[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
yeah... but i'd like to try it at least...

I don't think so. Something is very fishy about my phone. very-VERY strange... I can't install cm10.x cuz' of no update-binary support in cwm v5, and i can't find a way to make TWRP work, nor can I find any CWM v6 install methods... :D srsly WUT :( EVERY OTHER stuff works as intended. everything. all roms before jelly bean. i need to make twrp work or a cwm v6 installation.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Only CM10.2 needs the new CWMv6. CM10 and CM10.1 should work.

Your phone seems to trolling you:laugh:. But seriously, as a last resort I would flash DFP sbf. Gingerbread isn't half bad (especially with MS2Ginger, which is really stable and is compatible with Green Lens too:D).
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
Well then it's trolling me 'cuz CM10 gives the same status 7 error. It IS trolling me. But i'm scared of flashing a DFP sbf. What if things go wrong? I won't be able to rollback then.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
You can try to use twrp on gb roms by replacing the boot menu folder in system by that of cm10 or later. Try once with a clean folder, and once by copying over the existing files.

As for defy plus sbf, if you have a green lens, camera won't work on any gb except ms2ginger. In addition a battery patch must be flashed after every rom for full charging. For red lens only battery patch has to be flashed.

None of the above applies to cm10 and later.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
If things go wrong, try a different SBF.:cool:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
I tried replacing the bootmenu folder with different apps, but all got some "Operation failed!" or "Error with files" in itself, so I also tried to replace some of the files 1 by 1, they still failed. o.O So that could be the reason why the zip won't flash properly... Maybe some safety option somewhere in CM9??? My phone can't seem to handle the recovery zips, only the 2ndinit apk. Very strange!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
That must be done from recovery. I recall helping someone replace the recovery using a flashable zip because only a legacy recovery worked for him. I think it was zer0-gravity. Check my posts on that.

Replacing the recovery files with twrp ones in the zip I had made on that thread should with hopefully.

Also, your problems indicate file system errors, and I'll advise you to flash a different(higher) sbf, since that has in the past worked out well, for me and others. Beyond this point I'm out of ideas.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
another fast question. i recover my phone using the JORDN_U3_97.21.51 method, after that i have to do a root, nandroid, then instantly flash a fixed sbf (firmware.sbf...). its cuz i got the phone 2nd hand, and he f-ed up smth upgrading to gingerbread or so... can it be the root of my problem?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14762402&postcount=143
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Why do you need a fixed sbf? After rooting try directly 2ndinit. Don't restore nandroid. Also, root using framaroot since its much easier and faster. You can jump from 2.1 to

2ndboot directly.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
Cuz' my mb525 got flashed a GB sbf accidentally, from which you can't downgrade (by its user before me), and you can only recover it from éclair via the method i linked. other sbf's wont work
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Ok, so when you flash the first sbf, and root, what stops you from directly using 2ndboot at that point
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
It just won't install, with status 0 or 7.

But right now I grew tired of this problem and i will flash a DFP 231.sbf from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542956

I will follow these steps. Can i do that? (MB525 Red Lens)

edit: 4.5.1-134 DFP-231 Retail.en.EU CEE
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Yes. Flash that and root with framaroot.

Don't follow the guide for rooting, just flash dfp 231 , if it hangs on moto wipe data and cache from stock, and use framaroot.

Depending on eu or cee you've flashed, you may require a kernel to boot successfully with 2ndboot roms(otherwise you will just hang even after waiting a lot). It can be found in the defy custom kernel thread in General

Best of luck
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
Can I flash it any time, or I need to flash it over an other rom?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Kernel(if required) can be flashed after flashing your 2ndboot rom(won't boot without it, but boot menu is accessible). Once flashed, it persists till a sbf is flashed
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
Uh, I meant the DFP 231 sbf. Can I flash it over Éclair?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekguy:
Of course
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gyorgyszemok:
DFP 231 successfully Installed and rooted with framaroot. How do I install cm10 now? What recovery do I use?

nvm: i made it work. thank you <3

Congratulations:)

Hi, After an odin stock rom flash and factory reset ive noticed I no longer have the helicopter video and Over the Horizon music

Wondering if this was because of a factory reset (which wipes data partition) after the flash that it wiped the demo content or the rom didnt include them?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolnessQ:
everything just got wiped same for internal sdcard
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Mustard:
The Gallery app that comes with my S III shows all sorts of "junk" folders that are created by apps (e.g. Re-Volt creates a "LOADING" folder with images, another app has created a "cache" folder etc.).

Is there a Gallery replacement that allows you to hide certain folders?

I think QuickPic allows this. Any more?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonBlade:
try using hideitpro
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
I'm pretty sure that hides things by moving them. If they're folders generated by other apps then that would be a bad idea.

My advice would be to use a file explorer (ES, Root Explorer etc.) and create a file called ".nomedia" in each folder. That tells the system to ignore that folder in media searches, but if the gallery apps you use parse the folders themselves then it probably won't work. I've had mixed success with that, but it works for stock gallery apps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinayakagarwal1996:
simply rename the folder to .foldername(suppose the name is foldername). the app would simply skip the folder.

you dont need a special app for this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Mustard:
Shame things like this need to be done in Android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
It's the same in all operating systems. Software does what it's told.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] King Mustard:
No, you're right, I understand, I just mean iOS's Photos app for example is very neat and tidy.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archer:
That's because you're probably only capable of keeping images (photos & downloads etc.) in 1 folder so it doesn't parse the rest of the space for more :p
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MoonBlade:
this seems cool :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RoberGalarga:
Yep, QuickPic can do it (long press >options >exclude).

[Ouya General] c6ke:
Hey everyone,

it took me some time to get this to work but if you happen to own an Ouya and a FLIRC Dongle you are now finally able to use any remote compatible with FLIRC (which is almost every infrared-remote including Apple Remotes) in order to control the console and especially control XBMC on it.

I created a tutorial explaining how here:

peterfranssen.de/2013/08/04/getting-flirc-to-work-with-ouya-and-xbmc/

Just some more input for the eager ;)

Cheers for the help from the Android section on rooting! :good:

hmmpf- I'm not allowed to post links, yet. Sorry for the fuss. Maybe a Mod can change this post into a real link...
[Ouya General] asturnauta:
Thanks for the tutorial, i just bought a flirc and i will use this.
[Ouya General] blinkin:
Cool, will try it out
[Ouya General] 27scoob:
Hi , I followed your instructions and have tried to program the Apple remote . I have the up , down , left , right working , but the middle , menu and play/pause buttons do not work for me even though the programming went fine. any ideas as to why or what I might try to fix this ? Thanks by the way this will be a great help when I get it all working. Cheers !!!!
[Ouya General] 27scoob:
http://www.peterfranssen.de/2013/08/04/getting-flirc-to-work-with-ouya-and-xbmc/
[Ouya General] c6ke:
Did you map the keys with:

- SELECT on the remote = 1 on the keyboard in FLIRC software

- BACK on the remote = 2 on the keyboard in FLIRC software

- PLAY/PAUSE on the remote = F3 on the keyboard in FLIRC software

?

If yes:

Could it be you misspelled the filename in the cat-command while copying it into your system/usr/keylayout folder? Look into that folder on your ouya (use a file-explorer) and check if it exists correctly: name should be Vendor_20a0_Product_0001.kl

If both doesn't work we should check whether there is a new vendor number with flirc...

Too bad I couldn't use this and also external HDD :/ wish ouya had more USB ports.

Hi folks!

I have ordered and tried that replacement battery (look in google, from sunsky. can not yet post urls).

Though I had read somewhere that its actual capacity may vary from 2000 up to 2500mAh, I wanted give it a try because it is not so expensive, with a hope that it helps a bit.

Anyone else have tried it already?

Unfortunately I can tell, that I feel no difference to our standard 1800mAh. But I may be wrong.

For that reason I would like use a battery life testing tool and as a reference point, what tool would you suggest me to use to check the battery life from both?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
I've tried that battery (http://www.sunsky-online.com/view/3...r+Samsung+T699+++Galaxy+S+Relay+4G+++i415.htm)

Unfortunately I found it was sh!ter then the stock battery we have.

Also that sunsky battery lacks NFC. It's cheap for a reason, bad quality in my experience.

Check Nards tweak to the stock 2100mah Samsung S3 battery.

I've performed that trick to 4 of those batteries, and can safely say they perform wonders.

There is a Gold S3 battery available....

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] esilence:
Hello dillalade

yes it is that one from your link which I tried also. I had been indeed influenced by the thread from Nards tweak when gtmaster303 mentioned that battery.

Thats why I wanted give a try to this one first before going further to the tweak.

Also I wanted post this to Accessories first, but because this seems like a question so I came here, and after collecting details I could report there my results as well. (The video on the registration makes you a bit down and stressed, so trying to be careful.)

Can anyone suggest me an app to test the capacity in order to compare them?

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gtmaster303:
I've been looking into the gold battery and you can't always assume they're all the same. Get it from the same seller that's been verified to supply good batteries.

Either way it's still a win for us as the battery has a much higher capacity already. We should see a great improvement in battery no matter which S3 battery we buy

Sent from my Galaxy S Relay
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
I suspect 'unable to return' won't be your only problem.......

From past readings, I read the Gold S3 battery was slightly thicker than the stock S3 battery.

If my interpretation is correct, then that gold battery (being thicker than stock) would be very hard to accommodate in our Relay battery slot.

I say this from my experience in already utilising the stock S3 battery in our Relay. In that the stock S3 battery is 'already' thicker than our stock Relay battery, such that the stock S3 battery is already a very tight fit (thickness wise.) So much so that closing the back housing door on our Relay is already as snug as I'd like.

Hence ifffff that Gold S3 battery is indeed thicker then the stock S3 battery, than you may have a hard time trying to close the battery cover on our phone with the Gold battery.

In addition to the tighhhht squeeze issue.... similarly to the previously discussed Sunsky battery above - neither can cater for NFC.

All that I can say from weeks of experience with the stock S3 batteries is that I'm able to achieve ~20-30 hours uptime with roughly 2-3hours talk time and 3-4hours screen on time.

I cannot complain thus far. I'd say, It's worth the extra pennies for that OEM Samsung S3 battery with NFC for that extra juice.

;)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] esilence:
alright, we can forget this 2500mAh battery..

I was using it now for not even one week, check the attached pics how it starts behaving on charging now.

It stops charging with 94%, both via pc usb or direct charger.

as an information for others i agree to move this thread to accessories, as i stop experimenting with this battery now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] dillalade:
Yes, that's another thing I failed to mention. I too noticed that Sunsky battery failed to charge to 100%.

I guess we can safely conclude these batteries are cheap as nutts for a reason - they are poor quality. Ridiculous how they get away with stating these bogus MaH capacities.

Go for S3 battery, you will be pleasantly surprised.

I have 4 of them, all of which are rock solid (Samsung OEM products.)

Another trick you can do with batteries that are too thick, get a bulky phone case and leave the battery door off altogether.

I have received the battery now http://s44.photobucket.com/user/blu...0502/05020201/05020201bluestone001_a.jpg.html

Unfortunately it is too thick, 5mm while ours are 4mm.

I can not close the back cover with it, so I can not use it. .. disappointed and sad :(

Is the original s3 battery then 4.5mm when Nard says "a bit thicker"?
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] gtmaster303:
I find that a little hard to believe... how can 1mm make that big of a difference? (pun intended)

is the back cover really that flush that there's no extra room? Not even a slight amount?

Dear all,

:?: I have some queries regarding the following, could someone please kindly help me ??? :cry:

1. How do I backup Magican's Rom (OS, Radio and Ext) using romupdate.exe ???

2. If I wanted to put the backup rom from SD to Harddisk (the full rom from 1), do I use the same ntrw method and it will create as one single file ??

3. The file from 2, If I restore from bootloader, it will restore all 3 "sections" ???

4. What is the point of replacing the 220 (or 416 bytes) of the upgarde rom (from the old backup rom) ????

5. Replacing the bytes of the rom, does it affect the language, operator etc. identification of my device (like a Chinese device will become English) ??

6. When using the NoID exe to upgrade ROM, does it change my device's language, operator etc... ??? Or it just simply ignore the check (say for example if I have a Chinese O2 mini device, after using NoID exe upgrade to English, my device is still identified as Chinese machine so that next time if I get an official release of Chinese O2 mini shipped Rom, I can simply upgrade without using the NoID exe ????) !?

7. How would one check the identification of the device in regards to the model, language, operator etc. ???

I know I might sound like a fool and that are lots of questions, but have been searching the forum without sccuess !!

Thank you in advance !!!! :wink:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CStauch:
Dear community,

i have a reboot problem with my gnex gsm for several weeks now. The phone seems to be rebooting randomly after freezing. The only situation where no reboot occurs is when it is attached to the pc via usb docking station in developer mode.

Ususally, i had cyanogenmod nightlies installed, but i also tried stock 4.2.2 and 4.3 images. Moreover i tried several full wipes using cwm and twp recovery. After the last wipe, I did not recover anything using titanium backup. At the moment i am running on 4.3 stock image and stock recovery with no root. Bootloader is still unlocked. The phone keeps rebooting...

Has anybody an idea where to locate the problem (probably some certain log files) ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viskon:
My GNex had that problem. It started with random reboots. Then got into a boot loop from which it never recovered.

Good luck. Hope you don't have the same fate that I had.

Try flashing back to stock and lock and unlock bootloader. If that doesn't stop the reboots, IMO, time to look for a new phone.

Edit : You might want to send it to Samsung for repair, if you are still under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Check battery connections, replace battery

Update us later
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CStauch:
I've already tried your suggestion, but it didn't help.

Actually, I'm still under warranty, but i was hoping to solve the problem by myself to avoid being without phone for a few weeks.

Already tried that, i have a replacement battery. By the way, the reboot problem also occurs when charging from the normal power supply. Only the usb connection with debug mode avoids rebooting.

Thank you for your advice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Okay, so what do you think you can do next? That replacement battery, is it a stock battery?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CStauch:
Yes, it is not distiguishable from the original one.

I was hoping, that there can be any hint in some sort of log file or something.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CStauch:
I'm using both the original cable and two docking stations from amazon, one with ac/dc adaptor and one with usb. The phone always reboots no matter if it is charging or not. Only when connected to usb in debug mode, there is no reboot.
