Hi

Today I have turned to the dark side and rooted my phone, then installed the Supernexus ROM.

All has gone well except I now cant get my messages back. I backed them up with Kies and its created a 'message.bk' file in its back up.

I now dont know what I need in order to extract these as Kies is now unavailable. I was hoping to find another 'message.bk' on the phone somewhere and just drop my backup over the top of it.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
[General Questions and Answers] immortalneo:
Supernexus is an AOSP rom, not Samsung based one. So Kies will not work with it.

If u want ur messages badly:

1. Re-flash ur old stock firmware

2. Restore the Kies backup to get back ur messages.

3. Backup ur messages using 'Sms Backup and Restore' app from Playstore.

4. Flash SuperNexus again.

5. Install 'Sms Backup and Restore' app again and restore ur messages. :)

By the way, which device do u own?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
Dumb question I know but everything ive seen on youtube suggests it breaks pretty easily anyways. Does anyone have any definitive proof that it is 3 times as tough?

Ive seen the scratch tests im looking for something showing that its more shatter resistant. I just need to boost my confidence in it after seeing all the negative posts about it lol
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
You can't test it by dropping the phone on its face. It's still glass, not diamond. I guess we would have to take their word for it to be honest.

I would also like a sandpaper test, probably would still fail that though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fade2green514:
From what ive seen its definitely way more durable than the s3 so thats definitely a huge plus. Seems more water resistant and more scratch resistant.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxonhtc:
Water resistant has more to do with the build rather than glass IMO. Note 2 was an improvement over S3, so obviously S4 is going to be better. Again, no way to tell except to trust them obviously.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
Gorllia glass 2 was not stronger than the original at 7 on the mohs scale but 20% thinner. Gorilla glass 3 is by Cornings statements 40% stronger than Gorilla Glass 2, 3 times more scratch resistant, and lastly that 40% fewer scratches will be visiable to the naked eye when they do occur. If you consider those statements they are fairly difficult to quantify because they don't provide an absolute comparative number. What exactly is 3 times more scratch resistant for instance, it obviously cant be 21 on the Mohs scale which ends at 10.

The thin bezels are great from a design standpoint but make the screen more vulnerable when it comes to surviving drops and other booboos because there is less material to absorb the shock between the screen and the strike point. Sand is usually about 5 to 7 on the Mohs scale depending on its composition and can be much lower (2 to 4) but is seldom much harder. Abrasives depending on which kind are used can run up to 9 or 10 for silicon carbide. Obviously with the right abrasive the screen can still be scratched, how it holds up to the usual abrasive we'll encounter (sand) depends on its composition but it appears to me like the right stuff would still be able to scratch the screen.

No matter how you slice it if Cornings statements are accurate this will be a consderable tougher screen in terms of scratching. As far as breaking from falls and the like the more uniform structure is supposed to withstand breakage better but whether this makes up for the thinner bezel and increased forces the screen will take during a drop is anyones guess. My theory is best not to test their claims with my own phone.

I think you need sdcard because CWM saves some files there but i don't really know because i never used my phone without sdcard
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mnunes01:
try'd everithing I could imagine, flashed 2.3.6, 2.3.5, 2.3.3, always boot loop

flashed 2.2.1 odin still recognizes the phone on usb connecting, but screen went completely black thoug i had brick the phone that time but still can enter donwloading mode. flahsed again 2.3.3 and boot loop again.

Iam starting to think that it was something to do with ext4 and rfs, maybe some partitions went bad...

Any clue?

I would really apreciate a recovery mode screen....
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] bgm92:
Download firmware from (is 2.3.6, January 2013) here (link 1)

Use ODIN from here (link 2)

To enter download mode hold volume-down button + home then turn on the phone.

Open ODIN press OPS button and point Odin to the OPS file from the archive from link 2

Check "One package" then press One Package button and point Odin to the file from link 1

Click Start and wait, I don't know what can go wrong now - I never really understand how people can brick their phones, I personally flashed today Froyo, then got back to ICS!

Remember! If you flash Froyo and you want to come back to Gingerbread/ICS/CM/etc., first flash a 2.3.5/2.3.6 rom! Only after flashing 2.3.5/2.3.6 you can flash CWM recovery and install your custom ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Gio GT-S5660] mnunes01:
ty for the response. I'ved tryied that, but still in bootloop... i really think i got a corrupeted partitions or something...

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
Somebody with a hox do

adb pull /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb-1/hpd

upload the file for him, then sahsu, put the file in your adb folder and

adb push nameOfFile /sys/devices/virtual/graphics/fb-1/hpd

adb reboot

Or if somebody copies the whole directory and uploads for him, Sahsu, you can use "mkdir" from a shell and then push all the files from the directory

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 18th.abn:
You could push the fb directory and rename it to fb-1 while dding it to device. Speculating here but I'm guessing this happened after a screen replacement and the new display wasn't synced correctly

Snapdragon 600

1.9 Ghz

Quad Core Krait 300.

or

Exynos5

1.6 Ghz Octal Core

Quad Core Cortex A15 / Quad Core A7

4g and installing roms is not important to me

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] batna.antab:
Performance wise the octa version will win on the CPU side and be on par , gaming the snapdragon will probably win cause it seems to becoming a standard on high end android Devices, battery will also be a tie, where the octa wins in low demanding tasks thanks to its a7, and the s600 win on higher demanding tasks cause the krait consume less then the a15.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forelli:
Giving Samsung ready to make the sources available, you'd better off with the Snapdragon version because Qualcomm will release their sources well before Samsung does. Consequence:

Development for the i9505 (Snapdragon version) will take off while the Exynos version's development will be slower...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
Stop saying GPU is same ! Adreno 320 sweeps the floor and even the windows with the ****ing PowerVR !!!

but Octa sweeps the floor with Qualcomm.

Both are important....cpu and gpu. But we have enough CPU in both. What sense makes to have huge CPU if you wouldn't be able to play or use some apps because of the old gpu without OpenGL ES 3.0 ?

Like a boss in Antutu and playing Angry Birds while Snapdragon 600 owners cries for being kings of the hills but playing new and high graphics games.

I found one more things which makes Exynos Octa better. The ram in Exynos is LPPDDR3 at 800MHz, which supports 12.8GB/s bandwidth, while S600 have LPPDDR3 at 600MHz (? not sure) but it's at 9.X GB/s (can't find this information
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackwolf10:
owh and angry birds friends is releasing soon

most of Ram is wasted on S-apps and features anyway and don't forget the wolfson audio chipset for exynos
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
I know, even so I'm big fan of Yamaha Grand Piano (I own one), so...if the chip inside the Qualcomm is Yamaha isn't a problem for me.

The only thing that makes me angry about the PowerVR 544MP3 junk is the OpenGL ES 3.0. I'm not 100% what's the importance if it, but i'm sure that soon will be released many games with this support and PowerVR have an OpenGL ES 2.0 api which gives "extended support of OpenGL ES 3.0. However, if you want full 3.0 compliance choose PowerVR 6X Rogue".

WTF is that extended api does ? I want to see a OpenGL ES 3.0 benchmark (GLBenchmark promised to release one) of both, Adreno 320 and PowerVR 544

what is the bandwidth and how it makes the Exynos stronger ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zmol:
Eyxynos seems to be overheating (see relevant thread in Q&A)

A question once and for all: DOES THE 9500 support LTE/4G or NOT!? Because that's a deciding factor in my purchse. I live in Denmark. I mean definite yes or no should be possible right?

overheating + no LTE will definitely sway me towards the 9505, but it still seems to be too early to tell.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
I9505 is heating too, but both in the first day only (at least this is what I've read).

Octa supports all bands of LTE BUT have NO MODEM. This means that will no work on LTE. If you want Octa and LTE you will need the Korean version.

This is my first Android game and I wanted to keep it simple, but entertaining - at least if you like this kind of games :)

It is a puzzle game in which you have to clear the board or get enough points by clearing lines of at least three tiles. There is small in-game tutorial (text instructions) and a lot of levels to play (with infinite mode as well)

You can grab the game from the attached file or find it on Google Play (search for "Squared Mateusz" - I cannot link to outside pages yet). This is the version 1.4 with ads disabled (which is paid in the store), but I want to get some feedback about the game itself - thats why I'm posting here a full version. Also, I think about the paid version more like a donation rather than a profit generator - the only difference between the two versions on Google Play are ads displayed in the free version. Currently I think that this kind of games should be free anyway, but I need to work out a proper way of doing this.

I am looking forward for any suggestion on how I could improve the game itself! Let me know what you think about it :)

Hey guys. Was looking for a quick and simple way of switching between the standard slide lock screen and the pattern lockscreen. Found my solution in the attached apk :) I wrote an app that simply launches the lock selector and you can quickly change your lock screen options.

What I am trying to do now (which I don't think is possible due to android security) is to not have to enter a new pattern each time you switch from pattern to "none" or "slide" I personally am loving this and its making things really quick and simple for me. I hated entering my pattern at home but wanted the pattern lock for when at work.

Hope you guys enjoy! :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wavemaster00:
Got a new S4 yesterday and running a few speedtests since, my preliminary conclusion is that this modem gives me slightly faster down and up speeds.

I have seen two tests that I have never seen before: two at 8 mbps and one at 9.7 mbps down

Two nice up speeds as well 1.65 mbps and one at 2.2 mbps

There is no LTE here.

I am comparing this with a Galaxy S2 also on AT&T with a variety of custom ROMs (task, derteufel, etc)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
The S4 has a HSPA+ 42 mbps. The AT&T S2 (i777) only has 21mbps. Even though AT&T's HSPA+ network tops out at 21, you'll still get faster speeds since its it 42mbps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
I'm seeing a similar boost in speed for no explainable reason. The normal maximum in my area using my i777 on H+ had been roughly 3 down and 2 up, give or take a Meg. Now I am getting speeds up to 7 down and 4 up in the same places. I suspect it might have something to do with the new APN and the LTE-access data plan? Perhaps the network is giving priority over bandwidth to these customers to give a perceived speed boost after getting a new phone?

For a reference, my friend with my old Infuse is still getting the "old" speeds...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wavemaster00:
I have long suspected that AT&T is playing with dataspeeds of most of their customers.

speed up new clients (for a while);

slow down those that have 'modified' their phones;

etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Mike:
Lol....slow down those who have 'modified' their phones. You have got to be kidding. A) They can't tell unless you are tethering and even then there are apps that will allow you to tether without rooting. B) Why would they care if you aren't running stock os. It isn't their os, but rather samung, htc, sony, etc. with att tossing in some apps and bloatware. They can slow your speeds if you are using a large amount of data, but not just because you're rooted or running a rom

Also, why would they slow down your data speeds after some time. It simply isn't a good business plan. You want consistent quality service for your customers so they will sign on the dotted line, contract after contract.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aou:
But I still suspect they could have different bandwidth pools for their different APNs... If that is the case it might be just that there are less people on this APN...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shoman94:
Isn't that achieved via MIMO (dual router connection)? Which currently only tmobile does. So that should not matter when testing AT&T's network.
