I didn't. Worked fine first boot took along time. I flashed the fist one booted then let it run a little while. Then flashed the next one.
[Acer Iconia A500] mpkrcl:
these are rooted us version, right?

These two are the rooted USA updates, correct? Just want to make sure before I accidentally flash something.
[Acer Iconia A500] krweby:
If you are on this version currently Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. Backup backup backup
[Acer Iconia A500] mpkrcl:
Yes, I am currently on rooted ACER_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2. Will make a nandroid backup in cwm first. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia A500] sxm2:
krweby,

So whats up with 7.014.14 that someone mentioned earlier? Did GEN2 get it?

I came from the Rooted Stock HC 3.2 US thread. Any chance you can create a full updated rooted stock rom?

Thanks for your time helping the a500 community.
[Acer Iconia A500] krweby:
All the updates I pulled by just checking the updates. The ones I posted gets the US Gen2 version up to date. At least here in California. If you hit check for updates and it tells you something other then your up to date let me know. 7.014.14 is for another country. At this time I have no plans to do anything but post the updates. Since I need to do them myself. I don't have the time to do anymore at this point (being Mr. Mom to a 6 month old takes priority over everything else.).
[Acer Iconia A500] sxm2:
First, thank you krweby for the updates.

I have a question. After the update, my market does not take full advantage of the wide screen and there is space on the left and right sides. This can be seen under the Featured section and My Apps section.

Is that normal for others too?

thanks
[Acer Iconia A500] krweby:
Yes the market app has updated . It is that way on mine also.
[Acer Iconia A500] sxm2:

Thanks again.

Installing apps influences the speed of the phone? A faster phone requires less apps?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Not at all..

I have over 600 apps/games installed on my G2x i don't experience any slowdown thanks to great roms and kernels from xda :-)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jetbruceli:
why do you have a second partition on your sd card?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Because i created an ext3 partition so all my apps/games are stored there instead of internal or sdcard. With link2sd you can save tons of space by even moving library files,cache files and others from apps that normally take up space on internal storage. Regular froyo apps2sd does not do this and leaves those on internal storage so you would never be able to install as many apps like i do.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mackster248:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bahamut:
Hello there, im new arround here

I hope you can answer my question:

I am going to initiate a project with android 2.1 (there is still a 9% of dispositives using 2.1, and as i dont know if 2.2 worths it, i will just use 2.1 for compatibility issues). My project will be using in-app purchases, the other stuff is basic but maybe i will add notifications and data downloads in the future. Is it a good idea to use 2.1?

Is there anything nice in 2.2 or 2.3 you can not do with 2.1?

In what version is "in-app purchases" supported?

In what version is "notifications" supported?

In what version is "online file downloads to the dispositive silently" supported? (for when you purchase something)

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] melvinchng:
I think there is not much different between 2.1, 2.2, 2.3. Those os are almost the same. I think you can try 2.3 ..
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
I'm creating an Android App which runs a service. The service runs fine 99% of time, the problem is that sometimes I get a FC, specially while running other apps (for instance while playing Angry Birds).

I'm not getting what's wrong, I have a service that runs a Timer.scheduleAtFixedRate. The implemented TimerTask has a try/catch(Throwable) for the whole "public void run" method, so anything happening there should be filtered and reported to me in an expected way.

What can be happening? The service is stable normally, it only fails under certain situations that are not clear for me yet. Where could I start?

Regards
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mschmiedel:
Well,

After a lot of pain I fould the answer. Just if anyone has a similar issue, the problem is that a service runs in the main app thread by default. If the service does something time consuming, the main thread will cause an ANR to be displayed. To avoid this, specify the "android:process" tag for the service in the Manifest file, something like android:process=":process". The colon will cause the service to run as a separate process avoiding ANR.

Still testing my code, but it already feels more stable...

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
I am pretty happy with the RMK almost-stock ROMs that exist, but can't seem to get any word on if he will be releasing an update for 5.10.

Is there a patch out there anywhere that I can use to update my current RMK 4.08 ROM to the latest 5.10 *without* having to do a data wipe? I've upgraded RMK's ROM's before by just installing over the top and not doing any data wipe, it works great. Hoping to be able to continue to do the same :)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] faehsemc:
I would just flash andybones stock. Most everyone who tried to update without wiping had a lot of FC's though. Always best practice to wipe. Just back up some things with tibu or whatever you use. In all honesty it isn't that bad to restore your items if you really want the upgrade.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] suprdave2:
Thanks but its a pain wiping every time you want to upgrade. If Verizon can push an update without requiring a wipe, surely we can too :)

As long as you are running a custom Rom. .. Its as simple as flashing a zip file from the sd card.

1- do a cwm backup

2-download file from post #2 depending on your android version... You can find it in settings about phone u guess. put the flashable file on your sd card

3- boot to recovery

4- install file from sd card choose file from ad card and do it. Reboot. Now download an Arabic keyboard i use Abraham keyboard.

I have heard that there are Rom that have right to left support. .. Google rtl support T989 and u will find links to xda development T989 forum if u are interested.

Please note that i am a NEWBIE AND I REALLY BARELY KNOW WHAT IMPORTANT DOING. .. PLEASE DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK AND MAKE SURE TO HAVE BACK UP FOR YOUR APPS AND SYSTEM BEFORE YOU DO IT AND YOUR CONTACTS AND SMS's
[EVO 4G General] jcorey:
So, the other day I was excited to see the TWRP update to 2.0. I've enjoyed the TWRP 1.x line for quite a while so I figured, why not? Then the troubles started. As that post of mine says, I cleared up the initial SD issues (not able to mount in recovery) with the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command. I reverted it to TWRP 1.1.1. It still boot loops (both the recovery or system) quite often, requiring another enableqxdm and reflash the recovery. Each time I reboot, I have to cross as many fingers I can find the house and hope it gets through to the system. I had to go through 12 hours at work without my trusty phone to occupy my down time. Talk about grueling! :eek: Then I get home, turn it on so I could do some more fastboot magic, but missed the volume-down in time. It boots right into the ROM that time (not the 14 times I tried at work!.

Now, when it does successfully boot into the ROM (jaredthegreat's ICS Alpha 2.3) the notification bar is forever saying "Preparing SD Card." It ran all night and still wasn't done "checking" for errors. I have another 1GB SD card I tried, just to make sure it wasn't my normal one, and it does the same thing. I have formatted it (with Panasonic's SDFormatter) a few times, and still no luck.

I don't quite understand how flashing a ROM (even if it goes bad) would overwrite the phone's own settings (like enableqxdm) or cause this sporadic boot looping. I have been reluctant to flash another ROM, but I think it's the only thing I haven't tried.

Does anyone have any other insight into the how/why, or something else to try to get the SD card to work in the system, past this "preparing" stage?
[EVO 4G General] jcorey:
So as to confuse myself even more, I have found that I can get past my boot-loop problem by just plugging in a USB cord. Whether it's my AC charger or my computer, for whatever reason, it needs a cord plugged in to get past the white initial EVO boot logo.

Now to work on the SD issue. I have read that deleting the fsck_msdos bin from the phone "fixes" it, but I haven't gotten my Windows adb to recognize my phone when it has any ICS ROM yet. Is it an HTC Sync/Driver issue or Android issue?
[EVO 4G General] jessy5765:

Build No: Froyo.JPJJ1

*#1234# would then show:

Can any one provide me a "free" download link for:

CSC: P1000OJPJJ1

Phone: P1000JXJJ1

Actually these are part of the official "Froyo 2.2" GT-P1000 in Pakistan (Carrier: Mobilink). I was having signal problems with other Gingerbread 2.3.3 roms i updated.

I want to downgrade to Froyo with "P1000JPJJ1" rom (which i have), however cant seem to find the exact CSC and Modem file.

I will also appreciate if some one can advice me on how to get the modem settings saved from an official tab and transfer them to my tab. Like copy pasting stuff in windows or zipping it and transferring/ installing it on my tab

Any help will be highly appreciated

When I got my EVO bc her phone was like 4 years old n holding on w. Duct tape. Since then its been updated to gingerbread n there are new prls for metro n i was wondering if any of the awesome devs here could help me update her phone bc right now its pulling under 90kbps. I tried looking in the d2 section but all questions concerning metro pcs have been ignored for months n saw no use even trying in there.

[General Questions and Answers] Toki_Wartooth:
I've tried a few other forums but haven't got any replies, I guess since the Galaxy 5 isn't such a popular device. I figured if there's anyone who can help me they will be here though.

I wanted to put CWM on it so I could get a CM7 port on. Unfortunately it's just about impossible for it to get detected on USB. I've installed Kies (and even the generic USB drivers found in the SDK). In 2 days I only got it to connect once, and then I went and bricked it. :o

The one time it finally connected I ran Odin and tried loading CWM onto it. It still hadn't finished after half an hour so I figured it ended with an error that was never displayed. So I unplugged it and as expected - brick! I can get into download (upgrade/firmware) mode so I think it can be fixed if I can get CWM on it (and just install the CM7 port I had originally intended to put on).

Problem is I cannot get the darn thing to connect! to my computer I've tried two separate PCs, one running Window 7 x64 and another running XP x32. Is there a a certain process of connecting things? I haven't ran across anyone making mention of one.

Has anyone else experienced USB problems like this with Samsung phones? Would it even be possible to flash CWM on after it's been bricked like this? When I boot (normally) all I get is an image showing a phone and a PC with and exclamation error connecting the two. Please help! :)
[General Questions and Answers] martin0176:
Try to look for stock firmware on the xdaforums.com and flash via ODIN. You need to be able to put the phone into download mode, so maybe get an USB jig. That should do the trick. Odin has to recognize your phone. First of all right click on the ODIN executable and select "Run as administrator" on windows. Plug the phone in the DL mode and wait until it appears as active in Odin. Then flash the ROM and pit file. (Don't use ODIN one click). If ODIN does not recognize your phone try a different USB port or reinstall Kies. The Kies trick was which I used and it was able to recognize my phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Toki_Wartooth:
Thanks, martin0176. I can still manage to get the phone into download mode - it's getting recognized by a PC that's the problem.

Your gonna need a jig. They are like 2 bucks on Ebay,or search google for homemade galaxy jig. I will search for a link for ya.

Dont flash everything at once. Take your time. Most ROMs need to settle a bit. Rule of thumd flash ROM let settle for 15 min then reboot all the way back up. Then you should be ok to start flashing mod's or whatever in succession.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
I think you answered your own question (as it gets older and newer gear comes out the price will go down), but I'd say since Samsung is taking a page from the Apple playbook and not discounting old hardware until newer hardware is available, I think that the MSRP will not change.

That said, some retailers may discount it. Amazon has already dropped the price to $450, and I think it won't be long before others drop it to $400. If the $50 is worth it, wait 2 months. If not, get your tablet now and join the fun! BTW- make sure you get a warranty unless you're getting a really good deal. Sometimes people think they've done well by saving $50 with a craigslist deal...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
NOTE: I am not the developer of this app, I have simply decided to create a thread about this on XDA.

NOTE 2: Using this app will get you all of your facebook contacts, regardless of whether you have a matching name in your contacts or not.

EDIT: Working fix (UNTESTED BY ME) found by droppedd and Ovalteenies:

OR

NOTE 3: This app does not sync phone numbers, only hi res pics, RECENT updates (not all of them will have status updates) and allows you to view their wall from the contact app.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hey everyone,

I stumbled upon an app called HaxSync which basically makes facebook sync for devices with Ice Cream Sandwich possible. I have tested this myself with this rom and this kernel. Not only does this app give you hi-res pictures from facebook, it also gives you recent status updates, and a quick link on each contact for viewing their facebook wall.

The app can be found here

Yes, it costs a dollar but trust me, in the end its worth having these hi-res pics on the amazing Galaxy Nexus screen :D

How to use the app:

1.) Install official Facebook App.

2.) Go to System Settings => Accounts & Sync (Android Settings, not Facebook App Settings).

3.) Click "Add Account" => HaxSync.

4.) Click "Authorize HaxSync".

5.) Confirm Authorization

6.) Wait for HaxSync to finish syncing.

7.) You should now see your Facebook contacts in the Android "People"-App.

NOTE: The one thing that doesn't work yet, is syncing the phone number of each contact but it can be added manually(scroll down to the second part).

Alternatively, you can add facebook pictures manually if you wish to do so, but it is fairly cumbersome, especially if you have many contacts

NOTE 2 : I am in no way affiliated with the creator of the app, I'm simply trying to help my fellow XDA members by providing them with the best experience possible.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
ISSUES/PROBLEMS WITH APP

-Phone numbers don't sync

-Can't see current status of contact (e.g. available, away, busy, etc - probably not meant to be implemented in this app as of yet, so not really a defect.)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
HOW TO SYNC FACEBOOK PICTURES WITH EXISTING APPS MANUALLY

1.) Open the facebook app

2.) Click the menu button located on the top right of the facebook app, and search for the appropriate contact.

3.) Find a picture of them

4.) Click menu, set as, and contact icon

5.) Navigate to the appropriate contact, or if necessary create a new one.

Thats it! Pretty simple, but with the app above, you get facebook status updates, hi res pics and a quick link in each contact to view their profile on facebook

HOW TO SYNC FACEBOOK NUMBERS WITH CONTACTS

1.) Open the facebook app

2.) Search for the appropriate contact

3.) Click send a text message

4.) Long press the number

5.) Copy it

6.) Open the people app

7.) Click create a contact

8.) Long press the space in the phone slot provided

9.) Paste the number
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gugutab:
Im already using it since yesterday, and it works.

The thing is that i had to link the profiles it manually for around 90% of my contacts. Probably would have the same problem with the official, so it's ok.

Also, after the work doing all this merge work, I'd lost everything after update the app by market. Not cool.

Still, I reccomend it.
