[General Questions and Answers] DivineSpirit:
I am willing to admit I have no clue how to install this ROM so please be nice.

This is my first time installing a ROM on my device.

My device is rooted and I checked if it was rooted by using RootChecker so that isn't a problem.

:confused::confused::confused:

---

So I'm using this website in order to install Cyanogenmod for my Samsung Galaxy s2 SGH-i727:

teamchopsticks.org/p/cm110-release-notes

^^XDA wont let me post the link for some reason.^^

(please look at the link to understand my questions.)

1. I am confused on how you install the recovery, (number one) do you have to go into recovery mode then install it through there when you put it in your phone as a zip file? Then what?

2. When you install a compatible radio (in this case the AT&T skyrocket one) do you install it through the same process as number one? (install it then reboot?)

3. Are the "Wipe /data, /cache, and /system." all in one selection or where can i find the /system?

4. When it says flash does it basically mean install? I am super confused if you have to install all of these things on recovery mode or what. Does it matter if you have clockwork mod recovery or something else? I have something else relating to that but a bit different but works all the same.

I might not make sense but please understand I am a huge noob at this trying to get better at installing ROMs. if anyone could help me and not point how much of a noob I am would be really appreciated.

thanks!

I'm sorry but the link you posted is not working for me.

But you can always use CM Installer to automatically install cyanogenmod to your device.

use this link to install it :)

http://beta.download.cyanogenmod.org/install

oh and yes flash means install :) (Most of the time )

and you can find the Wipe Data and Wipe Cache options on the main screen of CWM Recovery. And Wipe System is "Format /system" under "mounts and storage "

Thank you.

[General Questions and Answers] Lokke9191:
I also have an old s2. If you're already rooted, the rest is super easy.

Find either cwm or twrp version for your device and download it on your phone.

Then install an app from the play store called flashify. Open flashify and use it to install either cwm or twrp recovery which ever one you chose. I believe cwm works better with cyanogenmod.

Once that's done you now have a custom recovery.

Next download the cyanogenmod Rom specific to your device. In my experience I find that version 10.1.2 works the best and is super stable/bug free. And download the gapps that corresponds to the version of cyanogenmod that you chose.

Now boot into your new custom recovery by first turning off the phone. Hold down both volume buttons and hold down the power button until the phone vibrates. At this point release the power button, but keep holding down the volume keys. This will boot you into your custom recovery.

Click on wipe and select it. Don't do advanced wipe just a regular reset/wipe.

Before you install the new rom we want to make a backup of your stock Rom, this will save you if you ever mess something up.

So in your New recovery choose backup. Name this STOCK and create backup.

Now click on install in your custom recovery and choose install. Locate the cyanogenmod you downloaded and install it. Then click install again and locate the gapps you downloaded and install it. Go back to the wipe section of your recovery and choose to wipe cache and dalvik. And viola you are done, boot and enjoy. Hit me up if you have questions or problems.

---------- Post added at 08:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 PM ----------

Oh...the first time you boot will take awhile probably like 5 to 10 minutes so just let it sit there and be patient. Make sure your battery is at like 85% before you do any of this.

As for different recoveries I prefer twrp. Twrp will work fine for cyanogenmod version 10.1.2 but sometimes bugs out when trying to install version 11. Cwm will work for version 11.

Hi all,

I'm a massive fan of this site and tell anyone who has a HTC device to check it out. This is my first post though so here goes.

I have an XP laptop on which I watch movies mostly as avi's. I have the Sony Ericsson HBH-DS970 which won't work on my laptop as it doesn't have A2DP. What I would therefore like to do is to watch the movie on my laptop and stream the audio portion over my wifi network to my Jasjar so I can listen to it through my headset.

Is this possible? If so how?

I will point out at this point that, while I'm not a complete muppet, I have never had anything to do with streaming of anysort so a tutorial might be useful. I have tried to figure it out using bits taken from several threads on this, and other, forums but so far with no luck. Ok so maybe I'm more muppety than I thought I was.

Yes I do know I could get some wireless headphones with a base that plugs into my laptop and do it that way, but where's the fun in that?

Any help gratefully recieved.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
i think response problem is a combination of 2 things: you have a really rare question (i didn't search, but from the looks of it it is), and you didn't wait long enough for that kind of question.

I don't know what type of bluetooth services the uni supports to other devices other than serial.

Thanks for te reply skywriter and sorry for rushing people. I didn't realise what I was asking was so hard. I just thought it was me being stupid. Well if anyone does have an answer I would be happy to ear it.

[XDA Assist] aryan0088:
Hello,

Awesome XDA developers. I am seriously in need for some helping hands for my Tablet PC. I have got a China Octa Core 7 inch tablet pc with WUXGA display, MT6592 Octa Core processor, 2GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, Android 4.2.2 OS , 13.3 MP REAR CAMERA, 5.3 MP front camera etc.

So far the tablet is so good with Android 4.2.2 OS. The china company recently gave me an updated ROM for the tablet PC. The update includes Android 4.4.2 OS. I installed the firmware with SP Flash tool 5.5. After installing the OS, I was very happy to enjoy KiTkaT. Every thing were perfect.

Except one strange problem I am facing with Android 4.4.2 KiTkaT upgrade. I can take photos in 13.3 MP high resolution with the rear camera. But when I record videos with "Fine" recording mode or any other modes (low, medium high or fine), the video gets recorded in 640x480 low resolution only. I tried every camera settings did not work. I also check the "build.prop" settings & "camerasize.xml" settings. But nothing worked. For both the front (5.3 MP) and rear camera (13.3 MP) records videos in 640x480 low resolution where as the same camera take photos in 5.5 MP (Front Cam) & 13.3 MP (Rear Cam) resolutions.

But for Android 4.2.2 OS, both the cameras could record videos with 1920x1088 resolution when you choose "Fine" as the video recording mode. I am a beginner level developer. I can not get anything to fix the problems. I reported this to the tab company, they said the firmware company can not fix the problems now. And asked me to use the Android 4.2.2 OS. I have also googled for possible helps with this firmware problems. I found that modifying libcameraservices.so & media_profiles.xml may fix the problems. I found the file "libcameraservices.so" and copied to my PC, opened it with a HEX Editor but am not that expert to correct it. Please help me.

Can the XDA forum experts help me with this miserable problems. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Please help. :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

Thanks & Regards
[XDA Assist] Perseus:
Those are libraries that are included in the firmware. Those can't be edited with a Hex editor. Not effectively anyway. What I'd suggest instead is to see if you can install Google Camera App.

But if that too does not work, then for you, the only other thing might be going back to 4.2 short of rebuilding the firmware with right libraries.
[XDA Assist] aryan0088:
Tried Google Camera But Failed :(

Thanks for your quickest reply to ma text. :D

I installed google camera. After getting it installed from the play store. It closes with an error when I try to access the camera settings. I also tried to do a trick by copying the "libcameraservices.so" from the Android 4.2.2 firmware & then copying it over the "libcameraservices.so" Android 4.4.2 firmware. Then I rebooted the phone, but it got stuck in the boot logo never rebooted. :(

Is there any possibility to correct the parameters of libcameraservices.so (Android 4.4.2 firmware) to fix the error..?? I am not that expert in building a custom ROM yet. Can you please help me out..?? :(

I am having a problem connecting to google play services when my phone is using the mobile data connection (3G).

I am using the orange signal bars in the quick settings panel to indicate that it has no connect to the services. I have also downloaded this app that also confirms that there is no connection.

When I enable WIFI it connects straight away.

If I enable WIFI hot spot mode on my phone and get a friend to connect to my hot spot, they are able to connect to google play services fine.

Periodically it will connect to the services but 95% it wont.

I am currently running PA RC2 but have flashed stock 4.4, 4.4.2, 4.4.3 and 4.4.4 and the problem is the same.

Any Ideas?

I'm currently still using my Galaxy S3 with Verizon. Since it's been a while that I had an HTC (OG Incredible) I wanted to get back. It was between this and the LG G3. I ordered this from SWAPPA and it comes rooted with s-off and the HK audio modification. Since there is an abundance of information I would prefer to just ask questions instead of reading all of the pages on the forum my main question is how does CyanogenMod and generally AOSP ROMs run on this phone? Should I just stick with CleanRom?

Thanks.

GPE Rom. Been running it for about a week now. No issues at all. Some are reporting camera lag, but I haven't noticed any.

CM is still on nightlies I believe, but it seems pretty stable from what everyone is posting.

If you want a closer to stock experience, stick with CleanRom. I had that from Day 1 and not one issue showed up.

Thanks for the advice. I'll look at that one. I'm also going to keep an eye on CM.

Hi,

So I've got .266 based UB, on 4.4.2 Vanir stock kernel

Interested in updating to a 4.4.3 rom but got a bootloop trying to flash CM11+gapps through TWRP.

I think it's down to one of these issues:

- Do I have to update to latest firmware via ftf flash? (.201/205)

- Do I need to flash a certain kernel/boot.img before flashing the rom?

- Do I need to use a certain compatible recovery/version?

Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks

Just flash via fastboot kernel that works with vanir and then enter recovery - wipe everything and install from SD. Should work :)

Is there any way to "wake up" the censor proximity to work properly again?

Google translator.
[Sony Xperia M] StaticBlaze:
Maybe there is some problem with the proximity sensor, try installing Proximity Screen Off Lite (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.itsme4ucz.screenoff) with which you can configure to turn off screen automatically when on a call.

[General Questions and Answers] wilbur753:
I'm now using Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 with android 4.1.2. Recnetly, I want to flash the S5 roms posted by other developers. However, those roms are in android 4.3 or 4.4.2. Can I directly flash it or do I need to upgrade my device to android 4.3 first?

thanks so much!:cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
You can't flash a s5 ROM onto your s3, it will brick.
[General Questions and Answers] wilbur753:
But the S5 rom is for S3. I found that in the S3 forum. Can you briefly explain why it will brick?Thank you
[General Questions and Answers] bweN diorD:
ok, i looked into the s3 forum and i see the s5 rom there.

this is either a rare instance where another phones rom is compatible or more likely what is known as a "port". it wasnt obvious right off what was the case.

either way, sorry for the confusion, it would be ok to flash that as long as its says its compatible with your phone.

generally speaking, you cant just grab a rom for any phone and flash it to another. that would result in a brick, and i jumped to conclusions and thought that was what you were trying to do.

as far as, if you need to upgrade first, im not sure about that.

some roms require you to be on a specific version first, otherwise it will bootloop after you flash the rom.

reason being, roms dont usually replace all parts of the software, but are built off or made to work with certain versions specifically because the use some of those non replaced parts to work correctly.

i would read through a few pages of the rom post. most likely someone has asked if it will work on whatever version or stated what version you need to be on for it to work.

if you cant find any answer, then i would ask the question there.

sorry i cant be of more help.

one bit of advice that i always follow myself, read into flashing back to stock and download all needed files and tools first. this way, if you have any issues, or just dont like the rom, you already have a backup plan in place to get your phone working again like you want it.

just my 2c hope that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Not sure if this belongs here but it is a question, lol.

Are there any apps/mods that would allow me to set up an automatic backup time/date to backup my ROMs?

By this I mean is there a was to have my phone automatically run twrp and make a nandroid while I sleep, possibly delete the old backup while I'm at it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Im sure it can be done. Anything is possible on xda! Unfortunately im not sure right now how to tell you to go about it. Is this something that an app like Tasker and/or a script manager might help with?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
Try an app called Online Nandroid Backup. The name is a bit misleading but be assured, it does not use the internet to make nandroids.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Online as in the device is still booted up im guessing? You could also write up a script to run the dd command to dump your data partition to a .img file. Then as I mentioned before use something like Tasker or a script manager to schedule it to run.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mp3deviant721:
Yep. As in device fully booted.

I use Rom manager Pro and it has automatic backup provision where you can set it with date and time and it will create backup automatically

You too can try
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] tokenpoke:
Thanks guys I'll look into each option tonight.

I was thinking about doing docs suggestion but I don't know how to make the script run at certain times without possibly causing some weird issue. Tasker should solve that
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I've heard good things about gscript as well. There are probably a number of script management apps in the play store you can try too. Didn't think about Rom Manager, but there are also TWRP apps that might do the same. If you go that route just use whichever app goes with your preferred recovery.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anil2653:
Rom Manager Pro has an option "manage backup and restore" and in that automatic backup is by default off so if you turn it on then it will be asking you to put backup time then days.

Then it will keep your Rom backed up.

Thank you for your time, I really appreciate it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Chris The Ninja Pirate:
OK, first of all the full theme requires Wisbar Advance Desktop too. Normally the theme will have a folder marked WA2 (Wisbar Advance) and one marked WAD (Advance Desktop).

Wisbar Advance is basically a task manager that puts pretty bars at the top and bottom of the screen. To get it to work you just need to drop the theme folder into the lakeridge/themes folder on your device.

Advance Desktop is a whole different ball game. As far as I can tell you only get given the basic elements of the desktop and need to set it all up yourself.

I looked into the Wisbar thingy. Looks cool, but is hard to install.
