Hi,

Can android OS start/ run/ boot automatically when the charger is connected? Can the android boot up instead of showing the battery charging screen?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
I always just boot the OS up while the charging screen is showing. Most devices will let you hold the power button in while the charging screen is up and it will switch to booting. Some advise against this but I've been doing this for years on WM PDA phones, basic feature phones, and now Android devices and have never had an issue.

Auto start android - schedule on/ off

Hi,

I found this feature in settings of my Spice MI 270. This is similar to NoMoarPowah. It turns on/ off the phone at a scheduled time so that you can easily use the alarm even when the phone is switch off.

I flashed it onto my phone but it kept boot looping. im now going to try flashing it through mobile odin as the computer version caused the boot loop.

[HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G] threshold350:
To keep a long story short, HTC decided to mess the root on my nephew's HTC View after getting the charging port fixed. I intalled the HC RUU from globatron's sticky (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1409306). The system boots up. My problem is the recovery. The HBOOT screen still says Revolutionary and the HBOOT version is 6.14.5555.

I'm trying not to brick this thing so I want to make sure I don't install something from the other threads because I was missing something else.

What is the easiest way to get CWM installed? I saw a thread about using ROM Manager to get CWM installed, but there was somewhat a debate whether or not that was the best method.

Sorry for the noob question, but still a little green when trying to resolve issues like this.

Thanks,

Ryan.

EDIT: Wow, a lot of lookers, but no answers. Doing some research, it seems that installing the recovery image through fastboot is the answer? Is there anything I'm missing. The tablet has S-OFF & Revolutionary. Can't seem to get superuser installed since I need a recovery to flash it (right???). Would running the Revolutionary tool solve my problems?

If I flash a zip on my phone and I don't like it or it doesn't work, is there anyway I can just remove with out reflashing
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] zaelia:
That is why you make a nandroid backup. You can't just undo flashing something
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
Only way to uninstall zips is to plug your phone into your computer and find the zip file and hit delete but it is best to always check the ROM out before you back it up get it set up the way you like then back it up but always back up your stock ROM that way you can go back to it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xcrazydx:
That doesn't uninstall anything, it just deletes it off your sd card. Like the other guy said, Do a nandroid before you flash anything because flashes can't be undone. you can flash over it but you can't undo a flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
That's basically what I was saying
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jacoballen22:
Not even lol. Deleting the .zip file is the file itself, it's already flashed to the phone. You could boot with no SD and still have your.zip flashed. Basically, you have to reflash the rom if you don't have a backup.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
Haha that's nothing like u were saying bro lmao

@OP

Open the zip,

find the files it modifies inside system folder

Open ur roms zip file with 7z or similar

Find the needed files

Replace into zip overwriting with the originals ofc, follow the layout.

Put on SD

boot to CWM

Disable signatures

Flash zip

Clear cache/fix permissions if necessary, you haven't described what your flashing..

Reboot.

Done.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
But if you don't make a backup of it and restore it's still on there?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doug36:
If it ads files then yes technicly but by replacing the main files it wont be initiating only as the otigionals.. u can delete extras with a delete command in updater-script..

And yet again u didn't specify what you were "restoring"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] peppersu812:
Guess I need to be more specific lmao
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RealPariah:
Yes you can remove by deleting apk just like copying apk will install (as long as it is folder you have write access to and you restart the phone).

Also keeping a copy of any apk will allow reinstall later just enable non market sources in settings use file browser select apk for install while running OS and it does not require a restart to use the app by the way). You have to use app such as titanium backup to backup your apps settings and data though.

You can also un/install using adb

Adb install blah.apk

(Google for options)

As well. Just like if you copy apks in to a ROM zip (right directories don't just drop in root; Google if needed) before flash they will also install when ROM zip is flashed (may need to re-sign but these days that usually is not required).

Hi.

I've come across a rather serious problem with my device. I noticed the issue a few hours ago, but suspect it has started since this morning (it's 12AM local time, at the time of writing).

A bit of context:

Does anybody know what's happening here? I think it might either be something with the low-level software or a port it the microUSB slot has puffin guano in it.

Thanks in advance. :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adeklipse:
Bumping with update:

Turns out USB charging was fine.

But now it seems that the device will come in and out of charging; connected for less than a second, then disconnected, then connected again. As though it's indecisive whether it should charge or not.

When plugged to my laptop, it will sound a chime indicating that it has been connected, followed by another chime of disconnection.

What in the glorious fuddydoodle is happening to the phone? What should I do?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] arvylas:
I see you use glados 1.23 so maybe you have a problem with fast charge. Try 1.22

Yea, I was kinda figured fast charging had something to do with that, but hadn't had the time for flashing a new kernel.

[Gen9, Gen10 General] surdu_petru:
Hi !

If you want you can downgrade to Honeycomb ....after install Root ICS version , you need to copy archos.ext4.update into your device and into SDE recovery copy zImage and initramfs appropriate ..ext4.update ...now you can install Original Archos Firmware .aos appropiate your version of downgrade !

Good luck !
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
I'm not so sure, recover ydid change in ICS.

But you should be able to run Honeycomb- rename 3.2.x initramfs.cpio.gz to initramfs.cpio.lzo (ICS recovery requires initramfs to be named initramfs.cpio.lzo, content is the same)

4. Rename initramfs.cpio.gz to initramf.cpio.LZO

5. Boot to Recovery

6. Select Reset Android (I don't think that ICS files will suit for Honeycomb)

7. Select Flash Kernel (use zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo)

8. Reboot and enjoy ;)

[Gen9, Gen10 General] stapbeest:
I have tried it as your tutorial but everytime i get not futher than de archos boot logo and with custom rom a bootloop this is wat i do

reformated device

install original firmware

then root and install sde and unistall pauls root

copy ics root ext4 update to internal storage

reboot in sde

select recovery system

format system

reset android

then go back to developer and install kernel

reboot to original firmware (because he dont let you direct boot in developer)

shut down en in sde select developer edition

then al the same with a 3.2.80 root

then nothing only bootscreen i have waited half een hour

what i am doing wrong most i also delete android kernel?
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Vicente:
This procedure works for me.... I'm with HoneyComb again

1. Download custom/rooted Honeycomb firmware

2. Extract files on pc

3. Copy archos.ext4.update (524.288 KB) to storage

4. Rename initramfs.cpio.gz to initramf.cpio.LZO

5. Boot to Recovery

6. Select Reset Android

7. Select Flash Kernel (use zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo)

8.- Reboot and enjoy ;)------ You must reboot in developer mode.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] stapbeest:
After installing kernel i can only choose reboot in sde so he first boots normal android or is there a trick to direct reboot in developer or a button combo for that
[Gen9, Gen10 General] Vicente:
- Why uninstall pauls root?...... You must be root for this procedure.

1.- Install SDE Developer (Pauls Root)

2.- Reformat Device

3.- Install ICS (official)

4.- Copy to data/media archos.ext4.update to storage (Surdu Petru, 5xx.xx KB)

5.- Reboot in Recovery

6.- Select Reset Android

7.- Select Flash Kernel (use zImage and initramfs.cpio.lzo, remember rename initramfs.cpio.gz to initramfs.cpio.lzo )

8.- Reboot as Developer edition

Optional.....For permanent Root, in second reboot delete kernel

Good luck
[Gen9, Gen10 General] stapbeest:
After installing kernel i can only choose press on/off button to reboot and then the device reboot only in original firmware i cant choose reboot in developer mode or most i press de volume up and power down to go direct back in sde or is there another way.
[Gen9, Gen10 General] gen_scheisskopf:
In Developer Edition menu choose Remove android kernel- device will boot only to SDE (official firmware will not be accessible until you flash .aos update again)

A: First of all, you need to have root access on your device. If you know how to use adb, please follow the following instructions:

adb remount

adb push ApexLauncher.apk /system/app

Or you may also move the APK file to the /system/app directory manually. Make sure you set the file permission properly. Please reboot your device if the in-drawer widgets feature does not work. To uninstall, please remove ApexLauncher.apk from /system/app manually.

Open titanium and look for your updated apps they will have an (updated) in brackets next to it

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] webeestie:
I've seen problems with vcards of all sorts when going from brand to brand and OS to OS. It's very common. Try receiving an Iphone one on another device to see the trouble.

Manufacturers seem to love to tweak the formatting of them just enough to make them unrecognisable to other manufacturers etc.

Most manufacturers don't see it as being of great importance, since the vcard has basically been superseded by the advent of the better and more flexible text messaging systems these days. Why use an out dated vcard when you can send a person's full business card in a easy read universal text format that android will automatically format into fields for U?

They can laugh, but it's them using antique methods that is funny.

To get around this, there may be a vcard app in the market, or you could try the excellent GoSMS Pro, which might handle it, but good luck, the old system often does cause problems.

Next time they laugh, hold on a contact on your device, press share, send them a contact by sms and see if they really think yours is the problem.
