I've tried different ROMs and I have come back to one backup and I have not had any issues until now my shortcuts are no longer showing up on the lock screen with the swipe option. Do anyone know how I can get those shortcuts back on my lock screen?

On another point, I like the calendar and shortcuts on the swipe lock screen. Is there an app, apk, or mod that I can install to allow me to get the swipe lock screen and a pattern or password lock screen behind it. Thanks.

If you got root use the sim location code changer.

Using it you can access us market. It might help.

Otherwise search google for alternative playstore

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebostek:
I have a S5830M from telcel with the rom SGS3 V2. The phone has around 100mb of user occupied not by my apps I believe that's because I flashed the rom from an already in use stock without using odin first.

I want to use odin to flash stock to try and recover that lost space but I'm not sure which stock firmware should I use. I was able to find the original telcel rom after CheckFusDownloader_v2.1 failed to download it but I'd rather not use that one because it seems to have some features removed.

Could I use the pre-split rom provided on the flash guide or should I use the original telcel rom?

I'm not sure if I can use the pre-split rom because it was made for the S5830i model and I don't know if the stock roms are compatible across the i/M/C models
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:

[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebostek:
I've run into a problem when trying to do this: the split files do not include a bootloader file and the readme.txt file that was included says:

The guides I've found all say to use the pit file included with odin, what does that mean?

Any idea if I can still use this rom?

Edit: I found the bootloader on the flash guide which I somehow missed previously. But I'm still unsure because it says that its for the S5830i
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] srt99:
download firmware from samfirmware.com, don't use ChekFusDownloader..

search for S5830M on samfirmware..

you will get list of all firmware available for 5830m

look for the one for your country and carrier..

http://www.hotfile.com/dl/193087968/5a59cff/S5830MUMLL1_S5830MTCELL1_TCE.zip.html

this is download link for telcel mexico for latest firmware..but it would be better if you look in samfirmware yourself and look for the latest firmware..

flash firmware via Odin_v3.07

don't use older one..

no need to split the firmware if you use Odin v3.07

just put the firmware file in PDA section

download odin 3.07 from rafael's skydrive (gt-s5830c > utilities > odin3_v3.07)

no need to use bootloader..

i have never used it..

so don't use it..

pit file is used for re-partitioning

use pit file only when system partition gets corrupt..

you can use pit file even when there is no need to...it won't harm your phone..

as far my research, s5830i = s5830m

so use the pit file from odin v3.07 (download it from rafael's skydrive..)
[Galaxy Ace S5830i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kebostek:
Thanks for your help. That's pretty much what I did. The flashing went without problem and I had the original rom running correctly, however it still had around 80mb of space without any apps installed so I guess the problem is the telcel rom itself. It doesn't surprise me much considering the quality I've come to expect from them.

I took the risk and flashed the S5830i stock and it went perfectly, it now displays the S5830i model at boot and everywhere else, but it's not a problem. So I can confirm that at least the model S5830M from telcel con be flashed with the S5830IXXLA4_S5830IOXXLA2_ATO_Repacked stock rom

I installed simplicity v5 over it and ended up with only 20mb of occupied space so I'm quite happy with how it turned out

Hello all,

I have tested a few roms, especially the 4.x roms (JT, CodefireX, ViperDHD, Moonraker) but I am really not impressed with the speed of these roms, ViperDHD takes 10 seconds just to open Chrome or Dolphin to visit any page!

Now I have Absolution and it works like a charm, fast and smooth as you can get it. But the eye wants more, I'd like to go back to 4.x. Are there any roms that are as smooth as Absolution?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reinaldo33897:
You do know that questions like this will get your thread shut down. All ROMs react differently to everyone. What may be fast to one phone may be sluggish on another. With that said I would suggest take PipelinerArds Open Kang and LordClockans IceCold 8.8 They are my favorites though they are no longer being developed but who cares. But again all ROMs react differently to everyone. So expect to be shut down by a mod.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogier121:
I actually assumed that the performance was quite equal over all users, what would make a rom fast on one device and sluggish on another? The govener? If that is the case I will accept it and just try some more roms.

Is there a list available with benchmarks for roms in one place?

Back to CM10.1 for me now!

If your phone reboots mid xperia that mean there is a system error.

With doom v6 kernel that is 4.1.1 based so that might be why you are getting bootloop if you are trying to flash kernel on a up to date 4.1.2 system

Hi guys,

I'm looking for a root that does only that: give me root access.

Is CASUAL really the only possible way to achieve root? If so, is it necessary that it unlocks the boot-loader and installs custom recovery to achieve this?

I probably wouldn't mind except that I'd like to just be able to do OTA updates as available, which I hear is not possible after running casual, and I really don't want to fiddle with custom ROMs as the stock Note 2 one works so well for me.

Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions...

-Paul
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
Odin and root66 will root your phone. If you recieve a OTA while rooted it will get rid of your root completely and you will have to re-root your phone, it also has the potential to do some wonky **** to it (ive even heard of bricks happening because of being rooted and accepting the OTA).

Once your bootloader is unlocked you wouldnt have to flash roms if you didnt want to unless you wanted to update to a new OTA.

I have been advised by o2 tech support to upgrade my ROM from

1.03.00 USA date <24 Sept 03> to the new version 16050 from their site.

The download is 25Mb in size, I have printed off the instructions on loading it but:

Questions

is this good advice?

what if any impacts will I notice on my XDa?

Why exactly am I doing this? - O2 seem a little vague, just cause it's the latest. you'll understand that this doesn't exactly inspire my confidence!!

is there an wasier/better ROM upgrade and can this be easily accomplished by a limited technical person with clear instructions in English at all please?

and finally

What were the key issues with ROM v1.66.??
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] cruisin-thru:
It is a very simple process, make sure your phone is fully charged, make sure you are using the usb port direct and not through a hub, enter usb/bootloader mode and execute the update on your pc. The good thing about using the official rom is that O2 will sort out your phone if the upgrade causes damage. The O2 site lists all improvements and bug fixes alongside the appropriate rom upgrade.

[Nexus 4 General] Freshly_Snipes:
The same reason Tv's have Grey bodies and black bezels. Mostly anything you watch that's back lit usually will have a black bezel because it's appealing for long time viewing, reading and less write strain and helps to not notice the bezel. A white bezel becomes a distraction to the eyes. You can actually Google this. It's true.
[Nexus 4 General] infinit22:
Because an all black screen is a nexus signature
[Nexus 4 General] compuw22c:
As I understand it, part of the reason there was such a long wait for one of the white iPhone models (maybe the 4), it was like 6 months before they could get the proximity sensor I believe it was to work correctly with the white face (may have also been the Ambient Light Sensor as well). I say it made it 1000x easier not to have to retest and adjust said sensors for the white model that will be surpassed and replaced in October anyways.
[Nexus 4 General] lokenok:
make one with both sides white but the sides black i think that would lookcool
[Nexus 4 General] draugaz:
I think it is because of the costs.

Nexus is a low production quantity and low cost project, so you have no chance to distribute those development costs among many millions of units.

While white back is probably a relatively inexpensive affair, a white LCD frame is probably in a whole different price league.

So they needed to decide: either all device fronts in white or all in black. Black won. And I am thankful for that.

[Nexus 4 General] bozint:
Few reasons

A sum of all these IMO.
[Nexus 4 General] jopherr:
the white front photoshop looks good because you didnt photoshop the bottom with the navigation keys. the black navigation keys work with black front because it creates the illusion that the keys blend into the bezel of the phone, which would be drastically more difficult with a white front (even if you were to make the soft keys white, there would be disparity with each phone display as its typically much easier to generate true black then pure white white)

personally I think this design looks way better than pure white. I wish more manufacturers would build their phones like this. I think the white GN is one of the best looking devices ever made.

Sorry if this is a old thread, but once it comes out in white you are going to see the white back replacements online just like the black ones are, and so all you need t do is purchase the white replacement back and swap them and wala you have a white nexus 4.

The update.zip isn't going to flash for you because of the asserts set in the updater script. Basically, once you flashed cyanogen your device no longer identified itself the same way.

[Kindle Fire 2 Q&A, Help and Troubleshooting] mindmajick:
The device name change doesn't effect the drivers. That only effects the update script. Once you are stock the device name will revert back

Make sure you have uninstalled all previous drivers for the kf.

99% of all the issues I see for this device are just driver problems.

So you are probably using the Google device drivers from another phone or windows update or such. Cm10 drivers seem to work out of the box, but of you want both to work use my method.
