[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chepa1986:
I have been wondering, to flash my S II with custom 4.1 Jelly Bean ROM just to try.

By doing this, my phone will no longer receive the official OTA updates.

So, is there any way to get back to the official updates back, I mean, it will be great to receive the OTA updates later on.

Thanks......

I just tried one of these this was the easiest most pronominal protector I have used it was very easy to install no alignment issues no air bubbles at all the only advice i would offer is make sure you run the roller in one even pass so you don't get any lines in the screen but if you do the lines go away in a day or 2.

If the kit is reusable then that's the only thing I can see to justify this high of a price, if I were to need a new protector(on the same phone) but decided to purchase from say Skinomi for example would I be able to place it in the box and apply it in the way as the kit does?

Side note:it just infuriates me how nearly all companies have to use iPhones as their tutorial phones all the time it seems very biased(I think that's the right word there:rolleyes::p)

Is it possible to remove unwanted applications like google+ etc which come with stock ICS? I am running it with speedmod kernel and root.

Yes, you can remove all such apps, just check this thread for list of apps you can uninstall and then either delete ".apk and .odex file" for that particular app from system/app using root explorer or use titanium backup.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagothe9:
Here is my question: I have a SGS i9000 with froyo 2.2 stock and cf-root, by flashing cf-root i gained obviously root but also the recovery 2e that should be without signature verification. Now if i want to install CM7.2 can i just install it via recovery 2e by renaming it update.zip? or i will brick the phone? On Cm official wiki page about installing they say you need to have gingerbread installed but i'm on mac and i can't flash a gb rom because heimdall is not detecting the file, i also tried with a linux partition on my mac but it did not worked. to get root i used first z4root and then mobile odin to flash cf root with recovery 2e.

thanks in advance to who will help me!

PS: I also have a I9001(see signature) but the phone for wich i'm asking is a i9000!

download KIES for Mac from My Android collections link below, and upgrade your phone to Gingerbread 2.3.6 (KIES will do it automatically) than root it with a semaphore kernel to get CWM, before going on to ICS and than to JB...should be done in this manner , do not jump from GB to JB ( you will have less problems)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagothe9:
ok i will try it, but kies from samsung site is not working at all. and moreover i have this problem, i just want to go from froyo to CyanogenMod 7.2 (android 2.3.6 GB). without any intention to go to ICS or JB. Second thing, if i manage to update from kies then heimdall is going to recognise it? Because if not i can't flash semaphore. Last thing i should uroot the device to update from kies right?

Many thanks for your help!

new information: I have installed your version of kies, and it finally recognise the phone, but it say that the device do not support update via kies, what can i do? thanks

Second edit: i researched and now i know the problem is that i cf-rooted my phone. so how could i revert? to cf-root i have used mobile odin after gained SU with z4root. i would had avoided to flash that if i had know that today kies were to recognise my phone! please help me lso if it was a noob mistake.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsenman:
Ok, since you have installed KIES and working , heimdall should also be working, IF not you can download a latest heimdall mac version, from earlier link to update to ginger bread 2.3.6, before CM..also backup efs. contacts, images etc first, IF you have CWM, you can even do a nandroid backup, before any upgrade .

Always best to do progressive upgrade as it will not complicate the upgrade by jumping from froyo to CM ( which is a custom ROM) . Best to READ the developers Flashing guidelines before upgrade too.

Flashing the gingerbread ROM will automatically remove your earlier CF root, just download your original Firmware for your region from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1102881 , than use a semaphore Kernel from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1112908 this will give you root plus CWM for you to upgrade to CM 7.2

Do not jump, as you need Gingerbread bootloaders for upgrade to CM
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dagothe9:
Solved!

Ok the problem was with froyo secondary bootloader, that is not recognised by heimdall if connected to a mac, nor to a VM Linux on the same mac. so i had borrowed my neighbour's netbook with windows 7. installed heimdall there and everything went smoothly. Firstly i have flashed a new GB rom, 2.3.6, the newer eropean one, then flashed CF-root for that rom with integrated CWM 3.x.x.x. The only problem was that when i flashed from cwm CM7.2.0 i hade a boot loop, so i had to swith off the fone by long pressing the power botton, then i booted in recovery, now the recovery was cwm 5.x.x.x so i wiped data/factpry reset and wiped cache, from the new cwm 5.x.x.x reinstalled CM7.2.0's zip and the latest gapps, booted again and everything went smooth from there.

Thanks for your help!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dookert:
Hey all,

So I recently wanted to flash my phone with the Vicious Jellybean 4.1 ROM to try it out. I am currently running a rooted and deodexed stock kernel ROM running 4.0.4

I followed the instructions starting with a factory wipe and reset as per the first instruction after a nandroid backup

Upon rebooting my status bar and soft keys had disappeared, rendering the phone close to useless. I believe that this is part of the problem though. My phone has custom softkeys setup for it using MMZT_softkeys_stock2.0. So there is a custom android themes folder along with the appropriate XML file and PNG resource pictures.

Would the custom softkeys be causing this to happen? Why would this affect my status bar after doing a factory wipe and reset? I am afraid that until I figure this out I wont be able to flash any new ROM's without losing both the status bar and soft keys

Any help is appreciated

This was created to give people an overall view of how these two tablets perform doing similar tasks and to aid in giving you a better view for those curious about these two tablets. These devices are best of the best compared to the rest of the Android tablets in the market today. Both appeal to the masses. Which one you go for is completely up to your needs. Hopefully this will help out the people still undecided.

[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
Thanks so much for taking the time to put those together. I'd say general use and YouTube in a browser were pretty comparable. You can see the TF700 stuttering some in the other browser tests and the Netflix test. You pulled up HBO GO and XDA from your favorites without clearing the cache first which makes a difference. They’re both very content heavy sites and having to load all that content initially is a lot of work for the browser and h/w.

In the end they are both great devices, neither without compromises. And a lot of people would never consider the Note because of the lower res display and lack of options like the extended battery via the dock, the dock itself, and additional ports. It’s great to have choices.

P.S. – The empty space on your home screens makes me feel embarrassed by the clutter of mine. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
On HBOGO, every time i cleared data and all, I would have to resign in. How are you able to go through hbogo without having to sign in? So The only difference with my video to yours was after I had cleared all I signed in and closed it. Then ran the comparison. Xda I had bookmarked but I cleared all data to it. So nothing different from your video. I'll do another test on the XDA video with me clearing everything. I apparently did not video that part.

.....

I removed my 35 widgets after the comparison. I don't like to much stuff going on:)
[Asus Transformer TF700] BarryH_GEG:
You don't have to do that. Samsung's always done a better job than everyone else at optimizing their browsers. As an example, the Exynos SGS3 eats my Teg3 One X's lunch at every browsing benchmark and their screen resolution is almost identical. The TF700's at a disadvantage right from the start because of the additional pixels its pushing. The browsing performance of the TF700 is close to or even behind the TF300 in some tests because of that. It's the price you pay for that clear text and those pretty pictures. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] opentoe:
Yep, I'm here again. I guess no one seems to have mentioned about audio here at all. Not one peep about it. As I've said MANY times before you'll notice the speaker placement of the Infinity. You may need your glasses to actually see that small, tiny, little speaker that is ON THE BACK of the tablet facing AWAY from you so you really can't hear it.

The Samsung's REAL speakers are right on the front facing you and they happen to be real stereo seperation since they are actually seperated. The sound compared is night and day. While you need to keep the Infinity's speaker volume on max all the time just to hear it a little you'll really appreciate the Samsung's speaker quality and placement. Everyone is so hooked up on video and forgot all about audio.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
I hardly use the internal speakers. When I do I just use Volume+ and problem solved. I don't need to even have the volume set to max barely 40% is loud enough. Most of the time I use my LG Tone - HBS-700 BT Headset. I like the idea of being able to go to the next room and hear what I'm listening to in private and my kids hearing inappropriate things when I watch my movies or anime is avoided completely. I also have an portable BT speaker that has rechargeable Li-ion battery that aids in long road trips to extend the battery life of my tablet since I'm not using its internal speakers. You would be amazed of how little I use the internal speakers for listening. Internal speakers/Volume is no issue for me.

I understand what your saying though... The Notes 10.1 speakers are pretty darn nice!

....................

Which is also why I'm assuming you don't hear much talk about speakers being a huge hindrance.

(I like how you made some of your words in CAPS;))

[Asus Transformer TF700] opentoe:
The last thing I want to do is carry around external block speakers with my $600 tablet. It is a little funny to me. Most people that buy the Asus Infinity tablet will go about and buy a keyboard for it, along with external speakers. They are trying to make it right into a laptop. The thing they are used to. We all know one day we'll be able to run Android on an Intel PC. One day.

Hi,

I live in Canada and have my GN with Bell. I've been stuck on 4.0.1 since I got the phone; no updates were ever available.

Recently, I had to get my phone repaired and gave it in to the Samsung place here and when I got it back, it was updated to 4.1.1 (I attached a pic of the info)

I just wanted to ask you guys if all the info there looks good/correct. Also, not really sure how the tech managed to update it since nothing was ever available...

On another note, I was wondering if any of you could direct me to rooting methods (preferably on mac) / ways to change to yakju (also preferably on mac) on the version of the phone I have now... I searched and saw a bunch of different methods and whatnot, but I'm terrified to choose a potentially "wrong" one.

Thanks!

yakjuux JRO03C ROM

Here is the link to the ROM: http://d-h.st/mOR

This is a CWM backup created in CWM 5.5.0.2. To install it, extract (uzing 7zip) the contents to your /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup directory, i.e., you should have a folder with 6 files in it like this: /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/2012-08-29.15.49.28/

Not that this is completely stock (no root, no custom recovery), so you will need to re-flash your custom recovery, and "re-root" if you want.

Enjoy, and thanks again jz687.

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

RIL stands for radio interface layer. It is the part of the ROM that communicates with the radio.

As with radio performance of various radios, the benefit of flashing a different RIL is debatable. Some say that having a RIL that matches your radio gives you better battery life and performance. Others say not. I guess try it and see.

Any reason for a Canadian on 4.1.1 yakju to flash the new baseband? I haven't noticed any problems with XXLF1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
As with any radio, if it works for you, probably no real reason to change. Some folks like to try different ones, and apparently the UGLC1 radio was a good performer for many.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dr Tone:
I found XXLF1 didn't perform well in areas of poor coverage. At our family farm where reception is marginal, XXLF1 would drop and have trouble reaquirring. Sometimes only a reboot would get it back.

UGLC1 performed much better, didn't drop as much and always recovered much faster.

I'll test out UGLH1 when I go back next week. I'm hoping for even better results, but only time will tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] greeced:
I wonder if there would be any advantage for any of us Canadian yakju converts to switch back to yakjuux.

I mean, if the radio is better, Wi-Fi hopefully better, and a few other things, maybe it would be worth the switch back.

After all, we could always switch back to Key Lime Pie yakju, should it come out
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Quidlor:
Thanks efrant. Is there any faq on installing, backing up, and restoring the RIL? I'm currently using UGLC1 and tried UGLH1 with just speed tests and compared. UGLH1 performed a lot worse on Telus than UGLC1. I wouldn't mind trying the RIL for it but not sure the quick and dirty for restoring existing RIL for UGLC1.

Thanks for your help! Appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
You can just flash the radio with out going to yakjuux.
