Hi all,

in this section I found a lot of preliminar Android ROMs, also based on ICS and Jelly Bean.

By the way, is there any really working Android ROM for GT-S8500 Wave?

Also a ROM based on an old Android version (2.3) could be good.

Thank you
[Android Development on Bada] FPSUsername:
only jellybean here

wave 1: sd rom (see threat by tigrouzen)

wave 2: rebellos rom (see threat by rebellos)

sd is better, but ist available for wave 2. (it was supposed to get released, but tigrouzen lost his work)

Download this.

Now, extract the folder and with cmd (with cd command or shortcut keys) go into this folder and in fastboot usb try: "fastboot devices".

If it show to you your hox serial number and a write like fastboot, you can use all fastboot command.

Hi, I just Rooted for the first time and installed Jedi Mind Trick ROM (v4) and I absolutely love it!! Now, I just downloaded some of the zip files that were on the bottome of the the XDA Forums Original XDA ROM located here: Jedi Mind Trick Files

I was wondering, How do I find out what some of these files are and are used for?

Also, Do I have to install them in the TWRP Recovery Mode?

Thanks for your help!

UPDATE; Nevermind...I figured it out..I copied the files to my Micro SD card and Rebooted in Recovery Mode and installed (Flashed) them there..Sorry for the Dumb question......

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JavaBratt:
About eight months ago I traded in my Verizon BlackBerry for a Droid Incredible 2, but I still have a LOT to learn, so please bare with me :)

When I got my Inc2 I immediately got it rooted & flashed with a LOT of help as it took numerous steps and two days to complete. So from day one I've been using Skyraider Zeus, and have really enjoyed it. But recently the battery icon has started turning red with an exclamation point. After having been told by a number of people that this sounded like a battery issue, so I purchased a new battery. Unfortunately that didn't solve the issue. It was then suggested that I flash a new ROM to see if that would fix it. I assumed it would, to an extent, since most ROM's use different battery icon images.

So I traded (begrudgingly) my beloved Skyraider Zeus this weekend for ViperINC 1.3.1. Unfortunately I only used this ROM about 24-hours because I could no longer use wireless tether, which for me was a deal-breaker :(

I then traded ViperINC for Magnolia 2.1.1, which I very much liked because it was so similar to Skyraider Zeus, and I was once again able to use my wireless tether. Unfortunately I started experiencing the red battery icon issue again, as well as it would not allow me to connect my Google account, thus preventing me from using a lot of features.

So last night I went back to the nandroid backup from over the weekend and am now back to my beloved Skyraider Zeus *SMH*

All this having been said, I have two questions....

First... does anyone have an idea of what could be causing the issue with the battery icon turning red?

Second... can anyone recommend a ROM similar to Skyraider Zeus that can handle my excessive use (email, web, SMS & voice), that supports wireless tether and (if possible) allows me to take screenshots (preferably from the power button like Skyraider)? Oh, and the fewer steps to flash, the better LOL!

Thanks in advance to those who reply!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] antoniodz95:
It means the phone can't read the battery information (charge level, temperature, etc)... I would first try pulling out the battery and checking the contacts on the battery and the phone. If they are bent or messed up, return the phone to stock and take it back to Verizon for a replacement.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JavaBratt:
Thanks for the reply, antoniodz95!

I had a number of people suggest it was a battery issue, but cleaning the contacts didn't solve it, so I just got a new battery. But even with the new battery it still happens. I've had days where it barely happens at all, and then I have days where it will stay red almost all day. So I'm thinking it isn't a battery issue at all, but instead is something with the device itself. Which is why I tried a new ROM over the weekend, but again the issue persisted. :(

Also, I purchased the device outright from someone, so taking it into Verizon isn't an option. That is why I am hoping someone will know how I can fix it since it doesn't appear to be the battery or the ROM causing it :eek:

Thanks again!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Card83:
Your problem definitely sounds like a hardware issue. It could be as simple as a lose connection on the back side of the battery contacts inside your phone. If it isn't negatively affecting the phone's actual battery life and you don't want to crack open the case, you may just have to accept it's imperfection.

As for Rom suggestions... In all honesty, if SkyRader works for you, stick with it. It really is one of the most complete, thorough, and fully functionl GB-basd Sense Roms available for the phone. You could give UKB Evolution a try. But being ICS-based will lend to some "quirks" that may or may not dissuade you from using it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
My wife's phone has the same issue and it is stock unrooted. If memory serves me correctly doesn't skyraider have the option to hide the battery from the status bar? If so just hide it so you don't see it and maybe get a battery widget. The widget may not work either. My wife's phone works fine so it doesn't appear to affect it. And I agree with the above statement that skyraider is hard to beat. As far as gingerbread sense it is my go to rom. I always keep it on my phone in case my phone acts up and I need something dependable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] JavaBratt:
Thanks for the reply, Card83!

It's hard to say if it's having a negative affect or not. My battery has drained like crazy since day one, but I don't know if it's a normal amount of battery drain or not, nor do I know what causes it. I am a heavy user at times, but there are still those days where it seems to drain much quicker than it should in my opinion. All I do know is when compared to my old BlackBerry, this device is as bad and even sometimes worse when it comes to battery drain.

As far as ROM's go, I think I will just stick with Skyraider unless something really catches my eye, especially since the whole process really isn't all that fun for me LOL!

Thanks again!!

Thank you for the reply, NeverSeparate!

I don't honestly know if it can be hid or not to tell you the truth. But it isn't that it bothers me, it just concerns me is all. Especially when I started looking into possible causes and had even the most Android knowledgeable people I know stumped. But it doesn't appear that there is any cut and dry explanation for it, so I guess all I can do is wait hope whatever it is doesn't get worse.

In the meantime I will be sticking with Skyraider. It was nice having a different appearance for the weekend, but it sure wasn't worth all the function that was lost.

Thanks again!!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] NeverSeparate:
Its probably hardware but you might try clearing battery stats in recovery. That will probably not do anything but it won't hurt. For full functionality if you want something different try cm7 or the gb miui.

We have 2 DI2 - one has been running SR Zeus continuously (95% of the time) for 15+ months with no issues, with light usage & minimal mobile data/3G - get 3 days+ of standby as it's mostly on voice calls. Mine has been flashed with variety of Roms sourced from XDA, been running lately on HTCI2-MROM based on CM7, battery life is a notch better or equal to SK Zeus - otherwise, it runs on the following Stock Sense Rom, which has nice tweaks - very similiar and as good as Zeus, if not better. It has given me good battery / standby time - average of 2 to 3 days, 25 to 30 hours if I'm really pushing it (tethering, GPS, video streaming, etc.)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1219471

What Recovery are you using - as others suggested, it could be hardware issues (loose connection/dropped or even (*gasp*) water-damaged pre-owned device that you are now holding, especially with a brand new/fresh battery & HTC's OEM batteries are very good, my old HTC Ozone running Windows 6 is still holding a great charge with its original battery after 4 years.

I would suggest letting the battery drain and fully charge it, go into Recovery & wipe battery stats and use it normally - let it run and stablize for 2 or 3 cycles with the new battery, and see how it go. Keep the "old" battery charged as a spare and carry it with you for the next few days so that you won't be holding a paperweight.

Assumed you are on the CDMA/Verizon side and not using GSM bands - are you using mostly WiFi or 3G, or a mix of both signals - as all of these do affect (depending on signal strength) your battery life, and that your PRL (*228 option 2) are updated on a regular basis. Running background Apps such as FB, Twitter, etc. also do affect how much usable time you get on a charge, as you know.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
I have a non-rooted Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3113 that was factory reset, so I'm trying to dump the data partition sector-by-sector to microSD to try to recover data.

Since there is no way to mount the internal memory as a hard drive through USB, it makes the most sense to use an aftermarket recovery which can read the sectors and write them to an image file on the microSD.

But I don't know if CWM or TWRP can do this. Obviously they can back up to microSD, but I've never heard of someone having issues with the 4gb file size limit of FAT32. That means the backups are always smaller than the full size of the internal memory!! Somehow they have a way of distinguishing used space from empty space, but the empty space is exactly what I need to copy in order to recover files.

Which brings me to the next issue-- the size of the partition images. TWRP apparently supports exFAT so that shouldn't be a problem. CWM seems to require some hacks. So does anybody know how to force TWRP to backup ALL sectors of a partition to microSD?

Edit: The DD command would also work but I don't know if it's enabled when you ADB in to a Galaxy in TWRP. I can't just try it because I lost the USB cable.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
You can use Android Terminal Emulator on the phone and use the dd command providing you have Busybox installed.

Posted from my Fascinate using XDA Premium
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
The problem is that requires rooting and downloading/installing a big app, which will overwrite a bunch of data... Right? Unless you can keep the files confined to the system partition I guess.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
Just found out that TWRP can split up the backup so it can even use a FAT32 microSD. Pretty cool.

I just wish I could find out if it backs up the "empty" sectors. I emailed Team Win and they didn't reply.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
I imagine that you could write a CWM zip that would copy the terminal emulator apk to the /system partition, but if I were you I would just shell out for a stock USB cord to use with ADB shell. You can find them online cheaply, and if you plan on doing any sort of rooting/customizing, you'll need one.

Posted from my Fascinate using XDA Premium
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
Oh I ordered a cord. I just meant I couldn't try it right away.

I tried some ADB shell stuff before I lost the cord and I couldn't even get it to list partitions. They really lock it down I guess. As I understand, you do have ADB access from TWRP, but I don't know if all the commands work or if you have root access.

Edit: It turns out TWRP backs up the boot and system partition as IMG files using the DD command, but all the others are backed up as simple zip files. I guess they decided no one would want to get a raw image of the data partition. Seems strange because extracting files from raw sectors is a common method of recovering files from camera memory cards etc, so why not a tablet/phone?

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
Try the adb root command.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
That would give root access while you're connected to the Recovery with ADB shell? Just type "root"?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
So long as the device is actually rooted... Oh. Darn. I just remembered that the stock ROM has a bug that stops this from working. There's a kernel (flashed with ODIN) that fixes this for p5xxx, but it's not for 3xxx tabs. Maybe that's because they don't have the bug, though. Try it and see, but it may or may not work.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
Well it's not rooted to begin with.

I'd be happy to root IF I can root without writing anything to the data partition. So far that seems to be impossible.

What Android version are you using? I might be able to modify the standard root zip to use the /system partition exclusively.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
Wow, that's possible? I think that would be useful for a lot of people trying to recover data.

Oh and what about the cache partition? Does the camera app store pictures temporarily there? If so that would be another source to try to recover pics from. Or do apps ever store docs there? Or is it not worth trying to preserve?

I was planning to use CF Auto Root but I asked Chainfire about it and he said that it can format the data partition if it becomes unreadable, so I didn't want to risk it.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winkosmosis:
Well I guess this is all moot because I can't even figure out how to flash TWRP for the P3113. I downloaded an the .img file, Odin recognizes my device, and I got it into Download Mode, but I don't know how to set up the img as a tar.md5. You would think whoever made that .img would have provided instructions on flashing it, or just uploaded it as a tar.md5 since that's what you need. That's something that really annoys me about the Android community-- folks assume everybody knows what they're doing.

But the worst is all the threads where people ask how to flash TWRP to a Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 with Odin, and the replies are all "Just use CWM".

I found a download for the TWRP 2.2 for some Galaxy phone but I can't even examine the format of the tar.md5 because the freaking download site requires registration. Even if I duplicated the format, no idea if it would work. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=30694404
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MultipleMonomials:
I think all you need to do is rename the file to "recovery. img" and use 7-zip to put it inside a tar archive, then flash the tar with ODIN.

Hello everyone :o.

I'm pretty set on getting this device, unless the S4 comes out with something amazing or a design that looks better. I've had the S3 and currently use a Note 2 but I am so sick of the plastic unmodern feeling and the laggy TouchWiz that is only good to use for the first week.

I'm selling my Note 2 today.. but sadly the HTC One is not out :S. Meaning I'll probably be waiting a couple weeks with either a cracked S3 or an HTC Evo :S.

I was wondering if you guys think it is worth it? I know the S4 is being announced in two weeks but really I don't know what their "killer" feature will be.

Hardest part for me is having a crappy phone until the HTC One or S4 come out,lol.

It is more than worth it, i sold my note 2 around a month ago and have been using a BB 8320 and now a 5800 until the One comes out, I was set to get the Xperia Z until I played with the One and it was superior so now I have a 18 day wait but I know its going to be worth it

[One (M7) General] xXxG0dzRAgexXx:
The only reason i am not considering the S4 is because its gonna be the usual plastic body that Samsung always have if they follow what they have done in the past with all there other phones, and knowing Samsung they wont be going with an aluminum body. Also I think TouchWiz isn't too attractive looking and S Voice is a joke. Even if Samsung actually includes an aluminum build on the S4, I'm getting the One. Its just way too good to pass up.

I too have a gs3 and going tô ignore s4 for 3 reasons: plastic,touchwiz and sound.
[One (M7) General] MrPhilo:
I don't think the leak design of the Galaxy S4 will be final, just like last year. There was a few Galaxy S3 prototype floating around.

But the Galaxy S4 should be similar to the HTC One in terms of performance, just a higher clocked CPU & GPU which the developer here should be able to fix ;)!

The display will be same if the rumour are true, SoLux = Super LCD 3, just 5" vs 4.7". But material wise the HTC One should be better.
