[Q] Flash Asop and Kernel in TWRP

I am a Rogers client, currently on Rooted Stock Rom 4.1.1, want to flash latest AOKP JB 4.2.2 then latest KT747 JB Kernel. this is first time I am doing it. I read thru a couple posts and youtube video. this is the procedure I think. please correct me if i am wrong, give your comments

since my sd card is not working, I want to put zip files on internal space

1) Make a Nandroid back with TWRP, which I did already, a full back up with System, Data, Root and Cache. I think this should covereverything if the new ROM does work for me

2) Wipe: here,I have a question, Do we just need to 1. do factory backup or 2. wipe system leave Data 3. Wipe system and Data, or 4. Wipe entire internal storage (means i do need sd card to do the job)?? Which way should be the safest, and less problematic in the future?

3) Flash the ROM first

4) Flash the Gapp

5) Flash the Kernel

Also, I see you can have GOO manager do all the procedure for you automaticallly with a couple click. is this recommended?

Many thanks,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
when changing your devices OS from stock to aosp or from one version of android to another, its always best to do a full wipe. in your case, wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik cache (under "advanced") and format /system (mounts and storage). this will give your phone a clean slate to install the rom on to.

then, yes, flash the rom, gapps and the aosp kernel.

How to install gapps?

Hi, I wish I had seen this thread before installing a custom ROM. This was my first time installing a custom ROM. I installed the latest CM 10.1.3 ROM using the ROM Manager app (which does not seem to be the recommended approach, based on the response of this thread's author in another thread) but while installing the ROM I missed to select the Google apps. Now I have the new ROM but with no Google play store app to install the other required apps. How can I install it now? Thanks in advance.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] xBeerdroiDx:
Locate the s3's cm 10.1.3 rom thread and search the OP for the gapps download link. Flash from your custom recovery. Cheers.

I am also having the problem of not seeing the Qualcomm USB options. I am running a freshly updated Stock Rogers Samsung SIII (SGH-i747M). When I do the dialer code (*#7284#) I just get 2 options... MODEM and PDA

If I download the stock one from the sammobile site I assume it will do the same? Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 04:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:27 PM ----------

Well I decided "Why dont I just flash a rooted stock ROM through ODIN". The latest one in the thread was 4.2.1 but figured why not as I will just flash a new ROM anyway... turns out once you are on 4.3 you cant downgrade and now the phone wont boot (goes to "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again."). So no big deal. I grab Kies and then get reading and apparently once on 4.3 you can no longer use Kies as it will brick the phone... ugh!

At this point I'm assuming I download the 4.3 stock image from sammobile and then reflash it? After that how do I get rooted so I can flash other ROMs?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WoodroweBones:
Well hopefully I'm on the right track with what I said above... unfortunately sammobile uses some pretty crappy file hosting so after waiting 5 hours the download failed (grrrr). Will have to try again

You need to find your base firmware/bootloader build. Open Terminal Emulator and enter this:

getprop ro.bootloader

Whatever this returns is the modem you need to flash.

I just update from Stable CM 10.0 to M2 10.1 and I lost a bunch of pictures and videos in my gallery.

If I revert back to 10.0 and pull up the gallery I can again see all of the photos and videos so I know they are on my sdcard someplace.

Any ideas how I can get everything to show on the new M2 build?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Man, Google really made a mess of things when going to 4.2.2. Everyone has this issue at first. If you have a file browser, open it and browse to /data/media/ and keep going through the "0" folders. Your files and pictures will be in one of them. You can move them if you want to /sdcard/. I believe all the android data and stuff like that got moved automatically when updating but I'm not sure.

I think if you updated with the latest version of your recovery, it fixes things too. I'm not 100%. Google complicated things with the multiple user addition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
I went from having practically all 32GB full on CM10 to doing a complete format of the /sdcard for CM10.1. I just transferred the /DCIM, /data, /camera, /music, and every other folder I wanted to keep to my comp before flashing. (And then back to the phone after flashing.) Was able to cut down what I wanted to keep to <10GB. The placebo effect is really strong after doing something like that too lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] tonyrage.stc:
Hello,

I have not found any other questions specifically about this (there was one about CM10). I have CM9 on my i727 on Rogers. There is an app called Rogers Anyplace TV Live which lets me watch live baseball games amongst other programming.

When I try and run the app it says

"Sorry, this service is not supported on this devide.

(samsung_SAMSUNG-SGH-i727)"

Now, I am not an expert at all, but I imagine the fact that my phone is identifying as the i727 and not the i727r due to the installation of CM9 is causing the problem.

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Is there a way to change how the phone identifies itself to apps?

Thanks kindly.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firmament0:
bah...on internet I've read everything about this bug, all people have this issue after the last update I've reported on the previous post. Some people solve with a factory reset (me not), other people with a SD format to (me not...again). And on other GS3, issue dissapears itself after few time (me not, probably I'm unlucky). So I decided to turn off step by step all sensor and to see where I can see a significant result, and the only result I found was the "auto brightness adjust".

Otherwise, the solution could be wait Samsung for a fix, or install root and another rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firmament0:
update: I've restored the auto brightness, the freeze comes back after few minutes. Rooted the GS3 and updated the firmware to last firmware available (I9300XXEMB5), for now seems all ok, I'll inform you in some days if I've other freeze or random reboot ;)

Half-Life on Samsung Galaxy Note 2 N7100 with Stock Rooted 4.1.2 Firmware

Good work, but this barely passes for even mildly playable. Why? 1-10 fps is nothing but a big pile of steaming bs. I mean, why waste time on this crap when you can play better native games.

Also, I think we should all be thankful to the id software, because if they had not released their game engine as free-source, the guy called n0n3m or something like that could have never developed the DIII4A app. Its fantastic, I got a rock steady 25-30 fps without fail. Also, I played Quake 1,2,and 3 along with RTCW(Return to Castle Wolfenstien) with HD enabled 1080p screen size without problems.

As far as HL is concerned, this game cannot be enjoyed at the framerate the DOSbox turbo is giving. Quite frankly,its pathetic and one should not even try to waste time as I did, because the game is a classic and can be only be enjoyed with full audio. Oh, and did I forget to mention the fact that there is no audio in the gameplay?

My Verdict: This project has a rock solid future as just being able to even get to the in-game screen was like drinking the sweet morning dew from the leaf blades of lemon grass, but quite frankly, it has a long way to go to even come under the category of playable.

: TECHNICAL CONCLUSION :

1) PLAYABLE : Yes, goes in game and is playable as long as you dont mind the bs framerate.

2) FRAME RATE : 1 -10 on a QUAD-CORE PROCESSOR WITH QUAD-CORE GPU

3) AUDIO : No

4) GLITCHES : Yes, Multiple, with wierd graphics here and there.

5) WORTH TRYING : Hell yeah, if you are a dev and wanna contribute to make it better, or just a casual tester or a user. Definitely worth a shot.
