1.it depends if the next Rom you are going to install needs a full wipe 2. you can backup the apps ...also you can backup the settings using apps ....also I'd you wanna backup the apps make a nandroid backup for the Rom you are using then restore only data ...it it won't work from sense to jelly bean

3.every Rom has its own features and amazing stuff ...and when you root your are able to do awesome things with your phone ..like installing a Rom ....oc uc..change kernels ...install apps that cab do amazing things ...and LOTS if other things

The bottom if line, a phone not rooted is useless
[HTC One X] jabr0ni:
Thanks for the info.

Is there any specific software/apps that I need to use for the backup of the apps and app data? Does Titanium backup do the trick?

Any other helpful apps that might help? Thanks!

Ok I have read eveywhere and searched google for it but can't find a solution. Ok the problem is that I am having booting problems. My phone boots up most of the way but right before rom completely loads the only thing the shows is top tool (signal & time) and the walpaper nothing else loads up and it just there cant do anythin not even shut it off only way to shut it off is to pull battery. This problem occurs when I do factory reset or data reset or when I restore from nandroid. I have no idea wat cause this problem and i have never had this problem its jst started and its fustrating as hell. If anyone can help please i appreciate it.

Ahoy XDA!

So I'm an avid flasher and have lots of experience with ROMS/Radios/Kernels etc. however, for the life of me, I can't figure out what's going on.

I have a T-989 that I had AOSP JB Rom on. I just purchased another phone and was restoring to stock for sale. I followed instructions for ODIN with the original MD5 file however, it failed and now the phone is stuck saying

"Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again."

I've tried many Stock builds with ODIN but none of them are wanting to complete. There are a few that complete but won't reboot the phone. When I manually reboot it brings the same screen.

Any help would really be appreciated. If you need more info just let me know.

[General Questions and Answers] wildphone:
I installed WildChild v.3.3 [Odex] by Tigger31337 in my Wildfire S a week ago, and overall I am very happy with it.

The only problem I have found is now it is very difficult for me to connect to some WIFI networks I used to connect very easily.

The kernel is:

2.6.35.10-Dust-v9.0-ondmnd-noop-815-122_einstein.frathtc-kernel@And18-2 #24

Baseband:

47.23e.35.3038H_7.57.39.10M

Is there a different kernel with better WIFI performance on low signal networks or any other thing I could try?

I have tried many ROMs and I really want to stick with WildChild.

Thanks!

(sorry if wrong section)

Looking at WinPhone 8 contacts app I feel envious.

It makes so much sense. You stop looking for people A-Z or last called. You look for them as per what they are for you.

So, Family / Work / Closer friends / outer friends.

Contact groups are there, sure, yet they are barely used. And quite unmeaningful.

Do you guys know of an android contact app able to be a one-stop hub for people ? Divided in groups, abe to sync with Google and G+ and to create (and maybe suggest a back-to-google-contacts update) "groups" also populated with social statuses and (tagged) photos ?

Otherwise, is this concept worth creating an app for any of yu (I'm not able to)

[HTC One S] esbenm:
Hello, I decided to go for the One S (black, S4) after my Incredible S more or less gave up, and my work phone One V is just to poor to use daily.

My first impressions:

Amazingly fast, no lag anywhere. A big upgrade from both One V and Incredible S.

Size and design is beautiful, prettiest phone I ever saw.

I find it hard to use with one hand. It is a little too slippery.

The screen is only average, especially with text. I feel this is mainly due to the low resolution.

I was torn between the One S and One X, but decided the One X to be too large, although I much prefered its screen.

Now I think I might as well have bought the One X, if I am going to use 2 hands with the One S.

Of course I could get a slim skin or case for better grip. Any recommendations?

Or maybe I will just adapt to it after a while?

Overall it is a fantastic phone, just let down a little by one hand ergonomics and the screen.
[HTC One S] Schlengge:
Check out this one:

http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251047982451

In my view, this is the best available. It is like a second skin for your One S and it's really handy so it is not slippery any more!

Sent from my HTC One S running TrickDroid 4.0
[HTC One S] Troute:
There's lots of choice in slim hard shell cases out there, spend some time browsing and you'll probably find something you like. Failing that a clear full body skin by Zagg or another maker might suit you.
[HTC One S] esbenm:
Yea I already looked at Diztronic and Ghost Armor.

They look nice but I am not a fan of cases and skins.

I will use the phone a little more first, to see if I really need it.
[HTC One S] pookipsy:
you need from the reason the aluminum is soft and every drop will leave a mark for good.
[HTC One S] BackDaws:
ive got the Case Mate Tough Case my phone would be a smashed wreck if it wasn't for this case, seriously buy a decent case youll be glad you did :)
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
I have mine for over 6 months, always without case or skin. At first I found it a bit unwieldy. You will probably get used to the size and shape over time and start automatically gripping it right.

Personally never had a problem with the screen, coming from a Desire [3.7"WVGA], but it's a fact that the OneS [4.3"qHD] has lower resolution that the OneX and pentile matrix at that. It's very bright and saturated tho..
[HTC One S] cloale:
Bought the Htc genuine 742 transparent one. It's the thinnest and invisibile I saw. The best. Look at the Skullcandy too.
[HTC One S] Rexton270:
Lucky you... mine is laggy and with some issues...
[HTC One S] ChrisAG:
Barely There case doesn't offer much protection if dropped but its comfortable grip is great for PREVENTING drops in the first place.
[HTC One S] npiper05:
Second that. Using that case now. Allies for one handed use. Not sure it will provide a ton of protection, but helps with daily wear and tear.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Yes, the major drawback on One S is the display quality. While AMOLED performs very well on watching movies because of vivid colour/high contrast/pure black but the low resolution(QHD) isn't good for text reading.

Well, I like my One S because it's an one-hand device, light weight and slim. If you want to use a two-hand one, you should get a HTC Droid DNA instead.

If you really need an one-hand with 720p display, go for Sony Xperia V.
[HTC One S] esbenm:
The xperia phones dont really suit me.

Anyway after some more use I am really liking my One S. Such a snappy phone. Camera is top notch too. And the size is great for typing in landscape.

Just tried a friends Note, that thing is huge, and seems slower.
[HTC One S] Terminator19:
There is more to screens than just what res. is used.

I rather have the qHD SAMOLED display over a TFT 720P screen any day of the week.

Personally I think the screens used for sony xperia devices look pretty poor overall.

What the one S display lacks in terms of sharpness/clarity, it makes up for having the best calibration (for SAMOLED) settings so colours aren't too saturated like the GS 2 and not too dull like the Galaxy nexus screen, whites are the best I have seen on a SAMOLED screen and the outdoor view-ability in sunshine is superb. Screen is sharp enough and text looks fine, obviously when next to a LCD based screen it won't look as good, that is mainly due to the pixel arrangement, pentile VS RGB.

Anandtech sum the screen of the S up well:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/5868/htc-one-s-review-international-and-tmobile/6
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Well, I very love my One S simply because of size, durable and amazing camera like you but the low resolution really make me sad. If HTC next year going to release an One S like model(I want 4.3" with light weight) with upgraded display, probably I will get it.

Note I and Note II got a really big different on speed. Note I is running A9 dual core with 1GB ram while Note II got A9 quad core plus 2GB ram. Pretty much a double speed on Note II.

---------- Post added at 01:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:34 PM ----------

I got a Sony Xperia S before One S, got much sharper text , I sold it because cpu slow and hot and camera suck at really slow speed.

Well, this is well-know just a matter of taste while some guys like amoled and some others prefer TFT/IPS. They both have pros and cons.

But the question here isn't related to panel, it's all about the resolution things. If you use a 720P amoled for text reading, it will still outperformed our QHD.
[HTC One S] knickerblogger:
I have had this http://www.ebay.com/itm/Rugged-Rubb...-Hard-Case-Cover-Skin-cellphone-/170876744327 I think its great but maybe a little large. The price has gone down 46 cents in the last 4 months too.
[HTC One S] shadowch31:
It amuses me how people ***** and moan about screen res qhd vs tft etc etc etc.

I think the screen is great.

1) I can see the text clearly.

2) I can see screen in daylight.

You might as well go around comparing everything to anything else, this dog is better than this one - this pair of crotchless panties is better than that pair - my **** is better than your **** and so I could carry on but seriously people you knew what you were buying and so what if one screen is supposedly better than another. If you dont like it sell it and buy something else just please shut up moaning!

Ok so we all know the stock Samsung earphones that come with the Note and I guess other phones too.

You have 3 controls, but I can only do stop/volume up/down.

Many times when I wait a bit too long after I stopped my music with the stop button(On the earpiece) the music doesn't want to restart, until I either reconnect the earphone or press play @ the player.

And the other problem is that I can't skip tracks with the volume up/down button, I did that before by doing a long press, but now it only changes the volume.

Kernel: Philz latest

Player: Poweramp full version

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrizcrozz:
Hi Guys,

I don't really know what happened to my Note 2. I'm just browsing photos then suddenly it froze and restarted but it is stuck at the FIRST boot screen:

Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100.

There's 2 boot screen right?

1.) The white text on black background, 'Samsung Galaxy Note II GT-7100"

2.) Then the animated Samsung logo.

I'm stuck at the first one.

I tried to access its recovery (press and hold - volume up button, home button, power button). It just boot again to screen 1.

I can only access, Odin mode ( press and hold - volume down button, home button, power button).

I tried to flash it using Odin with official samsung rom, but no good. it still boot and stuck at the first boot screen.

What should I do to have a recovery mode? I don't mind if it's official samsung or a custom one. :crying:

UPDATE:

After reading some threads and searching for the cause of the problem, well, that thing, i must say that "Reboot of Death" LOL! happened under normal use, stock, unrooted Note2s.

I just had this issue an hour ago. The phone, however, has been acting up for the past month. Random freeze in normal use and esp when browsing the web. I always have to hard reset the phone and it has been working until an hour ago. It was a freeze so i thought oh this BS again, and hard reset the phone. Then, the phone would be only stuck in the white "Samsung" screen... My first priority is keep all the data, so I was wondering after flashing the CWM and wipe the cach and dalvik. Is it necessary to wipe data for this to work? I do not want to lose all the data. The only thing I ask for is to get into system somehow, get all the data i need onto the SD card, and i can do whatever to my phone afterwards...

I think i'm ****ed. In odin it says no PIT partition. I found a lot of others having this issue, and Doctor says that this is called SDS (sudden death syndrome) ... It is a bad day and **** my life.

I have the exact same problem but what happened with my GALAXY NOTE 2 GT-N7100 that I was charging it while suddenly a some writings in french appeared on screen and I could only click on something was written down the screen and I guess it meant to reboot the phone, I unplugged it and pressed that thing down the screen and my phone automatically restarted and froze at the 1st logo screen ( the one with black background and white writings ) .. I plugged it to odin but every time I try 2 flash a custom firmware it fails and says ( re-partition failed ) in odin... Itook it to many ppl and no one could fix it, they told me that it's ( sudden death ) but I dont think so because I think that sudden death happens automatically and the phone doesn't start at all ( mine happened after clicking on that french thing and it's stuck on 1st logo screen ) and they told me that the boot files are damaged and I the only solution is to change the mother board which will cost me about (370 $ here in Syria ).. and I can't access recovery mode to wipe dalvik and cache.. can anyone help me please ?
