[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] navodwickra:
if you have an unlocked bootloader you can flash the stock images via fastboot. don't flash all together. Flash the bootloader then radio finally the image(make sure you remove the userdata.img from the image.zip). this is exactly what I did and I now have 4.3 and didn't lose a single bit of my app data.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
There is a [Q] tag, so it goes there.

And regarding OTAs, just wait for it, nothing major..

Beamed from my Maguro.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Misledz:
You're seriously asking this? I didn't know we had google employees in xda. Why not just download the flash able image from the Google developers website and save time from making a post that's useless. Also someone can't make an OTA. Only google can.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
Can I do this from the phone only? I have no access to a usb cable or a computer, and I need to update completely from the phone.

Is that possible?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
Then wait for the OTA..

Beamed from my Grouper
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] soder:
Yeah, I wait and I wait and I wait. =) That's why I asked about this method.

But also with the OTA, there is a chance that is will not work to flash since there might be some stuff I have done to the /system.

That was the case the for me with the 4.2.2 update, and I needed to use the Google Factory Image, and reset my internal memory and all that (I didn'n know about methods to NOT reset the internal memory then).

Strange there are no flashable .zip's that are complete stock with only some kind of root added. Just stock, that should work to update to next version, like 5.0, with OTA then. Or is there?

EDIT: I found this. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2016452

Can someone please tell me if there was some new bootloader or radio or something like that, that I need to update more then using pure stock - odexed - UNTOUCHED?

Everyone, is there a way to change the size of the animation for Boot. If so, what is a good size to fit the screen?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] benkstech:
I got something to share to your guys! Real something! The most strong screen protector film for Galaxy S4.

It's made of very strong nano tempering glass, hardness can reach 9H (the common good screen protector film hardness is 3-4H). set it to your Galaxy S4, no need to worry about the key or some other hard things in your pocket will scratch the screen anymore. Smooth & comfortable touch sense, remove fingerpring, high light transmitting outpu to enable you enjoy watching vedio and playing games!

Just Love It!

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] asianrage:
What's the thickness of it? I'm using Spigen GlasT Nano Slim which, at .15mm thickness and 9H hardness, is the best glass screen protector out there.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] benkstech:
it's .2mm thickness. how long have you used this 9H protector? Is there any aspect fading if it has been used for long time. The 9H protector cost much more than common ones. but i think it worth even i use it only for few weeks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] benkstech:
No, it's not a glass. It's a thin screen protective film, made of different layers. You can install and use it as similar steps with common screen protectors. but far strong from the common protective films.

Lol screw that, tempered glass all the way baby!!

You got. Thanks. sorry i didn't clarify clearly. Haha. The explosion layer is for protect the phone screen only. NOT that amazing functions actually(because the screen and the phone is always taken by user'shand, haha).

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] jkassay:
I did a negative review of one of JGUI products on pocketgear. They refused to post it. I guess they are worried that people would not buy the product and it would cost them money.

His software is simply terrible. Sure you can download a trial without paying for it. But try to uninstall it, you will end up having to do a hard reset, if it dosen't already cause a hard reset.

Needless to say, I stopped using Pocketgear. They wouldn't even respond as to why they wouldn't post my review.

I did get a response from JGUI, but no help with problems. I had bought several of his products all of which caused problems of one sort or another.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
If you go to the xda ftp site (ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.com/Magician/anansky/), there's the ROM and a word document that describes the whole process. The other tools you need can also be found on ftp as well (ftp://xda:xda@xda-developers.comMagician/Backup tools1/).

If you don't understand anything in the word document please let me know.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] zenkinz:
Yeah, I had a pretty bad experience when I tried JGUI software on my previous ppc phone. Simply does not work as claim, choke the CPU and causes the phone to hang, and of course have to hard reset to really uninstall it.

I am surprise the developer still have the cheek to develop new software ...

[LG Nitro HD] DevilMind007:
why my su640 has 768mb RAM & 1.8gb storage?

rest specs are same as other su640

only Ram & internal storage is less, while my Nexus 7 & Galaxy Ace show same RAM & Memory as on GSMArena states
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
Its still 1gb & 2gb, the differences are for system memory addresses. Think of it this way: you have a computer with 4gb of RAM and integrated graphics windows will report as 3.5gb because the differences are reserved for the system or in this case video ram.
[LG Nitro HD] lbomber7:
Welcome to the world of computers
[LG Nitro HD] DevilMind007:

my Nexus7 shows 1gb RAM & my Galaxy Ace shows 278mb RAM

my su640 (LG Nitro HD) should show 1gb RAM & 4g internal storage, but it shows 768mb RAM & 1.8gb internal storage

here is the proof see the attached image
[LG Nitro HD] gtharea:
dude, its fine. different phones are different. we all show less than 1GB ram but that's normal because some of the ram is reserved by the system and can't be accessed by the user. you're not being cheated by anyone.
[LG Nitro HD] Swetnes:
There has been plenty of discussion about this before it DOES have 4 GB of internal storage and it DOES have 1 GB of ram. The internal storage gets partitioned into system, data, boot & recovery and 1.8 is what is left over. The difference between 1 GB and 768 mb internal is the ram disk and reserved memory for the os.
[LG Nitro HD] PKsquad:
Dont worry, you still have 1gb ram. My one x shows 790ram. Thats how it is.

Do you have access to the boot loader? If so put it into fastboot and run "fastboot reboot". Does holding down the power button do anything for you?

none

I finally remembered the command

ADB reboot recovery.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Wrong : The Free Software Foundation Europe argues that it is legal to root or flash any device. According to the European Directive 1999/44/CE, replacing the original operating system with another does not void the statutory warranty that covers the hardware of the device for two years unless the seller can prove that the modification caused the defect, accroding to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Android_rooting

So even if Sony, or the president of the usa, or Thor himself said that void warranty, that's not true.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
I've been there personally. Took my Xperia S, another Xperia S, an X10, and an Arc to service.

All rooted no problems.

I even took my previous Xperia S bootloader unlocked to have the screen replaced. Totally forgot to lock the bootloader. They yelled at me because I wasn't covered by warranty, but they kinda know me already as I buy all my phones over there (they let me play with the Z Ultra too :P), they spared my life and didn't charge the 150€ they charge for having the screen replaced without warranty.

Sony service is great here in Spain, if you take the phone personally. Not so much when you have to deal with delivery system.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjgowtham:
So even phones with unlocked bootloader, they need to prove the damage is because of the software we used! Am I right in this?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrKrFfXx:
Yes and no. The service that is in my city is very clear about this. What they told me is that they need to register te parts replaced with their software, maybe serial numbers to keep control what goes in and out,, but they can't do so with the bootloader unlocked as they cannot flash stock firmware with the tools they have.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] QualQuek:
Wrong, a phone with a locked bootloader can be flashed by any flash tool made for Xperia Z, it's only if you unlock the bootloader that they can't (SUS and PCC don't work on unlocked bootloader), and btw that void the warranty to unlock the bootloader.

And yes they need prove that the modification caused the defect if any.

From the*Licorice Ones? dept.:

Android 4.3 builds on the performance improvements already included in Jelly Bean vsync timing, triple buffering, reduced touch latency, CPU input boost, and hardware-accelerated 2D rendering and adds new optimizations that make Android even faster.For a graphics performance boost, the hardware-accelerated 2D renderer now optimizes the stream of drawing commands, transforming it into a more efficient GPU format by rearranging and merging draw operations.

For multithreaded processing, the renderer can also now use multithreading across multiple CPU cores to perform certain tasks.Android 4.3 also improves rendering for shapes and text. Shapes such as circles and rounded rectangles are now rendered at higher quality in a more efficient manner.

Optimizations for text include increased performance when using multiple fonts or complex glyph sets (CJK), higher rendering quality when scaling text, and faster rendering of drop shadows.Improved window buffer allocation results in a faster image buffer allocation for your apps, reducing the time taken to start rendering when you create a window.For highest-performance graphics, Android 4.3 introduces support for OpenGL ES 3.0 and makes it accessible to apps through both framework and native APIs. On supported devices, the hardware accelerated 2D rendering engine takes advantage of OpenGL ES 3.0 to optimize texture management and increase gradient rendering fidelity.

[Google Chromecast] msm903:
When setting it up the first time it does a Wireless to wireless connection from your phone or Wifi Computer to the device. If you don't have Wifi on your computer you will need to use the phone for the initial setup. Once it is on the wireless network you can connect with any device connected to that network, wired or wireless. well that is once your router does not sepereate the wireless and wired clients
[Google Chromecast] reloaded89:
I'm having this same problem with my chromecast. Chrome cannot find the chromecast on the desktop; on Wifi or on ethernet. My laptops and all my android devices work without a problem though. Hopefully google hammers out some of these bugs
[Google Chromecast] cmstlist:
I hope this is how it'll work, as my network is similar. Router in the living room, with a cable going into a powerline Ethernet jack, emerging in my room where it connects to my desktop computer. So of course for initial setup I will need to use my phone or tablet because my desktop can't find the Chromecast if it's not connected to the router. But I'd certainly hope I can cast from desktop once the dongle has connected to the wi-fi.

Just to be sure - you're not running Windows XP are you? Because apparently XP is not compatible with Google Cast...
