Thanks heaps for that, Just to verify the right procedure I flash the boot.img using fastboot, then put the nandroid backup file into the sdcard in clockworkmod/backup directory of the phone and run restore from recovery. is this the correct way if not can you please explain what to do as I am new to HTC mainly been using Samsung S3.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Yes that's correct ! Don't forget to do a full wipe in the recovery including the dalvik cache !!! :thumbup:

And this is the stock recovery you need to flash back at the end

I came across this through the paper clip stand link someone posted on here. How cool is this: http://www.gogostand.com/#order Just ordered one and will find out.

Then search it on Amazon, where it is about half price. It's dinky, but I like the minimalist design, almost as much as the bent paper clip.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] mvarner14:
I am new to this and i have successfully rooted and unlocked my phone because i waned to put it on straight talk...and after all that i found out all i had to do was download and app and change the network settings. The phone can make calls and text however i dont have data. There is nonthing listed in my apn settings. Straight talk gave me the information that im suppose to enter in the setting but ice cream sandwhich doesnt allow you to change apn. So my question is what can i do? Could i change the rom to one that would allow me to alter the apn? I was told i would have to downgrade systems...that ICS and up. Would not allow changes to apn.

P.s. could you post links to how to install rom and what rom would allow apn access.

Im trying to research but havent really found a direct answer to my questiion.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
I was wondering (like many did before me, it seems) why the hell I needed to unlock my phone to change profiles by NFC, when it's way more convenient to simply touch my trouser pocket with the NFC token I have in my car to toggle +bluetooth/+data/-wifi, or simply leave the phone over the NFC sticker on my desk I when I arrive at work to do the opposite (-bluetooth/-data/+wifi).

I searched gerrit in case anyone was working on it and saw this:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/21785/

so we won't see it in CM, it seems :(

Now, what's the worse thing that could happen if NFC is enabled at all times? When I swipe an unknown NFC tag the phone does nothing (besides telling me).

I decided to compile my own CM10 KANGs from now on with a patched NfcService.java (running great right now), but I'd like to know of any vulnerability I might have overlooked.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Someone steals your phone and drains the cards using Google Wallet?

Just a guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
If someone steals my phone they will be able to unlock it and use google wallet anyway if I set my profile lock screen to "unsecure", which would be no different than setting NFC to "always".
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] altimax98:
Google wallet wouldn't be an issue since it requires a Pin number to unlock it to use it. I would worry more about battery drain and rouge apps. Someone could in theory bump upload an app and run it. Other then that I don't know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
Pretty sure the dude trying to NFC harmful stuff to your phone will have to dry hump you first to get close enough
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marisa:
Proximity is somewhat an issue, however there are some places where such activity might go completely unnoticed (packed subway or train as examples.)

Also, if NFC being always on becomes a "normal" thing, or at least expected on some level, it won't take long for better methods of exploiting it to be developed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Schiehallion:
Irotsoma made a mod for NFC screen off/locked, it's further down on this board if anyone wants it

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zequav:
So no real danger if you're not paranoid, then. Good to know. A pity we won't have it in CM; I don't see any problem if it's off by default and there is a warning when you enable it.

I usually don't trust random_guy's apks. I'd rather compile it myself. The patch is simple:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squidder:
Some dudes have already used NFC to gain access to a locked gs3 and and upload a trojan automatically and then they have full control of the phone and can have u call premium numbers or whatever the hell they want. So yes there is danger just not likely ATM but in a couple years who knows. When Trojans first came to PCs u didn't really have to worry about it but now u have skids running rampant and I wouldn't be surprised if that happened to android.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
In a controlled environment. Maybe if your live in New York and frequent the subways and stuff (ie: environments where people get packed together) you have a slight chance of it happening. If you are in those situations, turn NFC off. Otherwise, NFC has a working range of a couple cm's, so in all other cases the guy trying to trojan you will have to get so close that you'll be wondering what the hell he's trying to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Marisa:
Hypothetically, someone could stick some NFC tags in places that people are likely to brush up against or set a purse nearby. Sure the tags aren't free but it would only take one hit to make that back.

Yeah it's still kind of a paranoia thing, and extremely unlikely unless NFC on while locked becomes commonplace. If someone thinks they can make a buck doing it, it will be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squidder:
You say that because we are on this topic but the truth is if a guy "accidentally" bumps into u somewhere the last thing u think is he is trying to trojan u. U would prolly let it go and say learn to walk or something similar under ur breath. And then ud be "pwned" by some stupid 1337 skid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] speedyink:
I didn't think of that, that's a good point

True, I just wouldn't live in fear of it since the chances are really low. I always leave my NFC off unless I need it anyways, so its a non issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] squidder:
And I agree completely, just wondering in a few years how much more stuff like this will increase.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LoveNFC:
Show us the link to this. You're either bull****ting or remembering incorrectly. When a stock GS3 is locked, NFC is off; this would not be possible whatsoever.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrgnRebrn:
I've been looking for a docking station for my S3. I'd like it to have FM built in, a remote control, & decent sound. I've been unable to find anything on Amazon that states it's compatible with the S3, only generic "Android" stations.

Anyone out there have any direct experience, suggestions, or resources I can turn to? Doesn't seem that there are any choices at all.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrgnRebrn:

[Galaxy S III Accessories] popstikaz:
bumpppp

ive been looking for a nice dock as well
[Galaxy S III Accessories] troycarpenter:
For a device as ubiquitous as the SG3, I'm actually surprised at the dearth of good docking solutions. I was looking yesterday and I've come to the conclusion that most "docks" are actually just stands that let you charge at the same time. Very few seem to activate dock mode, and about the same number provide audio out (and the ones that do get bad marks on audio quality). Even harder to find are landscape docks.

I'm really looking forward to Samsung getting their Note II smart dock (http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/EDD-S20JWEGSTA?) to work with the GS3.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] kavsko:
There's one that I know that works...

It's from Philips and it supports USB or Bluetooth connections for audio.

I almost sure it doesn't activate the dock mode, it just charges the phone and with their app it can play music through USB.

As it supports Bluetooth, if you don't like their app you can always send the audio to the dock using this mode.

This one, for instance:

http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AS111...=1353085612&sr=8-11&keywords=philips+usb+dock

I don't own it but it's one of my "like to have it"!!! :p
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrgnRebrn:
Finally, some replies! I too am surprised at how few choices we have, referencing a true audio dock, for the S3. I hope to get some more feedback on this, and perhaps see if anyone knows of any upcoming items aimed for holiday release.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrgnRebrn:
Wanted to provide an update for anyone else looking for an audio dock for their GS3.

Short answer - There is no audio dock built specifically for our phone (that I could find) that is comparable to those available for "i-type" devices.

Alternative - I have found several options that are labeled as general "Android" sdokcing stations. I ended up narrowing my options down to two models in the Philips Fidelio series, the entry-level AS140 & the top-level AS851. The 140 provides the clock display & built-in FM tuner I want, but does not have remote functionality. The 851 has remote, but no FM, or clock. Both will charge the device, & both allow auxiliary input via 3.5mm. The 851 has an additional micro USB for charging an additional device, such as a tablet, or another smartphone. The 851 also has 30W output, compared to the 140's 10W.

The 140 rings in @ $69.95 shipped, & the 851 @ $132 shipped - both on amazon.

Ultimately, I think I'll go with the 851. Sound quality trumps the built-in FM tuner - and I can always display the Desk Clock and set my screen to never sleep while charging, in order to get a clock, calendar, & weather display! I'll just stream Pandora in place of FM to remedy the other loss.

I hope this helps anyone out there now, looking for this type of gift!

Good luck to you all, and Happy Holidays!

[Galaxy S III Accessories] MALditoNica:
I just got the as851 for Christmas and yes I can confirm that it works with my s3.

The actual docking feels kinda pointless, since it's only for charging. Besides, my phone is protected by a plastic thingie so the insertion is a little bit fiddly.

The second charger is actually a USB port.

The dock app and the songbird app are mediocre at best. Actually I came to xda to see if someone already hacked the remote so that it opens other apps by default.

The best thing about it is the sound plus the convenience. I do have have better sounding speakers, but it would be a pain to constantly move them from one room to another.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] DrgnRebrn:
I never installed those apps, based on their reviews. I stream Pandora and can confirm the remote functions well in controlling that app. I haven't used it with any others though.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] GoodRevrnd:
Looking for this also. I'm not completely sold on the Philips stuff at the prices they want. I just want to use this as a charger + alarm clock that will pull its audio off the device, preferably from something like Pandora or Spotify (I need alarm sounds that change frequently to wake up). What I would really like is this http://www.amazon.com/iHome-iC3-3-5...UTF8&qid=1359246187&sr=8-1&keywords=ihome+ic3

But the ic3 requires you to plug in a 3.5mm to get audio which is completely stupid rendering the dock useless imo. Whatever I get should probably activate dock mode, unless it has an independent clock display. Also, I'm unfamiliar w/ dock mode. Can you make it so the screen just displays black only showing a clock when docked or something to that effect?

Also check out Best Buy, some of the Philips are doing clearances in store, I was able to get the round clock one for 35

Hello Everyone,

I've just tried to install the slim ics rom.

I've a Nexus S with a version of 2.3.1 android with modaco rom, and i want to "upgrade" my phone to 4.0.4 with slim ics rom.

In the rom site, i saw that i need to "download latest cm9 nightly or any ICS kernel (odin or cmw flashable)", and then: "Enter CWM Recovery, Wipe data, Format System ( In Mounts and Storage)".

I didn't get it - I don't know what to do - to wipe the date (please explain me how to do it), and then install all the cm9 nightly rom which weighs 128mb, and after that the rom?

Thanks,

Or.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmdunn:
Don't worry about the cm9 rom procedure, here's what to do. I have attached a wipe all zip which is flashable in cwm recovery. Some of this is a bit of overkill, but it will get the job done.

Go to cwm recovery ... wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache partition, go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache. Return to main menu and install zip from sdcard, select zip, and flash the wipe all zip which is attached. Now flash Slim 4.2 and then flash the common zip. Reboot and you're done.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orronai:
So don't I need to install cm9?

I only need to wipe as you said and then install the slim ics 4.2?

Thanks!!

Edit:

Never mind, thank you!!

I've just installed the Slim Beans (4.1.2), and it works excellent!

I'd a problem after installing cm10 and then slim beans - the google keyboard crashed, so I didn't have any keyboard. I repaired by wiping the data and cache.

Thanks, it works very good!
[HTC Wildfire S] gz023247:
Hi peeps,

Ok...this is my dilemma. For some time now I have been using a HTC Wildfire phone as my work provided them for the staff. We have all been in the same opinion that the phones cause us daily problems with calls dropping, phone freezing, etc etc. :(

I personally have a Samsung S2 which has been great, although sadly the custom rom I have on it is no longer been developed so that's another issue to tackle another day.

Because I have to use the Wildfire daily I am looking to try and load a rom to make life easier and less problematic. So I would be grateful for suggestions and advice on a rom I could look at installing into the phone, thanks :good:
[HTC Wildfire S] sukhjit321:
Firstly just to be sure this is a "Wildfire S" forum not "Wildfire". Huge difference between both. Just making sure you are in right direction. :)

You may wanna root your phone and try a improved version of stock ROM assuming you need sense 2.1. I haven't used many sense 2.1 roms but Mindhaxor or disciple 1 is my favorite. Get them from android forums.

I personally use MIUI v4 for daily use. It's great.
[HTC Wildfire S] gz023247:
Cheers really appreciate your advice on this, after looking at videos on youtube to check and it would seem that it's not the "S" version at all....whoops....sorry about that.

Folks, someone please help me out.

desperate situation here.

Xperia mini 15sti : rooted, unlocked bootloader, busyboxed, RecoveryX installed (version for 2.3.4) - firmware 4.0.42 version : gingerbread

None of the ROMs I've downloaded have worked so far. Everything results in an error or another. It is incredible how difficult I'm finding this to be.

CM10 : gives me assert errors. Saying its not smultron. I've removed the assert check in updater, then it starts giving me installation aborted after some time.

CM9 : same assert error

ParanoidAndroid : symlink errors during installation

AOKP : installation fails with set path something

I've spent countless hours on finding out the root cause of my problem - but given that everything fails, I am guessing there is something elementary that is missing (or wrong in my approach)

I'm on android gingerbread, and trying to jump to either JB or ICS nothing really works here (I follow the usual wipe data cache everything with every single install attempt so far. And then start with rooting flashing firmware back to 4.0.42, then recoverX, then new ROM etc)

please help

Did you unlock your bootloader? If you haven't unlocked your bootloader none of the above mentioned Roms will work with you. (after unlocking the bootloader you need to flash a custom kernel according to the Rom you are flashing, via fastboot).

See this

Press thanks if I helped you
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] chepoz:
To flash those roms u mentioned, u need to unlock ur bootloader, n change the kernel provided within the roms.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dhruvraj:
thanks for the reply, and yes bootloader is unlocked (using the test point method), and I flash custom kernels (extracted from the installation zip boot.img of the ROMs I mentioned) before I go to CWM to install the ROM
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
Does any custom boot.img work with your stock Rom? Try flashing ragekernel for gb in your stock Sony Rom. And see if your phone is working normal.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
Okay your bootloader is unlocked for sure. now let's get to the rom part. Download any custom Rom for st15i based on stock Sony Rom. Try to flash it in CWM recovery. And if it throws any errors then please reply with each and every letter it says in error in the recovery while flashing . ONLY FLASH A gingerbread Rom based on stock Rom! Eg: clean and tweaked Rom from serjar FOR GINGERBREAD.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] KhemaraS.:
It seens that you formatted system before glashing cm and aokp,reflash stock and flash cm again reboot and enjoy or just open the zip go in meta inf folder find updater script,open it with notepad and remove the first six lines then close,repack again and flash
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
Yes but he also said after removing assert check in updater-script also it shows some errors it must be probably status 7 errors because of windows style end of line conversion corrupted the updater-script .

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:16 PM ----------

Okay, let me tell step by step tell what should be done.

1. Flash rage kernel for gb (3.0)(fixed)

2. Download any stock based gb Rom for your device . For example , clean and tweaked gingerbread Rom by serjar. Place the rom zip in the root of your sd card.

3.Reboot into CWM recovery (included in rage kernel no need to flash CWM separately)

4. Do factory wipe from CWM.

5. Flash the Rom zip from CWM . In the example case it is clean and tweaked gingerbread Rom from serjar .

If flashing throws any errors then post the error here.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] dhruvraj:
I'll try putting gingerbread ROM ..but just to let you guys know I used notepad++ to avoid windows line end errors as per the posts around here. That stopped the assert failure but gave installation aborted after with no other error message. Now will put GB n tell you guys
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] pitchblack5691:
Just to confirm,

You used notepad ++ but did you change the eol conversion to Unix format before saving the file?
