According to the Singapore-based HardwareZone, after recently swapping out an HTC One review unit, it was noted that the camera firmware had been updated from the previous handset they had been testing, and luckily, had already taken sample pictures with. HardwareZone was able to compare images taken with the first One running the older firmware, with their newer model, and the results speak for themselves.

HTC says that the final versions of the units that will be released to consumers will contain the updated firmware.

My favorite rom so far is [ROM]AllianceROM_JB XXLSZ_v3_|_Evolution_of_TW_Custom_ROMs_| DPI switch online. But its only supported on gt-n7000 galaxy note. I have a att galaxy note i717. Is there a way that someone can port this rom to i717 phone.

I'm curious to how this alliance rom can support stock touchwiz apps like s note and s memo and Samsung apps on a aokp rom? I not sure if the rom is aokp, aosp, cm rom. I just know it looks like a galaxy nexus rom. So how do these stock apps run on a galaxy nexus looking rom?

Are there any roms that can support touchwiz stock apps on a jb galaxy nexus looking rom for i717? I just simply want my phone to look like jb nexus (with the cool notifications) but support smemo, s note, Samsung apps, etc on my i717.

Thanks! Really appreciated, I've been waiting for a rom like this.
[General Questions and Answers] Pennycake:
If you just care about looks, why not just use a launcher like Apex or Nova ? If you want more after that, consider a ROM.

I don't know anything about the ROM you're talking about but from what I can see it appears to be a TW-based ROM - thus the stock apps will work.

I'm using a TW-based ROM on my S3 and stock apps can work along with other native TW features. But if all you care about is the look you would probably need a launcher, anyway - so I'd start with that and then see what you want to change from there.
[General Questions and Answers] M-Ego:
Thanks alto. I want a little more than just the look. I want the toggles and contacts in the notification center, custom toggles and lock screen, pretty much the jelly bean features. I like the contacts, message, and phone layout on the nexus. I see that aosp, cm, and aokp have that layout. You know any good roms that have what I'm describing but still support s-note, s memo, and Samsung apps? Thanks in advance!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bergaliden:
Hey all,

Yesterday I was about to flash a new ROM on my wifes Xperia S. She had an old ICS rom and I decided to go for the PAC MAN JB 4.2.2 ROM. Seemed ok.

I own a SGS2 myself so I consider myself a total noob when it comes to the Sony.

I know CWM works on on the XS and I am pretty sure I installed it when I romed it last time. Although I didn't remember how to enter CWM mode so I installed it again through that .bat file that comes with it.

I downloaded the ROM and the GAPPS and copied both to the phone. And now I thought I was set and went for it. Of course I did a Nandroid backup before and also from within the phone a full backup in Backup & Restore. Bootloader is unlocked by the way.

So now I boot into CWM and I do a full wipe/factory reset. I clear the cache and dalvik and also I format the system as he guides us to do in his installation video.

I then installed the rom or at least tried. Got the status 7 together with some error I can't remember.

I read then that people had issues downloading the rom with google chrome which sounds pretty far fetched but I decided to do what other did and downloaded the rom from firefox.

Then within CWM I thought to start the USB and copy it directly in CWM since I already had reset the phone and didn't want to go through the "new phone" routine. But the USB in CWM didn't work so I had to restart the phone.

It then got stuck on the initial SONY logo screen and I'm stuck there now.

I have installed the Flash tool from SONY coz I read in another thread that the only way out is to install stock rom. However when I connect the phone holding volume down windows 8 always say that the USB device is not recognized. I have of course rebooted the PC after.

I'm going to try this on my Windows 7 PC as well later after work but I dread I will be stuck there as well.

Can anyone shed some light on how I can get my wifes Xperia S to be recognized by her Windows 8 laptop? Or have I bricked her phone?

I have thought many times that I bricked my SGS2 but always came out on top, I don't want to lose this battle either. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Speka-3-:
if it says "Unknown Devices" when you plug the phone to the computer, try change an USB line or change a computer

if it says "Unable to install the driver" or another something like this when you plug the phone to the computer, try install the Flashtool driver

...any screenshots?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bergaliden:
Windows 8 gives a balloon tip saying exactly "USB Device not recognized". And I did install the Flashtool to get the driver but I guess I still miss the correct driver here.

I will do some more troubleshooting after work. I just thought maybe someone had similar problem and had a quick and easy solution. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gripa98:
It also happend to me, just turn it off and flash stock firmware with flashtool (select all under wipe)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bergaliden:
The issue is not actually the "stuck on SONY logo". The issue is that the computer wont recognize the phone when I connect through USB.

What did you use to get the correct driver?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bergaliden:
Ok I actually managed to get it connected on my Windows 7 PC.

I installed Emma (Flashtool) and it installed something but I'm not sure really what happened to be honest. Light on the phone was green and it installed 4.0.4 ICS.

It was a success after about 217 seconds but after that the phone didn't do anything. Stayed with green light and when I disconnected it it could not be started at all.

Maybe it doesn't have enough power to start up. It is on 220V charge now so lets see what will happen with it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Gripa98:
I just installed pc companion
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bergaliden:
Good news y'all.

All it needed after using Emma was some juice. Now it is back to it's normal self. And I'm not going to ROM it anymore. Soon JB will be officially out for XS.

Just recently rooted my phone (Samsung Galaxy S3 I747M running on Sasktel Carrier) and i installed the Liquid Smooth custom rom after backing up and i am currently missing many apps including the play store. This is my first time installing a custom rom and everything went well but as i booted my phone up i noticed that in the apps drawer i only have a small amount of apps. Phone works but when i press browser a screen flashes but nothing happens. I cannot wipe cache because i have had a problem with flashing CWM Recovery (i used Rom Manager to flash it and install custom rom), it does not open for me and i always get the stock android recovery. So i was wondering if there is any solution to either flashing CWM Recovery or getting default apps back.

Any help would be very appreciated :)

You gotta flash gapps. Some ROMs don't come with gapps pre installed.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ced321:
ill like to know that too
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
This has been asked before and the answer is still the same

Verizon - CDMA Carrier

TMO - GSM carrier

Two different radio's. You can use an unlocked TMO tab and use it on AT&T (Another GSM carrier).. The Verizon tab shouldn't have a SIM card in it. Unless it is a World tab or LTE. In the LTE case, only the 4G is sim controlled, the 3G is controlled by the CDMA radio.

Verizon:

Frequencies and Data Type	Digital: (CDMA/PCS)/1x, EVDO Rev A, LTE (Band 13 only)

Tmobile

Frequencies and Data Type	GSM: 850/900/1800/1900

So your answer is no.....
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porto35:
delete
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porto35:
I believe you answer is just partially correct. My Verizon Tab has a SIM slot. I currently own a Verizon Iphone 4S, Iphone 5 and Samsung S3. Used to own BB Tour, Storm, Bold, HTC Incredible 2, HTC rezound. After unlock, all of them (they have both CDMA and GSM) can be used with any SIM card. That why Verizon called them Global Phones. I also believe that the Samsung S3 is LTE phone with SIM card slot and I have no problem to use it with my TMO SIM card
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oditius:
My US Cellular S3 had a SIM card too, but USCC is a CDMA phone. The SIM card was for 4G LTE only as USCC is a CDMA carrier. Some of the BB was "World Phones" meaning that they had 2 radio's in them, 1 CDMA when you was in the USA, the other was GSM when you traveled outside the USA but could not be used inside the US unless it was (the GSM part) unlocked. I know there are some other Android "World Phones" I had the Motorola Electrify, I think it's counter part on Sprint had a different name. There was a few more on USCC that was World Phones, They had dual radio's. But the S3 and Note 2 didn't. But I would guess that it could be possible that Verizon's variation could be different. I never looked that close. But if there is a way to unlock it and use it on a GSM network, then do a search, the phone is old enough to have already been unlocked, and a search would turn it up if it was. If your search comes up negative, then you will have your answer.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] porto35:
Thx for your reply. My Verizon Samsung S3 was unlocked by Verizon (by agreement from verizon with FCC) as they did with Iphone 5 (can be considered as factory unlock). Both of them can be used with GSM carrier here but not the Iphone 4S (for abroad use only even it is unlocked by Verizon).

I searched and have not seen any solution for unlock the Samsung Tab I705 in US but there are unlock code for sale for I705 in Europe and in Asia. I checked the I705 specifications but only see LTE 700Mhz, Class 13 (as you stated) in your previous post. Same thing with Verizon Samsung S3 I535 but I can use S3 with TMO sim. That is the reason I want to find out anyway we can unlock I705 (Tab 2) to use with SIM card for GSM carrier. Anybody can help?

I know that the verizon galaxy tab 2 can be unlocked.

PLUS i want it for the LTE anyways and it does work for the t-mobile LTE. problem for me is that i no longer have an account with verizon so they will not give me the unlock code for the tablet so i need another way to unlock it.... can i do this by rooting it and putting a customer ROM or does that no effect that portion of the tablet.

I ask because my friend says that i will have to wait for o2 to release updates for my phone as it will be running an o2 version of the software. He seems to think that this will cause be problems when abroad as i need to be in the UK to receive updates?. If this is the case, can i not just download the updates through o2 on my laptop when abroad? Tbh i just want my phone stock but up to date.

Until now i have not had the new update. Pc companion and the sony website both say that i am up to date, even though i am running .350.

Is this because i have to wait for an o2 release?

You could flash a FW from the country you will be travelling to (if it's available there yet) or you could flash a generic from the country of your choice, NL and DE seem to be the quickest to get updates. The updates in future will come over the internet via PC Companion irrespective of the SIM card you have. Just ring your original provider and ask them to remove the sim lock because you travel a lot.
