In trying to understand how to replace the Chinese version of ICS 4.0.4 on my SGS2 I9100G with a UK/European version, I found this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1679636

There is a real Catch-22 at the top of the first post: "This works on all I9100Gs except the Chinese variant!"

Oh great!. So what do I do with my Chinese variant? (no rude answers, please!)

If ur using the original oem charger I would if u have the money go buy one and carefully open the package and try it out. If it charges faster then contact samsung and send ur charger back.

Hi. I recently tried to do an adb nvrestore of my phone because i was experiencing some trouble with touchwiz crashing. I had previously done a backup after rooting my device but after the restore my phone tries to boot repeatedly and will not enter recovery mode. I can however access download mode. Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

I'm new to this type of thing and from what i could find I had assumed it was an actual backup :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
No buddy that's a backup for the losing imei issue we were having. Now did you happen to make s backup in clock work mod recovery, that's how you backup your system.

Either way we can get you back up again. You'll be fine, but for now on read a lot unless you're rich because you can brick this phone beyond repair.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Zach120:
I did a full Titanium Backup but was unaware clockwork was capable of backups
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
Okay at least you have a titanium backup. Fastest way to get your phone back is follow that guide I linked. There are prerooted stock ROMs linked in it. Use one of them, follow the instructions exactly. When done download titanium and reinstall your apps. You'll be on stock rooted jb.

I can no longer download apps from the google play store. I press download, it says "Downloading...", the loading bar has small lines going across it, but progress never starts, and it sits there like this. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am running Tiny CM10.1.

My problems with the play store were solved when I wiped and reinstalled from scratch. This a sudden thing, or have you made any changes lately?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MysticCobra:
Others have also reported success by going in to Apps Management and choosing "Clear Data" for the Google Play Store. (There's also a Google Play Services in the list...not sure if it's necessary to clear that, too.)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c_raethke:
I have had this problem somewhat recurringly on this rom, it didn't work for a while, then I cleared play store, download manager, basically anything with Google in the name. Other times this fixed it, but this time it wouldn't work even after a restart. I ended up getting it to work by rebooting to recovery, wiping cache, and restarting.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheJuanV100:
I Just had the same problem. Here is how I fixed it,

- Uninstalled updates for Google Play

- I added a New Google Account.

- I Then signed into the new Google Account, Then Sign Into Your Main Account

And "BOOM" problem solved.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paul.ryan:
I never had this problem until recently and it's happened several times now. It seems to happen after a major change to my system ie rom update or multiple app updates or Tibu restore I not really sure. I tried several methods of un-installing & re-installing the play store app and wiping it's cache and data with varying degrees of success.

What has worked every time without fail is a complete cache wipe with "CacheMate for root users" app.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
I loved the Nexus 7 from day one, it was fast, fluid and stock android is always a good thing. But somehow Google managed to make the Nexus 7 look old by providing an update which basically kills project butter. These are my impressions:

[Nexus 7 General] fix-this!:
I agree, compared to 4.1.2 on my note 2 the nexus 7 with 4.2.1 lags to much.
[Nexus 7 General] Diknak@gmail.com:
Has there been any information about if/when we will get another update?
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Mine is still smooth as butter. Stock, running 4.2.1. You guys are doing something wrong.
[Nexus 7 General] filipathtc:
Or maybe you are doing something better
[Nexus 7 General] VaderSKN:
Or maybe he's running stock ROM :rolleyes:
[Nexus 7 General] Rackers:
Have you wiped data since updating to 4.2.1? I know you shouldn't have too but apparently it gets things moving quick again. :)
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
Nope, no info whatsoever. They fixed the date bug but never mentioned all those other problems...
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
No I haven't and I won't do it either, because it will only be a temporary solution as with the forever gone app. Newly wiped devices are always faster but only until you install all apps again and use them for some time. Then the lag will start again, at least this is my experience of the past years with all mobile devices that have performance issues.
[Nexus 7 General] 95Z28:
+1 on my gnex 4.2 wasn't as smooth as 4.1 so I did factory reset, reinstalled all my apps, and ran stock for a month smooth with no slowdowns.
[Nexus 7 General] SnoopyLane:
There's something to what you said. But I think in this case there is something that goes awry with the 4.2.1 update mechanism and leaves something misconfigured.

Do a factory reset

Then configure Currents to not do background sync

Then change WiFi settings to not stay on when the tablet is sleeping
[Nexus 7 General] TyphoidKitten:
Well duh...Happens on Mac, Windows, Linux, Desktop, Laptop, Mobile... Can't really stop that...
[Nexus 7 General] ryaneu:
stock 4.2.1 is reasonably smooth for me too and good battery life.

The only time when i had some minor lag was when i play the game Need for Speed .
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
I agree. I've heard lots of issues when upgrading. There is a lot of changes the SD folder structure and relocation of lots of data that could be the culprit.

I can't say if it makes a difference because I reset often between Rom flashes and major updates. My N7 is still super quick. In fact it feels the same/faster then my brand new 4.1.2 N7 (my tester device). I've been on PA for a long time and haven't factory reset in a long while either.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Nope, I'm just picky on what I put on my device. Not a load of music and videos, very minimal amount of apps, stock, Nova Launcher Prime, and do regular manual cache maintenance on it to keep it clean. Never have say, eight apps running at the same time on it, either.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
No, im talking about the extreme lags on nexus 7 since 4.2.1. This didn't happen on 4.1... I'm not talking about some general slowdown of the system which is happening when you load it with apps...
[Nexus 7 General] MrAndroid12:
Mine came out of the box using android 4.2.1. I seems reasonably smooth but the app drawer suffers random lag unlike store units that run 4.1.2.

Overall on stock rom, it is not even close to lag, just a bit of minor stuttering for me with launcher that's all.
[Nexus 7 General] Ketzal:
Do factory reset. Fixed all the issues for me. I had all the problems you've been having.

After reset it was back full speed.

Do it.

[Nexus 7 General] tvdang7:
I'm running stock and I don't see anything butter like. Nexus 4 is definitely noticeably smoother. Must be gpu related or something.
[Nexus 7 General] akash3656:
You guys should adb sideload the 4.2.2 update. Its much smoother. The keyboard is definitely more responsive (which used to lag a lot on 4.2.1)
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
AW: My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!

Sounds good to me. I hope it will fix some stuff. Also hate the fact that you need adb now to update your device. Why can't we do it like in the past with only recovery mode needed and the update zip on your device...
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
AW: My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!

Yes, my Nexus 4 is also much much faster and has basically no lag.

I don't think it can be GPU related as the Nexus 7 was perfectly smooth with Android 4.1...but started to lag with 4.2.1...there weren't much changes in regards to new features needing more hardware performance.
[Nexus 7 General] cnstarz:
ex-lax.
[Nexus 7 General] TardyKilla:
More like peanut butter, slightly sticky.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
I agree with that review a 100%. It was inexcusable to release 4.2 the way they did. It felt more like the first build you get where everything is working on cyanogenmod for a carrier phone then an official update. 4.2.2 has finally addressed this but is KLP going to be laggy and buggy for the first 3 months too? I understand they can't fix all the issues until they get feedback, but it should still be stable enough to not feel like some early alpha version!

Bottom line if it's not ready, don't release it!
[Nexus 7 General] bfayer:
I didn't need to side load. I just turned off WiFi, went into settings/apps found Google services framework, hit stop, then clear data. I turned WiFi back on, and the 4.2.2 upgrade started.
[Nexus 7 General] spitfire2425:
When I got my nexus 7 it had 4.2.1 on it so that's all I knew, my phone had 4.1.2 but it felt slower than my n7, but after updating to 4.2.2 I can tell how slow 4.2.1 was. Thank you google for fixing the lag for the most part.
[Nexus 7 General] tribestros:
Android is laggy. Gonna happen. Deal with it. Want smoothness and reliability? iOS.
[Nexus 7 General] Anthe:
I didn't experience any lag op 4.2.1, actually.

Now i'm on 4.2.2 and this thing runs as smooth as butter. Maybe 4.2.2 fixed your problems?
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
AW: My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!

4.2.2 seems to be better but still not as fast as 4.1 was IMHO...
[Nexus 7 General] Anthe:
Weird. Did you factory reset already? That COULD work.
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
What's this rubbish you speak of? My Nexus 4 is quite a bit faster than the corporate issued iphone 4's I use on a daily basis at work.
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
AW: My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!

The Nexus 4 definitely is up to par with an iPhone 5 not even to mention the iPhone 4. Google really did a great job together with LG.

And 2 GB RAM does help too. ;)
[Nexus 7 General] skibadee:
Nexus 4 has 2gb RAM, faster CPU and AFAIK way better data read/write speed.

Why do people expect a n7 to run the same?

My new n7 32gb runs as well as the 16gb one I returned last year before 4.2.1 was released.

I had a n10 for a little while and its speed blew away anything Android I've ever used (as well as drive its crazy resolution), guess why...... :P
[Nexus 7 General] Shahpur.Azizpour:
AW: My Android 4.2.1 Review: What happened to project butter?!

1. Nobody expects the n7 to be as fast as a nexus 4

2. I expect the nexus 7 to stay as smooth as it was on 4.1.2. There was no lag. It isn't acceptable that a minor update basically kills project butter on the n7.

3. On 4.2.1 performance on the n7 became horrible. Everybody knew that the N7 was capable of more because we saw it on 4.1.2.

4. 4.2.2 is better but still not as fluid as 4.1.2. on the n7.

5. Since there weren't any huge changes from 4.1 to 4.2 I expect the n7 to be perfectly capable of running it without lag.
[Nexus 7 General] br0adband:
As for 4, I disagree - my firsthand experience of using 4.2.1 for a little over a week was lag lag lag, using a custom ROM and custom kernel addressed most but not all of it. When the first 4.2.2 patch appeared the other day I had it within a few minutes and did a clean 4.2.1 factory install then patched it with 4.2.2 and wham, everything was buttery smooth as I'd expected when I got the N7 in the first place. Stock 4.2.2 is way smoother and snappier/more responsive on this N7 of mine than 4.1 was (the OS on it when I bought it) and certainly smoother and more responsive than 4.2.1 as well, but...

YMMV which should be the standard disclaimer we're all required to make with our posts when we talk about our own direct firsthand experience - not every N7 is exactly the same, of course, even if they do come off the lines made the same way.

As for 5, there may not have been big changes from 4.1 to 4.2 or 4.2.1 but there's most certainly big changes in place now with 4.2.2 including a new updated kernel and improved battery life (like 20% better overall hence Google altering the product specs from 8 to 10 hours of active use the other day).
[Nexus 7 General] Cor-master:
Yeah I don't expect the nexus 7 to perform as well as the nexus 4 but at the same time it shouldn't have any lag. I had an HTC Flyer before the nexus 7 and it was stuck on honeycomb and laggy as all hell, development was limited, and no further updates were planned. I can deal being on outdated software more than I can deal with laginess, and thats why I sold my flyer in favor of the nexus 7, and it was plenty buttery and smooth until the 4.2 update in which it performed about as well if not worse than my flyer, which was extremely disappointing.

The nexus 4 is a straight beast and has current industry leading hardware in it, nothing can currently touch the Qualcomm snapdragon s4 pro, so apps open quicker and perform better than the dated Tegra3 chipset in the nexus 7, I get that but laginess isn't the same thing. Laginess is choppy animations, keyboard not responding when you touch the keys, the whole system freezing for 5 to 10 seconds to think, rotation taking forever to respond, the lockscreen taking several seconds to fire up and then not responding immediately when I hit the slider etc. Before 4.2, none of the above, after 4.2 all of the above. And that's unacceptable!

Hi,

Is the rom completely stock and have you not frozen or removed any apps after flash?

What usually helps is to always do a full wipe before flashing, usually gets rid of problems like this. I used to get a lot of force closes due to not doing a full wipe, i do one every time now to avoid any fc's.

Hope this helps

I noticed that there were concentrated scratched in the middle of the phone of the protector. I was little afraid that the scratched went through the default screen protector(cover, plastic thing), so I peeled it off and have a look at it.

But I'm a little concern why there was a scratch there in the first place. I'll probably email google about this.
