In stock recovery you can not do those wipes and when you perform a factory reset it does wipes cache...

Doing this will allow him to boot into gingerbread with a clean free of issues rom

You don't know what issues does he have.. He's not able to upgrade either by ota ir kies.. So it's better to wipe and start fresh.. He can not wipe in stock 4.0.3 nor 4.0.4...

Before trying to be an smart a$$ analyze the situations...

Thank you msedek for laying it out in a way that is helpful.

Some one mentioned beacking up 'efs'. What does that mean?

Btw, my phone will brick if i do a factory wipe so i am limited in my choice here.

Will have to bite the bullet and try this ODIN method.

Efs is the partition where all the imei/carrier/phone number details are stored.you can take backup with ktool. Download it from playstore. Its free..:D

Where do i get this Odin from? I looked on Google Store and there is one for around £3 or so by Chainfire that specifies rooted phones.

I take it i need to install Odin on the pc and on the phone?

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draketh:
Hello all,

I was looking for input as to which ROMs others have found gave them the best battery life, whether it be from a custom kernel, or battery saving features packed into the ROM itself. I am definitely open to opinions too, doesn't really need to be statistically backed.

Just and F.Y.I, I currently use the last Miui.us official supported ROM for the G2 (Just before v4).. For a long time I've had held to the belief that it offered the best degree of battery life for features provided; a trade off, as one might say. I've tried the older Cyanogenmod (back in 8-9ish lol, actually had worse battery life experience than MIUI) and virtuous (urgh, not too much luck, looked nice, buttery smooth...when it finally loaded..G2 doesn't seem to have enough RAM to have any kind of app running without reloading that pesky Rosie launcher) and a few other less-than-well-known ROMs.

I would also like to add that I have steered clear of ICS ROMs, mainly for the fact I can't seem to find a clear superior version that's stable, that also goes for recent sense ROMs, i.e Sense 4.

Any and all advice/opinions are appreciated

Regards,
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dryize:
MIUI

So far I've had best battery life with MIUI, without any tweaks. I think its beacaue most of other custom roms, specialy ICS and sense 3+ roms are overclocked for better performance. Overclocking=Less Battery Life.

From my experience CM7/9 also have a good battery life. If you want more you can reduce max-cpu-speed and min_cpu_speed for lower values. 245Mhz and 800Mhz. this should do the trick. and use some app like Juice Defender. it helps a bit.

I run one of the older AOKP builds and while off for a few days and very light use, had ~20% at 44 hours. During normal days I run quite heavy with BT and wifi hotspot, I can drain it very very quickly.

Yeah i used elite mod at some point also.. I think I may go back to it now.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aethanol:
I'm getting about 80 hours of light usage (~20 sms and 2 calls, maybe little data, per day) on latest official Miui GB (2.3.23). But with heavy usage (games, wifi, music) i can get it down to 12 hours.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draketh:
That sounds about the same for me on miui...anyone use juice defender or undervolting? I actually still get like 12 hours moderate/heavy usage clocked to 1587mhz smartassv2.

That 512mb ram optimized Sense4 is looking pretty nice right now though..

hey

just flashed my first rom which is cm9 parnonoid android from a pre rooted GB ROM.. however iam trying to install back all my applications.

now i have the free version but i hear its worth to buy the full. now when i go into restore/back up, their is no apps for me to select from restore? very confused. my backup is installed on my sd card. how do i do this?

also do i install missing apps+ data or all apps+ data

cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msedek:
First check the allow install from external sources in the security settings... Then go to tibu settings and search for the backup folder.. There's an option for it..

Then create a filter.. Choose the copied and the uninstalled

Then you can restore..

do note restore is not recommended in first post of cm9, where paranoid android is based on.

Apps only shouldnt be to much of an issue, but apps with data might cause some issues.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandmixed:
hey

i found i found the backup folder but why is their not a simple way to just restore the apps, i still dont know how iam meant to back them all up, this really is confusing. backing them up is so easy.

also iam dead confused now, i thought TB was safe to restore with data as long as you dont restore system data?

how on earth would i get all these apps back with my bookmarks etc?? lol

cheers.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
you can restore, but when issues arise, its most likely because of that, so you know :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandmixed:
Will it be issues with the app etc? Theirs only some apps that have data in them which would be good to keep. I still cannot find how to install my apps' I see nothing in restore in TB? Any help would be great. I thought my backup would just show up. I am running the free version btw

Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
I guess its batch restore, in app list pres menu button, should be there somewhere.

Or select app, then select restore in popup.

Issues could be:

lag

no deepsleep

force closures of apps

random reboots.

You probably wont get them but if you do, its likely because of restore
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandmixed:
I used my backup pro as TB is just so confusing to me. I have apps back with data and all seems fine but I've noticed I cannot see a thing on my external SD card? The folder is empty for some odd reason. Now it manages to locate the folder in TB although I didn't use it to restore ' my sd card seems blank but it cant be as I never formatted a thing. Any idea??

All I did was flash rooted gb rom from stock ics and then installed cm9 rom and external SD is not

It would be nice if a guide could be made for the use of this kernel for noobs and newcomers.

This kernel is MUCH superior to any of the other present kernels available.

Fire is a useful tool and can cook you some of the best hot meals but it must be handled with care.

I wonder if further development is possible for this.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chasmodo:
Really? I hear that NoteCore is much superior for TW Roms.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baz77:
You know its close to stock, that doesn't make it superior, just different. The extras rock, cwm, bb etc. I like his kernels.

Also, as far as I know none of the cf kernels have the emmc erase command blocked, so I would say No its not safe, so dont wipe. This is also unlikely to ever be safe because most need source to block that command. Cf publishes before source available.

edit, gave cf more deserved tribute
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antique_sonic:
Not advisable in my opinion.

Better use notecore / speedmod when you want to do wipes.

Thanks to Simms22 for this easy fix...

Was having battery issues where my battery would be "charging" without being plugged in....right at 14% the stupid low battery screen popped up every 2 seconds. Tried everything software wise and couldn't fix it. I was confused. The USB prong seemed like it wasn't touching the housing but Simms22 clearly pointed out the obvious and said it could still be touching. Low and behold I tore my phone apart, cleaned the USB and stuck a razorblade under the prong, pryed it up ever so slightly and wouldn't you know, fixed (for now). Morel to the story, try this fix before anything else. :)

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isoDUB:
I just got an Xperia Play (Verizon) and to my surprise it was rooted already.

Gingerbread 2.3.2

Baseband: 7X30A-AAABQMAZM-1290_10-01

Kernel: 2.6.21.9-perf

Build Number: 3.0.E.2.89

Should I get a Gingerbread rom? ICS rom? Leave it on stock? I plan to use this phone for gaming, music, and web browsing (and using the former more than the latter), so I'm looking for the solution with the best gaming performance. Not going to be used as a phone at all. Also, is 7-8gb enough for games? I have about 22gb of music than I want to put on the Play once I get around to getting a 32gb micro sd card.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DubleJayJ:
Unlock your phone. It costs $25 but so worth it. I unlocked mine a couple days ago.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isoDUB:
What do you mean by unlock? Like unlock to use for other carriers? I'm not using it as a phone cause I don't need to. I only bought it for gaming, since I'm selling my Droid X to a friend.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
no you need to unlock the bootloader to flash custom kernels which are needed for custom ROMs
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isoDUB:
Oh really? You have anywhere I can read up on this stuff? And how can I check if it's unlocked?

How viable do you think stock is just for gaming and music?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
please use search :)

stock based roms are the best for gaming you can flash roms like true ancestor and Gin2JellyBean Without a unlocked bootloader as they can use stock kernel
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] isoDUB:
Sorry about not using search.

Basically, what you're saying is stock based roms like the ones you listed will be able to be flashed by CWM or whatever method the R800x uses, and other roms like CM9 will brick me right?

I'll try reading through the stickies or other topics right now.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
yes essentially but it won't brick it as you can use flashtool to flash it back.

Alright thanks a lot. Gonna do some more research. Is it just me or is it hard to find an R800x rom? Only definite ones I've found are Cola and GBTweaked. I like Xperia NXT and Gin2JellyBean but I can't tell if they are R800x compatible.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paxChristos:
They're not any harder to make than a GSM ROM, its just our user base is smaller, (and also, on average, from who I've communicated with, the more active R800x users tend to be older, so less time to spend working on ROMs) leading to less ROMs :P

Why are you trying to install a GSM ROM!??!? It won't work on the R800x unless you like a black homes screen, soft key not working, video recording, pictures, etc. You need a CDMA rom which is practically the stock rom debloated. Apparently there is no custom roms for the CDMA xperia play other than cyanogenmod or fxp. Make sure you know how to use flashtool to revert your xperia play back to stock and fully functional again.

I was messing around with a few things in settings and such, but can't seem to figure out what I did (or undid).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] majingrim:
CM10 still uses the CM9 boot animation right now, so it must be CM10 you flashed. I did the same thing without reading the thread first, and lost my audio. I dirty flashed 8-24 over it and got my audio back. I think one user said it didn't work for him, but it may help your issue. I'm no expert, but looking at tonight's changelog, it looks like there's a bunch of audio related fixes in the works, so hopefully we'll be back in business tomorrow.

As someone else said, check this thread, and your best bet is to give it a couple hours after the new build is available and check there to make sure there are no major issues. Hope this helps :)
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossbeck:
Hi guys... I recently inherited my Atrix 4G... loving it so far but I am really struggling with the bluetooth in this thing. My last 2-3 phones have instantly connected with my Honda Civic but the Atrix seems to take 30-60 seconds. Kind of annoying. I know it's being nit-picky but I was just curious if anyone knows of a way to perhaps speed up the bluetooth connection time or maybe the polling interval?

I'm currently running Jellybean but have also tried the stock GB rom and other custom GB roms. All seem to take a while to connect or warrant reboot before my car can see it.

Thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickwood:
Interesting. When I had my Atrix it hooked up to my car instantly. I recently switched to a Galaxy S III, and it takes around 45 seconds to connect. I had just assumed it was a difference with Android 4. But if you're seeing it even with Gingerbread, perhaps there's something else going on. Can anyone shed some light on what might cause a delay in connecting via bluetooth?

Mine does not pair with my Citroen C4. My wife owns a Samsung phone that pairs automatically. Could anyone help?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rossbeck:
It does seem to be faster/more stable with Gingerbread.... probably because there is no official 4.xx build for the Atrix yet so it's just using "borrowed" drivers (just a guess.) I'm crossing my fingers that once the official ICS build drops from Motorola that these ICS/JB ROMs will get some proper drivers!

I may just go back to GB for now; wonky bluetooth is kind of a dealbreaker for me.

Any suggestions on the "best of the best" GB ROMs? Might give Nutrino a shot.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] camattin:
In both our vehicles (wife's Explorer, my F-150), we get random behavior. She has a stock HTC. I have the Atrix (CM7). When her phone is far, far away (e.g. she's at work), mine will connect everytime - but sometimes it connects in 10 seconds, sometimes I'm a mile down the road before it connections. It's very random.

If she's in the truck with me, about 90% of the time, it connects to mine (mine is defined as the 'primary' phone), but that other 10% of the time, it'll connect to her's.

I can't speak as to how long her's takes to connect when she's alone in her car, but when we're both in there, her's connects the vast majority of the time (95%+), but occasionally, mine will connect first.

I've juts chalked it up to BT weirdness. And I still wish CM7 would get decent bluetooth that would permit SMS over BT. Guess I'll keep dreaming for months to come. :)
