Dunno what a meme is, but look at the photo wall live wallpaper. I think that's in TW Roms. I'm on CM10 so I can't say for sure right now.

I dropped my E4GT in a puddle :crying: and, long story short, am getting a replacement in the mail tomorrow or the day after. Is my refurbished E4GT likely to have the ICS update installed? Has anyone recently received a replacement phone? I am hoping that it is not, because of awful battery life.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

I would get a stock image from sammobile and flash the phone back to stock and start again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
Don't panic,follow the steps:

1-Root e recovery with cf-root

2-download rom ( zip.packages) If you see any error messages or the procedure stops, then the packet of cooked rom may be corrupted.

Re-download and re-install from the beginning..

3-If the first boot takes more than 20-30 minutes, manually restart the phone by removing the battery or by pressing and holding for 10 seconds the power button.

If the problem persists, perform a hard reset .

4-If the phone restarts all the time, back in recovery mode and re-install, also performing the hard reset.

5-If your phone will not boot up, go into download mode and try to install a firmware via odin, performing a hard reset.

i tried installing a stock rom then flashing over that i have installed a ics one and jb one...didn't work...the problem is not with the booting itself but with the flashing like i said every rom flashes in like 5 seconds...it tells me it;s done and everything went fine but when i reboot i can't get past the samsung logo before the boot animation, so practically the rom doesn't flash...i dont know why...odin works great....but i can't flash through CWM. I wanted to try TWRP recovery also but i can't seem to find one for the international version of SGS3...Please help:crying:

Flash via recovery requires CF Root ,

ROOT

Odin flash is much longer than 5 seconds and short flash is probably wrong file /faulty file .

I really don't think the ROM caused your recovery to not work correctly. Have you tried a different recovery, likE https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5mcmFnZ2VsLnJlY292ZXJ5ZXhlY3V0ZXIiXQ..

Use a different/older recovery..if you are using touch version use the non-touch version of vice-versa..just flash the recovery tar file in Odin..

There is some protection with some cwm that allow script only with ROM Manager

as you can see there is no error in the log, so i can't do nothing.

Now try to ADB Push a ROM to your phone.....
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vladtdr:
just push rom file to my internal sd card using adb and flash normally?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
Requirements:

Unlocked Bootloader/Rooted Device

CWM Recovery flashed from fastboot.

Basic knowledge of adb/fastboot commands

Steps:

- Download your ROM of choice (referred to as ROM.zip) and place it wherever your ADB is on computer's harddrive (referred to as c:\AndroidSDK\tools)

- Boot your phone into Recovery and select the "Mounts & Storage" screen

- Plug your phone into your computer using USB Data Transfer Cable

- Ensure in Recovery that your phone shows "Unmount /sdcard/" and "Unmount /system/" (If they do not show this automatically, just press each one once respectively as pressing just toggles Mount and Unmount)

- Open Command Prompt on your computer by doing Start -> Run -> cmd

- In Command Prompt, type "cd c:\AndroidSDK\tools" replacing AndroidSDK\tools with wherever your adb and ROM are located.

- This is probably the most important part - Still in Command Prompt, type "adb push ROM.zip /sdcard/ROM.zip" replacing ROM with the EXACT name of the ROM file and including the .zip piece on both ends. This may take a minute or two...or four, but you will see a message in Command Prompt saying something like <12345678kb to 1234567kb>. That is just telling you that the file was pushed properly. (I did not include that message in the picture below)

- Once this has completed, unplug your phone from your computer and close the Command Prompt window

- Back in Recovery, go to Recovery's main screen and Do a "Factory Reset", "Wipe Cache Partition", and "Wipe Dalvik Cache [which is in the Advanced menu of Recovery]"

- When these are all done, from Recovery's main screen, select "Install ZIP from SD Card" and then "Choose file from SD Card" and select the ROM.zip file you just pushed from your computer to the SD Card. If you do not see the file, go back to Mounts and Storage and toggle them to say "Mount /sdcard/" and "Mount /system/" and then go back and try to fine the ROM.zip file. If you still do not see it, it was not pushed correctly...go back and ensure you were letter for letter with the name and the file path.

- Once the screen in Recovery says "Install from SD Card Complete.", go back to Recovery's main screen yet again and select "Reboot system now" - If your device fails to Install the ROM.zip, I had this happen to me. You must push the CWM SuperSU ZIP file as outlined before and Install THAT .zip file in Recovery, then reboot Recovery and Install the ROM.zip from SD Card.

- Let your phone have some time to boot up...initial boot from installing a new ROM have histories of taking a couple minutes.

MAN YOU ARE THE MOST AMAZING PERSON TO WALK ON PLANET EARTH!!!! your suggestion to push the rom file with adb worked you are amazing!!!!!

same problem for my xperia mini pro also

I have rooted my phone by "Flash Tool" for Sony, I also unlocked my bootlocker too that time.

After the rooting process has been finished I have installed "ROM manager" from Play Store. Then I install "CWM v5.0.2.7" via ROM manager. But the whole problem is that now i can't istall custom ROM for my device. Because in the CWM recovey menu it is showing "Xperia Arc[v03] {ICS}".

I am able too wipe factory data, cache and delvik cache, it is also showing installation process of custom rom.After the installation process completed, my phone is not booting into Custom Rom. Its repeatedly showing sony icon, then it is automatically rebooting. I took back up for my phone also,and I can also recover from that.Also I tried "X-parts" app from play store, and installed cwm for xperia 2011 series. But the same "Xperia Arc" is showing till now.

Why do you keep closing my threads? These are valid topics of discussion that haven't been fully discussed in other threads.
[General Topics] orangekid:
:)

Don't worry Archer, I reported it too...
[General Topics] KidCarter93:
Because you're not reading the rules and creates pointless threads.

Redundant threads are redundant.

I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
[General Topics] Joe_PDA:
With all due respect, what is pointless about asking why manufacturers can't take existing components, and put them together into a phone that so many people want? Instead they slap together hobbled devices and promote them like they are time machines. I've seen lots of threads about future devices with future technology, but this is off the shelf stuff that people want.
[General Topics] Shawn:
Just give up and quit making the threads. Read through the rules, and all the other documents on XDA.

[General Topics] KidCarter93:
I was mainly referring to the iPhone thread you created. Try reading the stickied threads first. They actually contain some useless information (Mind blowing isn't it?)

I'm a product of the system I was born to destroy!
[General Topics] zelendel:
OK first as stated read the rules again. If you don't understand them then read them again.

Asking this question is like asking why Ford doesnt add a Corvette engine. What is best is all up to the person making it. Personally I wouldn't want any component from LG in my device. Some OEM don't want a removable battery. Hell even Google doesn't want SD cards really. See what I am getting at?

Now the threads have been closed and yet you make more. Then you want to complain about it. Not wise at all.

If you want to complain about hardware then hit up the OEM sites. Not a a software development forum.

This is the right forum for i9001 questions :). How did you try to install the gapps? Did you boot into recovery using reboot->recovery or three-button-combo, or did you try it via ROM manager somehow?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davedavy:
Well, in the ROM thread i downloaded 2 file's: ROM.zip and GAPPS.zip, i shat down my phone and clicked at the POWER and Volume UP key and entered the recovery mode. I wiped cache, then i wiped data and installed the ROM.zip from SD card and GAPPS.zip from SD card, well, the ROM was working fine but Gapps doesn't seem to appear. When i installed Gapps again this also didn't had any consequences.

I lost my phone so I used my insurance to get a new one. But,Then my old one shows up. Now, I have 2 Samsung Galaxy s3 phones 32Gb blue. I called Asurion and they want one of the 2 back, They said that they would refund the deductible($99) if it was returned in 30 days. My question is -- is it worth returning? If i don't then the replacement gets its ESN voided(I believe). Should i keep it and sell it? or just give it back? I think that i would make money if I sold it as a bad esn phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kevinb84:
I'm pretty sure they can charge you up to $350 if you don't return the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Serinety:
This. From personal experience I can say they will charge you retail for it. Just had that happen to me. When I sent it back they reversed the charge but ya...

Gonna have to send it back. Might have been better not to tell them :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] insight3fl:
It makes me sick and sad to read the outward fraud and deceit that people freely commit as if you and I don't pay for this. Why do you think the deductible is $99 now instead of $50 as it was a fee years ago.?....and here you are just dealing with a $400 phone. Extrapolate this to cars, homes, boats jewelry and everything else we insure. No wonder everything is so expensive.

So I gave this a shot and it worked perfectly.

1. Root your Kindle Fire HD

2. Downloaded and install the GoogleServicesFramework.apk

3. Download Vending.apk

4. Using a file explorer app on the Fire with superuser permissions AND the system file permissions set to Read-Write, move Vending.apk to /system/app.

5. Change the permissions of Vending.apk to User - Read/Write, Group - Read, Others - Read

6. Install Vending.apk

7. The Android Market should show up in your Kindle Fire HD apps. Tap on it and follow the steps.

8. Download and install the Play.apk to upgrade the the android market to the current Play market.

9. Enjoy!

On the rooted Kindle HD, does Google Maps work ?

Also, do apps installed through Google Play work or do they need some tinkering with permissions to get working ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] adiliyo:
i haven't tried maps yet, but everything else i've installed from the play store have worked with no further tinkering necessary. (a handful of games and other apps)
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] nvrmore100:
The apps work for the most part, but several tell you that you have an unsupported device (maps included). I'm messing around with editing the build.prop file, but I can't get one that works. The method I'm doing is:

1) Backup /system/build.prop

2) Edit /system/build.prop (I'm using vi via adb shell)

3) Delete data/cache from Google Play app

4) Reboot

I will say this has caused a bit of panic as my Kindle has refused to boot a few times. I was able to restore my backup file though using adb shell and the same method to remount /system as RW described in the rooting how-to (local.prop edit).

Does anyone have a working build.prop that is allowing them to install some currently blocked apps? I'm using Maps to test with, since its blocked currently.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Misfit77:
Google Maps

It's weird, I'm not rooted but I side loaded Google Maps and it loads up way fast and instantly located my position. However, if I search for anything it just hangs at the "search for...". Is everyone else getting an unsupported device error?

Something else weird I just noticed, it has me signed in with a "@youtube.com" instead of "@gmail.com" . When I try to switch accounts to the latter it crashed maps.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] nvrmore100:
The unsupported device message is in the google play store when you try to install there. I don't want to sideload, it means I have to keep doing that every time there is an update.
