questions & ramblings

so, I've been running stock jb on My SGS3 on Videotron (SGH-T999V) since My baseband is higher than those of tmo roms and I haven't wanted to lose some features of premium suite (like page buddy) and native tethering (altho I don't have multi-window) ... and a recent look at CM 10.1 M3 was disappointing

question

: since this is a d2tmo rom, shouldn't the tmobile T999 (and canadian variant T999V) be listed in the official supported devices in the OP ? ;)

question

: does this rom have call recording? so far I have been able to get the Record button thru various mods but it seems that the code/app behind it is missing or disabled in the north american variants.

info

: for those experiencing issues with Google services and such, I have found that most are based on how the installation was done ... here is My experience in happy results:

nandroid backup!

factory reset (3x if using CWM recovery, which was part of why I switched to TWRP)

wipe cache & dalvik (3x if using CWM)

install rom

wipe cache & dalvik AGAIN (3x if using CWM)

reboot

answer rom startup questions, but do NOT enter wifi passwords NOR activate gmail account (answer Skip, if able)

put phone down and walk away for at least 5 minutes to let it finish

reboot into recovery

wipe cache & dalvik (3x if using CWM)

install gapps

install titanium (if you use it)

wipe cache & dalvik AGAIN (3x if using CWM)

reboot

run titanium.. if it prompts, change your android id back to previous id.. important since apps authenticate by the id from time of their install

restore wifi data (xml) in titanium .. your wifi should connect immediately after this

phone settings, add account, activate your gmail account now, then wait 3 minutes for Google services to do its thing

back in titanium ... restore apps (now that your Play store account is known)

smoke cigarette

enjoy :)

yes, I know, you can install gapps at the same time as the rom .. but guess what, since the rom formats the system partition and is not done installing/unpacking completely until after the user answers the startup questions, anything installed after the rom but prior to boot MAY simply not actually be there anymore.. I have seen it many times

if this occurs, then guess what, your gapps wasn't installed.. hence probs with Google services

if you have probs, reinstalling gapps could fix that immediately :)

looking forward to answers to My questions and hopefully finding the time to install this rom soon .. maybe even with build 5 *hint*
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
does app2sd mod work with this rom?

and what are the difference between supernexus and cymod10.1 nightly? any feature that supernexus has over cymod10.1? lack any?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] alexdemonumber3:
Sooooo I was thinking we should all start donating and hopefully farayab will keep us updated and stable. We likely won't get many more official updates, but I'd be more than okay with having stable vanilla android that's up to date. I'm willing to pledge 10 dollars for each version update. If everyone did that, I'm positive he'd prioritize our updates.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] .BetaBoy:
i got 10$ on it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Any news on an update?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] trh1341:
It's completely stock..just like you would see on a galaxy nexus new in box..but rooted of course:)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Soon?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] agonzalez1010:
Awesome and simple. I can now enjoy the Nexus Experience without buying one.. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Can't wait til we get hit with an update. Where the kernel and ROM won't cause weird issues like Sod. In due time I guess, you can't rush genius.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alpha_wolf:
any word on a possible update??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kittehkins:
Just installed this rom, went to file explorer and I still have all my files on EXT SD card but not on my internal storage yet I am still 10gb full out of 12.....?? Anyone else have this issue? Hasn't been a problem with any other rom I've used...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Highly outdated ROM. I recommend flashing something else. The closest you will get to this is Vanilla RootBox.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thecityboy781:
the screen flickers any fix?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Much too old. No fix. Use a different ROM, this is a dead project. I think he stopped developing SuperNexus entirely. Looking for as close as you'll get to plain AOSP, I'd recommend looking at VANIR.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thecityboy781:
Damn, but does it run like this one on 200mb of memory?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
200 MB of memory?

The installer isn't 200 MB big if that's what you're asking. It's slightly less.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thecityboy781:
thats what i meant to say, kinda got confused,
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
I would still suggest trying to make a little bit more room for the ROM if you can.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alpha_wolf:
he still makes the rom idk if he is doing it for this model thats all

he tweeted that when 4.4 if launched he will make a new one but idk about this device..

just thought id share that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
Thanks for the info. I went to his site and couldn't find anything.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Alpha_wolf:
no prob oh and nice work debloating the 4.3 TW rom

Thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AdamOutler:
I am stuck in a chroot environment on my phone. I need to make a call to the activity manager. What does the Activity Manager need in order to execute the following?

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.browser/.BrowserActivity

I don't really understand how the Activity Manager launches apps. I'm obviously missing a critical something or other.. The question is what am I missing and how can I communicate between the chroot and the non-chroot?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nizammoidu:
I dnt think you can have a direct communication between those two. That is the reason it called chroot JAIL. if you need very badly try ssh/telnet/ raw socket from chroot to the host
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AdamOutler:
Great idea! Thanks! Reading this gave me another idea of using the phones UART device at /dev/ttySAC2 which is already set up as such.

I have a razr m. It came with stock JB. I safestrapped it. I later had an issue so i tried to fastboot it using DROID_RAZR_M_Utility1.10. It worked but then i got an error in fastboot. I tried RSD. I get an error failed flashing process. 1/19 flash partition "gpt_main0.bin" -> PHONE returned FAIL. When using the razr m utility i get "writing 'system'...

U have to decompress first with rsd and then extract happened to me but u r gonna need the fast boot files
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
Yep, if you can't get the utility to work, do through RSD itself. I've used the Utility three times in the last week, and have had no problems. Not sure why you're having issues.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamismo:
i found a solution - my fastboot was outdated. This created a requirement for the windows version of the Razr M utility. RSD never worked for me
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirccchar:
hi, can you tell me how you fixed this problem, im getting the error in rsd and when i use matt's razr m utility.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamismo:
i cd'ed into the utility folder and ran the utility. If that doesn't work you can try opening the fastboot update file and manually sending the commands through fastboot.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirccchar:
I'm when you say cd'ed, u mean open the windowsutility.bat using a cmd prompt? i did that and im still geting preflash verication failure at the end of the process and the same gpt_main0.bin error on the phone.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netizenmt:
From what I understand, you can edit the XML file inside the zip file and remove the line with got_main0.bin. Save it and it should install. No guarantees, that's just what I read.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirccchar:
i did that and it still gets the failure and same result, it reboots and i see the red M and it just goes black. a lil bit more info, I was getting fail on the maintance update, so i tried rebloated my phone, and it was still failing, so i did a restore using twrp from a backup, but the camera was force closing, so i did a system wipe using twrp and now i think i'm bricked. safe strap shows up but is disabled and gets no input. anyone can help?
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mamismo:
Try manually flashing everything based on the files in the XML file and see where you get an error. Use the fastboot flash and erase commands based on lines in the XML file

What OS are you using on your computer to run the utility? Are you using the Motorola charging/usb cable? Have you tried a different USB port on your computer? Is your battery charged.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrob1015:
i tried on 2 different computers and battery was fully charged

one comp running windows 7 one running windows vista
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirccchar:
I also tried it on a couple of PCs, with different cables, changing the xml, everything i could find to do. are we dead in the water? does this phone have a year warranty? the safe strap screen is still coming out, will that make the phone out of warranty?

maybe your download file is corrupted ，try download it again , the toolbox should work under cmd mode, it's better than RSD

way.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troncrawdaddy:
hey guys. just wanted to come here to say that i had previously soft-bricked my 907, and using RSDlite in conjunction with the pertinent files from matt's utility (seems to need to be 1.20 ; 1.10 absolutely did not work) got my handset working again in like 10 minutes. additional details available on request, but essentially it was a matter of having the phone turned on in AP fastboot mode, plugged into a USB port, at roughly 90% power, and clicking "start" in RSD lite 6.14. JB 4.1.2 stock (i used the fb files from matt's 1.20 file, haven't really investigated whether or not this is a crucial detail). i was dealing with a totally useless phone during the moments leading up to this process having worked.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonahly:
That sucks XP
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boobaboobler:
Hey.

I'm extremely new to this. So you didn't use the utility at all? You used RSD Lite to flash the files from the utility folder onto your phone?

Yes, I know I'm a noob by the definitions set forth by the XDA community/admins.

Yes, I googled and saw some threads on the keyboard shortcuts available for Android 4.0+ platform.

No, I couldn't reply to those threads because 1) I am "new" and 2) those threads are practically old now.

So, putting my "noob" status aside, I have this question to ask:

Does anyone know if Google intends to implement a better physical keyboard system into ICS? I'm really annoyed at how poorly implemented the keyboard shortcuts are set up for the OS. I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around how Gingerbread 2.3 implemented up to 26 shortcuts on the HTC EVO Shift 4G, 37 shortcuts for the Samsung Galaxy, yet ICS only has like, what, 10, maybe 15 shortcuts, and within apps a lot of shortcuts that worked in earlier releases of Google OS's suddenly don't work in ICS?

I intend on finding the necessary .PL file in my Android directory to edit and add in shortcuts of my own, but just wanted to know if anyone within the XDA community knows if Google will implement better physical keyboard shortcuts for the OS. Thanks!

[HTC One X] {< r o N o $:
If you are rooted and are using a custom ROM. Then you can enable a NAVbar. IN that you can put upto 7 shortcuts. More long press shortcuts. And then enable nav ring. Meaning if u pull up from nav bar then a ring comes up and you can enable more shortcuts here.

Many ROMS enable this, like Icecoldjelly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thadd Valeika:
I was wondering when the Samsung Galaxy SIV comes out. I looked it up and I get several different answers from different sites and Idk if any of them are right or wrong.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Durch:
Looking to be sometime this spring.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Thadd Valeika:
Alright thank you! Its really annoying getting all these different release dates because you never know which ones to trust considering they are all rumored.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
At&t is doing preorders starting April 16th with no confirmed release date. T-Mobile says May 1st is the release date for them. And Sprint has said nothing although I think it past through the FCC today which means around the May I would think. A regional manager from a Sprint corporate store told me July but I've rarely come across anyone that works at any carrier that usually knows what they are talking about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RealTic:
early may --> early june. I'm going to wait for the hype to die down before I get mine. I'll probably wait a month or two after it comes out so they can get all the bugs/hardware flaws worked out. Side by side, the S3 and S4 probably will have no visual differences in speed. Unless you are using your phone to run high end games/apps....I dont see the point of buying the s4. 4 processors are nice...but under normal circumstances your phone never really uses more than two cores for basic use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] scott_0:
Sprint is saying the HTC One is dropping on April 19, so Id say Samsung will try to get as close to that date as possible
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jazz995756:

The second quarter just started and ends June 30th. Also that's if everything goes exactly to plan, no delays and what not. I'm thinking May though, it could easily be June.

[HTC Droid DNA] iampaul:
I lost 4g a few days ago but now have 3g. I flashed many different roms and still can't get 4g back. I downloaded an app to try to fix it (4g toggle). It made 4g reappear but can't do anything on it. I believe it's a rom that did that. I played around with the sense rom 5 roms that were available. It could be one of those that did it. Not sure. I flashed and unflashed many kernels but still nothing. Can anyone point me in the right direction to fix? Also, it's not the sim card because 4g appears in the Galaxy Nexus as my backup. Thank you.
[HTC Droid DNA] dragonstalker:
You may need to flash RUU. I have had this issue before while testing different roms. Once on the ruu, you should get 4G back.
[HTC Droid DNA] iampaul:
I tried that but no luck. I'm going to see if I can get a new sim card just to see if by some mystery this works. I can't see how it works on a Nexus with 4g but not the device. That sounds like something weird.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
This happened to me on my old phone and I called verizon and asked them to do a dmu reset and then it came back.

Try that and hopefully it may work otherwise get a new sim card.
[HTC Droid DNA] dragonstalker:
Remember that HSDPA is not 4G but a very accelerated 3G data network. That may be why your Nexus show's HSDPA but your DNA will not register 4G. LTE is 700 while HSDPA is a more broader spectrum. Are you using a TMO Sim or a Verizon Sim?
[HTC Droid DNA] iampaul:
I'm using a Verizon Sim. I will call them first and have them do a DMU reset for me. If that doesn't work then I'll get a new sim card. Thank for all your help folks. I'll let you all know which one worked.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Make sure you aren't setting you preferred network with the 4G toggle to LTE only. It would need to be LTE/CDMA or LTE+cdma+evdo
[HTC Droid DNA] iampaul:
I replaced the sim and it worked. Thank you guess for all the help.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:

Thx. Ever since tests 4.2.2 based rom mic not working ... I'll wait for the fix this bug
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squ89r97:
That's because 4.2.2 changes the whole file system/framework and it's not stable yet, i think you'd be waiting a long time for a Fix. I'd suggest flashing stock rom through odin and then do the rooting process again, then flash whichever rom you want but only go up to 4.1.X.

[LG Nitro HD] Youngbloodx:
Ive had this phone for about a week and it came with software version bell 20e on ICS. My WiFi worked but was only able to get gsm data speed.(below 3g). I tried flashing many ROMs but my WiFi wouldn't work on any of them (only on the ICS Rom the phone came with). Then I tried 2 unbrick method to try and flash a new baseband/firmware (not sure which is which)... the first one gave me the original Korean ROM with all the Korean apps(I believe it was 18f kdz). The second one gave me the att ROM (10f kdz). The Korean one gave me WiFi and data but I could not root (tries superoneclick a million times and also tried manual cmd method). The att one gave no WiFi and I haven't tried the data.

My main goal is to be rooted so I can flash cm 10 or 10.1 with at least 3g data and WiFi. I actually really like this phone but all these road bumps are making me want to settle with my old phone optimus 2x. Can anyone help me please? The phone came from China I believe. My carrier is fido in Canada.
