[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dblx327:
Samsung galaxy note i717. I rooted my phone yesterday as I also updated from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I have learned a few things about roms, kernels, backing up, restoring, etc.

I have SUPER SU, titanium backup, and ROM manager.

I understand that all rooted phones must have a SU to grant apps access to the software.

As for titanium backup, I have deleted bloatware and backed up and verified all of my information. I also bought the pro version of titanium backup. But for the Rom manager, I'm not too sure how to use that yet. I guess Titanium is for backing up and restoring, and ROM manager is for downloading the new rom?

To get a new rom (someone please recommend one to me? Specifically for good battery life and a customizable UI)

So you have to download it from the computer, then move to your SD card. Afterwards, the computer part is done right? How do you get the phone in the mode to put in the new rom? And do you have to wipe the stock rom first?

Someone please please recommend me a rom and tell me step by step how to do it without bricking my phone... And to restore everything back.

Thank you thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.carvalho97:
ROM Manager installs the CWM recovery on your device, it's a little tool that we use for installing zips with ROMs, kernels and stuff like that.

You have to get the ROM on the internal or external SD, and then go to the recovery mode. You can do this by pressing a button combo when the device is booting or you can also get to it with ROM Manager. Select "apply update from sdcard", and after this select "install zip from sdcard" (or "install zip from external sdcard" if you have your flashable zip in the external sd). Browse for your zip and select it to apply it.

To restore everything back, you have to make a nandroid backup before installing a new ROM. After you entered the recovery, select "backup and restore" and then select "backup". Just wait a little and it's finished.

A custom ROM I highly recommend is CyanogenMod, and you can also try AOKP.

Big post, but hope I helped :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 5261650:
It isnt't very Important but: I think Cyanogenmod is based on AOKP ;)

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sernzrevenge:
When android rolls out with 4.3, will users with the galaxy tab 2 10.1 still be supported as far as development with custom ROMs goes? Without making anyone mad here I'm going to ask another way... Will I ever see android 4.3 on a tablet I purchased a little over a month ago? It is keeping me up all night searching for answers and I'm at my ropes end.

Thanks for reading.

P.s I should have sprung the extra hunskie for the note 2 huh?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kvidli:
The custom roms will always be there...if the hardware will allow it we'll get the update here...I've seen many older devices getting jelly bean although they were officialy left on gingerbread or even froyo :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluecarbon:
Yeah, even the boost zte warp now has a buggy jellybean,and Ly-f1 clones (cheap alwinner tabs) were getting jellybean ROMs very shortly after the source was released, so i agree the prospects look good.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RikRong:
i already have 4.2 based ROMs for my RazrM, and it's still on 4.1.2. If there's an update pushed for the Tab, it will be developed and released in custom ROMs. If the OTA isn't pushed to the Tab, I can almost guarantee there will still be aftermarket ROMs based off 4.3 or 5.0 or whatever comes out next. Truthfully, I don't know why you are losing sleep over this.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sernzrevenge:
I've got a 4.2.2 ROM as well... Losing sleep looking for answers.

You can turn off the unit by pressing the on/off button, but the phone still works.

Is there a way to turn the unit completely off besides opening the rubber sim latch?

Rien
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] Rudegar:
no pda's are not supposed to be turned off if you do you loose all mem and contacts and the works

you can turn off the gsm by pressing the signal icon and choose fligth mode

and then turn off the pda by pressing the on/off button but it will never be 100% off

unless you open the sim latch

if you get a xda2 then you can take out the batt if you like but since it cost you all pda settings doing so i would not advice you to
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] rocketscientist:
Thanks

Thanks for your reply.

I know what to do now.

I was wondering, how often the sprint replacement device works with you guys? As far as i know that all replacement devices are refurbished.

EVO 4G LTE HB 2.09 S-OFF
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
I had 4 replacements through the sprint store with my 3D until I got one that wasn't scratched, dented, didn't rattle or even worked. I was told they are "recertified" not refurbished. They said they recirculate the phones people generally return during their 14 day period. The rep couldn't answer me when I asked about returned broken phones. Best Buy refurbishes them with brand new parts.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] waterbound:
For me, sprints Assurian will replace with used and remanufactured unless you push hard. For BB, I have always received new units and no questions asked which is why I am still using them and won't ever change again. Again, your results my vary depending on where you are and circumstances.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romeoh:
Thank you guys for sharing your experiences with the replacement devices. I think next time i should get the BB insurance. It's way better than Sprint insurance, at least I will get a brand new device as replacement.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gunfromsako:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
It might depend on the store/area. The 3 Best Buys near me give refurbished.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kchitown1977:
I'm wondering the same thing, sprint store had to reorder replacement, wondering what condition phone will be in, and has anyone that gotten a replacement got any thing other than ltevo
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Recently got a replacement from Sprint for my wife's Samsung ET4G. Phone was in excellent condition:cool:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cyrene:
That sucks! Same kinda thing would happen to me through Sprint. Sent through about 3 or 4 in about 2 weeks with my 3D. One was heavily scratched (which they refused to send back even tho the one I turned in was not, but that one ended up not connecting right so it went back anyway) another rattled heavily with sound, by the time I got my last one, if that didn't work, they said they "might" give me a new one.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thatdude02:
I can't say which ROM to use because there is no need for another "best rom" thread.

Just pick one that you think would work well for you. Most CM ROMs have pretty good theming capabilities but being dead honest, any ROM located on XDA would do the trick so research and try a few.

However, you can download the ROM from the thread in the development section and move it with a file explorer to the root of the sd card. Finally there, follow the steps outlined in the thread specific to flashing that particular ROM. They are fairly straight forward.

Make certain the first thing you do is make a backup! Backup backup backup! That way you have options if things go wonky.

If the steps do not make sense on how to flash a ROM, come back here and feel free to ask. Same for restoring a backup. However I will say I have little experience restoring to full stock via Odin, so someone else may need to chime in.

Good luck and happy flashing

It looks like you are using TWRP recovery as in your sig.

Yes it may fail with TWRP. Try Amon Ra or Clockwork Mod

TWRP sometimes does not play nicely with the rez.

I have updated the OP also.
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
I can rectify this. Care to try 3.3.4 for me?

TWRP does play nice with the Rez, just have to know how to handle update-binary/updater-script. As matter of fact, most of installers are TWRP friendly and preferred.

After install comment

I got a new-to-me refurb for a failed .13 flashed phone.

I did initial setup and allowed it to update to

4.03.605.14_710RD, (for radios and firmware updates).

I did htcdev unlock, flashed AmonRa .16, got SuperSU root.

I ran controlbear 0.5 with a dedicated microsd card.

I reflashed the patched .27 hboot from JB hboot,

reflashed AmonRa recovery .16 and splash1.img

from fastboot.

booted to AmonRa and flashed your ROM rebooted.

downloaded Titanium Backup and key, restored

backed up contents of internal flash (/sdcard),

restored contacts from export (.vcs file),

restored calendar from backup (.ics file)

CalendarSync created by CalendarSync pro.

Restored user apks and their data from TiBu and

phone and sms logs. Rebooted, re setup

home screens from screen caps I took before.

Recreated contact groups and my two contact

specific ring tones. Rebooted.

Tested adb shell for root, worked.

Tested fastboot getvars, worked.

Logged into to all my apps requiring login,

all good. The root apps asked for and got

root as needed. After everythoing was setup

I ran a nandroid backup from AmonRa. :victory:

Everything looks great. The battery icon

default is fine, (I don't need to try to

'patch it'). The defualt sound level is much

better (higher) than on .12. I don't need to

speakerphone to hear, (being hard of hearing,

that was an issue). I even got color back

on use of TWC-TV from Google Play. I was so

tired of monochrome green and black TV ;).

My whole setup process took about 2 hours.

Thank heavens for a good backup / disaster

recover plan :angel: :highfive:

After everything worked I ran a 3.14.605.12_710RD

RUU zip on the old phone and after it finished I

I reset the s-on flag with fastboot. Its been mailed

back to VZW. :)

All is well.

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] jwjohnson:
I'm unlocked and S-off. I first downloaded the radio/firmware update and flashed that from boot loader after renaming it. I then had to reload a recovery (TWRP in my case) using my PC. Then I installed the Global OTA Blue Rom from TWRP and then went through reinstalling apps and setting up email accounts. It's working well for me. I do miss the Reboot menu from the Power switch as mentioned above. I used ES File Explorer to get rid of a few apps. I'll probably do some more of that.

I just wish the OTA and this ROM had come out a couple of weeks earlier. I spent two weeks in Turkey in early May and would have loved being able to use this phone there. Maybe I'll still have this phone the next time I travel.

Is the camera and preview working with this version now?[/QUOTE]

Yes, It was fixed in 3.3.4
[HTC Rezound] fuzzynco:
I used Quick Boot to work around no extended power menu.

I wondered about that, I tried TWRP first, but controlbear refused to work,

(kept saying it could not do its backups), after switching to AmonRA .16

controlbear worked as expected.

Everything is working for me with AmonRa .16. TWRP or CWM would

be nice due to Orange Backup not supporting AmonRa format.

That's why I included it in the Rom

Will firmware.zip update 3.05.605.12 to 4.03.605.14?

Since there is no current RUU zip for the current firmware

Since I'm already S-Off can I replace the hboot with

patched .27 hboot?

[HTC Rezound] ikk788:
just curious why is there a space in the status bar to the left of the 4g/3g indicator when i have head phones plugged it... i think it might be where that location icon is from the stock rom... doesnt effect the rom just curious if i can remove that space.

Fixed the blank spot from removing the constant location icon. The attached zip can be flashed in recovery and will replace the SystemUi.apk. The only changes were:

1) The previously mention smali edit to 0x0.

2) Added the deleted icons back into the res folder (the missing icons apparently caused the smali code edit to be ignored).

Any particular reason not to just swap this Systemui.apk with the original into the ROM zip before flashing the ROM? (I typically pull stuff out, put custom ringtones in, change boot animation, etc. before flashing a ROM anyway).
