[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roots:
If you go back read first few posts..

In tb the update.zip function used to restore tb only from cwm.. Or you can create an update.zip in order to restore/update something in your rom (as in your case when you installed aokp you also flashed update zip)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
An update.zip is flashable file, this can be a rom, theme or apps.

there is a update.zip on your SD-card, this is your costum recovery(cwm) do not remove or rename this file

No, clearing cache or dalvik cache nor factory reset will affect TB. or it's data.

And wipe cache + dalvik is a good thing to do once in a while.

Factory reset is is done i u flash a new rom or have trouble with your phone, lag,slow or other problems

Usually this is caused by some app or settings. Then do a factory reset,if u can't find the problem
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roots:
But can update.zip file be created where all my apps are inside or compressed inside..??

So when I flash new rom can I flash that update.zip file (after renaming it) in order to restore my apps..?? "Yes I'm aware of tb batch one click restore..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zodiaxe66:
No, not with TB but u can extract and restore apps from your cwm(nandroid) backups.

check out the APP2ZIP,that can do do exactly what u are looking for,make a flashable zip with your apps and settings.u can find it here on xda and in play store.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_rox101:
regarding on the topic

Im just newbie on android and i have intentionally delete the folder App on my system files thinking that it was just a back up file

and my android phone just stock on boot up!

I have to same android phone

rooted

is it possible to make an TB update zip containing the system app on my other android phone and

flash it on the broken one using the CWM?

:confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dal8moc:
No. It isn't that simple. While you could install titanium backup with the update . zip the phone still won't boot. And you need a running system to even start tb.

So you would need the Rom you were using. Flash that first and flash the tb update.zip afterwards. Then you will get a rom with tb already installed.

From there you can start to restore apps you hopefully have backed up before...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roots:
Yes.. It's all there as long as you don't wipe or format sd card. (tb data folder)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faiyo:
Reviving this to add that last month tb added support for update.zip which holds all backups.

Theres 2 now:

1. settings > update.zip is a flashable zip with only tb

2. batch > recovery update.zip is a flashable zip with all backups

Everyone should be using one of these two methods to ensure u have the latest tb to restore from (since roms are always out of date), or to restore everything straight in recovery.

Can someone tell me where offline books are located in the Google Books app? Trying to see if i can convert and use a different reader not a fan of this app
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kpost:
Tried most of the ereader apps out. Overdrive media lets you directly check ebooks out from your local library. My personal favorite is gobook(s) best interface and easy import. Overdrive is great for downloading books though and also has a good interface. As for google books i searched for ever for where the offline books are stored, never did find it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] oldgreyhouse:
Google book - offline location

Hi, the location of your Google book, the original downloaded files, are here:

Android/data/com.google.android.apps.books/files/accounts/your Google account/volumes/gobbledygook name of folder/ res2, segments, cover, cover_thumbnail.

I went to Google Play to review my purchase. Under the tab 'How To Read', I downloaded the epub version of my book. The DRM protected epub file will only open in my Adobe Digital Editions on my comp though....:rolleyes:

Hope this helps ^..^

I've been trying to use the all in one tool kit but it never seem to work I'm pretty sure its this prehistoric computer we are currently using until we get our laptop fixed any other methods to unlock the hboot 1.45.0013? Or to require s-off
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
Have you even searched development? Or was it just to easy to come and start a new thread with this same question asked?
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] imxsteezin:
I've been looking for a week straight I know I can do it with the toolkit its just tht my computer I'm using now was a old one with a virus so the files I download never work properly
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I have an old tower that had a virus too, but I can compile kernels.

Also there is an s-off method that requires a wire trick or you could bootloader unlock VIA HTC unlock tool then flash cwm and Su
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] imxsteezin:
What is the simplest thing I can use for the wire trick
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] Coug76:
Wire bread wrapper tie. Maybe a small paper clip and a piece of whatever tape iss handy.

Hastily spouted for your befuddlement
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] strapped365:
I'm sure that thread has instructions and different post from different users saying what they have used, I just got woke up and this is my first post of the day, so I'm going to be a ****, do you even read any thread you enter? Or do you leave it up to developers to hold your hand all the way through? I honestly don't know how this device has any devs seeing the dumb things I've seen lately, makes me want to pull the current things I've done and just do private things
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] yellowjacket1981:
I can feel your frustration, but let's try to keep it friendly. I will say it seems like once a week someone starts a thread like this, when I know the directions are available, because I used them to root my bf's insurance replacement phone that had the new bootloader. I know the info is there, and I took the time to read and do my research, so I would know what I was doing, and not look like an idiot.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] onebornoflight:
We were all n00bs once upon a time lol - I might still be honestly because this phone has hung me up compared to the ease that was my old G1. However the way I did mine was:

1. Unlock the bootloader using the process at htcdev.com (there is an awesome "all things root" guide I found via google). Download the latest CWM and Superuser zip from somewhere Jall over the internet lol.)

2. Flash latest Clockworkmod recovery via fastboot.

3. Reboot into recovery and flash superuser zip via CWM.

At this point you are rooted and can flash custom roms, though it is a two step process without S-Off. You can gain S-Off via revolutionary (If you have any of the older Hboot versions) or via Juopunutbear process. Check this site for details... or just check the thread titled "how to flash ICS roms with S-On" for the specifics if, like me, you don't wanna risk shorting your phone with wire.

I know its silly to ask, but after i have connected via usb to pc for file transfer how do i safely remove ...i dont get the option on the pc with my note but used to with other device ....before i unplug ofcourse
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tknguyencsu:
I just wait for the file transfer to finish (which you can see from the Note) and disconnect the usb cable. I have been doing this without any problem.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] altae:
It's only possible to safely remove when you connect your phone using the usb mass storage mode. If you use the "normal" mode it's not possible and not necessary to safely remove the Note.

[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] novinsab:
Hi all,

I have found a way to remove the main Windows Live account associated with the phone and insert another one without having to Hard-Reset the device.

Removing the main WL account might be indicated in the following

conditions

:

Improper Region Selected with Your Account

Switching between 2 Windows Live accounts

Problem with Contact Sync through Windows Live

Problem with Contacts stored locally on phone

Requirement:

Dev-Unlocked Windows Phone

WP7 Root Tools

Procedure:

Goto WP7 Root Tools or any other file explorer on the device

Navigate to \Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Stores\DeviceStore\

Rename store.vol to store.vol.txt (or anything else) - can be used as a backup

Restart the phone

WP might indicate that there was a problem with updating and all your messages, contacts and accounts data have been removed.

Now you can manually add them again.

Please note that, all your stored emails, messages, locally stored contacts and other data associated with your setup accounts will be erased from the device (can backup by restoring store.vol.txt to store.vol). Make sure you sync your contacts before proceeding with this.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] wpxbox:
Were you able to use the existing installed apps and update them without any issues ?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] GoodDayToDie:
Also note that it's possible to open the contact and messaging database (store.vol) with software an merge it into the new one. That's what the SMS backup app does when restoring, for example.

[HTC One S] MadJoe:
If you're anything like me, the sexy thin-ness of this phone is one of the reasons you decided on it, and to put a powerskin monstrosity on it isn't an option; especially at $50 on sale! I personally have had an Xpal 8000mAh "portable" charger for a long time, and love it, but its fairly bulky, and takes a while to recharge, so it's gotten less practical of late.

So I did a little poking around on Amazon and found this:

The PowerGen Mobile Juice Pack.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004UP491W/ref=mp_s_a_3?qid=1338131488&sr=8-3

I plan to pick up two and always have one on me, while the other one is charging, and for $44 that's $6 cheaper than the PowerSkin on sale, so is a no-brainer for me.
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Product Features:

*High Capacity, 2900mAh, 130% of the iPhone battery life

*Slim, Sleek, Compact, portable and stylish Design. Convenient to carry in your pocket or purse and Leave it plugged in to your phone

*Rechargeable: Convenient rechargeable battery allowing you to always have a battery charging backup when you are away from a AC outlet

*Smart Design: With Built in Micro USB Lead for recharging nearly all Android Devices.

*Package includes: PowerGen Juice Pack, User Guide, and Micro USB Cable . ( OEM Cable required when recharging iPhone or iPod)
[HTC One S] moonrock:
You know you dont always have to keep the PowerSkin on it, right? You could just put it on when you actually need the extra power?
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
Kind of makes the PowerSkin pointless that way, doesn't it? I mean you could spend $50-$60 on a 1500mAh back up charger that either makes your phone ugly and provides little protection while on,, or $22 for a 2900mAh back up charger that lets you keep the case of your choice on the phone, including no case at all... I can't see a good argument for the PowerSkin, sorry.
[HTC One S] moonrock:
I wouldn't necessarily put mine in the PowerSkin at all times, but when I do, it'd mean not having to carry around a separate pack. Days that I know I'll be out/using my device ALL DAY that I'd want the extra power, basically.

I already have a general case to use on regular days, I'd swap it out with the PowerSkin on days I felt it was necessary to have the extra power.

*shrug* to each their own.
[HTC One S] hah2110:
I agree with everything said here - the case is obnoxiously big and it is completely unnecessary for the nub coming out of the side. I also agree that if you had a time when you needed the extra juice, maybe a function where you would be hammering the camera away, you could throw the skin on. To me, $60+ is unreasonable to use once in a while. I'm probably going to get the S3 which will come stock with 2100 mAh and then I'm sure we could find a 2500+ mAh - plenty to go around and no extra thickness.
[HTC One S] samuraicyber:
I think this Anker battery pack is a much better deal

http://www.amazon.com/Anker-5600mAh-External-Flashlight-Motorola/dp/B005K7192G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338306512&sr=8-1

5600mAh for $34 basically mean you can give the phone a few full charges and it also include a bunch of different of adapters to charge different devices.
[HTC One S] moonrock:
I was actually researching after I noticed that the Zagg one was 50% off for Memorial day (6000 mah for $50), but it has AWFUL reviews, so I went digging for a different model.

The reviews on the PowerGen Mobile Juice models are overwhelmingly positive -

5200 mah (single usb port) for $33.99

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005VBNYDS/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=AKBC2HTGGFZVH

8400 mah (two usb ports) for $49.99

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0073F92OK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AKBC2HTGGFZVH
[HTC One S] MadJoe:
There's a bunch of options, but the 2900mAh version in the op I like because it is thin like the phone and doesn't stretch my pocket even with the phone in there with it. Those others aren't as slim/convenient, but are still better than the PowerSkin.
[HTC One S] samuraicyber:
The Anker branded has 5600mAh also at same price and a lot of good reviews like the PowerGen.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
I would like to find a case with external battery integrated just like the xpal but cheaper. The xpal is nice but it cost too much, anyone know if there is an alternative?
[HTC One S] MadJoe:

[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
yea but it cost 50 us dollars and the battery has just 1500 ma
[HTC One S] Gavin01:

[HTC One S] Roundtableprez:
I bought my mobile battery from thinkgeek.com its a newtrent and has 9900mah I forget how much I payed for it exactly but it has two USB ports. Each output a good 5v/12a. It's a bit heavy but 9900 mah is wellworth it and besides one step closer to being zombie apocalypse ready lol. Also I have like a million gadgets and something always needs to be charged :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnMcD348:
OK, just bought the wife a Archos 101 G9 tablet yesterday and first thing I did was upgrade it to the ICS that was available. My wife has been using an Epic 4g(slider) from sprint now for about a year. I've really done nothing with it as I'm, more or less, a windows person.

Anyway. she wants to use the Tablet as a video viewer/movie watcher when on trips, on top of using it to continue with our son's education with online courses through his school. We had thought we'd be able to link her Epic w/ Gingerbread to the tablet with Ice Cream sandwich via either BT or WiFi tethering so her phone would act as the modem. I can't seem to make that happen. When both items are searching, niether one can find each other. i tried it with my WP7 HTC Arrive and they did find each other but could not link up due to incompatibility. the usual $20+ fee extra per month from Sprint would allow her to Hot Spot her phone but I was wondering if there was another option?

My WP7 phone doesn't allow tethering but I was hoping someone, somewhere might know of an app or other means, besides fully Rooting/jailbreaking/hacking(Bricking) her phone.

Any and all help/insight is appreciated.

Thanks

John
