Yes im saying the zip. Something isnt getting placed where it belongs or something is corrupt. And DONT use the USB mode, get an actual Mirco SD to SD adapter and a SD to USB adapter and do it that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MARINERMOOSE241:
I have an adapter so I can try that right now. However, if the md5 hash is correct wouldn't that mean the zip downloaded correctly? And it still doesn't answer why every JB from bootloops while ICS does not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
Yes that is usually the norm. But it is millions and millions and millions of bits of data we are talking about here... all it takes is for one of those bits to either not be there or be in the wrong place to screw it up. And yes that is extremely strange, but seeing as you are the only one experiencing this, i am sure its not the ROMs and its something you are doing or not doing. Im not trying to be rude or imply that you are dumb. its just extremely hard to pin point something weird like this when i dont have the device in my hands. See where im getting here?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MARINERMOOSE241:
I totally agree I don't believe its the roms themselves as they seem to work for most people. I've just never ran across this before.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] elesbb:
I have on my HD2. But a complete format of the memory card using HP USB disk tools fixed it. Have you tried that yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MARINERMOOSE241:
Formated the SD card ... used the external adapter to copy the flash to the SD same bootloop :( I also copied the file directly to internal storage removed the sd card and flashed same result... looks like no Jelly bean for me... so freaking odd as I can flash ICS any rom all day long just fine.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Just something I've noticed and if anyone has some insight I'd appreciate it. I have the evo 3d on sprint, my fiancé has the droid bionic on Verizon. Sprint just works, but on the bionic, and lg revolution before that, wouldn't get data connection or calling/texting if the bars and data indicators in the notification bar were lit up blue. If they're white, she gets nothing. Why? It's like there's service available but the phone won't connect to it at times. This happened to the revolution too so I'm under the impression its Verizon of the way they do things.

And to clarify, the number of bars will still fluctuate like ours, not that some are blue and some are white. Same goes for the data connection, it'll list 3g, 4g, or not be present depending on what's available. But no matter what's showing, if it's white, you might as well be in airplane mode.

I asked in the bionic forum too but no one shared any info yet.
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
I'm assuming you won't get many responses here, since this isn't a Verizon forum. But I have experience with the Bionic actually. Two of my friends have the Bionic, and have the same issues you do. I recently took an 8 hour trip with two friends that have the Bionic, and one friend with another phone on Verizon (a new samsung I think). I of course, being a Sprint customer, literally had no data/cell coverage about 80% of the trip. The one with the brand new Verizon phone had 4g about 75% of the time, and 3g the other 25%. She was streaming pandora and had Navigation going the whole time, without a SINGLE hiccup or buffering in the music. The two with the Bionic always had cell coverage, but their 4g was VERY spotty, and only worked about 40% of the time.

Also at my house, the person with the samsung always has 4g and never had a problem with data connectivity. The two with the Bionics very frequently experience 4g dropouts, and the handoffs between 4g and 3g normally cause streaming audio/video to cut out.

So based on my experience, the Bionic is just a bad phone all together.

Thanks. I did get a response this morning in the other forum. They're saying it's having trouble connecting to Google services. But that doesn't make sense why nothing works...

imho voice recognition will always suck as long as it is dependent on a data connection, so until in-phone storage becomes big enough to handle monster applications like a full speech recognition program without relying on external data, you might as well accept they are a waste of time, after all, it is just Vlingo re-bundled, and that was awful too!
[Acer Iconia A500] SaraDroid:
Hello,

I have two issues

I unlocked my bootloader as in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1622425

I installed V8-pubA50._public_recovery and Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT ROM then Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1 ROM ( coz it says that it supports my language which is ARABIC) then back to Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT. ROM which are listed in this thread. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633907

Issue one:

When I wipe data in order to install the ROM I did the instructions completely:

Wipe data ,wipe cache ,wipe Dalvik cache , format system , format cache, format data and format flexrom ( I didn't find toggle data media thing in backup and restore ...it's not listed in my CWM recovery )

I made a " clean tab" also

It showed this error while wiping:

" E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk1p2 "

I didn't restore any thing and rebooted the tablet ....still my data was not wiped including media , photos and documents ( only apps were wiped)

I don't know is that normal?

Both roms worked perfectly before restoring my data

however "Acer_AV041_A500_1.041.00_WW_CUS1" ROM was loop booting after I restored my data!

While " Acer_AV041_A500_1.054.00_WW_GEN1-DEODEXED-FULLROOT " ROM failed to recognize photos in gallery and preview problem with camera ....i don't know yet if there is other problems

I guess this has to do with wiping ...what did I do wrong?

The second issue :

Since I got my Acer it never supported Arabic perfectly!

I updated my Acer then I. Got root and custom Thor ROMs then ICS. .....

The thing is when I copy any Arabic text it doesn't understands it and paste it with messed Arabic letters and strange characters !

There r also some files which cannot read Arabic at all such as office files..

the only ROM that seemed to understand Arabic texts in browser and other apps is ICS leak rom ...I found that coz once I installed the leak ROM without unlocking my hc bootloader and u know...it kept crashing but the Arabic was good!

Is it good to flash the leak ICS now that I have unlocked my bootloader? Isn't it for developers to develop?

My final Question:

Is my tablet going to die after all these formats and hacking of system?:eek:

Thank u for ur patience and for all the genius work u ( developers) do and excuse me for talking too much and for the weak language!

I hope I made my problems clear!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Wow. Ok, I'll take a shot at this. With Public Recovery, the option to "toggle data/media" is not available. This is only available on Thor CWM V1.7.3 for ICS. Basically, it will wipe all internal data. Photos, music, downloaded stuff, etc. Sometimes, bad data gets in there, and it;s necessary to wipe/format it. It removes most everything. It's not to be confused with the /UserData partition on your tab. This is where downloaded apps, user data such as log-ins, mail, etc.

As with the error, try update=ing your recovery to Thor 1.7.3 and see if you still get it.

This is normal. See above statement.

Yes, it has to do with wiping and 1 other thing. I think you did most things right. However, you have to be careful about installing "Full Roms". For example, If you install 1 specific build rom, then install another rom, You CAN NOT restore Data. Doesn't work most of the time. And as you see, you had issues.

Restoring Data, really only works if you are restoring it back to the exact same version rom. Just because both are ICS, does not mean you can restore Data and be successful. Changes are made between rom versions. Another example would be to use Titanium Backup. It was good in the old days, but not really effective unless you install the exact same rom again.

This is always going to be an issue. And it will depend on which "com_Gen" version rom you install, and where it came from. They are not all the same, and usually are based on region. Just as there are several arabic dialects. They are similar, but yet are different. Just as in spanish. Spanish in Spain, is different from Puerto Rican Spanish. Similar, but different. If you didn't have issues on the "leaked" version, then it is okay to put it on the unlocked bootloader. You may want to update to EXTerry's OC/UV kernel though as that may stop the crashing. Crashing was probably due to the HC bootloader.

No. Probably not. I have put my 501 through over 400 flashings, bricked bootloaders, and well, I don't know how many other things.I've ADB'd, fastbooted, and NVFlashed more times than you can imagine.

The 500/501, is probably the best tab when it comes to abuse. And a lot of people have tested this theory. I can think of only 2 or 3 in the past year, that were hard bricked with bad memory blocks. My best advice, have your UID number written down somewhere.

Hope I answered your questions.

[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
No problem!

As with the rom page, Vache lost his server that had all our roms and leaks on it, so Blackthund3r has put together a thread with a ton of roms that people had on their system, trying to get a lot of them back. So you may want to check there. I think it's in the Dev Forum.

We (XDA Devs) don't do the translations. They come from Acer. ;)

I rolled back to hc boatloader ....i made a FULL RESTORE...i restored rom , apps, ..full restore!.... to get my photoes , media , documents ...etc back but it didn’t!

I’m really surprised! ....how come a full backup doesn’t backup media and files!!!

Android then is made just for playing games and browsing internet!

Android sucks!
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Well Mate, it did "exactly" as you told it to.

When you toggled Data/Media, then did formats before you installed another rom, it did exactly what you told it to do. Deleted all the downloaded info, fotos, etc. As I told you, it will delete everything.

If you toggled Data/Media before you did your backup, it would more than likely include that section in the backup. In normal and most cases, people leave this alone, as generally there is no reason to use it unless you have corrupted data. And the data remains.But you never asked about that.

Also note, that CWM backups are restricted to about 4gb. It'll give you errors if it exceeds that limitation.

So it's not that Android is stupid, in fact quite the contrary, it allows a lot of flexibility in doing things. One must do the research first and ask many questions and learn how to use it.

Always remember, when you root and modify from the factory, you must be prepared to deal with the possible consequences. It's really no different than saving fotos and documents on a pc. Most people keep backups of them (one hopes). To keep all your eggs in one basket, is just waiting for the basket to break.

There should be a frameworks_res_background_holo_dark.png file inside the theme file. Replace it with a black png. This way you get to keep your existing theme while changing the background.

If it isn't there, you'll need to replace the file background_holo_dark.png inside your framework-res.apk file under the drawable folder

Is it possible to change it without a computer?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow-Nexus:
Thanks man it worked perfectly

Do you have a guide on creating zip themer themes?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Glad it worked for you. I haven't written a guide, but its really not hard. I make them on my phone using root explorer. Extract the zip and have a look. You'll see that there is a folder for the apk(s) you want to theme without the .apk file extention. Subfolders inside that are structured exactly the same as inside the apk. Then you have the xml file that tells ZipThemer where to put what. Using the same format, create a line for each apk you're theming, followed by a line describing the path. Edit the author, theme name and description. Once you're done, zip the whole thing up & it's ready to go.

.....memoirs of a flash addict.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shadow-Nexus:
That sounds easy!

I thought the XML file was auto generated by some program
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stumpy352:
Nah, you have to edit it yourself. Go to my ghost thread and download the theme. Unzip it and study the file structure and xml structure in ghost.xml. Should give you a feel for it. Images will theme on any rom using this method, but you've got to be careful with adding xml files to the app folders. Some xml, especially layout stuff will break some roms. That's why I've only made ghost for stock roms.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShirazSuleman:
Hey Guys,

I am looking for some help. My phone seems to be losing charge at a rate of about 5% an hour when I am at work, tried with 2 different ROMs (NEAT and Wanam stock+rooted) so far and 2 different Modems (LPS and LPG) and it is the same with both. At home, it loses around 1-2% an hour which is much better. The difference I think is the signal level, at home it averages around -85dBm (3G) and an average of around -105dBm (3G) at work which I think causes it to switch between 2G and 3G often and that could be the reason for the battery drain.

Aside from switching my phone to "GSM Only", do you guys have any other suggestions to improve the signal/battery life?

The main culprit on the battery usage screen is Android OS:

It does not look to be ROM or Radio dependent so far as I have tried 2 different versions of both and still, I have drain.
