How can I go back to Stock ICS?

I would like to take the opportunity to flash a DBT firmware (and change the CSC accordingly). I was on XEF.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jonatasneves13:
Go back to Android 2.3 and then root with kernel AbyssNote.

After that, pass the ICS stock desired by ODIN.
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
This isn't a bug, more of a ICS/JB feature that is somewhat annoying.

I have sensitive ears, so whenever I listen to music on my phone, I keep the volume at one unit above muted. If that sounds confusing, think of it as muting the phone, then pressing the volume up button exactly once.

I noticed that at this setting, the volume is considerably louder than in CM7 at the same setting. I understand many people actually appreciate this, but in my case, it's loud enough that I end up having difficulty hearing external noises, i.e. someone calling my name from across the room, or the doorbell ringing.

Is there any sort of app or setting that I could use to fine-tune the volume even more? I would like something that is analogous to the in-line headphone volume control I use on my PC. On my PC, I use the Windows settings to put the volume at 20%, then I use the rotary slider on my headphone wire to fine-tune, adjusting up or down depending on whether I'm on skype, playing a game, watching a movie, etc, without changing the Windows volume from 20%. If there's some way to do this on Android, that'd be great.
[LG Optimus 2x] TjekDig:
You ought to be able to do that, using DSP manager or a media player with an equalizer, such as PowerAmp.

...
[LG Optimus 2x] darenb4:
Yeah dsp manager is your best option. Easy to use as well
[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
Forgot to check back on this thread. Thanks guys, DSP Manager's equalizer worked.

I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.

Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.

I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dmwitz:
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] hausman:
...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.

Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dinovino:
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.

It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.

I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.

Hope this helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] alijbara:
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.

Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!

Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?

That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] m3meems:
Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] kamiller42:
How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?

For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.
[HTC One X] BigFatTony:
Hello fellow earthling!

Acc. to my carrier, the JB OTA is gonna hit me soon. (Finally!) So I've been thinking about going back to stock in order to download and save the OTA file. (Which is going to be saved in /cache, right?)

=> :confused: My question:

From this update-file, how do I create a firmware.zip-file, like the one aviable on the CID thread?

Greetings from Switzerland,

BigFatTony
[HTC One X] ClydeB1:
The OTA zip file contains the firmware.zip file so you just need to extract it.
[HTC One X] Vcek:
people claim it gets downloaded in the Download(s) folder on your SD, or on the root of the SD (and is deleted if you apply it)

the OTA file should look something like this : OTA_ENDEAVOR_U....blablablbalblablablablab.zip

to extract the firmware just copy the ota file and open it on your pc and you will find firmware.zip if its included.
[HTC One X] BigFatTony:
//SOLVED//

Thank you very much! It's so simple, it's boring. ;)

Thanks to you, too, Vcek. I'm sure I'll find it.

Have a nice evening. :cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] renesoul:
I'm running into a problem with flashing kernels, for example the ktoon kernel will say it's flashed however the phone only shows the word Samsung then dies. any ideas? sorry for potentially reposting something already discussed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jakereeves31:
What ROM are you on?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
Sounds like you're flashing the wrong kernel version or one that is incompatible with new ROM code.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] renesoul:
I was trying to flash liquidsmooth rom, the newest available, and that wouldn't boot either which I'm guessing is because it didn't run on a stock kernel. But when i was trying in the OP i was trying Galaxy Mod rls 7 and it wouldn't get past the first Samsung boot screen whenever i would chose ktoon kernel but would work whenever stock kernel was chosen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] renesoul:
That's possible but both kernels were provided by the rom itself so is it that likely?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zalithian:
When certain merges are incorporated into a ROM, it is required that the kernel has that same code, or it will make the phone unable to get past the boot screen. If it's not working with the kernels provided by the ROM, then maybe you have some bad downloads, or an unfortunately special phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TwoGunsABlazin:
I think i might be having this problem also?

I had the latest stable version of CM10 and using EZ Recovery, i flashed the hybrid invisiblek and tried to reboot into recovery. Now all my phone does is flash the Samsung logo, then the Samsung Galaxy SIII logo and then stays black with the navigation buttons lit up. I can't seem to boot into any recovery mode by holding the power, home and volume up buttons.

Not sure how to fix this. Any help would be appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ratledge:
You're hosed until you replace the ICS-based kernel (invisiblek hasn't come out with v3 yet - for one reason there's no source code, yet) on a JB-based ROM. Use Odin to flash a new recovery (CWM 6.0.1.2 works well) until somebody comes out with a Jelly Bean compatible kernel.

I'm told that K747 works, but I haven't tried it. By the way: read the dox a little better: if you use invisiblek's KEXEC-based kernel, then you don't have a recovery to boot into - until you flash over it. (again, I'm told you can from ADB, but I haven't tried it).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjlwork:
I'm not new to flashing been doing it for going on 5 years. I got an T989 and wanted to put a custom rom on it. I followed instructions to install CWM using ODIN and got my CWM working, I flashed CM10 stable hercules following the instructions exactly (factory wipe, wipe cache, wipe dalvic, flash modem, flash rom, flash gapps, reboot), When it reboots I get the roms splash creen for CM 10 andit stays there forever. I also tried Slim Bean 3.0 and get the same results. I've tried going back to stock ICS and starting over from scratch and each time I get the same result I get to the splash screen and nothing else. I am using CWM 5.0.2.7.

Anyone got any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong I've been reading post after post for about 4 hours now..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
When using cwm 5.0.2.7 or below, use the dark side super wipe for all the wiping BEFORE flashing (data, system, cache, etc...)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjlwork:
Thanks, I actually just found a thread about the "proper way to flash" and seen that 5.0.2.7 was my issue, I upped to 6.0.1.5 we'll see how that goes
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjlwork:
So, I used dark side super wipe, then flashed as per how I listed above and still same results :(. There has got to be something I am missing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
I would suggest using TWRP 2.3.1.1 there are no issues with this and you might find better results... just download goomanager app and press menu and select install openrecoveryscript and go through the setup see if you can flash then and good luck with your ROM flashing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjlwork:
NOthing wants to work for me today. When I try to install TWRP it says there are no recoveries for my device....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
Try the flash able zip here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1768742

And if you do use TWRP you will NOT need the superwipe scripts
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjlwork:
This is very messed up, got the flashable zip, everything wen't fine, tried to wipe cash with twrp and device froze until it rebooted by itself. tried installing rom, and now I when I try to go back into twrp it hangs on the splash screen for TWRP. Now I'll have to ODIN back to stock to get back to functioning....something is definately not right here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
You forgot to wipe system. Factory wipe then system wipe...then dalvik and cache wipe. But darkside superwipe should have done that for you.

Sent from my SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
No, only use the darkside wipes with CWM 5.0.2.7. With 6.0.1.4+, just wipe manually following those steps I posted in that thread. Although you don't need to flash the radio every time. The radio stays no matter how many times you flash.

To make it easier for you..

Go back to stock. Root and install CWM 5.0.2.7.

When you get into recovery flash the darkside super wipe twice and flash the ROM. Then gapps. Reboot and you're good to go. The issue is that you tried using the dark side wipes when they're only meant to be used with TWRP and versions of CWM 5.0.2.7 and lower.

CWM 5.0.2.7 for this phone didn't function correctly so TDJ made those scripts with fixes included specifically for CWM 5.0.2.7.

Point is.. only use TDJs wipes with TWRP (any version) or CWM 5.0.2.7 or lower. With every other recovery just wipe manually as stated in that thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjlwork:
here is the issue darkside wipe works fine with 5.0.2.7, but I still get just the splash screen of the rom and no boot. When I use a newer CWM and I am preparing to clear cache the phone freezes and goes into a boot loop, same with TWRP. After using TWRP last night I got screwed and couldn't even get back to recovery. I odined a 5.8.1.3 version of CWM to see if I could back into recovery and I can, but it says E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log and E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log.I also can't do anythiing in the recovery as every time i press a button it reloads. I'm just waiting for the stock telus rom to d/l and going to odin back to stock. I'm really lost. I'm starting to think I might have bad nand.....is there an app I can check that with?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jjlwork:
Finally, the instruction to use 5.0.2.7 and dark wipe 2 times before installing rom worked :) Thanks for all the help all!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mintharis:
I also use the darkside cache wipe after flashing the ROM/gapps which properly wipes cache/dalvik on cwm 5.0.2.7.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
NO. Only use the cache wipe if you're having issues. Cache wiping after ROM installation is absolutely unnecessary. Let's not muck things up here.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

You're welcome buddy :D I myself have reverted to using CWM 5.0.2.7 over any other recovery. Works perfectly when using the Dark side scripts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
Was having the same issues as OP. Would install fine and then wouldn't get past the animation.

Got dark side super wipe and cache wipe and worked like a charm first time! Thank goodness :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bodoct:
Probably not. Just have to wait for official release
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] k.babymamma:
If I decide to root, but still keep everything else stock for now...will it affect ability to download OTA? I've been holding off. I do know I will have to re-root after it comes of course. There seems to be conflicting info wherever I've tried to search/read so I'm just asking, officially. :) I don't want to have to unroot to get the multi-view love.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] C.Flat:
While you are rooted you will not be able to get OTAs
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kleeman7:
The developers that we have will take the official rom and make it custom once we get updates. Rooting wont block an OTA, it will just removes the root, you could reroot, or you could just install one of the custom roms with multiview, as the devs will update roms as soon as the official updates come along. There is really nothing to loose.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rrackman:
Rooting blocks OTA ??

I am not convinced you are correct in the statement that "Rooting does not block OTA updates". I have my Galaxy Note 2 (paid full price but then Samsung is giving me $375.00 for my *old* Galaxy Note so I am not complaining) that is only rooted, no custom rom or tweaks. Every time I go to check for updates "Settings, About Device, Software Update" it always says "Update Interrupted, phone will check for updates in the next 48 hours". This seems to me like it is not actually connecting to the update server (I have tried over WiFi and over 4g with the same results).

Could be that you are right and I am wrong and my phone is not right, but everything else about my Galaxy Note II is AWESOME.

I am counting on Kies having the update as soon as AT&T does it OTA and I will just get it by direct connection to my laptop.

(waiting . . . .)

I am pretty sure every phone I have had that has been rooted ( 7 phones and 1 tablet) has been able to download updates some couldn't install them.

How are you getting 375 for the okd note. Att told me it was a little over 100 trade in value
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] biggggant:

Just kidding. I got $375 too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhigh:
Wow I didnt know that samsung did trade in's too. Ill have to look into the sgs3 trade in value since my kids took our notes snd left us with that and a nexus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_ok2me:
Register

I found out about the upgrade offer via email. You might have to subscribe / register an account on their website to get emails, promos, etc. I was suprised my Note 1 upgrade was more than street value. It was a no-brainer to upgrade, although I was a bit hesitant because I like the Note 1 black color better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhigh:
Wtf note 1 trade 375. Sgs3 trade 275. Thats retarded. The 275 is better than craigslist moronic offers ive been getting. The note1 is outdated and less value than a sgs3. I dont get it the sgs3 isnt as old and far superior
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_ok2me:
Hey - it's rude to use the word retarded. You'll cry when you end up having a 'retarded' kid. Aside from that, I think the Note 1 is an alternative to the SG3. The specs are pretty much the same, but you get the bigger screen - unless you want the smaller screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhigh:
Obviously you dont know what retard means and the note 1 compares in no way with the sgs3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_ok2me:
Obviously you're still a kid.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] carhigh:
Hold on I have to go retard the timing on my mini bike so it will run better
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_ok2me:
Clearly there's a difference in the intent of the word. Keep it up. Have fun.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] truth77:
The note 1 does compare to the s3 all day. I have one and I wouldn't have traded it for the s3 because they're so comparable. This is the only phone I would have traded my note for!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rrackman:
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing since I have done the "Valuation" on some other sites. This is a SAMSUNG upgrade. You give them your phone information, they give you a price (assuming the phone arrives in the condition you state) they will pay you ONCE you have upgraded. I got my quote, printed my prepaid shipping label, included my receipt from Paypal and a copy of the barcode from the new phone.

Go here to get Samsung's upgrade deal: http://www.samsungupgrade.com/?q=main

Unless you have a damaged phone I bet you get more than from AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] a_ok2me:
'Samsung Upgrade' phishing scam?

I'm concerned there's no way to track it - that the post office actually delievered it. I asked for a receipt and they wouldn't even print a receipt. And who's to say that 'Samsung Upgrade' email is not a phishing scam?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kbiz:
On the upgrade page there's a bunch of galaxy notes listed... which one is which? They're all worth different trade in values...

Hello,

I just switched Straight Talk and I'm having issues connecting to data. I have read through all of the threads here and spent a few hours on the phone with Straight Talk support. I have tried all of the suggested APN settings and numerous variations.

I am wondering if this is a symptom of the modem I am using. I am running a CM9 nightly build (9-20120625) with modem JL3 (default modem for this build).

If Straight Talk is working for you on your Captivate, will you respond here with your modem information? I will not hesitate to switch roms or modems if I know one is going to work.

Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
I'm on straight talk as well and though I don't don't think I've ever used the particular modem you're using I've never had data issues with any modems only overall signal strength and GPS ability. With that being said I'm using kg3 modem with no problems.

With the APN settings that you get from straight talks website they do not work properly. However many of the latest jellybean builds come preloaded with APN settings that work with straight talk. I would personally suggest either Hellybean or Slimbean.

If you want to try the settings before you flash a different ROM they are as follows...
