[Motorola Atrix 2] Vitamin C:
So I need a bit of help. I am a n00b. I just got my phone and rooted it, then installed bootstrap and CWM. Then I got excited seeing this stuff here and wanted to install this so i did and things are not kosher. My play store says: Error retrieving information from server. [RH-01], Also: Unfortunately, Android keyboard has stopped error message keeps popping up whenever I try typing anything, Also, Talk says loading accounts and nothing happens, Also getting weird hangs etc when moving around in launcher. I am on the ICS 4.0.4 US ATT phone. What are my options????

Thank you
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
I'm not 100% sure about this, but it may be that you have flashed 4.2.1 gapps on a 4.0.4 ROM. I have had this issue before and as far as I could tell that was my problem, wrong version of gapps for the ROM I was running. Also, what ROM are you currently on? Stock ROMs are odexed while I believe these gapps are deodexed. I have read that can cause problems as well, but I haven't any experience with that since I don't use stock ROMs. As far as your options, you can probably Google "ICS inverted gapps" and try those or flash the fxz and start over.:thumbup:

Sent from this thing.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Vitamin C:
Awesome!!!! I got the 4.0.4 FXZ and did its thing and i am back in business. THANKS. I will read fully and take slow steps from now on ha ha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wanderer2012:
Hi there,

I have a rooted and unlocked SGH-T999V Videotron S3 phone on Fido network. I had installed custom ROM (AOKP) on it as some point and as a result, had lost IMEI number. Using Peoplearmy's method, I was able to inject the IMEI back to the Phone. However, I am no longer able to get speed past EDGE on the phone consistently.

QCN generator for Rogers does not seem to fix the problem or general build.prop stuff like setting ro.ril.hsxpa from 1 to 3 and switching ro.ril.gprsclass between 10 and 12. Forcing WCDMA takes it to HSPA+ for half a minute (good speed for the time!) or so and then settles on 3G but the phone looses signal completely after about 2 minutes of jostling with the network. Signal bars during this time jumps from comfortable -75 dBm to about -103/113 dBm, at which point the phone looses all connectivity.

I have tried reverting back to stock, flashing stock & wind mobile modem (T999VVLLH2), T-mobile specific modems and general hair pulling. So far, I have not had success and currently out of ideas.

Anyone care to help?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Most people say you need to restore the first QCN backup you made.

Not really sure why but I know ive read it on numerous occasions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wanderer2012:
Sadly, I do not have a *good* QCN backup from when I originally obtained the phone. I only learned about QCN and other related process after my IMEI broke. The first QCN I have is after when modem problems started. However, I am still willing to give it a shot in hopes that it will somehow restore data speed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wanderer2012:
QCN restore didn't work (hardly a surprise!). However, I may have figured out how to fix it using Qualcomm's service programming tool. Can anyone upload/send/PM me a copy of their working QCN from SGH-T999V if the device is on Fido?

Thanks. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Have you asked about this in peoplearmys or geeks threads too? They may be abke to help you if you can't find what you need here.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wanderer2012:
Not yet! Those threads have a requirement of at least 10 posts from me before I can ask something. Need to be a bit more chatty.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
You could always try pming them and explaining your situation. I'm not sure how involved in the threads they are anymore but I've always heard that they are very helpful when folks get stuck somewhere like you are.

Worst that'll happen is you don't get a response at all, but never heard anyone say that's ever happened.

Sorry I can't be of more direct help, this is just one of those areas I know very little about and I don't want to take the chance of getting something wrong and making it worse!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Wanderer2012:
Thank you for your kind reply. I will try pming Peoplearmy. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Peoplearmy:
Just a note though Rogers, Bell, Telus, Sasktel, Fido, etc...are all Canadian based restoring a QCN file from a phone on one network will not restore it in another, Especially going from a Rogers phone (I747 variant) to FIDO (T999 variant). You're almost better off trying to go from Tmobile to Fido than you are from Rogers to Fido. If there is anyone on Fido's network that has a working QCN backup I could tweak my app to include FIDO which would then generate you a QCN that may bring your phone back to life. Just this week I included Telus and Bell to the support list of phones in my app and I'm currently working on addinf Sasktel.

Good luck!

[LG Optimus 2x] machoman1337:
In CM7, I used to get as many predictive suggestions on my keyboard as would fit into the space, around 5-6 suggested words on average while typing.

In CM10 only 3 suggestions show at a time, which is kinda annoying.

Anyone know how to change the keyboard settings to display more than 3 suggestions at a time?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] peekeesh:
How do you disable one hand operation keyboard layout using the kb? For some reason, my kb layout changes to one hand operation when I type fast. I always go to the menu to turn it off.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] drhoades01:
Did you ever figure this out? keeps happening to me too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] BeautifulTrauma:
bump. seriously can someone please help us figure something out? I dont want to switch keyboards, I like this one a lot...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] winsonlim:
It may be due to the shortcut of pinch-in on the keyboard for one-hand operation..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] miamivirgo918:
Thanks

My baby always did this with my keyboard and I couldn't figure it out. It was the pinch in/out feature. Thank you so much
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I've decided to put this project on hold as the bootloader has been fixed for the HD8.9/7 (and in theory can be fixed for the KFire2's)

SAFESTRAP v3.05 BETA (2nd-System Bootstrap / Recovery)

** DISCLAIMER: THIS IS A SERIOUS HACK YOU ARE ABOUT TO PERFORM TO THE DEVICE.

DUE TO THE WAY THIS BOOTSTRAP WORKS, THERE IS A POSSIBILITY OF SOFT-BRICKING.

I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE YOU DO TO YOUR KINDLE BY USING THIS TOOL.

YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.

If you bypassed the BIG RED letters above, make sure you re-read it and understand that you're installing a hijack which affects the normal boot process of the Kindle Fire HD. If that process is changed in anyway it could lead to a soft-bricked device which will need to be fastboot restored.

FOR NOW THIS IS FOR THE KINDLE FIRE HD 7", LATER I ALSO HAVE A VERISON WHICH WILL WORK ON THE KFIRE2.

Download the APK Here

md5sum: 9e409cf3a9d7d510b5bf19262ecfb6d5

Brief Overview / Instructions for how to use Safestrap:

http://blog.hash-of-codes.com/how-to-safestrap/

KNOWN ISSUES:

Currently there's a bug where when you create and activate a rom-slot, the /sdcard is pointed at the rom-slots "/data" partition. This of course won't have all of your content in it. I'll release an update once that's fixed.

CHANGES:

[11/14] Initial release for KFireHD7

[10/30] Begin testing tablet interface for Kindle Fire's

[10/17] (3.05) Fixed SD card / emmc sharing in recovery (UMS)

[10/17] (3.05) Fixed recovery installation/removal from ROM-slots

[10/14] Updated to v3.04 BETA.

[10/14] Recovery is now based off TWRP 2.2.2.1 (fully featured touch-based recovery)

[10/14] Can create up to 4 Virtual ROM-slots to flash ROMs to and when "Active" ALL TWRP functions affect that ROM-slot (For example: Flashing .zips, Backup and Restore)

[10/14] Nearly instant swapping from ROM to ROM

[10/14] User selectable data partition sizes during ROM slot creation: 1GB, 2GB or 3GB

[10/14] ROM slots are saved on the internal emmc space so that preinstall and webtop partitions are no longer used and shouldn't break OTAs.

[10/14] Charging in recovery

[10/14] Supports "Reboot Recovery" from Android OS

Entry to recovery via Splashscreen on boot-up. The screen stays up for around 8-10 seconds and if you hit the "Recovery" button, it takes you to Safestrap Recovery. You can skip the wait by touching the "Continue" button.

KNOWN ISSUES:

Stock flashing is currently disabled. And this will probably remain this way for the foreseeable future.

SPECIAL THANKS TO:

The entire TWRP team who has built an AMAZING recovery system.

The testers which have helped in past and present versions of Safestrap, knowing that it could mean they brick their devices.

[ SCREENSHOTS COMING SOON ]
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] cfrock:
Anxiously waiting...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
I'll know more shortly once my tester gets back with me.

The proof of concept runs perfectly on my 1st gen KFire where I mocked up the hijack and was able to walk through it w/o fear of bricking.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] onemeila:
Thank you for the hard work as I'm sure you have spent quite a bit of time on this.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] shook187:
For us non tech guys, exactly what is the purpose of this recovery be? To make a backup of what currently have? The ability to flash?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
This is custom recovery for flash ROMs and backup/restore.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] ci3hu1:
This is the best news i ever heard since i bought my KFHD a week ago. I hope it passed the test.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
Just to reiterate...

Users cannot go and flash any ROM on their devices...ROMs must be made with the 2nd gen. kernels in mind and any attempt at flashing ROMs made for 1st gen. devices will most assuredly brick one's device, correct?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Yes. No flashing 1st gen device ROMs. Insta brick. Safestrap can't save you from that.

Good news and Bad news on the 1st tests:

1. Good: I found a better hijack point in the new 7.2.1 ramdisk. So I'm adjusting some things and doing some more tests.

2. Bad: The screen is rotated differently on the KFireHD, than it is on the KFire 1st gen. So my touch buttons and stuff aren't working correctly. The next few tests I do will be to show where and how the screen is rotated in relation to the touch controller.

So for now still nothing public.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] reverendkjr:
In the meantime, if any ambitious devs want to start slopping together a ROM to use once this is completely working, that would probably be a good idea. :laugh:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] soupmagnet:
How hard would it be to add a check that makes sure no 1st gen. ROMs, or any ROMs that have modified files that would normally include signed headers, get accidentally installed?

For the most part I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem, but there are those who will try anyway, no matter how many warnings are given in bold red letters.

Not to mention there may be inexperienced (or heaven forbid, malicious) "devs" that might, inadvertantly or otherwise, modify a file with a signed header.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] reverendkjr:
I believe that the final product will have such a check.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] craby1925:
Well that idea sounds like something twrp would have to integrate. But all the same, hash code, do you have a donation button, you are clearly a valuable member of this device development.

Sent from my Fire HD with root!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Testing Update: We have a solid boot after Safestrap installation which is a plus since we're now injecting the recovery splashscreen into the boot process.

My last test (#3) didn't have a working touch controller during the splashscreen, but I have test #4 ready which *could* load the touch driver and allow for entry, but since it's Halloween and we all have families, I won't know how that works till later tonight.

TODO: I'm working on re-doing the Safestrap theme for 800x1280. I had previously been running a 1280x800 theme but the screen is vertical not horizontal. So the layout will be more phone-style than tablet looking.

But even if it's the default TWRP theme with a few missing images, I'll know if we're in a usable state soon.

Verifying Device: I think we can turn on asserts before flashing ROMs. However, it could be that every single Kindle Fire device is named "blaze_tablet" or "blaze" so that might be less than useful. It will take some testing probably to come up with a solution. The Safestrap APK performs a model check when you click "Install Recovery" (KFTT == KindleFireHD-7) and instantly bails if that's not true, so at least you can't install the wrong devices' recovery.

On the donations: There should be a button under my name on any post which links to my paypal.

However, let's hold off donations till we see some actual results and have a working stock-based ROM to flash which devs can tweak w/o fear of bricking. At that point I'll call it a successful bootstrap/recovery and we can move on to AOSP builds.

I'm not against donations (tho I don't do this for money obviously), I just feel you should already have something in your hands and be happy with it before you give any hard earned money to a dev.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
First of all, thanks a lot for your effort. Wish I could donate but Im a minor and live outside US... so its hard to ask for "dollars" here..

One question: this will allow OTG usb somehow or not?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] iaes:
Thanks a lot for working so hard, Hashcode. The updates are really appreciated and I really hope you are successful in opening up the Kindle Fire HD/2,
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] iMJets:
This is something to look forward to, hope it works out.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jacewt:
So you don't own the HD, hashcode? I will def. send a donation your way if you get this working!

I am trying to understand the way this will work. Is it a bit like a dual boot except with 4 roms? And one must always be running stock? And you can backup and restore all of them with twrp?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Hashcode:
Yes, on all of the above.

I should point out that you may not actually want to run 4 ROMs due to emmc size limits (especially KF2).

I keep the stock ROM pure to protect our path to recovery.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Tristanlogd:
Awesome work Hashcode. This sounds similar to how Android is run on the Touchpad. Keeps Webos in its own environment and dual boots Android. Can't wait! :good:
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogdroid:
Anyone else experiencing this? Would love to use it because I really like the transparent notification bar and the circles widget, but it just seems really choppy when I open the app drawer and slide to the quick settings page. Any suggestions to help with the lag?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nawoa:
Quick Settings page has a bit of lag for sure. I've heard that removing the Circles widget helps but IMHO it's not worth the minor inconvenience.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deus_eps_machina:
It is laggy. It was laggy on the GNex with JB but I thought that was because the launcher wasn't native to the Nexus so I went back to Nova Launcher.

BUT yea its definitely laggy on the RAZR HD. Hell, even Nova Launcher has its more than occasional hiccups on it where on the Nexus it was butter.

Its mainly laggy and jittery when you swipe to the quick settings screen and when you go to the app drawer. Not all the time with the quick settings but every time with the drawer.

I'm hoping jellybean will fix some of those issues where ICS is jittery and simply not buttery
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android69800:
I wanted to change this laggy launcher but circles doesn't work on nova launcher, I'm disappointed

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:

[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
Mine is a. Maxx HD TOO so what gives? Same wallpaper but mine isn't transparent?

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:06 PM ----------

I figured it out partially. I have widgetsoid installed. It was opaque and somehow made the notification bar opaque. I made the widgetsoid transparent and it made my notifier bar transparent... But only for static wallpaper. When I use live wallpaper it doesn't extend under the notifier for some reason. Maybe someone can help me out with a fix? I prefer live wallpaper but love the transparency.
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogdroid:
Just tried the live wallpaper on mine. Not transparent when I use it
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I found I had an app that screwed up transparency somehow. It is an excellent app which replaces the stock auto brightness settings with user adjusted and set auto brightness. I loved it because I like the phone a little darker indoors and brighter outdoors than the Motorola settings. I've uninstalled the app but since live wallpaper doesn't work with transparency I may go back to it. In the meantime I'm enjoying something I never knew I had!
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
I wonder why? I did write one live wallpaper developer to put a bug in his ear about it. Full screen live wallpaper would be phenomenal!

I have a question : can the wallpaper slide with the screens as it used to with my good old Defy?
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ogdroid:
Not unless you use a home replacement app. Then you loose the transparent bars
[RAZR HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] recDNA:
Ya, it's weird that it won't slide. Never had a phone that didn't. I love the transparent bars but prefer live wallpaper. If somebody writes a stable rom that does that i will root and try it.

I have been running CM10 for a awhile and wish to go back to the stock sense ROM. I downloaded the RUU and watched a couple videos about unrooting. I guess my question is why can i not just plug in my phone to my PC and run the RUU to go back to stock?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fifasarajevo:
honestly if i were you i would just flash a stock rom....flexs stock with goodies is excellent
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robisgnarly:
actually i was wondering this aswell. would be great if someone could write a step by step of removing cm10 and going stock with no root, want to sell my phone and would like to do this.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xadeus:
I have been using CM10 and would like to go back to stock because of alot of issues i have been having. I also have been looking at getting the Nexus 4. It would be nice if there as a guide for going from CM10 S-On to stock for the 4gLTE
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jwalkinc:
I concur. Running the newest 2.18 Google now works great and if you search his thread you can flash the separate landscape Rosie.:good:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] cxcorpx:
I think you can flash the rom from viper or meanrom is the best way to be happy now with our evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robisgnarly:
can i follow the steps here http://htcevohacks.com/htc-evo-4g-lte-root/how-to-unroot-htc-evo-4g-lte/ or do i need to do other things because of being on a custom rom? (cm10)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] fifasarajevo:
If you are S-OFF just do this

1- Backup whatever stuff you want to keep on the stock rom

2- Put the rom you want on your SD or internal storage which ever you prefer.

3- Boot into recovery (either with an app or since ur on CM10 just hold power and select reboot, then recovery)

4- Wipe cache, dalvik cache, system, and do a factory reset wipe (make sure you dont select the one that wipes your SD card)

5- Go to the install section of recovery and choose the new rom you want and flash it.

6- when it is done just reboot and set up

IF you are S-ON go through the development forums for the evo lte and there should be a sticky on how to flash roms with s-on
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Robisgnarly:
i am not s-off and i want to return to stock.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
fastest way would be to boot to bootloader and enable fastboot, open a terminal in adb tools or sdk and type fastboot oem lock. Then run the ruu and leave the phone alone for about 10 min or so. RUU will rewrite everything and leave your phone stock again

Hi.

Ive been searching around to find either a gallery or an app that would show me my dropbox videos and pics in the gallery without copying them tovthe device.

I have a samsung galaxy s3 i9300 and a dropbox account. But would like to see my dropbox photos in the gallery.

Ive used foldersync from the market but that just copys the files across so not what im looking for.

Ive heard that the note 2 has this function and also htc sense.

Another thing to note is that the main reason i am reasearching this is because i am making the move to the nexus 4 so would have to work with that.
