No no, its ok, the the longer it got the less attention I paid, I still have some stuff I've been meaning to add but it's already really long and I just don't feel like making it longer. Plus those first days when I was updating like crazy all the reading and writing was screwing with my head and I couldn't understand half the posts I was offering help on lmao

Someone noted the unintended side effect of modifying your splash when you restore, no HTC Dev message after restore
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
What does this mean?

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Someone who used it claimed it restored the splash to before you unlock
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] regaw_leinad:
Well, that shouldn't be the case because that development disclaimer is controlled by hboot, not anything else.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I know, they claimed it regardless. I considered that maybe hboot is copied and restored but the phone maintains unlock and it's a locked partition. If I had a phone that wasn't tampered I'd try it, it's very curious. That's why I mentioned it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
I'm going to try it, then root and unlock bootloader then nandroid backup then restore using this. I will post my results whenever I get a chance to do all of this. I only have 1 computer and its my wife's for college and I have to do it when she's not home. She thinks I'm installing viruses on her laptop...:banghead:

I was taking about the splash, If you want to back up your phone that part works fine lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
Oh ok lol. All this lingo is pretty confusing for a newbie, and yes even after reading your guide lol. Ok so let me get this straight, after running RegawMOD which gives me unlocked bootloader and root and recovery all I have to do (after a nandroid backup) is wipe cache/dalvik cache and factory reset then flash the Rom of my choice correct? I appreciate your help!

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Yes, but the kernel needs to be flashed separately, open the rom package you want to flash and extract the boot image. Put the boot image in adb folder and fastboot flash it to phone
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] BigMosley:
And this is different because I have the latest ota or standard practice?

SENT FROM MY EVO 4G LTE!!! (w/no LTE)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Hboot 1.12 is the only hboot that allowed you to flash kernel from recovery

Oic I have 1.19. Damn the OTA's.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Unless the ROM includes Haus' S-ON kernel installer - in that case, the ROM can be flashed normally, and the kernel will install when the phone reboots automatically.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
The one time I don't mention it lol thanks cap
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I only thought it was worthy of mentioning because it seems that most ROMs are including it now to make it easier on the S-ON crowd. But I think everyone should know how to do it manually as well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I should have mentioned it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] p.rodriguezt1:
whats the difference between a system wipe and a factory reset. I can tell what can Factory reset can do but a system wipe ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
It will wipe system partition leaving no OS, users factory reset before they wipe system because they notice more stable performance
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Short answer: They wipe different partitions.

Long answer:

A Factory Reset is essentially a combination wipe script that deletes or reformats 4 specific device partitions: data (where user apps are typically stored), cache (where cached/temp files are stored), .android_secure (where user apps that have been moved to the SD card are stored) & sd-ext (for external SD cards with a separate extended partition for miscellaneous data/information).

A system wipe only wipes the system partition, which is where the Android OS is stored. So, if you do a factory reset and don't wipe system, you will have a ROM with no user data. However, if you do wipe system, you will not have an OS on the device, so you will need to flash a ROM.

Typically, when about to flash a new ROM, I do a factory reset and wipe system to ensure I'm getting a fresh start, despite the fact that most (if not all) ROM installation scripts include a format of the system partition.

I hope that (thoroughly) answers your question :).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
Is a system wipe the same as formatting system using advance/mounts and storage/system ?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
I don't know where you're talking about, but yes, they essentially do the same thing. Then end result is no data on system.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
I've never tried to mount system from twrp just to format, I would assume it's the same but there's no real reason to try it though

No Wifi or Camera

Flashed viper rom and lost access to my rear camera and i also have no wifi, it just says error next to it. Are there any solutions. I am fairly positive I have the latest version of viper rom.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Did you flash a kernel based on an old software version?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crowrb29:
what do i need to do with these files?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
Try the flashimage gui app, open the Rom zip in flash image and let it extract and flash the kernel, then reboot
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] crowrb29:
i got the first image to flash from twrp, it fix the wifi, thank you. The second image will not flashe however. I was going to try to flash with flash image gui but it says that it is not compatible with the evo lte. I would assume that is the image i need to flash to fix the camera.

did i ruin a perfectly good phone

Ever since I flashed the second zip the phone has been stuck in a bootloop. It boots to the htc screen with the "pre" twrp paragraph and then dies and repeats. If i do a hard reset i can manage to get to twrp but even if i do a full factory data reset and wipe everything and then reflash a different rom nothing works. I have completely run out of ideas and am completely exhausted and just missing my regular ICS with sense 4.1 right now. Please Help!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
Hi Everyone,

So I noticed not to long back that my phone has been changing brightness without the brightness bar moving. For instance I unlocked my phone moments ago and my screen was very bright. I went into my brightness settings and looked at the bar was set at 60%. As soon as I touch the brightness bar the screen dims back down to where it's supposed to be.

Now I am thinking this is purely a software issue but I am still a little worried. I have a Galaxy S3 Optus AU. It is running the LF2 firmware and is not rooted or modified. I have turned off auto brightness and power saving for the screen and this problem still persists.

Has anyone else suffered any such issues with there device?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
check if u have activated the auto brightness
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
Auto Brightness was not on when this happened.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
sry my fault...read to quick

hmm the only thinng i can imagine on the go is...has been your battery been on a very low amount of percentage

because i think the power saving mode is changing the brightnes on its own
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
No the battery was at 90% when it happened last. I have factory reset the device to see if it fixes the issue.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amrut223:
OK the issue is still happening. Altho I have now noticed that it happens when unlocking the phone. If I re lock the phone and then unlock it. It's back to normal.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiffer1991:
Well...even stock firmware is not protected to crash or do sth it shouldnt do by the way

so think about a clean install of the rom or a software update this might fix your problem

Thank you, i have look at the sites before, and also a lot of review and sites around the world stated that Galaxy Note 10.1 use gorilla glass but i just couldn't believe it yet, i have email Samsung Customer Support @ indonesia and the Customer Service Officer told me That Galaxy Note 10.1 doesn't have gorilla glass, but as we know it, a statement from CSO is often wrong and hardly to believe

Galaxy Note 10.1 is one of the high end product from samsung, it's have high specification and also quite expensive so it's hard to believe that samsung doesn't use gorilla glass on it, samsung use gorilla glass on galaxy ace who is much cheaper that galaxy note 10.1 so why not on galaxy note 10.1 ?

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanillanesquik:
Your out of your mind if you think the s-pen scratched it. Have you used a microfiber cloth and a very small amount of water or cleanser to clean it? I'm sure it is not "scratched".

did exactly what you said, it's permanent... not dirt.... could be something else i can't think of what else for its size
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I hope it doesn't. The SGS3 and One X have GG2 and it's much more susceptible to fine scratches. There's tons of *****ing in their respective forums about it.

Here's a helpful (but a bit anal retentive) tip. Get some pure carnauba car wax and periodically wax your screen. It makes it much harder for debris to stick, provides a protective barrier, and makes the pen (or your finger) glide more easily across the screen. I use detailing spray to clean my screen rather than a cleaner to keep the wax from being stripped off. And yes, if the nib of the pen picks up something abrasive it'll trash your display. So keeping the nib clean is obviously a priority.

I put a Ghost Armor screen protector on my Note. It actually improves the stylus action, in my opinion. The stylus glides a little easier than on the bare glass.

Don't know if it's gorilla glass, but my puppy pulled mine off a table. It took about a 3 foot drop, and judging by the scratches on the back, she did some dancing on it. When I found it the display was up. But, not a scratch on the glass. I don't use a protector, bareback is best IMHO

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoandroid:
Quoted from the user manual

I'm looking at buying one of these tablets, so I wondered this myself. Here is what page 193 of the user manual shows. It is the only section in which I could find the word "glass" searching the PDF version of the manual:

Display / Touch-Screen

Please note the following information when using your

mobile device:

WARNING REGARDING DISPLAY

The display on your mobile device is made of glass or

acrylic and could break if your mobile device is

dropped or if it receives significant impact. Do not use

if screen is broken or cracked as this could cause

injury to you.

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER: PROPER USE OF A

TOUCH-SCREEN MOBILE DEVICE

If your mobile device has a touch-screen display,

please note that a touch-screen responds best to a

light touch from the pad of your finger or a non-metallic

stylus. Using excessive force or a metallic object when

pressing on the touch-screen may damage the

tempered glass surface and void the warranty. For

more information, please refer to the “Standard

Limited Warranty”.

If it really does have Gorilla Glass it would be nice to see it in the manual. It's a PDF file. Easily updated. ;)

For people who really want to use Windows Explorer effectively, there is a very good app called Samba Filesharing. It runs a samba server on your Android device, which you can then set up as a network drive in Windows. Unlike MTP, all Windows Explorer functions work, eg right-click context menu and filetype associations. It works via WiFi hotspot or normal WiFi connection.

The disadvantage is that transfer rate is limited to about 1.8 MB/s. But for simply browsing files, doing housecleaning, and less-than-huge file transfers, it provides all the familiarity of Explorer. I don't know if it works with wired USB tethering, but if it does, that would also give much faster transfer rate.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skorasaurus:
thanks for the comparisons in a simple list :good:

FYI, for linux users:

When using adb, no need to download any drivers, just use adb [to get adb, just download platform-tools-v19.zip or if there's a newer one when you read this...].

If you're using adb and try to move files remember to also put the / at the end of the filepath for your android device. :cowboy:

i.e.

./adb push nameofile.zip /sdcard/

Also, before attempting to manually mount your gnex, it already may be automatically connected.

After connecting the usb cable - verify by ./adb devices

Thanks, some extra things to note. The ES Explorer FTP server (or perhaps any FTP server) on the Galaxy Nexus is prone to disconnection and may hang if you try to copy the whole folder with a client app like WinSCP.

For WinSCP I found that when doing transfers to enable "Transfer files individually" helps with the reliability.
