[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firebird2000:
Hello all.

I recently purchased 4 gTablets as they were on sale a couple weeks ago.

I bought 2 for my daughters (Their birthdays are coming up), and while I was at it I got one for me and one for my wife as well.

The stock ROM was crap, as expected, so I used the instructions in the post for ICS 1.3. I flashed CWM successfully and then NVRAM'd it then put the new ICS 1.3 on it. It works Great!!!

I then spent the last 2 days installing my them, icons, widgets, apps and I think I have it working very well with a nice interface and good apps.

I have made a backup of it in CWM so I can restore back to this point if needed.

My question is, Can I clone my backup to the other 3 gTabs that I bought so I don't need to go through all that work of getting it all set up again?

If so, What steps do I need to take on the other gTabs?

Just install CWM, copy the backup to the internal SD Card and then update?

Will that work or do I need to copy other files ystems to them as well?

If I could just clone the other 3e, it would save me so much time.

Thanks!

Also, is there a way to get the camera and microphone working with ICS?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10roller:
no cam/ mic on ICS.

to "clone" install CWM recovery on all tablets then copy the backup folder from /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup to the same location. then go to the recovery on each tablet and restore the file that was made when you backed up your first tablet.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firebird2000:
Thanks..I'll give it a try..

Just one question...

My tablet has my gmail account information already in it...for mail, market etc...

Once I clone them...How do I change the account information on the other 3 tablets to unique gmail accounts?

Thanks again!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
You'll have to enlarge the system partition on the other tablets (using the Team DRH nvflash package), then do the CWM restore as the poster above said.

You can

a) either add a new account (Settings > Accounts & sync > ...) and delete the old one, or

b) create a new one and make that the primary one in things like Market.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GinoAMelone:
Handy tip for this scenario. I use my Google account for all purchases and set it up as a secondary account on the rest of the family's devices. Makes buying an app for the daughters to use much easier and means I never have to allow them the ability to spend money via Android. ;-)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobe1976:
Another help full tip. Before making a backup Wipe Cache and also Dalvic Cache. That way your nandroid backup will only have the data and system to transfer to the other tablets.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

The only way to delete the old original account is to wipe data factory reset on the 2nd and 3rd devices, which defeats the purpose of having the same setup on other devices. I think they would be better off doing option b
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajeevvp:
This is simply incorrect. You can trivially delete the account using Settings > ... as I said. ICS will even ask you if you want to create a backup account right afterwards.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dcooterfrog:
I just received my nexus 7 so I wil lbe selling my a100.

questions it is rooted unlocked cwm (stock ics) should I return it to stock ics unrooted before I sell

I have 2 chargers an a bluerex case any suggestions on value?
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Locally they run about $180 tops and average $150. Most have cases or some kind off accessories. Ask what you feel its worth, not what others think it should be worth, then adjust how you wish.

IMO leave it modded, for some potential buyers its a huge bonus since they won't have to do it themselves, but can also be a turn off for others, again its entirely your call.

As you're planning to sell it may I suggest black hole nullifier? It'll wipe it clean with zeroes so no one can pull data from it, including internal SD.

Tapatalked from my A100 - Jellytime V8.4
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] dcooterfrog:
that's exactly whatI hoped. 180 would make me very happy, 150 would make me satisfied.

I guess I should just return it to stock I am not really concerned about data on it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] pio_masaki:
Like I said its all up to you and good luck with the sale!

Lucky... I would say 180 :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] toosooty:
Could anyone out there tell me if the S Note that you got with the ICS update - NOT downloaded from S Choice, or from the file that I saw floating around the forum, just the ones that came with ICS automatically - matches the following permissions?

- Your personal information

add or modify calendar events and send email to guests without owner's knowledge, read Browser's history and bookmarks, read calendar events plus confidential information, read contact data, read user defined dictionary, write Browser’s history and bookmarks, write contact data

- Your messages

Why I want to know, if you're interested:

I didn't get S Note with my ICS update (SGH-i717R - Canadian, Rogers), and after a song and dance with support, was told by one agent/one email support to download it from the S Choice app store ... and by one call agent that I should stay away from it because it's not from Samsung and possibly malware.. Since S Note was supposed to come with the update, and only My Story needed additional downloading, I was a little wary.

My misgivings started with the bad grammar in the description, the different developer from the My Story app, and finally, the giant pile of permissions it wants. I've tried a slew of things to get S Note/Premium Suite to initialize, and am now at either reflashing the update, which I'd like to avoid since the phone works fine and I don't know what the hell I'm doing, or mailing it in “to the lab,” which I'd like to avoid because apparently not all of Samsung knows what it's doing either, judging by some of the answers I got. So I'd like to just do a comparison to see if the original S Note that comes with ICS also has these permissions. If it does, then I'm just going with the S Choice one and stop trying other things.

Thank you for any help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] toosooty:
Anyone? I know it's a bit of an oddball question, but..? (Unless nobody got it with ICS, which wouldn't surprise me, either.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Stampaufaz:
Matches what i have... I dont think its anything bad. Samsung proabably wants snote to have full functionality. Insert contacts and be able to call them from the app, geo tag your location etc... Look at the permissions of facebook... They are not that different.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] toosooty:
Fantastic - thanks! I was mostly put off by the description of the app "this application is S note can make own note." doesn't exactly scream "I am legit software put out by Samsung, download me!" But if it's pretty much what the original has, then I'm fine.

Again, thanks!

[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
If only, if only...
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
If they do, it won't be from HTC, as HTC a while back said they were done with qwerty phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] matijaerceg:
I think they said they're 'moving away' but not necessarily 100% done
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Aye, indeed. Ur right, there is still hope from HTC. But i'd be more than happy if we got an GalaxyS3 with a hw kb. I doubt we'l get a removable battery/sd from HTC again.
[G2 and Desire Z General] riahc3:
It wont be from HTC. They have said they are done with QWERTY phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
Moving away does not equal "We will never make one again". Besides, releasing one keyboard model for a single carrier is not exactly a crazy notion.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Especially if you consider how many G2 users might actually renew their 2-year contract for a free upgrade to a G3. (most of my family has already done this with their own phones, and I'm eligible to upgrade as well from my G2... if there was a comparable phone for it...)
[G2 and Desire Z General] blk_jack:
IF this happens I hope they follow suit and also release it in Canada / Worldwide under the same bands as the DZ. That's the reason the G2/DZ has such a strong community, because it's worldwide.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
One would hope, it would also be more profitable for HTC to be able to sell the same phone on a worldwide market with simply different branding like they did with the G2/DZ. It's just a matter of, is there a demand for it outside of say T-Mobile users. (I would say there is, but HTC would have a better idea of the numbers).
[G2 and Desire Z General] Cel1084:
The name Era 42 makes sense for a keyboard phone as 42 would be the perfect number of keys for a 4 row qwerty phone. The G2 has 43 including though shortcut keys and search key I never use.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Omg i hope this is true. Im getting an S3 the beginning of next month so i better hear some more news SOON.
[G2 and Desire Z General] captainreynolds:
Same situation here!
[G2 and Desire Z General] 313dash:
It sounds nice but I don't think HTC will make another phone with KB. Hopefully I'm wrong because I'm an HTC fan. I see the BLAZE Q is coming out pretty soon and spec. aren't that bad.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
It might be the same phone as shown in this Patent filing: http://www.patentbolt.com/2012/07/htc-patent-reveals-new-slide-out-styled-smartphone-design.html
[G2 and Desire Z General] Cel1084:
Oh spiffy 3 position that will be nice. Hopefully it won't be on step behind like the G2 was. That was said It launch on month then in was obsolete the next. I'm still using though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] santajin:
Will continue using my G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] Doc76013:
I would be the first in line LOL I love the G2 keyboard and the style of the phone. Like it has been said here IF ONLY.
[G2 and Desire Z General] skui:
sorry guys, as i said i cannot post imgs and links, but i'm taking a look to the internet and i'm finding lots of articles about One Z

and also about an LG concept with qwerty keyboard

..take a look you too ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:
If there is a battery door and it is world wide. This will be my next phone :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] skui:
as it is for me :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dukenukemx:
Sucks to be people who didn't wait and bought the SIII phones.
[G2 and Desire Z General] wileykat:
Ha. Your right,..... Luckily my contract isn't up for renewal til Nov. ..... But would also suck for us if the rumor mill had it completely wrong. Fingers crossed we get something like what was posted earlier from those patent thingies.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
Well, I can tell you for sure that the G3 won't have a SuperAMOLED HD display, so maybe they aren't too upset.
[G2 and Desire Z General] revwillie:
A friggin trackpad would be nice. I use the G2 trackpad all of the time because my fat fingertips can't get the cursor to blink where I want.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Sucks for me cuz next week and i get an upgrade. So wtf do i do? Wait on rumors or buy straight out when it comes out?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
LoL Tell me about it, especially with text selections.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Atomix86:
Super LCD2 doesn't have the problems that a pentile RGBG subpixel setup brings, so maybe they are :).

[G2 and Desire Z General] KyraOfFire:
Not really...

Considering how HTC locks up the bootloader, never released ICS for G2, canceled DHD ICS update (basically treats their customers like crap), I doubt I would buy HTC again.

Samsung was thought to be horrible in post sale customer services, and now HTC is seizing the throne.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
HTC didn't cancel the ics update, Telus did. DHD is still getting official ics.
[G2 and Desire Z General] eboy_gb:
Actually :( http://blog.htc.com/2012/03/ics/
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
Nope HTC canceled it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
WHAT THE HELL

Well, when the GNote 2 comes out, I'll be picking up a reduced-price Note :)

I'm not even going to consider getting a G3 now, htc have lost a lot of respect from a lot of people
[G2 and Desire Z General] skui:
i am veeeeeeery close to be another ex-htc customer..

i really wish to speak face-2-face to an htc manager to let him see that my "outdated-hardware phone" is working better with an unofficial ics rom than the froyo-gb stock..
[G2 and Desire Z General] eboy_gb:
Yeah, I'm thinking either a nexus device or note as well :good:
[G2 and Desire Z General] austriker27:
wow yes please this g2 is amazing and I'm so impressed with ICS on it. I would pre-order a g3 in a heartbeat!

Yes! Yes! Yes!
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
All of this, I'm done with HTC. Im done with Qwerty equipped phones too, it seems most are going to be mid level spec wise. New phones with bigger screens and add in Swiftkey, make up for a lack of a physical keyboard.

If HTC does make a G3, you can expect it to be behind the One series in support and probably specs. Its wont be their flagship like the One series.

Hearing the news about the DHD not getting ICS is pretty much forcing me to sell my G2. Wouldn't be surprised to see alot of developers move on.

From now on Im sticking with Nexus devices.
[G2 and Desire Z General] knightslay2:
I guess I will not buy HTC phone. They can't provide a god user experience for us I might go get a Samsung phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] popimp315:
HTC is about to lose me as well. I was kind of excited when I saw this post. But not anymore once I saw that they cancelled the dhd ics. Which makes no sense because you have that crappy little phone htc desire c or whatever running ics. So for them to say it won't work is bull****. They are just looking for more money and don't realize they are losing it. They are forcing people away who made them what they are. If tmobile gets the iphone I may just go iphone, I'm tired of this.

Ew iphone? I would never go that far
[G2 and Desire Z General] austriker27:
Have you tried the ICS roms? I have been running the one in my sig for about one month with minimal issues (basically have just had the browser freeze. But I count those occurrences on one hand. Thats it. Its amazing. And smooth and fast). Id really recommend trying it out before selling/buying new phone..
[G2 and Desire Z General] popimp315:
Its sad, but there is way too much aftermarket for it. HTC is ****in up, and I hate samsung anything.

[G2 and Desire Z General] chongox:
HTC

I been waiting for them to release a proper QWERTY,

but they say they have not interest

I been waiting for them to relase ICS for my G2, remember G2 was nearly 1 year old when ICS was anounced

they never say a word

now I was keeping my hopes on the HD ICS relased because my only faith was in xda developers

and thats is cancel

now i can't care less about whatever they want to do, whatever would be too late

I already make up my mind and I will get a S Note

I been using HTC phones with HK since 2006 and i was proud to see how they become from a no-brand to a mayor player

but they seems to lost the touch with the customers and now numbers don't look good for them neither

I don't want them to go down , but i would not cry for them either

soo long htc
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Well that is one thing i am also definitely jealous about, so many accessories being made specifically for the iphone
[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:
Omg you are the same as any other person ranting htc with the same desire c bull****.

Desire C has sense 4.0A wich is MUCH ( read MUUUUCH) lighter then sense 3.6. So the desire c can run it with ease... if they gave the desire c a 3.6 sense the phone would be crap....

If you compare phones that will get ICS say Desire S or Incredible S. Those phones have the same specs and will get the update. Desire C can't even be compared software wise.

Edit: commenting on iPhone thing people here are ranting about. IPhone isn't that bad.

1. You can expect updates even if it is 3 years old.

2. The software is smooth as f**k.

3. More apps to play with

And the bad, Apple just sucks. That is the only thing why I am not buying an iPhone ( ignoring that you can't take out the battery and price).
[G2 and Desire Z General] BootloopedMillennials:
I've tried them but in the end all the little issues tend to annoy me over time. It ends up not being the developers fault (they are doing the best with what they have) but HTC's.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dukenukemx:
After hearing that the Desire HD won't get ICS, I think I will begin to move away from HTC as well. The lack of support for their products is disappointing. Current ICS roms are amazing but that's thanks to the developers. No thanks from HTC. Whoever makes an impressive qwerty phone will get my vote. Don't see one yet, and still waiting for contract to end, so I'm sticking with the G2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nospin:
You mean updates with key functionality stripped out, forcing you to buy the new model to get the new features?

Hey guys, EVERYONE does this to their devices. Even apple. They are just better at hiding it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Spastic909:
Wtf is a desire c?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
Google is your Friend Yo! :D http://www.htc.com/www/smartphones/htc-desire-c/

It's a little credit card sized (-ish) phone with a 320x480 display and "Android™ 4.0 with HTC Sense™ 4"
[G2 and Desire Z General] amp:
I doubt this 'G3' will be a heavy weight competitor on par with phones like the One series, SIII, etc... I'll be surprised if it even has an S4 proc. I'll stick with my G2 and if I have the need to upgrade, it'll be a Nexus, you can't go wrong with official phone releases. Perhaps Moto Nexus? Sony (Ericsson)? I have no idea.
[G2 and Desire Z General] mapheG2:
What's the best ICS rom out there that's the most stable? I'm currently running CM7.2. And can I just flash the rom like I have been doing with the CMroms or will I have to do something extra
[G2 and Desire Z General] TobiS87:
I am done wirlth HTC too. Recently had four HTC One X. All returned due to build quality issues. I mean come on, this thing costs 600 EUR so I can expect it to be faultless! Fuethermore HTC made it, that sense even lags on a quadcore device. Thats ridiculous. Not to mention their S-Off policy...! I decided to keep my DZ for a few more months and then will get the new Nexus once its released. Just android as its ment to be and great support by Google...!
[G2 and Desire Z General] amp:
Gingerbread is your best bet. ICS Andromedus ain't bad, very good job from the devs but you can't expect a flawless experience, your gonna run into small problems though. Perhaps JB might be polished sooner.
[G2 and Desire Z General] amp:
I'm amazed on the amount of phones you went through. That definitely finalizes my decision :)

That was my ex-wife's first android phone (never cared for Motorola Blur), course she (blamed the minions) had shattered the screen not even 3 month after she got it and course was a contract phone too.
[G2 and Desire Z General] scottmog:
Ouch, i got mine in june (forget which year) for 125 bucks on craigslist LNIB condition. Heck of a deal.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Dukenukemx:
So far Andromadus Mimicry is the best. Great installation menu, and extremely fast and stable. Like all other ICS roms, it lacks 720p video. Otherwise great rom. I choose Apex for the launcher and feels much smoother. Has a lot of optimizations like V6 supercharger built in.

Just be glad you're not on the EVO 4G. Seems those guys don't even have 4G working on their phones, and ICS is still beta or alpha for them.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Indiwiz:
i seen the "one z" .. i dont believe that crap.

EDIT: but after reading through here and seeing that is was HTC that cancelled the updat for DHD, I think a lot of people will be jumping ship to Nexus devices, or Samsung. HTC is money hungry, because our Desire Z's/G2's and DHD's run ICS, and even Sense 4.0A flawlessly (performance wise). if this is happening now, this is what we can expect in about two years when its time to upgrade the phones we have then. I'm probably going to end up with Samsung or a Nexus, because this is ridiculous saying Sense 3.0/3.5/3.6 is better for the consumers than 4.0A.
[G2 and Desire Z General] johrie:
And samsung is any better then HTC because?. Nexus S got ICS and now has JB but the Galaxy S didnt get ICS.

HTC did offer ICS to older phone.. minus Desire HD now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kbeezie:
"Nexus" Phones typically get updates even if they are pretty old, mainly because said updates can come directly from Google. just the "Galaxy" (no nexus in name) series would only get updates from samsung.
[G2 and Desire Z General] killj0y:
Yea I have no idea what I'm gonna look into, but htc isn't looking too hot, with tmo you cant even get the one x only the s which is lower in the food chain. Tmo needs to step it up and demand better phones. I'm happy with the service but the selection sucks. Might just have to suck it up and go with a different brand of phone. I'm a fan of their build quality, but I don't get their anti rooting stance as of late. Moto might be better in the future now that google is at the helm but probably not for a while since whatever was in the pipeline is still there. This sucks, qwerty phones look like a dead market for the foreseeable future.

I'm willing to get a non qwerty phone provided it's root friendly and has some decent specs on tmo but I'm not holding my breathe.
[G2 and Desire Z General] popimp315:
So obviously many people see something wrong with releasing a brand new WEAKER PHONE with updated ui, and then saying phones already released are basically obsolete.....that makes so much sense...and your argument makes no sense. The comparison is HTC phones in general.
