[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poczynek:
Thank you. So just root phone, install Titanium, point it to the Titanium backup in the ext sd card and restore?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
Don't reinstall the system apps and settings, just the ones from the Play Store etc.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poczynek:
No I don't want to use Playstore if possible. As the thread said I want to see if I can restore via TiBu and just use the 'restore missing apps with data' option not system settings.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjfriend:
That's what I meant. Good luck with new phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] _Dagan_:
first off, ask I am is rooted....no there customization /Rom other than the current update.

only recently will it no longer go past the goodbye screen during a normal reboot.

any ideas why the phone would suddenly start doing this?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanoLou:
I have flashed several JB Roms on my Dinc. Namely, Albinoman's RC 3, Pons AOKP and Pons CM10. All are great roms. On Albinoman' I can access music and ringtones on the SD card. However, for the other JB roms, I can not access ringtones or music on the SD Card or emmc.

Couple of things:

1) The roms were all installed with clean wipes. Format boot, system, factory reset, etc.

2) The SD card has pictures and documents that are readable by other programs and load no problem,

3) The SD card music files and ringtones appear in my file browser (File Expert), and if i click on I can play each singularly in FileExpert

4) I tried several different music players and they do not read or recognize the music on SD card. They see/report "Zero" songs.. Even FileExpert reports no songs (weird ehh?).

5) In the system/sound settings, the only sounds that appear are system sounds and ringtones.

6) I tried fixing permisions

7) I also tried copying "ringtones" to a folder of the same name on the emmc. Ditto for some music.

8) I do have sound, using the notifications and ringtones that came with the rom. So I got that going for me.

So at this point I ask for some assistance. But as I am not totally soundless, I can survive. Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zimeron:
Running CM10, I have no idea, as I only use ringtones from the SD card, same for playing music, and I have no issues here.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
You don't have a .nomedia file in sdcard or emmc do you?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobAbooE:
Try and scan your sd card with an app called SDrescan.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanoLou:
I believe I may swap and reformat SD cards to see if that will help. I am currently using a 32 GB class 4 micro SD

I scanned my card and found multiple .nomedia files in various directories. *All are zero byte files. *Delete them?

Thank you I will run SDrescan

I appreciate the responses and I will set out to fix this, and when fixed I will post the fix sequence.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zimeron:
These files tell the system to not scan those directories and sub-directories, so if they're on the root of the sdcard or anywhere you want the music to be scanned, then yes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
You beat me to it!

Most likely it was caused due to a buggy version of ROM manager if the OP was using it. I think I'll use some .nomedia files to limit the scanning to just my music and camera/screenshot folders. I've never used them but it may help cut battery usage due to scanning.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanoLou:
Zimeron & Tiny: Thank you! Unfortunately it worked only temporarily. So I suspect something is up with my uSD card, although using various tools nothing was listed wrong. I swapped the 32 GB Class 4 card for a 8 GB card Class 4 card, copied files over, and I am up and running with Ringtones and Music through several reboots, tests and trials. When I get the space (and time) I will copy the content on the 32 GB card, wipe, format and refill. If it still does not work then perhaps there is some uSD size limit with the ROM, or I just need a new 32 GB uSD card. Thanks again for all your time.

For those who have the ".nomedia" file issue:

1) Mount the SD card on a PC (this can be done several ways: USB adapter, or cable rigt to phone with USB drive enabled)

2) Open Explorer on the PC to view the drive (if it does not pop up automatically)

3) In the Explorer search bar type: .nomedia

4) Hit enter then click on: Search in Subfolders

5) Select and delete the .nomedia files found in media folders with music and ringtones

6) Repeat the above for the EMMC.

Enjoy your music!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
Cyanlou, try removing sdcard, clearing media storage, and adding the 32gb sdcard.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanoLou:
Didn't do the trick. :( Now that I know the problem and what to search on, I am finding the issue across devices on JB Roms. Interesting:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880163

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969205 (I found non xda links as well, but did not include here)

ROM manager is being pointed to as the source at several sites. I do not NOW use ROM manager, but their may be lingering files. Really? That is almost like a vi... a vir... I can't spit it out and wont. In the forums I see talk of wiping this and that, which brings me back to trying a newly formatted SD card, a totally clean wipe, and Rom install. Or seeing how future nightly's may change the handling of media.

Perhaps this belongs in a development forum as a JB issue?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyanoLou:
Tiny:

Your patch here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1882918&page=81 to Pons' CM10 Kang totally fixed the issue!! I see all ringtones and media files on the SD card. Checking in Titanium backup prior and after flashing the ROM I found

Prior: System ROM: 260 MB (12.1 MB Free)

After: System ROM: 260 MB (64.4 MB Free)

So the lack of system space may not have enabled seeing all the media files in some way or another? Pons was always saying how tough it was to squeeze JB into the Inc. When he gets back, he should be thrilled with this. I know I am. Thanks again. Issue solved! :good:
[Networking] Karaoke_King26:
Hi Guys/Girls,

My first post having got hold of my first Android tablet 7" MID A13 really impressed for the price I've not stopped messing with it, but I seem to have a problem. For some reason Google Maps and Google Earth seem to crash unless I use Location Spoofer to fake my location, my device does not have GPS but surly this shouldn't matter, any ideas?
[Networking] The-Captain:
Hi, if you don't have GPS, you won't be able to pinpoint your location.. unless you set it to a specific location.
[Networking] Karaoke_King26:
Yer I understand that but Surely the program shouldn't crash on load :( is there anyway to permanently fake a gps position in a config file somewhere?
[Networking] MrObvious:
What options do you have checked in the location settings?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macravin:
So I followed this guide to get the ICS lockscreen, but I can't figure out how to add wallpaper. (the background is black). It would be great if someone has any ideas on how to make wallpaper work! I think this is would be a great step in deamazoning the kindle.

thanks for the post im sold and diving in...
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craby1925:
Ya I have the same problem. This lock screen gets triggered when you change the DPI too, but anyways. I've been dealing with this too. I think that what says to use a wallpaper is set up in the framework-res.apk, and would require some major reworking to have it set the wallpaper from the launcher it's using. I say this because right now, the framework-res.apk is saying that if everything on the fire HD is working okay, display wallpapers within the app itself. And is everything isn't okay on the fire HD, display a black background. You would have to edit it to say that if launcher is using x wallpaper, than use x wallpaper as it's own wallpaper. It's so complicated because amazon reworked the entire android source code in relation to the lock screen, amazon didn't want anyone messing with it. To change the wallpaper, you will have to have a full knowledge of how to rebuild applications for android, and balls of steel to mess with an app like the framework-res.apk

Sent from my Fire HD with root!
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macravin:
I don't think we can get it using the same wallpaper as the launcher automatically either. I would be fine with it using amazon's stock images (you can change those with 7zip/winrar to match your launcher's anyway).

EDIT: does changing the dpi make the status/navigation bar smaller? If so, I might do that!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
So I'm not too sure if this will intrigue anyone, I personally enjoy this mod and always have

Here is what a carrier logo is (upper left hand corner)

Prerequisites

-apktool

*Make sure you meet all requirements for apktool

Guide:

- Copy framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from your current ROM into your apktool directory

- CD your apktool folder

- Install resources from framework-res.apk by issuing this command

apktool if framework-res.apk

- Decompile your SystemUI.apk by doing:

apktool d SystemUI.apk

- Navigate to your decompiled SystemUI folder and go to /res/values/bools.xml

- Find the following bool

<bool name="config_showOperatorLogo">false</bool>

- Change it to the following:

<bool name="config_showOperatorLogo">true</bool>

- Save and close the XML

- Next, navigate to /res/drawable-xhdpi/ and search for this image

tw_stat_notify_operator_logo

- This is what you want to replace with your custom image. Try not have the image too big, and make sure it is a png. I usually make my logos around 90x40 but they can be smaller and slightly larger depending on what you are using

- After you replaced that image with your custom carrier logo go back to your command prompt window and recompile your apk

apktool b SystemUI

- Your new apk will be in the decompiled SystemUI folder in the "dist" folder

- Next, click and drag the original AndroidManifest.xml AND the META-INF folder for the original SystemUI.apk to the new SystemUI.apk

- Make a flashable zip and flash in recovery

Resources

- How to make a flashable zip for our phone

- Some carrier logos

- Some of my personal favorite carrier logos

Enjoy!

This is actually pretty nice. Your killing it fergie
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] charlie81:
would love this but dont know how to decompile i have two little kids to run after hard to concentrate can u make one for me please with this
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] countryteazer:
Fergie, thanks so much for sharing this guide. It'll definitely come in handy. The title says for TW roms but I'm curious if this is possible on AOKP, and would the process be somewhat similar?

Charlie, I've got 2 little ones as well and can assure you that apktool is relatively quick and easy to figure out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] charlie81:
ill try it out tomorrow while they are away
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
You're welcome!

And the process would be different (that bool doesn't exist in CM10/AOKP), you have to add a layout edit to status_bar.xml and add the Sprint carrier text, make it invisible and set the background for said text your carrier image

I'm still on TW but if you wanna test it out I can show you the layout edit you would have to make
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] w8setter:
Nice tutorial....thanks....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
Cool! I love that logo lol. If you want it showing at 100% and not at 85% go to SystemUI/res/vaues/dimens.xml look for the status_bar_drawing lines and chane it to 100%, there should be two of them, one for TW and another for 3rd party apps
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] countryteazer:
Fergie, thanks for the info. Whenever we get our power back on, I'd definitely like to take a look and see if I can get it working with AOKP. I appreciate the help! Will pm you soon!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fergie716:
I only have one for stock LJ7 ODEX so if that's what your on I can up it

Well this is how I've been doing it

-Decompile SystemUI

-Go to /res/layouts/tw_status_bar_expanded.xml

-In the very second line here

<FrameLayout android:id="@id/notification_panel" android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg" android:paddingTop="@dimen/notification_panel_padding_top" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginLeft="@dimen/notification_panel_margin_left"

Change this entry

android:background="@drawable/notification_panel_bg"

To

android:background="@drawable/status_bar_expand_default"
-Next, take whatever png you want to be your background and name it "status_bar_expand_default"
-Add that png to /res/drawable-xhdpi/
-Recompile, drag the original META-INF and AndroidManifest,xml from the original SystemUI.apk to the newly compiled one
-Make a flashable and flash in recovery

-flash ROM (numerolight)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boonemeat:
I have a motorola atrix. I was have been rooted and running different roms forever now. I recently jumped roms and this problem began. It started with apps that I downloaded disappearing after a reboot. After that I tried deleting stuff from the internal sd card and it would say it was deleted then come back after reboot. I tried formatting on windows and the same thing happens. Now I am unable to flash any new roms because it says they flash fine and then it boots the original rom. I tried using moto fastboot to erase every partition and reinstall original stock and same thing still boots up the other rom. I even tried using rsdlite if you are familiar and the same rom keeps booting up. I am stumped and i've searched everywhere.

Did you try unrooting it then rerooting it? or reflashing the system files from adb?

I've just bought a second hand tf300 of Amazon and saw it still had ICS on it. When I tried to OTA update to JB it wouldn't. Closer inspection showed that in settings status the serial number is listed as unknown. I've now updated manually to JB and CWM was not installed so I dont think its unlocked and rooted. However I just want to run it with stock receiving OTA updates. Any ideas how I can fix the serial number issue or bypass to get OTA?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
Here is my guess. You are unlocked. You can't load something like cwm if you're not.

I'm guessing before you got the tablet, the previous owner unlocked it, screwed it up, sent it to Asus for repair, and Asus returned it working, but loaded code somehow to eliminate the serial. This has happened to others, or so I've read. Feel lucky if you're unlocked. Users who have been reporting this problem have said their tablets are locked, and since there's no serial, they can't use the tool to unlock it.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimbo34:
CWM was not installed when I received it but is there any way of knowing if the unlock tool has been run previously? If I'm stuck doing manual updates how long does it take the ota updates to appear for download on the Asus site?

Usually a week give or take.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p0k3y:
When you boot, do you see "this device is unlocked" in small white text on the upper left corner? that's how you tell.

Btw, unlock doesn't mess with the serial number.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparky28000:
The guy you bought it from bricked the unlocked tablet and send it to Asus for repair. They then performed a full reflash but forgot or didn't repair the partition that holds the device ids. You can send it back to Asus for repair and they will fix the serial number issue but even after that you won't be able to receive OTA updates and you won't be able to unlock the device again.
