[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starriol:
rootSU, I'm reading that, very useful, thanks!

Quick and last question, can I brick it by flashing a kernel?

From what I understand, the kernel is part of the /system partition, like ROMs, so if I mess up, I can always get to recovery mode, correct?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Actually it flashes to mmcblk0p5 which is /boot.

Same risk as rom flashing though.

help me please.

model GT-I9100

FIRMWARE 2.3.6

last activity: trying to update the rom. wipe data and cache. then, flash the gapps. after that, this problem appears. the usb won't work causes of an old firmware (gb 2.3.6)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] machokingjim:
can you connect usb while in the download/recovery mode?

If yes use odin to flash a new kernel and a rom

If no then use your current recovery to flash a zip of a kernel and then flash a new rom

Your old rom might have corrupted

Gud luck:D
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kenneth196:
Hello all. Kinda combining 2 different topics/questions into one thread. I just have a couple of questions regarding the Nexus 7 (2nd gen):

1. I've never bought a tablet before but if I understand correctly, there's a Google Nexus 7 and an Asus Nexus 7. They are the same tablet correct (I've noticed that even on the Asus ones, it still has "Nexus" on the back)? Is there a benefit of buying the 7 from Google as opposed to Asus?

2. For anyone who plays emulators, what are your recommendations? I plan on playing only the major systems (GBA, DS, Playstation, PS2 (if it exists) and maybe trying out the Dolphin GC/Wii emulator for a bit). Since most SNES games have been ported over, I won't really bother with that one.

Thanks!!
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] raptir:
1. The Nexus 7 is manufactured by Asus but branded by Google. There aren't two different models, it would just be that the store you're looking at is incorrectly branding it as the "Asus Nexus 7." Based on the retailers linked from the official page you have:

Nexus 7 (this is on the Play Store so it makes sense that they don't brand it as Google there)

Google Nexus 7

Nexus 7 From Google

Google Nexus 7 By Asus​

Just make sure you're looking at the Nexus 7 2013 model and not the 2012 model. It could be branded as the "FHD" model as well. If you're in a country where it can be purchased from the Play Store I really recommend buying it there. If you buy it from the Play Store Google will handle any warranty claims and will usually replace it for a new device in the first year if a defect pops up. If you buy it from anywhere else you have to deal with Asus service which can be slow.

2. Although I really, really hate the idea of paying for an emulator, the *.emu emulators by Robert Broglia are by far the best I've found. Retroarch is decent (though mysteriously absent from the Play Store recently) but the touch controls on the .emu emulators are much more precise. I've also run into far fewer bugs in general with gba.emu/gbc.emu/nes.emu. Snes9x EX+ is a free SNES emulator made by the same guy, so it will show you the interface and everything. And to say that every worthwhile SNES game is ported to Android is a bit ridiculous :p
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Kenneth196:
Thanks!!! Quick and to the point. The Google/Asus makes sense. I've heard about Retroarch but never tried them, but I'll take your advice on the .emu emulators. Thanks again!

Edit: Forgot to ask. So is it safe to assume that the most recent emulators (in terms of most recent game consoles) for andoird would be Drastric (Nintendo DS) and PPSSPP (PSP Emulator)? I havent looked much at PPSSPP yet but Drastric seems compatible with most of the games.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] raptir:
Yeah, I think someone is working on a Wii emulator but it doesn't seem to be very functional yet. Everything PSX and earlier (that's a fairly popular system and attracted enough developer attention) should work.

Edit: And yeah, the DS/PSP emulators are definitely coming along.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mebonkers:
hi,

i have noticed that O2 has "mobile solutuions o2 active ui" installed in it by default, i love this user interface and would like to install it on my PDA2K runnig latest WM5 with patches... i tried copying the directory file from an o2 device onto my pda2k but it didnt work...

so is this UI available anywhere to download and will it run on the i-mate pda2k??

regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] joey jojo:
try this, it is from the o2 1.40 rom. i installed this on the t-mobile 1.40 rom and works perfectly, you could try it, if it dont work, then just uninstall it

if it does work, id like to know if it does, cos i might go back to WM5.0

if you go to the xda dev ftp site.

ftp://xda-developers.com

follow the following path

ftp://xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/O2_UK_XDAIIs_WWE_14000_237_11200_SHIP[Extended_ROM]/

in that folder, you will find the file named, Install.arm.cab

this is the cab file to install o2 active.

to access the ftp you need to log on with xda as both user name and password.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mebonkers:
hey jo,

its nice to c someone willing to help, cheers...

unfortunatly, where i am currently, i cant access ftp, and this is the only place i have internet access around here (am not home... business trip), so its either untill Feb that i will be able to access it or someone can upload it on http...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] badnews640:
Just got the phone yesterday, haven't rooted yet. But it wont allow me to use the external sdcard. I have a Sandsik 64gb class 10 microsd card. Anyone else with this issue? Only shows two options, storage\emulated\legacy or storage\emulated\0. So strange.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] toenail_flicker:
Same here. Tried and it won't show extsd as path option. Weird.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] badnews640:
Its not huge deal, just inconvenient. I'll have to download and move all files to my external with es. Which is totally going to confuse PlayerPro. Sometimes the app wont recognize songs for days at a time if I move them. Or at least thats how the GS3 acted.

Another issue I'm having is with MyFord Touch. Playing songs through bluetooth works, but the song title/artist doesnt change unless I pause the song on the screen and play it again. Dunno if its the Note 3 or what. :confused:

no need for changelog, the pic says them all (open it with browser if you can't see it from xda app-developers app), it's a brand new xperia launcher not modified from the old XZ version.

Yeap! Like a normal apk update. Works almost perfect as the 4.2.2 stock on my Xperia™ A (jap ZR version)

Widgets also restars often, but thanks for sharing

I haven't seen any properly ported Reader hub apps. You can try installing it through Samsung apps but I think our device isn't in the compatibilty list.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] zipho:
Thank you for the information, I just wonder why reader hub is not compatible with our device, weird and confusing because reader hub not compatible with grand duos, while galaxy core with specifications under the grand duos get reader hub (Downloadable from Samsung Apps)

Thanks
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] iceyhotguy:
Yea the compatibility list is actually too small. Most devices aren't covered in it and it's also region specific like Learner's Hub, kinda sucky of Samsung

I tried getting the apk from a third-party site but it won't install, just comes up App not installed, so I am using Moon+ as it has more than enough customizing features and delivers smooth reading experience for ebooks and magazines pretty much covers all formats :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Themes and Apps] zipho:
I still hope someone will ported reader hub from another samsung device for our device..

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] bal666:
Hi folks,

I wasn't going to release these until I'd finish the help file, but as they've already filtered out - I thought I may as well; and this thread will contain the latest release(s).

Firstly, as always when playing with ROMs be careful as you may end up killing your device - use these tools at your own risk!

These tools are Windows GUI based and allow you to:

•	View and modify ROM file header information

•	Decode Extended ROM files (e.g. ms_.nbf)

•	Extract FAT16 image from ROM files

•	Extract embedded splash screens

•	Remove extraneous data surrounding FAT16 images

•	Encode FAT16 images to ROM files

•	Insert splash screens into new ROM files

But you'll find not all functionality is available for all devices.

I'll post the help file (with a user guide) when it's ready, but in the meantime feel free to have a play and help me test the apps :wink:

By the way, if anyone knows what the ROM header fields called Unknown really are, I would very much like to know.

And yes, I've recently realised that the field I call "Device ID" is actually the memory location the ROM should be dumped to (well that's my current thinking anyway)...
