[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thruitan:
Hi! As the title states I'd like to request a custom ROM. First and most important, it has to work on my International Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300.

The other things I'd like is:

It should be based on the CyanogenMod 10.2 or 11 (whichever is best/most stable at the moment)

I want it to have Samsungs video player from the S3 or S4

It should not run TouchWiz as the launcher, instead I'd like the latest Google Home and Search.

If possible, put the Chrome or Chrome Beta browser as standard since I prefere those over the original browser.

If you have any of your own suggestions of other things that should be added, please let me know about them! With that I mean if you want to add something from the Carbon ROM or so.

It should be noted that I don't have the slightest clue if this can be done or not, but if it could, I'd be forever grateful to the one who accepts this request and delivers a ROM with these features.

Many thanks in advance!

I've posted over

my findings after living with the Universal for a week instead of the Wizard. I'm wondering if my experience is typical. If you have used both, I'd appreciate your comment. Hopefully it might help someone else who is deciding which one to buy or keep.

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] lisa1982:
hmmm...

Well at least I was happy to read that my choice isn't that bad after all...

I have in the past used the Blue Angel, the Magician and now the wizrad.

However I was really seriously considering swapping my device with a Universal - and I even had a person at my office that was willing to trade devices - new for new... when I got my wizard - 2 days later he got his universal and 3 days later he came to the conclusion that it's just to big to be used as a normal day to day use phone.

And one of the things that really made me seriously consider his offer was my assumption that the Universal is much faster and will offfer me a snappier and more responsive user interface with less lag and instant results (just like we all want and expect)... I didn't really try his phone - just played with it for 5 seconds.

I declined his offer due to the sheer bulk and weight of the universal which I assumed would render the device useless in my case... however I always felt like I was probably missing out on something... speed, 3G, VGA screen, large screen, amazing keyboard etc...

So... reading your comparison I am totally relieved that not only is it bulkier - it's also slower to respond...

ha. Good decision.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majj7698:
Hi, My brother has a rooted kindle (Which I rooted for him, he doesn't know much about root, but he wanted the play store). His kindle was starting to get laggy, and random touch input, Im thinking it's happening because it's just slow. I'm not sure what app is causing this, but just to point out.. So he wanted to format. I'm not sure if it will brick his kindle since it's rooted. But I did see a forum page about someone's phone on a black screen because it was rooted and he formatted it. So should I unroot it then format? Am I missing something?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrkhigh:
You do not want to format your kindle. Instead install a new rom such as kinology. Follow all instructions.

Thanks for the reply, but the kindle's bootloader isn't unlocked. Is there a workaround or anything from flashing a rom?

it wasn't marked as closed in the Repo so I (albeit in hindsight rather naively) assumed it was still in dev. well i flashed it on 4.4 krt16o and now i'm stuck on the bootanimation, what do i do now without doing a full restore?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buckeye_jeff:
1. Power down by holding in the power button till the N7 shuts down.

2. Boot into your custom recovery by holding down both the power button and up volume button till you see your recovery flash screen.

3. Then either flash your nandroid back up you hopefully made before flashing the v4.3 advance power control or if you didn't make a backup dirty flash your KitKat ROM zip.

This should get you backup and running.

This rooting method works, but i have a problem.

The kernel has the su binary installed, nd thats the problem; with a root checker it says no root access. Now i cant do anything else because everytime i do something to fix this issue, it stays the same after a reboot

Please help me
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
The purpose of the CleanGB kernel is to provide CWM v3.1.0.1. You only need to install Framaroot to root the phone.

I'm not exactly sure where you are stuck or what you are trying to achieve. I tried duplicating the process, but it is entirely possible that I made an error so any corrections are helpful.
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
Can you try to do a factory reset from the stock recovery and start over?
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
Yes, thats exactly what i did two times but it didnt work because once you flash something theres no way to go back unless you have a backup and a way to restore it or is there a way i dont know of?? I also checked right after the factory reset in the settings nd it still had the same kernel, and the root checker still said the su binaries were installed in the 3 places i mentioned earlier nd still without root access
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
EDIT: If you have tried this procedure on a Galaxy S3 then I would suggest this discussion be continued on the appropriate forum.
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
No, lets get this straight. I already rooted my gs3 a long time ago nd i didnt use this procedure with it. I used this procedure with my Epic
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
I assume you've already tried uninstalling any SU-type packages?
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
Yes i did.. In the SuperSU app in the settings section it has an option to Full Unroot, nd i think it works but it has to reboot, and at the time of reboot, the kernel overrides it and gets rid of any modifications like getting unrooted..

Looks like im going to have to bear with this nd just leave it like that, besides i already have a rooted gs3
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
So your are running CleanGB? When you open ROM Manager and select "Boot into Recovery" does it boot into CWM v3 and are you able to flash CWM v5 or do you still get the error?
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
Yes i am running CleanGB nd when i use rom manager and select "Boot into Recovery" it does nothing because i dont have root access and that means it doesnt have permissions to boot into recovery, however i did also try to manually boot into recovery but it took me to the stock recovery.. Is this supposed to happen??
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
Yes that is normal.

I see you say you tried reinstalling Framaroot, but try reinstalling again. But don't reboot. Afterwards go straight into ROM Manager and select "Boot into Recovery" and if rooting was successful I believe it should boot into CleanGBs CWM v3 recovery.
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
It did boot up into CWM v3 nd i tried to flash the CWM v5 but there were these weird things, look ill show u a picture of it.
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
For some reason all the forums posts images are broken for me. It seems to be a 404 error.

Ok lets try this:

Make sure you are rooted (install Framaroot again if you need to, don't reboot) and start SGS Kernel Flasher and flash your backup backed up stock kernel and reboot. Then try following the procedure again from the top as described to try to install CWM. Rebooting your stock kernel may or may not fix these issues. If it doesn't then it may require finding a way to fix it via a Terminal app or other method.
[Epic 4G General] cdupree:
I seem to be rooted in some ways but not in others

I installed Framaroot and it claimed success. However, that doesn't seem to be true according to the Root Checker app. I removed Framaroot, rebooted, reinstalled, and reran it with no difference. But what's weird is the first time it seemed to work, so I went ahead and tried to flash CleanGB and it worked. I'm currently running CleanGB.

The problem now is that when I ask ROM Manager to Boot into Recovery it won't do it, presumably because I don't have root access. What can I do next? Any suggestions are appreciated!
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
I would try reinstalling Framaroot (and don't reboot) then: Start ROM Manager->Reboot into Recovery
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
Thats exactly what is happening to me too, friend...
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
Sorry you're mistaken. You just posted a pic of CWM v3. So your "Reboot into Recovery" from ROM Manager worked.

Did you try what I suggested here to fix your errors?
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
Yeah sorry i meant that was what was happening to me..Nd tht wouldnt work because i dont have root access to flash back to my stock kernel
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
But you were able to "Reboot to Recovery" without root?

Sorry man, not sure I can help someone who isn't willing to make the effort to follow my directions.
[Epic 4G General] TheKillah512:
Alright lets just leave it like that, nd no hard feelings ok?? :)
[Epic 4G General] cdupree:
I can't "Reboot into Recovery"

I just got a refurb Epic 4G Gingerbread FC09 with 2.3.6 firmware and I'm having trouble rooting it.

I followed the instructions successfully to the point where I flashed the CleanGB kernel, but when I run ROM Manager and tell it to Reboot into Recovery it asks me to confirm and when I do so nothing happens. I've done the whole process three times to make sure I'm not screwing up as far as I currently understand. One odd thing is that Framaroot does not seem to produce root access, yet I was able to change kernels. Is that normal?

My desktop and netbook run Kubuntu so Odin isn't an easy option for me, which is why I was and am hoping this thread might help me get rooted. It's entirely possible that there's gross pilot error happening here since this is my first attempt at rooting, so any advice would be helpful, thanks!
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
EDIT:

Can you verify if you need to have the device (Samsung Epic 4G) selected inside ROM Manager in order to "Reboot into Recovery"? If that doesn't work then continue below.

You mean it does not produce root access according to "Root Checker" correct? I wouldn't bother with this extra step and right now I'd rather not go into why. The short answer is that this extra "root check" step appears to not be checking root correctly, because I'm pretty sure that SGS Kernel Flasher checks for root to do its work (you should see the SU pop-up?). Its hard to say if this extra step with Root Checker is causing you a problem or an extra reboot or what, but its not necessary. You should follow the directions exactly as stated.

If you have already tried the suggestion I gave in post #18 and that doesn't work then I would:

- Reflash the stock kernel.

- Reboot.

- Then try from step 1. Making sure you don't reboot unless its stated to reboot and avoid any other steps that aren't mentioned.

There could still be an error so I'd like to know where it is, but I went through the procedure a couple times to make sure it would work. I'd also like to hear if there is any confusion in the directions.
[Epic 4G General] cdupree:
I can't find a way to select the device in ROM Manager 5.5.3.2.

You're right that "Root Checker" doesn't think I'm rooted. But I also can't start Avast's firewall because it doesn't think I'm rooted either. And the biggie is that I don't end up with a Superuser/SU app.

Okay, I'll give that a try in the next day or two when I have time. Many thanks for offering your time and expertise! I'll be back when I've tried this route.
[Epic 4G General] Vindicate:
Everything works up to the point when I have to reboot into recovery. Seems like it isn't working. I click it and it does nothing
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
Hmm.. I would verify that you are running the CleanGB_Kernel_0b28e9767b.

I may have to verify the procedure at some point down the road.

framroot sph-d700 fails

I have an sch-d700 with stock gingerbread.fc09 (oops, I have TWO of these, and both do the exact same things)

Im not trying to upgrade the rom, only to root it. I've tried using framaroot, and it doesnt work. the only option it lists is aragorn. framaroot reports success, but no su binary is actually installed, and android doesnt update after reboot. I have no root access using connectbot, and the super su app reports no su binary is installed. It seems doubtful to me that other users will be able to proceed further with installing roms, if root was not actually attained. Im a little new at this myself, but have used framaroot with no problem on other devices, and am able to 'su' in a bash terminal and dd protected files, etc. Somthing just aint right with the sph-d700.... Im still trying, so if you know how to get su by framarooting the sph-d700, please let me know! And yes, I have been burning megabyte after megabyte of expensive mobile broadband searching the formus for an answer....

CleanGB Makes the phone unrootable via standard methods!

I'm having the same problems a lot of other users in this thread are having where I'm unable to obtain root access after flashing CleanGB. It seems that CleanGB patches all the exploits that apps like Framaroot use to root the phone. I've tried Framaroot, Z4root, and Towelroot. All three of them claimed success, but after rebooting (which is required), I once again have no root access. It seems that Z4root's temporary root option might work, but it causes the phone to lag extremely bad, which causes a lot of apps to not respond. If anybody can find a fix for this, please share. I don't even care about having CWM Recovery anymore, I'd just like to have root access again. I'm dying without Adaway and the ability to take screenshots!

---------- Post added at 05:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 AM ----------

The aragorn exploit is broken in framaroot 1.9.2. I downgraded to version 1.9.0 and it worked without a problem. I didn't have any problems until I flashed CleanGB.
[Epic 4G General] fencelizard:
more info

I took a closer look at what was going on. Framaroot DOES succeed in gaining root access and DOES install the superuser binary into the system folder. (I can read the contents of /system/apps without root access using connectbot). However, the phone needs to be rebooted in order for the system to install the app as a system app. After rebooting, the app no longer is in the system app directory, which is why it doesnt get installed. I guessing some sort of watchdog program has a manifest list of whats supposed to be in the system app directory, and removes anything not on the list in a pre-boot phase. Perhaps if the superuser binary is simply given the same name as an app already there (replacing an existing system app not needed) this could work. It does NOT appear that the exploits have been patched! The exploit works fine, the binary is removed after its installed. Maybe superuser.apk can be added to the manifest list, if its found.

Framaroot has the option to run a script file whike it has temp root access. This could likely be used to rename the files, or update a manifest list. Im not sure how, I have zero experience with linux scripting, and very little with android in general.
[Epic 4G General] Mr_You:
Thanks for looking into it further. I wish I could but my Epic 4G is my daily driver.

If you narrow down what needs to change in my instructions then let me know. The only difference that I can recall is that I did alternate between the CleanGB and possibly the ShadowKernel on this page.

But afterwards I switched to CleanGB because I thought it also contained CWM, etc.. But check into that cause that may be the missing link. :)

[LG Optimus 4X HD] gigsaw:
Yeah, you searched so well that you are pointing me an app that doesn't answers my question at all :laugh: I DID search before posting and I didn't find anything. Now I'm not even sure that you know what sweep2wake is. For anyone who don't know, s2w is a KERNEL feautre, so developers have to implement this. Only rooted nexus devices can add this as an app but they are the only exception (see PGM app in play store). This feature allows you to make a swipe on your screen *while it is off* (is kept on only the digitalizer and if you don't touch the screen, you won't have battery drain) to turn it on and vice versa. It's useful especially on big screens where reaching on/off buttons is not easy. About all HTC phones has it (even desire x, not an hi-end device), Sony xperia z and many other devices join day after day. LG g2 has this feature out of the box (OK, it's a double tap to wake, more than a sweep, but the way it works is the same, changes only the gesture).

And I checked all the 4x kernels out there, but didn't find this feature listed. And I'm asking why, since 4x has the same SoC of HTC one x, so it couldn't be so hard..

Sorry not to be the little lazy noob that you expected.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] SimonTS:
Did you bother reading the threads that had previously been created in the 4X forums which discussed Sweep2Wake? I searched for them and found that link which is why I posted it.

The reason I didn't research that app properly is because I have absolutely zero interest in this feature but as there were several threads discvered by searching -- one of which included my posting this on the 18th December last year

so I would suggest that I am well aware exactly what S2W is and what it does :rolleyes:

You would also have discovered that one of our key developers [MENTION=4716493]laufersteppenwolf[/MENTION] has looked at implementing this feature in Werewolf (both Kernel & ROM) but isn't sure due to the battery drain used in keeping the digitiser on all the time.

So, are you still going to claim you actually bothered to search properly?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Perphide:
Not long after I enabled the power saving mode on my S2 the device suddenly shutdown (while in my pocket, battery around 60% full) and couldn't turn on again. After 2 days the S2 suddenly booted again but still won't start up all the time when I want to.

My S2 device never had this issue before (I know it is a well known issue but apparently it should have been fixed in JB?)

Software I use:

- Apolo 4.12 kernel (Regular)

- Neatrom Lite

I am thinking of either hardware starting to fail or maybe the Apolo kernel has a bug that was triggered by enabling the powersafe mode?

I am not sure, anyone that can help/advise me?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dakura:
It's probably a software issue, JB has tons of bugs. What kinda advise do you want? You need to re-install the rom (and clear cache ofc) and if that doesn't work re-install the stock rom via odin and then install neatrom if you want. And just don't use power save mode until you get an update? It's useless anyway... You can also try another kernel, this seems like a kernel problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king_below_my_lord:
Power saving actually just have a few advantages like turning of un-needed things like haptic feedback and some other stuff which you could do manually, and the main power saving feature is that it limits the CPU to use only 800Mhz max, this might be having some issues with Apollo kernel (as it works fine with stock or stock based kernel like Philz), but Apollo is a powerful kernel and will let you manually adjust the CPU limits even at your preferred limits manually, so if you want to save battery just manually adjust the settings instead of using Power Saving mode.
