Ask them to maka a little research on the internet. Most if these guys are scumbags.

You got 2 years warranty (if you read the warranry manuals). Dont be gentle against them.

I got that crack over the light sensor too. After a year, now its cracked.

Do you use a case on your arc?

Sooo?

Hi,

i found a kexec binary compiled for armv7 cpus (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1361943).(What is KEXEC?).

My idea is now to boot a second custom kernel from recovery via kexec from recovery which boots from sd.

would that work?

if yes you could dualboot from sd without touching anything on nand and have different kernels (for example gb and jb).

i would need some help to make it work, but first some infos about how to do it, if possible

For other phones there are some methods, but you need the same kernels.

I think you should do this:

4.) Open the boot manager app

5.) Install sdcard ROM

Hey guys, I bought the white wireless charging kit from Alibaba express and it works perfectly however I wasn't too happy about the indicator lights as they were too bright for me and I couldn't sleep at night with those bright LED's..so I went ahead and carried out a small mod. This might be helpful to someone so thought I'd share it here.

I opened up the charger and placed a thick piece of tape on one of the sides right next to the LED's. This side faces my bed so I wanted to make sure all that light bleed was taken care of.

Then I cut out small pieces of black tape and placed them right above the LED's.

So...I've recently got a class 10 SD card, and thinking of going for a ROM that will utilize both the space and the read/write speeds of my card.

The question is...which is faster, SD or Native SD? And what are the general differences.:confused:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] o82239:
AW: [Q] SD vs Native SD (ROM Performance)

Hi,

some answers (my experiences)...

normal SD:

+ simple to install (copy files on SD)

+ dual/triple/... boot (if you have a 32 GB SD, you can have so many ROMs... and don't delete WinMobile/WinPhone)

+ backup = copy container files

- not so fast, because of IO over Fat/ext4-filesystem

- no single source with NAND (ports mostly with some tools)

NativeSD: Combinates advantages of NAND and normal SD

+ fast (depends of SD-Class, I use Cass 6 and it is fast :) )

+ mutch NAND ROMs supports NativeSD too (single source)

+ dual/triple/... boot (you can have one/two/... androids and WinMobile 6.5 or WinPhone 7.x)

o backup with recovery-tool

- installation not so simple as normal SD (you have to partition your SD-Card)

if you want normal SD or NativeSD on WinMobile, you can start android with my tool:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monorailmedic:
So I was on CleanROM 5.6 and wanted to give 10.1 a shot. I made a backup and downloaded it to my computer via the ROMManager tool. I ran into 2 issues with 10.1 and decided I'd try again later, so I wanted to flash back to my CleanROM backup that I'd just made. Whether via ROMManager or going straight into recovery the process says it can't open the path to the file. I say the path, as this has occurred with the zip image on internal memory and when I've tried on the SD card.

Soooo, now I'm pretty stuck. Thoughts? I felt like it must have related to the new 4.2 file structure but again, this was an issue whether my zip was on internal memory or the card.

Thanks,

BH

The exact process is:

installing [path]

finding update package.

opending update package.

e: cant open [path] (bad)

installation aborted

CWM says it's leaving a log file but I am not seeing it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Sounds like your filesystem is like this: "/sdcard/0" and if it is, then do the following:

taken verbatim from here:

http://rootzwiki.com/topic/37316-protip-42-and-recoveries/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monorailmedic:
I'm going to give it a shot now. I wouldn't have thought this would be an issue restoring since the zip was accessible and I even tried flashing from internal mem, but perhaps it's not as much as issue of reading the file as knowing where to extract the data? We'll see.

All in all, if I could just get 10.1 to stop giving me market errors (920) I'd probably just stick with that at the moment. Alas, have tried all of the interweb's solutions for that too.

Will update, thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monorailmedic:
So I don't have a /0/ dir on the card, but I do have a /1/. Tried moving the contents of /1/ but it failed. May try another file explorer app (this was via CMs). Interestingly, I was able to flash a ClearnROM install zip, which is 4.1.1 based. Why would that work but the constructed backups wouldn't?

update: I can flash anything else regardless of location, and I am using the latest recovery. def seems like something specific to zip backups made/downloaded via the newest means in ROM Manager
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Well if the rom zip is on /sdcard or /extsdcard then it will flash fine. If your backups are on /sdcard/1/ then that's literally the same as /0/. Recovery is looking for your Nandroid backup on /sdcard but it's not there, it's actually been unnecessarily moved to /sdcard/1/ if I'm understanding you correctly. You will not be able to restore a nandroid until you get those files moved back to the proper file path.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGunz:
I have a similar problem with my file system after flashing from 4.2 back to 4.1 that has me confused.

I flashed to a TW rom after being on CM10.1, and I was using the most recent TWRP when I originally flashed CM10.1. I had the usual problem that everybody seems to have being that the "0" folder was located on my card. I copied the fold over to my normal sdcard folder (unfortunately I used root browser instead of root explorer, which made this much more painful as it does not have the "merge" ability. Root Explorer - accept no substitutes)

After doing the merge though, I have 2 problems.

#1 - My external SDcard is now listed under "storage."

#2 - There is an Sdcard there called "sdcard0 as well as a "extSdCard" in this storage folder with all the same information as the original "0" folder that was on the internal sdcard. Also a bunch of folders named UsbDriveA, UsbDriveB, etc.

Why did this happen? And how should I set up my folders so that it behaves properly? In other words, what does a normal file system look like?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monorailmedic:
So this is where I am confused, does the zip not contain all of the appropriate backup data within itself, and it is looking elsewhere (in the wrong path) for backup data? This seems odd based on the whole idea as well as the size of the file. If this is not the case, when why is whatever scripting is included in the backup looking for an absolute and not a relative path to the data? It should always be relative to the location of the zip file itself.

I really want to try and understand this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
See my attached photo for what your file system should look like. I'm using ES File Explorer and that's my file system.

What do you mean your external SDcard is listed under Settings/Storage? Both of mine are listed, internal storage is first then my external sd card is second. Care to screenshot what you mean?

If you're using CWM, it saves your backups for internal sd card in: /sdcard/CWM/backup and blobs. For your external sd card, it's saved /extsdcard/CWM/backups and blobs. If you flashed any AOSP 4.2 rom, it moves EVERYTHING from your /sdcard/ path to /sdcard/0. See the difference? Example, your music should be in this path /sdcard/Music but instead it's been moved to /sdcard/0/Music on AOSP 4.2. I get what you're saying how it should be looking for where the zip is BUT the multi-user support completely disrupts our entire thinking of how our file system should be because one user could be "rooted" whereas the other user would be completely stock depending on who signed in. It's too early to expect this to just work since Google introduced this in 4.2. It's a take it or leave it thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monorailmedic:
For a standard backup that makes total sense. My confusion is how this happens with a zip, when all of the backup data is confined to that one archive file (or at least should be).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
When you made a backup with Rom Manager, it saved to /sdcard, since flashing 4.2, everything on /sdcard moved to /sdcard/1/... Rom Manager and any app honestly would have issues when the file location has changed suddenly and without its express permission. It's not the fault of Rom Manager that it can't find the file to restore your backup. Having an updated TWRP or CWM is supposed to help prevent the /sdcard contents from being merged to /sdcard/0, its not supposed to continue looking for the "new" file destination.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGunz:
Sorry, I can see what I said was confusing.

On the root of my device, among the usual folders, there is one named "sdcard" and another named "storage."

In the "sdcard" folder, all of the folders were empty; however, there is a folder named "0" which contained all of my sdcard contents from my internal sdcard.

In the "storage" folder from the root of my file system, it resembles what you have in your screenshot, except there are no asec and obb folders. In the sdcard folder is a replica of the 0 folder. It contains everything that was in my original internal sdcard. The extsdcard contains everything normally found on my external sd card.

When download something with the stock browser, it defaults to the sdcard folder on the root of file system.

I've attached some screenshots. Let me know what you think and thank you for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh! This is actually funny, we've been looking at the same thing from two different viewpoints. I see what you mean, /Storage and /sdcard are perfectly normal when you see them on the absolute root file system: "/". I always go to /mnt, that's where I have my file explorer default to open when I launch the app. Sdcard0 = sdcard, and various apps will use the names interchangeably. I have exactly the same paths /sdcard and /Storage, and I do see /Storage/sdcard0 and /Storage/extsdcard along with the same empty USB Drive folders. This is just how the "/" directory is split up. There isn't a duplication of files taking up more space than necessary, it's just showing you another path to get to those files. To reiterate, on "/" you can get to your sdcard contents in at least three paths: /mnt, /sdcard, and also /Storage/sdcard0

All that matters is the /sdcard/0 aka /Storage/sdcard0/0 is GONE. Which, in your original post you said no longer exists correct?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monorailmedic:
I am still not understanding how there is a problem with executing a zip file that contains all the backup data. It doesn't matter where I move this zip file, as it seems it should be all inclusive of the backup data. Why does it matter the path of this file? What is the script looking for during restoration? Shouldn't it be looking within the archive?

I'm sorry, I feel like a tool, but again, I'm obviously missing some very basic part of what is happening when the file is accessed. As it is all inclusive, why is recovery looking for content anywhere outside of the archive?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] unhappybirthday:
Backups cannot be flashed like other ZIP files. They need to be restored using the restore function of your recovery. The problem is that the CWM restore function is looking for its backups where it puts them (not surprisingly). Android 4.2 moved them to another location and you need to move them back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGunz:
Correct!

You helped me solve my problem. I was so confused for awhile there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PeterGunz:
What should I rename my sdcard after copying everything over from "0"?

I just flashed back to 4.2.1 (AOLP) and I cannot find the contents of my internal sdcard anywhere. In fact, when I check storage on the system settings it only shows that I have a little over 12gbs total space on the internal sdcard. The 8gb I have on TW on the internal sdcard are not recognized by the rom. Any thoughts?
