Hey Blues, if you need any help building tar files for the vast number of ROMs out there, I am waiting for more work to be available before I can go back to work... damn construction.

I have at least this week maybe some of next week available to help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Thanks. So far I have used couple ICS roms. Took the system folder and packaged that into factoryfs.img and then a blank data.img and zimage with all remaining files which are standard in stock .tar such as boot.bin, param.lfs etc to create a full rom .tar. It flashes all the parts but when the time comes for it to boot, it goes to samsung flash screen. Tries 2 times to boot and then boots into custom recovery (agat for the zimage I used).

Rwilco has suggested couple things but haven't had a chance to try those so may be I will get on it!

Hey Moho. How much have you done yet?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] krazy_smokezalot:
Yessssssss do it!!! It will be less bricks out there cuz ppl don't know wat safe recovery to use! Like certain peeps like to flash using blu Kuban kernel! Then wonder why the ROM don't boot!!! Do it BluesRulez:)

Slightly different way of making the fs.img and only doing a Rom flash.

Was working with deoxdexed flashing on top of a stock base.

Boots but ui crashes. Like a blank ui..

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
I like the idea, I mean you Odin or mobile Odin a ROM, change what you want via root explorer... What's so difficult about that? And it would really cut down on the "how do I flash this?" questions:beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
No root explorer but yes certainly if you want to make changes.

Remember that you still have custom recovery so you can flash mods in recovery if you want to. Just use Odin to flash the rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
LOL yeah just thought about that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ravaged Pheonix:
I guess the biggest question I have is what would be the benefit? Zips in cwm are usually pretty reliable. I've had less problems with zips than Odin. Generally I prefer to connect to the PC as little as possible unless using adb due to a rom not booting. I find myself using wireless adb more though. Just seems like an unnecessary step to me to use PC Odin or even mobile Odin for that matter. Cwm is pretty much the standard on every device I have rooted. Not to mention I don't have to worry about my four year old snatching the phone off the cable in the middle of a flash while I'm not looking.

(longest night EVER)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] calisro:
mobile odin or cwm for me. I don't want to use a pc if I don't have to... Just my preference.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] robrooter:
Well Blues. I like the thought of an Odin flash (if it don't wipe everything), but my humble opinion is that we should be focusing more on Roms that allow the user to choose what he or she wants in the Rom (Samsung and others take note). No more of the builds that include every little app. But then again I think I am spoiled with the aroma installer(I think aroma is in the Kuban). It is like I speak of already, I just wish there were more choices included. Like Theme support, overclock controls, back up installs...ect.

But yes, I would use an odin build if the rom excites me :)

"This is the Droid I have been looking for!"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Censura_Umbra:
This would be amazing. Would make flashing Roms that need specific kernels, or modems, or recoveries. Also would be great for downgrading. Would make flashing custom Roms from stock easier as you would only need root.

Although it would be better to work on a way to convert ROM .zips to .tars so that the user can do it themselves if they want it. Also allows for any ROM to be converted, instead of just future Roms and would be easier on devs
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
You can make a zip a Tar via root explorer, I honestly don't know if it would flash as is like that (pretty sure it doesn't add meta-inf on its own), but if that method is already available just imagine the possibilities...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
The tars that are flashed aren't just the same contents as a zip rom. They're packaged into different .img files so there's more to do than just changing it into a tar.

LightWeight ? PACman ? PA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Exactly
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Thanks, aside from having seen the option in root explorer, and using kitchen to unpack the Tar files, I haven't got the slightest clue about them LOL

I just remembered seeing that option and thought it might me useful:beer:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
when flashing a leak, my preferred method is to flash the modem zip in recovery and then flash the tar.md5 leak in mobile odin. this allows me to flash entirely on the phone, ensures that I am safe from the emmc brick bug, and does not increment my flash counter. It also allows me to inject root and mobile odin into an otherwise stock rom, which lets me debloat myself with titanium.

However, for custom roms, I see little reason to offer a tar. I prefer not to flash anything via PC odin (so as not to increment the flash counter, and not to risk a usb cable disconnecting mid flash). In a world where all flashing could be done via mobile odin (modems, gapps, tweaks, etc) tar roms would be great, but until then it would just necessitate more reboots to complete your rom install.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BluesRulez:
Custom rom odin tars can be flashed in mobile odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
I know.

I have never seen a gapps tar, or a tweaks package tar, and modems cant be flashed with mobile odin.

Since I need cwm to flash the above, flashing the rom with mobile odin means i need an additional reboot.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
There's no need to be flashing modems all the time so it would usually be one reboot after using Mobile Odin unless you're switching between builds with incompatible modems.

LightWeight ? PACman ? PA
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Adreaver:
almost all of my rom switching lately has been between AOSP and TW 4.1, which results in a modem flash every time.

I would prefer to be able to flash everything with mobile odin. If mobile odin could flash zips, or if we had a utility to convert any flashable zip into a tar, you could do amazing things.

Imagine queueing a flash in mobile odin: nandroid, wipe, flash rom/kernel/modem/gapps/tweaks/titanium backup zip/theme/whatever. You could keep root and mobile odin on any rom, while automating the entire flashing process. With tasker you could potentially automate some or all of this process, or even schedule it to happen, say at 5 am everyday, to correspond with a new nightly. The possibilities are immense.

But until things other than recovery kernels and stock TW roms can be flashed with mobile odin, recovery-flashable zips have to stay.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Perseus:
The way I look at it, Odin and PC Odin are Samsung Version of Nexus Toolkit. It offers flexibility of picking and choosing Modems, Roms and others. However, it needs TAR files or img files. I like to peek, prod and certainly poke into /system folder of the ROM I am flashing. So the Zips make it a little bit easier.

Having said that, Recoveries such as CWM don't support Non-Mainstream phones. (Garminfone anyone ? :D) Also IMHO you are susceptible to soft-bricking with Recovery flashes.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
Those non-mainstream phones your speaking of can use CWM. But it is up to the developers of that device to build a working recovery from source.

If you want to get technical, since CWM for the E4GT isn't officially supported by Koush, we have a "non-mainstream" phone.

Our developers worked hard when this phone was released to build a working CWM recovery. ROM Manager still doesn't support the E4GT.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:

Re: Enland Flip cover case

I heard the buttons are hard to access with the nillken case. Could you please tell us how does it feels with this one?

I am currently looking for a flip case too, and the best up to now seemed to be the nillken, even with that flaw, so if this one do not have the same flaw, I guess I have a winner :)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] socaltyger:
I think this is the best feature of the Google bumper. It incorporates keypressers so pressing the buttons is not as difficult as cases that have simple cutouts. Would love to see a flip case with buttons similar to the stock bumper.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JanusDC:
So, elty123, 10 days since you started this thread. Have you already received your order? We want some insights!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] girlfrommars:
Does anyone have this case yet? I'm thinking of getting the pink one, not many femine covers out for this phone yet.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elty123:
Still waiting for this case. Not sure if this will work from wireless charger, but my HP Touchpad works with the Touchstone even with a case on. This should be similar I guess.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elty123:
Finally got the red case. build quality is pretty good, and it is nice to touch. However, it doesn't really look like leather - more like.texture plastic. I think It would look better if it is not a bright peachy red.

I don't know if there is a thin cast aluminum inside, however the cover is pretty sturdy. It also doesn't seems to lower reception strength when the case is opened. I have no wireless charger to test.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] bkforyou:
Do you have some pictures?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] xnordroid:
So it's not more of a fuchsia or a hot pink? That's a relief, I liked that one. Many of these product photos use really bright light and make the colors brighter than pictured in everyday light.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] JanusDC:
What can you say about the cuts to access the buttons? I heard they are quite narrow in the Nilkin case, making it a bit hard to press them.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elty123:
And this is the first flip cover I use, and sometimes the cover doesn't close completely.... is it a problem for other flip cover?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] noxlord:
Yep, pretty common.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] elty123:
The cut is not very clean (some residual plastic). Pressing the power is ok but the volume is a bit harder, probably because of the spine.

The texture of the cover is the same as the picture... just that it is a bit more shiny than I thought.

Also closing the cover seems to reduce signal strength by a few dBm. I can't really tell because the signal strength fluctuate a lot here, even without any case.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] neer2005:
I ordered this case because it looks realllllly nice. I chose this over the nillkin because I wanted it in brown.

Hi,

i´ve recently stumbled upon the auto rotation fix (i know, it has been around for a while but i wasnt affected) and wondered how a fix like that could work. i thought a full wipe is kinda... full, so nothing of the stock rom remains.

This fix has also been quoted to solve gps issues and personally, i fixed my issue with the proximitry sensor glowing red and draining all battery.

Could anybody give more details on this? if there is enough information it might be even possible to turn this rather inconvenient fix into a nice script... if not - iam still courios!

Bought it brand new, it cracks and squeals, had to put duck-tape to reduce. I have a slight halfmilimiter gap around the headphone connector, nothing major, but not happy since my friend on a white version has no such problem. Also, I checked 2 more notes in a store and they also have the same 'problem'. This should not be so, but some are lucky to get their expensive devices right, and some of us aren't :(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yiannisthegreek:
Hmmm... I don't seem to have any "gaps" anywhere but it does creak quite a bit. Again... I don't have a case on it right now so I wonder if I put it in a case if it would reduce the creakiness at all by making it more "rigid?

Have you tried to tighten the screws under the battery cover? I may do that when I get home if I can find my tiny screwdriver set...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] angry_fisherman:
I rooted my Verizon GS3 with Jellybean last week. All went well but now I can not successfully change my Lock Screen PIN or set it to Swipe (no security) When I make any change it is accepted and I can lock the screen and my new PIN works. Then when I reboot the phone it changes back to the old PIN. When I change it to Swipe it will be on my old PIN after reboot. Also it doesn't always happen on the first reboot. I've been playing with it for a while and sometimes It reverts back to the old PIN after the second reboot.

I thought I had resolved this problem by setting the screenlock to none, then reboot, and then entering a new PIN. It seemed to work for about 3 days now it has reverted back to the old PIN.

This is unusual since I have rebooted the phone several times over the last 3 days and it didn't change till today

Any ideas as to resolve this?
