Hello all, MiniCM7 has pre installed ADW launcher but, should i install launcher pro instead?In the sticky thread All question asked it says that launcher pro is one of the more smooth and fastest launchers for our device.If that is true then why is minicm7 pre installed with ADW? what would you recomend?I am on nAa latest kernel and latest miniCM 7.Thanks all.
[XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chris95X8:
LauncherPro is the fastest launcher I've ever tried, together with Xperia S launcher.

ADW launcher is the official launcher of Cyanogen Mod. That's why it comes pre-installed with MiniCM.

Hey All,

It is almost 10 months I am using this LG-P970 phone, but until now I've seen nothing but a headache, does anyone else agree?

My main problem (besides the bad performance) is the incident of losing my contacts.

It has happened to me 4 times until now under Froyo, Gingerbread and even Zeus 7 (the most recent incident 2 days ago).

Simply it happens when I open the contacts list, I see that all my contacts are erased in addition to the call log, and I am very aware it is not a matter of contacts display setting as some people might suggest.

The first time this happened to me my contacts were not even synced with Google because I didn't know the contact type should be "Google Contact" in order for it to be synced, and every time I want to create a new contact I have to change its contact type before saving it (I know how to convert existing contacts but please tell me if there is another method to automate the process for new contacts).

I don't know what you think of this phone, but I am pretty sure that my new mobile phone won't be related to the LG family.

Cheers all!

All of the described below seems more than an user problem than your phone, btw, I never lose contacts or data
[LG Optimus Black] yaz87:
You seem to have a good control of your P970, can you expert explain to us how data loss can be a user problem?
[LG Optimus Black] WIIstpM:
Well the best solution is to NOT sync your contacts with Google.

It can either delete new contacts when you restore, or it restores deleted contacts, personally it's crap lol.

Just save them all on your SIM!!! If ever you lose Sim contacts like that. then it's your SIM which is damaged.

I NEVER experienced such problem.

And just to say, Optimus Black is not a crappy phone at all! Mind the way you define it.... Not because you are having contacts problems that it's a crappy phone... It may be an app causing this problem, your SIM card which is damaged, or whatever else.
[LG Optimus Black] Sisqo:
Yes it's a user problem, we don't know what are your settings after a full wipe and whatever you do wrong or what applications you install that wipes the contact list.

From the first android phone that i had years ago, g1, copied the sim numbers to phone and after adding the google account, google synced it automaticaly and saved all my contacts to google account.

Since then i've added/deleted several contacts, changed several phones (at least 10 with android), and every time i added in the google account to it the contacts where synced.

I think i flashed over 100 different roms, never bricked a phone, even though i used several methods to root and flash recovery, hardest method was on g1 and i think it was the most inteligent one, if any of you had one:)

Now i'm on zeus 7, so it must be your fault:)
[LG Optimus Black] achyut:
no need of google syncing or SIM backup.

contacts -> import/export ->export to sd card. ;)

now u have a vcf@memory card. just back it up on your computer or online storage and restore as many times u want. no tension.

in case of newer saves, just delete the old vcf and redo the process or just save normally. (the vcf's will be named progressively, 000,001,002...)

hope i helped.

regards,

achyut. :)

[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
The contacts should be stored on your google acc.

[LG Optimus Black] ErnuB:
No need for sarcasm, I just don't find that annoying chosing google when creating a contact, a small fee for the great service i get in return
[LG Optimus Black] yaz87:
Thank you all for your participation :).

Maybe "crappy" is not the right word to describe a P970 here as I have seen it has many fans (I did not mean to be offensive), and maybe you have a point if you never had any bad experiences with your devices, but what happened with me was annoying!

I would like to assume that I did something wrong with the phone the first three times I lost my contacts (it also happened when it was brand new - no flashes done or ROMs installed), but do you think the following is too wrong?

1. installed a clean Zeus 7 after multiple wipes/restore factory settings and cache wipes (using cwm in a patched V20B software version)

2. the ONLY apps that I installed were :whatsapp, viber, facebook, google translate, french language pack for the keyboard, and google maps

3. randomly I unlocked the phone once to see that my contacts were lost

As simple as that.
[LG Optimus Black] yomek88:
My OB sometimes clean my sms box... but i think it's related to OC and UV... when i set for example: OC@1200 and UV@-7, after some time my smss are gone, and it's almost as plain as the nose on your face (in my case).

I use titanium backup to save them and restore after loosing them, but after seting my cpu to stable config, sms are where they should be.
[LG Optimus Black] Pollie81:
i've had a small problem with the p970 but that was a google problem.

i had my contacts stored on my google account, but wenever i made a new contact it wasn't stored in google.. so when i flashed a new rom the latest additions to my contacts were gone.

but as most of the people allready said, do not sync your contacts but export them to your sd card. works flawless..

but i never experienced the problems you have, performance is realy good with the great custom roms we have here at xda.

i have my p970 for 6 months or so and i'm very happy with it.
[LG Optimus Black] RomWiz:
You need to sync your contacts to.

Not just save the on your phone.

When we save a contact name with 2 mobile nos. (mobile contact and home contact).

When trying to save to SIM those contact.....saving is done only mobile contact.....the remaining is not saving...any solution..

I know about saving in vcf file...But I just want to know saving in SIM multiple nos with a single contact like vcf file..
[LG Optimus Black] yaz87:
S

SIM cards have relatively limited storage capabilities. They can store a contact and a number in each memory slot (I don't know if there is another piece of information that can be stored) but definitely it can't store two numbers for the same contact name that's why you see "X (home)" and "X(mobile)" for example as two separate entities.
[LG Optimus Black] nikosk81:
I have the same problems with op - it has erased my contacts randomly 3-4 times in my 16 months of using it. Unrooted - official roms (2.2 and 2.3, various firmwares).

And a couple times sd card was 'destroyed' - losing everything stored there. Of course after reformatting sd card was fine....

I understand it is not a common issue - else more noise would be made around this issue, but something must be wrong with some batches.

A real disappointiment this phone.
[LG Optimus Black] pabgar:
It is simply not possible. The form of storing contacts data on SIM is rather ancient but it is industrial standard.
[LG Optimus Black] chuayx1:
All I can say is the hardware is not at fault for the problems OP has listed in his post, it's a software thing.

Let's say it is possible to switch to a non-Google ROM. say Windows Phone 8 which doesn't sync with Google for its contact, the contacts will likely stay intact.

edit - Of course before anyone start jumping over Windows Phone 8 on our phones, no it's not happening and I'm using an easier example of switching OS to demonstrate that the hardware has nothing to do with software issues.

[Nexus S General] samuelrp1998:
I have a non rooted nexus s 4g. I am looking to change the boot animation. I have an animation ready to use. I also have the android sdk on Mac and windows. I have read that it is hard to change the boot animation of Samsung phones. But would it be any different because it is also a Google device? I can not root my phone. Any ideas? I'm sure some dev here knows or can figure something out to change the boot animation. My nexus is fully updated with ics and stock everything. I have seen boot animation changer on the play store but it requires root, just my luck. If anybody has even an idea feel free to post it. Anything helps. Thank you in advance :)
[Nexus S General] TG2708:
I don't think it possible to change the boot animation without root access because that's a restricted area of area of system that only deep level root can access.
[Nexus S General] samuelrp1998:
Ok thank you... I'm still convinced that you can. Maybe create an app that tells the phone to use a boot animation on the SD card before it uses the original one???
[Nexus S General] DarkhShadow:
Nope, at the point the boot animation happens 3rd party apps aren't booted.

Only way to do it is custom recovery(unlocked bootloader) or root access

Sent from my ice cream powered Nexus S
[Nexus S General] polobunny:
Try putting your bootanimation.zip in /data/local instead of /system/media.
[Nexus S General] TG2708:
He could try but I doubt it will work because you have to change the permissions of the zip for it to work and its only through root access that can be done.
[Nexus S General] samuelrp1998:
I have a rooted HP touchpad that I could change the permissions on? Would the permissions stick? And even then data/local is on internal memory... so how would I write to that without root?
[Nexus S General] niteh@wk:
like everyone said, not possible without root. if you have root, easiest would be installing Rom Toolbox and use it to install the bootanimation.zip to /system/media or /data/local. Or after copying it to one of those directories (/data/local recommended), in a terminal run these commands:

su

chmod 0755 /data/local/bootanimation.zip
[Nexus S General] samuelrp1998:
How would I write to system/media or data/local without root? Can it be done?
[Nexus S General] altspeed:
It just can't. You either have to do it yourself rooted or have root so you can grant su to an app that does it for you. It's super easy, a cut/paste and a rename, but you gotta have root.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joe H.:
So, I'm pretty new to flashing roms, and unlocking bootloaders, and all this stuff. I got my first android phone a little over a year ago. And after about a year of reading xda, and other android blogs I finally felt comfortable enough to start flashing different roms.

But one thing I've been wondering is what's the difference between ClockworkMod Recovery and TWRP? And is there's any reasons one is better than the other? On my Atrix I've been using ClockworkMod, but on my Kindle Fire I put TWRP.

And one other question I have is, what is a nandroid backup? Is it any different from a standard backup on Clockwork Mod or TWRP?

:confused: Thank You
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravilov:
Mostly just personal preference. Some people prefer the robustness CWM while others like the touch interface of TWRP. Sometimes it is necessary to install a certain ROM/mod/whatever through a certain recovery (which is then mentioned in the install instructions), but other than that either is good.

Both of those recoveries (and any other recoveries I've ever heard of) produce nandroid backups.
