[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carhigh:
When i create a backup in cwm, it creates backups of everything. Can i delete all the files and just keep the data file and restore just that to get back my data if i reflash?

Basicly, what files do i need to keep to restore just data when i reflash a wipe rom?

Just hate having thewse huge files sitting on the phone for no reason
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hub.:
I guess you can delete for example system image, and be able to restore data. You have to try it to be sure ;)

BUT when you reflash and something goes wrong you may need to restore not only data. So it is better to have all these files, just for safety.
[General Questions and Answers] Hoibb:
I'm over at: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1448186 performing this really really nice ROM image upgrade that 'racks" and his team have made for the Nook Color. Boy, it's the best! Nice and responsive, good looking interface, the whole bit...

Now, I mounted this on a "clean" 16 gB Class-4 MicroSD card by Transcend. I'm using my trusty dusty Belkin USB microcard reader feeding to and from Windows XP Pro. The image and additional modules went on and set up like butter (just follow the instructions). However in paragraph #3 the OP states that optionally you can extend the last or 7th partition (the leftover space) and then be able to use it as storage for files. I assume that just about anything can go on that 7th partition.

I used the ROM for about a day of flawless testing. Then I went back and tried to make some room on that 7th partition. Used miniTool to look at the card. The 7th section (unallocated) is there. I created a partition, formatted it FAT32 and mounted it with a drive letter of "E".

I must be missing a step because not only will Windows not detect and see "E" but neither will the Nook Color. I gracefully ejected, unplugged the reader, reintroduced it but no "E" and I can't seem to see the extra SD card space using Astro. The card still works the Nook just fine.

Is 16gB too big for the Nook?

Isn't it possible to go back such as I did, after booting and using the ROM?

I need to find out what I missed in trying to make some room on this "drive" so that I can use the whole card.

Do we have someone who can help me figure out what I did wrong?

Thanks.

Guess I'll answer half of my own question since no one seems to be coming in. Should have done this research myself. According to this: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/p/nook-color-barnes-noble/1100437663

The NC microSD capacity is 32gB.

But the other part/question still remains: What step did I miss in formatting/partitioning/mounting that additional 11+gB of space that's just laying there and can't be seen?

hi, I rooted my TAB and tried to flash a theme. I did not flash a ROM. Now my tab will not boot. It stops on the samsung logo. Do I have to flash a custom rom. How do I do a full wipe? How do I get access to the SD card? What to do? Please help me - i'm a newbie.

Holding volume - and power will boot into recovery mode, you will find the wipe options there. Go to advanced, wipe dalvik cache. Go back and wipe both cache and data and then reboot. Cross your fingers haha. Worse case scenario just wipe a full ROM if my first suggestion doesn't resolve the issue.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] dsafety:
I am far from an expert on this stuff but here is an idea.

If you can download an app from the market and are rooted, try installing Samba Sharing which will allow you to see your SD card on your networked PC. If you get that far, you should be able download whatever ROM you want to the PC, transfer it to your SD card and install it.

As part of the process, you should probably try to backup whatever you have on the Tab first.

Go to recovery wipe everything then boot. It will ask you to setup the tab, input your wifi info, connect to wifi. open a browser find xda search for galaxy tab 10.1, go to development thread, and download the rom of choice. Power off boot into recovery and install rom
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] got556:
For ROMs you need to just copy them to your storage on your tab, then boot into recovery and flash them. Odin installs .tar files and the likes. Sounds like your best bet is to find a stock recovery image/file and push it through Odin and then re-root and copy a ROM and flash it in CWM.

i was wondering if someone can help us learn how to enable Right-To-Left languages support in gingerbread.

there are some good roms for the ace but most of them dnt support RTL, which is very important for a lot of us.

any help would be much appreciated, thank you :)

It can increase quadrant scores, yes. You said you installed it but did you enable it?

- Reboot into CWM Recovery

- Use the volume down key to navigate to the 'voodoo' menu & press the power button

- Use the volume up & down keys to navigate the menu & use power to select:

-- enable lagfix

-- /system lagfix on

- Select +++++Go back+++++

- Select - reboot system now

You should hear a voice (Linda) speaking as she converts the partitions from rfs to ext4. Once it's done, the phone will boot up. Re-run quadrant 3-4 times and see if that helps.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] NHNXDA:
Ok my cousins ace is stuck on froyo with vodafone, locked to network.

He's got issues with power, but new battery & mine also does same thing, whenever you start phone battery its empty, but if you plug power in & start phone, then remove power battery is fully charged, so its either FW goosed or hardware on main board.

So tried to connect to pc, will not show up as samsung android device, but when mines plugged in it shows up perfectly, it sees a usb device but wont install with the correct driver, even if pointed to this, just shows as unknown device.

So my question is, how can I update it to ginger or a fresh froyo via recovery mode as it requires a zip file & all fw's are through odin.

I considered cwm, but this requires rooting yes?

So best route is to root, install cwm then install a custom fw to see if it fixes issues then install a stock rom via odin?

Ideas please & best way forward.

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
no, u cannot flash custom roms via cwm if u still on froyo. most custom roms need gingerbread as base, means u need to already had gingerbread installed.

and the only way to upgrade from froyo to gingerbread is by kies and odin. but because kies is highly dangerous and known to brick phones, odin is your only option.

Which language should I learn?

Should i go for Linux operating system and how do I get it thanks?
[HTC EVO 3D] ColdH33t:
Android is based on Java. To develop apps you should learn Java. Ofc most of the Computer Science industry abhors Java but it's still used.

Google for and Download "Ubuntu"
[HTC EVO 3D] kpsingh:
Ok thank you...
[HTC EVO 3D] Kermagod:
For App development, I would strongly advise:

The New Boston - Android Tutorials

It would also help if you learnt some of the Java basics:

The New Boston - Java Tutorials

The tutorials are done by Bucky and Travis and these guys are very good. They take you through the learning step by step.

Also. When you came across problems, the main Android Developers site is very good, but I've also found Stack Overflow very helpful.

I started using the tutorials with no Android or Java knowledge at all and I've used what I have learned to make a couple of basic soundboards so far, but what they teach you gives you the potential for a lot more.

You can see the apps I've made Here (Android Market) and Here (My Rant Of The Day).

Good Luck.
[HTC EVO 3D] kpsingh:
Thanks very cool apps man)
[HTC EVO 3D] terrel_b:
Java = C#, so if you learn Java, you can pick up the small differences in C# very easily. In fact, I'm pretty sure MS ripped off Java in creating C#.

But yeah, to develop on android phones, you need to program in Java, and to cook up stuff on your phone other than apps (ROMs, etc. you should know Unix, scripting, etc.)

And actually understand Object-Oriented Developing if you want to do things other than write apps for android.
[HTC EVO 3D] Kermagod:
No probs.

Also, you might have been better off asking this question in a forum that wasn't tailored to EVO 3D users.

If you would have posted it in the General Android Q&A or in the Q&A section of a more popular phone, you may have got even better solutions. (You could ask a mod to move it).

So like most of us here I enjoy testing out the custom ROMs, but also like to go back to stock when I`m done testing.

Can NVFLASH be used to (without root, I am B40 anyway) make a FULL backup of system, boot, recovery, so once I am done playing with a custom ROM I can get back to exactly where I am now with my stock ROM ?

If that is possible, is there a .bat file I can stick in the NVFLASH folder to do this? Or any other way ?

Reason for this is to avoid having to root or flash CWM, and to make sure 100% my OTA updates will work again when I flash back.

I've found numerous posts stating the fact that I have to downgrade if I do not have the specified SPL, but I could not find instructions on how to do so. The rainbow screen shows the following:

I understand that HSPL4 can be flashed with the SPL 2.10.0000; but as far as I know, you can't convert to Android if you have HSPL4. So my question is, how do I downgrade to SPL 1.42.0000? Or is there an easier way going about doing this?

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moe6:
I don't own a Nexus S (I'm here doing research :P) but that seems like something normal?

If you have a protected surface next to unprotected ones on the same area, it'll get less UV exposure and there will be some very light wear on the unprotected areas that might look perfect to your eye but because of these micro abrasions they're more likely to retain oil/dust/etc.

One of the very main reasons why I don't like screen protectors is that the phone doesn't "age" uniformly :(.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flukzr:
Honestly, who protects just the "touchscreen" part of the screen?

I mean as much as I can gather from the pictures, the screen protector only covered the 4 inch screen not the whole front of the phone. Was it cheaper or something?

It's normal for the oleophobic coating to fade. Not using any screen protector from now on will probably result in it evening out in time.

If it's that distracting, just buy a full size screen protector, clean the screen really well and apply it. Wet application screen protectors are best on the nexus because they stick to the curved screen better.

Cheers
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
What Flukzr said, the screen would have been fine if it was a full size screen protector. I've never actually seen a protector that is JUST for the 4-inch screen and not the whole glass front.

Sadly there is not much you can do aside from replacing the glass, the oleophobic coating at the top and bottom has worn out (i believe this requires the lcd/amoled back too). However, you can use a full size screen protector and you shouldn't notice it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Flukzr:
I'm guessing the only way to naturally remove the coating, would be to use it without a pouch, and keep it in you pants' (jeans) pocket.

Not that I'm recommending this, but you could try solvents, nail polish thinner (acetone), lighter fluid, alcohol etc. and see which one works. Since the screen is glass, it should be ok, unless you use acid or really strong solvents.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boredbutter:

LOL, I've never seen anything like this. who protects only those 4 inches of the screen? when i read the title of this thread i got a little worried since i use a screen protector on my nexus s but mine covers the whole thing so i think I'm in the clear.

Honestly i think your best option here is to just use a screen protector on the whole screen. Or just leaving it alone and hopefully let time do its thing. I guess you have to choose which one bothers you less, the annoying rectangle or a screen protector.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I'd imagine the bonding between the oleophobic coating and the glass is quite strong, not something that chemical cleaning agents would just rub off like permanent marker dissolving in acetone. As such, i'd probably be testing very small parts of the screen if you want to take the chemical route as some might manage to cause trouble with the glass or plastic.

The old fashioned way of buffing the screen could work, though of course that is a risk and probably only worth trying if you'll be happy to buy a new screen. Nothing quite like rotary tools to get rid of a layer or two.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
Indeed would be difficult with a curved screen, but it should only need a light buff to get rid of most of it. I mean, can you even notice a difference in curvature between the area the coating faded and where it hasn't? Just food for thought (i'm not trying to tempt you to buff your Nexus :P).

With some excess rubbing while bored it'll probably come off a fair bit quicker. How long i can't say though, as mine is usually fully covered by a 20 cent protector and isn't 3 months old yet.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harbb:
I'd be doing the same, best of luck ;)
