Hello everyone

I am facing a problem to run the N.O.V.A 3 on cm7.2, anyone managed to make it work on it ?

thanks.

Edit: Solved, solution in 3rd post.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -m3tac0rt3x-:
A simple search in the forum returned the NOVA Launcher Topic [APP 4.0+] Nova Launcher - July 3, 2012

And on the first lines of that topic:

Nova requires Android 4.0.1 or higher.

Nova does NOT run on Gingerbread
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alkhafaf:
N.O.V.A 3 is a game, Nova launcher is simply a launcher :)

anyway thanks for trying to help.

Problem solved.

I changed the device model in build.prop to Nexus S and worked !! even Viber problem solved !

The game worked, though it is a little laggy, I think it works better in stock jw6

I got problem with nova 3 after flashing cm7 similar to the one you have solved. What exactly do you mean by "I changed the device model in build.prop to Nexus S ". Changing this one parameter whas enough? For me it doesn't help. Can I ask you to send me Your build.prop, so I can see what are the rest of your parameters and try to figure out, which of them can solve my problem?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeparkie:
Hopefully I have posted these questions in the right section. Kill the n00b otherwise. I have a number of questions and every time I try to research I don’t seem to get the clear answers I need, so I would appreciate some pointers or links on where I can find some nice tutorials which explain things to me in clear English.

I have been using the AKOP 4.0.4 ROM for a while now (after moving from stock 4.0) and I’m loving it. I’m comfortable with flashing ROM and can follow most guides, albeit takes a few attempts at times. I have the android sdk and have used ABD commands successfully.

My questions:

1. If I download and install a custom ROM or a standard Google factory image, can I install any MOD by flashing the update zip using clockworkmod? and can this break any stock functionality. For example I want to try out Jelly Bean using one of the various custom ROMS but I don’t want to loose the functionality of the toggles I get in AKOP 4.0.4. Is there a MOD I can flash after flashing the ROM which gives me all the added functionality.

2. What are the benefits of using a custom radio?

3. When flashing ROMS, do I need to always wipe the dalvik? What is the general rule of thumb - clear the dalvik and then do a factory reset/wipe?

4. How do I get android to backup all my appdata but NOT automatically download and restore APKs from Google once I’ve signed in from a newly flashed ROM? I generally always install apps+data from titanium ROM backup?

5. Is titanium backup the best approach for restoring apps+data after flashing a new ROM? Or would using Galaxy Nexus tool kit be a better fit?

5. Can you flash multiple MOD’s at once, or bundle them into one update.zip and flash them all together, if so do you just extract and re-zip?

6. Can I take the best MOD’s from a custom ROM and put them into another ROM? Or is this a little tricky for the average user?

7. The brightness on the Galaxy Nexus is too bright at night, is there anyway to lower it more then the slider can go?

I know I’ve asked a lot of random questions and I am attempting to educate myself will the help of the community so thank you very much for your time.

Regards,

mikeparkie
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikeparkie:
Thank you for the reply and all the pointers, just what I needed. I have some follow on questions…

4. What makes something an Accounts list? (whats the setting called in Titanium?) or Do you mean just restore user apps and not system apps?

7. I was referring to the minimum brightness, doesn’t the AOKP tweak just allow you to adjust the sensitivity of the senor?

8. When installing a ROM update, can you install the ROM on top of another ROM as long as it’s the same ROM and just an incremental update i.e. build 39 to build 40? As long as I assume the change log for the developer doesn’t say to wipe.

9. Something I’ve always noticed is after flashing a ROM and reinstalling Gapps that my Profile contact card is missing and I have to rekey all my details, is there away to restore this?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
4) just restore user apps

7) i think it lets you tweak min brightness

8) yes. if you have problems after a flash over the current rom, you would need to wipe everything and reflash the rom however

9) i wouldnt restore it as it is part of a system app

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] jhojgaard:
Hi,

I have installed the latest build (15/7-2012) of locera's UNOFFICIAL CM9 build - and it went fine.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1542911

Im using CWM-Recovery 5.5.0.4 that locera also created

But after i tried to shutdown the tablet, i just keeps showing Samsung splash/CM9 Splash and then reboots.

I have tried to clear the cache, but it does not help.

Anybody got any ideas?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] acc_kareemomar:
Just flash ics stock rom with Odin and make data factory reset (this will remove all things in device if you have any important files move to extsd)

Then flash cwm recovery and flash any custom rom you want

Good luck
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
Going from CM9 to official ICS I was also getting a bootloop. To get official ICS to work, I had to flash official ICS with Odin, then reboot in stock recovery and make a full reset. I think that going to or coming from CM9 creates a problem with stock rom. Even with stock HC rom it wasnt working anymore.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aridoasis:
You can try a wipe data, then wipe cache and wipe dalvik. (wipe data will remove all you apps and system setting, but your files should remain intact). If still bootlooping, (restore you backup thru CWM if you have one), reflash CM9 via CWM after doing what previously mentioned.

If that doesn't work, do what acc_kareemomar suggests.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smt8544:
Just recieved my Nexus 7 today and when going to turn it on, I was greeted by a fantastic grey, washed out screen. This can't be normal can it? Has anyone else had this problem and managed to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have attached an image for people to inspect, and the only reason I am creating a new thread is because I don't think this is the same issue as the other 'screen washed out' thread. Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kind3rgarten:
Oh wow. There is no easy way to say it but, no, that is not normal. It may be just that the display cable is not connected all the way or that there actually is something wrong with the screen itself. Either way though, I would RMA that. Tell Google to overnight it like the rest of them that are shipping and you want it advance RMAed.

The problems with these devices is unacceptable.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smt8544:
Hmm this is going to seem VERY weird, but just two seconds ago, I got up out of my chair quickly while holding the device and now the screen looks fine. What is going on with the QC with these? Would you reccomend still RMAing it? I am not even joking, I simply stood up with the device and it fixed itself.

EDIT: Well guess what. I left the device off for the duration of just writing this post and it is back to its washed out self. Looks like it's time to RMA!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kind3rgarten:
Yes, definitely. Just because the problem has(or so it appears to have) fixed itself for the time being doesn't mean that the problem won't creep up or just full blown come back right out of warranty/return window. Also, if something like that got through quality control, what else could be wrong with the device? I would still RMA to be sure. Since this problem appears to be coming and going, I would try to send a picture of the problem in action to someone at Google and have them attach it to your RMA. Maybe even try to put your Google email address in there on a piece of paper or something so that they know that you indeed did take the picture because if they recieve it with no apparent problems, they will assume that you are just returning the device and charge you a 15% surcharge.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stormtheviking:
Hi all,

I bought a samsung galaxy s3 yesterday here in China, only to realize that MANY features are missing. This includes Google Play, S Voice and other features which was the original reason why I bought this phone. So I was wondering if there is ANY way of changing the firmware of the S3 to some other firmware which does have these features or is this simply impossible?

Here is some info:

Operator: China Mobile

Model Number: GT-i9300

Android Version: 4.0.4

Baseband Version: i9300ZNLF2

I hope that is enough info to answer the question.

I have read recently about 'rooting' but I'm unsure if this has anything to do with my problem...

Thank you! Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

Hi all,

First, i'm sorry for my bad english.

Here is my problem:

I've just flash the SlimBean ROM, before, the CyanogenMod 9 was installed.

I've format:

Format /system

Format /cache

Format /data

Format /boot

and

wipe user data

wipe cache

But the Cyanogen logo, at the boot is still there... Just before the SlimBean loading.

I installed Avast and the Anti Thief "module" on the Cyanogen, can it come from there ?

I hope you understand my... so bad english.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] anuj_blaster:
use some file manager / root explorer and delete "bootanimation.zip"... from /system/media
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Akiat:
Thank you guy ! But this method deleted the SlimBean bootanimation, but the Cyanogen logo is still there :(

I think Avast Anti Thief is the cause.

Hello.

I'm proud owner of HTC Sensation but i decide to change it.

But i don't know which phone to take.I have 3 options -

- stay with HTC Sensation ( maybe in future change to One X )

- buy Galaxy Nexus

- buy Galaxy S III

What i want?

Good support from xda ( every model have )

Good hardware ( One X vs Galaxy S III )

great photo funcionality ( i think HTC sense camera app is the best i seen )

gnex have good future support from google but his HW isn't too good as S III/One X

on S III i like SW features which i hope to be ported on other phones.

So i dont know which phone to take.
[General Questions and Answers] tadeas482:
Yeah, maybe the hardware of GNex isnt the top, but but it can handle everything and Google optimizes Android for it really good. All of these are good phones. If you want a quad core proccessor, then go with either S III or One X. If dual core, but very smooth phone is enough for you, then go with GNex as it will get updates from Google. Jelly Bean brought a speed boost and extra frames, so its as smooth as S III now. Samsung is well known for stopping updating his phones. S III will get Jelly Bean, but it will not most likely get Key Lime Pie as a new Samsung flagship device will be released.
[General Questions and Answers] kymlalu:
Thanks for answer.

I think i get gnex. Just for google device and i will see :)
[General Questions and Answers] Defy@1.1Ghz:
I had to decide between the same devices one/two week ago. I've took the One X ;)
[General Questions and Answers] Super2cool:
I would suggest you get the Galaxy Nexus.

The phone is well priced and its Google's flagship device so you will continue to receive support for a while.

Google also recently dropped the price for the phone to $350 which I feel is a great deal for a brand new Android phone. Keep in mind though, they will charge you tax and shipping which brings the price to nearly $390. Nevertheless, this is a great deal!!!

It might also be worth waiting for the next Google phone. Google always releases new phones in December or at the beginning of the new year. That way you can buy the latest Google phone or you can get a steep price cut on the current (but soon to be old) Galaxy Nexus.

I have heard good things about Samsung Galaxy SIII but it cannot compete with the full support and backing of Google which the Galaxy Nexus has (for some time until it is overthrown by the next Google phone).

The thing which makes Android phones great is the software and the Galaxy Nexus will continue to receive the greatest and newest software for at least a year more so it is still a great buy.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
Just thought I'd share a little something I threw together for all the INVERTED FANS among us...

There's a pretty stable cm10 build for the T-Mobile GS3 that many of us have been using and as per usual, I couldn't leave well enough, alone... Personally, I hate white backgrouns in ANY of my apps so I took the latest JB GAPPS zip and added/replaced apps with inverted apps.

Instructions:

As per usual, make a back up before flashing this zip file!!!

On a clean install, flash your ROM then this modded Gapps zip then fix permissions and reboot.

If you already are running JB, just wipe cache and dalvik then flash the gapps, fix perms and reboot.

INCLUDED APPS:

MMS

EMAIL

GMAIL

CALCULATOR

CALENDAR

GOOGLE PLAY

GOOGLE MUSIC

GOOGLE +

YOUTUBE

GOOGLE NOW!!! LOOKS AWESOME!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] zmore:
Light text on dark backgrounds. It also saves a little battery on SAMOLED displays, because brighter colors require more energy to emit light, vs darker tones.

(anyone who's already running these inverted gapps: are there any glitches from other unchanged styled text still being dark, and hence too dark to see?)

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] crunk954:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
This will only work on JB Roms... You can extract the inverted apk's and install them on ICS Roms as well.

Anyone that's getting force closes with email, gmail or having market issues needs to go to the app manager and clear the cache and force stop in email, exchange, gmail, play store, and Google framework then reboot their phones! Should fix the issue.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] mrakifa:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
Do a clean install... Wipe everything, flash ROM, then flash the modded gapps.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
These aren't just "light colored font with a black background" the email apks are black with white font but I always try to incorporate black and ICS blue colors. Anyway...They all look awesome. Back your ROM up and do a clean install with the modded gapps... You won't be disappointed.

Of email (not Gmail) and exchange services? I've never seen those in the play store.

Update: Think I've figured it out. I deleted the email and exchange apks. I also had an exchange2 apk that i deleted. Also deleted the exchange and email folders from /data/data. Rebooted and repushed the apks and no more FCs. Probably a result of using the regular gapps pack first.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] bgweed:
Are you saying that the flashable zip is JB only, but the APKs themselves would be ok? If so, are the JB versions any different than the ICS?

I could make an ICS flashable zip of just these apps if there's any benefit...
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] drbveb88:
Yes please. I'm on a Verizon ICS rom and would love to be able to run these apps. Thanks for all your work.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
Yes... Only on CM10. BUT... Most of them will work on CM9 AND a stock rooted Samsung build using Root Explorer to install the APK'S. Just make sure to rename the inverted app to the same name as the Samsung app and also remember to fix permissions. Also, it's always a good idea to rename the system app your replacing by putting a .bak at the end so it gets saved.

Example... You can use my modded Mms.apk to replace the Samsung Mms.apk by renaming mine to SecMms.apk and fixing the permissions and renaming the SecMms.apk in the system to SecMms.apk.bak.

Always rename the system app before pasting the modded app!
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
Yes... Download the zip file, then use Root Explorer to "Extract All" then go to extracted folder and copy/paste individual APK'S to the system/apps folder. Always make sure to rename the system apk's by putting a .bak at the end before pasting the modded apps. Then fix permissions using Root Explorer then go to recovery wipe cache and dalvik cache then go to advanced fix permissions and reboot.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
Yeah... It's a bug... Not sure what's causing it. You can go into the system/apps and delete it with root explorer or use titanium and install it from the Play Store
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
Correct... You can always take any updated gapps zip and add the modded apps to the zip file and flash.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] scott.hart.bti:
Sorry to sound like a newb, but i just ported JB onto the Infuse 4g and on startup im getting the force close on the setup manager and cant get any further... Its obviously the permissions from the logcat and general knowledge.. Is this going to straighten that out so i can get through the initial setup after flashing the ROM?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] MobileAllStar:
Probably not... This is simply a modded gapps and inverted apps zip file. Sounds like you may have something incomplete or some part of the port isn't compatible.
