[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] czajka97:
Hey everyone. Yesterday I tried flashing a kernel (elemental) and it got me into a boot loop. Then I restored my backup of Stock w/ Goodies that I had made that day. Upon restoring, somehow I lost root. I still have an unlocked bootloader and recovery, but no root privelages.. I tried flashing the superuser.zip that you install when rooting with no avail. I am stuck on this one. Please help me!

Thanks in advance.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] P.Mobile:
so flash a diff rom all custom roms come rooted with supersu or superuser

Hey guys im Looking for a launcher that lets me make tabs in the app draw, if had a look and I can't find an good ones I want the app draw and launcher look as stock as possible.

Thanks amatris.
[Nexus 7 General] marsyeti:
Nova launcher prime is my choice, really nice, truly stock. Heard Apex is good too, never tried though.

[Nexus 7 General] .torrented:
ADWLauncher or AWDLauncherEx looks like stock in and out with a bunch of awesome features and you can make tabs in the app drawer
[Nexus 7 General] knuckles1978:
Yeah, I use adw ex, its really good, and has tabs, don't know if the free version does also, but is well worth the small price.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Nova Launcher Prime is all you need.
[Nexus 7 General] jonny68:
Nova Launcher is the best of them all, Holo HD and Apex worth a mention too
[Nexus 7 General] filipathtc:
AW: Launcher help?

Nova can create folders in the app drawer but apex can create custom tabs. So I recommend you apex launcher.
[Nexus 7 General] Just_s:
Nova Prime does both tabs and folders. It's my go to launcher these days. I formerly used GOex, it's the best free option for folder function. Apex is also very good.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Go is too much of a RAM hog.
[Nexus 7 General] knuckles1978:
Totally. Go uses a ridiculous amount of system resources.

I like ADW because its not a system hog, has loads of neat effects, has the tabs in app drawer, let's you change the size of dock icons and app drawer icons. I see it as what the stock launcher should have been.
[Nexus 7 General] Winesnob:
I've used both Nova and Apex, and stuck with Apex. Just personal preference as they both work well, and you can keep the stock look with a lot of great customizations in functionality.
[Nexus 7 General] Just_s:
I guess it is, but I used it for nearly two years without any issue and really loved all the supporting apps. That said, I haven't seen a bad recommendation here yet. I've used most launchers going back to the G1 and pretty much each of those mentioned thus far has been great to use. Comes down to personal preferences like most things Android.
[Nexus 7 General] laloutre:
I've just discovered Nemus Launcher and I guess it will replace Go on my devices!

And if suppose i want to return to stock rom i found this link of stock roms http://www.mediafire.com/?qwr4n3phnfr4a

And if suppose i made some mistakes and i am unable to acess the recovery is there any way that i can flash the stock rom ?

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] DanceOff:
This will never happen that you can't access recovery you can always access fastboot in all circumstances and flash recovery again

---------- Post added at 11:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:45 PM ----------

And you don't need to mount ext its automatic
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] DanceOff:
We need ext to flash sense 4 as it doesn't fit in our nand its huge Rom

Our system apps and media and user apps are in ext partition on that Rom
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] ankitxperia:
thanks bro new to this fast boot thing sd ext partion should be ext 4 right?

and finally one last question that can i Flash STOCK ROM directly without relocking the bootloader Again

and over any Custom Rom ??

and yeah sorry forgot this thread belongs to Q and A mods if possible pls move this thread
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] DanceOff:

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] mrmwroot:
It's irked me that I couldn't sync a google calendar from within NT Hidden Settings with a rooted Nook Tablet 8gb without incurring a fatal error signified by the red exclamation point denoting failure to sync. (specifically--Nook Tablet 8gb OS 1.42 JIchuan's SD card root method)

To get the calendar working, this XDA developer's thread provided breadcrumbs, however, it turned out to be even easier than set forth in this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=23039255&postcount=20

(Note: This is hardly complex enough to be deemed an 'exploit' as it It requires little in the way of wizardry or the delving into other arcane and deeply dark arts.)

1. go to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1436397

2. Download the acclaim_update.zip file to your PC or Mac

3. extract Calendar.apk and CalendarProvider.apk

4. copy these two files to your Nook (I copied them into the My Documents folder on my SD card)

5. Use a file manager to click on each of the apk's and install them using the Package Installer option

6. Try to open each; each will give you an error.

7. go to home screen and do a cold boot, i.e...

8. power down with a long press of the on/off button

9. power on with a long press of the on/off button

10. Go into NT Hidden Settings, Accounts, select your account and put a check mark in Sync Calendars.

11. Wait five or ten seconds until it takes hold, says your calendar is synced and the check mark stays green (without a red exclamation point having appeared)

12. Voila. Your google calendar is synced

13. go to the home screen, click on the App Drawer

14. Click on the Calendar app.

15. It loads without error

16. Test it by creating an event.

Enjoy.

Without XDA status to post this in the developers' thread, I've put it here instead.

Has anyone else had a problem with spider cracks randomly appearing on your battery door. I've never dropped my phone and have always kept it in an otterbox.

One day I took the cover off and in the bottom right corner I have a circular spider crack

I had one on my Blue S3 but I can't find one on my White Note 2. It's kind of hard to spot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DaRkL3AD3R:
Can't find any on mine. I've kept it in a Seidio ACTIVE case pretty much the whole time I had it. However. It has seen about 3 drops from 1-2 feet up. 2 of the drops were in the case, the last one was naked. Took a nasty fall while testing out my navigation mount suction cupped to my hardwood desk.

Note to all - the Samsung mount does not suction cup to hardwood desks.

No cracks on mine and I take my cover off on a daily basis to replace my battery; I never recharge my phone but swap batteries. It could be much, much worst because the door is the cheapest part to replace. Some of those carbon fiber and leather backs look much better than the Verizon branded stock ones. Funny part is that I have a spare NFC chip from the free flip cover Samsung sent me a few weeks ago.

It would be a different story if I heard or experienced a crack in the housing. Then I would be pissed.

Hi everyone!

As you may know I'm a big fan of Michael Jackson!

There isn't any Michael Jackson soft keys so I decided to make some.. :)

It took a little bit more than hour to edit pictures (BLUE) and make them to right size and right look, so if you use these and like these then say thanks or click thanks.

I made these for myself but I share them here if someone wants to use these on his/her Android phone! :)

Blue soft keys have a little bit smaller Menu button in landscape mode..! I have made it bigger on RED soft keys!

Can you make some for Metal bands?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Carlos_Manuel:
:)

Thanks! :)

Sorry but I don't listen metal or heavy music, but I listen all the other genres! :D

There is one really easy way to create own by finding good picture which size isn't so big, e.g.: then make background to transparent and change color if you want, then re-size image to the size which is on the original soft key .png

then when pictures size has right size then change those names and add them to SystemUI.apk /res/drawable-xhdpi/ and replace the files.

then replace the SystemUI.apk on your Nexus, or make flashable zip and flash it. :)

you need those files from SystemUI.apk /res/drawable-xhdpi/

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chus70:
Interested if anyone else has had this problem?

Thought i would share my experience with my Note 2 not charging and maybe help others with the same problem. The Note would not except a charge from either a PC via USB or the charger. The charger was ticking and continued to do so when unplugged from the mains. The problem was moisture in the USB charging port on the phone which corroded and probably shorted. It cost $20.00 for a new USB charging port circuit board including installation.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StylesC2:
I'm having the same problem. Where did you have it replaced? Did you buy the part separately?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chus70:
Hi, it seemed to be Samsung service centre, not sure if it was an "approved" place as i live in Azerbaijan. Could not believe they had the circuit board in stock and of course i was worried about leaving the phone with them. The shop i bought it from here wanted to run the phone through a full diagnostic which meant a full factory reset. I said no because i did not believe it was a sotware related issue. The Note has been perfect ever since, and i now have an Otterbox Defender to hopefully stop the moisture problem.

Got my sprint LGOG yesterday and took one picture, camera worked. I then rooted the phone and unlocked it.

Do NOT FLASH any Nexus 7 kernel into your Nexus 4. One fella here already bricked a NEXUS device (Nexus device are very difficult to brick to how open they are).

Other than that, do whatever you want with the phone. It's an Android, and it's a Nexus.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PoisonWolf:
If you're new to the whole android scene....I strongly recommend that you just use the phone as you got it for 2 months FIRST.

While that's going on, read up through the forums, etc.

Just use it as it is first. =)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerboii:
Id say the first thing you should do is get a case or a back film protector.

Then just read carefully if you want to start flashing. Read read and read again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MattSkeet:
First few things to do with your phone

1. Charge it

2. Turn it on

3. Set up

4. Download apps you might need from play store (this will change over time )

5. Its a phone ffs use it as it is for few weeks. See what you like and what you don't. If you don't like something check if there is an app FIRST that will solve your problem . If you can't find an app think if its worth messing with the phone for one single tweak, unless you have found few things that bug you .

Stock android is nearly perfect and can do most/all of the things for normal user. Even customisation doesn't require root in most cases
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steviewevie:
Unlock the bootloader before you do anything on the phone. Unlocking it wipes all data, so best to do it when there's nothing on there anyway. Then it leaves you open to easily root in the future.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peedub:
Easiest way I find it to either flash a custom recovery, or just boot from one and flash superSU.zip.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crisisx1:
But I thought. You had to unlock the bootloader in order to do that?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterchung89:
IIRC you need to unlock the bootloader. Jubakuba has an excellent guide on how to unlock, root, and install a recovery onto you N4 here

For anyone new to android, like Poisonwolf said don't immediately jump onto rooting. For me, this being my first nexus device I read at least 2 weeks worth of threads before my N4 came to get a sense of what works, what not to do, what not to do, problems that others were having, etc. (I did do some development for the droid x on another forum, so I've never flashed kernels before). Sure all the reading may be a lot to do, but it pays off massively when you accidentally brick and have no idea what to do.

Something I would highly recommend off the bat is just setting up your adb and if you want to, try flashing factory images in case worst comes. Link to guide here

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n1ggyn1ce:
if this is your first smartphone, I say just enjoy your phone and get familiar with it for 2-6 months. Once u get comfy and have basic interest in customizing (change icons/layout/etc), then download a launcher like Apex and play around. Only when you are super-comfortable w/android and want to untap its potential, then I suggest rooting. Keep in mind, I've been an android user for over 3 years and yesterday was the first time I've ever rooted my phone. Don't listen to ppl who tell u to unlock the bootloader right after getting your phone when u have zero experience w/android at all.
