Heya, guys. First of all, I'm sorry if this is the wrong section or if it's already been answered somewhere. I've searched and tried a few things and can't get things to work.

I tried this and this, as well as one other I already can't remember, but they're all failing in Odin at the same place:

<ID:0/003> sboot.bin

<ID:0/003> FAIL!

I started with VRALL4 and tried to unlock it using this, which I now realize was the wrong method to begin with; a stupid mistake, I know. In my haste to unlock it, I was dumb and blind.

Since doing that, I can't get things to work past sboot.bin.

To whoever helps me through this, you will forever have my gratitude. ;/

Hello guys, do you know if there is a way to get a working photosphere with AOSP Endeavoru Build??

I have tried the most popular .zip that is around the web, but the camera app crashes as soon as I take the first pic. Does anyone knows a fix for this??

Thanks!!
[HTC One X] Guich:
Try this :)
[HTC One X] Winterblade7:
Yup, that's the one I tried, it worked nice when I was running the stock sense 4+ but it doesn't work now that I'm running an AOSP ROM :( any other ideas??
[HTC One X] cimoblas:
Ciao Guich,

I've just tried this method and cannot get it working. I see now that I've got another ''gallery'' icon in my apps also.

When I want to shoot a photo sphere the camera starts as it should but the pics get shot to close to each other so I get half one pic on the other other (half pictures) and thefore the whole sphere picture comes all messy.

I've tried to fix this via ROM manager ''fix permissions'' mode. Restarted and nothing helps.

My phone is a HTC One X (Endeavoru) with CyanogenMod 10.1 Android 4.2.2
[HTC One X] Guich:
If it don't works, i can't help...

I saw only this mod for photosphere...
[HTC One X] jbainesy:
Just another thing you could try:

Go to settings>apps and select the gallery app and clear it's data and cache?
[HTC One X] Miustone:
CyanogenMod and AOSP Rom's are using a 'gallery2.apk'. This one

is using a 'GoogleGallery.apk'...

so do this:

Use Titanium Backup (or another like this) and delete gallery2.apk (The Galerie apk)

then,flash camera42_patched_v2.zip and wipe dalvik cache, and reboot...

Finish,it should work;)

I have been using nexus 4 since 2 days now. I am on stock no root. To me it feels as if t scrolling speed is not as smooth as I found it to b on other devices like s3, i5, note etc.

The speed seems slow whether I m scrolling t web pages or inside any app.

Anyone else feel t same....I think its a ROM thing. Kindly suggest for improving t same....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crisisx1:
Yeah same thing I thought the instance I got my n4...scrolling thru xda and pages was laggy...

So I rooted unlocked boot loader and flashed pa3.0 and that problem was fixed...

I still feel like scrolling on my s3 is a bit smoother
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit999:
Sorry but could u pls tell me a little about pa3.0. Noob here :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crisisx1:
It's a ROM from moles. Located in the original development section. You would have to be rooted with unlocked boot loader first.

WWW.nexus4root.com follow those instructions if you want to root
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit999:
Anyone else experiencing the same issue or is it only we two????
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clockcycle:
It's only the two of you.

Sorry. :p

But seriously, you'll probably not notice after a few weeks using the n4. I can't remember how my previous devices were anymore and just enjoy my n4 stock.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calyxim:
When I got my n4, first thing I noticed is that how fast it was compared to s3 and iphone 5 like.

But if your browser is chrome then I can understand the lag. Try any other browser. Can't be worse than chrome.

Lightning browser is the best one for the noobs.

In terms of apps everything is faster on this phone. You must be doing something wrong.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nigeldg:
This is easily the fastest device I've ever used, and I'm just on a rooted stock ROM with a few colour tweaks.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit999:
I agree that t phone is much much faster but what I am experiencing is the lag or slow speed when I scroll let's say contacts, xda app, chrome etc. I hope you understand my problem....

And I feel that not everyone is experiencing the same issue.,..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrevSo:
My phone is the same way, and the touchscreen can be pretty unresponsive at times. I feel like there's a decent amount of occasional lag when I'm scrolling through home screens or opening the applications. Definitely could be faster, I'm considering an RMA.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thref23:
Hey guys....here's my situation.

I bought a Blu Touch Book 7.0 plus off of Amazon. Got it two nights ago. It's a true phablet. 512 RAM / 512 ROM - I was a little concerned but figured as long as I could root it, I was good to go.

Anyways - no I am not looking for a root. I was able to root it relatively easily after an initial failed attempt which required a factory reset - if anyone is interested, it required PDANET+ & UnlockRoot, SuperOneClick and other methods failed. I threw in a class 10 SD, and modded Android so all apps would be downloaded/installed to my SD card (I did this using the SDK & command prompt in USB debugging mode). I had researched apps previously and began to furiously download and tweak. I threw in a T-Mobile SIM, and everything was going well, I was very happy. It actually seems to be a well made device, though it's a little bulky and the phone function works much better with a bluetooth headset.

Then, I deleted Phone.apk. Despite all apps being downloaded/installed to my SD card, space was still at a premium and I had downloaded a third party dialer. I figured worst case, I could do a factory reset and/or could simply re-download the file (I was actually about to download a good backup program tonight after work, I've been busy the past two days and my anxiety to set up other stuff got the better of me). There was no immediate issue, but shortly later I got the dreaded 'com.android.apk has stopped' (or what not) message popping up constantly. I reset the device, it booted up but it was not reading my sim, and was missing icons. That's when I did something stupid-er. I found a Phone.apk file on the net, downloaded to my device, and copied it to the relevant directory.

Since then, when I boot up, first it shows that Android is upgrading, then it shows the 'unfortunately, the process com.android.apk has stopped.' I click 'Okay,' and it keeps popping up. I wasn't able to delete the wrong Phone.apk as there was not enough time for a longpress between error messages. I was able to initiate a factory reset - I was rather relieved - I had learned a bit the past day or two via trial and error, and I would be able to re-do everything perfectly this time.

But the factory reset did not revert to the right 'Phone.apk' file. So the problem still exists....

If anyone can help me, I would be oh so grateful....thanks...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissionImprobable:
A factory reset clears all user data & apps. If you deleted the phone app from system, you will have to reflash a stock zip, which I'm assuming you don't have, or find the stock apk and put it back in the right place as a system app.

If you have Titanium Backup you can use that to do it, provided you can find the stock phone apk.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thref23:
Well, a problem is, I doubt that I will be able to find any ROMs or Phone.apk's for my device. At least not for a little while. There are some ROMs out there I believe for the original Blu Touch Book - but the original has a diff processor and is running Froyo rather than ICS.

Now, if I somehow can find a workable Phone.apk or a workable ROM, how do I go about flashing/copying? I can hook up to a PC (though I'm not aware of any USB storage mode that I can turn on), but the phone itself is just about unusable unless I can manage to delete the wrong Phone.apk file, as long as the file is simply missing it will boot up without the relevant features. And - let me repeat that I did a factory reset to try and fix this - it didn't fix my problem but it erased my apps and my root access....I can probably restore root but it won't stop the warning notification from popping up non-stop.

I was able to boot into safe mode previously - but it didn't help. If there is an applicable recovery mode, I can't figure that out. To my knowledge, there is no USB Mass Storage option that I can turn on.

I purchased from Amazon, so luckily I can return the item, and worst case they review it's condition and charge a restocking fee. Of course, I was looking forward to receiving this device for more than a week and have been obsessed with it since it's arrived...and I am also temporarily back to using Sprint (in Phoenix) on a 3.5" Windows Phone (I am an ex Windows Mobile fan boy, Windows Phone disappoints) after experiencing 6 MB/s 3G speeds on T-Mobile for a day or so (on a 7 inch screen and on a prepaid plan far cheaper than what I pay Sprint). I was about to port my number. Basically I am depressed. An irony here - I'm pretty sure Amazon sold me a used device that was advertised as new. On initial boot, the Android set up program did not launch. Upon my first factory reset, the set up program launched, and the dialer skin was different than what it was out of the box. The 'refuse product if this seal is broken' sticker on the packaging was partially broken, too, although it appeared to be partially in tact. But now if I try to play that angle, I come off like a scam artist...

Anyways thank you very much for your reply...all attempts to help are appreciated quite a bit...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thref23:
Taking things one step at a time, let me simplify my request:

How can I delete (or replace) a system file from my device (in this case, the incorrect Phone.apk) remotely via a USB connection? I have the sdk installed on my computer, I can connect the device to my computer, but I can't really use the device until the file is deleted. Is it possible to push via ADB? Something to that effect? Will the 'push <local> <remote>' command work even if I do not have root access? What syntax is used to specify the path? Is it possible to simply delete a file without replacing it?

Does the Phone.apk file have to be specific to my device or could it be specific simply to my mobile carrier/frequency bands and/or ICS? I realized the Phone.apk file I copied to the device earlier was for the Huawei m835, a CDMA phone running Froyo...

Or, am I simply SOL?

Thanks....
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spunker88:
One of the things about Android devices, as a former Windows Mobile user also, is that factory resets work differently as you've found out the hard way. In WM you could delete any system file you wanted and a hard reset would restore it. On Android if a required /system file is deleted you are SOL unless you have a way of restoring a backed up version. Its highly recommended IMO to have a working recovery like CWM, TWRP and a backup before you go messing around with /system files. But with a generic android device its probably not possible to find a recovery to install. You cannot write to the /system directory without root access, adb will give you an error. You may be able to use a phone.apk from another device with the same version of android.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thref23:
I did find a Phone.apk from a device with the same manufacturer, on the same frequencies, with the same screen res, running the same version of Android. I have the full System/App folder if needed.

And I may have restored root access using UnlockRoot (I have read iffy things about the program but again it's all that worked for me initially). (EDIT - I do now have root access, I was able to verify the Superuser app on the device)

However when I load the SDK and type in 'adb root,' after the 'daemon started successfully,' I quickly get an 'error: closed.' And then when I try to push the Phone.apk file to the relevant folder, I get 'failed to copy / permission denied' (EDIT as I was warned of)

Is there anything I can load onto my SD card to help? I can run probably install an APK off of my storage card. Although I am very limited in what I can do - between error messages I can only get in one quick touch of the screen (and it usually takes a few tries per touch)...I can't do anything that requires a long-click...and I had also deleted the stock keyboard and the stock browser...limits me further...

Now, if I can delete my current Phone.apk and upload the stock keyboard, I am certain I can figure this out. There has to be some way to do this....

EDIT// I packed it up to return to Amazon. If there was a solution out there, oh well...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MissionImprobable:
Like I said you may have been able to use Titanium to install it as a system app and that may have taken care of things once you set it as the default app and/or removed the faulty one.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thref23:
^^ Right, but the challenge was installing Titanium Backup, and then using it while the error notification popped up on the screen every split second. Unless I am missing something, only way to download it would have required me to buy a Bluetooth keyboard and struggle to pair it so I could type (I had a USB keyboard that didn't work), maybe reassociate my device with my Google account (struggling to type letter by letter between each 'OK' click), have the apk sent to my device over unsecured wifi, put the .apk on SD (or just delete the wrong apk and reboot), and then hope that I could use Titanium backup to do the trick without the ability to press anything on the screen for longer than a half second or so...

Actually, I guess that could have worked, provided the Bluetooth keyboard worked. Of course, there's the chance that the Phone.apk I found for the similar device, might not have worked. Anyways, late now. I have a new one on the way, and I was shipped a slightly used one to begin with anyways, might be for the better. I kinda feel bad that the phone is now 'defective' as a result of my impatience/etc but then again I didn't do anything that the instruction manual warned against, not to mention the instruction manual says a factory reset restores factory data, which I think infers that it restores essential system components. And as much as I was an idiot, I don't do anything which should have caused a nearly non-recoverable error. That's on Google's end. Google doesn't even really discourage rooting and if you allow Android on a device with 512MB rom...

Learning experience. One of the first things I do when I get my new one, I download a backup program and find out if there is a recovery mode. In any event, I won't make the same mistakes twice. Thanks to those who replied or considered replying. Anybody has tips for the future, that aren't obvious or easily found, feel free...

Open sdk and type su if u get "#" then u r rooted.

If so let us know

---------- Post added at 10:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

as a rethought I see u deleted system app so u were rooted

---------- Post added at 10:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 AM ----------

Firstly adb pull the file "/proc/mounts" open it using notepad and see how system is mounted.

then remount system as rw using

"mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /

<path to your system> /

system"

Now u can delete stuff or add new stuff without perm error

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thref23:
I installed PDAnet+ on my phone & PC (as a means of installing a driver for the TB Plus). Then, I ran a program called 'UnlockRoot,' followed instructions, and I had root. UnlockRoot v3.1 is what is installed on my computer.

I moved on awhile ago to the Galaxy Tab 3 7.0 (Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 would be my best recommendation for a budget phablet). The Touch Book plus only held up so well (though I still have it and it still works albeit with no speaker and a screen that needs to be color-filtered due to a mysterious type of screen damage).
