What kind of paint did you use? I have a white nexus and since there are no white extended battery doors I was either going to get a white skin to go overtop of it or paint the battery door to be white.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dB Zac:
I sanded it with 400 then used some tamiya primer and then a tamiya matallic green. when I sprayed the battery door the 1st time, the paint did some crazy shrinking, so I sanded it off, then sanded away the texture and repainted
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dakota0206:
I did this with my old Bionic. Did you use a clear coat? I had issues with mine. I baked it to help cure the clear coat then let it sit for 3 days. Everything was good at first then I decided to leave it on for the day. When I pulled it out a few hours later the fabric texture was imprinted into the clear coat.

I redid it and waited a full week before using but ran into the same problem.

Try restarting your computer, also check task manager and make sure adb is not running.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
The first time I ran 1.85 it took forever. It was to the point that I picked up the phone to disconnect. When I picked it up the process started at the same time. Not sure how long you waited, but mine was probably 25 minutes before it went to the black HTC screen. I ran it one other time and the time frame was normal.

hello

i noticed recently after moving to ICS, that after I flash a new rom, all my old apps start to download and install automatically.

Downside is I may not want all apps to install and then when an app installs it just installs but its old settings are not applied.

This never happened before when I was on GB.

I used to be able to batch install apps via titanium as well as restore the apps old settings.

is there a way to get back to what I am used to or have better control over apps re installing following the re flashing of a rom?

thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
It's a default back and restore android feature, just reboot the phone or something, it's gonna stop it.
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
When you set up through setup wizard, it has a checkbox asking backup/restore checked. Just uncheck it. This was also in gingerbread setup wizard.
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
is this different than the option under Settings, Privacy - the 2 check boxes to "back up my settings" and "automatic restore"

do you use either of these or do you rely on an app to do this for you?

titanium or myback up pro?

thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] glacierguy:
Idk if its different, I just know I uncheck when doing setup wizard. I always manually install all 150-200 apps... It's a pain in the ass, but I know its cleaner that way over titanium backup and its faster than auto restore.
[HTC Amaze 4G] windcan:
wow, thanks

i think i will try mybackup pro as it looks as if it can save and back up more things than titanium (sms, apns, ...).

with how frequent updates are coming out to roms i am looking for more convenience to get back up and running faster after taking the new rom

thanks, i also came over to caprom from speed and I think i am preferring it so far, although both are pretty good

thanks
[HTC Amaze 4G] kazzxtrismus:
Also I found this when I opened the market the first time too... Just git the X in the top right corner...

I opened market within 10 minutes of flashing the leak so I got/caught it early..

But ya.. Uncheck the option during setup
[HTC Amaze 4G] Bud Wilkinson:
Option in TiBU

This only works for those of us on Rooted Systems using CWM and Titanium Backup Pro. May work on standard but IDK, I use Pro.

One of the best ways I found to have full control over what gets re-installed on a flash of a new ROM with or without the latest Gapps "Restore from Google Account" tick box is to First do a CWM Nandroid Back Up of the current ROM with all the apps you want to keep updated through Play Store.

On install of your New ROM in the setup wizard, set up your Google account, un-check the "Restore account from Google" if it is there. turn on and connect your WiFi if you want. Go to Playstore and install your Titanium Backup and Pro license. Set up your TiBu prefferances and reboot the phone. Sometimes this needs to be done to get TiBu all the way up and running. then launch TiBu and go to Menu>Extract from Nandroid. Surf to the clockworkmod folder if you have to and sellect the backup you made. It will take a minute or more but there will be a list of apps and an option to restore Apps+Data, Apps only or Data Only. Make your tick box app selections and then hit the green check mark at the top right in TiBu.

This is way faster than the Play Store download speed and if you select Apps + Data your games and such will be right where you left off.

Then you can go to Play Store>My Apps and update any apps that need it since the Nandriod Backup was done.:good:

Coming from the galaxy s2 I do miss the power button on the side, hoping to find a solution still
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] trevortx:
Actually, I used to have a Nexus One and the power button was broken. To circumvent that, I had to use an app called AnyUnlock. I turned the screen on with the volume rocker and you could also use a widget to turn the screen off (rather than using the power button to turn the screen off). Which I suppose could be useful if you have smaller fingers or something and didn't want to make the reach. Very, very useful app when your power button stops functioning.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] live4nyy:
I'm sure it uses the same method that the other apps use and it even says in the description on their app page that it only works on Froyo and GB. :(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] nacase:
Inside Sprint Now posted a clarification on SVD (simultaneous voice & data) recently:

Sprint 4G LTE phones can acheive Simultaneous Voice and Data (SVD) when connected to a WiFi router.

They may also achieve SVD when connected to Sprint’s LTE or CDMA networks.

Sprint 4G LTE phone customers may not see a consistent SVD experience on Sprint’s networks based on numerous conditions.

SVD should not be guaranteed to our external customers.

SVDO is possible on Sprint’s LTE phones/handsets, without assistance of LTE or WiFi, utilizing 1x and DO.

Works only in optimal network conditions.

Experience not consistent with SVDO; in weaker coverage, voice will take sole priority.

SVD can be achieved with either LTE or WiFi coverage.

CDMA + LTE, or CDMA + WiFi should be the primary combinations to achieve simultaneous voice and data, as with previous phones/handsets.

If utilizing SVDO, the experience will vary, however, if in optimal conditions data speed will be consistent with EvDO speeds.

Is anyone working root for the droid 2 with update 4.5.621? If so, any progress. Can I be any help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theproles:
Bumpity bump!

Yes, I'm also trying to root my girlfriend's droid 2. We have both been getting iPhone envy (it just works), but since I re-rooted my droid x (after 4.5.621 OTA) she is suddenly getting NEW Droid envy. Seeing how quickly my phone works while rooted has convinced us both that sticking with android and finding newer hardware (a newer android phone) is likely the solution to our android woes.

Any help would be great. I can follow pretty much any directions as long as I don't have to do the coding myself. I suck at coding. Been there, don't want to be there again.

This is not the Equivalent of "Smart Stay" but rather the PopUp Video feature on the SGSIII.

Smart Stay is the feature that uses the front-facing camera to detect if their is a face over the phone. If there is, it overrides the default screen dimming timer and keeps the screen lit.

I'm sure there is someone in the rooting/porting community working on porting this to other devices, but PopUp video, which has been available via the app you linked to and even more popularly Stick It! and OverSkreen https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myboyfriendisageek.stickit has been around for awhile now.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Renegade40d:
Hi,

Without all the boring details for why etc...

Samsung galaxy 8.9 4G (7320) through Telstra. Looking for a specific case for it which i found on ebay, but it says its suitable for the 7300 and 7310, just like most of the cases i can find.

So i was wondering if there is any physical difference between the 7300/7310 and the 7320 that would mean it wouldnt fit a case for 7300/7310 versions.

Any help is much appreciated.

[Motorola Droid 3] ChristianPreachr:
I made the mistake of flashing the OTA and lost my root. Here's the steps I took.

1. Find Motofail, its the root for the Droid 4. Root your phone.

2. After that, you can download Hashcode's SafeStrap. Once installed and given super user permissions, open it and Install Recovery. This will change your preboot to allow you to toggle safe/nonsafe.

3. Get your preferred ROM and toss it on your SD Card. DarkDroid is the fastest, MavRom seems to be the most popular and customizable. SteelDroid, IMO, is the most polished. But its a little slow for me.

4. Once in you reboot in Safestrap, toggle to the Safe mode. This makes a a backup of your original system. You can toggle back at anytime.

5. Once in Safe Mode, choose "Install zip from sd card" and flash your preferred ROM.

6. Reboot, patiently waiting, and enjoy.

the safe side does not impact your non safe (factory) side. Its pretty straight forward. I have the 862 from Verizon, assuming thats what you have all the roms will work well. FYI, DarkDroid can install right over and retain your apps/games/texts etc. MavRom, Steel, Eclipse...all suggest a full wipe. Visit their individual threads for more information. Hashcode's safestrap is a God send! It is amazing. The roms are based on the 809 version, so any benefit you see from the 906 won't be there. I would suggest weekly backups, it backs up EVERYTHING. It really is a great program. All of this is from personal experience, but SafeStrap works with almost any ROM.

****Wiping battery stats is pointless and does nothing.

******Wiping dalvik cache is always a good thing.

Does this step-by-step work for the Verizon droid3?

Does this step-by-step work for the Verizon droid3?

I am in a pinch. I corrupted the original stock install, and while I can use my SafeStrap installed ROM's no problem, I do need to get around to restoring the stock rom so that when I go to Verizon for any service, I can at least check the stock rom to verify functionality, and present Verizon a phone that has the software that they shipped on it.

That would only be fair, and IMHO folks not doing that are one of the reasons rooting is verboten by carriers.

So, I stumbled and slammed the device to the ground on concrete without a case. The screen cracked, but for a while everything else seemed fine until I resumed using WiFi. I have to be within about 10' of a Wifi AP for useful connectivity that does not flap/disconnect. I am pretty sure that it is a hardware problem, but the event coincides with the time frame that I began using ROM's and learning about rooting on this device.

So, I inadvertently butchered the non-safe stock rom while manually removing bloatware, etc from the stock install phone.

Shortly after the original post is one by ChristianPreachr that sounds like it for the regular /verizon droid 3.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ChillyChan:
You can try the bootloader method. You probably already know how to flash in bootloader but here are the instructions anyway.

Download this: dl.dropbox.com/u/23303294/4EXT%20Recovery%20Touch%20v1.0.0.5%20RC3.zip

It's the latest 4EXT Recovery. After downloading, rename it to "PG32IMG.zip". (Note: It's not a CWM zip so it's not flashable that way.)

Put it in the root of your SD card.

If your ROM has the option, reboot into bootloader using the power menu.

Or turn off the phone, hold Vol Down + Power to enter bootloader.

When asked, press Vol Up to update the recovery.

Don't forget to delete PG32IMG.zip after you're done.
