[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] puppynaz:
It happened to me the first time I ever tried flashing thru Odin and I was so scared that I bricked my phone. But then I removed the battery, put it back and entered download mode. Phew! It worked. :p
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] mustafahussain:
try this

1)Open the back over

2)Check between the Camera Lens and the speaker

3) There is a hard reset button which is a small cavity

4) You will need two people for this.. Keep that cavity pressed with a pin

5) Keeping it pressed use the download mode combo- Volume down + Home + Power pressed.

6)Wait and try it a couple of times and your phone will enter download mode

7)Flash to a stock firmware (credits to Adi_Pat for this guide)

I am running the Ultimate rom, which is silky smooth. My only question is I love the stock music player at the bottom of my lockscreen. How can I put the music player back on the bottom of my lockscreen? I think it's just easy access for me to use. Thanks in advance for any help.

That will bring up my mp3 player and then have to go into it. Before, it will just bring up the rewind, play and forward button only. I will play around with it now and see what I can do. I just got my note and still haven't taking full advantage of it yet. lol

Hello guys, i have a question for you.

The situation of my phone is this:

NOT-unlocked bootloader

CWM recovery

.587 baseband

OctanE ROM v5

I want to try Jelly bean, so i must unlock the bootl.

Should I install stock rom before the operation? Or can I maintain mine? :confused:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
No need to flash stock ROM again... Just unlock your bootloader... There's a complete guide by mihahn in the stickies

And then flash JB specific kernel and flash JB ROM :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] kingozzo:
After flashing kernel, does recovery work well? Because on the old x10 mini there were some conflicts.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] predatOr:
My recovery works like charm. :D

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Mister-B:
Hi There,

I needed to set up a VPN on my Tab a while back that worked fine. Before I was able to set it up my Tab made me activate a lock screen swipe. I now no longer need the VPN and have deleted it but I can deactivate the swipe. Can anybody out there help. My settings menu doesen't seem to have a disable button.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] lucidlust:
Not sure what ROM you are running but if you go to setting, under interface or system (depending which ROM) there is a screen security setting, from there change to which ever lock screen you wish.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Skipjacks:
Not sure why the disable lock screen option isn't available to you, but you can use an app that disables it. I think these apps might require root, but I can't remember. Search the play store for an app called No Lock
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] technobe:
Go to screen>lock screen, tap on screen lock, confirm your saved pattern. This brings up a page that gives you the various lock options.Hope this helps!

Now there's this unofficial WhatsApp client called Wazapp for the Nokia N9(http://www.wazapp.im/) .Source code is available on GitHub(https://github.com/tgalal/wazapp).Is it possible to port this over to Android(preferably with Holo UI)?
[General Questions and Answers] Skellyyy:
So with all the buzz around the new Xperia Z I am really impressed by it. So impressed I'm counting down the days until it becomes publicly available already. But I really dislike the software keys on Android as I'm just so used to the capacitive type and mapping them to whatever I so desire.

To be succinct about this – with a rooted Xperia Z will I be able to, for e.g. change the multi-task software button and make it a constant software menu button down in the control dock (if you will), similar to what I can do on the One X? I just tend to have all my quick apps on my first homescreen so I very rarely ever even use the built-in app switcher tiles and just go for the more conventional option of backing out to the home screen and then into what app I do so desire. Not to mention that having the menu button in all sorts of places on the display (some in the top right corner, others on the very bottom of the screen etc.) can get a little tedious and frustrating.

Thanks in advance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GiraffeGiraffe:
Hi,

I recently got a 2. Generation Kindle Fire and would like to turn it into an ICS Android Tablet. However, I am not quite sure where to look for a suitable tutorial / whether I could possibly run into troubles when rooting my Kindle and using a clean version of Android instead.

I am posting in here because I do not have access to the Kindle 2 development forum and there is no Q&A Board for my particular device.

So, I'm not totally unexperienced in regards to computers and stuff, but completely new to tablets and regarding operating systems.

I did read this and this, but people kept running into technical problems. On one hand, the boot screen would always have to remain or some particular apps won't probably or on the other hand the kindle would keep updating itself to prevent the foreign os from working probably - or not not working at all.

I would like to just spend one afternoon reconfiguring my kindle 2 (not HD) and then not run into technical issues every few weeks. Is that even possible or is the developement regarding my advice not advanced enough, yet?

Sorry for the inconvenience; I read some general advice on rooting beforehand, but can't quite figure out whether it also applies to my particular device or not. (For example, will Kindle 7 HD stuff also work with my device?)

Thanks in advance!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
I used the first link provided to root and install play store.

Once play store was installed I bought kindlefree for 1.99 which allowed me to install a custom launcher and remove ads from the lock screen.

AFAIK we cannot use anything from the HD 7"... but I just got this device today and haven't a clue yet.

Once I have more of a clue... watch out!! :p

Edit: using custom launcher is not quite perfect.. some apps don't notify my unless I start them (Google+).
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iytrix:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgierhart:
I ran into an issue...

I tried the first method as suggested, but when I try to run "runme.bat" from Qemu, it hangs at "* daemon started successfully *"

I downloaded the ADB drivers from the link. When those failed to install properly (repeatedly, giving me the exact same issue as linked above), I uninstalled, downloaded the Android SDK, got the proper files for the KF2, made sure I killed the ADB process before I started, I ran cmd as admin, I basically followed every instruction from the original post to the letter. I'm working with a KF2 (not HD) running 10.2.4. Any ideas? Suggestions?

Thanks so much!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
You will have to install the drivers manually through the device manager on windows.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgierhart:
That worked!

That did it. My fault--I assumed that, when I installed through the Android SDK, it had taken care of installing the drivers as necessary.

Thanks! :D
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
Lol. 99.999999% of the time that would be correct. If i hadn't had the same issue i wouldn't have known how to fix it. Mine kept picking up the adb drivers for my samsung phone. Needless to say- that didn't work :D

[Hardware Hacking General] sbarrow:
I'm just looking to be pointed in the right general direction here.

How would I go about hooking up an LCD and touch panel to an Android board (Raspberry PI or something similar). This is for an embedded device.

Something like a Hannstar HSD062IDW1
[Hardware Hacking General] ArcDatum:
Hey, most of these ARM dev boards have raw LCD headers. If you're an electronics designer then you can go design a PCB to do things like level shift those bits and maybe convert those parallel signals to something else (LVDS or HDMI or watever). But from what I understand, you already have a video out in the form of HDMI and svideo. Some of us here at ArcDatum have done embedded systems research on a whole bunch of ARM boards (BeagleBoard, Pandaboard, the obscure ODROID-X) and almost all of them should have LCD headers. As for touch screens, that's more difficult. Chances are you'll have to use GPIOs or find a screen with HDMI input and USB output for touch sensing. Otherwise you'll have to design an touch screen input/output driver (which actually isn't that hard once you know how.....finding out how is the difficult part since so many of the chips they use have little or no documentation).

You might be in luck with iPhone screens. I personally have heard rumors of people reverse engineering the screen signals and driving them.

Edit: So i looked at your Hannstar link. Looks like you have a 10.5V LED backlight. So u'll have to drive that separately; that's easy enough. As for the actual signals. Looks like the pinouts you have all the RGB 8bit per color channels as well as your power stuff, ground stuff, and your clock inputs all of which can come from either your LCD header on ur RPi (if it has one; i know the BeagleBoard-XM has them) or an external power supply (for Vcc etc). Note you should tie all grounds together in many cases. As for the other random signals you will have to figure out if they're necessary to connect to something (Even if it's ground) or if you can leave them floating. Watch out for your voltage levels and how much current the RGB signals on the display will sink. Likely case is you have to do a level shift from something like 1.8V logic to 3.3V logic or something like that. When you're picking your IC to do that level shifting, also be very aware that the IC has to be able to change from 0 to 3.3V fast enough. You will have to verify that within one clock cycle, the slew rate of every pin (aka each bit for the RGB channels) is high enough to change from a high value to low or vice versa before the next clock edge comes along. If not you're data will be considered corrupt or just completely invalid.

Edit2: Your title states that you're trying to make this work with Android. I think in fact you are trying to drive the LCD with the System on a Chip on the RPi. Depending on the SoC and kernel, you might have to enable the LCD header pinouts in the kernel. Don't quote me on this though. I could be totally bull****ting you. My GUESS is that the same signals that go to the HDMI chip go to the header and in fact when using the header, you're just pulling the logic of those same signal lines (which also means you have to be extra careful of the current you're sourcing from those lines)
[Hardware Hacking General] Adapt0r:
I wish to understand your motivation.

There are plenty of cheap Android tablets available with LCD touch screen. Now instead of trying to use one of these you want to get inferior "WhateverBerry" and engineer LCD interface + software stack etc spending your time and money.

Am I correct describing your intention?

Also I am not sure that Android is a good fit for embedded development which is mostly applied to some type of real-time controllers. It is not real-time OS.

If your want to build quickly an embedded controller with LCD touch you can get it done using Arduino boards. There are few LCD modules with touch capabilities available but with very poor documentation. It will require some work but it is feasible to achieve in a few days. It would cost you about $100 in components including Arduino and LCD shield and software is free.

Good luck!
[Hardware Hacking General] ArcDatum:
I agree with this, for the most part. Although theres no reason his application wouldnt be better with Android. What if theyre making some sort of consumer friendly appliance. Android wud be a great place to start. Arduinos wud be good for tiny applications but if they want anything pretty it wont have enough horse power.

Also Im not sure how RTOS fits into this. Sure Android isnt an RTOS, but ur phone is Android and thats an embedded system too. Just because it isnt deterministic doesnt mean it isnt suited for embedded. Just go look at basically any of the Texas Instruments ARM based android/linux dev boards.

Anyway back to the topic at hand. If you want a high powered device then try a BeagleBoard with a third party LCD attachment. It wont be cheap, you would basically have an android tablet only itd be for development (and I mean product development, not just software development). But if you dont need 700+mghz of 32 bit addressing lol, then yes go with a much cheaper arduino and lcd.

Edit: Look at this, I think you'll like it (its an all in one ARM development board):

e2e.ti.com/group/universityprogram/educators/w/wiki/2252.am335x-starter-kit.aspx?sp_rid_pod4=MTk2NzAwNDYzODgS1&sp_mid_pod4=40798754

Also I should clarify Arduinos are a 'cheaper' solution, not a 'cheap' solution. Arduinos are not cheap for the amount of processing power u get and they are almost never suited for LCD applications (but there are a few).
[Hardware Hacking General] Adapt0r:
I am glad to have this discussion, it helps to clarify choices we make and avoid waste of time.

RTOS is needed if high rate data acquisition is the core application. If time uncertainty of Android apps execution is tolerable then it might be a good choice considering great UI and communication capabilities.

A number of projects utilize commercial Android hardware with external Bluetooth or USB accessory/ host. In this configuration external accessory acquires and stores data in a buffer, Android terminal reads this data buffer and then does data processing and visualization if necessary.

This combination looks the most efficient since it provides great flexibility with minimal resources.

Low price of Raspberry PI and good marketing attracted a lot of people but usability of this board is very limited. You get what you paid for. It is underpowered for modern Linux and Android, does not have ADC, not suitable for low power (battery) applications. Originally, its main purpose was declared to make learning of programming languages more accessible.

Hey all I am rather new to the rooting/ROM scene. I was big into jailbreaking iphones but finally saw the light and switched to android.

So I have a T-mobile Galaxy S3 with stock 4.1.1 android, I have it rooted and I used ROM manager to flash ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.2.3.

I have not ventured into the ROM world yet but I would like to know which would be the most stable? Also do you lose all data everytime you flash a ROM? If that is the case that would probably dissuade me from doing it :(

Is there anything else that is recommended for a rooted phone with custom recovery?

Thanks guys!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crossfx77:
I forgot to add that I am wondering about custom modems.. I live in a very rural area and I normally only have Edge network. Would this even be worth doing?

Ummmm..... YEH. A nandroid backup!!!!! Before u go ahead and tranform your phone into decepticon! Lol

Cmw, is good but I use the one from goo manager. I think their both capable of a backup!

Then afterwards have a go at it with 4.2 roms.. almost stable but still a few bugs

And touchwiz roms which are pretty much stable 4.0.4, 4.1.1 and. Soon to include 4.1.2 touchwiz roms <---- im waiting for that one :)

As long as u flash d2tmo roms u shouldn't come across any data problems even more so with touchwiz roms.

lol yea I think my brain is on overload from reading so much recently! :silly:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
. You can try cyanogenmod they are usually pretty stable with all bloatware removed. Well you can always have an app like titanium backup or rom toolbox that can back up your data every time you want to flash a new rom then restore it. OK so read this carefully there's a thread that you need to find so you CAN BACK UP YOUR EMEI, if you don't know what that is its sort it like the brain of your phone you messed that up and it could become paperweight. Back up that nvfolder... also with CWR backup your current stock rom in case something goes bad you can always go back to something stable. Also don't flash other modems that's not from tmobile this will Brick your device. Since you seem pretty new don't go and flash att roms or kernels some say they have done it with no issue but again your fairly new.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crossfx77:
I do apologize but with a fiance, five kids, full time job, and something Always needing done at the house, I don't have the same amount of time as some people. I read as much and research as much as I possibly can. I trust what some of the senior members on this site have to say.

It is not a question of being lazy it is a request for information from those that know more than I do and can direct me in the right direction.

I have read about many different ROMs but I am not sure as to which one is the most stable and offer less risk of potential issues.

I like the look of the Jelly Bam ROM but it is not for the T-mobile S3.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crossfx77:
Thank you for your advice, I have read about the importance of using the correct carrier specific ROMS/Modems. I'll do some research on EMEI so I can fully understand it. Once again thank you for the help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
No problem here to help like others helped me. Your emei is a bunch of numbers that gives your phone identity, to your carrier. When flashing, modding themes your emei might mysteriously mess up hence why you need to back it up. Some say cwm is causing it so they prefer the touch recovery others still use cwm without issue. Also never give out those numbers they are personnel to your phone, someone who's tech savvy enough could get it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crossfx77:
yea I read some about it a few minutes ago and I get what it is. Seems like you are def SOL if you screw that up!

A friend of mine lost his phone in Baltimore one weekend and someone found it and posted all over his facebook, we called the service provided and they blacklisted the phone using his EMEI number but also told us that the phone would be a brick after they did it. My friend called his phone and the guy wanted him to pay hundreds to get it back...some people lol.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
@OP here is the thread that will help you back up your IMEI. It was the very first thing I did when I got this phone, even before Rooting. If you do lose your IMEI, this will inject it back in.

I suggest that you go into the Dev section and read a few OPs (do you know the difference between AOSP and TWiz ROMs?). Find a few you like and then go in and read about the last 10 pages to get a feel for bugs. If you find one you like, then start reading.

2 things:

First, since you have 5 kids and budding family, you need something that is consistantly working. For this I do not suggest jumping into the "flashing custom ROMs pool" feet first into a 4.2.1 ROM. Those, while some are stable for crack flashers and tweakers, are still WIPs. Play with the ability you have now -> Root. Contrary to some, Rooting does not mean flashing. there are several things you can do with Root that don't rely on flashing a new ROM or Kernel or Modem. Btw, DocHoliday has a modem thread where you can flash different modems(basebands) to see what works for your tower. There is also a Google.maps attached too.

Second, "Best ROM" threads always turn into a pissing match. I think that you are getting some good info in this for now, but I am going to close it when I get back to my PC. For one, you will get moderately flamed for opening a "Best ROM" thread (I closed at least 3-5 of these a day across the site) but I am giving a reprieve for a bit (until 2:30PM est) because you are getting some good advice for now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] crossfx77:
Thank you sir I appreciate it, I didn't mean to start any headaches for you, I guess I should have worded it differently. I agree the information is extremely helpful and will allow me to make an educated decision into whether or not I want to flash ROMs. I am gonna lean more to not because you again brought up a valid point, I need a working phone lol.

Thanks again for the continued support and I'll be more mindful about what threads I create :angel:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Woody:
You didn't start any headaches for me at all man. I love what I do. That is why I offered help and a link before the lock. You are all good.
