Hi,

First of all, JROMFlasher wipes differently than Recovery, it doesnt only remove files like from recovery, it really format the partition. It gives better results and yes JROMFlasher does make life easier for sending the ROM to the device.

If you have an issue, one thing is sure, drivers are messed up on your computer.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] htcfan85:
Well, we'll just have to agree to disagree. Other than the JROMflasher, I really like your SmoothROM. That was the reason I was trying the JROMflasher in the first place. I was using some other ROM and it had this issue where if I disconnected it for a while, it had trouble charging. So I had to constantly reboot my N7 or turn it off so that I could charge it.

Just wondering, since I have you here, does your SmoothROM work with the battery icon mod that shows a circle instead of the regular battery icon?
[Nexus 7 Original Development] rydog66:
You can select from several battery icons one of them being the circle icon....as well as an option to use a battery bar with several customizations available.

I use this tool when changing roms, especially when the rom base is different. Of course, like almost everything android, you have several options & will find what works for you and what doesn't and eventually find a favorite. This is an excellent tool for people that don't know how to PROPERLY wipe their device. I've been using SmoothRom as my primary rom for several versions now and LOVE it. It's fast, stable, maintained & there are very, very few bugs. That being said, the bulk of reported "bugs" are a result from a dirty install ie. improper wiping prior to installation. This tool was created to help alleviate potential headaches. For both the user as well as the Dev.;)

Cheers
[Nexus 7 Original Development] htcfan85:
Ah, I see. It makes sense then why he'd want to create something like this. I'm just glad I was able to install SmoothRom. It was unbelievably annoying when I had to reset or turn off the device to charge it after disconnecting the charger for a bit. This ROM really seems a lot faster than the other one I was using too. All in all, even though my experience with the JROMFlasher wasn't great, it was good in that I was able to switch to SmoothRom haha.
[Nexus 7 Original Development] TheAtheistReverend:
For some reason, JRomFlasher 1 and 2 are failing to wipe device. All the popups say the partition doesn't exist FAILED. All other functions seem to work (reboot to fastboot, push rom)

Any idea why this might happen? Coming from stock rooted 4.3 rom.

beware i downloaded the Jromflasher & it contained numerous trojans & other types of Malware.....not sure if the OP did it, or if somone else replaced the files.

this happened yesterday

---------- Post added at 12:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:40 PM ----------

ok not sure how it happened but i had a jromflasher2.exe & the site link was.

http://esyncsoft.info/download/v377...1JrUjr06l2EU6uTXVnyG2IFwO5yMytlRVZN506OdbOX1M

once again, not sure what happened, but i clicked the link listed in the first post for version 2..

i just redownloaded in my isolated lab & got the proper zip file.....not sure whats going on

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:46 PM ----------

ok just checked again, & it appears that if you do NOT uncheck the box to use the download manager that is what gives you the .exe & it contains the virus/trojans.

there are a **** ton...beware

read the op post properly

You should uncheck the small box before downloading otherwise it would download an .exe file which would install all crapware.. so watch out.. it works fine.

I flashed xwlpg ROM. Previosuly was on xwlpx rom and did a backup of the SMS by using moborobo.

Now after flashing the rom when i try restore the SMS, its truncating the + symbol, so no names are displayed :

for ex if my contact ABC has +911234512345, in the SMS its showiing up as 911234512345. as it is a different number the name is not displayed.

have tried to export it to excel then added the + symbol and then imported back to the phone but still the same.

in moborobo have tried to export it as xml tried not working.

Tried importing the xml file using sms backup app but even though the xml file is there it does not show up in restore.

how can i import all my SMS's with + symbol prefix?

Thank you.

Wasnt very sure about where to put this:

However, I was installing an app and my device froze and rebooted.

So Now I'm in recovery mode. The power button isnt working at all

and adb is not either. Not very sure about what to do.

Edit: Solved it with reinstalling adb drivers HOWEVER i would like to know how to prevent it/why the power button doesnt work.

I recently bought a brand dual core phone, with 4.3" ips screen, 1gb RAM ! 540x960 resolution and so on for 191 USD. And running so smooth.

It's a ZTE V970...not bad at all.
[General Topics] itsalexaye90:
Yeah the Droid Razr M is a phone I'd buy! If it wasn't on Verizon...
[General Topics] katamari201:
Wasn't really talking about benchmarks. Just general UI smoothness. The Burst felt a lot smoother, even within apps.

I'm basing these on eBay prices. Why would you want to lock yourself to a contract when you can save so much on monthly fees with a no-contract plan? I don't really pay attention to those Amazon Wireless or Best Buy or special sales because they all have a catch, and you usually have to be a new customer for the best deals.

The One X is still a good $350 for a new one on eBay.

I would not consider the Razr M a budget phone. It doesn't fall under $200. In fact, it's like over $450 on eBay. You could buy it on contract for $100, but the same goes for a lot of other flagship phones. The contract price usually doesn't correlate directly with the second-hand market price, so even if the Razr M dropped to free on contract, it would still be $400+. It only goes down over time. It's strange because if a phone is perceived as a budget phone like the Flex or the Escape, even if it has a $400+ MSRP, it will be a paltry $200 or less from the get go on eBay. It's all perception, even though the MSRP is probably right and the difference between the budget and flagship phone is really only $100-150 to buy retail as well as wholesale, people think they gotta price it way low since its budget.

It's kind of amazing how something like the Atrix HD, which is even faster/bigger/better than the original Razr on Verizon, is priced lower at around $300 new. The old Razr still commands $350+ for a new one. The Razr M still has qHD and the same internals as the Atrix HD but is a good $150 more. Yeah these are all eBay prices. Since the Atrix HD was launched as a budget $99 phone, even though the MSRP is probably only $100 difference at most from both old and new flagship phones, people will sell it much lower. Ditto for other budget phones that have an even bigger price disparity and sell for under $200.

It sucks if you have a budget phone and want to sell it used and get the most out of what the claimed MSRP is, but find out it sells for less than half that new and even less used. The on-contract price you paid is not a good measure of the phone's wholesale value the carrier paid since whether free or up to $200, the expensive contract plans make up for the difference and then some. That's how they can afford to drop everything to a penny on sale days, although they would of course love you to get the crappiest cheapest smartphone anyway. If you plan on buying these budget phones of course from eBay, and their perceived value drops them like a stone, it's a steal.

This minor difference between budget and high-end is gonna get much worse with Windows 8. They are all literally 1.5Ghz S4 Krait with 1GB RAM. Will a slightly better camera and a slightly bigger size/resolution screen really justify the over 2x price premium for a flagship?

[General Topics] lorddonk:
It's true. I had a samsung intercept on Virgin Mobile, and besides the fact that I NEVER got any service from Sprint (in my area), it was extremely slow but could do all the basics. Just before I left for Verizon and a real cell phone service, they launched the Motorola Triumph which seemed like an awesome phone.

I think it was just $35 a month with them so if you can actually get service in your area, I bet that would be an insane deal. A full fledged Android phone even if it is on 3G for only $35 seems awesome.

Still, once you've tried a real service and seen what a real phone can do I don't think I could ever go back, but its nice to know that there are good alternatives for others that will do just about the same as a full fledged device will do albeit with a few risks.

I just noticed this myself when I have had a cell phone for what seems like forever now, and finally talked my mother into getting one. The cheapest we got was a Tracfone (which apparently they now have an android phone too) but I was able to get her a nice phone with a camera, big buttons, flip phone (because I figured that would be easiest to use for someone who has only used landline telephones before), theres T9 texting which she hasn't mastered yet, but she can easily answer calls, check voicemails, have a calendar with reminders for appointments, and evebn a few games all for $30 every 3 months or so. Tech is going so far so fast, its amazing to see what will be around in 10 years from now. We'll be on the Droid 10 but I wonder what amazing features even the Droid 7 or 8 wll introduce!

Though a low-end device, it was nice once custom ROMs (including CM7) became available. It really surprised me that it ran so smoothly.

Phones are starting to get to the point that they're 'fast enough' for the vast majority of users anyways.

And my wife just got a Sony Xperia Go for $250 brand new. It came out earlier this year and it doesn't get much press either. The specs aren't great by any means, but the upside is it is waterproof (1m, 30min) which is perfect for her job. Best value for a waterproof phone there is.
