I think the trick is having a working base rom and it being the same as the backup. Id be curious to try restoring a previous version of the same rom. How bad could it get?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abhishek1008:
Want to know about backing up roms and restoring them

I want to know wheter we can backup a rom of one mobile and restore it in other mobile. please answer asap.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dawgdoc:
That may not be a simple question to answer with any certainty. I would not even consider attempting it unless both phone models are exactly the same, you didn't say for sure that this is what you were meaning. If the models are the same: insure they have the same bootloader and modem installed. Then I still would not do it unless the ROM on the second phone is comparable to the ROM you are moving to it. The reason for this caution is that partitioning schemes are not the same on all ROMs, it can even change in a newer version of the same ROM.

Would it be possible to link my phone to my honeycomb tablet for use as a keyboard, gamepad, or even a basic selection tool(i know there is no cursor support) when I have it plugged into my tv. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello,

I accidentally deleted livewallpaper.apk (or livewallpapers.apk I can't remember how it is called exactly) from system/app and now I cannot install any live wallpaper. When I press the "+" sign in upper right corner I don't see any live wallpaper to choose. Could someone upload the original file for acer iconia a500 ?

Please excuse me if I don't explain the problem correctly since I am a newby to this :)

Thanks in advance
[Acer Iconia A500] sp3dev:
I had the same problem as you. So I have downloaded a firmware update but the apk didn't work. So I have deodexed it and now it should work on all android 3.0 devices.

[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
Hey guys I need a bit of help..... I was trying to edit the drawables on my gf 's Eris in the framework-res.apk and when I recompiled the Rom and tried to flash my changes recovery tells me that the update script couldn't be verified due to framework-res.apk and aborts the installation.... what am I doing wrong? Do I need to sign this apk or something to make it work correctly? I did this on my Droid incredible the other day with no problem. I know there was another thread on this further down in Dec but unfortunately it didn't give me the answers I need...
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
I assume from reading your post that you updated the framework png's inside a Rom Zip package... You don't need to sign the framework, but you do have to resign the Rom Zip file. Try re-signing the rom file, that should get it working...
[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
Any input on how to sign Rom files? I've never signed anything before
[Droid Eris Android Development] wildstang83:
You can sign it using gnarlycs kitchen.

Edit: another thing you could have done is just pushed your modded frameworkres to its folder and rebooted the phone.
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
find zip signer i believe its called u can use that
[Droid Eris Android Development] Macrodroid:
Sterricson Zip Signer, or get SignApkTool from the market and sign it on your phone... Just make sure you use the test-keys for the rom file...
[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
I used zip signer from the market.... is there anyway I can use this to sign apk 's like HTC messaging and HTC IME so that I can edit drawables in those apps?
[Droid Eris Android Development] tazzpatriot:
Y don't u just download the kitchen so u can do it easier and do a bunch together...I think someone said this already I forget lol I need to look haha
[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
Well I know how to sign sips I just want to know if I can sign apps like HTC messaging so they'll install on my device.... if I unzip and rezip afile it won't install on my device... will signing it fix this?
[Droid Eris Android Development] mindnumbinglyfun:
i could never get that **** to recompile correctly. i gave up.
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
I use apk manager to decompile, compile, and sign apks. Unless I'm adding pngs I'm which case I use apktool. If your just editing or replacing what already exists apk manager is the easiest way in my opinion.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Conap:
Those won't install...you need to push them to system/app and reboot. No need to sign them unless you resign a whole rom.zip
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
That's right.. thanks for adding that Conap. Also I was re-reading and just wanted to add as well that you don't want to unzip an apk to modify it and then zip it.. Use one of the other tools mentioned.. apktool or apkmanager
[Droid Eris Android Development] wildstang83:
Also for pc 7zip works good also. Just right click the file 7zip open archive drop your png where you want it. Close the apk and push it to system/app or where ever it came from.

If your on ubuntu just click your apk and drop your pngs. You don't even need an apk tool.

dinc¦rockin' the stock root
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
That does work as well but doing it that way you will need to optimize the .9's if you change them also. xultimate works great for that.
[Droid Eris Android Development] wildstang83:
Oh cool. I never really optimized any of them. What does that do?

[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
ok big time mess up...I downloaded apk manager....I used the command prompt to adb pull Browser.apk. I put this in the modding folder and used the script.bat file to extract the apk....I edited my files annd hit re zip apk and chose the option to retain signature for system apps. Then when I adb push back it seems to work fine but when I reboot browser doesnt show up in my app list!!!!! help please!!! where did I mess up? I even tried to zip align to see if that would fix it.....If I try to use coommand prompt to adb push the original browser.apk back into place it says error read only file system.....I'm locked out! ah!
[Droid Eris Android Development] MongooseHelix:
To push the original browser, /system needs to be mounted as r/w which can be done with the command "adb remount"

As for the problem with the modded browser not showing up, try this:

adb shell chmod 644 /system/app/Browser.apk
adb shell chown 0:0 /system/app/Browser.apk
#now reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik-cache, and reboot
[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
the string you typed for the modded browser....i type that into a normal command prompt not into apk manager correct? I tried to put my normal browser back with adb remount and it still doesnt show in my app list but if i look with a file explorer the apk is in the right place....why wont it show up?
[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
OK i actually pushed my old browser successfully and it wouldnt show in my app list....I then followed your instructions and did adb shell chmod and chown and reboot wipe dalvik and cache and it still wouldnt show up. I really dont wanna have to flash a recovery image....

edit: If it has any importance this is actually on a droid incredible i was testing for my gf's eris. So idk if it changes anything that this is actually an inc.
[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
OMG!!!! I'm an idiot I'm sorry guys....I didn't see the app. When I was using adb all the commands were for browser.apk. I failed to realize it shows up in the app list as internet not browser....I'm an absolute idiot. Thanks for all the help

Omygoodness to funny!

[Droid Eris Android Development] elixir911911:
Ya tell me about it
[Droid Eris Android Development] CondemnedSoul:
It compiles your 9-patch images... this is done automatically if you decopile the apk and change them then recomile it but if you are dragging them into an already compiled apk then you should use xultimate to compile them before adding them to the apk. Here's a link for it.

The zipsigner app (look for zipsigner 2) mentioned earlier signs both zips & apks. I've done both with no problem. I had to just experiment until I figured out which key to use for each one. I don't see any reason it wouldn't work with HTC apks, all you can do is try & see.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaevy:
Hi,

I am trying to delete emails from my IMAP account an my SGSII (Samsung stock emailing programm).

Now my problem is that all emails I delete once just reappear the next time I sync with my IMAP account. So its simply impossible to delete emails on my phone:confused:.

This problem also exists on the GalaxyTab as far as I know.

Hotmail works fine(but hotmail doesnt use IMAP as far as I know).

One simple solution would be to just not use the samsung emailing program. I tried K9 today, but I kinda dont like the fact that it doesnt come with an widget.:mad: I also like the stock program better.

Any clue what I am doing wrong?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaevy:
its also not possible to open most attachments directly from inside the emailing application(.pdf,.jpg etc.).

It does work occationally but must of the time it doesnt.

Solved:

Not using Polaris Office did the trick for me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraized:
How did you resolve the IMAP email problem? I'm experiencing the same behaviour. Gmail IMAP works fine (with the stock email client, not the stock Gmail client). However, my work email which is IMAP doesn't work correctly. :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaevy:
I simply stopped using the stock program.

And now I kinda started to love K9.

But K9 didn't get along with my hotmail account(it has no IMAP;always redownloaded old emails;I had a data usage of 200mb in one day^^) so I started to auto. redirect all my mails to gmail. That works flawless til now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tontonkun:
oh man, same here!

I use the same settings on Nexus One, V880 or even Ipod Touch, both works except SG2! any clue yet?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaevy:
No I didnt find no solution.

I am happy with K9 now ;).

Greets.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1sr:
Apparently using POP instead of IMAP, you have the option to delete from the server... Of course IMAP is supposed to do this anyway, but worth considering POP - especially if the other advantages of IMAP are of no interest to you.

Personally, folder synchronisation means nothing if it can't even sync deleted emails...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1sr:
I tried to chase this up with Samsung support, but of course they're useless... It's obviously a software bug, but they suggested a reflash and then trip to the service centre if that doesn't fix it...

We all know a trip to the service centre will certainly not fix it if a reflash wont...

Curiously, I've got a VHA ROM on my phone, and wondering what everyone else has, presuming it might be an issue in the branded ROM, but not in the generic ROM...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k1sr:
I'm sure I'm not the only one who cares, but I did a little bit of research, and although it doesn't seem to help, there's setting the IMAP path prefix (usually 'INBOX'), which should direct deleted emails into INBOX.Trash as opposed to the android Trash folder, and therefore delete them off the server.

Sadly, trying 20 variations, I still couldn't get it to work... but it might work with your email provider (just didn't with mine)

If all else fails, and you really want to use the Samsung email app (which I do, since K9 does not have activesync Exchange support - only the other one, which doesn't help me), instead of deleting emails, just go: Menu/Move to Folder/INBOX.Trash - this is the same as what Delete should be doing...

Hope that helps somewhat...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackasaur:
Okay as many of you know Unlimited wifi is back, and I contacted Tmobile to enable it on my lines, but I'm not sure if it's working with my Vibrant as I'm currently running the latest version of Bionix, and I'm not sure it supports the unlimited wifi calling service. I guess I'm suppose to see an icon or something, but I don't. Any one else having this issue?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] }{Alienz}{:
Get the wifi calling app. Then enable it. Then it will work. The rom you use supports it fully
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackasaur:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jackasaur:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zhab:
Unlimited Wifi Calling must be added as a feature to your account first. Then the app will not use minutes. Call customer care and have a rep add it, it's free.

It is an added feature. But how do I know its working?

In the UK original ROM, in Calendar month view, event marker is a very small square (it's correct), very dark blue in the right inferior corner of each calendar day event. As the bottom colour is black it is difficult to see the events.

Please inform if in new ROMs this dark blue was replaced by an easy colour to better see the events? If yes, which new ROM has this solved?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cribeiro:
Can you change the purple color of a meeting event in the calendar. It is very hard to read with it being purple.

The color of the calender is set by your gmail calender on-line. If you log on to your gmail account and change the color for your calender it will change on the Galaxy S II next time the Galaxy syncs.

i was quite bugged by the dark default colors assigned to my calendars as well - 3 calendars shared almost the same dark blue color, while two where bright red. changing them online helped, thanks alot!

[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
Picked up the Iconia today and am loving it so far except for the fact that the screen seems, to put it mildly, a little unresponsive.

When changing home screens it can need 2 or 3 swipes to get it to change, typing is very difficult with me having to jab at the letters rather than just touch and things such as Astro are difficult to use because the level of pressure required to scroll the screen up and down is actually selecting the folder instead.

Is this related to a screen coating because it is new, or did I get a dodgy one?

Any thoughts/experiences

Not sent from my Iconia (because it would have take ages to jab out the letters)
[Acer Iconia A500] bahurd:
Unresponsive Screen?

Maybe you got a defective unit?

I've had mine for a week now and the screen has been a high note for me both in clarity and responsiveness.
[Acer Iconia A500] cybermage1:
I agree with bahurd - I sometimes accidentally

almost

brush my thumb on the screen - so lightly I don't even feel it but I know I touched it - and it causes things to happen.

Oh dear, looks like an iffy one, pcworld here I come :mad:
[Acer Iconia A500] lanisan:
Can't say I agree actually.. the longer ive had mine (almost 2 weeks now) the buggier and slower it seems. In fact Im typing now and there's quite a delay in how quickly the words appear on screen. I'm using the mortorola BT keyboard designed for xoom. I did a factory reset last night and rerooted, applied my live wallpaper and reinstalled my apps using TiBu and I am back to being as slow and laggy as before. I didnt restore all apps and I really dont have that many. I have 13 gb of free space since everythings on the ex_sd.. I'm getting very discouraged and have till wednesday to decide to return it..
[Acer Iconia A500] Euclid's Brother:
Make sure you've taken off the green metallic sticker from the right bezel. If it's too close to the actual display, it interferes.
[Acer Iconia A500] dhruvmp:
I have noticed the screen to be very responsive. I have had mine for about 5 days and I am getting very used to the typing, so much so that I am almost as fast as I would be on regular keyboard, so the screen can certainly keep up and discrimnate those different points with accuracy and speed.
[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
Definitely an issue then, there is no way I could touch type on it, without a good stab the key won't recognize the input.
[Acer Iconia A500] tlg:
I have no problem at all with the screen responsiveness .

The only problem i have is the keyboard who take ages to type letters in some forums.

I think it's honeycomb problem not iconias
[Acer Iconia A500] kappen:
I've caught my finger on the hand i'm holding the tablet with barely on the bezel interfering with scrolling. It might be an app flooring the processor, other then that I got nothing. Mine has worked well I can even type with two hands like a full keyboard without issues.
[Acer Iconia A500] kwparker80:
Dry Hands??????

I have noticed on my A500 that if my hands are extremely dry the screen doesn't respond well. I checked and when that is happening it is the same with my phone. Try a little hand lotion (not so much to smear up the screen) and see if that helps. You should NEVER have to jab at a capacitive screen to get it to work. That is why they don't use resistive screens any more, they required pressure to operate, the capacitive doesn't.
[Acer Iconia A500] markteacher:
Well, a good reboot seems to have solved the issue.

Now enjoying a very responsive touch screen experience.

Just one suck pixel now, but as it only appears when the screen is black I think I can live with it.

Having owned the Asus Transformer before this, I can honestly say I can't see much of a difference in screen quality.

Excellent stuff.

Capacitive Screen

Having read the above posts this seems as good a thread as any to write about my problem. I say problem but I'm not certain whether this is "operator error" or possibly an iffy screen. I bought my A500 5 weeks ago at Stap*** on the first day they went on sale there, well pleased with it, a really good machine. Just so that you all can picture it, it's rooted using gingerbreak - new bootup screen compliments of gammaRascal - and all apps I don't use "frozen" so they don't use reources. In the last 4 to 5 days my touchscreen has been getting "lazy", as was already mentioned 2 or 3 swipes to change pages, quite often not responding in good time to tapping - "sticking" when scrolling up or down a page of information. I said "op error" because like kwparker80 I thought it might be dry fingers or possible sticky fingers and whilst I don't necessarily discount this I'd like to hope that was the problem not a malfunctioning screen. My question is have any of you faced this problem about 5 or 6 weeks after purchase? By the way NO screen protector applied.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
Using Gmail app, attachments can not be sent if the attachment file selected is from a subfolder of the Removable Folder.

The email just simply gets sent without any attachment.

This means that before sending any attachment located in your memory cards, you must copy any files to the internal sd directory just to attach it to your email.

This is a serious bug, no one wants to spend 20 minutes doing file management before sending a single email attachment.

Full Bug Report:

Symptom:

Within the GMAIL app in Android 3.0.1, When sending emails with attachments selected under the "Removable" subfolder, the email gets sent without the attachment.

Environment:

Tablet: ASUS Transformer 16gB

OS: Android 3.0.1

Kernel Version: 2.6.36.3.00004-g069b8b5 android@mercury #1

Build number: HRI66.US_epad-8.2.3.13-20110511

Modifications: none, no root, no rom modifications

More infomation :

The "Removable" subfolder is located under the root folder. It contains any removable media that is inserted inside the tablet.

Prior to sending the email with selected attachment, the email indicates the attachments ready to be sent, but once sent, no attachment is actually sent. Attachments selected from any other folders outside of the "Removable" subfolders are properly sent without any problems.

Please advise
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
this bug seems to be present only in the GMAIL app. The regular email app has no problem sending attachments originating from the Removable Directory.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
Is there a point of contact for Google Android app's technical issues?

I have a feeling this message here won't get to the right people.

And using the normal email app wastes more battery power due to the necessity of client side pull email.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
seems like lots of applications are having trouble accessing the \Removable folder.

Hope Honeycomb fixes that in 3.1
[Eee Pad Transformer General] klau1:
wow, after ONE month, Asus technical support finally replied. They basically said to install 3.1 to see if the problem was fixed.

They couldn't even be bothered with testing it themselves.

With 3.1 as it currently is, it still doesn't work. I didn't do a hard reset tho.

Can someone who's done a hardreset after a 3.1 upgrade please test to see if attachments from the "Removable" folder get sent?

Hello Guys,

Ive been googling around to find a script or something to "keep alive" the phone app. However, what I found ( "auto memory manager" and "phone-priotiritizer") doesnt seem to work with my SGS.

I was thinking about a script to push in "init.d" in order to lower the phone app priority.

Any idea?

Thanks
