[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Marqus65:
Hey Buddy, thx for your hint! unfortunately it doesn't work in my case. a backupp in JB isn't possible. There is also no possibility to autoinstall the backed up apps. I have to confirm every installation.

I know that it can be difficult to restore the TW-settings from ICS to JB, but I thought that it would work anyhow in some way, even if its not 100% as ist was on ICS.

Maybe someone got another idea?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] JJEgan:
My method.

Nandroid backup ..

Flash your new rom .

Recovery advanced restore restore data only.

It works but you may have conflicts on older apps with new firmware but i have rarely had that happen .

I tried to search but its hard to come up with anything specific to my question.

I have had the prime for about a week and a half. Just upgraded to JB but noticed this in both JB and ICS.

When I look at the built in task manager widget I see random apps loaded. For instance Titanium backup will show up when I never launched it. Then later Google search partner (or something like that) and the music app, google play etc.. etc...

This all happens if its been on and I did the "One touch clean" showing zero apps or after a fresh reboot. I assume this is the bloatware everyone is not happy about? Is there a way to get rid of these random launches? Is it auto updates or what?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] flumpster:
Apps can launch themselves if they have the permissions depending on a trigger (like system startup, widgets updating etc.) This is so they can autoupdate etc. (Like fetching the news at a certain time and updating your email)

I use an app called autostarts https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5lbHNkb2VyZmVyLmFuZHJvaWQuYXV0b3N0YXJ0cyJd to disable whatever I don't want launching on its own.

I'm not sure if there is an equivalent free version.

Is anybody having duplicate calender events with LH1 or LH9? I have 2 exchange accounts (one through my work, one personal through Microsoft Exchange online). The work account shows every calender event twice whereas the personal one works just fine. Once I delete the account and re-enter details to sync, there is only one copy for a while but eventually I get the duplicates. Both LH1 and LH9 firmware have the same problem...

Any suggestions?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] k3y0n4:
I've had similar problems for some time. It happens for me with my work MS Exchange server and my hotmail account. I also will occasionally have duplicate contacts which I sync through my hotmail account.

I've found that if you clear your data in your 'calendar storage' app, it will resolve the calendar duplicates. Though it's only a temporary fix because they inevitably return.

I wish there was a better more complete solution because its quite frustrating.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] chakdere:
Is thus happening on latest ota. There are some exchange fixes. In last release I had same problem I removed hotmail and only using one exchange account.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Earthdog:
Ok, here is a fix for this. The best way it to delete the account. Follow these steps.

1. Disable all accounts from Syncing, Delete the Exchange account

2. Go into Applications and delete the cache, data and Force Close for Contact, Contact Data, Calendar, Calendar Data.

3. Power off the phone

4. Power on and add the account back and enable all accounts for syncing.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] onurd:
I did what you recommended but this is very cumbersome. And the duplicate records eventually do come back. We just need to permanent fix rather then temporary fixes.

Does anybody know whether the aosp Google mail/calendar program has the same problem (eg on cm 10)?

Hey everybody -

Seems folks are wanting some sort of cwm recovery flashable twist on the i577 stock ICS rom that was first posted

here

, but is also discussed

here

and can be attained in an easy one-click odin fashion from

here

thanks to thomas.raines. Well, I think I managed to put one together. I don't know if I will tinker on this much, but you never know - I can't stop myself most of the time.

I AM IN NO WAY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS (GOOD OR BAD) AS A RESULT OF FLASHING OR ATTEMPTING TO FLASH WHAT IS POSTED HERE!

The process to get here was rather simple (though the updater-script editing was rather annoying). After flashing via thomas.raines's handy dandy odin 1-click tool, I got a system dump. Originally I was just going to open up the system.img.ext4 and get what I needed from there, but I did it this way to figure out some permissions and symlink issues I was having with the updater-script. I then went through and deodexed, debloated, added in busybox, added in SuperSU, and made one small smali hack to Contacts.apk to stop a rather annoying insistence on checking AT&T subscriber crap every time you went into contacts. That's it - so this is not really all that "developed" or anything. All that is contained within the cwm zip is the same stuff that is contained in the one-click - it's just /system and boot.img (kernel) - nothing more (i.e. this does NOT change your modems). That all being said, let me know if things work, or if any oddities come up. Also feel free to comment on how this might improve or if I've gone about anything in a not-so-smart way.

Usual rules apply - make sure to wipe data/factory reset to avoid issues. Flash in CWM recovery.

CWM Installation instructions

:

- Backup your current setup/data

- Download file and place on sdcard

- Boot into CWM recovery

- Recommended to wipe data/factory reset in CWM recovery

- Select and install the .zip you put on your sdcard

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
THANKS GO TO -

j3r3goss - initial letting folks know of i577 possibility and providing a link to a stock tar

2vivid and afoster1003 - bravely flashing said stock tar

thomas.raines - making things one-click easy, both to flash the rom and to return to gingerbread; helping with troubleshooting

2vivid and chjema - testing my attempts

erikmm - because I can :p

all of the folks in #teamfah-q

all of the folks in teamsbrissenmod, as I would know very little and be able to do even less if it weren't for them

-----------------------------

---

CHANGELOG

---

Final update - 10/2/12

- Somewhat fixed camera.apk

***** Viewer still appears upside down for rear camera, but all images/videos taken are correct orientation

- Changed stock boot animation

- Updated some apks

Initial Posting - 10/1/12

- Deodexed

- Took out lots of what I call bloat

***** If I took out something you wanted, use the links in the OP to get it back

***** If I left something you didn't want - let me know and I'll think about removing :)

- Added in SuperSU v0.96 by Chainfire (from

here

)

- Added busybox 1.19.4 (CM9)

- Edited Contacts.apk to avoid AT&T Subscriber checking when entering Contacts

- Added .bak to PowerOn.ogg in /system/etc/ to eliminate boot sound

-----------------------------

NOTES

Known issues:

1) Camera is upside-down

This only affects the rear-facing camera. The recent "fix" does not change the preview/viewer (the "live action" view of what the camera sees), but now all pictures or videos you take will be right-side up - so it's better than nothing I suppose :)

2) Softkeys/capacitive buttons no longer work

This seems to happen from time to time (though not very often by any means), in a way/manner that is as of yet predictable. That being said - all three times I have encountered this issue the below process has fixed it (thanks go to

j3r3goss

for providing the info needed for the solution):

- Open dialer/phone

- Type in the following in the dialer

*#*#2663#*#*

- Once the last * is entered, a new screen will show that has some information and (more importantly) two buttons. Press the BOTTOM buttom (the one that says "Touch key FW update"). Wait for this to complete (NOTE: This can take a LONG time, and you may have to reboot on your own if it hasn't said its completed its process after 10 or so minutes (my experience - no reasoning or logic behind it really, so be cautious)), then reboot the phone.

3) No WiFi Calling ability

Yep. It's an AT&T stock rom, and as they don't have the wifi calling capability, so too does this lack such fun functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Reserved for something... not really sure what though. Figured I should grab it in case this little thing grows in the future - better safe than sorry I suppose.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
confirmed flash good, no softkey issues :D

great job!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Good job man! Going to flash this tonight and make a 1 click for you with some Lightning Zap! goodies and modems (if it all works right...lol)...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] SiL3nTKiLL:
saving this for later :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dispozable:
Running great so far, definitely a lot snappier on first boot. No errors so far, glad the contact bug was fixed :)

There sure was a lot of bloat huh? I thought Tmo was bad lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jamkul:
Well I guess you beat me to it, way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
I heard the radios were a little weak. Did you fix that in this file or is it the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
There are no radios included, so you keep whatever you had (and the blaze ones do seem a bit better than the exhilarate ones)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
I just flashed, loving it btw, but my radios are a little weak? I factory reset, flashed the rom, factory reset again because it said to do so before reboot (idk I was a little paranoid lol) and then flashed system apps and boot.

Edit: i didnt realize earlier but all the bloat and such is remaining too? I'm gonna reflash in a bit and get back to you
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Push this apk to system to get weather working on lockscreen
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
WiFi calling should be able to be integrated into the ROM. It's not kernel specific, but might require some framework alterations. IMHO, it would be best to take this new ICS kernel and pair it with the OS from SGS2, that is made for T-mobile.

I haven't gotten a chance yet to look at the kernel to see if the flipped camera can be fixed there, or if just replacing it with the SGS2 camera app might do the trick.

Lots of opportunities for hacking together a great ROM from this.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
Concerning the radios guys and gals!

It seems to be an ICS thing with the radios. We had the same issue on the SGS4G. They have to be padded in order to function properly since the SGS4G never got an official ICS update and we are still running on gb modem and kernel... Maybe Sammy will un-ass the update for us and all will be good...lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
Yeah, I use to have a G2x with ICS and the developers always made it clear that the Radio issue is a problem with ICS 4.0.4 itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
how do you push it to the system? every time I try it just says it has failed
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
How are you trying to push, via root explorer (something alike) or adb?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
Well, I tried using ES file explorer and it did not work. So I went into the root settings in the application, and I have everything checked, but when I try to mount the filesystem as writable, it says "failed to mount". I tried setting it as rw in adb, and it said it was a read-only file system
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] skullreapper66:
Es never worked for me with the root functions. Always has to use root explorer or adb
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
But the problem is that everytime I try to push a file to /system in ADB it says that its a read-only file system
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Use dwitherells EmptySystemApp flasher. I think it should work. ;)

Anyway.. This is awesome. Great job!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
how do I use it?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Download it from OP,

drag the apk you wanna flash into the system/app folder.

Apply the zip to your sd card

reboot to recovery

flash zip

reboot

no wiping necessary (on my experience)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
Okay so what I did, was I downloaded the Zip file and I dont have any application on my computer that would edit Zip files, so I unzipped it, put the applications I wanted to flash in it, and Compressed it back into a Zip file. I put it on my Sd card and tried flashing it in CWM, but it said Installation aborted
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
you don't have winrar?

that's like the FIRST thing you should have! lol.

you shouldnt get any errors.

download winrar, drag files DIRECTLY into zip
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
Naaa man Im using mac -___- ill see what i can find
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Im SURE there's some compressing program for the mac.. many people develop on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:
One thing that I did notice is that every time I try to open the SuperSU app, it tells me that I need to update the binary and when I click to start the update, it says failed. could that be a problem?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Oh, BTW Q&A thread for this opened..

anyway to answer...

I don't know it'll mess with the ROM installation..

Cause i used the system flasher to ass live wallpapers.. and i succeeded .. I have NOT however opened SupreSU a[[
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
adb shell

su

mount -o remount rw /system

chmod 777 /system

then push the file to /system with adb or copy/paste with root explorer
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crazydrummer95:

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Hey, that doesn't mean I can't associate with others - there are a few TSM folks that are associated with a number of teams ;)

On an unrelated note, given the official ICS drop coming our way I doubt I'll do much more to this. I did manage to partly fix the camera - while the world seems upside down in the viewer all pictures/video taken are the correct orientation... is this worth adding in here? No worries if not, just wanted to get a feel for what folks thought.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lnxzilla:
Please and thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] badboy68:
Yez please do
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Ok - so as requested I have updated the file linked in the OP to include the semi-fixed camera. I also threw in updated versions of some of the system apks, and I changed the boot animation to the galaxy S one I used in tweaked (no more at&t at least lol).

That's all she wrote on this one. Glad the official stuff is coming soon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lnxzilla:
ICS Update!

Actually, the update is out: support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4182

..So we might be better off with new deodexed/debloated/rooted rom instead of trying to sort out the quirks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Out as in attainably out? I did a quick kies check and nothing so far - I wonder if this is just prepping for its release tomorrow.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] lnxzilla:
Yeah true, spoke too soon...should appear sometime tomorrow I suppose... Just installed your update about an hour ago and seems fine so far. Thanks for the fix, much appreciated for the time being :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
soooo.... its ready for download? anybody got it yet? when I connect to kies, I get this:

complete stock, non-root. only thing I have is CWM
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thomas.raines:
You know if you have a custom ROM/recovery flashed to the device, there is a big chance that kies will not recognize it as a known device or a device with an available update? I know we had that problem on the SGS4G, captivate and Nitro. I haven't even considered testing the Blaze yet, but I am pretty certain, that conecting to kies with the i577 ROM installed will throw things off when it reads the build.prop. But then again, I could be wrong...lol

To fix/avoid any conflicts, I would stronly urge everyone that decides to update the "official"/kies way to flash back to stock before doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Yeah I tried kies with my phone but it didn't work. Flashing back to stock would mean unrooting it right?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
yup
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Animosity:
Back on stock. Ready for this update :). But man I have to say stock is pretty fast
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] forgetaboutit:

If you want the stock contacts from that upload here it is: Contacts.apk - 3.22 MB

Just delete the old one out of /system/app and paste this one in there. Make sure permissions are rw-r--r--

Followed instructions exactly, everything worked perfectly, but I noticed an issue. Something that does not not work anymore. Seems that live wallpapers are completely eliminated from the device. There is no option for it, no menu option for it, no wallpaper option for it. Downloading from market place and me installing one from SD card - neither work. I was wondering if it is possible to just get the stock rom deodexed, with nothing else done? I was thinking it may have something to do with the bloatware removed? Not entirely sure, still learning up on Android and working on this stuff. Hope this is not a stupid question... anyways, any assistance would be appreciated. That was the only problem I noticed.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Read the OP and you will know why. and how to install it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jlott069:
So... what? The System apps download? I asked for help, and said I was still learning. A little clarification would be cool, instead of being so short about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
There are 2 zip files. One is just a simple zip that has ALL the system apps in it. The other is an empty-ish zip that can be flashed in cwm/twrp. Take the apks you want installed from the first zip and place them in the system/app folder of the second zip. Then flash the second zip. Hope that helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] henslo:
Just flashed this, seems smooth and snappy, much like blazer rom. Instead of all the transferring apk's to flash zip just used root explorer extracted ones I wanted pushed to system set perms done. Thanks :thumbup:
