Hey guys

Curious Really. I LOVE my Sensation and these ROMS, but im really addicted to flashing ROMS. Constantly having to wipe, format, reflash, backup is really stressful. I lose my texts and apps and so on. then updates come along, and there goes everythign again.

Yes, i do backup. But when restoring, usually unsuccessful.

What can i do? My dad works overseas, i gave him to phone to keep aside for 3 months and im using a Sony Ericsson C510a, that i had before. I became a perfectionist i guess. I dont want to see that phone for a while.

But close to getting it back, bought the white Sensation XE case, new screenprotector - plastic, not the ZAGG type. why did i ever go to these rubbery ones that scratch and glare and so on, WHY..

New white silicone case too, white earphones, completely changing the outlook when ill have it back.

Is it ridiculous? Ill be first to say absolutely. Freedom to do as you want, all it is.

I've been using Viper, but too many customizing options!!! :( I lose myself

Then update after update after update... and each is better than the other. Wipe. W..W..Wipe again and again.

Honestly, what can i do? Im desperate, i get headaches

I like sense, but is there a sense 4 ROM with lost of features and not that many customizing opptions?

I wanna try CM10 when i get the phone back, but maybe ill miss the sense 4 clock and weather.

Help? Id really appreciate it. Really.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Use titanium backup, usually restoring is a snap!! Customizations are a good thing! A very good thing! I also use viper Rom, updates are not a problem. I restore everything in a snap using titanium backup! There really is no problem here. You WANT a Rom that has a active development , you wouldn't want something that does not move forward with its development. That's the adventure, moving forward, changing things, advancing. It's all part of development. It's all good. I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you, just enjoy ! Do give T.B a try and I think it will make your restoration easier! Hope this helps and best wishes!

I recommend GO backup. Backup and restore sms, mms, contacts, call log, wifi access points, ringtones, apps + data all in one app at one touch of a button. Very easy to use.
[HTC Sensation] mrc90:
i'm using mybackup, it works very well, and never miss an application or a contact/message :good:

also worked when i updated from ics to jb ;)
[HTC Sensation] gustav30:
Or get a phone with a locked bootloader, or windows phone. It will be a tough detox, but the addiction will pass and you'll wonder what to do with all your free time.
[HTC Sensation] chc31:
Thanks for the tips guys! Sorry for the late reply, busy with exams!

Absolutely customization is a good thing, it means you own the thing (Not like iPhone.. ahem..). I always tell people to get androids and not those things, and say "You wanna know what an iPhone is? Here (i click on my appdrawer, swiping through it), "This is an iphone"

But its the restlesness about it. The TB, is it the full version? Because the free was 1 by one. I should buy it then, why not?

And i love the idea og GO Backup too (plus its free :P ) However the ratings seem low as of some recent update, anything happened? Can you link me to it just to make sure i got the right one? Some with the same names.

Mybackup was the one that freezed on me lol. It used to be fine, then it doesnt restore completely. Or once the screen shuts off, it stops... orrrrr, it still doesnt restore completely haha.

Oh i had a winmo... Made me depressed haha, thats a LACK of custoomization and even the basic theming. But android is cool :)

So my ear mouth piece stopped working any solutions to this or do I have to unroot and relock my phone and go back to stock to have it fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lathanub:
Does speakerphone still work? Have you flashed a new kernel recently? I thought I had a kernel issue but it turns out my phone continuously thinks a headset was plugged into it and only loudspeaker worked for calls. My phone is now being fixed under warranty and they are replacing the auxiliary/speaker module.

Get a headset blocker app and try a call, see if the Mic and headphone speaker work then.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bostonbassman78:
They work just fine now for some reason but the issue I'm having now is my screen is staying on at all times unless its plugged into a charger I'm just gonna have to revert to stock and have them look at it
[Atrix 4G General] tamuin:
Mods, feel free to move this to the Development forum.

Briefly:

I think that if any phone is going to do double duty as a computer then it needs some sort of trash can / recycle bin. The libtrash package looks ideal for device with one user (like a phone), but I have not been able to get it to work. It is a pre-load lib that intercepts a request to delete a file and moves it to a trash / recycle folder.

Maybe some with better skills than me can figure out how to do this. A quick howto for libtrash can be found here: netfrag.org/docs/topics/caesar/mini-howto_trashcan-under-Linux_libtrash.html

Some additional discussion:

I have been using the Atrix4G for quite a bit of real work using a lapdock (while trveling) and a media dock (hooked up to a dedicated mouse, keyboard, monitor and speakers at the office). I run debian in a chroot'd jail which has allowed me to install libreofffice (from backports), gimp and a few others.

Unfortunately, android does not have a trash can / recycle bin. At first I didn't think this would be much of an issue because I seldom dig stuff out of the trash, but I have found out that diging things out of the trash is a lot easier than running test disk (or what ever your favorite un-delete program is) to recover from a mistake.

I looked at the dumpster app in the market / google play, but I did not like it for a couple of reasons, one of which is that it only works for /sdcard (i.e. not /sdcard-ext or anything else), it also seems to be create quite a bit of network traffic, which seems really odd because it does not display any ads (other than an ad for itself).

I played around with gvfs-trash for a while (do a ps -e | grep gvfs and you will see gvfsd-trash running on your Atrix), but I could not get it to create the trash folders on the sdcards. Also, I was not sure the the implementation of nautilus that the Atrix uses in webtop supports gvfs-trash.

Hey guys. I have read a lot of people saying they use the light flow app. Well i tried it out. And im wondering how to enable the custom duration settings?

No matter what i select the option is always greyed out and unselectable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Just curious. I've had my S3 since day 1 and never downloaded a software update...basically just flashed custom ROMs and avoided that.

Just curious if there would be any benefit to flashing back to stock, updating, re-rooting and going from there? Or would it not make a difference? I've already flashed the HD modem if that matters ,running liquid smooth RC3 currently.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
it shouldnt make any difference.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoelChanning:
I have searched for this on xda dev, and there are many posts about ICS devices showing "Battery usage data not available" when in the ICS Setting... Battery screen. With this bug, there is no way to display the battery % usage for individual android OS processes or Apps.

The posts I've read seem to suggest that it's a ICS bug, and has no fix.

However, for my device (Motorola Atrix HD (MB886), over at the Motorola forums, 2 people are saying/showing that their ICS Atrix HD do show the battery usage data for the processes and Apps. (however, neither person has an idea of how to fix the bug in my phone).

First is a generic screenshot of what the battery usage data screen should/would look like..

cow.neondragon.net/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Android-Battery-ICS-168x300.jpg

And here is what my screens show... (these are screenshots from my phone)

After taping Settings... Battery this screen shows:

howardforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=85416&d=1349744904

If I tap on the graph, the screen changes to show this:

howardforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=85417&d=1349744924

And there is nothing that can be tapped in order to show the battery usage for individual processes/Apps.

ALSO, is the issue that this second screen shows activity for "Mobile network signal", when in fact my phone does not have a SIM installed.

I believe the activity started around the time when I added a few wireless toggle widgets to the phone.

(a side-question, is why the battery graph shows changes between when the phone was on. After being turned off, the battery was continuing to be used. Why is this)

Question - is how to troubleshoot these 2 issues. I have about 5 days of experience with smartphones/android, but I'm a fairly quick learner if I can just be shown directions or clear information.

I am getting a SD card so I can backup my phone, in order to try a factory reset.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoelChanning:
did the "factory data rest", and the screen's function is the same. The screen also still continues to show activity for "mobile network signal", though the phone still has no SIM installed.

:confused:

Im trying to help a friend who bricked his phone and have gone through the htc one v forums: q&a, general, and development.

So i posted once requesting the ruu for the cricket htc one v but i haven't gotten a response back yet in regards to that, but an RUU for cricket doesn't seem to yet exist.

I tried running the "primo c sprint ruu" which is cdma version but it runs about halfway then states that its the wrong version of the rom for the phone.

Right now im stuck and not sure which direction to head. I can access the bootloader but thats about it. Is the phone stuck until an RUU is released?

Again, if anyone knows the answer to my question please point me in the right direction. I appreciate your time. thank you
[HTC One V] ckpv5:
There is no RUU for cricket yet... at least in XDA.

Why don't you try a cdma custom rom ? If it runs at least you have a working phone until RUU comes out.

Does anyone know how to modify the transparency of the notification bar header? I've tried editing drawables.xml but no luck and I cant seem to find a png linked to it. Any ideas? I've only had this problem on BAMF ROM. I've uploaded the theme chooser apk im using if someone wants to take a look.

Thanks

In the pic below it looks fully opaque, but it's not.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:

That tutorial if for the status bar. I'm talking about the drop down notification header.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mach3.2:
It should some what be the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chopper the dog:
notification_header_bg.9 is not included as a themed item in that apk you provided. To add it you would need to decompile the bamf apk add in edited image and add appropriate lines to the systemUI xml and recompile and sign. You know though if you make it trans it's gonna look pretty funny with all that crap overlaying.

good day.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ssmcd:
Haha thanks man, I cant believe I didn't find that png. That's all i needed. It's strange because with other themes I've only needed to change the color in the drawable.xml, there was no png. Right now it's transparent and looks like crap on my phone with purple tint. I'm changing it to be fully opaque.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] grubbyfoot:
Allright so I have a 16GB nook tablet and it has been bricked. So bricked that I dont know how to fix it. I have tried to use a bootable SD with repart.img on it several times, including reformatting and recreating the bootable SD. It goes thru the whole process, and then powers off. When I power it up, it says "installing your new software" hesitates for a second, and then gives me a screen that says something to the effect of "Your new software could not be installed. Please restart and try again". The frustration is incredible. If anyone has experience with this, please help. If not, Devs get at me as I will donate my paperweight so that you guys can figure out how to keep people from dealing with this crap. Thanks.

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] Solar.Plexus:
Try to flash a new ROM internally using your bootable CWM SD. It's worth a shot, and it might give us more information.
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] liquidzoo:
Just a thought...what happens when you just reboot without an SD Card? Does it give that error message every time?

When did you buy your NT?

They all have a 1 year warranty (unless you bought the extended warranty) and you might be able to just go into a BN, say that you tried an update and something went wrong and now it won't boot. Provided you bought it less than a year ago and the manager agrees (in the store it's up to the manager, if you try online you can probably get it right away) you can get a new (well, reconditioned) NT.

I've done it, and it worked. New one works great.

Yeah tried it. The manager was a ****. I took it out back and filled it fulla .308 lead lol. Thanks guys for trying to help

Is anyone else experiencing an issue with NFC/Android Beam not showing up on Jedi Knight 3? The weird thing is it has not been consistent. One instance of flashing this ROM and I had the feature available, but it was only the once, unfortunately I can no longer get that feature to appear in my settings. Any suggestions?

EDIT: So after trying to use Tweakbox and doing Hot Boot my phone got stuck during boot. I was going to try Darkside as I have heard it is supposed to fix the boot-stuck issue. I accidentally downloaded the wrong Darkside tools and it erased my ROM. Re-flashed the ROM and da-da-da-daaa NFC/Android Beam are right there....the only thing I did differently this time? I waited 20 minutes after flashing instead of 10...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gypsy214:
Are you sure you that it was on that build or on the old one? I've seen devs taking NFC feature off before
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jacodaburr:
That was something I began to consider but then realized that at one point, after flashing this ROM the NFC was there. I have also spoken with the developer and he is unsure as to why either. I am not really sure I need it right now though because it seems like it is still too new, my brother and his fiance both have the S2 and I tinkered with their Android Beam a bit, but was somewhat displeased about the inability it seemed to have when it came to sharing pictures, videos, or music in your gallery. YouTube, Facebook, the browser and stuff like that was great for it but it didn't seem so much the same when it came to personal files.

Vralhd is the radio, if you're still on cleanrom it might have installed cleankernel. I don't think it supports qmg but I could be wrong. Which bootanimation is showing when booting? Also check data/local and see if there's a bootanimation.zip in there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1797056

This thread has links to the international s3 animation and I believe the other link is the stock animation in qmg. If qmg still doesn't work and the intl one does then your Rom/kernel probably doesn't support qmg.
