[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phhoenyxx:
So I finally received the Android 4.2 Takju OTA a few minutes ago and I've noticed a little bug with the task switcher when using a Live Wallpaper.

When hitting the Task Switcher button, the Wallpaper or Live Wallpaper is supposed to appear (faded) with a list of all active tasks.

When using a regular Wallpaper, this is still the case; but when using a Live Wallpaper (only tested it with Galactic Core), all you get is a black screen (no faded Live Wallpaper) with a list of all active tasks.

Has anyone else noticed this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnustomp:
Same here. I suppose that's intended. Tested with android live wallpapers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phhoenyxx:
Maybe, but it wasn't like that from 4.0 to 4.1.2. I remember seeing a faded Live Wallpaper when using Task Switcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zeinzu:
Probably meant to ensure smooth transitions for the task switcher.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gnustomp:
They changed the way the recent apps menu works now. Instead of being drawn over the current activity which is in the background, it now draws itself and hides the current activity into the switcher. (bad explanation)
[HTC One X+] DubsUK:
I have an OTA update from Vodafone UK which won't install. I choose to install and my phone turns itself off and then I have to turn it back on whereupon it tells me there is an update to instal!

I unlocked by bootloader and tried to ADB the CWM for a One X (not One X+) and the recovery didn't work (I'm new to this :( ). I think this is probably the cause of my problem.

Can anyone provide the stock recovery so I can put it back, or is there another way to do this (maybe pu a different version of CWM on)? The One X+ was from Vodafone in the UK although I suspect the recovery is generic?

Thanks in advance.....

Guys, I'm having the same issue and my GTA III is the bought one, last version, 1.3! I can even send the google play store's e-mail if you want me to.

Actually, I have these bugs:

- Sometimes the cutscenes freeze up and I have to skip them;

- I have the same menu problem, after sometime it disappears and I can't save, I can't do anything...

I've already tried this:

- Clear cache;

- Dynamic shadows off;

- Different resolutions / graphics;

- Killing every background app before playing.

Is anybody out there suffering the same problem? Every other game plays just fine, actually I just bought Dead Space and it's working great... It's just with GTA III.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YakirOz:
Hi, I have a galaxy s that I can't get into recovery mode.

It has stock rom and it is rooted. Everytime I try to get into recovery mode by pressing Vol up + power + home it gets me to the opening screen. Galaxy S I9000 in white and gets stuck. Also happens when I try to use ROM manager to reboot into recovery.

Any suggestions? (Thank you :])

[Acer Iconia Tab A100] haoleflip:
I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here, but it's so annoying. I don't know why this device can't be factory reset from the actual recovery like EVERY other Android ever made. I have tried multiple instructions, including the instructions on the actuall Acer website, but to no avail. I either get a message saying something about starting bootloader protocol or a message saying "Erasing SD Cache" and something about an update and then the recovery pops up. I can't get it to say "Erasing user data."

Is there an easier way? Is loading a new stock ROM easier than trying to factory reset this thing? I bought this device from someone and there is a pass code on it. I can no longer get a hold of this person to get the lock code. I just want to get it back to factory settings, but this is the worst device I've ever dealt with!

Remove the external SD card then power on holding volume + then toggle the lock switch when the screen turns on. Basically follow the directions after removing the SD card and trying again.

The device is quite simple to use and setup if you do some reading on it.
[Acer Iconia Tab A100] haoleflip:
I tried this same method I don't know how many times this morning. The only thing i got was stock recovery, a message saying something about bootloader protocol or a message saying "Erasing SD cache" but then it shows an error in recovery, saying it was not found or something. Also, there has never been an SD card in my device to start with.

I have done all the reading there is to do. I think I just have something wrong with this specific device.

Yeah I would suggest doing the restock recovery and ICS method then, sounds like it was reverted to stock and didn't work out, following that thread should get it reset and up again .
[Xperia Play General] pielover66:
I know I haven't made any contributions to the forum, but then again I have always been more of a lurker.

The Xperia Play r800at was my first smartphone. It brought me to this magnificent site where I read as much as I could about rooting. (I have been a big jailbreaker since the first gen ipod touch)

I flashed doomkernel, tested a bunch of roms, and shaped my play to fit my style. Everyone I knew loved my phone even if theirs had better specs.

Unfortunately, with all the new phones coming out with quad-core processors and JB, I couldn't hold off my upgrade any longer. A few days ago I upgraded to a Galaxy Note 2. As much as I love my new phone, I will miss the gamepad, I will never get rid of my play, and I won't forget how this sub-forum in particular brought me into the world of android modification.

I can't thank you guys enough.

In January is when the carriers are due to release the stock JB updates to our phones. Recently there have been JB leaks from Samsung for GS3, GS2, and N7000 with new TW nature UI. These leaks are supposedly the same files sent to US carriers to make there updates for US phones, it's what they use to add all their bloatware and remove features and then send OTA updates to us for our devices.

Hello Guys,

I've been trying to download the V10F firmware from the lg firmware website ( xda isn't letting me post links just yet..)

And the most i get is about 10kb/s. Since it's a big file, it'll take me about 20 hours.. That's very old fashion haha... and i'm very eager to flash my phone!!!...

Is this normal? Do you guys know any other place to download it? I can't seem to find it anywhere else...

I've tried downloading in other lap tops, etc.. with my bandwith i could download very very much faster.. i guess it's the website?

Thank you!

[Nexus 10 General] Woody:
So I was reading a blog outside of XDA (yes that is right, I do read other sites) and came across this interesting thing that I thought I would share. Plus this is a pre-emptvie strike against all the spawn threads popping up asking this.

In previous Android builds the Developer Options was in Settings>scroll to near bottom and there is was. Now in 4.2, that setting is gone. Well not really. It IS gone from plain sight, but it is still there. Seem those crafty OS builders decided to hide it from you.

All you have to do is go to Settings>About Phone/Tablet (this is for N4 and updated N7 too) and click on the Build Number a few times --->[Think about when you are mashing the screen to find the Easter Egg. It is similar to this]. It should start counting down. Repeat the process until it states, "You are now a developer". Then you can back out to the main page of Settings and your Developer Options should now be there.

Please note, I said

Build Number

and NOT

I am so ****ing fed up with this phone. please someone help me out... after loving it for months I'm so close to selling it. just problem after problem on any Rom I try. right now I can't even use my phone to make calls. it rings on the other end but there is silence on my end. I tried clearing phone data in apps, tried fixing permissions, rebooting several times. I've had this issue on each Rom on and off. right now on cm10.. forget the exact nightly but I think the one after stable.

I just don't understand. it has to be something I'm doing or not doing since everyone else is having luck getting reliability. could using cwm instead of twrp somehow make for a more reliable flash? what else could I possibly try? maybe someone could list exact steps of how they're flashing, and what they're using to do so.

Your not restoring the data for apps on tibu are up? And jellybean for the note is a wip we do not have an official kernel source so its gonna be wonky sometimes.

maybe I'll try going back to ics. disappointing since jb had some nice features. I've tried restoring just apps and apps plus data. but I've also flashed roms where I didn't need tibu and still same issues. but so many people are claiming reliability on these jb roms. not sure if mine is different or they just have lower expectations
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Deep Breath....then pause, and think about this for a minute...

It is "VERY" likely that your problems are user related...(not to sound mean or insulting, because I do "NOT" intend to be..) But...

Roms coming to us are for the most part...clean. A factory build with mild tweaks, and certainly stable for every day use.

The problems come when users dont "clean" the device properly on a fresh flash, or they restore bits of previous rom data from non-compatible builds.

Now I make screw up's too, after nearly 10 years of android hacking. I'll forget a wipe function, or restore an app with TIBU that should "NOT" get put back without a clean app install.

Long story short, the roms here are solid in the ICS realm, and are very good in the JB side too....

I suggest Blackstar as a top pick, also the UCLF6 ICS build #5 from flappjaxxx....

Both are rock solid, and if you exhibit any problems beyond the normal android hickups, then it is likely a user/device issue, and not the rom itself....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
To follow Sarge, try a clean install of all apps from the market. Its a pain to reenter data, etc. but it sounds like you're already in pain.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] bhaskell:
Its really not that difficult. I will agree that some roms are more stable than others. Most of the JB roms do have some random issues. Here is the thing though. When you start flashing custom roms, you need to accept that you might encounter minor issues. If you are not willing to live with those issues or find work arounds, then you need to flash back to stock and be happy.

Keep in mind that devs have source code to work with ICS roms. Since Samsung hasn't dropped JellyBean source for this device, the current builds are all based on the google opensource code, without many of the device specific drivers.

Others have mentioned and I agree 100%, reinstall all of your user apps out of the play store. I don't trust any of the app backups from TiBU or any other tool. I also do a complete wipe and format everything between roms. You have to have some level of patience to dabble in the custom rom world, and it sounds like you might be missing that. See what you got after an initial install, don't overclock or change any performance settings...Install just the basic apps, from the play store and see how things work for a day or so. If things seem smooth, then add some more apps. Many people try and do too much at one time, which make isolating the problem nearly impossible.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] cgibsong002:
ok, right now I'm on novena... I really hate ics after using jb, but it appears to be quite good so far at least. been on it for a few days and not really any issues. this time I also installed using cwm instead of twrp. apps were restored automatically with play store. sometimes that doesn't happen.. is there any way to install through play store if it doesn't do it automatically?
