[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] housry23:
What you are asking here is purely opinion. I prefer TWRP and others prefer CWM. I like Twrp because I can easily flash multiple files instead of flashing them all separately. Custom Rom I use is CyanogenMod. But again, that's all opinion. See, we have an AOSP device, so most roms will be very stable. Custom Roms are based on AOSP instead of Touchwiz or other skinned Android version. This means less hacking is required to get things working in custom roms. When a Samsung or HTC phone gets CyanogenMod or another AOSP based Rom, there are several hacks to get things working and even then, not everything works. You will find all Roms to be stable. I choose CM because they have great features, but don't go overboard. AOKP IMO is too much and most of it is useless to me. But, some people like having all the options AOKP brings.

I suggest trying things out! That's the best part of Android. Make a backup of your current setup in recovery and flash away! It's easy to restore what you had. It's nearly impossible to brick a Nexus and I recommend giving each Rom you try more than just an hour or two and really try it out. You made a great choice by getting a Nexus as your first Android after being away for a while. Take advantage of it!

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] air2k57:
Try sr1 ROM,,that thing runs the smoothest out of all the ROMs out there. Which is crazy, as anything you'll try will be rather fast due to how responsive this device is. Pair that with Franco kernel and you'll have pretty great battery life as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimitsX:
Haha lol, Thank you my new friend for the advise :P! I am currently reading a thread here on XDA on manually rooting and stuff. I am learning C programming so this should help me in learning =)! I prefer XDA thread guides over Youtube videos, which honestly have and are bad, in my opinion. I want to know exactly why this and what this even the minor details. Thanks for your input :D!

Wonderful reply, thank you. I did use TWRP on my brothers Gnex, it did a soft brick, and had to revert to CWM when flashing CM on his phone, i dont know why it did. I did full wipe, and other wiping in recovery :S. For a noob like myself, I'm just afraid of bricking despite all the reading I do and know it well, in real world things do go wrong. As for Roms, I do understand what AOSP and AOKP mean, but don't know whats the difference in actual roms.

I won't have a lot of time with flashing roms my university opens soon, so I can give it a shot. CM 10.1 nightlies is a good start? Or Xylon? From my research, I leaning towards them and the MinCo + Franco.

Thank you for the warm welcome :), I feel really happy and glad to be back to android again :D. This time there is no going back, I love penta band 3G phones and they only exist in android and windows. But, prefer android due to so much you can do now!

One last thing though, about the kernel, should I start with Franco one, or stick with stock for now?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LimitsX:
Aright , thank you friend :)! I will start with sr1 Rom then and see how things go from there :).

Hello guys,

Well a friend of mine sell me this GSM one V, he tell me the phone has already been unlocked an rooted but when i put my sim card i noticed that the phone had no signal so i decide to proove with another rom (my sense RC 2.0) didn´t work, so I tested in the settings and I noticed that when forcing the network mode to 2g the phone gets signal and worked properly but when I try to use 3G or 2G/3G phone signal disappears and I can not navigate or call, so.. Do you have any idea of what could be happend? maybe the 3g radio got damaged?

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pvaldeben:
Hi,

My Galaxy tab p100 is soft bricked. I put in download mode to use Odin and says "USB Device not recognized.

I've tried on 3 different Win7 PC 32bit and 64bit and they all have the same problem after installing Samsung drivers. Could my tab be bad?

At this point I'm thinking of installing WinXP on a old drive to try it out.

Am I missing something on Win7?

Thanks.

UPDATE: not sure what make it work but I switched to a keyboard and mouse in case there was a conflict. Also used a different USB port on my computer. Then put my tab in down load mode and plugged it in and started odin and it worked.

Hope this helps anyone.

whats happened??

if someone can recommend a GOOD ICS rom, i'll be glad to try it, i went back to GB beacuse of too many problems with the ICS STOCK
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
that flash took you completly back to stock so no more root access and all the bloatware has been added...is the flash to android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4????
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurtyB2212:
ohhhh jheez, so i have to root it again, what about my bootloader? and it says 2.3.4, why's that?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazymonkey05:
Well I ask this because 2.3.4 is unrootable unless you flash a pre-rooted kernel so if your BL is unlocked then flash a pre-rooted kernel and install CWM recovery then install your prefered ICS ROM or I would suggest JB then flash their kernel and you should be good
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CurtyB2212:
Okay thanks for your help, any chance you can hook me up with the best rom and kernels to download?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
I dont understand why u say "i'm using STOCK ICS"... what is STOCK ICS? Since Xperia Play never had an OFFICIAL STOCK ICS.

Anyway if u are having problem, probably u have Markphyton rom.

Advice: if u want a perfect ICS rom stable with 100% touchpad, use CM9.1
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eksasol:
This is simple, just flash This 2.3.4 enhanced version, turn on USB debugging mode, then use SuperOneClick or flashtool to root it.

wire trick

im a total noob and i have done wire trick on 2 phones with ease (2nd attempt). i would suggest along with following the instructions on the site, also have a you tube video walkthru handy. i think the key is the timing and the video is really helpful. funny how ur thread headline makes it look like the method is to blame when its clearly not.
[HTC EVO 3D] TheKnux:
Had the same problem many times. Had to use the wire trick 3 times and ran into the same problem you are having. The best advice I could give you that most of the people on her probably wouldn't agree with: when you first start the wire trick, place your wire in the outer hole and leave it there, when it says to "do the wire trick now", tap the other end of the wire on the SD metal piece for a good half of a second then tap again for a second. Worked just fine for me. Let me know if this works.
[HTC EVO 3D] pablo2121:
Wire trick

I also had troubles with s-off. Im thinking the way i got it to work is restarting the computer and pulling the battery on my phone. load back into fastboot and run the juopnutbear exe again then try the wire trick again. and again. it took me about 15 tries to get it to work. i only restarted my computer once and when i got the wire trick to work i was holding the wire in place untill it said it worked and letting the phone settle. then i had to pull the battery again then boom s-off. after that my custom recovery was gone and my bootloader was also locked again so i had to go through the steps to unlock that again. it was a pain but well worth it.
[HTC EVO 3D] DjDom:
I fully agree with you.

It's a matter of luck to be honest.

Just keep trying, you'll eventually get it. It took me a few tries, but it worked perfectly.

Once you see s-off, you'll have a sigh of relief and realize your new freedom!
[HTC EVO 3D] richard1075:
I agree, both phones I've done only worked by putting the uninsulated end of a copper wire in the pin hole first and then touching the ground on the SD card. I tried touching them at the same time for 20-30 times over two days and got nothing. Used a piece of copper wire from a light ballast and just stripped both ends. If it says still sober, exit an rerun the program. You don't have to touch it the first time it says to either. Let is scroll 4-5 times and be ready to touch the ground quickly several times when it says to. It's worth the effort to be able to run the Rom of your choice.
[HTC One S] Lethe6:
Hey guys, I haven't touched my phone since I originally rooted it, back when it came out (within the first month). I'm running the following (done through the hasoon2000 tool):

Baseband: 0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L

Build: 1.78.401.2

Kernel 3.0.8

Excuse the newb question, but I can't manually update the phone with this rom, the option is not there. How do I (easily) go back to stock for the update? I've been reading and searching but I can't find decent straightforward instructions... or is there another way to get the update?

Note: I have downloaded the Rogers RUU, I'm just not sure how to apply it.

Thanks!
[HTC One S] bmb1983:
I use the Rogers RUU alot. If you haven't updated your phone for that long you should be able to just plug your phone into the USB cord and run the RUU file in windows. You need to have USB Debugging enabled because the RUU should reboot your phone into bootloader. If you get an ERROR(155) when running the RUU ,then you need to downgrade your HBOOT first. The update if it works takes a long time.
[HTC One S] Lethe6:
Thanks alot!
[HTC One S] BrandonHamil:
I'm thinking of going back to stock and upgrading from there. Is the Rogers RUU you speak of good for TMobileUSA and where would I get that? Is it in the development section or could you link it for me?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] part 1994:
Hi,

There's something I'd like to do on my samsung galaxy note that I was able to do on my Symbian-based device in the past, but I can't figure out how to do it under Android.

I'd like to save multiple SMS drafts per recipient. However, my Galaxy note 2 only seems to permit me to save one SMS draft per recipient, with each subsequent draft overwriting the previous draft for that same recipient.

Here's why I'd like to have this capability:

If I want to type a long SMS to someone (more than 160 characters), what I like to do is split the message at logical places such as after commas, sentence endings, etc. I would do this by getting close to the end of a given SMS message and then stopping it at the point that I choose, saving it as a draft, and then continuing my text in a new SMS starting at the beginning of the next sentence, phrase, etc. Then, once the set of drafts is completed, I will first proofread and make corrections in the entire group of drafts, and only then will I manually send them off, one after the other.

Yes, I know I can type a long message and the SMS app will automatically split it into pieces after 160 characters, but that often splits words or breaks sentences and phrases in places that I don't want them broken.

Here's how I try to accomplish this on my G1:

Invoke the Messaging app.

Select New Message.

Select recipient.

Compose first SMS.

Select the Back key (draft 1 gets saved).

Select New Message.

Select same recipient as before.

Compose second SMS.

Select the Back key (draft 2 gets saved).

However, at this point, draft 1 has been overwritten by draft 2. In other words, only draft 2 remains.

Can anyone think of a way for me to accomplish what I want (or at least something similar) on my samsung galaxy note 2?

Thanks in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] part 1994:
no one ??
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
This isn't possible in the stock messaging app. You can use GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS, which allow you to create folders and save messages in them just like in Symbian. So you can save parts of the long message in a folder and send them one by one. I like to use the stock messaging app in my devices though, so the way I do this is to type out the message till the limit, copy it and paste it in a note taking app, then copy it back to the messaging app when I need to send it. In ICS and JellyBean, when you select a bunch of text to copy, you get a share button to directly share it by SMS and other stuff. So it's very easy and doesn't involve copy-pasting twice. I just select, share, done. I find this to take the same number of steps and be just as easy as saving to a folder and sending. If you must do it that way, then one of the above apps should be right for you.

I regularly send long messages, sometimes even 10-15 messages long if I'm copy-pasting some stuff from the internet to someone, but I've never experienced your problem or messages breaking up and missing content. They just reach the recipient as one big message. Although, this behaviour is dependent on the mobile network provider, so I can't speak for yours. But I have never seen this happen with any GSM provider I'm my country. I'm guessing yours must be CDMA?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thommaso!:
Could you please tell me which note taking app you use with ics thank you in advance. Tom
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mark Kudarauskas:
This is merely a work-around for how to work on multiple drafts to a recipient. First add your name and mobile device phone # to your Contacts List. Refine your first draft as thoroughly as possible. Then address that message to your own mobile device phone #, and send it. You'll see that message twice, as both your "Sent" & your "Received" message. Your first draft is "parked" in your mobile device's phone #. Now you can work on your next draft, as you would normally. If you decide to send your first draft to the recipient, just forward it from your mobile device's inbox!
