[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashishkrishnan:
Hi..xda developers i have an GT-I9300 JellyBean Samsung Galaxy S3 bought just 2 months back ...and i am interested in rooting... i know what rooting gives to access. But I have some general questions.

Q1: I like S Voice and the apps that are provided by samsung like remote controls and pop play etc..will the root firmware have also this applications.

Q2: My os is currently official Jelly Bean 4.1.1 and I heard that samsung is pushing JB4.1.2 to s3. CAN I USE SOFTWARE UPDATE ON MY my phone to download them?

Q3: if once rooted ...can i get back my offcial JB 4.1.1 back to my phone by any means that could be also downloading from the internet and den flashing it.

Q4: rooting voids warranty...but if i am able restore original firmware by flashing...will it still void my warranty the next time I go to service center...

Q5: what does rooting exactly do...other than super user access.

If possible please provide me firmware links of jelly bean 4.1.1.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritchie46:
A1: If samsung rom, yes

A2: No, but there are 4.1.2 Roms so you can do it yourself ;)

A3: Unroot guides

A4: Yes, there is a flash counter inside your phone

A5: The possibility to flash custom software and write acces to all your phone
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freddy1991:
To Q4,

rooting voids warranty and leaves a flash counter just like ritchie46 answered

But you can use the app,Triangle Away to reset the flash counter and i think that would restore the warranty

Btw, why search for 4.1.1, you cam download stock 4.1.2 rom Sammobile and flash via Odin
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonners59:
Freddy

I have a related question too.

I understand that root gives more control and i can then use apps like Titanium Backup, Adaway and some great security apps, but I am not quite sure what it means to the OS/formware. I.e. i needed to do a fw update and had to unroot my S3.

I installed a stock rom, rest the counter, etc. But now my S3 is not rooted.

If i re do the root, will i be putting it back to the old fw, or are there specific root for each rom, or does it not matter?

This is a silly question, i know, but i am not a sw guy so i am not quite sure what i am doing to my device, just know how to follow instructions and understand the benefits...

Cheers

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Root has nothing to do with firmware. You can just flash any official firmware, and you'll be on stock. Rooting just gives you the root user privileges, and leaves everything else intact. So you'd be on same fw.

Hey guys i bought my sgs3 just a few days ago and I allready hate the stock firmware :P

I just want to check if there is a way to restore the phone completely to original (incl. flash counter) after rooting/tipping the flash counter

Yes you can. Triangle away unroots and reseta flash counter. Full wipe from recovery after flashing official firmware through odin will bring your phone to original state.

Hi folks,

does anybody knows if there is any custom rom for this device. It is an Haipad Mtk6577 I9300.

There should be jellybean rom and recovery somewhere, but I didn't find anything

Thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] marcomesa:
Maybe there is no Rom specifically for the Haipad i9300, but maybe maybe some other ROM are compatible too. there are tons of this smartphone and a lot of them with JB...I assume there should be one good for me. Any idea?

You know I think I need to "save" my actual ROM in case of bad flashing...I gues it could be done with spflashtool...am I right?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
I am afraid I have to answer that stock launcher can't have 6 icons on the dock.

Either third party launcher or a system mod.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Pretty sure if you feel lag on those launchers it's something with your phone not the launchers. And calm down man, so hostile for no reason
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpepe:
I'm a total novice but my Nexus 7 has 6 icons and is the same OS.

Might there be a way to fiddle the settings? (eg screen resolution)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyraOfFire:
Because the Nexus 7 has a bigger screen so its stock ROM was designed with more room for icons.

Yes, you can play with the system settings.... but why would you want to do so if there are ROMs/apps out there that do those thing perfectly fine?

I won't stop you from playing with your phone or developing your own ROM though :)

Edit: And Apex is fantastic. I used it from version 0.3, never lagged or slow (well, except for a few beta builds)

As I said, I know nothing of the technical aspects of this.

However, I have changed buildprop to alter icon sizes , so it seemed at least a bit plausible...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phermey:
nothing about nova or apex is going to slow you down. you will never know its there. promise. and you get mad customizing from them. i dont use apex, but with nova you can speed up the animations and screen swipes. these arent go launchers by the way. these are launchers that some devs will pack in their roms because they run so seamlessly.

Please look at the picture http://img51.imageshack.us/img51/3360/img4165kv.jpg.

It shows my desktop wallpaper on SGS1 on the left and SGS2 on the right. The top left part of the wallpaper looks fine on SGS1 but it turns ugly dark green on SGS2. Please notice that the other colors (pink, light green etc) look very similar on both devices. I set the brightness on both devices on equal level. My SGS2's screen displays like this only dark colours, bright colours are fine. Similar thing happens in AOSP/CM9/10 settings panel to dark grey gradients - it turns kinda dark green and ugly.

Here's another example: http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/4066/img4166a.jpg. AnTuTu background on the SGS1 (left) doesn't look so dark.

Am I the only one experiencing the issue? Do your devices display equally bad dark colours as mine? Could you post photos of your CM9/10 settings panel or AnTuTu's main screen?

[General Questions and Answers] SpaceKush:
Thanks to Tytung and the wonderful NexusHD2 Jelly Bean ROM!!! I have no complaints or problems what so ever. :D

I know its not so much of an important question and this thread will probably get deleted lol But I just wanted to know if there was anyway of removing the bottom bar (3 buttons on the bottom)? Theres a back button, home button, and recent apps button all on the bottom that came with the ROM. I just find it a bit unnecessary since the phone already has 5 physical buttons and just simply wanted to know if there was something that could possibly remove it.

Thats funny because I remember when ICS was pulled for the Play and you said that Sonys motto shouldnt be "make.believe" but "dont.believe" and you werent going to buy another Sony product again.......

Anyway, the Play was a failure. An experiment following in the N-Gage footsteps. Apart from all the people in the Play section on XDA and my brother I dont know a single other person with a Play.

Keep dreaming guys
[Xperia Play General] mehdi.moha:
i can't use any other phone without game pad ! i'm 28 years old , the only gameing things that i can have on my home ( with my fameli ) and on my office is the xperia play 2 !!!

that's why i KEEP DREMING
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
So you cant just buy a USB gamepad? They are just as good as the Play gamepad. I also find it very hard to believe that at 28 years old you cannot buy a console for your home.

Sorry to break it to you but what company would release a follow-up to a commercial failure? Nokia failed on the N-Gage then decided to revamp the N-Gage brand in the N95 series. It FAILED AGAIN. The mobile market is advancing faster than most other things right now so a "gaming optimised" device will only be top-of-the-line for a few months before being surpassed. It reminds me of the PC market. A New PC is outdated the second its made.

People need to drop the "Play 2" thing as its really getting old now.

[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
More than expected? They mustnt have expected to shift very many then. Dont get me wrong, I love the Play but it was still a failure. I remember asking not long after the Play came out in my local Carphone Warehouse store and 3 months after launch they had shifted 1 Play. A similar story can be read here http://m.mobot.net/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-sales-figures

With absolutely piss poor sales there will not be a Play 2 and Sony would have to be absolutely retarded if they made one
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Well in that case theres gonna be one cause Sony is retarded 90% ofvthe time im like wtf are they thinking I coukd manage the company better than that.
[Xperia Play General] CTU_Loscombe:
Sony is split into different divisions. The Console/Handheld division is the side plagued with idiocy. Removing features from PS3 such as OtherOS install and lack off cross-game chat. The Vita is failing already due to Nintendo pretty much holding monopoly of the market.

The mobile division is doing ok though. I know quite a few happy Xperia series users. Sony were smart not releasing ICS on the Play due to the gamepad messing up. Some people have this thought that they are entitled to every single update that is released by Android. It comes down to peoples stupid buying ideas of buying for what the device can do in the future instead of buying it for what it can do at the time of release.

This thread should be locked, it's complete balderdash and a preconception of the 50/50 obvious. *Nobody* knows if Sony will release another Android gaming phone except for High-up Sony staff, which Mark is *not* in contact with.
[Xperia Play General] psxpetey:
Haha so true if theyed stop the bullcrap the could be more of a competitor to nintendo but like you said they just keep up the bull the main problem is there lack of sofware for the hardware. The best example of this is the xperia play aka psm disaster lol psm actually disgusts me now ps1 was ok but what in the flying hell is on there now talk about.

I for one am 25 and a seperate gamepad is out of the question.

Im not going to carry around another item just to play a quick round I

IF

I have time. Sometimes I just want to try a save state once or twice literally 20secs.

Same with when I go mountain biking, or snowboarding I already have multiple items I dont want or may not even remember a seperate controller. And I may not have time or even want to get a little emulation time in. Same with surfing if I by chance am waiting in the car, these things are relatable to many other times your outside.

A phone with a slide out is always nthing else to remember, not to mention at 26 and most my friends arent into emulation or gaming really so im not about to start busting put a gamepad and akwardly having my phone clipped or on my lap and pretend its not pretty odd. I would never do that at waiting rooms like the dmv either, I dont mind people know im a gamer but that just seems rediculous to me unless your at home or in a car. Seems like it would draw attention when I for one am trying to chill blend in.

Meanwhile with a slideout it just looks like im texting like a regular person non fanatic gamer.

[HTC Droid DNA] earthrocker:
there's definitely a lag.. not as bad as the gs3, but it takes a second or so to register back to home.

how many things do you guys have on your screen?? my theory is that the more on the screen, the more lag going home. there's never launcher redraw, so maybe that's senses way of doing it. Instead of redrawing everyone you go home, it just takes a little longer. all of my screens are filled with icons or widgets lol
[HTC Droid DNA] TXI Kaze:
Yeah, definitely not as bad as the gs3. I wanted to throw mine before I figured it out was because of S-Voice. I only have three home screen with a total of five widgets.
