[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
It could be a driver issue on the pc..

try this

download a pc app called usbdview . Do a google search to find it..

Run the program on the pc without the nexus plugged in. Delete all adb/ usb devices that you do not have physically plugged into your computer.

Plug in the nexus 7 refresh the list . Delete what ever comes up for the nexus 7..

Reboot the computer WITH the nexus not connected..

Install the NEXUS DRIVERS.. plug in the nexus and the computer should find the device as if its the first time used.

Try you tool kit again...

Sometimes when adb is started and stopped if there are several versions Windows can be confused and not stop the right driver but start a older version instead VERY Common windows usb issue. This works with any USB Trouble shooting for devices not just Android...

Good LUCK ..

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erica_renee:
The nexus drives are a One driver for all Nexus Devices... This should only be a issue if there are multiple copies of usb adb in the windows registry . The usb drivers need to be removed then re installed or will just create more conflict. Usb Is NOT SO PLUG AND PLAY as it was intended.. Sometimes just plugging a usb device from one usb port to another in some computers can cause windows to install another copy of the driver. This is mostly on systems with a usb hub then a usb 2.o hub on a different port.. and so on.

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
I think I just might have discovered a (relatively) painless and (relatively) quick method of rooting a stock Sony ROM. The following process was executed on an Xperia Mini with bootloader unlocked via testpoint method.

1. Flash stock .431 Sony ROM (downloadable from here)

2. Reboot and let the initial setup steps complete

3. Hotboot using FlashTool with EXtended Stock Kernel available here

4. You are now partially but not completely rooted as TB will inform you

4. Connect to Google Play and update installed apps.

5 This will also update Superuser (remember, we're hotbooted using the EXtended Stock Kernel so Superuser is installed by default.

6. When you update Superuser, most probably what it does is push the appropriate files and set the correct permissions into the operating system.

7. Reboot normally now (with the standard/regular Sony included kernel) and you'll find yourself rooted as can be verified by TB and rootchecker

Please hit the thanks button if this was at all useful. It would be awesome if somebody could corroborate this by independent testing as well.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
everyone knows flashing custom kernel with autoroot will automatically root your phone :/
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
this wasn't a permanent flash of custom kernel. i temporarily hotbooted the custom kernel, updated superuser then rebooted back into stock kernel and the root was still there
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] andogeek10:
Anyway this method is for unlocked bootloaders and why do such long procedure when you can have a rooted device with one simple step?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
well, if you want to have a completely stock ROM including stock kernel without flashing a custom stock kernel which you would otherwise have to do if you wanted root

so basically you're retaining everything stock plus you have root as well
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Rudjgaard:
naw, if you reflash kernel.sin without wiping data you retain stock kernel without loosing root..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rahimali:
thats my point, isn't it, you only have to permanently flash the stock ROM including stock kernel just once, that's it.

after that, you just hotboot once with extended stock kernel, update superuser, reboot normally and you're good to go :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] AndroidSoftmods:
Every one can root stock ICS with unlocked bootloader! So I found nothing new in your method except pain in the ass process! Isn't easily to flash autorooted kernel and switch back to stock if you want to use it
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
Actually the extend stock kernel is still stock kernel. The kernel binary is still the same as sony stock kernel, difference is just in ramdisk, added cwm and autoroot. If u already flash it, doesn't make sense to reflash stock kernel again. U got built in cwm without need to reinstall cwm after every rom flash, with the same exact kernel as stock kernel.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] tintin100:
One little thought : Many people might want root without unlocking the bootloader, because once you unlock it, there is no turning back. So, that does not sound as "everything stock" And moreover, unlocking bootloader is really a scary process for many. I myself got root first, and unlocked the boot loader months later.

Never mind.

Should have done my homework before posting.

Apparently it has something to do with app encryption in JB.

But still, I could successfully copy the pkg.apk from the asec mount and install it later on.

============================================================================

Hope this is not a repost.

I am running CM10.1. I think the stock does the same.

Can anybody educate me why Android decide to install the apps into the mounted asec device /dev/block/dm-XX rather than /data/app after a few apps installed?

What is the benefit of doing this?

My understanding is that this is for the phones that has external SD card.

On galaxy nexus we have none. Unless there is performance benefit, I don't see the point of doing this.

Is there an easy way to revert them back to the /data/app?

Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jellydroid13:
How did you pull the app?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chinabull:
First you have root your phone to do this. (Assuming you have done it already).

For example, I had "world of goo" installed.

shell@android:/ # mount |grep goo

/dev/block/dm-2 /mnt/asec/com.twodboy.worldofgoofull-1 ext4 ro,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noatime,barrier=1 0 0

Then you go directly to the asec mounted directory:

shell@android:/ # cd /mnt/asec/com.twodboy.worldofgoofull-1

shell@android:/mnt/asec/com.twodboy.worldofgoofull-1 # ls -l

drwxr-xr-x system system 2012-12-08 01:47 lib

drwx------ root root 1969-12-31 19:00 lost+found

-rw-r----- system all_a113 48148276 2012-12-08 01:47 pkg.apk

-rw-r--r-- system system 117558 2012-12-08 01:47 res.zip

The pkg.apk is the one you want.

As the days go on I feel like I'm using more RAM doing the same tasks. I haven't changed anything really and I went from having 1.03 free to now having 900ish free. What's up with that? And what's the point of 2GB if 1 of it will be used almost all the time. I know this is stock and rooting and removing bloatware will help, but this is crazy for stock isn't it?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Xstop:
Unused ram is wasted ram.

Android does a fine job with ram utilization. That's why most of the veterans of Android device will always tell you that Task Killers are a big no-no. There are very good articles regarding this, sorry don't have a link but try to do a google search.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
the purpose of having additional RAM is so that i can be used.

I'm running the Base v.5 and often have around 850M to 1G free.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jamesc760:
Don't worry about it. Android OS is based on Linux, and as such it's very efficient in memory utilization, unlike Windows.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iiDeadSeriousii:
Ok, I've just never understood how unused RAM is a bad thing. I always thought having free RAM was what you wanted. So should I even bother occasionally clearing RAM through the built in task manager? Won't these things drain my battery if I don't?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
they shouldn't have any noticeable impact. they should go into a very low usage mode...kinda like a sleep. if needed the app can resume quickly...if more RAM is needed, then the system will close these "sleeping" apps. i'd allow the system to manage your RAM.

back in the early days of Android there was a good reason to use task killers, but that is not the case in the newer devices. you can use the task manager to kill an app that's hung up or whatnot, but i'd suggest trying to break yourself of that habit....let the system do it's thing for a week or so and see how it goes.

btw...you want enough memory so that apps can do what they need to do when you want them to do it. so yeah, having a lil extra is a good thing but that's only because of "burst usage". if you run at 95% utilization most of the time, then when you have a sudden burst of activity your device may not have enough spare memory to use. but if your at 50% utilization you're fine.

So my battery has been running pretty decently throughout the day. Never have to charge it. Then I went to bed last night and decided not to put the charger in to treat it overnight. Starting at 23% but when I woke up seven hours later it was at 7%. I ran the code for wakelocks and it seemed to work, so I'm not sure what's up.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DeathmonkeyGTX:
Wow that's nasty. I'm hoping that this will be solved after a full wipe and some fresh custom firmware

Im still having issues but not that bad. Im still around 40-45%.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:

Well I let my phone further discharge then plugged it in and went back to bed haha.

Woke up to a fully charged phone about half an hour ago and unplugged it. Still at 100% with heavy texting and XDA app..

Doesn't make sense, but we'll see.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
All of a sudden my phone has been deep sleeping.

I haven't really touched it since I unplugged it which was nearly an hour ago and it's still at 100%.

Most I did was take 2 pictures and send a couple text messages and turn my phone to silent.

But the OS is still marked as 55%. F.uck logic?

Edit: Scratch that, phone suddenly reading 97%. What do?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
I dunno. I just no im not happy with my brand new phone not lasting a day off the charger. I only had it stock for an hour or two so im probably going to flash stock over the weekend and see how it runs for a couple days.

How heavy is your use? I'm almost convinced your drain is worse than mine.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] chrisphoenix7:
battery

The LG interface has a glitch with reading battery life. It bounces around quite a bit above 90%. It only gets exact at levels below 90%.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
That's fine, but the problem remains.

It's not -horrid- drain, but my phone has been running on battery for the past 3 hours with little interaction and it's at 80%.

I don't know what could still be dropping it. I'm not expecting a perfect battery especially when I've had it for a few days, just doesn't make sense.

Freeze some apps that run in the background or simply delete them.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I haven't bought TB yet. Makes it a little hard to freeze. :P

Besides, it's the Android OS that's draining it. It sticks to 51-55% no matter what.

Keep Awake is the only thing that's constantly running.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] gsrrr:
I thought 40-50% is normal for Android OS?

Lawbreaker on another forum said.

"And remember, it is a percentage. The fewer other tasks you perform with the phone, the higher percentage of usage the Android O/S will be.

Basically, if your usage was 25% Display, 15% GPS, 10% Sync, 50% Android OS, and then you stopped using the display, turned off GPS, and killed the sync, your usage would be 100% android OS because you removed everything else using the battery."

http://forums.androidcentral.com/sp...ndroid-os-consuming-most-my-battery-life.html

To see what is keeping your phone from going into deep sleep, look for wake locks. I use better battery stats to monitor my phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
I guess this makes sense considering everything else is really low. My brightness was at 0% during work so I wouldn't get caught texting haha.

The Keep Awake has shown improvement, on for 1h 44m after being unplugged for 5 hours. But near 30% drain seems to be a lot when barely touched.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] vwauditech:
I'm not concerned with the percentage number as much as I am the keep awake time. I believe if that gets under control, my battery live will be better. I'm not unhappy with going a whole day without charging, but I would like to see it get the best possible battery life.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
My concern is that in the general section, there's a thread about a fast dormancy fix that fixes the wake locks. I did this same fix yesterday and there's pictures of results and little reviews that are the complete opposite of mine. People with their OS at 18% and no wakes or massive drain at all. But my phone has dropped about twenty percent just from texting and using the xda app. It makes no sense.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
It doesnt matter what i do. Fast dormancy fix did nothing. I am at 40-45% android os whether i leave the phone sitting on a table or use it non stop. 5 hours 20 min since charge to full and sitting at 40%
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
At least I'm not only one with this problem. Sorry that you have to endure this situation with me.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] LonelyJourney:
Put me down for the same issue, Android OS eating battery. Not touching the phone, no usage and it's at 55% constantly..
[AT&T LG Optimus G] iiDeadSeriousii:
That's weird cause I decided to go full stock for the first week or so and so far I've gone 15, 17, 12, 11, 14 hours without charging with moderate to heavy usage. The ironic thing is that the 12 and 11 hours came from when I turned on Eco Mode.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
You're lucky... I knew it was a weird situation. How is it that the fix works for some but not for others? I'm not a fan of this drain. Six hours and seventy percent gone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] :
My UI seems to hover around the 50-60% mark and I'm getting slightly better run times than I would in normal conditions with my previous phone (iPhone 4). These "normal conditions" include my standard work day which involves 8-9 hours in a poor reception area - something that would normally chew through a battery.

But the important thing is that >80% of the time, Better Battery Stats reports that my phone is in deep sleep.

Now if I used the phone to surf the web for 1-2 hours like I had done with the iPhone, the performance would be worse - understandably so (bigger, brighter screen, LTE radio vs. HSPA+, etc etc).

I just plugged in after 17 hours off the juice with 17% remaining. Which is odd, since an hour earlier, it was displaying 42%. Plugged it in and it immediately (as soon as it detected the external power source) jumped to 38% - the weirdest thing. No phone I know of can get an instant 20% charge.

I guess what I'm trying to say is to look at how many hours you go between meals for the phone, since it seems to have trouble accurately telling how much battery is left...
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Yeah that seems to be a reoccurring situation lately when it comes to kernels. The % will randomly jump around.

My phone hasn't been jumping though, not that I've seen. I've adjusted my phone a bit more to see if it helps any. I would like to be able to use my phone for a full day without wondering if it's going to die on me. Considering I slept half my day away and then worked all evening, my phone should not have died today. It just makes no sense.

Hopefully I can get lucky like the few out in the disable wake lock thread (even though I've done the same thing).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] ferganer:
Mine is showing 42% of battery use for Android OS. I did browse the web checked email, had a few calls, etc. How on earth can the OS eat up most of the battery?
