[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stalkalainen:
Folder's opening on their own

I have had this on every iteration of the firm available in the UK (BTU). Not experienced it on any other launcher. I would use Apex full time but I have weird widget size problems which is even more annoying.

Folder Bug

...having the same problem...pretty annoying. No solution so far. It is always the game folder.:(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mariuspa:
Hi guys,

This happens to me as well. It's always the Games folder. I tried renaming that, thinking that it has to do somehow with it's name. Also, maybe we can trace it back to some of the games inside. Mine are:

Real Racing 2

Angry Birds Space

Zynga Poker

Asphalt 7

888 Poker

So let me know if any of you experimenting this has one of those in the Games folder. Thanks guys!

Regards,

Marius
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neverlift:
having the exact same issue but mine happens with a folder i created and called Video. Anyhow phoned Samsung about this they told me to try to the new firmware they just released. Went to see if there was a new update and it was there downloading it now. I hope this resolves this a few other problems. Cheers!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk125:
I have the same issue, however my folder contains no games - just random apps like viber, maps, bank, play store etc.

It is really annoying, my phone just got the latest firmware update too and the problem is still there!
[General Questions and Answers] wonderman10:
hi everyone

i have two questions

1- ios 6 vs jelly bean: which is better in general

2- the iphone 5 is now the most awaited smart phone but will bring something deferent ? and if it come with a larger screen will it make any defiance ?

thanks
[General Questions and Answers] iArtisan:
1. Windows Phone 7

2. Yes it will make some defiance.

you're welcome.
[General Questions and Answers] kaluniguni:
Jelly Bean FTW!

I prefer by a lot Jelly Bean! Smoother UI (Project Butter) , Google Now, Improved keyboard, Richer notifications... iOS 6 is just a bunch of features that already were available in Android (ex: Facebook integration, better phone app...) though i love the new app called Passbook. Maybe Apple is planning a "iWallet" because i heard that the new iPhone (or iPhone 5) will have NFC. But i don't think that the new iPhone will rock a bigger display...
[General Questions and Answers] DanJRWalsh:
I'd say Jellybean is better, but that's a personal preference.
[General Questions and Answers] parental92:
1. Jellybean is better, look at the udpate list, apple is just catching up and adding feature from stone era. but even tough im using android, i give my applouse to WP, they press the restart button and starting a whole new ecosystem.

2. dont care even they have 5 inch screen, with the same old UI, and the limitation, i wont even consider it as a smart phone.
[General Questions and Answers] speedyink:
Jellybean is worlds more advanced. iOS is just way too simple for my tastes, in terms of form and functionality.

I was also unimpressed by iOS 6. It really should have been called iOS 5.2, there's nothing groundbreaking to merit such a version change.
[General Questions and Answers] ngoralph:
agreed it's just like nokia on steroids :cowboy:
[General Questions and Answers] IRX120:
IOS 6 is more secure but that's about it. I tested it on my iPod and its really not that great.

Jellybean seemed impressive in the emulater and deffintly can't wait for CM10

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
I have a Kindle Fire that I rooted using KFU. FireFireFire and TWRP are both installed. It was working fine for a while, but after I installed the Google Apps and set up the Market account, the Kindle froze. After I turned it off (holding power for ~20 seconds) it would not turn back on for about a half hour. When it finally did turn on, it got through the FireFireFire bootloader screen and went to the regular loading screen, then froze on a black screen (but with the backlight on). I can boot into TWRP, and I have a stock update.zip on the Kindle already, but as soon as I touch Install the recovery freezes (the screen updates to the choose a file menu, but then I cannot select anything or go back).

With all that back story out of the way, I want to try to restore the Kindle Fire to stock and see if the problem persists. Well, I don't want to per se, but it's technically my girlfriend's Kindle Fire and that's what she wants. Since it can get to FireFireFire, I assume I can still use fastboot. I have read up on how to use fastboot to flash a new recovery or do a data wipe, but I was wondering if it is possible to use fastboot to flash the update.zip or update-kindle-6.3.1_D01E_4107720.bin? And if so, what would the command be? The fastboot section of the beginner's guide only mentioned flashing the individual pieces (boot, system, etc..).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
It has been asked before if you can fastboot flash a rom to your kindle I dont believe that has been determined very good question so far I have not seen an answer. Im guessing flashing stock would fall under the same category. I would say no because when you fastboot flash its to a specific destination not multiple partitions.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
I would boot to TWRP, select Wipe then do Cache, Dalvik Cache, and Factory Reset.

Then if you want the pure stock, then flash this version of Stock 6.3.1(No Bootloader or Recovery).

This will leave FFF and TWRP intact so if you need to get back to them.

If you do want Google play and Super User flash this file.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Thanks for the reply, however as mentioned I cannot do anything in Recovery. If I touch Wipe the same thing happens as with install, it freezes after I complete the first menu change.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tera Tike:
I would re-install TWRP then and go from there.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abowlofsoda:
I upgraded from the .85 leak to the .211 leak and have not been happy with it. I experience lag from time to time. Its also eats my battery life faster. Phone calls are doing weird things.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] BakaPhoenix:
I don't have a cdma so i can't tell you for sure, but maybe you can go back flashing the system_signed and a patched boot.img of the base rom of ics update and isntall the update. This usually works on gsm
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Hi there everyone

have a weird issue... tried searching and nothing

ok, so i installed the first ROM of bigxie . everything went fine and nothing went wrong in any ways...

i then tried to install v2 of the ROM that came out a couple days later... and it wouldnt boot past the google writing screen... no matter what i do it wont boot into android... i have dont the wipe data, cache, dalvik etc... this isnt my first rodeo lol

i have tried flashing other jelly bean ROMs an nothing... i can restore to my previous ICS perfectly fine but nothing will load JB...

i have tried to restore with Odin but now in bootloader windows wont detect the phone at all... i have kies installed and have separately installed the drivers, nothing is making Odin see the devices, so i cant even use odin to restore to a factory image...

i have the latest bootloader installed and have the latest touch CWM installed as well... currently running the latest kernel from franco and using aokp 40

this is not making any sense to me and i need help to get my device back to JB, as ICS i cant stand anymore LOL

thanks for you help in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
thank you for the link that helped me get the drivers working properly again.

my issue is i cannot load any JB roms at all, via CWM or otherwise... however i can still load ICS roms without issues...

and i still cant get odin to see my device at all, yet galaxy nexus toolkit works fine! ugh... lol i cannot load any OEM images at all... even the nexus toolkit doesnt want to load a OEM image to the device....

thanks again!

@ c_86 and kingviper10: not sure what you guys are trying to do, but instructions on how to flash stock images are in the first post of the thread I linked to, and instructions for JB are in the second post. Not sure why you are talking about Odin or toolkits...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
@efrant

i am talking about toolkits and odin because i cannot flash a jelly beam rom, OEM or otherwise via CWM at all... thats the issue...

to the other, i have i think 5.8.0.2 touch ClockworkMod Recovery

ugh this is so frustrating... lol i dont understand what is going on....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Then you are doing something wrong. Did you follow the instructions in the link I provided you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Lol like I said. This isn't my first time flashing...

I download the rom. The fix. The radio.

Wipe data

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Flash rom

Flash fix

Flash radio

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Not doing anything wrong... at least I'm pretty Dam sure I'm not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
What is "the fix" you are talking about?

And use this recovery, not the one you are using. (The touch one is not entirely stable, even koush said so, so I have no idea why people insist on using it...)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Da Kine:
Did you fix permissions after flashing the ROM and fix?

Try factory reset, wipe cache, dalvik cache, wipe system, then install ROM and fix, then fix permissions, then reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
Thanks I'll try that recovery and see if that works. I'll report back later.

As for fixing permissions. Yes I've tried that as well. No luck either.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Why do you wipe cache and dalvik cache twice? :confused:

This makes more sense. And yeah, try the recovery image efrant kindly linked you to, i didnt have any issues with twrp 2.1.2 either, if i may.

sent from my i9250
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] c_86:
ooook... no go on that recovery image either...

i flashed the 5.5.0.2 recovery and same issue... will not boot past the google writing screen... i really dont know what else to do...

anyone?!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazdaspeed6:
I just upgraded my E4GT Sprint from GB to ICS using the oneclick installer. I am trying to install the CODENAME rom from CWM but havng issues getting CWM installed. I used the the E4GT auto but FE16 isnt listed so i tried FE15 but it wont load into CWM. So i tried this link "http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1390393" and flashed from ODIN and it goes into CWM but before it boots it says my phone is a gt-i9100 and has a ! on the bottom. It appears to boot though so i booted back into CWM and tried to flash the ZIP for CODENAME and the gapps file and it jsut gets stuck at the boot screen with the transformer logo. I cant get into CWM after that point and have to ODIN back to ICS. I am on ICS now and its working fine. Does anyone have any instructions on getting CWM installed and the codename rom from a fresh odin ICS install?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] The Root:
You really should read more before hopping around like that without checking. Real risk for a brick here.

-Flash EL26 stock CWM kernel via the PDA option in ODIN/Mobile ODIN

-When phone begins reboot, Hold Power + Volume up until boots into recovery.

-Wipe data/factory, cache and dalvik cache

-Flash ROM

-Flash Gapps

-Reboot

Those are the instructions right from the developer's thread. This is an AOSP rom and it sounds like you're trying to install TW kernels.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662295

This is the kernel repository. It links to each kernel where you can read further and find out if they are safe for flashing things.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] leaderbuilder:
Seems like you've done a bunch of stuff. But you really should do a whole bunch of reading first or you will brick your phone.

My suggestion would be to use sfhub's one-click http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1705730 to get to a fully stock rooted device. Then use his autoroot package http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1342728 to add CWM (the lates in the package is FF11+CWM Agat I believe) then you can add Agat's latest kernel with CWM http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1721065

But I would be very careful when flashing ANY ROM; use the developers prefered method. Some recommend using EL26 CWM. Some a different recovery or procedure. Be especially careful with CM9 and AOKP builds to follow the directions there.

Good luck
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mazdaspeed6:
So while i was waiting for a response i just went back to the stock GB using the one click install. I then used the autoroot package to install CWM and then restored my nandroid backup before i made in the very beginning. So my phone is back to a perfect state with GB and CWM installed. Can i just flash the ROM from CWM as is then? For some reason i thought it had to be "converted" to ICS and thats what started this whole mess. Things have changed since my old Evo :)

I just noticed that im running EL29 not 26...does that matter? When i try to flash that CMW EL26 stock root is when it gave me that gt-i9100 on boot and the ! at the bottom. Using the autoroot and choosing the EL29 Rogue is the only way i got it installed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] playya:
My friend some good suggestions above your post. Give yourself a day or two and do some reading prior to flashing. This way you may not end up at Sprint making up stories about why your phone wont boot up.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Let me just echo what everybody else has said, you're gotta read more. A lot more! If you're one goal is to get CNA in your phone I would recommend reading all of the very first post on that thread. They give step by step instructions.

If you need CWM there are several options to get it on your phone. Both sfhub and I have put together several one-click and automated options to get it on your phone.

One thing that hasn't been suggested yet but I would strongly encourage you to do is to read the "How Not To Brick Your E4GT" thread. It's sticked in the General section.

Good luck!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rwilco12:
Two more things.

1) If you're going to ask for help give it a few minutes before trying something new. It takes people a minute to reply. Sometimes waiting that extra minute or two is all you need to be saved from bricking. ;)

2) Don't be afraid to hit your thanks button for everyone who has offered advice already. I got them once for you but it might not hurt to do it again. :D

I have the White Hyperion TPU case and back door. I am using it with the Hyperion "5000" mah battery (more like 3000). I can post pics if you like. I have been using it for about 3-4 weeks now and it does not stay white. The blue and black from my pants/jeans/uniform pocket is subbing off on the case. Its a decent case though. Slips in and out of my pockets just fine.

When I can afford it I will likely go with the Mugen battery and back door for the kick stand and better life :D

How to restore a Nandroid or flash new ROM with CWM Touch

In CWM Touch Recovery

1. Go to mounts and storage and unmount cache.

2. Make a nandroid. (Going back to mounts and storage, you will see data is mounted and will not unmount.)

3. Go to "advanced" and select reboot recovery.

4. Once phone reboots into recovery, go back to mounts and storage and see that data is unmounted. You may now wipe data, system, and cache.

5. You may now restore a nandroid or flash a new rom.

Recommendation : As noted below, proper wiping matters when switching between roms, particularly from ICS to JB. Use superwipe from Mike (android revolution HD) when moving between roms. http://api.viglink.com/api/click?fo...="0" alt="">&jsonp=vglnk_jsonp_13416929577832

If this helped you, hit thanks. Also, thank hobby 31. Thread here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1748049

EDIT 7-19-12 If you say "I've had no issues doing backups and restores with CWM," please ask yourself the following questions:

1. Are you using CWM Touch or non-touch? This is a Touch issue. If you are using the non-touch... you need not read further or report "I have no problems" because this is specifically related to Touch. (Please note I have not flashed the new 6.0 CWR Touch as some people are reporting problems with it also.)

2. Did you do multiple operations in the same recovery session? Meaning did you wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe delvik? Then did you try to flash a new ROM or restore a backup without restarting recovery? The reason this matters is because this issue of data not unmounting seems to happen in Touch CWM after a wipe is performed. You might be able to do one action per recovery session, but doing multiple actions that require data to be unmounted are what borks the operation and leaves some people hanging at the glowing X of "Oh crap I need to boot back into recovery."
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forgiventhief:
Let me know if there are any problems, need for further clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A2Eric:
I flashed an older version of CWM (5.5.0.4) Non Touch version so I could flash JB but my SD card would not mount after I did a full wipe. Had to use the Toolkit to flash stock image. Do you know what would cause that to happen? People are saying to use the older version to flash JB and I want to try VanirBEAN ROM but don't want to run into the same SD mount issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cam30era:
I have not had any difficulty restoring cwm nandroid backups of other ROMs, or flashing other ROMs coming from V3. Have not had to resort to any of these steps. But I have seen a lot of threads about others having a lot of problems. Just curious if anyone has any theories about why this is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Colemak:
I flashed the BAMF You Jelly Huh? ROM using the clockwork touch recovery and it worked flawlessly (I did wipe data though)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] A2Eric:
After talking with others, I think my issue was after flashing the older CWM I did not reboot before moving forward with the wipe. Too chicken to try it again :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forgiventhief:
I think it has to do with the coding in vicious and some of the initial releases of JB roms. Coupled with the data not unmounting at the proper time. A couple people also have mentioned that they didn't do as full of a wipe as is done with the super wipe script, hence why a lot of devs suggest using it to clean out old ics code.

Has nothing to do with Viscious. Same on JellyBelly 3.x Even when moving between JB roms, Data won't unmount when performing multiple operations.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Omen87:
I have flashed all three versions of Vicious' JB with CWM Touch and have not had a single problem. My process is as follows:

-Backup

-format /cache

-format /data

-format /system

-Wipe Dalvik cache

-Flash ROM

-Wipe Dalvik cache

-Reboot

-????????

-Profit
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] letrain02:
Team win recovery aka twrp. Everyone done says "use non touch recovery" it doesn't matter. Haven't had a single issue using twrp on this phone or any of my previous phones. It works great. Especially with super wipe scripts.

Bingo. That's what superwipe does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forgiventhief:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pdc419:
Sorry for the dumb question, but ive done a search and found conflicting answers. When you wipe data and cache do you want them to be mounted or unmounted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
I have Touch CWM and I have no problems flashing back and forth between JB and ICS roms and nandroids.

You just have to flash a Super Wipe in between.

I just did this yesterday to test out my MHL adapter. Backed up my JB rom, super wiped, restored my ICS Liquid Rom, tested, super wiped, restored my JB rom.

I think super wipe is key in going between different rom builds. But I've had absolutely no problem using CWM at all. If Super wipe is the answer, then perhaps CWM's Factory Reset option isn't wiping as well as it should.

Flashing a SuperWipe is much easier then having to restart the phone a few times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] forgiventhief:
I think it may be related to Viscious old versions. Not Sure. Using Jelly Belly now. If you are not having problems, that's great. I used superwipe script. No problems. But, if people want the manual solution without getting errors, then at least we know the above method works. It might not be neccesary now with the newer releases, maybe data will unmount ok.

If anyone wants to test and see if they can restore old backups from ICS w/out doing the above steps (IE the rebooting) and report back, it'd be appreciated. I will be uber busy the next couple days or I'd take the time to backup to my computer before trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeacela:
