[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mcgrabowski:
I'm currently running AOSPA 4.4.4. I've tried out a variety of different AOSP Kit Kat ROMs and in my experience they all generally run rather well. Very smooth and fast. The majority of things tend to work rather well. But I almost always, after a short while (few weeks typically), wind up going back to a T-Mobile TW based official ROM like Dandroid or root66. I just always seem to have something that doesn't seem to work quite right with the S3 using an AOSP ROM. Often it's little audio quirks or camera issues. Those little issues coupled with the loss of Wi-Fi calling generally keeps me from sticking with an AOSP ROM for more than a few weeks or so, as much as I love having the latest and greatest and the endless customization, it just gets too frustrating when things don't want to work quite right.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
I see. I'm thinking of root66ing my S3. And I want to install a kitkat custom rom but without any issues. Can you recommend a good kitkat custom rom for it with no issues at all?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mcgrabowski:
There's so many. And like I said they all work really well, just not flawlessly all the time. I tend to like AOSPA (paranoid android) quite a bit. But CM and AOKP are great too. I've tested out carbon ROM briefly. That was nice too. Like everyone else always says, you just need to read up on each ones features and looks and test some out to see what you like. If recommend trying out multiboot if you want to test out a bunch on different AOSP ROMs without having to mess with your main daily driver at all. Works rather well for testing out tons of new ROMs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
Go for a touchwiz port, that would be the most stable and with least issues if any.. Just remember that you will lose WiFi calling

And I was right.. ?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] yahanna:
Hey thanks for the advice.

I see. Can you recommend some good TW based Kitkat roms? I'd apreciate it and thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Jay Rock:
I'm starting to agree.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] revwillie:
Big deal. I would not be at all surprised if a clever dev found a way to piece together KK framework bits from another phone with T999 bits from another carrier in the next few weeks and a TW-based 4.4 ROM with wifi calling results. Enewmann is either brushing off an ETA request or he's on top of it already
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] masondoctorjt:
Not sure why we would be the only ones in north America not to get it. But I guess it's possible. But don't forget, it took over a month for the t999l to get 4.3 after the regular t999 got it, so there is no reason to write the update off yet!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ive been told by someone who works for Samsung that they had seen the T999 and its variants being tested with kk and that it was released to T-Mobile some time ago. No one knows why they are delaying its release though. If there were problems with final testing of the RC by TMobile employees it would've been sent back to Sammy to be fixed. This final testing generally takes about 2 weeks so they've had plenty of time for it.

Everyone knows its awfully late and no one knows why. All we can do is wait. And tbh, I just dont see why anyone really cares. We have a fully functional and very stable kk touchwiz port already and if WiFi calling is your main issue, 4.3 builds are more than adequate for this device.

Just try to enjoy what we have rather than getting worked up over what we dont. In the end, I still believe it will eventually be released. Otherwise it would be a lot of wasted time and effort for nothing but upset customers.

Hi!

Can anybody help me to get or make a kernel which supports CIFS? I've searched through the forum but all kernels for ICS DHD ROM's which I've tried was without CIFS. For now I'm using ViperDHD 2.3.0(ROM) + PachaRX-VS4 2.9(Kernel). Is there any possibility to rebuild PachaRX-VS4 2.9 from sources and enable CIFS support?

Thanks!

I have a Wizard (Cingular 8125) and use SPB Backup, but I want to back up the Storage Card to my desktop. I'd also like to back up the Wizard on my desktop.

I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out. Is this possible? I have Total Commander which I can use to copy it over, but that doesn't let me do it either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Pasci:
May you should try a different software for backups.. My favourite is Sprite BackUp (http://www.spritesoftware.com/)..

Another possibility to backup your SD-Card is to use a cardreader..

Have you tried to copy your SD-Card using the explorer?
[Nexus 5 General] HazyPreston93:
So I know I'm very low profile around here, I've never really posted much, sorry for that, I just though people might be interested in this beautiful mod me and my co-worker did to my Nexus 5 to make my speaker volume louder. First I need to say a huge thank you to AdamOutler , you can see full instructions to do this modification (minus the extra touch) over at his thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2529878and also a big thanks to my co-worker and good friend Jake! Now anyways, on to the pictures!

So in the first picture is the hole mod in the speaker, then in the second and third shots you can see the little speaker hole with mesh made for the back cover to let even more sound out of the device, it's nothing special but I'm super pleased with the way it turned out, my volume is much louder now and it looks simple and clean. Again a huge thanks to Jake for the help and idea and AdamOutler for the original mod, go shoot this guy a quick thanks. !
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
I do love your ingenuity but I can never do this to my phone. I don't want to destroy the stock look.

[Nexus 5 General] HazyPreston93:
Well thank you aha, I wasn't sure about the hold myself but I'm pretty happy with it so far. :]

Thanks for your feedback.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
You're welcome and thanks for sharing this with us. I'm sure there will be others brave enough to do this mod. The plus side is that you now have true surround sound. It'll be cool if phone manufacturers do this.

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 General] HazyPreston93:
Yeah it would be pretty cool, the only problem is that my sound is a little tinny, not much just a little, but its fine I only did this so I could actually hear the damn thing ring when its in my pocket haha.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
I'm confused now. You're saying that the sound didn't improve significantly? It was a marginal improvement?

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 General] HazyPreston93:
The speaker got louder, but the sound quality is a little tinny.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
I kind of think I understand. Are you saying that the sound was muffled before and now its less muffled/not muffed anymore because of the mod?

Does the sound, sound distorted at high volume?

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 General] HazyPreston93:
Sorry yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say haha.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
There is some sort of mod or app that you can use once rooted to increase the decibels. I can't vouch for how good sound quality will be once increased since I'm not rooted but you can always test it out.

sent from my neXus 5
[Nexus 5 General] gee2012:
Yes, look here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2532788. You can either flash a zip or change the value manualy in Root Explorer. It improves the sound volume for sure, i`am using it myself.
[Nexus 5 General] Tenhi:
And many custom kernels have this option to increase volume output (like faux or Franco). Pretty useful imo...
[Nexus 5 General] HazyPreston93:
That's alright, I don't really use my phone speaker for anything besides my ringtones honestly.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:
First off my device is unlocked and rooted but that is it and I did that weeks and weeks ago when the latest android patch came out.

It has been working fine but I had a sleep over with the kids last weekend and they like to play with it as usual. After they left, hours later I noticed the device showing the google start screen like it was stuck there. I tried to get it into the boot loader or recovery and nothing. Now it appears dead, no lights, etc.

I tried charging and tried using the volume and power thing, etc to no avail. When connected to the pc I am gettng the dreaded QHSUSB_Dload thing.

#First question is there a fix for this? I have searched every where and have yet to find anything substancial other than the volume thing which is not working.

# second question is can I rma this or will it not be accepted due to it being rooted? There is no way I can bring it back to stock without accessing the bootloader.

#last question - If I cannot rms it can I take it apart and do something to repair it or is there anything I can do?

Thanks guys. This really sucks. i have never had an issue up until now and this thing is totally stock besides being rooted and unlocked.

Pretty unbelievable as I'm all stock except for recovery.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buddahj:
I'd try to send it back for repair. What do you have to lose?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:
What I have to lose is money. If I RMA it is possible for Google to keep the payment and I'm not about to buy another unit because one fails through nothing I did.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buddahj:
I understand that, but right now you have a $200 paper weight. So why not gamble on the s/h for the rma?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:
I think you are misunderstanding what I am saying.

Google basically makes you pay for a replacement. Upon inspection they refund the money. If they do not refund the money then I am out the full cost.

I could find that reasonable if I was playing around or something but I have kept my devices all stock ever since the latest version came out except for unlocking and rooting.

I guess the other option would be to find someone to do a jtag repair and I could only find one guy and I don't think he touches Nexus 7s. Not sure though but waiting for him to reply. This sucks! My device was perfect and I loved it.Great battery, no touch screen issues. Not a single issue and then all of a sudden this. i really cannot understand what caused it.

Thanks for the reply. I really figured there would be others this happened too but everyone gets Hard Brick mixed up with soft brick and every hard brick post I read is not a hard brick. Hard Brick = F#cked :crying:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] buddahj:
I gotcha. I thought you paid to send it back & then you had the option to pay to fix it if it wasn't covered by warranty.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:
That could be through Asus directly but not sure.

I think though if they go to repair it they will see the unlocked boot loader. That voids the warranty
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] dkryder:
If it was mine I would take the back cover off and unplug the battery and let it sit for ~5 min. If there is a physical reset plug then push that in a couple times.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TheAltruistic:
Yeah, if you know an RMA is a very very very poor shot / don't want to try it. I guess a tear down is your second best bet.

You should check out Adam Outler's tear down videos if you feel you might be able to take this on. I'll link Outler's videos below. They MAY help you in deciding if you want to go through with it (and what you may expect to see).

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:
Thanks guys.

I finally got an email back from those guys that do Jtag repairs and he said it was a hardware issue but I am not sure if he understood my issue.

I do not think taking it apart and unplugging the battery will work here if the bootloader is corrupt. I am going to try to let the battery go completely dead though and then try to do the volume/power key thing to see if there is any chance.

I do not know much about this but what I read is that if the bootloader is stopped somehow while loading it can become corrupt in some cases and you cannot do anything without it and there is a device specific key involved. That is why only someone with some specific software can fix it. I thought this key as called Jtag but again, I do not know much about this. The Jtag guy said it was hardware.

Man, I have an Hp touchpad that I got years ago. I installed Android on it years ago and have it overclocked it to over 1700mhz and that thing is still going strong. The kids even dropped it and it has a crack in the screen and it still will not die. Here I have a Nexus only a few months old fully stock except for root and unlock and it is dead. Kills me especially after the way I always stand up for the Nexus line. Still loving my Nexus 4 though and it is well over a year old. Oh well, if that one goes like this one I am jumping off a high bridge. :laugh:
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] whoamanwtf:
I am confused as to why you are so sure what is wrong with it, how do you know the bootloader is corrupt if you claim no wrong doing. Also technically speaking you did do something to begin with, you knew full well that you would be voiding the warranty by rooting and installing a custom recovery. More than likely if kids messing with it actually did end up with it how it is now they probably accepted an OTA and it corrupted the boot, on the LG G2 they have figured out how to delete the FOTA information that it continuously tries to boot from and return normal boot sequence.

But I reiterate you cannot blame this on anyone but yourself right now, being angry with ASUS or the kids will do you no good. You knowingly voided your warranty now it is time to put your nose down and see if you can fix it, there are a lot of resources here to do such.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:
First off, I am not sure what is wrong with it which is why I am posting here. I stated numerous times that I do not know much about this.

And yes, I know this that rooting and unlocking voids the warranty. I also know that it is my fault for doing it but I have been doing it for around 3 years now and have used various roms and kernals in the paqs and have never had an issue. Perhaps it is a hardware issue. I just do not think this issue was caused by me.

In terms of the kids playing with the device. They play games, things like that. The desktop is locked and they have no access to settings or anything. When I said messing with it I just meant playing games though sometimes they open new games and leave the old ones running. I do not know how that would cause this.

There was no ota or update.

I am not sure what you are saying about LG.

And again, I am not angry with Google or Asus. My point was that this issue was most likely not caused due to rooting or unlocking and an ota would not cause a dhsusb issue even if it did go bad.Lets try to remember that nearly everyone here roots, unlockes and installs roms, etc. I have done so as well but not on this device. This one I wanted to keep pretty much vanilla but I wanted to be able to use Titanium back up, etc. And also, I rooted and unlocked months ago when I first got the device and had to root again when the latest version came out which was awhile ago.

In terms of fixing I have not found a solution for this. I do not know if it is a hardware issue or a software issue. That is why I am posting here. I am looking for some information from people who know this stuff. I know nothing but what I have read and so far I have read many different things. I am here to learn.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] whoamanwtf:
OK so here is what I meant with the G2..

I had a stock/rooted/TWRP G2 and half asleep accepted an OTA Update, when it does this it downloads the update into a partition that the device checks before booting. Because I had the custom recovery obviously the update failed but it left that code in the boot partition that would now allow me to even get into download mode. See this post here for how it was fixed http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2582142

I am not sure if this would be the same problem or how to go about fixing it because of the device difference, but maybe it could help? I didn't mean to come off as a ****, just far too many people like to get into their devices and void the warranty then blame everyone else.

It is really not difficult to pull the back cover off and unplug the battery, I suggest doing this it could very well help just be careful not to crack the back while pulling it off, a credit card/ID and a butter knife should do the trick without leaving marks.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Richieboy67:

[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skylr616:
I have tried Hashcode's CM 10.2 and 11 but both seem to have the same problem with very low audio levels out of the built-in speakers. It seems that at 100% I'm only getting about 1/2 - 3/4 the volume I experienced with the stock Amazon ROM when using apps like Netflix, Youtube, HBO Go, etc.

On top of that issue I've also found that none of the volume boosting apps on the Market, which worked perfectly with the stock Amazon ROM, work with Hashcode's CM builds. I've found some threads for modding CM files to boost audio but those files don't seem to exist in these Kindle builds.

Does anyone have any ideas on how I might boost my audio volume? Thank you in advance for any help you may offer!
