I've been running into the same tradeoffs. I'm not the biggest fan of Sense, but I've noticed the battery life is shot when using CM10, which makes me wish I could have my cake and eat it too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AxelLeung:
I want to backup my "Angry Birds Star War" save files but i don't know where is it

The path should be "/data/data/com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwars.ads.iap/files/" on other devices but it isn't exist on T989.

Kindly please help.

Thank you very much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 333redrum:
Is your phone rooted? If it is you should download a backup app like Titanium Backup. You can use it to save both apps and data, meaning your save files would be preserved. If you want to back up the file to a hard drive, you can always copy the backup file that Titanium Backup creates to that drive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AxelLeung:
Not rooted. So that i need to know the exact path for "adb pull" the file.

I can do that on other phone but not this one.

So what i need to know if the T989 apps are installed into "/data/data" ?

Or the angrys birds having a special version on T989 so that the package isn't "com.rovio.angrybirdsstarwars.ads.iap"

Thanks.

Hello.

I decided to flash the new CM10 on my GS3 tonight and I ran into a problem

i was following the steps here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Step 2: Download and open the EZ recovery app from HERE (If your coming from section 1 or 2 and already have a custom recovery, reboot recovery and skip to step 4).

Step 3: Open app, select CWM recovery, then tap the pulldown menu, choose CWM 6.0.1, select flash, then reboot recovery.

Step 4: From CWM recovery, Perform a nandroid backup from the "backup/restore" menu(Optional but recomended).

Step 5: Wipe data/factory reset, then under the "mounts & storage menu" Format System.

Step 6: Navigate to "install zip from sdcard", from there "choose zip from sdcard", and finally install the rom you downloaded in step 1 part A.

Step 7: Again, Navigate to "install zip from sdcard", from there "choose zip from sdcard", and finally install the gapps package you downloaded in step 1 part B.

I downloaded the ROM i wanted and I got to step 6 and I forgot to download the Gapps file.

IN CMW i went back and rebooted the phone after i wiped the data off it and everything, I thought this would just boot to stock ICS.

Now my phone will not boot up and it just stays in the GS3 logo screen.

I was wondering if there is a manual way that i could just make it boot into the old ICS so i can place the Gapps file back on my SD card?

Or is my device bricked?

Please let me know.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Just go back into CWM and flash the ROM you downloaded. Once its flashed wipe data/cache again then go to advanced and fix permissions. Then boot into your new ROM, it will take a little while to boot into it because it will be like the first time you turned your phone on and set it up after you got it. I really don't know why your phone is getting stuck at the boot screen but....

Anyway once you have booted into your new ROM use the browser and go download the gapps you need and reboot into recovery, wipe data/cache, flash gapps, go into advanced and hit fix permissions again (it will take longer this time), and reboot.

Just a heads up, if you downloaded a version of EZ Unlock above 1.2 then you will have to go back to stock via Odin ( if you're on PC) because versions above 1.2 don't really unlock your bootloader so it causes a soft brick. If you used 1.2 or any version before it then you should be fine. But if you get a message after you flash your rom that says something about not being approved by Verizon and please take it to your nearest store well you didn't unlock your bootloader. If you get that message just use Droidstyle's guide to go back to stock via Odin and then start over again.

As long as you used a EZ Unlock 1.2 or lower you will be OK to flash your ROM, reboot into ROM, download gapps, reboot into recovery, flash gapps, etc. Just use the steps above and all should be fine.

Thanks!

Thanks for the information!

I got it to work somehow but this is what I did.

I got it to boot via CMW and restored the backup that I first created. Then i downloaded the Gapps file and placed it on Sd card and just continued the steps on the tutorial.

Luckly the tutorial asked me to download 1.2 so that is what I did and I am glad that I did it.

Thanks for the help but I have JB 4.1.2 installed and everything seems to be working fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Just so you know some ROMs like Paranoid work best if you flash the ROM boot and let it settle for 30 mins and then rebbot into recovery and then flash gapps and fix permissions. If I had know you had made a CWM backup I would have just told you to restore that, I must have just missed that part in the OP. Either way, its not always a necessity to flash your gapps with the ROM, I always boot into the ROM and let it settle first and then flash em. I also wipe data/cache/dalvik, if I am flashing a ROM, or just cache/dalvik, if just gapps or similar, 3 times.

I am happy everything worked out for you. Sport I wasn't of more help sooner

Thanks for the help.

I have another question..I installed the "stable" version of CM10 from their website and ever since I installed it i have noticed that my signal is not as strong as it was before.

Is there anything else that I need to do to the phone to increase signal strength? I usually have around 3-4 bars in my house now i have one. At work i used to get 2 bars now I have none.

Let me know if you can help with this.

Thank you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Try flashing the latest vrblj1 radio. No need to do anything special, just follow the radio portion of section 6. Fyi you dont ever need to wait to flash gapps or wipe everything 3 times...what the guide says is what works best. Trust me i have tried every method imagineable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
It may have worked for you, but a lot of people on the PA thread have had problems with it when they flash gapps right after the rom without rebooting in between, just trying to help the OP before he gets started crack flashing. The first time I flashed PA on this phone I did rom + gapps and when.I rebooted everything was buggy as hell, so I did reboot into recovery and fixes permissions and when I rebooted it showed a screen that said Activating Please wait. Every single time I rebooted I got that screen, that is just the most annoying bug that I experienced with that flash, and when I asked for help I was told to flash ROM, reboot, then go into recovery and flash gapps and fix permissions.

On Liquid on the other hand I never experienced any problems whatsoever with flashing the ROM and gapps in the same session, but for ROMs that I have never used before I flash rom, reboot, flash gapps, fix permissions, reboot and go. I also flash 3 times because I uber paranoid about stuff being left over from whatever ROM I was running, and I did experience problems with stuff being left over when using CWM 6.0.1.2 when flashing and just wiping everything once so I Odined back to stock, which I learned thanks to you and your guide which I love btw, and then rooted, unlocked, and flashed TWRP this time since CWM wasn't working for me. And even with TWRP I wipe everything 3x now just to be extra cautious because I don't want a repeat of that episode.

I hope you don't take this the wrong way droidstyle, I'm not trying to start a fight like so many others on the forums do, just sharing what's happened to me and my phone and trying to help others. I learned everything I needed to know about flashing ROMs on a phone that has its bootloader unlocked from your thread. It is the most comprehensive thread I have seen for noobs about flashing and everything else. Thank you so much for it!

Also to the OP's question about service, I have flashed every radio and have never gotten better signal in AOSP roms, the connection was better but it didn't actually get stronger. I have 2 more 3g bars on TW ICS and I have 1 on AOSP. You should definitely go to the newer radio and test it out, but I've never seen an increase on my phone, but that all depends on where you are and how good your towers are too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
Thanks!

if its not to much to ask can you link me to a tutorial and the radio version that you are talking about?

I would like to do this tonight when I get home.

Thanks,.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
Download the top radio here, it will be VRLJ1 like droidstyle said:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/34053-of...zon-sgs3-sch-i535-odin-or-recovery-flashable/

The only radio tutorial you will need is on droidstyles guide, not sure what step but I know its there. Just download the Recovery Installable version of VRLJ1, also download the rpm for VRLJ1 there is a link right above the modem downloads. No one really knows for sure if the rpm are necessary for sure of not from what in have read but I always flash the corresponding one when I flash a new radio.

Also if you want to try out the other radios and see if they give you any better service, sometimes they will depending on area but so far the newest is the best so far for me, just go to the website above and download any of the Recovery Installable radios and their corresponding rpm's just like this one and flash it. There is no reason to clear data or cache when flashing as that won't be affected. Also you only need to flash the radio once. It stays no matter what ROM/anything else you flash.

RPM

Is there a difference between the RPMS?

the most downloaded RPM is the VRBLJ1 yet the radio is named VRLJ1.

Let me know because I am ready to flash this radio!

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
You download the rpm that matches the radio you want to flash. So you want to flash the VRLBJ1 radio you also wanna flash the VRLBJ1 rpm.

I think maybe invisiblek misnamed the files or maybe I'm missing something. Either way for that radio that you have get the latest rpm which is VRLBJ1

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
I just flashed the new radio and RPM provided in the links above and it seems like nothing changed. I checked the radio version in the settings and it is matching what I flashed but still service is still terrible 1 or two bars.

any other ideas on what I should do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
That's the same way it is with mine, but when I flash the new JB leak it works way way better, service wise, than even stock TW did. I have better overall service and I have not lost service or had to continue resending texts cause they won't go through, like on AOSP ROMs.

Things are supposed to get better, data wise, when the Ril and a few other things are incorporated from TW JB. I had read, before the leak, that service will be better on AOSP ROMs because they would be able to incorporate the leaks RIL. Now after there has been a TW JB leak I have read that the devs are waiting on the JB source code from Samsung so they can incorporate the Ril. I don't know which it is, I have seen one dev post he was waiting on a JB TW leak for the ril but it was a dev working on a TW ROM soooo..... I haven't seen an update to any of my favorite ROMs since the before first leak came, I'm talking about MIUI, Paranoid, and Liquid, so I don't know if they are in fact working on incorporating the Ril or if they are just taking longer than usual.to put out an update cause they're working on bugs. They could've also been waiting on the 4.2 source code to come out, I really don't know.

That's pretty much the long way of saying there's no way to get better service on AOSP that I've been able to find, all the radios have done for me have made the 3g/4g handoff a little better and faster. Hopefully the AOSP ril will get better soon and we can have as good of service as we have on the TW JB leaks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Itzvik:
Well thanks anyway.

I just installed the latest version and left it at that..hopefully CM10 improves and sends out a new update to fix a few bugs that I have found.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
They post nightlies every night, so hopefully someone will post some code for bugfixes on their github that will be incorporated and we can have better working AOSP!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucasMac:
On the developer site it says that the BlueZ Bluetooth stack was replaced with one developed by Google and Broadcom. I'm hoping that they implemented AVRCP 1.3 in this new stack. Has anyone tried streaming over Bluetooth to see if it streams the name of track/artist?

Subscribed. I would like to know this as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobdeagle:
wasnt this possible before all my previous android phones do this so does my current S3 (on CM10).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mightybrick:
This functionality was added in custom roms, beginning back with CM7, and now CM10 and AOKP, among others. AOSP does not contain this ability, yet. Here's hoping to it being added in 4.2.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucasMac:
Yes, but it's never been in stock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emhyr:
I just updated my Galaxy Nexus on 4.2 (OTA), and unfortunately still no AVRCP 1.3 =( I hope it will be the case for an hypothetical 4.2.1...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budjb:
The new Broadcom Bluetooth stack supports AVRCP 1.3, and even looks like it supports 1.4. The missing piece is the Bluetooth system app. It looks like the AVRCP extensions were added to the A2DP service before the stack update, and those pieces need to be ported to the new stack. I've started looking into it but I've got no real Android development experience. If an experienced dev were interested in this, I don't think it would be that hard.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxwen:
AFAIKT there is no AVRCP at all in 4.2.x at the moment
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boominsc:
No AVRCP 1.3

Hi there,

I got a Nexus 4 with stock android 4.2.2.

Skipping / Play / Pause is working on my car stereo, however no meta information is showing up on the screen.

I guess that means AVRCP 1.0 is supported, but still no AVRCP 1.3.

Does anybody have any insight on this matter how long it may take them to adopt the new broadcom (or whatever) bluetooth stack ? Would be the only reason for me to flash some custom rom, but I'm still hesitating cause the stock rom is really running great otherwise.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salem_christ:
I'm in the same boat as you. I downgraded my old galaxy nexus to a 4.1.2 rom so I could have avcrp 1.3. But I don't think there's any 4.1.2 roms for nexus 4 as it started on 4.2. I do miss the metadata on my car stereo :( But, also like you, I'm pretty happy with stock nexus 4 rom otherwise.

I'm sure you figured it out already, but just incase you didn't. I had the same issue when trying to flash a cm rom over a ported rom from a different phone like serenity and such. Two things worked for me, One do a factory reset with all the usual wipes, then reboot recovery, Two is to do a Odin flash back to stock and start over. I've only had this happen twice and both times I was coming from a ported rom.

Hope this helps.

(Attached v1.2.2, v1.2.3)

This gets rid of the lockscreen widgets and camera on the homescreen on Android 4.2 or higher.

If you have root, you can disable the bold-hour clock widget from the action bar menu, under 'Clock Hack'. (since 1.2)

The app is completely free. I don't foresee adding anything much to this app (I could add a couple of toggle widgets).

This is a lightweight app at 80KB.

There's a known issue under 4.2.2:

With the clock hack disabled, the clock widget toggles between the bold hour clock and the non-bold hour clock every other unlock. If your device is rooted, you can use the clock hack to get the device to consistently display the non-bold hour clock. Otherwise, there isn't anything I can do for you immediately. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I had no control over this.
