[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyancompgeek:
Hi all, i just bought a portronics limebox. as far as i can tell, it runs stock gingerbread though the launcher has been modified to make it easier for tv use. i need root for this device to remove a whole lot of bloatware. which are the standard methods of doing this?????? Another thing, its own stupid virtual keyboard keeps popping up even though i have plugged one in already. is there any way to get rid of that?????????? wont let me remove it since it is the only keyboard......

runs android 2.3.1 with kernel: 2.6.32.27 limebox 001DU_v03......if u need any other info, plz tell me

thanks for your help!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aniket1234:
see i also have a limebox and i wanna root it and i dont know it but i know that crappy keyboard thing so u have to do is download null keyboard

from the android market (its free) and use it its a keyboard with no keys nothing will pop up and download keepscreen cuz when your listening to music it goes into sleep to avoid that use keepscreen (its free) and the rooting thing i dont know it and i am only 12 so be nice

Hope this helped! ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xyancompgeek:
Dude......I'm 15 myself......Age doesn't matter! :) Thanks for the tip........will be sure to try it out. Sad that there isn't a root method available for this one. Btw, have u tried to play an mkv file? Does it lag on yours?

[Asus Transformer TF700] Lcstyle:
So my tf700 running ICS was encrypted. I updated using update prompt inside OS. After update and restart it got stuck on the ASUS screen with the circles for half an hour. Finally factory reset brings it back, noticed my version was now 4.1.1.

Got it all setup again, then chose encrypt tablet. Tablet was encrypting around 22%, left it alone for about an hour then came back.

It was sitting on the password prompt beeping periodically. Entered PIN, then tablet stuck in boot loop again.

How fix?
[Asus Transformer TF700] compewter:
Same thing as shown here. My best conclusion is we wait for 4.1.2 :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shadowlink217:
I'm trying to get kies over wifi (NOT the browser based kies air) working on my SGS3. It detected my computer fine the first time I connected, however it stopped working and will no longer detect the computer. I've followed the directions in the program and went as far as to disable windows firewall after it stopped working, but no luck. Does anyone know how to fix this? I know there's other software that can do this (along with kies air) but I like that it has the ability to connect automatically when I'm in range of my router and would much rather just get kies working.

oh, and it detects it fine when connecting via usb and I'm updated to the latest version of kies
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shadowlink217:
Alright, I managed to get it working. If any one else has this problem, try installing allshare through and go through the initial setup wizard. Make sure you have allshare cast enabled on your phone so it can detect it. After I got it set up with allshare it started working fine with kies, even without allshare open.

I really hate how I flash a new from every day. I though jb was good at first but not like everyone else I have my doubts. A little to "heavy" doesn't feel right on my phone. I really appreciate ics and it feels alright on my phone, but I really miss gingebreads reliability and speed, just curious, does anyone else feel the same? Should I just switch to gingerbread again? Is other a way to keep some features of ics on gingerbread? :confused:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demanufacturer:
I used to run CM7 and CM9 on my i9023 nexus s.. and I found CM7 to be really unstable. I switched to a CM9 nightly and it was a godsend.. smoother, more attractive and 10x more stable! but I found it sort of "slowed down" after about 3 months.. just a circumstantial observation though, didn't do any tests.

I'm hooking up my friends with a couple of Nexus S's shortly because they need phones. I'm thinking of giving them CM9, rather than 10, for better battery life. But I'm guessing CM9 is susceptible to the SMS remote wipe hack? haven't tested it.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashy10:
Personally I never liked cyanogenmod up until 9.0 , I'm on cm9 right now but it random reboot & hangs :/ cm10 seems pointless to me.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nashy10:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezubiaurr:
Try AOPK JB Build 4, the best rom i've tried so far, no lag, probably as fast as GB
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billford:
Gingerbread for me.

Rooted it, just to install adfree android.

Removed a few native apps, email, talk and a few others.

Fast, stable and no battery pulls.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MRsf27:
true dat. I remember when AOKP came out with their first JB rom, it was so unstable; rebooted my phone every 10 mins and I flashed cm10 and was happy for a while but it then started to do the same thing. Then i went to paranoid and it was even worse; so i went back to cm10. and then AOKP JB build came out and i was skeptical about getting it because of my first experience with them but I gave it a try and I have been flashing AOKP all the way up to build 4 and let me tell you; BEST ****ING ROM ON JB right now. My phone never crashes; never lags, and is super crazy smooth/fast!:D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felipe Ambrosio:
Thing is, every rom is fast and smooth right after you flash it. In order to talk so good about one, I'd say you need to keep it for, at least, 3 months. If it's still stable and fast, with no wipes needed, no daily reboots, I'd believe you.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MRsf27:
Damn builds come out every Sunday with new updates every time lol... Itd be hard to stay on one build for that long :P
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niteh@wk:
AOKP JB is very stable now. I haven't wiped since the nightlies, up to build 4 currently. I flash new build/nightly as soon as it's available. 3 months? Don't think I can hold for even a few days after new build is released.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shinyhead:
Hello all,

Not sure if it is the rom's issue (90% sure it isn't) or if the phone's GPS is just weird.

I just recently flashed CNA 3.6.5 with it's stock kernel. After I put a google map traffic widget on my homescreen and clicked it. I can see the GPS locked on but it would never turn off. I came from Vicious 4.1.1 v1 (without GPS fix) so this behavior is new to me :S Is this normal for everyone else for the GPS to stay locked on even after 30 minutes it is clicked?

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] My Gnexi:
I own a group in WhatsApp, and I want to change ownership to someone else. Can this be done, and how?

If that's important I'm on Android 4.1
[General Questions and Answers] Razzzor:
Changing ownership of Group in Whatsapp

Sorry for replying to an year old post, but I was looking for this solution and I found it. So though to post, so that anybody else can use it.

If you are the owner of the group and delete it, another group member is randomly designated as the new owner of the group. Now the new owner can add you again as a group member. You cannot select a particular person to be owner of the group. This is done randomly.

There is a workaround possible for this as well. If your group is small, go to group info and delete every member from group (remember who you are kicking out) and leave only two members, yourself and the one going to be the new admin. Now, in the group info, click on "delete and exit the group". Don't worry, this will not delete the group (Don't know, why they have named it like that), because you are only leaving the group. Now the admin will shift randomly to any member (the only one remaining in the group :highfive: ). That's it. Ask the new admin to add everybody back in group including you.

If you are desperate enough you can even try it for a bigger group (anyways there is a max limit for group members, 30).
[General Questions and Answers] My Gnexi:
With your solution everyone is losing chat history except for new admin right?

You might as well the him to start a new group and add everyone.

What I did eventually was*:

Backup with Titanium.

Exit group.

Tell the randomly assigned admin to add me back.

Restore with Titanium.

For a while it seemed like I was admin too. I wonder if it is (was) another security bug in WhatsApp.

* ofcourse this doesn't solve the problem of being unable to choose a new admin.

We've switched to Hangouts, it's better.

Hi all!

I searched all over the places but i cant find any answer to my question

I wanna predefine some basic settings like screen timeout, etc, before i cook my rom, just to when i flash the rom i have my settings and not have to change it mannualy.

its any build.prop vars ? cant find anything related to this

this is for a MIUI rom

and another question related to predefined settings, its the programs in launcher dock (nova launcher)

i want to predefine my programs in dock, so, again, when i flash my rom i have my predefined programs in launcher dock

i know this last one is android general and not launcher settings, because doesnt matter what laucher you use, the programs in the dock is always the same, phonebook, brownser,etc.

is there any file where the activities are stored ?

if anyone can help me or give some hints

thanks
[Android] lithid-cm:
Yes. But you will have to use smali.
[Android] ruizit0:
thank you for your answer ..

no problem i think, but what i need to decompile ? can you point what apk or framework is ?
[Android] lithid-cm:
I'm not 100% familiar with Miui. I'm guessing though that launcher settings will be in the launcher apk. Same with phone settings in settings.apk
[Android] ruizit0:
lithid i doubt, because i already removed original launcher apk (miui) from system/app on cooking and replaced with nova, and the activities in dock keep the same..

hmm .. unless all launchers use a default activities for dock, and all devs implement the same dock configuration .. ill decompile it and take a look

did you know in smali what im searching for ? the file ?

So I've just about got my continuum set the way I want it... For now anyway:). There are two things I'm missing that I'd like to have though, the AOSP lock screen and the extra power off options. Both are in TB's Everything mod, unfortunately when I use that I have two apps that break, one of them I need for work. Right now I'm running Ciscogee's deodexed Ec09 and ICS theme.

anything else u would like to see?
[Continuum General] roaddog665:
The only other things that really stick out to me are:

Center the date and time in the ticker,

Remove the time from the notification bar... Kinda redundant on a continuum.

BUT... I know how it is with kids and school/work, and I know you're working on the kernel, so if you can't get to this, its all good.

Off topic: ever had any issues with the ticker WB not refreshing? Pretty sure it's something on my end, but it will never update... Even if I try a manual refresh.

Sent from my SCH-I400
[Continuum General] ciscogee:
The ticker stuff is trailblazers department. As well as time in date in settings. Those might take more time since I used his mod to theme on top of on those.

The WB won't update due to clearing lvl 2 ram. I believe
