[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Unknownforce:
Took a shot in the dark here, and it worked.

If anyone else is having this problem, here's what I did to fix it...

Backup Apps (Other than Settings)

Wipe Data/System

Install ICS (I'm on FreeGS3 so I just used an older version... 0.2.0 in this case)

Enable Auto Haptic

Install Spotify (I just restored it from the backup), verify the vibrate is on

Go into Auto Haptic, put a check in Spotify

Then back out and go back in, remove the check

Then back out and disable Auto Haptic

Verify the vibration is gone

Reboot to Recovery

Wipe Dalvik/Cache

Update to JB without wiping Data.

Restore Apps

Re-setup all settings

Drink Beer

I typically backup my settings as well, but this time I decided to go without it so that it wouldn't somehow re-enable it in the background.

Just an FYI if people have the same problem here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] studentjunk:
Thanks for the question and info on the fix. I was able to duplicate the fix with my nandroid backup. I know there is a new elegant way to do this by manually editing the system. I'll do some homework and post back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] studentjunk:
I reviewed portions of the secsettings.apk, and saw that much of the script for autohaptic was intact. Comparing files beween ics and jb made it clear that the removal of the autohaptic settings was a mistake.. I did another google search, and found that a recent widget was created to address the issue. The widget is a temporary fix to globally enable or disable autohaptic until they can fix the issue.

Hello,

I'm using the SD version of American Android and I'm very satisfyed with it, but i would like to try this ROM in NativeSD as it seems to bee much faster. Has anybody try to port this ROM to NativeSD?

@Robbie P, regarding your comment in the thread [30 OCT 2012][DEV]NativeSD Rom Boot Script for HD2:

"Even using c1cl0n's excellent guide ( http://xdaforums.com/show...0#post31925620 ), that build is tricky to convert since it uses rootfs.img

Also AFAIK any 35 kernels won't work with haret. And they won't work with nativeSD+magldr either, unless you use marco.palumbi/securecrt method to edit the NAND version of initrd.gz (could use HypoTurtle's patcher here http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1953428 )

Interestingly I noticed a script in aca rom which added a delay to wait for card to mount."

(sorry I can't post in that thread - still less than 10 posts)

Should we understand that the ACA nativeSD will not work with haret? It has a 35 kernel...

I don't want to quit WM 6.5 from nand...

Hi aotillia, well spotted;) and sorry for not keeping you and zyclone up to date.

With wis1152's help I have managed to port the last ACA nand build to nativeSD. However as you pointed out aca kernel does not work with haret (it works with magldr). But tytung's r16 works well for haret (haven't tried dx7.3 yet, but should work)

It seems that more people are asking for a NativeSD build in the SD thread. Let´s hope that this will convince the ACA team to permit Robbie P to realese the nSD version, or to release themsealves a nSD version (although i think that warrenb has to change his kernel to make it compatible). Untill that happen, I will use the perfect clasic SD version. Thanks ACA!

Hello Everyone.

I am on scv7 2nd leak 09/21/2012.

I want to go back to OTA ICS 4.0.4. I have downloaded the file from the Firmware Super thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1934874

File name :

randing: Retail Asia

Version: 6.7.2_EDEM-18-SEARET FULL

Android Version: 4.0.4

Bootloader Version: N/A

Webtop version: WT-3.0.0

Requires RSD Lite 6.0

Requires Moto Android (De)packer 1.4 to edit.

Can some one please tell me the step by step procedure ? Can I flash the file by Atrix Bootstap ? will it brick my phone or create any complications ?

Please help me out.. I will be really thankful !
[Motorola Atrix 2] sazhagianambi:
What you downloaded is FXZ, so you can't simply flash them like ROM.

Please start to read this thread and look for a section called "HOW to FXZ". The guide is been written for 2.3.5/2.3.6 but for ICS you just need to replace the fxz file with what you downloaded.

Its been pretty much explained in that guide, read it few times you should be fine. Still if you feel as you need detailed help, wait and may be some one help out here. Or probably you could ask the same question in NOOB Q&A thread. Its been while I am done that, so I couldn;t have step in top of my head to list out.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickut123:
Hi everyone.

I'm getting the Nexus 4 launch day, but I don't have Tmobile nor do I know how it even works.. I'm looking to do a sim only plan since I will buy the phone from the play store.

So my question is.. Are the plans monthly? or long term? If so, what's the cheapest plan with data and unlimited texting? I don't need a lot of minutes. I've looked at the Tmobile site, but to be honest its kind of confusing..

also would it be worth it to upgrade to nationwide 4g? I'm currently at UCF so if anyone knows that would be awesome!

Thank you in advance!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jarjar124:
its monthly with $30 per month with unlimited web/data(capped at 5gb)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xxquicksh0txx:
One of their Monthly 4G plan for $30 (they have two plans for $30) comes with "Unlimited" Data 5Gb 4G, rest is miserably slow. unlimited texting and 100 minutes. I use it, If you don't use minutes that often it's great. I've only went over my 5Gb once, so unless you stream HD videos you should be fine. I listen to slacker almost everyday while i'm at work and have yet to go over.

It's only available if you order the Sim online and activate it on their website, or go to Wal-Mart.

As for the Sim-only plans, the Value Plans, I'm pretty sure they're contract plans. They don't advertise them as being pre-paid.

You just get a cheaper plan because you're not paying an extra $10 a month for getting a $400 for free or whatver.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr2324jgf:
this is my approach, just left verizon. I have the sim card waiting at home already, will go get a micro-sim on nov 13th, order the phone, wait and win. I utilize google voice, so voice/messaging doesn't matter to me and 5gb will not be "enough" but it'll be ok for the $30 a month
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chickut123:
Does this include the "4g", and where do you see this deal? I've looked through the Tmobile plans and I haven't seen that one.

Backup phone before root

Hello all this is my first post here...woohoo!:fingers-crossed: This forum is amazing as to the amount of information available. I just wish that in looking for what I need to do I did not need to look in so many places. I feel that if I want to root my T-Mobile GS3 that all the information should be in one subsection of the forum, but it is not that simple I guess....lol Anyway any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have a Samsung GS3 with T-Mobile that I want to root. Everyone says to back up the phone before you do it but I am not really seeing how to make a backup before I start. It appears that most of the guides to root just say to backup without telling you how to fo it. Another thing (correct me if I am wrong) I see the nandroid backup that I think is a backup of the phone however it seems to be done after you make changes to the phone and I thought the backup was supposed to be done before you do anything. Is it that there is not a way to make a complete backup with an unrooted phone?

My question is basically the same as the OP here. I have been reading and reading and reading posts here in the forum. There is much information here and much of it is duplicated with slight variances in some of the duplicates. I am not certain as to which rooting method I should use. There seem to be so many choices. As a new person to this forum I will say that you can find just about everything about any phone which is awesome. The hard thing is sifting through the many options to pick one to use for your issue.

I do see that Mr. Robinson has a thread with backups of the original roms. The only thing is that they are default roms that are like an out of the box phone and not my phone with my apps and my settings. That is what I want to backup...My phone with my settings and my apps.

:good: Thank you in advance for any one that can shed some light on this for me and the OP'er
[General Questions and Answers] midnite_:
Hi ya,

It's so nice that you are having the same concern as I do.

As far as i know, the approaches of rooting differ from phones to phones. So we may have to find our own specific rooting method in the phone model sub-forums. It won't be hard for your popular S3 ;)

I would like to have a look at that Mr. Robinson's thread. If he can backup the stock ROM, those app+app_data wont a big issue (i guess).

cheers,

[General Questions and Answers] wildstang83:
Hi midnight, welcome to a new and exciting world of Android and trying new things. First, let me assure you, what you want is NOT something new. People have been doing this type of thing for years. That is flashing and testing roms. As you will learn, it actually becomes quite addictive. We call those folks that get addicted to flashing: Flashaholics or crackflashers, lol

First let me talk about "root". This process consists of unlocking a lower level of the Android system known as the bootloader. Unlocking the bootloader of your device allows you to flash a custom recovery, flashing a custom recovery allows you to flash the Superuser binary and Superuser.apk, This is what allows you to use apps that require "root". The bootloader is not an OS file. So when you are unlocking your bootloader you are not modifying your stock rom. Only when you have flashed the Superuser package have you modified your stock rom. And even that isn't really modifying anything. When you flash the Superuser package, it adds two files to your rom at certain locations of the file system. It adds the Superuser.apk file to system/app and it adds the SU binary to system/bin. Basically you CAN have a totally S-OFF (unlocked) bootloader and still have an entirely stock rom if you want. But the real benifit is flashing a custom recovery like ClockworkMod Recovery and then flash the superuser package.

As far as extracting the stock system, you should try giving adb a go. Do it right now if you like. Ensure you have the android sdk installed and properly set up on your computer and your computer can recognize your phone. Ensure your phone is in debugging mode, connect your phone to your computer, open up a command window, and run this command:

adb pull \

This command will pull everything off your phone except for data which is where your market or Google Play apps are stored.

Beyond XDA there are aso more resources to learn from. For example, http://www.android.com is a good place to start, and to learn more about adb check out http://developer.android.com/tools/help/adb.html

If you need to learn how to setup the sdk here is the place to learn how: http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html

I'm sure others will add to this as well which is the good thing about this community.

Welcome to XDA, I hope you have fun learning, and maybe share back someday things you learn along the way.
[General Questions and Answers] midnite_:
Hi Wildstang,

Thanks very much for your warm welcome and very informative reply. So are you a Flashaholics or Crackflashers yet? :p

As I am a newbie, please forgive me if I am asking dumb questions.

As far as I understand,

The steps of root is

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Flash Superuser binary & Superuser.apk

** does "flash a custom recovery" means "flash Superuser binary & Superuser.apk"?

"Flash Superuser binary & Superuser.apk" is just "add SU binary to system/bin" and "add Superuser.apk to system/app". Then why not just copy them into place?

I just found on the web that "flashing" means replacing the OS of the phone with a new ROM. Would that still keeping the stock ROM?

To have a backup of the original stock ROM, can I

1. Unlock the bootloader

2. Flash Superuser binary & Superuser.apk

3. Perform the backup

And later, after I have flashed a new ROM, or whatever I do, as long as I didn't brick it, when I want to rollback my phone to its original, I can

1. Restore the backup

2. Delete "SU binary in system/bin" and "Superuser.apk in system/app"

3. re-lock the bootloader

Is this correct?

I don't mean to challenge you. But does adb pull \ really backup the system, or just all the files?

Thanks very much again!

[General Questions and Answers] wildstang83:
You must unlock your bootloader then flash a custom recovery. You will then use that custom recovery to make a backup of your rom. That backup will be stored on your sd card.

Now, I have tried to help you and so have a couple other folks. You expect us to just give you answers step by step. I am sorry but this is simply not how XDA works. XDA is set up in a way which makes it for any users to find quickly what they want to know. Use the search feature on the site and you will find many answers. I tell you to go do your own research now and be proud of what you learn on your own. And if you cannot, please do not try to modify your phone further, you may just brick it if you aren't careful.
