Wow, that's a lot of questions for one post! I'll try to tackle some of them.

I don't think anyone knows what changes are in each new bootloader revision (given that they are closed source), but some have had issues with running Jelly Bean on bootloaders older than LA03. I guess "newer is better" holds true in this case.

Again, no one know what changes are made in each radio revision. I personally have not noticed much difference among a lot of the radios, but others have said otherwise. (And no, there are no "custom" radios. All radios are stock -- just from different versions of Android. (A list of radios can be found in the radio link in my signature.)

Yup, it backs up the cache, boot, recovery and system partitions, and everything in /data except /data/media (which is /sdcard).

I also like 5.5.0.2. I found it to be the most compatible, i.e., it has no issues flashing anything (that I have tried anyway), whereas other versions have issues with certain things.

And I personally wouldn't use MTP to transfer files -- it is flaky at best. ADB is much more stable.

There is not much to do:

1) Download ROM to /sdcard

2) Reboot into recovery

3) Nandroid

4) Wipe /data and /cache

5) Flash ROM

6) Reboot

I think so. I haven't use TB in a while, so I just checked and it looks like you are correct -- red.

Have a read of the "basics" link in my signature. ADB is covered there.

Wow that's some great answers and a big motive for me to continue "digging".:good:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
There is a article on the main xda site about running a FTP server on your phone, maybe that will transfer the blobs faster than MTP.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TR-909:
Hey mach3.2.

FTP wouldn't help because WLAN (802.11g) can't beat USB 2.0 speeds.In fact it is quite slow for such file sizes.You 're right though in that through ES File Explorer I can send the whole Clockworkmod folder (and the blobs) normally to my PC without the "invisible files" issue I encountered with Windows Explorer and MTP.

Thanks for suggestion! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
With MTP, copying using FTP may just be faster;)

And just to mention, there's 802.11N on you devices, although it's only single stream w/ 1 antenna..

Hey guys!

So i usually use the Swiftkey-Keyboard with my android phones, but when using Swiftkey, i don't have the option to change between handwriting with the Spen and typing with the keyboard.

The Stock Samsung Keyboard is not really all that nice imho, so I am looking for something else.

Does anyone know about a Keyboard app that is compatible with the handwriting feature of the Spen?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Lennyuk:
That spen handwriting app is the stock keyboard its the same app.

There is an spen sdk but not sure if that includes the handwriting recognition, or if any third party keyboard company cares enough to include it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irobotx1:
Dear Experts,

Device - Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300

Android Version - 4.0.4

Scenario

1. Encrypted the device for Corporate Exchange Access

2. After few days device prompted for an upgrade

3. Decrypted the device for performing upgrade

4. Upgrade performed successfully

5. Performed backup and kept the data in SD card

6. Performed a factory reset

7. Now unable to access contents on SD card

Tried re-encrypting the device with same password.. it worked fine, but still unable to access memory card data.

Please advise how to get out of this situation.

Regards,

Satish.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kangburra:
Isn't this how it is meant to work? A factory reset breaks the encryption in place. Restore your backup and unencrypt first.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irobotx1:
The problem is that the backup was stored on External SD card.. which is now un readable. Please advise
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OthmanIC:
Hi Experts,

I am having the exact same issue with my S III

Any possible to retrieve my precious media files on the SD?

Any help is very appreciated
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sz1a:
I believe if you encrypt the SD card you need to decrypt it as well before performing a FW update. Now your files are stored on an encrypted and unusable sd card which means you have to format it. I think you need to decrypt both device and extremfall storage before doing a fw upgrade. Sorry.

Edit: this is because the key store for the encryption key gets cleared during the fw update. That key would be needed to access your sd card content together with your pass code.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m4rio01:
Recreate the keys?

So I got the same problem, my 5y/o reset the phone and left my SD unreadable because it was encrypted. I saved the data in the SD into an .iso image hoping that someday I will recover the media recorded there.

Is there a hacker :) out there who could produce the keys again and restore the files? I could send over the image file... I have a T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S II.

Thank you!

I know this is almost virtually impossible, but is it all possible to get a keyboard case mod for this phone? I think it would be sick...not sure how it would work based on the lack of keyboards fitting the exact dimensions...but yeah any ideas? Just would be nice for school.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
I doubt you could do it, just with the size alone, but i would suggest just a blue tooth keyboard. Mine works great actually :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wierd165:
Don't know either...but what about combining a cheap case, a slide out with metal clicks and using this:

http://images.discountofficeitems.com/orig/d99/a7d/1755f22e06575d721ff5e8c5ae7a0fda49.jpg

Might experiment with it if someone wants to donate haha...might just buy the keyboard on ebay or something similar in size...will check back eventually.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
Depending on the dimensions of that keyboard, it might not be a bad idea tho. Worth a shot I guess, so if you do it, post some pics! :) Wish I could make stuff like that haha. Anyway, good luck if you do it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wierd165:
Probably will once I get some more cash, haha. Anyone got any ideas on making some "blueprints" though?

Hello everyone!

I was wondering if it would somehow be possible to give more funktions to the Spen-Button?

For example while reading an Ebook it would be awesome if you could turn to next page by pressing the Spen-Button.

I'm sure there would be lots of practical things you could do.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bleclair:
Anyone find a good case to be re-purposed for the Note 2 until official accessories are more widely available? Preferably something I can pickup at Best Buy or order off of Amazon? I'm looking for something like the official sleeve type case. I remember I used a Garmin GPS soft pouch for my Note 1 until I could find a better case.

I had my Galaxy Note 1 in a Sena leather case and I love it, but it doesn't fit well for the new dimensions of the Note 2. I need a case! :laugh:

[Asus Transformer TF700] godraistlin:
Ok. I have an Unlocked Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF700t and I had it rooted with TWRP 2.2.2.0 on it. I flashed the JB update from Asus, but I forgot to use RootKeeper for my root. Because Kernals don't match I can't go into TWRP anymore because it fails. I can't update my TWRP with 2.2.2.2 because GooManager doesn't have root permissions because I'm not rooted. I am stuck and want to have my device Rooted. The only way I have seen someone can Root there device on JB is through NVFlash, but I can't use it because the latest one was prior to .30. How do I root my tablet and install the 2.2.2.2 recovery once it is rooted?
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
You install TWRP 2.2.2.2 via fastboot or you can do it on the tablet without a PC by using terminal emulator. Then you can flash superuser and root will be back.

It's all in the dev section under the new TWRP thread.

The first thing you should do is read through what is already out in the forums before crowding an already crowded forum with duplicate questions. There is a thread in the General section titled - [How to]Root JellyBean. It really doesnt get any clearer than that. Sorry to rant but i get tired of going through these forums to find an answer and sifting through countless post that have already been answered or addressed. It seems way worse on this devices forums than others i have used. Just to be cooperative and helpful while ranting here is a link to the thread-

[HTC Amaze 4G] bsmitty:
Hey guys, I recently upgraded to the Amaze from the venerable HD2 & one of the things that I've noticed (glaringly) is how little development is going on for the Amaze, esp. compared to that old device!

I had briefly tinkered w/ a Rezound while considering switching to Page Plus but settled on a T-Mo monthly plan. Anyway, needless to say, I've been disappointed in the output of new ROMs.

My question is (& by no means am I a developer, just an end-user), it seems there are a lot of similarities between the Rezound & Amaze (besides CDMA & screen resolution). And Rezound development seems to be humming along. Is it possible to do some ROM development from a Rezound base (esp. GSM varieties) to kick start things for the Amaze?

I did some searching but only came upon this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1688761&highlight=rezound

Any thoughts?
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
The biggest problem we have in the amaze community is HTC isn't releasing any source info for WiFi and bluetooth making it hard to troubleshoot kernel related problems. The next thing is we don't have working data on AOSP the great devs we do have figured it's a messed up ril file but there time is full with school and life. Faux is doing the best he can with kernel development and sport and eclipze are rocking out roms.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bsmitty:
I see. Please excuse my noobness but can't we take the necessary & working stock files & use them in custom ROMs, say, from a Rezound? I know I've got to be oversimplifying it! :p

Gosh I wish I were a developer! I'm sure my questions wouldn't be so ignorant & tedious ha!

Thanks by the way!
[HTC Amaze 4G] PeterC18st:
Different phones have different files to make certain hardware run. So a ril file that works on a rezound probably wouldn't work because the internals are all different. Our WiFi and BT chips have no source released for them and data is a *****.
[HTC Amaze 4G] bsmitty:
I meant taking a known/working file(s) from a stock Amaze ROM & using it in a custom Rezound ROM. Anyway, I know it can't be that simple haha.

But hey, Peter, thanks for taking the time.

Yeah not that simple. Anytime.

Hello Everyone,

Some months ago I released an innovative live wallpaper that uses sensors for movement called RealDepth Forest,

And today I released a brand new live wallpaper with the same style, you are welcome to try it!

Look around the cave using sensors! Realistic 3D ice cave on your home screen.

RealDepth Ice Cave Live Wallpaper: A beautiful ice cave scene with a cool 3D depth effect.

Not just a picture - this is a dynamic wallpaper. Look around by just moving your phone or tablet.

Amazing ice cave with different icicles hanging from the top with a breath taking depth feeling. Very high resolution, vibrant colors and day and night modes will give a great look to your home screen.

★ Less than 2% battery usage on average! ★

[YOUTUBE]wTfTQarXX6Y[/YOUTUBE]

CUSTOMIZE:

★ Show and hide visual effects.

★ Use accelerometer to not just look around but also rotate the scene around its axis.

★ Change the speed, rate and smoothing of sensors and movement.

★ Add more icicles or hide them.

★ Switch between day and night modes.

★ Change the frame rate.

TIPS:

★ Showing wind effect and more icicles reduces performance.

★ Select "Set to Low Settings" for smoother performance and even less battery consumption.

★ Compass calibration could be required if the wallpaper doesn't move well.

TO USE:

Home->Press Menu->Wallpapers->Live Wallpapers->RealDepth Ice Cave

* Works with devices with a compass and/or accelerometer sensors. Otherwise only home screen transitions will be used for animation.

* For devices that support live wallpapers.

Updated to version 1.0.1 - small bug fix causing crashes.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jayvhee_12:
Good day, im a new member here but i usually visit this site when i manage to get my hands on a new phone

I own a Photon 4g Japan version which is from kddi

i manage to root my phone and install root explorer, but bootloader is still locked

i intend to remove my google account without doing a factory reset because i have installed lots of games on it, so i search the web and i came up to this instruction telling me to rename my framework-res.apk and renaming it back to be able to reset my account

i manage to rename it but when im about to rename it back to its original file extension it started to force close and reboot

to make the story short i ended up having a phone stock on motorola logo (soft brick i guess)

i want to know if there is a way to access the phones system file using my computer to rename my framework-res.apk file to its original or if there is some work around to make my phone work again

any help or guide will be greatly appreciateed

by the way the phone can still be detected by pc both on fastboot and rsd mode
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
Did you make a nandroid backup with a bootstrap recovery or anything? If you can find a system backup of the Japan system framework you can flash it via fastboot and you'll be good to go! Or just flash the US version.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jayvhee_12:
Thanks for the quick respond!

i didnt do any backup, thats my problem.. i didnt install titanium backup or flashed any custom recovery. i want to try flashing it with a certain phone sbf file via rsd lite but i want to make sure which one should i flash to avoid the worst case scenario

if only there is a way to rename my framework-res.apk back to its original i know my phone will goes back to life

i have tried adb and throws result that device is offline

can you give me a clear view on what US versionsbf file should i flash on my Japanese photon(a link will be great)

as far as i can remember, my phone is on v2.3.4

what i did

i downloaded a sbf file 1FF_sunfire_user_2.3.4_4.5.1A_1_SUN-198_7_CM_release_keys_signed_Sprint_US

try to flash it with rsd

flash fails, Phone did not re-enumerate after.....

there is a certain sec_excemption m655 or soething like that
[Motorola Photon 4G] na7q:
if you use the photon (US) sbf file you must flash one that is 2.3.5. as far as i know there isn't an SBF that is 2.3.5 for the photon yet.

i recommend flashing a stock system image of the photon or try and find someone who has the japanese photon that can send you the system image! i have the electrify so i don't have a stock image otherwise i would send it to you and help you out!

try reposting asking someone for a stock system image file! then you can use fastboot and flash it. do not flash the electrify SBF!!

if you don't have the moto-fastboot application for the computer to flash you can get it here. it's inside one of the folders. http://www.motosunfire.com/moto-fasboot/

commands should be this if you get the image file. reboot and all will be fixed!

moto-fastboot erase system

moto-fastboot flash system system.img
[Motorola Photon 4G] khaleelh:
Hey Jay. Try this method

This solution is only work if you have backup file from your previous framework-res.apk.

Preparation

framework-res.apk. backup file

Fix bootloop after modify framework-res.apk

Copy backup framework-res.apk file to your platform-tools SDK.

Connect the android device to PC/laptop

Click Shell Root

in command prompt, type

cd

adb shell

mount -o rw,remount -t ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk1p21 /system

exit

adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

Make sure before type the second line you already in platform-tools directory.

Done

This method is taken from mobilecon .info. Since I am newbie I dont' have access to paste source link

Worked in my china Android phone.

========= Recover Factory Restore with custom recovery =========

1) Download the latest firmware from Asus site (based os your SKU,eg. ww 9.4.5.26 * firmware)

2) Extract the download zip file somewere on your desktop. The file name should be EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip

3) Copy EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip to the root of your MicroSD card

4) Insert the MicroSD card in your tablet and use button combination to go to recovery --> Start the tablet by pressing Volume Down and POWER together for 5 seconds ,a message will inform you that you have 5 seconds to enter the recovery,press Volume UP before the 5 seconds expire

5) From the recovery menu press Install and select the "EP201_768_SDUPDATE.zip" file ...wait until the install process ends and then restart your device.

[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Because you have unlocked bootloader, that's why you can't use OTA to update, you need re root and with twrp/cwm, you could install the OTA patch version of JB (incremental update). You could use the stock recovery to update to full version JB, but then you will lose root. If you don't know how I can provide some instructions for you.
