You can use the same *process* used there. Just make sure to NEVER EVER flash a ROM, ZIP, THEME, APP, etc. that's made for the International s3 (i9300 and some other model number too)

As for the backup part, yes, you can skip Titanium Backup. TB is mainly used to restore apps/data across roms. So if you're just trying out MOAR and want to make a backup that you can revert to just in case, a backup in recovery will be enough because TB will only backup settings + data + apps and not the entire state of your system, which a Nandroid/backup from recovery will do.

Oh, and just for your own learning benefit, a backup from recovery (commonly referred to as a Nandroid), saves the EXACT state of your system. So lets say you had just finished moving a bunch of apps from one homescreen to another. The nandroid will record all this information EXACTLY because it creates a mirror image of your system as it is at the time of backup. All SMS messages will be in the same order, times, etc, all apps will be at the same version that you left it. Everything will be as if you had put your phone down and come back some hours later.

As for the tweaks, the majority of the time you can flash them whenever you please, be it right after ROM installation or two weeks after ROM installation. Pretty much the only exception is when the dev explicitly says "flash this RIGHT after flashing the ROM" or something like that. If the dev doesnt say that, you can flash the mods/tweaks whenever you please.

One last thing, next time please post Questions in the Q&A forum. Thanks :thumbup:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeppuda:
Wow, thanks for the speedy and thorough response. So, I install the tweaks exactly like the ROMS? Also, sorry about posting in the wrong section...im a noob:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CNexus:
Haha, no problem, first-time posters tend to post questions in the General forum, or in the Development forums. Make sure you DO NOT do the latter lol (even if you have a question about a rom/mod/other thing that IS in the development sub-forum). You will get severely reprimanded by members that can be not-so-nice.

But yeah, just flash in recovery. Things that you just need to flash in recovery are generally called "flashables" or "flashable zips", and the great majority of mods are. And same exception applies here, if they dont say that it's a flashable, dont try to flash it! Sometime the "mod" will be set up in a way that you need to download it and copy/paste to the right location, just make sure you read and ask if you are unsure :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jeppuda:
Thanks for moving it for me.

Another question for anyone,

I backed up my ROM on internal SD card and moved it to my computer. There is a folder in my files->clockwork mod->blobs and backup.

Can I delete both blobs and backup? or would I lose clockworkmod if I do that? thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] toolegit:
Dunno about blobs, but backup is only created when you do a nandroid. Removing it will not hurt CWM.

I use TWRP, so can't comment on blobs... but I used to delete the backup folder regularly.

Hey all,

Does anyone have a wifi tethering app suggestion? or specific settings to set on a particular app to get wifi tethering working?

I'm rooted using MotoChopper. I tried WiFi Tether for Root Users and I can get the app to start just fine but my the network doesn't appear to be broadcasting as I can't see it on any other devices.

I can't use the built in hotspot feature because it's not enabled on my plan.

I understand it's early in the development stages for the SGS4 but just seeing if anyone has a workaround for the time being.

Thanks,

does it provide free tethering? or are you on a tethering data plan?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] apmon:
Is it possible to redirect all tethered traffic through a VPN and therefore circumvent t-mobiles tether detection?

E.g. set up an SSH tunnel with port forwarding on the phone and then set your phone as a proxy server on your PC?

Or, if t-mobile only uses user-agent detection, can you simply use a VPN directly from your PC? As all traffic is then encrypted, t-mobile should no longer be able to identify its origin.

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhappyharsha:
I am having problem with my data connection on my Samsung Galaxy Tab2. I start using the internet connection with no problems then at one point i lose data connection all other serviced work well sms and calls. In order to get my data connection back i either have to restart phone or else go to flight mode and off flight mode again (flight mode thing sometimes works and sometimes doesn't).

Sometimes, it also says "No SIM Card". This complete issue typically happens when I have the 2G internet ON and the phone gets locked automatically. When I unlock it again, I see these issues.

So far, this issue happened only with 2G connection. Now, today, the No Sim Card message came up when I left the Wi-Fi button on and left the phone for a while. :crying:

I have tried selecting "GSM Only" in the network settings. I am using Vodafone IN (Andhra Pradesh, India) network. All other threads on google suggest flight mode and restart but I don't want to restart so many times in a day... This happens everytime and the frequency is increasing.

Is anyone experiencing a similar problem? Any solutions for these?

Not much. And depends on the rom.

It will just tell you how fast the cpu and gpu can work. But the real test is you trying out the rom by your self
[HTC Sensation] rp56:
So basically if a rom has faster down & upload speeds than another rom it doesn't mean that the faster rom is nesicarilly better than the other one? Thanks
[HTC Sensation] hanisod:
No. Wait

If you mean Internet speed. It various from rom to rom unfortunately. You have to check the bugs list. And also you have to try the rom as it also various from device to device.

And sorry for the late response and the misunderstood :banghead:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] double RL:
I got my S3 last July and rooted it and installed a rom the first day. I've had zero issues with it so far outside of the occasional freeze or reboot. I've pretty much only run Task's AOKP rom. I do not think my problem is rom or kernel related whatsoever, but it seems more like some type of hardware issue.

Anyway, two days ago I was running the 4-26 version of Task's rom with the stock kernel. I did a full wipe and clean install. The phone had been running trouble free with no issues for a couple of days. Suddenly with around 75% battery, it just rebooted when I turned the screen on but kept failing and starting again at the Samsung screen or sometimes made it to the underwear kernel screen. I tried to go into recovery and it started into recovery for about a second and went into reboot again. Tried download mode and it went right in and then rebooted after a second or two. It will not stay in any mode for longer than a second or two. I've tried connecting it to the pc and put it into dl mode and it does the same. I have a usb jig and it puts into download but only for a second or two.

I'm sure I'm missing something, but any help would be appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tomy1986.nt:
Check the bad power button or bad battery.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] double RL:
Good suggestion on the power button. Would make sense, but it seems to be fine feels exactly like it should. I took it apart and even left the button off. The part of it that's attached to the motherboard is very crisp and pops right back after pushing it in. Doesn't seem to be the problem. I've tried three different batteries with the same results. Guess I'm going to the service center tomorrow. Damn
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] SteveH:
Hi all

I have a problem with my XDA II / Plantronics M3000 - the headset sometimes turns off in the middle of a call. It only started doing this after I upgraded the firmware (currently on ROM 1.60.00WWE and Radio 1.10.00).

The call doesn't get dropped (call timer still runs) but once the headset turns off then you can't hear the caller or vice versa. Can't find any way to transfer the call back to the handset either. :( Switch the headset on again and all is OK for a while.

Anyone else had this problem or got any suggestions for a fix?

Thanks in advance

Known problem

Hi somewhere on this forum there is a thread confirming this headset is not working properly (i think it was confirmed by a australian headquarter)

so I called the dutch headquarter in Hoofddorp, and they confirmed to me that with the current rom's there is a problem with this headset, they say they are working on a solution, but recommanded me to return the headset to the shop
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cshields1:
Re: Known problem

I have this combo too [M3000 BT with i-mate XDAII]. Plantronics tech support said there is a bug within Carrier Devices software for i-mate XDAII preventing effective operation. One of the last i-mate ROM updates messed up things with the M3000 BT. I've email Carrier but not heard anything yet. Also posted at Club-imate forum.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] dave:
The pocket BT tools fixed this on my Qtek 2020+M3000. :D

It is a problem related to the native BT stack. :twisted:

The only thing that will not work is the automatic timer on the BT tools: when it turns off the BT on the qtek, it also turns off the M3000. :(

But if you turn off the BT manually the headset stays on, so it is not a big issue.

I ran the debug version and sent the file to Tobias to fix this. Hope he will do it.

I didn't try extracting and running it but I'm pretty sure it might be requiring certain cm 9 tweaks which I currently don't have in JB, I was hoping whether somebody could point me to a mod for flashlight.

Anyway my requirements are I need to convert my camera flashlight to act like a torch with light intensity adjustments.

Anyway I will consider any recommendations.

Also downloading an entire rom for a single apk ain't possible for me due to slow 2G Internet (max speed 20kbps irregularly and usually stable at 10kbps)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] immortalneo:
I don't think there is any app that can control the intensity of ur camera's flash. It is very difficult to develop something like that.

If u dont have CM9 rom, how do u know the CM9 app has that function? :confused:

You can try Tiny LED from the Playstore. Its good. :)

Hello all,

I've been using lumia 920 for only 2 months now, and unfortunately it got drenched with water after it fell on my kitchen sink.

Same day, i could see the screen being filled with water.. but after a while screen went black.. but the phone is able to boot and the bottom 3 keys are responsive.. i have around 2 gb of data and dont know how to take backup of the same.

unfortunately, i have setup a security lock.. so when i connect the usb cable, i am able to see a empty folder getting mounted. is there a way to remote desktop and unlock the phone and get the backup ? help please..

i had taken the phone to nokia care center in mumbai, they told me they are not authorized to open the 920.. only its serviceable in delhi center. and just to open the phone, the charge is a whopping Rs14000. and to add to it, the other costs if any hardware damage has happened..

my phone is as good as dead now.. :(

Any help is greatly appreciated.. !!
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Your mistake was turning it on while still wet. Had you turned it off as soon as it got wet and dunked it rice other simialr material for a week it would have dried out and you most likely could use it for soemtime till corrosion sets in. However now the electronics are being fried with each use and there is no way to retrieve the data if the device is locked and you cannot unlock it.
[Nokia Lumia 920] chandanbs:
Actually, yes it was my mistake for the first 2 days..

And now i am unable to turn it off.. :(. even when i hold the power button for 10 seconds.. and slide down.. it doesnt turn off.

i was wondering if there was any app (similar to we had remote display in windows mobile where we could access phone from desktop pc).
[Nokia Lumia 920] dxdy:
major mistake is not using backup at least once a week... is not hard, simple use automatic copy media content when connect phone to PC and that all... old wisdom sayings "every school cost money" (in that case data).

if phone not complete boot you cant access via File Explorer on PC
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Not without it booting. You said you have a pass code installed. Unless that pass code is entered there is no way to access the phone by any means rather through display or USB and remote. The pass code is there if used to protect the data on the phone from any form of access.
[Nokia Lumia 920] chandanbs:
I have put my phone immersed in rice and its completely dried now. the phone boots and connects to my pc.. but empty device folder.. as security lock is enabled. screen is black..

if there was a possible way to take a backup in this condition.. (i dont know know if an app like mymobiler for win mob 6.5 exists for lumia 920.. :().

i am thinking now to give this phone to nokia care center and say my phone went dead last night.. and i am getting blank screen.. i have a hope that they replace faulty h/w freee of cost.. :smile:
[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
As long as the lock is active, it locks everything. Even remote and USB access. Your data is gone.
