[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheATHEiST:
Wow! You're an extremely ignorant little boy.

Even samsung and google roms are BUGGY and on MANY, MANY, MANY occasions its actually devs on XDA that have fixed the bugs FIRST! or even devs on XDA that have introduced features in custom roms first and AFTER they have been put into stock roms.

Whether they are paid by Samsung or not is 100% completely irrelevant to whether custom roms are better then stock or not. It all depends on the actual rom in question and your preference for AOSP, AOSP Based, Stock or stock based and what features you want because is just about every single custom rom there are MORE features then in stock.

Lmao!!! Dude, you completely and utterly fail. XDA existed and was HUGE ...LONG... before Samsung ever created a "smart" phone.

Its obviously you who needs to know what hes talking about because its pretty obvious you cant even tell the difference between your arse and your elbow.

Chameleon Set up for the GS3

DISCLAIMER: Please be aware that first and foremost Chameleon Launcher, and PacMan Rom are not my work. this post is only a tutorial on how to setup Chameleon launcher on our GS3.Also I am not responsible and you accept the responsibility, and that i am nor liable should something happen to your phone during the setup process, If you use this method of setup you are Solely responsible.

Hello, this is a tutorial on how to set up Chameleon Launcher on your Galaxy s3:) ( Im sure there are a few people who have been interested in Chameleon Launcher....). Anyways, I actually have found I like the feel a lot more when comparing it to the stock or standard Launchers for the Phone. I am Using Pacman ROM just because i've found it works best with this rom simply because of all the customization that comes with the ROM. I also found that Chameleon Launcher Reallyworks in both tablet, and phone mode with this rom.......and only with this rom....why.....well i honestly have no idea. Any who lets get to the set up process.

​

​

Part 1: Initial Setup

You Must be Rooted ( Included in the Recovery Link)

Install CWM or TWRP(Custom Recovery) TWRPCWM

Download PACMAN Rom With 4.2 GAPPS Found Here

Either Purchase Chameleon Launcher Or Download from 3rd party source( Please be aware i do not support illegal methods of aquring apps) Message me for more info.PlayStore Download

​

Part 2:Rom and Chameleon Setup

Open Up Your Custom Recovery ( TWRP or CWM)

Back Everything up....... BACK UP EVERYTHING

Install Pacman Rom and 4.2 Gapps you should have downloaded from above

Go to Avdvanced -> fix Permissions With in your recovery.

Reboot.

Do the initial Activation setup

Go to Settings-> Paranoid Settings-> Launch and select Tablet UI( 192 DPI, 5 Icons, Clock Small buttons No app change) and then reboot

Go back to Settings-> Paranoid Settings-> and Select Interface, Then Change all the DPI settings to 192 DPI. and then reboot.

Go back to Settings-> Paranoid Settings-> and then Apps..... Find your Keyboard application and change the DPI to default standard 320 or what ever you feel comfortable with. ( no reboot necessary but is recommended)

Now Install Chameleon Launcher

AND YOU are Finished enjoy.

​

UPDATES

I will be adding a list of compatible roms this method also works with. On top of that a flashable update template for the roms compatible...... So if you purchased the Application ill explain how to extract the apk and and use the flashable template ill provide. The flashable template are for users who want to get rid of there stock launcher and replace it with chameleon.

​

Well That should do it if you have any question please send me a PM and if you like this tutorial please shoot a thanks. :)​

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] darksaibot88:
So It wouldnt work at all with ParanoidAndroid?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] globed:
It will work....but only in tablet mode, putting it in phone mode will cause the app to crash and force close.... for some reason it was really buggy and force closed... feel free to try it and let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MoreGone:
looks good, might give chameleon a try!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheBurgh:
So far so good. Got to give globed some props for a very cool launcher. I will check back if I have any problems

Hey Guys,

I know there is another thread, but there hasn't been any activity for about a year now.

So i'm starting a new one.

Recently I decided to use my DS5 as a Mini Tablet, as im tired of lugging my Playbook or HP Touchpad around.

Did a few mods/tweaks to make the UI feel like a tablet (Gingerbread).

ROM: PCM7-Streak - Pure Cyanogenmod 7

CPU:1344mhz (u20 kernel)

DPI:140

Status Bar Down Position

Firefox w/ Android Tablet User Agent

V6 Supercharged!

I was wondering, if anyone is doing the same and which ROM are you using on a daily basis?

Thanks!

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trueno92:
a While back i installed cm9 with camera enabled by Dorregaray, but it never worked. I was prompted with the error stating:

Camera Error - Cannot connect to camera.

Then the HP Touchpad world went CM10, and I got on that boat.

Now with CM10, the camera build was just released and I have tried it again.

I am still getting the Camera Error - Cannot connect to camera.

I have tried the following:

Formatted:

/data

/system

/cache

Wiped:

Dalvik cache

reinstalled cm10 + camera experimental only, and camera is still not recognized.

I rebooted into WebOS, and the camera still works fine in FreeCam.

is there anything im missing to get the camera working correctly in the new CM10 builds?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] havikx:
Did you acmeinstall3 or 2? Could be bad flash from low system memory.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SGA-:
What recovery are you using? Maybe try the new CWM6 by jcsullins. I've had issues with all the recoveries either not flashing correctly or not wiping correctly. This might be an instance of that.

Sometimes I'll wipe all data three times and still boot into a "perfect" copy off all my apps and settings... this often corrupts the things I am trying to install, and it only gets it right every 4th or 5th time.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adca14:
I have the exact same problem. The camera works fine in webos but doesn't work on the december 2 nightly. I'm using cwm5 and performed a factory reset, wiped cache and wiped the dalvik cache. And I get the same error. :( I'll post a logcat.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfernan:
+1 ...Same issue here. In my case me, the stock camera and nexus 7 launcher does not work. However Paper Camera works the first time I open it. If I shutdown and open up again, I get camera error I moved from CM9 nightly (no camera) to CM10 by

a) Making a nandroid backup

b) Uninstall CM9 using Acmeuninstall

c) Install CM9 using ACME3

d) Restore nandroid backup done in a)

e) Install CM10 using ACME3 (update-cm-10-20121205 and Camera Preview 5).

Hope we figure this one out.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ph3d:

I flashed Jscullins (12/05 ROM) and preview 5 using acme3. Followed the instructions from user RolandDeschain79 on rootzwiki
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstar:
I did the following flashed 12/05 Rom plus gapps 10/11 , booted and camera app was there then flashed preview 5 all with CWM 6 and have no problems it takes pictures ,is the right way up and Skype works well provided I have my volume set to about 80% otherwise the person I'm calling gets feedback.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfernan:

Does your camera work in webos?, it may be the cable, I've heard a couple people needed to snap there camera back in place.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Dorregaray_:
Normally when camera is working on web-os should also work in CM9 and CM10. If it's not working you need to check the system and kernel logs - there should be some hint while the driver isn't loaded. You need the terminal app installed and run "su && dmesg > /sdcard/dmesg.txt && logcat -d > /sdcard/logcat.txt". Post the logs to pastebin or somewhere and give me the link - I can give a look on that.

I have tried to install the 4EXTRecoveryUpdater.apk into my phone and it forced me to try the 4EXT Recovery Control for three days.

1. While I am trying to perform "online install" and "check for news", it required me to install Busybox (however I haven't rooted my phone).

2.The app just shows error and turn off and back to the main screen when I try to connect to the 4ext's server.

Can anymore answer what can I do? Should I just wait for the three day so that the 4EXT Recovery Control will expire?

Is there any setting I can do to fix the "error" while connecting to the 4ext's server?

Really Thanks a lot.:angel:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
4ext updater is related to the recovery app. If you are not rooted and S-OFF, you won't be able to run an app that modifies a partition such as recovery. The app will not expire but won't work either...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mushtafa:
As far as I know, the app can't gain access to the recovery partition without root privileges. I could be wrong though...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stc01023:
Thanks for above, I am trying to install that before rooting my device, may be I try ClockWorkMod Recovery then.:crying:
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
You can't install a recovery, CWM or 4ext, if you don't have permission to write to a partition. You can only get permission to write to a partition with root and S-OFF (AAHK) or an unlocked bootloader (HTCDEV).

The whole point of rooting (tethering and a couple other goodies aside) is to allow you to install a custom recovery and use it to install custom ROMs.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stc01023:
Oh....As I am an idiot on technology, Just seeing whether can be more safe to root my phone........:crying:

I'm under 4.1.2 and since some times my home button (the middle one) stop working..

Does someone know what hardware part I can change to fix this ?

This is called bootloop I guess. Suggest u remove the battery and after putting it back go into recovery mode ie vol up + home + power simultaneously. Factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache from advanced and reinstall miui v 4 via cwm. This should work.

Remove the battery? The battery is built in or do you mean to gutt the phone?

it only goes to stock recovery not CWM.

Does anyone else GPS always keep the blue circle around the GPS dot? Seems like mine never fully locks.

View attachment 1536172
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Two things:

1) it looks like you're indoors, and thus should expect the lock to be weaker

2) I have yet to see any device ever get such a strong lock that the circle disappears completely

I have personally seen my Thunderbolt reach a 1 meter accuracy lock and if you zoom in as far as you did, there's still a circle around my location dot. So drop all hopes of the circle completely disappearing, it won't. Ever. Not trying to sound harsh but it is just the way it is. Believe me, it bothers me too especially when I'm using Navigation and I can see just how much area it can calculate wrongly.

Hi guys,

I searched the QA section but I didn´t find anything suitable. So here´s my issue:

I have a broken screen on my GNex GSM. The digitizer and the OLED is fine, only the outer glass layer is broken.

That´s really annoying so I want to exchange it. Here´s my plan:

Buy a broken GNex GSM on eBay where the screen unit is still ok. Do the replacement with my current phone and be happy again :)

I´m not quite sure if this will work. I teared my GNex apart and found out there is some electronic circuits glued between the OLED and the magnesium frame.I don´t know if the circuits affect any data or IMEI or anything like that.

Is there somebody out there you has experience with this procedure? Will I lose data? Will I lose root capabilities? Will my IMEI change?

Kind regards

Christian

I turn off my phone at night and charge it with the wall charger. I understand it being warm while the battery is actually charging but when I wake up in the morning after 8 hours on the charger it is still warm. That doesn't seem normal to me considering the phone is turned off. Anyone else experience this behavior or is something wrong with my phone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batano:
where do you put your phone overnight? is it covered? my actual Phone (HTC 7 Pro - ouch) gets warm whenever i load it, but it´s turned on all night. Also i burn my fingers from time to time because i cover it with my blanket by accident.

I think you used phones before which experience did you made? or is it the first time that you turn off your Phone for chargeing (i never did)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leenypost:
I charge the phone on my desk so it is not covered by anything. Previous phones I had in a case while charging overnight so I'm not sure if they got warm. It's not burning hot or anything, just warm to the touch. I just figure if the phone is off, once the battery reaches 100% charging should stop and the phone should be room temperature.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] alkasesser:
heh... yeah, 'cause a screenshot isn't hard to photochop. ;)

Honestly, everyone's battery life is going to differ depending on the apps installed, background processes, number of accounts they sync, etc. I've had decent battery life on CleanROM in general, but I couldn't tell you how it compares to AOSP with the screen on. My screen time usually only accounts for ~25% of time.

Not that I have much experience, but there are kernels out there that can help increase battery life. Indirectly of course.

Then, there's always this handy thread

It seems that there are just too many variables to do a just comparison between the ROMs. However, the link provided above^ is a great way to help increase the battery life overall! I find it easy to just turn off mobile data when i'm not using it, and when i want to search the web etc. just flip it back on!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ingenious247:
This is the second time this has happened. The first time I thought maybe I forgot to turn it off, which still would have been weird since I usually get fantastic battery life. But this time I am certain that this is what happened.

Last night I turned on my Nexus 7 briefly - I had about a 90% charge. About 10 minutes later, I turned the tablet off. Completely off. When I woke up this morning, it wouldn't start at all, which I thought was weird but not too uncommon from other reports I have seen. So I held the power button for about a minute and a half, still nothing.

I plugged in the charger, and sure enough the battery had completely drained. It started charging without any problems, however I am wondering.. How in the hell does the battery go from 90% to completely drained while the tablet is OFF??

Never had this happen before with ANY mobile device.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regalpimpin:
Just posted this same thing in another thread and what I had to do to fix it. Don't know if its a guaranteed fix until some more people try it. But I'm back in business.

I was having serious issues with my 16gb. Very hard to turn on, sometimes hold power for 10 seconds, sometimes 30, sometimes 5.. all over the place. And it only started after I believe the 4.2 update.

Also, it was draining battery while off. Charge it overnight, leave it off the entire time, come back 8 hours later. Turn it on and only have 50% battery.

Sometimes the charging animation would lock up while off as well. And if the device was turned off, and you plug it in to charge, it turns on. It shouldn't.

I think I've narrowed it down to the bootloader. My bootloader was at 4.13, and Flashing the 4.2.1 and 4.1.2 factory images didn't help.

Last night I finally fixed it. I ran the 4.1.1 factory image. Which put the 3.34 bootloader back in place. This wipes the device. So I flashed the recovery back and then reflashed Paranoid Android 2.99B6. All is good now, it turns on like it should, doesnt come on when plugged in, etc.

Meanwhile a new 32gb I have I can flash the 4.2.1 factory image, and I have no issues with that one.

Which bootloader are you on?
