Quick question,

I'm currently on Miui Rom but need to get back to Stock, what is the quickest and easiest way for me to do this, is there a factory reset code I could use???

On a side note could I flash a carrier branded firmware as my phone is unlocked and I want a certain feature from there branded firmware (Orange UK, I am using an, Orange Sim card)???
[Galaxy S II General] Cosmic Blue:
you would need to flash back to a stock rom as the factory reset would only bring you back to a clean version on the Miui Rom without user data or apps.

All Roms has a factory reset in them to return the rom to its clean state, it will not return it to the orginial rom that you had when you bought the phone.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Factory Reset will wipe all data and put the phone in a clean mode, it won't change your ROM.

For Official ROM's,

Sometimes I experience stuttering while flipping through the homescreens. Additionally, when I rotate the screen during video playback of 720p mp4 files I get a lot of lag during the rotation. I have the phone itself set to "no animations", I've frozen sense, and I have the screen effect setting in go launcher set to bounce/quick. As far as opening apps, using the new market, web browser, lock screen, etc....I have no issues.
[HTC Sensation] ags29:
I've gotten lag with Go Launcher transition animations with every ROM I've used too. I ended up just switching the transition effect to "Wave" and that seems to be the smoothest one.

Hi, I’m the owner of an Acer Neotouch S200. Yesterday while I was updating from Acer v2.003 to Acer v3.003c (Italian version) a black out occurred and the process stopped. Since that moment my smartphone turn on but it stucks on the Acer Logo, first screen, with the red led flashing (installation mode active?). It’s not recognized when I link it to the PC (usb cable). I read something around the web and I find this two possible solutions:

1)	Flashing the ROM using the acer download tools.

2)	Flashing from microSD.

1_I’ve downloaded the prog, but I don’t know where to find the .bin file that I have to use. In the v2.003 I’ve founded Extrom e Flash files but I don’t know which one should I install. The prog also says that the image files aren’t correct. I tried this metod but my pc still didn’t recognize the phone. Probably I have to push some combination of buttons that I don’t know. Can you help me?

2_Flashing from microSD requires: microSD <=2 GB (no SDHC), sd must be FAT or FAT32 (first one is better), you have to copy the .bin files and then push a group of buttons with the device turned off, then it will start the process of upgrading and after a reboot it will works. Same problem: which file should I copy over the sd? Which combination should I press?

Are there some other methods to recover my phone?

Thanks for helping me, sorry for my bad eng.

Those method were used on an Acer Liquid (1) and Acer F900 (2).

Solved. I used the Hacked ACER_EUU and I have installed the 2.003 version. Then update the device to the 3.003c. You can close, thanks.

Don't think it's possible. Probably something hard coded into Honeycomb because of the lack of hardware keys, but I could be wrong.
[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Magnesus:
I have an idea how it could be helped. But I don't have time to write an app that does that - so maybe someone will. The idea is simple: rotate the screen to portrait, but show everything in landscape. That way you have nice 1200x800 screen resolution (because the stupid status bar in on the right, not at the bottom).

Also if you can - star this issue in Android bug tracker: http://code.google.com/p/android/is...=4&colspec=ID Type Status Owner Summary Stars

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david5095:
I've been trying the RCMixs 2.0 ROM from robocik for quite a time now. I've got plenty of crashes, everytime. I mean, it doesn't matter if I use it or not, it just crashes, randomly sometimes up to 10 times a day, sometimes just after entering my SIM code so.... It gets boring.

I noticed that my device never crashes ( in fact these crashes are unstopping freezes, which means I have to remove the battery and put it back in order to reboot it) when I put it in Plane mode, or when I remove my SIM Card from my Desire.

But this is my second Desire. The other one was doing the same, and the only things I still have from it are my SD Card and my SIM card, and because of while my device was still under the official untouched RUU it was running perfectly despite the SD Card suddenly unmount itselves some times...

That's why I'm wondering if I have any chance that the SD or SIM Cards are responsible for these crashes ? If so, which one :) ?

Thx for your help !
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RGold55:
My CM7 u20i has a 20% nightly drain, even with WF, BT, GPS and whichever drain mongers turned off.

After extensive reading (and trying) on the issue and analysing all kinds of near voodoo reasoning, I decided to peek into real OS activity - the ultimate place to see what's going on. OS Monitor showed me some interesting issues, in the case its ps functionality works as expected.

My attention was first caught by the constant activity of Google Backup Transport process, accounting from CPU loads varying from 1 to 14%(!), rarely 0%, even though I never use cloud backup - in any case, in any of my devices. No can do.

The other significant mistery is the existence of a log that holds 1945 entries generated in the mere past 9 minutes. This intensive logging policy is something I myself would implement (#define switch) at pre-release phase, but just for debugging sake - never letting it slip into production environment. Does Google Inc still considers Android to be at beta phase? ;-)

Google backup transport is related to syncing with Google. It automatically backs up your contacts etc to Google severs, just disable it in: Settings > Acccounts and Sync (and then disable background data
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RGold55:
Some update, some more evidences

A closer look at OS Monitor output revealed hundreds (yes, hundreds, maybe reaching thousand scale) of sequential log entries tagged as [ERROR], as for the lightsensor being turned off. Seems a strange use of polling cycles [see attachment].

An even closer look shows a row of... bingo!, debug messages [see attachment]. Lots of them there.

As I forgot to mention it on the previous post, my detailed setup as for a 16 hours test period is:

Background data: no (Auto-sync and Market follows as "no", also)

Heptic feedback: not at all

Vibrate during/when...: none

OC: no (standard 614MHz)

Wallpaper: a black pic

Auto brightness: off

Animated wallpaper/other sort of animations: never

Task killers: not at all (not worth mentioning negative drawbacks)

GPS: off

BT: off

WiFi: off

2G/3G: off

Alerters, daemons and monitors (other than Lookout and OS Monitor): none

Screen timeout: 15 secs

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] Alexander1988:
I was wondering, since I don't sync with Google, can't just uninstall the damn app ?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] RGold55:
Generally speaking, it's more sensible to freeze an app than to uninstall it - Titanium Backup is my choice for doing this. In the case you end up messing your device, by unfreezing the app you restore all initial conditions of both the app and the associated system data. No harm done.

In the situation at hand you may want to simply turn off automatic sync: Settings > Accounts & sync > Auto-sync [off]. It's safer, besides being a system managed solution.

Always have in mind that uninstalling a system app is like walking along the edge of a cliff... :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] CapnMarius:
Solved for me:)

If you are rooted, you can navigate to: root/system/app/ -> search for GoogleBackupTransport.apk and rename it to (for example) GoogleBackupTransport.apk.disabled

Now it won't keep your CPU high or your device awake:)

Having issues downloading from web pages. I will click a link, side panel opens with the document icon (power point for example), then I will, tap download.

At that point it will flash the progress bar with only a sliver, then show a grayed icon and say download again. Nothing will download at all.. I've resorted to downloading on my evo, using WiFi file explorer pro as an ftp... Works but a pain in the ass for school.

thought maybe it had to with some patches I installed from preware. I uninstalled a download unthrottler thinking that could be causing issues, but nope.

thanks for any input!

Same issues for me. It seems like a broswer issue with credentials or something. Any documents downloaded from secure sites do not open. If I don't have to login it works fine. I have confirmed this with blackboard as well as my bank account. I can download the exact same files on my computer, upload to box.net and download and open fine with the box app on TP. Very annoying....
[TouchPad General] fattmann:
By Jo you're right! Never thought about the secure site thing. Just tested it, same results as your own. Curious , do you have a bunch of tweaks and patches applied? I certainly do but wasnt sure if that had anything to do with it.
[TouchPad General] Jpr0930:
I do too. I don't think it is related but might be worth uninstalling then to see.
[TouchPad General] Jpr0930:
I don't know it it is touchpad related or just browser related. My intuition tells me browser since we can Backdoor the issue fine through the box app. Either way it will hopefully get addressed either officially or.in the community. Possibly a 3rd party browser can fix it. There r a couple for sale in the market but I won't spend the money unless u know for sure it has a workaround. Hopefully this issue bugs enough people or the right people enough to be addressed. Here's to hoping!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
Hope i'm not "noobing" here but..

I use SGSII with Litening Rom 6.1

I found a Contacts.apk which fits all SGSII roms that adds Hebrew letters to the letters bar for fast searching a contact

Used Root explorer to replace the old Contacts.apk (did backup the old one to another folder of course) and perfomed a reboot

When the device started, I had no "Phone" and "Contacts" shortcuts at the bottom and everything related to Contacts app did FC

I guessed it was a faulty apk so I restored the old one and rebooted but got the same result: no "Phone" and "Contacts"

of course that before all that I did a full backup with the recovery console so everything's back to normal.. did the same procedure again and got the same result...

am I missing here something? Should I do anything else other then simply replace the apk and reboot? (most of the threads are not stating other steps:confused: )

Please help

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
No, you did not miss anything the usual step is to install the apk and reboot.

It might be the apk was not designed for the S2 because it corrupted your phone. Some apks on the market are not designed for all android phones but specific to a model because it contains code that is not on other phones.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
I assume that i haven't did nothing wrong but why would restoring the original one did not fix it? that's my actual question
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
As the download apk that may have been designed for different may have changed some values that were not only associated with the contacts and phone.

because not all the modifications the apk installed on your phone where erased when you tried to restore the old apk.

The only way pnly way to guarantee every thing is deteled is to to do a factory reset or in your case flash your back up which will wipe your phone and reset to stock for that firmware.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
This could be a good hint, although i DID notice "fits all S2 custom roms" and i use LR 6.1

So i would like to to a little experiment:

1. Backup Contacts.apk

2. Delete Contacts.apk

3. Reboot (Device will load without Contacts and Phone i guess)

4. Pasting Contacts.apk from backup again

5. Reboot

To your opinion, this will restore the Contacts and Phone right?

If it will, it will proof that the procedure i did was OK and the cooked Contacts.apk was invalid..

am I right?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
yes, it should work as long as you make no other changes.

As custom roms as always evolving due to upgrades and changes.

Cooked versions of apks unless they are also upgraded also may have invalid links that are no longer recognized and that why it failed.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
i will test it and post a result soon
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
It appears that you and me both were wrong..

just tried the test.. no good, after removing the file, contacts is missing, even after putting it back

still waiting for someone to answer the 1st post and save me :\

EDIT: Iv'e noticed you mentioned: INSTALLING, what do you mean by that? actually running the apk? (have tried, it asks to replace, i say yes but in the end i get "application not installed"
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
apparently the contact apk is not initializing properly.

I have one other suggestion.

from the recovery back up pull out the contact.apk that you know is working and try your experiment again and see if that solves the problem. do not use the back up you just made.

There maybe an issue with the backed up contacts in that the file maybe damaged.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viva.fidel:
have you set the correct permissions for the contact.apk?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rotemakerman:
Well, I haven't touched the permissions

Lets try to solve it one step at a time

When everything is working properly and the original apk is I'm system/app.. I cut the apk and paste it elsewhere.. Contacts is removed..

Cutting it and pasting it back wont restore it.. why?
