!!!! Learn something new every day! Very helpful, thank you. Never noticed this happening before, but I'll make sure the screen is always on when I connect. Is it bad for the tablet to turn off the display while connected? Do I need to keep it awake until file transferring is finished?
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
OMg dont do that!! never means NEVER let the screen turn off while connected. You WILL SOD. i cant stress this enough. unless you like the reset hole!

Got it!

-------

I was trying the non-overclocked version of this ROM out last night, the non-overclocked version, and both launchers I have tried (Apex and Holo HD) keep crashing periodically when I pull out widgets and try to resize them. The launcher basically disappears and does not reappear until system reboot. I have run the V6 optimizer, and this happens with both the Rock Hard setting and the Rock'n'Roll setting. This didn't happen when I tried the overclocked version of the ROM beforehand.

Also, something I noticed, is that APEX launcher seems to result in graphics glitches every once in a while, like a bad GPU overclock. It happened a lot with the overclocked ROM and once with the "stock" ROM only while using APEX (but I barely used it on stock -- mostly sticking with Holo HD).

And finally, Google Calendar sync doesn't seem to be working here either =/ No option to sync / no calendars available, even though my Gmail account is definitely linked to a calendar that I use daily.

Could anyone point me to a file where I can change stock launcher settings? Stock launcher is the only one so far that does not crash continuously - Apex and Holo HD both crash a lot, when switching from portrait to landscape by turning the tablet, when pulling widgets out onto home screens, etc., etc. Have to reboot often =/ Stock launcher works fine so far, but the bottom dock is clearly meant for phones more than for tablets, and there's no reason to have side margins. Since there are basically zero accessible options for the stock launcher in the system settings, is there a way to activate them or manually edit the launcher file somewhere? I'd also like to change icon DPI. I had a look at build.prop, since I had seen a reference to it in another thread, but it doesn't appear to have the configurations I'm looking for. Default DPI is 160, but icons are still quite small, so there's scaling happening elsewhere. If only launcher settings were available from the system panel! Thanks in advance!!!

P.S.: Apologies for the 2nd post - should have edited my post above to add.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
There are no special way to get settings for stock launcher2. You can change the DPI to 120 or even 140 to get the tablet feel and the launcher will change its UI with it. Changing within the build prop is one way or using a app such as "DPI Density Modder" from the play store will also help it make it easier. I would suggest when using this app don't allow the app to reboot the device. After setting the DPI with the app and saving the changes. Power down then reboot it yourself. Then you will have less chances of a boot loop like many others have had when using it a while back.

[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
I have tried changing to 140DPI in build.prop, and it changed nothing except make the icons slightly smaller. The persistent dock is still there, as is the persistent search bar at the top, along with wasted space on the side margins =/

Any ideas why other launchers crash? The stock is the only stable launcher so far, and even that crashes on the lockscreen. Basically the lockscreen graphic doesn't show up - just the background wallpaper. I can swipe to the right to unlock, but basically doing so blindly, swiping at the location where the "unlock button" should be but does not actually get rendered. Once past the lock screen, the stock launcher's been doing okay.

I did a completely clean install, deleting everything possible, even reformatting internal storage again (4096/0).
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
is there no "settings>launcher"?
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
There are no Launcher settings present at all, as well as no way to customize the battery indicator (percent vs. graphical indicator) or the lock screen. It's very minimalistic, hence my questions here.

These are all the options available below the standard stuff ("About tablet" is the very last option on that list):

The "Development options" tab doesn't contain those settings.

I went to other launchers for some customization, but they keep crashing and are hence not practical. I do wish there were a "Launcher" tab though, because swapping between installed launchers was a bit of a pain without a good quick shortcut in the settings.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
those are CM features...and this is AOSP jellybean
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Actually launcher placement in the setting should be populated by the launcher itself, AOSP, AOKP, CM-10 or which ever launcher you have. Once intalled the placement of those settings options get placed in the system settings, just like setting up different accounts. If the launcher has alternative settings those options should link up with the system settings to give options.

I have been running Smooth all week for diagnotic reasons. Would like to try this on out one more time. I will have to expand my System partition to 300m in order to do this so it might be a while.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
If you know of a way to get to launcher settings outside of going through that menu, please let me know. I can't find any way to access any launcher settings for the launcher that comes with this ROM and demonstrating that there's not even a link to them from the main menu.

I decided to try this ROM to see if I could improve performance a bit with ODEX and the built-in V6 optimizer, and so far it's been very good - just the odd non-stock launcher crashes / lock screen issues, and lack of customization through the main menu are frustrating.
[G Tablet Android Development] redeyedjedi:
i just dont think stock launcher is like that. but...you can use "solid explorer" or something like it, and pull trebuchet or launcher2.apk from smootherbean rom, and place in /system/apps then give it permissions, and then youll have your settings you want.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
edit: Stock Launcher2.apk is already in /system/app/ with proper permissions - automatically with the ROM install.

Doesn't smoother bean use APEX? I've tried APEX from Google Play already, and it crashes.

I also need ODEX versions of each apk for this ROM, don't I? Or are those created automatically?
[G Tablet Android Development] JediBrooker:
thanks!

i must say "congratulations" on this ROM. I've tried to install that of JB ROMs with no success - kept getting 3 birds bootloop. asked for help on the other forums and no responses.

im very happy that this installed at all!

everything seems pretty smooth so far, except for a slight lag every now and then.

thanks!!! keep up the good work :)

LagFix improved UI hesitations

Hello,

I've been using this ROM since it's release and it's been just great. It finally brought my gTablet to pleasurable usability.

However, I did occasionally experience slight hesitations/delays where the UI just stopped for a few moments. I learned that I had to be patient and just let it come back. But sometimes that was very annoying.

I have found the app called LagFix to substantially reduce these delays. Although I can offer no hard numbers on my experience of improvement, I'd recommend this to any who are experiencing delays or hesitations with the UI.

FYI: Due to the nature of the problem being dealt with, delays will slowly begin to return as the tablet storage is rewritten over time, so LagFix should be re-run when delays creep back to an unacceptable level.

Again, thanks for such a great ROM and a very supportive community!

[G Tablet Android Development] jhermit:
Repartitioning my SD card to 4096/0 made a big difference in reducing lags and freezes especially when browsing.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Alright here is what I did. I went ahead and ran the NVflash package in the OP to gain the 350m system partition and loaded up the non-OC version of this ROM. After setting everything up (Google Account, TIBU, and setting my display to 30 sec.) Apex Launcher is in my TIBU and it loaded up onto the data partition just like on Smoother Bean. Pressed my Home button softkey and set Apex as default and so far Apex is holding strong. Granted in the System Settings the Lancher tab will not populate as stated earilier, but when pressing the Menu hard key button on the side the option populate there and you can enter into the Apex settings there. (See attached Screenshots).
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Thank you for trying this out!

Yes, I got some launcher settings upon installing custom launchers, but they seemed to crash periodically. It wasn't immediately apparent, but dragging out email widgets and apk icons crashed it time to time, as well as some other actions. With the stock launcher, options are very bare in this menu too:

(apologies for the poor quality - can't find an option to take a screenshot)

Is your Apex stable? I installed mine straight from the app store. It was only unstable on the non-overclocked version of this ROM -- seemed okay on the overclocked version, but I did not keep that one for long.

I did that as well, and there's very little lag. Lag appears when there are too many background processes, so instead of re-setting process limit to 1-2 every reboot, I'm very active about swiping away recently started activities, which helps immediately as soon as any lag happens.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
I have had the device suddenly reboot when I am not using it, but as far as the UI crashing the answer would be no. I used the free version of ScreenShot ER from the playstore to get screenshots and uploaded them to Dropbox. Sinces AOSP doesn't have a screenshot option you have to use a app.
[G Tablet Android Development] Photoelectric:
Hrm... Well that's odd that yours is stable and mine isn't :( I wish I knew why my ROM is not getting along with custom launchers. My install was completely fresh, everything deleted and reformatted, nothing from back ups. I also did run V6 optimizer and tried both the Hard Rock and Rock 'n' Roll options. With Rock 'n' Roll there was one sudden reboot, so I went back to Hard Rock, and it's quite stable so far.

P.S.: An SOD out of the blue :( Just never woke up from sleep when I left the tablet laying around. I guess I'm going back to BL 1.1 and something like VEGAN ROM =/ Too bad, because I really like these 4.* ROMs.
[G Tablet Android Development] nobe1976:
Thats probably the culprit, V6 optimizer. It might be setting the Launcher into the memory and for some reason the UI will not allow another Launcher to take its place. Haven't SuperCharged it yet, but I might just go ahead and reset the Stock launcher to default and then V6 it to see if that is it. Will post results.
[G Tablet Android Development] jhermit:
I run V6 without problems. My launcher has always been Nova

Is there any English firmware available for Optimus G Korean version F180L(E973). I searched in the internet,but could find some Canadian/US firmware but it seems to be related to carriers. I’m looking for a carrier free English firmware. Also is there any flastool available to flash stock firmwares for LG phones or do I need to flash it through CWM only? Appreciate any pointers for firmware,flashtool and CWM.

I have a infinity 700, and my son did the pattern attempts and locked it. I have been unable to use my google account to unlock it (maybe due to i'm traveling and not on my saved wi-fi)

I have tried a soft rest and hard reset. Both only reboot and go to the username/password screen.

The functions that I have tried, power and volume down or up, I get a vibration after 5-10 sec and then standard boot.

Reset button on side both while holding the power buttons and volume buttons....no success.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Wow, so you can't even wipe data/factory reset? Don't hold down the power button too long when trying to access the recovery, for it will initiate a reboot then, ; ) Do you have WiFi access *somewhere*?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missmary:
Hi there,

SO after I went through the root process (from galaxynote2root dot com) terminal worked fine however the device﻿ will not boot up CWM. It only boots into standard android recovery mode. I switched on my phone, downloaded a root checker app and it says it my phone isn't rooted. I can't even use Triangle Away to reset my custom binary count.

I am a noob, yes, but it's not my first rooting a phone. I followed the instructions perfectly but this problem persists (and increases my custom binary count:mad:) AND I know I'm not the only one with this problem.

HELP please.

1. Why do you need root anyway?

2. If you really need it, use CF Autoroot, found in Original Development.

I tried CF Autoroot. Didn't work either. I'm going to just use a PC. :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coro4:
Coming from a phone with microSD extension, I had never encountered such an issue:

I bought this phone with a stock 4.2 Rom installed and tried to install a custom Rom. I first installed the latest version of touch recovery (tried it and it seemed to work fine) and did a backup using the default settings. Then I erroneously chose to format system and data, thinking that I could then "install from zip". Strangely, these steps deleted everything in the /sdcard directory and I couldnt select "external SD" (because the phone isnt equipped with it anyways?). Then I made a second mistake and restarted the phone, despite the message warning that I no longer had an OS installed. I took the battery out, and then held the power down while pressing the power button. The phone couldn't get into recovery, but instead showed a screen with the android logo, a large "Start" sign above it, and "Downloading...", "Do not turn off target !!" below it. Pressing the power button now got the phone to show just "Google" and a lock logo under it. The PC (windows 7) can not detect the phone throughout the process.

I tried the latest tool kit and samsung's USB driver but couldnt get the phone recognized by the PC.

Does this mean that the phone is doomed???

Please help!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jocalderone:
Relax, it's not easy to 'doom' your Nexus. Especially with all the hard-workers in XDA :D

Try accessing Recovery mode by holding down BOTH vol up + vol down, as well as power. Holding just vol down + power is 'Download Mode', and at the least you can get to this. Means your phones far from doomed :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coro4:
Thanks a lot for the reply!

As a matter of fact, I also figured out how to get back to recovery (if only I had read your post earlier, my pain would've been much less!). But the problem remains that I can not get a target ROM onto the phone, since: 1. whatever I did seemed to have gotten rid of the nand backup supposedly stored in /data/media/TWRP/BACKUPS/ (I'm using TWRP V. 2.3.2.1). 2. I can not get my PC(or Mac, for that matter) to recognize the phone or the internal storage.

Any pointer from here?

Thanks again!!!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] whpsnp:
You can download a factory image and install with fastboot. It's quite easy and instructions are readily available on this forum. You can then install a custom ROM afterwards if stock is not your thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] coro4:
Found the answer finally!

It's the adb push method. Basically, it's to install adb drivers and execute a few commands via the command window. Not too bad... Don't know much about fastboot yet though ... If anyone else needs more details, please PM me (to save public bandwidth).

Thanks a lot anyways, whpnhp and jocalderone!!!

[HTC Rezound] NilayS:
I bought a used phone on ebay with bootloop issue (HTC logo Screen), it was locked, S-ON, on stock, so i thought flashing an RUU will bring it back to life. And it did. I flashed the latest global RUU and made my HBOOT-2.27.0000, RADIO-2.22.10.0801r/2.22.10.0803r.

Then i used hasoons all in one kit, HTC dev unlocked, installed cwm 6.0.1.5 and rooted the phone by flasing superSU 0.98.

Now i started facing same problems. It Hanged, became unresponsive and then rebooted a couple of times before coming back on. Sometimes it wouldn't start with out a battery pull. Yest it went again on the HTC Bootloop suddenly. I did the battery pull couple of times but it wudn't start, so i went to cwm recovery did a factory reset/data wipe, cache wipe, dalvik wipe, Fixed permission. It booted for 5mins and again went to bootloop.

While cleaning i got an error several error in log.. (Also See the attached screenshot pic)

ck/mmcblk0p36

E:failed closing /dev/block/mmcblk0p24 (I/O error)

&

Failed to open: /sys/class/android_usb/android0/state: No such file or directory

I thought may be the rom had a problem. SO i did a clean wipe and flashed NilsP Business ICS 4.03 sense 3.6 v6.x latest one. Left it over night to settle. and today again the same thing happened. It Hanged, became unresponsive and then rebooted.

Any idea whats the problem and how to solve it ?

Is it a software issue or hardware issue ?
[HTC Rezound] NilsP:
This sounds like the RUU did not completely install causing a problem with one or more system areas. Specifically the misc block that gets updated by the RUU.

This could be if the RUU didn't reboot and try twice since it takes atleast 2 passes of the RUU to install everything.

Download the RUU from my thread and reinstall it again making sure it runs through the install atleast twice.
[HTC Rezound] NilayS:
Ahh Ok... i am downloading the RUU.. I am on S-ON with cwm 6.0.1.5

Are these the steps i would have to follow to update the with RUU again ?

1) Do a clean wipe and remove the business ics rom with superSU. (Your rom installed a boot.img, has anything to be done to change that boot.img?)

2) Reflash the stock recovery (Any good links to get the stock recovery?)

3) Re-lock the bootloader using fastboot.

4) Flash The RUU 3 times.

5) Keep it overnight untouched

6) Flash Business ICS v6.3 next morning

Are these the only steps ? Or did i miss anything ? Or did i go over board?

(BTW i am using the Phone in India purely on GSM 900/1800mhz bands and 3g on 2100mhz and it works flawlessly without any RF calibration from my end.)

Gosh I screwed Up.. Stuck At HTC Screen and Download mode

Nils Looks like i screwed up. Now i am stuck at HTC bootloop and Download mode only. The RUU also doesnt get flashed any more nor does the bootloader get unlocked-relocked.

Here's what happend

I was on Business ICS v6.3 with cwm 6.0.1.5. I wiped the rom clean, re-locked my Bootloader with fastboot oem lock

Flashed the ICS RUU from Business ICS thread download link.

It installed all the 17-18things once, then rebooted it self, installed again and then said press power button to reboot. (So i thought 2 times is done)

I pressed the power button and it booted to stock rom, left it aside for a 15minutes, skipped the setup by pressing home button, let it sit for again 30mins and started installing apps.

Suddenly it got unresponsive and rebooted. Ahh.. the same problem continued and i realized by 2 times u might have meant 18steps once, auto reboot, again steps once, power button reboot, hold down vol key, and then flash again.

I realized that so i rebooted to bootloader again and re-flashed the RUU, it flashed in just under 3mins just one time 18 steps and gave a msg press power button to reboot.

I pressed the power button it rebooted flashed HTC screen twice and went to download mode (or stock recovery whatever it is called). I have tried turning it on several times but the same thing happens. (See the attached pic)

I even tried reflashing the RUU several times, but it just goes one pass in under 2mins and says press power button to reebot. After reboot the same HTC bootloop and download screen appears.

Did i brick it ? Will this help ? [UNBRICK]Wanna unbrick your Rezound? (9/8, Episode VI, Return of The Zip) ?

Dont know how to recover it again. What should i do ?
