If I were to backup my current rom which is the latest CM10 build, then flash to a touchwiz rom and update my prl, would the prl still be updated when I restore my backup of CM10?

Hello i need help unrooting my evo lte.I used zedomax method to get super su.I didnt know or should i say i didnt read that it doesnt unlock the booloader.the process is to complicated for me.Iam now trying to unroot and return to stock.I know if you go into super su you can undo the changes to go back to your prevthat were made.my bootloader is locked.I have s-on.I have been trying to install the ruu that matches my phones software settings.i downloaded the drivers for the evo.I downloaded microsoft framework 4.0.my problem is this every time i go to install the ruu it fails because my drivers go back to saying android 1.0 and when i try to update drivers it does not let me.i am running on windows 7 64bit.this is really getting annoying.Is there any way to install the ruu through the bootloader?One more thing i tried putting the phone in fastboot on the bootloader but i still get the android 1.0 and i cant update the drivers on my pc..I am running software version 1.12.651.1 710rd.If anyone can help i would really appreciate it thanks.P.S pardon my poor grammer.

How to Root/Unroot HTC Evo 4G LTE! [Windows/Mac/Linux][One-Click][<=1.22.651.1]

A quick peek at the android development section would have been quick and painless
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] enviidisnut:
not working

I did check out the thread.Im following the intructions.Like i said before when installing the ruu and my phone try s to reboot into the bootloader i get a error code 171.Thats because i cant update the drivers during the process.I go from my htc to android 1.0 and i cant update the drivers.Also one more thing my software version is displayed as 1.13.651.1_r2.But the ruu i downloaded only say 1.13.651.1.Can i still use that ruu?I cant seem to find a ruu thast has the _r2 at the end.Im sorry that im being a pain in the butt.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
No its not that you are being a pain it's just that there's been a rash of people trying to revert to stock to take the ota. They all ask the same question and then they don't follow the directions or they don't read them correctly and end up back here with more issues. Try flashing a stock recovery and take the ota
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] aperezlol101:
A couple days ago I felt the same exact way thinking if anything happens to my phone I can't return it to sprint or anyone I rooted the same exact method that you did but I did my research and eventually gave up on trying to flash a ruu over being rooted with the boot loader unlocked has way more perks then having stock sense 4.0 if you ever need to update radios or anything upgrade the android software later on all you do is flash it there's so many people on xda to help you along the way as well believe me I thought I messed up my phone several times but like I said thanks to the good people at xda I'm enjoying my phone a lot better then the day I bought it brand new

Thank you. :)

May I ask what part, or aspect, off cm10 makes this possible?

Has it something to do with CIFS? or NFS...?

Or maybe modifications to the Bluetooth.apk in the /system/ folder...?

Basically--

I'd like to narrow down what fixes/overrides the limitation.

And maybe even find a way to apply the "fix" on it's own.

Thanks for any guidance. :)

When you scroll on up and down in an app or a launcher, the words or icons fade and or flicker when they move. For example, Go launcher seems to fade worse than say Nemus launcher. So the question is why and how to resolve it? Is it...

FPS?

Refresh rate?

The way a particular way an app is written?

GPU??

Anybody with some technical expertise know what the deal is with this? Anyway to rectify or diminish the issue?

There is not an issue with my phone. It's an android issue in general. Would it be possible to lock the display at a certain FPS if thats the case?

Thanks guys!

I was thinking about purchasing a Samsung Galaxy Music Player 5.0 for my mom but for the price/specs I notice a used Infuse is a better deal. I was thinking of just buying a used Infuse off ebay and turning it into just a Music Player/Camera. Is there way to make the phone work with out a sim card? and without it displaying no sim card?

Yes u can use it wothout the simcard but will show a sign in the status bar that there in no simcard.

You will have no problems...I do it all the time, the HTC vivid is my main phone so i rarely have my sim in my infuse...market works, YouTube works, browser works...everything works as long as you have WiFi...if you don't have WiFi then obviously things that require internet will not work

I gave my daughter my hd2 when I left t-mo. I put android on it (basically the only way that phone was usable) and she uses it for games and YouTube just fine. I even found an app that was free that gave her a phone number and a way to send and receive texts with as long as she's on wifi. Next time I'm playing around I'm going to see if I can use that number to sign her up for a voip service.

Android is a wonderful thing!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] dparrothead1:
You can use Google Voice in conjunction with app such as Talkatone, get a number from Google and make/receive free calls and text over WiFi.

I use this setup with my N7 and it works great.....no data plan or phone service required...and even better, these are free apps!!!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] qkster:
Also set the phone to airplane mode. Then toggle on wifi.

Airplane mode may stop it from searching for phone radio signal and conserve battery. I don't know if not having a sim card in will already do that.

Airplane mode on her phone is constant.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DearestLeader:
Sorry if this has already been asked, but how is the Samsung Glide? I have been using an HTC Status (ChaCha) for years, and just recently rooted. I liked the form factor and keyboard, but the internal memory was miserably limited, even after rooting and getting rid of bloatware, moving apps to SD, etc. The sound from the speaker was pretty poor too (I am aware that Beats audio can be installed to rooted phones ... have yet to try that) and putting the SD card slot underneath the battery is awkward. I have gotten a handle on Android's strengths and weaknesses (Gingerbread) so I will have a better idea of what to expect for my next phone. I definitely prefer a physical keyboard, and most Android based phones do not have one, or have poor specs. The Captivate Glide seems to measure up. I have read the specs GSM Arena gave on this phone,and it seems pretty good. It claims that it has Flash. Is this Adobe Flash, or something along the lines of HTC Status' Flash Lite? I definitely want Adobe Flash support, even if Adobe plans to end future support. I have an LG Neon lying around, a basic phone with a slide out keyboard ... it was okay, but for some weird reason only recognized one key input at a time, which made playing video games like Galaga miserable, even though the graphics were quite close to the arcade. I need to be able to press more than one key input at a time! I am also interested in Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean, neither of which would likely run very well on the Status, if they even can run. I have read of Glide users having a lot of problems with ICS. Should I wait for another phone with ICS preloaded, or just wait for a better Glide optimized ICS or Jelly Bean? Finally, how easy was it to root this phone? Rooting the Status was a real pain, as the HTC Dev software was getting me nowhere, by claiming the rom version is not supported ... even after the AT&T update. I bought the XTC Clip and couldn't get it to work, until a friend of mine got it working right (stick the flex cable in real tight in the SIM slot) and put on CWM and SuperUser. Somehow it did not unlock the carrier though. Anything like this for the Glide? How is the battery life?

[HTC One S] Doughh:
Just tried AIO. Finally unlocked the bootloader! Now im confused on what to do lol..
[HTC One S] HidaKureku:
if you have root then all that's left is to boot up into recovery (volume down and power then select recovery from the bootloader) and flash a custom rom .zip file from your sd card. just be sure to follow all the installation steps for your selected rom (i recommened AOKP Jelly Bean, check my signature for the link if you like) and always ALWAYS wipe data/cache before installing a new rom. and happy flashing :D
[HTC One S] O0cynix0o:
First things first you need to boot into recovery (I use Goo Manager for this; Im lazy like that. It will also install the TWRP recovery.) and make a backup of the stock ROM your running now and keep a copy on your PC. Some times the contents of the SD Card can be corrupted. If any thing goes wrong your going to need something to go back to.

Then depending on your needs (AOSP/Sence) location in the world (EU/US) and what kind of One S (S3/S4) you have; you want to pick a ROM that's suits your needs.

I would stay away from Viper for now at least till your more secure with flashing, there are some extra steps like flashing a different boot.img; which can soft brick your phone or worse.

Start with something like Axiom S, for all your Sence needs. Or CodefireX CM10 for AOSP. If you use TWRP for your recovery you won't have to fast boot flash the boot.IMG for the ROM you chose. But again this depends on the ROM you choose to use, some ROMs don't play well with TWRP.

But most of all read. And then read some more. And when you think you know what your doing read a little more. This device seems to be real finicky. What works on one might not work on a another.

Good luck, be safe and welcome to the One S Forums!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkshado:
Hello DearestLeader (that's an interesting choice of nickname given the origin of the devices being discussed!)

There are a few threads reviewing the device. I've played with one prior to giving it (SGH-I927R) to my girlfriend, so I won't be able to comment on all aspects of the phone.

If you're buying outright, another, more expensive (500$ outright) model that might be worth looking into is T-Mobile USA's recently announced Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G (SGH-T699). Same screen, worse camera (5MP versus 8MP for the 927), DC-HSPA 42 instead of HSPA 21, and a Snapdragon S4 Krait SoC instead of a Tegra 2. And it does support AT&T bands as well.

The ICS update for the Glide was just pulled from Kies, which indicates another build is on its way, likely fixing the issues reported here.

Rooting is easy: switch the phone to download mode, install CWM with Odin, install superuser zip of your choosing.

Unlocking is easy provided you're rooted and know how to use a hex editor.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] rogernizzLe:
If you're with Sprint, they released a new qwerty physical keyboard android called Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE. Comparable stats to our glide but it does have ICS preloaded.

I came from a Sony Ericsson k850i and couldn't live without buttons so I grabbed the Glide. It had a rough start not being as popular as other devices. We didn't get an official otterbox case or get official cyanogen mods but in the last few months, devs/testers/community really banded together and we have quite the support. We may not have ICS 100% but the hardworking devs and testers will take care of that. JB seems like a dream but who knows, someone just may surprise us.

Like Darkshado said, rooting & unlocking is fairly easy. There are many guides in the development sub-forum. Battery life was crap on gingerbread but improves quite a bit when on ICS. The only problem I've ever had was very minor GPS finding issues but I don't use it extensively so it was negligible.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lambgx02:
With the ICS update, the Captivate Glide is a spectacular device. :good:

There were several major issues with Gingerbread (compass orientation incorrect, general lag and instability, poor bluetooth audio quality and battery life, etc) but they've all been resolved by the update and the community.

The screen, while not the highest res (800x480) is AMOLED and looks great. The CPU, while not quad-core, is still plenty fast, and it has 1gb RAM. Onboard storage is pitiful, but add a 32gb SD card and swap /mnt/sdcard with /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, and your primary storage can become up to 64gb.

It's not LTE, but it is still pretty quick. On Rogers in Canada I get ~5mbit/s down and 2mbit/sec up, which is totally respectable.

It's also a very cheap device now, since it is somewhat dated. Honestly, I can't recommend another keyboard phone more highly.

My $0.02.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ericpeacock79:
bottom line, captivate glide is best phone available with physical keyboard.

even before ICS, i was highly please with the performance.

camera pics are GREAT

until they come out with a quad core phone with a physical keyboard, the only other phone i'd consider right now is a galaxy note.

i love this phone :good:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] DearestLeader:
Thanks for the replies!

I will have to stick with AT&T, as I am on my mother's plan and not only she but several other people I call or text regularly are on AT&T too.

I did try out the phone at the AT&T store and it was nice. However, the sales rep said units sold after August 26th will not run Adobe Flash (the in store unit did not have it but was downloadable from Google Play and ran great). He did have people returning units for lack of Adobe Flash (I do not ask if these folks tried rooting or if they even bothered to download from Google Play). If Flash is good to go, without rooting (have to wait to see if there are no defects lor serious flaws like frequent unexpected reboots before rooting, as my warranty would be void) then I am getting one.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkshado:
Worse case you could probably sideload the Flash apk onto the phone.

Remember that root's not supposed to void your warranty, there were some XDA portal posts about this iirc. Either way its nothing that a DIY stock re-flash wouldn't solve.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Shawn:
I have to stick with AT&T for the same reason. I love this phone though, but I just can't get used to the physical keyboard. My girlfriend texts and uses my phone sometimes and she loves the physical keyboard though. Overall its a good phone and I would recommend it to anyone wanting an android with decent specs.

I have the unlocked (and of course rooted) Samsung Galaxy Captivate Glide that I picked up used (but still in very good condition), and I can tell you that purchasing the phone (either old or new) is worth it, IMO. I like the fact that this phone have the hardware keyboard, decent organic LED screen, dual-core superscalar out-of-order Cortex A9 processor, and good 8MP camera. 4GB on-board storage didn't stop me from getting it. Loving this phone.

There is also few Android phone with the same hardward keyboard setup - try browsing through your favorite PC part internet store like Newegg as they sells both locked and unlocked smartphones nowaday too.

You can also buy a Bluetooth keyboard that's originally made for ipods that I seen once, they work for Android too I'm sure if you really want or need a keyboard.

I love this phone

I came from HTC g2 phone t-Mobile. I got this phone used off ebay in great condition. The company I work for is on att and I wanted a physical keyboard. Not too many to choose from. I use both on screen & physical keyboard equally. Rooting was a snap and am so happy with ics. Before ics I used dman's Inception v2 rom and loved it. Now I'm using nardrom 0.4 and hope dman comes out with a v3 rom. I'd recommend this phone to any one who likes the choice of a physical keyboard.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] euro1990:
If you need a physical keyboard, GSM service, and want a powerful phone, there really aren't many other options. I say get it, I love mine.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
I've been wondering about this myself. I love the Epic 4G, but I don't want to go back to Sprint, and I'm not too thrilled with Cricket (I don't love them nor hate them, they'll do for now). So I figure, get a Captivate Glide, unlock it, and go to Net10 or Straight Talk. The Captivate Glide appears to be a sort of unofficial successor to the Epic 4G, so it seems logical. Plus since its GSM I can take it with me whenever I travel outside the United States.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
Well I do use the GPS very extensively, so this is giving me pause in getting this phone. :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Depends on the Rom you are using for GPS. I have found GB to work great with the GPS but ICS is a little lack luster as it connects but only after about 10 minutes. Please be patient as a lot of people have mixed results and I am curious with CM9 or possibly CM10 with GPS once those roms are out of alpha.

JB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
Ah okay. See the most I was going to do to a Captivate Glide when I get it would be to root it. So basically if I root it I should go ahead and get a rom, preferably the one you mentioned (GB), until something better comes along. I have no problem waiting, and if GB is a good fix in the meantime, well problem solved.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
GB is not a rom per say but I meant Ginger Bread which is what it has installed by default. There are many GB Roms available I recommend OSIMOOD but I am sure many will recommend others. I have never had an issue with GPS on any of the available Gingerbread Roms. Only people that had issues with GPS and GB are not in North America and then you will have to do some tweak for it to work. Some have got that working and some have not. I am sure that is where you saw many posts on GPS for the glide having issues. Just go back and see those posts as to where the people are from. ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich) on the other hand has some issues where it can take a long time to connect but as I said before some people are working on this.

JB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ericpeacock79:
I use gps all the time on my Glide. The most issues I've had is a few time I've had to turn gas off and back on 2 or 4 times in a row.

But that only happened a few times in 5 months.

This ia using both the stock GB and the stock ICS , and after rooting ICS.

Overall, i would give GPS on my Glide 9.5 out of 10
[Samsung Captivate Glide] RodimusConvoy:
I see. So when I get a Glide, I can either leave it alone (let it stay on GB and not update it to ICS), or root it to stock GB. If I do the latter then I can get roms made just for the GB.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Yes there are many GB roms available. You choose what you want or need. If you want to stay stock and just root, you can as well. Android is very versatile. Take a look in the development forum with everything glide to see what is available.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] himanshuaroraer:
Does glide has a back lid key board?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
Keyboard's hidden under the screen. You push it from where the volume buttons are - the screen slides over, exposing the keyboard.
