permissions manager that doesnt load as an app (aka block facebook from using gps, reading contacts, reading phone status, IMEI, etc).

I.E. LBE privacy guard loads once the phone boots, Pdroid would effectively block once the phone receives power and doesnt wait for the phone OS to start.

This stemmed from a fear that LBE privacy guard wasnt very honest, but I went back to it and used droidwall from allowing LBE to communicate any data.

Thanks for the heads up on LBE, after some more research. It scares me that it's written by a Chinese source, and isn't open sourced, their website doesn't even work. I'm too leary of the Chinese Gov sponsored hacking against US targets.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] troy00:
I am using Pdroid on Sky-ICE 7.4 in addition to LBE. So far, I have have no problems running both on this ROM.

Also, whenever I flash a new ROM, I use Pdoid.

However, I have a T989...but I would assume it would work just as well on on an I727.

My method (when installing a new ROM):

1) Open PdroidPatcher.exe on Windows

2) Select a ROM of your choice (Pdroid prompts you for the file)

3) Patch

4) Copy both the original ROM and the Pdroid generated .zip file to your SD

5) Reboot into CWM

6) *** BACKUP ***

7) Wipe (I use darkside's superwipe)

8) Install ROM from SD card

9) I let the ROM boot up and then reboot again into CWM

10) Install Pdroid generated .zip file

11) Reboot and make sure you install the Pdoid app from the market (play store)

12) Enjoy!

It really isn't that complicated - but if it doesn't work for you, don't blame me :)

I'm having a problem with ClockworkMod Rom Manager. I had to send my phone back several months ago and was able to back up my ROM without too much trouble. Now, however, I'm getting stuck.

When I run Rom Manager, if I click Manage and Restore Backups I get a blank screen - nothing.

If I choose Backup Current ROM or Reboot Into Recovery the phone reboots, then hangs with an exclamation mark in a triangle and the little Android dude. It will sit this way for hours. Can anyone help here? I need to get this phone shipped off but I want to be sure I have a backup first.

I'm on an LG G2x.
[General Questions and Answers] SithLord2K:
I had a similar problem on my previous phone. HTC Magic+ From Rogers. This was caused by it no longer having the CWM Recovery installed. Try reflashing the recovery and see if you still have that problem.
[General Questions and Answers] Ethan5150:
Problem solved! Muchas gracias!
[General Questions and Answers] alperkurucu:
full reset and re install
[General Questions and Answers] Ethan5150:
Ok, well I was able to boot to the recovery console but I get: Error while making a backup of /data!

How concerned should I be with this? Anyone know why this might have occurred?

***UPDATE***

Nevermind - I got it to work. Just kept trying and it finally went through. Seems like CWM is a little finicky... whatever - phone gets shipped tomorrow.

Thanks folks!

My wife has the Nook Android App. installed in her Acer tablet but when she reads for 3-4 hours the battery is dead, I thought if the background was black and the text white it would help conserve the battery, Does anyone know if this can be done and how to do it. Thanks.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] littleemp:
Lowering brightness.

I use Aldiko on Lowest brightness setting and I can read my ebooks for 6+ Hours with WiFi on. (In fact, extrapolating from BetterBatteryStats stats, I could conceivably do 7+ hours with WiFi off on a full charge)
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] smokie11:
Thank you very much, Aldiko is an excellent reader! and it does exactly what I was looking for, it inverts black/white text & background. Figuring out how to import my wife's Barnes & Nobles library was a little more work but I did some research and found out how to do it.

Thanks again!

I think a white case would be awesome. The problem is I have to have a case. I am accident prone and my kids drop my phone when they play games. So, the color of the case is what I have to settle with.

Seriously, how many people sport these phones without cases?

BTW, what is an "advanced exchange"? How do you get one?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Bear gri11z:
this is my Case (clearish red and also have a blue one)

Advanced exchange is normally when you bring a phone into a "reAl" sprint service center (some 3rd party service centers will avoid exchanges at all costs) and they cant fix the problems your phone is having...

They can do it over the phone if you are 50 mile or more away from a sprint service center... Or if a 3rd party store refuses to replace/help you (over the phone is alot harder now because people abused it)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered my advanced exchange for the white one!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FlowingAway:
So you guys are somehow getting white E4GT in place of your black ones through advanced exchage? Is there something wrong with your current black one? Or you're just being sneaky and getting a white one? Really wish someone would explain what's happening here.

This would be cool. Although instead of paint, I'd rather use the OEM parts. However, google let me down looking for any of the white parts.

Pffff cases are for girls. Just dropped my phone off the back of a flatbed today. Landed on concrete right on the corner and smashed it in good. So good it bent a small bit over the glass. This is probably the 5th or 6th time I've done this. It's starting to look really rugged. I don't even hold my breath anymore when I drop it. I look around at all the people gasping and just laugh as I pick up the battery, cover and phone, which usually all separate and the nd up several feet from each other. I think it's like the baseball helmets that are made of two pieces and use the impact force to break apart.

advance exchange is exchanging your device either under warranty or TEP but i think if its under warranty and you dont have TEP its still 35$ (still in my 90 days, forgive me)

I also want to know.. I been wanting a white one for my black. Can i just tell them I want go exchange or do i gotta BS them?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MikeC84:
Do you guys even read before you post :confused::rolleyes:

The answer is right above your post! The OP did not just have his phone replaced for no reason. There obviously has to be something wrong with the device to warrant a replacement. When that time comes, ie: OP, then ask for a white one as a replacement instead of a black one.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] FlowingAway:
MikeC84, you're joking right? Of course I read it all, I read it multiple times actually. Not once does the OP say "my phone was messed up, so I am having it replaced and I am getting a white one."

The thread is titled "Want a white E4GT?" and just says he got one through the advanced exchange, and "Hope you all get one!"

Sprint has been known to be ridiculously gullible in the past, I thought maybe something like that was going on and people were scoring White ones through the advanced exchange. OP never stated whether his phone was messed up or not.

Carry on.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kurtiskobain:
in order to get an advance exchange, you need to be having an issue with your device that the instore tech cannot fix.

the biggest issues ive been seeing floating around are after the latest 3d update, peoples digi's have been on the fritz;doesnt register touch, ghost touching, constant lag, even with a screen replacement it continues;ive been going over my AE budget for 2 months because of this....thanks htc!

seeing as how i work for sprint, i didnt really need to have an issue to order mine and my fathers white replacement, but we'll keep that between you and me, right?

therein lies my secret. I am Lead Sales at a nameless Sprint Preferred Retailer with an Authorized Service Center. was trying not to spell it out... and it appears only a couple of you understood it this way... you will have to find your own creative methods for getting yours AE'd for a white one.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] elliwigy:
An advance exchange is an option for replacement of smartphones if there is a software/hardware malfunction and troubleshooting cant fix the phone. Like phone constantly freezing, fails to turn on, screen doesnt work.. Even a cracked screen can be considered a hardware malfunction which would warrant an AE. And they are just asking for a white one instead.

The white parts are hard to find and they are slippery i have an airbrush so some good quality flat or satin white enamel paint and the rubner touch additive and it would be both cheaper and add some grip to it plus the oem parts dont come in flat maybe id do flat/ satin black with a glossy white and add the rubber touch on the white battery door and in tge flat black housing and cut a stormtrooper helmet stencil and spray it in black on the white battery cover *shrugs*

FYI I just ordered a new phone through Asurion and they don't have white in stock. Wonder if I can take the replacement to a store and switch out? Every store in San Diego wouldn't fix my cracked screen due to inventory issues. So I don't think that cracked screens work for hardware malfunctions AE's.

ps Sprint tech just confirmed that AEs can only be done with the same model and the white phone is a different model than the black.http://media.xda-developers.com/images/icons/icon13.gif

thats because they dont want to go over their AE quota. if news gets out to EVERYONE, people would have all SORTS of ''problems''. i shared this because this community has been so good to me. please dont come to MY thread and refute MY experience.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] andresmalvarez:
just checked the info with my model. the white is available for advanced exchange. and yes, techs have a certain amount they are allowed to exchange monthly. so, unless you want to be that asshole and demand a white one because your current black phone is "power cycling," make friends with a tech, be patient, and ask extremely nicely. some still won't do it though, so feel out the situation before you make that move.
