My suggestions:

Titanium Backup: backup/restore app + app data + many more in Pro version

Mobile Odin app: on-device flashing for Samsung phones and tablets

TraingleAway app: remove yellow triangle and reset flash counter for Samsung phones and tablets

BBS: BetterBatteryStats need root for Alarm and Network stats

Terminal Emulator: Needs root for SU commands

Root Checker: checks if your Phone is rooted properly

Voltage Control: check and change min./max. CPU freq and available voltages for all freq when running on a compatible kernel

Elixir Widgets: need root for some nice system toogles/actions

ES File Explorer: needs root for mounting the system partitions for read/write access
[About XDA developers] KidCarter93:
My only addition to the list mentioned above, would be ROM Toolbox Pro.

It's pretty much all the essential root apps you'll need, plus a ton more features.

Gotta be the best root user app there is.

And even though it costs a few quid, it really is worth every penny.

P.S. This thread will be getting moved by a mod because it's in the wrong section :)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
I had this problem with my stock evo, I had to go into advanced wifi settings, and there was a check box labeled "best wifi performance, may consume more battery". After checking that, I never had a problem. I now have CM10 and I have the issue again, however there is no settings that seem to work. Does anyone know anything about this?

If it matters, I am streaming a line in with VLC over our local network to Vplayer. Works fine on original Evo 4g, and a stock 4g LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I would say play with cache settings. A few apps have a cache setting that's too low.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
tried setting buffer size, no go. I've tried 3 different apps to keep wifi connected, but didn't work. I just searched again and found wifi stay alive, and so far so good, but it's only been 15 minutes, too early to tell. Either way, wish there was the setting available in CM10.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
Well that didn't last long, it just cut out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Did you check to see that WiFi is set to stay on when screen is off. If you tap on WiFi it goes into settings
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
Yes, 1st thing I checked. That is when I noticed that there is not a "best wifi performance" option, which fixed the problem on the stock 4g LTE for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Odd. If I can think of anything I'll let you know. Now this is just streaming through vlc? Or streaming over your network in general?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
Thanks. Through vlc ( I listen to a morning show at work), but also happens streaming any media file over the network as well. I know it has something to do w/ the "best wifi performance" option because before I flashed this ROM, it worked, but now no "best wifi performance" option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Well it can also be network latency. Best performance minimizes latency. Try adjusting the streaming setting on vlc
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Anthonicia:
Have you tried changing channels with your router? Use the app WiFi analyzer and it will tell u the best channel to avoid interference.

It sounds stupid and amateurish, but I know a few people it worked for. Does your WiFi disconnect and connect to 3g then back over and over too? Have u installed new radios?

Ask me about my ability to annoy complete strangers!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
Not the router for sure. I did dig up a lot of talk on a hidden power settings menu. Seems like after one of the updates from htc/sprint added the "best wifi performance" may toggle some of those settings, as people were pulling up that menu and unchecking some things and fixed their wifi disconnect problems. CM10 does not have that shortcut/menu anywhere though. ugh. I'm so frustrated. I'd hate to revert my phone back to stock, but this is the only issue I have right now.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Not stupid or amateurish at all, wish I thought of it, its actually a very good suggestion
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
I can't believe I forgot to mention this only happens when the screen is off. I can leave the screen on and it doesn't cut out, but it kills the battery, and I'm accidently making things happen constantly. I should note that I've tried every setting I could find, and also tried a good handful of apps that are supposed to keep wifi alive, but it still happens. Any other suggestions?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] d1scopotato:
Well, after a handful of jellybean Roms, Codename Android, based off of Clean Android 4.1.1 Rev6 (JRO03R) is the only one that works! My signal remains strong and does not disconnect when the screen is off.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bantzt:
As a last resort

Hey man, if any of these things don't seem to help, try a custom kernel. Komodo rls. 7 works great. I have been helping him out and it is a great kernel. Many options and lots of governors. May help your wifi.

Here is what I suggest:

Check on another wifi signal (make sure it isn't your router)

Update radios

Do suggestions above

Load Komodo kernel

Reflash everything after a clean wipe

And as a last resort beg a dev to port that option over.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpoitras:
HI all,

I can't post in the Dev section yet so I will ask here. I installed this ROM last night and it all went well except for today in the car while testing bluetooth I have no audio unless I switch the source away from Bluetooth and back (say, set it to Speaker then back to BT). I did a full wipe again and re-loaded the ROM and still have the same problem. I am using the .19 radio if that makes a difference and my car has the older (2008) Ford Sync system (2.1).

Is anyone else having a similar issue?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeftyGR:
This seems to happen quite a bit. It's a semi known issue from a number of cusom ROMs. Have never seen a solid fix for it except what you just described. Some people have this problem and need to competely turn it off and back on to get it to work! If it truely is a dealbreaker for you (it shouldn't be...not that big of a glitch), best bet is to stick to a ROM closer to the original tbolt software.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpoitras:
Its not that its a dealbreaker but it kind of defeats the purpose of using handsfree in the car when I would have to pick the phone up and switch BT inputs to get it working. I had a low Bluetooth volume problem with a rom before which was fixed with, I think, a different radio but I never had this one before. I noticed someone else posted the problem in the official thread so hopefully comes out if it. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeftyGR:
So this happens every time u get a call, or only every time you connect to the car?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpoitras:
I haven't received any calls yet while connected to BT but it happened when making calls and it seems once I do the toggle to get things working then it "sticks" and works thereafter. I haven't tried reconnecting while in the car to see if the fix would stick afterwards but this morning when I got into my car I tried making a call and it worked great first time and I know I rebooted the phone multiple times last night with doing backups of the rom, etc. Maybe it somehow worked itself out or maybe it's just an intermittent thing. I didn't change anything since the install.

Hello,

While flashing this ROM, ha had an error :

E:skipping malformed recovery.fstab line /sd-ext /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

I have a Samsung i-5800 (Teos), ROM flashed by Odin.

I tried to flash with Odin, then apply update with CWM, by same result, phone doesn't start and freeze at cyanogen splash screen.

Thanks for any tip or help ;)

First boot will take about 10-15 mins to boot up, so don't worry. But if it's really a bootloop, then you'll have to re-flash the whole ROM.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thefunkyjoint:
Hi,

I'll update my Nexus from AOKP Milestone 4 to a JB rom (i'm choosing yet).

I know i'll have to wipe / data factory reset and my question is this :

I'll make a nandroid backup before the entire process, IF anyting goes wrong, when i restore the nandroind backup in clockwork, all my CONTACTS , SMS and CALL LOGS will be restored as well or i loose it because the wipe ?

Also, what application do you recommend to backup contacts / sms / call log ?

Thanks in advance :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
First question: yes. Call logs are also saved with a nandroid backup. When you restore from nandroid it is as if nothing ever happened.

Backup contacts ? As an android user you should have a Google account right ? If not synchronize your phone contacts with your Google account, like that you will never lose your contacts again, and after flashing a new ROM/doing a factory reset while you configure your phone just select the synchronize with my google account and all your contacts will be restored.

I've no idea how you can backup call logs. But to backup SMS's I can recommend "SMS Backup & restore" from the play store, a free and easy-to-use app.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
But I still can't install my friends app... tried it with an other 3rd party app, but that one doesn't work either
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polobunny:
Without an error message or the name of the app, we can't help you.

Edit: Nevermind, seen your message. Are you trying to pirate an app per chance? If you have any .odex files, in /data/app with the same name as the app, which could get created if you're trying to pirate an app, that could pose a problem with the install.

Make sure you have enough space on your "external" memory too, not just internal. Some apps will need to install additional data to the SDcard and show you that warning.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
Nope, its not a pirated app, still thanks, think I'm going to flash a new rom, as it also is getting buggier and laggier. But still I would like to thanks you!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theyangman:
So I've been a long time creeper, and have come to love the XDA for the resources that it offers. I have found many answers to all my questions android related!

I'm very wet behind the ears when it comes to android stuff. I've only rooted my tablet, and i717, nothing major.

However, I have started to become more ambitous as of late and have tried flashing new roms onto my note, and I have been hooked ever since.

So here is my story now.

A few months ago, I flashed flapjaxx rom onto my note. Didn't back things up so I lost everything, at this time I didn't care, so I rebuilt my contacts and all my other important stuff. After a while I noticed it wasn't running nearly as smooth so I found a stock rom and went back to normal. Life was good, and then I got the itch again to try something new. I saw the new flapjaxx rom, but I had since learned my lesson and backed up everything on my phone with kies desktop and then proceeded to flash the new rom. Well long story short, I screwed up my phone, and it wouldn't load past the samsung logo, I used this website to figure out a solution and now I am running smooth once again.

BUT! This is where the issue arises. Ever since upgrading my rom from a stock Rogers rom to flapjaxx, I cannot connect to kies desktop to restore all my contacts, photos etc....

any suggestions?

Thanks in advance, and I look forward to talking to many of you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
uninstall Kies, reboot pc, and reinstall Kies, use stock Samsung charging cable.

The cable actually makes a difference? I don't have a stock cable anymore. It got bent ages ago so I've been using my hp touch pad rapid charger for months now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
There are a couple of reasons that the device fails to be recognized by kies, since you have made changes too the device.

the first, and usually the most common, is the "unsecured root privleges" issue......this simply means that kies, has detected the unlocked device, and see's this as a security issue, then fails to connect the device...

The next issue is the rom itself. Often times, kies will see the modified firmware image, and refuse to connect the device due to the unrecognized data, device firmware ID etc.

The work arounds are pretty simple, as you can use Odin, to push images directly to the device, and if you have the correct USB drivers on your PC, Odin does not care what software, or firmware images you have.

And besides, almost all software is now pushed to the device by .zip file in recovery anyway. and you simply dont need kies unless you are doing a factory emergency restore, or wanting to use the kies backup method..(backup of data can be done through your recovery, without the need for a PC connection anyway) We call it a nandroid backup, and they are fast.....

I dont use kies, as I feel that it's interface is poor at best, and we can accomplish exactly the same thing using CWM/TWRP recovery, and Odin.

In cases of needing a factory restore to the device image, I prefer to send folks too samfirmware.com..

the process always works, and we dont see nearly the trouble using it...

You should continue to read up in the "note super everything thread", as it contains more info on these issues than you can imagine......

I hope this helps you out a bit......g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theyangman:
So here is the million dollar question then, since my existing backup is with Kies, how can I restore my contacts at least? I assume I can't simply use nandroid and it will restore my phone, is there a patch through from kies to nandroid?

Or is there a way to locate the backup file generated by Kies, and then somehow decompile it and restore my phone another way?

~Tony
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] theyangman:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Are your contacts not synced with google ??

All of my contacts return too me, after flashing a new build, as soon as I sync with google the first time. Of course, you have to enable sync in your settings, but after that initial sync, you will get them back, even if you dont want too...LOL

I'm not aware of how to strip contacts from kies, as i'm "sure" their formatting is different from anyone else....

the only way I'm aware of at this point, would be to push a factory image from Odin, kies, or samfirmware, and allow the stock image/device to be seen. Then restore the backup to the device, sync with google to transfer them, and ....basically start all over again...(sigh)

I know...it's a pain in the A**....thats why I dont use kies to backup anything........g

Edit: kies is geared toward a pure stock device, and they make it difficult to use the device if it's been altered in any way regarding software.....g

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

Just another thought...

If you have "ever" synced your device contacts to google, you can go to the google website, and open up the contacts for your phone number.

There may even be the option to push them to the device from google, or you could at least copy and reload them from there......g

So Galaxy Note 2 has now got 5 models to be released shortly, here is the breakdown

International : GT-N7100

Verizon : SCH-I605

TMob : SGH-T889

Sprint : SPH-L900

AT&T : SGH-I317

Thanks to Evan

AT&T : 850 cellular/1900 PCS GSM/UMTS & 700MHz (Band class 17) LTE

Verizon : 850 cellular/1900 PCS CDMA/EVDO & 700MHz (Band class 13) LTE

Sprint : 800 SMR/1900 PCS CDMA/EVDO & 1900MHz LTE

T-Mob : 1900 PCS GSM/UMTS & 1700/2100 (AWS) UMTS

Seems like they will all have Quad Core Exynos with a seperate LTE chip

My question is does that mean we will be having five different model forums, or is it possible to have only the current one for all the models, since they are pretty much the same Exynos + LTE.

One thing I wonder about, here in Sweden the LTE frequencies is 800/900/2600 MHz.

It means that when we get LTE it will be different from the international version and developer support will be non-existent or can we flash international roms if the only difference is LTE frequencies?
