[General Questions and Answers] gshelvankar:
Hello folks,

I am fairly new to the Android OS so please be gentle :P

I took the plunge and finally got a smart TV from Haier which came with the 2.3.4 Android system. All is fine an cherry in 2.3.4 town as of now (apart from its horribly looking user interface design). But was wondering if i could install the 4.0 update ?

Isnt the android system like any other where you have one default version of the OS that comes from google and then there are variants from the open-source community ? If so then which is the best stable version and where can i find it.

Installation of the 2.3.4 OS is on an MMC that i copied from the technicians that came home to fix the TV so i am fine with a backup and the procedure for the install from an MMC. But i assume that if i download the OS from the internet then the procedure will be a bit different ?

I'll update more of the details (Kernel version etc) when i get home. All this because the manufacture - Haier - does not provide updates online or on its website or anywhere on the web. Appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance.

Gaj

Hi Gaj - I have the same question which you have. Did you get any response from anyone or have you now upgraded to the latest version ?

If you have the latest firmware to upgrade , please share it with me or else please share the OS back up what you have as I don't even have it

please help me

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasab:
I was running the 2.99 PA rom on my Nexus 7 with m-kernel without any issues until 2 days ago, when my device rebooted and entered a bootloop, got stuck on the Google screen first, then I managed to get into the twrp recovery and erased cache and dalvik cache. Then it booted until the "X" screen and got struck there until I resetted the device by holding the power button for a while. Since then, the screen is totally dead, the only response I can get is the Windows usb device connected sound. I've tried each and every button combination and also pulled the battery but it did not help. The tablet shows up as an APX device in the device manager. I have searched the forums and I only found other people who have accindentally erased their bootloaders and then got stuck in APX, but this is not the case with my nexus as there wasn't any bootloader tinkering involved at all.

Do you have any suggestions on what I should do/try to do?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Should take 18 seconds or so.

You can get to the bootloader (fastboot mode) FROM ANY STATE.

Read that again - from any state.

See "bootloader interrupt" in this thread:

[REF] Nexus 7 Button Combinations

cheers
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasab:
I've read that thread and tried the methods listed there but it didn't help. Maybe there's something else that went wrong while the device was bootlooping and corrupted the bootloader?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Quite possibly. From my limited understanding of the Tegra3 boot process, it sounds freakishly complicated. And complicated is the same thing as "lots of opportunities for bug expressions".

Also, it sounds like you had a spontaneous failure that was not temporally coincident with a flashing operation. That smells like a hardware problem, but it's hard to be certain though as you were using a dev kernel and custom ROM.

If you plug it in to the PC and then hold down the power button for an extended period of time, do you see any activity in the Device Manager that suggests that Windows is seeing a hardware state change (even if it rolls right back into APX mode?)

I'm not aware of any rescue methods at this time via APX on the Nexus 7 at this time (apparently they do exist for other Tegra devices, but the N7 experimenters using those methods have come up empty-handed so far).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasab:
Holding the power button for around 10 seconds causes it to disconnect and then reconnect 4-5 seconds later. Holding the power button with any(or both) of the volume buttons has the same effect.

I did read that apx recovery thread too before posting.. What do you recommend, should I try to get it repaired in warranty as the guys in that thread did, or is it a no-go because of the custom rom and kernel?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
Uh-Oh. When you do the power-button-hold-thing with a tab that behaves normally (and is plugged into the PC) you see exactly that timing: APX disappears right around 10 seconds, and then the bootloader screen pops up about 4-5 seconds later. Good news is that your tab knows you are pressing the power button - bad news is the bootloader doesn't appear at the moment it should.

I can't speak from experience, but my guess is there is a technician sitting someplace with a pile of returns, and his/her bosses are breathing down his/her neck to increase the number of units turned per day. They won't be doing a forensic examination; that isn't a cost-effective way to do business. More than likely they will be replacing the motherboard if their diagnostics show the smallest hint of trouble. But I don't know for sure.

Either that or you can take this as a gauntlet thrown down and become the person that cracks open APX for the N7 :)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wasab:
Thanks for your help! I think that I will try to solve this the easy way, but if I have no luck with that then I'm sure that I'll do some serious digging about the apx recovery. :P
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda6969:
Last night, everyone I called couldn't hear me at all. I went into Network Operators and saw that "Choose Automatically" was set and that I had 3 HOME listings. I touched "Choose Automatically" and I touched one of the HOMEs. I saw the Registered On Network dialog pop-up a couple of times. Then, people were able to hear me.

Does anyone know what happened here? Why did I need to go in those settings and will I continue to need to do so?

Hi,

I have recently rooted mt phone and installed JB V1.1 using the custom rom at the follwoing link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2106187

When the phone boots up it stopps. I cannot access anything! Left with the startup screen for the new custom rom.

I have tried to revert back to the original sotck rom but it fails. I ahve also tired to insatll another custom rom and it aslo fails.

Any suggestions on what to do next?

Phone could now be bricked.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
what phone do you have? gt-s5570, or gt-s5570i? did you wiped before flashing the rom?

[Samsung Galaxy Mini] gate1:
The phone I have is a samsung galaxy mini version GT-S5570
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] yackovsky:
ok, then just go to recovery and wipe data and cache, go to advanced in recovery and wipe dalvik cache, reboot... next time read at least a little bit before doing anything with your phone, that may prevent you from frustration coming from bricking your phone...
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] gate1:
Hi

I did wipe data and cache and tried the above but do not have the advance recovery option. I do not have CWM recovery installed only Android system recovery. There is no advanced recovery.

WHY NO ONE DOES NOT WORK ON MIUI ROM, DEVILS ROM, Semaphore ROM,JETMOD6 ROM.... i9070 Galaxy S ADVANCE is the perfect phone, other phones have had for 12 roms, and more ... we want more quality roms :) THANKS :highfive:
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dark Passenger:
In my opinion every phone should have :

>cyanogenmod(latest version)

>Paranoid Android(latest version)

>PAC-man rom

>MIUI(dont care)

>AOKP

now for any of these roms there needs to be a solid base of the most important custom rom (well the mother of all custom roms)Cyanogenmod and the devs here(diego-ch,shaaan,frapeti to name a few) are working pretty hard to achieve that so only thing i can say wait for it....

PS sorry to spoil this rant of yours.:angel::D

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d14gvn:
WE NEED THOSE KERNELS.

Without init.d support, we will don't have scripts, custom boot animation, better drivers and powersave support.

I aprecciate the work of the developers, the first thing that we need to make a good ROM is a good kernel. JetMOD 6 now has it, then wait.

When Cyanogenmod for our phone reach his beta/final release you can be sure that all the custom ROMs that you are expecting, will apear :cowboy:

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaaan:
Let me get one thing straight! CM is the base. Miui, paranoid, aokp are all based on cm. So once we have a stable cm, only then we can get other roms.

If you cannot wait, donate some money. From this money, we will give a device to the cm team. Only then we will have fast builds and fixes from the cm team itself!

If you don't want to donate, keep shut.!!

[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Thvmh:
Say it if I am wrong, but I thought the only difference between aokp(nexus) and cm is the extra features of cm and the boot screen...
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myrddral:
Afaik, AOKP is not a mod of CM, but a rom developed from AOSP sources (just like CM). They do have their differences and similarities though, as a result of friendly collaboration among different teams. This is the open source magic :)

I would love to see CM on our device because the samsung JB rom is quiet a memory hog.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shubhamsizzles:
This question is to all the developers out there!

I am more of a graphics designer than a programmer.

I have very basic knowledge as far as programming and API's are concerned.

I know there are tools out there which can help you Compile and Recompile APKs, and I can do that without help,

but I was wondering if its possible to edit just the graphical elements of the app (say, change the app icon,or modify the typography, or color accents) without the need for changing a whole lot of the code?

If not, is it possible to learn how to do it in a short while?

I would love to modify to redesign a few open source apps and post it here for everyone else. ( Inspired by Android Design in Action :) )
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deathblade:
Yes it is possible all you need this:

1 the app you wish to modify

2 an app called ninjamorph

A computer optional

And enough space on your phone to decompile on APK which isn't much

A way to save the app as an Apk on your phone ( ie titanium backup or the like)

Run ninjamorph I believe it has a tutorial with in and app if you need it very simple to use

It will decompile the APk of the app and then you can go into the product work space within ninjamorph and goto resources drawable depending on the app maybe drawable HPI just look through the folders then select the PNG you wish to modify and ninjamorph has ui to change right there on your phone or you can connect your phone to a computer and transfer the PNG file you wish to modify to the computer and modify it there then replace it and in the exact location you found it (with the same name names are I believe case sensitive) and use ninjamorph to recompile the apk, uninstall the old apk (if installed before hand) and install the new Apk and there you go should work

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No you cant change the margins and fonts that way. You will have to edit the layout of the app by decompiling it and changing the XMLs and maybe some smali coding changes.

I ported this boot animation per a request for the DNA, then was asked by another XDA member (box of kittens) if I could make it work for the One XL as well. I've never messed with the One XL before, but these aren't too difficult to do, so I thought I'd give it a go.

Please note that the Installation Instructions are just copy/pasted from my DNA thread, but they should be pretty much the same for the One XL. If someone would like to confirm or provide better instructions I would be happy to update this OP.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

- Copy to your device

- Use a root explorer (I use ES File Manager) to navigate to /system/customize/resource/

- Rename the current boot animation file by changing the file extension from .zip to .bak or .old

- Copy/paste the new boot animation file into the /system/customize/resource/ folder

- Open the File properties and make sure Group and Other have Read permissions (rw- r-- r--)

- Reboot and enjoy

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] hv6478:
The only place I was able to locate a file called "bootanimation.zip" was in /system/media, as searched in ES File Explorer. This is on a Sense-based ROM (RebelROM) not sure if/how it would differ for different ROMs. I followed the instructions with this folder path instead, renamed your file to bootanimation.zip, changed permissions, but the same boot animation remained there. Is this only for AOSP/CM-based ROMs?

EDIT: I decided to try to put the same bootanimation.zip file in the /system/customize/resource/ folder just for kicks, same result.

The Sound Enhancements of the Walkman App stops working if you install some Ad blocking app such as Ad Block or Ad Away.
