[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mancubus99:
You guys are missing the point. While disabling sync will save battery life IF you are syncing constantly, its obvious from the amount of data that was used in my picture that syncing is not the issue but rather a super buggy app that is G+. Before I removed the updates from the app the battery drain with the screen off was nothing short of ridiculous. I was getting 4-5 hours of STANDBY from my phone before getting a battery warning.

P.S. at the time of my screenshot I had been on battery for 1 hour and 54 minutes which means I was losing approximately 15% per hour just to G+. My screen on time was 2 minutes and 4 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kichard:
Delete the app and use the site.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BMWPower06:
Exactly! I also uninstalled the app update then reinstalled it from the market and my battery life has completely improved. I also changed sync to only when plugged in.

I used to think that this was just how the G Nex was and that u literally had to plug your phone in every 3 hours, even if you werent using it. Thank god I was wrong
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zapek666:
This is a bug in the Google+ app when instant upload is enabled. The app scans for pictures and gets stuck busylooping somewhere.

How to fix:

- Settings/Apps/Google+, select "Clear data" then "Force stop". Reconfigure the app.

How to detect:

- Install "OS Monitor" and check the Process list to see if Google+ is using too much CPU.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kanej2006:
I have several apps in my menu as well as shortcuts in which I'd like to shorten & change the labels.

Example I have MX Video Player Pro as a shortcut & as the name is so long it does not display the full name.

I'd like to rename it as MX Player. This is just an example as I'd like to change many others.

I've tried Folder Organizer as well as Anycut & Bettercut all of which have failed to change my label names...

Is there ANY working app/program in which I can use to edit & change file names in both the menu & shortcut?

Please don't mention using other launcher such as GoLauncher & AW Launcher as I'm aware these allow changes.

I would rather an app that allows me to do the above.

Thanks for any help or advice other fellow XDA users can give.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhi.eternal:
Wifi works fine at home with no drop at all. However, in office it just does not connect - it goes in a loop : scanning-connecting-authenticating-disconncted-scanning. Does not matter whether the password is right or wrong. My office uses WPA/WPA 2 PSK.

It was connecting before then suddenly it stopped working. It still connects via WebOS. I have tried partition wipe, android factory reset, xron mod etc. but still no luck. I thought it will be fixed after factory reset or partition wipe but no. Can anyone please help me? P.S. I will not be able to get the router reset in office.

We changed the AP settings to CH6 on 2.4GHz - no change and it would not connect to 5GHz AP neither.

Got back home and it connected no problem.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vargens:
Hi there all! And happy new year!!!

Couple of questions,

First, Zoner antivirus found this the exploits, should i be worried?

1: File is infected: exploit.AndroidOS.Lotoor.G -sdcard/bluetooth/SdxAppRemoval-1.5.apk

I removed the app, scan, removed :)

2: App is infected: Exploit.AndroidOS.Lotoor.G com.caspian.android.removal

Phone is rooted by Superoneclick

Android: 2.3.4

Build: 4.0.2.A.0.42

Second question, if i upgrade to .62, will the phone still be rooted?

And finally, any use of lookout antivirus? Cus it did not seem to find any exploit, but Zoner did.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2012! :))
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
Wast of time there is no need for such apps
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vargens:
Yap, i did. Useless as i have titanium installed.

But telephone acting weird. it wont turn off properly, but only restarting,

Lots of apps keep on crashing (java error) and so

And i wanted to do a flash with wotan, but halfway it stops..

So my Neo is kinda full of bugs...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aimcr7:
Did your device rooted? Try to install cwm recovery, then format system, format data, format cache, format sd card, dont reboot your phone, select mount sd card, then put one of the custom ROM (ex, SE Tweaked) to your sd card, unmount, then flash the rom, reboot.

If your bootloader was unlocked, i recommend you to flash inteks or doomkernel first, cause it has built in cwm recovery, so you dont have to worried if flashing doesnt work.

Use it with your own risk. :)

Let me know if its help.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
If locked bl not se-tweaked
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vargens:
My bootloader is locked.

Can i use CWM Recovery and format as stated above and then use wotan to get the stock ROM back?

Phone is rooted :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
I can't help as I only had locked bootloader for an hour so don't know
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aimcr7:
Yes you can. Search on Neo Android dev forums for how to install cwm on locked bl.

Im sorry cant give you a link cause i am on xda app now. :)

Oh yeah, you can flash se tweaked on locked bootloader but you need to modify update script, just ask me if you need it. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] kormatoes:
Reet so you think you have se tweaked on locked boot loader can you give me and festa the updater script then
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] aimcr7:
Okay mate, i'll pm you ASAP. :)

Someone give me this script and it works for me. :)

Edit: sent mate. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] mrm2007:

[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
Update:

I have now also made a Linux port for DooMLoRD's rooting of ICS phones.(Sony Xperia only)

Please see attached file: Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-Linux.zip

Note: You need flashtool for linux. Procedure remains the same as for windows.

Original script thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1601038

Rooting procedure: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/41119?start=0&tstart=0

Please update Superuser app as well as SU binary to the latest version after rooting is done successfully.

Update:

Updated as per DooMLoRD's v4.0 script with zergRush binary of 21 Nov 2011 and with makespace which deletes Google Maps if there is not enough space.(< 6MB).

Hello

I am completely new to Android but not at all new to Linux.

I used paxchristos script (ran commands manually though) to root my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. (WT19i / Android 2.3.4 / Build 4.0.2.A.0.58)

Source threads used:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319653

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18615502

In an attached file, I fixed/modified/added few things in paxchristos script. Here is the detail:

1) Fixed error in symlinking su. (source/destination were same)

2) Don't delete (and recreate) /data/local/tmp/ directory unnecessarily, just delete its contents.

3) Create /data/local/tmp if it does not exist.

4) Uses dd instead of cp (because DooMLoRD's script does, dont know why!). Update: as per anantshri, dd is used because cp has been known to give errors.

5) If your system already has 'adb' then it uses system 'adb' instead of one in zip-archive.

6) Updated zip archive to contain the latest files from DooMLoRD's archive (paxchristos archive seemed old)

Please try/verify and let me know if I missed something.

Thanks.
[XPERIA X10 General] Mister J:
Very nice to know that fellow *nixers are on xda.
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
Thanks, I am still getting used to this forum.

Have already found answers to many of my questions regarding Android.

One thing that shocked me is Android uses Java and not C. I would have preferred C anyday.
[XPERIA X10 General] anantshri:
ohk so few things

1) yes java is used mainly in Android, However look at NDK if you are a C fan.

2) dd command is used in scripts to avoid cp related issues. coz last i remember we encountered multiple errors based on scenarios where cp used to fail but dd used to work. so dd is defacto there.

@doomLord, Correct me if i am wrong.
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
Ah that clears dd confusion. Till now I was wondering why he chose dd? I thought may be because dd was faster for internal memory to internal memory transfer.

Since DooMLoRD is good programmer I knew there has to be a reason. And that is why I changed paxchristos script to use dd.
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
Updated to match with DooMLoRD's v4 script. See update on first post for details.
[XPERIA X10 General] juheimbu:
Just used this script on my Galaxy S 2 Skyrocket. Worked great!
[XPERIA X10 General] fhagur:
Have used the script with Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini E10a Latin America.

Script runned, ADB found the device, device has rebooted correctly but... no root after reboot. Checked with Root Checker from Market.

Anyway, great script! Should work for some models.
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
Umm.... Freespace checking script was not developed by me. I have copied it directly from DooMLoRD script AS IS (had not tested it either). I think we dont need it anyway. It will be very rare that person rooting wud have run out of space. Person can re-install Google Maps (so no big harm done by bug)

But when I get the time I will check the DooMLoRD's script if there exist a bug.

Please click on THANKS if u liked my script :D
[XPERIA X10 General] Leduck:
Your script has saved me a lot of work, because I'm tired of borrowing the notebook of my wife for flashing my phone and was looking for solutions for linux, missing root can do, I do not want to use SuperOneclick (did not want to install it just for Mono ) and go on to adapt the script DoomLord for Linux, which you did very well done. Now I can do everything on my computer with linux, what about the bug, I realized that the program was part of the original script, but I made a warning to those who wish, like me, deactivate the check room not to lose Google Maps (or have to reinstall the Market).
[XPERIA X10 General] laloi:
adb drivers in linux ?

Hy ! Can I use this script to root my Galaxy Note ? And can you say me how to install adb drivers in linux, plz ?
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
Just try it.

ADB is already there with script.

If you have fedora then u can install adb by running:

yum install android-tools
[XPERIA X10 General] laloi:
OK

Thank you, i will try. I didn't realize that "ADP" is the same as "ADP drivers".
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
well in linux there is nothing like drivers u can say

very few hardware require driver.

and when android itself is born from linux, linux shud already have support for it :)
[XPERIA X10 General] laloi:
Everything went well, thank you very much! We should just specify the need to execute the file "runme-linux" as root (with "sudo") ;-).

I would not to abuse, but would it be possible to have the same thing for unroot, please ? :D
[XPERIA X10 General] laloi:
Easy unroot for linux

Hy,

I used Amish translation to do the same for the DooMLoRD's Unrooting Script. I succesfully tried it with my phone, but REMEMBER YOU ARE DOING THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK (I suppose you know this song ;-))

DooMLoRD's instructions :

so here is the unrooting script to be USED ONLY AND ONLY IF U HAVE USED MY FILES (Easy Rooting Toolkit) FOR ROOTING

[ WARNING ]

if u have used any other way/solution for rooting then PLEASE DO NOT RUN THIS... you MIGHT END UP with damaged system...

(thats cause some ppl create symlinks for busybox in /system/bin/ which wipes out stock symlinks to /system/bin/toolbox and breaks/damages system)

More informations here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=18615502 and here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
I havent unrooted but I think unrooting wud be nothing but removing busybox symlinks (and busybox itself) and removing su binary and superuser.apk.
[XPERIA X10 General] amishxda:
btw there is no need to run "runme-linux" as super user.

it works as normal user (recommended)
[XPERIA X10 General] laloi:
If I run the script without sudo, the script block just after "* daemon started successfully *"

I've flashed two custom ROMs now (WajkIUI and MIUI Spanish) from ClockworkMod, they both loop on the boot animation.

I've gone into ClockworkMod and wiped data/Factory Reset, wiped /cache and Advanced > Wipe Dalvik Cache, but the same result.

I've tried the latest CyanogenMod nightly, and that is working fine.

Can anyone help me troubleshoot this?
[LG Optimus 2x] SuperSkill:
CyanogenMod is in fileformat ext.4, if your new flashed roms are ext2 or 3 you have to use "back to ext.3.zip" found in xda or modaco forums to revert your filesystem/structure back to ext.3. Then wipe - flash - enjoy. After booting you may change kernel to a kernel with ext4 if thats your choise. Some ext.3 roms have autoback to ext3 some dont. There has also been released zips for making your filesystem ext.of choise.

I hope this helps you out.

SuperSkill:)
[LG Optimus 2x] hisham027:
Get the link for backtoext3 and ext4 converter from here

And also if you are not on the latest version of CWM, I would strongly recommend to install it. Use ROM Manager from android market to install CWM.

its called "TPU Gel skin" . . i viewed all the colors and the black on black was by far the nicest. .

I paid $5. . its on the internet from $2-$8

fits perfect...

doesnt add bulk

gives it a better grip (less slippery feel)

actually makes the phone look nicer IMO

only negative is that I have to push a little harder on the side power button. . (works fine but u have to give a bit more pressure than normal)...

here are some pics. .

you can use an application like 'Screen off & lock' for closing the display and wake him up with the home button - so no need to use the power switch :)
