I want to root and install a rom, but I know this will wipe all my data. Is there a way to back up apps and data, and intall them to the new rom after root? I would use Titanium backup but it requires root.
[HTC Sensation] narynan:
The current rooting and s off method does not require a wipe. So titanium might still be your best bet
[HTC Sensation] cqms13:
root first

then backup apps etc using TB

then install custom rom (wipe / no wipe)

if you dont wipe u lose nothing

if you do wipe you have TB saved - just restore what u like

simples..:)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ninlour:
could you please help me understand this.

the proximity sensor works perfectly with auto-brightness

but it doesn't work when making a phone call. it doesn't turn the screen black!

I've tried many different ROMS and the issue seems to be in all of those I'm trying.

I tried Cynogen Mods

I tried Sense 3.0 Roms

I tried sense 2.0 Roms

it's all the same

what if i do factory reset would that take off the root access of my device?

USB

I have the same problem, also my loud speaker turns on instead of the one at my ear.. And somtimes the carpanel turns automaticaly on when loading my batery..

I reat something about that it could have to do something with my usb connection. my warranty is done already and i dont feel for buying a new phone. So im heavily searching for something to make it ignore the sensor saying its connected to my phone.

Do someone have an option for that? because its pretty annoying to call and touching the screen and pusing all kinda options all the time.

Hi there:

This is a youtube video, in Spanish. The man, form Spain, is saying that he has bought the 3G model in Taiwan. And he shows it!!!

He planned to buy the Transforner and he found the 3G model in a store!

He was told that only about 5000 units has been manufactured and that it is very hard to get in Taiwan. He thinks that Asus is checking whether the market is interested in this model.

He cannot try the 3G, because he only has a Spanish sim...

enjoy the video...

I´m also from Italy and received my TF101G two days ago (tested 3G and HSDPA - working). I´ve also the TF101 model and here are the difference I noticed between the two:

- the speakers (L/R) on the TF101G are balanced (on the TF101 the right one was louder)

- the cover of the TF101G is on top left a metallic colored (7cm). I think that´s the spot of the antenna

- on TF101 I have Android 3.2, on TF101G 3.1 (seems to be no update availabe)

TF101G:

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
Juice defender turns off your data connections when the screen turns off, so that's probably what is happening. The paid version lets you maintain connections with specific apps you choose, but you may want to try other battery saver programs to see if there is a free one with app control.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jez9999:
What I'll often find happening with my HTC Desire S is that I receive a call on the phone, and as I'm rushing to get it out of my pocket I'm accidentally managing to swipe the screen, which rejects or accepts the call, when I didn't want to.

What's the best way to avoid this, given that I want to keep my phone in my pocket? I'd kind of like the screen to remain disabled when a call is being received until I press the power button at which point it becomes sensitive. Is there a way to do this or something which would avoid this accidental accept/reject of calls?

Is there anything built into Android that would allow this? An app? Or would it require development of a new app to get this kind of functionality?

As a sidenote, would there be a more appropriate xda-developers forum for me to post this in, or have I picked the right one? :)

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeteW:
Has anyone else experienced something I saw.

UK phone running the stock ROM on Orange.

From 1 contact, I am receiving messages which have been mangled.

What I see is the end part of a previous text message being combined with a new message. The part of a previous message replaces the end of the new message. This ends up being very confusing.

After a bit of research, I have found the following.

1. It's not app specific as both Handcent and the stock app show the same.

2. It's not a problem at the sender end. Definitely at my end.

3. I have only seen this from 1 contact.

4. It appears to only happen with long (i.e. greater than 1 text message in length) messages.

I have deleted the thread of messages from this contact and will see if that fixes the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?

The only thing that I can think of which has the potential to have caused this issue is the fact I restored all my texts from my old phone using SMS backup and restore. But I doubt this is the case as I would expect it to mangle the old messages and not the new incoming ones.

I somehow have two directories for sdcard and my Apps are only reading the one thats not even the actual card.

I have one folder that says Removable/MicroSD.... That one is exactly the correct directory

Then I have another that says sdcard and its just using the tablets storage.

Any idea what happened?
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
A lot of new devices that have a large amount of built-in have taken to mounting the internal storage as the SD card. If you don't, that space won't be used by apps, especially those that need to download extra files and you would -need- to buy an SD card.

So, it's functioning as designed.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Thats the way honeycomb works. You get 16 or 32 GB internal at /sdcard and your actual sd card is mounted at /Removable/MicroSD/. Get use to this because this is the way google's gonna handle storage moving forward.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omgitswes:

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stryke504:
That's how ASUS has it setup. Android requires an SDcard to be present to install applications and store files on. So because you either bought the 16GB or 32GB ASUS the directory is created for that reason to store your pictures, music, etc.

Link2SD isn't supported (yet). It's on my radar, but we're working out some other problems first.

I don't think I understand this question. The nandroid would be the same size as when you made it...? If the files were not in your nandroid, where would they be coming from when you restored?
[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
Oh what I meant was that last time somebody told me that when I flash new ROM, all links of the apps in the sd card partition will be gone (here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1106927) so if I were to go back to 2.1 nandroid after some time wouldn't the apps need to restore in the internal memory instead of being linked to the sd card? Oh and BTW I backed up everything in nandroid except for baseband software, Linux bootloader and device tree. Even though I chose to back up sd card, it said "skipped ext 2".

[Milestone XT720 General] androidlover123:
ya i use a 1gb fat 32 partition.

Nandroid doesn't understand that possibility--it expects to see ext2. That's why you couldn't create a backup.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stranxk:
Hi all, i tried really hard to run link2sd on a stock firmware (no custom roms, kernels, etc)

and i found a "solution" for it...

Thanks to: neo1234matrix

If you already got link2sd working in froyo, then you need to do this "one time only":

1. Install script manager from market

2. run the script manager...

3. go to: menu>more>advance options> config > select browse as root

4. give the root permission to it...

5. now click the file /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

6. select "run as root" and "run at boot"

7. save it and reboot your phone

8. after reboot, start Link2sd... you are done....

After all of this, you can use link2sd without doing anything else

Important! :

Every time you reboot your phone (turn off and turn on) you will notice that all the linked apps disappear from your home screens, app drawer, installed apps lists, etc as if they weren't installed, but dont worry.

Start link2sd and click menu button>more>quickreboot and all the "missing apps" are going to be available again for all your needs!

Maybe someone can figure out an easier way, real solution or something?

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] stranxk:
i know whats the problem... this new firmware includes # (deactivates the mounting script at boot)

in the new firmwares (at least the one i have, but i believe its on all the official firmwares):

in the init.rc file there is this line:

#service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

#oneshot

in froyo that line was:

service flash_recovery /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

oneshot

i already editing init.rc with root explorer (text editor) to delete the #, but when i restart (normal) the phone, it rewrites the old init.rc with the # included

if we could edit and keep the init.rc file without the # in those lines, link2sd will work as good as froyo without scriptmanagers or quickrebots

maybe someone can help me out?

you can modify the file, but when the phone turns off- turn on, it will generate a new file (from boot.img)... the only way to get it right should be decompiling boot.img and editing that file and compile boot.img

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] emanuele252:

:confused::confused:

Hi guys! i'm finding an alternative solution for use link2sd on gingerbread 2.3.3 (stock) with root..i tried to do what was written in this guide but it doesn't work on my SGA. so..looking around the xda website i found this patch:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1217578

(for SE 2.3.3 sample)

this is a solution for x10i.

For those u want to know

1) download it. There are two versions. One for stock 2.3.3 and the other for CM7. I have tried for both. It appears that CM7 version doesn't work. The stock 2.3.3 works well for both 2.3.3 ROM or CM7 rom.

2) Take out yr sd n use card reader to yr cpu. Connect the USB to the computer and mount your sd card. It's easier this way than to remove the SD card from the phone.

3) Download Minitool Partition Wizard home edition (free) Google it!

4) Open MTPW and look for yr sd card

5) Select yr SD and Choose resize on the side tab in MTPW

6) Drag slider that show up in the new window to the left to around 500mb or 1gb (safety max ,more than 1 gb can get problems)

7) Click apply on top left,yes to bla- bla and wait for it to finish

8) U get a new 500mb-1gb empty partition on yr SD.

9) Select the empty partition and click format on the side tab in MTPW

10)Select as Primary and format as EXT 2. If there is problem, FAT32 is always recognised by all phones too.

11) Read No 7 above

12) Once finish exit from MTPW.

13) Open my computer u see sd card but only the first partition,the new one u made window can't see it,window doesn't recognize Ext 2.

14) Put yr downloaded Link2SD zip in the root of the SD

15) Sd put back to phone and boot into xrecovery, flash it and reboot.

16) Download Link2SD from market and run it.

17) It will ask on first time to select use what. Select Ext2/FAT32 and reboot.

18) Run the Link2Sd again and press menu button-> storage info ,u see yr second 500mb-1gb partition. If u can't see it then u have format it wrong.

19) choose yr apk to move to to sd , Try not to move those with widget unless it is optimize for app2sd. There is no issues with moving apps with widget for Link2SD. In fact, the widgets for these apps still work even after being link2SD.

i took this information directly from the originally thread!

now.. i'm not very experienced wit android (this is my first android phone and i have it from only 2 months!) so have fear to brick my phone. so somebody more expert of me can try this and then write if is working well on SGA?

sorry for my bed english
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] frz:
also

if u r using a stock rom that doesnt support init.d/or ext4 [latest indian rom]..change ur 2nd partition to ext2..make sure its set as primary & then it should install...

that worked for me
