For me it's having access to Android updates.

I can't remember when I didn't have jellybean. My dad got it last night on his s3.

I get updates every day. 4.12, now.

4.2 very soon.

In a lot of ways the cm team (along with others) are writing the android code.

Why not get our operating system from the source? Then play with it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Don_Perrignon:
You're missing the point, a good feature that comes with the ROM. Samsung takes it out and you have to download another whole app to have that feature again.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Murmur95:
The best rom hands down for the D2tmo is liquid smooth, I tried a lot of the custom roms and they either have great customization and a lot of odd bugs or you will have to use a rom with TW which means no customization but less bugs. I find that Liquid Smooth lets you do the customization of a normal custom rom but does away with TW which being (mostly) bug free.

It took them a while to get there but V8 is pretty solid.

I like aokp better than cm10... just more customizable... but neither are as good as the last ics update - J4 - in my opinion... including the jb 4.1.1 JA ota that was just released. The last ics release was/is flawless and I can get 21 hrs of battery with 4.5 hrs of screen and 3+ hrs of cell talk time. (With only 24hrs in a day it appears to be plenty unless we are in a pi55ing contest). I don't think I would like leaving my phone unplugged all night only to need to charge it when im out and about just to measure... well u know what men in pi55ing contests measure :rolleyes:;)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
1)Hidden menus

Are there any hidden menus on the stock rom? Are there hidden menus on other ROMs?

For example :*#22745927 hidden menu for RMNET + DM + MODEM mode and *#7284# enter to PhoneUtil, LTE is turned on via *#*#4636#*#*

What are these for? How many of them are there?

is this a full list and are they applicable for the S3 i747? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25026311

2) Recovery.

What the heck is the difference between CWM vs TWRP vs NV backup vs boot in recovery for nandroid backup?

What are all of these?? what type of backups do each one make?

I think NV is specifically for IMEI, but wont cw, twrp, or nandroid cover this?

Is nandroid a term used for CWM/TWRP backups?

How is the stock recovery?

How does something like this compare with just using twrp or cwm?

Thanks, i hope my noob questions werent too bad
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
You'll have to try out the dialer codes to see which work and which don't. Just be careful as there are a couple that will reset your phone.

Recovery, CWM and TWRP are two different custom recoveries. They allow you to do stuff that the stock e3 recovery won't, like flash custom mods, ROM's, etc. Of the two TWRP is gaining ground as the most popular recovery of choice for the extra options it has over CWM. An NV backup is IMEI specific as that is all it backs up is your IMEI. CWM/TWRP backups (nandroid backup) take a snapshot of your system as is at that moment and can be restored at a later date or if a mod you do doesn't work. Nandroids do not back up modem(radio) or IMEI information.

The toolkit is a computer based program that does all this, except the IMEI stuff, and more but you need to have your phone hooked to the computer in order to use it, the CWM/TWRP recoveries are all phone based.

Hope this info helps a little.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
Thanks Jethro! I gave you a thanks.

So these are called dialer codes?..... what are they generally used for? I dont want to reset my phone by accident.

If its just a regular phone reset with no data loss then ok, i'll give that a shot and record which ones work with my Rogers i747m model.

So essentially twrp and cwm creates an image called nandroid.

NV collects imei info

What type of files do stock recovery give you?

Oh I also ran across something claled Titanium backup.......how does that compare with twrp and cwm?

As for the toolkit, is that the only difference? Its that

1) its a cpu based program

2) it baiscally has recover, unlock, drivers, and flashing rom all programmed into 1 place?

So I can back up with twrp, cwm, and the toolkit if i wanted to be OCD about it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
The dialer codes are "hidden" as they are used by service techs who repair phones and generally aren't suppposed to be used by the end user lol. But then again the end user isn't supposed to root and install custom software either ;)

I don't think stock recovery has an option to back up anything it is just used to install over-the-air updates and official software.

Titanium backup allows you to back up various things in android such as SMS, MMS, call logs apps and thier data(app settings, game saves). You can only back up app data if your rooted. If your going to be flashing ROMs then you will want either Titanium back or My back up root<--does the same stuff as Titanium back only easier user interface.

Right on the money about the toolkit. You can install it on your computer and browse through the menus and stuff without hooking up your phone to see all the stuff it actually does. Even though the option is there I don't think it will back up imei stuff or carrier(SIM) unlock this phone yet.

Yes you can do as many backups as you like lol. Just keep in mind the recovery based back ups are recovery dependant. If you make a recovery with CWM then switch recoveries to TWRP the backup you made with CWM won't be campatible with TWRP. I suggest picking a recovery(hint,hint...TWRP lol) and sticking with it. I seriously advise reading through this thread before doing any major flashing and back up your imei info and saving it a couple different places.

I suggested picking a recovery and sticking with it because even though tiny there is always that chance that something could go wrong during a flash and brick your phone(soft or hard). Flashing ROMs that chance is very slim and if something does go wrong its usually just a soft brick and easy to recover from(restore a nandroid you created usually), unless you flash a ROM from some other device, thats could potentially wreck your phone. Flashing recoveries that chance is still also small but if something goes wrong it will be harder to recover from as now there won't be a recovery and you'll have to flash using odin through download mode and can be a pain. Remember I said slim chances of flashed going bad, just be aware that no matter how slim, it could still happen. The chances of winning the lottery are slim but someone always wins it lol.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikoal:
wait so you are not recommending me to back up a twrp and then back up a cwm?

Cant twrp still restore with twrp and cwm with cwm?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
Yes you can do both but they arent compatible with each other. You are right twrp with twrp and cwm with cwm. The point I was trying to make is that you should pick one recovery or the other and stick with it. Nandroid are fairly large in size and will eat up a lot of space. Not to mention having to flash back and forth between recoveries. In the end thier is no reason why you can't except the inconvenience of dealing with two recoveries thag arent compatible with each other.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dante32278:
I think it would save a lot of time and effort, not to mention search functions, if we can establish that any questions or issues that arise on a users phone are finished with a summary of what rom/kernel/theme/app (if applicable) would be described at the end of a post, if posting in General or QA sections. I know XDA has many useful members with a ton of knowledge that can help, but from what I read usually it takes 4-81 posts before the OP gets more specific on what they downloaded/flashed before their issue came up (guilty at one point also). In order for the experts to offer expert advice and users to ask new topics while reducing the "try Google" comments, this could help xda users and browsers in their efforts to fixing bugs or finding tiny fixes for their particular issue if all/most are on board.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
No issues/questions should be in General. All should go in Q&A, and I agree that more info should be given in the first post but the biggest problem with this is that noobs show up here frantic and post quickly without reading or searching so this won't be read either.

I upgraded from stock ICS w/ mobile odin. it took care of everything for me.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FlynnErik:
Someone confirmed the IR blaster works on the 3110 JB running on the 3113 model?

How is that possible when the 3110 doesn't have IR?

If that is the case, and they built that into the 3110 code, could it be that they are doing what the CM crew is doing? Building 1 JB for both? Since most of the trees are the same (I think thats what I read them say about the change in the thread).

If that above applies, then how come they haven't released a 3113 JB update yet, or announced that the 3110 update is also for 3113?

I am puzzled...your thoughts would be appreciated.

PS if more people install it on the 3113 and it works please let us know you have, and if possible a vid. I am considering installing it, but figured a 3113 version would be coming out shortly after this one.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] pinoymutt:
Confirmed -- just flashed to my 3113 using Mobile Odin, then installed Peel from the market and was happily changing channels on my TV. Looks like Sammy kept the driver code in the 3110 software probably to keep it consistent with the 3113 (less testing).
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FlynnErik:
Do we think the 3113 wont be getting its own JB then? Since why would it take 3 days to release the 3113 from the 3110 if its the same code?

Am I making sense?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Russ77:
it makes sense from a product platform that the firmware would essentially be the same since the only difference is the ir blaster.

I was able to change channels on my satellite box and turn my TV on. and off.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] pinoymutt:
I am sure that it will get its own, and the only question is when.

Actually only the French version has gotten the JB update on the 3110, the other regions are still officially on ICS according to FUS, and so it's all a matter of the responsible carrier.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Russ77:
well french JB for the p3110 blows the doors off US ICS for the p3113.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] FlynnErik:
Agreed 100%, it does make sense, and I am glad they saved the time and money doing it the way they did, I guess the basic Q is, are we not going to get an official 3113 since the 3110 works on our devices.

If thats the case, they should tell us "Hey guys, go get the 3110 update, since you wont be getting a 3113 official OTA" lol. I know they will put out a 3113 because not everyone is like us (flashing) however, it would be nice to have a time frame considering the 3110 works perfectly.

Which ROM are you coming from?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] jtskier11:
Stock that was on the 3113, I think it was UEBLH2. It was not rooted or rom'ed at all.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Yucko:
Tried it anyways (against my better judgement) but went back to 4.0.4

I hate the fact that Samsung/Google decided that phablet-ui is the way to go on a 7" tablet. IT'S A TABLET SO AT LEAST LET THE USER MAKE A CHOICE WHICH UI HE/SHE PREFERS!

It really messes up the layout in some apps. Not to mention the centered notification dropdown bar is horrible now. The only way at this moment to go back to tablet-ui on the tab 2 7.0" is by editing the dpi setting which in turn makes everything to small to read :(

The ring in the browser is also to small now by default.

Nah, JB is not for me.

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] olly2009:
Completely agree with you. I bought a tablet that I can use in landscape, why removing features in an upgrade? UPgrades should go UP. What is this trend ! Microsoft removes start button in windows 8, Google removes landscape in 7 inch tablets. For me there is no going to official JB until someone hopefully finds a way to bring back landscape in official JB rom. Of course there is AOSP or paranoid but then we loose IR.
