Yes, the market restores your apps automatically. Kies will be safer for you.

The new Rom is much smoother.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] H.burns:
what have u done after KP2? root? ext4?

if it's not in ext4 format than having 2700pts in antutu, this rom is awesome.

stock KPQ with ext4 reaches 2500-2600.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] AdrenalineX:
On DDKP2 now...smoothest rom i ever experienced

Above benchmark is with ext4. I testes this on rfs and is about 1500-1600

Hi,

I want to know what the folders in the sdcard hold, and which files are needed and which can be sacrificed.

e.g. there are folders like:

.android.secure

.dataviz

.estrongs

Android

LOST.dir

etc. etc.

Thanks for any help
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emopdx34:
I rooted my NC while it was running 1.2 with manual nooter 4.5.6. Everything went fine and I got it all up and running rather easily. THEN, B&N automatically updated with their 1.4.1 version. It hijacked my "n" button to default to stock home rather than Zeam launcher, made a few Android apps useless (Amazon Mobile, but Kindle and Market work fine). The B&N 1.4.1 stock software was good with access to Netflix and other new apps, and it all worked fine, but I still needed the full Android experience and couldn't get back to it thru the Nook software, so I re-rooted with the same Manual Nooter process. Since the re-root, almost everything is fine, except I've suddenly lost the ability to download anything from B&N in stock area. Click on a book or magazine to download and it brings up the barber's pole status bar but just sits there...nothing every downloads. Can still shop, browse, read pre-downloaded samples, etc...just can't download anything new, including apps from the Nook Market.

Everything else works well, including Amazon Kindle app...but would be nice to still have access to B&N stock stuff running next to MN. Can anyone guide me as to what might be blocking the downloads? Thank you... Eric the Noob
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobstro:
I'm afraid that's the state of things with v1.4.1 for the time being. To be safe, you should use one of the methods for blocking automatic updates, or something similar may happen after each release. With any luck, a work-around will be identified for v1.4.1 any day now. In the meantime, you probably need to revert to v1.3 and block updates.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emopdx34:
Thanks

Strange. Now I downloaded the Netflix app through Amazon App market and functionality works (it never did before, would just get hung up on Netflix splash screen). Oh well. Not being able to download stuff in B&N store isn't a big deal. Small price to pay for having full Android. I can wait. Thank you.
[Nook Color Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miss_october:
have you tried downloading from your laptop/desktop and then when you turn on the nook seeing if its in your library or nook app location?
[HTC Sensation] Planet X:
Since two weeks I own a Sensation XE and I really enjoy it. But my Gallery does not show my Picasa webalbums. When I install a AOSP Gallery the webalbums appear immedeatly. Does anybody have a solution for this problem? I want to use HTC Gallery. I tried a full reset already.
[HTC Sensation] kmdub:
I don't have a solution for you. But, I do have the same problem. I have read many recommendations from clearing the app's data to a full reset. Nothing seems to work. That functionality has never worked for me on my Sensation. I have just given up...lol
[HTC Sensation] Lozone:

Hi,

I want to install a new ROM without loosing any data and settings. I have made a Titanium backup.

As I now have only one SDCard, will ti be OK to copy the titanium directory to the PC, do the clean install, and copy ONLY the TB directory back to the SD, and do a restore?

Thanks for answers,
[Nook Color General] les02jen17:
If the current ROM is any of the ff:

CM7 Stable (7.0, 7.1)

CM7 Nightly

Phiremod

CM7 MiRaGe KANG

AND the new ROM any of the above as well, you can just do the ff:

Put the new ROM's zip as well as any associated Kernel zips to the root of your microSD card (or anywhere really, doesn't matter. It's just so you can easily see and navigate to it)

Reboot to ClockWorkMod Recovery menu. Advisable if you have the latest CWM installed, which would be 3.2.0.1. (You can get the latest CWM through ROM Manager, which can be downloaded off the Market.)

Once you're there, go to Mounts & Storage.

Format System

Format Cache

Afterwards, go ahead and install your new ROM.

Once it boots up, you will still have all your apps even if you don't use TitaniumBackup since you did not format the "Data" partition. :D

All of the instructions above is if your install is in your NookColor's eMMC as opposed to running it off a microSD card.

Hope this helps.
[Nook Color General] velizet:

Booted to CM7.2, lost gmail, lost market. Now trying to roll back.
[Nook Color General] bdcrim:
You may need to reinstall gapps.
[Nook Color General] les02jen17:
Installing gapps again is part of installing a new ROM, which I forgot to mention. My bad. Just download gapps from ROM Manager, then flash it via recovery or via ROM Manager too.

Tapatalkin' it from my rooted NookColor running CM7 MiRaGe [KANG] [7.2 RC] overclocked @ 1.2 GHz
[Nook Color General] velizet:
Hi,

Now I am back to the latest 7.1 Nightly with everything working, had to install market.apk, than gmail.

The reason I do not want to loose data is, as I am not in US, because of some stupid Google policy, I had to sideload some apks like G+, currents, earth, maps, etc. and I do not want to fetch them again.

So my 2 questions are:

1- If I install gapps again, will I be able to keep these sideloaded apps?

2- Is it worth to move to 7.2 at all? (BTW 7.2 RC0 is around 70 MB, whereas the latest nightlies are all around 100 MB)
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Why don't you move those .apk files to another folder, say, the eMMC.
[Nook Color General] velizet:
Because I don't know what will happen if I move those to another place, say, emmc.
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Why would you have to? O-M-G! you aren't one of those, DELETERS are you?
[Nook Color General] votinh:
The .apk file is more like the package, let's say, like a .zip file (in Windows), you can make 1001 one copies if you want. You can move it from drive C: to drive D if you want. You can move it to the external hdd if you want. You can store it on the cloud if you want.

Basically, you do whatever you want with it.

You might not understand what I meant, I guess.

Just store it (them) to another storage so you can access it (them) and reinstall later if you need.
[Nook Color General] velizet:
If you read my op, you will see the answer.
[Nook Color General] velizet:
I know what you mean, but if you look at the context I'm using, that piece of info is not helpful.

What I don't know is the Android system, where it keeps the applications, what happens when I install the system, how are apks affected etc.

For example in windows, you cannot just upgrade the system and expect every installed application to work.

The main point of the original post was trying to understand these.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Unless you want to become an OS developer, in this case an Android OS guru, then you need to learn and understand clearly the structure of it. If you are just a normal user or power user, why make your life harder digging into what and/or how the system and its associated files work???

Just like in Windows, all you need is the installation package (file), install it, it will install to the default directory, all you have to do next is run the executable file and let it run.

Next time, if you want to re-install, all you need is that "installation package". Why do you need to care what happen w/i those default installed folders such win/system32/xxxx or C:\Program Files\xxx?

Yes, sure, you can dig into it to understand more about, but why would you do that if you are just an user?

Back to your question, if I understand correctly, you want to REINSTALL those apps (if they are not coming back after install new ROM) and that's what I tell you.

Another note: unless you are intending installing the completely new custom ROM, /data need to be formatted, otherwise, no need to bother it.
[Nook Color General] velizet:
First of all, according to my philosophy of life, knowledge does not make life harder in the long run.

Secondly, I really doubt copying an .apk file to a medium as you say makes it install automatically.

Thirdly, I want to know when an application is installed, is it contained in its own directory, or does it write something to somewhere like a registry or what, and also where do the former preferences stay, etc.

Hope I can make myself clear.
[Nook Color General] votinh:
Absolutely true, no argument with this.

There is nowhere that I said it will AUTOMATICALLY install. You INSTALL it when you need it.

I leave this question to other Android gurus to help you.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tam89:
hey,

i flashed cyanogenmod on my ray.. but after all u flashed the stock rom again from this forum (ftf via flashtool).

the thing is that SE companion software says (if i want to update /repair my firmware) that the firmware is modified and it wonmt update it. now my question: do i now always have to flash the new roms (for example when ICS will come) or is there a method to get back to the real stock rom so that SE companion will update/repair the firmware?

im on android 2.3.4. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1316070)

its rooted and the kernel is still the one from the cyanogenmod (i think- well, i didnt flash any new kernels after cyanogenmod..just flashed the rom)

bootloader is unlocked

hope you can help me..thx
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] xperia ray:
yes after unlocking bootloader you always have to install stock firmwares via flash tool

use wotan server , it is a great way to install stock rom
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tam89:
hmm okay thanks! .. btw is there a way to lock the bootloader again so i can install the firmware with SE again?

thanks for the tip!
[HTC Wildfire S] johannes_wildfire:
Hi,

I bought a new batterie for my wildfire s (now i think its not original / bought by amazon.de):eek:

Now, when i try to take a photo with flash light then the phone turns off. The light is ok.. (in camcorder mode it works without problems). But when i touch the button to take a photo,.. black screen..

(with the old battery it works without problems) does anyone know whats wrong? will i be able to get my money back? :) thx
[HTC Wildfire S] intel007:
Get a refund, Amazon are always good when it comes to customer service.

Is you phone using stock software? Never seen a problem like this before.
[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
just to clarify...

Are you going out in the dark with a flashlight app and then trying to take a picture?

This could cause the two apps to butt heads and/or two request being sent to your hardware flash (in this case, try disabling the camera flash) or is this a purely when I take a pic that requires flash my phone does a shutdown?

There has been some challenges with development on the camera flash (see unofficial cm7 thread in development). What model WFS do you have? (ie A510x) What rom are using? (if you are on a custom rom, you should know; if not reply "stock"). Not sure I can help, but I will answer what I can for you. The battery you bought's info might also be useful.

Now for the battery questions: was the battery marked for Wildfire S in the ad? How many milli amps? Do you still have the original battery? Does the original battery function? Do you experience the same behavior with the original battery?

Since you have spent some money for a new battery, the least you could do is troubleshoot it before writing it off and sending it back. If you answer the above questions, I will see what I can do... I know a bit about batteries, but no promises.

[HTC Wildfire S] johannes_wildfire:
hi,

so its when i try to take a photo..

yeah with the original bat. it works without problems. (first with this one, too)

[HTC Wildfire S] insink71:
return advice best

There is something about that flasher light [can cause overheating as well]. Best to go with the original battery and return for now. Perhaps if we find a way to undervolt the flasher [and it becomes generally accepted], you can upgrade the battery again in the future. Sorry couldn't be of more help right now for you though.

[HTC EVO 3D] Artanis:
So I have been lurking every thread i can get my hands on about ICS and trying to find out if Sprint is going to get new Galaxy Nexus, and hey i can wait. I no problem. But yesterday i saw a review of the nexus on TWIG and i saw the new voice to text update.

"I Wa Wo...!!!!!!" for those of you who don't speak LazyMouth, I WANT ONE!!! But again i can wait...

more specifically, i want the voice to text update. I have been trying to use the voice options on my 3D for anything it will work for. And it has been getting easier to use but the update looks like I would make hand texting almost null... almost i said almost, some txt i send could be deemed TMI.

THE POINT------> ?

Anyways would it be possible to port that updated version of voice search or what ever part of ICS that makes the nexus Voice-2-Txt awesome? or is there a current way to add that update to my 3D?
