Thanks for your response.

I used this method I found with search and it worked. Meant that I had to buy Titanium Backup, but it did not matter, I was so happy to get it fixed.

Hi guys, I was wondering how to convert from CWM 5.0.2.7 to the latest version of TWRP. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cricketAC:
Go to dev section. Go to TWRP 2.3.3.0 thread. Download the .zip file in the OP. Flash it when you are in CWM.

You did the impossible and now you will always go into TWRP.

Hey hey hey yuyuyuyu1 why not thank cricketAC he gave you the same answer as LoopDogg... that aint right! His answer is 100% correct only thing he did not do is hold your hand with a link. No disrespect to LoopDogg at all.

A little research and reading and in any recovery thread would of given you the answer and too me its so much more gratifying when you figure stuff out for yourself and honestly going from one recovery to another is as simple if not simpler than flashing a rom. Remember though you can not restore from another recovery...

I'm planning to replace CWR with TWRP and ROM Manager with GooManager. After I install GooManager and TWRP, will I need to manually delete the backups made by CWR (blobs etc.)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Koragg618:
Yes, if you want space on your internal storage (or wherever you're storing them). Better off deleting them because they're not compatible anyways.

Just delete the clockwork folder in your internal storage or SD card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xR4ND0Mx:
So is Twrp actually the better recovery to use as apposed to cwm?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] scifan:
I've personally found TWRP to be more consistent than CWM's touch interface... (use it on ~ 3 devices a this point... T989, T999, and hp touchpad..)

Works pretty well...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
It's all up to preference honestly. I haven't had any issues with all the available recoveries but I prefer CWM 5.0.2.7 because of the Darkside scripts. (They were made specifically for CWM 5.0.2.7, but also work with TWRP last time I checked.) Never had an issue with the recovery and all the ROMs I've flashed have all worked perfectly well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] yudanjah:
Good advice re: deleting CWM

I tried to flash a CWM recovery (not realizing it was a CWM recovery) with TWRP, and it was a mess.

I agree re: figuring it out for yourself. (I de-bricked my KF2 yesterday, thanks to a Xubuntu - Adb tutorial.)

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluPhant:
Hey Nexus 7 peeps!

Santa Claus brought my kids (7 & 8yrs old) N7 tablets for Christmas. I've been researching alternatives for locking them down, and haven't found anything (yet) that really meets the needs. For reference, I've setup the kids Windows 7 PC with Microsoft Family Safety & Security & about a thousand group policies. Given all that I have no worries right now leaving them with the PC with minimal supervision. They use chrome and I have it setup to use the Microsoft FSS site to do any websearches they do.

So.. I'd like to do something similar with their tablets. I have about 3 days before they come back from their grandparents house to get these things configured. I'm currently setup as the "owner" and my kids have their own users setup. For the moment, they are hooked up to my google account. I'm not adverse to changing that, but want to figure out what the options are first.

Heres my thoughts on what they should have:

Chrome, only if I can put some kind of filtering on. Not opposed to OpenDNS (router is setup with DD-WRT already). I'm not obsessed with allowing chrome (or web browser access) right now.

Play store hidden or disabled. I've required a pin for purchase & in-game purchase, which is fine for now but not ideal.

Google now/etc fine if some parental controls can be added.

Email available only to/from people on parent managed contact list, or disabled completely.

Prefer to have a launcher that has a subset of all available apps, and perhaps drawer restrictions/etc

I'm totally not opposed to rooting or whatever would help with this, or even installing CM10 or something if it would help.

I feel like I must be missing something. All of this seems so very basic to me, yet I've not yet found what I'm looking for. There must be other people who got N7s for kids, and want to have a little bit of parental control over whats going on here. I'm looking for recommendations on how to proceed.

Thanks in advance, appreciate any advice offered.

http://www.wikihow.com/Block-Porn-on-Android

This is to get you started, I haven't done much other research.

check out this post of mine: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=35197028&postcount=2

OP was asking whether create a separate account for her daughter or not.

And answers to your specific questions:

- Chrome doesn't support any plugins, there are system-wide apps that filter content (probably root required)

- disable it with link2sd or any app that handles apps, nova launcher (and many others) can hide apps from app drawer, its still there, just not in the drawer. (though with filtering, i dont know why you would disable play store, with no credit card its harmless)

- I don't really understand what you mean, but google search does have filtering.

- either remove gmail/email completely, or filter emails in gmail filter settings (sth like anything not from dad, mom, relatives, directly remove. Can be done with no problems, the same way you would handle labels in gmail)

- any aftermarket launcher pretty much. check nova, apex (those are built on stock ics/jb launchers) both enable to hide apps from drawer, but everything can be reset with some tinkering. Google for some kid launchers or sth, I'm sure there is stuff.

I think you're panicking too much to be honest. Its not a gsm device, it doesnt send txts, so you will not get a 100$ bill at the end of the month, apps in play store are safe with filtering (I'm pretty sure you can lock that too), and if they're not tech savvy they shouldn't find their way around your little tricks, but don't underestimate them, kids are very smart, and just may surpass you sooner then you know.

If you have to set so many restrictions on devices, you shouldn't have gotten them in the first place, rather get nintendo DS or PSP.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluPhant:
Awesome, thanks for the advice. I'm looking through your recommendations now. This is my first experience with "Real" jellybean.... I've been using a seriously hacked CM10 for my Droid X2. So this is the first time I've had the opportunity do deal with mutliple users. The cool thing I've found is that apps can be disabled per-user, which makes things a lot easier. Many of the apps that I dont really want them to have, I've just disabled and all seems to be well. I signed them both up with their own Gmail accounts, and I'll monitor that on my own.

My kids are definitely tech savvy, I'm an application developer & generally a white-hat hacker; some of that has rubbed off on them. I think everything is cool now, your point about the google store w/o credit card is totally valid, and I hadn't even considered that. Given that, I've setup restrictions on content from store, content in chrome, and content in youtube. I still want to do a little research on content control in Chrome (plus it will give me a valid excuse to root it, everydamnthing in my house needs to be hacked in some way :good:)

It may well be that I've panicked too much. Its just that the windows setup is so completely perfect, that I'd like it to be on par. I trust my kids, but only so far. My elder has a form of autism that complicates discussions about what to/not to do.

Appreciate your recommendations!

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toidimaet:
Quite sure the play store got an update recently that requires the account password when attempting to buy any pay apps. It does on mine here anyway. just checked my sons stock tablet and it looks like Google have finally got their act together and are using server side authentication for purchases.

Oh and if you do get the tablets rooted this little program is a must

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fivehellions.android.muappshare

Allows you to share and control apps between user accounts on same tablet. I use it to let my son play my paid games whilst restricting him from using my account.

Cheers Danny
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hawaiizach:
I know that go launcher allows you to hide apps, and you can use a password program to restrict access to the go launcher settings. Just my 2¢.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BluPhant:
Thanks for the appshare. That is brilliant. Haven't used it yet, but I'm certain I will. Both are now rooted w/ CWM installed. For now I'm going to leave them with stock browser.... at 7 & 8 they're not yet actively searching for things they shouldnt be. I'll address that as it comes, but I'm way glad I rooted them now, as unlocking kills user data.

My wife is an Apple junkie (yes, yes, you can save the comments) but even she was impressed with the 4.2 ability to switch users, a feature starkly missing from iThings. I explained that it was a decision brought down by the Ghost Of Steve Jobs, and not an oversight.

End of the day... getting very close to having them configured properly, and none too soon. The kidlets return tomorrow afternoon from grandparents.... :)

Sorry it took me so long to post and you have set up the tablet, but here's what i did for my daughter's N7:

I set her up with her own Gmail account. Rooted and unlocked the N7 and set it up as hers.

I added her account to my N7 so i can see activity etc. Case, screen protector and stylus.

APPS:

Adfree of course

Avast! In case it is ever lost, & some nice anti virus etc

Smart App Protector - password protect any app....so although I got her her own email address, she can't read, or send email without password...you can lock down the browser too, which I did, because she has games with links that will open a browser. THIS app is awesome.

Parent Dashboard, because it has some fun videos and apps -

I toyed with this being her desktop for a bit but too restrictive - I do like the ability to send her video messages (shared custody).

Skype so we can video chat (only for contacts, natch).

I don't have a credit card attached to her account, but if she wants to buy, I can do a couple things...add it on my N7, buy add to her wishlist them she can d/l on her. Our i can add cc and buy on hers and remove cc.

I think that's about everything and let her go to town.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
I noticed (unless it was my imagination) 2 different colors for my notification led (which I was pleasantly surprised to find), Gmail is like a light blue, and I think it was fb that was regular blue, so is there an app to set the led color for each app?

Or at least see all the colors it can display?
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EDNYLaw:
You can use LightFlow which allows you to control the notifications (light, sound, vibration) for a ridiculous amount of apps. Works perfectly on the Nexus 10, I've used it on my Galaxy Nexus forever. It's a phenomenal app. That's the lite version, there's also a pay version which unlocks more features.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike02vr6:
+1 for lightflow, I use it on my phone its great. Trying it for my N10
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daLareid:
I'm pretty sure some apps have built in customization for the led color, I've seen it in the facebook and facebook messenger app.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EDNYLaw:
It works very well. Prior to configuring lightflow notifications were not illuminating the LED. After setting up lightflow all is as it should be.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mvmacd:
I looked in the Facebook settings but all it had was a toggle to enable notification light, no to change the color.

lol.. well I had found this app before starting this thread, however it seemed like it was messed up because it kept showing a light when I had no notifications. Turns out it was "No signal," and after disabling everything in Light Flow, I can test the led for colors. :)

I suppose you cannot use any other apps that Light Flow doesn't have? for example Facebook or Google Voice? I don't see any way to add an app. oh well.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
Are you using the lite version. Facebook and GV are there for me on the paid version
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EDNYLaw:
You can't add programs but the paid version has like over 300 different apps I think. Well worth the dollar or two. I use it for Google Voice on both my N10 and GNex and it works perfectly. If it's not there it's likely due to being the lite version as mentioned above.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daLareid:
That's odd, my phone doesn't even have led notifications support and it shows it to me in the options though lol.
[Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoyuu:

I noticed this back in LIH beta release, and it's also true now with a LJ7:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=32844247&postcount=4

If you use a Verizon roaming prl like 12121 (not roaming - Sprint 3g, roaming - Verizon 3g), and then force roaming with Roam Control, the phone battery drains very rapidly.

Here I lost nearly 30% battery under 2 hours with 6 min screen on time and 6-bar signal strength (to a Verizon 3g).

This does not happen if you use 00001.prl, which just connects to Verizon 3g towers by default. The battery drain under those condition is roughly the same as with a good signal on Sprint.

Does anyone else experience this?

How do you fix this?

Hi all, I've been doing searching to find a solution to this and frankly I am overwhelmed. I am very good with computers, but technical cellphone jargon confuses me since I don't know what much of it means (I have never been into cellphone modding or hacking).

Is it possible to unlock my Verizon DROID Razr? I bought it as part of a 2 year contract, am looking to drop the contract and switch to a less expensive provider. The model number is MOTXT912-16, if you need any other details just let me know and I will provide them. I am also located in the USA.

If it is possible to unlock this Verizon phone (so I can insert a T-Mobile SIM for example) I'd like to know how the general process works, and where I can find a guide. This information will be very helpful to me, because I've been reading some people that say its possible, and others say it isn't. Thanks! :laugh:
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stu15:
So Google Now is only available on Jelly Bean devices, and now iOS. However I thought I would try a JB Xperia ROM, which recognizes my device as been an Arc S, which makes Google say 'incompatible' when you go onto Google search app / Google Now.

So even with JellyBean it won't allow official updating on this and similar devices, so 2 questions;

Is Google Now worth having if it constantly says 'update' at the top of the feed? (it's annoying seeing it)

How are developers for 2011 Xperia devices going to bypass this, having to update their ROM just for a new Google update? Or use a non official Xperia ROM, or use an official Xperia ROM from the upcoming devices?

I know it sounds lame but I would consider changing phones because of annoyances like this, which isn't what I want.

Is this happen because I didnt do any wipe or factory reset ?

Is there any way to get root in this case ?
