Okay, so me and my brother both have android smartphones, but I got a new Galaxy note 2 and I need help flashing over to it, and then helping him flash over to my old phone because his screen is messed up. If anyone out there is good at flashing phones, could you please message me and help me out? It would be greatly appreciated. :fingers-crossed:
What are u trying to flash to ?

Sounds like you want to activate a new phone and activate your old phone for him and this should be in Q&A.

Does anyone know how to do this that can help me out?

We mostly do android development around here. Plus what your asking can also reach into taboo topics on this forum. You might wanna look elsewhere on a different forum for that.
Edit: Ok, i'm gonna be nice (mods don't yell at me) First of I AM NOT going to explain how, but I will tell you what you need to do. You need to look into what is called ESN swapping. You need to be aware that this subject is in a legal grey area and is not discussed very openly and not at all on this forum. My recommendation would be to find another carrier that supports using that phone without changing the ESN. They are out there, and sometimes cheaper. Good luck with whatever you do, but trying to get this phone on your carrier involves things we don't discuss here and that are possibly illegal.
Again, mods, i'm just being nice, but trying to stay within the rules.
Okay, Thanks!

Figured out the answer to my question.
I assume you mean the notification bar... and there wouldn't be any way to remove it without rooting. Even with rooting I'm not sure its possible outside a completely custom ROM.
Why would you want to remove it anyway? Its a great part of android...

*edit*
I've figured it out. This thread can be closed.
What was the point of deleting your post? I hate when people do that. What if your question and subesquent discovery of the answer helps someone with the same question? Deleting your question doesn't take it off the thread, just let the original content slowly fade off into the XDA abyss like the rest of them that don't get responses.
Because it was simple overlook on my part. My launcher already had the option it was worded differently than others. So yes there is a point in closing it as there was no outside solution found by me. Plus there is another thread of the same topic posted that people can look at for a solution.

Thanks for the introduction "New Guy". Glad to see you on board. I'm the "Old Guy". Unfortunately I have no programming experience or dev experience, but I have extensive knowledge of Android and I try to answer everyone's question especially if I know the answer. Any questions? Lol

Welcome aboard! If you have any questions like you said that you can't find in the forum feel free to ask in the appropriate section. If you have coding experience as far as development you should definitely jump in on the DEV section to get this thing rooted. Either way hope you enjoy your stay at the wonderful XDA!
(aww yeauh, that rhymed )
Welcome! I am new to XDA and relatively new to Android. I share the same background as you, I think we're in the right place!

Hey guys, I recently got a S2x. It's been great, however I've run into a problem today..
I tend to disable 3G/data to save battery and stay on EDGE however this afternoon after I turned on 3G again, my phone just doesn't connect back onto 3G and is stuck on EDGE..
Does anyone have a problems like this?
Wrong forum bud flaming starts soon... nd for data? I say try rebooting then changing it to WCDMA ONLY then if it catches 3G then it should work then switch bsck

Yes wrong place to ask...but before dismissing you away....
Try turning airplane mode on instead, and forget about that data stuff. You shouldn't be having apps that are hungry for updating all the time anyway.
Sorry about wrong forum..
Anyone has any idea though?.. It was worrking perfectly fine until this afternoon when i switched on data again..
No one help him/her.
OP, I don't know what you think of these forums, but rules are to be respected and followed. This is such a basic question that really needs to be in the Q/A section. Period. This section is for development work only, even says so in the title.
It would have been better if you searched for your question, but you didn't even look for the appropriate forum.
/thread end.

Hey its okay you made a mistake dont worry about it. Listen if you look at the top of the development fourm where you posted this it tells you who the moderators are. pm one of them and ask them to move this thread to the q&a fourm. People here are a little touchy when it comes to posting in the wrong fourm because well you know they are perfect and dont make mistakes.
I need help to unroot and go back to stock rom 4.1.2 MB1. Please if somebody can help me I know that i have to use triangle away first before unrooting. Point me in the right direction.

On the "desktop" version of the website, there's already a step when creating a thread that automatically searches and finds existing threads on the subject.
It's already ignored by a lot of people.
I'm skeptical that adding an additional step for people to ignore is the correct solution. That being said, I have to real solution.
I always try to suggest people search and I'm fully aware that it makes the threads seem hostile to newcomers. I honestly don't know what to do half of the time. Being polite helps, but a lot of time people want to get upset.
Sorry people. I thought maybe I would get a more direct answer if I came directly to the sacred area of developers. Now I know that next time I'll go to Q&A and look there for the answers I need instead of relying on your expertise.

I was about to point you in the exact direction that mlin did. That's some good stuff, I keep it on my SD card in case of an emergency run to sprint for insurance or anything.

It's not about expertise, it's about Development, that's reserved for exactly that development of roms, mods etc.. It is not a question and answer forum nor a theming section. Those have their own section with thousands of people which are going to probably help you and give you proper information. Also mocking the words of a Moderator is not a good thing to do. Just some friendly advice.

So I'm on bs sprint and still have a little over a year for my contract to be up so if all's well I will be flashing me and my gfs phones to another carrier and buying out of our cantract since we're basically paying 200 dollars for the same service. I'm wondering if anybody is willing to help me out with the flashing process (this will be my 1st time) by directing me to the best carrier to flash to how toos and so fourth. I'm currently rooted and my gf isn't but I can have that done in minutes when it's time. I'm hoping to go to virgin boost or cricket if anyone knows anything about flashing to any of these carriers. Can online help? Please and thanks

Actually edfunkycold has been extremely helpful. No I'm not trying to be confrontational. My apologizes in advance if that's the way it sounds. The threads that edfunkycold pointed you to have the information necessary to complete what you want to do. There is going to be quite a bit of reading, and research involved. Especially as this is your first time. The best advice I can give you is read, read, and read some more. If you have any questions search the thread that pertains to what you are trying to accomplish. If you still cannot find the answer post up in that thread. Someone is usually around to help, in almost every thread. BTW, yes I do know how hard it is to search for answers to questions sometimes . Even though I've been around for a while, I still use the search function quite a bit. Sometimes more than I'd like to admit.

I honestly agree with u 100% edfunkycold cnexus and whiplash are always 1st on the scene when I need help. I just always see people saying to search. I always search b4 I post a thread and I only post a thread to get as much help as possible. There is no real filters on here and u could be stuck on the same thread for days b4 finding what u need. I also feel like posting new threads helps other noobs find things easier than finding something that was posted a year ago. I honestly meant no disrespect to anybody on these forums especially the people that's always helping and if any was taken i apologize

No offense taken at all. But read what you wrote. You feel that by starting a new thread it helps new noobs find it. You don't think that adds to the already hundreds of threads which exist, many of them repeated questions on the same topic? Now that is going g to make it even more difficult for a new person to find the thread with the correct information.
Keep in mind the longer threads with more activity are usually the ones with all the right answers. Some reading and searching will be necessary. Within the thread itself you can search that specific thread to get the information you need and the results come back in order from newest post to oldest post.
I search every day, I search mostly for people that are looking for answers. Keep in mind I do it all from my phone mobile so I only use the app.

Yes I understand that but thanks to people like u and the others I mentioned links are posted to those threads right on the pages we often look for. Even tho there are repeat questions not everyone has the same desire there fore when the links a provided we get helped as much as we can by this. This isn't a dispute or argument in anyway but a "noobs stand point of thinking" if that's what u wanna call it. Maybe this explains it or maybe it doesn't but it shows we have a high regard for this Site instead of going to another forum or Google searching our issues (which most leads back to here). This is a good Site and everyone is loved here especially by us noobs. I'm not sure if u seen it but a while ago I wrote a thank you post cause what u guys do here is awesome and if it wasn't for u guys my phone would be plain old vanilla my mind bored and a bunch of noobs lost hopelessly. Maybe if we can get some filters on here maybe for dates or key words or different updates there wouldn't be soo many repeat threads. U said yourself u search using your phone (as do I 99% of the time) how long does it take u to usually find a thread you've never seen on a topic u barely have any info about?

If you go Boost or Virgin you will need a donor phone,If you go Cricket you will not as they allow flashed phones on their system.Crickets service is OK but with a flashed phone you will always be 3G no 4G. The S3 is a fairly easy phone to flash you can do it with QPST. Or since you are in louisville the corporate stores can flash it for you pretty cheap.

Use this guide only instead of using DFS use QPST http://www.cricketusers.com/cdma-sa...galaxy-s3-cricket-talk-text-mms-internet.html you could use DFS as well I just prefer QPST and a note if you use QPST write two profiles enable both of them and just make one active seems to work better that way.
