Is there a way to install the recovery with goo manger app. When I try to install the recovery scrip it says that there is not a recovery found for the device. I do not have access to a computer at the moment and was going to try to install the recovery on the app.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Tower1972:
I do not believe so. The only thing I use Goo for is updating TWRP,,but as for installing it brand new..I am going with no. I had to manually install it after I unlocked my phone
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] godfirst:
You can take the recovery image that goo download and flash it through terminal emulator on your phone. Of course you have to know the commands.

I was wondering if i can root the vzw note 2 with casual and not unlock the device? is there a way to just use it to root the device? Im guessing that it actually unlocks the device and then the rom that i put on the device will be rooted? Ive spoke about rooting without unlocking before, I would prefer keeping the device locked for warranty reasons. Please help if its available. Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
that would depend on which stock rom youre using. I dont think there has been much demand for rooting without unlocking the bootloader, so Mr.Outler probably didnt consider it when creating casual. which is awesome..

It should be a relatively straight-forward process to return the phone back to stock using odin though. Even if your screen breaks or something you can still do it. provided you follow the directions on the forum post.

So:

If you have vraljb----Yes you can root without unlocking the bootloader

if you have vramc3---No you cant as of yet. Although, if i understood correctly, you can just use Odin to flash your phone to vraljb. But good luck cuz its a pain in the ass. make sure you have a list of instructions that has been confirmed to work because youll probably sitting with your phone and odin for an hour or more just retrying flashing the proper PIT files and such.

I'm kinda new to the S3 and have mainly stuck with TWIZ roms, I've tried a couple AOSP roms but found that the battery gets hot as hell quickly either while charging or using and the data connectivity is spotty at best on AOSP, I have LTE where I live but rarely see it on AOSP. I've updated PRL and profile and radios...but no luck...can anybody help or point me in the right direction? Thank...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eisawi99:
well generally twiz roms are more stable than aosp roms... so id stay in the TWiz sections... but thats all i can say
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lilman355:
AOSP ROMs typically run the CPU harder. While TouchWiz ROMs use more RAM. Thus why AOSP ROMs typically, emphasis on the 'typically', run hotter than TouchWiz ROMs. There are ways around this. For example, messing with CPU governors and settings. I have found ktoonsez has kept my AOSP ROMs fairly cool, relative to the default. Heat also means battery drain. So you will find here that TouchWiz ROMs normally have better battery life. I highly recommend CleanBean 4.1. Very nice ROM. Complete, stable, very quick and snappy. While no sacrificing battery life, as I was able to squeeze out about 14-15 hours. Good luck:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] solis888:
While I agree that AOSP ROMs use more CPU and TW use more RAM, for me AOSP had the best battery life. Espicially when I'm running ktoonsez kernel I get a good 3+ hours screen time and a total of 20 hours easily. While on a TW ROM running ktoonsez I get maybe 2 and a half hour screen time with a total of maybe 12-15 hours of total battery time. Also for me the only time my phone gets hot is when my phone is charging and I am using it constantly or I'm playing graphic driven games.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Flash freeza's md4 firmware then clean install Liquidsmooth 2.5 then their gapps, thats it, leave the kernel that comes with it. No more heat, everything works perfectly including LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
Just recently my phone too has become hot. But the only thing I've changed is the micro SD, from 32-64gb. Could that be the reason why?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
I doubt that would be the issue. You haven't changed anything else ? Such as OC'ing higher, or at all ? Switching Kernels ? Dropping the Device ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
Nein.

Some info:

Any ROM.

Always using stock kernel.

No tweaks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eisawi99:
have you downloaded any apps? they might be making your cpu work harder...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
I like to run my setup for a day before I download any apps, so no.

I've also wiped internal storage.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] eisawi99:
this is very strange. but you have flashed a new rom correct? that may be your issue... some roms come pre oc'd and not all phones can handle it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
What Rom are you running ? What Kernel ? What are your Min / Max settings for the Kernel ? Voltages ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] VikingoRMCF:
Previous page.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] prboy1969:
Must have missed that :p . At this point I would try a different Kernel. I suggest Ktoonsez Kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spark91:
If anyone is still having issues here.

Apps repeatedly doing wakelocks, Phone becoming hot while on standby or on charging indicates that theres a ton of background processes going while its charging.

And that includes weather updating, widgets with high refresh rate, auto-sync enabled automatically to turn on or off via file tweaks or utility applications.

I've been using CarbonRom and the only time it gets hot is when the phones at it's peak playing graphical games.

Mines is stock kernel but I have tweaked scripts that turn off my CPU's 2nd core while on standby,

and having SetCPU Auto clock the processor to be at its 2nd lowest to very lowest while screen off, and have

it clocked midranged 702-801 while screen on without doing any UV or OV.

I would also have force GPU Rendering checked and disable hardware overlays when im not using anything on the phone.

My battery life is 6-10 hours screen on web browsing, reading articles, watching movies / videos on netflix ~ Depends.

If I charged the battery and calibrate it and left it off standby without touching it, it can last around 3-4 day's depending on my

background wakelocks on messaging or any type of SMS or alerts recieved.

Also using Greenify to hibernate Ram hungry apps. and I'd usually freeze certain apps that aren't killable to save battery life.

Its way better than the JavoSkin one for the following reasons:

1. Better fit

2. More protection

3. Sturdier material

4. Smaller profile

5. Belt clip included (can be removed)

6. Flip up clear plastic screen protector (can be removed)

7. 3 Colors (the black rules!)

I've just rooted my device....first time ever, and just going through many of the lists of things to install and do. ROM Manager seems to be mentioned on every site. I installed it, was going to try and make a nandroid backup before I venture into flashing a custom ROM. First off, when I try to put in my Recovery Setup, I dont see the Galaxy S4 in the list of phones. Right now it just says Current Recovery: ClockworkMod 5.x.x.x

I thought this was correct, but when I go to "Reboot into Recovery" and try to make a backup....there is no option to make a backup on the startup list.

I've never used ROM manager before....have no idea what I need to change as I cant even find any GS4 listed. I was assuming I set it up incorrectly and thats why I couldnt backup. Anyone know what might be going on here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stringboi:
Any help here? I'm confused, to get ClockworkMod Recovery to install....you install ROM Manager correct? I've uninstalled ClockworkMod ROM Manager and reinstalled it, still dont have the option to select a GS4 and no option to make a backup when in recovery mode. I do need to use this to make a recovery of my phone if I flash a new ROM and want to go back correct?

Every video I've seen of people setting this up on their GS4, find a GS4 on the phone list....why dont I see one? Is there another component needed to use this properly?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bhp090808:
The current build of cwm recovery for this phone is not supported through rom manager. This phones recoverys are loki patched to bybass bootloader. Easiest way to install cwm is via my all in one tool in yhe development section. If you are already rooted choose preo for recovery step then install cwm steo. Full instructions and things to watch for are in the 1st post
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stringboi:
Ok so its not me...I thought I was going crazy here. Thank you so much!

BTW, does ROM Manager need to stay on the phone to do this? (sorry noob here)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stringboi:
I did as you said, everything went fine....but when I reboot in recovery, I still have no option to make a backup. This is the proper procedure to make a backup of your phone before flashing a custom ROM right, or am I going about this the wrong way? I want to make sure I cover my butt if I dont like one or screw it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bkhorn:
Did you install a recovery? If so which one?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stringboi:
I got it to work, I had uninstalled ROM Manager before doing this install method because I thought it was useless....didnt realize that it was needed to load the proper recovery. I'm all good now.....so far =)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] stringboi:
I got it to work and am able to backup to the internal SD, but I cant seem to get it to backup to my extSD. Every time I choose external, I get "Cant mount /external_sd" "Cant mount backup path" Using a 64gb Samsung card if it helps....

Thanks again!

We do not encourage best rom thread here in XDA.

You need to choose what rom to use.

1st, base your rom choice from feedbacks of other members.

Try all roms if you want.

Then, choose which of the roms is working best for you.

Happy hunting and enjoy flashing :D

[General Questions and Answers] laxan96:
Hey people reading this! So this is the deal I live in spain and my school is discussing make mobile phones such as android and blackberry allowed in teh school. But there´s a problem in Spain there´s a law that says you aren´t allowed to take a picture of somebody and upload it to internet without there permission. yes dumb I know but that´s the law and the school doesn´t want the students to get int trouble nor do they want to get into legal twists and so on. So my question is there a possibility to develop an app that uses the camera minimal usage like using no intake of light = black. So other apps can´t access the sue of the camera. And have it sync with the schools servers with the latest calender and so on. But the twist is is it possible without root access. I´m not very experienced in the android field but I would appreciate some heads up on this. My head tells me it would be possible on black berry android but not ios.

Thankyou for all your answers in advance, and also thankyou for you taking your time to read this.:good:

I am a dishonest man, and you can always honestly trust a dishonest man to be dishonest. Honestly it's the honest ones you have to watch out for.
[General Questions and Answers] laxan96:
I don´t think you understand

How it would be useful is cause the networks proxy server would send a push notification that autostarts the app and drops the connection to the device if the app was exited/terminated by the user. I know it´s possible to do it the question is, is it possible to do it without root accsess. That´s how schoool keep themselves out of trouble cause you wouldn´t be allowed to use your phone without being connected to the network. There will also be distruptors set around the school so no tele signals can be used which essentially kills of the problem with calls and SMS. Thankyou for your answer anyways tho :)
[General Questions and Answers] syung:
There are some problems with this logic:

1.) The connection to the device will most likely be a wi-fi connection, therefore killing that connection will not stop someone from uploading a picture using the mobile network

2.) You are talking about the school setting up cell disruptors around the campus. You might want to check whether this is legal with the laws in your country, as here in the US it is a felony to tamper with the cell networks using any sort of cell network disruptor.

3.) Since the camera can be used without a network, what is to stop someone from taking a picture of someone, then going home to upload it?

Now, to answer your questions, we would need more information. Are these devices being provided by the school, or are they BYOD (students bring their own devices)? If they are provided by the school, you can create a custom rom that does not have any assets for the camera, therefore any camera app would be forced to close, as they can't access the resources it needs. This would require root access. If it is BYOD, you face a much larger issue as forcing students to install an app that could potentially alter data on their devices might be in conflict with privacy laws in place in your country. Again, you would have to conduct more research into the legal issues that are brought up.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
Oh it is legal there and may be come legal here if things don't change soon. That same law will becoming to us soon don't doubt it. With the privacy concerns coming up we will see this sooner or later.

No to answer the OP. No you won't be able to do this without root. There are some companies that sell devices without cameras just for this purpose as alot of business don't allow camera phones in the building. That maybe you other option.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[General Questions and Answers] syung:
Are you referring to the use of cell disruptors? I highly doubt that this would ever become legal in the states, as the potential for abuse is too great. There is also other concerns that these can be used against law enforcement to block their communication, which could be bad during instances of conducting a search warrant, or to block emergency communication, which is why the use of cell disruptors is prohibited by the FCC in the first place.
[General Questions and Answers] zelendel:
We will see. I already keep 2 one in my car and one in my kids car. Activated when the car starts. If they do become legal completely I am sure that law enforcement will have other means.

Wayne Tech Nexus
[General Questions and Answers] laxan96:
Answering your questions

To answer you question yes this is a BYOD type of deal and how the school are going to keep themselves out of trouble, is that you aren´t allowed to use a cell phone without being connected to the network. The cell disruptors are legal and the privacy concerns are also green since there is ofc going to be a terms & conditions agreement to accept or decline the first time you open up the application. Ina ll honesty the school just wanna cover there asses so they don´t have problems in the future. So it´s not there problem anymore if someone kills the app and the phone disconnects from the network and they take a picture. Most people don´t use an autostart manager so it won´t be a huge problem either.

Now you say that it isn´t possible to do this without root access then we got an issue that isn´t solvable. Or is it just to complicated to develop? From what i understand they have the resources to do it if it´s possible.

Why I got involved in all this was cause I had kinda the same ideas and I was talking to one of the teachers and he told me that the principal teacher had similar ideas. So I went and talked to him, my thought process were let´s put our ideas together. Then he told me about this issue. And finally why I´m asking you all this is cause I don´t have any experience in programming alltho I do have a lot of experience with both computers and cell phones.

Thankx yet again for all your replies so far I appreciate it a lot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jayochs:
So here's something that's been on my mind ever since the GS3 got jellybean: the lag of the notification dropdown bar. to me, it's unbearable. it's laggier than stock android, but stock android became laggy with the jellybean release, too.

what do i believe is the culprit? the fact that google added in the shading of the screen behind the dropdown as it comes down. the ICS dropdown on both AOSP and touchwiz were flawless. on touchwiz, it was a perfect 60fps every single time. you could be doing a million things on the s3, flick down that dropdown, and it would come down in a perfect glorious 60fps every time.

then jellybean came. and the dropdown speed was cut in half. and it looks awful. it makes touchwiz feel even laggier/more bloated than it is.

so i'm wondering if any devs out there know of a way to tweak the notification bar so that dropping it down does NOT darken the screen behind it? just keeps it the same brightness, like ICS did. if so, i believe this will reduce the lagginess of the dropdown bar.

to test this theory yourself, do the following...slightly bring down the notification bar to where the screen is still bright, before the shading kicks in. now quickly move your thumb up and down really fast..notice how well the handle of the bar follows your finger? that's because it's 60fps. it looks smooth, rgiht?

now drop it down towards the bottom when it's almost fully down , and the screen is fully shaded behind it. do the same thing..move it up and down really fast with your thumb..notice how it lags behind your movement and just seems like the FPS is cut well over a half? i believe it's due to the shading. which may also be why when you flick it down quickly, it starts off smooth around the quick notifications and then just drops to a really choppy looking dropdown.

any takers? :)

hmm...nobody?
