A deodex'd stock ROM is the way to go if you ask me. All the features of touchwiz with the flexibility of being able to load any and everything I want. I am finding more and more that devs are either adding a bunch of what the think I need and/or breaking features I know I want.

YMMV

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lindel:
I don't have the Note 2 yet, soon hopefully. I haven't used a Samsung phone and don't have any experience with Touch Whiz, so I can't say for sure if I'll be using it or running a custom ROM.

I can say this. After having a G2x for 2 years, I don't plan on living the LG experience again, anytime soon. Lousy support for what was supposed to be their "flagship" phone 2 years ago has left a bad taste in my mouth, and what I'm seeing with the Nexus 4 isn't doing anything to change my mind. Short on stock while denying that they are, no way to get to the battery or extend the memory, not my cup of tea.

This will probably be the route I take. Have to be rooted to run my apps, so might as well ditch the bloat in the process. :cool:

Touch Wiz is fast enough for me. No need to run AOSP other than for the beautiful lock screen. One lock screen isn't more important than everything TW gives me. Not even close.

i just got my new note 2 today! so excited. i think ill run a stock rooted rom. doesnt make much sense to me to lose all the spen functions even if they are sort of gimmicky. we'll see. im sure ill get tired of it a run back to CM like i always do. but so far im diggin the TW. which i am very surprised about

Hi all,

I followed all the instructions and search the web and successfully unlock the bootloader and root the phone. I also use fastboot to install CWM but for some reason, every time I go to Android Recovery, it went into Android system recovery <3e> and not CWM. I tried flashing the CWM through the link provided in "[Answers] Solutions to Common Problems - Look Here Before Posting in Q&A", both CWM 5.0.2.0 and CWM touch recovery 5.8.1.8 and it still goes to Android system recovery <3e>.

I also tried using ROM manager to flash CWM and yest again it goes back to Android system recovery <3e>. I got the exclamation mark with triangle and the android logo when I select Android Recovery, and just hit volume up and down the same time to get into Android system recovery <3e>.

Am I missing something? Has anyone encounter this issue and can shed a light on my problem? Thank you in advance for reading my post and thank you XDA for the wealth of information.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RedVR6:
I had the same problem. After some searching I found the following (I think here on XDA):

" There's a file in /system/etc/ called install_recovery.sh that may need to be deleted for the custom recovery to stick. You need root to remove it."

I did this...actually just renamed it, re- flashed CWM and was good to go. Hope this helps :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtabman:
THANK YOU sooo much for the tip! :good:

[Nexus 4 Accessories] donavo:
i just put in the wireless charging mat in my car and its great. very useful. the way im using it is perfect for me in case any of you want to do the same.

what i bought was the LG charging mat (the cheap one) and killed the speaker in it so it doesnt beep constantly. i always drop my phone on top of the center console when i drive and (i know i shouldnt but) use it constantly to switch through songs while its connected to my car with bluetooth. and do other phone stuff like text once in a while (may i burn in hell, i know i know). the qi charging mat fit perfectly on the center console.

unfortunately, that charging mat came with a wall charger and not a usb charger. so i bought a power converter that went from a car charging port to a wall outlet.

it all fit perfectly and seeminglessly. i guess it depends on the car because not all cars have their cigarette lighters arranged the way i do.

here are some pictures of the outcome.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] c1umsyb3ar:
That looks great haha, does the charging mat "grip" the phone with a rubberized surface (or something of that sort) or do you have to worry about it sliding around?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] gregsky:
That looks really good. I wish my car had its cigarette lighter in the center console instead of on the dash, if I do the same thing I will have wires running all over the place.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kpjimmy:
I would add one of those sticky pads on top of the charging pad to prevent the phone from flying off the charger in a short stop or sharp turn at 50 mph lol.

I have seen a few pick up trucks that have center consoles with a recessed cavity in it's armrest (late mode Chevys) that have potential for pad installs like yours.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] donavo:
Actually I have the ringke slim case on my phone so it doesn't slide around as much. But if the phone was naked, yeah it would fly off. The pad surface is pretty grippy though. Works perfect. It's even better because I put an NFC tag on it so every time I drop my phone on it, Bluetooth turns on, WiFi turns off. Lol
[Nexus 4 Accessories] SacTu:
I can't see the images?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] kenfly:
Does the N4 continually read the NFC tag when its placed onto it, draining the battery? or does the NFC only read once and shut off?

I always wondered this
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Agwe23:
Nice
[Nexus 4 Accessories] moses992:
Thats a brilliant setup, seriously XD.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
I am curious what you did for power. The mat's input is 19 volts.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] donavo:
Mentioned it in the op. I bought a converter/amp to convert the power from the car charger to a wall charger equivalent. The plug of the charging mat goes into that converter, then the converter goes into the car.

And the NFC just reads once every time you put it there. So no I don't think it's continuous. But yeah it works great Lol.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Solutions Etcetera:
It wasn't quite clear to me as you are actually using an inverter with the stock wall wart, and right?

I have to think that using a cheap inverter (square wave) to power an ac-dc power supply is extremely inefficient. You may not want to keep this plugged in 24/7 as inverters can draw a fair amount of current just idling.

I sourced one of these - http://www.bixnet.com/12vdcto19vdc.html - that would be far more efficient, and and draw virtually nothing at idle. Seems 19vdc is more common than I thought as it is a common input for laptops.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] donavo:
Idk much about electrical engineering. I just went to Fry's and asked which one would do what I'm trying to achieve. When the car is not running, the cigarette lighters don't get any power. If that's what you meant by leaving it plugged in. Yeah I agree though, you can't really get efficient wall socket quality power. But the thing I bought gives just enough to power the lg charger which is all I need. I'm leaving it plugged in cuz it's practically turned off when the car is not running. But thanks for the heads up. I was more concerned about it overheating but my car is smart lol. Inside the center compartment there is an ac vent lmao. So while driving, air will just flow there.

And that link you gave. That thing looks like it would be perfect for me Lol. I might buy that one if the one I got gives me problems

[Nexus 4 Accessories] neotekz:
thats a nice set up you got there, is it blocking the cup holders? that just made me think how perfect a cup holder induction charger would be.

I figured I'd give this one a try. Just arrived from Amazon, but its got the wrong tip to fit into the LG wireless charging pad. Anyone know how to mod this with the proper one?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoowaerter:
Hey guys,

I installed Xperia Ultimate HD on my LT15i, before I had unlocked the bootloader and flashed it with 4.1.B.0.431.

The sound problems (speaker is really distorted, when calling someone it is very difficult to understand anything) already appeared before installing Xperia Ultimate HD, I was hoping installing it might fix it, but it didn't.

Then after installing Xperia Ultimate HD my WiFi stopped working. I flashed the boot_587.zip file from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1838916

But that didn't change anything, still not working.

Any tips on how to fix either? I found a couple of threads with the same problem, but for some people flashing with boot_587.zip seemed to work.... Couldn't find anything helpful on how to fix the sound.

Thanks in advance.

E: ATM:

FIXED: WiFi is still not working. It was before when I had turned the phone on after step 1. [to fix: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1955248]

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vashta:
Go to service centre about sound problems, maybe it's hardware problems.

About the wifi... in my case, usually kernel problems, don't try another wifi fix from different kernel. The custom kernel dev usually provide their own wifi fix flashable zip file in their threads.

*btw, I never used firmware beside 4.1.B.0.587, i don't know if that the case or not.

Try reflash your firmware to this :

then reinstall the rom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoowaerter:
Thanks for your answer.

1. I am very sure that it is not a hardware problem, because it was triggered by unlocking bootloader or flashing the kernel. Definitely a software problem!

2.The wifi kernel which i flashed was the one posted in the Ultimate HD thread.

3. I tried flashing the .587, it looked all good on the computer, but when i went to "About phone" on my lt15i it still said .431

I can try to flash it all again tmr...

Your kernel is still from .431.

What's your flashing tool?

I recommend flashtool version 0.9.8.0 and when you manage to fix your phone, at first try flashmode with sony stock firmware .587 for arc.

If you have confidence that your phone become normal and fixed, then try custom kernel and rom.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoowaerter:
Hey thanks for your reply.

What I did now:

1. Flashed LT15i_4.1.B.0.587_Generic Global World.ftf with flashtool 0.9.8.0

2. Flashed boot_ARC.img [ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1838916 ] using sdk in bootloader

3. Installed Ultimate HD from SDcard

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] openperl:
I don't know what "sdk in bootloader" is.

Have never used that.

You don't need to use that.

With flashtool 0.9.8.0, you can do everthing you need.

When you flash kernel only, "fastboot mode" of the flashtool with kernel image("boot_arc.img) flash kernel image only.

Search "fastboot mode" in this forum just like "how to flash kernel fastboot mode".
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoowaerter:
sdk in bootloader I mean using the android sdk, using the platform-tools to put the data on the phone while it is in fastboot mode, so same thing.

Hi, people!!

Thought that I will never have to ask this question...

Staying with Dansta 34 line of ROMs, now supported and cooked by Sundawg.

That's a long time, like the Sensation look thou...

Question is... How do I check for the bad blocks?

When running a Logcat there are lots of errors, like: can't find a CPU subsys....

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Tester
[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
Here you go, judging by your problems I'd agree that it sounds like bad blocks. One thing I'd advise you is never to flash Task29s. When flashing a new ROM, just flash a new CWM partition and then the ROM itself, never Task29 and flash MAGLDR again. If you think about it, you're doubling the number of flashes you do if you use a Task29, which essentially halves the number of times you can flash I guess.
[General Topics] Joey11746:
God its so awsome how do I jailbreak it?

:(
[General Topics] KindleUser:
It depends how you put it in terms. For example, jailbreak meaning installing a better ROM on your phone than the one you already have, and secondly, you can only jailbreak an iPhone being the term 'jailbreak' came from iDevices.
[General Topics] Joey11746:
are you insulting me, because i'm not fat.
[General Topics] pdkenji:
Jailbreak is a term use in iOS. In android, we root our phones. Why? Few reasons, to install custom ROM, it is mainly because that phone no longer receiving update, so have to rely on xda. 2nd, to over clocked your phone. 3rd , dislike skinned ui, example HTC sense , Samsung touch wiz and more. So they would go for pure android aka vanilla. Or some prefer cyanogen version. Anyway, welcome to android, you can find almost all information about your android phone here. Have a nice day :)
[General Topics] meshuggah_rltw:
Google root + your device and carrier. It has worked for me as a new guy. Read up on it first and be careful as flashing roms and root can have permanent negative consequences. Just find your device here on xda and that should be a good starting point
[General Topics] conzmac:
First off what phone did you get? And if you are new to android, rooting, custom roms etc, I recommend you use the stock android your phone came with for a little to get familiar before you go changing things around.

Yeah like I said don't depend on what your seeing there. The lowest is 200 ie when your phone is idle its really at 200..click on an app it will jump to 800. The number you see in the settings is broken and not accurate. If you get a CPU monitor from play store you will see that its really "live" its like a broken clock in the settings. Your phone is not always running 1500. Its running lowest 200 up to 1500 depending on what your doing like normal. Does that make sense??

Hi all,

I just ordered a Galaxy S III since my S II was eligible for upgrade. While i wasn't seeking an upgrade since the S II was pretty awesome, I figured what the hell... got a good price.

That said, I have the Samsung brand car dock for the Epic 4G Touch and I love it since it has USB power that just slides up into the phone. No fussing with cables.

I am looking for a similar dock for the Galaxy S III. The Samsung one seems to be "universal" and instead of having a real docking mechanism, it just comes with a car charger/cable I believe.

Any leads would be great!
