Rom

In theorically , there's no best rom for tethering or hotspot, all rom uses same package from AOSP, but anyway i suggest you to try highly modified ROM like CyanogenMod and Aokp, in these rom instead others there's alot of developer that working on, bug is always fixed fast and hardly you can see bug! Anyway it's PC drivers or provider fault, i always use USB Tethering, never encounter any issue on stock, AOKP, PA

follow namtombout suggestion, use 3° app, sometimes resolv some issues
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snsd:
Thanks to both of you for your responses. I'm using the latest version of PA and I tried the latest version of CM. Sometimes they work perfectly. Other times they take a long time to connect. Other times I can't connect at all.

The reason I asked about whether one ROM or kernel is better than another in terms of USB tethering is because on my old LG Optimus One phone, there was a big difference between ROMs in terms of USB tethering. Some never worked. Some were flaky. Some were rock solid.

I prefer not using a 3rd party tool as I like just being able to plug my phone in and not to have something else running on my PC... (I'm also frugal and don't want to pay $10 for an app. The free version doesn't suffice as I use https for almost everything.)

Just in case a kernel or a version of a ROM makes a difference, can I ask what version of PA you're using and which kernel?

Thanks

Dave

AOSPA 15May Maguro Official one

Fugu kernel ( forked from me and introduced some little things, but this is off topic )

LG Optimus one is different world from nexus, on LG, alot of rom are official based and bug-ness AOSP, in nexus there's no this difference, Stock, AOSP and AOSP-based uses all same source ( modified of course ), this is reason that i said "there's no better rom" :)

I have flashed MIUI and seems like they have used all the system partition. now I have deleted some apps I dont need but its not enough and it seems that there is some apps I cannot install to SD cos they wont be working, I have heard that you can somehow make some of your SD be part of the system partition.

is it really possible?

is it recommended?

Greetings members,

I have simplistic framework installed & I want to install Xposed framework to use greenify donation extra features, will I get ROM problems(any kind of problems)?

Q2; what is better for battery life having 2 or three cores working at high Freq., or having all 4 cores working at average Freq. ?

For my expectations, i think all on is better than 2 or 3 with high Freq. , but I need an expert answer

Thanks in advance for your help & cooperation.

[General Questions and Answers] besplatan:
So I'm from Serbia, and for reasons best known to Google, they won't let anyone from my country buy apps on Google Play. This was easy to circumvent by using proxy servers or VPN, but now (in the last week or so), Google Play won't let me buy apps any more. When I use a VPN (whether on my desktop or my Android devices), Google Play is now showing me only free apps. When I use a different browser (where I'm not logged in with my Google account), Play is showing me the store of whatever country the proxy server is in, but when I log in using my account, it's showing only free apps.

Does anyone know what changed and what is Google using to figure out which country I'm in? I don't have a country set in my Google account (it says optional so I didn't specify it), but somehow they know I'm not in the US or the UK even if I'm using a proxy.

Hello. I recently switched from the iPhone to android and I rooted using the motochopper.zip. After I was done, I pressed the power button and then pressed it again to see the facial recognition lock. Then, it just froze. I pressed and held the power button and it has been stuck on the android recovery loop. I tried putting it into "download mode" as people have recommended and download this "custom OS", but it's stuck downloading. I've tried searching it up, but people are saying to "flash the ROM" or using "Odin". Since I am a new android user, I have no idea what they're talking about.

I know that there's some threads about this, but they're not on my device and they're outdated.

Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Same thing here

I'm having the exact same problem. I can't even get into download mode to try and restore. I'm not new to android and have had several Galaxy phones in the past. I think the internal SD is either corrupt or the OS has simply been wiped from it somehow. The phone boots and shows the Samsung logo with the "Custom" unlock icon then reboots and boots into stock recovery. Once in stock recovery, if I try to wipe cache it says "Wipe error" and goes back to the main menu. My phone is rooted with Motochopper since the release of the exploit. With the bootloader still locked, I haven't even attempted any other mods or flashes. My phone was fine all day yesterday but my battery completely died last night while I was out. I plugged it in and let it charge all night, the phone is fully charged. Removed SIM, external SD, still nothing. I'm going to continue to try and get to download mode but I've just about tried everything I can. Anything this awesome community can help with would be great, luckily I still have my Nexus so it'll do until I can call AT&T on Monday. Its a corporate account so a retail store won't touch it.

Hi,

I accidentally dropped my Galaxy S I and whenever I turn it on, there is a message that says:

Android system recovery <3e>

Enter: OK Key, Select : Vol UP/ Vol down

Reboot system now

apply update from sdcard

wipe data/ factory reset

"Reboot system now" is highlighted and I can't select other options for some reason. I took out the battery and the sd card, pressed every single button but it doesn't seem to work. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do!

A. You brought back a resolved thread from MAY????????????

B. You dropped your phone.....replace it. Warranty or insurance is your best bet. If warranty won't cover it or if you have no insurance on it, you could try to get Samsung to repair it for less than buying a new one (usually).

Please don't bring back any more OLD and RESOLVED threads.

You are wrong this thread isn't resolved. I have the same problem with my Tmobile S4 (M919). When the phone boots without me pressing any buttons, it goes to

Android system recovery <3e>

KOT49h.m919UVUFNB4

and when I HOLD VOLUME DOWN + HOME + POWER it boots as it should. I can't go into download mode. I'm not sure but I think it has something to do with KNOX.

Help

Hi,

I've just got a Note 3 but it's status is Custom. I don't think it's rooted, I certainly haven't done it.

Basically I want the Kit Kat update but it tells me I can't update OTA as it's modified and through Kies it says it's up to date which isn't true. I'm on 4.3.

I tried rebooting into recovery but it errors when I try and doesn't tell me any information about KNOX lock etc.

Anyway If I can do the update with Odin I'd be happy but could you help me:

Firstly what version of Odin should I use. I can see a 3.07. It seems old but is that OK ?

Secondly I can't work out what firmware I need to download for it. I have done *#1234# and this is what it tells me the following:

AP: N9005XXUBMJ3

CP: N9005XXUBMJ1

CSC:N9005DBTBMJ3

Any ideas what it is and which I'd need to download for it ? When I got it the phone was set to German by default but I'm not sure if that means it is German or not.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

Be advised that I'm not a recognized developer and that my experience(s) may not be typical of the average Android user. Your results will vary.

1) Download stock ICS ROM - the last update before JB hit our phones.

2) Download stock JB ROM - the latest update that hit our phones.

3) Unzip both files to your desktop or folder of your choice.

4) Copy the file gpt_main0.bin from JB over to ICS. Yes, you will replace it.

5) Edit the XML file on the ICS build and remove all instances of 'getvar'

6) Open up RSD Lite, navigate to the XML file of your ICS build

7) Reboot your Atrix HD to install ICS

At one point the phone booted back into safe mode after ICS was installed but after I shut off and restarted I was all set. I'm running ICS and I'm now connected to my lapdock full screen with overscan.
