[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeart:
Would you please teach a noob, as in me, with commands?

I tried the explanation ahead, but no luck.

Bumped on "umount /efs".

The phone is rooted, i'm using Terminal Emulator, Root Browser and Vim.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHeart:
Problem solved!

Got network, 3G, HDSPA, etc...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickxxxx:
Need help.

Since this is efs [Q] thread asking my question here.

Ok so from all that i read there are like 3 methods adb,ktool,efs pro. So should i just pick any one or any preference??

Also in a very good thread by Rawat after going through it i found that you need to back up "efs-backup.tar.gz" and also "efs_dev-block-mmcblk0p1.img" so my query in this case if i dont use the adb method explained by rawat's thread and used any other one(ktool/efs pro) will the others also backup the two files required?

Ok now this [Q] is like going to far but what if i do all three would be like every process backing up in same place?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Use kTool. Quick, easy, no mucking around. Make multiple copies of the backup, keep those backups on a few different devices (external SD card of phone, PC, external HD, CD/DVD, etc, etc). Can also restore an EFS backup, but I've never had to use this function (and hope I never do) so I cant vouch for how easily this works (or indeed if it does work in all situations).

Put it this way, as long as you've got a backup, you almost certainly will be able to restore it one way or another. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't restore a known good EFS backup with ADB for example (kTool also has a feature where you can verify the backup you make).
[Motorola Droid 3] kern417:
These are rare issues I have but I just thought I'd pose the question and see if anyone has any fixes. I have workarounds but still a nuissance and could be an indicator of a deeper problem (perhaps).

Back Button Looping

Sometimes when I hit the back button i begin looping and never get to the homescreen. It usually loops Go SMS --> Go SMS (again) --> Widget Locker in edit mode) then back to GoSMS. If i hit the home button then it brings me back to LauncherPro but does this mean the Launcher crashed? Why does it do this same sequence every time? (It has happened when leaving Plume, Camera, Titanium Backup...basically random apps, always does the same loop sequence when hitting the back button). Anyone else see this issue?

SOD

I had this issue on my TP2 and no one found a definitive solution. Random people experienced it no matter what, some saw it stop, some never saw it at all. Well it seems to have plagued my D3 in a much rarer form. After owning the phone for a few months it has only happened 3 times, and I have to battery pull for things to come back to normal. However the other day it happened while on a phone call...when i moved the phone from my ear the screen wouldnt come back on no matter what. I waited for the call lost tone and still the power button had no effect. Of course i still had the notification LED for an unread SMS which was more taunting me at this point, so again battery pull.

Everything I read dealt with Underclocking or Undervolting but I haven't installed any apps for this. Does LibertyROM or MonsterROM include any of that in their scripts? Are there any other causes out there?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Moon2:
Does anyone know of any unofficial repair centers in the UK that can fix an hd2 touchscreen not working (US version)?

Bump... anyone? Still need help.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gaugerer:
Despite the large HD screen and running Gingerbread the Note still manages to top the performance as shown by the results below. It's going to be even better when the ICS update is installed.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] highaltitude:
Has anyone figured out how to fix the market problem with some apps. My wife plays Paradise Island all the time and it says to update. When I try to update the game, it says ther eis insufficient space available. Well I have ton of extra space both internally and externally (SD card wise). I have heard its a problem with the market. I updated to the newest market this morning. Still same problem. I have done a search for about a week now, and still have not found the solution anywhere so I ask the question here now. Anyone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] LinuxBozo:
It's a kernel problem, and yes, it's been fixed in a couple kernels now, namely, the one I include in Hellraiser, and Entropy's kernel.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] highaltitude:
Hmm, well I am on the stock kernel as far as I know? All I did was root it and install CWM. So thats weird.:confused:

Isa that kernel you have good for stock rom?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] theandroidnerd:
me too!

yea I have to uninstall the newer market and then it works, until the phone automatically reinstalls the new version...btw u could always delete the .apk from /system/apps/ called marketupdater.apk :) hope this helps!:)
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Kevinr678:
No, he means use a custom Kernel, like Entrophy's, or his kernel. The easiest way is to download the SGS Kernel Flasher and put the kernel on the SD and flash through that app.
[Android Apps and Games] pbarnum:
I find myself looking at my phone to see who is calling and deciding whether or not to answer. My problem is that I don't answer enough.

Is there an app or a work around to disable incoming caller ID, or be able to make an "allow" list for those numbers I do want to see.
[Android Apps and Games] pbarnum:
Bump... Is there nothing out there that can make it happen?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
G2x rooted running MIUI v1.0.1. Can you run any kernel with any ROM? Or do some not support others? Trying to run this kernel.

If the two work together, is there anything aside from the given instructions that I need to do?

Also, if there's already a thread with basic kernel information, could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks, guys. :)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jimmy.77:
Hi,

Steps are correct. For about ROM and Kernel, I think yes, only some kernels run ok with roms.

Maybe I'm wrong... but my advice is don't take too much risks! :)

Bye, J.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Fix permission after flashing then reboot

Check dev section for kernel threads
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
I did that and my phone just boots to a black screen? Goes through stock LG, fancy LG, then stays at a black screen.

Halp?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Maybe u r using wrong kernel. Latest kernels works with the latest nightly only, for other roms u should lash the older kernel, check the dev section
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ericalanMICHAEL:
So do I need to flash the previous MIUI kernel back to get my phone into functioning state? If so, where can I find it?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Waldano:
Check here

[Defy Themes and Apps] florin20032003:
Hi there, I tried to update kindle on my rooted stock 2.2 Tmobile US Defy and I couldn't, thus I removed it from the system app, but that still did not work. Now I cannot get the kindle app to install from anywhere (market, amazon, even download several apk's of the web).

Can anyone please make a backup of Kindle 1.0.2-OEM-SingleSign.apk and post it here?

Also, does anyone know how to update the darn kindle?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AMDPOWERFIST:
Hi All,

Thought I would let you all know that the new marketplace has just come out, Version 3.3.11.

Details of the new market (copy & paste)

Note: Root is not required.

Note: If the Market starts force closing, just open Settings >

Applications > Manage > Market, and clear data.

What's changed? So far, we've found:

New setting: Auto-update apps (presumably, sets all apps to auto-update mode, woohoo!)

New setting: Update over Wi-Fi only

New setting: Auto-add shortcuts (automatically adds homescreen shortcuts for new apps, a la Honeycomb)

Smaller font

New app drawer icon

Microphone (voice command) button in search menu

Star rating chart on app pages

Minor UI tweaks

Download link here:

http://min.us/mbkcCQPLvP

Original Source of info here:

http://www.theandroidlinks.com/Andr...-update-over-wi-fi-only-shortcuts-and-more-1/

I have personally installed it, and it works perfectly. It is (in my opinion) ALOT faster, more responsive than the 3.2.0 which i had previously had installed...

If this has helped, please click thanks below.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jimmy.77:
Hi!

Only one (noobish?) question: but Market is capable to upgrade itself or I have to download and install new release?

J.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AMDPOWERFIST:
It can and does upgrade itself, but only when its officially released by google and pushed out to phones via the market updater.

This release here is pre-released version of what may or may not be pushed out by google. So if you manually update it yourself, you will have the newest version now. I for one, love having new apps, roms, kernels etc as soon as they are released.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] newcomics:
Coming from 3.1.5, the new Market seems more responsive (but it might also be the upgrade to Android 2.3.5 :))

Anyway, thanks for sharing!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonny68:
There has already been 4/5 threads and download links about this already, i wouldn't call it an incredible speed increase but it is noticeably better than the last version but unfortunately still pales in comparison to the iClone app store but im sure Google will get there eventually.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AMDPOWERFIST:
O rly, sorry i had a 3 page look back to see if anyone had posted anything about it before posting, and couldnt find anything - so i thought i would share.

Coming from Market 3.2.0 i notice a huge speed increase, but that might just be my phone compared to others.... edited the title to not mislead others into unconfirmed speed increase.

Cheers
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Frostfree:
Agreed, lot much better, thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] roxz:
i have tried downloading it and when i install it stays on 3.2.0 any ideas on how to get it working

thanks
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AMDPOWERFIST:
Heres the method i used:

1) Get root explorer (or some app that allows root exploration - ES file explorer also does this and is free.

2) go to SYSTEM/APP and rename "Vending.apk" to "Vending.apk2"

3) rename the new "Market-3.3.11.apk" to "Vending.apk" and copy it onto your SDcard

4) copy this new "Vending.apk" from your SDcard to SYSTEM/APP (paste)

5) hold your finger on the new "Vending.apk" thats inside the SYSTEM/APP folder - go to permissions

6) tick all 3 of the first boxes on (READ column), and only the top box in the second row (WRITE column), and none in the 3rd row (EXECUTE column) then tap ok

alternatively - you can just copy the file onto your SDcard and run the application, assuming you have:

Settings > Applications > Unknown Sources (Ticked on)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] code3h:
I have installed it on Samsung Galaxy S2

My existing version is v3.1.5 have updated to this v3.3.11

I will use it for few day and let you guys know if getting any errors !

Thanks for update !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] scottishlad80:
It's not a pre-release, I'm in the uk and my phone auto updated to this version about 3 days ago.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] jonny68:
I notice they still haven't fixed the bug where you update an app which i done last night, it appeared to update fine, i just check the market now and the very same app is there waiting to be updated:confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] fasst:
If you feel market loads too slow, try this:

http://www.xda-developers.com/android/set-dns-speed-up-android-market-using-wifi/
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] scottishlad80:
I get this to, also auto-update doesnt seem to work.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] fasst:
I've seen this many times. If you install an app from outside market it seems like market comes "out of synch". When it says update for the market app it's the latest official one. The way to get rid of this false update is to uninstall and install again. But then you are back to the official release.

But i don't think you should do this with the market app. I'm not sure if you get it back. If you loose it, just install the market.apk from the OP.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] arkui0129:
Thanks man!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] melorib:
It wont install in my phone, either install or renaming to Vending.apk and moving to apps... :confused:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] Freakgs:
I'm not sure if it's just me but it seems that this release fixes the issue where the market app gets stuck at "loading".

Thanks for sharing. I now have installed on Flyer and SGS2.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] melorib:
Any other way to install... :confused:

EDIT: Rebooted and there it is... :o

It is faster than 3.20, but I flashed the last CM7 wich is supposed to have fixed wifi, anyway... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] AMDPOWERFIST:
yeh you must restart after installing this new market place, much like many system apps on android.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] zoffr:
thanks for this !
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] melorib:
I also instalaled on the GIO and it worked right away, for some reason the SGS2 needed restart... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] ChristofS:
I think the new market is not bad. But a ignore update check box was great.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aegis_85:
Is it just me? I just got "application not install" thingy. Tried the rename method and still the same.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] melorib:
Same here, have to reboot...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] aegis_85:
Reboot and install again? Tried, and nope, it didnt solve the problem..
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] melorib:
I had given up, rebooted after installing new CM7, and there it was, without any further installation...
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] 1xinfusion:
I'm having issues where my phone is incompatible. Many apps such as skype and facebook wont install because the market blocks it due to my phone not being compatible with the app. It works fine on last version of market. I am not running an abnormal dpi when testing this . I tested it at 240 which is the default for i9100

May be caused by my rom but who knows, uninstalled till issue is fixed.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahlzahn:
Hey everyone,

I just flashed the Runnymede 5.0 ROM by sebastiaan15 and would like to know which skins can be installed with this ROM (Sense 3.5; RCTweaks; Android 2.3.5? The ROM-thread is kinda confusing (and nobody answered my question) and it is always said to check the Desire HD Thread, but there are loads of Skins and i have no idea which are compatible with my ROM...

I used the simple "metal skin" before with LeeDroid and would like to have it again. Or any other Skin that changes the dock, because i don't like the standard one...

So if someone could give me a simple overview of compatible skins (links to threads or something), it would be highly appreciated!Tanks in advance for your help!
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Hello folks,

Right out of the oven: B&N will show on Monday Nov. 7th a new nook color (Engadget, Android Central). Pretty much the same look, size, screen, improved processor and memory, and somewhat lighter.

On Nook touch side, a cheaper nook touch (99 USD), and a new update 1.1 (Engadget). Cheaper and no ads (Amazon anyone?).

Let's wait and see. Lets prepare a touchnooter for 1.1!
[Nook Touch General] mdall:
More information about the 1.1 update here.

It seems that multi-touch will be enabled :cool:
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Sweet, I've read that and didn't notice it was multitouch. Pinch to zoom, here we come. Is it rootable???????????
[Nook Touch General] guitar_east:
I have yet to see an Android device NOT get rooted (that people actually want to root).

Multitouch sounds fantastic. I'm hoping they show a much better PDF viewer, similar to the Kobo Touch
[Nook Touch General] TJay99:
On a related note... should we be concerned with what seems to be an automatic update with our rooted NST's? I rooted after v1.01, but I read of a few horror stories of people who rooted, THEN updated, then bricked their Nooks.

Again, should I be concerned? Should I keep wi-fi off during the update period?
[Nook Touch General] mdall:
If you want to be sure, yes keep your wifi off during the update period.

You can block also the OTA updates doing this or this. (It is for the Nook Color but I guess it should work with the Nook Touch)

Or you can also make a backup now so that you can repair your Nook if there is a problem.
[Nook Touch General] mdall:
It is coming https://www.barnesandnoble.com/u/Software-Updates-NOOK-Simple-Touch/379003175

I don't have time to test it but if someone (who has made a backup of his nook and who knows what he is doing) could test it and tell us if rooting still works, it would be great :)

The 1.1 source code is also available (here)
[Nook Touch General] rnook:
With the "Sideload_update.zip" on the desktop, but without time enough to put it into my nook touch rooted! Waiting go home and try ...

Sadly they still didn't get it right... The link points to a Nook Color update :(

Edit: Correct link now :)

Just something weird i noticed. the link on the update page actually says nookcolor v1.0.1.

maybe BN got the link wrong?

B&N correct the link ! And the name of the correct is: "nook_1_1_uptade.zip".
[Nook Touch General] Dimdamm:
I just tried to run it (with the correct file) on a 1.0.1 rooted nook, but it doesn't work, it go to a loading screen, but only for a few secs, and the nook is still in 1.0.1 version after that.
[Nook Touch General] zlnook:
you have to unroot the device then install the update
[Nook Touch General] mdall:
Have you tested it ?

I checked its content, it modify notably here something in the video drivers, in the touchscreen drivers and add new EpdWaveForm (and also a WaveformDownloader.apk)
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Installed already, page changing is really faster (good), but no traces of multi-touch. Still have to check battery life. See you in 2 months :) Maybe later today I'll try to root it - or send it to hell!

BTW, has anyone noticed that the cheaper nook STR version doesn't come with a wall charger? Now it is an accessory!!! It can only be charged on a computer!
[Nook Touch General] rnook:
Apeine, have you just installed above the rooted or take it back to the original firmware?

Ok, if you will try to root ...
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
rnook, as my market was messed, last week I went back to unrooted version, then updated to 1.0.1. As the new version came today, I waited for it and installed. But I did the nookrestore thing, the lower two buttons boot, updated to 1.0.1 and now to 1.1.
[Nook Touch General] pkryger:
apeine, how long did it take to update? Mine has been showing 'Installin...' screen for the last hour now. Should I start to worry?

Edit: OK. I needed to 'turn it off' - hold the power button for approx. 10s and then power on again. The installation procedure went pretty smooth then (~2 mins). I cannot see multitouch either :-(
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Guess you should. Once it went into the wallpaper screen, it took no more than 5 minutes to update and get back to work.

Did you get the nook_1_1_update file or the sideload_update? Only the first is correct. The other is for nook color.
[Nook Touch General] rnook:
Waiting

I will wait your first view and the re-root, cause I like my rooted touch. Thanks
[Nook Touch General] myself11:
Is the screen crisppier / letters darker?
[Nook Touch General] mdall:
Yep, they say nothing about multitouch in "What's new in Ver1.1.0?"

One could still try this (it didn't work with 1.0)
[Nook Touch General] cymoze:
Unrooted, then upgraded to 1.1. Didn't notice any "multi-touch" capabilities. Tried to re-root using TouchNooter and got stuck in a boot loop. Restored and my system reverted to 1.0.1. Trying it again...

Edit: When rooting, got stuck on the Rooted Forever screen. Tried rebooting without card in and got to Android screen, but when I tried pressing the Android guy he wouldn't respond to touch. Rebooting from there put me in a boot loop. Never have gotten an Android screen that wouldn't recognize touch before.
[Nook Touch General] Zydraka:
I tried using the Touchnooter rooting method and it won't work with 1.1. It almost worked but it was really slow and the touchscreen wouldn't respond. Had to do a restore and start all over again.
[Nook Touch General] beh:
Worked for me using nookdevs guide. I'll check for multitouch after I reinstall my apps.

Edit: Interesting that it looks like they removed the browser easter egg from stock search.
[Nook Touch General] Zydraka:
The update doesn't give it any multi-touch unfortunately. But I was able to get Meteor Blitz to recognize two points on the screen at once the other day. I installed a bunch of video games and was experimenting with them.
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
I have not broken my updated toy yet, but I can say that the fonts are crispier, on the menus and reading book. Page flipping is a breeze. No multitouch yet...
[Nook Touch General] cymoze:
The update is definitely a no-go with Touch Nooter for me. I'll keep wifi off for the next few weeks and hold out for a Touch Nooter update before attempting the stock firmware upgrade again.

@Apeine: I wish I could just enjoy the touch update like you, but I have too much kindle and read it later material to do that.
[Nook Touch General] user4242:
so is it working (the root i mean)?
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Cymoze,

I'm just finishing a task for my wife (it'll take another couple of hours) and I'll root it. I've made my backup, so the only that I can lose is time. I miss ACV and ezpdf for reading pdf (lots of stuff to read and highlight!), and of course reading email and using opera mini for web browsing!

A couple of hours later:

Well, I tried to root using touchnooter, but it gets to a neverending loop on the sign in screen after the droid (the keyboard doesn't show up), and when I try to turn it off, it goes back to the barnes and noble screen with the blinking dots and after 4 seconds, back to android screen and a sign in screen that does not work.

Time to start all over!!!!!!!!!!!
[Nook Touch General] tamasrepus:
So, you only tried TouchNooter? TouchNooter seems a little fragile, it doesn't surprise me it'd break.

Have you tried manually (i.e. see NookDevs.com) with the rooted RAM disk (noogie.img)?
[Nook Touch General] beh:
Noogie works. Running Launcherpro on 1.1.0 now. I haven't gotten Market to work yet though.

Two questions for those of you who have rooted the latest v1.1 firmware:

(1) Does it make it easier to scroll in the brower? I realize that v1.1 disables the default brower easter cookie so I'm talking about e.g. opera mini.

(2) Is it still running froyo?
