Mod has done his job, and in a nice manner. That's a good thing :)

Other than that, are you children happy now? Obviously the above post says so.

I still say we need a better system. More sub forums so everything has its place, and instead of many different types of topics all dumped in the same place.

Anybody know how to get the old voice back?

I just rooted my P3113 this afternoon and flashed CM10 (2012-12-01 build) onto it. I've really liked it so far, but there's one thing that's been bugging me - the lock screen orientation (and default orientation) seem to be landscape but I tend to use my tab more in portrait than anything else (Twitter, Facebook, browsing, etc).

I haven't been able to find anything in the settings to change it, so I thought I'd ask here to see if it's even possible to change it.

Anyone have issues with swype beta installer after i log in on the choose version screen i get continuous loading and never recognizes a version.. anyone else? or have fix for the issue??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TransX2:
I have the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] LibertyMonger:
Swype Beta unusable for me in 4.2.1 it is always force closing... I am now using Keymonk keyboard and it is a great contender vs. swype! Almost might be better! Two handed swiping so much quicker and I am sure it will only get better! Get the free version here
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kwbrewster:
no problems with Skype here, rooted & running Xylon 4.2.1 009. Suggestions would be uninstal, redownload installer & Skype again. If rooted i would also suggest wiping cache & dalvik, even fixing permissions. You could also paste the Skype installer & apk direclty into your system/apps folder and see if that changes anything (have to be rooted).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] n-0-s:
wow thanks for this app, i been using the latest stock 4.2.1 keyboard for swyping but this new one seems alot smoother and simpler adding new words with one touch. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Txwolf1980:
What I wind up doing is restoring the app with tibu, then clearing data. Then i register, and enter the activation code, and allow it to restore my user defined words. It's become a part of my setup process

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAtheistReverend:
I pulled the apk from my phone and manually installed/sideloaded it and it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrianr514:
Yeah ended up side loading it works perfect
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zmydust:
I tried to do this with Astro file viewer, but all it finds is the .apk for the installer which results in the same problem. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheAtheistReverend:
The app is named com.nuance.swype.input-1.apk

For me, it was in the data/app folder.

So I am on a new ROM trying it out (Xplod JB 4.1.2 by XSmagical) and I am trying to make a zip for a new battery icon. I made it in the UOT kitchen but the very second I press install from twrp recovery, it says "failed" immediately.

I uploaded the framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk from the ROM per the instructions and downloaded the ZIP from the "pickup" screen. The file name is UOT-12-01-20-34-1.

For those who have themed or used this tool, what did I do wrong? The only thing I can think is I unchecked the "theme chooser preview" at the bottom of the File upload page. Could that be it?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Corndude:
System settings -> Location services -> Disable google's location service & Location&Google search

Are there any downsides to disabling those? I mean for other apps than googles? Because "Also allow permitted apps to use data from sources such as Wi-Fi andmobile networks to determine your approximate location" doesn't sound all that great to disable. It sounds like this would disable all the apps that want to access those services, not only the google ones, but that wouldn't be true would it?

Basically speaking, I just want to disable all of googles crap (Maps has the most horrible wakelocks ever and from what I can tell none of the other google services I use need my location) without limiting any other apps I might have installed. I'd be happy for an explanation.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blu2lz:
It is a service to approximate your location based on wireless networks scanned by Google. If you turn it off (I have) apps cannot get this information from Google. The only downside with that is, that it may take a bit longer to get your position via GPS. If you turned off GPS, you cannot get located by your phone at all.

So if you just wanted to get information from an app, which POI's are next to you, you would not need to turn on GPS.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zopzop25:
Anyone ever test gaming performance (both native android games and games on emulators like NDS4Droid) to see how much of a difference overclocking made? Also how does the Nexus 7 compare to tablets with OMAP4470 (like the Kindle Fire HD 8.9,Nook HD+, Kobo Arc)? I've read that the OMAP4470 is faster than the non-OC Tegra 3.

I was just wondering because I'm going to be getting a tablet soon and it would be cool if it could handle gaming well.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jon7701:
Overclocking should give you a performance boost, however it may not give you a major speed boost.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zopzop25:
@ jon7701

Yeah, I was just wondering how big a performance boost it would be. The thing is, if no amount of overclocking on the Tegra 3 or the regular OMAP4470 will ever be able to run newer emulators like NDS4Droid at anywhere near playable speeds, I'll just settle for the JXD S7300 or Archos Gamepad.

Seeing as how most anything nowadays can emulate the PSX/N64/SNES/NES/GBA/etc... The JXD and Archos systems have microSD slot, physical buttons (complete with dual analog nubs), dual cameras (this is more fluff than anything), and can be rooted easily (the makers of those tablets all but encourage it).

Would the Mali400MP4 and Mali400MP2 be able to handle most of the native android games (like the stuff from Gameloft)?

Anyone that has an overclocked Nexus willing to test NDS4Droid gameplay speed?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziggo0:
Which games would you like tested? I was thinking about trying it myself. I notice a significant difference from stock vs overclocked in n64 emulators.

Hi,

I am running CM9.1 on my Nexus S and off late I have noticed my device turning off suddenly. Whenever this happens battery is low but not low enough. i have seen this happening even when battery was 17-18%.

Has anyone else faced this ? Is this hardware problem or CM9.1 on Nexus S issue ?

Try something newer... Cm10 or anything... If more shut offs... Its probably hardware related

Hi everyone

I installed an excellent pre-release of the Semaphore 2.6.0.1s 65FPS which had the unfortunate side effect of scrambling the display in recovery (I was warned). I'd like to get my recovery back now. I had planned to fix it by flashing a .tar with Odin, but don't actually have access to a PC at the moment. I was wondering if one of you could do me an enormous favour and go through the keystrokes to restore the latest nandroid backup. I'd be grateful.

Hello,

I went from Full Throttle to cm10+lightning zap tonight to see how battery life goes, but I'm having trouble telling if LZ is in fact installed. It went normally through the loading process and rebooted when finished, but when I look under kernel in system settings, it shows the same as it did before (cyanogenmod) with no reference to LZ that I can find. is there a way to know for sure that it is installed? thanks.
[LG Nitro HD] hhill13:
Maybe try a clean install, it shows up correctly under kernel version for me but as of now it hasn't been all that great for me in terms of battery life. Some people are reporting significant improvements however. I'm awaiting the updates with more optimizations before I put in my final verdict.
[LG Nitro HD] reebokhcfr:
Hello,

Thanks for the info. What do you mean by clean install? The only way I know to switch roms is format/wipe. Once I did that with cm10 I went back and selected lightning.

It sounds like you did what I was going to suggest (format data/cache and system in CWM then install CM10, gapps, then lightning zap).

I have Droid X .621 rooted using stock Blur Launcher. I recently fixed the permissions on my phone and it got rid of my transparent dock background. I beleive I somehow changed this in the settings of some app, I just can't remember which app. I am talking about the dock app at the bottom of the homescreen, it is normally a solid white to transparent background about halfway up the dock. I would like to go back to my all transparent dock background using the Stock Blur Launcher. I would really appreciate any help, Thanks!

Does anyone have the Sound Enhancements working with Walkman? What did you do to make it work?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterfire793:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Ace Plus and I want to change the boring boot animation to a custom one however I'm not rooted and I found out about the adb command method but it's not working with me i do: adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local in command promp and everything goes well even when I test it: adb shell bootanimation it works but when it comes to actually rebooting it just brings up the stock boot animation...

So can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterfire793:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Do you even know what adb push bootanimation.zip /data/local is? You are putting the bootanimation.zip file into the /data directory which cannot be written to without root.

Also, this is xda. If anything, you are on CNN.com and the "other websites" are tabloid sites. Trust the advice you find here

I think you should try pushing to system/media OP.

root access is generally irrelevant, the file just needs to be there and have the right name.

If you install the root right, e.g. From xda-developers (usually there are guides how to install) you nearly can't brick it. It's very hard to make a full brick

So what i've red before is, that you must have installed root because u need access to the bootanimation files
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SantinoInc:
Here are the circumstances. Was on Stock Deodexed and out of boredom wanted to try SlimNote2. Did a nandroid before flashing SlimNote2.

Flashed SlimNote2 only wiping Dalvik and Cache. Made sure the MD5 matched before doing so. The install was shaky...I had to reboot twice before the phone would finally boot to the main homescreen. At this point I had seen enough and decided to get back into TWRP to restore the nandroid I had just made. IDK WTF happened but a few seconds after the restore began it aborted. Not sure whether my hand swiped something it shouldn't of or what but it just abruptly aborted. Now I when I try to do a normal power up of the phone I'm just stuck at the main boot screen (black background with white letters: Samsung Galaxy Note 2)

I tried to boot up with volume up and volume down to get into either recovery or Download Mode but it's a no go on either.

I'm thinking my only choice is to bring this thing into Sprint and play dumb. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
Assuming that you know about download mode, I'm guessing you know about Odin - but you're not able to get into download mode.

Have you tried pulling the battery for 2 minutes then reinstalling it and trying to get into download mode?

or

Have you tried pulling the battery, and hooking up the usb cable (from your computer) to your phone and again trying to get into download mode without the battery installed?

These were both tricks of "un-bricking" Sammy's Epic 4g (my current phone - hopefully soon to be replaced w/the note 2).

Hope either option gets you back on track!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SantinoInc:
thanks but both methods not working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] altimuh:
...same deal with trying to get into recovery?

If so, leave the battery off for longer, maybe 10mins.

The fact that you can get the splash screen up is a great sign, most true bricks are...true bricks (nothing happens).

Are you holding down volume up or down + home key + power? I believe it is a 3 button press for stock roms to get into recovery or download mode...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SantinoInc:
didn't realize it involved the Home key as well...unfortunately I may have jumped the gun with this.

Impulsively I took the phone to Sprint convinced that they would be unable to do anything with the phone. I was wrong. They apparently got the phone into Download mode and realized that there is a custom OS on there. They asked if I tampered with the phone and I said NO. They went on to say that if the phone is rooted my warranty will be voided. I think I may have made a big mistake by leaving my phone there <punches self in nutsack!>

Sooooooooo aggravated right now I can't even tell you guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] threestripebrand:
Dang, you went from starting the thread all the way to dropping your phone off with sprint in a hour or two? You should still be fine. Theyll probably give you crap about it. Is your insurance through them?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] t3project:
sooooooooo, if they void your warranty, get your phone back and it is a 2 minute fix. you'll just be out a warranty and not a phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SantinoInc:
Yeah, I'm an impulsive jackass! So after one of you guys pointed out that I wasn't trying to access recovery/download mode properly I sprinted back to Sprint (bad pun intended.) Of course the store was closed already but the employees were still in there. Lucky for me one of them came over to the door and entertained me. I told the guy I just wanted my phone back and he said he couldn't service it because it had a custom ROM. Then he showed me my custom rom as he handed the phone back (it was in TWRP...dumb bastid don't know the difference between recovery and a rom :cyclops:) I was happy to the phone was in recovery.

Sure enough I went back home, threw in my SD card and just restored my last nandroid w/o a problem!

Wow, I feel like a real fool. I was so used to entering recovery/download mode with 2 buttons I totally forgot that this phone called for a 3 button method to enter recovery. I thank all you guys for the feedback!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Next1776:
Ya, just get your phone back, and it doesn't void their responsibility of trying to assist you in getting the phone operable again. Maybe void your warranty with Samsung. If it were me, I would rather try to revive the phone myself than let them try to load the stock rom on it. Just take what the6 say with a grain of salt, some of these techs want to try to make you think you've committed a felony by opening the OPEN android os...

Believe me, I know, I own a Service Center. I always enjoy the modders that come in and talk about what is working , not working etc. Or when they try to say they didn't do anything to their device, knowing we know, then they find out we are " pro modding" and its a good experience for everyone. We find it a challenge to unbrick bad flashes and mistakes. .. :D

Good luck with it, pm me if you need help with an exchange, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] threestripebrand:
Good for you! Im glad it all worked out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] SantinoInc:

Hey no problem, I've been there myself, asking wtf is wrong, great, I bricked it ! Then ding ding... oh ya, it was THAT.
