That's where things where going wrong for me I figured out. I got supernexus working, but didn't really get on with it. Did Cyanogen ever fix the media scanning in their 4.1? All I remember from it is my battery taking a dive due to that.

This is probably a long shot, but does anyone know of a HTC sensation 4g ROM that has the option for the on-screen buttons? After replacing the digitizer the capacitive buttons don't function anymore, but the phone would work great if I could use on-screen buttons instead. I haven't had any luck looking for one, I can't imagine it's a popular feature. It was an option on my motorola defy with the CM 10 rom however, so I know it's possible.

If you have a modern AOSP apparently this (warning: XDA) is supposed to be universal to any 4.1 AOSP ROM, no idea if it works on 4.2. edit: Some posts linking to that only call it universal for SGS3s, others seem to indicate overall universality. I can't see how it could gently caress anything up permanently though, so I'd say just nandroid, flash it, and hope for the best. Worst case is restoring from backup. wolrah fucked around with this message at 03:21 on Mar 14, 2013 |

I got tired of waiting for Verizon to get off their rear end and get me updates so I have been on CM10.1 for a while now. This is all a bit newish to me, what happens when they finally release the Galaxy Nexus OTA? Will I get an annoying notification or is it something that can be dismissed?

Just keep an ear to the ground when updates hit and you'll flash the radio just as you've been doing but you'll get no notification of a system update on the device itself. The radios are already up in the Verizon Galaxy Nexus section of XDA, I'm guessing from the testing version. I wasn't sure how the OTA thing worked since I was on stock the last time Verizon felt like releasing one.

Alright so I did something dumb and basically ruined the firmware. No big deal, I made a backup  Unfortunately I'm a big idiot and the only nandroid backup I have is on my PC (didn't make one with clockworkmod). I'm unable to go into settings to enable ADB, and I have a Galaxy Nexus (internal SD card) so seemingly no way to access /sdcard/ and put the backup there so I can restore it with ClockworkMod.Is there any way out of this or am I just boned?

IIRC ADB is always enabled in recovery for exactly this sort of thing. Some recoveries on some devices also support some form of USB mount or MTP, but no idea there.

Don't know why I didn't think to try that. e: using Nexus Root Toolkit to restore the backup didn't work because the phone got caught in an infinite FC loop while starting up. Gonna try to push the backup into the ClockworkMod folder and try restoring in CM, maybe that will work. If not, from what I can tell Odin Mode is basically a last resort for this sort of thing but I have absolutely no idea how to use that. e: yeah that didn't work. Looks like using Odin to reflash is my only option. Now I have to figure out how the heck to do that (and hopefully not screw anything else up) fisting by many fucked around with this message at 02:44 on Mar 15, 2013 |

They used to have poo poo like pit files and poo poo but if you just want to flash the factory image for your toro its pretty much a one file thing nowadays.

Bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 - I'm on Virgin Mobile, so it was the best available Android option - rooted it in like five minutes flat, it was super easy. Now I have exactly one issue. Whenever I go to turn off my phone, it pops up this helpful prompt:  ...and I would really really like it to go away. There's a similar one for "reboot phone", too. I know it's only one click, but I never hit those options by accident and I think I will reboot my phone enough over its lifetime to really justify digging into how to do it. Been trying to Google it for a while, but the prompt is so generic that it turns up a bunch of unrelated topics and nothing helpful. Is there an option to remove it that isn't "install custom firmware"? I want to at least get used to the default firmware before I do anything too radical. (That's the technophobe in me talking.)

You've already spent more time researching it than you would just hitting the button every time. Why are you rebooting your phone so often? I suspect you'd have to dig down deep into the framework to get rid of it and I doubt anybody knows how.

Honestly the first time you accidentally hit Power Off by grazing the screen on your way to mute the phone or whatever, you'll be pretty glad of that confirmation popup Anyway you could try *#*#7594#*#* in your dialler, it's supposed to give you options to do instant power-off (I'm guessing it turns the power button into a straight power button rather than a menu without confirmations) but it doesn't work on my GNex and I have no idea if this lets you switch back to normal either. What I'm basically saying is try it at your own risk!

Is there any general reason a rooted LG Optimus Slide would randomly reset itself when I plug it into the charger? It doesn't do it when I hook it to the computer, only the wall charger. I'll be doing something, usually on Awful Betamax or browsing the internet, and notice it's getting low and plug it in, and it almost invariably goes to the boot screen and acts like it's rebooting without, as far as I can tell, actually powering off. If I keep using it after it comes back up, it usually happens a couple more times, especially if I've got a lot of tabs open in Opera. I'm on Android 2.3.4, I can never remember what letter that is. Also my superuser app keeps telling me to update my su, then when I do it says the new one doesn't work. What's up with that?

I'm having some annoyances with trying to flash the latest CM10 ROM onto my galaxy tab 10.1. Its a PT-7500, I've currently gone from CM7 to the latest stock image and have been using clockwork mod to flash the new build. Problem is none of the nightlies will flash, I get an error regarding the p4 part of them. Based on reading Xda I'm guessing I'm missing the bootloader files or something for the newer builds. I've tried following the instructions there and flagging the new md5 files they list with Odin but it doesn't seem to make any difference. On a possibly related/possibly unrelated note, I don't seem to be able to upgrade the clockwork mod recovery on my device either. Its on 4.0.something and I've got the latest .zip. If I run that while in cwmr then it will update but on reboot I'm straight back into the 4.0 build. Again flashing that zip with Odin doesn't seem to help and I can't seem to get it to update from inside cwm while the using the tablet.

If you want WiFi tether, I believe it's broke on the S3 at the moment on Sprint. You can root it if you haven't already with this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1746680 That's a very simple way. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2044225 That should be the fixed Wifi tether for the S3 that also works on Sprint. If not let me know; even though it says TMobile I thought that was the one I used.
