[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Hey guys,

I have had some issues with my current ROM. I want to change the ROM. I am looking to switch to OMEGA.

How would I do this, I currently have AROMA rom. Should I do a factory reset the just reboot into recovery mode and install that way? Or will just installing the ROM from zip work? Or if I do a factory reset do I need to root it again with Odin, or will I not need to root it?

Also for wiping the phone should I wipe my SD card? Or no?

Thank you I searched and found half answers for most of this.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
You have to format /system partition and /data partition in order to get a clean ROM, otherwise you may run into some unforeseeable problems.

Don't have to wipe sdcard

Most ROM except stock are pre-rooted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Ok just to double check what your saying.

I should do a wipe using the built in android factory reset.

Then just install the ROM using the recovery boot.

I will not have to use ODIN or any other soft ware. Just factory reset and install rom.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ch0ka:
AW: [Q] Switching ROM and wiping

I'd factory reset in recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, format system and then flash the new ROM from your external sdcard ;)

Please report if that way worked for you :)

But be sure to backup your apps with titanium backup :P

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Not to sound like a noob... but how do i wipe Cache and Dalvik? also what is dalvik?

Thank you, I will do it today hopefully.

Not sure which ROM I want to switch to. Any recommendations? I am thinking OMEGA.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
He's talking about wiping in recovery.

Dalvik, is kinda Java virtual machine on android, it does concerns you...

About ROM, I suggest you try them out all, and then you will find your Mr.Right, or Ms.Right :p
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys3lover:
1.boot into recovery, (make a backup , always be safe)

2.wipe data/factory rest

3.wipe cache partition

4.use volume rockers go into advanced , wipe dalvik cache , go back

5.go into mounts and storage , format/system (BE SURE YOU HAVE A ROM ON YOUR SD CARD), go back

6.Install zip from sd card , Choose zip from sd card , Choose rom and Click yes!

Nobody can tell you which rom is better .. All roms are amazing because of the work put into them :) try them out one by one.. you're not going to lose anything.. :P
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Ok cool. I installed OMEGA and I like that rom. I did a factory reset and wiped the Dalvik cache and cache. Will look around a bit more but so far so good....

however same issue with the phone. But now when the call ends it says process com.android.phone has stopped. Then i hit ok and phone is ok. It doesn't automatically restart then go really slow.

No idea about this, I searched however couldn't find a answer. Lots of phones and versions of android had this issue.

Any ideas would be great guys.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
You need to go into mounts and storage in recovery and format system and data before you flash, as already explained ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Is that different from what I did?

I booted into recovery. Did a factory reset. Wiped Cache and the Dalvik Cache. Then I installed the rom, did I do this wrong?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Factory reset wipe data, but not system, you need to format system and data
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
I just booted into recover did system format and data. However I still have the same issue. After phone call freezes for a second, vibrates then says com.android.phone has stopped working.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galaxys3lover:
Follow exactly what I ve typed in the previous post... exactly that.. and which version of omega have you Downloaded

??

Hit thanks if I've helped :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThePraetor:
why not you backup your current rom first then try to flash a new rom without wipe data. if you not facing any issue on the new rom, then it's ok.

if you facing any issue, you must flash again the new rom with wipe all data. if you not happy with both, then you restore back what you are backup before.:fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Yes I did. I factory reset. wiped cache and dalvik as well as formatting in the advanced options. I currently have Omega 44.2 installed. But I had the iphone app crashing with AROMA 30.1 and 30.4

Is there away to uninstall the phone app and then re install that cleanly?

I did this and still have the phone crashing issue.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Settings/apps/all/phone/wipe app data, likewise do same with contacts, reboot, see if that solves it
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
I clearned the cache, should I clear the whole app? If it uninstalls how do i re install the phone app?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
Lol....I didn't say wipe the cache,I didn't say uninstall it.....I said wipe data
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
There is no white data. only buttons available are force stop and clear data. If I press clear data it says all data will be deleted permanently including all files, settings accounts, databases. I assumed the files were the actual app.

I went to settings. Applciation manager and chose Phone.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
......hit clear data then, do that for phone and contacts storage, the data bases get rebuilt the only thing you will have to set up again is which contacts to display and any ringtone options etc you may have chosen

Hi there! Great thread for at noob like me :o

Thanx!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
Will do. Thank you I will report back in a few min. Hopefully it works, I figured the new rom would fix it but I guess not.

So far it has worked. I got one phone call and it crashed normally. I reset it and made a phone call, this call worked fine. I will post back it it didn't work. The clearing memory seemed to work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morinr:
OK I just got a phone call and got the same message pop up. That android phone has stopped working. So cleaning data was a temp fix. Or maybe just didn't crash that one time.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurboFool:
Just ordered my Nexus 4 yesterday and it shipped today (love Google's "by March 29th" ship date misdirection). I'm pretty excited about finally going Nexus after a long string of skinned Samsungs.

But one thing I'm finding with my Nexus 7 is that while I prefer to be rooted so I have access to things like USB-OTG and Titanium Backup, I'd really like to be able to use apps like Wallet with my phone without being told my device isn't supported and potentially causing issues. And realistically, for day-to-day use, I don't anticipate needing root.

Is there a preferred, easier, smoother, more effective way to handle only turning on root occasionally?

I just installed Voodoo OTA RootKeeper on my 7, and found that it works, but at some point the functionality "goes away," and root returns. Not sure if it's a restart that causes it or what... or maybe that I simply have the SuperSU that NRT put on there in addition to Superuser. Either way, though, I'd like to see how to avoid that with the Nexus 4 from the start.

So what's my best bet for unlocking and rooting my Nexus 4 as soon as it arrives (so I can restore some backups) and then unrooting (or disabling root) until the next time I need it?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tempodan:
Hi there!

I'd purchased a 2012 Chrysler 300, which is advertised as their U-Connect system being able to receive text messages, but according to their website only a select few phones are compatable. The majority of them are the Motorola Droid Razr lines and Bionic. Now, in reading up in message boards about those who had the razr's, it seemed like a nice phone to have, so i sold my old phone and bought a used razr so I could get the text alerts in my car.

Well, as soon as I got the phone, the JB update was available, so without thinking I updated it. Lo and behold, in reading in others who did the update, they lost the ability to receive messages on the car as well. So, the whole reason I got the Razr was wiped with the update.

My question/problem/hope is that one of you brilliant members of the XDA community has a work-around/fix so that the MAP works with JB on these phones so I can enjoy the miracle of having my car trying to vocalize the texts sent to me while driving. Any ideas?

Thanks so very much!!!!!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tempodan:
Bump! Help please!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] tempodan:
One last bump, then I'll assume SOL.

I did contact Motorola, but they didn't know if or when there'd be an update to it (though i'm not entirely convinced they understood the english that I typed....)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
So I have a rooted galaxy s3 sph-l710. I am running PAC man v21.0 and I flashed a kernel and when my phone booted up, it said the phone was not activated and if I try to activate through the phone or online with my IMEI number it doesn't work.

What can I do to get my phone working again? This is very weird. I've had the phone for about 4 months and have flashed many ROMs and kernels and never experienced this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Make a backup, flash a TW rom and activate

You cannot activate on any AOSP rom, thats why you were having issues

As to why this happens, idk, it just happens sometimes when flashing roms
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] davelikestacos:
Thanks for the reply :D

Yeah, I managed to find some time at work to sift through some threads and luckily I had a copy of GOODNESS, which is a TW ROM, on my S3, so I flashed that, activated the phone, then reflashed back to PAC Man. Worked perfectly :D

Easy, since CWM doesn't support RFS file systems just use the Stock Recovery to flash the zip of the Kernel. But, make sure the kernel supports stock or stock-based roms before flashing it as it may damage your device if your not careful

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smair82:
Hi Guys having had Samsungs for a while I am a little out of touch with sense and need some help. I have setup a pattern unlock because I need some security however because of this if I press the power button it shows me the shortcuts for quick unlock and then I have to put my pattern in.

On my old note 2 I could press the power button and it would allow to enter my pattern straight away I don't want to have two screens, I then turned off the lockscreen which means it just comes up with plain black screen and my pattern to unlock - problem solved or so I thought.

That was untill I enabled lock screen controls on poweramp which will now not work unless I have a lockscreen setup but that means two screens to unlock. All I want is to go straight to my pattern and be able to change tracks when locked. It can be done because the TV remote does this can anyone help me please.

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WCM3:
Hey guys,

So i've been using a bluetooth audio receiver in my car for the past couple months. When I was connected with it on my nexus it was perfectly fine. However, when i connect to it with my razr maxx hd sometimes it will just drop connection. If i look at the "Bluetooth" in quick settings, it would have moved to the "Off" position. I have to click "On" and it would go back. Anybody know of the reason?

Thanks,

Thanks.

EDIT: I confirm enter into recovery only at the time since installation. I downloaded the rom but remains stuck on opening update package.

How can I go back to windows and try again from scratch? Or Advise you. I tried to install the RUU from htc official site but the phone does not respond. Because the error perhaps?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smkyle:
to make a short story long, I got the ELTE the day it came out and I have been having problems from the start. The data connection isn't as good as my wife's Optimus G, and it has a really hard time connecting to 4G when it's available. Finally my phone started missing calls completely. They wouldn't drop or anything, I would just have voicemails showing up without any missed calls. I took it in and they are providing me with a new one (dunno if it is new or used). Should I expect anything different this time around? I know that the 4G switching is a known issue, but is it still an issue with newer phone? I believe my hardware version was 0003 on the one I sent in. Are there any other hardware versions?

Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
They are all version 003, as far as I know. Have you updated your firmware?

The advice is free....the bandwidth, not so much
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] smkyle:
Yea. I think it must come down to the hardware. On the S4GRU forums, the ELTE owners almost universally get worse 4G coverage. I was just hoping that they didn't make them all at once and had implemented a fix in the meantime.

i will add what it is an what to do with it after the links .

SIDEKICK 4G files

ADB Files​

https://www.dropbox.com/s/2k0wp2qmd805oq7/ADB_Files.rar

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?a2ytuvc4qandhfi

extract to c:\

you will have to make a folder name it adb

this is to enter reboot recovery and download mode with out a root.

ODIN KD1 Files​

https://www.dropbox.com/s/w2lqhszgxajp564/Odin3+v1.61andsk4g.pit.rar

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?t1gvfrwqq4n1y3d

this needs 2 other files which i dont have anymore but either way i recommend the kg2 files

ODIN KG2​

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uddzc6ss9v31lh8/t839-Sidekick4G-UVKG2-One-Click.jar

this is if you need to restore to stock

just put your phone into download mode either through the phone or adb files above

but this may take a few trys (i did my phone took the whole night to get back to a fresh stock)

Super-One Click to Root Device​

http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?rj08beywov4thc1

this is the main thing you will need to root the device just download unzip in to a new folder and run (make sure device is in debugging mode) settings > application > development > debugging mode

Beginners pack​

http://d-h.st/QxO

This pack has all the stuff you need for beginning sk4g root/cwm also has the kg2 one click odin which may be needed for faulty root(does happen not all the time so if you get an error you may have to odin back to stock then re root)​

i hope anyone who does have any files will upload them here to help others as i dont have every file that may be needed..

Extras:

KJ2 Lockscreens

(if you dont like the update status in the notification center go to settings>display and turn off before flashing this)​

There is aother set of drivers you can download that work with the sidekick I forgot the name should be in a sticky tho (:

Also it might be the computer or cord sometimes the pins in them get damaged so id suggest you try another cord or computer / usb port

If the computer isn't reading the device is plugged in even if everything else is working flawless then its the phone so try turning it off an plugging it in as then none of the systems are running an should charge if so then you may have to odin which is a pain

Thanks I changed the data cable and was able to root. I flashed cwm using Rom manager and it says it's installed but when I put reboot into recovery it takes me here doesn't make sense...
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
You have to stay away from ROM manager, it flashes the wrong recovery and well... You'll be stuck at stock. This phone isn't like too many others, it seems to hide recovery within the ROM you are using, then when you flash a custom ROM you get a recovery embedded in there. I believe if you use one of the one click installers it adds the voodoo (red recovery) to your phone, which is the one you need.

So there are some annoying steps to flash your first ROM, but after you do all is good and you can flash like any other phone. Look in the general section for a sticky called noon guide to root or something, I believe that's what I used to get the red recovery, but I used a different method to root as I'm not a fan of one click anything

If you get stuck post back and someone here will be glad to jump in and help
