I would post this under development, but I need 10 posts to do that. So I hope someone will look here to help me out.

So I got the new update yesterday. I have nothing against the stock rom, But it broke my tethering app. I found a way to root my S3. [GUIDE] Root for Jelly Bean OTA ***UPDATED*** - xda-developers

No problem there. I was looking to install a version of Paranoid Android, But using Goomanager this was not an available rom. (Is there one for the S3) I tried a few other roms and they all looked kind of chunky to me. A few had a flicker effect when you went to the home screen (aokp milestone 1 and bean)

Well now i went the route of http://forums.androidcentral.com/ve...-back-clean-factory-stock-update-10-23-a.html And I am back to Factory fresh rom with an unlocked boot loader. If I were to root the factory rom and leave it what would be the effects in the long run, and is there a costume factory rom (Jelly bean) that would solve my problem...

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Well first, this shouldn't be posted in development because you're nitty releasing anything. So this Is the right spot.

Second, I'm not sure what you're looking for under original development you'll find the AOKP for us. If you want stock jelly bean that logs like AOSP check out beans build 6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badge 214:
Well I guess I would have liked to post in the thread that had the information in the first place. The thread is where he explained the rooting procedure that was not working for me. All steps worked except the last one. So I have to try to ask my questions over here.

Second, Now that I am back to stock rom I just wanted to see if anyone could answer my question about rooting and leaving it...

Third... Is there a paranoid android available for S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Gotcha! Guess I misunderstood where you wanted to post, my bad. Then rooting and leaving it is fine, no long term effect. I run stock rooted all the time...until I get bored. Also, here us the official AOKP

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badge 214:
Thanks for the reply's So what you are saying is I can run stock root until there is another update and the worst that will happen is it will break my root?????

Like I said I like how stock functions, but it broke my tethering app. I am still on the unlimited data plan and spent 700.00 for the S3 so i could stay there. kind of a waste of cash now that Foxfi wont work. If I can root then I can use open garden.

If your into the programing part. When using oden to root what does this do..VRALEC.bootchain.tar and then they have you do this one at the end.VRBLK3_Bootchain.tar

If I get answers for these I do have one more that I will post later....

Thanks again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Yes you can stay stock rooted and if you use voodoo ota keeper you may even keep root after updates.

The reason you have to flash the old insecure boot chain is so you can unlock your boot loader and install recovery, so that you can then root. The only reason you flash the new one at the end is so that to your boot chain matches your ROM. The last party is optional, but it just makes since to have as much matching as possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] badge 214:
That is great..now to my last question..(a few more like this and I can post directly to the guys thread)

When doing this step I am using TWRP.

Step 4 - Rooting Your Device and Unlocking Your Bootloader

Quote:

Using your custom recovery flash the download you chose above from Step 1 (#3)

Upon exiting your custom recovery to reboot first time, you will be asked if you want to "Disable recovery flash", you MUST select Yes

After reboot, your ROM will now be fully rooted, have a custom recovery, and/or your bootloader unlocked as well

after flashing SuperSU + Unlocked Bootloader I go to reboot but it does not ask about the Disabling of the recovery flash. Should I be worried or should I maybe flash back the Factory bootloader with ODEN after I am rooted??

Sadly, this seems to be the most active thread for Paranoid Android. Currently that thread's original Dev is MIA and the last build he made was based on 2.54 (current PA is 2.99). Another Dev ported 2.99 but people are reporting issues with it. I ran the 2.54 one for a couple of weeks and it wasn't terrible.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] florjanx:
Hello,

I have an LG L9 (P769) with 10A software(original) and root.

I have tried installing a recovery by replacing recovery block(/dev/block/mmcblk0p04) with a lg prada recovery image.

Now the phone keeps rebooting at splash1(unanimated LG logo). I have the backup of the original recovery however I would need to access adb or a simular tool.

So far I have tried hard reseting the phone without success, when I connect the phone with my computer it boots to lg splash1 and then keeps rebooting. Everytime it reboots my computer detects a device.

What are my options?

Thank you in advance
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] florjanx:
After some time messing around and googling emergency download mode for LG phones I found out that for LG L9 to access download mode you need to:

1.) Remove the battery

2.) Plug in the phone to computer

3.) Press and hold volume up and power button

4.) Insert battery

After I got to download mode I basically just downloaded European firmware and flashed it. I used this procedure http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18946763 both now and before to downgrade from 10e to 10a in order to root using http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1990705.

You can get it from any custom rom zip file.

Why did you need this particular apk?

You may try to recompile it using Ten Studio tool.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] sickboyrawrs:
I'm using LCDdensityChanger because I get annoyed by big pixels. Well I have RazoDroid by rajrocks in my phone and is not compatible with 140 or 120 dpi . Because when I make or receive a call my phone.apk crashes in a black screen (com.process.phone I think it is?) And I get a FC :/ I think what I need is mod my phone.apk to make it compatible with those densities but I have no idea how to do it :/ help ? :(

[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] sickboyrawrs:

Dude, I have the same problem. When I change the lcd density, my phone looks cool but I can't make calls or receive calls, we are buying phones to make calls at all. So I can't make my phone look cool.
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] ithunter:
what is special advantage about low density ??? #ReallyNoob

:'(
[Galaxy Ace S5830i General] sickboyrawrs:
It depends. 160 dpi is what we have. If you change it to 140 your icons and pngs will look smaller and your screen bigger. When you put it in 120 dpi it looks like a tablet. And you get more space in your screen (5x5 instead of 4x4). I get annoyed by 160 because is too big for my taste

So I use google music player instead of the native s3 music player from samsung because I have all my music uploaded to the google cloud. I just got the s3 a month ago and continually have this issue. I'm listening to music then all of a sudden it stops, it looks like its still playing but can't hear anything and then when I try and back out of it its frozen.

Any ideas? Anyone else experiencing this issue?

thx in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rawdaddymagraden:
This was something I experienced while on frosty jb rom. Thought I was crazy the only way I fixed it was to force stop the app when it happened. Quite annoying I know
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
I think its a problem with touchwiz, so far have not had any issues with toasted .marshmallows. a solution I found is to go to application manager and clear data under Google play. Its not efficient and you have to wait a few minutes for it to sync again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mypenismighty:
Are you rooted? I had that same issue on jellybean stock w/ root. Better Battery Stats showed I kept getting a LPAplayer wakelock and when I changed the build.prop following this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=25475691&postcount=4732) it seemed to help. Dunno what the cause is or why that would fix it, but try it out if you have root.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidcactus:
thank you for all the responses.

So I am not rooted, just on the out of the box sg3 system.

I will try some of the suggestions..disappointed that there is the issue. And it does the same thing whether streaming from the cloud or the songs I have pined for offline listening which sits on the cache. :crying:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
I'm having the exact same issue. I'm on stock JB, not rooted. It'll play a song or two then just freeze. I have to back completely out and try again and get the same results. Frustrating, because I don't store any music at all on my device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidcactus:
and like me do you experience same results whether its streaming or playing a pined/cached song?

I wonder if there is someone to report this? I imagine it must be a know issue though?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BerMM:
Shouldn't be a touchwiz issue, as I have the same problem even though I'm running Nova Prime. I just replaced the google player widget with the samsung one and have been happy ever since. I don't really miss the cloud sync cause my library rarely changes much.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sipock97:
I am having the same issue. I thought it might be the romantic I was running, but now it has happened on two different roms. I wonder if it is a Jellybean issue?

I see this every so often when I am listening to music in the cloud. I never had this issue with my Vibrant. I am betting it is the Google music player needing a fix

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] The_MamaBee:
I'm still having this issue. I don't have music pinned on my device, it's all in the cloud. Never, ever had this issue on my Vibrant. I actually went to Google's help today and the rep who called said they know it's happening with this phone. He advised me to uninstall the updates and then reinstall from the market. I did that, and it actually feels worse. Now it's "frozen" on one song and won't let me select another. The only buttons I have available are back, pause and forward, but it isn't playing anything.

Interestingly, I just uninstalled updates again, taking my Play Music app back to v4.3.606.400990 and it seems to be working fine. I've even had music interrupted a few times by phone calls and it picks up again and plays with no help from me.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Negativezeroxxxx:
Used to happen to me as well on stock, but since rooted and now running 4.2.1 problem has disappeared
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Babble0n:
same problem with vzw gs3

I have this same problem with my phone. The following steps detail what reproduces the issue for me.

Play Music starts playing, gets through about two songs, then stops.

When waking the phone Play Music is frozen. The pause, previous and next track buttons, but nothing on the screen responds to touch.

Hold down home button and use the built in task manager to end Play Music, accepting the warning.

Restart Play Music and continue playing. It will play normally after that.

However, from then on the LPAPlayer will keep the phone from sleeping.

If I leave it alone, it will show wakelocks into the 10-15 hour range.

A reboot of the phone will fix the wakelock:), until I use Play Music again.:(

I am on stock rooted JB for VZW (VRBLK3). I don't think it's ROM or even phone specific though.Iit seems to affect a wide spectrum of ROMs and a few different phones on different carriers.

I am currently trying out the recommendation on this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34586729&postcount=10

I am about six songs in now, will report back if it fails.

I have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S2. I recently rooted it and installed the latest CM10 nightly. I also have Clockwork Recovery Mod v6 installed.

When I installed CM10, I did a complete wipe, format, etc. I flashed the latest gapps for JB (20121011-signed). I noticed right away that certain apps on the market are now saying "not compatible with your device" (Foursquare, Walmart, Google Goggles, and a few others).

Someone suggested changing my DPI. I switched ro.sf.lcd_density from 240 to 320 (and also tried 160 and 220). Rebooted. Didn't work. Still got the incompatible notice. I really don't think it's a DPI issue anymore. But are there other common DPIs that I should try? What's default for the S2?

I downloaded the Amazon AppStore and it allowed me to "download" these apps, but it would FAIL when it went to "install" them. They wouldn't simply error out during the install with "Application Not Installed" or something generic like that. This makes me think there's some setting on my phone that's wrong, and not necessarily just a problem with the app store.

Any other suggestions? It really seems odd to me that I'd "start from scratch" and get these incompatible notices from Google Play store. Can anyone else install or run these apps?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beremat:
The incompatible notice is usually dpi-related. Try changing your dpi to 240 (the default) and then clearing the data on the play store. Reboot, open the play store and agree to the prompts. Exit again, and wait ten minutes. That usually clears it up for me.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kennedystephen:
I appreciate the help, but it didn't seem to work. I did all the steps exactly, and the apps still have incompatible notices.

When you say "Exit again" did you mean simply exit the Google Play store app? After opened the play store, agreed to the prompt, and then hit the home button. Waited 10 minutes and didn't seem to help.

Thanks again. Any other suggestions?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Beremat:
Yeah, that's what I meant. Really strange :( sorry that I can't help you further.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sjsharksfan420:
This is how I fix it:

1 - adjust dpi back to 240 (stock for this phone)

2 - In settings/app manager, find Google play store & Google framework services

3 - force stop, wipe data & wipe cache

4 - same for both

5 - now you go to the settings/accounts and you need 2 Google accounts, cause you have to actually remove your main Google account, then re-add it

6 - reboot

If this doesn't fix, then the app is either not compatible with this device or something else is causing the issue..

Good luck!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidcactus:
so when I changed out my sim card for new sg3 at tmob store, guy told me to import google contacts even though I explained they were on old phone only. Afterwards some contacts now have like 4 contact listings. Kind of a pain...so my question is how can I get my phone to not display my google contacts...I see options for sim only etc...but like i said my previous phone stored them on the phone not the sim. I'd like to not have google contacts showing then somehow move phone contacts to sim card.. Right now I'd have to move all contacts (including google to sim) which I don't want to do for reasons stated.

thx in advance

Go to your Google account settings on the phone and uncheck sync contacts

thank you for posting

so i did that--and should help in the future- but now when i say display contacts on phone they have all already been imported i guess and are still displaying
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] psykhotic:
He said he already tried that.

OP seriously... just select all and unselect the ones you don't want to delete. I don't understand waiting days for a solution instead of just taking a few minutes to do it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fermunky:
That would only happen if you for some reason also copied them to the SIM card. When using smart phones and you have a data plan, I find it incredibly dumb to use only the SIM for contacts... why not just add your SIM contacts to Google, hide SIM contacts and display/sync Google contacts? Contact info on SIM cards is completely archaic.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidcactus:
I would have no issue using google contacts as opposed to the sim card, but google seems to import EVERTHING! So an example is say Joe Smith, I have Joe Smith cell#, home # etc, and email in my contact for him. Then google creates a second contact which shows Joe Smith email, then a third one for an old Joe Smith email, then a fourth one for Joe Smith biz email.

Thats my issue. So when I go to call Joe Smith, I open one of the listings, ok nope not the one, open another etc...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] androidcactus:
I hear you with the select all then deselect ones I need to keep. Problem is, google imported like everyone I ever emailed, and each different email address for a person is now listed as a separate contact under the same name..The one I need is not always listed first...(see my previous reply for some color on it)

Are we limited to flashing things specifically for the I-605, or are there international variants that are compatible our devices, so we have more choices for roms/kernels?

I bought a evo 3d back in the summer, it is running the generic gingerbread. Up until now it has been fine. Recently most apps keep shutting down (force stop) it won’t even display the weather app on home page anymore! It won’t update to ice-cream sandwich through ‘software updates’.

I called htc and gave them my imei and serial etc, they told me that it is an x demo and that I shouldn’t have it, they explained that the problems I am experiencing are to be expected as the device in not as sufficient as the retail models. I find this hard to believe and am looking for some truth hence I have joined this forum.

I guess I am looking to see if I can update it to the above mentioned or even jelly bean.

I am trying to update it to ic sandwich to fix my issues, however I can’t get a copy of the file ‘Temp Root File – RW EVO 3D’ as it appears to have been removed from every link on Google.

Is there any way to get back stock recovery from TWRP except flashing the whole stock firmware via ODIN

I recently read about this in the SII Skyrocket forum.

Some people have complained that having custom recovery restrains you from installing OTA/Kies updates.

So someone in the forum created a recovery.tar file

Another question is that does updating the firmware via ODIN wipe your data??

If you flash firmware with Odin but dont do factory reset, Odin just reflashes your system, removes root and brings back stock recovery. But DONT wipes your data, apps ant etc.
