soul arhealit

i'm just not very educated in flashing roms and such, but if theres a good guide for a 4.2.2 update i'd be happy to go to that. But id like to keep my applications/data somehow (i have backed them up on samsung kies and i've learned how to make a full backup on clockwork recovery) i'd just rather not re-download all my applications.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
There is no 4.2 update released for this phone yet. What Mr. CJ meant was that there are AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs out. The Android OS is currently on version 4.2.2 but not every smartphone has it officially.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ukno:
ah well, id like to stick to whatever the official update is out right now, for the i535 which appears to be the 4.1.2 jelly bean, is it worth really updating from 4.1.1?

Hi,

I'm thinking moving from AT&T to T-Mobile and was wondering if I can keep my unlocked Skyrocket (Galaxy SII), flash a T-Mobile rom,a modem, change the APN and be good to go.

Will I be able to get 4g?

Thanks for your help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] EQ811977:
I would think being a new customer to T-mobile that you might be able to get the T989 for free....but if not...check out this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1507825

If you're somewhere that tmobile has 1900 MHz service, you should be fine. Why lock in to another contract or payment plan if you don't have to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] BenKranged:
You still have to run a ROM from the skyrocket forum. You can use T-Mo modems or skyrocket modems

I use the T989 on At&t and get better performance with a T-Mo modem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] floppy__:
Going to T-Mobile with their new "non contract" plan will save me $50/month without signing for 2 years, I think it's a really good saving :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 8525Smart:
'Uncarrier' plans, remember? There are no free phones anymore (though there are ones with no down payments, but the SGS2 doesn't qualify). Even the absolute cheapest phones must be fully paid for now as shown on their website.

To the OP, I highly recommend getting a new phone. The i777 is good, but it lacks the 1700 band, so you won't have 3G. Choose whatever phone you like, though, personally, I intend to get the HTC One myself as soon as I can.

So i got my phone's bootloader relock and i flash the stock recovery but i cant access it i dont know why but whatever thats my issue

I wanna go back to stock but i cant run the RUU bcuz i have a Mac

So is there anyway to flash a stock ruu or rom from fastboot or the bootloader i remember doing it in the htc evo once and it worked like a charm

I need your help guys im trying to bring back my phone bcuz the power button is not working properly

So yea thats my issue any help or recommendations are much appreciated thnks
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Herc08:
Doesn't ruu require windows? You try a virtual machine to emulate windows. What exactly are you trying to do? Are you trying to achieve s off?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Are you S-OFF already?

Is this an AT&T one X? you would have had to supercid to root, if you RUU and you are not S-OFF you will brick.

To RUU, you'll need windows be it through a VM or another PC.

You can flash an OTA through stock recovery if you download the zip but if you're superCID that will also brick you.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yankee minaj:
I have S-on Relock hboot 1.09

I guess im gonna ask a friend to let me borough hes windows laptop i think thats the easiest way to go back
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yankee minaj:
And the SuperCid i really dont know about that but i try root checker and i still have root
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
If it's an AT&T phone it definately is SuperCID and will brick if you RUU unless you S-OFF first.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yankee minaj:
So what do you recommend mate do i have to go and do the s-off
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Yep. re-unlock, flash recovery, flash a stock rooted rom, S-OFF, then RUU
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] yankee minaj:
ok so i am S-off and i just run the ruu and thats it? and by the way what kind of Ruu should i run im running JB custom rom

dont ask me why or how i got S-off i just want my phone to be replace

thanks mate :)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Just run any one xl ruu for your carrier. There's a few ruu threads if you click the link to the resource compilation thread in my signature and scroll down to the RUU section.

All of Kemco games are on sale for limited time (except Xperia edition of Knights of Earthends). Check in link below.

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brsingr:
Argh....so many to choose from its hard to decide lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Damn... didn't realize how many of their games I bought... the only ones I don't have are Alphadia, Alphadia 2 and Grinsia which I only avoided because they didn't make them "Xperia Play Optimized".

I'm still trying to hold out so they don't get my money and go on thinking this is okay, but the price is tempting.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
Yeah me too, those are the only three I do not have and have no plans on buying even at 0.99 as they are not XPO. But to be honest I dont mind if I paid full price on them at 3.99 as they are worth it and I want Kemco to continue to support our phone. However I hope as many of you will jump on board and buy their games at 0.99
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
So which ones are your favorites? I am asking because I wanna buy 2 or 3 of them but there are too many and I can't decide :/
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I have several that I really like. My first three I played were:

Aeon Avenger

Eve of the Genesis

Knight of the Earthends

Lately, Symphony of Eternity

Hoenstly I have enjoyed them all, I would say you really cant go wrong. Symphony of the Origin is only partially optimized, it will not show in the Games Launcher and os a mix between touch and gamepad controls, still good game.

I would say start with the following:

Symphony of Eternity ( has a really neat Anime style opening now)

Knight of the Earthends

Eve of the Genesis or Aeon Avenger (Aeon was a tougher final boss, eve....a little weak)

Whichever games you get please let us know your thoughts, I would like to encourage everyone to take a shot on Kemco's games as I really have been getting a ton of entertainment out of them these last 2 years.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] leots:
Ok so I got Symphony of Eternity, Knight of the Earthends and Aeon Avenger...

I have only started playing Symphony of Eternity so far, but I am really enjoying it! It is perfectly optimized for the Xperia Play controls, the story is interesting, and it reminds me of Pokemon on the Gameboy :p The automatic battles are also really nice to have for the easy enemies!

I might even buy some more of these games before the sale ends, they're really good. How did I not know about them before?!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Hey all

lately I noticed that my stock android 4.2.2 (not rooted) has become a bit sluggish sometimes. I like stock android but I feel as if the GNex is really running on the edge now in 2013 if I compare to the newest hi-tek android devices/Iphone 5 etc.

Could flashing a custom rom improve the speed and smoothness ? Also maybe I'd like to try out hybrid mode like you have in PA. I also heard a lot of good stuff about Sorcery, don't really know what would suit me the best.

Do you guys think rooting + flashing a custom rom would still my hunger for a new phone for some time still ?

Hope to have some tips that can move me into the right direction. Nonetheless I still love my GNex but I hate when it lags a bit sometimes..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Yes, it could. A new home launcher also could improve speed and smoothness.

Yeah, I think for sure you will be content with your phone longer if you try different ROMs on it occasionally, or even just recieving new updates to a current ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] paarthdesai:
sure dude why not.. if u root u can overclock and thus increasing your performance, rom selection is self choice related :) try every rom and kernel and stick to the one you love ;)

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
What are the most performance/smoothness based roms ? Or is it more a kernel thing ? Although I don't want to experiment with 1001 settings and kernels on a rom before I get it right. I reckon that a developer puts a stable kernel together with the rom he makes and releases..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Everyone has their own favorites. I personally recommend you try the newest stable CM, or even the M series if you prefer the newest features before the are implemented in to the stable builds.

Stick to the prepackaged kernel so you don't develop issues from using a third party kernel on a ROM it wasn't designed for.

That's my preference, hope you find yours. "Best ROMs" or "smoothest ROMs" threads get closed quick around here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Ok thx, should try out CM then maybe, seems the most logical step too. I consciously didn't use the words "best rom" ;), as that's indeed each one to its own. Though, smoothness is imo an objective thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] freakb18c1:
One of the best things about flashing a custom Rom and Kernel is the Fast Charge support! Pretty much if you just use a standard USB port on your PC it will charge as fast as a wall charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
First question... Have you rebooted in awhile?

Second question... How many background tasks are constantly running.

Custom ROM/Kernel makes sense only if you go for a minimalistic ROM/fine-tuned kernel. Honestly, Stock ROM is fine, unless you need features missing. Or look for just straight optimized ROMs like RasBeanJelly Vanilla and others that are only trying to fix bugs and not add bloat.

Kernel, pick your flavor, but always go with 'stable' ones and not nightlies if you want to avoid issues.

For me, I do Stock ROM (or would consider RasBeanJelly Vanilla) at best, and Franco Kernel (though stock is good enough).

Another point... Key Lime Pie (v. 5.0) will be announced likely in a few weeks at Google I/O 2013. Why deal with unlocking the bootloader, flashing ROMS, and Kernels, then to have to wait for source code to be released to get the newest and latest?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Bootloader was unlocked from the day I got it (to go from yakjuxw to takju). Now I just rooted my phone with custom bootloader, but it's still on stock takju. Do I still get the Google OTA's ? Iirc I need the stock bootloader for this ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] txesin:
Have you tried to wipe data?

You can try this first if you like stock. If you want to try a smooth custom rom I recommend you xylon + ak kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whitedragonz83:
I believe TWRP and CWM will allow you to install OTAs, but you need to have stock kernel and no other system apps that are not apart of Google's stock Android. However, you wouldn't wait anyways for OTAs since you can just flash the updates that appear on XDA once they arrive. Either via fastboot or the custom recovery (if they work).

If you go to a custom ROM, you will not receive OTAs, (or shouldn't if the ROM was built right). You will have to wait for the ROM to be upgraded by the maintainer of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elnitrox:
dude try something new other than stock..

CM 10.1 + ak diamond

governor = ondemand

stable,good speed..

give it a try
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
I can confirm this behaviour on TWRP.

Not sure if by mistake but, (as of the date of this post) there's no custom bootloader for any of the GSM/LTE variants of the Google Galaxy Nexus.

What he's talking about is a custom recovery. (This needed correction so as to not to mislead readers.)

Sent from my Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Good point you're right, sorry should have been more clear.

I'm indeed talking about a custom recovery, not bootloader. Atm I only have lockscreen policy with clock hack and SuperSU/SuperUser apps who use the root. Is this enough to prevent me from having google OTA's ? Still didn't get to flashing another rom lol, I guess I like stock. And it might be between my ears but having rebooted + rooted the phone made it feel snappier again.

Thanks for all the feedback guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Again, if you alter system files the OTA will fail, if it needs to update those.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wtr_dhd:
Well my (noob) question was if above mentioned things such as ClockHack who need SuperSU permission altered my system files?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sarkar1990:
I am using Purity with Leankernel. Gives me a smooth experience and great battery life.

Also it has the PIE and you can use XPosed framework to get Per App DPI with any ROM like I do. ;)

But I have tried almost all the ROMS in the development section except for a couple maybe. I keep returning to Purity, Vanir and Cataclysm most of the time when I have something important come up and I cannt flash a new ROM every other day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najaboy:
The answer should be obvious... yes.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ned_Flanders:
Last week I rooted my Xperia S, unlocked the bootloader, flashed XZXperience 2 and flashed RaymanX kernel.

Everything was working fine, today I formatted the Internal Storage using the Android OS and from CWM Factory reset, wipe cache partition and Dalvik cache. Phone booted ok again.

The problem is I installed something called Google Play cracked installer without thinking too much of what it was, and after formatting the phone my google play looked like a smily face still. From this Google play app I selected to reinstall stock Googleplay and reboot.

Now, the phone rebooted and said optimizing applications 1 of 1, and is constantly stuck on Android is upgrading.. Starting applications.

The battery cannot be removed and I cannot turn the phone off.

What should I do now? Before this I had Fastboot and CWM installed, now stuck in this loop :(

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ned_Flanders:
Found out if you hole Volume up and Power button for 5 seconds it hard resets/turns off.

Did that, turned phone back on and seems to have booted back into the phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MADNJPN:
The thing is that I had that Cracked Play Market too, just wanted to unlock the country restrictions but it didn't work, you could have just deleted the Vending.apk from system/apps and then reinstall the original Play market : ) It worked for me.

Maybe you know but, always try backuping your rom before doing something, I messed up my phone once and after that doing backup everytime when trying something new
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sudd1976:
Dude,

Don't use any cracked apps or installers. They carry viruses and other dodgy push apps which can fill your phone with rubbish and worse case leave it bricked.

Just leave them well alone.

Hey guys,

I'm getting a XDA II (latest o2 UK update) and I will be using it with an Orange sim.

Which rom is the best to have for me?

I saw the new iMate rom was released.

o2 is installed now but I don't need any o2 stuff as I will be using it on Orange.

What do you guys think?

Keep the o2 rom or upgrade to another? (QTek, iMate, etc)

What improvements do you see using the 1.60 ROM ?

I have an M1000 with the original (English Language) 1.52 ROM.

Using a couple of tools, I have GPRS always on and my TomTom 2 is working perfectly.

I don't feel that I am missing anything, and since the upgrade would void the waranty from Orange, I am holding back upgrading..

Regards

I'm quite new to android i only got my android on October 29th 2012, and i'm pretty happy with android to be honest i thought it was terrible but turned out fine...

Anyways now on to what i need help with...

I've honestly fallen in love with ICS it just looks so nice...

and i REALLY want the theme / rom to it

but when i look on Cynagon mod or something

It always has bugs

Like example

- Camera not working

- Sound not working

and if there is a FULLY WORKING AND FIXED VERSION could you please post the link?

No, we still have to wait for the drivers from broadcom. The devs will first build CM7.2 then CM10.1 and then maybe CM9.1. So, it is the best if you use a ics themed stock based ROM.
