[Off-topic] Gadget0Freak:
This is a really strange question to ask on XDA, but just trying to gain some understanding before I have to join another website forum. When you burn a CD/DVD on your Windows based PC (Windows 7 Pro), what system information is recorded on the disc? I am assuming the operating system and version, the program that was used to burn the data, and of course the optical hardware (burner) make/model and firmware. My question boils down to is your OS serial number, program serial number(s), or any other personally identifiable or trackable information stored? I am in a "Don't ask, Don't tell" situation:eek: and figured with all of the guru's located here that someone would know. Thanks in advance for any insight into this! :rolleyes:

when i click "choose zip from sd card" it says something to the point of "can't mount / sd card" or something... i tried going back to the home menu and mounting sd card but it says the same thing. any ideas why?

You can do that while in CWM. You may need to re-mount from the mounts menu.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fubarred:
Hi, I am based in HongKong. I received a Prime purchased in US 3 days ago, already updated to ICS pre purchase and with latest market version. However I have been facing couple of serious issues :

1. While I can see all the paid apps while browsing the market but if i try to purchase anything, it given me "error: item you are trying to purchase cannot be found". I tried purchasing same app from my HTC DHD (rooted w Android Revolution ROM) and did not face any problem! HongKong does have paid app availability so I dont think root should be necessary unless ICS changed that?

2. The search in the market seems horribly broken. I dont even get Skype to show up if i search for it. I had to google and follow the link to market to download it..

Any suggestions? Do I need to reinstall ICS? I have already tried doing a factory reset but it dint help..:(
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Keion:
China firewall censored it. :D LOLJK but I don't know.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fubarred:
hehe.. well thnks for trying! i wud have actually thought something like that too but given it works all fine on phones.. had to eliminate that option.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Fubarred:
good news.. think the problem got solved for me after I did a hard reboot. Hold the power button down+VolDown button during startup till it takes you to the Wipe Data screen. After wiping data when it restarted I DID NOT ENTER MY GMAIL ID. (i dont know if that made the difference but thought will mention it). I skipped the gmail entry at startup and went straight to the market and entered gmail id there when asked. Could start to purchase apps fine now

Hope it helps anyone else facing the issue.

PS: I did a reinstall of ICS prior to trying the hard reboot.. but just reinstall alone did not help.

I'm selling my Galaxy Tab (wifi) and I have already dropped the stock rom on the device and done a hard reset. Is there any way to delete all the data (in the sdcard mount) through the UI? Or do I need to go back and install a console so I can do it with the command line?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slack04:
Factory reset.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
What the guy above me said, Factory reset should work but it won't actually wipe the data inside it, Best bet would be to flash CWM and wipe it clean of it's /datadata, But don't wipe the system files.

OR

Flash a pit file and stock firmware. The pit file (Should be on the overcome site or sammobile) should repartition the device and make it all brand new with just the contents of the stock firmware.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninor9:
?

I am not sure if that is an accurate statement. When I soft-bricked my Samsung galaxy S phone and had to reuse a stock pit and firmware file, it left my data intact that was not related to the OS (pics, vids, etc.). There may be an option in Odin or Heimdall to wipe the drive clean,but I don't know enough to give advice on that.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
That's cause of repartitioning wipes it clean.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misledz:
Afaik, Just getting rid of your Google Account should render the tab to be like a stock, HC is very dependent on a Google Account to save things. Other than that I don't see how "Free Apps" can be a threat. Just clear the data via Application Settings on those apps you don't want to keep your personal data on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
I was sifting through some of my old files, looking for the perfect Google search widget to go with my phone, and I thought I'd put these out there to share with everyone else. I've got 5 to show off, and if anyone else has any others feel free to add them to the gumbo.

Top one is the Black Color Mod. Can't remember where I found it.

Second one is the Black Glossy Mod. I think it came from Maddoggins in the Epic 4G section. NOTE: when I pasted the .apk in the /app folder, I got a forced reboot, but it worked just fine after the reboot (I'm running SHOstock)

Third one is from di11igafs Gingerbeast ROM for the Inspire 4G. It's hard to tell in the picture I have, but it's actually a smoked glass background; here it is on a lighter wallpaper.

The fourth one is made with a app that has been taken down from the market, Custom ISC Search. You can make the borders, background, and more any color you want.

The last one is the GO Search Widget with the ICS theme. You have to have the GO Launcher to use it, but it's pretty sweet looking.

To use the first three boxes, you have to download the .apk, change the name of the file to GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk, and put it in your /system/app folder, replacing the file you have there already. Reboot and you are good to go.

To use the Custom ICS Search widget, just install it as you would any other app, and you will be able to create the box when you set the widget.

Google search is a system app on my phone w/ option to uninstall updates but not app. How do I install one of these? It says application not installed when I try to install it. Its also is an older version then my current google search, will this cause problems?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Manually via root explorer. Copy it to /system, change the permissions to rw-r-r, and move it to /system/app (replace the existing one). There's a step by step in my signature (manually replacing modded system files with root explorer).

I must be in a wrong folder. I didn't have an app to replace in system/app trying to replace: com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox.apk renamed the apk same as market app and same permissions but it says application not installed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
I'm not really sure just what you did. You can't install like a regular .apk. Uninstall the app if you can, the reinstall from the market to see if everything works. Then do it the way I described.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
I reinstalled my rom, then it updated on its own after that. Seems like even if I would install black glossy one it would just update out of it. But I still haven't figured out what time properly replacing. Which apk in what folder.

EDIT: I followed your system app replacement tut to a T. After reboot it said could not access/mount SD card, and something about usb storage. My widget remains unchanged and adding a new widget didn't change it either: (
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SmittyRN:
Yeah, that's one thing... if you have your market set to auto-update, it's just gonna update it away. You have to turn that off.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AcmeWidgets:
Okay. I updated my app., and the best I can get now is the default or the customizable ICS.

The one I really want is the Black Color Mod. For some reason it won't take.

I tried a couple of methods. I updated the app. on my own I didn't realize this is an entire app. I just thought it was just the appearance of the widget and/or icon.

The updated version add features I want to use.

Too bad there is not a way to just change the widget and/or icon.

I gotta learn how to do this stuff! (Change just the appearance)

The Customizable ICS was my second choice so no big dealio.

Thanks for posting these again.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KonaZXIII:
I

was

having a problem with the bland grey OEM search box persisting no matter what I did, but I found a fix.

Here are the main things to try if the new apk isn't working when you drop it manually into the /system/app folder (for those that are unsure, they don't self install).

Rename file to read GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk before installing.

("black_color_", etc, text should be removed first)

As mentioned, verify that neither your apps nor Google Search is set to auto-update.

...and the one that caught me:

Go to the Market/Play Store find the "Google Search" app and remove it via the Market/Play store "Uninstall" button.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] iichrisphamii:
If you want to use the 4th google search bar, you can use NOVA launcher. you need android 4.0+ for the app though.

The search bar i have is actually a lot nicer. The search bar is not grayed out like the one you have. And it doesn't have a magnifying glass.

Cheers, changed format to MTZ, but didnt realise folders inside needed to be zipped too.

*edit*ok, some previews work, naming is obviously important*, zipped internal folders and it all seems to have not applied, hmmmmm, try again.

OK, helps if you zip all the right files properly. All working now.
[Android Themes] ericv99:
Make sure you zip the contents of the folders in your directory. Because when you zip the folder the compression app places it in it's own folder. Hence causing an extra folder.

Don't zip the preview folder though ok.

Don't you have any other miui themes you can dissect to see how it's formatef.

I've got a stupid noob question here that may have been asked hundreds of times over, however I really don't know the answer. I've found info pertaining to other devices, but not the Thunderbolt.

I am looking to root my phone, I know the process, I've studied it quite well. I happen to be one of those who have updated to 2.11.605.9. I am not worried about the downgrade procedure, but I would prefer to be able to backup my application data(I don't care about the actual app, I can redownload those) beforehand. Can this be done through ADB or something similar?

I've never really considered rooting my phone before now, so I apologize for my lack of knowledge on the subject.

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrothaJINC:
I believe u can not do this unless u are already rooted.... Which in that case you can use titainum backup.... Or u might be able to plug your phone into the computer and just drag over the file.... But that's depending on the file......
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvh11:
That's what it looked like after I did my searches, but I figured I should make sure.

Well, I really don't feel like downgrading at the moment, so is anybody working on some sort of solution right now? If not, could I use revolutionary after gaining temp root with the newer TacoRoot exploit that supposedly works on all HTC phones? I'd assume Revolutionary would still be able to set S-off and flash CWM, as the method of root doesn't seem to matter(as evidenced by the various methods revolutionary uses on different phones).

I'm on Hboot 1.04, if it matters.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nl3142:
You could use Tacoroot to run Titanium Backup and backup all of your apps and data and then just restore after getting S-off and permanent root. You will probably want to buy the Pro version of Titanium Backup anyway and the Pro key is not phone/rom specific (so no need to worry about "wasting" it).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvh11:
Before I run taco root and do the backup, do I need to install busybox or superuser so I can use titanium, or does it just work out of the box on a solution like this?

Also, I see that TacoRoot is unstable, but there isn't really a true definition of unstable listed. Can you explain of any bugs I may experience and how I may combat them?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr._Takahashi:
Tacoroot will only give temporary root access. The downgrade does not have to be permanent. You are doing it long enough to turn security off (S-off) and use Revolutionary. Then afterward you can install the latest stock ROM with root access. You get this off the internet. Not from Verizon. I mentioned this in my recent thread here. Use Titanium backup

after

you have Revolutionary on your phone before installing the latest ROM. ;)

Geek note: Root is the highest user in Linux. The words rooting or rooted are technically incorrect. Saying it as slang is fine. It can sometimes confuse people who have never been outside a Windows environment.

I was looking to see if I could use tacoroot to get temporary root to perform a backup, I was fully willing to downgrade after that, and probably flash a custom rom of sorts.

Also, I'm primarily a windows user(I'm a gamer), however I do know quite a bit about the world of linux. I just realized that I would use the term as it is in the android community.

That may help as well, if for whatever reason I cannot get titanium to work. I appreciate the advice. If it is not needed, it's some knowledge that I have gained that I previously did not possess. Learning is the most important thing, and sadly I haven't had much experience with ADB.

If there is one thing I can say, the android modding community appears to be a noob friendly group, it's so much friendlier than the Linux community was when I first started experimenting with it.

I have the Dandiest ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881937

I am using v4.31.44.12

It's my first rom flash, everything went fine and all.

The problem is that everything goes much too slow. Booting isn't an issue. but Everything regarding apps and calls and such just goes really slow.

When I get called, I can pick up. but I can't hang up because the phone just freezes.

Every app I install (which always takes roughly 3-5 minutes per app, after download) I have to constantly wipe the screen to keep it awake, if the screen sleeps during install, the phone completely freezes and I have to pull out the battery.

I wonder what is causing this, and if anyone has/had this problem before on a different ROM?

I have ext4 on my SD, shared storage or whatever it is called.

I have read some stuff about speeding that up or something, but I don't understand it.

I'm thinking it has to do with that. I installed/done everything following tutorials, so I should've done everything right.
