[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Before even trying anything, I would suggest that you backup your current EFS partition first.

You can do this from within the custom TWRP recovery menu, using adb commands or possibly some apps or PC programs. You may need root for some methods. You can also copy the EFS folder files with a root type explorer.

Once you've made a backup (in case you make things worse), this thread here may be of help :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18524176 edit: yes, I know it's for the the sgs2, but the dev does say other devices too.

Also, have your tried to reflash manually your firmware with Odin?

There are guides here in xda and our forum, and firmware can be found at sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com

As last resort, I'd take a look at some of the sgs2 EFS repair apps. Could make things worse, but also fix it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doky.sgtoolbox&hl=en

Any decision is ultimately up to you....

Edit 2: if all methods you try are unsuccessful (or made worse and totally unrecoverable), you may have to send to Samsung for repair. Sending to an owner of a RIFF box (JTAG repair) may be faster and cheaper though.

Best of luck

what s your point of view?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] alicarbovader:
didn't have the previous nexus, so can't say much. but compared to my desire, a hell-uva improvement in touchscreen, the sensitivity, and multi-touch is a phenomenon I was completely unaware on my ol' Desire.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kaedibyrd:
I definitely notice a stronger preference on the new Nexus's part for fingers over any type of stylus than even my SG3 showed. I prefer to use my fingers, except for when I want to draw or hand write notes. Papyrus, for example, works disastrously poorly on this device with any stylus, and it's not so easy to write letters with your fingers.

I'm hoping someone will invent a stylus that works on this screen for drawing and within purposes, but am pleased with the smooth touchscreen experience on the device for all other purposes.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Rayan:
That's both, good and bad... :?

Good, because we all love HTC devices, not because of their non-exsistent HTC and OEM support, but because xda-developers.com excellent community and independent R&D.

Bad, I would love to see more companies developing PPC Phones, specially Quanta. Remember, competition makes better and less costly devices so the winner is always the consumer.

Anyways, I now have to make up my mind and decide which one should I get... The Eten M600 or the Athena.... hmmmm :lol:

This thread is for those who own the Galaxy Grand from the Philippines.

Mine has been updated to 4.2.2 XTC. So far these are my expwriences:

1. it has better memory management.

2. battery life is about the same as 4.1.2

3. google play now recognizes some games like subway surf as compatible.

Please comment if you are from the Philippines.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] polpan:
Nice one... a dedicated thread...

Same here Grand owner from the PH.

Will be rooting soon too...there are so many mods to try :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] muntinlupa:
FYI the firmware marked "XTC" on sammobile and samsung-updates.com are Vietnam CSC. I have not tried the other fw. I had to root then used csc chaner app to change to sun csc. It us not reallt of utmost importance but then it is good feeling to have the proper csc.

tatzkie nga pala from davao

How are your galaxy grand doing guys? My grand has a broken usb port. It can charge but is not recognized by the pc. So i cant update nor root my galaxy grand. Im just waiting for someone to post an update or a root tutorial capable of flashing through stock recovery and not using odin and cwm. In technicalities i would rate myself 9 from 1-10.. so i pretty much know what im doing. And btw for what its worth, using the philippine update is actually ok.. all updates are fluid and good but u need to make sure first that before u update to a new firmware that your device is reset to factory default. And before you install an update, make sure to clear cache and factory reset the device first for effecient and smooth update. How i wish i could update and root my grand.. looks like i need to spend 2k-3k more just to have it fixed. But anyway, if you guys need my help, just reply to this thread.

And for faster and more efficient usage of your sd cards, make sure to use CLASS 10 SD CARDS ONLY.:D

BNB2 stock rom here. so far no lag issues.

for those of you who are experiencing lag on any stock rom you might wanna try this:

format /sys

format /data /media /sdcard

flash AMF7 4.1

flash BNB2(which ever stock rom you prefer)

I've been using BNB2 for less than a week now. the only issue that i've encountered is the color turning negative. i dont know if it has something to do with the rom or the system apps that i've uninstalled using nobloat app. anyways, it only happened once and the fix is just turning the screen off then on again.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] sidkota:
Since the very first week, Grand has this screen issue, for me atleast... The screen's colors become faded... the saturation drops!! and after the BNB2 update... it started becoming negative... God know after next update what will be happening! Switching to Note 2 now

[MENTION=5472029]venom621[/MENTION]: Do you have the link for the ROMs you used? I have my grand rooted but still on stock 4.2.2. Very laggy and I would like to try your version :laugh:. Is it still based from a stock ROM that can support dual SIM? Salamat ng marami (Thanks)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 General] venom621:
i just updated to this I9082XXUBNC1 >> http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9082

stock 4.1 - AMF7 4.1

again no lag issue. you can also try changing launchers. Touchwiz is really laggy on previous stock roms. Although touchwiz is pretty decent on the new rom, I still prefer nova launcher, much faster.

here is a video on the new rom(I9082XXUBNC1). nova launcher vs touchwiz

Video is a litlle bit slower while using screen recorder.

Android 4.3.1 - ParanoidAndroid 3.99 RC2

I just wanted unaltered Paranoid Android for my tablet like I have on my phone, but it wasn't available. So, after some hair pulling, and some very gracious guidance from HumberOS and Androguide.fr I built it from source. I've been running it for 3 days now, and haven't noticed anything except the menu soft-button doesn't appear on some apps, but that is an app issue not the ROM, so without further Ado:

Screenshots Attached

And here is are the download links for both devices (make sure to download your device):

AOSPA 3.99-RC2 FW:4.3.1

-MIRROR-

older build: AOSPA 3.69 FW:4.2.2 no GT-N8000 - MIRROR

GApps - MIRROR 1 - MIRROR 2

GApps are not my work, I am merely listing them here for convenience.

WHAT WORKS:

Everything so Far including the S-pen (hence the use of the word Everything).:silly:

BUGS:

NONE:cyclops:

MANY MANY THANKS got to:

ParanoidAndroid Team

CyanogenMOD Team

HumberOS

Androguide.fr

(hopefully thats all if I forgot anybody whose work got rolled in, PM me and I'll add you)

..and of course thanks to anybody who chooses to hit the donate button!!!:highfive:

my source code is here

ParanoidAndroid source code

I am also building for th GT-N8000 before anyone asks it will be at the above link in a few days.

If you like to play with "developer options", go to "About Tablet" in settings and tap build number 7 times to unhide the option,

but it is not necessary for any normal function.

ALL SOUND ISSUES FIXED!!! Now compatible with Awesome Beats v5+

I will be updating ONLY for security updates and version updates. There will be NO NIGHTLY builds. I want to stay married! LOL

Updated to latest version as of 10/27/2013

PLEASE!!!!!! NO PM's ABOUT COMPATIBILITY OR QUESTIONS!

THIS FORUM IS FOR ANSWERING QUESTIONS and the other users can and often will answer your questions faster than I will. Also I ONLY have the GT-N8013 so asking me if it works on any other version of the note 10.1 is futile. I support the N8013 and N8000 because there is official support at Cyanogenmod for them which is what most of PA is based on. any other N80xx device may or may not work. Try if you want it is your risk. If it works I am glad I could give you PA as well and others would love to know SO POST.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Tattoo_Paul:
Sound is Good.

What flashing process did you use, so that others might follow? Did you do a complete wipe, or just flash over an existing ROM. Several people are telling me they have no sound. I am checking the source code now to find the bug, but a work around would be nice in the meantime.

And voice search isn't working which, unfortunately, is a deal breaker

Edited:

I saw that you solved it!

Nice!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Tattoo_Paul:
Sound IS working on all build!

Sound is working on all n8013 builds now! Redownload the rom. If you have no sound you have an old copy of the rom.

As for the n8000 builds showing a question mark for the battery, its a kernel issue, that should be resolved shortly.

As for n8010 compatibility, I DON'T KNOW! Usually n8013 and n8010 roms are mostly compatible, but I take know responsibility for your device should you choose to flash this rom.

Just for the knoeledge base, the sound issue was caused by a misnamed file. system/etc/sound should contain a file named n8013 (or n8000) when compiled it was named GT-N8013. Rename it to n8013 (with lowercase n) and all sound turns on. If that doesn't turn on all your sound, you have other issues not caused by this rom.

Paul

I hope that clears things up, Because people keep PMing me asking sound works now. I thought the big bold red letters saying sound works would do it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] Tattoo_Paul:
Halo is a pain if you accidently turn it on

I accidently turned Halo myself and it's a pain to turn off. Tap it, then tap and hold again quickly. a red X should appear top-center of your screen. drag halo circle there and you have turned halo off.

My issue with the new build is that nav bar at the bottom is like a centimeter big, no joke. Also the keyboard fcs on boot. Idk if I installed wrong or what, some input would be awesome. Also, question. When installing, it says "installing update". Does that mean we can flash the new builds over the previous ones?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Android Development] rsohne:
Don't know if this is related, but on my GS3 I installed a 4.2 gapps on a 4.3 CM 10.2 rom and had wonky problems like that. Make sure you are using a 4.3 gapps. Especially F/C keyboard issues. Only problem I am having with this rom is the battery percentage not working.

i had always meant to do some developing but the drop in activity i realized when i moved from the sensation to the rezound really compelled me to start plus i have some work that i really have to do and really dont want to do so you know how it goes. Anyway to it

i started by googling how to build android roms which lead me to xda university giving me a nice expaination as to the various parts of android which i was already familliar

another search lead me to the offical how to build android from source page. i had a few concerns so i thaught i would ask here

i have knowlage building various web applications(php,js,ect) and not the let the fromework so this for me kinda apps i like thinking and innovating. i have a little experience with c++(i was at the stage of learning a gui when my old laptop crashed) so i think i have atleast good enough programming experience to catch on to java at a nice pace. Am currently reading and following googles nice little guid on developing android. Am in the process of setting up work envo (already got ubuntu 12.04 up). and thaught i would just leave a post here to see if anyone had any advice for me?

what i wanna do is be able to port for us,build original roms AOSP they call it for us, build and or port sense roms for us and eventually get to the point where i can get us sense5 or help neo(or any other dev) help us get sense 5. oh and i think i would like to build/modify kernels as well. oh oh and being able to invent exploits to get root or s-off for devices i might get in the future.

Question: while i was reading i was seeing where the buiding process was doing alot of synceing with google servers ect. i dont actually want to submit whatever garbage i might write to them while am testing so im still on the right track following the guid here correcto??

short version: I wanna build android custom roms ect not just edit files and put it out am i on the right tract following the guid here (i already know a lil programming)? http://source.android.com/source/initializing.html

any advice/resources/links welcomed
[HTC Rezound] xanda143:
oki am on the page that says "building and running" i dont see anything for our device am guessing thats because development from aosp has stopped for us and thats where ppl like neo and cyanogen make thier magic. what is the next tut or read for me?

Try this. You could always pull Neo's CM 10.2 repos instead of the 10.1.
