[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] VarshaK.O.:
i have a galaxy SIII that i updated to jelly bean 4.1.2 using a thread from this site : this thread to be exact http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974114

the phone and text messages work great on a T-mobile SIM card ...i switched it to global mode.

the internet works while on WIFI only ....when i go outside no internet .....so i found that my APN setting are not right, but under the menu the APN settings are locked, giving no option for adjustment

so i found an APP that will change the APN setting however it needs root access and come to find out the phone is nbot rooted ....the root technique from the thread above wont work.

any suggestions how i can root and/or unlock my APN setting so i can get internet outside WIFI zone?

Hi all...

Hope Im in the right section...

I have Swiftkey (paid) installed as I prefer it to the default keyboard...about every 2 days out of nowhere the keyboard resets back to the default android keyboard..I'm not rooted, modded etc. (not exactly bored with the UI yet, be modding soon :))

I'm completely stock out of the box.

Happened to anyone else? thanks

I followed the directions for rooting my KF 10.2.6 from Patel989's 1/30/2013 post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2125628

It worked fine. Happy day!

Then I loaded TWRP using KFU and powered it off to see how TWRP worked.

It will not power on again.

I assume it's toast, true?

If so, where did I go wrong?

Still learning the hard way,

Why have you used KFU?

This post explains how to get TWRP installed on a Kindle Fire 2.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=36888389

This is from the 2nd to last page on the KFU post.

If it is a 10.x.x version, then you have a Kindle Fire 2nd generation. Do not attempt to use this utility. It will brick. Go to the KF2 forum.

Don't want to be harsh, but the reason people keep bricking their devices, is because they don't read enough before doing something. The creators of these tools could help the situation by adding a model check before the tool runs.
[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] sjargo:
I'm a dumb noob and didn't do enough research, I suppose. I didn't realize it was a KF 2 until today when I asked about the device on the KF forum and was sent to this one. I thought a KF 2 would say it was version 2 somewhere, perhaps on the box, so I assumed it was a plain KF.

In any case, did KFU poison it?

And if so, is there a way to kick start it?

Thanks,

[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
I just bought the phone, model version ST21a (American version, single sim) and succesfully unlocked the bootloader.

I'm about to root it, but since I have version 11.0.A.4.22 I can't root it, so I have to downgrade. Thing is, I only find firmwares for the ST23i (international version) which uses different frequencies:

HSDPA 900 / 2100 - ST21i

HSDPA 850 / 1900 / 2100 - ST21a

In my country we use 850 primarily

What if I flash a firmware from the international version? Will it brick my phone or mess with the baseband/frequencies? Thanks.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
You can root it with unlockroot.

DL here
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
I don't trust that program, making me install ****ty search engines and possibly adware.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
Use the version i gave you, you just need to extract the folder and run it.No setups.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
K thanks...

i just checked their website, and under supported devices the ST23a is listed, but only with firmware 11.0.A.4.16 S:

You sure it works for this model?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
4.22 wasn't even listed, not even sure if it is now yet it rooted succesfully.You can't go wrong.

Also why do you keep mentioning it as a ST23 when that's Miro, and your topic title is ST21?Either way, they are both rootable with this method.And regarding the "adware" on the setup, you could've clicked cancel on the popups and setup would've continued.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
Well then, I guess we will see...

After I root the phone, can I install any version of FXP without problems regardless of the model version or root method?

Sony devices are so complicated... I'm used to iPhone and Samsung :(
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
I'm not sure if american versions will work with FXP, I think that's only for the i version.

Also if you wanted to try FXP in the 1st place, you could've just unlocked BL and flashed kernel and zip.No root required.The recovery is included in the kernel.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
Crap... gonna do a little research on that one then

rooting went ok, at least it seems so... the phone rebooted just fine

any way of checking it?

NVM, saw supersu installed :D
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
look for the supersu app on your phone.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
cmw works just fine, so im going to make a backup and try FXP
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
For future reference:

It works.

Succesfully flashed FXP 209 to my Xperia Tipo ST21a (American model)

i'm going to test it now...

wifi works, no crashes so far

3G seems not to be working, maybe because of what I mentioned earlier...

EDIT: 3G works just fine... so there you go people, flash it, it works!

The phone is a breeze now, loving it.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
First issue:

rebooted into recovery, the led turned violet and the phone died. had to take out the battery

If i turn it on, the violet led dissappears after 1/2 seconds and everything is normal

is this a common issue? maybe with CMW or I just did something wrong (i flashed the rom via CMW, not with fastboot and all that)
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
Kernel problem, happens on the i version too.It's can happen quite a few times after exiting CWM.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] bornlivedie:
the freeze or the thing with the violet led?

i mean, i turn on my phone:

1) tiny vibration

2) violet led for about 3 seconds

3) green led, flash of a screen with a battery

4) cyanogen logo, normal boot

is this normal?
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] Steam.:
That's normal, the battery LED will change according to the battery charge.The freeze, was what I was talking about and is happening on the i version too, so nothing to worry about.

[Droid X General] mstas:
I am a noob to this rooting stuff and have a question. I have an old droid x that I want to use as a wifi only device. I don't care about the phone part as I have upgraded to a GS3. What I want to know is how to use it as a wifi device. I assume I have to root it. But since it isn't activated anymore, I can't figure out how to do it. I have looked at many pages dedicated to rooting this phone, but they all assume you can actually use the phone to set things up (like USB debug mode for example). Any help in the process would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid X General] DaggerDave:
Also, you can use an app called Airplane Mode Wifi. With this app, you can keep the device in airplane mode (which turns off the CDMA radio) while keeping wifi enabled. It can be configured to keep those settings even after rebooting. I use it on a couple of my old devices to prevent the radio from constantly trying to connect and eating up the battery.
[Droid X General] stevediaz:
If u get to skip the activation screen you can removes the program apk and phone apk to keep the phone completely stopped from the activation screen

Issue Solved

The issue revolved around two parts. The #1 culprit was the Paranoid Android rom, as others have said in this thread. Althogh with just the PA rom and PA kernal there was still the cpu thermal issue, causing FPS to dip to 15fps with a maximum of 30fps. PA rom + Franco Kernal helped by fixing the throttling issue but FPS was still at about 30-35 max.

I flashed CleanROM 2.5.5 and kept the stock kernal that it came with. My FPS while playing NFS now stays at a constant 58fps the entire time.

[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] scottypimpin636:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

Ok. I'm on paranoid android so maybe that's the culprit.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] iamikon:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

Ah yeah paranoid is a bit behind for performance. Also I use kt's kernel and I have found changing graphics settings such as forced GPU etc in developer options causes problems with some games so that might be the issue too.

Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

Thank you so so much, the problem is fixed. Turns out it was the PA rom after all. To think i was about to get rid of the tablet too... I'm very happy now :D
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] roloracer:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

It has nothing to do with the rom but with the kernel, I was having issues with it in stock rom, but I've been on PA rom since January and the issue was resolved with Franco kernel. The crappy performance is from thermal throttling which it has been addressed in the custom kernels. Been playing NFS MW smoothly since.

[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] scottypimpin636:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

Ah, good to know. Either way, the rom listed above is loaded with features. I have no interest in returning to PA anytime soon.

Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

In was having terrible issues on cm10 with stock kernel. After installing ktoonez and bumping the CPU to 1900mhz and the GPU to max (600mhz I think) I'm having perfect performance :)
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] EniGmA1987:
That is most definitely one of the problems. While you can have FPS issues, the PA ROM has really bad input lag so the game feels like it is lagging much more than it really is.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] ExjeetzZ:
Setting < Developer Options

Turn on Force 4X MSAA and It should fix any problem you are having with NFS :)
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] EniGmA1987:
Because it makes the game run much slower all the time?
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] Sentinel196:
I'm not trying to advertise, but NFS runs completely lag free in my latest ROM. If you're having troubles, it might be worth giving SentinelROM a try.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] Hyflex:
Stock ROM here and no issues what do ever, works more than fine with no lag.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] ExjeetzZ:
IDK man..

It didn't work out so good for me, It has the same performance as the Clean rom but with more stuff, Which is good but I like the Clean rom which lets me install only the apps i want. But you rom is good aswell :)
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] brees75:
That may work for a couple games but that is not really a "fix" for poor performance. It will actually slow this game down even more and the AA isn't even being applied to most surfaces so it is a complete waste.

One tweak that will net you better performance in both real-time gaming and benchmarks is to reduce vm.min_free_kbytes value in the sysctl.conf file (which is found in system/etc ) It is usually set to vm.min_free_kbytes=32768 or 16384 and this is not really necessary. Change the value to either 8192 or 4096 and it will give you a few extra FPS for FREE. (No loss of graphics quality or any other negative drawbacks) :cool:
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] the_boo:
This is all I have in that file...

vm.dirty_ratio = 90

vm.oom_kill_allocating_task = 0

vm.swappiness = 0

vm.vfs_cache_pressure = 20

I am using pub aokp and ktmanta if that makes a difference
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] ExjeetzZ:
Have you tried it?

I thought the entire tread was about NFS most wanted and it's bad performance, Have you turned on Force 4X MSAA & played NFS MW or is this just speculating?
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] brees75:
Add the line, it is hard coded into the kernel. Use 8192.

Yes I have tried it, it made it even slower and MSAA wasn't even being applied, and I am not just referring to transparency or sprites. I have been doing this for a long time and I can tell you that if MSAA makes something run faster then the game is horribly programmed to begin with. You are the one speculating my friend. ;)
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] ExjeetzZ:
Well..

I have tried Force 4X MSAA and it works, No more freezing or Lagging & As long as the game has good FPS i'm okay with it.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] Fidelator:
Hey guys does any of you know of a way to force higher graphic settings in the game?
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] scottypimpin636:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

I'm not sure you want to force any higher graphics than the default. With the PA rom and Franco kernel I only get 25-30fps, which imo is horrible for gaming.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] iamikon:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

It has been discussed quite a bit in this thread that PA isn't really the best for performance. I have more issues with PA than any other ROM right now I'm on eos4 and its good any aokp pub is probably your best bet for performance especially with games.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] EniGmA1987:
Ya, PA is terrible for this game. Bad frames per second and bad input lag.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] brees75:
I never had an issue with performance on this or any other game. I was just saying that using FSAA is not a fix for improving performance, and if it does it is a bug.

Heck I can play RR3 with Max Graphics mod
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] iamikon:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

I haven't either but I never stuck with PA long enough to have issues which seems like where most are coming from.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] brees75:
The easiest way to improve performance is to undervolt the CPU. Can actually double FPS.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] roloracer:
Re: NFS Most Wanted - Horrible Performance

Have you done this and seen improvement?

RoloRacer on RootBox 4.2.2
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] EniGmA1987:
IDK about doubling FPS, but yes undervolting can significantly increase performance in this game and any other intensive games like it.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] brees75:
If they are getting 10-20 FPS then this can at the very least double their performance. LOL ;)
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] espionage724:
I don't see how undervolting can improve overall game FPS, unless you mean undervolting decreases the throttling amount; which would mean FPS just won't drop either "as" low, or as often (but max FPS should be the same; unless your always throttling for some reason)
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] EniGmA1987:
Yes that is how it works. By allowing the tablet to run better and not hit a thermal throttling point (or much less often) overall FPS is improved because the tablet is not clamping down on the CPU speed, which translates to bad FPS when that happens. Some people (probably those getting 10-20) are actually in an almost constant state of thermal throttle while playing this game after more than a few minutes. You need at least 1GHz speed to maintain mid 20's FPS, going to 1.4GHz gets you into stable 30's. By default thermal throttling will drop you down to as far as 400MHz. Franco's kernel modifies this behavior, although I cant remember off the top of my head exactly how. I think is raises the threshold just slightly and caps how far down the CPU can go, something like either 800MHz or 1GHz minimum. Ktoonsez kernel allows you to fully modify the thermal throttle points as well as set a cap wherever you want on how low the CPU speed can be dropped, default being 1GHz which is a good safe point where you still have enough performance to get by on.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] Fidelator:
I thought the 4.2.2 update changed the throttle CPU frequency to something like 1.2ghz on the stock kernel, I don't remember where I read that though.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] scottypimpin636:
