Hi

I have a HTC shift, running Windows 8 Release preview. However i would really like to restore it to vista.

But when i have to select if i want to restore (right after startup, where prompted to press either Y og N), the macine just boots to Windows 8.

Is there anyway to restore it back to vista?

Best regards

My WiFi isn't working at all now. It says "turning WiFi on" and stays like that. On/off toggle greyed out. It happened after I tried to install TWRP 2.3.2.1 thru terminal emulator using dd method. I was on Xenon Rc3. I have used : dd if=/sdcard/toro.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 . I had renamed the file to toro.img from openrecovery-twrp-2.3.2.1-toro.img . I've used the sdcard command in there with success many times.Pretty sure the new JB4.2 O file messed things up. I have flashed new radios, ROMs, resets. I found a wifi binary file(tgz) to install, but didn't know where to put it or it if has to be fasboot flashed. Please help!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
The kernel is the only thing responsible for wifi. Re flash your kernel.

I don't know why you flash recovery through terminal. Reflash your recovery as well using bootloader mode. After that from now on flash the recovery using a flash able zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inchrist1:
I will give that a try. Thanks for the instruction too.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
start fresh; reflash stock through fastboot, then twrp. wifi still works? ROM/kernel is to blame.

In the process of trying to get drivers working for fastboot. Trying Gnex toolkit and PDA net right now. Will try fresh install thru fastboot when working. Thanks.

I tried sending a video from my Nexus 4 through whatsapp and noticed that my video was too large of a file. I know how to convert it on a PC, but it's a hassle to startup my PC just to convert the video to 480p or 360p. Is there a way to do that directly on my Android phone?

Thank you.

hey i have a sgs3 with a chn rom. I tried to install google play store in many ways such as using market enabler or using gapps
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
If you originally had Play store, download an apk file and copy it to system/app (requires root) and reboot.

Otherwise, try flashing an official firmware using Odin. They come with play store preinstalled. However, make sure the model number for the firmware matches your phone's or things might go ugly.

THIS ROM IS BASED ON AN ALPHA CM10 BUILD BY SBRISSEN. PLEASE MONITOR ITS THREAD FOR POSSIBLE BUGS AND PROBLEMS!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2047734

PER-APP-DPI/LAYOUT This is not tablet mode! Hybrid engine allows you to target apps individually. You get to pick their actual layouts which can tranform content drastically. Keep in mind, this has nothing to do with build.prop hacks or DPI changes. We list all layouts an app brings, you choose one, its as easy as that. It does not matter if your device runs itself in Phone-, Phablet or Tablet-UI, your apps will always look as you like. On top of that you can scale apps, to fit your screen, that way you can even bring full fledged tablet apps and make them run perfectly. Nothing will break, nothing will shrink, your market will be fine. Additionally we have rewritten many parts of the android framework and fixed countless of AOSP bugs to make way for these modifications - our "tablet mode" runs better on a phone than on a real tablet, that is guaranteed.​

PER-APP-COLOR Paranoidandroids newest invention. Define apps in your regular hybrid panel. See your phone fade into the color definition of your current app, press home or go elsewhere and it fades back. Create as many combinations you like, you can even dabble with opacity. This feature is made possible by our hybrid engine, which is unique to this rom.​

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] noobified:
Sweet!! I can't wait to see the feedback! PA was my ROM of choice for my S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] slick_rick:
Its as good as a nice looking stylus. That's about it right now. I'll add a list of play store alternative apps in OP that add back some of that lost twiz functionality.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sleevasteve:
I have a feeling this is going to be a recurring question in every ROM thread for the Note 2. If its an AOSP based ROM(or not based on TouchWiz) you can bet it won't have any of the bells and whistles of the TW S-Pen, but you'll at least have the normal touch functionality of it. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that was my understanding.

So if it's an AOSP ROM, unless it says something in the OP about cool S-Pen features that they implemented, just think of your S-Pen as a second finger. And if it's based on TW...chances are YES it does have all of the S-Pen features.

First off I love this rom!! I ran Notta's port on my Fascinate and S3!!! For a alpha build this thing is solid!! Spen works great, but I do have one request. Is there anyway a script could be made so when you removed the spen the nav buttons would pop up and disable hardware keys? That's really the only thing the spen needs for functionality since gestures do not work... such as drawing a less than sign to go back. Thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dcdgoth:
That's what I was thinking too. S Pen enhanced rom has much bigger file......thanks anyway.

gps wont lock until running a app from playstore(gps fix), then it locks instantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] MoeDaddy:
Looks amazing great work! For me I don't even use the spen but I am hooked on multi Window that is the only thing now that I've come to appreciate and couldn't live without. Can't wait until someone either makes an app that does it or they build it into cm or some other aosp build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] basedboii:
I loved this rom on the nexus, I cant wait until all the bugs get fixed for the note :)

Same thing happened to me just disable auto rotate and re enable it. Its under menu settings display

The market may have issues with some dpis

Well the market is working now I could finally update Google now. Auto rotate works now but once it rotates it won't rotate back until I turn off the screen

Sorry for rapid post. I fixed the auto rotate problem but my lock screen is cut off weirdly. Any fix for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
I did not expect this to be so...stable. It took a long time on the s3 to get aosp this good.

I had to install clockwork to get this going. Stunned. Looks so much better than twiz. So damn fast.

The lack of pen/camera/gallery stuff is big but there are many good alternative apps out there to get by.

First suggestion: install overSKreen, super video, hovernote, and the GMD gesture apps.

Edit: this is like a whole new phone again. It just gives incredible control over all this screen real estate that was wasted on this massive phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xXJay_RXx:

ROM feels so nice but there are a few bugs (as expected). But I had to go back to beans because I started missing the S-Pen. It works but it's missing the air view and it feels less sensitive. Plus you lose out on multiview.

Anybody know if we can dual boot roms? That would be perfect for this type of phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
Recovery is almost, almost, fast enough to be considered dual booting to me. It's not the same but it's impressive.

GPS does not work for me no matter what I do. Besides that it's a wonderful build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] diamantericos:
This is great I sold my note 1 last week and my note 2 arrives today as I have pa on my previous note and my tablet I'm happy I don't have to spent one minute with stock. Since this is aosp do have have to go thru steps t add APN ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] neckbonest:
boot manager worked on my rezound but i have not tryied it on this phone. it lets you boot between 2 roms(on free version)and up to 5 on paid version
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dukins:
Does this rom like most other aosp roms still not have bass when playing music? Before I flash, I want to be sure especially over bluetooth. Thanks for any help. Before the last update on the s3 it worked fine, but with the new base, no go. :silly:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fuse8499:
I'm sure I'm completely retarded but I can't seem to find the download link in the OP.

This rom is stupid fast. Best alpha rom I've ever used. Also I'm curious to see how my battery performs. On my GS3, Paranoid always gave me better battery life than any other rom out there. My battery is already amazing on stock tw. So I think this is gonna be great! Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] smalltownbird:
I have the same issue as you. Any ideas anyone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tgyberg:
Nice! What kernel does it run?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] RaptorMD:
Very cool ROM indeed and awesome work. I will be watching as things progress. For me its a tough decision to give up the TW featrues of the S-Pen over alternatives, not the app themselves, I am sure the alternatives will do just fine, but some of the automatic popup and quick integration that TW offers.

For me that was kind of the draw to getting the GN2 in the first place, not that I'm unwilling to try things because you can't be a crack flasher if you don't flash the crack on your Android :)

Couple of questions. If i flash to CWM to flash this, can I ever flash back to TWRP if needed? Also, can I get by with his as a daily driver?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] drum747:
I'm impressed with this rom. Lots of great features and snappy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
Definitely try GMD Spen Control. You can control the device more completely than you could on stock. It works on Twiz too of course.

It's hard to give up the extras but its hard to give up the AOSP speed too. The UI snappiness on PA is just no comparison.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] th0r615:
I flashed this ROM and used it all day. It pained me to flash back to a TouchWiz based ROM. 2 things kept it from being my daily driver.

1. Wonky call bug. Sometimes my calls are fine. Other times they can't hear me, I can't hear them, or the sound is garbage.

2. No GPS

3. (minor) With sounds off, sometimes my speaker clicks when there would have been a sound played.

I can't wait for more builds! :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
yes you should be able to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pumacat311:
So I totally understand why the s pen functionality and multi window are not a part of any of these new aosp ROMs being that they are part of TW, however, is there no way to port multi window over to be used on an aosp ROM? Personally I think its incredibly worth trying to do if it can be done.. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] th0r615:
Heres an article that does a good job of explaining the multi-window situation with CyanogenMod
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] IvanNCase:
Thanks for the article I remember seeing cornerstone and really wanting that feature but then Google basically shooting them down. I'm really hoping that now that Samsung has gone ahead and added this feature to their phones that cyanogen takes another look at adding this. Also it might help their case if they use Samsungs same way of only allowing apps that have a line of code that specifically says that it works with multi window because once it becomes more popular I'm sure more app developers will add that and Google can't complain about people using apps that shouldn't be used that way and having a bad experience.

P.S. I just noticed on Steve's Google+ page that he works for Samsung which would make me think that he would now what they would need to do to make Cyanogenmod at least as complient as Samsung.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jmorton10:
It always cracks me up when posters make claims like this.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] kregstrong:
is there anyway on the lockscreen to swap unlock to the left side and camera to the right? i cant figure out how to do it in cm10 lock screen, it lets me put everything except unlock to the left. also is there a bb10 style lockscreen anywhere to flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] guthrien:
I've been using both for quite a while, and AOSP seems to have quicker transitions throughout the UI. I can see reasons why that may be the case with Samsung's services running. Maybe I'm totally imagining it, I don't think so, but if it made you crack up well, nice for both of us!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndrewZorn:
Okay, I really need some help, I've been reading so many of these guides in ALL CAPS for about two hours now and I'm totally stuck.

I have Clockwork Recovery installed and it seems to be working perfectly. However, it will not flash PA, giving a "Status 7" error every time. I've tried redownloading PA. It's on the 'external' SD card, because I cannot access the internal storage, because the phone will not boot right now.

Please help, nothing works, this is really frustrating. I've flashed my Epic and phones before it a billion times, but this is extra frustrating, I went through so many steps just to have CWM Recovery working I really do not want to do it again.

EDIT I've also formatted the microSD a few times to FAT32 just to be sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
are you sure that your booting into cwm recovery and not asr stock recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndrewZorn:
Yes.

EDIT but I tried flashing another non-AOSP ROM with TW recovery (switched back), it flashes successfully at least, but I still can't get the phone to boot anything. Just hangs at the Galaxy Note II screen. Not sure why this is any more complicated than the other devices I've dealt with, I just simply CANNOT get this thing to boot a custom ROM. I'm going to be a noob and go back to stock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chakra:
Are you using the correct version of CWM, i don't think the official version works on our devices yet. You need the version from this forum. That's made for Verizon note 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] AndrewZorn:
That's the one I got too...

EDIT and I've downloaded FOUR versions of stock recovery, they ALL fail the MD5 check in Odin. Seriously, WHAT IS GOING ON!?

I've read that a PIT can be used to correct this, but don't see one here on the Verizon forum.

I can't believe what a nightmare this has become.
