Right, just because I complain about *SONY*'s software makes me another mac complain retard, huh?

To be honest, I've been on a Mac for more than a year, with no problem on both hardware and software at all, while I clearly remember my Windows 7 desktop hangs occasionally just for many basic stuff. My last Android device works great with my Mac too, so it's not a Mac problem in any sense.

I don't really want to argue with you about OS (it's pointless) here, but please let me remind you that this is a Mac discussion/support thread, if you have nothing useful to say, just leave, no one force you to reply.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] zodiac100:
I'd rather have a platform that hangs occasionally than one that throws up issues and doesn't work at all with a lot of stuff. If you haven't had any issues with your Mac, that's probably because you've so far stuck to basic computing.

Like I said, Macs regularly throw up issues connecting to third party hardware and I know because I spend many hours each week dealing with these problems.

There is absolutely nothing you can say to change this opinion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kenwchan:
I had been using Double Twist with my other Android devices but found that the Sony didn't always show up in the menu, so I started to use Isyncr. It works well enough but some songs for some unknown reason won't make it through. I had to remove some songs from my playlist that were causing this and then it was ok. But Double Twist does not see these playlists now so I have to use the built-in app, Rocket player, or PowerAmp. I just use the stock music app now.

As for file access, I happen to be running Parallels, and therefore I can mount the phone on my mac, and as my Windows Desktop can "see" my Mac disk, it's very easy to access the phone. But I agree, it's stupid to have to do this.

The Sony Bridge was goofy for me - I would see for example a duplicate Music folder and music folder (note the case difference) and one folder was spawning duplicates. Deleted one and the other disappeared too! Who knows was weirdness was happening. So I didn't use it. As for photos, I just copy manually; forget syncing to iPhoto, but that's how I always did it for all my other devices.

I can't thank the developers enough for their hard work on this, but I just got a question. I just installed JackpotClavin's 3-31.zip CM9 on SGP 5.0 US and it's whole lot better than before, but I'm still wondering if the dialer is intentionally removed there? Maybe I'm ignorant about how ICS handles the dialer, but I assume it should be there and I'd like that on SGP as well, to use it as a VoIP device. I'm still a noob not having access to the developer forum, so I'm wondering if someone forwards my request to the developer or hopefully he checks this forum as well. Thanks.
[HTC One X] zenkinz:
I backup all the stock apps so that I can remove them.

When I tried to restore one of them later I found titanium backup will get stuck restoring.

Manually extract out the apk from the archive and install did not work either.

Then I found that many of the system app which I had previously uninstall (via titanium backup) are still in system/app folder.

How do I restore such app? Some stock user app like tunein can be restored though.

Worst case do you think a hard reset will bring back the app? If I recall it does but I want to double confirm so that I don't hard reset for nothing.
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
Did you remove the app, or freeze it?

If removed, I believe the app will not return after a hard reset.
[HTC One X] zenkinz:
remove. i thought i had remove an app before a hard reset and the app came back, and I think these apps are residing in the protected storage (can't remember the term)
[HTC One X] chrisjcks:
I'm not sure regarding the HTC partition system,

But my past devices have not re-installed a stock app if I removed it (not froze), with TB.

I had to always flash a stock Rom image to replace them. (or is this what you meant with hard reset?)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost shell:
After browsing and reading a lot of threads I decided to go with WanamLite, because from what I read everything is working like stock Samsung firmware and it's fast. I'm hoping encryption and tv-out work.

I already zergrushed root and installed CF-root CWM some days ago.

So if I flash WanamLite my new bootloader will be the one from ICS? That means I'll get an increase in the flash counter and the yellow triangle, right?

Or is it that this ROM doesn't include the bootloader section?

The instructions in the official thread say:

1 - Copy my Rom to internal sdcard

2 - Backup, backup, backup

3 - If you came from a Gingerbread or AOSP Rom, you MUST WIPE your data

4 - Flash my Rom from recovery

5 - Reboot & enjoy (and let the phone to boot up, at least 5 minutes required for media scanner to finish)

I just want to be sure on this so I don't mess up.

1 - done

2 - I have made a backup using CWM

3 - so for this I must boot into CWM recovery mode and then select Wipe Data/Factory reset and then Wipe Cache Partition?

4 - still in CWM I then must select Apply Update From SDCard?

5 - reboot

Is the above correct?

Thanks a lot for your help.

BTW, is it just me or v10.7 has more features than v10.8?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] netcitizen:
The procedure you follow is right.

I would do couple more things before flashing a new ROM.

*cwm -advanced - wipe dalvik cache.

*mounts and storage - format system. This step won't be mentioned in installation steps.but its good to do.sometimes you may have problems moving from aosp rom to sammy rom this ensures that there are no issues.just be careful that you don't format SD card.

Any new flash will increase the counter.you can reset it using the USB jig.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
Don't bother about the counter and yellow triangle if you get one, there is an app called triangle away, it will help you remove both the counter and yellow triangle with ease in ics

#*posted on the move *#
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost shell:
I just want to make sure I understand this...

So what the "Wipe Data/Factory reset" does is the same as "format /data" in the CWM advanced menu.

And the "Wipe Cache Partition" is the same as "format /cache".

And you're saying to also "format /system"

Is that correct?

I may be wrong on this but, I think I read somewhere that the USB jig was not working with some newer kernels.

So I thought that if the jig doesn't work then it could be that the triangleaway also wouldn't work.

But do all ROMs, or in this case WanamLite, overwrite the bootloader?

Once again thanks.

@ghost shell

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=triangle+away&c=apps this is for the trinangle Isue for rooting , but theirs another way for rooting the phone without yellow triangle by using self recovery .if u came in GB u need to wipe delvic cahce ,data .:D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bala_gamer:
usb jig wont work with newer bootloaders that comes with ics. triangleaway is the simpler and easy way to remove counter , usb jig is not required for ics.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghost shell:
for anyone who finds this thread when trying to answer their questions...

All went OK and I didn't got any yellow triangle.

So either the bootloader wasn't flashed or CWM doesn't increase the flash count.

I'm still exploring things, but the phone seems less responsible. Sometimes I tap and it does nothing.

And I think I screwed up by allowing google to backup and restore my data. Either that or WanamLite still comes loaded with a lot of crap (like widgets). I'm not sure.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksilver89:
To my understanding:

1. Flashing bootloaders won't give you a yellow triangle or increase flash counter.

2. Flashing with CWM or mobileODIN will not increase the flash counter as well. (Flash counter only increase when flashing non-official kernel in ODIN mode?)

3. Wananlite CWM zip doesn't flash bootloaders, you need to manually flash the ICS bootloaders if coming from GB.

4. I'm on V10.3 with siyah kernel 3.0.1, everything works as it should. (Next ROM: Sensation v3, perhaps?)

5. If you are not satisfied with the touch sensitivity, you may download ExTweaks from play store and adjust vitalij value.

Hope it helps. ;)

Hi I was thinking of trying this rom to, but I am bit concerned about *mounts and storage-format system operation can someone exlpain this process in more depth as I don't want to loose my saved roms/back ups which are on the internal sd card and my external sd card.

*cwm -advanced - wipe dalvik cache.

*mounts and storage - format system. This step won't be mentioned in installation steps.but its good to do.sometimes you may have problems moving from aosp rom to sammy rom this ensures that there are no issues.just be careful that you don't format SD card.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
its very simple.....

Yesturday only I have done this for my MIUI ROM, I came from Samsung ROM earlier, but it was continuesly giving one error on each MIUI rom I flashed,

I understand Wiping and formating are same, but in the main menu it is only given few wipes which will not effect your ROM's system file and you will be able to boot even after all that wipes,

But by formating System (at Mounts & Storage) you are completely wiping your ROM with its data, but this will not wipe any data which is stored on the user partion of SDcard (which you can access from Computor through mass storage) . now your pnone is Romless and you will not be able to boot until you install a new ROM from recovey or from ODIN.

the steps are:

1) Put your favourite ROM on your iternal SD

2) wipe data factory reset

3) wipe Dalvik cache from Advance

4) go to mouts and storage and select only format system and do it.

5) go back and select install zip from SD card and install your ROM...

Reboot - DONE

Just click on the link of CWM in my signature for more knowledge about CWM menu and partitions which I gathered for me and shared with you....

Hi all

I am about to install Wanamlite and have a question. If I copy Wanamlite in my internal SD (the 11.5 GB memory space I had afrom the beginning with my SII) and that I select wipe data/factory reset, won't it delete everything on the internal SD including the Wanamlite zip ?

Thansk for your help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZACQ8:
No, wiping will not delete any user data on your SD card which is accessible through PC

wiping Cache and Data will only wipes your phon's some temporory files and applications and its data...
[Verizon Droid Charge] Det0natoR:
I have a guy that is selling his Bionic for $200. If I could sell my Charge for $150 and fork the other $50 with it for the Bionic, would it be worth it? I only paid $10 for my Charge about a month ago. I really like the fact that it has dual cores and has a few ICS roms out for it. I got to play around with ICS on my old Epic 4G before I sold it, and all I can say is WOW! I definitely want ICS now.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
I'd say so, the screen is a definite downgrade but everything else is superior IMO. Best upgrade is probably the RAM. I guess the only other downsides are that it's a motorola phone and i heard it has trouble staying connected to 4g, like the Charge used too. But I heard that when the phone was released, who knows how it's doing now...
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I would take that in an instant given the bionic is in good condition. Sure the screen sucks but it is more visible outside. Also I would expect it to have better connectivity than the Charge because it is a moto phone. The battery is a bunch bigger too, and can't forget the dual core.

Plus with the RAM you get it would have real multitasking.
[Verizon Droid Charge] blarrick:
Exactly, the screen isn't enough of a trade off to turn me away from the Bionic. I mean the screen isn't bad but compared to the Samoled+ with voodoo screen tuning it doesn't come close. Still, with the extra RAM the multi tasking is what really intrigues me. That's one thing this phone always sucked at and always will.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
The Bionic was EOL'd before the Charge, if that means anything. Personally, I'd keep the Charge, but I don't like Moto phones, or their practices.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I figured lol.. You are the biggest proponent of Samsung phones I have seen on here. But then again you dev for fascinate charge strat and nexus
[Verizon Droid Charge] Falcyn:
I'm pretty certain the Bionic has not hit EOL. The Droid 3 did, but the Bionic is still sold new and likely will be for a while as it's on the official ICS upgrade list for later this year.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Det0natoR:
Yeah, Bionic is on Moto's list for ICS...but that is a moot point considering CM9 is already out and pretty darn stable on it. I'm really not a fan of Motorola as a company either, but I REALLY want ICS lol. It's about twice the upgrade that Gingerbread was from Froyo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] luenutb:
Agree with above
[Verizon Droid Charge] myredfast:
Screen on the bionic straight up sucks! So does the camera. Also feels very cheaply made. If multi-tasking is extremely important and need the extra core, then ya maybe. I don't know about everyone else but I gotta have a superior screen and sound.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xdadevnube:
Why not try to pick up a Rezound? Gotta be better that the Moto phones. They have leaked ICS, with some kernel issues, but it works well overall. They might be geting S-Off soon as well, which could pave the way to ASOP and CM9.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Det0natoR:
One thing I will say that absolutely drives me insane about Samsung phones is their stock camera. Don't get me wrong, it takes great quality photos and is extremely smooth to use, but here is the problem. Take a picture in portrait orientation. Now try to share it through a messaging application other than stock, or copy the file to your computer then open it. It will show up 90° counter clockwise. This drives me bonkers that Samsung can't get this right. Sure, I have a different camera app called vignette that saves it correctly, but it is a lot slower than the stock camera.
[Verizon Droid Charge] xfearxphoenixx:
The dual cores and ram is nice on the Bionic but overall I like the screen and interface of the Charge better. For even more Charge fun fllash it with the Tweaked v2.0 rom. Runs just as good as a dual core phone in my humble opinion. Plus in the past I have had nothing but problems with moto android phones.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Unless you are doing something that actually puts a heavy load on the CPU...
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Just because it's getting an update doesn't mean the device isn't EOL. The Bionic was dead in the water as soon as the RAZR came out. While the Galaxy Nexus is the next in line for the Charge, there still hasn't been a real "upgrade" for it since the Nexus is stock Android and the Charge isn't. Rezound would be the replacement for the Thunderbolt, and Lucid the replacement for the Revolution, so the Charge is the only device that hasn't been fully replaced yet in VZW's lineup.

The Charge hates your wife.

I broke my first Charge's screen and ended up using a demo Bionic that I had on hand. I used the Bionic for about a month and I couldn't get over how crappy the display was compared to the Charge. Since I look at the display 100% of the time that I use my phone, having the better display was preferable. Needless to say, I bought a refurb'd Charge for $250 and returned the demo Bionic.

First of all please don't flame me or make fun of me for what i did because i know it was stupid and i shouldn't have done it.

i took apart my prime and when i was separating the tabs i stuck the card i was using to far in and cut one of the ribbons connecting the display. so i either need to know how to completely disassemble the screen assembly and a place to buy the ribbon that i cut or i need a whole ner front assembly which i have yet to find.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] robertg9:
I really doubt you'll find a source for the cable. I would look for someone with a "bricked" or broken Prime and try to work a mutually acceptable deal.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cordell507:
i took the LCD off and the cable that i ripped is actually connecter the very front part so now im just looking for the full front assembly which i still can't find anywhere
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] neo1738:
unfortunately it will be very tough to find the parts, may have to send in for non warranty RMA and it will cost you. I would estimate about $250-300 judging by what others have said but only RMA can tell you. Which sucks because they won't even begin to estimate until they have the unit in their hands.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] 6666:
talk to one of the people on the forums with units with broken screens and make em an offer

that's the part that i need, the broken screen is part of the front assembly. but think im just gonna sell it for parts, anyone know how i could wipe al the data off it without the screen, the tablet itself still works so do you think i could connect it to my computer and wipe it somehow?

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] cordell507:
I don't have an HDMI cable so that's out of the question, is their anyway to wipe from fastboot or adb
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] buxtahuda:
Pretty sure you should be able to wipe through ADB, though someone else would have to chime in with the correct commands and parameters. I guess I've just spoiled myself working on electronics, even if I don't have a need I keep as large a variety of cables as I can :D

That sucks, I'm sorry it happened lol looks brutal. Like everyone's said, it's going to be hard to find parts, but are these things really proprietary? Aside from being the wrong shape/length shouldn't OP be able to find a comparable cable? Then disassemble the LCD from the GG, replace cable, profit?

I mean, it wouldn't be the first time I've seen proprietary ribbon cables, but I figured ASUS would push something somewhat standardized since this is an internal part, unlike the charging cables people aren't going to (usually, again, sorry OP lol) lose or damage the display's ribbon cable and need a new one.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] slayvus:
Looks proprietary to me and it looks like it might control the tough screen and display.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] leppie:
You are not suppose the use a card on the bottom or the top, only the sides. Once the sides are the released, the bottom should just come up, and if can be safely lifted.

Anyway, it looks more like you used a knife to open it.

Best you can do, is probably sell the screen to someone who cracked their (will require some careful disassembly), and the main unit for someone who bricked theirs.

Update: Another idea to figure the part number yourself. Then call ASUS, and say you need to that exact part, that would at least cut out their 'handling' fees.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Erusman:
Well. Few options like others said.

1) Buy another prime and set that one aside for parts / Wait several months

until parts start emerging forsale (LCD, bezel) etc. to fix.

2) Buy someone elses broken prime to fix yours.

3) Buy protection. Smash the crap out of it while running it over with car.

Try to claim insurance. / Buy another prime from store and replace parts

with broken and take other back. (Very shaddy.. but i am sure some would

do that on here.. lol)

4) Fix it yourself. Very difficult to buy ribbon cables that would match connections.

5) Hang on wall for Memorabilia. I use to do that with a few hard drives that

broke. lol
