[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ImSlower:
One more vote for Flashback.

I was stuck on 1.1 forever, after lots of failed or half-ass attempts at flashing ROMs other than my original install of VeganGE. Today I meticulously went through the steps to go back to 1.1 stock, over to 1.2, then setting up Flashback. The only hitch I encountered was a broken market, which was fixed on my second attempt at the simple market fix method.

Flashback is just phenomenal. I'm running 8.1 and have found no Force Closes on any program. Fast, smooth and sexy. Just like me. /ducks

A big thank you to the developers of FB - in my opinion, the best ROM out there for our tablets.

I tried gtabcomb and I switched over to Flashback, top main reason gtabcomb thread has been locked since July, and for me with something as new and may have problems like a rom support is key.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedibbq:
I've been on gtabcomb for a while it's pretty solid although I do have an annoying issue where everytime I'm running an app or running the browser when I back out to the homescreen, when I press the triangle, it freezes up for a second then shows my blank homescreen then all the widgets and icons begin to load one by one very slowly. I hate this so much it makes me angry! It makes my tablet look cheap! I've tried reinstalling the roms several times but after a while it starts doing it again! It's not like I have toomany widgets or icons on my homescreen.. What gives? Is this normal? I thought the tegra 2 should handle widgets and icons!! Anyone else having this issue?

[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
Do what I've been doing and see if it helps: halve the memory-related settings (which are for a tablet with 1GB of RAM) in /init.rc. Just flash the attached zip file using CWM.

It's been a while since I tested the script, so understand that you do this at your own risk. If there are any screwups, just reflash the ROM. That will restore your original /init.rc, and therefore, the original memory-related settings.

If the modifications worked, then attach the changed /init.rc file so I can take a look at it.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedibbq:
do I install this instead of gtabcomb3.3 zip in cwm or along with it? how do I see the /quote? I assume in terminal emulator?? what's the command?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
1. Flash the zip file using CWM anytime after GtabComb installation.

2. Install Root Explorer, or another file manager which lets you work on system files, and copy the /init.rc file to a micro SD card or USB stick, then transfer this to your PC and post the file here.

I heard from one of my friend that we can able to install more than one ROM at a time and we can switch betwwen the installed ROMs using boot manager apps, like we can install windows xp and windows 7 in a computer and we can use both by restarting.

Is it possible to use more than one ROM at a time? If it is possible can anybody tell me the exact procedure to follow.

Thank You.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Sorry2U:
I guess, here's a way ( Saw it from somewhere )

1.Flash the first ROM and Nandroid backup

2.After complete wipe, flash the second ROM and Nandroid backup

3.Now when you want to switch between ROMs, just Nandroid restore the ROM that you are gonna use.

Try it on your own risk !!!! :D:D:D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] mastershefis:
So I still don't understand why people want to have more then one ROM in phone like O1. Internal memory isn't so big on that and it's not useless..

[About XDA developers] N!njaDuck:
I have been a member of this community for some time now and have done my best to contribute and help others as time has allowed. I feel something has changed for the worst at XDA.

These days, it seems much less tolerant and community oriented. There is a lot more rigor placed on moderating what ends up in each forum and more people bashing anyone who makes a mistake. I understand the intention is to make content easier to find, but it seems to have done so at the expense of community. Telling someone to search Google is not always the answer.

A post in the wrong forum should be met with corrective action and information and not hostility. Hostility should also be met with corrective action. If this becomes a community that is unpleasant to participate in, then people withdraw and we lose the opportunity to interact with some talented people.

I am anticipating a bunch of examples of the above in response to this post, so have at it.

Hope I'm not in the wrong here but I +1 this post. You do get the feeling that if you do post something in the wrong section or have a disagreement then your gonna be toast. Although I was warned when I tried to sell an xbox, which was a mistake by me but I'm grateful I didn't get banned.

[About XDA developers] CallMeVentus:
Most of the people over in the forums don't usually listen to our "corrective" things .

Most of the time they repeat the same questions and you finally go angry and feel like calling that person "stupid" but have to control yourself otherwise you'll be banned for insulting .

The times when they want certain files that cannot be posted in the forums , we naturally turn to Google .

Don't tell me that if someone wants warez we cannot *always* direct them to Google .

Otherwise , what ? Bing ? Daaaaaamn .

[About XDA developers] N!njaDuck:
It is more the people calling other people stupid and generally being discourteous that I am talking about. It is generally better to answer the question politely, provide a link to the right forum or thread, and help redirect behaviour than being hostile. People seem to forget the time when they started with XDA and made the same mistakes they are no so critical of.

The ops need to do thier job and we need to support the organization as part of the community, but we also need to remember to respect the people who at least have the guts to take an active role in the community. Today's noobs are tomorrow's experts...

[About XDA developers] SXUsr:
I agree, but when people start their threads, "I've tried searching but couldn't find anything" it really winds me up because the majority of the time its clearly sheer laziness, evident by how many times you know the question has been answered already and you're able to find the answer yourself in the first few results in Google.

The biggest issue as I see it at the moment is the lack of mods to clean up the forums, we keep getting told new ones are coming but no sign of them yet.

[Android Apps and Games] cott789:
For those of you that had bloat freezer by Trey Holland, and made the mistake of un-installing it quickly to find you can no longer get it again due to it being pulled from the market, I extracted the APK. Here it is, install and enjoy.
[Android Apps and Games] bobbylouman:
Isn't bloat freezer a paid app? You can't post those here...
[Android Apps and Games] cott789:
It *WAS* a paid app (and since it is no longer for sale and the developer has been suspended, it does not qualify as a paid app since you cannot buy it). However, 1 it is no longer available on the Market. 2 I spoke with Google on the phone today about it, and they said it was pulled because the developer has been suspended. This all came about because I just upgraded my epic4g yesterday to the Touch and wanted to re-install it, however it was no longer in the market. Google explained to me what happened, so I did the next best thing, I made an APK from another phone that still had it installed, and transferred it to my Galaxy 2.
[Android Apps and Games] jameslfc5:
Tells me that there is an update in the market, wont let me update so it wont let me use it :/ Really annoyed since I've actually bought this app, I have emailed the dev and he has said that they will be re-releasing with a new icon and description

We have to buy that again and then send an email with our new invoice and our old invoice and we'll be refunded
[Android Apps and Games] cott789:
Yes exactly, some people with an older version of market can still see it, but it won't allow them to update it. Google pulled it. For all others it is not even visible. That is why I posted the APK for the file. It is the most up to date version of the app. An email to the dev wil quickly get you an auto-responded email stating that "he doesn't know why google keeps pulling it, and will release a new one, and that you will have to re-purchase." From who I talked to today at Google, I wouldn't count on that happening so much... but again not relevant since this APK IS the most recent version of the app, and most probably the last time it will ever be seen.
[Android Apps and Games] Chernyi:
Cott, I reflashed my phone today and spent and hour trying to find this app. Your .apk won't run as it says there's and update. Is there anyway around this?
[Android Apps and Games] cott789:
I cannot say why that is happening. I have not had that problem, I installed it today on my Sprint Epic 4G (2.3), my new Galaxy II Touch that I got yesterday, and my Samsung Galaxy tab 10.1, including a friends T-MO mytouch. I am not running any custom ROM's on any of my devices, I simply have them rooted so that I can get rid of bloatware, freeze the stupid crap, and not pay $29.99 a month for wireless tether.... I am not a dev......perhaps a dev with the time can look into the problem you are having and figure out a work-around? Any devs out there? :)
[Android Apps and Games] claus1953:
You can freeze any app also with Titanium.
[Android Apps and Games] bobbylouman:
Some things cannot be frozen and you gotta upgrade to pro from the last time I checked. I use antek app manager nowadays its free and lets you do the basics so its good I guess >>
[Android Apps and Games] nitwit:
Bloat Freezer was a buck, how much is Titanium?
[Android Apps and Games] Tahde:
Going to give this a try. Still running it on my Nexus S with no problems so far. Started with fresh clean stock ROM then rooted my E3d and couldnt find it in the market (now I know why). I'm using Antek right now (which is pretty good as well as another member stated) on my E3D.
[Android Apps and Games] cott789:
Yes Titanium Pro is a must have app for rooted users, no question about it. However for the purpose of freezing apps, I find and many others have found as well that Bloat Freezer does it much better, and is able to freeze apps that Titanium can't. (Titanium will "freeze" certain apps, but then upon reboot, they are no longer frozen. (again that is with certain apps, and seems to be more or less of a problem based on what phone you are using and what ROM. Bloat Freezer does work better for the purpose off app freezing. Period. An added bonus of Bloat Freezer is that it color codes apps of what it thinks are completely safe to freeze, which ones you DO NOT want to freeze, and ones that it does not recommend freezing, which is very valuable for alot of "new to rooting" people we have floating around XDA, and therefore has the potential to prevent alot of un-needed posts and fights and other BS that goes on on XDA, therefore is benificial to our community. I have played with antek app manager as another person pointed out. I do find it to be a usefull app and has its purposes for sure. It's a must have as far as I am concerned, although lately I have been leaning more on "Gemini app manager". You should check that one out as well. Again though, for freezing bloat, nothing is as effective or safe, or "newb friendly" as Bloat Freezer. Oh, and to the other person pointing out that it is (was) only $1, good point, titanium pro is currently going for $6.96.
[Android Apps and Games] Tahde:
Sweet. Just grabbed this up. Thanks for mentioning this. :)
[Android Apps and Games] thronnos:
You should update titanium to pro anyway because it is an amazing tool with amazing pro features. And it's a couple dollars.. Support the dev

[Android Apps and Games] cott789:
When I said Titanium was a must have regardless for root users, I should of said that I meant the PRO version of course. Thats why I posted this APK, because I know I loved it and I knew there must have been thousands of others that did as well, and since it is no longer available I figured this is one way I can contribute back to the XDA community.
[Android Apps and Games] hacku:
I had purchased this app and wasn't able to re-download it when I upgraded from my DX to my Bionic.

I just installed the APK you posted and whenever I launch the app, it tells me there's a new version and the choices are Update or Exit. If I choose update it takes me to the market where it can't find the app. If I choose Exit, it just exits out of the app so it can't be used.

Hitting the back button on the phone dismisses the pop-up, but it still doesn't list any of the apps, and then selecting Refresh just bring the pop-up back.

Looks like I'm screwed.
[Android Apps and Games] the_scotsman:
Sorry, but just because it's no longer available on the market, doesn't mean it's no longer a paid app.

This is still considered warez as far as I'm concerned, so I'm closing the thread.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midasziom:
HI, I have a problem withe Internet connection in my phone. I bought it in Three Ireland and there was no possibility to change between 3G and Gsm. So i flashed new KI3 stock rom and then I was possible to do it. After I flashed the Batista rom and when I changed it to GSM I got a message that I lost internet connection and R icon over signal bars. Phone was showing GSM connection but there was no Internet in the phone. I changed it back to Auto but that R was still there and no internet. I recovered my stock firmware but it didn't solve the problem. I went to Settings->Wireless and network->Mobile networks->Network operators and chose 3 (3G) network. It helped but when I turned off the data I got that R letter and after turning it back on only GSM and no internet. Anybody know the reason? Thanks for help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlowerPotmen:
Q: Where are you located now?

The sim is roaming, same as mine, as I am out of the UK and have the small R showing. You also have the phone ex Ireland, so it will be configured for there.

If you are in the UK then you will have to change the rom to a stock UK one, including the csc.

Are you on a UK sim?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midasziom:
No, I am in Ireland all the time where I bought the phone. I got that when I changed form Auto mode to Gsm in data settings. Then I got the message Internet connection lost and R letter over signal bars. When I switched back to Auto mode still had that R and no internet. I had to chose manually network operator to 3 (3G) to get it back working.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
If you are in the UK then you will have to change the rom to a stock UK one, including the csc.

[Motorola Droid 3] Kraxis:
One click root after update: "We have root, but couldn't push busybox. Not sure why!"

I just updated .890 which seemed to go fine with no errors (unfroze all bloat, but did not unroot), but I lost root, as expected.. but when I use Pete's one-click root tool (latest version), it gets to step 3 and gives me the error about not being able to push busybox...!? It says I "have root", but none of my apps recognize it.. I've pulled the battery, rebooted and retried like 10 times... still can't get it to re-root. I've made sure Debugging and Unknown Sources is enabled and tried in Charge Mode and Mass Storage mode... Am I going to have to stock flash this thing and re-update & re-root?

I THINK I have some type of root.. maybe... because Root Explorer will let me mount the System directory as R/W and I can TRY to manipulate files, but if I delete something (like su), it appears to delete successfully, but the file comes back if I refresh the directory.. but I also noticed when I go into the System directory, Root Explorer claims I only have 1MB of free space out of 318.00MB... how did that happen? If I try to run Superuser.apk, it force closes on me.

Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated...
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
there's an app on the android market that will push busybox if you have root. I'd look into that

edit: have you attempted to run the one-click root again? and if that doesn't work you can try to use the adb method if you're comfortable with it. And make sure that all of your drivers and everything are up-to-date
[Motorola Droid 3] Kraxis:
I have done battery pulls and like a dozen+ re-tries at the 1-click root, always get the same error.. :( I have been into the ADB shell to try and figure this out and I see the ADB Shell starts out by giving me a # prompt... that means writable/root, right? Any instructions on what I have to do from there?

I will look into that push busybox app, thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] smoshism:
http://wiki.rootzwiki.com/index.php/Motorola_Droid_3

This is where all the info about the adb and one-click stuff. The tough part about the adb method is manually pushing su to the (i think) system/xbin folder. Then i just used the app on the marketplace to push busybox. But there's a download link for both of those on the website
[Motorola Droid 3] Kraxis:
Thanks for the links. I think a problem with my ADB is when I reboot it (step 3), I no longer have a # prompt.. it goes back to the $ prompt... the only way I can seem to get the # prompt in ADB is when I use Pete's temporary ADB root... but once I reboot, that goes away. When I try to do step 4, rm /data/local/12m, it says it's a directory and it's not empty and it won't remove it. :\

How do I normally make ADB give me that # prompt so I can write/edit? or am I totally off-base here?..

*edit* I am going to try and do Pete's temp ADB root again and just try steps 18+ and see if that gets me anywhere...
[Motorola Droid 3] mkultramega:
After temp ADB root, steps 18 and beyond should do it. You may want to check /system/bin and /system/xbin to remove the old su binaries before pushing the new one. Some folks have one in each location for some reason. Put it in xbin, but if it doesn't work, /system/bin will. Superuser wouldn't recognize xbin for me so I moved it to /system/bin and i'm good since.

Anyone have a thought on the xbin not always working? I think this is the 3rd topic i've seen with this issue, not including myself.
[Motorola Droid 3] Kraxis:
OK, I got root back! I used steps 18+ for "ADB Method" (after using Pete's temp ADB root) and essentially replaced SU and Superuser.apk, CHMOD'd it rebooted and I had root! Thanks guys!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JennHTC:
My husband and I have switched to AT&T due to T-Mobile constantly messing up the bills. We have a bad balance. I know most of you are going to say that I will have to purchase a code, but I'm not looking to spend $20 - $35 dollars for some numbers. Is there a way I could if free from TMO?

They day we went into the store to set up a payment plan to fix our over due balances, they decided to lie to us a bunch of different times. They first said we could pay $40 to get it turned back, if we submitted our bank account info, we waited about ten minutes after we paid and then called back. We got a different person. My husband talked to them, asked why our service hasn't been turned back on and they had deleted the post-dated check that they just set up. They then proceeded to tell him he had pay all of it, up front, right then. So, we decided that we weren't going to deal with that, and left.

Would my brother (only person I know with tmobile) call and get it?

I just chatted (via internet) with Tmo, and they say I need the receipt proving that I bought the phone from them, so I can fax it. What? I wouldn't even have thought of keeping a receipt that long. Ugh I hate Tmo.
