QUOTE(diaBoliQu3 @ Feb 24 2013, 05:10 AM) Hi, I knew that there is a section for: 3G Signal Related Questions and Helpful Answers However, I read in some custom ROM that they will improve signal. Is this really exist? As my phone signal are very worst than others. Tried stock and custom ROM, not really helpful.  You can try flash alternative modem not rom

QUOTE(off_shore @ Feb 24 2013, 02:08 PM) No, im not rooted yet because when I try to install super user or busybox manually it cant be used. You need ROOT to be able to have these apps working. Rooting will auto install superuser

QUOTE(off_shore @ Feb 24 2013, 11:40 AM) Ok sure. Firstly, I installed all the necessary drivers. Got it detected in Odin via download mode. I tried 3 custom recovery so far: i) recovery-cwm-6.0.1.9-N7100 ii) philz_touch_4.35-n7100.tar iii) recovery-twrp-2.3.2.3-N7100 I also used three different version of Odin (3.04, 3.07 and lastly 1.85) I followed the instructions clearly stated in the website. Only Auto Boot and F.Reset Time are checked. I put the recovery image through PDA option and click start. It went well and said successfully, the bar turned to green and the phone auto restart. However, it didn't directly boot into recovery. Just went straight to Android and I checked through download mode, after I power it off for the first time after I flashed the recovery, the flash counter increased. System binary and status turned to "Custom". Sounds good. So I manually boot into recovery by volume up + home + power. Here, it will either flash and flicker the normal SGN N7100 boot screen and then turned off, OR.. It will boot to stock recovery where it stated Android Recovery 3e. I tried so many times with various methods and recoveries. I even tried Galaxy N7100 toolkit. It's still the same. My current build number is XDMA6 (Malaysia) and I did enabled USB debugging via developer mode.  Why so leceh ??? Just do ONE only - start it off with CWM : Easiest use Chenglu method to flash it - read post #5 my blog post - GUARANTEED will work. ANY Odin version can be used and just stick to any one version After you flash it , it will not auto boot to recovery mode but instead it will reboot phone. Check your recobvery status by pressing volup+power+home button After you have successfully install CWM, than you can flash the TWRP zip under recovery mode to change to TWRP recovery This post has been edited by benny888: Feb 24 2013, 02:22 PM

QUOTE(Positron @ Feb 25 2013, 01:32 AM) Which is better buying a powerbank or buying an extra battery? But I heard that if you keep on taking the battery in and out, surely the life span of the battery and the phone will decrease right? So means the latter would be the better choice? I think you are talking "crap" here What is the logic behind it? This post has been edited by benny888: Feb 25 2013, 06:34 AM

QUOTE(antt00 @ Feb 25 2013, 03:53 PM) Afaik not many people use aosp/aokp here. I cannot even name anybody apart for uncle benny who tried it for a while. Samsung note 2 stock rom is so good that even on xda aosp/aokp is not having a great impact like other devices. The boot animations i think is memang got graphic error. AOKP not recommended as most do not recognize Exfat format of external sdcard Secondly if you wish to swap external sd as internal memory not possible Most TW based roms are good enough Use titanium backup uninstall all bloatware use say nova or apex launcher to replace tw launcher if you hate it. These will give you nexus like vanilla UI experience

QUOTE(off_shore @ Feb 25 2013, 05:56 PM) I know this questions must be asked for the hundredth time, but may I know which is the best rom to use in terms of flexibility in changing the UI + battery performance + smooth + stock apps (snote, svoice) ... There is NO best rom n will never be any. If there is the whole developer community will shutdown Read the respective xda thread and see what appeals to you n read too user comments There is no quick answer Test yourself Choose which rom you want to test n ask for opinions here is better

QUOTE(fruitie @ Feb 26 2013, 12:02 PM) Stock but rooted or not? Download the standalone file and flash via recovery.  Anyway, it doesn't work properly with flash (as in the LED). Known bug but not sure if this problem occurs in the real 4.2 phone, like Nexus phone.  I doubt so, else those people will be upset about it.  Shall check with my cousin, she is using Nexus 4. I have a Nexus 4 too and honestly nothing great about photosphere. You need some level of skill and practice to get it working well. It is similar to those independent mods you can get floating around at XDA thread. It si exactly the same. No need to wait for official update

QUOTE(alexng2208 @ Feb 28 2013, 09:46 AM) oh my, i read in the comments that using goo manager is a mistake but now my dumber MOP is a larger mistake. my phone is officially living 3-4 days back in time instead of now  another quickie question, does having n amount of fonts (remnants of the previous AllianceROM) cause device slowdown? when (and only when) i load the settings page for the fonts selection, it takes about 20-30s for it to fully load up Nothing wrong with GooManager I always used it to update my TWRP. It is an effortless and easy upgrade

But payment must be by CC. Should he give the 3 CVC number, behind card? Unwise to take such offers through phone Suggest he go to Maxis center to verify Too many scams these daydream
