But flashing PIT may brick your phone .

Rather an odd comment for a service centre to send user away and tell them flash PIT .

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] silt1:
Just got an update to XXUBMF8 on my i9505. Before the update (I believe it was XXUAMDE) my status bar was transparent with both stock and non-stock wallpapers. Now it's black with both stock and non-stock wallpapers. I tried installing Nova launcher as suggested by some and turning the bar transparency option on but no change whatsoever. I did some reading and some people had the same problem but just with non-stock wallpapers.

I am perfectly happy with TouchWIZ and everything I just want this damn ugly black bar to be gone or semi-transparent. Not sure if it was some ingenious idea of Samsung's programmers or it's just some bug affecting certain number of phones. Would flashing my phone to the latest XXUBMGA help? Any other solution? If there is any other option, I'd prefer not to flash any mods for now.

Thanks a lot.

I've seen a few articles about lately bemoaning the lack of any high-end smartphones with screens less than 4.7" in size. As far as I can see it's true! I'm coming to the end of a two year contract with a Desire S and, although it's a little small for Web browsing and reading, I don't want anything much bigger to be honest. It's not like I have small hands but big screens are useless for using one-handed and they are too big in a trouser pocket.

Ideally I'd like to go up to a 4" screen, 4.3" max (even my wife's old Galaxy S2 was too big for my liking). What, in your opinions, are the best phones with these form factors? Non-removable batteries and lack of SD card expansion are deal breakers for me too so that may rule a few out but I might consider them if they were qualitatively better on other counts or had good capacities to begin with.

Don't say a Nokia! :silly:

Hey all, I ended up destroying the screen on my HTC DNA not too long ago. I'm claiming warranty on it, so after I paid a deductible I should be getting a new one within the day. That said, my broken DNA is unlocked. I followed the instructions given in this thread for relocking the bootloader that was unlocked by the moonshine method. I completed most of the steps with just some connectivity issues, but I cannot complete the rest. The last step, 'writesecureflag 3' requires the phone to be in USB debugging mode, which my phone is not in anymore after the data was wiped in the last step. I cannot change it, because the display is completely trashed.

Is there any other ay for me to enable the debugging? The digitizer is still working, so I could try nagivating side by side once the replacement comes in, but I would like to pursue an alternate method if one exists. Thanks.
[HTC Droid DNA] _phoey:
If your digitizer works you could try to do it blindly. There might be an ADB command that can do so, but I'm not sure.

[HTC Droid DNA] mushroomhead13xx:
Honestly if the screen is dead they won't even look into the actual hardware of the phone. They're just going to replace the screen and hard-wipe it restoring everything. You really don't have anything to worry about. The only thing that affects is warranty purposes. This is an insurance claim, you're fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] jayact~:
I really appreciate the responses. I wasn't sure if they would check on an insurance claim, but I'm glad they don't. I ended up doing it blind earlier, and I was able to enable the USB debugging and complete the process. Thanks for the help!

what do i do if i rooted my galaxy s4 but have to send it back to t-mobile for an exchange now?? My pbone went on sale big time (up front cost anyway ) and we can really use that money, so i got on the phone, and the only way to take advantage is to send them the phome i ordered just 2-3 weeks ago, and have them send me a newbie... First of all, they sent me the wrong color (i wanted the white , but they sent me black) it did grow on me i must say tho... I have already rooted this phone to get some control over some aspects of the device, and now i am not sure if i can send this one back this way?? Has anyone ever been in this situation with t-mobile and the Galaxy S-series devices that could give me some advice?? This is my opportunity to try the color i originally wanted, get the payment options that are best suited for me, and since i have spent a couple/few weeks with the phone already, i feel that a brand new device could be setup even better tailored to/for myself, now that i know what i am doing (this is my first Android device EVER, so the platform is BRAND NEW to me, every bit of it)... I am having fun with the new platform tho, and everything seems to be working great, but a few re-dos on the initial setup can only make it better, if it is possible with a device that has been rooted already (sending it back to them and still getting credited back for it...

Thanks in advance to any and all that would help with this matter...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dez93_2000:
Hi all. I've had my mob off & on for a while and decided to upgrade to SlimBean ROM based on recommendations - after having decided a new ROM would be the best way to improve performance, and assuming that the latest one would be the best.

I've found the performance to be equally sluggish after a week or so of bedding in, and I'm still using the same low number of apps.

Two questions:

1. Are others out there experiencing snappy, low-lag, fast, fun mobile computing on this device while rocking the latest android build, either stock or with a custom ROM?

2. Are any others out there rocking older stock/ROMs to minimise OS overhead?

2b. or old/custom apk versions of apps to decrease bloat?

Cheers in advance

All I can tell you is my what works for me......

I broke my Epic 4G Touch so I had to activate the Nexus S 4G until I pull the trigger on a new phone. I went with the Stock rooted 4.1.1 and Matrix kernel overclocked. It runs much faster and with less lag then my nephew's NS4G running CM10.1 ROM. I showed him the difference and he is (I will be) flashing it back for him.

What are you like regarding apps & widgets? "The bare essentials" or "everything I want"?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheesiepoof:
I'm resurrecting this phone for a friend, and I'm also wondering what ROM to flash.

All I can tell you is that when I upgraded this to 4.2 last year it was unusable, especially with Google Now enabled. The phone simply ran too slow on anything 4.x for me - perhaps consider using a 2.4 ROM?

I haven't had a phone have call quality or sound quality anywhere near the Nexus S since. 2.4 + Voodoo Sound was good stuff.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
Slim 4.3 beta 1 with greenify app. That's all you need to keep it fresh all the time. And use slimsizer to reduce bloat.

And don't forget to enable "Allow purging of assets" and "Kernel samepage merging" in Settings>Advanced Options>Performance>Memory Management
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dez93_2000:
Thanks. Is that beta stable enough for daily use? I assume those memory management options are only available in the 4.3 builds, as 'Performance' doesn't appear to be an available option.

Am I right in thinking there's a list somewhere of which apps I can safely remove with SlimSizer?

And is greenify similar to LagFIx, or is it worth having both?

Cheers!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ej8989:
Yes it's stable enough for daily use. Don't change kernels (for now).

Those memory management options were present in Cyanogenmod ROMs way back Jelly Bean 4.1 so they're present on most non-stock ROMs. (different location in settings menu)

LIST HERE: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487073

Note: It's not updated.

Nope. Different functions. But yes it CAN be worth having both if you think they're boosting your phone's performance.

In my case, i only use greenify.

Got em both now, cheers!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cheesiepoof:
Been on Slim Bean 4.3 Beta 1 for a day now and having no issues. The ROM image is only 84 mb, I don't think you'll be needing SlimSizer! Use the memory performance settings, they make all the difference. I'm not using greenify or lagfix yet, so far unnecessary. I'm pretty amazed this is running 4.3 as well as it is.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dez93_2000:
I'm waiting to hear back from an app developer on how to back that up, which means I've not installed SlimBean 4.3 yet but intend to asap.

Regarding this:

A question: the installation info says:

Step 0: You must be rooted!

Step 1: Download the Busybox installer app and install the Busybox to /system/xbin

Step 2: Reboot to recovery and install the BM.Tweaks.NEXUS.S.zip file.

So my full Rom upgrade should be:

1 full wipe (means: wipe data / factory reset and format /system)

2 install Slim 4.3 ROM

3 install Slim 4.3 gapps

4 Reboot

5 install Busybox to /system/xbin

6 Reboot to recovery and install the BM.Tweaks.NEXUS.S.zip file

7 install LagFix & Greenify (for reference. they should auto-install for me through the play store)

Anyone think the above process is in the wrong order or any parts are a bad idea or clash with each other?

Cheers for all the tips guys, this is feeling like a pretty useful thread!

Used 2.89 RUU

Flashed Revolutionary hboot 1.40.1100

Flash 4ext rc5

Flashed CM10.2 and GApps

Booted right away!

SO IMO, the problem was 2.95 from sprint or latest 4ext or eng hboot. Most probably 2.95 fw.

so just try with 2.89 fw or do what i did.

Depending on the combinations I would get the following results. Stuck at splash, bootloop at splash, stuck at boot animation hardkeys not backlit, stuck at bootanimation hardkeys backlit and charging led on (phone was connected to charger) .

M-A Installer : install zip -> reboot system

CWM : reboot recovery -> install zip -> reboot system

as you can see reboot recovery is removed using m-a installer so about 2-3 min time is saved

Also it maybe fix "annoying setup wizard" bug ( I did'nt test )
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] smeroni68:
May be the reboot to recovery will give you a saving of 30 seconds... But only the trouble to use terminal, typing the commands and write correctly the path... I think you lost the saving of reboot to recovery... That's my thinking.

I just saw this while on the xda app, but don't you think that could also be in the android development section

Reason being that I saw something like this a while ago there by androguide.fr the pimp my rom guy. It was called flash Gordon or something.

Still this is pretty cool.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] ze7zez:
I agree with smeroni68 that the method using TWRP/CWM is pure and simple, because it is running in an environment in which they operate limited processes.

In the case of alireza7991, the Android operating system can be started the process of supervising other processes can lead to conflicts.

This method is useful for the advanced user.

You can make it easier to run scripts, for example, by means of SManager.

alireza7991's method is a very interesting option, but the system is larger by two files: ub [224244 B] and m-a_core [4001 B].

These files files can be potentially dangerous to the system. Any process can find it and can use it.

.

I will repeat: alireza7991 method is useful for advanced users.
