[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] phnord:
I'd like to have a better understanding of the full memory / software / firmware / etc. contents of my Galaxy Note. My understanding is as follows:

There's an internal and external SD card (the latter of which is the 16 GB MicroSD I installed). The contents of both of these are accessible to me when I connect the phone to my computer via the USB mass storage mode, in a fully readable / writeable fashion.

However, there's also some other memory - NAND or something of that nature - to which the firmware is flashed. This is not as easily accessible.

The android structures all of these memory areas into an internal file system, with various parts existing in different directories. /sdcard is the internal SD card, /sdcard/exernal_sd is the external SD card. Everything that is not within the /sdcard top-level directory exists somewhere in the NAND... or something.

----

So, assuming all of that is correct - then I have a few questions:

Where on the phone is everything that is NOT in the sdcard directory stored? Is there an additional memory chip in there? Is that what the NAND is?

On the Storage screen, it is broken down into there categories: Device Memory (1.97 GB Total space), USB Storage (10.84 GB) and SD card (14.83 GB). Is the NAND this 1.97 GB "Device Memory" section?

What about the custom firmware I installed - the ROM? Where is that located? Is it on the NAND?

What about the TWRP Recovery?

And what is a "bootloader"? Does it play into all of this?

It would be really helpful to have a clearer understanding of these general concepts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] studacris:
The entire internal nand is 16gb.

The "rest of the stuff" is up a folder, in the root directory.

You need root access to access to the root directory funny enough.

The firmware is installed in the /system directory, so was the stock Rom, when you flashed you formatted and overwrote that partition.

Those are pretty much all I'm gonna answer, all of this very beginner and can be found In a plethora of places with little effort.

And please... don't call storage memory, they are different. Memory is ram.

I wish that was the worst I got. I have the insurance, just not the hundred bucks to send it off.
[RAZR HD General] FaDeGFX:
Doesnt make sense, you have insurance but you need money to send it???? when you buy insurance, all you do is just phone the company and ship it.
[RAZR HD General] christian5916:
That's warranty my friend, insurance is for external damage, robbery or lost and you as the customer have to pay a for a new one, in my case $125.00 bucks would get me a new RazrHD an S3 or a Note2 cause they cost the same without contract $649.99
[RAZR HD General] wshader:
They give you that option? Thought it was the same make and model.

I've got one of those bulky otter boxes on my HD, I've seen it fall from my pocket half a dozen times and once from the second story of a home - it bounced off the garage roof and landed (thankfully) in the neighbor's bushes. Top left corner of the rubber shell has a little rough spot from bouncing off the shingles, but the phone's still spotless.

I was wondering if there was a way to disable the lock screen.

I find it too many steps to see who called or texted.

Thanks
[Nokia Lumia 920] schettj:
No, all phones made after 2007 have lock screens. I find I can swipe up with the thumb as I bring the phone up from my pocket in about 0.01 seconds.
[Nokia Lumia 920] donnaw:
Personally I love having a lock screen. If you ever had a phone without one you would too. Couldn't count how many times I 'butt' dialed before lock screens were implemented. In fact the first phone I ever flashed was to get a lock screen.

Oh those were the days!

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] AnonFBI:
Hello for everyone, Today we going to get Whatsapp in our Beast Tablet Google Nexus 7 (tested WIFI VERSION AND 3G, ALSO WORK WITH ANY TABLET HAVING ANDROID!)

I was very busy developing and cooking roms for allwinner a13 tablets

THIS HOWTO IS FOR PEOPLE WHO WANNA INSTALL WHATSAPP IN THE TABLET

DO YOU NEED: 1 ANDROID SMARTPHONE AND WHATSAPP INSTALLED AND UPDATED!

REMEMBER: YOU CAN ONLY HAVE ONE INSTALLATION OF WHATSAPP BY PHONE NUMBER, IF YOU WANNA USE WHATSAPP ONLY IN YOUR TABLET, PLEASE UNINSTALL WHATSAPP ON DEVICES

USING YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

This a new method to start to get working whatsapp in our tablet.

1. Install "Carbon backup" APK from play store on your android smartphone and on your tablet.

2. Take a back up of whatsapp from your smartphone and select the option to save it on your external SD card.

3. Now move to your tablet. Take a backup of any app. In my case, I took the back up of Temple Run2 and select to save the back up in your external SD card.

(This is mainly done to create the Carbon backup folder structure.)

4. The back up would be available under /ext_sd_card/carbon/

5. Now back to your smartphone

Copy the complete carbon folder under /ext_sd_card/carbon/ and upload it some where. (You can use some file manager like EXexplorer to do this for you)

6. Moving to your tablet, download the carbon folder you uploaded in your tablet and replace with the one that is already existing on your external SD card.

7. Open Carbon application and restore WhatsApp

8. It will ask you to install whatsapp from play store.

Install WhatsApp to the tablet!

9. Select restore option again and restore WhatsApp data

10. Open WhatsApp with the same state as you left it on your smart phone. (IF YOU HAVE MESSAGES THERE, THEY WILL BE IN TABLET TOO)

If you want to use a different number on your tablet, then follow the below steps after Step 11.

Send one or two messages to your friends.

11. Uninstall whatsapp and install it again.

12. Restore the back up again from carbon app.

13. Open Whatsapp, you will be asked to verify your number.

14. Enter your new number and select Ok. Please make sure that the new number is in working state i.e. the SIM card is inserted into a phone and can receive SMS/call

15. Whatsapp will send the verification code to your new number.

16. Wait for sometime and you will get the prompt on your tablet to enter the verification code.

17. Enter it and enjoy

Easy method to import contacts:

1. Import the contacts from Outlook to a CSV file.

2. Login to Gmail and imported the CSV file.

3. Login to Gmail in your tablet and contacts will be synchronised!

Hai, Im from Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 P3110 Wifi user. I search for how to install WhatsApp in WiFi only tablet and guess what??? I TOTALLY works. A zillion thanksto you :good:

BTW, for those who got 6 digit authorization code that means you have installed the wrong version on the BlueStacks. The WhatsApp version on BlueStacks and on your tablet must be SAME.

Hope thread starter will update his OP since Im also thought just download it from somewhere else to be use in BlueStacks but no, you must installed the same version.

Before this I use the latest version which is 6 code, appguraded but you cant enter your code there. But this method totally works. Now I have Viber and WhatsApp, hey who need a simcard? Thank you so much AnonFBI

You must setup whatsapp first in bluestacks and wait SMS 3-digit code in your phone numbers

if that do not work use call verification and save the 3-digit listened in the call! (please be patient sometime take more time to get sms or call verification)
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] yanive:
I passed again your instructions and I connected to the Internet...

I just do not get the message

One last question which I forgot to ask... Now that WhatsApp works, should I keep AppGuard installed on the tablet and Blue Stacks on the laptop or I can uninstall them? I have unchecked the auto-update function, so I guess it will work without any risks?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] mad_vtak:
I installed whats up using titanium back up from my phoen and installed the restore. Only thing bad about this is that sometimes you will get messages to either tablet or phone but not both at the same time :o
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] arik100:
this isn't working.

when i tried to install the whatsapp apk u posted , it told me that the version is too old (on pc) then i tried to install it while downloading the apk from whatsapp site , installed on tablet , and it worked BUT , it disconnected the whatsapp from my cellphone.

so im asking, is it possible to use whatsapp on cellphone and tablet with the same number?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] knuckles1978:
Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

Yes. That's what I've done for ages. Have it working on phone, titanium backup app+data, upload to dropbox, download to tablet, restore. Try and remember to FC on the device you're not using, or sometimes it will screw up.

Not a problem though, if it does then all you need to do is restore the backup again on the device it screwed up on.

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

The issue is with people installing whatsapp on grouper..
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Montana357:
Working method.!!! 02/19/2013

After All this method is working yet but with a few steps more today 02/19/2013:

i do this

1- with titanium backup make the backup of the whats app on my phone (Galaxy S2 epic 4g)

2- uploaded the 3 file made from the titanium folder to my dropbox and then downloaded to my nexus 7

3- restored the app from the backup already maid with the titanium backup (at this step i try to open the app but it where stuck into the update phone process, same as installing from zero)

4- with the Appguard app secure the whatsapp and at the end of the process you can choose the permissions on the phone and under the Phone Calls deselect "read phone status and identity" (first tricky move).

5- then as common users of appgard know during his process all the data is wiped from the app, now you just go to the titanium backup and restore only the data of the app. (second and last tricky move)

i hope this help, tomorrow if i got time i can make a full howto with screens of all. if needed just let me know.

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

@Montana

I did a fresh install of a ROM again tonight. Everything wiped apart from my sdcard, and I just did the same as what I always do,, what you quoted me, and it worked the same as it always does.

Only sometimes when whatsapp release a new version do I have to start from scratch again, install it and have it working on my phone again, and do the same. Never really had any problems with it, I don't know why some people are having great trouble with it. :what:

I have the pro version of titanium backup, so my backups are 1 file only, 'easy import' but apart from that I can't see what I'm doing differently. Have never had the need for appguard though...
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] arik100:
where's the point in that? the whatsapp is just connected to another number...

we want it to be attached to the same number as your phone...

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

Can you sync WhatsApp on both devices?
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Montana357:
i dont know but all of those instructions dont work for me, and even more ppl, in me case i have noted that the app under the current version was showing the device warning, then using the appguard i pass it, and get my phon data of the app on it was fully working.

with other person's device can be the version they are using. i just do it on the current version and works, and i have quoted you because your way was the one i tried and give me the intuition to do the steps with the app guard.

---------- Post added at 01:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:54 PM ----------

try using the last version. and do the process again.

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

The only time that the way I do it doesn't work is when they update the version. Then I just start from scratch, get it working on the phone again, and make a new backup..?? Weird

Good you managed to get it working in the end though :highfive:

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

If whatsapp don't allow two devices with same number or sync conversations. Why use the same phone number? I'm using another number, where I don't use whatsapp. It's works like viber.

Even allows whatsapp+ updates.

can't i do this without rooting my device ???
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] knuckles1978:
Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

Don't think so, you need to be rooted for all features of titanium backup i think. You said you tried my way a few posts ago, how could you have if you're not rooted? I've never had an android device not rooted lol, why would anyone want that? :P
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] burhanyusuf:

Re: [HOWTO] Install Whatsapp working On Nexus 7! [1/03/13]

Whatsapp is working without any modification on CyanogeMod 10.1, call verification works if you input you real number. SMS verification still fail.

Only works on tilapia, on grouper it complains about not supporting tablet devices.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] NLBeev:
To get whatsapp working on a wi-fi only tablet you always need 3 things:

1. Appguard to avoid the Whatsapp warning that the device is not supported

2. A copy of the directory: data\data\com.whatsapp from a working Whatsapp on a 3G device (smartphone).

3. A copy of the directory Whatsapp (sdcard) from the same smartphone.

To copy data\data\com.whatsapp root-access is needed on 3G device (phone) and tablet.

When one of the above mentioned is not present, Whatsapp will not work.

Alternatives are possible but you have to hassle with Bluestacks as described in this thread.

Without root acces the directory data\data\com.whatsapp can possible be copied with Titatium backup.

That is also described in this thread.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] ultimatepichu:
since whatsapp is out of Beta, you can download the apk straight from their website to your device and install it. Browse to the website with your N7. And you just need another phone, with number that you keyed in as your whatsapp number on N7, to receive the sms verification.

The only problem is by setting up where you can only have one account at the same time. So if your other phone is a smart phone with whatsapp installed, then you have to choose either one.

EDIT: Oh... seems like the target audience is the Grouper. Sorry. Ignore this post. But for those who can, actually I like the newer whatsapp better than the one downloaded from store.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] virusarus:
This is for ppl who are facing issues because of blue stack, apguard or getting error messages like "tablet not supported", "it looks like your client has been modified". Please follow the below steps. I tried today and it worked perfect. No need to root your tablet. For easy understanding, I have colored the text :- Red-Things that are to be done on phone . Green-Things that are to be done on tablet

1) Install Carbon backup app from play store on your android smart phone and on your tablet. My android smart phone is rooted [it should work in non-rooted smart phone as well]

2) Take a back up of whatsapp and select the option to save it on your external SD card.

3) Now move to your tablet. Take a backup of any app. In my case, I took the back up of Temple Run2 and select to save the back up in your external SD card. This is mainly done to create the Carbon backup folder structure.

4) The back up would be available under /ext_sd_card/carbon/

5) Now back to your smart phone- copy the complete carbon folder under /ext_sd_card/carbon/ and upload it some where. You can use some file manager like EXexplorer to do this for you

6) Moving to your tablet, download the carbon folder you uploaded in your tablet and replace with the one that is already existing on your external SD card.

7) Open Carbon application and restore whatsapp

8) It will ask you to install whatsapp from play store. I would recommend you to download the apk and install it.

9) Select restore option again and restore whatsapp data

10) Now you can open whatsapp with the same state as you left it on your smart phone. I mean the messages :P

Please note : Whatsapp can be attached to a single number only, so please uninstall it on your smart phone after the above process.

If you want to use a different number on your tablet, then follow the below steps after Step 10.

Send one or two messages to your friends.

12) Uninstall whatsapp and install it again.

13) Restore the back up again from carbon app.

14) Open Whatsapp, you will be asked to verify your number.

15) Enter your new number and select Ok. Please make sure that the new number is in working state i.e. the SIM card is inserted into a phone and can receive SMS/call
