[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bandis710:
That depends on what kind of update it will be ... The update from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4 on my i9023 nexus was a full rom and could be flashed without a problem.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] snandlal:
Go back to latest available stock version. (Rooted with Superuser.apk in /system/app is OK) & Keep your Custom Recovery or reflash it.

Put a Superuser flashable zip on your sdcard.

When you have the OTA update.zip somewhere on your sdcard ( Copied from /cache) boot into custom recovery

Flash update.zip manually and directly after it flashes, flash the Superuser.zip right on top of update.

Wipe /cache

Reboot

Download Joeykrim's flash_image gui from the market.

Place custom-recovery.img on root of sdcard. (Rename it to recovery.img)

Flash custom recovery in flash_image gui

Change permissions of /system/etc/install-recovery.sh & /system/recovery-from-boot.p to "000"
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4I-I:
I would just wait till ics is out and then youll find a flashable .zip here on xda and you can just flash that like you did with the matr1x kernel... not shure if full wipe would be nescesary but if yes then you can backup your apps through titanium or sth similar! ;)

Edit: what i actually wanted to say that theres no need to go back to stock now because you can get the update over xda and just flash that! ;)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp420:
while we're on the topic....would editing the build.prop keep an OTA from installing? For example, LCD density??
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Why not just wait like one day for someone to post a rooted stock ICS rom? I am sure one of our wonderful devs here will be all over it. It will probably show up in one of those REF threads pretty quickly. Then you don't have to mess around with setting root up again. That's what I always did with my EVO Shift so I'll probably do it with this phone as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpaixao:
If you hadn't modified your build.prop or removed system apps, you'll just need to flash the stock kernel. Theres no need to flash the whole stock Rom.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkbert2:
What if your bootloader is unlocked and nothing else. Will it get the OTA?

That's exactly what I was looking for... but where would I find the stock Kernel and can I overwrite it while the system is in use? I downloaded the entire stock ROM for her phone so I should have the file somewhere in one of the IMG files (yes, I have mounted them before in Windows)

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thomashofmann:
Hi,

I use Tiamat 2.2.2 on a Wifi Xoom and noticed that I cannot send emails from the built-in email app. The messages I am trying to send are always stored in the draft folder.

Logcat tells me that sending emails in inhibited while a monkey is using the device.

So I decompiled the email app and as it turns out there is a check for the monkey test driver that cause the email not to be sent when ActivityManager.isUserAMonkey returns true.

Now, that method usually read the ro-monkey system property and if it is set to 1 / true will return true.

To check I also called the isUserAMonkey method from one of my own apps and it returns true for sure.

The questions is why. getprop will not show the ro.monkey system property set. When I set it using setprop ro.monkey 0 the method still returns true.

Now I wonder if there is something deep inside the system property implementation that was changed to always return true for some reason. I could not find anything until now.

The ActivityManager.isUserAMonkey method looks normal to me after decompilation. So if there is a patche somewhere it's got to be deeper (maybe on the native level).

I searched for this porblem but was unable to find a similar report of this issue which I find quite strange as sending email should be a common use case.

I'm stuck at this point and would appreciate some help with this.

Thanks, Thomas
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
My screen occasionally will not sleep. It does not even Dim.

I don't have any background apps installed like setcpu, oc etc.

Just straight apps. Calculator, weather bug (with backgroud updates turned off), etc.

It does not happen all the time. Just occassionally.

Sometimes even after a reboot it will just stay on and not sleep.

Some times just hitting the power button to force sleep fixes it. I wake it and then it goes to sleep fine.

I posted this problem in CleanROM thread and Scott (the CleanROM author) said he occasionally sees it to and does not know the cause.

I was curious if this occurred in other ROMs and if anyone might know the cause.

I'm running the Kernel that came with Clean ROM 2.9.5 by mwalt2 (with the DIM buttons and always on until cleared notification LED).

I also tried restoring CleanROM 2.5 and it did it too (I think it uses the same kernel).
[HTC EVO 3D] #Winning#:
Try reflashing the rom after doing a full wipe, and don't try to restore anything. I would also maybe try out a different kernel and see if that doesn't fix the issue.
[HTC EVO 3D] mswlogo:
I never restore anything after a wipe. Defeats the purpose of a "wipe" :)

I think it might be the Kernel.

People are to quick to say, I have no idea, so wipe it.

If I had to do that every time someone at work had a computer problem I'd be fired.
[Droid X General] mdemps9190:
So I've searched around the net, and am not 100% sure what to do. Here is my situation.

I "rooted" my phone awhile ago, or so I thought, but now despite having superuser and trying to do the fix and update for it, it doesn't work, and no app can gain root access, however when I try to run droid easy root, it says i'm already rooted.

I'm running GB with build # 4.5.1_57_DX5-35 (if that helps).

All I want to do is re-root or whatever and install a rom (miUi specifically) over the default gingerbread motoblur one. I'm on a Mac btw and don't know much about this stuff...Any help is appreciated.
[Droid X General] ngholson:
use the zergrush (aka doomlord) method posted in my signature, should fix you right up

edit: eww just saw where you said you were on a mac, not sure if this will work for the mac, i know that superoneclick also now uses the zergrush method. perhaps there is a mac version of that.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] nigezee:
I rooted my razr using doomlords method and now i cant re-root it. Everything was fine until my gmail wasnt able to reply to messages so i unrooted and now it works again. So when i tried to re-root it, it didnt complete. I originally did i from another computer and that computer broke down on me. The cpu i have now doesnt have internet access. Could that be the reason why it wont root? Do i have to do a system reset? I dont get what im doing wrong. Please help
[Motorola Droid RAZR] b.o.n.s:
I think it has something to do with the motorola USB drivers you need to install.

you can check it also with ADB. I think you computer doesn't see your phone.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Oaklands:
I had the the same problem when trying to re-root my razr. I went through the batch file lineby line typing it in manually. Here is what I found. It was not installing superuser the 2nd time around. It looked like I was rooted as I could use astro to access the / folder. I installed superuser and it started working.

Give this a try. Hope it helps.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] nigezee:
ok so i tried to root my phone again with my work cpu and it still wont root. it reads cannot find the specified file. when i plug the phone to the computer it reads the device because it says all drivers are installed and ready to use. i also installed super user again and still the same thing. my phone still acts like its rooted but it really is not. i un-rooted using ginger un-root. now what? im thinking about just backing up my fone again, doing a reset and then root and then put everything back the way it was. but i dont wanna get rid of my free wifi tether. thanks for you suggestions so far, any other ideas?....

[HTC Sensation XL] EliteTiger86:
I really can't understand what the problem is as it's not something I've heard of or even encountered, but it doesn't sound right!

Can you take it back to the phone store that you made your purchase of the handset so they can take a look at it and if need be replace it?
[HTC Sensation XL] rhedgehog:
a bit drastic for what is probably just a corrupt contact in the database...

First off, clear the data for people in the applications settings menu

home>menu>settings>applications>manage applications>all>people>clear data.

also, try removing any accounts that you may have set up to sync the contacts with, like HTC Sense, Facebook, twitter etc.

Now, if once that's all done, it works fine, then set up the other accounts again one by one to find out which one is screwing it up.

Chances are, someone has put something stupid in their facebook profile, like putting 'ask me if you want it' as their phone number, instead of just leaving it blank.
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Okay, I decided to make my class 10 32gb external MicroSD card the main SD card. However, I noticed that even though they are flipped now, when I install applications, it won't load stuff in the /sdcard/.android_secure directory. Instead, it's STILL loading it into the built-in SD card which is now mounted at /sdcard-ext.

If I move the information from the /sdcard-ext to /sdcard, it eventually breaks the apps and I have to reinstall them again, which causes them (when moved to the sdcard) to be still placed into the /sdcard-ext/.android_secure directory.

However, if I go back to the default Droid X2 configuration (internal SD card mounted to /sdcard and my 32gb class 10 external mounted to /sdcard-ext), when I then move the apps to the SD card, it places them into the /sdcard/.android_secure directory.

It seems with the flip-flop, there is still something "hard-coded" that causes app information to always be loaded onto the built-in internal SD card.

Anyone know why this is?
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
This is exactly why I find the flip flop to not really be necessary

BUT ....data from apps does get stored on the external...like caches...and when u extract wit root explorer for example
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
Well, after "Googling" what the .android_secure directory is for (it's because of using App 2 SD to move the apps to an SD card), I understand what the directory is for, but I'm still confused as to why it would put those files in the internal SD memory. I suppose so it has access to it even when the external SD card itself is removed, I guess.

In any case, I'm also finding under the new Eclipse 2.0 that performance is not what it was under v1.3. Not sure what it is, but games are very choppy. At first, I attributed it to possibly running the games off of the external SD card, but when I flip-flopped back to the stock configuration, performance was STILL bad, so I'm now wondering if it's related to the new Eclipse 2.0 ROM or something else?

I might go and reformat the SD cards and see if that fixes the problem.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
I am willing to bet that if u use v6supercharger that will fix ur choppiness in gameplay.

usually always has for me ;) and others

Check the development sticky for a link.

Don't.be afraid. There are what looks.like VERY confusing directions but its actually quite simple to use if u use script manager to run the script...
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I actually already have it. It's one of the first things I use once I've flashed to a new ROM. Unfortunately, it hasn't helped.

I'm going to copy everything off of both SD cards (internal and external) and reformat them and then try to see if that works. Hopefully, it should as I've had the performance before. If that still doesn't work, I might SBF back to 2.3.4 and see if the performance issue still exists. I'm thinking it's possibly just an issue with having done so many copy and delete operations, that maybe a good format will fix the issue.

Once thing I did when going to Eclipse 2.0 was I couldn't get the stock recovery to find the update.zip file for the 2.3.5 update, so I instead used the BSR recovery instead to install the zip. Not sure if that's good or bad, but I had read somewhere that you needed to use the stock recovery, which didn't seem to work for me. I could never see the zip file even though it was there.

Strange.
[Motorola Droid X2] ashclepdia:
Did u have it on the external sd card?((and u were actually stock when u tried.to apply it?(rooted but no rom is fine..)))
[Motorola Droid X2] iBolski:
I decided to SBF back to 2.3.4 and try the 2.3.5 update again. This time, it worked as far as finding the UPDATE.zip file. Not sure what happened before.

In any case, it seems like there is still an issue with performance, but I just found the 2.0.2 version of Eclipse on Nitro's twitter, so I'm trying it again to see if that might fix it.

Otherwise, I'm going to sbf back to 2.3.4 and then see if the performance is any better there. If it is, then I have to assume it's this release of Eclipse.

UPDATE: Well, on Eclipse 2.0.2, performance tanked. On stock 2.3.4 AND stock 2.3.5, performance is back to what I had before Eclipse 2.0 which was excellent.

I don't know. I like what Eclipse 2.0 has, but if it degrades performance, then I don't know if it's worth it. I'll try again later today. I've already wiped and reformatted both the internal and external SD cards and that hasn't helped either.

UPDATE #2: Okay, upon further exploring, I decided the performance hit had to be coming from one if not two areas: /system/built.prop and/or /etc/init.d/99tweaks. I removed 99tweaks first and that was the problem! I'm currently adding in each line, one by one and testing to see which is causing the performance hit. I'm also going to try and use the latest V6 scripts from Zep to see if that makes a difference.

Also, I diffed the v1.0.3 and v2.0.2 versions and there wasn't any differences except for the checking for the existence of a shell script file that it would execute and then remove.

I'll let everyone know once I find something.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BloodyRory:
Hey xda, Im currently on a stupid ipod typing this, going to be selling this on ebay to fund a tablet. I was thinking about getting the kindle fire until I learned that there is no sd card slot. Then I looked into the nook tablet which is $250 and looked it up on here to realiaze that there isnt much development for it yet (idk if its a new tablet). So then I looked into the nook color which is $200, and learned that there are plenty of roms and dev for it.

So basically I was just wondering will the nook tablet get as much development as the nook color in the future and if not, would the color still perform well enough for a good amount of time?

All im interested in is rooting and installung roms on the tablet, so if it cant do that im not really interested. Im a noob here and a noob to android so I dont know much so help would be greatly appreciAted.

Also if you guys know of anotger good tablet in the $200 price range, it would be awesome if you could tell me about it.

Sorry if this has already been asked and answered.

Thanks!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Entropy512:
No - The Nook Color had a fully unlocked bootloader and could boot directly off of the SD card (and maybe USB too?)

The Nook Tablet can boot directly from USB and from MicroSD, but ONLY if the boot image was cryptographically signed by Barnes and Noble. (e.g. the Nook Tablet has a locked bootloader.)

For this reason, the Tablet will never see anywhere close to the amount of development the Color had. As an example, look at the dismal state of development on many OMAP4-based Motorola phones to see what a locked bootloader does.

They're workarounds (such as second init and kexec), but second init is extremely limiting, and so far no one has succeeded with kexec - even if they do, your risk of bricking is FAR higher with a locked device.

I've heard the Acer Iconia A100 goes on sale fairly cheap on a regular basis. It was $190 on Black Friday.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BloodyRory:
Thanks! Ill give you a thumbs up or thanks or whatever this forum uses when I get home because I cant do it from tapatalk. Ill look up that acer tablet now and edit this post after that.

Edit: Wow! It has a tegra 2 as well! 2 cameras as well! Jeez an its about the same price as the nook tablet was. Thanks! Im gonna look in the dev section for this tablet on the forums and see what I can find :D
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
You've listed some of the good points about the Iconia A100. Here's the flip side:

Battery life sucks. The A100 has half the battery capacity of the A500, which was already reviewed as having the worst battery life of the 10" crop.

Screen (TN display) sucks, especially in portrait mode. You better be holding it within the tiny sweet spot else display will solarize.

Community support is near zero. Check out the A100 dev forum.

Now, one may tout the GPS, crappy cams, and the anemic Tegra2 as advantages. But battery life, screen quality, and community support easily trump the trivial hardware features.

The NT-vs-NC comparison is more interesting. The short answer is that it depends on your use. The NC has a weak CPU, but it's versatile enough in its various use cases, eg e-reader, most apps and the majority of games. And as said, it's on track to get ICS. Lastly, it's cheap (currently $129 on sale).

The NT's OMAP 4430 is among the most powerful of the current dual-cores, and is best for watching HD movies, with better usability overall due to its faster speed. With root/sideloading, you are no longer locked into B&N ecosystem, and the unit is almost as versatile as the NC. But it does cost more, almost twice the NC.

The NT's potential depends on how far the devs can get in trying to unlock the NT. Unlike Entropy's "never" reply, I'm not as dogmatic and am willing to wait and see how they fare. It's early.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] BloodyRory:
Oh alright, well I need a good battery because I will be brining it o school and such. The NT would be a good choice for me because I want to run emulators and such, so I would think that having a more powerful cpu would do well with that.

Yeah ive seen zedomax install the android market on it, so I know its not totally locked up. I just want to be able to install roms in the future, thats all. Ive seen my friend with his nexus s and it looks like load of fun tweaking with it. Thts the main reason Im selling the ipod and want to swtich to a small android tablet.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JoeM01:
The real question that it boils down to is this:

What do you want it for?

I've tossed around the idea of returning it, for the simple fact that I can't install custom roms on it. But then, what difference does that really make in my using the device? What will I be able to do once the ROMS are available that I can't do now? Not much, really. It would be neat to have ICS on it, but again, what will I be able to do? At the end of the day, does it run the apps I use? Yes. Would it possibly be a better user experience with a better ROM on it? More than likely.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] yumms:
Well the most important thing are the tablet apps, more and more tablet apps are coming out...and more will come as ICS gets on more devices.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] e.mote:
>Well the most important thing are the tablet apps, more and more tablet apps are coming out

Which of the four HC apps are you referring to? :)

HC is dead. From Google's version tracker, active HC devices stand at 2.4% of total Android. Apart from GNexus, ICS won't show up until next year, and it'll take much longer for ICS-specific apps to show up. By that time, we'll already be jabbering about the Nook 3.

Speaking of which, I do expect B&N to keep in lock-step with Amazon, in releasing a larger tablet come spring. Video content (read: Netflix & co) has the highest pull, and 7" is too small for good video playback. May be B&N can call this the Nook XL.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boomn:
IMHO there are enough 3.0+ apps or apps with tablet versions that only work in 3.0+ to make the difference appreciable, especially if you want landscape mode to be more usable. Google has tablet-optimized versions of Gmail and Reader with split panes. File Manager HD has a nice menu pane. IMDB's app has a very nice layout for 3.0+ tablets. Mizuu and Reddita are 3.0+ only
