My laptop (Windows 7 x64) screen and keyboard are broken. I cannot see anything on the screen and my keystrokes don't register as well. Unfortunately, I am stuck with my laptop for a few weeks. Is there a way to make my TF300T (running ICS) as my laptop's keyboard? I am using the laptop HDMI output to the TV and can see the screen. It doesn't take my keystrokes anymore. Any guidance is much appreciated

Logitech USB keyboard: $15 at your local office supply store. It's always good to have a spare keyboard in the closet.

I use one with my Android tablet, and I don't understand why anyone would want to use an on-screen keyboard with any computer.

I hope you can get a replacement for your broken laptop soon, and that you get your valuable data off of it successfully!

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wertyo:
Hi folks, I've been doing a bit of scouting and haven't been able to find a solution as of yet so hoping somebody here can help me. I upgraded to ICS a couple of days ago from 2.3 and since then my battery has been going a bit odd.

My phone wouldn't come out of sleep and i kept having to do battery pulls to bring it back to life. I figured this was probably to do with my SetCPU setting being too low (200-500MHz for screen off) so i disabled the profiles and it still was happening. Have deleted SetCPU altogether and it has improved a tad bit. But now my phone does occasionally go into sleep mode and won't wake until i do a battery pull. But when i bring it back to life my battery is 15-30% lower than from before I did the pull.

I'm running 4.0.3

Sensation Rom 3.5

Siyah Kernal v3.3.2

PDA version XWLPG

Baseband DXLP9

I've attached two screenshots to show properly what I mean. Scrolling through ExTweaks shows me that siyah kernel itself also can change clock speed but there's too many options there for me to know safely what I'm doing. I've done battery recalibration twice with no luck so far.

Thanks in advance for any help!

flash stock rom and root and reflash sensation rom by doing a full wipe
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manmad:
do a full wipe, and reflash the rom.

Then see if you still have problems.

Then install your apps again, if you then ahve problems, you know your apps are causing it ;)

You can also install betterbatterystats (free on xda), that app will tell you which app is causing wakelocks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JL100:
First of all, I like to say Thank you to the author for this brilliant guide.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746794

I’ve always wanted to root my phone primarily to make backups and being able to freeze/uninstall bloatware that came with the stock rom is a treat. Anyway to cut to the chase I used method 1 as suggested and now I’m a proud owner of a rooted galaxy s2.

I have a few questions I’ve been searching all over the place on this forum and elsewhere on the internet I was wondering if someone can shed some light. I’m sorry if these questions or similar have already been posted in the forum.

Previously, I have tried a method where you need to flash an insure kernel, root with Samsung Quick Root (aka S2 root), and flash back to stock/secure kernel (optional). Now if I wanted to use ROM Manager to flash CWM recovery it simply wouldn’t do it, even if I try to run the package (update.zip) from stock recovery. Maybe it’s to do with the stock kernel? I really don’t know maybe someone can explain. So the problem is if I can’t boot into CWM recovery, I can’t really backup my phone until I come across this guide. As noted from this guide, so now I can boot the phone to stock recovery, from here apply update from external sdcard to obtain a temporary flash of CWM recovery. Great!

Q. Is this how you backup the entire phone with CWM recovery?

Q. Is root needed to run CWM recovery in order to backup phone?

I’m asking this because I have managed to create a backup before I rooted my phone using method 1. Unless of course the backup created will not restore the phone entirely or simply not work at all. Or the other thing I can suggest is root still exist from my previous attempt but I doubt it as I’ve since flashed back to stock rom via odin.

I noticed with this method CWM is not installed, you need to access it through stock recovery and apply package from external sdcard which is fine by me. If I wanted to install a custom ROM, e.g. MIUI, do I install it via CWM recovery? Sorry all this business with root is still very new to me.

Q. Can I download and use ROM Manager if I wanted to or not required?

Q. As the stock kernel is untouched, will I be able to boot straight into CWM recovery from ROM Manager, without having to go through the apply update from sdcard?

Q. Using Titanium backup, why does SuperSU not on the list?

Thank you
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
Firstly, you should have used CF-Root as it is just a modified version of your stock kernel to grant to you Root and CWM.

Yes, root is required for CWM to work.

Yes, CWM is used to fully back up your phone.

Don't use ROM Manager with CWM or you'll have a bad day.

No idea why SuperSU isn't appearing. Does it matter?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brandon489:
I know you said earlier you wanted minimal involvement with rooting, but I strongly suggest popping a rom on your phone. Try out cm9 and if you don't like it you can always flash back.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alc027:
Just think about this: why would you need root in your current ROM to run clockwork mod RECOVERY?

Whatever recovery you are using (3e, Clockwork, Amon-Ra, RAZR, it doesn't matter) will work completely whether you have root or not.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JL100:
Thanks for your reply. There are many ways to root. I guess each method will have its advantage(s) and disadvantage(s). Please could you explain why CF-Root is better? And if I want to use CF-Root now, can I still Un-root (method 1) and root again with CF-Root?

What happens if I want to un-root and return to my stock kernel? Can I do that after applying CF-Root? And lastly, would it be all right to run your phone long term with an insecure kernel? BTW, what exactly is an insecure kernel?

Oh, if root is required for CWM to work, why was I able to create a backup without root in the first place? Just curious!

I will most probably try out various custom roms out there just taking things a step at a time.:)

Thank you again
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alc027:
CF-Root is better because it is ridiculously easy. Flash kernel via Odin. Done.

To unroot you flash an official firmware image also via Odin and it will erase all non-standard content from your phone.

To confirm: whatever recovery you are using is not interested in whether you have root permissions in your rom. Its functions do not encounter them at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JL100:
Thank you alc027 for your reply. I guess the one thing with CF-Root is you’re stuck with an insecure kernel. Flashing an official image will revert to stock but root will be lost and you’ll have to reinstall everything from scratch even if you have Titanium Backup its purpose is defeated. Unless of course like you said CWM doesn’t require root to run and a backup was created with all my apps installed I could restore it to point of the backup just like an image backup for your PC. Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alc027:
I don't know whether that's true. I think the insecure kernel is only insecure in that it will allow injection of the su binary via super one click. Whether CF-Root is insecure or not really doesn't matter to anything. For that matter why are you concerned about being left on the insecure kernel?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JL100:
Actually I’m not really concerned, I guess I’m just curious and want to know the main difference between secure and insecure kernels. I suppose you’re right it doesn’t really matter if it’s left on the insecure kernel. I mean unless I’m selling the phone in which case I’ll probably have to flash to stock rom anyway.

With regards to nandroid backup, I’ve read from this guide that it’s important to backup the EFS folder.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1592104

Well is this particular folder backed up when using CWM to backup phone? Incidentally, does CWM backup EVERYTHING other than the external SD card?

Thanks again in advance
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil3759:
Insecure kernel allows adb access from usb, that's it.

If you do not use cwm manager, bundled with cf root, then you do not need cf root to root. Better stick to the method with cwm: no yellow triangle and no counter increase, busybox is installed and kernel untouched. These are advantages over cf root for who needs them

That way, every one is satisfied
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JL100:
Thanks for the info Phil3759. I haven't properly tried ROM Manager. Is it a good idea to use rom manager or in this case cwm manager that comes with cf-root to flash different roms? If I'm not mistaken flashing to other roms can be achieved via cwm recovery is this correct?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phil3759:
Better go with cf root cwm manager in that case. Rom manager is often buggy

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
I'm not crazy about the default JB virtual keyboard. I'm used to the Swype keyboard on my Samsung GG phone. However, I can imagine that the default might work better in some contexts and don't really want to replace it. Is there a way to add Swype and possibly others and use a setting to select which one to use?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Using your N7, Login to your beta swype account and download the Swype for the N7.. works pretty good.

http://beta.swype.com
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmandel:
But if I install Swype can I use some setting to choose whether to use it or the default?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
When you have multiple keyboards, you will see a small keyboard in the notification area when you are using a keyboard. That will allow you to select which of the multiple keyboards you have loaded to switch to.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Outrager:
Also you can drag down the notification bar whenever a keyboard is up and choose Choose input method to choose between Swype, the default, and whatever other keyboards you've install. You can also choose to hide keyboards from the list in that settings menu.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jediknight36:
I tried to deodexing using the OneClickOdexer, and it wouldnt do it. It asked me to reboot, so I did, thinking I would backup and install a custom rom. When it reboots, it stops at the 'htc quietly brillian" screen. When I try to access TWRP via hboot, it wants to run a zip as an update, but wont let me just go past it. I can run the update, then it wants to reboot. Or I dont update and it wants to reboot. No option to get to recovery.

Im running a rooted stock rom, s-off via lazy panda.

How do I get to recovery?

Hey guys I was browsing around for a nice case at a reasonable price for my Nexus 7 and I came across this one:

and

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Navy-PU-Lea...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2c66e92d25

They are both from the same vendor I believe but one thing that worries me that in the first picture it seems to cover the navigation bar. Also I seem to like the second style because its unique Id really appreciate your input thanks :D

EDIT: Bought the first leather one will post review once I get
[Nexus 7 Accessories] benlc:
This is e-bay/amazon, they all sell the same crap.

My advice : go for it.

It's cheap, it's pretty bad, but at the end you get an extra cable, a descent stylus and a cheap case that you can replace when there actually will be good cases on sale. It will keep your tablet safe for the next few weeks/months.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] SunSDK:
thanks bought it :) will post a review once it comes. Bought the leather one instead of navy blue
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Hexdecimal:
This, lol. Get a cheap one for the meantime until you decide if you want a really nice case. Some of them can be hefty investments, but if they last, then it's worth it! Case in point, I've had the same Incase shoulder bag for years without too much wear.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rasroygbiv:
This is the Q&A for Gubment Cheeze found here. More support can be found on our Palringo chat room, thefamilyroom

ALL I ASK

- Do not ask for support or complain that something doesn't work because YOU flash someone else's kernel.

- Do not ask for support or complain that something doesn't work because YOU restore apps and/or data and/or system settings from Titanium Backup or Mybackup etc.

- The kernel included is specific to this build and the only one supported.

- Do Not ask for ETA on the next release

- Do Not ask for Features

- Do Not ask for help if you didn't full wipe before coming from a different rom!

- Do Not Flame other users!

Mainly that it seems to cause confusion for people. The development chat doesn't occur here for this Rom.
