The last try was done because I have efs backup (tons of them) but ktool or any other program can't read them for some weird reason:
1. Full wipe using CWM
2. Factory wipe (even with usb storage but efs backup move them to laptop)
3. Put in efs backup and install any other rom to install terminal emulator
4. Follow the method to restore efs backup on 1st page post #6 by uncle benny
5. Walaa~ Magic smile.gif

rclxms.gif Bravo!!!

Congrats! Can safe the trip to sc. Perhaps TS can put this guide up on the front page just in case EFS needs to be restored manually.

DLNA / AllShare? But you'd need to have Samsung TV that has WiFi. Most likely can't use it with custom ROM, as they came with TouchWiz.

High five! We on same usage pattern, I charge mine every 2 days on checkrom. But so far nid charge everyday with CM9 sad.gif but ICS too pretty to let go n go back to ugly old gb
*
My CM9 lasted me 17hours + with moderate usage. Purely on Wifi (with BT, GPS and the rest all enabled). Haven't put in a sim card, so mobile network is totally off. Latitude v6.1 is on as well.

That's... rather steep.

What is the cheapest clear sp and yet very good, in terms that the plastic will stick to the phone and won't come off after a few months. I have not come across any cheap sp that will turn yellowish or turn colour. Currently I hv the matte one, but the view is not that nice. Like I can see a lot of small little pixels, which I don't really like.

If I peal off my matte sp, can i keep it for other use?
Really really cheap 1 cost less than RM5. Using 1 on my SGS, though there are slight orange peel on it. What to expect from such cheap sp, right? At least I'm enjoying the clear screen from my SAMOLED screen.

Make sure you have the patience to stick it as well.

Guys,

Know we can use hotspot, but was looking at CWM tether app. Apparently "You also won’t be needing to worry about extra data charges, for the ClockworkMod Tether app works under stealth and avoids detection by mobile carriers"

I know in the states they have a separate tether plan, so this bypasses that. But was wondering for us in M'sia, does that mean it won't use our [insert number] GB of quota as well? Just wondering

You wished! How else do you think the internet access is available to your client device (connected to your phone via tethering)?

Phone suddenly off by itself, for the 2nd time.

This time after playing with Talk + Video, the back was very hot (wifi module). Next thing I know, I can't switch on the phone.

AP set's battery got problem? hmm.gif

Tried a Custom ICS ROM based on Sammy's stock as well, which FU failed.

Possible but not practical. And the bottom would bulge with battery. Accessories makers (cases) will curse Sammy. lol.

I didn't clear the cache also.. the pre-cached map areas still has the cached location name stored though.. sien

Official leaked ROM is out what. 4.0.3 lagi!

Good thing about TouchWiz (or maybe some other launcher) as opposed to GNex's launcher (Trebuchet?) is that Trebuchet can't add shortcut icon onto the homescreen. 1 that I use commonly is the battery usage graphs, wifi settings, bluetooth settings. These are all hidden under 1 Setting app and Trebuchet only allows putting app icon onto homescreen.

My CM9 has face unlock working perfectly.

I have a weird situation here. My phone could not connect to my college wifi, but my friends ipod touch and another friends GS1 could connect. I tried my account on their devices and can login. But their account on mine also cannot login.

The wifi was 802-11-EAP. Must enter username and password to connect to the router.

Then I flashed the CM9 and tried today, and it worked fine. No idea what is wrong with my CheckROM. I already tried switching from NEAK to the stock CF-KK5, but still cannot connect.

So now I am stuck with CM9 if I want internet in college. So messed up. Can't wait until the HW codecs are fixed up in CM9

Can't connect or can't even see in the AP list at all?

Galaxy nexus has a slight edge as it has a slightly newer model of the TI OMAP 1.2ghz proc. Graphics should be similar/same as using same gpu

GNex and I9100G both have the same GPU, but GNex's one clocked at a higher bus speed, hence better overall performance.
