[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritzenhauf:
man, i wish this would work. the ZIP doesn't open with TapeMachine and no "TapeMachine - Codecs" appears. i found /storage/emulated/0/.tapemachine/cache/codec/ but nothing i do there works. i can't believe i accidentally deleted TapeMachine and now MP3 is completely hosed!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saljut7:
Hi,

I've just tried to import the codec again and it worked perfectly (both my local archived zip and the uploaded zip here). Just download the file with your mobile, choose "open with" in your file manager and there should appear a program "TapeMachine - Codecs" whichs imports the zip.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ritzenhauf:
got it!

thank you for confirming! i had moved the zip to my device from a desktop download, but when i used the DL link from the device, it worked without opening a file manager at all. :good:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dabadub:
The website has been down for a few months now, not sure if the Samalyse went out of business. There is no way to authorize the MP3 codec without his server up and running. The tape machine I purchased two years ago still works fine in my old phone, However, in my Samsung note 4 is another story. You can still download the app from the market but it does not allow one to upgrade. Really a shame! There is nothing better outhere. Keep our finger crossed. I hope he is okay. I corresponded with him when he first created the app and had a very nice experience. His company is located in Paris, France

I have the file you're requesting also, but to install it, it will ask you for your original 8 character code. After you enter it, it will try to connect to the server to validate the code. If the server is down you can't do nothing.

Sorry.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OME6A:
I have a song I have to learn for band practice tomorrow because I'm a horrible procrastinator, and I just wanted to say thanks for this link. This is the only place on the internet that I was able to successfully find and install the codec.

To answer your question...

Tap the zip on your phone to open it and TapeMachine should be an available option for opening it. If it's not then you will need to uninstall whatever you normally use for zips and try again. The app should open the zip and install the codec without much issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
Newbie here, Why do i read everywhere that i need to flash gapps if I ever flash my device?

Is gapps Google Apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] simplistian:
Yes they are apps and framework from Google, like Google sync, Gmail, Maps, Talk... Google asked ROM developers to remove their copyrighted gapps from their ROM so you have to flash it most of the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danger-rat:
Yes, Gapps is Google Apps, and it includes the Market among other things...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
We have to flash it separately because google asked several popular developers to leave google apps out of their roms since it contained proprietary software.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] The_Maverick:
another noob here, just about to flash a custom rom (AKOP to GNex) for the first time.

if i have all apps (user and system) backed up with titanium, do i still need to flash gapps?

(on a slightly less relevant note: i'm copying all titanium backups as well as the rom backup from clockwork mod rom manager to my computer so as not to lose them when flashing the new rom because i'm not really sure if they would be wiped. will they?)

thanks for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Malarie:
I have aokp ms4, annd flashed the gapps thats on aokps website. I lost the Google Music player.. Is there a way to get it back?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
I believe google music is still in the market. Just download it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gonintendo:
I would keep your titanium backups on your comp, just in case. I wouldn't, however, back up system apps as that can cause conflicts when you're restoring in a different rom. Just back up user apps. And yes, you do still need to flash gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mprziv:
Precisely, well said.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Google did not ask "several popular developers." To my knowledge, it was only Google sending CyanongenMod a Cease & Desist... because of this, developers decided to respect Google and stick to the respective Google Apps rather than including them in their ROMs. It is illegal to include these gapps with their ROM. However, you're fine with including them until Google sends that developer a C&D but only CyanogenMod received the C&D.

As far as TitaniumBackup.. you can also sync your backups to DropBox and now Box.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] trissc:
another noob here...just wondering how do u flash gapps? im planning to flash AOKP anf they said to flash gapps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SynFox:
Download gapps from the given source and flash them via CWM like a ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] artvandelay440:
That's who I was referring to.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
CyanogenMod at the time was a one-man project by Cyanogen himself. Not all these other developers who are now associated with the project.

@trissc: 1) Flash ROM

2) Flash Gapps

3) Flash Kernel (if desired).

NOTE: You will have to reflash gapps after flashing a updated version of the ROM. Otherwise you will lose the gapps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] colingpt:
Because Gapps are google's, they don't allow the third part developer use or edit them, but they allow users to download and install by themselves
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] amberaul:
My note's ram is always above 600 mb. ...pls help
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] BPHC:
I always use back button to close apps. Clicking home button will not close apps but minimized. More apps opened equal more RAM used.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Totally normal. Apps are loaded into RAM so when you want to open an app it loads faster. That's how Android works.

My advice is to not go on a killing spree and kill every app that's running. This will make your device slower and it'll use more battery since it has to use more power to load the apps again and again - and again.

If you want to free up some RAM you can do this:

- Switch launcher. TouchWiz is a resource hog, and you'll gain some RAM if you switch to another launcher like ADW, GO Launcher or LauncherPro

- Freeze/Delete system apps that you don't use/want. If you're not using SocialHub, Reader and Swipe, there's no reason having them. Freeze them and they won't use RAM.

- Flash a custom ROM. You can flash a custom ROM if you want. Your device will be faster and use less battery. Some ROMs has been stripped for "bloatware" like SocialHub etc. so they're fast "out of the box".

I'm currently running ROMOW ROM with ADW EX (and i've frozen a lot of system apps), and my Note is only using around 250MB on boot.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] vcespon:
What's the problem with that? You have 800 MB for OS and applications, it's meant to be used. Applications loaded, compiled and the code is stored in RAM, the more RAM you have the more apps you can keep open. With less RAM (like my previous phone, Galaxy S, which had only 330 MB available), the apps have to be unloaded from RAM when you open a new one, so the CPU works more, loading apps again and again.

The RAM contains compiled apps and cached data, to make access faster and save battery, it's good that it's used. Android manages the RAM itself, if you launch an app that needs RAM, it will make room for it, discarding the least used pages. You don't need to take care of this yourself.

In the Samsung system administrator there's a button to clear RAM, press it and it will unload even the touchwiz interface, you'll end up with 400 MB used, but it will increase soon, as apps are opened.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] airwater9:
The issue is that when you run a high resource game, have a few web pages open or use google earth then the device closes down touchwiz to free up memory so you may find your homescreen empty or on other occassions android closes the internet application if you switch to another program even briefly so multitasking is poor on the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
Its absolutely true,RAM management is implemented very badly on the GNote.Even my HD2 has much much better RAM management with its mere 480MB.

However since this is my first Android device I am not quite sure if this is a Samsung thing or an OS inconvenience.

On my HD2 I could keep multiple web pages open for latter offline reading when internet access is not available and it would keep it in memory even though many services would still be running.

Unfortunately its not the same with my Note,it just rushes to close apps on the first occasion.

Say what you may but being a long time PDA user I found that the old shot-in-the-head by its very same creator the Windows Mobile is the best multitusker I have ever used despite the fact that on those days the RAM was just minimal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] airwater9:
High RAM usage is due to the high number of pixels that need RAM & processing to drive them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Zhoreb:
On my old stock rom (KKA) I had the same....usually over 600Mb used.

A few days ago I flashed the latest LA4 stock rom. And what a big improvement that was. Smoother, 2 days on a battery with moderate use. And about 420MB ram used on average. A very big improvement.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SpecialStar:
I think it would be better if we know which version you have.

So you could upgrade to a newer version or just flash a custom rom.

most of the customroms are better than the stockrom ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] LordManhattan:
Yup, that's also correct.

[EVO 4G General] kys89012345:
Thanks for the reply. Should I try to flash a recovery even when it says S-ON?
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
It says s-on? If so you have to rerun a RUU to get the hboot back to 2.16 and then use revolutionary.io to unlock and root it again
[EVO 4G General] scottspa74:
hboot 6.17 with S-on? ...weird. wtf ? Strange. Did you just buy it used?
[EVO 4G General] Notorious:
It's like that because the previous owner didn't rerun the RUU to return it to normal hboot he just flashed the hex edited hboot to get s-on
[EVO 4G General] Captain_Throwback:
It really bothers me when lazy people don't follow ALL of my instructions. evo4gnoob is right; that's actually the next step in the process. People seem to think S-ON is enough (it probably is, in most cases), but a true EVOphile will know that 6.17 isn't a "real" (i.e. from HTC) HBOOT version.

[Motorola Atrix 2] gerardoo23:
Hi guys, I bought a Motorola Atrix 2 AT&T Unlocked and I have problems when I try to connect to the internet.

I can make/receive phone calls and sms, but no data. I'm from Venezuela and the carrier that I use has HSDPA 850 (It works fine with 3G), so it seems not to be the problem because atrix 2 is a "International Phone".

I tried everything, changed manually APNs and still I can't get data connection.

Toogled on/off radio and still no data.

Searching in phone info I found this:

Data

State_ DcInactiveState disconnected with last try at 7:59pm

Do you have any suggestion? Any help I'll appretiate.

It is the Access Point.

Please insert your sim card in a different phone, take note of the access points, and then put the sim back into the Atrix 2.

It happens many times, that the Atrix 2 is not able to see the Access Points configured inside the sim card.

Please let us know if that solves the problem.

[Motorola Photon 4G] nyckid211:
So, I bought a photon on Craigslist. I'm a firm believer that there are good people in the world as well as bad people. I spoke to the guy on the phone and he was very cordial. When asked, he told me the esn was clean, and that I could call sprint and verify. Upon delivery, his sister told me to call sprint to verify it's clean. I told her it wouldn't be necessary. I figured someone who is out to scam, isn't going to risk losing out on $250. So with that done, I went home. I hopped on checkesn.com and it told me the esn was not cleared. I was in shock, so i decided to sign onto sprint. After some research, I found out that you could figure out if the esn was clear by trying to activate it through the web interface. Same result returned. I called sprint and they told me that the phone was still attached to the account and that I had to ask the owner to release the phone. After I texted the guy, He said it was his mistake, and that he must have given me the wrong photon. He said he would call and have it removed from that account. He texted me back saying that it was cleared. 2 hours later, and it's still not cleared. I don't think that he would go through the rigamaroo of responding to me, if he wasn't planning on resolving this. Now its starting to seem more and more like I'm going to be stuck with a photon for a paperweight... sigh

[Motorola Photon 4G] stonesaber:
Maybe it's not his fault and the carrier screwed up. Before jumping to conclusions, I would find out as much info as possible, then if not satisfied, try asking the guy if he'll give you a refund. No need to be "vindictive", that'll only lead to more trouble. Especially if it's not the guys fault. Sounds like he has been trying to help and if he were trying to scam you, he would ignore you. And after all is said and done, if you don't get it resolved then chalk it up as experience. There is some personal responsibility in buying from sites like craigslist and ebay. You stated that the seller told you to call and check the ESN first and you declined. If you would have done so, you wouldn't be in the situation you're in. Seems the blame should not be laid on the seller in the end, but on you for not doing your due diligence.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dsims7_2000:

[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
It's probably attached to an account with a balance. If it isn't cleared, you have grounds to charge him (obtaining property under false pretense, a felony). Perhaps remind him of this.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nyckid211:
I wish I could. I tried calling him this morning to let him know that the phone was still attached to the account. His phone is disconnected. Now I'm starting to find more reasons to act like a neanderthal. Can anyone here tell me if there is a way to find out the balance or status on the line that is attached to this phone?
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Did you get it from his house? If not, file a police report. Be nice if it could be resolved without them involved, but I don't know if you can.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nyckid211:
No, I met with his sister at a public place. I just called her and she said that she has another phone connected to the account, so this one should not be attached to the account. I read somewhere that you have to wait something like 30 days before you swap esn's ( Don't recall if this applied to vzw or sprint). She said to call sprint and tell them it was a gift, and I wanted to manually activate it. She said if that doesn't work, she would switch out the phone with the one that they originally intended to give me. I just feel like when I try to call her back, her phone will be disconnected as well...

Worst case scenario, I can sell it to someone overseas for them to use with their sim chip... Don't know if anyone would want to pay $250 for it though.

[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
Since it's connected to an account, it'd be easy for you to get that money back via court. Also - Since it can be used on GSM networks, you could configure that and sell it as an unlocked GSM device, recoup some of your losses, if not all.
[Motorola Photon 4G] nyckid211:
Now I know... Stay away from Craigslist... I called her back, and she said she would get it squared away in an hour. What I find peculiar is that she called the phone she sold me, and apologized, and said she would get it disconnected, if not, she would meet me to give me another phone. I told her I would call her back at 12. She insists that she will give me another phone, should she not be able to remedy the situation with this one. Fingers still crossed.
[Motorola Photon 4G] AKDMA:
