[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramser:
Alright, I just bought my Dad a tab 10.1 yesturday since I found a really good deal on one. My problem is that when the tab freezes the only way to get it working is to hold the power button (about 10 seconds) from what I understand is that it should soft reset the device, but in our case it's being completely reset to factory settings. So is there another way to restart the tab? (On my Xoom it's Power and Vol Up) and is there anyone else having this issue? (pretty much, is this normal behavour?)

Now I'm not afraid to root and do all the goodness that is out there as I have done that on my Xoom and my Nexus One both of which were rooted within hours of recieving them, but since this is my Dads I would prefer not to.

The Tab is running 3.1, Kernal is 2.6.36.3 and the build is HMJ37.XXKG6 P7510XXKG6

Thanks for any insights
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Szadzik:
In order to reboot it, shut it down by holding the power button for 2 seconds until it shows the pop up menu - choose Power Off. When it is off, press the power button for 2 seconds again and it will start up.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramser:
baha that's a good one. As if I didn't try that already. The issue is that it was completely unresponsive to everything except a forced reboot. Too late regardless, it was returned yesturday.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillTheCat:
Howdy, folks.

I'm in a position where I might need to deploy a couple dozen or more Android handsets to field sales reps with specific software preinstalled.

My problem is how to secure either the individual applications in question such as my POS and payment gateway software which have confidential business information such as account numbers, passwords, item, pricing, description, or other data from being changed.

Is there an Android app that would enable me to prevent users from viewing or manipulating various programs or config files or from installing unauthorized applications from the Android Market or sideloads? Or, perhaps there's an app that just locks down the entire phone, disabling any installation, deletion or manipulation of applications?

I think y'all know what I need. Let me know if I'm not clear.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillTheCat:
Wow. I'm surprised nobody has a solution for this. So there's nobody out there supporting Android in a corporate environment that has to protect custom apps or keep certain data or settings from prying eyes?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillTheCat:
Really, really? Nobody out there has had to lock down Android phones for corporate deployment?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baboonsRus:
The best bet would be to talk to the provider/manufacturer directly. Our handheld mobil devices (intermec) were purpose built and more restricted than most.

Hard to find answers for locking down your phones here, as most people are probably here to get around manufacturers restrictions.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BillTheCat:
This isn't the sort of project that a manufacturer would be interested in, or I could afford to work on with them. It'd be only a couple dozen or so handsets, which is not volume enough for any OEM to bother with.

As to where I'm asking, ****... I figured this'd be the BEST place, 'cause y'all know how to get around everything so any recommendations would be pretty airtight.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon-.-:
I know theres pleanty of apps that will allow you to lock certain apps so they cant be opened unless you enter a password. I dont think this is does all of what youre asking but i think its the best thing youll find.

Locking down acess to certain settings within your POS app would have to be something that is an included feature of the app. Im pretty sure a third party app woulldnt be able to do it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baboonsRus:
Just trying to help out. Next poster is right though, pos software should have its own security built in.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baboonsRus:
I'm no dev, but maybe root, uninstall vending apk(market), install app locker, unroot, and maybe go with at&t...their phone won't allow installing non market apps(I think). A dev might even be able to make a rom that will restrict usb to charge only...that seems like a good start.

i restarted my phone and its stuck on bootloop, what do i do?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3xeno:
Try reflashing the ROM without wiping. BTW, for better help, honestly, you need to explain a lot more than the 3-4 words you have posted.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LucidSomnia:
Actually i got the same prob. I disconnected from usb without pressing turn off (i use cyanogen 7.0.3 stable). After doing so, adw launcher didnt seem to respond so i decided to reboot. After that, i got boot loop on reboot. Flashing the rom again seems to solve the problem, but only until next reboot. Any suggestions?
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:

Do I perform the permission fix after I install the rom
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
Nop,not necessarily. Cos some will do it as default. But some wont. But it will do no harm if u do, other than consuming 2-5 minutes .
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radders1997:
Ok, just wanted to be sure I'll post again if the Rom still bootloops, thanks again for your help
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radders1997:
I still can't boot into the Rom still bootloops, I am not sure that the permission fix did anything.
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] showlyshah:
Ok , then the option remaining is restore from backup. If u have the backup of current rom, go to advanced backup in cwm and do system resrore only. And check if it works. If it wont, do full wipe and do a complete restore. No more optns.:-(
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radders1997:
Oh Wel

i dont have a backup, unfortunantly, looks like i will have to wait until future releases of splash ics then to see if the problem is with other wildfires trying to run that ROM or if it is just mine :-(

Should i redownload the rom to see if that works for me?

[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Tasssadar:
Hi,

I wanted to see Tux on my phone, so I tried to make framebuffer console working.

Here is the result: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IB7g6zTDQjs

As you can see, android boots up with it, and I did not find any bug once booted, but if you try to turn phone on with USB plugged-in, it will freeze - I think something in display driver is wrong or the driver itself is not intended to be used with fbcon. But when I just plug USB to phone when its turned off, it starts charging.

Modifications to kernel with my comments(its kernel for froyo, I tested GB kernel as well, but its pretty much the same): https://github.com/Tasssadar/kernel/commit/b1c614341dbc04ec1ace604f0b4903944dd8aa9d

Kernel command line: console=tty0,115200 androidboot.hardware=thunderg fbcon=font:VGA8x8,rotate:1 mem=471M no_console_suspend=1

ZIP for recovery(for froyo ROMs): http://www.multiupload.com/NQQ1YKN6K8 - dont forget to make nandroid backup, it will replace whole boot partition, so re-flashing your kernel wont help.

Did anybody play with this already? Maybe solved the driver bug?

https://github.com/Tasssadar/kernel/commit/49ff95225eb724926434adaaa8abcd9a53c9b29b - makes it much faster, but without rotation. Or you can just turn off logo and rotation, result will be the same thing.
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] r66:
Working..

Ex.how to uninstall?
[Optimus One, P500 Android Development] Tasssadar:
Flash your kernel again (that way you will see just black screen instead of logo) or restore from your nandroid backup, which I am sure you have.

What is the best rom out their that has less bloatware nd is smooth nd everything works good and doesnt mess up I just neeed that rom can anyone help me I read and read nd I cant find it >:( help please
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
If you want an almost stock ROM but with buttery smoothness tweaks, then I suggest ICBINB.

If you want extra features not included with stock roms, and smoothness tweaks and so on, then valhalla is for you.

If you dig music, I guess audiophile roms is what you should go for.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
Is icbing from team acid good and is that valhanna our that rom is froyo?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MrC0ffee:
I can't speak to gingerbread. But on Froyo if you want stock then go with ICBINB. For more customization I would susgest Audiophile Redux.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
What tweaks do icbing have?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Exodian:
Considering that dsexton created most of the tweaks for this phone and he created icbinb ROM I would say all of them.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
Does it have known isssues?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
Your phone might run on more fps than your eyes can perceive. Other than that, i think it's an ok ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
Whats fps?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
frames per second. Although, I guess I should mention that it was a joke.

No real issues with ICBINB, other than GB issues (like weak wifi signal).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
I live my wifi and it says I might have to flash ext4 converter how do I do that?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alien001:

Thank.youu but idk its risky to switchhh:/ I dnt wannna brick this.phone anything can happpen
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] alien001:
I just did this yesterday and now I'm running Valhalla 1.3.2. It's a pretty cool ROM. I guess there's always a risk, but if you follow the steps it's pretty hard to mess anything up.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
Is the gb good though?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
The only thing that I miss from Froyo is the wifi signal. But besides that, GB is better.

If you don't feel confident enough to upgrade to GB then don't do it. Unless you really want to learn, it's easy to do it, hard to mess up, but only if you are aware of the risks involved and really need a gingerbread feature that froyo is lacking.

Other than that, froyo is a good ROM.

Another thing is that an official GB update might be coming soon, or that's what we're all hoping for. All these leaks over the last few months only mean that samsung team is working hard getting GB ready for this device.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Uniquee210:
Its hard for me idk what guide to even follow and I dnt even know half the crap.they are sayn u know .. I want gb cause it will make my phone smoother .. and fasteer and this frroyo laggs alot and it pissses me offf!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mikeflash:
i think it's fairly simple.

1. backup your SD card, you will lose your data otherwise if you follow these steps.

2. Go to download mode

3. Get KG4 ROM from the development forums.

4. Connect the phone to the computer, use ODIN provided by the rom to flash it. (KG4 forum post should have instructions on how to do that).

5. After that, flash drhonk kg4 kernel, which gives you CWM (again, use odin, there should be instructions on the forum post).

6. Boot into CWM, go to advanced, partition your sd card, 1024 and swap 0. That gives your sd card 2 partitions, one for regular data, and another for ext4 backups, so you won't get problems with ext4 conversions. Also, get to main menu of CWM, go to voodoo, and disable it. For now. Reboot.

7. Now, at this point, you have GB and it should all be working fine. Now you just need to download the latest ROM you want to flash. I recommend either ICBINB or Valhalla 1.3.2. Put the ROM on your SD card.

8. Boot into CWM, go to install zip from sdcard, choose the zip file and let it install.

9. After that, make sure voodoo is still disabled, and reboot. Let the phone idle for a few minutes, while the new ROM gets settled.

10. After that, reboot into CWM again, enable voodoo. Reboot. You'll hear a robot (Linda) talking you through the ext4 voodoo lagfix conversion. All should go fine. If you get bootloops after that, just go into CWM again and disable it.

11. Why are you still reading these steps, that was all :)

You shouldn't have any problems with ext4 voodoo. If for some odd reason you do, then just disable it and ask someone in the forums. It's not the end of the world if you can't enable voodoo, it'll still be a damn good phone.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] 95Z28:
ICBINB KJ1 is the fastest smoothest ROM I've used, and the wifi issue everyone complains about really isn't an issue. Sure it shows weak signal, but there really isn't a difference in connection speed.

And any remaining bloatware is easy to get rid of with titanium backup.

[General Questions and Answers] sstanton86:
Hello all,

As you can see I am new to the XDA forums! About a week ago I flashed my HTC Sensation (brand new), using Mike1986's HD Revolution ROM. I did this after doing 30 minutes of research as an absolute noob, but thankfully, everything has gone well. Anyhow...

I have searched for threads on this, but unfortunately none of them answer this question directly, and specifically to Smartphones.

So I will ask this very simple question:

What is all this fuss about Zram? Is it good?

I ask, because I just flashed to the updated 3.6.2 ROM, and it is brilliantly fast. I've enabled Zram, as I can see it is working in my Terminal Emulator. But i'm not sure what the difference is!

Many thanks!

:)
[Nexus S General] mikkkg:
Hello all,

i have been an owner of a nexus s gsm s-lcd since August 2011 and i have been experimenting mostly with cyanogenmod and cyanogenmod based roms such as nscollab.

Using my phone mainly for my jobs, since the beginning of the usage of non official roms, i am always having stability problems ending up not trusting my phone for everyday use.

I have tried cyanogenmod stable, rc, lots of nightly builds and various nscollab versions from 1.0.39.

From my experience so far, except when using matr1x 5.5 cfs i always have some of the following problems, some times some of them and sometimes all of them:

1. reboots

2. reboots with no ability to load the os, with only solution the removal of battery

3. crashes with the result of the pin needed to be given again

4. never waking up after deep sleep

The kernels i have used so far are all the matr1x cfs(sorry, i do not trust con Kolivas and his bfs, being a linux user for 10 years), various netarchy and the stock cyanogenmod .

The only kernel that has been stable for me until now is matr1x 5.5 cfs.

The reason for not going back to the official rom, and be ok with my mobile is mainly the bln and voodoo(although i have bought the paid app and i can use the module with the official rom) modules.

The first thing I though having all these problems is that the main cause of them would be the undervolting that all most of the kernels have. After some tests i realized that with the voltages that proton suggests or even with the stock voltages, the problems do not disappear.

Although, i have found my stable kernel and i always flash matr1x 5.5 cfs in all the roms i use, i would really like to know what is the usual suspect of all these problems. Is there any possibility that some of them are not kernel related and the cause is in the source code of cyanogenmod?

To sum up, i really believe that we should try an effort to create a kernel that is very close to the stock one, and be very careful with the extra modules that we add. Although i do not have the experience of making a kernel package for android, i will try for sure to make a flashable kernel for my needs, and if it's stable i will upload it and share with all of you.

I believe that every mobile has to be bug-free(as possible), and reliable for everyday use and at least i should be reboot-free.

I would really like to read other users experience and opinions.

Regards,

Michael
[Nexus S General] hewewe:
it was the same for me. nscollab was unusable since it was always freezing in two minutes after boot. changing the kernel did not help. so I decided to change the rom to Nexus MV 10.05. it works very stable (not a single reboot or freeze) and faster than nscollab.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Well, I found that custom kernels can work with stock ROM's. I'm using stock Google 2.3.6 on my 9023 + pete's kernel with Voodoo sound and BLN. Stable as ****, practically no issues, I'm happy with my NS as never before just because of the lack of constant flashing the **** around to "optimize". It just works flawlessly.

Had the no wake issue with cm7 216 and nscol 1.4.5. On nscol 1.4.6 and no problems yet. If it happens again it would seem to be a cm7 issue. While annoying devs are constantly hunting down and correcting problems, just the way it is and doesn't bother me.
[Nexus S General] SA-07:
Jeez loueeeeze

Just use nscollab .46 because that has stock voltages and you should be fine
[Nexus S General] thomasck:
The hole point for me is not using any other kernel but the stock one.. compile yourself a nexus s kernel (google it for how to) and be happy without any reboot, crash..
