[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidostein:
Hey I know people don't usually like these type of questions, but I have done a lot of searching and can't find what I'm looking for.

I want to flash a ROM on my Captivate that is based off of a Samsung ROM. I really like the look and feel of the S2 and S3 ROMs. It seems like all custom ROMs are based off of the Nexus version of 4.2 and I don't like it as much.

Does anyone know of a ROM that is based on Samsung 4.2 and has a similar look and feel?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
Google Nexus devices use clean Google Android OS with stock Vanilla UI

Samsung ROMs are based on Google AOSP with Samsung TouchWiz UI

Custom ROMs are based on Google AOSP or CyanogenMod, theming allows UI you like

CM10.1 based ROM + Galaxy S3 theme will give you close to stock Samsung UI look.

Take a look at Avatar ROM + Galaxy S3 theme, for example. Stable ROM with good support.

YouTube S-Off

How to S-Off HTC One without a PC.

As you can see from the video I am running ViperRom with stock kernel, from what I understand some kernels will cause S-Off to fail. Must be rooted to use this method. Also this will break Hot reboot, but doing an RUU will fix this but also wipe all your data.

Download Revone here http://revolutionary.io/revone OP is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314582

Once its downloaded move to data/local/tmp

Then open terminal

Type the following

su (enter)

cd /data/local/tmp (enter)

chmod 755 revone.bin (enter) (some users may have to remove the .bin if thats you remove it from all of the lines)

./revone.bin -P (enter) (Capital P is needed)

Reboot

open terminal

cd /data/local/tmp (enter)

su (enter)

./revone.bin -s 0 -u

Reboot.

To remove "tampered"

open terminal

cd /data/local/tmp

su

./revone.bin -t

As a life long Samsung user this who'll SOff confuses me I'm rooted I can flash ROMs and kernals so why do I want SOFF is it so I can make my device look like its not tampered and flash a radio if I ever choose?
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
Main advantage is you can have super cid which means you can flash any ruu and get 1st updates, for example my hox is 3 branded and I got jb update 2 months later then unbranded devices if I had s-off I could have updated asap it got released, another thing is SIM unlocking.

Aside from that there's not many other advantages, of course you can run custom bootloader, write to any partition, this more of a advanced user stuff then regular flasher stuff.
[One (M7) General] snowwhite007:
I always use custom ROMs that usually update quickly I might soff just to remove tampered in case I need to send to HTC or EE for repair thanks

---------- Post added at 08:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:36 PM ----------

When will the official told drop rather than the preview?
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
You can also flash radios with s-off.
[One (M7) General] MEETMRSCARFACE:
Holy **** what did you just say
[One (M7) General] demongrim:
Hmm, adding the .bin to chmod 755 revone or to /revone doesn't seem to work for me. I have to remove that to make it work and thats how I got S-Off. Weird. Maybe its because I have a developer edition or I'm on dricktroid 7. Anyway, a really good guide. Thanks.
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
Thanks for the input. I did two phones and one I have to use .bin and the other I didnt so I will add that to the guide.
[One (M7) General] Shan89:
You missed my point mate , yes you can flash small firmware updates but for example when the android 4.3 or android 5 arives it'll most likely have Hboot ( bootloader ) update , and if you're locked onto some network with their cid = you wont recieve update for sure at least 1month if not more vs the others who will have it the same day it got released.

That would be one of the main adventages. Tho if you're patient guy/girl and can wait for career ( if you're even on the career ) then this is no issue for you :P

Another good thing would be adding cid for stock android edition from the HTC google edition = have pure stock + receive updates from google itself.

Of course this maters only if you like AOSP at all :P

Either way S-OFF is great thing to have. At least for me.

Aside from all this you can also unlock your bootloader without even using HTC Dev , you can S-OFF without root / unlocked bootloader via HTC.dev and unlock / relock / lock bootloader along with removing all the traces of your phone ever being flashed = warrenty wasn't voided :P This was huge issue on HTC One X , many warrenties were denied just cuz of bootloader was unlocked even tho that software had nothing to do with for example *wifi bug* that we had. This way HTC cannot decline your warrenty even if you did f@ck up something which is the joy of this :P

Think of it as .. hmm well you can pretty much do whatever you want to your device and in case you mess things up you can always go back for warrenty , tho if you brick your phone there still shouldn't be a way for them to tell were you messing with the software since the phone is dead :P
[One (M7) General] EnIXmA:
When I type the second command it says invalid option -p

Revone successful

Edit:- nm. It was just the capital P causing the problem. M s off now
[One (M7) General] EnesGTR:
Sry, my English is not the best, and I didn't understand everything what stands in the first post.

If I do this now, what happens really?

Do I have to flash my Rom from the beginning? Or is everything the same, just with S-OFF?

Is anything gone, like my sd card?
[One (M7) General] demongrim:
So it depends on the phone?
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
I think it depends on what browser you use to download the revone file with. I could be wrong on this.
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
Your English is fine. Nothing gets wiped you will just have s-off after. However this breaks hot reboot and I guess to get it back you have to run the RUU which will wipe your phone. I dont use hot reboot myself so I just left things as is.
[One (M7) General] EnesGTR:
Hot reboot...

Is this the quick start option?
[One (M7) General] tacotino:
So first command worked, rebooted. Opened terminal got this. What should I do now?
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
I would just start over. if you are on custom kernel that could be the problem.
[One (M7) General] ryanp1983:
Cheers OP, worked a charm
[One (M7) General] B-Man2005:
what are all advantages of s-off please ??

can i flash any hboot with s-off ?

thanks
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Got error code 1, running trickdroid, can i just clarify what rom i would need to be on to get this to work please?

---------- Post added at 03:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

Same here.
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
It doesnt work 100% of the time, hence the dev edition. Just run it again. The only thing I know of that will make it fail is custom kernel, so if your using one just flash the stock kernel.
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
Yes, but like I said running the RUU will fix it.
[One (M7) General] cjm1979:
Same problem for me. After reading this I realised. Cheers.

All done, thanks OP.
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Ahhh I see, many thanks I'll give it a whirl. Cheers m8

---------- Post added at 08:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 PM ----------

Yea the ops p didn't work for me, a capital P Is what was needed. With that in mind would having a capital U or S make any difference? As when I tried to change the U it gave me an error code ü
[One (M7) General] kleen3r:
+1 on this.

To OP, please update to show -P (capital P).

Everything else is lowercase for anyone else following this guide.
[One (M7) General] dlads:
Ok so flashed the mod whilst on a stock kernel and it's all golden now, many thanks to who replied to me, glad this was achieved and many many thanks to the guys responsible, we all owe you our warranties ;)

---------- Post added at 09:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 PM ----------

You can relock your phone and get it fixed by htc on your warranty, i think that enough is worth using this. Not to mention that you can do a whole load of other stuff which has already been documented, check older HTC Devices for benefits of S-Off, there are many.
[One (M7) General] rd2000:
AWESOME! thanks !

Took me all of 5 minutes to get S-off :)

Where do you find the data/local/temp folder on your phone? Or is that a folder you have to create?
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
Download FX file explorer from the market, open it and click on system (root) and you should see the data folder.
[One (M7) General] dinoc:
Thank you for this.

I'm S-OFF , root, and unkocked now.

Can you have S-OFF and still have Fast Boot option, too ?

Do you know the steps to re-enable the Fast Boot ?
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
Find an RUU for your carrier and flash it, this will wipe all your data on your phone though but fix fast boot.
[One (M7) General] scottiejon:
Worked for me on Trickdroid

Running Trickdroid 7.5 and worked perfectly first try. With .bin used. Make sure you use spaces where needed, almost didnt catch a couple myself

You don't need s-off to flash radios chief
[One (M7) General] Iamnorthener:
Excellent :good:
[One (M7) General] ScudMuffin:
A question. So, I've decided to just go back to stock locked. I want that "TAMPERED" tag removed. So I will need to unlock, re-root, then s-off, remove the TAMPERED tag, then I can re-lock and flash RUU back to stock and that should look like it's new out of box? Or do I need to S-on before?
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Has anyone tried this running Viper ROM and Elementals kernel?

I'm looking to try this but I'm concerned I could brick my phone if it's done incorrectly, also is that Android Terminal Emulator app that is used to enter commands?

Cheers
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
After 4 attempts i managed to get s-off good stuff, how though do I get rid of the red text "this build is for development purposes" when the phone boots up.

I believe now I can also flash custom boot animations now I'm s-off.

Thanks again muchas gracias :)
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
I think you would have to S-on before, but I am not positive.

You aren't going to brick your phone, yes all commands are entered through Android Terminal Emulator.
[One (M7) General] secfincorp:
thanks this worked great

I really appreciate this tutorial. Worked great and was quick. Thanks.
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Now I have s-off how can I remove the red text when I boot up?

[One (M7) General] jokosher:
Thank u 4 useful guide.Pls this method for One only or all HTC??
[One (M7) General] Jikstah:
I thought you could re-lock, unlock without superCID? And is it possible to get Google Edition OTA updates if you use the right CID?

Thanks :]
[One (M7) General] jonny68:
Anyone know this?

Cheers
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
I know there are files you can flash to mask it I have seen them floating around but the only sure way I know of doing this would be to relock bootloader and use the moonshine method which installs a advanced hboot with no red text.
[One (M7) General] Dark Fable:
So this will work on hboot 1.54 ?
[One (M7) General] Mrs.Martin0928:
How did you manage to root your HTC one?
[One (M7) General] alray:
Rooting the M7 only requires to unlock its bootloader, flash latest twrp and flash latest supersu.zip from twrp.
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
This post is only a few years old and this exploit doesn't work anymore.
[One (M7) General] alray:
Revone is still working for ppl on the old hboot 1.44

and btw his question was "how to root". Replying that this s-off exploit doesn't work anymore when he asked how to root make no sense nor quoting me...

maybe you should read again:

But no worry, your might be a little confused [MENTION=1285063]Konfuzion[/MENTION] ;)
[One (M7) General] Konfuzion:
I'm the OP, didn't even bother to read the post. Reviving a very old post and a very old exploit is kinda pointless. I should have read your post before quoting, however trying to use this method at this point will fail unless you happen to be on a very old hboot. And why ask how to root in an old s-off thread?
[One (M7) General] alray:
Junior member, he might be confusing s-off/root/unlock bootloader. I would agree with you if he had posted this question in the "post your picture taken with the M7" thread but he tried to post in the correct thread instead of creating a new one. Exactly what new members are told to do in xda forum rules.

Maybe, but answering and quoting ppl without reading them, only because you are the OP of this thread is much pointless imo ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aumkar:
Hey guys,

Not very well versed with how the custom ROM scene is with the note 2 but why is it that fix permissions is so quick with the touchwiz stock ROM that I'm using? Does it really fix permissions, or is it just not necessary?

Also, I was considering the revolution HD ROM. I imagine that I'd have to wipe data before I move over but my question is, how is the battery life on such ROMs, i.e.touchwiz compared to the stock ROM? I'm barely getting 5 hours screen on time.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simone:
For your second question,

The developer of Android Revolution HD is a legend on XDA. So expect good results.

It's close to stock and great battery life.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aumkar:
Thanks. I'd still like to know why is fixing permissions so messed up. I used to use it to fix my general problems all the time.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
Well here you go, if fixing permission is fixing your problems than it mean it works fine.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aumkar:
Well it isn't. I used it on my G2 to fix wakelocks and such. Now it doesn't do anything on this Note II.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kremata:
What are you using to fix the permission?

CWM, TWRP, Titanium?

Anyway maybe you can try another app than the one you normally use.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aumkar:
If I use ROMManager, it takes a VERY long time and shows that no permission has been set at all.

If I use TWRP, it's instantaneous.

I haven't done it in CWM or Titanium at all.

[Nexus 4 General] mohan_168:
I am wondering if we have a task manager/process explorer app for Nexus 4? Currently I am using AirDroid v2 that includes a task manager, but I am looking for one with more options.

I travel a lot & would like to kill as much unwanted applications running in the background as possible to conserve battery.
[Nexus 4 General] jamesc760:
There is no more need to use task killer to manage android systems any more. You will be doing more harm than good, in fact there is no good in killing tssks manually.
[Nexus 4 General] mohan_168:
Point noted.

But when I use Airdroid task manager, I see a process when the corresponding app is not running the background.

To mention a few; Cut the rope free, stocks & Hill climb racing.

Few system process like picasa uploader, chrome etc.

As you said andoird may optimize most of them, but I would like some control when running thin on battery.
[Nexus 4 General] rayiskon:
use greenify https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify&hl=en to hibernate any persisting apps/processes (except system). apps relaunch when you open them.
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
Killing apps and then having to reload them actually uses more battery than them being dormant in the background and already loaded when called upon. The problem is when you have misbehaving apps that stay in the foreground eating up cpu, instead of going dormant into the background. And this does happen. I use an app called Watchdog that alerts me when this happens. It allows you to kill the app when this happens. It also allows you to whitelist and blacklist apps and processes.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
main phone setting, apps, running.. default task/process manager. in the top right will be an option to show cached process as well.
[Nexus 4 General] fernandezhjr:
We all know that is there. The op mentioned wanting more options, mainly monitoring and kill options.
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
fast reboot(free), but the paid version i like better https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot&hl=en
[Nexus 4 General] mohan_168:
rayiskon, I will try greenify & let you know how that helps.

fernandezhjr, I agree restarting app is not an optimal way, but I require to squeeze battery to atleast make phone calls when I am away from charging options.

simms22, fast reboot looks promising. I'll try the free one for now and take it from there.
[Nexus 4 General] Johmama:
It's kind of already been said, but I want to clarify as much as possible.

Apps running dormant in the background (using RAM) use no more power than if it weren't running. This is because all of the memory you have is being refreshed all the time, the controller has no idea whether there is actually data there, it still refreshes the entire space of memory.

Apps running "dormant" but using CPU do use more power than if it weren't running. I assume OP is wanting some sort of monitoring app that shows which apps are using CPU, in which case is fine. If OP is wanting to kill all apps that he isn't using at the time to conserve battery, then he would actually be doing the opposite of what he wants, as it requires to CPU to spin back up to restart it later. Again, the difference here is RAM vs CPU, one doesn't use battery (or rather, uses the same amount of battery, no matter how much of it is being utilized), and one can use more or less battery depending on how much it's used.
[Nexus 4 General] mohan_168:
Thanks for the detailed explanation. I understand killing process, shutting down cached process or apps & later restarting them is only going to fire up the CPU usage which completely defeats the purpose of conserving battery.

Though not a daily ask, at times I am stuck in situation where a phone call or SMS is all I need to keep me going.
[HTC Inspire 4G] unhh:
I plugged my phone in last night and when I woke up today it was off. I pulled out the charging cord and held the power button with no effect. Thinking the cord may have slipped partly out and let the phone die, I plugged it back in and was greeted by the battery charging screen, showing full charge. I pressed the power button and the phone went black. On further investigation, it seems my press of the power button didn't have to do with it turning off, as whenever I plug it in it shows the full battery screen for a couple of seconds before turning off again. If I unplug it and plug it back in it just repeats this. I've reseated the battery, I've tried holding volume down and the power button, and nothing's changed the phone's behavior. The phone is completely stock, and never opened beyond the battery and card doors.

It's pretty old and I'm pretty sure I do have an upgrade available, so I'm not too upset if I have to buy a new phone, but I'd like to confirm that it is FUBAR before I go that far, and I'd like to be able to extract my data if possible. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bananagranola:
If you have access to another battery, you could try that, but since you're seeing the full battery symbol I'm guessing that that's not the issue. You can always recover your sdcard data by putting it in a card reader, but the phone's apps, app data, and settings may be more difficult.
[HTC Inspire 4G] unhh:
Well, turns out the problem was much less serious than I thought: my charging cord has bitten the dust. I'm not sure why I've been seeing the full battery, but when I took it to the AT&T store, the person who helped me plugged it in and it started right up. I just need to get a cable that's not my years-old piece of crap that came with the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] seniorstew:
Is there a mod that changes the 4g signal icon to LTE? Running carbon ROM halo nightly. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dannyben:
The 4G is for H+... LTE is for, well LTE. Sure it won't switch when you do have LTE???
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dannyben:
Yes.... But that means you're in a 4G area. When you're in an area that has LTE it should switch to LTE.... provided you have the right APN set.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Brutal Pineapple:
He is right. T-Mobile started rolling out LTE last week. Here in SoCal I've had LTE since Tuesday morning. I also changed my apn settings. Heres a screenshot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] seniorstew:
And just to be clear I am on lte here in san Diego
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dannyben:
Well.... Need a lot more info then...

Fits the rom/nightly support lte?

Do you have the apn set & selected?

Run a speed test & see what you're downloading at.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] seniorstew:
ROM supports it if I'm not on lte it says DC for dual channel hspa
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Brutal Pineapple:
Those results seem really high for hspa! They look like my lte results. Riverside for me too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] R.Suave:
The op is correct in saying that the LTE icon does not show when connected to LTE. It only shows the 4g icon (on a CM based rom). To be sure, I am using the app Network Signal Info Pro. This brings back the original question, is there a way to change the icon to reflect being connected to LTE?

Or does the 4g icon only show when connected to LTE?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamison904:
Yes. This is very simple as well. Download 7zip, Google it, it is free as well. Then pull the SystemUI.apk either from your deceive or the ROM itself. Then right click and under 7zip option choose explore archive. Then navigate to the res/xxhdpi and drag and drop it to your desktop. Do not close the archive yet. Then option the xxhdpi folder and find the 4G icons and the LTE icons and move to another folder. Now rename your LTE icons the exact name of the 4G icons. Last take the new 4G named LTE icons and drag and drop them into the xxhdpi folder of the archive. Now close the archive and 7zip will compress the icons and add them without breaking the signature. If you do it any other way it will break the apk signature and not install. Last if you are running Linux like the rest of the developers here you will just double click the apk to open the archive.

Now again this is to just change the icon and nothing else. You will see LTE instead of 4G now. :cool:

Or if you want to learn to do it the right way, click the link in my signature titled developers workshop.

I have root access of ma phone
[Samsung Galaxy S II Plus] D0MIS:
Yes you can i think that you can just copy files and move it from internal memory to external SD card you just have to find the game files. Or i think you can use program like App2SD
