Okay, I appreciate the help. Sleep well.

For anyone who see's this next, just tried GooManager, also didn't work, so I'm pretty much going to give up for the rest of tonight and see what any of you have to say tomorrow. This is a bummer, but oh well, it's just weird that it was working fine and now it won't. I'm going to bed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You putting these on intsd or extsd? You can't see them through TWRP, the phones file browser, or the computer? Unmount/remount the extsd in Storage settings.

Don't flash through an app. Flash things manually through recovery. If you always use an app to flash for you, you don't learn how to fix problems when you run into them.

You can Odin TWRP from my signature (hopefully you have Mobile ODIN), or here's a zip: http://db.tt/0SzQ0aK7
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GBP85:
I bet all of your ROMs are still on your phone. The latest JB creates partitions in your memory. These partitions are for multiple users. Your problem is amplified by having an old recovery. You can locate all of your stuff by going to your memory and going through the folders that start with emulated/0. The latest recovery will fix this issue and you'll be able to use ROM toolbox to flash.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] NorNichols:
How do I get into the memory to find emulated/0?

Edit: I flashed CWR, and it worked just fine...but then I decided I didn't like the PACman ROM, so now I'm back to restoring back to normal...I guess next I'll try Carbon or Rootbox.

Edit2: Aww dangit, guys I'm a failure. It's stuck on the Samsung logo after you pass the tmobile one, so now I am back into recovery and reset everything and formatted and stuff, and now I'm trying to restore from the backup again...I think if I fix it, my flashing ROM days are done for awhile.

Edit 3: Ended up using Odin to get a rooted stock build on there, then downloaded ROM Toolbox, flashed TWRP, put the backup back on my phone since I have a copy of it on my computer, restored, and now we are all good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ethansalkic:
Disclaimer this is my honest opinion about this launcher.

Ok so the best launcher for the SGS4G is Go Launcher EX with a Jellybean skin ontop so it looks like jelly bean in some ways and also its very smooth because its go launcher ex. Also go launcher is very flexible.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Shortbus-Driver:
I would think that this should be in themes and apps....

The problem with anything "GO" is the push adds.

My opinion is ADW premium....now that's perfection.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Theraze:
Yep, back when I was on GB, ADW Premium was my launcher of choice. And since I picked it up for 10 cents on one of the sales, the price was pretty close to right as well. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Go EX has push adds and is a RAM eater, the reason I always preferred it over ADW EX, is that it always remembered my apps order within a folder. ADW always mixed the apps order inside the folder...

Anyway, Apex launcher is a good reason to shift to ICS on my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
ADW since the update is just as good on 4.xxx. GO products are just crap IMO. They started out good and then turned into crap.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nevkuril:
GO used to be good but now it's become one big ugly bloat.

Try Holo, it's ICS style but can run on GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
I consider GO product malware at this point in time, between unclear privacy policies, forcing users to sync with their servers, and push ads.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
The only go product I still use is Go SMS 'cause nothing else in google play can compare to that app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
If your on GB I can understand that but ics and beyond has much better stock mms.apk's.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] cognus:
REally? I have not even 'cracked' the stock mms... [not on my Note either].

i use go sms for a few of the features but the less apps the better IMO...

I like the quick voice reply feature and some of the other message types that save plan. if they were better marketeers, they'd push that voice reply thing as a safety applet.... people need to stop texting in cars
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Yep the stock app does everything I need it to. With 4.0 and many of the modded stock apps the support for emoji is native now. I dont messaging services like gtalk and fb messenger because I dont trust those type of third party apps anymore. TiB backs up my messages and call logs so those features are useless to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] chris31jct:
Best launcher for me was Zeam Launcher until ADW Launcher updated to what it is now. The paid version is THE S|-|¡+.

Its 4 dollars. If you can buy a $300 phone, you can afford the cheap app... Also... There's a zero tolerance piracy rule here. So this wouldn't be allowed anyways
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] spycedtx:
I have no intentions of helping pirate, but I am curious about the app. I'm not finding anything in the store that looks to match the op request, except maybe the plugin that requires Locale and Tasker. If someone knows what was being requested, could you provide a market link, please?

Thanks!

is it possible to write a code to detect if magnetometer is calibrated or not? if possible, how ? just give me a basic idea
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithgrobertson:
There have been a few posts that say the call quality is bad.

GSM Arena's review states that calls are loud and clear, but the speakerphone performance is awful.

(Link to specific page for GSM Arena review)

While everyone is wondering about the display and battery life (two very important qualities in a phone),

can anyone provide details about the CALL quality?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hebbe:
yeah yeah,.... a few weeks ago it was cool hyping the xperia z in reviews....now it seems that bashing it is the new way to go...i've even seen reviews that complain about the too edgy design of the device, and it doesn't feel as good in the hand as the s3 htc one does...

(don't get me wrong, nothing against you, but people should stay cool about all the upcoming news on how bad this and that aspect of the z is...)
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattman83:
Disappointed by the loudspeaker, but "loud and clear" calling is good for me. Don't use speaker really so don't care too much about that.

M.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shasarak:
All they actually say is:

The way that's phrased makes me wonder if they actually tried making calls with it, or if they are simply noting the fact that it has active noise cancellation.

I've only seen one review that specifically mentions call quality, and it's fairly negative: http://www.phonearena.com/reviews/Sony-Xperia-Z-Review_id3247/page/4
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dartagnan04:
Here, I've got a 8/10.

But there is no details...
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nostupidthing:
any more opinions?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LenAsh:
Call quality (both ends of the call) is excellent, quality and volume are top-notch.

The Z has a "waterproof" main speaker and the output is quite low, so not great when used as a speakerphone. The ZL on the other hand has a freakin amazing speaker - really loud.

hi friends..

i have sony lww rooted and a flashed custom rom serenity v3 and vegeyance 1.31 kernel.

now i want to try another custom rom but i have some confusion..

should i have to follow all procedure again while flashing another custom rom

i mean i don't want to loose my data and contacts again i have backup but i don't want to do it again

so if i want to flash another custom rom should i have to follow all procedure like..

-flash a kernel

- do a full wipe/factory reset

- wipe cache

- go to mount & storage>format system

- go to advance-wipe dalvik cache

- flash the rom

i know flashing kernel and flashing rom is always important and without it i cant install any custom rom

but i hate the steps to follow between these two steps.....

so friends plz tell me is this compulsory to follow all steps or is there any short way...

thanx to all in advance.....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] abcdjdj:
If you are on an ics kernel, no need to flash a kernel again. If you want to flash CM, then you have to follow all the instructions. While switching between roms, wipe everything except the /data partition. Then install your new custom rom. There is no guarantee that the rom will boot. It is recommended to wipe everything but no harm in trying. It is much safer to backup contacts by going to contacts and export to sd card. For messages you can use Sms backup and restore on market. Use titanium backup for apps. Done!:)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mihahn:
I would not recommend to format /system. Otherwise you may get a getprop error. The updater-script should wipe /system automatically ;)

Only wipe it if it's recommend in the thread of the rom :good:
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] a|\|droid_user:
follow this procedure bro...

1.Backup

So you dont want to lose data...then first backup your contacts,export it to memory card,

then backup messages using sms backup and restore,u can find that on the play store...

dont forget to make a nandroid backup..

2.Gather info about current device status and the rom u want to flash

then check whether the rom you want to flash requires a different kernel other than the one on your device right now...

if the android versions differ,definitely kernel has to be changed otherwise you can get stuck in a bootloop...

visit the rom thread,check whether there are some bugs associated with your device,download the fixes required if any...

here you might find links to the supported kernels,instructions on installing the rom i.e wipe cache,data,dalvik cache,system etc etc...

download the rom,copy it to your sdcard along with the fixes if any...

3.Start flashing

First flash the kernel...then enter recovery

wipe the partitions that were mentioned on the thread...

then select your rom and flash it..,then enter recovery again if u want to flash the fixes...

4.Restoring..

install titanium backup first,restore all your apps from the nandroid backup,then you can restore the contacts and messages...

you are done:)

i know its a long procedure,u can get really frustrated until you hit on a stable rom and kernel...but i dont think there is any shortcut to this..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] RavinduSha:
Sometimes the updater-script in your new rom may have been set to delete data,system,cache,dalvik cache. So if u don't want them to delete u have to edit the updater-script.

Now that we're S-Off we can flash new radios without having to relock and install the OTA. Does anyone know if extracting just the firmware.zip from the OTA and flashing it in fastboot will work?

Maybe something like this:

adb reboot bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

fastboot reboot bootloader

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot reboot

[HTC One V] LuigiBull23:
I'm the type that likes to ALWAYS do a clean Rom install by wiping EVERYTHING. I've tried looking through the forums but cannot find a decent answer as to why my Virgin Mobile One V fails to perform a full factory reset immediately after swiping to confirm. All that displays is "make_extf4fs" and "FAILED" highlighted in red at the top of the screen. I tried every troubleshooting step recommended to me but still nothing seems to fix this issue and without a solution I cannot do a clean install of my roms that I normally do. What should I do? If anyone has a reliable solution please do help me out. I would greatly appreciate it.
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
It has been brought up in a thread here and I've been told not to worry about it and that it wont affect anything but in my opinion it does so i found a full wipe flashable zip that i use along with the other wipes. Let me know if u want and ill upload it and u can have it

Sent from my One V using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[HTC One V] LuigiBull23:
It does affect because after it continued to fail I attempted to flash my Rom anyways and all it did was constantly reboot my phone so I had no choice but to go back to stock and reboot but am stuck with the same TWRP issue so if you can provide me with a wipe flashable zip that will do the same wipe procedure please do. Thank you very much.
[HTC One V] riggerman0421:
Read the log on the screen. It is trying to wipe an sd-ext partition. If you haven't partitioned your SD card, then it will give you that error. It is still performing a full wipe of the other partitions.
[HTC One V] LuigiBull23:
Sorry if this is a noob question but this is my first time experiencing this issue so how exactly would I check to see if the sd card is partitioned? I assumed it would automatically be that way after flashing the recovery. It's always been that way up until now.
[HTC One V] riggerman0421:
It's looking for a second ext partition on your card. This is used by various app2sd scripts (such as link2sd) to fool the phone into thinking the apps are installed on internal phone memory instead the normal android way. If you haven't partitioned it yourself, then don't worry about the error message. It's just letting you know it didn't find the second partition.
[HTC One V] LuigiBull23:
Oh OK so besides that a full factory reset is still being made? Because I thought that was the cause of my roms not working properly.
[HTC One V] sbkjuggalo:
They say it does but over time if he experience is any thing like mine i started having lags and even had a couple installs were apps that i her on pervious ROM were then on the new ROM when i first booted it

Sent from my One V using Xparent ICS Tapatalk 2
[HTC One V] LuigiBull23:
Idk.. After that first experience with my last Rom I'm kind of afraid to flash anything else after wiping everything due to it failing on a factory reset. I need to know if it TRULY is safe.

[HTC One X] zvieratko:
Hi,

I just got a charging case that uses the POGO pins on the back. Unfortunately, this limits the power input to 500mA - just barely enough to charge the device, not enough to charge a heavily used device.

So I tried a trick and it works.

1) Turn off the case

2) Connect AC adapter to the HOX as usual (this turns on fast charge - 1A max)

3) Turn on the case

4) disconnect AC power

Now for as long as the case provides juice, HOX will draw up to 1A from it. You can charge the case in the meantime without interruption.

This is of course working only until you take HOX from the case or you reboot it.
[HTC One X] zvieratko:
One other though - I'm thinking of creating a "trick" USB plug for the connector - just a resistor in the data pins to make HOX think it's in AC power all the time. I wonder if it would work :)
[HTC One X] Dikiz:
i`m not familiar with hox,but with sgs just short data pins in charger(or usb cable white.green wires connect togeteher) and phone thinks that it`s ac charger not usb

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RD274:
Hey guys,

I've been looking to get a tablet for a long time now and being the average broke-ass student on the internet, I'm looking for something cheap (i.e. 200$ range). Basically my options are the Iconia A500, Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Transformer TF101. However, I heard the dev support for the Iconia isn't perfect, I don't like the build quality of Samsung stuff and so that leaves the Transformer.

Anyways so about the transformer now, I want it for watching movies, surfing the net and playing a few apps and games that currently lag on my aging HD2. How does the tablet fare in this regard? What about this tablets relevance? How long will it be able to handle apps and games before its Tegra 2 hardware shows signs of strain?

Thanks
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RD274:
Can I get some help with this?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
As you have probably figured out, this forum is not very active lately since it is nearly a 2 year old device.

I still use mine daily, I am running TeamEOS 4 JellyBean ROM on it and it is just as fast as ever. There are very few games and apps that I run across that do not work because of the Tegra2 chip.

However - here is my advice:

If you want a 10" tablet with a netbook form factor (keyboard dock) and you can get both parts for $200 or so, then it is a fine deal.

If you are just looking for a "tablet" only, I would spring for the Nexus 7 personally. It is $200 for a 16 GB and has the Tegra 3, and is on JB 4.2.2 already. No expandable storage, but other than that it is a great tablet, and at 7" it fits in most pockets so it is quite portable.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RD274:
Yeah I kinda figured that out lol. That said I don't think age can be the judge of these things, my HD2 is pretty old and is begining to show its age but seems to be handling JB just fine. Back on topic:

1) Working apps is nice, but how well do the apps work? Do they run smooth enough and not crash? Does heavy 3D games run fine and does it heat up the tablet?

2) What about video playback? I plan on watching 720p videos on it. I don't expect mkv to play too well but what about everything else? How do 720p videos look on the 10" screen?

See, basically I just want a great 10" tablet for

watching movies, surfing the net and perhaps a few apps that my HD2 can't really run well (3d games mainly)

. I'm not expecting much at 200$ or a lot from its Tegra 2 but my requirement of 10" is why I have not considered the Nexus 7 or I'd have got that with my eyes closed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frederuco:
Honestly, I am still impressed with what this thing can do. I am running the TeamEOS 4 ROM (Jelly Bean 4.2.2) and it is just as smooth as my iPhone.

I have my CPU overclocked to 1.4 GHz (up from the stock 1.0 GHz). It runs pretty smoothly and is a good balance. I have run it at 1.5 and 1.6 GHz on some older ROMs (MattmanWRX CM10/PA hybrid) with great success but on the EOS 4 it gets some random reboots and sleep of death if I run at 1.6. Also, at 1.6 it gets a bit warm. 1.4 stays pretty cool, maybe slightly warm if you game for a while.

Here is a video I just shot of the benchmark of the game Epic Citadel. The framerates tend to be between 20 and 30 FPS, 24 FPS is about as fast as the human eye can see so it is quite smooth IMO.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7tlCgE1Hyg

I play 720p mkv files on it all the time. They run quite smoothly using MX Player. If the video is created with crazy high frame rates (50+ FPS) then it can struggle, but considering the 24 Hz limit of the eye, never had an issue with that. Even 1080p mkv @ 24 Hz play smoothly.

And a sample of a 720p mkv played on my TF101:
