Because of scratches on that film?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Does the glass itself have an oleophoboc coating?

To the guys that have removed the shatter films.... Does one side of the phone harbour more prints? Or both the same?

I read somewhere that Sony may have used gorilla glass on the front and dragontail on the back or visa versa?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadlyDazza:
The one on the back of mine isn't diagonal, it's straight flush with the phone, same as the front.

I would suggest anybody with diagonal glass at the back should return it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
I meant dragontail. Auto correct, try it.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ordoron:
Are there pictures of the xperia z (front back) without the logo?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.reyes:
Hi!!

I just wanted to ask if I have to be first root on my note II in order to install CyanogenMod, that's right?

can I install CyanogenMod rom on my note II without being root?

Cheers.

J.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dingokevin:
Yes you need root and a custom recovery
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] froidy:
Check out www.galaxynote2root.com for all the info you need on rooting, flashing and recovery programs :) I have heard this rom can be a little unstable but have not yet tried it. I use WanamLite rom and love it, very close to stock with more benefits and very stable ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJW:
Read the CM10.1 nightly thread, it has instructions.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.reyes:
Hi,

Just wanted to ask if cyanogenmod is stable enough for my Note II. I am looking for a stable rom... the closest one to the stock because I would not like to get a stone as phone...

Is WanamLite working properly?

Regards and thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Webnando:
I tested both roms for same time, both very stable. However my opnion is that if you want a rom very similar to stock what is the fun? Nothing new to play around.

I'm using now Moon v8, a lot of features, good battery and no issue so far.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j.reyes:
Well, sure - I'll have fun installing a rom and all that stuff but I had an iphone and I got tired saving everything before jailbreaking and then install everything.. when a new version was released the cycle again... so I'd like to have a phone with cyanogenmod o whatever mod rom but I don't want to change rom every time... at least I don't want to save my pictures and do a list of apps to download after installing a new rom because last one was unstable.... you know what I mean? I hate Samsung stock.. but works fine.. I think...

Thanks.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] chrisyjwai:
Hi guys,

So for the past week I think I have at least wiped/flashed/Odin'd different ROMs for my new Captivate Glide at least a hundred times. I've finally settled on thegreatergood's LiteROM 0.9.0 and it's working great for me. Not only the one ROM though as I've had to find many workarounds for different things. Flashables/kernels/apks you name it. Although I have no regrets and I'm really proud of how It's like a beast in my pocket, I am quite bothered by one thing which is that the whole thing feels like a big piece of patchwork..

Coming from a HTC Desire Z running CM7 serving me loyally for many years, I miss that officiality (<-- oops, red snakes.. not sure that's a word. Whatever. Shakespeare made his own words too right? :P ) and the stability that CM7 offered.

I'm a humble man, and possibly carry the apologetic traits of a typical Canadian. Instead of whining and/or nagging some senior developer to hurry up on their ICS or JB development I've decided to build my own CM instead.

However some thought, I think the reason why the JB based experimental CM 10.1s for the Captivate Glide have been a difficult task is because it's probably quite a challenge to build something from something that's not currently very well understood, namely the JB. So I thought, why not just build I nice and stable ROM based off of GB and if it does well it could probably officiated as a CM7 port for the Captivate Glide.

I have a feeling that this is a very plausible task. But I have no way to do it alone.. I have zilch experience in development in anything, had to drop out of my C++ course and have been doing nothing but lurking and leeching since I started modding when I was eleven. All I have is a vision. If someone could point me in the right direction or even form a development team with me, I would be very grateful.

And if this goes well, I will have gained some long overdue experience :D

So.. Anyone?

P.S. I guess this goes in this forum too. But my phone gets real angry when I flash certain things onto it. The biggest issue currently is that it will freeze and crash (more specifically the screen will freeze and fade into white lines..) whenever I try to use ClockWorkMod Recovery.. I dunno if the crappy 1500 mAh China battery I got ripped off with is an issue but I'm waiting on an OEM one in the mail..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] phatryan69:
Post in general not development bub...

And were on cm 10. Why fall back?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] chrisyjwai:
I intend to turn it into development thread. But will have a better audience over General?

And maybe see it more like an educational project with a usuable product?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
hey bud im with you ... though I think CM9 would be better as ICS has been released, stable, and has a few more tweaks and features that CM7 didn't ... things like in JB where we have a transparent notification pull down, control over the dpi of certain apps etc.

First thing you should do is readup on the compile cm10 from source thread, get your feet wet there it'll get you all setup with a development system .. Linux is a must so I hope that you're savvy in the *nix shell or things will be antagonistic right off the start ...

I installed the CM9 recently and radio etc didn't work .. Guaranteed there is tonnes of information across all devices on xda-developers and even in general development threads.

Scroll through these forums, find the github links and learn how to setup your own, download the sources for the kernels from the other devs (theres a couple CM10.1s out there).

CM7 .. while I appreciate where you're coming from as i LOVED having CM7 on my Galaxy ACE - everything just worked... battery was great, it looked cool, and it was just off the stock enough to be unique and rub in iPhone users' faces :)

If I had the time I'd take it on with you .. chart your work and links that have helped you as you go along.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
maybe he say that, because the glide have GB and ics officialy and not JB, so, if i understand what he say, maybe a romCM based y that version can be more stable, and less bugs, i was thinking about a CM9 too. But, if i remember correctly, it must create a device tree and a lot of thing, but i am not sure becausea never do a rom.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
CM9 is based on ICS 4.0.4 ...

Check this link, not for our device but it offers some good insight to CM7 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1273718

Another one for CM9 : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20844007

.... maybe I should just build a linux VM and give it a go in my spare time .... we're so starved for developers for our glides even amateur contributions can't hurt .... in the 2nd link the guy said it took him 11 months to learn how to mod for ICS from no experience so ..... depends on how much you want to commit to it ..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] lorddavid:
yes, i know that, and i was thinking that a cm9 (because there is a ics fully working in the glide) can be a good option, but not sure
[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
This doesn't belong here, please, some mod, move this to General. Thanks :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gtmaster303:
Flagged to be moved to general. If this turns into a dev thread, then you can flag to move it to the dev section, but you only post in the dev sections if you actually have a product or are actively working on something.

Your intentions seem great, but never wait for someone else to help you, otherwise it will never get done. No one is going to carry you through learning this.

There's a ton of guides out there on how to build, port, cherry pick CM commits, etc. etc. Go find them and start learning. Ask SPECIFIC questions if you have any.

No one shows up to college on day 1 and says I'd like to learn how to be a doctor, engineer, pharmacist, journalist, etc. There's a lot of steps in between. So go and get started.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] yohan4ws:
That doesn't make any sense.... lots of people show up to college and say that, and then enroll in the courses to do that .. :eek:

[Motorola Photon 4G] MarcquisDale:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Slavestate:
Wasnt sure if this belonged in the Dev section or not so I figured I would leave that to the real devs and ask here.. :D

Now I have a question about which parts of an Odin TAR file are safe to use for the purpose of hellraising an i9100 rom??

LS8 I got lucky and found an already deodexed CWM version but when LSD came out I did this so I could keep my phone as 'stock' as possible.

I know what files are what in the tar file, and obviously I shouldnt flash the modem, bootloaders, pit.. I know the factoryfs is the PDA file, etc, etc..

To flash the stock LSD, I put all the 'safe' parts into Mobile Odin, this included the cache and hidden images. For the kernel, I made sure to flash jeboo's i777 kernel, and I used the good old UCLE5 for the modem. I flashed with Mobile Odin and it basically softbricked. Booted to recovery, restored my nandroid, started over. This time I just used the factoryfs.img, along with jeboo's kernel, and the modem. Just to be safe, I rebooted into recovery right after and reflashed jeboos kernel just to make sure the build.prop and key layout file were intact.. Now it worked and Ive been running fine ever since..

Im just curious though, is there the possibility that I need to actually use either the cache or hidden or one of the other files?? Seeing as how they bootlooped me, I just assumed they were really i9100 specific.. With the changes to the filesystem in JB and the whole new preload folder thing, gotta make sure Im doing it right cause I dont quite get the changes theyve made yet.

I was going to update to the UK version of LSD that came out today but just wanted to double check with the pros first..

All the guides I found with Google just mentioned the basic SBL, PDA, Phone, and CSC image files, but obviously our Samsung firmwares dont come quite like that..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ddominator:
Hi everybody.

I was playing with my i777 and flashed a gallery file (just 1 apk) via CWM. It booted fine but crashed when using the camera and then rebooted. After reboot, it turned off and now I cannot turn it on again.

I tried download mode by removing battery, holding the two volume buttons and connecting to USB. That did nothing. I also tried USB jig which also did nothing. Connecting the phone to AC power source to see if at least the battery charging screen will show up also does nothing.

So the screen remains black with the soft buttons not lighting up. My phone is hard bricked from the looks of it. So my question is will sending this to MobileTechVideos for JTAG have a highly likelihood for unbricking or should I save the $50 and USPS charges and just buy a Nexus 4? I mean if they don't fix it, I will need a new phone anyway, heck I don't even have a spare phone.

Previous ROM was CM 10.1 03062013 nightly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RootTheMachine:
I don't even understand how that could have resulted in a brick...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ddominator:
I don't either but like I mentioned above. It rebooted ok after CWM flash then hung then android rebooted. It crashed then won't respond to jig, USB, power cable.

I failed to mention that I am afraid that this is an EMMC failure and that they might not be able to fix it and I would be wasting $50.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SteveMurphy:
You say you tried Download mode, but made no mention of RECOVERY. If you can get there you're not bricked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ddominator:
Nothing works. Not even the charging screen shows up when you plug it in. No button combo is working.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gireeshtty9:
Try these. 1) Plug in ur charger and hold the power button for bout 15 seconds. If still a no go then

2) Try using USB jig again

3) Go to MTV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] singhsta:
Hmm. What gallery apk are you talking about? Did you get it from xda?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ddominator:
Yeah I got it from XDA, it was supposed to be something to enable PicasaSync.

I already sent it to MTV so I think we can close this thread.

Thanks all.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Peterjcb:
I am pretty much an Android newbie. I purchased my tf300t last year and immediately unlocked it and rooted it. I also installed CWM.

Since then I noticed that Jelly Bean came out but I wasn't able to do an OTA update. I went to the Asus website and downloaded the latest Jelly Bean "TW_epad-10.4.2.18 update" and installed it manually.

The tablet is running fine on Android 4.1.1 right now but the problem is that I lost my root & CWM. Also when I hold the power/Vol down button to see if I can boot to a Cyanogen ROM all I get it a window with RCK-Android-USB-wipe data icons. It won't even boot to the USB icon when I select that option. ( I have android-sdk tools installed and Asus Android USB drivers on my computer's "C" drive).

There is no option other than that to boot to a .zip file like I had before when it was stock.

What did I do and will I ever be able to install a different ROM?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sib64:
I'm really sorry, but have you search a little bit before to post ?

sorry for my crappy grammer lol
[Galaxy S III Accessories] tasteslikechicken:
Check out the Case Mate Phantom. It's a polycarbonate case with a rubber coating. It feels firmer and more durable than the Otterbox Defender. The built-in screen protector works great and doesn't cause any sort of distortion(it also fits tight to the screen unlike the Defender).

Thanks everyone I will prolly get the ballistics sg question bout Max version is the only diff the screen protector?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] LazySmerf:
Not just the screen protector, it also comes with the holster, and all ports are covered with rubber flaps. So to charge, plug in headphones, you have to pull back a little rubber to plug those items in.

the maxx also has a larger corner bumper. they're noticeably more protruded than the sg.

I would like to be able to play Minecraft PE with my wife when we are out visiting family. They don't have a wireless network, and Tmobile's 4g latency is too terrible to try a VPN game. Is there a way for one of us to run an AP on our phones? At least an infrastructure hotspot would work, but neither of ours seems to be able to do it. I'm running a t989 on 4.0.4 Infamous Resurrection and she's got a t989 stock on 4.0.4.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mobiusheron:
RE: Phone as access point

Pretty sure you set either one up as an AP or "portable hotspot". Just look for it in the setup menu near the other data settings for wireless & networks. I'm running jb right now and it's supported; but, if I remember correctly I had it going on Stock ICS first.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] johnqevil:
I'll give it another shot when I get home, but the problem is that my hotspot never shows up in her list. Any insight on that? I know on my Nexus it'll ignore any ad-hoc network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mobiusheron:
What about other devices? Your hot spot shows up in their lists? Want to work backwards; see that your phone is advertising itself; see if other clients can connect; etc. When you know that ap service is working and ready to accept connections, you can begin troubleshooting to see why any particular devices are having trouble connecting.
