[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] duffkitty:
Hi guys.

I have seen an option for a while in the security settings to enable encryption. This sounds like a good idea to me at the moment as I'll be crossing borders next month. I want to give it a shot but have some questions for people who have experience using it.

Details: Sprint Galaxy Nexus (toroplus) running unofficial CM10.2 nightlies with an up to date TWRP installed.

First question is probably the most important. If **** hits the fan how difficult is it to remove the encryption or reflash. Say worst case scenario bootloops with only recovery access.

How much of a pain is it to flash a new nightly. My brief reading just says to mount a partition as tmpfs and adb push the zip so the recovery can find it.

How is performance?

Lastly is it safe? What I mean is are there any strange hiccups that happen that a user of encryption should be aware of?

Thanks ahead of time. I really wanted to ask because I have never seen much buzz. Especially from the root community which sorta makes sense if it adds a step for us flashaholics.

In such a short period of time, I saw so many people ask how to get rid of the "ugly" t-mo dialer skin, I am starting to wonder what it looks like.

Anyone have a screenshot?

[G2 General] S1D3winder016:
I just got my G2 3 days ago and I do really like it but after looking at the specs of the Note 3, I'm having second thoughts. I'm a specs guy, that's really all I care about. The best of the best. In the end, should I stay or should I go?
[G2 General] ayman86:
what exactly does note3 have over the g2? 3gb ram and 4k capture?
[G2 General] IamPro:
Wireless charging for non VZN G2s also
[G2 General] S1D3winder016:
5.7" screen

3,200 mAh battery

S Pen

Micro SD

Removable battery

4.3 out of the box

And what you just pointed out, I made a pro and con list.
[G2 General] Namtaru:
I see far too many people comparing these phones and asking which to get, but in all honesty they are in two different categories.

Either you want a phone, or a phablet... You can't compare the two as they will be two different user experiences.
[G2 General] S1D3winder016:
I just wanna hear your guys opinions!
[G2 General] Namtaru:
No one has the Note 3, so all you will be getting is opinions of people who haven't even touched the phone yet.

I don't get threads like this, and it's not even posted in the correct forum.
[G2 General] S1D3winder016:
Actually, I think I just made my decision. As long as T-Mobile lets me keep this G2 until the Note 3 gets at my doorstep. I'll do it! I'll have to call them. You guys can still give me your opinions on this factor. :)
[G2 General] BaronInkjet:
I think it is interesting that the G2 screen is only 1/10th inch smaller than Note 1.
[G2 General] chrisexv6:
This.

The Note 3 isnt a phone as much as it is a tablet that can make phone calls. The G2 is a phone and no where near a tablet.

And 4.3 isnt a selling point, IMHO, because there are loopholes that were fixed that make third party dev even harder. Just look at the S4 with ME7 or higher.

So far loving the G2. I considered the Note 3 for about 10 minutes, but its just too big and too expensive for my needs (which are, a phone). I can go buy an N7 and have money left over.
[G2 General] ayman86:
oh yes. forgot about that.

i liked my note2 except it was a bit too big and i have gotten to the point i disliked amoled screens now. lol

but besides those two, i enjoyed it very much
[G2 General] SysAdmNj:
In the end its your choice, I'm frankly tired and bored of samsungs design. And I despise that front home button lol. But this phone to me hits the sweet spot, the note 3 otoh, also I see the lg's cpu speed is clocked higher out the box I believe.

Note 3

5.95 x 3.12 x 0.33 in	168 g (5.93 oz) <- bad

Lg g2

5.45 x 2.79 x 0.35 in 143 g (5.04 oz) <- good :)

p.s. The screen too, no contest. Lg's display is beautiful even with that annoying auto brightness issue which will def get fixed soon.
[G2 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
And don't forget about the Note 3's best features.... Lag and stutter. I'm completely done with Samsung until they optimize their software. Get the Note 3 at your own risk. The G2 will end up the better choice imo.
[G2 General] randyspants:
Amoled :(
[G2 General] Han Solo 1:
I'm leaning towards returning this and waiting for the bigger screen.

I think it all depends on what you use your phone for. I do lots of web browsing and watching tv shows. Bigger screen wins.
[G2 General] arctic84:
Note 3 will probably have a lot more development.. it seems to overshadow the G2 right now... must resist canceling G2 order
[G2 General] Dan37tz:
Even though Samsung burned me with the Galaxy S4, I'm willing to give them a second chance.

I'm a bit skeptical after having two lag fest S4's, I really hope they got the S-Lag ironed out with the N3.

The things that intrigued me with the N3 is the new faux leather plastic back cover, 5.7" screen while being roughly the size of the 5.5" Note 2. It's also rumored to use the AB S800 binned SOC. Higher CPU(2.3GHz) and GPU frequency(550MHz). 4.3 out of the box, most likely better sounding speaker, S-Pen (which I used a lot on my Note 2). Expandable memory and removable battery is also a plus.

The things that I am not too thrilled about is the new pentile matrix display, I guess it wouldn't be so bad at such high pixel density, it didn't bother me too much on my S4 but would prefer a good traditional IPS LCD over any AMOLED. I'm also disappointed it lacks hardware optical image stabilization, I always thought my S4's camera would be amazing if it had included OIS. I also wished Samsung would tone down their gimmicky air gesture ect. bloat crap or better yet not include it at all on their more premium Note line.

I always thought my Note 2 was almost the perfect phone (probably the phone I held onto the longest), just wished it had a higher resolution screen, more ram, capacitive touch buttons that work with the s-pen and a higher resolution camera with OIS. Looked like the N3 addressed *most* of my wishlist, but then again a lot of baggage came along for the ride. I just have my fingers crossed that it doesn't lag down, but then again I don't have high hopes much after using the S4. I swear if it lags I'm going to use an iPhone 5S as my daily.:eek::eek::eek::eek:
[G2 General] arctic84:
damn.. sounds like u change phones as much as you change underwear (just a little jelly lol)
[G2 General] IamPro:
I'm bad like that too, def agree that Note 2 was the best phone I've had.. if it had 1080p and IR blaster then i would have never got rid of probably

As far as Note 3, i cannot stand the home button any more

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barraclough0205:
Hi guys i decided i wanted to try the google play edition. So i got root, installed custom recovery and took a nandroid backup.

I then installed the latest play 4.3 rom. Didnt like it so went back into my cmw and restored the nandroid. Cool phone running fine again.

But i keep getting updates and when rebooting to install it would fire it into cmw and said couldnt mount. So i thought id reset the phone, and it rebooted to cmw again.

Read online it might be because the bootloader was unlocked. So i used the command fastboot oem lock in command prompt and relocked it. Now every time i try to reset the phone or update it im dropped to the bootloader

i thought an rru would fix it but i couldnt find one for my phone.

Its the htc one m7, was on o2 but i had it unlocked. It has hboot 1.54 so i couldnt get s-ff, baseband 41.17.3250.14. With the bootloader in tampered but relocked mode.

Any help would be appreciated. Just want my phone working again.

Ps i tried the guides to go back to stock. I dont have a 401 so i tried the rru, which i couldnt find for my phone and i cant seem to find the stock recovery for my device to reflash that see if its the problem, i tried a guide to extract from the nandroid, but altho i had root i couldnt see the folders. Tried the rom manager method as well and it says there is no backups altho there is one showing in cmw which i now cannot get into since relocking the bootloader

Can you use this outside of chrome? When I teather, I mainly use chrome because I've heard T-Mobile won't track the browser as teathered. It seemed to be true because I'm, pretty sure I passed the 500MB on it and I hadn't received a message on my phone I was using it.

If you haven't changed your plan to the new no contract plan yet what are you waiting for? Tethering is include at no additional charge. If you are still under contract just ask them to wave the mitigation fee, they will let you change your plan but hold the existing contract.

Also have you seen the news about unlimited international data and text?

Hello and good evening everyone

Please I need help because I'm really stuck. I have a GT-I9300 smartphone Samsung Galaxy S3. I manually installed XXUFME7 Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and everything worked fine until I had a problem with "safe mode". I did everything to exit, but I could not. So I decided to go back and install the official 4.1.2 Jelly bean. I did, but it did not solve my problem. I decided to still reinstall version 4.2.2 Jelly Bean. But I find that I have no network. The wireless works fine but I can not call or receive communication. Checking, I see that my original IMEI has changed and now starts with 0049 when he was beginning by 3554 .... So all these manipulations made ​​me lose my IMEI. In addition, I never saved the efs directory of my smartphone. What can I do to get the IMEI of origin of my smartphone?

Hi friends! i have a razr maxx xt910 and i messed up a little trying to install a new rom. but let take you step by step and hopefully someone can help!

i had stock rom JB vodafone eu and yesterday a saw Jelly Bean 982.124.14.XT910.Retail.en.AU IMPROVED LIGHT wich caught my eye.

so i installed bmm(my phone was already rooted) and continued to install the rom on system 3. i had some trouble but i figured it out and everything was ok. the booted perfectly and i had a new rom ready!

but ive noticed that somehow lost my stock rom! (pressing all the buttons and selecting the recovery did nothing. it only showed me the android with the red triangle.)

so in order to fix this i had a (bad) idea to use rsd lite and flash back to a previous rom and work my way up again. the result was a failed flash and now my phone boots directly to fastboot!!! if i close it go to the stock boot menu(pressing all the buttons) and select normal mode the phone boots normally without an issue.

So does anyone have any idea on how to fix this!

every help is much appreciated.

Can you explain, connect to what?

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lancemulvihill85:
sorry, i guess i had better get detailed (i've been around long enough to know better). So here goes.....

up until here recently i've been comfortable and satisfied enough with TW. i haven't really wanted to try aosp. but the times they are a changing and im really interested in halo and the different UI changes that come after 4.1.2

i'm very comfortable flashing between cwm and twrp and have a decent enough knowledge about android flashing(4th modded android device).

Now on to it.....

The past few days i've wanted the new features enough to break away from TW and try something fresh and new. I'm not a dirty flasher and 9 out of 10 times i format /system right along as part of the process using both twrp and cwm(depending on op's installation instructions). so far i've tried slim bean, liquid smooth, pac-man, and paranoid with the same outcome...

when trying to open up any camera app, whether native or downloaded from play store, an error message pops up that states 'Can't Connect to Camera', then the app closes itself

at the suggestion of someone else, i've rebooted into recovery, wiped cache/dalvik, fix permission, then rebooted with a 0% success rate.

i just can't seem to figure it out and have been using google with no luck...........PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!

any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, Thanks

edit: is there any way to make a tar file out of a rom zip and flash via odin?- nvm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Ok you should go into app manager in settings and clear data there or if you use Titanium backup clear data for that particular app itself.

You do know the camera and gallery Ecole one in the same on 4.2 or higher. Which means that if you have deleted or frozen the gallery itself or done anything to it it will also do what you are describing.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lancemulvihill85:
thanks again for the quick reply, i was unaware of the gallery being the same app as the actual camera app, that's good info to have

but that fact makes this even weirder as i can access the gallery just fine, still no camera

i took your suggestion and cleared data for the gallery in both 'manage apps' and 'titanium' with no success.

the aosp roms boot up and operate just fine with the exception of the camera

anything else you could think of, thanks again
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] lancemulvihill85:
