[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gobbling_Monkey:
Hello. I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 i545. It was on 4.4.2 before I installed a custom rom. It had NC2. I want to go back to the stock ROM. How can I do this? I heard that I must use ODIN, but am not sure how to do that. Can someone send me a link to the firmware file download pages and also a link to download ODIN along with instructions on how to go back to the stock ROM? Thank You

Did you even try to google "i545 nc2 odin"?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouch01:
Hi! This is my first post on XDA.

As a user of CM for more than a year ago on my i9300, and after enduring a lot of bugs, I wonder: What happens to CM?

It's a known fact that the Exynos platform is a headache for developers because there is no documentation or open sources from Samsung. So, things like the camera, the sound system, the HDMI output and the GPU do not work as they should.

However, here are many good developers who have fixed these bugs, or at least improve them a bit. And most of these fixes are open source and accessible by everyone on Github.

So, what is waiting CM to implement them? Giving credit to their authors, obviously.

CyanogenMod announces itself as an alternative to the stock firmware that lets you take full advantage of your smartphone, making it better and more stable. Now they are also a company: Cyanogen Inc. As a reputable brand, it should offer a higher quality firmware. ROMs like Nameless (I'm using it right now) works better even being "not official".

This is just an opinion as a user. I'm not criticizing or forcing anyone to do anything. But if there are hundreds of people using a ROM with bugs that were fixed, why not implement them? I would be the first to help, but my skills are just about webdev.

Respect and thanks for i9300 developers on XDA, and sorry about my bad English. When I use my native language I express myself MUCH better. Trust me. lol

Thanks for reading.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
There's no i9300 maintainer, and they accept pull requests (on gerrit) when somebody sends them.

Also, the fact that there's no i9300 maintainer is directly connected with what you already said - lack of proper documentation. Nobody wants to fix the mess that has been created since whole this time. The amount of hacks required to make AOSP work on i9300 is too damn high. I'm slowly fixing this mess, making i9300 a bit better supported, but it's still a long way until it's done. Take a look at ArchiKernel for example, why I had to create my own kernel? Because smdk4412 sources were so much outdated that they finished around update7, right after sudden death fix. XXELLA, 4.1.2 Android times, hello. So first thing was to cleanup the kernel mess, use up-to-date samsung sources (used for stocks) and make them work with AOSP. Now, if I commit my work to CM, they'll deny this instantly because new kernel supports only i9300 and this commit would break all other exynos4 variants from compiling. Yes, together we COULD fix it, make it work with other devices. But I have better things to do than trying to fix whole exynos4 family, I focus on i9300.

This is one of the reasons why we won't see any official cm12 nightly for i9300. Because nobody is going to maintain that. Even if we can fix something, nobody is going to commit that, unless we put serious effort for making it universal across all supported devices.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenJSweeney:
That's a real shame the device is in such a mess.

Actually, to be fair, using Omnirom 4.4.4, I'm finding that the only thing that doesn't work properly is the notification led (no one seems to know why it only works 3 times out of 4).

I'll probably end up buying a new phone next year, anyway, since buy this time next year the i9300 will be almost 4 years old. In smartphone terms, that means it's getting along a bit.

(oh, and thanks for all your work on it, JustArchi!)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouch01:
Thanks for answering my topic. The opinion of a developer like you is very appreciated.

This situation only seems to give more reasons for not buy a Samsung phone again. This lack of support from the manufacturer is a disrespect to the user's investment. And fragmentation strikes again. Sad but true.

Thanks again for your great work of keeping this device alive for all of us.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouch01:
I tried OmniROM few months ago, but it had some annoying bugs (like camera crashes) and I missed some customizations of CyanogenMod. Anyway, I'll try it again. My next buy might be a Motorola phone. The AOSP support is priceless.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenJSweeney:
I had the camera crash on CM11 M11, and switched over to Omnirom shortly after that. I'm using Google Camera with an Omnirom nightly from November, and I've never had a camera crash.

Agree with you about getting a Motorola. I'd love it if the next Moto G refresh (if there is one) came with some more RAM, increased storage (16GB instead of 8), 4G, and a multicolour led. Being able to customize the colours to suit the category of app is something I love about custom ROMs. That should be baked into Android, to be honest (but at least there's LightFlow).

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arashvenus:
SlimRoms is the answer

unlike CM, Slim has a I9300 maintainer, has support, every weekly update works properly.

Devs should really take a look at Slim's Gerrit and Freenode/#SlimDev
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsgood:
The thing with Motorola is that their stock roms are basically just stock android. No laggy touchwiz skins, just a google launcher. Bloatware is at a minimum. A low spec phone like the moto G still is great because of how vanilla its experience is.

Rumours have it that the galaxy S6 international variant will have an exynos processor. I found a thread comparing the leaked info of the snapdragon 810 vs the next exynos processor and it seems that the exynos is getting a lot of popularity from users on the thread and it ain't no slouch. As it is now, phone's are so fast, that it's very hard to find a way of improving them. Like who compares app opening times nowadays? That will be much the case for 2015's flagships as well. I doubt I'd be disappointed if I had the next Samsung release if I thought I'd be in for a laggy UI, it's just whether I can tolerate the touchwiz experience or if I wanna switch to a vanilla aosp rom. That's where the problem arises.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moster2:
But only in your imagination. There is noone at slimrom. Just check their gerrit.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenJSweeney:
Aren't the Exynos processors the cause of much grief in the open source community, though? Aren't Qualcomm processors, such as the Snapdragon, much more popular because they're easier to work with..?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eleve11:
Correct.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StephenJSweeney:
Well then, no more Samsung phones for me, then. Not unless they use Qualcomm..!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whatsgood:
Yes, that's what i thought but people are showing interests due to how powerful the processor is. I think they're saying it's more powerful than the snapdragon 810. I'm not that techy but they were mentioning that the new exynos will be smaller in size or something, whilst the snapdragon will be bigger. Apparently smaller is better, but yes the problem is open sourcing. If you want to install a stock android custom rom, it will be difficult for developers to build a rom that can push your phone to it's full potential. Snapdragon doesn't have this problem.

Basically if you love flashing different roms that are fully functional a snapdragon 810 phone is for you. If you like what Samsung offers in it's next flagship and won't be tempted to flash other roms then the exynos is for you
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JustArchi:
I prefer to have less powerful processor, with full documentation how it works, rather than exynos and big giant hackish black box, which noone understands.

The problem is not with the exynos, but with Samsung. Judging from Exynos4, their kernel sources and own experience, exynos may look like it works, but amount of hacks and dirty workarounds to make it work, is too damn high. This could all be solved if Samsung changed their policy from "respect GPL, f*ck the rest" to "respect developers, show them that our SoC can be developer-friendly, too".

The problem is that we're not even 0.01% of Samsung sales, so why should they care. I'm not going to buy Samsung phone again, regardless if it has Snapdragon inside or not. The problem is not with the Exynos, the problem is in Samsung's policy.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda_Noob.:
Yeah +1 for that. My next Phone will be definitly a Sony or a One plus. I think both are the developer friendliest in android ...

This is an interesting article on the new touchwiz that appears in android lollipop on the galaxy note 3. Surprisingly I can see nothing but praise from this person, apparently it seems to be running very well in comparison to touchwiz on KitKat. Is Samsung finally doing something good?

its useless even if they port it to our i9300..1gb of ram..maybe its time to upgrade to more stronger phone.. :(

I have the same issue ever since my Nexus 5 updated to Lollipop. It won't show the pickup slider.
[Moto 360] TheAmazingDave:
I've been wondering the same thing... I thought this was supposed to be the case.

I bought my 360 after my Nexus 6, so I don't know how it behaved on KitKat.

I can reject calls, or send a quick text, but I can't answer.

I guess it makes sense, since you need to hold your phone to talk on it anyway, but it would be nice to answer the calls from the watch when I'm wearing my BT headset. Or if answering from the watch turned on speakerphone, that would be pretty kick-ass, too.
[Moto 360] felacio:
There is a wear app that supposedly turns on speakerphone when you answer from the watch. Mine won't do anything when I slide to answer, the phone keeps ringing but I can't reject the call so... I dunno.

[Motorola Atrix HD] Shlomi93:
hey guys.

i have atrix hd mb886 and when im trying to get into recovery all i see is the background and no menu.

and after a minute the phone restart, show motorola logo then restart again and go into recovery and restart againg.. endless loop like that. :eek:

now i tryed to flash rom with Safestrap recovery (before the endless loop when the phone was still +/- good and was startup to the android system).

the flash was unsuccessful (error 7) and after the restart the phone got into this loop.

ive serched the whole net and didnt find answer but iv seen that if i will flash the phone from the AF Fastboot (volume up and volume down then AF Fastboot in menu)

the phone will come back to it self.

but the phone dosnt respond to the RSD Lite 6.1.6.

i deleted the driver and now the pc dosnt recognized the phone and in device mengar i see "Fasstboot QINARA S". (Win 8.1)

i tryed diffrend pc and the phone (fastboot) recognized as "ADB somthine".. (Wind 7)

the RSD still dosnt recognize the phone but the device manager dose, so i tryed through "Myth Tools - AHD" but the phone didnt got flashed.

now im asking if there a way to unbrick it except jTag??

please help me guys im really stuck!! :crying:

Thanks in Advance.
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
1. What stock version were you on?

2. Were you BL unlocked?

3. Why are you using safestrap?

4. What did you do to to cause the bootloop?

5. What stock version are you trying to flash?
[Motorola Atrix HD] Shlomi93:
1. i thinke i was 4.1.1

2. bootloader was unlock when i got the phone.

3. i thoghte safestrap was recovery like CWM and TWRP and i still think so... isnt that a recovery?

4.safestrap recovery >> flashed cm 11 nightly (4.1.2 i think.) >> boot loop.

5. i think that is 4.1.2 (cm 11 nightly)

please help me!!!!!!
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
Ok, so it was a stock JB build. Bootloader unlocked is good. Safestrap on an unlocked boot loader is not. Safestrap is only necessary for locked bootloaders. It most likely isn't compatible with newer ROMs. While it may give you access to recovery, it is only used when the bootloader is locked. 4.1.2 on a cm build is cm10. Cm11 is 4.4 to 4.4.4. Sbf and a regular ROM are different and flashed in different ways. We do not have a 4.4 sbf. You need to flash a sbf, not a ROM, via RSD.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Shlomi93:
i know!

but the RSD not recognized my phone!

how can i fix that??
[Motorola Atrix HD] palmbeach05:
I read that you deleted the drivers. You should start there. I've used RSD 5.7, idk how 6.1 works. That should do the trick.
[Motorola Atrix HD] Shlomi93:
ok so i fixed the drivers and now i see ADB drivers...

but now im useing "Myth Tools - AHD" trying to flash "MB886_att-user-4.1.1-9.8.0Q-97_MB886_FFW-20-27-release-keys-ATT-US_BuildA.xml"

and im stuck at "60/100 completed"...

any help??
[Motorola Atrix HD] Shlomi93:
i fixed my phone!!

just tryed few more times with the myth tools.

after 3 times i got it !

Hello, if you've used any of my apps before, you would realise how much work I've put into this app to revamp the look and feel of my app. I'm proud to release my newest app - The Floating Assistant.

I've made the tutorial and animations especially friendly, and even written a website to go hand-in-hand with the app (website was hardcoded from scratch with just notepad++)

Basically Floating Assistant is like Assistive Touch on an iPhone. But I've included in a very unique set of settings. Unlike other assistive touch variants in the playstore, I acknowledge that most phone makers already included many quick settings in the notifications bar (airplane mode, brightness etc). Simply adding the same quick settings is totally redundant.

Try it out here, and would be grateful if you could send me some feedback :D

Hi,

After trying about half a dozen mono and stereo bluetooth headsets each with their pluses and minuses, I've decided to stick with a wired set.

Does anyone know if there's a solution available like the boxwave dual adapter that allows handsfree use as well as your own 3.5mm stereo headphones? Boxwave doesn't currently support the 8125 though I've put in a request.

http://www.boxwave.com/products/dualadapter/index.htm

I've seen the adapter from PocketPCtechs (from another thread here) but that's geared more towards auto use.

Barring a Boxwave like adapter kit, are there any replacement wired headsets that someone could recommend?

Wired Stereo Headset or Adapter for Wizard

I got adapters on eBay that worked fine, with microphone and volume control, much cheaper than the one on www.seidioonline.com.

I also highly recommend the Shure i2c-T headset that is recommended for the Treo - works great with Wizards - awesome sound (in-ear plugs with dual speakers in each ear), very sturdy - can use Voice Command but do have to press button on the Wizard to activate.

I am following the experimental CM 11 and the Lollipop threads, but they have lots of things that are not working yet. I am also wondering why AOSP development is not ready for users.

Thanks for your answers. Since it's my first Sony device with android, I still don't know who are those devs. I will believe in your words and assume that they are great devs :)

I'm only afraid that devs just jump this generation (Z3) by having an older one (since they are all great devices) and by waiting for the next one (Z4). But I'm probably concerned with no reasons, since there is a long list of Sony devices sharing the same hardware and there is also the unified kernel. :p

Hi,

I came across a post showing how to use xbmc with the advanced laucher plugin to open retro gaming roms from within xbmc. I went this route as my kids have an easier time seeing the covers of games rather than going through the list of games.

But I have an emulator that is not listed for the arguments. The emulator I use is "nds4droid". I would like to ask how do I find out the argument code to input into the laucher.xml file?

For example, this is the code for the Drastic nds emulator:

DraStic:

non-root:

start -n com.dsemu.drastic/.DraSticActivity -a android.intent.action.MAIN -c android.intent.category.LAUNCHER -e GAMEPATH "%rom%"

Everything was going fine but today while trying to freeze other apps I accidentally froze the Kinguser app. Now I have lost root access and want a fix to this. Since superuser is frozen I cannot unfreeze it since that also requires superuser permissions. I can root my device only with iroot app but now since kinguser is frozen its showing error in re-rooting. I cannot connect my device to computer since the usb port is damaged and they say that I need to change the entire motherboard to fix this.
