[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nextgendpxd:
This morning,i wanted to replace the miui weekly rom so i downloaded PA october 8th release, backed up my phone with cwm, wiped everything and flashed the rom and gapps. when i booted into PA my internet connection was off and when asked to sign into my gmail account, a wifi bos with some verizon information popped up and asked me to enter a password. confused by this i chose sign in later, thinking that my internet connection would kick in minutes later, i got nothing.

I tried making a call later and got sent to verizon's financial hot-line >.> i hung up. soo is there anyway to get my internet back? will i have to go back to my backup? is there anything i should know before attempting to go to my back up? im fairly new at this :( thank you in advanced for your help
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:

turns out an issues with my carrier occurred the same time i booted PA, problem solved :D
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
People are always posting in the ROM threads wondering if a 1% battery mod is possible. I, personally, dont understand why it seems to be harder to accomplish on ICS and JB than Gingerbread. But I have come across some alternatives for those who need 1% increments.

First, there is Minimalistic Text. This allows you to put a widget on your home screen showing 1% increments of the battery. Just create a battery level widget and you're done. (see attached screenshot)

Second, there is a newer app called Battery Widget Reborn Beta. Along with adding a widget to your home screen, this app will allow you to have a constant, customizable notification (see attached screenshot). What is interesting about this app is that it has a "motorola 1% hack" in the settings that makes this possible for us. Which leads me to a question/theory.

If this app is using a 1% hack specified for motorola devices, is it possible for some smart dev to look at how this app is doing this and maybe make a mod based on it to give us a built in 1% hack? Just thought I would bring that up. Other than than that, the other two apps are working great for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
You're right on with the Minimalistic Text. I used it and it works just fine.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
I actually just started using the Battery Widget Reborn and find it really cool. I removed my Minimalistic Text widget and I'm going to try this one out for a bit. I also just removed the battery icon all together since this puts a notification in the status bar.
[Motorola Droid X2] GoClifGo05:
Awesome. Thanks for this.
[Motorola Droid X2] Omega360:
The app Battery Indicator uses a Motorola hack to get 1% battery increments working, but it doesn't override the Android battery icon.

Been using it for a while and I don't mind the extra notification, so some people might like it.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
That app seems to be similar to Battery Widget Reborn. I think its weird these apps use a "Motorola Hack." Whats with Motorola that doesnt allow 1% increments. And why is it so hard to get this built in?
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilliwigs:
So I rooted my phone a couple of days ago and have just got the confidence to put a new ROM on it so I can get ICS on it. But I thought i would use the EFS pro to back up that so called very important file.

But when I try and back it up it just says:

Checking Device connection.... Device connected!

Checking ROOT access..... Okay

Detected ' /efs' Partition location: Failed

Error : Can't locate mount point!

EFS backup failed!

Operation finished

Any help with what can be done to fix this? My phone is the Samsung galaxy ace S5830i
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codeknight11:
Hold on. ICS? Your device is S5830I. There's no ICS for it -.-
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dxppxd:
The efs partition is hidden in the galaxy ace, in the stl5 partition. Messing with it, either backing it up, restoring it or trying to mount/unmount it ccan result in a brick or lost imei.

That also means that roms won't screw it up when installing. So, only reason to mess with it would be to network unlock the phone, with the risk of bricking it.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stilliwigs:
Thanks for that! So I can just go along and install a ROM and it won't corrupt? Cool! thanks!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Qnrx:
umm, since s5830i doesnt have any custom kernel/rom do you actually want to say you want to flash a s5830 ics rom on it?

okay... but if something goes wrong, tell samsung that kies failed to upgrade your firmware.

Good Luck!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ginopunsalan:
I agree. Flash ICS. I like N7000XXLRT. Do not do full wipe! You will brick your phone. If you want root and Clockworkmod Recovery, flash an Odin version of Speedmod kernel. When Speedmod is flashed you can do a full wipe.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franute:
Hello everyone,

first of all I'm posting these question here because the I9100G Q&A post is for development only and I'm still a novice (hope I'm right :confused:).

I'm making an application that needs face detection so I started to use the Android Face Detection listener introduced since api 14*.

Checking the camera properties, I get a "MaxNumDetectedFaces" of 35 (which by the way I think is a little bit absurd) and when trying the camera preview example from android developers, the preview shows squares around the detected faces, but always returns a null (size = 0) array of Faces.

So, I'd like to know if somebody with a I9100G could try and so, I could decide to change to another ROM (the device is not mine, so I shouldn't flash it if it's not 100% neccessary).

Thanks in advance,

Fran

PS: the phone is an I9100G DBT unlocked upgraded to the latest 4.0.4 via Kies.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
Just curious as it seems my phone lost its root access when i upgraded to 4.0.3. Can i just reflash SuperUser even though its technically on my phone? Or do i have to uninstall SU somehow and then reflash it?

Thanks for the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
First, what recovery do you have. If you upgraded thru kies, you have to Odin flash CWM again , then you can flash SU again. Reflashing should work. Now it is highly recommended you do a factory reset if you update thru kies cause you might run into issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
Im using CWM, i cant remember which version but i think 5.0.2.7 or something like that. I still have CWM running, just Superuser seems to have stopped for whatever reason.

If i factory reset, can i just use my Titanium backup/nandroid backup to reload? Or does that defeat the purpose?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Yes, you can restore apps afterwards. If you are coming from GB to ICS, its highly recommend to restore apps only.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
How come? What kind of problems can arise? Ive ran my phone stock on ICS since April or March and its been fine, no issues whatsoever.

Would reflashing SU really cause that many problems? I really dont want to lose my app data and game saves etc. And i really dont want to go through the whole wipe/reflash stuff.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] LoopDoGG79:
Only a suggestion, reflashing SU should be just fine. Try reinstalling data, some apps might not work well though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Khameleon:
Reflashed SU, works great now. Going to go and try CM9.1 or maybe AOKP JB
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Supra Man:
I attempted to restore my fiance's S3 to full factory stock about a month ago now, after I received a prompt for the ~82MB OTA update, and she didn't... She was tired of me taking her phone and keeping it out of her hot little hands whilst I made nandroids and flashed the latest updates to BlazerROM, and she didn't have a problem with stock ROM, so I figured I'd put it back for her.

Well, I did, and I KNOW I left CWRecovery in, and not sure if I left root or not, but she STILL has not received the OTA update which still bugs me... So I need to know what is the BEST method for FULL STOCK RECOVERY? I don't want her missing out when the Jelly Bean official drops, and I may flash mine back when it hits just to test it out...

I found this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1935973

Which directed me to QBKing's site, but also warned that the video was now somewhat dated...

Am I assume that by saving her text messages and contacts, and flashing the ODIN .tar listed on this page: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1919919 and just letting her re-install her apps, is an effective way to return to FULL and UNMODIFIED stock? Should I run Triangle-Away before proceeding? Will this return the device status to Unmodified (or whatever it says) as opposed to "Custom" in the Status page, as it currently shows for her, in case of warranty needs?

Sorry to be "That Guy", but some of the other topics where a bit vague and lacked details, so I figure if we can get something Semi-Detailed and answering most of the big/general questions, perhaps this could serve as a Go-To thread for others who wish to do this...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904099

Thread youve mentioned above also works fine. If using odin method, run triangle away beforehand. Neither method will wipe data. Depending on the rom you're coming from, it may not be necessary. If you flash without wiping and the rom fails to boot(hangs on glowing samsung logo), go back to recovery and factory reset. Itll boot right up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Supra Man:
i cant thumbs-up you hard enough.... thanks for that awesome pile of resources

JUST TO CLARIFY!

On your thread you updated just this morning with the flash-counter reset included, just run in CWR, and all is good, if not, then factory reset, and all is good? Or factory reset, reflash, all is good?

EDIT: FLashed

In download mode;

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SPH-L710

CUSTOM BINARY DOWNLOAD: NO

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Custom

QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (not sure what that one is haven't done more than root with oden and flash)

System status troubles me... ODEN flash, or let it full reboot? I went into download to check before first initial boot after flash. will allow full boot and see what happens...

EDIT 2: Well, android system status shows Normal... Girl woke up and took her phone back, so will check oden later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] billard412:
Yup the one updated today is just that. Flash and reboot. Youll be 100% stock

The system status in odin will probably fix itself after booting. If not a factory reset should do it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Supra Man:
Seems to have worked. I wish I had money to donate to your wonderful work. Hopefully she'll be receiving prompts for OTA updates for JellyBean shortly... Thanks for also having it up to date. At least I gather it DOES include the ~82MB update she's been missing... Keep up the wonderful work friend!

This is not epic because of the app, didn't care much, but I noticed that looks like an O1, but with different buttons... then I saw Virgin Mobile... is that an Optimus V?? Be proud of you, your phone is now "old" according to the article :D
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Jrhodes85:
Yep the optimus v is the virgin mobile
[Optimus One, P500, V General] feteru:
I would say the phone is very much old. It took overclocking for my Optimus S to even be usable as a daily driver. However, that's not to say that it hasn't been tough and pretty reliable for these two years I've had it.
[Motorola Droid X2] magimog:
I've never had luck getting fonts changed on ICS and now Jellybean for this device. Every time I attempt I bootloop and give up. Granted I'm only using the ROM Toolbox method as of now, but other program methods changed nothing as far as I could tell.

Is there a process that I'm missing? Attached is a zip containing the orgininal font and the modified version (to remove the [][][] boxes that were popping up)

Any insight would be greatly appreciated, as this font is gorgeous on smaller screens! :)
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Try font changer in the play store. I havent used it with ICS or Jelly Bean. But I used it on Gingerbread and it worked perfectly.
[Motorola Droid X2] magimog:
I guess I forgot to add, I used both that program and ROM Toolbox on Gingerbread (CM7) and it worked wonderfully. I didnt know if there was something else thats different about the install process. Or maybe due to the Alpha nature I shouldnt get my hopes up?
[Motorola Droid X2] tallyforeman:
For the love of God, Mother Mary and all the saint's of the church, never use ROM Manager.......ever. That's like the golden rule. (for the X2, that is)
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well if font changer doesnt work, I dont know what else to say. Thats the only method I have used but like I said, I havent tried it on ICS or JB. ICS and JB might have a different method for fonts which may cause Rom Toolbox and font changer not to work. Do some google searches. I found this that might work for you. I would backup your rom before trying though.

[Motorola Droid X2] magimog:
Rom Toolbox =/= Rom Manager
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
For the Droid X2, either ROM Toolbox or ROM manager isnt recommended. These two apps can make changes to the ROM that our device doesnt support. Like stuff that requires an unlocked bootloader, which our device doesnt have. People have said that changing fonts or a boot animation will work fine but anything other than that, it can potentially cause big problems. So bottom line, be careful with what you do with it.
[Motorola Droid X2] magimog:
I was pointing out that Rom Manager is in no way the same thing as Rom Toolbox. The former deals with rom downloads, mods and recovery installation, whereas the other is a collection of root tools. Toolbox is just a hub for the multitude of JRummy apps. I've only used it to have a one-stop for adblocking, root browser and animation/theme changing. Those 3 tasks work perfectly in CM9/10.

I will just try manually switching out the fonts to see if that changes anything. I was looking to see if there were other X2 users who were successful in performing this task within a CM9/10 environment. I'll assume no one has for now.
[Motorola Droid X2] jsgraphicart:
Well I havent seen anyone else ask about changing fonts in ICS or JB. I wouldnt know how to do it if the other two methods dont work. Again, I would search around for a Universal method rather than one specifically for the DX2. I think the usual methods not working are more due to the change of the way ICS and JB handle things than our ROM not being complete though.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coollikefonz:
I'm having a problem similar to many people but from looking all over these and other forums, nothing is working. It started when I turned on my phone and while the splash screen was still on, plugged it into my PC to charge, boom, boot loop ever since.

I was using the Peach Sunrise kernel, and first tried to re-flash the rom...nothing, still bootlooping.

Data wipe...still boot looping.

Flash to stock via ODIN...nothing - it still does the bootloop after the reboot.

Now I don't have CWM anymore and I can't flash it because I cant' access the internal SD. Any ideas? Help is much appreciated! Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dez93_2000:
Hi all. Bit of a varied question this one.

I've got a samsung galaxy s3 and have moved country and become a student. In order to save data use costs, since i'll be spending 99% of my time in the office or at home, neither of which have wifi networks i can access and that won't change, I want to connect the phone to the university & home networks through laptop (windows 7 at university) and desktop (ubuntu at home). To complicate matters further, I have to give my handset back semi-soon and will hopefully be getting a nexus s.

I've looked into connectify @ the uni but am having teething troubles so far. It may be workable but it may be that my inability to access the router settings blocks my chances.

I'll have some but not great ability to access the router settings at home.

- Could I do this via a bluetooth network if I bought a win 7 & linux compatible dongle? I hear mixed reports, but it looks like it could potentially be feasible

- Could I do this by plugging the handset into the laptop/pc? A solution i've seen (reverse tethering) looks good for the galaxy S3 but requires rooting which i don't want to do on the S3 as i have to give it back and i don't want to risk doing anything which might cause me problems. Happy to root the nexus s though.

- Has anyone heard of reverse tethering from ubuntu to android?

Any general tips / thoughts on the best way to go about this appreciated. It seems that there's more than one way to skin this cat (cats) and so it'd be great to find the simplest & cheapest option.

Cheers in advance

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dez93_2000:
Kinda bumping but adding info:

1. S3 now gone so that section obsolete

2. managed to get Connectify Me working on the win7 laptop by disabling Symantec, connecting, then re-enabling. Not aware that anyone's found this out before so i've let Connectify Me team know.

3. Tried a couple of suggestions for command-line editing of lots of stuff to enable reverse tethering via usb from ubuntu to the nexus s but so far it's just killed my network connection and required me to backpedal until I got it back up again. If anyone has a tried & tested way of reverse tethering from ubuntu 12.04 LTS to nexus s or any android i'd be glad of a link.

Cheers
