[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Legato Bluesummers:
As i understand it...Stock apps are usually Odexed. Custom ROMs are De-odexed. Difference? Odex is the part loaded to the dalvik cache to help make the phone boot quicker. So the phone maker separates the APK into two files. The apk and odex. You cannot just run the file with the APK alone...you NEED the odex. A custom ROM would de-odex the files and they are combined into one. It WILL NOT run odex files. I have tried on a few ROMs on the bionic to get it to run stock apps in a custom rom if i included the odex. Still wouldn't work. If you can find someone to compile the APK and ODEX for you it may work.

Edit: plus many apps on this device like the weather clock are tied to touch wiz. You cannot use them outside of it. Even on another launcher with the stock ROM (nova [my fave], apex, go, etc)

I have a cutom rom installed a few months ago. Yesterday there was a update of the ROM. But after flashing and using a got a problem.

I can't unlock my phone. After a put the sreen off I can't put it on.

Can a full wipe help me with this problem or is it the rom?

Hi, beginner here.

I just rooted my phone and installed Andromadus Mimicry v1.5.0 on my phone. Everything seemed to go great except:

1. When I tried to install google apps it said the zip was bad and would not install it (using clockwork)

2. I tried rebooting the phone and now it is just displaying some type of screen saver that I have never seen before. Looks like multi colored cards or shapes sort of flipping, changing color and disappearing over and over. It is not doing anything else.

Any ideas? Should I reboot again?

Thx

Edit - I fixed issue 1 by rebooting back into recovery and trying to install google apps again and this time it worked. Still having issue #2 though.

Yes thats right i will give/donate £5 to the person/team that helps me solve this issue (via skype/fbook chat)

I want to root my sgs2 gt-i9100p XXKJ4

Android version: 2.3.5

(for about a month and a half)

My issues:

My fone has been purchased through o2 contract - the fone is mine and the sim is being used by someone else (currently using my own o2 sim on the phone)

Questions:

1. Can i root it successfully ? (without the need of odin )

2. Will i loose my apps/data (just a root, no kernel, no rom). If not what will happen if i download the same app using a rooted app downloader.(will i hav access to both? Will the data save over to the rooted app?)

3. What kernel (if it came to it - using odin) can i use, that would work with my phone? (i would like to overclock, change theme layout and play *emulators*)

*=important

- can provide more then one, i will look through which could be the one for me

4. Do i need a ROM? (if i install a kernel - if so then which one would work with the supplied kernel for above)

- same as above - more then one that works is welcome

5. If i ever needed to, could i revert my phone back to normal as it was prior to rooting/kernel/rom

6. Is £5 enough for your troubles, im willing to go £10 - i really want to play emulators and increase my phones performance

Please feel free to post replies or inbox me with details so you can walk me through the neccessary steps.

I think thats all, i know you might think with the info given i might not pay up - but you have my word for the person that walks me through the steps will be paid and have a mention on here for helping me out.

Thank you for any replies

Ad 1.

This method should work: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1103399

Flashing kernel via Odin will increase flash counter (!) and You will (theoretically) loose warranty. There are some methods to reset flash counter (USB JIG, TrianagleAway app from market etc.).

Ad 2.

No. Rooting will not remove anything from phone.

Ad 3.

Try to search Siyah kernel for your firmware version.

What kind of emulators do You have in mind?

Ad 4.

No. Stock ROM will be fine.

Ad 5.

It's possible but not always easy. Best (simple) sollution will be factory reset with removing everything from phone internal storage and flashing full stock firmware. There are also more complicated methods without loosing data (see link with root).

Ad 6.

This is XDA :) We do this for free (most time :P). Next time just search forum: most questions were already answered somewhere.

EDIT:

I just figured that You still have Android 2.3.5 :P so I modified links to proper ones.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radekula:
That kind of emulators work out of box and You don't need special kernel for this :) There are few of them in Google Play.

Yeah I can't find anything about XXKj4 too. Rooting should be simple with one click methods (SuperOneClick etc.) because they use exploids not kernels.

Siyah kernels are generic and if You find Siyah kernel 2.6.14 or never (but not 3.x.x or 4.x.x) should work.

You can always unbrand Your phone and install ICS rom. Doing this will not void your warranty if you use stock Samsung ROM, only You will need to return your phone directly to Samsung's service not via operator (o2). I have done this few times in a past with Samsung's phones and I didn't have any problems with services (yes: some of them were repaired). But before You do this make sure that Samsung in your country also have same policy :)

Look at sammobile.com section firmware (you must be registered but that's free) then type 9100p in search but first try to update your phone (via System->About phone->Firmware update or Kies)

Any stock rom will not give You option to overclock. You need to flash non-stock kernel or non-stock firmware. You can use emulators in any ROM - they're just apps :)

Just a thought, but if i put my phone back to stock firmware, could i then search for a compatible kernel to use? Or will XXKJ4 still be the version?

Why don't you find what kernel you want then flash a version that works with it. Simples

No list of apps in the superuser list means you havent yet given any app root permission. Once you do, it will be added in the list.

As for the custom kernel, asking which one is better isn't allowed here on XDA, so just don't ask that question.

You can flash siyah kernel, but it will break your NFC capability.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenyw:
Hi,

I just bought an S3 over the weekend, so far it has been a delight to use and I have a question or two regarding the battery life. I am finding the battery great when I am using the phone, it drops much more slowly than I expected a 4.8" quad-core monster to do :) It is just the standby time that is concerning me.

Is it normal to have the battery level go down by about 20% overnight? For example, when I went to bed (about midnight) the battery was at 77%, this morning when I woke up at 7am the battery was showing 59% when I dismissed the alarm. That's 3-4% per hour. Running stock, unrooted, XXBLG8.

By comparison with other phones I've used, a HTC One S C2 loses about 2-5% overnight. I do notice that the HTC seems to switch the WiFi off for a good part of the night, though.

Also my phone seems to be suffering the 'cell standby dominates battery usage' issue, but as I understand it that's a bug with how the usage is reported and isn't related to the actual battery life.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ev0d3vil:
You have to flash a cell standby fix or something to make it report the battery life correctly.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewAussiefromCanada:
All of the above suggestions worked to reduce consumption while sleeping for me.

Cell Stand By Fix was the biggest help.

Have you made use of any of the built in power saving options?

Another big help for me was setting the wifi to remain off while the phone was locked. Seemed to save a lot of battery power. Not a setting for everyone, especially if you require receiving emails, or other data related msgs while you sleep. If you can wait until you wake its worth a shot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenyw:
Thanks.

I've installed BetterBatteryStats and the Battery Monitor Widget to get a better picture of what's going on. Hopefully it will be just be a rogue app or two that I can just blow away.

Also noticed with WiFi Analyzer that the phone's WiFi reception in my bedroom is quite weak (happens with all the phones I've tried but not the iPad!). That's probably making any problem worse.

Using TB to remove the bloatware needs root so I'll wait a week or two before rooting; I just bought the phone and want to make sure there are no (obvious hardware) defects while running on stock first :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ausboy 2011:
I lose 1% overnight at the max 2 just use the cell standby fix
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
That fix DOES NOT reduce battery consumption. If only fixes that in the battery graph standby is reported to take a bigger share (10x bigger) than it actually does but does not affect the "charge left" calculation in any way.

For one, apps like Juice Defender may help a lot: they can disable data network or Wifi and periodically (I typically used to set it to 30min) re-enable it so the apps still get their sync, then disable it again.

Alternatively,making the phone fallback to 2G data network will allow you to realtime-snyc without draining battery. HSPA standby seems not to drain noticeably more than 2G on the i9300, but fast dormancy doesn't work everywhere correctly so your mileage may vary.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BelJanss:
It's not normal. I'm on stock rom but rooted and undervolted. Mine only consume 1-2% during sleeping time. It's better to know what causes the drainage. Use betterbatterystats. Then you will found out if it's an app or your carrier. Fast dormancy is enabled in other carrier which leads to better battery consumption during idle.

Please let me know if I did something wrong in asking this question; I tried to do as much research as I could beforehand. If I haven't done enough, I would appreciate a point in the right direction.

Or maybe the post was too long and drawn out, so I'll try to compact it here.

My phone won't restore a successful Safestrap backup that is 2.2 GB in size. The backup (a tar file) extracts fine on my PC. I'm getting "error restoring /data!". It seems to be the same issue others have had with restoring a CWM backup over 2 GB.

Would it make sense to simply attempt to extract the apps-only tar overtop of the apps directory, or would the files be locked when the phone was on normally?

Could this still be a free space issue?

Do you have any other suggestions for ways to get my Safestrap-generated nandroid backup of my data correctly restored to my phone?

Edit: Could the tar be converted to an image file to be flashed to the data partition with Fastboot?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] TheSpoom:
Final bump. Anyone? Anyone? Bueler?

Is it safe to just grab a root shell through ADB, push the tar containing the apps, and extract over top of my phone's existing apps directory, while the phone is running? Are there risks associated with this?

Edit: Alternatively, is there a native Android GNU tar binary available anywhere, or instructions for cross-compiling one, since this seems to be a problem with BusyBox?

...Answering my own question, apparently yes. I'm going to try replacing the tar symlink to BusyBox with this native version and try again tonight, I'll let you know how it goes.

I had the same problem and the tar from your link worked for me for a 4GB tar extract. Thanks for your tip!
