[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmntone:
Hey guys/gals, I have an Evo 4g with the digitizer and screen removed. I recently RUU'd it to 4.67.651.3 and have unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev. I have fastboot access, and only have adb access via a custom recovery. I don't actually have a custom recovery installed, Note that I am just booting one with "fastboot boot custom_recovery.img".

I am aware that a flag is set in "/data/data/com.android.settings/shared_prefs/com.android.settings_preferences.xml" when the box is checked (Debugging) in the gui. And I have been able to mount the data partition in recovery and push that file to the phone (with "<boolean name="enable_adb" value="true" />" set). I then set the ownership and permissions based on what they are in the android emulator, but when I boot the phone I don't get adb access.

I also have a userdata.img backup for when it was on 3.70.651.1 with adb enabled. However it is a backup made inside android via "mkyaffs2image -f /data /sdcard/userdata.img" and is not flashable via fastboot or flash_image. I'm not even sure it will work if I did manage to flash it back.

So my question is, how would I go about enabling adb in the actual rom? Or how could I flash the userdata.img backup I have?

EDIT: As an alternative, could someone provide an absolutely stock (with adb enabled) 4.67.651.3 userdata.img that I can flash to my phone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmntone:
I found a solution.

I flashed a custom boot.img that has adb enabled by default. The persist.service.adb.enable flag in default.prop needs to be changed from "persist.service.adb.enable=0" to "persist.service.adb.enable=1". Adb will remain enabled even after completely wiping the data partition.

It was a good thing that the bootloader was unlockable without a functioning screen, otherwise this wouldn't be possible.

It's just too bad there isn't much I can do with the phone in its current condition.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yangkx:
Hi I have the same problem but have not been successful in enabling the debugging mode. Any chance you can share the custom.boot.img you used to enable adb?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lmntone:
Sure. You must be HTCDev unlocked though. Then you can "fastboot flash" or "fastboot boot" the boot image.

Also, just saying...I shall not be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper use of fastboot and/or the provided boot image.

[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ningen90:
So here's my problem guys (bear with me here ! , it takes a lil explanation ) :

i've had my arc for almost a year now, i'm using link2sd with a 2nd partition on my sdcard for linking my apps to help free up some internal memory , i also use CWM "back and restore" frequently and this is how i do it :

as a full nandroid backup would take nearly 1Gb of storage , i instead backup only the system and data files(less than 400Mb), manually calculate the md5sum for it, and then resore it when i need , and it has worked for me till recently , now when i restore the backup, i only get the system settings and the apps on my internal storage, no sdcard apps and no linked apps (previously it restored everything properly) , so my question is :

is it a Rom or kernel related issue ??. is there a way to fix it ?? or do i have to do a full backup from now on ??

btw i'm currently using JJ'Hybrid and arknight kernel 3.3 RC.

i know it's a long one guys , so thanx in advance :D .
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinkster:
You'll need to backup data from sd or sd-ext, which would need a full nandroid backup. I found the best compromise to save space is to backup, rename the backup to id it(eg aokp4),copy it to my pc, and only keep the newest one on my sd card.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ningen90:
yeah i know, but that doesn't answer my question , why was it working before and now it's not , thanx anyway :D
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkoolj8282:
Okay, so I've always used and loved my Viewsonic Gtablet and have heavily modded it with roms, cwm, etc. So I'm not afraid to hack the device.

My only concern relies in the form of the dual boot and restoring the tablet

I know this is a method to restore it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1426244

But about the dual boot thing. I don't really like the Idea of dual booting it, so I want to know if it's required. If the above thread actually works, there shouldn't worries about bricking it.

Is dual booting the only way to put android on it?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ve6ay:
Yes, that is the only way. WebOS is still required for certain functionality - such as the brick-prevention of the thread you linked to. It only takes up approximately 1GB of your tablet, so it isn't a huge deal, unless you constantly run out of room, in which case I'd suggest you look into the OTG information and use some external USB drives for it (something I haven't tried yet)
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjkoolj8282:
thanks :D

thanks! so does that mean that the way the dual boot works is that it just runs the files of android? because I guess my only worry is that dual booting will make it slower than just having webos will. like what I'm saying is that does dual booting take up more ram or whatever?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Its not emulation of android within webOS if that is what you mean. You are only running one OS, you get a menu at power up, with a delayed default choice. Android sees and uses the full amount of RAM, like 890MB once you're booted. It runs smooth and fast.

I don't power cycle my device very often, maybe once a month. So I only notice the webOS option for about 1 second a month. webOS is more of a recovery / back up OS once you get android on it. No real reason to boot into it normally, and definitely no hindrance having it on there.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joebarkho:
Would it drain more if I'm at full bars roaming for low bars sprint?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Rxpert:
If your roaming the phone is going to be looking for a sprint signal.

If your bars are low its going to be looking for a better signal.

It's lose-lose
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] joebarkho:
what it you force the phone to be "roam only" will it still search for sprint?

[Asus Transformer TF700] klm1159:
Hello, I just got this update. What was fixed?
[Asus Transformer TF700] davelu:
According to Gary. New SD card code, performance enhancements. Are you using the WW or US version?
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
No idea but I did check and yes. there is firmware update (US version).
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Got it over OTA for (manually flashed and rooted) WW too.

BTW, are there any restrictions on US?
[Asus Transformer TF700] tha_kreature:
Hurray! Updating now!

I have a UHS card I want to test with new version. Heres hoping...
[Asus Transformer TF700] klm1159:
US Version here.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
Is there a change log anywhere?
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Not yet, I believe, but it said it's updating the firmware of camera and touchscreen too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] user311:
Installed the firmware, the camera firmware is indeed updating too. Very slowly :(
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Seems they have added cfq and deadline! At least non-rooted users can try this out now.

RootKeeper did its job, happily ;)

Edit: Getting 80s in RL Benchmark on sio, which is a mediocre improvement, but 1000 INSERTs took only 27s (as compared to 60 earlier), so they really started working on this thing!!!
[Asus Transformer TF700] HoushaSen:
Not sure if improved or just margin of error,

but RL benchmark I got 102 on Andropolice it was 119, so not so much.

Second run after cold boot (not sure if mattered), I got slightly faster # of 94. Note these were on balanced mode.

On Performance/Normal mode, I got 81. I do not know which mode Andropolice used, but if they used Performance Mode as well then it is indeed some improvement i.e. ASUS is indeed working on this issue actively.

View attachment 1226415

For Sunspider with Chrome, I previously got 1300's, but now 1400's-1500's so slower or within the margin of error.
[Asus Transformer TF700] xRevilatioNx:
What does cfq and deadline mean for us non rooted users?

Hopefully they cured the clicking sound in the camera. I also wonder why they updated the touch screen....
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
On sio I'm getting worse average speed on microSD (internal seems similar in speed), but less hiccups and definitely better SQLite results, also in AnTuTu.

Typing seems smoother too.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Sorry, you probably can't change it anyway, but I believe cfq is default now, so you start with a different scheduler.

Why not root btw ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Hey, how about this!!!

cfq, performance mode, performance governor
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
And this is on balanced, interactive governor, cfq = the default setting rox now, guys! Rooted or not. Thanks, Gary!

Edit: even noop gives me 65 now, deadline 62, cfq 61 in another run on balanced, seems they knew what they were doing here.

[HTC Inspire 4G] XBlackChaosX:
So i was looking through 4Ext touch's recovery menu and i saw an option in tools to check for sd card partition alignment so i did and according to that the sd card partitions were not properly aligned (whatever that means) so i backed up the data on my sd card and went to repartition it and now it's asking me to choose a partition size for the 1st and 2nd partition plus the swap. I have no idea what to put, i have a 32gb class 10 sd card. Can someone please explain to me what does this whole sd card partition alignment means and what should i choose?
[HTC Inspire 4G] ai6908:
We dont need to partition SD card for inspire. It is for devices will less ROM space, where you partition SD card and use it as phone storage. So just delete all partitions, and just have one.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wazhack.WazHack

Okay so the game is not free but you can try it for the first 300meters (the objetive is to go DOWN.

It is NOT Xperia play optimized , but since it runs on Unity , the dpad works for movement. Nothing else works. We might get this optimized if we push hard enough , i guess.

And last , the game looks very promising but unfortunately , it runs awful. At least on my phone im getting constant "ram lags" , FPS is stable at 25-40 but the constant pauses make it very annoying.

The game doesnt need any quick reactions (since enemies only move when you move) but it is definitely annoying , im going to wait for a patch , if it ever comes.

You can try the game on your PC here http://www.wazhack.com/play

Sure it runs fine on my phone annoying lag. Google says it's a R800i (its not)
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] bangawasawa:
I am sorry to derail this thread a bit, but I am quite in a shock. Since I've bought my latest Xperia Play I am observing a worrying trend, many new games seem to be incompatible with my device. At least that's what Google Play Store says.

WazHack, Mutant Roadkill by Glu, and the latest Glu game Gears & Guts. I have a new R800i, unrooted. What's going on? Are these games really THAT advanced that my Xperia Play cannot handle them? Or is this a regional thing (some games working only for the US market)? Would appreciate any advice, thanks.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
There are many versions of the xperia play, the developers need to enable them individually.

My R800i however can download it from the store just fine, unless they took it out.

Edit :yup they took it out, just side load the app, even stronger hardware sometimes gets forgotten among aaaall the android devices
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] WazWaz:
Possible Explanations

I can at least explain why I took Xperia support off WazHack. Shortly after release I got an angry 1-star rating from an Xperia user saying how terrible it was on their device. As an Indie developer (like most app developers), I don't have a huge suite of test devices. So my assumption was that it was somehow not compatible with the Xperia Play. By default, Google Play makes an app compatible with any device that meets the version requirement (and screen, and a few others). Devices that would otherwise be compatible can then be specifically excluded. I did that as soon as I saw the review.

After a few days, I managed to talk to a player on the WazHack IRC channel who had an Xperia, and I sent him the APK directly. He said it wasn't perfect but well and truly playable. (by this time I had also added many performance improvements too).

Two things he did point out though, and these may well be the specific answer to your question:

Xperia players are more likely to be demanding of games - its a key purpose for there device

The controller-based interaction gives a different feel than than touch-to-move: the player can feel a lag or jerk much more.directly

So I hope that helps expain somewhat.

Just remember that app developers probably don't have your device, and the more "special" it is, the harder it is to support, but that you can help by talking with the devs.

Anyway, it's a commercial game, which as I understand is verboten here, so I'll slink back into the shadows from whence I came.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
It's true, xp owners are very demanding.
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] drivenby:
I don't know why, but at least on my device, mutant roadkill runs flawlessly. Like zero lag, smooth frame rate.

Why not officially support it?

[Captivate Android Development] scythekain:
So decided to give this a try as my first JB experience;

1) reboot to recovery

2) Wipe data/cache/dalvik/system

3) Flash PA-1.92A.zip

4) Flash GAPPS-JB-0726.zip

5) reboot.

6) Phone gets to optimization screen, finishes optimizing, displays starting apps, then reboots to animation. It's stuck doing this.

7) Reboot to recovery manually.

8) wipe data/cache/dalvik/system

9) re-flash

10) Same thing.

11) reboot to recovery

12) Wipe

13) flash CM9-RC2, it flashes and reboots on it's own.

14) It boots up with no problems.

15) Reboot to recovery

16) Install GAPPS-ICS

17) reboot

18) normal boot with normal optimization.

I've googled the problem and the only suggestion I can find is to re-wipe. I've tried that (more than I've listed here, spent about an hour trying to get this flash to work)

Is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks,

Kain.

Did you try format system? That's what finally got it for me.
