Ok, I just used iconiaroot 1.3 to get root. how do i unistall docs to go? i cant find anywhere where it says uninstall.
[Acer Iconia A500] erica_renee:
Dont do it

For some strange reason still unknown to us all.Acer decided to put Acer installed app checks into there updating system.I however am not sure about docs to go but removing any software that was preinstalled on your iconia.could in fact cause future updates to fail.

You can use titanium backup to suspend apps from running. It may be safe to use it for backup. Then uninstall. That way you may be able to put it back if it does stop a update

Hope this helps.
[Acer Iconia A500] jeebugorn:
thanks, erica. that sucks though. that was really the only reason i rooted was to try and remove that software so I can put my amazon copy on. i dont want to go crazy installing new roms on here like i did with my HD2, cause...honestly, the way my acer is pretty damn good for what i want. guess i'll just deal with it for now.
[Acer Iconia A500] NoHousePhone:
If you don't mind me asking what's the difference between the amazon copy and the acer one?
[Acer Iconia A500] jeebugorn:
the amazon one is the full copy (cheaper than android market), the acer one is only trialware

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] CurtisAndroid5:
Hello guys, i decided to share my experience with flashing with you all, as im bored.

Well one rainy day, i was browsing the internet and i discovered flashing, and because i love customization- i took the plunge and got CM7- at first i loved it, after few hours i noticed severe battery issues which made the phone a nightmare to use so i decided to revert back to stock but oh wait- i forgot to back up! So i tryed the Better 2.2 MadTeam Rom- i didnt understand the point of it so i resorted back to stock- accidently downloaded it in Dutch, so i had to do it again.

This is why noobs, like me, shouldnt be allowed to do this!

Thanks to XDA for the helpful members i have met who have helped me install CM7, and revert back to stock, its pretty safe to say i will be leaving this for a while!

Hope you all have a nice little laugh at my stupidity and maybe a few people in the same boat as me will understand- dont mess with things you dont understand.

Your sincerely,

Curtis (Noob)

Simple answer, they don't know any better. Getting advice from sales people who don't know what they're talking about. Plus, there's quite a few who don't even know about WP7.
[Windows Phone 7 General] mike21pr:
its due to Android and iOS having their fanbase already established, the bad rep "windows mobile" left which leaves the impression that wp7 is like wndows mobile 7 (they should have called it something more similar to xbox or zune imo) lacking features at launch and so on. personally, after installing Mango, im convinced that WP7 is mature enough to be my full time OS. just love the ui design, smoothness, and overall integration with all things microsoft and social networks

people in press always loved/love apple. they are the ones in most companies that use macs, while the rest of the companies departements are pc only. they obviously love their iphones, too (and it makes sence, if you know and work with apple products only).

they are the kind of people that still drool if someone makes a bluescreen joke, or a virus joke. they, btw, often still think bill gates is in charge of microsoft.

so it all makes sense. i continue to do my part for wp7. so far, quite some converts happened. and without all-to-active propaganda. just gave it into the hands of some people, answered the few questions they might have had, and let them decide.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmad.haidar@hotmail.ca:
I was using odin, superoneclick and kies to root my phone. All was working fine untill superoneclick decided not to open and had an error message that said "Unable to find the version of runtime to run this application." I couldn't find a way to fix it after multiple attempts so I decided to try the easier way of rooting the phone. But this requires my firmware which is KDD but I can find the thread for it. Does anyone have the thread for it or help me find it. PLEASE help is greatly appreciated I have been doing this for more then 4 hours im getting really frustrated.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] DarkAgent:
Hello,

I am looking to get this device as a gift. I have a good deal on it and will pick it up later today. My question is will a custom ROM fix any reboot issues? I don't want to give a broken gift.

Thanks!

EDIT: I am told the phone doesn't have any reboot issues, but I am asking just in case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Ducter:
Thats a hard one to call. If its not having any issues you may be getting a good one and if so its a great gift. What I can say is running customs on mine has helped me not shoot it, run it over and then commence to destroying it. If your worried over it and you have time to use it for a few days maybe thats an option as well.

Either way, good luck
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DarkAgent:
Thanks for the response. I already got her an LG Optimus One (bad idea) and she hates LG phones now (it keeps getting stuck in emergency mode) so I am not sure if I should risk another LG failure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] FatalityBoyZahy:
Every G2X is different... Some have the issue, other's don't. If it doesn't have the reboot issue to start off with, then you shouldn't worry about other ROMs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DarkAgent:
Anyway to know if it has the issue or not? The seller says it doesn't but I want to make sure.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Even if it doesn't have reboot issues I'd still consider flashing a different rom. For the most part you'll get better battery life, better stability, and more features with a custom rom than with stock.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Not really sure other than using it. Mine was weird because I'd have reboots on stock sometimes like once or twice a day, and then other times I could go all day or longer with no issues.

But I've had no issues running custom roms.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] DarkAgent:
Thanks.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Take a sim card with you, put it in and boot the phone up. Make sure you get signal. Make a test call, send a text message, browse the web. Another poster on here said he bought a G2X from someone only to get home and realize the seller had screwed up something and the phone had no baseband. No baseband = no phone functionality.

G2X CM7
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ThC23:
Only rom that has fixed reboot issues with me has been MIUI rom. Not sure why, but I've had it for like two weeks now and nothing yet.

I've tried several others and this is the only one.

....
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Just goes to show everyone's mileage varies. I've used mainly CM7, and Ultimate G2X when i want a froyo rom, and I've had no reboot issues whatsoever with either of them.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] s10shane:
ive had my g2x preloaded with gingerbread when i got it new from tmobiles customer service and it hasnt had one reboot or shut down yet. i do notice some screen leakage but i dont see the big deal about it. its not that bad and u only see it if the screen is all black like using the app "draw!". then turning up the screen to 100% brightness
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
I haven't heard many issues about reboots running CM7. I think the issue is around the stock OS varieties (some roms are just custom stock roms ie Eagles Blood and Weapon)

Try MIUI and CM7. They both use a completely different Kernel which is where the reboot is caused. My Asus Transformer is a Tegra 2 device and with the wrong kernel (stock) will reboot often. Same applied, the right kernel won't reboot.

MIUI and CM7 both use the CyanogenMod kernel which primarily uses AOSP drivers in the kernel.

Unfortunately your mileage will vary depending on what nightly you are running. Right now I am running the CM7 Nightly from Aug 11th (101 I think?) and I'm actually getting really good battery out of it and it is stable.

Buying a G2x for a GF might borderline being a bad idea. She needs something that just works, and while the G2x will work perfectly under the right conditions, it would require that you would use the phone for a few days to test it before handing it over.

I LOVE the G2x but would have a hard time honestly recommending it for someone who isn't one of us. Like I said, using the right combination of Rom/Kernel the phone is a ROCK and a BEAST but you decide.

One thing that kinda sucks is some apps and games. The LG G2x had a bad start and therefore seems to fall by the way side. Stuff like Skype and some graphical games don't have full support like something a Nexus or Galaxy S has.

Honestly for your GF, I think a Galaxy S 4G would be a great buy, or a Nexus S even. Those are some really mainstream popular phones that will cut down on aggrevation from your GF.

Although most GF's won't be doing anything crazy like that. Just calls, text, facebook, and angry birds.

I love mine and bought it full price new. I also waited around for it and came from a Nexus One, which had support for EVERYTHING. So coming from that to a G2x, having some apps not work without hacking at it or custom tweaks can be annoying, like Netflix has to be downloaded and installed outside of the market to work.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] phburks:
Agree with all of this.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Hey all.

So, I got GB working the other day, but realized that my phone couldn't receive any calls. It was only able to call out. This is all regular calling. Everything else was working perfectly fine.

My screen would black out with the exception of my notifications bar and I would see the phone logo at the top left hand corner. In addition, I get a force close vibrate afterwards. After all this, my phone just displays the call as a missed call. On the caller's end, it's just two rings then getting disconnected, no voicemail.

I'm thinking that this probably happened from advance restoring my ICBINB KD1 data on ICBINB KH1.

Theory #1: The phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk on KD1 (in general) was probably incompatible with KH1.

Theory #2: The phone.apk and dialertabactivity.apk were incompatible, because the custom dialer from the theme does not work with KH1.

Theory #2 sounds the most reasonable, since the stock dialer for KD1 looks almost exactly the same. Please let me know what you guys think on this topic. I really wanna go back to GB, but I literally stayed up til 10 AM last night trying to fix this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
no theres no therois here u cannot restore frayo data on top of gingerbread they dont work they use diffrent libraries diffrent dex files diffrent extentons for alot of diffrent things. I could go on and on but ummm yaaa i think u get the idea
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] podious:
Was just wondering about this after I ODIN'd the leaked KG4 ROM. I don't know a lot about how Titanium Backup works, but would it be advisable to restore data from TB backups made on Froyo to a phone flashed with Gingerbread?

BTW, the XDA and RW communities are amazing with the devs that publish their hard work and are willing to put up with noobs like us. Thanks to all the devs and mods and other folks that are helping out here. This is my first post, so I wanted to say thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
I think regular files, such as games and everything, are fine. Everything worked well for me on GB except for receiving calls. Maybe one of our developers can shed some more light on this though.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nemoboy07:
yoh same thing happened to me

... try disabling tegrak for a while.. see how it works.. if not.. factory reset. =(( pretty sure its d low oc settings with conservative is d one causing it..
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Anyone figure this out? Is it really impossible to use a froyo backup? When I do everything works except for this missed call issue. So damn frustrating. I would just use Titanium but I sorta forgot to back it up so my nand is more recent. As always any help will be greatly appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] RaverX3X:
you cannot it wont work u can restore app + data but not system files not dialers from frayo to gb that stuff does not work period...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Thanks raver

Should of been more clear. It's the stock dialer on kh2. I got kh2 ext4 all the way. I advance restore data only and bam missed calls. Phone rings twice screen goes black buttons light up after two seconds screen comes back with a missed call icon in status bar. Just drops on the other end does not go to voicemail. Factory reset phone receives calls fine. Got me stumped! That happening on you're GB audiophile build cause if not I'll switch right now. Was just waiting for it to come out of ALPHA.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
As RaverX3X and I have been saying, advance restoring Froyo data onto a GB ROM

WILL

cause your phone to be unable to receive calls!

Your only option atm seems to create a backup with Titanium on Froyo and restore once you're on GB. If you didn't do that, restore your most recent NAND and use Titanium to backup.

I've done that and everything is working perfectly fine for me now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
By restore once you're on froyo I hope you mean GB. So I used Titanium to restore a batch op of "Restore all apps with data" restored fine and you guessed it still bouncing the call.

What option did you use for restoring from titanium?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
are you restoring wifi calling?

I would use titanium only to restore non system apps and only data for system apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bkoon1218:
Sorry, I meant to say backing up all apps on Froyo and restoring once you're on GB. I'll edit that post. I used a batch backup of all user apps and a batch restore of all apps with data.

Did you do a completely clean flash again? Clean flash as in:

1) Odin to RaverX3X's KC1

2) Odin any GB Leak

3) Odin drhonk's KG4 Kernel

4) Flash GB ROM

5) Turn on ext4

6) Restore backups.

Just a note for those who didn't see other threads: this isn't the whole flashing process. I just kept it short for general purposes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Sounds like we're doing the same thing but for some reason mine ain't working. Anyway just switched over to Audiophile FTW. Too tired to play with it now I'll try titanium again in the morn and we'll see if it works. On a side note Audiophile is FAST stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Ok so got it to work.

Instead of "Restore all apps with data" which forced me to have the missed call issue I "Restored missing apps with data" and everything is fine. Lost some wallpapers and settings in contacts but such is life.

You guys where right Froyo systems don't play nice with GB.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Somairotevoli:
You may be able to get away with restoring just the data for those system apps. Contacts,mms,etc. Just don't restore the app, only restore the data.

We got touchscreen games.....

We got a nice D-Pad.......

We got a nice analog touchpad.......

We got nice buttons.......

We don't have a way to assign the D-Pad and buttons to emulate sections of the touchscreen.

We don't even have a way for the analog touchpad to emulate swipe touchscreen actions without it being programmed on a per game basis.

Would seem the most basic function of this phone that should be developed, but nobody has even thought of it or mentioned it.

Why is this?

Playing touchscreen games with the D-Pad/Touchpad and Buttons seems like an extremely obvious way to take advantage of non-Xperia Play Optimised games, and should be a basic feature of the phone.

Wierd why SE or any Devs have not even thought about it.

Thoughts?
[Xperia Play Android Development] TLRtheory:
That's not a bad idea, given that there were completely customizable profiles for each and every game.

...but at the same time, it already sounds resource heavy.
[Xperia Play Android Development] GetPatriotized:
That is what I was thinking.

Sony could let you emulate the onscreen keys with the gamepad. Like putting overlays on screen,tapping them lets you assign it to keys on the gamepad.

As for non gaming,using the touchpad as a track pad.

Swiping left to right/right to left switches from homescreen to homescreen.

When in the browser, scrolling up and down in the middle (between the circles) could emulate scroll functionality.

Sometimes I want my Galaxy S2 to connect to my carkit (Nokia 616) using the normal HFP (not using rsap), so my phone doesn't loose its internet connection and I can use Google Maps etc.

However, since the Nokia 616 has no way of disabling rsap, I have to disable rsap on the phone. Does anybody know of a way to disable rsap on the Galaxy S2 so it connects using HFP with my carkit?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacester:
Any luck with finding a solution?

I have been trying to find a work around to this since June, can't believe there is no option to disable remote sim mode in either device... We must be the only people in the world struggling with this because there is nothing out there... emailed Samsung got no reply, called Nokia and spoke to the most unhelpful support person i have ever dealt with...

I did read in the Nokia 616 Manual however that in order for remote sim mode to work you need to have an external antenna connected... so i am going to try and disconnect the external antenna in the hope that the 616 recognises that its not connected and disables remote sim mode... its a long shot but im at breaking point...

I'm struggling to believe there is no command line method to disable or remove rsap on a rooted galaxy s, if I could get a lead at least i would look into it myself.

Hi guys,

I was going to post in the Lulz kernal thread, but it won't let me, as I have less than 10 posts (I'm not THAT noob, dammit! I just lurk...). So can anyone here answer my question?

I've noticed a lot of modified kernals seem to disable many types of logging (eg, Logcat) in order to improve battery life and improve responsiveness.

I've checked the thread, and it mentions nothing about this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1118918

I do like the kernal as it supports the Tegrak utility which I think is pretty good (manual UV takes more work, but I feel I'll get more out of it in the long run ;)), so I'm not sure about changing to another kernal...

However, I was thinking, how hard is it to disable logging myself? I really don't see the need for it to be enabled. Is there any easy(ish) to read information on it anywhere? And would it gain me much doing it? I do have a fair amount of AOS bug in my battery stats, and I hear this helps with it.

Thanks very much!
