From what I understood there shouldn't be an issue flashing a international rom if I want to use tge device over seas is that correct ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] droidstyle:
long as its flashed from recovery and not odin you should be fine...however you most likely will have to modify the ril to get data working. not sure if apn edits will suffice...maybe adrynalyne can chime in on this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeAndreon:
Hello guys!

I don't know if it is the right section to post this.

I'm noob in the android development and i try to make a personal ROM (to learn something before post a ROM) based on a Jelly Bean ROM for my Mediacom 715i RK2918.

I've changed the initlogo.rle in the boot.img with success but i see at the boot of the tablet that for first it show the boot logo of the kernel and next the image that i've changed in the boot.img.

I read online and in the forum that this image is in the kernel.img but i don't found a tutorial or guide that give me some istructions about to change this logo in the kernel.img.

How i can change this image/logo in the kernel.img?

Is the some procedure of the boot.img?

My Mediacom 715i is based on a RK2918 SoC with stock kernel.

Thanks in advance :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Aternus:
Hey Guys,

I've been trying to understand why in all the JellyBean ROM that I've encountered so far there is an error message: "unzip: zip flags 1 and 8 are not supported" when I try viewing the archive in Fedora 17, or even in BusyBox, natively on the phone itself.

The ZIPs install correctly from the Recovery.

I've tried extracting it with WinRAR on windows, but after re-packing the archive and installing the newly created ROM ZIP the phone hangs. I didn't change anything at all, only extracted the original ZIP ROM and repacked.

The ROM that I've used: http://tinyw.in/YMJG

If anybody could shed some light on this I'd be really greatful :)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jwchips:
Try 7zip instead of winRAR as 7zip retains the file structure (you should use 7zip for all Cwm editing imo). I'm able to extract, modify, repackage and flash miuiandroid releases using 7zip and windows 8 (win7 will work too). Let me know how you get on!

Edit: I know you said the zip installs okay but you may want to check the md5 just to be safe :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Onlytheholy:
Hey! I have Grand Theft Auto III installed to my SD card as it seems to not crash as often and alleviates space on my internal storage. I store the shortcut for it in a folder on both my home page and app drawer called Games. Every time I restart the phone, the shortcut removes itself from the folder on my home page and puts itself outside of the same folder on my app drawer. Does anyone know why this happens, and if there's something I can do to rectify it? It's only a minor annoyance, but would be nice if I didn't have to keep putting it back in the folders every time I reboot the phone. I have since moved it back to internal storage, and it's resolved the problem, however, I would prefer it to be on my external SD!

Any help would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks

James
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WardenBerret:
I had the exact same problem, but it was Go Launcher EX who was guilty of that. This still happens to me, so i just take the folders that are created in the app drawer and drag them to home screen. Now it doesn't happen.

I say again, don't add folder by Menu button>Add>Folder instead go to appdrawer (in your case it will show folders and not apps) drag one of the folder to homscreen and voila!

Maybe this isn't the solution to your problem but as i interpreted it this should be the solution. It worked for me atleast :)

Regards.

What is the actual difference?

Obviously they are different models, but what is different. I only ask for rooting purposes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AegonTheDragon:
Not just models, completely different processors. Nothing that has to do with rooting is compatable between them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moderntech-:
Thanks for the quick reply! I will steer clear of the i9300 roms.

So I recently got a new bluetooth head unit in my car and it can utilize voice commands with my phone. Problem is, is that when I press the command button, it brings up S-voice. I then tried deleting the apk and used the command button and it brought up voice dial. Does anyone know how to make google now the default? I would love to be able to just say "call...." or "text...". I know S-voice does this but google now is 10x better at it. thanks guys.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bushako:
It really depends what you find important and what's useless. Its just for the certain few enthusiasts who like tweaking their devices and testing out different values to achieve a higher benchmark score and brag about it. I'm one of them although for the Note 2 I see little or no difference in performance when comparing between an over clocked and a stock setting.

Sent from the Rabbit Hole
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinfsfocus:
Some people are disagree with overclock some not, benchmark are high only with overclock but if they are not important what are the reason?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] islandjat:
I personally think that having a benchmark with a phones overclock settings turned on is the best way to see the true strength of a phone.

Some phones being overclocked do not even come close to other phones with out it being overclocked
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adinfsfocus:
So overclock or no overclock?

for me, benchmark is only for fun and push it to the best performance of Note 2.

but for daily i still overclocked, 1.8GHz

it was stable and response very well.. :cowboy:
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amande:
Good way to compare devices. Although I do not overclock for my daily usage.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
They are not for everyday thing but they tell their stories. For example I am a GPU comparison addict. I believe the GPUs are the first aging parts of the chipsets and if the GPU is not enough no matter what CPU or phone it is, it will fade away quickly. So when I am choosing a product I take one of the Nexus devices as a reference. For my Note 2, my referance was Nexus 7. Sİnce it will be getting at least 1.5 year support (the worst scenerio) Note will run any game for that time period.

So GLbenchmark comes in. Then it lets us to compare Nexus 4 and Note 2. What we can learn from it is, for example, Mali 400 is better for higher resolutions since 1080p and 720p results are same. Mali 400s quad core processors are so powerfull that they can not be effected by MSAAx4 or higher resolutions where Adreno 320 tenst to slow down however it has a bottle neck on the pixel processor side and it gets stuck on the Egypt 2.5 test no matter how much we OC it. So newer games will be a problem for Note 2 we can say. For the more older-coded games which are still close to the Egypt 2.1 side Adreno barely has %5-7 advantage over the Mali 400 so no problem for a long time.

Thanks for reply:good:
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DarkAngel:
Hmmm just for giggles I installed Nabi Lab on my Computer to change the Lock Screen and it does not want to read my Tablet.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] strive53:
Thanks for this! Driver install didn't work for me on any of my computers...well it did install a driver but didn't read my nabi. Uninstalled nabilab driver and used PDA.net and all was good. Nabilab worked great installing recovery root n gapps! Thanks agn.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
So it's saying error Nabi not detected or no driver? Is the device seen in Device Manger? Really can be only 2 thing, adb conflict or device driver.

What operating systems and did you have any previous Android devices connected to the computer? Sometimes I noticed it will conflict with any previous driver installs, and while installing the driver is successful it won't use it. I guess it doesnt matter if it's working for you with PDAnet. If you are on vista or later you can try running pnputil -e from command prompt and look through all the oemxx.inf's and see how many google,inc android drivers there are.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DarkAngel:
Sorry should have been more specific. It detects it via Device Manager but not via Nabi Lab. I am running Windows 7 x64
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
Is it detecting 2 Nabi interfaces in Device Manager? I can see it's detecting the MTP interface, but what about the ADB interface. Usually ADB appears under Android Device and MTP under Portable Devices. Is there anything under "Other Devices"? NABI2-NV7A something or other? Only other thing I could think is that there is a hung up ADB process running, kill it in task manager or reboot.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] strive53:
sorry knew i should have stated my operating system. my main computer is a macbook and i have a old xp laptop n xp netbook that i use for flashing. i also tried it on my moms win7 desktop and a friends win8 desktop without luck. never changed in device manager from NABI2-NV7A with yellow exclamation point. ive flashed a bunch of phones from my laptop and probably do have drivers installed from who knows what.. it did install the driver but nabi wasnt detected as adb interface. rebooted computers n nabi after installs. i didnt have any other device attached at the time.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DarkAngel:
Yes it's detecting on both. The only thing that has been baffling me for some time is back when I had a Windows phone and after I switched to android, what appears to show in "Other" looks like my old TouchPro2. I can not delete that.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
I had trouble with computers that has previous drivers installed sometimes, other times not. I tested fresh installs on XP 32, 7 32, 7 64, 8 64 and everything went fine, but it was much more hit and miss with computers that already had a slew of drivers. I'm more concerned that NONE of yours would work, although I guess it's offset by the fact that PDAnet driver worked and that NabiLab itself worked fine.

Well you have me baffled too! haha. If you run "adb devices" from cmd prompt what is the output? You have a modified cmd processor, that opens batch files? Seems like everything is in place. It case it's something with the program did you come from v1 NabiLab and patch or just v2?

f you want to play with the lockmod while we figure it out, the pic zip you made will still be in "pictures" folder, just let that portion of the program run until it errors when it tries to adb transfer. You can manually transfer to SD and flash TWRP.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] DarkAngel:
This is the first time installing it actually since I Rooted and installed GApps through Ubuntu. I just wanted to try it so I can try and change the lockscreen image and update TWRP while I was there also. I downloaded v2 with the backup. I was going to try v1 to see if that made a difference or try the PDAnet driver.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] kieronw3:
Worked fine as soon I realised I wasnt waiting for the files to transfer :banghead:
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
I could add a line that says, go check the mail, run to 7-11, trim the dogs toe nails. Hehe. Glad it worked eventually. 58 or so downloads and not many complaints, I can live with that, better then a brickfest. :laugh:
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Eric Karz:
Nice job on lab update. Good use of the colors

i have a Request

could you add 'upgrade Twrp to the latest version'

maybe under Advanced User tool.

then if for some reason there is changes in the future you could just put the image file down load in that folder and update by click of a button ?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] delio77:
Win 8 64bit... Never had other android drivers installed on this machine. I dont see it listed in device manager at all. But the machine definitely sees it in my computer, and I also see it go into debug mode on the tablet. Confused,,,
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
I need something for a version 3, so why not? :p

Are you using NabiLab or just the drivers I linked in another post? Is it detecting it in NabiLab? If it is the drivers have to be there under Android Device.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] bradleyw801:
When I try to install recovery, root, gapps, I get stuck on waiting for device. My device detects just fine. I think it may be an issue with fastboot drivers, not ADB drivers? Because ADB reboots the device into fastboot just fine. But once it's there, it just sits on "waiting for device". Any thoughts?
[Fuhu Nabi 2] reade0871:
Have you verified that your fastboot drivers are working? If you navigate to the folder where adb.exe and fastboot.exe are you can just iddues the command fastboot devices to see if the device is connected while in fastboot.
[Fuhu Nabi 2] Ken Esq:
1. How would you update a Nabi that has been originally rooted on .23 with jmz's work. I'd also like to clean up the optimizing android apps issue?

2. Would it be possible for you to add a "Clone Nabi" option to the Lab. Many people have more than one Nabi to tend to and it would be nice if you could duplicate the setup across multiple devices. I did it by hand for a dozen and let's just say it's a bit painful.

Mostly, though I wanted to thank you and all of the other developers for their work. There is a classroom full of 1st graders that use the Nabis everyday. They used to be stuck with nine-year-old Dell computers that would take 15 minutes just to boot...now things are easy and fun. You guys have really made my donation of the Nabis a great project. Thanks!
[Fuhu Nabi 2] delio77:
I am using NabiLab and it said not detected. I eventually got it to work with PDAnet
[Fuhu Nabi 2] aicjofs:
So is the device still on .23? Probably 3 ways to go about it if that's the case,

1) backup apps with something like Titanium backup, restore the original backup "stockunrooted" of Nabi, reinstall stock recovery, update to 1.9.37, reapply root and gapps, restore app backups, or

2) backup apps, restore a stock 1.9.37 from NabiLab, reapply root, gapps, restore app backup. or

3) you can try updating the safe OTA's people have posted, I came late to the game so I didn't study those, I know there is the wifi issue between kernel and modules if you don't do it right. If you already are on .37 but just rooted back on .23 the only thing to do is gapps to fix android upgrading. The optimizing android is fixed by flashing the fixed gapps.(Gapps only, option 2 then option 3 in NabiLab)

How would you like to see cloning? It just loops through the procedure and you just keep plugging Nabi? Or a restoring image to all of them. Help me visualize what you think would be best.

I'm not sure how you are doing it. How I would do it currenlty for Nabilab if I had 20 brand new Nabi's is like this. Once all Nabi's are at version you want (1.9.37)

Take one Nabi and do a recovery, root, gapps, backup(Option 2, Option 1)

Grab the backup it made and move it to computer.

Take remaining Nabi's

Install TWRP 2.3.3.0(Option 4, Option 1)

Install Root Only(Option 2, Option 4)

Install Gapps Only.(Option 2, Option 3)

What you accomplish here is making the backup only once. So first Nabi takes 15 min, the remaining maybe 3 min.

No thank you for popping in with some feedback. ;)
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craiigman:
Hi, first question is, can you change the lock screen sound? If so how? I'm not a fan of the sound that it makes, I want a regular lock sound, if possible.

Now my question about widget locker.. It makes the unlock sound before I unlock using widget locker. Is this because the phone is technically unlocked and then you are simply using an app? It does this on my Nexus 7 also :/

But yeah I want to use Widget locked to get 4.2 unlock screen. Anyone know?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GroundSkor:
I just got a Menotek Mhl adapter and the phone recognizes the power from it but nothing happens on the TV or the phone when connected. There is no option to switch to hdmi and it doesn't happen automatically. Is our phone supported? Thanks for any help.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ZeroCool84:
I've used it and it works fine. I had to reconnect the cable to get it to work but it works perfect.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GroundSkor:
It's not the adapter because my roommate's evo lte works just fine with it. I am rooted and unlocked running rooted zv9 ROM. Normally I'm good at troubleshooting. Can't figure this one out.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GroundSkor:
Man I've tried so many things already. I've had multiple friends use it now but I'm the only one with an LGOG. I thought you needed an extra adapter for the s3 but that worked as well. My phone accepts that its hooked to a charger but nothing else. I really want to play n64 and snes on my tv Lol!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GroundSkor:
Well figured it out. The S3 didn't actually work. I got the 5 to 11 pin adapter and all is well. HD phone on the TV is pretty sweet!

Edit: Works for my buddy's S3. 11 pin does NOT fit LGOG. Still does not work with my phone at all.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ryocho:
so the OG uses 11 pin MHL like samsung? I thought only S2/Note2 is using 11 pin.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Dr. Mark:
I bought one off a guy on ebay named fourpairteledata for $8 with free shipping. There is no name on the unit and it feels cheaply built and only came in a plastic bag but it works perfectly and has a microusb port for the ac adapter.

Once upon a time, I had a working version of chrome on this tablet, but for some reason, the apk got deleted out of my precious downloads folder where I keep my apks and I ain't got it no mo'.

Does anyone have a link to this or able to pull it from their device with AirDroid or Titanium backup?

And while we are on the topic of running these types of apps, was there ever a run-able Google Now for older devices? I have never seen one. Thanks guys.

As an alternative to Chrome, you may wish to install FireFox

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
Seems like it acts more like malware than an antivirus. Could possibly be downloading virus database updates. But if you really wanna use an antivirus program use avast or avg not some random program you don't even know where it came from

It doesn't even scan for viruses. the damn thing offloads work to a site owned by google (that explicitly states NOT to use for commercial purposes) and AFTER it has been scanned by the site, the program flags the files as clean and NEVER offloads the files to scan ever again. it's the most useless garbage i've ever heard of and any positive reviews are FAKE

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] fawiki:
It looks like that's the download server. After playing around with it, I think I see what they're doing. You probably have your browser open on their download page. Every time you start your browser it downloads the install apk to your device again. I noticed it when I went back to my browser. Try closing that page or navigating away from it. The downloads should stop.
