Have you tried wiping?

Can you boot into recovery?

Push and hold home button while powering on, while still holding home.

I would try a wipe, and then possibly reinstall a ROM at the same time
[HTC Sensation] sjaak1234:
Hi,

Yesterday I updated my phone with the official android 4.0 update. Some things work faster, for the most part things seem to have taken a turn for the worse. Never mind that all the menu's now show way more information than you need, more importantly it seems htc broke the mail and music player app.

The mail app seems to revert push mail settings to every 15 minutes by itself and also reset the amount of days of email it should download back to 3 days. Basically the mail app became a useless piece of crap. No more push mail and no more having all your emails. Way to go HTC.

The geniuses at HTC also decided that it'd be nice to **** up the music player. It used to work perfectly fine. Easy and fast to navigate with just your thumb and playing music worked like a charm.

Not anymore. Switching between artist, albums etc is a horror now. Drop down menu **** instead of just a bar at the bottom of your screen. Worst of all is that music playback isn't smooth anymore. Try to skip more than 2 songs by swiping the screen fast and **** hits the fan. Also instead of playing music until you stop at a song you want music now stops playing right away and gives a 'pop' every time a new song starts.

Basically we now got a bit faster home screen scrolling. All other things got ****ed up. Way to go HTC. How about maybe bothering doing some quality checks next time?
[HTC Sensation] Manuel Büchel:
Hi,

I was also annoyed about the Mail-app in ICS. At first I downgraded and wanted to wait until the official release was there. However, the official release didn't fix this issue, so I ended up searching for a fix for a very long time.

After all, I installed Aqua-Mail from the Market - it's free and you can set up IMAP-Push - it's working great without any issues.

Concerning the music player I'm using Real-Player - just give it a try!

Best regards

Manuel
[HTC Sensation] sjaak1234:
Wait, what? the bug was there in leaked versions and the ****ers didn't even bother to fix it?? How can you possibly release a broken email application? The mind boggels... Do you happen to know if they fixed it with sense 4.0? I'm thinking about rooting as soon as there is a way of rooting Hboot 1.27 and than upgrading to 4.0.

Thanks for the pointer about aquamail but I can't find it in the market for my device. Seems the dev didn't roll it out in my country yet.

I really wonder what the whole deal about ICS is. For me, it only made things worse. There is a very small gain in smoothness but you get broken basic applications and the whole messed up ICS menu option overkill.
[HTC Sensation] k0zmic:
My thoughts exactly.

I tried Sense 4.0 today and it seems fixed in that.
[HTC Sensation] ladyhaly:
The Music application issue is not with my phone, but the Mail app thing is. It's very annoying since I like to get my e-mails via Push Mail. I've been using the built-in Gmail app more and more because of it. Hope they either issue an update to fix the Mail thing or give us Sense 4.0--- though I suppose that would be too demanding since a lot of people with EVO3Ds and such are already complaining about Sensation and Sensation XE users getting the ICS + Sense 3.6 update first.

But seriously. I use the Mail app a lot. A whole lot. I hope they fix it.

Don't even think about it.

Hi guys, new member here.

Sorry for these questions but I am VERY new to Android. I have the Samsung Galaxy 2 with stock Android version, uprooted and locked to my phone company. I would like to update it but I have some concerns I would like to clear first.

1- Can I safely backup everything in case my phone company doesn't recognize my phone after the update?

2- Can I install ICS? My phone company doesn't have the update... Is there a "generic" ROM that I can use?

3- How easy would be to brick it?

If you guys have some links to some guides for the first 2 questions, that would be awesome.

Thanks a lot!
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] HollowSoulz:
Telling you the answers is too easy! You've got to take the time and read up on your specific device. The short answer you will get is yes you can backup your device the firmware is out there if you mess up. Just trust me when I say if you do diligence in your reading you will have the new OS in no time flat. Start with the forums that are relevant to your phone.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Theonew:
By the sound of things, it seems like you should not do any of that now. You should read up more before you even attempt any of those things.

N.B. - It is extremely easy to brick your device, especially when you do not know what you are doing.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] cagkanm:
1- There are ways to unlock your phone and I am sure you can find a the right guide to help you.

2- try reading this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1544487

3- my advice is NOT just read one thread... read couple and learn the exact ways of doing something before you actually do it because as long as you use the right information, you should be fine.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dkaratasos:
Hi,

I've been having problems with my root and superuser. I tried to install supersu also but was crashing every time. The superuser could not get the new su version and generally my A100 acted as not rooted. I tried to do the rooting process again and again with no luck. I downloaded the latest su version and tried the commands again.

Then it crossed my mind to remove the old su from xbin (since I got the new version) and give the commands. So I rm it but then I gave it a closer look and saw that the command did not copy the new su to xbin but was using the cat command. The commands I gave are

(The su version is supposed to be the latest one)

$ export PATH=/data/local/bin:$PATH

$ pwd

/

$ cd sdcard

$ /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`mount -o remount,rw /system`'

$ /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`cat /mnt/sdcard/su >/system/xbin/su`'

$ /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su`'

$ ls /system/xbin/su

/system/xbin/su

$ su --version

$ /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`mount -o remount,rw /system`'

$ /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`cat /mnt/sdcard/su >/system/xbin/su`'

$ /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su`'

$ ls /system/xbin/su

/system/xbin/su

$ su --version

$ /system/bin/cmdclient ec_micswitch '`chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su`'

$ ls /system/xbin/su

/system/xbin/su: No such file or directory

Now I have no su file... how can I restore it? Can anyone send me the su from their A100 (I guess it would be the same)

I can't understand why the rooting stopped. It use to work ok...maybe the interference of superuser and supersu caused this..

It happened after a restart...

Anyhow... how do I get my root back...? Any ideas...?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
SuperSu and Superuser both use different su binaries. Which one are you going to use (it's not wise to have both or else they are going to interfere with each other).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dkaratasos:
The superuser stopped responding but I couldn't uninstall it. The posts I've for the supersu said that it dike not matter whether you have superuser isntalled,so I installed it.

I would prefer supersu I guess... but at the moment anything would be just fine....

-rwsr-sr-x root root 22148 2012-04-01 01:45 su

If su is listed above with out errors and is bigger than 0 bytes... That's all folks!!

Now you need to install superuser and open it, then go to the wrench icon and tap it

Find the update area and tap it, tap update now to update the super user file that this script copied over earlier

Once its updated, install busybox from the market and your all set!

$

Both superuser and supersu could not gain root shell...

If you check the size of the su file in xbin now and initially you will see a big difference ...

Can someone upload their su file...? Isn't it the same...?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dkaratasos:
I opened the root.sh ...

It has the same commands as a script... it would not do anything different...

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
The only thing left to try is a factory reset (or update to ICS if you want to keep all your data) then re-root (that will work). In these cases, one would just flash superuser via recovery, but since you are on HC and have no custom recovery, that simple fix is not possible.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dkaratasos:
How about taking the su file from an other A100...? Even a non rooted A100.. won't that work...?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
A non-rooted device does not have a su binary. The su binary of a rooted one would be the same as the one here: http://goo-inside.me/superuser/su-bin-3.0.3.2-efghi-signed.zip (until there's an update at least :D).
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dkaratasos:
That confuses me.... but then why the rerooting process did not work,if there was not already a su file there...? And why the scripts use cat instead of the simple cp ...? Even more... why the size of the su I had before is different than the new one..? Are you sure there is no su file on a non rooted A100..?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dkaratasos:
I did it... I tried a few different su versions I had downloaded in the past and one worked... with superuser ... the supersu crashes....

I got rid of supersu and through superuser I updated the su file..it worked like a charm...

Thanx for your help...
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] Theonew:
1. Corruption.

2. That's the chosen "exploit".

3. SuperSu's su binary will be a different size than Superuser's su binary.

4. No non-rooted device has a su binary. The su binary allows root access (which a non-rooted device does not have). The rooting process places the su binary in a device.

Great.

P.S. - You should have said you still had SuperSu installed. :p
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] raphsabb:

Hi,

I'm facing a similar but slightly different problem and looking for some help. Here's the situation:

- I have a rooted galaxy s2 running CM7

- I recently deleted the su binary (why I did that is another story)

- I don't have SuperSU

How can I get root back?

Thanks!
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Try doing an advanced restore of system assuming you have a nandroid of that rom that's decently recent. Would also work for the a100 on ICS, but is dependant on having a nandroid of the current rom and is somewhat up to date. This will restore your busy box and super user and root. Don't restore system from another rom. Wipe cache and dalvik after restore. Other option, flash the rom directly over the current install, though I wouldn't suggest it.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aharol:
I'm a relative noob so let me restate to make sure I understand.

- do a reboot in recovery mode

- go to the .zip file of the current rom (CM7 --- the file I have is the latest) and run it

- AFTER that is done (and not before?), wipe the cache and dalvik cache

Is this correct. Any critical step that I'm missing?

Thanks
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
If you don't have a backup, then yes that's pretty much it, though I would backup before doing anything else. If it hits the fan you can at least restore back to how it is now. You can wipe before or after really, I just do it after in case random bits get in there. Doesn't matter much as long as it IS wiped.

And if you don't have a backup, get in the habit of making one before messing around in recovery or the system files or deleting random things. Root is powerful and dangerous.

Edit: getting off topic here, if you have any more questions about the phone feel free to PM.

Tapatalked from my Galaxy S II.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] aharol:
Thanks pio_masaki.

Completely agree on the importance of backup. I purchased Titanium Backup Pro just for that reason and have daily scheduled backup.

The problem is that while the backup was running successfully (and the files visible in the backup location), TB's batch menu would show '0' under the restore options. I reached out to TB's customer service to solve this problem and that's how I ended up deleting the su binary.

Will PM you after trying the restore. Thanks for your help.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] scoobiesnacks:
I find fonts are too big all over the Note, in particular on the Samsung email app and S-planner. They haven't really been optimised to make use of the Note's HD screen.

For instance the S-planner, in many calendar entries, only allows 7-8 characters per diary entry showing on screen at once, so words are cut off most of the time.

Even if you change the font settings to "tiny" in app settings, it makes little if any difference and a lot of headings fonts don't change at all.

On a more positive note, Internet surfing is ok, this does make full use of the HD screen and shrinks webpages to optimise to fit more stuff on the screen at once

Gmail's own app is sort of ok, if you alter to tiny font.

The Samsung email app and S-planner are very poor however, and haven't been optimised for a HD screen.

As for the email widget that manages to only display 4 emails but still use up half a HD screen....:mad:

It seems a very strange design decision to me. :(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] avetny:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
I'm using tablet mod and very happy with font size. Google and samsung email clients suck ass. Hundreds of other good email clients you can find at market. I like AquaMail, it has a very nice tablet interface.

I decided to make this thread an archive of different sound packs to be used by developers for their ROMs or anyone else who wants to add to, or replace the stock sounds that came on their phone.

All files are now in OGG format, not MP3. A big thanks to cellgeek for converting the BlackBerry sound files!!!

Disclaimer:

These are not flashable zips!

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Not that there should be any risk with dragging and dropping sound files but you never know. ;)

With that said, all you need to do is unzip the files and place them on your SD card. Make 3 folders...notifications, alarms, and ringtones in /media/audio and place the appropriate sound files where you want them.

Bon appétit!

Ok noob question. I extracted sound files to op locations. However they don't appear as options when trying to change notifications. How do I change this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Presbycusis:
1. Plug phone into computer (make sure phone drivers are installed)

2. Mount USB mass storage

3. Under Computer there will be two Removable Disks ( E: and F: )

4. Under Removable Disk ( F: ) there should be a folder called "media". If it does not exist then make it. There should be an "audio" folder inside media.

5. media/audio/ is where alarms, notifications, and ringtones folders should go (make sure the folder names are plural and spelled correctly)

If you follow these steps and you still do not see the sound files appear when you go to change tones on the ROM then the media folder may be on the wrong "Removable Disk".

Hope that helps.
