[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcgo:
can't delete old backups

I just realized that CWM has a problem on Nexus 7. Can't delete old backups!! You can't delete files in the CWM backup folder thru file explorer, terminal with SU or ADB. For that, and so many other performance reasons, I dropped CWM faster than drunk girl in stilettos. TWRP is what I use on my Galaxy S2 and I just love it. You can queue up several zips for install in order, like: 1) TDJ cache wipe, 2) install ROM, 3) install Gapps, 4) TDJ cache wipe again. then, come back 2 minutes later, and you're ready to reboot. ALso, TWRP has a file manager in recovery, so you can actually delete those annoying backup folders that CWM won't even let you delete. TWRP FTW.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] philippecr:
I also notice that TWRP has the nice backup options for "System/Boot/Data" backup only. So I can clean backup my rom without all those apps(which is HUGE)

guess I'll need to put back TWRP in my Nexus 7 again.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozenspark:
TWRP. I tried the latest CWM but even the touch version is not that good for me. Also the De duplication backup of CWM is just not quite right in my opinion. In my experience, leaving thousand files in the sd card is causing performance problems compared to just few large files.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
If I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager and then Reboot into Recovery from Rom Manager, I go right to cwm recovery. I have tested making and deleting nandroid backups there and it works just fine. My backups consist of a folder containing 5 files including an md5 checksum so I don't know what people are talking about with 'thousands of files'. I think the people criticizing CWM don't know how to use it. I just make sure I flash Clockworkmod Recovery in Rom Manager before I Reboot into Recovery. Works every time. I don't use the Touch version, just plain old Rom Manager v5.0.2.1 and CWM 6.0.1.0.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
I had installed CWM first, but now I changed to TWRP and I like it much more. With an USB-stick connected you have the possibility to backup / restore ROMs from there directly, which makes much more sense than backing up to internal memory. Also the other options provided for install / backup / restore are well done. Really nice work!

Hi together,

I'm trying to root my Huawei Vision U8850. There seems to be only very little information about this phone available, and I've had no luck so far trying various methods.

I've tried SuperOneClick 2.3.3, UnlockRoot, DooMLoRD v4 and some other batch scripts, with no avail. The problem seems to be that the phone is running with Android 2.3.7, and most of the tools are using the Zerg Rush exploit, which seems to have been fixed in 2.3.7.

Zerg Rush always returns a "[-] Hellions with BLUE flames" message, which I suppose means that it failed.

Does anybody know a way of how to get root for this phone?

I've found a Chinese(?) forum where they asked the same question it seems, but I couldn't register there without some sort of code. Maybe somebody knows actually Mandarin/whatever.

I've found a Russian forum with quite much activity regarding the U8850 Vision. Problem is, I don't speak Russian, and registering on that forum requires you to input a Cyrillic CAPTCHA, which of course didn't work with Window's Character Map.

I've tried to translate the instructions on how to get root from this post: 4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=257207&st=1700#entry14246750

I am however not sure if I understood everything correctly, or if Google Translate was working correctly.

I'm also not sure what exactly the "Russian Channel" firmware will do to my phone (e.g. phone is only in Russion, keyboard is in cyrillic, GPS not working, etc).

The firmware can be found on the official Huawei page (alongside a "Japan softbank" version): huaweidevice.com/worldwide/technicaIndex.do?method=gotoProductSupport&productId=3812&tb=0

Below is my take on the instruction (which I haven't tried yet). Does this sound plausible to you?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spoonium:
*** NOTE ***

The forum software won't allow me to post links, and obviously it corrupts text links. So if there appears a space within a link, you have to remove it for the link to work.

Ok, I've successfully performed the root now by creating a custom firmware which includes su, busybox and Superuser.

I've uploaded the firmware here:

mediafire.com/?aaqs7vt7aavv3

To flash the firmware, you will need the "U8850 Upgrade Tool V1.8.4" from here:

ww*.huaweidevice.com/worldwide/downloadCenter.do?method=toDownloadFile&flay=software&softid=NDQwNjQ=

This will erase all of your user data, so save anything before you do this. And of course I'm

not

responsible if anything bad happens to your phone, all I can say is that it worked for me.

The firmware is based on a Slovenian one found here:

johnnyparanoia.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Huawei%20U8850

I've labelled this method the "Russian Root", because I found the initial instructions on a Russian forum. I've translated the instructions and added anything missing to it.

See below for a detailed instruction on how to create a custom rooted firmware for yourself.

I haven't noticed any particular problems which I could connect to the rooting process. Yesterday it did take the phone quite a while before getting a GPS fix, but it has done that before (seems to be a general problem for me, even with AGPS settings), but GPS itself was working fine after that.

I'm also having some issues where the internal partition (resp. the /system/ folder) reports an error that there's no space left on the device, e.g. when trying out AdAway instead of AdFree Android. And the latter was working fine.

Besides that, it's working fine. I can call / be called, camera is working, music is working, radio is working (if you can call that working).

I haven't figured out yet how to install the Clockworkmod Recovery yet though. It's still requiring a valid certificate for the update.zip on the Recovery screen, that hasn't changed.

Why not use Google+? It allows you to upload videos and whatnot. You can invite all of your family members to a family circle and share all of the horse show stuff.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kvswim:
There ARE programs for that on PC but not really for phones, there's not much demand plus the processors generally aren't very powerful making conversion painfully slow.

I'm just saying, if you convert a normal video down to 500kb you're going to have horrific quality and you won't be able to see ANYTHING.

[General Questions and Answers] zenneka:
Hi there...

I was searching info about this phone and to my surprise there is no forum for it.

Doing a little bit of research into the forums, i found that "a lot of people" are looking for this to happen, that XDA-Developers.com could create a forum specifically for this device.

I know there's still too early for modifications and stuff for the device, since the bootloader is blocked by motorola, BUT, that's where we can do something about it.

So, after reading a LOT of "why XDA-Developers doesn't open a forum for the device?", i thought, maybe is a good idea to see if there's enough people around REALLY looking for this to happen, and to help the XDA-Developers team see how much interest is in the XT615.

So there you have it, what are your thoughts about it?
[General Questions and Answers] American Graffiti:
We have been fighting for a XT165 own forum since months. There is a thread with more than 125pages, with some devs working on our device... so actually we got root, a cwm recovery, a 2nd init and some themes...

We need a bigger space, so we can talk about each topic in it own thread, making navigation more clear and easier for users. We need some help with the bootloader, cause it's still blocked. And with some luck and time, we can get ICS/JB in our devices.

[HTC One X] kamikaze666:
Hey guys,

I have a question for you all: what do you think of the HOX Power button in maters of how much it sticks out and how "clickable" it is ?

I used to have a Nexus S that had the power button on the side and it seemed a lot more ckable as well. Also, on my HOX it seemed slightly more raised on one side then the other, as if they had not cut it right... What strikes me as a bit strange is that after pressing it for a few times per day for the last couple of days, it seems to have leveled itself a bit and now sticks a little less out of the casing and now it actually kind of "clicks" when I press it.

Did any of you experience anything similar ?
[HTC One X] iang265:
I found it very hard to turn on when it came out of the box. It's been fine since then. It may have clicked into place or I might have my technique down. Either way, no issues here.

[HTC One X] meleelord:
The power buttons may vary a little one to device to another, although this can be expected when being assembled in factory.

I wouldn't worry about it though.

It shall loosen up over usage! I tend to notice these things as well and it can be quite annoying, but you just have to try and get it out of your mind and enjoy all the wonders the device has to offer at the end of the day! :D
[HTC One X] Neo3369:
Haha.. The first time I found someone who mentioned the uneven "sticking out" part! You're right even my HOX power button seems more "raised" on one side. For me the half of the button that is towards the corner of the HOX is LESS raised than the other end. I don't know is it sticks out now less than before, but it has never given me problems. By "Clicks" do you man an audible sound (which is strange) or the tactile feedback (which is normal)?
[HTC One X] kamikaze666:
By "clicks" I mean a small tactile feedback :D And the same thing appears on my HOX as well, the side of the power button near the corner of the device is less raised than on the other side and tends to go in a bit more when clicking the button... :)

To Everybody:

Thank you very much for your feedback. I was thinking that I am paranoid and now I have proof, haha... :) Thank you for giving me some peace of mind ;)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hiej:
Hi all,

generally we speak about GPU tweaks, WIFi tweaks, 3G tweaks etc...

about Bluetooth there's some useful tweaks to gain some communication speed?

I ask this because, I'm using Torque application to monitorize my car ECU (the phone interfaces with an OBD adapter over bluetooth).

The OBD adapter I use is the fastest available to now, when the phone is paired only with it I get about 70pid/sec max and 55 average (the data showed on the phone is very smooth and is like real-time) but if I pair also the onboard hands-free capability of my car the communication drops to 20-30 pid/sec and the ECU data showed on the phone some time is laggy and not like in real time.

There's the possibility to set the priority to a specific BT device when more than one device is paired?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeper:
I'm a guy with large hands who wants an insanely large phone. The two major issues I had, personally, with the Note were the pentile screen (people can argue all they want about how no one could possibly notice, I feel it's a cop-out. It's noticeable to me, big time, and going from a One X to anything pentile would just bug me to no end.) and the overall sluggishness.

Now I see reviews and articles saying that the Note II doesn't have a pentile subpixel arrangement, (granted it's not a traditional arrangement either, but it looks a LOT better, from what I have seen) and that it's ridiculously fast.

My caveats are nonexistent in the Note II, right?

Maybe...

I'm seeing now that there's some doubt about future Exynos development on the CM front, and not having stock Android is pretty much a deal-killer for me. (I haven't gone back to Sense on my One X since CM10 nightlies started up)

So I'm wondering:

What does the future of the Note II hold in regards to stock Android?

If I'm getting the AT&T variant, will there be impediments to unlocking/rooting/flashing ROMs on a Note II? (as there were and currently are with the One X, thanks to AT&T)

Also, has anyone here made the switch, or will you be making the switch from One X to Note?

Any info is greatly appreciated.

so all the CM10 and AOKP work is coming along really great. thank you so much to all the devs who are making that happen.

there are two major features from TouchWiz that I think should be implemented into AOKP/CM10 at least for our phone. I find them to be pretty much a necessity. First and foremost is WIFI calling!!!!! I know this HAS been done on the Sensation and mytouch4g and a few other phones so IT IS POSSIBLE!!!!! I dont have the skills to do it, but in the Questions section when I brought it up many people said they would donate to whoever makes this happen. I will definitely donate!

Is anyone out there able to make this happen?

Also, the second feature, which is less important but really handy, is being able to swipe down from the top while in a full screen app to access the notification bar. Id like this because when I am listening to music and go to play Fifa12, it stops the music. The only way to keep the music playing is to turn it on from the notification bar without leaving fifa. If anyone makes this happen I will CERTAINLY donate as well!
