Yes its six months old but I just came across the problem. Is there a way to make the pictures show. Yes I am a NOOB because this is my fist skyrocket..I did CWM..rooted...unlocked and flashed to Jelly bean 4.2.2 Nightly and just flashed to a stable 4.1.2 jelly bean and got the same problem. What could cause it..i changed the radio to unlock it but I updated it to UXUMA7..took out the echo problem...fixed permissions...my kenel is 3.0.49 cymod 2012 and my most recent build is jelly bean 4.1.2 JZO54K eng...had a recent build but switch to see if camera problem would stop...so please help this noob become less of a noob by helping or giving him the answer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mtdew:
Why on gods green earth did you flash back to 4.1.2 it's hardly any more stable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MontyMontie:
Because I wanted to try another rom...couldn't go forward so I had to go back...O_O

---------- Post added at 06:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:44 AM ----------

Solved the problem....don't know how but I 1. reflashed back to 4.2.2 cleared and factory reset a couple of times before starting up...reinstalled a couple of times too. When I went to the camera. I said no to adding my location to picture...O_O....then took a picture. Everything came out ok. So I solved it on my own as usual....I rarely ask for help but when I do why do you guys alway jump on the NOOB wagon. Everyone of us have been there because you are not born an expert you have to learn by trial and error...anyways i can't say it was completely on my own...by reading the post and finding out what not to do I got it. XDA is one of the best site and developers I know.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Longball:
Have a newb question fellas. I have an android backup of my system that I keep pretty current. Backup was made with CWM. If after installing what appears to be a very reliable ROM, will the recovery provided with the BluKuban allow me to restore to my original rooted Gingerbread ROM ??

I've often heard the expression that "you get on the train or get run over by it" ..... I really want to stay up to date with all the ICS progress but I am sooo paranoid about not being able to get back to where I started if I have any problems. Any advice or encouragement to just go for it appreciated. Thanks to all of you for all you do. If it weren't for you folks I wouldn't be rooted right now enjoying the hell out of my Epic4GT.

Peace and Love
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DaMan90:
Nope have to be in the same recovery and since the rom is different it can't be done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rovar:
You could however flash the recovery you used to make the backups and then wipe and restore the nandroid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
This is completely false. Yes you can restore a Nandroid. It will contain the kernel used to make the Nandroids., and the Kuban kernel is a safe recovery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Thank you for stopping the misinformation train :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Longball:
Thank you for the response. I now have one foot on the platform and one foot on the train. Ravaged Phoenix I appreciate the response.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rujelus22:
True, you can restore a backup from the recovery, why would the version you are restoring make any difference?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
I understand the idea behind the Development and Original development forum names, but they still don't seem to be helpful at all.

I suggest naming them something like "HTC EVO 4G LTE Sense based Development" and "HTC EVO 4G LTE ASOP based Development".
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
There are sense based ROMS with Original development....so that doesnt work.

Saying only AOSP ROMS contain original development shows a general lack of understanding what goes into making all of those tweaks available to us on sense ROMS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] s0calstate0fmind:
Fine the way it is

Try and be reasnbl

:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
He didn't say that though, did you read his post?

I agree with OP. It would be nice to have some organization in the forums. The AOSP section wouldn't be that big but that's all I really care about development-wise anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
There's only 2 or 3 AOSP ROMs. They don't need their own section. Its real easy to tell whats sense and whats AOSP by just looking at the title.

And while OP didnt explicitly state that sense ROMS don't have original development, that seems to be whats implied here, which is the argument that is made in other threads.

The original development section is there to highlight devs who have contributed above and beyond the norm. Its there to easily recognize whats original and whats modified stock. Go to the EVO 4G forums... they are a mess anytime there is a new OTA with multiple people releasing a stock ROM with the same tweaks.

I'm not saying its the best method, but its better than what was suggested.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
it was better with one dev section... 2 is just a pain in the a$$..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
There are only a couple so far, but official CM support could cause that number to go up. I know how the original section works, as I have been one of the people pushing it the most and explaining it to people who didn't understand it. I just think there's a better way and that we should experiment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] A_Flying_Fox:
I was confused as well when I came to this section... why is there 2? Everything is fine in one section lol a [cm10] or [AOSP BASED] tag in the rom name makes it stand out enough lol I dun get it, what kind of roms go into original and what kind goes into regular?

Isn't all modifications considered "original"?

What if you use someone elses mods but bake it into. An all in oone rom? Its not original cuz you didn't make any of the mods so would it go in regular? Or maybe it is considered original cuz he baked it all in one?

Real curious lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
Instead of typing up my usual wall of text, I'll just give you this link.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
If it was as easy as you think it is, why are there so many people who can't figure out that you can't flash a Sense kernel to an AOSP ROM? That is just an example. There really is a lot of confusion and many, many other examples.

Yes, it is easy for you and I, but we are clearly the exception, not the rule.

I am experienced and know what is what, but I have to weed through a lot of crap to see anything useful.

I did not imply anything about what is original or not. Don't read into what I write. I am always very clear and specific.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
That has almost nothing to do with what I said. I am not talking about what is original or not. That would be someone's opinion.

I am suggesting a simple system. A ROM is either modified from an existing ROM or it is compiled from code.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
That is precisely my point. The way it is now has good and bad points but I think it could be better and simpler.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Unreasnbl:
Just for fun, go to the Original Development section and objectively look at all the titles. There are not very many threads titled is such a way as you suggest they are.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cruise350:
I think they should spit development into ROMS and everything else. I've tried the so called original sense roms, besides being heavily themed whats original about them? They have even borrowed some of the so called non original rom features. 4x5 rosie would be an example. That was a meanrom original but it isn't classified as original. Its all a bunch of ego wagging with the way the threads are organized.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
In before lock...

I don't really mind the current setup, now that I'm used to it. But if it were me, I would have a forum for root methods, a forum for roms and a forum for kernels.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ejness:
I've always been able to restore my corporate gmail account using TiBu by restoring the Accounts system data when going from Froyo to GB, or GB to ICS. However, for some reason, when I restore to JellyBean it does not work. TiBu doesn't report an error, but the account isn't there after the restore. I'm sure it's a compatibility issue of some kind, but does anyone out there know how to do this?

Thanks!!

[EDIT] Turns out TitaniumBackup kept restoring my accounts.db file to data\system, which is probably where every Android OS has kept it pre-JellyBean. I did some searching through this folder and found another accounts.db file in data\system\users\0 folder. This .db file had only my personal gmail account listed in it, so I knew that this is the one the phone was using because the TiBu backup one I restored would have had my work gmail account also in it, which wasn't showing up on the phone at all. I renamed the active one in data\system\users\0 to accounts.db.old, and then coppied the one that TiBu restored to data\system to data\system\users\0 folder. Rebooted and I had my work gmail account restored!! If anyone's wondering why I had to restore the work gmail account, it's because the password is encrypted and I don't know it. So, when switching ROMs, I would always have to restore the "Accounts" data from TiBu to regain access to this account.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Did you go to menu settings, account & sync and try adding the Gmail account?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ejness:
Yes. The problem is, it's an account through my employer and I don't know the password. So, the credentials are stored in the "Accounts" system data backup in Titanium Backup. In all ROMs previous to JB, I could just restore that system data file and get the account back password auto-entered and all. Thanks for the reply, though.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] psal217050:
Not trying to be wise but is this your phone or a corporate phone? If your phone, ask for the password you have that right, if a corporate phone, ask for forgiveness for playing around with different ROMs. I would never let work put on a corporate account on my phone...because it gives them the right to view your phone if issues at work ever occur. I handle the cell phones at my work and that is our policy.

But having said that and now getting off the soapbox, if you need the corporate gmail that bad, I would go back to ICS until you can research it more. With any luck it might only require an update on Titanium.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Prometh1216:
I don't think tb will properly restore depending on version of jb since some of them code differently and since most are formatted mtd instead of yaffs which is standard.

Blah blah ... what I am saying is reset up by hand ... or go back to ICS. Unless u can extract the back up on a PC an send u any information you need
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ejness:
Solved! See OP
[Samsung Infuse 4G] DoubleYouPee:
I have the same problem but Tibu doesn't make any accounts.db in /data/system. Also the one in /0 is 0.00b
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] gargash:
I heard a rumor about there being active work on dual apping, if you will. I heard some thing about android on tablets having dual app on one tablet that was being done in ICS. Anyone else know anything. The way i was told our local newspaper reported that android tablets are getting this and apple was trying to stop Samsung as they had it implemented and working and ios has been trying to catch up. Im a bit unclear though as i have done some google serches and returned nothing. Anyone have any info they could share?

Go check out the Galaxy Note 10.1. They have a "few" apps that can be opened and run at the same time.

Also there are some browsers that can be used while other apps are running and it is floating around.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] knowaczark:
Dual apps on Galaxy Note sounds cool, but both apps function a reduced speeds.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ZebTheCalvinist:
Android's multi-tasking scheme allows for multiple apps to run at the same time. There is a developer who specializes in floating apps like you find in Windows. The browser and video player he put out are very good. I've heard good things about the note taking app he did as well. I believe that the browser is called Overskreen, but I don't remember the rest.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] skarfreak:
there are like FLOATING NOTES( i got 2 ) , even a calculator (forgot the name) that will float too, and "stick it" (a video player, works great for me)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] tweeny80:
It's not a rumour, but the floating feature is specific to certain apps as previously mentioned. Some are free, like Super video which is a reasonable video player. Overskreen is a browser and is a few dollars (which I gladly bought on sale a while ago)

Do I need to root my phone to flash Stock roms via Odin? I want to flash the Stock rom and I wonder if it gonna lose the IMEI? thanks guys
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Nope. But you do need root to install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM. There may be another method but im not familiar with it at the moment.

Anyway you can easily dl one of the stock firmwares from samfirmware.com and install using odin. Provided you just want pure stock.

And you shouldn't have to worry about losing your imei flashing stock with odin. I dont recall that ever hapoening. Besides, imei issues have been solved. Just check the dev section for info.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
thanks for your reply :)

btw, I'm on stock with latest Tmo update now. Let say I want to flash stock without that update (stock before the update). how does it change my stock recovery? is the recovery still the stock with latest Tmo update?

I dont really understand how the stock recovery works. after I apply the update, is the update applied to the stock recovery too?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
As far as I am aware it will rewrite your stock recovery back to whatever version you are installing as well. So long as you use odin and a full firmware file from Samsung.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
It's not a Jelly Bean easter egg. It doesn't even remotely fit the definition of an easter egg. It's a option which can be enabled on CM10 and some custom ROMs.

At the rate you create threads I'm not surprised you have 200 posts.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Didn't know that. Jumped on the bandwagon with the OG Atrix and menu unlock wasn't available until GB for us. It was briefly available on froyo I think but then we got GB shortly thereafter.

That's why I said at least GB, wasn't sure if it existed before.
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
I've been running S-OFF Nil's Business Sense 4.0 v2.4 for a while now and never had any issues at all. For some reason, as of this morning the phone has pretty much failed on me. At first it would completely freeze (required battery pull) when doing any phone functions such as calls or text messages, would be extremely slow to unlock from sleep, and sometimes would not turn back on after sleep (also requiring battery pull).

I figured it was time to finally upgrade to the more recent 2.6. I did so, this did not fix anything and the phone kept locking up. I did a full system wipe (system, data, cache, Dalvik) and I was still experiencing the issues.

Then I saw vinyl's kernel and the updated RUU. I installed the kernel and the [ICS][2.27][STOCK][8-12][PH98IMG] RUU, and then did a fresh install of Nil's bs4 2.6. I am still experiencing these issues.

Any suggestions?
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
I wonder if the CPU is scaling properly. Download cpu monitor widget from the market by coconuts...and see what it is doing. the fact that this happens on multiple set ups is indicating something with the phone itself :confused:
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
Yeah, it seemed like it was the phone itself since the issue persists through various updates. I'll check out the CPU monitor and see what we get, but I'm not sure what would cause it to fail so randomly.

Is there a way to clear out all past RUUs, Kernels, systems, etc and just leave the recovery to reinstall each piece by scratch? I doubt that would make a difference, but whenever I'm working on a desktop that has lingering issues I do a thorough scrub of the hard drive to get it totally clean.
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
I suggest you ruu to the official stock ota version using the ruu file from android police.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...cream-sandwich-ruu-for-final-ota-3-14-605-12/

the ruu will replace everything, hboot, boot, system, radios, etc..

the ruu will wipe your internal sdcard, but leave the removable microSD card untouched.

Since you are s-off you don't need to relock your bootloader.I have read that it is best to:

ruu twice in a row

factory reset from within the bootloader

then let it boot up normally as a fully stock system.

Leave everything stock, and see if your phone functions normally. if you have problems, then they are likely to be hardware problems.

If everything works, I would not use titanium backup, but instead reinstall your apps via the Google play store.

If everything still works fine with a stock system, I would only install customized items like hboot, recovery, kernels, and ROMs where the authors explicitly state they are safe for the ruu version you have installed as a base.

That's my advise, but I am not a ROMing expert.

regards,

Howard

p.s. if you prefer, you can ruu to the latest global phone ruu leak instead.

That's perfect Howard, thank you! We'll see how that goes and I'll report back later. :fingers-crossed:
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
I did the stock OTA RUU install and it cleared everything out. There's some good news and some bad news.

The good news is that the phone unlocks and is able to perform normal functions. The bad news is that there is a 5-10 second delay when attempting to do anything. Waking from sleep, loading basic applications such as text messages, phone history, or the app drawer, returning to Home from within an app, and more all result in the 5-10 second delay during which the phone is unresponsive. Once the application is open, the phone operates as normal until I decide to use a different application. So things like reading a text message and then trying to make a phone call takes about 30-40 seconds between loading text messages, opening the text message, and going to the call function.

When waking from sleep, the screen will be blacked out until the delay is over. After waking, the phone unlocks at normal speed if I am unlocking to the main page. If I am unlocking into a text message or missed phone call, the delay holds it at the lock screen until that application is fully opened.

I installed Micro CPU Monitor to review CPU usage in real time. During the 'thinking' state, the CPU has normal fluctuations within standard idle range. It is not until the application actually opens that there is a spike in processing. The spike is normal during regular function, but the large delay before it kicks in is not.
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
Well, looks like this phone is off to Verizon for a warranty swap. I have the latest OTA RUU installed and reset back to S-ON, so she looks bone stock once again.

I do have one concern, though. Under Settings > Software Update > Status it shows all blank information. Would an untouched, stock phone have this information filled in?

Description
[HTC Rezound] HowardZ:
before returning the phone, I suggest you boot into the bootloader and do a factory reset to factory defaults. Also reformat the microSD card.

This way you'll erase personal information which may reside on the phone
[HTC Rezound] kirbfucius:
Thanks for the advice! I've done two factory resets since the RUU, one through the bootloader on my own and one through Settings at the request of the Verizon tech support guy. I'm keeping the microSD (I bought this one) and I've triple checked the internal storage is clear. They said to just return the phone, no battery, SIM, or mSD so I think I am all set.

Edit: And just for good measure I did another factory reboot through the bootloader before the final battery pull. Some might call me paranoid, but my issue was definitely not caused by software and I don't want them to have any reason to point a finger at me for it. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cvillalta:
Hey, everybody!

I have a little issue with my i9300: when I go to the Settings menu, Application manager, the list of Downloaded application takes 30 seconds or more to show the used space for every application. If I select an application while such info is not present, the Details show "Computing..." and it usually takes the phone about a minute to show the details.

Does anybody have this issue? I know it does not really affect the phone, as I can uninstall applications, clear cache, etc; but it's a bit annoying to find this settings section to be slow. And I do not know whether a specific application is slowing it down or what.

I would really appreciate any help, tips, or hints to solve this annoyance.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lolpoppa:
Mine's the same and has been on every ROM that I've tried.
