[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] porshce2:
Most of the roms on this forum are quite stable. Just read the first couple posts of the thread then read at least the last 10 pages. That'll give you a pretty good idea of any problems that may arise. But apart from that, it's really just a matter of preference. Some roms may do certain things that others don't. TW roms and AOSP-based roms are fairly different. AOSP-type roms are usually less bloated and therefore quicker however, TW roms can be just as smooth. My personal preferences for each type are:

AOSP: CM 10.1

TW: Goodness Rom (on team-nocturnal forums, also my absolute favorite thus far) or The People's Rom

@OP, this thread will most likely get closed because you will have a different meaning of "stable" and what makes a rom good as well. No one but you can know yadda yadda, long story short -> Just flash roms that have nice screenshots and try out as many as you can

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sixfoot7:
Not sure if it's possible, but given the prices of the Note II around here, it will cost me about the same to fix my S2 as it is to buy a Note II. When i open Kies on my laptop with the phone connected, it tells me the device is locked, and to unlock it first. Of course with the screen broken, that's not an option.

Any way to get around this, or am I out of luck? TIA for any help.

For SGS3, out of the box, the battery life is ok, not something to write home about. Yet, if you get rid of the bloatware, freeze some applications you don't intend to use on daily basis you can end up with more than 24 hours of battery life for sure.

Check the attachment and let me know how's yours looking like. I'm curious.

I get pretty good battery using both touch wiz and liquid smooth 4.2.2
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mr.wonder:
Can you please define "pretty good battery"? That's a bit fuzzy. Do you have a picture to prove that?

From you what you see in the attachment of my initial post, I do have close to 8 hours on battery and the current level is (was) at 65%. Indeed there was some charging during the day but I don't count that because I was using the GPS location. This being a battery intensive operation, I didn't count it in.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] md1008:
For me its good enough but me thinks I may delete my wp8 launcher. Everyone has their own standard of what's good and bad battery life. For me I am happy of I can make our most of the day on a single charge which I can. Buy a bigger battery or a spare. Check if any applications are causing drain. Check your settings like GPS, Bluetooth, auto sync etc.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] borgmanjayce:
I had to buy a replacement AC Adapter yesterday for my GSII as the cable at the plug end on my official one had worn away so much, it couldn't hold a charge any more.

Things were going well at first until I had to take out the battery and reinsert it as I thought it wasn't charging properly. While I was switching it back on, somehow the ODIN downloading screen came up. I switched off the phone and switched it back on and that's when things went wrong.

My GSII is rooted with Paranoid Android as my custom ROM and now it's not only missing the exclamation mark symbol on the screen when the phone starts to load up when switched on, but also for some weird reason, it keeps crashing and switching between the app screen (the screen with the app icons) and the Clock screen all the time.

I noticed this started to happen when I suddenly got an option to "open with" while trying to activate Onavo Extend to open with Clock or YouTube.

I'm seriously puzzled as to why this is happening and I don't know how to fix it as I know the ROM is still installed, it's just the constant glitching that's the problem.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmatlock:
My N7 is unlocked, I upgraded to 4.2.2 factory stock, rooted, and flashed ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.2.3 touch recovery. I ran into a very strange issue; if I flash the custom recovery on the tablet, then the tablet boots into a screen that asks me to type my password to decrypt storage not allowing me to enter the homescreen until I do so. Later, I found out that flashing back to stock recovery fixes the problem and my N7 is functional again. I've tried everything while on the custom recovery: erasing, formatting, writing userdata to the device without success.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
I'm not really sure what question you are asking. Also, I think you might be leaving something out which ought to be clarified, the way you describe things seems to have some pieces missing. (And, you really should not be starting yet another thread on this)

You shouldn't be able to flash custom ROMs with a stock recovery; so, are you saying that you:

- flash a ROM with a custom recovery

- try and boot it -- but it fails with the "enter password" prompt (you mention "won't let me enter the homescreen")

- flash the stock recovery into place

- perform a factory reset with the stock recovery

- now the ROM boots?

Also, do you get the same result with TWRP?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmatlock:
It's a help/troubleshooting post. I know it wasn't good to start another thread, but I felt that people that had already browsed my thread the first time wouldn't come back and now I found the reason behind my issue. I didn't flash a custom rom with stock recovery; I used fastboot on my pc to issue commands. My phone has the factory stock rom on it - then if I flash clockworkmod recovery, the next time I reboot, there's a screen that says I need to type a password to decrypt storage and I'm not able to access anything. If I go back into the bootloader and erase and write the stock recovery, I'm able to boot into the homescreen without the issue. Everything I've flashed to the tablet is done through my pc via fastboot. I never tried TWRP, but I don't like that recovery anyways.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
OK, read and understood. Very bizzare, however. Almost sounds more like something caused by the bootloader (during the fastboot write) rather than it mattering which custom recovery is sitting there (it's not clear from the above, but it almost sounds like it is not even necessary to have ever booted the custom recovery from the device's recovery partition for the problem to appear)

Are you also saying that you can not flash a custom ROM from the custom recovery without this "enter password" phenomenon happening, or is it only this combo of pure stock ROM + recovery flashed via fastboot that exhibits the problem?

I have a lightly-rooted JDQ39 Stock (4.2.2) ROM with a custom recovery - no such troubles. But mine was installed by using factory-via-fastboot of 4.2.1, followed by a manually-triggered OTA to JDQ39, and then followed in turn by a fastboot flash of the recovery partition (TWRP 2.4.1.0). That last flash was certainly performed by the 4.18 bootloader.

No troubles, but that is certainly a different installation path.

Two more small questions for clarification purposes: when you installed the factory 4.2.2 ROM via fastboot, did you follow the exact sequence of the install-all.sh script:

fastboot erase boot
fastboot erase cache
fastboot erase recovery
fastboot erase system
fastboot erase userdata
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-grouper-4.18.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 10
fastboot -w update image-nakasi-jdq39.zip

... or did you omit anything (e.g. one or more of the erases, the bootloader flashing, etc)?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmatlock:
Yeah, it's like the bootloader writes bad information to the userdata partition if the recovery isn't stock. I haven't flashed a custom rom from the custom recovery, but I'm assuming the type your password issue would appear again. Yes, it's a combo of pure stock rom + custom recovery when this problem occurs. No, when I installed the 4.2.2 factory stock rom, I unzipped all the image files and typed these commands.

fastboot oem lock
fastboot oem unlock
fastboot flash bootloader <bootloader name>.img
fastboot flash boot <boot name>.img
fastboot flash system <system name>.img
fastboot flash userdata <userdata name>.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot erase cache
fastboot reboot

I've also gone back and manually erased, formatted, and wrote the userdata partition again. Maybe I should try downgrading the bootloader to 4.2.1, reflash userdata, and flash the custom recovery?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Hmmm. Well, I can't say for sure, but I am willing to gamble that the bootloader relocates itself into a load-offset address so that it runs out of RAM rather than running directly out of Flash Memory. Much quicker that way. The implication of that is that once it is fully loaded into RAM and operational, you could actually erase the bootloader and suffer no ill effects - until you powered off the device. Then you would be in real trouble.

The point is, in the Google factory sequence, all of the partition flashing is done by the new bootloader (4.18), whereas in your case none of it is done that way - except for the custom recovery flash. Here's the Google sequence:

- erase all partitions using currently installed bootloader (4.13)

- flash new bootloader and boot into it ( 4.13 -> 4.18 )

- flash all 4.2.2 ROM partitions using new bootloader

whereas your sequence looks like:

- (no explicit erasures)

- flash partitions with old bootloader (4.13)

- reboot into new bootloader ( 4.13 -> 4.18 )

- erase cache

- flash recovery with new bootloader ( 4.18 )

very different!

Also, the "-w" switch used in the google sequence causes partition erasure and re-formatting (depending on partition type) prior to each partition's flashing.

Without going through the lock/unlock procedure, I suppose it would be possible to reflash all the partitions with 4.18 to see if the problem disappears. But, now that I said that, I realize my tab - which had an OTA upgrade - is sort of similar in that the partitions & files patched by the OTA were all initially flashed by 4.13 (by me), patched by the OTA, and then finally I flashed only the custom recovery with the 4.18 bootloader.

Doing further experimentation might mean attempting a bootloader rollback flash. I can't say that I've seen reports here of anybody trying it. And I can't say I blame them - there could be dragons hiding in that process.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] techmatlock:
Ah, I see. The sequence I followed flashing the partitions would erase and write the partitions automatically done by the fastboot script. The only instance where I erased, formatted, and flashed the partition was the userdata when I was troubleshooting. From reading other threads before, I believe people have done bootloader rollbacks without consequences to the rest of the partitions. The bootloader updates contain fixes, but aren't explicitly required for the rom to run, am I correct?

[Networking] Stocklone:
This only applies to you if you are using an employee discount through your company and the main line is a phone number that is currently associated with Google Voice through Sprint.

If you have to (re)verify your employee discount with Sprint after upgrading your phone, they will turn the main number into a corporate number due to some rule change that happened in summer of 2012. This in turn will deactivate Google Voice on that line because corporate numbers are not allowed with Google Voice through Sprint. After Google Voice is deactivated, you will not be allowed to reactivate your number with Google Voice no matter what you do. As of February 18, 2013 it is impossible to reactivate after a deactivation has occurred. Sprint is currently trying to fix the problem. I have no idea when the problem will get fixed or for how long it has been a problem.

If you read this before they screw up your Google Voice, there is a way to make your phone number not corporate but still get your employee discount if you have a family plan and a line that will never use Google Voice. You can switch the non-Voice number to your main line and activate the employee discount with that number. I had to completely remove my employee discount before that was possible to put it on a different number but my tech support person didn't seem to knowledgeable. So maybe you won't have to.

If you read this after Sprint has screwed up your Google Voice, this is still a good idea to do because you can reactivate Google Voice with your number and still keep your employee discount whenever they finally fix it.

Until then, the most you can do until they fix it is activate voicemail for your phone number so Google will still handle your voicemail instead of Sprint. This MAY require you to remove the corporate status from your line by canceling your employee discount. I don't remember if that option was available before I killed my employee discount and switched my line back to a normal line.

I hope this helps somebody else. Sprint gave me absolutely no warning that my Google Voice was going to screwed up when I reverified my employee discount after I upgraded to the Note II. Also, I talked to 4 people before I found somebody who knew what was going on and able to really help me sort out this mess so it seems this issue is not that well known.

I'm not a Google Voice expert. I'm just a guy who spent way too much of my time talking with Sprint today trying to figure out why I couldn't reactivate my number with Google Voice after they killed it.
