[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemek211:
Hi, thanks for your interest :)

Two days ago I made a re-flash Stock > CWM > CM9 (twice) > CM10

Attention about IMEI doesn't longer appear :)

I've installed apps. The phone has resets for a one time when I was using some app. It is not a big problem for me if SGS makes that from time to time (maybe some apps are not adapted to the JB very well). However today I used him to record my drive (dailyroads voyager) and when i tried to stop the recording, he doesn't backs to life (just I needed to pull the battery out) and video file was corrupted. But when I was getting back to home it worked correctly. I have no idea why that's happen.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amerkiller1995:
Restarts shouldn't happen that was some unusual circumstance. The video problem is weird, post here if it happens again, lets hope its just bad luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemek211:
Ok, I'll look on it.

I have one other question and maybe you will know.

Call recording. There are two options for use this feature. Simple MIC recording apps and 'two-way call recording' which is much better, however it needs kernel with handle of it. I didn't find anyone for SGS, so I want to use MIC recording. There are many apps in Google Play. However any of them makes 0kB files of record on JB's CM10. When I was using gingerbread it didn't worked too however files were good, but the second side of call didn't hear me.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amerkiller1995:
In regards to two way recording, i don't think it's solved...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=863074&page=38

I never needed that feature, so i won't be much help, try different apps and remember some apps are on XDA, not only the play store.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemek211:
I saw that, but it is only for Froyo, when i installed it into gingerbread i needed to re-flash my SGS :)

I tried a lot of apps, however it looks like being locked (if worked they made 0kB files)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] przemek211:
Sadly, i still have the issue with reset-byself. Maybe now i don't see some restarts, because i don't have this attention about imei, but an hour ago i saw the boot animation http://youtu.be/ogp9f4_yEoU?t=25s It was not normal, it was much darker than normal. Of course I needed to pull the battery out. Maybe i wouldn't write, but my friend said he called for few times. If he didn't told me, i wouldn't know. I love my SGS, but now the stability is horrible. Maybe it's my fault because i'm installing a lot of apps, for example avast anti-virus (i use for nice anti-theft feature) shows that he is incompatible with GO SMS Pro.

Is there any way to find the reason of this issue? Maybe some logger or something like that.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amerkiller1995:
Is your phone new or used/refurbished?

You can provide a logcat, I have no idea if it will be any use though, I'm not that skilled.

I had this problem recently, what I did to solve it was:

1. Wiped /system

2. Wiped cache + Dalvik

3. Reflashed latest CM10 nightly available

4. Wiped cache + Dalvik

5. Reflashed latest gapps available

6. Wiped cache + Dalvik

7. Reflashed latest Semaphore kernel

8. Reboot

From there on in I haven't had a single random reboot. I am currently running the Nov 24 build since I haven't hit any issues since then
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nmbr1ctrman:
This is probably more of a general question not specific to Galaxy s III, but I have one so I guess it's relevant. Has any developers given any thought to making interface variations for left handed people? I feel like some of the interface features in android are specific to right handed people. Case in point: The notification panel has a clear button that's on the right hand side. The App drawer is on the right hand side. The text message program has the compose button at the top right. Those are the major ones I could think of. It's not a huge deal, but given the size of the device, it makes one handed use more difficult for us lefties.

Weird, I was in general discussion and it posted in the dev section. Sorry guys!

I don't how tied you are to your current apps, but Nova Launcher (and probably other custom launchers) will let you move the drawer button (and even have more than one).

ChompSMS has a long, middle new message button (check out screenshots in the Play Store).

I'm not sure about the notification bar, though. That actually might need a new ROM...

Hi guys,

I currently have a problem with my ADB which doesn't seem to work with Windows 8. I set up everything as I did on Windows 7 before (including Environment Variables), but the ADB doesn't detect my Nexus 7 (List of devices attached is empty)

I think it might be a driver issue (see the screenshot attached). I also tried it with my HTC One X and it doesn't detect it either.

Does anyone have any idea how to get it to work? My devices are both unrooted and locked.

I wanted to install the upgrade to Android 4.2 for the N7.

Hopefully somebody can help me.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT:

I btw also tried the Nexus 7 Toolkit from here and I also installed the Google Drivers through Android SDK.

When trying to install the drivers through Nexus 7 Toolkit the following error occurs:
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbotab:
Do you have Android SDK installed?, if so try the following, you're using Windows 8, right?

On the 'old' Windows Desktop, right-click on the bottom left corner

> Select 'Command Prompt (Admin)'

> type ' devmgmt.msc '

> Right click on the driver with warning sign and select update driver > select BROWSE and go to the extras\google\usb_driver\ folder of your SDK and then update the driver. Did that resolve the issue?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCServe:
It works for the Nexus 7 when it's running, not in fastboot though :(
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbotab:
Have you rebooted the PC since installing the drivers?, if not give that a go and try again, they may need a reboot to complete the installation.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCServe:
Yes, I tried to restart the computer as well as the tablet several times. When the system is running on the N7, the drivers are detected and everything works fine, even ADB. But in fastboot it shows the warning sign in Device Manager and when I try installing the drivers either from the SDK Google Drivers or the Nexus 7 Toolkit drivers it says

I also tried the drivers from ASUS with the same result.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Turbotab:
Did you try browsing to the driver location instead of letting Windows find the driver?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
I have used TWRP recovery on this phone since day one and have always used TWRP on all my devices, but I decided to switch to CWM Touch due to incompatible experiences with TWRP. My question is, can I restore backups made by TWRP with CWM Touch? I have backups of different ROMs I like flopping around and if so how do I do it? Just put the files from the TWRP backups into the CWM folder? Thanks

P.S. I am sorry if this question has been asked before, I did a search on xda and didn't find a topic about this.

Unless you opt-out it will show custom made ads for YOU.

Yes, ads are displayed by the content of the most webpages you visit (on mobile)

So if the porn sites are among your mostly viewed pages, you will get porn ads.

How to remove Google Ads from any APK​

This tutorial will learn you how to remove Google Ads from any APK (app), the ads are a specific part in the source code that can can be removed easily without damaging the app.

Any ways, I encourage you to keep supporting the app developers by buying their apps. The outcome of this tutorial is made personal use only and you may not share (or even sell) the apps you cleaned from ads.

Requirements:

- Java 6/7 (JRE or JDK)

- APK Multi Tools

- ADB

Youtube Video:

[youtube]Pw-e2m_TBxA[/youtube]

or http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pw-e2m_TBxA

Instructions:

Step 1. Download and install/extract all needed packages. (Install JRE/JDK 6/7 and unpack APK Multi Tool and ADB)

Step 2. Looking what apps you have installed on your phone to pull (make sure you're in debugging mode)

- In ADB folder, run adb.bat

- Enter: "cd data/app"

- Enter: "ls", now your apps will show up

- Copy an apk name by right clicking in the cmd window and click mark, then mark the text and right click again to copy

- Now terminate adb.bat by either pressing Control+C and enterying "y" or closing the window.

Step 3. Pulling the apk

- In ADB folder, hold shift and right click in an empty place in the folder (not on some file/folder) > Open Command window here

(or press windows key + r and enter cmd, now enter "cd C:\your\adb\folder\here")

- once in command prompt, enter: "adb pull /data/app/[right click > paste]"

- After pulling the apk it will appear in your ADB directory. Now copy the apk

Step 4. APK Multi Tools Setup

- In APK-Multi-Tool folder, open setup.bat

- Enter "3" and press enter

- Enter "00" and press enter to exit setup

- Browse to /place-apk-here-for-modding/ and press Control + V to paste your pulled apk

Step 5. APK-Multi-Tool Decompilation

- In APK-Multi-Tool folder, open script.bat and press enter

- Enter: "24" and press enter, now choose your apk, probably #1

- Enter: "9" and press enter to decompile your apk

- Browse to the /projects/apkname folder

Step 6. Removing the ads

- In APK-Multi-Tool\projects\apkname.apk folder, open the smali folder

- Then browse to the com folder and then to the google folder

- Now you will see a folder called ads. remove this folder.

Step 7. Compiling the apk

- In APK Multi Tool, enter: "12" to start compiling the apk

- When a new text dialog appears, enter: "3" and press enter

- When the "keep folder" question shows press enter

- Now your signed apk (without ads) can be found in the APK-Multi-Tool\place-apk-here-for-modding folder

- Copy the apk (with "signed" in front of the name) and paste it in the ADB directory

Step 8. Installing the result

- Select the apk and press F2 (or change name) to copy then name to the clipboard then press enter to discard the name change

- Now, hold shift and right click in an empty place in the folder (not on some file/folder) > Open Command window here

(or press windows key + r and enter cmd, now enter "cd C:\your\adb\folder\here")

- Enter "adb install [right-click > paste]"

- Now the app will successfully install! Enjoy!

I have to say that ROMs are all about personal preference. Imo you should test out various ROMS to see what's best for you...

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kilometers4:
How many battery cycles did you let the battery settle for? You should give your battery at least 3 cycles before you judge the life of the battery after you flash something. You can also try CPU spy from the play store to see if your device is deep sleeping. Also try better battery stats to see if you have any wakelocks.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ysrini:
I use RR 3.1.2 and I don't think there is a severe battery drain. Use better battery statsto know what caused it, at the first place.

I give the battery 10+ battety cycles in each rom i try before i report... I will try battery stats and set cpu but i think (because i have tried them in rr) they will not give me the exact reason about my problem. I will try again and post here the results.

Anyway, thank you.
