Nice Work

Just out of curiosity,

How long time did it take?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bkk99213:
You mean deodex time or flash the zip's time?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] 3lastic:
From start to end ..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bkk99213:

For download the files I need : eight hours

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mw1kaduxx:
Works like a charm in my unlocked device

Thx.....
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
So I have an unlocked bootloader.. I just flash this zip and it deodexes my Rom automatically?

I want to try the lenovo Camera App but I know you have to be deodexed first :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bkk99213:
Yes, just flash in CWM. But the lenovo Camera app is no need deodex, just install like normal apk.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
Cool, I though it was deodex only... At least I know there was something I wanted that was deodex only...... Actually I think it was the Z1 camera app lol :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bkk99213:
You right. Z1 camera app need deodex and that can take a better photo. But this mod also get more fc when take photo, and cannot restore the stock camera by CWM restore. If you install it and don't like it, you must use flashtool to restore it normal.

So, I wait krabappel2548 update and fix.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] baileyjr:
OK thats good to know I'll hold off for now :)

or do I need to backup baseband

I'm use HK C6833 in HK. It's not include baseband, so you no need make a backup for baseband.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
There is no problem swapping any /system/app between 6833 and 6802 :) /system/framework ok too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] bkk99213:
Because I get locked bootloader Root in .290

So, I make a zip to deodex my rom

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
^^ me, the kitchen first, then brother's pc with api 18 (4.3) - this post, as a flashable on a stock rom, this is a very nice solution :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
It is a good idea.

Just had a thought...

Run stock with recovery

Flash this to deodex stock

Select a remove zip - Anorexic/Slim/Curvy - that removes stuff from a stock deodexed install (or an adb script)

The remove zip would backup the removed .apk's and create/have a restore script as well

Patent Pending
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] iBuzman:
Make it an aroma installer that allows you to select what you want to delete and that patent you have pending may be worth something ;)

Thanks for your great work. I had forgotten about this thread. I tried deodexing myself a 290 and it worked except had settings fc when opening settings {only issue but took lot of time}. Is it possible for you or someone to repost the 532 and the 290 cwmzips? {am looking at 532 again.as some apps I use do not run in 4.3} The links are not working any longer. Thanks.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] g.curtisjr:
Hi all:

This is my first post here and I am new to the world of Android so please bare with me. I was given an Sprint (unactivated) Galaxy Tab SPH-P100 from work. It was brand new in the box. I am to use it for development purposes, but it stuck on firmware 2.2 (DJ14 baseband) and need at least 2.3 for the apps I have to work on. I also wouldn't mind going higher to maybe ICS. I have been looking all over for information about this specific model, but what I am finding is either outdated with broken links or the comments state it bricked the device. I was able to

successfully root

the device though. Can someone point me in the right direction of how I upgrade? I know that this tablet is ancient in the realm to technology, but it looks like this forum is active enough. Please keep in mind that I am new to all of this so I might ask a lot of questions. Thanks all!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erechm:
I have the same basic problem only I have the AT&T Galaxy Tab with 2.2. It lags a lot when swiping and hangs up for seconds at a time. I really just want to try some other ROMs and maybe upgrade to 2.3 or higher so I can speed it up and let my kids use it. I was able to root it and install ROM Manager from the Market. I tried flashing a couple of ROMs, but they get the same error....

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

-- Appling Muti-CSC...

Installing Muti-CSC

Insallation aborted.

I'm willing to get my hands dirty, but I just can't seem to find the right threads. As he stated above, all the older threads seems to have dead links that lead to iLivid install or Doedexed.com. PLEASE point me in the right direction! I've already put in hours of research, but I'm getting frustrated! THANKS!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Your problem isn't the same.

You are trying to use Samsung stock recovery to flash custom Rom.

You need cwm recovery.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erechm:
Thanks Priyana. I believe I already have cmw installed although I don't seem to be able to boot into it. I installed ROM Manager and it supposedly installed ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8. It lists ClockworkMod 2.5.1.8 as my current Recovery. It is weird though because when I try to "Reboot into Recovery" it goes into the the Android system recovery <3e>. How do I tell if cwm is actually installed? Or how do I boot into it?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
by booting into it, that is how you verify.

No, for Tab 7 you can't use ROM Manager to install CWM.

You need Odin/Heimdall to flash a new kernel that has the CWM in it.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichijoe:
This might seem a bit obvious, but why not install the Samsung Kies Software on your Workstation and then sync your SPH-P100 to that, it should (Assuming it was running a Stock ROM.), then give you the option of updating the Device up to the last version of Gingerbread which was, or is 2.3.6.

If you want to try installing something newer like ICS or JB. And I would personally skip ICS. 'Cause the Navigation Bar can not be easily disabled or hidden. (e.g. The Back, Menu and Home Buttons are mirrored on the Display as well as on the Device!), I'd just go with a CM10(.1) JB release instead!

If you want some cheap advice on how to play with this I'd recommend you head to the Google Play Store and download an App called "GooManager" This calls up all the ~compatible~ ROMs as listed there for your Device, You can also download and install these ROMs from that App. The only real catch is that you have to be rooted to use it. But, that's simple enough to do to. With the Super-One-Click Root kit.

Sounds to me like you haven't properly rooted your Device yet. Try giving the Super-One-Click Root kit a shot, then try again
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erechm:
Actually, Kies will not update my device because this is an original AT&T Tab that was locked down by AT&T and Samsung has not control over it. I think I need to use this Odin to somehow replace the Kernel first. Once I free this thing from AT&T's claws, I should be able to use GooManager or any other ROM manager. Hopefully anyway. ;)

Also, I have rooted the device with Super-One-Click Root kit already so that's not the issue.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ichijoe:
As to updating to the ~last supported ROM~ was kinda the idea. What that "ROM" might be for you is in entirely different question. For most GSM (P-1000) Users this would almost certainly be Gingerbread 2.3.6 though. If you had rooted the device you should see see a "SuperUser" Icon. If you still don't "see it" it might be that it failed to install, during the rooting process. In which case you should just download it again from the Play Store. Then you should hopefully be able to elevate your privileges when running Apps such as the GooManager, then.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erechm:
Priyana,

I was able to get cwm loaded and booted into it. I then followed your link to the instructions for Overcome restock. I loaded via Odin and got the green success. But it won't boot up past recovery now. Please see screen shot below. I'm kind of stuck. Can you tell me my next step...

NEVERMIND! I got it working! I decided to try the restock process again and it worked! Thanks Priyana!!! The Overcome Experience is GREAT so far. :)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Great.

Just thought that it is not quite appropriate for us to discuss P1000 and overcome on a SPH-P100 thread.

For those who read, overcome method is not suitable for CDMA tabs.

SunSpider, a JavaScript benchmark.

App Link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=appz.sunspider.benchmark&hl=en

This is SunSpider, a JavaScript benchmark. This benchmark tests the core JavaScript language only, not the DOM or other browser APIs. It is designed to compare different versions of the same browser, and different browsers to each other. Unlike many widely available JavaScript benchmarks, this test is:'

Real World

This test mostly avoids microbenchmarks, and tries to focus on the kinds of actual problems developers solve with JavaScript today, and the problems they may want to tackle in the future as the language gets faster. This includes tests to generate a tagcloud from JSON input, a 3D raytracer, cryptography tests, code decompression, and many more examples. There are a few microbenchmarkish things, but they mostly represent real performance problems that developers have encountered.

Balanced

This test is balanced between different areas of the language and different types of code. It's not all math, all string processing, or all timing simple loops. In addition to having tests in many categories, the individual tests were balanced to take similar amounts of time on currently shipping versions of popular browsers.

Statistically Sound

One of the challenges of benchmarking is knowing how much noise you have in your measurements. This benchmark runs each test multiple times and determines an error range (technically, a 95% confidence interval). In addition, in comparison mode it tells you if you have enough data to determine if the difference is statistically significant.
[General Questions and Answers] Mihir Parekh:
Hi. :) I figured out how to root my Karbonn A3+, Spreadtrum phone.

1) Get the latest spreadtrum drivers.

2) Download an application known as rootmaster.

3) Open up rootmaster, it's in a different language, but it's a basic setup.

4) Finally, you'll reach a screen where rootmaster shows you your android device connected via USB (with USB debugging enabled).

5) Hit the green button on the right hand side down corner.

6) You'll see a circle going round and round and eventually, you'll have a tick. :)

7) You're rooted! Congrats!

8) Download root explorer and find the superuser.apk which came with rootmaster ( /system/app).

9) Download the original superuser (Shout out to chainfire) and copy it to your SD card.

10) Move the original superuser from the sd card to the /system/app directory and replace it.

11) You have now successfully installed superuser.

Good luck!

Bump..! Anyone ?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] gwodus:
In my opinion, the best way to access files of your PC is to share your folders on the PC and mount them on your phone through CIFS. This is the most natural way, just like you'd do it between PCs.

CifsManager makes this pretty easy. You just need to enter the path to your PC share, user name and password, and where you what the share to be mounted on your phone's file system. Then you can mount and unmount the share with a singe click, and access all the files from the PC just if they were local files.

Note: The phone needs to be rooted though. And there is a bug in android kernel 3.4.0, which makes it hard to get CIFS working. ("Invalid argument" error, even if you enter everything correctly). Let us know if you run into that problem.
