They should be in nandroid folder. Try digitalkarma v7.77 and classic rom.

Battery percentage

Quick question what do I have to do to get my phone to show the battery percentage over top of the battery. Is there a specific Rom or theme that I need to flash?

Idk if this is your taste or if u have space on your home but u can try battstatt. I like it and fits in well with my bg pic
You have to be using a deodexed ROM, I'm using the deodexed stock 2.2 from steelh and it was a piece of cake to change this. Just put it on the sdcard and flash it like you would a rom.

There are also different versions for Cyanogen, Fresh & a few other ROMs scattered throughout the thread

Sweet thanks... last question... running this.. will it wipe my phone? As in factory reset it basically?
Thanks again
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
The battery mod wont delete anything and the ROM wont delete your sd card but it will start up like a brand new phone afterwards. Just use Titanium backup to backup all your apps and it can reinstall them all for you afterwards.
Okay so the Rom will reboot phone like new(factory reset).. and have to redo settings and apps... thanks...

Sense 2.1 ROM with sense 3.0 messaging?

Is there any way to install sense 3.0 messaging in a sense 2.1 ROM?? I'm currently running mikg 2.56 and its awesome but I don't like the 3.0 lockscreen...I have a sense 2.1 ROM ready to flash but I'd like to have 3.0 messaging...any suggestions? If possible I'd like to use root explorer cause I don't have a computer handy at the moment. Thanks in advance.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
One thing you can do is go to settings, display and at the bottom click on the stock android lockscreen and it will change to the tab lockscreen. Hope this helps

You could try pulling the message apk from mikg and then push it to the system partition on your new Rom and install it.

[ROM] T-989D Stock system dump

I finally got a CWM system dump. I can put it as a .rar file but how can I upload it here?
Just upload to Multiupload or any other file hosting website.

TAR or ZIP is more accessible, but any filetype, just upload it to Multiupload. I'd hella appreciate it as well!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
yeah Im uploading it right now. This is the file you put in the root directory of your external SD card. once you boot into CWM you go into backup and restore->restore-> and it should be there.
Just unrar and copy the clockworkmod folder straight to the external SD root.
I must say tho the T-Mobile juggernaut custom rom is way better than the Telus Rom. yes it gets stuck on the 3G symbol but it is actually 4G speeds. So far the best I have is juggernaut with the stock t989d kernel in the dev section. best internet speeds and smooth as hell. quadrants are not great but who cares when the phone feels great fast and battery life is awesome.
right on id like to take a look at the telus rom
here you go guys enjoy. Hey Mr. X let me know if you find something juicy. i am glad to help

PS. hey Mr X is there a way you can finish that t989d stock kernel we were talking about in a CWM .zip format. I will really appreciate it

Yah sorry i had forgotten about it.
Is there any possibility of this stock system dump being converted into a CWM flashable stock ROM? I'd like to try other ROMs, but AFAIK I can only restore the kernel to stock, not the entire ROM yet.
So if I root and flash my TELUS gs2x, will this take me back to stock rom via Odin?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda premium
Awesome! I flashed a 3rd party ROM without backing up the original, only to realize 4 ROMs later that I preferred the original ROM better than all of them... So I restored using your dump and flashed a jugs kernel over it and I'm quite happy with it so far.

Go here. Download the fus cgecker/Downloader. It allows you to check for latest firmware for any Samsung phone and download a system dump, even pull off your phone.

[Q] Any roms that aren't CM?

I have the LGOG and I'm flashing it to Boost Mobile. I need a ROM that doesn't have CM or if it does have CM it needs to have the diag port. Also I've been informed after it's flashed I CANNOT flash a ROM to it again. So if anyone is feeling nice and could inform me of the MOST stable and feature packed ROM for this phone I would be eternally grateful.
Thanks so much!

use lifeless,venom, or imperium those are your stock based choices found in the development section...unless you go with the actual stock rom... majority of our ROMs right now are aosp/cm based.. I might have left out a stock based choice... if I did it's cause those are only ones I've flashed

Thanks so much for your quick response. I noticed that most of the ROMs are in fact CM AOSP or AOKP and my flasher said neither would work. Going through the recent posts of ROMs I noticed most didn't mention what they used as source. So I figured I'd ask.

Since it won't let me edit my post, I have a followup question. After the phone is flashed to Boost will I be able to flash another ROM? My flasher says I can't flash it after its flashed to Boost.

honestly I don't know... but do somee research on flashing to another carrier not just for this phone but others and see if they are able to do it... but all in all if they say don't do it I wouldn't do it... no telling what/how they're going to flash you to another carrier so I would take their advice unless in your research you uncover something that debunks indefinitely what they're telling you
If I remember u can flash different roms but u need a back up of ya data settings such as aakey n all them important things

Can you help me flash this phone over to Boost? I'm getting all of the required progams, I was just going to do it myself but I think I'm going to need help. I have CDMA Workshop, QPST 2.7.355, QXDM 3.11.36, and WinHex. Just looking for some help. Really trying not to pay someone more than $25 to do this when I can almost do it myself.

Flashing modems?

Ok now that I'm confident in my ability to flash ROMS and Kernels in the new Linux 3.0 & 3.4 versions that came with JB, is there anyone who could help me out with finding modems and flashing them and what each modem is for and etc? I really don't understand the new system as i came over from the OG EVO and from what i understand thus far, its not exactly the same as flashing radios as it was with GB or ICS. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Tried looking through stickies but couldnt find anything.

This thread will guide you http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38172219
Posts #1 through #5 where you will find links to modems. LJ7 and MD4 seem to work best. But these devices are not like HTC devices so don't put that much concern into it.

Won't really work on the S3... Best and easiest thing to do is make a nandroid then flash tw rom update prl and profile and then restore nandroid
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
Ok, was just curious about that. I know about the nandroid backup and all. Its basically the same as it was with the old aosp/sense system. But thanks a lot for your help. And hopefully I'll see an improvement in my signal strength and quality. Do you have any other tips that could help?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Nope other than stick to TW roms, signal strength will be better and lte, 3g exchange is much better.
Sent from the future via Tapatalk 4
Yea well it wouldnt make too much of a difference with 3G and LTE considering I'm in an area that doesnt have LTE coverage yet. And just curious here, but the synergy port from verizon IS considered a TW rom right?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
yeah no lte it makes no difference. I don't know about synergy but just look in the OP it's either TW, AOSP or AOKP. If you don't have to flash gapps it's TW.

Since the update to the 3.4.x kernel the scripts don't work anymore. Flash a TW ROM and follow those instructions
