[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] les_garten:
I am only interested in being able to have my desktop info reset up without redoing them all.

If you restore a Nandroid backup, with the system data it borks the new ROM install.

I just want something to restore my desktops, the rest I have covered.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jasonkhoo87:
you mean want to backup the widget? No software are able to do this task even you use other launcher with backup/restore feature.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] kam333:
as mentioned by Le Ch@land, titanium backup will back up your launcher/ desktop layout & folder content, however, the widgets will appear as a blank/ empty placeholders when you restore your setup, if you're using Nova launcher you can tap the widget placeholder to restore that widget.

also as jasonkhoo87 said, no app will restore widgets completely, this is an android limitation.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] les_garten:
Most of them are shortcuts,not widgets, or folders with shortcuts(app links)

and itis a mighty irritation.

I take screenshots and redo after a full wipe.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Themes and Apps] jasonkhoo87:
If u want to backup the shortcut, it is possible if u use other launcher. Not for TW launcher. I'm using Go Launcher and is able to restore the shortcut. I believe other launcher as well are same.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oxxshadow:
Hey Folks! :D. Recently I have been having some serious battery issues with my phone. It started when tired out Rootbox 2.9. The battery would just drain so quick... I lost 10% in 11 minutes. This was after a few cycles. So I decided to move on to Resurrection Remix ICS 2.7 Stable. I currently switched the kernel to Dorimanx 5.89. I am losing battery pretty quickly again. During the night when my phoen was asleep I lost 10 percent in battery! I don't think its an app causing this issue because I did not download any apps to test my theory. Any help would be greatly appreciated, because I used to get good battery life with Resurrection Roms! Maybe I should use the Dorimanx profiles? Thanks a ton! :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cnoevl21:
Since there is no sd card, when you flash a ROM and have to wipe data, do you lose all the stuff like music, pictures, and ringtones? If so, what do you guys use to make this not a pain. I can't imagine recompliling all the folders from what you have backed up on your computer is the best way. I have titanium backup, but isnt that really just for restoring your apps and contacts, not so much for things like music and ringtones etc.?

Also, does the CWM backup/recovery work with this phone? I come from a droid charge and the restore never really worked on that phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
its been answered a ton of times

your data in /sdcard/ (also known as /data/media/ ) is left alone when you wipe data/cache in cwm/twrp

restore works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierceye:
Your virtual SD card isn't wiped, so your photos and music are preserved. If you want a little extra assurance though, just back it all up to a Dropbox account. That way you always have access to it if something does go wrong during a wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DZYR:
What he says!

I have clockwork mod touch installed. For a fresh clean install, I wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and then install the zip from sdcard (the new ROM is itself stored on the sdcard).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] renzeasnyper:
In the sd card, the images, ringtones, data files will remain untouched also with a full wipe.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Be aware that wiping data/factory reset also wipes cache. And the need to wipe caches when flashing roms is a myth. They're hash signed by the rom at flash, different roms have different signatures, thus android will always be forced to rebuild them after a new rom has been flashed.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcast61:
Hey guys, excuse the noob question but I'm wondering why Toshiba Excite comes with regular Swype and the N7 doesn't?. I have Swype beta but I must say it's not the same. I also have an HTC Evo 3D and love the stock Swype I've flashed various roms and the absence of Swype always makes me go back, it's kinda a deal breaker for me. Swype beta has weird word suggestions, back button deletes whole word, any slight movement when tapping a letter is recognized as a Swype. Any chance it would b ported to the N7 or if any1 could help me with abusive of how to do it. Thanks

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
Bear in mind that what you're asking for is warez and is not allowed at xda. The version of Swype you're talking about is not licensed for use outside of the OEM channels and forums where it's been posted have received DMCA takedown notices.

Previously, i was able to download a file from dropbox and save it to my device. Maybe i'm just lost, but i dont see the option to do that. Also, when i was doing this previously, there was a folder called Dropbox in File Manager HD that kept (and synced) all of the items i downloaded from Dropbox. I dont see that now.
[Asus Transformer TF700] originalnabisco:
You can download (export) a file by either:

1) Long-pressing on a file and selecting Export, or

2) Pressing the down-arrow enclosed by a circle (on the right) of a file, and selecting Export

As for the folder-syncing, as long as i've used Dropbox on Android, they haven't supported folder synchronization. I think I've read somewhere that they used to support it, but took it out. There might be a 3rd party app on the Google Play store that you can get to emulate this feature though.

Hey... Sorry i don't know answer to your question...

But i have a question...

How you preconfig'd settungs in your rom...

Did you just replaced default wallpaper of your choice or you really preconfig'd it like app on launcher homescreen on first boot...

Can you share...:D

Hello!

I was wondering if you can share or point me in the right direction...

After I flash the ROM to have all the setting that I want.

I understand that you managed to get some of these things done.

Thanks :)

I would also like to Learn how to set defaults in your own custom built ROM! I thought it had something to do with the boolean values in the framework.apk , systemui.apk and the respective app's Boolean values but, it didn't quite workout for me. Am I wrong or is that how its done and am I missing something?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verixin:
Hello Everyone. I've got a simple question. From a couple of days I'm a "proud" owner of XDA Orbit II. But Windows Mobile was not good for me so I decided to install a Android from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=678102. It's works fine until I install apps from android market. To be fair everything is installing perfectly and the applications work really well, but when I'll restart the phone or just switch it on again, Android just won't work. Luncher starts reading files but it stops on : Failed to find system.img on SD card and the next line says : /bin/can't access ttyl job control turned off. And it;s just hangs there and I must reset the phone. And no matter how many times I'll try to start it again after installing apps this compilation just won't work. How can I use a Android on this phone without any problems and errors ? Maybe You guys and Girls will have a better Android for this phone or some solutions that improves this compilations ? O, by the way, is there any version of android for this phone which supports USB connection(in this one after connecting USB nothing happens, the battery is only charging), camera and blutooth ? I'll really appreciate Your answers and any help You can provided to me. This phone, maybe it's old, but means relay much to me and I'll try my best to make it work perfectly.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] casrocks:
Long story short, I need to get my phone to use some data from tmobile so their system recognizes my phone with my line, the LCD is broken and possibly the capacitive touch as well (although the capacitive touch buttons work somehow).

My master plan was to send multiple MMS messages to it, and call it a few times over a period of a couple days. I was running CM10, and flashed back to stock using ODIN, but now the phone is eternally on stock set up menu. My question is, if I send the phone MMS messages while in that initial start up menu, will it receive the messages and data so the system will recognize it?

Also any other methods to get it to receive data? Thanks in advance!

Without Unlocking Boot loader its impossible to root on GingerBread but in ICS you can root withought have your bootloader unlocked..

are you using .10 firmware or .54 firmware??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SahilTech:
If you are using .54 fw then flash the .10 fw via flashtool then use bin4ry tool to get root access. And then flash. 54 fw.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Not a n00b!!:
And also use binary ver 18.7

I experienced the same problem. My Xperia Sola can not be rooted event using binh4ry method. My Sola is using 4.0.4 android version, and has build number 6.1.1.B.1.54.

Hi SahilTech, the .54 fw that you said before,is the last 2 digits of build number?.. if it yes, where can I get the .10 fw?..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akp.ajinkya:
You can find all the firmwares and roms available for Sola HERE.

But to root you need not flash back to .10 firmware,you can just acquire root access by flashing .10 kernel->root using binary's methd->then again flash .54 kernel.

You can find both the kernel files HERE.

Hope this helps.

OK, I just took it a step at a time and all went well. A question:

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sportfreunde:
I decided to try and upgrade my galaxy tab 1010 to Gingerbread in the hopes that it would fix a problem which is that whenever I click on the power button to open my tablet (not to turn it on but just to resume from sleep or whatever), the screen lights up black and the bottom lights are on but it takes countless retries to get the thing to actually appear or it just stays black. Even a restart is not enough at times. This is causing me problems with updating because to make a CWM backup for example, it has to boot into the menu which I can no longer see after it shuts off. Sometimes it works fine, other times I give up trying to get the main screen to show up. I can click on the buttons at the bottom and get the vibration feedback and can also hear the audio going up/down when I click the volume buttons but often the screen will stay black.

The 2nd problem is that although I have Kies installed, every time I connect my device to my laptop (Windows 7), the laptop will install drivers for it separately. This is a problem because in Odin for example when I try to flash CWM on to there, after I've flashed it, it will turn off in order to reboot meaning that it disconnects from the laptop and when it boots back up, the laptop does not recognize. So to fix that 2nd problem, I need a way to install drivers on there so that my laptop always recognizes it rather than installing every time.

Thanks for any help....the black screen thing is really frustrating me and I've done some searches where others have black screen problems but their are usually different and the device won't come on at all in those cases rather than come on sometimes and not come on other times unless I try several times.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sportfreunde:
Good news is that I managed to upgrade to gingerbread with the root and it was working...Odin did the trick though still can't get anything going on Superoneclick on my Galaxy Player because it's not recognized when in USB debugging mode. Upgrading did fix the problem of the screen not coming on and staying black.

Bad news....installed bloatware removal tool, removed a few apps which I was sure were non-essentials (Samsung movie guide, visit Britain, couple more like that)....and it seems to have hard bricked. I found this tutorial on hard-unbricking but it's for the p1000, dunno if it would apply to the p1010: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1312391

If you made a nandroid try going back into recovery and restore it. Then head over to the play store and download GooManager.

Then just boot into recovery, format system and cache and them flash your ROM followed by gapps and reboot. (If you're still having problems I suggest downloading darkside superwipe and flash that, then ROM, then gapps.
