[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miss Finn:
IGNORE THIS THREAD PLEASE :)

I managed to sort it ..Phone all back to factory setting ...now I just have to redo the root and install Link2SD again and I've learned my lesson I won't be going wild with the delete /uninstall features :)

Hi all,

I have spent over 10 hours messing about with rooting and partitioning SD in order to get an ACE that can hold a few apps ...Unfortunately after all the Iink2SD moving around I got ahead of myself and started deleting/uninstalling stuff I don't use like 'yahoo finance' Memo Email client etc and as i still only had 18mb available and the low memory can't install problem, I decided to delete some more stuff from the system apps using Link2SD and Root explorer lite ,

HORROR

I deleted a samsung apk not even sure which one <kicks self> the screen froze on blank and I took out the battery and restarted the phone, This gave me the usual samsung booting screen but stopped after a minute on a samsung logo and froze this happened repeatedly so i tried a factory reset with the same result :(

I then tried a hard reset holding the power home and volume up,, this gave a little box in the top left corner with RAMDUMP mode ARM9 mode

I have since downloaded new firmware from Samfirmware.com ...2.3.5 gingerbread and have opened Odin

I have connected my phone to the computer and it reads in yellow 1 com16 but I'm totally stuck now, have searched and searched for hours now and cannot find anything that help me ...(the phone still has the little box in the top left after many resets)

I added the firmware to the boot on ODIN but when i hit start i get an ERROR message X an unnamed file was not found ...message ticker reads ..destroyed instant ...killed timeer

All the ODIN guides i have looked at don't seem to cover this problem :(

I'm a complete newb should never have tried this Grrr please help me fix this, my daughter is missing her phone :( and she ain't having my S2 to make up for this)
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] enrique71:
Light flow LED control was working on .303 but no longer after I updated. Can someone who uses this app also please confirm it's broken on the new firmware please?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] M3lt3mi:
Working fine on my. 195 although I'm using the stock o2 UK version and not generic encase that makes any difference
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] enrique71:
Does anyone have Lightflow working on generic .195 ?
[General Accessories] Hellscythe:
Hey guys,

I just wanna hear your suggestions on some good brands of extended batteries.

I heard there are a lot of dodgy ones out there, so I just want to make sure.

Has anybody heard of MPJ batteries?

This one caught my eye

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/8500mAh-...ies&hash=item27cd9e6303&_uhb=1#ht_1822wt_1163

Thanks.
[General Accessories] graczu:
About the batteries, what do you think about Gold batteries?.
[General Accessories] Hellscythe:
I'm not sure myself. I have no idea what brands are good or not.

I think Mugen Power makes alright batteries, but they cost a lot.
[General Accessories] crampedagain:
Mugen has been good to me over the years. I did see improvements in battery life with my HD2
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leoz01:
Hello everyone,

Basically everything is in the title.

One thing before exposing my issue, why the recovery SDE menu ask for initramfs.cpio.gz and in the custom roms there is only initramfs.cpio.lzo ? I have tried to GZip it but it doesn't work as well.

I have a A101IT-V5 tablet and I tried to install the "Clean_Slim&Fast V02" but after coping zImage & initramfs.cpio.GZ and reboot the tablet is stuck on the Archos logo. I have then restored the tablet with official firmware and tried with ICS@BLUE V04 firmware but the problem remains the same.

Here are my steps:

- I have installed the official archos sde menu because the one with Paul's root didn't work for me (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1360840) (stuck on 2nd reboot after phase 2)

- Then official archos firmware

- adb push archos.ext4.update mnt/storage/

- Remove Android kernel in SDE

- Flash kernel & Initramfs

- Copied zImage & initramfs.cpio.GZ (gzipped with gzip in a terminal because with the .lzo the tablet said "not found")

- "zImage & initramfs.cpio.GZ updated"

- Then stuck on the archos logo

Thanks for help :)
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telyx:
Those ROMs are for Gen9 tablets; yours is a Gen8.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leoz01:
Ok my bad ^^'

Which rom do you advise me to take then?

Thank you
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Telyx:
I don't know enough about Gen8 ROMs to recommend one... someone in the Gen8 forums should be able to help.

https://play.google.com/store/devices

Hi guys there are two wallpapers shown on the nexus 4 and nexus 7 that I've never seen before. They look the same pattern but in a different colour. Any idea where the wallpaper is from? It looks like a recolouring of one of the existing wallpapers...

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hoponpop:
I have no problem waiting for an otterbox (hopefully they'll produce one), but I need something in the meantime. Anyone know of any similar cases?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] teknhard:
I picked up the Ionic case from Amazon - some people think its ugly... I think it looks alright... doesnt have the screen protector like otterbox, but seems to have the dual silicon hard shell design. Looks pretty rugged.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hoponpop:
I ordered a few screen protectors separately. I'll check it out though. Thanks
[Nexus 4 Accessories] a-a:
does it have a speaker cutout? are the top and bottom of the phone well protected? the GN2 uonic case seems to have a thin layer there..

thanks!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] M0D3RNAFR0:
VOTE!!!

Otterbox is not the case you're looking for.

This is what you want......

http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/pages/uag-labs
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hoponpop:
Not it isn't, although I voted just to bring more accessories to the market
[Nexus 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
it looks just like the Otterbox Reflex series case, but I've got to say the Otterbox Reflex has better design and more color options/combinations. Too bad Otterbox only makes Reflex for iphones :/
[Nexus 4 Accessories] hoponpop:
I'm actually hoping they make a commuter case. I really like them. I'll have to check out the reflex cases though
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0bras:
I have a problem with my i9100 . My power button is totally broken.

I need a kernel that automatically turn on my terminal when I connect the charger.

Anybody know any kernel to do this function?

Thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cosmic Blue:
there is no kernal that can do that. buy a new power switch and connect it. it a very procedure.

Look for the tutorial to replace the screen, the method is similiar to replace the power switch.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0bras:
Thanks... but the problem is one pin of the power button in the motherboard. I can not replace the button...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postfatal:
haha what I swear people are getting stupider. there is no kernel that can do that and for hardware problems the only person that going to be able to fix them is you.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0bras:
there are some roms that has this "problem" , and you can not swith off the phone...

i am only looking for a rom with this issue to solve my problem... temporaly...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzr:
you can turn off your phone via terminal emulator by typing "reboot -p". remember to type "su" before that

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ojai00:
Is it the back button all the way out of the application or pressing the Home button? I can't seem to find a concrete answer!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaybeeunix:
Those do the same thing, which is either leave the app running or leave it in a nearly running state. To actually close an app, you press the multitasking button (the button to the right of home) and swipe the app off the screen.

BUT, you generally don't need to do that in Android -- The OS manages most well behaving apps fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Swiping an app out of recents does the same thing as pressing the back button actually. To answer the first question, the back button exits an app properly, the home button just suspends the app
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
The back button actually does a better job closing the app, and usually the app has a close button when after jamming the back button. This is how you close (not force close/stop) the app.

If you are using an app and tap the home button, do other stuff and go back, you will be exactly where you were before. This is how you multitask (with the home button).

The multitask menu is like the one on iOS 4 and above. It is a menu of RECENTLY USED APPLICATIONS and is there just for quick switching. Swiping will not close the app, it will delete it off your "history."
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaybeeunix:
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/app/Activity.html#ActivityLifecycle

Swiping gets you to the "activity shut down" phase (onStop and onDestroy are called, assuming your app is nice, it'll shut down).

Home-ing gets you to the onPause phase (from the things I tested, they usually then go to onStop (cached phase)).

Backing out gets you to the onStop (cached) phase.

(You can verify this by looking at Settings>Apps>Running. When I back or home out of an app, the app is shown with the same state (cached). When I swipe an app away, it's gone from both of those task lists.)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
Although that is native Android behavior, developers almost always make it so the app will nicely shut itself off when pushing the back button.

For example, when I open Root Explorer, it starts of with a black screen, and only after Root Access is granted my files show up. If I tap back and open it again, bam! Same process.

If I tap home after opening and open it again, bam! Takes me right to the / file directory, no inital "startup" of app
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donec:
Why can't developers just put an exit button in the app menu?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagdude:
They can, some do, some don't *shrugs*
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaybeeunix:
Generally speaking, there isn't a need for it -- The OS closes and restarts apps as needed to manage resources optimally. Additionally, as gagdude said, most apps save and restore their state beyond the OS cached state, so it isn't always obvious that an app was ever "gone".
[Nexus S General] sapa151:
Hey guys,

I love the audio settings of AwesomeBeats on the usual stock/CM10 based ROMS. However, I recently installed MIUI and flashed the Awesomebeats zip on top of it. I enabled the awesomebeats setting sthrough the settings menu and changed all settings however there is no effect on sonud for both google play music or the miui music player...can anyone help? I really want awesomebeats on miui.

Cheers!
[Nexus S General] sapa151:
anyone??
[Nexus S General] superng888:
Lol I have no idea but I think you can try using pimpmyrom to install beats audio stuff and you should be having it. I I have yet to try it myself though :D
[Nexus S General] fress:
i prefer other roms, but try to flash awesome beats via cwm. it. should be work. sorry my bad english
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CharlesGSLD:
Hello developers let me start off by saying thank you for the work you put in to what you do it's helped me enjoy android and feel proud of owning these devices. Now I have been a lurker for a while and have rooted and rom'd my previous phone (HTC glacier) and it was wondrous. I recently bought a nexus 7 and am amazed with the machine but I did have a slight screen issue when I got it

The screen had a black line going horizontally when held in portrait mode that only showed up on the home screens and in google maps (but only in portrait mode it did not appear in landscape mode) This caused me to do a bit of research and i found people who had the same problem that said it was all gravy once a new kernel was installed.

This of course led me to rooting installing the MadaCo Custom Rom Jr2 (have a 3g 32gig model) and running the motley kernel 3.1.20. Installed overclocked but nothing happened and was confused.

after installing some games and talktone i found that once the games got faster paced white started flashing through the colors and when connected through talk tone a white diagonal line appears on the screen. Not only that but i also noticed that if i put apps on the top row in my home screen, when i go to slide over to the next page the colors of the app shows up in the black line.

I was wondering if this is hardware issue or if their is something i can do on the software end. If it's hardware and i have to return it to google i'd appreciate any info i should know about warranty as well as being pointed in the direction i need to go in order return in to stock 4.2 and locked (I'm a noob whose only rooted twice when trying to push the motley kernel onto my nexus 7 i accidentally went into the the side load in cwm and had about 10 failed attempts before i could give it the proper push command to install the kernel)

any advice or help would be greatly appreciated sorry to take your time out with something so basic but I'm doing what I can to learn
[Motorola Droid 3] Jason Roach:
How do you stop apps from checking the market for updates and how can apps that have been installed on my phone just stop working and force you to update?
[Motorola Droid 3] reimer1:
I use Autorun Manager and uncheck most receivers for apps that connects for upgrades or looks for advertisements. Also uncheck those that tries to last on memory even when you kill them.

But if you are saying about Google Play updates, look for version that upgrades only when wifi is on, or set apps for manual updates.

Hope this helps.
[Sailfish General] brew182:
In case you haven't seen it...

http://m.gsmarena.com/jolla_sailfish_os_detailed_demoed_on_video-news-5104.php

Looks really good, anyone wanna work on a port for our lovely gs3? :D
[Sailfish General] brew182:
Hmmm...doesn't seem to have generated any interest yet...

In an interview with the CEO of Jolla, the interviewer asked if he could put this on his GS3, the CEO replied "Enabling Sailfish for a device such as Galaxy S3 is something that any community member could already do."

The SDK is released online here (I believe)

Unfortunately, I have no technical expertise in this area, is anyone else interested?
[Sailfish General] PsiPhiDan:
Could this be better than Jellybean?
[Sailfish General] Relentless D:
I'd love to play around with it. The Ambiance feature looks really really cool.

A port form a different OS would only be good for the community :) However, I have no skills in developing or porting so I can't help except perhaps a small donation to whomever gets it done.
[Sailfish General] brew182:
Same here, looks fun but no idea how to do it :(
[Sailfish General] squiggie:
I want! Looks awesome!
[Sailfish General] etherez:
This have to be done! I really want sailfish!
[Sailfish General] mandeep1:
It's awsome .

I's a good OS ! But not for geeks for sure .

It will only turn heads of people who want to use it for daily usage . Not for heavy customizing ,

BTW The gecko / Firefox OS Would be awesome ! as it is an HTML 5 Based OS / or just a web page :p :cyclops:
[Sailfish General] robogoflow:
Man no Google now voice search. Gapps. Or play store apps.

Its looks nice but right now in this phone world its apple Google and Microsoft. I may want to try out the new Ubuntu os since Google is technically Linux.
[Sailfish General] Cruiserdude:
Sure I would still prefer Android as my main platform, but I would LOVE to try this out on my GS3! I've always been an OS geek, and love the feel of exploring a new, beautiful, and innovative UI, as well as learning how the underlying platform works and differs from similar setups. It's why I've been playing around with Linux distros and customizing and tweaking them, Solaris, BSD, etc long before Android, despite the fact that I'm no developer. I would LOVE to be able to play around with different OS'es on my GS3, rather than just different Android roms, and Sailfish is one of the most interesting to me. I'll probably end up using Ubuntu more than anything if we get it, but Sailfish is something new and different and it looks really fun. :fingers-crossed:

Can someone link the story of a Jolla dev saying it can be ported easily by the community? If so, let's get this project started, and find out what needs to be done to make this happen, I'm tired of all these different OS'es coming only to the GNex!

With the re-merge of Android and Linux, and addition of the ARM drivers to the mainline, these types of alternative OS'es shouldn't be terribly difficult to port, and between Alien Dalvik and Google writing all their apps in HTML5 for ChromeOS, we should be able to get the basics of what we need from Android running on here, we just need to get the OS running!! :cool:
[Sailfish General] EndlessDissent:
You realize that Sailfish is also technically Linux, too, right? And you realize that Ubuntu OS won't have Google Now, Gapps, or the Play Store either, right? So why are you naysaying Sailfish but optimistic about Ubuntu? You, sir, make no sense.
[Sailfish General] Somnath021:
I would love to try this out on my LG optimus 2x SU660! :)
[Sailfish General] MinoochX:
Wow. should try
[Sailfish General] edong23:
I would love to see this OS running on my S3.
[Sailfish General] jasonv31:
very cool... watch the hands on video. Note that they say that android apps will be ported over for the sailfish os, SO i would imagine that even if gapps are blocked etc. that they would likely work for the most part, or could be made to work ... lol :highfive:

Im definitely interested in anything that has quality (obviously this does!) ... and represents a new form of competition :)
[Sailfish General] BlindLemon77:
I think this is pretty damn awesome. The hands on videos on YouTube look great, especially the ambiance thing.

Honestly, the phone looks good too but i would rather keep the beast hardware in my S3 and maybe get an S4, but having this OS on it would be awesome.

If someone had a way to dual boot Sailfish and Android, that would be epic.

Sure, it isnt completely and utterly customizable. But Sailfish seems very natural to use and at the same time you can still tap into all the Android apps!

Simple OS + Android apps.. what's not to like?
[Sailfish General] LeJolly:
This is perfect for geeks! Lots of stuff to play with, mod and hack + true multi tasking
[Sailfish General] LeJolly:
Dat comment. You must be somekind of an expert

I would like Jolla also on my Phone (With Whatsapp if possible) and I would die happy lol
[Sailfish General] jsel:
Since the os is not released to public nor there is any phone where you could dump the rom, there wont be any ports.

Is there a port for the galaxy s3 on Verizon though?

[Sailfish General] electronical:
What's the craze with the GS3? If you guys want to play around with the Sailfish OS on your Android device, there's no better starting point than developing for a Nexus device, more specifically the current latest Nexus 4 - no drivers problem and it's the most open software development platform for all developers. From there, the ROM can be compiled with the necessary drivers to make it compatible with other phones, like the GS3 (which is getting very old, btw).
[Sailfish General] sgirard1991:
Unless you're volunteering to buy me a nexus 4, I'm stuck with this GS3 until I can afford something better. As I'm sure is the same situation with most people...

---------- Post added at 12:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:06 AM ----------

Also, nexus 4 is GSM only.. if you read my prior post, you'll see that I'm on Verizon, which is CDMA.

So knowing that it wouldn't even work, why suggest it?
[Sailfish General] nh1402:
Because if there was any phone that would boot to Sailfish first, it would likely be a Nexus phone, or possibly Oppo phones, as they are more open than any other phone out today.
[Sailfish General] sgirard1991:
Understandable I guess but I'm not gonna go spend money on a whole new device just to test out an OS..lol
[Sailfish General] :
If there was any phone that would boot Sailfish first it would be the N9. Even Jolla claimed to be testing that so...
[Sailfish General] honeycomb93:
I'd also like to see it for GS2 T989, because that's what I have, and I'd like to (only if it can be undone, if decide I don't like it.) try it.
[Sailfish General] croozah:
No AlienDalvik on ports

Jolla has made it clear there is no AlienDalvik on community/open-source Sailfish - so no Android apps. AD is a licensed package which is only available on actual Jolla devices.
[Sailfish General] izzet3838:
Well this could get awesome i have some skills but for shore not enough for porting an whole os if theres any one with some good skills i will do everything i can to help is there anyone with some good skills who is interested

Btw it's possible to get the playstore on jolla sailfish os

All apps are working except the ones with obb data

But a fix for that should come soon

So anyone with good skills whi is interested

[Sailfish General] nh1402:
Jolla may have been testing their OS on the N9, but they do not have the rights to distribute the binary blobs of the N9, so no official Sailfish OS from them directly, although if someone can do it before someone does it for Nexus phone first then you'd be right.
[Sailfish General] :
In that case I feel a lawsuit coming up because recently on of the devs of SailfishOS posted instructions on how to install SailfishOS on the N9...
