[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjr162:
Hello,

My son loves playing on my phone as well as my wife's. Issue is he's two and a half years old....

Needless to say you'll find new apps installed via ads in games, random messages sent to people, things moved and or deleted. We've since put locks on our phones but that's not really a solution as then you need to unlock it for him and he still has full access to everything (last time my wife found out she had 20 new friend requests on Facebook lol)

My question is.. is there eight a good home launcher that you can make a second user with limited app access (only ones you selected to allow) or a ROM with a similar feature built in that works with galaxy s devices (mines a gt-i9000t and hers is a vzw fascinate)

Or, any other app suggestions that default to a kid mode unless you unlock/exit the app to get full access to the device?

Mine is currently running aokp, hers is on the stock vzw firmware but I have no problem doing a rom and/or rooting if required.

Thanks!

Set up a second launcher just for him and put the apps he can use on the desktop and delete the shortcut for the app drawer

You can also set up a pin to download from the play store now i think.

Hi mate,

If you have an sdcard in your phone you can use:

This tool will mount your SDCard in finder from there you can transfer the files (then move from sd to device on the device if necessary)

Hope this helps

Hi All,

I just brought this phone.. i am not new to the android and flashing the ROMs, kernels and other stuff but i am new to the HTC previously i had Galaxy 3..

Please tell me if there are stock/official ROM's available of this phone..?

and how to install them..need step by step guide..

and also what are the risk that phone can be HARD BRICK..? and what should be avoid so phone cant be HARD BRICK..?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muikkuman:
Hard brick only occurs when fail to flash radios or flash the wrong HBOOT. And try this RUU its the latest official:

Has anyone figured a way to get flash to run on hero cdma armv6 running custom ics rom?
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shelnutt2:
No and it's not likely. Flash is proprietary and closed source. They never released an armv6 variant. The only hope would be if lightspark of gnash came to android. However performance would be below par. There is the "flash-lite" that htc used in sense roms but it's tight to closely with the sense framework.

Ok, i understand that ICS is just not good for gaming. I have a R800ì root LOCKED BOOTLOADER. Can i still do some flashinf roms, etc etc? I'm new in these things, but i think it's time for me to begin. If i want to keep my bootloader blocked, what can i flash? Is it possible to flash Xperia NXT 1.2 rom, DIxperia 2 rom, TrueAncestor rom, etc etc?

And most important. BEFORE i do anything, is there a way to back up everything EXACTLY as it was, so i can go back to my stock 2.3.4? Thank u for your time guys:good:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drivenby:
Hi, assuming you are rooted, yes you can install some rom that are compatible with locked loaders. The ones you mentioned are all compatible, provided you flash the specific fw that's indicated in each of those rom

You can do a nandroid backup to backup your current rom exactly like it is right now, with cwm. Just download x parts from the market
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dany XP:
Thank you, exactly what i needed to hear. Another queations though. Since it 's my understanding that for those roms i also need to change differents firmware (i have stock. 42 now), i would like to know if a nandroid backup include my original firmware (.42).

Ansother thing: with a locked bootloader what i cannot do? Change kernels?

[Acer Iconia A500] Vuciz:
Hello. I have an Acer Iconia Tab A200, and recently I tried a factory reset. However, due to my meddling with system files, it won't reset.

I've tried to do a hard reset (Power on, Volume+, Orientation lock switch) but it says the following:

Erasing Userdata...

Erasing Cache...

It then reboots, and does nothing. It hangs on the Acer logo.

When trying to go into recovery (Power On, Volume-), it says the following:

Erasing Cache before SD update...

SD update cmd: recovery

--update_package=SDCARD:update.zip

Booting recovery kernel image

Recovery verified fail ...

Now, I mentioned that I meddled with the System Files. Here is what I did:

1. Removed unwanted Vendor Apps

2. Removed the DEFAULT LAUNCHER <-- I think this plays a big part in this

3. Placed a CUSTOM LAUNCHER in the VENDOR APPS FILE

4. Did a FACTORY RESET

My brother is more techy than me, so he tried to fix it. However, he somehow re-locked the bootloader and even replaced the bootloader with a newer version.

I talked to Acer Support claiming it's system files corrupted itself, but they won't fix it unless I also pay to fix my cracked screen. I'm willing to do so, but hey, I'd like to see if I could save $120. I don't mind the cracked screen.

NOTES:

The Acer Iconia Tab A200, along with their other tablets, has a USB port. I can probably load stuff from there somehow, but not sure.

It is a 16GB model with a 32GB Class 10 MicroSD card in it.

Any ideas? All help is appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A500] Moscow Desire:
Do you have access to any a200 Update roms? Sometimes, you can pull the update.zip from the rom, place it on your ext sd card, reboot holding Vol+ and PWR, and it might install.

I have searched for some A200 ROMs, but can't find any that work using that method. I'm open for ANY Acer A200 official ROM, then simply updating using OTA.

[Acer Iconia A500] Nickbert:
Stockimage flashable while having bricked /DATA Partition

Hi Vuciz,

do you still have the issue with your bricked A200 ?

I got the same problem with mine, the only solution was to send it to repair, it seems the storage controller chip has some bug which destroyed the /DATA partition unrecoverable.

if you need to revert your Tablet to an locked bootloader you have to download an StockRom and modify it by removing the partition check (called "assert") in the update script.

please send me an message if you need further assistance.

regards and good luck with your tab.
[Acer Iconia A500] Vuciz:
Yes I do. However the screen is also cracked so they want me to pay for that. Which I'm unable to do at this time.
[Acer Iconia A500] twanhines:
anything I do, fails

I also have this tablet. I bought it for 20 bucks because the screen was cracked. replaced the screen and then found out that the bootloader was trashed. I've done almost everything I can think of to fix it. Used APX mode to get UID from ubuntu, tried to use that UID to get sbk, got the SBK and then tried using blackthunder's tool got connection failure, tried using babsector same thing, even went in ubuntu, with tablet in manual apx mode for all three and when I attempt to reflash the bootloader, all I get is that command failure message with a nvflash connection failed nv error 0x30011 message and when that happens in windows, the tablet disappears from device manager, and in ubuntu when I run nvflash with the sbk function --sbk XXXX and so on, I get the command sent failure message, and then when i rerun lsusb, the nvidia device that represents my tablet in apx mode that showed before is no longer listed unless i reboot the tablet in apx mode again. If i boot it normally, the acer logo appears and then goes to the little animation and then the iconia tab screen and thats it. I've tried attempting to flash the bootloader from that screen which i know probably wasn't going to work anyways. If anyone has any advice on something I've missed, or anything that could help, i'll all eyes. thanks in advance.

So i just rooted my phone and now i can't update it anymore...

idk how to unroot it, if that's possible.

Otherwise if possible could i dual boot?

have one of my roms stock and than partition another side for testing out new roms that get released, is that possible or worth it?

Plus there's a lot of terminology i'm not familiar with, kernel, aokp, etc, if you can guide me to that.

I figured how to flash nokia phones, ended up doing it daily....and now i've moved on to here and i believe ill eventually get it.

I wanna update from kies now, i just wanna make sure i dont loose everything, idc if i loose my root, i can re do it.

[Nexus 7 General] Jasonator:
I completely tore it down. Down to the bezel. When taking the bezel off be very careful not to scratch the black on the glass itself. Once there I removed the thin double sided tape, cleaned it up nicely and bought and used 5 minute epoxy. I used a small paintbrush and applied the epoxy to the plastic bezel carefully not getting it in the screw holes. I then put the glass back on the bezel using clothes pins to clamp for an hour. This was perfect. I had a little goop out the side and while it was still in a waxy state prior to completely curing, I scaped the excess off with ease. This produced a perfectly adhered screen to bezel. I can say with confidence, it is the double sided tape allowing the screen to lift off the silver plastic bezel. The length of my screws had nothing to do with anything on my tablet. I reassembled everything only to knick my display wire, rendering all of work pointless. Anyway, took it back to Staples and they handed me a new one no questions asked. Ironically this one appears to be a perfect build. I feel as though if I leave it in the car for even a minute in the heat, the same thing will happen. The adhesive on the double sided tape is weak. It pulled apart with ease and once it heats up, its going to weaken and pull apart. Thanks for reading.
[Nexus 7 General] Mungulz:
Yep.. My screen lift has gotten a lot worse too..

I tried to take off the cover just now, got 3/4 corners, then heard the familiar sound of tape separating from a surface, and saw the screen flexing up. With basically no force put on the unit at all...

I didn't feel like continuing after seeing that so just clipped my cover back down.. Build quality isn't great.

I'll definitely be RMAing if any developments are made in the construction of the N7, or if a new IPS screen is chosen, I'm not a fan of the color reproduction, looks like crap TBH.
[Nexus 7 General] demandarin:
Before people start flaming you, Op, next time dont admit you broke tablet yourself and took it back for exchange. thats a form of fraud. since you publically admitted you severed the display cable. just a f.y.i.

You not the first to have done this. ;) just letting you know.
[Nexus 7 General] Mungulz:
Yeah but he broke it because he was trying to fix it so he wouldn't have to RMA.

I think that contributing your own time, resources and effort before *****ing to Google about 1mm of screen lift is a really good attitude to the problem.

Sure he messed it up, but there was just as good of a chance he was going to save Google money by attempting the fix himself.

In this situation, I think OP did the right thing.
[Nexus 7 General] pxlitup:
He broke an already defective unit in the name of science. The gods are on his side.

Hm. *****ing?

Fixing your own stuff may be noble and clever, but it shouldn't be necessary to look down on those who aren't so mechanically inclined to feel good about it.

He returned it to Staples. The manufacturer, ASUS, is the only one taking a loss. And their refurbishment department is getting an epoxied unit.

It would be the same if he bought it from the Play store, although Google may bear the shipping costs of its generous exchange policy.

Yes. Thank you for your work on this, OP.
