I still can't seem to get the stock browser to install. Tried placing the file in system/app and data/app... Installed once and I saw the browser at one point then every subsequent launch of the app was met with a "unfortunately..." Crash message. Ugh. I've been dying to get a competent browser on this phone. Guess I'll need to keep waiting.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] hajabooja:
Make sure you set the permissions correctly. Once installed, clear data/cache on it before you run it.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] jfriend33:
Would this work with Adobe flash installation
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] bigv5150:
Yes go here http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html scroll down to android 4.0 I know were on 4.2.2 there is no flash for jb and down load the most recent then install like an apk your done.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] Picolini:
What do you mean "set the permissions correctly"? I'm not modifying the permissions with anything, and it sets its own permissions upon installation.

I installed again and cleared data, brought up the signing into google screen then it crashes. Can't seem to get it to stay opened.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] jfriend33:
Works beautifully!
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] Picolini:
Could I get a little instruction here?

I've downloaded the above Browser.apk. I've tried installing it from the downloads folder. Fails. Tried pasting it into /data/app, can't install. Pasting into /system/app, can't install. Tried root app installer. It installs and initially loads with the "signing into gmail" popup. Then crashes and crashes every subsequent launch immediately.

I'm dying to get this browser on the phone. Pleeeeeaaaase, can I have some installation instructions? :confused:
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] aameghoo:
Search "aosp browser installer" in the play store. It does require root however
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] Picolini:
Thanks, but tried that. Did it again just to see, same instant force close. :/
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] asuhoops8628:
The AOSP browser installer worked for me...

Do you have root?
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] Andrew C:
Thanks, this way worked for me!

I tried installing the apk listed in the OP and the browser repeatedly crashed even with the permissions set correctly.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] Picolini:
Yep, confirmed via root checker. And I did wait for a minute after boot for it to register root as jcase said that it doesn't Register su for a few seconds or something, in case you were going to ask about that.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] asuhoops8628:
Are you booting to recovery with system RW enabled?
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] Picolini:
Was doing it via ES File Explorer with root access and /system set to RW.

Anyway, I just wiped my phone and used the above app mentioned (AOSP Browser installer) from the Play Store and it worked :)

Didn't expect the phone to actually wipe all my photos and videos though, past Motos wouldn't delete that stuff, guess that's changed. Oh well.

But holy crap... sooooo nice to have the AOSP browser. Chrome is a joke, I have no clue how anybody thinks it works fine. I've yet to find one site that didn't have at least one big issue with it using Chrome.
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] bwheelies:
Does the aosp browser have the extended controls that allow you to swipe from screen edge to navigate?
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] asuhoops8628:
I agree, chrome sucks. I had massive issues with it everywhere.

Good info to know about the wipe...
[Droid Ultra Themes and Apps] jfriend33:
Yep, settings, labs, check quick settings

I used ICS Browser + from play store on the RAZR Maxx. Havent tried it on this phone though. It may be what you are looking for...?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TheNextPrime:
Hello, I'm obviously new and this is my first post, but I'm coming to you guys now because last time I flashed a ROM I hardbricked my phone and had to give it to someone with a riff box to repair it. To be fair it was the second time I flashed a ROM. The first time I flashed CyanogenMod to what I believe was success but then decided I wanted to flash SlimBean and of course ended up with a pine cone. I think my failure was in that the version I tried to flash was an International version. So if you professionals could please make sure I'm not going to brick my phone this time then that would be great, I live in the United States, I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII, and my provider is Verizon and I plan to download from this website, ://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=d2vzw, and flash with ODIN. Please let me know.

TL;DR is ://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=d2vzw going to brick my SGS3?

Since it's my first post I can't put URL's so if you would please take the time to copy and paste the link and put the http in front you would be a savior.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SignetSphere:
Always post questions on the Q&A section... Also you're in the wrong forum as this forum is for the international SIII (GT-I9300) and not the Verizon variant.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xHausx:
Thread moved to Verizon GS3 Q&A. I know you'll definitely want to back up your device data before flashing anything, but I don't have any links to more information handy at the moment. If the stickies don't say anything about it hopefully someone more familiar with the GS3 will be able to point you in the right direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EatheMeek:
Once you decide what ROM you want to use, just make sure you flash the Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III version, (d2vzw). The reason you hard bricked your phone last time was because you flashed the international version, your phone doesn't have the international radio. The frequency bands used in the US by Verizon are different than the ones used for the international device so it wont work. Messing with radios in general is a quick and easy way to brick your phone if you don't know what you're doing.

If you want to run an AOSP ROM check out Slim Bean or CM10.1.

- Slim Bean 4.2.2 Build 8: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060612

- OFFICIAL CM 10.1: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2053799

ODIN is good for Rooting, going back to stock, or flashing a stock OTA TouchWiz ROM in my opinion. If I'm not doing that I'll just do my backups and flash from Recovery, its quicker, easier, and just as reliable.

One more thing... ALWAYS READ ALL OF THE OP BEFORE YOU FLASHING ANYTHING! :D Follow the Developers instructions to the letter and you should be safe.

Pay attention to the little details. First step: make sure you're posting in the correct forum.

If you're not aware of what forum you're in, and you follow a link to a download, guess what?

You're going to brick you're phone again. Check the version, then check it again, then check it again.

[General Questions and Answers] longtalker:
Hi everyone,

After my Samsung S2 suffered water damage, I now need to buy a new smartphone, and I had almost decided for the S3, which now costs only GBP40 less than the S2. Until I stumbled upon this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/S7189-MTK6589-Android-Smartphone-UNLOCKED/dp/B00BG8F9G0

I have no problem with the idea of owning an "unbranded" phone, but I'm just worried that it might later turn out to be of substantially lower quality than the original. A colleague of mine owns a previous model of this Star phone (N7100), and he's been happy with it for the past year or so. After playing around with his phone a bit, it seemed fine to me, however I didn't get to test it in more detail (e.g. compare image quality of camera output with that from the S2, or see how stable the GPS fix is).

I'd have really liked to read a proper review for it (with benchmarks etc), or at least see a believable amount of user ratings. The Amazon product page has some good user reviews, but only 22 of them, and you can't really find much information about this model (or about the Star make in general) on the Internet.

What do you guys think? Is there reason to believe this phone would perform (visibly/audibly) worse than its closest Samsung equivalent, or that its life expectency would be shorter? Many thanks in advance for any help, I really appreciate it!

Hi guys,

So I just got a new THL W8S and it has an odd problem - I can't find a single Wifi network. not mine, not the free ones, nothing.

I've done everything I can think of to fix this - any ideas? It has Jellybean 4.2.2 and it just sits on "searching for wifi networks"

So I think my radio is fried or somethihng is wrong with it - if I enable wifi it drops my H+ data connection and I can't get any kind of data to the phone until I turn the wifi off.

Also when the wifi is turned on the phone gets very very hot really fast

Its claimed that tmobiles Moto x variant will be exclusive thru motorola only for purchase for a limited time.. and hard to get.

Anyone have any insight on the actual available relase for this for t mobile customers. .. for an outright purchase?
[General Topics] JFigure:
It's pretty publicly known that:

T-Mobile won't sell it in their stores initially, or at all.

You'll HAVE to order on the playstore.

You can't put it on installment plans.

It'll have AWS HSPA bands

It'll haven an unlocked bootloader.

Sounds like T-Mobile version = Developer Version.

However, it's apparent the T-Mobile version will have wifi calling, meaning they have their software on the device... so it's not EXACTLY the same.

That's why I'm thinking it'll be hard to get your hands on- most likely built in limited runs or limited numbers all together.
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
Hello, i've been one of those unfortunate members to own the nook with the faulty emmc. So it must be to no suprise that it gave out (on its own ; never installed 4.3). Now all my Nook gives me is the nook logo and then dies (due to lack of battery).

Anyhow I'm creating this thread mostly for those whose emmc is dead or dying. Hopefully in the comments we would have some sort of first aid kit for the case of emmc death/corruption. So my questions are as follows:

Firstly let me ask "Which rom would bring my nook back in working order?"

(I've been hearing that VG's external roms would work just fine, but in trying to use my sd loaded with the stock rom didn't work).

Secondly "is there a chance (now or in the future ) of recovering the data from the fried emmc?"

(for example folk from kindle fire's forum -that uses the same emmc part- use this method to recover: method )

Lastly "How to make use of the warranty for those outside US, any tips?"

(Living in the Uk, the replacement process has been a nightmare thus far, for the time being they refused to replace my nook because -simpy- I do not live in the US)

Thanks, and I hope this won't happen to many more.

as your emmc is dead now the only way to revive your nook is to boot from your sdcard you can look in this thread for verygreen's instructions http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2221289&page=7 :good:
[Nook HD, HD+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stevethegreat:
Thanks, it does brinkg the Nook to a -kinda- working order. But it's a single rom (no support for CM10.2?) and it still doesn't solve the problem with the "lost" files.

Since the eMMC is merely corrupt and not really dead one ought to be able to extract the files from there and IMO that's the important part when one loses a "disk" of any sort.

Mine (my Nook) contained files of hundreds of dollars (pricier than the nook itself) and unfortunately due to an accident they are/were the only backups I have (at least they were up until my eMMc got corrupted). I've actually posted an example of how people over the KF forums do it and actually recover both the emmc and the(ir) files, I reckon sth similar ought to be possible for us too. Then again it will need real dev muscle behind such an undertaking, but given now that Nook HD+ is aging (that) we're going to get a lot more dead or dyings EMMCs I think it would be a great idea if such a tool would be developed...

Lastly I think nobody heard what's a nook's fate is if it happens to malfunction while one's residing to UK :/

...anyhow. Again thanks for the link.

So I need a nice working ROM for it. I tried to install Virgin Rom. But my phone says its not AT & T. Software. I can't even download anything due to the RAM issue that I have.

Any suggestions or links to a ROM that could work for me.

Also, I am using CameraMX app (as I lost the default camera app and not able to reinstall it) and the find the same problem there. On connecting the phone via USB, i do not see the CameraMX folder inside DCIM on pc. This folder is visible with the photos inside when I see it on the phone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Switch to the older USB mass storage protocol. It is controlled by the file /data/property/persist.sys.usb.config. This is a text file containing a single string. The settings are "mass_storage,adb" or "mtp,adb". Since this is a system file, it is necessary for the phone to be rooted, and then this file can be edited using a root file explorer. Change the text in the file to mass_storage,adb (without spaces), save the file, and reboot the phone. You can always switch back to MTP using the other string.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] talk2anuj:
I do not see the folder property under /data.

If I use the USB Switcher App (from android playstore) to change to mas storage mode, I see just 5-6 folders in the mounted volume. I was able to see all the folders earlier in the mass storage mode until few days back when I connected my phone to a virus infected laptop.

Now I want to backup all my photos/music and run a clean install. I backup my app data on Google, so I guess I would not be losing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
I think that path was from ICS. I'm on SHOstock3 which is also 4.1.2. I just looked and I have the "/data/property" folder, but persist.sys.usb.config isn't in that folder. I'm not sure about stock 4.1.2.

Try this instead. open terminal emulator, get su permission, then type:

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb

And reboot.

Quick question for you all :)

I am thinking of buying an XDA2i, now I know there are a number of divx players available - I was currently looking at TCPMP. Now can you copy a file straight from your pc that is already encoded in DivX or Xvid straight to the XDA or does it need to be re-encoded (for example a family guy episode).

Thanks in advance :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Matteh:
providing you've got the space, it can usually just be copied straight over :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Homer-Simpson:
Thanks for the reply - bad news though im afriad :cry:

My cousin has bought his, he installed TCPMP and tried to play a movie and its not working properly - the sound is fine but it just cannot process the picture - it just constantly jumps huge amounts of frames...

The video he is trying to play is from www.antandpete.com

(to be precise its http://videos.vault5.com/teaser3.wmv )

Can someone try this out for me - I hope its just the video incorrectly encoded :(
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mtbsoft:
Use BetaPlayer, it's free and plays loads of formats including avi which DVDx creates using xVID/DIVx.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tetragrammaton:
TCPMP works well, as long as the video bitrate's below, lets say, 500 kbps.

I made some experiments:

XDA II / Himalaya, using TCPMP 0.66

Video Clip: Naruto episode 01, unmodified ANBU sub

specs: 187 MB, 640 x 480, div5 Video @ approx 700 Mbs, mp3 Audio @ 192 MBPS

Win2003SE: Plays well, with the usual chunkiness at high-bitrate scenes (ie, the part where two guys are running after Naruto).

Win2005: Reaallly chunky. even the 1st part with the multiple-tailed wolf. had to Overclock using Hackmaster 2005 to 533 mhz so i could get speed on par with i got in 2003SE. Settled with this setup, since i got to keep win2005.

Alternatives:

Disable audio (yup, this works!!!) more cpu time would be dedicated to video processing

Re-encode the video to lower bitrates. (a friend tried re-encoding the file to 220+ kbps, at 320x 240. it works VERY well, and if you want, you can even convert em to wmvs. problem is, i'm too damn lazy to do that with all files; i mean, even with eovideo or any batch encoding tool, you still have to wait. Patience is not my virtue.;))

hope this helps.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sunish:
Beta player is best.. plays most of the formats ... and its free..

use pocket divx for encoding the videos.. so a 700 megs file is reduced to around 180 megs...
