Thanks very much.
But here are my questions, plz answer them all.
1. Whats the difference between flashing and rooting your phone? Do i need to root it before i flash it?
2. How can i erase the mod later if i dont want it anymore. maybe change back to samsung touchwiz?
3. What backup do i have to backup?
Is there any guide for that?
4. Is there any risk of damaging your phone if you root it or flash it? What could happen? And can you restore it to factory settings?
Thanks for the help man, i really appreciate it

1. Flashing mean u flash (upgrade or downgrade) ur OS version. Rooting mean u become a superuser for ur phone. If u don't know what is rooting for, u should looking into the forums...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397120
2. Flash to stock rom and unroot ur phone.
3. On stock rom u can backup using KIES. Or native backup from phone. On custom rom u can used CWM to made nandroid backup. ( look into forums )
4. Yes, a risk always.. but as long u follow the step from, it won't hurt ur phone.

If you are a beginner, I suggest not to flash cm9.
Its in beta
I recommend to use stock first, root it and tweak it.

Camera is a known problem
Gallery should work
Wifi is a fix for it

i927
Hi ... I am new on android devices and I am facing problems with the GPS in my country (Jordan "in the middle east") it takes ages to connect the GPS with IGO software for example, and sometimes it doesn't connect at all ... I think the best solution is flashing new os on the device but I am confused and don't know what is the best custom rom! my current software is ICS 4.0.4 I927UCLJ3 ...I want everything work wifi, bluetooth, keyboard light... etc
can anyone help me with that... I tried many times to flash a new rom but the problem is with the kernel... when i flash the kernel something goes wrong and the mobile keeps restarting... could you help this matter... please with the download links :crying:
thanks.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess you haven't done a search specific to the gps locking issue on ICS ...
assuming your phone is rooted i suggest you download es explorer.. you will need to modify /etc/gps.conf and sirgps.conf. the content can be found with a search..
otherwise revert back to stock gingerbread rom for everything to fully work.
Thx for reply... Yes u r ryt.. I am using cm 10.1 and there is a "sound bug" well i am waiting for the fix

yea that happens
just download the previous version of shpongle and replace the gallery.apk FROM THE PREVIOUS VERSION to the latest one
the apk file shud be in system/apps (inside ROM zip)
just extract gallery apk from previous version and install via this app http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2263431
or u can set permissions(waaay tougher for a newbie )

Are you stock unrooted, stock rooted, or custom ROM?

Would love to suggest something, but you need to provide a little more info:
Did this happen after you tried to root the device?
Is the ROM stock or...?
Has this been going on since you unboxed or since you accepted an OTA update?
Is it really EVERY app that is FC'ing or just a few (and consistently)?
Give us some details to work with and the quality of your answer will be better than "RMA it".
After an ota update when I rooted it it was all okay

Sorry for the noob question but if I flash a 4.4 AOSP ROM and then decide I don't like it can I just go back to a 4.3 ROM or is there a difference in the system that wouldn't let me do that because of ART? If I can then can you please also tell me what I need to do besides just flashing the ROM if anything else is needed?
