You got pwnd. And bent apparently.

---------- Post added at 01:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:25 AM ----------

I just dumped my HTC One for the SGS 4. If you want a Nexus experience why not just flash CM 10.2 on your GS4??? First thing I did and I just got my GS4 a few hours ago. Smooth as **** with no issues I can see so far. No lag whatsoever too.

The Samsung Galaxy "Nexus" 4 blows the Nexus 4 away on every single front possible. There is no positive to this move.

You're going backwards.

Hi.

I just wanted to make this to give more info on where to upload your ROM. There are lots of places, but I wanted to make a list and give info on some sites to upload to, i,e dropbox.

Some websites, Dropbox in particular, will terminate/lockdown your account if it receives lots of abnormal public traffic. The reason behind this, I don't know, but I don't recommend uploading to dropbox. I recommend mega.co.nz as a Dropbox alternative.

Also some websites are blocked in China due to censorship. I'll put a list below of some sites that aren't blocked (As far as I know):

http://mega.co.nz

http://d-h.st

http://androidfilehost.com

http://goo.im

http://sourceforge.com

http://pan.baidu.com/ (It's in Chinese, so if you're going to use this use Google Translate to navigate around unless you know Chinese)

Please help me add more to the list of host websites not blocked in China, or correct me if you see one that's blocked that I've listed as not.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Double_U:
Hi,

Following a tutorial on this site, I managed to root and install TWRP 2.6 on my nexus 4 and I had Android 4.3 running. After a notification about an OTA update (I believe the second very small security update), I'm now stuck on the Google name at boot. No coloured animation or anything.

I can still get into TWRP but it shows the "No OS installed" message (rebooting anyway gets me the white Google name).

It seems that fastboot is no longer working either.

adb devices works but fastboot devices does not.

I tried the TWRP sideload feature to install the latest OTA 4.3 image but that did not work either.

I searched for this error and one thread required fastboot, which does not work and the other suggested using adb push. I pushed the latest 4.3 OTA but the installation failed. I then pushed the stock 4.3 image but its installation failed as well. (the error was : "No MD5 file found" and "unable to mount /system"

I don't know much more about adb so I really need help to get my nexus 4 working again :(

Any suggestions?

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Hello there,

After took my time to consider about what to buy and choiced the ZU, I am now looking at which MicroSD to put inside and got really attract by the sandisk extreme pro in 32Gb. In term of perf in both random and sequential transfer are top notch and as been proved to be even higher than the actual transfer rate given by Sandisk (tested on computer). I saw several benchmark and it was proven to have about 2 times the transfer rate of a sandisk microsd ultra on a galaxy SIII and Note 2.

Now I wonder about how does it work on the Xperia Z Ultra, anybody have this card and did run a bench?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...re-really-really-fast-with-benchmark-results/

See the above link. Unless the ultra supports UHS-1 you will get class 10 performance. You will still get quicker than the normal class 10 cards but your not going to get the full achievable performance out of the card.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Yes, I saw this test. I saw all of theme maybe ^^, reason why I came asking here if people have this card on the ultra. Some other phones give a better results.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
"Please be informed that UHS-1 (Ultra high speed) is equivalent to class 10. All UHS-1 memory cards have 10MB/s of minimum data transfer speed same as a class 10 card. There is no difference in the data transfer speeds of these memory cards and also they are identical in their technical specifications as well. All SDHC and SDXC class 10 memory cards that we are manufacturing are UHS-1 also."

Thats straight from Sandisk when i inquired a while back..

UHS-2 is 30MB/s

This is to be released 2014
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Anyway I didn't make this post for trolling about cards, just wanna know if someone actually use it on the ultra and have some results. Always so annoying to talking about memory cards because each person have his own way of thinking about it. I am not a newbie memory card user, I know the details and how it work. So no need to come and say things that are not at they place on this thread.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
I have the 64Gb sanDisk Ultra UHS-1

In my galaxy s4 (octa-core) i get 10-12 Mb/s...

in my old Note i get 10-14 Mb/s...

Bloody strange! and clearly depends on the device
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Its the devices that are holding these card back.. If you look at the test results on Androd police the cards are achieving much faster speeds in a card reader hooked up to a pc.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
On HTC Sensation xe

Class 10 sandisk 8gb classic 10-12 Mb/s

Class 10 sandisk 32gb classic 10-16 Mb/s

Class 10 sandisk 32gb ultra 16-24 Mb/s

It is different! Root access modify read ahead and some other commands values and the ultra give better results. So if the phone can treat transfer better and modify some value that influence cache treatment and i/o database performances you can, with a better card have better transfer rate.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
yeah of course i was rooted on both devices, but left the I/O read-ahead alone... but after the cache is gone, it still bottlenecks to the speed the card and device can handle. (I'm talking 100mb files for testing here)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
I am looking more at the 64GB card

http://shop.sandisk.com/store/sdisk...?ClickID=bmkkezmuslngvemy1dkdfdmsyl6lzmdnzqvv

How does android handle SDXC? I have never used it before.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Android and new devices handle it very well. Old devices had trouble to handle 32gb but now it can take on 64gb without problem.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SUPERUSER:
Thank you, Im glad to hear that! Yes I remember the days when having an SD card in my android device back in 2010, from time to time I had to stick it in the computer and delete the partition with gparted to start all over.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bASKOU:
Got my microSD extreme 32gb and here as attachment a sd card bench with the internal memory as well.

The internal memory speed is really amazing, no wonder why games launch so fast. And it clearly show that Sony gave us a really amazing sdcard reader, 41/31 show performances above of what a microSD ultra can give.

For those interested to bench your memory you can use A1 SD Bench available on play store. For test your sd card you need to set the directory manually. /storage/removable/sdcard1 and for more accurate results select long test.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] IAmBrock:
I used 64gb micro sd card in my old samsung galaxy s2. It worked fine with no problem. It will work in the Z Ultra also.
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] salmanaman:
I have the Samsung Galaxy s4 zoom.. I was hoping someone can get Multiwindow on here
[Samsung Galaxy S 4 Zoom] kil43:
I believe this to require more processing power than this phone has. I.E. the first phone to offer this was the S3 which was quad core, we have dual but must say when i had the S3 i never used it. The zoom has decent multitasking so i still don't see the need for multi window.

Retard alert* no kil43 galaxy note 2 had it. Was then made for s3 by DEVS. Not officially Samsunh. Multi window was on note 2 first.

***LINKS ARE FIXED***

Decided to make a thread for my boot animations for the Bonestock ROM by AndyBones.

Have to give thanks to [MENTION=2586080]andybones[/MENTION] (for a kickass ROM) and [MENTION=2026779]gadget![/MENTION] (for the images). Also thanks to my friend Mike for a couple Photoshop pointers.

Below are all the boot animations I have created so far. Need some more ideas and color options!

Currently working on animating the skull.

The pulsing glow animations look better on the phone than they do on here. Apparently the pulsing preview images dont pulse if you are looking at them on tap a talk.

These are tested on both the S3 and S4 (Pre 4.3).

***S3 users are good to go flashing which ever animation you like. S4 users, if you are on a pre 4.3 BoneStock ROM you are good to go. If on the latest 4.3 BoneStock ROM these are not working. I am going to be finding a solution soon. S4 users on a pre 4.3 ROM will also need to download and flash the file in the S4boot folder in my link (if you have already flashed this just download whichever animation you want and flash it).***

***One link will now take you to all the animations.***

Install instructions:

1. Download animation of your choice

2. Move animation you downloaded to /system/media folder. It will probably ask you to replace the existing one. You can do so if you want or before moving new animation add .bak to end of original one.

3. Set permissions of new animation to rw-r--r--

4. Reboot

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
Glad you like them. If there is another color you would like to see let me know.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad1600:
Wolfballz, first off, many thanks for making and offering these up. One of the few things I didn't like (and admittedly, its a small thing) about BoneStock was the Nexus boot animation ("huh? why Nexus?") so getting to replace that is awesome. I especially like the pulsating animations.

I must not be doing it correctly though, since I am not showing the newly downloaded boot animation. At first, I wasn't getting any change, but I realized I wasn't setting the permissions correctly. But even after changing permissions to RW-R-R I am still not getting the correct boot animation. Weirdly enough, instead I am getting a generic blue Android one (similar to the one from my HP TouchPad running a 10.1 ROM called OaT 10.1).

here's the steps I have been doing:

1. Downloading the Boot animation file from here. It goes to SD card/downloads.

2. Since it is downloading with a (1) after the file name, I rename it to bootanimation.zip (and it asks me if I want to write over existing one... yes)

3. I use Root Explorer to move the file to system/media, it asks if I want to replace existing one, I say yes.

4. I use Root Explorer to confirm the permissions (RW-R-R).

5. I reboot.

I've tried a few times... keep getting the generic boot animation after the Samsung name, then it goes into BoneStock. I also tried downloading a different boot animation, but same result.

I know it must be a step I am doing or not doing... can you point where I am going wrong? Especially confused since it somehow downloaded a different animation. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
I think the green one should come stock in the ROM now lol. Looks good bud.

If I've helped, please hit the thanks button
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
What kernel are you using? If I remember correctly some kernels don't support custom boot animations but i may be wrong. You mentioned that when you download the animation you get a (1) after it. Usually that means you have another file named bootanimation.zip in your download folder. I would start by deleting any bootanimation.zip file in your download folder then re-download one from above. Then go into your /system/media folder and add .bak to end of the current bootanimation.zip in there then copy new one from download folder and paste into /system/media and set permissions. Then boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and reboot. If that doesnt get it going for you then i'm not sure. You could also try fixing permissions in recovery also. Let me know how it goes and then we can look into it more.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad1600:
Thanks Wolfballz. I am using the stock kernel that came with BoneStock, so I am guessing its one that does support custom boot animations.

The multiple zips in the download folder may be causing the mixup, so I will try the steps you describe above. Odd though that the stock android animation showed up... is it possible by removing the nexus one included stock in BoneStock it grabbed whatever boot animation it could?

I am guessing worst case I can reflash the ROM one more time, start over with the Nexus boot animation, no?

UPDATE: Success! Thanks for the patient extra instructions. Rocking with the first custom boot animation (Cyan pulsing one).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
I would ask Andy if the stock kernel supports custom boot animations. Let me know what he says cause I will update the OP regarding that. I personally have ktoonsez latest kernel for 4.1.2 touchwiz roms. I would try the steps I gave you before going through a whole new reflash.

I PMd andy about the stock kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad1600:
Thanks again, but betting the stock kernel does support dusk boot animations since I successfully downloaded and installed yours... thanks again for all the help. Loving the new look!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
So you got one of my animations working on stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nomad1600:
Yup, the first one (cyan, pulsing). I don't know if wiping cache and dalvic cache was needed but I did anyway. As much as I like the new boot animation, I also appreciate the lesson on installing custom boot animations, so thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
No problem. Glad I could help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schu9120:
These look really nice!

I was thinking about making a bone stock bootani myself but I've just been too damn busy. Let me know if you need any help making flashable .zips or anything.

Another method for installing a "bootanimation.zip " is to put it in data/local. That way you don't have to set permissions and you won't lose the animation when flashing a new ROM version (unless you wipe data)

Sent from my GS³
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfballz:
Thanks. Didnt know about putting it in data/local:cool:

I think a lot of people wipe data when flashing unless they dirty flash.

I need some tips on flashing EL26 or EL29 recovery kernals from GB27 rom.

When flashed (odin, mobile odin, and zip) my phone gets stuck on the first Samsung E4GT logo. No recovery is added, volume up and power only reboots device to same logo.

Ive done this flash before and never had an issue. I dont know what could be the issue.

Would flashing a stock GB or ICS rom and pretty much starting from scratch be a good idea?

I guess my question is are there issues with flashing from GB27 to EL26/29? Do I need to be on a specific kernal? My only fear is if I flash a stock GB rom I wont have a kernal to flash anything else.

Could there be something wrong with my phone? It really seems to me flashing from my current rom isnt compatable.

Please send me some tips and advice on what roms to flash to get back to an el26 so I can proceed with my goal in all this which is flashing the new SHOstock rom with multi window.

Thank you and I appreciate any help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
It wouldn't hurt starting from scratch. It sounds like your current Rom is having some sort of conflict with the EL26/EL29 CWM kernels. Have you tried flashing a gb27 cwm recovery? That will allow you to flash a new rom. They are stable as dd's now and I use them all the time. Try Garwynn or Agat's gb27, they both come with Agat's custom recovery which has cwm. If that doesn't take, might as well save all your important stuff and give a fresh start a try :). Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
I have agats gb27 loaded and can flash from it. I need chris 44g el26 or 29 kernel to flash a specific rom. Rom does not load correctly in agats. Many people had issues and per instructions, user 26/29. I will try to start from scratch.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FuMMoD:
You can use the stock rooted restore gb08 that's what I used to fix that problem. Try following ny guide to get it running perfect after you Odin the stock rooted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
I gave flashing stock GB08 rooted a shot. I then flashed EL29 and EL26. Still does the same thing.

Doesnt boot to CWM.

If I flash a Gingerbread rom, since my EL26/29 isnt working, will I be able to access my current GB27 state I am in now without issue?

My AGAT GB27 is doing me well to retrieve all my current backups.

I dont want to go back to Gingerbread and not have a recovery to use because it uses EL26/29. So I would be screwed, correct?

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] deviouskind:
I am trying to flash EL29 Gingerbread Stock Rom with Root.

This doesnt work as well. Odin freezes on the flash at FactoryFS.img.

Does anyone know why it would freeze on this file?

I've tried multiple tar files, different ports, different cords, two versions of odin.

I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing. What caused the factoryfs.img file to freeze?

What hardware in the phone could cause this issue?

Any help wouldbe appreciated. All I want is EL26/29!@#$ WHYYYY!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
If you flash el26 or 29 over ICS or JB your phone will not boot past splash screen. I always use el26 with odin from PC, kernel is flashed from pda slot. Reboot the phone and hold then keep holding power +vol up for like 30 seconds and you will boot into el26 recovery.

If you want to switch from from Touchwiz JB to AOSP or older GB/ICS rom you need to flash a ICS 1 click first like FI27 then flash el26 kernel and flash rom. If you are trying to flash the rooted el29 one click rom it should work. Maybe bad cable. I only flash with blackberry microusb cables.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Rehv:
el26 el29

IM stuck in flash screen. I have el26/el29 in tar.md5 I need them in zip format to flash on Odin. I don't have computer access. Stock cwm-El26.tar and El29 direct boot cwm.tar ?? Any way to get them in zip so I can flash in Odin.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
You are confused my friend. Odin uses .tar or .tar.md5 files and CWM recovery uses .zip files. And if you're stuck at splash screen after flashing el29 it's because you can't boot el26 or el29 unless you have that build rom on your phone. They are used for recovery only. Pull battery, reinsert, reboot into recovery, and flash the rom of your choice from there!(e4gt only of course)

I have recently purchased a new i605, rooted, unlocked, and installed TWRP through Casual. And flashed CM10.2-20130827-Nightly-i605. I finally received my SIM cutter in the mail today, and pulled the full size Straight Talk SIM out of my Skyrocket that I have been using with no issues for almost 2 years, cut the SIM, put it in the Note 2, and entered the APN settings. It is receiving good signal, showing the "H" and "H+" the majority of the time. I can make voice calls, receive voice calls, send/receive MMS, and have good data sending and receiving. My only issue is, I can only receive SMS, and when I try to send (or reply to one already received) I get the "Message not sent" error. I saw a possible fix, of updating your SMSC, but I have no clue how to find what my SMSC is in order to input it, and haven't been able to find it either. I tried editing the way the telephone numbers are stored from +1 250-250-2500, to (250)250-2500, +12502502500, +1 (250)250-2500. I also saw where someone found a fix for their situation, where they had accidentally set Google Voice to send text messages. I went into the settings on my Voice app, and that setting was turned on, so I turned it off. But I am still having the same results when trying to send an SMS.

Does anyone have a clue as to how I can find what my SMSC is, so that I can try that fix for the issue?
