[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Wilford Brimley:
OK thank you guys, using Odin did manage to get CWM recovery pushed into the phone.

The current problem is that wiping cache/dalvik is not fixing the boot looping.

I tried wiping battery stats, fixing permissions, wiping cache/dalvik, etc. and while it does cause the phone to sit on the "SAMSUNG" opening for about 2 mins, it still bootloops after that.

now, because I want to try and somehow preserve the old stock system (she has a lot of settings and programs that she needs to get access to) I can't just wipe everything and start over fresh.

Now, again, I am a newbie, but if I'm not mistaken, can I do a nandbackup onto the external SD card and this will allow me to just wipe to original stock, get it fully working again, then do an ADVANCED RESTORE of only the /system to get it back to the way it was before?

Again thanks for the help (and putting up with newbies) :3
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
If you go back to stock and then advanced restore system you will probably be right back where you are now. Do another backup before trying that.

P.S. Make sure you have a way to keep track of the backups. Write it down or something.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 6mg:
ok i don't mess with sdk stuff at all, but what is a ****** rig way to have a java movie or something actually move and play on a android device.

1. like a mobile website with flash? swf don't work on mobile

2. A youtube video will suck

3. just a java or video like thing that is 300x800 to look good on a phone.

4. maybe a loading screen. or a fake fun android app to show gps tracking.

My question is, what can I use to make this. where can I see a sample. This will be hosted on a mobile website. some how.

I havent had the sgs3 for too long I am currently running the latest jb mr1-build 5. I tried Jamisons march 15 build and it is just as good. I do love being on the bleeding edge of things but right now I need my phone to be stable and I cant keep switching roms and stuff. So I ask you what is the most stable AOKP rom for this phone in your opinion. I figured I woulf start with JB milestone 1. I would rather not go to ics unless it is dramatically better. I know that The ICS version of AOKP had alot more features for the sgs2 but I think that since this device has JB from the factory offically it should be just as stable. And I am not saying mr1 build 5 is not stable but it keeps freezing and having random reboots and the phone part keeps freezing. Other things I can handle but right now I need my phone for business and cant have it messin with me.

Thanks for your opinions
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] niteh@wk:
I'm running Jamison's Mar15 build with ktoonsez KT747 kernel. It's solid for me. No issues so far. Have you tried his LTS build, which is stable build that he put out for those not wanting to flash the nightlies?

Anything from Jamison is going to be stable. I'm running his 3/18 ROM and haven't had any problems.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mojorisin7178:
Thanks for youyr opinions. I was using the latest builds but I kept haveing some issues with the phone dialer part. Nothing really major. Usually I am the guy who is up all night waiting for the latest to come out. But at the moment I need no issues so that is what I am looking for. I found it with AOKP JB milestone 1. It is 4.1 so it reflects what stock is. I find that once a phone gets an update to say 4.1 from 4.0 the AOSP roms get more stable. I dont know if it is true or if it makes sence to anyone it is just something I noticed. So far I havent had any issues with AOKP JB milestone 1. As soon as I can I will go back to the nightlies and 4.2 but for now its 4.1 for me. Again thanks for the input I never really do anything without asking this community. Amazing how much I have come to trust a bunch of people I never met before but I do.

official build 5. build 6 freezes and drains battery -__-
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SportingChap:
Weird that you're getting freezes and resets using JB-MR1 Build 5. I've been using it for about a month with no problems at all. Solid as a rock. Build 6, as has been said, is kind of flaky. Although to be fair, it is a known issue for our phone.

This is my first experience with AOKP. I had been running stock (rooted) since I got the phone 6 months ago, and I probably wouldn't have moved off of it except I got caught in a freeze/reboot loop and had to do a factory reset. On my Nexus One, I was a big CM 7 fan. But with all the reported issues with CM 10.1 on the GS3, I decided not to even try it.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] michael_sabry:
how can I change the boot image in the XDA????????????
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Mike757bq:
changing bootimage

Using mkrom you can put an image into the "cfg" directory called bootimage.bmp. That image should have the next properties:

- 16 bit

- 240 x 320 pixels

and the next options (only avaliables in Photoshop 7):

-R5-G6-B5

-Flip row order

I remenber the last 2 options appear as an option for saving the image.

As you use Flip row order you should Flip vertial the image in Photoshop in order to have a top to botton image.

Then make the rom with mkrom, and that's it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattj7:
Hi all! I have my Nexus 4 unlocked, rooted, and running cyanogenmod 10.1, with TWRP as my recovery image.

I recently stumbled upon this custom kernel

https://plus.google.com/107979589566958860409/posts/9VtBVHP67Hg

It helps with the saturation problems with the Nexus 4, and I highly recommend it. I am, however, really trying to squeeze as much battery life as possible out of this device, and I am very interested in flashing the franco kernel, but I don't want to loose my improved screen colors. Is there any way to get the combined features of the franco kernel and this saturation kernel? Also I have heard about the faux kernel that lets you mess with the screen settings (gamma, etc) yourself, and apparently that one lets you overclock, though I'm not interested in overclocking. The franco kernel undervolts your processor, and it makes your processor only use 2 cores on the home screen, which apparently saves alot of battery life and that, to me, makes alot of sense.

Anyway, I was wondering if there was some way I could flash both of these kernels, or combine their features, or maybe there is a kernel with both of these benefits?

Thanks!

P.S. My friend got a nexus 4 and I compared my screen to his, and mine definitely looked significantly better.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatacid:

kernel risks

Hey Guys, thought I would ask a question related to kernels in this thread rather than start a new thread.

I'm not sure why I'm worried about flashing a kernel but I am. Probably because my phone is so new.

My question.......In reality, flashing a kernel probably presents the same risk as flashing a new rom, correct? I've just read some harrowing threads and do not want to even come close to bricking my device.

Thanks for any input!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattj7:
In order to flash a kernel, put it on your device, reboot into recovery, wipe your dalvik cache and your cache. Then install the zip and reboot. I did this for the saturation kernel, and just now for the franco kernel ad it worked out great. I don't know what might cause people's devices to brick, but in theory that shoudnt happen.

For the record I installed the franco kernel and bought the franco app. So far it seems good.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ieatacid:
I've been flashing ROMs, kernels, etc, for 3 years and have yet to brick a device [knock on wood]. Just take your time and be sure of what you're doing and you should be fine.
[General Questions and Answers] Lanceinbc:
I used to develop VB apps in VB.6 and made a couple custom apps that I'd love to get running on my brand new, nearly virgin Surface RT.

I am really liking the Surface RT, and can't understand what some people have against it.

That being said, I'd love to try programming on VB for my new toy. Is anyone able to guide me through how to set this up? I got Visual Studio 2012, I've jailbroken and updated my tablet. I'm excited to begin but I am such a newbie to this "new generation" programming that I am unsure how to start and what I can get working.

Will my old VB app just run on RT? what do I need to do to convert it?

I just wanted to ask the devs whether it's possible to make the Arc support a USB cam as it's main or secondary cam.

Can you guys make that happen?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Most likely no, as USB cams do require quite a lot of power and using it via USB OTG would be dangerous for the phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohammed.laqany:

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SammiSaysHello:
Well, like what someguyfromhell just said, yes it will take a lot of power
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martirio3000:
still it is dangerous. It would be really time consuming and maybe no results would come out.

Thats why i guess. Also i have never seen such a mod for any phone.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohammed.laqany:
The idea itself is applicable using a custom kernel if you can adjust the input to be from the usb cam if it is connected.

Well here is a new one for me. This have never happen before on any phone so any thoughts or help is great full.

I traded my s3 for this note from my mom it's to big for her hand we swapped everything is working and all of a sudden my text and phone calls won't work only data. Come to find out after calling sprint my msn and msid reset back to her numbers. I flashed a rom or 2 and it happened again it's easy fix I wrote the numbers down but still what is up with this phone. Anyone ever heard of something like this..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
What you'll need to do is find an old phone and activate it on your line deactivating the note, then ##786# > reset the note to master reset it and clear the efs/NV data, wait a few hours and then reactivate the note. You need to let it sit deactivated for a few hours to let it's info fully clear the system while your other phone is active. That way any remnants of her info tied to the imei that's left behind can clear. I had this issue once before when I ESN swapped 2 lines on my account and they got confused from the switch happening so quickly without time for one to fully activate(it can take as long as 2 hours for everything to get situated on the network side)

I don't have the answer to your question but I thought I would share my experience with the update to 4.1.2 I received a few months back. I also noticed a faster battery drain.
