[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLIM8D:
Hello,

Today I updated my rom manager on my phone and saw there was a new cynanogenmod rom availble for my phone.

I downloaded the ROM with Rommanager and when it rebooted into clockworkmod recovery for install - it stopped displaying the message "Installation aborted".

I have tried downloading both version 7.2 and 7.1 (the one I were using before) manually and installing it by recovery bootloader - then I'm gettin the error message: (bad) Installation abborted.

I'm not able to post the recovery.log, cause of XDA forums restrictions :/

Any suggestions to what I could do, to get my phone working again?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KLIM8D:
Okay fixed it..

Used adb push instead of just copying the roms to the sdcard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeggen:
It would be the killer app for me if it exists... that is the app that has all three components here:

1) Handwritten notes w/ notebooks and/or page tagging

2) Support for S-Pen and ability to use an S-Pen only input mode.

3) Sync to PC (or use dropbox/Evernote to sync) and be able to view notes on the PC. I want to not have to export my notes but just keep notebooks in sync so that when I'm done writing on the tablet the notes on the PC are updated and get updated everytime I make changes instead of having to export to PDF or another format.

I'm not sure if any of you have used Livescribe paper/pens/software but if they could reproduce that kind of functionality with OTA syncing that would be incredible! Still occasionally use my Livescribe pen but would rather than be fully using my Note 10.1 for everything.

Anyone know of something that does it all? I've used Quill, LectureNotes, S-Notes and others but still haven't found something that can do all three. Any ideas or suggestions?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tarheels55:
I use Quill and it syncs with Evernote.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeggen:
So you can make edits in Quill, they are automatically updated to Evernote and you can view those files on your PC?

I see an export option in Quill but not a sync option but maybe I'm missing something.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidAble:
When you find the trifecta, please let me know. My current system is using LectureNotes and syncing to Dropbox. I am also manually exporting to pdf and saving in OneNote to keep it up to date in case MS blows everything away with a fully functional android app.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeggen:
So I've been using LectureNotes which works in the following instance.

1) Install a sync program, I use Dropsync, to sync local folders on a schedule or automatically with Dropbox and setup a folder for sync with Dropbox.

2) Setup LectureNotes to use this folder (or just setup Dropsync to point to the LectureNotes folder)

3) Notebooks create folders in that folder. Each page for the notebook is a PNG file. If you use single layer notes then you can obviously view this file elsewhere. Notes with more than one layer use multiple files so obviously that can complicate things.

I like to use lecture notes to take a "scanned" image of a handout and put it on one layer and then write text on top on another layer so this doesn't work for that but it does work for simple notes. I can't view the PNG files on the tablet for some reason but have no problem opening them on my PC.
[Microsoft Surface] garak0410:
I am pretty excited about the Surface. So much so that I just sold my fun (but still not business useful) ASUS Transformer Prime with the keyboard dock for $475. Not a bad resale price. Now, to wait and wait and wait for the Surface prices and preorder.

My plan is to get an RT version for my "tablet" needs and then an Ultrabook with touchscreen or good touchpad with PRO on it when it is released. Also going to try Windows Phone 8 and leave Android (still like Droid) behind.

Does anyone expect it to be any day now on the prices/pre-order news?
[Microsoft Surface] redthunda69:
I'm trying to sell mine for that price. Where'd you fetch that?
[Microsoft Surface] garak0410:
Sold it on Amazon...went in less than 24 hours. Now that money is waiting to be traded for a Surface. I wish more info would come out about if we can pre-order and where we can buy online. All I know is it goes on sale in Microsoft Stores (and pop up holiday stores) Midnight on the 26th. I am nowhere near one so I want pre-order info!
[Microsoft Surface] redthunda69:
Thanks for the info! I just listed mine on amazon as well! Looking forward to some windows surface to compliment my zune collection!
[Microsoft Surface] garak0410:
You are right...it was about $450.00 which is still good after shipping (which is far more expensive then the credit they give you.) I always ship with insurance too.
[Microsoft Surface] garak0410:
Oh and the minute you hear any pre-order announcement or prices, post it here.
[Microsoft Surface] redthunda69:
I'll try to do that and send you a PM if I see anything!
[Microsoft Surface] garak0410:
I saw this today...they are expecting a $399.99 OPP. I assume that will be for 32 gig and I want 64, so I am expecting that to be $499.99.

You never know. MS is known for lowering the price of their products to gain customer base earlier on. They might do that with the surface since they can handle a small loss. They did it with the xbox and now look how many people bought and play the 360.

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dassen:
Been trying to use a couple of different launchers, with no success...

I've been able to install the launchers I found and liked however when installed on the New Kindle Fire ( Running 10.1.13 )

I dont get the option to select which launcher I would like to use when the home button is pressed or when I reboot the device.

I don't have the device rooted ( theres no root out yet and Sadly I cannot root myself )

So if anyone could figure out a method that works It would most likely help alot of people who just bought the device and are having issues with the bookshelf layout....
[HTC One X] shadehh:
A friend has a nandroid backup of his stock ROM, however, when he did the backup he had already installed cwm. Thus meaning that he doesn't have stock recovery on his phone.

Now my question is, is it fine to use a stock recovery from another stock ROM or will this intervene?

Thank you
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
The roms do not come with a recovery.

Restore the nandroid with cwm and in the cwm sticky post in development section there are links to the stock recoveries of the different basebands. Grab the one from which version he has

You can check with fastboot getvar mainver

Then flash with fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] haoleflip:
Hello! This question has probably been asked, but I put the title in and it didn't come up in similar threads.....

I just got my SGS3 a couple of weeks ago and I love it so far. I am currently looking for a nice deodexed, debloated Jellybean ROM. I am looking for one that has great battery life, sleek features and preferably everything in working condition with no bugs. Which is the best? Which are you currently using? I ask your opinions please w/ supporting statements as to why you love your ROM. Thanks ahead of time for the answers!

[HTC One X] promethieus:
As the title states, I finally got the prompt to do an update for phone, from Orange, but when I set it to install it, it reboots and says failed.

I think it is due to me having CWM on the phone, so it cannot do a clean restart, how do I get passed this, if anyone has a How To for this please help me, also will I be able to save all the apps, messages, contacts and settings on the phone.I have stock Rom on phone.

All and any help much appreciated in advance.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Duh! You need stock recovery. You need to unlock your phone again and flash stock recovery with this command

Fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Relock and try again
[HTC One X] promethieus:
Hi there, I am already unlocked, so do I have to Lock it again, then flash stock Rom.

Will I have to lose my apps and settings.

Sorry for the noob questions, but this phone is new to me so I don't know the correct way.

Seems a bit over the top to start off with Duhh, just because I don't know, so therefore I need to ask to know, I am a brainy person, but still I would rather ask for the right way rather than guess and brick my £400.00 phone.

Thankyou for your reply, but I still need help on this.
[HTC One X] shadehh:
Sorry. Well you need to have stock rom as well as recovery. Once you have both you have to relock your phone and try to update again
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
You do not need to relock to apply ota update. Just have the stock recovery and then try again. There are links to the stock recoveries of different versions in the cwm sticky
[HTC One X] promethieus:
All done Update installed, but I did do a backup of things, but when I got things back up and running again, it did not save my maps and such, I work as a mobile care support person, so the maps were important to me, so I wil have to find a better way to do things.

I also had to try to remember usernames and passwords, I never write any down. but its a shame that an image of phone, os and everything can not be done, so as not to have to put them in again, so that everything works straight off the bat.

Thanks for any and all advice, great forum here and alot of very helpful people.
[General Topics] dunderball:
Whenever I get into a debate with my friends over iPhone vs. Android, I always point out that I don't have an issue with the devices themselves, I just simply find Android OS to be far better than iOS, which I won't go into now.

While I love my GS3, I never thought the iPhone was a bad device, although the screen is a little small.

Is it possible to port Jelly Bean to an iPhone 5? I think that would be kind of sick. I searched around for a thread but did not see anything beyond a port that was on an iPhone 3G. Is it something specific that prevents this from happening, such as a locked bootloader, different kernels, etc?

And as an Android user, would any of you ever be interested in something like this?

And while I imagine this is a pretty stupid question I hope someone might be able to entertain this. Thanks.

[Motorola Photon 4G] jbot81:
So far, Motorola's best response to us betrayed Photon owners was that they would buy our devices back for $100. After my initial excitement of Motorola's unending generosity died down, I realized that $100 isn't so generous after all.

-- Sprint will give you $63 for your phone.

-- Samsung will give you $75 for your phone. samsungupgrade.com

-- HTC will give you $75 for your phone. htctradeup.com

-- As of 10/2 used Photons are selling on ebay in good condition for more than $100 (search past listings for Photon 4G)

Essentially, excluding what you can get if you go to the trouble of selling your Photon on ebay, Motorola is giving us an extra $25, since they are requiring us to send in a device that does have some value elsewhere. Is $25 enough for you to stay a Motorola customer? That is certainly up to you. But you should at least be aware that other major phone manufacturers are not far off, and may very well provide better support.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Thanks for the info. If I stay with Android (in spite of horrendous fragmentation), I go back to HTC. If not Android, I'll reconsider WP8 (had used WinMo up until 1.5 years ago).

I love my Photon HW, so really a shame what Moto has done.
[Motorola Photon 4G] xNicoyAx:
I called Sprint and walked into a store asking if the Motorola credit was offered on top of the $63 they give you. They said they are not aware of any Motorola credit.
[Motorola Photon 4G] findthedr:
refer them to this: https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/ci/documents/detail/2/motorola-jelly-bean-rebate_en-US
[Motorola Photon 4G] Demonlinx:
Is it even a credit?

I don't know if getting your rebate is contingent on it or not but on the website they bring up "If your phone is not updated to Jelly Bean we don't want you to miss out." Does this mean that they won't give the rebate if they do update your phone to JB?? Not sure, but I'd watch how they word their rebate contingencies.
[Motorola Photon 4G] ATRIXXIRTA:
It also requires you to purchase, or upgrade to another Motorola. So it's not really a credit, lol. You have to give up your phone, PLUS get another moto device, just to be eligible. I'll never go back to moto simply because they've started doing the stupidest thing ever and designed all they're new phones with built in batteries, my arch nemesis!! lol. They can keep they're money, and I'll keep my atrix.
[Motorola Photon 4G] matriX1218:
Agreed ...

It's not 100$ credit but they are actually making you to spend another/more bucks for upgrade ... why we upgrade if they failed to update :confused:

I've bought few months back then why i upgrade and spend more bucks for the same failed brand ... :mad:

[Motorola Photon 4G] fester30:
I'm probably switching carriers, and probably going to get another Moto device. I love the radio/antenna/whatever it is that helps with reception, and the feel and build quality. I'm loving the way the droid razr maxx hd looks. I'm loving the other carrier at the moment. I know they screwed us on the Photon, but for the new phones they already seem to be doing better. Samsung took over a year to upgrade Epic 4g to gingerbread. They appear to have learned from that as the galaxy s3 looks to be getting JB before too long. Moto upgraded the Razr to ICS a couple months ago, and the Razrs are all supposed to get JB by the end of the year. The Photon Q is one of the three phones on the first round of devices that get officially unlocked bootloaders. You have to go to a website and enter a device ID to get the files, or something like that. But it has the unlockable bootloader like the developer edition. I know VZ hates unlocked bootloaders, but other than the RAZR maxx, I'll be looking at the next nexus devices. I don't dev much anyway. I have always like stock kernels with custom ROMs. They have always seemed more stable to me anyway.

I guess my point is this bad experience isn't enough for me to give up on Moto, because I'm not willing to go back to flimsy loss of signal phones, and I think in the future they'll be better. Just takes some time for them to get their crap together with the problems and then the Google purchase.
[Motorola Photon 4G] SlowCobra96:
Unfortunately for Sprint users many of your pluses don't apply. I haven't had a good signal in at least 4 months. I keep hearing the wonderful line "we're doing networks upgrades so there's nothing we can do ". The other day it took 7 minutes to make a phone call when I had a strong signal showing.

In addition to that the photon is now 2 OS upgrades behind. Many of us purchased a Motorola phone because of the promised upgrades. Piss poor customer service makes many of us quite hostile and unwilling to forgive the lies.
[Motorola Photon 4G] JustinHoMi:
I guess I didn't realize that you had to turn your phone in to get the $100. That is pretty worthless then.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Sprint wouldn't be. It's not a Motorola credit, it's a Verizon credit.

To qualify, you have to trade in your phone, as others have said... and you have to buy a Verizon-exclusive Motorola smartphone. The plan will be fully realized by the end of the month -- it is not currently available in any case. But I imagine it will actually be done through Verizon. That is, you sign up for service, buy the phone, and Verizon gives you the Motorola form, and you mail in your proof of purchase, the barcode from the phone box with ESN/IMEI, and your Photon/Atrix/Electrify, and Motorola mails you $100 (in the form of a Visa/MC gift card with nasty fees of course!). US Cellular does a similar song and dance with its rebates. BTW, US Cellular has a standard rebate of $100 off a new smartphone. This can vary but that's the usual amount. Although their advertised prices are minus this rebate, so you pay the advertised price plus $100 up front and get the $100 in two months. I was lucky and got an instant rebate sale -- Electrify for $150 out the door. At tax time. Yeah, I scored. :victory:
[Motorola Photon 4G] Lokifish Marz:
I really need verification on this! If anybody has a PDF or screencap PM me. If this is true then we may be able to step things up a bit.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Jungle Jack:
Hello,

I got absurdly lucky and sold my Photon for $250. I included a 32gb SD Card, and Otterbox Defender. I still cannot believe I got that as Sprint offered me $67 for it. I am still so pissed about ICS as I actually was going to hold on to the phone even though I purchased an iPhone 5.
