[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
in order to flash jellywiz i had to do the following or else i bootlooped:

wipe data/factory reset

wipe dalvik cache

format system

flash rom

booted up flawless.

i also used this methid for paranoid android...i will probably update my guide with this. unfortunately i cant give any info on what formatting system is actually doing. never had to do this before??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
I don't know why they are suggesting it but it doesn't do anything beyond the normal factory reset and then the zip formatting system itself.

Its just the manual way of doing what a clean flash does.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Why are people having issues restoring nandroids after doing this? Apparently bootlooping occurs after format/jb install/restore previous nandroid.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
if im not mistaken formatting the system deletes the rom/kernel itself...normal factory reset from cwm recovery only deletes rom data/cache.

edit* good question!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Yeah you're right but the zip of the ROM 99% of the time formats system also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
i wonder why i had to format system to get the latest jellywiz rom to not hang on galaxy s splash screen? it makes no sense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Also, how does a format not erase your nandroids? It should also wipe titanium backups if they are not on your external. Am I wrong on that? Could formatting lose certain bits of info that the nandroid may not have partitioned, and that's why the restores are not working correctly?

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Add on: good info guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
I haven't used that ROM, check the updater script in the ROM zip.

It all depends on what you format. /system, /data, /cache are only those three directories, no other files and not the whole SD card. The SD card is under /mnt... use a root browser and poke around the whole phone you'll get an idea what its all about.

I attatched a pic of the root directory to give you a better idea.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Right, for seeing how the system partitions itself for a manual format through your root directory, but not getting the format system option in recovery. Do you lose everything, including any form of backup? Would make sense that you would, but yet the nandroid backups remain.

---------- Post added at 10:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:31 PM ----------

Clarification: format system option, not data wipe/cache etc.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
Formatting system thru recovery is the same as formatting system thru a file explorer. Its the sane directory regardless.

Nandroid backups are under /mnt/sdcard(or extsdcard)/clockworkmod

Therefore safe when you format /system

Look at it like this, let's call our phone c: drive.

System is under c:system backups are under c:mnt/sdcard/clockworkmod

Understand ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigmook:
don't they have you format the system because its jellybean. I remember having to format system when going from gingerbread to ics on my bionic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I think it has something to do with the roms being leaks instead of official builds...the reason being is I dont have to format on anything aosp or touchwiz 4.0...only the tw 4.1.x leaks.

Hello community,

I have recently aquiered a Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango/Tango) device. I wonder if there are any must have apps to try? I also couldn't find a XDA app.

Regards,

Race55.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Manneman32:
For forums as XDA use Board Express...

WhatsApp is a must!

MetroTube instead of YouTube. The Youtube-app is just a shortcut to the YT-site

PhotoFunia... fun for photoediting

Connection Tiles for shortcuts on homescreen

Groupy for categories on homescreen

If you have root the list can be soooo much longer ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoodDayToDie:
There used to be a dedicated XDA-Devs app - in fact, I think I still have it installed - but it's not supported anymore. Kind of sad.

Note that there are already a *bunch* of "recommend me some apps!" threads, some of which aren't very old at all.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
I have been facing this problem for quite some time now, quite so often the touchpad screen becomes unresponsive ! ! sometime when i try to unlock the device the device wont unlock . The screen comes on but will not respond to any touch events !

(I am using cynagenmod 9)

To resolve this i always have to force reboot my device ! which is something i dont like a lot !

I read a few posts about this, so i re flashed the latest nightly and the problem was not resolved, i did a clean wipe factory reset as well lost all my data ! but it did not resolve this issue !

any insights into what causes this problem

Thank you.

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Do you have the problem in WebOS? If so, it's probably a hardware problem.

Also, for next time, you can back up Android with Nandroid and only apps/data with Titanium Backup or something similar. Then you won't lose all your data.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
i am sorry for not providing complete information, i only have this issue in CM9 ! i have not faced this issue in webOS yet !
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Did you wipe /system as well as /data? Factory reset only wipes /data. Also, did you check the md5sum to make sure the download was right?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
I am doing wipe system right now ! i will let you know if i face the problem once again !

thank you
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
I just did a wipe system, and the issue has not been resolved. I am certain that i dont face this issue in webOs i used only webOs for 5 days constantly and i did not face this problem ! but i face this problem in CM9.

I currently flashed the cm-9-20120909-NIGHTLY downloaded straight from cynagenmod website !

i used the touchpad for a min locked the screen and came back to check after a min and the screen became unresponsive and i could not unlock it !
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
The md5sum check is to make sure that the file you downloaded is identical to the one posted on the CM10 website. Sometimes, downloads aren't perfect even if you got them from the right place. It makes sure that there are no errors in your ROM. It's probably fine, but it can't hurt to check.

Try upping you min CPU values... sounds like half way to the SOD.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:

[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Settings -> Performance -> Processor.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
what should i set the cpu governor to ? performance or something else ?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -SGA-:
Just try your min CPU value up from 384 to 486 to see if it helps at all...
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
i went into performance -> processor -> set min cpu !

but min and max cpu has been greyed out ! i can click on it but cannot edit it ! !

do i need an app to do this ?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
I'm using OaT's builds, for which CPU is greyed out and for which you need to install the setCPU app. I had thought that base CM9 allowed you to do it directly from the settings menu. My bad. Get setCPU from the Google Play Store.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
bought the app ! set the minimum to 432 ! will use the touchpad for a day and let you know if this fixed my problem ! thanx !
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
I changed the min cpu to be a higher value, i did not face the problem all night , but its back again today evening :(
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Well, if it decreased in frequency, I think that's a good sign. What's your IO scheduler and governor? Did you ever check on the md5sum?
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:
i installed the 09/09 nightly from TWRP and forced it to do a MD5 check, it passed.

Current governor is interactive ! min cpu is 432MHz , max cpu is 1.188GHz.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bananagranola:
Try changing governor to conservative. It forces CPU to stay at the minimum. It will be slow, but try it for awhile and see. Maybe you just need to lower your CPU max.
[TouchPad Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amitvig22:

After days and days of scouring the forums, blogs, etc., I have finally come to accept that I'm a moron when it comes to this stuff, and that it's time for me to ask for help. Every time I think I finally have it figured out, there's another hurdle right around the corner. Anyway...

I'm currently running cyanogenmod 7.2. I've been trying to flash some new roms, preferably blackbean, but I always end up in a boot loop. From what I understand, it might be because I'm s-on, and need to flash from fastboot, or achieve s-off. Although, at this point I have no clue. Could someone point me in the right direction?

Here's my details:

Supersonic EVT3 SHIP S-ON

[HTC Amaze 4G] snp304:
so, I decided to try and create my own bootanimation. It worked, but my problem is with the text portion of the zip. Here are my numbers in the text

624 352 30

p 0 0 part 0

I only have one folder, part 0, but I thought the animation would play indefinately until booting was done. The animation played, but only once, then stayed on the last pic until the phone finished booting. I enjoy tinkering with my phone, but am definately out of my comfort zone. Any help with the setting would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Did you compare your custom zip with that of others that work already?
[HTC Amaze 4G] snp304:
I briefly looked, but I am only using one folder with animation images, all of the other zips that I looked at have two folders with animation images..I just started this process over the last couple of days...I'll eventually get it figured out, just thought I would come to the pros:laugh:
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
Well then the second folder is probably the second half of the animation or some part of the cycle to keep it going, you'll have to do it like the others for it to work like the others unless you mod the system to do otherwise.
[HTC Amaze 4G] snp304:
I think I may have found my issue...

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/13/how-to-create-a-droid-custom-boot-animation/

from this page...

The part0 folder contains .png files which boot but do not loop. The part1 folder contains your .png files which will loop over and over again. The desc.txt are the settings you can tweak including how big you want your custom boot animation to display.

I was only using the part0 folder..will try again tomorrow...if anyone wants to chime in with advice, have at it...
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
A little research goes a long way.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinHeadedEagle:
I have few questions for wiping the phone?

A lot of time passed since I bought this phone, and there are a lot of garbage in sdcard and system itself? I changed many ROMs, and I want to breathe new life to phone.

I am interested in following CWM functions:

format /system

format /cache

format /data

format /sdcard

format /emmc

Will it erase everything and everything from the phone and sdcard, including the system?

Will this remove CWM and Root?

How to flash new system again, when I am not able to boot?

Is above procedure same as this, except that in this case, I am able to boot latest installed system?

- wipe data/factory reset

- wipe cache

- wipe dalvik

- format sdcard

- format emmc

What about code *2767*3855# , what is included under this type of wipe/reset?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmarPlus:
This just wipes apps. When you format /system it won't boot so you can only install a new ROM or restore a backup.. And no CWM won't be deleted..

Most ROMs format system automatically. But when you upgrade from GB to ICS you should format system and wipe data, cache and Dalvik cache.

And about the code, it's called a hard reset, same as wipe data in CWM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwinHeadedEagle:
How to restore backup when I formatted sdcard?

Is it safe to format emmc, and what is purpose of emmc?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OmarPlus:
Emmc is external SD card, I don't really know if it formats all(music and stuff and apps) or just apps. But i think formatting in CWM wipes apps only ..So better not format it .. no ROM requires formatting SD or emmc :)

And you should always save backups on your PC..but if you format SD I don't think it will wipe data

Had Evo 4g rooted so im not a rook, but LTE is new to me. So just wanted some answers before I go ahead with rooting process.

I've seen threads posting you need "root" before going s-off, but I dont know if these are dated now.

Do I need to gain root before using LazyPanda's S-off shown here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1737123

Or can I run this process from a stock phone. If Im correct, gaining s-off will root and the 1st part of gaining root s-on would be redundant.

Can someone provide some help, again Im new to phone and dont know if these processes are dated or not.

Just need a point in the right direction to do this without having the newest "HTC Paperweight"

I'm assuming you have 1.12 since you are asking about lazypanda.

If so, yes, you need to root in order to get S-OFF. Use zedomax to give you root and then run lazypanda
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] premo15:
Honest question: Why is that? I didn't realize you needed to root first (i just happened to be already when i ran lazy panda), so now I'm curious...I thought root access only pertained to the OS and lazy panda was a modification to the bootloader?
