My experience with cellphones is that, if the screen tech is the same ie AMOLED, LCD, LED etc etc and the connectors and power requirements are the same, then they will probably work. They may differ in image sharpness, brightness and liifespan but they will work.

Maybe someone who has had an experience with the different MT4GS screens can give his view on his experience with them

Well, if it matters the sony version doesnt work on this phone. Its incredible that the 60H00532 version of this lcd display cant be found on ebay or any other place online. No explanations or whatsoever about this also. Just a couple people asking the same question im asking right now.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] dannyboi2222:
Well the 532 if available on eBay now pricey for a lcd
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Ziida:
Wait so does it matter which version of the LCD I order in to repair my MT4Gs with? Is one superior to the other?

edit: nvm answered my own question by searching these forums more. unfortunately it seems I have no way of knowing which screen I have without opening up the phone! *sigh*
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SahilC:
Hey guys,

recently rooted my phone (for the first time) and flashed CM10. I've been reading about Kernels and how they can improve battery life and performance and stuff.

I haven't really understood how a kernel would work. Can I just flash it like how I flashed a ROM? Would it 'delete' my earlier CM10 kernel?

Which kernels are compatible with CM10? Which is the best for battery life and snappiness of the processor?

I've heard of Lean,PopcornKernal, and of course, francos.

Thanks,

Sahil
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ÜBER™:
All of them are good. There isn't a best kernel. You should really stay away from asking those questions. And if you don't tune the kernel there is no way to get any difference than from stock.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donsh00tmesanta:
Im not sure if cm10 requires its own set of kernels but my phone liked the air kernel (ran cooler) and lean (as a bonus removed the purply tint at lower brightness)

Please explain how you tube your kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
depends on the kernel, on the device and on the user.

mpu/core/iva voltages, smartreflex and color control are a few examples.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thebobp:
kernels are like the engine to a car/rom. They're pretty much what manages and drives everything, whereas the rom is like the entire OS.

Every ROM comes with a kernel by default but it can be replaced simply by flashing a kernel on top of it. Conversely, flashing a rom will replace whatever kernel you're running now with the rom's kernel.

Many kernels come with their apps (which can be found in their threads), or some apps might have access to some properties. Also, some roms (cm comes to mind) have access to some properties of some kernels, though there was a recent fuss made about incompatibility so its not perfect.

Franco Kernel

Hey guys! I want to root my GN and I'm a bit confused about what Kernel use...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PoorOldMoot:
I'd recommend trying Franco's kernel out, it is supported by a nice updater app that can auto-flash the kernel and keep you informed of updates. Doing a bit of research yourself is also always recommended here - this site is for learning about your device. Good luck!

Hi all..

I've searched everywhere and haven't found any info on anyone developing on this tab yet. I know that not alot of people probably own one or plan on owning one, but for the people that do have this tab it would be great to see a proper root and maybe a port of CM10.

No problem! Glad I could finally contribute to XDA even if its just a little.

I've been looking into that as well. However, I don't think the stock firmware has been released yet and I can't figure out how to dump the ROM on these Samsung devices. Even then.. I fear the bootloader may be locked as it was on the sgs3 until someone found a way to unlock it. If I could find a way now to dump the tablets firmware I could take a peek lol. They say you need knowledge of c/c++ and java to build ROMs n such. I have SOME experience with all three.. I'm fairly proficient in php and that's based on C so who knows.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] BigBot96:
I found all the necessary partitions. I'm extracting them using dd right now.

If I understand this correctly, without an official release from vzw or samsung, these will be required for any modifications.

If anyone is curious..

mmcblk0p1	/modem
mmcblk0p5	/aboot
mmcblk0p7	/boot
mmcblk0p12	/modemst1
mmcblk0p13	/modemst2
mmcblk0p14	/system
mmcblk0p15	/data
mmcblk0p17	/cache
mmcblk0p18	/recovery

The partitions on this device are conveniently the same as the GS3. I'm not sure about the wifi tab 2, though.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] BigBot96:
Using builder.clockworkmod.com, i uploaded my stock recovery and got a cwm back... I haven't tested it yet, kinda unsure if I want to or not. Either way, here's the link to it if any of you want to try. If ya'll are even still reading this thread.

CWM Recovery IMG

*RECOMMENDED*

Backup your own recovery!

adb shell
su
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18 of=/sdcard/recovery.img

Move it to SD Card and use the following commands:

adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18
reboot recovery

If it doesn't work, you **should** be able to use ODIN to flash the original.

STOCK recovery

If this works, i'll start a new thread.

** USE AT OWN RISK! **

EDIT: Flashed the recovery.. id didn't work. Before it would even load cwm it rebooted the device. Good news is it rebooted fine and I was able to use adb to reload the stock firmware and all is good. I guess the hunt is continuing.

@MrHyde03

I will try to modify the stock recovery to add CWM recovery key to /res/keys, so the stock recovery will accept an update.zip signed by Google's testkey. I also need cache.img from stock firmware to extract the update-binary and learn the updater-script, how it mount /system partition.

EDIT:

Attached a modified version of SCH-i705 recovery and an update.zip (SCH-i705_root-signed.zip) for rooting. Please remember, I do not have and do not have an access to SCH-i705, try this at your own risk!

The recovery is a modified of STOCK_recovery.tar.md5 uploaded by MrHyde03. SCH-i705_root-signed.zip use update-binary extracted from Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 4.0.4 XXBLE3 cache.img. The partition mapping base on /etc/recovery.fstab information.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] acefiredx:
I only noticed this issue recently, not sure when it started.

Last time when wanted to copy stuff from my Xperia S to my PC, I could easily do it.

Now, some files seem to be invisible to me on my PC. I've even tried setting the option to "Show hidden files and folders" but nothing works.

I copy a folder (located on the phone) containing items, audio files, pictures and XML files to a common folder for easy access on my PC(Also located on my phone Internal Storage, using Astro). On Astro, I've checked and verified that the items are there.

However, when I open it on my PC, I only see some files, not all.

Worse still, even though I can only see some files and attempt to copy the whole folder to my PC, I end up copying an empty folder.

This has never happened to me before. (On the .452 ICS firmware anyways)

Sometimes, I can't even see anything in the folder.

Could it be the new 6.1.A.2.45 update or a custom kernel I installed?

Phone Details

Stock 6.1.A.2.45 FW(Updated with SUS) rooted with Advanced ICS stock kernel, followed by another flash of Xperia SSpeed kernel for OC.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
There are some serial flashers (:laugh:) here who must be able to provide some interesting insight into this question: how long does it take you to completely restore apps, settings, etc. after a clean flash? I use Rom Toolbox Pro for most back ups, but there are some things it's not been successful at restoring, particularly app login settings (email, twitter, dropbox, calendars etc.), call history, and mms (on JB). I tried Google backup on my last flash and was not very impressed. So to flash a rom and get it back to where I want it takes me hours! How long does it take you and what is your procedure?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] k-semler:
Since I use Titanium Backup Pro, it takes about 2 minutes of actual effort to download the app+ license from the Google Play store, and install them, then another 30 seconds to open up the application, and go to system+app restore. Then I let the phone sit unattended for around 5 minutes, go back to it, restart the phone, and all of my settings and applications are back where I had them prior to flashing a new ROM. The total time invested to restore everything with Titanium Backup is around 10 minutes. Doing it manually takes me about 7 hours. Titanium Backup Pro is DEFIANTLY worth the price if you are a frequent flasher, (or even a occasional flasher).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
I second that. Well worth the few dollars.

But you want to be carefull. Do not restore system data from back ups to different Roms. And, restoring system data to updated Roms can also cause trouble.

Always do a Nandroid back up before flashing.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Whizzpopper:
Thanks. I bought Rom Toolbox Pro awhile back (before is was put on perpetual sale :( ) because of all the bells and whistles, and because the dev is super responsive. However, the interface just isn't that intuitive - I've only just worked out how to restore most settings! A few days ago I flashed Paranoid Android and restored almost solely from RTB. It restored my apps and some settings, but it took somewhere between 30 and 45 mins to restore all my apps - around a minute each, but it did not restore email, specific app logins (Twitter, dropbox etc) or calendars (some of which I have to access through CalDav Sync, a separate app). Does Titanium Backup actually restore your logins? I have 3 additional email accounts - one exchange, the other two IMAP - in addition to gmail, two additional calendars, dropbox, twitter, amazon, skype and so on. If Titanium Backup can restore all of that, I'd agree it's worth the $6.50!

Of course, I don't flash without a nandroid!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
It doesn't automatically back up or restore system apps. Yoy have to select that. Otherwise, you might restore apps & data that's not compatible even just by upgrading a Rom.

Planning my escape!

In /apps/ you will see TPChargeTest - a utility i use to check rate of charge/max charge.

Test patches are in /testing/ - once added to the nightly, they are removed. The charging fix is no longer there. You'll need the latest nightly for that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juvenile582:
Recently, I flashed my SGS I9000 with DarkyROM v11.0 Black Edition and all went smoothly. I did this while I was in Pakistan for the holidays. When I came back to the UK, I found that my phone wasn't getting any service, not from my old sim or my new sim. My new sim had been activated on the day I got back and it just showed the crossed-out triangle. My old sim was supposed to be working but it wasn't working on the phone for some reason. After a fair amount of hours spent on researching on the problem, I figured that my efs was corrupted. A symptom of this was that my imei had changed and I'm not sure how to get it back.

Okay, I've hit a new low. You can blame my stupidity for this.

I was looking at xsenman's suggestions and I asked about one of his methods, he told me to use the M110S Repair kit which I downloaded. I opened it up and it shows a bunch files that I had to flash to my phone. While flashing my phone and eventually bricking it, I realised that the M110S is the Korean version and I just tried to flash that firmware onto mine, resulting in a brick. Basically, I hold the power button and it shows the Samsung Anycall logo and that's about the extent of the boot and my capabilities. I cannot go into download mode or recovery mode (via 3 buttons) it just tries to boot up the phone.

I have realized my complete idiocy at this point but I could use anything just to get my phone back up so that I can atleast continue trying to sort out the IMEI.

Ok, this is rather strange and sad to hear , as you made a post in the Korean M110S Forum, my suggestions were for you to use the Korean repair kit at Today, 06:13 AM in response to a post made at Today, 03:07 AM.

But by Today, 07:39 AM, you responded I am referring to the wrong model and by Today, 07:46 AM, I advised you to use the i9000 froyo ROM instead .

So it sad to hear you still used the M110S repair kit knowingly , even after I advised you not to use it, at 07:46 AM today?

Anyway, what you should do is first power down, remove battery, remove SIM Card and Ext SD card, , press power button for a few min, than reinsert battery only and try for download mode or use Methods mention on MY Android Solutions, link below to achieve download mode .

Forget about recovery mode, get download mode and use PIT and full i9000 ROM package, use JVZ or JVU with boot loaders

I, Personally had tested i9000 ROMS on the M110S and spend a few hours flashing M110S repair kit over and over again to recover, so as long as your phone can get into download mode or with a help of a JIG, its not bricked.
