[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePsych:
It's a Sense thing. I think most of what you're looking for is available stock on Sense based roms.

Someone just developed a new one based on the BAMF leak and it's pretty smooth.

Take a look at:

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] F350-6:
I'll look, but honestly, I really don't enjoy switching to new roms. It takes me forever to get everything up and running the way I want it and to learn almost enough to function daily with it. I do like the list view though, so I'll keep an eye on reports of battery life. I did try the BAMF leak and was extremely disappointed with the battery life (running extended battery) and data drops. That was my first new rom (I originally rooted just to get rid of bloatware), and I was complaining about my dislikes on another forum when someone pointed me to Liquid's version here. I downloaded Jesters beta version and loved it compared to the BAMF leak. After having read all the internet articles, I was under the impression that the BAMF leak was the cat's meow. Now I realize those articles are about as unbiased as the national so called news.

Is Santod's new sense rom as laggy as the BAMF leak, or have they tweaked that out of it by now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FirePsych:
Almost no comparison to BAMF. Much smoother. Honestly, not as smooth as Liquid/Jester but data/signal seems more stable and almist everything works.

If visual stuff, contrast and ease if use are issues for you, it's worth a spin. I'm also running Apex. I don't know if that contributes to lag over the native Sense, but it has the features I want.

Yeah, switching toms is a royal pain, but you do what ya gotta do.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicemblem:
Hi guys, I could successfully unpacked and repacked system.img on 4.0.4 for my Galaxy S III by learning from xda, add root files, delete unnecessary system apps, etc, and using "tar -cvf ...." to make an tar pack to flash with ODIN, thx to all xda developpers.

But when I did this again on new GSIII 4.1.1 firmwares like DI2, My phone jammed in the 2nd screen, could someone help me?

Here is what I did on 4.1.1 firmwares in Ubutu, just like what I did on 4.0.4

1. unpack system.img from tar files

2. exchange system.img to system.img.ext4 in Ubutu

3. unpack system.img.ext4 with

mkdir systest; mount -o rw,loop system.img.ext4 systest

oh just forget the folder name.

4. modify the files in systest folder blablabla

5. repack system.img from systest folder using

sudo mkuserimg.sh -s systest systest-new.img ext4 temp 1536M

6. then make a new tar file to flash with recovery.img, hidden.img etc.

This tar file could be flashed with ODIN successfully, but like I said above, my phone didn't response in the 2nd screen with Samsung logos, I've wiped userdata in stock recovery but it didn't work.

Then I didn't modify any files, just unpack and repack system.img, flash it with ODIN, my phone remains the same :rolleyes:

Could someone kindly to figure it out what I did wrong on new 4.1.1 firmwares? Is it about Samsung file format in 4.1.1?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicemblem:
Oh no replies until now...:crying:

I tested other 4.1.1 firmwares, unpack and repack system.img, then zip into new tar file, flash it, also stuck on the Samsung Logo with vibration

but it worked on all 4.0.4 firmwares

So I'm running 3rd Dimension Anorexia and I'm loving it so far. My only beef with it is the camera. I just don't like it. Is there anyway to, like the title says, get the same camera app from sense on here?
[HTC EVO 3D] raptoro07:
Nope. The sense camera, like the rest of sense related things, requires the sense framework to operate.

Well are there any other camera apps out there that anyone could recommend that are more similar to the sense one?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prairie-dad:
It's easy to find statistics on what OS people are using...Windows, Mac OS, Linux, etc., right down to which version of each. Likewise, it's easy to find statistics on what browsers people use on those platforms...from IE (all versions) through Firefox and Safari and on down the line...Opera and Midori and iCab and Galeon and Epiphany and ton of others...(anyone remember the Oracle browser...or Mac-and WinWeb?!)

But what about in the Android world...software _and_ hardware? How many Vision/Desire Z/G2 users are there...how many stock(s) versus rooted...FroYo, GB, ICS, JB...?? CM vs. Virtuous vs. MIUI vs. ILWT vs. EliteMod etc., etc., etc.

I'm amazed by the high quality of the development being done here, as well as the high quality of the forums (which remind me of old Gentoo and current ArchLinux forums...) but has anyone an even vague, supportable idea of just how many folks are really benefiting from all the devs work?

Are we talking thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? Any notion of where we all might be? I'm really curious...and haven't a clue how to go about finding out!

thanks and regards,

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Maybe ask google?

The 4ext recovery app shows how many downloads are there for each version, that may help get an understanding of how many people use 4ext for the g2.

So maybe ask the developers of the more common roms how many downloads they tend to get of each version. You could also try asking developers of roms and recoveries that are offered under many phones or at least more popular phones to get an idea. Kocsh's clockworkmod recovery is avalible for many android phones and tablets so he may have a good idea, also the cyanogen team should have a decent understanding of who and (maybe) how many use their base.

I know none of these will get you all that close to your answer but it may be a start.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BristolMatt:
About a year ago, I bought my first Android phone, the SE Arc and I spent a long while looking up how to unlock my bootloader, install the DoomKernel and then install the Arconium ROM. It all went without a hitch.

Fast forward to earlier this month, and a colleague was showing me his new ICS phone, and tonight I decided it was time to update my ROM...

[EDIT] Initial error solved - fastboot issues. Please see next post for update to problem.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BristolMatt:
Now I cannot boot into Arconium. Steps I've performed:

1) Flash to baseband 72 using fastboot

2) Install custom kernel (ArcKnight 3.5.1) using flashtool

3) Boot into custom kernel, wipe data & cache in CWM (wiping Davlik cache returns E: failed to find "userdata" partition to mount at "/data")

4) Install ArcKnight modules zip (wifi, etc) in CWM

5) Install Arconium 4.0 zip in CWM

6) Reboot

And I am then stuck on an "Xperia" logo indefinitely. Can anyone shed some light?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
See the guides and stickys.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason statham:
Do a factory reset (data & cache) and wipe Dalvik cache.

I think what you did wrong the first time was fastboot boot <name_of_kernel>.img instead of fastboot flash boot <name_of_kernel>.img

What kernel are you trying to flash?

Unless you're using a stock kernel, you shouldn't have the Xperia boot logo.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BristolMatt:
I have read the guides and stickies, and I've successfully rooted and customised my Android in the past. Your post is not helpful. Also, my initial problem (using fastboot correctly) has now been solved, and I'm still left with a brick which can only go into the kernel. None of the guides or stickies have helped me troubleshoot this, but then again there are literally dozens of guides, and I may have missed the one with the right semantics to help me solve this.

I've tried flashing the Dalvik - it says "E: failed to find 'userdata' partition to mount at '/data'". Tried to mount /data in CWM, but I get an error. Have a feeling this might be the problem...? Also, when wiping data, I'm told that there is no app2sd partition, so format of /sd-ext is skipped.

Also, that was my bad in my post, as it was early in the morning when I wrote it. I did have the flash added, and the kernel was successfully installed. I am now using fastboot within FlashTool to successfully flash the kernel.

I'm flashing ArcKnight kernel (3.5.1), also tried Lupus to no avail.

Nice post, friendly XDA member.

Look at my timestamp and my location. 9 hours since my first post was overnight, as my first post was made at about 1am. I spent about 6 hours last night (about 3 hours prior to posting and 3 hours after) looking through the guides and stickies (including your Newb guide), before giving up and going to bed.

Your second post in this thread was helpful and you could have been a lot more helpful initially by saying something like "not doing fastboot properly". As I said before I'm perfectly capable of searching the forums and reading threads (which I had been doing for hours), but there is literally so much info out there which can mean it's like looking for a needle in a haystack, especially in the wee hours of the morning after a full day in work.

Why the elitist attitude?

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] pprnts:
Hello, sorry for creating a 'HELP I don't know what to do!' thread, but I really am stuck now.

I had some Adrenaline rom for quite a while but today I decided to go back to stock because I was having some minor problems.

I suppose flashing stock went okay. I've got the stock recovery now, but the phone loops on boot. With the help of this thread I've figured this is because the previous rom (probably) used ext4 whereas stock needs rfs. That guy got it working by going through adb doing something that I can't even get to because adb doesn't recognize my phone. (I've tried installing drivers for adb but Windows doesn't want to use them because it thinks its own drivers are superior, even though I've uninstalled these, it keeps reinstalling them)

I also can't get CWM working. I've run the root update.zip and that seemed to go fine, but when installing CWM the screen just freezes and the phone reboots when pressing the home button.

I'm kind of stuck on how to revive my gio, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Edit: SOLVED, thread may be deleted. Went to try flashing CWM through odin (ext4+rfs) and during the reboot phase my phone suddenly booted into the android OS. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] joederp:
Gesture search is an amazing app. You really need to have it, you can find any contact of app by name, or setting menu.

The one problem at least on Galaxy S3 is the "double flip" gesture to launch the program.

It if very troublesome, and it loads the logcat system log with an error of

(643) inv_get_mag_rate

And it is logging the error every 20 ms...

So I can imagine it will eat up battery life, but you can disable "double flip" which is really a single flick.

If you want tips to using it, hold the phone in the plane of Earth magnetic field then get a 90 degree rotation

and it mostly senses the speed you flip it back. I've found looking at the screen (let's say right hand)

if you rotate CCW 30 degrees, then flip it works well. It does not like if the phone is parallel to the floor

then you try the flip.

Is there any way to launch it with a long press from the stock 4.0.4??

If you have a question,

. If you want to ask about install issues, how to get into devving, or rabid toasters,

POST IT HERE

. I am closing off the dev thread now that this is created. If you post there without a constructive helpful comment (I will put up criteria there), you will get yelled at, beaten, and sent to slink back to your hole from whence you came.

Okay, now that that's over, I will be providing support in this thread. I am not mean, scary, nasty, or like to drown puppies for fun, despite what the impression the above may give you. I am actually a very helpful person (as most pre-existing members here will agree), and will try to help you, even if you think it's a stupid question.

One rule here: Search first!

I cannot emphasize how important this is. As I said, I am more than happy to answer questions, but for the love of god please don't post something like "wherez the ICS guyzz, I don;t see it in this thrad, this forum sukks". Please use search first before posting. Thank you, and have a nice day.

I would hold off, but only for a little while longer, there are a few details (market download fix and proper sdcard support) that need to be added into the next ROM build so you don't have to ADB push things or use terminal to enter code after every boot, once those issues are fixed then it should be a good daily. But, if your comfortable and know how to ADB push files and stuff like that then go for it, just remember you WILL be charging it EVERY night due to the deep sleep bug inherited from the CM7 kernel that was used as the base for our CM9 kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] da1writer:
Is it possible to fix that deep sleep bug?

My milestones that need to be crossed for daily usage would be:

H/W Acceleration

SD Card fixed (internal and external)

Deep Sleep

if/when Oisis gets a 3.0.x kernel up and going (after he gets his player) hopefully the deep sleep bug will be no more, since its a carry over from the CM7 base kernel and if we have a new kernel that should solve that issue, and should get us to where bluetooth, camera and H/W acceleration could all be possible aswell.

Han, while we wait for Oisis to get his player and do his magic can we get one more build that has the fixed vold.fstab to have both internal and external memory working normally without having to ADB push files to the player and the market fix (if there's an easy way to do it)?

A build with a fixed vold.fstab is possible but for the market fix, this is something related to the initrd that actually needs one more line of code for it to be activated lool.
