[HTC Wildfire S] HyperEscape:
Diggin up an old thread, because somehow I do have the same questions and came across the same scenarios of restoring apps which were linked to the external partition.

To be more specific, as guided for Link2SD, the external partition is the second primary partition (first partition needs to be primary Fat32) on the MicroSD card (SanDisk 16GB UHSC in my case) and can be ext2/3/4.

For my Galaxy S-IV running WanamLite 4.2 ROM, it gets mounted to the root folder /data/sdext2 , so in that case :

1. A nandroid backup supposedly should backup the /data/sdext2 as a normal folder, even though it is a linked mount directory and all the contents in /data/sdext2 actually reside on the 2nd partition on the MicroSD card.

2. Not sure about it, a titanium backup. It does not uses the APK , as in it does not execute the APK, it simply backups the apk file as contents. So they Link2SD is described to work is that it moves the actual APK file from the "internal" memory to the /data/sdext2 (which is actually on the MicroSD card), and leaves a symbolic link in the actual program folder. Guess I cant say that when titanium backup reaches to backup a certain app, does it or would it simply backup the symbolic link present in the original app folder or would it follow the symbolic link to find the actual APK in /data/sdext2 and then back it up.

The whole process with apps linked to /data/sdext2 in extrenal microSD card using Link2SD and trying to create a backup using Titanium backup works or should work fine , the real pain and trick comes when restoring such a mixed backup of apps (internal, SD, and external MicroSD) during a system upgrade or complete system wipe , installing a new ROM (with or without wiping the 2nd partition on MicroSD). To date i havent found a problem free solution to it and always have to make my way through to ensure apps are available.

Thanks.

Link2sd partition not seen by cwm

My cwm doesn't seem to see the link2sd partition. My cwm backup is around 3 go, and my link2sd partition is 7 go, so I assume that I need to manually backup the last one. Can't find an android tool to backup the hole partition in one (split) file.

HBO GO jelly bean solution

This is for those who are patient and really want hbo go to work on jelly bean.

steps.

1. Flash installed

2. Open stock browser and user agent to desktop. Settings/advanced/user agent

3. Hbogo.com on stock browser

4. Sign in as you would in your pc. It's a pain because the page is very unresponsive and is hard to select a tv provider.

Picking a show is just is hard recommend putting the shows you want to watch on watch list before trying but go ahead and try but can be done

My picture is of East bound and down on my galaxy nexus I'm running the aokp jelly bean rom. You can go full screen if you hit the full screen button in the bottom right if the screen as you would on your pc.

Hope this helps and hopefully soon Hbo will update their app but if you saw how long it took for tablets so im not holding my breathe.

I learned this back in the day with hulu when flash was fairly new to android and thought i would give it a shot and it worked. Hope it does for everyone else.

This should also work with max go if you subscribe to Cinemax.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Apple sued Sammy: Then G-Nex was banned(later appealed). Then another sue to potentially kill android.

But Apple's A5X processor is made by Samsung.

So Apple should be careful otherwise Sammy could kill all i devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] lonoguge:
Samsung will destroy apple, lawsuits or not. Open sources/ freedom always comes out on top. Its this difference that leaves the first generation iPhones still running iOS 3 and the original galaxy s with the latest os jelly bean.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mike-y:
it's a little more complicated than that. while sammy makes the chips in the current crop of iDevices, They would really not like to lose all that apple business (think of all the millions of samsung parts sold to apple. samsung makes a LOT of money from apple products, and it would be a huge hit to their business if that stopped.

I think apple may be moving away from samsung for the next gen devices anyway, so it may not even matter.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Fluidification:
Actually iPad is a5x, made by Sammy, and next iPhone 5 will most likely have the same processor.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Sorry airfluip but there's no way that happens. Sammy makes money off of those chips they sell to Apple. If Sammy decides not to give Apple the chips they would be in breach of contract. Lots of money lost either way. Let's say that Sammy decides not to renew the contract. Well you can bet there are plenty of other chip manufacturers out there who would love the cash from that contract. Did I mention money? It's the bottom line when concerning business. Consumers may have brand loyalty but companies do not.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
Hi hechoen

You're also not accurate.

Regarding the Retina screen that Sammy manufactures for the idevices, Sammy's the only one in the world that was up for the specifications Apple required, so if Sammy does decide to swallow this pill, Apple really is FCKed. However, it won't happen - the money is too good to let go, Apple pays good money.

I know I might have been a bit wrong, but really. The company that's holding you up on your feet, and you're hitting it on the head? (Apple sue Sammy)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
itzik,

I didn't realize Sammi was also making the display. I was talking about the chipsets. If Apple was really worried about it they would of started to produce their own by now. And they just won there lawsuit against Sammi:

http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2012/08/24/jury-reaches-verdict-in-apple-vs-samsung-case/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
I heard Apple won the suit.

A simple fact is that only in the US did Apple win that, which raises the possibility that pure patriotism got into considerations. But Sammy is a monster company and Google's Motorola has some real strong suits against Apple including Apple's star - Siri, which was copied from Moto. On the long run, Google's way will win.

And by the way, Apple doesn't have the tools to even get started on making displays. They are completely dependent on Sammy with current specification.

Personally...

... I would sooner go back to a motorolla RAZR V3 before buying/accepting an iPhone, so they can pull a few hundred off of their "damages" from me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Beastmode:
I heard/read apple is looking at different manufacturers to make their A6 chip for their future phones. So them suing Sammy might be because they are looking to cut all ties and out source elsewhere.

Either way, Android is here to stay.

But are they still custom flashable?

Because it'll be AOSP not Motoblur.

But then again G-Nex does have download mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Motorola up until recently with the Photon Q has locked the boot loaders.

A Nexus flagship phone has to be unlocked so if Moto wants to be part of the group they need to be prepared to unlock the bootloader out of the gate.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dsuycott:
They only won in the US. Samsung is Far too diverse of a company...the apple $ is super nice don't get me wrong but they were a giant before apple and will be more so after. Besides Motorola/Google are reported to be going after apple for knowingly using Moto's wireless connectivity technology(or something like that)without permission or paying royalties and apple refuses to negotiate.... if I understand it correctly All apple devices with wireless connectivity fall under 6 or 7 patent violations...1billion is chump change compared to them apples.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lynkdead:
You won't get the updates directly from Google, but you can get them on the forums here in the form of ROMs.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bradleyw801:
Not exactly. It works like this. When you buy a Nexus device, Google is updating your phone with pure Android as soon as it comes out. After they release the source code for that update, AOSP developers get to work on porting it to non-nexus phones. So, when you see an AOSP rom, it's a rom that is being developed as pure Android. However, AOSP roms that you might find in these forums often times have even cooler options in them than stock Android. Themes are easier to apply, and there are often times features like holding the volume key to track forward, that you don't find on a Google Nexus device.

That being said, AOSP devs have the same problem Samsung has. They have to get the source code after it has already been released to the Nexus device, and then begin work on porting it. So Nexus devices will be well ahead. The AOSP devs always work quicker than the manufacturer, because they aren't trying to do touchwiz in addition, and they care more.

AOSP is a pure Android experience, but it's not a pure Google experience.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] junior2012:
:cowboy:Today, i wonna talk about the feelings about using HTC One X within these three month. Do you guys agree with what i said below these views and Suggestions?

1.HTC One X faults One: poor cooling, heating control is poor.

In a game process, basically 10 minutes can feel HTC One X higher body heat, HTC One X heat dissipation is very poor, CPU heat control is poorer, ARM A9 architecture and four nuclear collocation is very mature. The worse when in the summer, HTC One X of this defect is more outstanding, if you are not in the official website the OTA upgrade or flash, you must endure this faults.

Solution: Suggestions on an official OTA upgrades, you should upgrade to version 1.29 will be improved.

2, HTC One X faults 2: electric consumption too fast, wait for electric time is short.

People who often use 3 g get to the Internet, and background to open some games, HTC One X may power spent only half a day. HTC One X power consumption quickly, stay electric time is short.

HTC One X power consumption problem solution: brush into based on official bag custom ROM, simplify part of the application, do not recommend using a third party theme or desktop starter, suggest to add the weida save electricity patch.

3.HTC One X faults 3: memory card is too small.

Because design reasons, HTC One X used Tegra 3 four nuclear processors, such collocation is some unreasonable. With a period of time you will find that HTC One X will be caton phenomenon, or three application above will also appear such circumstance.

HTC One X memory is too small problem temporarily no better solution.

4, HTC One X faults 4: Sense 4.0

This generation of Sense UI are no longer as fluent stable, because it takes a large amount of memory and the design of some complicated, changed the HTC to mobile phone users in the past operation experience

Sense 4.0 problems solution: through the flash brush into CM9 ROM or MIUI ROM or primary ROM, can substitute for good choice.

5.HTC One X faults five: some details.

HTC One X's camera is prominent, so that the permanent will appear surface wear condition. Video recording although is 1080 p, but is not smooth, at the same time for the volume recording worse. The lack of HDMI interface. These are the details of the defects, One X is a regret.

Do hope these my opinions can give you buddy some help!

How about you guys comment my summary for these shortcomings and suggestions, if you find any other inf about HTC One X, please give me the message.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] SkookDroid:
Im pretty sure your in the wrong forum. This is the htc one xl, you mentioned the tegra 3 so you must have the international ver. But anyway:

1. Every phone gets hot.

2. Battery life has been fine for me, easily lasts a whole day with moderate use.

3. No expandable memory is a problem for many but for people like me, its not needed so if you get past that its all good.

4. Really? I think sense 4.0 is the best yet, most fluent and polished version IMO

5. Camera has been perfect for me but yeah it does protrude a bit.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mediumsteak:
My rogers one x gets hot as balls...which I don't think is healthy for the internal battery. But... at the time of purchase it was also 200$ cheaper than the S3.
