[General Questions and Answers] Soryuu:
Well there's tons of ways...

For music and media and all your other files on your SD, simple, put them on an external SD. If that can't happen though, even though its time consuming, Google Drive/Skydrive/Dropbox/ other cloud sites are an alternative- upload, then redownload again when you need to.

Contacts- through external SD, Google or SIM card (if you have that option).

Messages- I recommend SMS Backup and Restore on Play Store. Fantastic app.

Call logs- there's probably an app somewhere in the Play Store. Its never bothered me so I don't really know about this.

Google's sync services are usually really helpful with transferring data... Calendars, contacts, pictures, even apps (if its possible. I've had it work once before on ICS...).

There's probably some great apps in the Play Store that will cover everything else. Hopefully that should back up most- if not all- your data :)

[General Questions and Answers] rubberwheels:
Dude, thank you. Will my apps be automatically restored by just adding my google account? Or will I need titanium backup?
[General Questions and Answers] Soryuu:
Uhm. I'm not quite sure about that.

I was running stock GB 2.3.6, and the option for Google to backup my apps was there. So I was like "Sweet, should work" and then I flashed in RemICS-UX. As soon as I linked my Google account, it started downloading about 30 or so apps.

Then I went back to GB due to some issues. But then when I linked my Google account again, nothing happened. I ended up downloading 30+ apps again manually.

But maybe that's something they fixed in ICS, so maybe when you link your new Note II to your Google account it might automatically download everything again.

Im on clean rom lite and wondering if I can manually invert apps and if I can how do I do it. I have root explorer and can follow directions. I saw somewhere somebody said change the true to a false. Was that right and is that all I need to do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kintwofan:
You can, but there's a lot more to it. Think about it, if you change the background to black. Then all black text will be unreadable so you need to change that as well. I'm curious what app are tot wanting?

hey just got myself the note II yesterday and of course I went looking for apps on the samsung app store and I noticed something very troublesome and makes me very concerned....there is WAAY too many apps that wanna record, monitor and process your phone calls (whatever that means) for example a lightning live wallpaper...why the f***k would they want to monitor, record your phone calls? :confused: this is very alarming to me!!! is this some sort of new trend with android phones? am I the only one that finds this alarming? its getting very bad that we are loosing our privacy just because I would like to have a lightning live wallpaper! also am I being overly paranoid? what do you guys think? also I noticed this isn't happening or less frequently on the google play store....I find this very very suspicious and concerning...I wouldnt want some shady person auspiciously getting my sensative info and robbing me blind!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spycedtx:
I'm not saying all apps require all the permissions they require, but depending on what the app does and how it functions may dictate requirements that appear odd.

If the screen saver acts on phone state, it may need to know if the phone is ringing or in sleep state. Check the API docs, its a good way to see what functions need which permissions.

It's easy to cry that the sky is falling, but make sure it's not just someone dropping dirt from your roof.

[Asus Transformer TF700] ProcyonSJJ:
Quite some time ago, my tablet fell off my nightstand while plugged into the keyboard dock. Fortunately, nothing dramatic happened to either device, but I noticed that the small little clips that are meant to lock in when plugged into the dock chipped away. As a result, there's nothing that keeps my tablet securely locked on to the dock besides gravity and friction. Has anyone experienced anything similar, and is there any remedy that anyone has found? I know it's the fault of my own carelessness (I have since bought a case for it all) but it's really annoying when I don't realize that the dock is slipping away and whatever program happens to be running at the time crashes... Thanks.
[Asus Transformer TF700] adelancker:
No idea, mate.

Maybe you should contact Asus' customer service, maybe they have something useful to add.

[Asus Transformer TF700] pietpodlood:
well mine didn't fall or something like that but the screws inside the part of the dock that actually holds the tablet in place were unscrewing themselves, and because of the angle I couldn't tighten them myself so I ended up taking small pieces of black ductape and sticking it across all the screws inside there so they won't scratch the screen, it takes a little more effort inserting the dock and taking it out but it feels more secure in the dock, so if your latch is broken, you could try something similar to increase the friction

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkultraman:
hi all,

I got a problem. I am now using Nexus 7 with 4.2 (multi user support)

I have 2 users on my Nexus 7. I want to install the same APK on both users. I can install the APK on the primary user successfully. However, for the 2nd user, whenever I finished the APK installation, it states the APK is not installed.

Is there any settings or tick allowing me to install APK on the 2nd user?

Many thanks
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmm200:
You are doing it wrong...

When you set up a second user, they have their own account. On that user, open the Play store.

Under options, click Add account and enter the account you use on your main user.

Uncheck all the Synch options.

Now you will see all the apps you installed on the main user.

Just click Install on all the ones you want the second user to have.

They will install instantly - no download - and a symlink will be set to your main copy.

This way you never have two copies of the same app eating up your space.

At this point you can delete the Play store reference to your main account or just leave it.

Note: Don't use Root with multiuser until someone fixes it. Lag will make the nexus unuseable.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DRUGMONSTER:
Nice!

It's true, transferring the apk from ur computer to your android device using adb will make the apk visible to both the primary and secondary user.

What I did was:

Setup the adb thing (which was a quite an ordeal on it's own).

Then using the push command, transferred my apk to my device.

adb push C:\path\to\file\origianlFileName.apk /sdcard/Download/newFileName.apk

I chose a new filename (MCPE.apk) because the original had spaces and was long and hard to memorize.

The transfer was successful, but when I check to see if it was there, using ASTRO File Manager and also Windows,

the file name was the original file name (what it was called on my computer). Installing it at this point didn't work.

But then I renamed the file (using windows) back to "MCPE.apk" and THEN it installed correctly!!

YAY!!

Also before installing, I made the secondary user a developer, by that weird "Build Number" trick.

Not sure if that has any effect..
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aathava:
I am unable to install apk from my secondary user ,I even tried to rename the apks , I am able to download apps from playstore , the same apks install fine under the primary user , though enabled unknown sources option is greyedout for secondary user and I am not able to enable developer option for the secondary user ( the build tap procedure doesn't seems to work ) , I am on 4.4.2 , did anyone able to get through this ?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hkultraman:
I may know the issue.

If you install an APK on the primary user and if you have updated the version of such APK to a newer version before you install the original APK to the Second user account, you will have such problem.

So, make sure to install on both user accounts with same APK.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aathava:
Thank you hkultraman for your response , I even tried installing the same version of apk on both users , but its just failing to install only on the secondary , BTW i haven't updated the app on primary user ,

Will we be not able to enable developer option for secondary user ( Build TAP method ) ?

Fixed with a kernel change. I've used both. I see cwm being like iOS. It's simplicity makes it easy to maintain. The core features everyone NEEDS are there.
