[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emily02:
I took a look around and didn't see another thread answering my question although, I'm so clueless i'm not even sure what I would be looking for so PLEASE don't slam me if I am posting this when it's posted somewhere else!

I have a Rooted Nexus 4 that I managed to figure out how to Root with the Nexus Root Toolkit & I just updated everything today when I plugged my phone into my laptop and the toolkit popped up a bunch of different windows telling me that i needed to upgrade to new versions of this and that BUT here's where I get confused - I got a notification on my phone that I almost downloaded just out of pure habit but the notification said that there is a new version of Android out 4.4 but if I download that, I'm not longer going to be rooted, correct? But then when i plugged into my laptop and the toolkit opened, i didn't get any pop up telling me to upgrade the system to the new 4.4 so I don't know what to do or how to download this new update and still be able to keep my root access.

AND FINALLY just ONE more question - i rooted my phone so i could have a free hotspot but i dont know what else I can do with the phone that will make it more awesome than it was when it was rooted besides just this. What is a Rom and Kernal and all that stuff? I want to have my phone do things it wouldn't be able to do normally and I want it to be different color theme too. I just want my phone to do awesome stff that impresses me but i'm super clueless on all this stuff. there's way too much to learn and i won't remember it all.

So a Breakdown - update system with root access to 4.4

2 - make my phone look cooler with different icons and colors

3 - install apps people who are not rooted wish they could have

Can anyone please help me?? Yes, i'm CLUELESS!! Thanks!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtaguitar7596:
hi i hope this helps

1.if you update your phone to 4.4 you will lose root.

2.the look of the nexus 5 like the home screen isnt the same it is the same you have on 4.3 but the status bar icons are white. you will have like the tap and pay, and some features like that.

3. if you want to root after 4.4 you will just need to wait maybe a week or 2 for the devs to figure out how to root 4.4 if they havent already.

but if you update your phone to 4.4 and you want the homescreen of the nexus 5 search google for "google home.apk" hope this helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emily02:
Thank you so much for your help!!

Glad to help
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Here is the latest AMJ3 ROM, modem and kernel for our i8190 devices. Don't try to install it any other variation of the SIII mini! Just download and install via recovery. If you don't have network once booted after flashing modem, just reboot and it will be OK.

ROM

This is the stock AMJ3 ROM with some changes:

Rooted with Chainfire's SuperSU

Pre-installed busybox for apps

All apps deodexed for flexibility

All apps zipaligned for performance

The zip file is signed

The ROM was debloated of some unnecessary apps. I removed exactly the same apps as tys0n's on his ROMs to be on the safe-side. You can download any of this apps using tys0n's repository.

The zip file contains the AMJ3, so you don't need to flash it separately. The installer will automatically wipe system/cache/dalvik partitions. If you are coming from a non-stock ROM, please wipe data yourself using your recovery. This ROM can be flashed using both TWRP and CWM, but I recommend TWRP.

If you want to update your baseband along with the ROM, flash the modem from this thread.

Download: https://mega.co.nz/#!wMlAwKTD!O2wNgn0OTvNYTzjt3GZqQVa5MURToMyzIkc0nom2tPU

MD5 checksum: 59cd1790bcabf8cb58288f18732b46eb i8190xxamj3.zip

If you don't have a recovery, you can use my Odin package. This will flash AMJ3 ROM, kernel and baseband, plus a TWRP recovery modified by Maclaw so it works with Android 4.4 KitKat ROMs. If you have a non-stock ROM installed, make sure you boot into recovery after flashing and do a factory reset!

For flashing this, make sure only Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time are checked, select the file clicking in PDA and hit start.

Download Odin Package: https://mega.co.nz/#!lV9wlRwa!LZHXF35W-JPJETUW0YPYhx49pBZWTJzW7PjJwugmfUk

Note that I compressed this file using 7zip. This way the file will be 100MB+ smaller than using zip and speed up my upload and your download. It's a win-win! If you don't know how to extract it, download 7zip.

Modem (baseband)

https://mega.co.nz/#!FAlWSApA!KsnCOmH5zI6ynml8Df_rWTpxdlYyT_GLgSMMbnpTkgE

Kernel

https://mega.co.nz/#!dNEgyQBZ!Dd_qvmaid24ZukAjJBHDcjoLKyA8_4HcMCVcoSlSQaE

Both modem and kernel installers are based on tys0n's work. The modem is a copy-cat from somin.n's work.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Updated with kernel :) Have fun
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mihanstar:
Hi,

Q: Extracted from which ROM?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] somin.n:
Downloaded modem from mega and from xda too but got update error :/ Can you check it please... Btw thank for it ofcourse ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
I'll check it out. It worked here, must have something to do with the file I uploaded.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mauam:
I have the same probl here, fix it please.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
OK I found what it is. I'm going to take out the links and post back once I upload the files. Sorry!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] JackoMJ:
hi bud,

thanks for latest kernel and modem
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Gusta_HR:
Can anyone tell me whats new in this rom? Samsung doesn't provide any changelog as usually.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Fixed the modem. Everything should be fine now. Uploading the kernel!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] JackoMJ:
which ROM???

these are just updates for kernel and modem
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] mauam:
Works perfect now with cm10.2. Thanks a lot bud)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] JackoMJ:
dito bud,

waiting for the kernel :D
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Aaaaand kernel is up. I'm going to try to deodex/root/debloat the ROM now. It will be my first time so I can't promise I can make it ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] JackoMJ:
you will try it with OTA-Kitchen ???

btw kernel and modem update work great - thanks
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Just finished the ROM. It is going to take a while since my upload speed sucks. Probably it will be ready in about one hour ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
I uploaded the ROM. Please let me know if everything is working - first timer here!

Have fun :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Gusta_HR:
Wtf r u talking about. Its a new f****in Stock Samsung build i8190XXAMJ3. When did you see only modem and kernel update???? Kernel and modem are ripped out of new rom build.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] JackoMJ:
hey little boy,

calm down, be friendly, use other words and don´t be so aggressive!

Posting that:

, there was only modem and kernel for download.

Look at the upload-date of the ROM.

When you are frustrated, aggressive or something else, go to the gym or in the wood and let your rage out there
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] SHIRI:
I agree, no need for that language.

Q:

Can you make this Odin flashable?? I dont have cwm or TWRP for now... :rolleyes:

TNX in advance!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
I'll look into it tomorrow :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] SHIRI:
Ok, i installed TWRP :victory:

You wrote "The installer will automatically wipe system/cache/dalvik partitions."

Does this mean it will wipe all user apps, passwords, settings ....???

If you could mention some things it will be wiped.

TNX a lot.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
None of your user data will be deleted ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] SHIRI:
Great! :highfive:

Can you just explain to me a little more what do I get with flashing modem and kernel? And should i flash them?

What those 2 affect?

:confused::eek:
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] SHIRI:
Oh man, I installed only rom for now, not kernel or baseband and it is bloody AWSOME, it is flying... I just installed talk and email app for my needs.

Thanks a lot man!

When you get the time plz explain what baseband and kernel affect....

:D

p.s. I even turned on animations that i always turn off and it is still fast as hell

:highfive: :p
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
The baseband has to do with your SIM card and network connection. Not sure if it will change anything, but I always update mine.

The kernel is like a interface that connects your hardware with your software. Again, I'm not sure if there's anything new on it, since it is made by Samsung. But if you flashed the ROM, you will have your kernel updated automatically :)

Glad you're enjoying. Soon I'll release Odin version. And maybe I'll create a ROM of my own with some modifications later :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] robindebruin:
How do you make ROM with cm source
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Odin package is up! I tested it and its working here. Took me a while to figure it out! :)

So, please test it out and report back if you are willing to.

I'm working on a modified version of AMJ3 with some props of mine. Maybe I'll post it on another topic once it's ready ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Gusta_HR:
Please link it separately dont mess-up this stock rom whitch is best solution for our device. Thx.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Of course I will :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] galaxy mini:
Nice to see!!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] :
New features?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] trabeast:
Nice! new modem was flashed smoothly. All is working Fine!! thanks!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] robindebruin:
Is this modem working for the netherlands?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] meduza:
The whole package ROM/kernel/modem is working great over here in central Europa :)

So definitely in the Netherlands too.

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] oldslowdiver:
Hi there, I wanted to test this kernel separately on my stock ROM 4.1.2, but, as I install it from CMW recovery, it goes with Status 6 abort message. Any hint? Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Maybe you got a bad download? Try to download it again, as it is working here
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] oldslowdiver:
I thought the same, and tested twice.. is it only me? The kernel zip file is to me 6,9mb (on Mega), but 7,2 mb once downloaded.. any tip?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Have you tried downloading it from the attachments instead of Mega?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Just figured it out. I forgot to update Mega's link when I fixed the installer. Fixed now! Sorry!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] oldslowdiver:
That's why! And, in the meanwhile, the attachment worked fine, thank you ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] steevensk:
Hi,

thanks for the ROM. Going to try it out tonight.

I am wondering if there are any changelogs available somewhere for the different firmwares? I have never seen something like that anywhere. I mean e.g. what's the difference between the AMJ3 and an older firmware e.g. AMG1

Thx

Hi,

I tried the Odin version, but got a "MD5 hash value is invalid" error.

Any idea?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
I fixed the Odin package, which wasn't working. Please try it out and report back ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] naydin36:
lock screen weather widget

There is a problem lock screen weather widget. Thank you.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
It was removed with the bloatware. You need to push AccuWeather's files to ystem/app to have it working. Yoou ca get those here: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?a=show&w=files&flid=9121
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] naydin36:
Thank you

Thank you. I will try.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] :
this is the best ROM at the moment for me. A little bit more debloated by me, modded some system apk´s, installed Fly-On Mod and my s3 mini is flying with best battery life ever had ;)

Thanks Joel :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] SHIRI:
I agree completely! :good:
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] meduza:
+1

There is unfortunately no bug free custom ROM for our devices. And no ROM with better battery life than this one. Sincet the custom kernel doesn't allow oc, it doesn't make much sence to use one too.

m.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] :
yepp and if you debloat the ROM a little more (like me from stock 425 MB to 339 MB) battery life would be more better (+greenify and Internet Commander).

Using Fly-On Mod and the device is really flying now ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] haroen88:
Can some one give mirror ? Thanks before :)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] SaschaCGN:
Mirror for what?

Modem?

Rom?

Odin package?

...?

I ask because my upload is very slow and i can't upload all the stuff.

But if i can help i do it. ;)

Btw all downloads from #1 are online atm.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] SHIRI:
Hey, which apk's I need to install to be able to choose any Live Wallpaper???

TNX in advance!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I found it, just pushed the app to system and it works like a charm, tnx anyway!
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] magicw:
none specific. Just go to playstore and search and install live wallpapers - then activate them via live wallpaper selection of your launcher.

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Guys, I have no idea why the md5 stops working. It works fine here, but after uploading and downloading it doesn't accept it anymore. Just remove the .md5 extension and it will flash just fine ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] samjam:
It means the downloaded file is not the same as the uploaded file. You should know what changed ( and who changed it) before telling folk to ignore it. This is WHY to use MD5 in the first place.
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] trabeast:
Hey sir can I ask for a link for the Fly-On Mod? thanks :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] trabeast:
Can anyone post a mirror other than mega ? its pretty slow :(

Exactly the same for me. I'll try the zip version
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
Remove the md5 from the end of the archive name. I don't know why but the md5s I do get broken after uploading. I already downloaded and used the file without the md5 and everything is OK

[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] chan1628:
I was able to flash the file in ODIN (w/o the *.md5 extension) successfully with a PASS.

However, I got a bootloop on the initial reboot... any advice?
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] joelalmeidaptg:
It's probably not a bootloop. It takes a long time to start after flashing it. Have you wiped data?

Enviado do meu Nexus 7 através de Tapatalk
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] chan1628:
actually, i stuck on the Splash screen... not the bootup logo screen

so instead of the usually bootloop where it just say "Samsung" and the circle animation goes round and round..

i'm stuck on the initial splash screen when you first power on that say "Samsung Galaxy i8190..."

it doesn't matter what i flash with ODIN, i'm stuck on the splash screen

i can only bootup to download mode and i'm on stock recovery (3e)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] galaxy mini:
If you stuck at bootloop after odin, boot in stock recovery and wipe data then reboot ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] chan1628:
already tried that several times... I've also tried ODIN flashing the PARAM file that i found

no matter what i've tried to do, i'm stuck on the splash screen :(
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] galaxy mini:
Then install with CWM or TWRP and dont forget to wipe ;)
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] 4everAnoob:
Please reupload Odin package There is obviously something wrong with it
[Galaxy S III Mini Android Development] Rom:
Good job but what is Android version ?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/171343071321?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Hey Everyone, I'm not really sure if selling stuff here on XDA is ok, unfortunately there is not a accessories section for the Gear so I listed this thread here, If this is not allowed, just delete the thread, no big deal.

But I'm about to throw these up on eBay and figured I'd give XDA the first go at em'.

These are custom designed and cut by me. The first day I got the Gear I probably put about a dozen scuffs in the stainless steel speaker clasp, I'm a graphic Designer so all day the clasp slides and bangs off my desk at work, and it killed me to think after just a few days my watch is going to look old and used. Well knowing I was going to exchange my watch for a new one (battery problem) I figured with a fresh watch I want to keep it looking brand new.

So with the OCD I have about my tech devices, I spent a few hours developing these Speaker Protectors, and they work amazing! They are made from the highest quality vinyl available, very durable, self adhesive backing, custom cut specifically for the speaker on the Galaxy Gear SmartWatch and extremely easy to apply!

I put my first one on about 3 weeks ago, still in perfect shape and still holding strong. Underneath my speaker clasp is perfect, and will stay that way!

The vinyl is a chrome color (can do other colors as well. IE Dark Green, Purple, Gray with more options if these catch on) Which blends perfect color-wise (Vinyl is more of a matte. See Pictures Below).

These are a must for any Gear owner who want to keep their speaker clasp from dings, scratches and scuffs.

I also designed custom fitted screen protectors, once applied you cant tell its even there. I'm not sure what kind of glass the Gear has on it, and if it can be scratched or not, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I'm selling the speaker protectors 5 for $5 USD Shipped (Around $8 USD on eBay). Plus 5 screen protectors. You really shouldn't need more than 1 of either for the life of your Gear. But this ensures you ensures you always have protection for the sensitive parts of your Galaxy Gear.

If you would like to pick some up, and support further development on device accessories from me. PM and I'll give you my info.

Again hopefully I'm not breaking a rule here by posting this, I am an active member of XDA and figured I'd give people a chance to pick something up for their Gear here first before its on eBay.​
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] NZ_Nitro:
I think this is a great idea, mines already scratched
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] firasusman:
So..

How i place the order.?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] gingerdude:
Do you post to the UK? Like the idea , hope it goes very well for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] charge1:
I'd like some different color bands. Maybe a "coverband"...lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Jeshter2000:
Hit me up I want some aswell.... How to order?
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dmac1984:
Thanks man, I made this out of necessity one day just to have for myself because the scratches on my clasp killed me. I looked online to see if this had been done, and found nothing, so I did a few designs and finally got it perfect.

Then figured I'd throw it out to the public, lol I can't be only person with device OCD.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dmac1984:
Just PM me here on XDA and I'll let you know how to pick some up.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] kosmos55:
you're not supposed to advertise but feel free to show off what you designed as long as you're not trying to sell
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dmac1984:
Thanks! And sure I'll send outside the U.S.

International orders will just be a few more bucks for shipping.
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dmac1984:
Lol me too!
[Samsung Galaxy Gear] Dmac1984:
Awesome, shoot me a PM and I'll let you know how to order. Just simple PayPal transaction stuff.
