R: Installing from ROM Manager

Sorry for being annoying. But i am just super scared to do it. But i did once xD. Anyway thanks for explanation. You re thr best xD
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
No need to be scared. As long as you do your research first & understand exactly what it is you're going to do with the phone before you do it, you should be fine. Don't rush, take your time. Phone isn't going anywhere ;)

You're welcome :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartnet89:
Hi, I recently my GS3 into Jelly Bean in Australia. I purchased this phone unlocked. I am experiencing very bad lag everyday. The processor is running at about 680/ 900mb compared to ICS where its normally 500 / 900mb. Please let me know what should I do. I am getting really annoyed now =(...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xcly:
Factory reset. Note it will wipe everything from internal sd
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartnet89:
Ok, my next question is how should i backup everything since i didn't root my phone. I cant use titanium backup. Btw, did the same thing happened to you?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooza:
You need to root your phone with chain fires autoroot method and then Flash a Cwm or other recovery so you can Flash a custom kernel.I would suggest yank555 as it's a close to stock kernel that's stable and fast and lag free.You also need to be running a root kernel with the sudden death fix patch to avoid your phone dying.

Hi guys just wanted to make a tread to find out what people think about Firefox OS so they can share there opinions views what they'd like to see or what they love etc at the moment there isn't that much to go on but based on how it's looking so far opinions will surely change as time goes on but whenever you're reading this what do u think
[Firefox OS General] deathxlive.lx:
Well I think it's epic cause it's more open source than android cause it's based on the Web technology (html), and hope we could see this on new phones
[Firefox OS General] nachiketa.ramesh:
I think it is an epic fail because of a bad UI that looks like a cheap ios theme
[Firefox OS General] TingTingin:
Am actually with u on this 1they haven't really got me enthused as Ubuntu did plus looking at it feels like Android and ios has a baby but only time will tell

Ubuntu is far better than Firefox OS.

I like the way Ubuntu Devs have used all Edges of screen. Firefox OS has nothing specific.

Jolla Sailfish has something like the pulldown for menu. That's Awesome.!!
[Firefox OS General] TingTingin:
I saw them demoing it on a low-end phone
[Firefox OS General] ePYK me.:
You mean Jolla sailfish?
[Firefox OS General] Hyperj123:
I think its the wrong time to come into the game this late. Look at what happened to netbooks and chromeos. It kind of flopped and it was outdated in less than 6 months because of the tablet generation. There are so many great mobile operating systems (iOS, Android) that to come out with another wouldn't be successful. Google Chrome OS is great but it has a limited buyers market. And to me it just seems weird that a company mostly known by their browser is going to come out with an OS? How about you develop an OS for PC before entering the mobile generation?

That's my thought,

John
[Firefox OS General] Kresh0:
I cant wait to test it...I always like new things and I hope wont be awful I mean sluggish like android 1.6-2.1.

But I think people wont go for it(massive)
[Firefox OS General] o-l-a-v:
I have more believes in Tizen OS. But will be hard for anyone to compete and gain terrain against the well established IOS and Android. I don't think all 3 new OS's (Tizen, Firefox and Sailfish) will survive. But Tizen will do good, most because because they have the hardware of Samsung
[Firefox OS General] Hanzo.Hasashi:

[Firefox OS General] RAD1XS:
In my opinion I can say Firefox is beginning in the development of software for the movils. So, I prefer give more time for devs... Maybe in the future will be a big phone OS.
[Firefox OS General] Bilgets:
i think it's not really good if you give it on an android based phone..

i mean where's the point of buying an android phone without android inside it..

HTML cant do much much stuff either...
[Firefox OS General] sunseaker:
I think that it's great that a 'proper' opensource alternative will exist. I just hope they manage to get enough traction. I agree the UI is unimaginative and looks too much like a bad IOS copy but that can develop as the OS matures. It all comes down to how well it's taking up by developers, how smooth the system runs and of course price. As a basic smartphone for non power users that only need to make calls, browse the web, message, etc it could be a good alternative, especially as it won't be secretly leaking all your private information back to Google, Apple or MS.

With ububtu phone coming too it's going to be exciting times to watch how these unfold.
[Firefox OS General] aliemrey:
i dont know why but im wondering about Firefox OS. something could change with it.
[Firefox OS General] Senzune:
I think it's neither epic win nor epic fail. Firefox OS isn't designed to be #1, it's designed as an alternative and will do with even a small market share. That makes it neither a win nor a fail, it's the user experience that will ultimately decide. If you ask for opinions, make the thread title a question only, without providing any possible answers. We're here to express our opinion instead of picking a preset of opinions, which many seem to do.

[Firefox OS General] sabret00the:
No one has stopped anyone from forking Android and taking that in a direction that is free and open. In fact I'd argue that at this point, we'd be better off with an Android fork than a new OS. When you look at what they've removed from Android across the last two versions, you can only anticipate the disappointment that's surely to follow in the future.

TBF, pretty much every phone features a grid of icons. The single hard button worries me more.
[Firefox OS General] hllcglr:
couldnt be much agree
[Firefox OS General] joshumax:
Personally I think its an epic win. It will never be the comparable to any OS like Android. However where it does excel is in its openness. Its probably one of the most free and open OS I've ever seen, and it uses Linux for its kernel. On another note if I had only one choice between Firefox OS and Ubuntu phone OS I'd pick Firefox.. but I haven't liked Ubuntu since Unity and the commercialization and exploitation of their Linux distro. My favorite feature of Firefox OS has got to be the ability to view source of an app just by holding the side button.
[Firefox OS General] monkey082506:
I'm not sure how I feel about it honestly. In one way I feel like it's a little late to the game and they need a flagship device ASAP before anybody other than the modders/hackers to get into it. In another way I agree the openness will be awesome considering on what we can do with Android but I still feel like it has a lot to prove...very fast.
[Firefox OS General] joshumax:
I agree. However by openness its really just seems to me to be an open source system that wants to flaunt off its source to all of its users, who sadly probably don't care about all that and just want a working phone. And there is a limit with what you can do with html5.. maybe instead of the misleading firefox os it should be called Gaia on gecko on Linux.

[Firefox OS General] Rambo0047:
Its really early to say if its an epic win or epic fail, Only time will tell.

but if i was given an option to chose one, i will go for firefox os.

p.s i am a 6 years+ firefox (browser) user so maybe i am biased ;)
[Firefox OS General] ItsLiamPerry:
I think Firefox has the potential to do quite well. While technologically superior, Ubuntu has no hardware partners or carriers currently onboard. Firefox has Brazillian carriers, ZTE and LG already scheduled to announce and release Firefox phones later this year.

Ubuntu is not expected to be first available until mid 2014. If what we've heard about MWC is to be believed, ZTE is set to announce their first Firefox phone this month.

Its a clever idea, but leaves me to wonder, how functional the phone will be without internet access. If the whole OS is HTML5 and all the apps are HTML... Are some apps able to be saved offline?

This would also mean the OS is not very data efficient. I also have questions about the security of a HTML5 system. There are some serious security risks regarding a website/app's access to the device's hardware apis.

I have some questions as to how this is going to work. Otherwise for those people on prepaid or with smaller data-allowance their phone could quickly become about as useful as a chromebook without internet.

I think there is potential here. It'll certainly go a lot further than Sailfish, has more developer momentum than Ubuntu and will be here before Tizen.
[Firefox OS General] sunseaker:
No reason why the apps cannot be saved offline just because they are written in html5. After all you can save web pages locally for offline viewing.
[Firefox OS General] chinarabbit:
Firefox OS should come Partnered with a company making custom phones specifically for the OS

1280x768, 2Ghz Quad-Core CPU, GPU, MyDP, 2 GB RAM, 64GB Internal Memory,

also an Internal Micro SD Slot under the back cover, and an External Micro SD slot, with both SD Slots operating as separate removable Drives..

The Internal 64GB Memory should be a Dedicated C:\ System Drive, formatted with the NTSF file system

Windows 7 x86 can be installed via the internal Micro SD Card.. upon booting, if you hit 2 hardware buttons, you enter Firefox Bios, where you can set boot-disk(card) Priority

the entire thing runs exactly like a desktop.. small.. changing the resolution to um-supported resolutions allows large sizes and desktop scrolling, just like a normal desktop computer

and you can install any x86 windows 7 program

The Phone has 12 assignable hardware buttons & comes with a foldable AAA battery-powered Bluetooth keyboard.. & a AAA battery powered Bluetooth Mouse.. Plus an extendable Stylus with built-in Command Buttons.. connected with a retractable cable

It Can be hooked up to any Monitor and operated as a Desktop replacement running Windows 7

so.. ya.. i think a perfect Firefox OS is basically a NetBios Underlying structure that allows a phone to be used as a Windows x86 7 device, that you could install Windows 7 Ultimate x86 on

sort of firefoxy...

---------- Post added at 05:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

Firefox should be an Open-source hardware & Bios Program, which can run Firefox or Windows 7, or any other OS System..

that would be true to the Firefox we all know & love

help me Firefoxenobi.. you are my only hope
[Firefox OS General] Lork Scorguar:
I'm not sure that it's a good point to go full Web centric nowadays. But Google has making similar OS with Chrome OS. Only Webapps and it works. Firefox OS can be the web OS for phone like Chrome OS is for computers. It's also easier for developers to create an app with web technologies. I think fFrefox OS will take long time to be mature but in 2 or 3 years it will be a win.
[Firefox OS General] chinarabbit:
ur "not sure its a good point"??

ITS DEFINITELY NOT A GOOD IDEA!!

Android is already completely web-centric.. its a useless piece of crap for anyone but people who live to 'tweet' and 'update' their stool status

ok.. I'll say it filled a sort of need from a time when hardware wasnt that good, and was just a phone.. and needed to do something else.. anything else..

but today's hardware could let Windows MOBILE reach its full potential... if we had todays hardware when everyone was working on Windows Mobile 6, we'd have a Windows 7 which was along the lines of the Desktop Windows 7, instead of running those win8 shenanigans

with todays hardware, phones are way beyond phones.. they are finally capable of running real software Programs..

There needs to be a Windows Mobile 7 Released, separate from Windows Phone 7 or Phone 8...

and it should run like desktop Windows 7, except for zoom functions, and a hardware stylus with hardware buttons on the stylus and around the phone

with 2 interior MicroSD card Slots, and 2 on the Exterior, for 4 total micro SD cards/Removable Drives, assigned as D:\, E:\ F:\ & G:\ u can add 64 GB to each for a 256GB hard drive.. + the 64GB Built-in C:\ System Drive

Firefox should at least create a phone, hardware, and an OS that RUNS something similar to Windows 7 in windowed mode, with windowed program partners for Office, Graphics, etc
[Firefox OS General] Lork Scorguar:
What I said is: there is more and more webapps and no need for a complete OS for lot of people. A web browser is good enough.

I'm agree, our phones are not phones, they are small computers and they are capable to run apps like a Windows 7. But if developers offer more and more webapps, we will just need a browser. Morevover Firefox OS is intented to developing countries, and phones running it could be more attractive in those countries.

But it's just my opinon, I could be wrong. We will see
[Firefox OS General] chinarabbit:
the idea of an all HTML 5 phone is exciting indeed..

and the kind of phone that brings to the table should well replace Android & iOS for alot of users..

the majority of today's Android & iOS Smart Phone users use their phones for social sites, Chat clients, Twittering, Updating Statuses, Sending Photos, Sharing Web info, etc..

and I believe they should have phones which are web-based, and HTML 5 seems like the perfect solution for the majority of these kinds of smart phone users..

in fact, i see Firefox OS totally Tanking Android & iOS, unless they both switch to completely HTML 5-based OS's

Android & iOS are half-wit OS's, they will have to Polarize, to either productivity-based work machines used throughout daily life, or web-based blog & Social machines

and Firefox OS will cause that polarization

and then there will inevitably have to be the Desktop Windowed OS Phone, that will replace Tablets, Phablets, Laptops & Desktops, and operate with Bluetooth Mouses & Keyboards..

---------- Post added at 03:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:45 PM ----------

I would Like Firefox to create a Windows 7 replacement OS, as a second OS, unrelated to their HTML 5 online OS
[Firefox OS General] AxyAce:
I think it will be awesome!

The Firefox OS it's coming for change our mind. With a simple development -only HTML5 and Javascript, right?, more devs will come and discover the wonders of mobile world and in the future change for other platforms and makes the biosphere rich.

But only the future will say it.
[Firefox OS General] kolembo:
This will work if they can offer something new without having to explain that it's new

That is - it has to look like FireFox

I'm afraid that they're going to spend all this time and money producing something that may have merit - but that nobody wants.

They need a design team in there to engineer a UI unique to Firefox, allow phones to do the same old things they do in a new way, whilst developing efficiencies and possibilities specific to HTML

Its got to be different - otherwise...why?
[Firefox OS General] chinarabbit:
right...

and it has to also be future-ready, ahead of the game.. created for view on desktops, full-screen Plasma TVs, and made for operation with a Keyboard & mouse from the Sofa

It needs to be a Media Center, a Home Control Panel, Security Center, Business Center, & made for TOUCH, STYLUS, AND Keyboard & Mouse Input

It needs Built-in Bluetooth Support for External Devices, including Input Devices, writing pads, Drawing pads, external action cameras, etc

It needs to control Home Entertainment & Security systems

it needs to BUILT FOR THE XDA DEVELOPERS to create an unlimited tyoe of applications

it needs to have NO LIMITATIONS AT ALL

it needs to have Multiple OS boot.. Boot to Firefox, or Boot to Android, or Boot to iOS, at the start up screen (other OS's Installed on cards)

It needs to support Internet Explorer, Opera, Chrome, Safari, and whatever else anyone wants to do.. it cant be like Google, Apple, or Microsoft and shamelessly promote their own software.. thats pathetic..

It needs to be PARTNERED with Office2+ or other great Mobile Office Suite

it needs to NOT be completely web-centric, and just as useful offline

it needs native Outlook Syncing Support, and well as Thunderbird, etc..

and it needs to be set up to natively support as many hardware buttons & Keyboard hotkeys as it may ever be used on..

it needs to partner with Gimp, OpenOffice, and other Freeware Programs

It needs to handle Multiple Micro SD cards & Multiple Sim Cards..

it needs to NOT be focused specifically on twitter, facebook, youtube etc..

i saw it available on their website just now for download for android
[Firefox OS General] chinarabbit:
If "Firefox OS" runs on Android.. is it an actual OS? or just a program that uses Android to Change your Phone into a Firefox Environment?

how does that work?
[Firefox OS General] megasoft78:
Hi chinarabbit,

Firefox OS is a new OS and not an app for Android.

Firefox OS use Linux kernel and some low level components from Android to make possible to reuse hardware drivers. This means that in theory should be easy to port Firefox OS on any Android device (unless the phone is too old) that use same components. They say that to be portable the phone need to have ICS running. :)
[Firefox OS General] gregury777:
Wow i did not know that thanks for the heads up im going to download it and try it ill tell you guys my expereince with it
[Firefox OS General] brakke97:
Epic fail compared to Ubuntu Phone OS!
[Firefox OS General] thesoupthief:
Have a read of this - a quick note after seeing the Firefox stand at MWC and comparing the over-excitement of a gang of mobile operator reps around Firefox with the quiet around the stand of a budget android handset maker. Very interesting post

http://ben-evans.com/benedictevans/2013/2/25/firefox-mobile

There seems to be huge enthusiasm for firefox among mobile companies, who may see it as their businesses' route to greater independence from Google/Apple (and hence greater profit). They want their choke hold on mobile back. Is Firefox's Open starting to mean Closed?

Interesting connundrum
[Firefox OS General] chinarabbit:
if firefox is attractive to phone companies who target the web-based user, then those companies can take their users to an experience they think is best or most beneficial for the brand & its target user base

there are all kinds of people out there. and to be honest, android is a bit of a disappointment.. not everyone wants or needs an iPhone.. and wp8, well, its not worth the headache the masochistic designers enjoy giving themselves.

google is indeed seemingly too big for its own good.. it seems to be stuck in a rut and cant bend its collective head around what the future will hold for phone users

a web-based experience for phone users undoubtedly seems preferential for many, many users, who are unimpressed with the android solution, and its apparent dead-end

if phones are really not going anywhere but this smartphone crap, then it makes sense to pass them up completely, spare yourself the stress & nerve damage, and go with something "slightly less" than a smartphone..

if its easier, simpler, less geeky, and gives a more basic, more intrinsically less intense & less stressful user experience, then i think alot of people will end up putting down their smartyphones and settle for less..

because less is way better than more of the same tired crap

unless android ever decides to create a windowed OS which can function with MyDP out to large home screens, is optimized for keyboard & mouse, and can run more powerful & productive programs.or if windows can begin the redevelopment of windows MOBILE 8 to create a similar desktop-in-a-phone solution

i have no faith at all in either one ever happening

hence, firefox may as well be my phone of choice, since it doesnt really matter, if all we are able to do is sort of half-assed swishy icony thingys with our phones
[Firefox OS General] thesoupthief:
Interesting argument, but I think I question some of the assertions you're making there. I'd agree that not everyone wants an all singing all dancing smartphone - many do just want a portal to the web, so a web based os may hold some charms for some - particularly if (and this is important) the devices are cheap, super-reliable and simple to use.

However a great many do, and pushing basic Firefox based devices to anything but the lower end of the market (or to developing markets) is gonna be a tough sell, I'd expect. At this end of the market profits are likely to be marginal. If Firefox and mobile operators are to content themselves with that then, well, good luck to 'em.

Re Android being a disappointment, to whom? The consumer experience is blossoming so far as the research indicates. To mobile companies? Well, I'm sure it is a disappointment, since people are finding better ways of communicating than using the routes through which mobile companies make their returns.

Kind of brings us back to the key point, that it's an industry with a number of competing ecosystems. Unlikely any monopoly will be arrived at, and better for it. I look forward to seeing it unfold.

I suppose I was just a bit interested in the Open / Closed paradox - that Mozilla is allligning itself with an industry group historically seen as so restrictive.
[Firefox OS General] chinarabbit:
well, to me, for starters

by blossoming u mean, better ways to communicate, thats great, and i wish us all the best in eliminating carriers altogether.. i believe we can do it.. they deserve to be dropped on their faces then kicked in the head

but android itself is not going anywhere.. its a dead end.. sure, you can make more and more apps for the thing, and good luck to you.. but what do you really have.. an out-dated solution relying solely on lots & lots of itty bitty largely frivolous apps

its not really actually going anywhere it isnt already.. its content to be a crappy little smartphone, when it really has the potential & directive to be so much more..

its a major disappointment.. its disappointing that as open as the system is, its dependent entirely on programmers who've made it an iPhone copy.. a swipe-happy play toy for little girls..

android, i believe, can be made into what we always dreamed Windows Mobile had the potential to be, all those years ago

but its not likely to ever reach its full potential...

its simply too happy being a mediocre copycat
