[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulieknewport8838:
Okay so it took me a while to get my z902 to the point where i could begin messing around with system folders. I managed to do so by using Lubuntu and some other tools. I have several questions regaurding customizing the kernel image. In the end i would like to add support for sixaxis controllers via usb (hid-sony.ko) as well as modify the build.prop to get the device recognized as something with more apps in the app store. The last thing i want to accomplish is making the real sd card mount as read write as well as possibly giving the option to swap the internal sd card with usbhost0. my questions are...

1. since lubuntu runs independently from the android OS would i be able to modify the system files without the need to recompile and flash a recovery image..? I managed to make the nandd read write by reformatting the nandd and copying the files back to the partition. so in theory i should be able to add modules and instanciate them in init.rc.

2. I have modified the build.prop in attempts to open the play store by changing some things i changed on another device.(samsung galaxy tab 2 7 in.) The device is recognized as the Nexus S as i wanted in the about this device in settings. the play store opens and loads the initial first page. but as soon as i try to navigate anywhere within it stops workin and hangs. I believe that something in the build.prop is conficting the changes causing the play store to get confused and give up.

3. going back to question 1. I was wondering if anyone knows if extracting a custom rom image onto the nandd via lubuntu would be possible. as i know there are several roms out for the mk802 II (supposably identicle but i speculate a few diffences.) which have already exploited the ability to use ps3 controllers bluetooth dongles as well as usb ethernet adapters.

Im really looking forward to making this device into a gaming console as i have managed to get quite alot accomplished with it already before i got it read write. i found that quite a few games that would be thought to not run on this device actually do. using sideloaded apks i managed to install and run quite a few high end gameloft games as well as other open gl dependent games. some run better than others but i see alot of potential and wish to develope this device to better working order. any help with these problems would be greatly apreciated as im not a pro but def a fast learner.

I would also like to thank Rodrigolopezguerra for helping me figure out how to get this device to read write status. i ran into quite a few problems but In the end his guide helped me quite a bit.

ok I have a few dumb questions I have been running stock ics non rooted since aug-sept my question is actually 4 ? 1. what real advantage would it be to root this as I am getting good battery now I think the longest I had is 1d 6hrs and 3hrs 30min on screen time on 1 charge. and 2. should I root to put this on or just odin the actual stock leak. 3. does anyone know if rpm is worth using? and 4. which recovery is better on these phones twrp or cwm. thank you. btw iam on he modem. I don't mind the bloat as I have more than enough space on phone plus I have a 16gb card that still has 14 gigs left. BTW not new to flashing I've rooted all my phones except this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] josh995:
No dumb questions there. :) I got my phone in September too

1) Rooting and unlocking is about so much more than just battery life. It allows you to customize your phone in so many ways.

2) It's really up to you if you want to root. I rooted and unlocked and everything, but then I went back to stock unrooted because stock touchwiz on the Galaxy S3 is pretty amazing. I found myself saying "well this isn't much different than stock, and stock is more stable!" I odin'd to the latest jelly bean leak and it was pretty sweet, but it has it's share of buggy things. I found 3 'bugs' within the first hour. So I odin'd back to latest official release and decided I'm just going to wait for Verizon to release the official. It may be a while but I can live with it.

3) I don't know what rpm is, never used it.

4) I've read so many people saying they prefer cwm over twrp so I always went with cwm. But I don't have to worry about that anymore since I've decided to stay stock.

Hope I helped :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chupafaros:
I'm rooted and unlocked on stock Rom. I root mostly to keep my phone ad free and make backups of apps etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HoudiniJr:
There's many reasons to root, but its completely up to you, if you're happy with the stock look then go for it. To answer your questions

1. Rooting will allow you to do things such as flash different ROMs, backup apps and data, theme it n stuff like that. In reality there's really no advantage to rooting unless you are looking to do stuff like that. It'll just turn you into a crack flasher :D haha.

2. There's images out there that you can flash if you're rooted with something like CWM or do via ODIN. If done via CWM you will be rooted still after you flash it. But if done via ODIN through an untouched image, then it would be like getting an official update, so no root and completely stock.

3.rpm sometimes has shown to boost your battery life and sometimes wouldn't really see that much of a change. I always find it helps. Can't go wrong and typically , it does help evdn if just slightly.

4. And as for recovery programs, all up to you, they both work very well, but I like CWM. First one I used so I'm just used to it.

[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rancur3p1c:
Chdir or cd to the directory were you have installed the android toolkit. It is saying that because it can't find the adb command. In order for it to work from any directory you must add the folder location it is in to your path. You can Google for how to do this.

Also might need to type adb.exe when you do finally get to the correct folder.

Can't get OTA Jelly Bean to root

I just installed the OTA 4.1.1 on my Razr M and tried to root it using motofail2go. After I ran the program it rebooted and Superuser was installed. However, rootchecker says I'm not rooted and every root required app acts as if I'm not. Therefore I'm assuming the root didn't work. Is anyone else having this problem? What could I be doing wrong?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cinderblok:
Use RSD lite, find a fresh 4.0.4 ICS file, flash you're phone back to ICS. Then use motofail root method. Then download voodoo root saver app. Go into the voodoo app, save root. Then do the JB 4.1.1 update, go back to the voodoo app re-enable the saved root. And wallaa. Make sure safe strap is disabled before doing the OTA update or it will fail.

]+My phone fell off of my lap onto the ground. was probably a foot and a half that it fell. I think that it hit on the most unlucky spots. Touch screen stops working if the screen cracks.

Replacement should be here Tuesday. going to the sprint store tomorrow to get a otterbox case for it if they have one.
[LG Optimus G (International)] scmurphy13:
This. I'm terrified of this. I have yet to buy a case because I haven't been able to find one. I'm being so careful.
[LG Optimus G (International)] spacecasespiff:
And that's why I have a case.
[LG Optimus G (International)] riceatusc:
yeah the sprint version doesnt come out until tomorrow so I couldnt find a case yet. I will be buying one first thing though for my replacement device. I never dropped my last phone at all, but this thing is slick.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ncfastls1:
I was terrified this was going to happen to me the first day I got the phone. This thing is very slippery. Definitely will be investing in the Otterbox case as soon as it's available. Anyone know if it's the same price in stores as it is online?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Snow_fox:
For clarification sake, what did it fall on? Tile or concrete?
[LG Optimus G (International)] chacho_2me:
awww man...be very carefull next time.. this would be a lesson for us Optimus G USers.. :)
[LG Optimus G (International)] riceatusc:
It fell onto concrete.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Damn that sucks. Currently waiting for OtterBox to release the Commuter for this phone. Gonna pick up a cheapie to hold me over.
[LG Optimus G (International)] ncfastls1:
They are currently available at sprint stores. I bought the commuter for mine yesterday, and even got a 20 percent discount.

Edit: Whoops forgot I wasn't in the Sprint sub forum lol
[LG Optimus G (International)] necrodiety:
Mine has fallen twice onto tile and once onto concrete. Lucky the concrete fall landed on the bottom of the phone. What I'm noticing is that because the back is covered in glass, it slides VERY easily out of my pocket, off my lap, etc etc. Every time I go out, I check in with a store to see if there is a case. No go so far. I did find a bumper for it online. I am thinking about doing that and getting some protective screens for the front and back to go on first.
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Not available in South Korea yet. waiting patiently, though. Got a freebie-cheapie from the shop where I got my phone.
[LG Optimus G (International)] riceatusc:
well the sprint stores around here do not have any cases at all for this phone. so I'm ordering a tpu case from ebay.

also, I got an email from the insurance company saying that the phone is on back order. Sucks that I will be waiting and stuck with a Galaxy S until it gets here.
[LG Optimus G (International)] Shadoe_Lance:
Yup, but the sprint Otterbox won't fit the AT&T Optimus. I know. I tried. I can't understand why Otterbox would release it for sprint but not AT&T..
[LG Optimus G (International)] JasonJoel:
Because the sprint version is basically the same size as the international version... At&t is the odd sized one.

May never get an otterbox for it.

Jason
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Are they actually different physical dimensions? I find that hard to believe, and if true, an astounding error on LG's part. I understand there ae differences in hardware (camera, microSD, etc) but the chasis/ body should be exactly the same overall dimensions, no?
[LG Optimus G (International)] Shadoe_Lance:
Yup, the Sprint version corners are actually square and the width of the device is about an eith of an inch less. The AT&T version has rounded edges and wider of course so the case won't even go on correctly. Plus camera placement is a little different between the two. Holes don't match up.
[LG Optimus G (International)] theofficialpimp:
Actually the Sprint version's corners are rounder while att is square-er and wider

Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)
[LG Optimus G (International)] Shadoe_Lance:
Sorry, I meant edges are rounded and whole device is wider on the AT&T version. Not the corners. ADHD kicking in...
[LG Optimus G (International)] riceatusc:
Still waiting for my replacement. Hard to believe this phone is back ordered like this. I did go pick up an otterbox for when it arrives it can go straight into a case.

edit

Just got the tracking number. new phone will be here tomorrow!!! well later today
[LG Optimus G (International)] chevro1et:
Man, that OtterBox Commuter isn't even officially 'released' yet on the manufacturer's site, still 'coming soon'. Jealous, sir. Of the case, not of your plight.
[LG Optimus G (International)] stealth919:
On the 16th I went to my local sprint store, which is not so local at 35 miles away, but they had the'G's instock and the OtterBox Commuter case too. You'ld better believe it didn't even leave the counter without being bundled in it's new shell lol. And I must say this commuter case is the best/tightest fitting one they've made, have had them on 3 different phones now. Also has heavier duty rubber than on their other models of phones. You will not be dissapointed in the case at all. I had a bunch of buy backs including my Evo3D so walked out paying $169 for phone and case...went all in giving up my Evo so I hope this thing works great.
[LG Optimus G (International)] stealth919:
A CDMA version of the Nexus 4...I don't find it hard to believe. I'm just glad they had them instock when I drove 35 miles to check it out :fingers-crossed:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkierawr:
There are a good many users on these forums using 4Shared to host ROMs.

Which I understand. There aren't many file hosting sites that allow for the sizes of our ROMs.

However, 4Shared requires you to log in. And linking to a website that requires you to log in is prohibited.

So don't do it.

Here are two websites with 1GB+ upload caps to use for hosting ROMs.

JumboFiles

http://jumbofiles.com/

Billion Uploads

http://billionuploads.com/

Billion Uploads has a 2GB cap, while JumboFiles has a 1GB cap.

Both are supported by HEAVY ads. They are seldom with ad blockers. But that defeats the purpose, and if you have the brains, it shouldn't be a big deal.

-NOTE-

BillionUploads only allows 25GB traffic a day. 30 downloads at 820MB will shut it down.

JumboFIles will delete your stuff after 30 days if you do not log in during that time. Log in once a month and your stuff should remain uploaded.

Given the cap on traffic, I recommend JumboFiles for what we are doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] darkierawr:
Oh yeah.

I forgot,

I have unlimited hosting. No caps, no limits, no throttling.

I am more than happy to host for anyone that sends me a PM.

All you have to do is send it to me. I will even accept 4Shared ;)

And for developers, I can even set up FTP for you.

I want to use Google voice as my default voice mail service. How can I get this properly configured on my note II?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] r80ies:
When you first run through the set up you have to select "skip" this allows you to keep your GV number and not use your Sprint number. Once you do that you can follow the onscreen steps, but when you get the configure part you should select the *28 dialer link on the top of the screen. This forwards incoming calls to your GV number. After that it should be set, call yourself and test or use another phone. Hope this helps.

Hello,

I was hoping someone could help me.

I am wanting to update my phone because it is still 2.1. The only problem is it's rooted.

I did not root it, but whoever did it completely changed the rom. I talked to the guy at the phone store today and he said the only way I can update it is if I reinstall the original rom. I do not know where to get a good version of the stock rom. So help would be appreciated.

Thank you! :)

1. It appears that the both the Galaxy S3 and the Note 2 suffer from the same annoyance regarding moving certain files to the SD card. (e.g. large game data).

I found the following link referencing App2ExtSD2 which will swap the memory card capacity with the internal storage, which will (in my case at least, swap the internal 16GB for my class10 MicroSD 32GB). Anyone try this yet or know if it should work in theory? I am rooted.

I'm on a REALLY tight budget, and I've found this:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aluminum-Bu...VG/ref=sr_1_67?ie=UTF8&qid=1352551327&sr=8-67

Has somebody tried it before? Do the cover-buttons have a good response (is much more force needed to make them "click")? Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] alt0160:
while it might provide a unique look to your phone, i'm not sure how much 'protection' a metal bumper will give.

once that aluminum meets concrete, it'll scratch/dent and it wont look as pretty.

I had an Element Case Vapor AR15-V when it was released for the iP4. I loved the look but it killed my reception..

I don't think/know if the S3 would fall victim to such an issue..
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Myscha:
The aesthetic side of it is of no importance for me. On the reception issue, it was reportedly due to the antenna being linked to a section of the metal frame the iPhones had, so no problem here regarding the S3 i pressume.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jorgerangel159:
I have one in blue, it works good but is lose just like that so I put pieces of tape to make it tight on the phone n also helps it not scratch the bezel .. all the buttons are accessible with no problems
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Myscha:
I suppose you recommend it?

Edit: I've seen these (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Urban-Armor...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1352595740&sr=1-3) around, and although they seem quite nice, they surpass my budget right now. Any cheaper version of sorts? I think composite could do the trick just as fine.

Does anybody know something similar to the Urban Armor Gear (cheaper and less fancy) that could be of use?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mputtr:
i've always wondered if those slide on thing in the front actually stays on properly or not... I kinda prefer to have the screw on type... i think it's kinda cool.. the only thing I worry about is I don't know if the camera lens would get scratched when i place it on the back.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jorgerangel159:
The sliding one I'd on there to good lol sometimes I can't even take it off and regarding that it might scratch the screen I haven't had that problem but then again I only use this case one the weekend
