I've flashed faux and harsh with this recovery and didn't have a single problem. You should just manually wipe. Those things like nullifier and scrubber just cause problems. No need for them at all. Good luck!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] leonard washington:
ya so i flashed the recovery again (using oneclicknvflasher this time)

successfully flashed harsh's...working fine noww

im done with the special formatting...scrubber's good enough

thanks everyone
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
I so want more people to realize this. Those are great for when you have a problem that normal wiping cant fix, but if your using them constantly its just reducing the life of your NAND chips.

If its not broke, dont fix it! if everything is running good, theres no need to nullify, use the batch tool, or anything else.

hell, i dont even do any more then a cache wipe (and haven't since CM7 Nightly 100!) << i would not recommend this for most people.

if you have problems then wipe wipe wipe, but if not, dont bother
[T-Mobile LG G2x] sbcdave:
Is touch the only control option, I.e. if your touch screen stops working can you still use the recovery with volume controls ect...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
It doesn't work for me when I first tried. I'll boot into it again just to make sure. I'll let u know in a sec

Update: actually, I'm wrong. It woks but it doesn't at the same time. If u press on of the buttons to go up or down, it goes down for a second and then it restarts to the main page. Sorta hard to explain. Do you understand what I'm saying ?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
can you try by pressing menu and home (up and down) back...(back) search (enter)

NVM I just flashed it myself. it does work like it did on 5.0.2.8...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
If anyone needs it, I have the touch recovery all repackaged in the one-touch nvflasher application. I'll put up a link in a sec.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
I want to start by saying I take no credit for this recovery or the nvflasher, I merely swapped some files and renamed a couple. Just figured I'd share it with those that want it or those uncomfortable making the changes. Here's the link http://db.tt/0fT80FoK

Un-zip touchthis.zip if you haven't installed the apex drivers, do so. Just open nvflash, scroll down to one-click recovery flasher. Double click the file, choose install 5020. It's done flashing in under 5 seconds, enjoy.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Since u just flashed it, did u have the same problems I was having above?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
if you mean where it restarts itself back to the main screen??? then yes.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mustangtim49:
Well, no volume button control, but that's the main reason this recovery was created. Yes, it is sensitive, but that is a normal bug with this. I think the returning to main screen is due to over sensitivity and our fingers touching the screen. It does function perfectly, I've flashed a couple roms already.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] rabbit505:
gunna try it ut now
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Yeah that's the issue. I told rusty and he says it isn't an issue and its not supposed to work. What ever rusty says goes!
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
Obviously lol, it doesn't matter if touch screen failed revert back to 5.0.2.8 either way no touch screen = useless phone.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
So we've always known that it showed up in the Xperia PLAY Game Launcher... but it was always an unanswered "why?" because the game certainly wasn't Xperia PLAY Optimized for any firmware.

Just got a tip from a user on my site that it is, and should be added to my database. As always, I like to test myself before adding anything, but I've tried to install it three times to get to a situation where it FC's every time I get past the intro video.

Can anyone confirm if RR2's updates made it work with Xperia PLAY controls?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I have been playing this game off and on for some time and unless its been updated and I have not updated it it has worked with the game controls for me. In my opinion I would say its definately optimized...

Oh and TL.... glad you like Iruna. :D
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
There was pad support in 1 version but an old one. Have been trying to track it down for ages. The newer versions come up in launcher but none of the controls work. If anyone finds which version please let me know :-)

EDIT = Just sore your post could you tell me what version number you are using. Thanks
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
I am using Real Racing 2 version 1.0.2 I am able to use the hardware controls.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Michealtbh:
Are you sure you're talking about Real Racing 2, and not Reckless Racing 2?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
Hmm... having trouble finding that version. I found a lot of Reckless Racing v1.0.2, but Real Racing 2's version numbering scheme makes it hard to pinpoint that one. Mind sharing your apk for Real Racing 2? Since it's a free-to-try game, I'm gonna try to make it real easy and convenient for everyone by making what would link to the market on my site send them straight to the confirmed working APK.

That makes two of us :D

My poor Vita's never gonna get any hangtime at this rate.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Insane PPC:
want to know about this as well, loved the game, but i hate using touch controls or moving my phone all over the place...

would love to grab it if its working with the play now
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
This is happening to me as well. It shows up in the Launcher but it is not optimized which is weird.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] jim1h:
Note to self, learn to read lol
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] ozzmanj1:
You know what, I must apologize, it is reckless racing 2.. My apologies. Thats what I get for replying to this stuff while at work....
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
I so want to play this game with the gamepad. Any idea if we can get the devolopers to make it optimized for the Xperia Play ?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] cj360:
Are you guys @ jgregoryj1, TLRtheory talking about the paid version or the free version? Because the free version is not optimized. Plays just like it does on my ipod lol.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SkaterOllie795:
I was playing this a few weeks ago on my skiing trip and I can confirm it is Xperia Play Optimised. I was using the left and right directional buttons to steer my car and I was using the L button to brake just like on the first game.

Edit: I have the paid version and have never tired the free version.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
Can you please post your version number. Ps it's the same version free-paid as only an in app purchase. Thankyou :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] SkaterOllie795:
I just reinstalled the app and its version 1.0.2

On the what's new bit when viewing on the play shop it says "fixed Xperia play controls". I bought this app from the play shop a while ago.

The buttons only work when racing though as the menus are made for the touch screen.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] poo-tang:
That sounds like your talking about Reckless Racking 2

We are talking about Real Racing 2

Thanks anyway for reply. :)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] crispyduckling:
yes i have also been witing ages for this game to be xp optimised

as the game itself have great smooth graphics

and the physics seem really good but it plays crap

using touch screen controls and tilt
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] sufy1000:
So is it optimzed then?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] shocito:
Please, confirm this.

I want to buy this game but only if is optimized for our devices.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] AudioCreaper:
Its not optimized.

look at the market comments from other xplay users.

they are still begging for gamepad support.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Michealtbh:
RECKLESS Racing 2 IS optimised

REAL Racing 2 IS NOT optimised
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] TLRtheory:
All I needed to hear. Bout to exercise my ability to rip **** outta my database til they get it together.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] brochador:
The great great TS not answering your question so things get a lil bit confusing here.. :D

[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] HEZAiKU:
Just want to confirm.

I just download the free 60 minute from flexion store n the version is 000698.

So from old version to this latest is still dont have xplay optimized, right?
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Visa Declined:
Won't a gamepad mapper work? That's how many of the "touch only" games are working on the nVidia Shield.

Here's a guy playing Real Racing 3 with the Shield's controller after using the mapper.

[YOUTUBE]bGDl04pBxQo[/YOUTUBE]
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] vg_imsc:
None of the Real Racing 2 & Real Racing 3 versions have ever been optimized for the XPlay gamepad. You have to use Gamekeyboard to play these games using the gamepad. You will find the GKP for RR2 on TLR's site.

I got mine from craigslist, with the case included for $260. It was like a couple weeks after boxing day, I was getting frustrated with trying to score a transformer prime and decided to pay as little as I could for it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blackplague1347:
After many months of a friendly rivalry, a coworker and I have decided to swap phones for a week. (We're both on AT&T, so I assume we can just switch sim cards?)

If it were you, what ROM would you put on the phone to allow for the best experience for someone who has never used android before?

I was thinking CM9, but since it has problems with certain games (Temple Run comes to mind, which we both play all the time), that's probably not a good idea. Moreover, the in-call echo would probably leave a bad impression. Then again, I guess I could flash some other modems on my own and see if that solves it.

So, in your opinion: which rom best shows off the advantages of Android compared to iOS?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
ICS of some sort without a doubt... Maybe XWLP7?

Perhaps set it up to be Nandroidable between CM9 and a TW ICS firmware - "Here's the way it comes from Samsung, it's almost all working but there are Samsungisms people don't like - and here's CM9 - it's still in development but it's a mostly pure Android 4.0 experience".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] omgabunny:
How are you guys going to work out the sim/microsim difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
I wonder if it would work to just swap phones as is, then forward each phone number to the other number.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] blackplague1347:
iPhones use microsim. Completely forgot. Hmm.... I guess that throws a bit of a wrench into our plans.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kLAcK107:
My wife uses a 4S and I just bought my Galaxy last week. Right now I am using tasks AOKP ICS, but I have to say:

So far i like the UCPLC5 Official ATT "Leak". It has ICS, and the Samsung stuff, and its quite nice. It just feels like more of a polished product than the stock android. If its a real rivalry, don't forget about the brands. I also have a samsung point and shoot camera, and lcd tv, laptop, toaster and ... blah blah...

Have had no issues with games with that rom, only my Amiga emulator. Temple Run, shadowgun, angry birds space, all work great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] inspectagadget:
SHOstock2 v1.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] stone_ship:
Interesting question!

Just don't put MIUI on it. It will confirm any suspicions he may already have that Android is an iOS wannabe.

You can get a microSIM adapter for about $5, or make a DIY adapter that should last a week. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJFPh2oc8hM)

EDIT: Entropy's idea is a good one. Being able to swap via nandroid is in itself a great thing to show off!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Bowsa2511:
There's also a dual boot kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] getbuzzin:
Dual boot and nandroid backup might not be such a good idea, just saying. I would think twice about letting your coworker, who own an iPhone, mess around in cwm. Nothing against iPhone users.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
That's highly experimental.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
+1 for SHOstock. Shoman just posted v2, with lots of improvements.

Depending on the user I would also hesitate going overboard with dual boot stuff. Its really cool feature to have but might be too much for someone's first android experience.

AOKP is really nice too, but I feel there are a few visual inconsistencies that may make it feel incomplete to an outsider. Like the progress bars, the best off hand example is CPU Spy. I think SHOstock gives the best of both. You get the good things about TW and shoman has done a great job themeing it. The one thing isn't intuitive to a first timer is the quick panel settings. You may want to set that up first, or at least make an effort to show your friend what it is referring to.

I'd be instested to hear the results of the swap.

I did input my apn settings manually, but it didn't work eather.

I'm running out of options...
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Decs222:

Any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] hjhjhj:
There is a new connections database cab for connection setup at yuki/xbmod tweaks thread, but Play is not in the database. Must be a niche carrier. Find out if Play is a reseller of a larger carrier.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] gregory90:
Actually there is Play in that database. It seems like Connection Setup can't detect proper network (I'm using Turbosim to remove simlock - could this be causing problem?).

Is there a way to tell Connection Setup what settings should it use? Or set this manually?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
I got a bit of a serious issue.

Sprint is obviously GV integrated now. I'd like to keep GV for my voicemails, but its also taking over my texts.

At one point, I had the app installed and set to not bother me and notify the regular messaging app of texts. I have a privacy box setup w/ the regular SMS app so this was not OK. Also, it didn't forward texts to regular SMS a lot of times. I would miss peoples text and I find myself checking voice.google.com manually knowing it may not have come through to the regular SMS app.

I figure, oh well, I'll just listen to VMs through gmail. I deinstalled the app. And unchecked everything possible in voice.google.com settings for texts. Yet it is still happening.

No GV on my phone. Yet, both incoming and outgoing texts are in voice.google.com. Sometimes I'll send a text, be expecting a response and it never comes. I check voice.google.com and it is there.

Is it even possible to exnay Google Voice from my texts and keep just voicemail? Or do I have to switch voicemail providers?

Edit: CRAP!!!! Now I have a *86 voicemail notification that I can't clear!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sputnikk23:
and.. figured it out. :)... thx for looking
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkmj:
The only way to correct all of these errors you're experiencing is to undo your Sprint/GV integration. You can make this change via voice.google.com. You will also want to make sure that you disable forwarding to your mobile number via the website, so that when your phone forwards calls to voicemail, your phone doesn't end up going through two ring cycles for a call you don't want to/can't answer.

From what I understand in your post, you want to have Google Voice handle Voicemail, but have everything else handled via the standard apps on the phone. In order to do this, you want re-install the app on your phone and skip the integration option that Google Voice presents to you during the initial setup of the app. Also make sure to choose not to have Google Voice make any calls, and then set it up to handle your voicemail.

The way this works is that your calls and texts go to your Sprint number, (which will no longer be integrated with Google Voice.) The text messages will feed straight into the standard SMS app. Calls will route normally, but if you send the call to VM or it rings enough times to send to VM, the call will forward to your GV number which will be acting merely as a voicemail box. The caller will leave a message and it will notify you. Now, if you have done the OTA ICS update, you can set up Google Voice to integrate even better and show the VM's in the call log, removing your need to go into the GV app at all. I hope this helps. Good Luck!

Edit: You posted that you'd figured it out while I was writing my post. I'm glad you figured it out, but I'm going to leave this up anyway for people who run into the same issue.

Does anybody know how to exclude the gallery app from creating thumbnails of movie files? You can't use the .nomedia file because then the video player can't see them. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] marvin02:
Don't know the answer to your question, but I recommend QuickPic as an alternative.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
its pretty sime actually. Use a file manager and put an empty file in the folder and name it ".nomedia", exactly the way i have it in quotes. It will exclude the contents of thay folder from viee in normal apps. Like ^^^ said, u can then use quikpic to view them

Since he is talking about "the gallery app" I was under the impression he was planning on selecting his video files to play from within the Gallery App, yet hoped to prevent thumbnail creation. There was no mention of a 3rd party player as I am well aware that MX Video does this as I use it daily.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
fair enough, the pretext of my post was incorrect. If he dies want to both play videos in gallary and hide thumbnails, as u have said, it cannot be done. Only through 3rd party alternatives
