Out of desperation, i flashed cf autoroot md5 by chainfire using odin that brought my phone back to life ie cyanogenmod 10.

Now when i try to update cyanogenmode i get signature verification fail message. I dont know what is the issue here.

Thanks

Are you trying to upgrade to CM11? All Kit Kat ROMs require a up-to-date recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] corphish:
Well, our Samsung Galaxy Star is a low end phone, initially it runs well (as it seems :p) but eventually android experience becomes AWFUL. Like the phone app takes about 5-10s time to open, and then after calling it takes 4-5s to initiate the call, which is really annoying. It falters even in the basic functionalities of a phone. So things need to be faster.

Rooting is always an option, but why not make it with Google's way :D

Following Steps/Suggestions should do the job -

Try disabling some default apps like Google Play Music, Play Movies, Play Books, Play Games (if on a newer firmware), Samsung Apps, Samsung account etc. But do not disable basic apps (although you wont be able to disable some).

Do not clear memory from the task manager, if done so, things might slow up. (I eventually forgot the presence of such app :P).

It is not recommended to use task killer type apps.

If you wish to use antivirus, use TrustGo, its a memory efficeient and a good antivirus.

It is not recommended to use the Facebook app (although the latest one is quite good). Use the messenger instead.

Keep only apps that are necessary. Do not keep useless app or remove such apps if it becomes useless from time to time.

Avoid keeping too many widgets in the Homescreen

Result -

Smoother and quite lag free User Interface

You will be less annoyed :D

Games will be more smoother (Example - Temple Run 2 lags a lot when run in normal set up, but after optimizing the phone with respect to this post, it was almost lag free and huge scores can be easily made. Same goes for FIFA 14).

Q. Too many sacrifices? Why?

Ans. Don't forget you are using a low end android. Want better performance without such sacrifices, spend more bucks and get a better android or root your phone :)

If I have helped, please give vote of thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] T3snake:
If u really get annoyed really angry u dont have to continue getting pissed

Instead rooting will solve 90 % and much less sacrifices

Rooting is easier than optimizing unrooted

And warranty? Bah who cares about that.

So there is NO advantage of keeping this phone unrooted

Actually its safer when rooted. The urge to throw away the phone to oblivion will end

Anyway this postatleast helps the ppl who dont want to root but do evrything else

Also a lot of unrooted users reported tht greenify wrks havent tried though

---------- Post added at 01:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

And never use messenger it will hunt ur phone down to the slowest garbage on earth

There is a great fb alternative gonna post it in app section
[Samsung Galaxy Star] sharmsy:
Yup he's right!! My Star's warranty is til 2015 and I don't really care about warranty etc.

Rooting is much safer than stock!!

[Samsung Galaxy Star] corphish:
I meant it for those who don't want to root their phones. I have seen a lot of people who does not want to root his/her phone, but complains about slow UI.

Although rooting is as easy as it seems, some people think the negative side of it. (Well, majority in my area).

Also, I felt messenger was a bit better than the facebook app. And often, using a 3rd party client results in security issues (rare though). :o
[Samsung Galaxy Star] T3snake:
That post was for non rooted users who dont want to take risk (when there is none since there is no hassle for bootloader) but want their phone to work wonders.

allmost all my friends have android but only 10% are intelligent enough to google themselves understand how good rooting is

others argue about the warranty which they would never use anyway and wonder y my phone is faster than their phones which cost double of what my phone is. 50% call me an idiot but i pity them as they touch their screens for a long long time just to see the time from the lockscreen.

and most people dont know what rooting is but just assume it to be a false solution. So they defend themselves using the most invalid arguments ever. (If u root ur phone, apps will stop installing / it doesnt work / rooting only uninstalls all system apps but i want them / Touchwiz is the best i dont want to change it by rooting / I will root after warranty )

and when i tell them about features i have but they dont evry1 says because u are rooted. But noone told u not to root its your fault tht u are missing those features and my phone is more useful than yours.

Okay i guess thats enough
[Samsung Galaxy Star] psych.half:
Most people think warranty is some sort of insurance or something.. They have'nt read the warranty policy nor went to a service center to claim a warranty. Infact they haven't read the first paragraph.

SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS LIMITED (hereinafter referred to as 'the company') guarantees to the purchaser that this product carries a warranty for the period mentioned below, commencing from the date of purchase. The company will repair or replace free of charge any part or parts of the product , if the defect is due to the fault material or workmanship. Warranty involves repairing of defective product/parts and does not entitle purchaser for the replacement of complete product.

So that says it, warranty doesn't apply for accidental damage or misuse of device. it only applies to manufacturation flaws.

And don't wanna read the whole warranty? Here's some points that's intresting..

THIS WARRANTY IS NOT APPLICABLE IN ANY OF THE FOLLOWING CASES:

The product is not used according to instructions given in the instruction manual.

Who reads the f***ing instruction manual??

Defects caused by improper use as determined by the company personnel.

Well, yeah. define proper use then?

Site (premises where the product is kept) conditions that do not confirm to the recommended operating conditions of the machine.

Umm, i don't keep my phone near crocodiles, is that enough??

The original serial number is removed, obliterated or altered from the machine or cabinet.

But but, I only pulled the sticker..

Defects due to cause beyond control like lightning, abnormal voltage, acts of God or while in transit to service centre or purchaser's residence.

Okay, I understand lighting and voltage.. but acts of God, seriously??

And yeah, that too isn't enough. You have to pass a warranty test.

It will cost <insert some money according to your device> to test if it is a warranty issuse. If it is a warranty issue then you will only have to pay for labor, the parts will be free. If it's not a warranty issue, and the problem was caused by any other means than of manufacturation flaw, then you will have to pay for the labor plus the parts,

So, if a $5 part was damaged due to false soldering. you got warranty and you passed the warranty test ,you will be paying them 10 times of that to get it fixed. well. that's really smart of you.
[Samsung Galaxy Star] T3snake:
To add to tht most people like me didnt fill up the warranty card which was supposed to be filled within 2 weeks of purchase so most probably most people are in a illusion of reassurance thinking they are safe because of warranty
[Samsung Galaxy Star] saikiransama:
Haha You're Right I have Seen Enough of people who dont know about rooting. some people even dont know how to use android.. they just keep asking too many questions ..
[Samsung Galaxy Star] isaacofori419:

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consultjai:
tried wifi file transfer and airdroid to transfer files from PC to my note 3. could see the folders and files from my note 3 on PC but when copying files fro pc to note 3 aborts. what could be the problem (any firewall changes on pc or note 3?). no issues with note 2 and the same pc. is that because of kitkat update?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
Its possible if you don't have a folder from that app on your external sd card and are using stock... KK doesn't allow any app to write to the external card unless it has it's own folder. It's a "security feature" Google put in....

Only thing it does is make using the external sd card harder and drive people to use cloud storage which is what Google wants....
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consultjai:
making sense!! thanks ultramag69
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barneyabz:
One other thing it does is stop people updating their firmware! - stay on 4.3 DO NOT upgrade if you want to continue having full access to your sd Card.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ultramag69:
At some point you will be forced to use their software, whether its a security update pushed to 4.3 or until you get a new phone... Sooner or later you will be assimilated.... :p

Not necessarily. Should that happen I'll root and"fix" what Google broke!

in your slim gapps link, there are 3 files

Slim AIO

Slim minimal

Which files do I need to download and flash?

Also experienced Google Play Services error after connecting to Internet and setting up my Google account. I updated it, then reboot.

conflict with gravitybox

this rom doesn't mix well with xposed gravitybox, does it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wan5xp:
Yes, because almost all gravitybox features is already in the rom. Only the feature that is not in the rom can be used
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:
thats what i figured. i thought this rom would be like aosx, which doesn't conflict with gravitybox.

i had to go back to aosx because slimrom + gravitybox was just such a pain..

xperia go

aosx 4.4.2 R2V1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Aaskereija:
Had no problem with gravitybox, or was this the reason why always navigation bar show up and statusbar was not transparent? That 3 bugs are the only one i found and i like the rom much, but i got 2 more bugs: root explorer doesnt work properly and i can't change the audio in the system/media/audio folders, i can't use my own musik and why is bootanimation in system/bin? Possible to change it?

And can you make a extra choice for percent batterie without the %?

Beside that its a great rom, better like aosx or omni (and even way better than the last cm updates) . But i wait till next fixes for use
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moaely:
I have been using this ROM now for more than 24h.

Scrolling bug not present, hd works, camera works, no restarts, battery normal, RAM free above 120 MB

Bluetooth and GPS not testet yet.

Only bug I noticed is that charging can only be done via pc. Any suggestions or do is the problem on my side.

To summarize. I have been on a few 4.4 xperia go ROMs. But so far this one is best and I strongly recommend it

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update. I am experiencing a dialer app problem. Lag present and no ring pulse for outgoing calls. Any suggestions or eta on a fix?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:
yeah i like this rom too, but i would like it better if features of xposed were removed. i mean why reinvent the wheel?

xperia go

aosx 4.4.2 R2V1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Aaskereija:
I only miss the power management to set governor and io-sheduler, etc. Or did i oversee it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:
you can change those with no frills CPU. the default is Lionheart/row if I'm not mistaken

xperia go

aosx 4.4.2 R2V1
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moaely:
the most critical bug is the call bug(lag, unresponsive, no call tone etc)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Moaely:
ROM not usable for daily use because of the call bug
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ankitsxperiago:
If you want to add audio files in media folder,you have to do it using PC bcoz due some reasons its possible only through PC.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jaboneros:
I'm testing build 5.1 since last night, so far loaded, updated all apps working smooth with a few hiccups.

At one point,sound stopped working, reboot restored it.

Google play not responding sometimes.

Transparent status bar build.prop workaround.

Boot time faster than aosx.

call function not yet tested.

WIFI seemed to not work even when the icon was showing, so went to Wifi advanced settings, turned off the Wi-Fi optimization feature.

avoided installing gravity box for now.

Update:

1 Calls are working fine,

2 Sometimes cannot exit an app using back button, need to touch home instead,

3 Battery 8 to 9 hrs avg use for 2 days now (in aosx, same usage and loaded apps I get around 12 hrs)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] alexandre2002:
i have no bugs exept the AD2P which not working, and i would know if it will be fixed or not later.

Any other tips?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Are you sure you did step 2? Because your mentioned Cyanogen after I gave the 3 steps, which isn't a factory image.

If you've flashed the factory images as per this location:

And you still have the issue, it needs to be repaired. I can't tell you how that is done in Croatia

- Fixed the problem that the Universal init.d app sometimes didn't got installed

- Cleaned up the installation script a LOT!

- FsTrim will be executed at the end of the installation of the ROM (to keep your internal memory fast)

# It is possible to build all modules at once.

3. Check module is in 'build\core\user_tags.mk'

If not, you should add your module name in it.

ex1) external\libjpega : Write "libjpega \" into "build\core\user_tags.mk"

ex2) external\libexifa : Write "libexifa \" into "build\core\user_tags.mk"

4. excute build command

Hi,

My Note 3 is not able to reboot properly after i flashed the file n900s-cwm-recovery-6.0.4.7-kk(0125) using ODIN.

An hour back i had successfully used CF Auto root and all was working well. Wanting to flash a custom ROM i tried putting in CWM and now have this issue.

I have taken out the battery and tried rebooting but stuck at the same Download mode. The screen reads like this

Please advise what needs to be done.

Thanks

Resolution: I resolved this by manually going into download mode and using cancel option. Then it started fine. But does that mean i did not successfully install CWM? Tried going into recovery but it goes back to download mode.
