[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadaga:
Hi,

I would like to use the display of my desktop pc to display a 'copy' of my galaxy s3 screen in semi real time. What is the best way to do this please?

I know I could use a hdmi cable between s3 and a hdmi compatible PC screen but helas my PC monitor is not equipped with a hdmi input. It only has a vga input.

Therefore I would need some program running on the PC capable to fetch via wifi or via a cable, the content of what is displayed on my galaxy s3 screen.. So I suppose I would need some specific software on the s3 as well...

Is there any such solution?

Thanks for your help

Thanks for your replies guys. I'll try Teamviewer, but from what I understand it won't work over usb? I'm looking for a fast and local screen sharing solution.

The 4.2 screen share function sous very good! Will it be over usb? Wifi? 3g?

Is there a way to completely recover a ThinkPad Tablet as I can with my LePad A1 ?

Would really like to upgrade to ICS, but I am unable to perform a complete factory reset... since even after doing this the tablet takes 10 minutes to boot and start throwing launcher errors when booted.

ThinkPadTablet_A310 (SC)

Still running Android 3.1 as no updates ever came through

Have rooted the device with Thinkpwn @djrbliss

ThinkPad Tablet stuck in reboot-loop after ICS update

Always helpful... but seems my problem was related to a broken build.prop. Luckily I had a copy of this file...

Was able to update my tablet from:

ThinkPadTablet_A310_02_0024_0065_SC

to:

ThinkPadTablet_A310_03_0069_0121_SC

But after successfully applying this update the device is in a reboot loop (only shows a static lenovo logo) and turns off, vibrates and turns on.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] pwstein:
Iirc, some boot loops can be ended by doing a complete power down, i.e. power off. Press battery-disconnect button next to the SDcard. Then try a regular boot.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gbraad:
Full power down did not help

Tried this, but did not help. At one stage it stayed on the bootlogo without rebooting, but never progressed. Still same... :(

Restored a nandroid with CWR

Was able to restore a nandroid with CWR and nvflash:

$ ./nvflash -w --bl ./04.EBT.img --go

$ ./nvflash -r --download 6 ./cwr/cwr-myrecovery.img

Reboot into recovery... and restored the backup ThinkPadTablet_0089_ROW_Root_CWM

Tablet booted and currently at the setup screen.

Note1: when using the recovery from the backup file itself the device rebooted before restoring. had to use my own backup

Note2: essentially I also got rid of the Chinese firmware :P

[Thinkpad Tablet General] gbraad:
Tried to update to ICS and bootloop/stuck again

To apply to ICS update I needed to modify the update.zip a little. When the system is running you enable USB debugging. Connect the tablet

[gbraad@lulu adk]$ adb push ~/TPTRecover/busybox /sdcard/busybox

[gbraad@lulu adk]$ adb shell

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount /system

# cd /system/xbin

# mv busybox busybox.ext

# cp /sdcard/busybox ./busybox

# chown root.shell busybox

# chmod 755 busybox

# exit

$ exit

Removed the indigo assert lines from META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script (maybe even the version check). And applied the update from the recovery menu; in this case this was still CWR (although I had to install my own backup again). Wiped cache before the restore...

The update got applied correctly... but on reboot it was again stuck on the Lenovo logo (no green nvidia tegra logo appeared). I suspected the boot .img does not get applied or flashed correctly. Since restoring this is essential to make the device boot normally again. Can you only update ICS from the stock recovery? Any clue or assistance is appreciated.

Note1: for the moment I restored nandroid again and run Honeycomb 3.1 (ROW)... having a Google market on a Chinese tablet is already a lot better.

Note2: below you can find my partition table. made a dump of all these just in case. Partition 7 seems to be the trouble for me? If so, can anyone provide me with an image for it?

Note3: after updating using CWM I also notice it does NOT remove clockworkmod with the stock recovery... this confirms my suspicions about the boot.img

This is my backup made using nvflash.

Hope it helps.

I am using a ROW ICS stock rooted rom.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gbraad:
Does not seem to work...

... applied the update (reboot, nothing), flashed 07.lnx.img (reboot, nothing)

Only rolling back the ROW nandroid seems to work at the moment. I have tried pwstein's US image of ICS: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30799431&postcount=7 but also to no avail. Same problem... a static lenovo power-up image is shown. Seems more is needed to get ICS running on the tablet than what the nandroid images provide.

Does anyone have the stock recovery image?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] berbecverde:
Maybe if you flash all partitions using nvflash if would be ok.

If you can tell me how to back up all my partitions i can give it a try.

Right now i have the following partitions backed up:

04.ebt.img

06.sos.img

07.lnx.img

08.app.img
[Thinkpad Tablet General] gbraad:
Fixed. The solution was to also allow the EBT to update, partition 4. I included an attachment with the files and a small script...

I had recently rooted my phone and had installed Titanium backup using which I backed up all the apps+data.

Using Titanium backup I tried to remove a stock app provided by lg. During this process the phone rebooted twice and after that I saw that the phone had been reset to the factory settings.

I restored by following the below steps

Titanium backup > Backup/Restore > menu > batch > Restore > run Restore missing apps + all system data.

After restoring I observe that the phone is not being able to connect to any wifi, however previously when it was in factory reset it was being able to connect to wifi. Could anyone please help.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paul.n:
It would be the best of you would factory reset again. If you have a custom recovery, then reboot into it(either from ROM Manager or with phone off holding Volume Down+Home+Power) and wipe data, cache etc. If you haven't got a custom recovery, then power your phone off and use the key combination above. It should work.

And don't use "restore system data" option in Titanium. Better restore individual apps in the "Backup/Restore" without going into the Batch mode.

[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1lent Echoes:
Which setting/file are the system settings saved in? Things like the nav bar, notification bar, display, account syns, etc....? I know all about the pitfalls of restoring system data across different ROMs and for those cases, I just bite the bullet and redo all of those settings. But it seriously takes an hour or two to go in and redo all of those settings and if a RM is getting updated every couple of weeks, this just gets way too tedious for it to be worth it.

I know I can just do a system data + app and data restore for those cases and I do use that but there are times when I do not want every single thing restored and it would be nice to know which file all of those settings are saved in. I tried tinkering with just a few of those but I could not seem to find it.

Thank you in advance for any help, much appreciated.

And/or which file(s) cause the android.process.media to stop working and in general causes apps to crash? Also, does the Android ID cause/affect that? Thanks again.

[Edit] After much trial and error, I found the cause of the android.media.process and all apps in general crashing as a result problem(s). It was the file(s) Download Manager eng.prbassplayer and/or Downloads eng.prbassplayer inside Titanium Backup - Restore System Data selections. Just fyi for those wanting to know. I restored all other system and app data besides those and had no problems whatsoever with all Interface settings restored. I still did not figure out which file restored the Interface settings, if anyone could still shed some light on that.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmarinos:
This post relates to custom ROMs and restoring stuff with TB. Hoping someone can help.

I have been playing with Resurrection Remix for the last 7 months and have recently switched to Vanilla Rootbox.

With these two ROM's (and probably others) when an update is released a wipe/factory reset is required before installing the update. This causes a great amount of inconvenience as I have to manually re-setup all my shortcuts/widgets, email accounts, custom settings such as custom settings (toggles, etc...) ringtones and notifications sounds and so on.

All this takes ages and I'm getting a little tired of having to do it. There must be an easier way? Can this sort of stuff be restored with TB? I could be wrong but I don't think it can.

Many thanks.
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grigtm:
try to save them in TB, if you can find in TB and save them it will be restored to any rom you will use in future
[Optimus One, P500, V Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S1lent Echoes:
I was under the impression that those settings caused problems if formats were needed and especially between different ROM's?

And yeah, tmarinos I definitely her you there. I have stopped using those extra customizations for my ROM, though I can usually restore my home screen and app drawer settings safely, thankfully.

The developers of my ROM (Slim Bean) have started that they want to include a feature to restores those settings between resets, so hopefully that type of feature becomes more integrated as time goes on. Hopefully.

On another note, my phone's TB is having issues. When it runs an automated scheduled backup task, it keeps saying "insufficient storage" but if I manually run that exact same task it runs just fine. Anyone have any idea what that's about?

Okay PA ppl, i know you love PA. i've been using it over my SGS2 since then.

We all know that the hybrid engine is wicked. But since 4.2 is out, we could expect a lot of changes from the new upcoming PA.

what i expect:

-Of course, the new QuickSettings with hybrid engine compatibility. Some says its not good. Hey, i spend more time open the settings rather than toggling those buttons all the time. Though, notification toggles are really handy, maybe we could expect those two in one pull down notification or an option to enable either.

-I have read that the lock screen will provide widget support. well thats really cool. but i can't exactly say how hybrid would be implemented in that portion.

anyways. have your thoughts shared here about the 4.2+PA.

Navbar customisation like AOKP. I know by shrinking status bar will make the navbar being shrinked also. But the problem is, the "touch area" and the glow of navbar also being small. It becomes really hard to touch (using phone mode).
