Okay so my cousin has a galaxy s3 from at&t running 4.1.2 or 4.1.1? forgot, touchwiz and rooted, is it safe to install a kitkat aosp rom without updating to 4.3 jellybean touchwiz and removing the knox on that then installing the custom rom?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
Yes, you can install a kitkat based custom ROM without necessarily first updating to 4.3JB. The custom ROM would probably, like most custom ROMs do, retain your current bootloader. Whether or not it's safe to do that would depend on what ROM you are flashing. There is always a risk in any custom ROM and you would need to do your research thoroughly prior to proceeding.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LaosPerson:
Okay sounds good, thanks, and yes I know how to correctly flash a ROM, done it probably more than 50 times with my old galaxy note lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frankslan:
So what rom would be a bad one with 4.1.? Of course flashing a rom that is not for our phone, but is there anything we should look out for when running roms with 4.1?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
I'd be wary about custom ROMs for several reasons. No easier way to brick or backdoor your phone so you'd need to do a lot of research. Making recommendations or criticisms would be against the rules of the forum so I cant really make direct references. Generally, however, you should avoid any rom that messes with your bootloader. Also, unless you are a developer or tester gathering development data, you'd do well to stick with stable versions and avoid nightlies. Finally, the well known and tested names are usually safer and have better user support.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frankslan:
Oh man My phone just came it it's running on MJB but it rooted. Now I have to figure out what is safe to run on that. Man I thought this phone would be easy to install roms but it's seems way more tricky than most phones at least with the MJB bootloader. I really just want my acid sound mod.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
You can still run a custom ROM with the MJB bootloader especially since it is rooted and probably de-knoxed already. Most custom ROMs don't dicker with your bootloader. In fact, I don't know of any which does. I have, however, heard several reports that some of them do muck with your bootloader which is why you need to proceed with caution.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] frankslan:
Cool thanks, that's what I've been reading I started another thread hopefully someone can give a definitive answer there. I remember reading in some thread there is a way to check the zip file and look for certain files but I have no idea where I saw that. I read so many threads and that was pages deep.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] codemonkey98:

I don't know what I did, but instead of the Windows Mobile bootscreen (the one that comes after the first bootscreen with version numbers on it) I just get a completely white screen. Still loads into WM5 fine tough. Now how can I get my nice Windows Mobile bootscreen back?
[General Topics] levenum:
Hmm, from what I've seen on this forum, the WM splash comes from a ROM file called welcome96.png (under windows).

It is possible to overwrite this file but that would take some effort (you must use a cab, or total commander).

Could some app you installed recently have messed with the file?
[General Topics] yoda_143:
I just installed the pRSSreader beta2 prior to noticing the error, so it may be that, but I'm not sure.

//EDIT:

I uninstalled it and I got my bootscreen back.
[General Topics] levenum:
Thought of another possibility:

Does this program add anything to startup/init?

Maybe it somehow jams the startup process (takes up all the CPU cycles?) and prevents windows from displaying the splash?

I think you should look for some kind of app (sorry don't know any my self) that can launch other programs on schedule, lets say a sec or two after the device is fully up. That will solve your other problem as well (the one with unknown file on startup)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khant:
So I have a water damaged Nexus 5 and it blinks the red notification light when charging. The device was 100% working until it died. Replacing battery doesn't change anything. It seems that this is very common problem, if you look on eBay listings, all of the water damaged Nexus 5 says that it blinks red when charging.

Any help on what error this is would be helpful. Red light blinking on water damage is too common symptom to be a coincidence.

Maybe charging with a Qi charging will work?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Removing the back ad battery and placing the device in a bowl of uncoocked rice for a few days would probably have helped to extract moisture from the phone. Turning on the device with water damage is a bad decision imo

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khemical0:
I'm in Japan for this year and I've just purchased a B-Mobile Free Data Sim (with voice), and while I can use the phone service, I can't use Data. After looking at b-mobile's GUARANTEED to work devices (bmobile.ne.jp/english/devices.html) other versions of the Galaxy S2 are listed, but not the i9100. However, in the list of acceptable bands, the following is written:

"Your device must support one of the following frequency

LTE Band 1 (2100MHz), Band 19 (800MHz), Band 21 (1500MHz)

W-CDMA/HSDPA/HSUPA Band 1 (2100MHz), Band 19 (800MHz)"

My Galaxy i9100T (From Vodaphone) should, as far as I know, support the W-CDMA Band 1 (2100MHz), but nonetheless, I can't use data.

I've made sure my APN settings are 100% correct, as according to the bmobile website.

Should I give up on trying to make this work, or is there some way I can get this going? Is there a particular radio or modem I can flash in order to get better connectivity? Otherwise I'm planning on buying a second hand Galaxy SC-02C or something which is on the list of devices guaranteed to work and relatively inexpensive. If you are knowledgeable on this subject, please lend a hand.

If there's any other information you require about my phone, please let me know.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
To the best of my knowledge, the phone wasn't sold there by carriers (neither the I9100 or the T), so there's no stock roms released by carriers in the country, and no modems bundled with those stock roms which would have been tested with the carrier's network as would normally be the case.

Sooo....You're probably stuck with trying a bunch of different modems unless a search throws up someone who's posted saying they had good connectivity with whatever modem on that network. If it was me, given the other relatively cheap option you mentioned (and my lack of patience with this sort of thing these days), I'd be buying the other phone if having a working phone without fuss was important to me (which it is).
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khemical0:
Cheers,

I managed to get it working, on a stroke of luck. Flashing a few different modems didn't seem to get it connected, but after looking more extensively through the japanese version of the site, i found this page (bmobile.ne.jp/devices/setting_other_androidos.html) which suggested an alternative server to connect to for the APN (dm.jplat.net instead of mobile.ne.jp), even though this is the only page it seems to have this alternative server listed on. My reception isn't amazing, so maybe I'll continue as you suggested, flashing modems, until I can get better reception. Thanks for your help :D.

Anyway, for anyone who happens to have a similar problem, please try connecting to the above server and see if it works for you.

During regular security checks of the Linux kernel, the system has detected that the kernel has been modified. Possible causes:

-You may have installed a malicious or flawed app, which attempted to modify the kernel code or file system

-You may have accidentally removed or modified a system file.

One of these messages will appear: “To protect your device. It is recommended you reboot.” or “The device has detected an application attempting to perform actions that are not permitted. It is recommended that you restart your device.”

Restart your device to try to restore the kernel code back to normal. However, some kernel modifications made to the file system cannot be restored. Also, the original cause of the problem might still persist. Therefore, you might continue to see this error after the reboot.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bizaff:
I'm on Hyperdrive RLS15. Hyperdrive has the Samsung keyboard as a system app. In the interests of paranoia, I'd like to make the Samsung keyboard a user app (not a system app) so I can disable internet access, via AFWall+, XPrivacy, etc.

I tried converting to a user app with Titanium Backup, but that failed (Cannot convert "Samsung keyboard 1.0" to a user app.) I backed up the keyboard with Titanium Backup and copied the apk out of /system/data, then uninstalled the keyboard. I tried installing the apk from ES File Explorer, but that appeared to fail silently - I couldn't select it in Settings. Then I went to Google Play and was going to install from there, but the only choice was to Uninstall, so I did that. Then the option was Update. I tried updating, and again no obvious way to see anything installed.

Last, I restored from Titanium Backup, and I'm back where I started.

My questions:

1) Is there a way to change an installed app from a system app to a user app, given Titanium Backup failed?

2) Is there a way to modify a Titanium Backup backup to change it from a system to a user app?

Thanks
