Your best bet is to jump on IRC channel lg-optimus-g and ask those guys to be sure, but I'm almost certain it won't work. Something about different partition tables on E970 and E971.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] tekknogenius:
It seems to not work well together. I can't even get it installed or if it installs then it doesn't open at all. I had it installed for a couple of days then stopped working. Crazy.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] Qman:
It works great for me under WM2003!

Try deleting it then do a fresh install also make sure you're using the latest version?

Note: Prior to reinstall use File Explore to look around in both main memory & storage card to make sure every reference of it has been removed.

HTH
[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] tekknogenius:
That's what I ened up doing...

It turned out that the problem was with my SD card. For some reason it was showing that it was full when there was over 230MB free on it. I had to reformat the disk.

:(

Anyway, all is well now... :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Roni P.:
Im curently running jellybam 6.7 and i was wondering if anybody can give me as much info as possible on what exactly frameworks and dpi are and what exactly they do. Im also wondering about the kernals i kno there are other compatable kernals that could be flashed with jellybam but i honestly know nothing about them or wat it changrs. Im a noob to most of this and im just trying to make sure i completely avaoid bricking my phone. Any help or info would be much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I have more experience with messing with DPIs than I do with kernels, so I'll let someone else answer your question about kernels.

DPI normally stands for Dots per Inch. When it comes to printer, the higher the dpi the smaller the dots and, therefore, the higher "resolution" you get. For Android, though, DPI talks more about the pixel density (I think it's Density Pixel Index, I could be wrong, though). If you really want to get into Android uses this value in their code, the first comment in

this post

does a good job (IMO) of showing where it comes into play. After all that, the basic correlation is this: lowering the DPI will shrink your icons/apps/etc and effect the way certain apps appear on your phone. The stock GS3 setting for DPI is 320.

The reason people (like myself, running 241 dpi) choose lower DPIs is that certain apps (like calendar, Hulu, Netflix, etc.) have better interfaces on tablets than they do on phones, so we want to "force" them to think our GS3 is a tablet. The "official" way of doing this is by modifying the build.prop file. There's a

semi-guide here

that you can follow. The main problem with changing this value is that the Google Play Store looks at it to verify your phone. If the phone type does not match the the DPI value, you won't be able to download any apps! There are various fixes to this, but my preferred choice is just to download and install a modified Play Store which allows multi-DPI.

Here is the thread

for the one that I use (see post #2 for downloads).

Some ROMs also allow you to change the DPI "on the fly" without having to modify the build.prop. I'm currently running LiquidSmooth and in my Settings --> Interface --> LCD Density

looks like this

. It also has steps that you need to take to make your Play Store work. Having the multi-DPI play store that I linked previously will prevent you from havign to do the "clean up" work, but it doesn't hurt to follow the steps.

Now that you know a bit more about that, there are ways to get the advantage of a lower DPI on certain apps without havinn to mess with the build.prop or a Multi-DPI play store. ParanoidAndroid is a ROM that has "per-app DPI settings" built into it. Some other ROMs have the "

Xposed DPI application

," which serves a similar purpose. Per-app DPI systems like these two can "force" any app to see your device at a DPI that is not the current System DPI. For instance, I can have my system DPI as standard (320), but when I run Hulu, it sees my device as 241 DPI, so the layout will be similar to what I would see on my tablet (which I prefer for Hulu). This is nice because if you mess up a setting for an app, you can just revert the changes and clear the app cache and it'll be good to go again.

Hopefully this is a good primer to see the purpose of DPI and how it's used to customize your experience with your phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Let me talk about frameworks and kernels now...

A kernel is the powerhouse of an OS altogether. It is this layer that provides all interfacing with hardware that the OS can then use to implement things like network toggles and such

Everything is defined in the kernel...if something is not defined there, then you cannot use it

This is the reason why building newer roms (from source and not yet supported officially) is difficult because you gotta build the kernel from the ground up. You gotta implement things like Wifi, Power management (voltages, CPU, and proper shutdown and booting up sequences), 4G (if applicable), and 3G

So in summary, the kernel is what provides the software (in this case the Android OS) access to hardware components through this intermediate layer

Now the reason people flash other kernels is because some may manage power better (resulting in better battery life), may implement more features (have more CPU governors or IO schedulers), or provide some extra quality (could be something important like 4G or something as aesthetic as enabling boot animations)

Now frameworks. Each proprietary interface has its own frameworks. AOSP is normally not mentioned when discussing frameworks because it is the "vanilla" or "stock" interface provided by google straight from the original AOSP source that all other proprietary frameworks are built on top of

HTC has its own interface, so does Motorola, Samsung, and LG

HTC's interface is called Sense, Samsungs is called Touchwiz and LG's is called LG UI (very creative, i know :rolleyes: ), and i believe, but I may be mistaken, that Motorals interface is called MotoBlur

And each of these proprietary interfaces is primarily defined in the frameworks-res.apk and SystemUI.apk. It is these additions (addition being used in reference to what Google provides) that give each interface its unique spin on things. This is what causes the weather to animate on an HTC phone as soon as you unlock it, what gives the apps a different icon and more features, what changes the icons for the different things in the status bar, what shows recent apps and quicksettings when you slide down the status bar. In touchwiz its the same thing, different icons and other proprietary features like multiview and a more unique keyboard

Basically, the "frameworks" that you keep hearing about is what defines a proprietary interface. It is

because

of these interfaces that you cannot install proprietary apps or enable proprietary features on AOSP. These things are dependent on the frameworks of their respective interfaces and since AOSP has a different frameworks, then you'll just get FCs and such.

Now I'm not saying its impossible to port proprietary features over to AOSP. It can be done. But its extremely difficult because first you need to track down where exactly these features are defined, and then condense them into either a standalone app, or a series of standalone apps that will behave the same way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Roni P.:
Thanks guys... So now where does the exposed settings come into play? Is it honestly worth messing with or is going to open a whole new world like rooting rooting my phone? Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
I touched upon this in my reply.

So basically, the Xposed DPI application allows you to control the DPI on a per-app basis. You can tell Hulu to use 241 dpi and Netflix to use 190 DPI (or whatever you want), even if you have your phone's "default" to be the standard 320 DPI.

In terms of functionality, it'll affect different apps in different ways. A lot of the time, apps won't change at all. Some will stop working, so you'll just have to revert the settings and clear cache and you'll be good to go. It's really up to you which apps you want to modify. A lot of people don't mess with this stuff for fear of breaking things, but Xposed shouldn't have "lasting" effects.

Back when I was using ParanoidAndroid, I had toyed with the idea with creating a Thread in the General forum about which apps look best with modified DPIs. I eventually gave up the idea (was a huge effort while I was creating screenshots of each app before and after), but it might be good to start one up now that XPosed is being included in a lot more ROMs. Meh, maybe once I have a bit of free time.

Ok so i have a samsug galaxy note att and i bricked it. the screen wont come on no boot image or vibration i tried new charged battery nothing. it wont go into recovery or download mode however when attempting to do so the LED camera light flashes sparatically.... Odd ive never read or heard of that happening. my question is is there a solution to fixing this or should i send the phone in to samsung to have it replaced for i still have insurance on it. Unfortunately i cannot recall what ROM i was flashing to it because i am a flashoholic. Any information or advice is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berties123:
Since stock firmware has old collection of google apps, and updating means it doesn't over write the system apps, it justs creates another copy- would it be possible to wipe the collection of stock google apps, then flash over a new updated collection of google apps? I have

gapps-gb-20110828-signed, but with 2011 date that seems pretty old. Isn't there a 2012/2013 build?

Also my phone has LK1 firmware, would this be useful to you guys?
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:
simply update the app you want to, and then integrate the update into rom with the help of link2sd or titanium backup
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berties123:
cheers will give updating system app a go. It's worked for play store, but for maps and youtube when I action, integate... it says system full. Even though I still have 70MB free.

I guess uninstall updates, delete maps & youtube manually in es file explorer and re-download again? It was only play store that is handy having it integrated, since that is an essential app to download other google apps.

got it working. rebooted, then let kies update firmware, rebooted again, then integrated maps and yotube
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berties123:
seems to work, however since doing linksd update system app, google service has stopped responding. No way of having a clean ROM with very latest google play store? The one I've seen has a older build, and other google apps. So it'll update it anyway.

one work around is moving play services and play store to user app. Delete any play services/play store in system. Now it won't create another copy, it'll use the user one. Of course if you do a reset it'll lose those files, but since it's easy to restore or recovery not a big deal (and saving 20 MB)

I searched the dev thread but not finding anything with keywords.

The phone will just reboot, go thru the animation screens, and seems to act normally afterwards.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] trsix:
?

Assuming u just installed it? Did u do a factory reset when u wiped? If not wipe it a few times.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Digitalneo:
Yea, did all that. So it should have been a clean install.

Think a titanium backup and fresh factory reset -> install would help?

I'm wondering if going s-off would help, but I can never get it to work.

Have u tried the face palm method? Pretty simple and they'll help u in their chat. Is definitely much easier to flash roms not having toworry about kernels etc

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwpil:
Searched but not found a similar problem that has a solution. I ran my battery dead by mistake and now all it does is restart after a few seconds on semaphore logo if unplugged, or keep looping buffering circle/battery charge symbol when plugged in. 3BC takes it to download mode but it again restarts after a few seconds...no way near enough to flash anything. Any Ideas?

I was running latest makay rom (2.8.0) and Semaphore 2,9,15s......this seems pretty fatal to me but if someone knows better ill be a very happy man.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
Keep it plugged in for a few hours and see if this fixes it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruisas:
I have quite the same issue with my SGS i9000. Im running on slim bean 4.1.2 i think and semaphore (quessing the same as above)

So the battery got drained to zero. I charged the battery to full capacity while my phone was turned off. It did this okay and charged battery to 100%. Then i booted my phone only to find out it to start looping in boot. (Start screen to semaphore and then restarts.)

i removed the battery for about an hour, and rebooted the phone but it didn't help at all.

Can't get into recovery (vol up + home + power), though it did go into download mode.

As i plugged my phone in in to charger it shows as the battery would be empty,but it doesn't begin to charge it.

Ill be happy to answer if i forgot to mention something important according this matter.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snapper.fishes:
If you can go into download mode but not recovery mode, there is only one thing that you can do - flash an odin rom.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ruisas:
ill try that.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwpil:
Tried keeping it plugged in for a few hours but with no joy, odin still recognises the device for the tiny bit of time that the phone it stays on, seen a few comments suggesting it's a battery problem. Have ordered a new one and will see what happens then. The old one was made in Sept 2010 and rarely been turned off since,so i guess its probably to be expected. Will post back when i get the new battery for other peoples future reference.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] banid0:
Hello

I have a Samsung Galaxy S exactly with this problem.

It has cyanogen mod installed.

When i try to turn it on, it shows the default Samsung logo, and then the cyanogen mod screen, it blinks, and displays the cyanogen mod again. After that it reboots and returns do displaying the Samsung logo. ... Inifinite loop!

When i try to plug it in to charge, it shows the battery logo, and a "waiting" or "starting" to charge, blinks, reboots, starts recharging, another loop.

Both loops only stops by removing the battery.

Exactly as this thread describes.

Also, i cannot enter recovery mode: volume up + home + power, but it can enter download mode: volume down + home + power.

Is there any way of getting it to boot other than deleting everything on the phone, as i assume reflashing it would do?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwpil:
I also can't enter recovery, doesn't have time to boot that far. If it is like mine then you will be unable to stay in download mode for long enough to flash anything...if you can get to download and it not reboot again, you have some hope. You could possibly flash a different kernel via odin, semaphore possibly, and see if that helps, but if not you would have to flash back to stock and re-root etc (data will be lost). I will report back when i get a new battery and see if that is the issue (Friday Hopefully), I feel it might be battery issue because my ROM had been running perfectly for days and it started when i let battery completely discharge.

I've been using Handcent for almost three years. Still happy with it.

At the time, the default app didn't have custom ringtones. Dunno if they ever fixed that.

Also, I despise the "talk balloon" theme. Dunno why, but it grates on my nerves, bad. Again, Handcent gives me control over that. I set it up back then and it has carried over through a phone upgrade and a recent cracked screen replacement.

Handcent was top dog when I installed it. Haven't seen any need to switch away since. It Just Works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
SMS Pop-up is a separate app, available on Google Play. It works well, but make sure you disable notifications in the stock app to avoid duplicate alerts. I've also used Handcent in the past - it's feature rich, but too bloated for me. Right now I'm using the stock messaging app in the LiquidSmooth rom. It has built in pop-up.
