JB losses some really good functionality that ICS had... I wana rollback

If I could jump in and say why I wana rollback.

First, phone and message notifications bubbles are not on lock screen . They are on the icon but they don't take you to said message or call.

Secondly Google Now voice search is lame. The search cuts you off mid sentence and the results open in now interface not chrome.

I didnt really notice this before but when you press your home button, when your holding it down fully, does it go past the top rim of the screen glass? I noticed just now. Not below the glass, but does it go to the point you can feel the rim of the glass?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Cleanser2012:
I do feel the glass press against my thumb when i press it but it doesnt go deep enough to cause a huge discomfort although it did take me a while to get use to the feel.

just making sure, you need to be s-off to change recovery, revolutionary is the easiest method.

and yes, despite the fact we don't expect to be using it THAT much, it's a good recovery...:o

Flashing recovery is a scary moment for me. I need other experience user to give advice huge benefit for upgrading recovery. I will try it if I have confident to do so.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eddiehk6:
changing recovery is easy, especially with 4ext. just go to www.4ext.net, download the free app and let it flash recovery.

(the s-off procedure is scarier, but like a lot of things, if you follow all the instructions it's quite easy

we don't know if you're s-off...)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] setspeed:
1. When opening applications from the notification window-shade, they aren't counted as open by the system and hence don't appear in the multi-tasking menu. For example, I'll open GMail from the window-shade go to my first email, click a link in that email taking me to the browser - then when I'm done in the browser if I hit the multi-tasking menu to go back to GMail it's not there. I have to go home, and then launch GMail from it's icon.

2. Different browsers can't be used on a case-by-case basis, unless you don't have one set as default - in which case the system asks you EVERY time which browser you want to launch. The problem is that if I set a default browser (I am mainly using Chrome) then I'm screwed when I come to a page with Flash content (more often than I would like). The only thing I can do then is the cumbersome copying the page address, going home, launching the relevant browser that can display Flash, and then pasting the address in.

It would be nice if I could set Chrome as default but then when I hit a link which takes me to a webpage with Flash content, I'd like to go back a page then perhaps long-press the link and get offered each browser option then (and only then).

Any ideas on how to solve these issues (aside from just using a different browser for no 2?)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guthrien:
#2 - Install "flashify" from the Play store. When you are on a page that requires flash, hit your share button and the typical list of services will come up. Choose flashify and then it will ask which flash enabled browser. It will immediately open that page in the new browser.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacthegreat:
I am not getting any sound from the default google TTS. But PICO and Ivona are working fine! So not getting the TTS on navigation as well.

But in Google now, the search does return proper voice results! Any idea why this might be happening?

BTW, I am using the CM10 nightly. Updating every 2-3 days!

It was working fine initially a few weeks back, but I faced that problem even in the stock JB after which I changed to CM10.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacthegreat:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ergosteur:
Same here, Codename 3.5.0. Was working, then I wiped and reflashed and it doesn't work anymore. I remember reading that there's a file somewhere responsible for making the TTS work properly.

What's odd is that clicking "listen to an example" in TTS settings works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sacthegreat:
I had this problem for quite a long time. So couple of days back, I did a full wipe, and flashed 12th Sept Nightly on my phone. Then I installed the eos signed google apps, and then restored from Titanium backup all my previously installed apps. And the Google TTS was working perfectly fine.

Yester, I flashed the latest nightly (Sept 13th), and I checked my Google TTS. No voice!!! I think this bug is coming when you are updating to a later version of ROM without a clean wipe. Not Sure though!

But since yester, I am not getting any voice in "Listen to an example" but then its working fine in navigation and Google Now!!

Are you not getting TTS working for navigation as well as Google Now??

[Acer Iconia A500] Asparak:
Hi,

Firstly thanks for the excellent resources available through this forum. With the help of TWRP and a user guide, I have finally been able to get from just a rooted A500 to running a custom ROM. Could never get past the booloader before :)

Since updating to the aokp_Picasso_milestone-6 ROM, I have noticed that my battery totally sucks. Last night, I deliberately made sure it was fully charged, turned off. Wifi, Bluetooth and GPS and turned the screen off as I always have done. 16 hours later, with nothing happening and the tablet nit being touched, the battery was completely drained. On the stick ROM, it used to last for days like that. am I missing something buried in the settings somewhere?

Do I need to update my ROM to a different version?

Any advice would be fantastic.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SmoothMarx:
Hey guys, I'm having some trouble with my CWM recovery. I can't seem to update it.

I have I9020-GT (US Nexus S)

Rooted with Cyanogenmod 9.1

CWM Recovery 5.0.2.0

Since installing this recovery, I haven't been able to update to more recent versions, specifically the Touch Recovery.

I've tried using the Terminal, ADB and Fastboot and none of them work. I have also tried DroidExplorer which gives me a "Flashed Succesfully" Dialog Box, only to be disappointed to see it had no effect.

Fastboot simply stalls on "Waiting for device"

ADB says "error: cannot load file"

Does anyone have a solution to update the recovery image?

If you need additional information on my procedures or system characteristics, just let me know.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:
your device have to be in fastboot mode, NOT recovery mode. turn your phone completely off, then press power+volume up at the same time, and then DO NOT select anything! connect your phone to your computer and you should be good.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2wheeler:
I was having the same issue as OP. I tried your suggestion and CWM (previously had CWM6010 installed) claims to have installed (below) however I then had to remove the battery to get the phone to reboot. (adb reboot flash gave the error "device not found").

I can get phone to work fine, but when I try and power-off and boot into recovery, it just displays "Google".

Can't you install this through rom manager?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2wheeler:
Odd. I have Rom Manager installed but cannot "find" it in Apps. Yet it shows as already "installed' in google play (from desktop pc)

Update: Accessing GooglePlay from my phone rather than desktop, allowed me to reinstall Rom Manager. Which showed me having CWM 6010 INSTALLED but also allowed me to "re-install" it. I am now able to reboot and access CWM 6010.

Thx.

However still not sure how to install CWM 6013 (at least using the free Rom). It displays 6010 as the latest version and the only 6013 versions I found were in a .img not .zip format.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Billchen0014:
Download the new 6013.IMG and flash it through adb. The phone must be in fastboot mode before you connect it to the phone. This should work or try twrp. It even has a keyboard for you to use!

Xxx oops! accidentally beamed from my awesome NEXUS S! xxX
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2wheeler:
Tried twice to install latest CWM 6013.img via adb fastboot... Same issue. Phone hangs after rebooting - Screen displays "Google". (I have to remove battery to reboot, which then successfully boots to phone but I have NO access to recovery)

No worries. I will stick with CWM 6010. My only reason for updating was I read 6013 did not have a long lag when running initial backup.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgjl:
I played around with SoftMaker's office-like app in Beta - quite liked it, but it was never very stable (e.g., it often just wouldn't open) and there was quite a bit of typing lag when using the keyboard. Has anyone stumped up the pretty hefty price for the full release and tested it (particularly the TextMaker element) who would care to comment on its pros and cons? I guess for me, in addition to genuine multi-tasking, having a pretty full office suite is the one thing that may put me off getting a Surface - at least in its first iteration.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] clouds5:
Funny :) i just came here to make a thread about softmaker office mobile :)

First off: There is a 30 day test version that you can try out with all features enabled.

I used it since early beta, and i've even written a full 6 pages essay for my final exams with it. There is spelling correction and everything. There is not a single feature that is missing for me. You have to use a seperate app for thesaurus, synonyms and stuff but that doesnt bother me. It seems that they fixed the typing lag issues as well, even when writing longer texts i didnt come across any lags - make sure to enable opengl acceleration in the options.

You can also install any font you like, you just have to put it in the right folder. It reads every file i've come across and displays it correctly. For my essay i had to write it in a premade file that came on a usb stick. No issues at opening it or saving it in the format it came. No display issues or formatting issues.

You can also save your files directly to pdf from the app and the dropbox integration is flawless. In a way it even makes stuff easier than on the pc because everything is integrated.

About the cons.. Well it takes some time until you know what all the buttons do, there is an option where you can arrange the symbols the way you want and there there are explanations on what each symbol does - but thats the only place where they explain it.

Also i didnt find a way to change my standard document. So each time you create a new file you have to set up the font and size before you start typing. Maybe there is an option for that and i just havent found it yet though :)

Also i checked out the presentation app, IT EVEN SUPPORTS ANIMATIONS! I think its the only mobile app that supports ms office animations. So you can simply create stuff on your pc at home save it to your dropbox and present it via hdmi or vga (adapter needed) out, and you can depend on it that it will display exactly the way you created it at home. Over are the days where you need to carry heavy laptops and bring your power adapter :)

I can fully recommend it at this point and suggest you try out the trial version.

On a side note i read about rumors that Microsoft is planning on releasing their own office apps for both ios and android later this year (probably november). So for me there is no reason at this point to buy a windows 8 tablet. Office was the last thing i was looking for. The gap is filled - at least for me.

Cheers mate :)
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgjl:
Thanks for all the helpful info. Don't you think it would be odd for Microsoft to release the Surface, which most people would buy because of MS Office functionality, and then a couple of weeks later release Office for Android/iOS? (As far as I can see the last 'rumours' of this release were back in May) Still, when my ATP comes back from its 3rd RMA (tomorrow) I'll give the 30 day free trial a go. Hopefully by the end of that we'll know a bit more about whether Office proper is coming to Android.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bunnybash:
Kingston Office just got an update... it's awesome now, it was great, but now it is awesome... highly highly recommend this great app
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dgjl:
I think it's Kingsoft - and yes, the interface looks really good now; if only it had a few more fonts...It's also not nearly as accurate at presenting docs as Softmaker appears to be - though SM's interface is pretty demanding to get your head around at first. I guess all these small Office-esque apps are rather concerned about the upcoming MSOffice app (if it comes) and the Surface. It should certainly encourage some good work from the competitors.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWSAH:
HI all,

I've been trying to root my phone thorigh the Advanced Ace Hack Kit. It worked and downgraded my Android. However, I want to flash a new rom (Ice Cold Sandwich 8.6.1). I read that I had to rename the rom to Update.zip and to put if in the root of my SD Card, so I did. I also read to disable Fastboot and to get to HBOOT (Power + Volume Down). When I get there, HBOOT keeps trying to update pd98img.zip. After declining that action, I'm forced to reboot to get back to Android. I can't reach Recovery to flash my ROM. I already did the following:

- Pull out the SD Card (where pd98img.zip is located) and reach Recovery. That works but I get stuck in the stock recovery mode with a red triangle. Rebooted my phone (replaced battery) to get back.

- Renamed pd98img.zip to pd98img2.zip so that HBOOT wouldn't try to update. Also worked, so I went to Recovery with the SD Card pulled in. But again I get the red triangle.

- Did the same as above but when at the red triangle, I press Volume Up + Power and select Update.zip from my SD Card. But then it goes back to the downgraded Android, it's not flashing Ice Cold Sandwich.

As you may have noticed, I'm quite the noob in rooting/flashing. Read a lot on XDA Forums and I've been very carefull to not break my Desire HD. That's why I get here to ask this.

What do I need to do to flash Ice Cold Sandwich in this situation?

Choose Recovery by using your volume up and down button and then click power off button to select

You will be then be into 4EXT Recovery Touch.

Click Wipe | Format

Wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache + dalvik

Wipe dalvik cache

Then go back

install from sd card

Hi There

Thank you for the comprehensive post.

What should I do if scriptmanager app and mount r/w app can't install? In fact, no apps can install.

Also, should the second line in vold.fstab that used to point to external sd stay the same or be modded as well?

My SGS just will not accept any apps installed or anything copied to it. I have repartitioned the external sd but everything still only picks up the internal SD and nothing from external.

Does the external SD need to be partition as a primary or logical partition for the EXT4 part?
