[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flanimal:
I selected uninstall for Google Play Books and it reverted to just Google Books instead of actually uninstalling.

So I considered disabling this built-in app, but I read the warning that it might affect the operation of other apps, such as google play.

So I fired up google play and saw that the option was there to upgrade back to Google Play Books. But on attempting to do this, I get the following error every time:

Error

Your order is procesing. Your item will be available in a few minutes.

Starting download...

But the download never actually starts.

Can anyone help me re-install it? Or is it perfectly compatible to disable Google Books. Kindle is my preferred book app after all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] babymatteo:
Do you have CWM installed? try wiping cache and dalvik cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flanimal:
I'm entirely stock, and don't have CWM installed.

I tried wiping the cache for both Play marketplace and google (play) books, and rebooted, but even after that the update still doesn't work for Google Play Books.

If a solution doesn't come up, then I can just disable Books. But it will leave a lasting niggle in my head which can only be resolved by a factory reset! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Flanimal:
The new Android 4.0.4 OTA update resolved this problem for me:-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinallen4325:
ive read the thread in the general forum for noobs.

but i still dont quite understand all these things and what purpose they serve.

im SUPER new with all this stuff. so my apologies.

could someone help a brother out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
what is your question specifically?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinallen4325:
just curious about what they are and do basically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] BigBison420:
I'll try and help.

First you must ROOT your phone. This basically grants you access/permission to FIDDLE with a lot of things you can't normally. I use the word *fiddle* loosley, meaning you can install root tools (like overclock) custom Roms, change system settings, flash themes... the list goes on. It's kind of like the equivalent to "jailbreaking"

Rooting is the "first and foremost"... basically do this first. and all other things follow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Well the sticky in the main forum really is a good place to start, as all these terms are defined there:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1483113

As well as step-by-step instructions how to root. That should get you started!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinallen4325:
ok so root first. got it. would any of this benefit my phone in anyway? or is it mainly just to put custom themes and such on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
It is much more than that. I wrote this out before, so I will copy it again:

People have problems when rooted because they are not careful or do not know what they are doing. Rooting gives you (to put in Windows terms) full Administrator rights to your phone. With this right comes responsibility, so you must be careful and do research. This is why rooting also voids the warranty. The phone is now open for the user to do whatever they want, and circumvent any restrictions put on the phone by the manufacturer (including those in place to prevent harm to the device). But like a computer with Admin rights, rooting allows you to install any application, any "OS theme", and tweak the hardware to do what YOU want with it, not what the manufacturer wants.

So please be sure to READ READ READ all you can before you start!!! You don't want a $600 phone coaster. Just browse the forums for a couple weeks and learn from the posts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tbran:
It depends what you consider a benefit. Sure..theming can be a benefit, but rooting provides the gateway to address any negative or less than ideal aspects of a device. For instance, The Note has been perceived as being somewhat laggy. So rooting allows you to free up system resources by eliminating unneeded bloatware that you can't remove if you remain stock. Also the lagginess has been addressed by overclocking, modding and building kernels that do specific things and of course making custom roms. The Note is still very early in the developmental process, so many things to improve the user experience of the device will become available over the course of time....but it all starts with being rooted.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] tjw345:
Android isn't like iOS. I had an iPhone for four years before my Note and I know where you coming from. What the other guy was saying is that rooting can be viewed similar to jailbreaking, but it is kind of completely different. You don't need to be rooted to use themes (or most of the stuff on Cydia). Rooting allows you to back up apps, flash custom ROMs, etc. Otherwise, you most likely don't need root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinallen4325:
if i were to root it and do whatever else would that affect the notes ability to update itself when the time comes?

like if i were to put some custom rom or whatever on it and lets say ics came out (lulz) would it still be able to update to it, and would it basically remove everything i did to it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jpeg42:
Trust me, if you go the root and custom rom way, you will never install an official update. not because you can't, but because it will be leaked and debloated months before it is official.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kevinallen4325:
i installed saurom. with and ics theme. i like it alot. but i cant get into setcpu or any program that requires root access. which is kind of an issue. no one else seems to be having that as an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] lindenhurst:
I rooted my Note a couple days ago and am still trying to figure out the benefits of doing so. I guess just spend time reading through this forum for the answers. That's what I am doing, but so far I see no benefit at all. The phone does all I want it to do so far. Maybe I am missing something.

Also, When i run quadrant, the scores are consistently lower after rooting the device then they were before. Not sure why though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] GuestX0019:
You are correct that the Note and newer phones may need no help. Not like two years ago. But, the big advantage to rooting even if you don't want to flash roms is Titanium Backup for app mgt and nandroids or full image backups--imho. The other like mentioned is earlier os releases. I have had ICS on my N1 for quite awhile and is still not on most new phones.

If you are sure you are rooted, a dialog box with a little Android head wearing an eyepatch will pop up asking if you want to allow the application to have root access. You must allow it here.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] nyijedi:
I've noticed something very peculiar. At home, when my Prime sits overnight, I lose about 12% in 8 hours. While I'm at work, I only lose about 2% in 8 hours. The only difference between these two locations is that the Prime is on a different WiFi network (obviously), so I'm thinking the issue is related to WiFi. But what could cause this? At home, my Prime is in the same room as the router and is only a few feet away from it. At work, where the battery drain is much less, the Prime is actually further from the router. Any ideas?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] wynand32:
I have the opposite situation. My Prime loses consistently about .3%/hour at home, but between .5%-1%/hour at work. I do think it's related to something about the network, but I have no idea what it could be.

Hi,

A long story which went from bad to worse to better but no network connection.

My mob bricked after an error occurred during running a recovery restore after flashing a Rom and going back to my stable cm7.

I have finally got mob working again after running ruu to return to stock Rom. WiFi works, can access SD, but no network connection and no longer rooted :(

Any ideas how to fix network problem?

[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
I installed Hellfire Phoenix V2.0 p999 a few days ago and ever since the battery meter has been doing weird stuff. One minute I look and it will be at 67% and then the next it will be down to 19%. Just yesterday I plugged it in at 92%, after I plugged it in it read 83% so I unplugged it and back to 92% it went! I know its not my battery because I have had plenty of different ROMs on this and the battery percentage never gave me a problem before. If anyone could help it would be much appreciated. Thanks
[T-Mobile LG G2x] JTFNNO:
That's because you're probably using Faux's DS kernel. Flash another kernel.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
Its not the rom but the debouched sloth kernel(ds kernel) its supposedly gives an extra 5% juice but very funky battery readings. As long as you charge the phone fully and drain it til its nearly complete ( around 2-5%) you can avoid these readings, course as soon as u charge it again it will jump to 78% again lol

Its probaly better you just stick with just the cm kernels when using faux, or try out instead morfics excellent cm7 kernels!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ctowne:
The kernal that I am using is 2.6.32.56-CM7-Faux123-049 if that helps
[T-Mobile LG G2x] d12unk13astard:
There are 2 versions of each faux kernel, ds/cm...

make sure you flash the cm one for best stability accurate battery readings.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] le66450146:
btw if you don't mind the funky battery reading you can just stick to DS kernel, it gives you more juice, the amount varies between phones (not all phones are the same)
[T-Mobile LG G2x] 8point6:
Here's some facts that faux states outright in his kernel post:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1073626

Hope this helps, I'd agree if you were to flash with CM kernel you would be fine -- if you care more about knowing when it's going to die or it lasting just a little more than it's supposed to.
[Kindle Fire General] Tri4x:
I have the Energy ICS rom installed right now and don't like it at all, its just not that stable, on the other hand I don't like the carousel concept. I would like to install something close to stock that isn't going to run my battery dead real fast and the best compatibility with the Kindle Fire's hardware. There are just so many different ones out there, it doesn't have to be ICS, Honeycomb is fine. I was just hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction. Thanks :-)

[Kindle Fire General] Siiig:
Tri4x, out of curiosity were you using the 3/15 version of Energy or the 3/19? I flashed 3/15 on my kindle, and I loved the interface, but once it started getting sleep of death I thought "well I guess I'm going back to stock".

When I saw the 3/19 update in action I was actually really impressed at the improvement. Lack of HW Accel does suck though.

b63 Already suggested MoDaCo if you would prefer a stock rom, I've considered flashing back just to get HW Accel back. It's a really good rom, feels very smooth.
[Kindle Fire General] Kyle Hyde:
I'm sorry but what is HW UI Acceleration ?

Don't really understand that....

Thank for explain it to me.
[Kindle Fire General] akarpov:
No HWA means no Netflix, no YouTube HD, no 720p video.

IMHO better for now to use CM7.
[Kindle Fire General] acax456:
Cm7 is the best ever
[Kindle Fire General] akarpov:
If you want to be close to stock, install root and some launcher.

May be Go Launcher HD. You still be on stock but you will have limitation with Android Market and language of user interface, 3th party keyboard and tts, and thousands of other things.

[Kindle Fire General] jask0:
I'm on the same and am loving it. I have it themed as ICS also. I can wait.
[Kindle Fire General] Regionativo:
I've been using Energy ROM for about a week and not a single time have I thought about going back to stock, not even due to lack of HWA (yes, I miss netflix from time to time, but since I don't really watch that much TV/Movies on the go I guess is just a particular case where I am not that much affected) plus since changing to ICS I find myself using more my KF as a real tablet and not just a glorified e-reader.

Using 3/19 release of Energy and not seeing a lot of issues others are reporting (SOD only a couple of times)

Just my 2 cents
[Kindle Fire General] irezumi23:
Hi all!

After reading around and searching for custom roms for the KF, I still do not completely get to the point. This is what I understand

- Stock ROM mods only play around with some installed apps, google market, root

- CM7 is Gingerbread and supports HWA

- Energy CM9 is based on ICS and lacks HWA support (currently on my KF)

What I don't understand is, why CM9 cannot use the kernel from CM7 or Stock.

Does ICS rely on certain kernel features? Or what is the reason?

Thanks.

P.S. If this is an RTFM in any way I'd appreciate being directed to the right point.

I'll put ashes on my hair myself, than.

The second I know. But I could not find out why it is so important to use a newer kernel.

The first link sheds some light. I'll dig deeper which parts of the Android framework are responsible for the userland <-> kernel connection and how they are "version" (GB / ICS) relevant.

Thank you for the links. I did my first Linux port for a custom ARM HW 13 years ago. Russel would never send links. Got flamed more than once ;-)

[Streak 5 Accessories] warboat:
earphones if you can stretch the budget a lil

If you don't need a mic and remote button, I recommend Klipsch Image S4 earphones. They are the best sound quality for under $150.

There is also the s4i with mic and remote for iphone, dunno if it'll work with streak as I think iphone headsets are a bit different.

I also have Klipsch Reference S4 (same shape as image but has copper trim instead of silver) which uses same speaker driver as Image S4 but it doesn't sound exactly the same. Ref s4 sounds a little bit more bass and less midrange and treble compared to Image s4. I think the housing is tuned differently and more bass heavy.

I prefer the Image S4 more balanced response.
