I'm assuming that's stock firmware? What version ROMs are you trying to flash and what version cwm are you using?
[General Questions and Answers] Skorpyo1983:
question: would superuser be present on my phone if the firmware was stock?

clockwork-2.5.1

im seeing something called voodoo dbdata_conversion,cache conversion and system conversion(cant remember seeing these before)

plus an update.zip file that i placed there when i first rooted

vcremoveboot-CWM.zip

devicespec_samsung_samsung-sgh-i997.json

DlevRom++infuse+edition+1.2.zip

INFINITIUM-v1.1.1.zip

thats all that im seeing besides busy box,titanium,and other app folders
[General Questions and Answers] Skywalker.00:
If you rooted then downloaded superuser then yes.

Flash this in recovery.

It's twrp recovery for ICS ROMs. After you flash reboot your device, then reboot back into recovery. You will now see twrp not cwm. This is OK.

Select wipe--advanced wipe--tick dalvic, data, cache and system. Swipe right when it prompts you to do so. Then navigate back to home screen and select install. From there you need to flash a 4.1.2 ROM and 4.1.2 gapps. Reboot and report back.

First make sure you have an ICS ROM in hand.

Do you guys have a 4.3 recovery? I see tons of 4.3 Roms but no recovery.

Disclaimer: Flash at your own risk, I take no responsibility if this would damage your device. Better to have back-up before flashing.

I've been searching thoughout the xda-developers forum for an Inverted Mms.apk cause I don't like the default one which is in WHITE. I found one on Nexus 7 forum, a JB 4.2 one which I'd been using but it has a bigger resolution and lack a feature on our Stock CM10.

So, I themed our Default Mms.apk and share it here with you guys.

Features:

Increased size of QuickMessage Pop-up

471 Emoji Icons

Increased size of MMS to 1MB.

Changed icons of Smileys

Change "Read" to "Close" on Notifications

UPDATE:

Revert to old size of QuickMessage due to bug in Landscape. Sorry.

Increased Max lines in QM from 2 lines to 4 lines.

Change font color for Compose to ICS Blue as Message Sent is in ICS Blue.

Just flash in Recovery the attachment below. If not work, just extract the Mms.apk and push it to system/app and give it right permission, rw-r--r--. Reboot

If you are having a WHITE screen issue not the ones you find in the Screenshots, just use this ONE.

[Xperia SP Themes and Apps] adulfo:
I rebase this MMS to the ones present on szl.kiev PAC ROM which is very themable. This works also with FXP/CM10 ROMs. I myself use CM10.

I inverted some of the menus and the rest is for you to theme.

Just rename to Mms.apk and push to system/app, give permission rw-r--r--. Reboot and Theme yourself.

Here are my Mms theme Settings: Everything depends upon you.

This is nice but if anyone just wants a stock messaging app that is inverted just download 8sms from the play store, its free, exactly the same as stock except it has an option for an inverted theme.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] astage:
Had the o2 Exec for 5-weeks or so, so outside the replace with new period.

Only noticed last night that there is a worrying bulge appearing in the case. It's on the surround of the keyboard, just above the left-hand softkey, to the right of the Xda Exec label, and dead in-line with the USB port. The bulge is about .75mm high, rises sharply at the left-end then falls gradually to a slight dip adjacent to the right-hand soft-key. It looks like something has expanded underneath the panel (over heating?) pushing the surface upwards. Has anyone else had this happen?

Might be pure coincidence, but my PDA is normally charged via USB, however this last week I've left it connected to the mains supply overnight - screen closed. The level difference is quite obvious to your finger when you press the soft-key, but because I don't use them, I've only just noticed it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
I always leave mine connected overnight, for the past 5 dats since I got mine. I did not notice any bulging.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] atekant:
Did you check te battery?

I had one of my phones suddenly develop a similar bulge, and it turned out that the battery overnight had expanded to twice the original width.

The battery (and the phone alas) was dead after that though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cktlcmd:
Yes, I just checked it right now. As I had said I kept it plugged-in every night for 12 hours for 5 days since I got my EXEC. No bulges. It is only today that I am keeping it unplug and see how the battery last.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] astage:
Have removed the battery and checked inside. Nothing appears distorted within the battery or compartment, no smell of overheating, etc.

Looking further it appears the bulge is just to the right of a screw holding the case halves together. Similarly, the dip near the right-hand softkey is at another screw location. So perhaps there was something (cable?) trapped when the case halves were originally assembled, and that I hadn't noticed the bulge until now.

Looks as though I'll have to answer the question: "Do you feel lucky, Punk?" and try opening the case up :cry: .

Er, anyone got any 'How to do it tips'? Hope they haven't hidden more screws under labels.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gubbs:
Do NOT open it up. You may well invalidate your warranty.

Contact your supplier and explain.

They will replace it or arrange for repair under warranty.

The 14 day return period does not invalidate your statutory rights of 28 days and then 1 subsequent year of trouble free operation.

Gubbs.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] astage:
My supplier is o2! They tell me that I will only ever get back a repaired/used unit. With this one exception the current unit is in as-new condition, no scratches or marks of any sort. A colleage has already gone through this. Despite complaints, he has received two "repaired" units, both badly scratched (including the screen) or dented, one caught fire the day it arrived, the other continually hangs even with no additional software installed.

Thank you all the same, but having the correct tools and anti-static environment, I would prefer my own repair!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gubbs:
http://www.htceurope.com/

Send it back to the manufactuer.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] astage:
Doubt that's going to get me anywhere, since any contract I have is with the supplier not the manufacturer. Although the supplier could refer the matter to the manufacturer, the manufacturer has no legal responsibility to even talk to me, let alone repair or replace since they didn't sell me the product, o2 did!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BrettS:
I'm wondering if what you're seeing may be normal. Looking at my I-Mate Jasjar I'm seeing a similar thing. I can see it if I put the keyboard just below eye level and look across the top of the keyboard toward the back of the unit.

In my case, I have a slight dip just above my right softkey and also a bit of a bulge that goes all the way across from the middle of the left soft key to the dip above the right soft key. I'm not sure mine rises quite as sharply as you describe, nor does it seem to be quite as high, but it's definitely there. I had never noticed it before, but to me it looks like it's meant to be there.

Brett
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] SiliconS:
Just had a (very close) look and mine shows similar bulges/dips in the case where you describe. No way I'd have noticed it without your description so maybe mine isn't as bad as yours. You really have to get the light right to see the unevenness in the case.

I don't see the problem though if your machine is working. :? Why risk invalidating the warranty by disturbing the case screws?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] astage:
More of a problem when nobody else appeared to have the bulge, and after my colleague's Exec took up smoking.

Anyway, others might like to know that the case bottom is held on by more than the four visible screws in the battery compartment.

The android hackers toolkit is featured on google play store this week. It gets into abd:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GuyFawkes0317:
yeah that doesnt really get into creating a custom rom, i know pretty much all of what that book teaches, im looking for how to create and build custom roms from source, not really adb
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
If you follow almost any of the "Compile <whatever> ROM from source" threads here in XDA, you can get a pretty fair idea of how to set up your build environment and the very basics of building the ROM. From what I've seen, most tend to stick predominately to Linux compiling, but I do believe I've seen some guides for Mac. If you can't find what you're looking for on XDA, go to CyanogenMod's website; it has good tutorials for how to build straight CM10.x, which is what I would do to begin with. Since the S4 is officially supported and should compile right through problem free if you have your build environment correctly set up. Remember though, it takes upwards of 6-7GB disk space to download the source and just one build can take upwards of 20+GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GuyFawkes0317:
Right, well thank you for that, I'm looking to compile an aokp rom and other suggestions

Sent My Badass Galaxy S IV Running AOKP
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
I would highly recommend you use a Linux build environment to build aokp roms. Just Google "compile aokp xda" and there's a guide that shows you how to do everything fr beginning to end. You can also go to infamousdevelopment.com and check out Jamison's guides on how to compile aokp. If you don't have a decent PC I wouldn't even bother honestly lol

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 AM ----------

Aokp takes up more than that. Think it was 15-20GB of source and a build takes up another 25-30 and that's not even including ccache lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I just suggested to build CM because it should build flawlessly straight after a sync on a correctly set up machine. Basically what I was driving at was pick something that officially supports our device for your very 1st test-run build; that way you aren't chasing down little errors and attributing improper environment settings/packages/etc for errors in the code.

15-20GB for AOKP source? Really?? Not saying you're wrong or anything, but that just doesn't sound right at all. :eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Nope its about right. I think CM is closer to 30GB. Its the ONLY reason i don't develop AOSP ROMs/Kernels. Trust me, i wish i had the bandwidth to download all that. I think i calculated it to be approximately a month for ME to download :) I hate my internet :) Wish i had LTE at my home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
CM source is less than 10GB last I synced my repo. The "out" directory nudges upwards of 20GB+; but the source alone, not including the (source directory)/.repo which is just your source all packed up, is <10GB. Actually, (source directory)/.repo/projects is what you end up downloading. I'm going to bed now, but I'll double check those sizes tomorrow afternoon. I can understand how taking the contents of the whole directory with no completed builds shows up ~20GB, but you aren't downloading that much. I can download CM source on my home connection (~250KB/s) overnight.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
An entire source tree, which is what you need, is close to 30GB. You may have downloaded prebuilt stuff. Or only bits and pieces. I do recall reading somewhere there was a way to only get certain things which limited the size, but actual source is very large.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
I'll grab the size tonight. I use the project manifest on cyanogenmods github, and although I only have two device trees, I know for a fact that it's WAY less than 30GB.

Just checked... My CM10/.repo/projects folder is 9.1GB.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GuyFawkes0317:
Alright so I've got everything setup and running great, the only problem I have is when I try and get cherry picks, I get an error that reads as "fatal: not a git repository (or any of the parent directories): .git" any ideas why this might be happening

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PelPix:
Here's something interesting: there is a mechanical switch on the flashlight led that clicks with wear. It's actually quite cool. There appears to be a mechanical switch and an electrical switch in sequence. The mechanical switch connects the led when a program that may need it opens, and the electrical switch handles strobing.

I hear it when the camera app opens and closes, but not when the flash goes off. I hear it every time I toggle the flashlight, though. It's actually quite pleasing to the ears.

Anyone else experience this?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Katdragon:
Hi everyone,

My Galaxy Nexus decided to factory reset itself for no apparent reason. Since everything has vanished into the ether (apart from the Google play list of apps which I'll apparently have to re-download and my contacts list) I thought it might be a good idea to upgrade from Jellybean 4.1.2 to 4.3.

I've used NRT to back up the contact list (no messages or photos are left) and my apps are on the Cloud (at least they say I need to install them when I go through the play store) .

I've had a look around the forums for guides (I generally try to RTFM before I ask for help) but I'm rather confused.

Is there a specific guide that will give me step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade from 4.1.2 to 4.3? I've had a look at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010312 but because I'm a complete and utter n00b I don't know whether or not it's the right procedure.

Help please!

Thanks,

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liveMike:
First, read a bunch on this topic. This guide right here will walk you through rooting and upgrading your OS: http://galaxynexusroot.com/. Here is more info: http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/Samsung_Galaxy_Nexus_(toro)

Also, not sure which version of the gnex you have. but if you have the american verizon version (toro), this guide will walk you through step by step and includes all the files for a basic vanilla version of 4.3: http://rootzwiki.com/topic/36706-romaosp431101113-shiny-ota-like-stock-android-431-jls36i-no-bugs/

Once you install one rom, you can install any. Some of the more popular are cyanogenmod and aokp.

Basically what you are going to do is unlock your phone, install a back up program like clockworkmod, then install a new operating system (rom), gapps (google apps like gmail), and update your radios to 4.2. These guides should walk you through. Its actually pretty easy on the gnex.

Also as for backup, i personally use mybackup and others like titaniumbackup. I think titanium requires root but mybackup does not. Google also should update your contacts/apps for you automatically.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liveMike:
I would find a guide for your specific phone. I would not try out the verizon gnex tutorial.

Or should I just wait for KitKat (and will they be doing a rollout for my nexus anyway)?
