[HTC Sensation] sount:
Hi guys, been a regular here but this is my firs looking for help post, so bear with me.

Have just successfully followed this guide http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1661631 gaining S-OFF on my HTC Sensation. Then followed this guide (http://www.theandroidsoul.com/cwm-clockworkmod-recovery-6-0-htc-sensation-guide/) to install CWM onto the phone. Then proceeded with the latest CM9 nightly. All went successfully until I tried to put GAPPS on. Loading any version (17/3, 22/4 or 29/4) will caused a boot > reboot > recovery process. With just CM9 nightly flashed, it works fine. Will boot into CM9 without issue. Attempting to load Gapps will give me the problem described.

After many hours of hair pulling, I thought it might be the CWM version I had. So proceeded to ROM Manager, did a flash, which brought me back to CWM 5.0.2.0. This time, flashing any Gapps version gets a different result. No more semi-booting back into recovery, however, different version of Gapps gets me different installation outcome.

17/3 Gives me only Play Store, Gmail, that's it...no adapter or whatsoever

22/4 Does nothing

29/4 Loads Play Store only...that's it

My apologies if this has already been answered elsewhere, but I have been at this for 10hours now and it's killing me. :( Life was rather simple on a Galaxy i9000.

One final note, I have installed Juonopunut Bear HBOOT, so am LOCKED and S-OFF as we speak. Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Did you verified the md5sum of the gaaps you have downloaded? (they will be present just below the download link)

Once matched.. Wipe Dalvik + cache and flash the gaaps again

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] sount:
Yup. MD5 all checked out fine. In fact, have decided to go the extra mile to unlock the phone using UNLOCK_CODE.BIN. So now it's both UNLOCKED and S-OFF, tried flashing CM9 Nightly (20/7) and Gapps (29/4) again. Flash ok, CM9 loaded fine, but no Gapps loaded at all. Man this is just killing me. :(
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
Why did you do unlock on top of soff? That's just not right.. You could have flashed a eng-hboot.. Anyways that we can discuss later

Try this then

Extract the gaaps zip. File and

Install each apk.. Seperatley

You can do It via adb itself

adb install apkfile

Sent from my pyramid.. Through blazing fast sonic waves
[HTC Sensation] sount:
Unlocking was just to see if that will make any different really. Sheer desperation. :S. Keen to listen on what eng-hboot is.

Tried installing APK using the method you desribed but I'm getting this.

Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]
[HTC Sensation] ganeshp:
ahh they are not signed then ....you need to flash it via recovery itself ..try changing recovery and flash it again and see (some recoveries dont like some specific devices :D)
[HTC Sensation] sount:
ctionlyl moves,

It does look like CWM may not be that great on the Sensation at all. Seeing that switching between v6.0.0.8 to v5.0.2.0 see different results. I've given up on CM9 for now, using a different ROM that has Gapps built in. Will have to look at doing a different recoveries later on. Cheers for your help Ganesh.

FINAL EDIT : Just for anyone interested, I did end up moving from CWM to TWRP. All problems solved on first go. :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] jonx15:
Looking for a flashlight app I can toggle the brightness ... similar to the HTC flashlight app..

I've tried and looked at many in the market..all seem to have just on and off.

Thanks..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] 95talondsm:
Well there is a flashlight app built into the stock touchwiz rom called assistive light. Go to Widgets and it should be in there.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Rick_V:
He is looking for one that has "Different Levels" of brightness the Assistive Light is just on or off.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] yamaha_wins:
HTC had some nice stuff.. Flash Light etc..
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Serinety:
I have a modded htc flash light app I made for phones with larger screens. All I need to do is port it for the s3. I'll work on it.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] DroidGnome:
While it doesn't have brightness (Which I think only worked because of the dual LEDs on my OG evo) there is a great flashlight app in the market called "TeslaLED".

Not only is it a standard on/off flashlight, but it has several other modes:

Strobe Light with adjustable timing

Hold to Light option (Hold the screen to turn on light, let go to turn off)

Send Morse Code (with or without sound). Just type a message and the light will flash correctly.

Non-LED flashlight (uses screen itself to illuminate)

Police-mode (fun little red/blue flashing screen to mimic police lights).

and a few other modes...

It also integrates well with many other apps (WidgetLocker, Notification Toggle, etc..)

Again, it doesn't have a brightness setting, but it has EVERYTHING else you might need :)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Elite Precision:
Motorola Droid light also works in GS3
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] jonx15:
Thanks guys...like Rick_v said looking for one with different levels...

Just rooted your device? Want to make the most of it?

I have compiled a list of Apps & ROM's that make rooting your phone worth the hassle!

Make this thread informative for noob's! Give your suggestions! All questions related to this topic are welcomed but before posting any questions first read Post 3 which contains some FAQ's!

List:

Post 1 - Rom's

Post 2 - App's

Post 3 - FAQ's

ROM's

CyanogenMod

CyanogenMod is arguably one of the most installed Android ROM in the world, and for good reason. It offers a ton of great features, is available for more devices than most other ROMs of its type, and has the type of polish and support that makes it easy to fall in love with. There are builds of CyanogenMod for Android phones and tablets, and slowly but surely the developers behind CyanogenMod are rolling out Ice Cream Sandwich versions for devices whose manufacturers have given up on upgrading the device entirely. To boot, CyanogenMod includes features you won't find in stock Android, like support for OpenVPN, support for downloadable themes, more privacy tools, and more.

Supported Devices:

Google Nexus S

Google Nexus S 4G

HTC Desire S

HTC Evo 3D

Samsung Galaxy S

Samsung Galaxy S II

More...

Android Open Kang Project (AOKP)

The Android Open Kang Project (AOKP) is a relative newcomer compared to many of the other popular ROMs already available, but it's rapidly growing in popularity. It offers many of the features that CyanogenMod has, and at first blush you may mistake one for the other, but as soon as you start looking at the options and add-ons, you'll see the differences. AOKP has earned high marks for add-ons and tools that you can't get in CM, centralized control over ROM options, and overall more customization options than CM. At the same time, its development community is smaller and it may not have the same polish and device support that CyanogenMod has. Still, it's super-fast, it's stable, and definitely worth a look.

You can find a list of all supported devices here

MIUI

MIUI struck me with how beautiful the user interface was and how elegant it made Android look and feel. It's not the most feature-packed or hackable ROM, but it's definitely one of the most customizable and elegant, and it's seriously fast. MIUI started life as a modded version of Android localized in China, but fans of the mod have since localized it for dozens of languages and countries. It offers strong theme support, beautiful stock apps, customizable lockscreens, support for GApps, and complete root access. You're not going to get a wealth of niche features here, but you will get a device that's much easier and more fun to use once you install MIUI.

You can find a list of supported devices here

DarkyROM

DarkyROM is a more manufacturer-specific custom ROM. They support the latest and greatest Samsung Android devices (i.e. the Galaxy S and Galaxy S II) by taking the stock TouchWiz UI, removing some of the bloatware that comes with it and then adding their own features.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funksoulbrother:
On my Galaxy S3, when I ran the Facebook app for the first time and signed in, it popped up a screen asking if I wanted to sync contacts and I could choose to sync all contacts, just the contacts that were already on my phone, or no contacts at all.

I installed the Facebook app on my Nexus 7 and that screen doesn't appear. When I logged in for the first time, it just went to the regular status updates page.

If I go into Settings - Accounts, and click on my Facebook account, there's a check mark next to Contacts for them to be synced. Also, if I go into the People app's settings and go to "Contacts to display" my Facebook account is listed there and I have it set to display all contacts, but none of my Facebook contacts are listed.

Any idea how I can get this to work? Thanks.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikn0wagh0st:
Haxsync!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
You need an app like HaxSync or a custom rom that has Facebook sync baked into it.

Nexus devices don't have it stock apparently because of Google and Facebook dispute over the API or something its the same on Gnex and Nexus S
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funksoulbrother:
Thanks for the suggestion. I just tried HaxSync, but unfortunately it doesn't do what I want.

HaxSync pulls down Facebook info for the contacts that already exist on my phone, but that's all it does. What I want to do is add all of my Facebook contacts to the people app, even if they're not listed on my phone already.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Go into the HaxSync account in settings, click Preferences, Contact Settings, and uncheck "Existing Contacts Only" ..you may need to delete the account and re-add it to force it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ikn0wagh0st:
Exactly! ^

The only reason I use haxsync is for photos for contacts. It does its job flawlessly.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funksoulbrother:
Thanks! That works. :)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] 1sagain:
Hi all.

Im just wondering. People on international s3s get way more bat life right? People with qualcomm dual core chips and LTE will get terrible bat life even with the best ROM and kernel set up?

Just a question
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stphn227:
Hi all, looked for others having this same issue as me and couldn't find much.

I would have posted this in the actual thread for the ROM, but because I have less than 10 posts I can't (which I think is kind of ridiculous, but that's just me). Anyways, on to the problem...

Ever since 16.3 came out, the Kindle App FCs when trying to open a book. I posed this same issue on the Team Nocturnal website and someone suggested to fix permissions with titanium backup, reboot and try again. If that didn't work then clear App data, uninstall, reinstall and try again. Neither method had any effect. I went back to version 16.0 and the kindle app works like a charm. It's a shame though because I would like to have the current versions with their capabilities rather than having to be stuck on an older version. The kindle app is daily usage for me though, so I need that to be working.

I'm posting this here because it seems to be more active than the team nocturnal website btw. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cp320703:
I'm starting to feel like a broken record saying this in thread after thread, but are you doing full wipes or no data flashes, if you're doing no data that's your problem...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] fryingpan0613:
I went ahead and checked, and it wouldn't open books either on my clean install. The developers can't test every app.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DarkEye45:
I'm having the same issue on 16.6.1 Goodness. Kindle app just closes after it opens up.

I did a clean fresh install of 16.6.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] stphn227:
Still happening with 16.6.2 as well.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] boris03:
Hi guys,

I need your help.

Ian in Spain and bought an Sim from masmovil. The seller told me to change the new profile for that Sim.

It is the 1gb contract so apn is internetmas.

No pw no user. Ok that works.

But when switching on tethering my win7 PC is connecting as usual but no internet because some problems with the proxy cannot be identified. What is wrong here?

Help please

Boris
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dr.ketan:
Try this
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] boris03:
OK I tried but no success.

Log error says problem with wifidirect connection.

What's wrong with it?

The other phone does even not see the wlan from the note

When using the standard app I can connect but internet isn't working
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] dr.ketan:
Try using tether with other device than laptop, and check whether it works or not

It is possible some problem on laptop side, as many doesn't support adhok connection defalt.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kenshinryu:
My phone keeps locking up and freezing and then rebooting. Or sometimes it wont reboot and then I have to pull the battery out. Basically what happens is I'll be surfing facebook or even using google maps and what will happen is the phone will freeze/lock up and you'll see a line of distorted pixels and the phone becomes unresponsive after that. You can't push any buttons it wont respond to anything. It either then stays on that screen and then reboots itself after a moment or it just will stay lit up on the screen you were on or it will just go black and become unresponsive. You can plug it in it wont charge it wont turn on or anything. The only way to get it back on is pull the battery and start it up again.

Weird mentions: If I try to start it up right after it's had the lock/freeze it will do it again almost immediately. It will load and right as it gets to the home screen it locks up again. I usually have to wait a little bit and then I can start it and then I can use my phone. But if I try to do to much on it, like running google maps while using navigation (Like keeping the screen on all the time) the phone is gunna lock up and freeze. But if I push the power button while it's running that app it wont lock up and freeze.

Thoughts: I dunno if it has to do with the processor and if it works too much it locks up and freezes and causes the phone to crash or if it's a heat issue.

I have an HTC Amaze 4g Phone rooted, S-OFF running EnergyROM ICS 4.0.3

I have formatted it several times, re-installed the ROM and still getting the same freezes/lock ups. Any suggestions would be awesome! Also if I can help clarify anything or provide more information for you lemme know! Thanks so much for taking the time to read all this mess and help me out!
[HTC Amaze 4G] kered424:
Sounds like you did almost everything to eliminate the possibility of a software problem. If you're still under warranty, I'd say get a new one =)
[HTC Amaze 4G] Gurpe:
Have you tried to format the SD card? I've had the same issue and that's how I solved it.

Another option is to get a new battery

Enviado desde mi HTC Amaze 4G
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kenshinryu:
That's what I was thinking because when it does lock up and freeze like that the battery will lose 20% to 30% of power from that one freeze. I could be at 100% battery power and then that the phone glitches like that then I lose that much battery power? Yeah I'm gunna try and get a new one.
[HTC Amaze 4G] andy55:
have you tried any other roms? have you upgraded your kernel?
[HTC Amaze 4G] ahmedreaz17:
Try to go in steps and stop where it fixes the problem. It happened to my sensation when I really tried to mess up with system files. For me it got fixed on step 2

0.5) Make backup of storages on computer and take out external memory card

1-) Flash the stock ruu (use search in development thread) reboot

2-) format internal storage

3-) it might be hardware issue, depending on your warranty, you might get it fixed by HTC/t-mobile.

Try the methods 0-2 at-least
[HTC Amaze 4G] Kenshinryu:
I think it's the hardware. Because when I'm in recovery it freezes even in there. I even put in the new battery I bought and I'm still getting those random lock ups. I even took out the SD card for safe measure to make sure it wasn't that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] leaky0320:
I would back everything up, do a complete wipe, flash a stock RUU and then see if it happens. Or take the easy way out and call your carrier for a replacement. If you have T-Mobile, they're pretty awesome and quick about replacements.
[HTC Amaze 4G] PoXFreak:
Call T-Mobile for a replacement..

Its a memory parity error on either the GPU or CPU... yes it is heat related, hence an almost instant lock up on warm reboot.

Sent from my Jelly Bean infused SGH-I997 Infuse!
[HTC Amaze 4G] gamescan:
I just had to do a warranty return on a completely stock unit to T-Mobile for this very issue. Identical symptoms to OP. Phone seemed to behave normally if little was done to it, but streaming any sort of data could get it to hard lock pretty quick. I was assuming it was a bad memory chip somewhere.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Theskorax:
I had a similar issue. Different battery. No problems now.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] linkingdots:
Hey, I have a LT28i which i bought off Expansys and it came unlocked with 6.0.f.0.72 installed but when I connected it to my com the PC Companion told me there was and update but after multiple times I still cannot update my phone. I have read the threads and don't really understand the process of flashing and I do not want to lose all my data on my phone. Can anyone help or direct me to the correct thread please?

On a side note I cannot get my Ion to transfer the apps to my SD card as well as all my camera photos are still stored on the internal memory is there any setting i can make to get them to go straight to my SD card?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bach415:
You can flash it to .111. All you have to do is make sure that you uncheck the wipe data part of the flashtool. And for the SD card problem, I have no solution to it as I don't have a SD card for my ion atm.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] cjna:
Since the ion has internal storage, you have to look for the ext card to see your SD card. SD card on mine is actually the internal storage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] linkingdots:
Thanks a lot. Is it possible to rename the SD card from ext to SD and make the phone think it's the internal one? And if i flash it to .111 will i be able to recieve updated from SE or do i have to keep reflashing it when something new comes out?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Spectre51:
.111 is still an official firmware. You can still update without issues. Not sure on the renaming part. Give it a try and see what it does. If it doesn't work just rename it back.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] linkingdots:
Okay, i've read the flashing guide on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=928343 but i'm still lost. the program wont detect my Lt28i. can anyone advise please? =/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] killerskincanoe:
Does your PC pick it up? If not and the phone is just charging when connected you are probably not using the cable that came with the phone and it is probably a charge only cable. At least that's the problem I ran into at first lol
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Bach415:
For Xperia Ion, you have to hold the Up Volume button as you connect it with the usb. The back button is for the older models. Remember, keep your phone charged before you flash.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] linkingdots:
The problem is that I cant even get flashtool to detect my phone to flash. Even with pressing the button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] idiotzach15:
You might need drivers... Go to the drivers downloader in the flash tool folder and click on it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] WolR:
Just try it again and again until it's done. Sony's server is very bad so you can't just update successfully with only one try. I had to try it a whole day to get it updated to 111. When you see the download bar run full, your device will get updated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] calvin35:
Does anyone know how to get a working copy of YouTube for CM10? After flashing CM 10 It won't show JP in the market. Oddly enough it is in my app drawer, however it freezes a lot.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jgalan14:
I think we have to wait till cm10 is more stable, I just kept it like that, I like the rom a lot

That's what I thought but I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything. Thanks.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeadBra1ns:
Ok. So i have completely screwed up my phone. I have rooted my phone and installed a few different ROMs on it. I have clockwork recovery installed on my phone and I was using it to clear my data to install a new ROM. I cleared my /system and then did a "reset data/factory reset" and I believe the factory reset is what messed everything up. Now when I boot up my phone it shows "Google" and has a little progress bar that gets to 100% and does nothing after that. My phone will show up on my computer as an ADB device but nothing more. When I boot into my bootloader, it freezes up completely. The volume keys and power button don't do anything.

I have clockwork mod installed but I can not get into it. My last ROM installed was Slim ICS from slimroms[DOT]com (I can't post links yet :() I'm not sure if that is needed but I thought I might throw that in.

Any help would be much appreciated. I am without a phone right now because of my toying around with it.

EDIT: I have solved my issue. I just came back to tell what I did in case someone else hits this problem. Every time I took the battery out and put it back in, my phone would instantly turn on. After about a million times of taking my battery and putting it back in, I noticed that every so often it wouldn't boot up (either because I put the battery in weird and readjusted it or left the battery out for a long time). Whenever my phone would not boot up on its own and I booted into the bootloader, everything would work great. Once I realized this, I left my battery out for about half an hour, put it back in, and everything worked out great. I installed a new ROM and my phone is back to the way it was.
