[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creaky:
So I've been reading about the internal/external SD storage being reversed in cwm in say, Entropy's Daily Driver kernel (GB). Also saw something about this in Syrah's kernel, I believe. What does this mean exactly, and where and how should I move files accordingly so that cwm is able to find them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
Not sure if it's kernel related, but I thought this was an ics issue, not gb.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
You don't have to move anything. Just the way they identify is swapped, and only in recovery. You'll see this by selecting the two pathways in recovery and taking note of the files. Recovery recognizes both.

This is kernel-dependent, regardless of OS (4.0 or GB). GB Siyah, for example, swapped them, so they identify correctly. Functionality isn't affected, just semantics. In the ICS roms/kernels I've tried, I've seen the same thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creaky:
Thanks for the reply! So if I just copy whatever I want to flash on to the external SD cwm will find it just fine, correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Simba501:
Yes. Just pick internal sd.

Hello, newbie here. Is it possible to disable picassa sync with gallery? If so, what system app to delete? This will be really helpful. :):):)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] FinnAndJake:
disable your picassa account...?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] jangs_momoi:
Thank you for your reply, can you please tell me where or how to disable it? it just syncs and my gallery gets filled up with the photos i have on g+.

just disable picasa sync via acount and sync.

go to SETTING >> ACCOUNT AND SYNC >> your GOOGLE account, and set "sync picasa web album" OFF :)

Can someone show me how to disable when no option to disable it?

Just clear the gallery cache will do...

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] setya5785:
cmiiw, picasa option only appear in account setting after you run gallery3D and succesfully sync with your google account (spesifically picasa) for the first time.

seeing your screenshot, you set baackground data/auto sync off, right ? did you ever sync your gallery to picasa, even once, on that rom ?

probably why you didn't have the option in the first place.

even when using stock rom, or CM based rom, i always get that option after gallery3D sync with picasa.

it's not.

after disable sync, picasa album will not be shown on gallery3D.

not on my phone :p

it's a one time solution, and maybe it will work if in the long run if you didn't have auto sync on.

but if it set to auto sync / background data is on, and you didn't actually disable picasa sync, it will just re-sync your picasa web album
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] encik_racun:
Even on stock i not use gallery3d, it lag :)

I use quickpic on all rom i use...iys fast and better than gallery3d

For the data sync, why do i need auto sync? My fb, email, and other sync app working well without auto sync :p

Spoiler content hidden.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] setya5785:
gallery3d is okay, not really that slow. but i do agree quickpic is better and faster.

i also remove gallery3d and push quickpic to system :D
[Dell Streak 7] Wetzel402:
Hi everyone,

Without further ado, here is a guide to backup and restore your DS7 in nvflash mode.

Scripts where modified from existing scripts for another device. Thank you to whoever created it.

Note: be prepared, the output files are about 15 - 20 GB in size

Guide:

1. Prepare your computer by downloading this and extracting.

Removed for editing

2. Connect the DS7 in nvflash mode by powering off, holding down both volume keys (+ and -), and then while still holding down those keys plug the USB into your PC.

3. Open the folder downloaded in step one and double click the backup_DS7 file.

*Sit back and relax* This will take quite some time but after the script completes your DS7 should be backed up to that folder.

Now to restore simply double click the restore_DS7 file in nvflash mode.

Hope this helps out! :D

Please report any problems with my scripts on this thread
[Dell Streak 7] Wetzel402:
Files taken down until corrected as pointed out by The Manii below.
[Dell Streak 7] TheManii:
You realize that ICS, HS r2-r6 and stock 5xx roms all have different partition maps right?

Those bat files will only restore correctly 5xx -> 5xx backups as at best it will write images to the wrong spot. I dont believe it will flat out corrupt partitions, but it will definitely screw up ICS -> 5xx data restores as ICS uses the 5xx sdcard partition as it's data partition.

Repartitioning is a seperate step, at least with those scripts you can only repartition to 5xx but not away, and only if you had made a backup of a 5xx rom beforehand.

If you use --download instead of rawwrite you can make it backup and restore to the same layout, but it wont be able to cross restore/backup. But this leads back to it doesnt really do anything that CWM cant already do.
[Dell Streak 7] Wetzel402:
--download for both scrips will allow to backup and restore to the correct partitions then, only based on the ROM being backed up, correct?

I have taken down the zip temporarily until corrected.

As for the CWM function, with ICS flashing to different partitions CWM for HC does not work with ICS and vice versa so some people on the DS7 ICS thread wanted a way to backup and restore their devices that can be deployed without worry or issue.

Thanks for the pointers!
[Dell Streak 7] giveen:
This is why we had a hard time with ICS because of the completely different partition mapping.
[Dell Streak 7] seth83:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:
First of all I want to commend all developers on XDA. you guys are amazing people doing something that builds a sense of community.

I use Tape-a-talk for my lectures. I've realized that it drains my battery quite a bit. I checked BetterBatteryStats and see that there is a AudioIn_19 and AudioIn_17 causing the wakelock to be.

Is this the very nature of recording something; that the phone must "stay awake" and not be able to go to sleep? Or is there something I can do to cause it to "sleep" and not drain so much battery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I am afraid thats the nature of the beast man. Your cpu has to be cycling and seems to record using that app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I use the native Voice recorder v0.1

Audioln_29 shows in Partial Wakelock, but it may be easier on the battery than the app you're using.

Had it running for 2 1/2 hours once, and the app appeared to be easy on the battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:
Ya I really liked the native voice recording app but CM9 didn't come with one. The one you are speaking of is the one on stock GB/ICS correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
Yes.

I didn't realize you were on CM9.

Are you able to install the one that's native to GB/ICS?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] guirae:
where would I find that? Pull out of a past ROM
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Biker1:
I believe so, but I'm unsure which file it is. I was looking for it with Root Explorer, but I'm unsure where the file is located.

Update:

It's in:

system/app

VoiceRecorder.apk

I zipped the file for you.

Trying to attach the zip file, but taking a while for some reason.

If you pm me your email, I can send it to you if you'd like.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
Hi everyone,

I just bought the Xperia S from the Sony store. I just finished downloading all my apps. While I was customizing my screens, this error message keeps popping up "Sorry! The application Xperia Home (process.com.sonyericsson.home) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.

"Force Close". I keep hitting force close but it keeps popping up. I did a hard reset on the phone 5 times and it's still appearing. I called Rogers and they couldn't help me and told me to return it to Sony. I can't believe this is happening to me. I just bought the phone and didn't even get a chance to use it, other than downloading apps. :(

Could someone please assist me?

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Soldier_Rocks_08:
Sounds like your launcher try a different launcher
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
How do I try a different launcher? I can't even get past that error message. It won't let me in the main screen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
No problem here with my Rogers version. (Thought I haven't really started installing all my apps on it yet). If we had access to the bootloader I'd tell you to use that to restore a clean image. But since we don't have that (or I just can't get to it) your best bet is to go to the Sony Store
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Scratchling:
Use PCC or SEUS to restore a clean image onto it. This will wipe everything, but also hopefully fix your force closes.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hush66:
As Scratching has mentioned, you should try using the repair function in PC Companion.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
More then likely one or a combination of the apps you downloaded has caused the issue, some apps may not be compatible with the phone or are poorly coded, as the guys have stated best to do a repair, restore or factory reset, no need to send it in to Sony and a quick and easy way:

1. You may not get the popup msg to install PC companion when you plug in your phone to your PC, manually download PC companion here:

http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/pc-companion/

2. Make sure your phone is plugged in, open PC companion and top left hand corner of the window click either "update your phone" or "your phone is up to date" and a popup window will display with the option to repair your phone.

3. Follow the prompts to restore/repair your phone.

4. Restore your google account/contacts etc and be weary of the apps you install, best not to install random apps that look dodge, they generally have lots of ads and popups.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
I ended up returning the Xperia S at the Sony store because the sales person was giving me different informaton on the warranty, then started to trash Samsung for NO reason. I wasn't impressed with how that store handled things. So I'm going to buy the Xperia S at a different Sony store tomorrow. I hope that location is better with their customers and don't give me the runaround.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
I'm confused at your protest here, why not just have the guy replace your existing phone without the need to go to a different store? Yes, he might have been speaking of some BS, but that doesn't have any revelence to the product he sells.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
When they first sold me the phone, they told me after 15 days the warranty is through Rogers and to not come back to Sony. When I called Rogers tech support to troubleshoot the problem, they don't know anything about the device because they don't carry it, so they told me to go back to the Sony Store. I was dealing with another sales rep and he told me the warranty is through Sony because it's "exclusive" to Sony and Rogers will not be carrying it. I told him that's not what his co-worker told me the other day. Then he told me if I get rejected by a Rogers Plus store to send the phone out that I can go to the Sony store and they will take care of it. I am getting mixed information from this store. Their customer service was awful and I rather deal with another location who will offer better customer service. Keep in mind, it does matter where you buy the phone from. If I buy the phone from the Eaton Centre and want the Sony store from Markville to deal with the warranty, they will more than likely send me back to the Eaton Centre. I have gone through this with many merchants where I buy tech products from.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
I see, makes a lot more sense now. Yeah, the rep at my store said all warranty/exchanges are to be done by the Sony Store. Rogers really doesn't have anything to do with the phone (aside from throwing their crappy apps on the phone)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wirelessgirl:
Yea if that Sony store told me that straight up, I would have exchanged it for another one. I wish the Xperia S was unlocked and didn't have any Rogers bloatware since it's being sold by Sony.
