Tnx bro

Other question:

I've a backup from.my rom that was on rage kernel, now can I restor that back up while i'm on mesa kernel?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dhallbhoo:
There is no need to factory reset or format cache,data and system, Just flash it.

But in my way... I only wipe dalvik cache just incase if something crash after flashing.

For a better way... Use nandroid backup before all of it.

Hi, my friend at work has an Ace and he's very disappointed with its performance ....so I suggested a custom ROM as I've flashed my phones for years ! He can't be without his phone so I was going to flash it from the SD card at work for him.

Can I do it all from SD , flash CWM etc ..!? Can the whole upgrade be done without a PC !? As I've only ever flashed with Odin ...

Thanks for and help in advance !!!:D
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanilla Pudding:

Yeah ....!!! Go to cwm select the .zip file reboot ur mobile... Dnt frget to wipe ur data in cwm...
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onisuk:
How do I install cwm without a PC though !?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
Flash cwm recovery for ace through stock recovery.

If you're keeping the stock rom make sure to root it first, since flashing the root zip from cwm recovery might not always work.

I hate sprint. How fast is you're sprint data? Here pic of mine! GRR I used Cricket and Verizon on my Droid X the past. Verizon is like 4 time faster. Cricket is 3 time faster then my Epic 4g touch. Oh coverage is really bad too to eveery where I go. So how is you're experience and please tell us you're speed. Post it please. Even the speed of 4g. We have a place in Fresno with 4g but it's the same speed as 3g for the momment. Thanks.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Curiousn00b:
Yeah. Sprint has somewhat good reception, but horrible Data Speeds. Mine is about 500KB higher on download. Tapatalk won't lemme upload.

-Virgin Mobile.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jcervantes11:
I really don't want to pay the 250 cancellation fee plus 89 bucks for previous month. It will be one expensive cancellation. I would actually use cricket. Good network. Covarage is super good same as Verizon. I heard Cricket uses Verizon network and boost uses Sprint. Boost is bad here I don't know how can my friend still use boost. Is it worth to wait for 4g?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] whitebizzle2000:
I agree completely sprint data speeds suck. Whats even worse for me is that sometime its faster in the building that I'm in than it is outside in the parking lot.:crying: This may be the fastest i have been all week.

VA..
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MrChunk:
mine is just as bad all the time.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Tha_Dynasty2049:
i hated cricket lol i mean depending on wat plan you get

you might be limited to 1 state because im from Detroit

but i live in Pennsylvania and they have crikcet and i left to go visit home

and well all my cricket did was roam.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
You silly 3G'rs. I get between 500 to 2000 Kbps on 3G but I usually stick with the 4G which out of the box phone was getting 8 to 12 Mbps, more recently it was 4 but getting good 9 to 10 lately.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
I used to get those numbers in TX with 4g peaking around 12 at my house. Now in Louisville 4g does not exist and 3g is awfully slow when not roaming.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tonyec7:
Why are you guys complaining? I get 200kb-300kb, if the stars align and im lucky i get 500kb.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] lilotimz:
Seriously? You're complaining about >500 kbps speeds and 760kbps upload? when a majority of sprints network is sub 100 kbps dl/ sub 50 kbps upload?

Sprints stated average 3g speeds is 600 kbps - 1.4 mbps and you're almost in that average and you're complaining? If you got a beef with sprint then go talk to them, not spam here. We all know sprints legacy network is crap but they're upgrading via the network vision project so the future is bright.

So if you have a beef with sprint, go pay the etf and cancel your service and go back to Verizon. Don't complain to us. We've already gotten plenty of these "sprint service sucks" thread over the entire length of the life of this device on here.

www.s4gru.com if you want more info.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crkdslider:
This thread again?

The way I see it is if you don't like the network, fork up the contract ending fee and switch. I love Sprint because I have an amazing phone that I can practically do whatever I want to it, and I don't EVER have to worry going over. Even if I am on Wi-Fi most of the time, the price we pay for our service is great compared to others. Although they may have faster networks, we have the ability to fully enjoy the phone by development from our amazing devs. Usually when I want to do something on the phone that ISN'T a text or a call I don't want to be on the network anyways.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
I sometimes thing that by introducing updates to the OS so fast is Google doing the right thing.

Before you all start hitting at me please go through these two scenarios

An OS update every year which ensures that there are major changes and upgrade to the OS which will mean devices will have a better chances of getting upgrades as then the developement cost for customization of a device will be once a year

An OS update every three to six months which ensure most of the device are either not updated or when the update is about to be released the new update is already out the perfect scenario is 4 to 4,1 to 4.1.1 to 4.2 LG is still to release update for ICS for some devices, Samsung is still to release update of JB to most of its device and we have an update to JB whats worst is now we are looking upgrade to 4.2.

Every cell phone or table OEM using Android does its own customization to the OS and then there are some locked phones in the US so for them to release a new version they need to customize it first which will have a cost involved and now with these recent sprint of updates by google I am sure most of our device will not go beyond JB some have not even gone beyond GB yet because at the end of the day these companies are here to make profit and if they end up spending more on developement then what they have earned then naturaly they will not do it.

So I feel this should rationalized to make sure the existing owners do not suffer because of this flawed update policy of Google devices
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] mafia187:
Google OS updates are a total mess. I like how apple do it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Agreed with you the updates are making life of existing owners misreble hell I cannot afford to upgrade my cell every six months or even a year and a tablet for a couple of years because I am from India do not earn that much and secondly we have to buy outright no contracts so for me this is worst thing to happen My LG optimus 2x is still not being updated to ICS and ICS is already obsolute
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hoss_n2:
You are right, even there are Samsung tablets in some regions haven't got ics and now Google is releasing 4.2, I have abad feeling from my experience with Samsung tablets that we are not going to get any updates after jellybean
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
To be frank you cannot blame Samsung or for that matter any other manufacturer because these devices are highly customized and for every new version they have do develope the ROM which involves cost naturally even if you are in business you will not spend on developement when the revenue generated from it is surpased by cost of developement
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jonphinguyen7:
The answer is yes. Stalling leads to less innovation. Besides, the next Jellybean update is not a huge one. This is why I will get a Nexus Phone, because of the updates. As for tha tablet, I can live a little while not having the latest OS.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Google's release planning outwardly looks like it’s being run by a bunch of kids. "Ooh, ooh, we should change how screen orientation works, let's push it out!" There is absolutely no reason they should be pushing out major updates more than twice a year with once a year being ideal. Minor maintenance updates that don’t affect things the manufacturers have written should be pushed out quarterly. The way updates normally work you need to spend as much time considering the impact to your installed base as you do to newer devices. With a set release schedule all those involved know if you want something changed or improved you've got to have it blessed and ready by the revision date. If not, you wait for the next. It's clear they could care less about their installed base. And Nexus devices aren't the answer as they represent less than 5% of Android phones sold. The fragmentation this creates helps no one - customers, manufacturers, app developers, and resellers. And if people have to buy new phones to keep up with the latest Google OS they'll get tired of it eventually and the next new phone they buy could be W8 or iOS. We're Android fans and are loyal. The general populous less so.

This is absolutely unforgivable and is going to come back and bite Google in the ass no matter how many Nexi they create.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] henreeg:
With the exception of ^^ Jonphinguyen7, you guys have it completely wrong.

If you prefer Apple, go to Apple, have "fun" but Google keeps up with all updates just like Apple.

We have Android devices [by Samsung, HTC, Motorola, etc].

You want the real Google experience, get a Google device [Nexus].

Updates are NOT that fast either.

Android 3.x Honeycomb -- Feb 2011

Android 4.0.x Ice Cream Sandwich -- Oct 2011

Android 4.1.x Jelly Bean -- July 2012

Blame the lack of updates on the manufacturer.

That's what we get into when we decide to go with a Galaxy Device... i thought everyone knew.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
You're missing the point completely by assuming your attitude is shared by the majority of phone buyers. Android can't succeed without carrier and manufacturer support. Even Nexus phones on VZW, the biggest carrier in the U.S. and one of the top five in the world, are a train wreck because they use CDMA. Carrier networks while theoretically based on the same technology all have different tweaks that require changes in the radio settings. A generic Nexus device, even on GSM, has problems on certain networks which is why the carrier-sold GN's come in so many different versions. And those carrier GN’s don’t receive updates when Google pushes them out creating the same update frustration for their owners that we’re discussing for the Note.

With 90% of phones sold in the U.S. kept an average of 15 months and subsidized by carriers there is nothing Google can do with its Nexus line that is going to influence the mainstream phone buyer. In market research that's been done those same people also like the features that TouchWiz and Sense provide which is why Samsung and HTC spend so much time and money on their UIs. Enthusiasts like us make up 5% of phone buyers. If Google captures 100% of us and 10% of the rest it's a major fail and a great opportunity for iOS and W8. Google's the "tail," not the "dog" and with Samsung, HTC, Nokia, and Huawei jumping on the W8 band wagon so quickly and heavily you have to ask yourself “why?”

Google's lack of attention to the partners it needs for Android to succeed (carriers, manufacturers) and customers using their OS can't end well when there are viable alternatives like iOS and W8 available from competitors with resources as ample as Google's. The mobile race is in its infancy and anyone can still win and Google needs friends more than they need Key Lime Pie.

This is what Nexus looks like behind the scenes...
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Well said also we need to remember Google Nexus devices are again built in partnership unlike Iphone which means they a dependent of someone for the hardware something I find strange and again show how missmanged things are at google is they own motorola but they are not building their flagship nexus devices instead samsung and lg are doing which makes no business sense as it tells that google does not have confidence that moto can build nexus devices if that is the case then why did they buy it. Google needs to understand updates are great but they are useless if they cannot reach majority of their customer base.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tenderidol:
What you are describing is people who are using unlcoked/unsubsidized GN phones and their numbers are really small compared to the rest of the Android owners. As Barry pointed out, GN phones that are sold by the carriers are not any different when it comes to receiving updates. With this perspective, the people who are enjoying the "real Google experience", which brings frequent updates, is a tiny fraction of their target market, and releasing major updates so often only frustrates both manufacturers and the carriers (at least in the US), not to mention the owners of Android phones/tablets. Just take a look at any carrier-specific forums few days after the release of Android updates and see the slurry of angry comments asking for "where's my update? I'm never buying a Samsung phone/tablet again, etc, etc".

Keep in mind that the relationship between Samsung, HTC, LG, etc. with Google has been based on a "well, there's no other alternative to iOS in the mobile world" argument. Nokia has recently released Windows phones that were received very well as an alternative but couldn't capture significant market share partly due to OS limitations and the "novelty factor". Samsung and HTC had Windows phones before, but none of them were any major players compared to Android or iOS. I don't remember seeing a single commercial touting any Windows phones with the exception of Nokia's recent offerings. Based on what's been published over the years, Google's treatment of this relationship and the fragmentation that it generates with every release have not been received very well by the manufacturers. Like it or not, W8 is designed with mobile platforms in mind first, followed by desktop computing.

As pointed out, the manufacturers of Android devices are not only making W8 tablets, but also many W8 phones, now. Since many people in the US are more familiar with Samsung, HTC and LG, compared to Nokia or Sony Ericsson, the availability of W8 phones will most likely take people away from prospective Android buyers rather than Apple customers. The part of the success of Apple is the unity, integrity and the similarities between MacOS and iOS. In a perfect world, I wouldn't mind using W8 on my desktop, laptop (via bootcamp), tablet and phone (if this happens, I'll be buying a small Android tablet; I'm nostalgic). This is what MS is hoping/planning for, and we'll see how well that could be executed over the next 3-6 months.

If W8 tablets/phones don't generate enough excitement, then we're stuck with Android and Google's further fragmentation. Luckily, Samsung adds a lot more on top of the "plain" Android to keep us happy. I've used my son's Nexus 7 for about a month now, and every single time, I find myself looking for certain components of the TW interface that I'm accustomed to from my Note 10.1. Therefore, I don't see myself buying any Nexus device in the future, but I hope they do well. If the analysts are correct, then Google may be the only manufacturer of high-end Android tablets in the future.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
And let's be honest. The "real Google experience" is a pretty basic OS tied to Google Apps, Google Music, Google Books, Google TV & Movies, and other things Google wants people to buy. Phones with overlays that integrate features and make them easier to use together are more appealing to the mainstream than having to go out to Play Store and figure out which of the dozens of different alternatives available for a specific chore is going to do what they want it to do. And out of a dozen similar apps 2/3 can be total crap and built in someone's garage. Camry's and Accord's are probably about as commoditized a car as any on the market. Yet they are consistently best sellers. The majority of phone buyers like car buyers aren't looking for a do-it-yourself project. They want something reliable, that's low maintenance, and that they know is going to work and hold up over time. And they are the ones that are going to decide whether Android, W8, or iOS is the best and most prevalent mobile OS.

And Google’s hardware division, Motorola, sending a "f-you” message to their customers by reneging on their commitment to move 2011 high-end devices to JB in violation of the Google-sponsored Open Handset Alliance’s covenants speaks volumes about what’s important to Google. If they keep putting unattainable functionality ahead of their existing customer’s experiences they are going to drive people away.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jonphinguyen7:
You all seem to be mistaken on what is the main question at hand. No, Google is not updating too fast, as pointed out with some dates from another poster. The reason it takes too long or never happens (our updates) is because of all the bloat and custom software put into it by manufacturers and OEM's. The "Google Experience" isn't just the main Google apps, it's the OS at it's purest, with no additional features added by manufacturers. Lastly, if you watched the Google I/O you will remember the Google Rep saying that they will be giving update source code to manufacturers six month in advance now, so that they can add all their junk onto it for (hopefully) timely updates.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Jayanth.M.P:
^OS at its purest requires you to download a lot of 'junk' from playstore to even do basic tasks. Some of the manufacturer customization are useful.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heatshiver:
I was wondering if I setup my i9300 for dual-boot with the Siyah kernel, can I have the secondary ROM use a different kernel?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
the kernel is managing the dual boot...what happens when you flash a different kernel? dual boot gone ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
To enable the dual booting, the Siyah Kernel does not other that duplicate some system areas that are fundamental to the operation of a rom. In particular, in order to be able to accommodate a rom secondary, creates a new /system inside the hidden partition /dev/block/mmcblk0p9 , and new folders /date and /cache into the free space existing in the internal memory ( /sdcard/ .secondrom).

The kernel, the folder /efs, the same internal memory, any microsd and all the rest remain rather shared is perfectly visible from both the rom that you decided to install.

The secondary rom is not a rom installed normally (odin or clockworkmod) and then copied using the appropriate options in the Siyah Kernel (see image below), in the areas of system duplicated.

Can be installed in both original firmware Samsung that cooked rom.

The kernel must always remain the Siyah, therefore it must be reinstalled as soon as you flash a rom that does not provide for it.

To be able to enter the secondary rom, during the boot phase it is necessary to press the home key (when viewing the message). Do not remove the folder ,second rom inside the /sdcard. It is the one that contains a part of the rom secondary. Not all options dual-boot in recovery are good.

Hi. Thing is that I've been using MIUI for a long time now but I wanna use regular Android now and I've like 7K SMS'es that I wanna bring with me. I've tried a whole bunch of SMS backup tools but they all seems to import the messages in a wrong order even though the dates are right.
