Replaced phone. How long should I stay stock?

Just got replacement today. I'm wondering what would be a good time to keep it stock before determining it's safe to start flashing.

You can start flashing right away.

Flash ASAP

It all depends on how long you want to keep the phone!

Flashed nodata fl24 ics on top of stock fl24. No problems. Installed mobile Odin pro then tried flashing garwinn-sextape-agat 0.4.0 and after reboot, it would reboot itself after about two minutes of running. It did it when the phone was on regularly and when I was making a nandroid. Tried flashing with PC fl24 nodata again thinking it was the kernel/recovery. It still rebooted. I then flashed full no stock restore fl24 and everything settled down without reboots in hours. WTH?!

Yeah I'm a mess. I like the screen size and beauty and camera of this phone but love the radio performance of my "backup", a LTE phone.

Slap on some stock/rooted jb on there and it'll be just as good as your lte. :thumbup:

From my usage, and my area coverage of lte vs wimax, I get much better network performance out of the kyocera torque than the e4gt, I'm sorry to admit. Everything else is inferior to the e4gt though. I'm just biding time until the s4 comes out and I have enough saved to do my upgrade.

Damn. My replacement's speaker has an intermittent connection and has to be replaced again. Argh!

(Q) SECURITY Hole!!! anyone know how to fix?

I came across this video earlier today. It has to do with the lockscreen and then dialing a non emergency number. then when you back out it gives the user access to the home screen for a second.
Does anyone know how to fix/prevent this?

I do believe you can prevent this .... by using an AOSP based ROM.

So AOSP has this issue worked out. is there a way to disable the emergency dialer?
the problem with AOSP is you lose all the spen capabilities..

Physical access is the equivalent to root access on just about any piece of computer hardware. Lockscreen bug or not.

Funny thing is all you gotta do to get info from a locked device is odin twrp, backup data then extract the info from the backup. Anyone who's after data on a device and not the device itself is smart enough to know this. If they just want thw device all they need to do is boot to stock recovery and factory reset.

Thats what posts like the op's are for. What do you think will be all over google if u did a simple search on bypassing the s3 or note2 lockscreen. Hell i bet this thread is in the 1st page of results

I've been seeing a lot of posts about this but don't see the fuss. There are other ways to get the info if the phone is physically taken. If just get an app to wipe phone remotely, but I don't see the fuss myself. I myself prefer TW, so AOSP wouldn't be a fix for me of I wanted one, either. I think it's just paranoia, it'll be patched at some point in sure after all the press this is receiving.

We have a thread for this conversation already.. While the communication is appreciated and the OP is a tad misleading (there is a main reason that is known in the other thread of why this isn't going to be OTA and Sprint lists it as an Optional update), we don't need another thread to discuss it.

Software Update?

Just got the prompt. Anyone else?

What does the update message say? Just new software is available ?

May be MC2, it's source dropped a few days ago so it should be OTA soon.

Happened to me with LJC the day I finished my ROM, MA7 went OTA a month of work and BAM! Instantly outdated so no point in releasing, then MA7 wouldn't play nice with some of my mods. :thumbdown:

I know it was a pain in the ass. I'm still trying to port a few things over that are giving me some issues. :banghead: and now MC2 is rearing its ugly head. But being 4.1.2 still I can probably just dump most of my mods in this time without a bunch of extra work.

Well I am not touching it as I am rooted and will wait to make sure it is safe. I heard that it is only 27 Mb's and it is definitely MC2, so if anyone knows what was updated and if safe to take, let us know.

Did it download on your device already, pending installation? If so go to a root explorer and navigate to /cache and find the file and copy it out of the cache to ext sd and post its file name and size for us. Then find somewhere to upload the file so we can pull it apart and see what's new.

You mad? Hell... I have a ROM and 2 themes that will have to be updated... :banghead:

Looking for a good rom

Looking for the best 4.2 rom that's out right now. Yes I'm sure there all good but I want one that I can install reboot a couple times and not worry about battery life and etc. Help me out please my note still a virgin lol.
iTzAmazed on note 2

i haven't tried any aosp ROM yet but Mack's ROM is amazing....this thread's probably gonna be closed though......

I think you're looking for more a better kernal than a ROM. Kernals have bigger effect on battery than ROMs; although ROMs may use different kernals, and thus gives the appearance of the ROM being more battery efficient.
That's not to say you may not be interested in a different ROM. I would suggest trying Persues with a stock rom.
Towards ROMs, I personally only use deoxidezed stock. I have read and see JellyBomb and Whompass get many kudos. They're touchwiz based. May be a good place to start if you're interested in ROMs.
If you're looking for more AOSP, they're mostly in alpha and beta, but I would suggest checking Cyogenmod or ParaniodAndroid. They're on the hybrid model so you can have tablet mode of apps. Very interesting. Most things work, but not everything. As far as I know, I don't think any have Spen used. Obviously no mutliwindow, at least yet, since that's build into the framework of TouchWiz or other andriod modifications layers, and not Android itself.

Cool and thank you

1) at least I was consistent in all instances of using the same, and wrong spelling. 2) I'll write Webster and have it changed to so it''ll be spelled correctly in the future. Linux or Unix had it wrong..they just don't know it yet, LOL.
But the point was still true.
