[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
I checked the title suggestions and the S3 doesn't have a solution in them... The suggestions for other phones don't seem very good either, although I will take a look at LauncherPro.

Question:

Is there a way to restore widgets to their correct screens and locations? I like trying ROMs and I've got saving/restoring my data and apps down so I don't lose anything but widgets are a pain. I get the big red rectangles but not the widgets. Have no problems paying for an app that does it, so I'm not just looking for a freebie handout.

Ideally the app would also restore apps and data into a new ROM, but I'd be happy if it just looked after my widgets. I run 7 home screens and have my Launcher at 6 columns x 7 rows - I don't mind having to set that up prior to restore but again, ideally it would be nice if the app would restore those settings.

*grins* Not asking much... am I?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
From my experience, which is limited to Apex Pro, I can tell you that restoring the home screens work for logos & folders of apps, whereas somehow my widgets (I got 1 widget, which is the calendar in agenda view) does not work somehow. Maybe other launchers can do it though.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
Thanks chrismast - it seems to be an issue. I can't find anything on Playstore that specifically says it will restore widgets, even if you're on a stock layout. Maybe it is too hard given all the changes and layouts people have on their devices? le sigh...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Its very rare to restore Widgets as they were.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Journyman16:
[MENTION=2872010]rootSU[/MENTION] - do you mean it is rare that people put widgets back as they were or that it is rare to be able to restore them as they were? The 2nd one, yep! Having all kinds of problems trying to find a way to do it automatically. The 1st possibility - I like to try different ROMs and see what they are like to use - to do that I really need to have the same set up in each so I can compare. Restoring widgets to what they were before an upgrade seems a logical thing to do, so I am puzzled it hasn't been addressed before now.

Maybe I am just a bit odd? :D
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Yes the latter. I ONCE managed to restore fully using titanium backup. I suppose it depends on the type of widgets. Go launcher and Nova have internal backup features, but all it does is put the widgets in their places. I still have to "tap to restore widget" which for some is great, they just pop back up but others that are configurable, i still have to go through all the config again.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
nova launcher prime does a superb job of this :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Not for me. Once I restore widgets like:

Tasker tasks

Set CPU

Beautiful Widgets

Pure Calendar

Simi Clock

I have to go into each and set my preferred settings.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I can't set a wallpaper on the 4.2.2 GE Rom without it wanting to crop it to a square and make some sort of cross out of it.

I only have 1 homescreen and no scrolling wallpaper and I want to be able to just have a full screen wallpaper of my choosing.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squabbi:
Unfortunately you cannot do that on the stock launcher. Nova launcher can set wallpaper without cropping .
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zLight:
I've got an Xperia J that is build 11.2.A.0.31 (4.1.2) and also has a boot loader that can't be unlocked. How can I downgrade it to 11.0.A.3.28 so that I can root it? I've been searching for hours and the only guides I can find are one's with Unlocked boot loaders /:
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] andrelessa:
You need to flash the 11.0.A.7.5 FTF, using FlashTool. Follow these steps:

1- I was in 11.2.A.0.21 CE;

2- Flashed 11.0.A.7.5 CE (unbranded) with flastool WITH wipping data (if you don't select "wipe data", the phone doesn't boot);

3- Rooted with UnlockRoot;

4- Updated over the air to 11.2.A.0.31;

5- Reinstalled Superuser from the Play Store.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] zLight:
Can you tell me which boxes to select in Flashtool please.
[Sony Xperia Miro, Tipo (Dual), J, E] gliga2000:
1. Copy downloaded firmware to (default) C:/Flashtool/Firmwares

2. Open Flashtool with administrator

3. Click on thunder icon

4. Choose flashmode than click Ok

5. Select above downloaded firmware in "Firmware" section

6. Check DATA and CACHE in "Wipe" selection

7. Click Ok

8. Flashtool will prepare files to flash - wait 2-3 minutes

9. Enable USB debugging and Non Market apps on phone

10. Connect phone via USB cable

11. Follow the instructions

Fastboot button for XJ is VOLUME UP , Flashmode button for XJ is VOLUME DOWN

12. Finish :cool:

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] renegaderon:
I picked up a tab 3 today, just wondering if its been rooted yet, anybody know?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] kailashnj:
COngrats on your tab 3 but you are in the wrong section. This is TAB 2 sections.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] renegaderon:
I know but there is no Tab 3 section
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Agoattamer:
Just curious. I saw that they recently released the Tab 3. What does it have over the Tab 2 besides a home button? Specs seem almost the same.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] renegaderon:
The main differences between the two are the processor 1.2Ghz and the 1.3 megapixel camera. It also has a nice alluminum bezel, micro usb port and the home button. Other than that not much difference.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] aircooledbusses:
yep, they dropped the funky charger, micro usb port like you said and the entire body is less wide--my screen protector from the tab 2 hangs off on both sides.

looking forward to a new section!!
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] supra94:
Tab 3 7.0 rootable yet?

Do people able to root the device yet? Can we use the same method as the tab 2 7 ? Will it brick or anything?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ddochi11:
Unless you see a specific root instruction for your device, do not try anything.

No matter how similar tab2 and tab3 are, they are different devices. Just wait for the new section for your device to be created.

Stop bringing your questions here, cuz we can't answer them. We all have tab2. How would we know?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] guest_2011:
There are probably dedicated threads for nexus 7.2 but nothing for our tab 3 yet. My 8 will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to root and debloat.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] renegaderon:

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] IFLATLINEI:
Im curious. Those of you who purchased the Tab3 7 inch. Are you upgrading from another 7 inch tab? What tab is this one replacing?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] aircooledbusses:
I am upgrading from the tab 2 7 inch just because they were out of stock on a return. wish I hadn't the tab 3 is no big difference, the stock rom is bloated and yes, the internet gets dropped when idle for me too.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] tthoma:
I got the 8". Replacing a 1st gen Kindle Fire - tired of being restricted to the Amazon App Store etc (and rooting of course takes away the instant video and free kindle book prime benefits) . Also have the Galaxy S Blaze phone and very happy with it which led me to the Tab 3. 8" is a really nice size for use as an e-reader.

On both the Tab 3 and my S Blaze, I had trouble keeping WiFi connection when connected to my N router (I run one G and one N b/c I don't have a dual-band that will maintain the N speed and we still have some G only devices). They stay connected to the G (Linksys) with no problem. Never investigated further as it doesn't make enough difference for me to care. Something to think about.

what's a good 3d game to try on 8.0? i don't game on tablet or phone.sometimes play ballsbreaker and drawsome type of games.

still no dedicated tab 3 thread? tab3 doesn't deserve any attention? overpriced crap? i like my 8. mostly 5 star reviews. hope its going to be very popular soon.

im looking for a replacement but im torn between

Galaxy tab 3 10.1(hasnt been released in my country yet)

all of them are quite an upgrade from my tab 2 but i dont know, what do you guys think?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
you tried? I wouldn't even tried. Anyways, I picked up the 8" tab. I really like it. I have Tab 2 7.0 for my daughter and I was thinking of changing it for the 3. I saw it at Best buy and for some reason It looked weird to me.. lol .Like an oversize PDA from back in the days.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Any word on root for the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Areos:
It´s replacing a TF101 Asus I had for quite a long time. I have been using this device for 3 weeks almost now, and I am quite the happy person with it.

And now waiting for root.

We all hope have root method for ace 3..
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] ddochi11:
Wow.. This is the wrong forum to ask about Tab 3.

Wait for the new forum for Tab 3 and ask your questions there. No one here is going to answer your questions, because we don't have Tab 3.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
Instead of commenting, why not just move along. Many of us probably upgraded to tab 3. How do you know everybody on this forum only had tab 2?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] mythi:
I think note 8.0 is better in my oppion
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:
I got a tab 2 7.0 for my daughter and just bought a tab 3 8.0 and there is a huge difference. I opt for tab 3 because I didnt see myself using the stylus of the note 8. Also, screen resolution is the same which I care for more. The tab 3 does definitely feel lighter and thinner than note 8.0. Im happy with my tab 3. I know note is quad core but for what I wanted, tab 3 8.0 was perfect.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] Nasty64:
I bought a Tab 3 8.0 a few days ago and today I got a Note 8.0 to compare. I fully expected to like the Note more (faster processor, stylus, etc) but it turns out not to be the case. The Note is quite a bit larger than the Tab and the Tab feels much better in my hand(s) so the Note is going back to Costco.
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] yatbond:
Is there a dedicated forum for tab 3 8.0?
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] valent|n0:
td bank is giving tab 3 7 inch for free

definitely need a section in XDA for the developer to do it's thang... :)
[Galaxy Tab 2 General] NJ_RAMS_FAN:

hello greetings, was trying to install clean rom 2.5 and for some reason froze in the aroma installer option "status bar mode". This is the second attempt, the problem is that does not shut down or rebooted just stays on that screen and does nothing and when I hold down the power button the soft keys start to blink but nothing happen :(. On the first attempt I restart the phone right through adb because :confused: I don't know what I do but adb could see my phone but now adb don't want to see it. It's been an hour trying and I get nothing ....:(:(

Try rebooting into recovery again by holding the buttons but do it under a bright light. It's weird but it works

Yeah I can vouch for the bright light thing. Hold your phone close to a light bulb and hold down power. It will reboot.

Edit: supercid will allow you to flash roms that are still cdma. Not gsm these are diiferent phones. Like verizon is cdma for example. There is no point. If u really want to use this.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2315549

Again No point for cdma dont do it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] CNexus:
+1 to the above.

Super CID is really intended for GSM phones so they can flash radios from other GSM carriers. There's not much point for CDMA phones.

The Thanks button is just to avoid "THANKS" posts in threads. Nothing more. Don't defeat the purpose of why it was introduced.

Hi

Finally got round to noting down a few issues that are really bugging me, and I'm sure there's someone reading that can show me what's going on:

1. Receive an MMS....I open it, then press the download button, then wait....and nothin happens?? Why??

2. I still have not been able to get onto the Internet through GPRS ...I feel this may be connected with the above. What should I do?

3. No attachments will open on my XDA2s. Why?

I know these issues must be fairly simple to some of you, but I am not as technically minded as some and have no problem in asking for help, so, help!!

Good old O2 do seem quite good at setting up people with the wrong type of GPRS! Make sure U have mobile web set.

The options within your email account settings should allow you to select whether to dowload attachments. Otherwise it should just be a case of "edit-mark for download", although your current issues may be related to the above.

Then I tried flashing the stock ATT ROM using ODIN 3.07. I see "Pass" in ODIN. even after that I still see the "Samsung and custom with unlock logo" during the boot.

Also I still have all the settings/pictures/accounts in my phone even after flashing with ODIN?

I will save pictures from my gmail (app) and they will appear in my downloads folder (internal memory) for a couple of days. Then out of nowhere they disappear and are nowhere to be found. Has anyone else had this happen? Ne1 know the problem/solution?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MarkMRL:
Too bad it runs at sub-30 FPS, which is horrible. It struggles around 20FPS 90% of the time in a race. I'm not sure if I liked it more before the updates when it looked like a N64 game upscaled to 720p (I'm not sure what was up with this game on release, it looked like it ran at a resolution of 320x240 and then upscaled, with textures straight out of the nineties) but ran at a somewhat acceptable framerate, or now that it looks like a supercharged PS2 game with all sorts of crazy effects such as reflections, shining textures, lens flare, blur, but runs at 15FPS.

Also, here's a couple of screenshots I had to delete them because they were resized to hell, and I have no idea where to upload images without having to register. Other than the dithering (which is not even noticeable on the super sharp screen), they look really good and everything is rendered properly and in high res. Guess which screenshot is the one before the update.
[HTC Rezound] papaavi:
The topic says it all. Having said that, I am new to cm on rezound, I'm interested in the nightlies. I only entertain this because bluetooth is working for calls. I read up on flashing to the latest firmware (I'm one iteration behind the suggested one), flashing twrp recovery, I'm s-off, and the only thing that eludes me is the kernel. Does the kernel come with the nightly build? If so, Is it good to use? If not, hiro perhaps? Not really interested in tweaking voltage or overclocking, just want a smooth out of the box type kernel.

Anything I should expect or look out for? I'm coming from ecliptic rez
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
Yes it comes with a kernel, run it with it's defaults is what I suggest.

Make a back up of your current rom, if you're not happy with CM10.1, just do a restore. :)

Just keep in mind, your internal and SD Card mount points will change, internal is /emmc, SD Card is now /sdcard instead of /sdcard2. I'd back them up and clean off anything you don't need in those storage areas first.
[HTC Rezound] papaavi:
Good call. Will the internal and external storage be erased? Is that common?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
No just swapped. You get apps and things that normally cache to the internal storage on /sdcard now writing to the actual SD Card, that's the only reason I recommend cleaning up things, or back up the data on them and swap the contents. :)
[HTC Rezound] papaavi:
That's good news. I hated how my internal would get mistaken for my external.
[HTC Rezound] papaavi:
If I update my hboot, will I need a new identifier token to unlock it or can I use my previous token from my current hboot?
[HTC Rezound] mjones73:
If you're s-off, you don't need to re-lock your phone... In the event you do, you can re-use the same token.
