[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viva.fidel:
Well it depends where you are cutting and pasting it to. Your phone works on the ext4 filesystem, where files have built-in permissions setting, they'll keep these permissions as long as they stay on a linux filesystem.. however if you copy contacts.apk to the sdcard or to external_sd (which is fat/fat32), then these permissions are lost.. therefore you'll have issues when moving to sdcard and back

if you wanna test this then try renaming the original apk to contacts.bak (it'll get uninstalled and disappear from app drawer) without moving it out of system/app, then try renaming it back to contacts.apk, reboot phone and it'll be back and working
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
Thanks for the heads up!

Actually i did cut it to and paste it from the sdcard!

will try it and post the result here soon

If this will work.. what are the permissions i should set for the cooked apk?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viva.fidel:
no problem, app permissions should be rw-r--r--

just have a look at the permissions for any other app in system/app if you're unclear on how to set them
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
appears that this wasn't the problem either

This try i just renamed contacts.apk to contacts.bak, the permissions remained the same

contacts was removed, renamed back, nothing happend
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
no one? :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creamynal:
maybe you need to wipe Dalvik Cache or even a full wipe to factory
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
Just to give an outside perspective, have you tried searching the app drawer for the phone and contact apps? The bar at the bottom on the homescreen is just a shortcut bar. If the phone and contact apps are in the app drawer, you need to add their shortcut back to the bar.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
It's definitely not just the shortcuts... trying to access contacts through other apps like WhatsApp causing a FC or something..

I'm trying to find a solution that doesn't involve switching rom or wiping anything

What else can I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
fixed

Found a solution!

Changed the kernel (speedmod t42) and wiped dalvik and cache (kernel is probably not related, but still, that's what I did)

So I love my TF101. I mean it is awesome. Well, worth it.

But will I still get Android updates even though the new TF is released?

Or do I send this back and wait for the TF2? I guess I feel that maybe bought this too late in the game
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SilverZero:
You've got at least 4 months before the TF2. And even then, do you really want to jump on the very first Tegra 3 device before it's been real-world tested for a little while? If there are problems, you'll be in line with every other launch-day enthusiast trying to RMA or get a repair. I've seen it before.

Anyway, yes, you'll updates as long as the device is supported, which should be at least 1-2 years more, and that's not counting the development community here and elsewhere that might keep things going even longer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebadfrog:
As soon as you buy 1 device its already too late in the game. If you want the latest and greatest you will either never own anything or need to be a millionaire. Im sure Asus will continue to update the TF when the TF2 comes out but don't expect the TF2 until Q2 of 2012 anyway
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
i know i could call Verizon but i hate using my phone to talk to someone, so....

The deposit you pay when you first sign up, do you get that back after the 1st year is up or the 2nd?...

and do they just give you the money back or applying "credit" to your account?... that and can you just use it towards another phone?

:cool:
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
Did you have to pay a deposit to open a line or are you talking about something else?
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
They made me pay a $400 deposit due to my horrible horrible bad credit thanks to shady activity in my past...........

..............................

⌐_⌐
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
I believe you are looking at about a 6-8 month turnaround. They review your account after so much time and if its in good standing, you get it back.
[Thunderbolt General] voxigenboy:
cool. it's been 5 months so far. wonder if i should put it to a new phone or stick with this thing a tad longer. granted, this is the only "current" phone that i like.
[Thunderbolt General] adrynalyne:
I'd wait. Big things on the horizon.
[Thunderbolt General] Topher227:
FYI, a quick story....

When I signed up with Verizon in 2006 (freshly 18, and had zero credit) i was required to place a $100 deposit which I would recieve back after a year of good payments. After about 18 months, i realized that i never got my deposit back. It took a few phone calls, to both Verizon and my Bank for them to give my $100 back.... so while they did give me the money back.... my advice would be to hold onto that receipt!!!
[Thunderbolt General] Xaotikdesigns:
deposits are held for one year.

After a year, they will review for things like bounced checks and such. As long as you have clean payment history, they apply the deposit to the account, then mail a check for any remain credit balance.

If you don't pass the review, they hold it for a few more months and review again. They'll continue to hold until you have something like 3 months of clean payments.
[Thunderbolt General] Dnakaman:
Kudos to you for staying in good standing.
[Thunderbolt General] fillyo:
I love people with such bad credit that can't pay their bills, yet they can afford a smartphone with a data plan. Oops, did I just say that?
[Thunderbolt General] dadsterflip:
I got mine about a year after. But i called them on the dot LOL . 2 weeks later got my Mula.
[Thunderbolt General] Tower1972:
Hey some people have awesome priorities! But also keep in mind that sometimes "bad" credit isnt their doing or happened because of circumsatances beyond their control. Divorces, theft identity,things like that. Did you know that credit reporting companies in themselves arent the most honest people to deal with (unless you are an A+ list celeb)

The area I personally start having problems is, seeing as how I believe everyone should have a second chance, as long as they learn from their mistakes (as I had to), and do not repeat them.Or the ones that constantly feed off the "government trough" but thats another story.

Im glad you are improving things :)..Stick with it. There is a light at the end of the tunnel
[Thunderbolt General] Night_Watcher:
When i went back to Verizon after being away for several years... They wanted a $400... I waited three months and tried again got in with no deposit... And no change in credit score according to the service I was using at the time... Go figure...
[Thunderbolt General] orkillakilla:
When I first signed up for Verizon I was about 20 tears old and had 0 credit. I signed up online and didn't have to out a deposit down.

Odd how that happens.

[Thunderbolt General] CanesDrew:
I had a deposit and after 12 months of not being shut off, they credited my bill for the deposit. Used it to get my Tbolt. :-)
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
that's not bad, had to pay 250 per line on sprint years ago. The weird thing is, about every six months, they would credit it back, even though it had already been credited. Happened 4-5 times over the years.

[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:

Sent from my Droid Charge running GummyCharged 2.0
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
I personally don't like Imoseyons kernel. No custom boot anims(don't get me wrong the GC boot anims are great but still), overclocking(I will personally never use that feature) and some horrid battery life. Maybe it's just me but his kernel gave me attrocious battery life, took the phone off the charger @ 2am, flashed the ROM and the phone was dead by 8am. I normally get double that with much more usage.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Lockett:
I believe I read through the gc thread that you could oc. I could be wrong.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
It can overclock, that's a downside for me since it decreases battery life if I'm never going to use it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] azoicwight:
Hi,

I'm currently using Samsung Vibrant (t-mo version) running Firmware 2.2, Baseband version T959UVKB5, Kernel 2.6.32.9.

My problem is I can never boot into ClockWorks Recovery. I've CWR's update.zip downloaded using ROM Manager. Rooted the phone using SuperOneClick.

When I boot into recovery and select apply update.zip, it gives me an error half way thruogh about verification failed.

So I replaced Android Recovery 3e, with another Android Recovery 3e which skips the verification. It installs fine but restarts back in Android's recovery. On rebooting I get a phone with everything back to default!

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

PS: I want to upgrade to CM7. which I had at one point but reverted because my bluetooth failed to connect to my headset.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Are you reinstalling packages twice?

Honestly, why not just odin to jfd and rather than boot and flash cwr, just use the update.zip in the noob guide.

I'd encourage checking that route (noob guide is in my signature).

I'm certain we could find a way for yours to work, but if you are going to try a new rom, using ODIN may benefit you anyway. It will not format your internal or external.

will that update.zip work on my phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] N00B_IN_N33D:
If all you're doing is rooting just for the root apps and not for a custom rom you should use zip A. However the easiest method for you to root would be superoneclick root. Look it up, it will have you rooted with the click of a button (hence the name)... The only thing is that it may stir up your anti-virus, even though it is safe...

Thought this deal was a no-brainer so I grabbed a few for myself and the gf. $1 for a Motorola-branded car charger with free shipping!

Manufacturer: Motorola

Model: MICRDUALVPC1

http://1saleaday.com/wireless/
[HTC EVO 3D] stopeject:
The price is right, but I don't see that it is spec'd as a 1000mA charger, so one has to assume it is only 500mA.

500mA will charge slower, and sometimes will not even have enough juice to prevent battery from further discharging. When using navigation with full brightness, the phone will draw more than 500mA just to keep running.

Amazon has a 1000mA charger for $4
[HTC EVO 3D] overclockxp:
The only thing I can points to it being a 500 rating. You would think it would be higher with the extra USB port it would be higher. Bummer.

*added screenshots from UOT*

* added black or white icons for more customizations(unzip icon folders to ur sdcard to use...u have to use desktop visualizer from the market to change icons)*

*added transparent semc music + widget*

directions:

1.flash theme thru recovery, wipe davlik, wipe battery stats just in case...reboot

2. copy semc music and music widget to system/app and change permissions and reboot

3.DL icons, unzip them and set them with desktop visualizer or other customizable home launchers

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] 10assaye:
Apologies if you thought I was having a dig at you I wasnt....

It's just that I think people should be encouraged to do these things for themselves so that they can learn and be independent enough to make these individual changes to their own phone.

The more we seem to make these small kitchen tweaks seem something difficult and that only people who really know what they are doing are able to perform the more we make the x10 seem like an iPhone that only apple can change...

I thought the main advantage of android over iphone was that they are able to be customised by individuals and UOT kitchen makes it very straightforward for people to do this...

And with nandroid backups it doesnt matter it it doesnt work...you can always restore....

So, keep up the good work, this does look like the start of what could be a very good full theme, but dont forget that it helps to let others make these twaeks on their own...
