With ICS - I'm not sure - still waiting for the update myself..

EDIT: Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear, but from my experience, there are not many themers/modders/devs working with odexed systems, so unless ICS is very similar to GB as far as creating new odex files (btw, I broke apart my buddy's stock RAZR ICS, and there are a lot more deodexed apks than there were in GB).. so, you might be on your own for a while..

Thanks for the links, and it's all good, I can actually get most of them to odex without problem, just a few giving me issues now. Thanks again! :good:

My Dinc is rooted S-off and I'm still getting ota update notification. I tried to run the update and it does nothing....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
If you're on a stock (even rooted) ROM, you'll get the ota notification. But it requires stock recovery to flash. I haven't looked into the actual zip, so I don't know if it'll flash via CWM or not. It used to not, and I doubt it's changed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
That is correct, the ota will not work unless you are complete stock. Meaning stock recovery, all original and unmodified apps and framework files, and you must still be odexed.

If you just want to stop the update nag you can go to /system with a root file explorer and open for editing the build.prop file. Look for a line that starts like this " ro.build.fingerprint= ", change the whole line to look like this without the quotes " ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc:2.3.4/GRJ22/389630.15:user/release-keys ". This tricks the update server into thinking you already have the latest update.

If you want a rom with the new update, there is the Stock 4.08.605.15 Rom and Touch of blue. One is pure rooted stock, and TOB is mostly stock but debloated and lightly themed.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richard6292:
I need to get the latest OTA update, but can I only get it through a new Rom or can I just gets new OTA update to work with my current Rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
You have to be complete stock to sucessfully update ota. Just flash the stock 4.08.605.15 rom in the dev section. You'd be getting the same thing, without all the hastle of ruu'ing, updating ota, and then rerooting.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richard6292:
Thanks for the info! But after that, if I were to relfash my current Rom I'd just be back in the same situation right?:/ I wish my current Rom would be update but the dev'r went away..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Right, if your current rom is not based on 4.08.605.15, then you will get the ota notification. Even if you got the actuall ota to install, it would more than likley mess up the rom, and then you would have to reflash the rom and you would be right back where you started. If you want to stay on your current rom but stop the ota notification, do as i said a couple posts above and edit the build.prop file to make the update server think you already have the latest ota. What rom are you currently on?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richard6292:
Ok, thanks for the help!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyz400:
I am using TOB so can I install the update without messing things up?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
No tob has stock apps removed and is deodexed. The ota checks to make sure all original apps and files are present and unchanged. If you wabt to get the actuall ota tou need to ruu to stock 4.06.605.3 and then ota to 4.08.695.2 and then ota to 4.08.605.15. However tob V2.1 has been updated to 4.08.605.15 already.

Experience with this OTA update

I can't post yet to the development forums and I saw that cmlusco was on here so just wanted to share my experience. I have an SMOLED Droid Incredible and I'm rooted, S-OFF on the latest CWM recovery and I was using wildstang's stock ROM from the last update back in November 2011. I got the notification, searched the forums, and ended up installing cmlusco's stock deodexed ROM, after doing all the requisite wipes and checking the md5. My initial experience was great, apart from once when the phone simply died with a black screen and was completely unresponsive. Battery pull solved that. After I was done getting all my apps back on there (mostly via downloading and then for some of them just restoring the data from Titanium Backup), I did a Titanium Backup and a nandroid backup in the recovery. After all of these were done, I started having quite a few freeze issues. I think I had three in a row before I had one while in the process of connecting the phone to my computer. Had to do the battery pull method each time but the last time, the phone must have been right in the middle of mounting to my laptop because all of my downloaded apps were "gone". As in, they were not in the app drawer and all the icons were the default Android icon on the home screens. I think something happened with the freeze in the middle of the mount. If I reinstalled an app from the market and tried to restart it, it force closed. Then, if I uninstalled and reinstalled it, it did work. But I was still getting some force closes so I figured it might just be easier to flash the ROM again, which is what I did.

So now I'm back up and running, and mostly everything is okay. I did get another freeze while installing an app and waited for a while but since the phone was still unresponsive, I did the battery pull again. Stuff is working but I thought I'd share my experience and see if anyone else had something similar happen. Oh, by the way, I also updated to the latest radio but hadn't the first time I used this ROM. And cmlusco, thanks a lot for posting that and being very patient in the forums. If this ROM fails again, I might try Touch of Blue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyz400:
Thanks, I changed that line and the annoying system update is gone :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggoodman1022:
So, I edited the "ro.build.fingerprint" line, and I'm still getting the notification... I've tried the "fix" of renaming the /etc/security/otacerts.zip file to otacerts.zip.bak, which some suggest. Hell, I even ended up deleting the whole file. When that didn't work, I froze /system/app/updater.apk. Still nothing, so I deleted that file as well. Nothing is listed in my /cache folder, where some people have noted that the download stores itself. I had the 4.08.605.15 update before, and it caused my phone to freeze a lot, and randomly reboot over and over for hours. During those reboots, half my apps got deleted as well.

Needless to say, I don't want the stupid update!! But nothing I can find on any forum is stopping my phone from getting the notification every 15-20 minutes. I've tried flashing a few different ROMs, but my phone gets stuck in a boot cycle with any of them. Just the other day, I went to flash the newest CyanogenMod through CWM, and it just kept showing the blue android guy on a skateboard for (no joke) about 3 hours. I ended up pulling the battery and flashing my stock recovery.

Please let me know if there's anything else anyone can think of that might stop the notification. I'm still 3 months out from being eligible to upgrade my phone, and I'd rather not deal with the notification popping up over and over and over for that time

Thanks
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
make sure your file explorer is in r/w (read/write) mode or the changes that you made will not save. there is a button in the upper right part of root explorer if that is that app you are using.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmlusco:
Also you must be s-off, or adb pull edit and push the file while in recovery.

sorry...I was on the phone...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggoodman1022:
It is definitely in r/w mode. I restarted the phone, cleared cache, then checked the file again to make sure the edit was still there. And it was...

I've had s-off since a few days after I got the phone last year.

I restored from a prior backup to undo all the changes I made, so I'm going to try each of the methods again, and if nothing works, I'll flash this.

Thank you all. I've been relying too much on "one-click" solutions in the past, but I'm now trying to get more into the actual dev side of things, so I can help out with this kind of stuff as well
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ggoodman1022:
I retried all the methods, and flashed the file mentioned above. Still no luck :confused:

Stupid notification pops up over and over and over... Guess I may either have to update, or deal with the notification until October when I can upgrade my phone. Or try flashing a custom ROM, even though I like the stock ROM
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
You could always flash cmlusco's touch of blue ROM which is an optimized version of the latest OTA, so you wouldn't have to worry about update notifications on that one for sure (at least on the latest version).

Were you able to successfully swap the battery?

My Nook Color no longer takes a charge. I used the ef out of this thing reading 4+ hrs a day, so I think I exhausted it. When I plug in usb, the 'n' lights up orange.

Would a battery replacement fix the issue?
[Nook Color General] MISRy:
Before you go that far the first thing you should do is go to CWM recovery and wipe battery stats. Then charge using the stock cable and brick until the orange light turns green, (overnight is usually more than enough).

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rippley05:
As far as sense4 theming, I think the tools need to be updated. I would say it should happen soon but I honestly don't know.. I hope so because themes are a big reason why I root.

The og evo had themes galore while the 3D didn't have much at all. I'm hoping this phone will be closer to the og evo, but it's not really looking like it yet. There are plenty of stock roms to choose from so the dev support is looking pretty good so far..

I have tried this method with both Holo Green.apk by Ricardo and the Androidian.apk recently released for ICS.

1. Using APK manager for ICS provided by sonny sekhon, i decompiled the apk.

2. Compiled them back without making any changes at all.

3. Build, sign and installed the apk.

4. Got this error in Theme Chooser while applying the theme: "This theme was improperly compiled and cannot be applied. Please report this incident to the theme author."

Yes, the only solution i found and i have done this but it didn't work at all: Applied system theme>Reboot>Applied the custom theme>Reboot

It doesn't work for me. The error is still persistant. Attached below is my recompiled Androidian.apk with no changes done at all. Could some theme maker please point me out whats wrong?

[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
The spring has come loose from one of the portions of the slider mechanism. I can't really tell but it looks like it's still attached to the screen. It doesn't look broken, at the loose end it looks like a screw should go there. How hard would it be to put back into place? I've been looking for a good teardown video of this model but I can't find it. Samsung wants to charge me $70 for what seems like a fairly simple repair since the pieces aren't even broken. Any help? :confused:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
the good news is I was right, the unit is easy to disassemble, and the spring is easy to put back on the slide plate. Unfortunately I managed to rip out the video cable in the process ;p I'm hoping it's easy to replace and I won't need a whole new screen

[Samsung Captivate Glide] :
I didn't take any pictures but it's pretty easy to put the spring back on the slide mechanism. There are two little silver posts and all you have to do is compress the spring and pop it back into place. However, you can't get to the slider mechanism that easily. Once you get the phone apart, the screen will be tied to the back by a video cable. To avoid ripping it out like I did, I recommend taking the screen apart and unplugging it, since you need to take the slider off the screen anyway to fix it.

You can also try feeding the cable back from the motherboard. If you look at the picture I linked to you can see at the very top a gold square and a little cable off to the side of that. The little flex cable attaches to the motherboard, and the gold square is glued to a plastic spacer in the housing. You can peel it off the spacer. When you replace it there's no need to glue it back on. It's held on by tiny notches and pressure from the assembled phone keeps it on.

I just did a full factory reset of my stock rom and finished restoring my apps but for some reason the screen won't turn off when I leave the device alone.

Screen timeout is set to 30 seconds but no matter what I set it to, the device never ever sleeps. Also if I press the lock button sometimes the device will wake itself and and the screen will come back on permanently... I've looked in the process manager and nothing is running in the foreground.

Here is a logcat. Can anyone make sense of it?

I have no idea why this is happening after a fresh wipe on a stock rom.

Hello everyone, im new to this place but as far as I could read my cellphone having the exact same symptoms as the threadstarted stated.

I do have the "Developer options" tab and also I would like to add another symptom.. After the phone is fully charged, the green icon at the top-left corner of the screen wont dissapear after I disconnect the usb cable.

- I do not have the "stay awake" settled on.

- I do have multiple alarms but just at some exact point each morning.

- The only way I can shut the screen down is by pressing the lock button.

- I'm running 4.1.2 as the android version.

- My model is the GT-I9100

Is there any other thing you guys would need to know ? thanks in advance for the possible help provided.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] takoyaki17:
Flash a stock firmware via odin.

Then all will back to default.the same look when you bought it.

Or flash a custom rom with device option in settings.you can controll the screen behavior there.

---------- Post added at 09:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 AM ----------

Root your phone and flash a custom roms.

You'll find one at the dev section.

Dont like the custom rom and stay on stock?

Do a factory reset.

Settings - Storage - Erase all data

This will erase your user data and downloaded apps.So do it at your own risk.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zeuszoos:
I just had the problem on my Mega, where the Power Button would bring up the Power Menu on a long tap, but would not turn the screen off when I just pressed it quick, like it used to. Nor would the screen shut off with the Screen Timeout set either.

When it started this problem, I also noticed that the solid white screen that would appear during part of the bootup no longer appeared.

This got me to thinking. I'm Rooted on the Factory v4.2.2 ROM, so I installed "XBlast" and went into it and checked the box for Disabling the Boot Animation (SU should prompt you).

Anyway, I rebooted and the problem was gone! I can turn the screen on and off with my Power Button again! :)

This all started with yesterday's Google+ update making my system go haywire! I had to restore from a previous NanDroid backup, but this one issue remained. The Bootup Animation must have got messed up somehow and affected it and disabling it stopped it from interfering or something.

This helped me and I can deal with having a way cool boot animation later if I want. But at least my phone's screen turns off now and maybe it'll help you too. :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexsouth:
Solution!!!

This problem is usually caused by the usb charging port, which is why a factory reset doesn't fix it. It's a hardware problem not a software problem.

1.

First thing to try is cleaning the usb port with a small dental bursh (or whatever you can find) and some surgical spirit which you can find in a pharmacy,

Take the battery out and unplug the phone when you do this.

2.

If that doesn't work then you can try the method that worked for me. Full disclosure: I invented this through trial and error, I don't know why this works and I can't guarantee you won't damage the usb port. But if nothing else works, then I say go for it.

For this method leave the battery inside, have the phone on.

Okay, so the port is a hole with a prong in the middle, right. Get a sewing needle and insert it into the space between the prong and the hole, specifically the place where the prong is closest to the hole wall - all right? The prong should be much closer to one of the walls than the other walls, put it down there, it won't fit unless you force it a little bit.

Put it in as far as it will go, then leave it for a little while. Turn the screen on and wait, see if the screen turns off. For me it usually works after five minutes of having the needle inside. I HAVE NO IDEA WHY
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcspecs:
So I was bored at work and did something stupid. Now I'm wondering if there is some way to fix it without having to flash my entire phone.

Is there someway a single file can be deleted using a CWM update zip. The file is the ported version of google now and having installed it using root explorer it is stopping my phone from booting entirely.

The file is "system/app/velvet.apk".

If anyone is experienced at CWM and knows how this can be achieved then I would be extremely grateful.

SOLUTION: Flashed a stock nandroid backup of the system, managing not to lose my data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salada2k:
I would imagine you could use adb to delete the file. Install the Android SDK on your computer and use adb shell to delete the offending file from bootloader mode. Havent tried it before myself, but I believe that's what adb is for amongst other things?

[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcmahoar:
Hey, I've been trying for a few hours now to unlock my X8. The last method I tried, which I found on this forum, was simply unlocking the bootloader via flashtool, which was said to be able to unlock sims. However, I can't connect to a network using my second sim card, as before: nothing's changed.

My phone is rooted, it's a 10 model (so no danger, seemingly), and I've downloaded Omnia but that'll cost me almost 20 to get an unlock, so I'd prefer to do it myself if at all possible. Cheers.

EDIT:

After searching more topics, I've heard mixed things about unlocking - some say it's impossible for free, some say it can be done if I flash a new ROM, others say what I've already done should be enough (and it clearly isn't). Can anyone confirm/deny that flashing a custom ROM could unlock my phone?
