[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonetti2011:
YEs, it is normal.

The motto with Android is that "unused RAM is wasted RAM"

The way Android manages RAM has nothing to do with how we are used to see RAM with PCs, since PCs don't cache apps that are not running.

In Android, the apps are cached so they are easier to access the next time you need them. This is specially useful for apps like Contacts, Dialer, etc. Remember that everything in Android is an application.

My phone yesterday had only 80Mb free and yet it was quite snappy, very responsive.

So, in short forget about RAM in Android devices. We gotta get rid of the old paradigm of how RAM works in a tradicional PC.

I want something that feels a bit quicker, can anyone recommend a nice rom that's like stock but lighter? My current model shown below...

I have the same symptoms with stock JB. I updated my G3 via Kies. Any ideas how to speed it up without wiping everything?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
You can try Foxhound Rom Essentials Version which has a lot of things removed that aren't needed (Like S Voice, Samsung Apps, Bloatware etc). There's also Hyper Light rom (I think). Have a look in the rom section and look for roms that mention the word light.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Notorious:
Alright well heres the case. Im not a noob when it comes to this kind of stuff its just that this my friends phone that he asked me to fix. His phone was running aokp and he told me he woke up w and it only rebooted to the bootloader. It would not boot into the OS. Whenever i tried to get into recovery it would scan for the (Pxxxx.zip file) then it would just reboot and i wouldnt be able to hit recovery/. He gave it to me to fix without a sdcard btw. So first i attempted to flash the latest CWM recovery through fastboot and it would say it failed but it would flash. And when i would go into the recovery it would give me a bunch of errors about not being able to mount certain partitions(i believe due to no sdcard in the phone) So i put my sdcard in with Mikrunny v1.01 and did a factory reset in CWM wiped dalvik cache and all was well after flashing the rom. Now another problem showed up which was that since i had to take my sdcard out and put it back in my phone whenever i took the sdcard out it showed the same symptoms as before where it would just reboot the bootloader whenever i hit recovery. So i had to flash the recovery everysingle time i would insert and reinsert jjust to get into the OS. Well finally the phone just stopped charging and i thought it just died completely. Messed with it for a hour and it rebooted to the bootloader for no reason after i thought it was over. Now i have a feeling there might be something wrong with the partitions in the phone so i was thinking of running the Device: HTC Incredible 2

RUU Version: 2.18.605.3

Radio Version: 1.09.01.0622

Android Version: 2.3.3 RUU

but im not sure if the hboot would change the revolutionary hboot and take its Soff away. On my phone running a RUU doesnt change the Revolutionary HBoot but i wasnt sure about this phone. Would i have any issues running that RUU? The bootloader shows

[HTC Rezound] Cranialn8:
Hello XDA Rezound community! First time poster here..

I am relatively new to rooting and now want to S-OFF. My previous attempts have resulted in a boot to the white HTC load screen and freeze at that point. Controlbear then waits for the device and obviously fails to complete the process. My needs are two-fold. I would like the proper instructions for completing this task and the knowledge of what to do if the white screen occurs during my future attempts. Thank you for your time and assistance with this thread.

What I've done to prepare:

1. Installed 4.03.605.2 RUU from Android Police -- (with locked bootloader). Done by inserting package onto SD card as PH98IMG

2. Unlocked bootloader with assistance from Hasoon2000 all in one kit. Verified unlocked.

3. Flashed Recovery - AmonRa v3.15

4. Installed SU (superuser) times 2. (Perm Root function with Hasoon2000's kit and via AmonRa) Rebooted phone.

5. Loaded SU and used Root Checker to showed "Rooted Successfully"

6. Made a nandroid backup of my phone's current state.

7. Bought extra MicroSD (HC). Have insulated paperclip. Created the C:/ directory for adb and fastboot driver/commands.

8. Downloaded multiple versions of JuopnutBear control bear: _pyramid_ICS_WIN; _vigor_ICS_3.13.605.7_WIN; _vigor_ICS_3.14.605.5

9. Downloaded md5checker and prepared to use it

10. Read instructions from unlimited.io/jb_vigor
[HTC Rezound] famouscollin:
Your steps you did at the bottom are pretty much right on.. as for one of your two fold question: running an ruu will usually fix any problem you encounter while doing the procedure.. also use the .5 ICS version of control bear with that particular ruu your using.. (latest) proper steps here. http://unlimited.io/ but as I said before the way you put it yourself is about spot on.
[HTC Rezound] LOBBS:
Yep, that's pretty much the same process, including Hasoon's toolkit, that I used over the weekend to do mine finally.

Some guys have had luck with a paper clip but I'd recommend a 14 gauge wire. I had a solid copper core insulated ground wire and it worked beautifully on the second try.
[HTC Rezound] Cranialn8:

Thanks, both, and CharliesTheMan for assistance on this. Note to others -- be sure to ask which Control Bear version is needed for the Stock ICS RUU you most recently flashed. Most importantly - read the forums and instructions thoroughly. Enjoy!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Chris9446:
So I've been lurking the these forums for quite awhile now and I've flashed probably a hundred different times on my HTC Desire so I know a bit of what's going on here... Anyways, before I root and flash on some beautiful AOSP rom, I have a few questions.

I've got a Koodo T989 (Galaxy S2X or Hercules)

I can or cannot root using the program a lot of people use.?

Is it possible to unroot and reset the flash counter in case I need to return the phone for warranty?

Do all galaxy s2x's use the same roms? (as in the s2x (from t-mobile) and the s2x (from canada) use the same roms?

Whats the different between the touch CWM and the normal volume scrolling CWM? Which is more compatible with the more popular roms?

Is there anything else I need to save or backup before I start rooting and flashing?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] XupModz:
Well usually on a s2(any variant) won't trip the flash counter whatever you do I cant get it to trip anyway...I know you can use Odin I'll find a link and PM it to you if you like I think all variants are the same on the ROM part but the radios are different, you would just want to backup your stock rom just to be safe and IMO touch recoveries are better I use TWRP it never fails me I have problems with CWMR...and I believe compatibility will be the same across the board as long as they have the same hardware it will be no doubt
[General Questions and Answers] jonnyleechee:
Okay, so i have just ordered a Hero H2000+ from android-sale, and i was wondering since the LED flash is apparently horrible (they said it was only there for looks haha), i was thinking.....If i were to use clear nail polish, do you think it would amplify the light and make it brighter?? i dont have a spare phone to try it on since they are all being used by my family members, give me some insight on what you guys think about this idea haha, will it work? or will it just make it worst and in result you guys will make fun of me for asking such a stupid question haha :crying:
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
If anything, it might diminish the light passing through, as you are adding more layers. If you added something with a lens effect, you could theoretically focus & intensify the light, but an even coat of clear nail polish won't do that.

I've been using synergy and i love the built in call recorder. i'm thinking of flashing to something different what program does synergy use to record? is there an alternative?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] feom:
I've been looking for this too, non of the market apps seem to work, but synergy had it working perfectly, but I moved on from that Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
I think as long as you are still on a TW ICS ROM you should be able to extract the SecPhone.apk from Synergy and use it as if installing any other apk. (May have to manually replace your current SecPhone.apk or phone.apk whichever you have). If you manually do it you do have to reboot before it will take effect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FrostyOrDie:
Has anyone tried this?

Shh! maybe I'm just paranoid, but I think people are listening....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Try it yourself lol. Just rename the original secphone.apk.bak that way you can go back. It won't screw anything up that you can't fix by just undoing the same steps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mcniglet:
I found a zip the other day, now I can't find the forum post but I still have the zip and ran it in recover. It works like a charm on clean rom 3.0, implemented (I guess that's right) just like the synergy call recording.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] harosxcomp170:
I honestly use Call Recorder by Skvalex. It works great on AOSP and Touch-Wiz ROMs. It records from the actual line on both incoming and outgoing calls with great quality! Way better than from the microphone! You first have to install AlsaMixer also make by SK Alex. Link here > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.alsamixer . Make sure you download this first before the actuall call recording app! After you download this open it and it will ask you to install Alsa. Make sure you install this, if not it won't record from your line! Than download this > https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.skvalex.callrecorder. This is the actuall call recording app! Open it and under preferences make sure you set your device to Samsung Galaxy S3 (MSM8960) ! Than go under preferences>Advanced and make sure you change incoming calls from disabled to 0.0 or whatever you prefer. Last thing under preferences>experimental features make sure it says Alsa is installed then below that check on App Admin! After all this you will have probably the best call recording app that I have came across! Hope I helped!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bluskyline21:
I'm looking at the app and I don't see anywhere where you set your device or showing that Alsa is installed...?

edit: nevermind, it works anyway.

I've modified the SecPhone.apk and now it has the record button, however, it responsed nothing when I clicked it...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Biker1:
I'm attempting to change the folder for the recordings to be saved to my extSdCard, but I'm having an issue entering the name, as the number of characters I can enter are limited. And when I do enter a name with less characters, the recordings are not there in the folder.

Can the folder only be located in the internal memory, or is it just user error?

Wouldn't be the first time or the last :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sidthekid28:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Skvalex already has a button for that. Looks pretty much same as the old ICS button. And I believe it is movable. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Alfyne:
call recording

I haven't tried it out. But it seems to be baked into the Axix19 Rom, by Hero. Whenever I'm in a call, there's a "record" button available. BTW - the ROM is by far the best, most stable TW Rom I've tried yet that has multi-window (CleanRom gets my overall stability vote though).

Scratch that. Just tried it. It doesn't seem to work. Strange though. Button is there - clear as day.

Fair enough, don't rush into anything then. Read, read, read..... Plug your phone into your computer, click in the downloaded rom, drag it into your internal sd card (phone) or your external card (micro sd) reboot into custom recovery, wipe, then flash rom, then reboot

It might seem like a lot of reading and info at first but if you are interested in flashing roms it's worth it to avoid turning your device into a brick.

To respond to your op I use es file explorer to copy files from pc to device via lan shares.

Flash rooted stock firmware via oden on your pc. Install custom recovery (cwm I find works best for stock and asop or aokp over twrp) and make sure you do a backup (nandroid) and IMEI prior to flashing a Rom.

So I took the plunge and bought the TMOB version today.

I read somewhere that technically is identical to the at&t version and therefore its either the radio or I need to put in the correct APN.

Any thoughts anyone?

Update: I tried 2 APNs from my Note1 and in both cases when I select them it switches back to a cingular one that was there when I booted the phone up.
