[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imNooby:
So I rooted my Phone like a month ago. (Samsung Galaxy S III i747 AT&T)

I decided to flash a custom rom: CM nightly 10.2 or whatever, it's new or something, and I got it + Google Apps.

At first, it seemed to work fine, but was stuck during the CM blue loadscreen, so i had to go to twrp and factory reset...

Question 1.

Is it possible to get all my contacts back? AT LEAST THE CONTACTS! idc about apps, i can get them again, but CONTACTS are important...

Question 2.

I forgot to save my stock rom... How can I go back from CM to stock if I don't have the Stock ROM?

Question 3.

Is it possible to do a factory reset- everything back to stock via Kies or something? If i want to go to Stock, how can i do it? Will it get bricked/etc?

More Information to anyone that needs it:

Used Goomanager

Used TWRP

AT&T Samsung Galaxy SIII

no external sd card

Thank You, and this is my first post on xda developers. If this thread needs to be somewhere else, pls tell me. I'm new on these forums, and I'm also new to Androids/rooting. I've always been using iOS devices... ya call me a noob :3 well anyway ty!

TL;DR

: Okay. I forgot to save my stock ROM, i have CM 10.2 installed, my contacts are gone after factory reset. Any way to get them back?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Did u save your contacts anywhere? Sim card, gmail? I save my contacts to my gmail account, so when I flash a new ROM, and sign in to my account they are all there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imNooby:
... Sigh

uhhhhhh

I think it's saved to the Phone. ...GG

... :crying:

sigh -_____-

Well... ty for asnwering. I was hoping if there was an app or a program that could recover deleted contacts, etc.

Could u answer the other questions as well?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
Since installing cm 10.2 has your phone even booted? Your contacts might still be on your sd card if you have not wiped the internal sd or maybe you've saved them to your sim card. To get back to stock you'll need use Odin to install your factory firmware

ty for this link, but i have a question.

I have the AT&T Galaxy s3 I747

on the link, it had 3 links- LK3, LG1, and LEM. what are they O_O
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vanisleryan:
Lk3 is the newest of those 3 firmwares...mg2 is the most current but I believe at&t has removed that for download...pretty sure I read that somewhere...I live in Canada so not 100% but it's not on Sam mobile which is odd.

So again those are firmwares and need to be flashed with your phone connected to your computer running the program Odin...you will need to research how to use it.....or you maybe able to flash the other at&t zip in recovery its in the second link I gave you.

i know is preference but i can tell you that i returned the white version (after a week) and got the black version today because of the BLACK BORDERS around the phone. The black version DOES NOT HAVE IT. u might think because is black it does have borders and u can't see it because the bezel and borders are both black. This is not the case. the black bezel covers all around the screen, while the white bezel does not. it's noticeable both in direct sun light.

here is how a white version looks with black border, i tried to live with it and it was so annoying that i gave up on it.

Xperia P

I've had Nemesis 5.3 with Dark Rom v2.5 and everything worked fine. Then I tried to update 5.4 Nemesis kernel, wiped cache&dalvik cache. First of all boot animation looped and I couldn't start the phone so I reinstalled Dark Rom in hope everything's gonna be okay...the phone couldn't register plugged USB cable - I couldn't transfer nor charge my phone.

I flashed old Nemesis 5.3 back and it works for now. Is anyone else experiencing these kind of issues?

EDIT: Apparently kernel is doing fine when it runs with Enigma v5.5, so it may as well be an issue with Dark Rom although I'm not entirely sure...

Hi XDA ppl,

Is there a way that you can port the LG G2's double tap lock and unlock? It would be really nice if we could use it on our device.. I mean my note 2 power button is getting sag because of locking and unlocking for daily basis use. if anyone could port this feature it would be really great to have this on any android devices..
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] mankind_18:
Although it's not impossible to port this feature, but I think it will take some time till someone figure it out how to port it to our device. Meanwhile, you can try a similar app like this but using your built in sensor/accelerometer. You can find it at play store :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ginno:
Yeah already tried that but it didn't catch my taste..well hopefully someone would try..:D

Hi dude

Use a kernel with touchwake.. this will wake your device when you touch it.

I use NEAK and works great!

[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Hemant:
Thanks for the info however does persues has this function?
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Axelman8:
Hi

If you are really interested in the TouchWake option, you should read the official thread about your kernel. My quess: The Perseus kernel hasn't been updated in a few months, so this probably wont be a feature of this kernel.

Regards

Axelman

A thank you would be nice, if i helped you in any way.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:
Use devil kernel or saber kernel or neak kernel.. They all have touchwake feature.. But I haven't tested them due to my exam, try them and I think they would be cool :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] ginno:
Thanks alot for the idea guys..but i prefer most on normal installation so that's why i preferred it to be ported rather than flashing. anyways if I no one would try to port it I will gonna try what you've suggested.. Thanks again! :D
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] technoyama:
The perseus kernel does have support for Touchwake feature. With the app eXperience in the Google play store this function is activate
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] yeminswe:
Can you please give me the link? I can't find it.. Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Jonous:
Reading the devil kernel thread I understand that this touchwake feature is set to stay for some ms after locking the screen, because the wakelock drains too much power if kept running. After that time the wakelock is stopped and you'll have to open the phone the usual way buttons/wave. So personally i abandoned the idea. Don't remember the link though you'll have to search.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] technoyama:
I can't post links here. This is still my fourth posting. Sorry.

In the search field of Google Play Store type: eXperience Pro

You will find the paid app. Scroll down the page and you will see the lite version.
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] galaxys s:
hi...how to use touchwake --i just flash N.E.A.K kernel but i dont know how to use ??? thank so much:confused:
[Galaxy Note II Themes and Apps] Axelman8:
Hi

Read carefully:

To set the TouchWake option you need an app for it.

You can buy the app for the neak kernel from the playstore and set the TouchWake and other kernel settings.

If you are creative, Trickster could have the solution for you in the playstore.

Remember: Set the time-out to zero for always touchwake.

Good luck

Regards

Axelman

A thank you would be nice, if i helped you in any way.

I think you should do some more research on the TouchWake option.

TouchWake is revolutionary in my opinion and by far not battery unfriendly at all.

I got One V, with hboot 1.18. In order to get MIUI working I was following this topic:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2232826&page=22

and now I can't boot phone.

What have I done?

1. flashed hellboy cm10 20130520

2. reboot of bootloader + cache erasing

3. recovery - data wiped and cache partition too, and then miui installed through sd card -> operation finished with success and I made reboot.

4. after that 3 points I got booting problems.

I got access to hboot, recovery, etc.. One V is stopping at "HTC quietly brilliant. This build is for development purposes only ...".

Can anyone tell me wow shoud I fix this? Let me know if you need more data about my phone or anything. I will try to answer.

And don't worry about bricking the phone, it's almost imposible. As long as you can go into bootloader you can bring it back to life. I've done it many times.

Also I'm using unknown 2.0 becuase maximus 10 gave me too many problems. I recomend you to use the same as me is basically the same.

Hi Jenenser, I'm on Maximus, Hboot 2.16, s-off, unlocked. I'm trying to get back to Unknown 2.0 because I find Maximus to be too buggy as well. I can't seem to flash anything from fastboot (not recovery, not firmware, can't run RUU, nothing seems to take). How did you get back to Unknown?

Go back to complete stock or RUU than repeat the while unlocking process again.

Unlock bootloader, root the phone, install recovery and then from twrp recover install ROM.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
We just need to be patient... sometimes you are at the mercy of the leaker and have to play by their rules. I'm just glad to see something...

I wonder if anyone here will be willing to take the risk of locking their phones down to take the update and what this update will provide features wise. I know that in a few days I will be sending back my current S4 Active with dead pixels... i may be able to test it out if not one has by then
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
I look at it like this:

If it's an "official" AT&T leak, no BS official real deal stuff, and it's loaded with all the stock BS bloatware, but it's Android 4.3 for real, I'm happy to do the testing or installation of it as long as designgears is confident that his source is providing him/us with the real deal - I'm not interested in a custom ROM just yet even in spite of running the AOSP for the time being.

I would love to get a custom ROM with a custom kernel and be able to enable/disable cores at will and do some undervolting for battery life - could care less about overclocking because the damned phone is already fast and I don't play games so, I'd be very happy being able to cut it down to 2 cores and then run them at about 1.2 GHz max to be honest and then undervolt it a bit too.

Obviously I'd love to do all this and make this phone last me a good long time like my HD2 did (nearly 4.5 years till it finally died because I'd flashed ROMs on it probably a 1,000x or more, I literally wore out the Flash memory the phone works from), but I know right now there just ain't that much serious interest in this device and it's because of the locked bootloader, sadly.

So, if a proper leaked AT&T 4.3 ROM gets itself seeing the light of day by designgear's anonymous friend or whatever, and he/she is willing to share it with us and it installs, even if it locks me out of potential updates I don't think I'll really have any issues.

Even if Safestrap and root don't work anymore and may never work, and even if I get "stuck" with that leaked ROM, again, I'm still cool with it. 4.3 should provide better performance overall than 4.2.2 and having TRIM support will certainly help far far more than not having it at all.

Like I said, I'm willing to be a guinea pig... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] yankeesfan714:
Designgears will come thru for us. Lets try to repay him by not mirroring his file as per his request. He said MF1 would be his last leak because of overboard mirroring. So maybe we can keep him around this time.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] tmease1:
I've already said this once, That I'm willing to test this out for us but I have not heard anything back about it.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] popfan:
Could be that either he found a tester and the tester is having issues or his source did not come though for him as quickly as he thought. Designgears has always been reliable since my captivate days - even if it was slower than expected.
