[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuisma:
Android by design kill tasks when the resources become sparse. For this to work, an app must be able to request to be restarted once this occurs - the app (or more correct, "service") is sticky. This is why when you close the facebook app, it's restarted within seconds anyway.

If you are running Android 4 (ICS) or later, you can tell the phone not to autostart apps at boot directly from the Settings menu. Enter settings -> apps -> all, select e.g. Facebook, then click the button "Disable". Now it's gone, and for real this time! The disable button is at the place on the "Uninstall" button, and uninstallable apps are not possible to disable this way - but you can always remove them.

Some apps are neither disable nor uninstallable, though.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTechnologies:
But if the autostart app is parental control r something like that, it wold be harder. Firstly the thing would not let you to settings. You could fool it when some settings notification appears, like there is wifi, by clicking on it you will get there without a problem, but you would not be able to delete it. To deal with it, I do personally recommend this: Root your device, get total commander for android (no, trust me, ES would not make it), open TC, get to mnt/asec where are stored installed apps files, find folder attached to that app, change the permisions that everybody could write in it, change ownership and group to some of your other apps and delete that folder. At the end, there shoul be emty folder with an emty folder in it. That should **** up the app so much that its not going to work anymore. Now you can do whatever you want.

If you have 20 seconds, please look in your settings and tell me if the Serial Number is displayed anywhere. I've been reverting my phone to stock GB from ICS shostock, and now I cant find my serial number via the settings app anywhere!

Most phones have it displayed in the settings app, but hopefully this one doesn't!

Most of you are probably on ICS, but if any of you are still on GB, let me know if you see your serial number in the setting app anywhere.

Thanks

The "secret" code for serial number is supposed to be *#0001#.

I'm on SHOstock2 ICS. My serial number shows up as unknown in about phone and the secret code does nothing.

Try the secret code on Gingerbread to see if it will work there. It may be that particular code doesn't work on AT&T variant phones?

My parents (also nigerian) found out about it and were amazing (even though i told them how outdated it was cuz it was running eclair). So now i want to make a tablet and/or smartphone that is better. How can i go about this?

And if this is possible, can i make the stock rom on it Cyanogenmod and sell it? I mean it's probably much more complicated than how i'm saying it.

Did some searching around and found that guy did not make his own tablet. He provided the specs he wanted/could afford to a Chinese manufacturer and placed a bulk order.

From what I can find out the specs on that tablet are outdated. The top top model has 800mhz single core ARM processor, 256 mb ram, android 2.2, and its overpriced at 45000-60000 NGN which is aprox $272 - $360 AUD or 279 - 372 US. At these prices you are better off buying a Nexus 7 at around $250 and be up to date for the next few months.

Ok, so I rooted my s3 with the root66 method and installed TWRP as my recovery. Later I tried the unofficial CM10 rom, but I had to install CWM to do so.

My question is this: are both recovery's still on my phone? It only boots into CWM. If they are, and I no longer TWRP, how do I go about removing it?

you can only have one custom recovery installed, the other will sit as a file on your sd card and do nothing.

you can only have one recovery at a time, so if you ever switch to a rom that needs a different recovery than the one you have, you need to push the correct recovery, in short, yes you can only have one at a time :)

Hi our deer community and my fellow Optimus 2X owners.

I just realized that I am in a quite a predicament. Long story short I ended up with this locked phone from god knows what country (spain I guess, so it's a whole other carrier) with CM 7.1 already there then I discover that there's no hidden menu which is essential for unlocking it and only the original Stock ROM 2.2 from LG is the solution.

So I am now under 2.3.7, 2945#*900# gives nothing.

Please can you suggest me what other options I have, can I downgrade to 2.2 and still have the Hidden Menu, and what about other software solutions of upcoming fixes. Or is it doomed?...

Thanks in advance.
[LG Optimus 2x] xdaCyborg:
I meant dear community, pardon me it's the autocompletion.

And the both the codes 2945#*990# and 1809#*990# and the shortcut method didn't work, so what are the risks with going back to 2.2?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tijuanacartel:
Hi guys and gals,

I've been investigating why I can't enable encryption on either of my phones running CM9. I'm getting this error in logcat when I go to enable:

E/Cryptfs ( 1454): Orig filesystem overlaps crypto footer region. Cannot encrypt in place.

What I've discovered is that the dmcrypt layer requires 16kb of space at the end of the /data partition to store its volume keys. In the case of my HOX, stock recovery is smart enough to reserve those last blocks. But from what I can tell, CWM when it formats /data (to perform a wipe) formats the entire partition.

By passing an option for number of blocks (n where n is the total number of blocks - (16/blocksize)) to mke2fs at wipe time it should reserve enough space for encryption.

Looking at the cwm recovery source, I found this code for formatting ext4 volumes such as /data:

if (strcmp(fs_type, "ext4") == 0) {
int length = 0;
if (strcmp(v->fs_type, "ext4") == 0) {
// Our desired filesystem matches the one in fstab, respect v->length
length = v->length;
}
reset_ext4fs_info();
int result = make_ext4fs(device, length);
if (result != 0) {
LOGE("format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on %s\n", device);
return -1;
}
return 0;
}

So there is already a provision for a length option. The v variable is an array built from this code:

Volume* volume_for_path(const char* path) {
int i;
for (i = 0; i < num_volumes; ++i) {
Volume* v = device_volumes+i;
int len = strlen(v->mount_point);
if (strncmp(path, v->mount_point, len) == 0 &&
(path[len] == '\0' || path[len] == '/')) {
return v;
}
}
return NULL;
}

device_volumes appears to be populated from fstab, and from what i can see length will always be 0 (??) which i assume tells mkfs to always format the entire volume.

Perhaps someone more familiar with CWM's code paths (I'm a little lost) could explain how to get CWM to format the volume reserving the last 16kb?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylix:
Close, but the actual code in question is the following in bootable/recovery/roots.c:

static int parse_options(char* options, Volume* volume) {
char* option;
while (option = strtok(options, ",")) {
options = NULL;

if (strncmp(option, "length=", 7) == 0) {
volume->length = strtoll(option+7, NULL, 10);
...

That's reading the options from /etc/recovery.fstab (using roots.c:load_volume_table()). So all you need to do is make sure your device's recovery.fstab specifies the correct length. This is easiest done using a negative offset length of 16384. So, for a One X, update device/htc/endeavoru/recovery.fstab to add "length=-16384" to the end of the line for /data. For an example, see https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_pyramid/blob/ics/recovery.fstab.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] consmast:
Just played a bit with CM10.2 on my SGS3. To be honest I don't get this issue with partition size. Could you please help me to understand the following: why do we need to resize the partition if the stock ROM does not do it, neither in runtime (when encrypting) nor in flashing new ROM? How does it work on the stock ROM in comparison to CM? What's different? I'm afraid to resize the partition before I understand why I must do it (I read about this 16kb, I fully understand it, but I don't get why it's not needed by the stock ROM).

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjupille:
Stickmount works fine as far as it goes. The catch is that I haven't found a way to *unmount* drives with it. When I press "unmount", it just pops up the box showing mounted drives. To make things worse, If I unplug the drive, the next time I plug it in, stickmount generates a new mount point (sda, sdb, sdc, etc).

USB Hub Controller from the market lets me mount and unmount drives, plus I can specify the mount point, but it wont automount.

Any ideas for either app?

Mine did this. Use your file explorer and navigate to your mount point. More than likely there is a file keeping it listed. I deleted the file (happened to be xbmc apk) and it unmounted fine.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnyankee:
I was have the same problem, but couldn't determine if there were any open files. I had been using an older 1 gig Lexar drive, first formatted to FAT32, then tried EXT4, then back to FAT32. In all cases, it would mount automatically, and I could browse, copy & open files on it. However, as above, unmounting only brought up the box telling me the existing mounts. After waiting several minutes, I removed the flash drive from the OTG cable, but never got an error message, though the sda1 directory was still there.

Getting nowhere with this, with the Lexar drive not connected, I deleted the usbStorage/sda1 directory (no error messages), then connected a different flash drive, a ~3 year old HP 8 gig model. Surprise - it works correctly. I tried it 4 times or so, and no problems.

Don't know what's going on there, but I'm leery now of putting the Lexar back on, considering all the problems I came across.

I'll try some different flash drives this evening.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrillMouster:
I had the same problem. I resolved it by making sure that my file explorer (ES File Explorer) and the Gallery app were closed. Just like Windows, a USB drive can't be unmounted safely if an application is still accessing that drive. In my case I used ES File Explorer to navigate to the contents of the USB drive, and I used the Gallery app to view photos I had stored on the drive. Therefore, I had to make sure that both of those apps were closed. Some apps have a true "exit" option, but not all do. I make a habit of either hitting the back button repeatedly, rather than the home button. Some apps have an exit option in their menus. You may need to go to the Apps Manager in the Android Settings and force close running apps that may have been accessing files from the USB drive. I took the extra precaution of force closing the cached apps (not running), that had been used to view the contents of the USB drive. After doing that, clicking on the stickmount item in the notification bar successfully unmounted the drive. When I plugged the drive back in, it retained the same mount point, and I was easily able to unmount.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samlingx:
+1 for this solution. I was running into the same issue intermittently, and discovered that by fully quitting ES File Explorer (Menu > More > Exit), the drive would unmount properly. I can't speak for the closing of other apps since I generally just use usb drives for copying things to and from my N7, but I'd imagine GrillMouster is right and that anything that is using files from the usb drive needs to be closed before it can be properly unmounted.

Edit: Also, I discovered that once the drive is properly unmounted, the various folders that are created (sda1, sdb1, etc.) are removed and the next time you mount a drive it will once again be on sda1. At least that's how it worked out for me.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frederick Davies:
Will no unmount even closing the apps

I have a Nexus 7 with Stickmount 1.5. It works fine except that it does not unmount the USB drive when I tap the unmount option (or even removing the drive altogether). I have tried closing the applications I used while the drive was mounted (ES File Explorer and MX Player), but it still will not unmount. I had to resort to rebooting the device for it to forget about the mount. Is there a background app I have forgotten to kill? Maybe Stickmount needs an "Unmount, damn it!" option to unmount the drives regardless of what apps have locks on files in the drive.

Thanks for your help.
