Hi,i have a problem,i want to use the GO Lockscreen,but every time i lock the phone,first the sense lockscreen apears and after i drag the circle the GO Lockscreen pops out,happends sometimes with MILocker,does anybody has an ideea how to remove the Sense Lockscreen or make the GO Lockscreen primary as you select when you install GO EX Launcher.I mean,when i installed the go launcher the phone asked what do i want to complete actions and i selected go launcher and always use this,but for the lockscreen i didn't find any option.Can anybody help me?Thank you.
[HTC One X] _ice_man_:
you need to download a custom lock app form the market called no lock which disables custom screen lock.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] elosogrande7076:
Hello everyone,

I just got my S3 yesterday and have already rooted it and attempted to use Titanium Backup (TB). I was able to successfully restored a couple of apps, but the bulk of my apps wont restore. When restoring I am not receiving any errors, and it appears as it is processing/restoring them correctly, but when it finishes it says (it does say Restore complete), the apps do not appear in my app draw and in TB they have a line struck through them (typically means that it sees the backup information but it is not installed on the phone).

Anyone have any ideas?

Im on Sprint 16gb S3 and am coming from rooted OG Evo. I use the Root method found here

Thanks for your time and help

Did you try rebooting your phone?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] elosogrande7076:
Thanks for the quick replies guys. I have tried rebooting my phone and still no luck. I came from CM9 on the EVO so there shouldnt be a problem with ICS (unless there is something that I dont know). Thanks though.

I did download one app and it was a lot of steps but was able to restore the data for that app. I am going to see if I can find the files for my sideloaded apps and restore the data that way.

If anyone else has any idea why this isnt working in the first place I would love to hear about it. thanks
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jsnmarek:
Did you try manually restoring the apps? Titanium backup won't mix old data with a new version of the app or vice versa. If an app updated and you have old data backed up with the app, you would have to manually restore the app if I remember correctly.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] elosogrande7076:
Thanks. I tried but it wont let me manually restore them. When i click on the app, the option to manually restore is not there (it happens both when I have or havent manually downloaded the app). I can see that it still says that the current rom/phone is my Evo. So i am wondering if that has to do with it....just really strange. wondering what i did wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jsnmarek:
Check out titanium backups website and Check the troubleshooting page. I think it talks about transfering apps from different phones.

GO SMS Pro Themes Jelly Bean

Hello!

I'me having a lot of issues too with my go sms pro themes. They can't be properly read from go sms pro now that they are installed into the folder mnt/asec by the play store in jelly bean .

This is the thread on google code for info:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=34880

Google is not going to fix this (they said in the google code thread) although it causes a lot of problem. I don't really understand their logic.

They change that folder without saying a thing and cause this mess. Then they say that the developers need to fix this path. But the really annoying thing is that because of this only who pay the app is damaged, because who pirates it has a perfect working app.

I've written to the go sms dev team and they seemed totally unaware of the problem. I've said them they need to add that path in go sms pro in order to have themes working again in jelly bean. But I don't know if they can or will fix this.

Google is really doing a big mess with jelly bean in some aspects. This is a really bad thing and needed to be disclosed with developers before making the change.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] pollanza:
I'm thinking they will never fix this. Google say that the application need to be fixed (in this case go sms pro) and the go sms dev team doesn't seem to mind about this problem. All their themes now are Getjar "FREE" or in-app buy. So they really don't care about all the customers of their older themes or about all the other dev that can't add their theme as an in-app purchase.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SsZzliMm:
Hi All !

I have a strange question:

I've installed the GotBrickBug v1.1 app on my Note and made a screenshot:

As you can see my eMMC chip has a dangerous revision (0x19). As the result says: "DANGER ! This eMMC chip is *KNOWN* to have the brick bug !"

This is pretty funny, because I wiped my phone ... I don't know ... 20 times and still no problem at all. I know I'm very brave, or simply just very stupid :D But here is the question: How could it be ? Because one of the threads of BrickBug in here says the official kernels are has it too like the leaks. But my Note still alive. Am I lucky, or this problem caused by faulty custom ROMs ??? Ohh, and I copied and erased large files (like AVI movies) and still no problem too.

You can say anything about me, but this is my opinion. No offense ! I'm just a simple user, not a developer, so if anyone want to say anything, or want to discuss just go on.

Thanks !

Not a strange question at all!

You could wipe 1000 times and not get bricked - however, if it happens it happens.

I also have wiped lots of times, mostly from unsafe kernels. I know the risks, but I'm lazy and if my Note gets bricked I would simply buy another.

We're not special, we're just lucky that's all!

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
I am happy with GB, don't want to upgrade to ICS (I haven't heard of any features I really want, don't want to risk 4G speed downgrade), so I wanted to get rid of the ICS update notification on my non-root E4GT. I played with killing the background processes programmatically, but it didn't help. But the following simple trick seems to have worked like a charm.

1. Make sure you close any current OTA update dialog, e.g., by tapping on Later.

2. Go to the device's Settings, and choose Date and Time.

3. Uncheck Automatic.

4. Tap on "Set date" and choose a date far into the future. Try for several years in the future, but it may not let you. (I had odd behavior when I set for several years in the future--it set it momentarily, but then changed the date back by itself. If it doesn't let you set several years in the future, you can also put it in airplane mode, which makes it more flexible with respect to time setting.)

5. After tapping on "Set", you should immediately get the OTA update dialog again. Tap on "Later". This should make the OTA update dialog come up later than the date you set in step 4, or maybe not at all. (On my device, I can't get it to come up at all, no matter what date I set. )

6. Put a checkmark beside Automatic.

And that's it.

After reboot, you still get a status bar icon (which you can clear with the Clear button), but not the annoying dialog.

I tested this by setting the date to various dates in the future. Prior to the trick, as soon as I moved the clock forward by an hour, it would pop up the dialog. Now it doesn't. I'll have to see if it pops it up if I just wait naturally. But so far so good, despite several test reboots.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
Yeah, but I think those methods need root. For instance, without root one can't access /cache. I don't have root (because despite having the phone for a couple of months I haven't found a root method that's both safe and 100% legal; the standard methods involve downloading a modified copy of the firmware from an unofficial source, and that's a likely violation of Samsung's/Sprint's/Google's copyright, though IANAL). My method doesn't need root.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
Your reasons for not rooting are silly. Download the Kernel source from Samsung which they have to give you. Compile a rooted kernel and then flash it to your phone, enjoy the yellow triangle but you were "safe and legal". Taking updates over the air is as unsafe as flashing through ODIN. After your bricking trying OTA because a power fault in your phone caused it to shut off mid update you would take it to a Sprint store that services and likely have your phone flashed through ODIN as long as the bootloader is not corrupted. Though thats the free option that you can do yourself. Warranty exchange costs money :p Firmware updating any device you own with any method is extremely unsafe. People will always have to live with that.

Samsung must have given Galaxy S2's to the CyanogenMod team asking them to put CM on it because they wanted both Google's Open Source OS to not be on it and for them to not use Samsungs source to develop a rooted and custom os for it :p

But any method working would be valid for those normal users who don't wish to update. I do laugh at those poor unknowing souls who have this phone as a phone and they have an update crammed down their throat.

I was wondering how people would deal with this and while most would at some point get home and click update if the Super Brick bug had not been fixed how many would end up like Galaxy Note owners.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
Unfortunately, the so-called kernel file (zImage) includes not just the Linux kernel itself, but also the initramfs. While Samsung provides complete Linux kernel source, it does not (as far as I know; I last checked in April) provide source code to all the binaries contained in the initramfs, such as redbend_ua. So if you build from Samsung-provided source, you get a zImage that won't work on the device, unless you add in the initramfs files. This is a loophole in the GPL2, it seems. Now, I guess I could pull these copyright-encumbered files from my device into the initramfs, but I am worried that I'll omit some necessary file and then get a device that won't boot, with no legal way of restoring the stock ROM (other than bringing it in to Sprint service, but Sprint would have the right to refuse service, since it'd be my own fault), since without root I can't run dd to backup the original kernel from the device. Plus I have little experience with initramfs. In any case, this is getting offtopic. Though if someone has a way around my difficulties, or is able to hand-hold me through creating a working initramfs, I would be very, very grateful for a PM.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RainMotorsports:
So your actually afraid of legal action from Sprint or Samsung from downloading the unrooted EG30 tar and ODIN which itself is also a leak? Wow. As an end user about the only thing you have to worry about is your ISP and had you done it a couple months ago I wouldn't have worried. At this point in the US we now have to worry about an ISP falsely accusing you for downloading trial software from its distributor lol.

You will never get the source to the proprietary binaries and most often will not get replacements for them either. Sony apparently was very kind to the CM team giving them a stripped down camera driver for alot of their phones.

Compile the kernel and send it to me I will test it for you. I flash every day. Oh wait thats right you wouldn't want to distribute something I distribute 500 times a day. Nevermind.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
I have no fear of legal action here. However, I believe that in normal situations one has a moral duty to obey the law, except when the law is fundamentally unjust (parts of copyright law are stupid, but it's not fundamentally unjust), or something like that. But as I said, this is getting off-topic.

If it's one copy and for testing purposes, it might qualify as fair use. I'll think about your kind offer. I'm kind of busy with other projects, though, at the moment.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
Back to the original topic: it's a new day, and no update notification. It's looking like my simple method works. Plus, if I change my mind, the update is still there on the device.

By the way, I discovered a previously unknown exploit that let me root the phone without downloading any unofficial firmwares. Here's my report on the vulnerabilities that make the exploit possible.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
While this comment takes away from your op, and since you made it a comment here, i just have one thing to say.

Since your ethical view leaves to in a quandary of what is legal or not, you're simply rehashing an issue that dates back to 2010 and jailbreaking.

Its already been deemed appropriate for electronic devices to be made code available to the owner.

Good for you on ethics, but don't preach legalities.

:edit: And just because your ethical view leaves to question what you are doing, the above quote leaves you in hypocrisy status alone. You sir, found an exploit. Is that not the definition of hacking?

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
There is a DMCA exception for jailbreaking/rooting a phone (it's expiring this year, but hopefully the Library of Congress will renew it; even Apple isn't challenging the exemption this time around!), so as far as I know it is legal to root a phone if one can do so by legal means. My only objection is to downloading modified copyrighted firmwares without the firmware copyright holders' (Samsung and Sprint) permission. I have no objection to rooting one's phone when it can be done without such downloads. There is nothing wrong with hacking when (a) it's done by legally permissible means and (b) one's purposes aren't unethical.

p.s. I passed the vulnerabilities on to Samsung two weeks prior to publicly posting them, in accordance with responsible disclosure procedures.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MoHoGalore:
Please show me, or anyone else here, where we or anyone is violating copyright laws..

The DCMA of 1998, which you are referring, has been appealed and over ruled. That is what gave (gag) Apple users the right. And undoubtedly the rest of the electronic community.

If we, or anyone else here, was violating copyright laws, do you really think XDA would be in existence?

It is a good op. And it helps people. But don't sidestep your previous comments.. Ill leave it at this - leave the legal talk to the legal folks.

THANKS :)

Thanks so much for this info!!! The OTA nag dialog was really getting old - just reset my phone back to GB after the ICS - see how fast I can drain your battery life, upgrade. I'm assuming that since you haven't posted otherwise, it is still working for you :).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] arpruss:
I assume it would be working still, but ever since I got root on the device, I disabled the OTA update component of the Google Framework by using Autostarts, so it's a moot point on my device.

By the way, I get the impression that my wife's E4GT, which came from the store with ICS, has better battery life than my GB-based one. It could just be all the apps I've got installed, of course, but I get the impression that she gets a lot less drain with 4G than I do.

I know this question is very opinion based, but I am currently in the market for a 10.1 android tablet. What seems to be the two tablets that I am debating between is the Asus TF300 vs the Samsung 10.1 (1 or 2). One reason i chose these tablets is for price, they are both reasonable and not too expensive. My main questions are:

-Which one is better performance (TF300 is Quad core, but in power saver mode it uses only 2 cores)

-Which one has a better development team for Roms, Upgrades, Ect

The main feature i want from it is when you double tap a day to add an event (for the whole day) like for instance i add my shifts E or L to it so i can just quick scan ahead to see my shifts, i also like the way it highlights them all in a line too with the option of setting different colours (holidays etc)

I, too, love S-Planner and all of Samsung's S Apps really. S-Note and S-Memo are extremely useful for me, as a school student, to be able to note down information for school and S-Planner lets me set deadlines for homework and just generally organise my life. Although flashing seems difficult to me, the lose of S-Pen apps is what keeps me using the admittedly flawed stock ICS.

Okay, let me preface this with the following: Yes, I've searched through XDA, Rootz, and Google to try to solve this. I've unlocked plenty of devices before including both the LTE GNex and the GSM variant.

I cannot for the life of me get my Nexus 7 to be recognized as an ADB device. No drivers automatically install regardless of what mode the device is in when connected...which is fine, I'm used to manually installing drivers...assuming I can FIND the d*** things. I've uninstalled all Samsung drivers just in case and yes, all SDK tools and drivers are up to date.

I found this thread with the Universal Naked Driver v0.7 and tried manually pointing to it from Device Manager (on Windows obviously). It says Windows found the driver software but that "The hash for the file is not present in the specified catalog file." blah blah it won't install the drivers. I've tried redownloading to be sure the download wasn't corrupt and that didn't help.

I'm literally pulling my hair out and it's incredibly annoying that Asus doesn't make drivers available on their website. Does anyone have any ideas?? Thanks!
