been reading for this. Thanks Team Deviant Dev. you are Awesome.

Thanks, I got this working to decompile systemui.apk question is should I decompile that .apk as with a dependency or dependents . and if the systemui.apk has been modded can I alter it with this program? thanks a million

Thank you; I want to learn how to theme and all that but been having a hard time getting everything setup properly. This sounds like it might be at least a little easier I'll let you know after testing. Thanks again for all ur time and hard work!!!

Edit: Just did an apk that I wanted to theme for my personal use and even though I need to get more familiar with Gimp ur program worked flawlessly. Many thanks!!!

keeps telling me that java is not detected. I updated it and I am running windows 8. Any troubleshooting I should try?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vebulous:
A common problem associated with Java not being detected is the architecture. You're running windows 8 but which version:

32bit (x86 or X86_32 or i586) or

64bit (X86_64 or AMD64).

If you're running win8 64bit and install the 32bit binary for java, it installs it in the C:\Program Files (x86); whereas the ADT and Deviant Manager look for java in C:\Program Files (hence a "Java is not installed" error).

Because 64bit systems can run 32bit binaries, this is a common mistake that many people make and even though Java32 will work in in win8-64, its not the correct version.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GT247:
Greetings, all!

We on the Council have been speaking with ptmr3 of late, and real life is pushing him very, very hard right now. As a result, we’ve suggested to him, and he has accepted, that he should probably back off of all of his work on XDA for a bit. We would MUCH rather see him take a break for a while than burn out and just walk away.

As a result, updates will be few and far between for a while, and the Council, as well as the other members of these threads, I am confident will jump in and help any and every way they can. This is the essence of the Jedi spirit.

ptmr3, and we as the Council, appreciate everyone’s patience and understanding in this matter.

With respect and thanks to all,

-GT247 by request of the Jedi Council

Hi xda

how to import/merge user dictionary of various keyboards like swype, swiftkey, touchpal etc??

New and new keyboards are coming up these days, so I think there should be an universal format of dictionary or a software to import them. :good:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Gordon Ramsay:
so long story short I am looking at ditching sprint where I have an EVO LTE. Trust me when I say I am used to crap reception and data speeds. I was reading the thread full of other people who have came from sprint and most seem happy but... I read a lot of comments from long time Verizon users saying things like " I have to contort like a monkey to get a message to go through". Are these just spoiled Verizon users that don't know how good they've got it? Or is coming from sprint a waste of my time? Thanks for any and all input.

PS: Verizon has LTE all over my area, sprint has not announced any LTE anywhere near me. Is the LTE utilized for voice and text? Will this help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] apacseven:
Im sure others have problems, but mine has been great. Not a single issue to speak of. Been running CM10 for 2 months now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shojus:
NO radio problems here.... I think a lot of people with problems may be on the border of having coverage where they are...? I have FULL bars no matter where I go in Michigan (except in Walmart) LOL I have LTE coverage too and it's been a solid performer and I may drop a call here and there but nothing out of the norm... Just my personal experiences...:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmichaels1982:
My .02

Go to a verizon store, put a rezound side by side to a samsung galaxy s3 and compare the dbm and asu and u will see how terrible the signal is . My phone is constantly at least 20 dbm less than the rezound .

It feels like i am back to sprint or tmobile since i got my device, constant data drops, phone call break ups and 4g/3g handing off is terrible .

Btw this is my 4th sim and second samsung galaxy s3 trial now , still reception in comparison to any htc phone is horrible.

Htc put their 4g antennas on the back cover which i think makes them practically immune to low signal issues.

Its a pretty phone , but if u want a device that actually communicates with satellites and cell towers, then get a real phone . not this one .

waiting for htc dlx

Mine has been completely fine.

Currently not being productive on my S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dwyw42:
I came from Sprint at the beginning of the month. On Sprint it had gotten so bad that I was on 1 bar 90% of the time in the middle of the New Orleans area. I gave up waiting for it to get better and installed Roam Control so I could force it to roam on Verizon. Forced roaming only gets you 1x data, but it gave me full signal which prevented dropouts and draining the battery.

Now I'm on Verizon with the S3 and have no signal issues. I don't think I've ever seen less than 3 bars. The signal starts might be lower than other phones based on other people's experience but I wouldn't know because I haven't had any problems to make it worth checking. I think it really depends on your area. If your current phone is rooted, you could try Roam Control to get an idea of what the signal strength will be like, although you'll be stuck on 1x data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] funnyperson1:
I too was scared by the reports in various threads that these devices have horrible radios. We switched to Verizon from ATT because ATT doesn't work at all at my office (searching for reception).

I haven't been looking at dBM or anything but from a functional standpoint I haven't had any issues. There are some areas where before I was getting 4-5 3G bars on my ATT iPhone4 where the SGS3 bounces between 1-3 bars 4G LTE. It's always disturbing when you see 1 bar of reception, but the phone operates well even getting 4-5Mbps in speedtest. If you look at bars (I know not really accurate) and whether or not I can browse, call, etc. the SGS3 compares favorable to the wife's iPhone5. In fact there were a couple places where I was getting 1-2 bars 4G and the iPhone5 dropped to 3G.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] txkorm:
Her are some screen shots of my signals after an update last night. These are the best I've gotten on both and better than anything I saw on my Rezound.

Currently not being productive on my S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sccrluk9:
Never had an issue with signal on my S3. You also need to realize that the most vocal people are those that have an issue. For every 1 person posting about an issue there a dozens that have no problem at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bL33d:
Signal on my s3 is great its 100 times better then gnex was and about on par with my old droid RAZR.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Slacker101:
This doesn't work, each manufacturer measures it slightly differently. You have to use a third party app to compare phones that are not the same model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tekhna:
Yes, it is. My GS3 consistently drops in places where my Rezound and iPhone work without a hiccup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] musclehead84:
I actually just switched from Sprint to Verizon last week and love it. My gs3 has great reception and the network is very fast. I get a consistent 30 mbps down all over my area. With Sprint I was lucky to get 500 kbps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] boe:
The Nexus was the worst for reception. The S3 is a close second. It seems to be people in some parts of the country don't notice the issue - possibly because they don't use their phone much or because they have towers that use different technology than the towers in the areas I travel. I spend a lot of time in Los Angeles, Vegas and Dallas. I can be at 4 bars one second and no bars (drop the call) and go back to 4 bars the next.

I was on Sprint and the HTC EVO 3D had that same issue even though the EVO didn't. I did always get crap data speeds on Sprint though. Some phones get great signal like the Motorola - so the question is - which is more imporant to you - the PDA or the phone. I use about 3000 minutes per month so I notice quickly when there are issues with a phones reception. My data speeds on the S3 are much better than I had on Sprint.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
No the radios are not bad.

Excellent service, all the time here. In fact, I've never seen my phone with less than 3 bars, anywhere I go. And I travel a lot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ercDROID:
Yes the radios are very bad.....although improving. With the HE radio I finally have seem -99 dbm at my house although most of the time it is around -105. This is much improved compared to the original radio where I saw on average -110. I still drop calls in areas where I never have before. The poster that stated that HTC's have better signal are definitely correct. My wifes old rezound normally saw -80 to -85 at my house and never dropped calls anywhere. My old Thunderbolt was the same. Funny thing is that no matter what direction I go from my house, once I am a minute away I get full reception.....no matter what way I go. The radios don't do a good job of reaching out for the signal. The range is bad. Those stating that they are happy with their radios are probably in areas that don't have any weak spots. I'm holding out for newer radios cause every release seems to be a small step in the right direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Same exact thing here! You took the words directly out of my mouth.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ercDROID:
Here are the results of a real world test that I just did with a co-workers HTC Thunderbolt compared to my SG3:

Both phones on 4g and side by side

HTC dBM -66

SG3 dBM -92

I think the results are pretty clear. Nothing else really needs to be said about the quality of the SG3 radio......it is not as good as the competition. If it was close by a few dBM then it would not be of concern to me. A 26 dBM difference is huge!

Because of this difference in signal strength he was able to have much faster download speeds. I was 17 down compared to his 27 down.

sorry for bumping this but this issue is starting to annoy me. Since my last "Low on space" notification came on, i deleted a few games and that cleared the notification. ever since I have not installed any memory hogging apps then out of no where i get the "low on space" notification again, so i just left it and a couple of days the notification went away. it's happened a few times. Now the notification came back and my phone is acting up. I can not open Gallery, I can not receive SMS because it says no space. Viber force closes....arrrgh it's pissing me off. Not cool because i use this phone for work. I know for a fact that my internal memory should have free space because before the notifications i had 8-9gb of free memory. any suggestions or fixes?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTK:
i have had the same problem of missing disk space and used "Storage Analyser"

by LeveloKment, with root permissions it found what DiskUsage,Memory Map & DiskView could not find and that was thousands of logs located in system\data\log i deleted those logs and everything was fixed

this app gave the correct path size unlike the rest that i mentioned i hope that helped
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swift2fly:
thanks. but i've tried installing those apps and my phone tells me "insufficient memory". i've deleted a few files, which free'd up 125mb of space and still won't allow me to install those apps. Anyways, i checked system/data/log and i have a few files in there but not sure which to delete.

In the app it shows i now have 8.48gb but in system settings under storage it says i have 192mb free and i still have the Low Memory notification. 8.48gb is about right because i took the time to look at all the folders on my internal memory.

I have green lense defy in which i had accidently flashed defy plus rom. now my defy is on sbf of defy plus as it is non down (BL7)

For almost 1 month My camera was dead but after flashing quarks 2nd boot rom ( which includes custom kernels) my camera starts working.

Now if i flash other roms for eq. rapidroid / miui / wajkUI then kernels changes ( it shows kernel name like hudson ) & again my camera wont work.

Should I flash custom kernel of quarks on the above mentioned roms?? Will Camera work ???

Please guide me ...Thanks in Advnce...
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trurl3:
Latest Qarx ROM's have kernel embedded so you do not need to flash nothing more but gapps. Do cash and dalvic wipe and flash newest 18/10 ROM then gapps.

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] erciolino:
Have you checked if the base firmware version for the installation of your custom ROM is right? If yes, do the same for the compatibility of the CF root file. Then I suggest to restart frashing from the KPE (2.3.4) and then the relative 2.3.6. You can find all the stock roms here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1004647

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deeksterjay:
Thanks for the feedback.

Yes, I believe they are compatible. I flashed a KPE ROM twice then flashed a DDFL2 but had some issues rooting since the phone is not functioning very well to start with. So, I flashed the KPE ROM again and rooted it using CF-Root.

I believe the phones' hardware is having some issues since wiping and resetting the phone to factory setting doesn't actually delete anything on the phone. That's when I started to work on it. But I think the phone is just plain broken. I'm just going to have it checked by a Samsung repair shop.

Thank you very much for the advice. :D
