[General Questions and Answers] lat00uk:
Just signed up these forums as I have a recently unlocked/rooted my HTC One X then thought of a couple of things that it would be handy for me to know, sorry if some of this stuff has been asked before... lol

I left Apple land finally a few months ago after getting a HTC One X (best move I ever made) and a few days ago I decided to root the phone and start looking at the ROMs and stuff so after about 3 hours work, I managed to root the handset and Im now using CM10 with Jellybean 4.1.

Now my biggest question is how does everyone else manage with apps and stuff that you have downloaded onto a ROM but want to put them back on when changing/updating to a different ROM? Is it simply a case of backing up the app(s) with Titanium, installing a new ROM, re-installing Titanium and then restoring the backup of the app to minimize downtime? Especially with the CM build being released daily.

I haven't updated the CM10 since sunday as I dont really want to have to re-install everything, every time I update.

How does everyone else do it?
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Most.of us use Titanium backup and reinstall all our apps each and ever time

This is one of the things you get used to when running custom roms
[General Questions and Answers] a.cid:
There's a batch backup and restore option, + scheduling backups...

Stuff like these make it handy...

I usually have to spend 30-45mins on backing up my apps, and then another 1-1.5hrs on restoring...depending on the no and size of apps...

Like zel said, after a while, you get used to it...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
Hi there. I just took a look at the firmware you flashed and seen the problem straight away.

I9300XXBLH1 Download (Thanks To SamMobile!)

Base Firmware: I9300XXBLH1 (4.0.4)

Region Europe

Country: Nordic Countries

Carrier: Unbranded

Build Date: 31 July 2012

Modem: XXLH1

CSC: NEEBLH1

Change List: 928452

Notice above that the region says Europe. And for it to work on Indian Networks it needs to be an Indian Unbranded firmware.

So the reason it because of the Region you downloaded was not the one needed.

I would advice either going back to the firmware you had before, or finding an Indian Official Firmware mate.

Hope this has helped
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wbbigdave:
Don't panic I have been there and done that.

You should be able to not enter a code and still use the phone offline. If you can do that you should be able to access the functions and see if the ROM is rooted, if it isn't grab yourself a copy of the toolkit http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1703488 and use it to root the ROM. Once you have done that you will be able to access root functionality and allow you to run applications such as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1846451&highlight=voodoo

Good luck ROM warrior. hopefully you will unlock your device and join us in the promised land.

Personally I got fed up of that shift a while ago so i started buying unbranded phones.

Yea thats just the first one in the Thread if you actually scrolled down you would find many more stock ROMS. one of which he probably flashed.

Hi ..Just to let you know that is not true.... I live in Zimbabwe (Southern Africa) were the firmware is XEF.... I am using BTU british firmware in Africa without any problem and getting british updates. I know a lot of people who use all sorts of different country versions in their country... As long as your rom version matches your csc it will be fine. If it doesnt then one can manually change the csc and get official updates of the new firmware version.

Cheers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmoraru:
Hello everybody,

I know that threads regarding the "network control lock key" topic already exist on this forum, but please bear with me for a moment.

Basically, my problem is:

- I have a phone bought as "freeware" (as in, not bound to any phone service provider);

- I have a Vodafone prepaid SIM;

- I have an Orange internet USB Stick (it has a SIM inside of it);

So, what I'm trying to do is take out the Orange SIM (the one used for internet), and put it inside my phone to create a wireless hotspot. I know it works on other phones, but not on my S9001.

When I put the internet SIM in, it asks for a pin; after the pin, it asks for a network control lock key, and here is where I get stuck.

I've entered * 2767 * 3855 # in the dialer to reset the phone to factory settings, but it was to no avail.

Again, my problem concerning the "network control lock key" is not about the phone service (the phone is unlocked), but about the internet access.

To make it clearer, after the * # 7465625 #, the message i'm getting is as follows:

Network lock ON

Network subset lock OFF

SP lock OFF (service provider, aka phone service)

CP lock OFF

So I have to get rid of the network lock, not the service provider lock.

If anybody can help, please do :)

If rooting my phone will be involved, please add a link on how to do it, because i have no idea of how it's done.

Thanks in advance for your help and patience.

Hi everyone, i've searched this to no end, and cannot find the answer.

I had nightly 7/7 working great and decided to flash to the latest nightly 9/3 and 9/9. Also flashed Gapps to 4/13

Formatted the system partition, wiped davlik cache and normal cache and Fixed permissions.. but now when my touchpad starts up, Superuser is denied access to Root Explorer, Anatu CPU clock thing is also denied access..

I have tried to delete the superuser app, and redownloaded it but it still fails in trying to do any updates.

anyone know whats going on? did anyone else loose superuser access when moving to the newer nightly?:confused:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
there are o so many things that can drain a battery , roms, radios, apps, etc

you will need to get slightly more specific such as your radio, how many hours does it last between charges, how long is the screen on for? and as much detail as you can.

also if you google search for ways to improve battery life on android phones you will get a whole lot of info, most will be goo and do it. personally id say stay away from any task killers or adding apps like juice defender (all though this is debatable) but try some things out and or give some more info. worse case scenario a new battery is cheap

I have the Sprint Siii, but I'm hoping it's the same for you guys, nobody can help me out on my forums.

I want to send a text when I swipe an NFC tag.

When I use the stock Samsung NFC app, the most it does it fill out the message and the "to" fields. I have to send it manually though.

I downloaded NFC Task Launcher and both plugins for it.

Most I can get it to do is fill out the fields, but I have to manually send it. I tried regular message and the uri one. Both do the same thing, but don't send.

Anyone get it to work at all?

Use NFC Smart Q - in my opinion the best NFC App on the Market and FREE! You can set up a text message (Text "On my way home") to specific contact (Your spouse) and program it to a tag. Then when you tap the tag, it will automatically send that message. You do not have to hit anything - it just does it in the background. Works awesome! Link to app on Google Play: NFC Smart Q

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nipqer:
If you have true S-OFF you can do this.

Though flashing that rom will replace your custom recovery and put you back to ship hboot.

If you extract the rom.zip from that exe, you can then delete the recovery.img and hboot...nb0 from it, to stop them being replaced.

You would then need to run psneuter and root_psn from the rooting guide to get root access back (or just flash an su package if you kept custom recovery)
