Guys,

All of my themes were converted by the 2.11.30 theme manager to the new format, but now i ended up with only 2 visible themes.

I have more than 1 GB of theme data which is now useless.

Is there any way i can get back my old themes which are still present in the theme folder and not visible in themes ?

Thanks :)

Anyone know exactly how MIUI is going about adapting JB? I know that when they get the source for I9100 they will switch to JB, but isn't the official source for I9100 out now?? Or at least certain countries have it I'm assuming..does anyone know the specifics of how they're adopting it? Cus I'd like to know exactly how long I have to wait for legit MIUI JB hah

I know I'm not the only one, we had android devices previous to this.. we had Charging LED's and when Charged.

I've noticed the nexus does not do this.. is there a way to do this? Its one feature I really do miss from my Incredible :(

Light flow did not work so if that's my only option then I'm screwed I guess?

Also sometimes it seems the notification system is a bit screwy, this has been on various ROMs. Is this just a nexus quirk?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alton (Halo 2):
I'm also wondering why it doesn't have led lights to show when charging . How are we gonna know its chargin !

Hmm interesting.. thanks! I also loved the charging led. It at least makes me less worried that my phone is still working lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Light Flow does charging/charged indicators.

I figured the USB cable plugged into your phone would give you a good indication of it charging though :p .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Unless it was updated? When I used it, it didn't show the LEDs but when I tested it, it did work.

Anyway.. I know being plugged in seems like notification enough but its a small peeve of mine and Assures me lol that it is doing its job. I'm tough on cords and usually from being constantly bended it loses connection.. then it doesn't charge and then turns into this huge hassle. If I had a charging led and charged led I would worry a lot less.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siratfus:
I see the H+ symbol on my data speed intermittently in Las Vegas with my International Note. A few minutes, then it's gone, it comes and goes. There was a point at about 4am in the morning where I had it for a good 30 minutes. Can someone explain why that is? I thought the International version is only capable of EDGE on t-mobile. Is there a hack or root that can give me H+ in Southern California?

Please advise, thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtranvi:
A friend told me that tmobile is quietly rolling out 1900mhz in select areas. I'm guessing this is why you sometimes get H+ speeds on the note, which doesn't officially get it nationwide on tmobile network. It's good news but it doesn't mean you will have 3g or better speeds everywhere.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
several factors could be the cause

If network has fast dormancy and its switched on(default) then the phone will role back to lower speeds until you actively use network again. It is then a feature :) not a bug.

Could be reception of data network in city theoretically reception could be lost/weakened by buildings, moving or standing still traffic, etc. Anything from cell tower reach to phone to anything obstructing the radio waves.

Could be battery saving app

Could be settings on phone to conserve battery

Could be buggy modem

etc

Given these you can eliminate. If you battery and speed when using network is not adversely reacted then ignore :)

edit: roaming on other network could also be a cause. Best switch that off(is default off)

I had to call to activate my nexus for straightalk becuase I needed to change the zip code associated with my number to be able to transfer my minutes to my nexus. It has been well over 24 hours of me waiting for my first phone to stop working so I could finally get my nexus to work, and I have called straight talk about this only to find out my number doesnt exist on their network and neither does the $45 dollar card. Does anyone know what might have went wrong here? I am pretty irritated because I have been waiting for this switch for a month only to find out something went wrong.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deleted member 4529355:
Before installing these fonts you must make a backup of the fonts folder (the entire folder), then if you no longer want the fonts just copy-paste the fonts folder. I don't know whats wrong with ICS but the fonts can only be changed once or twice, then they no longer change so make a copy of the folder before installing these.

Flashable Zip
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RamEsRock:
In few words:

You make a zip file with the order of how the files go.

You make an updater-script which are the instructions for CWM to flash the correct order.

You sign it and that's it.

Everything is in the tutorial XperienceD posted.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcsuser:
IM sorry but im kinda slow... in the "Flashable Clockwork Mod (CWM) zip:"

TO UNDERSTAND UR GUIDE I OPEN SOME SCRIPT TO GET AN IDEA BUT I FOUND SOME LINES THAT IS NOT INCLUDED IN YOUR EXAMPLE.

LIKE THESE:

show_progress(1.000000, 0);

set_progress(0.125000);

mount("MTD", "system", "/system");

package_extract_file("fix_permissions", "/tmp/fix_permissions");

set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/fix_permissions");

WHAT IS show_progress(1.000000, 0); AND set_progress(0.125000); ??

I GUESS mount("MTD", "system", "/system") IS THE SAME AS run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system"); ??

AND ALSO GUESS THAT package_extract_file("fix_permissions", "/tmp/fix_permissions"); AND set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/fix_permissions"); IS FOR THE PERMISSIONS, IF U HAVE IN UR ZIP RIGHT?

I DONT REALLY UNDERSTAND THOSE OR I CAN JUST IGNORE THEM?
[LG Optimus 2x] yathaid:
Hey Guys,

I have an unlocked lg optimus 2x. I have been using it with att 4g for the past year or so. I just switched to t-mobile prepaid, but I cannot get the 4g to work. I am always on 2G.

What gives? If there is anyone who has this working can you please let me know your baseband, RIL and APN settings? Not sure which will solve my problem :)
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
If y our o2x is anything like mine, it probably doesn't have the right radio frequencies to use tmobile's "4g" (actually hspa+). I wrote about this before:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=26857353

And fwiw, mine is BB1120 with matching ril.

Edit: adding screenshot of my apn settings

[LG Optimus 2x] luka2858:
lg supports 4g? didnt know that.
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
Yes, lg does. There is lg Optimus LTE.

But this lg Optimus 2x doesn't.

The t-mobile usa's 4G isn't a true 4G, as I mentioned above.
[LG Optimus 2x] luka2858:
Thanks for the explanation.
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
I can confirm that the O2X doesn't support the radio bands for T-Mobiles HSPA+ (which they dub 4G)

I had a flatrate during my vacation and had to deal with edge all the time ^^
[LG Optimus 2x] aragorn7:
Yup. The phone lacks 1700 frequency to work on T mobile "4G"

[LG Optimus 2x] yathaid:
T-mobile 4g settings

Ah son of a gun! I just got on a t-mobile prepaid monthly thing, well that's the end of that. I thought t-mobile had the G2X natively, so they would definitely support HSPA+ on their network. (An epic D'oh moment for me here :( )

In the usa 4g doesn't refer to the speed its referring to fourth generation wireless technology. Its confusing but as far as speed its more like 3.5g

Yeah I'm on stock rom just rooted an cwm. Can I flash this zip an since I don't have synergy, where will the backup be stored?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
Worked on CM10.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Travisimo:
I'm all for redundancy of backups, so here's hoping this method fully works when restoring. I have not experience a loss of IMEI myself, but I definitely want to be safe. I know the original efs backup method was proven to be an incomplete backup, but I thought the QPST NV backup method was proven to work? Are you saying that restoring with tthe QPST method (where you have an NV backup before you lose IMEO) does not work and will still having roaming issues?

At any rate, it will be interesting to see if this is the "one true backup" to rule them all for IMEI. ;) So basically, you flash the zip in recovery and it creates another zip with the backed up contents. And in the event of an IMEI loss, you just flash the new zip and should be good to go? At least, that's the theory, right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
You nailed it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nyjumpman:
Nice, I'm assuming this is similar to what the Synergy ROM team is now including?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Its the same. Just a standalone version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekrhino:
Confirmed successful backup using CWM.

I can confirm this backup method works using CWM.

I first tried it with TWRP via Goo Manager and the script didn't execute properly.

I tried flashing the file while still in TWRP and I couldn't even find the zip file anywhere, user error I'm guessing.. lol.

So I flashed CWM over TWRP via ROM Manager PRO and flashed the zip file with CWM via ROM Manager PRO and the zip script executed nicely. I found the backed up zip file where the OP said it would be.

Here's to hoping I never have to use the backed up file, but it's good to know I have it there if needed.

Thanks again OP!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WildZontar:
This should work regardless of ROM as it is a recovery zip. I've tested it with CWM: I've never used TWRP so I don't know how well it would work in TWRP.

I've tested a backup successfully on full stock, rooted. The backup will be stored in a folder called "synergyrom" but this just the name the tool gives to the directory (as the tool was created by the Synergy team) and has no impact on function or dependency on SynergyROM.

QPST method is not perfect; it is better than a simple IMEI injection, but the boot bug writes crap over much more than just the IMEI. This is why either method may leave you on roaming (althogh a QPST restore only sporadically causes roaming). In addition, various DRM keys may be erased as well, leaving you potentially unable to play back HDCP/PlayReady titles; QPST does not restore these.

That's correct. When you "flash" the backup zip, nothing actually is written to the ROM as far as I can tell; it runs just like a script/batch file and saves your backup zip to /sdcard/synergyrom. The tool itself creates a new flashable zip in this directory, one that does modify your unit, which you can then use only in the event that the bootloader craps up the NVRAM.

Excellent to hear there is now a fix that doesn't require a backup!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
So please explain. Do we not need to do any backup now or we still need to do one of the backup processes? I have been holding off rooting my device until I know there is a fail safe for this and want to make sure I understand correctly...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
I would still make a backup as instructed in the OP. That way you can fix yourself on the go too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
Thanks, so if we were to lose our IMEI, would we need to run the restore and then the tool, or should we just run the tool and that should bring it back as well as get rid of the R.

I guess what I am not sure is if the tool just removes the R after we restore the backup we take. Also, I know a lot of people have made backups with QPST. Is it safe to assume that form of a backup is not needed? Will do it if I have to but these other 2 in this thread seem much quicker.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] con247:
Just do everything in the OP and consider the new fixing application a last resort.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jay Evans:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
its stored on the two blocks that originally had the corrupt backup from samsung. this basically rewrites those two blocks with a good backup. so you should never actually lose your imei once a nvbackup is performed(before its lost ofcourse).

I lost my phone number when flashing CM10 just now. My IMEI is still in tact though. I performed the IMEI backup to create a .zip a couple weeks ago. Will running this restore my phone number?
