Restore Apps with Filter

It was mentioned earlier in the post but in case you missed it (I did the first few times using TiBU), you can hit the "Restore All Apps + Missing Data" and when you go to run that batch, you will come to a screen with all the apps checked. Just hit "unselect all" and then check the user apps you want to restore. That was you restore all your missing apps and the data for all apps except for the sys apps. Works like a charm!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] HypostaticOnion:
I always select "restore missing apps with data" and that's all user stuff. I don't back up system either so I don't have to worry about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hallstevenson:
Just don't mention that you did this in the support thread for the ROM you're using ;)
[HTC Sensation] 5432:
Hi All,

I was wondering if it's possible to modify the video recording bit rate for the AOSP camera?

I'm currently on v.21 of Paranoid Android which has Google's latest camera with photosphere. I'd love it to record at a higher bitrate than it currently does.

Any ideas on how to increase it?

Kind Regards,

hi, does anyone else have this problem with the text notification sound not playing fully? It seems to cut off after playing the sound half way. I never had this issue before the update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Need to delete messages or increase number of texts stored.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] niners:
is this the only solution to this problem?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
As far as I know, yes. I have not read of any other solution.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] falcon26:
I really would like to pick up a Kindle 8.9 But I hate the Amazon OS thing. Will it be possible to completely remove that crap and install a pure Android OS on it like Jelly Bean soon and if so will it be fairly easy to do or will it require you to be a rocket scientist? I want to make sure I can play .MKV files on it...I can get the 8.9 now with credit for like $200 shipped which I think is a good deal. But I need pure google OS not Amazons..
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Geekybiker:
At some point in the future... probably. Cm10 is booting right now, but a long way from a usable rom. If you must have pure android this isn't the device for you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MifuneT:
It can be rooted, GApps can be installed with the majority of the applications working, and the launcher can be changed. I am using MX Player + a sideloaded codec to handle 1080p MKV + DTS audio, no stuttering issues, streaming from my file server over WiFi and accessed via BubblePNP. You can get a very Android-like experience, but it will be some time before a full ROM is available. Pure Google OS not possible for the moment, but I'm very happy with what I've been able to do with mine, with relatively minimal modification.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trahald:
Which codecs do you use? Where can I get them?

Thank you.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MifuneT:
A user recently compiled a bunch of codecs, for a variety of processor platforms. For the Fire HD, we use NEON

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=34649108&postcount=16

To install, just go into MX Player Settings -> Decoder ->

At the bottom is "Custom Codec" where you can specify a directory where the custom codecs are located.

It's amazing how smooth it streams even though I'm playing them over wifi. (My DLNA file/media server is using PS3 Media Server software, gigabit wired lan connection to E3200 Wireless router) YMMV, but so far, this is the best setup I have found for MKV + DTS. Seek speeds are also really quick.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VICosPhi:
Thanks a lot, however the MX player closes like randomly within 30 secs of launching. I read on amazon app store others having the same issues. Any ideas?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MifuneT:
In MX Player Settings, I set checkboxes for h/w (hardware) decoding for local, network and 10-bit. No checkboxes for software decoding. Color depth set to 32 bit.

The only other thing I can think of is how I have my media setup-- all of my files are played from a networked DLNA share (PS3 Media Server software on a Win7 file server) and MX Player is launched by Bubble UPnP (Pro), which is basically just the front end for me to access the DLNA share. I'm not storing or playing any videos locally from the Kindle.

Can you tell me anything about how your media is setup?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trahald:
I used to have same problem. Just uninstall MX Player and install from Play Store(not from Amazon Appstore) and apply codecs and use MifuneT's settings that he mentioned above. After those, my MX Player works great. I played some 720p.mkv files and they plays perfectly.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahnn:
So I basically ran into this issue: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1477876

I want to transfer my photos from my previous device to the nexus 4, keeping the proper date, but that doesn't seem to be possible apparently. Anyone got a workaround specifically for the n4? What has worked for you so far? I tried adb and Local Sync but no luck with either.

(Also I haven't gone the dropbox route yet, but I'd like to think there's an alternative to upload gbs of photos to dropbox only to download them back just to transfer photos to the phone)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahnn:
Funny, not even if downloaded from dropbox the date is preserved, at least in my case. Seriously. This is driving me nuts.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattb3:
I had this same issue and was equally frustrated. I was able to get the proper timestamps by installing a ssh server and copying the files over ssh with the preserve flags. I had the best luck with sshdroid app as the server.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahnn:
Thanks for the tip, I'm getting an error saying the upload of the file was successful, but permission to change the timestamp was denied, using SSHDroid on the phone and WinSCP on my laptop. Do I need to be rooted? I didn't really want to root the phone just yet :rolleyes:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahnn:
Still nothing. I tried this app which sounded promising, but the timestamps refuse to give in. This is terribly frustrating, any ideas, anyone?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mahnn:
Okay, so it's confirmed: it's impossible to do this without root on the nexus 4 (with root however forcing the timestamps via SSH or the Photo Date Correction app should work)

See here and here for more info. I won't root for now myself, but I guess I eventually will if Google doesn't react to the bug report.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scandiun:
Buy a Galaxy S2. It has dedicated partition for internal sdcard, so allows you to use Mass Storage Mode, which is not the case for newer devices (S3 and up).

Another possible option (not tested), is to transfer files via FTP.

No problem. I really enjoy making these videos anyway.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] karanrajpal14:
What would you prefer? This one or the TPU one?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Nxxx:
That's a tough question. If protection is more important than go for the TPU. Honestly, they're both great; I just can't decide.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] karanrajpal14:
Protection is very important as I tend to screw up sometimes :P diztronic ones seem to be the best ones available right now. So, what do you suggest? I know the TPU one is pretty awesome too!
[Nexus 4 Accessories] weysonn:
Do you also have the Ringke slim case and would you mind doing a comparison if you do?
[Nexus 4 Accessories] strobex:
Why else would you get a phone case if protection wasn't your primary reason

I only want one for minimal back protection since the phone is glass.

it works flawlessly...plug it in to the charger port(it has to be plugged in to work), and plug the other micro sd cable into your phone, and anything on your phone will appear on the television....I then took a S-jack to S-jack(small plug like on your headphones) and plugged it into the phone, and the other end into my tv's audio input...go into the tv menu...select the HDMI imput you plugged into, and select the audio input to On and I was good to go...audio and video...you could also plug your s-jack into your home theater or something as well...hope this helps...Larry

So I loaned my phone to my brother for a week, who decided to "help me out" and flash a new ROM onto my SG2 since the SKYICS I was running apparently wasn't the latest and greatest. He tells me that he used an AOKP ROM from the i9100 forum, but I wouldn't know as it now fails to boot. The battery is fully charged, but I get nothing from it...no recovery, no download mode, not even a backlit black screen.

So before I toss this thing, is it recoverable at all? If not, is anyone interested in picking it up for parts? Besides the whole no booting thing, it's in excellent shape ;p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
Well it sounds like you have a skyrocket so why dont you head on over to the i727 section? Also yell at your brother. He flashed a rom that was definitely not for your phone, on your phone. Or if it is a cover up yell at yourself :p.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jaii:

Today I was browsing the Google Play Store for apps to install on my new Galaxy Tab 2 7", but after a while of downloading and installing I've been greeted with the wonderful "Insufficient Storage Available" error. The weird thing is that my extsdcard has 12gb+ of free space and my internal memory has 4gb+ to use. I've cleared my cache and fixed permissions in CWM Recovery but nothing has worked. I'm currently running CM10 Nightly build for 12-14-12 and that was my first ROM installed on this device. I'm also running the corresponding CM10 kernel.

How did you get that to work? I tried setting the 'Lock timer' in 'Lock screen' under system settings to various settings other than 'immediately' as well as 'power button instantly locks' to on or off to no avail. All that happens is when I turn the phone on, it just immediately shows the app I recently had open.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
The Holo lock screen shows for me, just wait a few seconds and it should be there. If i do too quickly, then it just gives me my app too lol.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] pjsnyc:
It's possible we are describing two different use case scenarios. Do you have 'enable security lock' enabled in holo locker settings?

I would like it so that I can specify a lock timer in system settings to only bring up the pattern unlock after a set amount of time while at the same time always bringing up the holo-locker screen when I press the power button to turn the screen on (before the pattern/pin unlock comes up). As far as I know, the built-in slide to unlock won't show when you have a pattern or pin lock enabled (non-rooted). Sounds confusing when typing it out, does what I'm trying to describe make sense to anyone?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] megamaster2:
Not sure. I just cleared all my credentials and got the swipe back.

I'm in the same dilemma too. Currently using a Note 2 and finds the screen size to be a tad too close between a Note 2 and a Nexus 7. But at the same time, I'm looking for a pure android experience.. I love the features Note 2 has but I would also love to have a completely stock experience. Best of both worlds, possible? Or not practical?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
Tough choice. I like the N7 but the Note 2 10“ is great.

10" vs 7" is main difference. Samsung sucks at updating their devices promptly but the pen feature is awesome.

I personally wouldn't like the Samsung because I like to keep up to date and get new features. Having the latest Android makes even older devices feel new. My Samsung Tab just got CM10 and it feels like a new tab.

Samsung development is probably pretty good on the Note though.

I gave up the 10" for the more pocketable smaller 7"
