Hi everyone,
I had a couple of root features that I used in ICS that I miss in JB (stock ROM with root) and can't get to work. I'm wondering if someone can help me out with alternatives.
(1) SD Card UMS (mass storage) mode: formerly provided by an app I downloaded here. The app doesn't work for JB and the author hasn't posted in a while, so something tells me I won't soon see an upgrade. Are there any alternatives for JB?
(2) Lockscreen NFC: Formerly provided by an app I got here. Tried to flash it onto JB, and it completely disabled all NFC capability. Any ideas how to make get this functionality back?
Thanks!
Wait for updates or switch to AOKP.

Hi guys,
is there any way to toggle directly between 2g and 3g without using the way over the settings-menu ? I've got a rootet device with 4.0.4 stock rom. On my modded xperia arc, with cyanogenmod, I was able to toggle directly via a switch on the notification bar.
Is there a zip-file or something like that which I can flash in order to get this function ? Btw, I want to keep my stock ROM.
I used the board search already, but I didn't found the info I needed for my GNex.
Thanks,
Mac
Unless you use a different rom, look for an app on the Marketplace.

Hi
I just bought a S3 yeah \o/
Now my question, im under BELL, the phone was originaly from ROGERS. So i have all the rogers app, booo.
I know Jelly Bean is coming soon.
So my question is :
If i Root, and install CM10 by exemple, i know the the original Rom in the S3 have a lots of nice tweek and option.
if i install CM10, will i loose all those option and tweek ? Or those should already be in CM10 ????
Other scenario, if i wait for BELL to push Jellybean, will it get all the rogers app out ? And be a real bell phone after the push ?
Thanks

What tweaks are you talking about? CM10 is based on AOSP so all Touch Wiz options are gone, for example all the Motion features are going to be gone, and the camera features and settings those are also going to be gone.
CM10 has its own features, but they are not the same as TW interface.
You will lose all of the "smart" features by flashing any cm10/aokp rom. You will also have all of the bloat apps from rogers removed.
another alternative would be to root the phone, and install titanium backup and just remove the bloat apps yourself using that app. If you wanted to keep all of the "smart" features.
Either way it is very simple to restore back to stock rom so you can receive the OTA jellybean update whenever it pops off. You simply download the firmware for the Rogers device (unrooted and stock recovery) and then flash that using odin and it will bring you back to stock so you can get the jb update.
**go here and search i747m and get the rogers stock rom if you ever wish to restore so you can get the ota jb update, even though when its released you will see a pile of roms built based off of it so you could just flash one of those to get jellybean goodness**

To get rid of rogers apps without root all I did was find them in application manager and disabled them.

To the OP, you can root and not have to try one of the custom roms. If you really like some of the samsung features then try one of the roms that is based on the samsung touchwiz roms. AOSP based roms like CM10 will be missing many of the little things that samsung put in their phones.
Sounds like you want all the Samsung tweaks, so I'd go with Drewgaren's rom, found in the android development section for this device. It's a great ROM but I still prefer CM10.
As a big camera guy, I REALLY like the Samsung camera app, but the AOSP setup is a lot cleaner, faster, is better with google services and more uniform looking... Currently JB AOSP based stuff isn't perfect either as there is no GS3 JB source, I've used AOKP a lot and really like it, but with searching for a new job I really need to make sure I have a stable and bug free phone.
I have a nandroid of both and swap back and forth occasionally... I'm crazy!

Jelly bean should be out for the AT&T S3 within the next couple of weeks.
definitly flash cm10. you'll loose touchwiz features like s voice, smart stay, ect because you are flashing an aosp rom. the advantage is that the rom is alot smaller and lighter so you get a huge speed increase and better battery life. if your worried about stability i can say from experience cm10 is currently much more stable than what i got from at&t out of the box.
make a nandroid before you flash so you can always flash back and recieve the ota when it comes out.
Hello.
Is there a stock AT&T firmware (rooted) without all the boat ? Something like "Clean ROM" ? I'm looking for this ROM and if it would have Google Wallet working, well .. that would be great! If this doesn't exist, what would be similar ?
Thanks in advance
You can try kyan rom i think that matches what you want perfectly
If you also want a slight speed increase you can try high on android.
Hope this helps

Alternatively you can just root your stock rom, if you havent already and then use the Debloater app to remove what you dont want/need.

Debloater Mod Thread
After rooting you can also install titanium backup and freeze or uninstall any apps you don't want
I'm using Truine II 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich from Alliance rom (available in the android development section)...it works flawlessly and it looks perfectly stock without the bloats...and also has awesome beats throw in, that never hurts...

Can I / Should I use CyanogenMod updates (found in System Settings, About Phone) to update from CM10.0.0 to CM10.1?
I got a notification saying "updates ready"
I am currently running CM10.0.0. The update is CM 10.1-20130121-EXPERIMENTAL
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
No, you need to manually update to Cm 10.1. This is because you need to do a full wipe when upgrading (System/Data/Cache/Dalvik). You will also need the newest version of GApps (12/12/12). Also consider what happens to your InternalSD when upgrading to a 4.2 ROM in regards to the /0 mutiuser partitions.

If you wanna make the jump, be sure to backup first. A full wipe will be needed.
You're currently on 4.1.2 so it's quite a big jump to 4.2.1 (a lot of new features, different UI, etc.) - Anyway, after a full backup, you should be good to update if that's what you want to do.
PS.: 4.2.1 has a borked BT audio streaming. If you use it a lot, there's a flashable zip called 'revert my alsa' in the CM10.1 thread to fix it.
Hey folks,
my Nexus 7 just arrived and I am wondering what the first steps should look like.
I am not completely unfamiliar with Android, as I owned a Samsung Galaxy a few years ago, but since then I didn't really have had any more contact with it.
What I'd like is to install a nice custom rom, which is simple yet good looking and has a good battery runtime, etc.
As far as I know the Google stock Android is rather smooth so it could also be a modified original rom. I'm not sure about de-odex vs. odexed. What would be preferable?
Can you suggest the best ROM for that purposes? Ideally it should have a readme on how to install
Also do I need to unlock bootloaders or root the phone in advance or does the custom rom does all that for me?
Thanks in advance and best regards,
daZza

WiFi, 2013 Version.
To start with I just installed the Google USB Drivers and that Android SDK ADT Package thingy (all-in-one with Eclipse, etc.). Hope that's right xD
Edit: wugfreshs' tool seems to be the way to go. However, I am still unclear on whether or not to update my N7 with the newest update? I just got a message that there are updates available...
Edit2: Well, seems easy enough to use. Driver Test was successful, so I'll just go ahead and unlock/root it. Would appreciate ROM suggestions though
If you don't want me be messing with it I'd say stock rooted is the way to go.
Odex files help apps load faster I believe, and Roms are de-odexed to allow customizations such as icons and theming.
I really recommend sticking with a stock rooted ROM. Android is so polished theses days I don't see the need to mess with a good thing.

It's basically Stock but with minor improvements (pre-rooted, init.d support, slimmed down etc.)
Well if I was you the first thing I would do is update my stock rom then the next thing I would do is root the tablet with the Nexus root toolkit toolkit provided by WuGFresh.
Use the root toolkit to install the USB drivers then to unlock the bootloader there to root your Nexus 7 tablet
After your tablet is rooted load up the Google Play Store and download the app multi rom manager this app will allow you to to install Multi rom which will allow you to install multiple roms on your Nexus 7 tablet and it will also install TWRP recovery manager for you as well.
When you have multirom installed you can add a second third or fourth rom without ever touching or harming your stock ROM. As for a custom ROM I just flashed CyanogenMod 11 on my Nexus 7 2013 model Flo WiFi only tablet. Just download the latest nightly to get Android 4.4.1 or you can go with 10.2 for a "stable" ROM but the nightly is working great.
When you flash CyanogenMod don't forget to flash Google apps the GApps zip file.
As for adding ROMs with multirom you can do a YouTube search for the exact steps...bit it is quite easy. CyanogenMod or CM rather is the Cadillac of Android Roms and looks/runs great.
As for others I would probably recommend AOKP I have heard good things about it...
Many people like Paranoid Android. I tried it but did not care for it. I did not care for the rom not being rooted, but that is just my opinion.
You can't go wrong with CyanogenMod ROM.
Hope it helps and congrats on getting your N7.
