I think there's a way to do EXT4 without journalling but I would imagine its not recommended as you risk data integrity during a crash.

Before anyone rages on me, I am not trying to flash a stock firmware to my rooted prime.

I have virtuous prime 21r1 flashed. My issue is that under settings, when I go to wipe my prime, it doesn't clear /mnt/sdcard... All my personal data is still there. I'd like to start with a fresh slate, but don't know if I can just rm -rf /mnt/sdcard or what. Also, where is the root of /mnt/sdcard on the root filesystem?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TurbineTester:
I received a replacement galaxy nexus today from Amazon. I made a nandroid backup using CWM recovery on the old Galaxy Nexus phone. Pulled the sim card from the new phone, put it in the new phone to confirm it worked. I then tried to connect my old phone to the PC to copy over the nandroid, but now the computer will not mount the phone and i am unable to see anything on the phone. I tried putting a new sim card in the phone but the computer still does not see the phone. I have the galaxy nexus toolkit kit installed but it does not show it attached currently.

All i'm trying to do is copy the nandroid backup i created on the old phone to the new phone. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Chris
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WiredPirate:
Most likely you need to disable "USB fast charge" and the comp will recognize your phone again. As far as the restore, why not use TiBu?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TurbineTester:
Thank you so much, disabling fast charge did the trick.

I must confess that even though i have the Pro TiBu, I don't really understand all of what it can do. I was under the impression that it simply backed up the apps and system data. Does it also back up music etc similar to a CWM nandroid backup?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jubakuba:
You can use your nandroid.

I used to pop old nandroids from my DX onto it's refurbished brothers without problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eibbed0001:
Does the replacement phone have to be unlocked and rooted prior to installing the old phone's nandroid or will the nandroid carry over the unlock and root status? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bananagranola:
The new phone needs to be unlocked with a custom recovery if you want to restore the nandroid. Root will come with the nandroid.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
who would rather not hear about a phone months before it might be available on my carrier of choice.

I'd like more focus on what's available now, how to fine tune it and get more life out of it than knowing a company is spending tons of money baiting us with what might one day be. Frankly I get really annoyed when that next best phone doesn't show up on my carrier.

I'd much prefer waking up one morning and bam newer, better phone from Samsung without even knowing it was coming.

I personally think it's one of the reasons many of us (me, me, me) struggle to hang onto a device for any length of time and, of course, that's likely why they do what they do. Get us lusting for the next, best, greatest thing ever so that by the time it's finally out we're ravenous to have it. Only for me, it totally backfired with the Nexus. When it was first announced I was gonna be first in line to buy it, but by now, meh I'll wait and see what's next.

Just a rambling thought.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
My buddy got the VW Nexus and is taking it back for the razr maxx. He has had one problem after another, like the phone crashes and goes a boot loop if you turn on wifi.

The screen isn't really bigger thanks to the on screen buttons, my phone has more useful area. Its not worth it IMO, especially since I'm running ICS already on this...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Ajamucamphor:
I feel ya. Sprint got me with the evo, I bought the hero thirty two days before. When the galaxy 2 came out I didn't hesitate waiting for the nexus.

Ima pass on the galaxy 3, cause three months later a better phone will come to sprint with all the LTE bugs fixed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] borkan:
It's just a phone to me. I don't even care about what new ones are coming out because it seems way too expensive to be updating every few months. I can't justify spending that much money that often on a phone.

I stuck with my old phone for two years and can easily live with this phone for two years.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mikeysweet:
I don't mind hearing about the new phones. I've come to an understanding that I will always have the coolest, greatest, best-est thing for 3 months, and then it gets replaced by something better.

The thing to remember is that the hardware doesn't get "old" it's that the software gets "newer". It's the same story with computers. You could have a Pentium computer, running Windows 3.1 and Word 5.0 and it will work like a charm. It's when you decide to try to put Windows 7 on that computer that the hardware fails you.

Our phones are the same. Take all the apps out now that work like a charm with your phone, install them, work with them and your phone should work just as well now as it will in 2 years. It's the fact that new apps come out that demand more from the processor, use the better camera, take advantage of better sound, and now your phone has"aged"

This is just the way the tech industry is. Hence why Moore's law is still in effect

Personally I would much rather know when a new phone is coming so I don't buy a phone a month or 2 before a better phone comes out. And I disagree that a better phone comes out every three months. The GSII came out like a year ago ( and almost a year ago in the US) and its still arguably the best phone out there. The Nexus doesn't have as good as hardware and personally I cannot understand why anyone would downgrade from a SGII to a Nexus, that's beyond me...The Note has a bigger screen and even though I woud like to have one its not worth it with the SGIII almost here. As for the HTC One X it probably is a little better than the SGII but honestly not by much. I think its crazy that HTC's new flagship phone has just about the exact same specs as Samsung's year old phone. What were they thinking (and I like HTC phones but the SGIII will blow it out of the water). So in conclusion if your phone is outdated in 3 months you either bought the phone late after it came out or you bought a crappy phone.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
But see that's part of what I'm talking about. I too am waiting for the SGSIII but we have no idea if it will even make it to Sprint.

I've never waited an entire 2yrs or 22months whatever the limit is to upgrade a phone. I've bought several of mine at full price because I do like shiny new gadgets but only if they are an actual upgrade. For example, I was peeved at wasting an early upgrade on the stupid Evo 3D thinking it was an upgrade from the OG Evo, in my opinion it wasn't and I couldn't wait to drop that stupid phone when the E4GT came out.

Now that I'm getting more comfortable with flashing custom ROMs and themes I can see myself hanging onto my phone for longer than I normally would, heck I've already had it for almost 8 months which is a record for me.

If the SGSIII comes out and Sprint gets it (or a good variation of it) then I'll be all over that, I just hate the months and months of speculation that, for us, usually amounts to jack squat.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brekec88:
I have heard (might be or not be true) from several sources not only will sprint get it but will also get it first in the US. I love changing phones often as well and have been contemplating switching to Att pay as you go or Straighttalk pay as you go. Its only 50 a month for unlimited everything and you can just buy international unlocked phones. Also Att and straittalk(they use Att towers) have faster data speeds. Plus international phones are always release first.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] coldblooded79:
+1 Tried to talk my wife into straight talk myself.. As long as you don't go over 2gb of data you should be good. I must admit it's still tempting.. sell the Epic and get a new GSM nexus for $399:-)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brekec88:
Why the heck would you do that Nexus is a downgrade...Just wait for GS3 and if you can't wait grab the HTC One X for only $150 more than the Nexus, then just sell it for a SG3 if you like more. And Straight talk seems good but was leaning towards Att Go phone $50 plan, you get unlimited EVERYTHING, you just have to activate it in a dumb phone like a motarola Razr and switch the Sim card. I know it sounds to good to be true but ive done research and others on XDA say it works.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrllr:
Hi,

I have read through all the posts regarding bootsound for my rom and others and also other phones and have tried many different options.

I have tried for 5days now trying figure how to get sound to work on boot up.

I have put PowerOn.wav and PowerOn.mp3 and PowerOn.ogg in both the system/etc directory and system/media directory, and no luck hearing sound on boot up.

The volume is set as high as possible, all volumes.

I've also tried android_audio.mp3 and android_audio.wav and android_audio.ogg in both directories and all 6 in data/local too and still nothing.

I have tried with BAC app and still nothing.

I have westcrips Resurrection remix 1.4 and 1.5 kernel supplied. I have also tried thoravukk kernel and nothing.:(

What should I do?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
somethimes after u flash kernels the sound goes off,some kernel support sound an some dont..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thrllr:
bootsound

i thought that might be the case, so i tried it with stock kernel that comes with Westcrips res remix (cm9) and then i flashed thoravukk kernel and tried sound again and still nothing.

Would you know what kernel i could try that actually does support bootsound??

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
If it is CM9 base it wont work. Its to do with the system vold. Samsung run a different system vold, vold.stab and several other files. Better off a samsung based ROM that has been modded to be mostly AOSP.

I will be uploading one very soon, but I am still testing. Bootsound works. it was own of my requirements.

Check out dynamic or anyone in the list of Touchwiz based ROMs even though they may not look TW they will have the required files.

Also siyah kernel seems to support this along with all the other cool stuff like FM radio etc. Use it. It also allows for duel boot systems i.e. you can run two OS and you it supports CM and Samsung which is even better. no need to change kernels at all

I should be getting 80Gig because I am grandfathered into my paid storage. If I ever decide to change my storage plan I will get screwed. Right now I am paying $20/yr for 80 Gig.

Here is the info....

"How to keep your old plan

Google storage plans have changed, but you can stay on your current plan as long as you:

Keep your account active

Keep payment information in Google Wallet accurate and up-to-date

Don’t cancel or upgrade your current plan

If your account lapses, your credit card is declined, or you choose to change your storage plan in any way (upgrade or downgrade), you’ll be switched to the new Google storage plan."

[Acer Iconia A500] Holmes108:
They're talking about specifically when you "submit content"... just like their example of submitting your business for Google Maps. This is different than your stored files. It's not like they are going to access your storage drive, and steal secret patents or anything like that.

You've also linked to the general Google terms, not specifically Google Drive's. That's why the wording is more vague and generic. They are referring to "some" of their services, like Maps, Google+, etc.... Facebook and many other sites that allow you to upload and submit content to public areas have nearly identical terms of service.

Some news sites and bloggers are omitting all of these details though, because then the story isn't as sexy.

Edit: Spelling
[Acer Iconia A500] gammaRascal:
That's exactly right. There's just a ton of hyperbole around their TOS but it's not much different than the others with the bottom line being, you own the content you create - they might use/exploit the content you submit to a service of theirs.

EDIT***

sorry... you grant them permission to use/exploit content you submit to a service of theirs.
[HTC EVO 3D] supernerd2004:
Hi all,

I am the local computer guy for a small business and I have a bit of a problem with a locked HTC EVO 3D. The user has locked their phone via a pattern lock and forgotten their Gmail password. Normally I would wipe the phone and start over but there is some extremely important data that we cannot afford to lose. I am comfortable using ADB to pull files, but I cant seem to find a way to activate the ADB console without first enabling USB debugging. It seems like there should be a way to use ADB from recovery, but I cannot make a connection. I understand this this seems fishy, but you will make my supervisor extremely happy if you can assist in any way.

Completely stock HTC EVO 3D. Unsure of software versions, I will have to assume it is running the latest software.

Thanks so much for your time.

Try installing "Screen Lock Bypass" from Market!

I've had similar issues sir, but this method worked flawlessly! It's a program called Screen Lock Bypass and you can install it through the market via PC using Google login. Here's the description from the market and how to use it:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New improved version which also allows the password or PIN to be reset so you don't have to reset your device can be found here: Screen Lock Bypass Pro

Screen Lock Bypass has been used by tens of thousands of people to successfully unlock their device after they forgot their password, pattern, or PIN.

Instructions:

1) Login to the web based Android Market.

2) Install this application to your registered device.

3) Then install any other application you wish, it will trigger this application to run and the Screen Lock will be disabled.

Notes:

This application will also run each time the device is booted so you can always bypass the lock screen.

This application does not remove or reset your pattern/PIN, it only temporarily disables the lock screen so you can access your device and backup your data before resetting it.

To remove Screen Lock Bypass, open the application and click Uninstall.

This method will not work on certain devices, but give it a go, it is free after all!

Hope this helps!!
