The phone is a rooted AT&T SGS3. Wanted to unroot the phone so I could take the OTA JB update. Booted into ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.1.4 and selected to backup to external SD card. Received the following:

ClockworkMood Recovery v6.0.1.4

SD Card space free: 6506MB

Backing up boot image...

Backing up recovery image...

Backing up system...

Freeing space...

Done freeing space.

Waited a while and rebooted. received notification that Ext. SD card was damaged. ASTRO File Manager could not see the card. My laptop could not see the card. Put the card back in the phone and CWM Recovery could see it. Attempted to do backup and received the following:

ClockworkMood Recovery v6.0.1.4

SD Card space free: 6506MB

Backing up system...

Error while making a backup image of /system!

Now the notification is gone and ASTRO can see the card; however, folders are missing from the card.

I have never had any problems with the card until trying to make the backup. Did I do something wrong?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Gabewalters:
Try putting the SD card into the adapter it came with and plug in into your computer. Open a command prompt, and type "chkdsk e:"(replace with whatever your drive letter is) followed by /r. It should check your SD card and fix any problems

[Motorola Atrix 2] nishant203:

What all did u install on rom?
[Motorola Atrix 2] monichutti:
may be due to internal storage, wiping may help

That worked finally,,,,,,,

Should i go ahead with this rom as i am worried a bit. And yes what i did before such thing happened was changing the Default storage from Phone to SD card as stated in the instructions column

thanks! it worked,but i ran away from this ROM,it had problems in calling section.automatically took the China's code :| i want the Camera app.Jellybean camera app which was in this ROM was very good.can anyone post here a Titanum Backup of the Camera app for me please?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Black Metal:
anyone cant do this?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Lifehacker7:
The 4.2 camera is in the apps section. Look there.

And about the country code issue, go to dialer, settings, there might be a thing called assisted dialing ( not sure about the name). Uncheck it or set it to your location.

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] bigbiff:
Hello.

I am looking at fixing powerdown from TWRP on the Galaxy Note2 series of phones. I was able to get it to power down calling android_reboot(ANDROID_RB_POWEROFF, 0, 0); from libcutils. However when the phone powers on, it goes straight into recovery.

I was hoping someone might have an idea on where the bootloader gets it's information on what partition to boot so we can fix this to boot into system right away.

On the qualcomm Note1, we could run

echo 3 > /dev/block/mmcblk0p12

to boot into system.

I am looking forward to your ideas.

Hi, thanks for the pointer. Do you know how to pass the info to that sec reboot function to boot normally?
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] thewadegeek:
Based off a quick glance at the code from my phone you want to hit the reboot_mode_none case.
[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] bigbiff:
Yeah I was wondering how to pass that to some place from userland since you can't talk to the kernel without some facility interface.

[Nexus 7 General] fluxthesky:
Well I'm not really experiencing a lot of lag, but it's not really smooth, even my old LG Optimus 2X running CM10 is smoother than my Nexus when scrolling through menus.

My nexus really lags a lot when scrolling through documents, and on the app drawer, especially in the widgets tab. Some games like NFS and beach buggy blitz doesn't run smoothy too.

So will a custom kernel fix everything? I don't really want to install custom ROMs.. I like how stock feel and I'm kinda sick of customizing like my LG.
[Nexus 7 General] alxrock:
Did you try disabling Background sync in Google Currents?

That should help a bit.

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Nexus 7 General] fluxthesky:
I cleared cache, and disabled the app altogether. Still doesn't help.
[Nexus 7 General] FLASHnox:
Coming from stock 4.2.1 switching to dirty aokp with Franko kernel I can say I don't really notice a difference in lag. 4.2.1 never lagged for me before and I can't understand what people are talking about. Maybe it's because I never experienced the previous versions before...
[Nexus 7 General] gregy74:
You can install Beach Buggy Blitz from Market. It is free game with great graphics. Then you can see lags, with gaming. And there is no solution for this.
[Nexus 7 General] khaytsus:
Lag with a specific game is not general system lag...

All of these "lag" threads all go the same place; every random direction. No coherent information is ever formed..

I too would like to figure out how to get rid of the random lags after waking the device, during IO, just random other times while using the device etc.. I'll try a kernel, maybe a custom ROM at some point, maybe I've waited too long, but I've been using the stock rooted ROM. First device I kept the stock ROM on since I got my Nexus One, at least for a while ;)
[Nexus 7 General] thanantos:
4.2.1 here with 0 lag. Currents background data WAS enabled, but I just shut it off. Thanks for the tip.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
What kind of lag? While doing what? Without a proper description don't expect too much help.
[Nexus 7 General] ghost02:
Like everyone has said it is hard to tell without more information but generally custom kernels do provide better performance overall and therefor would probably be best for covering all the bases.
[Nexus 7 General] Leonhan:
Like all machines aren't created equal, I don't seem to be experiencing any kind of lag on my device, as it is buttery smooth even in stock rom. I guess your device maybe running hot?
[Nexus 7 General] fluxthesky:
So I installed Franco on it, and lo and behold, the device got a lot more smoother, still running stock ROM.

But the battery is taking a plunge!! No idea why. Perhaps a re charge will solve problems.
[Nexus 7 General] Salty Wagyu:
It helps quite a bit but still nowhere near the smoothness of 4.1.2. Recent Apps button still takes a while to load for example.
[Nexus 7 General] Robin2:
My stock 4.2.1 is quite smooth, even better than a lot of custom roms. A different kernel improves it a bit, but not by much.

[Nexus 7 General] tvdang7:
i lag too. I think it is because of lack of ram. I always have to manually close out all apps to make things smooth again.(hulu and netflix use alot of ram)

I know the first impression would be that there are many good music/media players on the play store.

I was looking at the in app purchases of winamp pro like the album washer and lyrics app.

Is there any media player which has all the 3 functions within them and for free or say £0.69 or something less.

Thank you for the suggestions.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bad-Pixel:
Hi guys, since some day, I thought i could be interesting to use and manage our Note by our pc, maybe while it's connected for a charge. I searched everywhere, and in the end I found a program (but not really)... Android screencast. Connecting the mobile by a usb cable to a pc, and running some adb comands, it should be allow us to manage our mobile from our pc, using our keyboard and our mouse also. Now, I don't know if this little program (android screencast is a little java script) is updated to work with our note, but I followed all the instructions, and I'm not able to use keyboard or mouse. I just can see the display on my note though my pc, but I cannot interact in anyway with it.

Now, anyone already used this program? Anyone know an alternative program to do what I wish to?

Thanks in advance

Interesting app! But it works only with stock rom I guess. Yesterday I found another app, MyMobilier (for pc). Once time you connect your note by usb, mymobilier install an app on your note also and it works greatly. You can control your note totally, using mouse and keyboard pc ;)

Can anyone please name the advantages of CM9 installed on our phone?

Currently i use Bagux 1.4 and I've noticed these pros against cm9:

Better battery,

No connectivity problems,

Camera works faster..
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] guilhermecedraz:
CM9 r5

I bought my Galaxy W has 8 days and I am already using the CM9, not sorry ...
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] 7amada100:
Advantages:

1- It is ICS so it has more features and options. CM gives even more customizations to Android

2- It looks way better than stock GB

3- There are many custom kernels!

4- It has more attention from the devs, GB has WAY less attentions now.......

5- The theme option in setting, this means that you can change the colours of the rom just by installing an app :D

6- You will be upgrading to a rom that has been made by Sir Arco..........Enough said!

Disadvantages:

No FMradio
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] guilhermecedraz:
CM9!

arco68 is very good at it ... CM9 makes! The samsung is so ***** that left us in 2.3.6, but for that there XDA developers! : D: D

Excuse my English, I'm Brazilian.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Jonny993:
You can download Spirit Light, it's a FMRadio and it works greater than the original one for what I saw till now.. =)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] egagah:
i would say if you've used stock GB for a long time like me, you will find stock GB's interface to be more simple haha. But learning a new interface is never too hard so this is not much of a pro.

some even speculated that GB roms uses less battery than ICS/JB roms since well u know... GB has not much to offer xD! But I believe with more and more kernels developed within the ICS/JB frameworks, GB will also lose in the battery department.

So in conclusion, GB is outdated and should only be kept for preference purposes. (right now, I'm too lazy to migrate due to all the customization I have to redo and the ICS/JB rom still not finalized yet, yes I'm unreasonably demanding lol)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] vklexer:
I've tried a lot of roms. Thought i will stick with CM9, but after experiencing wifi, data problems, battery drain, I've came back to GB Bagux rom, which runs smoothly for me and has no bugs or problems. I always change the interface with custom launchers, so looks of GB isnt an issue, since there is themes for its framework too. I think its better to have more free memory, than to run on the Edge of memory shortage like on CM9. And battery is definately better for example 1d16h on battery and 66% left. (didnt use phone much but still on cm9 it was 2-3% while deepsleep)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klacenas:
We can talk all day bout this topic. But in my opinion it really depends on what type of user you are.

In my case, i use camera a lot at work, i also use fm radio, and plays a lot of 3d games.

It's a mix feeling when you try those different roms. When i flashed CM10 i thought i was never gonna go back to GB.

JB brings new stuff, buttery smooth as they say, and it's the latest Android. But there are still bugs in the camera, and battery life isn't that good yet compared to GB. After using it for more than a month, i decided to try the latest GB update (2.3.6 dated December 2012).

I think i'm gonna stick with GB for the moment. Not until battery life is improved and those glitches in the camera are fixed.

To compensate the feeling of being outdated, i tried different launchers. I mean really different, like launcher 8 which totally mimics the windows phone interface. Looks can be easily achieved whether you are in GB or JB as there are plenty of launchers and customizations out there.

When it comes to performance, i managed to get the best of my current GB rom by carefully managing start ups and disabling apps which i do not really use. It plays all the 3d games i have with no lag at all. I do not overclock my phone, coz it will just eat up more battery.

Overall, i think my current setup is better and just what i need for daily use. It's quick, no bugs, reliable, and the battery can last 2 days with minimal use. So I'm satisfied and happy with it. For now..

[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klacenas:
if you want to try gb for gaming install the latest euro update XXLMI (december 2012). i think it performs better.

install "autostarts" from market and disable auto starting apps to save memory.

u may want to freeze system apps you don't use also with link2sd. this is what i did basically, without any other tweaks and i'm happy with the result.

Hello, Im trying to set back my old phone to factory.

Its a Samsung Vibrant (obviously)

I used odin and I was able to push all files successfully.

My problem is that when it finished I got the "E:Cant open /sdcardupdate.zip" error.

This means that the Update.zip was deleted or moved or renamed.

My problem now is that since the phone is no longer "rooted".

How do I push the Update.zip to my phone now? x_x

I have the drivers installed for the phone, but when I go to "My Computer" - the drives are transparent and unable to open.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kagerusui:
The phone was rooted in the past.

I've flashed hundreds of ROMs on it.

But when I was flashing 4.2.1 it started acting weird and I would constantly get "No service" (cant make calls or text).

A few years back when I first started rooting it and flashing, I remember deleting the update.zip from the phone for space.

I moved it to my SD card.

Now when I went to Odin trying to set the phone back to factory, I got myself into the trouble Im on.

I used the PIT and TAR files on those treads.

Tried many of them, ran hundreds of md5 checks.

Ive been trying to fix it for 3 weeks now.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fishman0919:
Seems the problem is you not using a GB Bootloader... needed for JB v4.2.1... but not good of Eclair v2.1 JFD

Here, Odin this LINK ... stock Vibrant bootloader

... make sure Re-partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are unchecked.

After the Odin finishes, hold in the power button for 10 sec to reboot.

I applied the patch (MD5) you linked and same problem presists.

Maybe I patched it wrong, How exactly would I go about it on Odin?

I tried patching it instead of the TAR file under PDA.

I used PIT where PIT is supposed to be.

sorry for my ignorance.

After I flashed this Im no longer able to go into Download.

All I get is the "Charging Icon" if I try to go into download mode with USB cable connected.

If I try to go to download mode without connecting it to the PC (just pressing Volume UP and POWER) I get an error I never seen before.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsgun357:
OK, Im still not sure why this happened to you. I have noticed an increase in these issue lately. Now, do you have a ROM on the devices SD card?

Did you originally root with update.zip and a ROM or did you use a super1 click root?

Lastly have you tried Odin again, making sure you have correct files, and without repartition checked?

Id est quod est
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kagerusui:
Woot! I thought people forgot about me lol, sorry.

I tried with ROM inside external SD card,

I also tried with nothing inside the SD card.

I tried with no SD card at all as well.

The recovery does not give me options to flash from an external SD card. Only rooted phones give you that option.

And yes, I've tried over 500x already (literally)

I sort of gave up on it.
