[T-Mobile LG G2x] TheCrazyDirectioner:
I remember two years ago I had a G2x. There was lots of development going on for CM7, ICS, and even CM10. I got a better phone and left for a while, now I come back with another G2x and the development so far has pretty much not changed since I left. Everything is still right where it was. How come there's so little development for the G2x? The phone I went to for the past over a year was the Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-i757M, a Canadian-only variant that was pretty much unheard of to anybody) and there's an almost stable unofficial CM11 for it. :eek:
[T-Mobile LG G2x] hippiesky:
Yea it pretty much stopped. They can't get the radio to work but they gave it a good try. This is probably it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] giveen:
Pretty much what hippiesky said. Several of us gave it a go, but the radio stayed out of our reach. We did have JB up and running but without the radio a phone is useless except for as a media device. Many of the developers have moved onto other devices. I stil have my G2x and its my daily phone, but I plan on upgrading to the Moto G soon on Republic Wireless as soon as my funds become available.

Hello !

I broke the screen of my Nexus 4 last week. Before sending it to change its screen, I would like to backup the data saved in my internal SDCard (particularly the pictures...). To do that, I followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/general/nexus-4-guide-unlock-bootloader-root-t2266654 without performing a reboot between the bootloader unlocking and the installation of the last CWM as mentionned here : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=44859053&postcount=8. Now I can launch CWM and see my device with adb but when I run a "adb pull /data/media", no piece of data is saved... I logged on the device with "adb shell" and I saw that the /data/media folder seems empty. Do you have any idea about how to recover these data ?

Hello all the peeps of XDA. just wanted to share something i found out. might save some the time and trouble i went through.

i am running Insane KitKat rom V8 with Xposed framework.

Just wanted to give a heads up, the "Activity Force New Task" mod seems to be interfering with tethering quite badly. It won't even let you turn tethering on. regardless of your data plan. I have 3 GB with my plan, but use mods to work around that limitation. for some reason, this module kills it all. took me a friggin week and a half to find out it was Xposed, and another several hours of de-activating, rebooting, and testing all the modules again to find which one.

not sure if it's a problem with other ROM's or not.

Hopefully, this will help someone who is having same problems i was.

I currently have a Note 2, unlocked bootloader, alliance rom.

if I were to buy an S5, can I just move the Note's SIM card to the S5 and it would work?

Or does one of the talking heads at the Verizon store have to "activate" the S5?

I'd love to have 2-3 phones where I move the SIM card between them depending on how I feel each day.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ks3rv3rg:
Yes, you can swap the Sim card to different devices. I'm not sure if it'll work without going to the my Verizon and changing the device there as well though. I've used the same Sim card in my note 2, blackberry, s4, s5, maybe even all the way back to my thunderbolt, but I can't remember exactly.

I've used my current LTE Sim from Razr MAXX to Razr HD to Galaxy S5.. I have heard that the newer LTE Sims have some upgrades. How much truth there is to that, I don't know.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scallawag:
This is for Verizon!

I have mostly new phones and a new sim card. First and foremost all phones have to be activated with Verizon then you can change sims at will. I have a Galaxy S5, Moto Maxx, LG2 and IPhone 5. The same sim works in all phones. Yes I have to use a sim adaptor with the Galaxy S5. Shortly after changing the sim card the picture of the phone I'm using shows up on the My Verizon site.

I used to be with AT&T and I don't think each phone has to be activated by AT&T. I think it goes by the sim card. As I remember I could use any active sim card In any AT&T phone. If it was not a AT&T phone but worked on the same network you may have to configure the APN setting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oC|-TiTaN:
Can confirm. Got the VZW S5 through Amazon, which contained a new sim. When I got it, I turned off my old phone, popped out the microSD and sim, popped out the S5's sim and replaced it and installed the microSD and booted up.

First setup said the sim was active to my number, obviously, and I checked Verizon's site within minutes and it knew i had the new phone on that line.

Flawless victory.

First Initialization of my S5

I was in the middle of initializing my S5 the day I received it. I had about 3 bars of signal strength. Then the signal strength went to zero and the phone would not complete initialization. I finally decided that the SIM card, for some reason, had fried during the process.

I removed the SIM card from my Droid Razor Maxx HD and plugged it into the S5. Signal strength was then back and the phone popped up a window stating that the SIM card was already activated. HOWEVER, I could still not make a call or reach the internet.

I called Verizon tech support and explained what I had done. He had me remove the SIM card and read off the lengthy number printed on the card. After he updated the system to associate this SIM card to the new phone everything was fine. It would be nice if their system software was smart enough to automate this process but apparently it isn't.

Also, I concur with the post that there is no guarantee you can swap SIM cards between phone. The first SIM enabled phone I owned definitely had a larger card. I would not have been able to move the card from that phone to the S5.

Hey when you wipe your phone to install a new rom does all the Google play music get wiped too? I know before the wipe i had all the music pined to my phone but after the wipe it is not. I don't wanna double download it to my phone and take up excessive storage if its still there and i just need to change something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
That's a good question because I know playlist stay if you have sync on but I know when you flash a new Rom the serial of the phone changes so basically it gets added as a new device in the listing of Google Music.

Did you wipe internal SD? If so then they are gone for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
Play Music stores your downloaded music in the app data. It should always get wiped unless you backup and restore it with titanium.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypera:
If you have the songs downloaded to the micro sd card and you do not wipe the sd card. The songs should still be there. At least that is what is happening to me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mav3rick478:
Interesting because that didn't happen to me, although it was a playlist that I put together of music that I do not own so that could be the difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thesoldier:
Once again, Google Play Music stores the downloaded music in it's app data..not on your SD card. It will get wiped with a new ROM install. You must be using a different music app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Hypera:
I may have misunderstood what the op is asking then. Is the op asking where the music files downloaded to? If so, the op can choose either internal or external storage location. It is stored in an app data folder though like you said; the app data folder (with the music files) would be determined on which location you choose.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] gooberdude:
I used the same setup... found stock with minimal mods to work just as good and have better capabilities with SD card and being OTA compliant for updates as well. I also had tested the DVFS disable with the the mods done in Civato's rom and kernel. No issues, both with his setup and my setup, and in stock rom as well.

Speed improvement was not too well missed.

I use the pro version of TweakterMod on the OEM ROM only to double the read ahead buffer for best speed with 633x SD cards.

Later on when developing gets better for a truly compatible Samsung kernel, I can use my pro version to its capabilities.

I have a few replies on battery consumption and workarounds along with a few threads as well for both SD and power battery issues.

I just got my Galaxy S5 (G900M). I am experiencing an annoying issue while using the front camera (selfie style...). It appears that the image is distorted if the phone is not straight in front of the object. I guess my sensor is defective or something. I tried to set the camera differently but no changes.

How do I fix this problem?

The contact photos i have are already linked to my contacts on my GMail account, and sync across, but want to edit with higher quality images.

Maybe there is another way to do this am not sure?

First open installed apps. Find the Google+ app. Next clear cache. Then uninistal updates. Next. Go to play store update Google+ again.

Now try and save a photo to a contact. The First time you will be asked which program to use for edits. Choose gallary. Not Google photos. And voilà. It now saves.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
All Roms based on the Samsung Touchwiz Framwork will support WiFi Calling. So try S3Rx by [MENTION=2972841]enewman17[/MENTION] or StockMod by [MENTION=3760726]saranhai[/MENTION]. Eitheer way, I suggest flash KT747 Kernel for Touchwiz.

In my opinion, (and this can be debatable.) AOSP Roms have more free Ram and slightly better battery life. However they will never support WiFi calling. Let me know if you want to explore that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BenzE420:

Not all touchwiz based ROMs support Wifi calling. Read posts 31 and 32 in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2735506&page=4

custom ROM for tethering and wifi calling SGH-T999L

Hi, I am new here to trying to figure out how to enable mobile hotspot/tethering and wifi calling with my SGH-T999L(t-mobile, prepaid 5GB data).

My phone(ver. 4.3) is rooted by Odin method with root66_TMO-L_T999LUVUBNC1.tar.md5 file. And superSU(ver. 1.94) was automatically(?) installed during the rooting but never used it since. Anyway, this was my very first dealing with phone software; I have never experienced rooting/flashing before. Please bear with my ignorant terms and questions...

q1. Isn't there any reasonably safe ROM to enable tethering?

q2. Can I flash the custom ROM with Odin, same process as my rooting but just change the MD5 file?

q3. Do I need to configure my phone before or after the custom ROM flashing for tethering?

:o when I rooted, I did not make any recovery. I had no clue about Knox counter before and still don't know where and how to check Knox counter with my phone.. I have just followed YouTube "safe rooting methods for s3" without much knowledge. How lucky my phone is not a brick now!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
1. Any of the Custom AOSP Roms will have tether built in. If you want to keep stock Touchwiz, you will have to use some Tether app from Play store.

2. Yes and no. You first flash custom Recovery with Odin. Same process except different file. Then you flash custom roms (which are in zip format) via the custom Recovery. A custom Recovery is TWRP, CWM or Philz Touch.

3. Usually yes after the custom rom is up and running. Just a few click to turn it on or customize to your preferences. No Rocket science there.

Knox Counter or Warranty Bit is displayed when you put the phone in download mode. If its zero that means its not set. If its 1 then you tripped it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] BenzE420:
Is there any Tmobile based TW ROM that has HALO? If not, is there a good add on or app for notifications? Halo was one of the things I really liked about AICP. It seems possible, as Slimbean says it doesn't include HALO by choice.

It seems that all the ASOP ROMs are KitKat. Since KitKat is on the way to Tmobile S3 at some point. When that happens, will it allow ASOP type ROMS with Wifi, or am I mixing up several concepts?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
HALO is a feature introduced by AOKP Developer community. Hence it is found only in Roms that are based on that code base such as PAC MAN. Other ROMs particularly Stock touchwiz will never the feature as is. Samsung did introduce something similar called floating Notifications that some liked but most did not. They base on Google's code so the AOKP code will never make it into Samsung Stock. However, I do recall there was bounty on Verizon's forum for bringing HALO to Touchwiz. Don't know what happened to it. I don't use touchwiz.

Speaking of all these terms, you indeed are mixing quiet a few things. AOSP Roms, based either on Google's code or CM's code will never use anything from the AOKP fork. This is by design. If you want to know why, you will have to understand the difference between AOSP and AOKP. Google is your friend.

I recall Liquidsmooth at one point in the 4.3 code had introduced HALO. Don't know if it continued or not. I do know, with the significant code changes to Kitkat, these prior features are not working and the developers are working to port them over. Its a matter of time. Speaking of which, all Custom Roms do have a 4.3 variant. Its just that users want the latest and greatest so you won't see much discussion of the 4.3 now. But it sure does exist.

After you accept Stock Kitkat update, I am sure you can continue to flash custom Kitkat Roms. Who knows, they might have moved to Key Lime Pie by then. But I don't think I understood the question. Are you referring to the Tether or WiFi hotspot ?
