I actually have an idea for you guys. If you want my help, I'm willing. Create an amazing stable rom, and create themes for the most popular NFL teams. Then, package it as the NFL lovers rom and include nfl apps and game watching tools. That's a big market.

I've seen these teams across various communities and scenes but I'm curious in what sorts of ways do each member in team contribute to the overall project? Is it like a construction site where you have a welder, crane operator, etc. where each person does a different job or is it something different?

That sounds easy enough. Thank you!

Hello,

I am kept to get answers for both sides and i really need a final answer please...

I've now stock ROM with root and CWM.

I want upgrade from this ICS stock to leaked JB.

How I can upgrade without wipe and without loose all settings/data/apps?

Thank you so much!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pawmadsen:
You can. But it will properly not work very well. You should rethink your data storage system if you cant wipe, what if u lose the phone? You should use drive or dropbox to sync data.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikorette:
Look it's advisable to wipe. But in saying that I personally have flashed the leaked DLI4 Odin package from ICS (LF2 with Siyah Kernel and CWM) without having done a wipe. All my apps and setting are still there. Everything is working like it should.

If you don't wipe and there is a problem its best not to post about the problem in the respective thread as you will be shot down.

Do a full wipe and flash using desktop Odin if it does go wrong.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
NAND backup done :) now lets do upgrade and hope all will work well without wipe :)

1) Can I run this upgrade via CWM or i must do it via ODIN?

2) Where can I download the DLI4? I upgrade from stock ICS with stock Kernel.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nikorette:
1) Odin or mobileOdin as the link is compiled as a Odin flashable file.

2) http://goo.gl/rvmgL

Extract the zip and point Odin to the .tar.md5

You should be fine without a wipe if coming from stock ROM (No promises)

Recommend you wait for the LI5, it's already up as OTA. Full one should be uploaded soon at the above link.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rommark:
Besides ROOT and CWM all ICS stock with stock kernel..

so i download:

1) and install it with ODIN?

2) put in download mode

3) anything to check or uncheck in ODIN?

4) I9300XXDLH4 Do not increase your binary counter ??

Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidizen:
As others have noted you CAN BUT it's not advisable, in my experience you will have lots of FC issues, boot loops or other issues that will require battery pulls to fix. Your always best if your playing with leaked roms or experimental builds to full wipe.

Use Titanium backup and Dropbox to store your user data or apps you can't afford to loose and you should be golden.

If you can't wipe avoid roms would be my advice.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
A slight variation on the question. I have done a full backup with Titanium. Suppose I do a factory reset then update to JB, then restore from Titanium. Will it be ok or is some of the restored system data incompatible with JB? Since the JB update will be OTA presumably the final release can be installed without doing a wipe if one is prepared to wait?

Cheers,

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashmont:
Thanks for the prompt help. So would the least painful (in terms of loss of settings etc) way to upgrade to the JB firmware when released be

a) do full backup on TB just to be safe

b) unroot the phone

c) update to JB

d) root the phone again

Cheers,

Ashley
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
TB only backs up apps it does not backup the OS that's a Nandroid backup .

as to b c d yes that is the recommended way .

I prefer to join XDA Developers and flash official JB stock rom when released rather than wait for an OTA update .OTA and Kies i never ever use why wait ???

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Guys,

Getting a Nexus 7 today but have one question on file sharing over a Wi-Fi network.

On all my other Android devices I use Solid Explorer Beta2 and connect direct to my Laptop to share files.

I have heard this is not possible with the Nexus 7 or at least it has been mentioned in the User Reviews.

So, question being can I share files between my Laptop and Nexus 7 over Wi-Fi using either Solid Explorer, ES File Explorer or any other similar App?

Update:

After obtaining my Nexus 7 later that day I installed Solid Explorer and managed without any issues or problems to get the App to connect via Wi-Fi to my Laptop.

Thank you to all who took their time and effort into providing me with their recommendations.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewidya:
I use samba file sharing on my android in order to create my own workgroup with my PC, and use ES file manager to browse my PC, with this way you can transfer any file from PC to your phone

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Thanks.... although to use Samba you need root and that unfortunately is not an option I will be doing.

The thing is though, surely we should still be able to share files over Wi-Fi to our PC's/Laptops directly using third-party apps as I mentioned above.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] semperfizh:
This is a very general question you ask. Did you try Airdroid? Simple and nice file sharing over the browser:) . For bigger files > 1gig I would use adb.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
As I mention in my opening post I don't have the Nexus 7 yet, I'll be picking one up sometime today.

I agree it should be a general question but I noted in the Google Play review comments where users using Solid Explorer could not connect over Wi-Fi to their Laptops.

General question it may be but it would be nice to hear if there are any issues in connecting wirelessly to Laptops/PC's using third-party apps as in Solid Explorer, ES File Explorer etc.

Basically I don't use USB for any of my file transfers (unless they are large files that is), I always use either WIfi transfer or Cloud (Dropbox/Box).

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
When you say it works fine does it answer my question in working fine at Wi-Fi File Transfer with your Windows PC/Laptop.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Thanks Guys, I'll look at these but I would prefer if Sold Explorer worked over Wi-Fi File Transfer.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Well, well, well...... I finally managed to pick up my Nexus 7 late this evening and the first thing I did after doing the initial setup was to install Solid Explorer Beta 2.

So, with it running I switched on the Laptop and set the App to scan for the wireless connection.

BINGO, it found my Laptop first time and connected without a hitch.

I have the two successfully paired together and am happily transferring a number of files at 1.69MB/s over to the Nexus 7. Obviously for large files I will use a USB cable but in the meantime Job Done.

Next step will be to hop on over to Google Play and leave my comments against those who said you can not carry out wireless transfers using the App.

I would like to thank all those who took their time and effort into providing me with their information.

I'll now edit the topic title and remove the question mark at the end.

Thanks again guys.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AFFAFXP:
In the past, many good application have come and gone but 2 applications I would suggest as they can be used with a laptop or computer to serve up files via the local IP example 192.166.0.23 is my box in the den of my local server both the apps I will share can accomplish shares like you are trying to achieve whereas the local IP is what you set in each application. Keep in mind you can also add the hostname if you have one resolving to the local computer you are using. Basically you can use a free DNS server like dynu to give your computer a hostname like http://mycomputer.net and you can access it locally or by the hostname.

The absolute best options are : Everything Server Soft

and http-explorer

http-explorer can only be found on my social network as the company went out of business in 2010 but I have saved a copy of the awesome application and both options will allow you to access your files from any device anywhere anytime.

Im not sure what classes as good battery life on the N7. But after looking at other peoples reports im convinced mine isn't that good.

Im using CM10 and Trinity Kernel, both latest versions.

As of now these are my stats.

Screen on 3 hours

20 Hours on battery, with 16% left.

Anyone any advice or tips?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poondog:
IMO not good at all. How long since you flashed the rom/kernel?

I usually give it a few charging cycles before judging a rom/kernel to be good or bad

Obviously everything depends on your bightness levels, clock speed and undervolting.

What clock speed are you running at? I am on AOKP and using faux's kernel at 1.2GHz and battery is double yours. My brightness is quite low though

Also depends on what you're doing on it
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superleeds27:
Auto brightness.

TKT App, limiting it to 1150Mhz. UV by 25mv.

Basic browsing, facebook, twitter etc. Odd game for 5-10 mins.

Flashed the ROM & Kernel Yesterday, but its being acting like this for a while on previous ROMs tbh.

yeah going to look into that.

For now, ive changed my kernel to Faux, and undervolted by 75mv. Also changed the limit to 1.1Ghz, using System tuner.

Going to charge to 100%, calibrate, and then install betterbatterystats to see what causes it. Noticed my unit seems a little warm, well, System tuner reporting it at about 45C, but then that could be because ive been using it for a good 10-15 mins installing and setting things up. (Also using a Gel case, guessing that wot help heat escaping!)

Well that's not too bad mines at 12 hrs and 37% but Im constantly on mine all day
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Okay.... have an issue!

Have been using the Nexus 7 happily today, got it down to 6% and it switched off by itself. I don't mean powered down, it simply died.

1. Plugged in the mains lead and tried to boot up but it wouldn't.

2. Tried again 5mins later and this time it showed the white battery charging icon so I left it.

3. Came back 2 hours later and with it still charging I powered it back up, only after it had loaded the battery percentage has only increased to 8%

So, anyone care to help me out here...... has anyone else experienced this?

Just had another peek (it's now been another 30mins which means 2hrs 30mins on charge) and it's only increased by 1%.

So from 6% when it died to 2hrs 30mins later on charge it's only risen 3%

It's a stock 16GB device.

I would think the title makes it pretty clear that I am trying to access it as mass storage. Just sayin. :confused:
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Actually, it isn't "pretty clear", because there are several ways to "get it to mount".

How long have you been using AOKP? Do you have Debugging turned on? What steps have you taken to mount your USB storage other than just plugging it in? When you plug it in, does anything show up in your notifications?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xplorer4x4:
How long have you been using AOKP?[/QUOTE]

Pretty much since it came out. I was using Hascode's CM9 prior to that.

From the OP:

"it only recognizes the ADB connection over USB and does not prompt me for SD Card access."

I tried turning ADB on and off on the KF. Other then that, I dont particularly recall.

The debugging notification.

Seeing as the problem persists on linux and windows, I think this narrows it down to the problem being the KF. Could it be a rom and kernel conflict? I know that prior to do anything with the KF, I upgraded to the latest Fire Fire Fire bootloader and TWRP using the KF Utility. I have not tried mounting the KF as a USB drive with in recovery.

EDIT: Just tested USB via TWRP and am able to browse the sd card now.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] powerpoint45:
I think the problem for not being able to mount from rom is because you have mass storage turned off. Go to settings>STORAGE>three dots in top RIGHT> usb computer CONNECTION>mass storage

If that does not work then go into term emulator and type

su

setprop persist.sys.usb.config mass_storage,adb
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soupmagnet:
Forgive me for not being clear. There are several ways to mount the sdcard partition as a USB drive. Obviously you know you can mount to USB by plugging the device on and selecting "Turn on USB storage", but you can also mount to USB in recovery using the "Mount" function or via the command line using the adb shell. By only saying you "can't get it to mount", you aren't very clear in your intentions or which method you want if only one method is preferred. Your general lack of detail is what prompted my line of questioning to get a better idea of how to help you solve your problem.

That being said, if those other options are successful in mounting the sdcard while doing so within the ROM isn't amd you don't get a mass storage notification, it's likely a problem with the ROM and not the KF.

Have you enabled mass storage?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Xplorer4x4:
I didnt mean the KF in a hardware sense but just that the problem lies some where on the KF and not the computers.

Anyways, I have already upgraded to hashcodes CM10, and it works flawlessly now. Not sure where the problem lied but thanks for the help guys!
