[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepxl:
I tried your suggestion and it worked but it wasn't the method I used ladt time round, only problem is, when I restore my GB backup before I flashed ICS the market still thinks I'm on ICS yet when factory reset it works.

There is no differece with the backup compared to the format as I done the backup before any ICS related things were done, so I don't understand why the market thinks I'm on ICS with the GB backup.

Try recovery mode and clear cache, and delete data from it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pepxl:
Yeah, already tried sevetal times, on other forums people say to wait until the market refreshes itself after doing quick flashes one after the other, apparently it fixes itself between 30mins to 2 days or so once play recognises your final Android version.

CM9 is pretty good to if you want ICS on your DX2. I was using it on my X and loved it. Then my X crapped on me by the ear piece speaker going dead and Verizon is sending me a X2 for replacement. Will be putting CM9 on my X2 when it arrives.

Any one used Eclipse? How good is it?
[Motorola Droid X2] coolpoete:
Eclipse is probably the best problem-free ROM right now. Very good and very stable. I personally like CM7 the best because of the level of customizations it includes. You have a lot more control and settings readily available to you. CM7 does have a bit of a Wi-Fi bug that makes it less than perfect but I still prefer it over Eclipse. Some would say CM9-A5 is good enough as a daily driver but for me battery life and multiple random reboots keep me from using it as a daily driver.
[Motorola Droid X2] Juice3250:
I was on eclipse for about a week then I decided to switch over to cm7.2. I'll never go back to eclipse. I found that I still had a lack of memory comparable to stock. Once I switched to cm7, I have a lot more ram available and it runs smoother. I've only noticed the wifi issue and a few app fc every once in a while. A quick reboot fixes the app fc. Reboot is literally less than a minute. Also, love the customization with cm7.

eclipse 2.3

I used cm7.2 rc 1&2. I used cm 9 & 10. I went back to eclipse because of stability and added adw launcher to make a fake 4.1+ aosp face on it. flash and dolphin browser seem to work better and Netflix works as well. just my experience have fun with all the flashing!
[Motorola Droid X2] Juice3250:
I have found that I don't really miss flash being on cm7. I tried cm10 a2 but there were too many bugs and it was slow. Eclipse with adw used too much of my ram and wasn't as smooth. Any hints on how to make eclipse run smoother and not use as much ram? I do love adw ex using eclipse more than the adw launcher on cm7 because there are more options with it being a newer version.
[Motorola Droid X2] Not_A_Dev:
Maybe Eclipse with a combo of Holo launcher and V6 Supercharger. Works great for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] Lorenzo VonMatterhorn:
the launcher 2 that comes with eclipse uses the same amount of ram. varying by 1 or 2. just saying. i use the new adw with elcipse and i have no lag. i also dont really use widgets and such though, as our phone cant really handle it.

also, just to metion, on CM7 , superuser will either stop working randomly in the middle of tasks, or just not work to begin with. i found this frustrating enough to just stick with eclipse. eclipse leaves everything functioning. and has themed swype! the old 3.26 ! just sayin. :cowboy:

I am brand new to the flashing game. Gave up a night's sleep a couple of nights ago because I was frustrated with my X2 and will have it for another year.

I just went strait for CM10 for daily use. I am finding it adequate but buggy.

What I LOVE is the way the contacts work now. I am a heavy group texter for volunteer groups and work. I find the contact interface worth the work around for FB and GoogleNow and loss of NetFlix.

I was wondering if I flashed to eclipse or CM7 is their an app or way to use my contacts with the same that comes with JB? Is there a way to save the format of my contacts from CM10?

It will take me a while to sbf stock and flash to Eclipse or CM7, lol.

Hello all!

Seems a basic question and I did a search around, but didn't find a exact answer.

I have a Samsung Exhibit II 4G/T679 which came with carrier's ROM. So lots of undesired applications and some blocks (tethering, for example).

Instead of going to a modified ROM (which can be an alternative, of course), I'm wondering if there is available anywhere the official ROM release by Samsung for this model. Since there is the unlocked model from Samsung, I assume there is a official ROM from them (carrier independent).

Does anybody know where to download this official ROM?

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
If I am not mistaken, no. But we have some great Roms for this phone check them out. Trust me you don't want stock.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ijrr:
Thanks for your answer!

I wanted the stock mainly because some applications that I use explicitly say they don't run on "rooted or moded roms". So installing one of those customs roms would prevent me from using those applications. Maybe installing the stock one released by Samsung (on unlocked phones) the application would accept that.

Any idea or suggestion?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ijrr:
Seems obvious, but link was not so easy to find...

Here is the stock ROM for this model (attention: not carrier shipped, but manufactured shipped, rooted):

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Exhibit_II_4G#Flash_Back_to_Stock

In my case it's still not the right solution since I have a carrier-shipped ROM and I would need to have this ROM back if they need to provide any service.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] kingdavidd:
How is it not the right solution?
[Miscellaneous Android Development] winterstormhaku:
What applications are you trying to keep on stock ROM that you're convinced won't work on a custom ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ijrr:
Because my phone has the carrier-custom ROM, not the clean manufacture one.

So if I have to send the phone back to carrier, they will notice the ROM was changed. This one I couldn't find...

I'm thinking about using CWM Recovery to backup the ROM. But... then the CWM will replace original Recovery System, so it's a signal that ROM was changed too...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] ijrr:
It's my office app. Somehow they have explicit lock on custom or rooted phones (maybe for security). I already tried to install on another moded phone and it doesn't work. Only with factory or recognized ROMS.

I don't know how they identify that... but it happens!

I have ran around on the internet finding no obvious solution and I was wondering if anyone has done this before. I have a Galaxy Nexus with some Sims Freeplay data on it and I am wanting to somehow copy the data to a different device running ICS. I've tried copying data via Titanium backup but when I install it on my other device (Infuse running CM9) it does not save my Sim data. Is there a file outside of the usual location for saving that Titanium Backup isn't seeing, or is it stored on EA's servers?

If anyone figures this out, I'll make a guide.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
Usually for games the save data and other data files are located in /sdcard/Android/data/<app directory>.

For SIMS freeplay, it should be in /sdcard/Android/data/com.ea.games.simsfreeplay/

Copy that whole folder and put it at the same location in the new device, and you should have all the saved data.

Titanium Backup saves the app data from /data/data/<app directory>, which is usually stuff like preferences, databases and libraries. The other data like any external downloaded data, save data, thumbnails (for a gallery app) etc. are stored on the SD card and won't be backed up by Titanium Backup and other backup apps.

Anyone know how to get those widgets to use a layout other than the long, thin stripe when using Apex?

use Quickpic for gallery; significantly better than stock gallery, regardless of OS version!

As for weather widget, here's something to try:

Go to Apex Settings, Advanced settings, then uncheck "resize any widget"

see if the switch to conventional ICS resizing will change the Accuweather widget behaviour...
