Can't answer your will it keep root, I've read many things also.

installing a new rom is just how it used to be on the MT4G, boot into Recovery, and just wipe data, system, cache, and then flash from sdcard.

do this as soon as possible if you are going to start flashing and test roms out. IT backs up your IMEI it happens at complete random, not very common but enough to be cautious. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801997

That's about it.

Thank you for the reply

So I can lose my imei if I flash a rom or just rooting in genral cause im not near a comp till tomorrow :-/ to back up,I still got stock rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
You can lose imei by just flashing the recovery I've read I believe. Its simple to back up and restore at least. And ya by computer only best to wait if you can handle it haha.

Hello all,

I get all my magazines (and most of my books, technical at least) digitally.

How well does Zinio, Kindle, and Moon readers work on the 10.1? Does it screen geometry work well with pages and pdfs?

Thanks,

That would be a very subjective opinion. IMO the GNote10 works extremely well as a reader but I don't tend to try and read specialized formats. When you find out be sure to let us know.

I use Repligo reader for my PDF's, ezPDF too. I like to use Coolreader for my epub, txt documents and use Polaris to read word docs... I know its a few apps but different apps give different options... I know Moon+ also gives you the option to read out the books too, got that there too as well as Ireader... Haven't really tried other formats but I love the (almost) A4 size screen... Better than my 7" galaxy tab...

i have been using CM10 rom with siyah kernel & the battery lasts for about 6-8 hours on average use which is terrible... stock rom was just as bad, i have recently bought a 3450mah battery for my s3 which seems to add a few more hours...but not enough..

i used to have an iphone 4 which had great battery life lasted along time & could still go on nights out & it would still have around 20% percent left & never drained on standby.

this is my first android phone and i am happy with the the android os & the community but samsung sure have some bad design quality. hate touchwiz & the battery life right now (off topic poor speaker volume & location too)

my question is does anyone have a rom & kernel which gives great battery life?

please let me know
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Password1234:
There's quite a couple of ROMs here that can give you decent battery life and great battery life. I'm currently running resurrection remix ROM which is amazing, still testing battery life but from what I've read in the threads it's quite good for an AOKP/CM10 ROM. Another good CM10 based ROM is the psycho ROM by team custom freaks. I had that too which had very good battery (on standby it lost 0% over 7hours) which is awesome

Is there any way to re enable it?

I have searched for a solution to this on Google, and on each GN2 forum here on XDA with no luck.
[General Questions and Answers] Headylinton:
I recently have been flopping back and forth between the Galaxy note 10.1 and the Asus transformer infinity. this is because i want the keyboard, hdmi, screen res, camera, storage, and usb ports of the Infinity with the wacom stylus and RAM of the Note. I have tested both and bought and returned both, I can't make a decision. Then a Mini miracle happened and in walks the Asus Vivo RT, it's eveything i want out of a tablet except it's windows based. My question is do you think that there will be a way to change the Windows RT OS over to Android and still have the wacom Digitizer work like the note 10.1 since its basically still and infinity? My best option right now seems to be to buy the Vivo and play with windows for a while until this option happens. But will it work and do you think developers will pick up this project?
[General Questions and Answers] dawmail333:
This would make me a VERY happy man, because I'm getting one of these devices for free.

Problem is, all Windows 8 RT devices MUST have a locked UEFI, which means the developers here would have to break the secure UEFI mode, which was built by real experts.

"System firmware: UEFI. All Windows RT devices must have secure boot enabled, and cannot be disabled." ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_RT#Hardware_requirements - I don't have link privileges yet )

So I hope someone proves me wrong, but I don't think it's going to happen. (At least soon)

Same question

I was asking myself the same question. Everyone talking about this in different threads mention prop editors like ROM Toolbox Pro, so maybe you need to use one of them.

Yeah text is text but you know, nobody ever wrote "Just edit the file with any text editor.."

Is that because Android is Linux / Unix based and editing the file with a text editor could put ^M at the end of each line causing some weird bugs?

Ventrilo for JB not working?

Just wanted to jump in and mention that I am having issues too. Samsung SII, cm10. When I start ventriloid is initially says connecting, but then very often goes back to mobile's home screen. It then leaves a notification bar entry saying that it is connected. When you click on that, it does its two vibrates and goes off entirely. Sometimes I can get it going again, but is very fiddly. Dont know if this helps. Hope so.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jtxdriggers:
Hey LondonLad, thanks for the report.

Are you using the Play Store version of the app or the Alpha on my Google Code?
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LondonLad:
Playstore version.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jtxdriggers:
Go try out the Alpha at ventriloid.googlecode.com in the downloads section and let me know how it works for you. I apologize for any lack of features in that version but it's a huge work in progress.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] LondonLad:
Have downloaded and it seems to work well. (Did loose the Ventriloid icon though!) One comment: One must tick the box Enable Global Push to Talk in order to see key. That is fine, but it does cover up part of you keyboard if you, for example, need to type in a password for a channel. Not a problem, but thought I would at least mention it.).:good:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jtxdriggers:
I'm glad it's working for you :) I'm working on a complete UI overhaul and that global push to talk was more or less a proof of concept for being able to talk outside of the app. Android has limitations for hardware key interception that won't allow push to talk while the app is in the background, so hopefully people will enjoy this new button. It will eventually be a bar with other options that can be hidden. Thanks so much for testing, I'm glad the ICS/JB fix is working.

My recent button's light went out less than a month after getting it (day it was released). Have no idea what caused it but it looks weird with only two of three buttons lighting up. Up until recently, it would occasionally start working but that hasn't happened for awhile now. I could've sent it in under the 30 day warranty but I had already spent so much effort rooting / etc that it wasn't that big a deal to me. I've recently started using the onscreen nav buttons instead. Didn't like them at first but after using them a while and turning the others off, I just don't understand why htc decided to have them. Wish I could completely hide them (not just turn them off).
