[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] P0yraz:
Hey guys,

I just wonder if there is a some sort of ROM restore point such as one in windows?

To tell you the truth I had a conversation with someone on my viber app and then the conversation deleted accidentally and then I changed my ROM to 4.3 but now my wife thinks I had an inappropriate conversation with this girl, now I have the backup file of my rooted 4.2.2 ROM now I wonder if there is any restore point in android or not, cause as I looked and surfed in net there seems no way to get back the deleted messages from viber someone told me there is a way to get back the deleted files from internal memory with some adb code which ofcourse I don't know how and I don't how much is true, please and please if there is anyone having infromation and knows a way to solve this problem please I'm begging you to help me :crying::crying::crying: this is a case of life and death my wife wants to divorce and she is my love of life and I did nothing wrong to harm her and I never even think of betraying her please help me for the sake of my kids don't let them lose their mother or their father :crying::crying:

can this be any use or help?!

In a SQLite database in /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases/viber_messages There is no simple way to back it up and/or restore them to the phone. A SQLite editor can let you view them but it is not very efficient or simple.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] goody:
I got a vodafone branded wizard (VPAcII). The built in cam soft introduces rather strong and (most imporant) badly calculated sharpening to the pics. It causes artifacts which in fact deteriorates the pic's quality.

With my magician i usually turned down sharpening at all. There was a setting to do this in the cam's software (together with contrast, brightness etc). Such a setting is missing in my wizard's cam soft.

Do all wizards of all brands and ROM versions lack this option to set a value for sharpening?

If there is a cam soft which has this option: Could it be made public and posted, thus i could try to use it on my device?

If there is no cam soft for the wizard with such an option: Could sharpening be influences by a registry setting?

Thanks for any help!

Note : This is not a "best rom" thread

Mods, I f you find this against rules, close it

....

I made this thread to be a refrence for people before installing specific rom, and instead of reading many posts in the rom thread, read a review or 2 here and decide. And Also to stop the best rom threads and help confused users.

How to post a review?

1) rom

2) kernel

3) any additional tweaks you installed

4) your review about the rom, mention bugs, good things, laggy apps, theme....etc

"Just post reviews only please and make this thread clean" :D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mohamedrashad:
Rom : jb experience special edition 2 [cm7.2]

Kernel : percy cm#2

Tweaks : N/A

The rom is pretty cool, theming is the most similar to holo interface, it is quite fast and not bad in daily use, ram consumption is pretty good, I liked the theming but the setting's background is too much black. Sometimes it lag while scrollin. In my opinion the fastest cm7 rom I have ever tried and makes you almost belive you are using a cm10 rom

:D:D
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] mohamedrashad:
ROM : MiniROM touchwiz UX

Kernel : javris v2.1 #22

Tweaks : adrenaline engine 4.5

I loved this rom becuase it offers a real touchwiz 5 interface, every single detail is themed like TW5 , the developer didnt miss any thing. I didint like the boot animation * samsung logo then a pink flowers *

The rom is laggy sometimes and takes too much time after boot to stabilize..the rom doesn't support arabic by default so you have to flash Arabic language pack. I think if you are tired of holo themes or a fan of tw5 this rom is cool for you

In performance it is pretty fast but some apps like instagram lags too much.

On a scale from 1 to 10 I give it 8
[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] Sanjuujosephh:

I can get into recover,download mode, or the rom boot screen but phone turns off right after. It won't stay on long enough to change roms or backup anything. Does anyone have any suggestions of what to do? Thanks in advance
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
Can't not can...stupid tablet won't let me edit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Please Specify your Rom and Kernel. If on Stock, do a factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
I'm on Cyanogenmod with stock Kernel from Cyanogenmod, never changed my kernel. It was working fine for months then just rebooted on its own and won't stay on since. Unfortunately I'm stock and I'm not even sure it will stay on long enough to do anything to it.Its also not the battery. This video shows exactly whats happening to mine. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J61jghxz-Vc
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
If it can stay stable in Download mode, then you can Odin Flash Root66. Once that's done, flash recovery again and the Rom.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
That's the problem I can't. Is there any other options. I'm not worried about backups or anything I just want it fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
The video points to Recovery only. Have you tried to boot into Download mode (the kind that has yellow triangle and Downloading message ) ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
Yeh I've tried recovery and download. Neither one stays on for more than 5 seconds and in download mode after clicking up to go into download mode the phone restarts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Could be hardware, could be softbrick. Can you try the De-Bricking thread's instructions ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
Trying to find it now. Can you point me in the right direction with a link??
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Here you go.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
I'm beginning to think its a hardware problem. I got it to boot into recovery long enough to factory reset, load a new rom, and gapps. I rebooted and it loaded for a few seconds and turns off. It booted again and went to the optimizing apps screen then shut off before it could finish. Does this sound like it could be a software problem?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
I got the phone to boot into cyanogenmod but in the set up screen it failed again. Really getting annoying and I can't figure out how to fix it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Pull battery. Then put it back. Does it try to turn on by itself? Could be the power button issue many others have had.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
YES thats it I was thinking there might be a problem with the power button...Is there a fix on this or a thread anywhere?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
There have been many threads posted with this issue, and some did manage to just buy the part and fix themselves. No instructions though thst I'm aware of.

I'd suggest you google galaxy s3 or t999 teardown.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pivo99:
Found a few posts and people just thump around the general area of the power button and that seems to be a temporary fix and it worked for me for a little while. It's gonna work long enough to revert everything to stock and send in. Thanks you two for your help

We really cant make folders? I find favorites unusable.
[Themer General Discussion] alldroid:
on the desktop you can m8 just drag one icon into another,this will create a folder then simply long press,edit and rename,assuming this is what you mean,and remember this is still in beta
[Themer General Discussion] kingkaiser:
I'm guessing he's talking about folders in the app drawer itself, like nova launcher has. I found it to be remarkably convenient.
[Themer General Discussion] ThemerSupport:
We are working on recreating the app drawer that will include folder support. Sorry about the delay.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pierzu:
Hi, i have problem after debranding my galaxy.

Wifi is not turning on, and i can't call, when i try, there is a black screen.

I have branded PL in "Plus", and i tried with xeo roms from april (I9505XXUAMDE) and may (I9505XXUAME2) and modems for them.

When i tried first time to change rom, i had error in odin (can't write or something like that). So i rooted my device using cf-auto-root, changed csc from btu to xeo, then I9505_OFFICIAL_STATUS_MOD, wipe and triangle away, then rom.

How i can fix that?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikasnoske:
If I be you - i try to go to Advanced phills touch recovery menu, format there everything (system, data, partitions EVERYTHING) except sd card. Then i would like to try to flash Android OS (4.3) with repartition (pit file if I remember it correctly). After that, the good idea is install root, than phills touch again (I don't remember, but something overrides another one and recovery menu dissapears or...whatever, need to try) and test again if you have this issue.

Giving this information you gave, it's even for SUPER DUPER PRO EXTRA HIGH-RANKING with IQ over 9000 developer is actually impossible. ;) Anyway, I'e just told you the best way how to fix it. :)

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Apu889:
hi,

my phone is Xperia Mini Pro (SK17i), recently i've unlocked the BL and begin installing some custom roms. my first custom rom is Super JB v6 with nAa kernel, it worked flawlessly, but strange, if the battery still has 15% or bit lower, it suddenly down to 1%! and my phone goes off less than 1 minutes later.

i think it has rom/kernel problem, so i changed to some roms & kernels, from flawless ICS, xNXT until now im using MIUI Life. bad luck, it GETTING WORSE! now if my phone still has 80% battery life, it goes 1%!. i think its battery problem, but after 80% to 1% shutted down, i turned on again, and going to CWM recovery. i'm doing nothing here unless to keep my screen on for checking if it actually battery problem, it should shut down for a seconds. but i've waiting until about an half hour, my phone still ON.

WTF is the problem? is my phone really bricked?

P.S. clearing battery stats don't works, and i believe that was just myth.

any answer will be appreciated. thanks :)

Reflash to Stock FTF and then flash a ROM ...Try being on Stock ROM for a few days IMO and check if it persists ...Get a new battery and check it ...It more looks like a faulty sensor imo ...

Am I right?

Is it possible (if unlocked propertly) to brick phone? I had never briked... But had mano bootloops and etc... But after flashing everything right all problems are solved. Am I missing something?

Re: yea, dumb me...

The original is in ROM. You can overwrite it. Don't use PC to copy it to PPC. Copy the file to a folder in your PPC, and then using the Resco File Explorer copy the file to Windows directory. Keep a backup first if you wish and then press copy. It will ask you, if you wish to overwrite it press yes and you're done.

I've done the same thing and works like a charm.

in light of this new information, if LG is doing this with their TV sets, I can only wonder how far they go with their phones ...making me rethink any LG mobile purchases.

[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
Yeah, same here. I'm running an AOSP based ROM now, so it's not going to send anything to LG. But I don't want to support a company with ethics like that.

Its not that did it on purpose, its more of a bug. And just becuase its happening to their smart tvs doesnt mean its happing to their phones, 2 different divisions of a company. Its not like the tv and mobile divisions have the same software engineers.

[G2 General] MicroMod777:
Don't matter what we do cause as long as were connected to the net, somebody is watching. U can run, but u can't hide! LOL
[G2 General] crashN2u:
Exactly. I really don't see what the huge problem is. They are basically putting cookies on your TV, but obviously, in this case, the information was being sent to LG's servers to be compiled. Everyone does it, hell XDA shows me ads for something on Amazon I just looked up minutes ago.

I understand, that snooping on your network is a bit much just to reccomend shows and choose advertisements, but it's not like you can't stop it. Simply put your TV on your guest network. Boom. Done. No more access to other devices on your network.

It's not like other manufacturers aren't doing similar. Samsung TVs mine a ton of data. In addition, the models with cameras, can actually watch you. In some instances, it will be used to make sure you don't have more than the allowed amount of people watching an on demand event or streaming rental, but it can also be used to count people in the room, whether they're male or female, and whether or not they are being engaged by what's on the screen be it ads or media. This hasn't stopped them from being the number 1 TV manufacturer.

As for phones, Apple and Samsung have both been caught logging locations and taking pictures of it's users and that hasn't stopped them from being the number 1 and 2 smartphone manufacturers. On top of that, they aren't the only one's digging through your phone for data.
[G2 General] eggman89:
That has not happened till now. Stop talkig out of your @ss.
[G2 General] crashN2u:
Um, no. The ability has existed on the last 2 model runs, it just wasn't implemented, just tested. It was due to studios wanting to make sure that people weren't having a too many people watching at one time. It's a form of copyright protection. You can watch a movie at home with a bunch of friends no problem, but streaming a movie for say your church, is a big no-no. At that point they want you to pay them like a theater would. Using it for advertisements is fairly new and that didn't really ruffle too many feathers until Microsoft's kinect. The new kinect is making waves again because it can even measure your heartbeat. Businesses would love to find out what kind of ads get your heart racing.
[G2 General] player911:
It is not a bug. Have you guys read the article? LG even confirms that it did that intentionally to better viewing experiences and enhance advertisement viewing. The 2nd part about it trolling your network and pulling information from everything it finds, and sending it off to LG, was supposed to be from an unfinished feature that was never implemented. Funny how they made sure it grabbed your information and successfully transmitted it back to their servers.

They are going to get in a LOT of trouble for this. I can honestly see them getting heavily sued. Not only were they stealing personal information without consent but also using up your personal bandwidth and invading your private viewing habits.

My dad is one that I'm sure will be severely affected. He is getting older and growing intensely paranoid to do anything. He used to work for HP and now is petrified to go out doors half the time. He disables his WiFi just because he fears someone hacking his network. Unfortunately he just bought a new Smart LG TV like last year. Now he's going to be afraid to watch the damn TV.

Yea you can say, well just turn off the WiFi or unplug the Ethernet... but someone who is paranoid like him doesn't think like that. His response will be, well they'll just code it to automatically turn WiFi on in the middle of the night for 30 minutes or whatever, then turn it back off when its done scouring his files.

It seems trivial to most people but this seriously effects some. The fact that HP SPECIFICALLY coded these things to do these tasks is appalling. This is NOT a bug. When you enable the Privacy Settings, all it does it flag the information as "privacy enabled" yet still sends it.

Very scary stuff. LG stole your information and sold it to the highest bidder. This will and should be a lawsuit. Companies shouldn't be allowed to profit from unwilling customers, especially when they specifically opted out. The fact that it also scans your internal network is also a HUGE compromise, both security and privacy.

Horrible.
[G2 General] caribouxda:
If you live in the states I do not understand why complain. Your government has been spying on you guys since day 1 you were born. There is no more privacy anywhere you go in the world now. Unless you live in one of those third world countries, but in that case you would not have smart tv because there would be no wifi and stuff.
[G2 General] SKyRocKeting727:
The government has a track on everyone. The only way is to stop using phones, computers, tablets, anything that has access to location and internet. Anything that accesses an IP address...no way to hide from them. Like it or not, that's the world we live in.
