This doesn't work because of the way /mnt/sdcard is being mounted (through the init) rather than vold.fstab. The only way to change it would be to build a custom rom and take it out of the init and add it to vold.fstab or just reverse it and add the entry that is in vold to the init.

Problem is the init can't be changed, it's re-written every reboot. I'm working something though that might help, just don't have it ready yet.

There used to be a thread on this didn't it ? I uninstalled Amazon because it liked to run all the time..I got swiftkey X from the free app a day and for some reason the application that always used it the most was the freaking amazon apps store when I wasn't doing anything there !

Anyway../end rant. I liked the thread that followed the free apps.

APN

I tried all the configuration for the said links but unfortunately I still cannot make my 3g work. Although I found in one forum that when he changed his SIM card to a new one (probably a more recent one), he was able to make his 3g working. Can anyone confirm this? My sim card I think is about 4 to 5 years old but when in my Nokia N95 before, I was able to have 3g connection (it is the one instead of the antenna signal icon in turns into 3g icon).

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] rickwood:
Just upgraded to HC after receiving my View yesterday. I'm not much of a hacker, so I went the stock OTA route. I don't plan to activate this tablet on Sprint, so I'm running in airplane mode. HC won't seem to allow me to turn on Bluetooth in this mode. Works fine if I exit from Airplane mode. Any suggestions to enable this configuration (airplane + Bluetooth)? Or should I just turn off the data radios and not run in Airplane mode? Will this have an adverse impact on battery life if I do this?
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] butterflygirl:
Now that Globatron has posted a way back if I don't like it, I went ahead and took the OTA HC update on the View.

I was unable to get bluetooth to turn on when in airplane mode initially. I did a factory reset and now it works. You will have to reinstall your apps and reconfigure your accounts if you decide to do this. It's probably better to do a fresh install of the apps anyway on a new OS. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] askyashu:
I tried installing CyanogenMod 7.1-cooper-KANG-RC1 in My Ace and its running perfectly..

But theres a bit problem.

I have a sim which upon inserting asks at the starting for which network to use whether 3g or normal.. And when i try running this sim in CM then it doesnt work and the phone shuts down and never turns back on even on the normal sims and I am left with the option of factory resetting frm the CWM..

I wanted to post it in the CM thread but i wasnt allowed to so i posted it here..

I am sorry if it doesnt belong here tell me and i will correct it..

And Please Help me with this problem as I want to Run the CM in my Ace..

Thnx.. :o

EDIT: I found the problem is for all the roms based on CM 7. Coz i tried MythICS and its working perfectly fine but when i tried any rom based on CM 7.1/2, I got the same problem. So Please Help Me.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etern1ty:
Hey,

Ive searched a few threads and seen the problems with horizontal lines but i was wondering if anyone suffers from issues seen in this article : http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-galaxy-s-ii-t989-and-skyrocket-suffering-from-display-issues/ ?

I've had those problems for a while now, more noticable when using the voodoo colour display settings app and the gradient issues when the backlighting is low.

For anyone with similar problems, if you returned your phone did a new one have similar problems or not at all?

Cheers!
[Droid X General] spockmeat:
So on a wild hair i decided to try out the latest official firmware. Stupid i know.

Now when i SBF back to the old firmware as stated in the cyanogenmod full update guide, root and bootstrap i can get into CWM recovery but no matter what rom i use it just bootloops. Then if i try to go back into CWM i of course find its the stock 3e recovery.

Did i perma-bork my phone from having custom roms or is there a problem between the chair and monitor? lol
[Droid X General] marculous:
did you wipe data and cache?

http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-914110.html

DX .605 ROOT
[Droid X General] spockmeat:
Yeah, after I got the first bootloop I tried with apex and liberty and on each attempt wiped data and cache 3x
[Droid X General] marculous:
wipe data and cache, factory reset, then sbf? idk, I've been where you are many times and i always have to go back to the guides to get the process right, in the correct order.

DX .605 ROOT
[Droid X General] spockmeat:
So is there no reason that the newest OTA* would ruin the ability to put custom roms on?
[Droid X General] marculous:
i wouldn't think so, but i know for cm7 to get on my phone i had to sbf back to 2.2 from the. 596 i was on. guess it depends on the rom. me personally, i just left cm7 for. 605, rooted because i like the blur camera and hdmi support. took off most of the bloat but not all, it jacked up my contacts.

DX .605 ROOT
[Droid X General] spockmeat:
just treid it again, SBF'd back, rooted, bootstrapped, wiped data and cache and installed Liberty to come to a boot loop. i think .605 has locked me out of custom roms :(
[Droid X General] marculous:
can you sbf back to an earlier version?

DX .605 ROOT
[Droid X General] spockmeat:
Yes I can go back to the froyo SBF without any problem. The issue is, once i do that, then repeat the steps and flash a custom rom, no matter what rom i use, i get a bootloop. the stock SBF and OTA work fine, its just once a custom rom is installed.
[Droid X General] hootowlserenade:
How long did you bootloop? Liberty 3 2.0 can take up to 10 mins to load first time around... I'm assuming you are just seeing the spinning eagle? I thought I was bootlooping too, luckily I got caught up doing something else set the phone down and 10 mins later I had liberty running :-)

sent from my Droid X running Liberty 3
[Droid X General] spockmeat:
No, it bootloops at the M Logo screen. :(

the M logo comes up for like 2 seconds, then the phone reboots.

The only variance to this is when i flash the AIO APEX rom, then it just sits at the google logo indefinitely. But on any other rom including Cyanogenmod and Libery it bootloops at the "M" Logo.
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
There is no reason for this to happen. Sticking at the Motorola's logo shows that something didn't flash correctly.

My only guess is a md5sum mismatch on every rom you are trying to flash, either that or you are trying to flash Froyo roms while using the Gingerbread kernel.

What you should do is SBF again to .602. AFTER you SBF, format data and cache via stock recovery then reboot. If it asks you to update don't take it.

Go to Rootzwiki and download a rom such as Vortex, MIUI, or ICS. Make sure that the md5sum on the rom you select matches the one given in the thread.

Root your phone with Pete's Motorola's Root Tools. Then install ClockworkMod Recovery with Droid 2 Bootstrapper. After you install ClockworkMod Recovery download Rom Manager from the market. Set your device to 'Droid X', and it will download and update ClockworkMod Recovery to the latest version.

Once this is complete, reboot into the newly updated ClockworkMod Recovery (which should be blue), and install your chosen rom.

Once you have installed it wipe data and cache, as well as the dalbik cache. Then reboot your phone.

If you have followed my directions down to every last comma, then your phone should boot into your newly flashed rom. If this doesn't work then something is very wrong. Something beyond my understanding that probably won't be fixable.

Feel free to message me if you have any questions. Best of luck to you!

Many thanks in advice :-)

Has anyone had the problem where your screen is darker down one side happened to me about 2 months ago then one day plugged my charger in and the screen was back to normal was playing spiderman a week or so ago and its happened again any ideas
[Motorola Atrix 2] CapnPez:
I wanted to assign the camera shutter button to wake up the phone. I've used other lockscreen apps like Go Locker, Live Screen, and Magic Locker and they all allow the volume rocker to wake the screen, but not the camera button. I then tried the app "buttonremapper" or something like that that I found on xda. It didn't work.

I found this folder:

/system/usr/keylayout/

with the files:

AVRCP.kl

cpcap-key.kl

edison-keypad.kl

evfwd.kl

omap-keypad.kl

qwerty.kl

usb_keyboard_102_en_us.kl

Everywhere I saw:

212 Camera

(all but the first two files)

I changed it to:

212 Camera WAKE_DROPPED

(and added this to cpcap-key.kl)

It worked...but not always. Every now and then, it would not wake up with the camera button (especially if I hadn't had the screen on in a while). Any ideas? Is this a foolish endeavor?

Also, the Search button sometimes does not bring up the search function (long-pressing doesn't bring the voice search) right after unlocking the screen. The haptic still works, but the search doesn't pop up. The ability returns if I press the home button first. The same goes for the camera hardware button not opening the camera app but working after I press home first. This was happening even before my modifications and only intermittently.

My mod is not at all important, but I'm curious why it doesn't work all the time. I'm not sure if it's related to my buttons not working regularly, but I suspect it does.

I am using Go Launcher and tried a variety of lockscreen apps. I just did a factory reset last night to see if it fixed it, but it didn't. I reloaded a minimal amount of apps. I am using the stock camera at this point (I didn't reload camera zoom fx--but it had the same issue before the factory reset anyway). Could this be related to an app or is there something deeper at fault? I doubt it's a hardware defect since it is corrected by touching the home button.

If you think you have an idea but need more info, let me know. I appreciate any suggestions!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nutzzer:
I'm trying to recall the app that lets you control actions on your phone ie locations to turn on wifi, 3g or LTE?

What I would like to accomplish is to automatically turn on Wifi and toggle to 3g when I'm at home and at work. When I'm out and about to turn off wifi and toggle on LTE.

Is that possible? Trying to conserve battery life.

Thanks!

Locale is great, but there is a bug with battery status in ICS (according to Locale devs)...you could still do things based on wifi, but if you want to do things based on battery, you are screwed for now.

This will be fixed in the next update. You can see the huge change log for the next version on their website:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulCayard:
My choice is Setting Profiles

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.probeez.profiles

Unlike Tasker or Locale, localization could be done by GSM cells instead of GPS/WiFi (this is very good for battery).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] plisk3n:
This is what I use as well. They responded to my emails and updated bug fixes for ICS. Works great now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pedmond:
Actually, Phoneweaver doesn't seem to have any impact at all on the battery, as it relies on system notifications. Also, it doesn't use GPS for locations (unless you want to) and can locate by pinging WiFi every 15 min. Again, this doesn't significally reduce your battery.

Your choice is interesting though. I'm new to NFC. How do you plan to use the tags? You will simply touch them and they will activate different profiles? BTW, leaving NFC on may also have an impact on the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PolishPauL11:
Tasker can use cell phone towers if you set it up properly. By far, the most versatile. Check out this set up:

Tasker has GSM only option for location based settings. and works pretty good I must add

---------- Post added at 05:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:01 PM ----------

I have used both Locale and Tasker. I have never seen any big impact on the battery. I don't use them to save battery, but to change settings/toggle stuff according to the place I'm in. [Like work/office]

I recently set it up to send anyone [in my Fav] who calls me when I'm in a movie to cut the call and send them an SMS stating that 'I'm in a movie and will call as soon as I can', for everyone else it goes straight to voicemail.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] intangibleDroid:
Big recommendation for Tasker here. It can actually do just about anything you can imagine.

Shameless plug for my Locale/Tasker plugin (Secure Settings) that allows you to do a lot of cool stuff including toggling GPS if you're rooted. It's ICS compatible and also free :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] PaulCayard:
I'm very sorry for my previous erroneous information. When I chose Setting Profiles, Tasker and Locale didn't have this feature. I'm sorry, I didn't check latest versions.

Thanks for the info.

EDIT

if someone is interested in GSM cell tower localization (no GPS, no WiFi):

It's my understanding that you should do both of those things. Also I believe it is a waste of time to re-install all of your goodies and settings because it will come back wiped anyway. I bought mine used and it had already gone through the upgrade so I don't know any of this for sure.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
Not sure if this has been asked yet but is this a possibility on an AOSP-based device? There are some great looking features from TouchWiz 4.0 that I would love to see on the Galaxy Nexus. Any developers have commentary about this as a possibility (especially now that there's an ICS-based Galaxy SII ROM floating around)?

EDIT: Seems there is already some work going on over at Rootzwiki - Link

Note Regarding the Poll

: I think it's more than obvious that the majority of people here dislike any 3rd party UI (be it Sense, TouchWiz, Motoblur, etc...). So consider it more of a statistic of how many people are actually interested (ie. only pay attention to the number in Option 1, Option 2 is really just there for people who like nothing but stock).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diomark:
I think most developers go out of their way to remove this.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] X-Ter:
I've never tried TouchWiz (and never will due to my experiences with Sense) but what is so bad about it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
FYI comparing TouchWiz to Sense is like comparing Cherry and Chocolate. And FWIW, personally I like Sense but we all know that either way it's extremely difficult to bring a Sense port to an AOSP-based device. However with TouchWiz who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Syn Ack:
I would say bring the Touchwiz Icons and just stop there. It's a nice set of fluid and nicely themed icons. I did it on my Droid Charge. I had a full AOSP rom and launcher but I just swapped the PNG's of the icons on everything for Touchwiz icons. It looked good. Here's some pics.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MMcCraryNJ:
I always hated Touchwiz BECAUSE of the icons. On my Vibrant, every app icon was encased in a big ugly box of a solid color. Looked way too iPhone-ish and cartoony and ugly. No thanks

One thing I liked about TW over Stock is that Samsung at least makes an attempt to make everything part of a same theme package where Google just throws icons together with no effort whatsoever.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Never having a touchwiz device, I do know the basics of the launcher from a friends galaxy. Kinds feels like Go Launcher and nice themes and widgets.

There was a touchwiz CM7 theme that I liked because of the battery icon and color scheme.

Like said, you don't really need touchwiz to get all the functionality of it today. Just icons, go launcher, and beautiful Widgets.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
ICS will only get better why ruin it with touchwiz and any other skin for that effect.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
I think you will find many (outside of this thread) that say the exact opposite. Even Google said they took examples from custom UI's when developing ICS.

Why it has to be "ruin"? Why not combine the best of both? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daleski75:
Touchwiz relies heavily on bespoke code and api's for samsung specific apps so if it could be ported it would be a struggle to get it working to say the least and Samsung won't release the code.

As an ex Galaxy S II owner I am happy to see the back of touchwiz as for me it gives/gave nothing extra over the Nexus which I own now.

I do agree though that a choice is probably better than no choice however everyone else coming from other phones more than likely really appreciates how slick it is with everything kept stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mawdo:
ARE YOU SERIOUS ?? I bought my first androphone 12 months (samsung galsxy s:mad:) ago without know anything what i'm dealing with..

But the last 10 months all i wanted is to get rid of TW, flashing nightlys every day , but thank GOD i now have the Galaxy nexus:D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] open1your1eyes0:
I'm assuming you're referring to the original Galaxy S? Yes I agree in that case, TouchWiz 3.0 was awful. But like I said before, TouchWiz 4.0 on the Galaxy SII is like night and day. Of course, skins are not for everybody, I think this forum has made that very apparent. But there are quite a bit of us out there that would love to have it. As always, choice is better than no choice.
