Hm... I use my phone to control my laptop, so now I need to dig out my wiimote to control my phone for when I leave it on the coffee table and not on the couch right next to me. But then what do we use to control the wiimote? :cyclops:

Alright, use wiimote to control phone that controls iPad that controls laptop that controls home theater computer that plays music. :D

I haven't played with AOSP yet, but from my experience with Sense, It feels very complete and well polished, and for my needs anyways, it is plenty configurable. It has some really useful widgets too (like the tasks widget in particular).
[HTC Rezound] cslingerland:
I'll give that to sense. I think its the one thing that it beats aosp in. Widgets. But you can always download them from the play store or make them yourself
[HTC Rezound] I Am Marino:
Nothing beats the stability and purity of AOSP IMO.
[HTC Rezound] JTrusty:
I really prefer the customizations available in AOKP over sense. Especially with Theme's like Cobalt. I went with Android phones because I could customize the interface.

However, I don't get anywhere near the battery life as I do on the latest Sense 3.6 ROM's. Perhaps Neo's new Rage and AOKP ROM's will fix that.
[HTC Rezound] jon7701:
I just came back to AOSP and realized how nice all the customizations are. :good: I also tried Next launcher beta and it is really nice, it is really smooth on JB.
[HTC Rezound] Rezinator:
The one thing to be aware of with AOSP are the issues with blue tooth. While I had no issues using bluetooth with CleanRom, both CounterShrike and Rage make bluetooth unusable (everything else is great). I am anxiously awaiting for a fix for this.

Hi

i want to force the phone to always startup to the bootloader

the reason behind this is that my volume- buttom does not work and cannot be fixed (trust me i have split the phone to atoms to have a look under a loop)

so i cannot force it to bootloader if i need to enter recovery if i end in a bootloop

do you guys know how to change so that it always boots into the bootloader?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] exb0:
afaik there's no way to "always boot into bootloader". Just like the posters above me said, repair that vol down key.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuchi:
see the problem is that its not the volume down button that is broken but the tin that holds it to the print board... trust me i had it with highly skilled people and they told me "sorry but we cannot fix that... we can short it while the phone is apart but once put together it cannot be fixed without a machine solder from the fabric"

so thats why i want to force it into the bootloader everytime or atleast change so that it only requires volume+ and power
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
i believe you would need to hack the bootloader for that :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
Why would you want to? Why don't you just reboot the phone into bootloader while it's on?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
lol, because it might be in a bootloop + ADBD not running
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Xfanatic:
But to always boot into the bootloader for that rare case? Luckily I have only had a true bootloop once and I flash new ROMs all the time. It sounds like he might just need to stick with a nice stable ROM and hope for the best.

Is the phone still under manufacturer warranty?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Wouldnt that just cause a bootloop in itself? Since leaving Bootloader will cause your phone to reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Herman makes a good point.

I think we all agree that OP should fix keys, period.

Sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theuchi:
hmm you might be right on that... what about changing the required buttons to hold down to get into the bootloader can that be changed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Like i said:

- normally, you can access fastboot through a button combo, regardless of what recovery, kernel, rom, is installed

- logically, bootloader takes care of that

which means you would need a custom bootloader to alter currently defined button combo.

Hi,

I have an xperia active, and I'm going to root it; have anyone any tips/ things to do before rooting?

I was thinking about backup firmware/kernel, but i found that is possible only if you have root permissions, is it correct?

As you can immagine I'm a bit worried about voiding warranty (my phone is 2 weeks old now), so I'm trying to understand how to backup everything in case I've to revert to a stock phone.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
For backing up apps individually

I suggest Titanium Backup from Play Store

And if you want to back up your whole firmware with kernel...

Then make nandroid backup via Clockworkmod Recovery

Hit thanks if you think I helped :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] stanlin salu:
Titanium backup wont work, without ROOT, he was asking, how to do those before rooting, answer is impossible:eek:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
CWM is only possible with cwm installed (needs rooted phone or unlocked bootloader).

So you want to backup the original ftf file (all files+kernel)?

There should be a repair option in pc companion and it will download the whole firmware again in a folder on your pc. This is the original firmware, so try this ;)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
Copies of stock firmware and kernel are already out there.

Just download that, flashtool and read how to use it in case something goes wrong
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] nge88:
Thank you all,

now I'm more prone to root my phone :D

As expected, is impossible to backup firmware/kernel directly before rooting, but the repair option in pc companion is very interesting way to download official relases.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mindnumbinglyfun:
ive tried every fix from this forum and anything google turned up. im completely stuck and need your help. here is what ive tried.

when i had the stock rom, after rooting i managed to get it to work until my next rom by uninstalling/reinstalling and installing kies on the pc. since then (2 roms later) no luck. un/reinstalled drivers, kies un/reinstall tried alternate drivers offered here and there, enabled the "view phantom/disconnected devices" option in device manager and uninstalled anything samsung, removed all registery keys related to samsung, and any remaining file on my computer related to samsung. ran registry cleaner and rebooted. started from scratch. nothing has worked.

(forgot to add that i did try usb debugging, and i do not have quick charge

what else can i do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypera:
Have you tried on different ports and/or another computer and have check that the cable is "good?"
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
There were a few other threads on this not too long ago, I can't remember if they found a fix or not but you could try searching and seeing if you can find the threads. I really wish I could remember the fix.... I believe in one of them the person had enabled USB fast charging, this was a while back when USB fast charging wasn't disabled on reboot I believe, and then he flashed a different ROM without turning it off and had to restore a backup and turn fast charge off. I believe that was one of the fixes, but its 3:55 AM and everything's a little fuzzy.

Hi Guys,

I've had my S3 for a couple of months now, but i've found that i'm occasionally experiencing some corruption when viewing online Videos (guessing they're Flash vids). I have the latest Official Firmware, rooted with Franco Kernel - though this did happen before i rooted. It doesnt happen everytime, and even videos on the same website will play and then some don't. Has anyone else seen this before, have any ideas on how to fix it? Attached a screenshot of what happens.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IroniX2:
Same here on a Sammy jellybean rom, i don't recall seeing this on aosp based Roms, I might be wrong though.

I did notice a work around though, the "corruption" only happens (or mostly) at 480p videos, so if you change the quality to 360p or 720p it should work as usual.

Hope this helps.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] DennisFrea:
Hello, this is my first thread here. I want to share my experience using android lol. I'm a noob, so this is maybe for noob too :p.

First, you need to be on stock rom, then go to cwm, then backup your fresh stock rom.

Now, try install a custom rom with custom kernel inside it. Then you want to go back to stock rom. Follow this.

Go to your stock rom files (PDA...blabla, MODEM....blabla, CSC....blabla), and open your PDA..blabla using winrar or whatever and extract the boot.img inside it to your sdcard. DON'T PUT IT IN A FOLDER.

Next, you need to download SGYbiCWM.zip below. Then, go into cwm.

1. Wipe data then make sure that system is mounted (look at mount and storage).

2. Install zip from sdcard and choose SGYbiCWM.zip

3. Then go to backup and restore - advanced restore. And restore system, data and cache from your backup of stock rom. (Don't restore your boot.img because you may get failed to restore boot.img of your backup of stock rom.

4. Wipe data again :p then reboot.

5. If stuck, try reinstalling SGYbiCWM.zip from cwm then reboot.

I'm a noob, so please guide me if I'm wrong. And, sorry for bad English :p.

Tools.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
instructions seem accurate. CWM 5.0.6.2

does not restore the kernel & init_rd. So SGYbiCWM does it manually.

But remember, under some kernels like MT 2.0 even SGYbiCWM does not work, so to restore a stock kernel under such circumstances you must issue the "dd" command inside SGYbiCWM manually in a root shell, or maybe as a script.

In fact, you may find a root shell script more handy than SGYbiCWM or CWM backup/restore.

instead of restoring cache you may want to wipe it. restoring sd-ext never worked here, so link2sd is problematic.

to sum up: in this menu : , read:

the advanced nandroid restore of

boot.img kernel

cache

sd-ext

is of almost no use in this version of CWM for SGY. see attached screenies for advanced restore in CWM
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] DennisFrea:
Yeah, I have tried restoring stock kernel in merruk latest kernel using SGYbiCWM one day and it seems like failed/ makes me bootloop :rolleyes:

Hey can I use this to install the new kernel like white kernel without restoring the backup
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] _akash:
Guys I installed cyanogenmod 7 (1.8)by whitexp successfully with white kernel 1.0.

Before installing cm7 I backed up my stock rom using cwm.

To install white kernel I used madteams cwm. Now I want to go back to stock rom from phone itself as I don't have a PC right now to use Odin.

I tried to install the stock kernel (boot.img) using sgybicwm.zip but wasn't successful.

And when I try to restore my nandroid backup through advanced restore >>restore system,

It says md5 mismatch...

Please help friends..

EDIT: got back to stock by odin..

I just did a silly thing while using odin..

First I selected all the three files and hit on start.

Everything went fine but there was no progress after that checking and files ok message that comes in left corner message box.

I waited for 10 minutes but no progress was showing on phone also, so I disconnected in between.

Well I was lucky that my phone booted up.

I tried another odin file and it worked.
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] DennisFrea:
yes, but maybe you want to install stock kernel (using SGYbiCWM.zip) before installing a custom kernel. then you can use the SGYbiCWM.zip to install a custom kernel in a stock kernel. Just put the custom kernel boot.img on your sdcard (not on a folder).

make sure that system is mounted when installing kernel (boot.img) or restoring backup...
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] _akash:
Yeah..

I tried everything.

Btw I am back on stock now..

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] DennisFrea:
did you use madteam's cwm? on this method, the cwm used is cwm_bla_bla.zip, so maybe you will try using it :D

when I was in stock rom, I backup using cwm. then I flash jellyblast. and now I want Hyperion. I'm new in this type of work. so I don't know what should I need to do. I have read ur post and I have notice that in my stock backup there's no modem or pda file. i got only 4 tar file(cache, system, android etc) 1 boot image and 1nendroid file. am i still able to go back to my stock. all i want is just to port to new custom rom . i don't care about my backup files. any easy solusion ?

sry 4 my bad english
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] DennisFrea:
about your problem, the pda or modem file is on your odin flashable files and not on your cwm backup files. You just only take the boot.img from pda files. Then, you flash it manually using SGYbicwm.zip, then restore the backup from cwm. Read the post carefully :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mai77:
ODIN

well, being able to reflash without the help of a PC & ODIN is a huge advantage.

So I believe flashing with SGY only and w/o ODIN is the easiest way to flash. But ODIN has extra capabilities of course. :cool:
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] DennisFrea:
yeah, without odin is more efficient :D

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] DennisFrea:
yes, but we only use the pda...blabla. open it using winrar or whatever, take the boot.img file and put it on your sdcard, then follow the instruction in post #1
