Flashed official 4.0.4 many times and never had problem like this. I do suggest you:

1. Install custom kernel via stock recovery

2. Backup android apps.

3. do factory/data reset in custom recovery mode (power button+menu+volume up)

3. Download official 4.0.4 firmware from sammobile.com

4. Flash it via usb cable , using ODIN application.

more details for custom kernels, odin flash instruction, use search xda forum in general,development sections. More info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1075278

i have downloaded a game called nfs most wanted, the problem is i cant install it to internal sd cause its too big

app data files= 1.81GB

apk=12mb

my internal sd= 700mb/1.21gb

external sd= 7gb/14.1gb

i want it to be installed on external but how about the data files where should i place them its seperated from apk, after installing apk where should i put the app data files

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] WeRSpecialPeople:
You cannot download from the play store then. You would have to download it online somewhere to do this. Do not get a refund for the game though.

Go find the game online Download apk and SD Data. Get either GL to SD or Directory Bind (Google Directory Bind). Put sd data in external sd Android-Obb folder and install the apk. Then use GL to SD or directory bind to bind the game to that location.

bind where the files usually go and where they are. Might have to make a folder in the regular android-obb which has the name but not the obb?

New thread?

Was going to make a new thread but I found this and this is somewhat newer than all the other "app to external SD" threads.

I have the same problem. I have a 900 MB Internal memory and a 2GB Internal SD. The 2GB internal ran out so I bought a 8GB External and stuck it in. Now my problem is, How do I get the apps to get on the external? I've tried numerous app2sd apps like DroidSail App2SD and App2SD and AppMgr III (App 2 SD).

My phone is rooted and I also tried # pm setInstallLocation 2 but all I get is

[1] Killed pm setInstallLocation 2

Any help?

I have changed my firmware from 10F to 10H as I heard that it is much better. I rooted it and then reset it to factory settings and I deleted some of the bloatware. I used LG gearbox and set the CPU speed to 1000mhz on two cores and used this guide. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2048315

In additions, I installed fast dormancy toggle from here. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2021248

I charged my battery full to 100% and then unplugged it left it unattended while I went to sleep, wifi and auto sync was switched on and gps,location . My screen display is set to automatic. After 10hours 51 mins I lost 10% so it dropped from 100% to 90% I did not use any screen at that time as I was asleep. After that amount of time I used the phone went on youtube for around 30 mins as it says screen time 35 mins and so the battery dropped to 77%. I browsed the internet a bit further and still carried on youtube after another 20 mins (56 mins) the battery dropped to 68%. When the battery had dropped to 59% I roughly had around 1 hour 20 mins on automatic screen display settings but at this stage, as I used the phone more, the android system had went to the top. Sometimes when I just browse my phone, and just go on facebook and check email the battery % can drop very quickly like 1% every 3 mins, is this normal. I hardly use the screen that much. On the iphone 5 if you use the screen for like 5-6 hours browsing, playing games etc the battery would just drop to only 50%. Some people in this forum are saying that they are only loosing 10% per day, and per sleep they are only loosing like 3% if not then 0%. Is my battery normal running normal?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] -Grift-:
With stock kernel its normal.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rsabdul:
What do you mean by stock kernal?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Afro:
It's the kernel released by LG, so it's the original kernel...

"Stock kernel" means it's the standart kernel you have on your device from the beginning...

...sent with my LG Optimus 4X HD...
[LG Optimus 4X HD] rsabdul:
oryt but how cone i only get 3-4 hours of screen time on moderate usage? is that normal?
[LG Optimus 4X HD] RuedasLocas:
Looks normal to me.

Don't forget that using wi-fi, and specialy on youtube "drain" some battery. Not only

because of screen quality but also the amount of data that you "download", specialy

if you select best quality videos on your settings.

Facebook is kind of a drainer too, specialy if you have notifications ON, update for 30min. and location service ON too (activates GPS)...

I can tell you that could be better but also that could be worse... depends of what you need to be running in background or not.

What apps you need or not.

Don't believe on everything that people says... some had deleted almost all the apps, others say the battery lasts for days but, the phone spend 90% of the battery life in deep sleep...

O4X have some nice features, like high quality screen and all that cost something, that something is battery :rolleyes:

A weak network signal or several signals, that make the phone change or look for signal constantly, also contributes for battery drain...

But your battery life looks pretty normal to me :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennn:
I have a trip planned to France and need a phone and internet access that I can tether.

We have a few Sprint Nexus S's in the family and I'm thinking of picking up a GSM version just for this trip. What kind of data speeds and tethering could I expect to see with this phone in Europe? I seems to be one of the more affordable options as a spare phone I can pick up just for international travel.

Thanks.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
I would advise you to buy a nice MiFi hotspot, and buy a sim in France! I live in the Netherlands and it works like a charm when I go to Italy in my holiday! LTE will be coming in the next months in the netherlands, but I don't know if it is already available in France. look here to see if your MiFi hotspot supports the right frequencies!

have a good journey!!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svennn:
That could work also. I would just need to use VOIP to call back home for business.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jojoost:
Hmm.. Yeah, thats true. Hadnt thought about that as I'm 15 and have made about about 5 phonecalls in more than one year with my Nexus S :rolleyes: . Than you could go for the option you mentioned already
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fgumo:
If when you say you can pick one you mean buying, I wouldn't do it just for this travel. If I were you I would get a MiFi with a local SIM. If your travel is not very long I would rent, there are a few options available if you search for "rent mifi france" or things like that. It's usually quite cheap and you don't have to worry about frequencies or looking for the cheapest SIM.

BTW, there is not a lot public wifi in France, so get something.

[HTC Droid DNA] volfan22:
Pretty sure a lot of people's have come off or they ripped it off. Mine came off like a month ago so I just cut the little tab thing as far back as I could. I like it so much more without it. It's so annoying fiddling with that thing. Yes it doesn't look as uniform now but it's a lot easier to charge the phone.

[HTC Droid DNA] Jarocks:
I took mine off intentionally, it was a PITA to have to pop it in and out every time I needed to charge the device. It really serves no real practical purpose other than keeping dust out (nothing compressed air can't deal with though)

Mine came off accidently on purpose about a week after I bought the phone and life has been better because of it. :p
[HTC Droid DNA] Yankeefan144:
Mine fell off the 2nd day after I got it, which was release day. It fell off naturally but I would have ended up ripping it off anyway eventually so I didn't even try to fix it.

First time I went to charge my phone I saw that off and ripped it off myself. Those things always annoy me beyond all reason.
[HTC Droid DNA] liquidhaste:
HTC needs to read this thread. Not only do we all hate the flap, theres also a quality control issue to be assessed. For this many people to have had it just fall off naturally is embarrassing to say the least for HTC. Whoever let this idea make it to the production model made the wrong decision. I hope they don't do this again in the future.

Mine broke off last week had to cut off the excess

It did look nice w it on but now I don't have to mess with it anymore
[HTC Droid DNA] bkrodgers:
For those who have taken it off or have had it fall off, does it look clean with it out? That is, does it come out all the way or does it leave a little bit behind?
[Android General] Draygon:
Hello,

With the newest Google Chrome beta, we sadly still (and probably won't ever) have the feature to add a custom search engine to Google Chrome for Android.

I was looking for a possibility and got it working, with a little problem (mentioned at 6.) someone here hopefully is able to fix.

Now, let the tutorial begin:

What you need:

- Rooted Phone

- File Explorer which is able to get root access, for example: Solid Explorer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...plorer&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

- Latest Google Chrome Beta for Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...biflipde&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=blog

1. Open Solid Explorer, browse to following directory and file:

"/data/data/com.chrome.beta/app_chrome/Default/Preferences"

2. Open "Preferences" with a text editor

3. Search following entries:

"last_known_google_url"

and

"last_prompted_google_url"

4. I will use DuckDuckGo as example. "https://www.duckduckgo.com/?q=" is the encrypted search string for DuckDuckGo, that's why I'll use this now.

Change from:

"last_known_google_url": "http://www.google.com/"

"last_prompted_google_url": "http://www.google.com/"

To:

"last_known_google_url": "https://www.duckduckgo.com/?q="

"last_prompted_google_url": "https://www.duckduckgo.com/?q="

5. Save it

6. Now, the problem is following:

If you enter a search string in Chrome now, it will use DuckDuckGo for it. That's what we wanted, right?

The search you did for example is "Test123"

But DuckDuckGo is searching for "search?q=Test123"

Google Chrome puts a "search?q=" in front of your search.

Could someone please tell me how to fix this? I'll add it in front to the thread here then and we'll have a solution for our custom search engine in Google Chrome for Android! :)
[Android General] Draygon:
Is no one interested in this? :(
[Android General] kwurky:
Just to show my interest, I'm replying to this thread. I want to use DDG as my default as well. I dislike how Google continuously redirects you to the local country page when traveling. Also the fact that SSL searches on Google are blocked in countries that shall not be named.

I haven't tested what you wrote but I'll try it the next chance I get.
[Android General] Draygon:
Nice to see there is some interest! ;)

Hopefully we'll be able to fix the problem at number 6. in my HowTo.
[Android General] Draygon:
BUMP

Isn't anyone else interested?
[Android General] Draygon:
BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP BUMP

Anyone else here?

:D

:laugh:

:eek:
[Android General] kwurky:
Awfully quiet in here. Apparently everyone on XDA using Chrome is satisfied using Google search...of course having options are preferable. At least desktop Chrome allows the default to be changed to a third party engine of our choosing. What gives Google?
[Android General] Draygon:
BUMP again... :crying:
[Android General] phoenyx:
Thanks for the fix. I had downloaded chrome beta in another country and it was stuck using the Google site for that country.
[Android General] Kremata:
This is the reason i'm not using Chrome, I'm Canadian but I live in China and Chrome keeps redirecting to Honk Kong (freaking annoying). I tried again from the Philippines but now it's redirecting to Php. I tried your solution but it doesn't work. I really think this is a MUST from a web browser. With the other browser I just set my first page to be www.google.com/ncr but we cant even set the fisrt page in Chrome.
[Android General] Draygon:
I still don't have a solution for this. :(

We have the newest chrome beta 26 now, also a stable version which got a great update so far, but still no possibility for a custom search engine.

Please, is someone able to find a solution for this? I want my duckduckgo integrated into chrome for android. :(
[Android General] kwurky:
Me too. Currently currently in China and being redirected to HK site. Using that NCR trick is the only way. Of course after awhile have to do it again. But this happens on desktop as well so I think it's generally a cookie/time limit problem.

BTW what browser do you use? The cool thing about Chrome right now is you can turn on proxying using Google's servers and you can visit banned websites (e.g. nytimes, etc) over plain http only. Saves time sometimes instead of connecting to VPN for a quick lookup.
[Android General] steford:
Could you perhaps persuade ddg to implement this? If a query string is included then it should search for that instead of the final directory they currently search on.
[Android General] mtauscher@googlemail.com:
new here, sorry cannot post links....

Change the last_known_google_url" to: "https:// w w w . d u c k d u c k g o . c o m / " and not to last_known_google_url": " h t t p s : / / w w w . d u c k d u c k g o . c o m / ?q="
[Android General] lesiki:
Yes, I am very interested in this. I've been using Firefox for a long time, but it has become very buggy and crashy, and I miss DuckDuckGo on Chrome. I've read somewhere that Chrome's source is available somewhere, I will try to download it tomorrow and change some stuff regarding the search.
[Android General] joelstitch:
I am trying to do it with StartPage.com but instead of searching it just goes to the mobile page and it doesn't even adds he search on the pages search bar.
[Android General] crazydip:
I would very much appreciate this feature as well. Wanted to use DuckDuckGo in Chrome Android and though I was blind, but I guess Chrome for Android does not let you use any custom search engine (and I'm sure Google is doing anything they can to not add it as an option).

Sorry for necromancing the thread, but it's still a very important issue IMO.
[Android General] rickriego:
sounds like it would work to me. but i don't know a thing about how all that works. id try it tho
[Android General] oogrin:
To prevent Chrome from jumping to url of countries you don't want, you can do the following "fix".

1. Go to google.com/ncr

2. Search something, whatever... Test123

3. Kill the app from recents

4. Clear cache

5. Search from the ssearch bar

6. Chrome will ask you if you want to continue using google.com as your default search site or the stupid dot something one...

About the change of search engine, I'm here for that too :)
[Android General] owenjm:
Easy to fix:

"last_known_google_url": "https://www.duckduckgo.com/&"
"last_prompted_google_url": "https://www.duckduckgo.com/&"

Problem was that duckduckgo.com assumes the un-escaped word "search" added by chrome is the search term -- so we turn it into a useless option by adding the "&". Once this is done, duckduckgo correctly looks for the &q string.

Works for me on beta 36.0.1985.36 :)
[Android General] Demonyc:
Worked perfectly for me! Smart thinking, my man.
[Android General] 7175:
Really glad I found this thread. This makes chrome a usable browser for me. I appreciate the performance of chrome but didn't like being stuck with the stock search engines. Thanks a bunch OP and owenjm.

For anyone interested, here's some code you can copy and paste into terminal emulator to change the search engine to duckduckgo.

p='/data/data/com.chrome.beta/app_chrome/Default/Preferences'
awk '/last_known_google_url/ {sub(/google.com\//,"duckduckgo.com/\\&")}; {print}' ${p} > $p.bak
awk '/last_prompted_google_url/ {sub(/google.com\//,"duckduckgo.com/\\&")}; {print}' ${p}.bak > ${p}

---------- Post added at 05:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:20 PM ----------

Anyone know how to do this on current Chrome/Chrome Beta builds? This technique no longer works, the strings "last_known_google_url" and "last_prompted_google_url" are no longer in the Preferences file, or in any of the other files I could find within /data/data/com.chrome.beta/
[Android General] mwilliaams:
2017 update

Greetings from 2017! I stumbled upon this thread a few days ago because I, too, wanted to use a different search engine on chrome for android. I was partly motivated by Google's horrible AMP ruining my browsing experience. AMP pages are completely unusable on my Nexus 5x. I can't scroll! Wtf Google! Anyway, still, in 2017, it is not possible for the user to add a custom search engine to the browser. In fact, there are only a handful of options to choose from (Google, Ask, Aol, Bing, Yahoo, in United States). The old Preferences file hack no longer works. Well, I didn't want to give up here, so I pulled the Chromium code and figured it out.

What Google did here is actually rather interesting. There are many more than just the five search engines listed above built into the browser. I counted something like fifty, including different languages (eg Yahoo USA, Yahoo France). I guess Google wanted to make things simple for the user (and hard for people who like to customize) by just pulling a handful of search engines based on the country and language of the phone/user. For the USA, the five listed above are "prepopulated" into the search engines available for the user to choose from and the rest are not shown in the UI. For the curious, DuckDuckGo is not present at all among the search engines.

So I added it! I modified a few files and got DuckDuckGo working for search in Chromium 58 for Android. I couldn't find a search suggestions service from DuckDuckGo (saw ddgg.nfriedly.com, but it didn't work), so I incorporated Bing's suggestions service. Why Bing? In the code, Google's suggestions setup is really complicated, whereas Bing's was a simple URL. I compared some search suggestion results from Bing and Google and Bing seemed adequate. So when you start a search you get suggestions from Bing, and the search is completed on DuckDuckGo.

This was a good deal of time and effort (took forever to set up the development environment and around 4 hours to compile Chromium the first time), and I feel accomplished, but sadly I won't be using what I have built. For some reason the Chromium build won't let me sign in to sync with my Google account on my phone. Maybe because the build isn't signed or whatever. I also realized that I still like Google search results better than DDG. I'll just have to go to DDG whenever Google is giving me AMP pages.

But you guys can use it if you really want DDG in Chrome on Android. If anyone sees this, let me know if you think I should try submitting the code to the Chromium project to see if we can get DDG into people's browsers everywhere! If anyone wants to know more about the specific changes I made in the code, let me know.

Here's a link to the APK from my Dropbox. Scan it for malware if you want.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/vr95hm2b0r1lmq8/ChromePublic.apk?dl=0

Until next time, XDA
[Android General] Racer159:
I've been waiting for this!

This is awesome! Thank you for putting this together, and yes if you can submitting the code to the Chromium project would be great as well! I don't sync settings with chrome, so I can't really test that, but for everything else, that APK works like a charm. :)
