It's kind of like riding a bike, u never really forget. You're already rooted and running a custom ROM, search around and find one that u like. I would recommend S3Rx 2.1, but that's just me, I prefer tw ROMs over aosp. And as far as apps to SD, there are apps in the market to help with that, but keep in mind, not all apps will function properly when moved to SD... Good luck!!

Has anyone managed to seperate the O2 battery plugin from the rest of the Active nonsense?

I could really do with a today plug in that shows normal and back-up battery life and there's no way I'm prepared to put up with having to soft reset every hour just to get it!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Novembre5:
After searching for several days I was finally able to get my AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 off of Edge and back to 3/4g LTE. I did a combination of several fixes, and this has worked great for me. I wanted to share with others who may be stuck on Edge and have not had success with other solutions. Can others stuck on Edge please try this fix that I did, and post back their result.

Here is what I did. I followed what was posted HEREl. After doing that I used EFS Professional, selected restore, and then checked off "Repair Unknown Baseband / No Signal" and clicked on Format EFS. I then followed THISl youtube video and restored my original IMEI.

I did this fix three days ago, and I have since restarted my phone several times, did a battery pull, and even a factory reset, and I still am receiving 3/4G / LTE on my AT&T Galaxy S3.

Please let me know what happens for anyone else who tries this. Also, please be sure to do a backup of your NV data, just in case this does not work the same for everyone.

Once again google ordering system as failed me. My all access music at 7.99 was doing fine billing to my T-Mobile account well not anymore it had a problem and where it could not renew and lost the special pricing within a few days. So I give up spent 2 hours trying to work with google to fix this and I can't ever get the pricing back. And my account renew last month fine.

Another even better issue is I have ordered about 30 nexus 4's and most were from the play store but at some point I found it cheaper to just order a replacement and I didn't have to pay tax saved like 30 bucks. I would just not send back the original wait to get billed. Well lets just say there is a about 3,000 dollars (I never paid for them I know) worth of phones just pending it's been like 6 months or more for most. I thought it had to do with a expired card which is not expired (this is related to the music all access problem I had to update card info) even with a brand new card orders still have not moved.

I'm done with paying google for any services they are too big to have such a stupid system.
[Nexus 4 General] sn0warmy:
Let me get this straight...

You ordered a few replacements and failed to send the original phones back to Google. At which point they kept billing you full price for the new phones they were sending you, accruing to "$3,000" that you still owe Google. Meanwhile, you don't understand why they will no longer honor your $7.99/month all access pricing after your last $7.99 payment failed. And in the end you are angry that Google can't get their "ordering" right?

Your logic is astounding...
[Nexus 4 General] simms22:
fix YOUR own issues of not paying what YOU owe, or google isnt going to be the only one thats ignoring you.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] converse5:
Alright so here is the question

I have a S2 EFS Backup. and i have a S3 device

Now i dont have EFS backup of S3 and it is corrupted.

Can i use S2's EFS backup on S3?

I know its a weird question but is it possible?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chaitanyapatel8880:
No... You cant... Because of 2 reasons...

1. Changing EFS will change the IMEI which is ILLEGAL.

2. The EFS backup of s2 will work only on s2 and not on s3.

BUT

If you have corrupted files of EFS from s3, there are some developers who might be able to help you to recover...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] converse5:
could you guide me who those devs are?

I have corrupted EFS and i do not have the genuine backup

Another Question: How to port n8000/10/13 Roms to N8020 (only in updater script... )

[HTC One S] Demost:
Good evening guys,

I'd like to achieve a smartphone with only 2 colors, the black and the light blue. I know this colors are related to Holo, i started to look for launchers and rom and i found the Holo Black Beam rom, which is derived from the original Black Beam. In both of them i haven't obtained my objective yet.

HoloBB is the one which gets closer to my idea, but the applications label are purple , the date and time on the status bar is white and there's no version based on the older Kernel 3.0 and the new kernel has a very annoyng bug (delay on screen turn on).

Black Bean has a version based on the old kernel where there's no lockscreen bug, but even with Holocrazy there are still white things (applications label, date/time on status bar, setting texts, sms, keyboard, some default apps like calculator and most of the fonts).

I'd like to know the best way to proceed to achieve my goal, without the annoyng bug of the screen on delay.

Thanks for paying me attention

I use my Nexus 10 for TONS of things, and one of them is playing emulators on the go. Very very cool stuff.

To any of you doing that, what kind of controller are you using? Bluetooth? USB?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] StackUnderflow:
Hi,

This is for a Canadian T889V (note 2) from Wind Mobile.

A few weeks ago I tried to use the online form to get an unlock code from Wind (they let you have the code after 6 months for $10), and the code didn't work, I called their customer support multiple times, and all I got was, try the same code again (tried it rooted/unrooted/completely stock, etc, etc...), and I'm down to the last unlock attempt.

They also suggested I call Samsung, which I did, but the Samsung rep just told me to call Wind again.

So, in the end, my situation is that I have 1 unlock attempt left, I have a pure stock phone (running 4.1.1, Baseband T889VVLALJ4 (I used Odin to flash image from SamMobile)) that has the flash counter tripped to 4, but at the Odin screen, it says:

I have tried what was suggested in this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2014982 at least 10 times, I got the PERSO_NV_INIT is SUCCESSFUL message at the end at least 7 times, and in all attempts, when I put in the rogers SIM card from my iPad (only other micro SIM I have), it asks for an unlock code.

So now, I think my only option left is to try a third party unlocking service, and hope that it works... does anyone have any suggestions for such service?

Also, is it possible to reset the unlock counter at all/if this fails horribly, am I stuck with Wind for good?

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] vseslija:
Hi

I am also with wind and recently obtained the code same way you did. I am rooted running jedix 16 at the time with twrp as my custom recovery. So i am on 4.1.2 and the code worked right away. I dont think you should be on 4.1.1 to do it.

Sent from SGH-T889v Canadian Wind Mobile
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] StackUnderflow:
The first time I tried it I used the code on Jedi Master 10 (which is based on 4.1.2 if I'm not mistaken), I also tried the code on 4.1.2 stock (**MA3 base band), and 4.1.1 (**LJ4 baseband).

Right now I think my main priority should be figuring out if its possible to reset the unlock attempts counter (and/or finding other unlocking procedures to bypass the code/counter completely).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] StackUnderflow:
I think I just screwed myself even more, I took it to a shady place to see if its possible to get it unlocked, they did some weird voodoo crap which I think bricked by modem. (any attempts to get it into service mode shows a blank screen)

I tried reflashing everything and restoring an old EFS from long ago, but the baseband version in settings->about phone says Unknown, and it kept saying no SIM card even if I use my original SIM....

Did anyone encounter this before? how to fix this? do I need to get the hardware fixed? is Samsung likely to help?

Edit: I'm fairly sure they used and NsPro
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] stewi21:
You could probably just flash a new baseband and all will be well... Also the RIL needs to match the baseband as well for it to work and come up in about phone, so try downloading get RIL from the play store and see if it detects a non matching RIL (it needs to match the baseband) also it requires root

I'm not sure sorry, because I bought my captivate off XDA and the time I bricked it I had to mail it to adam outler and get it made unbrickable

try downloading an ODIN package from samfirmware and flashing it, because the .zip packages you linked wouldnt flash the modem and RIL. Also GLW is Wind on samfirmware, so just search T889V and choose the newest GLW package, youll need to make an account to download it

I reflashed rooted injected stock ROM, did triangle away, and unrooted, and I'll bring it to Wind and see if they will fix it for me tomorrow.

hi guys, im thinking of getting L1020 for my next device, a few questions about the topic of this thread.

As the device im getting is from my local operator, i suppose there's gonna be a ton of bloatwares added onto it.

I'm coming from an Android device and what we actually does is flash a country/region localised firmwares and do without the operator modifications.

Are there such versions of firmwares or similar modifications for this phone? Or is what had been discussed already the subject of my post?

And is there other Nokia forums that i can visit to get an idea of related developmental topics? Since L1020 is kinda empty now.
