[HTC Desire S] Reamox:
Hi all. Ive got a desire s unlocked with HTCdev and I'm using PARANOIDANDROID true hybrid jelly bean ROM which is very unstable for my taste(it makes often random reboots,every YouTube video stops on 17th second and the phone reboots...). while I was searching for more stable ROMs like ICS aosp ROMs, full sense,light sense,sense 3.6 ROMs and many more I came to a problem. I've downloaded maybe 20 ROMs and flashed them like the dev said, and 90% of them just get stuck at the boot animation and won't boot. I waited 30 mins for each of these ROMs, but none did boot. I wiped everything the way the devs said and tried reflashing them a couple of times,but nothing changed. There are many very good ROMs out there which I am not able to try because of my problem. I look forward to hear an answer to my problem. :(
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Two posts, same question in each really. Have you unlocked your phone with HTCDev? If so then you need to flash the correct kernel for the ROM each time.

Next time, search before posting please - all the answers are out there already :eek:
[HTC Desire S] tep_kubo:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

if you are flashing so many roms, then you're better off downgrading your bootloader, flash the engineered hboot and gain s-off so that you don't have to do this every time
[HTC Desire S] Reamox:
How do I find exact kernel for every ROM? I'm relatively new to all this so maybe my question is a bit stupid...
[HTC Desire S] Reamox:
You mean that I have to do it via USB and PC? What do you mean by boot.img, is that a separate file from the ROM? If it is how do I find it, extract it etc... I'm really new to this so I don't get it so easily...
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
Your question isn't stupid - but you need to start reading. All that you need to know is answered - read the stickies, read the threads and try to understand what you are doing and why you are doing it.

Just asking questions and blindly expecting people to spoon-feed you the answers is a good way to make sure that you screw-up at some point and have real problems getting your phone back again.

Depends on which site you want to browse which has flash. There is one browser called Metro browser in the marketplace, not free, but it has limited flash support ie. supports certain sites only. I have not used it though.

Hey All,

For those curious about how the Portenzo case works for the Nexus 7, you can check out my review below:

You can see the video review here:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] 911C2S:
Nice looking case.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Fluxman:
Ya, it is actually a very well built case. Feels premium. Also, I'm sure people will be less likely to steal it bc it looks like a book when closed lol
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Sengir:
Very good case,does anybody know where is available in Europe?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Fluxman:
You can't pick them up in stores since they are custom made and shipped. They do ship Worldwide, so you can order it, it will just take a while if you get the cheapest shipping option. Since I live in Canada, shipping is around $14, but worldwide looks to be around $17, so not too much of a difference.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Sengir:
Not so expensive shipment..thank you then!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Fluxman:
Ya, it's not too bad. The wait can take a while, but since it's handmade, I'll usually let it go. Also, if you chat with them down below are asked really nice, they may give you a coupon code... ;)

I am also waiting to get my hands on the Alano cases, but those are really premium lol

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yokuyuki:
I bought this wall charger from Amazon and when I charge my phone with it, it shows up as charging via USB instead of AC which means it'll be pulling 450 mA instead of 650 mA. Is there any way to make it detect the wall charger properly?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Immortalis:
Voltage is controlled mainly by charger, not phone, so I think your phone charges with 600 mA.

But if you charge with lower voltage, your battery will live longer.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinvam:
I believe you have to short the middle two data leads.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jokesy:
The only way to do that is by increasing USB charging current to 650mA.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chairmansaab:
LoL ! I have official wall charger which i got with my Galaxy s2 and my phone detect it as USB :( btw it happens on a custom rom that i am using.

I used ex tweak app from play store ( Works only with siyah kernal) and set usb to 650 mAh

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ericande:
I'm currently running Stock w Goodies 1.75, I'm S-ON & H-boot 1.12.

I'd like to flash my radio since it's all still on the original but from what I've read I can only flash my radio using recovery and need to be S-OFF to flash everything and do it from the bootloader. Given my current setup, should I 1) Just flash the radio from recovery or 2) Flash the ROM suggested in the LazyPanda thread (Fresh 5.1.1 w/ 1.13), get S-Off and then flash everything before moving back to my current setup? Are there any issues with going that route besides it just taking some time?

Thanks!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
S-off is really the way to go. There's some risk involved so take your time. After you get s-off you can flash any updates directly without using an ruu or reverting to stock and taking ota
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bog3nator:
just follow post number 2, i used fresh 5.1.1 and it worked perfect, then i flashed the new hboot, then the firmware then the rom of choice...just to be safe i rebooted the device after each install

[Asus Transformer TF700] 350zxtrm:
I'm just wondering if anyone has any other useful tips on improving the performance of the TFI?

I've already done the tweaks in the "[HOW-TO] Some tweaks to sweeten your life with the Infinity a little" which did help somewhat, but this thing is still a bit sluggish.
[Asus Transformer TF700] BxMxK:
Absolutely. We keep all the best information hidden out of reach of a simple search. The real key is to nest it deeply beneath tons of stupid questions like this one.

Seriously. This post is exactly why threads with important/pertinent information are made sticky.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 350zxtrm:
Thanks for the helpful reply (sarcasm).

I've looked through just about every thread on this forum in regards to this. I referenced the sticky thread that seemed to have most of the best tweaks already listed.

Sorry for thinking someone might have some insight on why when the TFI in particular performs so poorly even compared to the Prime (I had one of those also).

I've been on this forum for 3 years and to be perfectly honest your answer is the reason I don't bother posting on most forums. I went out of my way to keep it in the Q&A section (because it is a question and I didn't want to post in a section where it would just clutter things up).

MODS, please close as you see fit. I'd guess (by the lack of productive posts) that there isn't anything out there that I haven't already found and being flamed serves no real purpose.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
I will take a stab at a useful suggestion rather than bashing you for your innocent question.

The prime has had some performance gains by mounting the /data to /sd:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1803252

May be something to try on the tf700.. hope that was more helpful than the snarky bashing that many posters here feel is warranted when anyone asks a question. We need to be nicer around here and if there is nothing useful for you to add to a thread... then don't post, just pm a moderator if you think the thread is not relevant.
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
My honest answer is that the best performance improvement will come from root/unlock/TWRP recovery and flashing Zeus Rom v4.0, now and possibly AOSP Jelly Bean or CM10 when they are ready to flash. I always find more good performance comes from custom software than from stock.
[Asus Transformer TF700] 350zxtrm:
@ Jordanmw - Thanks for the tip, I'll take a look later tonight when I get home from work.

@okantomi - I think you are probably right. I unlocked the Prime shortly after getting it and just basically figured no biggie. The only reason I haven't done it with the Infinity is because it performed so poorly out of the box that my gut reaction was that it was going to have to go back... I'll probably end up doing it though.

I do seem to be making some headway on the issue. I went through and tested some slightly modified build.prop tweaks (modified compared to the tweak thread I referenced in the OP). Added a few others and started to play around with getting init.d working so I can run some other scripts during startup rather than having multiple "tweaking" programs running. Ultimately I'll probably just end up unlocking and using one of the custom roms, but in the meantime I figured it wouldn't hurt to spend a little time learning some new tricks.

Appreciate the helpful feedback guys. Also, Once I get to where I feel the Infinity is performing the way I want, I'll post what I did (giving all credit to those who's work I benefited from of course).
[Asus Transformer TF700] okantomi:
That would be awesome. I've just flashed the Team Baked Black Beans Infinity Jelly Bean ROM and it's really nice. Will need to do some tweaks but init.d support is build in so it should be pretty easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vlambrecht:
Hello all.

This is more of a solution that I will post, but also a question - why.

So, here's my story.

I purchased an unlocked maguro yakjuux 4.0.1 GSM Galaxy Nexus, after playing around with it, I decided to unlock the bootloader and root it - no big deal. Got an OTA update that upgraded my phone to 4.0.2, however broke my NFC ability, so I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Flashed 4.1.1 JB (Official stock image).

Everything worked fine, until one glorious day it stopped detecting as removable storage. Upon googling, I found that people had similar issues with custom kernels and the "fast charge" USB charging option, however, as I am using the stock kernel, this did not apply to me.

I unplugged the Nexus, brought it over to another computer, plugged it in, and got "USB Device Not Recognized" - "device malfunction" - no media connection (data transfer) and also, it stopped charging as well! It just charged via USB on my other machine, but no longer.

Brought it back to the other machine, and yep, device malfunction, no charge no mass storage removable device.

I thought about trying to mount the storage under my custom TWRP recovery that I flashed along with the Stock JB image, nothing.

Pulled out the power, battery, plugged the battery back in, and then the micro-USB cable. And behold, it shows the "Chaging" image (White battery symbol that you get when you charge via AC/USB power with the phone off). I thought that the situation was fixed.

Restart - plug in - same thing! How the heck is it NOT charging (note, I waited for it to charge with the phone off, so the battery DID charge) over USB power (and AC power) with the phone on?

This lead me to believe that there was something up with the phones software.

I loaded up TWRP, made a backup and then was ready to revert to stock (wipe - factory reset), Then I wiped the cache partition, and the Dalvik cache.

I then thought, what the heck, why not reboot and give it another shot, and it worked! The phone started charging and detecting again!

Why? Why did wiping the caches fix it? And furthermore, what happened?

So to anyone that has a similar issue, perhaps a Wipe of the cahces (both Dalvik and regular cache) might fix it - if you have CWM or TWRP, if not, I think you might have to do a factory reset.
[Desire HD General] -SmOgER:
Is it comes with the back of the phone or as a seperate part?

I know you can buy just the frame, but how about OEM parts in official shops?

Repair shop is telling me they could replace only the whole back of the phone which is expensive as hell obviously.

Alternatively, does anyone succeeded in polishing it with some metal polisher ? Or shouldn't I even bother doing it ?

So far I have tried grinding it with no success sadly. :cowboy:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacmachdien:
I'm currently in the final stage of the installation and my phone has been stucking at the "CynanogenMod" boot screen for 5 minutes now. Is this a normal situation? Or the installation failed?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I'd say fail, reflash the ROM and try again.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hacmachdien:
reflashing :D
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KartzXDA:
Hi

Before flashing the rom clear cache partition, dalvik cache. If you are first time flashing CM10 do factory reset.

Most of the time bootloop occurs if we don't clear dalvik cache.

Happy flashing. All the best. :good:

Hit "Thanks" if anyone helped you. :good:

ROM Manager Problems

It appears that the issues are stemming from ROM Mgr and CWM.

Even with these installed, I cannot install from SD Card. Is there a different way to do this?

Or a better ROM Manager program?

I have never had issues like this on other Android phones.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] evo3d6:
I would not recommend rom manager just hold vol up and power your rom should have cwm recovery with it if not go to development and find the one that matches your build and flash that way.

Here is how to get mms working for metropcs, ICS, FI27. This zip file is for the FI27 on ICS, I haven't tested it on other ICS versions or custom rom. I am using the touchwiz rom. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGES- PLEASE DO SO ON YOUR OWN RISK

To check what build number you're on:

Settings/about phone/Build number (last four)- this one is for FI27

BACK UP YOUR PHONE IF YOU HAVE CWM OR CUSTOM RECOVERY

Sorry that I can't give credit for this zip file- I know I found it here on XDA- please let me know or give credit to the OP of the zip file.

Your smartphone has to have CWM to flash a zip file. If not, I will include the files necessary to get Custom Recovery. If you already have CWM or Custom Recovery just flashed the zip file "Epic4Touch-credomobile-ics-mms-testfix-signed"- place or move this file onto your sd card or internal card

Flash a zip file, power off/press power button and volume up at the same time/install zip from sd card/power button/choose zip from sdcard/find your zip file/power/reboot

How to install Custom Recovery (CREDIT: kbking77)

Must have Odin installed on Samsung S2 and rooted.

1.	Put AGAT FI27 REPACK into your Samsung

2.	Start Odin (on your Samsung), it will ask if you want to install add on-

3.	Click on Kernel and select where you installed the AGAT file in (internal or external)

4.	Once you find the AGAT file, select it

5.	Click flash firmware and continue when asking about your battery, if it is under 50%

6.	A warning telling to continue at your own risk, press continue

7.	Another dialogue box pops up with MD5 signatures have been detected, press check

8.	Your Samsung will restart, wait until it boots up completely and then power off (power down)

9.	press and hold power button and volume button up at the same time until the Galaxy logo pops on

10.	your now have the ability to flash, update…

Hope this helps you get MMS on your metropcs flashed S2- mine is still working.

Update: I removed a zip file that did not work. The working zip file is below.
