[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
I use three different apps for backing up apk file the only downside is significant weight gain. Lots of people use titanium backup I do as well but really only for very little. I also use easy app manager and apk manager but often I`m stricken with considerable consumption of sdcard space so at this point I have scaled back to just using easy app manager for the majority. Things I really want to save I backup on my pc upload to Google drive and dropbox. Seems like overkill but time and time again I will get an update that is horrible and wish revert back to an older version and Google drive and dropbox are a mere download away without sucking away precious and limited kindle space. I don`t believe I know any more than anyone else I just do what is easy for me. I too flash Roms like crazy re-installing is and can be a weekly ritual depending on how smooth things are running. Guitarman2010 is right though A fresh install of your Rom is a very good idea. As for the adb issue there are minor device changes on jelly bean that can affect adb make sure you have the correct settings in developer options. In KFU delete this file and replace it http://db.tt/vXXeuL10 located in the kindle driver folder and reinstall the driver I have been making changes to it with ICS and jelly bean to keep adb working hope it helps.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Guitarman:
I usually keep 2 or 3 ROMs handy on the Kindle SD ready to be flashed.......I never take off the Amazon update (6.3.1) just to be safe. My backup apk folder only has 205mb of usage and I use File Expert to make backups of the apks. I too also use the PC for even more backups and 4shared so I can easily transfer apps back and forth from the Kindle to a crappy low-end Samsung phone running Froyo. I'm getting off topic here so I'll shut-up lol

.....when you hit the walls of sanity, you have no-where to go.....
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jma9454:
So I wiped cache, dalvik cache, factory reset. I didn't wipe SD card, cause i am hoping to get the files out eventually.Everything seemed fine, but I still can't connect it to the computer! I have it open to TWRP and selected mount, and same as before; no connected devices in device manager, no adb devices, and no autoplay window pops up to let me open files in the drive. I also had the 20121119 cm10/sgt7 in the sd card, so I flashed it, and rebooted, but I am still left at the CM logo. What can I do now? I replaced the file you said to in adb. I happen to have used Titanium Backup, too, a while back, so I have about 2/3 of my sideloaded apps.

Please help!

edit---

I was looking at other Q&A's to help and for help, and saw that Soupkit is recommended to a lot of people.

Would this help me?

OR could I do some sort of terminal commands inside the advanced section of TWRP?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Your kindle isn`t ruined and if your having mounting issues then Soupkit would work great. Before you do anything anything drastic I will take my laptop to work and help you fix your kindle.

but now i cant as it asking for permission

PLZ help
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
Rooting does not erase data.

Use the Root option, not Flash.
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
Are you using doomlord's zergrush root method? That's the method that you should use to root without losing data.
[Xperia Arc General] H20fluid:
If you are on 4.0.2.A.0.62(GB) Build, you have to flash the 4.0.2.A.0.42 firmware first because the 0.62 build cannot be rooted with 'zergrush'.when you've done this you don't have to wipe your data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MoHi96:
Okay, before I get flamed, hear me out. I really have tried everything. I've searched through every forum possible for a solution to this problem. But I just can't fix it!

I want to install the stock Android ICS MMS app because the TouchWiz one looks like ass. I tried to follow all steps as closely as possible, moving things around properly and fixing permissions. But every time, it gets access to all my messages, but when I try to send or view anything, it crashes. Every single time.

Any tips? Thanks so much in advance for your help.

Phone information disclosure:

Running the stock (rooted) UCLE5 4.0.3 update with a modified kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Waddle:
Try wiping the data on your phone. There's still the app data from the tw messaging app on the /data/data section in your storage so that could be causing it to crash. If that doesn't work then you're missing some framework files or something Like that which would be way to much work to put in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MoHi96:
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, that probably could be what it is. But I haven't done a full wipe in a while and I don't really want to do one. Thanks for the help though! But I don't want the stock messaging app that badly. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] knightsh:
Not a full wipe. Manage apps, clear cache on MMS.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I'm not sure you can install an AOSP mms app on a touchwiz Rom. Unless there's an app somewhere in the app and themes section. I was assuming you were just trying to rip it from an aosp based Rom and stick it in this other one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] zelendel:
As stated above, if you are using a touch wiz rom then you CAN NOT use any AOSP based app. You have to be on an AOSP based rom for it to work

How do you boot into the bootloader on this device?

I powered mine on and it went to bootloader, then I booted it up. Now I cannot get back into the bootloader.

I bought this retail and did not have them activate it yet, bc I wanted to transfer stuff from my rezound. I cant get passed the activation screen nor can I get into the bootloader

power+ vol down doesnt work for me

[TouchPad General] c19932:
now that the asus transformer tf300t is only $280, do you think it's worth the upgrade? I can probably sell my touchpad 32gb for $160 or so...

My main concern is the display. I read a lot on my touchpad and I feel like the resolution is not high enough. The TF300t has a 1280x800 screen resolution, which I don't think is that much higher than the touchpad.

any inputs?
[TouchPad General] ted619:
It maybe late for the advise but yes the update will be great here is a link where u can compare them plus Asus tp has 149ppi and touch pad has lower ppi...

[TouchPad General] sahhar1993:
Im going to upgrad to galaxy note 10.1 or tf201

Which one is better
[TouchPad General] ItsDon:
I was in the same boat. Frustrated with (but still loving) the Touch Pad and wanted something new, especially with all the deals going on. Best thing I did was take the blinders off and look at everything on the market. I went with the Samsung series 3 ChromeBook and couldn't be happier. Simply an awesome machine for doing what I do 90% of the time - hang out on the web. For the other stuff I still have and use my TouchPad but honestly, after using my TP every day for a year I just realized I haven't picked it up in a week. That says something. Tablets are great but they aren't all 'that'.
[TouchPad General] mike-y:
I had both a TP and a Galaxy tab 10.1 with a 1280x800 res screen. The higher resolution does make a pretty noticeable difference IMO. That's really the only thing that I didn't like about the TP when I compared the two.

I had to return the g-tab, but we just picked up a refurbed 16gb TF300 bundle that included the keyboard dock for $299. was too good of a deal to pass up.
[TouchPad General] ponyboy82:
I was really close to picking up that TF300 w/ dock, but finally decided to hold off for another "generation" of tablets. I've been eyeing the Note 10.1 or Nexus 10 though. To be honest, I barely use my Touchpad as it is though.

My girlfriends Kindle usb cable took a dive so i went on search for replacement coming across -

http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle-Micro-Cable-Keyboard/dp/B006BGZJJ4/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

A buyer remarked he was using on his GS3 so I did some research on it.

Its 2.0 capable and built to carry charge are device requires giving me the feel of perfect replacement .

I ordered 2 of them will be receiving on Wednesday .
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] boxer29:
are you saying that the other micro usb cable wont work

ive got this nokia micro usb cable ca-101 and it works with the iluv triple usb charger which has got one port as fast port which is 2 amp one

any comments
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sling:
No no not saying they wont work....its the performance aspects of cables.

kindle cable contained in link is 5-6ft long , allows usb sync , built for 2amp current flow and user reviews are solid which = Good quality.

A little explanation on why I'm buying new cable,

My stock is defective micro connection wasn't sure easily falling out of device.

I took it to ATT service center showed them what was up and they ordered replacement cables that sucked.

1st Rcable was too short -Samsung was only 3ft long.

2nd Rcable didn't sync to pc - Off the wall brand 6 ft long.

From that point I broke out utility knife modified stock cable cutting some plastic off sleeve on micro end.

Connections now sure but cable looks beat up so replacement was needed.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sling:
Well I received my Amazon Kindle replacement cable today :)

Kindle Cable is of good quality , connections are firm much better then stock oem that came with device.

I highly recommend it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] moglux:
Yes, from my previous post:

I've struggled with a variety of the longer, non-OEM micro USB cables - the Amazon Basics, cables from Monoprice, etc. I had problems with all of them, either not providing enough current, or just flaking out within a short time. At one point I thought my phone (EVO 4G) had a problem with the micro USB jack (it didn't). Then one day I found a great cable on Amazon:

Search Amazon "Mediabridge - USB 2.0 A-Male to Micro-B Cable (6 Feet)"

I've been using this cable for several years now, and it has proven to be very durable (I've run over it with my office chair a number of times), and has always provided the full current of the charger I am using with no issues at all. I purchased another one recently to use in another location, and the quality is the same. I've been using these cables with all of my phones, and currently with the Note II.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Asquared:
I'm using this one from Monoprice, with the standard OEM Samsung wall / desk charger that came with the Note II:

http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10303&cs_id=1030307&p_id=5458&seq=1&format=2

It's six feet long, and is a pretty thick cable. I used it today for the first time to charge my new Note II. Coupled with the standard Samsung charger, it charged my Note II from 12 % to 100% in two hours, thirty one minutes -- and that included charging during two incoming phone calls that each lasted about 10 minutes.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JosephL:
If my calculations are correct that's putting about 1120 Ma per hour into your phone.

I wonder if it would charge that fast on usb and have data too?

I also wonder how that compares to the stock USB cable that came with our charger.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Asquared:
Good questions. I was wondering the same things, particularly as the Monoprice cable is double the length of the stock one. At some point, I'll try both charging from my laptop with the Monoprice cable, and switching out and using the stock USB cable, for comparison purposes. My problem (well, not REALLY a problem at all!) is that my battery seems to be lasting around 27 hours, so it may be a while before I can get around to doing this:)!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JosephL:
My stock usb cable that came with my Samsung charger shows charging on USB, even though it's plugged into the wall.

Conversely, put my note on my 2 amp car charger and the note says charging on AC.

Something is not right with the stock setup. Sure it charges but it should read charging on AC if it's on AC.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JosephL:
Just did a test. Found a usb cable from another device and plugged that into the Samsung stock charger. Now it reads "charging on AC."

I used that same cable and USB on my desktop. My note said charging on USB.

I think the cable was the bottle neck on the charger and the usb port on the desktop is not putting out enough power to make the Note believe its on AC.

USB is USB as far as our desktop/ Note goes, but if you are using AC, then the cable becomes more important if you want the fastest charge. What's apparent is we didn't get a real charging cable with our Note II. .
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Asquared:
So far, I haven't had any problems with my stock Samsung USB cable. You can always try the Monoprice cable I mentioned in a prior post. Also, I've read on these boards that it sometimes helps to try different USB ports on your computer, and that it can actually make a difference in charging.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] risa2000:
Interesting topic I have been wondering about myself. The cable I got with my Note 2 is not good. The connector, when attached, is easy to move aside, does not hold in place and the sad thing is, it is original manufacturer cable.

I used several different cables and found out that the problem is the height (length) of the micro USB connector, which protrudes from the connector's plastic cover. The other thing I found is that standard Samsung cable, delivered with the phone is few fractions of millimeter shorter than any other cable I compared it to, and suffers from it.

Amazon basics cable I ordered recently might have the connector metal only barely longer, but holds much better (in fact it fits tightly and feels very well fixed in the socket). Contrary to some, I have not observed any problem when charging the phone with this cable and original charger. Maybe the newer cables are already adapted to the chargers as well.

The fact that the norm is not always the norm is also proved by original Samsung MHL adapter (with HDMI out). This has "micro USB" connector (here it is 11 pin though) which is roughly 1-2 mm longer than the one on supplied charger cable. This one gets "all way down" into the hole and still does not even touch the case with its plastic part (there might be ~ 1mm space between the plastic of connector and Note 2 case).

Now, when I look at potential micro USB cable for Note 2 I always check the length of micro USB metal part. It must be longer than original cable from Samsung, otherwise it will have flimsy connection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DigitalCoke:
Length

I try and use a shorter cable as the longer they get the more power you loose. I use a 6" inch usb A to B Micro. I love this cable because my phone can sit right next to my computer and its getting the max power.

i get them at cableforge.com

use this coupon it always works for me G5WJXH4F22MN

Is it possible to theme stock touchwiz jellybean?

I would like to theme it to look a bit less messy,and to have more of an aosp look.

What I would like to change the most is the status/navigation bar and all the icons in it,

and if possible the cascaded windows and their title bar's height and width.

Can I use zip themer or metamorph?

BTW I am using Team Unions ROM v2 I believe it is deodexed.

You can set default alarm tone. Maybe because someone hasn't found it yet, it doesn't exist?

Click on alarm on front screen or go to app

Click on an alarm, e.g. 9.30am

Click ADVANCED SETTINGS which does exist

Cliick Alarm sound

[HTC One S] fjjfrank:
This is my story

I have a One s from the netherlands unbranded

First i rooted my device becauase of titanium backup

Then i installed venom but i saw later the problems with hboot 1.14 so i have got WiFi problems

I installed the extra partions but it give no solution

Then i tryed to downgrade my hboot its worked i am now on 1.06

I installed venom again WiFi Works better but it is stil buggy tryed also different radio's

If i go back to stock will my WiFi then good working or not?

And will i than get the updates from htc get back

Of is there another thing that i can try?

Or must i do also supercid
[HTC One S] touch of jobo:
You can extract the radio.img, adsp.img and wcnss.img from the 1.53 RUU and dd them into partitions 17, 18 and 19 from recovery in an adb shell:

dd if=radio.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p17

dd if=adsp.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18

dd if=wcnss.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p19

You can also try taking them from a different RUU or OTA. I'm not sure about this but I think it's safest to use all 3 images from the same RUU or OTA.

-Jobo
[HTC One S] fjjfrank:
Thanks

I have got my phone back to stock now

WiFi Works great now

Only Mobile network not it stays on g and not on h
[HTC One S] sperad:
Hi, I had most likely the same situation than you.

Downgraded to hboot 1.06 and 1.53 RUU and wifi worked then, but was still buggy when trying ViperOneS / Trickdroid v8.

I installed extra partitions v1.84 and was better on Trickdroid v8 but still reconnecting very often, like every 30 seconds or so.

I moved to Trickdroid v7 TMOUS and WiFi works perfectly, you might want to try flashing extra partitions 1.84 and Trickdroid v7 TMOUS. :cowboy:

Hope this helps you move out of stock.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPhoneNexus:
I apologize in advance for being a noob and asking a very very silly question. I'm new to the Android platform and want to learn.

Here we go. I'm impressed by the UI of Stock Android that can be seen on Nexus devices (Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 4, they look and work so cool). No lagging, no fancy TouchWiz or anything. But Samsung Galaxy S2 has this touchwiz thingy. I recently got to know that the UI that I love (stock Android) is a part of CM10 (I mean, CM10 looks very much like it, and has added functionality compared to stock Android), and it can be installed on the Galaxy S2. Now there are a few things:

If I get an S2 and install CM10 on it,

- Will it be free of major bugs (there are a few bugs in every OS). But will it perform like the OS on those Nexus devices?

- Would it be a better decision, compared to getting a Nexus device (I don't want the Nexus 4 for some reason, and Galaxy Nexus, well, has slightly low-end hardware).

- Also, I was preferring a Nexus device only for the stock Android look and experience, but if I can get that on a rather flagship phone, why go for a Nexus?

I'll ask more questions once you fine folks post some replies. Please help me out... Thanks, help will be appreciated in non-Androidish terms (though I'm technically sound in all aspects, but i'm a noob when it comes to Android).

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluefa1con:
if you want bug free stock android buy a nexus *period*

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iPhoneNexus:
Thanks! What about other Custom ROMs? Are there any ones out there (apart from CM10) which look, feel, and work like Stock Android?

(not worth asking, but preferably with less bugs?)
