I have played with SO many launchers at this point it makes me dizzy. All the 3D stuff/fancy frills are battery kills. I love the stock launcher, but Nova really takes the cake for me.
[HTC Droid DNA] kenohki88:
Yea I did have 3rd party apps but I uninstalled them for that reason cause of the double notifications....still get them though don't knows what's up don't get me wrong I love nova SPB definitely not worth the price and Next was eh I'd rather use nova or EX...still running Nova right now love the gestures to pull up an app!

Hi,

I installed a custom rom not too long ago using twrp. I created a backup on before I did the install but I get an error stating "No partition selected for restore". So, as the title says I was wondering if it is possible for me to flash my phone to a stock rom from a custom rom?

Any help is deeply appreciated.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] x1tyme:
You can. Just use Odin to flash Stock.Tar and you're back to 100% stock.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] audiaxx:
Thanks, just wanted to be sure.

Edit: can someone point me in the direction of the correct stock. tar to use? I've found two, one being root66_TMO_T999UVDLJA.tar.md5 and the other being Stock-Recovery-Image(Working_T-Mobile_T999).tar Just need to be 100% sure I'm doing this correctly...

Thanks in advance

Dumb question

Every time I flash ROM. All files move to /0. Whenever I restore my backup. It keeps file not found. I had to move clockworkmod directory out of /0 to root.

Is this normal?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] egyptshun:
I am assuming that you came from an android 4.2 ROM, the same thing happened to me when I did so. I had to flash back to any 4.1 rom then manually move all files out of the 0 folder. I STRONGLY recommend that you use odin not mobile odin (its possible, I did it but it's a pain in the ass since recovery will be lost you will be in a boot loop etc etc) so back up your stuff if youre leaving that 4.2 rom go to stock rooted rom then flash what ever you want it is the safest way that I recommend. oh and yeah once back on 4.1 you can move all obb files back to android folder and what not. must move your stuff back to original way or else things like mobile odin and recovery wont find them so easily if at all.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CamFlawless:
The creation of /0 folders is to support the multiple user accounts on JB 4.2. In order to prevent the creation of endless /0 folders with each flash, update your recovery. I am not sure what version of CWM that is as I use TWRP, but doing so will eliminate the creation of additional /0 folders. You can use a file explorer to move things from your buried /0/0/0 folders into their appropriate locations.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cline2:
Yeah once I move clockworkmod folder to root and went to CWM to restore my backup then move all files from /0 to root. Its the pain in the ass!!! I like stock ROM. I tried other ROMs and didn't like it.
[Xperia Arc General] EmperorRedPanda:
I installed Cm10 unofficial anzu on my xperia arc but the 3g doesn't work. Is it because the from is no official yet?
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
Are we talking about 3G signal or 3G internet?

If internet, check your APN settings.

Also, make sure, you got baseband 72 or 77 installed.

Fixed now. I rebooted my phone a few times. Btw it was the internet .
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
So I tried to activate a used Note 2 I just bought from someone on Canada's Telus network. According to the CSR the phone is not unlocked. Is there something I can do on the phone to check this?

I tried the "*#simlock#" or "*#simlock#*" or "*#simlock" and all of them just say "Not registered on network."

I did a IMEI lookup and it says my phone is not "blocked" (stolen?) but I can't find anything on how to check if it's locked or not.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seb_labine:
Go in the boot loader and choose the sim lock option
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
How do I get into the bootloader? I can get into Odin Mode and the "Downloading..." screen...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seb_labine:
Hold the power button + down volume when your phone is shut down!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
If I press and hold those 2 keys it just continually reboots. If I press and hold them until something comes on the screen and then let go it just goes into Android.

If I add the Home button to the mix, I end up at the "Downloading..." screen at which point I need to pull the battery to reboot it.

I am a complete noob to Android, by the way, if that wasn't clear. :)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seb_labine:
Haha alright... do you have an other carrier sim card?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
No. The only SIM card that will fit (microSIM) is the Telus one I just bought. I have a work phone on Bell but it's not a microSIM and I'm not going to cut it or I won't be able to put it back in my work phone.

I should clarify that the Note 2 was being used on Bell and I am trying to use it Telus but they said it wasn't unlocked and they couldn't put it on their network.

I also read that I should get a warning error if I put a different SIM in and it is not unlocked but I started it up with my Telus SIM and got no errors.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
I'm starting to wonder if they just had a typo in the IMEI or something but if I can find something on the device to prove it's unlocked then I'll know for sure.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seb_labine:
Well actually, if your phone was on BELL and you are using it on TELUS and receving sms,data,etc... your unlocked!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
That's the problem. They refused to activate it saying it wasn't unlocked. So no, I am not receiving anything on it. If I hadn't had problems getting them to activate it, I probably wouldn't be posting this. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whodisname:
I have a totally different phone which is s-off and unlocked boot loader and all that. If I go to that option in my fastboot screen and I her a bunch of errors like emmc fail and such would that indicate my phone was sim locked? I'm on a droid incredible 4g LTE from Verizon.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
I just want to check since I have no idea how the CSR knew. They just told me it must not be unlocked but I think they just messed something up on their end.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
Looks promising. I don't get a network lock dialog like they show, though. That's why I don't think it's locked. The reason I'm not getting anything from the network is probably because they didn't activate the new SIM because they were having some kind of issue with the IMEI. It'd be nice if they filled in the customer a little more about what the issue is.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
Apparently I was right because I called them again today and they didn't even want the IMEI which is what they were having problems with yesterday and now that I've got the SIM activated I'm sending and receiving calls so I guess it's unlocked after all.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seb_labine:
Yes it is haha your sim wasn't activated that was the problem !
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unL33T:
Yes that's what I thought but for some reason they had something going wrong on their end and wouldn't activate the SIM without getting past that problem. I think I might write them an email complaining about their terrible customer service. I even got elevated service (loyalty department) and the CSR wasn't aware of a bunch of their plans or even a few promotions that expired last week.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
I have the code from T-mobile but to unlock my Note 2 they say I need an active non-t-mobile micro sim card to unlock it. I am thinking of borrowing one from someone but I want to be sure I won't mess up their micro sim when I enter the unlock code. Can anyone shed some light on this and tell me what I need to do to make sure it is unlocked once I put the code in?

I went to a cellphone repair shop and ask if they had a non-t-moble micro sim card so I could unlock my phone and they said yes. So I went through the steps required and got a unlock successful notice. Then tried to make a call with the at&t sim card and it came back not a registered user. Talked to t-mobile and they sad to call samsung and they could help me. That I will do tomorrow but I don't expect much. So if anyone can offer assistance it would be appriciated.

BTW in my research I read that typing in *#7465625# would tell me if it was unlocked. So I tried that and it said usd is runing and then unable to process request. Having never done anything like this I didn't even know how to enter the number so I tried dialing it in the phone with airplane mode off and got that message.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eoraptor:
Sooo, I got my OTA update for Tiny's CM rom today from GooIM. And low and behold... now I can't seem to access my Clockwork Recovery Mod. I enter Rom Manager, order it to reboot to Recovery, and comes to Fastboot. Or, the two finger salute, Pwr/DnVol yields the same result.

Now the phone insists that it's still Soff, Hboot 0.92, and the like... Rom Manager insists that ~it~ can detect CWM 5.0.2's presence, but any attempt to actually boot into it just results in me ending up on the Fastboot screen.

After various attempts at battery pulls and and at reinstalling RomManager and CWM, I tried instead to flash in an image for TWRP both from the GooIM app, and from ADB. That went nowhere as the phone just keeps returning remote access denied type errors in ADB, and merely booted to fastboot and stayed there till I rebooted it normally when done via the app.

Also, the refresh feature seems to have gone kerplooey. From within the rom it just restarts and sends me to the fastboot screens when I ask it to go nuclear, and if I try it from the fastboot screen, it just restarts.

So, I could use some help at this point on how to retake control of my Dinc. Right now I can't change rom's, wipe the caches, etc...

And ironically, I WAS going to install TWRP onto the device, elzimmer, but when I booted it up, it said it had the OTA update to install, so I let it do that first *rolls my eyes* On reboot I found out that that had tanked the recovery mod before I could even begin doing the factory resets and so forth.

Either way, thanks again both of you. :)

I'm so glad you posted this review. I actually purchased this skin a few weeks ago. I had planned on putting a review up myself, but I got lazy :).

My initial attempt to do this ended in a blaze of anger, resulting in my crumbling up all the pieces, and tossing them in the trash. The next morning, I saw one of the side pieces on the floor, and thought I'd give it another shot. Unfortunately, all the pieces were kinda stuck together. I figured out that the soap I was using to apply the films was a moisturizing soap, with kind of a waxy feel...pretty foolish on my part. Anyway, I carefully pulled the films apart (whilst watching a movie, because it was a looooong process), and used a different soap for the mixture. End result: glossy white protection film all around. Great product, great price.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
the above replies are correct, though i recommend you start with guides...

read the slowly and several times. they are designed to be used for anyone, even if you have no prior experience with rooting. you will also most likely to need to partition your sd card using gparted or 4ext recovery to make more space for apps, also covered in the guides.

then get in the habit of reading and searching...the answers to your queries have almost certainly already been answered...that way you learn faster...same goes for most things in life too ;)

you don't have to s-off, but it is much more advantageous, so do it. the guides will tell you how to do it, just like it did for all the noobs...

if you want go through with this, you will have to be prepared to read and learn, and eventually do it yourself. it may seem scary, but we all had to do it at some point.
