I do not prefer the screen to wake via the volume buttons, and several of the ROMs available have that feature enabled.

I was informed by an esteemed member about where to change this setting if you are interested in simply enabling the feature. It requires root and a root capable file explorer
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] bugsih:
Id sure like to know how to enable this feature.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
I was recommended to use es file explorer, because it's easier to use to mount the /system as writeable.

Open explorer of choice and make sure it can find the root directory, and make sure that the /system path is mounted as writeable or r/w, depending on the app. Superuser will get involved and then you can go up to the highest file tier. Find the path system>usr>keylayout and find file sec_key.kl

Click to open as text and use a text editor. The first two lines are -volume_up & volume_down. if they are not followed by a space and the word 'wake' enter it.

the menu button should provide a save option. As far as I know this will wake the screen by volume buttons regardless of anything else.

Now that I go through the motions, this may only wake the screen when something is playing; music or video.

Anyway, I hope you can figure something out.

Since my power does not function I had to depend on the volumes to wake my phone.

Hi. Is there an apk for the camera that has the button to switch from the front facing to the rear facing camera with just one click, without leaving the camera application.

While in camera on my Droid Razr Maxx and HTC Sensation there is a button on the screen to switch from camera to video and from front to rear-facing. Is there a camera for the Evo 4G that its the same way?

[Motorola Droid and Milestone Q&A, Help & Troublesh] dstruct2k:
Does the phone still say "CONNECT USB DATA CABLE" even when a cable is connected? If so, try another cable/USB port/PC.

If you've tried at least 2 cables, 2 PCs, and more than 1 USB port on each PC, then you might want to contact your provider for warranty options. They'd never know you rooted/flashed it in this state, as the code on the device is corrupted and sending you straight to the bootloader.

[Acer Iconia A500] v1perfan:
Hi All,

So I'm tired of my stock 3.2.1 flipping between the "Your Device is Up to Date" and "Poor Network Coverage" messages when checking for the ICS update.

I current have:

Acer_A500_7.014.14_COM_GEN1

Through this wonderful forum, I downloaded:

Acer_A500_7.014.14_041.203.01_COM_GEN1_1333444737199_8ec8b991.zip

I found out it was encrypted, so I downloaded the Acer decrypting tool and unzipped it.

So with that said, I have a few questions:

1) Will this release of ICS work with my current device?

2) If yes, how do I update my stock 3.2.1 to ICS? Do I need to root it before I can update it, or can I simply copy the update to an SD/USB Stick and update from there?

3) Do I need to decrypt the install, or can I use the encrypted version?

Or should I simply stop being so damn impatient and just wait for the OTA?

Thanks.

Have you been back to the Market (Play Store) and installed the recent Enhancement Update to the Acer Update Readiness Tool? Should allow you to connect to those "lazy" servers.
[Acer Iconia A500] scubapro10:
Hello,

I just did the manual install to ICS myself that way:

1) dowload the ICS update you mentionned

2) decrypt the zip with the acer decrypt tool

3) only extract the update.zip in the decripted zip to the root of the external sd

4) shutdown the tablet and restart it pressing both power + volume dow button which start the update automatically

Ps: a good thing is that this update does not wipe existing intalled apps or existing data

Hope this helps
[Acer Iconia A500] sakurasyaoran:
is this the official ics rom update

Is this the official rom update to is?
[Acer Iconia A500] scubapro10:
Yes, i believe so since my tablet was never and is not rooted.

This is what I see in the settings

Android version: 4.0.3

[Acer Iconia A500] v1perfan:
Thanks.....I tried it, and the process appeared to start ok. But after about 30 seconds the Android robot showed up with an exclamation point in a triangle.

So maybe this update was not for my system. I guess I'll just be patient and wait for the OTA upgrade.

(and yes, I do have the tab enhancement installed in case anyone is wondering).
[Acer Iconia A500] scubapro10:
Forgot to mention, just before updating to ICS, i tried to use another 3.2 stock rom to see if OTA was working better, so maybe this update to the other 3.2 rom is also necessary. The 3.2 stock rom i've used is this one: Acer_A500_7.006.01_COM_GEN2 available in this post: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1113878

Do you have the update.zip file only. Its hard for me to decrypt it. My laptop recognize it as a virus the decrypt file I mean.

[Acer Iconia A500] v1perfan:
*** FIXED!!!!!! ***

I found out the SD card type is VERY IMPORTANT!!!

When I initially tried to install the ICS update from a generic SD card I would get the robot / exclamation / triangle error (I was using a Patriot 8GB SDHC Class 4 card).

I then tried using a Sandisk 2GB MicroSD card - UPDATE SUCCESSFUL!

I didn't have to use a Stock 3.2.1 image or anything - I just went straight to 4.0.3.

My new build number is ACER_AV041_A500_1.031.00_WW_GEN1 with Android version 4.0.3 of ICS goodness. :D

Thanks to everyone who gave me ideas and who posted on other sites!

EDIT - So I installed it, but then I had the dreaded DHCP-Wifi reboot problem. I fixed it by doing a factory reset, and all is good.

hi scuba just been talking to acer and if you get bad connection on screen they say do a factory reset but i am waiting for a good signal cause a factory reset will wipe the lot and if u have 50 odd apps then you will be in for a long haul reinstalling also the ics firmware update will be rolling out after may 1st as it was put back do to bug fixing and they wanna get u.k devices up and running with no hitch also the playstore app people insist on downloading will force close apps and the tab will go crazy and then you have to reinstall apps ect i have heard so many tales dont do it unless you want to also this bootloader root thing dont do it man it will either make the tab useless and invalidate your warranty if u still have 1 many thanks ps i will wait for the ics firmware and do a system update from the tab cya happy days

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webmaster:
I am currently using a Sensation, however I will likely be purchasing a GNEX in the next week or two. I have become accustomed to flashing different ROMs on my Sensation so I wanted to know if a stable (not nightly) version of CM9 was currently available for this device. I checked on the CM site and its a bit hard to determine what is nightly vs stable, so I figured I would ask around here. Thanks in advance, and I hope to be joining the discussions on this forum soon!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
no phones have a non-nightly version. NO RC1 version has came out for CM9 regardless of what phone it is.

aokp is really stable + more features than cm9.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alteredmass:
Cm9 is stable and fast.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eyekyu:
nightly is VERY!!!! stable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] webmaster:
What features are noteworthy that distinguish the two ROMs?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alteredmass:
Cm9 doesn't have many extra features ... AOKP has too many features
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
Pretty much what he said. Go through the roms features and change log and you can answer that question on your own.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
CM9 newest nightly is always the best f it is newer than RC!

on ZTE Blade I flash always the newest nightly of CM7... :)

Does GN CM9 Nightly (newest) use the Android 2.3 Gingerbread CM7 music player? If I remember fine then it is using that.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Please, use CM9 AND DONT USR AOKP! We don't need another thread about someone complaining about something not working or horrible battery drain...etc...etc. CM9 is leaps and bounds faster and more stable.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cowsquad:
I disagree, AOKP is very stable. It has many features. Don't take what people says. Its about personal preference
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DeezNotes:
I came from the Sensation and while Vorbeth did a nice job with Opensensation, the nightly CM9 I'm running is VERY excellent. The only bugs I saw when I skimmed thru the thread were with people trying to run custom kernels.

And to be honest, the stock ROM was kicking ass too. There's nothing like having a phone that's truly open to unlock and have fun with. Plus, there are no bugs with certain components usually found in phones with sense or touchwiz. Bluetooth, camera, video recording and HD playback WORK exactly the way they're supposed to.

From this point forward, I will only buy a nexus device. I'm not trying to convince you, just giving my honest opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
That's your own personal opinion the rom has been stable since it's release for me.

hello, i am new to xda.. so please forgive me if i stated a wrong question or in the wrong section or even repeat the question as i couldnt get a fully satisfying solution searching the forum. i cant post directly in the developer section as i dont yet have access to it...so i posted in the QnA section.

so i have xperia x8 with stock kernel and i have flashed a custom rom PrimeHD v6.0 after reading thoroughly all the requirements and procedures.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1480404

and then i had installed a tweak for cm7 roms: jimdemdroid

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1379754

now the thing is i want to upgrade the present custom rom ie v6.0 to v7.0

but i am kind of unsure how to do it correctly.. i mean i know how to do it through the recovery.. but my questions are:

1. do i have to again factory reset/full wipe the phone again??..

2. do i have to clear all caches.. like the dalvik cache etc.. [i read it somewhere you have to delete all the caches]

3. will the applications INSTALLED on my external storage be affected if at all i require a full wipe?

4. since i have flashed jimdemdroid tweak, do i have to do full wipe in this case?.. ie if otherwise the wipe isnt required or so..

5. a detailed step by step instruction would be very appreciated!!

some off the topic questions..[just didnt want to open a new thread for these]

1. do i actually need the jimdemdroid tweak [even the lite version] on primehd mod.. as i dont see much difference except the bravia engine.. no to mention the dsp manager doesnt work now due to xloud drivers..

2. i had selected the install location in the cyanogenmod application settings to external. ie the apps shud now go to the sdcard.. but my internal storage now also gets filled.. and also in the normal application settings->manage applications-> i still find a 'move to sd card' button active.. if i already have installed the apps in the external storage [which also gets filled obviously] then that option shudnt be there.. or faded w/e..
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubr3g:
i was on 6.0 (stock kernel) and i upgraded to 7.0 today

everything is working perfectly for me, even the wifi wich doesn't work on custom kernels work perfect.

if you ask me, i would remove jimdemdroid, because there is no big difference with or without it

i didn't wiped anything, and i used titanium backup for backuping everything (messages, contacts, bookmarks, calendars, apps) just in case
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superuser_:
install and reboot only..

no need full wipe

The new update it will wipe your current system,with any changes made by you..e.x this tweak,but not your data

So

if you want it you must install it again(the tweak package..)

we clear the dalvik when we have incompatibles with apps

And also if we have force close with a app we delete in data/data /the file of this and reinstall it
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayank77:
Answer to your questions :

1. A full wipe is always recommended to avoid any type of possible bugs/errors.

2. Once you do a full wipe , clearing dalvik cache etc is NOT required

3. android.secure (applications on SD card) is formatted

4. Full wipe after flashing the tweak is not required. However if you face some problems/errors , do a full wipe

5. Just gave you the answers

Off topic answers :

1. PrimeHD is already stable enough. As such the tweak is not required.

2. When an application is moved to SD card , only some part is shifted to the SD card. The whole application is NOT transferred to the SD card. Did you try to click on the "Move to SD card" option. Probably your app wasn't even installed to the SD card in the first place.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhavneesh:
thank you all for your replies..

ok so i get it like this

1. download primehdv7.0 files and move it to sdcard

2. reboot into cwm recovery

3. do a full wipe [optional- just to eliminate bugs by mere chance- though it will remove my messages contacts on internal storage and apps on external storage]

4. install zip from sdcard

5. reboot and done!

please confirm the above thing.. thank you.. and yes one more thing... if i dont do a full wipe.. do i require to remove caches and stats .. if yes.. then please mention all of them..

and @mayank77 for the offtopic answer.. i get it about the partial move of apps to sd... but i also read about the permanent solution to move complete app to sd.. ie via sdk manager following steps to setInstallLocation to 2 (external) via cmd using adb

but recently i tried this method on my friends mobile which is android 2.2 galaxy fit and it doesnt seems to work.. i rechecked the install location by pm getinstalllocation and it says there external.. but then too the internal storage was getting filled... now i suspected this method also as a partial moving to sd.. but no.. the whole app was installed in the phone memory.. any suggestions to that??

First of all welcome to xda yeah for the clean installation of romm what u need to do is

1 WIPEdata/factory reset

2 wipe cache partion

3 in advance option wipe dalvik cache and wipe battery stats

this are the steps for clean installation

but i do not insists on upgrading the rom always do a clean installation

and for moving app2sd there is brilliant app called link2sd on the google play store it moves the complete app and dalvik cache too but for that u need to partion your sd card to ext3 or ext4 based on the app i am using ext4 partion

and partion can be done via two methods in built recovery or by the help of pc app windows miniwizard partion tool search for partion tutuorial on xda

good luck and if ur trying to unlock ur bootloader if aware of reading the stickies in the general section

flashtool is used in the case of soft bricking or flashing the kernels not for flashing roms

instead do a clean install rather then upgrade my openion though:)
