Hello All,

I own a Samsung Vibrant (T959) and would like to run Cyanogenmod. After flashing to ClockworkMod Recovery 2.5.1.2, I attempted to run a Nandroid backup before flashing to Cyanogenmod. After backing up the packages it outputs the following error message before completion:

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(File Exists)

Error mounting /data/!

I am afraid to attempt any rom flashing before I can nail down this problem or at least get a full nandroid backup.

Pleeeeease, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

If you have issue with your outer touchscreen and LCD screen, this take apart repair guide will show you how to disassemble your Motorola Xoom quickly and safely.

This guide will help you to install the following Motorola Xoom parts:

Motorola Xoom Touch Screen Digitizer Replacement

Tools Required:

Safe Open Pry Tool

Torx T5 Screwdriver

Torx T7 Screwdriver

Adhesive Strips (for touch screen digitizer)

Motorola Xoom Take apart guide:

Begin by removing the two (2) T5 screws at the bottom of the unit in your data charging sync ports. Remove the plastic cover over the ports.

Slide the bottom portion of the back cover down. The bottom portion of the back cover uses slides with small clips to hold unto on unit. Uses small screwdriver or similar objects to push the clips and completely remove the back cover.

Figure 1​

Next will remove the top portion of the back cover. There two (2) T5 screws holding this on as well as the small connectors from the power button.

There thirteen (13) T7 screws located in red on Figure 2 and two (2) T5 screws located in yellow in Figure 2holding the battery. Carefully pull out the battery and disconnect the small cable connecting it to the motherboard.

Figure 2​

Use your safe open pry tool to carefully remove the two (2) small speakers located in green on Figure 3. Carefully remove the camera it is sitting in small plastic frame that you have to remove first then remove the ribbon cable and pull the camera out, located in yellow.

Disconnect the two connectors at the bottom of the unit and one on the either side at the top, as located in orange on Figure 3.

Figure 3​

There are ten (10) screws that hold the motherboard into the unit, two of this screws are gold and have a special bracket they're along the top. Carefully remove the motherboard.

There are seventeen (17) T7 screws holding the screen frame together. Carefully remove the touch panel from the rest of the screen.

Figure 4​

If repairing a damaged touch screen digitizer: Heat the outside of the screen to soften the adhesive holding the screen in place. Use a heat gun or hair dryer on a medium setting for around 1 minute, working around the edges in quick movements. Now, use a safe open pry tool to pry in between the touch screen digitizer and frame, being careful of the flex cable.

To repair the LCD screen: remove the thirteen (13) T5 screws holding the LCD into the screen frame, located in Figure 5. Carefully lift the LCD out of the frame.

Figure 5​

Now you will be able to replace any parts on your Motorola Xoom. Simply replace the damaged parts with the new ones and reverse the order to put your tablet back together again.

[Xoom General] Sparticuz:
So I have a cracked screen and I purchased a new screen on ebay a few months ago. I took my entire xoom apart and tried to put the new glass on my xoom, but found that the Old cracked glass had a plastic housing attached to it. Looking at your site, it looks like you've got the glass for 80 bucks, does this have the plastic housing attached to it?
[Xoom General] repairsuniverse:
No, the glass doesn't come with the plastic housing. You simply attach the glass to the original housing.

Our customer service guys can assist further with the install if required.
[Xoom General] repairsuniverse:
Warranty

If the device is already cracked then physical damage already voids most warranties. Insurance on the other hand will cover damage or loss.

You're welcome! Hope it helps.

I have a few questions about the touchscreen replacement. My touchscreen is responsive but some areas are now dead. I tried playing around with the touchscreen controller - PCB - but that did not improve anything.

Now, do I need to remove all the screws for the battery/ camera/ speakers, etc. if I just need to replace the touchscreen?

In other words, is a full dis-assembly really needed?

In other words, can I skip removing the screws in figure 2 and figure 3 and jump directly to figure 4.

Also, I see several videos which indicate that the touchscreen replacement part has to be fixed to the 'mid-frame'; this means I have to use a heatgun. No other options to avoid the heatgun? e.g. buying some other replacement part which comes with the mid-frame?

I have this rom installed from dk_zero-cool and release 3.0U0

On the original CyanogenMod Rom i could move ALL apps I install to the SD card. Now certain apps can't.

Because I cannot yet post in the dev section, I have to post it here.

Any solution for it? And don't come with answers like: take original rom or take cyanogenmod rom. Don't want to go back to 2.x

Apps I'm talking about are:

Advanced Task Killer Pro 1.9.7B92

Draw Some Inspire 2.0.1

Swype Installer 2.0

TuneIn Radio Pro 5.4

WhatsApp 2.7.5813

Some other apps like Sygic 11.2.6, Firefox 10.0.3 and so on can move to SD.

Tried to re-install it, and even tried to re-flash the rom.

Used a standard installation from their installer..
[Desire General] petwussy:
I recommend that you get a partition of 500mb. That solved all my problems regarding low internal memory.

If you dont want to do that you could try the "system"--> "performance"--> "Mount2SD Management". Have you tried to change any of these options?

edit:

you have the version before Mount2SD management is in the menu. Either update to 3.1U0 or do the script in terminal window.
[Desire General] pewbeef:
Are you using any scripted functions such as A2SD, or are you trying to use Androids built-in feature "Move to SD Card"?
[Desire General] bortak:
My advice:

1) Download the latest CM9

2) Create a 500mb EXT4 partition (can go up to 1024mb)

3) During install select "R-mount"

4) Enjoy.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
This is a rotating led charm that notifies you if you have a call. http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/a150/

It says only works with GSM networks but I was wondering if there's anyway to get it to work with the CDMA DROID razr.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beartard:
Sure, it's possible. Cell phone charms that light up and move are made for both GSM and for CDMA phones. You could buy a CDMA one (http://www.x-tremegeek.com/cell-phone-accessories/cell-phone-charms.html) for example. If you were any good with electronics, you could rig the circuit to make the motion work using the new CDMA charm's guts.

The question is, do you want to? These charms worked well with "dumb phones" years ago, since the phone only radiated when receiving a call. With modern smartphones, I found there are way too many annoying "false" signals caused by data access. When I was on T-Mobile, I used a TARDIS that sits about 4" high on my desk. It's GSM as well (most of the world). It makes the dematerialization sound and flashes the light on top. But like I said, when I made the transition to the smartphone world, it became way too annoying to leave on. It certainly didn't give any *meaningful* noises.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Thanks. I guess i won't be getting one haha. Now it'd be cool to make one that would only work when you got a text or call like through Bluetooth. I guess these charms are a thing of the past.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] beartard:
Still, it's cool as hell to see. And you have good taste. ;)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] torikorocks:
Haha i love doctor who and can't wait for the new season.

I downloaded an app called App quarantine from the market and put the following apps in the don't run bin :), but before doing that I downloaded Go Launcher / Go Contacts / Go Sms Pro and did a ehh, conversion from the stock samsung apps to Go Stuff. Has anyone else done this or anything similar?

Apk's no longer running on boot

(See screen shots, i'm lazy today.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] littlewierdo:
There are a number of apps that do the same type of thing, Titanium Backup will 'freeze' apps as well as a whole host of additional features.

Then of course, another option is to just rename the apps from *.apk to *.bpk and rebooting.

My personal preference is a third option called Autostarts which is similar to MSconfig in Windows but for Android. The reason being is, it gives you the ability to keep an app from ever running unless you actually tap the app to run it but still allows you to keep the app installed in the event you want to use it. Google Maps comes to mind, I want it installed, I dont want it running in the background.

I dont recommend removing any of the bloatware if you plan on staying on stock but, some of it for US Note users was able to be uninstalled without root via either Settings->Applications->Manage Applications->All Applications, then tap an app and see if uninstall was lit up, if so, sweet. Or, alternatively you could go thru the Market->(Menu Key)->My Apps but not all apps show up in this list. As a side note, I actually manually did a search for many of the apps on the phone and manually updated them because they were not showing up in the market 'My Apps' list.

One other side note, most of the Samsung apps are actually pretty decent, I usually dont touch them. Its the ATT software and the apps ATT took bribe money from third parties that bothers me (Yellow Pages for example).

Oh, and a little known feature of Go Launcher is the ability to hide apps.

Tap the App drawer icon to get to the list of apps on your phone, tap the menu button, tap hide apps. For those of us that havent bothered to root, this at least gives you the ability to not have to look at apps you dont want to see in the app drawer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jb0nd38372:
Wow thank you for all the info. As far as staying stock, I like making my devices unique to me, I did keep all spen related apps, but killed pretty much everything else. I doubt my phone will ever see an official release of anything, Xda all the way :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Redknight111:
Just to add I guess a 'fourth' option, I like to use the app 'root toolbox' available on the market with both free and pro versions. Under the advanced menu you can remove any system apps you like but the nice thing is anything you remove is automatically backed up to the root toolbox folder on the internal sd. The backup is done automatically so you dont have to worry about removing something and forgetting to backup first and also gives you the option to restore any system apps you removed simply and easily. Ill be honest the restore feature has saved my bacon many times lol and is also a great way to experiment which apps are safe and unsafe to remove.

ok so im going to Europe in about 2 months and im going to be using my phone as my main camera. but im worried about the battery mid day since i will be taking tons of photos, i wont be using data so i know to toggle that off and i will be removing any non necessary play store app so it wont consume any battery since i can easily DL it again once im home ... i will be using juice defender U. but is there any thing else i can do to conserve my battery ... i wont be using flash on the camera if i don't need to. any ideas will help :) oh and im running ICS if that helps
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jngtt:
go to plane mode to kill the radios, and you should have a camera that last almost the whole week
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Aus_Azn:
Also, SetCPU to roughly 600MHz max, ondemand, and make sure it's 192-192 with a screen-off profile.

If you don't own the app, the app is free to XDA folks on the G1 board, or you can support the dev by buying it from Play Store.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] fredy915:
Sweet thanks to you both def helped out ! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
MX Player pro wont load .srt file... I Can read it in plain text and tried a few other ones as well. The default video player won't even load avi files, and mobo player isn't loading subtitles either. First video I tried didn't even have audio ( it did but it just wasn't playing)

EDIT (picture wont upload- just says "upload to" usually goes to tapatalk) I also realized I posted this in the wrong forum when I went to look for it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jthatch12:
Moral of your story. If it needs subtitles, you shouldn't be watching it :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Edgarhighman:
Fast Five movie. Ended up using mVideoplayer and different subs. The video overtime would deteriorate in the timing between the audio, sub titles, and video. The video had perfect picture; but the player would induce blockiness, and blurred picture. Also fixing the timing on the subtitles would only work temporarily. 3 of my other video players wouldn't even play the subtitles. It was a horrible mess.

At least I got bit torrent working on my phone downloading at 2 megabytes per second.

Hi..

I have flashed creeds rom v3.0 on my galaxy fit and it is working super fine but draining my battery... please tell me what to do..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
how much batt. backup you got before, and hw much you are getting now??
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] tejkumarvusirikala:
when im in my stock rom.. i got the bak up for 1 to 2 days even if i use the phone( i barely use my phone only for textiing) but after flashing the creeds rom my battery is going down even if i just opening the menu and browsing it..

for example: when im in my stock rom the battery(100%) stays up to 6 to 7hrs max even if i use it but now it longs for two hours if i use it..

PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO INCREASE MY BATTERY LIFE.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
battery life will be affected...

getting 1-2 days on stock is an exceptional case...I never reached a day on a single charge...

and neways, battery is the cost you have to pay to enjoy all the awesome stuff of custom roms...if you want battery, you'll have to sacrifice features...and vice-versa...

if you still want, try these:

decrease brightness to lowest level you are comfortable with...

switch off wifi, bluetooth, gps, 3g whenever not in use for long...

don't use live wallpapers and actively updating widgets, or too many passive widgets...

hope this helps...but you won't be able to get that much batt again...

Did u wipe battery stats after flashing rom??

Sent from my GT-S5670
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] tejkumarvusirikala:

No i dint wiped the battery status.. is it necessary to do that??

i have wiped data reset, dalvik cache and wipe cache..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] D@rekills4:
Yes....

Wipe it.

After wiping Battery Stats check your battery life.

If it still sucks then check if its some app thats draining out the battery....
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] tejkumarvusirikala:
rekill can u help me on this plz

please tell me how to overclock my phone im using creeds rom v3.0. when i set the frequency in no frills cpu control at 819 mhZ its asking me for rebooting the phone and even after rebooting its coming again to stock frequency please help..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
819 is too much dude!!!

go easy, no wonder you get battery drain...

not all phones can handle above 750mhz...so stick to something stable...

and no-frills doesn't tell to reboot, so can you give screenshot?? (press home+power button)
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] tejkumarvusirikala:
thanks mate

Thank you acid.. as you said 787 is working for me.. if i set it above 787 its just hanging my phone and restarting itself leaving the frequency unchanged.. im worried if i got any problems at 787 so went back to 600... thank you..
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] Deleted member 4398224:
I don't know for creeds rom v3.0, but I installed Battery Calibration and I do it according to the instructions. Charge the battery until the end (100%). Open Battery Calibration and follow the instructions. Someone has already suggested what turned off. You do and it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] krankdroid:
hi fellow note users.

I found a small bug in the os/touchwiz/s-pen setup.. I bought my note as it actually lets.me create content. And it works for really great so far. I screenshoot, crop and paste away. I took some screenshots of a video playing in Mobo player. Worked great. Was going to take a screenshot of a flash video playing on youtube. No go. Html5 video is a no go for me as well. I tried both im several browsers for youtube and the youtube app. I just get a black screenshot. That is in my book a BIG hole in the hole s-pen feature.

Is there a way to fix this?

Is it just on my note?

Should i tip off samsung about it if its not just on my device?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ak3dgfx:
My guess is that it's more about rights management and licensing than a software bug

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] MichalBn:
Hello, I'm developer of linux software and I tested capabilites to get full Linux on our phone.

Sorry for posting in general, but i'm unable to post in development.

At the beginning - some theory:

1) We don't need to unleash Linux, because Android IS build on top of linux.

2) Availability of software depends on standard C library - in GNU/Linux it's glibc, in android - bionic.

So we need to port glibc, not linux.

We have following solutions:

-mount and chroot on top of android:

It's really simple: read here.

-build glibc and replace bionic-it's great idea, but may cause some Android problems.

read here.

-build a whole system: but then, we can't use gsm and android at all ,and it's extreemly hard.

Any questions? :P If sbd need any tutorials, i can help.

I am currently running Nils Business ICS Sense 3.6 v3.3 and I am not sure if I am running the new RUU leak. In settings, under build number, it says "3.11.605.22 CL339740 release-keys"

Would flashing the patch that was posted in Nil's OP for the ROM make my phone think i am running 3.11.605.22 even though I am running the old firmware? Or does this mean I installed this new firmware when I recently unlocked my bootloader?

Thanks
[HTC Rezound] zone23:
First way to tell is in your bootloader it will say "Tampered" at the top. Second is the version is 2.21.0000. If your phone is working fine then don't worry about flashing the new firmware. Wait for the update.
[HTC Rezound] SynisterWolf:
OR

did you remember ever going into hboot and installing the RUU?
[HTC Rezound] Snuzzo:
Easiest ways to tell;

Tampered and hboot version as stated above. Also the new radios are 1.xxx, old ones are 0.9xx. All of this info is found in hboot.

Hey,

there has been some like these for other phones but I'm wondering if there is a metal/aluminium battery case for the note.

I don't mean a case that goes around the phone, no.. I mean that we remove the original galaxy note battery cover and place a (brushed?) metal cover in there. Would look and feel good I believe

Your phone signal will get degraded. Even a shell made of metal does that, unfortunately. Weaker signals mean more battery used, too. :(
