[Galaxy Note II General] kaibosh99:
My Note 2 has killed two SD cards now, a 32 and a 64 gig. I have run 25+ different roms on this phone and both of these died while running kk roms. I can't trust this hardware anymore and I don't think I would buy another Samsung phone because of this. Backing stuff up is one thing but this is freakin' ridiculous.

There are plenty of articles concerning this, keep in mind that the SanDisk QC issue is from over a year ago now and has nothing to do with what are talking about in this thread. Neither of my cards was a SanDisk, regardless.

My question is would I be able to put my device into download mode, then flash the tar file that will bring me back to unrooted 4.1.1 stock without bricking my phone?

Also, does anybody know if I can go from 4.1.2 rooted and flash this:

Yes, just download the correct version and flash. There is a flashable for recovery and one for root just in cane you want one and not the other.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brolybrah:
Thanks! Worked perfectly!

I JUST got my Droid Bionic in the mail, rooted it using the Virtualbox method, and now when I boot, I get an encryption error, and I can't reset my phone. What in the world is happening?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] jrjbertram:
Put it back into stock with FXZ / RSD Lite?

After you restore the stock JB image, you'll probably need this to root:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cacoe:
I guess this is a general question because it could happen to any device but the specifics are:

One thing bugs me though. I've had to set ro.fs.fakerotation to 180 so that my tablet auto-rotates correctly, but in "recent apps" all of the thumbnails are upside-down. Anyone know how to fix this?

I have a feeling it may be a matter of modifying systemui.apk but I'm not sure.

Thanks,

Mark.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jradius:
I have the same issue. On my tablet ro.fs.fakerotation is set to 180 too. (with default rom)

Are you using a rk3066 based tablet running 4.1.1 (it's my case) ?

---------- Post added at 10:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

From my finding you are right about SystemUI.apk.

./SystemUI/smali/com/android/systemui/screenshot/GlobalScreenshot.smali is quite interesting with things like

.method private getDegreesForRotation(I)F

I'm new to smali but I'll try to patch it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jradius:
Ok, I tried to patch getDegreesForRotation to invert the 4 switch case without great success.

02b882: 2b02 0f00 0000 |000b: packed-switch v2, 0000001a // +0000000f

02b888: 1200 |000e: const/4 v0, #int 0 // #0

02b88a: 0f00 |000f: return v0

02b88c: 1500 8743 |0010: const/high16 v0, #int 1132920832 // #4387

02b890: 28fd |0012: goto 000f // -0003

02b892: 1500 3443 |0013: const/high16 v0, #int 1127481344 // #4334

02b896: 28fa |0015: goto 000f // -0006

02b898: 1500 b442 |0016: const/high16 v0, #int 1119092736 // #42b4

02b89c: 28f7 |0018: goto 000f // -0009

I have been able to invert value from the 3 last case but not the first default case (with set the rotation to 0)

I tried to change 1200 by 12B4 (B4 = 180) in hex but this make the application crash so I probably miss something

I noticed the app read the ro.sf.hwrotation variable

02b60c: 1a00 1214 |00c6: const-string v0, "ro.sf.hwrotation" // string@1412

so I tried to patch to make it read ro.sf.zwrotation instead (and set ro.sf.zwrotation to 0) but this make the app crash and I really don't understand why.

Will continue to try later

I rooted, unlocked bootloader and flashed CWM. Then a day later the 4.3 update came around for the Google Play One. When it asked to reboot I said ok, watched it then saw it fail in CWM. I saved the zip to my download folder, now I want to know what I need to do to update the phone.

I tried flashing it within CWM but it fails. Thanx alot for the help guys, Im already on Hboot 1.54 since I just got the phone.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunnyman:

Well I flashed the recovery, phone hasnt seen the ota yet, did the services framework clearing but still nothing. Dont know how else to force it to get an update so juss gonna wait for now I guess, thanks again gunnyman.

I should have left it at stock recovery, didnt even think about it lol

Don't blame me coz I had note 2 before and used to see many custom roms but I dont see any atm for this phone >_<.

There's Cassie's Xtralite ROM and Silent Light available at the moment. Quality is better than quantity.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jtrakx:
Try to install Xposed framework. Then install Wanam's module. The link is available in this forum and its 100% compatible to Mega 6.3.

Wanam's module contains numerous popular mods that you can find on most popular custom roms. Just check it yourself.

Personally, what I really want to see is a custom kernel with overclocking capabilities. I think snapdragon 400 is a good overclocker.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Pariki:

Hi Gx3k,

I see that the Cassie's Xtralite ROM and Silent Light ROM are for I9205. Do these ROMs work on I9200 also? Please clarify......

So we should donate a device to team slim and ... we hopefully get a 4.3 build in the upcoming weeks !? :cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
People like you amaze me. Do you find your computer boring because it has no custom roms? It seem to me some people think that devices exist to run operating systems instead of running programs for those OSs. Do you belong to the group of people that flash their devices day and night? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yees-no:
Exactly :D

Comparing between official rom and customs what I got with note 2

Better performance

longer battery life

Less problems and unwanted apps

Extra customizations like battries notifcations ect ..

Really you will love the custom roms if you give it a try. specially

If you choised the right one :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
Oh, mate, i know very well what benefits custom roms can provide. Have been running them since my WM 6.0 days, but since i switched to android and learned to clean stock roms, i've discovered that custom roms give me very little to no advantage + quite often they gave me instability/fcs/not properly working features/other weird problems. I've cleaned the firmware on my 9200 the way i want and now it is very light and quick and no lag and runs on battery forever. Last charged it 4 days ago, have been using it here and there for reading/surfing net and it still has 50% charge left. Amazing.

To be bored with such an amazing device because of the lack of custom roms is weird. We have root, Titanium Backup, Root Uninstaller, custom launchers - everything we need to clean the stock rom to make it light/efficient. What the hell, dude, just learn how to use some programs and stop complaining. Alternatively, if you are so bored with your 9200, send it to me. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] kipue:
I have to also admit that I also choose a device according to what we find on XDA.

That's why I stay away from less known brands, haha!

But we cannot be too impatient, the Mega is very new and for sure won't have the success of, let's say, the Note 3 here on XDA
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yees-no:
I Do the same atm

Have root TB but still !!

Maybe you will know what I mean if you ever tried wanaam roms

Also dont forget m8 Custom roms is the biggiest reason why we are in XDA devlopers :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] baladev:
I have absolutely nothing againt custom roms! What i have a problem with is the topic of this thread, which is "bored with 9200 because there are no custom roms". If wanaam roms are so great, get the device that has them and be happy.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] yees-no:
Its to show the devlopers how we need there support

Also is the reason why I love android ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] charlie.s:
I installed Wanam's Xposed Framework module on my 9205. I am running Cassie's XtraLiteRom V2 RC. The module does not work. Is it safe to assume that there is some dependency that has been removed?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] jtrakx:
Wanam's framework module requires Xposed framework to be installed first then the module activated in Xposed.

Im not quite sure about the dependency thing you mentioned, but as far as I know both cassie's (deodexed) and Silentlight's (odexed) ROMs are official stock ROM with samsung bloatwares removed and therefore has got nothing to do with xposed. I am using official stock (odexed) XXUAMG4 ROM with some samsung apps manually deleted.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] charlie.s:
I back-tracked and started with the original distribution. Wanam's module works fine. It looks like Cassie's ROM removes something that breaks Wanam. The only question is which one needs to be retained.

Hi , there is no diference between I9205 and I9200 in my oponion , because if you open the back cover of your phone , you can see near the camera writen 3G and below the battery 4G , BUT Samsung itself , never mention that I9200 & I9205 are Identical . I think its matter of bussines policy . I am running my I9200 on Bevin Abraham`s very good ROM and before that has not had Lte or 4G , it has now . but I have another problem with my com.android.phone proccess , sometimes it isnt work , sometimes work just fine , I dont know if this problem is relavant to my ROM or my SIM Card. anyway if you like you can flash I9205 ROM on your I9200 .

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ofar4452:
I have an ASUS MemoPad ME172V that I have rooted successfully.

Afterwards I had and issue with Windows 7 recognizing the tablet when plugged in and allowing access to the microSD/onboard memory.

So I installed the USB drivers for it - downloaded from ASUS.

The device was showing up on my Devices/Printer window as "Unknown" - but had an icon with ME172V under it.

So now what? I need access to the device and the microSD card!

Well, I solved the issue and I wanted to share since I did not find a thread on it.

You need to set the tablet a Media Device to allow file transfer.

To do this - do the following:

- Go to Settings, then Storage.

- In the upper right corner - click the "three square" icon

- This opens "USB Computer Connection" - click it

- Now the window should say - Connect As - select Media Device(MTP)

Hope this helps!

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] conan1600:
Most of life is a choice between one or the other but with the Nexus 7 along with Root, Custom Recovery, cm10.2 unofficial, Faux Clock Kernel Control App and Jassy Release 5 Kernel it might just be possible to have both. Jassy has managed to put together a kernel that combines a 1.9 GHz over clock and a 487 MHz GPU over clock. With a global undervolt of -24 MV I managed to pull off stunning benchmarks, smooth lag free performance and incredible battery time. Just under 13 hours battery time in fact. I did this with a YouTube kung fu movie fest for about 12 and a half hours and a half hour of benchmarks and downloading a few apps. Remember if you game you can not expect this kind of battery performance but it does do great at that as well. I've attached some screenshots of my settings so you can reproduce these results if you would like.

Remember when you Root, ROM and Over clock you do it at your own risk and please thank the fine Developers who gave their time to make this kind of fantasy possible. I in no way had a hand in developing this software, I just took the time to do many benches and battery tests on many Roms and kernels then undervolted a bit.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gareee:
So to replicate your results, we need to flash cyagen, and jassy release 5, and then adjust the settings to replicate yours, or does jassy's release already have some of those settings in it?

What other apps did you download?

Getting longer battery life and a faster tablet is quite attractive! ;)

EDIT I just installed jassy r5, and my quadrant is only 5679.. is something wrong, or do I need to also do the tweaks you listed here first?

EDIT 2: I've set faux to the same setting now, but am still using cleanroom1.3, and the quadrant results are 6787
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] conan1600:
Sorry I never saw your posts. Never looked at the thread again. To replicate my results you would have to download cm10.2 and Jassy release 5 and faux kernel control app paid version and set exactly like in the screen shots. I have since made a few more refinements but nothing you couldn't play with yourself. Make sure you enable mpdecision. Make every screen look like mine.

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Gareee:
Yep, I did duplicate them, but couldn't get quadrant scores anywhere near yours. (they were better though.. it might be a cleanroom issue).

I upgraded to Jassy rev 6, ran into issues, and then just reflashed the stock kernel.

I was hoping we'd see Jassy rev 6 lockup issues fixed, but its been a week now. I'm also read of a few misc cm issues, and I'e been waiting for them to clear up as well. Cleanrom isn't having any issues at all, so I've stuck with it for now.

How's stability with your set-up?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] conan1600:
Cleanrom will not bench as high. Its a stock based ROM. Truth is though once your this high your not gonna see a whole lot of improvement in daily performance unless you go looking for it. Cleanrom is one of the best Roms I've ever used and there is absolutely nothing wrong with sticking with it. I go back and forth between the 2 myself. As themes and tweaks come out for nexus 7 2013 you'll find cleanrom will get even better than it is now also. Wish someone would do a tablet ui lol.

Yeah hesitant to jump to other roms myself at least at this time. Everything is so new finding a "good one" is hard to do at least yet. Though I've used CleanROM's on other devices I've had in the past and love them. Personally if CleanROM comes out with a 1.4 I might consider jumping into it.

My only suggestion would be for you to recommend another kernel tuning app other than Faux's app. I'm just personally not a fan of someone who does nothing but kang, and even then still doesn't credit who he is kanging from.
