[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROIDLOVERX2:
I'm having a problem with the first Verizon update. I have a rooted, unlocked GS3 running the stock ROM only slightly modified. I thought I had FWUpgrade frozen, but apparently not. I do not have the purchased version of TiB and I used multiple apps to try to freeze the system app. I thought it was a success, but obviously not. Now everytime I turn my phone on I am seeing what is shown in the first attachment. The second attachment is showing what TiB shows when I look at FWUpgrade. I don't know what to do and need some help on what plan of action to take! What are my options? I've been wanting to flash a custom ROM and considering most of those have FWUpgrade already frozen that would solve my issue... Thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
Freeze sdm 1.0 in titanium backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROIDLOVERX2:
Thanks so much for the fast reply!!! I do not have the paid version of TiB, so I just disabled it with Root Uninstaller and now it shows up as frozen in both RU and Ti. After taking it off of airplane mode, the update is no longer showing up!!! :good: Thanks again for the quick reply!!! You saved the day as far as I'm concerned!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] voodoomanx:
No worries. Glad to help when I can.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] a65lopez:
Thanks, had the same issuse.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tu3218:
Thanks for the root uninstaller tip!
[Galaxy Note II General] saurabh.2561:
I know its on personal requirements but if someone can suggest...

I am an engineering student (age 20) having galaxy s2 bought 4 months ago,, i wonder if it will be a good decision to buy note 2...i mean that is it usable...not too big to use as a phone ???

Or should i wait till next year for something like galaxy s4...??
[Galaxy Note II General] msedek:
Up to you but you wont see anything better until next year around this time when note 3 comes.. from my personal experience and from most of note 1 owners once you use the note for several days you CAN NOT use anything smaller..
[Galaxy Note II General] skifreek:
This.

Going to anything smaller just doesnt work anymore.

And even though most of my friends and family who say they'll never get one, can't seem to put down my phone when i come over. :D I think they are waiting for the day their contract is up :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note II General] KingAmir:
What about the s3?

Also I think this might belong in the q and a section instead.
[Galaxy Note II General] markysd:
i tried the note 1 liked got use to the size but was bit issues with pocket for me..i dont wear tight jeans..try it out and you can always return it like i did..new note 2 sure is a nice device i just got a GS3 when it came out here in US was the lucky few to grab one before anyone else..i dont really even talk much on the phone..mostly a data user
[Galaxy Note II General] non1oson:
I would recommend the note 2 definitely.

I started on an iphone 3g to iphone 4. I found about custom themes/roms on android then got a galaxy s2. the s2 dominated apple iphones. when I saw the note 1 come out I was like sweet, my priority is web/movies. when I got the note 1 I couldn't put it down. I would never downgrade in size, but that's because I use it primarily for facebook, the web and movies. unfortunately I hard bricked it awhile ago installing a wrong zip file :(

so I can't wait till the note 2 comes out. I will be all over it like a fly on sh!t
[Galaxy Note II General] Viper2005:
I would recommend it. I had an iPhone up until spring this year when I went to HK and bought a SGN1 and now whenever I handle my iphone I just can't get used to that small screen anymore. The large screen area of the SGN really makes a huge difference. Even though my SGN1 is only 6 months old I feel it had some shortcomings (primarily lag related) which should be rectified with the SGN2.
[Galaxy Note II General] JulyDerek:
I agree. Once you have the Galaxy Note, you can never go back to a smaller screen. I was hoping the Note 2 would be 6". *sigh*
[Galaxy Note II General] turborider:
cant wait for galaxy note 2 to come out and very disappointed with Samsung as always they delay the product by 5-6 weeks after they show it,they should put it as soon as possible to get the customers and look crapple they going to rls next week and they only show it on the 12 damn crap iphone and hate that piece of crap widget phone,then next one will be Samsung Galaxy S5 by the time [18 months contract finish]
[Galaxy Note II General] saurabh.2561:
Most probably s4 is coming on Feb 2013...so i will go for that.

http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/tech/2012/09/133_120024.html

It will have 5“ display and will definately be beaster than note 2.
[Galaxy Note II General] djfuego:
Do you need it?

You have to ask yourself one question. What is it going to do that your current phone doesn't do already?

4 months into a contract; really?
[Galaxy Note II General] saurabh.2561:
I am not in any contract...i use an international version ..
[Galaxy Note II General] lalo_il_pugile:

I've had 3 galaxy note ( 1st model) and i can say that galaxy ote is one of the greatest phones every. don't care about the screen. it's wonderful even if is very big.but you will be proud to have it in your pants.
[Galaxy Note II General] Srikar_NBK:
I see more and more people using their phone not for calling/speaking to others, but for music, Web Browsing, Social media and watching media content. Adding to all this, even if you call others very frequently, people use bluetooth headsets or hands-free. So, I tend to feel that the 'Galaxy Note being too big' argument doesn't hold water anymore. As long as you can figure out a way to fit into your pocket, or keep it safe when you move around, it is definitely a sure to have phone. :o
[Galaxy Note II General] babyken:
I'm changing from S2(i9100) - S2(i9100G) - Galaxy Note(N7000)... then now i'm waiting for Note 2...

can't really go back to smaller screen, hurts my eyeballs :D

and also hooked on Super Amoled.... LCD are just not that level... :fingers-crossed:

No.. How can i.?

Explain it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NIMBAH:
When you flash a ROM it will restart after a few seconds of installing. This is because it flashes the kernel first I'm guessing. All you have to do is take out your battery, reinsert and go into recovery. Flash the ROM again and this time it will not restart and will install fully.

Took me 5 minutes to figure when I flashed my first ROM, 5 frustrated minutes lol :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Latrop:
Nimbah is exactly right it has to flash and launch a new kernel as the partition layout is changed

Does anyone know if the Beats By Dr. Dre TOURS w/ Controltalk work with our device?

I know for sure that the volume up and down buttons won't work but I'm just interested in hoping that the microphone and button ability will. All I really need the controltalk for is for answering/ending calls then using the button to pause/play/forward/back my music with Poweramp.

Oh and not sure if this matters, but I'm running AOKP July 15th ROM ICS 4.0.4.

Any input would be appreciated.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Hallo, I found that every custom boot image for Xperia GO is not property packed, have wrong kernel base and wrong initrd base address and cause big battery drain so I generated proper boot image with right base adress and with included all 3 files inside (kernel, ramdisk and elf.3) like stock, unsecured and in SIN format + my version of the CWM recovery! Here is tutorial how to propertly root your Xperia Go!

Before you going to install this "pack" you need to unlock your bootloader!

After unlocking bootloader procedure for installing boot image and root tools is:

install boot image:

fastboot flash boot kernel.sin

install root tools:

adb remount

adb push su /system/xbin/

adb push busybox /system/xbin/

adb install Superuser.apk

adb shell

cd /system/xbin

chmod 6755 su

chmod 6755 busybox

/system/xbin/busybox --install -s /system/xbin/

Than you are done! Just last step you need to do:

establish internet connection on your phone

go to aplications

run superuser

under superuser menu click to "tap to ckeck for updates" (see picture http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/2097/screenshot201209151603.png) and update your super user... make sure to give and "remember" permision for superuser app!

Done! Enjoy! ;)

Kernel source:

I have no source! I used prebuilt stock kernel from firmware 6.0.B.3.184CE

Tip and tricks for my CWM version:

Did you know about our CWM that you can change menu and text colors, backgrounds? Yes you can do it by puting menu.txt into ramdisk /res/images folder by writing to menu.txt for example:

122,122,122,255,255,255

First 3 numbers is rgb color for menu and seccond 3 numbers is rgb color for text !!!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lebenita:
No battery improvement

Hello munjeni,

I have installed this kernel and monitored its battery consumption, but I'm afraid I cannot confirm your positive findings. Battery drain* is exactly as with other kernels, for instance Krachlatte's one here (which also includes additional perks like more governors and iptables support):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1839865

So the battery drain you've experienced with other kernels might be unrelated to any wrongly defined memory offsets.

* This means that after disabling a lot of Sony and Google bloatware, battery life is satisfactory (around 3 to 4 days with very light use). The only flaky component seems to be WiFi - when it is on, battery consumption is inconsistent (which is OK so far and known to happen). Trouble is that even after disabling WiFi, its processes sometimes (not always) seem to remain active, generating lots of kernel wakelocks and eating into battery life. This behaviour unfortunately persists with this kernel too.

Nonetheless it's a good thing if you've managed to correct an error that has been made by devs who provided previous kernels. Thanks for your work!

Lebenita
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kala123:
The files in the first post have been corrected whit battery drain issue?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Yes, its generated propertly!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krachlatte:
Hi,

could you please tell me were exactly you see the battery drain with ALL Custom Kernels you are revering too?

You are the first to complain about battery drains with my kernel.....

further it would mean that the championswimmer Android Kernel Kitchen would be wrong, this would have a impact on Xperia U/P/Go when generating the elf files whit the mkelf script from Sony, this would imply that all Xperia phones have that battery drain you are talking about....

python mkelf.py -o kernel.elf 0@0x00200000 1@0x01200000,ramdisk

taken from here:

https://github.com/championswimmer/kernel-tools/blob/master/edit-kernel/elf/mk/P-gb

could you comment....?

and if there is really a battery drain issue why don't you get in touch with the makers of the Custom kernel, so that i would be able to fix it for all who are using this Custom Kernel?

many thanks, waiting for you feedback..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
I not complain sorry, thats my experience using your boot image... trust me!

python mkelf.py -o kernel.elf 0@0x00200000 1@0x01200000,ramdisk

is wrong! Right command is:

python mkelf.py -o kernel.elf zImage@0x00008000 initrd.gz@0x01000000,ramdisk

Read here tutorial how to pack propertly your boot image -> http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31954337&postcount=9 if you not trusting me than realy sorry! Kernel base is not 0x00200000, kernel base is 0x8000... disasemble stock bootimage and you will see! And yes, his kernel kitchen is wrong! You can let him?

You can allso unpack stock kernel and repack it back using right command + my tutorial provided here and you will see in hex comparation thats the same, so its 100% right!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
Well, charge your phone tonight to 90% for example, type this in your phone number #*#*4636*#*# ,go to battery menu, remebmer battery voltage in mV, than do not touch your phone untill morning, than use your phone and see battery voltage in mV? If battery voltage is the same like yesterday than all is ok, if not than there is battery drain! Than install boot image provided in my post and do the same tests and let me know diference! ;) Again, I am not here to complain! I am here to help! I'm not here for competing with anyone, I am here to share my things with you! If this CWM recovery is usefull to all you than you guys can press thanks, if not than nothing. If you have some questions about recovery, if you found some tests, if you found some bugs... than please let me know! This thread is not for complaining, this thread is for all your experiences about my CWM recovery! Kernel is stock Sony kernel so kernel is not important at this moment, I need only your experience about CWM ! New features in recovery coming soon so I waiting more tests from you and your experience!

What tool you need in next recovery? Give me idea! :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] olkawe:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] munjeni:
ok, maybe you have no battery drain but I can confirm I had battery drain and Kala123 had allso... I don't know why you have no battery drain or why Kala123 and me had... but please, this is not theme, please lets back to the recovery... thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Androboss:
I dont need to check any settings to confirm battery drain, i can see it in %, but tbh i think it is a problem with how the governor smartass v2 runs on the phone and not stock settings and governor.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lebenita:
I would love to give your CWM a go, but I'm afraid I need the features that Krachlatte's kernel provides over yours, particularly iptables support and (not a must, but nice to have) additional governors (smartass2).

So my first request would be to provide a possibility of installing your recovery without your kernel (if that's possible at all).

Thanks a bunch!
