No, not quite. A hard reset will wipe your internal SD card. I factory reset won't but it will also wipe user account info from the phone.
[LG Nitro HD] detroitredwings:
Well, actually there is an option to wipe the microSD card using Factory Reset method. If you check this option, the card will be wiped.

While looking for an answer on other threads, my take is - these two methods are the same. Just wanted to get an extra opinion, since I'm completely new to android. Actually, this is for my son's Nitro phone:)

Thanks for your reply though. I followed your directions disabling the bloatware, very helpful:)

Have you tried go to https://market.android.com on your computer, find a launcher and install it from there?
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:
install it how

through adB?

my pc wont detect phone
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
Just go to the site, login with your google account (the one you used on the phone)

Then hit the "install" button of the app (this all on the site, nothing need to be downloaded to your computer)

All this assuming you had added google account on the phone before the problem started.
[LG Nitro HD] youngv408:
yea i see what u meant but yea i dont have this phone in the list ahhh im goin crazy haha
[LG Nitro HD] V@no:
In that case try send a text message to your phone with a link to the market (again, you can use gmail for that)

I found many links on how to root phone and Im not even sure what exactly does that do (first time i hear that).

But as I understand, i can upgrade Android version that way. But how much better can Huawei 8300 go with Android upgrade, and how far can i clock it with some app?

I know Android Market has apps that can be installed after root, but where can i find better version of Android for rooted phone and how can i install it?

[Q] kindle fire utility v.6 says "the system cannot find the file specified"

I'm freshly rooted and I'm trying to Install TWRP or Google Apps/Go Launcher EX with kindle fire utiltiy.

Kindle Fire Utility reports;

ADB Status: Online

Boot Status: 4002

Fastboot Status: offline

Whenever I run it to install TWRP or Google Apps it says "the system cannot find the file specified".

I'm not sure if this has been answered before so I apologize if it has but I didn't see it anywhere here or through google.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0ttedpig:
If remember correctly, the script downloads them if they are not present.

Check for for directories/files called recovery\twrp.img and apps\gapps.zip respectively (they are located in the same place as where you execute run.bat. Are they there?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kegir:
Twrp is there gapps is not. I know when I first ran it for twrp it seemed to be working but I think it ran into problems before the reboot step. When I try to run it now I see 3 lines repeating "the system cannot find the path specified" followed by "the device is now restarting to install TWRP."

""after you tap reboot on the kindle when twrp finishes, press any key.

Press any key to continue..."

I've tried being patient and also manually rebooting neither of which worked. If I press a key it spits out the "can't find file...".

I thought maybe it had something to do with the boot status so I tried changing the boot mode to normal but it also ends with "cannot find file...".
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kegir:
I just tried using TWRP installer (Vashypooh) and it seems to hang as well. When it gets to the step where it says "you should be safe when you see the Kindle trying to mount in Windows." I don't ever see it try to mount in windows. After a bit I hit the key anyway and it said it would reboot the device but nothing happened.

Am I possibly not rooted? I don't see a terminal on here but File Expert lets me mount and says it's elevated successfully.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl0ttedpig:
That suggests it is at least rooted. So what do you see when you reboot your device? Do you see the "Kindle Fire" logo, or a Yellow Triangle? If you see a Yellow Triangle logo, then its possible TWRP was successfully installed.

And presuming, based on the above statement, the device boots correctly into the UI?

Kindle Fire Utility v.0.9.6 Apps Installer (no such file or directory)

Hey guys!

I have an unusual issue when trying to install Go Launcher and Google Play in Kindle Fire Utility v.0.9.6. It keeps on saying no such file or directory and can't find 'apps. I am trying to install Google Play Store but it keeps on crashing. So maybe this is the only way of making the Play Store to work. I attached a screenshot of it. Kindly check it out. Thanks.
[G Tablet General] jgriesshaber:
Okay, I have a G Tablet running cyogenmod 7.1.0 and wanted to move to the 7.2.0 RC, but when I do the Vol+ boot, it hangs on the dreaded white screen with the image loading...etc which I know means I don't have clockworkmod installed properly.

So I can reboot inton cyogen 7.1 no problem, and have downloaded the cwmod internal files, but THEY WON'T LET ME install them to the root directory...only the /MNT/SDCARD folder...I am pretty sure I need them in the base / folder, but nothing I do will let me move them or copy them...message will say "can't copy folder" or "can't copy file"..I have tried downloading various file manager programs but nothing will let me move stuff into the root directory...

Also, when I used ROM Manager and tell it to flash clockworkmod at the top, it reboots but nothing ever happens...just reboots back to cyogenmod 7.1

Have I done something really stupid or really easily fixed?

Thanks in advance...
[G Tablet General] aabbondanza:
Check your bootloader & CWM version & remove Rom Manager

First, ROM Manager on the gTab is a BIG no no. Remove it before it does BAD things to it.

Second, when copying roms from your PC to your gTab you will be copying them to /sdcard (same as /mnt/sdcard)) and installing them from there.

Third, make sure you are downloading & installing the correct version of CWM for the bootloader you are on (.8 for bootloader 1.1 & 3.0.2.8 for bootloader 1.2). If you install the wrong version it will stop at the birds when you try to boot to CWM.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] latigular:
Hello.

I bought Samsung Galaxy S Plus from e-shop 2 days ago but it came with orange home firmware 2.3.4 I9001BVKPB, which is without TouchWiz. Some people adviced me to flash the current firmware with I9001XXKPS Android 2.3.6. Before flashing, do i have to root the mobile? If i access the recovery mode after flashing, will it recover the old 2.3.4 firmware? Will i lost warranty? If i unroot the mobile, will i have back the warranty?

Sorry for these noobie questions, i am new to this.

Edit: Does this firmware I9001XXKPS Android 2.3.6 support Czech language?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhiru1602:
1. Read the Flashing FAQ.

2. You don't have to root the phone if you are flashing stock firmwares. You need to use Odin in the Download Mode to flash the device.

3. You could flash to any version and revert back to original shipped version anytime provided you know what you are doing.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] abhayy:
As of now, im in the market for a NEW phone, off contract under $100

Currently i am using a CLIQ from the states. The problem with this phone is that in canada, the 3G on bell and rogers works on the same radios as AT&T,and therefore my phone only works with 2g.

I am on prepaid with speakout mobile(10$ for 2500 texts, 10$ for unlimited data) and it can access 3G AND 4G data on the rogers network, but as my phone can only use 2g i see no point in keeping it.

Now that its boxing day time i start looking through my flyers and i see a LG Optimus One for about 60$ and a INQ Cloud Touch for 90$ and im debating both of them. These are both on telus prepaid and need to be unlocked..

Now, i was wondering which phone would be better to buy?

The INQ Or the LG? Or is there another phones in that price range i should buy?

The INQ has a larger screen and a better camera with a greater visual appeal, but the LG has a huge Dev community with many roms, and it is cheaper.

So, i was wondering which phone would be a better buy? Im leaning towards the LG because of its rootablility and because i like [URL="http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1408952"This ROM.[/URL]

Furthermore, i am wondering if there is a way with ABD or something like that to carrier unlock the Optimus one and be able to use it with another SIM. or would i have to do it the "Old fashioned way" and buy the unlock code?

Thanks for all the help

i rooted my girlfriends infuse 4g and and installed cwm recovery and played with a few roms. she was on dlevrom for a week and we tried a different one and now the time and date is always displayed wrong. if u goto date/time options and set to get time from network it shows the correct time for about 2 minutes then switches 5 hours ahead. its messing with her text messages and driving her insane. any ideas? thanks
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Truckerglenn:
Try a different modem. The sg modems threw my clock for a loop.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jmatt78:
Or just manually set the time zone if you like the modem your on.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] omnimanx1:
I am nearly certain that this is caused by your modem. I remember a modem thread that had an " * " next to the modems that kept time automatically. The majority of modems did not keep time correctly for some reason. The solution was posted above and is the only solution besides flashing a new modem.

Just my 2¢
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
Has there been any fix discovered besides manually setting your time? I prefer timing off the network since it's the most accurate where-as I feel like the time on my cell phone is on free-run :p

I went from a rooted stock ROM on UCKH1 to the latest CatyRom ICS Edition... didn't like (HDMI didn't work) it so I used GTG's Ultimate Unbrick to go back to stock. The problem still exists. I did an OTA update back to UCKH1 and the problem still exists.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
Download clocksync from market and it will sync the time on your phone for whatever timezone you choose
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
Thanks for the suggestion festivedonkey. The time was syncing up properly prior to flashing the custom ROM... Wondering what the heck happened to cause the seemingly irreversible change.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] THE festivedonkey:
As it was mentioned above, it has something to do with the modem. It happened to me before when flashing certain roms, but I just downloaded the clocksync app which fixed my problem until I ran a different rom that had the right time. Hope it helps til you figure out which rom to run!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
So was it a different ROM that fixed it for you or a different modem? I'm just running the rooted stock UCKH1 ROM and modem. The same combination worked fine until I flashed CatyRom then reverted back. I've tried all the modems from the Froyo ROMs and even tried UCKL2 (which showed reception but didn't actually work).

I thought running GTG's Unbrick would have fixed the but the didn't.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] secretasianman:
Fixed the problem on MY phone

Well since using GTG's Unbrick didn't fix the problem (and flashing different modems as well) I figured there must have been a file/files on my internal storage causing the problem because Odin/GTG's Unbrick doesn't erase the internal storage.

I deleted directories created by the OS and that didn't seem to help. So I backed up the contents of my internal storage (something I do on a regular basis anyway) and did a Factory Data Reset which also wipes the internal storage.

The clock time now reports the correct time using network provided time. Been working after mulitiple reboots, airplane mode toggling, and just sitting idle for the past 24 hours.

So long story short: Problem solved for me!

I'm a noob, here, and have just been exploring my new GN for several days.

Does anyone know how to stretch the browser to full screen in landscape mode?

It currently does not over-write the soft menu space as does the video playback.

I also note that the landscape keyboard appears limited to the same restriction.

Verizon support says it's a limitatio and they've had some complaints, but I've found that source is not always as accurate as the best forums esp for new releases.

Does this bother any of you as much as it does me?

Are there any other browsers that do use the full width?

(I've tried Dophin but can't finds a 'cure' there, either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshnichols189:
There is a browser setting for full screen under labs in the settings menu. And you're supposed to see the soft keys with the keyboard active.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zeke1988:
is there a way to make it fixed landscape mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] propter:
Thanks - I had found and set that flag. It expands the browser real estate to cover the the phone status line at the top of the landscape browser space.

But the 3 soft keys for top level phone operation aren't removed.

That extra 1/4 inch of horizontal space would give minor but noticeable improved view space for web page reading, just as that expansion during video playback provides an impactful improvement.

I'd also welcome that for the landscape keyboard, since it would give my fat fingers some more room to type accurately.

Is it worth registering requests for possible changes here with Android development support, or am I missing something about why these limitations are positive in either case?

Hey all,

I am Rasa, and I am a "noob", lol

I own a Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0.

I have searched for a good 15 minutes and couldnt find a similar problem or answer.

I've only owned an android device for a few weeks now,

But am a fluent Linux user, and don't really have any problems navigating or finding/changing things.

However,

I just updated my "GO Launcher" yesterday,

and now the "menu" (where preferences/edit/go store/ etc) are,

Won't change when I switch themes.

Before the update, When I would switch themes,

The menu would also change to match the theme.

But after the update..

The menu stays white (with green highlights) , no matter what theme I change to.

Ive tried restarting it, exiting it, and everything else I could think of..

But it doesn't change anything.

I don't currently have a screenshot tool on my device,

But I could manage to get a photo or two if required.

Has anyone else experienced this?

and if so.. Do you know how I can fix this so that the menu changes along with the chosen theme?

:confused:

Thanks for any help, Much appreciated.

Great job on the forum and the dev. work!

but...

When I hit the actual "menu button"

(the bottom-left "button") seen here..

a menu comes up,

like this..

[snagged from google images]

and that menu usually changes along with the chosen theme.

But it no longer does so after the update.

This is what I'm stuck on. lol :confused:

Not sure how to fix it.

(could I revert the update back to previous version?)

Everything else changes with the theme like it should, except this menu.

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] tcat007:
Personally I don't really care what that menu looks like, it's not open that often (unless you're saying it's actually "stuck" there and won't close). You might look at menu/pref/visual settings/icons/ "menu icon" to see if there's something there to change.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] Rasa11:
Hi tcat and thanks for the reply. :)

Nah, it's not stuck open,

and while I agree that it's not really open enough to matter much,

It still bugs me. lol

I don't much like white on my OS's, not white menus, bg's, windows, or much of anything else to be white. And this is white! lol

On a good note, I am now screenshot-able! :P

Hi,

I see what you mean. It might be a bug that they introduced with the update.

Did you by any chance backup your apps with maybe Titanium Backup?

If not, maybe try contacting the developer.

golauncher@goforandroid.com (I think).

Or, their website:

http://golauncher.goforandroid.com/

has links for the previous APKs, which you could download and try to re-install.

P.S. I didn't have any earlier versions, but just installed the latest a couple of days ago, and I see the same behavior you're seeing.

Hi Jim! Thanks for the reply, and especially for the confirmation that it's not just me! lol :o

I didnt back up anything before I did that update,

Only afterwards. doh! :P

and this thing isnt rooted yet, So i only have a "generic" backup tool from the market. No Titanium, yet.

I hope it's just a bug and not actually a new" feature" or something. :cool:

I may just contact them , good call.

I'm having the same issue, even now. I'm searching desperately for a fix. I've found that very very very few themes will also theme the menu. You can see which ones will work by going to 'MENU' - 'Preferences' - 'Visual Settings' - 'Icons' - 'Menu Icon', and a list will pop up of available themes for the menu. The problem is that many many more of the themes I have installed SHOULD work for the menu. They used to, anyway. It's obviously an update problem. Did you ever find a fix?
