Hi everyone,
Just wondering if someone could dump the 4.1.1 version of the stock Android keyboard from their phone for me? I've searched for some hours now and cannot seem to find it anywhere on the interwebs.
I have a friend with an 4G Galaxy S3 who would like the factory keyboard, but I (un)fortunately got 4.1.2 OTA for my Nexus the other day and it doesnt want to install on the S3 running 4.1.1.
Cheers!
Download a CM9 ROM and get it from that...
Hello there! Im here with a request if someone can help with unlocking, rooting, clockwork mod and custom rom stuff.
Im using Samsung Galaxy Nexus (GSM) Maguro running on the lastest android 4.3 and since 4.4 is out from 2 weeks or so i really wanna get it on my phone even when Google wont update our gnexus with their latest os. I know the current state of the KitKat 4.4 AOSP versions is not 100% stable and mainly those gfx issues when rotating and stuff but ill be okay.
I know there are alot of guides out there but all i need is a simplified one with intel from where to start to where to end it.
There are many stuff on the internet ive already searched but somehow i dont do it because of all the info inside it.
I know to read and before my galaxy nexus i had the Sony X8 using custom rom GDX+ and it worked well everything was easy. But with my nexus now i think there are more things to do now.
All im asking is the easiest way to get it ready to flash the package and the GAPPS. (i already picked the one from here and i have the gapps on my pc) Now i need info on how to unlock and everything with clockworkmod and backup my current os.
Thanks in advance!
No offense, but if you can't follow the guides in here on how too unlock/custom recovery/root then no one in the world can.
The methods showed here are simplest as it gets!!
As a last alternative, try the GNEX TOOLKIT V11.1.0

Hi I second this. I would also like a stable, stock, deodexed, rooted and busyboxed kitkat rom for my gsm gnexus with instructions on flashing and installing gapps. Any advice is much appreciated.

Hey ADDOriN, what's up?
First of all, I found the same problem as you... I spent some hours trying to understand the whole process and honestly didn't reach my goal... The tutorial pointed out by the friend t1.8matt is great and easy, but if you don't feel confartable yet, you can try to follow the steps on youtube video called "How To Root Android 4.3 On the galaxy nexus" made by Manley (sorry, but as a noob, I can't post the link)
Some considerations about:
- the tutorial uses CWM but depending on the version of 4.4, you should use TWRP... The process to apply the image file is the same, differing only in root step
- if your bootloader is locked, in the moment you unlock it, all your data will be erased, so a backup is highly recommended
The GNex Toolkit 11.1.0 quoted by the friend wysefreakz is easier than made everything by hand, but honestly, I didn't find an information if it is or isn't compatible with 4.3 version, so I chose to the "hand-made" method.
Just to say, I used custom firmwares on my old Defy and made the same for a Galaxy S, but I found some doubts to gnexus (even had converted it from yakjuvs to yakju in the past)
I hope I can help you
I would not use a toolkit, as pointed out by many experienced users, they can do more harm than good. Not always the case but it is possible. I you get the android SDK setup on your computer, its actually not hard using adb and fastboot once you learn the commands. There are plenty of tutorials out there to help you with getting it setup and learning about adb and fastboot.
@leocasarin, @t1.8matt, @wisefreakz Thank you guys!
Actually there is no problem for me is to follow slowly the tutorials here and there. I made this thread to ask if there is something i didnt found my rolling on the forums or the internet as general. @t1.8matt yes the tutorial you give me is maybe the one ill follow. @leocasarin i will follow the ideas you said to me and im really thankful.
NINJA EDIT: I just used the video tutorial posted from @leocasarin and i completed everything and i now have KitKat 4.4! KUDOS FOR YOU MATE <3
Hey Guys,
I am having trouble figuring out if it is possible to root my Tab 3 7.0 and install CyanogenMod.
I am familiar with rooting/installing rooms as I have my S3 rooted but I merely followed a well put together by some smart ass dude .... hehe
I cant seem to find any easy step by step guides here. If there are any can someone post them or give me some information on how to get this done. Thanks.
Tab Info:
Model Number: SM-T210R (Canadian)
Android Version: 4.1.2
Let me know if anyone could help.
Cheers
I used the Kingo Root App for my SM-T217S Galaxy Tab 3 7.0, and it worked to perfection. I don't see why it wouldn't work for yours as well. It is really simple to do as well, only takes about five minutes. Hope this helps.

So you have rooted your S3, so I think you have expierence with Odin how to root and flash ROMs.
At the moment we have no CM ROMs, these are still under develepment.
Take a look to general threats , here you will find the first thread Videos, Guide for Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 by Tomsgt with all links.
Also you find a lot of threats for prerootet Stock Roms ore modifyed Stocktroms with deleted bloatware apps, so your Tab runs smooth without lags and stable, also I prefers to install the blackhawk kernel, with kernel is the Kernel panic mode fixed.
here are the links to tomsgt: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2459817

Hey all!
I hope this isn't a duplicate thread, I've had a good look around and can't seem to find the info I'm looking for.
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace II GT-I8160 running Android 2.3.6 (which I rooted successfully from tutorials on this site; thanks!)
What I'd like to do next is upgrade to a vanilla (but rooted) version of Jelly Bean, and I amn't sure if it makes any difference what my current OS is. Can you let me know? Is it as simple as just following one of the tutorials here as if I just had unrooted Jelly Bean currently installed?
I'm in Ireland, with 3 network, if that makes any difference.
Thanks in advance!
Hi there,
I don't know where to ask for help as my Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 SM-T211 just got updated to KitKat 4.4.2, Right then and there, WiFi wouldn't work anymore, couldn't get any GPS fix using High Accuracy, Apps would open/close on it's own, battery drains so fast, slow apps, app features wouldn't work, camera couldn't be found, etc.
It was suggested on other posts to restore factory settings/wipe data from Recovery which I did but nothing changed. Now all I want to do is flash it back to JellyBean 4.1.2 which is very stable and very efficient.
I just want know where I can find/download the old ROM for my tablet? Hope someone can post a link here which is not from SamMobile Many thanks!
I don't know where you could get the firmware but SamMobile. If you want I could Mirror this file to my server in some hours since I have to go to school now.. Which Country do you need?
