Yes mate they are good.

[DEV] AOSP ICS 4.0.4 by MaclawStudio , same as above , made by Maclaw and Marcin

They are all great roms , you should try them all before deciding. Like it was said above , official firmware upgrade for anything above 2.3.6 from Samsung doesn`t exist , you have to resort to roms if you want that.

Sorry if i missed some developer , it wasn`t intentional.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] jkoetsier:
Well, Im using aokp 4.2.2 right now and it is really great. Smooth and fast. Everything works, only small issues

[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cookiepuppy:
hi there, our gio has low ram, how are the ics roms running, are they smooth in your opinion? do i have to try the sd-ram thing, since im new to gio tweaking im still trying to make a decision, coz today im running 2.3.6 and my phone runs pretty great, but i like the ics UI which i have on another phone, what are your opinions about it?

thx

sol
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bogdanwp:
Yes you can try both AOSP ICS roms , really they are very good without any need for overclocking or tweaking , in my opinion. They keep about 170Mb RAM free.
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] cookiepuppy:
well, its not so bad, since now i got about 256Mb ram, but its my wifes phone, ill wait for her to decide :D

i'll check those threads and see, hope they have SS there.

thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrehamdadi:
I asked this question before but didn't really get an answer so here goes

I bought my captivate from my friend(ONLY $26) and found out that the usb charging port doesn't work. Well that was all fine i could charge it with a separate battery charger so i bought this to charger it: http://www.cellphoneshop.net/i9000desktop.html?cagpspn=pla&gclid=CITOp6T2-rUCFaiiPAodEBYA9Q and it works perfect. Then I called At&t and they actually gave me the unlock code!

So my Captivate is:

-Froyo 2.2

-Unlocked on tmobile

-Can't use usb port.(So i cant sideload apps)

Also, i can still transfer files from my phone through i micro sd card reader. I have tried the update.zip but i keeps giving me a signature error.

SO is there a way to root my phone? and Is there a update.zip that works with the froyo 3e recovery? or is there one that can disable the signature verification?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
Everything I've read suggests the only way to get root is with an update.zip and running it in recovery through "reinstall packages". I wonder if the error you're getting is because you aren't using a flashable zip that is compatible with Froyo. Unfortunately I'm far from Froyo and have no way of testing but I could suggest looking around for some other flashable root zips.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
I believe that worked on 2.1 but in 2.2 they added the signature verification, therefor, update.zip doesn't work.

There seems to be another way to root but it's not 100% confirmed yet (through a app in the market). I'll try to look for it but otherwise, you'd need a working usb to root.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
Well if he's on 2.2 I thought that z4root worked? Not on the marketplace anymore but it's all over the net lol.

All I know is for a fact, z4root doesn't work on 2.3.5 and the only reason I could root w/o USB on 2.3.5 was luck hahaha.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Perhaps it will work. Haven't seen it around in so long, kinda forgot about it. Never know :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
Eh, I can't see it making anything worse, then again I've never read the source code so I'm not sure what it changes. 2.3.5 somehow worked with miezu m9 root app but again, never read source so don't know why it works o.O
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrehamdadi:
Thanks for all the help!

I can't use z4root because it's not on the market so i would need to sideload it because At&t doesn't allow non market apps. And to side load i need a working usb port :c

My best chance would be to find a flash able zip that works with the 2.2 signature verification. :/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
There's none that I know of....I didn't realize 2.2 had the non-market apps lock? That sucks. I know 2.3.5 didn't have it, (or at least mine, I had it second hand but I thought he flashed it to stock 2.3.5)...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexrt890:
I have a galaxy note II tmobile version U.S and yes it is rooted. I ran into a bootloop and I was hoping to use the galaxy note 2 toolkit. But the problem is that im using a mac, and i tried downloading windows on it but the problem is that I do not have a disc or drive to start up windows. Is there anyway I may be able to use toolkit on my mac without using windows or something similar
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UtkarshGupta:
Nope.

Factory reset.

Then flash stock rom via heimdall.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alexrt890:
I cant do a factory reset considering that its stuck in a bootloop. So what am I supposed to do.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
Hey guys, long time lurker, first time poster haha!

Well recently I don't know what happened but for some reason my photon (stock rom + root) is not supporting hdmi anymore. Before I could plug it into my appradio or flat screen with a micro hdmi cable and the display would be mirrored. Now, when I plug it in, the screen will rotate horizontally, but that's it, no mirror display, or even a signal on the other displays. I checked the cable by plugging in my tablet and it showed up just fine.

Anyone have any thoughts on a possible fix for this?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So no new app installs? Anything else change on the phone?

Can you do a backup and hard reset, just to rule it out?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
I'm not too sure as to how to do that with this phone. I did the one click root method to get my SU fix. Number one use of hdmi is my main source of entertainment from my appradio
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
So after you rooted it stopped working...?

I'm confused. Please provide more detail.

Either way, I would be curious if a hard reset fixes it.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
I've been rooted for a few months now, just earlier this week I plugged the phone in and nothing happenned. So I tried it on my big screen ans same thing, the screen just rotates horizontally and doesn't send video out. However I plugged in my tablet on both the radio and the head unit with that same hdmi cable and everything showed up clear. Seems strange that this happens all of a sudden. I use a air blower at 50 psi to blow out the port and the plug to see if it was just dirty, but nope.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
What was the result of a hard reset? That would rule out any software issues.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
That's my issue, I don't know how to do a hard reset on the photon :/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
So i figured it out, did a hard reset and nothing. Just noticed now that for some reason my bluetooth headset wont stream the phone call? Wierd.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Well, in TWRP it's really stupid simple...

I assume you don't have TWRP, so I guess FXZ is your only option to hard reset? Maybe there's some way to do it with the stock recovery, but I have no clue how.

Are you sure you hard reset it? The phone was wiped, started fresh like it was day 1 with none of your info on it?

Maybe you should just take the device to your provider's store and see if there is something actually wrong with it... since I can't see the device or what you're doing to it, all I can do is speculate.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
I took it to my local radioshack and they gave me a pamphlet with a number to call :/
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Since when is Radio Shack your provider?

(For example) If you have insurance through Sprint, take it to a Sprint store - which is a repair store - look on their site to find one. Not all stores are repair facilities.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
Well you see.......long story short, I used to be an assistant manager for one back in january, that's when I got my photon q and their insurance for free. I've gone to all the corporate sprint stores and all of them want a $35 down payment since I don't have sprints insurance.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
They offer their own insurance...? I guess it's not very useful tho? That's unfortunate, but I guess that's why it's free....
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
Its $10 a month for customers but for employees we got it free with phone activation
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] J-Jeezy:
Went to the corporate store and they were nice enough to just swap out the device since they had a large inventory of it. Brought it home, did the ota update, unlocked it, and installed twrp recovery and super user. Plus got my hdmi back! I asked about the jb 4.2 update and the rep just said he hadn't heard of anything......so now I'm just looking around for a good stable rom
[HTC Butterfly] Cowboy Mike:
Defeats the purpose to have email, sms or chat notice (GREEN Flash) if the phone charging (RED) overrides all notices.

Need to turn off the charging RED/GREEN or make it flash RED and still allow GREEN message notices. Otherwise I have to unlock the phone just to see if I need to check emails.

I use the HTC Butterfly at night as an indicator if I have messages. I live in Asia and my business is in USA.

My tmous s3 keeps trying to download Facebook (build 140579). Play store doesn't even show an update available for Facebook and it's just draining my battery. What is this and how do I stop it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] casper916:
Same here

I've got the same problem. I force close it and it just starts right back up? WTH?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Firstly, this belongs in the Q&A section. Secondly, try to uninstall the app then reinstall through the play store.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bjones72751:
Sorry, if a mod could move it that would be great. I did reinstall it, still tries to download. I can force stop it by force stopping downloads, but as soon as anything else starts downloading it just restarts the attempted download of Facebook too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
That's odd. Try breaking the market link via rom toolbox.

Go into app manager and long press on Facebook to get the option.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] casper916:
Tried that, doesn't work, also uninstalled fb app and any files that were with it and still it says downloading but never finishes?

Solved ! Open download manager and then go to other downloads you should see it here juad send to trash FIXED!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] casper916:
Yep, did the same thing and its fixed, but does anyone know what it was for?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bjones72751:
Ok, so I guess I'm more noob than originally known. How do I get to download manager?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] shchiam1978:
It's an application in your phone.

I have deleted the update but few hours later, the annoying download is back!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] y3sh:
I'm seeing this on my droid RAZR m as well. Its Verizon, I'm wondering if this is carrier specific. Still trying to to figure out how to make it go away. I don't have FB at all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] PAPOTAZ:
Is just an internal fb update.... Facebook 2.3

I saw it earlier and got a lil worry so i looked it up and found this forum!!! so i did what i read... Open download manager and then go to other downloads you should see it here just send it to trash and it fixed it! but then i my sister showed me the same thing and we just waited, finally it downloaded all of it (around 15 MB) and gave her a facebook update screen! saying it was a new version (facebook 2.3) that enables you to mark as spam posts and other stuff!!! :eek: NOW i feel like a dumb@ss for reading about it and erasing it... hope it comes back on the market as a regular update and that some of you read this and just be patient! :fingers-crossed: GOOD LUCK AND IF SOMEBODY HAS A APK VERSION OF IT ALREADY PLS REPOST! THANX

---------- Post added at 03:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:36 PM ----------

I did the same! to sadly find out it was an update... now i dont see a way of getting it back :(
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] aznmode:
This happened to me too and just deleted the download in progress. I then updated the FB app in the play store. I don't know why FB is trying to update the app without going through the play store. I almost did a hard reset too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Truitt.Jack:
Thanks for the fix!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bjones72751:
I'm still not finding a download manager app.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] cruzerkk:
I had the same problem . I yesterday externally installed Swype kepboard and this problem seems to have arised since then. Not sure however if i can directly blame this on the Swype. Anyways, one sure thing is that this download is unlikely to be a genuine facebook update & its more likely to be a spyware of some kind.

This is what i did & it seems to have stopped popping up since then. Hold the Download till u get an "App Info" option. Then click disable instead of Force stop. It has'nt restarted for me since then .
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bhl62:
Browser

From your Browser, open the menu and select Download.

BTW, I also couldn't find a link to Download on my Spectrum but I do have it on my Transformer Prime, so maybe something that LG left out.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jeff.leonard:
The scary thing here is it really is a genuine facebook update; see the links I have included below. They are going around the Play store for this and future updates. Which is scary enough on its own because a smart hacker could mimic this in the near future to inject malware. Also, in my case the update failed and now I can't use the version from the play store or this one.

I have complained to Google play about this because they are violation the developer terms; I also provided "feedback" to Facebook! I would recommend others complain to both also to let them know how their customers feel.

I saw this feature on sons of Android rom and I'm not sure what it does exactly. I would normally just flash and find out but I kind of want to stay with touch wiz right now. I'm just curious what it does, it may help push me over the edge. Thanks for any info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I've never heard of the rom but it might be the CM theme engine. I think it actually came from t mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Of course you haven't heard of it as it is a new ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mikeman45:
So what does it do. Does it allow you to change the theme to your liking. Are there pre determined themes or does it allow you to make it your way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Addiso:
You download an apk that themes your status bar and such

Only on aosp roms tho

You can find plenty by searching them through Google adding xda at the end.

I always go for those red themes tho but rats just my liking :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bobAbooE:
I ran cm on my dx and dinc, if it's like that, you can theme status bar, icons, etc. But I'm not sure if it's the same. Search the market for cm theme to give you an idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oakey66:
I am currently running the Purity 4.4 JB 4.2.1 version of Android on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I have tried several ROMS to no avail. I pair my phone to BT devices with no problem. The phone shows Media Connected in the Bluetooth settings however when I attempt to stream audio to my car or bluetooth speaker, the sound just plays on the phone. I have attempted to use several apps (including Google Music) to attempt to force the sound to the speaker with no luck. I've seen a bunch of issue threads where Bluetooth issues ranging from audio quality being poor to issues with streaming. I haven't found a single response thread that solves the issue. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thank you!

Hello All;

didn't see this q.

is there a command to update moboot after flashing a rom?

i like flashing roms but moboot doesnt. it seems i only have moboot rewritten with cyanogen mods.

should i stick with the acme installer, from the p.c., using the cminstall file method for flashing roms and just add the moboot zip as well?

I recently decided to root my note 2 but now im feeling guilty I started with the miui rom and the layout was nice but I wasnt satistfied I had very sorry wifi coverage and my signal was significant weaker than when I was stock unrooted . What rom do you guys recommend ? Im thinking bout just unrooting. So please shoot me your suggestions thanks folks .
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] G1Master:
Tweaked Rom is the way to go since it would offer All the TW goodness you would need but debloated and has options to customize the rom further with a built in app (Status Bar Mods, Lockscreen Mods, etc....)

Also look up the "Pimp My Rom" thread to read up on their App (Which can be found on the Play Store) but it will offer many tweaks that you can conduct on this rom. (WiFi tweaks, 3g 4g tweaks, etc....)

Tweaked rom is that what its called ? Sorry

have you tried Shadowgun Deadzone? its multiplayer

Modern combat 4 - good story + great multiplayer
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] adamsaur:
I love deadzone, though cannot quite agree with with MC4. They purposely break the game so you have to pay to get the attachments and perks. Which of course is the last thing I want to do with a 7 dollar app. Personally I like dead trigger and deadzone
[Transformer TF300T Themes and Apps] kyokeun1234:
Another recommendation for dead trigger and dead zone. Also if you like halo, you might like nova 3. Played it and I kinda like it.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] murso74:
i ordered a verizon nexus off ebay for a decent price. physically it looked great but the battery life has been pretty bad. overnight i can get it down to 3% an hour discharge just sitting there, but when i actually use it i'm lucky to get an hour and a half screen on time. and that's using an underclocked kernal.

also, it seems that no matter what rom or kernal i use i get a freeze once a day where i have to pull the battery. not an SOD but the screen is on and frozen and the phone is totally unresponsive. stock or custom rom, stock or custom kernal.

did i get hosed with this phone?

PS i ordered a new samsung battery just in case but it didn't help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
We need more information. Sound like user error?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] murso74:
how in the world did you come to that conclusion? and what other information would you like? this isn't even close to my first android phone

ok more info.. LTE off. bluetooth off. wifi off. screen on auto (i know the auto isnt' the best but i need to be able to see the screen when i'm out in the sun) couple of phone calls, couple of texts. checked FB a few times. if i'm using the phone for 5 minutes i can watch the battery go down 2 ticks.

also some times when i wake the phone up it lags like mad until i turn off the screen and turn it back on. raised the minimum CPU speed but it still does it. also the phone does go into deep sleep and doesn't seem to wake itself often
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] murso74:
ok my phone just froze in recovery too. something is not right here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
My guess is main board. My first GNex had little flaws that I thought were just software/New technology problems - NFC tags were often hard to register, reboots at random, power button taking a few tries to activate from time to time, device freezing at odd times. Then one day it just wouldn't turn on. Still under warranty, got it replaced, and now realize how defective it was.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] murso74:
i guess since i'm not the original owner i'm probably out of luck. guess i'll contact the seller and see what happens
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shriom_manerker:
i think i kno whats causing the lag ! i cant really say but battery life ! to get rid of the lag install this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5rb3ZpdC5wLmZvcmV2ZXJnb25lIl0.

let it fill ur sd card and when its about 90% or so done ! stop the filling and do "release free space" then reboot bout 3-4 times ! ur lag should be gone !

it worked for me , cant really say it'll work for u ! but give it a shot :)

edit- DO NOT USE THE PHONE (no sms,calls NOTHING) while this procedure is going on, or else itll freeze and get stuck on bootanimation (at times ) ! and prevent it from going to sleep ! do 10 min for screen timeout in display settings !
