[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] a.cid:
Okay, so today I took a cwm backup of my current rom, cm music ed v4...{cwm v5 by tj_style}

I have a habit of uninstalling all less-than-frequently used apps, clearing cache, removing other unimportant stuff etc...so that my cwm backup remains relatively small in size (that way I can keep 4-5 backups simultaneously on my sd card)

Before starting, I checked that I had filled almost ~250mb of my 512mb sd-ext partition...and I had around ~4gb free space on my 16gb card...

However, it took a staggering 1.5 hours to complete my backup! (Normally, it averages to 15-25 minutes)

When I then try to restore my backup, it got stuck at "checking md5 sum" for around 15mins, after which I pulled out the battery, and reflashed the rom (rather than restoring it)

So, in an attempt to find out what went wrong, I checked the cwm backup, only to find that the entire backup was close to 3.5gb in size!!

(The wierd part was, based on previous experience, the backup shouldn't have exceeded 450mb max)

Everything inside the backup was normal, except the sd-ext tar, which was super-inflated...

Inside the tar, there was only a "lost+found" folder (while there should have been other folders as well), and there were only a few big files (very big) and LOTS of other numerous very-small files in it...

The big files aren't extractable, hence I don't know what made them so large...

So I am just troubleshooting the problem, trying to learn what may have happened/gone wrong...

{When i reflashed the rom, cm musc ed v4, everything was working fine, including the sd-ext partition

The recovery also is working fine, except the backup and restore part}

Help would be appreciated...

(P.s. don't tell me to use different recovery/rom/sd card, since that is not my purpose, I want to know the exact problem)

[HTC Desire S] hook.me:
Hi,

I have installed this great CoolDroid rom to my desire s (first custom rom installation I've done) and I'd like post some comments (and some (general?) questions).

As I'm new to this forum I'm not able to post this directly the the CoolDroid dev thread. So maybe someone can copy it to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1532203

- These apps are crashing when I want to select another account (drop down list on the upper left app menu bar): Notes, Tasks, Contacts

I'm not sure if I've missed some settings during the installation or if this is an CoolDroid issue. Is there any crash report where I can find more detailed informations?

- The overview of the home screens (zoomed out overview of your panels) isn't working. Has this been removed in CoolDroid, or should it work?

- And...just a small notice: on the clock widget on the lockscreen the time alignment is not in the center (it's more to the right). Can this be fixed somewhere in the settings?

Keep up the great work!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dirky:
I usually set my android phones up with my Google Apps account. Most things work fine and I've been using Latitude with this account for maybe 2 years or so.

When I ran Google Now for the first time by swiping up from the bottom of my device it asked me to choose an account to use, my Google Apps account was greyed

out and it would not let me select it, so I chose my non Apps account.

I then got the sample cards and the welcome 'wizard' to Now.

I then noticed the menu for Google Now and saw I could switch my account to my Google

Apps account, however when I did this the cards vanished and I was only left with the search box.

I'm wondering if this is something to do with Google Apps or something to do with my Apps account being set to a UK locale?

Anybody else tried with Apps account?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chaoticmaster:
It is working fine with my Google apps account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradwi:
I have the same problem with my Apps account. Search box only, no cards.

If I add a gmail account to my phone and select it, then it works, but not with my main Apps account. Disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jschoenfeld:
I have the same problem

I have the same problem. No cards with my main google apps account, but with my second google apps account it works well...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dhillormac:
Any luck with this? I was very excited to try this out. All my Google Apps accounts are greyed out ... can I only choose one [I think it has Google Account associated with it]. Very said. :crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keitht:
I am getting my new Galaxy Nexus today but will probably wait for the official Jellybean update. I will be extremely disappointed if I cannot use my Google Apps account with Google Now. Google did this when they rolled out Google+. Google Apps accounts did not work for several months! Was very frustrating. Google needs to make sure their paying customers have first access to new features not last.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scorneil:
Works fine with my Google Apps account. Maybe it's a bug related to multiple accounts?

My Apps account is my only Google account on the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] girishverma:
Interesting..I never stopped to think that.. I also use Google Apps account and I never got an option to setup cards or anything in regards to cards.. I get no cards what so ever. I wonder what it might be. I am guessing its a hit and miss since its working for some and not for others like myself...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TaFFeR:
I also just noticed this too today. I thought it was just some weird quirk with me, so I did multiple wipes until I finally tried my rarely-used gmail account instead of my apps account.

I'm wondering what the difference is between some apps account than others? Perhaps there's a setting in the dashboard that needs to be enabled? I'm a bit disappointed that apps accounts seem to have low priority when it comes to new features :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] girishverma:
I can now tell you that for testing purposes I tried to add my usual gmail account and when i went to Google Now it presented me choosing an account to setup with Google now. Seems like some peoples accounts are working fine with Google Apps, some aren't.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TaFFeR:
Found it! Sort of... Enable "Android Predictive UI" in your Google Apps account settings.

http://support.google.com/a/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1408902

On the very bottom it says "This setting enables Google Now for your users, which is available for Android 4.1+ devices."

I still can't seem to get it to work though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewtyson:
My google apps account only has a main account, no subs. So I only have that main apps account on my phone, and I don't get the Now cards or Now menu settings. :( Hoping for a fix or enable option soon!

---------- Post added at 09:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 AM ----------

I have it working now, thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TaFFeR:
Really? Did you do anything special? I just wiped again, and now I'm stuck on the Google logo, ha!

---------- Post added at 09:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 AM ----------

I just restored a backup from before my wiping spree and got it working! :D Changing that setting did the trick.

1. Go to your Apps Dashboard (www.google.com/a/your_domain.com) and click on settings on the top right.

2. Click on Mobile under Services on the menu on the left.

3. Make sure you're in the Org Settings tab and scroll all the way down to Android settings.

4. Enable Google Now and save.

At this point, I had some trouble getting it to make the change on my phone. I did some wipes and a restore and it finally worked. You may not have to do that though since matthewtyson seemed to have gotten it to work right away.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewtyson:
I checked the box you found to enable the feature, and a few seconds later I woke up the phone and swiped up for google. No reboot or anything. When I launched the Google, the mountains header image stayed in place and I got Now card instructions. Everything is working, and it is very cool! Thanks for finding the check box!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] girishverma:
AWESOME FIND

works well.. all I did after enabling was.. i removed my apps account...re added it..still no go.. i re added my GMAIL account..when i went into search the cards appeared..I then also removed my GMAIL account and everything is intact...WORKS GREAT..THANKS MUCH
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
Sounds like a daft question, but where do I find my domain name to access this control panel?

I don't have access to any of that stuff. I just have a regular Google account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TaFFeR:
Your domain should part of your email address. Say your email is foo@bar.com, your control panel should be at www.google.com/a/bar.com.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
That's the first thing I tried, just brings up an error page.

What i'm getting at is... I just have a gmail.com account that I use for everything. So if it's arthurhucksake@gmail.com for example, what would I use to access this page? Just using arthurhucksake.com at the end doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TaFFeR:
I answered in the other thread. If you're using an @gmail.com or @googlemail.com address, this solution doesn't apply to your account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Arthur Hucksake:
Ok thanks.

Looks like they changed the name of the option. It was "Android Enable Predictive UI" before.

same problem here, since I have a support contract for google apps I have created a ticket on the issue.

Unfortunately this option is only available for "Apps for Business", not the free Google Apps. :(

Might be forgotten by Google ...

If you take a free trial you can enable it.. maybe it will 'stick' after that?

This is correct; I tried this a few days ago and it worked.

Can someone confirm that they are recieving gmail updates (specifically packages) using a google apps email? A recent post from a google employee implies that it does not work with Gapps but it sounds like people have gotten it working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joeydsmith:
yes could some one please confirm that they have gotten the gmail google now stuff working on google apps accounts? All i seem to get is weather, travel, sports teams, and nearby events and places.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarmstr:
Yes, that's all I get as well. Seriously considering opening a gmail account and forwarding everything there just for this to work, but would love to keep my apps domain account if there is something to get this working.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaesun:
if someone is able to, i'd like to know how. I get the same as you (weather, travel, sports, events). but when it comes to anything in my email account, i get no cards.

Also, in my Google Apps account, I do not see the setting to turn it on in mobile. But those posts are from last year. I am assuming they have since changed it and allowed Google Apps to work with Google Now for the most part (again, weather, travel, sports, events).

according to this:

http://support.google.com/websearch/answer/2839480?hl=en

"Note: Gmail cards appear only if your device and Gmail languages are set to English, and they're currently not available when using Google Now with a Google Apps account."

don't understand why they have this restriction, as the email is being handled by Google just the same as a gmail account.

I use Google Apps so that I can have my personal email address with Google's services, but I've always felt like the red-headed stepchild when it comes to new features. Nearly a year with no love? Google Apps never gets any love.

My feeling is that it has to do with piracy issues. While your company may be fine with you seeing a restaurant card popping up in your Google Now app, it may not want Google to actively parse your company e-mail. Sure, technically, they could just add a separate checkbox for enabling the Gmail card for Google Now, but it's far from being a technical only problem -- their lawyers may want to put in safeguard to shield Google from being sued. I just hope that they make it work sooner rather than later.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donpiano:
There must be something else going on.

I registered my own domain to Google Apps a few years ago, and I do have Google Now activated. What's funnier is that I do not see the options on my control panel, but sure enough - it works fine on my phone.

We have Google Apps for Business (paid apps) at work, and there we do have the option to control it (Im the admin at work), but I have also helped a few smaller businesses set this up, and they do not have it. Neither do they have the option on their Android device.

They keep asking me to fix it as they see me telling my phone to remind me about stuff, and they want to be able to do that too. Of course, they really appreciate the free Google Apps (which isn't available anymore) so they are just going to have to do without that function.

But why, oh weird powers that be, do I have it on MY domain - which is free.

Screenshot:

Settings from my domain:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] intel352:
I have a free 100-user Google Apps account as well, and Google Now works for me, with the caveat that I do not get notifications regarding shipments or flight status (they are not options in my Google Now settings either).

If I use Google Now from my standard gmail account though (at least in the past), I have shipment and flight notifications.

I really wish they'd give me that functionality on Google Now for Apps, as shipment notification is my favorite feature...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thewild:
Old thread, but the problem is not solved I believe.

I have a free Google Apps account (for quite some time now), and I just gave Google Now a try.

Nice, but what I was really looking after was the ability to set reminders. I mean real "Google Now" reminders, not using voice action to add an alarm.

And this is just not possible with my account. There is no "set reminder" option in the menu, and asking Google Now to set a reminder just sets a stupid alarm...

Any known workaround for this ?

Thanks a lot !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] donpiano:
You say "real" Google Now reminders, but specify that you don't mean using voice commands. I don't know of any other way. I talk to my phone, and just yesterday I told it "Remind me to find printer cable when I get to work" - and since it knows where I work, it plinged (plung?) and gave me a reminder today when I got in to work.

That is the only way I know how to do Google Now reminders. I suppose you could try writing the sentence, "Remind me to .."

The only thing I notice it has problems with, is if I say "remind me to [something] tomorrow at eight" it does not differentiate between AM or PM, even if it should be logical - where (for example) late at night would be the next available eight o'clock, it still does the PM.

This is easily fixed though by just saying the AM/PM. - "Remind me to call my sister on tuesday, at five PM"

Works great.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thewild:
That works indeed, but on my phone that just creates an alarm in the alarm app. In the latest google now, it is supposed to create a reminder in the alarm app.

And the "remind me... when I get to work" does not work, because I don't have the location aware reminders of google now.

Since the may update of the google search app, there are reminders right in google now. And you can set them but talking or writing, but you can also set them via the menu button and "add reminder". I don't have this "add reminder" option.

That's what makes me think that the proble comes from my account.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lu_tze:
Found the solution!

I finally found, how to enable Google Now together with Google Apps accounts. Note that these are the legacy free Google Apps accounts, not Business, Education and Government accounts!

Posting for reference for anyone, who is googling for solution.

To enable it, do the following:

Check, if you have location reporting enabled (on your device)

For Android 4.3 and older:

go to Google Settings | Location. The new activity will be named Google location settings and will list your accounts.
​

For Android 4.4:

go to Google Settings | Location | Google Location Reporting. Will open same activity, as above.
​

Here, check if Location Reporting for your account is on. If it is off, just enable it and go to step 4. If it says Disabled, you have to enable it and continue with next step.

[*]Enable Location Reporting service on your account (on your computer)

Go to you Google Apps for Domains dashboard.

If you use new layout:

In the dashboard, click on More controls at the bottom. Click Other Google Services. Enable Location History service.
​

If you use old layout:

Go to the Users menu. Here, switch to the Services tab. Scroll down to the Additional Services tab. Make sure the services are listed here (Services below: ON on the right side). Enable Location History service.
​

After saving your changes, make sure this service works. Go to maps.google.com/locationhistory. If you do not get error, it works.

Enable location reporting (back on your device)

Go to the settings activity described in step 1. Now, you should be able to enable Location reporting.

Enable web history (on your device).

Go to Google Settings | Search | Accounts and privacy. Make sure that the correct account is used (Google Account). Enable Web History.

Uninstall any Google Search updates you might have.

The current version in the store does not want to run the initial wizard for some reason. The stock versions in 4.3 (tested with Nexus 7) and 4.4 (tested with Nexus 5) do, however. So we want to return to them.

Wipe Google Search data.

Go to Settings | Apps | All | Google Search. Push the Clear data button. Note that on Nexus 5 (or other GEL device), this will remove any icons and widgets, you might have on your home screens! (Will keep your wallpaper, though).

Run the initial wizard.

Now, swipe the home button to launch Search. Now, because you deleted the Google Search data, the initial wizard should launch. Enable Google Now here.

Update Google Search from Play Store.

You can update Google Search from Play Store. It will keep working now, that you enabled it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dmarmstr:
Are you saying to enable all Google now cards or just the ones that everyone has been getting?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gomezallan:
Hi there. I love custom roms but some of my favorite roms had added the extended power menu on their latest updates. Well this is convenient if you regularly goes to recovery but in my opinion this is a security risk somehow.

You see, If you already installed a security app like gotya! in your phone for example. If you lost your phone, most probably this average person who found your phone has no idea about the gotya! or how to reset your phone through recovery like pressing the power, menu and volume altogether.

If you password protected your settings or the phone itself there is no way he can reset the phone without the help of those who knows how. Most probably by that time you already know his phone number and location to get back your precious phone.

Now my point is.. in extended power menu the "recovery option" is there and if that person is trying to switch off your phone, he will also see the recovery option and if he is curious enough, once he selected that recovery option, of course that will bring him to other option the "Reset". Once he reset your phone bye bye.:(

My question is...is there any flashable stock power menu now to download to replace my extended power menu? I do the search here but I cant find any for my galaxy note. Thank you in advanced and sorry for my bad English.

From what I have read it will keep root if you use the ota update
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery2k:
Not true if you ota update. I guarantee you would lose root. Before you update OTA use an app called OTA Rootkeeper. It hides your root from OTA and make sure you enable the app to backup super user.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UNCUT88RAW:
For R800i, you can choose OTA update and phone will stay rooted. That´s how i got .69 firmware with root because i didn´t want to unlock bootloader.

For R800x, R800a, R800at, I don´t know it, but i guess if you choose OTA, then you´ll lose it. Only way to get root is if you use OTA Rootkeeper (doesn´t work always) or you unlock bootloader.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yeebok:
I have a desire HD and am running the Redemption rom alpha21R2. Of the ICS roms I have tried it seems to be the most stable. I have one issue. Live wallpapers do not work. I know they can work - they worked with Ice Cold Sandwich (which had a lot of random reboots), but they do not work with Redemption.

Some do - Light Grid, Force Fields do work, but the standard ones (black hole, bubbles, gotham, nexus, phase beam, spectrum, water) and some I have downloaded from the market just display a black screen with 'Loading live wallpaper..." on it.

I've flashed the rom twice after a factory reset / cache wipe and had the same outcome. Is there a way to restore the live wallpapers?

Thanks.
