And its not the 0 folder I've checked it and the device with es3 file manager
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Da Kine:
It should be on the root of the internal storage. To prevent this, stick to one version of the os. No one is going to give you their backup/nandroid. Go through the development section, there's a few 4.1.2 stock Roms with root.

It would be under the /0 if op made the backup after flashing and booting up the ROM.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tamalepirates:
What do you mean stick to one version of os. Does anyone have a backup without logging in to a gmail account. So its completely stock
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
In my past experience with cwm wiping data always wiped the internal storage.. So one way to prevent it from happening is to make backups to the external sdcard instead of internal.. I don't know how it works now because I've been using twrp for a while now.. And there is stock ROMs in the development section, you can just download one and flash it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tamalepirates:
Okay I have it some what fixed I found my backups in the ROM manager app. But can't find them through a file manager app. But my back up is in my phone some where but only accessible from ROM manager.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Normally rom backup is secured and will not be wiped

You can download es file explorer and give root permission

Go to /device,- mnt folder - shell folder - you will find cwm folder and in that backup folder containing your all backup

Try it
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tamalepirates:
How do I allow es3 root permission. I have es3 I've went to mnt/shell/ but shell is empty

Ok I have been searching but it seems like either my keywords are wrong or just my phone. Anyway it seems like once I unlocked my bootloader, I could no longer use "ok google" on the Google launcher anymore. And I noticed that the mic image changed from the original image to the one with hollow center mic image once I unlocked. I don't know if anyone experienced this? Please share, and if yes, how to get this function back? It's not an important function of course but It's fun to use.. :D

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] austreaker:
hi all,

i really want to move from note 3 to pantech secret note mainly due to the higher screen estate at fhd 5.9". However i love my note 3 multimedia dock which i hook up to a 27" via hdmi, mouse and keyboard i virtually have a full pc.

hence does the pantech secret note support the samsung multimedia dock or does pantech release a similar dock???

also hopefully pantech release this beast internationally
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] haza12d:
I'm not sure. If there is a forum for the Pantech, you might want to ask there.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] oscarthegrouch:
Pantech isn't a very popular brand name. I am guessing that its lack of popularity will affect its support and mods.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
This was true a few years back, but now the brand is gain popularity under the vega name with good smartphones in the korean market like vega 6, 850, 860 and 870 etc.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rlee008:
so you want to get another phone with exactly the same specs as the Note 3 because its slightly bigger (.25 inches bigger), from a company that is not as developed as Samsung. the screen is minimally bigger and that just means that the pixiel density is less... its still a 1080p screen as the Note 3. i wouldn't even consider it. coming from a Note 2, the Note 3 is an upgrade cause of the ram size, extra storage (32gb) and the 1080p screen but from the Note 3 to the Pantech, its no upgrade at all.

think about it carefully before you jump ship. i had a Note 2, and the Note 3 is no upgrade in terms of screen size, but its as upgrade because of specs...

and as you said, you love the accessories available to the Note 3, you're going to give those up for. 25" bigger screen size? its actually less than .25", its closer to .20" screen size. both devices side by side you wouldn't even notice the screen size difference...

Samsung sold 5 million Note 3s in about a month... how many did Pantech sell?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] austreaker:
Not much info on this beast even on their site (US), in Korea try pantech.co.kr

It is basically a Galaxy Note 3 spec with 5.9FHD screen and a finger scanner is the difference I think
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] austreaker:
True it is not much of an upgrade but I think of it as the note2 5.5" to pantech 5.9".

I can predict the next iteration of Note 4 will have a 5.9" screen so I figure I might as well jump on the bandwagon now with the Pantech.

Accessories are a problem with Pantech amongst other things as well such as releasing it internationally

Still the Note 3 is the top end mobile phone but I feel there is not much change between my note 2 and note 3. By change I mean the way i use the phone which is mainly surfing the net, email and video about 70% and 30% for phone/sms activities. I blame this entirely on the software side though since the hardware is top spec. I constantly toggle between dolphin, firefox and maxthon to get a desktop like browser but it is still lagging behind in term of supporting flash properly and running multiple tab simultaneously. Multi-windows is cumbersome at this stage and firefox don't allow it either.

Oh well, I need my Google Glass asap
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] rlee008:
true, but you're saying you want to go from a Note 3 to the Pantech (note 2 is comparison is irrelevant), and the note 4 might have a 5.9" screen but it'll be pushing quad core 3.0ghz.or even an octo-core 2.something ghz... and might even be pushing higher resolution as 4K is the new standard. it'll always be the next best thing. im not trying to change your mind, im just giving you a different perspective. either way good luck on the swap, might be perfect for you or we might continue to see you lurking around here ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] kms108:
So you are actually saying that a company has to sell around 5 million of a single model to be classified as a well know or a popular brand, then I don't really see any company in the world know to be known popular brand.

Jumping from Samsung to Pantech does not necessary mean a down grade either, people have there choices. I have a note 2, this does not mean I have to buy a note 3, as long as it's a new model that fits for my needs or that I like, that's what really matters, and Pantech does offer many good phones, especially the vega iron that really interest me.

Pantech may not be a brand know worldwide to everyone, but they are very big in korea, and does have a small share of the smartphone market , especially the asian market.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] mcruzph:
yes it is true.. i live in korea and ive used a lot of different models of sky (vega), samsung, and lg. and i can assure you pantech's phones can be comparable to those big names like samsung, i personally prefer pantech's phone over samsung cause its cheaper but the specs, performance and durability is almost the same.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] afridiim:
I dont know ho many of us knows that Samsung own 40% of Pantech. Samsung is also directly reponsible for Marketing Pantech phones.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] asianflavor:
Samsung only bought 10% of Pantech. Here's the article. They were in trouble with debt and needed help to get a grasp of their finances.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] TiTAN-O-One:
I love cheap and big spec-ed phones exactly like the Pantech but sadly, they dont have any developers to make ROMs. I'm thinkin' of buying the Pantech Vega NO6 FYI.

ok im having issues with blu kuban gb27 created by one of the greats rujelus22. i downloaded it from the mirror on the original development thread rujelus started on this rom. it downloads what it says is all of the rom 375mb is the listed file size. so i went from there i flashed el26 safe kernel wiped everything then flashed the jb wipe all x2 formated my internal sd, flashed my jb modem, flashed the rom, and rebooted it loads up but i cant access the kuban updater it says something went wrong try again. it also will not allow me to update prl or profile. i tried for several hours to get it to work i went back to recovery and wiped cache and dalvik again like i have had to do before after flashin in a new rom. still it did not work. i havent given up yet lol.

any ideas where i went wrong?

note: i would have asked what the problem was on the original post by rujelus22 for the rom but as we all know im not allowed to post on development threads yet lol. thanks
[General Questions and Answers] nickSomeNeedHelp:
I still havent gave up on the blu kuban gb27. I even messaged rujelus and got no reply. Im sure hes busy enough workimg on the wonderful roms he has made for all of us here on xda.

I am currently on SlimROM 2.2 and I've been on Slim since beta 2. I absolutely love SlimROM but I really want to try 4.4. Should I wait till next week when SlimKAT beta releases or should I try out one of the already available 4.4 ROMs? Which 4.4 ROM do you like best and why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
KitKang, [MENTION=2963287]mastamoon[/MENTION]'s builds, [MENTION=5097592]sspencer10[/MENTION]'s builds. All are great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Hopefully this thread doesn't get shut down. I like the objective discussions on roms. Helps make decisions.

Anyways, I've tried all but the new gummy rom, and I've had the best luck with mastamoon's. Hit 5 hours of screen on time (probably 15 total on the charge). All the 4.4 roms are pretty smooth, to be honest. They do have the typical aosp issues of wonky camera's/galleries and signal issues in low signal areas. Also a bit different navigating to the SD card. I'm back on tw right now for stability, but will probably get my flashing fix again in a week or so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Threads like these are always shut down as this is a development site meant for those who are making the ROMs ,apps and mods. The community helps with getting these things to work and with solving problems you may have with the ROMs, apps and mods. I am sure one of the moderators will mention something similar before closing it down. I personally wouldn't mind helping but I have read these types of threads and they usually lead to unnecessary debates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Yeah this is gonna turn into an argument about roms. I would say try Slim Kat beta since ur on Slim already. Otherwise I would go with Invisiblek's builds or my current Paranoid Android 4.0
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kude87:
Definitely agree with you both. These usually turn into fan boy brawls, although I wish they didn't. It's nice to simply hear someone else's experience with a rom. However, even that has to be taken with a grain of salt because of user error, different phone, bad downloads, etc. So many variables. I just don't like it when someone says "just try it" when simple friendly Q & A in a forum may help someone make a decision that ultimately benefits them. I read a crap ton of each thread before I go asking noob questions, but sometimes it's nice to defer to someone who's been running that rom for a while to answer, especially if you haven't been. Many times the op instructions are outdated and people say "what you want is 10 pages back, read it why don't you." I have no problem with someone asking nicely looking to gain knowledge about any of this stuff on the site. To expect someone to read everything is a bit ridiculous. That's why these discussions, if handled correctly, are nice. Just my two cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Naddict:
All the above, and the fact that XDA is not really a support site. Users need to try them all to make this determination on their own.

There seems to be lots of free and open source text to speach code out there: http://sig.levillage.org/?p=551

So, wouldnt it be cool to have your universal say 'Incoming call from <contact name>' instead of your usual ring tone? It gets right around the problem of having to open up the screen to see who is calling. :D

It would also be a great gimick for people with other phones too. Talking ring tones havent even been done by Nokia yet. 8)

There is the Fonix range which can read your email, but I don't know whether it'd be able to read your SMSes too.

Not to be a stick-in-the-mud, but why would you want SMS-to-Speech?

"Dot Dot Dot Forwardslash dot dot dot Open Bracket dot dot dot", and that's just the first line of one of those cutesy smsses. Or the ones where each letter is converted into it's visual brother, but with umlauts and all the other diacritical marks (accents, breves, circumflexes, spiritus and hooks)? To the english speaking person, the letter "ß" looks like a funky "B", but in germanic, it's an 's" sound.

And "Ur th bst 1 n da wrld" (not a good example, but you get the idea) does not translate well if not heavily interpreted first.

It'd be a "neato" feature, which you'd uninstall after a day's usage.

Can Microsoft Voice Command read up a contacts name and tell me that?

.. Microsoft Voice Command is it worth buying?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RyanZA:
Messed around with MS voice command a bit.. havent been using it much before because I dont need the features much over the built in thing. I tried turning on the announce incoming phone calls option, but its really soft. (Far too soft to hear). The normal ring tone plays for a second, then goes soft and I assume the voice command is trying to speak after that, but its too soft to hear, even with the phone next to my ear.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] seal:
I agree, I love the Voice command function that tells you who's calling but yes it is way to quiet so I usually turn it off, it needs to be load and not trying to swap between the ringtone and voice command telling you the person who's calling. So yes a specific program to do this as a ring tone would be great.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Interesting thread. This is a great idea, but I have to say, MSVC does the job so well, it's probably not worth expanding beyond there. However, I'm looking into a general text to speech solution for PPC.

Our best bet is flite, which is a relatively large install and doesn't sound very good.

However, an easy way for you to start thinking about this is to check out the app WordBook. I think it installs a version of the Flite dll. You can copy text and get it to speak it straight back to you. The speech is quite poor quality, but it gives you an idea. Now I imagine you can access this externally, and so you can intercept SMS, calls etc and get it text to speeched.

However, since MSVC is installed in traditional SAPI form, it should also be externally accessible.

Voice Command

I have just tried the demo of Voice Command on universal, but i couldnt get button on bluetooth headset to activate it. Also it would be nice if the caller name being read out would be good over the bluetooth headset.

Can and of the genius's on this site create such a programe. Or anyone know of any other programmes.

Using the phone in clam mode means you dont know whos calling, and as i use my bluetooth headset all the time, it would be nice to know whos calling.

Thanks in advance

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RyanZA:
I dont know about that. Have you tried using the announce incoming calls option? On my universal, no matter what settings I try, its simply impossible to hear what VC is saying while the phone is ringing. So for me, VC definately doesnt seem to be doing the job very well at all. :(

Has anybody been able to get VC to properly announce the caller ID?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] seal:
No VC is to quiet, so useless
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Aaah, ok, I don't use my universal as a phone, and just remember it from the Magician, when it would announce calls. I think there's a thread around trying to resolve this issue though.

V
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] snorbaard:
Voice Command has a known problem of being extremely quiet on the Universal.

Somewhere on this site there is a fix CAB file that ostensibly makes the volume higher. I hadn't found a major difference, but look for it and try.

The announce works best if you turn the ringtone off and use annouce only (make sure your normal volume - not ringing volume - is turned way up)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RyanZA:
No good, its still very soft. Having the volume on full is also quite a hindrance, since you have to keep turning it up and down all the time. As they said back in November, we'r going to have to wait on an update to make voice command properly compatible with WM5. There doesnt seem to be any move by Microsoft to actually do this, though.

Strange that nobody has really used voice caller ID on the Universal before - it seems the obvious choice for a ring tone to me on a phone like this.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:

Hi.

I only have Voice Commander. Is it different from MSVC? I keep looking for the announce incoming calls but couldnt find it. Voice Commander has been in my phone when I bought it so I just use what's available but it gives me so much headache. When I say "Call John", it gives me several names that dont even sound close to John. Grrr! I even put tags on the names individually but my VC is so deaf! :P Is it because of my bluetooth headset, VC or is it the phone's fault? :(

->>>

aside from microsoft voice command; what i use is mortring...i'm sure you guys are familiar with this app...it allows you to assign ringtones and sms sounds to individuals in your contacts. using the xda's microphone, i made my own ringtones by recording either my voice or someone else's. example; i deal with a lot of raw material suppliers and i get calls all the time. when this guy working for a foundry calls me up; the sound i recorded goes "mr. johnson is calling". for others whom i've developed good relationships with, i asked if i could record their voice and use it as a ringtone....so if my supplier from an aluminum die caster calls my xda goes "hi robson, this is ch lim". sms' are easy since you can do the same and assign them for that particular contact. when i receive and sms, my xda goes "text message from ____". for the people who call me that are not in my contacts list; the default ringtone i've set sounds off. this is very convenient for me when i'm driving or the like, no need to look at the phone and simply activate the bluetooth headset.

you don't really have to go and search the net for ringtones all the time; you can use the xda's recorder to actually make them. the format output is in .wav file. for text to speech for sms, i agree that would be a very interesting feature...flite is a good app...perhaps vijay can link up something for sms? but then that would probably violate the license thingee for flite...

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] RyanZA:
Yeah that is how I do it right now, but its a bit of a hassle - hence this thread. It would be far easier to just have the universal generate the messages automatically..

It is possible, just would need someone to code it.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Artosoft:
Sure you can record and create your own .wav file for every record on your phone. But imagine the troublesome if you have 1.000+ contact. Not to mention the total .wav file size. Text to Speech is the solution.

Imagine your phone read sms for you:

"Incoming SMS from David, message: I'll be late for the afternoon meeting, please continue without me.".
