[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ProjectShadow316:
A few months ago I rooted my Plus because of Samsung's apparent inability to deliver Jelly Bean to my device. After realizing I have no idea what to do with ROMs, flashing, etc., I figured I'd wait it out until the official update was released. Sure enough it was last month, but I have yet to get a notification saying an update was available.

Will I ever get a notification, or do I have to unroot ( need help on that, though I think I know now )? Additionally, is the update OTA or through KIES?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] skurys:
Root shouldn't affect update notifications. Though those only notify if an update is rolled out for your own region and/or carrier. Depending if you have the 6200 or 6210 model only certain regions have JB available, however this doesn't stop you from flashing a rom from a different region. I have a canadian 6210 and running the UK/Ireland 4.1.2 with no ill effects to report and it's pretty sweet!

I am on my way out but check the developper threads and there should be a few on flashing the new stock JB roms that are out.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KindleTrish:
Hello,

I successfully rooted my Kindle Fire last year and a few months ago I decided to flash ICS on it. It worked perfectly and I've had no issues so far on it except for one thing that is driving me nuts.

I had downloaded a couple albums and a few magazines on my Kindle and I wanted to get them on my PC. So I proceeded to plug my Kindle as usual and I heard the USB sound on the PC. I checked My PC and my device did not appear there. I checked Device Manager and the ADB Composite thing did not appear either, it now says Amazon Kindle Fire with the yellow exclammation mark.

I suppose somehow the drivers got uninstalled or something, so I tried installing the drivers again... Which is another nightmare because first of all, I'm on Win XP and my computer is in Spanish. So when I double click on the drivers thing it doesn't work. And now when I try to manually install the drivers it won't let me.

I have no idea what to do now, maybe someone can help me with this. I'll be so grateful for any help you guys can give me! :crying::crying:

When I flashed CM10.1 I needed to download "google android usb drivers" or something...
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KindleTrish:
Yup, I've tried every possible solution out there and nothing has helped.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galearned:
kindle fire not found after cm10

Trish: First, I am presuming you are working with a first gen Kindle fire?

I am pretty sure the problem is that the cm10 build is not using the 0x1949 kindle vendor ID and your drivers do not know what to do.

I am not entirely sure how to modify your USB driver ini files but, if you were to install something like USBDview, which lists usb attachments to your PC or, if you were in LINUX for certain and listed the syslog (which prints out all activity on ports basically), you would see a USB connection each time the tablet is connected but, the VID is no 0x1949 but, 18D1. 1949 is the VID for Kindle and I was told that 18D1 is the VID for google devices.

If your PC was set up and configured to work with google devices, I think you would be OK.

I had one person indicate their machine was configured to recognize either Kindle on Google Vendor IDs.

C:\Users\"your user name"\.android\adb_usb.ini

The file normally has 0x1949 listed in it which is the VID for Kindle.

Once cm10 is loaded the VID may no longer 0x1949.

I once tried to add 0x18D1 to the .android/ adb_usb.ini file located in the users base folder but, I did not have any better luck.

This issue happens quite a bit and there are lots of posts indicating that the PC will not recognize the tablet after loading one rom or another or just getting the tablet into one boot mode or another.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KindleTrish:
Thank for your response. I wasn't running CM10 on my KF 1st gen when I had this USB problem. To be honest, I don't even remember what's the name of the ROM I was running. All I have to say is that it was a very poor ROM, very unstable and it was missing a lot of features. For instance, when I went to Settings > Storage I would have no option to turn on the Mass Storage option.

I was so frustrated with this USB issue since I couldn't find a solution or help anywhere, so I decided to flash CM10.1 on my KF and now I have a very stable tablet. When I first tried to connect it to the pc after flashing, the PC didn't recognize it either. But at least I have the mass storage option in Settings > Storage.

Either way, the PC still doesn't recognize my tablet as an Android Phone. But I can get files from my KF to PC and vice versa.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerbey:
Some ROMs just don't seem to work with Windows PCs. The latest CM/SG7 one works fine (early versions did not, the ones from around May going forward do). If all else fails, I've never had an issue getting USB to connect when using TWRP's option. A minor inconvenience, but there it is.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
This has been talked about several times, but for some reason no one ever seems to catch on.

You have to check the hardware IDs reported by your device in the Device Manager for every ROM you install, and make sure the information matches whatever is listed in your 'adb_usb.inf'.

How many of you are using Trickster Mod with the One? I've been looking in to all the available settings and options, and will admit it's a little overwhelming. What do you find to be the best combinations for Power Conservation, Gaming, Screen Calibration, ect?

I'm using it on Insert Coin and ElementalX 2.2 and finally the frequencies stick properly. I just use the app to UC and change the governor to Intellidemand, hoping for a better battery life with it.

Is there any ROM that has both Halo and a functional ir blaster? I've been searching through the Roms and nothing I've seen has both. any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
I don't think so. Tasks rom supports ir. You could grab that and this app in the meantime: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.paranoid.halo&hl=en
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] captivatingtab:
Unfortunately that app doesn't work unless the ROM supports Halo. I know it's only matter of time before PAC supports the ir blaster or Task figures out Halo so I guess it's a waiting game for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xBeerdroiDx:
There's another halo-like app on the play store. It worked on tasks. I can't remember the name. I tried it a couple weeks ago. Have since deleted it as I have no need for such a feature

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArkantosRexxar:

Can you get into download mode too? If you can i would flash back to stock using Odin. Check out the stickies for all that info
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] ArkantosRexxar:
If I can get into recovery mode, and flash the stock rom, but I make the same mistake, I read about 30 pages and only found information that tells me I have to flash the efs folder copy a I317 phone that works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
Unfortunately. ...your EFS file is linked to your device only. ..

It contains some repeat information. ..but also contains the serial number and the IMEI as well. ..

Without a backup of the complete folder you will not have a working device.

The device can be repaired. ..but requires special skills and equipment. ..

You need to check with the people at mobiletechvideos.com

And inquire about this service. .

A bad or missing EFS file simply means device death until the repair is completed. ..

I'm sorry about your device. ..and good luck. ..g

WHAT DEVICE

Sheez, how can someone help if you do not tell us what type of att device you have, I suppose you have a att, or you would not be posting here...we are not Houdini's here...help us help you.

You have a kernel issue with your backup, I bet. get the correct kernel for YOUR device, restore backup, AND BEFORE YOU BOOT, flash the kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] trueking7:
I'm sorry that I neglected to mention which device in particular. I am using a ROGERS SGH-I337m Galaxy S4. It is currently running TW stock (rooted with motochopper). If I understand you correctly, I should turn my phone off, and then boot into recovery, and then flash the stock rogers kernel, (wipe cache, dalvik, fix permissions) and then it should boot? I should note that the last time I tried wiping Dalvik before booting the system, the dalvik wipe failed.....

P.S. I couldnt get wifi working on Omega v7 so I tried google edition 1.3 but found it too vanilla. I really want omega v7 :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
I'd be more worried of getting my phone working not what rom you want to flash.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] trueking7:
Right now I am trying to find out if flashing the stock kernel will enable me to reboot normally? I will copy the kernel to the card just in case my phone powers off. Then I will try flashing it to see if phone will boot. If not then I will restore from nandroid yet again and be unable to reboot.

I will use Odin as a last resort.

Ps. This would be a lot easier if install instructions were carrier specific.

Sent from my stock rooted i337m
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
here is your answer..

flash omega

before you boot, flash YOUR CARRIER kernel.

thats it...easy easy easy.

course this after you get the correct kernel flashed so you can even boot.

answer is...

get into recovery, flash YOUR CARRIER kernel, you should boot up with no problem

your welcome
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] trueking7:
I got my phone booting properly again. I re-rooted. I installed TMO KTweaker. I can still reboot. I took another nandroid. I will try flashing omega + ktweaker again this time without formating via TWRP which apparently casused my problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bigant262:
Usually when you have restore problems, its either a MD5 mismatch, or corrupt micro SD card. You don't have to wipe when restoring, TWRP does it automatically when you restore.

Stock Google Edition Look On Touchwiz Based Roms (Bootanimation, Sunbeam LWP & Holo)

I recommend using Omega ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2253528) because the theme I'm providing you might cause your device to be stuck at boot.

I don't know how to make flashable zips yet so I recommend you using Root Explorer or any file explorer that will let you change system files.

Lets get started:

First of all, make a Nandroid backup just in case something goes wrong. Then, go to the system/media directory, select bootsamsung,qmg & bootsamsungloop.qmg and copy and paste it somewhere on your /sdcard directory.

Download the Google Edition boot animation below. This is not a flashable zip so don't flash it. Extract it somewhere on your /sdcard directory, then cut and paste the files to your system/media directory. When prompted to overwrite files, press Yes. IMPORTANT: Make sure to change the permissions of the bootsamsung.qmg & bootsamsungloop.qmg files from rw-rw-r-- to rw-r--r-- by holding on the files and clicking Permissions and unchecking Groups - Write. Reboot your phone once you've done that.

Now you have the official Google Edition boot animation. Lets move on to the stock theme. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2304251)

Scroll down to Vertumus's second post and go to the download section. Click on 13.06.2013. - v1.3 (Domination v1.3 MDM_ME1_ME2_ME3_MEA_MF3_MF4_MF5_MF8). You will now be directed to his site. Click on Downloads picture then go on Themes, then Domination, then download the latest version which is 1.3. Use the first mirror. After you finish downloading the theme, boot into recovery mode. If you don't have the 4-way boot then power off your device and make sure your device is unplugged. Hold the power button and the volume up button at the same time until you see the Samsung Galaxy S4 logo with blue text on the top left corner. Then proceed to flashing the theme and clear your cache/dalvik-cache just in case. Then reboot your phone

Almost done, now lets download the Sunbeam Live Wallpaper which is provided at below. Copy it to your /sdcard directory then cut and paste it to your /system/apps directory and change the permissions to rw-r--r--.

Now, download Nova, Apex or Holo Launcher. I'm using Holo Launcher since it looks closest to the stock launcher. Nova is probably the fastest out of all of them but I don't like the grey triangles on the app drawer tabs (just my 2 cents).

Optional: There's also a link below for the stock Google Deskclock. Make sure to change the permissions when you move it to the system/app directory.

You now have a stock Google Edition look on your Touchwiz based Galaxy S4! :D

Special thanks to ::indie:: and the Omega team for the fast, stable and customizable rom and to Vertumus for his amazing Holo theme!

Please thank me if I helped you!

REQUEST: Can someone please make a flashable zip of the Bootanimation, Sunbeam LWP & DeskClock app? Thanks in advance.

Try the torrent link. Its way faster. And I had the same problem once when I flashed the Domination theme. Just clear cache, davlik cache and fix permissions. And if it still happens (which it did for me), then pull out the battery and power the phone back on again and it should work again

I tried installing the theme after flashing infamous 3.1, and unfortunately it boot looped. I'm fairly certain I did everything correctly but I hope I didn't because I want this so bad lol give it a try!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] relldroid:
Try switching versions, I downloaded the version op stated which didn't work for me, the "MEA" version did, also neither version would work for me on Omega but don't quote me on that bcuz I switched Roms and don't really remember.

If the infamous rom is themed this can be the issue, if so, try flashing a stock theme or systemui.apk and flash.

If all fails just use wanamLite rom (the one I'm using) and unlike omega you will have working wifi out the box and you can just flash the MEA version of the theme and it will boot right up.

This is not even a theme it feels like a nexus with Samsung additions.. Best of both.. Almost

just a quickie. is there a way to change the default camera used for apps in paranoid android.

i stupidly decided to try and install Galaxy S2 - 4.2 Photosphere and Gallery FULLY WORKING from xda onto the phone.

since doing it video will not record from rear camera. front is fine just not rear. apps that use their own camera are fine like vine etc but i was wanting to try the new instagram video but this abviously calls the defualt camera as it displays the same behaviour. front records but rear camera wont.

i want to restore back to stock camera without hopefully haveing to reinstall rom and losing all my stuff
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] hetster:
seems to be ALL roms based on 4.2.1 or 4.2.2

i have tried 6 roms now and all do the same thing with the rear camera. if i install a rom based on 4.1.2 everything goes back to normal.

for now the best rom with everything working is the latest neatrom but its a memory hog. i have 100mb left of ram i am having to constantly clear ram to keep it running smooth.

does anyone know of a good custom rom based on 4.2.2 or 4.2.1 that makes use of the old 4.1.2 camera?

just going to try wanamlite as thats based on 4.1.2

i just want my instagram video fix lol

5. [JB 4.2.2][AOKP/CM10.1/PA] ReVolt JB I9100 [Ver.4.3]

i have tried several other but have deleted the files so cant remember them.

the only success i have 100% is with neatrom which works perfect but the memory useage is just silly. i have less than 100mb ram remaining every 2 mins. avatar works as an output but when viewing its green

so if theres any n00bs out there like me who just want some instagram fun with latest android then go for [RESURRECTION REMIX].

its a good rom as well
