Hey all, I'm new to the Galaxy Nexus. When you wipe data does that wipe your internal storage as well? As in the mnt/SDcard partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] I Am Marino:
No. Your content is in data/media

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 3rdstring:
In a custom recovery, no. I believe stock recovery will wipe everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
Yup if you're on stock recovery, it'll delete everything except things like ROM and kernel

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Just to add some detail:

When you wipe data (or factory reset) using a stock recovery, it wipes the entire userdata partition (which is mounted as /data in Android). The userdata partition is where all your data is stored included anything stored in /sdcard. [It does not touch any other partition. So if you have a custom ROM, doing a factory reset will not magically restore the stock ROM. Same thing for the other partitions.]

When you wipe data (factory reset) using a custom recovery, it deletes all files in /data except the files in /data/media (which is mounted as /sdcard in Android).

Try Xenon HD

I try xenonhd rom since 2 month and i'm very satisfy. is stable and butter and not bad with battery. fully customize, and dev works hard to upgrade it. now is upgrade to jb 4.1.2

also codename android (CM) like jellysnap i think is good. but i didnt try it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pepper67:
You really think youll get a single answer to that question? Anyway that someone has somehow tried every rom despite how often they change will probably have a different opinion from the next guy.

Personally I use JBSourcery after starting on cm10, has so many more features it makes cm10 look like stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyokeun1234:
We can tell our favorites, but the best ROM is what's best for YOU. Try all of them and stick with what you enjoyed

That said, I find cm to be most stable if you ask me.

Hey

Here is briefly what I did

Have t-mobile htc one s

1. Unlocked the Bootloder with Hasoon 2000's

2. Flashed a recovery with it as well CWS 5.8.2.4 Touch

3. Installed Black Dragon 5, didnt like it so

4. Installed Cynogen Mode 10 for One s

5 All went well but when I reboot all it does is stay on the Cynogen Logo loop.

6. The kicker is, i didnt backup Black Dragon so I can revert back. I got another ROM but now the biggest issue is that I can't mount the phone to my PC and add the new ROM zip to the sdcard to install it again.

7. Help, I am out of options
[HTC One S] ICWS:
Did you flash boot image seperately?

You have to if your hboot is higher than 1.13. To find out which hboot you're on you need to boot into bootloader.

Or you can flash one of the official RUUs, but you need to relock bootloader first. This way ALL of your data will get lost (except sd-card) and you have to do the root-procedure all over again.

Hi!

I'm on modpunk's Alpha1, and doesn't work the hotspot. I can connect with my laptop, but there's no internet connection. I have tried many 'possible solution' but nothing.

I was wondering if it's problem of my laptop, and I tried with the HotSpot of another device, and it works. Also I proved to connect another phone through my phone and doesn't have connection. Appears the wifi icon, but doesn't work!

PD: I have internet in my phone, and I can navigate fine. I have proved changing the APN but doesn't work neither.

Since I can not post here:

[rom] Unofficial CyanogenMod 10 for many AllWinner A10 tablets

because no matter I'm in IT over 15 years I have no 10 posts here, which is quite uncool from XDA, I have to ask here:

I have an Elf, started to hack from with the latest factory firmware (updated with LiveSuit).

Then I decided to have Christian Troy's JellyBean.

I had trouble to get ClockWorkMod running, for example Novotools_v1.0.apk said not enough Internal storage. Finally I managed with

Terminal Emulator_1.0.41.apk and a10_recovery.zip 3 files with these two commands:

su install-recovery.sh

su reboot-recovery.sh

After rebooting to CWM I made a full wipe, than installed these in order:

cm10_a10_20120913.zip

gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

elf_compatibility_1.2.0.zip

After rebooting I see the animated CyanogenMod 10 logo, than I should choose language onscreen.

Though hardware keys work (power, volume), touch screen is not responding!

Actuall I dropped it as well after the last reboot, so now I'm not sure if this touch problem is related to CM10 or the drop.

Do you have any ideas what to do?
[General Questions and Answers] post-mortem:
Flash back to stock to verify if your touchscreen is working. If yes, make sure you don't need to flash a different kernel for your device.

Also, try flashing like you did before, but without gapps. Possibly, your /system partition gets full, so the elf_compatibility thing fails.

-- Sent from my TouchPad using Communities
[General Questions and Answers] DoubleDroz:
I am in the no touch screen boat too. I'm running an elf, but thought I'd try the aurora compatibility files too. Unfortunately, no dice. Flashing back to 4.0.4 stock firmware brings the touchscreen back. More installs of the cm10 for a10 don't help...

Anyone that successfully flashed Christian troy's cm10 build into Ainol Elf 1 care to say which rom they upgraded from? That would be awesome...
[General Questions and Answers] jan99:
Same problem here with Aurora 1 with nightly CM10: no touch :(
[General Questions and Answers] DoubleDroz:
Success!

OK, managed to trouble-crash my way through to a solution - hopefully it'll help you get to where you were going too...

The first thing I did was try to find the Feiyu ICS *LIVESUIT* image dated 0429. I also downloaded the compatibility patch for the elf - Aurora users won't need this, obviously.

I'm pretty sure this gives you a big enough /system partition, even though using the latest Ainol 4.0.4 firmware allegedly gave me enough.

Anyway, boot into CWM and do a Factory reset *twice*. I then did a cache format, dalvik wipe, battery stats wipe just for good luck. Fix permissions too - who knows why, I just do these things.

I installed the earliest preview release of the ChristianTroy cm10 for a10, installed the compatibility file for the elf (1.2...) , did a cache format, dalvik wipe, reboot... and... touch screen worked! I then installed the *final* cm10 from the ChristianTroy thread.

seems pretty nice, although trebuchet keeps crashing along with lots of my apps. Might use a different launcher.

perhaps cm9 is better? I'll give it a go...

TL;DR - install the livesuit image of the Feiyu ICS rom 0429. Then flash the other things you need. Worked for me, but, as ever, YMMV
[General Questions and Answers] EG0:
Seems like HW problem, went back to Elvish 0.4, still no touchscreen... :(

[General Questions and Answers] skydeaner:

It was the Elf 1

---------- Post added at 02:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

The files can be found at *double u, double u, double u dot* ainol-forum.de *slash* ainol-novo-7-aurora-1-i-2-ii *slash* roms-novo-7-aurora-1-i *slash* 302-rom-aurora-v1-feiyu-mod-0429 *slash*

Don't download from the 115 links - they're all locked up. The mirrors work, however.

If you have an Elf, get the Aurora v1 rom. Get the Livesuit Version, and install using... Livesuit.

If you have an Elf, you must also download the Elf Patch, which you install using CWM once you've installed 0429 through LiveSuit.

Give it a shot.

Sorry for the delay - been doing other things!

PS I can't directly put in a link because XDA won't let me - I don't have enough posts - but I've changed it so you can pretty obviously work out the url. Okie dokes?

Splinter Cell

Sadly Splinter Cell has been removed by Gameloft in fact almost all android Gameloft games from that era have been removed. There has been no update to the titles to even work on modern devices, like the powerful Nexus 7 and it's second incarnation (my favorite tablet BTW it has the brightest screen and most DPI and best colors over any any hand held device. Full 1080p). But a side gem idk if your a id software fan but Darkplaces (a modern Quake engine that been being built for years now) has been ported to android and iOS. Darkplaces allows Quake games to be played with normal mapping and full dynamic lighting. You can even load alot of mods (smoke, fog, rain, particle flame efx) you might have lying around straight into the engine. The author has also ported Doom 3 which looks very nice on the Nexus 7 2013 ed. And FYI in case you didn't know with the Nexus 7 (both versions) you can grab a OTG cable for 5 dollars on amazon and play your games with a Xbox controller, and the Nexus 7 2013 ed you can plug it into your HD TV and use it as a monitor. Makes me want to throw my Xbox out in the street. Darkplaces and Doom 3 can found on the Google market place. No Splinter Cell has had me bummed for a few years now. But hopefully this will provide some pretty entertainment in its place.

---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 AM ----------

Alternatively there is "Onlive" for android let's you play new high end games on any android device. I use it on my old 2010 phone. Its like stream but instead of downloading game files it simply streams the audio and video to your device. I can't remember if Splinter Cell Conviction is still one of its playable games but it was at one time. You can download it for free and even watch other players live around the world playing titles like Batman or Darksiders. Keep in mind you have to pay for subscription but feel free to see if they have titles you like play demos to check to see if your internet can handle the data. Cause you need a good solid net connection if your looking for Xbox or PlayStation quality graphics. Hope these post help ya out.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nuwidol:
So, here's the situation.

I snapped one of the sim pins with a micro sim adaptor & sent the phone off to idealmobiles.com to get a new sim tray fitted.

When it came back (yesterday) the phone booted but within 5 seconds rebooted on its own. After around 30 odd attempts of trying to get into recovery or download mode I finally managed to boot into download mode & managed to flash stock 4.0.4 through Odin (was previously running JB from BlackCNA). The flash went fine but the phone wouldn't boot & got stuck on Samsung logo. Still couldn't get into download or recovery although I kept trying as I had managed to get in to download once. Finally got back in to download & flashed stock 4.0.3 but that still wouldn't boot & got stuck on the Samsung logo again. This is where I'm at now. I have a GB ROM ready to try & flash but obviously I'm struggling to get to download mode again.

Is there anything else I can do or try?

I phoned Ideal Mobiles to see what was going on & they guy was a complete idiot. He said I had broken it & it was fine when he sent it back. I literally turned it on as soon as I picked it up from the Post Office & it didn't work straight away. He actually started shouting & swearing at me & then hung up. Worst customer service I've ever experienced. The phone is completely unusable now where as before it did everything except make calls & I've had to pay for this to happen...

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jimmy870:
I have a gps problem with my hd2 t-mobile but it doesn't have anything to do with gingerbread. Specifically, if the phone get a little warm, gps stops responding. I don't get any errors like not finding the gps but no satellites. Problem exists in NexusHD2 4.0.4 which I'm running from native sd and in windows mobile. If I reboot the phone and go straight to wm and run a gps test no satellites. If I shut down the phone and turn it on immediately no satellites. If I shutdown and let it cool down or force it to cool down (lay in on an Icepack) It works (until it warms up again) than nothing. If I cool it down without restarting (lay it on the icepack) it doesn't come back. I already suspect the worst but still asking.

In any case I've got a globalsat external bluetooth gps which is far more accurate than the internal gps. I was just hoping on avoiding using it in inconvinient situations. I currently have two hd2's one of which is a new t-mobile with overheating problem and the GPS problem and the other an older hd2 non t-mobile with the funny color patches on the screen and I don't think I'm going to go in the HTC direction again.
