T-Mobile Galaxy S3 SGH-T999

Latest TWRP recovery

CM 10.2 (Nov 6 nightly- Android 4.3.1)

I am trying to fix the storage issue that the multiple user profiles created when going from Android 4.1 to 4.2, where symlink folders are created and multiple instances of every installed app trick the phone into thinking more storage is being consumed than it actually is.

I found a video (Google: youtube how to fix htc one storage) which is specific to HTC One but figured it would work fine for me.

The video basically tells you to do a full factory wipe from TWRP and then ADB Sideload your ROM of preference.

My issues:

A. I installed Android SDK on my PC (Windows 7 64-bit) as well as the Android USB drivers. I enabled android debugging and did the kill-server and start-server and can get my PC to recognize my Android phone as an 'authorized device' upon entering 'adb devices' on the command line. However, once I wipe the card in recovery, my device ceases to appear in the cmd line. The list is empty. I need to understand why that happens.

B. Even though I've done a 'factory wipe' in recovery, if I reboot my phone, it goes to the CM setup screen and guides me thru initial phone setup.

Looking for some advice on the above issues. Clearly I'll need for my PC and phone to be able to communicate via ADB sideload first, then I can worry about issue B.

I'm not super experienced at this, but appreciate any help someone could provide. Alternatively, if there's a solution to fix the 4.2 storage issue without a full wipe and clean flash (via ADB), then that would be ideal. I've searched for answers on this specific topic to no avail.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] killerz298:
I recently installed 4.3 by doing an upgrade on my unrooted S4. I noticed a few things and was wondering if anyone else was having the same problems.

1. LTE is expanding in my area so I constantly go in and out of 3G and LTE service. Sometimes when this happens data just stops ****ing working until I enter airplane mode and then come back out of it (a reset works as well). For some reason (or is it just a coincidence?) the problem seems to have amplified since installing 4.3. Is this just a result of Sprint's ****ty network or am I dealing with a hardware issue?

2. Ever since the upgrade, 3 of my generic chargers stopped functioning. There is nothing wrong with the chargers, they work fine on other devices but when I plug them into my S4... I get nothing. 2 chargers are the same brand while the 3rd is a different brand. I have had 0 issues with these chargers pre-update. The stock charger, my car charger, and another generic charger consistently work without issue though. Anyone having any charger issues?

3. I have all visual effects disabled using developer options. Ever since I installed this update the phone keeps reactivating "transition animation scale" to 1x. It isn't even done when the phone restarts, it is just completely random. I will pick up my phone and the damn transition is there again. Any idea as to WTF the problem is?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] SpencerWeiss:
My epic 4g touch has Ice cream sammich on it. My sisters boyfriends has Jelly Bean. I asked him how to upgrade it, but he said that he took it to sprint and they did it. What should do to update to Jellybean.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] erikalin:
Hi.

Is your phone not rooted? If it's not rooted, take it to Sprint and they will do it. ;) Or go to Settings -> System Update -> Update Firmware.

If your phone is rooted? Go here and follow steps to flash a Jellybean ROM. You're look for "GB27" and you want the file called "one-click." Directions are in that thread.

Or see directions for how to flash a Jellybean ROM + modem here.

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hsientw:
Dear all,

I am so disappointed that my AT&T HTC One is not working right now.

It was my first time doing rooting and flashing a ROM, and I thought it would be as easy as doing jailbreak on iPhone.

For some reason, I just did not backup my phone.

Here is what happened:

1. I went to HTC official site to get my phone rooted, and it went well, I assume.

2. Then I found out that titanium backup told me my device was not rooted properly.

3. I was too confused to figure out what I should do, so I went for a Chinese software.

It says that I can be rooted and unlocked within one click.

4. So I used the software and it worked.

5. I realized my phone was still s-on, and someone commented that flashing some ROM would make it s-off.

6. I went for this "one click" software again... and it destroyed everything...

7. In the beginning, my phone would stop at the One logo. Then, I used boot starter or whatever it called to install recovery?

8. In the end, the phone won't boot. It shows the HTC logo and becomes black screen.

9. My computer cannot detect my phone as well. Yes, I have tried every option in boot menu.

What can I do right now?

Please? Anyone?

Thank you all...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] FanDroid09:
Can you boot into the boot loader menu?

With phone powered off hold down the power button and volume down button at the same time, phone should load a menu with a mostly white screen and different rows of text.

If you can get a picture of the info on that screen it would be helpful.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] zachbrando516:
htc logo stuck on screen

i have the same problem and its just stays on the htc logo,no down button and power dont work.even let the battery drain and charged to press volume down and power and it still just stays at the htc logo.

TI OMAP - all new HTC devices have this processor inside - is a dual core processor. Is it possible to switch some tasks which are loaded maybe from the OS to the main core processor to the second core from OS point of view?

Repeating tasks can be switched - the result is a performance gain on the other core...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] onk:
MPx200 use TI OMAP710

main core used for OS

second core used for RADIO

HP iPAQ has several devices with dual core

but I didn't find how to use DSP TI 55xx core under Win CE

under Emb Linux OS - there are several ways how to do it. And they are "opened" and easy to use.

I think it has to be presented as some SDK... - but where is it? :)

btw, in MPX200 2nd ARM core uses ATI NUCLEUS rtos, which is quite "hackable/reversible" :lol:

It works with Windows, it is only for noobs still on stock ROM who don't know how to root and install custom recovery.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Soryuu:
That's a bit rude to newcomers isn't it? The CM installer's meant for everyone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] mooms:
No I don't think so, if you already have a custom recovery it is not needed at all.

My post wasn't meant to be rude, we're all noobs before knowing !

This installer is great for those who don't want (or can't) take the time to learn how to install recovery, etc....

Ahh right, now I get you. Apologies for misunderstanding - although still, there will be at least one person who won't be bothered going through the manual process :P

Hello All,

Looking for help rooting an APEX 7 inch tablet.

4gb memory split between internal and internal sd

I downloaded and tried to root this tablet manually by downloading and pushing over the superuser.ap and su binary. Push worked ok with no errors and I am able to get su user access through adb shell. But when trying titanium back up or any other method to test root on the device it always fails. I have the following information from srs one click root.

Says it is rooted, I have root access through adb shell. gets toast notification that root has superuser access. just the device itself doesnt recognize root. I have tried unrooting and rooting again. and am now in the process of trying different versions of su binary and superuser.apk.

is there a way to fix this or can anyone recommend a already rooted rom that would be good for this tablet.
[General Questions and Answers] krayzieiyian23:
Having the same issue too, but I went a little deeper and found that the ttablet has a legacy such binary in its system. I tried updating it and the update fixer and neither work so I downloaded the such binary from androids.com and installed from recovery and still the same issue. I think there has to be a file that pairs it to the system so we can grant or deny access. I just bought 2of these so I'll try different root methods for 4.2.2 to see if I can get something k.

ok i found a full root... search for a phone root in the samsung galaxy s 3 mini thread. its for the sm-g730a root.( i have one of the phones and its a chinese root). when u root it by that way make sure you have super su already installed and click the chinese root first and allow supersu to gain root access then update the binary on supersu and voila you have a rooted apex 7in tablet. now time to debloat my system and hopefully someone will make a recovery and rom for this tablet

First time rooting tablet

So I want to gain Root access to my Tmax 9HD, my skill is modding and rooting Samsung variation cell phones. I'm new to the tablet scene and would like some solid "Working" roots methods.

I am using the TM9S775 , running on Android version 4.1.1 I'm not looking for an upgrade just Root access so I can start modding it myself as I have my own preferred setup.

Any help for rooting would be greatly appreciated, I did see the above method, but won't try it until it becomes verified to work effectively.
[General Questions and Answers] Zaldor:
I'm in the same boat, would like to root it, as it seems that Google updates cause the gapps and hangouts to stop uncontrollably after a week or two... But I haven't done much rooting other than Samsung or HTC phones.. I'm sure if we put all our minds together we can figure it out!

Interesting rdhugs, once you got it rooted with Kingo Root, were you able to successfully install another ROM on it? If so, which one?
[General Questions and Answers] jyams:
I have also rooted my Tmax 9 inch and am also looking for a custom ROM. Please, has anyone loaded a custom rom??? Really wanting to do this. Thanks.

BTW, used KingO root. Root was effortless. Have done a complete ADB Backup and rebooted to recovery using ADB reboot recovery with no problems. Would love to know if anyone has loaded a custom recovery and a custom ROM, especially a 4.4 based ROM. Was pretty impressed with the KingO root app. It loaded SuperSU and device showed root with rootchecker on first try. Very nice. The only thing I could not get to work in ADB was rebooting to bootloader.
[General Questions and Answers] Zaldor:
Very cool... I actually emailed TMAX about the issues I was having, and according to them the tablet will only work witn 4.1... we shall see!

Do you have the ADT bundle installed? Install that first, then try motochopper again.

---------- Post added at 06:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:39 PM ----------

They told me that the tablet isn't able to run any other OS than what they themselves put. Sounds like a bunch of crap, but I was reading that some tablets/phones aren't able to install ROMs that aren't digitally signed by the manufacturer. I tried a few custom ROMs for 4.1.1 that weren't meant for our tablet, just to see if i can even get mine un-bricked, but none of them were able to be installed.

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:45 PM ----------

Figured I'd put up this code here so maybe you guys can tinker with it. It's the vold.fstab edit I did. It swapped the SD cards so that external SD was reading as internal, but it wasn't sticking after reboot. I tried messing with build.prop to make it stick, but it bricked my tab =T

# Mounts the first usable partition of the specified device
#use this line to support VIRTUAL CDROM.And you can define the directory where you want to mount

Anyone had luck putting CWM or Other recovery on the tablet? And no one has made backups of the original rom?
[General Questions and Answers] Deleted member 5627604:
root

i have a strong feeling they wont be updating...much much less releasing source. either way i rooted the tablet by pushing root in sideload. also, through a few 3rd party mounts. by luck i would assume, i wouldnt trust how solid of a root it is. none the less. i have been adding our tablets name to similar MID tablets on the markets source 4.2.2 factory roms to see if i can hit a home run.....theory says thats it stays signed and just adding the tablets model to the list of acceptable models in the rom. would allow it to work seeing how they are ALL on AM3,4,5,6 technology anyway and i have the drivers and program to change the "TM9s775" inside the tablet itself. i have yet to turn up anything just yet. i am thinking a AM3 jig from another tablet to force boot a new boot loader. i have done similar jigs to samsung and lg products. i dont get on here much. im more active in gsm-forum under another account name. if i have a break though ill do my best to just PM those who need to know.
[Nexus 4 General] terryhau:
Open any app eg. dialer.

Press home button. There is a slight delay (the amount of delay seems to vary at random) and then it closes. Sometimes it's not noticeable, sometimes there's a half a second delay.

When it does happen, you can see the home button light up animation stuttering too.

Compare this with the back button.

Open app again

Press back button. It closes instantly every time.

This is repeatable, and happens with every app.

Edit:

There also seems to be added delay to the multitasking button.

When pressed at the home screen, it's there's a small amount of delay. When pressed inside an app, there's a one second delay.

Using ART runtime seems to fix the lag in home and app switcher buttons, though 4.3 did not have the lag and it was dalvik, so not sure what that means.

Pulling down the notification on lockscreen also lags. But I do have the transparent system bars mod so it could be that.

I see what he means.. I wouldn't call it lag, just delayed.

I did a screen record of it. It's so minimal I would never have noticed it until my attention was called to it

I have animations disabled

[YOUTUBE]BVeInYHW1DI[/YOUTUBE]
[Nexus 4 General] monkor:
Not to sound rude but... this is a complaint? I get that the transition animation might look like crap and a tad choppy. In that demo at least, it does. But come on, just turn the animations off if they bother you. I've got an iPhone 5S, which is by most accounts the smoothest mobile experience, and clicking the home button takes the same amount of time (probably longer) because of the stupid fade in/out stuff.

If your complaint is a freeze up, then that's valid. But as an aside, I'm with you in that these animations are getting borderline cumbersome and stupid. The "lag" you see is Google's need to utilize these things.They used to be cool, like the first 1,000 times I saw them. Now they're just a lame hindrance to opening an app.
[Nexus 4 General] terryhau:
Actually has nothing to do with transition animations.

It is the delay with the home button press being registered, before the animation even starts.

And actually in the video recording above, animations are off.

This is a regression. In 4.3 the home button was much more responsive, so yes it's a complaint. Actually, not really. I'm just putting the information out, and also want to see if others are experiencing the same.
[Nexus 4 General] monkor:
I'd love it I'd you could stop watch these findings to display this massive regression.

Not to sound rude but... you're complaining about a complaint?

Out.

I am using factory stock with AOSP launcher (launcher3.apk from CM11) and ART enabled, don't have that problem, its very responsive.

Don't watch this if you suffer from epilepsy.

[YOUTUBE]WatZhUxnMSc[/YOUTUBE]

I guess sometimes there are 100ms delay, but its not abnormal. Delays tend to be because its trying to launch a new app.

I just tried Google Launcher and its not an issue either.
[Nexus 4 General] styckx:
This should go without saying but... I'll throw it out there anyway. Because... Yeah...

For anyone watching the screen record I made.. You have to remember the overhead encoding video and writing to the Sdcard will have on the end result. ie: Performance in video may not be a complete accurate representation of real world use.

/I just wanted to use screen record and this looked like a opportune time. :)
[Nexus 4 General] morgante:
I've noticed the same thing on both 4.3 and 4.4. Captured a video of mine and streamed it to Twitch since it's one of the few places that accepts and plays back at 60 FPS: twitch.tv/caiman86/b/479853664 (won't let me linkify it since I have too few posts)

Sometimes the home button is perfectly responsive and sometimes there's that strange hitch and delay when going home. The video showcases this fairly well.
[Nexus 4 General] terryhau:
That video shows the issue pretty clearly. Link (since you can't post a direct link)

Though I can't say I remember having this issue on 4.3. I could be wrong. My girlfriend has a Nexus 4 still on 4.3, so when I can get my hands on it (probably tomorrow), I'll confirm.

But even if it was in 4.3 and not just a new 4.4 issue, I still think it's worth reporting.

Also I don't actually know if this is specific to the Nexus 4. If anyone has a Nexus 7 or 10, could you please test if it happens.

Thanks.

Have you ever had a go on an s3? I had a go on my dad's and there's a huge wait after pressing home and anything happening, although admittedly this is because you can double tap home to open something (s-voice I think it was)
