[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
I've run rootbox, carbon, and liquid. They're all pretty much the same to me.

Performance - relatively equal.

Battery - I don't concern myself with battery life, I charge it whenever I want. I have no desire to see how many days I can get on a single charge.

They were all stable, but each have had their own issues, and the same issues. The common issues are low volume, no BT voice dialing, and for me neither of them accepted key responses when trying to save or delete voicemails.

I'm currently back on touchwiz (goodness ROM).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] asacado:
Having tested nearly all available, left for a few stragglers, AOKP's crurent 6/30 nightly is very stable. I usually use SOAP kernel for most of my 4.2.2 roms. Battery life is quite nice, but as mentioned in other posts, volume can be an issue with certain roms. It's really how you use the device. You can retain some Touchwiz functionality with S-pen 3rd party apps, but it's your preference. I am constantly looking for a rom to suit my needs that is the latest os, and currently testing Vanir as it is the new kid of the block. More to come!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shangrila500:
What all does Vanir have? I've been eyeballing it but just can't get away from Rootbos' perfectness!

You really should give it a try! The latest nightlies are a bit buggy but 7-03 works great!

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:03 PM ----------

The volume issues are fixed easily with Plasma, as for BT dialing I never use it so I had no clue.

I never have had any issues with VM though, what are you using for your VM app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pool_shark:
I use the normal Verizon *86 on the phonepad.

First: Questions go in Q&A, thread moved

Second: ROM comparison threads are not welcome on XDA. Members are expected to do the research, read the threads and decide for themselves what is best for them as what is best for one is not best for another.

This is not a support site but a development site.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fishbone:
Hi all!

I have the following problem. I got the german MDA Compact from T-Mobile and they sell it with the software PhotoContacts in the ROM.

Unfortunately there is - as far as I know, please correct me if I am wrong - no way to sync the photos you assign there with Outlook. Which I think is a shame.

With the Caller2picture program it is possible to sync those with Outlook (via Caller2picture Sync) and I was wondering if it would cause any conflicts with the already installed PhotoContacts program.

Any advice on this?

Cheers!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fishbone:
Tried and installed the app but with no success. When I tried to lauch it via the context menu it gave me an error that it could not be launched. Any Advice? Please..?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Loboman:
I tried it too and i think it was quite crappy. Try PocketX PhotoContacts instead. This will work parallell to the one that comes with your phone.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] fishbone:
Can I sync the Photos with Outlook? That is my primary goal. As everything else is possible with the built-in app.

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] tumtum:
You cannot sync Photocontacts with MS Outlook.

It's only WM2005 can sync Contacts Photo with MS Outlook.

Need to wait until it release.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GreenEnvy:
I have an employee who is located in a remote office so I can't physically work on the phone. She has a Bell Galaxy S4 she bought outright a few months ago. We are moving her to our corporate Rogers plan.

I got her IMEI and submitted it to cellunlocker.net, paid my fee, and waited. They refunded my money a couple days later and said they couldn't find a code.

So I then had her try this procedure:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2282683

It acted like it worked, but after rebooting and inserting a Rogers SIM it still asked for unlock code.

Bell says they will do it for $75 and will take 48 hours.

Any other options?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Matridom:
Escalate to a manager

I'm with Telus, they charged $35 and gave it to me over the phone in less then 2 minutes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mymusicathome:
I picked up a bell s4 and I'm running on the Rogers network.

The SIM unlock method didn't work for me either. I used unlockunit.com at around midnight and about 3 minutes later received the unlock code and locked onto my lte plan without an issue.

There is even a dialer code to change the csc code to Rogers with stock apps. It will wipe your device though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] GreenEnvy:
Tried another unlocker and they got a code so all is well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] xinoef:
You are lucky you picked that website that actually refunds you when they cannot get you a code.

I tried UnlockUnit, they were not able to get me an unlock code, but they do not seem to be willing to give me the refund they promised (a month has gone by now, since the last time I received an email saying "We will check it and get back to you soon.")
[Windows 8 General] kmad86:
Not very good with the windows phone and am trying to help an older friend out that had a Nokia 710. He just purchased a HTC 8X and T-Mobile couldn't help him transfer his numbers and all. He had no idea about a windows live ID.

Sure, I could set him up a Windows LIve ID, but is there a way that we can bypass all of that and just plug his Nokia 710 into the computer and back it up, plug the 8X into the computer and upload all the information on it?

Thanks.
[Windows 8 General] SixSixSevenSeven:
Wrong section. This is windows 8. Not windows phone 8, the 2 are not the same at all.

However. On my nokia 710 one of the preinstalled apps is Contacts Transfer, I dont know if thats a microsoft thing, or if its nokia exclusive or if nokia have made it available on the app store (which they may have) but all it requires is both phones to have bluetooth on, then you set the old one to discoverable, follow the instructions. It seems to work pretty well with my ancient android handset.

I personally have all my contacts stored on my google account instead now, syncs more readily with more devices than the windows live account does.
[Windows 8 General] kmad86:
Wow, I don't know how I messed that up. Mods delete this thread, reposted in right sub.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymzz:
This is perhaps a general Android question and one I have not found the magic search terms to find an answer. Before I mess with this phone, I'd like stock images of boot.img, recovery.img, and the OS itself. Is this possible without root?

I did a full adb backup (including shared stuff, system) but it's unclear if that will restore the phone to a factory state including the images above.

If anyone has any direction for me, much appreciated. Not getting far on my own. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.Suave:
Its not possible to create a nandroid backup without root. Remember, you can always odin the stock firmware after rooting if you'd like to return to stock. Hope that helps :D

If anyone has that I9505G stock firmware to flash with Odin, I'd love to have it...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaymzz:
Thanks - this is what I'd like to do, but I don't have the stock images to be able to do this. Also I don't have the ability to use Odin - I'm limited to its Linux counterpart heimdall which may explain the disconnect if Odin offers that service and heimdall does not. This is my first serious foray into Samsung - I'm missing some context I think.

I did locate "S4GE_v4_422.zip" which is supposed to be the stock ROM but it's obviously de-odexed and rooted. That may be fine for my use, but not necessarily a way back to day 0.

And I'd be happy to share the stock firmware if I can locate or download it from my phone.

Thanks for your help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R.Suave:
Sorry, but im not sure where to find an Odin flashable Google Edition stock firmware (I can only find the flashable rom). Good luck

No problem at all. Heimdall, like Odin, can flash the stock firmware as well. You can find the carrier specific flashable firmwares here

Can you load something like recovery or download mode? And get the screen normal .. If its still colorfull in those modes.. Then yes mostly likely its hardware problem that might be with the signals the goes to pixels that tells what color to light.. And you should take it to an expert.

But if recovery or download mode loads with proper screen.. Then its a software problem.. A format might help.

I use the Galaxy Note 2 I 317 on T Mobile I would really like to try some different roms weather AT&T or t-mobile roms but I need the wifi calling feature I know one of th3 T Mobile ROMs was incorporated with the AT&T note 2, and it has wifi calling working which is what I'm using currently but it is pretty basic 4.1 .2 build.

Does anybody know of any tmobile or att built roms that have the wifi call feature incorporated that I can flash on the i317 that will give me the wifi calling feature unfortunately I rely on that because of poor coverage in my area

I'm guessing the roms are probably probably if any going to be t mobile base roms I know you can pretty much flash anything onto the I 317 from t-mobile as far as I have read but I was curious about the radio and modem part of it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Most Rom's don't include the modem!!!! But when flashing a Rom the OP should state that this Rom is compatible across many devices!

And yes if you mix match the wrong modem with your phone you'll end up with a boot loop:banghead::mad:! Fyi

There's a few AT&T Rom's that a few TMO users have tried and work great.

I'm running SKY NOTE on both my AT&T & TMO GN2 with no problems. And GW set-up on both of them.:p:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lojak29:
I understand but what im looking for is a tmobile rom that flashes fine with wifi calling or an att rom that was rebuilt with t mobile wifi calling. All I want is a rom that has wifi calling wethwr is att rebuilt or t mobile based . That will flash to the i317.

I know of one its just stock t889-i317 with the wifi calling Built 4.1.2 but its plain jane.

No matter how much I google oe look under and development for eqch forum I cant pinpoint one rom that has this.

Thus why im asking outright as a question.

This is all temporarily until I can trade for a branded t889

To change Bold font we need to replace ROBOTO-Bold.ttf with desired font but sometime it causes bootloop in JB/ICS. The reason is because ICS/JB pays attention to the font metadata in ways that Gingerbread does not, and many fonts don't have the correct weight/classification/family metadata.
