[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lukaslundgreen:
stock recovery isn't the same as custom recovery

Hello,

Your best bet is to flash your phone back to the Stock ICS rooted ROM. Use One Click Root 5.1 in Development Thread. You'll never be able to use the stock recovery to do anything. Only a custom recovery allows you to install custom ROMs

Once you're back to Stock ICS, then install a CUSTOM version of Jelly Bean by searching through the development thread for the best ROM

You should:

Unlock your bootloader

Flash ClockworkMOD Touch Recovery 6.0.1.0

Flash a JB ROM

Flash GAPPS

reboot
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frizzen:
still can't get into recovery :confused:

ok, thx I'll try it :good:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hujon:
Did you hold down ask the buttons until the recovery menu came up? Or just try doing it by only holding down the power and volume Chan button
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Frizzen:
I just flashed it with one click root, and it's works

I've flashed into Aokp ROM & using AIR kernel r193, it's incredibly smooth and fast :laugh:

but the play store still force to close :confused:

I have had my note for awhile now flashed tons of ROMs experimented with tablet mode and frankly I'm bored. I'm looking for some tweaks to try out or just something to "wow" me and others. Can anyone push me in the right direction.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Sharky157:
As much as it pains me to say it give the paranoid Android rom a try...can customize it more then a ...well use your imagination ... that is if your phone was 1 of the lucky few meant to run it...some of us were informed that not all Gnote's are made equal...happy flashing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] otter23:
That what I'm on now. Thanks for the suggestion.

I was just super hyped about android and the customization after coming iOS. Haven't found anything that I can say this why my note is better except a bigger screen.

Flash is gone with jelly bean.

I'm fighting the urge to switch back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] VisualSilence:
I personally could not make the switch back, so far this is this most control I've had over a phone. I'm doubtful you'll find any of the "wow" factor back on the iPhone.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kiltedthrower:
I don't understand what you mean by wow you? What exactly wows you? What tweaks do you want aside from being able to change the way the screen completely looks indefinitely?

I think the newness of devices gives it the wow factor more than anything. I'm pretty sure that if you went to another phone, you'd be looking for wow factor again.

For me, I really enjoy being able to control my laptop from my note while the laptop is hooked up to a projector and doing class presentations for my students. That usually gets a "wow. That's really cool you can do that"

No offense but if you can't find more customization or fun to do with a note in comparison with iPhone you aren't doing ANYTHING right bud... but checkout my thread it will give you tons of apps, clocks, widgets, wallpapers, etc to customize and pimp your phone

I don't know if there's just a slow down in development or if this is the way it always is.

Slow down in development? The development thread is packed full of ROMs and whatnot. The developers are constantly updating their stuff. Really unless you're specific about what you're looking for, then it's hard to help with vague.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
A suggestion for you...

Have you considered expanding your own knowledge of android ?

By this I mean, grab a linux box and do some coding/compiling?

By far, my greatest times on android are busting open the bits and pieces of the OS, and tweaking something cool.

Then booting up to see the changes.

I am no developer, but I really enjoy the challenge of trying something for myself.

I learn more every day, and the interest never dies. For example, I am working on low speed dual core operations with forced core activation, and I am including a

Potential modulating governor script to go with it.

It may never work, but it sure is fun to try..

The "wow" factor wont die, unless you kill it.

Expand your mind, then try, try, try.......g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Ceasare:
How do you do this? Also, is it possible on a Mac laptop?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] kinghorsey:
I believe you can set up production on a Mac but its probably not ideal. Go to android.com and check out the developers section.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Kinghorsey is correct ....

Go to the website he gave you , and begin there.

You will learn a great deal very quickly. You can learn to theme , create apps, cook your own roms from source, and many other things.

This is the beauty of android. You can do whatever you wish. IOS will never allow this.

Happy exploring , and learning ....g

The iphone 3gs is crap compared to the iphone 4s. I mean just look. 4 is clearly better than 3.

:P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] n82k:
I had all 4 Iphones sans the original and when I had them loved them all, but all-in-all from 3gs on no matter all the coolest tweaks/themes the phones ended up exactly the same phone with a marginal increase in speed per iteration. Between the 4 and 4s I tried out the HTC amaze while not enough to pull the isheep wool from my eyes I developed an affair with android and tried the s2 s3 and my current love, the note, cut the cord. The wow factor hasn't went away at all. Although I love being rooted, just for the sake of this argument, with a stock android device I can get most the same features as jail broken idevice with all available free tweaks w/o pirating. I guess it is to each his own in the end and at the end of the day some apple lovers won't try android or give it a chance if they do and most reason that people stay with Iphones IMHO have nothing to do with hardware or software. Point being, the massive hw/sw improvement and constant improvement of android over ios is something to be, as well as stay excited about.

I used to own IOS Device Iphone 3G & 3GS

I do not know how many times I got to say this I Phone will always be I Crap in my book...

IOS was really neat I though a long time ago that's why I bought it like in 2008 to be honest I didn't know about Android until 2010.

I did everything Jailbreak, Custom Themes and such.... it didn't feel like it was a pc felling to me even I jailbreak it.

After I messed around with Android Tablet for the first time I was mind blowing I felt like I could do anything on this device and it had Firefox which at the time I phone didn't have any other browser and they finally got FireFox took them 5 years omg and so many people beg for FireFox on IOS device.

IOS is not open source keep this in mind and what I mean by this is IOS is so striated on their apps and what goes on their Apple Market. keep this is mind.

As for Android it's an open source which it can be from 3rd party venders and such.

I will tell you Flash Player will never come on the IOS Device and yes you can jailbreak it to get Flash it's not fully function Flash Player as compared to Android Platform.

I cannot name 1 thing bad about the Androids they are so much better then IOS

I can go on and on After I got my Note I was so happy big screen, replace battery and sd card and I phones do not allow replace battery and sd cards that's something to keep in mind for extra storage.

There more customization on Android then their is on IOS

XDA Developers team Like someone mention before there is always someone working on Roms for a device and Note is so new and give it time bro

Not to sound rude (actually I don't care) but if you have that much time to sit around and think about your phone ..something is bad wrong. Sounds to me that either you have i-fans picking on you about your phone and you want to fit in with the sheep or you really need a girlfriend. If you already have one..find a new one...and get out of the house. Or maybe you just really do need to go back to the baby sitting by apple and their old smartphone. At least if you do that, apple can tell you what should "wow" you and then you don't have to bother us with it.

Its 2012, not 2007. The only thing keeping the iPhone alive is simple minded people that like to be told what to think and like. Your average iPhone owner made the purchase because they wanted to look cool ...sad thing is that the average iPhone user can't even use the remedial iOS they hold in their hands. If you want to compare mods ...go over to modmyi (I'm sure you know it) and stand in awe of such mods as changing the color of your keyboard....lmfao.....I'm so glad apple doesn't get my money anymore...I gave it to them for 15 years. (I stopped using ALL apple products) Best thing about all of my android devices? Not one of them try to tell me what to like, buy or how to think. They also don't make me look like a douche just by holding them in my hand.....I can be a douche on my own..lol

Just use your phone or go back to "idowhatimtold" and be part of the flock of zombies. BTW, if you do go back to the iPhone...enjoy using hardware built by Samsung, Sony and others that apple pays to roll out those pathetic phones. Now if you will excuse me, I'm going to go purchase a Nissan and then get on the Nissan website and tell them why Honda is a better product

hello everyone,

i think i bricked my Xperia S somehow.

what i did is :

1 unlocked the boot loader.

2 update my kernel with ics13.elf

after this my phone was still working.

then i put the FXP134-cm-9-20120817-UNOFFICIAL-anzu on my internal space (turned out to be for Arc, how stupid ididnt read)

i started with the custom recovery and installed CM9 but it gave an error and stopped ( cause of arc software i think but didnt knew it then)

then i did the following as explained on some sites:

-wipe data/factory reset

-advanced > wipe dalvik

-mounts > format system

-mounts /mount system

after this step i rebooted, cause then i found out i gotthe wrong CM9 and wanted to put the right one on my internal space.

after the reboot Sony logo prompted and just freezes there.

cant turn of or on my phone, have to wait till the battery is empty.

but then again when i charge it a little the logo comes and freezes again.

now i try to do safeboot or recovery both wont work.

PLZ plz help me.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
you've got 2 possibilities:

1st:

reflash the advanced stock kernel and boot into recovery

download the right CM9 file > http://get.cm/get/jenkins/5933/cm-9.0.0-nozomi.zip

try to mount USB mass storage and place the file on your phone

restart the process of installing CM9 like you did before

2nd:

flash a stock firmware via flashtool

let it boot, download the CM9 file and place it on your phone

flash advanced stock kernel , boot into recovery and install CM9.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] qwer43:
Hi, my external sdcard1 is in the directory as the main sdcard, sdcard0, under /system.

If i go inside sdcard0 and open the folder external_sd, no files are in there.

When using the apps beam reader or hide n seek, it can only see the sdcard0, not the sdcard1.

I tried reflash and wipe internal and external sdcard but still the ext sdcard is still assigned as sdcard1.

I would appreciate any fix.

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
I believe that the structure for the internal/external files is set during the flash and initial boot of the device, and is rom dependent. thats why I always format the emmc partition, (internal sd card) when flashing a new build.

It seems too often that leftovers are present on the emmc, and are not cleared when wiping in the recovery.

now I'm not saying that this is an absolute, but I'm guessing that if you were too backup your data...(pictures, documents) to PC, and then go to recovery and format the emmc partition, (along with a clean format to FAT32 of the external SD card )...

that upon reboot, the rom dependent file structure will be placed on the internal emmc partition. And you will then see the proper file structure for the external card.

It has worked well for me several times in the past, and with the exception of a few CM builds, will not cause errors. And regarding CM card sight errors, it appears that the file, system/nomedia, placed to the device by rom manager app, will block the access to the external SD entirely by failing to mount. And can be corrected by removing the nomedia file.

I'm no expert, and I'm simply trying my best to help....g

What do you mean "format the emmc partition"? Is the TWRP, it's either WIPE>Internal Storage or ADVANCED>Partition SD Card, under this option, there is a number for EXT size and the default was 512 and Swap Size: 32.

Please advise.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Parinibbana:
I think I got a similar issue than you once had and I wonder, how did Mini Partition Tool solve your problem?

My issue is this:

When running the stock Samsung firmware, my external SDCARD was mounted at /storage/extSdCard

I have now installed CM13 (Bliss-ROM) and the external SD card is mounted at /storage/3937-3663

As a result, my restored apps (via Titanium) are looking at /storage/extSdCard for files that are at /storage/3937-3663.

What's the ideal way to resolve my "apps looking in the wrong place" problem?

Renaming "3937-3663" to "extSdCard" is not possible.

Re-linking the apps to the correct path would be very time-consuming, esp. for apps like "Tasker", which has many wrong path-entries right now.

Any suggestions?

Alright so i bought a usb powered hub, a usb OTG cable, and a usb DAC. I can get the usb DAC working fine by hooking everything up but i cannot get the Nook to charge while in USB host mode. Is this a problem with the settings on the Nook or the USB hub i bought? Also is there any way to charge the nook at 2A while in USB host? I assume this would require a custom cable but i have found very limited information on the internet.
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
2 ampere? No. The TI chip responsible for charging tops at 1.5 ampere.

Most quality USB hubs don't power the host input without modification.

See: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=22956658&postcount=103

The tricky part is getting the regulator to be enabled when you plug in the cable.

Use UsbMode-1.6.apk (in signature) to see if it stays enabled.

Have your back-powering hub mated with the OTG adapter already,

the Nook set to peripheral and plug in the end of the OTG adapter.

It should go straight to host and charging without touching a button.
