Greetings everyone,

I would like to know that is any possible way to back up my home config ( Folders/Widgets ) ?

I am using Stock touchwiz home launcher .

Maybe a third party app can do this and how ?

Thanks

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldoud:
Hi guys,

Before I start, as it may or may not be related, just a note that I modified my partition table a few months ago to make DATAFS larger and UMS smaller.

So, I've been having a few problems with my Note lately. It had a small fall once (10-20cm) and the battery popped out. After that the phone refused to boot (stuck at GT N7000 logo). I just assumed "something went wrong", and as I wanted to clean my phone anyway, I just wiped / restored apps from Titanium.

All was fine and dandy. Except my phone crashed again today (screen off, still playing FM radio but won't come back on). Went straight into recovery and decided to run fsck just for kicks... and was greeted with a looooong list of errors. Skipping to the juicy bits:

Illegal block number passed to ext2fs_test_block_bitmap #3745358202 for multiply claimed block map
[b](Many, many of the above)[/b]
...
Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode 32765: 159256 159257 159258 159259 159260 159261 159262 159263
[b](Many, many of the above)[/b]
...
Pass 1D: Reconciling multiply-claimed blocks
(There are 13649 inodes containing multiply-claimed blocks.)
...

I didn't leave the scan to complete, will probably do it overnight.

My /system partition seems fine however

e2fsck -c /dev/block/mmcblk0p9
e2fsck 1.41.11 (14-Mar-2010)
/dev/block/mmcblk0p9: Updating bad block inode.

/dev/block/mmcblk0p9: 2032/54544 files (1.3% non-contiguous), 208212/218112 blocks

I will reflash with pit from Odin tonight once I'm home, and see if that helps. I guess my question is though, do I even bother? Looks to me like my emmc is (partially) dead, should I just reflash all stock and bring it to a service center?

Thanks for the help!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldoud:
Well, what do you know, looks like I've fixed my issue. Been going through some checks for bad blocks through dd, and the partition could be read without issues, so figured it couldn't be that bad.

For reference, what I've then done is:

- In parted, use mkfs to recreate the datafs partition as ext2

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0
mkfs
10
ext2

- Convert the ext2 partition to ext3

tune2fs -j /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

- Convert the ext3 partition to ext4

tune2fs -O extents,uninit_bg,dir_index /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

- Run e2fsck

e2fsck /dev/block/mmcblk0p10

- Did a factory reset from recovery and rebooted

And voila :)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] friedje:
Lol you fix faster then we can respond to your questions.

Wanted to say that your emmc doesn't look fried, since the

errors say that parts of your filesystem are multiply claimed,

so a format should do the trick.

Good to see that you found it already :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cooldoud:
Hehe, thanks for the tip though ;)

I also initially thought this was just a partition issue, but I just got confused... In my mind, a factory reset would do a format already, and if so, doing a format myself wouldn't help. I'm however quite glad I was wrong :)

I apologize in advance because this is such a basic question I'm sure it has been answered, but there are already 160 pages in the rooting thread and I can't find my question answered in there from a quick search.

If I have a GS3 running stock ICS and I want rooted JB, should I update to JB over Kies and then follow the rooting instructions, or can I simply start with the rooted JB rom over my ICS?

Understood. That is the thread to which I was referring. I just am not clear if I need to upgrade to JB prior to flashing the rooted JB rom, or if I can flash the rooted JB rom onto my current ICS phone. Maybe it's my reading comprehension, but I just wanted to confirm.

The links in this thread are complete ROMs, no need to upgrade before.

In fact, doing so would only be a big waste of your time ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] g2tegg:
Once you have CWM or TWRP installed it doesn't matter. I can go from CM10, AOKP, JB, ICS but simply flashing the rom. Of course you need to wipe data every time so I recommend you purchasing Titanium Backup. Its cheap, and a life saver.

Whenever I end up changing roms I can simply restore my call history, mms/texts, bookmarks and apps. Even Bluetooth pairing/wifi settings.

Use titanium with caution as with any restore app. You do not want to restore system specific apps if your going from ICS to JB. Or vice versa

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Trinition:
I heard over on Android Authority that Samsung has release its JellyBean source code for the i1900. I know our phones have a different processor, so it's not going to work on our phones, but given that they share at least a name, should I be hopeful that there could be some goodness in there to help move our Skyrocket's along with JellyBean (e.g. CyanogenMod 10.1), or even hopes of an official JellyBean release from Samsung?

http://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-releases-android-jelly-bean-source-code-galaxy-s2-137715/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
There is already a Samsung JB leak in Development forum, you should have taken a look there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Do you read any of our threads before posting useless new threads?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Trinition:
Should have done a search? I did, thanks. Searched for "jelly bean source". No hits. So I posted.

And a leaked *compiled* ROM does not equal source. Now it does answer my question about the Skyrocket getting Jelly Bean, and further implies there will eventually be a source delivery. That does not mean that the regular S2 Jelly Bean source available now can't offer a more immediate impact.

Also note that the UCLK4 thread in the development forum is slightly over one day old as of now. At the time I posted this thread, it was about 12 hours old. And the one in the General section was started after.

In fact, I saw the S2 news at AA much earlier yesterday but decided to wait to ask so others with more knowledge and experience could preemptively answer my question. But, via my search, I didn't find my answer.

So, yes, I agree my thread is now irrelevant. But at the time, it was hardly as clear as the smug replies in this thread suggest.

Sorry for my rudeness in response to yours. I know you guys have to put up with a lot of newbs. But the robotic and condescending dismissals are just as annoying to see over and over again, especially after I *did* do my due diligence.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jack_R1:
I didn't mean anything harsh in my reply, but answered half of your question, a half that seemed to me the most important one (our phone having official Samsung JB).

To answer one more thing: the sources are good for some things, namely if your goal is to patch the new kernel to the old driver binaries (the kind of work that's necessary for old and non-supported phones to run the latest OS found on their latest siblings with the same chipset) - but if your goal is to run the full OS with official latest drivers that it's built to run with, without precompiled binaries the source is good for nothing. And the patching work is futile if the official release is a month-two away.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] romo1987:
So, probably asked hundreds of times before, I already searched for it and know some candidates, but since the oppinions I have found could be outdated, I'll ask again:

I want to jump to game development as a hobbie. I already have a job programming, and know C++ and Java very well (not a guru...yet! :cowboy:). But when I search for game engines there are SO many to choose from.

I'd like to pick one which:

has a big community of users (for example, PlayN looks nice, but I think lacks of this. just try to google "PlayN push notifications" and nothing will appear)

is free (since it's just a hobby)

and would be nice (not mandatory) if it was possible to port to other non-Android devices (iOS, Windows8...). AndEngine looks great, but it is only for Android, and I don't know if Cocos2Dx is reliable.

extra points if the engine includes multiplayer capabilities or push notifications. I have not found information about this for PlayN, AndEngine or Cocos2Dx, so I guess they don't have these features and aim only for graphics. Moai looks promising here, but I don't want to learn to use it and then discover than the free edition is too limited.

So, I'd love to hear oppinions from game developers around here: please tell me your experiences.

BTW, I'd love to create a Civilization-like game, that's why I'm interested in push notifications and multiplayer. But I'll start with a card game, because I'm just not that mad (yet).

PS: After reading forum rules, I guess this question goes here, in Q&A, but feel free to move it to Android Game development subforum if you think it is misplaced.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oscuras:
I don't know about push notifications, but I think you'll have to code the multiplayer part yourself using sockets because multiplayer is different from game to game.

The home key on my phone appears to have stopped working. Nothing happens when I press it. Occasionally, if I mash my finger on the area aroud the home key, my lockscreen wallpaper will display for a second or two before returning me to whatever app I was in.

A) Is there any way to tell whether this is a hardware problem (somehow not making a connection when I touch) or software problem (phone detects the touch but doesn't respond)?

B) Any simple fixes

I

can do to restore functionality?

C) If it is a hardware problem, what are my options? How is Samsung at handling exchanges? I've rooted my phone - if I do need to send it in, should I restore it to factory default first?

If that fails too then go to development section and search for mikes thread(ARHD thread) it has roms close to stock one

Currently waiting on the UPS man to deliver our two E4GT's. I have the samsung driver's installed and ready to go. I am leaning towards using Odin to restore a rooted FK23. But I have made alot of consideration's on some of these other packaged rom's. In the past I would just install a cyanogenmod variant and never look back till there was a update. But reading around here, CM does not seem all that popular? Maybe because the stock based rom's are so good?

What would you choose? FK23 is getting alot of good reports. Maybe something based off of it?

Hello. You are asking the question we all have soon after getting our phone.

I will get to the bread and butter for you. Please note, this is from my experience only. I can't speak for everybody because as I am sure you know, NO ....NO.... two users are the same.

So, I have had the E4GT for around 5 months now. Love the phone....hate the battery life, but for this kind of power...I expected a weak battery. So firstly....get the extended battery!

Roms....Hahahahaha...so many. I have tried a lot. My phone came with ICS installed. Within a week I moved to CM9 beta 1....not bad....then to black rom....then to jellyverse....than went to a gingerbread build CM....than found " the blu kuban" Man I love the kuban. Tried the Ginger bread build and ICS build too. I AM back on the ICS build because GB build kept acting like I had a slide out keyboard. But man the kuban is awesome. It allows you to pick what you want installed upon first installation. Sweet...so sweet. It has tons of tweaks built in. It allows you to tweak everything from charging to boot animations inside the settings. I am telling you....try what you want, but once you get comfortable with the kuban you will always come back to it. I just left the new leaked jellybean Fk23 2 days ago...returning to the blue kuban. Fk23 was way to lagging for me...typing had delays, Apps hesitated to open and close....just way to slow.

Here is the link I use for roms.

http://xdaforums.com/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_II/SPH-D710/ROMs

It is a bit old, but a great start for you. Also...

Qbking77 has tons of YouTube walkthroughs and review videos posted for the E4GT. I hope this helps you get started, have fun....find what best suits you...but do try the Blu Kuban.....it is worth a spin.

Goodluck. Happy rom'ing....FOLLOW DIRECTIONS CLOSELY!

P.S. your comment about CM roms....it is because our phone has yet to get a stable release of CM :-\ something about how long it took for the cyanogenmod team to get the source code for the phone. I AM no Dev..and it has been a while since I read the article about it...but please note...there is NO stable CM for the E4GT as of yet. CM 10 is on beta 2 and CM9 is on beta 1.
