No crashes, random reboots, etc. I've been on his ICS since April and love it. In a pleasantly surprising follow-up, the JB builds are now pretty much as usable as ICS is/was. Main camera live preview is sometimes weird (looks like there's an interlaced overlay when this happens), though it doesn't affect actual photos and rotating the view seem to fix it. FFC and WiMax are still no-gos, but those are just as irrelevant to me as they were on ICS.

Hello folks, I am interested in rooting and trying out CM10 on my AT&T Galaxy S3. http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_III_(AT%26T):_Full_Update_Guide I was going to use that guide to get me there. I am curious, if I root and install a custom recovery loader, etc, new ROM, will I be able to ever go back to a completely stock phone and stock loader, in case something happens to the phone where I need to take it in for service? Kind of like on an iPhone where you can just reinstall iOS and be good to go?

Yes, you should be able to flash to a stock ROM using Odin or whatever if you run into problems. The phone does have something that will set a flag if it detects that someone has flashed a new ROM, so keep that in mind if case something happens to the phone and you want to flash everything back to stock to get under warranty. There are ways around it on the XDA forums but it is probably easier just to assume that your warranty will be void as soon as you start flashing things. I just got an ATT SGIII a couple days ago and will probably look at putting CM10 on it sometime soon since the sheer amount of bloatware is already making me crazy. Let me know how it goes. e: The last page talks about warranties and flash counters so you should look at that. But yeah, you should be able to get back to stock pretty easily if you want to.

Anyone who uses better battery stats have any idea what DirectTrack is? Its been preventing my phone from going in to deep sleep for a few days now. I'm running CM10 nightly from 9/26 on an SG3

You can type in anything you'd like to know more about and it will give a list of links to things that might be relevant to what you typed. When you come across something you don't know, like in this case "DirectTrack", you can just type those words into the box in the center of the screen. I did that and the very first link was something that explained all of this and more.

So if I want to go from stock ATT SG3 to CM10 without tripping the counter is this the best way to do it? 1) Odin the rooted stock version on the XDA forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426) 2) Install CWM 3) Have CWM app install the nightly CM10 build Or am I missing a step here? For reference I'm coming from the first Galaxy S which had its share of problems but was incredibly easy to flash stuff to.

So I'm trying to figure out how to root my AT&T SGS2 that I've updated to ICS, but the guides are a little, uh, daunting and don't really seem to explain things well (to me). The ones for rooting it originally do, but I don't know if ICS will gently caress it up!

Avoid formatting any partitions from the recovery menu in the process. You should be able to flash and have it work without wiping anything, but it's worth noting. Once you've verified that it's working you'll want to flash a new kernel in case you ever need to wipe a partition, since Samsung kernels have a bug which will damage the flash memory during the formatting process.

Despite googling all over the place I wasn't able to find any relevant information about it in search results, but after poking around on XDA it appears to be a pretty wide spread issue.

Anything I can do to repay your kindness, just let me know. In any case the descriptions of the problems in the xda thread seem to indicate that CM10's DirectTrack and DirectTrack the analytics firm are unrelated (especially since the wakelocks are audio-related even when using Google's Play Music and I'd consider it unlikely that Google is using someone else's analytics). It appears to be an unfortunate naming coincidence in what CM's audio layer is calling a certain process as evidenced by three commits from 25th: Change I3434bfdf: audioflinger: Add support for post proc effects in Direct Track Change I4d931bfa: libhardware: Add new APIs to support effects with DirectTrack Change Iafa7611f: libhardware_legacy: Add APIs to support effects with DirectTrack I haven't noticed the same since those commits (maguro) but it would be nice to know if other SGS3 variants are seeing the same thing. It might be wise to roll back to pre-9/25 until the issue gets resolved.

I'm using a rooted Nexus 7 with Nova Launcher, and was hoping I could find a command with ROM Toolbox or something to toggle the auto-rotation setting. I want to be able to link it to the rotate-clockwise/counterclockwise gesture as a way to lock/unlock the homescreen rotation. I find I have issues with leaving auto-rotate on all the time and pulling down the notification bar seems clunky for that purpose. Any ideas?

Anyone still using a rooted Evo 4g? Person im staying with has one, And its awful on gingerbread. Any GOOD ICS/JB roms that are honest daily drivers? 4G totally not an issue because well, wimax. Miui Looked promising, And its ok looking and I guess it would be ok. Its just anything but gingerbread would be so much better. Id really like something ASOP as possible, is CM kinda "the" way to go with the old evo? Because even stock gingerbread is ugly as poo poo, and we're trying to lay off the skins and poo poo this time around. And gently caress gingerbread.

If it's that god awful then pay for a new phone for them, until that point quit bitching about how awful gingerbread is. It's perfectly serviceable on an older device. Any ICS rom will likely be plauged with the same issues that long have been issues on the G2 until very recently. Ergo nonfunctional video recording, graphical glitches, retention of app root privileges, and so on. Expecting any of the latest AOSP editions to function on older devices from the Evo/Incredible/G2 era without extremely dedicated and talented developers to write kernel code and component interface code from scratch is asinine. I literally only got onto ICS in the last month thanks to such talented developers. However the base code for CDMA radios is likely to never entirely exist.

Put CM7 on it. The Nexus S and the Evo 4g are completely different devices in far to many ways for them to be compatible in the software department. At the most basic, you have a totally different SoC powering each. So no, there is no way for them to "run a similar build" since they're completely different phones in nearly every way. Please refer yourself to the following stats pages courtesy of GSM Arena http://www.gsmarena.com/htc_evo_4g-3427.php http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_google_nexus_s_4g-3884.php Your statement would be more accurate if you were talking about the Captivate/ (GSM)Nexus S. Edit: Oh I just remembered something. GPS on Cm7 is somewhat wacky. A buddy of mine has the Evo and has experienced a lot of issues over time with GPS being spotty as gently caress. Keep a flashable file of the latest rooted OTA on the SD card in the event you have to flash it to re-establish EFS data. You can find many of the roms you'll need here and here MC Hawking fucked around with this message at 05:13 on Oct 2, 2012 |

So solid that I am not upgrading my phone even though I have my upgrade available, waiting for the next google phone release cycle. I get issues with maps/gps occasionally, but it usually arises from me leaving maps open with the screen on for a long period of time (plugged in in the car for example). It doesnt happen if I am using navigation. I personally think it is an overheating issue, but YMMV. Everything else works well as far as I can tell, I bought a new battery a few months ago and the battery life is finally back to 1 charge/day. Also a question about my wife's GS3: Could be the wrong thread, but the constant notifications from roaming guard, and "select input method" is a persistent ICS/JB feature, and not a result of samsung touchwiz, correct?

So are their really no apps for Android that can query a battery for load cycles, age, and actual maximum mAh capacity? All the battery apps seem to display info obtained from the OS, and not the battery hardware directly. One of the neat things I like on MacBooks, iOS devices, and some PC Laptops is the ability to query the battery hardware directly to give me info on design capacity, current capacity, load cycles, etc.

I'm gonna flash CM onto my GSM Gnex as I've had it for a while now and I feel like tinkering with it. Should I go with the nightly builds? I'm not sure I'll be bothered enough to flash a new rom every night unless there's an automated way to do it (I have no idea), so is it worth me just going with the stable or experimental builds?

My TF201 doesn't have any Monthly builds yet, and is perfectly stable on a nightly from 9/30. I'd go with either the M1, wait for M2, or the latest nightly. Then just update with each M release, or grab a new nightly once every week or two. One thing you have to understand about CM's nightlies are that their definition of Nightly is far above and beyond what even most Release Candidate builds are. That and the fact they're already built on top of a stable ASOP build, there isn't much risk in running a nightly. They say things "might break" and that nightlies are "experimental" and untested, but really the only things that aren't stable are the features that CM adds on top of the default JB, but even those I've rarely had any issues with.
