[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Storm08:
Thank you :) does that make a backup of the current ROM so if something does go wrong then i can just restore it via clockworkmod?

Btw, when i tried backing up via clockwork mod it generates an error (sorry if this is noobish :P im new to this! :D)

It says:

Error whilst dumping boot image!

E: Cant mount CACHE:recovery/log

E:Cant find MISC:

Any ideas?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipaman:
yeah this happens quiet often when backing up the system....Boot into the Clockwork mod and then from there back up the system.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Storm08:
Thanks for the reply, this was what i was trying to do, i've installed revolutionary now and it has backed up fine :)

and ive just got cyanogenmod loaded on here now :) looks awesome! :P I have a feeling im gonna get addicted to installing roms now ... lol.

If i run into any more problems with rooting and custom roms, etc, then ill use this thread again so the forum doesn't get clogged up with my life story xD

Thanks very much for the help and replies, thanks has been given :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipaman:
Anytime......Yeah flashing roms kinda becomes addictive after some time....:D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Storm08:
lol, i can imagine :P errrrmm btw, i had backed up my apps using titanium backup, although i havent got any of my original apps on the phone now, and android market isnt installed either.

its mostly the fact that i cant access android market that im wondering about

If you could gimme a reply soonish then that'd be good.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipaman:
Which rom did u flash???? If it's a cm7 based rom then, yes u won't have market and other google apps. There should a file in that same thread called gapps. Get the latest one and flash it just the way u flash the rom.

Hit The Thanks Button if I have Helped.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Storm08:
Kool, ive done that, got all my apps back and got all my messages and contacts :) awesome! Easy once you know how :P thanks very much for your help! btw which ROM would you recommend from experience?

If you go to enable VPN, it requires you to set a lock on your phone. Is there a way around this or a mod you can do if you are rooted to bypass this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stefanrusek:
This is also driving me nuts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crimper:
I don't know if SecureSettings Tasker plugin supports ICS, but if it does, I can imagine a Tasker profile that enables lock right before you about to connect via VPN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rizlaq:
yeah, it's crazy. i don't even want to save my vpn password, so why should I be forced to use the secured cred. storage?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sputnik99:
the only way I found so far is to delete the vpn after using it an re-entering when you need it. My admin loves it, I hate it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] ns4smi:
So this forum has been all but derailed by rude and impulsive posters who flame thread after thread if they dont get their way. Never mine they contribute almost nothing to the dev scene. I saw the other day yet another talented dev is on the way out because of these few brats. Any way to contact the mod or add additonal moderators to weed out the trolls so the other members dont lose out?

Sent from my Infuse running KL2 goodness

Mod Edit: I see that this is only your second post in XDA and it is already a rant.

I suggest you first learn how to report posts and then rant regarding moderators...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Jep56:
Well said. Seems like we have people new to Android/ smartphones, who feel entitled to answers that they can find themselves if the just read! And if they don't get answered within minutes, they call a ROM junk or jump the Dev. They should just go back to Iphone and remain a zombie!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Digital_Biped:
Totally agree with above, seems like a lot of tempers flared and people jumped ship. This phone still rocks and I hope support continues for it.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
@OP: Looks like you are kinda late with this observation. We already lost quite a few devs. Moderators on this forum are pretty much more strict when compared to captivate forums, and this still keeps happening.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jscott30:
Agreed. This is still a great phone, and I hope that more folks will stick around to figure stuff out vs. waiting for a few devs to do everything for them. We have a few devs still looking out for us, and we should appreciate them rather than gripe at them. I plan to stick around for awhile, and will just ignore and stay out of any drama. Once we get source from AT&T Gingerbread, development should pick up some.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Digital_Biped:
I wish I could support more than I am now. Code doesn't scare me but I am at NO level to help with development (the devs almost seem like magicians at times) but in terms of theme-ing or anything visual that would need to be created I would be happy to help (buttons, icons, backgrounds, etc) because that is in my field.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
+1

It seems when we get new devs, ppl flood the threads with a "gimme" attitude and when they don't get their way they ***** and moan. I've been following here since the phone came out and it's amazing how hard ppl bite the hand that feeds them...

There are more noobs here than we know what to do with and they are constantly snapping at the devs, constantly posting repeat questions and asking stupid ass questions in ROM threads. (usually answered in the OP) No wonder all of our useful members are upgrading and leaving. I'm hoping the moderators can step in if this gets any worse.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adalgiso:
Report bad posts. They can't fix what they can't see, and it's not feasible to be babysitting 100 threads. broncogr will clean up the baddies, but the community needs to police itself. Don't respond to bad posts, just report them and move on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] tmease1:
I had my own post closed down and i had to find a moderator to do it. It didn't take him long to close it once he got my pm.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] diablo009:
Easier way would be to report the post you want to take down. That would get quicker attention than an IM.

---------- Post added at 12:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:58 PM ----------

Mention about searching to them, and here are the common retorts we get back:

1. Too many pages on ROMs to browse through

2. Its easier to ask and get answer than browse through

3. Why don't you just answer me than increase post count by telling me to search

What they fail to realize is that Q&A thread of a ROM is created specifically to address the ROM's issues, and searching there is the first thing to be done.

Maybe we should get a warning tab that shows warning levels given to any user. After certain number of warning, its the ban hammer on them for a short while that would restrict them from posting anything.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] broncogr:
Instead of ranting and taking matters into your own hands why dont you just report the offending posts and they will be taken care of.

Unless you believe that mods are going to read any and all threads and any and all posts on a daily basis.

I try to keep the forum clean, move posts to the correct subforum and answer quickly to any reported posts and pm's.

But if you dont report it I will not be able to see it....

Cheers
[HTC Amaze 4G] Nshih422:
Well, I know I stumbled on a thread on how to do this before but I have been searching for hours and can't seem to find a working method, so I apologize if it's right in front of my eyes.

I am looking for a way to have the external SD card mounted to /mnt/sdcard instead of /mnt/sdcard2.

The Internal Storage is useful but I would like to have it mounted as sdcard2 or something else, even if I lose the functionality completely, it wouldn't bother me. I would like to have my External SD as my main storage unit for the phone and apps.

If this is at all possible please guide me in the right direction.

Thanks in advance

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
Everytime I'm on a sense rom it runs super smooth for the like the first hour then i start getting extreme lag. By lag I mean I can barely go to the screen,when I use the keyboard it's really delayed and laggy. The only way to stop the lag is to wipe dalvik cache and cache. But that solves it temporarily. Is the partitioned card causing the lag? I'm using the stock sd card that came with my phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobarune:
I think It's slow because your dalvik cache is on your partition. Use a2sd help in terminal to find the command to move it back to the cache partition. I'm blanking on that command.

Edit: type in

su

a2sd cachepartreset

This will move it back to the cache partition and clear it and reboot your phone.

If that doesn't work you can try

a2sd nocachereset

Which will move the dalvik cache to the internal storage.

my evo is aggressively runny
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
When I use a2sd GUI when I try to move it to cache it tells me not enough space
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobarune:
Try

su

a2sd nocachereset

It will move it to internal storage

my evo is aggressively runny
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
Will try later currently on miui so can't test because I don't use a2sd on it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
So I decided to unpartition and reformat my card. I only get that lag I mentioned on sense roms. So I'm going to stick to miui for now. Most likely going to best buy later and getting a class 10 card
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notorious:
I actually looked to see what class my card was an its 8gb class 4 :confused: thought it would be good enough

This is the 2nd time clockwork recovery screwed me and did not back up my system files right.

First time was on my EVO 4g

and EVO View

I wiped all my data and then ran the recovery and the thing is stuck on the white screen

Does any1 have a stock rom for the HTC evo view?

and can I install Ra recovery on?

This is BS.... I lost pretty much a ton of data again
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
Can you describe your starting/ending points for both backup and restore what you backed up and what you restored.

And rather than reinstalling stock, adb shell into your view and run logcat, there might be a clue there for us to help you without having to reinstall.

You could start by wiping the cache and dalvik cache.

EDIT: this belo doesn't apply in your case for now, but I'll leave it here for people who search:

For example if you backed up GB and restored from HC or vice versa that will *never* work.

If you're on HC with entirely official rom or a leak installation method other then my one then there is the HTC hboot to contend with, where you don't have write access to all partitions when booted to recovery.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] thesssfactor:
I Nad backup the standard sprint stock rom b4 I flash hc rom.

So I got an error message about my wimax not working so I updated the profile.

Next thing neither 3g or 4g was working.

So I went into cw recovery - wipe data, cache, dav cache (basically all the options to wipe)

Then I tried to restore my old nad backup

and poof screen stuck on white screen.

(I am about to just install {ROM][VIEW][ACS]CleverNameHere Rom and but I would like to install an factory sprint rom.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] globatron:
I'd still like to see the logs so I can get a fix if there is a real problem, but leaving that aside the stock RUUs are in the stock rom thread in the dev forum ( Express (not expresskt) ones are View )

how do u flash them?

I havn't recently wiped my only comp with sdk installed so i have to reinstall everything on another computer.

and i tired to use cw recovery to flash it - sooo didnt work and the only shipped rom thats closed to the actually size you cant even download

thats why I posted this

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] maktucali:
what?

Did you flashed a hc ROM on a view? what ROM did you flash and is it just the sprint Wimax thats screwed? Iz the the view functional for just wifi use? I use my view just for wifi I dont need Wimax nor 3g from sprint..

NO of course he didn't. I posted an extended answer so someone with a flyer might find information if they searched.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] sargasso:
Holy brown stuff, they consider our phone optimized for gingerbread!

Why do i need the following to get a reasonable performance:

- a different file system

- a different partitioning (tegrak)

- a tweaked kernel

- init scripts to turn things on/off that sammy forgot

The whole idea of updatable software running on fixed hardware is to be able to expand hardware lifetime and offer expandable functionality.

The least they could do is to offer the community proper access to all the code, source and/or usable binaries, needed to continue the development after they drop support.

SGS is a great phone, although it never did what was promised like gps or hdmi out.

As a programmer i am disgusted by the IT hardware industry. There is no relation between manufacturing costs and selling costs. And now we even seem to be forced to throw away functioning hardware with more computing power then we could imagine 20 years ago. And why do we have to polute this way?

Silly copyrights and unused patents.

300million devices sold 2011 a big part should be sgs can't they give us some love? I hope they will leak ICS roms anyway like they are doing with gb now. and since nexus s got it, they can't blame the hardware for being outdated.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ballsofsteel:
Galaxy S optimized for gingerbread? Very sad to know Samsung is putting it that way. I guess it is a big disappointment for us 10 million+ Galaxy S users.

This surely keeps me away from buying Samsung Android handsets, or even any android handset for that matter. I begin to see how fragmentation is a problem in Android. My 3rd generation iPod Touch running iOS 5 with a 600 mhz processor and 256 MB of RAM is more stable and snappy than my Galaxy S with a 1200 mhz (OCed) processor and 512 MB of RAM. Funny thing is, it still gets software updates despite being almost a 3 year old product. The Galaxy S isn't even out for 2 years yet.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krazykat:
I think, the just don't see how they can port ics with tw3. Obviously, they can't do aosp either (being a Samsung device). Only option is to get a cm9 mod or custom rom.

also... since most roms arent 4g enabled... how do i enable that?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Erik_T:
Ummm......... no. Sorry.. to everything...... expect many Kansas City has LTE! Sweet..

Infuse runs HSDPA... and ALL the roms in this section have 4g enabled... so.. yeah.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
AT&T deployed towers you don't have the hardware to use... Doesn't matter.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dani897:
Infuse is fauxG not 4g. It doesn't have an lte radio not does the sgs2, hence the skyrocket. Also look at all the earlier lte Verizon phones, see how thick the charge (similar to the infuse) and the thunderbolt are? That is the early 4g radio in there. Granted thin lte phones are possible like the skyrocket and razor it was too impractical or expensive when the infuse came out.

Tmobile released phones with faster 3g radios and beefed up the network calling it hspa+ aka "4g" the infuse has hspa+ only. This has nothing to do with lte.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Optimus-Prime:
It is 4th generation technology. Just not a LTE radio.

Good morning ladies and gentleman,

long time viewer just not much of a poster. I recently sold my ATT HD7S and I know that this is for the T mobile version but it should be relative as far as my question goes. I had the HTC hD7S and I did a factory reset when I was completed. I didnt do anything else to it and now the owner is telling me that the phone still thinks its me. I asked for an example.

The ESPN Scorecenter App tells him its me and he uploaded his favorite teams on there. I look on my ESPN from a computer and it has his teams and not mine anymore.

Should I tell him to do another factory reset and hope for the best? Thanks!

I've been looking at this battery. http://www.amazon.com/Hyperion-Incredible-3500mAh-Extended-Compatible/dp/B005CJDPRY

It's a 3500mah with the battery cover, for 14.99. Sounds like a steal. Anyone have experience with it? The reviews on Amazon all sounds good but it's amazon, so I don't trust the reviews all that much.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] seejoshplay:
I don't have any experience with it, however - Verizon gave me the extended battery for free.

Try calling them up, and complaining of poor battery life. Like, 6 hours. They will ask you questions about use, recharing, water damage, ect. Play dumb & tell them that you are trying to do everything right (not leave it on charger, don't let battery overheat, turn off battery draining services, ect).

Then, they should (if you phone is under warranty) offer you a batter. At this point, ask for the extended battery, and make sure the rep knows that you want the one that comes with the new battery door.

Should be able to score it for free, worked for me. No screaming, yelling, or cursing required. I just calmly explained the problem. It works because your battery is covered by the mfg. warranty that lasts a year.

Good luck.

Btw, the OEM extended battery is redonkulous. straight up crazy. the only problem is finding a case that does not suck balls.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] HypostaticOnion:
Lol I like that ;)

I kinda wanna get the ext. battery too. I have talked to a guy who works for Verizon, I wonder if I could get him to score me one (insert devious laughter here)

Cheap cheap cheap. You get what you pay for.

I'm disgusted with the "antennas" in the battery cover. They are sprayed-on metallic paint. Reception sucks, GPS unuseable, and I am not the only one with this experience. Keep your packaging and receipt, cuz yer gonna want to return it.

I could imagine trying to get away with it if you had a different battery cover, but I highly doubt the thing is even 35oomAh anyway. Cheap is as cheap does. Get the OEM.

EDIT:

This is the one I purchased. Not "Hyperion" but it looks as though it is the same battery cover. Read the less happy reviews on the hyperion battery, they confirm my suspicions...
