[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
Hello all, weirdly I can't find any threads about this so I wanted to create this for both my own benefit and hopefully the other users of this forum. The kindle fire can use third party keyboards with the use of the nook tools app, essentially bringing in the functionality that the kindle fire settings application covers up by not having it available. I have downloaded what I have decided is just about every keyboard under the sun and NONE of them work! Everything force closes and makes my kindle become a land of mayhem and forceclosing until I reapply the stock keyboard. I am running MoDaCo 9.2 which is based on 6.3.1 (i believe, whatever the latest OTA is), is this something that Amazon did with the software to prevent 3rd party keyboards from working or does anyone know of any keyboards that work? I HATE the stock amazon keyboard, so I would really like to replace it if anyone knows of a compatible keyboard. Thanks!!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
bump - I find it hard to believe nobody knows of any working third party keyboards or at least knows whether this feature was "broken"
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] notdeadyet01:
I believe you would have to move to keyboard apk to data/system
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparkplugDev:
yeah, sorry, I forgot to mention that, but yes. This is happening after I move it to system/app, the nook tools app won't see it until it's in system/app.

Hey guyz...I was just wondering wat is d best one click app killer for note 2.. advance task killer doesnt do the job well coz afta dat I used da app killer of an antivirus (avg) and I cleared extra 400mg ram..wen as per adv task killer,all the apps wre killed.. so any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
The best one click app killer is none at all in my opinion!

Whilst I accept that you may want to occasionally kill a single errant app, as far as I'm concerned there are absolutely no occasions where killing all apps is a good thing.

Free RAM is wasted RAM.

[HTC Rezound] wolfe2485:
Hello,

I've searched around and haven't found anyone with the same issue that I'm having right now. I'm not sure where else to look, but everyone from these forums seems to know exactly what to do with any type of phone, so I'm hoping someone knows what to do with mine.

I have and HTC Rezound and I was replacing the digitizer. I had it replaced and turned the phone on only to notice some crap in between the LCD and the digitizer that I didn't wipe away when I was replacing it. The phone worked perfectly at this point. I took the phone apart again to clean everything and turn it back on. Now my phone will not turn on. I've plugged it into the outlet and it shows me the red charge light for about 5 seconds, then it turns off. The battery is not an issue since I had the thing on 10 mins prior.

I'm wondering if I could have scratched something on the MB or if this is an issue that might just happen sometimes. There were a few things I noticed while replacing everything with my phone that I'll share. The ribbon cable for my LCD seems to get a very weak connection to the MB while plugging it in. I've also taken out the vibrator motor due to having to take apart and reassemble the phone so many times. I don't think either of those two things would cause a phone not to start up, but then again what do i know.

I'm not running any kind of ROM, this is just a regular ass Rezound. Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] Squirrel1620:
Well I know the hard way that static electricity can kill a MB, you should be wearing gloves when tinkering inside your phone. Hope it's something a lil easier to fix though!

[Droid X General] greedj:
For all those fans out there still using a stock rooted Droid X.

Here is a nice simple tweak to help elimiate lag and spontanious reboots on the X.

Download "VM Heap Tool (root only) from the market OR edit your built.prop manually if you know how.

Set your heap size to 36mb (Default is 32mb).

Q:

Why does this work?

A:

The Blur system process rides at about 31mb even after a reboot. This causes almost constant garbage collection by "system".

It just needs a little bit more room.

Q:

Why not just set it real high like 40, 44, 48, etc (Some third party ROM do this)?

A:

The X only has 512mb of ram, if you set your heap size high it may run out of ram and terminate apps instead of doing garbage collection.

36 is the sweet spot on the X.

Q:

I have my Heap size set lower than 32mb and my phone works good and it shows lots of free ram.

A:

The free RAM is because of the constant garbage collection, usually at the cost of major lag, hangs and reboots.

It is your phone and your setting.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrPeople:
Hi all, I haven't seen this thread yet so I figure it hasn't been asked.

Basically I'm on the 2011 June Wind BB, was thinking of taking the plunge and updating it instead of relying on the old bb patches for every new rom I place. Is it possible to revert to the old bb, I really don't like the idea of losing blutooth functionality, regardless if I use it or not.

So can the old BB replace the new BB, or it's permanent once you switch?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] vss_2003:
Yes, you can. I did it to my G2X, from March 2012 to July 2011 due to BT problems.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] MrPeople:

That's good to know, is it possible to back up the bb I'm using now or I'm stuck throwing in one that someone else has uploaded? Do you have a link for the old bb?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Core Memory:
BB cannot be "backed up". To revert, you must reinstall the whole .kdz file.
[General Questions and Answers] RadicalDev:
Hello! I'm a semi-competent programmer (been doing it for fun and profit for the last few years) and I do almost everything in Linux (and in Python/Java).

When I started working with Linux I wanted to learn everything about it, but I was an idiot when I started (probably still am) and didn't understand much of what I was reading so I focused on my programming skills instead of the OS itself.

When I first got an android device (xmas present from my girlfriend about a year ago), I looked at her like she was nuts, "WTH would I want one of them for? Thanks, though." Soon after, I loved the Samsung Galaxy Player 5 (YP-G70 Gingerbread 2.3.5 API level 10) she got me, and started learning how to write useful programs on it, and also stuck several thousand PDF copies of books on it so I could always learn wherever I went.

I had a dream, though, to totally customize it. Every sound, button, box, and bar and especially the boot/shutdown animations, made by me.

In doing so, I hope to learn a ton about embedded Linux and android.

So I started reading through everything I could find about development for Android (especially all the google docs) and my device in particular.

I've confirmed with myself that a so-called "hard-brick" is all but certain, and I will simply buy a new device or take the time to learn how to reflash through a JTAG interface, or both. (Actually, the JTAG would be my preferred option. I've done SOME work with JTAGs before, but didn't understand what I was doing at the time. Thank God for written language, the internet and smarter people than myself!)

I have some questions before I go blowing stuff up, though...

I want to compile Android from source (after making some adjustments, of course!) and flash it to my device. Per the google docs, fastboot makes that pretty easy to do, but per the dozen or so threads on XDA that I've read about fastboot on a SGP5, fastboot isn't available and I'll need to use someone elses stuff to make it work (eg, the great works of Cyanogen).

My question is:

Is it possible to put vanilla AOSP on an SGP5? Is it "possible" like it's "possible" to go to the moon (eg, I'll be reverse engineering the GPU/WIFI/etc hardware and writing drivers for them from scratch?)

Obviously Cyanogen and others have figured it out, and that probably means I could start with his work, but there's a ton of stuff on his github account and none of it speaks about my device specifically.

tl;dr

Basically, if I want to build my own super-minimal Android 2.3.5 distro that will run on a SGP5, whose branch of AOSP am I looking for?

Also, if I did manage to figure out the JTAG interface, I could, say, flash the engineering bootloader to the device and use fastboot, right? Is there another way to achieve this/remove all traces of Samsung?

Thanks!

Hello,

While attempting to flash my very first ROM, I got the following message at the completion off doing a Nandroid backup:

No /sdcard/.android_secure found. Skipping backup of applications on external storage.

Backing up cache…

No sd-ext found. Skipping backup of sd-ext.

Backup complete!

I do have an external SD card. The ROM I was attempting to flash is on my eternal memory card.

I used ROM Manager to do this. Any thoughts will be greatly appreciated!! :)

Bruce
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That's normal, it's looking for a separate partition called sd-ext which would be on the internal phone storage. You haven't created partitions within your internal sd card so it will say that every time. Mine states the same thing right before it completes Nandroid backups. The entire line that you quoted, ignore it and flash a rom. Your backup completed successfully correct?

"Sd-ext" does not mean external sd card.

Hey everyone, i have this problem with the Google Play store which is bugging me.

I've recently reinstalled Temasek 135.3 and found that apps i had before are now giving me a "unsupported device" error.

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
[LG Optimus 2x] V.Dragos:
this is usually the case when you change your display density.

try to clean the market settings (from apps or using titanium backup)

if that doesn't work, edit your build.prop so that the device name is something more generic/supported like galaxy s. for this method i suggest you google the exact steps.

good luck
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
Very true, i did change the LCD density from 240 to 210. I tried setting it back to it's default and rebooted... that didn't work.

I even tried clearing the cache and data to the Play Store and rebooted....still no avail....

...but thanks for the heads up, at least i now know where to start looking.
[LG Optimus 2x] Rezvonflux:
Actually, i think i may have found a thread to help me out, which refers to an app called LCD Density Modder.

I'll let you know when i get a chance to try it....

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Caliburn:
XDA Members,

I am pretty new to the world of Smartphones. My first Android was a T-Mobile G2 and I have recently upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S-III (also through T-Mobile). One of the initial things I did was update it to Android 4.1.1 via a T-Mobile OTA update. I then rooted the device using this method and it worked like a absolute charm. Today I discovered a Sim Unlock thread here on XDA and couldn't resist following the instructions as I like to have absolute control over the technology I purchase.

My next step would be a Custom ROM like Cyanogen I reckon. However I have some questions and will decide based off of your answers here if it actually a step I want to take. I have concerns about functionality, the benefits, and drawbacks. Hopefully your answers here will be enough to calm my nerves on this as I feel it'd be a very big step. So without further delay here are my preliminary questions:

1) How polished in Cynagen for the Samsung Galaxy S3? Are there a lot of bugs, errors, and the like? Is it running Android 4.1.1, Android 4.1.2, or Android 4.2.1?

2) If I switch over to the Cynoagen ROM in place of the stock firmware currently on my GS3 will I notice a performance increase or decrease in terms of speed, memory consumption, and related variables?

3) What functionality and/or features are missing from Cyanogen in comparison to the stock firmware? Specifically let's talk about camera functionality. The camera functionality in the stock firmware is pretty solid. Can I expect the same level of functionality from Cynaogen? If no then what is missing and/or different?

4) I do not have an SDCARD yet. If I move to Cyanogen can I swap back to the stock Samsung/T-Mobile variant of Android 4.1.1 easily and without too much difficulty?

5) What are the benefits and drawbacks to using Cyanogen over the stock ROM? Can you please enlighten me as to why using an aftermarket ROM is so popular?

This is just a series of preliminary questions. I inquired on the official Cyanogen community forums but getting responses is proving to be more difficult than I originally anticipated. I am hoping to have significantly better luck on these forums.

I'm really on the fence about rooting right now, i want to because i want to play all the games with an xbox or ps3 controller, also i only have the 16 gb and didn't realise there isn't apps to sd so 'd like to do the trick to get my sd card to read as internal memory but i have a hard time with the fact that you lose warranty when i have replaced many phones in the past from t-mobile. The technical side scares me in the possibilty of bricking my phone. What was your thought process on that? The warranty thing really scares me like i said because i have literally replaced about a dozen phones through customer care.
