All,

Problem :

With both 7.7 and 7.6 ncx kernels if I repack using source as boot.img from CM10 ROM , and kernel image from NCX on reboot the phone is running at 1200Mhz and does not change. Its sits at this speed, not the best for battery life :)

I always follow same procedure , erase cache, flash repacked kernel, erase cache, into recovery, wipe cache, wipe davlik and wipe battery stats, install kernel tools, reboot. CPU stays at 1200Mhz.

If i flash ncx without repacking all is fine ( using same procedure as above )

I cant post in the dev forums as i don't have enough posts.

I can post a logcat if its worthwhile, but i am not sure if the problem is kernel , image, or auto packer related.

p.s combination rocks :)
[HTC One X] Neo3369:
In my experience you don't need to repack any of the latest kernels from n3ocort3x (i.e. 7 series). I know he recommends it in his OP, but I haven't experienced any problems on his AOSP kernels without repacking (ROM - CM10 Nightlies), and I've read other user comments say the same thing. I also think it may be better to not repack because he did make some changes to his ramdisk which would be lost if repacked. He said this recently, but not sure if that issue is there anyore. From his OP changelog -

Next time, you could try without repacking, and see if you have any problems. The online repacker works fine, the method you described is correct, and so are the steps for flashing the kernel (from the NCX OP I can see :good: )

The thing is that NCX kernels are clocked at max of 1200MHz for some time now:

I'm not sure what you mean by 'not the best for battery life' but n3o seems to think it's optimal -

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=31347619&postcount=196​

So don't worry as long as performance is smooth. If not, you can try overclocking to a higher max frequency, or maybe try the interactive governor before you do that. And the combo does rock! :victory:
[HTC One X] ferrari312_uk:
Very informative reply thanks.

with regards to

To clarify i am now running the kernel as supplied which is great and 1200Mhz is fast enough - the kernel is not repacked.

When I repacked the kernel the phone boots and was usable - however it was or appeared to be permanently clocked @ 1200Mhz, it doesn't drop to lower frequencies and doesn't enter deep sleep. I did not check battery stats to see if there was a run away process, i could see the battery was being consumed rapidly so re flashed.

Hi,

I installed Viber on my phone, and did a try-out call.

The problem is that I can't hear anything (I can heart something, but nothing understandable), and on the other phone the sound is delayed with 1 or 2 sec (and only works on speaker, just like on Skype).

I'm on RobotoMOD based on CM9.

Right now viber had the problem what ever you are using

Try tango is better and you can make video call
[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this with the new JB update.

I have encountered a bug where pressing the back button opens up Google Now.

This only happens when the homescreen is locked in landscape, and I press the back button to exit an app that is in portrait mode. Instead of returning to the home screen, it first exits the app then returns to... Google Now!

Example occurrences are:

1) Stock Launcher, Auto-Rotate screen Off. Using an application that is auto-locked in portrait mode (games, for example). Pressing back button quits the portrait mode application and opens Google Now.

2) Apex Launcher, Screen Orientation set to Always Landscape. Browsing the web in portrait mode, and pressing the back button quits the portrait mode application and opens Google Now.

Does anyone else have this issue?
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
I've noticed it when having Apex as a launcher as well. With the sale going on the past few days I bought Nova Premium, and I haven't been seeing it since (or at least not so clearly it is standing out in my mind).

PS: I'm still having to look around for kicking Google Now out -- it doesn't provide any useful information, and I don't see it 'learning' how to in the future. ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
You are wrong about Google Now. It's probably the greatest feature to differentiate between JB and ICS! Google Now is working well on my tf700.
[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
You're absolutely right it was Apex launcher. I tried Nova Premium (which I also bought for $0.25 :D ) and the problem doesn't happen!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Vo01985:
What do you/people actually use Google Now for?

Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Mainly I used to search for stuff on the web. Instead of open the browser, wait for it to lauch then type in the search item, I just talk to it! Once you get used to Google now, it's very convenience!
[Asus Transformer TF700] timrock:
it can be used for a lot of things.

setting alarms

getting info

asking questions.

your personal planner.

Here is a list of its commands/features

http://www.addictivetips.com/android/google-now-commands-smart-cards-list/
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
This may be your opinion -- I am entitled to my own, however, and that runs contrary -- as a European, non-sports-watching--loving guy (I like *performing* sports), I have next to no use for Now. I have widgets that provide my agenda, and I can do without constantly-on location features -- I do not need driving directions to the train station when I'm cycling for groceries, thank you.

Congratulations on having it work to your liking.

The Dutch voice recognition is utter p00p. I absolutely reject having to direct any app in English, especially since I'm always docked and that works better on a train commute with a lot of co-passengers making all kinds of noises.

I will take a look at the list, but I've taken the tour before and I found nothing of much use. Can't hurt to be up to date, though, so thanks for the link!

(I use several optimized apps for the tasks you referenced and I do not see Now outperforming them, neither convenience-wise nor raw-performance-wise. But I may be mistaken.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
I'm still in exploring the functions of Google Now. So far the cards are pretty neat; they show me the scheduled bus times at the nearest bus stop which helps. Also shows me how to get home by public transit. Weather is always useful as well.

I disabled the Nearby Places cards... because they were showing me things im not interested in, like the local smoke shop... Wish there was a way to remove/flag unwanted content
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
One neat thing about Google Now is the more you're using it, it will know what you're looking for and provide those information upfront for you. Ex, if you search for train schedule from A citi to B city, next time it will display these train schedule info for you upfront.

---------- Post added at 10:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:59 PM ----------

I see your point, but it's more powerful than you think. It will learn what you're looking for and provide these information upfront without you have to search for them. After it learned your behavior, it knows you always check the weather in the morning, then you drive to work. Next time, it will show you the weather and any traffic jams from your house to work etc...without you have to search!
[Asus Transformer TF700] woodsonmh:
I get all the time if I hold and drag my finger a little. what its doing is showing the lock screen ring. happens that Google launch is default for top location of lock screen so that's what opens. might be handy if you have app you switch to all the time. replace Google with whatever in lock screen settings. opps I cannot find settings. good to check sometimes.

[HTC Sensation] Kurdt Kobain:
My phone is stuck on the white splash screen that displays the HTC logo.

It happened because I’ve been trying to get an app working that requires me not to be rooted. I had tried a few of the “ hide your root” apps from the Market but none worked.

I eventually found a way to get it working by going into system/xbin and disabling all the su permissions.

However after disabling the su permissions I found I was unable to allow the permissions again when attempting to reverse the same procedure.

This morning I tried doing an ARHD Superwipe. I thought this would be similar to doing a factory reset (didn’t realise 4EXT had it’s own factory reset).

After doing Superwipe 4EXT told me I was now ready to flash my ROM. I still haven’t flashed the ROM, instead the phone attempted to boot up but got stuck on the white / HTC screen.

Is it normal procedure that Superwipe will completely wipe the ROM off my phone – hence the reason why it’s now stuck like this (until I flash the ROM again)?

I’m at work right now and don’t currently have the ROM on my SD card.

If I reflash the ROM when I get home will that fix everything?

I’m worried that I might have messed my phone up disabling these su permissions?

I can still get into recovery OK what it matters.

Please help if you can as I am panicking a bit here.
[HTC Sensation] malybru:
Hi,

Yes,Superwipe will clear your phone.

This includes the ROM.

Re-flash the ROM,and this will return your ROM,and SU.

:)
[HTC Sensation] evetsno1:
I had a similar issue once when i removed superuser accidentally. I flashed a recovery and it fixed the problem and returned me to root. Did you do a backup?
[HTC Sensation] Kurdt Kobain:
Cheers guys I was hoping it would be as simple as that. I just had a bit of a panic this morning I guess! I've never used Superwipe with previous Androids.

Yeah I did make a backup of my stock ROM before flashing.

So in future is there a more easier way to restore the permisions in su?
[HTC Sensation] evetsno1:
4ext fix permissions in tools menue I believe. You can also hold down on the apk till the menue comes up then go to properties and manually fix them if you know what to set them to.
[HTC Sensation] Kurdt Kobain:
I found that when I first went to disable them the various permission boxes all showed up no problem but when I went back to restore them the boxes would no longer display anymore.

That's good to know that I should be able to do it via 4EXT. Would also like to know if its possible via the phone itself too as my gf's Android doesn't have 4EXT.

Would it work if I copied the system/xbin/su file before disabling them, maybe store it on my PC, and copy it back again afterwards when I want the root reactivating? I'm thinking no because r/rw is turned off right?

Or if I just reflashed the root again from the PC to phone. Would that work?
[HTC Sensation] evetsno1:
I dont think you can get root back by fixing permissions. It is my understanding that root is a two part system. First is a binary and second is a program that interacts with the binary such as superuser or supersu. If you remove either part you lose root.

When I lost root I only lost it because I lost supersu. After losing supersu oil checked for root with root checker and it was lost. I tried replacing it but it didnt work. I had to flash a recovery that had root to get it back or re-root my phone. That is about the extent of my knowledge of it.

[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] cyberboob:
Not gonna be possible to do that on S2 like it does on S3. Different cameras and tech going on there... but you can get some camera apps that give you a small burst - **Look for HDR cam apps and maybe try Ultra Burst or Fast Burst (what daveyannihilation said)
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] yukidamzai:
Tried before but the ui not that nice tks

Well thats as good as is gets until YOU port the s3 camera over to our s2.

Ive been using fast burst camera and its pretty darn impressive
[Galaxy S II Themes and Apps] STELIOSFAN:
Well, Fast Burst Camera application is actually useless, as it limited to very low resolution in Galaxy S2 -800x600 (i've contacted the developer and confirmed that theres nothing he can do about it)

How do you have a custom ROM if you flashed the stock one? I'm confused..

Try installing drivers through the toolkit.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Exel:
If windows recognized it in Download Mode, keep trying to unplug and replug the cable in the same and different ports until it installs?

This happened once on my Galaxy S 4G.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Uninstall all related drivers, kies, etc. Restart pc and download and install these drivers. (Should be latest)

http://d-h.st/zya

Or download and install latest version of kies. Drivers included.

Try connecting again.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] johnx818:
I was never able to flash the stock firmware because my computer fails to install drivers for it. I've also tried using the drivers from the toolkit and it gave me no results.

I just hopped on right now after trying the different USB ports on my computer while in Download Mode. Same deal, it detects, tries to install drivers, then fails. It's coming up as an Unknown Device.

I currently have the latest Kies installed. I'm going to uninstall and give that link a shot, though. Hopefully, Odin3 will be able to detect it, at least, so I can get the stock firmware back on this thing...

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] johnx818:
Thank you for your input, but I doubt this would work in my situation. Ive tried connecting it to my laptop and another computer in the house and they both do not detect the phone. However, i would consider going that route as a last resort if there arent any other ideas.. i just need Odin3 to recognize it so i can revert and send it back in..

Any other suggestions, XDA? And thank you to those that responded!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mikkel-ol:
I have a very, big problem..

Some days ago I changed a broken screen on my GN. After reassembling the phone I noticed that the volume down button didn't work.

'Not a big problem', I thought. 'I'll just turn the volume down by using the slider on-screen'. And it was fine - until I decided to flash a lockscreen, that would put me in a bootloop.

Now I can't access the phone, since I need volume down to go into recovery. And I can't use ADB, since it does not start the server when in bootloop.

I have been trying to fix the soldering myself and I've gone to a phone expert, and apparently the PCB has been teared apart when the soldering broke.

We have tried many things now and nothing seems to work..

But I need to know what these are for:

They look like testers of some kind, and does anyone know if I can somehow emulate volume down?

I'm really screwed if I don't figure this out.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beezer80:
Buy a new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Unlawful:
Well, I believe in Adam Outler's XDA unboxing of the Galaxy Nexus, he stated they were debug ports (not sure if they're JTAG or not though). It may be possible to emulate a button press however, it's more probable that they trigger specific commands or read specific info about the board rather than button presses. Also, you'd need expensive equipment to use those ports AFAIK.

Also, I don't recall soldering being necessary to fix a broken screen (replacing the whole front assembly). PCBs don't usually tear, they snap and that would be very bad, so that may have happened (check for physical damage). It's more likely volume button assembly is faulty and that's relatively easy to repair/replace.

No, you don't need to solder anything when changing the screen, but in process of doing so I must have bent the volume button assembly so the soldering have gone loose..

Yesterday i've put JB on my S3. And everything is working correct however. There is one weird translation in the notification bar. Where the brightness can be set there also is a checkbox. On ICS it said "Auto" however now it says "Automatich" What is too long for that place.

So i thought lets change that! I searched everywhere for language files and how to edit that. Google did not help either.

Can someone push me in the right direction where to edit what file/apk?

Thanks in advance!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] suraj93:
This has to do with the 'Glove mode usage'. When glove mode is enabled, you can with your finger not touching the screen ( or glove ),unlock and use the phone as normal, without touching it. Floating touch throughout the OS, not just in the browser. And you have this circle to tell you where your finger is pointing. If you lock your phone, and unlock with the bare finger touching the screen, it switches back to normal mode ( even though glove mode is still on ). Lock again, and if you unlock with the finger in the air, glove mode is used

To sum up, when glove mode is on, you can use the lockscreen to switch between using glove mode, and normal touch mode. This helps, as you dont need to go to setting to turn it on and off. If glove mode is off, this doesn't work, which is self-explanatory :P

Press and hold a widget in the homescreen. After you confirm it's place, you get 4 little diamonds on the borders. You can use these to extend it vertically and horizontally. I think it's a feature introduced in the ICS update itself.

DO correct me if I am wrong, or if I missed something. I'm a noob :)
