[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andy2410:
Hello. I have a problem with my motorola defy+ running on gb 2.3.6 and is not ROOTED. Still he has an annoyng problem. After installing an aplication (not from the market) i saw that it didn't save data on the sd card. I uninstalled it and after a data factory reset i install apps such as temple run and Brother in Arms 2. At temple run it gave me this mesage

"File Access Problem Caution, unable to write files. This means your game progress can't be saved! Reason: Access to the path "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/com.imangi.templerun/files/spaceholder.dat" is denied."

Also at Brother in Arms 2 the game didn't save. I reset the phone about 7-8 times.I changed the sd card. Note that the card was a 16 gb kingmax class 6 and put the 2 gb card that came with the phone. It all work smoothly. So what is the problem the sd card or the phone's software. Please answer i'm desparate and tired of wasting time.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brajesh.sharma87:
are you on multiboot? the latest version of multiboot has some problem with mounting the sd card sometimes. It happened with me too.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
If I am currently on jokersax beta 0.6.9.2, can I just flash the updated rom over my current version? Or do I have to wipe data and cache in order to flash it? Because I've been thinking about getting around to updating but would rather not lose anything. My other question is if the update to 0.7.0.0 would be worth it. Is there large fixes or just small bug fixes? Thanks ahead of time for your help.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jotokun:
I would not recommend it. Version 7 was made primarily as a base for a Jellybean port that Joker was working on, and appears to use a different GPU driver that fixes browser rotation but also lowers performance. You're better off waiting for the next version.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
OK. I've been considering just waiting until a stable release anyway. So, now I think I will. Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunff:
There are two different ROMs:

0.7 - Normal

0.7 - Special

Flash normal one, and everything will be fine.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
I saw that. But will that be incrementally better than 0.6.9.2? Or lots of fixes?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
As my experiences in these CM9s, the 0.6.9.3 is most stable. But like any other CM9, the camera issue is really big to have been preventing me to install. Additionally, the FingerPrint scanner has never worked, either.

Let's keep waiting till the official ICS will be realeased by Moto :(
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
No need to wipe anything. Just install the zip for updates. And yes, it is better.

There are two different roms:

0.7.0.0 is the update

0.7.0.0 Special has Jelly Bean elements. It is a work in progress.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
So, once the atrix gets an official ICS update from Motorola, and we get a stable build of CM9, will we have to wait until the official 4.1 update to get a stable release of CM10?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
There is no guarantee of an official 4.1. But we will get CM10 in some form.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
Will it be stable though if we don't have the 4.1 drivers?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upndwn4par:
You are confusing stable with compatible. Stable means all of the bugs have been worked out. We will not know if ICS drivers are compatible with JB until they are released.

If ICS drivers are not compatible with JB, major aspects of JB can still be ported to ICS (though it will probably not be the same as pure JB).
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitaristjoel:
OK, thanks! That's just the explanation I needed.

0.7.0.0 issues

I installed from 6.9.1 to 0.7.0.0 last night and would like to report my findings. Let me start by saying I am new to the whole changing ROMs and kernels etc. so I am sure I haven't checked everything just yet. The problems I have found so far are as follows:

1. When using the ICS or ICS+ browser it seems to randomly decide to reset itself back to the initial google page. Iknow I read a post somewhere that reported Opera browser was not working either. Anyone know of a working browser for this release?

2. There is an issue with watching online video. I can watch streams from CNN, YouTube, Fox News just fine. When trying to watch anything on Netflix I only get audio with a black video screen.

3. Battery so far seems to be lasting about the same as 6.9.1 but I probably need more time to make a better evaluation.

4. Camera is working fine. Of course the Video camera is not working.

I am using Apex launcher with Jelly Bean theme and no issues. The only reason I am posting here instead of in the development thread is because I do not have enough posts yet.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JayMax03:
does the biometric reader work on the ICS roms for the Atrix?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flusshd:
Not yet :(

Follows are outstanding issues over ICS roms which are still in waiting for resolving:

1. Camcoder (video recoder)

2. FingerPrint scanner

3. 2D renderer

4. Some browser problem relating to flash player

5. Crystal Talk (call noise canceller)
[HTC Sensation] Super-Android:
Ok, so the story behind this mini-tutorial is that I upgrade their phones periodically, as part of the upgrade process I have to wipe the phones and a nandroid backup doesn't always work.

Titanium Back Up is another option, But sometime i really would like to extract the .apk files from the Apps downloaded from Market.

Hence, I had to figure out a way to extract the .apk files from my phone so I could install them on theirs.

Here's how it's done:

There are two ways of extracting .apk files from your device:

Using a file manager like "EStrongs File Manager" or "ASTRO File Manger" (downloadable from the Market), or

Manually extracting .apk files through the Android SDK.

Method #1 - Using a file manager​

Prerequisite: Rooted device

Using ES File Manager

1) Open ES File Manager

2) Click on the menu button of your device

3) Click on "Manager"

4) Click on "App Manager"

5) Long press on app you want to extract

6) Click on "backup"

7) Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card

Using ASTRO

1) Open ASTRO File Manager

2) Click on the menu button of your device

3) Click on "tools"

4) Click on "Application Manager/Backup"

5) Choose apps to backup and click on "backup" to finish

6) Extracted .apk files will be placed on the "backups" directory of your sd card

Method #2 - Using the Android SDK​

Prerequisites:

- Rooted phone

- Android SDK

- Android USB driver

To extract a .apk file from your device using the Android SDK:

1) Plug your “Rooted” Android device into your computer via the included USB cable.

2) From your adb command line (usually C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\) type “adb shell“ and press enter

3) Switch to root user, type “su“ and press enter

4) type “cd data/app“ and press enter

5) List all the installed apk files, type “ls“ and press enter (find the one you want to extract)

In another command window, pull one of the files on to your computer by typing:

“adb pull /data/app/application.apk name.apk” and press enter

Example:

“adb pull data/app/com.mauri.aplikeishon.apk aplikeishon.apk”

You can find the extracted .apk files in the /tools/ directory of your SDK (usually C:\android-sdk-windows\tools\)

Easier Method

Why not just use a root file manager and navigate to the file and copy it?

root>data>app

[HTC Sensation] sromer:
or just use Titanium Backup... haha
[HTC Sensation] ashik992:
Some backup apps like Android Assistant also allows to create .apk from installed apps

tnx dude :o

it was helpful for unrooted phones.

"Share apps" also do this

Well years have passed and android has now embarked on the L journey but I recently saw this post and remembered i too had the need to backup the apps on my phone so I used a function of the desktop version of the mobogenie software.:good:
[HTC Sensation] rauma:
You can use my this tool to extract apk file

How to extract apk files in Android

Here's how I extract apk files in android:

1. Download and install APK Extractor in your device. It is free, and is compatible in almost all of the Android devices. Another plus point is it does not even require root or anything to work.

2. After you have it installed, launch it. There you will see a list of apps which are in your device, which include the apps you’ve installed later, along with the system apps. Long press any app you want to extract (you can select multiple or all apps at once), and click on the extract option you see in the top. You will also have the option to share via Bluetooth or messaging.

3. You’re done, you will see the extracted apps as AppName_AppPackage_AppVersionName_AppVersionCode.apk, which will be saved in the path /sdcard/ExtractedApks/ by default.

Hi there,

is bluetooth tethering working in CM9 on the HTC Desire S aka Saga? I'm running the CM9 alpha build of 13 June 2012.

I have a HP Touchpad aka Tenderloin, also running under CM9. I want the tablet to use the phone's 3G connection. Pairing of the two devices is fine. I also checked the option on the Tenderloin to use the paired device's internet connection... But it's not working. The tablet has no internet connection.

What do you think were the problem is, on the phone or on the tablet?

What is missing? Can a noob like me help? I'm a coder, but new to Android hacking.

Regards.

Hello together!

As I'm not (yet) allowed to post there, I have to ask here.

In http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1683638 it is written, that

.

Does it means, it is already running?

Do I have to activate it (how)?

I installed A2SD, but it displays "apps are on SD" but only 20MB available of 24MB (on a 2GB oder 10GB partition, i'm still not sure how to differentiate sdcard and sd-ext)!

What is going wrong?

I also checked "DT: Auto start" in the Tweak Manager and tried a2sd cachesdreset in Terminal Emulator, which was quitted with "EXT partition is not mounted"...

Any ideas or instructions would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

[Nokia Lumia 800] ChrisKringel:
Instead of everyone complaining about the original question can we get back to on topic?

At the moment the Bootloader of the 800 is in most cases locked so it is impossible to flash even customized Windows Phone 7 ROMs. The Lumia 710 (and a few Lumia 800s) have an unlocked Bootloader with direct access to the NAND storage. So technically it would be possible to run an alternative OS on the Lumia 710 and very few Lumia 800s. The issue here is that there are no drivers for Nokia, so you will be out of luck in the near future.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erdingerchamp66:
Hi All,

Does anyone know if I can use my rooted SGS2 over in Europe? Specifically I'm using a rooted T989 running TDJ's Darkside Evolution 3 v7 with the venom kernel and the Touch0Color theme. I'm going to the Netherlands, where I think I can just get a local Tmobile (NL) sim and be fine, and the Romania, where I believe the phone will work on the Orange network.

Since the phone is rooted, it should also be unlocked, so there shouldn't be a hitch in just switching the sim and being up and running, correct?

Any thoughts, and especially first hand experience, would be appreciated.

I just want to make sure I'm not missing something completely obvious that makes simply buying the cheap $15 throw away the better option.

Thanks,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
That's correct. Just call tmo for the unlock code...tell them the truth-you're going overseas. When you get there get a local SIM and pop it in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] badaphooko01:
your phone should work in with any gsm carrier to make phone calls but your phone has to be unlocked. I dont know how the data will work since most gms carriers frequency bands are different from Tmobile's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] erdingerchamp66:
Ok, so I went to T-Mobile as instructed, and they said they would get back to me in 14 days (I know, right?). So they just sent me the below.

What should I do? I'm still wondering if the phone is just blanket unlocked as a result of the root and the new rom, but I'd prefer not to go buy a prepaid AT&T sim to find out. Can anyone out there advise?

Here's what T-Mobile sent me.

BEGIN

T-Mobile Phone #: 5********9

T-Mobile Sim Unlock Request

Sim Unlock Reference: 5*****6

IMEI: 3*************0

Thank you for taking the time to contact T-Mobile. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide the unlock code at this time. After review of the account we have determined that the device is not in use with the corresponding mobile number. T-Mobile policies and procedures state that the device must be in use on the mobile number requesting the unlock code. If this is a new device please allow 3-4 business days prior to submitting a new request to allow your usage to update in our system.

Thank you,

SIM Unlock Department

Thank You,

Sim Unlock Department

T-Mobile USA, Inc.

END

I checked the numbers twice, and they are correct. But, obviously, I'm using the number with the phone on t-mobile without a hitch ...

So I called T-mobile, and asked what's what. They said that they couldn't even see what my phone was on the system, and then suggested that I call Samsung. Samsung said that they couldn't verify ownership of the phone and said to call tmobile. So I'm wondering what's going on here. The tmobile rep did say that she doesn't think that I'd be able to use an AT&T sim even though I rooted my phone. How would they know though, isn't the normal android stuff unlocked?

Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stranger2all:
"rooted" and "unlocked" are not same terms.

I have rooted my phone and requested Unlock code from t-mobile before my trip to russia. Their policies state that you have to be t-mobile's customer for at least 40 days.(though because of circumstances they gave it to me on 39th day)

In russia I bought local sim card, slip it in my S2, followed an instructions provided by t-mobile and had no problems to place/receive calls and use an Internet. Though speed was 3G.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] premiatul:
First, Rooted it doesn't mean Unlocked! They are 2 different operations.

You can be Rooted but NOT Unlocked, you can be Unlocked but NOT Rooted

and you can be Rooted AND Unlocked.

That being said, I beleive you have to be on Stock ROM when you

request the unlock code. With a custom ROM they don't recognize

your phone.....

If you don't want to flash back to stock until you get the code, then I would

go to a local cell phone store (not a company, just a local that sells

phones for all major carriers) and ask them to unlock it for you.

It should take about 5 min. and should cost about $20.

You can also go in Romania and unlock it there for about $5.

I know nothing about Netherlands, but it should be the same.....

Good luck and have a nice vacation.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wizholt7:
Not sure if this should be in Q&A or Android Dev, but here it is (sorry if there is a thread on this already, the forum search doesn't appear to be working atm)

I work in a Sprint Service Center, and I have seen a lot of Samsung phones (primarily the Epic 4G Touch, Replenish, and Conquer) that have the issue where the phone shows it is charging when it is not plugged in, even if it is turned off. The red charging light will be on and the charging animation will be there, but obviously it doesn't charge.

I have explored several fixes for this but haven't found anything that actually fixes it yet.

I have tried resoldering and replacing the charging port, I have hard reset the phone, and it seems it doesn't matter if it is on stock unrooted or on a a customer ROM. And despite what some Sprint technicians have said, it is not due to liquid damage. So far nothing I've tried has fixed this issue, it seems that this is a software issue, perhaps with gingerbread.

I would like to challenge the Dev's if you aren't already doing so, to search the coding in the software to see if you can find what is causing this. It's not an overwhelming amount of phones that have this issue, but it is more than enough to note.

Also, if anyone has or hasn't experienced this issue on any of the leaked ICS ROMs, post on here so we can get an idea if it is only on gingerbread based ROMs.

I will also keep this thread updated on my progress and if I find anything new.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psych0r3bel:
Hey. Another Sprint tech here. Been seeing the same issue come in, both customers with Epic 4G Touch models, and both after the most recent ICS update.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MJPollard:
The Atrix will likely not get an official CM9 build until/unless ICS for the Atrix (containing the necessary binary drivers, which are proprietary) is released. The unofficial ports have to make do without them, cannibalizing code and parts from other phones in order to make it work, which is why they still have stability issues (though they do work most of the time). When ICS is released (yes, I said when; unlike others, I have faith that it will be), we'll likely see a flurry of CM9 development from the Atrix Dev Team.

As I am new at this I have one question. If I try to upgrade to 0.7.0.0 will I need to wipe or can I just flash it. I installed the gapps separately and did not wipe and it worked fine. I do remember reading somewhere during my search for knowledge on this subject that for small updates you don't need to wipe. Not sure how reliable tha info is.
