Hi folks,

I am at this time pretty much an amateur android geek, I have successfully rooted, s-off and super cid my amaze.

I have been mostly successful debloting my amaze although I still have not found a few apk's of some tmobile junk that I want to get rid of.

I am becoming more and more fascinated with android and I would like to find more information on lower level operation of the android operating system, like a detailed explanation of the boot process, file system layout, drivers etc. I suppose most of my questions are all "Why" questions.

If anyone and point me in the right direction to explore android more fully I would appreciate it.

the information I have found on the web is mostly about programing in the vm and not really what I am looking for.

ty everyone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Spastic909:
One thing to learn is to post questions in the correct place. This is general, there is a section called q&a which stands for questions and answers.

Just a heads up
[HTC Amaze 4G] KnowledgeBroker:
Psst. Look at my signature. A lot of your questions are answered in the "Advanced android" section. As far as the boot process goes, you'd have to learn more about linux, not android..

Oh, and what the other guy said.. post in q&a for questions you want answers to, it really does help keep the forums organized, and makes the mod have to work less.

Will the unlocked L920 work on ATT LTE network?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hadi8125:
It should since At&t is the main GSM carrier in the US. However, LTE bands are different in Europe so there could be some discrepancy. But it would work on At&t. I believe even the international 900 works exactly th same, just not SIM carrier locked.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4runneradam:
I have the n7 installed in the dash of my truck and I want to do 2 things.

First, use my n7 to answer and place calls via my EVO 3d. Use the n7 Mic and speakers. I tried tablet talk but it routes the audio through my EVO. Tried talkatone and google voice but nobody could hear me. And incoming calls don't come through.

Second, is there any way to have an external wired or wireless Mic , while still routing audio through the 3.5mm headphone jack?

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SeparateElite:
Tonight my data speed became SO slow. Terrible ping, and very low download and upload speeds. We all know Sprint isn't fast as it is, and this is just horrible. What really is weird about this, is my brothers S3 data speeds haven't changed, and are still normal. Can Sprint slow your data speeds if you download a lot? I didn't think they did, but then again... And, if not maybe someone has an idea for why it's being like this? Could it be that I rooted my phone, and am using a wireless tethering app? I know Sprint has been trying hard to crack down on tethering that's not being paid for.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SeparateElite:
I did a prl and profile update, but that didn't really do anything.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
I searched around for the differences between the I747 and I747M, and apparently it is the location... That brings up my question.

I got an I747M, but live in the US and am with AT&T. Should I be worried about anything?

Thanks!

EDIT: I have found that it is because I flashed KyanROM, which changed it from I747 to I747M. Is there any way to revert this change? I did try to change it in the build.prop, like a bunch of places said, but when I did, the phone would get to the Samsung screen the crash. I did a nandroid restore and everything was fine, except it is still showing I747M.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ends:
Nope.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Did you install Kyan ROM?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
Hey man, thanks for the info.

Is it common that this happens? Should I be downloading AT&T stuff, or I747M stuff, or are they the same always?

Thanks again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
Actually yes, why do you ask?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ends:
you should be ok. No worries
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
So what modem would I flash? The I747 or the I747M?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
It is no big deal I am with rogers and I flash i747 ROM all the times on my i747m

If a flash aokp or cm10 it shows i747 but if I flash stock it shows i747m. It doesn't change your modem or anything.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Flash only modems that are for your carrier.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
The reason I asked that is because Kyan ROM is based on the 747m firmware. It still works with the 747, but the build.prop shows it as a 747m.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] daddymatt:
Exactly. Look at the title in the Kyan forum... notice the M after the 747?.. so.. youve entered the world of ROMs?.. time to study!! Read read and read again my friend or youll get flamed like crazy around these parts. The answer to this question and probably all your questions are available in Kyans forum.. theres a thing called the OP that has all the info you need about the ROM you flash.. make sure you read it in its entirety atleast twice before flashing , sop. The OP is the very first post.. also, how to get around your issue and get the AT&T bloat back is also found in that forum.. theres a search function that will reveal all your questions and dreams.. its like magic except its just the search function. :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
Thanks guys, I feel a little bit better about it now.

I am only worried about the model number, because I can't download any of the AT&T stuff from the market because it is restricted from I747M's (as they are Canadian, and AT&T has no use on those devices). Is there any way to change it back to I747 and get rid of the M? @daddymatt, I have spent a good 30 minutes searching, and can't find any way to revert it.

I did try to change it in the build.prop, like a bunch of places said, but when I did, the phone would get to the Samsung screen the crash. I did a nandroid restore and everything was fine, except it is still showing I747M.

Also, I will give thanks when I can. I am at my current daily limit now, so no worries, I haven't missed you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
You will need to use a i747 based ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] d3athsd00r:
Or just edit the build.prop to say a 747

You've just made a mistake editing the build.prop. keep trying. Just keep a good nandroid handy. I don't know the exact edits because i haven't the need to do it, but i know your on the right track.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
I've tried so many things, I just don't know anymore. I have tried just about everything I have found online too. I am even doing a cache clear before and after changing it.

If you have a link or ideas of what to change, please let me know. I am about to give up because I honestly have no idea where to go from here.

I will give ya thanks when I can too, I hit my daily max :/
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ends:
Try changing device id to I9300 instead of I747. It's the international version and will serve the same purpose. Don't know for sure if this'll work, but i think I've seen it somewhere else.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] liltitiz:
I don't think it will work. Att uses i747m not the international version
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
How many lines in the build.prop did you change? I had to change 4 in order to get Bell mobile tv working while running an AT&T rom. Try this, change

- ro.product.name=d2att

- ro.product.device=d2att

- ro.product.model=SGH-I747

- ro.build.product=d2att

This should make your phone think it's an AT&T phone again, remember keep a nandroid handy just in case...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
Didn't work. :( Thanks for the idea though.

I agree.

Thanks for the idea. I tried with these and even a few more combinations with no luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ends:
Are you clearing market data after you make your changes?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoupness:
This is from rom toolbox. Works perfectly for me.

ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 ro.product.name=d2uc ro.product.device=d2att
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
When I make any changes, I can't even get the phone to power up. I haven't found a way to clear it other than once you actually get into your phone. I do do the cache clear in CWM though.

I am now trying a Google Play clear before I shut down though. I will keep you posted.

Trying now. Thanks.

EDIT: No luck :/. If you don't mind, could you post your whole file? Or at least hte part that matters. If there if is some secure data, feel free to black it out, I won't be offended :p. This will be especially useful if you have kyanrom too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
So here is what I did. I took kyanrom and Triune as these seemed reasonably close for two different carriers. I downloaded both and unzipped and compared build.props and came up with the following differences that may make a difference. If you've already tried changing these then I apologize for wasting more of your time, just hope it helps a little.

ro.product.model=SAMSUNG-SGH-I747

ro.product.name=d2uc

ro.product.device=d2att

ro.build.PDA=I747UCALH1

ro.build.hidden_ver=I747UCALH1

ro.product.locale.region=US

ro.build.product=d2att

ro.build.description=d2uc-user 4.0.4 IMM76D I747UCALH1 release-keys

ro.build.fingerprint=samsung/d2uc/d2att:4.0.4/IMM76D/I747UCALH1:user/release-keys

ro.build.characteristics=att

These are the differences in the first part of the build prop taken from Triune. I do believe that it's in the build.prop somewhere. Like I said I have changed mine from I-747 to I-747M in about phone just by changing the 4 lines I posted before running aokp jellybean, although this one is being stubborn it's there somewhere.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] shoupness:
I'm not sure how I can attach that file. I don't have a computer. Only my phone and n7. If you want to pm me an email I'll attach it and send it to you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
Checking now, thanks!

Edit: No luck. Tried a ton of combinations of that. I'll keep trying more though. Thanks!

Yeah PM sent. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
WEWT. We did it!

Thanks guys for all the help. shoupness was nice enough to sent a copy of his file, which I compared to mine. I changed everything to be similar or same, and still didn't start. d3athsd00r had sent me a link to a Google Wallet thread, where they said not to use ES File Explorer. Well that was my problem. I assumed it would work just as good, especially because the first site I saw while searching told me to use that app. So thanks to everyone here, my phone now shows the correct info and everything!

So yeah thanks guys, sorry for being such a noob, I am guessing you guys didn't even post that as a solution because it was so obvious. Thanks for the hard work. I will be thanking each helpful post as I get more thanks on a daily basis.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Glad you got it all worked out. Who'da thought the file explorer lol. Figured they all worked pretty much the same but root explorer was one of the first apps I bought and haven't used any other so I goes I wouldn't know.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigal1542:
Yep, now we all know haha. I feel like a complete noob about it too. The sad part is that I have tried pretty much everything recommended here and they all work (if I use Root Explorer).

I'm on AT&T and looking at getting the HTC One X, SG3, or waiting on the note 2. Any advice as to which phone I should I get?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] altanimi:
Well, if you had to buy now, I would say you get the Galaxy SIII. You might hate Touchwiz, but if Sense is your thing, there's a port of Sense 4 coming from the Sense4all guys. Performance is good, and you should expect a Jelly Bean rollout soon.

The One X is a good device, but if you plan on rooting it, the 2.20 update (which is on all shipped S4 One X/XL devices) essentially puts you out of luck. The international version is fine, though, and you can also get an official bootloader unlock on it.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
i say Siii or wait until the new Samsung note comes out
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] ZeroRilix:
I say hold off a little longer til you can compare the s3, and note 2 to the One X+. Remember, a variant of the X+ just passed through the FCC, bound for AT&T, just 2 weeks ago. We should hopefully get a definite release date at their events scheduled for tomorrow. My opinion, wait for the Note 2 and X+ to release and compare those 2.

One X+ looks great, just the thing I've been looking to upgrade to. I really hope its easier to root and unlock bootloader than the current One X.

It does seem like the device to get, but the glass back and lack of lte is a bit of a downer. A reviewer for some company dropped it off a desk and wound up with a major crack on the back.
