Re: Paranoid newbie questions re replacement ROM

Many thanks, Rukbat, you reply has been very helpful. But as with any learning process, your answers have raised new questions!...

I had Astro File Manager before, but uninstalled it when I started running short of storage, as I didn't think it offered anything that I couldn't do with ES File Explorer and Titanium Backup Pro. Do I really need to reinstall it, or will the backups from Titanium Backup do?

I believe Titanium Backup Pro backs up user apps and data, so once I reinstall Titanium with the new ROM, I should be able to recover my previous apps, yes?

I'm guessing that 'CM' is CyanogenMod? I'm still looking for a version specifically for the GT-S5660V. It worries me (I really am paranoid! :)) that so many versions are 'unofficial', and so poorly documented.

This is what worries me most, as there are very few ROMs and such specifically made for the GT-S5660V – quite a few for the 'generic' Gio (GT-S5660), but few for the 'V' specifically. I read somewhere that the main difference is probably in the 3G frequencies used in Australia, and that some people had tried a 'generic' Gio ROM and lost some of their telephone functionality. Some mention of flashing the Modem code separately, but that just confuses me more!

I looked up Nandroid backup, and it seems to get this I need to install ClockworkMod Recovery. ROM Manager is also recommended as an adjunct, so I've already installed v5.0.2.0 of that. Just need to find a GT-S5660V version of ClockworkMod Recovery now! I guess since it doesn't affect telephone functionality, a version for the generic Gio should be OK, such as http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1421650

It's so confusing for a beginner like me, with so many different versions around!

But I really appreciate your help so far, and hope you can continue to enlighten me. :)

Orbit is my new live wallpaper. Colored circles orbit a point, which changes depending on where your finger is,

if you aren't touching the screen then it defaults back to the middle. The animation is smooth, each circle has

its own size, speed and distance from the centre point. Practically everything can be changed in the settings.

It's quite hard to explain what it's like, I think I make it sound quite boring but actually it's fun to play with and

very unique, give it a go! Please let me know what you think, whether it be good or bad. I would love to hear

suggestions on how I can improve it.

Thanks.

v1.3

- added the option to choose if circles grow/shrink

- added the option to choose if circles are random sizes

- slight performance enhancement

v1.2

- circles now move and follow at different speeds

This was actually originally intended but I screwed up a line of code, oops.

Now the circles orbit and follow at different speeds, which is a much nicer effect.
[Android Apps and Games] suffick:

You can change the speed from 0% - 100% in increments of 10%.

It does lag at times on my phone. I was just going to suggest a setting to adjust the orbit speed and noticed you already did! I do like the paper... Nice job!
[Android Apps and Games] BitGeeker:
Seems to run pretty smooth at slower orbit speeds...
[Android Apps and Games] suffick:
I had a feeling it might, thanks for letting me know. I'll try to improve it, meanwhile reducing the number of circles lightly should make it better.

Ok, so I use the xda app on my Nook Tablet, but when going to the website via google browser on my windows xp computer, the webpages are not downloading completely....I get the top Navigation Bar and whatever pop up ad is running but no info below! What's up with this? I need to get in via my PC to download some ROMs and apps.

Is this because I'm running xp instead of windows 7?

I can get the full pages on my browser on the Nook Tablet (rooted) but can't afford enough dropbox storage to get all the ROMs and other files I need uploaded and downloaded to my PC. Anyway, this just seems odd.

This is probably something technically stupid, but, please help if you can!

Thanks..

It may seem simple, but have you tried using a different browser on your PC?

Can't get full xda website using XP/Explorer 8 huh?

Oh yes, been there done that! Oddly, on my mom's computer running windows 7 I had no problems.....but it seems hard to believe having xp would limit me that way. I used to be able to get in and see just fine until the last month or so. Checked Norton for any blocks/limitations but none I could see!

Totally perplexed. I am running out of hard drive space but can't see why that would make this happen, unless RAM somehow dips in when needed? But no problems on any other sites!

I am using Explore 8 as primary browser as 9 won't load on xp.....perhaps this is it?

Thanks for your reply. Any other ideas? Any devs or admins out there who can answer?

But at the installer after i selected everything and I say start it stays on 0% for a second and then it says it's finished...

What should I do?

In Aromainstaller try the default installation, whithout any theme select. If it works and boot you can go back and select in aromainstaller: modify me and choose what ever you want to change.

I already tried default install but with no success.

On the thread it says i have to put the installer on the internal sd-card

How?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
Connect your Phone with your PC and copy the downloaded rom on your internal sd. In CWM select install from SD and chose the ROM.zip. The aromainstaller is included in the rom.zip. Does the installer starts? It is where you first were ask about the language etc etc?

Or what installer says 0%?

This are the installation infos from TiramiSlim thread:

Guide when you are already on an ICS ROM (Any 4.x ROM):

0) Optional but recommended: Format Internal SD

1. Place the ROM on your Internal-SD Card

2. Go into recovery mode

3. Wipe data | Wipe Cache | Wipe Dalvik Cache | Format /System and datadata (repeat these steps 2 times just for security)

4. Flash the ROM and follow the AROMA Installer instructions.

5. Reboot
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambika:
I put that on the sd-card,wiped everything it said then ran the installer.It came up,I did everything there and when I press install after choosing everything it starts but for a second it says 0% and after a second it says installation completed,but when I reboot nothing starts so it didn't install itself in 1 second..

(sorry for my awful english)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
MMMh perhaps try to wipe everything again and in CWM in advances settings, did you try to clear init and ns settings? And in mounts and storage format system and datadata?

If that doesn't help, i would try it with restock and follow the Guide from GB to tiramislim (over last nightly).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adambika:
Yes I wiped everything I could..

I can't restock because I can't put my phone into download mode
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodman01:
Just saw that the rom you came from is for the galaxy ace?

Is there a TiramiSlim Version for this device too? That i do not know!

I know that SLIMICS is running on several devices, but TiramiSlim too?

Don't think so! Thought you have an Galaxy S1?

[HTC One X] lawrence750:
You could try a factory reset, but strange things happen from water damage.

My old Sony Ericsson worked fine, except for the fact (after I dropped it in a pan of gravy) that the gsm aerial only had a weak signal. Everything else was normal..

Could try silica gel, but there could be corrosion (you can't always even see the corrosion) from minerals/deposits in the water, which is causing a short circuit somewhere, causing the problem.

Unfortunately any water damage automatically (to the repair centers at least) means it's BER (beyond economical repair) so if you can't fix it from it drying out (ideally give it at least 3 days or even more in the rice or silica gel) the only option really is to buy a new one, or claim on insurance if you have cover.
[HTC One X] teonagode:
THx for the answer,but unfortunately this phone dosent have a warranty,i think im just gonna buy the screen and then im gonna send it to my nearest reapir center,and yes i can see dried up water under the screen.

[Galaxy Note II General] panflute:
First I could not buy a G3 because the rounded corners was something I could not live with. The corners on the Note 2 are NOT rounded as much, and with a Otterbox case will be not as noticeable. The specs on the note 2 are almost perfect. The PPI is a bit lower but what I've been reading not that noticible.

The LG Optimus G has a PPI of 440 and I am sure the screen will appear much finer and crisper. The negative aspects of the Optimus G however could be a bit scarry...bad support, and a bad reputation for not supporting their phones.

The HTC One X+ specs are not very clear at this point, so it is an unknown at this point. The One X was inviting to me style wise, but the phone does NOT multitask, add in a non removeable battery and no card slot, and you have to run the other way. The update to Jelly Bean may fix the multitasking issue, but that remains to be seen.

One the Note's plus side, we also have a removeable battery, and a 64gb SD card slot, a notification LED,and NON PENTILE amoled display, 2 gigs of RAM, quadcore processor, all of which makes it quite inviting. I really cant think of any negative aspects to the phone at this point.

I've been on my Atrix 4G since March of 2011 and it has served me well. I got the Nexus 7 and that has satisfied my tablet craving for sure. The Nexus 7 has a LAG ISSUE which I assume google will address and fix at some point.

Switching between my Atrix with its 4" screen, and the Nexus' 7" screen is interesting. My Atrix actually runs smoother and so upgrading the phone to something a little bigger, faster, and better is very critical to me.

We may not know exactly what the negative aspects of the Note 2 are until it is released. I learned a hard lesson with the Nexus 7. With all the hype and great reviews of it, NOONE mentioned the lag issues and other quirks. If the Note performs and feels as good as I think it will, I may sell the Nexus 7 if the wife doesnt want it :).

So really the main point here is I wouldnt preorder ANYTHING anymore until it is relased to the public and vetted because everyone, the companies, the reviewers, the magazines, all want to hype everything to death, even before it is released, AND there has only been ONE main report on the serious NEXUS LAG ISSUE even months after it has been released and well known. What I can say for sure is that I'll never buy an Iphone.
[Galaxy Note II General] Ariozo:
Depends what you are after and use your phone for, but all 3 seems they will be very nice on their own way.

I always get all new phones and normally use 2 phones at a time, one for daily use and one play phone. In the end i always end up using phones i thought I should use last.

Like now after a good while on s3 i did go back to my HoX as I just like that screen and feeling of the phone..:)

But the device i really want is Lumia 920 tho, but till that comes I for sure gonna give note2 and ip5 and other nice devices a shot..:)

[Galaxy Note II General] KCA.:
I was all for the Optimus G initially. The "poor support" thing did concern me but I figured the devs on xda would more than cover that. I could even just about tolerate the non removable battery.. But the lack of an SD card slot just killed it. I bought a 64GB Micro SD not long ago and I wouldn't have any use for it.

The HOX+ looked interesting too but just like the LGOG, the lack of expandable memory is a deal breaker for me.

That left the GNote2.. Big screen, RBG as opposed to pentile, user-replaceable battery (I have an extended battery in my GS2 now), more than ample internals for what I plan to use it for, it's a Sammy flagship (good support), and of course, expandable memory.

Imho, the GNote2 is the way to go, but of course, that's just me

[Galaxy Note II General] Lucidmike:
I'm getting the Note II...soon. The LG Optimus G has amazing specs. That processor may be faster than the Exynos 5250 when it comes out. It will undoubtedly the fastest processor until then. We'll just have to wait and see. But after much research, there are so many people saying they'll never buy LG phones again and they regret buying it. 2 years is a long time to live with buyer's remorse. Phone looks great, but the warning screams are too loud to ignore.

The HTC One X+, I thought for a long time that people who used the HTC One X absolutely loved their phones, and I think this is still true. However, I have followed some users who have the privilege of owning both HTC One X and Galaxy S3 who have given equal face time with both phones, and the it is clear the HTC One X has flaws with how their multitasking is implemented that it unnecessarily wares on your patience, time, and battery power. If you don't own both devices, you probably don't know what you are missing.
