[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Hell all.

Just a few questions.

Most ICS roms state that its best to start with a clean stock Rom either ICS or GB.

Can I install these stock roms,root them and then back them up using CWM so that when I want to try another rom I can use my CWM android backup as startingpoint?

And is every custom rom 'nandroidable' using CWM?

Tx for your time.

So, we cause a triple murder before breakfast, start a race war before dinner - that's uh, that's a pretty good day.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonpaslim:
If your on ics it is dangerous to do a nandroid, you might meet the super brick bug.

Flash safe kernel first like cf-root 5.6, speedmod k3-8, goku, and notecore kernel. Before anything.

Here is even more safer, use abyss to do nandroid thing.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sahilarora2003:
Installing on ICS Roms (Stock Roms) are not safe... And u can take nandroid backup in CWM for all the roms but some required abyss redpill recovery to restore them successfully.. :D
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kriskras:
Thanx for the input guys. Now I know how to move on!

ics nandroid backup

Hi guys,

So does this mean that if im currently in ICS and want to do a nandroid backup, i just flash abyss4.2 kernel then do a backup?

Then it is safe to restore?

Does anyone tried this successfully?

Hi,

Ever since I've updated to stock rooted ICS on my US Verizon 4G/WiFi Xoom, and I plug the HDMI cable to a tv, the image displays properly, but the screen is completely unresponsive until I unplug the HDMI from the Xoom or the TV. Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this? I'm so confused....

Thanks!

UPDATE: It appears to only happen with a specific brand of Samung TV. Weird....

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] piattinodisegreti:
Hello, everyone.

Sorry if i'm someway off-topic, dunno where to post.

I'm in BIG trouble:

1) Htc Touch Pro (Raphael);

2) Broken screen, working as mass device, activesync disabled;

3) ABSOLUTE NEED to recover data (not the ones on the SD card of course);

4) I'm Italian. Does this matter? :)

Anyone can help???

My english is a bit out to date, so pls do not use abbreviations or be too "technical"... :)))

I apologize in advance for bothering.

Thank you all

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] R^7Z:
What type of data (in the phone and not on the SD card) are you looking to recover? I don't know if I can help but perhaps if we all knew what you were attempting to recover, someone could assist you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luminiz:
I had it rooted using the 7.4 toolkit with an OTA update of JellyBean.

Edit: I did not flash anything yet...stock 4.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luminiz:
Should I flash a ROM over it in recovery? such as AKOSP? Please Help I'm really stuck -.-
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
Not enough detail. What options did you choose for the device in the toolkit? Did you choose the correct one?

Rooting doesn't modify your ROM settings, so flashing another ROM probably will not make a difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luminiz:
Thank you for your reply! Yes I followed every direction until it was fully unlocked and rooted with CWM installed...not sure why wifi suddenly stopped.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] netbuzz:
Did unlocking the bootloader erase your phone to factory settings? If so, you had to setup your wifi from beginning, i.e. enter wifi password?

Is the wifi antenna turning on?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luminiz:
Thank you for your fast reply. Yes i erased everything through the beginning process. I skipped the wifi setup to enable usb debugging I believe. And the wifi attenna is not turnning on. I did leave the usb cable plugged in throughout the process of the Toolkit...not sure if that makes a difference...bc it says to take it out at some point.

Edit: the Wifi is on when I click on it...but when i try to connect to a network...it either doesnt do anything and stays there or keeps on saying connecting until it says disconnected

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bajsmumsaren:
If you're having problems with 4.1, why don't you try downgrading? Download something like AOKP milestone based on 4.0.1 and see if the issue disappears. Don't forget to do a full wipe (dalvik as well) in CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] V0odo0:
well i do feel like having trouble with wifi after updated to 4.1.1 ... it loses signals completely where other devices say "fair signal" .. thats kinda bad about JB update .. i think it must've got to do something with the baseband version .. my original 4.0.4 had something else and now in JB its different ..

i remember about my previous HTC .. when it comes to bad performance of signals, wifi .. etc .... the Radio must be re flashed. ..

if anybody knows anything .. please guide us ... :)

[Galaxy S III Accessories] yama0ha:
Hey fellow xda members I just wanted to share my take on the iSkin Eartones that I just received today. These are great for anyone who doesn't like in-ear headsets. The fit in your ear is very similar to the apple earbuds which for me was a huge plus because I use my headset mostly for business calls etc while I drive (which in-ear were too unsafe as they block out all outside sound). The sound quality is actually very good for an earbud. There is good lows and highs and there is an included set of foam covers to put over the tips which would give you better sealing of the ear to further enhance the sound for the music junkies out there.

They have some flex in the earbud part which allows it to fit very well in different ear shapes.

The sound quality on the other end of a phone conversation is extremely good according to my business partners.

The only downside for me is that there is no volume control. This is a letdown since the rep I spoke with at iSkin prior to ordering these said to me on two occasions that they had volume control and that it worked flawlessly with the GS3.......not sure where he was pulling that info from but he is wrong.

They are $39.99 for www.iSkin.com

Also, the shipping was super fast. I am in Calgary AB and they shipped form Toronto to me in less than a day!

Feel free to ask me any questions you may have!
[Motorola Photon 4G] 10-Dee-Q:
hi, today my photon freezes when I'm calling my friend

i tried to press the power button to turn if off but it won't shut down

i press any other button and still there's no response from the phone.

so in desperation i pulled out the battery

and the phone is dead.

i tried to install the battery again but the phone won't turn on at all

i tried to "rest" for a day but still the phone won't turn on

i've tried connecting it to wall charger but still , dead.

the battery is full cause i've tried it on my friend's photon.

so the battery is not the issue.

can anybody give me any solution ?

i can't send the phone back to sprint cause i lived overseas.

i really need help here :(

any suggestions are welcomed, thx.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Acvice:
When you plug it in to AC does it show any sign of life?
[Motorola Photon 4G] thatguy07:
A few more details would help us help you.

It's (should be) common knowledge that you can help fix something when you don't know what's under the hood.

Give us some info. Are you stock, rooted custom rom kernel etc.

Does anything occur on your phone at any time? Lights or a vibrate when charging? Do you get to the Motorola screen? If so Are you familiar with rsd and fast boot?

To get help around here we need to see a thorough post that explains all of the details. I assure you someone will attempt to come to your aid
[Motorola Photon 4G] 10-Dee-Q:
Okay here's the thing:

the photon is unlocked and using 197 SBF

rooted and unlocked (cause i install the beat audio mod)

prior to this , nothing is wrong

the phone works normally

and suddenly it hangs / freezes when i called my friend with it

so out in desperation i took off the battery

and it never turn on since

totally dead

not even motorola logo on the screen

the battery is 90% cause i tried my battery on my friend's photon and it shows 90% charge

so i don't think this is the battery problem

i tried connect it to the wall charger, nothing happened not even LED turn on

i tried connecting to my laptop usb port and the white led come out but still it won't turn on

with and without battery, when i connect it to my laptop the white led comes out.
[Motorola Photon 4G] peetr_:
Try to pull the battery more times, I know that this issue could be from pudding sbf on some Photons.

One man from here had the similar problem, flashed derpunlock.sbf, booted and after some minutes it died, he had to pull the battery, wait a few minutes and again. After full sbf flashing, it was fine.
[Motorola Photon 4G] 10-Dee-Q:
i've leave the battery out of the phone for more than 24 hour but still it won't turn on.

the weird things is that it was working fine for many months prior to this.

and i never do anything on the phone .

i mean i didn't flash or upgrade or anything.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dxl880517:
This sounds like hardware issue...
[Motorola Photon 4G] 10-Dee-Q:
if it is a hardware issues

why does the LED showing white color when connected to the computer ?

though the led is white when connected to the computer with or without battery in it.

can anyone please help ?
[Motorola Photon 4G] edozier:
Try a different charger. Mine shows white when your too dead to boot. Left it on about 30 min then a battery pull and booted up to charging screen

[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Angenit:
Not much to do... You could try reflashing, but it's not certain you'll get them back. In future try to export them to your sd card in a vcf file or keep them in your Google account (If you already have them in your G account backup your apps and wipe the phone)
[HTC Rezound] teckels:
Hey guys, I am headed to Ireland late in August and I was hoping for some tips. Here's my plan, let me know what you suggest or have experienced.

Heading over with my Rezound with a GSM rom on my SDcard, flashing during flight. May put a couple on there to try out and kill some time. Purchasing prepaid SIM card at airport, not sure how remote we will be and installing. I can troubleshoot my way to get that working so not concerned with which is best, hopefully Verizon OTA has the World Phone fix by then that they said was going to be released.

Communicating with the States; I plan on getting my fiance a prepaid phone here with data so we can use skype, gchat and or text, calls depending on how simple. Leaving no chance for unnecessary fees. (Is this the best route, what have you done)?

Thanks for any help, first time overseas so trying to get any pitfalls cleared up before heading over.
[HTC Rezound] Abu-7abash:
As long as you use one if Siul's roms, everything should fairly be simple. Just get that prepaid local sim, pop it in and boot the rom.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] geolemon:
I have been using Go Launcher EX almost as long as I've had my phone, running it on the Gingerbread ROM (stock).

I'm still using Go Launcher EX since upgrading to the stock ICS rom. I'm not happy with performance and numerous other things, but I'm troubleshooting that independently. Just wiped my Dalvik cache, and ran Fix Permissions. Could be just update bugs everyone is experiencing.

However, I'm noticing something that's made me wonder...

On GB threads going back even to my prior phone, lots of people were using Go Launcher.

On ICS threads... I haven't seen mentions of ANYONE using Go Launcher. Seems like Nova Launcher and Apex launcher are the two big ones named... which oddly seem stripped compared to Go Launcher.

What's the deal? Are there known issues running Go Launcher on ICS? Why else would there seem to be a sudden abandonment of it on ICS? :confused:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] okantomi:
No, it just seems a lot of folks enjoy something closer to the "pure" ICS experience. I couldn't be tempted...love Go Launcher. Plus we still have scrolling wallpaper...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
Nova and Apex will only work on 4.0. They are designed to look like ics and have some of the same transition, effects and what not. That's what I noticed at least.

The stock theme for GO is clean but it isn't going to be confused with ICS and everyone wants the latest and greatest.

I'm personally not impressed by apex or nova because in order to experiment with themes, options, or effects, I have to start with my wallet. I would like access to some of the goodies to see what it can do, and what the themes really look like before I start squandering my lunch money.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Houndog101:
I'm using Go launcher + , with no problems, I'm on the latest ICS update..:good:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
I used it exclusively until more recently when I made what I think is an awesome setup in ss launcher.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] someguyatx:
Go launcher seems fat and bloated compared to the other options for ICS. There were very few good GB launchers so Go was more popular.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] MiguelHogue:
I agree go launcher has a heavy feel to it. And it wasn't friendly to my battery at all.. I use apex and it has been more battery friendly and light... Go launcher is nice but they need to strip some stuff from it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dz1:
I'd like to recommend mihome miui home launcher 4.0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] davidstjohn1:
if you are on a gingerbread rom you could always use hollo launcher, just like apex, nova launcher but for gingerbread!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] optimummind:
When i was running on ics, i tried noca and apex but ended up going back to go launcher. I love the way of its customizations and it works plenty fast for me.

hello modders and members of xda !!

i know this is early for me to ask such a question when hardly there's something progressing on the Xperia Sola scene buh wth !!!

There's something that Sony should have looked into and developed for Sola as they did it for Xperia S/P/U !!!

I mean the illuminating strips !! ;)

I Know that Sola doesn't have that but it has its own illuminting bottom bar wich illuminates the bottom three keys !!!

Sony should have developed it too to glow in different colours or atleast glow during notification or atleast breadth !!!!

But NO it just wont do that. will they !!! :confused:

So here i am guessing and triein to coax modders to get into modding and crack a good deal so as to how can we have full control of that illuminating bottom bar !!! :laugh:

Good evening,

I would appreciate your advice on the current configuration of my phone.

Rom : MIUI 2.4.6

RIL : HTC-RIL 1.6.1062G

Radio : 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.08

Kernel : 2.6.35.13 ManU-2.1-GB-HAVS-AXI-128-CFS

Do you think that the kernel, RIL and Radio are adapted in performance and battery ?

Thank you in advance
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk_LA:
I think it's a good configuration, it's better to not change the RIL. The kernel is one of bests. For me latest radio works better, but maybe not for you..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo.net:
Thank you for your answer

I will go and install the latest Radio 32.56.00.32U_5.17.05.23

The kernel is one of bests ... what other kernels that are efficient?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk_LA:
LAtest Tiamat kernel was the fastest for me in MIUI, but I felt the battery consumption was higher.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo.net:

I'm pretty sure it takes an mp3 file? Just put your mp3 file at /system/media/ and name it "boot_audio.mp3"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KC37:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
or just put the file itself into that folder in the phone. adb, root explorer, or any other root access file explorer.

Cool, I think this is in my wheelhouse.

Thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KC37:
Well I thought I had it but when I was checking my failed work I noticed that my" boot_audio.mp3" is now a " boot_audio.mp3.ogg". I used Ghost Commander to move the file.

Just to clarify it isn't or is the system/media from the ROMs zip itself?

Thanks again, this battle is now a personal challenge, lol. :mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] tocirahl:
Ok, this is what you do.

1. Find an mp3 file you like (MP3 file, not an Ogg Vorbis file)

2. Name it "boot_audio.mp3" (case-sensitive)

3. Copy it into /system/media/ on your actual phone (NOT in the ROM zip unless you want to have to reflash your zip)

4. Change the permissions of the file to rw-r--r--.

5. Go to Settings > ROM Control > General UI and make sure that "Disable Boot Audio" is UNCHECKED

6. Reboot.
