Thanks guys for all your input!

Just one question... I don't have unlimited data... Will using dropbox take up a big chunk of my data usage? Could I have it set so that it syncs only when I'm on wifi?

And all these programs that you're mentioning that allows me to customize the ringtone etc... do they take up space in ram? e.g. are these things something that runs in the background or something that "unlocks" different options?

It's just so different with apple where phone settings are set.. and nothing can be changed. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] xweaponx:
You can set Dropbox to upload during wifi or wifi & data.

The ringtones can be changed in settings. Are you talking about a ringtone maker or trimmer?

Everything can be changed!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flaring afro:
The ringtone program takes up ram and is running, but is like 350KB or something like that and takes no noticeable amount of processing. We have 2GB of ram o it really doesn't matter. It also will stay up as a notification, but if you hold the notification and hit "app info", you can then uncheck the show notifications box and it will be invisible.

hi guys, i would like to buy a portable charger for my samsung galaxy s3 i9300. so i was wondering what would be the best current output be to cater for my device? like 1A or 2A or 2.1A?

Thankyou! :o
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibanezq:
1A is enough.

1A should be little bit quicker.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jermaynee:
How about one with 0.8A and 1.5A. Will both of it be okay for the phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
Your device uses 1Amp max. The keyword is "max"; if it gets less it charges more slowly, if it gets more it only uses 1Amp @ 5Volt (5Watt)

On a sidenote; make sure the charger pops up as "AC" and not USB, since USB-chargng is limited to 0.5 Amp on USB2 and 0.75(?) Amp on USB3. Of course you can override the defaults on a custom kernel but only forget to set it back once before plugging it into your computer and you may cause irreparable damage to the computer.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jermaynee:
But how do I know if it's AC or USB? It just stats that output 5/1A on the portable charger.

Thanks.

Hi,

this is my first post on xda and first Android device :) well actually it's a present for my daughter. First i'd like to say that you guys doing a great work here! Thank you!

Last couple of days (and nights) I spend reading and reading and reading.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1905674 - now 101 pages! I am not in UK or US or any other country where nabi app shop is working, the only option for me is G play store. So rooting and installing gapps is the way for me. Unfortunately jmztaylor's method not working for me. Not only for me on page 26 (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1905674&page=26) mr_tris reported of having the same problem, but never got a solution for it and I see that MikeDVH (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35985909&postcount=1020) just reported the same issue:

failed to mount data (invalid argument)

-- Could not mount :/sdcard

-- Aborting

Backup failed!

I am getting the same error. There is plenty of free space (3+GB) and 2GB SD card. No apps on tablet, just configured Nabi mode.

The only explanation I can come up with that it's something different in UK model of Nabi2. The model reads: NABI2-NV7A-UK

My Nabi2 came with 1.9.29 and before attempting to root I upgraded to 1.9.37

I am thinking to trying http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2041224 flash with his supplied stock version 1.9.37, but don't wanna mess something. I can supply any additional information or images needed, but to be honest will need some guidance in doing that as not very familiar with all this flashing thing, but not afraid of CLI ;)

I can not post in that thread, but maybe it will be good to have thread dedicated to UK version of Nabi 2. Any other Nabi2-UK owners having problems/success?

regards

Nabi 2 - UK Root and Gapps Install

After some more tries I finally rooted my nabi2-UK and successfully installed gapps!

Original files and credit go to jmztaylor from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1905674

New gapps and credit (no "Android Upgrading" message every reboot) go to t499user: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35888524 and manual recovery and flash http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016463

I’ve done “semi manual/automatic” if you can say that. So the steps were:

1. From http://junefabrics.com/android/ installed PdaNet for Android to have all proper drivers. My system win 7 64

2. set everything according http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1590800

3. ran jmztaylor insatall.bat and selected option 2

4. in the background watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcAIsePNYVE – found some very useful notices – Thanks!

5. followed till the end, with the error: failed to mount data (invalid argument) and -- Could not mount :/sdcard

6. in TWRP selected Backup and done backup to external SD card

7. nabi being still in TWRP on pc opened command prompt and run:

adb push root.zip /sdcard/root.zip

and

adb push gapps.zip /sdcard/gapps.zip

8. In TWRP selected Install, navigated to /sdcard and selected root.zip after it was installed, the same done for gapps.zip

9. rebooted, run superSU, google play was installed, downloaded root checker – Congratulations! This device has root access!

Rebooted several times – everything ok.

I believe that this can be done in a better way, but this is just my experience and maybe it will help someone.

Sorry if some may sound in proper – English is not my native language :)

Happy New Year! :)

failed to install / invalid argument whilst pushing root and Gapps on Nabi 2

A huge thank you for the 'how to' and files to help me root my nieces Nabi 2! ;0) I successfully rooted and installed Google apps, although I did it differently to the above methods.

(I'm using windows 8 and the Nabi 2 was already on 1.9.37. The device shows as NABI2-NV&A-UK under my computer)

I kept stalling at the point after the files were being pushed to the SD card. I also had the 'invalid argument / failed transfer' message flash up on the Nabi for a split second, and then hanging as the Nabi was disconnected from my laptop, until a reboot was done; but then it was not in developer mode. After going round in circles and reading for about an hour and a half (and watching the helpful video on youtube), and then coming here to see the above post, I tried the command prompt push method but still no joy! When I tried that method the files being pushed would show up on the Nabi screen but they would not install, there was also an error message after each attempt (I cannot remember exactly what it said now, sorry).

Two hours later and still no luck. Then I thought 'what if I did it this way' > ... I rebooted the Nabi 2, with a 2gb SD card in it. I opened 'my computer' and formatted the SD card. I dragged and dropped the Root.zip and Gapps.zip files to the root of SD card. I ran the adb driver app, via the command prompt (which in windows 8 can be accessed by pushing the windows key and X, then choosing 'command prompt' as there's no link for it in accessories) and then I ran the jmzrootpack 'install.bat' file to get the Nabi into developer mode. Then I entered install via the menu and the files were there! I installed the root and gapps files as in the youtube video, rebooted and everything was installed and worked as it should. Job done!

Once again thank you to the developers who made this possible ;0)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] johnsonvision:
I am rooted on stock touchwiz rom. I have done a few tweaks such as the swapping of internal memory for external, editing some CSC feature files to enable the sound on/off menu in camera. I've enabled the multi-view for all my apps and have added the wifi toggle my notification dropdown.

After not having an issue prior, I noticed the other day Instagram force closes every time I try to open it and does so immediately. I have deleted and re installed many times and several different ways, i.e with Titanium Backup. I haven't been able to find any real suggestions on how to fix it, so was thinking of doing a factory reset. I have backed up everything using Titatanium and plan on using that to restore my phone back to how it was.

I know I wont lose root after the factory reset, but will I lose all those other tweaks that I mentioned in the beginning? And will restoring from a Titanium backup just re-apply the problem that caused Instagram to force close thus putting me back to square one? Has anyone else had any trouble with Instagram crashing?

Thanks in advance guys!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ducksFANjason:
I don't use Instagram so I can't comment on experiencing crashing from it. I can say that I've had some issues restoring apps with Titanium Backup. More often than not though, when I re-installed, the problem was solved. If you do a factory reset, you'll lose any adjustments you've made, except for adjustments that are included in the rom firmware itself.

Based off of the tweaks you listed, you may just want to check out Bean's Revision 4 (flashable using TWRP). Just make sure you've unlocked your bootloader. Bean's REV 4 has the option to automatically run all of the tweaks you added manually. It's actually a really nice, clean rom.

Here's a link to the thread for Bean's rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2032447

Hey thanks for the insight. I know I should probably unlock my bootloader. After coming from a Nexus, I got burned out from flashing ROMs and keeping up with the latest builds so with this phone I told myself I'm gonna try and keep it stock, which progressed to just rooting, then doing more and more tweaks. I'm a sucker for tinkering.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Sepero:
I'm unable to post in the actual thread for the Project FreeGee, because my post count is too low. I wanted to report a tiny typo in the FreeGee script for unlocking the bootloader. In the file: freegee.sh

line 6

exhit 250

Also, I'm planning to attempt flashing this FreeGee bootloader+recovery on a LG Motion 4G. It is also a snapdragon CPU, but a different chipset. I understand that there is a high chance that it will fail and hard brick the device. Since the authors of FreeGee haven't revealed their "secret sauce", then I feel I can't know for certain that it won't work without trying. Unless one of the authors of FreeGee can assure me that it won't work, then I plan to try it in the coming weeks.

Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] engine95:
This probably wont help you but...the Freegee v.5 in that post has been revised. Up to v.54 and a paid app from the Playstore. So i'd guess its been fixed.

As for trying it on something its not built for...good luck.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
I can assure you it won't work. Bootloaders are not compatible with different devices for many reasons. Flashing our bootloader on your device would certainly brick you. The devices are not at all similar.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] xboxfanj:
Unfortunately for you, we were simply lucky. We simply use the Nexus 4 bootloaders and VOILA, we are unlocked. Unfortunately for you, there is not a similar Nexus device to you. You could try building Qualcomm's LK (Little Kernel), which could help you, but unfortunately for you, this bootloader here will not help you.

thanks, even if we built a kernel we would not be able to flash it because of the locked bootloader :\

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury1337:
Here's my problem, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 I9100 from a friend like 4 months ago, which means I don't really know if it's a factory unlocked device or international unlocked device or unlocked using some kind of methods that I don't really know anything about them...

Anyway, I rooted it probably a month after buying it, and I installed two or three custom roms her and there. (I think I installed the X-TremE CM10 1.5 Pure, 1.6 Pure and others roms from other developpers...)

Finally I found the perfect custom rom that I used all the time until now, it was the SuperNexus rom from Faryaab.

Everything went fine until today, I decided to try a new rom, the Omega v16.2 from ::indie:: (I can't post the link sorry but it's very easy to find).

Factory/Data Wipe, Wiped the cache and the Dalvik Cache and installed from zip, everything went fine.

The problem here is that all this time I was using my default modem which I found with the phone, the XXLPX (not a quite loved and famous modem from what I've seen), but the rom I installed was "equiped" with the XXLSJ modem (I don't know if we can say so, i'm not really a professional), so my Baseband version actually changer to I9100XXLS6 (it was I9100XXLPX as said above) and know I have in my hands a SIM Locked device...

I tried the Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock application from Chainfire and the Galaxy_S Unlock from HELROZ and none of the two have worked.

I switched back to the SuperNexus rom, redownloaded the XXLPX modem and reflashed it through the CWM Recovery menu and my phone is still SIM Locked.

So my question here is, does the fact that the rom have changed my modem version locked my phone, or did I do something wrong when installing ?

And is there anyway I could reunlock my phone using any method (probably not, but I ask anyway, who knows) ?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gastonw:
You tried those apps with busybox right? sometimes you need to install another busybox installer version to getting it unlocked.

Have you tried Galaxy S2 SIM Unlock?

if you have a tendency to switch ROMs too often, you might want an app that keep that locking nightmare away.

if all apps fail, look into what these guys did (

do not replace the bin file posted there

, it's a diffrent method):

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury1337:
Thanks alot for this ! it's gonna be really useful next time i'm gonna have a problem like that ! But I've already reunlocked it so I can't really try :c. I took it to some "specialist" guy that did it. I still don't know what's the method he used though...

As I've said I'm not a professional my self so it would be kind from you if you explain me two or three things.

First, what do you mean with busybox ? I'm not quite sure if the rom I was using (the Omega) while testing the two unlocking applications listed above was "equiped" with that.

Second thing, you didn't really answered my question which I'm gonna reformulate now:

Can I actually change the version of the Baseband of my phone ? If yes, do I lose the SIM Unlock ? And if I can change the Baseband version and lose the actual SIM Unlock, can I reunlock it and keep that version of the Baseband or do I need to get back to the old version by reflashing it, then reunlock it ?

And finally, the efs folder that I need to backup every time before flashing a new rom (I didn't knew that), what does he contain ? From what I've seen he contains the nv_data.bin file which I think contains the unlock, and that folder also contains some IMEI informations and other stuff. If I actually back it up before installing a new rom, and if that rom changes the baseband version which will probably lock my phone, is it safe to put back that backed up efs folder while keeping the same rom and the same baseband version that came with it ? Does it reunlock the phone ? And do I just put it back using a root explorer and just overwrite it the existing ones ?

Yeah I know, too many questions a man can handle, but I really need to be informed of all those things so I can be aware of what I'm doing.

And thanks in advance for your patience.

Best regards.
