I have Directory Bind working on Android 4.1.2, but I can't get it to work with 4.2.

I'm not the lowest of the low, but I am the slowest of the slow.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racer321:
I'm facing the same issue, I believe it has to do with the multi-user abilities.

Is there any solution such as downgrading to 4.1.2? or a different app?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
I went back to 4.1.2 (actually Paranoid Android 2.54, based on 4.1.2)

I was able to bind directories in 4.2 using the true source path (i.e. /mnt/shell/emulated/0/usbStorage/sdb1/xxx) to a fused target path (/sdcard/xxx), but the apps didn't work with the emulated target path. Another quirk was it only bound on the second mount (sdb1, not sda1. I think it would have worked if Directory Bind allowed us to specify the true target path (/mnt/shell/emulated/0/xxx), but it doesn't.

There's a hacker's app called Lucky Patcher that reportedly supports directory binding.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] racer321:
Yes I tried it with Lucky Pactcher as well using the true path but nothing has been able to make it work :/

Is there a way of downgrading without losing all the data? Or can any dev help fix this problem?

Do I just flash the ROM and then wipe?

Have you found any bugs with the ROM? Just want to make sure before I flash
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exglynco:
Because of the emulated directory layering, I did a factory reset and data wipe, then formatted my SDcard, before wiping cache & Dalvik cache. Flashed the OEM 4.1.2, then PA2.54 & gapps. 2.54 is stable. Its only quirk is that navigation bar button settings aren't saved like they were in PA 2.50. You have to change them in >settings > Paranoid Settings > Apps > Settings (and Settings storage) > Extras

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] imranh101:
I got it on mine.

I was trying to do S-OFF but couldn't get the damn screw on the back off that covers the pin you need for the wire trick.

So I decided I'd try getting it through the unlock code. Was looking for the cheapest way when I came across this site.

I AM NOT TRYING TO ADVERTISE FOR THIS SITE. NOT AFFILIATED IN ANY WAY. SIMPLY TRYING TO HELP.

https://www.freeunlocks.com/

NOTICE. YOU NEED A CREDIT CARD. I'M SORRY. THERE IS NO OTHER WAY. IT IS FREE HOWEVER.

So I went in and chose the HTC Vivid and chose to get it free with "Trialpay". I read some of the "offers" and googled about them, and the Emusic one is the easiest to cancel. So I signed up for it using my debit card, FREE TRIAL, then sure enough it went through and asked me for my IMEI. I input it, it said thanks please wait a few. About 10-15 minutes later I get an email "Your unlock code is ready, it is #########".

Pop in my Tmobile sim on STOCK HTC ICS and asks for unlock key - put it in and BLAMMO. IT. WORKED.

So then I go to emusic.com and go to account page and cancel my account. completely. Also I emailed their customer support to say "I want to make sure my account is COMPLETELY canceled and I will NOT be charged" and they confirmed it is as such.

Now, I can see the 4G icon on the top right, but I'm not actually getting any data. Calling/texting worked though. I'm thinking maybe it needed some APN settings, I have no idea. Not worried about it.

I used to use Virtuous Inquisition so I flashed back to it.

Pop in TMobile SIM and had to reenter unlock code, which worked again.

Went to settings and chose the TMobile carrier under the settings... Blammo. 3g. Working. What's that? There's an H up there! NO WAY!

Opened up speedtest and ran it. Guess what... 10mbps. The top right shows 3g but I get H about 50% of the time (just the fault of spotty coverage indoors, not because the phone isn't capable.)

Image will be attached.

You don't have to believe me, you don't have to give out your credit card info, nothing, I just wanted to try and help anyone I can.

Good luck and have fun :)
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
Thanks for confirming you can get 4G speeds on the Vivid with T-Mobile.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] mg2195:
I believe the vivid and other Att phones have been getting up to H (fake 4G) speeds for a while now because T-Mobile recently added some more frequencies for their towers a month or two ago
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] XxSHaDoWxSLaYeRxX:
Yep. Thankful that T-Mobile finally joined the rest of the world lol
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] volcandroid:

i confirm getting 3G and H on my vivid :good:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] joellecool:
So, is Virtuous Inquisition a software? I have an unlocked Vivid through IMEI code, but internet doesn't seem to work on it. Thanks for your help.

In case you still need help, here is what I suggest:

For the unlock, use unlockusa.com to get your code. They're the fastest and most reliable on the market.

For the internet, use the following settings for your APN (Credits: http://htcsource.com/2012/08/how-to-sim-unlock-the-htc-vivid-and-add-t-mobiles-access-point/) :

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ibupropane:
This is a question about rom porting in general. I'm attempting to port Cyanogenmod 9 from the HTC Sensation to the HTC One S (with S3 processor). I am working up from pretty much 0 knowledge, I have learnt a lot so far although the amount that I don't know is still huge.

My situation:

I created my rom using one of the various guides on xda using a mish-mash of roms such as TrickDroid, Stock One S rom and CM9 for the Sensation.

I have a flashable rom (no errors during flashing with TWRP).

When trying to boot the rom, the boot animation plays but then the screen goes black and stays black.

The device does not respond to adb commands (such as logcat).

Comparison between the phones (Sensation : One S):

The same chipset.

Different clock speeds (1.2 : 1.7GHz)

Same screen resolution.

Different versions of sense (3.0 : 4.1).

My Questions:

What could be causing this failure to boot? Is it likely to be one of a few critical things or could it be anything?

Is the porting of roms between these two devices an achievable task for someone such as myself?

Which elements of a rom will be incompatible between two devices (i.e. what is it stopping me from just flashing a Sensation rom and it just working)?

What can I do to start troubleshooting as I can't get logcat to run?

Any other suggestions?

This is not a question about unbricking my device.

Thanks

Taking a T-Mobile galaxy s3. Anything special I need to do to use wifi over there? Thanks
[General Questions and Answers] Hobbesfed:
No, because WiFi has nothing to do with your carrier. You might need to password for the WiFi though. Data (3G or 4G LTE) will depend on carrier, and you will probably need to contact Tmo to enable Roaming.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] XSafire:
Luckily this isn't my main phone as it's close to junk now, but I wanted to test out 4.2 since my current device doesn't have a ROM yet. That being said, I'm in a real sticky situation that I don't think is possible to get out of.

So here's the problem

-micro USB port is fried, only charges when 0% battery and off. Can't mount storage at all.

-when it boots start up apps force close and it's impossible to get to the homescreen because of infinite popups. Factory reset does not fix this. Why this is is a mystery since it's the gapps that are force closing.

-sdcard is now mysteriously empty. I'm almost positive that I didn't wipe it on accident.

I need to get a new ROM onto it since a full wipe doesn't fix the problem. I can't mount the sdcard/adb push/fastboot due to fried port, I can't download through wifi/bluetooth due to infinite force closes.

Is there any possible solution that I'm not thinking of that can save my beloved gnex?

EDIT: Never mind I fixed it. I ended up wiping data, system, cache, and dalvik individually instead of trusting the factory reset option to do it for me. This of course caused the ROM to be removed completely so there wasn't anything to boot into. I was messing around in the recovery since that's all I could do and I figured out that for some reason whenever I did a factory reset it created another /0 directory on my sdcard. I had something like /sdcard/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/ before I could get to my real /sdcard. I flashed a ROM I had saved and am now up and running again. If I didn't have that ROM saved, I would have been screwed for sure.

Hey,

first of all: I'm using the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1974648 ROM (v. 3.1) and the Perseus Kernel alpha 27.2.

Before flashing this rom (I used the stock rom btw), music was all fine.

Now everytime I listen to music and turn of my screen, the music stops or crackles making it impossible to listen to, but when I keep my screen on, everything is ok.

I did a full wipe and restored no system files, also tried it with the installed MP3-Player and WinAmp Pro, both had the same problem.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] anybuddy:
I have something similar. I can't use the PowerAmp Lockscreen. If i activate it and turn off the screen, music stops. Without PowerAmp LS all is fine. I've flashed the Rom three times, but no luck. Maybe MegaBassBeats is the Problem, but i don't want to flash again ATM. I have no explanation, that makes me crazy. Especially it works for the Dev of the Rom and an other guy..

[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayce996:
hello,

It may have been already posted, but i would like to put on my GT3110 a simple & stable ROM without any additional SAMSUNG layer or any other modification.

i've tested the ROM provided by default, very slow and too much stuff that i don't want in it.

i've then tested the CyanogenMod 10 nighlty build, but the Keyboard wasn't working even after having done the clean as recommended on the web.

i've then tested the ROM RomsWell but it contains the SAMSUNG layer.

i'm now using the Paranoid Android 2.51 but the paranoidSettings seems to modify the resolution of the tablet and icons are not positionned correctly when moving from landscape to portrait.

i don't forget how big the work done by all these people providing this for free mainly, but as this tablet is dedicated for a gift to someone not android addict nor interesting in changing ROMs regularly,

So i would like to implement a Google stock ROM with nothing more/less than what is provided by google. even if i loose some performances or other things.

can you tell me where i can find this for the GT3110?

thank you in advance
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] king200:
If you install a launcher like Nova Launcher Prime, you'll find much of the Samsung layer gone. Some of the Samsung apps are superior. Email, Contacts and Planner come to mind. I would call the system easy for unsophisticated users and reliable as well. There plenty of help and a real user manual.

I've been flashing roms for years now and decided to stay with a rooted SGT27. Custom roms, even AOSP aren't that easy to use and there are always bugs.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean_Seany:
This .....

If you (or the person its for ) isnt into modding Android, stick to stock. I use Apex launcher (Free) and to be honest they are all pretty much the same. Touchwiz isnt that bad and Samsung stock apps are really cool.

I would suggest updating it to JellyBean stock via Odin/Heimdall or just wait for the official update via Samsung.I personally use AOKP M1 but its a little confusing to set things up at first and needs tweaking.NOT noob friendly at all and takes time to work it out. ( but that's why I like it).

I would be careful giving "Root" access to inexperienced users as they may get themselves into trouble with it....Remember it gives them full access and control of the ROM. I would suggest a start up manager either way ,to stop all the junk starting up when you boot. Samsung loves bloat lol.

If you want pure Android, flash an AOSP no frills ROM.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalMD:
This does not exist, in fact it does not exist for any device. Stop dreaming of the mythical "clean" ROM that is 10x faster. There is a lot more to a functioning ROM than Google open source Android. There is no such thing as a pure AOSP ROM for any device because its takes Android + kernel + drivers + libs + apps + bootloader + etc. to have a functioning ROM. and everything except the base Android API is device and version specific.

The Samsung touchwiz launcher doesn't slow anything down and if you don't like the way it looks, as suggested above, install one of the good third party launchers and its not even used.

I find this tablet running the Samsung stock ICS to be very fast and clean, So one would wonder what are you doing to it to make it "slow" There's only a few Samsung apps included and unless you run them, they just sit there doing nothing. You can hide them if you don't want to see the icons.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djmatt604:
Hi all devs for P7510:

I'm following guides all over the place in my attempt to learn a thing or two by building AOSP ICS (specifically the 4.0.4_r1 branch) from source. I know that Google states building anything other than master on a version of Ubuntu higher than 11.10 is experimental and not really supported - seen many Google Groups threads indicating this. I've been able to patch and fix some of the errors that I'm seeing, but others that I'm searching for are answered with links back to the AOSP website where it's simply saying building anything other than the master branch on Ubuntu 12.xx is not officially supported.

I am getting ready to re-do my dev environment with Ubuntu 10.04 to see if that really does make a difference somehow, but had a couple of questions that I'm hoping someone can answer as I get ready to try again.

1) Has anyone out there built AOSP 4.0.4, from a branch other than master, successfully for the P7510 device?

2) If so, with what version of Ubuntu/Linux and were there many errors encountered when compiling that required fixes via manual code revision rather than simply applying a missing dependency or toolchain fix?

I've searched high and low and it's proving particularly difficult to find info on whether or not someone has been able to build a non-master branch of AOSP ICS 4.0.4 for this particular device. I know I could just abandon it and try to build JB or something instead but really want to see if I can pull this off. Hoping someone out there can help me out!
