[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VIP1:
Hello,

I'm running CM10 (nightlies)

I would like to know if it is possible to install/flash Google apps 4.2 on a JB 4.1.2 based machine, when i tried it from the BBQtools it messed up all my rom and apps (even the keyboard started crashing) and i had to flash everything from the beggining...

So if it is possible hwo can i do it without messing it up... ?

b.t.w. i do not want to use JB4.2 on my device because the stability is very importent to me and there is no stable enough version yet.

thanks

Hi, have you same problem with wifi and GPS like me ?? I have same phone with 4.0.4 and GPS and wifi is very poor. Tnx
[Android General] Navazka:
I have same phone, with ICS 4.0.4 and wifi and GPS is fine, GPS fix without AGPS is done in two minutes, with AGPS in ten seconds. Wifi is same sensitivity like iPhone 4S, same signal from same router on same place :) I'd rather have the updated OS...
[LG Optimus Black] suleymanovemil8:
Hi!Can anyone tell me how use fastboot on our OB?And is it possible to use it on OB?
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
It needs to be included in bootloader. I think LG switched fastboot with their own alternative.

I know I've seen pictures and post about people stuck in fastboot mode with very old (V10*) firmware.
[LG Optimus Black] DeegRollerz:
You could put this is the build.prop

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

it would disable the LG icon and make it load a bit faster
[LG Optimus Black] N00BY0815:
Lol I hope you were trolling in the deep :D Otherwise try to google fastboot ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanJH:
I used the internarional toolkit v1.0 to root my phone the day after T-Mobile released it, and had minor stability issues frequently; if an app locked up, a battery pull was required to fix it, sometime "system" would request superuser access 8-10 times in a row before the phone would reboot itself, stuff like that. I wrote it off as something that I would worry about when I had more time to switch to a new ROM. Boy, do I regret waiting.

My phone locked up, like normal, and I performed a battery pull. When I replaced it and booted the device, I was greeted by a holo-style popup saying "Android is updating" or something to that effect. It would then load my lockscreen and respond for about 10 seconds before completely freezing again.

A full wipe fixed this, so I took this opportunity to switch to a different ROM. I lost my SMS' and all app data aside from the few Titanium backups I had. I don't know if the OS just borked itself, or if it somehow tried to download an OTA update, or what.

But if you experience these issues, or used the original international version of the toolkit with options 4-3-1, then you might want to switch to a custom ROM before it's too late.

Heeeeeed my waaaaarrrrnnniiiiinnnngggg...

EDIT: I guess I wasn't terribly clear due to my wording and being tired. Yes, I know doing a full wipe and flashing a ROM will cause me to lose my data. I was just saying that due to the fact that the only way to fix the device was a full wipe, I lost my data. All I'm saying really is to watch out for these issues or else you'll be in the same boat I was with no backups to restore from.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] EmceeGeek:
I don't understand. If you switch your ROM you're going to lose previous data unless you back it up. You do a backup before anything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] decalex:
Confused too - of course you're going to lose your data after a full wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] AllanJH:
I added a clarification to my first post. All I was saying was that if anyone else is having issues similar to mine, back up your data before it's too late, like it was for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] dailydriver:
No problems here. I rooted my SGN2 with v1.0.0 and just de-bloated all tmobile apps with Titanium since first day release and never had an issue. Of course, some apps don't work with the SGN2, but it just tries to start and then after a few seconds it comes back, but this probably has more to do with the apps. This also happens with custom roms too.

I'm now just using rooted stock debloated tmobile rom. Seems to run the best without any issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
might be off topic but i noticed when i tried to go back to factory with odin it flashed the rom and i lost root but it did not erase data at all. is this normal when using odin? or do i need the PIT file to go 100% stock?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Hoezack:
I rooted threw odin. Whats the difference threw toolkits?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
whats with all of these 'warning" threads lately? is this user error or a legitimate fault of the device because at this point im ready to swap this out for a gs3.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ionic7:
Its people taking an isolated incident blowing it out of proportion the phones fine I rooted that way and have had no issues disregard this loons rant
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] deeznutz1977:
You must not know the gs3 is where all this came from

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] fix-this!:
I had a gs3 on verizon and never had any issues after i backed up my efs with terminal manager. Flashed tons of roms too including aosp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] JaguarXT:
Efs is the only thing that worry me with Galaxy Note 2. Several methods of backing up. But seems that it is unclear if any method is really backing up efs within Galaxy Note 2. There seems to be differences between GS3 efs and GN2 efs.

No real solid clear evidence or clarification which and if any efs backup method actually backs up Galaxy Note 2 efs. And no real solid clarification on how to restore Galaxy Note 2 efs. And no solid clear evidence or clarification that if the Galaxy Note 2 efs restore method actually restores the efs correctly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rcraig617:
If I get the gs3 from metropcs will I be able to install roms from here onto the phone? I see there's roms and stuff for sprint and other carriers but nothing really about metro so any info about what I can do with the metro version of the phone would be helpful because I might buy it.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mobei:
Hey guys,

actually I didn't want to create a thread for this as I thought I might resolve it myself or that I'll find the answer elsewhere.. But after 5 attempts with each different methods, I don't know what to try anymore.

I have the Xperia MIni (st15) and I want to try the Smultronic ROM. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1796272). My attempts looked like this:

I flashed the ICS .587 stock ROM via Flashtool to get a clean thing to start with (including full wipe)

I root by flashing the .562 kernel, run the Doomlord script to gain root access and reflash the .587 stock kernel

I install CWM (xparts or cwm-install script, both works and doesn't make any difference)

I choose the smultronic 5.0 ".zip" in CWM (no wipe) and follow the instructions in Aroma installer. (Unlocked Bootloader chosen, as I have one).

The installation finishes successfully after a few seconds (!) and I am proposed to reboot.

The result of this is that my phone will get stuck at the SONY screen (>20 min.), which up to my knowledge means that there is no boot process for a ROM, just the bootloader showing it is alive.

I tried a bunch of things, like starting from a "used" stock ROM, fully wipe the system (+Dalvik) before starting the installation or choosing another Recovery installation method. No problem to recover any stock rom, but Smultronic still don't want to start when I try the above again.

I really feel a bit stupid, as this ROM is actually made for my particular device, and I don't manage to install it. Anyone finds the error? :D

Thanks a lot.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
If your bootloader is unlocked, why are you using xparts to install cwm instead of a custom kernel? :confused:

To your problem, boot in cwm, do the wipe data/factory reset, install the rom, reboot and see what happens. If it's not working, flash another custom kernel or download an older version of the rom...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] m4nz:
Download and flash a custom kernel which will work with the rom.. Try mesa kernel.. Flash it using flashtool... Now do complete wipe and install the rom again...

[LG Optimus 4X HD] dfreake:
how do i disable it?? just delrte on build prop??
[LG Optimus 4X HD] cartermg120:
Yeh just remove the text you put in and reboot
[LG Optimus 4X HD] xslinx:
Can I disable the Hw buttons ?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] cartermg120:
Not sure I just turned the lights off so you can't see them
[LG Optimus 4X HD] xslinx:
Yes I also turn off the backlight of the keys. but I hope ther is any chance to disable the funktion of the keys because I touch them sometimes :silly:
[LG Optimus 4X HD] tomanlam:
thx for the tip!!! but can i change the height of the nav bar, it's occupying too much space:o
[LG Optimus 4X HD] cartermg120:
Not sure maybe you could change then LCD density?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] muellersmattes:
i have seen soft keys mods for devices where you can customize it (like adding a menu button, change the heigth etc.). But I don't know how that is done. For now we at least have a way to enable the soft keys. It's not working properly with LGs apps (like the dialer), so some modding would have to be done anyway. I've done some searching and found the framework-res.apk method, where you can at least change the heigth of the navbar. It's found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1364757 . If you can succesfully use it, please share the result with us.

Is there any method to use multiuser mode on android phone (i am talking about android phone... Not android tablet). As 4.2.1 supports multiuser only on tabs but as xda developers are very clever.. So they must have a way for this too!! :)

i unlocked my phone,updated hboot, and flashed revolution hd rom, whne it botted the phone gets stuck on flight mode how do i fix it?

Reflash the boot.img.

Also wipe cache+dalvik cache.
[HTC One X] Dmwitz:
If the other suggestions do not help check to see that the contacts that read the sim card are not damaged. I installed and re-installed about 4 roms on my old sgsI to solve this problem. In the end it was a bent contact pin!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryhailey:
So currently I have the GS3, and today I am eligible for an upgrade on one of my 5 lines, two of which my wife and I still have unlimited data (the line with the eligible upgrade is not unlimited) so I am wondering is there a way to upgrade that line and give my wife the GS3 and me get the Gn2 without me loosing unlimited?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] zombieplanalpha:
you cannot get a phone at discounted price and keep unlimited data. You can buy one for full retail price and keep your data or get the discount and switch to tiered data plan. Or start a business account and you would still have access to unlimited data but it would cost around 150 bucks a month per line to have unlimited everything or at least i am pretty sure business customers sill have this option. If you end up seriously considering that i can call my business rep and ask him if you want just PM me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryhailey:
If I upgraded the line with the upgrade available (which is already a limited data plan) and got the gn2 on that line and then preformed a hardware swap with my GS3 I would think I would get to keep unlimited or am I wrong here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
edit misread post...srry
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
I've read somewhere else long before I posted the message on ACForums and a Very Reliable (Laugh) rep said that unlimited data users would go to a 2GB in may.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mi7chy:
If that happens going to dump Verizon for Tmobile and paying full for the phone full price without contract makes it easier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryhailey:
Sounds like I can keep Unlimited.

Sorry for the long post but here is what I got from the Verizon rep chat. I will keep the post updated to let you all know how it worked out.

Your RealTime session ID is 589747938.

You are now chatting with 'Elisabeth'

Elisabeth: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?

Ryan: Ya i have a question

Ryan: So today I am eligible for an upgrade on one of my 5 lines, two of which still have unlimited data (the line with the eligible upgrade is not unlimited) so I am wondering If I upgraded the line with the upgrade available (which is already a limited data plan) and got a new phone on that line and then, preformed a hardware swap with my current phone would I get to keep unlimited data?

Elisabeth: I will be happy to help you with your questions today!

Elisabeth:

Yes you would be able to activate the phone to whatever number you want and not affect the unlimited data.

Elisabeth: Let's start that upgrade process today!

Elisabeth: What type of phone are you interested in today?

Ryan: The galaxy note 2

Elisabeth: That is an awesome phone!

Elisabeth: The order process is quick and easy online.

Elisabeth: And you can activate the phone yourself.

Ryan: I think im going to do it in store

Elisabeth: When you purchase the phone in store they activate it under the line that the upgrade is for.

Elisabeth: I recommend proceeding with the upgrade online today!

Ryan: Is it at all possible that i can order from you and do in store pickup?

Ryan: and still activate it on my own?

Elisabeth: I would have to see if in store pick is available where you live.

Elisabeth: What state do you live in?

Ryan: Arizona

Elisabeth: Let me check.

Elisabeth: What you can get today is free two day shipping when you order online because in store pick up is not available in your state.

Elisabeth: Would you like to proceed with the order.

Ryan: Im going to have to pass right now my wife broke her phone and she is freaking out without one on the weekend.

Elisabeth: I understand! I am the exact same way!

Elisabeth: Is there anything else I can help you with today?

Ryan: No that should be it, thank you for your help i really appreciate it.

Elisabeth: Can I give you a suggestion?

Ryan: yes

Elisabeth: When you buy the phone in the store tell them it is for Christmas and you will activate it later. Then after you leave call customer care and activate the phone under the number you want.

Elisabeth: Do you want the number to customer care?

Ryan: yes please.

Elisabeth: Their number is 1-800-922-0204.

Elisabeth:

You will be able to keep your unlimited data that way.

Ryan: Awesome. Thank you so much you are amazing Elisabeth.

Elisabeth: Your Welcome!

Elisabeth: Have a wonderful day!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dch921:
You are correct. This is exactly what I did. I ordered mine online but had to exchange it in the store do to slight screen seperation below the home button. I even explained what I was doing at the store and they had no problem upgrading a regular line and switching it to my unlimited one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryhailey:
Ya she was telling me it depends on who you talk to, but I'm buying at best buy and those guys are idiots for the most part Imo so I am going to do it as the Verizon rep told me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dch921:
Use your upgrade and get the note 2. Then just swap sim cards and you will be all set. Dont need to do anything else. Thats all I did and I had to explain it to the Verizon reps that it works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Apoyyo:
I actually work in Best Buy Mobile. You can do what is called an alternate upgrade. You just take the upgrade from the available line and place the upgraded device on the desired phone number. I do them all the time for customers in the same situation as you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
correct...the only thing you wont be able to do is use the upgrades on the unlimited lines when they are elidgeable, without losing unlimited data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Apoyyo:
Exactly. You are basically postponing the inevitable to a degree, but since those lines are already on a tiered plan, you have nothing to lose. As long as those other lines don't need new smartphones soon then you are good. Just keep in mind if you ever upgrade a line that had unlimited data then kiss your unlimited data goodbye.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryhailey:
I was thinking about this I think it may bug me that it won't change on my account. Kind of a stupid reason but still lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryhailey:
From what I've been hearing it all depends on the rep you talk to. Maybe I will get lucky.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaredb03:
I have transferred 2 upgrades to my phone number and bought the iPhone 5(Which I sold and made about $800 on), and now the GNote, and have not lost the unlimited data even though it said I would both times.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Apoyyo:
To be honest is not a matter of getting lucky. The option for an alternate upgrade is built right into our activation system for Verizon. As long as you tell the associate what exactly you are wanting to do it well be fine. Just say you want to take the upgrade on line ending in 1234 and put the new hardware on line ending in 5678 without changing the plan. I can personally guarantee it will work no problem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dch921:
It does change on your account as soon as the phone activates itself on boot after sim card swap
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dms76:
My line is available for upgrade in January and I did not want to lose my unlimited data. So I actually purchased the GN2 on my father's account which still had an NE2 also. Once the process was complete the guy deactivated my thunderbolt and activated the GN2 on my line. The rep also setup my SIM card for recycling so If I ever wanted to activate my TBolt again I could. If unlimited data goes away maybe I'll get a Asus PhonFab over the summer and sell the GN2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ryhailey:
Thanks everyone for the advice. Finally got myself the titanium gray GN2 so far I'm loving it. And I just did the sim swap it worked out great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nutpn:
I had a upgrade on my unlimited line, so I swapped the upgrade to my flip phone and bought the Note2, I activated on my flip phone and ran it 2 days- then this morning I went online and reactivated my flipphone on the original line that had the note2 now and then turned around and put my sim from my gal nexus with unlimited data in the Note2 and I still have my unlimited plan!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ranmakei:
2 line family plan, upgrade discount on line with unlimited data.

I had 2 lines on my family plan and the discounted upgrade was on the line with the unlimited data :(.

However, this is what I did to keep the unlimited data.

Go to My Account on verizon's website. Select upgrade devices. Click the option to transfer the upgrade elgibility to other line (the line with limited data). Proceed with online order (I did a preorder). When you get your new phone activate it under the line that has the limited data. Then swap the sims if you can. If you can't swap the sims, you will just have to go to the store and have them do it. At this point since you already activated it you should be fine when they switch the phones(I didn't do this since all I had to do was swap sims).

I disabled camera(stock app) because am not using, since I'm using this other app as a default camera

Gallery app disappeared after that and I cant get it back

Doesnt show in apps (drawer and settings), Rom toolbox also doesnt see it

how can I get it back ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iburnhearts:
How did you disable it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
The reason the gallery disappeared when you disabled your camera is because they are part of the same .apk. I guess you should try reflashing your ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
Or adb the .apk to system/app and chmod to 644.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Project: Awesome:
Or just copy the apk to system/app and change permissions to rw-r-r
