Syrinxx posted:This is a rooted/zipaligned/deodexed rom which retains all the S-Pen & multiwindow stuff and optionally has some nice additional toggles and uses Aroma for a lot of other install options such as custom kernels (edit: this may have changed and you might need to go get your own kernel and flash it but no big deal). It's a significant step up from US Stock versions. O cool this is what I'm looking for, however I was wondering if this works with the Sprint version of the Note 2 (I'm sorry I should have specified that to begin with)

madkapitolist posted:I am having a very strange issue. I've had my ATT S3 since launch day and was able to root it/ install CM within minutes and have been using it/ installing nightlies/ etc with nearly zero issues. Today I tried to root and install cm10 for my friend's fully stock ATT S3 and I followed this guide Usually that only happens when it's not actually an AT&T S3, mine is a i-747M, which is a Canadian S3 that's identical to d2att except it's a d2can instead. In my case changing d2can to d2att was fine, but if it reads something else then it's probably not compatible with a d2att rom.

So I checked the "ro.product.device == d2att" line and it indeed does read "d2att" but I am still getting that status 7 error, what else would cause it?

Thanks for the tip, I've never tried twrp before but it looks much more impressive than CWM. Will give it a shot. VVV: would failure to do so cause the status 7 error? Update: Using twrp recovery/ goomanager was much smoother and everything worked out fine. Thanks for the tip goons. madkapitolist fucked around with this message at 20:14 on Feb 6, 2013 |

LeftistMuslimObama posted:How feature complete/stable are the latest CM 10.1 nightlies? LTE/eHRPD handoff is a problem with the d2 series, the crux of the issue being whether the carrier requires IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack or supports IPv4 only. For example, Sprint and Verizon use the "opposite" setting, and while handoff is fine with the correct setting for either carrier it becomes awful if it's wrong. In other words, if you're having handoff issues on a smaller carrier that CM has little LTE experience with, the settings could be off and you're encouraged to post an issue about it on CyangenMod's JIRA.

There's too many ROMs and devices for a single post to be really useful, outside of some really basic stuff you're better off just asking. Basic root information that shouldn't go out of date ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP. Nandroid can restore a phone exactly to a previous state, titanium backup for migrating apps/data across fresh installs. CyanogenMod is good if it's available on your device. Close to stock android with improvements AOKP is similar but with pink unicorns I guess? ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP. If you want to root/install roms get a nexus device No you didn't brick your phone. ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP

Always try to hunt down a stock image for your device. If you do something stupid (which you will, even by accident) you'll need a way to scrub your phone back to a factory fresh image. 2. Just pay for Titanium Backup. The batch feature alone is worth the price. 3. From 4.1 onwards you'd be surprised how well a stock-rooted phone can perform if you remove bloat and install the right apps. 4. If your backups reside on your phone, keep a copy on your PC or preferred Cloud Storage as well. 5. An unlocked bootloader is different from a SIM unlock which is different from rooting which is different from installing a ROM.

I was mostly looking for recommended things to get now that my phone's rooted, actually. A good guide to what bloat to remove + helpful apps would particularly be nice. (I did want to try Cyanogen, but apparently basically nothing supports Kyocera Rise, a fact that absolutely SHOCKS me  )

Bloat to remove is heavily dependent on phone and carrier. Getting Carbon or Titanium Backup should be tops on your list (and Carbon is usable without root too). After that AdAway. Beyond that it's really up to what you want to do. Backups and ad removal are the main reasons to root beyond customizing the OS. And with Carbon out now you don't even need root for the backups most people use. App wise a lot of what used to be root only has non root options or is built in these days (like screenshots, app backups, and phone as a flashlight mentioned in the OP), so if you don't care about ad blocking or customizing the OS there's not much reason left to root. Of course I can't stand not having ad blocking, and that's one I'm not expecting no-root support for anytime soon besides maybe browser extensions which takes care of a fair amount of it.

I rooted and installed 4.2.1, but it turns out that What'sApps vibrate on notification is broken. Has anyone gotten this before? Any app that would fix this? Also I used Titanium Backup a few years ago on my Nexus One, never liked how it interacted with synced data to my Google account, I'd end up with duplicate contacts and other stuff.

Exactly, there's almost no reason to restore system data. If you're using the same exact ROM you're probably trying to wipe and eliminate a problem anyways, which restoring system data won't help at all.

Okay, so maybe someone here can help me, because the XDA forums are written by people who assume everyone knows what's up. I've gotten my AT&T SGS2 i777 rooted. I'm trying to figure out how to put CWM on there, but everything I get is either "use Odin!" which appears to have done nothing for me, just like when I tried to root it using that, or "use Rom Manager!" which the XDA forums all poo poo over themselves yelling at me to not use. And I'm told I definitely want to make a backup before I do anything else. So what do I do?

Thanks mate. I'm using an aosp build though on a galaxy s. I'll poke through xda again and see what I can find, although I'd prefer to stay on base aosp. Also wasn't the draw of Titanium making a full backup that you just hit a button and restore everything with no hassle.

That's what a NANDROID backup in recovery is for, when you're flashing a new ROM and want to make a total backup incase something fucks up. Titanium Backup is more useful for keeping all your apps and their data between new ROMs/phones.

Well, I'm backing up all my system data and user app data with Titanium Backup Pro. I downloaded Clockwork Mod, but it's telling me that my device isn't supported for CWM Recovery. However through google searching I've found a lot of people who are successfully using CWMR on their TF700 along with some websites for instructions for installing CWMR. Is CWMR the goto custom recovery option?

Official CWM builds are here: http://www.clockworkmod.com/rommanager They are device specific. Is the TF700T different to the TF700? I have no idea. The other popular recovery is TWRP, found here: http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/105 Same thing as above applies regarding the model number. Edit: I think the T just stands for Tegra. Maybe someone else can confirm.
