I had to get a new phone. Money was tight and I wound up with this junker. I'm running a rooted stock rom (FC09) with all the sprint bloat removed. But its nothing but problems.

Instead of troubleshooting what's causing my problems, I'm just going to flash a new rom, and maybe kernal.

I've flashed other phones, so I know how to. But I don't know what rom to use. I want something slim / light, fast, stable and great battery life. Give me your suggestions for what rom to go with please.

Thanks

Aaron

Try Cyanogenmod 10. There is a stable build with 0 bugs, good battery life, performance, and customization. Not to mention Jelly Bean.

Thanks mac. You happen to know which version or have a link? Do you know how well jb (4.2) runs on this? I thought about trying jb, but this thing is only a single core 1ghz and I'm worriedit might run like crap.

I'm leaning towards either cm, pacman, aokp or hellybean. Pacman 18 and cm are my top choices right now. Just dont know which cm. I have to read about 7, 9 and 10 since I dont know the differences.

[Epic 4G General] frostedunit:
7 is GB, 9 is ICS, and 10 is JB.

If you're looking strictly from a speed and stability standpoint, CM 7 is the bee's knees. If you need the latest and greatest, 10 or one of the other 4.2 variations is it.
[Epic 4G General] Zagnutty:
Thanks frosted. Sounds like cm7 it is then!
[General Questions and Answers] Loldawg:
Heya,

So I had this idea where I'd unlock my PC with my phone. Here's how I thought it could work:

I have 2 users on my PC, me and my girl, however, on the same account, so no need to switch accounts. Depending on which phone I use to unlock it (via NFC, no idea how) it should:

For me:

- Unlock screen

- Run certain apps

- Set skype to online from away

- Play music

For girl:

- Unlock screen

- Run certain apps

- Leave skype away

- Play music

Upon removal of the phone from the dock (?) it should lock the pc and kill the apps etc. I know how to task all this but here are the questions:

- How do I lock my PC in such manner that it can't be accessed in any other way other then unlocking it with NFC (screen/keyboard/mouse lock, processes online should still be running)?

- How do I trigger all this with an NFC tag?

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] amigo_verdadero:
I don't believe there's any technology that would allow you to do that, currently. There'd have to be much tighter integration between your phone and desktop OS and I think if anyone is going to do that it's probably going to be Apple and not a random Android phone vendor.

I thought about the experience that you're trying to create and I think one way that could be realized in the future is if your phone IS your whole PC, and docking your phone just connects it to external resources: monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and other peripherals. When you're done, you just undock and someone else can dock their phone in. There could be kiosks for this in internet cafes and at the airport where you can work and charge your phone at the same time. Maybe the dock would connect you to wired internet service too, so while you were docked you didn't need to worry about mobile data coverage and usage. Phones are relatively limited in storage space but with network-attached storage and cloud-hosting you could have access to all the data you need.

Well those are my thoughts. Sorry I couldn't give you a solution but it might be 10 years too early for one.
[General Questions and Answers] Loldawg:
Damn. It sounded so good locking your pc with something you carry rather then having an usb just to unlock it. Oh well thanks for the reply I hope someone looks into it. Would enhance work security too, even if someone gained access to your work pc they would still need your phone to abuse it.

Thanks again!
[General Questions and Answers] mace2442:
The Idea isn't bad at all.

What you would have to do to get it to work is to write your own CSP to allow Windows to use your device as it:s logon credential.

IT's the same framework that smartcard pluggins andd so on uses so it's not impossible. MS built in the capability to extend the login functions but it won't be easy
[General Questions and Answers] Loldawg:
I'm basically looking to lock screen/keyboard/mouse only, not necessarily log out the user, as I want background programs to keep running. Now I have no idea if a PC can know which phone is tapped into the NFC. Basic idea would be to have sticker/reader on the desk, put the phone there and use PC. Upon removal, the PC would be locked. From what I understand, NFC has 2 modes (like connected and not) so it wouldn't be a battery drain. Or would it :o
[General Questions and Answers] mace2442:
locking/unlocking is handled through the same components as login/logout so it will be the same type of

code/system calls anyway :) It will be a lot less for only locking so it will be easier though :good:
[General Questions and Answers] Loldawg:
Aye =) I'm gonna dive into this, my dev is busy with some other work, but I think he can pull this off. Would be interesting to see it anyway, maybe do a GUI with basic functions like login skype to this user, play this music, open up this chrome etc.. Does a dime on effectivness with shared computers @ work or at home.

Next step might be to make user specific files - Sonya/Download for instance - inacessible for anyone but the owner.

If anyone knows an open source project that has some of the lock functions already, but is made for USB locks or anything, do let me know it will speed up the process. I plan on sharing the app here for free anyways ^.^

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noarmpits:
First off, I am completely new to the android operating system. Ive used iOS since the day the first iPhone was released and have always been in the jailbreaking scene since day one. I don't know any android lingo, so im not exactly sure what what to seach on this website to help get me out of this situation.

Today I rooted my phone, and installed clockwork mod. Watched a boatload of videos online of all sorts of things you can do with root. After installing CW, i rebooted my phone and it would get stuck small blue letters in the top left of the screen saying something about recovery, then continue to vibrate every few seconds. I was able to get the S3 into download mode and now i have no idea what to do with odin to get it to boot back up. Can anyone direct me to a thread that has a download link to re install the OS on my phone if that's whats needed?

Thanks :cool:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
The blue text is for entering recovery, did you install a custom recovery? And in the dev section stickied is root 66 firmware of rooted stock ROMs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] noarmpits:
Thanks for the quick response.

I Installed clockwork recovery (I believe that is a custom recovery, right?) right before I had this issue which i presume is the cause of the boot problem. Possibly a problem during installation? I just want to get the old recovery back along with my original android firmware.

I looked in the dev section and all I saw was custom roms. I just want the default 4.1.2 firmware back on my device.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
the top of the thread always consist of stickies (important things) and in this case there is a T999(V) Official, Leaked & Root66 FW & OTA Updates! this has links to ODIN packages and instructions there is everything you need there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Where did you get the recovery?

The thread mt3g mentioned is stickied in Android Development, not Original Android Development. In case you don't know, stickied means it is stuck at the top of the forum so its easy to find.

Its also linked in my signature.

You will want to use Odin to flash the root66 firmware.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junksecret:
I have a rooted Nexus 7 running JDQ39. It is no longer recognized by my laptop or desktop, regardless of the cable I use. I have used the same laptop/desktop for months without issue. I think it's a hardware failure but I'm open to suggestion.

Anyway, I bought it through the Playstore so I called them for support and they said they could see that I "may be using a rooted device" and told me that I would have to contact the manufacturer or carrier but if unroot and still encounter the issue they will be glad to "take a look". They followed the conversation with the email below.

So it's interesting (but not surprising) that they can tell remotely.

Anyway, any suggestions on how to get back to stock/unrooted without a PC connection?

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rebel1699:
I dont know about "calling in". But if you downloaded any app requiring root from the play store to that device, it would be a dead giveaway. Titanium backup, super su, rom manager............and the list goes on. That is most likely the reason the last line says "If you're not rooted". They are not "calling in", but simply looking at thier records (app history).

To the main problem, have you tried an alternate cable? I see you have tried multiple pc's, so the cable is the next step. That possibility needs to be eliminated before you can move on to a hardware and/or software failure.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rirere:
I'd agree with the person above: they likely flagged some root-requiring apps you have on your device and went by that. Google's policy on roots is pretty forgiving, though, to say the least.

In any event, there are some on-device methods you could pursue, but we need to know more about your setup on that side as well. In a similar vein as to what previous poster asked (namely about testing computers and cables), could you link us the method you used to root your device and also post what recovery you're using (stock, TWRP, CWM, etc.) and if you have your bootloader unlocked?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junksecret:
Thanks for the reply, I think I've exhausted the cable and usb port/pc/drivers as the cause. I actually now remember I hooked it up to my stereo and plugged into a cheap charger and got a pretty good spark at the micro usb and the tablet shut off. I left it plugged in and powered back up and thought all was fine. I now think that may have fried something in the micrco usb although it does charge thru it.

I think I rooted using wugfresh's rootkit, this is my 3rd N7 so not positive. I do have the bootloader unlocked and am running CWM Touch recovery.

Any links to a no-pc back to stock would be great!

Thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graydiggy:


Now we are getting somewhere. It seems you may have shorted a data pin when you plugged it in. I personally never use cheapo chargers. You could try replacing the USB port. If i am not mistaken, it is not soldered to the motherboard, but instead is soldered to its own harness and connected to the mobo via flex cable.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] davidzam:
Hi, I started this in here because, didn't know where :confused: messing around with this device, found this in the bin folder inside system:

Maybe you guys knew this already, but it appears that Sony put into the stock Jelly Beam (maybe in the ICS?) the zram swap functionality, and also, maybe, in the internal memory that we can't access dedicated to the system, they put in place a little swap partition of 60 mb, so, if that is true, I could be wrong, devs could create a swap.script as this one included by Sony itself, so we can be able to create a swap partition in the sd card of any size we want, apply the swappines we want? Just wondering, I'm not a developer, maybe some of you guys can do it.

I was also wondering is there's any problem if I just erase that script an use apps from the market such as Kernel tunner or Ram Manager Pro, to create a swap partition? Thanks.

Enviado desde mi ST27a usando Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TeamMex:
The zram is used to optimize the ram (compress some data)

Previously called Compcache

ZRam increases performance by avoiding paging on disk and instead uses a compressed block device in RAM in which paging takes place until it is necessary to use the swap space on the hard disk drive. Since using RAM is faster than using disks, zRam allows Linux to make more use of RAM when swapping/paging is required, especially on older computers with less RAM installed

cheers.

PD:Sorry my bad english
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] davidzam:
But is it possible to edit that script (the one that comes with the phone Jelly Bean) to make it bigger? Or, maybe delete it and replace it with the swap files that apps like Ram Manager Pro or Kernel Tweaker on market do? With Ram Manager you can create a swap up to 256 mb and with Kernel Tweaker up to 1 gb, the problem with those apps is that they create those files in /data in root partition. Maybe it's possible to create a swap partition on the Sd Card? And also apply any swappines value we want to? The stock kernel clearly has support for zram... The problem is that I'm not a developer, so no codes are possible :banghead: I'm just trying to get someone to do it... It would be great... Thanks TeamMex...

Enviado desde mi ST27a usando Tapatalk 2
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] TeamMex:
U can add more zRam or change zram to Swap partition only need change some lines on zram script

and on this script u use zram as SWAP partition :P

but u can use other swap managers

#!/system/bin/sh
#zram moved to swap partition or increasse

ZRAM_SIZE=90

if [ $# -gt 0 ]
then
ZRAM_SIZE=$1
fi

echo $(($ZRAM_SIZE*1024*1024)) > /sys/block/zram0/disksize <--- u can change this line to swap partition

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] davidzam:
The main problem is that the Ram, never gets empty

So applying swap using any app from market, all that it does is use precious space from internal memory for nothing really.

Requesting a ROM doesn't mean someone will build it. This is a three, bordering on four year old device not to mention developers don't have much time to maintain it; I work during the nights as I don't have time during the day. Other developers only get an hour or two free, and they've got girlfriends, boyfriends, husbands, wives, children and friends that have to come first.

I know it's not the answer you wanted but you may want to give ROM building a try if you really want a ROM that specific. It's a great learning curve.

Yea it was 80% while I was on Recovery, when it suddenly turned off. :(

Anyway, I took it to the service center, for what I've read here in the forums, it's either:

1. Hard bricked because of a corrupted bootloader, so using something called JTAG should bring it back to life.

2. It has the Sudden death syndrome. :(
