[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePiece:
Hi all. I'd really really like to delete all my internal memory before trying my next custom rom!!!

As I search for different custom roms to try it drives me a bit nuts that my internal memory has loads of stuff left there from previous installs of apps, ROMS and whatever-the-hell-else-I-can't-recognise etc. I delete the folders I'm sure I don't need but it still bugs me the amount of rogue, seemingly uneeded folders and files sitting there. All these folders and files from old apps despite doing the standard factory reset, cache, dalvik cache steps makes me crazy!

So here's my question: can how can I safely nuke all my internal memory before putting my next custom ROM on to try?

I suppose I'll I have to leave the actual custom ROM .zip on the internal memory somewhere - I've read that clockwork recovery can't access the external sd card. I was sure clockwork recovery could access the external sd card on my old Nexus 1. :(.

Anyways, any advice would be much appreciated! I'd like to avoid software bricking my phone if I can avoid it!!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 123shree:
If you are on stock Rom > turn off your device > hold volume up+ home + power till it boots into android recovery.. perform a data wipe from there.. it'll wipe everything (not the external storage).. your phone will be like it was when u bought it.

And older versions of the official clockworkmod recoveries don't support external storage. Newer version do I think. ( needs clarification!!).

Alternatively you can also use chainfire's clockworkmod recovery. It supports external storage.

(Note: clockworkmod recovery only wipe the system partition. All your personal data will be intact.. but the stock android recovery wipes everything!!)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePiece:
Thanks for the reply! :):)

Unfrotunately I'm long gone from having a stock recovery. I have "clockworkmod recovery v5.8.4.3" although I'm not sure whether it's the chainfire one or the other one. It has the hat with the circle icon in it and is the blue monochrome menus. While it does have an option to mount an external sd, I can't seem to browse to my external sd when I choose install zip from sd card. Despite whichever folders I mount on the external sd card, only my internal memory appears to come up when browsing for install zip from sd card.

It would be nice if one of the recoveries out there could do a full wipe of internal memory! Unless that would delete the recovery too. Is recovery installed in the internal memory or somewhere else on the galaxy s3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePiece:
Bump! Not just because I like my post at the top but seriously, don't all those silly, un-necessary folders and files drive anyone else crazy!!!! Maybe I'm just getting a bit OCD... I've even tried a bunch of cleaner apps but to no avail. Damn apps not cleaning up after themselves...

If you know a script called "superwipe"recommended for flashing new CustomRoms, flash this script in clockworkmod recovery menu by choosing instal zip from SD CARD,and the internal memory will be completely vanished,while the EXTERNALSDCARD stays Untouched.

if i helped you feel free to press thanks!!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
Use Megawipe script from the General Section..search it there..put it on your extsdcard and flash via CWM..all you data will be wiped just the extsdcard will be left..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LargePiece:
Well chainfire's 5.5.0.4 CWM recovery "1.5" loads from my external sd card instead so assuming I have my ROM files on there, I should be able to use that script without bricking my phone! Wish me luck! Lol. Thanks for the help.

I am on CM10 and find the Clock app to be missing a couple of things that I would be willing to pay for if someone wanted to enhance it. Basically, I want the stock Jelly Bean clock app (I think CM's is basically stock) plus the following:

* weather for current location via Google, Weather Bug, or the Weather Channel (a single one of these would work, option of provider would be great)

* charge status like on the lock screen

* album art and play controls for Play Music.

* option to not black things out when it has been idle yet still have the clock move around. I like seeing my wallpaper.

Hope this catches a dev's eye :)

***Mods: if this is in the wrong forum feel free to move it. Thanks.

I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S2 from T-Mobile. After activated the phone, I saw all my contacts in MobileLif Contacts (about 300 or so) showed up to the phone's contact list. However when I select Phone as the "Contacts to Display" I only saw 2. One is "Me" and the other one is entered by hand at the phone.

How do I actually download all the contacts to phone and make them local to the phone, so when I'm on other carrier's SIM card, I can still access all my contacts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sylikc:
tmlee51,

I tried on my phone short of exporting... but what you do is "contacts to display" mobilelife... then do a Import/Export... you should be able to export to various places... then import back to phone... I don't want to play with my contacts, but i did that to get my SIM contacts onto the phone and vice versa.

I'm just waiting for AT&T to announce the Skyrocket-equivalent for the S3 so I can hear the roar as hundreds of thousands of people realize they spent $600 on the base version, and the sport model came out six months later.

I'm steering clear of the S3 entirely. Too much of a risk that AT&T announces the S3 "Skyrocket 2" or whatever within a couple of months.

I would just wait till the years end to decide on your new phone. Because there's going to b always something new coming out. But like allot of att customers are going to wait for the Note 2! I've had the S3 already tested it out and it was good. But my skyrocket was faster at some things! But the S3 cameras are Excellent! That's the best thing about the phone, oh& the screen! Everything else my skyrocket will do fine.

Now rushing out to pick up the S3 because you think Sammy is going to get sued, and the phone's would b banned. That's injunction will not go into affect until next year. Plus they have to go thru appeals court. Besides this suing crap will never END between Crapple& Sammy..

I have a Samsung Captivate. I am pretty tech savy so I have updated. It is running the newest X-Bean rom with the newest devil kernel. It is running silky smooth and looking beautiful. However, I wasn't a fan of the default 240 DPI the rom came with so, using build.prop app, I changed it to 182. Works great with my 5X5 Grid and Nova Launcher. One thing that is bugging me though, the status bar messages are cut off. The whole message won't show if their are multiple ones up. Instead, it will cut off the bottom of them. I am assuming this is the result of my DPI change.

Is there anyway to change the status bar to work with a higher resolution/lower DPI? I know some programs you have to clear the data app when you change the DPI for them to work correctly with the new DPI. Is this the same with the status bar?

Any Help would be appreciated.

Zagg Shield

??? If you have the Zagg screen protector what is your concern over the dock fitting without damage when you get the dock if you apply decals?

The Zagg Shield is def thicker than any decal. (what decals are you speaking of)

Or for that matter, why didn't you get the Zagg full body - I'd want to preserve that beautiful aluminum as much as the glass.

There is also a Zagg Shield available for the bottom of the dock -

I have used many protectors over the years and Zagg is without peer. I sold my 14 month old iPad2 w/Logitech bt aluminum keyboard protected by full Zagg Shield and got 450 to put toward my tf700 - it just looked so new. Every little scratch healed itself.

*The shield for the dock doesn't show if doing a lookup just for tablet, redo your search if it's not there. (Zagg promo code ZAGG20)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Joeful:
It's a simple question. Will my dock properly fit onto my Infinity with a Zagg screen protector and carbon fiber decals from Skinomi, on the device?
[Asus Transformer TF700] scitech09:
I don't know about the Zagg screen protector, but I have an Acase screen protector and the Skinomi carbon fiber skin (for the tablet and the dock) and they fit just fine into the keyboard dock. I know that the Zagg screen protectors are prone to lifting on the edges, so it may not work. Zagg will replace it if you mess it up, but that does not solve your problem. I would just get a thinner screen protector like the Acase, because the carbon fiber skin is nice.

I forgot that I deleted TwLauncher, and I don't even know why I did it in the first place. Is there a way to open up the Android market so I could get another launcher?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
do you have CWM..if you have you can make flashable zip with luncher inside and flash it ..you can also use "adb push" command from pc
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
Did this before lol. You have to first get on your PC and sign into your google account that is associated with your player. Then you choose what ever launcher you want, and then when you hit install, it should ask do you want it sent to your device. Hit yes, and wait a few minutes. You still should have your status bar working (right?) So you will see when it comes, just make sure your wifi is turned on. Hit install on the launcher, and that will automatically become your default launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Messinator:
I don't have CWM. I did a factory reset and did not unroot it prior to doing so. Is it still rooted? And if so, what can I do?

Tried doing that... I guess would have to set up something in order to use the Android market because it doesn't install even though it says on the computer that it will start shortly.

Update: When setting up the device, Setup Wizard (com.android.setupwizard) crashes. I press Auto close and I land on the black screen.

Hello,

It's unlikely that you will be able to undo what you did. However, there are two options available for you. One would be to use ODIN to restore back the stock version of your player, or you could flash a custom kernel to boot onto the CWM.

If you need further assistance, feel free to respond.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Messinator:
What's ODIN and how do I use that? And I don't have CWM installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] DZonikg:
use adb command to push some launcher from pc to player..google whow to use it..its simple
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] obscuresword:
odin is a program we use for flashing custom rom, custom kernels and stock roms.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1372414 just make sure you don't have repartition selected, or you will brick your device. Also make sure you get the correct tar file for your player (US, Euro, or International)
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] JeonZiro:
Odin is a tool for developers or the average user who want's to flash custom roms and kernels onto their devices. It's an alternative then using the CWM planel, but not all ROMS are specifically designed to work with Odin. You will need to do some quick research throughout this forum, I'm sure it'll help.

If you want CWM, then you should flash a kernel. You will be looking for a PDA file. There will be check boxes with f.boot and re-partition, which you should take off the re-partition. Then boot into the download mode of the device and connect it to your computer to begin the process.

Another way would be flashing a stock version of the player, which puts your device like the first way you got it.

Hope this helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
Meh, Forget odin when flashing back to stock, while some say it's the easiest and safest, I got too many errors and looping recovery menu.

Heimdall is what I use to flash back to stock everytime, following the guide below helps you every step of the way. Super easy, any new rom flashing user can do it.

Odin is really alot simpler to use then Heimdall is. I have no problems with Odin, It's what I typically use for my Galaxy S2. I do sometimes have to use Heimdall though, for my Player 4, since I don't have the files to go back to stock using Odin, lol.

Anyways, OP, if you are logged into a Gmail account on your device, login to your Gmail on a computer, and search for a launcher in the play store, and have it be downloaded onto your device from there, it's simple, really.
