[HTC One S] turnschuh:
Hey guys, since my post count is too low to post my problems with this OTA update in the development section of this rom, ill do it here. Sorry for that.

I think im having no problems with flashing the 2.1. ROM yet but i have my concerns if i did that right.

First problem with flashing it, is the question if im having a custom kernel. I flashed ViperOneS a several times but made a fullwipe before.

So am i having a custom kernel or not?

Next issue is that im only able to flash this ROM with CWM. TWRP 2.5 doesnt work and even 2.3.3.0, which should work, but does not for me...

Well with CWM i ll do it that way:

1. Doing Fullwipe in CWM (Factory reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik and System).

2. Flashing the ROM and choosing HTC Theme > Custom Kernel? > not sure sometimes "yes" sometimes "no".

3. Flash finished? > asks me if i want to reboot (into system) or save the logs. Since the instruction tells me to flash the boot.img first before rebooting...

4. ... im going into bootloader via adb which works

5. flash the boot.img

6. fastboot erase cache

7. reboot system

8. before doing the first setup i go into recovery and wipe cache.

I think 2.1 works but i want to be sure if i did everything right, especially with the custom kernel question and that i reboot into bootloader right after aroma says that the flash is finished.

Now i want to flash the 2.2.0 OTA because the update function through the ROM didnt work for me last time (it downloads the OTA but wasnt able to flash)

Im not sure how to flash the OTA right via recovery. Everytime i did that the ROM was kinda messed up, like when im turning the screen off and on Sense keeps loading and it takes some sec to unlock. And the venom tweaks app is totally laggy, even with the "trick" to go into app settings and wipe the cache and data which found on any other site (not xda...).

The problem is that they dont keep their instructions up-to-date (+ how to flash the OTA... right)

It looks to my like there are 100 different ways to flash 2.1.0 and 2.2.0 and only 1 is the right way which lets the ROM being amazing...

Hope you can help me. Thanks in advance!
[HTC One S] rootrider:
All you have to do ist to flash the OTA with your custom recovery like any other flashable zip if this isn't done automatically. You can simply copy it to your device from your pc or flash it from your mobiles download folder, it doesn't matter which way.

The 'trick' is very well known here at xda, but simply nobody wants to repeat it a hundred times... Here at xda there is even included the fact, that after rebooting you should change your skin once to get things going besides wiping cache and data in venom tweaks and hub.

What EXACTLY doesn't work with TWRP 2.3.3.0?
[HTC One S] turnschuh:
yea i did it like that. i just flashed it in the recovery, but im not sure if i have to wipe caches after or before doing that.

about finding such "tricks": the problem is that those ROM release threads have tons of post (500+ sites of them) and it seems like 90% are from people who didnt even flash the ROM... i think you ll excuse me if i say i got tired of searching for my problems there^^

well can u tell me which skin i have to change? on venom tweaks or the htc skin on personalization? and app settings > venom tweaks > wipe cache and data right?

when i flash it with 2.3.3.0 (or 2.5... its the same), the flash process doesnt even take up to 2 seconds and it says its finished and that causes a bootloop but doesnt make me wonder.

dont you have problems with TWRP flashing sense roms either?

ah and another one: did i flash the version 2.1 right and what about the custom kernel question?

well thanks for ur time.

edit: well this time flashing with twrp 2.3.3.0 worked somehow, but i choosed flashing without wipe (made it in recovery) and not to delete apps with aroma installer (which i did before)... just strange.
[HTC One S] turnschuh:
new problem. dont know whats wrong with my phone but:

wanted to make a backup of my ViperOneS 2.1 with TWRP 2.3.3.0 after lets say 70% of progress it starts turning off my phone and restarts into system. i flashed 2.5.0.0 but its the same issue (edit#1: with CWM too...). strange is that TWRP turned out my phone before when i wiped something there.

i think somethings really messed up atm...

edit#2: had to run a ruu over the system again, flashed twrp and backups seem work again..strange ****
[Epic 4G General] justan00b:
Edit: Apparently you can do this on JellyBean (JB) too. I installed SlimBean v5 from here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2187798 and made an activity shortcut under WiMaxHiddenMenu, then to WiMax CT, and the SET button is available to change the MAC. Posted a screenshot at bottom of post

I don't think this has already been posted about here, or at least I couldn't find it. If you flash your phone to an alternate carrier one thing you may miss is your 4G since you're probably stuck with 3G. If you signup for a 4G WiMax provider like Clear, Timewarner, Comcast, Freedompop (they offer free plans), etc than you can change the WiMax MAC address on your Epic and change the WiMax Realm to get connected.

I found this awesome thread here that shows how to fully change all the WiMax settings including the MAC address for the Epic Touch (E4GT), but unfortunately on the original Epic 4G D700 when you open WiMax CT and try to change the MAC, there is no "SET" option. You can only view the MAC on the Epic, you can't change it. I was going to ask for help on the thread, but read up to page 11 and found my answer here and here.

In WiMax CT the option to change the MAC was erased in Gingerbread, so you have to downgrade back to Froyo to change the MAC. I made a backup of my system first in Clockworkmod Recovery, erased my phone and downgraded all the way back to Froyo DK28, and sure enough you can change the MAC in WiMax CT. After I changed the MAC I restored my backup and the MAC address stuck and I had changed it successfully. The process was really easy and just time consuming downgrading and finding old DK28 files on the web. After you change your MAC, you just need to set the REALM of whatever provider you are trying to connect to and enjoy your 4G service. :cool:

Anyway, just thought I'd share in case anyone else has tried to do the same... FYI changing your MAC doesn't magically give you 4G if you're not activated with a WiMax provider, and doesn't magically give you 4G WiMax coverage where there is none.

Info from thread Full WiMax Settings Epic 4G Touch -- thanks to sbrissen and autoprime

Pictures below, WiMax CT app and Speed test using Freedompop free 4G (almost 11Mbps down and 1.5 Megabits up)

Forgot to take a screenshot when I was on Froyo, but here is a screenshot from Gingerbread. You can see the "SET" command button has been removed from MAC address and you can't change it. In Froyo there is a SET button next to the textbox:

Speed test using Freedompop.com 4G on my Epic

To go along with my edit at the top of the post, you can ALSO change the WiMax MAC in Jelly Bean as well! Awesome.

this maybe stupid question, but I am tired of this stupid activesync problem I had.

How to make a USB connection enabled?

I uploaded a screen captured for more details..

thanks guys
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Rudegar:
and the cradle is connected and is getting power ?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] alimx:
yup.. my device is connecting fine with this computer before.. but i accidentally click disconnect USB/SERIAL port when i try to connect my friend's xda on to my computer.

now my device is only charging and the usb is connected to computer but not to activesync...

I had this problem before, and what I did was uninstall activesync and install it again.. but all my applications that listed in add/remove programs would be lost, I dont want that..

I am sure there's a way to make it enabled without uninstalling it.

Any chance of a mod be done to put the text reflow.

This would be my #1 requested feature too but seeing how Samsung hasn't put it in their stock browser and neither has Chrome to date, I'd say the chances are rather slim unfortunately. Opera and Dolphin might be good alternatives though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nessuno1:
I would love to get it too.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exec99:
Mobile browser without a text reflow is totally useless IMO.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixpoint1:
It's on the Note 2's stock browser, why would it not be in the S4?

Go in the browser options and enable it.

Menu > Settings > Advance > Auto-fit pages (Format Web Pages to fit the screen)

Also a default zoom option, using close is probably best for text reflow.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hsound:
Thanks for the idea but it's not working... Double tap just zoom in but no text reflow.

I love the stock browser just because there are Quick/Pies controls, I don't understand why the others browsers doesn't have this...

But another important feature is Text flow. Is there a browser having both ?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ywindlass:
Hello XDA Community,

I got my first smartphone in middle school. It was my first phone. The T-Mobile Shadow (Windows Mobile). I was 13 then. Now I'm 18, and in College. I spent my free time in doing the easy mods the community created. I got the MyTouch 3g as soon as it came out and started flashing roms. Then, the Nexus One came out and I immediately came up with a scheme to convince my sister to take my old phone so I could get the Nexus One. Anyways, I got it in 10th grade and life was sweet. I was happy. I became a "crack flasher". So I had the phone for a while and decided then to get the Galaxy S3.

As for the Galaxy S3...

I don't know about this phone. I've had it for less then a year. Obviously, I became an HTC fanboy growing up with HTC phones. My friends all got HTC phones. We all flashed roms and enjoyed ourselves. But when this phone came out, I had to make a hard decision. The removable battery, expandable storage (and T-Mobile availability) made it a good choice. It was unlike the HTC One X in those regards. (My friend got that phone) The HTC One just came out. I want it now.

Why?

Well I suppose I'm not that happy with the S3. I got a 64gb micro sd for it. I thought I could replace my ipod. I was so wrong. I hate all of the music players on Android. I regard music too highly to be happy with the Android music experience. Anyways, that's not going to change with any new Android phone. I've learned to live with that. The screen is nice, but it doesn't compare to other displays I've seen. I guess it's because I keep the DPI kind of low and expect crispness? The LG Nexus 4 has an amazing screen also and works very well. The biggest thing though, that I really dislike about this phone, is the build quality. I hate the plastic feeling. I hate the gloss and fingerprints. It feels so cheap. And, the UI isn't even liquid smooth. I've flashed a lot. I guess I'm comparing it to the Nexus 4 now, as I've played with that a bit. I've got very close to really quick, but I'm not satisfied. I paid a lot of money and invested my hopes in this technology but I'm not pleased.

I've found that throughout the time I've owned this phone, I've thought a lot of different things. I've considered Windows Phone, Blackberry, and even iPhone, just because I want something sexy that works well. But I'm an Android man.

I don't know if this is because deep down, I'm an HTC fanboy. Or if it's because I'm a Google fanboy and love Nexus phones (or a combination?). i hate these second thoughts I'm getting after such a long time of having the phone. It's not long enough to justify an upgrade. Am I cursed with being unimpressed forever growing up with so many innovations around me?

Do share your thoughts for me on this. I just wanted to share,

Cheers,

ywindlass

Tl;dr
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GG2012:
We all have our wish lists for that single, perfect phone. I know I certainly do. Whether it's the IPhone's/HTC's/Sony's great hardware/build quality, or the pure Android experience offered with Nexus, or Samsung's wide array of software features/apps, the "perfect" one.

I love technology and I love my smartphone. I love rooting, flashing, trying out a thousand different things on my phone. But why should I care about it (the smartphone) so much? Of course I have invested lots of money into my smartphone, but it's not healthy to be consumed so much by smartphone. I know I'm going a bit off-topic, but really I'm just trying to tell you, just get a phone for what it really was for, to call, to text. I know apps are so convenient nowadays because we have everything in a device, but sometimes it's not bad to do it old-fashioned.

Get a phone that you will use now and a while. Get a phone that can serve its purpose. While a phone may have many features or many apps, I highly doubt a student or a professional will find use for it every single hour of the day. Most of us I assume probably aren't developers, and even as hobbies, it shouldn't consume much time.

This is by far the best advice I have seen on xda ...ever.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Towle:
Back when you were content with your phone(s), things were growing much slower than they are now. At the current rate that phones are being released, it's guaranteed that there will be a new and better phone that you will want within the first year. Companies don't want you to be content with a phone for too long. I bet Samsung has better features right now that could have been added to the s4, but they want to save those for the s5.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nyyankees1237:
I agree on almost all of your points. I've had my share of android phones (G1, Moto Charm, G2x, and now Galaxy S3) and I'm beginning to become disappointed with the experience of this phone compared to that of a newer android device or even an iPhone and it's been only 8 months since I've purchased it. I don't quite agree with you on the music issue as I'm a music junkie myself with a 7 gig library but poweramp has transformed my android music listening experience into a great one.

Back to the S3, I've found that the battery life and build quality have been very sub par for me. Plus the pentile display is nothing to rave about either. Being only a sophomore in high school and tied to my family's family plan on T-Mobile, I really don't have an option to switch. I desperately want a Note 2 or Nexus 4 but financially I'm screwed. Even with the Nexus 4's low price I'd have to wait for the rumored 32gb version for storage reasons but that'd set me back $400 for shipping and tax. The S3 isn't even worth that anymore used.

All in all, I feel as if I should've waited for the Note 2 or Nexus 4 before getting the S3. Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome device that's suits all of my needs fine but there are definitely better choices out there from the perspective of a critical tech junkie such as myself.
