[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerkio123:
I didn't realise it wasn't a good idea to use ROM manager with the s3.. Why is that then? I went that way because my laptop is a Macbook and hiemdall didn't seem to work well so I had a quick ten mins on a laptop at work with Odin to root and then I only had my Macbook to use so ROM manager is the way I went too manager seems to be the same thing as well
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scarface1991:
From experience I can say that using ROM Manager can soft brick your device. I once wanted to use it with my old S2 to install CWM and I got into a bootloop afterwards. Only re-flashing a Samsung ROM via Odin helped to boot into Android.

One of the easiest way (in my opinion) to root your device is to flash a Kernel via Odin that will give you Root. The Siyah Kernel is a good place to start, since the developer also provides tar files for odin to flash. It will give you Root and from then on you can install Stweaks and flash CWM from there.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lerkio123:
I wish i d of spoke to u a few months ago when I first rooted cause I buggered about with it for weeks! I didn't realise you could install recovery from steaks either.. Have you got much apple Mac/android sync experience?.. I can only describe it as trying to get arch rivals to mate!.. Might just dual boot windows on the Macbook if I can't get them to play nice

I read that engadget was able to get USB hosting working on the universal, however it appears that this is not possible (reading the threads here). I just wanted to confirm that using a 'usb dongle' to connect other devices to the universal does not work - as I thought that wm5 did support this. Is it just a question of drivers or is the hardward not capable?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] rottie:
Just to remind that topic...

I'm really interested is it possible to connect a portable harddrive to my MDA Pro?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lie_ui:
i dun think so its true. If anybody proves this to be true, then please let us know.

@Vijay555,

It was a Q&A article they posted when they had just received the Universal. Should be there in their archives i guess.

Cheers.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dreamtheater39:
I just checked with an sd card reader and a 40gig usb hdd....it didn't detect either :-(

don't think the universal supports usb hosting :-(

hope its just a software handicap and not a hardware one!

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] zohaer21:
yeah I even posted in that engadget article asking to reconfirm their findings and thry did reply saying it could be used as a usb host as they had it dine themseves (it was one of the factors that made me get the universal) alas the dumbfuc*ers removed the ABILITY for usb host or maybe engadget was Forced to say yes(as in LIED) under pressure from htc etc??

just my 2 cents ! :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] emmerman:
If I'm not mistaken, the hardware in the Universal supports USB Host. But it is not implemented in the software running on the Universal... It's like having a sound-card in your computer, but with no drivers to use it. :) Maybe there will be a patch or update for WM5 which supports USB Host.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Mikew:
Suspect that you need a USB host cable to have any chance of testing USB host functionality, this cable tells the PDA that it now needs to work in host mode.

The Sharp Zaurus has a similar arrangement where a single USB port can work in host or slave mode, which is switched using the relevant cable, link to such a cable http://www.streamlinecpus.com/store/product.php?productid=100&cat=0&page=1&featured

Suggest you search Zaurus forum (www.oesf.org) for more information.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lie_ui:
does anyone has this cable and test it already?

It seems it will fit the mini USB port for the Universal?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BeyondtheTech:
Don't think it's native on the Universal - if it was, it ain't now. In the meantime, Softick Card Export II PC version 2.10 works great as USB Host services to the Storage Card!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] lie_ui:
Yes, I use the same thing on my Uni. I like it very much as i do not need a SD card reader anymore. But I still dream to be able to hook up my external slim HDD to my Uni.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fraant:
usb host.....

USB standard provide 5 volt DC.

All HTC device have got 3,7v DC battery!! so it is not possible to power any kind of USB device!!.

The only way consist in voltage duplicator that should provide 5v using 3,7 v source, i think that HTC device has not this voltage regulator.

wishes

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] fcaeiro:
the universal have the hw to have usb host functions but htc don't have put it to the out side world.

The mini-usb can't be used as initiator.

in thoery you could open the universal and hook another miniusb connector on the usb bus.... and then the drivers nightmare

Deje have drivers for mass-storage on ppc2003/ppc2 and they work fine.

I use both on casio-e200 and on the toshibare800.

btw:neither casio nor toshiba have 5v bateries and they work with external usb devices like keyboards mices etc, for disks i have to use external power...

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamalazyguy:
I am trying to build Android open source for Samsung galaxy Verizon 7inch tablet SCH-i705.

The first step is to root the device and install custom recovery manager which I did using this droidviews dot com / how-to-root-and-install-cwm-twrp-recovery-verizon-galaxy-tab-2-sch-i705-on-ics-jelly-bean and it worked perfectly. I can go to recovery mode and install a custom zip file to flash it.

2 I have Ubuntu12.X where I downloaded JellyBean source code with tag android_4.3_r1 and followed instructions source dot android dot com / source / building-devices.html Based on the link I set the build for aosp_toro-userdebug. I did a "make otapackage" which made a zip file with recovery and boot.img in it.

Now I copied this zip file to sd card on my tablet thinking I can flash this but it is not working and I already spent 2 weeks trying different things and just wouldn't work.

What I tried: 1. I noticed that the build installed on the tablet after rooting is called "espressovzw" which doesn't matches with "toro" so I updated the "updater-script" file in the ROM.zip that was created through make otapackage to remove the device check. I didn't get any assert error but I am still not seeing the ROM installed.

I noticed that the com/google/android/updater-script is pointing to format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name/system", "0", "/system"); but then I did not see this partition on my tablet /dev/block/platform/omap/omap_hsmmc.0/by-name so I changed it to format("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/system", "0", "/system"); which does exist on my tablet When I do this I see no error but then the tablet would not boot in normal mode. So I booted in recovery mode and installed the factory image again through Odin and then again rooted it by following instructions. I read somewhere that the boot.img may not be correct or compatible.

I read somewhere that my Custom recovery manager may not be the right one so I saw that my out/device/target/product/toro has a recovery.img and I created a .tar.md5 file for that and put in using ODIN but then the recovery manager wouldn't come on the tablet so I had to reload the older one through Odin again.

I do not see any build instructions to build for espressovzw target. I did search github and found this github dot com/MrHyde03/android_device_samsung_espressovzw however I do not know how to build this and what other things I will need to build it. Do I need to build the kernel too? All I am looking is to disable the notification bars by updating the source code.

Note: I can not use Fastboot commands as shown in source.android.com as that is not available in the bootloader for Samsung Galaxy Verizon model. I think Nexus supports that. So basically I am down to installing a ROM only using either ODIN or as a zip from Custom recovery manager.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2441918:
If u start building the process is automatic it will build the kernel too. Btw take any rom amd using updater script as a reference try changing the mount points and c. Hope that helps
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamalazyguy:
Is there any ROM you can suggest? I tried updating the updater script from one custom rom but then my tablet would never start in normal mode so I had to restart in recovery mode and then restored it from backup.

I hope you don't consider this as spam. I don't have any techblog or something like that I want to push. I honestly want to help here

I recorded a (very simple) Video about the LTE Edition (16GB) with TouchWiz and Nova Launcher.

When I was considering if I should buy the device or not I searched (in vain) for a video like this. So it might help someone here.

The video is in german, but you can just disable the sound as it is the lag (or not lag) in the video, that matters. :D

[Moto X Q&A] misko85:
I am currently in my residency, and since I started I have been having an issue with multiple devices (latest nexus 7, galaxy nexus, and now moto x). Whenever I'm at a hospital and on their wifi I don't receive notifications such as email. Sms text goes through, but not mms. As soo as I get off wifi the notifications flood in. If I manually refresh Gmail while on their wifi it comes through. I called IT and the guy ha s the same issue, but said that nobody knows of anything that would be causing it. Basically no help. Any ideas? I'm at a loss and it's pretty frustrating. I'm on stock software on all devices.
[Moto X Q&A] pdt816:
SMS "text" mesages are a SS#7 protocol, meaning they are sent and received through the "telephone" network's switch. They don't need internet connectivity.

Doesn't fix your problem, but it explains why your getting one and not the other.
[Moto X Q&A] holyevilcow:
Also work at a hospital. Hospital wifis are notoriously unreliable, and for one reason or another hospitals also have the worst reception for cell signals. The terrible wifi receptions are possibly related to that there are way too many electronics/wireless signals floating around (all the computer terminals, monitors, IV pumps, pyxis, everything). My advice, well, ask the nurses and doctors on your unit to see which service work the best, and switch to that and forget about the wifi (for example, on my floor, T-Mo works the best....). I know I'm gonna get hate for saying this, but if an iPhone works the best, switch to that. However, from my personal experience, all the coworkers with iPhone still get really ****ty reception. So yeah, take a survey, and get a new service, especially if you are gonna be at the hospital for a while.
[Moto X Q&A] dru858:
Used to work as a Network Technician at rather large hospitals in town. Our WiFi coverage was actually very, very good. I did experience issues sometimes with certain services on my phone while connected to it but it's because of the firewalls and content filtering that you will find in place on many large networks. My advice is to skip the "IT guy" and find the actual network engineering group and ask them. They'd be the ones who should know.
[Moto X Q&A] pdt816:
If he's getting smaller messages real-time in the hospital, his carrier and his connection to the cell towers are fine.

My uneducated guess based on the info given is that this is an issue with the hospital routing their wifi traffic.
[Moto X Q&A] misko85:
Correct. The signal is just fine. No problems whatsoever. I know it's routing. The problem is that IOS users don't have the issue. I'm only seeing it on Android. :(

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Inxed:
On my note 2 I've had PA and I loved it. simple and easy but I just got started looking at serious developer ROMS since i got the note 3 and I don't have much knowledge on it and if PA is as effective as roms made already. So here are my questions:

Is paranoid android effective compared to let's say Jedi? And if it's not what's a good way to emulate it's features(such as hybrid)

Is it developed already for the Note 3? If not when do you think it will push out?

Since I've been modding with roms already made I have learned alot since my switch to the note 3. and I feel like I am way behind when it comes to developing and customizing(i just edited my first systemui on apktool last night) so it's been inspiring me to learn more. But i just love the simplisticity of PA.

Thanks guys! I look forward to becoming an active member on XDA!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ttabbal:
PA is based on AOSP/CM. Until we get a built-from-source ROM available for Note3, you won't be able to get PA. IMO, the best thing in PA is per-app DPI, and you can get that with Xposed and the App Settings module. You also already have a better version of floating windows in the stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itsmikeramsay:
If CM hasn't started supporting it yet, don't expect to see it on PA, AOKP, etc til then. Usually CM waits for recovery to be working on all variants before they start to really push for support.

Pay close attention to their gerrit here: http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:open,n,z

But like I said once most variants get a working recovery CM and others will start to support the Note 3 in terms of AOSP ROMs. Right now, AT&T and VZW are both waiting for stable recovery. Usually once those 2 are going, since T-Mobile and Sprint don't really lock their bootloaders, it'll happen. Just be patient. We probably won't see 4.3 AOSP on the Note 3... more than likely it'll be 4.4 KitKat
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Inxed:
Cool, thanks for the info! I figured that development on 4.3 for note 3 won't really happen. Kind of got stuck at the worst time to learn Android dev. Kit kat is supposed to be release soon i hope with the nexux 5. I guess untill then ill get to fool around with what is made now. And yes atnt and vzw are reeeeally strict on bootloading. Just one of many reason why i eventually switched to tmo!

Thanks by the way! Good info I didn't know CM and PA are related.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] itsmikeramsay:
No problem. Yeah most AOSP based ROMs are based on CyanogenMod. Ones that aren't are ones that are built from pure AOSP, which usually are Nexus devices...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Inxed:
Yeahhh I guess it's best just to wait on it all. per-app DPI works really well and so does floating windows with touch-wiz, but, call me lazy, I would just like a way to have access to the windows without having to use the spen. But it's progress! For now I'm using the floating notification app which is pretty cool.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Inxed:
I know right? After using CM for so long on my note 2, TW is so bloated. I can't wait either AOKP or Illusion to be developed for my device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] indstrlmtlhd:
This time around on my Note 3, I'm not using any CM based roms. On my previous phone, a mt4gs from HTC, I was flashing a different CM based rom every month or every other month but on a friends phone, a Note 2, I had put Jedi Master on it and was impressed. So I waited a couple of weeks after getting my phone, watching what was being released and ended up settling on the latest release by jovi23 of his DarthStalker rom and have been impressed with it. My only complaint and it is such a tiny complaint too, is that he has 4x4/5x5/5x6 icon grids for the home screen but no 4x6.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Inxed:
Well Personally I use sslauncher and that solves my grid problems. And I guess it's people preference, I just don't like TouchWiz. To Samsung: Note 3: Awesomeness, Touchwiz: Score of Zero. I started on DarthStalker which was awesome, but then I got curious about the roms made recently so now I'm currently on Jedi Elite, which is good too. I think I may switch back to DS because I've noticed some lagginess on Jedi that I didn't experience with Darth.
