[HTC One V] andreq85:
Might sounds like a stupid question.... but..

How would someone upgrade/update his current Paranoid Rom? (or any custom Rom...)

I installed it on ~Nov 27th and since then there's a new version available.

Should I just re-flash the kernel (if it's new) and re-install the Rom in recovery?

Do I really have to do a factory reset again?

I might only have one post, but don't be afraid to go technical. I've been lurking and reading around here for a while, it's kind of a shame I can't post anywhere else just to comment on some roms or offer my help (programmer as a living...nothing as complex as a kernels or roms, but still useful :P)

Thanks in advance.

download the latest version and flash it in recovery after flashing boot.img from fastboot
[HTC One V] whoshotjr2006:
You can do a dirty flash, which is flashing directly over what you have now, of you can use one of the backup apps like titanium and back up your settings, then go into recovery and wipe system data and cache and flash the ROM. Doing a dirty flash you might run into problems, not that's not a for sure thing.
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
Or do this

I hope u have twrp recovery if not get it

Now boot in boot loader mode

Wipe

Wipe rom it only clears the rom nothing else and don't reboot

[General Questions and Answers] amandavail:
First i am totally new to android systems. I purchased a Curtis Klu 8025 tablet. My 4 year old somehow wiped out the operating system. I mean totally wiped it out. It power on, but NOTHING. i have tried the reset button. I have tried the holding power+volume buttons. Nothing happens. I am really needing to load some kind of OS on it. I just have no clue how to go about it. If it was a PC i would have had it fixed in no time. But i have no idea what rooting, flashing, or anything of that nature even means. I read a guide and I sort of understand that I need to load a Rom or something. However the Curtis company does not have any download or support online. I do not have a warranty. I just know there has to be something i can download and use my sd card to load it onto the tablet but I have not been able to find it. Please help me!

My bro's galaxy r has a weird problem

The screen randomly goes off bt rest all things are working

He even gets a call during that indicating that sim card and speaker are working bt the screen does not

When the screen goes off only status bar is visible

I can pull down the notification bar just once and then it also disappears

Just black screen

Need to restart it then

Happened thrice within 3hrs

He is on ics hongkong fw

Kernel 4.1 by ardatdat

Device is not oc
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
What do I think is, Your phone got hung while doing this. Check out what application you have installed recently & remove that.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] doctor_droid:
It happens while using simple apps like touchwiz launcher ( stock)

Is there any way of knowing that its not a hardware problm?? Should I switch to some other rom to check this?

It is really irritating

Who wants to restart his device every now n then
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Just clear the data of launcher, if problem persist do this->

1) Clear data of previous launcher.

2) Clear default from previous launcher.

3) wipe cache & dalvik cache.

3) Download any latest launcher, like apex or next launcher beta.

4) select the latest launcher by default launcher.

5) Restart.

Hope it will solve your problem.;)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] doctor_droid:
I meant it happens any time during simple procedure of home screen scrolling or during some apps like messaging or during call

Still I will change the launcher and report back

This is bug of hongkong stock fw. I have also faced it. Device freezes sometimes and only notification drawer comes down for one time and when you send it up u will see small line of bottom of notification drawer at status bar. And phone will totally freeze. You will have to reboot.

Its not hw problem at all its just a fw bug. Just change to any other ROM of ur choice or if u want more fun change to CM10 or PAC ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] doctor_droid:
I have a small correction

M on Singapore fw

I just need to test it wid another rom

Is cm9 stable available for galaxy r?
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Try cm10. Its great.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] doctor_droid:
Okies

Brother I was just going through the cm10 discussion forum

Has adam left the further development of cm10??

And I really dun bother about official or unofficial cm10.... Imo galaxy r is still powerful than most of the devices released till date...even my own xperia u.. Released a year later after sgr

To b on point

Will v get a stable cm10 wid everything working??

M nt demanding just asking...:)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
Maybe possible this bug is present in other fws also.

There is no CM9 available for our device. But there are many other ROMs available.

If you want ICS based ROMs u can go for MIUI, angeeks, mazel etc.

There are JB ROMs available also like CM10, PAC, AOKP but they have some minor bugs.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
Hi everyone!

I changed font using ROM Toolbox (Usually like using SPB Shell 3D + Galaxy Pack + Planer font), and once it asked me to reboot, it did. The thing is, I went into bootloop. Now, I tried to apply what I've been reading regarding Android partitions, flashing and booting, and gave it some thought, instead of just flashing everything again (which is what I would have done in this situation a week ago).

Now, I assumed stuff like fonts would be stored in the system partition, so I went to fastboot and flashed system.img only. This did the trick, and everything seems to work fine.

So, I could quickly fix it, but since I've been reading and trying to learn, I'm writing this more as means to see if I was right, more than the solution itself, if my way of processing the issue was right (who knows, maybe it was luck xD), and if everything is as I think, meaning the phone is just like before I attempted the font change: I had not done any other changes to the system before, and ROM Toolkit was the first thing I installed, so I'm assuming before this issue, system partition was unchanged.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ivan Fuentes Hagar:
Ok, so I found where I messed up with my "solution". And it's logical... root access was, of course, in system, meaning I also lost root. So, just flashed the SuperSU package again.

Anything else I'm overseeing that might come back to me in the future? I feel that at least whatever happens, I'll have a notion on why it occurred.

-Removed Google account and added it again, rebooted

-Several factory resets

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I'm sure this topic has been discussed before but I want to know which keyboard you guys like more? I like the fact you can use the Samsung keyboard in one handed mode, but the flow through space function is neat on SwiftKey Flow. I also think that the prediction is a bit better than the stock keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] UCLAKoolman:
The stock keyboard doesn't auto replace. That alone makes it completely unusable for me. Swiftkey is what I use, and flow makes it easier to use with one hand...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Yeah I have to agree with you, and the predictions that SwiftKey does is top notch. I am also a fan of the number pad.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bigbrotherbear:
Same here, if the stock keyboard had a auto correct, i wouldn't need to look around for an alternative keyboard. It's just a shame that swiftkey doesn't work in all text boxes (ie. play store searching)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
Which version of SwiftKey BETA are you guys using? I downloaded the standard version, but there is also a tablet version. I have SwiftKey X Tablet version, as I think it's better than the regular one for the Note.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jow350:
I tried both the regular and tablet version of SwiftKey a couple of weeks ago and both looked pretty much the same, apparently the tablet functions are not enabled on the Note II. I decided against them at the time because they did not have swipe.

Installed SwiftKey Flow Beta yesterday morning (standard, not tablet, based on past experience and it was stated that landscape does not work yet in tablet beta version) and LOVE IT, it's definitely a keeper. Have been using it extensively and have not run into any apparent issues yet (including in Google Play search box, it works fine for me).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bt430:
I'm a swiftkey user but hadn't been using it as I wanted to see if I could get used to the handwriting recognition on the stock keyboard. That didn't work too well for me so I started using flow. I'm on the international rom in the dev section and it has the 4.2 keyboard. The flow works very well, the autospacing took a little while to get used, I found myself running words together. I was surprised how good the word recognition was and the predictions were pretty good too. I just installed the Swiftkey beta and the spacing is much better as you just glide over the space bar. I like the keyboard layout better with the long press for the symbols. SwiftKey is the winner for me but the stock 4.2 keyboard is not bad at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] iahk:
is it possible to use something like Tasker to automate the switch from swiftkey to stock Samsung keyboard when you activate multiview?

I mainly use swiftkey as my default but i switch to the samsung keyboard in multiview since I can move it around. it'd be awesome if this process could be automated.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] androidaddict23:
Does any one know how to turn on the flow function one in the keyboard? Because it seems when you just type the letters it turns off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ViciousMo:
Swift Key Flow
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
Thanks. Pretty much my experience, too. I current have both versions installed. Didn't see a difference, so based on what you stated, I guess I'll uninstall the tablet version.

Flow seems really good... it's just that I don't know how to be very fluid with it. There's a bit of a learning curve — at least for me. I love the fact that you don't really ever have to lift your finger off of the keypad, but I find that doesn't seem very practical in most situations. Sometimes it gets a complete sentence right ... other times it will start to get it right, but at the last second change up into something totally different ... and other times it doesn't come close. So until I get figure out how to get it right most of the time, that edge over Swype isn't really there in that regard, but I find the auto-prediction and spelling corrections much better than anything Swype has to offer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Starksas:
When someone release a rom for our phone with the Android 4.2 keyboard then I'll be sticking with that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
You don't have to turn it on and off for SwiftKey Flow

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Oh and they need to let the keyboard work in all text fields, I know that swiftkey didn't work in all the fields bit it's about time to change that!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Barbarian:
SwiftKey Flow gets my vote for sure. With the feedback from beta it can only get better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xonone:
honestly I dont like swiftkey nor samsung keyboard. I fell in love with the modded 4.2 keyboard :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] skim32:
I too am in love with swiftkeys. I do have this habit of tapping space space after a period. Which ends up typing "I am" all the time. lol. But besides that, it works great. Definitely learns your typing style and auto-corrects nicely.

Anyone else having a lag problem with SwiftKey? When I try to reply to this forum for example there's a couple of seconds where if you depress a key it gets "stuck" and then then it clears up and goes back to normal.

I think there is some lag in the system today. I don't think it's Swiftkeys fault.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
SwiftKey usually gets it before you even type it. Literally. All you have to do is hit space to insert the word. And now with flow added in, it sometimes has it before I'm even done swiping, and it's still in beta.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I know what you are talking about, but if you set the keypress to about 300 ms then it is almost like you have the keypad up there at all times.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] martinezma99:
SwiftKey Flow makes typing fun! I kid you not! Both great but like SwiftKey Flow better than stock keyboard. It takes some practice but after a while it becomes second nature.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
I love SwiftKey Flow! For some reason it just seems much faster. Lots of errors as well along with no punctuation correction, but hopefully it will improve once out of beta.

On a side note, any notice more battery drain when using it often? Just checked my battery stats, used 9%.

Oh well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I was reading up on this problem and apparently it might have to do with the swiftkey personalization. I was having that same problem but now it doesn't show up in my battery stats anymore. Can't wait to see how much this program improves!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
Yeah this is the first public beta still, so of course they're getting feedback from it on their message boards. I'm sure if it causes a significant increase in battery drain, they'll know about it. Personally, I haven't noticed anything.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] bbaydar:
Swype beta

This is why I went back to using the Swype beta. It works in all text fields.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] sonny21:
Yeah that could be it as I'm using the neon skin so it's not default. Who knows, it's strange how it seems faster then Sammy keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] weezill:
I gave swiftkey flow beta a try, but for gesture typing, I keep going back to Swype Beta. For me, it is the most accurate. For thumb typing though, swiftkey or Android 4.2.

When a new beta of swiftkey flow comes out, I'll try it again to see if it's improved.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] KEVK:
Sticking with Stock Keyboard

I just switched from a SGS3 to the GN2. On my SGS3, I was using Swiftkey Flow (beta) and loved it. I tried it on the GN2 but found that I enjoyed the stock keyboard better; it also allows me to use the S Pen more quickly than having Flow enabled.

I was going to give Swype a chance later this week (comes with CleanROM 3.0.1).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alfakher:
I like swift key pro but can't find the one handed operation mode. Is it because its still in beta?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
One handed operation is a Samsung feature, so it's only going to be on their keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Dr. Evo:
:silly:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] [-]awkeye:
Has anyone noticed that on the new 4.1.2 rom, the stock keyboard's swype acts exactly like android 4.2 and the new Swiftkey Flow? I was afraid to move away from the Samsung keyboard just to move to SwiftKey Flow just for that reason alone.

If your wondering what I mean, on the stock Rogers 4.1.1, when swyping you won't be able to determine what word you are trying to write where as with the new 4.1.2 when swyping you get a preview of the word you are trying to build out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] themyst:
SwiftKey Flow needs a number row like the stock keyboard, but other than that, I think it's near perfect.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] soNburst:
swiftkey needs a number row and be movable around the screen
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esincho:
I suggested they have it where when u swipe u have options on that word first, then after selecting it or hitting the space bar to accept, the next word prediction begins. Too many words path are similar and it just picks one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] soNburst:
you haven't tried to use a keyboard while using multiview. when you do, you will realize you will want a movable keyboard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
Could you tell me if the 4.2 stock keyboard has one handed operation?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Vaanres:
Yes, a movable keyboard and easy to switch between qwerty and pen input

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] esincho:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
Because I'm not lagging
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Techweed:
Your response makes no grammatical sense. I'm noticing lag because you're not lagging? Its an odd response.

I've moved on to thumb keyboard and while it does miss a couple autocorrections here and there its zero lag and incredible ability to customize have made me happy.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] MiuKing:
What I hate most about the Samsung keyboard is that there is no auto correct option in the settings. It's ridiculous, do they expect us to be perfect typers? It's the only reason why I use SwiftKey. I miss the old school keyboard. Swift key symbols and numbers are awkwardly placed on the keyboard, and the auto space after each period gets annoying, I start all my sentences with 'I', and the double quotations is hiding behind the apostrophe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
I like the Flow beta, but I don't like the limited amount of word selections, and when you go back to a word, you have to totally erase it, it doesn't suggest any alternatives.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I find myself going between the stock keyboard and swiftkey flow. I like that on swiftkey flow when you flow a word, a prediction comes up for the next word instead of the word you already typed. I am still not a fan of not being able to use flow in every field. One handed operation is very nice for the stock keyboard. Hopefully by the time the beta is over they will incorporate these things into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
I see it predicts well but I dislike being unable to easily correct a mistake without erasing the whole word and redoing it. Swype gives you a list of words when you tap the word you want to fix, Flow doesn't. Probably the worst thing/difference I've found so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] P1 Wookie:
This is why you sign up on their message boards and give input ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] reinbeau:
And have done so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Milkman00:
Soooooooo right.

I am shocked that it doesn't have an auto-correct. Maybe Apple has that copyrighted or something.

Anyway the stock keyboard would be absolutely PERFECT if it did have autocorrect as an option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] chokem:
Ok. I'm using SwiftKey 3 which I had on my GS3. Now on this Note2, it will not put a period at the end of a sentence. I'm having to do it manually whereas before if I hit the space bar twice, it would automatically insert a period. Not a biggie, but very annoying. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Alcapone263:
go into your settings and make sure that feature is active, it works perfectly for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Themetnut:
I'm glad that we at least have the option to choose keyboards. I have gone back and forth between the stock keyboard and swiftkey flow. The big thing for me is that with swiftkey flow when you are done with the flow it will try to predict the next word, where as the stock keyboard doesn't. I really like that part of the keyboard.
