hi

just got my new s3 and its locked - currently awaiting the code - but want to root tonight/tm and place a fast, stable and excellent custom rom on it using odin.

whats the best one to use at this time and the safest way?
[Galaxy S III General] GR36:
jesus! it like two posts above saying dont post rubbish like this
[Galaxy S III General] Nick Fury:
Your not supposed to ask which is the best rom as it can cause heated debates which are now allowed on XDA.

If you flick through Android Development Section you will find loads of custom roms in there.

On a side note.

Is it possible to turn the dialer off and yet keep data on?

What I'm looking to do is stream movies,listen to music and so on with data on....uninterrupted by calls,i would like the phone off but everything else on.

I've already tried freezing the phone.apk in tb pro but that didn't work.

I would really like this weekend to myself without having to loose data.

How about trying a call/text blocker app? For example, afirewall or Black List. Put all your contacts (or the most likely to call) on the blocking list. I don't know. Just brainstorming. :)

Hi,

I just flashed *Matr1x* v23.5BLN kernel for BLN support, but it does not work on my Nexus S i9023. I tried BLN control and NSTools for activation, but without any success.

Does anyone have experiences with BLN with the same configuration?

Thanks in advance :)

I really can not believe that, most of you who said sony is just releasing many phones, and after that can not handle updates - all of you said the truth.

They made absolutely buggy ICS for most of their phones, while samsung and htc are rolling 4.1 and i dont see so many complaints about their updates.

It seems that Sony really doesnt care that much - they dont value us so they can update on time, to make good and stable updates.

So i think they dont deserve us.

Your problem is strange because it's the first time I see someone talk about it. In sense 3.6 yes but in sense 4.0 no. So I don't think there's a fix to solve it. I never saw it anywhere. I recommend you to flash the rom again with full wipe. Maybe it can solve it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] entony80:
it is strange for me, because it just makes sense with 4 after installing the rom with a total cleaning. I noticed that after a while it goes away, but after a while ....... but if I install a new rom and then restore returns. Bhooo!!! :confused: thanks for your support

Just flashed CM10 on my Nexus 7 and so far so good it's been working great (besides the volume button in the taskbar that doesn't toggle back and forth).

I just had a quick question regarding the OTA functionality. I flashed my Nexus 7 kernel to the latest Motley kernel (that supports 4.1.2) so I was wondering if the OTA functionality would still work (I recall not being able to obtain the OTA updates when I was running the stock ROM with Motley kernel).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex240188:

Right they rolled that up on the latest CM10 which I have...

My question really is whether the OTA update will work with modified kernel (and if it shows whether I should even push the update knowing that I have a different kernel).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rycon33:
I'm always at faux kernel, but of course when you installed the update you will have the stock cm10 kernel again. You just have to install your custom kernel again afterwards.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samw52000:
Right... now do you know if the update will even show? Somehow it wasn't with the stock ROM and motley kernel so I'm not sure if there is some sort of check for kernel version on these OTA check.
[Asus Transformer TF700] flamingsnot:
Hey all, I've read up on alot of what I needed to do with regard to rooting and unlocking and installing a custom recovery and I thank all of the people who've contributed so much to the TF700 scene and the android dev in general.

What i need help with now is a suggestion on which rom to go for. Now I have gotten this far, but this last step is sort of like a leap of faith for me as i do not have nvflash installed because my tablet came with the .30 firmware by default. I also have a few questions: my jb version is 4.1.1, can I flash cm10 for JB 4.1.2? It might be a stupid question, but i haven't found an answer at all from the threads. Cleanrom is also an option, so is it easy to flash? I'm very worried to take the last step because as ive said i dont have nvflash to back me up if something goes horribly wrong.

Any help would be very much appreciated!

Broken Screen backup

I have an unrooted samsung galaxy sii with a broken screen. I Have a replacement phone, and I used kies to backup the old phone. However, none of my apps/settings/icons etc are in the restore.

Is there any way to do a bit by bit copy of the hard drive from the old device to new?

or are there any guides on replacing the screen (or viewing/controlling the screen) of the broken phone so I can root it and perform a full backup?

As a last resort, can I swap the hard drives on the two devices?
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rouz.:
I bought a windows phone 7 device back in december 2010, I loved the OS, but the lack of apps in the market place was a burden to me, and therefore, i switched to android (and I've been using it ever since)

Now, considering that nearly 2 years have passed, I'm considering buying a WP8 device. Is it a good time to switch back to windows phone? Is the OS still lacking or is it mature now?

Any opinion is much appreciated!
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taurenking:
As of now, personally, I wouldn't make the switch for this reasons:

1 - There's still a lack of Apps. Not even talking about the quantity (100.000+) but talking bout the quality. Most apps are crap and do not render a nice experience as iOS & Android.

2 - WinPhone 8 is on it's way, but basically we know really little about it, also, the SDK was not given out, meaning good applications using WP8 new functions (Directx/C++ etc..) will not be out perhaps for...2 months?

And I'm a windows phone fanboy/dev, even though i'm thinking to switch to Android.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcosmin222:
Never rush on getting new devices with newest versions of an OS.

There is bound to be bugs, no matter how much beta testing was done.

I suggest you wait for the second wave of Windows Phone 8, which will probably bring better hardware and more variety.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr.8820:
I concur. I can't honestly recommend WP when I don't even know what it has or does...Microsoft has only let bits and pieces out about the software, we know about the hardware though.

We must have been using different OS'es then, WP7 apps are now in pair with Androd/iOS and beat them in termfs of design.

With WP8 native code support and shared Windpws 8 core, it's a very safe bet.

I'm also switching now from Android.

I've used Android phones since the very beginning, but after you flashed weekly a new ROM, maybe kernel too, you're getting old.

And after I've used the Lumia 900 for a week, I just knew that my new phone must run WP.

I also think with WP8 the OS will grow up a little, so I am really excited about my preordered Lumia 920.

Same boat I've got a S3, and while the android platform is pretty cool i've had one since the HTC Desire and while the phones have got better i'm tiring of seeing the same old UI, whether AOSP, Touchwiz, Sense.

WindowsP8 looks different and more than anything fat thumb friendly (a problem I have) and of course functional. I've been a windows user since 3.1 and well i'm not changing anytime soon, if this phone can be a extension of my pc then it's already forming a strong argument.

Being a n00b to the WP8 thing is there anyway i can look at the app store, or a demo of the ui, as well i don't wanna lay down £500 for a phone that i don't get on with lol

Hi Shu., one of the great WinMo 6.5, 6.5.x Developpers! Nice to see you here. I bought an HTC Titan some time ago and recently sold it because WP8 was approaching. I personally won't buy any HTC WP8 device until it reaches (or even beats) the One X. That said, I'm not waiting for a quad-core, the dual-core S4 Krait beats in almost all aspects the quad-core Tegra 3 (see HTC One X international vs HTC One X US version). If there's an unlocked bootloader/HSPL, then I'll consider one. The best bet now is the Samsung ATIV S (sd card slot, 4.8" screen, yes!), but it's good ol' sammy plastic, as usual. So don't buy anything until December and if you have enough connections, you might remain on Android (HTC J Butterfly)

Hi Folks :)

Well, here start the great thread of graphics tutorials.

I open this thread at first because I want to share a tutorial with a friendhere, then I think about made it my tutos thread. But, hey ! Why not turn this thread in a bible here on XDA by sharing yours here too :)

Rookie or expert if you want to try or share your tips, this is the place to post.

Only recommandation : if you post, add a title with the concerned software like [PS] or [GIMP] or else for better user experience.

I go on with a first one...? Let's get straight to it !

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

Tutorial made with Photoshop

[PS6] Tutorial made in Photoshop CS6

How to make a gradience from color to tranparent (or another color) ?

Like I did to create this effect on this Mint Rounded Iconset.

We are going to work on a layer style options. I do it this way to have full control on the gradient effect.

In my exemple I add a background layer (Towelie :P) for this effect to be more explicit to you.

First, create a white round shape (press U key, select shape tool each tools have a key assigned).

Tips : shift+key and you will navigate thru "sub-tools".

On the layer list double click on the shape to enter layer style.

In the style window, click on the gradient label to enable it and enter gradient style settings (should appear on the right side of the window),

On the gradient style settings, click the gradient color to open gradient editor window

Everything we have to do (or most part of it) is in this editor window.

1 - click on the left starting color,

2 - pick a color if needed,

3 - click the opacity control,

4 - change opacity,

Do these 4 steps for the ending color. Knowing that you can add steps (colors) to your gradient by clicking under the gradient preview, delete steps by click / hold / swipe away.

Ok now I validate all my settings, here is what I get now after I set my gradient from pure white to pure black each with 20% opacity.

We see the 20% black but not the 20% white, obviously because white is the color of the shape itself.

... But how can I turn this to let my wallpaper appear ?

Here is one of my favorite and not that much used tips.

1 - return to layer style window, ensure the "merge options : default" is highlighted in left column,

2 - then, as you all know, in RGB pure black is 0, pure white is 255. So we're going to ask the layer to display only color between 0 and 250. By setting the slide to 250 (as seen on the following screen capt).

3 - Valide, et voilà ! :)

Tips : Regarding the slide button you set at 250 on previous step 2, This method is very usefull to deep-etch models hair !

Just click ALT key before click /slide the little triangle button, this will split it in half and you can tweak it to your needs.

imagine now I put on top of this gradient another white shape with drop shadow + gradient inverted effects...

Ok you've got the idea ? ;) Now go create !​
