If i were you: Don't upgrade to official jellybean
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hironimo:
Hi.

I talked with both my carrier and samsung and they tell me that even if I install an official samsung firmware myself (unless I use kies) that the warranty is void.

Do their claims have any grounding in the law?

Can samsung technicians have any way of telling whether I installd a rom myself through odin (assuming the custom rom counter remains 0)?

Unfortunately I have a carrier for which there is no official rom available (drei in austria).

Does this mean to be sure to get warranty I have to wait until one becomes available so I could flash back to that one after I did any modifications?

Thanx in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adytum:
Samsung can write (almost) anything they like in their warranty requirements. What you should check is your country's consumer legislation, in many European countries there is a 2 year warranty, where they would have to prove that your flashing or hacking is the direct cause to any issues to have the warranty voided. This warranty would be related to the retailer.

That said, I do not think it possible to see that you've flashed if the rom is stock with correct csc, with the counter at zero, unless your carrier has it heavy branded. Take a screenshot of everything in "about phone" to make sure you know what version it came with.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotshoaib:
Technically yes Samsung will know if you flash anything.

But , the guys working in sales department, whom most likely you will deal with for warranty issue, will never be able to find out, if you restore to stock version.

So no issues of warranty.

Have all fun flashing all custom roms, nothing to worry.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariosraptor:
What ever rom you install you can easily restore to the one which is meant for your specific device using kies.

Find my thread how to revert to original stock rom using kies.

Read the instructions and it will put in your phone the latest for your device.

I have a Samsung 7.7 P6800 and I use it as a video surveillance camera with Skype.

In Skype settings I set the automatic answer with video and everything works fine.

The front canera is used by default but I would like to use the rear camera only since it has a better definition.

during the video call there is an option in skype for selecting the camera but working in automatic answer mode it's useless.

I don't need the front camera and I am ready to desable it but I need to keep the rear camera working.

I didn't find any app, can somebody suggest something?

Thanks.

My favorite ATM - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35633946. Installation instructions are in the thread, assuming you've unlocked the bootloader from this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=35348366. I've found no bugs. Everything works as it did before, only better.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] tfly212:
In terms of losing functionality, it generally depends on the release. When a new ROM comes out as an alpha build it may well be missing a few things, which get worked out over time. If you read through the ROM thread there will be a detailed list of what works, what doesn't, etc. To avoid this, flash the more mature ROMs and you shouldn't be missing anything.

As the poster above mentioned though, you also need to unlock the bootloader before you flash a ROM. I would read the instructions carefully and educate yourself on the process before diving in. It's not particularly difficult, but it's very important to follow the directions to the letter. Don't skip steps, don't assume two things that seem similar really are the same etc. The boards are littered with people who ran into problems because they didn't take the time to understand what they are doing. For the record, I am on cleanROM 1.0 for Verizon and it's great. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] smash240:

You're right to be concerned. You're getting new software, and with any new software there can be new bugs and/or regressions. Frankly, I don't mind taking 10 steps forward if on occasion it takes me 2 steps back. If you want to try a stable AOSP-style rom, I would suggest Bean's rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] joshw0000:
Make sure you backup your stock rom. You can flash every rom available and if you're not content with any of them just restore your stock backup. It will make your phone as it was before you flashed anything (homescreen set up, call log, texts, everything).

Hello everyone,

I have a rooted HTC Desire HD with a custom ROM (Android RevolutionHD).

I have heard a lot of about moving the apps to the SD card to save space in the memory's phone, but does it really usefull apart of "saving memory"? or it can make slower the phone's boot because loading apps from the sd?

Hope someone experienced in the topic can let me know more about advantages and disadvantages of moving apps to the SD.

My priority is a faster / smoother phone UI and boot, being the memory space not so important.

Many thanks =)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
It will definitely make the phone slower if you have a lot of apps in SD. Especially apps that autostart on boot. During normal usage too, opening an SD app takes slightly longer than internal memory. Also when you're making a nandroid backup, it will take much longer during the .android_secure backup if you have a lot of apps there, because the phone has to read from memory card and simultaneously write to it. The only advantage of moving apps to SD is to have more internal space, nothing else.

The Desire HD has enough internal memory though. I've put all my non-essential apps on SD and all the ones I use frequently in internal memory, so that they don't lag. My phone is smoother than it has ever been actually, using the codefireX 4.2.1 ROM. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] santidoo:
Gotcha, many thanks!!

I will take your advice of leave the apps that I normally use in the internal memory and pass the non-essencial to the SD card.

Is there a way to put bootloader in 'Locked' instead of 'Relocked' ? My phone was unlocked and S-off.

I've tried, but it still stays stuck in a bootloop. I just don't want to lose all my stuff :/

I tried trinity, franco, and zen kernels
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simms22:
thats not a stupid mistake, most 4.2.1 kernels work on 4.1.2, just not the kernels that include their own ramdisk(most use anykernel instead of their own ramdisk). just reflash your rom without wiping anything, itll replace the ramdisk. if you flash another kernel, its just grabbing the same ramdisk.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
Hi

you don't say if you have changed anything recently (eg installed a new rom).

What i would recommend is you go into recovery and wipe your cache, reboot and see how that is.

If you have your current rom on your sd card then reinstall it (no need to wipe data)

If you have installed a new rom, try to go back to a more stable one that works for your phone.
