[Samsung Galaxy Mega] rizky123:
Like you,i still stay on old firmware,new firmware have knox,knox make your phone brick if you root.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
Agreed. You guys have convinced me that I should be flashing an old version of Samsung, not the latest with KNOX. But I can only do that if I can find one! Can anyone please point me in the right direction?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Hmmm, you are right... In such case i recommend you to install custom ROM MegaFireMJ2V6 made by megalomanic14 on basis stock MJ2 which you can find HERE.

Actually I am using this ROM and can say it is very good - looks like stock but is much faster. It's rooted already. Version X offer firmware stripped from unneeded apps to the extent.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
Thank you very much. Most of that sentences was Greek to me, but I get the idea! The truth is, I put my foot into the water of flashing custom ROMS, and decided it wasn't for me. I just want one, reliable ROM that I can live with for many months without having to change it. That's why I decided to go back to Samsung, because there were too many bugs in Cyanogenmod and I don't want to start testing one ROM after the next. I just want to install a reliable, bug-free ROM now, and have done with it. So you think that MegaFireMJ2V6 would be such a ROM in my case?

PS:

It seems MegaFireMJ2V6 can't be downloaded from that link anyway? :(
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Type your phone model in the link below and choose the one you want. Create a free account if you need faster download speeds.

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
Thank you, but I've tried this several times, and the only download available is the most recent.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
You are wrong. It shows all the firmwares released for a model. I can see all the releases for GT-I9200. Attached is a screenshot of the older firmware without knox....
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
As far as I understand it, these are all the same ROM, simply different versions for different countries. When I put in my phone, GT-i9250, I am presented with a similar page, but it's only the one ROM; 4.2.2 with KNOX.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Silesh.Nair:
Ok man, I am done trying to explain things to you. The list you showed only displays Knox firmware, but what you said is not true. Here is another site with older firmware displayed for the I9205. There is no I9250 model Mega afaik..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
I apologise if I have offended you in any way, that certainly wasn't my intention. I'm simply new to all of this and don't understand it well. I appreciate the new link, and thank you for your help.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] trurl3:
Wouldn't it be bad to explain how you achiewe older firmwares on Sammobile? Instead you are presented another site... If you are not enough patient to explain things to the end please do not start...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] AidanBell:
To update, for anyone following this thread: I've successfully flashed MegaFire. It's too early to tell the long run, of course, but so far it seems stable and happy - as am I! Many thanks for all the helpful comments. Cheers. :)
[LG Optimus 3D] silvagomes:
Hi everyone.

First of all thanks to all the devs for the work on our p920 ( i would have probably thrown it away if it wasn´t for this forum )

I was on 4.0.4 official with v30a, rooted the phone and i have wparks bootloaders. Here are my problems :

1, tried vanilla rootbox and baked blackbean - thanks Colanderbrain and KidKoala - Loved both roms, problem is every couple of days my phone stops receiving/sending calls and messages, everything else works fine. I have to reboot and all starts working again, untils it fails...i edited the values in 16 to 15 and 17 to 9 to make both of them work ( i am now using pac-man rom 22.3 - thanks bernie - and don't have to edit anything to make it work ? ). Does anyone have the same problem with these roms ? How can i fix this ?

2. tried also Miui v5 - thanks OptimusRs - love the rom, but it doesn't recognize my sim card ( tried reboot, fresh install, etc and the problem persists.)

Thanks in advance for any help

( i'm sorry but i am not able to post in the developers forum )
[LG Optimus 3D] silvagomes:
Nevermind the MIUI problem. It's solved. Can anyone help me with the other problem ?

I think i'll try out another rom before doing this. Like i said i'm a newbie, and i think this is a bit too much for me to handle for now. When i get a little more experience i'll try it out ( i really need the phone so i don't want to risk bricking it ) .

But thanks anyway for your time.

Hello to all!

What I wonder is now a thing of vital importance! : D

I really like the Roma often change, because it is really nice to try them all.

But the biggest problem is the reset every time the app and especially data relating to them. Does anyone know how can I do? The app, using ROM toolbox, etc. Titanium will reset the time. While the data ever.

I have no idea wat u are saying but I supposed u meant u love flashing roms, but titanium does not back up the entire data? There's no way to help it though.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaybe1:
Hi all a friend dropped her Galaxy Note 10.1 into me yesterday to see if I could help retrieve her password. I tried entering the password wrong so many times to see if forgot password comes up but nothing. She obviously skipped registering with google. She has photos on it that she wants off it. I told her she would lose everything if I reset it and it might be her only option. Can I root it or install Cwm on it or some custom recovery to bypass the password or does it need USB debugging to be turned on which I very much doubt is turned on unless she hit it by mistake !! I came across these methods maybe method 3 might work ? Not sure.

Method 3 (new):

It’s a quite simple method than the other two. By using this method you can crack / unlock both, pattern lock as well as pin / password lock. But before you use this method, your device must have a custom recovery like CWM installed on it. Note that you may also require to root your device just in case if it doesn’t work by having CWM only (it’s a far rare case though). It should work with CWM Recovery alone.

So, lets get started: firstly download a Lockscreen bypass file from the link given below:

Pattern / Password Bypass for Android

Copy the downloaded zip file on your device’s internal / external memory by any means.

Now, boot into recovery mode on your phone / tab. Note that, each device has a different method (key combinations) to get into recovery mode. If you don’t know how to boot into recovery, you can Google it or ask us in comments below (include your device model along with the comment).

After getting into recovery, select install zip from sdcard followed by choose zip from sdcard. Navigate to the file you’ve just transferred on your phone. Hit Power button to select the file and confirm the installation by selecting ‘Yes – Install LockScreen_Security_bypass.zip’.

As soon as installation gets completed, select ‘reboot system now’ to restart the phone.

Once the phone gets rebooted, you’ll see that the pattern / password lock is still there. But don’t panic, just enter any pattern / password and it will get unlocked by itself.

Thanks to XDA Recognized Contributor dr.ketan for this awesome script. You can find his original thread here.

That’s it! You’ve successfully unlocked / cracked the pattern lock of your Android device. Do let us know if you face any difficulty while unlocking the pattern lock. We’ll be more than happy to help you out.

There isn't any single-speaker phone out there currently that isn't mono, AFAIK, so I'm not sure what you were expecting.

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragnan:
In your phone, your speakers are max 12cm from eachother. In order to perceive the true stereo effect, your ears should be like 12 cm away from the phone. Additionally, sound quality from speakers of this size can never be anything better than incredibly bad, so honestly: why bother?

You want stereo? Use a headset. You want stereo and quality? Use a decent headset.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awmlewis:
Hey guys, first time poster long time lurker here, so hope I'm doing everything right!

So I dropped my beloved Z1 last night, and unfortunately the screen cracked from top to bottom. Its insured so i will be sending it off, but I'm worried that instead of getting repaired its going to be replaced. I want to create a complete backup so if i do get a new phone i can just load all my data on to it and have it running like my old phone.

Usually id use the sony transfer tool for it, but the touch screen has become non responsive and thus i cannot unlock the phone to download the app from the play store. My phone is running stock android and isn't rooted so is there a way to do a complete backup of the phone? Luckily most of the data is on my SD card which I've taken out, but there are still some photos/videos on the actual phone itself which id like to get back, and a couple of unread messages that id also like to see if possible.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Thanks !

If my memory serves me right, when I had my Blue Angel and wanted to manually connect to GPRS, I could click in the "G" icon in my title bar and I would get the option to connect to the GPRS setting that I had set up.

Now I have a T-Mobile Vario and WM5 - standard build etc..., but when I click that "G" I get the same message bubble titles "connectivity" , but with a message saying "To connect to either the internet or work, set up a new connection in Settings". Using the "connect" button in the SPB GPRS Monitor icon (on the title bar) connects with no worries.

I have tries adding a new connection in - now I have 2 that work perfectly when usign SPB, but not with the "G" icon.

Clicking the "G" icon must read the registry somewhere and look for the current GPRS settings, but I must be missing them.....hmmmm

HKLM/Comm/ConnMgr/Destinations/Providers........ all seems ok, but the "ConnectionGUID" specified in my connections is not found anywhere else in the registry!

Can anyone help?

Ok, wi-fi works, camera works, OC to 1.2 Ghz works, I see new governors (testing Intellidemand at the moment, people say it should be less battery consuming than interactive), the only thing else I wish from kernel is a bit more RAM (819 MB in LiteKernel was great, but it caused camera to bug and wake lag, maybe there is a compromise?).

There was fast charge on LiteKernel, but it was removed for some reason. Maybe it was unstable.

Is there also a chance of increasing RAM on grakernel? Sorry for my humble asking, I'm just a fan of Asphalt series, from the first game back on Symbian... I know you're doing dev work in leisure time and I'm Ukrainian with 130$ monthly salary, so can't even donate, but I very appreciate all your work here.

better use zram. Litekernel simply decreases reserved ram. Its very easy to implement to this kernel, but I think there is reason to reserve 280M memory.
