I have not rooted my Kindle Fire. I also use 1Mobile Market as well as Amazon Appstore.

Would it be possible to move Swype and change the permissions using a computer?
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetroid:
No! Absolutely not! The /system partition on the internal memory of your device is not considered userspace. You need to have admin or root privileges to do that.

If you have ever used a Linux PC before, you will notice that to install an app, you have to type in

Over here, sudo asks the system admin for permission before it can make changes to the system. On Android, rooting is similar, but is easily managed through an app.

Rooting is a very simple process, and I can guarantee you that nothing will happen to your KF.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike4775:
Hey guys,

I pretty much bricked my vibrant trying to update to slimrom 4.1.2 from 4.0.4

To sum it all up quickly my phone:

-can go into download mode via taking out battery, plugging in, holding vol up/down, and replacing battery

-does not respond to any button pressing otherwise

I looked up how to debrick and all the guides say to use Odin. When I try to flash back to Eclair or something it always gets stuck somewhere in the sequence and it never shows the progress bar anymore. I did do something stupid and tried to flash the eugene 373 rom without realizing it was for the s i9000.

Anyone have any ideas?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bertacolypse:
So last year I bought this Galaxy Tablet, and I've have loved it. Problem is, after the ICS update it developed a problem.

I would get a red x over my battery icon and the recharge rate would drop dramatically. After dealing with the foreign customer service crew, repeating my story about 5 times, I was finally allow to send the tablet back to Samsung for a repair. Two weeks went by, and finally I got my tablet back. First thing I did was plug it into my dock station.

Red X over the battery.

Took the tablet to Best Buy thinking perhaps my cable was bad, but still, red x over the battery.

Called Samsung again, foreign customer service is awesome, I had the guy inform me that this issue is a normal issue and not something Samsung delt with. Really? If it's not something Samsung deals with why did they repair it the first time.

So I told him if they were not going to stand behind their product that I'd just revert it back to the Gingerbread OS, to which I was informed I couldn't do. LOL.

I never did get an answer to what Samsung did with my tablet while they had it.

So after finally dealing with two other Foreign correspondents, I finally was able to send my tablet back to Samsung for round 2 of repairs. This time it appeared that they replaced the 30 pin input jack, something I found to cost a couple hundred dollars to buy outright, and received my tablet back about a week later. This was of course after the warranty ran out and they tried to back out of the repair completely.

So the tablet arrived, plugged it back into my dock.

RED X ON THE BATTERY.

Seriously? I mean wth did they do to my tablet while it was there? So this time, I called them again, and they have decided to give me a full refund of my Purchase.

So after a year, I'll be getting 500 bucks back.

Bottom line, don't deal with the foreign crew, ask for executive customer service. That will get you to the Americans, who actually make a valid effort to help.

I wasted a ton of time dealing with those guys.

Hi everyone,

My GS2 Skyrocket was working perfectly fine till decided to do a battery pull out of habit (like I used to do with my Crackberry back in the day).

However, the phone simply won't turn on and only vibrates when plugged to AC or computer. So I tried a couple of longer battery pulls which didn't do anything. Do I need to run to the local Rogers/Fido store to purchase an OEM battery ASAP? Please help me out ASAP!

Thank you very muchin advance.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kingrat:
A little background - I was running Shostock2 6.2 everything worked except GPS (don't know why) and I installed our new BYOD solution for work (Lotus Traveler) and I had to encrypt my phone, etc to read my work emails on my own phone. Everything worked and no problems.

I was wanting to upgrade my phone to the New ShoStock3 v1.4 and using CWM it installs and reboots and asked for a password. This is after I did factory reset and wipe everything. I also runt he wipe scripts but some how the encryption remains.

If I enter the password the phone just hangs and never starts so I end up restoring it with my nandoid backup and it works fine.

so the next thing I did was use Odin to install a clean ICS which works and it will boot up fine so I thought I was out of the woods and I try to installed Shostock and I get the password thing again and the same issue occurs.

does anyone know why one rom does this and the other doesnt?

I search the forum a dozen or so times and found out I need to use adb/fastboot to reformat the areas that CWM can't access since it is encrypted. They poster gave this example below:

fastboot flash boot boot.img

fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

fastboot flash userdata userdata.img

fastboot erase cache

My question is where do I get these files from? can I extract them from a CWM rom or is there another way?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 122ninjas:
He is saying that we don't have fastboot so none of what you are saying is possible. Also have you flashed back to sho2, removed encryption and then flashed?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kingrat:
since then it wont allow me to recover using the backup.

additionally before when I tried to decrypt and removed all the software it would still would not work.

I tried all the obvious things..

anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Usuallly, you can get around the encryption by entering the wrong password continuously until the phone bypasses the encryption. If I remember correctly, I think it takes 5 times. After you get it booted, it should be ok. Try that and see if it helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] kingrat:
When I do this it just reboots and goes again and again..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
OK. Still on ShoStock3, enter recovery and perform a wipe data/factory reset. When you get the password request, then follow the above instructions until the wipe goes through, then it should boot. I think.

Hi! :) I am new to making Nadroid backups. Yesterday, I could've swore my /blobs folder was about 3GB. Today, when I made another Nandroid and it was at 6GB.

I'm on the dedup method, so my /blobs folder shouldn't be increasing. I also tried "free unused backup data" and still at 6GB.

Here's my storage usage, attached. Am I in the right ballpark or is something odd here?

P.S. If anyone has a Nandroid backup management system, let me know! I keep jumping between CWM Recovery to make them and then to Android to fix all the things CWM Recovery does wrong (like the date-for-the-file-name; it's not 1970 and the month/day/time are all incorrect) and can't do (like viewing the backups, renaming the backups, uploading the backups to cloud storage).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
My blobs folder at one point was at 4gig. I deleted all my backups except for two. Went into cwm and selected free space under backup/restore and brought it down to 1.01gig.

Mind you the only backup I care about (rooted, stock with TW) is 1.8gig but I have that on external and on my computer just in case.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ikjadoon:
Hmmm...that may be it: this new backup required new blobs for whatever reason. :( Let me figure out a way to restore SystemUI and SecSettings to stock and then maybe delete those early backups...

How much space have you used,by chance, on the internal SD card?

~Ibrahim~
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ77:
the blobs folder continues to grow with each backup. the only time it would decrease is you delete a backup then clear unused data after booting to recovery.

this blobs folder will drive your media scanner CRAZY.

my suggestion is to boot into recovery, set the backup type to .tar rather than the default .dup. This unfortunately will cause each backup to take up approx 1.5g, but that is an incredible reduction in indvidual files for the media scanner to scan. but, thats what ext sd cards are for :p

after making this change, if you have .dup backups you want to convert to .tar, you will have to restore each then backup again.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Hi all,

One of the things I have found challenging when trying to write on my NOTE II is that I could never get a comfortable position to rest my wrist so that i could write comfortably for long periods of time.

Anyway it occurred to me to pull out my old mousepad that has a raised wrist support and it is AWESOME. Just place the Note II on the mousepad so it doesn't slide, rest your wrist on the raised padded support and write away. Another benefit is that since the Note II doesn't slide around on the mousepad I can write one-handed without holding the phone still. My handwriting is much improved and my hand doesn't cramp up. I also find I'm not getting random annoying button touches with my palm.

Here is the pad I use. Pick one up at Bestbuy for $10.
