<Auph>
So as long as my e-mail is configured for now,
<Auph>
I get push for apps like facebook, twitter?
<Auph>
if I'm right about how c2dm work on S3..
<komugi>
facebook/twitter has its own sync accounts
<Auph>
so.. Sync has to be on?
<komugi>
yes
<Auph>
meh.
<Auph>
that's not push anymore
<Auph>
=/
<steinex>
no, sync must not be on
<steinex>
dont speak crap
<Auph>
chill. someone explain to me please!
<komugi>
for fb/twitter notifications?
<Auph>
yeppp
<nalty>
Facebook uses C2DM
<Auph>
so how do I get push notifications for Facebook working without having Sync on?
<steinex>
sync is just $app<>contacts, nothing more. push is another story..
<steinex>
just enable it in apps settings?
<Auph>
so basically I don't need to turn on sync at all most of the time unless I wanna sync the contacts on Whatsapp/Facebook/Twitter etc?
<Auph>
I see.
<steinex>
correct.
<Auph>
there's no settings on twitter/facebook
<Auph>
that says Enable Push
<Auph>
it says something like Sync every 15 minutes (select your time) kinda thing on Twitter
<steinex>
well iirc it says something like "enable notifications"
<Auph>
but when I read about C2DM, it says that I don't have to enable notification
<Auph>
to use Push
<nalty>
why can't you just leave sync on
<Auph>
Battery depletes.
<steinex>
boy...
<komugi>
you must have a lot of sync accounts if that is happening
<komugi>
i have 5 sync accounts, the SGS3 still last me almost 2 days with minimal use
<steinex>
one must have a life, maybe
<Auph>
I'm sorry man, I'm really new to Android. Been reading up to get myself used to Android from iPhone. It's very different between jailbreak iOS and android OS

i actually don't know about all device cm supports, so: what device? :)
<Auph>
S3
<Auph>
as of now I'm only eligible for the nightly builds
Thiagovfar has quit [Quit: leaving]
nalty has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<steinex>
you're able to restore
nalty has joined #teamhacksung
<Auph>
is the process difficult or would it be easy to brick it?
<stickyboy>
Auph: Bricking is impossible.
<stickyboy>
... soft bricking is easy, and easy to fix.
Rebellos has quit [Quit: Leaving]
<Auph>
stickyboy: I see.
<Auph>
So I can simply remove CM9 anytime
<Auph>
and it goes back to stock/cf-root?
<Auph>
or does it go back to stock when I remove CM9?
<stickyboy>
Auph: No. It's like reinstalling Windows.
<stickyboy>
You have to reinstall it. :)
<komugi>
for easy rom change
<komugi>
use titanium backup to backup your apps
<stickyboy>
You erase your OS... you reinstall it fresh.
<Auph>
Ah. I see. So it's a reset
<Auph>
and I can restore my stuff from samsung account ya?
<stickyboy>
Auph: CyanogenMod is Android. A whole new Android. Erase Samsung everything.
<komugi>
CM won't have Samsung account
<Auph>
stickyboy: Ah. That's clearer to me now..
<komugi>
use Titanium Backup
<komugi>
backup to a SDcard
<Auph>
So whatever I backup to Samsung account while I'm on CM9 won't be valid?
IamSachin has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
<Auph>
or rather, there won't even be this feature in CM9 ?
<komugi>
Samsung account is on Samsung roms only
<komugi>
CM9 will never have it
<komugi>
since it's AOSP based
<nalty>
I wish manufacturers wouldn't create their own silly sync/backup accounts
<komugi>
nalty i think it's fine really, they need to differentiate themselves within the market
<komugi>
majority of the market won't be trying to flash roms
<Auph>
I see.
<nalty>
but if they stuck to the google account, then moving between android phones would be easy
<Auph>
Is CM9 really worth using than stock ROM?
<Auph>
:P
<komugi>
nalty - they have both on Samsung
<Auph>
I still get to use Play Store with CM9 ya?
<komugi>
Samsung Account + Google account backup
<nalty>
Seems... awkward
<komugi>
it is kinda
<komugi>
but it does add more features
<komugi>
like SIM Card locking
<komugi>
it will alert if sim card is changed
<komugi>
and phone tracking
<Auph>
komugi - isn't that already available on ICS
<komugi>
no
<komugi>
that's OEM/Samsung feature
<Auph>
that's on samsung account isn't it
<komugi>
not ICS feature
<Auph>
yeah
<komugi>
there are tons of apps that do the same thing though
<komugi>
Auph - it's really up to you tbh, personally with LFB, it fairly resembles AOSP

<komugi>
in terms of featureset
<Auph_>
so now that I already have CF-Root
<Auph_>
how do i start on getting CM9?
<Auph_>
flash it with ROM manager?
<komugi>
-> rootzwiki
<komugi>
general format is, go into custom recovery, do nandroid backup of your stock rom
<komugi>
wipe data/cache whatever
<komugi>
install cm9 rom for your device
<Auph_>
do I need a SD card for that
<komugi>
if you want to transfer apps between roms, also do a backup with titanium backup of apps
<komugi>
you don't need to, just drag it out to your PC first
<komugi>
after backup
nalty has quit [Ping timeout: 245 seconds]
<Auph_>
the backup file?
<Auph_>
okay
<komugi>
if you want to backup sms/call logs whatever
<komugi>
there is apps on markte for those too
<komugi>
SMS Backup /Calllog Backup

also, just making sure, you're using I9300 right?
<Auph_>
yep
<komugi>
not US variant
<Auph_>
no letters after i9300
<komugi>
US has different model # altogether
<Auph_>
Mine's Singapore
Rebellos has joined #teamhacksung
<Auph_>
so umm, I do a backup using titanium backup or nandroid backup?
<komugi>
auph, to be honest, I would read through rootzwiki
<komugi>
i9300 section of xda
<komugi>
before doing anything
<Auph_>
alrighty.
<Auph_>
you guys in US?
<komugi>
it's not hard, but it's better to get the basics down first
<Auph_>
yep, definitely need to understand things clearly before I do anything
<Auph_>
anyone plays Heroes of Newerth or League of Legends by chance?
<Auph_>
there's no S3 section at roozwiki. gonna look around xda instead.
<komugi>
rootzwiki is just about how to root/do nandroid backup etc
<komugi>
you don't really need a specific device for that
<Auph_>
alrighty! gonna start reading up on them. thanks komugi!
