I've seen people talking about how they switch from one rom to another like 3 times a day and i was wondering how they would do that if there was another way than having to go through the flashing steps. Can you strait up pick a former recovery and boot into that? If so, can you have multiple roms as recovery so you can like switch between them with just a click of the power button? I apologize if this comes off as a noob question.
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
As long as they use the same boot.IMG like going from aokp to CDMA build 118 but u need to flash diff image if going from aokp to sense. I've had problems going from jb to ics ROM recoverys .

[HTC One V] JalmiNyondong1933:
I switch among custom ROM like 3-4 times a day. I can easily do that because PA, CM10, AOKP, MIUI JB has the same base (CM10) so I don't need to flash different kernel in fastboot which requires a pc to do that. therefore I can simply flash/restore them in recovery. So it is possible to change different custom ROM in one day if as long as they have the same boot.img.

PS: that was just based on my experience.

Which data's do i need to clear if i were to go from one rom to another (but on the same boot.img)?
[HTC One V] paarthdesai:
all thing u need to clear

best way is to keep an nandroid backup of all roms running on same boot. img with data

so there is no data loss also ;)

[HTC One V] served24:
so does that mean that we need to clear data or no?

1st clear all data

then restore nandroid ;)

Hi,

Last week I was on a trip in Italy. My Galaxy S3 noticed, that there is an update to JB. Update was running fine, but after that, the browser uses "google.it" as default search engine.

Does somesone know the config file for setting the search engine and could this edited without rooting - maybe by using sdk?

Hello all,

Sorry for this daft question, but haven't been on here for months. Just wanted to know the best or most common used ICS rom you guys are using on your Desire S as I'm well behind.

I have a UK phone and was unlocked using htc dev. I only want to upgrade if all features work. Any reccomendations ?

cheers

Used it about few month, all was fine.

Now using Jelly. Not so stable and some functions didnt work correctly, but its faster:)

[HTC Desire S] cnkapadia:
well to be honest custom roms arent for everyone, i know its tempting to want to flash a custom rom and see if things are better, but if u r happy with sense then i suggest just use the ruu from htcdev.com to get the official ics update. i have been using it since a couple of weeks and havent had any issues with it other than whatsapp hanging when u try to open link received through whatsapp. other than that its been smotth sailing, better than gingerbread and sense 3

i have used the miui ics rom and didnt like it much other than that i have tried the cyanogenmod 7.2 for desire s but my personal opinion is that custom roms are not always the most stable and if u r not into heavy customization then i would suggest just skip flashing a custom rom and stick with original htc rom.

Is it safe to delete the Temporary Windows Installation Files with Disk Cleaner or is it best to save them as they are taking up 4.72GB of HDD space?

Roland
[Windows 8 General] dazza9075:
yup, delete away
[Windows 8 General] Rolandh:
Thank's. I used to delete them when I went from '98SE - Me, Me - XP & XP to Vista but Since Windows 7 I've never run Disk Cleanup as I've done clean Installs so never come across them & didn't want to screw anything up by deleting without finding out that it's safe.

That's an extra 4.72GB of HDD space I know is safe to reclaim.

No network , no IMEI.. BASEBAND NEEDED LG su760

HI Guys

My Rom is ICS,

I have been struggling for the past 5 days to resolve this issue on my O3D.

Im new to flashing Roms and basebands so please bear with me.

The phone just stopped reading my sim card and no network. I took it into an LG shop they advised that i upgrade from Gingerbread to ICS, so i used the LG support tool to update to 4.0.4

After this it reads my sim card, but no Network, No IMEI.

Tried 3 different sim cards to no avail.

I called LG and they said i need to update from the country i received the phone from. I dont know which country the device comes from as i got it as a gift.

What i noticed is that while flashing all these diff roms the baseband stays the same: XMM6260

KERNEL: 3.0.21

I am in Mongolia and not sure what baseband to use or how to flash just the baseband.

Any help would be highly appreciated please, im getting desperate!LG says i need to get the IMEI showing to fix the issue.

Somebody updload v30b_00.kdz file

Please help..

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyvelTjuven:
It's not really a bug or anything like that, it's just that I don't like having the app that I'm currently using in the recent apps list because I tend to close it down without really thinking (guess I'm used to stock)...

Is there any way to disable this feature?

Edit: I'm using paranoid Android but seeing as that is based off of CM10 I'm guessing the problem lies there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
It's a bug i think, when you press recent apps too fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyvelTjuven:
No, it's always there...

I'm guessing it's a feature.

It is not a feature, my active app is never in the recent apps list.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyvelTjuven:

So no one else had exprienced this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:

You could do a nandroid and try factory resetting and see if the problem still persists.

If it's still there then restore your backup, nothing to lose except for a little time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HyvelTjuven:
Oh, right, nandroid, I didnt think of that, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CMNein:
Mine's the same (PA 2.51), I can't recall if this was the case on CM10.

Purely speculation, but it might be so you can access the Hybrid Properties (long press the app in recents) of the active app so you can make changes on the fly (?).

[Nexus 7 General] luminoth:
Hey guys just sharing something I use when playing games on my nexus.

Some games (most Gameloft game) do a license check at the start. If you do not have data you cannot play. Simply find an app that has the option to disable app permissions.

Find the game you'd like to play offline and look at the permissions and find billing service or verification check. Disable them. You can try disabling more if you feel confident, but if something is not working, just go back and fix the permission you changed.

Good luck and I hope this helps some people.
[Nexus 7 General] Kearkan:
Is there an app you can recommend?
[Nexus 7 General] luminoth:
I use romtool box pro by jrummy (great swiss army knife app)

You'll the option in auto start manager.

Or just search permission denied in the play store. :)

[Nexus 7 General] Droidlover123:
Also there is a app called "app shield".it used to remove permission from app (no root required)by editing its manifest.

It was available on play store but it has been removed now you can find it on net and sideload.

But its my experience that simply removing licence permission doesn't works.
[Nexus 7 General] luminoth:
I just did some playing around and found out that for this to work you have to at least run this game once with data connected.

I also blocked all permissions for wild blood and it still runs fine. I don't know about other games though.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Idk what you're asking but you should use "Airdroid" in the Play Store for wireless file transfers from computer to GSIII.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
To anyone who doesn't know:

The GS3 doesn't communicate with a Mac out of the box (And it is a royal pain in the a). You need a special program from Google called Android File Transfer.

To the OP: no, there's no fix, at least that I know of, and trust me I've looked... And it sucks. Everyone always suggests these programs from the play store, but they all SUCK!!

Android File Transfer was amazing, when it worked. All we can really hope for is a fix from either Google or Samsung to make it work again.

Samsung has a program called kies, which still sucks but is OK for syncing music...

Personally I've resorted to boot camp. Whenever I need to sync something I just boot up windows on my Mac.

google samsung sg3 easy ums fix, you will be able to mount external sd card easily not internal , it will look like another drive. works with my mid 2011 macbook air with snow mountain lion.

as for the internal portion , your only choice is airdroid. it does every thing, delete , upload , etc... airdroid does nto require active tethering, passive is just fine. I personally use airdroid a lot.

P.s. root required for ums fix ( like every android phone , without root , the phone is as useless as an iphone )

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
I thought about selling mine, I bought an iPhone 5 because of the fact that the GS3 sucks with a Mac, but I decided that there are things I like about the GS3 & Android so I just have both phones. I have 2 lines so why not.

iPhone is not useless either, as a previous poster mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericerk:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
See but the bad thing is...is the new nexus going to play well with Mac?

Idk if the new nexus is going to have the same storage system as the GS3. I'm not too techy with the internals so not sure how it all works...

And don't forget...a jail broken iPhone is just as amazing as a rooted Android. I personally love both, it's a curse cause I always want the newest iPhone & greatest Android phone... every year........haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Polymira:
What is wrong with Android File Transfer? I don't think I've updated it since I had my Galaxy Nexus early this year, but I've been using it since I picked up my GS3 a week ago and it works just fine for both internal storage and the SD card...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
It used to work for me. Then I OTA'd and bam.

What rom are you on? The vralg7 (or whatever it was called)(4.0.4?) OTA made Android File Transfer not work with GS3 anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macdroid01:
yeah all these f'ing OTA updates did for me was make my phone black screen of death CRASH all the time requiring battery pull, break Android File Transfer to my Mac, and make my phone run hotter. Which is probably because of that stupid Verizon remote "assistance" crap bloat they put in so they can probably record everything we are doing.

Verizon screws everything up. Wish another carrier had as good of LTE. I am probably going to exchange this for Note II because of these problems. I expect VZ to pay for it or most of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Unless Google goes back on their work, the MTP standard will continue. I see it as unlikely for connectivity to Macs to improve for ICS+ phones until Google provides a better tool.

[Asus Transformer TF700] glenner05:
I have a strange problem. A while ago I successfully unlocked my infinity. That was before the jb update. I also successfully flashed custom recoveries and several roms. Didn't ran into any problems. When the official jb update came out, I restored original recovery and flashed a stock ics Rom, and after that successfully applied the jb update. The second update .30 also went smooth. I used the update file from Asus servers. Now I want to flash a custom recovery again in order to flash cleanrom. In adb I see my device and I can reboot with fastboot and stuff. So I think my drivers are ok. However as soon as I start to flash recovery.img it just says sending recovery and that's it. It just hangs there. Nothing happens. I tried everything, from changing usb ports and uninstalling drivers... It just can't send the recovery img. I use Scott's script to flash the recovery.blob. any ideas?
[Asus Transformer TF700] hillyard:
might try the GOOManager in the play store
[Asus Transformer TF700] glenner05:
I can't use it because it needs root, and as long as I don't have a custom recovery I'm unable to root my stock jellybean Rom. Or is there already another way to root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thibor69:
Are you saying you can not get TWRP or CWM installed ? or are you saying you do have one installed but no root ?

If it is the latter then can't you just flash a custom rom that has root built in ( like Baked ) then go back to twrp and now with root you can wipe and flash stock. ? I am sorry if I am miss understanding your question. But at least you get a free 'bump' :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
He said he has no root (why he couldn't use Goomanger) and he can't flash recovery.
[Asus Transformer TF700] glenner05:
Thats correct, i am trying to get custom recovery, after that root is no problem.

Edit: i just installed a clean windows 8 installation. So no old drivers left behind or other weird stuff. I put my transformer in fastboot mode, driver is automatically installed, i see it under device manager. Stillno luck.... it hangs saying sending recovery.... no error messages. My previous attempt was under win7.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Glenner, did you make sure you have the img file in the same folder as you fastboot/adb command files?
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
If it says "sending recovery", I'd assume that it found the local file.

I don't use Windows, but I always read about driver issues in Windows. Maybe the auto-installed driver is wrong? Does "fastboot devices" return question marks or nothing?
[Asus Transformer TF700] glenner05:
i'm happy to report that finally it worked! seemed something strange with drivers/USB ports after all. Despite i already changed USB ports under my win 7 installation, i tried it again under win8, and suddenly it worked. I didn't reinstall the drivers or something, all went automatically. So the strange issues are driver issues for sure. Anyway, currently happy running cleanrom 2.3 :)

You can use Check Fus Downloader (=> http://fus.nanzen.se/) to find the latest officially released firmware for your phone in your region/country and donwload it directly from Samsung servers.

Then extract the downloaded zip file and put the tar/md5 file into PDA section of Odin and flash it to your phone.

Good luck !

P.S.:

If everything goes fine, Kies and OTA updater will recognize your phone again.
