As a new user I cannot post my problem to AvijitGhosh82's Thread of Galaxy Y S5360 an all other Threads.

Today when I was Flashing JellyBlasy 3 of AvijitGhosh82, I make following mistakes:

1. I forgot to remove "link2sd" as asked by AvijitGhosh82.

2. Due to which when I wen in CWM and tried to Wipe data and cache and Dalvik cache it failed but I did not know that then. (I do remember "Failed" written somewhere on the screen though).

3. I started updating from JELLYBLAST V3.signed.zip.

4. It did update and phone was rebooted.

5. After reboot the animated logo of Galaxy S appeared on the screen severel times, but nothing else happened, I waited for half an hour but nothing happen.

6. I restarted the phone repeated all the steps again and even tried to find out where the heck is link2sd is so that I can remove it but failed.

CAN ANY ONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE.....

[Xperia Arc General] Nath316:
Ok I have been waiting patiently for an upgrade to the OS to my Arc

I am still running 2.3.4 etc etc

Everywhere I look on SONY they say there is an update BUT when I try and update it says I have the latest.

I finally bit the bullet and contacted SONY themselves.

I received a reply sharing my concern and asking what network I was on.

I replied I am on Virgin in UK.

The response

"I can confirm that the update is network dependant. As your handset is locked to the network Virgin Mobile, I would suggest contacting them direct as to if/when they are releasing the update for your handset.

Sorry for any inconvenience caused."

What a load of bollocks.

I mean what is a android phone but a cut down computer running a cut down linux etc etc

Why should the network operator control what can be updated?

If this was a normal computer I would simply go online and down load the software and install it, or maybe go to a shop and buy it, it does not matter how I just do it

The days that a network operator control what a user can update should be long gone in this opensource etc age

I am very VERY pissed off about this

Is there no where where I can simply go and down load the os for ICS and install it without having to go through the rigmoral and jump through hoops that I have read through here.

I simple want to download a file(s) onto my phone or computer and simple say update......................
[Xperia Arc General] chandoliasnikos:
You can use Flashtool and flash latest firmware.

From the middle of nowhere to the center of everywhere...through my Arc S!
[Xperia Arc General] Nath316:
tried that previously and could not do it

i even followed the numpty instructions and it would not work

hence why I am getting more and more annoyed
[Xperia Arc General] SXUsr:
It more or less is, and if the flashtool isn't working for you then I can only assume you're doing something wrong.
[Xperia Arc General] Nath316:

I will have another look at this and see
[Xperia Arc General] Someguyfromhell:
You can make the update yourself, by flashing a newer firmware on your phone, just make sure to not wipe your data.

The operators, who release branded firmwares, might not give out updates, as they do not wish to people to use generic firmwares, but ones with their branding. And probably too lazy to work on that.

hi,im sending my s2 to envirofone and was wondering if they bother if its on a custom ROM,if so could someone point me in direction of a stock rom,ive factory reset but im still on paranoid android,thanks
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MistahBungle:
Samfirmware.com, AndroidFirmwares.net or the PC version of Checkfus.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theunderling:
What are your phones details?.

Just join sammobile and input your phones details in the firmware section and use the one for 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.

If it was me,Id wipe everything in cwm,check the triangles gone/binary at 0,then flash the stock rom.

Just dont be on 4.0.4 stock and start wiping stuff.

[Asus Transformer TF700] hong90:
I searched through other threads but I couldn't find an answer. I was just wondering if OTA updates install all of the updates at once to the latest firmware or if it asks to update each time to the next one.

Thanks for the help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Updates are cumulative. Each update includes all of the previous ones.
[Asus Transformer TF700] laving1977:
It depends.

Last update was minor one and the size of it did not definitely allow to have all previous updates to be included.

For excample SGS3 last update to 4.1.1 also was different in size OTA vs Kies so ota was just a update and Kies had full rom.

Also when you buy new device you sometimes have to update it many times in a row - meaning they are not cumulative.
[Asus Transformer TF700] buhohitr:
Unless the update is adding a good amount of additional apps and feature, the size should be relative small increment between versions. The rule of updating is cumulative unless otherwise noted by the manufacture. As you could see going from ICS .30 version to JB .16 is big (adding Google now, and other stuff) the size jumped from 379,257 to 465,064 (this is already compressed). Another thing you could check is if you downgrade back to .30, what is the OTA version when you boot up?? If incremental is required, you should see .16, then .20 etc...but if you see .23, then that's all you need!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
Sometimes they are - in some other thread a direct OTA from 9.4.5.26 to 10.4.4.20 was sighted.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hong90:
When I click the update it doesn't tell me which one it is going to update to. Just current. I'm on .26 right now as it's a new device and I'm just trying to figure out what I need to do in what order to get cleanrom on it. This is prob a noob question but if I update to .23 will I be able to flash TWRP and cleanrom fine? Or should I update to .20 and wait on .23?
[NFC Hacking] sansibar:
I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII and just made my first NFC-steps using some Samsung TecTiles tabs.

After trying a few NFC apps from the Google play, I have a few basic questions.

While basic functions like p.ex. switching Bluetooth are available in all apps, other functions like p.ex. showing a pop-up, text-to-speech or calendar functions are only available in only in one particular app.

Is there a predefined set of nfc-functions for any given android version or the app-author is basically free to program any function he can think of?

I tried to import a tag in one app which i previously have written with another app. This didn't always succeed. I could understand that there is a problem with importing special functions which are unknow to an app, but at least the basic tag and the basic functions should be recognised by all nfc-apps.

As the nfc-apps progress, will we see new functions/possibilities or will it stay about at the present level as the available functions are limited by android?

My device is locked, mainly because it was mandatory by a VPN installation.

Is there a way to unlock it 'automatically' thru NFC? I know this can be a security issue, but it would be so handy just p.ex. to put the phone in the car-holder and it would automatically go to the home screen or the car screen, and also during driving its annoying when the device has a time lock and needs to be unlocked in the middle of an intersection......;)

What is the power consumption of the nfc-module in the S3?

Thanks for your input.

Rgds
[NFC Hacking] ascsa:
I think, I know which app you mean :p

There is a set of predefined nfc-functions, (like open a webpage, vcard, open an app..) but this set is very very limited and even the mentioned Bluetooth function is not included .... in fact, bluetooth needs a little hacking, because the official api does not support to turn on bluetooth without asking the user .....so basically a developer can (/ has to!) implement every function he wants, but in reality a lot of functions are blocked on non-rooted devices, because android defined them as security related....

As mentioned the basic set is very limited.... it´s based on the nfc forum specifications and using nfc to control your device, is something these guys never had in mind ....so, sure you could use some standard nfc writer and write a webpage on a tag..... and this should be something every nfc device (not only android, but also blackberry, windows phone etc...) could handle .... but if you want to control your device, you need a more sophisticated app .... and there is no way to import a tag from one app to another ...

The functions are limited by android .... and my feeling is, that with every android update it get´s more limited! --> on Gingerbread, nfc was enabled while screen was off --> a function they skipped with ICS (ok, again, on a rooted device you could change the NFC.apk, to re-enable it) ... the last JB update declared the airplane modes as a security feature ... so no luck with airplane mode since 4.2 ...only to mention 2 examples ...don´t get me wrong, I don´t think it will stay at the present level, but it´s definitiv not in googles focus yet .... personally, I have a lot of new functions and use cases on my ToDo list, so I would say it´s just the beginning ;)

yep, but again some hacking is envolved ... root your phone, change the nfc.apk, etc. ...I think there are several threads regarding this topic available ....

EDIT: Link added: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1853721

Forget it .... it doesn´t make a significant difference, if you have NFC enabled or disabled ....

no problem ;)
[HTC One V] Serenadier:
I recently rooted my One V, but I did an adb backup with all the flags. Including backing up shared files.

After root, I am unable to restore my .ab backup as it stalls at com.android.sharedstorage or something like that. The backup won't move at all, and I have important messages and contacts that are backed up in the file.

Please help me with this. Thanks...
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
uhmm, i did not understand it ! :!
[HTC One V] Tehwafflez:
So your saying instead of using cwm or twrp you made a system dump with adb? Hmmm. Is it too late to run the ruu and start from scratch and do it right?
[HTC One V] Serenadier:
Okay, so I shall explain again.

Before unlocking & rooting my One V, I made an .ab backup using adb (command line = adb backup -noshared etc etc). Backed up my contacts and stuff.

After unlocking and rooting, I installed CM10 on my One V.

Then after that, I used adb again to push the backup to the phone. The phone accepts it and all, but then it stalls at restoring com.android.sharedstoragebackup for ages and won't move.

I have no SD card in the phone before or after the backup/unlock/root/restore.

I will try the RUU and see how things work. In the meantime, if there are any alternatives, in case the RUU method doesn't, please advice.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One V] cybervibin:
U need a sd card bro Manny things are dependent on it
[HTC One V] Serenadier:
Tried using an SD card, hopefully the missing contacts were restored. Ah well, thanks for the tip!

Yes, wipe data + dalvik cache.

I'm custom baking the rom from the modaco member page.

I assumed disabling the (non LatinIME) could be the problem, but with or without it's still the same.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] mr_raider:
How do you get facebook contact sync to work? I checked the box under accounts but they don't show up in the people app.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] xtzz:
Doesn't work here either, but since I've baked it without the fb sync option to avoid acore crashes on startup I think it's a normal behaviour.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] paulobrien:
I'll put it on the to do list. Completely understand your thinking. ;)

I'll fix the FB sync tomorrow!

P
[Nexus 10 Android Development] xtzz:
Hey Paul :)

I'd ask for this to be worked out somehow, but since /dev/exynos-mem doesn't exist here I guess this flaw does not apply to the N10 :)

USB OTG is perfectly realised in Chainfire's StickMount so that's not a problem anymore.

I got a question tho:

I'm using motorola's bluetooth kit (kbd and mouse). I've configured 2 languages on it and whenever I want to change them with Ctrl+Space, the tablet reboots itself (soft boot). Is this normal? (it happens on stock fw with a Microsoft wired kbd too). If this is by design - could it get overriden? I wouldn't wanna reboot just to switch languages...
[Nexus 10 Android Development] paulobrien:
The vulnerability doesn't apply to the Nexus 10!

R.e. the keyboard, I have a BT keyboard on he way so i'll look at that.

[Nexus 10 Android Development] trublu:
could you explain how you moved the soft keys?

is it possible to add the dialer app as i would love to use the android inbuilt sip calling feature but without the dialer app its not possible i guess
[Nexus 10 Android Development] paulobrien:
I'll add this as an option.

P
[Nexus 10 Android Development] clavicle:
I am unsure that this is a valid request, but I would love see an option of both the navigation bar and the status shared on one side. In my opinion a lot of real estate of the screen goes wasted in the navigation bar which could be well put up in the status bar.

Thanks.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] paulobrien:
There have been a lot of app updates lately you may have noticed - these have now all been integrated into the kitchen, there will be some more improvements before I build the next release. :)

I've screwed flashing up and it's bootlooping, is it possible to get a odin tar of this rom?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] mr_raider:
Try holding down volume up/down simultaneously while booting. If you can get to fastboot mode, you can use WUGs toolkit to restore to stock image than retry the flash again.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Hatman41:
So I use TWRP Recovery and it does not have the ability to say use update.zip. I installed it like I would a regular ROM and of course I am missing alot of things that I should have.

Maybe thers is a bug about GPS in this ROM

The file mode of "/system/vendor/bin/gpsd" is 644.

So it will met the following error when run google maps or GPS Status APP:

"LIBGPS: Cannot communicate (write) with a GPSD“

After change file mode to 755, GPS works again.

Issues installing

@paulobrien I use TWRP recovery. I had CM10.1 installed so I went into recovery did a wipe and installed your ROM like I would any other ROM. I see your boot screen and it went through a first time install setup. After I am in the ROM however it looks just like the stock ROM. Nothing is different. I am new to your ROM's so am unsure what I did wrong? I am thinking that your install instructions are for people that have CWM?
[Nexus 10 Android Development] paulobrien:
It's supposed to look like the stock ROM. :) What feature are you missing that you were expecting? :)

P
[Nexus 10 Android Development] paulobrien:
I've just fixed an issue with Pinyin input in the kitchen. This will be in the next pre-bake obviously! :)

P
[Nexus 10 Android Development] Hatman41:
I thought there would be some custom menu just for your rom were you can access differnt settings. Such as the UI changes. I really like the theme engine in CM10.1 that is the main reason that I use CM10.1. I also like the ability to remove the search bar on the launcher.
[Nexus 10 Android Development] paulobrien:
I've just finished investigating the various 'gradient fix' requirements with a view to incorporating them in the next release. Some no longer apply on 4.2 but some, as you can see below, still do. :)

I've made an updated version and assuming it tests OK, i'll incorporate it for the next release! :)

Paul, just curious, do you know if the slow-to-wake issue when you press the power button to screen-on time is a rom or kernel issue?

When i flash the rom is the stock kernel include or?

When flashing costum kernel must i repack the kernel

In addition to compass problems, GPS also does not work with this ROM/Kernel. I flashed the most recent ROM however, the fix was not in it. Please let us know if a fix is on the way.
