[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gtcway:
I know, I'm stupid for not ensuring I had a good backup, but it's done, I'm dealing with it.

But, I'm trying to find out if there's anything I can do to recover a file. It's a database file for an app called Time Tracker. It's a .db file.

I thought i prepared for a phone wipe to install a new rom. I did a backup to Google Drive from the program, like I've done a dozen other times. Only this time, it didn't actually back up the .db file. So, not verifying it, I went ahead and formatted the phone, complete wipe, even internal sd.

I've been looking all day trying to find a way to recover the file, so far nothing works. All recovery methods I've found only work for specific types of files like pictures, videos, office files, etc. I downloaded a couple of them and tried but like I said, they only work for specific files and .db isn't one of them.

I'm still using the phone because I have no choice, but I haven't installed anything else.

Is there any hope of recovering or am I SOL?

Oh, yes, next time I will do multiple backups and I'm looking at automated online backup for the future.

Since v.17 it is no longer possible to set the launcher as in the v.15 with the Trebuchet Launcher v0.2.

Can I install the Trebuchet Launcher later, or is for example the Nova launcher compatible wit the Trebuchet?

Any idea? :confused:

I'm still running a rooted 1.1.2 nst non glow and was Wondering?

1. IS IT safe to Update?

2. IS THERE a working root for 1.2?

What are the new features in 1.2?
[Nook Touch General] fosselman:
I rooted my NST using tinynoot on fw 1.2. Not sure about the new features because I just got mine and had immediately upgraded. to it.
[Nook Touch General] TowaTou:
i'm waiting for your impressions, i don't root 1.2.0 yet
[Nook Touch General] ladykayaker:
I upgraded my US Nook Glow to firmware 1.2 and then rooted using tinynoot.

I believe tinynoot works for glow and non-glow.

I tried the rooting package that has been put together for the UK Nook1.2. It doesn't work for the US Nook 1.2 - the nook roots, but I had no access to any apps, not even adb.

Tinynoot includes only a few basic apps, such as ADB Wireless, Button Savior, Amazon Appstore and NookColorTools. No google apps.

I did not have access to android market -but with ADB wireless I was able to install apps.

I had the apk files already saved to my computer - if you don't have the apk files you will need to scrounge them off the internet.

I liked the updated 1.2 a lot! The reader is improved, the dictionary includes the ability to type in a word and search for it.

The dictionary also includes the ability to receive and search for multiple word phrases, such as 'ad hoc'

The US Nook 1.2 doesn't have the option to change language / locale, which I believe the UK Nook 1.2 does have.

To get to this function on US Nook - open NookColorTools - click on Development - Locale - ....

If you choose a language that you don't know, such as Chinese, French or German- then you won't be able to understand your nook anymore!

I could not get any Google apps working. I used k9mail for mail (including gmail)

but could not get any calendar to work, I tried every calendar app I could find.

In the meantime, I have gone back to 1.1.5, as I need to have my calendar with me.
[Nook Touch General] TowaTou:
Tnx so much for you answer! :good:
[Nook Touch General] 3dwarehouse:
Thanks all!
[Nook Touch General] Renate:
The US 1.2 update off the B&N website does have resources for:

Chinese (Taiwanese, simplified)

French (Canadian)

French (French)

German

Italian

So, I am currently running AT&T Stock ROM with Superuser. And immediately after I rooted(only thing that changed) I was unable to send pictures via SMS. Size nor recipient is not a factor, it simply just attempts to send until it times out and eventually gives the "failed" flag.

I haven't seen anyone else posting about it..but I'm looking for advice as to where to start looking for a fix.

Anything is appreciated.

Thanks

Can you not just get network settings resent to your phone from AT&T?

I'm on O2 in the UK and when I flash a new ROM I just send then a text and a few seconds later I receive network settings for picture messages.

I know you can add them manually, but why have a dog and bark yourself? :)

Well not sure what's wrong there do you have any errors during re-odexing.
[Galaxy S III General] SabrWolf:
none.. it reodex'es even to the same size as the original.. i just get this message no matter what i do..
[Galaxy S III General] Tenacious:
Is the BOOTCLASSPATH correct?

This BOOTCLASSPATH is from s3 init.rc file

/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/sec_edm.jar:/system/framework/seccamera.jar
[Galaxy S III General] SabrWolf:
this is my current bootclasspath :

echo $BOOTCLASSPATH
/system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bo
uncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system
/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework
/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/sec_edm.jar:/sy
stem/framework/seccamera.jar

this is the result from trying to odex android.policy.jar :

--- BEGIN '/system/framework/android.policy.jar' (bootstrap=0) ---
--- waiting for verify+opt, pid=28455
--- would reduce privs here
--- END '/system/framework/android.policy.jar' (success) ---

C:\apk_tools>CALL adb shell busybox dd if=/sdcard/original_framework/android.policy.odex of=

20+0 records in
20+0 records out
20 bytes (20B) copied, 0.005834 seconds, 3.3KB/s

so far i tried

dexopt-wrapper <source> <target> /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/sec_edm.jar:/system/framework/seccamera.jar

dexopt-wrapper <source> <target> $BOOTCLASSPATH

dexopt-wrapper <source> <target>

same error.. nothing seems to work BUT restoring the original android.policy.odex that came with the rom..

i also tried deodexing the android.policy.odex then reodexing it, same thing... something is missing here and i cant figure out what..
[Galaxy S III General] Tenacious:
Everything is looking as it should so really dont know where is the issue here.
[Galaxy S III General] Tenacious:
hey just got on a pc

in this step

C:\apk_tools>CALL adb shell busybox dd if=/sdcard/original_framework/android.policy.odex [COLOR="Red"]of=
/system/framework/android.policy.odex[/COLOR] bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc
20+0 records in
20+0 records out
20 bytes (20B) copied, 0.005834 seconds, 3.3KB/s

is the patched odext file that was created with first command in this command of=

/system/framework/android.policy.odex

if yes did you tray doing this on a phone without renaming anything or transferring from a phone.
[Galaxy S III General] SabrWolf:
yes, also nothing was transferred / renamed..

im going nuts here ! :(
[Galaxy S III General] Tenacious:
Maybe trying this command

dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/XXX.jar customjar.odex /system/framework/patched_XXX.odex $BOOTCLASSPATH

insted of this command

dexopt-wrapper /system/framework/android.policy.jar /system/framework/patched_android.policy.odex /system/framework/core.jar:/system/framework/core-junit.jar:/system/framework/bouncycastle.jar:/system/framework/ext.jar:/system/framework/framework.jar:/system/framework/framework2.jar:/system/framework/android.policy.jar:/system/framework/services.jar:/system/framework/apache-xml.jar:/system/framework/sec_edm.jar:/system/framework/seccamera.jar

If that don't work then i don't know what else to tray.
[Galaxy S III General] Tenacious:
for the last command cud you tray running this

C:\apk_tools>CALL adb shell busybox dd if=/sdcard/original_framework/android.policy.odex of=

/system/framework/patched_android.policy.odex bs=1 count=20 skip=52 seek=52 conv=notrunc

and now file named patched_android.policy.odex is your patched file just remove patched_ from file name and it shod work.

*Edit*

Now that I have time I'll fill the OP in a little more.

Thanks to the efforts of our usual crack team we've now got stock tars for the US Cellular GS2!

It's closest relative is the Sprint model, which is why I posted here.

BIG NOTE:

THIS IS

NOT

FOR THE EPIC 4G TOUCH (SPRINT/BOOST/VIRGIN).

There are h/w differences so please do not try to flash this on your SPH-D710.

Both builds - FI24 and FD10 - are GB builds.

You should be able to Agat's recovery enough to apply my root.

Ideally I'm looking for a R760 owner with ADB to PM me.

If that person can wipe their phone and do a few steps we can probably make one click root packages for at least FI24!

With that said, here's the link to the stock builds.

More as it is available!

My phone is the alltel version. I rooted with agats kernal.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat MeGron:
Hi,

Yes I'm noob, yes tried searching and saw a similar thread though the phone model is different.

I tried to root Galaxy S2 i9100 in Gingerbread (2.3.6 I believe) from Bell Canada for my cousin using the method from (oh I hope this forum is okay with outside links) galaxys2root.com

Launched ODIN 1.85 and clicked PDA with file "CF-Root-SGS2_XX_XEO_LPQ-v5.3-CWM5.tar"

Saw the COM box highlighted in yellow before doing anything.

Clicked start and everything was ok saying everything was successful.

So the phone rebooted showing me a the logo screen and a yellow triangle only to give me a blank screen afterwards.

I can still go into Download mode try rooting again, I already have 4 attempts logged into the phone.

Is the phone just soft-bricked or is it un-salvageable? It already has a big crack running though the home button so I'd guess so :):P

All helpful posts are appreciated!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ben81:
You've used the wrong kernel. You've used an ICS kernel on GB.

Find the correct kernel here.

You should have made sure you had the right kernel to start with. Just knowing it's 2.3.6 isn't enough (and tbh you don't seem too sure about that). You can't just flash any kernel to any firmware. You might need to flash a new firmware just to be sure which one you have now.

If you flash an ICS firmware you can clear the triangle and the custom binary counter with triangle away.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat MeGron:
Yeah I was actually looking around for the triangle issue and DL'ed Traingle Away from another thread in the forum.

How am I to find my kernel version if the phone won't get past the logo screen?

Thanks again for the response.

Ok looking at Chainfire's 8th post I see kernels for GB. Would it matter to which one I choose?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pat MeGron:
Well that was easy, I used CF-Root-SGS2_XW_INU_KL1-v5.0-CWM5.zip in Odin and everything is back in order.

Hey I was wondering if anyone out there was bored/interested enough in making a thread with comparisons of all the ROMs in them :P I just ordered mine today and I'm noticing that few of the ROMs actually have a "features included" section, so I would love for someone to make one for those of us looking to compare them while waiting for our phone or without having to try them all :) I know people will say "just try them all" but even just a general impressions thread would be very helpful to a lot of people :P

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepsunzhine:
why is that???
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PlanBSTi:
because you can basically read what each rom is about, you can flash and try, Only you can decide if a rom is good or not.

I've tried a lot of high rated roms and i've hated it. Same goes with kernels. Don't make about thread asking which is the best. Best for what? Performance or battery life? How much will you use the phone etc.

It's really a flash and try. There is no good or bad.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
Bcuz Devs and xda in general hate the *compare or best rom thread*...... everyone is gonna tell you to go try roms your self and see what's good for you.....

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noneabove:
I understand the whole flash and try thing, and if I could I probably would at least try a few :P But yeah this isn't a "which rom is best" but rather a "what makes this ROM unique"

It's just a simple request if anyone has the time/interest in doing so, I don't want to go onto the ROM pages asking people there what it's all about
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eneka:
I'd like one too! Back when I had my one s I'd always went straight for cyanogen just for pure android..now that it already comes with the phone I'm just wondering if I'm missing anything if I'm not rooting and installing a new rom..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stryder5:
Most ROM threads have a features section or a changelog section detailing what is different or modified. Also, there is a thread that compiles a link to all the available ROMs by category (whether they are CM based or AOSP based, etc).

I recommend going to that thread and then navigating to your ROM of interest to read its description. I highly doubt anyone is willingly to compiles a comparison thread for you because ROMs are constantly changing. If you look at some of the threads, they have no updates and releases every day. By the time someone posts the comparison thread, it will probably be already outdated.

In short, your best option is to read to narrow your choices, then actually try out the options you have on hand.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
turns out that its a p990. which is an optimus 2x correct?

the only way i found out was after a couple failed attempts at reviving it the way i have a lot of g2x's in the past. it was described as a bad baseband and battery symbol with a ? in it. i've done my fair share of reviving bricked g2x's, but is revivng the o2x the same process?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Волк:
Should be the same, except you would need a 990 kdz.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] blackbeasst:
well the only way i've done the g2x is by using the nvflash which takes care of everything. is there a certain nvflash for the o2x?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] noahk423:
yes, there is, just a quick google search for "p990 nvflash" leads you to the right direction. itd be smart to use the correct one for the correct phone as the partitions are different and if you use an incorrect program it could be dangerous.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tahahawa:
Since this is a p990, try smartflash. Apparently it's better than nvflash a lot of the time.

Dear Friends,

I would like to learn how to make a wallpaper part, in the most exact way, to be clickable and to perform an action.

I know about the invisible shortcuts, but in my case I just couldn't match the shortcut the way I want.

Does somebody knows if there is an app or some other way that we can achieve the most precise result for mapping clickable areas on wallpaper?

Thank you in advance.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] player911:
I think the only way I know would be exactly like you've described. Figuring out the grid that works for you, then making a wallpaper that matches that grid by actually making a grid wallpaper. Once you know the grid you can design parts of the wallpaper to match up with that grid overlay and make it work.

Or you can simply use another launcher that doesn't use grids thus allowing you to place invisible shortcuts anywhere.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Oscar-Mark:
Maybe a Live Wallpaper could work, but I would suggest UCCW or desktop vidualizer widgets!
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] SwiftLegend:
ssLauncher doesn't you a grid layout and lets you place icons anywhere. Only problem is that it's a little clunky to use at first.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Svardskampe:
1. Install ssLauncher. Thus launcher enables you to put widgets anywhere you like and not particularly a grid system. If the area is like a corner or something, you could use any other launcher with a grid system.

2. Make an empty png file at the size of your desired clickable area.

3. Install desktop visualizer, add a widget and select probably the 1x1 option. Click that for options and load the empty png as image. Set whatever action you want it to do. You can manually resize your selfmade widget now with ssLauncher.

4.??

5. Profit
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] slimdizzy:
Desktop visualizer and make blank widgets.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
You can make a blank widget from any icon that has "some" blank space. Just crop to the blank area when sizing it (assuming your launcher has a resize icon option). ssLauncher is a great choice for many reasons other than no grid.
