[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
i figured i should cross post this in here too since its very related.

ok so i went and did it, i did my first flash ever. i used mobile odin pro and went to LB1.

i didnt know it would keep my apps and settings so i did a titanium backup.

most of my programs were restored but some system programs are missing. like the camera app is no longer there. what happened to that? and others are missing but i dont know what they are because i just have a link that says "loading" and i forget what the shortcut was pointing to.

so i tried a restore with titanium backup and the camera app is back. the camcorder app was still there but the little switch to camera thing in the corner does not work. i tried to restore the older camcorder app and it didnt fix that problem. i CAN switch from camera to camcoder when launching from the camera app, but not the other way around.

any help?

calendar is another app thats missing, and doing a restore from titanium does NOT restore it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
You have already backup, so better you wipe cache n data then reflash rom, you shud not miss system app. I suspect something wrong in flashing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
sorry for the noob question, but where do i do that? and what exactly does that wipe? apps? settings? what exactly.

thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Go to recovery with home + vol up + power

Select wipe cache, wipe data

reboot device n open mobile odin n reflash as you did it before.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] evil-doer:
i think just doing the wipes fixed it. altho now i need to restore everything.

how does that work anyways? if i do a titanium reinstall, might it overwrite the newer apps with older ones? or some newer settings with older ones. breaking stuff?

edit: ok ive got almost everything re set up again and everything is working except ONE thing.. adaway..

it was working fine on my old firmware, no issues setting it up, but this time im getting these errors:

doesnt work on default so i set it to /data/data/hosts .. then i get that second error. i also tried creating the symlink and i get the error that it already exists.

any ideas?

edit: ok adfree works, just not adaway.. weird?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] michom:
updated from LA4 through OTA. I still have root, gallery is much faster than before, facebook/market/maps still working fine. It's a non-wipe update. No extra apps installed due to this update. I still have a feeling that the back button lags when you press it multiple times, but the phone is faster in general.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] tehno:
I've got the ROM from the dev forum post containing all the roms and flashed it with Mobile Odin Pro, no hick-ups and stuff, the only thing that went missing was Alt Drawer ( I think because it was a system app perhaps) but restored that with TB and now all is fine.

Market app is fine, even had some updates which are installing now, all seems smooth.

Also, not sure if you guys had this but my Note was a bit delayed when pressing the home button to wake up and also had a slight delay when unlocking the Widget Locker thingie ( I assumed the delay was from Widget Locker on both accounts) but now both delays are GONE :D

Don't see any other diffs atm but I've just flashed so yeah.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] michom:
I also noticed that battery usage shows the apps battery consumption in more details instead of everything in android os
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] zkyevolved:
I see battery consumption is higher on this build than the previous one. I've even done a battery pull just to make sure, and for sure, I see it very clearly that battery life isn't as good but I do see that the device is much more responsive. So I'm still happy as I can get through a full day still :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] universil:
Well after trying ICS I was bit worried but this was simple, (nice stock rom) so using Odin I giving this a :D:D:D try.

Hope it's better, but must confess, I had no probs with one I had.

Just rebooted and all is well so far :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Towserspvm2000:
The Facebook app got updated, and it died on me and a several thousand others completely. Have a look at the comments on the market... it seems anyone with a recent phone is having major problems, to the extent that it's unusable now.

I'm running Friendcaster, and it seems to work quite well. I'll consider buying the pro version now since the Facebook app is beyond a joke.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Romino_:
Mine Facebook is working fine, im using LB1.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] choihan06:
i too have no problem at all using facebook on my note (on LB1)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Skiddledank:
Have German Note, did LB1 update OTA

Anyone notice on a reboot that the sound is off? This didn't happen before LB1 for me. No problem with FB widget though. Noticed batt seems to drain faster, actually a lot faster. She do fly though.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] kirdroid:
Got the OTA update for LB1 and no problem with boot sound.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] choihan06:
did OTA updaye to LB1 too.

no problem with sound, and to be honest i think it has better battery life than LA4.. if you did not factory reset your phone for a long time you might wanna consider doing it..
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Skiddledank:
Long time? I never did it...lol

Does that wipe out your downloaded apps, pics, drawings, notes and things that basically didn't come with the phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Romino_:
Short answer: Yes.

So you better backup all things before.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] choihan06:
yes it does wipe everything.

i rather install apps freshly then restoring them because, some stupid reason, when i restore all the apps it feels like I'm putting back all unnecessary files again.. but then again if you don't wanna lose anything, root your phone and use titanium for back up and restore!

I'm sure doing that your note will fly!!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] michom:
The back button lag is still there. Lag is the same after few days (app launching mainly)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Braxos:
+1 first boot no sound on animation at all
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] misirac:
which method is best and fastest to root this fw ? tnx
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anjath:
mobile odin pro
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] misirac:
but does not mobile odin pro requires root to run?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] btyeh:
Yes it does. You can purchase / download it from the Android Market here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] misirac:
but how do root my phone with an application that requires root ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] npras42:
Unfortunately you cannot root this ROM directly if you have already installed it and do not have Root.

You must use PC-Odin to return to a stock ROM that is rootable (such as KJ4 or KKA) and use the zergrush exploit to root the older stock ROM. Then best thing would be to use Mobile Odin Pro to upgrade to this ROM (LB1) with the everroot option enabled.

Look at dr. ketans thread that is stickied in the Galaxy Note Android Development forum.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dr.ketan:
Anjath Are U Ok?

hez asking for root, not for update ROM

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:31 PM ----------

You are right, you can't do it with Mobile odin

npras42 advised you in previous post is correct, you can't Root LB1 directly

download my guide from last link on my signature for assistance.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Skiddledank:
Just wanted to say thanks choihan, I got the nerve up to do a factory reset and now she flies no more lag on homescreens whatsoever. Sound is on too on reboot. Battery use is the best it's been since I've had the phone. Have also updated to LC1 OTA since then and to be sure did another reset.

Thanks again.

Question

Hi people.

I have a question.

I have the last update (LB1) and i cant root with DoomMLord`s easy tools.

Can anyone tell me how can i root my i9100G easily?

Thanks a lot and sorry about my english (Im from Uruguay, South America)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] slice2011:
Hi everyone!

Please be gentle as this is new for me for a phone, not new here on xda just spent time on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 forums, just new to the T mobile SG2. I just picked this excellent phone yesterday and have already rooted it. I have the tab 10.1 running task's ROM with perhoot's kernel and flashing ROM etc is pretty straight forward since it isn't with a carrier, just WiFi. I currently have Android 2.3.6 and want to flash a ROM, I am back and forth between Bombaridier V.3.5 and CyanogenMod 7 Self-Kang #2 Alphafied 2.3.7 or any other one that someone would recommend?

Since I have never owned an Android phone only the tab 10.1 I have some question and I did search but am still confused and dont want to screw up.

1. If I am on 2.3.6 can I flash one that says 2.3.7?

2. I am on t mobile, so the one I flash needs to be in the Android development on the T Mobile forum located here?

3 any other thing I need to do so I don't lose the base band of the phone (i guess that is what they call it) as my wife has an iPhone and I keep seeing instructions for preserving base band?

3. Anything I missed that I need to know about?

All I really really appreciate the help and guidance just want to get on a custom ROM as I love it on my tab 10.1, thanks again everyone!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] skadude66:
Welcome!

1. You can flash from 2.3.6 to 2.3.7 no problem.

2. Any ROM that is in this specific subforum will work. Do NOT flash anything for any other Galaxy S II, it may brick your phone.

3. Basebands are not included in roms, so you will not lose it, unless you flash a new modem.

Just remember to always perform a full wipe, I recommend the Darkside Super Wipe. You can backup your apps with Titanium Backup.

Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] slice2011:
Thanks, just flashed with success. Appreciate the help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
Look into TDJ's superwipe in the rom section. I do that between flashes since it keeps things clean.

An example is that before it came out, i had 1.8 gigs used on my rom partition, and after using it and installing all the same apps with data(restoring with titanium) and having the phone rebuilt to the same state with another samsung based rom, it was only 1.1 used. Lots of junk gets left behind here and there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] alphadog32:
You can also flash AT&T Skyrocket ROMs, Kernels, Radio Modems, Recoveries, and Odin's.
[Motorola Droid 4] svrnmnd:
so like always I get my phone from verizon and there are just LOADS of apps that I don't want and will never use. the first thing I usually do is download my browser of choice (xscope) and then I will go into an application and click a link or an ad. you are prompted with a dialogue of which of the browsers you want to use to open I chose xscope and tick the box that says use this as default. I am then safe to un install the stock browser and not run into any problems. I also took out the ones I knew wouldn't interfere with anything like netflix, blockbuster, pre loaded game demos.

my question is , is it safe to remove these moto blur applications, I never use facebook on my phone, I don't twitter...they're wasting space and I'd rather just get rid of them, but my last phone was the moto droid 1 and it didn't have any of this blur bull****.

so are there any complications if I remove my facebook or twitter apps then I click someones facebook link and my phone explodes because it cant find the moto blur app? Also can I get rid of the backup stuff...and Im not sure why...but Gallery has been replaced with 'my pictures' and it has that ****ing red thing on the top which indicates it will upload these to my verizon account....uhhh no thank you....do I have to keep this or can I just install an old gallery and make that default?
[Motorola Droid 4] dewhashish:
I wouldn't remove them, just freeze them. Titanium backup pro is a great tool and really worth the money. There's a lot of apps that can be frozen and not cause issues, check the Android development for the Droid 4, there's a thread about which apps you can freeze. Removing them can cause instability with the phone, and no sbf files have been released
[Motorola Droid 4] svrnmnd:
yeep I ****ed up. I only uninstalled bloat bs like blur youtube facebook twitter, everything was seemingly working fine then I just tried to call my friend and my dialer force closes. I made backups of everything ... I was using system app remover and it has a option to backup or to disable . I backed up ..it pushed the odex files too but when I go to the folder in root explorer and install it will go through the process and then say file not installed....advice?
[Motorola Droid 4] svrnmnd:
scratch that I did a factory reset and the problem still persists. called up verizon they said they were going to give me a new phone since I just picked it up yesterday. only thing tho...can I unroot my phone and how? should I just un-install superuser? I doubt anyone at the store is going to know its rooted if I just un install that.
[Motorola Droid 4] djdarkside1983:
Please don't return your phone. You root you pay!
[Motorola Droid 4] jy3ng4:
Here's the list of apps I froze on my Droid 4. My battery life is amazing now. I was at over 50% after 20 hours on battery yesterday.
[Motorola Droid 4] svrnmnd:
Can't I just unroot it? I know none of the retards at the store will be able to tell the difference...but I figured I would use the Droid 4 Utilities seen here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1492843 and just unroot it and give it back? you think it will work?
[Omnia II General] Ramious:
First I noticed that my Lock button doesn't work anymore. When I press it, nothing happens. I thought it's a bug or something so I flashed different Roms but the problem still exists...

it is not a hardware problem, because i can hard reset my device normally.

When the phone goes to stand-by mode, it stays off for one second and then it turns the screen and backlight back on. That runs my battery out quite quickly.

I have searched forum for this problem, but did not find any answer.

Is there a solution for this??
[Omnia II General] ASobral:
the same problem here!!!

have someone an idea?!
[Omnia II General] Aafi-rocks:
I've had the same problem with my Omnia i8000.

But my Phone will come back on only if I am listening to Music.

Does this happen to you while listening to Music ? If Yes, then just turn the volume one step down. Thats a workaround I've found for my phone.
[Omnia II General] hungaryguy:
has anybody fixed this issue on their omnia pro yet?

i am facing the same issue, the screen is always on as the lock key doesnt do anything....the only time the screen shuts off is when using the touch music player after 60 sec.(backlight setting when phone not on external power)......screen turns on when the song ends.....hard reset to factory settings doesnt fix the issue......plz help if u hv a solution figured out....thnx
[Omnia II General] sangisettynaresh:
SangisettyNaresh

Amazing...:o You are my lifesaver...I have been facing this problem since last one month.

Your idea worked for me but can you tell why this problem occurs? and this is a temporary solution...Is there any permanent solution to this problem?
[Omnia II General] Damyanof:
Greetings to all. I had this problem for a while. I solved it with 2 programs - the first is AEButton and the second Smart Lock. I mapped the W&L button to "lock device"(AEButton). After that going to SmartLock ticked: Lock screen and then stand-by. In this way I used the W&L buttons as lock key. Worked for me, hope it works for you! :)

P.S. I am using custom rom without the touchwiz interface, I dont know if that makes any difference!

EDIT: It fixes the issue partly...the screen pops out every 20 seconds or so.... Seems to me it is a hardware problem. Flashing with different ROMs doesn`t seem to work.
[General Questions and Answers] Johnsoto:
Just a general question not specific to any operating system. But would also like to know specifically for my Android Nexus S.

Does rooting a phone prevent a carrier, OS Manufacturer from performing a remote kill?

I have read a lot about OS manufactures coding in remote kill switches, think, Google and Amazon, but now I heard Windows 8 is going to have one as well. They say it's just for Malware removal but Amazon did it to users of the Kindle for a book that shouldn't have been sold in the first place.

Many thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Archer:
Rooting will have no effect on anything like that, no. Saying that, why are you worried about someone (Google or your service provider) locking your phone? You may be worrying unnecessarily.
[General Questions and Answers] Johnsoto:
First thanks for answering my question. :)

And to answer yours, I believe in property rights. And I simply don't like any body but me having any control over my property. Amazon took away a book that thousands of people purchased. Amazon simply clicked a few mouse buttons and their property vanished.

I see why they feel the need to have it. To protect their customers from themselves. But I don't need any protecting. And if I screw up my own phone then I am fine with that. I have no one to blame but myself.

How about you? Are okay giving someone else control over your property just because they say they will do no harm?
[General Questions and Answers] :
Providing your compile AOSP from scratch and look for, and remove, any "kill switch" you should be fine. That said if the kill switch is tied to the market app (or gapps) simply installing them could allow apps to be disabled. I know with iOS there is a way to block apple from doing it (via jailbreaking) so I'm sure you could do it on android as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] o0revenger0o:
Hello everyone,

I recently flashed my GN to stock 4.0.2 and then went to restore a previous backup of 4.0.1 to my phone. The restore process went fine except for my pictures and videos. I backed up my phone from the Galaxy Nexus toolkit V5.3. I know that I should have known better as it does warn you but I was in a rush when I backed up my phone :(

I attached a picture below of what appears in the gallery. Only thumbnails appear but when you tap the pictures, it just loads forever.

So does know how I can extract open the .bak or somehow restore the pictures and videos to my phone?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

The problem is that with hboot 1.5 your not nand unlocked (s-off) so you can't flash kernels without taking extra steps, like booting into recovery with adb or using Flash Image GUI app by joeykrim. You can find it in the market. Here is a link to help u out.

Also, if you took the 651.5 update, you can only use Roms with that base b/c of differences in the kernel/radios. If you are on 651.3 or prior, don't use the 651.5 based roms b/c you'll have issues.

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unbenannt:
let me explain the situation a bit:

for a few days now i'm playing with DFT rom on my omnia and one of the good things is, that i now can use a browser with a download-manager (Opera Mobile)..

so i just made up a quick web server on my PC, hooked up folders with mp3s and navigated on it using Opera on my phone..

question is: after i download a .mp3 file off that server, Opera asks me where to put it; i select 'Music' folder and (to-check) with a root-explorer i find my downloaded .mp3 file under ./my documents/my music .. but how do i manage Zune to recognize the file and add to its library? where to put the file?

oh and sorry if it's already been answered but i did not find any useable information..
