[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] kchen96:
Hi I was wondering if anyone else had this issue. The camera and gallery on CM9 are very peculiar... For one the camera app doesn't focus well and you can't tap to focus? And the gallery app is just broken. When you delete something, it comes back later. Lie if if you delete and go to check your files, it's still there. Which is brings me to my last point, what file management software is the easiest to use and navigate? I found the "My Files" from stock experience the best. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Dinman:
1. I've not had those issues with cm9.

2. root explorer has always been my favorite . I would highly recommend it.(very easy to use).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
With the camera, tap to focus has never worked as far as I know.

As for the gallery, many people have experienced that, excluding myself. So either one of them will cone along or keep searching through all the CM9 threads. You will definitely find an abundance of posts regarding that issue.

And for file management, there's also FX File Explorer, as well as Solid Explorer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Try Quickpic as a replacement for the Gallery, and working great with cm9 ;)

I use Just Pictures as a picture only gallery replacement.

You might want to go to manage apps. Find the gallery app and select clear data/cache. Can't remember which one it says.

You might have to setup the gallery again or wait for your pics to resync. This usually fixes weird issues. Also, fix permissions in your CWM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] AWiseMonkey:
QuickPic for the gallery replacement.

Root Explorer & ES File Explorer for file manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jburchm1:
I was having the exact same issue with CM9 RC2 and did a bunch of digging around in the source code to see if I could figure out what causes it. In my case, I was unable to delete images that were stored on an external SD card. Images stored on the internal SD card were deleted properly.

It turns out that when Gallery deletes images, the directory they are contained in must be in one of two environment variables that are set up at boot time: EXTERNAL_STORAGE and SECONDARY_STORAGE. CM9 RC2 sets EXTERNAL_STORAGE to /mnt/emmc and does not set SECONDARY_STORAGE. Since only /mnt/emmc is listed, files are only deleted from the internal SD card.

Modifying the environment variables is kind of a pain in the butt, since they're initialized in /init.emmc.rc, which is part of the ramdisk, which means you have to grab the boot.img, unpack it, change init.emmc.rc, then repack/flash it. In my case all I did was add an additional line that sets SECONDARY_STORAGE to /mnt/sdcard immediately after setting EXTERNAL_STORAGE. I've been running this way on my phone for about a week now without issues, deleting images from Gallery just fine.

I submitted a bug report and patch at the TeamChopsticks google code page (issue 105), but it hasn't gotten any attention yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Trinition:
I breifly searched, but couldn't find the TeamChopsticks Google Code page. If you post a link, I'd gladly support your Issue #105 because I'm experiencing it, too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jburchm1:
Sorry, I can't hotlink it because I'm a noob without enough posts. If you go to teamchopsticks.org, then click on Release Notes, there's a link in the first paragraph of the text on the page that will take you to their Google Code page. You should be able to find the issue from there. If you could hotlink it I would certainly appreciate it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] aycockonxion:
1) Highly recommend Root Explorer for general file management.

2) Check out the ported Sony Xperia album app for a pretty slick gallery. It's available for download and direct install in the themes & apps threads.

Hello,

I have rooted my A700 and cannot install the OTA update.

I tried at first to install the OTA update, but it said unsuccessful.

I downloaded Acer_A700_AV043.RV00RC00_AV043.RV22RC03_EMEA_DE.zip (Full ROM) from the thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1720157. Renamed it to update.zip and moved it to the external SD card. Installed it and then tried the OTA update, which failed again.

What should I do?

cheers.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Sterist:
dude really? wrong section plus you named the thread as if it's a guide and not a question.

Yeah well I noticed the missing questionmark after I submitted. And I cannot edit the title, as far as I can see.

And to the wrong section. you may be right and I should have posted it to Q&A.

@Moderator: would you be so kind?

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] twinkybot:
@Moscow Desire: Thanks!

So now, to continue the story. I updated my tablet with the following ROMs I found in Threads

Acer_A700_AV043.RV07RC06_AV043.RV23RC02_EMEA_DE_1342775542065_59889efc_decrypted.zip

But the Bootloader is still unlocked and I cannot update.

I wanted to install the Beta ROM but the link is down.

So what now?

I don't like the look of it - by which I mean doesn't seem all too sturdy.

If I ever do get a more powerful phone like the SIII (if my XPlay dies) then I might get one of these..
[Xperia Play General] Potato13:
Yeah but, you look like an idiot if you carry a ps3 controller around everywhere :P It's a good invention though.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
I sort of mocked it in my comment on the artricle, probably should not have. Guess we xperia play users are just spoiled. But I agree it would make you look like a idiot carrying around that and a PS3 controller. But I guess if that all you got its certainly better then touchscreen gaming... yuck
[Xperia Play General] typikal82:
this attachment is based on the idea that you can root your phone and your phone is compatible with a $2 app that GameKlip doesn't even own. That dependability on other things keeps this niche accessory where it is.

I'll stick with my own devices that provide OEM support for gamepad (Tablet S has native Dual Shock 3 support, no root needed)
[Xperia Play General] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
no, I bought this and S3. Life is awesome for me. Now I don't miss my Play. More Powerful than Play, and awesome gamepad. So, why should i keep my Play ? My friends asked me what is this Ps3 controller. I told them, I showed my S3. And they shocked.
[Xperia Play General] Miles Wolf:
Aha, aha, aha... Now try to place your S3 with this horrible attachment in your pocket.

Xperia Play wins.
[Xperia Play General] iRhyiku:
Portability - Xplay

Functionality - S3

If you had a bag or something all times this would be great..
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Yeah, if you always had a bag with you then its not a bad idea... but if not the Xperia PLAY is way more portable.
[Xperia Play General] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Guys, Don't forget Sixaxis App. In Sixaxis you can map "ALL OF THE ANDROID GAMES". I have both of. (Xplay, S3) My Ps3 controller always with me.I don't use my Play anymore. In the school my bag is always with me, In home I can play every place in my house. So why should I keep my Play ?
[Xperia Play General] BrianChase:
Maybe you should bash the Play and prop up the S3 in the S3 forums instead? Have fun with your stupid clip and purse to put it all in.
[Xperia Play General] aros2k:
I hope Sony realise all these accessories show they should release an Xperia Play 2 next year!

You carry an S3 and a DS3 everywhere? You must look like a total chump! Hahaha.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
And the rest of the world that doesn't carry a man-purse with them and goes places other than school/home that they may want to play games at, finds the need to carry a PS3 controller stupid. The PLAY is better

[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Why not use V6? I have used both V6 and RAM Manager, and in my opinion RAM Manager is a waste..... You can use either V6 or RAM manager, do not use both at the same time as it will cause issues. Just my two cents
[Xperia Play General] Justinchi:
Lol, don't let these guys bash you. If you like your S3 and PS3 controller then have fun. You can use the play for quick gaming on the go and the S3 for home gaming or just do whatever you want. You shouldn't be criticized cuz you did something different.
[Xperia Play General] ozzmanj1:
Agreed. I love my PLAY and don't plan on replacing it. But if you enjoy the S3 do just that.. enjoy it. It is an awesome phone. But I game way too much and much much prefer the hardware game controls to touch screen gaming.

With that in mind do what you want between the two. They are your phones and you know what's best for you. Either way you have two awesome phones. Just awesome in their own rights.
[Xperia Play General] Rogue Leader:
Runs mint on mine, when I first installed it it ran like crap but after rebooting it is great. It does still crash occasionally when pausing which is annoying. My phone is only rooted with some bloatware removed, thats it.

Not bashing him, just pointing out that an S3 and a PS3 controller are not portable like a phone with a built in controller. Nor is it a replacement for the Play. Like it or not the Xperia PLAY is still bay far the best portable gaming solution.
[Xperia Play General] Themindbuddah:
Thing is with first adopters like my self and many others who's 2 year contracts are starting to come to an end next April! The Samsung S3 (or the updated Galaxy Note) and Game-clip at the moment seems like the best option for a possible gaming upgrade!

Don’t get me wrong, love my Xplay! (Will be keeping it after I upgrade!) but come on, it is starting to seriously so its age! Android Gaming is becoming like PC Gaming. Where the big developers are chasing the power of the CPU & GPU instead of trying to optimise the code to run more smoothly on older handsets. The only reason we are still gaming, are the developers on the likes of XDA who are squeezing every little bit power out of our beloved Plays!
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
I'll happily stick with my iControlPad, but this is quite affordable, no problem if its used at home or indoor. But I like the iControlPad having three different modes, SIP, iCade and HID.

I'm getting rid of my S3 to go back to the Nexus and use the left over money to rebuy the Play and use it as home console. I regret selling my Nexus and Play. However, the S3 does have quadcore GPU that play FPSE at 300-500+ fps and 1000+ for 2D only games, neither the Play, Nexus nor my PC managed that.
[Xperia Play General] -S.E.R.K.4.N-:
Also S3's battery life isnt good without buying extended battery. I have 3600mah Mugen Power for xplay. I just need to find awesome rom to play games.

[Xperia Play General] mulllen666:
1000fps?

Shurely shome mishtake?
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
Yes, with 2d PSX games running in FPSE with hardware acceleration and fps limiter turned off. It uses the new Mali-400 MP4 quadcore cpu, so all the latest 3D games run smoother than the Galaxy Nexus. However, in term of video decoding, the Nexus has a dedicated DSP that handle videos just as smooth as the S3, this is one of the main factor why I'm still content with the Nexus, along with getting all the latest Google updates and roms that the S3 doesn't. The S3 battery life is worse than the Nexus for me probably due to the quadcore.
[Xperia Play General] Justinchi:
Some ppl on here WERE definitely bashing him. If you weren't then it wasn't referring to u.
[Xperia Play General] eksasol:
Sorry, I looked over this too quickly and thought it was the controller and the clip thing, but its just the clip then that's overpriced and probably not as new worthy. Just get a stand for your phone or lean it on something, or connect it to the TV. The iControlPad have two different system to clip on phones.

I'm on rooted stock (latest OTA) and every few days all of my google apps will stop responding (Maps, Wallet, search, etc.). I can open them, but they never get to the main screen of the app (just a blank screen). Rebooting it solves the issue. I haven't noticed any correlation with other apps running. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this? I've finally got my phone the way I like it and I'd hate to hard reset if I don't have to.

Thanks!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] willy900wonka:
Try getting the logcat for the event. You can use "alogcat" from market. Search on how to use logcat ( it's color coded for obvious events). Magic bit ( "self" changing) events are more difficult. "Autostarts" from market will let you see your spinlocks, so if any unrelated app has the screen or some other resource then you've got the cause.

Are you using a custom launcher? I was using Apex launcher and it worked awesome for the longest time. Recently my gapps started locking up as well so I uninstalled Apex and haven't had a lockup since. I did NOT reboot after uninstalling Apex, and the issue has cleared up.... Give it a shot if you're using a custom launcher.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cloak.n.dagger:
I am running the stock with the OTA update (no custom ROM or root) and I'm seeing this as well. Good thing is, this has nothing to do with your custom ROMs. Bad thing is, this is a real issue that seem to be affecting everyone!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kornface13:
Oh dang. I'm stock ROM, but I did root it. I haven't seen it since I've uninstalled Apex. Guess it's just a matter of time before I see it again...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] strangemcd:
Just do as huludical has said here. So far this is the only fix that has been working. Something with the Wallet fix in the OTA starting screwing up the way many other Google apps communicate with their servers. By disabling/uninstalling Wallet and clearing the data/cache for Google Services Framework and then a quick reboot and the issue is no more.

Granted, this means, that once again we are unable to use Wallet but that's a small price to pay when the alternative is having Gmail, Maps, Chrome etc etc freezing up every day or so.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] r2tincan:
Is there an update to this situation? I am UN rooted and this is happening to me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dodgeboy:
It's happening less often to me, for some reason, but it still happens. I have not disabled Wallet, because I use it. I'd love for there to be a fix to this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
Hi guys!

Today, I was messing with my Desire (S-OFF, rooted, stock android 2.3.3) and I had to do a factory reset (I went to settings and wiped all data (including SDcard))...

So after that, the phone DID work, but Superuser had constant crashes and I didn't have root (no matter how many times I flashed the su or su binary .zip).

And I decided to go with a custom ROM, so I put a NAND backup of Aurora v6 (sense 3.0 rom) into sdcard>clockworkmod>backup.

Tried that and it didn't work... I was stuck in a loop:

boot logo>boot animation>power off>repeat

So I took the battery out, went to recovery and mounted my SDcard to my PC and put the ROM's zip file onto it... Tried installing and it didn't work (again, the boot loop). I also tried with a different ROM (runnymede's sense 3.5), but the result was the same...

Does anyone know what I did to pi** my Desire off so much?

And how do I fix it?

I've been at it for hours now, but no matter what I do in recovery (or hboot or fastboot), nothing seems to work!

EDIT1: Downloading a stock RUU, hope this helps...

EDIT2: The stock RUU didn't work... Guess I'd have to have a working Desire for this...

EDIT3: I've noticed that the boot animation isn't HTC's anymore... It's text, saying 'android'... Now I'm really out of ideas...

EDIT4: I pressed the 'clear data' or something similar button in bootloader... Seems that caused the weird boot animation? Trying to flash ROMs now
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
A few questions first:

1. Which hboot do you have?

2. Which RUU did you use?

3. What error did you get using RUU?

4. Which method for RUU did you use (run from PC or PB99IMG.zip?

5. How you did partition your sd card and did you make sd-ext (all advance roms sense 3.0 and 3.5 require sd-ext)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handy5876:
Do these ROMs require ext partitions. Check in ROM threads. If nothing works best to downgrade hboot and run ruu 2.3. Thereafter run revolutionary.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
A few answers (only correct if RUU is sort of an android installer)

1.I have the stock hboot (unless I broke that somehow with all my button pressing...)

2.The RUU's name is RUU_Bravo_HTC_WWE_1.21.405.2_Radio_32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.02_2_release_126984_signed

3.Well, since I was only able to try in the bootloader and in the recovery (mount USB storage), both times the error was the same; the installer was unable to detect my Desire...

4.I don't quite understand that (I'm a noob when it comes to 'codenamed' thingies)... What I did was I just downloaded the .exe file and ran it

5.I've tried both with a completely blank SDcard and a partitioned one (256MB size, 0MB swap size)...

Just to point out though that the Aurora ROM didn't need a partitioned SDcard the first time I installed it (when my Desire wasn't in this weird state).

Thanks for your quick reply!

EDIT1:

@handy5876: Yes, they both recommend an ext3 or ext4 SDcard partition. But as said above, the Aurora v6 ROM worked just fine with no partition at all!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
Ok, if you mean stock hboot, which stock Alpharev or HTC? If you have HTC one continue reading. :) If not reboot phone with power and volume down and see what is written on the top of the screen.

Download 2.3 RUU you have a guide in my signature.

Run RUU from bootloader, not recovery just reboot phone with power-volume down and run it from white screen.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] someone755:
I tried with the Aurora ROM again... Now it's just stuck at the bootimage!

Time to listen to a pro ;)

My Hboot doesn't say anything about alpharev... But nobody ever changed that, so it must be HTC, right?

So, the *almost* top of the screen should say 'HBOOT USB PLUG' while running the RUU...?

I already tried that with (I think) Android 2.2 but it didn't detect my phone...
