    Going from stock ICS to CM10.1

    Just made the transition to CM10.1 from stock ICS (FL26); All the instructions are on this forum, but I had to ferret them out of multiply postings. So, these are the steps/filenames I took to go from the stock ICS ROM to CyanogenMod 10.1 (Jelly Bean 4.2.1). Disclaimer, this list is the...

    Using a Stylus

    Thought I'd pass this along for anyone that doesn't know this already. The S2 will work with a capacitive stylus. For me, it makes it easier to draw freehanded, or swipe in portrait mode. It's not like I'm going to start using it all the time, but I can see some definite advantages when doing...

    GPS observation and Wallpaper

    The GPS chips they put in the N10 seem very sensitive. I locked on to 8 satellites in a matter of seconds while sitting in my house. I created a wallpaper for my Nexus with the JB logo. You can download the (2560x1660) wallpaper here (right-click and save image)...

    Help Samsung Kies (PC)

    Edit: I got Kies to connect by clicking on the USB notification and selecting: Media Device (MTP), opposed to USB Mass Storage. Once you select this setting, it still takes about 30 seconds to connect, so be patient. Picture of the Kies PC interface below. If a JB update is offered to the...

    Some cool things about this OS

    I thought I'd pass these tips along for those who haven't discovered them yet. 1) You can take a screen shot of any desktop or inside any app by pressing the power on button and the home button at the same time. I can't tell the difference between the screen shot and the actual page (the...

    Maintaining a secure grip on the phone

    I found the rounded, slick edges on the phone, combined with its ultra-thin design and light weight is just begging to be dropped. I don't particularly liked putting a cover on my phone, but decided it was the best option when I leave my house and enter the concrete world. More discussion...

    Root Titanium Backup - Update.zip

    ROM: MTDEV CM7 I've had no luck flashing the update.zip file to restore Titanium Backup after I flash a ROM. Same hold true for flashing apps + data zips made by Titanium (option under "batch" in pro version). Even though the flash appears to install Titanium Backup, it never appears in my...

    Personal Information on Splash Screen

    Since I feel the "majority" of the population would contact me if they found my lost phone, I decided to put my name and home phone number on the splash screen. It replaces the default red "M" that MT places on the phone at boot up. There is information on this forum for creating splash...

    Root md5sum verification?

    I realize there are several other threads on this topic; however what exactly is being verified using the md5sum (nandroid.md5). I can see the value in details using Astro File Manager. Does the developer provide this value as a way of checking if the file has been subsequently hacked...

    Root Nandroid Success; Custom ROM next?

    Nandroid backup to me was something like the airbags on my car. It's nice to have but I have no intention of "testing" it. So, Busybox Pro updates to v8.0 today and I install the 1.20.1 in what I thought was /system/xbin; bug in the program (fixed with 8.2) would only install it (without any...

    Root ROM Tool Box; Is it compatible with a MT?

    ROM Toolbox Pro (App Author: Jared Rummier) is the only "rooted" application I've installed that does not seem compatible with the MT. When I try to change the performance settings I get "Failed to apply values" displayed shortly after I see it being granted SU rights. Additionally, when I...
