[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nogloww:
I'm trying to follow instructions to root Samsung devices from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=28178105

Every time I go to install the first recovery .zip I get an error about an unsigned package and a failure to recognize the whole package. I've tried several different downloads of the recovery and Su installer .zip files, thinking I may have just gotten a bad file but I can't seem to find one that works. Do you happen to know where I can get a reliable .zip of the recovery and Su installer for the At&t Galaxy Note?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZeldaLova:
This question goes for about every non-Playstation certified device. I was wondering if it would be possible to get the Playstation Suite on the Kindle Fire. It would just be cool if someone could get the PS Suite working on this since Sony DEFINITELY won't be teaming up with Amazon. We have so many Rom's that masquerade as other devices so I thought maybe we could have the PS Suite on this. Any answer would be nice! If not I still have a PS Vita so i'll live. :laugh:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kole_Ackerson:
+1 that would be awesome to have on our kindles
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZeldaLova:
It's a service from Sony where they distribute certain PS1 and PSP classics ported to work on Android devices. Also we could use cloud storage or maybe an OTG cable + flash drive.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZeldaLova:
You can have your favorite games on your device so you can play them anywhere and your less favorite games on some sort of cloud storage service. ;)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheZeldaLova:
Not PS2. That is not even at all possible at the moment. But there are PS1 emulators though.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Shamushand:
I've tried several ports of "Asus Day Scene" and "My Water" on my Nexus 7, and they either won't install or don't work properly. The "Day Scene" usually ends up just showing a white background, and "My Water" lags while showing a floating black square, eventually crashing. Anyone here have any better luck with these?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] theusername:
Can you post the apks to look at?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Shamushand:
Progress! Using the "Day Scene" apk from this thread, I was able to install, set it as a wallpaper (white), then reboot to a working live wallpaper. Not sure how long it will work though, as the wallpaper changes during the day, and might go white during a change. Widget in link works too (somewhat), it resizes and displays the appropriate weather and location but does not save settings when changed.

As for the "My Water" wallpaper, I used the apk from here (not working).

Update: Changed the system time to force the Day Scene wallpaper to change... and it slowly faded to white. Disappointing, but the wallpaper still works when set to not change.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Shamushand:
After some more fiddling and googling, my guess is that the wallpapers have an issue with Jelly Bean. So perhaps our best guess is to wait until the Asus Transformer gets the JB update? Just wish I could get a working My Water wallpaper. :(
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] rifraf1:
I have used this version of the water LWP on both the stock ROM and the latest PA ROM and it works fine for both.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] _Ryan_:
This was a problem on my ICS Bionic as well. Tried a couple different versions of the Asus Day Scene with no luck. White screen after the first transition. I wonder if it would work better as a system app but unfortunately I haven't rooted yet to find out.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] bourne-nolonger:
I tried the Asus weather widget which works greats.

The Asus my water LWP doesn't work for me. It crashes almost instantaneously after applying.

Anyone has it working on stock JB with no root?

================================= Update

I think I fixed (maybe)

I went in and cleared all the data and cache and then reapplied the wallpaper and this time it didn't crash.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitsch:
Hello,

i just came back from a short holiday in Malaysia and had to realise that my GPS on my SGS2 is not working anymore.

Not even the icon in the task bar is showing so its not just the fix.

I found out that it is working if i put any other SIM card in it than a DTAC SIM and its also working if i delete the APNs for internet and MMS and reboot.

But then the GPS works but i cant connect to the internet of course. as soo as i enter the APNs (either by hand or automaticly) the GPS stops working again...

Before i went to Malaysia everything worked fine...

Just relised it is working with the APNs but not if there is a DAta Connection.... Clicked the home Buuton so that the screen switched on and i could see the GPS Icon but as soon as i entered my screenlock pin and the Data Connection was activated, the GPS went OFF...

Any clues???!!! I am really desperate here...

Can anyone help me please!!!???

Hi All!

I love TouchWizUX & Weather widget from S3. When upgrade to the base rom 4.0.4 and CM10 TouchWizUX is incompatible. Whether there is any mod is compatible for both ROM yet? tks so much

Srr for my english!
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] VDubG:

Will be appreciate if someone could make nature ux compatible with gingerbread too for users that has still not updated to ics/jb :)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] i360*:
The ported TouchwizUX works with 4.0.4.

You can try the .apk attached on 4.1.1. Test it out and see if it works.
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] i360*:
Try the .apk attached. You need a root browser to push this apk.

Backup everything first.

Highly doubt that'll ever happen, why not upgrade to ICS? ;)

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
I know there are plenty of photographers or just people in general that found the perfect combination of settings in the camera app. I'm talking about the settings like exposure, contrast, saturation, sharpness and ISO. Any recommendations, and just post the ones that you've found work the best!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] SoraX64:
I'm no professional, but I know that your settings are going to vary based on the setting. There won't be a "one-setting-fits-all" setup that you can plug in and get a perfect picture every time. You'll have to experiment.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Cuppeerr:
Yeah that's true, I was just hoping people would post multiple setups and maybe pictures to compliment the setups:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] greyopaque:
Sharpness, Contrast, and Saturation should be done post processing, and sparingly. Exposure and ISO depend on your light and speed requirements. These should vary with each shot (just like Auto tries to do). Higher ISO's can prevent blur (better for fast moving objects), but are noisier. Typically go for the lowest ISO you can, and hold the camera as steady as possible. If backlighting is hosing up your shots, you can manually adjust exposure to compensate.

Edit.... that being said, I typically take Sat down a notch when shooting people to avoid that red hue these phones get on skin tones. Even though the red doesn't come out as harsh on a computer, it just looks better when viewing on the phone. Nature shots look awesome though with the normal setting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] firmbiz94:
I knock saturation down one notch and it seems to make skin tones etc more natural and remove the red tone I was getting with indoor photos
[General Questions and Answers] wkai2000:
Is there a way for all music in Play Music to be automatically selected for offline listening?

What I want is a way to copy music files to my SD card automatically without plugging it into my computer. In my perfect world, when I get one new song (on my computer), I want it to just put it in the My Music folder (on my computer) and have it sync to a Music folder on my devices Ext SD card the next time my device has a data connection. After that, Play Music (or whatever media player I'm using) would just see it as a new file and import it into my Library. If I have to open an app or push a "sync" button that's fine, but I would prefer it be automatic.

Something like Google Drive would work great if I could just assign folders to sync rather than having a "Google Drive" folder and only syncing what is in there. And "cloud storage" is not completely necessary, just store it in the cloud long enough to sync to my other devices.

Google music already automatically imports music from My Music (on my PC), it would be perfect if it automatically made all that music available offline on my phone and tablet.

Is there any app or solution that would help me?

I am often in areas where there is no data connection, so the internet streaming that Play Music offers is not quite enough for me.

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] saint168:
I was vacationing in Hawaii last week. My Vivid's battery life went to hell while I was there. I would turn it on at 9 in the morning and was down to 50% by 1 PM, then the phone would die before dinner time. However, once I got back to California, it went right back to ending the day with 40% battery left like before. There was no LTE coverage in Hawaii or where I live. The only different that I see is the Hawaiian heat. BTW, while I was in Hawaii, my phone will heat up for no reason even while it was in my pants pocket.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] creusset:
People normally do say that the temperature of the battery does affect it.

Yes indeed. When I used to steam pandora over lte and my phone would overheat and shut down, when I turned it back on it drained like 5% every minute till it cooled down

[General Questions and Answers] evandunkel:
Today I have unlocked my Nexus S's bootloader using "fastboot oem unlock". After unlocking, all data was wiped from the phone, however, I was not aware that the sdcard would be wiped along with the system data. Assuming my files were saved, I rebooted my phone to realize that, in fact, the sdcard had been formatted. I am here to ask if there is any chance of recovering the lost partition even though android system wrote files to the sdcard after format. (The folders created by android are .android_secure and LOST.DIR)

I would appreciate any assistance. Thanks in advance.
[General Questions and Answers] evandunkel:
Thank you for the suggestion but the software did not work for me. The first time I scanned, it said that there were (around) 300,000 ignored files. The second time (after tweaking tolerance settings) it came up with 0 files and 0 ignored files. Has anyone ever made the same mistake? Any other ideas?
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
You are out of luck my friend. When you unlock the bootloader on the Nexus S, it not only wipes the /system partition, but the /data, /cache and /sdcard partitions as well.

I found this out myself the hard way last night, installing the Jellybean update. Thankfully, the Nexus is my backup device so didn't contain too much valuable stuff.

Sorry you had to find out this way! :(
[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
​

The other thread was removed for various reasons (the thread was not by myself but another Senior Member). But here goes again, here are some ground guidelines I'd like to mention so no one ruins their devices.

Do NOT flash anything in AP Fastboot to try to root. On our locked bootloader devices, it just means having to re-flash FXZ files (which we don't have, or root to make our own copies), and a bunch of other messes. This includes custom recovery images (recovery.img), kernels (boot.img), system (system.img), or whatever crazy schemes that were made up before. The help was a good gesture, but I want to make sure no one can be bricked in the process.

Do NOT try Odin... that's for Samsung devices.

On the stock firmware that comes with the Atrix HD on launch, the kernel is patched from all exploits involving ~/data/local/ that we know of so far... This covers almost all known ICS root exploits out there, including RazrsEdge by Dan Rosenberg.

Here is my thread so far from droidrzr.com that I am now bringing over here for a better, saner, discussion with more invidivuals (obviously not many Atrix HD owners on a Droid Razr website).

Good luck! The second post will be reserved for saying what has/has not worked from what has been learned in this thread.

[Motorola Atrix HD] mattlgroff:
Got a root tool from the http://bbs.gfan.com forums for the XT928, they were having issues with other root exploits and needed a new one. From the looks of the code I modified into english and into one folder from Iopda's root tool, this is just going to be another bust. Worth a shot anyway, no risk to ones phones.

Same settings as normal, USB Debugging Enabled + MTP Mode for USB.

I will be testing 'round the clock when I receive my Atrix HD in the mail in a few days (August 3rd or 4th).

Keeps failing to open. Windows doesnt recognize the file. Linux has no MTP support that I've been able to find, so I can't open the root folder there. And trying to open it in the text reader from the phone directly fails as well and it won't let me copy it to the sd card, I imagine because of it's permissions which will not change.. What else can I try?

My only other thought would be to "adb pull init.rc C:\Pull" like you would a system pull, even then not really sure.

When you do a command do not just do "adb" do the whole line as shown in code.
