I'm rooted running stock and was wondering if there was a hack or app or something I could flash to allow volume keys to unlock the screen? I loved this feature on my DINC2 (CM9/10). Would rather not flash a ROM just yet... Maybe in the future, though.
i dont think so, some ROMs will allow you to do unlock with the menu button though.
i know that doenst help but ive never come across that feature!
Thanks for responding! I thought that might be the case but never hurts to ask!

My device did this bone stock aswell...not sure why. Normally you will get a custom unlock screen after rooting with odinand flashing a recovery thru ez recovery on a locked bootloader. the fix, unlock your bootloader.
no I didn't do nothing that's why it's so weird I'm not even rooted,I have all the tools but haven't done it yet.

One of the things I really liked about flashing the stock jb ROM was the calendar (the one with the brown background) Specifically, I like how you can see events in the month view without having to click on anything. Anyone know if there's a way to get this calendar without flashing the stock ROM? I'm currently on the latest slimbean.
This shouldn't be posted in the development forum. But, you could try and pull it from the stock rom and side load it. Not sure of it'll work but give it a try.

There is one method in the android development section it has been there for months and it's the first post. There are to others that have been updated since it was posted last year also in the android development section. Lastly all the methods work you just have to CAREFULLY follow directions.
Yes its hard yo find all the tight files I have Odin 307 I think do you know if that will work with the files?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it will work.
Is it beanstwon method that you are referring to?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it doesn't require Odin. It is just a one click method.
Oh OK I read a lot of the comments and they are positive feedback but as I watched on this guy on YouTube his comment section are loaded with this "messed up my phone" or "don't do this this doesn't work" very little comments that said this worked for me. If this doesn't work on the first try I understand using another USB port on the computer is an option and using a different cord other than the one Samsung gives you is also an option. Is there anything to know about before doing this? This phone s my daily driver and I really don't want to have to use a prepaid phone.
And Should I also download the stock ROM not rooted before doing in case it does like some kind of soft brick?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well I have never tried the one click method as I use Odin to root my phone. So get the stock roms as backup in case you run into problems with casual.
OK thank you so much for the advice and I'll shall let you know what happens.

If you hard brick your phone you send it to jtag and pay them to get it fixed because nothing else works.
If you are feeling squeamish about the whole thing then it is probably a better idea not to do it.

Just thought you might like to know that I just used CASUAL this morning to root my galaxy s3 on Verizon build VRBMF1 with no problem. CASUAL unlocks the bootloader and installs TWRP which I like so far. Just make sure you grab the right download and if it doesn't work the first time try again with a different mirror. There's a version of it floating around out there that for some reason wouldn't work with my drivers.
Hope this helps ease your mind a little. Oh btw I probably read 1000 posts about rooting and the best method and someone claims to have bricked their with every single one of them. It's a risk we take.
Well title says everything... My S2 literally LOVES to get stuck... I can't press the home button nor the other buttons (back, search, menu). The screen doesn't respond. When I lock the screen and unlock it works back again but in some games it happens repeatedly... I really need help! btw sorry for my bad english!!

Instead of making a new thread every 6 hours maybe you should start one thread for all of your issues.
To help you..you need to help us. What ROM are you using? What version of that ROM? What recovery did you use to flash? This might help you to get the answer you are looking for with just a little more info.

How did you flash? Custom recovery or Odin? For the limited time that I was on stock JB 4.1.2 I did not have the issues you are. Best bet would be to backup all your files to a computer and Odin back to stock. That usually sorts out alot of issues.

So it only happens when you use a certain app? If so..I would say the app is causing this and it may not be fully compatible.

Wipe cache and dalvik cache..maybe fix permissions to. If that does not help...Odin back to stock again. Sounds like something got borked in your flashing process (in other words user error).

You didn't update? so your not on a locked bootloader? Also you should beable to boot from stock slot unless you did somthing to it. I don't think anyone is working on it because I think you may be the first to have this problem.
Come to think of it, I'm not seeing your name in the Safestrap thread Harley. At least not from the last three weeks. If you have been trouble with Safestrap loading roms, there's no post from you about in that thread:

He posted in the casual thread, not the safestrap thread. He seems to be the only one not able to flash 4.3 TW ROMs through safestrap. He needs to calm down and explain exactly what steps he is taking when trying to flash a ROM through safestrap and plenty of people here who will help him. Also, he may get more and better help by posting in the safestrap thread.
