I'm about ready to send my phone back and get a warranty replacement. But I just did a fresh wipe/format of the the sd cards and then reloaded all my rom and kernel. Running ICS using Owain/Harsh combo and I checked the Vold fstab and it has an 8 not a 9. also loaded a gb rom first because that's what the dev thread said to do. New to the forum not new to rom replacement. trying to get braver about asking for help. It sees the external and switches it back and forth every boot and even mid boot. no recognition of the internal hence why I want to just warranty replace the thing. I'm at my end please guys give me some suggestions :confused:

thanks anyone who can throw in some ideas.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
what do you mean by they are swtiching? do you mean mounts it as /emmc then /sdcard? i really hope not cause that sounds bad...

make a backup, and flash a gingerbread rom and let it boot fully to check if the problem is still happening, then report back.

also, before you warranty it, try putting back a completely stock rom and see if the problem is still there.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lifelikedavid:
well no worries about the making a backup.. i haven't installed much because of the issue, so far the sd card has remained as the external with emmc not being mountable from settings>storage...

flashing gb will report back
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lifelikedavid:
repartioning my sd card back to full use.

So my problem was simpler than i thought evidently the format that I did to the internal sd wasn't complete so while in gb I used the erase sd tool and voila I have internal sd memory again the only issue I'm having now is it's like 6gb instead of the 8 it should be because way back when i partitioned my sdcard for sd-ext... hence why i was trying to format in the first place... any help for that.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Klathmon:
Is it the internal or external that's smaller than it should be?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lifelikedavid:
Both.
[Kindle Fire General] fliptwister:
I imagine that being able to reset your kindle after forgetting your password is a great thing for those that forget their password. On the flip side it seems crazy that anyone can reset a device that is not theirs.

After school today my son took his sister's brand new Fire and tried to get on it. My daughter has password protected it for this reason. After multiple tries my son was prompted to reset the kindle. Thankfully he asked me about this before resetting it. The Fire is rooted and I have a backup with Titanium Backup and also with TWRP Recovery so it would not be big deal if it got reset. I still would like it if I could disable this reset option. Is there anyway to do this if it is rooted?

I was also thinking this could be a security feature if her Fire gets stolen at school. If this "feature" cannot be turned off what is to stop someone from stealing her Fire and just doing a reset?

Thanks!
[Kindle Fire General] soupmagnet:
Depending on how much about the command line tools you could just remove the custom recovery and flash it when you need it. That would only keep out the novice Android user though. Unfortunately the average school age kid is usually not a novice Android user. The safest route would be to not take it to school in the first place.
[Kindle Fire General] Felnarion:
I actually did this to my cousin's phone once...After many times of trying different passwords, I made him unlock it for me...To our horror, it was completely wiped.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Magnik:
I was attempting to use the Back to Stock One Click program, but my PC BSOD'd in the process, and now I am getting...

"Firmware upgrade fail !

Unfortunately, I can't seem to worm my way into recovery using any combination of volume + power. What are my chances?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] FBis251:
That's another version of download mode. Flash an Odin/Heimdall rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
Were you using a guide? What were you on before flashing?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lumin30:
You can take a look at the second link in my signature for a guide to the one-click. In the notes there are a few tips that might help. Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Magnik:
Tried all 3 on the laptop, 2 of the 6 hardwired ports on my PC.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] stephen_w:
I know you said two different computers, but did you have the Samsung USB drivers installed on them by chance? If so, they don't get along with the Heimdall drivers and vice-versa. It might be worth checking and uninstalling them, then trying again.

I've been on the same screen you're referring to and was able to get it recognized with no problem. At worst case you could try ODIN if you can't get Heimdall to recognize it and see if you have luck with it. If ODIN recognizes it, you can flash an ODIN-based ROM (or maybe use the 1-click Gremlin Remover) to get going again. Then flash a ROM of your choice.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Magnik:
The PC did, not the laptop.

I'll try Odin.

Edit: I'm not sure if anyone is watching this, but if you are, the previous posted were correct. I reinstalled Windows fresh and it worked great. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uranis:
Like the title suggest I paid about 400 and I really don't know the difference between them but I'm sure this isn't one I should keep or should I? I would hate to go through the hassle of shipping and waiting but then again I want the correct version. The input is appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] moe6:
I believe theres a DoCoMo thread in the General section, there's an unlocker app in the dev section as well originally made for GN-Docomo's
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uranis:
But my Sim card works I'm on att. I just want to know if there's a major difference enough so to return the phone. Every thing seems to be working fine I just don't want problems down the road because this is a domoco
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jocalderone:
I think the differences are only limited to the supported network bands. But it seems everything's working fine for you on ATT.

On a firmware level, docomo may not be yakju stock - your future Android updates won't be coming through from Google but from Samsung, at a later date.

Both Nexus and One X?? King in the castle!! You're lucky!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacz:
I personally would not keep Docomo version as from searching i found that with such version you have to either satisfied with being not permanently unlocked (SIM Unlock code request will appear each time you flash a new ROM or make a factory reset) or satisfied with being permanently unlocked but with generic IMEI.

When I bought my Nexus here in Vietnam there were a lot of Docomo ones but I rather waited for European version and was willingly to pay 20-50 USD more (Docomo version here in Vietnam is sold for 20-50USD cheaper than European version). Hope helped you with decision.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uranis:
I actually used the galaxy toolkit and everything seemed to work fine. So I'm on yakju now. And I actually like the nexus more than the one X if that's hard to believe :-)

I actually flashed the factory Google rom yakju on this phone and it didn't ask for an unlock code. Sim still worked. Haven't tried a rom yet but that will be my next test, I don't think it will be any different. Thanks everyone for your replies
[TouchPad General] ftmaniac948:
Whenever I flash a new rom (after a full wipe of course) and try to start it up, every app from su to setup wizard fcs and I can't seem to go any farther than that. Has don't this with cm9 and cornerstone, any ideas? Not a newb btw :-P

I'm living on a yellow submarine
[TouchPad General] cdzo72:
You either have a corrupt download or a corrupt /system folder.... Try formatting the /system folder before flashing
[TouchPad General] jsgraphicart:
I had this happening with me with google apps. But thats because I forgot to flash the gapps zip. If ALL your apps are doing this, I'd say wipe and reload.

I want to join in as a learner. I want to make a Tom.but I have to know how. Even if ota theming .

If someone can take me under their wing ill learn
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
I'm a learner too but I know some basic decompiling and smali editing, and the stuff I'm implementing doesn't require too much work.! So welcome aboard once I get some experienced devs on the team :)
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Thanks there mate. You got any clues in were I can start learning?
[HTC EVO 3D] decayer177:
I'll join the bandwagon. I know ROM development to a degree. I've made a couple test ROMs for E3D and OG Evo but never actually released any. Don't know **** about compiling kernels though, haha. I use Windows and Linux. Once we get a professional environment running, you'd have my phone number for 24/7 assistance.

[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If you wanna learn the theme part some guides in the stickys that work well in the theme section..

I would play with GIMP since it's free and works well for themes..

Also some kitchens are out that help to work on things..

Apktool is a must.. Along with Notepad ++ :D

Also need SDK :D
[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Thanks there reaper! How about for the rom development itself?

Sorry for the questions I'm just motivated to create a rom (:
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
Depends on what your wanting to do if you wanna pull bloat that part is easy.. If you wanna keep sense in that is easy too.. To make sense less you will need to do some reading on what needs to be edited..

Theme part it's self takes alot of time... Smali edits can be a pain at times because it can be a long log of stuff..

XML is easier to edit and read..

The dev section has info on how to do alot of stuff just need to read some of the guides on things..

I don't play with kernels since I prefer to keep things close to stock and not over clock..

Also I will find that guys kitchen which works well for new folks who wanna learn the very basics :D

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=5626300#post5626300

Read that also if your on windows you will need CYGWIN installed then the kitchen the guide explains how to do it..

Works well for the basic..

Apktool is used to decompile apk files and to edit xml or smali or 9.png files then you can recompile when done.. You will need to resign em .. On most tho you can save the orignal sig :D

[HTC EVO 3D] Threevo:
Thanks there mate!
[HTC EVO 3D] GrimReaper24:
If you have anymore questions feel free to ask I will do what I can to find a answer ..
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
Agreed, smali is a pain buts its pretty much the heart of the app itself. And once we get a real stable rom out there, we will need to set up communication routes (Gmail, gtalk, numbers, etc.) Amongst one another. I think for now though gtalk an email is fine, doesn't require much and is very easy to keep in touch with it. Thx for support ppl :)

Yea, it was also hosted on droidelites.com... A website that has since been deminished... Wasn't anything too special, had a few sense 3.0 goodies(rosie,lockscreen, weather, etc...)

It's great to see lots of folks wanting to learn and get their hands dirty :)

What will fuel you is the passion. You'll fail 20x before you have 1 success but the passion will keep you going. You may laugh but it's the truth.

There is really little documentation out there. Developing in an open group really facilitates the collaboration and sharing and will expedite your learning. That's for sure.

Here is what I would recommend.

Read and re-read every thread in the apktool, apkmanager main threads

Experiment, experiment, experiment. Don't be afraid to fail. Back to my comment about failing 20x before 1 success. Don't give up.

If you're doing a sense only ROM (non-AOSP), you really don't need Linux. Many/most of the necessary tools are available in Windows. (Notepad++, apktool, apkmanager, kdiff3, baksmali/smali, dex2jar, jd-gui, Eclipse, Android Kitchen)

KDIFF3 is your best friend for reverse engineering mods after you've decompiled to smali and can compare complete directories

On a team, source control is essential, you won't be able to work in a team setting without it. code.google.com and github.com both offer free hosting of your code as long as its open source.

Use one form of chat collaboration (IRC, Google Talk, whatever). Decide on this medium as soon as the team is formed. Again, really need this in a team setting.

Reach out to the community of devs. I haven't yet talked to a single dev on this forum that didn't want to lend a hand or answer a question given you've tried and failed many times. Just be sure to describe exactly what you're goal is and what you've tried thus far.

Smali is ugly to read and even more ugly to write. It's an intermediate language not designed to be actually written. Once you've decompiled an APK with apktool or baksmali use dex2jar to translate the dex to a .jar file. The use JD-GUI to view the translated native Java source. This will be much much easier to read then smali.

Now when writing smali, some do it by hand natively which is fine for simple changes like alpha transparency on a layout. But when you're making a major modification to the functionality. Cheat :) Here is how I have done it in the past. Take the decompiled class output which is in JD-GUI and copy it into a new Android project (Eclipse). Typically I only copy over the method I am altering since it will have few less dependencies then the entire class. Then write the modification around the existing code and compile a brand new APK.

Then decompile your new APK and copy the smali output in the method back into APK you want the mod in. This method allows you to write native code (Java) without having to mess with intermediate smali output.
[HTC EVO 3D] mingolianbeef:
Now THAT is what I call a tutorial.! Ur amazing dude. Definitely using this later in the game. And I never knew Java was easier than smali. If u want it feel free to join us on the team. Inbox me ur email and I'll send u the project goals email. Someone copy an paste this to a PDF please lol
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Thats what's up. Can you give s few links to the software you mention?? Would greatly appreciate it. Thanks myn

[HTC EVO 3D] myn:
Google is your best friend in the development world. :)

Which one are you unable to find?
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Lmao really ?? You felt the need to post that ??? This I already know what I didn't know was if you may have had a copy of the software or a link to a trusted download versus a chance taking download from online. Well known Xda members who use software or provide links to download software I tend to trust more than just googling and finding a Link,reading about were the link is from, scanning it for virus, compatiblity issues because of file corruption, etc. That's why I was asking. Nevertheless thanks for the helpfull info. I'll be sure to make a note of how Google is my friend Lol, classic.

[HTC EVO 3D] Will32:
Dude really, this is uncalled for.... This thread is lucky that Myn even made an appearance and he gave out some really good info. Myn is a legendary dev here and any other dev would agree. I have to believe that you don't really know who he is or you wouldn't have posted this. I'm not riding Myns nut sac and I'm not running his Rom. The only reason I'm even posting this is because I hate to see a good dev get disrespected, that's what will keep a good dev from giving tips like this. He gave you assistance and you act like its not enough, you want him to search for you? You want him to cook the rom up for you too? Sorry clog the thread with this, I'm done.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Ummm first off buddy let myn speak for his self if he felt disrespected by my post. Second off I never posted anything about developing a rom,cooking a rom etc. Furthermore he didn't specifically give me any assistance personally, he posted good info on what the op was trying to accomplish and I gave props and quoted him on that saying basically thanks for the info. I asked for any links to the software he had mentioned because I am aware of who myn is "That's why I asked for the links"

I've had more than enough experience with downloading software from the internet and it can cause havoc on a system if you happen to download and install corrupt or malicious software. Once again that's why I asked. He mentioned the software so I figured if he had the links and if he posted them it would help the thread out. My reply to his reply is how I felt no disrespect intended dude I genuinely found it humours man all the talk of disrespect is coming from you. So umm why not just be easy with jumping the gun dude when you assume you just make an ass out of your self.

Moderator and Team d3rp member, pstevep has a wonderful thread in the theming section of the EVO 3D forums. It contains links to many great utilities.

Specifically, take a look at Papa Smurf151's [Dev Tools] Everything Android.

dsixda's Android Kitchen is here.

kdiff3 is located here.

apktool

APK Manager 4.9

Unofficial APK Manager 5.0

myn, I just want to say thanks, you might see my post a page or two back that basically said 'never mind.' Your post made me feel a lot better. ognimnella contacted me, and I am still going to personally see what I can do.

freeza, now, I can't (or probably shouldn't) speak for ognimnella, but I believe that the whole idea behind this is to learn. It may not bring anything new to the table, but it will allow some people to start learning how the OS functions on a lower level.
