I have Cyanogen 10 on my Galaxy S II and I'd like to go back to gingerbread. Is it possible to just throw a gingerbread ROM into odin and revert? I'm trying to decipher this list to find the right one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1075278 My baseband is XXLPQ but all I can see for that is 4.0.3. Thanks in advance.

Anyone gotten flash video working on jellybean? I'm trying to install the apk and use it in dolphin or the stock browser like they talk about here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774336 But I'm just getting distorted video, tried several different flash versions and dolphin versions and get the same thing every time. I'm starting to wonder if it's a problem with my rom but I can't navigate thousands of page long "dev-only" threads over there. (it's cm10 based jellytime for desire hd) I have a subsonic server at home and flash is how I watch a lot of my movies and tv eps while away, it'd be nice to be able to do on phone again.

Yeah, they aren't doing anything special for the flash apk, just that they have several versions of it and choosing some special options in dolphin. I get distorted video in stock or dolphin, just a bunch of broken diagonal lines. I'm remembering something from the thread I got my rom from about "hw overlays" causing problems and you may need to disable hw overlays. I've tried checking a box that says exactly that in dev options but it doesn't change anything and that setting doesn't seem to survive a reboot. edit: weird I just got one vid to play for a few secs in stock browser until I hit the volume button. Then it just showed a scrambled view of the volume bar in the vid window. Vin BioEthanol fucked around with this message at 21:34 on Nov 24, 2012 |

I've given up on Flash on Android - when it did/does work, it is just too laggy/buggy to bother with.

Thanks for the quick response here, I was thinking of doing the same thing but could not decide whether it was worth the hassle at the moment. Maybe to disable the stupid camera shutter sound?

Yeah, the ability to disable the shutter sound or not is also carrier specific in the first place. T-Mobile and Verizon SGS3 for example just have a menu option to disable it in stock. For some other carriers, if you mute the phone before opening the Camera app (maybe even after?) it'll disable the shutter sound. Once you're rooted you can rename/delete: shutter.ogg, shutter_multiple.ogg, Auto_focus.ogg and Auto_focus_error.ogg, in System\Media\Audio\UI

Any ideas as to why my battery is dropping like this with virtually no screen-on or awake time? It seems pretty unusual for just sitting on my desk unplugged all day. I'm running CM10 on my Verizon GS3, and I do not have Light Flow installed.

What does the battery history say? Awful Betamax was murdering my battery earlier today until I killed it, but it showed up high in my battery history, and I have to assume that you would have noticed something like that while trying to get to the battery graph. edit: and I wouldn't really consider that almost no awake time. That's probably about a third awake time.

It had a lot of (over 30%) Maps time, but GPS is near zero use according to the battery graph there. Betamax was down at like 2%. I deliberately let the phone alone all day to see what would happen, the only screen-on time is when I was checking battery levels.

New to the Sprint GS3, I haven't rooted it yet but am considering it (at the least to just remove the camera shutter sound). What is the consensus on a safe rooting method and a good custom recovery? I have found 2 or 3 ways to go about it, but am nervous about bricking. Is it even worth it to get CM10?

What is a good lightweight ROM for the crespo4g (sprint nexus s 4g)? The fact that this thing only has 512 mob ram is a bit limiting it seems, and cm10 isn't cutting it. Stock is usable, but I have to really work to keep memory usage low.

When I did it months ago, it was as simple as flashing a rooted kernel with Odin, but it may have become more difficult since the jelly bean update. Yes it is worth it because it's not that difficult and once it's done, it's done and you're free to do whatever you'd like.

7 Bowls of Wrath posted:New to the Sprint GS3, I haven't rooted it yet but am considering it (at the least to just remove the camera shutter sound). On ICS ROMs (e.g., LI3) you have to do the above, and edit "/system/build.prop" and change the "ro.camera.sound.forced" entry from "1" to "0". This is no longer necessary in Jellybean. Or you can just remove the sound files, which is also fine. 7 Bowls of Wrath posted:What is the consensus on a safe rooting method and a good custom recovery? The downside to the Odin approach is that it increases the device's flash counter ("custom binary count") which indicates to Samsung (and anyone who checks) that the device has been modified. There's rooting approaches that use exploits to avoid this, and there may also be methods to reset the flash counter. Personally I don't give a poo poo. 7 Bowls of Wrath posted:Is it even worth it to get CM10? The real benefit to running CM10 right now is to get an AOSP(ish) experience instead of TouchWiz. There's no major downsides, except that LTE handoff doesn't work well for everyone at present, and the CM10/AOSP camera blows compared to TouchWiz. But if you're happy with TouchWiz, you're not really missing a whole lot right now.

Until the 4.2 merge is complete, stock Jellybean and CM10 are more or less at parity with each other (4.1.1 vs 4.1.2, but meh). So far TouchWiz isn't as bad as I had anticipated, so I'm not going to bother going much deeper with it. You can still use goggle now on stock and with the other customization options that root provides, I don't think I will be wanting of much else.

I tried to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 4g (GT-I9305T) (Telstra) with super one click and Odin (the former didn't work, the latter... well, it didn't give me root access and the imei now returns as null/null, so I can't use the phone bit of the drat phone. Haven't installed any rom, obviously. I have been and am trawling the xda forums, but thus far haven't found any solutions that work. Help me goons, you're my only hope (to restore my phone to the basic, default way of living)!  (although I do still want to root it, I might hold off until somebody has a guaranteed Telstra s3 method) EDIT: Problem solved! Any other GT-I9305T users that have a similar problem, check out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1946915 under "Recovering IMEI And Data Connection After Flashing WRONG Root Package Intended For I9300".

For other Desire HD/Inspire 4G users: I just upgraded to Release 29 of Jellytime from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778202 It seems to use a lot less battery while just sitting in my pocket in low-signal areas than any previous rom I've had on the device (stock, gingerbread, or jelly bean) as well as being otherwise stable and fast and all that.

One annoying CM10 bug I've never noticed anybody mention: if you're in an app, and enter another app, either by clicking on a notification or with recent apps, if you back out of that second app, it'll toss you to the homescreen rather than back to the first app you were in. This isn't the intended Android behavior right?

Backed out of Messaging to the homescreen. Its not consistent, usually backing out of the browser after viewing a link from Awful for instance will bring me back to Awful.

So I did this last night, and just for everone's benefit, the "feature.xml" fix doesnt work for the stock GS3 camera, renaming the sound files worked though (system/media/audio/ui/). Thanks again for the tip on how to root. I have a question about root though, perhaps someone can help answer here. So with the GS3 I used odin to push clockworkmod as the custom recovery, I went in and flashed superuser from here. After a normal boot sequence it re-formats the custom recovery with the stock recovery again, and I keep root anyways. So if I re-set the counter of custom bootloader flashes, and uninstall the superuser app, will I return to "stock" without root access and no indication that the phone had been rooted?

So if you want to keep a custom recovery around, you'll either have to perform those steps manually, or find an "update.zip" that does them for you. But since you want to keep stock recovery, that's fine too. 7 Bowls of Wrath posted:So if I re-set the counter of custom bootloader flashes, and uninstall the superuser app, will I return to "stock" without root access and no indication that the phone had been rooted? Remember, should another OTA update come out, you'll have to revert the "feature.xml" change (which you can do now if you haven't already since the sound files are gone), and possibly replace the sound files for the OTA update to install. You'll also "lose root" unless you use one of those OTA RootKeeper things or a modified update package. Alternatively, you can install the OTA update, and redo the ClockworkMod and Superuser install, and that'll fix it too.

Unfortunately this is by design. There's a Google I/O video that explains exactly how the stack is intended to work and to be honest it's pretty drat confusing and kinda sucks for a multitasking OS. Any application you launch will utilize its own stack for navigation purposes. The application then launches Activities that add to the stack. The Awful example works because the stack looks like this: Launcher > Awful Activity > Browser Activity Switching apps using the recent apps drawer or the notification shade will start/reopen entirely new stacks. The only way that apps will go back to other apps via the back button generally involves you launching the second app from within the first one. But it gets even more complicated considering that apps can override what the OS back button does and that fucks everything up. (Browser will do this)
