Ok, so I froze S-voice in titanium backup, then wiped cache in twrp, rebooted and it worked!! The home button delay is gone when switching from other screens to my home screen. I defrosted S-voice and so far so good, my note 2 is still very responsive.

Lets see if the delay happens again. If it does I will clear cache without defrosting S-voice to see which one was the culprit. I would tend to agree with shangrila500 that its the cache.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Set s voice to not open when you double click the home button. Unless I misread this thread. That causes alot of delay. Hell I never even use s voice anymore haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pharmnatr:
It never occurred to me that the "open s-voice by double clicking home button" setting might be slow down my responsiveness but thats the case. Unchecking the box has made a noticeable difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I only remember that from the s3. It was a legit night and day difference haha. Thought the home button was broken on that phone till I tried that

OK so I don't know about others but I personally have gone through two sd cards running sdbswap on beans. I finally decided to backup stuff online too and found a great free option. Its called copy and it has an android app as well as desktop app. You get 15 GB free, plus, and here is the kicker, for everyone you refer if they sign up and install the app you get an extra 5gb. I already have 22 GB as I signed my wife up without asking he he. Anyways I will post a referral link. You sing up and install app on phone or computer and boom you have 20 GB free storage, and I get 5gb more too. Also there is no cap on referalls so you can get a tb if you know that many friends for free. https://copy.com?r=mAwZHm

My HTC WFS has the model id PG76200. I've looked at a few of the PG76IMG.zip recovery files floating around and none seem to have the right modelid. I'm concerned that I might brick the phone if I apply the wrong one.

If you've managed to root such a phone I'd appreciate a pointer to the instructions for it.

Thanks,

I had pacman flashed before and it worked great. Then I played with other ROMs. Well I really liked pacman and so I went back. But I'm having some issues. I. Using the kt747 3.4.47 kernel.

Equalizer not sounding as good

System UI crash

Keyboard - jelly bean keyboard lag

Random reboots when I turn screen on

phone freezes, if I wait and dont push the screen impatiently a box pops up asking wait or close. I select wait and AIDS good.

Google voice app slow to send messages or doesn't send at all or sends and says not sent and I send the recipient 100 duplicate messages (exaggerating a bit)

Other than that its a great ROM, love the amount of control I have over the whole phone.

Kudos to LOTK for PacMan

Any ideas in how to fix any of this?

When you reinstalled pacman, how did you install it? What steps did you take (wiping, order of the install, what versions)?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prog_Prodigy:
I did in order: factory wipe, cache, then dalvik. then I flashed PacMan. after rebooting recovery(cwm) I flashed the KT747 latest release. And Pac-Man RC1. Like I said, the first time round, it worked perfect. I loved it. but it was an earlier build then.

Added: last time I used this rom I dont recall if I used the stock rom or the kt747. The kernel I have i got from Ktoonz website, I didnt use the one that they provide the link for on their thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2028443&highlight=kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Casper34:
Try this...

Factory wipe, wipe both caches, install rom, wipe caches, install gapps, wipe caches, reboot.

Dont install any apps, just let the phone sit for about 30 minutes. After the 30, make a call, text and use the net. Reboot recovery... install the kt747. Wipe caches, reboot... let sit for 30 minutes, then install your apps from the store, DO NOT install a TIBU backup.

If that does not work.... :rolleyes: .... remove your ext sd card, format, wipe, caches, rom, caches, reboot. Let sit for 15, reboot recovery, kernel, caches, fix permissions, caches, reboot.

Hi all,

After browsing through the forum, I have heard some good comments about the Imate latest ROM.

I recently had the 02 Xda 2's ROM (v1.12.162_178) which wasn't to bad. I updgrade it 2 the 02 source. (http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIs_launchROM.htm v1.12.62_178)

Since then :evil: My phone crashes alot and works very very slow.

Can anyone help me get the old ROM back or install and configure the Imate ROM (which is supposed to be good).

Thanks

as long as it is ICS, i'm pesimistic this rom could satisfy users by saying "it's fast". sorry this may really sound offensive, but i just wanna say the truth. i've been using ray since 2011 and been changing rom over and over. my conclusion, ICS was not meant to live for ray.

you could prove me wrong if you want to. i'll really appreciate if you start using JB as base. good luck!

Good find!

The irony is that people keep insisting that the crack sites are the ones with malware, and 'as long as you only buy apps on the play store, you will be fine'. Fact is that ALL the Android malware is found on the Play Store.
[General Topics] pulser_g2:
My desktop AV detected it immediately. (ESET).
[General Topics] Jarmezrocks:
That's it I am removing avast. I got the ****s with AVG with so many false positives, and their automatic SMS cleaner that labels SMS and moves them to the top of your Mms view with tags that cannot be removed and no way of undoing them. Removed.

AVAST, constantly marking WifiKill as a Trojan app with no means for user to whitelist, and now can't even detect a real Trojan. Pathetic, being removed very shortly.

What are you using if you don't mind me asking? And the apk, you downloaded it and your desktop computer detected it as a Malware app?

What do you use on your device?

My PC is always clean cause I have Virtual Machines to run any suspect packages I find. I have specific built machines running services that mask that they are a VM, a lot of very smart malware these days run detection for all sorts of things prior to execution. I let known malware run ramped in my VM and then inspect the aftermath. Sometimes the machines are unbootable so I run a secondary image and mount the .VHD to the functional VM and go snooping.

Best I have seen to date is a crazy Virus that utilises Windows extended attributes for parsing commands. Man that was a very well thought out Virus, I kinda do have to give some credit to the hacker who thought up these kinds of things.

For every day use I run Microsoft Security Essentials as backup "plan B" normal web browsing. Browser is sandboxed. Downloads drive is an encrypted virtual volume.

Can we run a duplicate image on our devices (kind of like a 2nd ROM similar to say Siyah Kernel runs) and VM front? I head that you can "log into" a mounted VM image on your phone via VPN and QEMU?
[General Topics] pulser_g2:
I use ESET smart security for my desktop like I said (mostly for the firewall tbh). The AV is very good. Detected this APK file soon as I downloaded it, and stopped it from being saved to the HDD :)

RE second image, there is some vmware stuff coming out soon, but needs kernel modules compiled in. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vmware.mvp

I have to say that is pretty good going for a PC app to detect the apk and stop it downloading :cool:

Up to you - I say go for it, the files are sitting on the market right now... Anyone can get them from there and get infected.

Yes, that's why I do it :) ESET are not ones to shy away from calling "malicious" if there is fair confidence. I checked it out and it was a heuristic detection match :)
[General Topics] Jarmezrocks:
For anyone following.

The zip has all of my analysis contained.

1) The main apk used

2) Typical dex2jar decompile

3) APKTool 1.5.2 (latest) decompile to smali

4) My own personal decompilation process with several iterations of optimisation (been running for the last hour or so) with as pur java output as you can probably get. Much better for analysing these kinds of apps

5) My own stripped version of the apk that still contains the executing code of the apk (has had permissions revoked and heaps of junk removed) if you decompile this app you will see what I mean. I have done a fair bit of the hard work, there is still a fair bit more to be done though.

Download from skydrive here:

Well, that guy went into impressive lengths to mask the malware as a live wallpaper. I think this thread should be a good reminder to everyone not to trust anything from the app store unless confirmed by yourself.

Is there anyway to run a phone with restricted permission and access to data? Like sandboxie for Windows? From now on, I am going to log app behavior and probably not install them directly from the app store.

I am shocked at the organised and calculated criminal energy of these type of people.

Hi folks,

I tried to flash the most recent CWM version this morning and something didn't go right. Been stuck at the U boot screen when attempting to boot from internal, but thankfully I can still boot from an SD. I've been going through this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2293970 and encountered something unexpected. I'm hoping someone can advise on how to proceed.

I note that my media and userdata partitions are different from the guide due to my having resized them quite a while ago. I would really appreciate advice on what changes to make to the commands to retain a larger userdata partition.

Thanks in advance!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] rojasc:
I'm no expert but I can give you a few suggestions.

First question, why are you trying to create a factory partition over the existing factory partition? The only partition that seems to be damaged is userdata (that's partition 11). It should have an ext4 file table not raw. The error message is to be expected, can be fixed or ignored (ignoring it is just more annoying than fixing it), shouldn't hurt anything. I've had the problem you described when flashing a bad rom or cwm, check to make sure you have the correct cwm for the rom you are using and reflash the correct cwm and it should fix the problem or flash a custom rom that comes with its own cwm. Do a search for fixing bootlooped or broken recovery and you should come up with a ton of helpful info.

Another thing you can try is to power up your NT using the supplied power cable, newer NTs have a glitch that requires it to be booted this way after altering the recovery or boot partitions.

P.S. use extreme caution when messing around with any partition other than 10 and 11 (media and userdata) as you can cause a hard brick.

Thank you for all the info. Unfortunately the poor thing is going from bad to worse. I went back to this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1605664, backed up mmcblk0p5, wiped all partitions and rebuilt 'em all... Rebooted from the SD, flashed AOKP... Nothing unexpected in that process, but now trying to boot from emmc does nothing--not even a splash screen. Plugging in the stock cable, holding down power, nothing brings the screen to life. It can still boot from an SD card, but I'm not sure what to try next to get booting from emmc working again. :(

Would try the ubuntu restore method, but my sd cards are only class 2.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
Adam Outler's Ubuntu Total Re-Flash only will work with 16GB Tablets (if that's what you have). It will rebuild the partitions for you. Don't attempt to flash any ROMs before you fix the partitions.

You can use an SDC version of CM10.1 to see what's going on.

http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...-2-jellybean-sdcard-img-for-nook-tablet-0416/

Just write the image file to your SD card and put it into your nook. It will boot it right away. All data is stored on the SD card, not internally.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] InUrKitchin:
I do have the 16GB model, just no class 4 or higher SD card. If need be I could buy one.

Here's where I'm at now. Booting from that SDC (CyanoBoot, CWM 6.0.3.1, CM 10.1), pretty much everything works:

If I choose to boot from INT BOOT, it works (CM 10.1).

If I choose to boot from INT RECOVERY, it works (CWM 6.0.2.5).

If I choose to boot from SDC BOOT, it works (CM 10.1).

If I choose to boot from SDC RECOVERY, it works (CWM 6.0.3.1).

Booting without an SDC, nothing--screen does not even turn on. Would greatly appreciate any suggestions for next steps.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] datallboy:
So you have CM10.1 installed on your internal. You can write the bn_142_factory_recovery.img to your SD card and put it into your NT. It will flash the stock ROM for you. Once you get the green checkmark just take out the SD card and it will be back to normal. If you get the "red x" that usually means the BOOT partitions is messed up (or all the internal partitions.)

At this step use Adam Outler's Total Reflash with a 4+ Class SD card. It saves the hassle of rebuilding the partitions yourself.

By the looks of it you just wrote the CM10.1 ROM over the stock by internally flashing recovery. You shouldn't put CWM recovery on the internal drive because it usually leads to problems.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] InUrKitchin:
Thank you, I think I'll take your advice. Maybe I'll find a 64 GB on sale somewhere for Father's Day. :)

Edit: About saving the hassle of rebuilding the partitions, I was looking at this page and it doesn't seem to include manually rebuilding the partitions as being required. Am I missing something?

To avoid problems I should only ever run CWM from SD cards? Can do--I just want to be sure I'm on the same page. I had thought (in my very limited experience) that it was common to have it all in EMMC.
