can you help

im on 4.0.4 trying to root but getting no were what is the best way to do this
[HTC One S] Closed Source Project:
There are many threads (both junk and old and good) stickied in the Development section that show how to unlock the bootloader and obtain a custom recovery and root. Then search the custom ROMs on the dev section for more options. Custom ROMs give you many OS tweaks, better performance, and better battery life. Check the thread's OP + recent comments to find out what each ROM has. I would suggest the Viper/Venom ROM or Axiom S. For a custom kernel, try Fusion. There is also AOSP (stock Android) for ICS and Jellybean (CM9 + CM10). Have fun!

Hey all,

I just got this phone, and I have to say, it's wonderful. However, whenever I have power saving mode set up, it never turns itself on. The icon is in my status bar, but it stays grey all the time. I've used system settings and custom settings but it never goes green, it just stays grey. Help?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] robcore:
In Settings > Power Saving, click on the checkbox next to "custom power saving," and the custom settings options below will bevome available. Within that menu, youll be able to customize the details for your power saving profile, including the battery percentage at which it will automatically activate if you so choose.

To find out more info in regards to stock settings (im assuming you're running stock), I encourage you to check out the FAQ for the phone here:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
When you say 4g, do you mean hspa+ or lte?

I live in an area with no lte, I get respectable hspa+ speeds. If you have no hspa or lte, then I find that surprising. I thought at&t set out to cover areas lacking hspa with LTE first. Thats why cities like Philadelphia just got LTE today.

Anyway i recommend getting the s3. Its the best LTE phone out by far and eventually at&t will cover you with LTE.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
This phone is a beast, 4G or not. The processor, RAM, screen, functionality, development choices, and style are just a few things that should sway you toward buying this. Wait for what? I doubt anything can be better than the GS3 for another year.

Apple confused the hell out of everyone on the 4S. I frequently talk to people with the iPhoney that think they have 4G service. Also heard of an IPOD nano coming out that is labeled 5G? or something like that. I just wish they would continue to avoid 4G service and dread the day Apple users suck up all the 4G bandwidth.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eMpTy43:
SGS3 is an awesome phone, whether you are on 3G/4G-LTE it's going to kick your old phone to the curb. The phone is faster so I could possibly pull better speeds even on 3G than your current handset. If you travel at all you'll be 4G/LTE ready and when you finally get updated locally you'll see awesome immediately.

There is also huge support for the SGS3 because of the bootloader getting unlocked a few weeks back and of course because it's just such an awesome phone period.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] peaceofpi:
+1 totally - the specs alone - plus if you flash a ROM, Like Synergy's Nightly you can actually get even better performance out of the phone; i.e. faster WiFi, processor, even longer battery. There is nothing out that even comes close to the awesomeness that is the S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] galchristian:
I live in Miami Beach FL, I have 4G everywhere, it's the first phone which has an incredible battery-life out of the box. But now since we have an open bootloader thanks to the DEVS you can exchange your Kernel and the battery is lasting even longer. I can only recommend this phone! You will love it! :laugh:

This should help other noobs out too. Hopefully someone can answer these questions.

I rooted using the Windows debugfs method. Then unlocked bootloader using EZ Unlock. I then made a nandroid, wiped cache and data and flashed a touchwiz ROM (Beans Build 9).

1. If I want to goto same ROM but new build, do I just wipe cache/data/delvik(sp?) Then install new zip in Recovery?

2. If I want to try a new Touchwiz ROM, what steps do I need to take??

3. If I want to try a non Touchwiz ROM, what steps do I need to take??

4. Is it possible to go back to original stock? Like the way it was out of box.

5. What is the difference in all the different recoveries? I used EZ Recovery but there is a CWM, ROM Manager and a different number of initials of Recovery programs. And I guess I'm asking is if I used EZ but want to use ROM Manager from now on, can I? How?

6. When I'm in Recovery and click restore data will that wipe everything and go back to whatever ROM I was using when I backed up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jarredw:
I can answer the question about the restore. It does restore your previous rom. I flashed the synergy rom but for the life of me I couldn't get wallet to work even though I reset the account before flashing. After the restore my phone was back to exactly how it was before I flashed it. When you restore it's like it never happened lol

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

Also to get it like it was out of the box you would need to flash it using a program on your computer called Odin. There are amazing write ups that will explain everything you need to know about all your questions. I would do a search or just review a couple pages of threads in the general, faq, and developers sections. Don't take it personal if you get flamed for asking before searching but people do put a lot of time into the guides to help eliminate the forum from getting clogged with threads that have already been answered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bhags8:
Thanks. And yes I know I will get flamed. And I have searched all these questions but the results I get are like different case scenerios and there's not really a good explanation of the questions I posted. I normally just find tutorials on how to flash/root but not how to change different ROMs and what not. Appreciate it though.

I find more pauses and hitches on the 8.9 ui than on the nexus 7. It's a major improvement over hc but there's no doubt the 7 benefits from the newer processor. I have a 7 plus that seems smoother than the 8.9 but is showing some WiFi issues after the ics update.

What I love about the 8.9 is the screen size. I use it when I want the extra screen size which is often. So far the update seems to be a solid improvement...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 216Monster:
Hello all, first off, if this does not suit Android Q&A then someone please feel free to set me straight!

I have been using Apk manager / multitool on Win7 for about a year now and I am trying to gear all of my android work to be done on Ubuntu now. I have a few questions because just using apktool functionality does not give me the same desired results. I understand apk manager is simply a wrapper for apktool functionality but .. well .. here goes.

Using apk manager there is a "keep" folder that I am able to delete things I have modified so that they my edits are incorporated with the new built apk. Using apktool on Ubuntu there is not a "keep" folder method (to my learning knowledge) which leaves me with the problem..

I am making edits to items in res/layout xml files as well as res/values xml files and as most of you know those are in the resources.arsc file. Using apk manager I would simply make my edits and then delete the resources.arsc from the "keep" folder. Which leads me to question one

1) On Ubuntu with apktool , how can I edit the items in the res/layout and the res/values folders and apply them to the new apk?

My second question is much shorter to read.. When working with classes.dex files I would simply use a Baksmali to decompile the .dex and make my smali edits and then recompile the .dex and add the edited .dex to the new apk. My baksmali .bat files do not work on Ubuntu, so my second and final question

2) How can I perform the Baksmali decompile of classes.dex on Ubuntu to edit smali files?

Thank you for anyone who took the time to read and give me any insight into my decompile / recompile journey with Ubuntu , I have had no luck simply searching though google looking for these answers. I may very well of overlooked some search results and missed the answer I was looking for, if so, please feel free to point me in the right direction, Im hopeful someone can help me on this matter as there are many users on XDA that have far more knowledge on these topics then I do. Thanks again!

I've Google'd the topic and all the comes up are my own post in the Dev sections where I asked how to create/get a logcat. I can "adb logcat" to a text file, then it shows "waiting for device". Now what's the procedure or setup on the S7 end? I've turned On adb debugging options in the S7. Can/ls this done by USB? The "adb devices" command while plugged into the USB shows nothing. I can connect in Fastboot mode and "adb devices" shows nothing also. Or is more of the Android SDK package needed for this?

Yep, that's a link to the page but where's a link to actual file download? I think the third comment on the page mentions this.

If I'm not missing the driver files, I wonder if it might be that I NVflashed CM10 again but didn't allow it to reboot before restoring a TWRP backup?
[Dell Streak 7] wptski:
All the old links to files have been changed since the DNS problems but I found a link to the old files at StreakDroid and the DNS issued is fixed. Download, unzipped, nothing looks any different to what I already have. I still tried the package anyway and it still can't find it's driver. Next I'm going to NVflash CM10 again and let it boot up fully and try it then before restoring my TWRP backup.
