I just got my sgs3 as a vday gift from my hubby.

I love the phone but I am not so pleased on some of the features.

my notification bar is full of junk and my drop down menu is worse.

90% of the apps I will never open let alone use.

I recently rooted and added a custom rom to samsung vibrant. The phone was outdated.

my question is are there successful cases of people rooting and customizing thosedevice then restoring to stock for use of warranty or claim.

I would really love to root my phone and I know it voids warranty but I have never seen a phone this terrible before ......ffs I can't even find 1 ringtone I like.

If you copied and pasted in word pad or something, it usually don't work as an init.d script, for me anyway.

I usually open it up on my phone with es file explorer, delete all the # lines and make sure 'enter/return' is pressed at the end of every command line. Save then set permissions to all on, because they will change after saving.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Methroix:
I've only used the text editor within ES File Explorer for my editing, and since the same script works when pasting it into Terminal, there shouldn't be any weird formatting.

I'll try removing the #-lines and setting 777 permissions.

A small correction to my previous post:

Naturally I meant I've tried changing Group to root, the owner has always stayed as root.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Methroix:
Thanks for the cleaned up script. It certainly is a lot more efficient than mine.

Sadly though, it made no difference. Gamma was still at 3.0 after reboot.

I read somewhere that "dmesg" could be used to verify that a script had been properly run, and true enough it displays all the correct values once I've run the color script inside the terminal. But when I run it directly after a reboot it shows no color values at all, in fact I'm pretty sure no init.d scripts are shown.

Of course I'm not entirely sure how it works, but shouldn't it display all the set values?

i think you can't install cyanogen on 4x HD unless your device be developer edition, because the bootloader y locked, this is the reason why not exist too much custom roms for this phone

You didn't get it - your SIM could be causing this. Try to change SIM cards and at the same time: test your SIM on a different phone and test your phone with another SIM. If the errors will go on, you SIM is faulty. If phone is still giving the same errors, the device is the cause of this.

Long shot, but you could try cleaning the surface of the sim card connectors, sometimes dirt get there.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ricky Divjakovski:
Download the required ruu, install, if it boots up and sim works problem solved, if not try gently elavating the sim pins slightly abut higher and scratching the surface of each then try! That's if you have access to them. If that doesn't work you might reconsider repairing the sim jack..

I wouldn't recommend Doing this yourself as it can damage your phone! The only reason I am able to do it is because I've had many years experiance repairing phone hardware!

I take no liability for any damages done to your phone if you proceed through the processes!

Hello all,

I can't seem to find an option.

[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] lunarjetman1:
Re: Lockscreen wallpaper from theme as Home wallpaper

I know this. But when you choose a theme, the lockscreen has a different picture to the cosmic flow like wallpaper that appears on the home screens.

What I want to do is use the lockscreen wallpaper as the home screen wallpaper, when I look at pre-installed wallpapers I cannot see any of the lockscreen wallpapers there. I only see the wallpaper when looking at the themes, and then it only gets applied to the lockscreen.

Cheers,

Lunar.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nomar1245:
I recently picked up a Nexus 7 to replace my Nook Color. I love everything about it but have gotten stuck in once aspect. I can't add any media files to my home screen.

With my Nook I used this guide:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=872295

It let me add books directly to my home screen. I could click on them and it would open my book for me. But now I can't get it to work. I have version 4.2.463 and I don't know how to change the MIME Type and SubType settings in this version. I can view it by long pressing and then clicking on Properties.

When I try to create the shortcut with Desktop Visualizer I got to Launch -> Select Action -> Other -> Astro File Manager -> [Navigate to file]

The Launch field stays blank and then when I press Ok, it says "Failed to create shortcut or Widget" I get this error with every file extension type.

I'd like to be able to do this again, but not with just books. I'd like to do it with Videos also. Right now I can only navigate to folders and not directly to the files. Ideally I'd like to have it setup the way the following picture shows:

When I touch the Spider-Man icon, it loads a folder where Spider-Man is stored. I then touch that file and it plays in Double-Twist. I'd like to cut out the middle step and launch the video in double twist from my home screen.

I can create a shortcut but the icon stays the same size as a typical icon. I'd like the big FanArt style icon like in my picture.

Can anyone suggest a fix or an alternate approach to make this happen for me?

[HTC Droid DNA] zone23:
Don't think so the RUU will tell you that you have the wrong version and can't go back. Its forward only. The other issue is we don't have DEV Unlock from HTC. S-Off wouldn't be a big deal if we had official unlock from HTC that's were we are getting screwed. Otherwise I would flash to stock, update, use HTC Unlock then pull the ROM, but we can't do that here.

Has anybody just tried to flash it via fast boot?
[HTC Droid DNA] SAMPCam:
Nope, does not appear so. Just tried it. Doesn't seem to recognize an update/firmware/PL83IMG.zip. Most likely because we don't have an sdcard, and hboot searches for those files on it.

It could be worth a try. I am not sure if S-ON locks everything down. I remember when I had my Evo 3D/LTE you were able to flash certain files even with S-ON (if I remember correctly, that is - don't quote me on that).

I'm almost sure the developers are already incorperating this update into there roms for updates. And if not looking for a way to root the new OTA.

I used my original unlock_code.bin. But this phone is picky. To unlock I had to boot into bootloader while the phone is off in order for it to unlock. You must boot into HBOOT when the phone is off. I wouldn't just go jumping in and trying it unless you wouldn't mind locked until a way is discovered.

[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
All you do is charge phone, plug in to computer, type "fastboot oem lock", run the ruu, then take the update. Then reuse your original cid and re unlock. Doesn't seem like much coming from Motorola's and even some samsungs seem to be way worse to take updates.
[HTC Droid DNA] huskers15:
Running ruu erase the phone even sd ?

Husker_DNA
[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
Yes, but then if I flash ViperDNA, I actually revert some files I just spent time upgrading. Obviously a complete waste of time. I'll wait until nit merges the OTA with the ROM. If I have to relock/unlock at that time so be it, but I'm not going back to stock for what amounts to a minor patch. If there was an Android or Sense version upgrade, that'd be another story.
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
Yes

Edit: Now that I am trying to update to 2.??? I have relocked my device, and I have ruu'd back to stock but my device will not find the update anymore. I have the OTAPkg.zip on my sdcard, if someone knows where to place it to be manually flashed that would be super helpful because the download folder certainly isn't doing it for me lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] lazarus2297:
It would be /cache/"folder name" but you probably have to have root access to place the file there...

For "folder name" I think when the ota starts it creates its own name so not sure how would do it manually especially since you don't have root access anymore..
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
Eff you see Kay!!!!!!!
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
Not a waste of time at all. Radio and Hboot updates aren't lost when you flash a ROM, Viper or otherwise. And those updates can't get cooked into a ROM, so what you're saying here doesn't really make sense.

Yes, there were some minor fixes to the stock Rom, but the really juicy stuff that will improve the performance of the entire phone is in the firmware (HBoot & Radios) update. These improvements stick, regardless of what Rom you run. If you don't do the update, you won't enjoy the benefits.

One more thing to consider: once the new update is determined by our devs to be the better, more stable platform, they'll stop writing for the old firmware. We saw this with the Rezound.

[HTC Droid DNA] docnok63:
I don't understand why you're so concerned with what software I have on my phone that you're trying to press an update on me. I'm very happy with my phone's current setup. I don't have any issues with my radios or hboot. Until someone comes up with a new system writable kernel and nit updates Viper, I'm quite content to sit where I am.

Newer software doesn't always mean better. Think Window Millennium, Vista, Android Honeycomb, etc, etc..
[HTC Droid DNA] djnikko:
If I never installed a Rom or changed kernel, but just rooted, and stayed stock, never deleted bloat is it possible to re-lock and just take update, and then re-unlock? Install recovery, and than Rom?

posted by Droid DNA/Transformer Infinity
[HTC Droid DNA] Sjflowerhorn:
The RUU doesn't discriminate! Regulates every shade of that a$$. Lol basically as long as you lock it and run the RUU successfully and then wait for/take the update then re unlock, recovery, root, kernel/rom you will be good to go. Just remember you may not have the OTA yet. Vzw is doing a "wave rollout" so they don't have to replace 500,000 phones lol.
[HTC Droid DNA] beaups:
You don't need to relock first. Just need to flash stock recovery.

Make sure you have super cid before you update, too.
[HTC Droid DNA] BBEgo:
Whoa take it easy! In no way am I trying to tell you what to do. I was just trying to help clear up a couple of things that you didn't appear to fully understand. You implied that Nit would be able to incorporate everything that was important in the update in his next releases, and that simply is not true.

If you have no radio problems in your area, that's awesome. But many do have reception issues in certain places, and radio updates can fix these issues. For those who would benefit from a radio upgrade, they'll want the OTA update. The new HBoot does correct a few things that many people consider critically important, but again, that might not apply to you.

Sorry if I offended you.
