Hello! To do a clean install you have to: Wipe data/Factory reset; Wipe cache; Wipe Dalvik cache; Mounts and storage->format /data; format /system; format /preload. First, make sure you are on a SAFE kernel! You can search for safe kernels here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1789397

When wiping, you will lose unsaved data like: Contacts, SMS/MMS, Call log, Applications, saves for games (only if they aren't backed up ofcourse). Pictures, music etc on Internal storage or Ext.SD card won't be touced. For backing up you can use Titanium or other software.

Have fun flashing roms! :)

its always better to do a nandroid backup.. before formatting as this will also save your call logs. contacts ans SMSs and many many more. TB can restore then back using the nandroid backup./
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohammed Atef:
Very good question

Wiping factory data will erase all apps and contacts / SMS / call log

if your contacts are synced with google, you will restore them as soon as you log into your google account when u flash a new ROM

to make sure you're synced with google.. check contacts saved on PHONE by checking (contacts to display) option and if there were any there, make sure u choose (Merge with google) -- that way all your contacts will be synced with google

then do SYNC ALL from accounts menu in settings to make sure everything is synced

you can also backup SMS and call log into Titanium by using (backup XML) option when u press the menu key on titanium

but most importantly, before you flash a new ROM.. make sure you open Titanium batch backup and backup (1) new and modified app (2) modified data

so that your backups are fresh and updated

Best of luck

Hello guys,

I'm newbie here, and I don't know if this is the right place to post this, so I'm sorry.

I have Note 2 and I want to make my apps to be moved to the external storage.

Titanium backup is showing "External Storage" as /storage/sdcard0 which is actually internal storage.

How can i change it to /storage/extSdCard?

I managed to change the backup directory but I couldn't mange to make the external storage directory.

Thanks in advance.

I'm sorry but has this issue been sorted out with Titanium Backup? I'd rather use it as opposed to DirectoryBind, seeing as I paid for the pro version.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronium:
2 entirely different apps. I personally use Gl to SD from the play store.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bounti:
I never like the fact that GL to SD required the user to open the apps through the program itself. Plus, a few apps I moved didn't work.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kronium:
Make sure both boxes are checked under Add Mounted Folder in settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxprodigyxx11:
So I've been using titanium backup now for about 3 years. Sometime between then and now Google has included a service that backs up your apps and app data for you, and restores them on your new or freshly wiped phone.

My question is does it really backup all your app data? I'm assuming it just re-downloads the apps from the play store and restores that apps data? And how often does android backup your apps data?

Some clarification on how this works would be great. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fushla:
Yeah want to know this too!

And how I'm able to delete these apps, because every time I accidentally leave the box ticked, it downloads apps I don't use... Like freakbook, and its pretty annoying, that's why I don't use it anymore...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
The app have to support application backup for it to work.

I, too, would love to learn more about managing what's stored in Google from our phones. I've been on Android for years now, and can't imagine how much crap is up there that would be worthless today. Having an option to review your backed up apps and data with the ability of pruning would be wonderful.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaitanya91845:
My Nexus One was suffering from boot loop problem and has a broken power button. It was stuck at the X screen. I followed the steps in the fastboot method from the Nexus One wiki. Everything went fine. When the phone rebooted, it showed the static X screen, and before showing the Nexus loading animation, the screen went off. After a few seconds, the trackball started blinking, but the screen wont turn on. The capacitive keys' lights turn on when I press the volume keys and I get a haptic feedback too when I press the capacitive keys.

But the display just won't turn on. I tried rebooting multiple times and even tried the fasboot method again. But in vain.

What could be the problem? Please help me.

Thanks,

[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
Hi, i just bought a one x+ and am very impressed with it. However, there are a few strange things that i have noticed after a week of usage. For some reason the touchscreen stops working in certain games such as avengers initiative when it say tap to deploy and battleheart. Also when beats is engaged, there becomes a slight background hiss and lastly, when i activate mobile network i doesn`t even attempt to connect but simply displays disconnected. can anyone solve my dilemna, thanks
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
Your touchscreen issue may be due to certain games having some incompatibilities with JB. I know when ICS came out i had simlar issues with my SXL.

I do not have any issue with beats. But the hissing sound could be that you have not connected your headphones properly. Make sure the jack is pushed in all the way.

For mobile data to work, you need to make sure that the APN for your wireless provider is properly configured.
[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
Bummer, thanks for your reply, the games all work fine but for some reason i can`t use the touchscreen on some, even shadowgun thd. Also how do i configure the apn? thanks
[HTC One X+] AndroHero:
That sounds more of an issue. Shodowgun works fine for me. I would get your screen looked at.
[HTC One X+] ryanjsoo:
No, the strange thing is that the screen works fine with things like renaissance blood and horn and even during the video sequences of avenger initiative but once i get to the menu where it states tap to deploy, the characters on screen keep moving around but tapping does nothing. Thus it must be a software issue, i am going to try another rom and see if it helps, also 3g is fixed, thanks for your assistance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] z143456:
I just got the gs3 on black friday and rooted it without any problems but on my first attempt to flash a new rom, i bricked it by flashing an international rom. I paniced and figured sprint probably wouldn't be able to detect that i was ever rooted and returned the next day. Sprint as i suspected was not able to tell what was wrong with it other than it seemed completely dead when the tech hooked it up and tried to fix it. So they gave me another phone and said they were going to just flag it as defective. Now my question is what is gonna happen with that phone? I would assume there is a way for samsung to find out what happened to the phone but i really don't know and thought it couldn't hurt to ask around in the forums. Please if anyone can help me, thank you in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Logix:
more than likely nothing is going to happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] z143456:
Well then i suppose i just got damn lucky lol.... just for future reference, is the only way to recover from flashing an international rom with a jig right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Neil Fruit:
No. You cannot recover from this with a jig. The only recovery is jtag; which I think is available for $60.00 for the S3. The jig is completely worthless in this situation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] djent:
Sprint doesn't have a policy against rooting/roms. You are fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The Root:
I'd imagine they'll run a reformat to all the correct partitions and send it out as a refurb.

I've gone through about 7 cases now, trying to find the most quality protection I can get without getting something too thick or too expensive.

...finally decided to stop being a cheapass and start considering the Aegis Trident. Anyone with this have any regrets? Does this follow the trend of loosening the slide mechanism and scratching up the gamepad like so many other cases do?

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cj360:
Best decision imo for a case. It helps in the xperia play's case more cause it doesn't affect the opening of the gamepad or use of it. And there's soft plastic covering for the buttons so they stick out and are easier to use without looking fro them.

Great build quality, great feel... and it just looks nice! This combined with my fresh new 64GB card has made my Xperia Play something I'll probably never replace.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] |SavageD|:
After finding out that my xplay basically came with a screen protector. I somehow felt like it was a waste to use the trident cover. So I rarely use it on my play...only on days where I feel like the touching the trident cover (and i really do love the feel of my trident cover) I would put it on.

[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] mike240se:
Hi guys, I am thinking of getting the A700 from amazon for $350 since I have an amazon gift card. TBH I would get a Nexus 10 but I cant get it through amazon so thats not gonna happen. Everything I have read about the tablet sounds great EXCEPT the major heat issue. About 80% of the reviews i have read mention heat issues and the numbers i have seen on xda (along with the fact it actually gets hot enough to thermal protect shutdown) concerns me.

I basically am wondering what I can expect post jelly bean? Also, is there any possiblity the newer ones being sold now have the heat issue addressed by acer in production?

Lastly, I am wondering if anyone has tried underclocking the CPU a little to solve the problem while leaving the GPU stock clock?

Thanks much!
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Lemurion287:
I just ordered it from Amazon myself (price & having cards was a factor) and from all I've read, the heat issue is greatly diminished with Jelly Bean. I guess I'll find out when it gets here next week.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] Moscow Desire:
You will be fine. Nobody has been complaining about hot processors for a long time now. I think originally, it was because people aren't used to a high performance tablet. Hot processors are the norm these days with the high resolution display devices. Just go ask Apple about the iPad2 (or 3, or whatever they call it these days) :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[Microsoft Surface] lanwarrior:
I have a 64GB microSDXC and I want to use this between my Surface, Nexus 7 tablet, Windows 7 and OSX. What is the recommended partition I need to format the SD card?

I have MacDrive for Windows 7 (can read Mac partition in Windows) and NTFS Drive for OSX (can read NTFS in Mac). Obviously Android cannot read NTFS, so I am down to FAT32 (cannot read file larger than 32GB) or exFAT.

Is exFAT compatible with Android and OSX?
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
SDXC uses exFAT, so if your devices are SDXC-compatible, they should be able to read (and hopefully write) exFAT. However, unless you need to move files bigger than 4GB (which happens on occasion, but not *very* often) I'd go with FAT32; *everything* supports that.

Another option is UDF (which is a format intended for re-writable CDs and DVDs, mostly, but can be used on anything). Linux (and therefore hopefully Android) has supported that for years. I don't know if it has a 4GB or similar file size limit, though. I don't really know what filesystems Android supports, though... it might actually be able to handle NTFS, especially if you root it and install (an ARM compile of) the Linux NTFS drivers (either as a kernel filesystem, or using FUSE and ntfs-3g, which is how I'd recommend doing it if FUSE is available for Android).
[Microsoft Surface] omaropa:
Since when does the nexus 7 have a sdcard slot?
[Microsoft Surface] lanwarrior:

[Microsoft Surface] netham45:
You should be able to get an NTFS driver for the N7 (I had one on my last Android tablet), though Fat32 will give the best compatibility. Fat32 can be on disks larger than 32GB, Windows just won't let you format them to that. Format them on the Mac or on the Android tablet.
