[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] testcenter:
its not possible to send an apk by default. (you are just able to send the play link)

you can send an installed apk per bluetooth going through the folowing steps:

get the apk file of your desired app (if installed, find in /data/app/<pkg>.apk (internal) or /mnt/asec/<pkg>/pkg.apk (external)) and copy it on your sdcard.

download the app "bluetooth file transfer" (from medieval software).

with this app you can send the just copied apk file from your sdcard.

sry forgot to say, you need root for this method + it only works for user apps (system apps: /system/app)

for user apps without root use this method:

get astro file manager (from metago).

switch right, click application Manager

select the desired app and hit backup (on the top)

the apk (backup) will be created in the folder /sdcard/Folder/<pkg>.apk

Simplest solution seems to be to '.zip' the file up with your choice of file manager / compression app (I use ES file explorer) and send that via Bluetooth.

RE

Work-arounds and third-party apps are great and all,

but isn't there a way to over-ride how the system restricts APKs somehow?

I know I've seen one ROM (Jelly Belly) that has this "fixed",

but any chance something could be done without flashing...?

Also-- I still wonder about what the OP asked....

Why can't the N7 do this in the first place?

Any clues as to where the source of this is exactly?

Try this one

su

mkdir /data/system/theme

chmod 777 /data/system/theme

cd /system/etc/init.d

I think that's what I had done for my gf phone to get themes working. I don't own a skyrocket myself.

That should create the proper theme folder needed and set the proper permissions for it to work.

Oh also the reason you do not see the folder system under data is due to the file explorer you are using either does not have root permissions or does not support viewing the files. ES File Explorer needs settings change to view root folders before you are able to see it. Well long story short just use those commands in a Terminal Emulator app and you should be good.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saulob:
I rooted my KF. Already removed all the Amazon stuff and went to ICS, now I'm with a JB rom, but there's a lot of problems, one of them it's the charging (It's not easy to charge), requires some tricks.

I bought this KF to give to my girlfriend on her birthday. It will be not mine.

So, I'm thinking, should I use Cyanogenmod 7 and stays on 2.3.7 or should I give to her on JB? If I install 2.3.7 what will I lose? I mean on functions?

Thanks
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4trykx:
You can dual boot kindle. I think the only way to watch Prime Videos is to use stock rom. So you can have stock as alternative and some other ROM as basic.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jared631:
If it isn't yours, you should've left it alone but, we've already come this far, so let's make the most of it. In my opinion, I'd use JB, only because of the features you get (And the bragging power.) As far as I know, the charging problem is universal on all the ROMS (Somebody correct me if there is one I havn't tried yet.) The feature you lose from not having stock are; No access to the Prime Videos, or download the videos from the device you bought on the stock ROM. (Pisses me off, I bought like 5 movies and can't even get 'em on) 2. You can't use the Kindle Lending Library. 3. You are gonna have a less stable OS, to begin with. But, there are some advantages, having google frameworks, and maps api, nativly in your OS. The ability to Overclock, within the OS settings. The developing tools, the list just goes on. (CM in general.) If I were you, I'd use CM9 or CM10. If your GF won't need some of the advance feature, then I'd use stock. If she just would want it to read or watch videos, I'd use Stock. It all depends on her needs/wants in the end.

EDIT:

I wouldn't suggest using the Dual-Booting bootloader, it's pretty complex. Also, only some ROMS can be used with it (If I remember correctly).
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saulob:
Thank you for the opinions guys. I will stick with the JB, the only problem I see right now it's the charging one. Hope there's a fix soon.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p4trykx:
Yes.

If you want a stock rom I use Gr9. It's basically stock firmware with Google Play installed. It's also rooted so to watch Prime Video you have to install OTA Root Keeper and temporary unroot it.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skorzo:
Hi there,

I have a Galaxy ACE with Stock KTM Rom , CWM5 , and rooted with CFRoot b83 (b84+b84fix does not work on my KTM rom...dont know why)

I partitioned my 4Gb SD with CWM: 512 for Ext , 0 for Swap and rest for Fat32

I have even tried to format with Mini Partition Tool: Fat32 Primary and EXT2 or EXT3 Primary (4kb cluster size)

I can mount /sd-ext on recovery , even format it, etc.

But.. I have many problems with **2SD scripts, and I think that I found the reason: SD-Ext is not mounted.

I have installed Terminal Emulator, and I get this:

# mount | grep sd-ext -> nothing happens (it should show information)

# df -> /sd-ext is not shown

What can I do??

I know that Link2sd app works with Fat32 + Fat32 partitioned cards, but I need sd-ext to work , so Link2Sd is not a solution for me.

THANKS A LOT!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryuinferno:
You should repartition your sd-ext with cwm...it will auto partition it into ext4...dta2sd works with that...since you are using cf-root...your have a tweaks manager right?try to enable auto start dta2sd at boot...for a sd card, the one for general storage should b in FAT32, sd-ext should be in ext4 (although certaim scripts can work with other formats, but this is working better and faster, so why not?)...Hope it helps...:)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skorzo:
I have tried to make the repartition with CWM , into EXT4, and I have enabled auto start dta2sd at boot ...

[Motorola Photon 4G] niphoet:
A few days ago I found out that T-Mobile's 3g won't work on the Photon (only their Edge service) after I'd already ordered 2 T-Mobile pre-paid SIMs. Yesterday I received my T-Mobile pre-paid SIM cards, and sure enough, it's like being back on dial-up.

When I go to StraightTalk's website to order a SIM card and put in my zip code, it tells me that it will send me an AT&T compatible SIM card. Here's my question: Since AT&T is also GSM, will I still be stuck with 2g speeds or will I be able to get 3g? I know that both AT&T and T-Mobile have good service where I live. (Sorry if this seems like a stupid question, but I've been on CDMA for almost a decade).

Thanks in advance!

[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
tmobile is unique in that they use 1700mhz for 3G (which isnt used by any other US carrier). The photon is a quad band (not penta band) phone and doesnt pick up 1700mhz frequency. Tmobile is making a transition to put 3G on 1900mhz so that it is more iphone friendly. Some locations in the US have already made that transition.

This should mean that the update is coming soon.

Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) has been out for almost a month on this device, it was released August 1st, and pretty much everyone I know with a Rezound has gotten it already, worked the kinks out, and is generally satisfied with it... if you are stock, have you done a check for updates recently?

[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Ok dudes!

What is your favorite rom based on 4.0.4?

And why?
[HTC One X] *elmo*:
ARHD 9.3.2 - Very fast, clean & stable!
[HTC One X] stuart0001:
Stock

I perceive no significant speed or battery improvements with custom roms and stock is rock solid with none of the glitches I see posted in the threads

Many of them offer extra features but in some instances its at the cost of stability or speed.

I think HTC should be commended for providing a stock experience as good as this. Previously they've left a lot for chefs to improve upon but not this time imo.
[HTC One X] _deleted_:
ViperX by Team Venom

Rock solid sense rom (can be desensed if desired), endless amount of tweaks and mods you can utilize for personalizing the look of your device, plus the fact OTAs can be pushed directly from Team Venom, straight to your device and the fact you can design your own themes, boot animations, down animations etc etc.

It's a rock solid stock rom, with ways to personalize... perfect to me :)
[HTC One X] vegetaleb:
Yeah I use Venom rom for nearly 2 months now thanks to the tweaks, tough I keep having network problems,wana try another rom to see if it will be corrected or not
[HTC One X] dodjavola:
I'm very interested in this topic. I'm still on stock, can't decide which ROM to flash, that is worth breaking my 2 year warranty.

So pls, if others can share their experience here :)

Talking about performance and battery life, is it worth flashing custom ROM (ARHD, ViperX, or CleanROM, all with sense), compared to stock 4.0.4? Can you notice big difference?

Thanks in advance :)
[HTC One X] PhoenixFx:
I’m on Viper X, the most customizable Sense ROM.

No, In terms of pure performance and battery life, the difference is not worth loosing warranty. The main reason why I switched was because I couldn't stand that dreadful 3 dot menu bar (this was before official 4.0.4 came out). And I also wanted to try out Jellybean (CM10). But now I'm back on Viper (Sense ROM) because CM10 battery life was bad and the camera performance was terrible.
[HTC One X] xSilv85:
If you dont need customization maybe consider InsertCoin. Also fast and stable :)
[HTC One X] PAGOT:
Also stock. Till HTC does updates, nothing else.

Well customized stock on my part. With stuffs, mods, optimizations, custom kernel.

I prefer it that way as to get some ALL IN ONE package where I do not need half of the stuff or where I have to depend on someone else to give me support.

Maybe the most custom I would go is getting deodexed as its easier for the mods. But now kinda happy with the odex as well.

After the support of HTC stops on this phone and I will still have it. CM that will be :)

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:53 AM ----------

Also OP what about posting a poll as well ? options , stock, stock and root and mods, deodexed stock, odexed stock, with root, and the different roms and etc. Shouldn't be so hard to list all possibilities :)

[HTC One X] TheJoker79:
I'm running ARHD 9.7.0. atm, no problems whatsoever. Its a fast, reliable rom with some great tweaks. Batterylife seems a bit better then stock, but then again that just might be my imagination :)

Havent tried any other rom yet but I'm curious about MIUI, i have used MIUI on my old Desire for over a year and was very satisfied then.

Any opinions about MIUI on a HOX?
[HTC One X] reddevilbg:
Tried ARHD 9.7 for a week, didn't saw improvements from the stock rom. Neither battery or something else. In fact got issues with some apps and moved to ViperX rom. Good, stable, lots of tweaks, customizations and very important - OTA updates.
[HTC One X] Vcek:
I tryed both ARHD and ViperX on faux 10u kernel, and had to say almost no difference in stability and performance(although ARHD seemed to be a bit more fast in HD gaming). But i prefer ViperX only because of the endless amount of tweaks esp. the 3-finger gestures customization and the OTA viper updates.
[HTC One X] randyok@:
Well. My favorite Rom is Android Revolution HD. Now I'm using Coredroid to test.
[HTC One X] Gammarax:
Used to go with ARHD 9.x but couldn't really see any improvements compared to stock.

Now when I feel like using ICS 4.0.4 with Sense 4.1, I go with Ordroid. Definitely rock stable, smooth, and has one of the best battery life I've had (more than I really need).

About 2 days worth of battery (light-medium use such as messaging, whatsapp, browsing on 3g/wifi) with about 2 hrs screen on time. No games though.

Btw, I use stock kernel whenever I go with ICS/Sense. Hope this helps someone out. :good:

I see a few people asking about this and I found this app that works on my HTC One X.

Screen Filter:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.haxor&hl=en

If you just want to switch the lights off, set the filter to 100% then un-tick the enable softkey back light. It works great when watching videos or using it as a nightstand clock.

Hope their wasn't a thread about his. I did a few searches and couldn't find anything, hope this helps a few people.

Does it save the preference after reboot? I use Adjbrightness and after rebooting I have to load the app up again.
[HTC One X] Roars21:
I will have a look but I think you have to reopen it.
[HTC One X] Roars21:
I had a test now and it doesn't start on boot. But when you start the app after a boot it then knows what your last settings were. Hope that helps.

[HTC One X] jimmy2027:
I am kinda worried about this happening on my HOX...the fist step is already too much trouble to go through.
[HTC One X] Roars21:
Don't worry if you hold down the power button for a couple seconds it simulates a battery pull. Then when you start up, provided you don't have it on a autostart app you can then go in and change the settings. Also if you do set the brightness too low it gives you 10 seconds to approve it or it will just revert your settings. If that makes sense.
