[Nexus S General] therealdjlink@gmail.com:
So I ran over my phone. The digitizer is smashed, no way to use the phone via GUI. I took it apart at work today and noticed the SanDisk SDIN4C2 16GB NAND Flash memory module is removable. I will be receiving a replacment model tomorrow from the insurance company, and was wondering if it would be possible (and safe) to place my memory module into the new device. The only thing I would be worried about is some sort of weird pairing between the nand chip and the motherboard.

So my question to you is which method do you think would be better to extract my data?

1. Do a complete motherboard swap without activating the device to avoid ESN conflicts, put the device in USB mode, and pull the data?

2. Simply swap out the memory module and pull the data?

3. Attempt to pull the BGA chip off of the silicon, and access have a data center rescue it?

Option 3 is expensive, and I am pretty well rounded when it comes to hardware knowledge. I just want to see if anyone else has had similar experiences in getting the data from another device without physical SdCard storage.

Thanks,

i would say option 2...try the easiest thing first!...so you work for sprint??.

[Nexus S General] therealdjlink@gmail.com:
Yes I do. I have been in consumer Technical Support for about 2 years now. I work in the Corporate Call center in Texas. Also option 2 is the most attractive.
[Nexus S General] superm1:
Was the phone already rooted with a custom recovery on it? If so, you should be able to get into recovery without using the screen at all. You can adb pull from cwm and/or enable usb drive mode to get at data.

If not already rooted, then I would tend to say <1> is your safer option. You won't have to do any soldering then at least. Of course it's possible that in your running it over more than the digitizer is actually screwed. So if that fails, pull the chip off and transfer it over to get the data off.

There is a module of the Android sdk, called screencast. It lets you use your PC as a duplicate screen. You can use your mouse to navigate your phone.

@therealdjlink ....since your a sprint employee...how about some info on the ICS OTA!?!!.... :)

He knows as much as we do... Plus there is so many more employees on xda besides him
[Nexus S General] therealdjlink@gmail.com:
Exactly. We don't really get all that much info very quickly. Engadget generally gets info before we do lol.

Also, I forgot to mention that the charging port is a no go.

However, I received my replacement from Asurion, cracked it open, switched the modules over and it work like a charm. Came back up exactly how I left it. :)

Thank for all the input everyone.
[Nexus S General] therealdjlink@gmail.com:
The sandisk chip swapped and clicked in like butter. Worked like a charm. All data is intact. Making a backup. RIGHT NOW.

I am also rooting it tonight, tired of google to re-push ICS. and on a blank phone I may as well go for it.

Hey, do you have to use a heat gun to remove the SanDisk chip from the motherboard?

Having some difficulty with the typing. After I restart my mobile i9003, input while typing became less responsive that it was before restart. Has anyone facing the same problem??
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Dragonety:
Have you tried to restart your phone again? It worked for me once.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Wahaha123:
You have a swype keypad already built in it right? for me it is better than touchpal.
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] batibot:
have you deodexed your phone and flashed a theme? if you do that may be the cause. i had experienced that prob after flashing a theme. it gets responsive after a normal reboot but get some prob an hour after rebooting.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marc.c:
I started globatrons no HTC Unlock method for a downgrade to GB and I think I have made a mistake. When it came to run the ruu I think is where my error came. I put the code fastboot oemRUU. I noticed afterwards that was the directions for mac/linux.

Now I am stuck on the black screen with the mirrored htc and if I unplug the flyer I'm in the boot loader with only an option for RUU, but I can't do anything.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

Marc
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marc.c:
Well after I realized I could restart the tablet and I did. When it booted the system UI force closed. Also the bottom status bar doesn't show up either. I guess this is from the start of the downgrade. I just have it charging at the moment.

Can I resume from where I left off? What would be the correct way to flash the RUU?

Thank you so much

I assume you mean this thread?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409306

If so, it seems like this is fine. "Linux/MacOS Instructions (Also works on windows"

So just keep following the instructions and it should be ok.
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marc.c:
That's not the thread I started the instructions from but its nearly identical. This is where I saw the directions: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18508231&postcount=3

I was following this thread until it got to the RUU which I got confused on: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1428104

My question is, and this is where I get confused, the RUU I downloaded is not a zip file and the command calls for a zip file. So what would I do? Is there a way to run the RUU through windows that I am not seeing or understanding?

I am sorry if all this is painfully obvious and that I am missing it.

Thanks for your help!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] marc.c:
Well I discovered my problem. My RUU did not have the .exe extension. Once I added that all was good!

Thanks!
[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] kudosmog:
ok cool. That's the same guide I used. I wasn't expecting to be running an EXE on my PC either =P

My TP lost the Google calendar sync after upgrade to CM9 Alpha 1.

I can not find any sync item for Google calendar on setting menu --> Accounts & sync ! please see my attach file on this post !

Anyone got same problem:(
[TouchPad General] waldo98:
i just noticed the same thing as well :confused:
[TouchPad General] buzz killington:
Mine is just the opposite, never synced very well on 0.6 but now it works really well. I think it's the gapps, I flashed the one I downloaded with aokp after installing alpha 1.
[TouchPad General] chicle_11:
Try flashing the gapp fixer utility, the link is in the dev forum. This fixed the problem for me.
[TouchPad General] hki_peter:
Thanks for help

Now the Google calendar sync is back normal sync with my gmail account !

I was install gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11 with A0.6

after upgrade A1 the Google calendar sync got problem and lost !

and than I try install gapps-ics-20111230, google calendar sync still got problem and lost.

and then I try install gapps_fixer, google calendar sync is back. :eek:

I do believe that gapps_ics_4.0.3_v11 is not working very well with ICS on TP. :mad:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] remixkilla:
Looks nice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] imitenotbecrazy:
apparently its launching 2/29! Ill definitely be giving this a try on my note and possibly my touchpad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
I want this!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Looks rockin, but appears it may have a big learning curve. Looks like it has a crap ton of interactions. Can't wait to try that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] roloracer:
that's awesome looking, it has a retarded amount of features and ways to modify the layout, it's gonna be a sick launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Punchatron:
This is gonna blow my mind on the Note. Thanks for sharing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
I watched videos of this UI 2 yrs ago before Blackberry bought the company, Tat UI I think. Guess the BB deal fell thru??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
Yea i saw this a while ago it looks cool though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jwood55812:
Thanks for the heads up, I'm really looking for a launcher to do separate portrait and landscape modes, I've heard of Sweeter Home 2 or ssLauncher, but really was hoping for a well know launcher to support this, any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] glm1157:
Has anyone seen this thing work as a launcher? The video showed lots of set up stuff. With all the features and animation it might be laggy. I guess we'll see next week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StarLog:
This is good code, wish it was out now. Will definately purchase.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] taksidiotis:
when is coming on market place?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xavier55:
on the 29th of this month
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
i bet this will be a huge battery intensive launcher although I do admit it does look pretty cool.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
So the website is down now. Maybe to prepare for the launch?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kimtyson:
Yeah, website not working for launch day. Oh well. Nothing really new but this launcher sure gives you everything in one package. Wow! It would be nice to take a look at it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] xavier55:
it will not come out until tonight stated on their blog so that might be this afternoon for us!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Punchatron:
It's up for sale. $16.80!!!!

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.tsf.shell
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bkeaver:
yeah I dont know if I will be spending that on this... it has to be more resource intensive than the standard TWLauncher. if not I would be surprised.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sb020397:
Says it is not compatible with note! Bummer!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
It says it will install on my Note?

But I am not paying $16.80 for it unless I get it as a gift like I did with SPB Shell 3D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
It let me download it, but it force closes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RavenZwei:
Well downloaded it. What I got to play with ran surprisingly well. Didn't see any real lag at all. Only issue I ran into, and the only reason I got a refund on it, was because when I tried to download the Music and Weather widgets, they couldn't be found in the Market. Once those become available, I will purchase again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
music and weather widgets show in the market

https://market.android.com/developer?pub=TSFUI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] esincho:
Can't see how to resize widgets, no scrollable widgets, no tsf widgets, yet. No live wallpaper support. Blah
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
I think tsf widgets need to be installed separate. Weather, Music and Notepad widgets all here https://market.android.com/developer?pub=TSFUI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RavenZwei:
Odd. Maybe they went live after the launcher itself? Because when I was playing with it, when you tried to add any of those things, it would take you to the Market and nothing was there.

I could have sworn the video I watched on this said it supported live wallpaper. Maybe I'm remembering something else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
I wonder if it supports custom icons.....SPB Shell 3D does not without using Desktop Visualizer....and that's just too much work....I'd rather custom icon support be baked into the launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
From watching the movie it seems most of the effort of this product was put into screen editing. A lot of cool features to make it easy to edit screens/folders...

If you just look at the final result (actual usage) I dont see anything too appealing. The 3-4 widgets they include are off the cheese scale. And whats with the floating clip art? But the real killer is the price. $16 for extra cheese is out of line.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] ImeeezI:
I have it now on my note, running 2.3.6 KK2 XSG.. its smoooooth and fast :eek: , No FCs, waiting for more widgets.

Used Market unlocker (T-Mobile)

but scroll widgets aren't supported... and no LWP... hope they fix it asap.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] p51d007:
Unless they come out with a "free" version that gives you more than the market 30 minutes to figure out if you want it, FORGET IT. 17 bucks? Nope...pass
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Dave*228:
What grid size does it allow? (number of columns andf rows)?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
I broke down....I AM WEAK!!

And I bought TSF Launcher!!

I also had some extra fun money hiding in paypal so I transferred that....so we're all good.

I will report back in a few days on this launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
u gon make me think about buying it...........ima try and hold off though:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
buy it!!! Do it!!! :p :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
I just bought it.....such a bad influence.

i just took 17 dollars from my Transformer Prime fund...lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
NICE!!

I am going to need a few days before I can say what I really think about it.....so much to learn here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
so..... what's everybody's review that bought it? I'm on the outside looking in right now... i hear a lot of noise but I don't see anything going on.. CURIOUS
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
so far it seems SUPER SMOOTH no lag at all, but i have only had it for what 10 min.....lol

like mortem said there SOOOO many things to play with, its a completely different look then most launchers. ima have to really sit down and go through it.

but im at work so i can only play with it for minutes at a time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
OK, Does anyone know why it only force closes on my Note? I can't seem to figure it out.

Message is:

The application TSF Shell (process com.tsf.shell) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pathtologos:
Well I downloaded it. It's incredibly smooth. NO lag AT ALL. One thing kinda wierd which may be just a "getting used to it" kinda thing is that you can't swipe from pages where your apps are to pages where your widgets are. You have to use that button on the corner to get to those pages. The screen transitions between pages where your apps are listed are awesome. The widgets pages are nice too but you can't resize them. I REALLY hope they add that functionality soon. Overall it is very unique and its got great potential. Not sure it's worth $17 yet, but I got a feeling it'll get there.

---------- Post added at 04:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

Strange, I haven't seen that. What launcher were you using before? Did you "clear defaults" on the old launcher. Other thing you could try is to delete it and download it again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
I really think something like this is going to take a few days for people to really give a true sense of what it's like and to really offer an educated opinion. :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
I was using ADW EX. Cleared defaults. Didn't work.

Cleared ADW data and uninstalled ADW. Didn't work.

Uninstalled and reinstalled TSF Shell multiple times. Didn't work.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the root kernel I'm using. I'm not even sure which one it is but I know it was the first one released that is not overclocked. Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] pathtologos:
I've got the overclocked one but I am NOT overclocked right now. You might be right about the kernel. Maybe others could chime in and see if there's a pattern.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
LOL

couldn't wait to post a screen could you :p

nice wallpaper BTW :cool:

couple things I noticed here....

no ability to hid notification bar

no custom icons......which for me is almost a sin against all humanity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
yea i got the wallpaper from some website that i can no longer remember;)

yep i was the first, yea i noticed the notification thing as well.......and it will take some time to get creative with this one. i just wish we could twist widgets like we can do the apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mike's Aria:
I went extreme. I did a factory reset and now it works. Don't know what I had set or installed that would have caused it to FC. I guess I will find out after resetting up my phone. I know it's not the kernel since I still have root.

In the process of installing everything now. Will update once I figure out what it was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Cozzeck:
Honestly didn't like it, it seems like there are a few glitches that still need to be worked out of it get. In my opinion its not worth $17 at all. Has nice and smooth animation but the screen seems to get to cluttered and you can't get anything organized. Im not sure how to arrange the icons so there straight, they just kinda stay where you put them. And the built in launcher widget selector on the side is all messed up, it stacks all the widget buttons on top of each other so all you can select is one of them. And it also reminds me to much of that miui / iphone feel and i was over that a long time ago. Sorry but im gonna have to give this launcher a thumbs down, but im sure it will get better once the launcher matures a bit.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
the bar on the side is actually one of the aspects that i like about launcher.....especially the different tabs, i dont get the pile up that you are talking about. i wish it had a lil more custimization but i actually like the icon twisting you can make it look exactly how you want. but im not done playing with it yet. so for i am about 50 50 on it. its just different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I'm in love with the launcher, personally. Its my new daily driver from ADW. Posting a screenshot of my desktop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Amazingly, this thing is WELL coded. The battery drain is nonexistant. Literally, nada. It is so freaking smooth too. This is an excellent first day release - can't wait to see what it becomes in time.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
i dont like you cant bind the home key to a page.....or at least i have not figured it out yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] memee4eva:
How did you guys get it to work? I keep getting FCs (Force Close), I set it as my default launcher and now I am stuck, the laucher keeps reloading/restarting and I can't get to desktop or settings to uninstall it :confused:

FINALLY!!! I was able to to get to Task Manager by holding the home button, I uninstalled it from there!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
Been flawless for me. Rooted, ROM'd or anything? Several reports of fc's from rooted people. Almost no reports of errors on stock.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] scotty2hotty1125:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] s1mpd1ddy:
Got it on my atrix --- its.... very very smooth, quick. Small learning curve --- but you pick it up easily. I wish you could control how many homescreens you have (if there is an option for that, where is it?)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
has anyone found an option to set a HOME page, so the home button will take you to that page from anywhere in the launcher???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] omenz:
I didn't see really any options in the launcher. I'm actually disappointed by the launcher over all. Sure there's potential but they should of released a full product.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
i actually like it better than other launchers.......i just dont like it doesnt let you set a home page, how simple of an option that was missed - and i have no idea why.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Truaim:
^ That. And I'm a web developer myself, so I understand the effort that goes into a virtual product, but I'm not forking out $17 for something I might not even like, like I didn't.

I'm the same guy the pirates Albums then purchases a physical if I like it. Idk, might as well be talking about religion or politics lol.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pandemoniumone:
V1.2

An updated version for today. Agree with most everything mentioned in this thread. A great launcher but needs the basic functions available to become a phenomenal launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] hauj0bb:
Agreed, this is the only third party launcher I've been able to use. ADW Ex, GO Launcher, Zeam... I've tried them all, none stacked up to the smoothness of the stock TW launcher until now. TSF Shell is my new default launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RadNinjaDoSo13:
Worth supporting the dev @ $17

Purchased the app yesterday at 3:00 pst.... Haven't looked back since. While the learning curve, lack of instructions and missing features (as shown on youtube) where a little bit of a bummer, it was more complete than not. To add, the devs took less than 24 hours to send out 3 updates. In it's current form is super smooth and quite frankly the baddest launcher available for my Galaxy Note.

For those not wanting to drop the $17. That's understandable but if you're going to use it then buy it. I'm no Saint as I've had my fair share of "cracked downloads" over the years, these guys deserve to be paid for their work, IMHO.... Cheers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gordec:
Is it true, it doesn't support our Note's 720p resolution?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RadNinjaDoSo13:
Looking forward to it. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] :
This launcher is inadequate by my measurements. No landscape was the deal breaker for me and the no Widgets working was pretty lame IMHO. Would not pay 4.99 never mind 17. Just my opinion again. I am using go launcher which had some lag until I adjusted the transition speed to slow. I also downloaded spare parts pro from the market and with a few tweaks I have no noticeable lag now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] the2rrell:
I have spb shell as well. I don't think its better it suffers from the same faults as this one. Less the landscape and home button. Both are smooth...but tsf seems a bit smoother.

Can't wait for the video mortem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Mortem Tuam:
Shoot!

I forgot to mention no landscape and the home button issues on the video. LOL :p DOH!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
How's the battery?

Can anyone let me know how the battery is on this launcher? One report earlier in the thread said they experienced wonderful battery life while another says horrible. If someone could clear that up, I'd sure be appreciative.
