Stock safe is using stock recovery 3e

If you have cwm 3.0, you have not restocked.

Read the PDF guide page 7 and flash again with Odin.

Priyana,

Thanks for your post. I'll read and follow from page 7.

Priyana,

Followed stock recovery 3e. Flashed with Odin, able to boot after but the message "The application Samsung Home (process com.sec.android.app.twlauncher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." still shows and still can't go to settings. It looks like the previous setting was not erased after the flash.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
Settings that won't go away or won't stick, are indication of failing internal lash memory.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n99k:
Thanks for the info Priyana. How do we fix it? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] priyana:
There isn't really a fix.

A workaround exists, by using external SD, partitioned and formatted in certain way.

Hey guys, I have a macbook pro that I need to dual boot linux on. I've done most of the steps, I just need to find the linux distro I want. I love the easiness of ubuntu, but the Unity UI is horrendous. Is there a way to remove the Unity UI and replace it with something like GNOME? I love Luninux, but it doesn't seem to install on my computer. I get "Ubi-partman failed due to error code 141". I want a linux distro that competes in aesthetics with Ubuntu and Joli Cloud, but I need the functionality of a computer instead of a netbook. All suggestions are welcome... Thanks!

NOTE: I have looked all around XDA and the internet, but those are mostly the popular ones like Fedora and Ubuntu. I wouldn't mind Ubuntu if there's a way to change it from Unity.

I like mint and love cinammon desktop but it's so reminiscent of windows, I'm not as drawn to it as some other distros. Thank you for the link
[Off-topic] shadowskorch:
Yes! thank you
[Off-topic] LoopDoGG79:
Well, it is reminiscent of windows, but IMO, it's different enough. Also cmason37's suggestion will do the trick.
[Off-topic] cmason37:
I don't like mint cause it's just Ubuntu with Unity/Nautilus removed and cinnamon/mate installed. Both cinnamon and mate are in the repository so I can just install those and use mint wallpaper instead of changing distros.

I tried Ubuntu, but it didn't want to play nice with my comcast router. Had to hack some files to get a good Internet connection. Have had zero issues with mint.

Hmmm, so I am also experiencing WiFi issues with Ubuntu (I'm running it off a disc before installing.) If I use Linux mint, could I take off cinnamon and replace it with GNOME the same way it would be done in Ubuntu? Sorry, I'm kind of a noob with Linux, but trying to gain some experience.
[Off-topic] LoopDoGG79:
Yes, you are correct buddy.

Edit: Or install the version that comes with GNOME pre installed.

I have a 2008 MBP that Kubuntu runs flawless on. Run any live distro to check if your hardware works first, then install to disk. That's what I did.

You also might have to install drivers that are non-free (as in speech). You'll have that option once you've installed.

This week-end i made a small puzzle-game, and want to share with you. The goal of fubuki is to have the numbers (off-grid) in the grid so that the sum of each row and each column gives the value in front of her.

Fubuki offers 4 levels of difficulty (from easy to very difficult). A fubuki can be solved more or less quickly depending on the difficulty of fubiki or your level.

This application offers ONE million different fubuki playable in four difficulty modes

Had the same issue with Tab 8.9. I have a 2012 Wrangler, with a built in USB port, also have a USB charger plugged into the power port. When I connect my 7.7, all I get is a red X over the battery icon. In the settings under status, it says "discharging".i have no issues with my Note2 using the same ports. Have tried different cables with the tab.

Any body have any ideas? The tab is stock, unrooted, running ICS.

My USB charger is a 2 Amp, but is dual port. Could have sworn the package said it was 2 amps per port, unless both ports were used, then would be 1amp per port. Then my other is 2.5 Micro USB, BUT has a USB port in it as well.

Hi,

I spent a lot of time searching for good charger (bought at least 4) different types, and got allways the same results the red X until few days ago. I tried my Samsung I9100 phone cable (micro USB) with an adpter (P1000) bought from eBay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-3...Readers_USB_Host_Adapters&hash=item484f20b751) for almost nothing. The result was impressive, on on hour drive the device charges at a rate of 10% progress (without having the red X).

Some thing else that may interst some of questioning the charge from the laptop, I had the same fantastic result (but the adapter does not allow Sync).

[Windows 8 General] caudex:
Use a regular OTG Micro USB to USB adapter
[Windows 8 General] Ravynmagi:
I've been testing my micro USB port with a micro USB to USB OTG cable I have.

Logitech G700 mouse works.

Kingston micro SD to USB adapter works.

Corsair Vengeance 2000 headphones works.

WD 500GB USB 3.0 hard drive works.

Samsung Ultraslim DVD drive does NOT work.

The Samsung DVD drive did work on the full sized USB port on my Samsung 500T tablet. But on the ME400, the light lights up once when I plug it in, but never installs the device and doesn't have any power afterwards. This is a USB powered DVD drive.

Surprised the external hard drive did work when the DVD drive failed. But it showed up fine, had some videos on it, was able to play videos from there okay.

I have another external DVD drive that is powered externally, I imagine that'll probably work fine, I'm too lazy to find it and plug it in (it's an old giant clunky beast).
[Windows 8 General] caudex:
I think the port only puts out 500ma. The DVD Drive is most likely over that. However quite a lot of modern 2.5" HDDs (your external hdd) are just below 500ma in power which is why it works.
[Windows 8 General] goofball2k:
I'll try with my Aluratek dvd writer later. It has a Y cable so may need more than 500mA.
[Windows 8 General] Ravynmagi:
My Samsung DVD drive is powered from a single USB cable (no y splitter for extra power). So I'm guessing the micro USB port isn't even outputting 500mA. It worked fine on the Samsung Atom tablet and I doubt that USB port was outputting more than 500mA.

Hi all,

I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the standard 'camera' app started to record videos with no sound..

There's just quiet white background noise in videos (as if mic is very low level)..

I've tried the stock ''camera app', and also 'camera mx' app - same thing.

Quite strange as mic itself is ok - people can hear me on calls, and audio recording apps ('Hi Q MP3 Rec') work ok too.

Any ideas?

I'm on a stock rom, the phone isn't even rooted.

Thanks!

Thanks a lot
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Phillip Wu:

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Samak:
factory reset wont effect root

flash the Xperia GX launcher via CWM, then wipe delvik cache, reboot.. try it..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Ghostfreak NB:
Why don't you flash a Gx launcher and try!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] pranav_cool:
No definitely not. root is not gonna affect. and if you dont want z launcher then simply restore your original home.apk file. and delet old means your currently home.apk file.

You can find this using root explorer-root->sys->app. just dlt old and copy your original.

Another option install laucher....and set it as dafault. like apex or nova. gives u smooth performance.

Overclocking profiles

Okay as mentioned before in the above post I will post some screenies of my current profiles, of which I prefer. However you can use my settings as a reference and create your own, if you do make a screenie of your setup and post it to give others more options, or more understanding of what these are, and what they are about.

A little more indepth about CPU profiles is that let's say if you wanted to conserve more battery during the night for example, you could create a profile saying what clock speeds to run at, at particular times this meaning from 12AM-8AM with a clock speed of 122mhz-386mhz this configuration will save more power than 122mhz-600mhz or 767mhz or even 806mhz in an overclockers case.

For example my clock speeds are:

122mhz-3xxmhz in sleep mode

806mhz-806mhz when charging

122mhz-4xxmhz from 2.00AM to 8.00AM

2xxmhz-806mhz when doing tasks in sleep mode such as titanium backup.

Update: It appears with some configurations, that if music is playing the lag may be present when waking the device.
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
Potential thermal throttling

Just like any other computer weather it is a desktop, laptop, phone or even a tablet, and no not the ones you eat lol :rolleyes:

All have thermal limits, also known as thermal throttling which is the CPUs thermal limit, when this reached the system may become unstable,reboot,or turn off entirely depending on what the device is coded to do in these situations.

I have a theory of why some people's phones can overclock higher than others without issues, or really high core temperatures. I think it is down to the environmental variables which include:

Humidity, the more humid the environment is the harder it is to cool a device, due to a higher density of water being in the air unable to transfer heat effectively.

Heat, this is a big problem for computers what are overclocked, more speed means mote heat! Unlike a gaming computer, where there is a whacking heatsink to cool the CPU efficient enough to prevent overheating

However, for any android phones, tablets it is a different story, the cooling system inside these devices is known as static cooling, meaning there is mire heating being trapped inside the system and isn't being moved my fans etc...

Now I believe if the people having issues with overclocking should post their temperatures of their CPU to see if there is a difference between devices which can overclock far, and the ones that can't.

To get more information on temperatures I think anyone who is overclocked should post their temps both idle, and after playing some games etc...

For example, using the setCPU application widget on my home scene I can read my temps of my CPU on the fly, if you can't provide a screenshot of this for what ever reason then post you information like below:

IDLE: [MENTION=4125037]122m[/MENTION]hz-806mhz is around 18-22 degrees.

AFTER WORK (GAMES,APPS ETC...) [MENTION=4125037]122m[/MENTION]hz-806mhz is around 32-39 degrees

If people post these figures then we will know if there is much of a temperature difference between devices.

Let's get some boss results and figures to help figure out potential crashes,reboots etc... Some users have experienced.

Remember, that thermal throttling, slows down the CPU, so it doesn't cause damage to it
[HTC Desire C] russell664:
CPU governors what are they?

In the brief explanation in the first post a Cpu governor basically tells android how to access the hardware, in this case the CPU. Basically each governor has a set amount of variables of how long processes can use a thread on the CPU, or how the system handles simple requests, the governor controlles all of the things android puts through our hardware.

Intact a CPU governor is so low level it is actually inside the android linux kernel, meaning that the kernel compiler needs to code these into the kernel to make them available.

There are many governors available, of which can be used under certain circumstances for example:

Conservative, this governor will try to cut the amount of clock cycles the phone will process data with, hence the name conservative meaning it will save power where possible, but resulting in lower performance.

Preformance, this governor is used to squeeze every little bit of performance out of your system possible, great for gaming but not so great for battery life.

I will list other governor functions later on. :D

Currently the governor I recommend is based solely on use, I mostly use Lagfree which is both good battery life and gaming performance.

If you guys use any others governors post it with why you think it is the best config for you, including your temps, clock speeds etc...

Remember this thread is about gathering information about the thermal relation between phones what can overclock far, and ones that can't. ;)

Flashing a Boot.img

Recently I have had messages from new users who are confused about installing this rom, Well i'm here to help! So I have written a short guide on how to flash the rom, kernel etc... In short simple steps:

Copy the newest nameless to your sd card

Install the rom as normal

When it says reboot after installation is finished, uncheck that box and go back into recovery

Then on the main recovery screen there will be a reboot into fastboot, click that. Note: have your computer plugged into your phone before this, because it will connect better.

Next on your computer find the nameless rom package open it and find a folder called, "Kernel_boot_img"

My advice is to try the 767mhz kernel first, see if your phone boots if it does try the 806mhz after, if it also boots you have a high over clocked phone

You will need to flash the boot.img as normal (fastboot flash boot boot.img), whatever kernel it is (767, or 806mhz) And don't forget the wipe the cache after installing the new kernel as this could cause problems to fix this use this command, "Fastboot wipe cache" then followed by "fastboot reboot" then your phone should reboot.

TO CLEAR ANY CONFUSION:

Don't flash both kernels at one time, it will not work like that try one at a time to see if it boot with success.

If it doesn't boot with one of the kernels, then try the other one most phone work with the 767mhz kernel, while others work with the 806mhz

If nothing else work message me and I will try to help, however your phone should work and boot with success with these step, be sure to follow them closely.

Good luck, I hope this helps any new comers having problems.
