Not yet. I have stopped developing for a while been quite busy :)
[Galaxy S III Mini General] dcla_be:
Hi,

I am looking for an image to root my SGH-T599 so I can SIM unlock it.

From reading up on the forums I think I need your CM10.1 ROM mentioned in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2442408).

But it seems any SGH-T599 image was removed from your goo.im download space? Was this due to their server upgrades or did you remove it because of problems with the ROM?

Any help would be appreciated.

Dead ?? :(
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
If you mean dead as in this thread and any development for our phone I wonder the same thing. Last I heard [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] had stop developing and was very busy. The ROMs he develop were great and were slowly bug free. I'm running a rooted stock hoping we can see a custom ROM soon such as Carbon ROM. I offered my help but I don't have any development experience.

[MENTION=4567700]DJVargas[/MENTION] you think in the Pac man rom the camera it's fix?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
Last I used this ROM I believe it was working but it has the same bugs as CM. Give it a try. Also, try installing Android 4.4 Kit Kat Camera from this link... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2507748
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
I used the PAC rom less then a day ago; the camera is not working. Furthermore; the sound works like CM after a certain point it gets quiet again.

I do remember Unjust saying he had to merge a fix from PAC in order to fix the camera (something was wrong in the lib?) so installing a third-party camera app wouldn't work, or atleast I don't think it would. But if you do find that it does work, then let us know.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
Hi. I know [MENTION=4911249]Unjustified Dev[/MENTION] was going to release a build with the camera fix but the update never was posted since he abandoned developing for PAC-ROM so just like I mentioned this build has CM bugs such as the camera not working. In regards to the camera link I posted, it's not a third party app, its from Google Android 4.4 and I'm using it on [MENTION=3245411]tys0n[/MENTION] pre-rooted stock build for T599N. So if you handle the bugs and have tplo constantly turn the volume half way to get sound to work I'd stick with the pre-rooted ROM I'd mentioned until hopefully we get development for our phone again.

What? Is this/has this been really official PAC rom? I mean I've never seen anything official for s3 mini :D

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

Sry now I see that this is the different s3 mini.. I was almost excited...
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
It doesn't matter if a rom is official or unofficial; if it's stable and works, that all that really matters to end users I guess. The dev who created this rom was on the PAC team, hence it being official.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] rockknee:
That's true. But my device has novathor processor and that means basically zero fully working roms. Maclaw has done great job but still problems with RIL, battery life and so on.. Just too bad STericsson never released sources. Offtopic, I know..
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
We share the same processor, so we're in the same boat, but given the circumstances Maclaw has done a great job, so it seems (I don’t own the s3 mini so I can't accurately state that). I'm sure with due time, the devs working on NovaThor will manage to create a bug-free rom. Oh and CM10.2 nd went stable as of today, so I'm sure there's someone already working on porting that over, which should help. Battery-life can be tackled by flashing custom kernels (I believe there's a team of devs working on porting 3.4 over to NovaThor processors, which should also help). Issues like RIL and blue-tooth can only be fixed if STE had released their sources, or would have to be built from scratch which seems time-consuming and difficult, but then again I'm not a dev so I don't know the difficulty of fixing these issues are.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] rockknee:
Completely agree that mac has done great job. Novathor is just full of challenges, thats the fact. But I didn't come here to blame the development around s3 mini(s). So much has been already built from scratch!

Bugs

Hi, what all the bugs where for the PAC-ROM? I'mtot thinking about flashing it into my phone and I would like to know all the bugs
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
All of the bugs from the CM build such as the camera video not working and a sound volume level bug. Unfortunately the fixes for these builds were never released since development stopped by the OP.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] TotalNoob333:
Okay. Do you think I should still get the ROM? This will be the first ROM I flash myself.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
If a working camera isn't a deal-breaker for you then by all means go for it, if it is then check out the CM build I posted earlier (check for the t599x general discussion thread). Links to both ROMs are posted there.

I"m working on CM10.2, but I"m running into build errors, and it possibly due to one of the patches not being applied correctly. I'll work more on it on the weekend, I'm in the midst of final exams, and I shouldn't have even thought about developing, but I think I spent more time learning about how porting works then I did studying for some of my exams, lol.

[Galaxy S III Mini General] Unjustified Dev:
Hehe time my friend. I didn't ignore your pm . I was simply tired. Use boot tools unpack boot.img extract kernel. Never confuse kernel as being the issue. It's the ramdisk not containing android 4.4 things.

does the video recorder work on this one? what are the bugs exactly? sorry, i just got this phone last night and installed unofficial cm10.1 and the only bugs i can see are video recorder not working, and im unable to see videos in snapchat

edit: also netflix doesnt play.. stuck at loadin my show :( i guess ill go back to stock
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Netfllix, snapchat videos don't work because camcorder doesn't work, anything that involves the playback of videos (with the exception of youtube) does not work. I'm working on CM10.2, got an initial build done (working on fixing some bugs).

[Galaxy S III Mini General] jc33777:
Does anyone know if you can root this phone without using a computer every method I found you need a computer
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Perhaps you can try framaroot? I'm not entirely sure if that works for our phone. If you have CWM already installed, you could just download SuperSU online from your phone and install that zip through recovery and it root it.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] jc33777:
No I don't have anything on this phone I just got it 2 days ago and framaroot doesn't work

---------- Post added at 03:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:01 PM ----------

Can I install CWM without a computer?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
Then in that case, it'd be next to impossible to root this phone as far as I'm aware. You could give framaroot a shot, it's a program that runs on the phone directly and roots the phone, I haven't tried on this phone, but its been successful on a number of other devices. I wouldn't suggest that because it may brick your phone.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] jc33777:
Dang it man I have no way to get to a computer in the next 2 months and I want to get rid of this metro bloatware and use link2sd
[Galaxy S III Mini General] eddwalsh2002:
eta on final build for camcorder use? netflix is one of top 3 apps for me since i have toddlers that need distracting
[Galaxy S III Mini General] :
It's hard to say, I'm brand new at developing and this is the very first time I've ever compiled CM10.2, and I don't even know where to start to begin fixing the camera and wifi (both are broken in my build). I've been googling to see if anyone else ran into this but I can't find anything. Your best bet for now would be the stock rom.
[Galaxy S III Mini General] morepr:
The only way of rooting the phone it's by a computer using Odin to install custom recovery and flashing su zip file or vroot.exe
[Galaxy S III Mini General] jc33777:
Yeah it's too bad there isn't anything out there that I can just flash with the android recovery and if I have to use a computer I'll just have to wait 2 months and I'll probably just use Cydia Impactor I've heard good things about it
[Galaxy S III Mini General] eddwalsh2002:
do any of these roms support app to sd and/or does samsung make a rom update for this model to support it?
[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
Not that I'm aware of. I don't believe our phone supports App to SD. I'm being trying to find away myself because the internal memory of this phone is not enough to hold all my apps. I tried using link2sd and it states is not supported. I also attempted under CM and PAC-ROM and no go. This is being a big request among us and who knows if Samsung will make a firmware update for our phone to Android 4.2, 4.3 or even KitKat for that matter.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:56 PM ----------

I wish you best with your computer problem but I don't know why everyone keeps mentioning Cydia Impactor since it doesn't work to root our phone. I've tried it myself and it didn't work. Like it was said before the only way of rooting our phone it's by a computer using Odin to install Custom Recovery (CWM)...https://www.dropbox.com/s/j7372celhi9il1j/recovery.tar and flashing SU zip file or using vroot.exe in the OP of the other T599 Thread.

samsung released a rom for their more popular galaxy models that supported app to sd because consumers complained enough perhaps we should do the same?

[Galaxy S III Mini General] 16BitRun:
Wow, that's terrible. You would think that with the amount of internal storage our phone has they would implemented without thinking of it. It must be such a simple thing to do in there end too. It's almost like they want you to go ahead and just get a new phone after so many frustrations.

This is what I did and I have me plenty of internal storage first get link to SD I know u can't move the app to the SD but u can link the bin and files of the downloaded apps just link all those apps to the SD card and it will give u plenty of internal memory

Take a look at the T599x General Discussion threads, all the roms linked there will work on your phone.

PAC doesn't have a function camera, and CM10.2 doesnt have a function camcorder, and both suffer from audio issues if I remember correctly.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bennage:
Ello,

I currently have an XDA IIs (Blue Angel). When I picked it up, it was beautiful. But now, it's starting to irritate me.

1. The whistling screen is louder than ever and it's driving me insane!

2.1 After updating to the newest official O2 ROM, the general speed of the machine is terrible! It crashes all the time (especially using TomTom).

2.2 After updating, I can no longer watch videos off my SD card without them jumping about, playing audio static every other second, of simply not accepting it at all!

So, I'm thinking of getting a new XDA - but which one??

This is what I use my XDA IIs for:

> TomTom Navigator 5 - I use this every day (when it works).

> Playing videos - 99% of the time of my 1GB SD card.

> E-mail

> Internet - lots of browsing and data transfers - - I try to use wi-fi whenever possible.

-I'm told that if I use 3G, then data charges won't be quite so massive, but I can't find any evidence of this.

> I'd love to get Skype working, but so far I've been unsuccessful.

I'd also love to get video calling going, but I read that O2 are going to start charging at rather high prices and not taking it out of the inclusive minutes - ergh.

+Plus, a usable camera would be nice.

What are your experiences? Any advice?

ANY help here would be very much appreciated!

Big thanks in advance!

-b
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] TheBrit:
If you want video calling and want to stick with O2 then you'll need the XDA Pro. (O2's version of the HTC Universal)

Don't know about O2's charges but GPRS and 3G data with Orange cost the same. £1 per MB on the tarrif I'm on. 3G is just faster and would probably cost more because you're likely to use it more because of the usable speed.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Gajet:
I use tomtom every day on my Xdaiis with the latest official O2 ROM and it never crashes. Are you using it in corporate mode? Also considering your issue with videos too, I'd wonder if it's your SD card that is at fault rather than your device. Perhaps it might be worthwhile backing up everything on the card, formatting it and then putting everything back on. If possible try another SD card altogether.

however none of this will fix your whistling screen, or quell your desire to upgrade. :D

On O2 the universal is the xda exec, on t-mobile it's the mda pro and on Orange it's the SPV m5000, you might want to take a look at those, t-mobile do good data packages withj their walk & web tariffs, but it's t-mobile, Orange have the best 3g coverage but screw the device up a bit with their crappy homescreen software, O2 have the better looking device, with least modifications if you turn off O2 active, but their 3g coverage is not too impressive.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bennage:
Nice one, peeps.

I thought the O2 Exec was the universal?

Any more for any more?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloeWolf:
Hi,

my Galaxy SII runs on rooted CM10.1.3 which worked fine for a while.

Then it started to sometimes shut down all of a sudden. That usually was when I worked with maps (navigating). Then it also started to shut down when I worked with other apps that I suppose consume a little resources (eg. browser).

Whenever I re-boot right after the shutdown, it shuts down already during the CM start animation. With the second try it takes a little longer to shut down again. Usually I just have to wait 10-15 minutes to be able to re-boot finally. Sometimes only, when I connect it to the charger.

Just when it tries to run the scheduled Titanium Backup, after re-boot, it shuts down again, if I miss to stop Titanium in time.

After such a re-boot it usually shows very low (red) battery status. Just after it recovered after a short while, the BattStatus is back to its former value.

That happens no matter, if USB Debugging is enabled or disabled.

Even my former last resort (flight mode on - battery out+back in - flight mode off) doesn't help.

Today I wanted to backup to my PC before updating CM (hoping to solve the issues) just to find, that I couldn't connect to the PC anymore.

My App USB mode switch for SGS1 on CM shows an error message that I have to turn on USB Debugging to make it work. But USB Debugging was activated. :(

The processor is running at around 70% (1000 MHz) and+ 29% (800 MHz) when it got into this trouble.

I checked with Zooner Antivirus and it says, I'm clean.

Does anyone have an idea,

why my system shuts down

why it takes so long to recover

why I can't connect to the PC anymore

why USB Debugging is not recognized anymore

Those are many questions, but I'm sure, the answers point to the same root cause.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloeWolf:
I could stop the massive CPU usage with Rescan Media Root. Now CPU is down to 60% (of which 97% (1200 MHz) and 1% (800 MHz)). Still, it looks odd to me that the CPU mainly runs on 1200 MHz though there isn't anything big running. Just the usual background processes.

It goes to deep sleep all right when I leave it alone. USB Debugging is turned off now.

Now my main concern is the sudden shut down of the system out of nowhere with the problem to re-start.

Has anyone found a solution for a similar problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CloeWolf:
Partly solved, but crashes still occur

I got this part of my problems solved. Somehow no USB connection mode was selected anymore and I just didn't find the path to get to enabling it (Alzheimer??).

Now I found it: Settings > Storage > left button: USB-Connection (PC)

Meanwhile I updated to CM 10.2-20131026-Nightly. Unfortunately I experienced another sudden crash lately after registering a call on Control your calls 2.9 and another while surfing via 3G.

So, these qustions remain:

I would still appreciate ideas regarding those crashes. It's so strange that I can not properly reboot right after the crash, but later on.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] goldbolt:
Would it be possible do modify the Photon Q's battery at all? Like replace it with a RAZR MAXX HD's battery? I can't find dimensions on either battery or anything like that.

I was also wondering if it'd be possible to maybe take apart a battery (perhaps two Photon Q batteries) and somehow put them all in sequence and have it work like that. I'm a noob when it comes to these types of things. Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mozzwald:
You would have to get the measurements of both batteries and compare the sizes to see if the RAZR batt will fit. It looks to be the same voltage and chemistry.

You cant use multiple cells without special circuitry for charging. The best option is to find a larger cell of the same chemistry and voltage then mod the phone to hold it. Also, you would probably have to sacrifice a working battery to get the connector.

I added a larger cell to my Motorola Triumph

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
It's not easy to get that info, but looks like the RAZR battery, altough surely electrically compatible is not the same size.

Razer's one is 1.5 cm longer, and is also narrower.

Well, surely you can't put two "smart" batteries in parallel from the outside, but it's feasible opening the battery and connecting properly the cells, internally.

But this must be done by someone who really knows what should be done, to avoid risky situations.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] mozzwald:
You can connect multiple cells in parallel but it's not a good idea without a proper circuit to charge the cells. Over time the cells will need charged at different rates.

Sent from my XT897
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
On small batteries like the one you can find on a cellphone "Proper circuit" could be just a couple of resistors to balance the "neighbor" cells.

I'ts way different on bigger batteries, like notebooks' or electric cars' ones.

Given the increased energy stored (and the increased risk) in the latter cases the charging circuitry checks every single cell, not the whole battery as happens on cellphones.

So doubling the capacity of such batteries is a completely different matter, a complete redesign of the charging circuitry (and battery firmware) is needed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] goldbolt:
Alright, so I'm pretty sure I've this all figured out except for one thing. What the crap is this green..... thing on the back of the battery? It's like superglued onto it and I'm thinking it's an antenna of some kind, perhaps for NFC.

BUT, I can basically just connect the RAZR Maxx battery like this to mah phone I'm thinking. (see image)
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kabaldan:
EB40 (Razr Maxx) and EB41 (Photon Q/Droid 4) batteries have completely different dimensions.

This is why I wish Samsung would've made an S3 slider.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] The Solutor:
Wiring a different battery is definitely possible.

I did it on a HD2 clone, using a Mugen battery meant for the Palm PRE.

The hardest part is to find a battery with the correct dimensions, usually find the right one is just matter of luck, given is hard to know the exact dimensions of a battery before buying it.
