[G Tablet General] isthisagoose:
My gtablet has been very happy and stable with the VEGAn-TAB GingerEdition STABLE RC1 rom for the last couple of months, but I've just run into a problem I can't get out of.

I was connected to my PC via USB about to copy some data off the tablet when everything froze. I needed to cycle power to get back to a workable system. Connected again via USB, and it froze again.

Next I booted into clockwork recovery and figured I'd have a look around to make sure everything was healthy with the filesystem. It wasn't. I was unable to mount the system partition.

At this point, I figured things were looking grim, so I opted to nvflash back to stock and maybe try again with the ROM. nvflash went ok, but after rebooting it bootloops at the white gtablet screen after 10-15 seconds or so.

Now when I try to go into recovery mode, it comes up to a black screen that reads "A N D R O I D", then i get an exclamation point, then it bootloops.

help! not sure how to proceed here.

thanks in advance for any pointers anyone can give me!

I've gotten clockwork recovery reinstalled using this technique: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1058649

From there, I repartitioned the sdcard to 2048/0. It took a lot longer than I remembered it usually taking, but once that completed, I rebooted and got into the stock ROM without further issue.

Thanks for the space -- I've gotten rusty after having not run into any flashing difficulties for a while!

Can someone upload the apk? I want to try it on my Droid Charge but its not in the market.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emelnick1:
I have searched this forum and have not found an answer. I would like to know how to backup the .apk files that are stored on the phone memory, not the SD card. I have used ASTRO file manager but cannot locate the .apk files. I have already used Titanium Backup Pro but I have found that the .apk files are backed up a .tar.gz files. What I want to do is backup the .apk files as .apk files for future resoration or transport to another Android device. I have searched the phone and cannot loacte where the downloaded .apk's are being stored. Could someone out there please help point me in the right direction.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Doktaphex:
You have a couple of options. You can tell titanium backup not to use compression when backing up, or you can use 'Root Explorer' and navigate to /data/app where you will find all your user installed apps, be aware that the data for the apps, such as save games etc... is stored in /data/data.

Hope that this is of some help to you.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emelnick1:
Tahnsk for your help

Doktaphex,

I tried turning compression off but titanium backup still created .tar files, not .apk files. Secon option of using root explorer worked just great.

Thanks for your help.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProreX:
You can use Titanium backup, which will create compressed file, but you can decompress it on your PC and extract .apk file.

Method I use is with ASTRO. Go to menu-tools-backup programs, choose programs you want to backup and hit 'Backup' button. Then navigate to backup folder and there are your programs. But be aware, they will show market names whic are not always easy to determine which .apk is which program.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cementboy:
A simple option would be to install appInstaller (the one by Gregory House) from the market.

It's a lightweight app which backs up apk files to a folder on your sd card named app saver.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
It all depends of the app...if is a system app or a market one. You have to use a file explorer such as file manager or ES explorer.

If the app you are looking for is a system on you need to be rooted.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dj_Bog:
Hy guys.

I have made a windows phone 7 app using visual studio 2010, it works fine with the emulator, but i need to put it on my phone.I have an HTC Mozart.

First of all i think i need to unlock my phone, but my os version is 7.0.7390.

I reseted my phone from setting/about/reset , but after that my version is still 7390.

I really need to put my app on my phone, how can i downgrade my os version so i can unlock my phone with the Chevron unlocker ?

Or it is possible to run my app on my phone without unlocking ?

Please help. Thanks.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
No. In order to deploy your app to on your device, it needs to be unlocked. Resetting won't help you there, since it doesn't do anything more then wipe the data and bring it back to its factory state. Which means the factory state of your current ROM version. Which in your case is 7390. If you want to put your phone back into a pre NoDo state you should head over to the HTC Mozart forums and have a look for a pre NoDo ROM that you can flash. You'll then be able to unlock your device with chevron and apply all current official updates afterwards. Your device will remain unlocked.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnderPsp:
Don't forget about your backup.

You should have a backup of 7008 which can be unlocked (that's what you're looking for).

To check that, Zune, Phone, Settings, Update, there should be a Restore there.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkp1977:
True. I don't know why, but for some reason I didn't even consider that point. :)

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Magnetox:
Well I mean you could just open up your camera app, hit switch, then look at yourself :P
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] Slade8525:
not wise to keep a CMOS sensor on so long especially with AGC (auto gain control), you will get hot pixels in an hour and overheat the sensor.

There's also no zoom with the FFC, so no "detail" work with the "mirror".:)
[LG Revolution] villainous:
I have an LG Revolution, 12 days old, rooted.

LAst night i plugged in my phone and it would not charge, after trying several chargers, i decided to do a hard reset. I do the hard reset and now the Sim card is not being recognized. When i turn the phone on, it is waiting for activation, I can't get any further than that. I took my phone to the verizon store and they tested out my sim card in another phone and it worked fine. I can't unroot my phone because superoneclick can't recognize my phone, I think I need to turn on usb debugging and change it to "internet connection" but I can't access those options because the sim card activation screen is the only thing it lets me do.

Any thoughts?

Thanks for any help
[LG Revolution] bwhxeon:
had this issue once before and just had verizon replace the sim card. According to them its a known issue with teh 4g phones after doing a factory restore. Just don't let them mess around with your phone after they do the swap and they won't notice/care if its rooted.
[LG Revolution] villainous:
The guy at the store i went to put my sim card into his phone and it worked fine, would it still be the sim card?

I'm on my second Revo because of this issue. I did a factory restore and it wouldn't recognize the SIM. The Verizon store tried another card and ended up giving me a new phone. I've been very leery of doing another reset...
[LG Revolution] villainous:
Patrick, thanks for the suggestion. Pulling the sim out and starting it and letting it try to activate, then shutting it off and putting the sim in. work for me, it got me to the "please wait while sim card is activate"

but my phone would just stay there forever and eventually tell me the sim was not supported on this device.

I called customer support, they told me they had to register that sim card number to my account. 2 minutes later i'm up and running!!!!

Thanks for everyones input.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Deleted member 4031379:
I got my refurb LG Optimus from T-mobile a little over two weeks ago. I set it up with Groove IP and have wifi on almost all day with the phone in airplane mode. Running stock 2.2 and stock kernel, haven't rooted or anything. Generally I had it unplugged for about 14 hours a day and would charge it nightly. Battery life would get down in the 20-30% range on occasion and it was generally looking like I would have gotten about 20 hours total if I would have taken it down to 0%.

Without remembering making any major changes (updated a couple apps maybe) I am currently at 2 days 4 hours since last charge and battery is at 60%. This is the first time it's going this long ... basically two nights ago I was about to plug it in when I noticed the battery level was still really high so I didn't bother. Still high last night so I again didn't plug it in.

Any ideas what would cause this to happen? Looking at the battery use, it is mostly the same as before (50% wifi, 19% phone idle, 15% cell standby, 10% android system, a little to display and some other stuff). Was the battery level indication just wrong the first couple weeks? i.e. when it said 30% left it really might have been at like 80%?

Not complaining at all of course and I hope I keep getting this battery life. :)

that and "kitchen's list" doesn't even show the rom i'm using anyway.

what gives?

[EDIT] actually any of the .apk files in the system/apps folder say "read only".

[EDIT 2] - i found the com.htc.resources.apk file, but i can't get around the 'ready only' on the systemui.apk file - is there a way to remove read only status?

After editing the pngs in the framwork-res/drawable-hdpi and then packing it back with the whole rom and doing a fresh Rom install it installs and then all you see is the wallpaper and the notification bar and notification info like battery,signal,3g etc. Nothing else.
