Fail....

I love know it alls like yourself :victory:

Ive lived in Turkey for nearly 12 years, and trust me, I would trade in my note 10.1, i9100, ps3, 360, psp vita, and hell, even my htc one (if I get it...) for the people, place, lifestyle and weather in a heart beat. And I love my gadgets.

Trust me, the grass is not always greener on the other side ;) We all have a budget to work to...

You only appreciate what youve got when you loose it, and ive been without tech b4.

Although, I have not been to Adana..sureley cant be that bad :rolleyes:

Confusing title.

You have to first purchase a new Galaxy S III, Note II or S III mini, then trade in your old Galaxy S2 for a discount on a few selected products.

Best for me seems to be the Galaxy Tab 2 7" which is available for nothing when you send Samsung your old Galaxy S2.
[Galaxy S II General] snowblind2142:
Yeah, that confused me at first. At no point do they ask if you have purchases one ;)

I've just bought a note 10.1, I know its not listed... Lol but that was going to be my argument if it came up.

Just got my envelope yesterday, :( sending her off tomorrow.

Have to say, she's felt awfully slow on the last few ROMs (namley Rootbox & pa)

I keep telling my self its for the best.
[Motorola Droid 3] ovar:
Hi all,

Just got a Droid3 for my work phone. I'm rooted and I've installed RomManager but after installing CWM I am not able to reboot into recovery. Further research indicates I need a bootstrap application. Does anyone have one they could post a link to? All the links I am finding are dead.

THanks
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
yes you need bootstrap if you want to use ROM manager

most just use safestrap and skip ROM manager
[Motorola Droid 3] ovar:
Wow, safestrap is slick. Thanks for the tip on that.

The virtual rom slots are new to me. How is the performance when running a rom from one?

Thanks again!
[Motorola Droid 3] regular_:
Performance is really great, no noticable performance reduction. Go for it :laugh: :good:
[Motorola Droid 3] sd_shadow:
right, any loss in performance, is minimal

the multiple slots makes trying a new rom very easy

just note, cm10.1 and newer AOKP roms must be on slot 1

and hash should be releasing roms with the new kernel, any day now
[Motorola Droid 3] Endoroid:
I'm afraid I disagree. Safestrap mounts .img files as loop devices, which, as I understand and based on my own experience, is slower than mounting an actually disk partition. I was previously running minimoto on Safestrap and while I found it faster than anything else out there, I find it even faster when is flashed to the actual system partition. I have some bootstraps on my computer of you are still interested OP

I have just installed the patched version of PPC2003 on my xda, i have seen the new programs installed etc... but it seems for me that is just another ROM and not PPC 2003 since PPC 2003 should look pretty much like windows XP and start buttom should go back to the bottom of the screen and be green etc.....

what do you think

:?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?: :?:
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Kamil:
I'm quite sure it is PPC2003PE. But it is the developers edition and not the release version. Meaning there might be some bugs not fixed yet and some other things missing. But just check the connection manager and you'll know we're talking about the new OS here :)

It's 2003 all right. I'll give you one thing that is worth

it on it's own--true always on gprs. It goes dormant when a call comes in, then reconnects seamlessly in the background. It's really what we have been looking for. I have been using it for a few days, and it is really an improvement. Now, if someone could explain how I add certificates to the device, I would be happy camper. :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mianbarray:
Hi there,

I got the latest version of adb and have installed the latest pc driver for Galaxy Nexus from samsung's website under device SCHI515

But "adb devices" is still not showing the device. I can see the device listed in My Computer. I have gone thru "Computer/Manage/update the device driver" routine as well

and yes, I have searched thru the forums and none of the suggestions have helped me

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
You need the adb drivers from the SDK.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mianbarray:
I looked into that as well. Apparently I am supposed to have a google directory in the "adb/sdk/extras" but there isn't one. There is only an "android" directory.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Which version of the SDK are you running? The 32 or 64.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slimb9:
do you have usb debugging turned on? sometimes an easy thing to skip over
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jt.one:
1) get the "universal_naked_driver" from the GNEX forums

2) the fastboot/adb folder is

sdk/platform-tools

; rename the playform-tools folder into Android and move to the root of your C: drive

3) ???

4) profit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
You need to launch the SDK manager and select the drivers from the list of things to download. After they download, they will be in that directory you listed.

Note: you need java installed in order to launch the sdk manager.

[Hardware Hacking General] atminside:
Guys, I've looked around some, but can't find the information I need for this project. I've come into posession of a friend's Nexus 7 8GB that's cracked, as I have two projects in mind for it. The first is making my own external battery pack with the battery from the tablet.

I know the battery is rated for 3.7V at 4325mAh. A standard USB input is powered with 4.5-5.5V. I'm somewhat electrically knowledgeable, but I'm stumped on how to make sure I don't fry my phone or my Nexus 7 by plugging this battery into the USB port. My other dilemma is charging the battery back up, I'm assuming that this will take a small circuit to do.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Austin
[Hardware Hacking General] DMRtech:
Hey Austin,

tell us exactly how you would like this battery to be used-

1. do you want to recharge battery over the USB port?

2. for what exactly you want to use the battery? For some other device? or for Nexus 7? Be more specific please.

I would generally advise if you want to do cool thing like

"external battery that can be hooked to device on-the-go as a mobile range extender"

you want to do this?

in this line of thinking we take note of;

-Voltage of battery nominal

-Voltage of the charging sources (110V,220V,USB +5V /4.5-5.5V/ )

+now when you are sure of this here you go

-at the bare minimum;

- resistors to lower the voltage in/reduce charging current (yes,minimalistic circuit),with a method to check/determine when battery is nearly full 99% cap as per li-ion battery requirement.Take note lithium ion batteries are absolutely forbidden to be overloaded or else kaboom!, self destruct, fire etc./take a look at youtube "li-ion self destruct"

-dig the li-ion charge reqs and methods from the available knowledge sources (e.g. the internet,electronic forums)

Are you up to this project?Wanna companion for this?Just let me know..
[Hardware Hacking General] jhlaird:
You need 3 things to use a raw battery as a USB source:

- a boost converter, to convert the battery's approximately 3.7V to a stable 5V

- a battery charger

- a protection circuit

The protection circuit is very important. If you over-discharge or over-charge a Li-ion battery, you can run into (explosive) trouble.

The battery may have a circuit on board. Can you see any circuitry in the cell? How many wires come out of it?

For example, eBay has plenty of random parts that should do the job:

Protection unit

Charger

Boost converter
[Hardware Hacking General] snoopen:
You'll want to be really careful if the battery doesn't have on-board protection circuity. Lithium based batteries tend to explode or catch fire if they're improperly charged. Heck, you even hear about it happening to batteries in phones while they're in peoples pockets. Though I would assume some are from dodgy third party batteries.

You might be able to use something like the LiPo Rider Pro which is a premade board for charging Lithium Polymer batteries. It has two USB ports, one for charging and one for supplying power.

If you've never designed a power supply PCB before then I recommend using a ready made device like that, otherwise you could end up getting burned, literally.
[Hardware Hacking General] TheBootloader:
A few years ago I just used one of those big 6V batteries and put a USB connector on it. Worked without any problems! :)
[Hardware Hacking General] kettir:
This is of interest to me. I have a Zerolemon 7000mah battery and I'd like to use it as a recharging power pack for my i747 Gs3. With the newer high capacity batteries, this seems like a natural to me--if I'm out somewhere and don't want to put the Zerolemon in my Gs3, just hook it up to recharge. Is the lack of this kind of accessory due to varying battery types? I'd buy something like this if I could find one.
[Hardware Hacking General] DMRtech:
How to make it:

Steps:

1. Learn or know battery and charger technology - especially concerning heat and fire safety. You do not want your house or car burn down "just because you hacked together a little interesting project". Take full consideration of all the sides of it. Experience..

2. Do it.

3. Share it here.

4. Evolve the design together with electronic-savy guys here.

Thats that.

Aside of the notes above - it is an interesting stuff if you have time for it.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m00gle:
Hi,

I don't try to flood, just to increase my chance to have any help ;)

I want to build a custom module for my GTi9300. Since the module need to be compiled whith the same kernel on the phone, i tried to build and flash a kernel from source (aka zImage). Since fastboot is not available on GS3, I just want an alternative tech to boot my gs3 with my built zImage.

I build the source from stock kernel samsung opensource database (update 8) and receive the zImage file.

I made a backup with cwm and unpack the boot.img with a perl script, then repack a new boot.img with my zImage as kernel and the ramdick from unpack but cannot boot with new package.

Could someone maybe give me a kernel source and the right corresponding package to boot it. Or maybe just a good way to make the whole process.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Moreover if someone can help me directly about the module, he's very welcome.

Without having the same kernel on the phone, I already tried to insmod my module. I've got first some version error, with the module_layout. Even if I correct it the module still doesn't load. In the kernel source, I modify the Subversion in the kernel to match with the one on the phone. But the compilation result add a "-gc33f1bc-dirty" to the end. Maybe I miss something to do before the compilation

I see:

Ok, so after playing around for a bit here's what worked for me (I only did the contacts since I wanted the "Send to Voicemail" option that AOSP offers).

I take no responsibility for your fat fingers or my mental illnesses which may have made me miss a few steps

DO NOT FLASH the zip in recovery!!!! You must extract the files!!!

must be rooted

These instructions are specifically for Macksrom, but I imagine with a little research one could get this to work on other ROMs..

back up your stuff - nandroid

using a root explorer (I use ES file explorer) navigate to /system/app/

rename: (done by long pressing on the file and scrolling down to rename)

contacts.apk -> contacts.apk.old

contactsprovider.apk -> contactsprovider.apk.old

seccontactsprovider.apk -> seccontactsprovider.apk.old

(this is a fail safe - if you have to, just rename the .apk.old back to .apk)

extract the zip file I attached (for some reason there's t- take the three files and push them to /system/app/

after they are in that directory, then for each file you must change permissions (long press file, scroll down to properties - click change)

rw

r

r

reboot - profit

you may have to bring from your app drawer the contacts (which is called "People") to your dock or wherever you want it to be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nikonx:
These directions are incomplete or innacurate because the 3 files you say to remain don't all exist in stock touch wiz... I gave it a shot anyways and ended up with no cellular service. Restoring to backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
I apologize - I failed to state that I was running Macksrom. I edited my post for other people, but I'm glad u made a backup.

What files do u have in system/app/ that relate in any form to "contacts"?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamice4u:
Install the AOSP touch wiz Rom. Problem solved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] nikonx:
I love useless answers like that!!!!! :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jamice4u:
The people who worked on the The NoTouchWizAOSPMOD already did all the work and they put all of AOSP stock apps into the Rom. You could PM the guy in the OP and of that Rom thread and maybe he will tell you how he did it. I personally think it is a waste of time and it would be faster if you just flashed his Rom.

At least I gave an answer all you did was troll my response.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] easyrider77:
rather dated thread but I figured I'd chime in.

I do realize this is for the note 2, but I have an epic 4g touch, so I doubt this would work on mine, but I'm curious, I've been looking for a way to get the aosp dialer & contacts on my epic 4g touch, and I have looked for this NoTouchWizAOSPMOD your referring to and can't seem to find anything, would it be possible to provide a link?

Also for my phone I have no contacts.apk or contactsprovider.apk, mine are SecContactsProvider.apk, SecContacts.apk that's the only 2 I see.

There is so much that I would like to know, I am not a programmer although I did dabble with Basic on a ZX81 and I don't really think i could learn a new language at my age, not that i'm old, its just that i'm lazy.

Over the past few days I have been amazed by the developments on this site; new ROMs issued, new(?) software found and I've done my best to keep up but I just find myself losing my way.

I've installed the v1.1 dev rom and am getting on with it fine, its just that it doesn't seem to do things that the o2 version did - i suppose that's the point - but i'm never sure whether its something i've done to mess things up.

I can sit in front of my pc at work and tweak, change, mess up and start all over again and the same at home, but when it comes to the XDA i'm a little lost. I know (or at least think I know) what's going on 'under the hood' but as with pcs i still keep coming back to 'what if, what if.....?

I would like to help in some way. This site has given me confidence to change things - although I don't really understand them - and I'm not sure I could get myself out of trouble - I know where to go for help but that's not the same thing.

So if anyone knows of something that I can do please let me know.

Ah, good old 81: I had one. I'd say it's gotten easier since...

It would help if you were more specific: what did it do before that doesn't do now. I can only think of this 'Action Engine framework' thing, which we found to be superfluous. We have, to our surprise, since discovered there were some people that actually used it. It's big, it's installed in RAM, and it can do sneaky things behind your back. We didn't like it.

You're purposely being vague here, right? :)

not purposely vague, just feeling my age, its the end of term at college and despite being student free for 6 weeks, i will have plenty to keep me occupied, i'd like to get to grips with.............but that's another story. i'd like to learn more about xda's without trashing mine - i'm still paying for it and i'm a tight-wad.

as to things it doesn't do - wap doesn't, ezos shortcut works but i can't get anywhere. action engine doesn't but it was there and i did use it - however the apparent difference in speed and the difference in space make that no loss.

how, for instance is it possible to remove items that are apparently unremovable? Transcriber for one, i have a copy of Calligrapher that doesn't like transcriber, but can i use calligrapher - no.
