[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crypt0kiddie:
I've done the factory reset from stock firmware, I've done the factory reset from CWM 4 and 5.

I've manually wiped from adb using rm -R and rm -rf for /dbdata /system /cache /data, all of which appear to be wiped and then doing an "ls" reports the directors are GONE.

Then I flashed stock GB stock rom, booted up and guess what? My default gmail and wirless networks were STILL there.

Adb'ed back after a root'ed kernel and manually went into the folders and deleted EACH file, then backed out and deleted the folders. Rinse, wash and repeat with the ROM and guess what? default Googles still there along with the Wireless.

Also one thing to note is that with every one of these wipes, boots, flashes etc, lets say I setup the Tab and install a couple apps, add my wireless, change my wallpaper etc, when I reboot, it's ALL gone. The Tab's back to default fresh like I just flashed.

Spent like an hour with Rodderik in the #gtab channel trying to figure this out.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrew_Low:
Ok. I believe you.

I still can't rationalize what is happening there. One thing you can trust about computers is they do what they are told. However, sometimes it's hard to understand what you've told then to do.

Kies knows how to restore user state. It's also somewhat evil in terms of still running when you've quit it. Make sure Kies is not running.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chimstar:
sounds like somehow you may have a read only nand mode going on...strange haven't heard of this problem with the samsung its quite popular with the dell streak 7....in the dell streak 7 many people have to send it back to dell to repair it no other way... as for it on the samsung like i said never heard of the problem but if you can't reset properly or everything reverts to a state upon reboot then you may have whats called read only mode basically anything you install change add once you reboot the device it erases everything you did to it....from what i have read its a failsafe in linux try reading a few of the dell streak 7 problems with read only mode it may help in understanding and maybe finding a solution good luck. then again i may be wrong but just what you described sounds similar.

can neone temme how to flash a cm7 kernel provide me wid d links and temme which recovery to use(2nd init,goapks or cwm?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] die2mrw007:
Is it possible ?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jh20:
i have not tried installing cm9 yet. but from what i read, you just simply reboot into recovery and do the following to downgrade to cm7:

1. wipe data and cache.

2. go into advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

3. go back, and select install zip from sd.

4. select zip from sd, and choose cm7 stable zip and flash. the full stable rom already contains the cm7 kernel. no need to flash separately.

5. again, select gapps zip and flash.

6. reboot.

if you just want to flash cm7 kernel because you want to install a nightly build (without kernel), just flash cm7-kernel-signed.zip, follow by the nightly zip, in step 4.

1) Flash froyo sbf (stock rom)

2) root using superoneclick, install sndinitdefy

Then reboot into custom recovery and follow the below steps
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acuap:
Do you really need to flash froyo kernel first?

I have to come back to CM7 and do I really need to flash SBF first? Or can I simply flash CM7 with kernel package?

No need to flash SBF. Just go into recovery, wipe data/cache and dalvik cache, flash CM7 kernel, flash CM7 build, flash gapps for CM, wipe cache and dalvik cache.

DONE!

Do you miss the hardware buttons? Also because you aren't tied to hardware buttons does that mean you can use it with any side up?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] r_3:
I dont miss them. The HC interface lends itself better to a tablet and the on screen buttons work very well for me. The stylus support is an added bonus.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] Kire1820:
does it feel faster or slower?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] bsweetness:
Much faster for me.

And count me as one who doesn't miss the hardware buttons. You have pretty much the same screen real estate to work with in most instances since the navigation bar at the bottom replaces the notification bar at the top. So in most situations, it's a pretty even trade-off. The difference comes when using full-screen apps, but as mcord11758 mentioned, there are ways around that.

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Undeveloped:
I have a stock ATT 8.9 LTE that I just finished rooting (Thanks Da_G!). I want to pull off the ATT bloat (ie FamilyMap, YPages, Navigator) but would like to make sure they are available for reinstallation for whatever reason.

Anyone willing to share insight as the best way to do this? I have VERY limited knowledge of Android as this is my first device (excluding the SR II S they tossed me when I bought the tab).

Thanks-

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:

[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
Titanium backup is the best to remove the bloat as well.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] bdfull3r:
if you are using the ATT version, then the bloat should be available in the Android market to redownload if you like something. If not, stock APK's are available

to get rid of bloatware. Root, titanium backup, custom ROM
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] goenieg:
I use "bloat freezer" for that, it's in the market, free
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] kobygold:
As Orlando offered, I would also recommend Titanium Backup.

Titanium Backup can "freeze" apps, without removing them from the ROM!

So you don't have to completely delete them in order to disable them.

If you are sure you don't need them anymore ,it can also remove them completely.

...'member how you guys were saying BLOOD & GLORY should be Xperia PLAY Optimized?

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.glu.gladiator

Yeah, yeah... you got me, XDA... you got me.

I ain't sad though, I just got a new game to play on my Xperia PLAY :)

EDIT: Interestingly enough, the swipe-based attacking aspect isn't what we have to worry about. Strikes are mapped to the touch-pad, and it actually feels a bit better than swiping on the screen just because you don't have to swing over such a large area. Sadly, that's about where it ends since blocking and dodging aren't tied to any buttons. Kinda breaks what was almost an awesome experience.

Luckily, this wouldn't be hard for Glu to fix... and when it is fixed, we'll be rid of those damned "tap and pray" dodge buttons that costed us so many victories in the touch-based versions of this.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] speedyink:

I guess you want to keep your idea to yourself (and whoever you work with), but a bit more info is required.

XML coding isn't actually a thing. Sounds like you want a web developer with experience of working with XML. If so, what platform and/or languages?
[General Topics] thermus:
Xml is a type of coding. I am familiar with html since I'm an amateur web developer. XML coding is like when you create an apk and there are xml files in an apk for let's say the settings side of thing. I'm not good with html but I guess I will have to research on my own and figure it out.

Can't be that hard. Was just being lazy lol.
[General Topics] Archer:
Lol - fair enough.

XML isn't actually coding though. It literally is just a way of handling data, so yeah - perfect for settings and config etc.. If some XML files are the only thing holding you back then a bit of Googling is all you need.

Or are you actually looking for an Android app developer?
[General Topics] thermus:
If someone is familiar with making live Wallpapers then yes, those ate the people I am looking for. :) I'm willing to let someone in on my idea to help me out. I will do all the graphic stuff and they will do all the apk stuff. Of course, I would like to learn as well. I'm offering 50% of the stakes which could be a ton of money if we do it right.
[General Topics] Archer:
I'd be interested myself, but I've been a windows developer for too long. I'm just learning Android dev at the minute, so I wouldn't be any help.

With any thread like this it just takes time, as most of the dedicated developers spend their time in development forums. Just wait till you get noticed and I reckon you'll get plenty of responses.

Maybe the Android dev Q&A or general forums would be better places for you to get noticed?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Ok, I've side-loaded a generic .APK file, into a sub-dir within the 1.0-GB

area. (Previously, I likewise side-loaded a movie file into this same area, and it plays great.)

As I read other posts asking this same type of question about procedures/rules

for installing side-loaded apps, I'm not yet clear on a few things, such as

whether I need to be 'rooted' to install them and whether I first need to

purchase/install separate SD-card and load such generic apps there instead.

My current state is:

(1) My Nook tablet is still at 1.4.0 (i.e. I have NOT yet received the 1.4.1

update that blocks installation of such APKs.)

(2) My NT is NOT yet rooted.

When I view/select the side-loaded generic app, see a red question-mark on the file, and tappin it, I get msg:

"This nook cannot read this file. It may be an unsupported format."

So, what should I try next, to allow this file-type of .APK to be

a supported type? :confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] CapsLockKey:
Is this your first non-B&N apk? If so, I believe you have to download and install at least one apk directly through the Tablet's browser to get the option changed to allow sideloaded apks.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Well, it WAS my first non-B/N app.

So, I installed an app, one named 'Skitch', from the BN app store.

But, that makes no difference at all...my original side-loaded APK file

still gives the same error msg that I mentioned in the base post.

So, your 'belief' seems to be incorrect.

Anyone else know what to do, to install side-loaded .APK files? :confused:

[This issue could end up being one more nail in the coffin...if I don't resolve this,

I'll have to strongly consider returning this device, and waiting for a 'true' Android

tablet this spring, with newer, more main-stream code (e.g. 'Ice Cream Sandwich')

in it.]
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jschatzman:
Hi cookdav,

CapsLockKey is correct about needing to download an apk through the browser in order to do what you would like.

I noticed this yesterday after playing with my NT for the first time. When you download an apk through the browser you will see a notification in the lower left hand corner that it is complete. You have to launch the apk from this notification in order for the file to be correctly recognized.

When I went to my downloaded files and tried clicking the apk file I got the same message you are seeing. It seems to me that the BN overlay does not natively recognize the apk file format, but the code responsible for the notifications does.

You should then be able to follow the directions for enabling ADB. After that you can use adb to install any apk file you would like.

I hope this helps and that it was clear.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] dkb218:
What does installing an app from the B&N app store have to do with side loading an app from the browser or email? Have you bothered to read the "how to side load apps thread?"

How you can fix your face to say "your 'belief' seems to be incorrect." when you aren't following instructions is funny as hell.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
The operative word there is 'seems'. :(

And, yes, I did read that thread, but obviously now, I missed something.

I guess I missed the distinction, between installing an app via 'shop'

and installing an app via the browser. So, shoot me.

[That said, I'm still a bit confused. But, reading-between-the-lines has always

been problematic for some of us newbies.

I'll go back and re-read everything 3 times again,

and I'm sure that these distinctions will eventually become clear to me.] :o

Thanks for clarifying.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] cookdav:
Ok, did one thru the browser, but still no-go...

Ok. I installed 'golauncher', via the browser.

Sigh. But, once again, after that, when I go back and try to install

the earlier-mentioned .APK, it still says what it has been saying all along.

Hmm..a new possibility has occurred to me: Maybe I'm so immersed in

Linux and Windows-XP and Win-7, that that has made me too stupid

to follow directions and learn this new 'tablet-way' of doing things. :eek:

[Whoever said "The devil is in the details" must have been an Android user.]

Clearly, I've STILL missed something, after re-reading. Anyone got

any more ideas/guesses of what I might still be missing? :confused:
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] agnes00777:
"this nook cannot read this file" although I do sideload apks

I got a similar problem with Nook Tablet wit 1.4.0

I have managed to download an app so that my settings have been changed to accept those apps

If i go to another app market, I do install apps.

But for some reason I am limited (Amazon Apps refuses to work because I am not in the US and others have limitations which I dont understand, as on a chinese android pc they work, however)

SO I d like to install from sd card

And i get this message "this nook cannot read this file"

If I mail to gmail, in nook mail I cant open attachment (nor any others)

Any workaround?

Thanks

Agnes
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ShinnAsuka:
I don't think you can install apk's through the native file browser. You will need a different file browser to install your apk's.

if you are downloading directly from the internet browser, then the installation process is the same as installing the tgps launcher or in your case go launcher.

However, if you are sideloading your apk's through something like dropbox or an sd card, you will need a file browser.

I recommend Root Explorer (paid), but if you need a free one you can download es file explorer.

es file explorer can be found in the must have apps thread located in the themes and apps section of the NT forums. Just go to that page on your NT internet browser and click the download link. You will be redirected to a download page, and there should be something that says "remove this frame". Tap on that and your download should start.

hope this helps
