Guys I was going through my galaxy tab 10.1 forum and I discussed it with one of the developers and he told me to flash a pit file he had a similar problem. I am not sure what he meant is there a pit file as well?

This is a bit confusing where can i find a heidall flashable firmware?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] phenom43:
and it doesnt say install driver but it says replace driver. I couldn't find the device either what should i do? It just list MSMx86 USB camera.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeypaws:
Well heimdall is like odin but the location where you place the .tar.md5 file is different. Also, if your phone is jist reading it as a camera that could be the issue. Have you tried reinstalling the drivers or trying a separate computer. Do you have a windows or mac? And was OS version.

Or if you dont feel comfortable with heindall here is the link to the toolkit i was mentioning but ts not by starskybob. Heres the link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1650908.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] maxesxp:
last night, my i booted up my phone, and it said sd card damaged. i didnt pay that much attention to it then, bcuz i always take my external sd card out wen it is mounted as mnt/emmc (im using cm7, so it gives me this option), and then it doesnt read for a few days. this morning, i realized that it was my internal sd card (because i can access my external storage), and half my apps are gone, so i decided to format it. i pressed format, it deleted my data and then it gave me a notification saying sd card is now safe to remove. i rebooted my phone, now its stuck in a bootloop. i can get into cwm, but it says E:cant mount /cache/recovery/command

E:cant mount /cache/recovery/log

E:cant open /cache/recovery/log

E:cant mount /cache/recovery/last_log

E:cant open /cache/recovery/last_log

i tried using the g2x cleanup batch, then reflashed everything, but that took me back to sqaure one.

im guessing that im goin to be needing a new phone right? if so, what could i hav possibly done to get myself into this mess?

You will need to root your phone again and reinstall CWM, in the future backup your SD card to PC every week. Make sure to replace your SD card with anew one

What did you do to fix it? I've had the same problem now for a bit and I can flash a new rom or reflash stock and get back to a CM7 ROM but after a bit the internal SD card craps out and "Damaged SD Card" shows up again. What did you find to fix it?

[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] foreverAshamed:
Hello xda,

After a few weeks with my rooted nook touch, I have come to realize how annoying the DRAG TO UNLOCK screen is. Is there any way to skip this and go straight from screensaver to homescreen/book/whatever-you-were-doing? Already scoured the google and this forum and can't find anything.

Thanks in advanced! :)
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] N23:
yeah, that would be nice if the lockscreen/screensaver could be completely disabled!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] fatfishycell:
I use No Lock by BoD http://www.appbrain.com/app/org.jraf.android.nolock It has a widget for toggling the lockscreen too. I use it on all my android devices that don't have a rom with it built in. I wasn't sure if it would work with the nook touch but it works like a charm. I'd be nice to have a custom rom for the touch that has it built in. Maybe if cm7 gets running on it.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] IndyRoadie:
Thank you!
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Psychopoddy:
The problem of this utility is that it's always running as service and take some resources.

If I kill it from services keylock starting to work.

Think must be another ways - smth like disable lock in sys settings via adb.
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] OverByter:
If you're rooted with nook manager just use the nook touch mod manager and under the configure mod option you can disable the drag to unlock and also have a customized banner with your name and number below.

OB
[Nook Touch Themes and Apps] Mikey1969:
I know this is an old thread, and the Nook Touch Mod Manager fix DOES work if you have it installed, but as someone who just recently re-enabled the two part unlock, let me just mention that it is actually a useful feature. I don't know how many times I have pulled my Nook out to a random page, or random menu selection because the button got bumped whole it was in my pocket. Luckily, no random changes happened that were irreversible. It would really have sucked if I had managed to out it in black text on a black background, for example, and knowing my luck, it's amazing that I didn't.

So that's my two cents' worth. You can disable it, but it is actually quite useful, and speaking from experience, I recommend against doing it.
[General Questions and Answers] d4005:
I'm getting an error when I try and ugprade my Android version. I'll start with the history and spec first:

Google Nexus One, bought in April 2010, it had Eclair (2.1) on it. I wanted Froyo 2.2 (for the hotspot/tethering) but the update delays being what they were I ended up rooting it, getting clockworkmod, and installing CyanogenMod 6 (based on 2.2). It's been the same ever since and I've been happy with it. It's only because a month or two ago it stopped being able to update any of the apps that I'm even wanting to upgrade, otherwise I'd be happy with CM6. I can no longer update or even search for apps. If I can't go back to plain Android because I've gone CyanogenMod, that's fine, I'll just go for a newer version of it.

I'm not wanting to live on the bleeding edge with ICS4 on this old-timer (yes I've heard it runs but with bugs), so if I can, I'll go for a plain vanilla Gingerbread 2.3.3.

I downloaded 2.3.3 from here and renamed it update.zip and put it in the root of my SD card. I shut the phone down and then followed the instructions I found here.

It seemed like it would be easy, but I'm getting this error after choosing "Apply sdcard: update.zip". After the error I show two screenshots of how I got to that point.

For anyone with the same issue, you could have posted the solution here.Dont promote other sites.

I think the problem was with the file.

Sometimes the browsers get bugged and they dont download the whole package.

I have had this error a couple of times and re-downloading the rom fixed the solution.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
I just read a little bit ago that the motorola cliq 2 just got Gingerbread after a year and four months of no updates at all. Do you think this means we have a chance for GB or just a tease that one old phone gets special support and not the others? And if we got true ginger would it help with the ROM/Mod nation or would it just be putting sparkles on the corpse of our phone?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
Probably not. That news inst super recent, and motorola supports their phones a little bit better then samsung. If we get gingerbread it will be through the community more than likely.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Darn, got my hopes up for nothing :/ Oh and sorry for not noticing the ginger thread you just posted.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
Nah its all good bro its all a hypathetical thread really anyways.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
Motorola is different from Samsung pushing update wise.

This phone has passed a year so Samsung no longer supports it.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Reviewers:
I smell Jin ;-)

He's not acting like a prick you are now be gone pls.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Okay, off of the argument is there any chance of a custom made Ginger or is it hypothetical or? I've seen a few people tweaking kernels and such in their threads but Is there a real answer or is it just maybe?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Gingerbread on Sidekick is currently only hypothetical. My take is that it might still be possible, but very difficult.

Sduvick managed to boot an AOSP 2.2 kernel up to a certain point, but IIRC, it was still far from usable. No graphics. His work is available in github.

Winxixi got CM7 booting and into the GUI, but with incomplete driver support. I think he got frustrated and left. His work is also available in github.

I don't know if winxixi would consider continuing development, or if he has moved on to a different device. If he would continue development, and the rest of us helped with troubleshooting, research, etc., perhaps we can get a fullly operational Gingerbread.

It's really just a big project, very difficult for an individual to tackle to completion. Dividing the labor might improve the outlook.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
actually cm6 is being ported as we speak, piece by piece.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Yes, it's being ported using the machete toolchain. :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
What's the Machete Toolchain? And is CM going to help us get a little farther up the Droid food chain? I mean I don't expect Jelly Bean on my phone but Ginger, or a ginger mock up would be cool, I would like some kind of exploit for the ICS exclusive apps and such to make it a bit smooth (I know It's a basically unattainable dream don't worry :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
It's a bit of a joke. Machete like this: http://images.google.com/search?q=machete+blade&btnG=Search&tbm=isch&hl=en&biw=&bih=&gbv=1

I.e. he's hacking off pieces Touchwiz as though with a knife.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
I think CM6 will if not help, atleast give hope towards CM7 coming to this device.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
Honestly I'd be thrilled if we gained a vanilla, built-from-source CM6 ROM, especially if the sources/patches were made fully available.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Its a little more involved then that. Lots of AOSP/CM6 patches to replace the Touchwiz components. Piece by piece im riding the stock rom of Touchwiz. I had to compile and mingle code to get AOSP messaging working correctly.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
I know, but the machete image fits better with my feelings toward Touchwiz.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] kideskimo:
ditto.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
is it working with our LED's now?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
This device is super unique when it comes to the LED lighting. NO other device has this kind of LED setup. So I have no device that is all AOSP to compile it from.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
thats what i figure. aosp tries to send a green LED signal out, and we have no green :mad:
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Sakuryu:
Why can the charge led be green but the right not?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ReActiveDisorder:
Wow...I seriously lost ALL respect for Tmobile and Sammy on this device. Green LED is like the standard android color and they left it out.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] nxd:
I think one reason why the LED control is so unusual is that it has multiple LEDs for different colors, rather than a single RGB LED. Not saying it's a GOOD reason.

I'll takes look at the GPIO assignments and see if I can grok the kernel interface. Perhaps I can arrange for a kernel with a more typical interface.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
yea wouoda def. been nice if they included green.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yogi2010:
wait, the device does do green led, when your battery is approaching fully charged, right? or is that something different? how does this come into play? or is the point that you can't select green for any other notifications?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] yoyowhatup22:
i hadnt thought of that, is there a way to make the messaging app to recognise it as its notification led?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Roundtableprez:
Handcent can control that led.

Busybox

I would install Busybox and update.....also, when you save to Titanium Backup maybe your installing to a partitioned drive on your card? or maybe your encrypting your backups?...check that too

I use Titanium Backup all the time and flash constantly. I have a HTV EVO 4G (Wife) and HTC EVO 3D (me). I have never used encryption myself but just guessing
[General Questions and Answers] orellius:
Thanks a bunch, got it fixed. Not sure what the fix was. But I installed latest busybox, then went into troubleshoot settings and enabled the force system busybox, and the gingerbread zip bug and symbolic links settings, and voila all my 60 backups showed up and I was able to restore them. Gingerbread setting had nothing to do with it I assume, was just pressing buttons

Unfortunately I didn't check after each tweak, so I don't know what fixed it, ill do that next time I wipe and see what the fix is.

I did not have encryption on thouh, so that wasn't it.
[General Questions and Answers] orellius:
New for May 24, 2012

In case any other retard like myself runs into this problem, like I did today, AGAIN like last week, and it really pissed me off this time too because I wasted an hour figuring it out.

Titanium Backup lists all apps in its folder as "uninstalled" when you do stuff like SuperWipe and flash a new ROM. But the default "filter" is "user", with "uninstalled" NOT checked.

Well yeah, you'd want to check that off to see the apps in the folder after a wipe and not be a retard like me :p

I mean, really, to me its a user app, so I didnt even notice the "uninstalled" button. I knew it was there, but just never associated it with my issue. GRRR!
[General Questions and Answers] cbnuthak:
Thanks for this. I couldn't figure out why it was saying that there were no apps to restore. Not sure which version you were using, but in my current version under filters, I had to uncheck user and system, and check uninstalled only before I could see my old backups.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innomi:
Hello all.

im having a small question or comment.

I was just thinking if it isnt easyer to split the android development forum into GB roms and ICS roms.

why i figured this?

well since i am using GB roms untill they make ics better than what it is right now.

i am always searching for the GB roms in the forum.

often its hard to see what type of rom it will be. since not all devs write in the title what rom it is.

its just an idear to make searching for the perfect rom somewhat easyer.

thats the only comment i can think of making here :P so lol.

that must show how good this forum allready is :-)

noob number fifty with exact same post .

Answer is NO . Two reasons one GB roms will start to die off now and the other reason if you cannot work out what's what then you should not be flashing roms .

Roms

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innomi:
Seriously?

Just instantly calling me a noob Just for asking a question?

Yeah i agree that most of them have ics or gb in the header.

I was Just contributing to make it easyer to navigate True the roms. Since around 10-20 % does not have gb or ics in header.

And its surtainly not because i am lazy. Its Just more easy to search for a rom.

But hey its Just a comment from me. A simple no + reason is good enough for me. No need for calling someone a noob and saying hè should not flash etc.

And btw.

Gb dying off? 63% of Android users still use gb.

As gb is still superiour over ics in stability speed battery easyness etc. There are so many People Who dont wanna switch to ics.

And for comment on why i should use ics.

I use gb simply cause its still far more stable and far more battery friendly.

On the Day that ics Will give me more bat then gb and has all the bugs out of it. i Will switch to ics.

Peace.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaze105:
Seems like you havent tried out ICS for a while then. I havent had single force close or problem with any ICS roms here. If I had a problem, it had to do with the app not being optimized for ICS instead of the rom. I havent seen any wide spread problem with ICS roms.

More battery? underclock and undervolt and I get around 2-3 days with moderate usage. I dont get any more even when I was on GB.

This is not the general android section of xda, but the i9100 section. If you havent checked, most i9100 have gotten ICS making the percentage you provided rather useless.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] innomi:
Yup.

I have lately :)

I do flash alot on my Phones.

And i even test ics next to gb (2 Samsung galaxy s2 Phones here)

Last week i tried 8 ics roms.

But direct compared to gb roms they lag.

The schroling speed of gb is much faster.

The time it takes to start up a game is in gb much faster.

Ive had both of ics and gb jnderclocked in almost same setting for as far as possible. And ics is Just draining!

Ofcourse dif roms give dif results.

But none of the ics is as stable or quick or battery friendly as my gb rom now.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crachel:
Ok guys, as has been mentioned, the Administrators have been presented with this idea a while back and they have not acted on it. So, at this point, probably not going to happen, especially with GB on its way out.

As launches go, other than the Teg3 graphics issues (flickering), it hasn't been that bad. Most of the major issues have been addressed between 1.29.07 and 1.29.11 and supposedly there's another update to follow. Rather than compare the phone to "perfect," compare it to other high-end phone launches. You'll see it's not as bad as a lot of people are making it out to be.
[HTC One X] DANOFDANGER:
What does this mean ?, do we not have ICS kernel or something ??.
[HTC One X] BarryH_GEG:
No we don't. No Teg3 device is on a ICS kernel yet. It's up to Nvidia to do the heavy lifting.
[HTC One X] DANOFDANGER:
Will they ever do this ?, wouldn't this provide some heavy fixes and peformance boosts ??.
[HTC One X] BenPope:
Probably not.

We have 2.6.39, the first ICS was based on 3.0.1., or if they hadn't had a massive pointless renumbering, would have been called 2.6.41.

I guess the reason people haven't moved up is because in mainline they started moving all the arm specific files around and consolidating features between the different architectures. This will make it easier in the future, but merging changes when all the files have moved is a ballache.
