[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioBigred:
Hi,

general question about upgrading a new firmware.

When I do that and I got a "wipe" firmware, I usually wipe and reinstall everything and reconfigure all my apps.

It takes a while but, as seasoned windows user, I know this is the best way to have a clean and full speed installation so to avoid "registry" cluttering.

Is this applicable also to Android? Or using Nandroid or Titanium I can restore my apps with "messing up" with my shiny new firmware?

It is quite quick to put your credentials on facebook or foursquare but all the word learnt by swype or all rebuild all the folders structure is taking a while...

Thanks

Sergio

Using Titanium Backup, you can just backup user apps and data, and leave system apps alone. Then when you upgrade to a new firmware (I recently went from KK5 to KL8) you can use your Titanium Backup just to restore the user apps and data you backed up, and leave the system apps and data alone. That way you'll have only the system app data from your new ROM, but all the user apps and data from your old one.

When I flashed my new ROM, I went ahead and selected to restore all user and system apps and data. Of course I can't tell you how my phone's performance compares to if I hadn't done so, but I can tell you that my phone is faster (because of the new code, I'm sure) than it was before, and I'm having absolutely no issues whatsoever.

I do my ROM backup using ROM Manager by CWM, app + data backup using TBP and EFS folder using kTool. It always works well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loftus:
In one of the stock LA1 firmware threads in the dev section (stock LA1 is a wipe firmware) a user has reported success by restoring his data partition from a previous Nandroid backup.

Haven't tried it myself, as I agree with your approach of starting from a "clean" slate. Android doesn't have a registry, but the DBDATA partition could be considered similar?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SergioBigred:
I prefer the clean slate approach, but after I instructed my Custom Dictionary for one month and organized all my apps in nice folders I wanted to understand if there are risks here.

It is not clear for me what are also the information related to a certain fw that an apps saves... is that possibile for instance to do a restore in ICS of a backup done in Gingerbread?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magosmagos:
Hi to all!

From Yesterday i have i sudden problem i never had.

When i connect my i9000 does not anymore show the 2 drives (usb storage of both internal external sd) on my computer.

I use Glitch kernel with latest cm7 kang.

When i connect the phone via usb to the pc,sometimes i get the erroe usb device not recognised (win 7 x64), and connects and disconnects randomly(always showing the error),other times doesnt do anything.

I tried cleaning the port,different pc usb port,different pc's, factory reset,different cable,older versions of glitch kernel or cm7.

Formatted also boot and system folders(of course also wipe data etc).

Installed kiss,boot the pc with phone off and then on.

Tried win7 x64 drivers.Sometimes i get on windows unknown device that i cannot find drivers that accepts.

On off usb debug mode and restart.

Nothing seems to work for me.

So id like to ask.....Should i try to go back on stock(firmware+kernel)?

And how is it done???

Or maybe its the port fault?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magosmagos:
Any ideas?Noone?

Could someone please tell me how to go back on stock?

First to stock kernel then to stock firmware?

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sennator:
The "device not revognised" error is related to USB debug mode, unless you have installed Google USB drivers.

Its not supposed to occur with debug mode=off.

Going back to stock (Leaked JVU) is explained here:

Thanks for the link.

Going back to stock worked for a friend of mine,which came today(he has the same phone with cm7.2 rco and glitch kernel but with usb port working)by simpling entering on download mode and flashing with odin.Drivers installed (from samsung drivers folder,after installing kies)

On my phone,on download mode,or it doesnt say anything or i get on pc the message uknown device,cannot install etc.If i try to manual push the drivers it says the device cannot start.

So it must be a hardware related problem no??

In this case ,because i am still on warranty,is there any other way (for example via cwm) to put stock firmware and kernel in order to claim warranty?

Many thanks for your posts.

Anyone tried microbes live wallpaper on the note, it's not working with me, tried on several roms !
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Primacy:
I encounter the exact same problem!

My theme would fit the Microbes wallpaper so perfectly that i just made an account to reply on this thread T_T...

It's such an awesome wallpaper but such a pity it doesn't work.

Me myself also tried to install different APK's.. actually went through alot of stress because of the wallpaper that was already installed. I force installed it by Clockworkmode recovery and it got installed.

Problem? When you select the microbes live wallpaper, the wallpaper application crashes. Anyone know how to fix this?

Apparently this problem is just for the galaxy note.

Attached the wallpaper! If someone would take a look to it.. you would save our asses XD THANKS!

As per thread title, Im wondering how good the Transformer Prime's screen is for video watching?

Does it also handle MKV files w/o any issues?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Liamness:
During my short time with it, yeah it's great. The performance is great, you can even play HD footage on power saving mode, and the screen is one of the best LCDs I've seen. Tried the only 1080p footage I have (trailer for source code) and it was lovely. Streamed some 720p footage via DLNA over wi-fi too (louis ck standup) and that was also fine. I have noticed that with some videos, audio won't play using the standard player though. You'll need a player that lets you decode audio in software if this is case, such as MX video player.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EarlZ:
Thanks for the feedback, anyone here with a Galaxy Note or and S2 that can provide feedback.. I understand that a 10.1" screen vs a 5.3 or even 4.29 might be an odd comparison.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] achuong08:
looks clean to me, i had a br rip of transformer 3, looked amazing on the prime.

on my sgs2 look the same, but smaller, i have a screen protector thats all scratched up, but it looks great other than that.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ddelong22:
I have the Galaxy Note and as far as the picture quality, it is slightly better in my opinion on the Prime. Then again, it's hard to really judge in comparison to the Note due to screen size. The biggest difference to the playback is the fact that the Prime is easier to see when outside or in a bright room. It has a screen boost which significantly boosts the backlight. Drains battery fast, but looks great. Hope that answers your question

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] EarlZ:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boltcutter:
I have successfully rooted my Nook using my MAC and the NARS method. I believe this is considered softrooting. I do like the B&N Nook Reader and was hoping to continue to use it. I do not have a MicroSD card yet, but it is on the way.

The main problem I have is properly storing and utilizing files in the extra 15GB of internal space.

If I want to get files on my nook, I hook it up through the USB to my Mac. It only recognizes "MyNook"-- the 1GB of space that B&N allows me to use.

As many have suggested, I installed Root Explorer and can successfully move files out of that 1GB and into the extra 15GB space. However, those files do not show up in my Nook Reader software and it does not look like I can browse to those folders in the Nook Reader.

Am I going about this all wrong?

Is there a way to use my Mac to access that extra internal space?

Is there any way to get the Nook Reader to recognize the files in that space?

Lastly: I figured I would just install Aldiko to read those files, but it says that because it can't mount the SD card, it can't find files. But I don't have an SD card-- I have 16GB of internal storage!
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
I had the same issue and solved it as follows:

I store my media (books, videos, mp3's, etc. ) in the /data/media directory - I get about 12Gb free. I set the directory to be R/W using Root Explorer and changed the permissions to allow "others" full read, write and execute (again using Root Explorer). I was then able to access the files in /data/media with my Ebook reader (Cool Reader), mp3 player (I use Mort Player) and videos (I use MVideo Player). I then changed the /data directory to RO.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boltcutter:
Thanks so much for the suggestions. So, my other question is-- can you utilize the native Nook Reader to see these files? If not, can you reassign the small book icon in the notifications tray to go to Cool Reader-- or will that only go to the native Nook Reader?

Lastly, does anyone have an answer regarding accessing the internal storage via USB/Mac?

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] boltcutter:
Sorry, still very confused. I navigated to the /system/app and the Library.apk was in there already. I launched it and used Package Installer to reinstall it, but it works exactly the same as before.

I also installed Cool Reader and it doesn't seem to be able to navigate below the /mnt/media directory. Is it a permissions thing?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
I had a similar thought about putting my movies in that same folder, so I followed your steps. When I plugged my NT into my computer, however, only the same two options popped up---MyNook and my sd card. So far as I can tell, the computer is still not recognizing the /data/media folder, so I'm still unable to sideload into that folder.

Have I missed a step? Am I doing something wrong? Do I need another program to "help" me sideload into that folder?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
You will not be able to see the internal storage on a PC (unless your PC is a Linux box) - it can only be seen on the device using a file explorer such as Root Explorer or ES File Explorer.

You sideload there by placing a file in one of the two partitions that you can see and then moving/copying it with one of the two aforementioned file managers.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nashdude:
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Ah well... it'll do until they figure out how to safely expand the MyNook partition.

Okay, so I ran the script to give me access to my internal storage. Someone else is telling me I now need to put whatever files I want MX Player to see, in /mnt/internal. But you clearly state that you put them in /data/media. Either way, MX Player isn't seeing them, and I've got all rights checked on all of these locations.

What am I missing?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
Why are you running a script? I think that you are making it needlessly complicated for yourself. If you just follow what I did here: I store my media (books, videos, mp3's, etc. ) in the /data/media directory - I get about 12Gb free. I set the directory to be R/W using Root Explorer and changed the permissions to allow "others" full read, write and execute (again using Root Explorer). I was then able to access the files in /data/media with my Ebook reader (Cool Reader), mp3 player (I use Mort Player) and videos (I use MVideo Player). it will work

It might be easier to go back to the original clrboot file and start over. And make certain that the media partition that you place your stuff in is /data/media - there should be about 12 Gb free.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] loribuono:
Because I was pointed to this, as the method to get acccess to all of our storage: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20401344&postcount=72

I followed your steps above, which is why I asked at all... because it didn't work for me. I will try going back to the original clrboot file. I assume I just rename it back to .sh and reboot, correct?

Where can I see how much space is free, once I do that?

*****UPDATE*****

So, not sure why this happened, but apparently the actual video files, which were in folders on my SD card, DID NOT move with the folders when I copied them to both /data/media/videos and /mnt/internal/videos. Just empty folders.

So, I need to get them back on my Nook, as I've since deleted them from my SD card, and try this again.

Funny, an app not showing me what's not there...
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
I confirm it worked for me.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
More than one way to skin a cat

:D Well no real harm done. Why no try with one file first instead of a whole folder - I usually do that when unsure - if it works then your good to go.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] loribuono:
Yeah, doing that now. Something funky happened when cutting and pasting a folder with *.avi files within in. Only copied the folder but, of course, deleted the *.avi files. Next time, I'll know to only use copy and paste, and delete later.

UPDATE: Okay, here's what I did:

1. Deleted the clrboot file I had copied previously. Renamed original one back to .sh. Rebooted.

2. Tried getting all of this to work without redoing the clrboot file thing again. Didn't work.

3. Copied the clrboot zip from this site again, and copied it to /system/bin, after naming the original one with the .bk ext.

4. Rebooted.

5. Created a "Videos" folder in /data/media.

6. Set the /data/media folder's permissions to allow everything. All boxes checked.

7. Copied one *.avi file to /data/media/videos.

8. Specified that folder in MX Player.

9. MX Player doesn't see it.

UPDATE TO UPDATE: It sees it! Yea! It's seeing it in /data/media/videos and /media/My Files/videos. I don't need it in both places, but was playing around with different locations.

Now, if I could just get MX Player to stop crashing on me. :)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
It might be worth a try using mVideo player (free in market)
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] nook_lover:
The zip file is supposed to be unzipped.

In addition not all of the permission boxes are set on my clrbootcount.sh, though I use Root Explorer.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
A Further Thought

Can you try to put back the original clrboot script, reboot and then try to load a file into your data/media partition - I am concerned about the results of using the modded script. I attached the original clrbootcnt file - it has a doc extension - please change clrbootcnt.doc to clrbootcnt.sh and then try to use it.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] loribuono:
I can try that, but MX Player's seeing the videos now. Now my issue is, ES File Explorer keeps telling me copies and moves fail when trying to move the files from my SD card to internal storage. So, I'm wondering if I'm actually seeing all of my storage space. Do you know how I can check that?

UPDATE: I don't think I have access to all of my storage. If I remove an *.avi and try to copy one of the files I was having problems copying, it works fine.

---------- Post added at 03:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

So, are you saying you didn't use this method, with the modified clrboot?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] docfreed:
Right, I never used a modded clrbootcnt - in fact I never used a script at all - just did it all with Root Explorer (I don't know if the scripts do any other stuff so I never like to take a chance). As for checking your storage, just long press on the /data partition (at least do this in Root Explorer) and select properties - it will show you the amount of storage available.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] loribuono:
Huh. Well, when I get time this weekend, I'll have to go back to the original file and see what happens. The /data folder says:

Contains: 0 Files, 0 Folders

Size: 0 bytes (0 bytes)

Doesn't seem right to me.

I still have my original clrboot file, so I'll use that one. Unless there's some reason to use the one you provided?
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] jeremystyle:
I created my own folder on data/ and I put my files in there. Once I changed permissions I was off and running! No problem with anything reading those files. You may have to change the settings on the players themselves to access there but should be solid.
