Thanks again to mouseglider and meyerweb. I'm good to go on a nag free 4.1.2. Will consider the un-Knox'ed 4.3 at a later time.

It looks like I'm on the same path that you took. Do you mind if I ask how you did the "no nag screen mod" and which custom recovery you used?

meyerweb, I'm bone stock on the Sprint SIII, and I got the install nag overnight. You mentioned on the Knox thread that if it were you with a totally stock phone, you would minimally root and install a custom recovery. I like this idea, mainly just to get rid of the nag for now. I see that...

It is more than just out of the goodness of their hearts that they make these upgrades. The hardware is still viable and to keep it relevant Samsung has to keep, at least nearly, up to date with the latest android capabilities if it wants customers to buy the phone.

I was excited to see your post so I downloaded GPS Status and did the reset. I've only been able to test in the driveway, but I too can go longer than 20 minutes without locking up. I tested for about 10 minutes and then shut off the GPS. After about another half hour, I turned GPS back on...

Do you know which and where you bought the USB cable?

I definitely have noticed a significant battery drain after the upgrade to gingerbread. Sigh. Any suggestions?

I did the manual upgrade (DI18 -> EC05). Thx again for another great set of instructions; the upgrade was smooth. I have had to clear some caches and uninstall/reload an app or two, but what else is new. I actually like the new stock email. I have multiple accounts setup, but one issue I'm...

Using the very useful threads here on AC, I've recently rooted and loaded the "aospMod | AOSP 2.2.1 (Froyo) [12/10/2010]" ROM onto a Hero based upon a suggestion by chefkeyser in another thread. I've worked through most issues, but wife noticed that the 'voicemail' app was missing. After doing...

I apologize for asking and now answering my own question but thought others would want to know. The phone DID have to be on a Sprint ROM in order to update the Profile. So I... * Made a Recovery backup of my custom ROM image. * Flashed back to my Sprint stock backup (you did make a back up...

First, I want to thank all the folks on this site. I used the info here to successfully root and load a new ROM onto an older phone. I'm having one issue though and that is activating the phone. (Apologies if this is in the wrong forum.) * Originally, the phone was my Sprint (CDMA) Hero...

Thanks for the welcomes. I'm using the Epic.

Hi, New member here. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy S. Previous phone was an HTC Hero and the wife still has her Hero. I'd like to customize my old hero and then give that one to the wife. I'm kind of lucky to have the spare phone to learn on. If things go well, then may customize the...
