Beginner's luck

Guys this is probably is off-topic but this thread has been my introduction to the customization world of android - so bear with me.

I was lucky to have my phone HTC Touch HD (winmo) broken right when SGS3 was coming out. So I got it. Took the decision to install custom ROM and I was lucky not to go through any other ROM but to land right here... I got my phone rooted with CF-Root for SGS3 v6.4

The bad thing with good luck, no mistakes on my side and no problems up till now is that you DON'T actually learn. So here I am with a perfectly working phone that I never saw it's stock recovery nor know it's internals as well as I would like too! (That's one reason the other is my son draining me of all my free time ;) ) I've read bits and parts trying to connect the puzzle in order to get a clear understanding on the topic but up till now I am lost in loops of things that work together and things that don't.

My questions, sparked from reading some posts above mentioning different custom recoveries....:

- Should I keep on using cwm 5.5: cf1.5 that I got when I flashed CF-Root for SGS3 v6.4? I get the job done with it but I don't mind updating to something better.

- I don't mind having a red exclamation mark when booting and /or counter. But should I consider Mobile Odin and/or Triangle away?

- How are custom recoveries connected / related to kernels?

- If I was to flash stock ICS on the phone in order to lose root /custom recovey what is the ideal way to get started all over again?

- Are all previous questions and my intention to redo everything from start just begging for getting into trouble? :)

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Yeah, best way to really learn is to go through trouble, you're right in that ;)

Well that is mainly a question of preference on your end, whichever gets the job done is good enough. If you want to be prepared for the future (4.2) you might give a look at TWRP 2.3.3.0, though.

Although all of these are related, they are different things ;)

Using Odin will incread the flash counter (which is not the case using a custom recovery).

Triangle away is just a tool to reset that counter to 0, that's all there is.

Just not at all. The recovery is a complete and seperate system (dual boot if you want), that is not connected to the main system at all. This allows for modifications of the main system while it's not running, that's its goal.

Good question, there are unroot guides, but ..

This and the question above sure are ;) Why the trouble to unroot if it is to root again after that ? Just fullwipe and reinstall a ROM would be easier and safer ;)

JP.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] j0hnnyp:
I 'll do that.

I was referring to Mobile Odin.... think I 've read it doesn't.

That is what I thought thanks for clarifying it. I had some doubts reading some posts about cf root mentioning kernels... guess those were old and not related to the recovery but the root part...

You 're so kind... :) :) Even I wouldn't dare ask for a tutorial for unrooting...

But "getting started" was referring after the unrooting: cleaner/simpler method to get root (cf auto root maybe? any other options? ), what recovery, recommended tools/apps to install etc.

You convinced me not to unroot and get it all from start... but if I had, It would have been in order to see all the stock thingies I never paid attention too in order to appreciate the custom goodness :) :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Well to be honest, when I got my S3 out of it's box, all I did was to charge it, plug it to my PC and use mskip's tool, and never looked back from there :D

I'm no fan of odin, either kind, because I prefer common tools which are available on all devices, so I only went using recovery from there, my counter is at 1 still, that was for rooting the device and getting CWM on it ;) I even flash new recovery using recovery not odin.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] sotmax:
In my store i sell about 6-10 s3 per week as i m mainly repairs and none of the owners want to see it stock as they see mine :p

About recovery.

The one that provided with cf root meet the answer to question about how good is internet explorer---> only for downloading firefox,chrome ;)

It s only thr step to go further ahead and only that as it cause a serious future problem called backup.

Its slow on this section,deadly slow i can say and cannot backup in tar which means that you have media scanner wajelock in your pocket ;) .

Twrp is far better and with perfect ui but have a little problem also with binaries and that only when flash a theme.

So at the end the most stable is philz touch recovery which have tar backup and no problem with themes.

Personally as i m not theming anything i m using twrp which i like it a lot ;)

Hi! I got one problem that I didn't have before.

I'm using sotmax v10 with yank's kernel v2.8c. When I'm using Skype with video, if I choose the option to change to the rear camera, the program freezes! :S

Could anyone try this? May be the kernel?

Remove skype wipe dalvik n cache and reinstall it.

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blasphy62:
If you use CF root. First thing you should be doing is making an EFS backup. S3 is notorious for corrupting the cfs causing phone to become useless.

You should always use the latest Cwm. Install the rom manager from clockwork from play store and let it fix you up.

Tringle away fixes the exclamation not mobile odin.

Recovery is like an extended boot option which let's you install new os and kernel. Kernel is the software which controls your hardware.

No need to redo anything. It's not gonna help. Instead discuss the exact problem.

ALSO MAKE EFS BACKUP AND SAVE IT ON YOUR COMPUTER NOW!

Thank you Sotmax! That actually worked! :)

What bloatware/apps got removed from this rom? If any
[Galaxy S III Android Development] fantasmanegro:

[Galaxy S III Android Development] Sandman83:
A question to Sotmax.

As I told here already, I experience some lags when exiting stock browser in v10, however I don't experience it in v9. For me v9 is way faster than v10. I remember I read that u have done some ram optimizations in this version. Will u include those optimizations in v11?

Thanks for a reply.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] j0hnnyp:
I did an EFS backup back when I got started and if I remember well did it in two or three different ways. :)

Isn't that something everybody needs to do? How is that related to cf root?

I know triangle does that. I mentioned mobile odin cause it seems to avoid raising the counter of modifications? Anyway I really don't care about being in modified state since I don't intend in reselling my phone. If I ever need to use the warranty I 'll see from there...

I know what a kernel, partition, boot are. That's why I wanted to clarify it. Having read about cf root got me thinking how and why kernels were mentioned and why it needed a special cwm recovery..

I don't have a problem, that's my "problem" :) But still need to learn. Thanks for taking the time to answer ;)

V10 gallery lag

Hi All,

I've searched this thread for the answer but not found wjat I'm looking for. I've installed V10 after wipe/factory reset/cache and it all works like a charm except the gallery so far. It's super laggy and unusable. I'm wondering if its just this version of the gallery app and if installing an older version would correct it? If so, does anyone have a link?

That aside, lovely quick ROM - Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamma:
Simply use QuickPic.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] ninebar69:
I was hoping to get the default gallery working. I know i can use quickpic but the gallery icon in camera mode defaults to default gallery app - unless that can be changed.....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Ra1n3R:
How many pics are in your gallery? I have ~800 and gallery working fine.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoWeKo:

Surely off topic but the news is going viral, anybody heard about this yet?

It scares the hell out of me since i spent almost a 1000 bucks for my device and bought it here in Maldives where warranty is a myth lol. Carrier plans and warranty are a fairy tale as well. Im so worried my device will die any minute.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] zimmerAndy:

i think theres a fix to that

[Galaxy S III Android Development] ninebar69:
About the same 800 or so. QuickPic and other gallery apps are fine - no lag. Just default gallery hangs and unusable. I've left it loaded in case it just needed to cache the images but still no joy...Odd. The rest of the phone is super super snappy..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Blasphy62:

question: so if your not affected you dont need to worried about the exploit???

sorry of the off topic it just really scary...
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey..i just run that test..result says my device IS affected...:(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STELIOSFAN:
Or you can't just browse to dev/exynos-mem (if the permissions are r-------- then you are ok, if they are "rw-rw-rw-" then you are not ok)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey..just changed permissions...thanks for that..phew:)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] hamma:
With yank´s kernel you´re protected, too.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] AladdinZ:
Seriously guys, this NAND memory bricking has nothing to do with the kernel exploit :( I have been protected for that since Yank released the fixed kernel.

This new developing issue of S3 getting bricked is totally messed up. Samsung is yet to comment on it.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] tarzan11:
Hey..yes i thought that..but test says IS affected...;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] STELIOSFAN:
for me, with 2.8c I get "NOT AFFECTED" and by checking I found that the permissions are set to r--------
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
The exynos-mem exploit is blocked in my kernel as of 2.8c (which was released the day the exploit was reported). Any kernel (mine or any other kernel for that matter) older than that date cannot protect you, since noone actually knew about it.

And stock kernels still have the vulnerability.

So I really advise everyone to update his/her kernel to a protected version of their respective kernel (2.8c or later for my kernel).

And I confirm, the motherboards dying is a hardware problem and is totally unrelated to the exynos-mem abuse exploit which is a pure software related issue.

Nontheless, someone with bad intention and the necssary knowledge can hardbrick your S3 using the exploit !

So don't wait and update now !!

JP.

PS: As Chainfire said in his exploit fix comparison thread, APP-fixes are more or less safe, but only kernel-side fix can provide 100% saftey from the exploit !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] enigma1981:
+1 to that - I'm on 2.8e and I get "not affected" :)

This makes me a happy panda!

However, wondering whether or not the phone will wake up in the mornings is still a constant concern!!

I hope someone somewhere can work out if the exact cause of the sudden death syndrome and if it's specific versions (or a certain serial number range) of motherboards that are failing then devise an app to check this to tell us definitively if our device is likely to commit suicide!

Until that happens I feel like I'm walking around with a grenade in my pocket just waiting to go off!

(maybe not quite so drastic, but the concern is still there lol)

For me Yank's kernel is super fast, bug free and for some odd reason, I feel safer :P

BTW, I have now XXDLID modem installed on my V10. Do you think that its downgrade -technically speaking- from XXELKC?

I didn't see any major improvement with DLID, except than in deep sleep the phone was 1% down after 6 hours !!! (OMG) so maybe I will stick with it (I just want to know for psychological reasons, if XXELKC being newer, is somehow better)

I thought it had to do something with it, as it checks for mail or i.e. whatsapp, but then again I wasn't so sure :P

Do you -in your personal opinion- recommend going back to the default XXELKC from v10, or keep DLID I recently flash? I know it has to do with the carrier, country etc, but I would really appreciate your opinion in general, as it involves wifi and gps ;)

Thanks again in advance
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yank555:
Honestly never really saw much difference, I use the modem that matches the RIL used in the ROM (you can use GetRIL from Play Store). I never changed RIL, just use the app to check which it is and flash the corresponding modem.
