Why do we have to post ten times before we can post in the development section? not trying to be an ass, but I wouldn't be wasting everyones time with this post if I could just post where I wanted. I have been a tester since first picked up an android (samsung moment) and realized it had severe data lockup issues.
I just want to get these out of the way so I can be part of the community. I don't want to throw up stupid posts where they don't belong. I do use the search box. All the time. Otherwise maybe I could post about things other people have posted about several times. I hate it when I have something relevant to say and I am blocked by technicalities.
Because it keeps people from posting non development threads in three development section. It really isn't that hard to make 10 posts. It can be anywhere on xda.

You'd be surprised how many less questions are posted in the development section since they stayed the 10 post rule. It is what it is & it'd be nice of it could go case by case, but it can't, so just keep posting.

Well the sooner I can get these out of the way, the happier I'll be. I don't mean to be a whiner. At least they don't make us do recap puzzles like on sdx.

I try not to post in questions anyway. If I have something to say, I usually try to post in the thread that makes the most sense.

I get the reasoning but I also agree with you.
It is the few though that abuse or just refuse to look for the information that ruin it for the rest.

Hey I actually do have a question, but it is about xda not the epic g2. This has been bothering the hell out of me. Is there a way to set the time on my profile or something? Xda time is 5 hrs ahead and it throws me off every time I look at it.
And thats ten. Sorry to waste anyones time here. Feel free to delete this thread. This will be the last time I post something this useless.

Not everyone has intelligent posts in the beginning. It also emphasizes the importance of being on topic in development section. I wonder WTF time zone this goes off of as well. I am in Cali and it says the next days date early in the evening. Anyone trying to get their 10 posts have an answer?? Lol

that being said, i've never seem tdj post anything that spoke poorly of his character. i've 3 kids & i'm sure i wouldn't have his patience & temperament dealing with what gets directed at him around here. and i'll agree with you on one thing...i would miss his roms if they were no longer available

Attention users!
Around our community, I have been seeing a lot of people having problems with the carrier / Chameleon error from switching between LJ1 / LJC / LK8 / MA5 roms.
This error happens when you boot your phone.
It starts the Hands Free Activation, and then the Chameleon Force Close happens.
With this flashable .zip, that will happen NO MORE!
This is an LJC Carrier Restore.
We have this awesome fix made by Garwynn (Tested by -EVil KoNCEPTz-) and it works like a charm.
Just flash this .zip file in TWRP or CWM and BOOM, Chameleon errors gone!
http://www.mediafire.com/?87k042cy13hb1yc
If you want more information on the fix or just want to look at the original posts, here are the original threads provided by Garwynn:
Original thread that (Garwynn) somewhat hijacked - sorry:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2062499
Start around Post #60.
First fix post - moves both to LK8 version:

Second fix post - moves both back to LJC version:

All credit for this fix goes to Garwynn and his tester -EVil kONCEPTz- !
Thank you guys so much, Chameleon error was becoming a nuisance.

All credit goes to Garwynn for this fix, permission was given.
I'm giving my blessing to this post as I hijacked another's thread for it.
Besides, my original posts attached them as ZIPs into the thread.
OP,
Please make sure to repost both ZIPs from the original thread if you're going to post.
Make sure they know which carrier build they will flash depending on ZIP.
Other than that you're good in my eyes.

Okay thanks, will update OP now.
EDITED out of respect for EK and G.
Nice of Garwynn to give his approval.
Thanks Garwynn and Evil K for that fix.

Yea garwynn and I both gave the OK. I was intending to start a thread for it and, well you know, life got in the way and I forgot about it.
I like to break stuff!
As you probably know, I'm still fairly new to xda and developing.
What happened before was dumb on my part for not knowing rules and such, and users took it out of proportion seeing as things like that don't happen much here.
I've proceeded to apologize to the developer and he accepted my apology.
You have my word, whatever I post here on out with be official and regulated.
As I stated before, still pretty new to the developing community.
I'm currently working on some projects of my own as a starter. (Mods, rom, etc.)
My reason behind starting a new thread for this topic is because I've seen numerous users having problems with the chameleon error, so I took the initiative to ask if I could post this purely to help and inform other users.
What happened before was a 1 time thing.
I still expect respect as I give it.

When I first installed MA5 I got Chameleon stopped errors 4 or so times while the phone was first booting up, but as far as I can tell it didn't hurt anything.
On subsequent reboots and a couple of nandroid restores back to my old rom then back to the new one, it never happened again, and my phone seems to be fully working, including calls and txt.
So it was a very transient error that fixed itself just by rebooting or maybe even just by waiting.
Given that, do we know that a more invasive fix is even really necessary? Does it not clear after a reboot for some people? What does it break?
Also a description of what this fix does would be nice. People should not flash things without some idea of what it will actually do and how it will do it.

The error only applies if you revert to LJC/LJ1 after going to LK8/MA5. If you don't do this, you won't see it and you can move along without concern
For those going back you will have an issue as LJ1/LJC use an earlier SQLite DB version in the carrier partition than previous versions. Chameleon.apk in those earlier builds doesn't know how to handle it and so it crashes.
There are two solutions to this: Move chameleon to the new version to match the new DB version (which is Fix #1) or revert the carrier partition - which can be flashed by Odin but Sammy doesn't make an image for some reason - to LJC. (Fix #2)
One person reported that deleting the partition contents also forced a rebuild, but I'm personally not a fan of that option. No guarantee without seeing for myself that it rebuilds properly.
Great Post Regardless...Somehow I missed the Orig post anyway..LOL Thatnks to Gar and all who was involved...
Thank you for the excellent summary!

It also means my chameleon errors were probably not from installing ma5 but from when I temporarily reverted to a nandroid just to export txts and call logs.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Yes, there has been a post that has the actual coding in it for the fix so devs can implement it into the roms themselves.
Im sure it'll pick up soon and there wont need to be a flashable .zip.

Hey, just be glad garwynn and I were able to find that damn database error. I had poked around for a few weeks trying to figure it out then we dumped some logs from my phone during multiple errors and then again after updating chameleon and found the mismatched sqlite versions which were wreaking havoc on the chameleon apk and HFA. Basically every reboot the phone thought it was deactivated cuz it couldn't verify auth data in the carrier db's. Thanks for getting the thread up finally
PS. Next time someone posts something of mine with credit in the OP, trying PMing me before you rip the poster apart or just don't even bother saying anything at all. I don't GAF about credit or thanks, I do what I do for myself and just share because theres no point in hoarding my work. If I have a problem with someone posting my work I'll deal with it. I don't need people berating others for posting my work on my behalf. Honestly I'd be more pissed at others reactions than the person who posted my work. Thanks for your cooperation, now please edit all the unnecessary bashing of the OP and apologize for jumping all over them when it wasn't your place to try and get involved with something that was privately dealt with between the proper parties prior to being posted here. The OP did me a favor by posting this for us since I've been busy and hadn't gotten around to it, and this directly benefits everyone on this forum. Anyone who doesn't edit and apologize will be noted, and I will no longer help you or click your thanks button out of sheer principle. Thanks for your cooperation. :thumbup:

Why yes I did, but all they are is people saying stop asking. I don't see any actual answers or what is missing. I am not asking for ETA's or anything like that, this isn't my first day. But it just seems like this phone is about dead on the development side. The ATT seems to have much more of a following.

We have a lot of great devs and they work really hard behind the scenes they just don't like to be bugged or asked a lot. Thanks for being mature about this thread unlike some others. Yes it's on it's way, yes our devs are working hard. All we can do is let them work
As for what's missing I'm not the best to ask but up until know I'm pretty sure we were waiting on JB source, which just dropped last week
What's not working: nfc, GPS, camera, issues with efs & screen shadowing
Can we go one day? Just one day without a thread like this.

Its great to support your xda developers, all he has to do is follow the application process with his development work once they open the app process again. Im sure hes well aware and has without question put the work in to be accepted, but xda doesnt exactly have a petition process. Its up to the developer to follow the proper procedures to have their xda status changed.

Xda removed my RT title for unjust reasons and after I appealed it they still gave no reason! I doubt I will contiue to upload work to a website that doesnt appreciate the 100,000 plus downloads, over 1,000,000 views on 1 rom and all the free work I post here.
My profile shows 1 infraction they are saying 2? Gave no reason for the second one so who knows. I was called every name in the book and all I said was I hope they choke, thats it! I see devs do a hell of alot more vulgar things on here!

When I got my S4 I was a little worried about the available ROM's but evil has put together something really nice and has something for everyone.
He has several things in his ROM's that I had never seen before and they all work as they were intended. I have installed several ROM's over several devices. It would be a very good thing to see evil get RD status, his work is amazing.

Even better the thread activity is almost never bug related. XDA is weird. A lot of very contributive members have been denied RC status even. Mods are getting crazy here. Its a development site for developers to develop and share. If you are developing, and sharing, who is to say that a person is not a developer. Whatever.
