First, boot into recovery. Not sure how it works on the sgs2 because I'm running an Incredible 2, but it should be by holding the power and volume buttons if you can't get there from ROM manager.

Second, wipe data/factory reset.

Third, wipe cache partition.

Fourth, advanced/wipe dalvik cache.

Fifth, mounts and storage/format system.

Sixth, install zip from sd card.

Seventh, install gapps if it isn't in the ROM.

Eighth, reboot.

[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFrozen:
So I recently got a Xoom and would like to root it. I can easily search through forums and follow instructions, but I want to be sure on what I have to do. I've rooted and flashed several Android devices already, so I'm no newbie, but once I bricked an Atrix so since then I've always been super cautious.

So now.. how do I root and install CWM on the Xoom? It's on 4.0.4 OTA.

Do I have to unlock the bootloader first?

Specific references to threads and step by step instructions preferred. Thank you!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] okantomi:
Yes, you will have to unlock first. There's a bit to set up first, but if you read the instructions and get everything you need set up in one place it's pretty easy. Also, it's actually hard to really brick a Xoom. A few have managed but it's not easy.

Try this guide...everything should still work fine, and it explains a lot

Hello Everyone im new to the boards here

I'm Trying to root my Friends Xoom for him. He told me he already started the process and unlocked stuff but cant flash anything or succesfully root. I dont know what he actually did and to be honest neither does he..... * put a gun in my mouth haha*

So my question is can i just follow the guide posted and start from the very first step and redo everything and still be ok ?? He has it updated to OTA ICS 4.0.4 I found several guides for 4.0.3 but im not sure if those instructions would still work if anyone could clarify this for me i'd greatly appreciate it
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFrozen:
Ah, thanks, it worked :)

I also had a problem after unlocking. It unlocked fine, but then I couldn't flash CWM through fastboot. My problem was the Application Variable thing, I assume. What I did was go to the platform tools folder (which for me was C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools ). I held shift and right clicked Platform Tools, then pressed "open command window here" and then I flashed CWM through fastboot in that window. Just make sure the CWM image is in the Platform Tools folder, along with fastboot.exe.

If you have any issues with that, PM me and I'll try to help.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dooms87:
omg Frozen thank you so most for that post i literally had the same problem CWM would not flash till i did exactly what you said in the last post thank you soo much greatly appreciated :D
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heartspeace:
There is one VERY important piece that is left out of most threads.

The newest Xooms that were release overwrite CWM files upon reboot unless you take specific steps to make sure it doesn't... e.g.

have the update.zip you want to use preloaded on the sdcard via pc

or

use a usb with a otg and a version of CWM that can apply update.zip from the USB drive.

Also beware of threads that dont mention what version of the OS they are for. For example its very easy to root your device, but it be on an on 3.x OS and then the OS will update it to 4.04 on the next boot cycle, and wont give you a chance to pick your ROM update. As a result your device is not rooted at this point, and CWM is not installed because you didnt have root in time to move these files:

adb shell mv /system/recovery-from-boot.p.old /system/recovery-from-boot.p

adb shell mv /system/etc/install-recovery.sh.old /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

while in root.

Really sucks.

So in a nutshell those with the latest Xoom tablets that were released, must make sure you find a update.zip that is compatible with ICS 4.04 and then get it to your SDCARD or USB Drive via any method possible - and then flash the right CWM that supports what you want to do, then catch that as it reboots the very first time but pushing the down button and then up button of the volume controls, and then you can install the root (update.zip).... then if all is well you will be able to boot normally, and then go back and get into CWM and install the ROM of your delight.

Experts feel free to chime in so I don't mislead anyone. I wouldn't follow the above advice until an expert puts their AOK on it.

i want to edit Quickpic's default icon and also the application name. i want to make it my default photo viewer instead of gallery3d. so can anyone help ??

In short i want to change the name and icon of Quickpic so that if i open my app drawer it should show Gallery instead of quickpic...

sorry for poor english :P
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
Decompile with apktool, go to res > drawable folder and replace the quickpic icon with the gallery one. It should be named icon.png or ic_launcher.png. Remember to keep the same name.

Next, go to res > values and open the strings.xml with notepad++.

Change this:

<string name="app_name">Quickpic</string>

into this:

<string name="app_name">Gallery</string>

Save, compile with apktool and install on your phone (remove the old one).

EDIT: Gonna try myself. If I make it I will post it here.

Is it just me or the Play Store doesnt show my purchased (but not installed) apps? It used to be on the bottom of the list. If I swipe right in my installed list I can view all but it also shows apps I've viewed or installed previous including free ones so its a very long list and is not categorized.

Is there anyway to get my paid uninstalled apps on the bottom again? I assume this is a google play bug

FIXED: Member mgf8384 sent me a PM and told me that he had the same issue and uninstalled google play updates and found an old Market app. Installed it and was able to see them again. He also mentioned he contacted google and they are aware of the issue.

So depending if you have custom rom that has current play store or not. In my case I'm using ZR3D 1.6 and after I uninstalled Google Play updates and reopened market, I was able to see them again. Thanks again to mgf8384 for pointing this out!

[HTC EVO 3D] Spl4tt:
i got the same prob now too.

getting this overview of all my purchased and installed apps was one of the main points why i bought apps.

if google eliminates this page, it also eliminates my motivation to buy apps too.

i uninstalled those play updates now too, and now i'm back to the old android market. the three categories "Updates", "Installed" and "Not Installed" are back, and i'm happy again..

i hope google will fix this, and not force us to use that new "my apps" page...

EDIT: well ****! after a minute it automaticaly updated back to google play, and the page now is the same crap again!

seems like i'm not going to buy any app again.. :/
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Noticed that too. So I have to keep uninstalling the updates. I think the permanent fix is to downgrade to old market. All my tablets with Google play exhibit the same issue.

is google play still in beta or what? Oo

[HTC EVO 3D] meatgel:
If you are in the "My Apps" page in the app, slide the page to the left and you will see "ALL" and there is a list of all of your apps that you ever installed, including the purchased one. My purchased, but uninstalled apps are at the bottom of that list. I do have the latest Play Store on my phone.
[HTC EVO 3D] aznmode:
Ya but those are all mixed together( installed, purchased, and free) and not categorized so its hard to weed out the purchased ones only since they're in random spots.

Sometimes takes it a few minutes to pop up afterwards.

it used to be perfect, but this time google ****ed it up
[HTC EVO 3D] mgf8384:
Apps!

I had this problem with my phone also. What i did was uninstalled updates which sent my phone back to the original market. this worked. When i flashed another custom ROM this problem happened again, so then i searched for a thread to download an older version of android market and then installed it. Before you continue any updates to the current version of play store, go to your purchased apps and redownload them. This is a bug on Googles side. I emailed them a couple weeks ago and they said they were aware and were working on it. Let me know if this helped at all.
[HTC EVO 3D] shizkoff777:
This is what you do delete the updater APk using titanium. Back up .delete Google play now download. This market. And your all fixed repeat whenever's. Necessary .

Hello All, I want to share my experience with my FT101 that developed a white streak in the middle of the screen just after 7 months I bought it. After a few email I sent it in for an RMA...after staying in "waiting for customer confirmation..." for days (I had to email support a few times to know why) now I am told it is screen Mura and not covered by warranty (by the way still not a call to know what to do). Now the unit has been used very little, a few hours a week, always in leather or padded case most of the times docked. It hasn't got a single scratch (I took pics while boxing it for the RMA), never used in the heath (i live in Dublin...), dropped, banged, etc. And now I have to hear that this is normal and not related to the quality of the LCD??? Come on I bought this last July!!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CheyenneDonna:
Since the causes of Mura are diverse

There are many manifestations of the Mura condition and the causes are quite diverse. For instance, color Mura (white or yellow, strips) is known as an irregular color distribution. Several possible causes of Mura are:

Impurities or foreign particles in the crystal matrix

Uneven distribution of LCD matrix during manufacturing

Non-uniform luminance distribution of the backlight

Panel assembly induced stress

Flaws in the LCD cells

Thermal induced stress - high temperature operation over long periods of time

and the ASUS warranty covers defective parts http://service.asus.com/Warranty.aspx

I would dispute their decision and escalate the support request.

the escalation box can be reached from 8. Good luck.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chirrindulari:
Dear members.

I have an external GPS receiver configured into OziExplorer. Also I have an handsfree configured.

If I am in my car testing the GPS with OziExplorer and power off the HD2 (I mean, the lower right button wich turns off the screen, not a complete shut down) the track is never lost, the pairing between HD2 and GPS is not broken, and after powering on the HD2, I do not need to configure nothing at all.:)

This happens into my car, I suposse that it is due to the fact that my car has the hansfree active and the HD2 never switch off the Bluetooth module.

When I am far of the car (the handsfree is lost), when I switch off the screen, and switch on again, I have to reconnect the bluetooth serial port associated with the GPS (via SPP Slave service). The track is lost since the HD2 was powered off.:mad:

My question is, ¿how can I configure the GPS connection to keep always paired with the HD2?

I have compared the handsfree and GPS registry entries, but I am not sure what must I change. My first idea is to modify some values in the GPS registry to make Windows think the GPS is a handsfree and keep it paired always

Handsfree ( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Connections\0001 )

GPS ( HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\Connections\0003 )

The differences are those:

Handsfree

bWeNeedToSniff = 1

DefaultConnection=1

GPS

IsConnectRelated=1

UserInstalled=2

I must say there is too a branch in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\WIDCOMM\BTConfig\AutoConnect\] pointing to the GPS, which seems to autoconnect after the power on, but I want to keep it active alwways.

Have any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chirrindulari:
Timeout to disconnect BT 90 seconds

I have measured the time it takes to break the serial port connection and it is 90 seconds.

I began having oziexplorer running and getting the gps position from the SPP Slave serial port associated with the external gps. The handsfree is outside of reach.

If I switch off the HD2 less than 90 secnds, the SPP Slave serial port is active and oziexplorer maintains the sync with the external gps.

If the power off is longer than 90 seconds, the SPP Slave port is lost and to reconnect the following message is displyed:

I have been looking for any time near to 90 or 90000 (decimal and hexadecimal) but I haven't found anything. I think if I can change this timeout to a bigger number it would be enough or my needs.
