When ever i dirty flash, i always reflash Gapps. Sometimes it wont work right. Dont hurt anything if you reflash them.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zackoch:
Just a few questions:

What recovery are you using?

Is this a dirty flash, or are you wiping data?

Are you flashing a custom kernel?

Are you seeing the hardware keys light up at all?

Are you flashing 12-28-2012-a1?

I've flashed this twice since I built it today and it took about 45 seconds until it got through the boot animation screen.

Generic rule of thumb, if you see the hardware keys light up, you're good to go.

I suggest you try a reflash. Anyone else flash 12-28-2012-a1?

Thanks!

hey whats up with the glacier :) i was a glacier user 2, in the past
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ..Cory..:
I dirty flashed a1 as soon as you posted it, works fine here!

I knew I recognized you! :p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
Unnecessary and doesn't accomplish anything. I wouldn't.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
There was times that my Google now and my playstore stop working after a dirty flash. Just speaking on experience. Reflashing gapps fixed it. In either case, reflashing Gapps does no harm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
The same thing happens to me. Whenever I update my ROM, I ALWAYS reflash Gapps because the Gapps close (not force close, they just close when you launch them) and a reflash fixes that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
Then you've done something else wrong. In 3 years of rooting and flashing nightlies I've never once had a dirty flash cause gapps issues.

If you like doing it, knock yourself out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
My main point is, its harmless if you do so. I guess if your really that impatient and been that lucky then don't reflash gapps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ..Cory..:
Would any of you suggest using CPU Sleeper? I hear good and bad about it.. I just want to know before I buy it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
I use it and it works great.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ..Cory..:
It causes my phone to heat up! :(

Doesn't work on liquid smooth for me at all:mad:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] corwest:
On all my cm ROMs I've ran the CPU sleeps fine on its own. I personally don't see the need for the app
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zackoch:
It depends on the kernel. I've had it cause issues with not coming out of wake lock, as well as the phone not going into deep sleep. I've also had it work fairly well.

This happened to me as well. Like REALLY hot. Not good on a motorcycle in the summer :) if you do use this program install CPU spy to ensure your phone still goes into deep sleep.

I don't want to start arguments, BUT many devs, including myself will tell you that cpusleeper runs as a service, therefore you may be canceling out what 'benefit' putting that CPU to sleep does. However to each his own. If it works for you, great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ..Cory..:
Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
Really? It doesn't heat up for me on Liquid All-Star V5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ..Cory..:
I guess it all depends on usage and preference.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] admiraljkb:
Hey guys - quick sanity check - if you've integrated Gapps (some or all) into the ROM using Titanium Backup, you will have to reflash GApps each time you flash the ROM. Not sure thats whats going on here, but thats the simplest explanation of some Gapps weirdness after flashing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
No, I don't really use TiBU. Whenever I don't reflash the Gapps after I reflash a ROM the Gapps don't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] idb117:
i use rom toolbox & reinstall apps,not data. never fails for me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zackoch:
I really don't dirty flash... so I don't have any input :-/ It takes like 5 minutes to set up my phone again after a clean flash. The only time I have a problem is when I have a good save game going haha. Then I'll use titanium just for ease...

Taking a break for new years! There was a few merges on Saturday that had to do with the recovery image..... then yesterday they merged a fix for the terminal application which I already fixed.... so nothing has really changed between nighties since Friday.

Hey Zach, I need some help understanding some things if you would help...

On the BBQ change log, I see there are changes in the notes but the mako isn't our device. But its still showing in the Hercules section... does that mean those changes took effect on our device?

Thanks man! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] android88:
The mako is the codename for the Nexus 4 which is running CM10.1 (Android 4.2). If there are merges for the Nexus 4 CM10.1, then we might see the same merges once we get CM10.1.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ..Cory..:
Can anyone tell me how to fix this....? It's really rustling my jimmies. :banghead:

Clicking apply just FCs the theme chooser.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zackoch:
Hmmm that's a good one :) I just checked, if I open up themes from trebuchet I can click on the System (current) and click apply and it works.

Try manually force closing the Theme chooser under all applications.

Did you add another theme?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ..Cory..:
I already tried to force close and it still continues. I also wiped caches and flashed the ROM again. Its okay though, next update I'll full wipe :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zackoch:
Status Update:

I changed some things in my build environment, I'm re-syncing source right now. I will hopefully have a build up later today.

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
Good job. At this rate you guys will have a much more stable 4.2.1 then GS3 does. No worries btw, 4.2.1 is only official stable on the Nexus 4. This makes me kind of miss the GS2.

But oh yeah, enough chatter. I ran an AOKP 4.2.1 build in GS3 forums, and I couldn't find my "files". Well as of 4.2.1, the file structure has been changed. Your files will be moved to a folder called /0/ (yes, zero) where it will then house all of your normal directories and downloads. Weird move, but yeah, just a heads up for you 4.2.1 testers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DM_Sledge:
I thought the file structure change was due to the multiple users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheLastSidekick:
Probably right. Makes sense. It's a big pain however.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Phateless:
Wipe data for the theme chooser app in app settings and wipe the app's data too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zackoch:

Screen flickers when I open Flipboard or xbox smart glass. And maybe some other apps, is this normal or is it a glitch? is there any fix for it? Running the latest version

Edit: it was an app called smart status bar that was causing a glitch, as soon as I turned it off everything was normal but my question is will it affect my phone if I keep using the app despite the glitch? I was concerned earlier because I didn't know what was causing it, I thought it was a bad flash or something
[HTC One X] dannyboii12345:
Hi guys, first time poster here. I've been reading a lot about how you guys do benchmark tests so I decided to do one of my own. I am running stock standard Jelly Bean 4.1.1 I received in an OTA update this morning. I'm from Australia on Vodafone. Anyway, I read that people were flipping out because the HTC One X ALMOST passed 5000 but mine just got 6600 about 5 times in a row. Is this normal?
[HTC One X] areestocrat:
Really? Mine 6700. I think its normal

[Motorola Atrix 2] IceFragmatic:
Hi all,

can anyone advise where the OTA updates are saved on the phone? Our provider has issued an OTA update to ICS (Telecom NZ) and I look after 40 odd Atrix2 handsets....don't really want to download the update 40 times.

I want to try coying it to each hanset or install using the same tools used for fxz files.

Thanks
[Motorola Atrix 2] Fall of Enosis:
It's stored in the "Cache" folder on the root of your phone. ;) Obviously you need to be rooted to access the folder itself.
[Motorola Atrix 2] IceFragmatic:
Thank you
[Motorola Atrix 2] IceFragmatic:
Further to my post above,

I have approx 75 Atrix2 phones that I am contemplating upgrading to ICS (official Telecom NZ release) from GB. They are all setup identically.

What would be the easiest way? I have tried setting up a phone and making a backup using bootstrap version of CWM, then 'recovering' this onto a GB phone - unfortunately it is not that easy.

Any other suggestions?

Currently, some of the phones have the bootstrap files on them so I am likely going to need to remove this to allow the update to occur.

About 50 of the phones are brand new and do not have any bootstrap or changes from original.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djsynth:
title is self explanatory

One X costs same as nexus 4, much easier accessible to buy and has 32gb storage vs 16 which i feel may be not enough as i usually had 5-6 high graphics intense games 1gb+ each plus about 4gb music, 1 or 2 2gb movies and couple of ebooks not even mentioning videos or photos so I'm split between weather to buy HTC ONE X or Nexus 4? I will buy which ever has significantly more screen on time battery performance, if HTC ONE X has better battery I will get the HTC ONE X regardless the fact that the N4 may be 2x more poweerful int terms of pure processing power

what you think guys?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elliot.newnham:
A lot of people would say One X is a great phone... Just note your buying into a dated platform. I get great screen on time on my phone. but I doubt either are spectacular. Just charge it during the day.

+has a slightly better screen, images seem to float at the top ofmthe glass.

- worse in the sunlight

- carries a lot larger than the Nexus4. Just looks bigger for some reason.

- worse calling and phone quality. May have been fixed by updates.

+ remember the battery being better on the OneX

- sense has a horrible flow to it.

-its already been forgotten by htc
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Simpoh:
How do I flash a new version of a ROM without re installing all my apps or contacts? For example if I have v1 of a person's ROM and they upgrade to v2, How would I flash the new version of the ROM without having to redo all my apps, contacts, email etc...?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] daniel4653:
All you do is flash the updated ROM the wipe cache and dalvik then reboot :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Simpoh:
Ok thank you so much.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] teh roxxorz:
Where he is right, you should still do a full wipe even when flashing the same rom if its a firmware upgrade, or major backend framework has been modified.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DrgnRebrn:
If you do a android backup prior to flashing, you can do an advanced restore of data only, from your nandroid backup, and all of your apps & data will restore just as it was before - while maintaining the integrity of the updated version of the ROM you use.

Super easy, super fast, super efficient.

ROM - Odexed Blue LJ7 JB "Holy Grail"

Kernel - KT747

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] implodingspace:
clarify best clean install, ie what needs to be wiped

I posted in a different thread, "moment to epic now S3" asking basically what constitutes a full wipe when flashing a rom, or flashing mods. On my epic CWM it was pretty clearly stated in almost all OP wipe all 3, times 3. If not it was said wipe davlik and cache times 3. I'm using the twrp recovery and there are so many wipe options, and I don't know which ones are necessary for a clean install when flashing a new ROM. My phone was giving my so much trouble yesterday i wiped all but the external and flashed a stock rom, then odined a stock rooted to be back at square one. But I don't want to flash a new rom until I here from others the cleanest way to install. I noticed for flashing a kernel it said I had to fix permissions also? So I guess it seems less cut a dried, 3 options (with epic recovery) and before I start screwing around with my phone I wanted some clarification, for flashing roms, flashing modems, flashing mods...what needs to be wiped, or what constitutes a full wipe. I can't assume that a clean wipe means everything and if it doesn't well obviously that would be nice to not have to wipe internal card etc if i don't have to

thank you much

Hello

I hope someone can help me with this.

This is the first time I'm trying to install a new rom and had a problem. Now my phone doesn't start anymore. It hangs on the htc logo screen.

I'm trying to install the rom from the following link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2027304

WHat I did is :

Used all in one htc one x plus utitlity and flashed the boot.img found in the link.

After this the phone started to hang.

Now I wantot install the rom and gapp file but I don't have that in my phone yet.

I went to mount > mount usb storage in order to used adb push to put the zip files inside my phone but I get an error message saysing "device not found"

What can I do from here? please let me know what to do.

Thank you
[HTC One X+] Clonz:
Which version of the phone do you have? Sounds like the INTL one to me. You can still follow my tut here to get your rom and gapp's on your phone to flash.

Good luck
[HTC One X+] gokun:
Maybe a silly question, but, do you have the windows drivers installed for the phone?
[HTC One X+] cpu2007:
Thank you for the quick reply.

I managed to make it work.

Basically it seems like the phone takes time to get recognised by my system, is this normal?

After mounting the usb storage from recover and plugging the usb, when I used adb push, it says device not found.

After a minute, I used the command line again and it worked.

I pushed both the rom and gapps.zip file and installled them and now it's working.

My question now is: I had apps, messages,calls and contacts - is it possible to get them from the backup as well as keep this rom that I've just installed?

PS : is not connecting to the wifi, stating that there are authentication problem, is this normal?

Thank you
[HTC One X+] cpu2007:
Can someone tell me if the wifi connection is an issue with this phone when intalling the rom mentioned earlier.

I had apps and other stuff on my phone, I can still see their respective folders, can I restore my apps back?

ps: I made a full backup of my official rom, I wanted to restore it back and this is what I've done:

Wiped system,dalvik,cache and factory

then restored all three partitions of my backup.

It turns on but it keeps hanging on the htc one logo

what can I do in this case?

Thank you
[HTC One X+] Clonz:
I could be completely wrong but you might have to flashed the boot.img from your backup? did you flash a boot.img from a custom rom? TWRP won't flash boot.img properly so it has to be done in the bootloader.

Hope this sheds some light on your issue

Cheers!
[HTC One X+] cpu2007:
When we make the backup, TWRP doesn't create a boot image file,at least not explicitly.

The file with the name "boot" have md5 and win extension.

I thought the same thing, that probably I need to flash the boot.image file as I did flash a custom boot before installing cm10.

So where is the boot.img file for my stock? how can I extract it?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ashwill:
Hello guys, I'm pretty new to cellphone ROM flashing and modifying.

I successfully flashed the Jedi X7.2 on to my Mobilicity Note 2 T889V, and with a little effort I even flashed the Rogers modem on to it and fully enabled 4G/LTE service since I use Fido, they pretty much share the same frequency.

Then I tried the Bullet Kernel 1.9.01b made by cmenard on top of the Jedi x7.2, which then I lost my data, no 2G, 3G, 4G at all.

So I went ahead and tried to flash back to Jedi with all the wipe data/factory restore and everything, still no luck.

I also formatted the entire sdcard directory, trying to start from fresh, with some other types of ROMs such as MyRom and so on. Now my phone even keeps restarting every minute or so.

After a while I started to become frustrated, it was perfect if I've stopped when I got the 4G, any suggestions? I really really appreciate any input on this problem. Thanks a ton

OMFG, punctuate. My crypto devices can't decipher the longest run-on sentence in history!

To the OP, I would odin the original stock image back onto your phone. Then, update to the latest update via keis or OTA. At this point, you are at least functioning again. THEN, maybe try out Jedi.

Side note, why did you try the new kernal in the first place?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] exalgopana:
Your posts are really really bad. Not to insult you. But ive read some of them and also you give bad advice and frequently dont really know what you are doing yet you give advice to people. ...this is not good.

OP you lost your data possibly because you did not remove the t889 modem from the firmware that you flashed? Does jedi come with the t889 modem....or t889v modem? What about imei number....do you still have that?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] seeking:
I'm pretty sure that Jedi X has the saber kernal built in...no need to flash a kernel. The developer is packing it with the ROM because it is not ready to be a stand alone kernel in his opinion (last i read anyways)

I'm on Jedi X and I didnt have to do anything to the kernel and my data works fine (minus MMS)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] exalgopana:
Hes using CANADIAN T889V

dont you think that has something to do with it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ashwill:
Thanks guys for the advice. The Jedi was actually working great, and the Bullet kernel is nothing wrong either, it's just the Bullet kernel I added in on top of the Jedi that screw things up.

Mine is the T889V, the Canadian version of T889, so according to some posts the developers made here the only difference is the modem, and that's why the Jedi ROM has a T889V modem patch.

However, as I mentioned, I unlocked the phone and I'm with Fido right now, and Fido uses Rogers' transmitting towers so I flashed the modem of SGH-i317M to get the 4G LTE frequency for Fido and I actually succeeded.

I'll try something out, thanks guys again.

Any other suggestions are very very welcomed!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Darkshado:
I got your PM, but this sort of question is better discussed in-thread.

Let's backtrack a little here...

So you've got a T889V flashed with an I317M modem, on Fido, does service work on it currently? What about your IMEI?

Are your drivers correct? You should be seeing one and probably two serial ports appear in the Windows device manager.

Did you try disconnecting and reconnecting the USB cable after changing to DM mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ashwill:
Thanking for getting back to me, really appreciated.

To answer your questions:

- Yes the I317M Rogers' modem did work until I flashed a custom kernel on top of the Jedi ROM

- After the kernel flashing my mobile data was gone, and the IMEI became 0

- My drivers are the newest samsung 1.5.9.0 USB Driver for Mobile Phones

- Yes I did disconnect the device before changing it to the DM+MODEM+ADB mode.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] cobraboy85:
your issues is running a modem that is not compatible with the modules you flashed when you flashed the kernel.

this is why it is a good idea to just run things that are built for your device and your device only. you might have to odin back to stock to get your device working again. you should check your settings>about device> and see if your IMEI is still there.... i would suggest sticking with t mo builds in the future if you are not quite sure what you are doing. blindly flashing things without doing some careful reading can be a recipe for a bricked device or permanently lost data/device ID
