to put new things on.

Given your description of the problem, I would burn the CWM to SD, copy the zip named romrestore-CWMflashable.zip to the SD with your PC, put the SD in the nook, boot and the CWM menu should come up. Select "install zip from SD" and hit the n button. Then select "choose zip from SD" and hit n. Then scroll to the file you copied and hit n. Confirm the choice and CWM will begin it's thing. Watch for error messages. If it completes successfully, power off and remove the SD and see if it will boot. If it does boot successfully, you just repaired it. If it did not repair it, go to my partition repair thread and try some of those repair zips using the same technique.

If you were successful with the repairs, you can use the CWM SD to flash new roms to internal memory (stock or CM). Don't forget to wipe first if you do. An easy, surefire way to wipe is to flash my format 5-6-7 zip on my tips thread.

[myTouch 4G General] silex.usa:
I am moving to a new phone with ICS and my current MyTouch 4G OS is stock Gingerbread. Are different flavored APKs pushed from the Market depending on your OS flavor? If I restore the APKs from Titanium Backup to my new phone will there be any issues? Am I better off downloading the apps over again and only restoring the data from Titanium Backup that I really need (like game saves)? Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 4G General] THEindian:
It should work, use it on apps that you actually need. Worst case senario is that the app doesn't work and you have to reinstall so i would say go for it.
[myTouch 4G General] Falzo:
Apps restored from a GB rom to an ICS one have been known to cause issues when we first started getting ICS. I would suggest downloading all apps from the market, but restore data from your Ti backup to avoid problems. It's what I do when switching from CM7 ta any ICS that I want to try.
[myTouch 4G General] dead-zon:
Just try it with some apps and if it works it works. if not just download and restore the date as it was mentioned.

Okay so I'm coming from the galaxy nexus. Unlocking and rooting was one easy click on this device.

I know there are tons of topics out there for root and unlock but which is the easiest working way for windows. And what order do you have to do things in? Cuz nexus you unlock then root.

I basically want to unlock and root my s3 and get clockwork on there or twrp once I first turn on my device.

I'm coming from trinity kernels for color correction and stuff. What's a good kernel for the s3? And is there a way to change dpi on stock rom? Because on gnex I rock 240 dpi. Easier to see things for me.

I'm pumpedddd ahhhh

I would first recommend backing up your IMEI which you can find a thread for...then with EZ unlock and EZ recovery you can unlock your S3 and flash CWM. Then flash away.
