No matter what USB drivers I install, what method I try, what port It try, etc. it isn't recognized. NO IDEA WHY.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osuron07:
Since XDA will not let me post in the Android General because I don't have 10 posts, I'll ask here. So why do we have to wipe data/cache exactly when switching roms? I understand system obviously, and just know we have to wipe them all, but I've never understood why we have to wipe our data partition, but then restoring wipe titanium is just fine.. doesn't it just backup the data partition?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gcodori:
You might be confusing what the "data" you are wiping...you are not wiping your personal data, just data associated with the prior rom. So when you go to a new rom you remove traces of the old rom plus anything that may be in the cache. Having old rom settings can interfere with your new rom. Your personal data (photos, music, etc) will still be there. You only need to restore apps.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Never restore system settings or apps with titanium backup.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trter10:
There are more than just apps in the data partition. ALL user settings are on /data/. Titanium only backs up apps.

The real reason to wipe data like the above post said is to remove conflicting ROM data
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osuron07:
Yeah I think you're right, I've always associated data with apps only. What other data is out there? (not being smart, serious question lol)
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
Information that relates to the system level processes. Remnants that get left behind after clearing the different caches too.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osuron07:
oh.. well now wiping makes more sense haha
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osuron07:
Maybe this is to much to ask, but what exactly is in data/davlik/cache that is so harmful to new roms that they must be wiped? (I understand data more now).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] armyboy11b:
Data from another rom will conflict with a different rom and cause issues..different coding etc etc its quite a few reasons honestly..just wipe data,cache,dalvik cache and don't worry about why wipe :) unless u like force closes and such lol
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osuron07:
Fair enough haha
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trapperjohn:
Hi,

I understand why you would not restore system settings but not apps? User downloaded apps that titanium has backed up should be ok.

Thanks,

Bryan
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disconnecktie:
I'm not talking about user apps. System apps. Do not back those up. The only system data that can be restored are SMS,call log, and mail.

I can't use (samsung) Kies! and CyanogenMod 9 RC1?

I'd like to synchronise my adresbook, agenda etc. again with the use of Kies! but I can't get a connection with my GiO with CyanogenMod 9 RC1 installed, do I need to change a setting or can't this be done at this moment?

I hope someone can help me out and with kind regard, Tim.

Question: AirDroid can import my kies backups too? I'll give it a go, thx for the tip...

Is there a solution to import the (kies) calender .ssc file in android or perhaps convert is first?

PicsArt

PicsArt - Photo Studio is a good one If you want to add some effect to your photos. Check out https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.picsart.studio&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5waWNzYXJ0LnN0dWRpbyJd, it's free. I used it for a while, a bit slow, but good.

Just try it, I recommend it. (If it is not good, use computer and photoshop cs6.)
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheXfan:
Mmmm...

I recommend you "Photoshop" like binhari says, It's very easy to use and have a lot of options.

If you want a photo editot when you're taking the photo you can use as free "Camera Effects", I love that apliccation.

You can use Picassa or another apps, you can find it in the Google Play Store putting: "Camera", "Camera effects", "Photo", "Photo editing", and a lot of keywords, Google play is your friend :laugh:

I have a problem regarding the Display Font on my I9100 with CM9...

I will post some pictures comparing the Homescreen on CM9 and CheckRom v6...You can see the fonts are beeing displayed different, and on CM9 the bold font is different from the normal one...

I would like to switch to CM9, but i want to keep my mods...

Hope anybody can help me find out what exactly the problem is...

The first two pics are the CM9 Rom, the others the CheckRom v6...

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] groovdafied:
So I'm reading this everywhere and it says I have to use kies to upgrade the software. After reinstalling kies and formatting the tablet, kies is telline me that my device cannot receive software updates via kies. What gives?

How do I do this, this is very frustrating. Why can't Samsung just update their crap over the air like everyone else. Do I need to manually download the firmware from here and install it via the sd card?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] northofdivision:
tab plus wifi only US live oTA but!!!

its available. mine just came OTA when i turned it on this morning 6210 tab plus wifi only. but when i tried to install it it didn't work. its up on the sammobile site too as least but i don't have a pc (have a mac) to run that ridiculous kies app. go to galaxy tab plus general here on xda and there is a thread running about the new ics out (unrooted)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] GB.Says:
Same here. I've had a couple of firmware updates in the last week or so but I'm still at 3.2. Either its prepping my tablet for ICS or they were true 3.2 updates.

I chatted with a Samsung tech rep and she said that they were upgrading customers in batches and not everyone at once. Never heard that one before. I suppose if you wanted to keep the load on your servers happy, batching would make sense...

Anybody else hear about this?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
I'm as happy as anyone else with this new method of unlocking the bootloader. I'm rooted the ODIN way and then have bean's stock rom with imosey's custom rom installed (via the k-exec). I've read that people are doing this with all different kinds of rom and recovery.

My question: what happens to the k-exec? All gets re-written? we don't need to go to stock to get this to work? It seems to me that it would be safer if we re stock, no?

I know there is a one click now but I prefer manual stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vx2ko:
I was wondering the same thing. I want to flash an kexec kernel but idk what might happen now that I'm unlocked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
You should be fine assuming you still have a kexec compatible recovery. Eventually all roms will move to full unlocked so kexec will pretty much be a thing of the past.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
So running this new unlock method can be accomplished with K-exec on the phone? I've always thought that k-exec was a bott=strap kind of a method. Wouldn't this get messed up with this new method?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PJnc284:
I'm on Synergy 1.7 (non-nightly) and it's running fine. Still using the stock kernel and not Imo's lean kernel but it apparently still worked for others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vx2ko:
We need a list of non kexec and kexec recoveries and kernels. I've been in the Rom flashing and troubleshooting game for a while but never had to use a locked otloader so this kexec stuff is new. If someone could clarify what's kexec and what's not that would be great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus2405:
To the best of my knowledge, when the bootchain gets to the boot partition, it loads the kernel on boot.img. It then proceeds to start up the system partition. If you're using kexec, the ROM you're using checks whether the kernel is the expected one or stock. If it isn't the right one, it reboots to recovery, passing instructions to CWR on what to do when it gets there (please feel free to correct me on that part, my knowledge there is vague). That's the first reboot. Once in recovery, those instructions tell recovery to load the right kernel into memory and uses kecex to perform a hardware restart and boot from the kernel it just put in memory. That's the second reboot you see. Once that kernel is loaded up, it starts up the system partition and finishes booting into your ROM.

Before, if the image on boot did not match what the bootloader would permit, it would throw an error and refuse to boot. Unlocking the bootloader allows us to put whatever we want on boot. What got overwritten when you unlocked your bootloader was aboot, the part of the boot sequence that's loaded before the boot partition. If you install a rom that includes a boot.image, now it will just boot from that with whatever kernel. It boots normally, the rom no longer needs to reboot into recovery to load the correct kernel, and all of that kexec infrastructure, which is still there goes unused.

So as long as you don't switch to a recovery without kexec support, you can flash whatever you want, kexec, stock, or using the unlocked bootloader. You can't get yourself into any trouble restoring a backup can't fix.

Of course, if you were to switch to TWRP or another recovery not supporting kexec and then try to boot a kexec rom, you're asking for a bootloop. So stick with the recovery you're using now until every rom or kernel you'd possibly try no longer uses kexec.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] loveubuntu:
Thank you, great explanation. To clarify: If you have k-exec and rot before the bootloader unlock leak and now unlock your bootloader with the new leak, you have the best of both worlds. If you use a ROM that uses K-exec, the k-exec part kicks in and if you use the new CM10 alpha without k-exec, the k-exec is unused and the new unlock bootloader is utilized.

Is that right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
Folks...listen up! You can unlock your device on any rom. That being said now that your unlocked, kexec or non kexec kernels will work on a unlocked device. Just make sure your unlocked and using cwm 6.0.1 and everything thats currently available to flash on our device will work. Kexec is not some majical program where we need to worry about bricking our device. Its simply a script that hijacks the boot process after the stock kernel passes verification and then it side loads the custom kexec kernel off of the recovery partition. Unlocking the bootloader has no effect on any of this. Im still using imoseyons 12-2 kexec kernel with beans 8 and the only difference is the device boots up alot quicker. Reason being the bootloader is no longer checking for signed software. Its really no big deal folks..everything still works the same.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pschatz12:
Quick noob question. I rooted and flashed synergy v1.7 using ROM Manager from the app store. When I open the app is says rom manage v5.0.1.5 at the top. Everything is running perfect and do not want to flash a new rom until synergy does a jellybean rom. Should I use the unlock app to unlock my phone now or is there no need? Also is rom manager ok to continue using or should I use something else? Thanks for the help

I know JuiceDefender has a brightness option (in the paid versions, at least, but IMHO it's worth it) that lets you set the minimum, maximum, and midpoint of light levels for the automatic sensor. Not sure if it's as granular as you might need but it might be.

[General Questions and Answers] Prosis:
Hi

So I was using CM7 with Link2SD and everything was going smoothly.

Then I discovered I could call using my headphones which was possible on stock ROM. After I searched, I found out that the nightly build had that bug corrected. So I update to nightly.

Then the you know what hit the fan :P

So I boot back and get a warning from Link2SD that my card could not be mounted during boot and that therefore my apps were not available and that I had to reboot. So I did. Same message. I recreated the scripts and rebooted, same message.

So I go back on the stable version of CM7. Same problem.

I tried recreating the partitions on gparted and using ClockWorkMod and trying different formats (ext2, ext3, ext4, Fat32), formatted everything including /system, went back to stock ROM and then back on CM7, nothing works! I keep getting the same error message.

I went to see the log and it says that it cannot be mounted because device or resource busy.

So, here are my questions:

- Does that mean that something from the nightly build has been left behind?

- If so, how do I get rid of it?

- If not, how can I get rid of this error. I tried everything I could find.

I also think that it may have left some files behind because I'm on Koodo. The only stock ROM I could find was Telus. The first time I restored stock ROM using the Telus ROM, I had to do some keypad numbering to get Koodo back. But the last time I restored the stock ROM it detected it as Koodo instantly.

Thank you :)
