[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junksecret:
I am using Clockwork Mod Recovery v2.5.1.x and I just Odin'ed with PIT to a clean install. I had created a Nandroid (CWR Backup) when my previous system setup was just how I liked it.

When I reinstalled v2.5.1.x and booted into recovery to restore my backup the only choice shown was:

-2000-01-01.00.00.30/

I assumed that was not my nandroid because of the date so used TB to restore as much as possible and then manually set up the rest. Once I re-rooted and had it back where I wanted it I created a new Nandroid and booted into recovery only to find one backup, still dated 2000. I ended up creating several more and now my backup options look like this:

-2000-01-01.00.00.30/

-2000-01-01.00.00.33/

-2000-01-01.00.00.35/

-2000-01-01.00.00.39/

When I navigate to the backup directory using Root Explorer I see only those same 4 backups in 4 folders named like this:

-2000-01-01.00.00.30/

01 Jan 00 00:07:00 rwxrwxr-x

-2000-01-01.00.00.33/

01 Jan 00 00:08:00 rwxrwxr-x

-2000-01-01.00.00.35/

01 Jan 00 00:06:00 rwxrwxr-x

-2000-01-01.00.00.39/

01 Jan 00 00:08:00 rwxrwxr-x

As you can see, 2 of them are even identically named in the second line. I haven't tried restoring any of them. Does anyone know what's going on? Should I be using a different CWR?

Thanks in advance

Do you know something? :)
[Gen8 General] arpruss:
Here's a way to save memory on apps that have large native libraries but haven't been moved to SD (you can also do this with apps that have been moved to SD, but it's a bit more complicated).

Background: Many apps have large native libraries, several megabytes in size. In fact, in some apps, the apk is mainly native libraries. The needed native libraries get transfered to a /data/data/package.name/lib when the apk is installed, but they are also kept in the apk. If we could delete them from the apk, we would save memory. The only tricky thing is that if we just delete the libraries from the apk, next time the system reboots, they'll be deleted from /data/data/package.name/lib . So you just need to set /data/data/package.name/lib/* to read-only.

How to do it: You need a rooted device and to be comfortable with doing things from the commandline. I will assume an rw root (I use chulri's). If you have read-only root, you need to install stuff in a different directory and edit the scripts.

Download and extract zip.zip. Transfer the files zip and striplib.sh to /bin on your device, for instance by doing on your PC:

adb push zip /tmp
adb push striplib.sh
adb shell
su
chmod 755 /tmp/striplib.sh /tmp/zip
mv /tmp/striplib.sh /tmp/zip /bin

This installs striplib.sh and a zip archiver.

Now, you'll want to determine which applications have large libraries. To do that, continue in the shell as follows:

cd /data/data
du */lib

You will thereby find out which apps have large libraries.

You can now strip out the libraries from the apk by running:

striplib.sh package.name

where "package.name" is the java package name of the apk you want to strip. When you did the "du */lib", you will have got a list of the package names. For instance, for the APV PDF Viewer:

striplib.sh cx.hell.android.pdfview

Repeat for other apps. But I recommend rebooting the device after doing the first app to make sure the app is still working, as a compatibility test.

Note: I am not a lawyer. striplib.sh deletes the libraries from the apk file. I do not know if this legally counts as a forbidden modification of the application in the sense of the Android Market or Amazon Appstore Terms of Service (one could see it as just an optimization of the installation process, perhaps?). But to be on the safe side legally, I've only done this myself with apps that didn't come from the Market or Appstore, like APV.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomiz:
Dear all,

I'm been using westcrip's excellent ROM (clean / full wipe).

After setting the APN (Tele2, Netherlands, requires roaming) and enabling data+roaming in settings, I get the warning message stating that roaming is switched off.. Thus, no 3G is possible.

Is this problem related to:

the carrier Tele2?

kernel settings?

modem firmware?

I couldn't Google it of find related topics..

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Now that Sprint has updated the stock ROM to android 2.3.5, I'm looking to use Google Video Chat.

My understanding is that Sprint disabled the video chat capability, as I think they did with the 3D, but that was "fixable" with the addition of a couple of files and and some changed permissions.

Anyone able to do the same for the 4G yet?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
Looks like pitting from corrosion. Search on "aluminum black spots".

Even though you haven't had it long enough, this link may be relevant: http://discussions.apple.com/thread/3013653?start=0. Salt corrodes aluminum.

On second thought, it's probably from a bad finishing process.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayvus:
Well, I'm not a particularly salty person and I have a low in-take of salt. I also don't sweat much, which eliminates excess salt production.

Just to show actually how small these actually are on my Prime. This is what a zoomed out look of it looks like.

You can see a small number, compared to what you see in the close ups, of the black spots on my prime.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I have one spot that's pitted, but I think it's specifically from some sort of abrasion. I suspect I put mine down on top of a grain of sand or somesuch and then it irritated the surface. Something like that.

The OP's issue almost looks like it was sprayed with some corrosive material. Very strange, but I'll look at my Champagne model more closely to make sure I don't have anything similar.

Well I have no pitting but after shining the flashlight on the back for about 15 minutes I see every single scratch lol why couldn't you let me live my life in ignorance, damn you OP lol!
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Aluminum anodizing is my business.

The back was not properly cleaned after the mechanical brushed finish was applied. This leaves tiny bits of the abrasive behind which prevents the aluminum from being properly anodized and sealed at those spots. Those tiny spots become places for corrosion (pits) and the visual evidence of same - black pitted spots.

Asus should replace that back and blame it on the anodizer. They would have failed standard quality control testing procedures.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] theandies:
Glad I have the gray (purple) model. JK. It does look like an anodization/quality problem. Mine got scratched 3 days after I received it 12/27 so I skinned it.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] toyotaking88:
The poster had posted this in another forum and I responded to him but he said there that the pits are not raised their down in the metal. Which leaves me to believe this was a bad casting, I highly doubt they machine these out of billet aluminum. This is most likely a bad casting.

Here is my post on the other forum.

I am a machinist and the shop I work at has their own foundry where we cast all of out own parts that we machine in house. The foundry has problems some times with pitting in the metal, this looks exactly like what we experience from bad castings. Most of the time we don't know if the casting is bad and has impurities in it until we take the first few cuts on the piece. So I would say Asus got a bad batch of aluminum from the company they get their material from.

A lot of our parts are bronze because we make a lot of bushings and bronze is extremely hard to pour correctly, If it doesn't have to correct percentage of metals in it and poured at the correct temperature then there will be impurities in the casting.

Sometimes we will fill the pinhole sized pits with solder but most of the time we end up scraping the part and melting it back down and pouring another one. I think your best bet is to return it and get another one. There is no way to fix those pits. I hate that this happened to you we have 3 different levels of quality control that the parts go through before they can be transferred to the shipping department. I think Asus definitely needs to step up their quality control department, this is something that shouldn't of slipped through their hands. But I would say most of their QC department is checking the screen and hardware, it is probably extremely rare for them to have an aluminum back plate to be pitted like this. A lot of times you can take a little extra material off the part and get past the pitting but for me its difficult to take much more material off the part because of the tight tolerances we work with. Most of the parts have a tolerance of +/- .0015 that is half the thickness of paper. Your average notebook paper is about 3-4 thousandths of and inch and with these bushings most area pressed fit so have to be extremely accurate, we build parts for companies like Rolls Royce, US Navy, NASA and Komatsu. NASA is the worst I hate doing parts for them because there is tons of paperwork that has to be done with the parts.

Just return it and get you another one, I hate that Asus didn't catch that. It is pretty obvious that there are impurities in the metal.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
It's not a casting. It's sheet aluminum that is drawn and stretched too far in the forming process, in addition to the brushing which also impinges junk into the surface resulting in corrosion pits. PS - Corrosion pits are indentations, not high points.

I have a good friend who is considered to be an international expert in anodizing. He's recently been contacted by Apple to discuss metal finishing problems in China; so it's not limited to Asus.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] e.mote:
@Dutch

Is the corrosion progressive? Assuming the OP decides to live with it, since the pits aren't especially noticeable, would they get larger?

I also thought that anodizing hardens the alum surface to resist scratching. Does scratch resistance vary depending on the process? Is there any aftermarket coating the user can use to preserve the brushed metal look, but negate scratches?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
Once aluminum forms an oxide, it generally does not grow; but given perspiration on hands, it could.

Hard Coat anodize, which this is not, resists scratching; but normal anodizing does not. Clear spray lacquer will give some additional protection.

The first one was sent over 120 hours ago with no response. The second one just now.

[HTC Rezound] Gear_Up:
I decided to switch from an Incredible to the Rezound on the 9th.

When I went into a local Verizon store, the Rezound was not featured, or even out on the floor. The sales rep had to search and finally found one in a cabinet for me to look at.

I went back into the store yesterday to get a credit because the price dropped, and there were still no Rezounds out. They have Razrs and the Nexus featured and those are the only posters / banners up in the store.

This is curious to me because I think it's a great phone and I wondered if others have noticed this.
[HTC Rezound] ihavenolife008:
i never saw much in the stores, there was a mediocre display. but i did see their commercial for it rather often, only really showing off the Beats integration
[HTC Rezound] mc_365:
The Rezound has not ever received any significant "VZW" promotion. I don't think VZW ever had any agreement with HTC to do so. The RAZR being a "Droid" phone will obviously be part of VZW's marketing campaign and the Galaxy Nexus is a Google branded phone so, it's uniqueness and its firstness is what is being marketed and is what VZW paid exclusivity for.
[HTC Rezound] voxigenboy:
You have to realize that Verizon only cares about Apple & Motorola. When I got my Rezound there was one on display(and only 1) but no posters or anything... whereas they had multiple iPhones & Droid RAZR's on display w/ posters & everything.

Just yesterday I was at the local store and they still had a Rezound on display & had it right next to the new LG Spectrum. Although still all this iPhone & RAZR b.s. everywhere and even making a big deal about the new RAZR MAXX phone that's due out this coming week.

Even with the new RAZR MAXX & Droid 4 though I am still going to get another Rezound.
[HTC Rezound] WasabiWa83:
Pretty sure it all has to do with money. VZW probably gets more money from Moto and Apple for pushing their products. HTC, from what I've noticed, has never had any big pushes through VZW. Just goes to show that you need to make sure you do research and don't buy a phone based on what the big companies are pushing. I know of many HTC phones that were never marketed by VZW but sold there that were miles ahead of anything actually being marketed by the Big Red.

Bottom line: Money. And lots of it.
[HTC Rezound] hatchna:
The only HTC phone I remember getting lots of marketing love from Verizon was the original Droid Incredible. I saw ads for that all over the place. Since then, HTC has received no love from Verizon.
