[Galaxy Note II General] mottyengel:
Hey gus, got something to show you, a tip, and a question, i made a music video last week (Alicia keys/Rihanna cover) and used my note 2 for one angle. I figured why not start using it, i bought alot of batteries for it, i have a 64 gb card, and its 1080 like my other cameras. Obviously, the lens and sensor arent that great but in low light, and if its on a tripod, its pretty good, i was even able to add zooming later in the editing. The note 2 shot is the one with the drummer/rapper http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeRceSDUjtk .

A couple things, first of all, here is the link for a tripod mount that definitely works for the note 2, if you buy any others, make sure they fit first. The whole stabalizer thing is stupid and it doesnt really do anything although i guess it would help you not block the lens or mic, it works great as a tripod mount http://www.amazon.com/Woxom-Slingsho.../dp/B008Q1XQ5Q

Also, does anyone know of any apps that will let you lower the gain of the microphone while taking video? because the mics on really all of these phones are abysmal!! Really if you were able to lower the gain, that would solve the issue, mostly. also, does anyone know if theres a way to get an external microphone working on the phone when taking video? when i plug in my video mic it still records from the internal microphones.

On a side note (no pun intended) i think its kind of cool that it records in stereo with the built in mics... i thought thatextra mic was just for when youre on speaker but it seems like its used for stereo... when did they start doing that with phones?

Anyway, tell me what you think of the video, again, the note 2 angle is the one on the drummer and the zooming is not the digital zoom while recording, but after in the editing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeRceSDUjtk

[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboggini:
So,

I used BreakDroid to get a TWRP on my fire and then installed twa_priv's ROM on it and I'm enjoying Jelly Bean. I first tried the 0804 build and then updated to 1202. I started running into Sleeps of Death and so I backed down to 1127. Still having SOD's I installed the SoftLocker tool to deactivate deep sleep and things seem to work just fine. The only issues I've found is 1) sometimes when doing a google search, with NOW that I can't click on any results for a number of seconds and 2) I've had trouble posting replies or threads to this site. Other than that, things work very well and I'm extremely impressed. Now, I noticed that I'm actually running TWRP 2.3.1.1 since that is what BreakDroid installed. I backed up the stock rooted ROM with that so I was wondering, what problems would I run into. I did some searching around here but didn't find anything definitive.

Just curious if I should downgrade or not. If I do, from what I've read, I might not be able to use my stock backup which might be a problem if I ever want to go back.

Thoughts?

thanks peterb
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
You should certainly downgrade because how it wipes is broken best wait till that is fixed.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboggini:
Ah OK, so wipes are clean then? Is downgrading done thru fastboot? How about my stock coup, is that usable with older versions? Is 2.2.1 OK?

Thanks peterb

Transfer this zip to your sdcard and flash it in recovery then reboot do not extract it http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30780737&postcount=180 make sure to thank Tera Tike for providing it. Your stock backup will still be fine. When you reflash Sgt7 or upgrade reflash gapps then wipe dalvik and cache this should clear up any problems with G Now. I'm using jb-20121011-signed.zip on the same ROM most recent build works perfect.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboggini:
OK so I downloaded that zip and moved it to the sdcard. Should I flash it with my current recovery or with fastboot or does it matter?

Thanks peterb
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
It totally matters this is intended to be flashed only in recovery the other way will break your recovery or brick you. Never fastboot flash a zip file.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pboggini:
OK, thanks! Will do that tonight and then apply the 1210 image. Also, is the wipe issue the only problem with 2.3.1.1? I ask because I could use fastboot to erase cache and userdata (it's been a while since I did phones so my memory is rusty) and that would essentially net me a factory reset, right? I don't recall ever being able to use fastboot to erase the dalvik-cache so I'm thinking that might be a unique thing to recovery.

I will say that this recovery is really a step forward from what I remember using on a couple of ION phones years ago:).

thanks peterb
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thepooch:
Third post down kinfauns explains the fastboot erase commands most eloquently http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1552547 if you so desire personally recoveries that work correctly is the safest approach. 2.3.1.1 has an adb sideload feature that could be handy but I have never tested it. Other than that I don't believe it it has anything extra that 2.2.2.1 doesn't.

This forum is a sleuth of information but even using search I can't seem to find how to make my TF300T look like a Nexus 10. (Where the status bar is at the top, etc.) I just don't understand all the lingo everywhere. No rom appears to say nexus in the title.

[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malobestino:
I recently got a tf300t which came already with 10.4.2.17 JB firmware.

At the moment I'm not plannig to install custom ROMs basically because I understand that I should unlock the bootloader and lose the warranty doing so.

The device is notifying that an update (the .18 firmware, I guess) is available, but before upgrading I want to be sure that in the future I will able to unlock the bootloader and then install custom ROMs.

Can someone please reassure me about it?

I'm sorry if this sounds as a dumb question, but I'm pretty new to this tablet and in the past I lost the ability to gain root access for another device beacuse of an OTA update.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reffu:
If you're already on 10.4.2.17, upgrading to 10.4.2.18 won't affect your ability to unlock. Some people (like myself) are unable to unlock for unknown reasons, but upgrading from .17 to .18 shouldn't make a difference(10.4.2.18 doesn't really change much). If you're able to unlock, you should be able to do it on either .17 or .18. If you're unable to unlock, you then wouldn't have been able to do it on either version.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malobestino:
Thank you for your answer.

This inability to unlock somewhat scares me.

Is this connected in someway to the production date of the device (which maybe could retrieved from the serial number)?
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reffu:
I'm not sure, I know I and several others have been unable to unlock. There are various theories as to why (ASUS unlock server problems, serial number not in their database, certain serial numbers don't work, etc...). Worst case scenario is that when you try to unlock, it gives you the error "Unknown error occurs, which may be a network connection issue. please wait and try again later" and nothing happens. Personally, I'm pretty sure my problem has to do with the fact that the serial number in settings is different from the one on the bottom of the tablet (the one on the sticker). Unfortunately for me, there is no way to change the internal serial number without being rooted, and no way to root on JB (for now) without being unlocked.
[Transformer TF300T Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danyal241:

Under choose OS , select android, go to utilities, the second file should say "Unlock Device App: Unlock boot loader." download the file, copy it to the tablet and open it in file manager. If you have install from other sources enabled it should bring up an install dialog and install an app called unlock tool. Open this app, scroll and click through all of the terms of agreement, and click unlock, If its going to work, this is where the unlock will happen.

I got a HTC Evo 4g lte that was rooted, I took it to Clear Talk (Pre-paid phone company) so they could flash it over to their company but they told me that it wasn't possible because the phone was rooted with CM10 and Dial pad code ##3424# was not working so I had to flash it to a rooted stock rom (deodex rom) and after I flash it I took it back to Clear-Talk and now they were able to flash it to their company, so my question is if I want to go back to CM10 ROM can I do it without worrying that the phone will lost the activation to Clear-Talk?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] droiddawg:
You shouldn't have any issues. The phone won't go through hands free activation after flashing a rom. Just don't do #786 because that will wipe everything (if you enter your msl) and will make the phone go through hands free activation.

In case of tl,dr...flash away, no worries.

2. Wiped Cache, dalvik, data in custom recovery.

3. Installed CM7.2 and gapps

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dekan54:
Hi,

I have been trying to educate myself by using TWRP (ver 2.3.2.1) and loading custom ROM's

I have used the format option in TWRP and now I can no long load or push any files to the SD card. I am able to use WegFresh Root Tool Kit (ver 1.6.1) and get to TWRP and to the bootloader (Android laying on it's back - chest open)

How do I re-create the proper file structure to be able to load ROM's once again. As an example..... "/system" is completely empty.

Thank you....

Update - The problem has been solved and it was due to the driver between my laptop and the Nex7. In Device Manager it was showing up as "Andriod Phone - Andriod Bootloader Interface" THIS WILL NOT WORK!

Your device manager has to say - "Android Phone - Android ADB Interface" for it to be able to push files to the Nex7

I've heard that Win8 causes issues, specifically with fastboot flashing files. I've heard you can install the drivers and is recommended to turn off driver signing.

Debug mode only works when the device is booted in the OS, not recovery. Do you have access to another OS, like Linux or Win7? This may be easier to do.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackdragon77:
I've not mypc, so I can't help you step by step.

You can use the advanced options of the toolkit to flash a zip or use the sdk to use the adb sideload.

google will help you to found how use "adb sideload", as the option you can see in recovery.

ADB Sideload

What is ADB sideload?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

ADB sideload is a new feature that was added to AOSP recovery in Jelly Bean. As of version 2.3, TWRP now supports ADB sideload mode. ADB sideload is a different ADB mode that you can use to push and install a zip using one command from your computer. Most likely ADB sideload won't be very useful for your average recovery user, but ADB sideload can be a huge time-saver for a ROM developer.

How do I use ADB sideload?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.Have a recovery installed on your device that supports ADB sideload like TWRP 2.3 or higher

2.Have newer ADB binaries installed on your computer. If it's been a while since you installed ADB on your computer, you may need to get the latest ADB binaries in platform-tools from the Android SDK. You will need version 1.0.29 or higher. You can find your current version by typing "adb version" at the command line.

3.Set the device into ADB sideload mode. In TWRP you do this by going to Advanced then ADB Sideload.

4.From the command line, type adb sideload /path/to/rom.zip

The file will be copied to your device to whatever the current storage location is that you have selected in the mount page. It will always be placed in the root of that storage location and named sideload.zip (e.g. /sdcard/sideload.zip) and it will automatically delete / overwrite any existing sideload.zip you may have on your device. As soon as the file is copied to your device, it will automatically be installed. When the install is finished you will be presented with a reboot system button so that you can reboot to test your zip.

Note that sideload mode is a separate ADB mode. While in sideload mode, regular ADB commands will not work. Once the zip has been copied to the device and the install starts (or if you hit the cancel button) regular ADB mode will resume.
