[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bobolinko:
You're both missing the point here, and it is prolly my fault. The point I was trying to make, is that the "SEARCH" engine really needs to be somehow upgraded so that it actually finds what is being searched for. I appreciate the good intentions of giving a user a link to locate anything, but adding the "use search" after that given tidbit detracts woefully from the good intentions. Seems like a scolding after a cookie is offered to a child. Give the info, and reserve the "use......." comments SURE IS A MORE PLEASANT APPROACH, don't you agree? That makes for a much more pleasant forum attitude and makes for a warmer atmosphere in this forum. Same with when a user posts a question in the "wrong" place, it's easy for Moderators to MOVE the thread and just leave it at that... No need to reprimand with a comment of "post in the right place" etc.... We are all in the same boat here, and are or maybe it would be nice to think we are in a concerted effort to have all of us come out with a gain..... So, please come back in from the street, and it's a good thing there was no traffic!

Sorry, was not trying to offend anyone, but make a small point.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
You know id have to agree. At least with stating "wrong thread" or "search". I always see the mods post their own warning when they move the thread. So why waste space with a redundant post when its easier to report and not take the job away from the mods. As a hint. I search in google with these key words " xda and my search terms. " that way If I'm specifically looking for something on xda I get only xda related searches.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
It's true that Google search works better than XDA search.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I don't report things every time cause the mods have a life too and considering almost every thread created has been discussed before, they'd be busy for ever. I can usually find 5 threads already made for a new subject by searching... nothing was confused with your last post, you said people should have things handed to them and not reminded of the rules, and then to go play in the streets if you know where things are in this forum lol. His question was in the Dev thread only 5 post back from the top, he simply didn't look that time.

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] FCORivers:
Have to agree about search button not working as expected here. I sure do use google to search on xda, lol.

I too really hate when mods ask you to "search" after you already searched but most times people dont search before asking usually. I do understand the point about rules, but, man, I have a couple of devices, very common devices, which threads could contain thousands of post and most times search wont bring a relevant answer. I end up reading a whole lot. In the end I would find my answer, or not.

What I mean is that is easier to ignore a stupid question if you dont want to help that helping and then telling to search, so in a way you are telling them lazy without really know if they used the defective search button.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] daxecutioner24:
At the same time they are creating a thread thats going to the top thats sometime useless and we might not spot someone else who really needs the help.basically its a large community with every phone available,you have a pouplar phone meaning you better get ready to read a lot through pages comes with the territory. Use Google and to be honest if m3tg or anyone else decides to help someone that person can choose to say what he wants ,bottom line this thread should die we can go back and forth forever.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
I search fine, I don't know if I have more patience or what but when I have a question I find it. It does need work but not that hard to try 3 to 4 different key word combinations, and than post what you tried to search for and an elaborate explanation of what you want. Not this thread, but a lot of threads go like this

Need help

How do I root.

Those get posted all the time, and that's just ridiculous. Most are around the same context, "flashed this rom, now it won't boot" or " what's the best rom" those are the most common, and I've made resource guides for a reason, and a couple q&a threads, they could use more work on the OP I know, but it's a great place for people to start asking those questions, there are plenty of stickies for people to not make mistakes and read before having a brick, or making lazy new threads. Simple as that, that's why mods ask for them ti search. Again none of this is towards Kamau54, just in general towards the whole threads "not searching" thing.

[MENTION=636705]executioner[/MENTION] I wanted to see if anyone would actually report a useless thread, lol. People don't have to be a RC to report useless threads that should be dead, they just like to chime in about it.

Now to enjoy my day off of work and have Sunday Funday.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Do you even have an Galaxy S3 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] android-incredible:
it is a friend of mine sgs3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
What is the actual name of the ROM? On your post it says htc12 and I am assuming that it isn't an Verizon Galaxy S3 rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] android-incredible:
my bad,the rom is MROM-7-20130330-olympus.zip
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
So basically you are flashing a Motorola Atrix ROM on a sgs3 phone. That is not a smart move unless you have a Motorola Atrix phone then you are in the wrong section.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
there is an Mrom in the original development section.

are you trying to flash that?

you can only flash roms that are for the vzw s3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] android-incredible:
im trying to flash this one.... my bad,the rom is MROM-7-20130330-olympus.zip,the guy told me it is for a sgs3.i told him that he have to register to this forum.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
It won't work it is for the Motorola Atrix NOT the Verizon wireless version of the Galaxy S3. There is an MROM for this device the thread that DDurandsgs3 just mentioned.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] android-incredible:
ok,and why i cant restore the nandroid backup? there are a procedure that i could check the md5 after do a nandroid backup.and how i know the md5 on the factory backup.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] android-incredible:
I really dont know what happening with this phone,I downloaded a CM10.1 official nightlies for D2VZW GS3-RC2 .I did wipe everything before install the rom,,when the rom was done i rebote the phone and now have yellow triangle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
Did you unlock bootloader?

Hello guys:)

I rooted my phone recently and I am using CM10.1 since. I wanted to switch to different roms using ROM manager but every time I try it it just reboots back to CM.... idk what to do...

I have an HOX Int trying to switch from CM 10.1 to Nocturnal xi40.

Thanks in advance:))
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Don't use ROM manager...

1. Download the ROM, extract the boot.img to fastboot folder and copy the rom.zip to your phone.

2. Go to fastboot mode and flash the boot.img via fastboot and then 'fastboot erase cache'.

3. Go to recovery make a full wipe...(Data/cache/dalvic)

4. Now flash the ROM.zip from recovery.

5. Reboot!

Follow these steps every time you flash a new ROM! ;)
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
Thanks!:p

as I said im new in this and i dont know the commands yet can u please explain them for me? I would very appreciate it!
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Do you have the latest HTC Sync drivers and fastboot folder? IF no, then here are the links:

HTC Sync Manager: http://www.htc.com/www/support/software/htc-sync-manager.aspx

Fastboot folder; http://d-h.st/8Jr

1. Flash boot.img (make sure your in fastboot mode)

fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot erase cache

2. Go to recovery and flash wipe data/cache/dalvic

3. From recovery>Install zip from sd>select zip>Navigate to the rom.zip and install it.

4. Install the Gapps if required...

5. Reboot.
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
I am having trouble with copying the rom.zip to my sd card. my computer wont recognize it so i cant just use the "Send to" option and when i use adb push it says device not found...

help please?
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Go to recovery>Mounts n storage>Mount USB

Now copy the ROM.zip file to your phone! and gapps.zip if necessary...
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
it says unable to open ums lunfile(no such file or directory)

also when i try to push the rom it says device not found and when i try adb devices the list is empty
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flash a newer recovery. Yours is to old

http://db.tt/z07vyksQ
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
after i flashed the recovery you gave me and i used fastboot reboot it just gets stuck on the htc logo.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Flashed the recovery

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (rename it to recovery.img)

Fastboot erase cache

Flashing a recovery will not mess up the actual working rom !
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
after erasing cache what to do? fastboot reboot?
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
I flashed the recovery successfully but what new? tried the "Mount usb" option but it just gives me 2 options "Go back" or "Unmount"....
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Leave it on that screen and hook up the usb cable....wait......wait.....and it should pop up eventually
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
10 minutes and still counting... nothing happened.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Don't know what you did the first time ? Try this one then

http://db.tt/Krlm4dPs

Rename it to recovery.img

Fastboot erase cache

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Fastboot erase cache

It must work. Otherwise there is something with the phone. Or you messed up a command somewhere ?
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
I did what you told me and im still stuck on htc logo... on the "Mounts and storag" menu it only has the option of go back nad unmount...

I dont care if i need to switch back to any other rom, even go back to stock and unrooted. i just want to be abe to use the phone
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
I know what you mean but mount as usb drive must work. Do you use the original HTC usb cable ? Are you using a direct usb 2.0 port on the pc ?

And if you see the : unmount and go back text you are in the mounting menu, at that point the sdcard is being mounted ! Don't tap "go back" or "unmount"
[HTC One X] shahafdive:
Im using the HTC cable and i tried it with every port. (can it be 3.0?)... if you cant think of anything else can you please guide me to a stock situation? guide me to make it back to stock?

I had my s 3 since February and never had this problem until a few days ago. Going into the settings and battety it says tha media is using the battery 49%. I dont know whats the problem.

Sorry friend, it doesn't work. I'm having the same problem some days after update to MC2 standard+CF-root6.4+Philz4.96 recovery+triangle. The extSD is switched-off alleatory when the screen is off. When it's switched on, the message: "SD extracted" appear and sometimes you get "SD card corrupt" too. For this reason the system in cotinously trying to update the SD content by multimedia. The battery comsume is then extremly bigger than normal. I've check formating the sd card but only works for a few hours, then it fails again. Now I'm trying to fix it reinstalling the CF-root. At the moment it's working fine. I´ll tell you something later. Some people say to be a hardware problem, but I think it maybe a problem during the rom updating.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
This is different issue. OPs problem is different. OP can fix it like I said. No need to stop scanner. Well known bug when newer OS version sees old data on sd. Just copy data off card, format and copy data should solve it.

Your problem may need a thread of its own
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sameelster:
Mate i did what you said but there was no difference. The only thing which did change though was that Media Scanner now uses 30% of the battery where system (*wakelock*) now uses 35% of the battery.

Maybe i am being a little superstitious. Umm if my phone is on standbye for an hour.Without wifi gps or anyting how much battery should it use?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It will still need to scan your entire sd card once you put data back on. if after 24 hours it is still doing it, maybe your sdcard is faulty. Try another one?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sameelster:
Well the media scanner has stopped!:) The system wake lock is still working but I will see till the next 24 hours:)

I don't think it will be a faulty SD card as it's been working for the last year or so! :)

But I'll keep you posted! Thanks alot for your help mate!

This can turn faulty you know ;) But I only said this incase what I said didnt work, but now it looks like it did :)

welp,

i was hoping that google would announce a nexus 7.2 at IO.. i just picked up a nook tablet for about a hundred bucks.. but i have yet to root it, i did try a SD rom on it.. but i was not at all pleased with the battery life.. and that seems like its the trade off.. that was a few weeks ago.. im wondering if the battery life of the home brew roms is still an issue... can the nook tablet make a good substitute for a nexus 7? i just dont want to buy a nexus 7 right now and find a few months down the road. the nexus 7.2 hits the market... im thinking right now there may be enough dev work that the battery issues of the nook tablet rooted and romed.. i have just a few more days to return it soi kinda need some feed back on how the nook tablet JB roms have progressed... or just wait for fathers day and get a nook HD for 140?

I don't have a NT at the moment, but when I did I had Succulent's CM10 dated 12331 installed internally. I was very happy with it and my battery life was the same as on stock, as far as I could tell. I preferred this CM10 to the CM10.1 that was available at the time (6-8 weeks ago)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
I'm running CM10.1 succulent build 5/2 and it is still buggish. If you want stability I would suggest using CM10 succulent build 12/31. It also has pretty good battery life depending on what you're doing.

EDIT: There is a new Nexus 7 tablet coming out sometime in 2013, Google just hasn't announced it yet. I've heard it will be released in July, but that's just a rumor.

If you have a non-functional home button in Android, especially AOSP/CM, here's how you fix it.

I take no credit for this fix but I wiped data for CalvinAmi for his broken phone that I'm fixing up with CM 7 and this symptom started and a data wipe didn't fix it. So I looked around for a fix and I found a pretty simple one though it's a long command.

Normally, you'd have to do a full wipe including system and reflash of ROm and reinstall to address this.

Without further ado:

http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/19605-home-button-issues-striking-back/#entry169153

Credit H:S in the CyanogenMod forums. Thank you!

Update: Added a runnable script that can be run with script manager or any other app that can run scripts. You may need to change to .sh or just run with script manager (with root permissions) and reboot when it's done.

I wanted to add this should work for later CM versions though it hasn't been tested as I haven't run into the issue.
