well i boot up the phone by pressing the power and volume down buttons. Then scroll to recovery and press volume up.

How else should i enter recovery mode? after i install bootstrap and press recovery mode the phone simply shuts down without restarting by itself.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cooldevil1989:
When u press recovery mode in boot strap recovery remember wall charger must be connected to phone... then only u will boot into recovery. ...
[Motorola Photon 4G] vrid:
update:

The phone entered bootstrap recovery.

I pressed install. after the success message i simply returned to the home screen and let the battery die.

then i connected the phone to the wall and turned it on only pressing on the power button (no combinations).

then the bootstrap recovery screen finally showed.

so now i managed to flash MOF 2.3.5.ish v1.4.

I guess this is solved...

thank you for the replies and help.

Thanks, I figured that the ROM was the only way. And you mean the home softkey doesn't work? It would be pretty hard to use without that.

On another note, I haven't quite figured out the key combinations for download and recovery (been using adb commands), and that might be a good thing to include in your op.

nope. noone has it. it has been said to get the stock rom, you need to find someone with 3.6 on android 2.3.5 and update it through KIES, during update KIES will save the rom into temporary folder on the computer, get it from there.

YP-GS1 Bluetooth dialing bug

An observation on a very annoying bug on the YP-GS1 Galaxy Player 3.6 (GINGERBREAD.UELB5)...

One of the advertised features of the Galaxy Player 3.6 is its ability to act as a Bluetooth handset.

To initiate a call, one must go to Applications -> Contacts and tap on the phone number one wishes to dial.

EXCEPT... it doesn't work if there are multiple phone numbers listed for a particular contact.

If there are multiple phone numbers for a particular contact, it doesn't matter which phone number one taps.

The Galaxy Player 3.6 always dials the first phone number listed.

Setting another number as default, etc. doesn't make any difference.

So, the only workaround is to create multiple contact entries, each with only one phone number.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] goldflame09:

Boot animation.

I've noticed the boot animation for this device is a .qmg format. I would love to be able to change to boot animation, but unfortunately, the only thing I can do ATM is disable the animation by renaming the "bootsamsung.qmg" file to something else. I am running the rooted stock ROM. Any help on this matter is greatly appreciated.

---------- Post added at 04:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:31 PM ----------

Would it work if we edited the build.prop or another system file to trick the player, and KIES, into thinking the player was on 2.3.5. Then, KIES would update it to 2.3.6. Possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] baladev:

Hello folks, I'm trying to save the "Aocp wallpapers" from the rom itself to my external SD so that I may set them with quikpic(I use root explorer). If I use the system aocp wallpaper picker, it doesn't set it in native resolution, but seemingly the original pic size which isn't as "HD" looking as I like, and seems to cut out parts of the pic. Using quikpic seems to resize and has great results..Anyone?

I have an alarm app that can play music files stored on the phone.

In my old HTC EVO, I knew that Google Music was stored in a directory (something like android/data/com.google.android.music) but when I go to that directory on my new GNex, it's empty. I'm using ES File explorer to search for music, but can't seem to find any.

I am unrooted and very stock.

Q: which directory does Google Play Music store music in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] house4202:
It's in a different location now

Yea, it used to be /sdcard/Android/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music but they moved it. Try looking in /data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

The downside is that all of your mp3s are numbered and not very easy to differentiate when browsing. Not such a big deal if you just want random plays from your offline music or only have a couple available offline but, it definitely sucks if you have a specific song in mind out of 25K offline songs.

Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slinky22:
I knew about the numbered mp3 issue. Just a random shuffle in the morning is usually good enough to get me out of bed.

I looked and didn't find

/data/data/com.google.android.music/cache/music

It just went to: /data - then "Empty folder"

:confused:

Go back to root

I think you might be in the internal memory or the sd card, still. You need to go all the way back to root. I haven't played around with ES File Manager but it is fairly easy to do in Solid Explorer. Just search Solid Explorer Beta2 by Krzysztof Głodowski in Google Play and you should find it.

Once you are in root, your data folder should have a lot more folders inside.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slinky22:
I downloaded Solid Explorer and tried to go to root /data. "Cannot browse to /data . An unknown error occurred."

As mentioned above - could this be because my device is not rooted?

Meanwhile, I think I'll try that Offline Music Importer.

Thanks for the help, folks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slinky22:
Actually, Offline Music Importer can detect I have Google Music installed, but can't find any files. I know that there is offline music on my device, because I have clicked on the "on device only" button and I can see the songs.

[LG Revolution] I.M.famous XMAN:
that would require editing a lot of xml's. Takes time. I believe somebody is working on porting some of highlimits themes.
[LG Revolution] HighLimit:
Those are easy to fix just replace the battery image in I believe

Framework-res.apk just extract change replace from zip to zip and push

Same for the Calendar.apk (no xml edits needed)

I believe spchicks posted a how to theme tutorial on these forums, That is how I learned. Its very easy Once you get it all set up which is the hardest part.

p.s. These aren't meant to be flashed over the new rom, They have not been ported. They are for others to port or change. I do believe JohnnyAn is the guy to talk to :) But if it works it works.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
So a couple weeks ago I went to bed with my phone unplugged with maybe 80% juice left. Woke up, phone was completely dead and refused to turn on, even after sitting on a charger for 20 minutes. The only way I was able to get it to boot was through recovery. I checked my battery stats and it showed that it dropped steadily to maybe 65% over the course of 4 hours and then dropped straight to zero from 65%. I chalked it up to issues with my ROM because I was having other quirks here and there. The other day I flashed CleanROM 4.5 and everything was gravy. I also flashed the radio from 2.20 and had great signal and LTE speed increases after the flash.

Last night I decided to see how well my phone was sleeping so I took it off the charger at about 11 with 100% charge. When I unplugged it the phone was very warm and was reading about 110 F. I killed everything just to be safe. This morning at 8 my phone was down from full to 75%. WTF. I used to lose MAYBE 2% over night so 25% is a massive drop for me. I plugged it in to my MBP to charge (like I always do) and as soon as I did I got a warning message saying my phone was using more current than the charger could output and the battery dropped instantly from 75% to 18%. I am going to flash a different radio but I am not hopeful that it will solve this considering it has happened with two completely different ROM/Radio combos. I have checked betterbatterystats and even had system panel on monitor all night and nothing was out of the ordinary. Cell standby was at the top of the list in the stock battery stats but that seems normal to me considering I didn't turn the screen on once. There was no time without signal. Has anyone else experienced this issue? What do you guys think- hardware or software?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Couple weeks ago, sometime after flashing the rooted stock 2.23 and 2.23 radio, I had the issue of the battery being dead overnight. It was something like 70% when I went to bed, so I was surprised it died. I typically get more drainage while idle than you, but still usually only 2 to 3% per hour. Even less on the 2.23 radio, around 1.5% (or less) an hour while idle.

Hasn't happened since. I'm still wondering what happened?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Yeah I have no idea what's going on. Now it seems to be fine, and I haven't done anything to it yet. Took it off the charger at noon with about 80% on it, now it's almost 9 and I'm at 65% with 33min screen time and 30 minutes of voice calls. Pretty good for only a 15% drop. Really confused. Gonna charge it up all the way and unplug it again before bed to see if the same thing happens again.

Oh noes! Maybe I should get an iPhone?!

Last night I went to bed with 83%, woke up 7 hours later with the same 83%. This is madness I tell you. Madness.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
Just my hunch, a dead vertical drop on the battery meter (you mentioned it had dropped straight from 65% to zero?) is just an error in the meter reading, and the "later" reading is the correction. I would think such an instantaneous (or near instantaneous) drop in actual voltage is improbable, if not impossible. But I'm just a dump civil engineer, not an electrical.

I've seen a vertical drop once. Others have reported seeing it repeatedly. In those cases, a factory reset seems to fix it, but flashing a ROM (with the usual data and cache wipes) would seem to do the same.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
